You can also check your data usage on your phone by

Settings>Data Usage. There you can set a cap that turns off Data when you hit it.

There is currently no way to bypass throttling... Before, like 6 months ago you could by forcing yourself on hspa but not anymore.

I however haven't been throttled in 2 months and have hit over 30gb both months.

There seems to be a bug in some areas on atts network. I'm sure they will fix it very soon..

The bug started after att had that lte outage two months ago..

But it could be fixed by now.. Not sure yet will let you know once I hit 5gb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigb252:
Throttling is also dependant on the area. People in or around metropolitan areas will be throttled faster than people in the countryside.

As for me, I haven't been throttled in over six months with me hitting an average of 6gb per month.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muzamal:
Here is what happened: i had root access on v10d and my phone was getting too hot and WiFi didn't turn off in sleep. So I decided to factory reset and thought that I didn't have root after that. Then I updated to v10f using OTA and I was using an app that needed root. It was apex launcher. And I was able to add widgets from the app drawer. Then I installed superuser and root checker and my phone was rooted. Is that normal???
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
As the su binary is stored in /system, it is not affected by a factory reset (which wipes the /data partition. And the OTA seems to keep the root, as it has been mentioned in the firmware thread.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
So, the official ICS RUU upgrade is here. I've had some experience with various custom ICS roms, and I found that I love Sense (3.6) and ICS.

Reading the prerequisites and other documentation got me thinking. I hope you guys can answer my questions, or some of them.

1. What does the ICS RUU have over custom ICS roms? I can't imagine anything, except for an updated radio perhaps?

This will help me determine whether I may get the ICS RUU or stay on a custom rom.

2. The prerequisite is having the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader. Plenty links and instructions for backupping and flashing that, that will work.

However, *why* is is necessary to update it? Something to do with the size of the ICS RUU, which leads me to believe that the HBOOT 2.00.2002 is much smaller than my current alpharev 6.98.1002 HBOOT. But AFAIK (in general) bootloaders are quite small..

3. Are the any advantages to the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader? Besides being to install the ICS RUU.

4. Since I'm thinking of updating other parts of my phone besides the OS itself (HBOOT, see point 2) I got thinking about the radio too.

My radio is version RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M

I have very poor reception in some parts of the country where I regurarly am (many weekends per year). Updating to the latest official Radio may give me better reception. Updating to what HTC considers the best radio firmware seems like a good idea, right?
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
Is this the wrong forum to ask these questions?
[HTC Desire S] esque:
WiFi Hotspot is working.

Not everybody cares, I know, but I do.

Let's see... no need to go the X-Clip route to root your phone, just do an unlock and that's it.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
You should do your research first as almost all has already been answered.

1. ICS that came out is official from HTC. That means its more stable, faster, and less buggy from their eyes. And may also be true if compared to other Custom ROMs. Its a matter of preference and ROM testing to see the differences.

2. The untouched ICS ROM also works for HBOOT v2.00.002 (came from Sense 3.0 release, Gingerbread). The HBOOT v2.02.002 (came from Sense 3.6 release, Ice Cream Sandwich) is an updated version of the latter. There maybe great changes, or maybe not. I have not seen any changelog from the net. Based on my experience, HBOOT from ICS does not want the System/Lib partition to be formatted via ROM flash from recovery. But the HBOOT from the GB can.

3. Not known yet. See number 2.

4. Yes and no. Yes, because HTC wants you to use the radio that is included from the RUU as they see fit that that is the best for its ROM. No, because some ROMs or its developers, same as HTC, prefers certain radios to be used, that is if you plan to use custom ROMs. Regarding your reception, the Desire S has already been found to have a lesser or weaker reception compared to other phones. Even older Nokia phones sometimes are better from it. Depends on your area as well.

Hello all

I am facing issue in my HTC droid Incredible that after a particular use it overheats and reboots

Also I have changed its rom, radios but still no change

I am currently using Stock ROM 2.2

Some Custom ROM solves this problem

Please help me to solve this problem!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
What is the particular use?

Is that a question or a statement?

Are all functions of the phone working, radio, wifi, bluetooth, gps?

What is your cell signal strength? A low or no signal will cause the phone to work harder and consume more battery and get hotter.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoraptor:
Just a couple thoughts,

1.) Battery might be bad. Lithium ion batteries generate heat in use, but if the battery is damaged or was a generic battery to start with (or a counterfeit OEM battery) it would make any heating problem worse. (yes some of those exploding phone stories you hear about are true)

2.) What sort of environment is the device used in? The Dinc is mainly a plastic phone, and has a lot of little seams around the back side under the battery cover. You can try to remove the battery, SD Card, back plate, and any cases or screen protectors, and then (carefully) use a can of compressed air to blow any dust out of it around those openings. Just be careful not to spray any of the propellant liquid (white flume) into the phone, and wait a few minutes for it to come back to room temperature before reassembling. This greatly helped an old Droid2 I had which was getting warm.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddh_2011:
will do this

particular use------> when the battery temperature exceeds more than 39 degree celcius it goes off....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddh_2011:
Phone is fully functional

signal strength is -73dBm

also using latest radio--->2.15.10.12.20
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoraptor:
Let me know if it helps :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prius56mpg:
If the phone is in a case, take it out and see how it does.

Also, some folks report overheating when using Navigation and streaming music and on a charger in the car. If that sounds like your usage, maybe cut back on some of the multitasking a bit and see how it goes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stlbasstbone:
=P

Also if you're rooted you can try SET CPU...I usually turn down the CPU speed that seems to help the heating issue at times.

On 2.3.5 i can do this..

Same know if there are some thing to change to permit this?

Thank in advanced

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
It is based on the shortcuts that you have on your dock. Change the dock apps and the lock screen apps will follow considerably.

[Android General] Charleslunn:
Hi,

I'm currently designing a completely new android device and would like some feedback on the hardware designs. (It is a phone with a 4.2" screen.)

I will build a working prototype from an old Zte blade and 3d printed bits at some point.

Update: the hardware i'm thinking of for a product final isn't like the blade's, it would be higher end.

Update 2: The apk thing was kind of a separate note, this phone would initially be AOSP i was just thinking of something separate I'm working on.

Please don't steal my idea, and credit this source if you build upon it.

Any way

please let me know what you think:

docx format concept attatched below
[Android General] mingolianbeef:
Not something u see everyday, will definitely take a look
[Android General] Joel5121:
How about stereo speakers? You should design it like this; one on the bottom left (speaker A) & one on top right (speaker B). In portrait, speaker A is the left channel, speaker B the right channel. This is ideal for listening to music. But when the user switch to landscape for example to watch movies, speaker B becomes the left channel, speaker A becomes the right channel. I know it's quite hard to imagine but it totally makes sense. Also, it distinguishes your device from others in the market.
[Android General] votum:
Why though? Who listens to music from the speakers anyway?
[Android General] Felimenta97:
Not always, but I do.
[Android General] Charleslunn:
About the speakers:

good idea but i don't know if it's plausible to have two sets at the top, what if the mic was two way? then it has two larger speakers on the front for stereo playback?

attached below:
[Android General] Joel5121:
Both speakers should be on the back, not in front. That would be ridiculous LOL. Also, how about a kickstand so you don't always have do hold it when watching movies.
[Android General] Charleslunn:
You always have to have a speaker on the front, it's a phone. there wont be room to have it at the back at the top as well as the two cameras, proximity, ambient light sensor, and front calling speaker.

about the kickstand; I've already been thinking about that, but where would it go? I'm building up some models for one with a kick stand now.
[Android General] Joel5121:
I think you a referring to the speaker for phone call. I'm talking about speakers that you listen to when you play music. Almost all phones have it on the back, but only 1. My idea is to put 2 of them.

Edit: An example of phone with stereo speaker http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w595-pictures-2469.php
[Android General] Charleslunn:
right new picture; this one incorporates the idea of a kickstand with two speakers, although they are on the sides they wrap around to the back.

My comment on the front speakers was an idea that you could use the calling speaker as a music/ other audio speaker, as well, for movie playback.
[Android General] Joel5121:
Great! Are you really building this phone for the market or just designing for fun?
[Android General] TobiasV:
Looks like a weird version of the Xperia Arc :)

[Android General] deanwray:
If you fancy some crit, (BTW I'm a 3D artist of 16 years in games/film as a TD so I often only see the bad points of design or function)

1. "Edge to Edge" screen. Although I've often thought about a phone with this, from a design standpoint it becomes a little impractical for a number of reasons.

a) The users hands activate the areas on the edge just by holding it.

b) The problem of a) becomes much greater when holding the phone and operating it with one hand (it near enough means you can't, because of your palm or lower finger/thumb)

c) Any case or protection that one would want for the phone has a problem of not being able to wrap at the sides to create better grip to the unit.

2. Curved screen. Most curved screens work from a convergence angle based of the "average" eye distance in use. I think the curves are just too much for a device of this size. I personally only see a need and or advantage for screens of 15" + to be curved.

3. The volume/power button arrangement seems inconsistant with the actual design flow of the phone. Me personally would have them following the profile of the phone (curved)

4. Front speaker position not being centered would mean the use of the phone as a phone would require you to hold it at a rather odd angle for optimal function. Thats why most ear speaker outs are centered with sensors / camera surrounding them.

5. Depth/feel I could imagine this phone if held would be almost as annoying to me as an iphone4, maybe more. The angled edges and depth mean it would feel more like a slab of metal than something I would be using every day.

Just a few thoughts for an "angry" Yorkshireman ;)
[Android General] sadie2099:
Cup holder!

Lol, sorry couldn't resist.

Make it contoured for a natural feel.

Decent aspect ratio for gaming/movies
[Android General] Charleslunn:
Right, so I'm taking all of your ideas into play (sorry no cup holders though ;))

I'll post back in a bit with 3 new, different, concepts. If you could vote on them it will be most appreciated.

FYI: This is initially for fun but if there is enough interest I might try to release a couple of low end working phones to the market.
[Android General] eoghan2t7:
If you did release a version of your phone how much do you expect it to be to a consumer?
[Android General] Charleslunn:
Depending on what i did for the guts; somewhere between £150 and £250
[Android General] coeptis:
Rule 1: no rectangular shape.

Rule 2: no rectangular home button.

Or be prepared to be sued.
[Android General] Charleslunn:
Apples Patents are for a: 'rectangle with equally rounded corners' mine has no rounded corners

and the home button is not rectangular, its the AOSP/ GNex soft keys
[Android General] eoghan2t7:
Looking good from the prototype pictures just a few constructive criticism so please don't take offence to them ;)

1. Top speaker for calls I would center that and have the proximity Senor on one side and camera on the other.

2. Don't curve the screen have it flat and level to save any strain on the eyes.

3. Any buttons on the side add a slight curve to them to have a more fulid finish.

Other than those points I wish you all the best in your project and if they do go to market I probably buy one depending on price and hardware ;).
[Android General] Chxrlyglez:
Cool!!

Looks like my Xperia S & a G Nexus combined!! :P
[Android General] leith51:
Can I suggest you don't want anything less than a 1.5 quad core, 2gb ram, 4.0 Bluetooth, min of 12mp cam with flash 1080hd video, 2.0mp cam on front, fast wireless, 4g/3g, 1080 playback, sd slot and nfc

All above would keep it well in line with top smartphones already on the market it's then just down to styling design

In which case I agree with others lose the curve it's a bit to much even though it looks good just not practical in the pocket, also instead of 4.2 make it 4.5" screen I love my s3 just not over keen on it being this big lol

Also can I suggest a hardware key for quick access to the camera plus the kick stand on the back plus give it more rounded edges than the s3

Just a few thoughts

Good luck keep us up to date with your progress :)

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Android General] Charleslunn:
Long post :), but get where your going.

also the screen is 16:9 plus a small extra bit ( making it 16:10) at the bottom for the soft keys. no real estate is lost.

Hard keys take up space however what about something similar to the HTC One X?
[Android General] Charleslunn:
OK here is the combined .SKP with 3 models in it, one of which i could not get round to finishing as i ran out of ideas. Feel free to mess with them and re-post your ideas. the one which is ringed is the original model.

Update: Just occurred to me what about a Cyanogen Mod Dev device?

[HTC EVO 3D] triscuit1983:
It's an app used for warez or rather pirating other apps. So more than likely yes. And the discussion of that app and apps like that here is not cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] vishaltejwani:
As per my experience it does slow down the device for reasons unknown. I'd recommend not using it and actually buying the apps. That way you also help the developers in giving them the recognition they deserve:victory:.

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I don't want to judge, but if you say you support the developers and buy apps, but you removes ad's from, I'm assuming free apps, then are you really supporting the dev? They get paid by the apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I agree, but I disagree with using the app but blocking the ads. Most people don't want to work for free nor should they have to. So, in my humble but correct opinion, suffer with the ads or buy the full version. It's not fair to the dev to use his work without paying something. Now, ads in paid apps, block to your heart's content. Just my two cents. :D

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
If the Dev's did not put intrusive ad's, Huge ad's or push ads to my phone then I would not have a problem with that but they do.

the game Homerun battle gives you one ad just before you enter a game it is neither intrusive, huge or does it push ads to my phone.

Talkatone has add that take up 3/4 of the screen they are so intrusive its ridiculous.

And if I am correct dont the dev's only get paid if I click on the ad? if so I never click on them so it would not matter if I take them out or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] omgmanatee:
I haven't had any permission alerts about it from LBE Privacy Guard, so I assume it's at least somewhat safe on that front. I've used it once to remove license checks, but it wasn't really worth the hassle and I figured I might as well just buy the apps and support the devs.

If you use it to block ads, then I'd recommend using Adfree instead. Since Lucky Patcher isn't an official Play Store app, so I don't really trust it too much.

Hey Guys, trying to fix the green camera problem here, and I know 99% of people (who are most likely right) would tell me to RMA it to the destruction experts at Asus, but let's say there was reason to believe it wasn't the hardware rear camera piece with some degree of confidence. What I'm trying to do here is downgrade the camera firmware specifically. I was on .28, camera was on 0x9900 (I think, pretty sure not at home), do I downgraded via method, I'm back on HC yet camera firmware remains the same new version. Anyone know how to force a camera firmware flash/downgrade. I know it may very well be, and probably is a dead end but at this point my rear camera can't get any more broker. Thanks guys!
