Hi, everybody!

Because i'm new junior member here, i want to share some tips. If you think this post helpful, just press thanks, ok! :fingers-crossed:

Here are 10 tips before flashing custom rom :

1) Read the rom information and compatibility before downloading, like the base firmware, if your firmware is lower than rom firmware, please upgrade.

2) Recovery can be used for flashing the rom, CWM/Stock. Don't use stock recovery if the rom support only CWM.

3) Kernel used in the rom like kuro kernel and repencis. Is the kernel supports a2sd or init.d and the performance and compatiblity.

4) Features in the rom, like rooted, deodexed, zipalign, a2sd, tweaks, bravia or beats audio engine, 4wayboot, EPM, and the STYLE of the rom.

5) Performance the rom like fast and stable. You can benchmark it with benchmarking tools like AnTuTu Benchmark and feel it yourself.

6) Custom tweaks supported by the rom. If the rom support this, you can manually tweaks the rom, but don't share it WITHOUT PERMISSION by the creator.

7) This is for your phone safety if any malfunction caused after flashed custom rom, BACKING UP your current rom with CWM feature, Nandroid. You can read from this. But, to recovery don't do recovery from CWM Nandroid, because the MD5 sum is'nt same with your new rom. Just follow the step on the link.

8) CWM Recovery must be have. This link to download cwm

9) Wiping data/reset, cache partition, and dalvik-cache is required. Before do this you must follow step 7, because it will remove your apps, and your system data

10) This will be very very very required, the rom ZIP file. Haha! :D
​

That's all i've been shared for you. But, where's my "THANKS" everybody? If you think this helpful for you, just press it! HAHAHA :laugh:

[HTC One S] dannygud:
I have created a new contact person in Google Contacts on my PC (Win7, IE9) and added a birthday event to this person.

The event is not showing on Google Calendar (even with subscription for “Contacts' birthdays and events” under settings).

It is showing in Calendar on my ICS android (HTC One S) mobile device.

I deleted this new person from Google Contacts (on PC) and the problem now is that the birthday event remains in android calendar (still not shown in PC-Google Calendar) and I can't delete it.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I had a lot of problems with the HTC calendar finding and syncing to sources with bad information such as incorrect birthdays. I would suggest clearing all cache and data from the calendar, then opening the app and selecting only the data sources you want, breaking the links to any you don't. I can't describe the exact steps because it's not very clear to the user and I don't have a Sense ROM right now (for reasons such as this exactly).
[HTC One S] dannygud:
Solution

It seems that I got a solution (not perfect one - because the data is out there somewhere not actually deleted.... but it works...):

I choose to display only the Google calendar diary (my user), not choosing the Contacts (perhaps its local one, although the event was created on Google acount...)

Oh well.....

Go to Settings/About Device and scroll all the way to the bottom until you see "Hardware Version." Google the number with " SCH i" preceding it so. It should look like this: "SCH ixxxx" with the x's being numbers. One of the top articles should detail which GSIII model you have.Post back with both the hardware version and your Google search result so we can verify you did that correctly.

Yesterday I've start data wipe (going to give the phone to my wife).

Data wiped, started rebooting and I've got a black screen.

Seems the phone is fully dead. It's not turning on, not entering recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power), not entering download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power). When I connect charger it does not show battery charging on screen. :crying:

At Samsung Official Service Center they said me that it is motherboard fail and it is need to replace it and it costs $270. F4k them, I sure that this is a software problem, not hardware.

And when battery is in phone, the battery is heating up, so phone is on.

Can I do anything myself?

PS. All manuals here assume that one can enter download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), but I can't enter it.

The software has affected the hardware.Why have you got no warranty?.If you bought the phone 2nd hand then now you can see it wasn't such a good deal.

Samsung should be giving people like you a "goodwill warranty" gesture.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
When you installed titanium, did you go into preferences and choose the correct backup folder? I always have to choose the one on my external sd card because by default titanium uses a folder on my internal card. Just a thought.

Well, I wouldn't definitely write to the dev then. I think this same thing happened to me a couple years ago, if I remember right I basically had to start over. Have you tried installing the apps from the market and then restoring its data? Or maybe restoring one at a time?

"We're coming from a pure power source"

I've had that happen to me, I think I fixed it by messing with filter settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aFoodStampBaby:
Does it say filter settings or is it called something else? I'm not finding it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] uresh.kuruhuri:
Probably you missed checking the "Normal apps (apk)" option

In order for the backup to properly be restored after OS upgrade/update, you would need to have the apk files. The apk files are backed up by Titanium Backup as apk.gz files ONLY if the Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked before you back up the apps. Otherwise, it would only backup the app properties and data and not the apk files.

So this is how it works:

Scenario 1

: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked

With Titanium Backup, you can restore the APP + DATA.

Scenario 2

: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is unchecked

With Titanium Backup, you can restore only the DATA, but you can do so only after you install the app either from playstore or manually (in case if you have the .apk file).

Hope this helps.

Hey,

i noticed some strange behaviour of my hox screen. From time to time the screen won't respond in the middle part. Also it just freezes and I have to turn the screen off and it works again but middle part is still unresponsive. All over sudden the middle part would work again. I was using eternityprojects kernel 3.4 v0.62. All was working fine until yesterday. Flashed everything again from scratch ( viperX 2.2.1 + stock kernel + fullwipe) but still the same.

Anyone got a clue on this? Thx! :)
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Send for replacement, this is becoming more common.

I'm not particularly sure of the cause, but a few people have recently said parts of their screen became un-responsive.
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
Strange thing is that it comes and goes.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
There are probably many factors that could affect this; temperature, rate of change of temperature, phase of the.moon :p.

Flash the stock RUU for your device, if that doesn't fix it, off to repair.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Yeah I'd try re-flashing a ROM.

If not then DEFINITELY send it back for replacement/repair.
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
I'm on viperX 2.2.1 + stock kernel. Haven't tried another kernel after yet after flashing again. Also strange this doesn't effect the keyboard or appdrawer. Only scrolling. If want to scroll you will see that it's stops in the middle and it opens a link for example.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Now that confuses me.

I've seen one where it only becomes unresponsive on the 3 Dot menu bar etc.

Which is making me start to think its more software related than first thought.

I would keep your stock kernel for now, as that will not make a difference.

Also, although ViperX looks to be an amazing rom (im not yet rooting my HOX) I would try an alternative like ARHD or Leedroid etc.

Also try a factory reset.

If non of these fix the problem, then I say it must be hardware, and go get it replaced/fixed.
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
Well tried another kernel and still the same, might wait for the whole 2.2.1 viperX Rom and try again. If it persist ill try another Rom. Possible that it could be related to any script like supercharger v6 etc.?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
is it showing this problem when charging?
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
Happens when charging and not charging.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
hmm. i had a similar problem, but only when charging, but it was the whole screen. and it was only when charging at home, from the mains, not from usb etc.

then i sent it off for repair for different things. when i got it back, i updated, and later that evening, i tested the screen problem. doesn't happen anymore.

although i then rooted etc and installed viperx 221. plugged in a different htc charger at home, and the problem started happening again. normal charger it doesn't happen, or at least not yet.

all of the above makes me think that software can resolve this problem, and that it isn't hardware. but it is hard to make that decision.

hopefully the above helps. don't really have a solution, just the fact that different rom/kernel *could* make a difference.

the main cause/environmental difference i believe causes this, is excess noise on the mains power supply in your house/work

the problem you're having obviously is different though.. tricky one
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
Hmmm. Thx for your help mate! :) funny thing, it's gone for now see how long it will last. :rolleyes:

how I fixed this problem.

I know this is an old thread but I just faced this problem, my HOX is one from India that I got from Amazon.. and initially was working perfect, then I faced this issue after testing new roms, wiping, and pretty much everything you can imagine was tested...

I did one las thing cause HTC told me that I needed to send this phone to INDIA to have it repaired...

I asked my provider for a new SIM card... and that FIXED my problem...

Hope you guys have the same luck.
