[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
I need a portable digital audio recorder for work and I'm investigating the possibility of using the EVO LTE. My most important requirement is I need to be able to connect an external microphone to it. Is there any connector or adapter available?

I know there are headphone/microphones for making phone calls. This confirms to me that the EVO can use an external mike. What I need to find is something that plugs into the same port that allows you to connect whatever mike you want. I do not need the headphone (audio out) working at the same time (makes no difference to me).

There are several apps available that allow me to use the phone as an external recorder for making MP3 or wav files. These typically use the phone's built in mike. I want to use one of these apps with an external mike.

Does anyone know of such an adapter?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
I found this but have not yet purchased it, so I can't say for sure if it works:

http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-MUYHSMFF-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B004SP0WAQ

The manufacturer mentions that it may not work with a specific device due to an impedance mis-match. I have no idea what impedance the EVO requires, but I assume I can find out by looking at the specs of a corded headphone/mike accessory. Then I may need another in-line adapter to match the impedance.

I am posting this because I was not able to find the answer here at xda so maybe this will help others.

The stock gallery app force closes and tells me there isn't enough memory and tells me to delete some items. I figured I was low on RAM but I had only 460MB in use. Cleared memory and no luck still. This is only app that does this. Does anyone have an idea to fix this?

I think I fixed it. I looked at storage and apparently it does that when the USB storage is full. I can't figure out what folder is USB storage though so I had to delete stuff. With 3.63 of 3.75 gb used gallery works again. Someone know where the USB storage folder is?

From the article: "If you're shocked to see such a senior figure at Apple blurt out such an anti-Apple opinion..."

Actually, Wozniak hasn't been an employee in any normal sense at Apple for a long time. He does hold a significant number of shares of course.

That aside, I have to say, that article kind of raised my opinions abuot Woz. I knew he was a fan of Android - but it's good to see him come right out and say what needs to be said.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newabc:
Currently Im using stock Froyo 2.2.2 on MB525 (green lens)

I wish to use CM7.2 stable but keep the ability to switch back to stock Froyo 2.2.2

[Also next I am going to try for CM9, CM10 and MIUI builds & wish to come back to stock 2.2.2]

I m going to take nandroid backup of my current stock Froyo 2.2.2 rom before flashing.

Also I have sbf link from this site sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

Now my doubts are

- as mentioned in many forums, they have asked to use fixed SBF to keep downgrade ability, so for CM7.2 stable where will I get this fixed SBF ?

But I think that I dont need to flash any SBF,

Below are steps I have so far thought after research

[PLEASE confirm them]

i.e. I should -

-1 Root my Defy

-2 Install CWM recovery or 2ndInit(I doubt it cant take nandroid backup plz correct)

-3 Reboot in recovery mode and take nandroid backup

-4 Next "wipe cache partition"

-5 Next "wipe data/factory reset"

-6 Then install CM7.2 ROM from zip from sdcard (or CM9/CM10/MIUI/etc)

-7 Then install gapps from zip from sdcard

-8 Finally Go Back and reboot.

-9 DONE

Now if I want to restore to stock Froyo 2.2.2

-1 Boot in recovery mode

-2 Choose restore option

-3 Select my previous nandroid backup from sdcard

-4 Reboot

-5 DONE

Are these steps correct ?:confused:

[I want to get sure coz I have this only phone]

Thanks for your paitence

If I do so (in recovery mode), there are 0 files detected / copied. The device id is something like 12345678ABCDEF.

The reason why you could not copy anything was because you need to manually mount your /emmc under mounts and storage in recovery. you cannot do this since your screen is not readable.

There are two ways to copy out your files:

A. Boot your phone normally, then follow these steps:

1. Connect your device to your pc

2. Open command prompt from Adb folder. (hold shift key, then right click on a blank space, select open command window here)

3. #check if your device is connected via adb by typing in the command window: adb devices

4. #copy all the content of your sdcard by typing in the command window:

adb pull /sdcard \mysdcard

wait for the process to finish

Check you C: drive for a folder named "mysdcard". all the files and folders in your internal storage will be there.

B. Boot to recovery, then follow these steps:

1. Connect your device to your pc

2. Open command prompt from Adb folder. (hold shift key, then right click on a blank space, select open command window here)

3. #check if your device is connected via adb by typing in the command window:

adb devices

4. adb shell

5. mount sdcard

6. ## check the directories of the sdcard just to be sure by typing:

ls /sdcard

7. exit

8. adb pull /sdcard \mysdcard

wait for the process to finish

Check you C: drive for a folder named "mysdcard". all the files and folders in your internal storage will be there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I thought the only time your IMEI was in any danger was during an unofficial unlock process. A ROM shouldn't mess with that data. I haven't seen any reports of ANY ROMs hurting the IMEI. I went back and forth from GB to ICS to JB a few times without issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] d3athsd00r:
The IMEI should be stored in /efs (I think) so as long as you have a backup of that you should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adfurgerson:
I may be wrong but my guess is they had to change the filesystem from rfs to mtd for jellybean on the cappy. It allows bigger partitions, but efs gets misplaced during conversion. I don't think this was ever an issue on s2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grubby0:
I derped my IMEI on my S3 so I have done a lot of reading about it. This is what I have gathered, the S2 keeps it in a nice neet little folder called the EFS as d3athsdoor has mention. There are several ways to back it up but for the S2 I have read that this https://play.google.com/store/apps/....ktool&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd works nicely and can be restored with the same app. On the S3 the IMEI and other important data hasn't been confirmed where it is stored yet because it is in different locations, But there are some really smart people looking for it. But in your case just back it up before you go to flashing (if you choose so). I have backed my S2 up with the Ktool app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] andruha88:
Def back it up, because if you mess it up you cant restore it without back up

open com.sonyericsson.android.camera.cameracapability_pref.xml

<map>

<int name="max_picture_width_1" value="640" />

<boolean name="scenerecognition_supported_0" value="true" />

<boolean name="scenerecognition_supported_1" value="false" />

<int name="max_picture_width_0" value="3264" />

</ map>

Set to

<boolean name="scenerecognition_supported_1" value="true" />

How to enable Photostack like this Screenshot :

Open com.sonyericsson.android.camera.photostack_sharedprefs.xml

<map>

<boolean name="photostack_sharedprefs_open_state" value="false" />

</map>

Set to

<map>

<boolean name="photostack_sharedprefs_open_state" value="true" />

</map>

How to enable Photostack in Camera 3D Panorama :

Go to the folder data> data> com.sonyericsson.android.camera3d > shared_prefs

open com.sonyericsson.android.camera.photostack_sharedprefs

<map>

<boolean name="photostack_sharedprefs_open_state" value="false" />

</map>

Set to

<map>

<boolean name="photostack_sharedprefs_open_state" value="true" />

</map>

yes but it locked immediately upon opening the camera ;)

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
Can't I ask a question?what is photo stack?and how does it work?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] olivierboro:
Photo stack means the way your last photos are shown. When the camera is just opened, the recent photos are put in front of the previous one (one stack), by putting a finger on it and dragging to the left, these photos appears side by side. The tip is only to open the stack by default.

I have another question : is there any drawback to enable faster scene recognition ? Why Sony didn't enable it ?

hey, i was wondering if it is possible to root my phone and s-off so that i can install custom roms. also, if i do s-off will.i be able to flash any htc one x rom, or only the ones from this section. here is my phone info.... software version 1.94.631.3 ,android v. 4.0.3 ,sense 4, baseband 0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L , thanks. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thegregulator:
You can definitely root the Rogers One X. You'll have to unlock the boot loader, root the phone, and then install TWRP recovery to flash a rom. There are many guides on how to do those. You'll only be able to install One X roms from this forum. The international One X roms won't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
S-Off has not been achieved for this phone. But you can unlock the bootloader, root, and install custom ROMs.

You can only install custom ROMs in the AT&T, Rogers etc. forum. Our device is the Snapdragon S4 dual core version. The "international" version is a completely different chipset (Tegra3 quad core), and ROMs are not interchangeable. Not only will flashing a ROM for the "other" One X not work, it may also brick your phone.

My index is a good place to start looking for things: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

In particular, in the "ROOT" section you will find a link for the Rogers root method. The thread is old. So make sure you research that it works for your firmware version.

I don't personally have the Rogers One X, so hopefully somebody else will come on and give some more in-depth help with the bootloader unlock, root process.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nabeel Kiani:
Hey I have the Rogers HTC One x and all I did was unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev and then put a recovery (TWRP) via ADB commands. Then I was able to successfully flash a ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
Follow my guide (in my signature) for the Telus variant. The files attached in my guide is also applicable for the Rogers variant as well.

As redpoint mentioned, S-OFF is not yet possible but you can unlock your bootloader and then install a custom recovery to get a custom ROM with root permissions.

Make sure you write down your Rogers APN's before you do anything though. Not sure if Rogers needs two APNs like Telus does, but if you want to keep your default LTE/APN settings, write them down or back them up so you can restore them EXACTLY after you flash a new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
I belive that Rogers only needs one and telus also only requires one APN.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nabeel Kiani:
Yea Rogers needs one APN, the LTE one. Which can be easily found by a simple google search.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WarRaven:
