As long as we're talking the cheapest shipping available (I.e., staple the thing to the back of a mule, point it west and send it on its way), I think we can call it a deal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenca:
Just wondering which update was the 100.27mb one ? i am on stock bell MOYCALE8 and I am letting it download now , I am sure its the one CALH1 I seen others talking about , only thing that threw me off was I thought the size for them was 80mb....going to do some more searching maybe someone can just chime in here and say it was 100mb not 80? thx:p

delete me

update was 100.27 mb and it was just I747MVLALH1 , just got confused on size. thanks
[HTC One S] TrentSe7en:
I have unlocked my wife's One S and got root access, still using the stock ROM, but flashed cwm recovery. An update for the OS is available, but it fails when I try and install from within the OS. I tried to manually install it from the SD card using cwm, but it fails the signature test part. I noticed I can disable the signature check, but wasn't sure it was a good idea.

Can any smart people give me some advice?

Thanks
[HTC One S] franck2k5:
You need to unroot your device and reinstall the stock recovery.

Hi All,

I flashed my phone with Cleanroom 4.5 few weeks ago without any issue. Recently, I tried to enable wifi hotpot/ tethering, an error message says "There is a temporary network problem that prevent the enablemwnt of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later".

I try with another wifi hotspot apps, but no luck.

Wifi and 4G, 3G are working fine.

Anyone experience this issue? and how to fix it.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
Any of the market apps do the same thing? I tried enabling my hotspot on my Telus HOX and it would work but my tablet would not be able to pull any data. Used an app from the Play Store and all is good again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
this post should be in the Q&A section.

did you flash any mods to cleanrom? flashing the att icons for example might cause this problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ncanqn:
Thank you for replying.

I only flashed cleanrom 4.5. This rom already changed 4G icon. Not sure that cause issue.

I tried apps on Play Store but still does not work. The apps give wiress signal but could not connect and go to internet via it.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ncanqn:
(From Scott) In 4.5 there is file called CleanMODS under Sdcard. I flashed it to remove the 4G icon and Wifi hotspot back to work now.

Thanks all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ktcanuck:
I flashed CleanROM 5 using TWRP and I love it. Without remembering the issue with the AT&T icons and tethering I accepted the icons and lost tethering.

I could not find CleanMODS within the CR5 zip. I have found it in CR4.5.

How do I use it to go back to stock icons? Or can I do this within CR5?

I need a bit of a walk-through if someone could take the time? I have a Rogers HOX, unlocked and rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
You have to use generic ics profile for market wifi tether apps to work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ktcanuck:
Ok, I see what you meant now but it made no difference.

We're referring to a much elaborate explanation of what it actually does, does it kill apps when going to sleep to remove loads? Does it disables 3g/wifi when on deep sleep. We want to know how this script works. Please use common sense first before talking sh*t.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
Whenever I use the stock sms app and receive a message, I get this weird thing going on (screenshot is included). I'm running the the latest stock rooted OTA (LI3) currently but before then I was running MIUI and I didn't experience this issue.

It ONLY happens with the stock messaging app. I tried it with ChompSMS and other things to reproduce a 'ticker' notification in my status bar and I don't get it with anything else. At first I thought it was a defect with my phone but seeing as how only one app is causing it then it must just be the app.

Anyone have a clue of what this could be or a fix? I'm currently waiting for the stock OTA to complete downloading so I can reflash but it's taking a while.

Thanks for all the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
This thread can be deleted. I reflashed the stock ota over my already stock set up and it fixed the problem.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
Yes I did. But look in my status bar beside the first letter of the incoming text message after my name. It was a strange thing going on. But it's resolved now.

Edit: It's back. I'm not sure why but I'm actually not bothered by it at the moment. If anyone could tell me, still, why this is happening it'd be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kdepro:
Are you talking about that phantom-like pipe character in front of the "T"?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TechieGeek:
I posted this in the wrong One X subforum initially, so here I go again.

If I were to buy an unlocked AT&T One X to use on T-Mobile, would I be able to pick up T-Mobile's LTE after they roll it out in 2013?

Is the only difference between the AT&T version of the phone and the international version that the AT&T version has a dual core chip and has LTE? Are there any other differences I should consider before purchasing?

What is the theoretical max speed of the HSPA+ of the chip on the AT&T phone? Is it the 42Mbps? (I live in a T-Mobile 42mbps market, so once they refarm to 1900MHz I'm wondering what I'll get at that time, before T-Mobile rolls out LTE)

Is there anything you think I should be aware of before I buy an unlocked AT&T One X to use on T-Mobile?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
1. If the band frequencies match then yes it may be possible

2 and 3. Google it, you spent more time on this post then it would take to research it

4. You won't be able to root it unless you get luck with a one x with 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Why not just wait? Or buy an International edition? Until they transition their bands you will only get EDGE on your phone. And then most likely it won't work on LTE when they roll it out even assuming you are in the first LTE rollout.

Or just wait for someone to make a cwm flashable zip that's already rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
If you are rooted and running stock, then you will be ok. If you are rooted and on a custom ROM then just flash the stock rom. Or what Teo says

hey OP have you seen the answers given to you by fellow members? If not when you do be so kind as to thank them for taking time out to help... not saying you were not going to but....

If you want to try a JB rom try AOKP 9/13 or 9/18 both running pretty damn good most

Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Duolos:
AOKP / JellyBean

I have to agree with Playya. I'm running AOKP Build 3 and have no issues at all. It's a great JB ROM.

If you flash that, you may need to set your governor to "Interactive" and Scheduler to "Deadline." I did to avoid some constant crashes.

[HTC Sensation] czguy:
I have a HTC Sensation Z710e rooted and S-off with custom "Android Revolution HD" ICS ROM. My wife has a HTC Sensation Z710a with an official ICS ROM. We are both on dinosaur Rogers network that gauges on its clients planning to switch over to WindMobile. The problem we are having is that my wife's Sensation won't work on WindMobile network. It's because WindMobile operates on AWS 1700 band that is supported by Z710e model (HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100) but not by Z710a (HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100).

Going trough all different threads in Sensation forums I am getting lot of conflicting info so my question is; if I root, S-off and install Android Revolution HD ROM that comes with it's own radio and essentially converts regular Sensation in to Sensation XE; will my wife's Sensation Z710a be able to support AWS 1700 band as well?

Is it only software (firmware, baseband, radio) or actual hardware that differentiates Z710e and Z710a models? Both my wife's and mine phone look exactly the same unbranded HTC Sensations...
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Whilst you can run the have the same ROM and Radio versions on both phones you cannot convert Z710a <-> Z710e. They have different hardware for the data frequencies.

So in simple terms if your wife want's full 3G functionality she'll need a new phone. She'll still have Voice and Edge though.
