Hey, I've been living with a iPod Touch as a make shift phone and it has its ups and downs. The up being the MP3 player of the iPod being far superior, the down is the hell called iTunes. Question: Can I live with iTunes? Ans: I may buy a gun, put one bullet through my PC and then probably me too before I can answer that question with a straight face and say yes. And no. I miss a lot of Android. The copied notification shade is a big sham (though they implemented it different to Android, I can't make it work like I can on the Droid.) you can't access the memory like on the Droid, each app can see only their stuff. No co-operation on the phone. No centralized accounts thingy. All things google can hang themselves. Nah, I give me a Nexus any day. A Dix will be fine too. Only thing I like on iOS is some of their gui graphics (only some, not all) as they look so glossy and chewable. I think that can be taken care of using MIUI.

Side note: Their new Maps seems to have a nicer interface (appearance wise) than Gmaps, but at least for now has no transit routes. Which is all I use maps for. Google should polish its Navigation app. The google maps app on the other hand looks clean and perfect on the Droid. (TL;DR)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RangerSteve:
Last year my wife got an iPhone and I got my Dinc2. I had very little in the way of iPhone envy and after I rooted and installed ICS, I had none whatsoever. My wife is pretty tech savvy, but she just wants things to work; I love to tinker. Over the past year, it's really been eye-opening for both of us because she struggles to change settings or do things that I don't even have to think about on my Android phone. She's regularly frustrated by Apple's control - even after jailbreaking. The iPad is even worse. I was tempted when the iPhone 4S came out, but after our experiences this year, me with my Dinc2 and her with the iPhone, I'm Android all the way. Even though I'm a die-hard Mac user, I wouldn't buy an iPhone or an iPad. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] smayer85:
Hair wondering when you had the iPod touch ? The new ios has where you can interconnect some accounts like fb, Twitter, and instagram which is all most people do anyways. Also, what kind of hell is iTunes? Just wondering on that one. But instead of saying they don't do something or lack an option android has make sure you jailbreak and look for the apps. It's not fair to compare rooted android vs stock ios.

Have you tried the Marketplace section of XDA? People are always buying, selling, or trading all kinds of phones on there. It's worth a shot. You might have to throw down a bit of cash along with the trade, but possibly not. It's worth a shot!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
So what is the differences between the same version releases for different countries? Why can't it be just one firmware for all?

Also, if I wait for the JB OTA from my carrier I wouldn't need to worry about changing the CSC, right? So CSC will just make sure that the firmware you are flashing (from another country) will be transformed to your own country, is this correct?

Lastly, is it always recommended to factory reset data of your device BEFORE and AFTER flashing via Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
The differences are localization and quite possibly the default language. Seeing many languages are actual android languages, you shouldn't have a problem running a rom from outside your region.

You would be needing a Battery calibration app, if you think your battery drains that much fast. Just try

this

app and see whether it works. Also install an app called "CPU Spy" to check whether Deep Sleep is working properly.

Hello,

I have one HTC One X, and i use Android Revolution HD 9.1.X and i try to upgrade to 9.7.2 today.

I boot in to recovery, start the upgrade, everything seems to be ok, i press reboot, but the phone stops and i can not access HBOOT menu. I try Press Volume Down and Power to start the device into Bootloader mode, but nothing happen. Only the nice HTC quietly brilliant :)

Can I fix this? yes i can :)

Hold both buttons down until you see the bootloader.

I tried it too and did not work, I started about 100 times, finally it worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beldeabogdan:
Hi guys, i ran across a very annoying problem today.

I failed to flash the latest version of cm10 on my i9000 and soft- ricked my device.

I thought flashing a stock rom is a good idea, but after flashing successfully i get an error, because the partitions are no longer rfs format,

they are ext4.

What should i do now, i dont have any roms on my device to flash them via cwm.

I was wondering if there is any way of changing the partitions back to rfs is possible via odin,

Or if i can flash a rom that supports ext4 via odin instead of cwm.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beldeabogdan:
Sorry for not being specific

I did not mention the type of error.

It shows me: cannot mount partition;

This error appears several times coloured in red.

At first i ignored it but get into a bootloop where the galaxy s boot animation starts over and over and over....

The boot sound its played only the first time if that helps you with something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
In CWM, use usb mounts and storage to copy the ROM you initially used to convert your partition to ext 4, to get it back

Not possible and you could lose your internal SD card

hi everyone,

When I tried to stream video from my dropbox acct using MX player, it would show "this video cannot be played". :crying:

Howeve, using my Nexus 7, the MX player works perfectly with the same video file.

So it has to be due to some HTC One XL settings.

Look forward to your advice and feedback.

Thanks.

Hi,

First of all many thanks to Christian Troy for some exceptional work done regarding Allwinner A10 tablets. I really appreciate the hard work done by him for the CM10 Build but from the past week I am badly stuck on one issue that if some one can please help me out! I am a newbie noob here and I managed to follow his thread for Allwinner Development and Unofficial Cm10 Thread by the help of which I am able to Install CWM and his CM10 JB Update onto my Tablet but the Touchscreen fails to work. I have manged to obtain following things:

1) Touchscreen drivers and all relevant files from Root Explorer from my A13 MID

2) Original .img Firmware

3) Auto Update Creator with which I tried the Compatibility zip Package to port the drivers

Till date from past 1 week I am trying to get the ROM and since Mr Troy has left work on the ROM Development further I am stuck badly as I have all necessary stuff for the Zip Package for Compatibility Zip file which has necessary drivers. I have tried a lot flashing but it fails. So Please if any one can help me out so that I can use CM10 on my tablet finally. So Close yet so Far but I am hopeful if some one here can help. Since this is my first post here I only had this option to post.

Thanking You & Regards,

Dilmeet

[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
This is hands down the worst phone that I have ever owned in my entire life. There are tons of

1) Biggest problem is definitely the home button. This alone makes the phone totally unusable. Want to use the GPS while driving? Well forget about cause you are going to get in to a car crash trying to set everything right with this home button thing going on.

2) randomly says I don't have a sim card while I haven't touch my simcard at all. And I only find out about this when I check my phone and by then I could have been unavailable for a couple hours. Well whats the point of a mobile phone then if you aren't always available. This is btw not a rom issue

3) Battery. I never get more then 1-2 hours of screen time on a 14 hour stretch. The iphone 5 gets 8 hours of browsing time.

4) Can't hear my phone ringing while out in public. The speaker is just pathetic.

5) paint problem of the black htc one s. Come on man. In the end I just sanded everything down. But that makes those cheap plastic bits stand out. Not to mention all the dust and gunk thats building up around and under these plastic bits. I can't see the LED light either unless I am viewing it directly from above. The design just isn't there. Although samsung isn't better either in that department. But the iphone just does it right.

7) Rom development sucks but I have no choice because sense sucks even harder.

It is unbelievable that HTC just can't get the elementary things right. My phone is totally unusable and it has been a miracle that I have surved this past 5 months on this POS. HTC lost a customer. I wasted 500 euro on this POS.
[HTC One S] Sol7_v:
Sorry for thay. So what phone u got now?
[HTC One S] carlos_abril_94:
i have none of those problems, go get an iphone and be happy
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
Well I am probably going to get the iphone 5. Which I actually don't really want to do because its just expensive and its not really going to be a major upgrade compared to the HTC one S in terms of speed and the apps I use and even the screen.

But what choice do I have?
[HTC One S] Sol7_v:
Well since i love Samsung i suggest u choose Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or SIII... Its less than the iPhone 5 but more function... Since u mention function.... These phone are the best... Well if u like iPhone application then choose iPhone.. But i suggest Samsung SIII or Galaxy Note2
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
You give of about the black model chipping etc. well the iphone 5 is no better, has the exact same problem, in fact probably worse.

I have not encountered any of those issues that you have mentioned, my black phone (older design) is still in perfect condition apart from the USB port area, easily the best battery life currently (4-6 hours on screen time [manual control] spread across 1-3 days usually), only phone to top it is the iphone 5, although iOS does no more as much as android i.e. the multi-tasking and the hardware is more power efficient and the software/drivers are better optimized.

I do agree with you on the NLED though.

EDIT:

Just noticed who the OP is........ *sigh*

Move onto the iphone already for god sake, you moan and moan and moan about the phone all the time and keep going on about how iphone better etc. as I told you before sell the one S and get yourself an iphone, such a simple solution........

BTW, fed up with the ROM development? Then educate yourself and you go and make a better ROM then!

TBH starting to think you are just one big troll.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Oh god not you again.

Sell your phone and get an iPhone. It's clear you're an iSheep so flock with the crowd.

I have also not encountered any of these problems. In fact, i'd say the HTC one S is the best phone ive ever owned. I find android superior to ios in many ways. Just my opinion.
[HTC One S] tgtoys:
Soo if you're disappointed with the development on the 1S, wait until you see how many options you have with the iPhone :p .

I personally have never had any of those issues, and while I come from an HD2 which probably had the most rom options of any phone, I find that we at least have quality over quantity. TrickDroid, Viper, Energy, and oh a little thing called OFFICIAL CM10! Thanks I'll subdue my flashaholic ways of the past for a great stable Rom with lots of cool features.
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
Jesus man. The fanboyism here is super high. You guys are in denial.

And I can show thousands of pictures of my battery life. I can show you tons of threads about issues that people have with this phone. The home button thing is a major issue and you guys are denying that. Unbelievable.

This is not about android vs ios. Android JB is superior to iOS6 except in the gaming department. But none of these manufacturers can make a decent phone. SGS3? Great specs but its still a cheap plastic toy phone. Even if I was into plastic I'd still don't know how well the user experience is. Thats one thing I have learned from using the One S. Even though the one S is infinitely faster than my old iphone4. The iphone is still the superior phone. Its in the small details.

Battery life, volume of speakers, volume of headphone jack, bugs in software, battery charging time, unibody design, support. The user experience is everything and quad core means nothing. Especially not with this generation of phones where nowadays everything is blazing fast anyway
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Go away troll!

no one is being a fanboy, we are just fed up with your stupid BS you keep spreading every month in a new thread despite being proven wrong with many people saying they don't have these problems.........

You experience these issues with some others, however, once again just because you and some other people experience these issues does not mean that everyone also has the same problems. People only ever report the bad stuff, hardly ever the good stuff.

I can show you videos, photos of my mobile (and I already have shown you plenty of battery screenshots with detailed usage), but it doesn't matter because you will still go on and on about how this phone sucks, how iphone is better blah blah, followed by more diarrhea from your mouth.

I have no problem with battery, touch button issue, volume/speakers/headphones (get better headphones!), what bugs in the software? My signal is more or less perfect as well as wifi connection, unibody design as I said no marks on mine apart from USB port.

Once again, why do you not sell the one S, all you do is moan and complain about it, sell and buy something else? Why is that so hard to do?

BTW do you honestly think people would keep a phone if they experienced that touch button issue? No matter how much of a fanboy someone is, they won't put up with that ****. I for one wouldn't so why would be denying this issue as well as the others?

You don't like the support, then you do something to improve it or better yet, move to a phone that has got better support i.e. nexus, GS 3 etc.
[HTC One S] vcrp94:
"The user experience is everything and quad core means nothing." Troll much? I don't own a One S but i saw this post as i was scrolling down to the One X section and i must say you are a pathetic troll, as far as i know only the One S has a dual core Krait, the one with the quad core is the One X and i believe someone who is at XDA and knows about Custom Roms at least know what processor their phone has. :confused:
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I can't stop checking this thread. It's like slowing down on the freeway to see a car accident. I have never, in my life, hated a product so much that I just vent and vent and vent without doing something about it.

[HTC One S] ridearoundsolo:
People will always complain, WE know our device is a great fully functional device
[HTC One S] AndrewAmazed:
Haha I recently purchased the HOS but I definitely do not have any of the issues mentioned on the forum.

I mean okay, in reality, if people are content with their product, they usually won't need to ask questions or post help threads until necessary which is when their phone malfunctions or encounters a problem. So I'm guessing there are actually more happy owners out there in comparison with owners with issues.

AND. although I wish the development on this phone was better, I can't really complain as it has everything I both need or want (well battery life can always be better).
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
I wasn't talking about the ONE S! I mentioned quad cores cause that sounds infinitely more next gen and awesome and futuristic then a measly dual core. It was to make a point. CPUs nowadays don't matter cause I can't tell the difference between the last gen CPU's (Nexus S, iphone4s) and current CPU's (a6, s4 krait, quad cores from nvidea and samsung) in day to day usages.

Where did I say that the One S has a quad core? You just went full retard!
[HTC One S] ridearoundsolo:
Yea most of the complainers are really just a small bunch compared to the ones who actually are content, I only rooted mine out of boredom (boredom in life not with the phone lol) otherwise I would've been fine with it out of the box, why? Because mine had no problems, all the problems came after flashing roms and what not but that risk I was willing to take and I'm still left with a flawless device

[HTC One S] evilRafael:
Volume of speaker is low, that is correct. Everything else is random senseless whining.

- There is no "home button thing going on"

- The sim card thing is obviously from a faulty device which you should replace

- Battery is average for Android

- The build is solid but *will* be damaged if you keep the poor thing in a pocket along with car keys and your dildo, still people are always trying to take this phone off my hands to admire its looks (also I don't think there is "paint" in the black device)

- If you disapprove the current speed of rom development, why don't you develop roms yourself?

You said it, you like the iPhone, spend the extra buck and spare us all.
[HTC One S] smb282:
I concur 100% with these sentiments, having come from the mighty HD2 myself. I own and still love both phones...why can't some people just move on until they have the phone they DO like and sthu about the ones they don't? Some people just hellbent on adding some misery to the atmosphere, I guess...too bad.
[HTC One S] ridearoundsolo:
Yea I agree, its also wierd. I truly thought when I had my g2x that the xda board for it was one of the few boards that had complainers and the "rest" of the devices had to be flawless, well I was wrong, I was surprised to see that this kind of behavior is all over xda, but android is very popular now which explains this large wave of complainers coming in

You still banging on about the same old boring dross?! Even when people prove otherwise you still go on and on and on and on with the same whinging.

2 get an iPhone and join an apple forum then you can bang on about the lack of brightness, development and battery life of android phones there and be surrounded by other brainwashed trolls of a like mind :mad: I hear the iPhone5 has got the headphone socket on the bottom... that should keep you happy :rolleyes:

I have not been proven anything at all. Where is the proof then? On the other hand if have posted a bazillion pictures of me only get 2-3 hours of battery life in one of the threads. Sometimes not even 2 hours. My battery life drains so much faster than my friends iphone 4s when browsing the internet. There are a bazillion of threads about the home button and this is a problem from the start. Then you have the paint problem thats also around for ages. As well as reception issues.

Finally I have had an iphone 4 and so I can see all the small little details that just detracts from the user experience. From the flimsy cheap plastic caps on the back of the phone, the the dust and junk that builds up under the simcard/camera cover, all the grooves, rattles and uneven surfaces its making with the unibody. from the placement of the speaker on the back to the low volume of the speaker, syncing, low headphone output, charging time, bugs in sense, bugs in custom roms, rom development.

Now combine that with a low res screen, the major problems from above, battery life and you got one of the worst phones that money can buy. But you guys are just

1) ignorant and oblivious of whats out there

2) in denial and fanboyish
