I for one am a little unsure about the glass back. A naked iPhone 4/4s doesn't feel right in the hand for me on account of the slightly raised edge which helps prevent scratches when face up on a table.

If the new nexus has the same flaw I may have to wait for the Motorola nexus.

We'll see when they hit the streets. CM10 will help tide me over with my S

Hi,

I've just received a One X white from Dialaphone on Vodafone. I thought it would be the 32gb version but it only has 16gb of which 10gb is available. I thought the UK version had 32g. In the hardware info all it has is Quadcore, no other information.

Have Dialaphone sent me the international version or are there 16gb uk versions?

Thanks
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Not seen any 16GB versions here in the UK. What's the beginning of your serial no?
[HTC One X] mungosdad:
The serial number starts SH294W then 6 further digits
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Hmm what does the packaging say 32gb or 16gb?

Seems they have 16GB now: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mo...orks=O2&tariffContract=&gift=&clearance=false
[HTC One X] mungosdad:
I've just looked at the packaging and it states that the model is S720e and 16gb

probably the reason why Dialaphone are able to give it for free on a 12m contract for only £36pm
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
A new cheaper version was due. So most likely that is it.

Where would I start to uninstall dspmanager in MROM rom?

I would like to install volume+ but, they clash and need to uninstall dspmanager.

All replies are highly appreciated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I don't know anything about MROM, but in general if you want to remove a system application, just use Root Explorer or another root file manager to remove the app from /system/app. Or a better way is to freeze/block it with either the paid Titanium Backup Pro or the free Gemini Application Manager. That way you can re-enable it in the future if you need to.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaelel:
and who met a real program to compress and decompress files on wp7 ( as pocket rar or 7-zip windows mobile)?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The phone supports the ZIP format by default, although it only offers a UI for unzipping files. RAR is proprietary crap with a restrictive license. Either one can technologically be implemented in an app just fine (legally, RAR is much trickier if you want to include compression, but decompressors for the format are available in source code form). I question the need for a compression utility on WP7, but if you want to write one, go right ahead; the source code exists and you can either do it entirely in managed code or use a native library and access it through COM.

What is game experience after JB??? Is better or lose? Really suck with 1.4GHz for gameloft games!!! ALL GAMES ARE LAGGY!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahlerl:
I've got a few gameloft games installed and not having any issues myself. Using the balanced profile by default. Do you have any other apps running in the background chewing resources?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] meobscene:
Same here. I have problems with Bad Piggies (crashes all the time and send me back to homescreen) and with The Dark Knight Rises (low frame rate.. sometimes lags like hell). For now, I only tried these 2. With ICS everything was smooth...

P.S.: I've factory reseted my prime as soon as I finished the upgrade to JB and injstalled just a few apps... Runnig Stock rom from the begining allways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Ive played angry birds, bad piggies and Dark meadow. I have only seen ANR' rarely usually after using the "One click kill" tool and the games all perform and don't crash.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justcookiesncream:
If you were to filter the reviews to the newest TP reviews for Bad Piggies you'd realize that it'sa known issue.

I've only tried Horn so far and it seemed really laggy initially but after a few days my Prime has seemed to someone settled with the update and it's running really smooth now and I'd safely say that gaming performance wise it fares pretty well in comparison to gaming reviews on the Nexus 7

And if you're intending to get the game I'd advise you not to. The game carries no substance at all, it's too well guided and all that you need to do is to click what's in front of you and move forward, feels much more like a game meant for kids, the graphics and story however is worth looking forward to
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] steveaitch:
The only real issue I've had is occasional stutters, which I've put down to background tasks or apps that I might not have shut down before playing.

Only game to crash during play was Bubble Shooter which has been a bit strange since the upgrade. The longer you play the more it stutters and having got bad one time it then crashed completely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Pretty much flawless for me, well for the games i play at least :)

Shadowgun, GTA III, Horn, Asphalt7, Real Racing, Rayman (one of the best games for android ever imho), Dark Maedow... Everything is smooth and i didnt have one single FC so far :) loving it.

Hi - I am having a problem transferring my contacts from my HTC Desire to my HTC one x.

I have read another thread on here but I am still having issues

on my Desire i have 206 (phone number) contacts.

I have imported from SIM card to my google account and from my SD card to my google account - all of these seem to copy across

Under 'Accounts & Sync' my google account is ticked and the last sync was the 3rd Oct so all should be fine there - i think?

When i try and use transfer on my one x it copies over only 186 contacts - when i actually look most of these are email contacts and only 20 of these are phone contacts - so it seems like only these few are actually on my google contacts in my Desire.

Any idea where I am going wrong

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Sync all contacts on your desire to Google, go into settings and accounts, under Google make sure contacts is checked.

Found internal UART today!

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Uart negotiation Error

Insert an OTG cable into the connector!

Sad part is, I have a cheap soldering iron and I don't have any leads that are small enough to solder to the connections. :(

This would perfectly replace my crappy radio shack soldering iron...

Big shout out and thanks to AdamOutler for his [HOW-TO]Set up a Captivate for Samsung Bootloader Development thread!

I previously found the jtag pins on the back side of the board (the side facing the lcd). From the front of the board (the side facing the back of the phone) if you look at the bottom left, then flip the board around and look at the bottom right, you will see connections just like in the magnified picture Adam shows.

Here is the same picture, but the pins are the opposite. With tx (top) and rx (bottom) on the left side of the jtag in this picture:

In this picture (from the ifixit tear down) I have colored tx as blue and rx as red.

You'll notice the little copper dots are also marked tx and rx, as they are the test points!

I used the exposed copper on the screw hole next to rx as gnd.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ericmpanda:
And your results are ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
They are in the first code section at the top of the OP.

I was only able to find the UART. I wasn't able to do anything with it, as I'd need to solder down some small (26 gauge or smaller) wire to those two copper test points. I don't have a soldering iron that is good enough for this job. I need to save up enough to get a better soldering iron and some wire. (about $115 + shipping, all together).

I had the phone's mainboard out connected to a power supply, and some sewing pins connected to the bus pirate mosi (tx) and miso (rx) to touch them to the right jtag pins and test pins to confirm they were the uart pins.

As soon as I can get a new soldering iron and some wire. I can start doing more interesting things like working on bootloaders and porting new kernels (3.1.x+), as having internal uart provides uart without depending on the FSA9480 chip to be setup properly to do usb uart.

Congrats on finding the points. Are you able to dump the bootloader using it? At some point once you get it going, if that's possible, I could dump a "W" phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'm envious! I've got a state-of-the-art Weller (and a top-of-the-line Fluke multimeter) from the mid 80s. SMDs were basically unknown back then :(

The FX-888 is a little less expensive through Amazon right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Thanks! Every little bit helps!

I don't think it is possible to dump the bootloader, but it is one of the things I'm going to research. Maybe if AdamOutler or Rebelos drop by, they could maybe give a hand with the T959W bootloaders.

There was a Weller on the lab bench at my old work, and I would have had internal uart a while ago if I still worked there.

I will look into it! Thanks for the tip!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Wherever you get the FX-888 from, get it from an authorized Hakko dealer. Lots of fake Hakko's out there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I assume you are trying to port U-Boot giving us a better more customizable bootloader and enabling FM Radio.

Edit: You can get one of those Soldering Irons Used on Amazon for 75 bucks. That's what I'd recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Indeed, the adafruit site is pretty legit.

Indeed. U-boot or lk. LK is for qualcomm processors, but I may make a exynos port for it. Not sure yet, and need to get the pins soldered down and start experimenting before I can say wtf I'll do.

I'd like to get a new one, so I have a warranty and make sure it is genuine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
amazon is really reliable and a new one is 14 bucks cheaper as well so about 81 bucks for a new one.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

also, lk seems interest for fastboot. I used to love that on G1

EG adb fastboot flash splash_image (or whatever it was) awesomebootsplash.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I can get fastboot support on u-boot as well.

Btw... it's just:

fastboot flash <partition> <filename>

It's a separate command from adb.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If I had more money, I'd get an iron with a rework attachment. Having the heat gun for smd is so friggin helpful!

If I can get 60% there on donations, I can hopefully cover the rest on unemployment funds. I don't expect anyone to pay my way, but if you'd like to see custom bootloaders and newer kernels, this would be the place to donate.

Also, I'm looking for other sgs phones (not sgs2 or sgs3... yet) to make unbrickable, add internal uart, and port this new bootloader to... After I do the initial research on the sgs4g of course!

So if anyone else wants to have a dev phone and have an gt-i9000, fascinate (sixstringsg might send me his), sk4g (I'm borrowing TheLastSidekick's right now, but I don't have it for very long), infuse, vibrant, or any other samsung/exynos 3110/s5pc110 based device. I would be happy to do the work to your device. But I would really like to make a codebase of u-boot or lk that has all of the sgs devices in it.

I've already started looking at some of the sgs2 devices, but it seems that most of them have the qualcomm processors in them, and I feel like I have subpar knowledge of their chips without a chip specification/user-manual like the s5pc110 has. But they are supported by lk.

I opened up my sgh-i717 note and found the jtag port (thanks to ort-jtag.com's site). I'm already ordering some male connectors for both my sgs4g and sgh-i717 for their jtag headers, so I can make a "k-ww" like adapter in AdamOutler's post (see the OP). They were like $1.50 each, and $4 shipping. It just means less soldering on the board itself so the phone lasts longer and more jtag work can be done to it without the possibility of making soldering mistakes. I may end up getting an ort-jtag as well. They're about $150.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ericmpanda:
I'm on my phone so post a link to the donation. And I'll help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] E:V:A:
What do you mean?

You can dump anything you want, unless you are restricted by not having root. Just use viewmem and dump the correct addresses and/or use dd to dump the bootloader partition(s) image and/or bootloader firmware images...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If anyone tries this, please hexedit the file to make sure you got it.

Other soldering stuff

The Hakko FX888 is a nice iron. I've got one for home use. At the office I've got a Metcal :good: but $$. I've seen guys use a bent wire (paper clip) wrapped around the soldering iron's tip to get a really fine tip.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
The funny thing, just after I get the FX-888, it was discontinued. Now you are supposed to get the FX-888D. :sigh:

Whatever. I also got a T18-BL tip (0.2mm tip), a flux pen, 3 colors of 30awg wire (red, white, and blue... of course ;) ), some desoldering wick (which I didn't realize that I already had some, so now I have two different thicknesses), and some thinner multicore solder (0.25).

I should be totally set for future projects.

----------------------------------------

Moving forward and back on topic, I lifted the two circle pads for tx and rx like a true n00b, but thats ok as I previously bought one of these female receptacles from digikey which fit perfectly on the jtag header. I got the new iron tip after I lifted the pads, or I'm sure I wouldn't have done that with the new tip.

It took me some time to get used to the new tip, so I also destroyed my header receptacle. So I'll order a few more from digikey and try again. I may end up soldering directly to the jtag header because I also noticed that the 30awg wire is very brittle at the solder joint. Could be that they are crappy radio shack wire... idk. So next time, I'll also glue the wires in a spot on the board so that if the wires are moved the tension won't be on the solder joint, but instead further down the wire.

I'll post some pictures after I get that done and update the OP with more information.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stuck on hold:
Hot glue can be your friend for such things. Sticks just well enough to help, but it's removable.

I've been doing this 'pro' for 15 years (the first 5 I don't count) and I still lift thin traces. It happens less with practice and experience.

Keep the tip clean and tinned.

No-clean liquid flux is a big help.

I don't know how much experience you have and I don't want to be 'That Guy'. :screwy: May be too late? Anyway, if you run into problems or have questions, here, pm or ??

I don't know Android, but I know this, so for a change maybe I can help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I've been working with embedded linux for about the last 5 years. I've been working with linux on servers and desktops for about 12 years. I used to build effect pedals and tube amps when I was younger, and big old solder balls and, I'm sure, other nasty soldering no-no's. At my old job I used our metcal in the engineering lab a few times to fix embedded devices and do minor repairs, but I've never had to mess with stuff as small as this little header or small resistors, like the little 408s on this board.

I really just need to grab some old(er) devices and start desoldering and resoldering parts to get the hang of it. I'm sure it would be easier to use flux, paste, and a heatgun/rework station on some of these smaller parts.

Just need to gain experience.

Beyond that, its the destination, not the journey... in this case. To get to the point where we can do something useful with the internal uart/jtag.

I've put off any more work until I can order the new header receptacles and try that route again. If that doesn't work, I'll just solder to the header on the board. Little harder, but this phone is just a dev phone to me anymore.

When I can use the internal uart, I'll be able to use gdb/kgdb to debug the kernel and use jtag when I can afford to get the ort-jtag, which will help with debugging the bringup of the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stuck on hold:
Cool. You already know the basics so I wont go there.

At the office I've got a hot air tool and a preheater. Both are cheap Aoyue knock offs, but they work well enough to remove QFNs and BGAs. After practise they can be used to put em back on :sly:

If you can still get 60/40 lead solder instead of the no lead, use it. Way easier for prototyping. You probably wont grow an extra arm, but it is kinda useful. :screwy:

however, the only thing that makes me switch to another keyboard, is that it does not automatically select the predicted word by pressing the space bar. you have to tap on the corrected predicted word to inset, otherwise it will insert exactly what you typed (even if misspelled)
