[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I'm not sure why you think this is going to sway people one way or another.

The features you're mentioning are completely user biased. Camera, blue tooth "hit or miss" functionality, signal strength, rom speed, you name it. Everything you wrote about is experienced differently on each device. Would you believe me If I told you I'm running a touchwiz rom faster than any aosp rom I've tried? I think I am, but writing a review about it doesn't contribute anything to the spirit of this website. People need to try different roms based on features they want and experience how it runs on their device.

This thread already does a good job explaining the differences between touchwiz and aosp with absolutely no bias. If you noticed in the write up, he never mentioned once about aosp being every bit as good as touchwiz or better in anyway, simply the pros and cons of each. There is no point posting a separate review for something that was already well covered.

Respectfully, This is not a support site. Writing stuff like this doesn't really explain anything other than you're happy with your current rom flash and everything you expect to work does work. But I guarantee people have issues with aosp roms, including bad signal strength and random dropped connectivity. Just because it doesn't occur on your device and your signal is spectacular doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. Same goes with your other topics, it's all user experience.

Thanks for your time in writing this, but people need to read through individual rom features and choose roms for themselves. That's how people learn what they want to run, and people like aosp and touchwiz roms for completely different reasons.

I'm not trying to flame you just adding to the discussion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I think what he's trying to say, to which I agree: The closer you can get to AOSP, the better performance you'll have.

The add-ons like PA, Halo and PIE slow phones down, as are the 'stock' roms most phones come with. In theory, a manufacturer is going to provide the best modified version of Android for their device, but that's rarely the case with so much bloatware and apps worked into the framework; the fewer the options, the better Android does what it does.
[HTC Rezound] raymond36136:
Please help. So I may have messed up. I had a friend that wanted to see if the rezound would work on straight talk(walmart prepaid) and since people were saying it had gsm capabilities I figured I would flash Maister Sense and see if it would work. Well the phone did not work and now I went back to Nils business sense global. I can not recieve or make any calls. I have tried to ruu phone back to global and same. I tried to ruu back to 3.14.605.12 and still no phone calls. Data works fine but when I check the hidden menu it says wcdma and will not switch to anything other than gsm things. I have tried for 12 hours now. please somebody help or point me in a direction where i can get some help.

edit: problem solved. jumped on irc and vinylfreak said to factory reset after ruu and it worked. back up and running now

[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
was trying to flash cm10 onto my one x from this website:

pocketnow title "Jelly Bean on the HTC One X with CyanogenMod 10 (Video)"

ended up getting stuck one #8 because i assume "Shift+right click in the browser window" means do that in the android sdk program. now my one x wont be able to boot because on my pc it wont work but im now try to attempt at it with my mac. any suggestions on how i can boot it up? even it i do volume down+power button or volume up+down+power button it restarts but stops at the boot logo. your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
[HTC One X] Marc199:
Did you flash the boot.img?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Shift + Right Click is usually done in Fastboot folder (for me) then click "open command prompt here" to use fastboot commands
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
that was the next step in the guide but some im not sure how... its my first time flashing on the one x
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Can you use fastboot commands with your phone?

If so then extract the boot.img from the rom you want to use, and copy it to the fastboot folder, then right click and open command prompt in the folder and enter the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
alright thanks ill try that out but the only problem is that i cant seem connect my phone to the computer now as it cant seem to find it. i can enter fastboot mode and all that aswell as cwm. I'll prob just bring it to a cell shop nearby to get their help.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Does it show Fastboot USB on the phone screen when you connect the USB cable to the computer?
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
yes it shows up as red when it says "FASTBOOT USB". damn this 5min per post is annoying
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Sounds like everything should work, have you extracted the boot.img from the rom?

place it in the fastboot folder on your computer, then shft+ right click and open command prompt and you should be good to go from there with flashing the boot.img
[HTC One X] Chezbel:
In that state try typing fastboot devices

You should something like HTxxxxxxxxxx fastboot

If the response is blank then you may not have the correct drivers installed for your phone. There are a number of ways to get the drivers; one way is to install PDAnet http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php

You don't even have to complete the whole install, just go until the driver is installed. In any case you can uninstall PDAnet and it will leave the drivers on your system.

When fastboot is finally able to recognize your phone then you can flash the boot.img by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img

(this assumes that boot.img is the actual name of the file, it should be unless you renamed it or downloaded it from somewhere)
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
is fastboot just a folder i create with the boot.img inside of it?
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
No, fastboot is a tool within the Android SDK. You used it when you unlocked your bootloader.
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
i bought this phone off another guy who had it rooted and loaded
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
where is the fastboot folder located in android sdk manager?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?50baad8rykng2j0

Create a folder on your C: drive called fastboot and extract the .zip into the fastboot folder
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
alright ill try that out thanks
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
ended up bringing my phone to the cell shop. I know its an easy fix but cant seem to find that folder.. they said it was a 50/50 chance and will charge me $80 if they can get it to work...think it was a good idea?
[HTC One X] Marc199:
Not really. Seems the only thing your phone needed to boot was the boot.img. That would have been done in a couple minutes. As already said here: you simply need to put the android sdk on your c: drive, put the boot.img in that folder, go into bootloader and connect your device with your pc, it should say fastboot USB, open command prompt, go to the direction of your sdk folder and use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img. It should then boot.
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
Sounds like they haven't got a clue what they're doing.

Should have just done it yourself, it's really not difficult.
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
hmm okay i might just go back tmr and get it my phone back.. thanks. I'll let you know if I succeed or not
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
okay i got my phone back.. i'll attempt to follow your guide
[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:

[HTC One X] craftycarper1:

[HTC One X] LittleBigTit:
Managed to get a buddy of mine to help me out. Turns out the only thing I was messing up on was changing the directory. Thanks for trying to help out guys.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Glad you got it all sorted, this little guide was put up a couple of days ago, here, works perfectly, and sets the path for the cmd prompt directly to the folder you need, but i'm guessing you know how to do it all now.:D

same problem

I also face problem using the Chinese Pinyin input (nothing's come out when typing). This function also very important for me. I found that the HTC_IME.apk is around 4MB whereelse the HTC_IME.apk in my ARHD 7.0 is 10MB. So I think there must be something missing in the new ICS keyboard. I try to reflash and come out error "Unfortunately, HTC Sense Input has stopped". I hope this problem is solved and I am now restored to ARHD 7.0 :(

Sabsa Prime is a very great ROM with good battery lasting. :good:

Another bug is my WhatsApp sometimes doesn't notify me. Maybe something to do with the Radio. :confused:

Hey everyone, I didn't know where to post this. Theres a no-iphone rule in the General section, so I thought this would be safe. I would normally ask iOS questions on an iOS Forum, but this is something that I'm only going to get dumb answers on an iOS forum.

We're wanting to buy my 10 year old daughter an iPod Touch for Christmas. She actually wants an HD video camera, but the iPod Touch serves that purpose, plus it would be cool to let her iMessage chat, and Face Time with all her cousins, grandparents, ect. Everyone in our family uses iOS devices, except me.

I detest iOS with a passion, but I'm not going to be as bull-headed as to buy her a Galaxy Player, and force all our relatives to sign up for Google Talk accounts just to chat with her. iOS just makes more sense.

Heres my question: I want to be able to chat with her from my Android devices. It would be a frosty day in hell I would let her get a Facebook account, so Google Talk is the obvious choice. Except that apparently there isn't a Google Talk app for iOS. It looks like Google merged it into their Google+ app. But I'm certainly not setting her up with a Google+ account.

I want to do both Video Chat, and IM. I'm considering maybe just setting her up with a Skype account, and relying on that for both IM and Video. Anyone have any other good solutions?

Thanks
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Skype, or the trusty old AIM which looks a lot different now. lol
[Off-topic] boborone:
Skype. Most other cross platform apps have limitations or make you pay.

But if you set up her G+ account then set it up completely private.

For video chatting I recommend Tango.

Works with iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Windows Phone. I personally like it better than Skype.
[Off-topic] impreziv:
That was one of my thoughts. My biggest concern is that she could change her settings (unwittingly). But I suppose the App probably wouldn't let her do that.

Maybe if I set up the account, and didn't tell her the password?
[Off-topic] impreziv:
Do they allow users to search for eachother? Or do you need to know somebody's details to add them? I'm mostly worried strangers adding her, and trying to video chat with her.
[Off-topic] boborone:
Skype servers are iffy when sending messages while the person is offline. They might they might not get them. G+ always sends them.

Can anyone recommend an email client that requires you to put in your email account password each time you connect?

I want to use it specifically for my banking and nothing else/no other email accounts.

I don't really want the app to save my password, because I don't routinely password-protect my phone (too much hassle for too little benefit), and I want to know that my bank details/emails are safe if I ever lost my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
I don't know the answer to your question off the top of my head, but there are apps which will password-protect other apps (there are many, app lock, app protector, etc.).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Yeah, I did think of that, but since I'm paranoid and my phone is rooted/not password protected, I figure that anyone with a clue could get past that if they got hold of my phone. So I really want to not store the email password on the phone at all. I guess if I can't find an app then I'll just have to use the browser...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
If you're paranoid, why do you stay rooted and not password protected? You could set a pattern lock, or at least unroot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Convenience. I have several apps that require root permissions, and I flash a new ROM quite regularly.

As for the pattern/password protection on my device - I don't want to do that because it will involve several hundred inputs a week, whereas I only really intend on checking this specific email account a couple of times a week at most, so I'd really rather have to input the email password at that point.

There's nothing else sensitive on my phone that I would care about anyone getting their hands on.

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to undervolting, and I'd like some insight on safe values for my kernel.

I'm currently running:

PACman ROM (4.1.2 Jelly Bean)

A nice 1804Mhz overclock - my phone can handle this with very little overheating

A minimum clock of 368Mhz

sio scheduler

Lionheart CPU governor

Now, the problem I have is that when the phone isn't an amazing performer at battery life. Undervolting seems like the way to go to fix this (I like my overclock!), yet all of the apps I have seen don't work for some reason - I'm pretty sure the only way to edit voltage levels is to edit the vdd_levels file.

As I'm new to this, I'd definitely like some support in picking a voltage that is safe for my phone - if I have to sacrifice a little battery to avoid my CPU conking from lack of power I'm fine with that - and that provides at least a bit of battery boost.

Thanks in advance,

-Cameron

I've had it since I got my phone, couldn't be more happy with it. I've dropped it countless times and it's kept my phone nice and protected.

Then there was the incident a few weeks ago that resulted in my phone getting run over a few times. Aside from some..semi-acceptable cracks in the screen, it's held up wonderfully.

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy, inexpensive case.

10/10, would drop it in the street again
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] namaui:
I currently have this case and was considering writing up a review of it but you've pretty much nailed the important parts. This case feels like part of the phone, it doesn't have any ridiculous branding anywhere on it (as it should be), and most importantly, it does an excellent job protecting the phone.
