Not surprising, Wifi and Bluetooth are in the 2Ghz range. FM is 100 Mhz.

Just install Tune-in Radio app and you won't have a need for a hardware FM radio
[HTC One S] cww7677:
Hi all, First time posting on forums so hope someone can help. I got a HTC One S a month or S ago and am realising that Flash Doesnt seem to be working. Have tried to find fixes on google and forums but with no luck. I found something saying that it may not be loaded on from the factory where i got it (think it may be a grey import model phone). Is there any ways to fix it. Details about phone are HTC One S 1gb, Dual Core, Android 4.0.3, Software Number 1.11.708.110, HTC SDK 4.21, HTC Extension version_403_1_GA_9. If there is anything else you need to help please let me know. Thanks so much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shizbazki:
Hi all

Question is in the subject bar, basically i have recently begun using NFC tags in and around my home, work and car.

But as i am sure youre all aware unlocking the phone to do so can be a pain especially if youre me and have to keep open a flip case to switch it on, take off the gloves (its winter here now) flick the screen in order to just use and NFC tag.

I have searched this forum, Wanams forums, google et al and have seen various mods for previous ICS versions and only one for JB being the DLJ2 firmware (which downloaded should it be ok).

Now i currently have Wanam's latest JB ROM his DLJ4 V4.2.1 running on my phone and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a DLJ4 version or if its ok to use the DLJ2 version without breaking my phone.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxypy:
You may download the DLJ4 version of NFC Screen off mod right here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33331356&postcount=263

This mod (or any other version like DLJ2) won't break your phone, only NFC may stop working.

It should work, but if it doesn't, just flash your Wanam ROM again (without wipe) to restore NFC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bogdan-xd:
My phone's battery is draining really fast with minimal usage. Take a look at these battery usage screenshots:

​

As you can see, the battery is pretty close to dying out after 11 hours with just 30 minutes of screen time. This definitely isn't right so I decided to look around. I haven't installed any suspicious apps and Android's battery usage stats are pretty unhelpful, but Better Battery Stats reveals the culprit: a gps-lock kernel wakelock.

​

While this wakelock is active, I've noticed that GPS apps don't work. None of the GPS apps show any GPS icon in the status bar and I don't seem to get any lock. The apps just fall back to the network location.

Turning the GPS or location services altogether off and on doesn't seem to help. Keeping the GPS off completely doesn't help either. A reboot does remove this wakelock... for a short while. Then it just pops up back again after a short while and doesn't clear unless I reboot.

I'm not sure where else I can look for the source and I could use some help.

I'm running stock 4.1.2 on a GSM Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r29:
Google Maps/Google Now any app that use gps is active and searching for your location.

Go the app info clear cache/data and force stop them.

Google Map is pretty the biggest drain.

post your partial wakelock as well that can help us determine what app are awake =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teezekel:
Simply go to maps setting and remove check-in and other useless option :)

This gps-lock is caused from google now and maps that continue research for your position, but it's strange and abnormal, i've googlenow actived with all option, and i do 4 hours screen on with always 3g up :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bogdan-xd:
I didn't take a screenshot of the partial wakelocks since there was nothing suspicious going on in there, but I can get one tomorrow if my battery drains again.

The biggest partial wakelocks usually come from AudioOut (if I listen to music), exchange sync, google backup, g+ sync and the like. Pretty much the same as on my Nexus 7, which doesn't have this crippling kernel wakelock.

Thanks. Suprisingly, I had location reporting turned on in Maps, though I don't remember ever turning it on.

Hope it helps, since before this started happening, I could get around 2 days of standby time with around 4 hours of screen time on a single charge.

Other than that, I don't think Google Now and the GPS lock that Maps tries to take every now and then are the culprits. I remember Maps trying to get random GPS fixes on my old Gingerbread phone with no significant effect on battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikemyersgnex:
Had the same problem - thanks!!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you - I had pretty much the same problem, and I think following this advice will take care of it for me. It was obvious from the screen captures that "something" was wrong, and searching through the log files for what had the largest percentage solved it for me (I think).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andy_96:
Solution

Simply install TopNTP from google play

and then install his gps options (choose what you prefer)

Problem for me gone after this, and also gps working faster;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] outadoc:
Hey you! I need some "technical" explanations here. I've rooted (and more recently unlocked the bootloader of) my Xperia U, and I've installed a few custom recoveries.

What I've understood is, boot.img contains the kernel that will be flashed, and recovery.img contains the recovery.

Now, why do the existing custom recoveries for the Xperia U require you flashing a custom boot.img and not a recovery.img? Why is the recovery contained in the kernel? Couldn't we flash it separately?

Could somebody explain it to me, please? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hayden18:
Why would you want to flash two separate files? Instead of just one

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Xperia phones do not have a separate recovery partition hence recovery needs to be included in the kernel.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a0rta:
I am not sure if this post is placed right. If not I hope that Moderator can move it to the right place...

I have just rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 7" (P3110 - Android 4.0.4) as I wanted to be able to use my external memory card for apps and not for music, films and photos only. I must say that I got a little bit dissapointed when I failed to get link2sd to work and started to google for som epossible solutions.

The most reasonable one I could come up with us that my tab2 have S-ON?

Is it possible to see it that's the case?

If so that it has S-ON, is there any way to make it S-OFF?

I am kind of new to Android and don't really know what to look for or if it's even possible on the p3110 to use the external memory card for apps. The interlan memory of 8gb, shared with the system, is kind of low (only 4gb left) and I can't even install apps like TomTom, various games etc on a clean system with the amout of memory I have available. :(

I have Googled and didn't find much of info regarding S-ON/OFF on the Galaxy Tab 2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
S-Off/S-On is only on HTC devices and not applicable to Samsung devices. As for using external memory for app storage rather than internal, you would need a changed kernel to swap them, or a start-up script that will switch where the two devices are mounted.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a0rta:
Ok. That explains why I couldn't find any help by googeling. :D

So one need either a kernel that swaps the mem card or a start-up script...? I will search for those options, unless you already know where to find suiteful info regarding this?

Is this also the only way to get link2sd to work with the p3110? ...maybe I am asking too much now but I recently bought my first Android device since an old phone with some 2.x version where I could move to mem card as I wanted, rooted it and really don't know where to go from here :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king200:
this seems to be exactly what you're looking for but I don't know how to actually do it. Configuring permissions is not something I know to do. Would be great if someone comes up with app to do this.

I thought I didn't like sense at all and was always using Nova Launcher, until i rooted and flashed vipers from sense 4.1 and now I think i will miss if I go pure google.

The question is for those that don't like sense and are always rooting to get stock android..would you give up your beloved sensation for the nexus 4?..

Consider the specs updates and tempting low price tag it comes with.

I searched the forum but if someone already said this please delete thread ASAP!!!
[HTC Sensation] Metalsauce:
On our Sensations, we have the option of Sense or pure AOSP, so I would stick with the Sensation just for that flexibility. Every time I try and switch to the latest CM10 or other ROMs I end up coming right back to ViperS Sense, I love how all the features just work. And the Sense contact linking is great, my only gripe is the low-res contact pictures.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
Without a second thought.

Why would I not trade a year and a half phone for a new phone that will get updates directly from Google? First of all, we don't even know if the Sensation will get JB.

And that's before specs are even considered.
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
I'm with you on this, I don't want to go back to the "pure google" experience. It feels to raw and the custom sense roms we have around are very good these days...
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
With the price being low on the Nexus 4, why not have both? That's what I'm doing :)
[HTC Sensation] Dredead:
Not even, what for? Dual boot if you want AOSP. Going back from sense is hard lol, truly

Nexus 4

I've always wanted a Nexus phone. I got my Nexus 7 tablet the first day it was offered, and I love it. So, yes. MY Sensation is going to be retired as soon as I get my hands on a Nexus 4.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Of course. Except the Sensation 4G isn't even worth half of what the Nexus 4 is worth on the market, that is, given it's still in mint condition.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Will be getting the N4 and selling the S4G on eBay.
[HTC Sensation] imr@n:
For me the upgrade doesn't make sense unless I can sell my sensation for $180 or more
[HTC Sensation] 22VIN:
Would trade it right now.

The Sensation is the c**ppiest phone I've ever owned. I had it replaced once and now it's sent again for repairs, for the 5th time.

[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
well from reading articles online and friends' experiences, LG has apparently bumped up the build quality of their phones. I havent had any personal experiences with LG devices, but the N4 does look good. the only real downside for me is lack of SD card (I carry around a lot of music files), but now that Ive switched to the unlimited data plan I stream my music a lot more through Audiogalaxy
[HTC Sensation] DonDizzurp:
benefits of sensation over the nexus 4:

1. removable battery (only an issue for very few)

2. microsd (also only an issue for a few who need more than 8-16GB)

3. SenseUI (only an issue for the noobies who prefer sense over AOSP/CM/AOKP)

nexus 4 is much better in every way as long as those 3 arent a problem for you

also, LG hardware is usually solid, its their crappy software that turns people off.

either way, all the reviews say this is a solid device. the Nexus branding will help LG make a name for themselves, the way it made HTC known in the android world, and the same way it made samsung known. its more about getting out there than it is about profits.
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
I would spend my hard earned money on a Samsung phone, won't touch an LG phone after my Vu experience.

Sgs3 and Note 2 are 2 outstanding android phones. Sorry HTC, my experience with sensation will be my final adieu to HTC.
[HTC Sensation] Euler MD:
I really wanted to get the Nexus 4, but somebody asked me how it would benefit me daily. The Nexus 4, although an amazing phone, won't really revolutionize your phone since with Cyanogenmod, the Sensation can do (almost) everything the Nexus 4 can do.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
I have already thought about buying the Nexus 4 when it somes out but I have pretty much decided I am going to wait for my contract to end (February :crying:) and I will be buying either the Note 2 or whatever new phone happens to come out between now and then that is better than the Note 2.

I am so done with HTC I can't stand looking at my sensation because I see that stupid HTC badge up in the top left corner lol. They constantly release okay specd phones, update them once if your're lucky, and then come out with a + version or a new model number of essentially the same phone they made 4 months ago. And after that phone comes out T-mobile will discontinue your phone and HTC will forget about it. Basically HTC is making these phones to last you 6 months or so, not the 2 years T-Mobile sells them for.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I prefer sense, does that make me a noobie? IMO sense is by far the best OEM skin

In answer to the OP, tbh I don't thing I'd trade the sensation for nexus 4, I'd probably just buy the nexus as an addition so I could dev on both phones, the nexus 4 I could get with 1.5 months wages :)

Though whatever my next phone is it won't be HTC unless they sort themselves out, they've really gone downhill over the last year...
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
The N4 does have NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, better camera, and better processor... which all sound like a great upgrade. I'm mostly interested in getting a phone with NFC! I've been watching ebay and CL for an Amaze, but even those are still going for more than 250...

The only thing that hurts is the size of the storage. wtf were they thinking? I guess i will not be keeping music of movies on my phone.

When my tmo contract renews in may this will be my phone
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
Trade in? No, but I am buying a 4. Fairly easy to sell, if I don't like it.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
This will not be an issue with a USB SD card adaptor or Google's cloud! Many threads on this in the xda N4 section...
[HTC Sensation] :
Imho, there is not much difference between these two. Both are great phones once rooted.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Yep I would and I will. The Sensation is the LAST HTC phone I will ever use. My HD2 was replaced 2-3 times for a broken digitizer.. REPLACED BY HTC.. It would work for a bit again, and then die again. It overheated CONSTANTLY (Fixed by HTC and then magically appeared again. The Sensation had the dust problem on EVERY one I had until I put silicone on the edges, and guess what? 4 months after having this new one the camera dies. I cannot take ANY pictures, no matter what. No idea what is wrong, but every Sensation I have had has had a different problem. Say what you want about LG but this phone looks 2x the build quality of the Sensation, not to mention a bigger screen, battery, quad core, and I won't ever have to beg for an official update again.
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
No because Lg in my country estabilished the price in 549 euro :D is a stolen.
[HTC Sensation] leviathian:
Nope, I'd keep my sensation. And get a nexus 7 for a tablet to do work, sold my old tab 7.0 plus for this phone. Eventually, I'd maybe upgrade to a one x+ when I can afford one. I just can't live without sense on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] szymko1995:
Yea, me too.

AOSP isn't good for me.

Mainly because of bad integracion of facebook contacts (I have to use People and additional facebook contacts app).

Additionaly I like Sense design, clock and functions.

Maybe I can bear sgs3's interface, but it costs some money...

I'm going to search some cheap ones (s4) or onex.
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
All you people hating on the sensation and HTC must have never used a Samsung phone. 'Nuff said.
[HTC Sensation] Kid_droid:
I just winged it and picked a nexus 7 today for the same sense reasons. So now i will be keeping my beautiful XE and going pure with this nexus 7 because its less of a loss for me.
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
No. I'm running pure AOSP on my Sensation so I've got everything the Nexus 4 has already, including the new camera from 4.2 that has photosphere.

Sense is nice, great eye candy, but I love the rawness of AOSP and also love the great speed and battery life it gives me. If you want it to look pretty, install a third party launcher like GO Launcher or Nova.
[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
I will be getting the nexus for when or around the time it comes out. I love HTC and my sensation but there is just things I can't stand anymore.

I hate the update process of non nexus phones. The reception of WiFi and regular signal suck due to the way the sensation is made. Also hate hspa+ 14 when I love in a hspa+ 42 area.

Things I love is that its speedy, the build quality is really well (besides the antennas) and the ROM selection.

I will always recommend a HTC product over a Samsung but I will recommend a nexus device first. Also everyone praising sense contact sync over what aosp has, have any of y'all tried haxsync? It syncs the timeline, high res pics, and calendar
[HTC Sensation] panzival:
Can't wait to get rid of my Sensation. I'll definitely never buy an HTC phone again. Last 3 phones have been HTC, had nothing but problems with the last 3.

Yes in a heartbeat. I can't stand sense. Battery life on CM and AOKP have never been great for me ... Currently on HNS, and even with screen as low as it can go all the time battery goes like crazy..

But that's seem like lg will sell it at that price not Google
[HTC Sensation] therealbroxy:
I will, I love my Sensation but HTC removed the option to encrypt the internal phone storage from their build which means I cannot use my phone for work. I cannot run cm or another custom rom as we run an end point manager that disables your access if you are rooted.
