[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] o3xa:
Hi there,

Would really like to root my Telstra One XL - Need to know the best way to go about this, I have looked into this the other day and I'm not sure if it is possible at the moment on the current software version. many thanks

The phone is unlocked and running:

Android: v4.0.4

HTC Sense: v4.1

Software: 2.40.841.4
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
You can just unlock your bootloader through HTCDev since you are Telstra

then flash a recovery and then flash the SU stuff downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] o3xa:
Thanks for the reply so when unlocking the bootloader is there anyway to keep all the apps/setting that I have now, is there a way to back up/restore after as It says that the phone will be set back to factory default settings? :/

How would i flash a recovery and flah the SU?...

Also what would be a good rooted rom to go for?...

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Cyrus221:
Well, I've been searching for days and I haven't found which sbf will work, so I figured I'd just throw up a quick post. Does anyone know specifically which sbf I need to download? I haven't heard anyone using the .906 OR the .890 so I'm a little bit confused. I know theres a ton of these threads but nobody actually says they're on ICS currently.

If it matters:

Verizon model

Last Gummy update from Hashcode's ICS port back in Feb (could be more recent, but havent messed with it since then-ish)

Rooted (rofl obviously)

latest safestrap

Hopefully this can clear up any confusion on the topic. If I somehow missed this thread already being discussed, let me know and I'll delete this topic like the derp I probably am. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
what ota were you on before you installed the ics rom?

if you were on 890 then you would use the 890 sbf

if you were on 906 then you would use the 906 sbf

Has anyone tried buying an extended battery for Evo 3D and using the Sensation extended door?

Sensation Door+Extended battery
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Oh yikes, I didn't see this thread a few months back.

Yes, I did. Unfortunately, I didn't consider that while the EVO3D and Sensation use the same batteries, they may be oriented differently... So a double battery for the EVO 3D ends up being backwards for the Sensation.

That said, I simply soldered two Ankers together and am using it with a supposed Mugen door I got on ebay for $20 shipped. Works great.

Lazas are cheaper, and while not as good as the Ankers, well worth it for the cost, and if you're doubling up, will still be great.

The only problem I ran into was that there's a little gap between the double battery and the Mugen case it seems, so if I'm walking around, the battery might move a little and lose contact for a split second, causing the phone to shut off. I taped some folded up paper and it hasn't been a problem since.

I originally used a quarter, but it was a little thick and caused the case to bow out a little so the volume buttons are off alignment.

I just taped the two batteries together with scotch tape and soldered the + and - of the two batteries.
[HTC Sensation] der_erdling:
I am imterested, can you post a picture of how you soldered them? Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
I ended up melting an excessive amount of plastic by the battery terminals because I did it a bunch of times (thought it was a bad connection, but it was because of the gap between the batteries and the cover) and I just plain suck at soldering (it's disgusting considering how much soldering I do).

I don't have a picture of my first go at it, but it looked "great."

Basically I just bridged the + and -. I used some thin gauge solid copper wire. Fluxed and tinned the terminals / wire and dabbed it on.

I taped a quarter on there and it prevents the phone from shutting off. But it's a little too thick. It causes the cover to bow a little so the volume buttons don't line up unless I press the cover in. A dime/penny may work better, or just fold up some paper.

My original plan to "deal" with the slight gap was to fit in a powermat module. I still might. Tap it into the usb port or maybe directly onto the battery if I can (and have space) to implement a charging circuit (maybe take apart a standalone charger and use that). Qi is the future, but the proprietary powermat stuff can be had on amazon for dirt cheap (I picked up a full unit for a droid of some sort for like $5). I got sidetracked and went back to juggling batteries and now have a N4. I gotta take the mainboard out and see if I can repair the usb port anyway, so maybe I'll tinker before selling.

Again, I'm extremely embarrassed by the absolute ****job soldering

Hello guys. I have bluetooth HM1000 & connected with galaxy s3 but unable to listen songs on my bluetooth. I never face this problem on nokia device. Is galaxy does not support this function to listen songs or other sounds to my bluetooth. Even it does not stay connected when screen is off. Kindly help plz....
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:

[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
I can hear songs over bluetooth just fine :)

What problem are you facing?
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
No error. It is connected. But when i play the song then the volume comes from speaker instead of BT headset. Thats the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] Shug69:
Do you have 'media' ticked in the bluetooth settings?
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
Yes bro. I have ticked mediq settings in BT.

I've found that rom / kernel combo's make a big difference. I'm currently using wanam on Franco kernel. I've had nothing but issues with cm10/aosp/aokp roms even though their my preference.
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
You mean with Franco kernel u can play songs through BT well?
[Galaxy S III General] nicesoni_ash:
Make sure your bt device is stereo not mono. As much as I read about it, mono bt devices can't play audio in Android..
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
aaahhhh... my dear freind nicesoi(MR. ashok) Nice to have u & its long time to see you after your mega N8 cfw. Me also recently transfered from n8 to s3. I'm using your n8 delight cfw till now. Even i was looking for you that you will make s3 custom rom also as n8 was & have.

About my BT, i think its stereo not mono. Its model is Samsung HM1000
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
No its mono. I checked. Now that mean it does not support with songs.?
[Galaxy S III General] mrjoy:
which bluetooth model you have?
[Galaxy S III General] nicesoni_ash:
Thanks mate, I am glad you like it and no, it wont work if its mono.. There are few apps to do the task on google play, you may want to check your luck there although none worked for me.. Search for btmono or something like that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Yash_Ghost:
I have been using my Atrix 2 from last 4 months. There were just meager issues like network connectivity etc

Recently, I discovered that the voice output through my earphones has marginally decreased i.e. the maximum volume has decreased. I tried using other earphones also but have experienced the same thing. The speakers are doing fine. There seems to be a problem when connecting ear phones only.

Secondly, When I go to Settings/Sounds/Ringtones or any other kind of tones. I get sound from my speaker even when the earphones are plugged in . The sound output is from both speakers and earphones.

However, playing music gives me output from earphones but with less loudness(i.e. max volume)

I am pissed off because I really love listening to music. please help me. What kinda problem is this.

MY PHONE IS StILL INTO WARRANTY
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Could be a hardware-related issue. You might want to try to get a replacement, since you say that the phone is still under warranty...

I seem to have deleted the stock messages app. Any way to recover this without factory reset? I can't seem to find the .apk for it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
How did that happen? You sure you deleted it and didn't just freeze/disable it?

You could download a stock ROM as a zip and get the mms.apk from there, push it to /system/app with adb or use something like Root Explorer to do it...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightyeric:
I may have disabled it, but I can't find it in the apps list to re-enable it. It's it gone?

If you have disabled it, scroll all the way down the app list.

Hi Guys, the 4 sensitive touch keys backlights goes off after restarting the phone if we d not turn automatic brightness on but i dont want aut brightness and i want to set fixed brightness but it gets off after restart and we hav to slide the brightness bar again to make it work, so is there a solution to make the backlight of the touch keys on when auto brightness is off?

Help will be appreciated,

Thanks.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xpmode:
Set button 255 for all brightness steps.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
What u mean by that?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] R. SAINT:
Just go to setting- display- brightness- tweaks- set manually 255 for auto brightness.. :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
there is no option of "tweaks" in brightness settings.. can u post a screenshot about what u r talking?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] R. SAINT:
Sorry mate..

I flashed sense 4 Rom yesterday bt if u post screenshots of display settings / backlight settings page I ll surely tell u in which opn it ll work.. :D

Or u can install app "keyboard backlight controller" .. find in Google play... :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
Its in Settings -> Display -> Automatic backlight

Under light levels tick 'Use custom' and select 'Edit other levels'. Now you can tweak the screen auto brightness values.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
This is the one ryt? But its too messed up :p i wanna set medium brightness level..

Hit "Thanks" if I helped :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
If you want constant medium brightness set all 'screen' values to something like 50 or 60
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
Thanks bro it worked :)

Btw do i need to edit screen dim level also?

PS: Pressed thanks for all who helped :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
No, just leave it at the default value. It's the brightness just before screen timeout.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
Well, thanks again :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
I own an S3 (Galaxy Nexus before the S3) and can't decide if I want this Nexus 4 or not. I have been reading a lot of complaints about LG phones, specifically shoddy hardware. So I'm curious if anyone in here buying the N4 have actually owned an LG phone before. I've been an Apple/Samsung guy for the last 4 years so making the switch is a little unsettling after reading some feedback on LG on XDA. It's a Google OS as vanilla as it gets, and that is a good thing. However after your return policy is up it will be LG supporting this device and backing the hardware, that's what concerns me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Never owned an LG before ( except a fridge maybe?) but it's a nexus. Sometimes I even forget that it's made by LG.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
Yeah it's a Nexus, but it's not made or supported by Google. That's my concern. :) The Nexus 7 is a Nexus and that has to be one of the most shoddily made devices I've ever owned. I went through 5 before I could actually use one without the screen lifting up.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
No, and if this wasn't a Nexus, I would never buy it (someone said Optimus G?).

Because this is an LG, Google checks the device a million times and warranty is buy Google.

So I guess the only thing we need to worry about is how good does LG check devices coming from the factory. (just want to say I think HTC don't do it well.. they should sell their devices will a soldering kit to fix wifi / gps :laughing:

Anyway, I own an LG Smart TV, and its awesome! No problems at all!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FISKER_Q:
Used to have an Optimus 2x i changed out with a Galaxy Nexus after a year or so, it wasn't bad but the software support was awful, heck they haven't even done ICS for it yet, but it was atleast better than the Nexus which i got scratches on after a few months.

Sold that and changed to the SGS3 which i would've kept if it hadn't pinktinted my display, now i'm gonna get it repaired under warranty and sell that if there is nothing to the claimed issues with the Nexus 4 performance/heat conductivity.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
Google does not warranty this device and where is your evidence that Google checks the device a million times. As it is Google has sent out review samples that are getting results all over the place. That doesn't instill a lot of confidence in Googles checks.

I'm not trying to crap on LG here, but I also don't want to blindly buy a device I know nothing about just because it's a Nexus. Like I said, the Nexus 7 is a Nexus and that has horrible build quality and quality control issues. When you have problems with a Nexus 7 after your Google Play return policy you are dealing with Asus, not Google for warranty issues.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_nlb:
i had the Optimus 4X, and it is yet to be opened by LG. it has alot of security checks to make sure no one tries to abuse their licenced hardware functions.

they have the bootloader locked on the Tegra3 platform like Asus do on Prime, and no unlocking available.

If they follow their current strategy around sourcecode and proprietary code with security checks around the binaries being in place, i would stay far,far,far away from this device by LG.

It will never get any good support primarily because LG is behind it, so no Gold'LOL'Star from me for this release. It will probably fail long before it ever becomes a success.

exception is if Google agreed to keep this partnership with open sources, it might be totally differenty and LG is not using any special hardware which is closedsource NDA based. so probably based on buying a techkit from an electronics store where no licence is to be paid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
Evidences? No problem. Google checked the Galaxy Nexus and found out a serious bug at the emmc (or something like that). Then Samsung used it in the Galaxy Note (first one) and they got bricks...

And about warranty, at an Israeli forum we contact Google to ask them about warranty, and they said they are responsible for it..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MN_Bug:
Owned a G2x and it was freaking terrible. I read all of the forums where people complained about random reboots and overheating and ignored them all. About a week or 2 after I purchased it I started getting reboots and my phone would get hot too. Don't just take my word for it. Remember LG just let the phone die and never really tool responsibility for it. They wrote the G2x off.

I'm not one of those uber-geeks who demands 0 light bleed or care if I can root it right away but after my G2x experience I vowed to never buy another LG phone again. But here I am. I too am torn between my horrible experience with LG vs. my love of Nexus phones. I think in this case, I'll wait a few weeks to see how the forums sound with first adapters and go from there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
My last five phones have all been LG. I had two dumb phones; the same dumb phone, actually. I used to be really horrible with cell phones (my record is eleven phones in one year) so after that particular phone had enough abuse, I bought it again since I liked it so much.

My first smartphone was the Optimus M from Metro, followed by the Optimus V on Virgin Mobile. When I joined my mom's family plan on T-Mobile, I stuck to what I know and got the G2x (Optimus 2X).

The hardware is nice. It's solid built phone with great specs. It's actual performance, though, was lack luster. I expected a lot more from that phone and I had issues with it that I didn't have on the two low end Optimus devices I owned prior. However, rooting the phone made a HUGE difference in performance and made my phone so much better. Also, I"m sure different users have difference experiences with that phone. My mom has the same phone, but has never had a single complaint about it like I have.

I was in the whole "LG never again camp, but it was confirmed LG was making the Nexus and it was being sold for the price it's being sold for. I'm hoping that, being a Nexus, I won't experience the same problems that I did with my G2x. Despite my history with the G2x, I am more than likely DEFINITELY going to buy the Nexus 4. I will, however, wait for the early adopters to get theirs so we can have some real reviews by real people before I spend money on it, but I'm pretty sure I will own it by December.

My original plan was just to get the Galaxy Nexus to hold me over until my contract was up in July, then either check out the latest and greatest from Android or switch to Windows Phone. Since the Nexus 4 is being sold for the same price as the Galaxy Nexus, though, I'm just going to buy that, then move myself to a contract free plan in July.

So, yeah... this is going to be my sixth LG phone in a row. I've only had ONE bad experience with them and Nvidia can actually take part of the blame for that so it isn't all LG. Still, with the right ROM (currently running CM10 Paranoid Android), I do enjoy my G2x. I'm almost confident that Nexus 4 will by fine out of the box and it will definitely be a noticeable upgrade for me.

I have a optimus 4x hd and i love it. I bought it because sgs3 is way more expensive and htc 1x sucks. Build quality is great. Software needs couple tweaks but nexus phones wont have that problem.

I've had a hand full of LG dumb phones all of which were great build quality wise so I would have no reason to think there upper end smart phones would be any different. I'll have no problem buying an LG smartphone as long as it has great dev support which in this case it won't be a problem as it's a nexus device. With all that said I'm still waiting a week or two until some folks can put through it's paces and see if it lives up to the hype. That's my 2 cents.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I used to own a G2x, that was interesting to say the least... Nevertheless I am still going to get the Nexus 4 because I feel that LG has come a long way and that it will get updates straight from google rather than LG.
