Damn sorry to hear that but doing my own google research what you explained seems to all be true, not just your device. For getting warm i can understand, getting hot, there's no excuse for any company to allow this unless of course just making too many production shortcuts. Gaming is a big issue for me too since i do a lot on my iphone 4 and was planning on even doing more on this HOX+ with better processor and screen. If gaming is crap and the phone feels like a hot potato after 20min of gaming, ATT will see a very fast return on this device! Then idk what the hell to get, not impressed with the iphone 5 and Nexus with 8 or 16gb of storage is pretty sub-par, again cutting corners...

What specific games have sever fps issues?

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

How about the at&t version of the Optimus G? I'm actually between that and HOX+.
[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Was actually thinking Opt G hands down but bro read some hands on reviews of it! Plus it's wide as hell, at least HTC did it right with the Verizon HTC DNA coming out (butterfly J Japan version) as the 5" is taller device, not wider. Could not stand a wide tablet in my pocket all day and the build quality sounds worse than the Galaxy S3 and the camera is very sub-par quality. Personally would never purchase an LG phone in this day and age. Crap build quality, crap internals, never see carrier updates. Not worth it for me at least so not even an option.

Straight from PCmag review on Optimus G for ATT and Sprint:

One big problem: I did most of my testing with the screen brightness set to maximum. I noticed it dip considerably after about 10 or 15 minutes of benchmarking. When I checked on it in the phone's Settings, I saw the brightness level had dropped down to 66 percent. I tried to turn it back up, and got the message, "Unable to brighten more due to high temperature. Try again later." This happened on multiple occasions. Especially when using processor-intensive applications like games, the top half of the phone became increasingly warm. LG claims it has not encountered this problem, but this device, along with two test units on Sprint all showed the same behavior in our tests.

So not only does it overheat but also starts turning features off to compensate for the heat now restricting what you can do on the device. So if you're happy playing a game for 15min, stop for 15min, repeat then no prob, lol! Can't understand these companys pushing out phones that can't even play a game more than 30min without blowing up in heat????? Really don't want the iphone 5 but WTF with all these other NEWER devices coming out and their overheating issues???

It also comes shipped with Ice Cream Sandwich, not even Jellybean 4.1. They say in the coming months it SHOULD come out with an update to Jellybean 4.1 and by then everyone will already be on Jellybean 4.2 or higher, lol! Prime example on how you will get the worst carrier updates if any for the Optimus G device, epic fail on too many fronts for a new device and what a waste of that nice S4 Pro processor...
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
Have mine just some day, so nothing to say about battery... according to some tests it should be okay, maybe good to very good :)

Did a lot of copy jobs etc and my device is not getting any hot... a little warm, but not too much in any way...

Sound quality is very good, nothing to complain :good:

I like it very much, just waiting for Root ;) only thing bothers me a bit is the lack of mass storage mode... everything else is superior to my Sony Xperia S!
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
That's one thing that slightly turns me off with the Optimus G. It would make one-handed operation that much more difficult.

Without mass storage mode, you can't transfer files to and from your pc?
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
Sure you can, in MTP mode (the same like on most other newer Android devices).
[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Here's the thread on it. Sounds like you need to use the HTC Sync Manager on your pc for file transfers as this method recognizes your device as a media device, not a storage device from my understanding. Still don't have the phone yet waiting on lagging ATT to install all their crapware before it comes out.

[HTC One X+] jotha:
This is not true. All phones/tablets are recognized as MTP-Devices in all Android-Versions from JellyBean on. This means you don't have a normal windows-drive with a drive letter but rather an equivalent to a connected mp3-player or media device. Still you can copy all files to phone (and back) in windows explorer.
[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Oh ok, makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up
[HTC One X+] ajftl:
Have none of those problems. HTC one x+ rules.
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
Why would it bother you then? Slower transfer speeds?
[HTC One X+] Dangerously:
I too have no problems other than LTE not enabling. I'm on Rogers and LTE is supposed to be in my area. The APN is set for LTE and data is working but only H and 3G show.

For the over heating, it is just like the iPad 3rd gen or any other high end tablet. Charging while playing a graphically intense game will make the device uncomfortably hot. If you are charging any device including the One X+, it is best to leave it alone until fully charged. Now if nothing is running on the device while charging and it gets uncomfortably hot, you may have an issue. Apple says 37-40c is within iPad and iPhone 5 specs, not sure what HTC's max temp specs are for One x/x+. At 40c, another 10c and you are half way to boiling point so I hope HTC's rating is no higher than 30c! :P
[HTC One X+] RokkaMan:
I ended up going with the Note 2 as it was only £30 more and I really missed my S3. Very hard to get used to the size and I do miss the industrial design of the one x but the sound quality and performance are in a completely different league.
[HTC One X+] RokkaMan:
I have the 3rd gen ipad and I can tell you that the one x got significantly hotter than the ipad, even with it charging and the brightness up to full. The back of the ipad got warm; with the one x+ the whole phone got *hot*.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Performance sucks on the note II what are you on about? The HOX+ destroys it.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Why compare a phone to tablet? Is that fair? Tablets have a much bigger surface area for heat dissipation.
[HTC One X+] jazee:
Been iOS jailbreaker for years and finally decided One X+ was worth jumping ship, at least on paper. Glad I'm not a gamer. Just needed a bigger screen and more flexibility without having to wait for jailbreaks every time and iOS update came out. But realize I may be in the same boat having to wait for custom ROMS if I don't want to wait for HTC updates. Sigh.

Mail client

Got mine yesterday, and I was pretty happy with it too - until now, that I found out that it's almost useless for me half of the time (work): Because Sense mail client does not support certificates?? wtf... standard android feature! So no exchange connection for me - I do not believe it... :rolleyes: So I will have to wait for first custom ROM... Really hope it won't take too long.

Besides that the phone is incredible - still will get rid of Sense launcher - golauncher is much more adjustable.

I`am using Avast, been using it for years on my computers and they seem to do the job well. Using it for a while now on android and it is light on the system and it works well i suppose and it has a lot of options you can set. Installable from Play Store.

just curious, do we really need to put AV on Note2 ? considering avast or kaspersky from googleplay, but i'm still thinking that its not my must have app.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strumcat:
Virii aren't a problem on Android yet, but Avast is really useful for its other features... firewall, anti-theft, permissions snooper, etc. You could use DroidWall, Cerberus, Permission Explorer instead, though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarionCast:
Firewall. You can only activate it if your phone is rooted.

Regarding the "No AV" comments, this is true if you don't sideload apps (i.e., only download apps from the Play Store). Otherwise, AV is a good idea.

But yeah, no replacement for user vigilance and care. Common sense! (No longer common nowadays, unfortunately...)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd2000:
I use Kaspersky paid version on all my devices.

It has found 2 or 3 malwares from stok packages in Play Store.

So, I dont recomend anyone who download even from appstores to not have a AV check.

I think this is even more important regaring having root available.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Google has been scanning apps in the Play Store since February this year using a system called Bouncer, and this is going to be at least as effective as 3rd party malware protection. So, as MarionCast says, there's not a great deal of point worrying about this if you generally only use Play - I'd probably also extend this to the Amazon AppStore too, as Amazon do rigorously scan for malware too.

With 4.2, it is expected that Google will extend this protection to apps installed from external sources using an on-board scanner.

Personally, I think that most Android "anti-virus" software (really this should be anti-malware) is no substitute for being aware of what you are installing and the permissions it is asking for.

Regards,

Dave

It's very professional and the free version will do just fine.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron2k_1:
I don't use any on my phone. PCs it is a most and I use what is called "Layering" security procedures:

1. Install Microsoft Sec Essentials

2. Use Mozila, most viruses attack IE

3. Install ScriptFilters, AdBlockers, PopUp Blockers addin for Mozilla

4. disable Java and Flash and only enable it when needed and trusted

5. Keep Anti virus, flash and Java up to date. You should really uninstall Java if you don't need it.

6. Use a restricted account. I never, EVER, not even for two minutes use an Admin account unless I'm installing a trusted software

7. Never use pirated software

8. Never open emails from people/entities you don't know or you never interacted with. The other day I got an email from Match.com (WTF! I've never been to that site), so I automatically class it as SPAM

9. Don't go to links you are fully aware of.

10. Clean %temp% and hard drive of temp files, clear browser history regularly

11. Scan computer in SAFE mode at least once per month

Few of the above apply to mobile usage. So, so far I don't see much need for an Antivirus app on my phone, which in the end will just make my phone slightly slower an have less battery life... Just MO

[Captivate General] rdugar:
Not getting a cell phone signal at all on my Captivate. very rarely I get it and it stays on until I reboot for some reason, or sometimes goes off on its own. No problem with wi-fi or anything else.

Have had Gingerbread 2.3.5 - KK4 (official) for a long time, and did not have this problem. Here is what I did:

Installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Captivate that had the stock Gingerbread KK4. Also installed the gapps-ics package from 29 April 2012

I did this after rooting, and installing clockworkmod.

Even updated it to Cyanogenmod 9.1, but have the same issues.

More detail on it:

- The cellular radio shows no signal, but Wifi is on fine.

- When I press the power button, I see the power off and reboot options, including one that says "Airplane Mode is ON", although it clearly isn't since Wifi is working

- A couple of times, I rebooted into recovery, and did a "repair permissions" and rebooted, and it got a signal, but does not happen always

- Once the signal is on, it stays on for the whole day, but goes off again after a reboot

- Turning Airplane mode on and off does not help

Is this a modem issue, that seems to be a popular problem. It's almost as if there is a software bug that fools the phone into switching off wireless radio

Please help me fix it, or share successful fixes
[Captivate General] articwolf:
I had same problem when I went to helly bean then back to remics-jb I flashed back to stock then back up to what I wanted it fixed the problem so I think its the modem.

How do you flash your rom?

Im a little bit afraid to bricked again my cappy.
[Captivate General] up_on1:
KOROCK is right

So were you able to fix? I had a similar problem as well; I made the mistake of putting cm9.1 on and it bricked because I followed the instructions that popped up when I thought I had flashed it correctly. I tried everything; this is my daily driver so I had no choice but to find a fix, and find it fast as my clients were unable to get a hold of me for a few hours.... Anyways, got a little off track; but did you fix?
[Captivate General] rdugar:
Not fixed yet. Wheredo I get the stock rom.?
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
A little search/reading goes a long way.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300843

KK4 is what you'll want to go back to stock but I highly suggest you read this before you do anything http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

Also, before returning to stock, you could try flashing a different modem.
[Captivate General] eksasol:
Check to see if your baseband is still there. If it said "Unknown", you need to restore it. CM9 is supposed to have the modem.bin file included though. Check to see if the /radio folder have modem.bin in it, if it does, and the baseband still say Uknown, then manually delete the modem.bin, do a wipe and reflash a CM rom that have modem.bin included.

If Baseband is still there and still no signal, then check to see if IMEI is corrupted or lost (if its null or doesn't match the back of the phone). You can either copy over the efs backup folder if you have one and "fix permission" in CWM. If not, then you need to ODIN the phone to stock to fix it.

I heard you can pull battery and then attempt to get into download mode from there from a thread long ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptonKal-El:
Few days ago I just started installing ROMs for the first time on my rooted AT&T S3. Starting with CM10, then JellyBam, and so forth testing/trying out one at a time. I was clearing dalvik and wiping cache before and after installing each ROM. Each ROM worked fine until I finally reached the fourth or fifth ROM called Foxhound and that's when my phone when to crap. I went through the install and after it rebooted my screen went blank and never came back on. Unable to get into CWM or Download Mode, I did battery pull and also plugged via USB into my PC it still won't boot. I read that the USB jig works on the Galaxy S3, already ordered and waiting for it to come in. If that doesn't work then I'm gonna have to send it in for JTAG repair. I already read off another site that someone encountered the same issue and the USB jig didn't work (this is after I already ordered it) so I'm crossing my fingers.

And this is all because of Samsung Allshare Play isn't compatible with CM10 because it works off touchwiz. So I was looking for a touchwiz based ROM and heard about Foxhound. Once I get my phone back up I'm going to try Jedi Invasion ROM as I heard some good reviews.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wilcox12:
Foxhound is for the i9300 as stated above so JTAG is probably your only option! In the future double check to make sure the ROM you are flashing is for your device!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
Lmao I think I might understand. Sometimes even though the screen is black you can still do the button combo for download mode and it'll actually go into it even though you can't see that it went into download mode. Then plug in usb and hopefully Odin will recognize that you're in download mode and you'll be able to flash stock rom lol

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

I received the USB Jig and it did not work. Will be sending it in for JTAG repair in a few days. I have also been thinking about taking the phone back to the AT&T store and give them a bs story about it just stop working all of a sudden and get it replaced since I'm still under the 1yr warranty. But then again I hate refurbished replacements so I'll might as well send it in for repair.............???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wilcox12:
Search around on here for warranty replacements. I've read a few threads where people have hard bricked and returned to AT&T for warranty replacements. One thing to keep in mind tho, if they were to look into and see that it was because you were modifying your device, after a few weeks you would have a fat 600$ charge on your bill.. :mad: I'm not saying its out of the question. Just read a lot and see what other peoples results were first!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Michael503:
Yeah, not to make the OP feel bad ( I feel your pain, really) but this should be a warning to all new flashers (myself included).

The International uses a quad core processor, and the AT&T uses a dual core. Not even close to being the same hardware and flashing the wrong rom is an invitation for disaster. This is not the first instance of this I have read either.

I know there is a tendency to say peeps need to watch what they're doing, but a

big warning label

would be nice, since the S3 comes in 2 hardware flavors.

I hope you get this worked out with a jig. I have read you can rig one up yourself if you're handy, but I have not seen the instructions to do so.

If you can get back in, I can personally verify that this rom flashes back to stock unrooted. Be sure to clear your cache too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
a big warning label (bigger than what they already post) is not necessary, nor is it the devs responsibility to baby-proof everything. if you find yourself hunting around the internet on 12 different sites, looking for rooting guides and roms for the S3, you're wrong. stick to one place, like xda. know your model number, make sure you're in the right forum, read over the kernel/rom page to ensure you're flashing the files meant for

your

device.

a "big warning label" would only be encouraging the large amount of spoon-feeding that so many (noobs and lazy peeps) on this forum already expect and somebody would still flash the wrong file like an idiot.

cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Michael503:
I see you joined back in November. How'd you get so wise so fast?

No, I agree that it not the devs responsibility to make sure no one makes a mistake, still, for a phone that comes with 2 different mainboards, it might be a courtesy, just in case the user has misplaced one of the half dozen or so tabs he/she has open in their browser after power surfing for an hour. The OP made a mistake. It happens. Calling him (or me) an idiot or lazy, is neither helpful, or polite.

cheers right back atcha!
