CAn you say how is the battery life??...is it really 2500 mah or some fake??

And how is the camera? Is it really 8mp or 5mp one?
[Member-Found Deals] wslimk:
the battery is soso, some times it can last one and half day, but you must charge it every day, when i play games or watch video from youtube, cant last one day, maybe 7-8 hours.

the camera is good as geekbuying shows, it is clear and sensitive.

Just wondering has anyone tried this phone in North America? It says it supports WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz so technically 3G should work in North America. Just want to confirm before ordering.
[Member-Found Deals] Manan79:
At&t 3g should work...but tmobile 3g wont
[Member-Found Deals] 5318008:
Probably depends on whether it's used in an area T-Mobile has refarmed. They have 3G on 1900 in many metro areas now.

Mini-Review from an AT&T user in the US:

I bought one of these for my wife (I figured it was a good trade --- Just kidding.) I don't feel like committing to AT&T for another 2 years.

I bought it from Geekbuying.com. It arrived in only a few days.

It seemed to have the best specs, and the correct frequencies for AT&T in the US. For these types of phones, the dual core MTK6577 SoC is actually not a bad chip.

I can confirm that it does report an "H" connection (HSDPA) almost everyplace an AT&T signal is available.

My Acer Iconia Smart (HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100 non-US version) Rarely connects as 3G since it does not have 850 HSDPA.

She only uses the 1 SIM. I have a T-Mobile SIM/Account I use for testing, but since it is her phone, I have not tested it on T-Mobile. T-Mobile 3G may actually work, at least in some areas, since as part of the failed takeover of T-Mobile by AT&T, they have a 7 year frequency-sharing agreement. With Quad Band GSM/GPRS, Calls, and 2G data will work fine on T-Mobile.

Performance is also good. Switching Apps, scrolling on the browser, returning to home screen all happen without any irritating delays.

It is a very clean and stable version of Android 4.1.1. Google Play is present, but see below for a problem. Force closes are rare to never.

The screen is beautiful for a Chinese phone. Overall the phone also looks very nice for the price (I bought her the white one.)

Call quality, Mobile signal, and WiFi are also all excellent. -- No compromise as compared with a name-brand phone.

Battery life is also good. Runs fine for a whole day, and with some effort to do battery management, (WiFi on only when needed, BT off, Conservative Brightness and Screen time-out settings) it will go a second day if she forgets to charge it.

But I do have some complaints:

The back, and the way it attaches to the phone is very cheap. I am not sure how many times you can take the back off without it breaking.

It's not bad to hold and use, but I'm pretty sure one good drop will kill it. Of course, 1 drop can kill even a name-brand phone.

It seems to only have one microphone. Most newer "real" phones have 2 or even 3 mics for noise cancelling or for use in different orientations (like using Voice search, or using it in speaker phone mode). This would only be a problem in noisy environments.

Edit: I had previously written something about filesystem corruption. That gave an incorrect perception of a minor problem.

My wife had a problem installing a paid app from Google Play. I believe I could fix the problem, but that would require a factory reset or user data wipe, or rooting. The problem seems limited to the installation of that one app. Other apps install fine.

[Member-Found Deals] brotherman38:
This phone will not work on T-Mobile it only has 3G 850/2100 like all the other China mtk6577 devices do not buy if you're expecting it to work on T-Mobile 3G! The specs are false saying it supports 3G bands 850/1900/2100!
[Member-Found Deals] nibras_reeza:
That's what I'd say too. The specs are good and price is ok for the specs but not exactly a deal.

Some of these phones are great. I just got a quad core /1.5gig with ips HD screen 5". Full 3g/hsdpa +. With adp B.T. for £170!

Beware some of them have a problem, if you do factory wipe YOUR IMEI numbers get wiped. I've an otherwise grt one I got of Amazon rise happened to. Any help pm me please!

After clean wipe/cache,data, dalvic+format /system I instaled slimbean 2.9 (3 times till it fixed all partitions). everything works great. I haven't flashed semaphore I used stock semaphore. I did some changes on appearence.

1) the lockscreen appears only if i use the slide option (didn't happened with the cm10)

2) some games such as zombiewood, tiny-legends-crazy appear problems with the touch interface that keeps on stucked to some diraction.

3) Also the signal strenght appears to be worst than the one one cm10 (fishears version).

4) my sdcard micro 32gb is corrupetd. it worked great on windows were I transfered music from it.

I'm living in GREECE under cosmote and I would like to know a good choise for that country.

By the way this rom feels and looks like the best from cm10, the nexus ports j300R (something) and darkyrom

[General Questions and Answers] sul1:
Hi everybody,

and sorry if this question is not in the good forum.

I'm a researcher in psychology just starting my PhD this year. As you might know, apps and games are getting more and more popular to gather data in this field. During my PhD, I'd like to build a simple game for Android tablets to study cooperation between people.

The thing is, I can't spend three years building this game. That's why before I start reading the doc seriously, I'd appreciate if you could tell me how long it would take to code this kind of game:

- the game is a deer hunt game, two players collaborate to kill a deer and then share it

- each player has a tablet in its hands and plays next to the other player, the tablets communicate by bluetooth

- Player 1 avatar is on the left of the screen, player 2 avatar on the right of the screen

- in the middle of the screen, a deer is moving up and down

- players shoot arrows at the deer, once the deer gets shot say three times it dies

- players then have to share the meat of the deer, one of the two players indicate on its screen how much of it he wants to give to the other player

So for someone working full-time on it, with no prior knowledge of java but knowing other languages (C, python, php...), how long do you think it would take to code it (a bracket of several weeks is ok)?

I think there would be 4 big areas to work on:

- the events as described above

- the communication between the two tablets

- the graphics (they can be very minimalist)

- how to save the data

Also, is it possible to use some existing libraries or code pieces to build this game, or do I have to start from zero? For example, shoot'em all games are very common, maybe there is some code for throwing arrows that I could reuse?

Thanks for your answers!

[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Hello all,

I've got an unbranded international (taiwan) HOX.

Today I was notified that I got an update availabe for my device - finally JB!

So I let it download and install, but when it turns off to install (in CWM) it automatically I've got an error that says

"E: unknown volume for path [file path]"
"E: Can't mount [file path]"
"Installation aborted."

So I tried to install the file from the zip manually (in CWM) but I got these errors:

"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted."

Also tried to put it in another folder and install manually, but no luck, and even re-download it. (Delete, let it download the update again and install).

Another friend who's got the same phone as mine (we bought it at the same store) did get to install the update successfully.

Any thoughts? I'll go ahead and say that my phone has CWM and is rooted. my friend's phone is clean in that matter, no modifications.
[HTC One X] chaun1308:
You need to go back to stock in everything to get that update ... It needs stock recovery and locked bootloader ...
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Could you please refer me to a guide that will help me do that?

and from my understanding, If I'll go back to stock, and update, I'll have to unlock the bootloader again. Last time I did that I had to delete everything on my phone (I guess this will happen when I revert the root and bootloader unlocking too), so got any good way to backup all the app data and everything I need?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] chaun1308:
Correction . You will have to relock the bootloader again . And since you've rootedd your phone , use Titanium Backup or MyBackup .

This video will guide you to complete stock .

[YOUTUBE]SZuAjz4PIjU&feature=channel&list=UL[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
Relocking bootloader is not necessary for OTA updates, but you need stock recovery.

You have to find a stock recovery and then flash it via Fastboot.

Tutorials over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
[HTC One X] Vcek:
Agree with webpatrick

you only need stock recovery to install OTA updates, just find your original rom(or extract from ruu) and flash it in bootloader fastboot flash recovery path_to_recovery_signed.img

not sure if it requires locking the bootloader or not, after that you can reinstall CWM the way you did before and make a backup.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There are 2 options

1:

Flash the non-rooted stock rom with stock boot.img and stock recovery. Bootloader can stay UNLOCKED.

2:

Flash the right RUU, only LOCKING the bootloader is needed. The ruu will flash the stock recovery and boot.img.

Just to be clear ;)

[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Need some clearing up here:

1. Can my phone stay rooted? if not - how do I remove SuperSU? tried to remove it from ES by removing the SU file and the app from system/app but that didn't work. - EDIT: Managed to remove root from my device using HTC Quick Root, though it says I need to install secure boot.img to entirely remove root.

2. I tried to flash a recovery file I found in a guide, but the recovery doesn't really work...when I try to access the recovery I got the error screen (the one with the red triangle and exclamation mark), so can someone refer me to a working recovery? attached my software information.

3. Do I need to relock my bootloader or not?

Thanks alot guys, I'm pretty much of a newbie in this whole business :)
[HTC One X] zainalabididn.syed:
Okay let me lay it down for you.. Pretty simple.. This process doesn't need you to relock the bootloader. (Even if you had to using the other process you would be adding a couple of minutes more in unlocking bootloader)

method1:

1- First things first get your RUU depending upon the version you are at. I haven't had a look at your picture. but just make sure that your region is correct and that the version you possess is either the same version or higher.

2- You need to flash the recovery as that is what will update the recovery and the ROM. so as mentioned above you can just go into fastboot and then flash recovery using the RUU.

method 2:

just relock te bootloader by going into fastboot and typing "fastboot oem lock".

Once that is done you can just run RUU and it will update everything for you. Once complete just unlock bootloader and then flash CWM.. thats it
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
now I've got a few problems with that:

first of all, my version is 2.18 and there is no RUU for that version for my HTC (which is TWM-TW) yet. and I don't wanna go back to stock ROM, it is the one I have. I just want to set my phone straight so it can get the OTA JB update.

The problem I think I've got now is that my recovery is malfunctioning. I think I don't have the right recovery, since when I try to go into recovery mode I get the red triangle and exclamation mark.

When I tried to install the update, it downloaded it, went into recovery, started doing the process (the green bar was progressing) and then out of the blue - error screen (red triangle and exclamation mark)...

Any ideas?
[HTC One X] jeyml:
I always have this problem when i try to update even if i go back to the stock recovery.The problem is that you installed something that modified you'r system (in my case i've installed using CWM the Google Now and some other stuff on it) and now the phone can't update because something is "messed up" in the system.You now have to restore and old backup in CWM,preferably one that doesn't have any mods in it.The recovery is good,otherwise it wouldn't work at all.
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Well, I rooted my phone and installed CWM. so I did the unroot (as far as I know) and got the stock recovery, so what else could it be? :S
[HTC One X] jeyml:
No,you didn't understand,this is not about the stock recovery.This is about the fact that you probably installed something (using CWM) that rewrited some files in the /system or other folders that this update depend on.Because those folders are modified the update doesn't recognize those apps and can't continue.That is what i am saying.Install the CWM again,search for any nandroid backups that you have on it and install the oldest one.I usualy make a nandroid backup everytime i update my phone because until the next update i keep installing stuff that messes up my ROM and in cases like yours i just apply the backup i've taken and voila,the update works.Also there is one app that messes up you'r system,it is called BusyBox,and if you install that app and want to make an update,the update will fail (red triangle) because of that app.

If you don't have any nandroid backups the only solution is to install the RUU.
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Thanks for making it all clear :) I'll check if I've got a backup from when I formatted my phone (does root affect this process?)

And from what I understand, I can only install RUU that is the same as my phone's version or higher. right now I got 2.18, the TWM-TW version of the phone. know by any chance if there is an RUU for it?
[HTC One X] jeyml:
The root should not affect the backup/restore proces as far as i know.Yes,the RUU must be the same as phone version or higher.Honestly i don't know any RUU for that,try searching for the new JB RUU.

EDIT:

Check you'r CID and download one of the stock nandroid backups here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Thanks for the nandroid, It will be my last resort if restoring a clean image won't help :)

and about the root - I meant if it's supposed to interfere with the update.

Thanks.
[HTC One X] zainalabididn.syed:
So let me get this straight. You don't have the RUU for your version at all?? and what recovery is installed right now???
[HTC One X] jeyml:
No problem,if there are any other problems just ask.
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
@zainalabididn - I made a recovery image when i first rooted the phone (not when I first got it), but it still won't let me update over it - maybe because of the root. the recovery I'm using right now is CWM 5.8.4

@jeyml - I tried to install the nandroid in the link you gave me, but it wouldn't let me flash the hboot on my device, so after flashing the boot and nandroid it just went into loops of trying to start up, getting stuck and rebooting. got any idea why that happens? (notice: I don't have S-off, if that's what causing the problem)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
I am just making sure i understand things right.

Every device with wifi and android 4.2 will support miracast correct?

So once 4.2 drops we will be able to run miracast from our gnex phones correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m-p{3}:
I think it will. The Galaxy Nexus does support Wi-Fi Direct which is necessary for Miracast but we'll only know when the OTA update is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
what does OTA have to do with it.

Once AOSP 4.2 drops we will have all sorts of roms to test with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

I am bumping this since AOSP has dropped.

Can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
So i am running 4.2 now. I do not think this is working as everyone was hoping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Are there even any Miracast hardware (hdmi dongles or something) available to the consumer that support Miracast? I dont know of any, yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
Are you revering to a product like the PTV3000?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Kind of.. That does say it's Miracast. I saw on G+ where Phil from AC was going to do a review on it, but he said not to buy it yet. And these Amazon reviews agree that it's a pass. The price point is right for sure. Too bad.

http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-PTV30...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Any Miracast boxes/dongles that actually functions correctly I guess would have been a better question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
I have one in hand.

It does WiDi and miracast

You flip between which you want.

I cant get the win 8 tablet to connect to the widi and none of my android 4.2 devices have the miracast functional :/

Some of its the devices fault some not.

They are saying they will update the firmware to support win 8 by the end of the year or something. not sure when android miracast stuff will be working.

*EDIT*

this amazon review

"This device says it will work with Miracast, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and an Asus Nexus 7"

this isnt the fault of the PTV3000

even with android 4.2 it isnt enabled yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
So back to the main question, does gnex with 4.2 have miracast function?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Oh well damn you know better than any of us, you must have started this thread before getting 4.2 or the ptv?. Anyways. Disappointing 4.2 Miracast feature doesn't work on the only box available with Miracast (to my knowledge).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustusIV:
Yes i did

I kinda feel like google took us for a ride on this one :(

http://phandroid.com/2012/11/19/psa-nexus-7-and-nexus-10-do-not-support-miracast-wireless-display/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I know that feel. They say allot of stuff they think we want to hear, maybe they PLAN on actually doing what they say, maybe they make it up 10 minutes before announcing it. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Android Update Alliance? Sure. Right. I'll hold by breathe for that one. Android@home? The lightbulbs controlled by your phone.. I'm sure Google will be able to complete this task before seven companies on kick starter do right? That's pretty much every damn announcement from last years keynote, all just a big show that they never made good on, and never even mentioned again. Did they even release the accessory developers kit they were talking about that year? I never read anything else about it.

Oh well. Guess I'm sticking to DLNA and AirPlay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m-p{3}:
Got the Android 4.2 factory image on my Galaxy Nexus (yakju JOP40C) and there's no Miracast option available.

if you familiar with handling custom ROM, this ROM enabling miracast in GN on 4.2.2.

The very reason I got the Note II was the problems you listed with the S3 and trust me the Note II has none of those issues. It's better than the S3 in every way imo, couldn't be happier :D The S3's ram problems was really driving me crazy but now I have almost always 1gb ram free, no wifi problems and brilliant battery life. If you enjoy Samsung devices this is probably their best one so far;)
