It's not HTC's job to check the quality of APPs in the Play Store.

This is like saying HP should be checking software is compatible for thier PCs running Windows.

(The software developer or Microsoft should be checking in that case - not HP)

APPs should be either checked by Google (who run the Play Store and Android) or by the developer of the APP itself.

HTC are a hardware manufacturer, not an APP developer....
[HTC One X] Electronic Punk:
the public do this already.

Just be careful what you download, pick apps with many downloads and/or many high ratings.
[HTC One X] theliquid:
PLEASE NOT!

This wouldn't be a good idea ... Just think about how long it takes to put Sense 4.5 on top of Jelly Bean release. Quality checking apps by manufactures would definitely be a step in the wrong direction.

It would be better when HTC releases a plain Android (asop) version for the HOX.

What does this have to do with caring about the end user?

Nothing at all.
[HTC One X] dexteral:
Still I would argue that if apple can ensure that all apps use the hardware why can't the open handset alliance do the same in assisting google in screening apps. As to why I made the thread I recently downloaded drag racing and immediately I had a notification full of ads which I don't mind however I uninstalled it and now the ads pop up on the screen whenever I switch on WiFi.

HTC and other manufacturers including Samsung need to step up if they want better quality apps for the end user. I would like to play a gameloft game without having to add a mod , changing kernels etc

Just my opinion and yes someone commented of me being lazy .... Yes its a public holiday here so nothing better to do other than making a thread.
[HTC One X] raunaqK253:
No

Hell no!

Play Store is completely Google's thing, plus I don't want HTC fooling around with the way the Play Store works, AT ALL. Google's trying to make the Play Store a cleaner place I believe.
[HTC One X] tkolev:
Then rate the app with one star and write a comment. That way you'll help all the others that consider downloading it and hint the developer that the app needs improvement. And vice versa - look at the ratings and comments of others before installing an app. Play Store is for people that can decide for themselves if they want the app or not. Anyone wanting to live in a walled garden and put his/her trust in someone else to not allow "bad" apps (basically those that hurt that someone's interests) should go with iOS.
[HTC One X] dexteral:
Agreed. But this is something me or you would do. But a 60 yr old business man (my father) is unlikely to waste his time rating. Say the webex app by Cisco if it didn't work he will blame it on the device manufacturer not on google (cause most of them can't see the link). Brand that looses value are the open handset alliance not google. Believe it or not in developing countries most people will click install and rely the app will work flawlessly on their smartphone. If it doesn't they'll blame samsung, htc, lg, Sony - google will be for those who know !
[HTC One X] death__machine:
I would rather want HTC to focus on improving the quality of its kernels, governors, updates, etc. rather than screening apps. People should be careful about what they download. Besides screening is more of Google's job than htc's.
[HTC One X] thekillingroad:
How can you compare what Apple does with a single device, with the whole open handset alliance?

How come you can give that as an example?

HTC Hub

There's already a service app that implements your idea alongside the existance of the original google play store.

It's called HTC Hub - so there is no need to change anything.

Next time, do your homework please.
[HTC One X] zuadao:
well i dont want htc to do this. if i wanted the manufacturer to control what i can install i would be an apple user...
[HTC One X] tkolev:
If rating an app, so it can be avoided by the others is a waste of time, then I really don't have anything more to say. And if the WebEx app by Cisco is not working on a Nexus device, it's Cisco's problem. If it works on a Nexus but does not work on a Sony (like their VPN app) it's Sony's problem. When is it Google's problem? If it was working on a previous version and it's not working on the next. And even this is 50/50 because the developer might have breached rule #1: Don't fight the Framework. He might have relied on a bug in the previous version that got fixed in the next and that broke his app. Or used deprecated parts that finally got removed. So Google is almost never for those who know ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pshdo:
I have now a strange problem...

From the beginning my Xperia S worked together with my Car audio just fine.

The car audio system could read and playall audio files on my Xperia S.

Then one day, i had to use the space on my Xperia S to transfer a large file, and i just deleted my Music folder completely.

When the file was transfered, i put back music in a musicfolder on my phone.

But now my car audio can not see any music anymore...

- the only thing i can still play is the notofications folder...:silly:

What can have happened to the file-structure on my phone ??

As a solution ithought, hey maybe if i root so i can use the phone with "SD Mounter", but even that don´t give me access to the music folder on my phone...

Pleace, do any of you have any idea for a solution on this strange problem ??

BONUS INFO:

The music was first put into the phone using Android 2,3 on the phone, but was still playing using Android 4,0, but now with android 4,0 i have this problem when i put in music...

If i on the other hand put music into the notifications folder, i CAN play the music on my car audio system...?!?!?

It is really strange i think...

Can it perhaps be something related to permissions in some way ??

- i think the permissions is the same on both Notifications and my music folder...

I have alsotried to call the music folder "Musik", "musik", "Music" and "music", and i have even tried to put some music at the root of the "SD card" without any luck...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
What head unit are you using?

I can't get mine to connect [MTP] as the head unit only accepts Mass Storage Mode.

So props for getting it to recognise anything at all!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pshdo:
The head unit is a cheap Kenwood...

The problem is that it has worked fine until I removed the music folder and then put a new copy back on my phone...

THAT is what I can't figure out...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pshdo:
I could just put my music in the notifications folder, but that would be a stupid move I think...:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
That'd be most annoying.

What model is it? I tried with KDC BT52U and it didn't work, I spoke to Kenwood who said that it doesn't work with MTP, so I'm surprised you have it working! :)

Perhaps try a "repair" to the software?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wc_how:
reboot and try again?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pshdo:
The Car Radio is Kenwood KDC-BTI950RN, it was about 120€, so it is a cheap radio.

I did have it working, and actually without any thought about "HOW"...

- when i got my Xperia S i just copied the music folder from my old phone, and it played...

I have NO idea why it don´t play anymore...

- and WHY the ONLY thing i can play is files within the Notification folder...

I can try a repair, but is it a repair from SEUS you are talking about ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pshdo:
I have tried reboot many times...

But thank you for your suggestion, ALL suggestions are most welcome...:good:

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
i was reading an article about 2 years ago on how the phone interacts with the operator. so the phone connects to the tower every 3-5 seconds (not sure) and checks if you got an sms or if someone is calling you. and that is costing us a lot of battery life.

so i was wondering if there is an app that would enable us to set the time that the phone connects to the tower. so for example if i am at school or somewere i can not answer the phone it would be awsome if i could set the time that the phone checks for signal to 1minute or even more. the phone would check for signal 12-20 times less than before so i guess the battary backup should expand up to 30% (depends on the usage) with no disadvantages. it would also be wery usfull when you are sleeping :o.

i am aware that in this case if someone would be calling you, because of the delayed time of signal retreaving the oprator would assume that your phone is discharged so when the phone would connect to the tower (less than 1min) you would get a missed call. but this is no problem if i would not be able to answer anyway.

all in all has someone heard of an app that would enable this or if someone knows a way to do this i would be very happy :victory:.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myawan:
If you receive good signals then GSM doesn't drain much battery, if I don't use GPS and WIFI, my phone's battery lasts for more than four days which means GSM is not the main battery eater.

If you can't receive calls at campus then you should try aeroplane mode.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
the point was that when phone is checking if you recieved a sms or a call it drains battery. the signal strenght is not the problem. so if i cant pick up the phone when i have school or am sleeping it would be convinient if the phone would search less and conserv battery. because in airplaine mode the phone never checks for sms or if someone is calling you so this APP would check for that, just less frequently. so you would get sms and missed calls.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myawan:
The whole theory is wrong, your mobile phone doesn't check for incoming calls, its the BTS (base transceiver station) or RBS (radio base station) which contacts your mobile phone when there is an incoming call. And if the BTS gets response from your mobile, it reserves a channel for that call.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
so why is cell standby using all this battery???

Cell standby is just the time your cell radio isnt running, but is still communicating with the towers. (this is all i could find on the interaction between phone and the operator)

so if this is true the phone is comunicating with the towers and if it would comunicate less frequently we could preserve energy with no downside to it.

or not? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
when you are in airplain mode is the cell standby energy consumption 0%?

if yes this would mean that the phone is interacting with tower.

if no, i am wrong on the whole idea :silly:

but i guess it is 0% otherwise people would not use airplain mode overnight so something must be happening and by lowering the frequency of it power should be conserved and you would still get sms and missed calls.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarus_b:
@ManBearrrPig

1. That article you read is 2 years old. Technology is changing and I think the transmitters and radio chip in phones/towers must have improved a lot.

2. That article you have read maybe false one. I dont think that cell tower the phone checks every few seconds. If that would be the case how i call and connect others instantly?

Even if your theory is right I think it will require fiddling with cell baseband, radio hardware etc (which roms and apps dont mess with it).

Lets consider even if you find a app to control the polling time between tower and phone, if it crashes or something wrong happens then you will forever have a phone with no reception.... :p
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myawan:
Your mobile is constantly communicating with BTS/RBS so that your network knows about your updated location and can route all incoming calls to your cell site, plus your mobile also scans available cell sites and connects to one having best signal level.

If you are on aeroplane mode, all this communication doesn't happen that's why saving more battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Both 1 and 2 are possible. You can root your phone using the HTC Dev method. Look in the Development section for the thread on rooting Hboot 2.18. Your radio is the most up-to-date radio out there, so you're good to go there. There is a newer software version out there (5.07), although you can only find it in rooted form, as the non-rooted version was never officially released other than in the form of an OTA update. As far as upgrading to ICS or JB, there are several ROM's out there for both, so you're good to go there once you gain root access.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anasgamer:
Hey guys, so it has been 3 days since I bought my note 2 and I've noticed today that my phone is kind of heating up while it's charging on the wall charger. I can feel the back side quite hot with a case on but the screen seems alright. Also the charger gets much more hotter than the phone. As I noticed that I just unplugged my note 2 charger and took out my dad's HTC one V charger and charged with that. The phone was charging fine but I also noticed the charger getting hot. So my question is that is it normal? The phone heating up as well as the charger? Also if I charge it with the HTC one V charger is it fine? I haven't noted the phone's temperature but I could do that if anyone wants to know.

Thanks a lot! :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aquaholik:
If your battery level is low when you start charging, it will attempt to draw a much current as possible, up to a maximum of 2 amp from the stock charger so it will get hot. The reason it does not get hot with the other charger is probably because the other charger can only output 1 amp maximum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anasgamer:
Thanks for the reply! And I guess it's that then. So you're telling me that I shouldn't worry if it's getting hot while charging, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aquaholik:
Test it. When phone is 60-80% charge it and sees if it warms up. My S2 warms up quickly and so does the charger if I let it drop to below 20% and start charging. So does my Lenovo Thinkpad's charger if I charge when battery level is low. The device and smart charger is pretty smart these days and varies the current and amp draw depending on the status of charge.

If you are not in a hurry, it might be better just to stick with the 1 amp charger for overnight charging. For quick charge or quick fill up when you don't have time, use the stock 2 amp charger.
