[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arschend:
I brought this up as a response in the bugs/fixes thread in General, but thought it deserved its own thread here. I'd like to know if this is a TW "feature" or something else that Sammy or T-Mo has baked into the ROM...

On a zoomable page, such as in a browser or in an email, if you swipe up/down along the left or right edge of the screen it zooms in/out as if using a pinch gesture. It gets really (really really really) annoying to have to be so careful of WHERE my finger is on the screen when I want to scroll and to not end up zooming. Are others being driven crazy by this?

I already spent time with Samsung Support to see if there was a way to toggle the "feature" and they told me I was SOL :(. I put in a feature request with them to add a toggle FWIW.

(this is on a stock, unrooted T-Mo GN2)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
This may or may not be helpful, but regarding Google Maps.. Which you may or may not be using while driving: they recently added a double tap hold, slide up and down to zoom. I'd love that feature to be implemented into browser and others with pinch to zoom, but that's gonna be up to the developers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimmjaw:
I had this issue too. I flashed a different ROM (the hacked ROM by cnmard (forget his username) ) in the development section and it doesn't seem to have this "feature." You can flash the ROM or ask in the thread how to turn it off. But it seems you'll need root regardless....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalab0y:
I was wondering why ive never had this accidental zoom...then I realized I have been using a 3rd party browser all along.. doesnt have this feature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arschend:
I found the feature to be active on both stock and Dolphin browsers. Haven't tried any other ones yet. Which 3rd party browser are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arschend:
I've been trying to keep the GN2 unrooted (company mobile device policy), but this issue may force me to temporarily root to apply a fix if any dev can provide one that doesn't require a full ROM flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalab0y:
Try Chrome
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
So I woke up this morning to find my Sensation running Jellybean no longer has mobile data. I called T-mobile and they went through all of their troubleshooting steps with no luck. It works fine on wifi but I get no 2g,3g, or 4g. It was working fine last night when I went to bed.

I tried flashing my phone with an ICS rom, backed up ROM, updated ROM, etc. with no luck.

Any ideas on what to check for?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I assume your data icon blinks on and off. If so....

It'll cure itself in a few hours.

If you must have data right now, flash a Sense rom. It'll work.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
yeah this happened to me this morning as well, on Paranoid Android JB. had to have data for work, so I just flashed ARHD real quick and set it up. hopefully its all good now, so I can go back :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier6303:
So the story is:

I purchased a 7100 from new egg when they had a $90 promotion. It was a completely impulse buy. I knew I was going to get it but I was going to wait to get it from the AT&T store but I cracked early. Anyways, I read that the international was not carrying the necessary bands to support AT&T LTE bands so I returned the n7100 to new egg and went to the AT&T store. Of course they were sold out and the store I have to go to is more than I'm willing to drive going back and forth for shipments. So I have the rep order me one to be direct shipped to my house. That was on Friday evening (11/9) that I ordered it. So, I now have a tracking number for the phone/sim and have been tracking it since it left the warehouse with a scheduled delivery date of tomorrow (11/15). It going from Fort Worth TX to Lancaster PA so 3 days is about right. I checked the status a few minutes ago and it hasnt changed since 11/12. The phone is still in Mesquite TX and its been there since 11/12. I cant imagine Im going to get it tomorrow if its really still in TX so I asked UPS what I have to do. They told me to deal with the shipper so I "live chatted" and the lady told me that I have to deal with the rep at the store.

Ugh.

Cliff Notes: I ordered a n7105 from att store and ups might have lost it...

Can the sales rep give me one from store stock or does he need to re-order from the fulfillment center in TX again?
[HTC EVO 3D] Kamau54:
Got a question.

Can I root a phone by downloading all the needed files to a flash drive , transfer those files to a pc that is not connected to the Internet, then root the Evo 3D from that pc?

Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] Straightsix74:
I've done this in the past on couple of different phones. I usually read everything I need to know a couple of times, download the files, then leave the guide web pages or what ever information open in the browser so that I can refer to them if needed.

The only part of the rooting process that has to be done with an internet connection is the htcdev unlock process.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kamau54:
Is that part done on the phone after you've transferred all the stuff to the phone? What I'm asking is, is the htcdev unlock process through the pc or phone?

Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You need a PC to flash the unlock token via fastboot. A custom recovery can be flashed from the bootloader if you are S-OFF, otherwise you will need a PC to flash that via fastboot as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] Kamau54:
Thanks.

Just one more related question, about this link:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/

Is doing a S-Off using this way legit, in your opinion?

Edit: it refers to this page:

http://unrevoked.com/#evo
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It's legit, but that's a very old article (December 2010) and that only worked on the early builds of GB for the Evo 3D. If you have build 2.17.651.5 or higher installed, including the official Sprint ICS, you will need to use the hboot downgrade method or the JuopunutBear wire trick to get S-OFF.

It's time for my upgrade :)

I think, great I'll get the HOX+

Orange UK don't hold it, so I thought I would use an online ship like phones4u, dialaphone, and the list goes on...

Some great deal, BUT they only hold the 32gb version in stock, with no idea when or if they'll get the 64gb in)

Can't afford to buy outright either :(

Bloody disgrace! :mad:

[HTC One X+] muzza1742:
Vodaphone UK have it in stock if you ring up and ask them (its not on the website)
[HTC One X+] 3xi1ed:
I got it from o2 the day it was released for an awesome deal, 179 Pounds upfront then 16.5 pounds a month for 24 months contract
[HTC One X+] targett:
Thanks for the replies :D

Can't afford to buy outright so no order from Cloves etc for me :(

Unfortunately Vodaphone don't have a great signal where I live so they are ruled out. O2 screwed me over a few yrs ago and I don't fancy getting screwed again!

Might ring Orange and ask when they are getting it... :banghead:
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
o_O i can't see that deal... upgrade deal? or?

nevermind i see it...
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
Upgrades

The phone has only just gone on sale at p4u last Friday, for new contracts only. Upgrades are soon they say as I'm waiting for it. O2 had exclusive when it was released. A mate just got it on O2 upgrade.

I'm on Orange and if the store mgr of the p4u shop I went to had not checked I would have it now, checking again this Saturday.

Afaik Orange are not offering it direct yet.

FYI the 32Gig is the HTC one x and the 64Gig is the HTC one x+. I was tempted with the one xl for 4G ready but only 16Gig mem and the s4 CPU are the turning point for me.

With 4G not really going to be prominent in the UK for at least 12 months, I thought it best to get the x+.

The lack of sd port is not very nice and was tempted with the S3 LTE and note 2 but just love the sense UI. So I guess I will stick with it
[HTC One X+] ste1164:
The phone on orange will either be the One X they are referring to or most orange/t-mobile stores are selling the 32GB HTC One XL as an upgrade to the HTC One X so you they might have meant that.
[HTC One X+] targett:
I thought that HOX+ was only 64gb but they do make a 32gb version too!

I'm really not sure whether to hold out and see what comes in a few weeks/month or just get the 32gb.

I currently have a 16gb SD Card in my DHD so I'll be doubling up.

Any p4u insiders know if 64gb is coming?
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
the 64 gig IS onsale at P4U on NEW contracts only atm. Im gonna see if i can get it tomorrow on upgrade as they said it would be a week to two weeks tops for it to be available there
[HTC One X+] targett:
Got an email yesterday saying

"Thank you for your recent email regarding the memory size of the HTC One X plus.

I have looked into your query and I can confirm that the size if the 64GB, however it does not support the SD card expansion. I have been happy to look into your query."

I'm expecting a call from them today so will insist I get the 64gb! :D
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
was that mail from orange or P4U? as im going in to the shops today to see if there is any update, will post back later once i know
[HTC One X+] targett:
It was from p4u...

Not heard from Orange UK direct yet!

Don't forget Orange UK shope are now EE shops... I've only seen the EE phones on display so far.
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
just spoke to P4U on there call centre, they CAN do upgrades online straight away but they dont know about the shops, looks like its time to go and see them, and EE shops will do there std phones plus the 4g stuff, orange wont offer the Hox+ yet because they just got a job load of Hox in

Got one

Just an update the HTC One x+ is listed on the Phones4U system as HTC ONE XX. that is why some stores CANT do the upgrade but if you asked them to check and no go by the paperwork it will all go through fine :)
[HTC One X+] targett:
Pleased to say the online and phone p4u store IS now stocking the 64gb version :D

I'm upgraded, arrives in up to 5 working days... Can't wait!!!
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
got mine in my hands now and charging, as i said before its listed as the one XX in the stores systems hence why i got mine today :)
[HTC One X+] targett:
I got a great deal over the phone that I don't think I would have got in store. Plus trawling a new born and a 3yr old wouldn't have been fun either... Lol

Let me know your thoughts?
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
I could have got a better deal on the phone BUT as with orange in 6 months i will best plan down to what i use and be happy :).

So far the handset is amazing BUT i couldnt do the handset transfer from my DHD for some reason, but its all set now anyway

Thanks, enjoy...
[HTC One X+] JohnnyBravo1000:
Glad I'm not alone in being slightly disappointed by the lack of availability of the One X+. "Lack of availability" means the fact it's not available directly from all major networks and even Carphone Warehouse!

I'm currently a T-Mobile customer and looking to upgrade to the One X+ from my HTC Desire. I'm going to have to upgrade through Phones4U, DialAPhone, MobilePhonesDirect or a similar third party.

Purely out of curiosity, will I lose out on anything by upgrading through a third party like those mentioned above?
[HTC One X+] Kyutu:
Asked Three a while ago about them stocking this phone and all I got was a vague "we currently have no announcement about this phone...". My phone is up for renewal in a few weeks, hoping they pull their fingers out by then because I'm not one for being patient. :)
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
As I said before, p4u have the stock and CAN upgrade any network, it's listed on the system as HTC One XX not X+ for some reason. Got mine Saturday and so far it's all good, the GF says my call quality is crap but it might be her sensation on the way out
[HTC One X+] targett:
I have a number for you to contact in phone4u upgrade team! She was wicked... Upgraded me and my wife.

Got me the 64gb HOX+ too :D

They'll be able to do you a deal on any network, and prob better than your own provider can!

As for Lisa on 08448712234 (ext 49037 I think) and say Matt Targett recommended you. They'll prob take your number and call you back.
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
when you phone direct they will do better deals than the stores and ALWAYS have handsets in stock as they have less overheads BUT if you want to walk out with a phone ( I did ) phone your local stores and ask as they are all up to the disscression of the store manager on handset sales etc
[HTC One X+] Robb3h:
I'd be interested to know how you managed this, I tried calling them today and was told that they do not stock the 64gb model and are unlikely to do so in the future... :(

Did you also ask for the "HTC One XX"?
[HTC One X+] targett:
Persistence...

(And telling them I was only interested in the 64gb)

But also, she thought they only had the 32gb in stock until I had an email (from previous web chat p4u) stating they now stock the 64gb. She checked it out and also confirmed it.

The stock room hadn't told them it was now 64gb they stocked...
[HTC One X+] JohnnyBravo1000:
Thanks for all the feedback. I think I may have to upgrade through Phones4U then. One last question before I do though, are their handsets branded?
[HTC One X+] UKMatt:
I started my search for a HOX+ 2 weeks ago when my upgrade came around, Orange didn't have a clue so I ended up talking to P4U who originally said they could upgrade me on orange but on closer inspection the computer said no. I ended up walking out with a new 02 contract and a the only HOX+ they had in stock.

OK so maybe I could've waited a week longer but I'm very impatient when a deal is on the table. The transfer from Orange to O2 was surprisingly smooth.
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
P4u handsets are simfree and stock
[HTC One X+] theguitarman94:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-One-X...54499?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3ccc843663 what do you guys think about this. If it can be unlocked I'm gonna get it when I get the money. £400 is way cheaper than anywhere else that is selling it. some of yo are paying above £480 for an android phone! Are you mad! Android phones lose their value so quick there not worth that much money.
[HTC One X+] bgodhania:
Hi I got my hox+ from eBay £330 locked on o2 it was brand new fectory sealed. I have tried to get unlock code. But no luck they says "its very new IMEI. Wait a month" now I am using my old o2 sim pay as u go.
[HTC One X+] WigglesGRN:
That's why I stay with Orange, after 6 months you best plan to what you want
[HTC One X+] JohnnyBravo1000:
I definitely think I am set on this phone now. Ideally I'd like more user reviews (which is difficult with only O2 stocking the phone direct and places like CPW not yet stocking the phone) before taking the plunge but the few I have read have all been positive.

The only decision I have left to make is whether to upgrade through Phones4U or MobilePhonesDirect. The latter I can save £3 per month on my line rental - so I will get the "unlimited everything" full monty tariff for £38 per month instead of £41.
[HTC One X+] Schumi 01:
Right sorry for the dumb question, but if i bought this phone from HERE which is locked to O2,

i could still buy one of O2 simplicity tariffs and use that couldnt i, The phone is stated as PAYG but isnt that the same as Simplicity ?

Thanks
[HTC One X+] JohnnyBravo1000:
I'm not an O2 customer but I believe if a phone is locked to O2 you can use any O2 sim card in it. It would need to be a micro sim though, obviously.
[HTC One X+] Schumi 01:
Thanks JB, my contract runs out in two months time, i will order a new sim use the remainder of my contract up then go to Simplicity.

Thanks again,
[HTC One X+] dbboy:
I went to mobile phones direct. Sim free and they do upgrades too... HTC ONE X+ currently on CID_001
[HTC One X+] boe323:
phones 4 you do a 64 gb one payas you go or simfree, there the same price any way.
[Nexus 4 General] Dan37tz:
So what do you guys think?

I'm still puzzled by how Google can sell basically the same phone as the Optimus G for half the price.

Benchmarks show heat issues with the N4 and very low heat tolerances before the CPU/GPU starts throttling massively cutting performance basically in half.

So maybe when Google approached LG to build the N4 and told them they need to sell it for $299 off contract, LG was like..,"hmmm.. we do have a bunch of rejected bin parts from the Optimus G we could sell for half price. Deal, we'll build the N4 for $299 Cha-Ching!!$!"

Manufacturers bin parts all the time, Intel, Nvidia ect. bin their CPU's and GPU's and basically put the rejected ones in lower end models and downclocks them.

LG makes some amazing IPS $1000 panels for Apple and Dell, the ones that don't cut it get sold for basically nothing and put into cheaper non-brand name cases (Yamakasi,Acheiva ect) and sold for $300.

Makes me think that maybe LG is doing the same with the N4 line up. What do you guys think? These thermal issues the N4 is facing is pointing me in that direction. Lower bin parts.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
No
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
Interesting approach. But Google would go nuts if LG would so something like that. I can't really give an educated answer but I personally don't think they do. Just a feeling.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
It is very possible and happen a lot in computer world.

But we can't know for sure. Both LG and Google won't say anything about this.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
It costs apple like $166 to make an iPhone..google is making money..believe it.The markup is insane on phones..
[Nexus 4 General] Dubhaltach:
Unlikely tbh. Good comspiracy thogh :D I think google subsidizes it to sell it almost above cost. LG doesn't, thus non play countries are screwed. EU wouldn't allow them to sell it at cost or below so the 8GB is slightly above cost, and they know that many people won't buy that, so the 16GB is all profit.
[Nexus 4 General] hbkmog:
Ah stop this kind of conspiracy. Say it when you have some proof.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
this

+ selling it for a lower price means selling more. More sold devices result in more money through play store (apps, music, books, movies...)
[Nexus 4 General] mi7chy:
Another dumb conspiracy theory.

Mods, we need a "dumb conspiracy theories because I wasn't able to get one" thread to consolidate these into.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
If this were the case, you know warranty returns and repairs and everything else would drive up the cost for both LG and Google, no?
[Nexus 4 General] dbgeek:
Not to mention the cost of brick and mortar stores as well as the amount of advertising that Apple does vs what Google does for the Nexus devices. Adding more advanced technology, like LTE radios and microSD readers will also mean higher costs (perhaps not a huge amount, but additional costs, none the less).
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
Google is in the search business, ad business and by getting people onto their phones they are also getting people into the google eco system its like apple believe it or not, people buy into it because they like the product at first but before they know it all their music is on itunes and they are buying apps from the app store all making apple money. Same applies there isnt much you can do on an android phone without making google money one way or another. either from the ads displayed or searches completed then there is play music which is aggressively priced for digital download. coincidence. no they want you locked into all things google. So by subing the phone initially they will predict the revenue made through other means will counter that,

so no it is not made from reject parts

also why would LG even care if this is successful. They make the same amount per handset as selling directly to distributors just google is acting as the distributor and lowering the price by subsidising it.

If i was a manufacturer like LG i would hope it sold in its millions as it would make me as a manufacturer some quick cash that I can then pump back into future R&D and manufacturing processes meaning it can compete better on par with its rivals

Simple really
[Nexus 4 General] Dan37tz:
Well I'm still kind of lost why the performance of this device suffers so much compared to other phones with the same chipset.

Hell for example the newly introducted HTC DNA which uses the identical chipset S4 pro, is pulling in over 8000 in quadrant! It's also pushing a 1080p screen with 440ppi!!!

Then we have the N4 here, with much less pixels to tax the GPU/CPU and it's pulling in 4000 Quadrants. There is something majorly wrong here.

I don't think it's the design of the phone, the N4 is not a super thin lightweight device. It's pretty thick so there should be plenty of room inside for heat dissipation.

I also don't think it has anything to do with software, the DNA is running 4.1 Jellybean, with a whole bunch of Verizon crap on it.

The N4 is running 4.2 Pure Jellybean, which is basically the same just with a couple camera tricks, a new keyboard and no crapware to slow it down. It's a pure unaltered android software so if it really was just an issue with the kernal or rom, Google would have fixed it easily and immediately with the latest OTA. That OTA didn't do crap and it still suffers from the performance issues.

Makes me believe it's an actual problem with the chipset itself, a lower bin set.
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
its simply down to power management which others incorporate where as the N4 has not as its not a feature baked into android. However devs will come up with these options as add ons and you will see where you can tweek the processor
[Nexus 4 General] Alicklee:
Nope nope nope

ok the thing is these phones are about $700 with no sub from carrier. google is shelling out about $380 a unit for the phone to be sold at the price they are being sold for $299 and $349us or $309 or $359 cnd. that price is subsidize by google. so to answer the question of OP no its not cheaper parts for the cheaper phone! the part for the phone is still the same cost it just google will be making their money back on ads and playstore purchase and also google drive upgrades.. I mean $380 a unit is a lot but if google is truly the ad's king they will rake in the dough from all the revenue of that which would mean peanuts for $380 a phone!
[Nexus 4 General] Dan37tz:
The thing is Google never advertised that the N4 should achieve a certain score on a benchmark. As far as they're concern, as long as the device runs their software smoothly, it doesn't matter what the benchmarks say.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I would guess it costs them well under $200 for them to make this phone..the optimus also..
