[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
Now that I'm officially on the 3 week wait period, I am wondering if the HTC One X+ would be a better buy. Yes, I lose the latest version of Android for now but I'm sure HTC will upgrade it soon. What I do gain is supposedly a better camera and lots more storage. Not sure about the performance and battery life between the two. If price was not an issue, would you chose the One X+?

(Hope this is the correct forum to post this question)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
I thought it had nice stats and I love HTC devices. I would have probably gotten it if it wasn't for the N4. That said man. I love this N4. If you were wanting it, I'd wait it out. You'll be happy you did.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guster730:
I've owned HTC devices, they're good but HTC will not update it soon. Maybe by next year. The camera is better and you wouldn't have to wait, otherwise I'd go with the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
Thanks for your response. Is the glass on the back of your phone scary? There is a thread here of someone cracking it and the verge review also mentioned the back cracking. I have had my iphone 4s slipped off my hands a few times (didn't crack though)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12078215:
It's very slippery indeed. Especially if you place it down on an uneven surface. I'm definitely going to buy a coating for the back or a case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed10000:
If price wasn't an issue, I would purchase the One X+ rather than wait indefinitely for the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
Anyone has any performance or battery life comparisons? I understand the Nexus 4 has a more powerful CPU but from what I'm reading, it throttles down more than it should. In that case, does the One X+ end up being a better overall performer?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
Scary? No. Fragile? Perhaps. But I have had quite a few phones and they all seem like that to me. I put a TPU case on it. It raises the screen off of any surface so I don't scratch it and it will protect it from a small fall.

The Battery has been ok for me. I got about 8 hours yesterday with heavy usage and I was at 41% when I crashed, so I left it on my chest of drawers and this morning it was at 39%. I thought that was cool. My Inspire would have been almost dead.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Nexus has more RAM and a much better SoC. There isn't much between the One X and the One X+, and I don't regret changing one bit.

Of you are thinking of HTC I would suggest getting an N4 users ditched one off eBay and saving a bit of cash.

No S-OFF for them, mind, which is gash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
My only concern is the fact that tegra 3 is really outdated. Regardless what benchmarks say and what not. They are outdated.

The tegra 3 is still fast and has good performance, while that's all fun and good there's still many many down sides

1. Google is moving at a fast pace, that means => more updates

2. for HTC sense that means they will have to put that into their UI - if you're aware of htc you should know by now that their sense UI framework all goes together. That means if one part doesn't work you probably won't get the rest of it to work. This means that updates generally probably take longer to integrate into sense than it does into stock android. Even galaxy s3 is a better option in my opinion, the reason i believe samsung is able to upgrade their devices faster than HTC is because their UI is NOT as complicated. IMO touchwiz is just stock with a few things refurbished.

3.LOCKED BOOTLOADER - I'll say it once and i'll say it again, flashing is easy. Very easy. However, there are MANY people who are on leaked jelly bean rom via flashing.

Where's the problem you ask? The problem is that it is only flashable to a certain number of cids. In the htc one x/jelly bean leak update case, the jelly bean rom was only flashable to european cids, this means that MANY people couldn't flash their phone despite having rooted and some even unbranded phones.

This is in my opinion very unfair of htc and a good reason to choose not to go for HTC until they sort this mess out.

4. The price of the htc one x -> 520~530 euros... No thank you, you can get an as equally good device (nexus 4) for cheaper. And even if it is not cheaper in your country and costs you 500 euros, it is still better than an outdated tegra 3 chip with slow updates.

I have the feeling google will sort out battery problems. Just give them time. Once again, that's just my opinion, but i have faith in google.

oh and #5...

Tegra 4 is probably coming out next year, which isn't too far from now, you might have to wait a few months. But before getting this outdated chip you might wanna stick to nothing or buy a nexus 4. I know i'd do that, but i want to go for google this time around because they give you the best experience in the long run.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Well, you could have one before a month so if your in a hurry its a good buy.

Other than that, I wouldn't. Primarily due to the screens HTC uses, but that is personal preference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballaz:
If you cannot wait it out like me, I would suggest the galaxy note 2 if the size and price is not a concern for you. I got the international version because it receives updates faster that the American carrier crippled versions.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
The Note 2 is massive! I tried one out but couldn't get used to the size.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus161:
I was definitely going to get the One X+ until they announced the N4, which became my preference, With the delay I have looked at the HOX+ again but prefer to wait for the N4, due to price, better SOC, updates.

However if HTC were to announce a WW version of the DNA.............
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
I completely agree that the SoC is technically better but what's the point if thermals aren't good enough to keep it in check. The iPhone 5 with a dual core processor is performing better than the Nexus 4 which shouldn't be the case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
What's wrong with the screen of the one x? Apparently it is as good as the nexus 4 if not better. The only difference being that the one x has more contrast. The only thing i liked about the one x was its amazing screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
You could wait for a bit and see if the DNA gets released worldwide? The Nexus 4 might be out by then so you can compare :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLFB:
I seriously gave this a thought and decided the phone is just way too big - I tried putting dummies on my pocket about 10x. It will fit well in your pocket (imo) but since I'm an active dude that's always on the go it's not ideal at all. I need something more mobile that can be tucked in easily. I think I'll set a 5-inch screen as my limit. Beyond that it's an overkill.

Moreso, if the N4 did not exist I would've given the Lumia 920 a try for a change.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
I'd say they are on par. But only if the One X+ gets Cyanogenmod 10.

The One X has:

-a better camera

-LTE

-more storage

BUT

-1gb of RAM (WHY HTC?!... WHY?)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
If they were both the same price: HTC. Seeing as the off contract price of the HTC is double that of the Nexus 4: Nexus.

Backordered baby!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreammaster4:
hello my lovely XDA friends...

before i start with my issue id like to say that i have searched and searched and searched for the answer to my little problem and ive come up with nothing that i either understand or been able to solve my problem so PLEASE dont shout, moan or carper about my following question.

first is i own a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 on the three network in the UK, had the phone about a year and successfully flashed ics rooted 4.0.4 on my device.

when I did this everything worked fine except my camera and the ability to watch videos.. skype was fine although i can only see the calling party and not myself.. my own video being always black regardless.

I still have all the files needed should you need to know these. just let me know.

I'm truly sorry about this.. but after all this time im at my whits end with how to solve this..

can you help me?

yours

a very tired dreammaster.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
stock kernal on ics 4.0.4 had a camera issue on the sgs 2 when firstflashed.

Just change the kernal to a siyah 4.1.5 or any similiar kernal without the mali drivers and your phone should work fine.

there was also a camera fix in one of the forums.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreammaster4:
thank you very much mr cosmic.. would it be possable for you to link me to said kernal to that i may download and flash it .. if it is indeed that easy... thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutslit:
hi mate how about change your kernel just like said below,i prefer siyah and dorimanx with no mali driver.;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
Hi all

I have recently rooted my phone and have installed advanced stock kernel. Now i was thinking of to overclock my device but after wandering over countless threads gave up. I want to overclock my phone to 1.7 ghz, have have tried KA Xperia SSpeed kernel v7 but after installing the 1.7ghz kernel my device went into a bootloop and would boot after approx 30 sec after the lockscreen appeared:(. Next i went over to Doom kernel but realized it was only for gingerbread (i am currently running ics .45 firmware) plus i could download the files anyway due to some network error. I could find anything else regarding overclocking, so here i humbly ask again, is there any way to overclock my device to 1.7 ghz stable? Plus there wouldn't be any risk of OC'ing to 1.7 ghz as xperia sl has the same hardware and is factory OC'ed, would there? Any Help?:confused:

Thanx in advance :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
anyone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
If overclocking causes bootloop then your phone can probably not take the higher frequency. Not all can.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Ur bootloader is unlocked?

And btw, every phone is different. Some take 2 ghz without a problem, others get bootloop at 1,6 ghz. Also, overclocking isnt that good. its better to use a fast gouvernor and sheduler.

U can get jelly bean with a custom rom.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Depends on ur rom, on ICS smartassv2 + noop is good, on Jelly Bean interactive(X) + sio.

Why do u want to overclock?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
because my device gets laggy with a live wallpaper:( and also because i thought whats the harm? when sl can do it perfectly so could mine:p

i am on a stock rom, so can you please tell me more about those governors?:confused: i am new to this stuff
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
If you're unlocked then flash advanced stock kernel and then flash paranoid android 2.55, it's sooo fast!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Try using a cpu app like 'cpu master'. Use settings to find an overclock frequency that's stable. You don't have to use the full overclock frequency.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
so on that do all the features work? like hdmi, hardware acceleration etc?

btw i already have advanced stock kernel :)

you dont understand i cannot overclock using any app. :( My current frequency is shown as the max frequency
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
u cant oc with the stock kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
interesting development... i installed xsx krnel 1.9 ghz doesnt go to bootloop like it did with SSpeed kernel 1.7 ghz :confused:

any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SalmanAbbas:
ah forget it, i am better off with 1.5ghz
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
1.9-1.7 are the max frequencys, yes. But you use an app to lower the frequency until the phone is stable. My x10 had a 1228mhz max kernel, but my phone would only be stable at 1190mhz. Some x10 would only run at stock, no overclock.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dsteppa:
Nice topic.

Though the gap from 4500 to 2500 is a bit big, would be nicer if you could also include batteries that are as big as the stock.

For example 3500mAH.

On another note:

When I look at the services that are running:

@ 5200 & 4500 mAh I notice that the screen service is on top.

@ 5400 & 2500 mAh I notice Android OS service on top.

So I've got no clue how you tested them all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beejers:
Great write up.

Did you clear battery stats between tests and let them recharge a couple of cycles? Or is that necessary?

Not necessary when it comes to li-ion batteries, but necessary when it comes to the phone itself. I think he should have done the calibration process that is required for an extended battery to be recognized by the phone. Mugen has it here.

Hi all,

Recently a colleague have given me a Galaxy mini plus.

the fact is that my colleague has been testing the phone and flash it. He touched something he should not.

The thing is, all works fine (apparently) but when you make a call automatically hangs up the phone without without call tone.

Does anyone know what this can be?.

Thanks

Edit: I think what is happens, I'm following this manual for unlocking (SIM): w w w.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/167546-tutorial-unlock-sim-network-samsung-galaxy-mini-gt-s5570.html

and I see that when it comes to pass: # mkdir / efs

It says: mkdir failed for / efs, File exists

From what I gather he tried to unlock but something went wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
it can be that he tried unlocking it and the imei may got corrupted

ask him about the backup of efs

one more thing is try checking imei by *#06# if it is normal nothing to worry everything can be corrected
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
We are talking about a guy that has broken his phone doing changes without having any idea. I'm sure that he does not have any backup.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

But the Imei looks good. I have pressed the numer secuence and in the screen appears a long number that begins by 35....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
OK so imei is OK which is very good

next try to use that sim in other mobile

or other sim in that mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
Yes I tried it, this SIM in other phone work without problem,

Any SIM that you put inside the galaxy mini, does not work
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
it can be a hardware fault
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
Can I do something to test if it is the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
you can flash stock then give it to care

PD: Sorry for my bad english

I flash a stock rom, complete, with boot loader from samfirmware.

It still not working...

Any ideas?, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
did you flashed galaxy mini firmware

if yes then flash galaxy mini plus firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
you should never do that

or you may have a hard bricked mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
Ok, so, what can I do instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
give it to a repair shop
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
I'm trying to avoid it, because it's probably the cost of repair is greater than the value of the phone now
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] VR.gtmini:
If it is WITHIN warranty period, your phone will be repaired freely. :)

If not then I don't know :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
No, It is not in warranty period, in that case I had taken the phone to the store
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
I can't find any software problem according to the info

maybe someone else would he able to help you
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
I'm sure that may be something related with the efs directory because it is empy. I think that the problem is nvram or other file in the efs directory that is corrupted

I would strongly advise using ACMEUninstaller to remove CM7 completely, then ACMEInstaller3 to install CM10. I had some problems when I didn't do that.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
You'll want to Acmeuninstall, then acmeinstaller3. You can use the CM9 nightly as people generally choose that as a good place to start, and since you're using acmeinstaller3 you'll be ready to flash CM10 as soon as its all sorted.

Right now the biggest thing bothering people with CM10 is that flash works buggy at best. But other than that I'm using CM10 based ROMs without issue.
