Hi there everyone-

I got internatinal version of HTC ONE X.

Rooted with CM10 nightly 11/11 installed.

Problem is i can get GPS fix after i did installed it (using app to determine - 0 satellites), i can restore back since i don't have a recovery.

HBOOT is 1.12.0000

I have a backup, but after I restore through fastboot its tuck on HTC Siply Clever and keeps on restarting.

PLESE HELP. I NEED GPS :((((
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
not an expert at this, but there is a tool in play store called"GPS Test"

i remember using that tool on my Incredible S, and it used to find GPS instantly...

Try and see if that helps..

its free..
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
Regarding the backup. You first need to extract the boot. img in that specific backup that you have. If you're using CWM. you can find it in clockworkmod folder > backup > the specified date of your backup creation unless you rename it to other name.

flash that boot img in fastboot just like you want to flash a new rom and go to restore backup and select the respective backup.

I did unroot my phone today and instilled stock ICS 4.0 on it. Still no GPS fix (using GPS test app). Its driving me nuts. Unroot and flashing RUU worked fine. Checked RUU version via fastboot before, so shouldn't be issue there..

I am still on warranty, but it will take up to a MONTH to fix it with no replacement phone. I don't want to open the phone myself too.

Is there any way I can do something from SW standpoint?
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
if even on stock you can't have gps lock then it is most probably hw problem. I will have to advice you to get it fix as soon as u can since It might take a while as u said a month and it might be difficult though if u don't have a second device to be used.

[HTC One X] Just4s:
It may be HW issue.. I renebmer it stoped working in a middle of the road. Not after the update/drop/water damage etc.
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
you might want to check by pressing gently on the left side of your hox near the usb plug area with your fingers and see if you can get a gps lock or not because if I'm not mistaken the position is just on the opposite side of the wifi antenna

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Just4s:
It worked! At least now i know that its definitely hw issue, but it has to be presset pretty hard i have to say.

How i could remove such issue myself? Phone is unibody and i don't want to open it due all the warranties thing..

Any suggestions? case probably wont work due low pressure....
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
You have to open the case yourself. It's a bit tight because all of the double sided tape is placed on the battery and on the top side of the phone so if you really want to just check what is the solution you can try searching for wifi hardware solution. There are videos on YouTube that shows how to fix that. I would assume it is the same for gps

edit : on the side note. Since it is definitely a hw issue. you might be able to get a replacement for it. just try and clarify with them and explain that you've tried pressing gently on the left side similar to checking HTC One X for any wifi hw issues. Because a lot of people who has wifi hw issues got a replacement after sending it back

Ok, so i have cyanogen 7.2 on my G3 and i REALLY want to play HD games. So i installed chainfire3d, i reduced texture qualities and texture size..then i tried to play nfs shift but no luck! It keeps force closing. Can someone please, PLEASE help me out here, im not really good with chainfire but i know how to work an android. Can someone please advise me something?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D@rekills4:
NFS Shift won't work on CyanogenMod (for now) cause it uses tom3q's OpenFIMG which has not been implemented to the fullest yet. It's still under development.

With Froyo, it works great.

And make sure you are using the APK and game data specific to the Galaxy 3.

I'm curious why no one discusses Simple Mobile as an option for their new Nexus 4? Just like Straight Talk, Simple Mobile is owned by TracFone, and uses T-Mobile towers. I've also read on other forums that they are no as strict about their data usage as Straight Talk is. I know Simple Mobile used to be their own thing until earlier this year when acquired by TracFone.

Here's their website: http://www.mysimplemobile.com/

[Nexus 4 General] UltimateEnd:
im currently using T-Mo with the Nexus 4, id like to use one of the ones mentioned above but, id like to find out ahead of time what would the download speed of the 4G would look like .

right now im getting atleast 9-12Mgps here in NYC, soon will be moving to DALLAS TX in the next day .

so yeah :)
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Simple caps you right at 2gb. And if you tether for more than an hour or so you get a warning. And they're customer service is terrible. Better off just paying the extra $10 a month for the tmo prepaid, at least you get voice/text roaming with them
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateEnd:
TRUE,

Thought straight talk in the US has unlimited everything at $45 a month .

but the data is shared i guess whatever that mean . .

they also tell you that if they feel like you are using too much 4g bandwith, they have the right to slow your speed down, who knows how ! :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
It's because straight talk basically has the same plan for $5 cheaper.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
I looked into it and decided to stick with T mobile value plans. For two lines it wasn't much more than the other stuff.

I did a lot of searching and saw data cap talk after 2gb and other things so I decided not worth the hassle to save a couple of bucks.
[Nexus 4 General] sx4dude2013:

Im using Straight Talk and for $41.50 a month I could not be more satisfied. So far I'm LOVING the service :)
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
I'll be using it with Simple. I have heard that they have severe caps in the 2-3GB range, but I don't use much data (<1GB) so I haven't experienced a hard cap. Also, they've recently included 250MB at "4G" before they throttle down to "3G." I use quotes because the speeds are laughable. For "4G" down, I get around 3Mb/s. For 3G down, it's around 300Kb/s. I can't complain since data isn't a huge deal for me, but it is for most people. But at $40/month, this isn't too bad.
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
9nly reason why I stay with Simple Mobile is because of the free internatinal texting. Their data speeds arent all that great but I am always mostly on wifi.

[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Hmmm never heard of it. Guess it's not a UK thing then?
[Nexus 4 General] siftekhar:
I thought it was (straight talk) $45.

you got it for $41.50 (365 days prepaid?)
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
Do you know if they have rollover minutes like Tracfone?
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Well, I've never used them personally. I just knew they were an option, and I wondered why people never mention them.

As for data speeds, it would be the same as on T-Mobile.

On capping, I heard that Straight Talk was more strict on that than Simple Mobile is. I read somewhere that Simple Mobile used to be hardcore about capping you at a certain point, but since they were purchased by TracFone, it all changed. Again, this is what I've read, and it could be totally wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Simplemobile, I had them fly almost 2 years. Supposedly they have no cap but they showed me the rules where it says they can sit you down any time your usage is effecting others.

I am dumping them for tmob $30 prepaid. With simple I could not get PayPal notifications or Google. it is something with those short numbers. Ticked me off many times.

They use tmobile as a carrier

sent via xda premium with nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Yeah, but basically every carrier in the US with an "Unlimited" data option has that clause in their user agreement. I'm currently with Boost Mobile, and I think that they term it as "fair use". Either way, with my current data speeds, and my crummy phone, I would have to try incredibly hard to even hit 1gb a month compared to how much I use now. I would be surprised if I even break 250mb as it currently stands.
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
No. They don't. It's unlimited.

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

It's not the same as T-Mobile. Even though they're using the same towers, Simple actually throttles more.
[Nexus 4 General] rona809:
well in 50 plan i get 7-21 mp on my galaxy nexus is better than straighttalk you cant even stream nothing there i used like around 3gb a month
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Straightalk is far from unlimited data...they usually cap you around 2-3 gigs. T-Mobile Simple plan does that around 5 gigs from what I understand. Straightalk is not a good option for data users...good for talkers though.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
I went with the $60 Monthly 4G plan from TMo... because over the past two years I have averaged about 1.1 GBs of data on Verizon (I switch to WiFi whenever I can) + the free roaming on TMo.

Additionally, I have used TMo before, and had a good experience... so went back to them.

If anything, I would like to switch to the $30 Monthly 4G plan... and try VOIP... I think that is best route for a value customer (or a customer who doesn't want to get butt raped by greedy carriers) :o
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
That's not true. Just because they use T-mobile doesn't mean the speeds are the same.
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
Sounds about right. I'm on the $40 with 250MB of 4G at the speeds you mentioned. At 3GB I doubt you're gonna see any throttling. They only do it to folks who abuse the data.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I am done with simplemobile. I wanted a refund for a payment that was made b early, before the deep. To get a refund I have to stay on hold for 33 minutes while he fills out a case file. Then he tells me I have to call back in 2 days. If they decide to give me a refund it will take 30 days...

The thing is the transaction was only pending. They could have stopped the hold but instead I waste 33 minutes of my 100 on the phone with them.

I switched to T-Mobile, 5 gigs data, 100 minutes talk for $30.. They transferred the number in less than an hour.

I was concocting staying with simple mobile until they wanted to charge my for the micro sim. I have been with them for over a year. You would think they would give me the sim to keep me but nope..

Btw-they have no set limit. This means they just dump you when ever they think it effects other users in your area. Most get dumped b at around 2 gigs but many have been dumped for using less.

[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Tealc:
What bothered me about simple is when i went over the limit they throttled me which is normal but didn't get reset every month, i had to call in for 3 month to get them to fix it 35min hold was just frustrating :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
These are the kind of horror stories I've heard about SM. This is my second month with them with no issues. Probably because I never go over 1GB, even with previous carriers. I'd switch to that $30 plan in a heartbeat if I didn't need minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] bass++:
Because the ad I keep seeing on Engadget says T-Mobile national 4g and either that is false or I am lost.

What?
[Nexus 4 General] sLiKK:
So the consensus here is Simple Mobile will cut off your data at 2-3 GB of usage. In the past 6 months, I have used around 1 to 1.5Gb of data at tmobile plan. Im thinking of switching to SM. But the horror stories are keeping me away...so confused :s
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
If you're prepaid, it's really not that difficult / costly to just try it out for a month. You can get a SIM card on eBay for 1$ and activate it yourself online. You don't even need to contact them. If it doesn't work out, you can just go back to T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Actually, you can get a Simple Mobile SIM card on Amazon for like 69¢ shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
I thought I would report back since I started this thread about Simple Mobile. I'm currently using them on my Nexus 4 and have been since around the 5th.

With speed tests I'm pulling ~15mb down and ~3mb up with 60-120ms latency. I've used a total of 588mb according to my phones mobile data tracking info and that is with no slowdown. It has been from web browsing, streaming a few YouTube videos, and the biggest chunk (435mb) is from streaming through Google Music.

The only comments I have about the service is that it was actually really easy to get in touch with customer service when I tried to do so (3 occasions), and there has been somewhat of a nagging issue that I'm not sure is related to Simple Mobile or is an issue with the phone itself. Sometimes when I try to dial out while at home, and when I have a perfectly fine signal as indicated by my phone, it will not do so and loses connection to the network at random. Since Simple Mobile uses T-Mobile towers, so this could be an issue with T-Mobile, or something with Simple Mobile's APN info that causes an problem. The other possibility that I really hope is not the case is that it could just be a problem with the phone. I'm tempted to switch to StraightTalk on AT&T for a month just to see if I have the same issues in order to help narrow it down (plus getting a chance to do a comparison test of the network) and be able to report back here.

Just remember that these are just my experiences for my area (Carlsbad is in San Diego county for those who don't know), and your results could be much different. I'll update this semi-review when I have something worth posting or if anyone else here has some stuff they would like to add.
[Nexus 4 General] sLiKK:
Wow...these are great speeds. I am also thinking of switching to simple mobile from tmobile. My dilemma is that I just heard Tmobile made an agreement with Apple to bring iPhone to its customers. I have unlimited 4g data (throttled at 5GB i think) for $20....preferred android internet -- a grandfathered feature. I would like to get my significant other an iphone . If I leave tmobile now, I wont be able to get the $20 unlimited internet if I come back to them for Iphone in future... so im still debating :s
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I was with simple mobile for about a year and will never ever go back. Just wait until you have to deal with customer service.

In addition there is no set limit or at least there wasn't when I had the unlimited plan. They can cut you off for any reason. If they feel your usage is effecting the network.. Bam.. Gone.

Do some good research on them before you use them. I am so glad I am not with them anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] movielover76:
Most people I know stay away from simple mobile because out of all of the Tmobile mvnos they throttle the most.

St throttles less, and in my experience solavei gives you more data. And at least you know when it will start 4gb
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Right now I'm at 1.09gb for the month. Next payment is due on the 5th, so I'll see if I can use the heck out of the mobile network over the next few days just to see what happens.

I'm getting TERRIBLE speeds... Anyone?
[Nexus 4 General] sLiKK:
Horrible Customer Service ! Here’s why!!

I recently bought a SimpleMobile sim from amazon and called the customer service to activate my service (40$ unlimited talk text and data). I let the CSR know that I need to port my number from TMOobile and this is the reason I didn’t activate online coz it didn’t give me an option to port number. CSR said he should be able to port my number with no problem. He got all of my info, charged my CC and put me on hold, came back and told me that he has activated my account with a NEW number. I had mentioned several times to him during the call that I needed to port my old number which he probably didn’t heed. I was pissed….he said nothing could be done. I spoke to his supervisor who said they can refund my money which will take 30 days to process.

Not sure if I will go back to them. CS was horrible.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
I ported my old number from Boost Mobile and it wasn't an issue. In fact, it was all said and done in about 45 minutes, including the time it took me to get in touch with a CSR at Simple Mobile.

I might give Solavei a shot though if things don't pan out with SM. Right now I'm streaming tons of music through Google Music that I haven't played before. I also disabled my WiFi on the phone to stay on the mobile network. Obviously the amount of data I use this month will be unusually high for me, so I don't know that this will help with anything other than answering questions about throttling that others might have.
[Nexus 4 General] rlaw:
Haven't had any issues with SM. Been with them since May or so. 40$ plan here.
[Nexus 4 General] movielover76:
This is common on the $40 simple mobile plan, they throttle after a measly 250mb, you pay for that $5 - $9 savings.over straight talk or solavei.

The $50 plan says unlimited 4g , but with prepaid, unlimited never really means unlimited, they probably throttle at some point more similar to straight talk as they are now both owned by tracfone.
[Nexus 4 General] abnormalreply:
This is normal for SM's 3G speed. I'm guessing you're on the $40 plan which gets 250MB at 4G speeds (3-20 Mb/s depending on where you are.) After the 250MB at 4G, they throttle you to around 250 Kb/s.

I'm also on this plan. Not much of a problem for me as I'm connected to wifi 90% of the time.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
They are awful..
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Just an update, but I'm at 2.5GB of data so far (over a GB in the last 24hrs) and there is no sign of throttling. Still getting my normal speeds. I'll keep pounding away with Google Music. When I get closer to the last day of my month I'll go ahead and download a larger file from Dropbox.

Should I be expecting a text message if they decide to throttle me or do I need to run a speed test every now and then to see if it happens?
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
What is so awful about T-Mobile other than having a contract that you wouldn't just pay 60ish a month for unlimited everything? Wife and i together pay $122 for unlimited everything and no throttling. I'd never go down to an arbitrary cap or 100 mins a month just to save 30 bucks a line.

Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] gagdude:
Some people just don't need as much mins, sms, or data as unlimited and there's nothing wrong in saving.

The problem is you have no idea when they will throttle.

The $30 100 mins plan does not mean you actually try and use 100 mins or less a month (though some people actually do, so once again different needs go to different people). With VoIP you can basically get unlimited minutes.

What you basically said right there is why not pay more money for unlimited everything? Id have to disagree and say I don't have that type of money to blow.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Yep. Wife and I are full-time students with a 16 month old daughter. Money is tight, so I need to cut costs where possible. No sense in paying more for the same thing PLUS being locked into a contract. Truth is, with prepaid I have the option to cancel if I can't afford my phone any longer, but with post paid I'd pay more plus a big cancelation fee if I needed to cancel my service. Anyhow, I can think of more reasons why you should use prepaid than I could possibly think of for post paid.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Also thought I would do a small update on the throttling thing. As I said earlier, I'm at 2.5GB and it seemed I wasn't being throttled. Anyways, my Speed tests have really slowed down to only .25mbps down and up with 60ms ping. I called Simple Mobile and the rep I spoke with told me that everything is full on on my phone (not being throttled from what they could see) and that I should pull my SIM card and put it back. I haven't done that yet to verify it would fix the issue but I will tomorrow when I feel like digging the little SIM tool out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] nightfire37:
I'm using simple mobile and I love the unlimited everything for $40. I'm using the 3G plan on an unlocked AT&T 4G LTE phone. You will get an E as your data symbol. In a popular city, you will get 4G without LTE. Great experience with them and it is something you will like without busting out your wallets
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Yeah I should have mentioned that. When I'm getting my slow speeds, I'm still showing an H for HSPA+.
[Nexus 4 General] nightfire37:
I've done some speed tests and the most I get is around 2 mbps when I get the E on my data. never done a speed test on 4G. Ether way, those speeds are great for web surfing. I've tried YouTube vids just to try it out and it isn't watchable.
[Nexus 4 General] gagdude:
2 Mbps on EDGE? That's ridiculously fast. Are you sure it is Mbps?
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Yeah that would be crazy fast for EDGE. I get ~15mbps down and ~3mbps up normally when I have the H. So my getting .25mbps down and up would indicate something is wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Alright, well here is the update on my previous posts. I got a text message today saying I'm at risk of losing my data services for violation of the ToS. The exact amount that my phone reports for my data use is 2.45GB. Even though I would not usually use this much data on a normal month, I don't like a company advertising unlimited 4g and then cutting me at such a low amount of actual use.

The other aspects of the service have been OK though. Getting in touch with customer service was actually really easy in spite of what others reported in this thread. I'd say the cell reception and call quality were not as good as on Boost Mobile, but it could be the Nexus 4 that is the issue. So what I think I'll do is switch to AT&T through Straight Talk in a few days to see if that clears up my issue. Then the following month, I'll try out T-Mobile directly to see if I end up having the same results.

I'd say that if you don't need more than 2GB of data per month then this service is probably OK. But I would prefer Straight Talk since it is 5 dollars cheaper. I went with Simple Mobile because their deal specifically states that you will get unlimited 4g.
[Nexus 4 General] parcelbrat:
I'm assuming you are grandfather'd in then, because the current TMo Data Plan TOS call out a reservation to throttle at 5GB, and there is no combination of plans on them giving 2 lines unlimited everything for around $122/month (The value plans come close at $70/month, but that doesn't account for taxes and fees).

I've been w tmo for abt 7 years. I have android preferred android web plan for $20 and they throttle me at 5 GB. Debating whether I should go to prepaid or no.
