[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Col. Sanders:
I would invest in the bumper case also, I bought an iPhone4 when they first came out. I thought the rear glass panel was Gorilla glass and it got scratched all to hell ended up looking like crap so I just put some fake carbon fiber film on it. I was not a fan of phone cases, I thought they are too bulky.

As for the warm glass on a cold surface thing goes there may be a possibility. One night we were going to dinner at a friends house I set a warm glass Pirex dish on the Sunroof of my car. On the drive home I could hear a lot of wind noise coming from the sunroof. I slid back the sunshade and saw that the glass had shattered. Did the warm/hot dish do this or some punk with a bb gun I'll never know?

I just bought the Mrs. a Galaxy S3 and it's kinda of the large side for my taste, the note seemed even bigger.

LG seems to have good build quality it's been a while since I have owned one though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roxy:
^ Yeah. If you do go with a bumper case, it's recommended to get a back protector such as http://www.clarivue.com/lg-google-nexus-4-ultra-clear-screen-protector.html ~

I am still trying to get Nexus 4 myself... and it is a pain in the rear to get it... If you don't want that, I would go for Note 2 but since I love pure Android and I am on budget, I am going for Nexus 4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Same dilemma here, think I'll give the N4 until end Jan to be available in Play store and if not I'll go Note 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
You have a Galaxy Nexus already right? Assuming that, buying a Nexus 4 would make no sense. You're paying $350 for the same experience, albeit "faster" and more refined. Honestly, get the Note 2 or wait for MWC in February. Its a bad time to buy a phone right now. The A15 hasn't really hit the market en masse just yet and most of the phones on the market right now will mean nothing when the 2013 lineup comes to be at MWC.

Oh and you'd have to deal with Googles horrid purchase experience for the Nexus 4. Come on Google. You can do better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeBruin32:
I've been struggling with the same question and I concluded that I truly want a note 2, and I would only be settling for a nexus because it's so much cheaper. Then I decided that because I would feel like I was settling, I'm better off keeping my gs2 and seeing what next year brings.

Disclaimer: I'm also waiting to see if someone gets voice activated on a nexus 7, so I'm clearly in love with size :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netninja:
I should tell you that I have upgraded to the new Nexus every year since the Nexus One. The Nexus 4 will not be a big upgrade but it'll be part of my annual upgrade tradition.

And yes Google messed up big time with the Play store fiasco/Nexus 4 launch. Because if it had launched smoothly I would have ordered one and never considered the Note 2 and this thread wouldn't exist.

For many years now, I've played in the safe Nexus environment and that is why I am looking at other phones. The Note 2 seems like the craziest phone to get hence why I am thinking about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
nexus 4 if you want the latest updates.. note 2 if you dont care about updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkarvan:
Wrong forum? Galaxy Nexus here, not Nexus 4 or Galaxy Note
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netninja:
Not really. I am a galaxy nexus user looking to upgrade to one of those two phones. If I asked this question in either the N4 or Note 2 forum..the responses that I get will be pretty biased!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ofsinreno:
I've had a Galaxy Nexus and upgraded to the Note 2 because I couldn't get a GN4. Now luckily we changed our work phones over from tmobile to Verizon so I had an excuse to go back and buy another gnex. (Note 2=personal, Galaxy Nexus=work phone) I also just bought a gn4 for my wife. Here's my opinion:

The Note 2 is awesome! It's so fast, it's the first phone I've never considered rooting and installing a custom ROM, (even though I'm not a fan of TW, I just installed ADW), the screen real estate is irreplaceable, the s-pen features are useful to me on a daily basis, and I stopped using my tablet the day I bought this phone.

The downside really is the size. Although I quickly got used to taking calls on it, when I take it to the gym, or listen to music while I'm running, it's really too big. Don't misunderstand, for me the benefits are worth the few, FEW, drawbacks caused by the larger size.

The price really shouldn't be an issue either if you are seriously considering both phones. What I mean is, if you can afford either one, then don't base your decision on the cost- if you can't afford the Note 2 then don't buy it, get the GN4 and you will be happy I'm sure.

Originally I planned on using the Note 2 until I could get my hands on a GN4, but now that I've had it for a month, I won't give it up.

I am glad though that I have an excuse to get another Galaxy Nexus, it's still my favorite phone I've ever had :)

Sent from my... wait, I can't remember what device or ROM I'm running anymore!

[HTC One S] toybreaker:
So a fresh One S

Used Hasoon200's all in One to unlock bootloader and root.

Flashed CWM

followed instructions to load Dark Jelly

will only reboot into recovery.

I can not boot into bootloader, I have tried

..adb reboot bootloader

..reboot phone holding downvolume

its my bosses phone so any help would be appreciated. :) whoopsie.

Can not use RUU because it has to bet into fastboot.

I have pushed files using ADB push XXXX /sdcard and the files go through the transfer process but then are not visible in /sdcard.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Looks like your new here. Just a heads up you need to post questions in the Q & A forum.

To get into the boot loader this is how I do it.

Turn off the phone

Hold down Volume -

Hold down power for 5 secs then release while continuing to hold volume -

Then keep pressing power over and over until the bootloader pops up and stop.

It sounds weird but it works every time for me.
[HTC One S] toybreaker:
i will try that. I am fairly new. I tried to post over there in dev but apparently i needed to have posted 10 times before i can post there.
[HTC One S] toybreaker:
Tried it but no go. Went through about 6 reboot tries.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Hold the Vol- button as you turn it off and keep hold when turning it on again.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Just to be clear this is what the bootloader looks like.

That's what your trying to get to?
[HTC One S] toybreaker:
Yepp..that is it. So i dont understand why but I pulled the SIM card and then was able to drop it into the bootloader. flashed a boot.img and bamm...it booted. Thanks for the quick responses but I am all fixed up now :)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Why do you have a Ville XC? Was it shipped S-OFF?
[HTC One S] willumpie82:
make sure your phone is off, not hibernating (neat HTC feature)

to completely turn off your HTC, hold the powerbutton alone for some seconds until your home/menu/.. buttons start to blink, when they stop blinking, your device is off, you can let go the power button.

now hold power and vol down to enter bootloader.

other option

if you have htc booting into android, enable USB debugging, download ADB-tools, and enter "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery"

good luck

or remove the battery, ah, bummer we can't, we have a One S

I've tested some rom's for the Galaxy Gio and i liked the most the Oxygen Rom 1.1.0. Here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002632

Although i found 2 problems with it. The lack of Gtalk and the fact that it doesn't display the contact name in incoming calls.

For Gtalk i started using the talkto app and problem solve.

Now for the contacts i don't know what to do because they're sync with google and they are display correctly in the contacts menu, only when people call me that it does show the contact.

If someone could help it would be very nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] zadkziel:
I think the problem resolved itself. Today the contact names are appearing as they should. I did nothing to the phone.

I am not sure if this is a general T989 issue, an AOKP issue, or some other issue. But has anyone else had people complain that they sound very extremely bad when you are talking to them on the phone? I hear it enough that it makes me think there may be some audio issues with my phone. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kentfor:

That resolves problems for 95% of users. The next step is flashing alternative radios to see if one works better for you.

[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
hey everyone. i just grabbed a bnib one s off of craigslist that has been locked to a different carrier then i use. when i paid a website for the unlock code from the imei they said they couldnt do it and refunded my money. when i asked why they said the code hadnt been posted by the manufacturer and that i should wait a few weeks. when i googled this i found something that said manufacturers dont usually produce unlock codes until phones have been on the market for 3 weeks.

seeing as how the one s has been out for months, could this mean the actual phone needs to have been released for over 3 weeks?

big thanks to ferraripassion at www.htccode.com, he was able to get my unlock code when 3 other websites failed. the code was also emailed to me almost immediately. hes much faster, and has much better service then the other websites i tried. if anyone ever needs unlock codes, or is having trouble finding theirs either pm him, or visit his website. his site also has an imei checker so you can verify he has your code before you bother paying and dealing with refunds like the other sites.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Have you taken a look at the thread SIM Unlock for FREE
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
yes ive read that. my problem with that is:

i recently bought a bnib one s that was unlocked, it worked fine for a few weeks then got stuck in a bootloop without being modified or rooted. i could not enter the recovery and factory reset didnt work. i unlocked the bootloader and attempted to install an aftermarket recovery and it also wouldnt load. installing a ruu also wouldnt fix the problem. when i tried to get it warrantied htc wouldnt cover it because i unlocked the bootloader.

now that ive bought my 2nd one s, im going to use it for a month or 2 before i bother unlocking the bootloader. hopefully a 1 or 2 month grace period will be enough to weed out any potential defects.

i tried another unlocking site htcsimunlock.com, they also couldnt find the code, however they have access to htcs company database and said they have a 99 percent change of unlocking it for an extra 15 bucks. im gonna give them a try.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Oh yeah, you can root the phone without unlocking the bootloader using this tool.

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/koi38l3uve546rs/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip?dl=1

Turn on USB debugging on your phone and run the script on your computer.

Press 1 for normal

Then on your phone press "restore my phone"

Then wait for it to finish.

After that use the unlocking guide.

That will keep your warranty intact since HTC will have no trace of your phone on their servers.
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
thats awesome! when was that released? i was hoping thered be a way to get around unlocking the bootloader.

is it possible to load custom roms or change cid with that or do you still need to unlock the bootloader for that?

deep search couldnt find my unlock code either, looks like ill try your method.
[HTC One S] dc211:
It came out sometime in September it just no one really knows about it around here (One S forums). I think you can change CID without unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure. I know how to unlock the bootloader without using HTC dev also but I need to test a little more.
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
for some reason the rooting program isnt working. ive tried running it from cmd with admin rights, click 1, click restore my data on phone, it restarts for a few min script says its complete then it restarts and i dont have root. ive tried it 3 times now i dont know if im doing something wrong or what?

phone is in debug mode with allow 3rd party apps.

i also just noticed there is an error report ready on the phone. any ideas?
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Does this work for you? I keep getting the "mount: permission denied" after the reboot :(

That would be epic! Let us know once it's done!
[HTC One S] dc211:
Strange I tried it today myself. I actually ran a RUU then the first thing I did was try it and it worked just fine. It added the app Super SU to my phone. That's root. Then right after I did it i checkd in adb shell and it dropped down to root no problem. My bootloader was still locked too.

Check your app drawer for Super SU? I don't think it's hboot specific at all but what are you guys on?

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

From what I understand the way you get root is the script exploits a timed event in the adb backup/restore process. So maybe try it a couple times.
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
running android 4.0.3

software number 1.84.631.9

hboot is 1.13

su does not get installed and rootchecker says that there is no root. ive tried it like 5 times now...

did the end of the script look similar to mine? i watched a video on how to run it and it looked a little different, however it was a different version of the script so that may have been it. i also get an htc error saying the phone just recovered from an abnormal reset.
[HTC One S] dc211:
I saw everything you did before with your last One S I know you're competent at all this; so I'm sorry to ask but did you look for the super SU app everytime? You're on T-mobile US right?

I already spent a few hours on phone stuff today. You might have to wait until tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

My script looked exactly like that. The phone rebooted twice and it was done. If your used to seeing the "Super User" app and your looking for that it won't be there this uses the "Super SU" app. They do the same thing.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Actually, there other one s users too on the original thread with the same problem ("mount: permission denied").

You re only the second to report it works :/

And Bin4ry said that if you get this message, the exploit won't work.

Here is my log:

Do you have those 2 files missing or did you get the same error?

Also which ruu did you flash?
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
i wouldnt say im exactly competent but i know a bit lol. ive flashed different roms on my tf101 i bought used that was already unlocked, and i am a bit familiar with looking threw scripts and running commands from using linux but ive never actually rooted a phone. but yeah this seems like a fairly basic process, i doubt there is much i could be doing wrong here.

super su is not installed, and has not installed in any of the attempts that i have noticed.

my phone is locked on fido in canada. maybe this has something to do with it?

do you remember if your phone popped up with the htc error report when it was all done? maybe there is some kind of programming from fido interfering with the script and causing the phone to reboot?

also when the phone reboots the first time and it tries to copy everything. mine doesnt completely load the home screen. my background loads but there are no apps on the screen and the launcher bar at the bottom is missing. i can however pull down the top menu and load into settings.

on a side note, have you seen this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1913729 any idea if it would work with the one s?

i appreciate your help. theres probably not much you can help with but its nice to get some input from someone who knows more about this stuff. i posted on the forum page listing my problem so hopefully the developer of the script can figure something out.

hey l3ft3r1s were those errors posted in the script window or is there a log file that is exported somewhere? mine doesnt report any errors in the script window.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Script window.

As i see you get the "Backup-Restore.apk' does not exist" also, but this shouldn't be the problem, if you get the "Restore" prompt on the phone.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Interesting I used the RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.53.771.4_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_2_10.13.31501S.06L_release_251870_signed

That won't be an option for anyone that hasn't downgraded their hboot though. I thought I was pretty sure that I had all this wrapped up and just needed to write instructions.

Do you guys have the HTC drivers installed? I'm sure I'll be able to figure it all out it just might take another day or two.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

Your carrier wouldn't matter. But it sounds like it created a problem with your stock ROM did I read that right? Also, it's my experience that the error report only shows up if you have the "security warning" flag in hboot and you are using a stock rom.

We can't depend on the Sprint HTC phone stuff that much. They have a SD card slot and we don't if you'd like to look else where then you want to look at the ATT HTC One X stuff. They use a modified version of the root exploit for their phone. I'm guessing that it worked for me becuase I had a lower hboot. I didn't think that would be an issue but it just might. I was going to test it tomorrow since if something goes wrong I know how to fix it. So you might want to hold off. But if you'd like I'll post the link.

If you guys move forward then you might get stuck having to unlock via HTC dev to restore. Which kinda defeats the point of trying all this. You might want to hold off another day or two.
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
yeah i have the drivers installed.

i dont really have an option at the moment, im not gonna unlock the bootloader just yet so ill go without :). if you can figure it out thatd be wicked. i have a link to my ruu if you want to try it...
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
I think so. How do I confirm this? Either way I don't think this should be the problem, since I get a return to adb devices.

By the way, do all RUUs need downgraded hboot?
[HTC One S] dc211:
Easiest way is to just hit the button in the all in one toolkit. Not all RUU's need to downgrade the hboot. You can use an RUU that has a higher hboot (as long as your CID is compatable). So you can always use a RUU to upgrade but not to downgrade.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Hold tight I'll figure it all out tomorrow.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
yeap, htc drivers, still nothing

Thanks for the info

good luck... ;) Again, I'm not optimistic, because of these 2 different problems.

try v17 of the script, just to compare the outputs

Hello,

I had a Galaxy S2, but now i have the 4X HD. I have a question: My S2's pictures had about 2,5mb (size of the file), and my 4X HD's pictures has about 1,4mb. Why is that difference so big ? Dont they have the same 8Mpx camera?

I dont know if i am wrong, but S2 has a better camera ? Am I forgeting anything about the configuration ?

Thanks for the atention,

Arthur Garcia
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
Yes we all discussed this before. Size is not big as you noticed. we all knwo that our camera has some problems (focus , night pictures).

May be we`ll have a update on the camera wich might take better fotos.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Picture file size depends also on the kind of picture (light, colors, etc...), what ISO camera use, and maybe other settings.

If the settings are "automatic" they'll change deppending of the enviroment where the picture is made soo, also the size.

We have the compression too... maybe LG software have different compression than Shaisung.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AG22:
Thank you all people, i understood. So i hope in the future, LG give us an good update xD

I cant root my phone, my firmware (Brazil 10C) has some bug, so i guess i cant mod for camera V5. Am I right ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] darryd:
not exactly, most important for file size is JPG quality compression (0-100 where 100 is 100% of quality but higher file size)...i don't know what is in stock camera, but it have strong compression and that give you worst quality but smaller file size, i.e. you can download ICS Camera or lgCamera from Google Play and change this settings to higher quality/less compression...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Soo, if not exactly, how you explain the same picture size selected (8MP) and different picture file size? Resolution is the same...

The stock compression should be none.

Of course that we can not have the quality of a 100% .jpg (or any other format) in a lower percent ... That happends not only with pictures, also sound or video files...

Some formats can have better quality with smaller file size but, thats another story!

:cool:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] darryd:
Of course, the difference will always be, because every picture is different. As you wrote, it also depends on the details of the file size, but it will be a small difference, but certainly not so that the first image is 1.5 MB and the next is 3 MB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcheung28:
Hi all,

I know there are couple of other threads on this topic, but each of them gives me different information.

I flashed eybee's XXLSA leak recently but my OCD can't cope with even minor bugs and lag. I'm wanting to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4. I believe I came from a Hong Kong firmware (tgy). I'm rooted with Philz’s kernel.

1 Can reverting back to ICS be done by using recovery, or do I have to use Odin?

2 I don't have an external SD, does that matter?

3 I flashed eybee's supercharger script zip, does that make any difference in the process?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
