Thanks Ckpv5

I have had a search tho and every thing I have found including the http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_One_X seems to say that I need to be "unlocked" to flash a RUU. Can you point me in the right direction of flashing without unlocking?
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
You read it wrong mate ;)

To flash a RUU, you need a "locked" or "relocked" bootloader.

I believe your device is not rooted so your bootloader is "locked"

What you need to do is, reboot to fastboot (press power +volume down for a few second, you'll be in hboot, press power once, you'll be in fastboot mode).

Connect your device to PC then double click the RUU, follow the the updater instruction, you are good to go
[HTC One X] Vcek:
I would like to remind you guys as i have mentioned a billion times before (and no one believed me) that OTA updates and sent by IMEI ONLY ONLY ONLY.

No matter what your phone's CID/software number/colour/origin, if HTC didn't include your IMEI on the OTA update list you will never ever receive it. In case you really need the update, you can contact HTC with your IMEI. (they will most likely ask you to send it back to a service centre)

whether the OTA update will work on not, THAT depends on your CID.
[HTC One X] Kiwi Pete:
If that is correct my IMIE number should already be in there as my phone was originally HTC__044 and 707. As per my opening post I'm just trying to get it back to that.

Or are you saying that makeing those three details match still won't do the trick?
[HTC One X] Vcek:
Why don't you flash the ota directly?

[HTC One X] Unicate:
Sorry for that probably useless question:

If I can change my CID like its written in the first post, I can do the JB Firmware update from here?

I am waiting since JB is out, checking this every day, hoping that my CID will appear and it just works like that?
[HTC One X] Vcek:
Only if you are S-OFF (check at the top of the bootloader)

Edit: don't try changing your cid if not s-on, you will just waste your time(many people tried it already including me)

[HTC EVO 3D] Uncle Lizard:
I've tried some of the inverted Gapps apks and zips. They look nice, but not all the Gapps are supported and as soon as an app is updated its back to normal. I find this frustrating and I wanted to know if a theme or skin could do the same thing, but carry over to the newer versions after they are updated.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Unfortunately the inverted gapps do not keep up with the updates, be patient and as you already know I do have a thread going in the themes section, I am always on the hunt for new inverted gapps

(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Uncle Lizard:
Yes I saw that. That's what led me to wonder why Google or other app developers don't make apps with an inverted option. It might even be more popular.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
I found the 3rd zip alters the rom to almost all dark but it also removes the phone apks, so no dialer

(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! :D

[Sony Tablet S] maurobaz:
Hi All,

could anyone share their experience about the GPS performance of the xperia tablet?

I'm considering buying this tablet but I definitely need a quick GPS and I was really discouraged after reading this:

reviews.cnet.com/tablets/sony-xperia-tablet-s/

I own a tablet s and the GPS fix is really slow (my girlfriend has got a samsung galaxy tab 8.9 and under the same conditions she always has a way better and quicker fix than my tablet s).

I really do not understand why the GPS/navigation compartment was not developed better: Sony put a lot of attention into making the tablet splash proof, small and light (all nice features if you want to take the tablet out for a hike) but I have the strong impression that the GPS performance is really lacking: could you please share your thoughts?

What's your experiance indoor/outdoor?

Thanks in advance

Wish you all well

:)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The GPS function of most all tablets (and phones) is not designed to be nor meant to be fast and accurate. The intended function of a tablet's GPS is to approximate its location so apps can provide the user with localized search results and geographically targeted articles and advertisments.

There are many apps that use a tablet's GPS for navigation, but almost every one of those apps fail to perform with any great satisfaction. Apps like Google Maps are fairly accurate in determining a tablet's location, but only if the tablet is relatively motionless for several seconds. If the tablet is not motionless, like being in a moving vehicle, Google Maps will/can not quickly and accurately determine the tablet's location.

If you truly need fast and accurate navigational information, you will need to use a "real" GPS device. I use and recommend Garmin.
[Sony Tablet S] maurobaz:
Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

:)

I understand your point even if I do not agree with it (as the GPS is listed under the specs and as I have paid for it, then I would expect it to work ok).

You said the aim of tablet gps is to only give an approximate fix but my sony tablet s has troubles even reaching that steady/motionless fix (meaning that sometimes I wait and wait but I cannot get a solid fix. It works more or less ok only when there are ideal situations such as no buildings/trees around and you are on a flat terrain -i.e. no mountains-).

I would not want to use it for navigation in a car but I find it useful having some help when I'm discovering new cities as a tourist on foot. As I'm walking by slowly, reading wikipedia references, I would like to at least have a quick fix on the map that tells me where I am.

As I said, I have tested the galaxy tab 8.9 gps (and also a galaxy tab 2 10.1) and they beat the sony tablet gps hands down: in a narrow street with tall buildings they obtained the fix almost instantly while the tablet s could not (I remained in the same spot motionless for over a minute). All devices were using only the GPS in order to obtain the fix (so no 3g/4g).

I had the same (bad) experience "against" an iPad: basically I was invited to an open air exhibition where you had to use your tablet (be it Android or Apple) to tour the virtual musuem that was setup in an open air space. The open air location was the park of a villa, so not huge (let's say 4 times a soccer field) and with lots of time spent standing still in the same place in order to have a look at the virtual attractions. I was standing by the curator of the exhibition who had an iPad: he was able to get a GPS fix almost instantly and could start talking about the virtual attractions, while my tablet s never actually got a good fix (basically they asked us to install an app that was feeding us content based on our GPS location so, for instance, if we were in front of a bust (which had fixed GPS coordinates), then we were supposed to see the curator or other members explaining the history of the bust etc through an augmented reality app). In the end I was quite embarassed/annoyed to keep using my tablet so I joined another visitor and we used her tablet. The compass was/is also not accurate (I removed the tablet from the case in order to make sure there was no magnetic interference).

What I would be interested in for this thread are direct feedabcks from xperia tablet s users with real life situations: I'm quite afraid that all the alluminium that was used for the back cover/chassis of the xperia tablet might hamper the GPS funcionality (even more than in the tablet s...). Almost the same thing happened with the Asus transformer.

Thanks again for having taken the time to share your thoughts

;)

wish you well

[Sony Tablet S] saf4xdadev:
Hi, so did you ever get the Sony Xperia Tablet S? I have the SGPT123US/S with 4.0.3 rooted I bought last December 2012.

As for the GPS...lets just say it works....but it's not the best. The unit I have in my 2012 Toyota Highlander works a lot better.

Let me know what you did and how it works for you.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Never had issues with gps at all as long i have internet connection, did't really try without internet.

tested outside works fast, inside takes forever.
[Sony Tablet S] maurobaz:
Hi there,

thanks for sharing your experience.

:)

In the end I went for a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I'm really satisfied. Aside from the screen (Sony screens with true black technology are slightly better in my opinion), I think the note 10.1 is a very good tablet. I'm happy with the change (and the GPS in the note is lightning fast and accurate: it is able to pick up your position even inside buildings, trains or buses...a true life saver when you are stranded in a city you do not know).

wish you well

regards

:)

[Sony Tablet S] saf4xdadev:
Good choice. I may have gone for a different tablet if not for sony points I used to get this one. I would still rate this xperia tablet s in the top 3 tablets in its class and that were available last december 2012. I would also agree this sony gps works a bit better with internet, but it still works without and probabaly good enough for what it gets used for, which is not turn by turn directions in my case. But you probably made a wise choice all things considered. This xperia tablet s has some great features but if you weigh in the sony proprietary adapter plug, somewhat odd shaped kluge of a case, and overpriced accessories ....the galaxy was probably a better choice.

Take care.....

The WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod method did not work for me.

However, this simple little app does work:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en

I guess the authentication system used by Verizon isn't all that robust, if all you need is a simple app that doesn't even require root to bypass the subscription check and start the native WiFi tethering. Heh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
I have this issue nonstop.. It's random and annoying..

I've gone an hour or two without problems and then all of the sudden 4g icon disappears and comes back over and over until I stop tethering and restart it.. and then it happens immediately.. If I keep restarting tethering eventually it will hang on without dropping out but it will start it's crap again eventually.

I could have sworn Trev-E caused the phone to do the same thing. I want to say the issue is the phone and or the radio firmware.. possibly the kernel?

My first question post, so please don't flame me.

I went from ktoonez AOKP to M1 AOKP when M1 was first released and gtalk video chat does not work anymore and neither does the sound. I have also tried to use skype but that too comes through as static and no video.

I have done a full wipe factory data/wipe catche and format /system. It didn't bother me for a while and I have since switched roms to slim rom. When I went back to stock with root the video and the static issue went away but as as soon as I flashed the static came back.

What have I done wrong? I flash all the apropriate zip files in the correct order and such.

When I was on M1 I flashed kt747 kernel as well. Did I miss something along the way?

what kind of logs would be needed to help with the issue? right now I am on the latest slim rom with the kernel it came with

Thanks for all your help and I appreciate the help and will thank all who wish to help :)

also, video audio playback from recorded videos do work fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryonyanko:
any ideas?

summary...

flashed 10.22.12 task rom, everything seemed peachy. also added the jusTUN bean gapps with proper wiping i forgot to mention.

then flashed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949025 and after a little flashed the kt747 kernel. noticed the audio issue before the kernel flash. i can't say if the audio issue started with the first flash. still had tun

flashed a few more roms, baked (no data, LTE issue?), liquid smooth with tun, and back to task's AOKP without tun.

got fed up with the inability to find info on my issue and went back to stock through ODIN then flashed task again to see if that would fix it perm., it didn't. it WAS fine on stock after flashing through odin (i flashed the stock rom with root already injected in it)

and now i'm on slimrom. enjoying slim as I enjoyed it on my bf's SII but STILL having the audio issue..

it really irks me that after starting anew with going back to stock with odin helped completely then flashing a rom fked it again...

i do full wipe, user data, cache, dalvik, format /system... all through the newest CWM non-touch. then proceed to flash the rom normally

Thanks for the reply my man. That's an idea I never thought of. I did flash wanam light before going through Odinand flashing ccompletely stock with root. I don't believe I flashed it incorrectly since I had no data again, may have forgotten to format data but I was a little stressed at then time. I'm just really used to aosp at the moment but I willgive it a try after ttrying to find out what's wrong.

Other things in noticed that most likely its the top mic that's the issue. Another thing is my buddy said he had a sound issue simular from his headset connected to his computer and stated that it was because too much voltage was being pushed to his mic.... So wondering if that's any relevance

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bpopilek:
Okay after reading through the forums, it appears that for the time being while we can install Google wallet, it is useless. I have also read that the VZW Isis payments are area specific for now. So my question is are there any other alternative apps that we can use to do the same thing? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
My thought, after having looked around, is there is nothing else like gw, ATM. That may change, but for now, nothing. Isis might be ok, but I think we are probably years away from that getting fully ramped up. Think about it this way, Verizon has yet to even roll it out, them, merchants have to agree to use it and pay their fees, and have to feel like it will generate enough revenue to be worth the cost of new hardware and fees associated with the service. Google got in on an already existing technology, where Verizon's Isis, I think, is totally new. Just my thoughts anyway, I might be way off.

But the upside...we got root in two days, you think these devs are done????? No way. I think several would pony up a bounty for it. It'll come.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfesorYeow:
What it's the list of the better GPS Chipset in MTK Processors.

In the past I start in Android with the FG8, a Mediatek MTK6516 416 MHz processor and with that phone I have the best GPS ever!

I can connect in only 20 second to more than 12 satelites.

Them, I have 3 phone, all with MTK6573, 650MHz+350MHz and had the worst GPS ever!

Now, I'm waiting my new phone (a Huawei) with MTK6577 (and I don't know the quality it's the GPS).

But why MTK? because I need dual-sim phones and Qualcomm don't have a lot of phone dual-sim.

So my question it's: anyone have or know a list of the best GPS Chipsets? I use a lot of offline maps and I don't have connection (wifi-3g) most part of the time)

Thanks for all for read this :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
I fear the difference you experienced has more to do with the other components than the MTK chipset.

Especially shape, quality and placement of the antenna is probably the big difference. Though calibration data of the antenna in the radio firmware may also matter (on the 6516 you had to take care not to loose the calibration data when you formatted flash)

And of course, the antenna is determined by the builder, and how cheap/hasty they are making the phone. For example, despite your experience, my MT6516 HD9 was not soo good at all. My MT6575 A750 is better, but not as good as my specialized Garmin GPSMAN60GS, which has a 3 cubic cm quad helix antenna. You'll never see those in a cell phone.

I suspect the actualy GPS sub-chip is pretty much the same in all modern Mediatek chips. After all, MTK was originally a GPS-only chipmaker, and have been making those for 10 years or so, so so they fixed all the early errors.

PS: There is one 'GPS' change I hope they will put on the new MT6589 chip: GLONAS support. But to repeat, I am sure all of 16, 73, 75, 77 have the same GPS sub-chip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfesorYeow:
Thanks

I don't know that details, thanks a lot for the information. I must see and search my next phone be an MTK6589 or better. I ear about Glonas of Qualcomm but I must use a dual-sim phone and Qualcomm has little amount of diversity in dual-sim smartphones.

Thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
No that's not what I meant. It was just an extra remark.

In fact, as they might (so I hope) add a new GPS sub-chip in the MT6589, thats when you could see improvements, or new early adoption mistakes.

The MT6577 is a safe bet, its GPS subchip has been stable for years now and I am sure it's GPS is as good as the MT6516 was, provided the phone builder did not mess up the antenna.

My hope for Glonass is only a hope. What is known about the MT6589 is that it will be somewhat faster than the MT6577 (4 core rather then 2 core, but only A7 cores, not A9), but a lot more energy efficient (again A7 cores rather then A9)

You could wait for the MT6589, it will be a few more months, but the first models may be priced too high (shopkeepers will want to milk it) so reasonable prices may be only in March/April or so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfesorYeow:
Thanks for the info again! I do not know that.

I think I must wait :) Best regards!!

(I hope too the MT6589 have a better GPS)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namagakumon:
Hi,

I've been trying to collect information about the battery discharge status on Android. I've been doing my experiments using the Galaxy Nexus phone and using public Android APIs as well as info from /sys/class/power_supply/battery. My impression is that the update rate is lower than I was expecting and it is hard to predict battery lifetime as the voltage discharge curve is not linear.

I notice that BatteryManager uses the SoC-based MAX17040 chip to collect battery information. The problem is that this chip only measures state of discharge (voltage) data from the battery, whereas a current-sensing fuel gauge would provide more accurate information by telling me both the voltage and the current. The Galaxy Nexus has a TI TWL6030 PMIC, which includes a current-sensing fuel gauge; however, for reasons that I do not understand, Google decided to use the MAX17040 chip for fuel gauging. Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it because there were no drivers for the TWL6030 fuel-gauge when the Nexus was released? Considering that such driver exists now, would it be possible to switch to TWL6030 for fuel gauging? Are there any hardware obstacles that would prevent me from doing it?
