Thought it would be good for this forum to have a off-topic thread to not only keep other threads cleaner, but also a place for general discussion relating to this device and other devices.

This thread must still follow the forum rules.

This means that there should be no flaming or language use in this thread. Thanks for your cooperation with the rules!

Besides that, enjoy! :)

You cant root on 2.3.4. You must install a custom kernel that already has superuser preloaded. Or you can downgrade to 2.3.3 root it and then update ota to 2.3.4.

I have a ATnT phone in storage for a while. When I took it out I notice the LCD was cracked. Bad timing too. I went on ebay and saw that the LCD is only sold with the Digitizer. Is there any way I can just buy the LCD? If so, where?

Reason I posted this in the TMOBIL section because I will be using this phone on T Mobil network. I will buy an unlock code but I wanted to see if the phone would work as if it was design for tmobil network. Will 4g work a it should?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Unfortunately not.

Everything that I have seen and with the tear downs, it seems like the LCD is fused with glue or something to the digitizer.

They need to be replaced in conjunction with each other from everything I have found.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] android_4life:
My bluetooth reception in both of my cars are good, but I used the Plantronics Voyager, and Jawbone Era 3.0 and I get static when I'm a few feet away and so on. The Plantronics was great on my S2. When I got my S3 I put the Official CM10 rom on it right away and never used the bluetooth with the stock rom.

So my question is could my issue be the rom itself maybe it has a different bluetooth radio then stock, or is this a weak bluetooth chip. I read other ppl had issues with weak bluetooth on this phone as well, I had the phone for 3 months and I do have a Best Buy 2 years replacement warranty, so I'm not worried about replacing the phone, but I don't want the same problem is it's the rom, or radio. Any advice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterDecker:
Well, lets start off by the easy. Make a back up of your current setup, flash in the stock ROM, and see if that has the same issue, if it doesn't then warranty it out, if it doesn't then It would leave to reason that t is an issue with the ROM your running.

when you are saying it failed what do you mean exactly?

i would suggest you to use ganeshp's guide from general section to S-OFF your device but unfortunately your device is not in working condition:(
[HTC Sensation] tanaysood:
I would say its time to retire your sensation... If you cannot unlock the bootloader and a factory reset does not help then I dont think there is much more that can be done.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I would say... Find the cid then based on it... Find the proper ruu and run it...
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
The failure I get when trying the HTC unlocking tool is the same as a lot of people have reported
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i think that causes the failure because of different imei after motherboard's replacement

if i remember well there is somewhere a thread of what to do when htcdev fails after motherboard is being replacing

and it comes with different imei

but i don't remember where:(

give it a try and search it
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
I have none of these, as the phone is completely stock and of course I can't get into the phone to install things or change settings.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Nooooooooooo... :silly:

as i said find the proper RUU ...from here and flash it

TIP: RUU can be flashed from bootloader and no adb is required ..thus usb debugging enabling is not required

When i install a custom rom like CM9 B4 by arco or MIUI v4 RC2 i got a bootloop...

So if i reflash the stockrom with ODIN, it goes in bootloop but if i do a factory reset and clean cache from stock recovery it boots...

This doesn't work with ANY custom rom...

Any solutions? :(

(I flash Custom-roms with ClockworkMOD 6.0.1.9 by arco, and stock rom rooted)

Dude, got you covered I think. Same happened to me. Flash back to stock, download EZ Unlock 1.2, do not use 1.4 on the market it won't work.Prress unlock on that app and you are all set.

Only option I've found to work is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784709

Just follow that guide and you'll be rooted w/ CWM and ready to flash the ROM of your choice.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Thanks bro and what's the odds the person to answer is another 49ers fan:D:thumbup:, let ya know how it goes
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Fellow 49ers fan? Friend request incoming. lol

That guide works well so you should haven't any problems.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
This will work with all providers hey bro, I'm with Telus/Canada
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
The ROM that guide gets you on isn't meant to be ran permanently, at least I didn't think so but I also won't do stock. Just find the appropriate ROM after finishing the guide.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
U recommend a particular ROM, not too many to choose from also is ur battery life any good I'm just new to this device?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Buttery life is dependent on your use. Test each ROM and find the one u like best is my best suggestion.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
I'm sorry bro just call me stupid but it's ok to treat me as a newb cuz I am too this device but what part of that link involves me and rooting, like which parts should I follow to get me rooted plus installing CWM or some type of recovery and I did install ROM Manager already just want to know where to go to make it easy to do step by step?:(
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Take this guide one step at a time. Read through it a few times, slowly, if need be. It's not a difficult one; just may look intimidating to some. A new guide came up, which u know about, that does the same thing but keeps the original build id. If u ask me, pick one and go. Don't over think it.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Installing ROM manager on stock ICS does nothing more than, well, installing ROM manager on stock ICS. You must have rooted Gingerbread to be able to flash a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP; which is required to enjoy any of the ROMs in the developer section here. And to downgrade stock ICS to Gingerbread, you must follow one of the unbrick guides. What particular section should you follow to get root + CWM? From the 1st word in the OP to the last period.

Like X0dus said, read through whichever guide you choose to use before you do anything; get familiar with the process and what you're going to be doing. Obviously, keep the directions open while performing the process, and don't skip around. Each step is essential and must be followed in order.

I tried Bin4ry root method and it worked on 1st attempt on my P930 with leaked ICS V18f... Give it a try..:good:
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
If all that is needed is root privileges then this may work; but if a custom recovery is the objective this will not work. And when it's all said and done, why not go ahead and do the unbrick process and install HO!NO!'s rooted CWM flashable ICS or Liquid Nitro if you want all or mostly stock... get rooted stock ICS and also the ability to try out all the other options available?
[HTC One X] worlock666:
To cut a long story short I smashed my screen (doh!)

Checked XDADev's for info and broadly got the message I was looking at £80 - 100 for the repair based on others experiences... rang HTC the guy said based on previous repairs and that it was just the gorilla glass I was looking at around £100. Also found somewhere else that would do it for £85 in 48 hrs but thought it best to keep warranty intact and go through 'official channels'.

Sent it off and received my quote today (2 days later)... £150!!! The quote states it's just the glass they are replacing and the cost of the part is £99. Tried ringing them and arguing the toss but just got some guy who, whilst very nice, just kept avoiding my question and feeding me bull****. Now I'm in the situation where if I don't accept the quote they will still charge me £30 just for looking at it and send it back so I can then get repaired elsewhere, So I'm going to accept the quote because I want it back asap.

This has left a really bad taste in my mouth and left me with a VERY negative view of HTC.

Just thought I'd share my story for the benefit of others who may be stupid enough (like me!) in the future to break their screens...

[HTC One X] Calwa:
my condolences - you'll manage it :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] onetik:
That's why if you want to get the best after sales support, you always buy iPhone. Although, the screen is pretty expensive and getting it repaired from official channels will always cost significantly more.
[HTC One X] arknailed7754:
Don't accept it. I've gave this advice before but mail HTC ceo and complain. It's outrageous etc etc. See what happens
[HTC One X] itsali:
When I spoke to HTC Australia, I asked if my warranty would still remain after they repaired the screen, they said no... so I just did it myself.

You might want to double check whether they'll honour your warranty!
[HTC One X] worlock666:
Thanx mate... I did ask that when I first called.. it was the main reason I went down the HTC route as I found somewhere else that would have done it much quicker and cheaper too!
[HTC One X] jo3yp:
Just argue with them and complain that the Gorilla Glass has shattered too easily, you're very disappointed, have been a long standing HTC customer and never had any problems with previous phones etc... refuse to accept the quote and ask to speak with their manager. When I smashed mine, less than 2 weeks into ownership, I was quoted 150 quid as well ($300 SGD). After a few phone calls they dropped the price down to 75 quid ($150 SGD). It took a couple of days more to get the phone back, but it was worth it. The warranty remained intact too as I have since sent the phone in for repair when the speaker stopped working and there was a dead zone on the screen, it was repaired free of charge.
[Nook Touch General] nrseife:
I have not kept up with the latest progress with respect to listening to mp3 on my NST with GlowLight (firmware 1.5).....

1) is there "a simple way" to get this capability implemented on my Nook (using an usb adaptor)?

2) Ideal would be one that is integrated with one of the root methods (I prefer TinyNook (or similar name; too long ago...) since that is the only one that allows me to use Good Technologies email client to check my company email)

3) Even if I did go through all the trouble...what sound quality can I expect? Anywhere close to what my Android smartphone can provide? Is it worth it?

Thanks!

1. Open Google Drive

2. Long press on the desired video file

3. From the popup, select "Send Link"

4. Choose either "Copy to Clipboard" or "Share to Clipboard."

5. Open any browser that SUPPORTS FLASH.

6. In the address bar, long press and select "Paste" or "Paste and Go" (just copy the URL into your browsers address bar).

7. Hit go.

8. Enjoy watching your videos streaming to your phone in your browser.

9. Watch fullscreen by double tapping on the video as it plays.

Note: you MUST have a flash enabled browser. I use Boat Browser on Jellybean 4.1.2

Thanks OP.

Not to thread hijack but dude thanks for the Plex tip, I had never heard of it. It's the ****!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwbeasley:
The reason I use this method is because the Google method automatically converts the video to a flash supported content that can be streamed no matter what. I have lots of various formats that I don't want to have multiple codecs for. There are other ways to do it but none I'd personally seen on streaming from this method. Beauty of Android: multiple ways to get to there!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sirdowski:
Exactly. Just having the option is nice. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwbeasley:
Can you share with folks exactly how Plex is used? I tried it, loved it, and I'm positive that if folks search for this solution, they'll want to here about this! It's astonishingly straightforward and really easy to use, but everyone's skill level is different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Greefus:
This is awesome. I got only 8 GB of storage and no SD card or USB drive support, but now Google Drive is perfectly useful to me.

It turns your computer into a server, and through the installed Plex software allows you to stream all media content seamlessly from your computer to your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Hello all,

I am fairly experienced at flashing ROMs/Kernels on other phones, but I have to say I've never attempted one that I couldn't pull the battery if something got caught in a bootloop or froze up on me.

I am preparing myself for an unlock/root/recovery etc. install and trying to get my ducks in a row before hand.

Maybe I'm being overcautious, but what would be the best resolution to a bootlooped or frozen phone? I want to make sure I'm not going to brick anything easily (I know it can't be completely avoided since I'm mucking about in the system, but I like to reduce the chances as much as possible).

I assume I want to try and give things as much time as possible when installing if something freezes, but what's the best solution to restarting a process if it sticks or loops somewhere? Power button and go back to recovery? Simple long power button press and start process over again? Am I being too cautious?

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Native ability to power cycle is built in. Holding the power button for ten seconds will reboot no matter the circumstance unless bricked.
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
I can't even count the number of times while flashing something to my DNA that it has frozen. Don't be afraid to hold the power button down until it turns off. Then just start your process all over again. And I'm sure you know what to do if it freezes up again :)
[HTC Droid DNA] bmorrisj:
as long as the front three controls start flashing when you hold the power button, you're good and it'll reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
also, once you have a recovery installed. MAKE A BACKUP!

Also if you get stuck, ask pros in this chat before you do anything that might brick your device. http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=#droid-dna
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Thanks for the info all.

Yes, I've read lots of posts regarding the bootlooping, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to find the "correct" way to restart the process. Thanks!

Always! One of the first things I do... Learned that one early on the hard way. :eek:

You may or may not have seen the announcement made on the Portal a day or so ago. If you have, great, then you know what this is about.

In case you haven't, the management team here at XDA decided that we would try to reorganize the moderation team to be able to tackle the changing environment in our site. So, we have split the moderation team into smaller more intimate teams, with each team in charge of certain sections. The sections are split up by manufacturer and type of device as well as world allocation (i.e. US/Canada and International).

All the teams are composed of a number of forum moderators with different levels of experience in different areas, and each team has a team leader (typically a Senior Moderator). Our team will focus primarily on HTC devices in the United States for GSM carriers (i.e. AT&T, T-Mobile and such). Now that this has been explained, let me introduce you to your new team of moderators:

E.Cadro

il Duce

mf2112

orb3000

Red5

TRusselo

TonyStark

and I am the team leader. :cyclops:

We all hope that you enjoy your stay here, and look forward to getting know all of you and working with you in the future. We will respect you if you respect us. Follow the rules and don't be a douche.

Can we get a name change of the forum now?

This was requested countless times with the previous mod team but kept falling on deaf ears.

The name "AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL" has led to much confusion for many users.

The phone comes in 2 forms with minimal differences. One X(AT&T, Rogers, Telus) vs One XL(everywhere else) have different band support and may have 16 or 32 gb storage.

2G: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

3G: 850, 900, 1900, 2100

4G: 800, 1800, 2600

Singtel in Singapore (One XL)

Vodafone in Germany (One XL)

Vodafone in France (One XL)

Vodafone in Switzerland (One XL)

o2 in Germany (One XL)

Deutsche Telekom in Germany (One XL)

Everything Everywhere in UK (One XL)

Orange in UK (One XL)

T-Mobile in UK (One XL)

Unbranded in Hong Kong (One XL)

Telstra in Australia (One XL)

2G: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

3G: 850, 1900, 2100

4G: 700, 1700, 2100

Telus in Canada (One X)

Rogers in Canada (One X)

AT&T in USA (One X)

The name would be better as "AT&T, Rogers, Telus HTC One X + HTC One XL" or similar.
