Have any of you heard a rattle coming from your LGOG? Maybe around the camera or volume rocker buttons? I thought it was my sim tray at first but the rattle is still there even when I take the sim and tray out. I had an iPhone before and I know that the camera in them rattled a bit and it was normal. Any insights?
[LG Optimus G (International)] qjai:
Could be the vibrator or power key
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
The camera lense
[LG Optimus G (International)] chromatome:
I'm thinking it was the vibrate motor now. I heard it this morning but now it's disappeared. Quite strange.
[LG Optimus G (International)] neno2323:
Power button mine does it to but not that bad ...
[LG Optimus G (International)] Metsuna:
Rattle in mine too. Seems to be normal.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kc_exactly:
I am pretty sure it is the rotor on the vibration motor. I use to fix watches at a jewelry store. Automatic watches have a similar rotor that spins to tighten the main spring. If you shake a watch with this system you can hear the motor spinning on the bearing.

It most phones this is completely unnoticeable. But, it seems quite apparent in this one. It could be that the tolerances in this bearing are looser. Anyways, gently shake the phone next to your ear. You will hear it. I am in the CDMA version for Sprint and I have the same sound. The nexus 4 probably does too.
[LG Optimus G (International)] rxxt:
I just purchased a Optimus G E975 today, and i clearly have a rattle noise, I have try to hold down both the power and the volume keys but the rattle is still there!

I do not hope that it is a manufacturing defect..?

There is a thread more about it here:

Why are you guys so worried about this? All phones have this. It sounds or feels louder/stronger on glass backed phones. The iTurd 4/4s both had the rattle as well.

Alright guys, I am posting out of desperation.

I am no pro when it comes to rooting/unlocking/ROMming Android phones but I have read myself to death and I am not getting anywhere. I am almost willing to send this phone to someone who knows what they are doing. I really don't feel like buying another phone. In hindsight, I should've made sure I was getting a true unbranded HOX.

I bought an unlocked, AT&T One X from Amazon while I was in Afghanistan. Received the phone via APO, put in my Roshan SIM card, and was working fine. I traveled extensively in the past few months, all over the Middle East and South Asia, phone was working fine, I just picked up a local sim card and off I went.

Well then I went back to the US for the first time with this phone. Put in my TMobile SIM, and was working fine as well. Well now I left the country again, and now I can't pick up any networks at all. I have changed the radio via the USSD to GSM, WCDMA, everything, but can't pick up any networks. Keep in mind I also still have my SIM card that I bought when I was here. I insert the card, it says preparing sim card, etc, but won't find any networks.

How do I know if the phone is still SIM unlocked? Woulnd't it prompt me for an unlock code when I insterted the foreign SIM again? Do I need to root? Does my bootloader need to be unlocked to use any SIM?

What I was figuring I would try to do was flash a different ROM so I don't have to worry about this being an AT&T phone anymore. When I boot into the bootloader, it says LOCKED at the top with S-ON. There has never been an update done to the phone since I got it.

Things i've tried:

Any root for 1.85 ( I have tried every root for 1.85 you can search for on here)

RUU to update to 2.2 (says main battery power low, but it isn't)

Factory Reset

I really don't care so much to get a new ROM, I just want my phone to work. Here is what I get in the info page on the phone:

The bootloader says HBOOT 1.09 is installed

Kernel Version:

3.0.8-01155-gca24d1e

root@ABM030 #1

SMP PREEMPT

Build Number

1.85.502.3_R2 CL63811 release-keys

Sense 4.0

Android 4.0.3

Software Number

1.85.502.3 710RD

If you need any more info let me know but I am dying here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Sim unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. I don't think either has anything to do with the other.

Assuming you bought this from a legit seller on Amazon, factory unlocked is factory unlocked. I've never heard of a phone getting sim locked from putting in a sim card. If you didn't get a "input unlock code" the first time, your phone isn't sim locked and is not locked down to AT&T.

Before you can root, though, you have to unlock the bootloader. That's why your root attempts keep failing. You want to stay on 1.85, trust me--later firmware is more locked down.

Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the other sim card you got? Have you tried a new one?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Frosty288:
Really? The bootloader has to be unlocked before you can root? I definitely thought it was the other way around. I guess that would explain it, then..

What I actually ended up doing was repeatably trying the RUU, and finally got it to take the 2.2FW upgrade. As soon as that happened, I was pulling down 4G like nobodies business. Though, now that i've read your post, I kind of wish I would've stuck with trying to get a new ROM on it, instead of upgrading. I really have no idea why a FW upgrade made the radio start working like magic, or what would casue that at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Frosty288:
Progress is swift. I rooted using the 2.2 xfactor exploit and then unlocked the bootloader with the spoofed CID, now as soon as I figure it out I will install CleanROM 5.1..Hope I don't brick it!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
As long as you stay in this forum, these phones are tough to brick. The only way to do it is to flash roms for the international (Tegra 3) version.

Note that on 2.20., you have to flash the boot.img in fastboot when you flash a rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hyun18:
Youll never brick your phone as long as you have access to the bootloader or recovery lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
If he wants cleanrom he won't have to be confused with fastboot. Just download rom and flash that sucker
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Do NOT RUU to 2.20! (never mind too late).

Looks like you figured things out.

[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
3 voltage tables exist in our kernel. Which table is used is based on QFuses that are blown. Based on the code, there are 4 "classes" of CPUs: Slow, Nominal, Fast, and Faster. The decision on which table is used is based on results from reading QFuses. I am going to make the ASSUMPTION that some testing happens at manufacturing/testing stage and fuses are blown based on the results.

The tables dictate a 50mv difference from slow to nominal and another 50mv from nominal to fast.

Example: @ 384mhz, a "slow" cpu is @ 950mv, a "nominal" cpu is @ 900mv, and a "fast" cpu is @ 850mv.

You can find how your CPU is binned by booting into (non-stock) recovery and running:

adb shell dmesg | grep PVS

This information is important when comparing voltage tweaks and overclock/undervolt successes and failures. Note that non-stock kernels "may" be able to produce false results, but I don't believe any kernel devs are doing that (yet).

It would be fun to see everyone's results here.

[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
I've got a "Slow" one too .. :(

Maybe I need a refurb!
[HTC Droid DNA] 18th.abn:
Whether slow or fast, the clock speed of each processor remains the same, slow rated processors just require a higher voltage to be stable. Faster is still the same clock speed, but needs less voltage for stability. So a fast processor, SHOULD be able to reach a higher clock speed overall if, both a fast, and slow were pushed to their stable limits.
[HTC Droid DNA] hicks12:
Sorry to jump on this thread (dont even own the phone... looking at the UK equivalent if my N4 doesnt arrive :P) but I would not worry if you are on the lower end of this scale slow,normal,fast simply because this is part of EVERY processor packaging process.

Essentially when we are testing chips to check for faulty ones we then bin them and the rest test where we find the operating frequencies and other information, I assume this is what QUALCOMM are doing in that they do this extra test and then slap it on the package what it actually got so if it can operate at 1.5GHZ at 1V then it is in the nominal range but if it operates only at .9V it is fast or 1.1 is slow but still in their range of specs needed.

Normally you wouldnt see this information and its only important for people running it out of spec i.e overclocking because the spec is simply a minimum and HTC simply requested X which operating within X of accepted voltages. It is nice to know though as it saves you going through trial and error at finding out what your device specifically can handle in undervolting and overvolting.

The ones that are classed as SLOW may still reach the speeds of a FAST chip however there will be fairly noticeable defficencies in that die so you will be battling with voltages, I cant say how much more as there is no simple yes or no but I reckon you would still get there just dont get hopeful for 2ghz overclocks on stock volts :D.

Cant wait for this phone to hit the UK it looks pretty solid, just hoping it will be good in the dev department as I havent had a HTC since the HD2 which was awesome :P. Enjoy your phones guys :).

easy method would be

adb wait-for-device shell dmesg | grep PVS

@All,

Have any of you started UVing. If so, is there any base UV which works for all faster chips. I think it'd be great, if we could have a database containing info about safe UV values for each binning. Of course, exceptions will be there. Have heard of -175mv on all speeds working for a person with slower binned CPU. But, still this would be a great start. What do you say guys.

Hope OP can include that? Or do we need a separate thread for that?

[HTC Droid DNA] Funkym0nkey:
I am running. -100mv (1050mv at 1.5Ghz) across whole range on my fast cpu. Perfectly stable. My friend's faster can't handle 1050mv at 1.5Ghz. So take this with pinch of salt as far as actual ability of chip is concerned.

From my Droid DNA, right in your face....
[HTC Droid DNA] neatojones:
It could just be improved production processes. For instance, I have a "faster" cpu. I am able to run at 1.5 stable at 950mV. Actually, everything is stable at -200mV from stock and running without any hiccups right now. That said, all of the lowest speeds (up to 1Ghz) are sitting at 800mV (doesn't go any lower on my current kernel). 1.7 is running just fine at 1100mV.

Edit:

I've tested those settings on other ROMs, and they seem to only be able to go to -175/187mV. So, even those settings seem to be a little rom dependent.

[HTC Droid DNA] blackstallion:
From my understanding, the SoC in the HTC One (M7) is the new Snapdragon 600 which uses a Krait 300 processor (up to 1.9 GHz) while our DNA uses the "older" S4 Pro SoC which uses the regular Krait processor (up to 1.7 GHz).

And to answer people's concerns about how these designations affect their phone i.e. slow, nominal, fast, faster, it just has to do with how much voltage is required to make the processor stable at frequency, so the slow processor's will require a higher voltage to attain stability...real world affects for normal users may be worse battery life, but my guess is you wouldn't even notice it.

[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
A note of warning

My CPU binned as faster. Based on that, I used for Kernel Tuner pro to decrease the voltage. I dropped the voltage 12.5 millivolt at a time for all frequencies. When I reached 100 mV, my phone crashed. On rebooting the system was corrupted. Dirty flashing didn't help. Several apps appeared to be uninstalled. I had to format system and reflash Viper, but lost all data since the prior back up. Lessons are that CPU binning as faster does not guarantee ultra low voltage and do a full nandroid backup before playing with undervolting (duh, I know).
