[HTC One X] WITHOUTHTCONEX:
Hello,

I just came back to Japan and I am currently not signed up with any cellular provider yet. (Also I DO NOT have old cellphone sim...)

I REALLY want to get HTC OneX in Japan... Sim Free 32GB International version with Tegra 3.

HTC-S720e-32GB

My question is when I went to Docomo they told me that they will only let me use it if they will find some sort of a stamp... which means that it has been cleared to used in Japan...

Has anybody just bought HTC One X International version in Japan and got signed with a cellular provider without problems?

I know if I had a sim I could probably cut it, but I want to know if I could just go to Docomo and get a micro Sim from them and use it normally...

Has anybody tested this on Docomo or any other provider in Japan?

Please let me know, I've been drooling for this phone and I'm afraid that I will be unable to use it if I buy it... /:

Also I don't understand this whole business with APN stuff...

//

So basically my question is can I just go with that sim free HTC one X to any provider in Japan and get my Sim... put it in and just enjoy my phone... or they are going to refuse to give me the sim?

Has anyone made any progress with Google Wallet? I've seen a couple threads from a few weeks ago about it, but it didn't seem like anyone has gotten it working then. I was able to install it from the play store, but it still says its on an unsupported device. Do we need to wait until S-OFF so we can edit files for it to work?
[HTC Droid DNA] mracrawford:
I am also wondering this same thing. I've seen that they've gotten it working on the Note 2 to an extent. Problems are two different beasts but if they can get it going I don't see why we cannot
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
**SOLVED** i'm hoping!

it doesn't always happen but I noticed sometimes my screen glitches out after I take a picture and goto view it in gallery. it gets some weird lines through it, and hitting home does nothing. must turn screen off then on for it to return to norm. seems weird... i have force 2d rendering checked in dev options.. going to turn that off now and see if it still does it. but it's a weird little glitch. has anyone else seen this before?

ok I turned off 2d rendering and it still does it. It's as if the screen just fades out into black, and that's that... it's every time you take a pic and then hit the gallery icon to see the last pic.. image sense bug maybe?

--------------

i'm so glad that i think i figured this out.

i had my screen animations set to 0.5x instead of the stock 1.0, which nobody else probably did, that's why even HTC couldn't replicate this problem when i told them. here's a video of what happens when this does it. i'm pretty sure it has to do with screen animations...i hope, anyway.

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
I've never had this happen to me before
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
it's very weird. it seems as if when you hit the gallery icon, the screen just fades out. now, it's not a screen problem, as it won't happen in any other app, so i don't believe it's hardware. i believe it's just a small little glitch. i've since reset my phone for the first time since friday, so maybe that would fix it, who knows. haven't noticed it yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
anyone get this yet?? it happens if you quickly tap the gallery icon after taking a pic to review it. the screen fades out and you have to turn screen off then on to work again. touching the screen in this period does things.. like i did the drop down motion when my screen went black, and hit where settings would be. then I shut screen off, turned on, unlocked and bam, i was in settings.
[HTC Droid DNA] bigpapax:
I have tried to replicate this, but cannot.
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
damn. i really hope I don't have a bad phone. It doesn't happen always, and it's just a minor annoyance. it seems to me like a software bug switching between the camera and the gallery really quick. i'll make a video ASAP to show ya guys

Murphy's law - It worked the umpteenth time I tried. /smackshead This thread can be deleted...

------------------------------------------

I tried the root method by mrRobinson explained in the [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel] thread, but when I went to apply the new image via Odin, after I pressed start, I got the above outcome.

It looks like someone in the how-to thread had a similar issue, but the proposed solution of "pressing the vol. up button" didn't do anything for me. So has anyone else had this issue, and do they have another way to fix it? Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tanhumanpostit:
Just saying it would be awesome to see someone take advantage of this huge screen and making it more efficient in going back and forth opening new apps and such in multiwindow or maybe even a hole new UI could help make this possible so that it's easier to manage and switch thru the open windows?

Am I the only one who thinks so or have I gone bananas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveid:
Regardless of the sanity of your request, this is not the place for it... and as such be prepared to have this moved/removed by a mod, of course not till several other people come in here to berate you.

In the future use the General or Q&A section for non-actual-development related threads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] twolfekc:
Please move this thread!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brashmadcap:
Whatever happened to needing a minimum of 10 posts before you could post in a dev section?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mscion:
I think this is a perfectly legitimate place for his post. This is a Q&A section, he has several concerns about the GN2 and as a result he is asking whether he has gone bananas...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] twolfekc:
He posted it in the dev section
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mscion:
Sorry. My bad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darksurf:
Somebody has to be working on this. This is getting kinda irritating. Listen to music, flash black lines, watch movies, flash black lines, type notes in supernote, flash blacklines. Not a big deal in terms of performance, just an irritating bother for a $600 tablet!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
doesn't bother me but I only paid $500 for mine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
;) I laughed.

I have them as well, and while I would like them to pack up and leave, I concur with the OP that it is not a deal breaker of any sort.

I can't remember having them on ICS -- would this be a JB thing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Only happens to me very rarely, only when browsing, once or twice a day at most. Never in games, films, music or documents...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Working on it?-- That implies that they still care about us. They don't. I have almost 50 of these that I support, all have the issue and even after working with Tien and Gary to get a resolution.... they have given me absolutely nothing as far as support goes.

They have suggested cold boots and factory resets... that is all. And NO, those actions fix NOTHING.

Tien... you even abandoned my support call..

Last communication that I had with him was this on 11/7:

Hi Jordan,

Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to inform you that we have passed all this information back to HQ so they can test and figure out a solution. I am confident, with all the material we've supplied, that they can duplicate and figure something out. I just want to thank you for sticking through this. Hopefully the new firmware update will address all these issues.

Tien

Tien,

I am assuming by now that you or your company has been able to reproduce the graphics issues, reboots and issues that have been happening with the TF700. If you are having trouble with that, there are large groups of users getting these problems, documented here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1811538&page=14

Please let me know what asus plans to do to resolve these issues. Again, these are company machines that are relied on everyday as a primary work space for some. Please email me asap to let me know a time frame that I can expect some sort of resolution.

Jordan

SO-- a month ago was the last response, despite emailing him on 12/1 for an update-- got nothing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
Yeah its a JB thing. ICS was fine. I'm sure the fix will be out soon :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
I was having them, but didn't notice any since the update I got today. I *think* they fixed it... I'm looking for somebody to confirm that I'm not dreaming... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I've never noticed them. When and how do they appear?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dishinit:
I confirm, no black flashing lines post 23 update on JB
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
From time to time, a black horizontal line flashes across the screen, usually in the upper third (at least when I noticed), seems to be random. Looks like a GPU driver issue (maybe NVidia's fault?) because it appeared first with the JB updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ologn:
Need the display to be mostly white, then just wait. It's real quick maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a second.

I see this once every couple minutes on cleanRom 2.7.x
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Good. Then I'm not crazy... I think I saw one... But it's hardly noticeable now. It's way better than before. This is good! Thanks Asus for this one. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Hardly noticeable?... why can't they just be gone already?!?!
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Well, I'm there with you on this one, but for me it went from unbearable to just annoying. But yeah, there are still there. I just noticed one 2 mins ago.

So thank you Asus, but don't sit on this one yet cause it's still an unresolved issue........
[Asus Transformer TF700] dishinit:
Yep, correction on my earlier report of none after 23 update, thought I saw one last night, know I saw one this morning, no developers options ticked.

But frequency and duration greatly reduced....still needs more work though.

I concur with above poster, still not totally resolved
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Definitely less than last update, but still there every once in a while.

Thanks for the improvement, but keep looking.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darksurf:
There was an update yesterday?! OMG, I hope CROMI Dev picks it up soon! Its soo irritating. Certain apps seem to trigger it more often than others! I'm using CROMI 2.7.2 .
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I'm pretty sure sbdags is applying his magic as we speak. ;) He has a lot to go over, so give it a few days. I do hope the new update remedies it to a large extent, because they are annoying.

The remark of "no developer options ticked" seems to deny me the pleasure of disabling 2D GPU GUI rendering and seeing them leave automagically. I had that idea yesterday evening -- well, I'm going to try anyway. (If it should somehow work out, that'd be a strong lead to suspect a driver issue. Damn you, NVIDIA! ;) )

PS: are we all on CROMI? (Me: v2.7.2) I guess stock ROM is no different to all intents and purposes as far as the black line issue goes. Do any of the people in here that use AOSP/AOKP/CM10 have them too?
[Asus Transformer TF700] yohojones:
My Nexus 7 used to do this as well. I think it's a problem with the Tegra 3 while the wifi is being used. I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 7 since 4.2 though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Interesting suggestion! I hadn't noticed anuyhthing partiucular in connection with the WiFi being on while the problem occurred. I am curious to see if I can ''fix'' this myself. Anoter workaround for an -- essentially -- hardware issue? (If you are correct, and that carries a rather high probablility, you'd suspect the Tegra3 to be susceptible to some kind of EMF reception and static build-up internally or something,. Ugh, another unsolvable issue to contend with. ;) And still I like this device very much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
Seems like it is on the top third of the screen indeed. I also think it might be (Tegra) drivers related...

Still Asus should be able to fix this!

Maybe we should all start a facebook page and like it, send it Asus so they know just how many people are taking the black lines as a serious issue!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
My lines start in the middle of the screen and move quickly up. If you use the 700MHz GPU kernel the lines are moving much faster :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] scott.m:
Does this happen on custom rom jb as well? I have flickering black lines all the time, homescreen and browser are most obvious spots

Would be interesting to know if a person has flashed a custom jb rom after experiencing this issue in stock. It would narrow down if its asus's problem, or if its google/nvidia driver or something
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
Yes, I am on CleanRom and I have the line as well. As mentioned earliervin this thread, it might be a driver issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ready2Mosh:
My black line is gone but I have a different issue now, my screen shifts about an 1/8 of the screen to the right for a split second, weird. This its really the only issue I've run into since the last update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] usern ameisval idandnot:
As I said earlier in this thread:

Cleanrom 2.7.2 made all my graphic issues go away.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blairware:
ummm. Actually no, you didn't.

I had to go read the entire thread again, and while I saw a few comments that stated they DID have black lines with CleanROM 2.7.2, I saw nothing from you stating that you didn't. Are you sure you didn't just dream that part? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Also, CROMI v2.7.2 still gets me my daily shovel-full of black lines across the screen. ;) Not a big problem, but nonetheless...And indeed this was your first post in this thread, ameisval, -- what had you been smoking? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
Never see them over HDMI

This may be a stupid thing to point out but I have never seen them through the HDMI output. Might that at least refine where the problem is coming from?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Mine seem to be getting significantly worse over time. Started out fairly rare one latest update, seem to be increasinf]g.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dc_01:
hi there, allow me one remark, as the black flickering lines do not appear with ICS, a hardware issue can be excluded i guess. i only saw the lines with JB that is why i returned to ICS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Grgirard:
flicker in cm10?

Does anyone know if the dreaded black lines are in cm10 or any other ROMs? I may root and flash just to get rid of them if this is so. It would be worth voiding the warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bluemgt06:
I'm running CleanRom 3.2.2 and I don't see the lines unless I put my tablet in powersave and then it's rare if I see one. If I use an app to disable some of the CPUs I see them alot more when I'm in powersave. I haven't looked recently but the tablets black lines totally freak out when I plug in HDMI sometimes, as in 100's of lines flickering on the screen at once but only on the tablet the TV is fine and it only seems to happen when I'm on the launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I just spotted the black line three times on my SGS3 in Officesuite Pro. (they were gone REALLY fast) Not exactly a TF700 issue, then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soul TKR:
I notice them a lot when I'm in the Yahoo Mail app
[Asus Transformer TF700] king231:
I'd say that the black lines are almost gone. I wouldn't even notice one in 2 days but I do notice. Today I rotated the tablet from landscape to potrait mode while a page was loading on chrome and there was some line there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soul TKR:
That's when I've noticed them as well...
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Seriously, what black lines? I have never seen anything at all. I am completely stock in every way, not even rooted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] king231:
Probably you are a lucky one to not have them. Almost everyone here has the same problem. Even if you ever knew about this problem it was difficult to notice it and the recent updates have made it almost disappear.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Are you still on ICS firmware? The black lines started to appear with the JB update.

Try the "Black Hole" live wallpaper (preview is enough) - whatever it does, it makes the flickering line appear every few seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Even if you think you don't have them... as many people have tried to argue... you do. Some people are just not observant enough to catch them, or rarely do activities that make them obvious. So frustrating that this issue is still present.

FYI- if you have JB- you have this issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I am on the latest firmware, .25, but now I see what you mean when I tried the "Black Hole" live wallpaper. To be honest, as I have already posted, I have never seen these black lines before until you told me about the preview. Does not seem to create any problems at all, I'd still prefer to see ASUS working on the browser crashing issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jamteck:
Still no fix? Wtf

This stupid black line issue has been haunt me for a year now and still no fix. It's got to be a hardware problem because I flashed many rooms now on cm11.0 latest nightlys and it still shows up.

I wish someone would fix this. Hope that it's not a hardware problem.

Thanks just like to complain :-/
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Not very surprising that CM 11 is also affected, since it must rely on the same binary drivers as the 4.2 stock ROM. It's a timing issue - either in the drivers or in the hardware.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jamteck:
Need a fix

Thanks for the quick response :)

So who can fix this problem? Is it only Asus or can developers fix these black lines?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
So far only asus can but they never showed that they wanted to fix it as it has been identified a long time ago and even after several asus stock rom updates it's still here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I picked up my Note 2 on Friday night and leaving the mall I put it in my pocket. I then made the mistake of putting my keys in the same pocket and put two large scratches in the middle of the screen.

I thought these screens were nearly bullet proof???

I putt a Zagg screen protector on it yesterday and you can just barely see the scratches, but I know they are there....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lt23:
1st bold: stupid

2nd bold: source?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
These screens are not bullet proof, they're just really hard, and follow very basic laws of nature, ie. Material A will scratch Material B, if Material A is harder. So, never take your phone to the beach either as the miniscule pieces of quartz in the sand will lay waste to your phone too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I agree, absolutely stupid and not something I normally do. But its just strange to me that three keys, none of which are particularly sharp scratched the screen in the 15 to 20 minutes they were in my pocket with the phone. My previous phone (Galaxy S2) was pretty well abused over the time I had it, and it still does not have a single scratch on the screen.

Just seems odd to me. And wanted this to be a warning to others that the screens are not as hard as we might otherwise think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
Wow , that really sucks man . I'd have a ill panic attack if that happaned to me. It would literally make me for over another 650 to buy a new phone knowing those scratches were there within hours of buying it . :/ I hope you bought the Ins plan? Sorry for your loss sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shahkam:
Dude its some scratch not a total loss but yeah i always make sure i that when i put my devices in my pocket there is nothing in it and other pocket for keys etc..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
You have at least 14 days to return or exchange the device. Just go back and exchange the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
Why so they can keep increasing pricing ! No he needs to deal with it only return if it's a valid reason. Sorry to hear your screen is scratched though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _atlien_:
LOL people. Are we talking family lost in war or are we still talking about phones here? Phones that still work perfectly and are basically still pristine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GNOTE2:
What?...you normally talk about phones here actually.,... not "lost family" or issues as such! Dude...if you want to ... go talk on CNN forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shahkam:
Lol'd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
It's your own fault dude. Gorilla glass never claimed to be scratch proof, its is more flexible than regular glass and stronger. I for one, always put a high end screen protector before I even turn device on. I call it "insurance".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
No need to fault anyone. The individual already knowledge fault. You like some people I know in my life. Rip a hole into the person even after they ripped a hole into themselves. Doing nothing more than being annoying.

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant. Which is why manufacturers use Gorilla glass. And why some people think of it as "bullet proof". Of course it is not "bullet proof" or scratch proof. Nothing better educator than experience.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

What are we going to do with you. You are in this: "Everyone at fault for devices costing higher and insurance costing higher" thing.

It is up to the store, in the mall, that chooses to take it back or not. Not that many get returned or exchanged in the grace time. And with the price deals that T-Mobile get they can afford it without spreading the cost to us.

The insurance thing is a different story from this grace time. Still $130 to $175 to replace a $699 device is a deal for the customers. Which means that the insurance business is still make very good profit. If it is worth it to you all depends on when the device is damaged/stolen or when you are planning to get another device. Saying to people not to return to repair or get replacement (after the grace time period) is like telling people to not go to the hospital because that will make your insurance higher. People should be able to go to the hospital even if they caused the problem. That is the price you pay in getting insurance yourself. This is the same with Cellular device insurance. If don't like this then don't have insurance and pay full price for each and every device. Then, for right or wrong, others are not effecting you.

When it comes to T-Mobile at 2013 on charging full price for devices: That has nothing to do with users "abusing" the system. T-Mobile is taking out the cost of the device from the monthly rates. So after spending $699 for a device you will get a lower cost monthly rate. And at the end save around $200 within two years of using that one device on the value plan. So stop blaming others for T-Mobile changing their business methods.

Of course you going to rip me a new one on this. I can hear now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DKM119:
Quick question in the insurance, let's say i lost my phone, when I pay the 130 or 175 and I get the new phone, do I still have the same phone number or I get a new number?
