UPDATE: Got the user agent(ua string) in the settings menu! No longer need to do the framework-res.apk stuff. The new 4shared link is a modded browser.apk which you can choose between 5 user agents. Just rename the browser.apk in system/app to browser.apk.bak then move or copy the downloaded browser.apk to system/app and whola! you can install from there or just reboot (what I prefer) Again use root explorer or similar app to apply this. removed old link browser.apk is the new link in the above source file. works with Tweaked 3.1 (tested) and you can still use about:debug in the address bar for the remaining options

I like it... but I use an emulator at work that will not work in android mode...works only in desktop and both apple devices... so I am guessing it just makes it look like those operating systems cause I tried them with the emulator and gave the same errors as if still in android mode...and if you don't use an emulator... then who cares right?
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
Bit of a strange one.....

Phone was fine last night, replied to a text, checked my phone 10 minutes later and its not working, doesn't seem to be responding to the power button so was a little confused, no captive feedback, no lights or sounds. Battery was showing 62% prior.

It hasn't worked since.

Tried:

- Holding down the power to restart the phone.

- Holding down power and vol - to get into the bootloader

- Charged it for 10 hours (doesn't even indicate the LED)

- Tried connecting to a PC (and PC doesn't recognise it at all - again no LED)

The phone is an international one x. It is rooted and has been fine since August on root. Wasn't being used excessively or any stress that you would expect to cause a failure. Wasn't dropped or anything.

I'm stumped, had a search on here and can't find anything. So before i put an insurance claim in, does anyone have any suggestions? Battery failure? Motherboard failure?

Cheers
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
Try connecting your phone to your pc, see what Windows recognises it as

Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
It doesn't recognise it as anything and the led is not appearing on the phone.

Thanks

Phone is stuck in apx mode or something, you'll have to send it back for repair. I just did it 2 days ago, It's really worring because I'm seeing a lot of these cases but nobody has reported back to say what htc has done about it. I hope I don't get charged for it.
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
Is that likely to be software related? As Im giving a HTC rep a hard time on the Chat and he has stipulated the following (which i am tasking him about as i believe he is in accurate)

'Should our engineers find any physical damage, wear and tear, illegal software, illegal repair attempts or your warranty has expired, the repair will be chargeable and we will send you a quote via email.'

Well that covers every single warranty claim does it not?
[HTC One X] markb63:
Used to have this problem with my sensation xe,connect to pc and 're boot your bootloader,can't remember the exact commands.

Worth a try ..
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
Phone is dead send it to HTC ,they will repair it under warranty,HTC won't know anything because phone is DEAD
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
How do i know its 100% dead, can they do anything i can't? Also they can tell from my IMEI its rooted and will blame that as a way to avoid a warranty claim.
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
I have tried various ABD reboot commands (to my brief knowledge) and its non existent as far as a PC is concerned
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Mine wasn't non existent to my pc. When I connected it via usb my pc made a sound but not like the normal one and then windows said it couldn't install the drivers. So each time I connected it a strange exclamation mark was showing where normally it would show usb connected.

There is no wear and tear and not opened it but if they mean illegal software as in custom rom then I'm F***ed. So I'm not sure how they'll respond. Got a msg from three uk today saying they've received my device and are assessing it now. So that was two days of sending it in, not bad.

Think I might open a thread when I get it back letting everyone know the final outcome since I haven't seen anyone reporting on what similar experience they've had.
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
Again HTC has no chance in hell to know whatever happened to your phone ,they will change the motherboard ,end of story,please send it to HTC ,call them ,tell them phone is not respoding to anything,don't mention root or anything like that,they will arange pick-up ,HTC one x still has 16 months warranty, send it don't be a chicken;)

even mines stuck in apx mode..i also have given the phone to service centre...curiously all the post about apx mode have occured after they upgraded to jb.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
I never upgraded to JB so that debunks that myth, H3G_001 cid. I started experiencing massive lock-ups and force closures before it stopped responding (apx-mode). I have sent it in for repair now.
[HTC One X] kartiyk:
right then~ even i faced lot off errors just before it went dead....unfortunately i thought it to be a rom issue,but learnt my fate a few hours later !
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
Don't believe mine was an APX issue. Didnt get the 'APX Scfreen' that many describe or any kind of recognition from a PC either on the PC or the phone.

Phone was collected 2 hours ago. Will advise when i hear from them. If not i will put an insurance claim in through my phone insurance.
[HTC One X] kartiyk:
apx screen doesnt show up in our phones. when you connect the device through usb it will show up as drivers not avaialable or so.and apx will be shown in device manager window
[HTC One X] night walker:
I have same problem with my One X. Phone is now in service and I wait to see what will be with my phone. I also have many problems with some apps, IGO stop to work, Google maps also and when I try to open quadrant standard my phone turn off display and died :crying: .

I am from Europa (Serbia) I bought brand new phone from a guy who brought it from Singapore (don´t have warranty). Phone is CID - 044 and Asia_WWE. My friend have phone service and yesterday he try everything and nothing, today will try with something what he called "BOX"
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
This is getting scary because the exact same thing is happening to many of us now and around the same time. I accepted a quote from three uk yesterday of £76 to repair it. The three service centre chap said due to illegal software they were not able to flash it. I am very saddened that I won't be able to flash from now on.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
If Three UK supplied your phone, you shouldn't have to pay. Consumer protection laws.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
But they knew I'd put illegal software on it. I'm sure they just connected it to their pc got a nod from htc and that sorted that problem out. 76 quid please for looking at it.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
What do you mean "illegal software", does it break any UK laws? No? Then it's not "illegal". Your retailer is responsible for supplying a device free from defects for a reasonable amount of time, I would suggest that is no shorter than a phone contract. This is clearly a hardware defect. If you don't know your rights, I suggest you learn.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Thanks for you suggestion, I may not know consumer rights as some do but if I fight them now then I may not get my phone back so quickly next friday. After I've received it I'm going to write to them. I don't believe that I should have to pay some service centre to look at my device that they say had illegal software on. What once was a perfectly working as good as new phone to a complete brick, something smells fishy here.
[HTC One X] night walker:
I did not install any custom ROM on my phone, only original HTC updates. I download and install apps from play store and how you can see my phone died!

I'll buy a new phone, but this time no no HTC, maybe Samsung galaxy s3!
[HTC One X] MacSeoin:
What ROM was everyone running?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
When you pay, tell them you're paying under protest.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
ARHD 9.7.1

+1 Will do!
[HTC One X] night walker:
This momen, my friend who try to fix my phone call me and told me that my phone is definitely dead! :crying:

We have one more solution and that is to try to fix it in the HTC service center (change motherboard), but the repair will be more than 200 €.

I think I will phone buried in the garden and save 200 € for new Samsung Galaxy S3.

After reading this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1993044 I think I will not buy the S3.

How we say in my country which bitten by snakes and lizard fears.

Maybe I'll just buy a LG Optimus 4X
[HTC One X] bemc19:
I tried it before

The reason was the motherboard was dead. Give HTC to fix it:D
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
I was using ARHD 17.1

Fingers crossed mine is the motherboard and they replace it F.O.C.
[HTC One X] night walker:
Can Quadrant Standard kill my phone?
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
lol

They replaced my whole phone. I was expecting my old one back because they told me it was software related but I got a letter saying they replaced a circuit board. Instead I got a brand new phone! :victory:
[HTC One X] folliclekev:
I have had the same problem with one of two HOX quad cores WWE with CID HTC_044

Unfortunately it was a grey import. I dropped it off for repair at supplier warehouse November 29th and still have not received it back.

I am in Australia and the last response from supplier, Topbuy, says it will be returned after January 2nd.

By the time I receive it back, it will be at least six weeks since the problem arose.

HTC don't want to know about it as it is an unlocked grey import. In Australia they only deal with Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

As I only buy unlocked phones I wont be buying HTC again.

Google "HTC warranty problems" if you want to read some horror stories, there is also a dedicated facebook page with the same title.
[HTC One X] tombriden:
Same thing happened to me the other day. I'm on hboot 1.39 (by manually flashing firmware.zip) and flashed trips cm 4.2 rom and was restoring my backups with Titanium when it froze. Held power for 10secs, it turned off and no response since. Windows sees it as an apx device, and on Linux nvflash --sync seems to see it but gives a usb write error. I've been unlocked and flashing regularly since I got the phone in April so I'd be surprised if it was related to custom software or kernels. If it was software related htc service would presumably just flash back to stock in apx mode rather than replace the motherboard? Guess I'll have to try and get it repaired under warranty, hopefully for free.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijav:
Hi I'm gonna root my phone using a file which can do it with stock recovery i just wanted to ask does it void my warranty?

How the company can understand that my warranty void?

does flashing a stock rom void my warranty?

how about insurance?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycruzer:
warranty void

Any rooting will void warranty.

Samsung would know it if you do send it in rooted for claims purposes.

However root can be undone. Just flash stock rom will unroot your device.

Suggest you read, read and read for more info....

Good luck and happy rooting... :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijav:
I know how to unroot with adb or terminal, ... I just wanted to make sure how exactly the Samsung company will find out my warranty is voided?

also I read somewhere about this that Samsung has a file every rom that flashed will add a number in this file so the Samsung will find out if you flash a rom or not, in that case if I even flash a stock rom it will void my warranty! if not then nothing will do as i can flash my rom (as I have already a backup) anytime! Right?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrayA4T:
I know the perception out there is that rooting will void your warranty but this is not necessarily the case. You can always flash back to stock. Rooting can't damage the hardware so if they try not to fix/replace failed hardware because of rooting you could probably due them. Most rooting/firmware changes don't touch the download mode stop you should always be able to flash to stock.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycruzer:
Okay... let me try to explain further to your question...

Firstly... I dont know how exactly Samsung will now if you are rooted or not... They must have some software or hardware to check that. I know that there is an app to check wether you are rooted or not. Maybe they use that app...:p

Secondly... my guess is you are referring to the flashing counter... Normally when rooted, this will be bypassed, so you can flash and reflash any rom you like, any number of times you like. (Actually, I've not seen this counter in my P6800... I might be wrong, but in SGS3 yes, I've seen it)

Hope this clarify further...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBStreamer:
Hello,

I'm posting here because, I'm not sure how to continue since everything I did failed miserably.

Sunday, 16 December, wanting to get back to Jellyebean, I flash CM10 Nightly 16/12/12 from CM9 (I used to be on the nightlies, but due to simlock I revert to CM9).

Monday, 17 December, the phone is running well, one simlok. But I downloaded a file with Chrome : it weighted 0kB, impossible to delete (said it doesn't exist). Well, I'll fix the problem later though I try with terminal emulator, remote connection...

Tuesday, 18 December, the phone was awake, but when I launched some big download, it froze. I try to reboot, stuck at Samsung Logo.

I try to go to recovery, impossible to flash.

Try to format, starting from cache/, seems to fail.

Today, I tried to flash multiple original firmware, PIT (with repartition...), kernel... no success : doesn't fail but lasts too much (only PIT worked twice).

I followed this guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

but i'm stuck for more minutes than necessary at step 6.

Now, I can't go to recovery, but download mode is still okay.

I'm not ready to flash the bootloader since I couldn't pass the previous step.

What can I do ? :crying:

Thanks in advance.

Louis
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
This sounds bad.

If you ar on warranty, go to a service center (or the shop where you have bought the phone) and ask for a repair/replacement.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBStreamer:
Well... second problem as it's a second hand device.

If I have no warranty, what could be the cost of a reparation ?

Thanks in advance,

Louis
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Repair costs will vary depending on how much parts/labor costs are in your country. Contact Samsung by email (go to their website) if you want them/an authorised repairer to fix it, or take the phone to a couple of local mobile repair shops & have them take a look at it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBStreamer:
Okay, it came back.

I got a quote "repair internal battery" : 95€ (126$).

I was told they changed the motherboard.

Anyway, now, it seems to work, they flashed the last version 4.0.4 (not the original baseband though).

But the funnier is now I have a unique serial number :

00000

How bad can it be ? :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
All 4.0.4 releases from Samsung have that bug where serial number is displayed as all zeroes. It is only the display in the About Phone screen though. The serial number is in fact, intact. If you were to flash back to 4.0.3 or earlier, the serial number would be back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBStreamer:
Oh okay :)

Thanks a lot for the precision.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisagatie:
I am new to Samsung, coming from HTC Desire. And got into bizarre already ;))

A couple of days ago noticed a strange problem with photos in galery unreadable, appearing to be corrupt (all of them on external sd, internal sd photos are displayed properly). Then today happened that Music app couldn't play music files on external SD.

Read countless of similar issues on the internet, with lots of people blaming on the sd card. However, I found that it is not the case.

Put into a SD card reader and plug into PC, the files on SD card are all ok.

Put back card into phone and investigated further. First I thought maybe it's a problem with SD card reader in the phone. BUT! Noticed files are perfectly visible in ES File Explorer, and even display correctly when using Gallery App to open them from ES file explorer. But if Gallery is opened first, it cannot display files.

I'm sure somebody else happened the same, since the internet is full with such reports regarding Galaxy devices (even S1 and Note alike), but anyone identified the sorce of the problem and eventually solved it? I would be very much interested.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Try to run Rescan Media app from Play store.

Maybe your media scanner service does not work properly and needs to refresh the list of media files on your sd card.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisagatie:
rescan is done automatically every reboot. doesn't help. thanx anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisagatie:
investigated further and found out that the files are not corrupt, but the libraries of Music app and Gallery app created duplicated empty files (in fact 2 fake entries in library for every valid file on the card). Duplicate files don't exist physically on SD card, only in libraries of the two applications.

Already tried formatting cache and dalvik cache, but to no avail...

ICS 4.0.4 Orange Romania (BVLPH) stock ROM.

Later EDIT: This was an easy one. Unmounted SD Card and open Gallery app and Music app. Then re-mount SD Card, both apps will refresh libraries, wait a while for media scan in the background and voila: duplicate files disappear, everything is in god order.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
I had a similar problem where both gallery and music files were duplicated, but the duplicates were unreadable.

My solution was Settings -> Applications -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data.

This forced a refresh and everything turned normal again.

Slightly annoying that the media scan data is stored under a separate application and not within the data of the gallery or music player applications, but once I discovered this it was an easy fix.

Solution for P895

Hi,

I found a solution.

Downgrade to V10C with the following guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861854

Get the correct version (v10c) from here: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP895/ANEUBK/V10c_00/V10C_00.kdz

Step 8 works with the same settings for P985: The o type must be "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"

You now can obtain root with: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Then it's possible to do the software update and remain root.

Have fun :)

[General Questions and Answers] Papalapa:
In fact I want to install an European firm because each time I phone someone a message saying "Call to Korea or Call to Local" is shown and I must press Local option to avoid international call.

Also, each time I turn on the phone I have to select "Roaming Active" and "Do not restrict Roaming calls" because the phone thinks that is out of Korea and needs this confirmation for extra call charges.

Even choosing Catalan or Spanish keyboard the layout is different from the rights ones used here in Europe.

At least, there are some messages from some installed apps in Korean that I want to eliminate and this is not possible because there's no way to make root this phone.

That's what I want to install an european firm, as you can see the languaje is the less important of my "problems" ;)
