No, stock ROM. Maybe because I disabled all the Chinese (and some more) apps? Disabled them through the system's own mechanism (the one that works without unlocking / rooting), though.
[HTC Droid DNA] red_trela:
Re-enabling all disabled apps didn't help either. Maybe I need to unroot it? Would that make any sense at all? oO

Hmm...there's hints on the internet regarding other HTC Android devices, that to apply an OTA update you need either:

S-OFF or

A (re)-locked bootloader

Re-locking or at least re-unlocking will wipe (factory reset) the device, so that sucks. And S-OFF is not yet available AFAIK, though there's some progress on the DNA which might or might not work on the x920e (or any other Butterfly for that matter).

:(
[HTC Droid DNA] big_me:
I've also been using twrp, and even though I can find the .img file for the update, I can't seem to be able to install/flash it. So i've just given up on the updates. Gonna play around with Sense for a bit longer before heading off to custom roms :)

And oh, since I got my butterfly in taiwan during a holiday, is there any chance that I will be able to use the roms built for the droid dna?
[HTC Droid DNA] red_trela:
HTC's updates are in a different format, custom recoveries can't handle them.

Speaking as a x920e owner, DNA stuff generally doesn't work. Not HTL21 (J Butterfly) stuff. x920d and x920e are somewhat closer but there's not much progress on either.

My nexus 10 froze two times today ( pretty normal, it usually freezes about 5 times a day) but today, a strange sound came out of it ( "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" )

I don't know if it were the speakers or if it came from somewhere inside the tablet... I am very disappointed, I sold my transformer tf101 because it froze 3 times in a week, that was already to much for me. Why can't Google just fix it ? Or are they working on a fix ?

Are you on a custom kernel? That sounds similar to the CPU crashing and hanging, thus the repeated noise
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johno86:
try setting your cpu governor to performance if you have a custom rom or kernel. solved the issues with rebooting for me (for the most part)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrayHatter:
Well, you have to determine why the tablet is rebooting. If the device is getting noticeably hot and there is a "slideshow" effect then it is a indicator that it is being thermally throttled. Changing the governor won't necessarily fix this and in some cases can exacerbate it.

If you are indeed on a custom kernel, then then the kernel crashed. If its a reoccurring event then I would look at flashing a different kernel (Ktoonz or another) and seeing if that fixes the issue.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxss4:
I haven't installed a custom kernel or custom rom, I not even rooted. On the left side of the camera ( when holding in landscape) the tablet gets very hot while playing simple games like pudding monsters. Is that normal ? Happens it to anyone else ?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDNYLaw:
There is currently a theory (tested by members and mostly supported by gathered data found in this thread) that the CPU does not have a temperature sensor and instead estimates temperature based on an equation. According to the member who did some testing, the equation is way off from the actual temperatures. This can cause freezing (due to lag from thermal throttling) which would account for the sound or the random reboots as the temperature equation reaches a critical point and reboots the device.

I would pay attention to the KT Manta kernel thread as there's some interesting research going on over there. I can say having used that kernel from day one, 100 MHz to 1.7 GHz and extremely undervolted I haven't experience a single instance of throttling or rebooting. The only reboots I've had were when I was dialing in my undervolts. I tried messing with the GPU voltage, but mine appears to be somewhat picky and I really couldn't undervolt the GPU much. The CPU on the other hand undervolts like a champ.

However, if the theory that Samsung uses an equation to determine temperature and not an actual sensor, undervolting will have zero effect on "temperature" though it will save battery. Having never encountered thermal throttling (even after significant game play and other activities) I can't speak to that issue. Though I can say that with my undervolt settings, the battery lasts a crazy long time and I have absolutely no performance issues.

[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
I'm having great success calling another android user with Google Talk (Gtalk) app in N4.

Google Talk is Google's instant messaging (IM) program, trying to compete against Skype. You can do IM, voice chat (call) and video chat.

I have heard great things about Skype-to-Skype call quality and did some research. Skype's excellent call quality attributes to primarily 2 factors. First, it uses Skype's own audio codec (SILK?). Second, Skype uses p2p protocol, which means it doesn't have many nodes to connect the 2 users. However, the biggest problem of Skype on Android is it's a major battery hog. Since Skype doesn't support push notification on Android (it does in iOS), the app needs constant polling, which drains the battery at a rate roughly 10% an hour. Usually, you will need to recharge the phone twice a day.

Here comes Google Talk. I'll discuss the pros and cons of its voice call feature.

To my knowledge, Gtalk uses iSAC codec for voice chats among several codec options, when possible. iSAC is a wideband (16kHz vs 8kHz used for phone calls) HD codec, comparable to HD G722. iSAC uses variable bit rate (10 - 52kbps). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Speech_Audio_Codec

What does this mean? You can have HD quality voice calls even on 3g. The call is crisp clear and there's almost zero latency because it uses p2p protocol (similar to Skype). If you are happy with Skype-to-Skype call quality, you will also like Gtalk.

How about battery drain? Nothing extra for most android users because your phone is already running Gtalk 24/7 by default. (If you don't plan to use Gtalk, sign out to save a little battery.) Gtalk uses push notification, which is much more efficient than constant polling.

Gtalk has several disadvantages so YMMV.

First, it doesn't call fork (ringing multiple devices simultaneously). If you want to receive gtalk call from your phone, you must sign out gtalk (gchat) from all other places including gmail and pbxes. Google is said to be working on this issue.

Second, when you accept the voice chat, the default mode is speaker phone. You need 3 clicks (menu>audio>handset earpiece) to change this every time. Silly Google.

Third, not everybody uses Gtalk. Even most android users don't use gtalk despite it's already running.

Fourth, you can't make/receive phone calls. I tried gtalk2voip but didn't like the quality.

Fifth, there's no shortcut to initiate the voice chat. Requires 3+ clicks to make a call.

Overall, if you call only a handful of people who use android, then this might be a solution that offers great quality and great battery life.
[Nexus 4 General] krazykeyur:
This is more of a "feature application" than a "voip alternative" of any sort in my opinion.

Way too many things to do to make a "call"..and at the same time, the recepient of the "call" also needs to have google chat like you mentioned.

Much cheaper alternative would be to just use a voip provier like skype or voip.ms.. yes the codec/quality might be worse, but I think it would be worth not having to go through hoops in order to have a voice conversation.
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
At the moment it cant replace "traditional" VoIP solution. Google has to allow the gmail's pstn calling feature in android app. It already has the structure to provide the service and Google just have to flip the switch.

I have asked why Google hasn't made the move yet in several forums and the consensus is Google is playing nice with the wireless carriers.

It is speculated that Google will soon provide wireless data service without voice. I believe that's when android Google talk app will be able to call and receive phone calls natively. It will be a best voip solution given the push and codec it uses.
[Nexus 4 General] skimura89:
So...why dont you just use google voice since its designed for calling. Gtalk is great for messaging and video chatting but i would choose voice for the calling.
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
I think you got confused. Strictly speaking, Google voice is not a VoIP service. It's a pstn call forwarding service.
[Nexus 4 General] austriker27:
Thanks for this solid post. I nearly always use google talk to text my buddies on android but havent thought about using the voice aspect of it. perhaps I should think more about that..

Hey there.

I have this Device now a few months.

ht tp: // www . dynavin . com / android.php

Its called D99+

The Device works on Android 2.2.3 for further informations please ask me.

I have rooted it with a custom rom from this thread: ht tp: // forum . e46fanatics . com / showthread.php ? t=909077

Is there any possibility to upgrade to Gingerbread or ICS ? The guy who works on the custom roms says, we need a new kernel. Dynavin.com doesnt gives any sources etc.

Does anybody from you have the possibility to create a new kernel for this device, so i can install ginger or ics on it? Froyo is so annoying

I even would pay for a good working solution (kernel + - custom rom) !

Anybody can help me please?

If any dev was willing to put some work into this I would be willing to offer up some start up cash and some cash upon completion, maybe we can start a pool?

This device is horribly behind software wise. They did a great job making it look the part, but functionally its near useless for someone even alittle bit into the audio side.

My main gripes, lack of EQ controls, an android side that worked reliably. a better bluetooth interface (even if this went through the android side that would be fine); and a few other small things. Just the flow and feel of the device isnt "fluid"

If any devs need a device to work on, I could probably work something out to send my headunit to you for testing as well..

[HTC One X+] dantegl36:
I've had this phone for about 10 days. On Wednesday morning I awoke to the phone displaying a no SIM message at the top of the screen. I found this thread in the One X forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1581349

I'm guessing that since these phones are so similar construction wise the issue I'm having is probably the same. Here's what I know so far. The first instance happened after some heavy gaming. To remedy it I restarted the phone. The second instance randomly occured while the phone layed on its back. Once again I remedied it by restarting the phone. Third instance happened sometime overnight. This time the remedy was switching on/off airplane mode.

I'm rooted with bl unlocked running insertcoin 1.1.3. Anyone else having no SIM issues? If so do you feel it is software or hardware related?
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
it's simcard related, just pop it out and back in, also search the forum this has been brought up already
[HTC One X+] dantegl36:
Umm I did search... Hence the link posted up above. Perhaps "one x+ no SIM" is not adequate. What are you searching on where you find the discussion that was brought up before?
[HTC One X+] artiemon:
As suggested in other threads, I cut out a piece of a post-it note, stuck it on the back of the sim and I haven't had the issue since.
[HTC One X+] dantegl36:
I decided to call HTC. They are mailing a new SIM tray to try. They advised if it does not remedy the issues to contact att and have the phone replaced as it sounds like the SIM card reader itself is defective. As suggested by the rep the phone is designed to work without postit notes and something is defective which is causing the problem.
[HTC One X+] Kraizk:
As Lloir Said this has been answered several times, including by myself. The problem is hardware related. The sim card sits in the tray loose and every so often manages to wiggle its way out. DO NOT try and fix this by restarting the phone. I am sure it will not break anything but this is not a fix in the least bit. Pop the card out re seat it and place it back in. I have not had an issue in weeks since doing this. Other recomend a postit or tape, do so at your own risk. You would feel pretty stupid if something got stuck in there.
[HTC One X+] sparkplug619:
I used a piece of a sticker and stuck the sim to the tray after getting the error for a week. This was about a month ago and I haven't received the error since.

People say to use a piece of paper or something of that nature, but I would feel pretty sketchy about removing the sim one day and the paper not coming out with it.

I was actually able to shake my phone lightly and hear the sim card rattle around. Even placing my phone flat on its back and playing music or sounds from the speaker would be enough to rattle the sim around. Definitely Hardware issue.
[HTC One X+] Jeklund:
I've had this happen two times to me and just restarted the phone, both times happened with a couple days of each other but this was at least 2 weeks ago. Why do you not recommend restarting the phone? Is it just because its not a real fix or could it do some sort of damage to the phone?
[HTC One X+] Kraizk:
I said right in the post it will not break it. restarting the phone does not fix the fact the card is loose hence why it happens more frequently when restarting versus popping the card out and re-seating it.
