[HD2 General] idan_mo:
i'm picking up an htc hd2 tomorrow and i'm curious which is the most stable and fast rom for this device?

and another question, windows phone 8 presented as 7.8 or 7.10?
[HD2 General] mikef:
Sorry. we don't generally allow "best ROM" threads here as they can lead to heated discussions between users of those ROMs. And really there is no way to know what is "best" for your phone as your usage patterns are going to be different than anyone else.

I believe Windows Phone 8 shows 8.0. 7.8 is a release for older Windows phones that are not going to get 8, at least officially.

I know I'm not the only person to have problems with push notications on sense base ROMs (including stock). I've missed many Whatapps messages, Facebook notification, and more all because the phone won't push notications when the screen has been off for more than 5 minutes or so. I've noticed on CM10 that I don't have this problem. On stock ROM and CleanROM, I've noticed that it does have this issue. Is there any type of fix for it besides using a Non-Sense ROM?

I did some testing on my roommate's phone with Whatsapp. It seems when you're connected to wifi, there is a delay on receiving notifications when the screen is off. I've looked into this and saw that you needed to open some ports on your router for push notification to work. I opened those ports and still no luck.

When I'm using my carrier's data, I get notifcations instantly even when my screen is off. I really don't know what's going on. I've switched over to Viper's JB ROM and still getting that same issue. It's definitely Sense related.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
I've noticed that if you restore an app with tibu, the push notifications stop working. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the market corrected this
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcur12:
I did some more testing and found a solution. I've noticed that when I turn my screen off and access my router settings, the HTC One X disappeared under attached devices. As soon as I turned the screen back on, I refreshed the page and saw that the phone was back in the list of attached devices to the router.

I went to Settings > WiFi > Advanced > and enabled "Best WiFi Performance". True..this may drain your battery faster, but I'm getting notifications instantly now with wifi on and my screen turned off.

can someone help me out with doing this on my chacha? the phone is on stock firmware with a locked bootloader and s-on
[HTC ChaCha] sirajshiak:
Hi,

To use link2SD, you should get your bootloader unlocked via htc dev website and then root your phone. It worked for me .

Follow this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452173
[HTC ChaCha] dhruvbatra205:
thanks!

the htcdev site says i'll have to upgrade hboot

how do we do that?
[HTC ChaCha] bellus_charm:
You don't need to upgrade hboot if your hboot is 1.0 or more.

To check it :

1. Go to Settings -> Power -> Uncheck Fast boot

2. Turn off your phone and remove battery.

3. Re-insert battery and

press and hold Volume Down button and press Power button

.

4. You will see a Recovery Screen. Check the third line for HBOOT version.

If it is more than 1.0 , go ahead with Unlocking your Bootloader . :)

[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
Yesterday i rooted my HTC One V (CDMA) and downloaded the PACman all-in-one ROM, moved it to my sd card in my phone, but now i cant find it when i go to the bootloader. Am i doing something wrong or looking in the wrong place? I'm new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
You gotta reboot into recovery. When you boot into the boot loader you can use the volume keys to move to the word recovery, and the power key to select it.

That is if you have a custom recovery installed. Are you gsm or CDMA and do you have clockworkmod or twrp installed?
[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
It's a cdma. And I don't have either of those. But when i go into recovery, it stops with the red x. Are there settings I need to change?
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
you should check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1598964

only follow the directions that say they are for cdma. i'm going to assume you didnt go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader, so follow that section too.

Note: this will void your warranty with htc.

dont worry about doing the superboot stuff, its not needed if your going to install a custom rom.

after you unlock your bootloader, follow the directions under "IMPORTANT" in the bottom of that post for cdma. ill give you a tip, after you install clockworkmod recovery for cdma, when you boot into recovery you will need to use the volume keys to scroll through the list 3 times until at the bottom of the screen it says something like "select button active." the power button is your select button.

after that, follow the directions for "how to make a nandroid backup?" this part is important. its saving a copy of your stock rom so you have it in case something goes wrong.

after you make the nandroid backup of your stock rom, use clockworkmod recovery menu item "mounts and storage" and wipe cache, data, and system. then on the main screen, use "install zip from sdcard" to install your aokp rom you downloaded and jb gapps.

select reboot from the main screen after that, and when the white htc screen with red letters pops up, hold power until the phone resets. once the phone resets, hold volume down. (

do not hold volume up, it has the potential to brick your phone

) if your bootloader doesnt come up and a black screen with red lettering pops up instead, hold the power button for roughly 8 seconds until your phone resets again, and once again hold volume down until you are in your bootloader menu.

you will need to install htc sync available here: http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/

it contains the drivers your computer will need to use fastboot to flash kernels

use fastboot available inside the android sdk (which you need to set up on your computer, tutorial here: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/) to flash your kernel. the command to flash the kernel is:

i'd recommend simon's supersick kernel available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024758 for use with aokp.

sorry if you already know some or all of this stuff, just covering all the bases. good luck!

[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
Thanks for all that! I already have the bootloader unlocked and I have the superuser. Should I take off the superuser? Or is the only thing I need to do is to get the clockwork mod and the nandroid backup? Thanks for trying so hard to help. I'm such a noob. Haha
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
K your off to a great start! Use fast boot to install a recovery, I'd suggest the one in the guide I linked for you. (Clockworkmod) Then do a nandroid backup. Don't worry about removing superuser, your fine with it there. After that you can do the rest of the steps I wrote for you in installing a custom ROM.

Use

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

To flash your recovery in fastboot.

Don't worry, we were all new at one point. I'm just glad you are eager to learn.
[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
When I use fast boot to do a recovery, it goes to a screen with e picture of a phone with a green circle mde of arrows and an arrow in the middle, then it goes to a picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I'm assuming that means it can't find anything.
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
Sounds like you are seeing the stock recovery. That means you have to flash a custom recovery. (Clockworkmod)

This should help. androidlegend.com/how-to-install-custom-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-one-v/

Just make sure you use the primoc recovery. The primou is for gsm devices.
[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
So to flash it I need to put it on my sd card and then find it in the fastboot menu of my bootloader?
[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
Thanks for all the help! I'll let ya know how it goes!
[HTC One V] DBStoll0425:
i just tried to flash the rom and this is what happened

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
I might need to change service providers soon because Koodo is just sucking right now. As such, my phone needs to be unlocked. I would be paying Koodo for the service so that I don't have to run the risk of bricking my S5830D (can you brick your phone attempting to unlock it?). However, my little Ace is running CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE.

I don't know the SIM unlocking procedure and I was wondering if I would need to flash back Koodo's Stock ROM (where can I get that by the way?) and unroot it to have it unlocked.

I also heard of unlock codes around these forums and was wondering what they were, does Koodo just give me a code that I enter somewhere to SIM unlock? Please give me any information that you can on this matter.

Koodo charges $50 to unlock the SIM. Is there a safe and simpler less expensive method to unlock the SIM?

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Hi,

1) No button to start either recording or taking photos. Always I need to switch to either video camera or photo. And the process is so laggy.

Maybe there is a way to have shortcut directly to video camera rather than to photo camera?

2) Do you feel that camera app is laggy? For instance switching to last photo with a gesture is slow. And if you turn/rotate the phone - it is dead for a few seconds.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -star-:
You can start the camera app and switch it to recording, it will keep the recording active till you shut down your device or force close the app. It's just a workaround. There's no way to link to recording with the stock camera app. And my phone has no lags so far, I can switch it from camera to recording and back again without a single lag. The gesture to open the last photo is sometimes a little bit tricky that it accepts my gesture but I can't see any lags.

What's your rom and kernel setup?

Hey guys,

I have read so many topic that people complain about HOX battery, so funny!

Please understand that the phone and the battery is same as the care and the fuel tank.

Your car have 20l tank and with full tank, you could run about 200km. Some one could run longer, some one could run shorter but only around 200km. Depends on how you drive, you could run more or less.

You want to feel the power of your car and want to happy with high speed, you should do more acceleration. And of course, your car use more fuel and you run a shorter distance. If you drive your car in very economic way, keep stable acceleration in stable speed, you could run longer distance.

Simple, the phone is exactly like that.

More powerful function, less usage time. Turn every thing off and take your HOX as decoration thing to show to your friend, ha ha, you will have 3 or 4 days of use, even more.

So, please stop complaining about the battery usage. You want supper 3D game, very smooth video, very fast internet, beautiful camera, all tools in your hand... you should not ask to have long time usage. If you want longer, buy other phone (like you buy another car with bigger fuel tank).
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yeah, that analogy works perfectly, the first thing I look at on a car is fuel tank capacity. :screwy:
[HTC One X] mjltigger:
I agree totally.. I'm forever banging my head on a brick wall with this. If technology is part of your life then invest in it properly.. I have a range of battery extension methods and can / do regularly go a week or more without mains.. but on the other hand when I'm in the office and hammering 3d hd games I know I will be plugged in all day..

I also have another phone.. battery lasts for a week or so without any top up.. but I wouldn't even try and get on social networks with it..let alone try and play the silly 32 colour games.

If battery life matters either invest in the kit so you can charge away from mains or buy a dumb phone.
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
The problem with battery is why it runs out so quickly for no reason, I have only watched 3 mins of YouTube on my phone and yet I am on 36%
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
It is not our fault. HTC should have used their brains. 1800mah battery on a quad core beast! Seriously! What on earth were they thinking. I have a feeling 2013 is not going to be a good year for HTC.
[HTC One X] blubbers:
Exactly, the one-x has like a 20l fuel tank, thats the capacity of a motorcycle!
[HTC One X] yash777:
I don't see why people shouldn't be complaining.

When I first got my One X with ICS I barely used to get 8 hrs with a full charge with wifi on.

Now people come up with all kinds of ridiculous suggestions such as turn your auto sync off, keep your brightness at zero, uninstall facebook, disable maps etc. Why do all this? I might as well have a Nokia N series phone if I were to remove the smart from smartphone. Fortunately JB bought a massive battery improvement to my phone.

It would be a different thing if people were moaning after 14-15 hrs of battery life but with ICS I would struggle to get to even 5 pm on a normal day.

A customer pays a chunk of money to get these phones and if it doesn't even meet normal requirements, one has a right to complain.
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
Spot on. Also if they managed to fit a 2100 battery one the HOX+ why didn't they use it on the HOX because it fits perfectly. I switched from my Evo 3D. I still have the phone in perfect working order and excellent condition. I may start using it again because I can't stand charging my phone twice a day.

If HTC were clever they should have offered HOX owners a battery upgrade and bet they know the HOX has battery drain issues. I wouldn't mind paying for the upgrade either. Getting the S4 next.
