No.

HTC Sync works on all HTC Android devices, but not Windows Phone ones.

HTC Sync Manager only works on select HTC Android devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
My phone was working fine after flashing it to GB Rom I was getting 4G data on it. After Flashing to CM9 I only get 3G, My BT works fine everything seems to work great the ROM is awesome I just cant get 4G any help would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Check your modem in 'About Phone'. LB6 only shows 3G but you get 4G speeds. Other CM9 modems will show H instead of 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
Modem Version

I looked under About Phone and there is nothing that shows the modem version, I did try flashing several modems though. I never had one show "H"

always 3G, What modem would be best to run? I appreciate all your input, still learning!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Modem is baseband version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
It says T959VUVKJ6 Also says under status Mobile Network Type EDGE 2 is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Silly question here. You don't happen to have use 2g connection checked or anything silly like that. Data roaming and such also checked.?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kpeebler:
Not a silly question, I realized that the data connection for use only 2G networks was checked. I unchecked it and reset the data connection and there you go 4G. I appreciate all your help. I do have one more question. It seems every time my phone is rebooted the 2G connection sets by default automatically, can I stop that so I dont have to turn it off and reset the data connection every time?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] charleyrich:
I have the same situation and would like to hear how you resolve it. The check mark for 2 g keeps returning.

--Charley
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Three major possibilities:

1) The ROM you're using might have it hardcoded. Change to a different ROM.

2) You might be using a battery saving program that sets it to save power. Remove the program or change its settings.

3) Something else. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakkaron:
Ever since I got my Droid 3 I wanted to be able to control games using the keypad, but sadly most games won't support it, so I figured, it would be cool if I could make an app that catches all the keyboard events and triggers fake MotionEvents for preset regions of the touchscreen (kindof how it's done on the iControlPad).

I believe I've found a way to fake the touches, but when searching for a way to read keyboard events when my app doesn't have the focus all lead to dead ends.

Does anybody have a clue how I could do that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakkaron:
If anyone cares: I not only managed to find a way to read out all the touches and keystrokes that should go to other apps (though some android-coworker said it was impossible), but I can also filter which one of those I let through. I can even block the back- and home-buttons. And it's runnable without any running service or activity, so invisible and unkillable. I don't need most of that for my app, so I won't use what I don't need, I just stumbled across it by accident.

Every threat on this topic ended with "It's impossible to read out keystrokes destined to another app, because it would be too much of a security issue." Well, it is possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schlangi:
I do care! I would appriciate to hear how this works, because I would need it for my ongoing development.

Besides Camara button, which is of cause easy due to the broadcast event, and the volume keys (which are more tricky, since you have to inject an own BroadcastReceiver to the AudioManager), how do you handle other keys?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakkaron:
Ok, it's been a while since I did this, and I had a lot of work on other projects in between so, I hope I get everything right.

To do the whole trick you need root access.

1) Get the android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission

2) Open up a system alert window with no content. There is a setting somewhere that lets you catch all keystrokes and touches. This blocks them all from going through

3) This one is tricky. I had to analyse nonsense for days to get it right, and I fear it's still not very good. Go to /dev/input on your phone. There are files named event1, event2, ...

Each of those correspond to one input device, so one is your touchscreen, one is the keyboard and so on. What you do now is you perform the action you want to recreate on the phone (e.g. press a key) and monitor the event files through adb (there is a linux command, that I forgot, that lets you view a file in real time. Also you can copy that real time view to your harddrive by typing "adb shell [command] > record.txt").

Once you know every event that you want to recreate, you can go to the next step.

4) This is what your app has to do to let a keystroke through: The user presses a key, your app catches it. Then it changes it's mode (see 2) ) to not catch any keystrokes at all, posts the corresponding event for that key in the fitting /dev/input/eventX-file, and sets itself to catch keystrokes again.

Before the whole thing make sure, your /dev/input/eventX-file has a chmod of 666 or therelike, since you can't write into it from your app. You only need root for that, after that you don't need root. The OS resets the chmod on each reboot.

It is a hell of a lot of work. Calculate about a week or more for just that (at least that was what it took me to figure it all out). Good luck ;)

PS: If you get your app system privileges, there is also the android.permission.INJECT_EVENTS, which allows you to inject key- and touch-events to another app using a simple function (can't remember it, but Google does). For your app to be able to get system privileges you need to copy it to /system/app, which requires root and a mounted /system. Catching the keystrokes still works the same way as above.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campiador:
Thank you for your innovative solution :)

I do not understand two points:

1. How does your app will stay on top and its windows receives events, when the user opens another app, a game for example.

2. How does the background app, the game, keep running? Isn't the game onPause() when you are running your app in front?

Thanks you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campiador:
Can you please try to remember and elaborate " a setting somewhere" part?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty999:
Hi,

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard for this phone, a UK based supplier would be best ?

Also been looking for a Docking Station that would do more than charge, something that would let me sync / use my PC keyboard would be first class..... If not a simple charge dock would do.....

PS, I appreciate this could have been posted in the Q & A thread seemed better placed here though, apologies.....

Thanks in advance...
[Nokia Lumia 920] peter56:
On my Samsung Galaxy 11 I could have press the camera button to make the camera focus and expose a certain part of the picture, then move the phone to compose the photo the way that I wanted, I then released the button and the photo was taken with the importnant part too me exposed.

Is there anyway of doing this sort of thing on the 920?

I find that if I am shooting a building the building is always dark, tried the back light exposer that works, but don't want to keep changing it for every shot.

Thanks in advance Peter
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ark4de:
Is there any patch or ROM that fixes the problem with the SMS TimeStamp showing the received time and not the sent time ?

If someone sends me a message at 6am and my phone is turned off..When i turn it ON (7pm) and receive the message it shows that the message was receives at 7pm, and not sent at 6am.

This is known as issue 2989
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ilgreco112:
I'm sorry but I never experienced this problem =/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Valle:
There are several way to do that:

1) download SMS sent time from play store

2a) use another SMS app like Handcent or GO SMS (if I'm not wrong there's a setting that show you the sent time and not the received time)

2b) if you are on ICS+ you can see the sent time in the details of the message in the stock z SMS app

:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ZackFair84:
This isn't a problem, but a choice in android development. All roms show receveid time..

You can follow the simple workarounds explained by Luca Vallerini to know the real sending time
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zain rizvi:
Hey fellow xda members,

problem is that i was using stock rooted .53 ics rom with unlocked bootloder and ics stock plus v17 kernel, wanted to test official CM 9.1.0, so i backedup my rom and installed CM and wrote boot.img (thru adb) which came with CM rom, now i want to restore my backup but No matter what recovery i use, it says md5 dont match, i checked md5 sums and it matchs with the md5 file in backup folder, the thing i assumed is that i have to flash stock kernel and for that i have to download full firmware to get stock rom back, but my internet connection is too slow and stops downloading firmware at 190~200 mbs, is there any solution without downloading firmware and extractin stock kernel out of it? if there isnt any other option thn plz give me a link to stock kernel.elf.

thanx in advance!

Edit: Thanx everyone problem is solved, i renamed my backup earlier (as i do in my HTC One X+ but these recoveries doesnt support spaces in bacup names) and nandroid.md5 file was damaged, these two reasons were stoping me to restore my backup:)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xmixmaster:
you can restore your phone via Sony PC Companion just you need one usb cable :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zain rizvi:
Yeah and a reliable internet connection too, but unfortunately em havin problems with my internet service, just need .53 stock kernel file if anyone can provide.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tosa.th:
I never heard about .53. If you like try .55 kernel.sin below. flash it via fastboot.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w0bbec5ju9wbu8/kernel.sin
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zain rizvi:
Thanx gonna try it, hope this solves my problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nek0x90:
You can flash Advanced Stock Kernel, SSpeed Kernel, even the recovery kernel made by bin4ry, format everything and then try to restore your backup again.
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
ok im truely frustrated after trying to figure this out in past 2 days and reading more than 60 threads/websites.

Problem:

my one x was running 4.0.4 rooted +supre user+CWM, till i got the notification for 4.1 update. i pressed install now and downloaded around 380 MB, during the update phase a red exclamation icon appeared and phone rebooted into 4.0.4.

relocked bootloader, flashed stock recovery and downloaded it again and this time copied the OTA file before pressing install. so i installed and same issue.

uninstalled Avast AV (android) and ran through the same process again, same thing, started up into 4.0.4 again.

unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM 5.8.4, copied ota file into phone and renamed it to update.zip. ran it from recovery menu and got status 7 error.

downloaded and ran JBFWTOOL21 and followed the instructions, during one of the steps i encountered an error and after restarting the phone i was stock at "HTC One x" with "beatsound" logo at bottom.

NOW NOTHING WORKS

what ive tried so far:

relocked loader and flashed stock recovery and tried Factory Reset, no luck.

unlocked loader and flash CWM and tried wiping cache and wiping disk. nothing.

relocked loader,flashed recovery and ran stock RUU "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.28.415.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_25679_signed" but it doesnt work, give an error related to version numbers or something.

extracted system.img, boot.img from RUU temp folder ROM.zip and tried to flash but cant flash system.img (918mb). something about not enough HEAP i think.

from the OTA JB zip extracted recovery.img, boot.img and recovery.img and flashed them. nothing.

downloaded "One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1" and tried kernel flash, nothing.

clearing cache via fastboot command also doesnt work

really appreciate any helpful input guys, im really frustrated. thanks
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Oh my.. First, stop unlock and relock of bootloader. Do you have a cwm backup from before all this started? Flashing cwm and restoring that backup will get you far.

The first ota attempt failed due to cwm, always return to stock recovery (recovery.img from your cwm backup image) before applying ota update!

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
unfortunately, no. no backup.

since it all started from the official update i didnt make any backups.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Stop trying flash randomly. Run the following command:

fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
it wasnt just random flashing, i starting reading different posts and so tried them all one-by-one to see which works, anyway the output:

version-main: 3.16.415.4
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Well that's why the older RUU wouldn't work. You have the latest.

You'll need to go to the ROM backups thread and see if you can get a backup and flash its boot.img and restore it from CWM.

Actually, reboot your PC and try to flash system.img and boot.img again. You will probably need to be locked.
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
but isnt that the boot.img from "OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_ARA_3.16.415.4-2.17.415.2_release_304331jrfus698taf4vm1x"?

cause i have already tried it, didnt work. i have the OTA file.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Modified my post. Look up.
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
i have boot.img from firmware with hboot 3.16 and 3.19, which one to use?

and the system.img is from stock RUU which is "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.28.415.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_25679_signed", will that work?

the OTA JB is a zip file and doesnt have system.img.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Err.. 1.39?
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
yes :)

the firmware included in "JBFWTOOL21" is 1.36 which is used by many to manually upgrade to JB but the firmware inside the OTA file itself is 3.19 which is also the version i updated to since i thought its the reason the update doesnt work.

the Hboot version on my phone is 1.39 at the moment.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Hmmm. Looks like you'll have to find a backup in the backups thread and flash it.
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
i dont understand, a backup of what? the system.img?
[HTC One X] sridheepan:
Something similar happened to me....my phone was bootlooping. I flashed a custom rom and it booted up fine... did u try flashing a custom rom?
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
I thought about suggesting that too, but I'm new to flashing so I didn't feel confident enough to do it.. :)

But off the top of my head, a custom rom, complete with boot.img and everything should work..

I'm using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013506, it's super great and support all hboot versions.

No guarantees it will work though.

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
guess it worth a try even though i'd rather fix the problem in hand in another fashion.

gonna give it a try and post the results.
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
k so i downloaded the Blade rom and it worked, thanks "TwinAdk".

so now about JB. should i just use "JBFWTOOL21" or better if i do it manually?

and is this the right order to do it manually: ?

-unlock bootloader

-flash CWM

-flash boot.img

-install from zip in CWM
[HTC One X] BenPope:
A nandroid backup, like what Clockworkmod recovery makes.
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
NP, glad it worked! So now you have a phone that can actually boot up and make phone calls.. Not on the stock rom you wanted, but it's better than when you started this thread :)

From this point on, you can use a "return to stock" thread for the HOX.

1. Make a NANDROID backup via CWM (so you can get back to what you have now!)

2. Move the backup to your computer, to avoid anything happening to it

3. See this tutorial ([TUT] Getting back to stock after flashing custom roms [Noob friendly])

NOTE: The thread says the following in the top:

The "new jb hboots" also refers to 1.39.

I have the 1.39 myself, and i believe i am able to return to stock via my CWM backup of my stock phone, from before i flashed a custom rom the first time.. Is that assumption wrong? Someone more experienced than me to the rescue, please :confused:

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
thanks for the clarification

i have read the same thing, also "BenPope" mentioned it. so with this version of Hboot (1.39) i cant restore unless its a nandroid backup.

but i dont wanna go back to stock ICS! i wanna finish what i was trying to do in first place, Upgrade to JB.

but no matter what i do i get the "status 7 error". i have tried it with the OTA my phone downloaded and also downloaded it again directly from HTC website via a link from one of the threads in forum.

so status 7 apparently is related to CRC error but how can that be? and what is my option right now to do the upgrade? also bear in mind that before all these happened the normal upgrade process via the "system update" also failed with a red icon error.
[HTC One X] miker2209:
I have the same issue but with another problem maybe someone with more knowledge on tweaking Android can help me cause im new to this rom thing.

I had the Revolution HD 9.7 Rom on my HOX when it had Hboot 1.12 i think it was. So i tried flashing the new revolution HD 18.0 Rom but they said i have to change the Hboot to be able to use JB. So i downloaded the JB firmware liked they said and saw a video on how to changed Hboot. So i Successfully changed the Hboot to 1.36 but then i remembered i forgot to copy the neccessary rom files to my Sdcard. Now my current rom wont be able to go past HTC ONE logo. Can someone help me please, because i tried going into recovery and mount usb/mount sdcard to try to get the new rom in but i can't :( Much much thanks.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You have an outdated version of cwm, in which mounting usb storage isn't functional.

Flash version 5.8.4.0.
[HTC One X] :
ok this is probably a stupid question to ask but im gonna throw it out there,

is it possible to update to an OTA from custom rom or does it need an stock/previous official build?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You need a stock rom,stock boot.img and a stock recovery to update official......
[HTC One X] :
i have all 3 of them from stock RUU but RUU itself doesnt work cause of version's mismatch issue and cant flash system.img, it gives an error saying Heap Size problem.
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Stock or custom jb? Custom jb should be no problem.
[HTC One X] :
yes i meant official JB. though i read some more and apparently i need a RUU for 3.16 which is not out yet, or the nandroid backup which i dont have and noone have uploaded any for J15.

can anyone just confirm these info's?

right now im downloading BugX JB rom so i can run it and w8 for official JB RUU 3.16.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nandroid backup J15

http://d-h.st/y9S
[HTC One X] :
OMG thank you sooo much "Mr Hofs". i searched for at least 3 hours but didnt find anything and this is not enlish but dont care.

downloading right now, gonna update here after with result.

thanks again.
[HTC One X] :
ok its up and running, thank you all guys so much.

and thanks for the nandroid link "Mr Hofs"
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Sv: One X stuck at "HTC ONE X"

So this restored your phone completely? :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The only thing that is missing is the stock recovery
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Well, stock recovery should not be that hard to find :) I found it for my HOX when on ICS, and i guess its the same though the phone moved to JB?
[HTC One X] :
yes its running B now ver 4.1.1 thanks to the link Mr Hofs gave.

though when i unlock or re-lock the bootloader the phone resets to factory which i dunno if is a bug on my phone or the the backup file or its just how JB works...
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Unlocking bootloader causes factory reset, thats perfectly normal.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I have all the stock recoverys if needed ;)
[HTC One X] :
well thats a relief since HTCRUU was taken down yesterday. dont even know whats the alternative now.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The only thing we have now is the backup thread in the general section, if the nandroid is not there for whom needs it is stuck on a custom rom !

Hello,

This week I bought an used SGSII for only 50€ because the home button doesn't work.

I don't think that is is a hardware issue, because I can enter the Recovery menu with VolUp Power and Home.

No Root/Custom Rom. I installed most recent FW via OTA, still doesn't work.

The preowner said that the issue came with an earlier FW Upgrade.

Because the button works for the Recovery menu, I think that this a trivial issue.

Can somebody here help me to fix the button?

That is very odd. Maybe flash dorimanx kernel and see it that fixes the issue.
