Sneaky,

There used to be both Auto Sync and Background data control in previous Android versions.

Now the control is gone, yet the 2 different types of controlling the data still exist.

For example:

If you'll stop auto sync - no gmail mails will enter your cellphone automatically but you will get gTalk push messages.

Yet, if you do disable the Background Data (via Secure Settings for example), even the push notifications will not show.

I'm using the later one via Tasker while driving in the car to be disturbed free from gTalk, Whatsapp and such.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Oh. :(

So it is not possible to switch off Background Data without additional software anymore? Are you 100% on that mate?

That really sucks then! Who would have thought that?!?

So does this mean google is enforcing constant online activity on us unless we go in flight mode? What if i use a SIM Card with limited Data and want to be in FULL control of my data? Do i then HAVE to go the way you picked? Via Tasker?
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I guess the answer is yes but I don't want to be 100% positive as there might be something I'm not aware of.

Keep in mind that starting ICS (when this option disappeared) we got in return an option to control and monitor our data usage in the settings. might be related...

Take a look at this also for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...FuZHJvaWQuYmFja2dyb3VuZGRhdGFzeW5jd2lkZ2V0Il0.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Ok found this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/14sjk8/how_to_disable_background_data_and_auto_sync_on/

Illustrated:

[EDIT]

Killed the useless screenshots...

Would that be it?

:laugh: :angel:
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Thanks for the German walk through :)

This option will disable data when you reach the level you mention below in the chart as your limit.

It will NOT disable background data...
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Well according to that source i found there that was supposed to kill Background Data but i see it only does it after reaching the limit. Hmm.

I can't believe Google is doing that. I mean, seriously, what the he.... ?!?

[EDIT]

If i set a Data Usage Limit, i am allowed to restrict Background Data. I can set a high limit so that i virtually never get into the situation where the line is automatically killed off. If i then use the restriction setting, HTC Settings tell me that some apps "will maybe not work right" and i understand that this actually disables background data at least when screen is off or something like that?

Plus it gives me a nasty permanent warning in the status bar...

[EDIT]

When logging out and back into facebook app, it asks me again to enable Background Data, with the above settings set to restricted. When i then allow background data in facebook and then go to that settings page, it still shows Background Data as restricted. So its not the setting Facebook is manipulating.

I guess Oren, your App you suggested will really be the only way to control that! Very odd! Especially because i never thought about that! I thought disabling sync and disabling mobile data were the only and appropriate means of controlling your data throughput! I feel badly cheated!

Hi, one question, if you know it: is build.prop installed with rom? with radio? Autogenerated by provider...?
[HTC One S] troby86:
Does anyone know the system files to remove the flashlight tweak...where it turns on by holding the home button when on the lockscreen? Its always turning on in my pocket, so I wanna remove the files associated with that tweak. Thanks.
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
Disable it in venom tweaks.

[HTC One S] troby86:
Not seeing it...I see the one for the power button flashlight tweak, but I'm talking about the home button tweak.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
There is one on buttons tab third from the bottom and one on lockscreen tab at very bottom.

[HTC One S] popokrew:
So I wanted to circle back and let everyone know how things went for me. I had the maps FC issue, screen rotation in the dialer/call app, and quick battery drain.

So I did the RUU as suggested. Let me tell you that the previous person who said that this phone is finicky was 100% correct. I never had so much issue flashing things on my Sensation. In the end, the issues are solved now. No maps FC

Here are the steps I followed:

1. backed up phone

2. installed stock recovery

3. relocked bootloader

4. ran RUU -- this only seemed to work in bootloader mode - also, my internal storage was not erased

5. unlocked bootloader

6. tried using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as suggested but it can never find internal storage for some reason (this also happened when i first rooted/unlocked the phone). In the end I flashed CWM which worked.

7. reinstalled Viper 2.1.0

8. installed Viper 2.2 OTA

9. Cleared venom tweaks data

10. changed skin and scene to something else

11. made sure stupid home button doesnt turn on flashlight :eek:

12. made sure option to "enable phone rotation" in "misc" tab wasnt selected -- this was probably the cause of the dialer rotation issue

13. profit

Hopefully this helps someone else who has the same issues I did.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Well done mate! Thanks for the detailed feedback because that's gonna help others.

One note towards the mount problem with TWRP: if it keeps failing to see your sdcard, something is still broken with your partitioning. When you run the RUU next time, make sure you actually choose factory reset and clear storage from fastboot! That reformatting with stock recovery is the only viable method to restore defective partitions on the one s. If I should take a guess at what's the story with your phone I'd think you might see something like a semi sd-brick. I had that very badly on my previous one s which is now totally broken.

[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Dunno if its mentioned before - dont even know if this is really related to this ROM - but if someone calls me and i missed it (i am not sure maybe just text message) my flashlight turns on and i cannot shut if off again. I have to FULLY restart it,erase cache or power off. Any solution? It does not happen often but its very strange...
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
im still trying to re install viper after trying another rom:(

i flashed the 2.3.3.0 as suggested but after installing viper it hasnt actually installed and even in twrp it says there is no os installed?

Anyone with any ideas please as im desperate to come back:)
[HTC One S] popokrew:
I think I'll just leave it as is for now... Soon ill be moving over to the HTC One (M7) forum.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
I can only think it may be your selections in aroma!

Full wipe in recovery only do not wipe in aroma choose full rom and no custom kernel!
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
ill try that again:) thanks
[HTC One S] popokrew:
Its probably you hitting the home button. Go to venom tweaks -> lockscreen -> long press home action -> none

This one really killed me....

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

I havent had good luck with TWRP personally, even the suggested 2.3.3.0 version. Maybe give CWM a try.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Hahahaha! :laugh:

just two posts above yours is one of many solution-posts to that...
[HTC One S] teamet:
Did it solve the battery drain issues? Mine draws nearly 2.5% per hours over night and that seems a bit steep. On ICS / start of jelly bean it was only 0.5% per hour. I have tried installing the old ROMs (trickdroid), but the effect was minor if there was an effect at all..
[HTC One S] popokrew:
Its only been a few days so cant say for sure but I think it only helped marginally. Before I did the RUU when the phone was 100% charged, when I pulled it off the charger it would go to 99% almost immediately. Now it takes about 10 min. Its only a small difference but the main thing was to fix the maps/navi FC.
[HTC One S] psylooooo:
I did exactly the same thing but I already have Maps navigation issue :(
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
still no luck:(

it gets to around 7% on the install bar then just goes all the way. Takes about 15 seconds which is obviously wrong.

Really really just cant work this out!
[HTC One S] sensationfan623:
It means the rom is doing well.

GOD damn it! i just tried it with CWM as well. Just goes to 7% then zooms all the way across.

Im really losing it now lol.

i just tried another sense rom and its the same. Any cm10 ones are fine if this gives anyone ideas?

yup u r rite...
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
That's exactly what happens with higher versions of twrp. Useing twrp 2.3.3 or CWM is the only solution. You sure you tried these? It's worked for everyone else.

HTC_One_S | S-OFF | DeviantXone_2.0 | Twisted_III
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
yep tried it with 2.3.3.0 and cwm and its still the same!

Its laughable really that this is happening to me:)
[HTC One S] panagath:
Hello all, I got the notification for the OTA update. I downloaded it and pressed yes install now. It restarted in recovery and I got the error that it could not mount "INTERNALSD". Then I found the downloaded file by hand and pressed it to install but the I got the error that it could not verify the sign of the zip. Is it safe to install it anyway?

My second problem is FM Radio. I get very low signal with a lot of noise. While my Desire HD at the same place gas a great reception.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
Very strange I would suggest trying twrp 2.2.2.0 which had no issues to my knowledge also try another download of the full 2.1 rom & if you still have the same issue then I think that the issue may lie with your sd card!

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

We need a bit more info here! what recovery/version are you using? if your using cwm make sure you untick the verification signature in recovery!
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
so anyways, i identified my variant as an s4, unlocked my bootloader, rooted, installed twrp. now i thought i was ready to install a rom, but in aroma viperone is telling me i should have s-off or i will have to flash the kernel seperately? so then i looked into s-off and it told me i needed superCID?? i clicked onto that guide and it was just telling me how to unlock my bootloader again? are these steps necessary after rooting and putting on twrp?

first day with a one s. ive had about 8 android phones but ive never seen flashing this difficult.

EDIT: until i get an answer im going to skip ahead and go for flashing it without supercid and s-off since i have recovery installed if it doesnt work out. but, i have another question to add, in the aroma installer im doing a custom installation, and when im picking what i want and dont want it asks "are you using a custom kernel?", is it asking if i want to install one or if i already have one?
[HTC One S] Phantom Pt. II:
If you're not S-Off you'll need to flash the boot.img in fastboot or use Flash Image GUI to flash the boot.img.
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
ok is it advisable to get s-off then? because this doesnt seem to be workign, in aroma i choose my installation settings and it says its giong to be reboot and i should be patient, but theres no way it should be taking over ten minutes to get out of the htc screen right? ive tried this twice so far.
[HTC One S] Phantom Pt. II:
It's quite easy to flash the boot.img in fastboot. I wouldn't say it's advisable per se to get S-Off, because the process does have it's risks.

Also Flash Image GUI works perfectly. You can find it here.
[HTC One S] :
There is a number of things to check into:

Latest twrp 2.5.0.0 doesn't do well--try pre 2.5. Like 2.4.1.0? think # is correct.

Did you wipe all 3x including system

Don't wipe in recovery and aroma. I prefer recovery.

Fastboot boot.img or use Flash Image GUI from market

Follow OP

2.2 is not full rom. Do 2.1 then 2.2 over it.

See post 5203 for other tips--

It is a little involved and needs some reading--:)
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
Thanks, I usually wipe dalvik+cache+system in recovery before flashing a new rom. Also i made sure to flash 2.1 to start because i had read that 2.2 was a patch update. So neither of those would be my issue.

But I am using 2.5.0.0 so from what u said that could be the culprit. Also, I thought i was supposed to fastboot the boot.img after flashing the rom? So i should be doing it before flashing the rom? Ill try that now. Also, when you say i should wipe all 3x, do you mean that i should wipe dalvik, cache and system 3 times in a row before flashing?
[HTC One S] :
Yes on the 3 times. I fastboot the image after Rom and then erase cache in fastboot. I have also been using Awesomes kernel and wipe scripts after my 3 wipes. Maybe overkill but I have kernel sensitive phone.
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
okay well so far i have tried the triple wipe, then installing rom. i choose full install, no wipe, then i choose no custom kernel, then it says it has to reboot. but it never gets past the htc screen. so i power it down, flash the boot.img and restart it again, but still it doesnt get past the htc screen.
[HTC One S] psylooooo:
I flashed JB RUU and then reflash Viper 2.2.0, wipe and clean install but I already have issue on navigation, RUU don't solve my problem, I don't think it''s hardware issue, Maps and navigation was working well on ICS.
[HTC One S] :
busy atm--sorry

but you are installing 2.1 first before you do anything with 2.2

after you flash 2.1 and have done the wipes prior, you need to boot into bootloader from recovery and fastboot the boot image then "fastboot erase cache" no quotes.

then "fastboot recovery" I think, or "fastboot reboot-bootloader" then go back to recovery and boot into OS/Rom. Then you should reboot and clear caches again after first boot.

I forgot how you said you are fastbooting the boot image--are you up on doing that with correct commands?

I gotta run so no time to go back over posts atm--:)
[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
I'm so jelly of ViperX :( They have some pretty awesome features
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
yeah i am installing 2.1 only. i am using the script (Boot_Flash_Script_ViperOneS) to fastboot the boot.img. i triple wipe, then installing rom in recovery. i choose full install, no wipe, then i choose no custom kernel, then it says it has to reboot. but it never gets past the htc screen. so i power it down, flash the boot.img using the script and restart it again, but still it doesnt get past the htc screen. if i try to wipe dalvik or cache it says nothing to wipe.

i tried cyanogenmod just now and there was no download for a boot.img to flash so i took the one out of the installer zip, replaced the one in my viper bootflash script and flashed that. this time i saw a cyanogenmod logo spin but it never booted. i then went back to recovery and tried to wipe dalvik and cache, but nothing to wipe. so i did a factory reset. it worked! i got into cyanogenmod! tried to repeat this process with viper, and NOTHING. back at the same htc logo for 20 minutes and counting :eek:

note: md5 value is correct

note2: installation seems to jump from 7% straight to finished. that cant be right can it?
[HTC One S] :
not sure then. you could try using fastboot on the boot.img and maybe 2.3.3.0 twrp

when all else fails i re-format my sdcard

can you now restore a nandroid or flash a fresh aosp rom or is that a no go also?

I also use these after my recovery wipes--not sure they will help in this case. But since I have kernel sensitivity, I think it helps me. Kudos to Awesome for these--:)

I run kernel wipe first then then the main wipe zip.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Wrong recovery. If you're seeing a stop at 7% the recovery doesn't write system.

That is most likely due to aroma having hiccups with the later TWRP recoveries and their new HTC kernel.

Downgrade to version 2.3.3.0 or 2.2.2.0.

[HTC One S] nodyarg:
just finished downgrading when i saw this! haha. it is flashing fine now. 2.4.1.0 as previously recommended seems to be working. thanks guys.

I may have already tracked it down if youre referring to tecardos. i flashed a new radio with it, only thing is i am in toronto canada, and there are about 5 different carriers here with a one s. mine is the rogers version but there was only a bell option. i flashed it anyways. hopefully thats compatible. also the included wifi fix didnt fix my wifi error. i used the sense v5.1 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34271913
[HTC One S] :
There are multiple wifi fixes thru out forum--a search may list a bunch

Downside is some never get it fixed

Keep in mind the sdcard format if you have time
[HTC One S] nodyarg:
seems to work in trickdroid, ive struggled enough for one day. i think ill leave it on TD, take a tylenol and look back into it in a year or two. you guys have been helpful though.
[HTC One S] :
Yeah, know how you feel, next phone One or S4 may root only for Titanium and Nandroids and not flash custom roms. Phones are getting so good. I usually only theme the status bar anyway.

Well, probably won't be able to refrain from flashing now that I think about it. :)

I only question that decision on days like yours-

I know you have done this for awhile. But, just in case always have sdcard bu's and nandroids on your pc as fallback for days like these--:)
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
I'm guessing you might have to start from scratch when you run RUU. Maybe formatting your SDCard might help. Ideally you're attempting to get rid of lingering corrupted data from my understanding.

echó en Android
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
Ok I would still recommend running the JB RUU & factory reset within bootloader (stock recovery) this will not only cleanly format the sd partition but also correct the system partition aligning as per JB & removing unwanted files errors within but remember to save all your files to your PC!
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
From my experience, formatting that sd partition from within Windows can be part of the problem and can be part of the solution when already sd-bricked.

In case of these problems he described I'd think the format caused it. So the factory reset from bootloader and most important, clear storage, will probably help solve this if applied after a RUU.

mobile post
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
I thought performing the factory reset within bootloader also wiped the sd as it did when I did it! :confused:
[HTC One S] psylooooo:
Thanks you guys I will relock, reflash stock recovery, flash RUU again and wipe/clear everything I can do :p
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Honestly not sure mate. I understood until now that the Clear Storage option is a reformatting option that goes further than just a normal wipe but maybe that was also just my imagination. I wish there was a source where i could read all these things up myself sometimes. There are times i hate guessing my way through all this.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I think clear storage is only the sd.

Instructions fro T-MOB One S

Do I need to be rooted to Install ViperOneS 2.0 or only unlock bootloader will do ?

If only unlocked Bootloader will do should I change recovery or go with the stock recovery ?

And finally my CID is T-MOB010. So should I change it or go ahead with this ?

And if any specific instructions to be followed for TMOB HTC One S other than the guide on Post 5 please tell me........
[HTC One S] :
The rom is rooted

You need to flash a custom recovery like twrp--don't get latest--but maybe 2.4.1.0

don't go back to stock

read OP page thoroughly

make a nandroid after you install twrp before proceeding, an sdcard bu also. copy them both to pc

wipe all including system 3x in recovery

don't wipe in aroma

read last 30 pages

RUU fixed Nav FC's

I backed up my SDCard

I READ MULTIPLE THREADS!

1. Achieved Super CID (11111111)

2. Achieved S-Off

3. Flashed Hboot 2.15 [scid and s-off stayed]

a. not by choice, RUU wouldn't run with low Hboot, so i used info in found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777223

b. I did NOT re-lock Hboot prior to running RUU, but it is recommended everywhere i read

4. Flashed Stock recovery

a. I Used Flash GUI app, stock recovery here http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/

5. Manually booted into Bootloader and selected fastboot and connected via usb cord

a. on PC clicked RUU i had downloaded and followed set up wizard. took a while to install

6. Phone rebooted/ i went through the stock firmware set up once.

7. flashed CWM 6.0.2.9 in fastboot and re flashed Viper Rom. Booted. Flashed Viper OTA. booted. Flashed other Viper OTA.

BAM! No Nav crashes in 3d mode. However I cant download GTA3 anymore? it says its not compatible with my phone but i was on 2.2 prior and it was running fine. I dont know, Android is weird...

The only reason that would be of any use is if there was going to be an updated base. This won't happen, and here's why:

Current base=3.16.401.8

Tmo update=3.14.531.11

That's right folks T-Mobile is THAT far behind. It only took them five months to release what was released by HTC in December, oh well. The only thing that update has over this ROM is Wi-Fi calling and to be honest I don't see the base getting updated just for Wi-Fi calling, would be a lot of work.

Now, there may or may not be a newer radio included in this update, that I'm not sure of. However, that is a topic for a different thread.
