This is why I am tempted to jump over the the nexus 4 right now, while I am still considering waiting to see what the GS IV will bring, if Samsung decides to lock it down, I will be buying the nexus 4 right away and never buying another non nexus phone again.

I got the One X after owning the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. I have to admit Iwas a little shocked once I realized how much they lock these phones down. Even though I am with Rogers, and allowed to unlock the bootloader through HTCdev, it still bothers me that any HBOOT update could screw over my ability to flash things like radios or having to use fast boot to flash kernels. I don't want to be told how I can use my phone.

It would be like buying a new laptop with windows installed and finding out that I was locked out of formatting the hard drive, and couldn't install Linux, and then finding out that the bios was set up to only work with that hard drive and couldn't be swapped out.

No one would think about locking gown a computer like that, why do they want to do it with phones.

Just don't like the hardware or software bro.. Purely my personal preference, I mean no disrespect to anyone who follows Samsung. I find they skimp on build quality, screen is always sub-par in my opinion, and I'm reassured of that every time my buddy shows me something on his gs3.. Even touchwiz 5 looks very similer to the galaxy S1 my wife had..(gingerbread) .Can't knock the insides though, usually at the top of the food chain in performance... (Although I still think the OneX performs better than domestic galaxies, except for multitasking lol) .... However I did find the galaxy nexus was an absolutely beautiful machine from Samsung.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] barondebxl:
LOL no disrespect taken, you're entitled to your opinion. I used to dislike Samsung phones ( galaxy s 1 era) but I think they are great phones now. I will give HTC the screen and build quality department but overall I prefer a Samsung phone because of the better internals, now better support, super ease to root and flash ROMs, kernels, radios whatever that can be flashed ( no fastboot flash blah blah blah) no HTC dev type of process to unlock the bootloader plus bigger batteries ( I don't mind it being non removable but it has to be a decent size) and expandable storage. Also Samsung does a better job at optimizing the software with the hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
Think next phone I'll try will be Sony Experia Z, Sony seems to have done a full 180 as far as dev community is concerned, specs on phone look great except maybe for the screen (absolutely love the waterproofing) but i'm done with HTC, too many hoops to jump through, too slow to release source.

This is why I'm leaving HTC as well. This was my first HTC device and it will be my last. While every manufacturer has it's downsides, HTC seems more determined to drive away it's customer base than the rest of them.

I love this community and everyone here is first class in my book, but this is really the last straw. I tried to give them a fair shake, even with their sense junk. In the end it just reaffirmed everything I disliked about them and they are just not for me.

All these huge tech companies can't wait to get everybody on locked down devices where you have to pay for every little thing. Sadly, the golden age of building your own pc on standardized hardware and messing with multiple operating systems is coming to an end. Hackers and enthusiasts will always be way outnumbered by consumers who just want an appliance and don't care about the freedom of their software and hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Apparently its against the EULA to install any software on windows 8 that isn't available in the marketplace. Microsoft is doing it too essentially
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] insanecrane:
I disagree, though with phones it seems to be getting more difficult. Which makes no sense imo. A smartphone is more or less a miniature of your every day PC or laptop except it can make phone calls. Restricting what the end user can do wig it or to it is simply wrong.

It's like HP telling me I have to use Windoze instead of the Linux use on my laptop. It's not going to happen and companies that choose to pursue this backwards thinking won't be getting my business. HTC imo are killing themselves. Sure we are outnumbered by the "average " consumer but we are also a driving force behind many hidden sales of their devices through word of mouth. If many of you are like me and the "tech guy" in their family, you are the first person people come to for advice when they want to purchase a new phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
But they are telling us we have to use windows instead of linux, bringing that uefi signed bootloader crap to PCs. And with Windows 8 more generally, the direction is clearly toward ubiquitous and easily locked down system-on-a-chip devices rather than multi component box PCs. Try installing linux on a MS surface. In a couple years, you will carry a computer in your pocket and dock it in front of a monitor and keyboard, desktop computers will become a rarity.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
That seems to suggest they're going after any Sense-based custom rom, not just RUU hosting. That would be a real shift.

If it's true, we can probably blame all the idiots who bricked their phones by flashing international roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
To be fair, I'll estimate that at least 80% of the bricks came from flashing an international aosp ROM.

HTC are just acting like power hungry fools.

I hope the dev community leaving their phones makes an actual impact on their revenue. I used to recommend HTC in s heartbeat. Now I wouldn't consider telling anyone to buy HTC. If they want a locked phone and no options, why would I? At that point I'd run recommend iPhone (which is a fantastic device, I just don't like limitations). Unfortunately HTC will probably stay the king of build quality/hardware, but that's all they have going for them at this point. Except maybe JB sense (been using sense since android 2.1, and this is the only version that isn't trash)

They are talking about carrier locking, so buying a One X for unlocking use on T-Mobile could become illegal.

Rooting/Jailbreaking has already been ruled legal, we shouldn't have to worry about that.. for now..

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Correct, carrier unlocking and bootloader unlocking/jailbreaking are two different things and two different DMCA exemptions that the Copyright Office created. The latter has not changed; the former is what is being phased out.

The rationale for the distinctions, and why they declined to extend the jailbreaking exemption to tablets and consoles, doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and I'm a copyright lawyer. I can only assume the Office is being deliberately conservative because the DMCA exemption rulemaking is supposed to be just that, exemptions, not a means of overturning the law. Also, I'm not really sure the folks in the Office really understand the technical issues involved.

As a practical matter, though, I can't imagine any carriers taking the effort to get customers who unlock their phones prosecuted, for a variety of reasons. They may go after the third party companies that sell unlocking codes. But since most phones are sold under contract, and unlocking your phone doesn't get you out of your contract, the big carriers don't really lose much by letting people unlock. The real beneficiaries of this change are the companies that sell pay-as-you-go phones on the cheap. Buying one of those for next to nothing and then unlocking it to use on another carrier may become a thing of the past.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
So the bottom line is, if you make a ROM with Sense in it, you're violating copyright and HTC will come after you?

How long before HTC goes after all of XDA and the HTC dev sections get scrubbed of all non AOSP ROMS?

HTC is so short sighted. I was considering an M7, but not anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
Let's be realistic here. A 'smart' phone today is little more than a dumb terminal with a touch screen. Not much is happening on the phone itself, everything runs on a server somewhere. There is no PC (other than the dismal chrome book) that does that. The days of the phone supplanting the PC are quite a bit off, housewives browsing for recipes notwithstanding. Notice that I am not saying pc use is not on the decline. Phones are clearly taking over the dumb terminal functions that PCs used to do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:

I dont think that is any more true than about current PC's.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WookieFan:
+1 we haven't gotten there yet. Perhaps he's confusing jvms as terminals? All processing and almost all data is still local, except for really large games. I'd hate to depend on ANY carrier for true terminal services. Data richness seems to always outstrip carrier willingness to release bandwidth.

I can't imagine what Vine will do to people's data quotas...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tenacious_T:
I haven't had any luck searching for answers in the forums, so here goes.

Current Setup:

- Unlocked SGH-I727

- Kernel, 3.0.49-KingKangersOne.12-g590eeda-dirty

- ROM, CM 10.0.0

- CMR v6.0.1.4

A couple of months ago I flashed CM9 and everything worked pretty well. Stable CM10 came out so I flashed it. I noticed the network was significantly more sluggish than on CM9.

Using Speed Test on CM9 before this mess I was getting < 30ms ping, 5+M Down, 2+M Up. On CM10 it's now >250ms ping, 8k down (not a typo), and about 250k up.

I played around with the network settings, making sure they were correct for my carrier. Nothing I did seemed to fix the problem. So, I wiped data/factory, cache and davlik, and then restored my CM9 backup. It came back up like everything was fine, except the network issues now were happening on this version, too.

Flash forward. I've tried reinstalling CM10 again, this time from scratch after wiping everything and formatting /system. Twice with a reboot in between. I even flashed an updated kernel for JB (listed above. It used to be 3.0.49 cyanogenmod kernel blinky-ghost when I was running CM9). I still get the network issues. I'm on a 4g/LTE network (ATT via Straight Talk) and am using all the right settings on the ST support site.

One thing I've noticed on both of CM9 and CM10 now is that I can't change the Network Mode setting. It's set to GSM/WCDMA. If I try to set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA it just switches back to GSM/WCDMA.

Oh, I also deleted other APNs that I wasn't using. The only one I have is the one configured for Straight Talk.

So there it is. Anyone have any suggestions? Are there bad config files somewhere I can delete?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
I've got a Galaxy S3 running CheckROM 5.5 and never had a problem for the first 6 months or so. Everything worked perfectly, no lag, no issues at all.

The last month or so my phone has progressively been getting slower, to the point where my phone can freeze for 10 seconds just to receive an email or text message. Sometimes I make a call and I can't hear anything ringing or when the other person picks up.

Just wondering if anyone is having any similar issues?

I was thinking of flashing the newest CheckROM to see if this fixes it as I'm not sure if it is software or hardware related. It's definitely very frustrating though.

A friend of mine has an S3 as well and he's having the same issues. He's always had stock ROM and he said the last month it's been very, very slow. He reformatted and flashed it and it's still slow as hell - this makes me think it might not be a problem specifically with CheckROM?
