Initial feedback

Hamdir you are going to go nuts over this thing, I swear to god it's beautiful.

The speakers, oh my god the speakers, they are literally astonishing! I've never heard clarity like this from a phone, they give my speaker set up for my home TV a run for their money.

It's fast, I don't mean like HOX fast, I mean really, really fast. I didn't think it'd be noticeable as I'm coming up from a Quad-core, 1GB RAM anyway but I swear that I'm 'feeling' that it's faster not just 'thinking' it, maybe it's the honeymoon period, I'll report back later on with a more definitive response to it's speed.

UI is nice, simple but not understated, nothing like Sense 3.5 ;)

If there was one word for it, that word would be... 'Tidy'.

There are a few niggly things that I don't like about it, for instance, when you're in the app tray you long press on an app, Google Chrome for instance, you have to drag the icon all the way up to the top of the screen to the 'shortcut' notification, then you'll be taken to the homescreen and can add the app icon, it also removes it from the app tray, why I do not know, it's weird... I'd sometimes have an app icon on screen '7' on my HOX, I'd be on screen '2/3', so instead of scrolling across I'd just got through the app tray, no such luxury here! Also if you try to take an app from the '4-bar' at the bottom (don't know the official name for it) it won't remove it from that bar, it duplicates the icon, as I say, bit weird.

HTC have made some things better with the Sense experience and detracted from other aspects of it as mentioned above, it's a bit convoluted.

Haven't tested any games yet, will do so tonight and report back.

Took a few tester shots at home, I'm going out tonight to my martial arts class, I'll take a bunch of pics tonight and post them up tomorrow for analysis.

My dropbox just synced like a 100 photos into Camera Uploads... Thanks Zoe...

Hey,

Does anyone know if there is a working TAP implementation for connecting to a VPN server on android. I know the API doesn't support it, but I thought there might be a work around. Root is acceptable.

Doing a search for "TAP" and "android" together is futile, since tap is also a verb described how you interact with your device. It's very frustrating.

Thanks,

-PW
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
Perhaps try searching for "tun", as they're often listed together?

With the numerous types of vpn endpoints, you may find better answers from people if you clarify what you're attempting to access (cisco, openswan, etc)

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacificwing:
I'm trying to access a openVPN server that is set up on a remote host. These are not public services. The "endpoint" is usually on the same hardware as the gateway of a particular LAN, but can occasionally be a node behind a NAT firewall. These are set up by my employer.

The reason we use tap instead of tun is because we need to monitor broadcast traffic on the remote LAN. Tun clients are supported on the android API, but Tap is not supported officially. I was asking to see if anyone found an unofficial way to do this. So far, I've only come across one solution that was apparently broken with newer versions of android.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
What solution was it you found that's now broken? Did they remove tap from the newer kernels? Could be an easy enough fix for one of the custom kernels to patch back in.

I haven't used openvpn since 2.something, and I recall it working well, once you got the proper iptables and such patched in. So, I'm asking and following from curiosity.

Hello folks.

I'm currently on Aokp 4.2.2 unofficial with Francos r90 Kernel, bootloader and Radio are both updated. I'm suffering from massive battery draining. I guess something isnt letting my CPU sleep properly, as i always get messages like "100% awake while screen off" from battery stats plus. I'm just getting up to 2 hours screen on time, and battery is falling by about ~7% / hour With normal usage (whatsapp, News, xda) and like 15 Minuten screen on time in that hour. Also, see the attached Images. I sometimes have wakelocks by audioOut_2 and as you can See, maps is using more battery than the Display itself.

On an additional Note, GPS is always off, im using Taster to locate, but with cell near only.

Would be very Kind to help me out of this issues, thank you a bunch!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoidberg_md:
You should try a program like autostarts, and don't allow things to run unless explicitly started by yourself. This way it'll help identify if there is an misbehaving program.

I saw you were using franco r90 which could be an issue. Try going back to the last stable

This simple application will make your annoying applications to go to sleep. Therefore your phone can finally go to sleep like it should when it's not in use. I see that Google maps seems to be the culprit in your battery drain. You can use titanium backup and delete it and install it back again from the play store. After that you can use the application that I've given you and force it to go tot sleep.

Coming from the iphone 4, good battery life is the most important thing i miss. I need a rock solid reliable phone or else would have started to mess around a read about Kernels to see how they may help with better battery life. My iPhone would last me 3-4 days of general use. To me General use is very light use..! With nexus it lasts max 1-2 days but more importantly i need to be concious what the battery level is. With th eiphone i never really bothered as i knoew i would get at least 2 days if not more.

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
If you have already made the mistake of unlocking and trying to flash an ICS rom while still on GB, you can do the following to get back to GB and have a working device.

ATTENTION - Before continuing past this point, You must first have 4ext installed as your recovery if the device is S-Off.(you can use hasoons AIO toolkit to do this.) Once you have 4ext flashed, boot into recovery and in the settings Enable Smartflash

1) Download this GB rom

2) Next, Place the the downloaded file on your sd card.

3) Now Boot into 4ext recovery (battery pull, then start phone while holding down the power+VolumeDown buttons simultaneously).

4) Once in recovery, go to the Wipe/Format section and select "Format all partitions except SDcard"

5) Finally, after formating completes, verify that you have SmartFlash enabled & then flash the Rom you just downloaded from above..

Once this is complete, you should once again have a working device.

Please use this thread for any related questions/comments you may have so we can try and keep the forums a little more organized and clean. THANK YOU

Done the Mistake? now what to do?

Hi there,

I have done the same mistake that is mentioned in the start of this post. I have unlocked the bootloader. Flashed the custom 4EXT recovery and without doing the S-OFF thing (pardon me for doing this) but i tried to install the CM 10 ruby NIGHLTY rom. At first my mobile (Htc Amaze 4G) stuck during boot at the white htc screen. I then read many posts but none of them help as i am totally a newbee on this issue. Then I some who came to know that I must have not wiped out the previous data due to which this problem has occurred. So i went to wipe through the recovery and wiped Cache, Delvik Cache, performed system wipe and finally the factory reset. Then i rebooted the phone in recovery mode and flashed the CM10 rom. To my surprise it installed completely and when i rebooted the phone it booted up quite normally with Cyanogen mod ROM but stuck into a boot start loop. Moreover the gsm did not work on it. Please Help from here when i dont have my stock ROM in back up so really need you help please.

Re: [GUIDE][GBtoICS] ATTENTION UNBRANDED/ASIA VERSION/INTERNATIONAL amaze owners read

Please refer to post 2 to make your device useable again. You can not use any ICS Rom or higher if your device is still on GB. Period. No other solutions, no workarounds. You must first flash an official ICS RUU to update the firmware.

Problems in wiping data

Hi, aj_2423,

I have followed the instructions that you gave in post # 2. I have 4EXT as my custom recovery. I have SMART EXT FLASH enabled but when i tried to use the command "format all partitions (except sdcard)" i noticed that there is an error which said

"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!

Skipping format...

Data wipe complete.

All partitions formatted."

I just want to ask that is this normal or i have to do something else to remove this problem.

Re: [GUIDE][GBtoICS] ATTENTION UNBRANDED/ASIA VERSION/INTERNATIONAL amaze owners read

Hi the first thing you should do is take some time and READ the steps above first. Also i think youtube has videos you can watch.

Just type in 'htc amaze root' or something.

Dont worry if its not "your type" of amaze...they are all the same except fr the ruu and radios, just become familiar.

Build some confidence come back and follow the steps.

Honestly its not that hard and once you are comfortable its easy actually. Read through some of the other steps even though it doesnt relate to your type of amaze. Im sure aj wil chime in but read up first!!! Hasoons kit really simplifies stuff.

Again reas EVEYTHING THROUGH FIRST lol youll save your self hadaches later.

htc amaze 4g abnormal behavior

i have done all the steps first installed official TMobile ROM and then also updated the ROM to Android Revolution HD for Amaze 4G ICS 4.0.3

(about a month ago)

I have this feeling that its not working perfectly; like some settings its not saving

for example:

I have installed "VIBER" so everytime i goto dial pad it asks me which to use 'Viber, or Phone' i select 'phone' but settings only remain for some hours and after that it again asks me for selection (viber or phone)

sometimes i turn on wifi and all of a sudden wifi turned off automatically mostly when i m on wifi and goto 'Twitter' built in app wireless connection turns off or disconnected (only in twitter) and its with both mobile data and wifi connection

now last night i restarted the phone and after reboot it disabled all my music files, when i goto music library it says no music files found, my ringtone is also changed to some odd tone, like old style 'tooo tooo'

many apps are not working like WhatsApp

I tried to Factory reset it, like hard reset, Volume Down + Power Key On. and when i choose factory reset it took me to console of 4ext

i simply rebooted the fone to avoid risks

kindly help me what to do,

Regards

No, you must root it first, and then come back here to this thread to get ICS after taking all of these steps.
