[One (M7) General] maniacaus:
Everyone seems to be so happy that it's an aluminium unibody. Is this the same aluminium as on the back of the Sensation XL ? If so i'm worried that it will be quite slippery. I remember using a case on mine even when at home because it was too slippery while naked (hehehe).
[One (M7) General] Vertron:
Yes, it will be just like any other phone with an aluminium back.
[One (M7) General] maniacaus:
Eww :(

Maybe the black version will grip a little better due to the paint.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
It should/could be anodized, not painted...
[One (M7) General] Vertron:
I recommend covering the back with a silicon case as aluminium dents very easily. It will half the value of your phone if you plan on selling it in the future.
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:
If watch one of those how they make it videos you will see they coat the silver one as well so hopefully the coating will have some grip
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
The bigger concern should be it scraping, denting, and deforming if its dropped and lands on a corner. From wiki...

"

Aluminum is a relatively soft

, durable, lightweight, ductile and

malleable

metal with appearance ranging from silvery to dull gray, depending on the surface roughness. It is nonmagnetic and does not easily ignite. A fresh film of aluminum serves as a good reflector (approximately 92%) of visible light and an excellent reflector (as much as 98%) of medium and far infrared radiation. The yield strength of pure aluminum is 7–11 MPa, while aluminum alloys have yield strengths ranging from 200 MPa to 600 MPa.[7]

Aluminum has about one-third the density and stiffness of steel

. It is easily machined, cast, drawn and extruded."​

Here's an iP5 and Prime after some use...

The polycarbonate body on the OG One X had issues with abrasion creating "shiny spots." A lot of us that didn't want to always use a case used these protectors. Their wet-apply and dry so tight that you can feel the texture of the "Beats logo" through them. They make the device glossy but better glossy than permanently scratched. It would be great for the One because it's such a great looking device when naked.

Hah~ People usually never leant unless they accidentaly their phones for the very first time..

Some good news was HTC's execs and PR mentioned more than once that they had opt for a type custom of aluminium-magnesium unibody that is harder than iphone 5. I'm aware of iPhone 5's body wasn't doing well, but at least HTC dare to claimed they used a harder one..
[One (M7) General] tehdef:
It's all soft touch. Think mac book feel.
[One (M7) General] maniacaus:
I may be an outlier here...but I would prefer a good feeling phone that gets scratched on the back over a slippery unscratchable phone.
[One (M7) General] ike2903:
Seen it life on monday...the aluminium feels really nice! You got enough grip and nothing feels slippery. But the best is: it seems that htc has learned from apple...the antennas are doing their job very well. I kept my hands close around the whole case and there were no connection issues. Provider was O2 germany, which is not the best we got here ;).I hope I'll get mine tomorrow :).
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
HTC's aluminum casing is going to be pretty solid. The iPhone 5's aluminum case is WAY too thin and the anodizing layer is incredibly thin in order to not compromise the structural integrity. I'm guessing Apple did that in order to keep weight down and from inexperience in metal unibodies. HTC is definitely not going to have their phones scuff remotely as easily, as the grade of aluminum will be stiffer and the anodization will be much thicker.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
I pre-ordered one and good to know that it has no problem in signal like iPhone, But sometime signal bar doesn't reflect minor change in signal degradation so can you please download the free apps called 'Network Signal info' from market and check signal graph activity in the low signal area with holding your phone all the different way so we can clearly see if it has any degradation or loss in wifi or GSM signal

For me the best place to check the Mobile Signal is my workplace's canteen which is in the approx 10-12 steps downstair where I got only one signal bar and sometime no bar showing on my S3 but still I can talk and listen without disconnection or call loss, So any phone I got 1st I check signal quality and if it failed to hold the signal at this place I can surely assume that the problem with Signal quality of phone and I simply return that phone back, same thing happened with 2 Nokia Lumia 820 and I return it back, Signal metre apps is really useful to test signal quality with any phone even without connecting call
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
My mytouch 4g is plastic back with aluminum battery door the device is slippery as hell on my had.. 2 plus years later and I've only dropped it once from my hand. Why is it being slippery and issue? Really? Have the complaints gone that low. Hold your device better. I grab my phone and its solid on my hand. It's not going anywhere.

By the way, this is being that the mt4g is tiny too. The one is going to be much easier to hold.

[General Accessories] MikaelPe:
Hello XDA users! (posted in this Forum as this relates to use of an Accessory (Dock's))

Together with several App Developers we (iBOLT) are starting a petition today that we will attempt to deliver to Andy Rubin in about two weeks. The purpose is to ask the Android Dev Team NOT to remove the support to auto launch an app (through a car/home dock or NFC tag) and have this app be your new "home screen" until the handset is removed from the NFC tag or the Dock itself. See details and sign this petition if you agree on http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/dock/

Here's the link to the "issue" raised on the Android Alliance project platform

Here's the link to the 4.2 source code. See line 4361/2 "void startDockOrHome() {

// We don't have dock home anymore. Home is home. If you lived here, you'd be home by now.

Why should Android remove a key feature? Having a "driving screen" app like CarHome Ultra or Ulysse Speedometer/Dashboard is a terrific feature and going forward, a distinct advantage for the Android platform.

Please help us by re-posting the above petition link to other user forums around the world and help us bring this to the Android Dev Team's attention so they put the couple of lines of codes back in again required to support "home button" feature!

Please also make comments and keep the discussion going so that this thread is seen by many!

Hello!

My samsung galaxy sl i9003 had a problem with cellular network signal. After I've checked it's software baseband versions, I saw the following details:

PDA: I9003XXKPQ

PHONE: Unknown

CSC: I9003SERKPQ

IMEI: Blank.

I thought this could be a problem with the firmware or the corrupted efs folder. So I backed up the efs with root browser to sd card.

1)Then I've flashed with custom rom Jellybam 4.1.1 alpha.

I didn't replaced the efs folder to know the error is either with firmware or the efs folder itself. After flashing with Jellybam I had the same problem again.

2)Some of the members suggested to flash with stock ROM and check again. So I have flashed again with XXKPE, XXKPU and Finally with XXKPQ firmwares to fix the problem. But still I ended up with same problem.

Every time I did the above procedure I didn't replaced the efs folder with the backup.

3)So I've replaced the efs to check the problem again with each and every stock ROM i've flashed. Still I ended up with same problem.

4)So after a thorough studying I came to know that either my efs file is corrupt or it is missing the required files. So I've followed the procedures for restoring efs and IMEI explained by members and developers of XDA ( Method 1 Method 2 )

Still No use!! Same problem!

I guess my mobile is permanently locked!!!! :crying::crying:

Is there any other method to restore my mobile in working condition? Or is the samsung outlet's repair is the only way??

I'm all about checking out the Roms to see which one strikes me eye. Has there ever been a poll about which custom Rom(s) are the most popular? Most eye candy? Looks most Goth? I'm looking for some news I can use. I'm on the Deepshining v3.
[HTC Titan] AndrewSh:
... pepperspray can help

Sure - most important feature....

Seriously - you had chosen the wrong OS buddy. Candies for your eyes are in Android and old WM 6.5 threads. There you can find them - worst optimized and fragmented rom is the most eye candy one - you can not make a mistake.

All WP roms are similar - but not all of them are from software developers. Some of them are from the users who managed to learn how to use OsBuilder. So - try by yourself and make a decision.

Now that's what I call some good advice. What I needed to hear, instead of what I wanted to hear. Thanks!

Windows Phone platform won't allow this in regards to the Metro Tiles; however, you may in regards to your wallpaper but I'm not aware the Metro UI can be themed other than change the color of the tiles. You have to remember there are only a few at best custom ROMs for the Titan.

I`ve bought the XDA to select with pocket-excel a database with the function: auto-filter (cell contains information xyz, but not abc).

This is possible in `normal`-Excel, but not in the pocket-version. (wrong information from the retailer...)

Does somebody know, how can I get this function, or who can programme this for me???

I`m working with another programme (HOMEBASE), which converts the datas in excel-format (for the XDA). This is the reason, why I don`t want to give up excel...

Rebooting issue is resolved for me

Hi,

Actually after updating my phone (SE Live with Walkman) to ICS, once I switch my Bluetooth on, my phone gets restarted again and again.

I was searching for the solutions everywhere in the world..(:))

But finally I realize that i'm having a small delay in next restart of my phone.

So, in that time I quickly went to Settings and turned my Bluetooth Off. Now it's working fine.

And I decided not to use my Bluetooth anymore...:( (till the time I reach Sony Ericsson mobile service center)

Hope you also may have a chance to resolve the issue. (Temporarily at least)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualt:
In other words I can't find the proper kernel. Is there another one that's compatible. Siyah will not work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
You are in fact asking two different questions... If you are looking for a kernel to replace the stock one, I don't know the answer, as I have not tried a clean Canadian stock (I am in Canada, but using LSD-based Disaster ROM with the MA5 modem). I would think PhilZ, Jeboo and Speedmod should work perfectly fine with your ROM. I also don't see any reason why Siyah v6b5 wouldn't work on it, but again, I haven't tried...

However, if you only need root, you don't even need to flash another kernel -- you can keep it completely stock. Just search for signed SuperSU zip by Chainfire, flash it from the stock recovery, and you are get a 100% stock ROM, but rooted. And with SuperSU, you can easily unroot it anytime right from the app, if you need to.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualt:
So in case people have the same problem.

What i did was I

1. googled SuperSU zip by chainfire

2. changed file name to update.zip

3. I got a micro sd card and loaded the zip file onto it and put it in my phone

4. I then got into stock recovery mode by pressing the volume up and power keys

5. Then I went to update zip file through sd card in this case external

6. Rebooted

7. Went to google play store and downloaded ROM manager

8. Followed steps to load Clockworkmod onto my phone

9. Rebooted and made sure it was working.

10. Downloaded a ROM and flashed using CWM it changed my kernel and everything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
I didn't realize your goal was to flash a custom ROM... I thought you wanted to root the stock one. You could have done it easier, in just three steps:

1. Flash the temporary CWM from stock recovery.

2. Do a nandroid backup (optional, but highly recommended), and then a full wipe.

3. Flash any ROM of your choice.

BTW, as far as I knew, CWM can't be installed on SGS2 using ROM Manager, since our phone doesn't have a recovery partition, and a custom recovery must be integrated into the kernel...

Hello there,

I'm a newbee in this forum.

I'm facing a problem with my sensation xe.

I traveled to Turkey since fifteen days and bought a turkcell sim.

It worked for about 10 days and then a problem happened.

It seems my sim got locked.

So, i couldn't connect to the network anymore.

And when I searched for networks, I found all of available networks in turkey, but when trying to connect to turkcell network, a message appears on the screen "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"

I tried to S-Off my phone and tried to change my IMEI number but it didn't work.

Can any one help me and lett me what to do??? :( :( :(

Are you trying to connect on roaming, or using a turkish sim card? Did you tried to get a new sim card from the provider ? If connected successfully first time why do you think it is phone related? , i dont think so.

No, I'm using turkish sim card,

I've tried another sim from the same provider and it didn't work.

And I tried to put my turkish sim in another mobile phone witch I think is not sim locked and it worked.

I think it's phone related because I tried to connect my phone via roaming and it worked and connected to turkcell network,

but when I tried to insert the turkish sim card, the proplem happened.

Try to execute the file on your device \\Windows\RSUpgrade.exe. After executing it flashes the radio ROM. If it works, you have the old (but the working) version.
