[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leesumm:
Something new I began haveing problems with. I am S-OFF, unlocked and rooted, I am everything the phone can do. I was on ViperXL and things went good. Then went to a custom JB 3.18, then the AT&T official OTA came out. Being stupid I did the OTA. just to see what was good or bad about it. Except for the bloat I liked it, did the touchscreen downgrade as suggested by a dev. I got hungry for better again and started flashing customs again. Now I have this problem I can't find the solution.

When I connect usb, HTC sync gives an error, Your device is locked and needs to unlock, please unlock and restart HTC sync, or something like that and the PC can't find the HTC either by a hard disk or by using adb. This all started after the OTA update then flashing custom roms.

So can someone tell me how or where to unlock the phone if its S-OFF , unlocked, etc. For additonal information, it started doing this when I flashed CleanRom 6.1 I think and continues on with most all custom roms now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] a box of kittens:
I told you a few times in that thread to flash the stock rooted..buttvi guess not
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leesumm:
And think I did that . My problem started when I flashed the Clean Rom 6.1. I have had the Clean Rom 5.1 on and no problems and liked it, the reason I went back but then there is the CleanRom 6.1 so I tried that then had problems. Should I just go do a factory reset , relock, do a factory reset, then RUU to 2.20 and start over ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
RUU, but to 1.85 so you get the nice hboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leesumm:
I tried the RUU 1.85 and it wouldn't go , so I went back to the RUU 2.20 seems that is the only RUU that will work on my machine. Then I went to CleanRom 5.1 and working on that now. See if that is the better solution. I used ViperXL for a while but too much for customizing there for me. I like simple and easy, seems CleanRom 5.1 is the best.
[Hardware Hacking General] kingneil:
This may sound like a silly request, but please bare with me...

I have an HTC Hero... and on its motherboard, the microphone is firmly soldered, and thus, the only way to remove it would be to apply heating, and do all kinds of delicate stuff, which I guess I could pay someone to do, but if it messes up, then the entire motherboard is toast...

Here is a thread about removing the soldering of a mic.

Anyway.... the point is... I guess I could attempt to pay someone to do the de-soldering, but it seems very delicate, and I can easily imagine it going wrong..

And so... the question is.. is there any way that I can, basically, SMASH the microphone, so that it is no longer functional..? I know it seems like a silly idea, but I'm really looking to break this thing... I want to use an external microphone only, and not the internal one, so I want to make sure it isn't functional.

Here are some pictures of the microphone, if it helps....

http://i.imgur.com/TD6idad.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/aObemwr.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/gkLbGEP.jpg

As you can see, it's a rounedd square metal thing, with a hole in the middle, leading to more metal... I'm just looking to make it non-functional, by physically breaking it....

OK. Thanks :)
[Hardware Hacking General] Pennycake:
Um.

I think that de-soldering it would be less destructive and less likely to break other things than trying to smash it.
[Hardware Hacking General] liftedplane:
Pennycake is right, get a desoldering braid or some other solder puller, less chance you'll accidentally run something else while trying to destroy the microphone.

Put a sharp thing. In the mic.
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
Doh, was supposed to click Reply, not Thanks. ;D

Sharp thing + little hammer sounds to be most interesting non-soldering solution. But I'd still consider it as more dangerous than just using hot-air station.
[Hardware Hacking General] Product F(RED):
I guess someone should be asking exactly why you'd want to do this?
[Hardware Hacking General] SunnyChrono6:
Insert a sharp thing in the mic, like a compass point or needle.

[Hardware Hacking General] jhlaird:
Sharp things will damage the diaphragm, but they might not prevent it from picking up sound completely, if it's not bent just so.

I would recommend peeling any protective mesh off the top, and then filling it up completely with superglue. If you can find a tube of superglue with a needle point, you'll be able to fill it from the inside up. Superglue has very low surface tension and will fill the space quite nicely - a thicker glue like hot glue might blob over the hole but not fill the void.

Alternatively, taking a pair of side cutters/wire cutters and carefully cutting up the can will do the job too. Don't pull on the legs too hard and your board should be fine.
[Hardware Hacking General] Androideka5:
If you break it physically, wouldn't the phone still "think" it's there? I would imagine smashing it on the software side would better, but I could be way off
[Hardware Hacking General] lordebowie:
I think a hot air gun could do it since it will only blow a little hot air on its point.

Hi,

I have T-Mobile USA with radio ver. 6.24 and OS 6.00.14. I noticed that GPRS in this version is constantly ON (I have not found a way to selectively turn it off), even when I resume from stand by it'll still show ON. I don't have problem with that since T-Mobile has a flat fee for GPRS the only corncern is that since it's always on it'll consume energy from my batteries when I'm actually not using my phone or I misunderstanding something....

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mad Max:
Re: Constantly connected GPRS will eat a lot of battery powe

I hold my red hardware "end" button down for about 3 seconds and GPRS disconnects.

This has not been my experience. I am connected to GPRS virtually 24/7 for weeks now and have not seen any appreciable difference in battery life. Like GSM itself, I suspect the transmissions required to maintain a connection are quite lenient.

-Max
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] artisticcheese:
But holding End button also disconnects phone which I don't want to do
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mad Max:
I'm assuming you mean that it turns the phone radio off, as opposed to it hangs up the call you are on.

On my phone, if I'm connected to GPRS, a 2-3 second hold of the end button drops the GPRS connection, but the phone stays on. A subsequent second press of 4-5 seconds then shuts the phone off; But the first press does not. Is yours different?

I am running "hybrid", that is I have a formerly ATTWS phone that I'm now running on T-mobile-- ROM 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen, "stock" RSU A.20.10 from ATTWS.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Carlos:
I too have noticed very little difference in battery life with GPRS left on. Actually I'd say no difference, though I'm sure it's got to make at least a tiny difference. I wouldn't worry about it.
[HTC One V] sneakysnake16:
Does keeping your phone over clocked every day (I leave mine at 1401 GHz) eventually slow your phone down? Is it bad to do? Can it ruin my phone? It seems like at 1ghz it goes unbearably slow now on jmz one v stock ROM. Any help is appreciated thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 General] RCJ89:
I don't see how that is expensive personally, I mean Iphone 16gb models are the same price when new and they dont even have memory card slot so you pay £530 and are stuck with 16gb, alot of people have memory cards from previous devices aswell anyway.

I tell you what is expensive for £530 is the xperia z imo, no way is that phone worth anything near the £530 mark Should be £460 - £480 the most.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

So if the snapdragon version and the exynos version both have LTE and the same bands, then leaves me to believe the only reason both models will be available on some markets is due to production? i.e there wont be enough exynos models to cover all major markets so snapdragon versions are there as cover.

[Galaxy S 4 General] pewpew345:
Indonesian here, I'm waiting for news but if history has told anything, it will be 1-2 weeks after the first country to get it.

Not just phones, but games, computer parts, and other electronics, they have the same 1 USD = 1 Euro mark up. I think it's not only limited to electronics, but you got the point.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
The European prices already includes taxes and tariffs, while the US prices don't. So, 699€ / 1.24(24% tax in Finland) = 563.70€ and 644€/1.24 = 519.35€. So we are paying a bit more, but I think that has more to do with local pricing (what people are used to pay and amount of competition) than anything else.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Samsung has the power to kill all competition for 2013, it would be enough put S4 on sale for € 500 at launch.

At expected prices will be many people waiting price go down and though competition is selling their phones.

if you want more storage get a external hard drive 1tb for £70 and use an OTG cable, and you could also have a power pack to make it all portable
