[HTC EVO 3D] Midnight1970:
I was successful in the wire trick with my phone yesterday and I'm running Dirty Unicorn for the moment - seems to be running well.

However - trying to repeat all this on my wife's phone - and the wire trick is NOT going. When I make contact with the wire to the metal around the sd card, I hear the computer immediately "ding" that the device disconnected and it begins to reboot, still showing S-ON every time. I did this yesterday and after only the 2nd try got it, but I'm up to around 15-16 times now and still no luck with phone #2 after having completed all the same steps.. What is frustrating is that I see the methods showing "tap, then hold a second" - the moment you tap is when I can hear that it's rebooting via the usb unplug sound effect the computer makes.

I tried a second sd card and having the same result...

Good times in Kentucky... lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Midnight1970:
Sorry guys - I'm just flustered. I know I'm doing something right because I know I'm making the connection because it reboots - but for some reason it's just not taking. UGH!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Midnight1970:
Nevermind - lol - after I think the 23rd time - I got it. S-OFF success on phone #2. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatsAreCrits:
So today for the first time my nexus 4 took a big dive in the concrete. Only a week old.

It cracked on the bottom left corner, and now the softkeys don't work.

Is there an app that will put home/back/recent apps button in the notification menu? Or something similar?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
You could try button savior in the play store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bryanyoung:
not really sure if this is the correct spot for this but im just wondering about what your battery life how much do you get out of the phone i bought a extended battery for my phone had everything turned on to use as much battery power and got 24 hours on the phone compared to before with stock battery an charged 2 times a day now i dont normally have everything full blast on my phone i was just putting the battery to the test
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Look up please... there are several threads on battery life :)

And to answer your question... on both my S3's... I get a full day (24 hours) with 5+ hours of screen on time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shinydesert:
Quick question for you. Are you running the rom on your signature?

Intergalactic Kernel C?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Yes. v2.8 on 2.5 kernel (version C) with the little CPU setting I mentioned in the ROM thread, I got over 7+ hours display time on a single charge on standard battery. On day to day basis with bad signal at work, I easily get over 5+ hours.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] goateegauti:
Guys has anyone ported timescape apps from xperia mini/LwW/Active to cm9/cm10??? Searched for it and found only the apps that were ported from Xperia S. Porting from hdpi+ phones sucks on mdpi screens.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dexxmor:
I think that is not possible, timescape needs the stock sony framework to work.

Sent from Tab 2 using XDA Premium HD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] goateegauti:
It is possible dude but I want to know whether if someone has already compiled mdpi timescape apps for cm9/10.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Jeenious:
I own the official o2 foldable keyboard, and Ive had no problems with it until i used the RomKitchen to make a PPC2003 rom image.

After I install the official keyboard driver, i get this config screen:

the software refuses to let me select "Keyboard".

When i try to use the keyboard as normal, nothing happens.

Does this mean that the XDA keyboard does not work if the xda is running PPC2003?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] lgingell:
Try going into Start->Settings->Connections->Beam and unchecking "Receive all incoming beams". This will stop the device holding open the COM port, and should release it for the keyboard driver.

Works with my thumboard....

Cheers,

thats brilliant. worked a treat. cheers!
[One (M7) General] jthein1989:
While this is "kind of" an HTC fanboy post, I would like others opinions... I love the ONE (The reason I'm posting here), but HTC has fallen behing when it comes to dev support and all together ingenuity (no "But... boomsound" please). I Hate Samsung as an HTC fanboy, but they have been consistent with their products, and that conveys a certain feeling of comfort with a product... A superior screen, and sound, does that really make it better? I want honest opinions (I understand that is very unlikely). Come on people of XDA, everybody wants to buy a superior product...
[One (M7) General] mmx6688:
I always try to go for galaxy phone but every time I saw their new phone screen I give up.

I really do not know why people like galaxy screen which is not bright at all, hard to read text, only when play video maybe it is good.
[One (M7) General] notsointeresting:
No disrespect as it's of course a matter of opinion.

But I think I have to take the opposite side when it comes to ingenuity. I think HTC has done pretty good this year.

Complete Aluminium design - Complete first in smartphone design

Front facing stereo speakers - No one has yet to do with these generations of Smartphones

4MP camera ultrapixel or whatever (it's a trade off for detail/low light but it still counts as ingenuity as HTC is breaking away from everyone else and being original)

Blink Feed/Sense 5- while it's not a complete new idea it is something we haven't seen implemented on Android in this way. A permanent social feed.

And the Zoe capturing video and picture at the same time may be gimmicky, but still showing ingenuity

I'd love to hear why you think opposite though :thumbup:
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
The S4 is only going to make sense for exactly two reasons, and that will be microSD and removable battery. Snapdragon means development will be much easier, and S-OFF will happen faster. I can break it down point by point and explain with the engineer's perspective why HTC is doing the right thing to make the best product, even if it doesn't sound as impressive.
[One (M7) General] Turb0wned:
You are thinking about picking the Galaxy S4S over the HTC One?:confused::eek:
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
You mean Galaxy S3S? ;)
[One (M7) General] naouris:
You're a champion Nick!
[One (M7) General] CNexus:
I see where you're coming from OP, HTC really lags sometimes when releasing kernel source versus Samsung

Personally, I'm a die-hard Sense man. I love it. Yet, my next will be Samsung because the super easy rooting and no need to do any "wire" tricks and all this risky stuff to root that comes with an HTC device now is a PITA. I mean Samsung comes with an unlocked bootloader versus locked HTC bootloader and also nand-locked. Makes it difficult to choose, but I'd rather go with greater dev support and higher chances of gaining root and gaining root safely.

And this has nothing to do with ingenuity. HTC is doing some nice things as notsointeresting pointed out, but the other things theyre doing is really making them dig their own grave, at least from the way i see it. I mean, the whole reason Android has gained so much ground on Apple and actually surpassed it was mainly because of the whole "open source" thing that lead to the creation of a huge developer / contributor community. Yet companies like Motorola, LG, and HTC make it really difficult to take advantage of these community-contributed material by locking their devices' bootloaders and generally making it difficult to root. In light of this, its no surprise that Samsung is so popular now
[One (M7) General] dmarco:
I'm seriously thinking about getting the HTC one, I am so done with Samsung and their plastic phones. My only concern with the HTC one is the non removable battery. Let me be more specific, I absolutely love rooting and flashing custom Roms on my phones. In the past when my phone would freeze and there was no other option, I would just pull the battery and presto, however, with a non removable battery what are we supposed to do if the phone freezes up on us... What are our options???
[One (M7) General] CNexus:
Throw it against a wall with a good case on? Lol idk, this was one of the things keeping me from getting the evo lte was it? Or whichever one had the nonremovable sdcard / battery
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Press and hold power for about 10 seconds and that simulates a battery pull.
[One (M7) General] dmarco:
Shut up!!! It's that easy?? Omg, sorry for sounding like such a noob, it's just that the HTC one will be my first phone with a non removable battery. I had no idea that's all you had to do. Thanks, can't wait to get my one now:D
[One (M7) General] riz157:
You know what I thought about how easy it is to root and flash roms on Samsung devices and how slightly more difficult it is to root etc htc. But then I thought could I own another plastic phone and every time the answer was "NO I couldn't" even if it was easier to root.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
Easy rooting is invalid with this device. You guys have not been in the dev section? There is a superroot where it roots your device at boot with just a file and a click.
[One (M7) General] Basil3:
You do realise it's the same with Samsung phones as well? Just holding power button is much easier than removing your phone from its case, taking off back cover, Battery pull, replace cover, replace case.... :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] stephen2282:
Seriously people saying Samsung is easier to root and HTC is worse at software development support, YOU GUYS MUST NEVER OWN BOTH OF THEM! ( p.s I have hox and s2 )

Odin is pratically the dumbest software to flash an OTA or root kernel or recovery. ( Okay not dumb but hard to use ) and Samsung OTA namings are the worst. With all the alphabets naming you need to search and search again for your desired version. Whereas HTC is so easy by looking at the numbers only. And updating an OTA only requires you to fastboot flash a stock recovery then run the OTA.exe then its done.

Besides, HTC always provide bootloader unlock on htcdev.com ( yes One is already available ). And its easy as 1,2,3 which I see no points for people always complaining about it. Although no S-Off really make something a lot more difficult on HOX, ( flashing kernel is a pain, yes ) but seeing how Snapdragon processors usually have problem to achieve a S-Off this is not a big issue too.

After living one year with non removable SD n battery I actually get used to it. With non-removable battery you won't have to pull ur precious battery cover apart to restart a phone freezes at flashing ROMs ( admit it you hate to take apart your phone, my heart just aches when taking apart battery cover of S2 or incredible S ) and with non-removable SD you always clean it up so less defragmentation occurs.

I may sound biased but this is truly from someone who has experienced them both. Hope it helps.
[One (M7) General] jthein1989:
I didn't mean "ingenuity". That's my fault. They are trying new things. The problem with doing that, is as soon as they make a niche in the market (think OG EVO), they change the concept...

I like that they are trying to be the first to do this or that, but they don't need to change every aspect of there device design with each new device... I mean, really?

I think most will agree with me on this, take the stereo sound out and fill that space with LI-PO... I would much rather the device last a little longer, than hear my phone ring 2 houses away.

And everybody claims that the screen is the number one thing about a smartphone, bullcrap. Software is, and if you can develop easier on one device than you can another, developers are probably gonna swing toward that device...

HTC needs to realise that "flagship" phones, with all their tech and wonder, are going to sell to the dev community (aside from the ONE uppers (pun intended)). But all they do is drive a wedge with there ridiculous locks and late source code releases.

Apple made it to where it is today because simplicity, people want simple devices (including devs). They are still at the top (albeit, as a fashion statement, rather than a phone now that Steve Jobs can influence the tech)... Numbers don't lie, they are the only constant in this universe, the only truly universal language.

Open-source is a brilliant idea, but when we can't use it on a device, it's basically a hard to use iPhone (locked-down), and nobody wants a device that they can neither work easily, nor change it to make it better... Which is the reason Samsung sells more devices, and has a HUGE dev following. The same reason they don't bother with a new fully aluminum chassis, because it sold before, it will again. If it is not broke, don't try to fix it.

I have my opinion, others have their opinions, I don't mind them, I just voice mine.
[One (M7) General] rpmccormick:
Developers make apps for every phone. Android = Android. You can tout software features from the brands all you want, but most people here on XDA use their own launcher and their own apps for any phone. Software is the number one thing, but all Android 4.1 and above devices are all running the exact same software in my book.

Don't get me wrong, I want to play with BlinkFeed and all, but at the end of the day I will probably go back to Zeam launcher, exDialer, GoogleVoice for texting, and the official FaceBook app... the exact same software I would use on any Android phone old or new.

EDIT: PreHome for task-switcher, MX Player for video, etc, etc, etc. The one thing I haven't found a good 3rd-party solution for is the camera app, so for that, I am excited to try this new Zoe thing (I thought of that idea 5 years ago... why take pictures when you can take 2-sec video and then make the best picture from it later).
[One (M7) General] jthein1989:
I agree with that, I'm a sense man myself. Thank you for your opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BadFoxtrot:
I've re-injected my IMEI into my Samsung Galaxy SIII, however I'm still having data issues. I followed Peoplearmy's thread to bring back my IMEI, and I reflashed my phone's modem from dstruct2k's thread.

After following these guides, I'm still getting really squirrelly connectivity, and can't get real 4G. My question is (in reference to the efs folder and NV's), if I were to get data from another SGH-I747 on AT&T, and just modify the IMEI, would that help bring my phone back to full functionality? Reading these posts (1, 2) made me ask this, but seeing as this is my 2nd post, I can't ask in that original thread. Any info is appreciated. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmbomb:
Just checked ATT Software Up-date on my Note...

Downloading a 36.58 MB up-date right now...

Im on stock CLF6... More later...

++ auto rebooted after D/L.... it went to TWRP..

I chose re-boot system...

++ Install interrupted..... could not install at this time...hmmmmm

I need to get rid of TWRP and do the up-grade check again...

Anyone know how to un-install TWRP?? thanks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zefir738:
Use Odin to flash the stock ROM image... It should restore stock recovery and everything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Dont worry, its not jb.

The only thing this update does is gives us keytones in the dialer again as far as i can see definitively.

It also reinstalls 11 bloat apps, att barcode scanner, facebook, and att family are 3 that i recall.

These all can be uninstalled easily by going to the playstore and conveniently, the 11 apps all need to be updated, or, if you prefer, do what i did and just unistall them.

Another app called Movies gets reinstalled, you can just uninstall it as well.

Two other possible changes that i cannot confirm because they might just be me, i havent benchmarked these...

The screen appears to be a tad darker when autobrightness is enabled.

The phone also appears to be slightly less sluggsih.

Two more small things my ram usage has decreased by about 50 mb on a fresh boot and it looks like there might be a small battery life improvement...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dbeatson:
This update from AT&T increases the Baseband Version to: I717UCMB4

It also increases the Build Number to: IMM76D.UCMB4

No change in Android Version or Kernel Version.

Though not Jelly Bean an update to the Baseband Version is always welcome.

I seem to have a better LTE connection since the update, usually at my home LTE is weak and intermittent, I usually switch back and forth between 4G and LTE and this morning I am solidly on LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildoggs:
Can someone post the full updated ROM here so I can flash it via Odin or cwm? Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildoggs:
Can someone post a link to the update? I've been trying to update it via the att servers but It just tells me my software is up to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
I was able to restore to stock UCLF6 using this method;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731654

It will wipe your data and internal SD, but put you back to stock UCLF6. Now I just need to wait for the update. When I check is says I'm up to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Same here.... it says I'm up to date..which is obviously not the case.

An update .zip would be nice, to get around all the failed update attempts...

Those who have managed to get the update loaded, are reporting a much improved LTE connection using the new baseband, and I have no doubt that the update contains new APN's and RIL's to go with the new baseband image....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ptgptg:
I got the update over the weekend. If someone can walk me through how to get it off my phone, I will happily post it here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
Just went into date and time settings, deselected auto date and time and auto time zone, manually set the date to 3/23, checked for updates and there it was. Successfully updated to UCMB4. Also noticed the ability to disable bloat apps. Don't remember having that feature before, not sure, but it's great to disable unwanted apps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ptgptg:
where is the ability to disable apps? Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
Settings/applications. Select the app, you will see force stop and disable options. (If you see uninstall updates, you need to uninstall them first, then the disable option will be visible) Then force stop the app, then select disable. Not all apps will have this option, but most bloat will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ptgptg:
I never knew that. Thanks,

It better be worth the last 5 hours of my life....LOL

good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Fyi, weve had the ability to disable apps since we got ics.

Earlier i stated we got keytones, it appears that we in fact did NOT.

The only thing this update appears to do is update the lte driver / baseband and reinstall 12 bloatware apps that can easily be unistallef.

After applying the update, open the market, go to the installed apps list and start uninstalling every app that requires an update. Then, scroll down to an app called movies and you can uninstall that as well (its the one app that gets reinstalled that is up to date.

Apps that i disable via settings -applications - uninstall updates button - disable button are as follows.

At&t hotspots

At&t Navigator

City id

Device Help

Google+

Media Hub

Yahoo Finance

Ypmobile

There are of course others you can disable but i like the samsung apps (notes and memo) and i use the accuweather and news apps, but these can also be disabled if you wish.

As one final note you will see a significant hit on battery performance the first two days of having the update but it will improve after a few days.

In addition, this updates appears to have reduced the amount of system ram / memory being used by 50 mb or so.

I personally have seen no performance improvement regarding connectivity, i live in the san antonio, tx area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] closeshave2:
Any chance somebody with the update can extract the UCMB4 modem and post it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Daman09:

Also, any chance that this modem will be incorporated into CM 10.1?

Try that one....it's the same one I used, and happens to be on this page, 4 posts back......

This is a complete (STOCK) UCLF6 ICS update file from AT$T....... when you are done downloading....extract the file to your desktop, or location of your choice, and use the MD5 file in Odin to factory restore your device.

It will also update your recovery, and baseband. The restore will also clean your internal SD card, so be sure to save anything you want too keep on external SD.

Once completed, and you have a good data and wifi connection, the update manager built into the Rom will prompt the update for you.

MAKE A COMPLETE NANDROID BACKUP FIRST, BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM !! ....because then you can restore your old build again and have the new baseband..assuming you are using an ICS build.

Note: This new build likely contains enhanced apn's and ril files to go with the new radio image, and if restoring a previous build to retain the new radio image, you will likely lose the new code that makes the radio improvements function....( until a DEV or other much more talented user than myself pulls the update into a package we can flash)

I am running the UCMB4 build with no root, to test any real changes. so far I see a good boost in my LTE reception, and enhanced backlight changes...(screen goes darker on low setting)...other than that, it's pretty much an average ICS build.. (STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY) (YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS HERE)...

Happy Flashing....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stewwmann:
no kies after update

Did anyone else notice that kies no longer recognizes the device as being able to update firmware from it after the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Been mentioned on other threads. You can always flash back to the previous ROM version or most likely kies will be updated when it is needed to be.
