[HTC One S] DrOfLife:
I also use viper one s 2.1.0 and the kernel that works best for me is ElementalX 3.3. (3.4 is out now though) it's stability is very good, for the few weeks I've had it, it went through a quick reboot twice. Speed is excellent and battery life is the best I've had ever. I love the ability of its customization that it offers.

Just my two cents

Hello

So i just wanted to make a small and clear thread where newbies like me can come and check the most common answers.

Okay so my questions are -

I am Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread Stock on my i777

I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.

My Phone -

Stock Kernel - i777UCKK6

Stock Rom - 2.3.6 - Gingerbread

I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.

So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?

And which rom should i flash ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rushaan™:

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

It's best to make your own choice. The best roms are available on these xda forums. If you don't like the first one you try, you can always switch.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rushaan™:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aturbs:
The only thing stopping me from getting this phone is I feel like it will get outdated pretty fast due to not being updated by HTC fast enough. It is already shipping with 4.1.2 even though 4.2.2 is already out.

I've never owned a HTC phone before so I'm wondering how long it will be until the 4.2 update. Also Key Lime Pie is coming out hopefully this summer, so then it will be even longer before they update to 5.0.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
To put it bluntly, No. HTC are aweful at releasing updates. If the the 5.0 update for the One is anything like Jellybean for the One X it will be a joke.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pointlol:
What are you talking about? JB release on the One X is fantastic, they actually implemented everything correctly which made it blazing fast... I'd like to hear an explanation
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiCk.JaY:
Exactly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craftycarper1:
Also depends on if you get a branded device, you have to wait for the carrier to test, fill it with bloatware etc before they release to their customers.

Unbranded devices usually get the updates etc pretty quick, and if you're rooted, you will likely get an update from devs before HTC even release it in general.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cihanleanne:
no they are not good my sensation xe dying on İCS very slow galaxy s2 had jelly bean for 2 mounths i guess sensation may never see jelly bean.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arknailed7754:
The updates for these types bring jack anyway. Pure android deffo worth the wait. HTC all your waiting us new sense variant. Nothing else you'll really notice. If you want to notice get the n5 when it's released
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
Once the update was finally rolled out JB was fantastic on the One X but it took HTC months and months to eventually get it rolled out to every One X because they did it based on CID.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arknailed7754:
I don't know man. I didn't see much difference
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
They probably didn't put 4.2.2 on there because it didn't add much to android. In fact some people will tell you it made it slower and worse. All it did was put some widgets on the lock screen, new widgets and bragging rights to people that have it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
4.2.2 is an update only made for aosp roms. Tell me what changes on 4.2.2 that will be implemented other than the version number? Gesture typing? Lockscreen widgets? Photo sphere? Already existed since sense 4. Im not sure about photosphere but i heard its 360 panorama which is also doable
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
HTC is pretty good with updates, it is always one of the first or even the first with updates to new android versions. People who say they are slow need to look at other OEM's and see how long it takes them...

And even if you can install a newer android version aosp rom, you will find that the older sense rom usually feels more like the upgrade compared to the newer aosp rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
HTC take longer than samsung with updates because they do have a far smaller team. Samsung is a massive company so it can probably test & develop many updates for loads of devices. HTC took a bit longer in releasing the JB update but it was far less buggy than the SGS3 update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
I think we will see fast updates with the HTC one as this handset is definitely make or break for HTC

I have a branded 3 handset who have become very fast at pushing out updates

On my note 2 3 UK pushed out quicker than my unbranded handset they released 4th Jan but it was around early march when my unbranded finally got the update

If the one gets 4.2.2 and destroys the WiFi like the n4 and n7 I'll be livid
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
It wont be the same with HTC. The One X update was delayed for a month or so whilst 3 branded it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
After installing 4.2 on my Nexus 7, I couldn't tell the difference really and I actually found those lock screen widgets annoying, but as already stated Sense 3 brought this to the table back with the Sensation (if you count the lock-screen shortcuts as widgets, otherwise Sense 4) so personally I don't think it's a big deal.

The problem HTC is going to have, is people that work in phone shops. They just want to sell a phone in my experience and I can just imagine them saying 'but the S4 is much better than the One as the One's software is already outdated' or something along those lines.

At the end of the day 4.2 will bring ABSOLUTELY NOTHING more than what 4.1 already gives. The only addition would be whatever HTC adds onto Sense. With devices such as the Sensation or Desire, HTC was awful at supporting them as the Desire was already out of support after 10 months. However, as also previously stated, with the One X HTC really ramped things up. Jellybean arrived just a few weeks after Samsung, and brought a much larger plethora of updates along with it.

Don't worry, HTC got you :good:

This is HTC, not Apple.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gelo01:
The only one to blame with the delay of updates are the carriers. Just like what's happening between tmobile and the One S. JB for the One S was released last december for unbranded phones, and it's almost april but tmobile hasn't released JB yet. That doesn't mean that will also happen to the One, but imo, it's the carriers' fault why HTC is always known from being slow in updating their phones, even if they aren't really.

[Galaxy S 4 General] squidder:
Finally getting this feature back. I miss the days when I was in school with my pocket PC. I was constantly messing with the teachers by turning off/on the TV and changing channels. I also used to jack with friends by copying the ir in their garage remote and open and close their garage. Anybody else happy to see this return?
[Galaxy S 4 General] skibadee:
The child in me had made various ideas of ir abuse cross my mind :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
Lol

S4 INFO
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spikelangelo:
I very much miss IR from my Palm days. Once again I can have a universal programmable remote that never gets lost!
[Galaxy S 4 General] squidder:
Yes! I was so disappointed when ir was removed from devices. I understand there are better alternatives for most thing you use it for, but its like everyone completely forgot about the ir being used as a remote control. Whoever realized this and put it back in phones God bless them.
[Galaxy S 4 General] PLUG313:
I'm so happy about this, too!

are there any apps that can take more advantage of this?

or does the stock S4 app really handle everything?
[Galaxy S 4 General] squidder:
There will be plenty of solid apps, count on it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
I assume someone would find an unconventional way of using it

But for your tv it's already there

U just need to set it up

[Galaxy S 4 General] jameslfc5:
So I presume there'll be an app that will allow me to control my LG and Samsung TV, even though these are not Smart TVs? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
U have to set it up like a universal remote

[Galaxy S 4 General] harise100:
AW: Infrared.

When I was a kid, I had a watch with IR, and I was switching off every TV I came across. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] squidder:
I'm sure there will be an automatically program function where u point it at the TV or take the TV remote and point at the phone. Back in the day on my ppc all I had to was point the remote or the garage door opener to the device and it was ready to go
[Galaxy S 4 General] Closed Source Project:
You'll have the option to select the TV's make and model from a list and it will auto tune the frequency for you. It will work with all kinds of TV's smart, dumb, HD, 4:3, etc... Can't wait for this one!

Hopefully cable providers will take advantage of this and offer apps that can control the cable box as well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] PLUG313:
that sounds like really hard work lol

what if I want to fool around turning off random tvs?

how will I know the model xD the brand is rather easy to spot though

[Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
Yep as long as your cable box is IR.

I have a logitech Harmon universal remote and it works with anything that is IR.

If you don't know what if it's IR, just get a camera and point it at the front of the remote and hit a button. You'll be able to see a light (through the camera)

but I sure hope someone does
[Galaxy S 4 General] in silico:
Is there any documentation of the IR API?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spikelangelo:
If the software has a learning feature, it should. All infrared devices work the same way. You just might have to link it to a pre-titled button like VCR-play or something of that nature.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
Yes it will work for air conditioning(Ceiling fans I don't know). The app already have an impressive database and is intelligent. More details here ->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204008
[Galaxy S 4 General] jay2the1:
I wonder if you can have it as a media center remote, I would like to see an app that lets you build your own remote with custom learns and button placements.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
The app knows some home setups are messy - some let you change channels with the TV remote, others require you to use the set-top box remote for that. Same for the audio, you might be using the TV to output the sound or an AV receiver. The app will ask about your setup and present a unified remote control interface even if you have multiple hardware remotes to control all the devices.

I can already see the practical jokes you can do with this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] johnk1973:
I'm wondering about the range of the IR, on the old HTC models before they finally got rid of it the range was barely a couple of meters :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] squidder:
Samsung is not that dumb, they wouldn't advertise it this way otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cbunting:
IR Garage door remote? Tell me how that works? lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
Maybe it's a special door with a big hole to let the IR pass. lol:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] PLUG313:
lol even my school teachers have remotes to open the gates to the parking lot, it's pretty common really
[Galaxy S 4 General] slapdaddy:
Those are probably RF signals and not IR signals. IR signals have to have absolutely zero interference. If they're really IR signals...I sense much trolling in the future lol.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Ressor:
I found this thread searching for API information on the Galaxy S4 IR API, but I can't seem to find any info yet.

I have written an app for all Android devices that does what most people are talking about in this thread, but requires the external SQ Blaster from squareconnect to support IR functionality.

PhoMote in the play store...

If I can ever find the Galaxy S4 IR API information, I'd like to support the internal IR as well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] i.amtom:
I use it to turn on and control my xbox 360 :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] pblocal:
so whats the best app to use?

I cannot find one on my phone so I am assuming I must get one from the Play store?

I saw this one but it is $10.00

Smart Remote for Galaxy S4

I looked around a bit and found some MUCH more expensive!

Being that I do not think I will use it that much so wondering if there is a free one out there that will work well....

anyone have any opinions on this?

Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :

- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)

- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)

Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen

Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone :(:(
