Huh? Kind of shooting the messenger, no? Since the One's unibody was first shown off I've been curious about how it's held together because it's a very unsual design no matter who built it. Drop tests and tear downs give a lot of insight in to questions I'm sure I'm not alone in having. Sorry if the answer's aren't "fun" and I have nothing to do with the outcome of any tests the One or any other device are subjected to. I'd be just as shocked if another brand's device had a repairibility score of "1." And as I said in another thread, devices get the forum's they deserve. If once in people's hands the One is a "happy" device that's what the forum will reflect. After a year of sticking your fingers in the holes in the dyke that was the One X forum you should know that by now.

And "aluminum" as a material isn't what determines repairibility it's engineering and design focused on facilitating it to keep repair costs down. Here's how the "other" aluminum phone did.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
One X owners are happy, go ask in their thread

the one x been flying and great device every since the software issues were fixed with the 2.17 update and defects cleared TWO MONTHS after release

you are in fact extremely patronizing and insulting

comparing to the iPhone is useless if the device like claimed by iFixit was not intended to be repaired!
[One (M7) General] jngtt:
hamdir, do u have any idea how to remove the speaker covers? ifixit looked like they butchered the phone with an axe, there must be another way to have a simpler break down

BTW ifixit said it was all "A"s after the back was removed, meaning removing the backplate was the hardest part
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes the speaker covers are currently falling out on their own in defected units and in drop test its flying easily, so really they didnt need to butcher it like this

they acted under the impression that the entire device is uni body and hence started with the screen, if you notice all the way through the tear down they never removed the speakers

its all hilarious really
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Yea i noticed them saying the zero gap phone had a gap when they removed the screen. As far as I am aware the zero gap is to do with the back of the phone and the plastic surround after watching htc's video on how it's built.
[One (M7) General] randombirt:
The plastic sides look similar to pvc cladding without the "gel"? Coat, ie look at the endgrain of the cladding strip.

Hamdir: Do you have the proper disassembly guide then? As it is, this will be impossible to take apart to replace the battery or screen.
[One (M7) General] Dazrin:
If you look at the pictures for that quote, you will see that they are talking about the QC from the factory who had written all over the interior of the case. Your meaning, while probably true, isn't what they meant.
[One (M7) General] hung2900:
I like how HTC has tried to make the One more sturdy for customers. However, I doubted how the production can make a large amount of aluminum body, and now I'm sure it's even harder with this kind of assembling. Not very good idea for production
[One (M7) General] panflute:
Gotta think about this one

Chipworks didn't say anything about the level of difficulty with dissembling. Nothing I saw anyways. This puts a little doubt in my mind looking down the road a couple of years. In 2-3 years it will be time to replace the battery...then what? WE HAVE SOME GREAT LOCAL REPAIR GUYS, BUT WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHOUT WRECKING THE PHONE? Good question huh? How much would a 2-3 year old HTC ONE be worth, if anyone were to consider buying a used ONE?

My current phone, an ATRIX 4G, now 3 years old, had a couple of problems last year. The volume rocker mechanism broke and had to be replaced. I'm also not on the original battery. I have 3 spare batteries just in case. Carrying around a small 10,000mah charger from Ebay

(for $24.95) is an option. But really if something goes wrong with the phone (out of warranty) you may just have to buy a new phone. This means that you cannot count on any trade in value on the phone. If you can live with that, OK. But you still need insurance in case there is a problem along the way.

Just food for thought guys.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
This is great! This confirmed my speculation that HTC is just using a single modem for Asia, EU and all other variants of the HTC One! Thanks to the MDM9215M chipset it has!

What it means is

LTE:

EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz

US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz

US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz

US (Sprint): 1900 MHz

Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

is only 1 single phone.

So yeah we could cross flash basebands to unlock certain bands. US carriers could purchase the HTC One from Europe then when S-Off is already available they could just flash a baseband of the US model then they should have LTE instantly. Or better yet it's already a world phone by default. Since they are using the same modem chipset with the likes of Xperia Z & ZL.

Why is the thumbnail data saved by the stock gallery so much? The files take up about 1.4GB :eek::confused:on my internal sd card which I need for other stuff...is there any solution to reduce this usage ???

Thanks if you could help me.:D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Its normal I think.... Probably because you have lots of Pictures and Videos..... For me, the cache files takes upto 700 MBs max btw.. its useless to clean this cache as the Gallery app will re-build it again the next time when you open the app...

Unfortunately the only way to reduce the size of the cache is by either deleting some of your Pictures/Videos or try different Gallery app.. :)

I have an unlock Samsung Galaxy Relay with Android 4.0.4.

With the options of keeping date and time zone synchronized with the network, I was getting the wrong time (GMT 00:00 insted of my actual GMT -03:00). So I decide to disable the automatic syncrhonization and set the time zone fixed.

But every time I power off my phone an restart it, this settings are automatically reset (date and time zone syncrhonized with the network activated) and my time wrong once again.

Is there any way to fix this?

By the way, I don't have in the stock rom any option to synchronize with an NTP time server.

Hi All

I tried the ace hack kit again to get s-off and really messed up

It went through the process until it said radio flashed please wait....

Phone rebooted and stuck on the white htc screen

Managed to recover with a pd98.img but this has wiped my root and 4ext and the phone boots into 2.33 sense 2.1

hboot has changed from 2.0xxxxxxx to 0.85.0024

Problem is when i do the htcdev procedure to unlock the bootloader i get an error when running fastboot oem get_identifier_token

It just says bootloader command error

Help!!

Then you will need to make a Goldcard then download the WWE Version then run the .exe and get the rom.zip file copied some where then with goldcard inplace run fastboot with the following commands

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

That will then flash it. make sure before running fastboot your in the same place as fastboot and the rom.zip file though
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuuk:
Ok made the goldcard (hopefully)

My image build is 2.50.405.2

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
After some experimentation, I finally figured out how to mount a swapfile from init.d

But first! A disclaimer!

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I am TOTALLY not reponsible if you brick your own phone. This procedure is provided 'as-is', with no guarantee of non-damage, or functionality.

I *do* use this script, and it's working as I expected, but YMMV.

Now, on with the Tip...

SAFETY PRECAUTION

Install (flash) the TWRP recovery first. If all goes well, you can flash your favorite recovery back.

PREREQUISITE

You need:

A rooted phone (of course!)

.

A kernel that supports swapfiles

.

A busybox that provides the following applets: nohup, basename, dirname, renice

The latest busybox by @stericson happens to provide all needed applets.

.

A working init.d infrastructure

PROCEDURE

Make sure that the directory /data/scripts exists (create one if it doesn't)

Create a swapfile by running the following commands from within Terminal (change "64" to the size (in MiB) of the swapfile you want):

su
TARG=/sdcard/.swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=$TARG bs=$((1024*1024)) count=64
mkswap $TARG
echo "SWAPFILE=$TARG" > /data/scripts/wait-mount-swap.conf

Download the attached script, rename it to "wait-mount-swap.sh"

Copy the script to the /data/scripts folder

Run the following commands from within Terminal:

su
WMS=/data/scripts/wait-mount-swap.sh
FIL=/system/etc/init.d/99swap
chmod 0777 $WMS
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "#!/bin/bash
nohup $WMS &
" > $FIL
chmod 0755 $FIL

WARNING: Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you must follow the above code *exactly*!! DO NOT add spaces to 'make it easier to read'; DO NOT forget to enter the whole line (including that ampersand '&' symbol).

Reboot

Wait up to 1.5 minutes

Check the /data/scripts/wait-mount-swap.log; the last line should declare "..successful!"

Check using the 'free' command from Terminal

Got Stuck in BootLoop?

Power off your phone, then boot into TWRP recovery.

Tap "Mount".

Check (X) "Mount System"

Tap "Home icon"

Tap "Advanced"

Tap "File Manager"

Go to /system/etc/init.d

Tap on "99swap"

Tap "Rename File"

Append ".disabled" (that's dot-disabled), and tap Enter

Swipe to confirm

Tap "Home icon"

Tap "Reboot"

Tap "System"

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Technical Explanation

The gist of the method are two parts: The script and the nohup line. We'll begin with the latter.

If you analyze the 99swap file in /system/etc/init.d, you can see that it has only one all-important line:

nohup /path/to/script.sh &

The ampersand "&" at the end of the line means: Run this line as a background (separate) process.

The 'secret sauce' is the "nohup" command: It makes the background process stay alive even when the invoking process (i.e., the init.d script) terminates.

So, at the end of the 99swap initscript, the initscript terminates, but wait-mount-swap.sh is still running in memory.

Now, for reasons unknown, the SD Card is not mounted during init.d processing. So, the wait-mount-swap.sh script must wait until the SD Card is available before it can activate the swapfile located in the SD Card.

If you analyze the wait-mount-swap.sh script, you can see that after being invoked, the script will sleep for 30 seconds before attempting to activate the swapfile. If after the 'initial sleep' the script doesn't find the swapfile, it sleeps again for 10 seconds, and repeat the process. If after 5 attempts the swapfile still hasn't appear, it gives up and exits gracefully.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honzin2009:
Thank you, script now working well but the swap file is still not mounted after boot :).

I will solve it by manual mounting of swap file after each boot, as I do now.

Great mounting with delay

Hi everybody

too late to post in this forum? :D

I see last reply is of 2013 ;)

The man who invented this delayed engine did a great thing :good::good::good::good::good:

The Background is a GT-P5200 stock ROM - android 4.4.2. In less words: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

I tried different methods, apps and scripts, but without lucky. I tried with Rhoesoft RAMExpander

Test

, that told me: your device is compatible...

Not sure 100%, I tried some free apps, with the target to see confirmed that swapfile works, before spending money and discovering that the swap don't autostart at boot. The apps I tried, they created the swapfile, but at boot it was never loaded... Furthermore I don't like having one more app continuously in execution, only to drive the swapfile. So with many doubts, I tried some scripts... But one of them tolds me that my (stock) kernel hasn't swap support :(:crying::eek:

I'm little stubborn, because I began my swapfile adventure, inputting commands on terminal emulator, forced to learn what does every command. And learning I had feeling that swapfile works, with the only exception of being constrained to swapon manually from the emulator.

So (stubborn) I tried other scripts, to perform this autoload on boot... but never working! I read so many things in many forums, looking for a solution, but for an inexperienced ... things too heavy to digest.

The turning point is thanks to you, [MENTION=4770485]pepoluan[/MENTION]

You must know that after every boot, if I open the terminal rapidly, the cursor becomes active after a few minutes.... about 3-4 minutes.

So maybe... if my device is slow to boot, when the SD card will be available?

The conclusion: I took the pepoluan script, and modified the swapfile lines, and initial delay: where there was 30 I put 250 :cowboy:

it is better to wait 5 minutes, as long as they are quiet

:D:D:D

So i Have No Idea Whats Wrong With it. Please Help Me
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Does your computer fail to install QHUSB_DLOAD drivers when you plug your phone into the computer?

If so, you, my friend, have a brick.

If not, then you probably still have a brick to be honest. But it may be retrievable. I believe that you need Linux and a basic understanding of Linux coding to unbrick.
[HTC One S] Agumby:
This happened to me after flashing a ROM - I thought I bricked my phone but here is the steps I took to get it back to working.... Hopefully it works for you if it stills dead.

1.Plug in your phone (you will see the solid orange LED on) let it charge over night/or until the LED turns green.

2.HOLD power+Volume UP down until you see the screen blink - keep holding until the phone boots up! (This will hard reset your phone)

3.Boot into recovery after initial boot up/or if it bootloops - by pushing VolumeDOWN+Power.

4.wipe/cache/dalvik -

5.install ROM - fastboot BOOT.IMG if S-ON

6.enjoy phone again!

Hopefully this works for you like it did for me! the key thing is to charge your(dead)phone until you see the GREEN LED light.

Good luck!

[HTC One S] Jnanadarshan:
Just do one thing, Open Device manager and Connect the phone.

If the PC detects the device and then disappears or a question mark remains showing "Unknown Device" then its Dead/Bricked.

If it still remains there try wiping and pushing boot images and recoveries. If its do not detect then you'll need Linux and try searching in commands for that.

If it shows QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager, you have probably flashed something for another device which resulted in a brick.

Could draining the battery down will help?. That should wipe out all shell memory. I do not know if plugging into computer( as drive) will drain the battery. If you more adventurous, you could open the case and see if you can remove battery. Let the caps drain overnite and put it back. Just a though - it my work since android is a shell OS and reside in high memory.
