I think, the bigger battery consumption depends on the slower processor and the much brighter display of the HOX.

Talking about screen between both of these phones, i don't seem to find a difference... May be i will find if i do a side to side comparison!

My HOX+ screen has a weird green tint on it and not as bright compared to my HOX... But I get amazing battery life on it :D
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
My Hox+ is just one week old, i am waiting for the battery to settle down!
[HTC One X] csec:
Have you tried custom kernel/ROM yet?! ;)

You were really concerned about it!!! :D
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Still locked :mad: My initial experience with HOX is making me to wait and make sure that my device is okay hardware wise.

They had replaced my phone which had unlocked BL with an approval from regional service head, needless to say it pissed me off and made me to waste lot of time.

Now if i find issues on the hardware and that too with a unlocked BL, the service guys would be mad at me :)
[HTC One X] csec:
Wow, lots of restrictions!!!

I hope you get your approval for unlocking BL, soon! :thumbup:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wizzie86:
Hi,

Whether I'm on the latest SlimBean, CM10 or CM9, battery life is always bad for me. I don't have draining apps and when the phone is idle it's not using battery at all. The problem lies within usage, when I'm using my phone, the battery life goes down too fast (when I'm using Whatsapp and Gmail. Especially when you compare it to stock.

I've done a bit of reading and many people suggest the Modem and Kernel files can have a huge impact on battery life.

So, I wonder, what would you guys recommend to increase my battery life during usage?

I've found this thread with modems: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1870460

(My wish is a fast phone with a ROM that looks nice, like the latest SlimBean, but I appreciate battery life more. However, a rooted Gingerbread stock ROM goes so slow...)
[HTC One X] robchongke:
i have my phone since ICS. Right now i'm having this weird issue. i installed trickster mod and it says i have an outdated busybox so i updated it then after sometime phone doesnt receive/sent text messages. i don't know if its the busybox that cause the problem. i've been flashing mods before and i never encountered this problem. is flashing RUU the same as factory reset? will i lose all my media files if i flash RUU? i just want to clean my phone from unnecessary files. any suggestions? TIA
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Just uninstall busybox and trickster .... and yes a ruu deletes everything !

Or just return back to stock with the stock nandroid backup you made in the first place........because everybody has a stock nandroid backup !
[HTC One X] robchongke:
thanks. i do have backup but i'll maybe try the RUU. for fresh and clean HOX.

Do you have any ideea how to remove the lg lockscreen from Cavefire rom and get back the ICS one ?

PS.I don't want apps like Go Locker Holo Locker..they tend to be slow
[HTC Wildfire S] NikSalsa:
You can try to change framework, from other ics roms, or edit it, but i dont know what you should edit :(
[HTC Wildfire S] razmwm:
and where can i find the framework and how can i install it?
[HTC Wildfire S] NikSalsa:
Answer

You can use framework from another ics cm9 rom! :good:

So you can find it in zip>system>framework>framework-res.apk!

You need to replace to your phone and nex with root browser replace to system>framework!

So that all you need! so after this you need to reflash you gapps to fix some problems! and enjoy our standart ics locscreen! :laugh:

If you have questions, please write back to PM!

So but you have another way, you can wait for this weekend i ll release new build without this locscreen! :p
[HTC Wildfire S] razmwm:
I tried this method with the framework from jelly king 2.0 but it didn't worked..so i'll wait for your new build..looking forward to it :D
[HTC Wildfire S] NikSalsa:
Maaaan u can use framework from another ICS! Not jelly bean, so i released new build but i dont edit locscreen :(

[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riddley:
Problem: If I leave my Q idle overnight (I only use it mornings) I have to reboot it in order to play music on it.

Details: I'm controlling it with a Nexus 7. The N7 will see the reboot happen "Lost connection with Nexus Q" so I don't think it's a connectivity issue. I did notice that for whatever reason you have to be on the same wireless frequency as the Q to control it. My N4 and N10 are on 5Ghz and they can't talk to it at all. I'm using a Netgear R6300. The N7 reports "Unable to play requested stream." when I try to use the Q.

I called Google about it and no one at the support center even knew what it was. "I know you said it's a Nexus Q, but what *is* it? What does it look like? ... Everyone is huddled around my desk trying to figure out what this thing is! ... Have you tried calling the manufacturer?"

OK. So in stock roms, both H/W+ and S/W decoders in MX Player work without any issues. I have a few videos that are not playable with H/W decoder, so I really want S/W. I also prefer H/W+ because of the better playback. But on AOSP based roms none of them work. Is this the same in all non TW roms? Is there any solution? Or I should just give up?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ErikBush97:
As most of you know, the Epic 4G Touch A.K.A E4GT, Just recently received the 4.1.2 (Build GB27/GB28) update. Since we're behind on the 4.1.2 update, do you think we'll see 4.2.2 before they release 4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Just a guess, but no. The international S2 may see it, and we can port it, but Sprint won't push anymore updates as they've deemed this device EOS.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
It would be nice but I doubt it as well. More than 4.2.2, I wish Sprint would give us the USB-OTG functionality, if it's possible through a software update they can simply push to us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Behind compared to many other phones, but ours was the first sgs2 US variant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Don't think so. But I'm okay with 4.1.2

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ErikBush97:

It doesn't make sense. Maybe if sprint still allowed us 1 upgrade a year....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ErikBush97:
I'm on virgin mobile. It's more about Samsung, than it is about your carrier
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aman1127:
It is carrier too because in Europe they buy their phones out right. here in the us we have contracts. So it would make sense ffor manufacturers to support older phones. However supporting old phones will prevent people from getting new ones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
We might see 4.2.2 since it would be considered a minor upgrade from 4.1.2

It all depends on what Samsung plans on doing with the Galaxy S II family of devices. It was and still is their number 1 selling device and it has good enough specs to support 4.2.2, we'll just have to wait and see. We won't really know much since Sextape is no longer going to provide any leaks for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I believe Samsung will push 4.2. The titanium version is not that old. Think of all the people who just got one for free on contract. Also Sprint's prepaid versions of the e4gt came months after ours. Samsung already said 4.2 was coming for the S2. I believe that would be the final update before its put to rest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
March 2013 was 18 months after release. So I very much doubt we will see official TouchWiz 4.2. However, our phone already has AOSP 4.2, and if (more likely when) the i9100 gets a TouchWiz 4.2, we will almost certainly see a port, since we use much of the same hardware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Samsung will be relasing a direct to you 4.2 around the 2year anniversary of the device as the final major update to the s2 line. After the 4.2 push all s2's will be EOL'd by sammy and only maintenance updates will be issued for any major bugs in 4.2 ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Do you have a source for this? I would love to read it! That's pretty awesome of them to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They're doing it on all device's starting with s2. They're going to support them out 24 month's even without carrier support by using the kies direct download updates. A friend of mine that works for Samsung is the one who told me they're doing this. She said almost every device they manufactured after jan 1, 2011 will be supported for 24 months whether the carrier's support them or not. Even the budget device's will be supported the same way. It was the number 1 complaint they received and a majority of the update issues were due to carrier delays so they decided if the carrier's reject the update they'd do direct download updates via kies to keep their support agreement with Google intact. They made an agreement with Google and the OHA (Open Handset Alliance) to support all device's for 18+ months and decided after reviewing complaints from customers that they would support for 24 months, the average length of a carrier contract.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
It's about surplus inventory. More specifically it's about selling off the remaining Wimax SoCs and getting some revenue off WiMax, itself, until Sprint stops supporting it. They did the same thing with the Evo 3D. You can also buy a Virgin Hotspot for $120 and get unlimited WiMax (with 2GB of unthrottled 3G fallback) for $35/mo, which is a steal in some markets. However, the EOL for these devices is determined by how quickly they can liquidate them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Fantastic! :D

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
BTW I only know for sure the intl s2 and gsm US s2's will get 4.2 but there is a very high chance the CDMA versions will get it as well. Typically when the international version gets an update the US versions get it ported over a few months later after they have the time to make the network specific changes and test everything. It's actually fairly simple for Samsung to build 1 version for their main international model and then migrate it to the rest of the device's in the same family without having to waste time and resources completely rebuilding everything for a specific device. Think of it like AOSP they build 1 main branch in their repo and compile it and test on their main flagship (nexus for AOSP, International models for Samsung in this case). Once they have a solid working build then they fork the repo and start adding device trees for other models and then compile and test until they get most of the bugs out and get a stable enough build to be confident it won't destroy someone's phone when it updates.

Frankly, 4.1 and 4.2 look almost identical. If anything, I would prefer a further optimized 4.1 over a whole new 4.2 release.

Everyone on this thread that is clamoring for 4.2, my question is this: What exactly do you want out of 4.2, besides a .1 version difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Lock screen widgets, and better ADB security.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gobaers:
Quick settings - Would be genuinely use, especially to have a portrait/landscape lock. Seems like a Touchwiz oversight, though.

user profiles - on a phone?

better security - haven't really noticed any security issues with 4.1. Sure, there are probably a lot of under-the-hood security improvments, but nothing user-facing.

lock screen widgets - in keeping with security, I always use pattern or passcode unlock, so non-issue here. It does afford some customization, which is whole point of Android, so point here.

further optimized code - pretty vague. Having touchwiz already bogs down performance a bit, not sure 4.2 would be any better than 4.1.

more features unlocked in the kernel like ext4 support for sd - as an end user, I don't really find any benefit in this. 4GB files, on slow-ass SD cards? why bother?

So benefit would be marginal, at best. If the performance is measurably better, of course I would welcome an update. I'm just not sure there would be that much benefit from all that dev time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Well if you don't want it, you don't have to have it. All of us that want it have reasons that are legitimate no matter how miniscule. It is all about user preferences.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Just want to point this out... User profiles is already built into 4.1 it just wasn't fully enabled yet. You can use an app or create profiles manually however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Thank you! I want the added features 4.2 brings. Especially the lockscreen widgets. Nothing wrong with wanting a up to date version of android..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gobaers:
I understand wanting the latest and greatest, but what, exactly, do people want out of 4.2? I would guess, "4.2 is a higher number than 4.1, so it must be better."

Ultimately, if they do release 4.2, I'll be happy to upgrade to it. All I am saying is that it won't kill me not to have it, because the changes are so minor. There are probably better uses for devs' time, like getting GS3 on KLP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
If you are talking about Samsung devs, they will have an entire additional year to work on KLP for gs3, as it won't be EOL until summer 2014.

If you are talking about devs here, i wouldn't assume they have s3's. Anyone who got s2 when it first launched would have to buy s3 off contract, which is $600-700. Remember that some devs for this phone are still in high school.

And either way, 4.2 for the i9100 is confirmed by Samsung. They are already developing the software for s2's, it's only a question of whether they release it for our variant.

I'd like to hope we will see it. From what I read, Sprint pushed a minor update to the Evo OG just a couple months ago, which is more then 2 years after its initial release. Hell, nearly a year after it came off the market. So let's hope Samsung and Sprint can work together to get us one more. :)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Dartman-x:
I have never tried to root a phone and don't know if I ever will (scared to brick it), but I think I'll order the HTC One 64GB Dev model. Why? Well, I am still mid-contract with ATT on my SG3, so for the same price (or perhaps a bit less) I can have an unlocked SIM and not have unnecessary ATT programs and logo on the phone. I hope I am correct in assuming that:

1) I can "plug and play" my current ATT SIM card into the HTC One and it will work just fine.

2) If HTC releases updates, I will be able to get them faster than those who are on ATT branded phones.

Are there any concerns I should have? Thank you!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
Yes and yes
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
Only concerns are warranty. Its probably easier to get a replacement through ATT if something is wrong. But since you have another device to use while its sent back to HTC, then this maybe a very minor concern. I am getting square trade or similar warranty on my dev edition when it arrives. I think someone said with facebook coupon it was like $90 with a $99 deductible. Much better than ATT (asurion) insurance which as $199 deductible.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Dartman-x:
Ah thanks. I will look into the warranty concept. I probably won't have a backup phone cuz I'd likely sell the SG3 to help fund the new One.

Hi Everyone,

I recently moved to Boston and I bought a new SGS3 and a mobile number. I have also updated all my location/address details in my profile and Google account settings.

But still when I try to download some apps from the Google Play store (Like say "google voice" for instance), I am not able to download or install it, and I get the error message saying that the app is not available in "my country" or "the app is compatible with the device"?

How is this possible? I saw from Google Voice webpages that it is available in the US! As I mentioned earlier, I just used Google Voice as an example.. but there were few other apps too that I couldn't download.

Can someone let me know how can I download these apps or why am I not able to download these apps though the device was bought in the US, registered to a US number, etc?

Thanks in advance. Cheers...
[HTC One V] sdxben:
Help, I will describe the following and any help I would love. I have the PRIMOC VM usa HTC ONE V.

Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit I have successfully Unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP recover 2.4.4, got root, and made a backup.

I then continue on to wipe cache and system and Factory reset to prepare to install ANY ROM. When I try to install the rom every time it just says Error in /sdcard/...[wherever rom is] (Status 1) FAILED

So then I proceed to restore my backup (this is why you always make a backup) and that works fine

Does the "(Status 1)" mean anything important?

I thought this was happening because I was running the newer radio so I used the RUU tool and now am using the good radio (not 0928) But this did not fix anything. This same thing happens over again. I have checked to make sure and I do have full root privileges.

I then tried to flash boot.img first and jmz kernel flashed successfully, but no rom will flash.

Why will NO ROM install?

I feel like I am missing something obvious but can't figure it out.

Also, whenever I do the factory restore it goes through all the process then fails when trying to wipe sd:ext , but my card is not partitioned. <I didn't know if that would be any help>

I am not a complete newb at all of this (running lg optimus for years- just new to the htc methods)
[HTC One V] sdxben:
NEED Help please...

Can anyone help me out with this?

I have not made any progress since yesterday. I am successful at flashing kernels, I have flashed the boot.img of the sic kernel, but on both kernels I have no WiFi with the stock ROM.

So I either need to find the stock boot.img or have help flashing a ROM that fails everytime.

When every instruction says "Extract ROM" that is only to pull out the boot.img right, we don't flash an extracted package you flash exactly what you downloaded right?
[HTC One V] Obeezy562:
When u flash sickkernel make sure you also install the zip through your recovery that should fix your WiFi problems and which recovery are you using ? Twrp or cwm?
