[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] forajay.mallya:
Hi. I had the same problem as you people (no battery charging animation when power off and connected to wall charger). I don't know any software stuff but I did this and it worked for me.

I am currently using i9300 with illusion ROM. All I did was. Extracted some 25 files found in the omega ROM zip (system/media/(some battery animation.qmg) and put it in system/media of current ROM. And its working perfectly...no kernel change. Please tell me if it works for you people :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokuzumi:
I will have the charging LED when I plug in, but if I get a notification, it will start to blink the notification LED. If I clear the notification, the LED comes back. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works on my phone. I haven't performed too much investigative work into this one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MDCNK:
Thanks man, I am experiencing the same issue with SlimBean 4.3 Stable Build 1, will attempt your fix and report back!

UPDATE:

It worked! I took all the /system/media/*.qmc files from a 4.2.2 Omega ROM and added them to my phone's /system/media/ folder. Had to use Root Browser to do so since ES File Explorer gave permissions error even though Root Explorer was on.

Both charging animation + LED are back. :)

I have always bought Samsung for the last few years but thought of give the new HTC one a chance how I regret it

3 replacements and still have issues so I've thrown in the towel and arranged a replacement in a few weeks to the s4 so back to Samsung I come

Question one of the biggest things with the one is the speakers I presume the s4 will still have tiny speakers ?

Have Samsung sorted the emmc chip problem out as my note 2 died onme hence jumping ship

Tbh im looking forward to turning to Samsung just hope the handset is as good as people make out
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrvirginia:
check out the reviews thread. one of them has comparisons of the speakers. i have an S3 and it's not tiny. the S4 is supposed to be a little louder in some aspects so it'll be fine. prob not HTC One loudness but it won't be tiny sounding.

not sure about emmc. looks like it was sorted out back with the S2/Note 1. i'd suspect it would be fixed for S4.

edit: off topic, what was wrong with all 3 of your HTC One's?
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Your name is familiar either with the S3 or nexus 4 forum.... Anyways

What was wrong with the One?
[Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00345:
Might be time to change your signature, eh? "HTC one... Best phone I've ever had"
[Galaxy S 4 General] mancuk29:
Hi mrvirginia

The first one had an issue with the camera when taking video's had an awful hiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1xApO0wN8

also the home / back button didn't work properly (and still the case on my 3rd replacement hence why ive thrown the towel in)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5ZBhJiFfjY

Second one which arrived - well what can I say !

Proximity sensor didn't work

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otsa0_gkVI8

Back/home lights didn't work - presume down to the sensor not working

and it also had an horrendous screen problem where white glowed through because it wasn't sealed

I don't think ill get htc one speaker quality just don't want really low

Really disappointed at HTC but now know why I went to Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 General] mancuk29:
Changed :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 General] jkforce:
I never htc phine and i always used samsung phone so far. Since i use sg3 now i was going to give htc one this time, but seeing you had third replacement with different problems i think i will wait for either sg4 or something else.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrvirginia:
man, that sucks. well, in the past i've had more problems with Sammy phones over HTC. S2 had a nickel sized ring on the screen that i didn't notice until after it was too late to send back. Galaxy Nexus had banding issue and when i sold it, it had been used for about 6mon and then off for a straight 6mon. turned it on and it had some bad burn-in lines. S3 screen has a few black splotches when looking at completely black screen in a dark room. had the HTC One X when it first came out and the only thing wrong with it was a loose volume rocker on the first one. second one was perfect but i just ended up not liking that device. so yeah, Samsung just typically has issues with it's AMOLED displays, pentile or not. also, the S3 i have is my 3rd one haha. first one had backlight bleed. second one had very loose power/volume rocker. this 3rd one has a loose power button but i gave up at that point and just said whatever. here's to hoping the S4 is perfect...
[Galaxy S 4 General] ste1164:
I imagine ever phone has issues when launched I can't think of one that has been great first time. Maybe the iPhone 4S I can't remember any glaring issues from that. But I have had problems with a lot of devices when I purchase them first off. I'd maybe wait for the S4 until others get it then see if it has issues. Not ever HTC One is a bad device either.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrvirginia:
couldn't agree more
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
The speakers are twice the size of the N2 and three times the size of the SGS3. Here's GSMArena's conclusion after comparing the two...

Winner: HTC One. The Galaxy S4 is a tad louder, but the HTC One takes this one with well-positioned stereo speakers and far nicer sound in general.​

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_htc_one-review-913p5.php

I had a Teg3 One X I got last March from the first batch built and it was perfect. But there were a ton of h/w and s/w releated QC issues and people on the forum weren't exactly happy. The One's experiencing them too and people saying "my third exchange seems to be better" isn't uncommon. HTC chooses incredibly complicated designs which look great but are a ***** to manufacture consistently. Beauty has its price. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
My first SIII had a defect, the volume buttons were so loose that when the phone vibrated, they would rattle inside the device! Not that I'm going to complain too much about it, I kept it for almost the full 60 days I had to return it at Best Buy with Silver rewards membership, and I'm on the same one since August 2012....

One thing I wanted to mention in this whole discussion is.... who drops an SIII for an iPhone 5, after having the 4 and 4S? Hell, it's enough to switch between brands of Android manufacturers to understand how things work on the different phones, but between operating systems? That would drive me crazy, aside from the fact that even trying to use a locked down OS would make me want to throw that stupid thing against a brick wall!
[Galaxy S 4 General] shox22:
Ye, you did the right thing by going back to samsung as the quality is perfect. No issues! Just that phones completly dying after about half a year. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] mancuk29:
Lol experienced that with my note 2 :p.... hence why I jumped ship however I regret doing that and cant wait for the s4

Just hope I don't experience the same with the s4 as im stuck on a 2yr contract

One bonus with Sammy is I have a proper repair centre 5 mins from me in Manchester and they sorted my Note 2 out for me
[Galaxy S 4 General] Terrorantula:
In the same boat, just called today and said I want to swap my contract to a GS4. I just hope I get a good one first time, Samsung have never let me down before. It is a shame though as I really wanted to like the One, I liked a lot about it, just the build quality was very poor and it was a dead/stuck pixel heaven on that screen.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ste1164:
I had a dodgy S3 on release, I was one of the first in the forum if I remember :P & I switch phone OS's loads. Doesnt bother me at all I could happily live with an iPhone or an android phone. I preferred the 5 to the S3 my opinion obviously but I'm using the One now and liking it :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
I've had 2 HTC phones and absolutely hated them both. Problems galore...

The GS4 is my first jump into a Samsung smartphone. All my other techy friends left HTC for Samsung and never looked back.

Crossing my fingers. I know that there are/can be issues with the first batch but I'm not letting HTC bite me in the ass for a 3rd time. This thread is proof that I can't trust them anymore, no matter how good the reviews for the HTC One are.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SilentEYE:
Sorry guys but my opinion about some of you is, that you are really bored and looking for something perfection that is not normal.

I don't mean that to serious problems like pixel errors or something similar serious problem.

I mean, that if you are satisfied with your phone and you probably find a little problem (like a volume key not being perfect or the unibody is 0,02 inch bigger on one side) you surely know that you can send your phone to guaranty departement if the tiny problem is getting "bigger".

Not just that. you post it big on forums to show how unhappy you are, but there is another star in the dark sky shining on you and you illusions.

Most people of this kind also don't have really good social contacts, like having a good girlfriend for example.

Please do not see this as an personal attack. It is just something that someone wants you to know, that you are not happy for real...
[Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00345:
Maybe your English is poor, but I agree and this is hilarious. Haha." you are not happy for real". Classic. :beer:
[Galaxy S 4 General] SilentEYE:
I meant something like: going shopping if you are unhappy with your life or searching for a hair in the soup to get involved with the restaurant, but in reality your wife just left you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Oh, I know exactly what you're saying which is why I found it hilarious.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipmanwck:
Lol. I am also returning my HTC one due to dead pixels and gaps in the gapless design. Fancied a change and got stung by an inferior company.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Perfect examples of their phones are terrific. The Teg3 One X I had was indeed perfect and had none of the issues that were commonly reported. It was one of the first batch built last March when it was released also. So based only on my singular personal experience I'd rate HTC highly. But being on the One X forum as long as I was you can't help questioning HTC's quality control standards because the number of people that had to go through multiple exchanges to get a "good one" was kind of shocking. And that people who went through so many exchanges and then in the next breath defend HTC was equally shocking. I'd rather have a really good scoop of premium ice cream than a botched soufflé. Or have to send the soufflé back to the kitchen three times before getting a "good one." ;)

I've never seen this on a Samsung device forum and wouldn't imagine too many people would find it acceptable:

These are the main issues posts on the One forum. I plucked some of the negative samples. There are an equal number of “happy” posts in the same threads with “mine’s fine” in them. It’s the ratio that’s troublesome and that people think three or more exchanges are “fine” that I find curious. Most longer issues threads on Samsung forums are s/w related with “WTF was Samsung thinking?” talking about how something works (or doesn’t). Other than display discussions (color temperature variances, black “blobs” in the dark, and comments about SAMOLED itself) rarely do you see a common h/w or QC issues thread run to more than a page or two. I guess we’ll see soon. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Undoubtedly something worrying.

Generally i take these complaints with a grain of salt. I can see 100 complaints, in a universe of thousands of sales are insignificant and don't affect my choice at all. But in this case, i have seen several times different users exchanging 3-4 times for the same issues ... and yes, this makes me worried.:confused:

First batch never comes perfect, but this way isn't too normal. Beginning to think that "Sanduich" assembly process is compressing too much the different internal components causing anomalies.

.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Those are most likely the fanboys, not all of them though.

I have owned the HTC sensation, the worst phone I ever had and the back of the phone color was degrading.

I owned the HTC One X twice ( 1 about 2 weeks after its international release and 1 On Xl 2-3 months ago) luckily I didn't have any issues with it. But I'm not a nit picker, I don't look for issues if they aren't obvious but my One xs were well build.

But I never had any issues with Samsung phones, I had the S3 a month after release, not a single issue, I got the note 2 imported from handtec UK on October 1st, flawless, the 2 S2 that I had same thing, so was my galaxy s 1 vibrant. I guess it's a big part of why Samsung is my first choice in smartphone, because they have gained my trust, HTC has lost it as I was a BIG time HTC enthusiast ( you can even say fanboy) and a big Samsung hater ( cause I was frustrated that I never got FroYo on my galaxy s1).
[Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Like I said, I had a launch SIII as well and it had the loose volume rocker issue, but it wasn't a big deal.... what IS a big deal is the fact that you can switch OS's like you change your underwear! I just don't get it, but more power to you, I'm just lazy I guess because I can't process that much change all the time.... it's as if we had a different president every year, but they were from different parties and changed all the rules every year! NO thanks....

My SGS used to need the cache clearing every few days as it gradually slowed down over time. It also had quite a few wakelocks.

I installed Greenify from the Play Store and It makes my SGS consistently buttery smooth and after a few days there's not a hint of slowdown. It has also removed almost all of my wakelocks, greatly improving my battery life.

Im not that happy with it, my swipe keyboard is still runing in background, and whatsup and viber are fully turned off if you "greenify" them (meaning you need to open the apps to see if you got new messages. There are better apps for rom control
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vertron:
Your not supposed to greenify apps like Viber & Swipe. They need to run in the background to function properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theFRANCHESCO:
I use it, and its worked better than any other program like it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] compacity:
if u prefer socializing over performances, this app wasnt good idea, but sure, greenify hibernates selected apps making no cache building in RAM.

As for me, juz reboot ur fone.thats all.

What's the best free ds emulator for our phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
since you are asking about free emu and the answers you will get are bound to be subjective depending on what each individual likes, how about you use the search button on playstore, try a few of them and let us know what you think? it is as useless a topic as asking what is the best rom for our phone...

I have tried some but they stuck on my phone..so,i opened this thread to see what other people are using...don't care about graphic's quality,i just want to play..
[LG Optimus 3D] anas/LY:
the best free nds emulator is ( nds4droid )..

it's uncompleted yet! so there's will be soo many updates!

but it's the best nds emulator for android (

THE BEST!!

)

I play Pokemon SoulSilver on my Optimus 3d with XBSA ICS V28b rom (stock kernel-clocked), and I get 35~40 FPS (no sound, sometimes: force close)

but if you overclocked your phone you'll not get force close :)

* when you have a white screen at the beginning, just wait, some games just take long to load. Same if you have a black screen after the menus, or if you think you're stuck to the nintendo logo=> most of the time just wait a little more

And you can read the user review's on Play Store to know if this app is bad or good :)

why exactly do i have to flash fastboot.img ? is it actually necessary ?

do i have to flash fastboot.img -every-single-time i want to flash a rom ?

sorry for asking, i've done some research and i simply couldn't find any kind of answer to my question.

i haven't actually done anything yet, because i know from experience that you don't want to mess with this stuff if you don't understand absolutely everything. i had a desire z before i got an HTC One S, and before i could just flash away with roms, taking my usual precautions like wiping of course.
[HTC One S] foeti:
Correctly it's named BOOT.IMG

Yes, if you're not s-off you have to flash it everytime you flash a ROM... otherwise you don't need it
[HTC One S] skinzy98:
So if I have s-off I don't need to flash boot.IMG. because I've flashed two different ROMs and I've been getting no vibrations
[HTC One S] real187:
No vibrations is most likely an hardware issue or rom setting.

Verstuurd van mijn One S met Tapatalk
[HTC One S] surrealjam:
The boot.img contains (mostly) the kernel. If you are S-OFF, the boot.img file contained within the ROM's zip will be flashed during the installation of the ROM in recovery. If you are not S-OFF and you want to go with the boot.img (kernel) contained in the ROM, you have to fastboot flash the boot.img file separately.

As a side note - you don't have to flash the boot.img if you are not S-OFF. In fact, if you have a custom kernel you may not want to (or perhaps the kernel has not changed - as with many of the CM nightlies...)
[HTC One S] skinzy98:
Yet the phone had vibrations fine right up until. I flashed my first ROM. That was dirty unicorn vibrations didn't work. Now I'm on deviant and it still doesn't qork
[HTC One S] ChristianFS1:
oh, my bad, brainfart ! yeah, i meant boot.img, but anyway... :laugh:
[HTC One S] real187:
Got a link to the ROM? You flashed?

And if you flash something like bb8 or cm10.1 or sense based does it work?

[HTC One S] skinzy98:
I flashed dirty unicorn deviant and root box none with vibrations. I'm trying to get on a sense ROM to see if it will fix vibrations. If it doesn't then it will be going back as there is a 1 year warranty
[HTC One S] customromfan:
My phone has no vibrations since a long time now. I also installed a rom - miui i think - some month ago and since this time there were no more vibrations any more ony any rom i tried. So i think, it is a hardware problem.
[HTC One S] skinzy98:
From what I've read it is a problem on a decent amount of one s phones where the vibrator module flakes out. If the sense ROM I'm gonna try doesn't work then I'm.sending it back in

Hello guys.. Hopefully someone can help me and I hope I didn't violate any rules of XDA...

Here's my problem.. I tried to reverse my HOX back to stock ROM and followede this tutorial of Hansoon2000 on how to reverse everything and go back to stock (part 3 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 ) when I clicked relock bootloader it shows in command that there was no device found, I closed it then show that my phone already relocked (awesome!!) but my phone didn't reboot normally. It went fastboot mode (white background and three android at the bottom and shows on top RELOCKED).. at this point, I cant go anywhere, I can't boot to recovery, can't turn off. It seems stucked on fastboot...

Any suggestion guys?? Please help me.. My last option would to go HTC repair center and it will cost me a lot.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Ok so you need to download a recovery. (I recommend twrp)

Flash the recovery in fastboot. (White screen your on about, select "Fastboot USB".

Run the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

Replace recoveryname with whatever the file is called.

Then, reboot into fastboot and choose recovery.

If all goes well, TWRP/CWM should open.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Since the bootloader is already relocked, a better idea would be to run a RUU. Do

fastboot getvar version-main

Sent from my IceCold One X
[HTC One X] Marc199:
He should unlock his phone again before he wants to flash the recovery.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Why do you want to do it the hard way ?

A RUU would be only one download and one double click...

Unlocking again and flashing a recovery and flashing a boot and flashing a stock ROM in recovery would be a pain in the ass and woild take longer !

Just sayin' :rolleyes:

@OP

Do

fastboot getvar version-main

Hello guys.. Thank you for all the replies.. I really appreciate those feedbacks..

1. I already have RUU file saved on my computer.. It's .exe, may I know how will I run this file? Since my HOX didn't normally boot and I can't go to recovery mode..

2. I am still trying to download TWRP, for some reason it stucked on 99.9%, I think it's not my luck right now.. :(

My question also about recovery, it shows that my HOX bootloader should be UNLOCKED.. Mine is already relocked, is this still possible?

Again, thank you for all the replies, I'm getting hopes here..
[HTC One X] Marc199:
I was just responding to the post before ^^ running the ruu is definitely the better choice
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Great! Make sure it matches your main version (fastboot getvar version-main)

Then boot to bootloader, hook usb and select fastboot so that it displays FASTBOOT USB.

The right click the RUU and run as admin.
