[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia23:
I have a leather flip thing and a screen protector film. Yes it takes the glory away from a lovely phone but you can always whip it out and show someone if necessary.

I've had my case on since I've had the phone and there's not so much as a blemish on it. Even if i dropped it the sturdy padded leather would stop the screen from breaking.

Its protected on the sides too..... it has openings for volume rocker and headphones and IR sensor, camera and Mics.

One issue with this case, (which is why I'm going to get another slimmer one for going out) is that when you take pictures the case is cut too close to the LED light for the camera and you find you'll have washed out images where the light is obstructed by the case.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVGuy:
Totally agree with RPM. I never have used any cases or screen shields, other than a pouch I generally use for beach or golf carts, etc,... but thats it. Always keep my phones in left front pocket with nothing else. I've dropped a few but never had anything but a minor scratch. My experience is that you have to be unlucky to cause serious damage to your phone with a drop, but chit happens... Protectors just ruin the look and feel of beautiful design..

Either way, hope you enjoy your new smartphone...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senectus:
I have a n7105T (the Telstra telecom 4G model)

They have done something to limit the touchwiz home screen, so that I cant add, subtract or alter the Dock icons at all

I cant add more or take any away..

I was wondering if there is a config file somewhere I can edit to change the dock Icons?

It would be better If I could add folders but just changing which icons I have there would be enough.

also I'm not rooted and prefer not to root at this stage.

Things tried:

Long press

Edit

go to app drawer and choose edit

Long press an app in app drawer (this shows the home screen but HIDES the dock!)

Hi, i have an xda, i got from ebay, I've had it a few days and its worked fine, i turned it off, and a few hours later turned it back on, and when it came to the Password screen it froze, i couldn't input anything.

So i tried doing a hard reset, but when i do, it brings up the wallaby boot thing, and then says GSM Error, so i reset the xda, and when it starts I get the O2 screen, then i get a white screen, with the keyboard icon int he bottom right, and it won;t do anything.

I'm wanting to try and re flash it by booting from the SD card, but i need the software and images to flash it.

Also, is it possible whiile rflashing to put pocket pc 2003 on?

Please Help thanks Andy.

[One (M7) General] busab:
Does anybody have any first hand experience with both these phones to make a comparison?

I'm just trying to get a idea of how much better the loud speakers are compared to my note 2.
[One (M7) General] Element515:
I think if you go to youtube, there are a fair number of videos.. I think I saw a comparison with the note 2. The One may not be too much louder, but the sound is much more clear and you don't have static.
[One (M7) General] busab:
Yeah. I had found one that used the ipad as a dbm reader. But I thought it was a pretty crappy test.

I was hoping for some better input.
[One (M7) General] Element515:
I saw that too, that was a dumb test. There's another one where they use a professional mic

[One (M7) General] johnboywilson:
Hi, I sold my Note 2 for a HTC One. I always thought the speaker on the Note was very impressive.

BUT the HTC is WOW. Much louder and the sound quality is superb. Sounds to have a little bit of base too.

This is how all phones should be built.
[One (M7) General] busab:
Thanks for the reply! Any regrets coming from the note 2? What are your thoughts on battery life?
[One (M7) General] bleary:
I had the Note II LTE and this device is so much better in every way.

Speakers, better, clearer, just wow.

Everything else, better, clearer, just wow.

You won't regret the move ;)
[One (M7) General] johnboywilson:
No I needed a change from Samsung. I do miss the large screen and all the Smart features. I've managed to find some apps that sort that issue out though ;)

So far I am happy with the battery life. It did a full day yesterday. I`m still unlocking the screen every 5 minutes though just to look at it :D

If the battery life becomes an issue I`ll install Juice Defender.

Yesterday I had 81% left by 1pm and I had it off charge at 7am.

Hope that helps.
[One (M7) General] twe90kid:
I came from the Samsung Note II as well. With the Note II rooted and on custom rom. I say the performance of sound on the Note II was louder and probably slightly better than the HTC One. I was on Perseus kernel with Noozide on the Note II. I felt the bass pumping on the Note II, whereas the One did not. Also I feel the HTC one just isn't loud with the two speakers.

I haven't found any tweaks to get the volume louder on the HTC one yet... Hopefully someone can pull off a hack to get higher db.

[One (M7) General] ste1164:
O_o did that kernel add to the speakers? When I had my note 2 the speakers were horribly tinny and quiet. Not as bad as the nexus 4's though.
[One (M7) General] robstunner:
I respectfully disagree. The Note 2 rear speaker is damn loud, and I think from a decibel standpoint its about the same, quality though, the HTC wins out. My wife has a Note 2, I have a One and an S4 and I can honestly as after all the rave reviews of the HTC's "loud speaker" I was disappointed. It sounds wonderful yes, but its not "turn it down halfway because its so loud" like some of the professional reviewers say.
[One (M7) General] jadaress1:
Im sure mine was loud when i first got it. Seems to me the new firmware reduced the volume.
[One (M7) General] Rado_vr6:
I had a Note 2 on Sprint and then On AT&T. I left my Note 2 to get the One and I'm thoroughly impressed. Honestly, even though my Note's were rooted with custom kernels, they just weren't as sharp in the sound department. They were loud, but had a very tinny sound at high volume. The front facing speakers on the One really do the commercials justice. They are far clearer, and sound better than ANY other phone I've had.
[One (M7) General] Ce:
Coming from a Note 2 and working with co-workers with a Note 2 I find this very hard to believe. I also tried this kernel and almost didn't hear any difference...before the note speaker sounded very tinny and afterwards it sounded a little less tinny. According to Samsung the speaker was not broken and within production tolerance. The lousy (quality and volume) speaker was one of the reasons to switch to a One and I didn't regret it one minute..
[One (M7) General] rocketpaul:
had the note 2 previously. The note 2 does sound loud when its turned over on its face but mine was rarely on its face, still sounded pretty loud though.

The One sounds very loud and because the speakers are on the face its loud all the time, The quality is also far far far better than the note. It wont replace a portable speaker though, understandably there isn't much bass(more than the note though).
[One (M7) General] SWave711:
I have both at the moment. I wouldn't say that one is more louder than the other. I find the One to have a richer deeper sound.
[One (M7) General] twe90kid:
I've edited the default_gain file to get loud sound on the Note 2. Also ran Noozide w/ Perseus Kernel. That made a huge difference. I cant even here the One in my pocket.
[One (M7) General] slowatsch:
You can't hear it in your pocket? Wow... you must be trolling or you need a serious inspection of your ears. I have my One ring volume on 50% and still I twitch every time my phone rings because it is so loud.
[One (M7) General] biffsmash:
Everyone I know thinks the one is bloody loud when it rings in a bag or pocket, and they own a cross section of phones, from Iphone, to Sgs3 to a Note 2. One sounds much better, but without beats for ringtones, they could sound much better.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gjw00:
Hello

I installed AOKP 4.2.2 JB ROM (build 6) on an HTC One XL (evita)

ever since then, the battery is draining big time, overnight (when not on charge), im losing around 40-50% of the battery.

I have disabled most of the synching (although this was never an issue with a stock sense (4+) + jellybean 4.1 ROM, and its not really made any difference

I have installed better battery stats, but need some assistance deciphering the output

I have left the wifi to never turn off (some googling revealed that although it may seem counter-intuitive, leaving this on may save battery)

i have attached the output from better battery stats, something is going on to drain the battery that much, i doubt id be losing so much charge due to some synching of data.

GPS is off (unless i need to use it)

Bluetooth is off (never use it)

i leave WIFI and Data on, but this was never an issue when running the sense based rom, or with my old htc desire..

would rather not go back to the sense rom, since i like the minimalist feel of a cleaner ROM..

any help or advice would be appreciated

thanks

[Transformer TF300T General] iamsobored:
It took me almost 3 days of constantly trying to unbrick my tablet, so I thought I would post a quick guide of how I ended up doing it.

I only had Fastboot access.. (No ADB, nothing else...) due to my Recovery and Bootloader being corrupted and a failed NVflash installation. Nevertheless, I then proceeded to try hundreds of different things (flashing a straight up blob would not work no matter how many times I tried).

I finally found a solution, I downloaded the oldest blob I could find (and through a lot of work finding a compiler, compiled a BlobExtractor) I then found the bootloader and flashed it using the command.

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash bootloader bootloader.bin

This got me to a state where I was able to flash a new Stock ASUS JB blob with

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob

This should restore it completely.

Hope this saves someone a ton of time and money... I will attach the bootloader.bin (as I frankly could not find ANY stock/custom bootloaders for this tablet ANYWHERE)

No Guarantees, but if your soft-bricked with conditions like above... might as well give it a try. :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] riderskull:
not work!

damn'it again the bootloader is unrecoverable (Error is "Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000)") and system not start. However thank you!!! :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] iamsobored:
Were you actually able to over-write the bootloader in the first place? This may be a stupid question, but did you extract the bootloader.bin from the Rar? Note that this is a 9.4.3.30 bootloader, so actually booting with this isn't going to be possible for some but it will setup fastboot conditions enough where you can push in stock blob.

I used a JB 10.6.1.8 blob afterwards.

You may also try flashing the stock recovery file (along side the bootloader)

I'll try to help out more if I can...

I was getting InvalidSize errors when trying to flash a blob on the AndroidRoot bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] riderskull:
I extract the bootloader.bin my current versione of bootloader is (if i don't make error) : 1.00e. Released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225" A03

How do I know if I am able to overwrite the bootloader ?
[Transformer TF300T General] iamsobored:
hmm... it did not overwrite then.... you extracted the bin then put it in your folder with fastboot...then ran the command i gave? what output did fastboot give?
[Transformer TF300T General] pyovue:
I tried flashing this, but my fastboot screen just freezes. Have to manually hold down power to reset, once reset is done I get

Also, I have no attached devices under ADB Devices, installed all the right drivers. But its okay, I have new motherboard coming in, just experimenting with this one.
[Transformer TF300T General] iamsobored:
pyovue - If you have ADB access then unbricking it should be easy as you can push and edit any file on the system with it as well as fastboot? Or can ADB & Fastboot not mount (not just the sdcard) anything? If you don't care what happens to your tablet MB, then try this....

fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase system

fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery

Then reboot (this should rid you of your bootloop to recovery and nothing should start)

Then download the stock ASUS Rom (from ASUS, look under Firmware)

Then try sending it with fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob (you will have to extract two zips from the firmware files until you get to a file called "blob" then put it in your fastboot)

I almost guarantee if you have fastboot/adb working there is ALWAYS a way to fix it... only a hardbrick is impossible to fix.
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
That won't work for people who bricked their tabs with wrong recoveries. They can't use fastboot..
[Transformer TF300T General] pyovue:
Yeah, as soon as I use

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob

The bootloader screen freezes, longest I had it up was 20mins, and battery died, will try again too see if theres any results. Using any type of adb push or pull or even checking the sdcard's directory cant be allowed cause of no adb devices attached.

I duno if im hard bricked, or soft. When I had CWM 6.0.1.3, I couldnt mount anything. So I used

fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase system

fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery

fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase userdata

fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase boot

They were all successful, through adb, and my recovery is now gone. So it boots straight to the white Asus logo screen(Not the flashy animated one), and freezes there. I can hold down while reset to get to bootloader. Flashing stock blob file now, ill post results later, gona leave it on for at least 1 hour. tehehe.
[Transformer TF300T General] pyovue:
Welp, no go. It seems to erase files okay, but not writing files. Oh well. New motherboard will be here tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T General] djsneak:
I'm having a very similar issue, except I'm able to get a "successful" fastboot return from my command prompt. I can only access the bootloader by running "adb reboot-bootloader" My bootloader menu also freezes once the write portion of fastboot starts. I've tried re-loading CWM and loading up TWRP. Everything I've tried always just boots to CWM. My SDCard fails to mount (I can mount manually) and I'm getting "Can't mount /cache/..." errors in CWM. I haven't braved the deletion of the recovery since CWM is all I can get in to.

Any suggestions? Am I out of luck?
