Hi, folks!

My original HTC USB cable is starting to become yellow on the phone side of the cable. It does not heat and functions normally.

I've never used it with chargers higher than 5V/1A.

Any idea what is causing this and should I be concerned?

E: It is NOT dirt :)
[HTC One X] teejayd:
I think it's time for a new usb cable, I would not take the risk maybe harmful for your telephone
[General Accessories] ehsanmp:
After being stung for the last time by a cheap and fake HTC cable with a 200mA ampacity, I have decided to make my own Micro USB B cables.

This is long overdue, as I have been modding existing cables to be charge-only for over a year now, and I have no inclination to fork out £15 for one cable, or get another P.O.S item from eBay.

I have found UK suppliers for my premium grade Lapp 4 conductor 26AWG cable, and the easier to find USB A and Micro USB B connectors.

The only problem I am having now is housing for the connectors

. Every USB cable you see in stores has a cover/housing/hood for the connector, but I can't find any for the micro-usb end.

If anyone can help me find a supplier for it or even just a part or manufacturer that makes it, my shopping list will be complete and I can get started :D

Thanks

Ehsan

An Update

Just to give an update, I found a seller for the housing on eBay. I sent those cables into the high-stress environment of my old man's car, which he uses to drive around my younger siblings. A month later the cables had been tugged and whipped too many times and both cables were gone at the microUSB end. If someone else will do this, you should use a glue gun to protect those sensitive solder joints and thin cables. I thought I could cut out the glue gun and get away with it, and I was wrong.

Heed my warning folks!
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
If you don't wanna do anything later to those connectors, you could just cover them in hot glue.

And even hot glue could be taken out in case of emergency.

Hi

So i flashed my dad's phone with Galaxy S Bean ROM [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1937327 ] like nearly a month ago.

Hes complaining that the other person on the phone is not able to hear him properly and getting a very disorted sound.

When the phone was on stock ROM it never happened also this issue is not a network issue as other phones with the same carrier work great.

Can you please recommend me a cool ROM and Radio to flash ?

Also if you could tell me which kernel to flash that'd be awesome.

I live out of America so i'll need a modem which does not lock my phone to T Mobile again.

Thanks

Go into the settings in the Phone Dialer, and look for a noise suppression setting. If it's not checked check it. If it is checked uncheck it, and recheck it. That should help with the quality.

[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
I've been looking at knockoff android phones from a couple of different sites. Being a nerdist that I am I thought about getting one of these generic phones to use as a multimedia device. I thought about getting one of the quadcore phablets to use since some of them are pretty cheap but I don't plan on using cell service with it. I'm stuck on Verizon so this is purely a small(ish) wifi media device.

I've looked at Android-sale.com and pandawill.com and wanted to know if anybody else knew of any other good sites to order from. I've seen a lot of posts about the Goodphone i5 in the general threads and saw the Goophone i9 up on Android-sale that looked interesting.

Can anybody recommend me a good site/phablet to order from. Preferably want a site that uses paypal since I don't trust giving cc info out to one of these websites? Thanks for the help.

Hi I use Xperia Neo V and I just now rooted my phone using doomlords android emulator trick (Bootloader Locked).....

I want to install Zelly Cream custom rom on it for which i require CWM installed....

and I read somewhere that to install a custom rom, a suitable custom kernel is also to be flashed.....

the zelly cream post says that 'Suave Kernel' comes with CWM and is suitable to install zelly cream on Neo V....

So the problem is....

I have rooted my phone with locked bootloader....

Now how do I install CWM on my phone without x-parts app??

How do I install Suave Kernel on this rooted phone with locked bootloader??

If installing the above kernel that way is not possible, then, will unlocking bootloader of my Neo V the official way given by sony be safe since my phone is already rooted???

If safe then plz suggest me how to proceed to the successful installation of zelly cream....

Sorry for so many questions cuz im very new to rooting and installing a custom rom...

I also Wanna learn and get into the developer world...

Plz Help....:/

U cant flash custom kernels in locked bootloader,

Unlocking bootloader in official Sony method is safe,

Check sticky thread in neo v dev section or "desert journey" thread by Lonewanderer in neo general section for installing CWM..

Check & follow the steps in the Zelly Cream thread to flash the rom...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sharmarohit94:
For flashing custom kernels u have to unlock ur bootloader without that u cant do that...and for unlocking use test point method that is the best method...u can find that method on xda....and to install cwm use xparts its very easy...

Just flash any custom Kernel , I'd recommend Sauve :)

Thank u very much 1s again......
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
So since the latest Google Play Services update, I have been suffering some serious battery drain issues. There are various mentions all around the internet and most point to the issue being 4.2.1, which, we aren't running.

I spent some time over the last few days trying to figure out what the issue is and have some observations. But, for some background, last few days I have been getting no more than 10 hours battery with no more than an hour or two screen time.

Google Play Services is listed as the biggest battery drainer with 49%, so I started looking into that.

First off, I noticed in battery stats that if Wifi is on, the device doesn't deep sleep, even though wifi is set to never on when sleeping, the wifi never turns off and the phone never deep sleeps.

First thing to try was turning off wifi, so, I turned off wifi, straight away, phone deep sleeps again.

Next I began messing with Google related things, first of all I "uninstall updates" on GPlayS, tested with Wifi on, great, no more battery drain, phone sleeps, BUT, phone keeps bugging me with notifications to update.

Next was to update, battery drain returns. So, disable Google Now in its own settings, battery drain remains when on Wifi, however, if I kill "Google Search" after disabling Google Now, the battery drain stops.

Various mention on the internet has attributed it to location history and location services in the "Google Settings" however I have had those disabled for a few days now and they seem not to be the issue in this case.

My conclusion so far is that the link between the latest GPlayS and Google Now is the real killer.

At present, I have Google Now disabled, and no battery drain, Wifi turns itself off as it should and the phone sleeps. This isn't a great solution since I use Google Now regularly.

I'm hoping that unless someone has come up with a realistic solution that doesn't involve disabling services, Google will release an update to fix the issue.

Currently without access to another device other than my N10, I'm unable to test whether this particular version of the issue is specific to the XZ or the GoogleNow/GPlayS versions.

My next test is to install Network Info from F-Droid and Better Battery stats, and see if I can attribute the thing preventing wifi from turning off during sleep, and hence the failure for the device to deep sleep, to a particular activity going on.

Further, I have already tested the GPlayS related services by disabling everything such as Calendar and Contact Sync, disabled all of books, movies, photo sync, disabled Google Plus, none of these had any effect on the issue, which all but rule them out of the equation.

Has anyone else got observations on this, is anyone else suffering the issue, or has anyone got a real solution?

I'm off on Holiday on Saturday and would really like to have access to Google Now back, but not have the battery drain that's going to kill my battery while roaming the streets of Rome without access to a charger.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NXT3:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJFliX:

I have oderded my HTC One Silver from T-Mebile UK nearly 10 days ago but I haven't received it yet.

Today customer service told me this phone is out of stock because of software issue.

Shall I be concerned about these "SOFTWARE ISSUES"?

Did any one get their HTC Once from T-Mobile? How long did it take you to receive the phone?
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Got mine 7 days 'late' but as two of those days were bank holidays and two were weekend days I can't complain.
[One (M7) General] bob 6600:
Had mine for about 3 weeks I think, had it pre-ordered via upgrade since first week in March and got it before the Easter break
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
Weird! I ordered mine 7 days ago (Thursday) and they blatently lied and told me I would get it the next day. Upon not receiving anything I rang them and they admitted that they had no stock and I shouldn't have been told this however, I left the order in place.

Yesterday, whilst bored, I opened up an online chat on the T-Mobile site and an assistant who appeared to have little grasp of anything assured me that they had stock so I imediately rang them.

I was then told that I would have my device sent by the end of the week (tomorrow). I assumed that this was another lie as nobody else appears to have any stock and this morning I received the stock text saying that they hadn't forgotten me and that they would let me know straight away about any stock updates :(

About an hour later I received another text saying that I would receive the device tomorrow together with a ukmail.com tracking number :p

Make of that what you will. We'll see tomorrow and I'll keep you posted.
[One (M7) General] t4ure4n:
Thanks, I hope I get mine soon.

Can you please also tell me if there is any gap between the the alimunium body and the plastic bit either at top or bottom? I have seen few pictures where people had this problem with their phones?

Also what kind of T-Mobile bloatware is on the phone?
[One (M7) General] t4ure4n:
Thanks, I have received 3 of these stock update messages myself. But sadly nothing about when they will deliver my phone..
[One (M7) General] bob 6600:
I would say very tiny gap at the top between aluminium and plastic. I have double dip hard case on though so never notice it.

No bloatware I can think of, most annoying thing for me is Blinkfeed that I cannot get rid of!
[One (M7) General] godofwar424:
Install another launcher, Apex/Nova/HoloLauncher
[One (M7) General] rustynuts34:
Ignore or delete please
[One (M7) General] t4ure4n:
To get rid of Blinkfeed Ithink there are 2 options:

Install another launcher and make it is default (thanks godofwar424)

If you want to keep HTC's launcher/Sence5, Root your phone and un-install blinkfeed using tools like root-uninstaller or Titanium Backup etc

I have read some reviews on Amazon UK complaining about damage caused by the double dip hard case.

Since you are using the same case, Can you confirm if it is true for you too?
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Microscopic. Nothing to fret about. Otherwise, perfect.

T-mobile? There's t-mobile services app where you can pay bills and check your horoscope (ffs)

There is also a load of other bloat from facebook, twitter, google etc, so if you want your phone

to be secure and spyware free you will eventually have to root and make your own ROM built from

secure apps and those which require no special permissions and lock down/encrypt everything else.

The handset is a class apart from the competition though.
[One (M7) General] bob 6600:
I also read these (after purchasing!) but I can't see any damage on my phone. I remove my case every night as I put the phone into a dock (currently using car dock in the house until a suitable desktop dock is found that I like)

[One (M7) General] t4ure4n:
Good to hear that you have received your handset.

I spoke to T-Mobile customer support today and I have been told that the waiting time is 15 working days which means I can't have it till next week.:(

They guy also told me that I can go to a T-Mobile store and pickup a handset if I wanted to (and if I could find one)...

But, I will wait for T-Mobile to send my handset in post, hoping that it will be from the new stock.

It may be nothing but if I log into my T-mobile account and check on my contract details - it used to say 'You have a pending handset upgrade e.t.c'. This has changed within the last half an hour, my contract has now been extended till 25/4/2015. No delivery email sent yet but will keep you updated if anything happens.

Fingers crossed - off to look at the accessory forum to eye up a case for it.

[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
Could you please tell me what cid you have from T-Mobile please and what firmware version it is running. Mine came with cid ORANG001 and 1.28.61.7 firmware and I wondered if all T-Mobile/Orange/EE devices now come with Orange cids and also if the newer devices already have updated firmware?
