5-6 hours to charge from 5%?! Occasionally I kill my battery (it's actually good to do that once in a while) and it doesn't take that long to recharge for me O.o

Do you use a cheap charger with like 500mA output?
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
err no

its the one HTC gave me :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
HTC doesn't like you, or your battery is getting crappy like probably everyone's do after 2 years :P

I can barely even get through a day anymore without running the last 100 meters home to make sure it doesn't die.

Btw, shouldn't we like try to stay on topic? I don't recall batteries were the primary thing to discuss in this topic...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] evilc:
Hi, I use wi-fi hotspots and the like, and am sick and tired of my phone trying to connect to GPRS when wifi fails etc. I would like to be able to turn it off and on via a menu, but if not I will settle for hacking it out.

Unless I need it for some reason I don't know.

any ideas ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheLastOne:
You know, if you don't have any GPRS connections for it to connect to, it doesn't connect.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikemyersgnex:
I spend half my time in the Miami Florida, and half doing volunteer work in India. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and want to upgrade to the HTC One. I prefer to use T-Mobile, selecting the appropriate plan as needed. AT&T is an option as well, but more expensive.

I purchased the HTC One Google Edition, knowing it lacks one of the radios needed for T-Mobile to get 3G, assuming that once T-Mobile gets LTE going, I would be all set. I still have 10 days to return it, if I want.

I want the stock Android, meaning I can either keep this phone, or get a standard T-Mobile HTC One, and learn how to change the firmware. (I know nothing about changing a ROM, other than what I've learned from reading, nor do I know anyone who does that sort of thing. If I did, my question might not be necessary.....)

===========================================================================

The HTC One Google Edition is "supposed" to be better for international use. The specs from the HTC web page about this model have the following listed under "bands":

HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

===========================================================================

When I go to what is supposed to be the similar specification page for the HTC One as sold by T-Mobile, I see the following:

Network:

2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G - UMTS/ HSPA:

Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps

Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps

Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSDPA 42 Mbps

T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps

AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 21 Mbps

Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps

3G - CDMA:

800/1900 MHz for Sprint

4G - LTE:

Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 800/1800/2600 MHz

Asia: 1800/2600 MHz

T-Mobile (US)/ AT&T/ Canada/ Latin America: 700 MHz and AWS band

Sprint: 1900 MHz

===========================================================================

To me, it's difficult to compare the two, as they are written so differently. It's strange that the T-Mobile specs even list "Sprint" at the bottom.

Anyway, back to my questions.

a) Which of these two phones would be better, for use in both USA (T-Mobile) and India (Vodafone)?

b) If I go with the T-Mobile version, how might I find someone to teach me how to update the ROM to the Google Edition specs?

c) Other than the lack of the radio for T-Mobile 3G, is there anything else lacking in the HTC One Google Edition?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikemyersgnex:
Sorry for initially posting this in the wrong place.

I'm not even sure this is the right forum to be asking - I'm basically when it comes to first grade when it comes to the topics being discussed in this forum. I need to do a LOT of reading here, before I can even ask questions properly.

If anyone here knows the difference between the two phones, I'd appreciate some help. Have called HTC, T-Mobile, and Android tech support, and it's terribly scary when most of the time I find out I know more than the people I'm talking to.... until we get a supervisor on, who is more likely to understand these things.
[HTC EVO 3D] razen_kain:
I have sprint evo3d and used ramjet's thread to root, s-off (wire method), and unlock. I was running Negalite Rom and everything seemed fine. I made a nandroid backup with 4ext recovery and tried a different rom (MIUI). I installed it using all the available wipes and it got me boot loops so i tried to restore my backup with negalite and that returns nothing but boot loops. Ive tried reinstalling the rom fresh and that also gives bootloops. I finally had to restore my backup of the stock rom which DID work but now I cant get a Negalite or MIUI to boot up with out boot loops.

Here is my current setup:

HBOOT 1.58.0000

S-OFF

HTC unlocked

I can get to the bootloader and i can get into recovery but i cannot get anything boot up

Edit: this problem was solved by downloading the hboot_eng_1.04.zip and renaming it PG86IMG and placing it on my SD card, booting into the bootloader. Let it read that. Them reboot and remove the hboot back off my SD card. I could then boot any JB rom with no boot loops. Hope this helps someone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
Hboot 1.58 won't work. You need 1.5 or lower is required for Miui. This solution is everywhere and is constantly being asked. Do some research before posting
[HTC EVO 3D] razen_kain:
Then why did it work before? and why does the op of that rom say it is compatible with 1.58?

I did plenty of searching. Did you even read the entire question?

EDIT: Judging by your thanks meter there it doesnt look like youre very much help to anyone... thanks for your input.

EDIT2: I can see that you threw that "for MIUI" in there as an edit to your original post as your original post came to my email and im looking at it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] slimmx:
Hello everyone,

Just made the switch from iphone to Android after having iphones for the last 5 years. After 4 days of familiarizing myself with s4 I love it more and more.

I've disabled many programs to speed up the phone and now I have 2 problems.

1. My phone does not automatically receive emails and does not send me notifications to the bar. I checked the email settings and it says send notifications all my email addresses. I assume I disabled some app that controls notifications.

2. Text messages- when I receive a text message. In the notification bar it just says Text Message. My wife has S3 and hers shows the actual text message in the notification bar.

3 I don't receive notifications about app updates that are available. I believe when I first got the phone, it sent me a notification to the bar stating I have updates to do.

I think I disabled one or more processes that control all those features. I looked through them many times and cant figure out which one it could be.

Thank you,

Max
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
My advice, I would do a factory reset, that way you go back to stock that puts the rom back to factory settings, and start your procedure again. It would a heck of alot easier to do this as it can down right frustration trying this and that.

Those features you are talking about are enabled by default. Lets start there, if you see it didn't help, we will try something else.

good luck

Go into the message app settings, and make sure the settings are as you want them, if you want to try that first.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thealshear:
Hi everybody,

I am entering uni soon (engineering major) and I need a device to write quick notes and equations I know the note series are perfect for that.

But the question is should I wait for note 3 or buy note 2

(I can wait, but if you encourage me to buy the note 2 I will buy it)

P.s- my course starts at 15 september
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
You will not be disappointed with the Note 2. It depends on your financial situation I guess. The Note 2 can be had for quite a reasonable price at the moment, and the Note 3 will be considerably more expensive at release. It's also not likely to be readily available by the time you start your course.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
My suggestion if you can shell out money wait for note 3 initially it would b expensive thats y.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAJdroid:
Note 3 is going to have a bigger screen between 5.7 to 5.9, release date is rumoured as August end or Oct. Its going to be a octacore with 3gig ram so definetly going to be expensive. If note takin is your objective go for Note 8.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee yun khong:
Note8.0 is better choice.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Wilde:
If you primarily want the thing for writing notes, then get the Note 2 now. The Note 3 won't be any better at "writing notes". Save your money, you won't regret it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Note 2 is still a damn good valid device! It's not old or slow or anything.

Note 3 will be better, as usual, but with that comes a hefty price tag.

Note 8 is larger and is probably better suited for note taking as the Note 2 / 3 are primarily phones and then pen oriented. So while they can take notes VERY well, to use it as a note taking device? I don't know... I would rather have a dedicated device to take notes at the university. Plus 5.5 inches isn't too much space to be taking notes...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTechTalk:
Depends. If you really need a phone. Go for it. But if you can wait a few more months, wait for Note III. I just bought a Note II a couple of days ago and I'm really happy with it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artorelis:
I think it would be four month at least until he get an opportunity to put hands on Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Depends from the country he is living.....

So, I agree with you. If you need a phone just go and buy. Note 2 still a GREAT, GREAT superphone. :)

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

You will not be able to put hands on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 when your course stars at 15th of September. Moreover, it would be very pricey when they start selling Note 3 in October or November.

So, if you have money go and buy Note 2. Still a great superphone. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
I don't think the Note 2 will be outdated for a while. And for the price it is now, with all the advantages like screen size, stylus, massive battery and speedy performance, it's a no brainer. Go for it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtzong:
I'm actually in the same situation. Got an s2 but wanna upgrade to Note. But I'm in Australia and may be very late in year before it comes out. So I think the Note 2 is more value for money at this stage.

Does anyone know if it's worth getting the Note 2 NT 7105 LTE model rather than 7100? Thanks too
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantom3D:
Just went for the note 2 myself, it is proven to be reliable and great!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
I considered the same question, and decided against the LTE version. For one, I'm not out and about downloading heavily. The non-LTE Note 2 I have has Speedtested at around 14mbps at times, which is plenty for me. And being a tinkerer, the 3G version has FAR more ROMS and kernels available than the LTE version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtzong:
Yeah thanks for that advice. I'm a little of a tinkerer too and am erring towards the non LTE version. Any good and stable rom suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
Try em all and decide, 'good' differs from person to person :) Nandroid is great for that.

Probably the biggest decision is going with a Touchwiz/Samsung based ROM, or an AOSP based ROM. There are pros and cons of each type (specifically stylus and multi-window functions related to framework changes). A quick search on this subforum will net you all the information you need.

I tried a bunch of TW ones, and a bunch of AOSP ones, and settled on Slimbean. Simple and functional, with very minimal memory/space overhead, a bit how I've setup my PC (using XFCE). Good luck with it all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtzong:
Yeah thanks. My main reason of upgrading from the galaxy s2 is for the stylus and note taking etc. So I'll have a look around :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Think you made a good call there mate. The Note 3 will be expensive until some point midway through next year and the N7100 is still one of the best devices out there.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitmiz:
Hi. can you please tell me what is the advantage of updating to 4.2.2 through OTA rather than just by ROM.

I had 4.1.2 before and I flashed custom 4.2.2 rom, but my base is till not updated (for example HBOOT IS 1.44 INSTEAD OF 1.54)

so what would have changed if I would have waited for the OTA? (better camera or speed?)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cee43ja1:
Honestly, there are no advantages through OTA. HBOOT updates are dangerous because they can potentially lock out getting s-off. It's better to stay on the older HBOOT. If you don't care about rooting, then by all means do the OTA.

I've already gotten all the improvements from the 2.24 base just from flashing a stock rooted deodexed rom. Didn't touch the firmware or HBOOT.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
I don't think it's fair to say there are no benefits to using OTAs instead of ROMs. For example, for the time being at least I am very satisfied with sense 5 and how the phone handles and so I haven't flashed a new ROM yet. I also doubt that I will for a while. If you are such a person as I, then OTAs are a much better option because they should (theoretically) be more stable given the extensive testing they go through (which of course is also tier biggest downside because they can take so bloody long to reach your phone...). I notice that when devs first started pushing out 4.2.2 ROMs for the One there were a lot of bugs reported, which is fine because it's super awesome that people can have a choice to update early if they want, but a nuisance none the less. I see far fewer concerns with official OTAs because of their testing, especially north American OTAs because the carriers are so nitpicky about them.

Oh and once they stop supporting your phone and pushing OTAs to you, it becomes a moot argument since all you have is ROMs at that point ;)
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
Hi - I'm a newbie toi the XDA2s & am quite impressed so far but...

Out the box with no card in the slot, it shows a storage card of 43Mb :!: , I assume this is a "virtual" card.

I have bought a 128Mb SD card (Kodak brand) and I can not get my XDA to recognise it at all :evil: - it stubbornly insists I have a 43Mb storage card, but when I hit "settings->about" the display correctly shows that the expansion slot is either "in use" or "Not in use" :?: :!: its just not able to use the memory on the card

I have tried the card in a card-reader attached to a PC and it looks fine, so what is going on?

My OS is Win Mobile 2003 2nd edition version 4.21.1088 (build 14132) and ROM version in 1.31.00WWE date 12/13/04
[General Questions and Answers] xanth:
Hi,

Try (re)formatting in your PC and see if that helps. For 128Mb you probably want FAT16 filesystem with 2Kb clusters. Technically 128Mb is supposed to be 4Kb clusters, but since these things are always slightly smaller than they're supposed to be I'd try 2Kb and see how you go.

You can do this from MS-DOS with:

C:\> format X: /FS:FAT /A:2048

At least that should work :-) (Change X: for the drive letter of the card!)

Hope that helps!
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
Thanks for the suggestion,

I tried it, but still no luck. :cry:
[General Questions and Answers] xanth:
You could also try the "Storage Tools" located at:

http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html

You can download for free and although I don't know the limitations are of that version, I know you can format with it, as that's what I did (and all I did).

So hopefully you could format your SD card from their program for the Pocket PC. Just make sure you install the application into main memory since it can't format it if something's using it (although since you can't use the SD card I don't really suppose that'd be a problem!)
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
I had downloaded pocket mechanic which has a format utility, but this did not help

My issue is Where is this 43Mb card coming from? It is visible and useable whether or not I load my 128Mb SD card. Is there some way of disabling the SDIO port? This may be the problem

Chris
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
quick update:

I've figured out that the 43Mb Storage device must be onboard flash or similar and I have successfully used a 128Mb MMC card 1st time no problem, so the problem is either my SD Card, or my SDIO slot

I have heard that some SD cards are not recognised by PDAs, but the card I am using is happy in my PC. I hope its not the slot

I'm going to try a different SD card (when I can find one to borrow) and I'll post the results.[/u]
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
OK, so I tried another SD card and it still wasn't recognised; ergo, I have a problem with either the SD Slot, or esle a software config problem

Does anybody have any ideas where I might look to see if I have a software issue?

Thanks

Chris
[General Questions and Answers] jdee246:
I think you're looking at the storage folder - not the storage card. The folder is 43mb. If you're looking in system > memory, then change the drop down box from 'storage' to 'storage card'. You should then be able to view the card memory.

Have you tried saving anything in it via file explorer?

JD
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
Hi JD, thanks for the reply;

I'd figured that bit out once I'd tried using an MMC card. I've renamed the mount point for MMC & SD cards and I can definitely say that MMC cards are fine, but SD cards are simply not recognized at all :oops:

I'm wondering whether I have a hardware problem i.e. broken SD slot, or whether there's something that I can look at with Windows i.e. a software config issue
[General Questions and Answers] jljones:
Odd. SD and MMC are interchangeable, although I think MMC cards are slightly thicker.

Possily it makes contact with the card slot contacts when SD cards won't. Which would mean the slot is faulty.
[General Questions and Answers] weasel:
Oh drat :cry: I suspected as much, but I thought I'd ask

I'm tempted just to ignore the problem and use MMC cards beacuse I don't want to return my new shiny toy :)

Thanks

Chris
[General Questions and Answers] jljones:
If it's faulty, I uppose it's possible it will stop reading MMC as well at some stage, If it's stil under guarantee, I'd take it back.
[General Questions and Answers] benyeap:
SD cards are thicker than MMC, not vice versa.
[General Questions and Answers] jljones:
Oh. That makes it harder to see why a faulty slot shouldn't be able to read an SD card.

I can't see any other answer though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris56000:
Hi!

Can anyone help me with the Samsung N7000 branded as I9220 my friend's wife brought back from Pakistan please?

No matter how I try with all attempts at the buttons, I cannot seem to force the phone into a download mode - I there is NO boot screen showing - it shows a custom-made splash screen that comes up straightaway! It IS possible with a sequence of assorted press buttons to get to display the original Samsung Galaxy splash startup screen but after that the phone comes on to main menu etc., and there is NO "applications" icon to try and force it into USB debugging mode!

I tried using the 300k purpose-made download jig I got from two different ebay suppliers, but it refuses to recognise it!

There is NO "about phone" in the menu, all I can get from the "settings" menu is "information" and "software version" that gives me the following two identification strings:-

DX.X22__MSW8536N__.0403W2P5.WVGA.K

TT.C2.1G256.. V03.092409241207

I also get a "sandy desert" wallpaper that comes on straight away and seem impossible to remove it from what's available on the settings menu, and the phone is choc-a-bloc with totally unknown Asian/Chinese contacts that are impossible to delete from the operations available!

1) Are the Chinese capable of flashing these phones with a bootloader that totally disables downloading, and if they are, is there a higher-level tool that will talk to the device at hardware level and overcome a bootloader block?

2) Can any experienced members identify the Android version/kernel from the software detail I've posted?

3) Have I no option but to buy another phone spares or repair etc., (e.g., a smashed one!) and transplant the mainboard, or has anyone overcome the "downloading" block using the advanced tools on this forum and can explain the procedure please?

I do have a copy of the Service Manual obtained off this forum, are the Chinese etc., so good at faking these things that a comparison between the physical layout of the main-board and the drawings in the SM wouldn't show up a counterfeit one?
