However, the performance is still not really convincing. Would you recommend to apply further tweaks like liquid speed or PurePerformances™X?

Hi

In the last week or so my SD card has suddenly started disappearing until I soft reset the device. If I remove and reinsert a different card this also does not appear. The only way I have found to resolve the problem is to do a soft reset. It will then be visible for a day until it disappears again.

I haven't been able to narrow it down to a specific application or action.

Has anybody else seen this (or even better know what the problem may be?)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Uziel:
I have had the same problem i found it to be "Spb ToPlay" everytime i used it if i stopped it playing i lost all sound on my XdaIIs and the SD card went missing. removed the plug-in and havent had the problem since...........................do you have this plug-in? if you dont then i have no idea sorry i couldnt help.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] d0z3y:
I have recently installed spb time but it doesn't conincide with my problems starting. I may try disabling it to see if that makes a difference.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
this has happened to me before, but i didnt have anything like you mentioned installed, so it must be a bug or something!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cruisin-thru:
I found on my M1000 that the card will not be visible when the battery gets low, most times it gives a message like "the power is too low to support the device"

Reply number 1:

"Thank you for choosing O2!

With regards to your query below, you may like to remove your storage card and monitor the device. Please note that O2 Asia has tested with different brands of 256MB SD card and works fine. However, storage card of larger size may not work properly and cause the device to hang. You may also like to test your unit with another storage card to verify. Hope the above information is useful for you. Thank you."

Reply number 2:

"With regards to your query below, you may like to perform a hard reset and

without restoring back any data back to the phone, try to change the

landscape again and see if the problem still persist.

**To perform a full reset:

Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone

to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while

data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.

Before performing the full reset, use ActiveSync to keep a backup of your

When I was playing around with the Maxx in store the other day, I wasn't sure how I felt about the size and the capacitive buttons, but everything else was real nice. Where I got held up on the software front was the messaging app. The send button instead of the paper airplane was ugly in my opinion but more importantly it doesn't seem to support extended notification (i.e. quick reply) which seems like an odd exclusion. (There's not a way to enable that is there? If so I'd live with the ugly send button lol.)

I have an mms apk from AOSP 4.2 but you obviously need root to install that in system\app. I feel like I installed a 4.1 mms onto my Razr HD even without root last year but I don't for the life of me remember how I accomplished that. I just know that I disliked Moto's heavily skinned messaging app.

Any idea on how I might install a stock AOSP mms.apk app right now given that we don't have root yet?

Thanks!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
I went back to my stock Razr HD tonight. No root, stock Android 4.1. Installed the 4.2 mms.apk I have with no issue. Just installed it like any other app and everything worked swimmingly. Why does that same apk not work on a Droid Ultra? Apparently root isn't necessary after all. Do I need a 4.3 version of the apk or what?

Sounds silly, but I don't want to upgrade to a Maxx formally if I can't figure this out. I text all the time and the 3 missing features--no emoji support, no quick reply/extended notification, and no stock icons--will drive me way too crazy.

Thanks
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
Could this perhaps have something to do with odex vs. deodexed? I don't really understand what deodexing does and I think this stock Razr HD should be odexed since that's default but I'm not sure how one deodexes it or what happens when one does. Just one possible explanation I found while searching I thought someone might have more ideas on.

Thanks!

Its funny because every android phone I've ever gotten I rooted it immediately and never dealt with stock. I just got the RAZR maxx and your right I can't quick reply in the notification bar but I'm also not sure if that's part of stock since I always root. Does anybody know if it is and if so can we install the updated app without root?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
Yeah based on playing with the Moto X today (which I think is completely root) the quick reply functionality is apparently a Cyanogen-added thing. Who knew lol. I'll take a look at Sliding Messenger.

Read in some post that tab 2 10.1 has an wolfson chip onboard. But from the pathetic sound I get from stock JB, I could hardly believe that.

Can someone confirm if its true ? If so, does any one know of any sound mods that can fully utilize the wolfson chip. I had a SGS3, where the stock sound was crap, but installed perseus kernel which unlocked the wolfson chip and now it sounds amazing. Any similar suggestions for tab 2 10.1 ?

I'm recently using the Firefox browser because of very good performance and speed.

[General Questions and Answers] RobPitt:
Hi,

The BobCat ROM put this very handy (if your 3g is flakey) network speed monitor in the status bar.

I want to try other ROMs but I will really miss this feature.

Is there an app or mod that does this I can use in other ROMs?

The closest I could find is the Network Speed app which shows it in the notification area, but I really want it visible at a glance in the status bar.

UPDATE:

I found this app which does it. It doesn't look as good as the BobCat ROM version IMHO and it is sitting at the wrong end of the status bar instead of next to the signal like BoBCaT but this is minor aesthetics and somewhat personal preference.

If anyone knows how to get the network speed to sit next to the signal with a different app or whatever please do share.

UPDATE FURTHER:

I've yet to try it but it looks like this thread will do it on the Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100.

[HTC One X] LOGMD:
Hi,

Ive done a quick search and cannot find a straight answer, i dont own HTC one x but need to modify a friends phone. as far as im aware they have a custom 4.1 rom and CWM etc.

Do i need to flash boot.img for every rom regardless of what it says on the post? some dont mention it... just want to be sure!
[HTC One X] treebill:
If the rom uses stock kernel, then no but you may lose ram disk tweaks for that rom.
[HTC One X] QUBiCA:
Basically, Yes. If you switch over to a different ROM you have to flash the new boot image. Sometimes the boot image is also updated with a new version of a ROM in that case you have to flash the new Boot Image too.
[HTC One X] totofe69:
You can install rom without flash boot.img only if you device is S-Off.

If your are S-On, you have to flash boot.img everytime you install a new rom.

I have a Desire S-Off and i can flash which rom i want without flash boot.img.

For my Sensation XE, it's the same.

For my HOX, i have to flash everytime i change my rom.
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
No. No. No.

Some or most kernels and ROM's for the OneX are NOT set up to flash the boot.img in recovery precisely because there is no method to S-Off the phone. Devs have simply stopped implementing the method. I have no idea which ones can and cannot so err on the side NONE can and you cannot go wrong.

Always flash, in fastboot, the given boot.img for every ROM is the general basic rule.
[HTC One X] treebill:
If both roms are using stock kernel and on the same base and you don't mind losing the roms ram disk tweaks you really don't need to flash.

Same if you are using a custom kernel.

So long as the kernel/base match you would just need to flash the modules.
[HTC One X] blackbuffalo:
If you use Android 4.2.2 with sense 5, you only flash boot.img one time and flash any rom except Alex-V's rom. Because still now, all sense 5 rom using stock kernek

If you flash cm, you must flash boot.img every time you flash difference rom

if your device already s-off and super-cid you flash rom normal no need flash boot.img except some rom not allow flash boot.img in update-script
[HTC One X] LOGMD:
Thanks all!

Thanks for all the replies guys, given me a better insight to the method i should take with this phone ;) when i get hold of the phone ill analyse the rom currently on there. i think its 4.1 with sense so ill do more homework and figure it out!:cyclops:

[Nexus 4 General] |mpulse:
I own a Galaxy S4 right now, it's the first non-Nexus I've owned and am a long standing Nexus fan (I have the 7 too) and recently picked up the Nexus 4 as a replacement phone for my wives damaged HTC One S and am really disappointed in the screen on the N4...

The screen looks completely washed out! I did some searches and found that the only way to get more vibrant colors is to root and adjust using another app which is a poor solution. Is this really the only thing that can be done?
[Nexus 4 General] Targaeryan:
Stock 4.3 has better calibrations than 4.2. But if you wanna change LCD calibrations, you need custom kernels (yes after rooting) like faux, ak, Franco etc and then use an app like trickster mod or faux control etc.. Also s4 is amoled so it'll have more vibrant colors..but with custom kernels you can do a lot to the screen :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] gallardo5:
Unfortunately yes, it's the only solution. But it is worth it when you own a Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Lucke:
not only that, but the S4 screen is a tad over saturated compared to the slightly more natural looking N4. take a look into some of the threads comparing the Super AMOLED vs IPS screens.

Yeah, since this is for my wife I wanted to avoid rooting... I know it f's up some apps and will be tedious to deal with for updates. I just wanted something that works nice and easy for her. Oh well.

Speaking objectively as an owner of both phones I definitely can. Same with HTC One S->Nexus 4, One S is noticeable more vibrant with darker tones and richer colors.

I guess it just is what it is for now. Thanks everyone for the quick responses!
[Nexus 4 General] rpaloalto:
You were shocked????

I do agree the stock n4 does not have the best color calibration. This is a programing issue and not a screen quality issue.

Bull****. The only thing i can think of is Whatsapp displaying a popup before initial setup saying they don't support custom roms/root. Rooting shouldn't cause ANY problems if you just root, install Faux/Franco kernel (and their app) and apply gamma settings. If you're paranoid, i think you can set root to be denied for anything else apart from those apps you need to calibrate the gamma and stuff. Oh well.

[Nexus 4 General] thesoupthief:
IMHO it all comes down to personal taste and what you're accustomed to. In terms of definition /resolution my n4 screen wipes the floor with my previous phones but the colour saturation is VERY different from an AMOLED screened device I have (an early ZTE blade). It takes a little getting used to but now when I fire that up, or use my wife's sgs2 I find the colours almost cartoon-like and quite jarring on the eye. I'm sure I would adapt back again if I needed to but I've no wish to.

Personally I don't think it's helpful to think about these differences as variations in screen quality, with one being better, the other worse. They're different. Like apples and squid. Neither is going to be an immediately satisfactory substitute for the other.

And I've never had a device I didn't root and never been unable to use an app because of it (not saying I don't believe there are some - just I've never come across one, while there are lots of things I need that I definitely couldn't use without root). Allowing root access to every app you install invites trouble just as it's leaving your keys in your front door. I'm careful not to do either and would hope that most people are the same. Root allows me to use a bunch of security apps I couldn't otherwise use and simple measures like avoiding apps from dodgy sources saves a lot of unnecessary risk.

So in your shoes I'd try and get used to the different colour palette, then root and flash a custom kernel as described above. With respect, starting a thread complaining about this as a "quality" problem (when AMOLED vs IPS has been discussed to death a million times before) would be a long way down the list of things I'd do.

For B...Amoled >>>>>>>>>> Ips

It depends on user choice..Some people like Vibrant colors & some like Natural. I wonder how would an Amoled screen look like if the same google Gmma settings are applied to it.All of its screen glory would be taken away.

@OP->No need to install any extra App..Just Flash PA stock kernel & you are good to go.

S4 is your first Non-Nexus phone & you are so afraid to root N4..Even though if it's not your phone but still it's strange that you are hesitating to go for it.Everyone who owns or want to buy a Nexus is well familiar with Rooting & stuff like that.

I loved the deep blacks on my Nexus One, and was sure I'd stay AMOLED forever...but I didn't, and I haven't exactly suffered. The N4 looks terrific to my eyes, and my wife's GS3 looks cartoonish now, by comparison. She loves it though and that's what counts.
