[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
I basically found tw to be jerky especially when you first put the screen on, things like widgets take a bit to load app drawer sometimes also lags a bit. Also internet browsing and scrolling is def jerky.

Ive got the arctic blue version now and love the look and feel of the phone. Just ran antutu benchmark again and its weird I keep getting different benchmark scores last one was 21500 prior to that almost 26000 why? My other s4 was the same inconsistent benchmarks. Also stability test showed heat started at 30 degrees and again just kept on rising to almost 40, plus worryingly it dipped from 140 to 70 in stability a few times.

Could you do me a massive favour and run antutu on your s4 and let me know what results you get out of curiosity. Im running latest stock firmware.

Thanks

Mav
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
2425 but it varies. The benchmarks are not reliable at all. And there's the whole Samsung benchmark debacle, it gets very hot as there's no thermal limiting. 48 Celsius!!

That doesn't sound right at all with the lag and widgets. Sounds like task manager is killing everything out something is pulling resources.

Factory reset? Are you running a rom or stock? Rooted?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Many thanks for doing that ross, 48 degrees! mine is cool then at 40, im running latest stock, I have factory reset although the animation at 0.5 has made it a bit smoother, thanks for the tip.

I havent installed any task killer or anything like that and just a few apps that dont run in background.

Hence was really hoping a custom rom would help with heating and speed, weird thing is with my black one it ran more smoothly in power saving mode almost like when on full power the processor gets hot and throttles??.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
I'm a bit out of ideas. I'll have a think. Have a look at how you use it, in direct sunlight all day, in a case that traps heat etc. Weird to get two that are like that, but not unheard of.

Get a battery app or widget and screen shot every now and then as proof if you need to return it.

Sorry can't do more.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Thanks ross, np yes im going to test more ive still got few days left on 28 day return so will make my mind up then unsure how good phones 4u are on replacements though. With regards to the heat if your is 48 then they must all run hot on antutu?.

Thanks again ross

Hi,

I use the omega personally, great rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
All variants of the S4 run hot ... the gt i9500 a bit more especially with the first firmware ... updates made things considerably better ...

I don't think that u have a defective phone ... it's just the way S4 works since u also return one and they said it's fine, chance is it was actually fine according to the S4 standards ... antutu runs at max freq so it's normal to get hot ... also battery drainage can occur from many different things ... the most common one is apps sync in the background especially when this is done with 3G/LTE ...

If u are a heavy user and u don't like the heat maybe u should consider another phone ... or buy a case ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi

I dont mind it running hot as long as I know that everyones s4 is doing the same. If I know everyones is roughly reaching 40 degrees on antutu stability test then fine, but if others are say 32 degrees then thats a big difference and over time my phone would run the risk of damage.

I will post a thread asking for people to post screens and see.

Thanks fir the reply

Hi there

I think i've tried everything - it's a rooted htc one x rooted with Hasoon2000's AIOK - I've never used custom rom - i have backup of stock ROM (HTC__Y13) from immidiately after rooting - However when i try to use the OTA update it fails in cwm-recovery with a status 7 - I have tried to re-root, i have tried to remove first line of assets from the script inside the zip, both directly and after undpacking and repacking the zip - nothing seems to help! - any ideas would be appreciated :)

How would i eventually go about unrooting the phone - as mentioned earlier i've only had stock ROM on the phone

Best Regards

Arne
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
You MUST have stock recovery in order to be able to install OTA updates...

The one in your backup is not the stock one...

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376

Download the one that matches your CID and HBOOT and extract recovery.img to your computer...

Put in inside the Toolbox folder and open One.exe

Click on flash your own recovery and choose the recovery.img you just downloaded, wait for it to flash and try installing the OTA again
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] StaniolPL:
Hi there!

I have installed CyanogenMod 9.1.0d on my Motorola Milestone.

I've used links from this thread for download and this guide to do this.

The phone works extremely slow. I'm getting the "Application not responding. Do you want to wait or close it?" alert all the time. Even for application System or Trebuchet. It takes sometimes a minute to even open the applications menu. It's almost impossible to use applications such as Facebook or Endomondo as they freeze for minutes while loading and crash eventually. It's even a problem to call or to pick up an incoming call. It's so hard for the phone to find who's calling that it doesn't display a contact name and presents a phone number instead. Also the phone won't stay alive for more than 20 hours on battery even though (because of the former highlighted problems) I merely use it. I've used the HWA application to turn the acceleration off for all apps if you ask - without it it was impossible to do anything on the phone.

What should I do? Is it a problem with my phone, with this ROM or with the configuration? Or maybe it's a problem with me...

I have searched the forums for a thread with similar problems but haven't found one.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
Well, in my opinion CM9 is a proof of concept.

It shows that it's possible to run Android 4.x on Milestones, but it doesn't mean you should.

Just use CM7, it's more suitable for this old phone.

Look in the rom.zip inside the ruu. Theres a text file will all compatible CID's...
[HTC One X+] Mr.Boombastic:
Boot into bootloader and check Hboot version and radio code ..

Anyway u can try the ruu if it's not for your device sure it will give you error message

Don't forget to re-lock bootloader u can't go with UN-locked one
[HTC One X+] iman_hox+:
oh no, my v. 1.17.707.2

any idea where can i get this ruu version?
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
The radio version does not matter, as long as you don't have a newer bootloader version .....
[HTC One X+] Mr.Boombastic:
so you have 1.40

There is no RUU available for 1.40. Use adb sideload to copy a custom ROM, flash the ROM from TWRP, flash the kernel from adb and enjoy...

There are lots of threads describing the processes - go ahead and explore...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Charlie Mouse:
Does anyone know of a way to change the colour of the titlebar icons (speaker, signal strength, clock etc.)? I would like to be able to use a white titlebar background colour, but to do this I would need to change the icon colours to black (or something else dark).

I've looked around all over the place and the only help I can find is how to change the 'Start' text colour, not the icons.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I don't think it can be done. I had the same idea and spent quite a while trying to figure it out, registry and themes, but I've never seen anything that would do it.

Please drop me a line if you figure it out!

I think most people would just use WISBar to achieve the same effect.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Charlie Mouse:
I was afraid that was going to be the answer :(

I have been using WisBar with an OS X theme and it looks really good but appears to slow everything down a bit. Oh well, at least I know to stop looking.

It is a second band device and it's reset to factory settings after I reverted it to stock image.

Any ideas?

Can you post a screenshot of the "about phone" window.

The "forcing procedure" usually works after up to 20 checks and sometimes a reboot.

The only cons is that after stopping Google service framework and cleaning its data and rebooting you have to reconfigure some Google apps (Google now for instance)

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
Just got a new red HTC one, very clean install internal data wiped, clean install of viper 1.1.0. No backups were restored at all, all fresh. I have spent hours trying to get rid of this stupid error message. Unfortunately, the process com.htc.bgp has stopped I got the same error on my silver HTC one as well. Yes there is a lot of threads on this error, but didn't see many under ONE. Also I tried a bunch of the suggestions in those threads none have seemed to permanently cure it. The error only appears upon reboot of the phone.

It appears to be related to facebook for htc sense. The problem is if I remove the facebook for sense account, as soon as I open up the facebook app it reauthrizes facebook for htc sense without even asking me. I have removed it from the authorized apps many times. I also do like the live feed tied into blink feed. I don't use or like contact sync. If remove the account, readd it and clear calender, calender data & gmail it will go away sometimes for a couple of reboots but comes back. I'm kinda at a dead end for ideas.

[Java for Android App Development] 235301:
We're currently working on a handwriting app using a stylus for Android platforms. We can draw plenty fast enough to keep up with the user using a simple SurfaceView implementation. The problem is the ubiquitous Android touch lag that has been so well documented. I have not seen much of any improvement from ICS to JB. What we're currently seeing is a good 100+mS of lag when following a touch swipe on Android and actually being able to grab the coordinates from the OS. Our code basically runs the same now(as far as lag) whether it's on a quad core Galaxy Note or a dual core Marvell processor running at 800MHz. At this point I am frustrated with the state of the speed of the touch plumbing on Android. Now, I will be fair and state that I've tried some of the drawing apps on the iOS platform and at least in the drawing department, iOS isn't that much better than Android. The lag on iOS is nearly equivalent to Android. But note this is for drawing on the screen and following the touch events. All else; scrolling, swiping, iOS crushes Android as far as responsiveness. I recognize these devices are running a high level OS and we shouldn't expect real time performance but I am still frustrated to say the least. A good handwriting app needs a responsive touch system otherwise the human brain starts to disconnect their hand motion from what they see on the screen.

I've looked at the Seeder app but to be frank haven't used it since it requires a rooted device.

Can anyone chime in on the current state of the lag problem on Android? Are there are any solutions out there where we can get our apps to closely follow the touch coordinates without 100+mS of lag? I am willing to have to code my own plumbing to get the touch coordinates with less lag if that's what it takes.

Having problems myself

I thought so too,

but i've read alot about it, and not all sim cards contain the phonenumber.. One way you can see if you are storing your number, is to open the Start -> Programs -> Sim Manager... and choose Tools -> List own numbers...

if the idx there is empty .. i assume you cannot find you number.. only imei is stored on your phone... I might be mistaken .. but this is what i concluded..

I also tried the source code at : http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2004/11/28/271110.aspx
