my device is LWW running PACman 4.3:laugh::D and m using transcend 32GB micro sd class 4....but i am unable to play high end graphic games wich take a lot of RAM like asphalt 8 etc...they lag lyk hell and then exit and come back to homescreen:crying:

so i created a SWAP partition of 500MB using minitool partition wizard..

now i hav two doubts:

( M SORRY BUT BELIEVE ME I HAV DONE MAX SEARCHING OF THIS TOPIC ON GOOGLE AS WELL AS ON XDA...ALL I GOT WAS...CONFUSED :confused: )

1. wich one is better.. creating dedicated SWAP partition (lyk i hav done) or using apps lyk swapper wich create a swap file somewhere on the SD card or are they both the same??wich one do you recommend??:confused:... do both the above methods damage sdcard?? Also is the damage to the sdcard in the long run more in one of the cases or both are equally same??

2. is just a clarification sounds a bit n00bish:silly::p too...after creating a swap partition on sdcard (as i hav done), is using third party apps lyk swapper the only way for the device to detect the created swap partition or is there any other way???if so pls tell me..:confused:

once again m sorry for creating a new thread...but i did a lotta search and i only got confused...also if i hav missed out any guide on using swap partition..pls link me to it...

thank u
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
dont worry bro your right here :good: its the help thread :D 1st i dont have uch xperience with swap as i never used it bcuz i dindt see a big ''diffrence''

but some things to swap: class 4 is bit low for swap recommended is class 6 or better 8. AFAIK swap partition can more likely damage our sd (this CAN happen, when sth went wrong, but usally it DONT DOES (damage on sd) !!) apps for swap are sver but make sure u have enabled save remount feature. also important if u set PARTION swap u must set it too in an app like swapper2 to use it.. (choose there swap on partition) also swap is a tricky thing more means not better, lokk if u have big swap and swappiness (how much to swap ) this means work for the cpu - more work for cpu means lag. same for size more isnt allways better. u must find the middle for a happy cpu and bit more ram, but there isnt ''THE SOLUTION'' i faced it works diffrent from ICS-JB-STOCK etc., even depends on roms and which tweaks it uses.. (i mean if it uses zram its now double the work for cpu o.O) also important is a fast r/w speed for sd if its to low it stucks on , means lag for u. (thats why a class 6+ card are recommended)

for game:

i mean the best u can do is to use a clean rom without much junk, also installing 2 or more tweakpacks NOT MEANS system runs better. so take it light ;) other tipps to game:

- set background processe to 4 or 2 or evon 0.

- fligtmode on

- kill all apps bfore start play

- dont overclock as much ucan ( it donsent mean it will run smoother, if cpu is overworked it will simly lag.)

- use gpu rendering.

DONT use taskillers!! (these are only work for system and battery eaters)

- set good and fast govenor, and i/o scheduler when u can, search for a good kernel for game as it will offer u best peformace increase.

hope it helped u a bit ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skull47:
thnx for replyin man:)...you cleared my mind a bit...:):good:

i know class 4 is a bit slow...but now after enabling swap i am able to run asphalt 8 with very little (negligible) lag...

but i dont understand by what u mean "enable save remount feature":confused:??

also what u mean by this

i wil try ur gaming tips...

but i dont know much about governors and i/o schedulers...i'll read and find out..but do they actually make a difference??:confused:

and can u link me to any performance tweak threads??i too wil try nd search..:fingers-crossed:

also by ur statement u mean that enabling Zram is of no use??:silly::confused:

yup i agree with u..i too hate task killers...

nd i dont want to risk damaging my phone so i dont overclock
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
no prob bro :good: yes u must find a middle of use swap but not to much as it will slow down cpu (and whole device:))

"enable save remount feature" -> use swapper2 app (free) then go first into settings and set if U USE a spap file (on sd) OR if u USE partition on sd (have to be set to in advaced options.) i mean with this if u see there options they are (called) like this ENABLE IT. ist much safer., alos dont set the swappiness to high ;)

go to settings, performance. there u will have some govenors to choose. govenors are like people thery lazy one may good for battery or there stressy one which give u more performance on battery cost and so on read more about them here :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017715 there really important for gaming as they decide how ur system & cpu.. behavs if its called by an app for power like ur game ;) (make a BIG diffrence) i/o schedulers are sth other but think there only avaiable from JB...

also tell me which rom u have!!!! (stock or not etc.)

to zram: zram are compressed stuff to have bit more ram, but it means also more work (ALL TIME) for ur cpu as he have to copres and decopress files bfore placing/ calling from RAM, and when u use SWAP, zram is useless. as its only for low memory devices which sometimes need more ram i especially didnt use it as my ra is okay and it will only eat cpu & battery, i would say in your case u get performance LOSS as of using bith a same time , as said bfore SWAP means mor cpu work too, then imagne cpu must also handle the zram, + game and system, it CANT BE GOOD! and btw a good (best for game) kernel will gie you more boost than all the mentioned things here bcuz hes the most responsible for calling the hw. (if game needs juice :D)

overclock is okay but i would not more oc than to 1.1 Ghz or 1.2 this is okay :) btw i use also 1ghz for normal use :)

with tweks i mean do some build prop tweaks (i would advice do only some not allways all, bcuz more means not everytime better ;) as u know)

than dont use ''lock home in memeory'' and delete ram scripts from init.d folder in system/etc

set a good sd write read speed using some market app. like 1024 or 2048.

a good thread for some tweaks is '' project fluid'' by spex :good: its simple and well working on mostly all roms :) aslo it contains a tweaked adreno config..

just try some bit around, and tell me which rom :)

peace
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skull47:
i already told in 1st post:p...am using PACman 4.3:D (build 825)...

BTW unfortunately for JB 4.3 there is no gaming kernel:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
Okay sry bro was in a hurry so excuse bad englisch bfore, let stake it short :p

Use only swap no zram, allow the system to give RAM, use sio as io sheduler, as govenor for perfirmace use interactive, smartassh3, or performance this will kepp cpu at highest value.

If u want attach ur build.prop and i take a look for u. :)

Checks init.ds. And suoercharger makes gaming not good...

Did u use greenify,bro?

Also sry for not recognizibg that u mentiond rom,sry..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I doubt swap will help ...

Mostly it will crash again even with swap ....

Post the logcat when you play the game and it crashes... We will see what happened ...

Hello,

I am currently running android 4.1.1 with software number; 3.14.401.31.

When I check for updates it shows the software update: 3.20.401.1 (35.66 MB).

When I press install now my phone reboots itself and starts in recovery mode.

When it's loaded it shows the following error:

E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.20.401.1-3.14.401.31_R_release_314818virsindn3qwws1r3.zip]

Installation aborted.

Ofc I can download the OTA zipfile from the internet, but then I have the following problem; when I connect my phone to usb:

My own pc cannot find my phone. When I try to connect my phone to an other pc, it also cannot find my phone.

Hope someone can help me out.

Not unimportant: I have rooted my phone and I have unlocked the bootloader.

Maybe I have to relock the bootloader at first?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
if you have SU binaries etc in system then install from market or so voodoo keeper then save root and uninstall root binaries then go to fastboot flash stock recovery for your base number like 3.14.401.31...you can get it if you search then relock bootloader and download and install the ota
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
Are you on stock recovery ?

To receive and successfully install OTA updates you need:

Unlocked or Locked bootloader - doesn't matter

Rooted or Not Rooted - doesn't matter

STOCK ROM

STOCK KERNEL

STOCK RECOVERY

If you have there 3 things than you should be able to install OTAs with no problems
[HTC One X] krGemini:
get stock recovery for your particular CID from "Nandroid Backup Collection" thread and flash it in fastboot command prompt. i've gone through this exercise recently.
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
or you can get your stock recovery from here as well....

just find your cid, download and extract recovery.img

I got mine working satisfactorily. Three things are required:

1. Activate AGPS.

2. Enable Auto EPO downloads.

3. Select a local NTP server (default is Chinese)

There are a number of apps and tools to achieve steps 1 and 2 (Eg MobileUncle)

However step 3 I think requires root access (edit gps.conf file in Root Explorer), or some means of flashing a new gps.conf file to system\etc

Anyway, hope this helps.

Do you have the steps to do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ossie_:
From memory:

Download eRoot and install (unzip) on your computer.

Connect the phone to computer with USB debugging enabled.

Run the eroot program. Click the "root" button. Ignore the Chinese stuff.

Wait for a few minutes - you get a message when it's done, again in Chinese, but it's pretty obvious.

Disconnect. Reboot. Done.

The instructions are on http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/tutorial-root-thl-w8s.41804/

Strange how someone copied and pasted my entire post above to the thlmobilestore website:

This certainly improves GPS performance, but it does not stay fixed reliably to use for car navigation etc. Possibly the antenna is too weak.

While there are many advice on how to tweak software side of GPS in THL W8, W8+, W8S, W8 Beyond, none of them won't help with GPS signal reception. Only HW mod can help with that, and finally, thank to befano71, there's one very simple that works... :)

Hi guys,

Here is my first bootanimation for HTC ONE SV, I just started to use GIMP ;)

Please note:

I tested it and it worked.

Your device must be rooted to use it.

Use at your own risk and only if you know what you're doing!

here's what it looks like:

Download it from attachment and replace the original one (but please make a backup before) with a root explorer in the folder /system/customize/resource/.

Set the permission to rw-r--r--

Or use this tool Boot Animation Factory for Win PC to achieve your !!

[One (M7) Accessories] rfgamaral:
Hi,

I'm looking for a very protective case for when I go hiking or stuff like that. I want to make sure that if I happen to drop the phone or have it my pocket and lean against a rock and forget I had it my pocket, no harm will be the done to the phone. Basically a case for an outdoors/nature type of environment.

I don't care about aesthetics because this will not be my normal day case...

I was thinking of the Candy Shell one: http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/candyshell-grip-for-htc-one.html

Does anyone have it? Is it good for the kind of needs I described? Or do you have a better suggestion?
[One (M7) Accessories] Hero 4g:
I'd recommend an Otterbox Defender Series case, somewhat expensive but they protect the phone well.
[One (M7) Accessories] rfgamaral:
Seems to be the perfect case for my needs, but kinda of expensive...

Any other similar cases but cheaper that anyone knows about?
[One (M7) Accessories] koenve:
On ebay you can find it way cheaper.

Can't post a link because I don't have enough posts, but you can search for it and the cheapest I found was € 15, so approx. $ 20.
[One (M7) Accessories] rfgamaral:
That's a nice price...

I found it cheaper on Amazon, still not as cheap as the one you mentioned. I'll have to take a look...
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
IMHO, after testing various cases for HTC one, the best one regarding overall protection is the double dip original case, being the only one actually protecting the speakers grills.

That case a little trimmed to fit the phone with the MIME glass on it is by far the most complete protection (and is looking good also).
[One (M7) Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
Maybe for everyday use. But while your hiking I highly doubt it will do much protecting against possibly sharp rocks and falling more than your average pocket/ear height.
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
Then ... http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-one-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case

The major problem is that the speaker grills are completely exposed (like all cases unfortunately).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wolfbuck22:
I'm running

OMJ's ROM

and using WiFi Tether TrevE Mod "Version 3.2-beta-modv5-***Synergized***"

Okay so even with the settings that everyone recommends for the HTCone, and a few modifications, I still cannot get the blasted thing to work.

Settings I've tried:

Profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)

Setup-Method: Auto

Encryption ON (p/w is the correct format AFAIK, about 12 lowercase letters no numbers, similar to the default)

Changed SSID to "HTCone" no spaces

Wifi Driver Reload (1) checked

MSS Clamping checked

Routing Fix checked

With those settings, I can't even get it to broadcast. It says it's running but no devices can find it. It simply isn't there.

If I disable Wifi Driver Reload (1) it begins broadcasting. However, when I attempt to connect, the second device just sits there at "Obtaining IP Address..." for about 90 seconds then retries and gets stuck at "Authenticating" then back. An endless loop never resulting in a connection.

The most frustrating thing about this is that it was JUST working the day before. I didn't touch ANYTHING and it just decided to take a dump. :(

Addendum: I was looking at the notes in the bottom of the ABOUT screen and I noticed the updates are quite old. Is it possible I have an old version that doesn't work with the HTC One? I got it from QBKING77's website.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Happened to me and don't have an answer. I wiped and didn't restore anything to resolve it. Restoring data broke it again.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] klbjr:
I followed this guide that worked for my Note II and I have no problems. I'm typing this message from my laptop tethered to my ONE. I have WiFi-driver reload 2 checked.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wolfbuck22:
I had no luck wiping the phone and re-installing the ROM. It was still FUBAR after the fresh flash of OMJ. What drives me NUTS about that is the fact that it was JUST working not 12hrs before it stopped working.

To give some more information as to the issue, it appears that checking either one (or both) of the Force Driver options causes it to not broadcast at all. If either of those two are checked, the hotspot isn't even visible to any device. If left unchecked, the hotspot becomes visible. However, upon trying to connect to the hotspot, it gets stuck in a loop of "Authenticating..." then "Obtaining IP address" which never results in a connection.

I've tried the options listed in that guide you posted, but to no avail.

So, at this point, I'm wondering if it's just because I'm using an outdated WiFi hotspot app. If anyone has one that's been updated since a little under a year ago, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] klbjr:
Not sure which one you are using but I'm using the one right from the Play Store v3.3 beta 2. You can also get it from here. I just went back to SWG 1.18 from a 4.2.2 ROM and reinstalled and all is good. Everything connects just fine using those settings from the link I posted earlier.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wolfbuck22:
In the first post I listed which version I was using. Unfortunately, even the newest version fails to work. I don't get this. Maybe it has something to do with the OMJ ROM and how close to stock it is. Perhaps I should try a different ROM.

This is a far cry from the CM7 ROM I had on my EVO which allowed me to tether perfectly all the time without the hassle. Maybe I'll try CM again on my One.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] klbjr:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dashripkin:
Similar issue here

I'm having issues with wifi tether on my HTC One, as well. I can tell you that if you set the Device-Profile to "Auto," it will create an ad-hoc connection that my Windows 7/Ubuntu Studio desktop will recognize. Ubuntu recognizes it as a regular wifi hotspot, and connects automatically. Windows recognizes it as an ad-hoc connection, and I have to connect manually. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 does not see the connection at all, and neither does my LG Blu-Ray player. If I change the profile to Generic ICS/JB (wlan 1), then other devices see the connection, and will even attempt to connect to it, but there is never a successful connection with internet access. If I choose Generic ICS/JB (wlan 0), then nothing sees it as a viable connection. I am running the stock sense ROM, and have done no updates (so I'm still at JB 4.1). I can tell you that wifi tether errors frequently for me, and I have to reboot quite a lot. If I leave my phone broadcasting overnight, then in the morning wifi tether thinks that I don't have root, and gives me the "your phone is in an unknown state" error message; at that point, the only way to stop the wifi is to reboot.

So, I can make it work, for a limited number of devices. I would like to use it as a wifi connection for my tablet and my Blu-Ray player, however. I have searched quite a bit to try to figure this out, and I haven't been able to find a reliable answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
