[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
Hi folks,

I flashed Sensedx5 ROM and I feel very happy with it.

But I miss some system audio files from Sense 4+. Ringtones, notifications and alarms have been deleted/changed in this new version of Sense.

So, I decided to extract files from a Sense 4 ROM (system/media/audio/... ) and pushed it into the right directories with ES file explorer (System write enabled).

It's OK for ringtones but not for alarms nor notifications. Files don't appear in customize menu.

Any idea to fix that?
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
I do not use Sense 5, but did you set the same permissions for them as the other files have there?
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
Yeah, already tried it. No change : files don't appear in the list (and erased after reboot)...
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
Are you using a custom kernel with system write protection disable?
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
No, I flashed Boot.img_Installer_RC2.0 - stock kernel.
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
Try to flash RC4.0, that one has system write protection disabled. It will work after that
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
Weird. Why does it work for ringtones and not for alarms and notifications?

Will give a try with NeXus kernel and see what happens. Stay tuned...
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
Double post. Deleted
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
You don't have to put them in system.

Simply put the media folders extracted from Sense 4+ with all its structure on sdcard will do. The system will pickup all the audio files when you select them in sound picker.
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
Doesn't work after flashing nexus kernel...
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
It didn't work at first try, but I did it again and reboot. Now it's working.

Thanks a lot, dude.

Hey guys.. I'm planning to buy a Xperia L but I'm hearing alot of bad things after the latest update. Are those deal breaking problems or some minor issues? Should I go for it?
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:

[Sony Xperia L] R37X:
Thank you, Sparksys for the reply. Ya, I've heard about the multitouch problem. I look foward to play some fps games in it but with that multitouch issue is it not playable at all? That would really suck. I've seen some dude on Youtube playing fps gmaes just fine. :confused:

I'm really confused at this moment.
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Yes its nice to buy xl but its getting old now so I prefer that u should get another phone which is much better at same budget

My personal view

Get another phone

Hit thanks;)
[Sony Xperia L] R37X:
Any recommendation? No Micromax, Karbonn, Xolo etc..
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Available. Released 2013, May

And this is old phone ? :eek:

Old is mine Xperia Neo V 2011 year (devs port 3.4 kernel and it got cm10.1(4.3.1),now they start to work on cm11 :D)

For OP: I got this phone from two week and i can tell you that this phone is very good.I tried many games and there is no lag at all.All the bugs are minor and I'm sure that sony will push update to fix them.
[Sony Xperia L] R37X:
I was thinking the same thing about "getting old now" :p heh

Thanks for making it clear, pal. I almost thought that no game are playable due to that multitouch problem. You sure it isn't a big deal, right? And I would be able to play games like Read Racing, MC4, Asphalt, GTA etc..
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Xperia is not really concerned for xl

U will get Mr in some weeks.
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
I played a few games,but Real Racing 3 runs smooth and without problems,for other that you mention i cant guaranty.Other game that i try was Real steel (robot boxing) and Deer hunter,there is no problem too.Mainly I play Arcane Legends(without problems of course) :)

Ye,but with this thinking,we all need to buy only flagships ? Don't want to offense, but this is the truth,all the companies will think more for the flagships against of middle range. We all want high end phone,but many of us cant buy them.

[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I would say that just buy Xperia L. You won't get a better phone in this price range.

I am betting that you won't regret buying this one. :D
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
I would suggest u to buy a much better second hand phone at same budget

That's ur answer
[Sony Xperia L] Epiee:
Xperia L is awesome for me , im running it in 4.1 version , ;) and it will upgrade soon to 4.3/4.4 ,
[Sony Xperia L] ishan_rulz:
Buy the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Nexus 5 would be a better choice.
[Sony Xperia L] ishan_rulz:
but N4 is cheaper now. He's going for XL, so obviously his budget is low.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
but the n4 is old compared to the n5...and n5 is guaranteed to get more android updates
[Sony Xperia L] Epiee:
Better buy another model ,. Xperia L maybe stuck in 4.2 no more get update , huh so sad !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I noticed that my RAZR XT910 had become very slow after some time. I am using the UK jellybean firmware. Recently I had a problem that was only resolved after reflashing the phone. After the flash i noticed how smooth the phone was again. Installed many of my apps again (Nova Launcher / Widget Locker / Beautiful & HD Widgets and a ton other). The phone is still smooth and usable at the moment. I have not yet rerooted the phone, but will get to that very soon. My fear is the phone will probably start becoming slow again over time. What should i do? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Oh, and clearing cache also never sped the phone up again.. Just wish it would stay smooth like it is now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rockykoston:
For a smooth phone

For running it smoothly you need more RAM free for tasks. So, if you open a Browser, then PlayStore and Music App your phone will tend to get slower (Sadly, Droid Razr only has 1GB unlike few other new phones). Also, putting many apps on your phone that remain open in background unnecessarily does not help (Some Apps use your phone even when you havent even opened them).

You can use the "Advanced Task Manager" or other task managers to monitor, how much RAM is being used, which tasks/Apps are using it and probably uninstall some of the garbage Apps. Also, you can kill the processes to free up RAM space, that will make your phone instantly fast, in case it tends to slow down.

I used the Cache clearing from Boot Menu, it did not help me out as well. So I finally had to put this task manager and use it to control my Apps whenever my phone slows down.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] in3t:
I noticed a little lag on the 4.2 kernel but it seems to be running smoother on the 4.3. I am using cyanogen mod 10.2 but just remember to flash the correct gapps if you go this route.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ivan11235:
Hi!

I met the same problem too. The interface was very slowly.

My solution was to increase more space on internal memory. I was almost full because I downloaded offline map files - a lot of small files in complicated folder hyerarhy (2 Gb).

Flash memory like SSD-disk needs free space for quick work.

I deleted offline files and reboot and miracle! My phone XT910 became as young dummy phone even on stock 4.0.4.

After that I started playing with custom firmware and now I am on 4.3.1 SlimBean and it is more smoothy and more free RAM without moto-soft.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sim1:
I like the model very much!! But I heard it is not the HTC model, anyone knows there are any forum for the Atom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] duke911:
I believe xda-developers.com should start working on phones made by other companies, not just HTC...

we have very nice PPCs coming into the market everyday, M600, XDA ATOM, Gigabyte g-smart Pocket PC phone, and the list is growing...

so, IMHO, I think people here should think of opening new sub-forums for these new devices, as of many folks here are changing their devices due to better performance and nicer models ( this is not true for all HTC models )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jfran:
As the name implies this site is devoted to xda's and their development , ie HTC handsets so there is no reqquirement to create a forum for non HTC devices!

Dont mean to rain on your parade.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kwyjibo:
Perhaps I am mistaken but isn't XDA a brand name of O2 meaning

(x)DA as opposed to PDA ??

Which would really mean this site is for O2 developers which clearly

isn't the case.

And yes this is explained on the front page where they say the domain

name is very misleading and this site is really for discussing HTC hardware.

And yet here we are talking about Quanta hardware and there is no thunder and lightning. why can't we all just get along!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] brykins:
What about us new HTC Charmer owners? We want somewhere too ;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] henrylim:
IMHO (no flame pls! :twisted: )

I do second the creation of more sub-forums. Like it or not, this forum has become a convergent point of like-minded Mobile PPC PDA-phone users from all over the world.

BUT (yes, there is always the buts)

it will be pretty hard on the moderators to keep a tab on all these sub-forums and make sure that things don't get too haywired around here.

SO, 4 suggestions:

(a) For all the moderators of other similar forums in their home countries to owe up, provide a description for their forum and the URL link. There might be a great ETEN M600 forum going on in a English forum in Taiwan, and we might be missing out on the discussions.

(b) For volunteers to be sub-moderators of the sub-forums in this place. More content means more hard disk space, something which will run out eventually if old stuff are not deleted. For the sake of democracy, we can put this to a vote, and see if we should start deleting stuff which has been here for 6 months or more.

(c) Perhaps one generic sub-forum (wiki?) for newbies "Request for Help", and we put in place some messaging protocol like putting in a tag @ the subject line as <RFH:<model>:<help message> e.g. "RFH:Qtek9100:Camera not working!!!! HELP!".

(d) Perhaps create one more generic sub-forum (wiki?) for evaluating software, patch releases by the helpful community here???

Just putting some thoughts here to make this a better and more useful forum for all.

oh, and Happy Holidays!!!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] C-Slab:
As of late I have been plagued by some glitches in the software on my Note. I have been using this device primarily for note taking in college. While I am mostly whole-heartidly enjoying the experience, I have some qualms I hope someone can help me sort out. My Scrapbook app is failing on a regular basis. Sometimes it simply won't open , others it freezes the whole UI while it"Unfortunately Stops."Since I use this tablet primarily for note - taking this is a really big problem, so much so that it is ruining the experience.(Many times making me question my purchase) another problem is the non-modifiable home key shortcuts, lead to ****ty useless apps like My Magazine and S-Voice. If I wanted buggy intrusive software, forced upon me with sole intent of "making things more convenient," I would have gone w/ apple, at least it would have been consistent. I'm really just waiting hear someone say there is a root out there that won't trigger the counter and void the warranty, and also maybe a rom that Keeps ALL of the functionality of the s-pen w/out the intermittent lag from Touch Whiz.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I just returned my 4GB Transcend SD Card. Why? First, it does not fit well on my Exec, unlike the San Disk SD Cards (dark blue color), the Transcend 4GB seem to get stuck a bit. So I definitely does not recommend the Transcend ones. This is based on my personal experience, may be someone can contest or confirm this for me would be nice. Second, my Exec refuses to store the pictures I have taken on the Transcend 4GB card. Third, my computer refuses to read nor reformat the Transcend 4GB SD card. Thus making it usesless even to my computer. AHHHHH! Now I have to start from scratch and install everything as soon as I get a new card.

Can anyone recommend which should I buy for my Exec? I saw a 2GB San Disk SD Card II Ultra (black color) and a 2GB San Disk SD Card (dark blue color). Which of one of these two should I choose? I know that the Ultra is a bit faster than the regular San Disk (dark blue), but is it compatible? I was also hoping that San Disk has a 4GB card, but I have not seen one, even on the net.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@cktlcmd

I am as fustrated as you. I have a 2GB card from a UK supplier call My Memory and it worked really well in my Plam but on my Exec I have all sorts of problems with MS Reader and eBooks. I know the SD card is to blame because if I store my eBooks in main memory I don't have problems with MS Reader.

Someone with more technical knowledge - I thought all SD cards were supposed to be the same? What makes them different (besides speed of read/write)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I just performed a hard reset and been using my Exec as it came from the box running Corporate version (0506) with nothing installed. I am as frustrated as you are. The transcend card 4GB was allowing me to store and run applications on it, but when I tried taking pictures and wanted to store it on the card, it refuses to do so. Luckily I tried it before even going pass the 30 day limit for returns. I would have kept it, but my computer can't read it as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
I've got a Transcend 4GB card. It works perfectly and I have not experienced the problems you have stated.

Maybe you had a faulty one ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Does it fit nicely? The one I returned seemed to be a bit tight. It takes about a second after pressing on it to be automatically ejected, unlike the San Disk ones. On my computer, I have to pull it out manually after pressing on it.

Have you taken pictures using the built-in camera? Does it allow you to store it on the card?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
Yes, it fits perfectly no trouble at all.

I have set my XDA EXEC to store pictures and videos on the SD card. It does it without problem !

I am using the 2GB Sandisk Ultra II with the MDA Pro (alias Exec). No issue, except the fact that my first one got corrupted. A faulty piece, not because of the MDA Pro. I got it replaced.

This was the same problem I had with the Transcend 4GB I returned.

Glad to hear the 2GB San Disk Ultra II works.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I just bought the BLACK San Disk Ultra 2GB SD Card and IT WORKS GREAT! The camera application now lets me store the pictures on the card, unlike the 4GB Transcend that I returned.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matt_x:
i do not think that having Ultra or what will help within the Universal: i guess it does not have such a fast reader anyways. though it will be great if someone else can also confirm this. On the contrary, you DO want to be able to copy files (whether mp3 or movie) fast to it, so ultra *will help to have one :wink:

Pocket Mechanic, with 64variable block size, random access, says (for Kingston 512MB Elite - same as ultra)

0.71mb/s read

0.36mb/s write

note that Elite/Ultra probably has 7mb/s write (normal ones have ~1.4mb/s) and ~8mb/s read when connected to your PC's readers.

A few users reported weak WiFi signal strength on N5. Good WiFi signal strength is very important for me and this is one of things I like on my current SGS, so Im wondering how good is Wlan strength on yours N5 ?

Also Androidizen posted video about WiFi problem:

[YOUTUBE]uFGVKLFIY1Q[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintume:
I received my N5 yesterday and i am facing this weak WiFi signal problem.

I compared it with my Iphone 5.

i was 8 feet away having my back to router, iphone 5 showed full strength signals while N5 showed 3/4 signal strength.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwsoldier:
Ive had my nexus 5 for a few days now, and the main thing that is annoying me is the wifi, the signal is so flaky one minute im on full bars, next minute its on 1 or 2, then back to full. this can be in line of sight with the router. Ive tried a few routers at home and at work, same issue. I have tried an iphone, nokia and samsung and they all have a much better range. I'm contemplating taking this back now and getting a refund, as i don't think its acceptable. does anyone else get this constant fluctuation?

I have also noticed when you put your hand over the top of the phone the signal can drop completely. Not taht i do this, but other phones i have do not suffer with this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwsoldier:
i take it not many people are seeing this issue, are others with the phone able to check the wifi range and fluctuations in comparison with other devices. How can it go from full bars to 2, then back to full constantly when other phones are solid. Trying to work out if its worth exchanging for another. Speeds just change from say 72mbs to like 19mbs non stop. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Side by side with my Nexus 4 I'm getting the same strength and speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
Do not use the bars when comparing signal.

Download an app that shows you the actual signal level in dbm. Bars can be set to whatever the developer wants. I could make you have full bars at -110 dbm which would be a useless connection, but still show full bars. For the most part, you should disregard them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
Would be possible to boost WiFi reception with a software tweak? Even if Google doesnt provide a fix, could be WiFi signal strength increased in custom roms? I hope some developer will know to answer this.

I have chance to get N5 32gb next week and I really want it, but since Im a lot in other countries, good WiFi signal strength is very important for me (to connect on WiFi hotspots)

Thanx
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitfire:
Is it an issue of signal strength only? Does it ever disconnect you completely? "Strength" would be much less of a concern than disconnects, now THAT would be annoying.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
I have read that some N5 owners lost WiFi connection when they were about 10 m away from router. This is unacceptable IMO. I hope software tweak can boost WiFi reception.
