Hi,

I have had an HTC One X+ Tegra 64gb over 3 months which has just been used with wifi for internet. Now when I get round to putting a contract sim card in it shows no signal. The IMEI number will not display, it is "unknown"

I have just paid for an IMEI report which shows it`s identity and history is legit and the numbers tie-up with packaging and sim card tray and phone serial number. The report also says the phone has not been modified/rooted. The bootloader is locked and "S" is on. Is this a dead duck or are there measures I can take to restore an IMEI. by rooting/clearing cache etc?

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
The camera seems to take pictures well for the most part, but if I try to capture the detail in an object I can't even come close to getting a decent picture. I've tried tapping over and over, using the manual focus on L camera, all with fuzzy, out of focus results.

Just to get an idea of how bad this is, I captured the lighter in pretty good detail with my Nexus 4...

Is my phone defective or is the focusing on the camera just bad?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you have to use touch to focus to get detailed photographs. do you use touch to focus? oh, and macros, with the n6 cam you have to hold it back another 1.5-2 inches back, further back than on tbe n4 and n5, or the object will never get focused on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
I'm trying to use the touch to focus but it just doesn't seem to work. I've also tried different distances too. :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
are you on stock? 5.0 or 5.0.1?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
Stock 5.0.1, rooted w/ AppOps, no encryption
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i was going to say, 5.0.1 improved things a bit. focuses fine here now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
Do you think my phone might have a hardware issue with the camera?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
to be honest, to me it just seems like you were a little too close for the photos. i know another camera phone can get closer and all, but..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
So you think that, although the Nexus 4 is definitely worse, it might just be better at focusing at closer distances?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
update

I tried taking it a little farther away, and I'd say the amount of detail makes up for the added distance. Thanks for the advice.

:good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i own the n4, n5, and n6. the n4 takes wonderful macro shots. the n5, just as good, maybe slightly better. for the n6, you really do have to pull the camera back a bit more, thats the very first thing i noticed with this cam. but after the shot, you can crop closer(because of 13mp), and the end product can look the same. i know, i take a massive amount of macro and regular shots.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoude.:
Great to hear, any tips you have for using this camera in general? I have L camera and that definitely makes this camera more flexible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
since im on an aosp rom, it includes the aosp camera as well. its like the google camera, but its missing many features. it does shoots a little quicker though. it has a flash, and thats all i need. a better camera is pretty good on the n6 as well, since they are starting to use the new code.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just shot a macro in a supermarket, its cropped to be 2000 pixels across..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazjal7:
I'm having the same problem, I'm used to getting very close to the objects and the camera focus without any issues. The N6 can't focus I was worried my N6 had a problem with the camera or if it was software related.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontAlbert:
my camera doesn't focus at all, no matter how far away I am. I've tried everything. Manual settings it off, i touch the area on the screen i want to focus to and it sort of tries to focus but when it settles the inside circle doesn't go green and it is still out of focus. This could be a deal breaker for me if it doesn't improve
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the n6 camera can not get as close to objects as other camera phones. quit trying to get very close. you need to pull it back about 7-8 inches, at least.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
that blows. even if you have to wait, its still worth it. you wont have to send yours back until the replacement comes. but ive seen quite a few with camera issues, so id try to get it changed as fast as possible(since im a heavy camera user).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capcanuck:
This seems like the right place to ask.. My focus is fine for pictures, and during video in portrait mode. But when in landscape, I can't get the video to focus. Anyone else have this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontAlbert:
that's strange- my camera will focus in landscape but not portrait. same for the video. this is making me think it's a software issue... there aren't any N6 in Australia atm to replace mine anyway... wonder if a custom rom will help
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, ive read of a very few others with the same issue. if it wont go back to focusing after a factory reset, i recommend that you get your nexus echanged.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

you can always try. if you want to get it back to stock, just flash the factory img. if its still not focusing after a factory img, then its 100% hardware.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazjal7:
Thanks for this feedback simms21. I have pulled away from the subject and the camera focus OK.

I'm about unlock the bootloader and root, but I just want to be certain that my settings are all backed up. I don't mind losing pictures (dont have that many), but I would rather not have to go and set my whole phone back up the way I like it if I can help it. I have it checked under Backup and Restore, but does that just happen automatically?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
only way to check would be to wipe data(factory reset), then restore your account. you will see if it did or not. but yea, that setting works for me.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
There's usually a very basic reason for 4G not showing up as a selection.

A. The SIM is old. Get a new one. This is by far the most common cause.

B. 4G is relatively new for your provider, and it hasn't been enabled in the firmware for your specific provider yet. Flash another CSC or wait for the next update. (funnily enough it is often enabled in another country. DBT Germany had T-Mobile Netherlands enabled for 4G before the 4G network itself was active. Freaked people the hell out at T-Mobile NL HQ when I had 4G and they didn't.)

C. You're using the wrong CSC. In the EU a lot of independent shops sell imported devices. We get a lot of XEF users that can't run 4G in the Netherlands. Simple flashing is sufficient, as with B.

I know you got it working by rooting. Just putting this out there as a basic steps for those who don't want to root. (bit of a shame if you do trip KNOX and it turns out to just be an old simcard.)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
Hey All:

I'm on the T800, unrooted stock (I had promised my work sysadmin that I wouldn't root). I'm also using ShareKM through USB on my work PC to use my mouse and keyboard on the tablet (makes a great timeclock). Of course, this means living with the limitations of ShareKM and I expect its impending death.

I'd love to use SideSync for this feature, but Sidesync doesn't share mouse or keyboard to tablets (just to phones). Has anyone had luck persuading SideSync on the GTS to act as a phone rather than a tablet? I was thinking either through modifying build.prop to look like a GS5, using SecureSettings and Tasker, or even the Per App Settings through Xposed. All of these would require me to root, so I'd rather know that a solution works before actually rooting. Then... well I'll just not show the local tech the bootscreen and we'll be all good ;).

Any ideas? Has anyone tested any of these ways?

--Databoy2k
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
Really just bumping this up. Is anyone with a rooted Tab S willing to try any of these ideas if we don't have someone who already knows?

It doesn't look like Per App settings can do this. I'm still hesitant to root my tablet, but with the new Lollipop update ShareKM has officially died. I'd really appreciate if anyone else has any experience or would be willing to guinea pig on this.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tikker G:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
No, nobody did. But I do now have a rooted tablet using the Knox 0x0 root (...sshhhhh) so I might try a couple of the ideas that came up. If you're interested, I can post the results here.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
So after some headache, I can confirm that I have a working App Settings Xposed Module on my Tab S... but changing the Screen (dp) setting as sometimes work doesn't actually convince SideSync that it's on a phone rather than a tablet. I'm even running an apk that I TiBu'ed over from my Galaxy S5, so I can confirm that the sidesync apk isn't what decides the platform either.

I still haven't touched my build.prop; that might be part of the equation. It'd be nice to have an xposed module that corrects this on a per-app basis, but it doesn't seem to exist.

So I reach out again to the experts - any other ideas?

[Thunderbolt General] Arkoreo:
I tend to own too many Android devices for my own good at times but recently decided to pick up a few HTC devices to experiment with rather than using some of my better devices (the fact HTC has RUUs is a plus). I currently have a MyTouch 4G (Glacier) and a Thunderbolt 4G. One of the things I've noticed (and slightly irks me) is that the batteries tend to not scale from 0% to 100% properly. The MyTouch corrects itself after a few cycles while the Thunderbolt does not regardless if I use a regular or extended battery for it. Generally it varies but on average it's around 87% when it jumps to 100%. I'm kind of assuming though that there is no fix for it but never hurts to just check anyway. Here is what I know.

Once the battery LED turns green the MyTouch applies a current until it reaches 0mAh and begins discharging whereas the Tbolt does this process at 25mAH.

I've tried bump charging and a few other techniques to no change.

Both devices show 4207mV as its full charge voltage.

From what I've read I haven't found many threads on this or I'm not using the right search terms.

I've flashed a few other ROMs and returned to stock on the Tbolt, granted I stopped because some ROMs (I don't remember the names) cause the bolt's battery meter to 'stop working' and doesn't work with hidden WiFi networks.

I'm wondering if there is a fix for this. I assume there isn't one though and I have to deal with it.
