    are you using the htc headphones or do you need beats headphones also, those headphones that came with the phone are very uncomfortable I find

    I'm using my own headphones. I just find the sound with the Beats Sound Enhancer on the phone enabled is better that any other phone i have had before, and Sense roms have better sound that other non sense roms. Maybe thats just a personal thing though.

    I was just looking around XDA there and it looks like there are some Sense JB Roms available now. Only problem is you have to unlock your bootloader and other steps to get them, once you install Sense JB you can't go back to ICS....

    Hi guys,
    Just got a HTC One X and want to learn about how to make more of the phone in terms of performance etc...

    Complete noob here when it comes to rooting, modding or installing custom Roms.

    First of all I just want to unlock my phone. Is rooting the first step in any sort of modification?

    What have people here done to their phones to make it that bit better. I'd like to read some info about the process before doing it also

    cheers

    By unlock do you mean bootliader or network?

    Yes, network. You'll need to go to your operator or get a code online. No root can help.

    Simplest way is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671

    And there's a number of ROMS here with easy flashing instructions:http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1536

    FYI , I had the wireless issue on my One X.

    Picked up by UPS and sent to HTC last Thursday and got it back yesterday.

    No Wifi issues now :)

    Also got new casing and screen so scratches all gone .

    The son's One S went for a prolonged swim last week in a soft drink leak disaster!

    He did all the usual things to dry it out asap.

    Working ok but goes mad every so often & buttons won't work, etc.

    Does anyone know if (a) it's repairable (b) how much it's likely to be & (c) where would be the best place to leave it?

    Thanks guys! :)

    Anyone know of any good apps or software or other methods to transfer your text messages from HTC 1 to your PC?

    I'm looking for this info for a friend, so I'm not familiar with this phone or Android.

    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 815 ✭✭✭dave13


    Do you want them as a text file on your PC or for transfer to another phone?
    "SMS backup+" backs up all your messages to your gmail account, or "SMS Backup & restore" backs up your messages to an xml file which can be reimported to a new phone.

    Thanks. Are those apps or software for computer?

    He just wants to have an electronic copy and to be able to print them off if needed.

    They will back up to his Google account so he can print them off like an Email, if I'm not mistaken.

    Now rolling out in Europe with CID codes HTC_044. I myself have CID HTC_001, which is the UK as far as I know, nothing yet for me.

    How about ye guys with unbranded One X's bought in the republic? What CID codes do ye have?

    To check CID, download "Terminal Emulator" off the store and enter "getprop ro.cid".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,079 ✭✭✭nedd


    mine is branded and CID is O2___001

    I cannot wait for the Jelly bean update. I have been watching the threads on XDA and dying a little on the inside :-(

    I have been on CM10 3 times at this stage but always switch back to Sense Roms because they are so much more stable.

    Same. The CM roms have a few dirty hacks affecting the stability since theres no JB kernel source yet. But ill miss things from JB too :(
    My CIDS H3G_001. DAMN YOU 3!!!

    Same here. The phone was left alone in all other regards, why not just leave it with one of the main CIDs? :(

    So once we update to Jelly Bean flash players will not work in any browser? Can someone clarify this for me please?

    Still works in firefox if the aosp builds are anything to go by.
    Have to sideload the flash apk though

    Flash still works just not supported. It wil never work in chrome. You may not install from play store. So look up for the apk and install that. Flash will then work in Firefox, and, for me, stock browser.apk although I'm not on sense.
