[Q] A couple of questions and issues with my One X - HTC One X

Hello Everyone
I recently installed Android Revolution HD 15 after using Team Venom's Viper ROM for a while. Venom is an amazing ROM, but I decided to try out something new since I am a fan of constantly changing ROMs and trying new things.
1) For some reason Google+ keeps saying "Cannot connect to server" and of course Talk doesn't work either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google+, clearing data and cache, but nothing seems to work. I have also tried both on Wi-Fi and network to no avail.
2) I noticed there's some small indicator in my notification bar which I don't know came from where. It looks like a red battery indicator or something but I have checked almost all the applications that could be related to it but they aren't. This is it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) I do not know why, but the phone does not give me the option to "charge only" or "mount as SD storage". I have tried looking in the settings but there's no "Connect to PC" application like there was in the Viper ROM. When I tap into "Storage" there are options on the bottom under the title USB Storage but they say "unavailable" and there's one called Mount as USB storage but it's greyed out and you cannot really tap or interact with it.
4) There are no quick settings in the drawer any more like there used to be in Viper, and I have tried Control Panel and Widgetsoid but they just aren't as good or at least don't provide me with the exact same thing. Is there anyway to perhaps take the drawer from Venom and apply it to ARHD?
You're probably thinking "why wouldn't he just go back to Viper if he's such a fan?" well.. I can tell you that from my short experience with ARHD, it is much, much faster and more stable than Viper. Viper seemed to lag quite a bit for me, especially after running the stock ICS ROM for a while, the difference is very clear.
If you have any ideas or advice, please let me know. My HBOOT is now 1.31.. it was 1.28 but I had to update it in order to install ARHD 15 instead of 9, which is the latest ICS one.
Thank you, mate, and have a good day.

inside my browser and into some google reader rss content.
It seems to appear above images (flash movies are working though) and not all of them, i can see images quite well.
This is quite annoying and it doesn't occur on Opera Mini browser, just in the STOCK BROWSER of HTC desire.
I'm using a stock rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310
I don't remember seeing this white question mark using default stock rom, so ... any advice ? I also tryied to clean browser cache and data but it didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
just a stab in the dark...do you have images turned off, or an ad blocker?

Flashplayer is installed and works correctly
Ok, I solved this by myself: the problem was and host file previously modified by the pre-rooted rom. I restored the file manually and everything is working. Just an AdBlock matter.
Thank you all!
I've been having the same problem with my S3 from day 1. Even had the handset replaced to no sucess. It works fine on wifi but whenever i go onto mobile data i get question marks everywhere. Going metal looking for a solution!

[Q] How to modify quick settings for Sense 3.5 ?

Hey guys.
Here's the thing: I just flashed a new Rom, based on Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.5 , I had a mod for my previous ROM where the quick settings were great. (A lot of options and settings, like volume, brightness, autobrightness, powersaving etc.) The developers havn't posted a mod for the new ROM yet, so I thought I'd ask the help of the vast XDA community. So bassicaly I just want to be able to modify which quick settings I can use. I thought I might be able to do it with UOT Kitchen, but nope...
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.2 with Sense 3.5.

I did flash BLueHD theme and there it was, Advanced Quick Settings. But I am on rom ARHD 6.3.2.
Try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512957&highlight=bluehd
And continue from there.
(I do not have any Advanced Quick Settings mod in my folder where I keep everything I have done to my DHD since I bought it. So I assume my those settings came with this theme or something related to that theme. )

Thanx for the reply ! I'll check it out, though I like how my ROM looks currently, but I'll see what I can do.
Try to install tweaks for runnymed. You will find it at the mod thread for all Sense 3.5 devices...

Phone info setup as a device administrator

Hello,
I have had my phone for a while now, but today was the first time since I got the phone that I looked at the device administrators area (settings / security / device administrators) and I noticed that there was an item called "Phone Info" that was activated by default and after reading about what it is supposed to do, I decided to deactivate it, but I was unable to do so. My questions therfore are:
1.) what is the purpose of this item?
2.) why can I not deactivate it?
3.) is it normal for it to be activated by default?
4.) if is not needed than how do I get rid of it?
In case it helps, my phone is rooted and I am still running the stock 4.1.2 ROM that came with the phone.
A few days ago I tried out the "All In One" 4.3 Stock ROM from Thunder Stick, but it was not working for me to well so I restored my nandroid backup of my original stock ROM so I am not sure If the other ROM has anything to do with it or not or if the setting has always been like that, but as I said before, I just noticed it today and would like to know what it is and how to deactivate it if I can.
Thanks for any and all replies,
Mtcell

Here is another one that shows the permissions dialog and where I should be able to deactivate it, but pressing the deactivate button has no effect.
That is weird. I am checking my s3 now but this is all it shows on my optimus G. Maybe it is a Samsung thing?

Edit: here is what my s3 shows under those settings, but remember, my s3 isn't activated. Maybe it is just the activation stuff?

"I think a ducks opinion of me is heavily influenced by whether I have bread or not."
Thanks for the reply. After doing some research I have discovered that it is part of some corporate security thing that sprint has on some of the newer s3's (see the attached screenshot) Anyway, I have frozen the app since there is no way to disable it. That will work for now until I change my stock ROM in a few weeks.
If anyone else has this app setup as a device administrator and wants to disable it than you can use the pro version of titanium backup or the free version of sd maid to freeze the app like I have done. Note, your phone must be rooted to use these apps.

Android storage encryption

Hey guys, got the following problem:
Important things first: I am from germany and I know that my english isn't the best, but I'll do everything I can for explaining everything, so you can understand me.
So, the problem is complex; please read everything^^.
I am proud user of my HTC One M8, and after months of "normal" using, I tried out several things like custom roms, storage encryption and such things.
The last custom ROM I was using is ViperONE.
On my One M8 there is S-ON, USB-debugging is deactivated, the H-BOOT version is 3.16.0.0000. (

}
, please excuse the quality).
There is a problem with the recovery partition/version --> when I want to boot into recovery, it opens H-BOOT.
Now, what happened:
I often tried to reset the smartphone: install a new rom, etc.
And with every try I became sad, because it failed.
It could not open the required recovery-mode. God knows why.
As initially mentioned I encrypted the storage, and on the decryption screen was written, that the smartphone will hard-reset after 30 times of incorrect password input.
I thought, it would be a good idea, to try that out.
But first, it seemed like the best thing to disable usb-debugging. I think, I been totally brain-afk.
So, I did this (disable usb-debugging, restart mobile phone, 30 times incorrect password input), and watching as the phone get doomed.
The phone starts into H-BOOT, thats it.
But... no, one more thing, my decryption password got changed.
I can do nothing for several months.
Funfact: After some search in blogs, asking google, etc. I found out that my only mistake it was, to turm usb-debugging off. If I haven't did that, there where no other problems.
Any ideas, what to do?
Do you know, what the decryption-password is now? I thought it could be null, so the password-variable is empty. But on this point, I have not idea, what I should do.
Please only write constructive posts, nothing like "customer service". If there is no chance, on saving the smartphone, it's ok, but please write, why you think, that there is no way.
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely, Dardassa

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
