Hi just got a brand new Desire X and when I played a song/clip or whatever on the headphones the sound quality is bad when compared to my brother's identical Desire X, I tried multiple headphones with the same result.
I noticed that my phone has software number: 2.20.161.11 while my brother's has 2.20.401.5. I thought perhaps this bug would be fixed in the next version but can't seem to update my phone to 2.20.401.5.
Any help will be appreciated.

I think your brother has a non branded phone, and you have a branded one.. if so, your provider needs to fix it... i have a t-mob branded phone and when i did the update to jb, i had the same problem.
Right, so you have already tried updating it with the same old Settings>About>SystemUpdate right, but it doesn't seem to show any updates?
Have you tried factory resetting your device? If yo haven't give it a try, but before you continue with the procedure, do a back of your apps, perhaps sync everything to Google, so your contacts and other stuff wont be lost.
You can do the about by going into Settings>Backup & Reset, and the rest can be handled there, after that's complete you could reset phone, but I can't guarantee anything.
It could either be a hardware bug or something, not sure about that. or maybe just wait for someone more advanced with info that can handle the Desire X more than me.

I will back everything up and do a factory reset and tell you how it goes, really strange it won't go to the next update..
So I have been messing around with it and noticed that there are multiple vodafone apps that are preinstalled on it. Does this mean that the device is branded? And if so will I be able to root it and install a stock rom with the latest version?
Thanks
It's a software problem . It was present up until 2.20.401.3 I think .
And yes , if you have Vodafone apps , that means it's branded .
I recommend installing a custom ROM if you want to get rid of the problem ASAP . If not , just wait until Vodafone releases an OTA update for your CID .

Hi all,
So i have been having some problems with my s2 recently which I hope you can help me with. Phone was working fine a few months ago, then the micro usb socket failed on me. No worries, new board goes in all is well. Then a couple of weeks ago same problems again, again no worries ill put a new board in i thought!
Please with another sucessful fix I also decided to finally test out ICS so jumped on the latest nightly cyanogenmod. Anyway, since these things I am now finding my phone will just stop getting any signal. IT usually eventually comes back after many resets and battery pull outs, and when it works it works well (3g access no problems). Today it has done the same thing and now won't seem to come back, even the IMEI number is missing this time when i type *#06#....
Does anyone know if this is likely hardware or software?
Thanks all,
Ian
Not even generic imei? You dont happen to have a EFS backup?
Have you tried flashing back te original firmware you had before the problem?
Have you tried changing the modem? since it is the one that adresses the signal problem.
And if you're thinking of flashing original ICS firmware do be carefull. Mind the Brickbug.
I face the same problem, but i at least get generic imei and signal.
Please excuse the bad english.
no imei when type *#06#
No backup.
I had this problem last weekend but the imei came back just from lots of resetting. Question is is this hardware or software?

Well, if you had a backup and restored and it would have worked it we could have ruled out the hardware.
Otherwise it surpasses me. I would have an experienced forum member answer your question. I am sorry i was of no help.
Please read these. It may be of some help.

thanks for your help anyway it is much appreciated. Hopefully someone wikll be along to help me out, ideally want to keep the phone another 3 months til my contract upgrade
Without a backup you're not fixing it. Service centre if you want it done properly, or ask local mobile repair shops (which can be very 'hit & miss').
It's unlikely to be a hardware issue if the IMEI has disappeared. It's a firmware/software problem that's caused it; exactly what however, would be conjecture on anyone's part (and irrelevant anyway; knowing what caused it isn't going to help you fix it, trust me).
Edit - Given you've only got a few mths till you get a new phone & given the probable cost of repairs, I'd be bringing forward my new phone purchase.

cm-10.1-20130212-NIGHTLY-i9100
When I used to run GB Miui (>12 mths ago, shortly after I got my phone), the IMEI would occasionally disappear immediately after boot for anything up to 30 seconds.
Why did it happen ? I'm no developer (I'm not even sure the developers of that particular rom knew), but it always showed up or after another reboot.
Essentially, if the IMEI doesn't come back after rebooting a couple of times, you're cactus.
Maybe do a clean install of stock & a reset (stay away from 4.0.4 stock). I wouldn't get my hopes up tho. First thing you do when you run non-stock firmware/root your phone is backup EFS. Always.

hmm will potentially have to try this then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261948
i rooted a couple of years ago when i got the phone, don't ever remember mention of efs and never had problems until now...
well a couple of data wipes and a reinstall of the same rom againand i have signal again...
i think this confirms it must be software related...now to backup efs.
Tell the developers of the rom you're using. Could be useful to them.
will do! any suggestions of a ICS rom that is more stable than the CM nightlys?

Lol I would say so, however you have realised it and that's a good thing. If you can already flash a rom then you can flash modem. It's exactly the same. The only reason I've mentioned it is that I run CM nightlies myself and if I use any modem other than LS8 I have the same problem.

I have a Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 on o2 uk which i have had unlocked at a phone shop so i can use it in t-mobile. Water got spilt on my Galaxy S3 a few months ago, the phone died but eventually came back to life after drying it out although the screen didnt work and it wouldnt boot properly . I took it to a phone shop who said they replaced some ribbons, its now working fine except the mobile data just doesnt work.
Its currently on 4.1.2 and want to update to 4.2.2 just to see if this will fix it.
I cant update ota because the device has been modified (guessing because of the unlock). Will I lose my unlock if I flash the firmware to 4.2.2 with odin? Or does anyone have any more ideas of ways I could try to fix it.

Hello,
First, Sorry for my english.. I am native french speaker.
Here is my problem.
I put / test many roms and now, I want to go back to stock rom because I want to sell the phone.
So I follow many topics and I always have the same problem.
In fact, I had the same problem with Sammy roms.
After flash the stock rom (France version), i follow the android setup without configuring any account... all is ok.
But After that, When I come into the home screen, all is very slow, lag !!
It crashs or the system is hanging, rebooting,...
If I want to unlock the screen, it's impossible because it's freeze.
I follow many topics about SDS, ... but i'm not satisfied with those topics BECAUSE When I install the Paranoid Android Beta 3, ALL is perfect !!!
No freeze, no lag,....
My problem is I f I want to sell the phone, I must come back to stock ... so How Can I do this ?
I know that stock rom is very buggy but When I buy the phone, I don't have problem with the stock Rom.
I had recieved 4.3 from my provider Proximus (Belgium) and no problem.
I can't go back to this firmware because on Sam, the belgium rom available for download is the 4.0 version ..
Thank you.
Try find a 3 file package and reflash stock rom (don't worry about country yet) then if everything works fine, wipe data and cache in stock recovery and flash French version

Do you have a link to a 3 file Package ?

Thank you foggy...
I've already downloaded that modem but I was not sure that I just have to flash that only file.
I will try when I have Time...
So... I've tried many differents things but it's always the same result.
If I put the belgian stock Rom (proximus), All is perfect BUT I'm in 4.0 version and there is no update available.
I've tried the Dutch, French, Luxembourg version (in 4.0 , 4.1 or 4.3) and the results are the same. It's very very slow, laggy,....
When I want to unlock the screen, it takes much time and after I received an error message like Process System doesn't respond'....
Even If I put the belgian one before and then, an other in 4.3.... all become very slow.
I don't understand where is the problem.
When I bought the phone, I've received an 4.3 update BUT What was the firmware version ???
The phone was bought in Mediamarkt in Belgium... maybe, it was not the belgian firmware ?!?
Unfortunately,I have the same bug. My phone flies with AOSP,but with stock ROMs,it's laggy,slow,and everything. Not that much,but still is. Also,going back to stock ROM made my camera laggy for ever. Not matter which ROM,my camera drops FPS when recording.
I hate this.

Its most probably u are using the MK6 firmware cos it is pretty buggy.(Forgot which firmware was it tat was buggy but I think it was MK6) Also, when the phone just get factory resetted, it is pretty normal for it to lag as it is installing all the apps etc.
Pretty normal... It seems very strange because When I've bought the phone, I didn't have those problems.
AND If I put the belgian firmware, I don't have any problem BUT I am in 4.0
As far I know, latest ROM for GT-I9300 XEF (French) is NA5, not MK6
This is the 2nd 4.3 Touchwiz Rom which is supposed to perform much better than the 1st r4.3 elease (MK6)
According to some report I read, NA5 implements TRIM much better and is (finally !) quick.
(sorry, I can't post URLS, I need to wait my 11th post (silly...))

MK6 was the best firmware ever for me. Battery and performance was amazing.
I tried NA5 later,and that was one of the most laggy stock ROMs I have ever tried.
I've already tried those last firmware and all are very slow and laggy...
I don't understand where is the problem.
I can see the problem directly after I've installed the firmware.
When I am in the setup wizard, If it's lag there.... so, there is a problem.
Setup wizard will be laggy in every rom, especially stock. Try having some patience.
Finish the setup and restart the phone, then use it for a few days before you decide it lags.

Most probably as when the phone is downloading ur old apps and restoring data etc when u do/finish the set up wizard, it lags as it has difficulties processing all those with just 1GB of ram.

Hello,
I've just bought an fresh new HTC One X+ 64GB (last stock from HTC probably, it was very cheap , just 150€)
It bring the ROMv4.1.2 that I like very much
Somehow the phone gets updated via WI-fi to ROM v4.2.2
The reason why I post again this topic is because I've searched and searched to revert to v4.1.2 and always read the word Impossible!!!
The phone heats a lot, the battery lost capacity and I HATE HATE and HATE the ROM v4.2.2.
The question that I leave here to you guys, is really IMPOSSIBLE TO revert to Original ROMof my phone WITHOUT ROOT?
As the phone is quite new, I don't want to lose the warranty!
I've seen a lot of videos on youtube saying stock rom without root, but they use the fastboot, that it seam to be the ROOT!
I've rooted already my Samsung ACE2 and updated using Odin, but on HTC I'm quite newbie.
Can anyone help.
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Thanks for you reply
Just an additional info:
Today I've called to HTC Portugal, and received an very negative feedback.
Means that they are not able to downgrade to v4.1.2!!!!
This is annoying to me and unacceptable for me.
Why I can't get my phone back as I purchased?!!!!
I still on the way to press HTC Portugal, but seems to get some resistance.
I really like the word "impossible" in software matters!
HTC is giving me and different opinion now, at least in Portugal!
Can anyone inform if fastboot for HTC is the same has the so called ROOT?
Until now I've no certainty!
I've read posts saying "downgrade without ROOT" and using fastboot!!!
I'm afraid if using fastboot that lost the warranty!!!!

The thing is you cannot downgrade HBOOT ( the bootloader) and thus you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2
if you want to, install the android rev 8 HD rom, it is essentially sense 5 4.2.2, but i think you can set it to install without like root and xposed

I was wondering that some how possible to downgrade!
Probably that's why HTC Portugal says they won't Downgrade! Not because they don't want to, but because is technically impossible!

Folks,
I need help in a big way. I rooted my s9+ International several months ago and had the Renovate Ice Rom on it. It was working fine but I wanted to try out a different rom. The title of my post says it all. Since loading the other rom I have not been able to get it to recognize my T-Mo sim card (tried a new one also) to make/receive calls or texts. I can access the internet just fine. I've done everything that I could think of from doing a factory reset several times to flashing the original stock rom several times, trying 2 internet services in an attempt to "unlock" it. T-Mo is obviously no help and even after flashing the stock rom twice, I sent it to Samsung Singapore thinking that they could help but they want to charge $400 to put in a new motherboard which I declined. It's on it's way back to me.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly welcomed as I've reverted to using my LG V20 for the time being. I paid $1,000 for the s9+! This is the 1st time in years of flashing rom's that I've had this issue and may never flash another rom again due to this.
Help......please.

I looked through his entire thread, even saw some of your postings and couldn't find any mention of my issue. Mind pointing me to the exact place in his tread? Btw, I had his software on my phone prior to this coming up and it worked perfectly.
I'd appreciate it.
Flash the devbase rom. You most likely flashed the detonator mod and that can mess with returning to stock. Also follow the advice others gave and look in tek's thread. Easy solution for me when this happened was to clean flash devbase and go from there.

I'm currently on the stock rom after 2 factory resets then flashing the stock rom twice. I did have tek's mod on it "prior" to the above. Wouldn't all of the above have wiped his mod off the phone completely leaving nothing to uninstall?
I've done nothing to it since all of the above so supposedly it's a clean phone at this point. So based on that info., what would you suggest?
AND, thank you for the response as perhaps you and ddloco are on the right track....

Did my response make sense? Wouldn't all of the wiping have gotten rid of tek's mod?

Wiping doesn't eliminate it. You have to properly restore or flash with a rom that overwrites the mod.

Are you saying that I should root again and flash either a stock or another rom and that overwrites/deletes his mod? And doing so "may" fix that issue?

Flashing devbase rom has fixed it for me previously. After you flash it make a nandroid and save it in a safe place.

By devbase you mean any rom other than a stock one right? And thanks for your time as well in helping me with this.

The rom by alexandr in this forum. Install twrp and flash his rom. Boot up and hopefully your phone works. I ran into a similar problem right after I got my S9+.

As you're vouching for his rom, I'll root and install twrp again and flash his rom. Did you flash tek's mod afterwards as well if you're still on T-Mobile?
I'll get my phone back from Samsung Singapore this week and give it a shot. If it works, how do I get a "donation" to you?
Either way, thanks again for the help.
I can vouch for his rom cause I've run every one of them. If your getting it back from Samsung see if it works fine first. I don't need any donations. Give it to a charity of your choosing if you want. Yes I'm running teks mod on TMobile now. Having volte is a godsend on TMobile as I get to many dropped calls on 2g and hspa.

Samsung told me that they would have to charge me $400 to replace the motherboard (yes you read that right) as a fix which I obviously declined. As soon as it's back, I'll try starting from scratch again via rooting, etc. as you've confirmed about. And I'll let you know 1 way or the other as to the outcome.
Your time is definitely appreciated.... Sabresfan.
