Hi everone, sifu sifus/ Android pros sekalian. Just bought a HTC Sensation XE and its my first Android phone, a very great phone although it's already a dated phone (now quad core is the new "king'). err do i need to read all the posts in previous version before asking noob questions? too many posts to go through

i have 3 problems currently
some apps installed on phone memory, i move into microsd storage gets corrupted n can't be opened. not all apps though. i think if has to do with card format? wad format should i use for this phone? using 16GB Class 4 San Disc microsd photos taken using camera can be viewed immediately, but later on i found it has gone corrupted. (related to above issue?) another issue is all video format can't be played, including own recordings. i've tried mobo player, mx player, the same this is real headache @.@. have read some advice in XDA n other forums, not working. |

QUOTE(edan1979 @ May 17 2012, 08:41 AM) try formatting the card with fat32 partition. as its a new phone... not much setting yet.. i suggest you clear it to factory setting once more... done with the formatting. works like a charm now. though I'm yet to test some HD vdeo playback formats yet. thanks guys. Just starting to get the hang of it yup... the store which i purchase the phone also upgrade it to ICS... testing it for a while at the shop and really not satisfied with the performance... a day later its already being s-off and custom firmware reside until today... |

I wanna custom ROM my HTC sensation XE to ARHD 6.6.4. before doing that I have to root first right? However I have a question... For warranty purposes I need to unroot it with the RUU right?
Is this the RUU? http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads?sear...rce+Code|Other# I am using software build number 3.32.707.110 ICS4.0.3 HTC Sense v3.6 |

QUOTE(nig3l @ May 20 2012, 10:51 PM) hmm thanks nutty. I'm also very new to android, XE is my first android phone LOL. still learning, much more to learn... is ur phone running stock software w/o root?Pass all test but why sometimes not responding to my touches eh. Especially when trying to execute text-ing , some keys when type just dont respond. Also when unlock screen + key in pin ( this is where it dont respond) Of course, in the end.. after waiting. it will respond. but thats just not right isn it Added on May 20, 2012, 11:32 pm QUOTE(nig3l @ May 20 2012, 10:51 PM) hmm thanks nutty. copied from the first pagePass all test but why sometimes not responding to my touches eh. Especially when trying to execute text-ing , some keys when type just dont respond. Also when unlock screen + key in pin ( this is where it dont respond) Of course, in the end.. after waiting. it will respond. but thats just not right isn it The source of this problem is static buildup on the touchscreen, altering the nominal operation of the touchscreen. This could be caused by using an unauthorized charger, there are people claims that they suffer from this when they used chargers provided by other phones(blackberry). To prevent this, you need to only use the charger provided in the box. If you still suffer from it eventhough you used the official charger, then you can try this. This method fixes almost 90% of the devices that sufferes the unlocking issue. If everything else failed, send it back to SIS or whoever you bought the phone from.

QUOTE(kaheng20 @ May 21 2012, 10:15 AM) We are advised to use the original charger to charge our phone, others brands usb charger may cause the screen become unresponsive bro I have some problems here... Wish to Custom ROM my phone, but since my phone which is already ICS 4.0.3 with HTC Sense v3.6 n HBoot 1.27, I can't really use the revolutionary method already.. and I don't really want to use the unlocker from HTCDev... Any other ways to root and S-off? Just wanna Custom ROM it at the end of the day... Added on May 21, 2012, 10:19 am Hehe, please do write us a review if you going to try those 2 custom roms Added on May 21, 2012, 10:26 am QUOTE(chickenducksoup @ May 21 2012, 10:21 AM) yes.if u use fake charger the touch screen will not working.... hopefully mine no problem cuz I'm using Nokia charger to charge... partly because it's faster than HTC ones... output is 1200mah.i tried that. i going to try ELEGANCIAâ„¢ sense3.6 This post has been edited by nuttyking91: May 21 2012, 10:26 AM |

QUOTE(kaheng20 @ May 21 2012, 10:39 AM) So far there are no others method to root HBoot 1.27 without using the unlocker form HTCDev that i know there's no safe way to downgrade the bootloader yeah? I can see there are many disadvantahes of using HTCDev unlocker... dilemma... for dunno what reason, I cant play all of the phone's video format other than the own recording... and i found that if i transfer PDF from comp to phone via cable, i can get it to open in the phone, but when i DL straight from the web to phone, can be opened... what's the reason behind this? SD card compatibility? |

QUOTE(kaheng20 @ May 21 2012, 11:23 AM) Hmmm.. not sure whether the SD card causing the problem, do you try another SD card? and the video do you try MX player or Dice player to play your video? MX player with codec installed.. =) dice never tried b4.. tried mobo before as well though.. can't open.. This makes me wonder how should i format my card(best way).. use cable n format through my computer, directly from phone unmount n erase(is erase considered as format?) or to use card reader n format through my computer... btw i'll try dice soon =) Added on May 21, 2012, 12:09 pmplus once so often i always have this problem where over half of my transferred files will go into LOST.DIR. kinda random though. I don't know why is it so but I'm beginning to suspect faulty card? any way/software to check whether it's faulty or not? gets to my nerves...

Since I'm not planning to have custom ROM on my XE and just wanna be rooted, I'm currently extremely happy with mine.. =) well i want to custom rom... i don't really see the advantages of rooting without custom rom |

QUOTE(nig3l @ May 22 2012, 08:09 PM) Hmm pretty much did all the steps there is. u should send to the shop n see if they have ant other solutions.. if not, then send to HTC service centre for warranty. Phone still have touch screen issue. Anyone experience it here? Eg. Pull ring to unlock or shortcut to ring unlock does not respond. Sigh, I guess I shud send in to claim warranty? P.s/ switch to HTC because it looks good and specs better than ip4 |
