[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
First tip: Different people have different taste. 250 can buy you some really good sounding products. I would recommend HeadRoom because they provide a lot of guidance based on price and taste and even provide you with cool frequency response graphs. Really worth doing a few hours of research over if you're spending that kind of money. At that price, good brands to keep your eyes open for: Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Denon, and Audio Technica.

Head-fi is a good resource but ABSOLUTELY chock full of opinion and voodoo. First thing to remember is that your taste might not equal someone elses, though on Head-Fi, nearly everything is taken as fact.

Final tip: Don't buy it if it has someone's name on it. This includes Beats, Soul, etc. It's not that they're bad per se, just overpriced. You can buy some hard hitting heavy bass headphones like Beats for much less. For example, the Audio Technica ATH-M50 is 150 on amazon and have a very similar sound to the 300 dollar Beats over ears.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
The ATH-M50 / M50s are great headphones. I would take those over any pair of beats.

The DJ headphones I use are Sennheiser HD25IIs. A bit more pricey, but great on ear headphones with good isolation while being light weight.

For long periods of use, I use my Audio Technica ATH-AD700s.

For IEMs I just Klipsch S4s

If you want to buy a pair of headphones. Let me know what your budget is and what kind of headphones you want (IEMs, on ear, over ear) and I can find the best pair.

Another tip- never buy a headset. ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Recalesce:
If you want something good looking like the Beats with quality sound, wait for the P3s : http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Headphones/Headphones/P3/explore.html

If they're anything like the P5s, they're going to be amazing.

They truely, truely are. How can anyone favor beats? They're disgustingly bass heavy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cap'n awesome:
I got a pair of urbeats headphones free through work. Yes, they're quite bass heavy, but the sound isn't terrible.

What I'm really looking for is something with an in-line mic and controls. I really like the 3 buttons on the remote to pause, skip, and rewind.

Are there any other headphones on the market besides the beats that have a mic and the 3 button controls? I wanted to get the Klipsch S4a's, but they only have the single button control.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BoostedSR20:
Is there anything (earbuds) in the $50-ish range that are any better than what the phones come with? I haven't opened the ones the HTC came with, but they look like the others.... a joke.

I only *rarely* use headphones/earbuds so I don't need a $250pr. I've tried Beats, thought they were very comfortable.

Also, if I could get a helmet on over them, that would be a plus.

Please support this by posting your dissatisfaction regarding HTC's recent actions regarding non removable batteries, no sd card, no USB host mode, and locked bootloader with the "flagship"(LOL) One series.

SGS3 is looking good! Sd card, replaceable/extended battery, and easily unlocked.

Samsung proved it CAN be done, what happened to you HTC? Sad.

If we generate enough noise, they will listen. Speak up XDA!

You do realize that the locked boot loader was asked for by ATT and not HTC right. They will most likely ask the same of Samsung for their version of the SGS 3

[General Topics] ghostboa:
Well said...
[General Topics] c5satellite2:
Seriously? They don't have the necessary technology? Are you for real? HTC has control over the phone. They have the technology I assure you. I am an IT professional(for 20+years), managed IT companies, deploy servers/networks, build servers, clients, deploy wireless links, etc, etc. and far more.

HTC said that all phones will be unlocked, not me, not att. HTC rolled over apparently for att, instead of standing their ground, according to recent news.

And yes I have had HTC phones for the last 10 years, administer many smartphones, and have flashed more roms than I can remember.

I am shocked how HTC has made so many mistakes with this One(pun intended). Could have truly been a world beater if it had sd card, upgradeable battery, host mode, and an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!

Helping put pressure on HTC to put pressure on att is the ultimate goal. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, the quiet one gets ignored. Make some noise!
[General Topics] zelendel:
HTC doesnt have complete control of the phones in the US. The carriers have more control. They say if the bootloaders are locked or not and they control all updates sent out to the phones.

An a business level I cant blame them. If ATT said either lock them or we wont carry them then I would lock them down as well. We have to look at it from their point of view. They are in it to make money. ATT wants to cut back on the returns due to people messing with stuff most people have no business messing with. (happens more then you would think.)

We can complain all we want but in the end if you dont like it then do what i do and buy an international unlocked version and not worry about it.
[General Topics] c5satellite2:
Does apple obey carriers? No.

Ok zelendel, why are you even posting, you a referee or commentator?
[General Topics] zelendel:
Little bit of both to be honest. I see people getting into such an uproar without having all the facts. If people want to make a point then they should do so with all available info on it. I mean think about it. just for a hot min. If you were HTC what would you have done. Taken a 3 million device hit just to keep 1% of the users happy?

As for Apple there are far less issues with apple. If Android was as locked down as IOS then this would not be an issue
[General Topics] FinancialWar:
I have to agree with OP, even though the SGS3 is not as good looking as the One X, I will still go for the SGS3 because it has removable battery and storage which is important to me.

Sorry HTC you are trying hard to be Apple and you're not.

People gotta make money, and HTC is no exception. If you gotta boycott HTC, might as well boycott the spirit of capitalism.
[General Topics] wacko101:
oh wow, can't believe they'd do that. That's exactly like following how APPLE makes their products. But then again, HTC has other devices that aren't like that and will they be doing this to every new product that comes out?

Either way we should be grateful for the device. My Galaxy Nexus has no SD card but it's fine with me.
[General Topics] hungry81:
What? You make no damn sense. How is not buying a specific product going against the "Spirit" of capitalisim?
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
Even though AT&T requested to lock it down, it's HTC's fault for promising something and then taking it away.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
I disagree. It has something to do with HTC as well. Back at the end last year I got the vivid and we had to wait months and months for an unlock. We tried to urge both HTC and AT&T but they just pointed the finger at one another. Meanwhile, the GSII came to AT&T with no such problems. Even the skyrocket which came out at the exact same time of the vivid had no such issues. I'd be willing to bet the GSIII has no kind of problems with regards to rooting. HTC is just as much to blame for not keeping their promises, while Samsung doesn't have any such stipulations.
[General Topics] Deggy:
The Apple example is excellent. At&t bends over for Apple. No bloatware on their phones what so ever. People are mad at HTC more they SAID no more locked boot loaders and put out a phone with a locked boot loader. Does anyone like people that talk out of their ass? That's the issue here.

[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
Yes you can, but it would be easier to just use 4ext recovery which has smartflash. The recovery still flashes the kernel even though you are s-on. I'm currently using it. It's worth the money

[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Es file explorer

This is what is how it should look after you copy it to the root folder is sd card
[HTC EVO 3D] evo3djay:
yes I know what your talking about the problem is I cant boot into anything. I can't see any images on my phone it's on a boot loop in other words.
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Ok then what you need to do is take your sd card and plug it into your pc next the your going to copy that zip file meaning the Rom you have flashed to your EVO and you will extract it then you will see it create a folder next open that folder and scroll down you will see the boot.IMG next you will copy it to the same folder that you have your fastboot drivers in next open cms and typ what ever commands you normally typ to get your fastboot drivers working and then of you know to put the EVO in hboot and connect the USB cable and then press power you should now see fastboot USB on your EVO next on your pc in cmd typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG this will flash your boot.IMG this is why it want boot next typ fastboot reboot and it should boot up let me know how it works out I'm tired
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
And the file you downloaded from me you will need to rename it like this PG86IMG.zip this how it will look after you rename it do this before you copy it to the root folder of your sd card
[HTC EVO 3D] evo3djay:
okay so, I have done steps I want to say 1 - 5 basically. I'm now in command prompt. this is where I'm stuck. system cant find path specified... I must have missed a step somewhere. if anyone else knows what I my have done wrong please hlp. thank you in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] evo3djay:
My phone is already rooted I'm running 1.5 HBOOt Security On Twrp 1.0.3 but hoping when I get this boot img to work for me from cmd promt will get me going again. it's getting annoying that the commands are not working for me. I also been following Max from Htcevohacks and watching what he does and going on youtube to learn about command prompt etc has been a learning experience which, I like.

[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Not sure if this is right for what I use
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
If you want better battery life, I can suggest a few things.

Buy a better battery, flash a non sense rom(sense takes up a lot of battery), shut off your gps, turn down your brightness, if those still don't help, there might be a rogue app in the background . Use system tuner to find it.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
What like cm9 I was on fence I guess I will try it bright on auto no money for battery
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
my battery life is about 20hours

ps turn down your brightnes
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I find this hard to believe. I've tried all three, non-sense, sense, and AOSP. I get about the same battery life (screen on, max brightness, active use; 3.25 hours). That's whether or not I strip most of the useless applications out.

Anyway, OP, best I can tell you is to remove that Sense 4 rom. Seriously, they're not 100% ready for our phones and may never be. Any instabilities or issues you have using them are your own doing.
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
I disagree that Sense takes up a lot of battery. I've run AOSP, Sense and Senseless ROMs and to be honest, they take up about the same amount of battery. But yes, turn down your brightness (don't use auto-brightness) and try another ROM. I've generally found Sense 4 ROMs to have greater battery drain, which I believe can't be helped at the moment considering that they're ports and the devs are still working hard to make them stable/smooth.

I've got stock battery and I can definitely get more than 12 hours with moderate use.
[HTC Sensation] laxin:
you should disable automatic brightness if you want better battery life, but there is really something wrong with your sensation, try to install the newest firmware and do a full wipe and a new install of the rom you prefer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
I had this with a acer a500 and as u said like others i had to tally it up as a loss n moved along
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesamothman:
Can you try this ?

1) let the battery get drained completely,

2) change your wall charger and charge it again.

3) have it rooted.

4) go to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik.

5) download the latest rom from eos nightlies for your xoom. They have the new kernel 3.0.17 of tiamat, ics. choose the one that suites your device. if your device is 3G, go for umts_everest.

6) download latest GAPPS (google Apps).

7) flash the download ROM

8) flash the GAPPS.

8) Reboot your device.

Note: don't do a reboot between 7 and 8. just reboot once you flash both in order mentioned above.

Let me know what happens after that if you still face the issue. If yes, I am afraid this could be a HW issue.

Cheers.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. HQ:
I'm in the same boat. Loaded up the HWI69.zip using fastboot. I did get it to boot (after flashing it a billion times) & connected to wireless but it freezes & when I try to go to settings it FC's then it's stuck in boot loop again. Only way I was able to even get it to boot is re-lock it using fastboot.

This device was overclocked (to 1.5 GHz I think) & I think the guy who overclocked it, damaged the CPU. Have to chalk this one up to "lesson learned"
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. HQ:
I did get the latest TWRP installed (2.4.1.0) & functional. Fully wiped & formatted the Xoom. Got EOS installed with GApps, but it's still stuck at the red Motorola logo. Occasionally it will do a reboot on its own from red logo to red logo. Tried 2 different SBF files IMM76 & JZO54K. No luck. Still stuck in boot loop. I'm bummed. Has to be a hardware issue. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks

[HTC Sensation] sand1303:
ok, i am a experienced android flasher. i have been using cdma devices and my friend has a t-mobile sensation. he is jealous of my ics roms i have been running this weekend. on my cdma i just flash the rom after wiping. firmware updates are optional and they are generally one for all types. i keep seeing super cid and mid stuff having to do with firmware in the sensation dev section, and from what i have read u need special firmware to run the ics roms on his phone. but u have to choose the right firmware according to your mid or cid whatever that is. so if he is using a gsm t-mobile(usa) sensation what firmware do i need to get him?

he is s-off with clockwork recovery and we have flashed roms before i am just confused on the firmware requirements for these gsm phones.

i am the one who rooted his phone as well. i just don't want to f up his phone

thanks
[HTC Sensation] sand1303:
btw i asked him for his current firmware version and he told me 4.0.1. he is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to try and get him on ics so any help is much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
No 4.0.1 is the version of the Android OS he has on his device, it is not the firmware. If he has that as his OS version then he should have the 3.32 firmware as you have to have the 3.32 firmware for any 4.0.? ROM to boot.

CID stands for Carrier Identification, this is specific to each carrier. If the CID of the ROM does not match your device's CID, it will not flash to your device. If you Super CID your device, you can flash any stock ROM you want too. But CID is usually only relevant to stock ROM, although if the ROM is based on a stock ROM you might have to have Super CID to flash it. Cid does not apply to ASOP or AOKP ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Pm coming your way
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
Never heard of a 4.0.1 firmware :p

His cid should be supercid with 11111111

And his firmware should be 3.32, good luck.
[HTC Sensation] sand1303:
I think he is on a sense 3.5 rom so the 4.0 must be his rom.thanks for the responses and pm. Starting to understand. Going to shoot for super cid if he comes over today

Tracking

Short answer - YES

Long answer -

Not just your carrier but also your -

ISP - if you use your WiFi connection

Google - Through your account

Opera or other browser - If you use one other than the installed one

The site - whoever you use to search with and whatever site you visit.

To summarize - dirty porno searches are always recorded by someone hahahahahah :p
