Oh no i thought HTC was gonna take like forever to release the source.. no offence to anyone if i did offend anyone.I appreciate all work that you guy's put into these devices. What i meant was their sale's.

2009 Q2 – NT$6.5 billion ($217 million)

2010 Q2 – NT$8.6 billion ($287 million)

2011 Q2 – NT$17.5 billion ($585 million)

2012 Q2 – NT$7.4 billion ($247 million)

As you can see they made less not saying that all is bad. They are sitting well. But i know Samsung and apple will have much higher. I Know that SGS3 is BLOWING UP internationally not to sure about the u.s. I just figured people would get that instead and forget about the EVO. But then i find out people have more than one phone that they develop for. I guess ill wait to start learning to develop. Also can i ask a question?You guys are developers right. Is it like your job for a company? Did you learn in school?or in spare time?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
Well maybe put this information in the op cause that isn't how it reads at all. May be good time to update the op.

Last year there was way more advertising on the 3d. I think HTC will be just fine. Willing to bet the lack of the LTE network hurt them quite a bit. I know a few well known devs that are still waiting for the sgiii when they preordered last month.

As far as my job, it isn't related to computers at all. Just a hobby. No schooling besides working with other devs.

Im a line cook/chef! But this is all spare time and a huge hobby 4 me!!!! Im starting 2 learn with help how to decompile and create my own stuff. :D

Eventually i would hope to b even half as smart as some of the devs here, and other forums! Im learning pretty fast though, and i have become somewhat addicted 2 it! I figure android is getting bigger and bigger by the minute! Who knows someday these guys here could b working for big name companys! I know they dont get nearly enough recognizition for what they do! Anyways ya......i think htc is doing just fine, especially with the latest devices! And i also dont think u have anything to worry about when it comes to deving for this device!! :D

EDIT...didnt mean to quote you. Lol. Sorry bro!

Just about everything released about HTC recently says the exact opposite. The company is not doing well, and some reports have them pulling back in the US because of poor sales. Samsung is crushing them right now. I like theirs devices, but they are definitely not doing just fine, they are slipping financially.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Yeah except HTC IS in violoation of the GPL (not so much anymore, although they released an update and no source, so they are again). Don't take my word for it, search FSF's opinion on the matter (which are the people that actually wrote the GPL) also it's clear by reading the GPL yourself. Source MUST be released, it doesn't say source has X amount of days to be released. But it says it MUST be released if someone requests it. Also even if it's not explicably pointed out, the spirit of the GPL itself is enough to win in a court case easily. We just need someone with a copyright on part of the Linux kernel to get angry with these hardware devs enough to do it :P

Doesn't matter. That's one of the worst arguments I've heard. Just because we're not devs doesn't meant we don't love open source. HTC cannot use the code without releasing its source. It's the spirit of free open source software.

Also, to be clear, I didn't mean any offense to the devs (and Haus's post and mine are clear that it's not targeted at the devs) but just posting to point out that HTC (and most of its competitors) are in violation of the GPL. Our devs are awesome!

If anyone else is interested into the horrible state of GPL compliance issues, this guy (who works on Red Hat -- mind you) has some awesome articles on the situation:

HTC are still incredible f***heads

Maybe they arent doing as good as they once did. But i think it has to do with the carriers! Verizon more so.....and recently at&t. Htc will pull through......i really hope anyways....or ill b on my lte for ever because i refuse to buy anything else! Htc and sense is what made me an android guy! When i switched from blackberry i had 3 choices.....the iphone, motorolla droid, or the incredible by htc! I took one look @ all 3 and knew instantly which phone i was getting!!!! The htc droid incredible of course!! Its sense ui is what sold me! And to this day still sales me!!!! I dont care what anyone says, sense is the best looking ui out there! Especially sense 4. IMO, htc will b fine. And they will pull through, and i for 1, will keep buying htc! Anyways im done chatting about it, it is what it is, im just saying IN MY OPINION, that htc is the best, and am pulling for them to come through. Nite yall. :D

I learned over the years that it's all about the hardware and not the software. Mostly all software can be ported over. Just wait until the Devs have everything they need before we start getting ready to jump ship. All those cool features will be on the LTEvo sooner or later.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
5.Cause of occurrence:Taoyuan, Taiwan – July 6, 2012 – HTC Corporation (TWSE: 2498), a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announces unaudited consolidated results for 2Q 2012. For the second quarter of 2012, total revenues reached NT$91.0 billion. Unaudited operating income was NT$8.2 billion, net income before tax was NT$8.9 billion, net income after tax, excluding minority interest, was NT$7.4 billion, and unaudited earnings per share after tax were NT$8.90 based on 831,227 thousand weighted average number of shares.

Not as much nearly as Sammy or apple etc but they are not slumming.

As far as gpl violating I do remember this song and dance with them on many occasions throughout the past few years.

The devs here are great seeing all the work is great to many are really ungrateful not implying people here but more so in the s3 sides international and us I have all three devices and the HTC community is always great devs , chefs users alike other than the flood of immaturity in the og EVO side once upon a time ..

Samsung's dev community is big much bigger than EVO community combined but one thing I notice in the international side is a lot of the same thing people using with out permission all over . I'm happy with HTC shocked not many ads but eh w.e I am happy with the devs that stayed with the EVO

:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] antwan*:
As dragon has pointed out, the numbers are there. HTC is not doing poorly by any means but given their reputation, a lot is expected of them. In some cases they're on par with that reputation by delivering great devices (One series), but they're not the number 1 Android OEM anymore, Samsung is. Look at the Nielsen report that came out a few days ago, HTC controls 14% of the Android market, Samsung a lot more, 28% if I recall correctly.

I love HTC and I want others to experience the difference as well. So clearly when I say HTC is falling behind, this is what I mean.

HTC needs to focus and dominate, globally. When they announced the closure of their facility in Brazil not long ago, I began to worry even more. South America is a prime market and hopefully they don't miss out. "iPhone" and "Blackberry" is all people know there. They have no idea who HTC is.

Supporting a company is one thing, but blindly following and defending is another. Let's not let our bias show. Let that be the difference between us and the bulk of the Apple fanboys. We can't ignore the reality of the matter, we must be objective and cautious.

EDIT: Ah, and of course I couldn't agree more with the above comment. Despite it all, HTC will always have a following of great devs and it is honestly one of the best communities out there compared to others, especially in terms of quality. That goes both to the actual HTC employed devs (Sense without a doubt, love it or hate, put forth a lot of missing functionality that helped drive Android. Things Google has just barely put out in ICS and JB)

As well as the community here at XDA and abroad that have overcome a lot to fortify HTC devices as ever so great, just look at the HD2 for example.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOMIKE025:
Haha good call!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
Don't take this the wrong way, as I'm not trying to be argumentative, but HTC is hurting. I'm not saying they're hurting as bad as RIM yet, but they are hurting. There have been a number of articles recently on their lack of sales and decreased income. Any slipping at all in this industry is dangerous, and HTC is definitely slipping financially.

http://mobile.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-...-Continues-to-Slip-Refocuses-on-China-127202/

There are many other articles out there if you care to search. Again, I'm not trying to argue. I hope they can turn it around to, but they're not in very good shape right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbedard:
The source is out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
I'm well aware of the gpl and that they are in violation. You completely misunderstood what I was saying.

The entire point was that people expect things to be done for them. Meaning, they will complain to HTC about their violation only for other people to dev for them. How long has the phone been out? Come on learn some patience people.

I talk with big name devs all the time and they don't sit and complain about gpl, they press on. There are just a lot of demanding from people that really have no clue on what to do with source when it is dropped. That's my point.

We know they were in violation, but at the end of the day is it gonna stop us from doing other things? Main reason people want kernel source is for jb anyway. Lol. It's all good tho. We have source so now that discussion will be a thing of the past.

This was well known for months this is why many taiwanese think HTC stabbed them.in.the back.

Several months ago cher Wang announced that HTC was a Chinese Company although China loved it Taiwan did not another reason sales slipped in Taiwan .

USA is obvious several things are factors in the loss here apple being one of the biggest .

Now I see people talking on multiple devices overload by HTC and yes this was true as of the EVO 3d I had a person in HTC telling me how swamped they are.

This was also a while ago but I doubt much changed ..

But also remember HTC is a very strong company this is not the lowest point just the us pays more attention the past several years. Samsung is a much larger company that makes many things for a very long time that being said the carriers jump on.the hottest things thus push commercials etc EVO LTE was plagued with controversy again like the 3d on.its launch haus and others remember the protest over the boot loader .

Point I said this is I know HTC will not be in.rims shoes simply because they still make amazing devices that millions buy yes rim too but really a blackberry :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
The best part is people sending e-mails and tweets to people who aren't even connected to the higher-ups of the company. I'm quite sure that if you tweet HTC, you aren't reaching the CEO... More like someone who works a desk job and follows their Twitter. So your words will probably never even reach the higher levels of HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Oh indeed sir, I totally agree with you. All I was pointing out was that they were in violation and that it's strange all these hardware companies can get away with it. Nothing to do with the actual development of our phones :)

I have the pro version of Titanium Backup and am wondering what apps to freeze to prevent an automatic Verizon OTA. When I tried from the App manager, FWUpgrade 1.2.0 was not freeze-able. Looking at [ROM] [STOCK] [I535VRALF2] Stripped, Rooted It's on the list. Since I haven't seen much chatter about "FWUpgrade" in General or Q&A I thought I'd ask. In addition, I decided to freeze VZW Package Installer. Should I freeze anything else?

BTW I rooted using:

I was wondering the same thing about which specific services should be disabled to avoid OTA pushes, except I have Root66 with Touch.img and boot.ani.fix. Working like a champ BTW, much thanks to the developers.

In Titanium Backup Pro, I have no issues freezing FWUpgrade 1.2.0.

ThanksI I'm about to try installing TWRP via GooManager. I also came across this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767125&highlight=sdm which suggested to freeze SDM as well, so I did. Phone still works fine. I will be sure to go through that spreadsheet and see if anything else is worth freezing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
Done and done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BitRifle:
Hey, just a heads up, freezing the APKs alone isn't the right solution.

If you freeze just FWUpgrade then it isn't actually disabled. (Notice by clicking software update in settings) and unfortunately if you freeze the other APK then you will cause your phone to crash randomly AND you can get a crash/hang on-demand if you click software update manually.

In the market there is an app called 'OTA Blocker' for S3 will properly take care of the OTA apps and installs a hook in with the OTA APIs so that it gracefully is stopped from being able to perform an OTA. If UI interaction is needed it pops up a message instead of letting the phone freeze/crash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kthung:
So you come to XDA and your only two posts are to promote your own paid app. Care to elaborate on how your app works?

Agreed. This is a community, not an advertising venue. If you care to "contribute" please do so. If you think the visitors of this forum are blindly going to buy your app, you are sadly mistaken.

Is there a suggested method of blocking OTAs on rooted stock right now? I will eventually go to a custom rom, but am taking my time. All my previous android phones have been HTC and I'm trying to make sure I don't screw something up with my new gs3. I have gotten TWRP installed, nandroided and done OTA root keeper but want to make sure. I'm comfortable in ADB as long as I have the script before hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lowg:
Well I've been pushing my Moto Droid to it's last legs before getting my GS3 so a lot of this is shock to me.

I never thought VZW would push an OTA and force you to install it. They would nag you, but never force the install.

I'm also not familar with current recoveries (I was using sprecovery on my old phone) and it wouldn't ever automatically flash an OTA, you would have to confirm the update so I'd imagine it would be the same in CWM or TWRP.

I have been running Resurrection Remix 2.5.3 with NEAK 2.0.6 for a few days now and it is easily the best combo I've ever used, I have one problem though...

I'm seeing extreme battery drain when using any music app (tried about 15 different ones, using PowerAmp atm) where a process named mediaserver keeps the phone from going into deep sleep.

I've observed the process and it is taking up to %65 or more of the battery usage.

I know that this is caused by corrupt media files and I've tried all the solutions I could find like formatting, cleaning and deleting corrupt media files etc... all to no avail.

Anyone know of a fix for this? I need help, it's driving me crazy!

Note: as soon as I exit the music player, mediaserver use drops massively, but I want to listen to music without my phone lasting 4-6 hours!

Hi everyone, this is my first thread, I tried looking for the problem but was not able to find any information about it. I have updated the firmware on my I9003 from KIES the latest firmware is:

PDA: I9003DDLF2

Phone: I9003DDLE1

CSC: I9003ODDLF2

Firmware version: 2.3.6

Baseband: I9003DDLE1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL1153545 dpi@DELL139#1

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDLF2

now after the update I am getting about 70 Kbps download speed on my phone, I am able to get close to 390Kbps upload speed, before the update I could easily clock 2-3 Mbps on the same phone. Can you please let me know what I can do to fix the problem. My phone is not rooted and I have always used official ROM.

I have contacted my service provider, they are looking into it but I have a feeling it is something to do with the update because I have never had issue with this provider and it has always good speeds on 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaggivasu:
You might want to check the network settings. I think there is an option to use only 2g. Maybe that could be the issue. Do you get the "H" symbol when using packet data ? The H symbol is present on the left of the mobile signal indicator.

Hello great community. I have a yakju version of Galaxy Nexus and my case goes like this :

First

Unlocked

Unrooted

Running ICS 4.0.4 ( build IMM76I , XXLA2 radio ) stock

Meanwhile

Installing Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5

BackUp Files, Contacts, SMS etc

Unlock and Root

BackUp with ROM Manager ClockworkMod

Install stock ICS 4.1.1 Jelly Bean ( f946a4120eb1.signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.f946a412.zip )

Then

Running ICS 4.1.1 but with these problems :

1. When i go to set a ringtone it open my file browser (ES File Explorer) to select a file (!) and not the common ringtone list. Like there's no ringtones in phone.

2. I restored contacts successfully but there aren't sorted in groups as i had it. (Friends, Family etc)

3. I cannot delete some folders and files in my sdcard (like my rom backup - i have stored this in my pc btw)

4. I cannot root again using SuperSU (failed)

Any help about any of above would appreciate it. Thank you

ps It's my first time i'm doing all these stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kslotay:
1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.

Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.

2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.

3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.

4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.

Enjoy Jelly Bean!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kslotay:
No do not extract the Zip file!

If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).

If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.

Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)

You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.
