Great to read you are 'pretty sure' about it and you are basing your opinion because of one thread LoL.

'I'm pretty sure HTC is great'. Why?

Because my HTC One X is great and doesn't have any defect, scratch, wifi problem, camera problem whatever....

Did I vote on that thread? Nope. ;)

Do I have experience with HTC? Yes 8 years and all the devices I bought from them were great.

There service rocks as well, yes... I have experience with that to because one of the devices in past had a microphone issue and they fixed it in 3 days.

I'm also pretty sure that discussions like this will never stop just because people are 'pretty sure' or unsatisfied. ;)

htc doesnt make any hardware ,they buy it from supliers like samsung who is the biggest parts maker supplier , samsung makes cpus ,rams ,motherboard ,cameras ,camera ships and so on .30% of whats inside iphone is samsung , thats why htc has to fight hard ,very hard for 3rd place , you can slag samsung all you want but the fact is gs3 is selling better than the one x ,it performs better than the one x, plus samsung is bigger company than htc can never be , just be realistic
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
Good for you then.
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
1) The S3 is selling better partly because Samsung spend gazillions of dollars hyping and marketing it.

2) HTC was established WAY after Samsung and hence Samsung had a longer time to invest for R&D and leveraged themselves in the market, and yet Samsung only made a name for themselves w the S2, which came out LAST year. For such a "big" and "innovative" company it's a bit slow.
[Android General] Laurentius26:
Now you are talking sense, but only for this sentence. :D
[Android General] atrako1973:
your views are very biased, first of all samsung made a name for themselves when they launched gs1 , secondly smartphones was not their priority , as you may or not know samsung makes every piece of electronic under the sun from tv, to wash machine to cookers to medical equipement extra ,but i think that they became very successfull with smartphones in couple of years unlike htc who took 8 years to put an htc logo on their phone,plus samsung make a higher margin of a single smartphone cause they make the parts unlike htc who makes pinuts out of the one series

please speak with facts dont be biased ,try to be objectif it may make you see the negative stuff you know? ,it feels to me as if you do actually have something to do with htc ,hope im wrong
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
Yeah sure because I dont have high opinions of Samsung and I am more fond of HTC I must have something to do w HTC. If apply this theory pretty much everyone on Google Plus must be working for Google, or Harry-B and Hamdir must be regional managers of HTC.
[Android General] atrako1973:
you dont have high opinion of samsung because you are biased ,you criticism is not build on what the market is , you talked about how samsung marketed the gs3 ,its not samsung fault that the one x was marketed as if it was only a camera ignoring all other functions it could do ,go to facebook you will see that htc page is all about camera even ,htc reps dont answer customers inquiries unless its a picture than they ll pop up and say (hey nice photo did you use the onex or one s)the whole one series was a disaster form design to assembly to marketing thats why it didnt sell much
[Android General] Traniz:
I like Sense as a UI but it would be nice if it had an install (User and Administrative) upon first boot, or even better, hidden in HBoot so that people that know how to at least use it for something other than SMS and Facebook can choose what elements of the Sense package you want and don't want.

Services, apps, permissions etc.

That way people will have less reason to go to other launchers if they can manage their stock UI better.

Foobar is the music player version of what I want to see as a phone UI.

It's core is robust and simple and functional, yet it allows for customization beyond that of any other media player by simply adding elements (plugins) or settings WITHOUT changing the applications core structure.

If that is to much of a problem to manage in terms of security and ease of use for HTC to develope to, simply release a Sense Light, Sense and Sense Premium where Premium have all those extra apps that have all those GPS apps, extra widgets and such.

Sense Light comes with one widget per app maximum etc.

And the phone runs a native Google UI on first boot that loads the HTC Experience Guide that gives you the option to choose which UI package you want.

Light is the free one, regular Sense $10 and Premium for $20 or similar.

That way you could lower the cost on the phone in store, making it look cheaper for the costumer when they actually are in the store.

It's not like bait and switch though since the phone with Sense Light is still running all the core Google OS and you haven't seen Google Nexus users whining about it being a less packaged OS right? :)

Lastly...

For the LOVE of God, make a partition that is readable on the internal memory.

The reason I went to root my first Android was because it couldn't browse it's internal memory while using the SD card, rendering my rigntones unusable when charging/transferring.

THAT is a major fault in the OS.

Nokia knows how it's done and I've always placed my ringtones in the internal memory on the Nokia phones for that reason.

Not only that but Nokia has always been working as an alarm clock even when turned of since it has a low-level function that starts the alarm even when the phone is stone dead (battery plugged in but OS completely turned off).

It saved me 8 hours of idle battery life EACH day since I turned off my phone when going to bed eliminating phone prank calls at night etc and still having a reliable phone alarm.

A phone that is turned on that suddenly crashes during idle will not work as an alarm clock (happened before that the phone rebooted (HTC Legend) and when I woke up (late for work) it greeted me with the PIN code screen without setting off the allarm.

TL;DR, you lazy chumps...

HTC, please deliver a Light, Normal and Premium Sense UI and fix the permissions for internal memory, and install a sub-OS alarm clock function like Nokia.
[Android General] amacrobie:
Which is why MTP is useful, you CAN browse and work with the internal memory when plugged for charging or on USB.
[Android General] Laurentius26:
I think your views are very biased too.

First of all, HTC is one of the first companies delivering mda's.

Think about HTC Blue Angel and later HTC Universal, HTC Kaiser, Blackstone and Leo, piece by piece kick ass phones.

Where was Samsung during that time?

This is the only reason why Samsung and Apple have better selling, it's because they have better marketing.
[Android General] atrako1973:
im not biased , im calling it as it is an elephant is an elephant , a mouse is a mouse simple
[Android General] rajitsingh:
I'll have to agree that HTC botched up big time with their promotional efforts.

The ads for HOX just did not justify what this beautiful phone can do. HOX can do almost all the things that Samsung shows off in it's GSIII commercials, but for some reason HTC decided that just showing off a camera will be enough.

That was irrational thinking on HTC's part and I can't help but think that it cost them as far as sales are concerned. The One series is doing well, but it could have done even better.

I personally love my HOX. Bought it 2 days after the international launch. My device had no manufacturing defects or issues (*touch wood) and I've never been happier with a device.
[Android General] Laurentius26:
It's all about marketing and that's simple indeed, but that doesn't say HTC One X is performing less then SIII.

With good marketing talk you can sell all piece of crap if people take it (not saying SIII is piece of crap but I think you understand what I'm trying to say).

Just because SIII is selling better doesn't make it a better machine, simple. ;)
[Android General] atrako1973:
I enjoyed your Rom on hd2 could you honestly say that onex build quality is better than hd2? ,I think with the one series HTC messed up on all levels from design ,assembly ,marketing (camera ...so stupid ) and built quality has decreased if you compare with say HD2 ,I'm not b iased I love HTC I just want to make it recognise that they messed up and they need to go back on track stop trying to be an iPhone ( no sd card no battery access) be HTC
[Android General] Laurentius26:
I'm not having any issues with the hardware, I love the design, the larger screen, the quad core processor, how light it's and how thin.

Every new HTC device I got in my hands felt better and more comfortable, same I have with the HOX, I realy like it.

The only small issues HTC is having is Android to my opinion, it's software related and can be improved.

I have tried both machines SIII and HOX but I wouldn't change it in the world.

The sd card and battery I agree, but you can't have it all, hopefully they will change that in future designs

but I don't have limitations because of that yet.

Maybe the memory in future but by that time I probably have another phone. :)
[Android General] Laurentius26:
To answer my own last post... :laugh:

No sd card and no removable battery are logical steps in innovation, I don't think HTC will change it.

Logically you use your device for max 2 years before you buy a new one, so a removeable battery or sd card are not needed if you think smart. ;)

The next device probably has 64gb (or more) of internal memory and hopefully a stronger battery or less resource intensive cpu.

The battery performance is very good with the quad core beast we have now but it can always be better of course.

Actualy HTC marketing is very good if you think further, they sell a lot of phones and don't like marketing strategy as Samsung, they just want quality machines. :laugh:;)

Cheers! :highfive:
[Android General] orb3000:
Completely agree with Laurentius,

Samsung and Apple only have more money and by definition more marketing, thst´s because they sell much more.

You know marketing and publicity can make a cat to buy an elephant product, and we have lots of ppl very highly suggestive to publicity.

I´ll stay with HTC as I have been doing since 2004 because I like it´s superior design and build quality.
[Android General] The Janitor Mop:
Guys, it's completely fair and reasonable to admit and describe your preference for one company or the other. Like many others, I just prefer the way HTC does things (even though a lot of my Sensation experience has been disappointing). But what isn't fair is to say that Samsung makes "bad" phones or garbage or that it's all hype and marketing. Don't get me wrong: a lot of it is how big their advertising has been. But a lot of their popularity is that they make good devices. Sure, they don't fit my preferences, but I can look at them and say "geeze, they have pretty impressive specs, and in some ways they outperform HTC devices like in UI fluidity (even though I hate Touchwiz), they have better GPUs (contrary to what someone said earlier, GPUs are actually very important for performance and not just benchmarks), etc."

And heck, I'm glad that an Android OEM out there is big enough to go up against Apple. I've been enjoying the impressive GS3 ads with the Olympics and the fact that someone is keeping Android relevant. WP8 and iPhone 5 are coming this fall and Android better be pulling out its best to remain relevant, so stop hating on fellow Android OEMs and owners.
[Android General] yilmaz101:
HTC sells how many phones, against samsungs how many. There is no contest in volumes as far as htc vs samsung is concerned. What htc had going for it was the fanatical user base that absolutely loved their htcs and reccommended it to anyone and everyone who'd listen. Among my friends I was the first to go htc, since then (touch pro, in 09) I've had a total of five htc phones and at least a dozen of my friends have also began using htcs, some migrating from iphones, lg and sammy smart phones. Would I now reccomend the hox to a friend, although I went out and baught one myself. Absolutely not, its not because the phone I got is a piece of crap, I too dont have issues with build quality or design, I absolutely love sense and although I'd have prefferred a newer soc to the tegra its not a deal breaker. What is a dealbreaker is the bull**** that they are giving customers about bootloader/warranty.... I remember that HTC had promised us that after the sensation they'd no lock their bootloaders, what happenned? Pure and simple, they lied, not only did they lock the bootloader but they threw away the key. Where I live we buy our phones outright. Cuz no operator subsidises a high line phone. Yeah you can get a hox on contract but it is only 20% cheaper and that is with a 2 year contract. So here I am with a HOX, that cost me 1000 USD (yeah a thousand, no typos there) that has a two year warranty on it, and what happens when I decide that I want a custom rom on it..... yeap you gussed it, I am SOL as far as HTC and warranty are concerned....

The main reason why I loved and tauted HTC is because of the developer community and support here at xda, with a locked boot loader I am limited to whatever the incompitent htc engineers are capable of. On previous devices there always was the option of going with custom roms which looked better, worked better, was better, this time around I am stuck waiting for the 2.05 update that God knows when will come out, or no Jelly Bean, where as with an unlocked boot loader, or decent warranty terms we'd had JB at least two weeks ago.
[Android General] Laurentius26:
The reason why HTC locks the bootloader is protect themselves from inexperienced people who like

to flash a custom rom/screwing it up and claiming there warrantee every time at HTC customer service.

That will cost them a lot of money and for what?

On the other hand they still giving you the opportunity to unlock but with there terms.

If you read a bit on the board you will see HTC doesn't use these terms to void every warrantee, they fix a lot of devices too.

I don't like a locked bootloader as well but don't you think it's there right?
[Android General] chaki-:
I love my HTC but the warranty terms with the locked bootloader are dealbreaker for me. I will buy the next nexus for sure just because of the bigger dev community. I am disappointed from the HTC customer care too. Just because you hit the market after 5 months with a new phone, you stop updating and give a sh** about the rest of the phones out there? Those older models have brought you here on that position god da** it! Build quality is great, but be honest.... just that isn't enough!

I am not a fanboy and i like Moto, Sammy and even LG as well. I don't care about SD card and i see "no SD" as the future in the Mobile world.

That old Nokia moves which are used from HTC now ( every new phone has something new, but nothing from the old one) is pushing them back.....

Hei!

After flashing the Revolution 7.something ROM, i would like to change my bootscreen back to the stock one (instead of the Beats one).

Someone can upload/link it? Maybe explaining how to install it (i can use ES File Explorer if i'm right)

Thanks

If you go to theme section there is a thread there for bootani and someone has a flashable pd98 zip file of it. Just flash it like a rom by wiping just dalvik and flash.

Edit: sorry thinking of boot splash for bootani just copy and paste into system>media folder must be named bootanimation.zip there are a whole bunch of nice ones out there in theme section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riironman:
Were not allowed to have our phones on us...but a Bluetooth watch is good as long as is stay 33 feet from my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
I dunno... 33 feet is kinda limiting... I'm not allowed my phone during work either and 33 feet isn't even enough to get outta my office and into the hallway lol, I could never see myself spending the money on something so trite, however; for others I can see how the application dictates it would be a worthwhile investment, sounds kewl to me nonetheless!

sent from my SGS2 running AOKP, eh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
This is just my opinion and not my suggestion. I'm a little anti authority kind of person. That being said, regardless if I had the watch or not, I would keep my phone in my pocket but with all sounds turned off and probably vibrate turned off too. If it vibrated when you were near someone, and they heard it, they might tell on you. I would not keep my phone in a locker because it could be stolen. I will not leave it at home obviously. I will not leave it in the car because of the extreme heat and possibility of theft. I would only check my phone if I was in a locked bathroom or stall or in my car. I wouldn't risk it anywhere else that there were people around. If I did get caught and given the choice of the phone or the job, I'd not back down. I would say that I would need it on me in case of a local or personal or family emergency. A job is probably saying that because a few people would blatently screw around or talk on their phones and not work. That doesn't mean you run to the bathroom every five minutes to check your phone or hold a text conversation with someone either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
In many cases, like mine, it's nothing to do with productivity, we are not allowed phones on site, period. Or radios. Or USB sticks. Or...

I have worked without access to my mobile for the last 16 years and never missed anything important, we have proper phones at work if there is an emergency...

I would think anyone willing to risk their job for the sake of having a phone in their pocket should maybe reassess their priorities a little, especially in the current econmomic climate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I've looked in the SDK a bit but not seeing anything that's obvious to me, but I have several apps which I assume must be using Maps in some way to show map data in their app. Since we have offline map data capability, it'd make sense to me if all apps can use the data, but in all such apps I have they continue to download their own maps data.

Anyone know if this is possible to do? If so, I'd love to know the details to touch bases with a few app devs to see if they can do this in their apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
Could someone with a STOCK, UNROOTED Verizon SGS3 go to Settings > About device (most bottom settings option) > Status and scroll down to "MEID", right below "ERI Version" and check the format of their MEID? Is it like This:

DEC: xxxxxxx....

HEX: 0x yyyyyyy......

(where yyyy..... is the same as, but with one less digit at the end, as your IMEI, the next item below MEID)

or is it just one string (one row) of numbers, such as:

yyyyyy......

Please note, you have to be unrooted, and never have rooted your Verizon SGS3, because this issue (may be an issue or not) started showing up after rooting, just want to confirm it was like that from before, since I don't remember what it looked like before. It may be causing 4G to keep becoming idle and block data traffic (even though 4G shows as still connected) after the data has been idle/unused for a while.

If you've had this issue and found the answer and a way around it, please feel free to comment as well.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ctbaker:
Just checked my wife's bone stock Verizon 32GB White S3 and it matches my rooted Verizon 32GB Blue S3 which also matches what you described in your OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
The MEID and IMEI will be the same both before and after rooting. The only thing that would change them is possibly using Kexec and/or flashing CM (which will possibly corrupt them). Both before and after my root:

MEID Dec: 18 numbers

MEID Hex: 0x followed by 14 numbers (IMEI minus last digit)

IMEI: 15 numbers

Sometimes I've noticed though, it takes awhile for the network state to change from IDLE to transferring data.

[HTC Sensation] vitoces:
Hi, I bought a used sensation.

This sensation have a unlock bootloader and I make S-OFF Juopunutbear an super CID (11111111).

Then use superuser to root, all ok.

The problem is when i flash a Custom Rom the phone restarts every 4 minutes.

I try with more roms: ViperS, Revolution HD, MIUIv4, Blitz, HyperSensation, badosp-experimental, ICSense 3.6, aokp_pyramid_milestone, CoinDroid, OrDroid ... and restarting ...

I try also change RIL, RADIO and Kernel; The RADIO to fastboot cant install, error. The kernel 3.2 install fine and the RIL 4.0.0013HMQ install fine.

I've also tested put silver paper on the conections to the phone with the cover and put a cardboard in the battery to hold, any change, restart always ...

If i put the archive PG58IMG.zip or others, in the root of sdcard, to flash whit bootloader, the telephone dont recognize any

The data of my telephone:

Bootloader: 1.27.0000

RADIO: 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M

RIL: 4.0.0013HMQ

CID: 11111111 but CID Getter say HTC_032

Open ADSP- v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

ENNC- Boot

I do not know what else to do, any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

I am looking for a way to control a few (at least 3) android devices from a computer or another android device.

Think of it like at school, when the teacher want to show all the students how to do something, she control their computers

and they see exactly what she is doing. I need it for meetings, so I can give each person a tablet and show them my presentation.

Please don't refer me to Teamviewer or other apps that do the opposite - control the computer from the android device.
