I have owned 9 HTC phones and all have been high quality, with no faults. Like many others I was tempted to try out other manufacturers. The first was Moto Atrix (less said the better) and then SGS2, which was outstanding. I think the latter phone is the one that did the damage. I switched back to HOX but many will have upgraded to SGS3. Once lost....many never return. Reputation is key!
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
HTC will be fine if anything WP8 may be its saving grace. In the UK anyway, Nokia are giving them a helping hand, the L920 is an EE exclusive and lack of sim free options many adopters are getting peed off with Nokia's decision and on other forums I've read people are going to get the 8x instead.

With the reviews being good and even the 8s being offered at a competitive price it should help them out a bit.

If anything there's more chances Nokia failing than HTC.
[HTC One X] Zlotin:
1. Nokia failed 3 years ago as they've hired Steven elop as ceo.

2. Wp is such a microscopic market, that it can't provide neither HTC nor Nokia a comeback. May be in 3 years, but for now it's necessary to go with Android, if you want to make some $.

After Microsoft discontinued wp7, costumers will think twice before buying it, although I really like what Microsoft is doing (reset with windows 8 base, hole ecosystem and so on)
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
I had 8 HTC phones, tryed Samsung, LG, IPhone, but none was so good as HTC. This is my point of view after my experience with others manufacturers.

I read a lot of post and I think that most of the comments about any HTC phone that most user post are to say **** about HTC. It does not mind the matter of the post there is always someone that write bad things about HTC. Some post are completely overacting and out of context with no sense.

HTC is a great manufacturer with great phones. They have bad reputación due to Samsung and iPhone fanboys that post **** about it. And olso because they have not a great presence on media, they do not spent too munch on publicity and marketing.

So what are you doing posting here?
[HTC One X] barmanham:
Saw this coming everytime I got a HTC phone I'm sorry it was a pos lol HTC one s and all its problems meh that's what HTC gets for trying to make quick bucks before turning into nothing.... those people who run HTC must be like "look at that n4" now LG is gonna destroy us lol there screwed. All those different HTC models every 3 months that were buggy people caught on
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
This is what I'm talking about! Great post in a sh#t thread lol!
[HTC One X] shadehh:
The only argument i disagree with is the Acer argument about flashing taking hours to do/figure out.

When we are talking about HTC we should be talking about companies in which league their supposed to be. The companies where we could say htc was once on their level, HTC doesn't do it WORSE than ACER. They do it BETTER. True. The same applies for HTC in relation to google or samsung. HTC doesn't do it better, they do it worse.

Get what i mean? Compared to Acer, HTC makes flashing look like a kid's job and makes it look like it is totally access-able .

Now compare HTC to Samsung or Google itself. No offence, but even if HTC makes their devices easier to flash than it already is. It still, in terms of flashing a device(compared to samsung and google), an issue that gets me boiling a.k.a worse.

S-OFF doesn't give us the freedom that Samsung and Google phones would.

Alone being unable to update the hboot is something that drives me away. Look at my damned carrier phone, while everyone will slowly start running Jelly bean i'm stuck with stupid 2.17. Why? Because HTC doesn't allow us to switch. When i first chose my first HTC phone, i always thought of it this way, android is android and i will be able to debrand and do everything to my phone that i did with my samsung phone.. but unfortunately...

Oh how i remember the samsung days, simply flashing whatever rom you want. Sim unlocking your phone for free. When an idea popped in your mind of something you would like to do, you would just google it there's already a thread going on.

What about de-branding your phone? This is something i more than welcomed. How useful it would be for me to just debrand my One X and float away with OTA updates that others got a month or two ahead of me.

Comparing HTC to Acer is as fair as comparing Samsung/Google to HTC

But htc should be trying to compete with SAMSUNG IMO and not stoop to Acer's level.

Hope i didn't offend anyone, just my 2 cents
[HTC One X] Zlotin:
I can understand what you mean, BUT compare HTC's amounts of cash, employees and so on to Sammy or Google. You'll see, that HTC is a little store compared to Walmart :)

As far as I can understand, the hole s-on thing is created due to warranty: they are not able to check, if device was on custome Kerbel or Rom and it messed the things up. Sammy has its own repair stations in nearly all countries they sell their handsets, while HTC works with partners. They just can't afford it due selling, it's not efficient.

So, I see HTC as a little boutique compared to h&m. In h&m you have 30 days money back rule, in boutique you don't.

And it's up to you, if you buy your thing in boutique or h&m.

But what I want to say, here in Germany its if you have HTC is like having tatoo for some sort of people: not everyone will accept it and understand your choice, but on there other side you feel yourself "in the club".
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
I do disagree with the idea of debranding, An user who paid every cent for a phone as HoX should have a little more rights than another one who bought and paid only half of the phone. You cannot change hboot because your phone is branded you paid less money than other user that paid full phone. So, from my point of view you cannot have the same benefits as the one who full paid it.

I do not wont to offend you it is only my point of view.
[HTC One X] thekillingroad:
Hmm, I do understand having partners for repairing like it is already in Turkey but, S-On for checking?

How can I do anything to "harm" to device with custom ROMs and etc. Just put a simple rule, say if you use unsupported software and end up not being able to use your phone, we will charge you €30 to factory reset it, not in case of unrepairable bricks. Man I just made it up now. :)

Thus you can,

1. Make some little profir, that is not a real win since all you will get wil be 5000 EUR tops in most countries

2. Make a lot of geeks happy!

if the S-On is for checking someting..

Also in Turkey it is a bit "rare" to have HTCs, but never felt like using a boutique product. Thinking about boutique prices, I also don't want to :p
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Wow! Your logic is a bit offensive.

So i pay around 299 euros for the phone and 25 euros a month 2 GOD DAMN YEARS LONG..... and you have the guts to come over here and tell me i payed less and therefor deserve less? I'm sorry but that's just messed up because in no way on EARTH did i pay less. If anything i'm paying more

1 (hox) x 299 euros (on contract)

24 (months) x 25 euros = 600 euros total in a course of 2 years (1000 sms, 2000 minutes/ unlimited internet/ i think internet is unlimited now among all austrian carriers (because of law) however, when they choose to slow down your internet, they start slowing it down after 1 or 2 gb to a point that it is unusable beyond)

TOTAL: = 899 euros + activation costs that we have in my country i'd easily hit an added 100$

= 999 EUROS TOTAL

999 euros = 1296.2025 US dollars

I EVEN forgot to mention that in austria we are said to have one of the cheapest contract payments in the WORLD

Now go figure guy - WITHOUT CONTRACT:

500 euros for phone

(in our country contracts without phone can cost as low as 10 euros for 1000 sms/ 1000 minutes/unlimited internet (but after 1gb your internet gets so slow it is hardly usable - so basically you'll have a hard time exceeding more than 1gb once you've passed it due to horribly slow internet)

10 euros month / 2 year contract

24 x 10

1x 500

= 740 euro

even if we add activation cost it is 840 euros in comparison to the 999 euros in long term. However, such cheap contracts you can get without activation also

880 euros = 1140.7440 US dollars

So get your act together...

Just for your information, these carriers, all they do is delude you into thinking a phone on contract is cheaper than buying a phone and and a cheaper contract.

When in the long term it is quite the opposite. Otherwise there would be NO point in carriers as they wouldn't earn anything but they are infact as rich as rich can be. Nuff said.

Unless you are talking about a 1 year contract, but there's no such thing in my country and therefor your argument is invalid. All contracts => 2 years. I've promised myself not to buy contract phones anymore because they are a waste of money in the long term. As for the phone being branded it is BECAUSE the carrier wants it to be so in the first place and i doubt it is HTC's concern as long as they make the money they make off of carriers. Alone sim unlocking costs up to 100 euros where i'm from. Go ahead and tell me it is cheaper, because it isn't.

If money is the factor we are playing by than the de-branded people should have a BRANDED PHONE. How do you like my logic now? Thought so.

just my 2 cents, any offense in this post is meant to be offensive this time round.
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
Wow

Your logic is the fools logic

You have a phone for 300 plus phone carrier cost 25€

Me have paid 550 plus phone carrier calls (500 min, free SMS, 1 gb data) 35€...

Because as you understand I also have to paid my phone calls, same as you. The only difference is that I can change my carrier when ever I want and you cannot. So if I paid more for my phone (as munch users) it is a bit offensive than other users who paid less money could debrand and have same rights as me. Well in fact I do not mind if you debrand your phone,what I consider offensive is that you complain about that, because you paid lees money that a lot of users.

And of course I do not understand why you complain that you have to paid more money than me, that is not true, if it is something that you have choose, it was your choice.

Of course I do not want to be offensive and apologise if my logic offend you.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Well that would conclude that in your case it is more expensive. In my case it would have been cheaper to not buy my phone from my carrier. I never claimed that i pay more than you, i have no reason to compare myself with you, nor do i really care about anything your life is about to be honest. I was merely stating the fact that there are people out there who would get more bang for their bucks buying their phone singularly without a contract and get a cheaper contract in return.

You just seemed a little pissed off that you have to pay so much despite the fact that you bought your phone without contract. This, my friend, is only your fault. Just like it is my fault going for a carrier, but trying to childishly justify not being able to de-brand my phone by claiming that you guys have to pay more adds nothing to the debate. All it does is stir ****. May i remind you that one of many reasons why MANY people also head over to XDA is because they wish to FREELY unlock and DE-BRAND their phones?This is one of the reasons MANY, i repeat MANY people come to XDA.

Also, even if it were the case that we paid less, why should we not be allowed to debrand out phones? BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING LESS?

Jeez. It's the egoistical thinking in your post that gets my time bomb ticking.

edit: this thread has gone completely off topic, i'm sorry. But sometimes a person feels like he has to say something and this way the case. I will here by end it.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Why do all these threads end up this way? If people who bought an HTC phone aren't happy don't buy another one. There are plenty of other options available. I had a LG O2X and would never buy another LG product again because of the way it performed. I don't dive bomb the LG forums to share how miserable I was and in the guise of a "public service" trash LG whenever I can or interrupt discussions amongst LG phone owners with my past experiences that aren't relevant. Those of you that are so anti-HTC isn't it time to move on? Don't you have more valuable ways to spend your time? Repeating your same rants over and over doesn’t improve the credibility of your message; it has the opposite effect.
[HTC One X] Von Ropen:
Please do not misundestand me, I repeat just what I say, I really do not mind if people buy branded phones and then debrand it... I disagree with pepople that buy branded phones and want the same rights as people who buy unbranded...

My thinking is as egoist as think that buying a cheap phone will have same rights as someone who bougth a unbranded one.

I do apologize too to gone off topic...
[HTC One X] Zlotin:
Just some points:

Over clock your phone and burn CPU.

Install some kernel with freakie drivers and mess up your phone.

Flash to the death (I've done it with my Acer a500,so my system partition is not more formatable)

There are plenty ways, how you can destroy hardware with your software...
[HTC One X] thekillingroad:
Well I was actually thinking those while writing my post but.

We just happen to have very excellent hardware technology, does not the CPU for instance protect itself for overheat? Just sense some degree that is way close to your limit, then shut yourself down. Desktop processors were able to do this in.. well, for how long I can't remember.

Installing a wrong kernekl with freakie drivers can, "physically" damage your phone?

Had no clue about, flashing to death, can't say anything.

But if this is the case. What does, in example sammy does? No I'm not comparing the capabilities of HTC and Sammy but, do they just repair phones which are physically damaged due to sw tweaking?

[HTC One X] LSTR:
I agree HTC is losing money due to lack of advertising i work in a mobile phone store and 7/10 of the customers i deal with end up walking out with a one X instead of an S3 ... Hell even my staff now love the phone and i find that they are now more enclined to sell the one X over any other device the only phone i can say is hard to compare it to is the iPHONE
[HTC One X] Babydollll:
Yes, it is.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crypted:
You are being very lazy. Read the section on how to post. Then, read the Notes, and give us information so we can know what doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
So, you're on stock Froyo, flashed the 3.x branch Sony Ericsson patch onto your Samsung Galaxy S 4G (the only solid information you gave us, and only accidentally since it's in your signature) and your GPS still worked exactly the same, right? Since you didn't clarify, that's my assumption on your process.

On my part, I've flashed it onto a Galaxy S 4G phone that was on AOKP m6r5 using the 3.x TWRP No-SSL patch. Seems about the same, still won't lock onto any of the satellites with 3 floors above my head, though it does see 10 as existing (0/10 locked using GPS Status). Maybe better, definitely not worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crypted:
The Notes explain the differences. The numerous variants that are not Google derived use SUPL servers of those companies listed in the filename. This is discussed in the thread.

If you have three floors above you, I would not expect any lock whatsoever. GPS signal is very reflective. So, your device could see 10 unique identifiers bouncing within your building. But, those will be too far above the minimal error threshold I use. Ergo no lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heniki:
Thanks a lot

Hi

i have galaxy S 4G AOKP ICS

i have tried it without believing it

because i am suffering from gps issues since the first day i bought this phone

i have tried all the crappy solution (angry gps, Gps status, .... ,faster fix ...)

i have just flashed this one: Google Specific NO-SSL TWRP

it works perfectly

thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!

Blastoff v2.5 kernal

I have always had gps issuse with this phone

I flashed the non-SSL google build

First link in post

Flashed perfect...first use no lock

I let it run maybe 5 or 10 minutes rebooted phone...

Second attempted it locked 6 of 11 sats in 3 seconds

Now gps locks every time in 3 to 5 seconds

Thanks so much for this mod now I can use my

gps on my phone.Thanks again

Root

SGS4G

Slim ICS

Flashed the 3.x Google specific CWM flashable

Nothing happens in 20 secs, but after 40 I get 7 locked. This is a major improvement over it never locking in the first place.

Does this patch require root access? I know methods 2 & 3 do, but does the first method? This might sound like a stupid question, but I have never done an ADB install.

After testing my GPS again, I can't get a lock. I am trying to run Runtastic Pro with it. I switched to the recommended Google Specific NO-SSL and there was no improvement. It says that there are 13 satellites around, but can't lock.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
We'll call this one hidden in plain site.

I've been testing a new kernel for Beastmode lately and was trying to get GPS to work. I flashed 3.1 google specific build and still no lockie. So I did what cryptic mentions in the OP and READ the notes. Well that note that I quoted up above is the thing that needs to be done for this phone to make GPS work. After I added that line to the build.prop and rebooted I got a lock in about 10 seconds indoors to an accuracy of 6 meters. Not bad for this phone at all.

Most of are ICS ROMs use CM as a base. So after going through and looking at most of their props NONE of them have that line. I don't know how it's escaped notice as long as it has. I've only tested it on CM9 8-29 build with Beastmodes yet to be released kernel. I doubt that it matters though. Flash the zip, add that line, reboot and you should be good to go.

So thanks to cryptic for this fix and one of the most detailed OP's I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And too erikmm(aka Beastmode) for the incentive to actually look into this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WarToilet:
I tried editing that line, but it's not in my build.prop file. :S

Would ADDING it make a difference? Where should I add it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
LOL. READ the third paragraph you quoted from me. It says add that line. You add it in the build.prop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I know you stated you added it. However the notes say to change it. Where did you add it to the build.prop? I might be wrong but I was under the impression you need to add things in the proper place or you can screw up other functions.

This. I wanted to make sure you actually added a line, and didn't just change it.

I am using Erik's Slim ICS with Lightning Zap! Kernel. Running the exact same thing on my brother's phone WITHOUT the added build.prop line got a lock first try in 3 seconds. On mine running the exact same stuff takes 300+ seconds to get a 5 sat lock vs his 11... I added the build.prop line and tried the alternative builds. I even tried the 1.3 worldwide patch per OP. What do I need to do! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I think I put enough info in there. Note: I have tried ever different patch in the OP...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
If you've used anything but this post to ever try to fix GPS, this post will probably not work for you. For example, YAGF disables assisted GPS, so speeding up AGPS won't help you at all... regardless of how you do it...
