[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yup. I get that HTC makes nice phones. The build on the DNA is amazing. But after using the note 2 for a few hours I don't see why everyone wouldn't have that instead of the DNA. Note 2 has way more going for it and the screen is actually fairly nice. I don't get why HTC made this monster 5inch phone with so much power just to run sense 4 and having nothing special... It just seems gimmicky. Samsung knows that the same old interface gets boring after a while so they started adding all these awesome features to it. HTC hasn't added hardly anything to sense other than making look different and run a little better.

The m7 is what he DNA should have been. They always do that... Release the better phone a couple of months later. Samsung has completely resigned every single phone and releases their flag ships on yearly increments at least.

Edit: and I know these two phones aren't supposed to be in the same class (phablet) but the size of them is so similar it is basically forced into phablet territory. Which then turns to basically saying HTC released a gimmick phone that isn't more usable as a phone or a phablet than its competition. The m7 will be much more usable as a phone like the 1x+
[HTC Rezound] i9100g user:
it should have had s4 prime Msm8974 at least
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I'll take a look if this has an SD slot for sure. If not, then at least a very high level of onboard storage (32GB AT LEAST, 64GB preferred). If not, I'll pass on it.

I'd even like removable battery, but since HTC doesn't seem to like that lately, I won't hold my breath over it.
[HTC Rezound] i9100g user:
Yes the processor is also same s4 pro just the clock frequency would be higher ~1.7ghz
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
I was super excited about the m7...then I bought a note2. Maybe if htc gets their **** together I will come back but its gonna have to be extremely special to take me away from the note2....its ridiculous.

Sometimes you have to be smarter than your smartphone.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Well if it's everything its cracked up to be, this will be my next phone over the dna (screen too large)
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
As long as it has reasonable storage (preferably an SD card).

Sometimes you have to be smarter than your smartphone.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Yeah that would be nice but I've learned to lower my expectations with verizon.. Dirty money tactics, you just know there's a guy in a $4000 jacket telling the ceo, "you could be making a lot more money if you did this.." and poof, no sd cards and tiered data plans :rolleyes:

Edit: I've heard a rumor that dropbox could start streaming music, which for me, would eliminate my need for an SD card
[HTC Rezound] Blakmagic:
Some of us are in dead zones half the time. SD or big internal is a must. Or start picking up the pace putting up towers. However streaming makes more money for Verizon. So.....ya......SD or big internal should be a smartphone law.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
As soon as I moved to Montana, they had no 4g at all, now it's just about everywhere I am. This all happened in the last 5 months. So from what I can see, they are definitely upgrading.
[HTC Rezound] Blakmagic:
I'm in the Mojave desert. We have 4g in our major cities, but we have a ton of places with no data period. For instance my drive to work is 100 miles and about 90 of it is very choppy 3g and a ton of dead zones. With so many rural areas 4g may not happen for the drive. For many people phone storage is important. We have had large phone storage capabilities for a long time, so really what's the issue with leaving it alone? MONEY!
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Money first then customers. They're a business and that's what they're after.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I'd like to see OTG implemented instead of massive internal storage. That would be a real nice compromise. An unlocked bootloader and OEM OTG would be a nice little package to sell us for a reasonable price. Kind of like DISH does where you pay a one time fee and can use all the external storage you want.

They should have made it look more like the DNA over the 8X... Looks lame Imo. Doesn't look like sense has anything new either, just a different theme. Probs won't be picking this one up.

Edit: the bezel looks kind of thick too. And the bottom where the keys are looks off to me.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
At least the temperature is about on par for Taiwan :p
[HTC Rezound] motenak:
Greatest "feature" yet!

I just read that Verizon is going to charge a $15 per month fee if you unlock the bootloader! I don't know how that is going to work but I can't wait to see the ****storm that causes. Could someone please explain how unlocked phones cost the service provider more than a locked one?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
They don't cost more, but I can see how the people unlocking them have a better chance at breaking their phones.

The only thing is though, I don't see how they will tell if it's unlocked, and if it's something in the code, I don't see how it would be to hard to be patched out in code or by hex editing. We just gotta stay one step ahead
[HTC Rezound] vdChild:

FREE LIVE STONESBY THE GOOGLE PLAY ELVES

Keith Richards turns 69 today, and we’re celebrating by giving everyone a present: a free live version of "Beast of Burden" from the final show of the Rolling Stones' 1982 tour. In the accompanying video interview, Keith tells us he wishes he could write another one just as good: "What I aim for is to write great soul ballads." He might not sound as polished as an Otis Redding when he croaks out, "Am I hard enough/am I rich enough" along with Mick Jagger, but he's got just as much passion. It’s an amazing performance of an amazing song.

Hey,

I have a X8 e15a, stock kernel (can't change or it would be hard bricked) and... I can't make the wifi work...

I've tried stock roms, froyo, MC V3, and gingerdx...

I get the same problem, It can detect wifi connections, but when i try to connect...

"scanning... connecting... disconnecting" and loops like that :crying:

Any clue why?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
Try connecting with a different network.

You might be trying to connect to the same network. Try somewhere else and see if you can connect. Maybe that router isn't properly configured. I had a similar problem a few months ago.

Also , please don't make two different threads about the same issue in two different sections. All questions are to be posted in the Q&A section only. Not in the "General Section" :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafagaz:
Sorry, I wasn't really sure where to post it :p

I've tried that too, it's a general prob, I've tried to connect to OPEN, WEP and WPA, and it's the same...

I wonder if the wifi it's broken, but... then why it can detect the nets? :confused:

Should I test if this is a qi charger? Or is it a definitive no?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tmedler:
From the reviews

" not what I thought it was

December 12, 2012 By Adam B.

This looks like an inductive charger, but it isn't. It is really a contact charger with really wide contact points.

My particular unit had only one of the two controller attachments functional out of the box, so I ended up returning it for a refund as defective. I decided, after having tired it out, to get a different charging dock for a little bit more money, instead, as even if fully functional, it felt cheaply constructed"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt5oh:
I have started to get curious on how some users are getting 13-15 hours of battery life out of their Galaxy Nexus. I wanted to show my results and ask for your opinions and input on how I can get more out of it everyday?

My setup is running MMuzzy's 4.2.1 Rom - Stock Kernel

Here are some screenshots after a full days use. I waited for the battery to get to 1% before snapping these screenshots - I don't really know how to read them so maybe you all can help, thanks

Using the stock battery monitor, GSam, and Better Battery Stats.

Not good enough to be outside the several battery life threads already out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vhgomez36:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vhgomez36:
LOL probably, but at least I know it's sleeping like a baby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I think 4.2(.1) is just bad for battery (or maybe how some apps behave on 4.2...). Both my vzw gnex and my nexus 7 (with stock rom) are pretty terrible compared to how they were with the same apps on 4.1 and before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I can keep my Nexus on 1 day and 10 hours by 3hours screen on and 36min Music listening.

But usually it gets empty in 16 hours because I listen music in school and I keep 3G on. (screen on something 1 hour)

Everything stock, just my own ROM that I have rooted and modified a little.. :P

On 4.2.1 JB (Takju) I have better battery life than in ICS 4.0.2 (Yakjuxw)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Something is very odd there ... Do you browse the web a lot? Hell, I consider myself to have a low battery life and I always get around 15 - 18h of usage + 2 1/2 - 3h of screen on time, could get a day and half with lower usage ... So something is out of its way dude -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I browse on the web sometimes and I use cm9 music player for music listening and I swipe the notifications away then it won't flash the led light which saves a bit the battery... (If you asked from me....) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightmedz:
I think I'm getting good battery life with my stock takju 4.2.1. I have installed franco kernel though and left the default settings intact. Having a good screen "on" time mostly indicates a good battery runtime. I get 4+ hours screen time on cases where I'm outside and ran my phone to empty. Usage is a mixture of WIFI and 3G.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt5oh:
I am on Verizon Wireless 4g

I use a little bit of bluetooth music on my morning commute to work. But after I get to work Wifi is off and bluetooth is off.

Maybe because I am on 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
with extend battery or custom kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Nah everything is stock, I don't have a need for a custom kernel on the GN. Although I must state that I disabled Maps, G+ and have no FB app (those 3 run **** in the bg and had a impact on battery life on the NS), because I don't need them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK. :)

I have not disabled Google+ and I don't even use it..

but I have facebook enabled and I have not noticed any difference when FB is disabled, still pretty same battery life.. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
CDMA phones inherently get worse battery life when compared to gsm phones. LTE makes it even worse with the added radio. If you can turn WiFi on, that should help your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
No, I was asking the dude that made the thread ;) Something is VERY odd, his battery drainage is ridiculous ... Perhaps plausible if he has a 1200 mAh battery -.-"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Ah, I had an experience where FB was causing a ****load of wakelocks (checked with BBS), so I got rid of it. After a while I didn't even bother using it again, I just use the browser.

I also use light flow for custom LED notifications, some say it drains battery, but i've let a LED run for hours on fast speed mode and it didn't show any drainage.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this tells me a couple things.

#1 : AT&T will no longer be supporting the device via OTA or Kies updates. Typical trend from what I have been gathering from other forums.

The flash will mod your battery, wifi signal, and there are images for the data signal. It will also place the necessary xml files in the System UI.

mods not working

I was eager to try these out and luckily did a backup with safestrap first. I installed the blue icon version first and it was fine but i didnt like not having the battery icon. I then went with the 1% zip and it took away all my icons for home, recent apps, back, battery, wifi, data signal, and also my wallpaper. I had to restore the rom slot to the backup, tried again and same problems. Lastly, I installed the yellow wifi signal with the altered lock screen and I LOVED IT!! A few hours later i tried to install from play store a simple app and it said "invalid package file". When i rebooted and fixed permissions with safestrap it would not boot past the safestrap screen. The tablet was just black. I tried again after i restored the rom slot and still same problem. I checked my other rom slot and everything is fine. What am I doing wrong?
