[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
definitely, i've not been much active on the HOX forum frankly because of s_on and the same all sh*t everytime from HTC,

i have always been a sony fan, laptops, headphones, phones etc. you pay for the quality not the brand, but after the X10 i moved away to HTC, I am not going to buy a single HTC again,

Dude my mother and brother have a Xperia T, the pictures blew away my HOX,

A picture of my lounge, with a tv remote on the floor 2 meters away, zooming in on my hox it looked grey, even my dyson vacuum at the end of the lounge

zooming in on the T it showed the red, yellow, green and blue colours on the remote crystal clear and also the dyson power button was RED!, welcome back Sony. As soon as it is released i am popping into O2, or carphone warehouse or phones 4 u and buying it in cash, yes i saved up or just going to order it over ebay a few days after release, then sell off my HOX

lately no matter what kernel i try, 10:AM take phone off charge, 12 PM battery at 75% 3pm, battery on 45% 5pm battery on 9%.

Im hardly using it only whatsapping the Mrs as she is abroad,

When i bought my one X it had a yellow spot and then i was about to return it and get an unbranded one, it had the wifi problem so i didn't go for that, but build quality leaves alot to be desired, they still turn up and go away the yellow spots.

What? Motorola? Are you serious? My recommendation, which comes from the deepest place of my heart, for you; don't!! Any brand, but not Motorola! Really, I've suffered so much from their policies. I'd say, better buy HTC again rather than buying Motorola! We've collected almost, or more than 13k signs and were begging Motorola to unlock the bootloader of older devices. Their response was an update which closed the root exploit...

Before you consider buying a new phone, gather info about how hackable your future device could be. If I would've made some research before I bought the One X, I definitely wouldn't have bought it!

[HTC One X] kelvintisw:
Re: HTCruu.com brought down.

To be fair, One X is an awesome phone even on stock rom if you have got a problem-free set. I still love it very much!

However, the way HTC do things, their crap service centre, and their so called "flagship" phones every several months....turn me off and feeling cheated.
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
To be honest Sony are ok with bootloaders, and i have seeen some of the Sony development they are able to install roms without unlocking bootloader

Have HTC given any explanation as to why they have removed access and ultimately stripping a level of support some may need... My thoughts are their looking at making extra dollars in their service centres.

[HTC One X] BugsyLawson:
I wonder if this has something to do with the use of ‘HTC’ in the domain name, rather than the files being shared? That wouldn't explain the disappearance of Football's stuff - but If HTC really want to close down sites that share RUU’s, they might as well kiss goodbye to their community support.

I will try to contact HTC for clarification, but in the meantime - I’ve temporarily uploaded all 85 Endeavor RUU’s to my website, along with the 24 Evita RUU’s. You can download them from http://bugsylawson.com/index.php?/files/category/1-endeavor/ and http://bugsylawson.com/index.php?/files/category/10-evita/ respectively.

I'll let you know how I get on with HTC. We have to get to the bottom of this.

first football and now this. and very close timeline from each other.

i dont know why they are doing this but if they found footballs thread and htcruu.com they are reading xda.

so i tell them this:

next time you hope for a device to be publicized by mouth by an enthusiast to theyr friends and family, doing this will make them go to samsung or sony. Yeah, neverming that there is almost no publicity of your devices here in portugal and every time someone ears about htc is from someone who has them. well with smart moves like this that wont happen anymore, so, good luck with best device on the face of the earth and treating customers like sheep...

[HTC One X] xmoo:
Re: www.htcruu.com taken down. Alternate hosting found!

The issue is that the persons used HTC (probably hacked/shared) accounts to download the files. With the latest RUU .31, HTC tracked down all the people who downloaded it from their server. And they seen different locations than their own developers or service center. This is how they tracked the people that shouldnt have access and thats why some devs (and websites hosted by the devs) suddenly stopped, before getting in any problems.

This is the story I've heard, and why one of my friends had to leave XDA recently and clear his history (won't say his username). Same thing happend with Conflipper and Sniper911, they also got tracked down and had to stop.

Good thing about HTC is, they are nice enough to first warn the developer. Not like Sony, taking direct legal action.

I do agree the way HTC thinks. Some files are just not ment to be shared with the public but then again some files are ment to be shared with the public.

Thank god I don't have direct access to their server. I personally would see that as stealing and thats why I dont want to have direct access. The stuff I share on XDA have already been leaked by other developers, I just know how to find them (mostly on these weird chineese websites) and share them on XDA.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
What a piss take, they are seriously grinding their customers down.

Not being funny, but even if we do represent only 1% of the HTC users, you got to think that must of us here rant and rave about our devices, and word of mouth is one of the most effective forms of advertisement, if we stop doing word of mouth HTC will start to decline. Just my opinion...

And Xmoo, totally agree mate.

[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Re: www.htcruu.com taken down. Alternate hosting found!

Read through xmoo's post on the previous page. Keep in mind that everything in this thread is only speculation.
[HTC One X] BugsyLawson:
You're welcome. I actually purchased a dedicated server specifically for hosting RUU's etc for the community last year. Unfortunately I was then taken quite ill and I had to let it drop (luckily htcruu.com then arrived and filled the gap). I still have the server and it's currently doing nothing more than burning a hole in my wallet. So, I'd be more than happy to upload and host any files that people need.

The only problem is that I'd like to understand what HTC will and won't allow. I mailed HTC three times last year (to ask them just that), but the most I got back was a standard mail stating "we've passed your request on". If HTC can't be bothered to reply to my mails, but then try to shut my site down, that will be the day I end up jumping ship for another brand.

Bugsy.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Re: www.htcruu.com taken down. Alternate hosting found!

Really, I can't thank you enough. It is such a huge contribution to this community.

There must be a solution there somewhere.

Why are any questions regarding Football quickly shut down by the mods? A lot of people were running his roms and he has been a valuable member of this community for a long time, providing countless leaks which a lot of other rom developers based their work on, yet, xda is strangely silent on the issue and any questions that are asked are shut down and threads locked.

Is talking about or asking questions about Football not allowed??

This is crap, i know this is in conflict with legal terms.

In other words customers are more satisfied with the option to use a ruu and they will stay at HTC as a customer.

I mean, read the posts of HTC on twitter, Google+ or Facebook. They're frequently writing stupid things like "what color is your life?"..." isn't this lovely device the sweetest thing you've ever seen?"...

A tech noob would think they're selling beauty/makeup products! The sad thing about this is, a huge amount of customers follow them through this marketing campaign. This campaign is HTC's new strategy and includes the high security restrictions on devices and the strong policy against developers. Yet, they are dev friendly compared with other brands, but all of us know it's just a matter of time until the next dev will leave... then another dev...and another dev...
