The battery life on this phone is great. I had a Galaxy Nexus originally and then switched from the Note 2 to this.

If you want to carry that thing around in your pocket all day be my guest but I am much happier with the DNA compared to the Note.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
ummm and the fact that we only have garbage sense roms, like all 5 of them in total, which are basically just the same thing.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
And that is your opinion. Most people consider sense the nicest looking manufacture skin our there.

And show me something like viper tweaks on a touchwiz Rom, oh wait, you can't.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
This is why I will never buy another HTC phone, the people who buy HTC phones on here do so for the crap sense rom, and will argue with everyone that its the greatest piece of software out there. I buy my phone because of the hardware, and want AOSP as my rom, not this sense crap.
[HTC Droid DNA] pierrekid:
Lol its funny that your phone seems to be the anomaly. Everyone, including HTC THEMSELVES, have acknowledged the poor battery performance. Just look at the size of your battery vs. The amount of pixels the dna is pushing. Do the math man there is reason everyone ( except for a few in denial dna owners) has pointed to the battery peeformance. Living in denial my friend. If you like your dna, kudos to you. Enjoy carrying that phone charger around all day.

If the only bad thing you can say about the note 2 is the size thats a personal thing. Im 5 11 and this phone fits in my hand and pocket beautifully. My girlfriend is 5 5 and she has no problem what so ever with the note. That speaks dividends to how great the note is if the only bad thing you can say about it is the size. Note 2 ftw
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Than go buy a nexus.

You should never buy a phone that you don't like stock, because for all you know it may never have aosp. If you don't like sense than don't buy HTC phones, same goes for touchwiz, or any other phone with a skin. Its simple as that.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
trust me, if Verizon had the nexus4 I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
[HTC Droid DNA] pierrekid:
Umm....no. are you serious? Look at the polls around net of touchwiz vs. Sense vs. stock. Most people prefer stock, then touchwiz and lastly sense. One of the biggest drawbacks of sense is the recent app drawer. Its beyond puzzling. Why would take up entire screen to see recent apps, including cutting away the app drawer, pull down menu and home screen? Very inefficient.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Oh really, this is the first link that came up when I searched for a poll, and most others echo its results.

We're in denial of our poor battery life, all reviews say it's poor. Lol

[HTC Droid DNA] pierrekid:
Lol its funny how you pull an article from 7 months froma site that recently compared the two phones and said touchwiz destroys sense.

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You made a claim, I proved it wrong. Now its your turn to back your claim.

What 1 person days in a review doesn't affect what polls say..
[HTC Droid DNA] pierrekid:
Guessing you cant read the link I posted lol. Its the same site you posted...only more recent genius. I proved my point, time for you to find a more relavant article lol.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Lol ive said my peace. The web, the public (by sales) and the media all agree that the note is the best phone on the market. Keep living in denial boys while we enjoy the next big thing ;). Btw was watching the avengers and texting my gf while posting this, all on my note 2 at the same time.

Peace out lol!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
No. You said polls show stock>tw>sense. I gave you a poll that showed that none of that is true. Than you gave me a link to a review, which is not a poll. One review means nothing, I could link you to 10 that say the DNA is better than the n2. Polls with thousands of votes, on the other hand, do mean something.

Please, leave, no one wanted you here in the first place.
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
I recognize that the note 2 has better battery life than the DNA but for me it was unnecessary.

I think the screen on the note 2 looks cartoony compared to the DNA and I much prefer the smaller size.

I'm entitled to my opinion it has nothing to do with "living in denial".
[HTC Droid DNA] 996:
Everyone just needs to calm down lol. I don't know what to do. Memory space is a big thing for me. I don't have a 32GB micro SD for no reason. I don't think I will end up buying this phone. The resolution is amazing. I like sense, but it kills battery life. I bought my GS3 in order to flash pure AOSP on it, and I did. And it ran like a charm. I don't like TW. I am a big fan of HTC, but damn, hard to say this...my hopes just keep getting crushed by Samsung's performance. As far as the Note II. Not a fan at all. A massive display with the same resolution of an old Rezound. GTFO! I guess I just have to wait for the GS4 or something. ugh. I also have Google Music. It is amazing, but I need more storage!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you absolutely need more than 16 gigs than the DNA is not for you. But in every other area it is an amazing phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] vdChild:
Makes sense . I always had at least a 32gb sd card in my phones as I have a huge music collection that I like to keep a lot on me. But I found I don't watch movies on my phone and otherwise don't really need that much space after keeping my music in the cloud. So it really comes down to users needs there. But good luck on the hunt for a phone that suits your needs. :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
This pretty much sums it up. I wish all of this battery nonsense would go away tho. Of course the Note 2 has better battery life, it has a much bigger battery... That doesn't mean that the DNA has bad battery life since the sizes are quite different. I generally have 2 to 3 hours screen on time and 40 or so % left when I goto sleep. Not sure how this is known as "bad". Moral of the story is choose the best phone based on your personal needs/wants and go from there.

I think the Verizon logo on his Note 2 has finally gotten to him.
[HTC Droid DNA] huskers15:
I have had the sgs3 and galaxy nexus. All I can say is my droid DNA has better battery life and antenna.

I would get a ton of signal drops on the nexus and galaxy 3.

Husker_DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
Yep, I had the SGS3 and the antenna is WAY better on the DNA (as it was on the Rezound as well). Fewer dropped calls, faster GPS signal lock, fewer drops from 4G to 3G. I think Samsung just has weaker radios.
[HTC Droid DNA] iOSh8er:
Let me clarify...

I had a VZW S3 on VZW's LTE network and was comparing it to my VZW DNA on VZW's LTE network.

Both at all times had some type of custom kernel, which from what I hear dramatically improves the results you get on the DNA.

Please don't touch my "Thanks" button, it doesn't like you... ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I had a Samsung continuum before my dna and I hated it. It's still on 2.2.2 with a gingerbread leak which isn't very good. After owning that for two years I made a decision to never ever get another Samsung phone so I got my dna and I love it, I'm not a heavy user on my phone so battery is not an issue for me. Overall it's speedy and it responds fast.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjerry123:
Smoothest Rom recently got a new update with a better new kernel. However; if you are familiar with it Smoothest Rom, you should know that smoothest rom gives you the option of choosing your own kernel. So If I were to update Smoothest Rom with a new kernel, would I have to factory reset before flashing? Or what would I have to do?

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
TL;DR No need to factory reset. YMMV, so take a complete Nandroid backup before you begin. You won't be sorry for doing that.

The most compatible kernels are distributed as just the kernel zImage file, and rely on the installer to pick apart the existing boot image (kernel+ramdisk), and then re-assemble it back into a boot image (new_kernel+old_ramdisk) for flashing. Almost nothing changes - except perhaps features available in the kernel.

For better or for worse though, some kernels are distributed as both a kernel and a new ramdisk - a complete boot image. This is done because the dev wants to alter the userspace activity taking place in the early phase of booting; things like setting default values by writing tweak parameters into the /sys filesystem, or perhaps setting a property (e.g. in /default.prop), or plumbing a new device node into the /dev tree, launching oneshot services, or making sure that the init process launches scripts in /system/etc/init.d as the very last thing it does.

That means that any dependency that a given ROM (files in /system) has on activities taking place as a result of dev customizations placed into the ramdisk are at risk of being snuffed out when you flash a full boot image for a "different kernel".

Moral of the story? Take a backup. If stuff goes to ell in a handbasket, you can go back to where you were.

Hi Guys I know this is a noob question and must be asked like million times but i did searched around and looked for an answer but no success.

I have non rooted HOXL with 1.85 firmware and want to root and unlock bootloader but cant figure out how as far as i know the hasoon kit is made for 2.20 firmware and other method wont work and I cant update my official firmware because i m not in USA.

If the hasoon kit will work for me then how do i do it should i do anything else before and do i have to run xfactor exploit please help me out

Thanks in Advance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
There's a thread for rooting 1.85 specifically. Though, I believe xfactor works with 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Niterider123:
I know there is and there is even an one click root method but its invalid now it dont work and i dont want to experiment with my device so please tell me what to do should change my CID through xfactor exploit or just skip it or if i skip it will the root work?

One more thing I cant get myself register at HTCdev I think their server is down I have been trying for two days now I dont know what to do now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
My advice to you would be not to root. Htcdev is down, nothing you can do until it comes back up.

You would need to use xfactor because htcdev will not give you an unlock code otherwise.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
You could force the update to 2.20 if you wanted. But 1.85 is easier to root, why are 1.85 root exploits "invalid" they worked for many many users before you?

You need root so you can change your cid because htcdev will not give you an unlock token while it is seem as a AT&T phone.

Thanks for the reply I did tried designgears one click root method but it doesn't work I think I m going to give hasoon tool a try and see if it roots my device but now HTCdev wont let me register Is there a way to bypass htcdev registration?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Niterider123:
I read the force update of OTA section but it requires root to do that which I m trying to get so i think that wont work for me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Nope. They provide the unlock code

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Niterider123:
Ok I just registered myself on HTCdev but my CID wont change the cmd prompt say failed and then booting into bootloader I have tried like four times now is it because I m on 1.85 firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
Are you following the guides on how to change your cid?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Niterider123:
Yes I read the thread of hasoon where a guy had the same problem and hasoon replied that it will only work on 2.2 so I m pretty sure that my CID wont change being that I m on 1.85.

I have tried 1.85 one click root method but that wont work too Is there any other way to do that please someone help me out I am starting to hate this device I was going to get Gnex but decided to buy HOXL instead and now I cant get the god dam root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
I don't see the big deal. Update to 2.2 use hasoon's then downgrade hboot using Linux. If you cNt get 1.85 root method to work and you can't figure this out maybe root isn't for you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
@NightRider if your on att? Don't ota! Jet hasn't been proven to work all the time. If you need any assistance? Send me a pm and I'll be happy to try and help. I've rooted several 1.85 manually without magical unicorn one click methods.

[HTC Incredible S] blazerphoenix:
Now I just bought an Incredible S and I want to root it and install a custom ROM but it seems as though HTC seems to hate devs and there are tons of crap blocking it so I was wondering how exactly do I root it?
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
There are multiple guides on XDA. I made one myself :D its in my sig :D

Compared to other phones, this phone is actually quite the headache to root and achieve S-OFF
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
please give us more info. hboot version? ics or gb? s on or off?

I have no idea what is the hboot version. But it's stock ics and s on

Wait sorry I forgot how do you check the hboot version
[HTC Incredible S] blazerphoenix:
And this was upgraded to ics, it was originally gb
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Power off the phone and then hold the Volume Down key while pressing the Power button. This will boot you into the bootloader screen which lists the HBOOT version, the lock status and the radio version.
[HTC Incredible S] srv.abhishek:
here is the link to the guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337105

it's a very useful link with quite details...
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
This is a very reliable guide. I used it first before achieving S-OFF. I would recommend S-OFF over just root though. Allows you to flash kernels, radios, splash screen, anything.
[HTC Incredible S] zulmajdi:
S-off -> root -> custom rom
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
errr... root and s-off are entirely different things. I looked at this thread in phandroid forums, and according to it, root just gives you superuser permissions. It gives you the ability to flash things to your phone, custom ROMs. However, when you root your phone, the Radio NVRAM section of the phone prevents you from completely overwriting system partition or at least from changing it. With S-OFF, you flash a custom HBOOT which gives you the ability to overwrite this system partition or in other words, literally do whatever you want to your phone.
[HTC Incredible S] zulmajdi:
I know. Not all of the custom rom require s-off. I suggest to him to s-off -> root -> the install custom rom. Forgot to put i suggest :D

[General Questions and Answers] diesteldorf:
Posting this here in the hopes that someone with more expertise and experience with HTC products will read and respond as I haven't had luck with Google and have only had Motorola and Samsung phones myself.

Very short background:

My friend has an HTC Sensation through TMobile that has been having glitches and random reboots after receiving carrier updates. I told him it wasn't hardware related and could be fixed.

I see 3 options:

1. Backup all data to SD Card/Computer and do a full factory data reset. Hope everything is fixed.

2. Root phone, unlock bootloader, and find a good custom rom to install

3. Backup all data and reflash to an earlier/original HTC Rom

With #2, the phone is out of warranty anyway and I am guessing development for this device has peaked so any custom roms out there are probable pretty stable.

With #3, They aren't very techie and don't care if the phone is rooted or not, but asked me if it was an option.

I know Motorola has RSD Lite, Samsung has Odin, Google has ADB.

Does HTC also have their own proprietary flashing utility that is readily available for download?

Also, how protective is HTC of their phone ROMS/image files and do they still manage to get released anyway--because I would need them to be able to flash.

With Moto it seemed like they would get released involuntarily and then the cease and desist letters would go out and they would be removed.

With my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Google freely distributes them on their website, so I have seen both extremes.

#3 may be the best option for my friend since it will basically restore their phone to the software it had before the update and normally flashing a phone is pretty easy and doesn't require root, though it would be nice to be able to block further carrier updates once the phone is restored.

If it was my own phone, I would probably choose #2 since I appreciate developer enhancements. However, I will always keep the factory image files close at hand so I can easily restore the phone if needed.

Has any HTC ROM or image file been released for the Droid DNA yet? The device is carrier unlocked and developer support seems to be strong, but do you guys have an easy way to get back to 100% stock if you need to?
