Nah I don't agree, crysis 3 should have never been released on current consoles

I got the game yesterday and its really running barely, this is not how I want to say good bye to my ps3

Tomorrow ill go exchange it, I wanted to keep the Last of Us till the very last, so ill either get metro or break and get the last of us

As for crysis 3 I was wishing they release it for the ps4 but no sign of that, so I might have to play it on my work's PC with geforce Titan, after hours of course ;)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Well if u t bothered with specs you should get ps4 blindly, its at least 1.7x faster than the X1 thanks to 50% faster GPU and massive memory bandwidth

As for the GPU it might not be as brute as the 670 but it has much better compute performance (which the Titan fixed) so I'm pretty sure first party devs will milk out those extra GPU cores for compute tasks, in other words just like the ps3 first party games will end up looking better than its rival
[One (M7) General] aliHTCDHD:
I said crysis 3 is more playable even though it's not optimised properly than any pc that has 7 year old hardware. I am only saying it's barely playable because that's what you have told me I don't have crysis 3 just Bf3 on ps3 which I've had for the past 18 months.
[One (M7) General] Rage1ofakind:
Crysis 3 and The Last of Us are probably two of the best PS3 games released graphically. They've both taken the PS3 to its bare bones.

One bad thing is though, if you've played The last of us you'll see how bad the loading times are. Ridiculously long, probably because they optimised the other parts to a point where the PS3 needs to process too many things at once
[One (M7) General] Trekest:
Though once it loads there are no loading screens anywhere. Returning from death is also rather fast.
[One (M7) General] aliHTCDHD:
Real racing 3 repair time for oil and other things is ridiculous I hve to wait 2 1/2 hours before I can race again that's pathetic.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Crysis 3 image quality sucks, blurry, jagged and still very bad fps, this a very unimpressive combination also tons of graphics glitches, first person shooters with bad fps are never fun, heck I just finished MC4 on my One and it was a lot more fun thanks to the buttery smoothness, crysis 3 on current consoles is a bad port a mere shadow of the original game

As for The Last of Us, the image quality is pristine and stable frame rate, you can't compare the two, worlds apart
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Back to our topic

I'm starting to loose patience, where is the damned 4.2.2 OTA!!! I don't get what's taking so long, we still have to wait for the kernel source after that
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I think a lot of people have the exact same sentiments as you and it's made worse by the fact that all the rumours and 'sources' said friday by the latest and it's still nowhere to be seen and it makes me wonder what exactly is the hold up in releasing it.

Just checked the tweets between hawk and football and looks like it's gone very quiet since the 14th and no further information is available.
[One (M7) General] Trekest:
My guess would be the S-Off being released, maybe they stopped the update to figure a way to close it.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I am not so sure because us xda'ers who know and use s-off are a very very small percentage when compared to the volume of sales which the HTC One has generated so although I won't rule out the s-off which has contributed towards the delay I think the chances are very slim that this is the case.
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
Its the IR Blaster..and am sure about it
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Whats wrong with the IR blaster?
[One (M7) General] Pointlol:
Yeah lol, the Xbox never even crossed my mind, it ****ed up way too much in basically everything it could AND is more expensive lol. No idea what MS is thinking.
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
I think its not working in the leak version

Tbalden has some problems at decoding videos

I know the source needs to be updated but those two reasons
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
Ir works fine in the new base, it's just that the kernels adapted to 4.2.2 are having issues due to lack if source.

Pocketnow: HTC One vs Nokia 925.

Move over, Ultrapixel. Pureview is coming your way.

Summary: The One shines on everything, but the camera of the 925 is a miles above, even at low light.

There are a lot more features on the One's shooter, but it just can't match the quality of the 925.

They'll have a full camera-specialized comparison with more handsets coming soon.

[YOUTUBE]rH_vPz6hcW0[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
There are four shooting modes for low light on the HTC one

By default it uses slower shutter and good low light, night mode slows the shutter a little more for less noise, HDR combine two exposures quickly for amazing low light results, finally if u snap a low light shot with Zoe enabled the shutter is super fast and the lowlight performance is much reduced so be careful

So the problem most reviewers are not experimenting with the One camera

For me whenever I want to snap a shot in the dark, I steady my hand and use HDR, the results are almost always amazing

Follow up

Samsung analysts ask hard questions as S4 marketing charm wears off

Btw now that we are starting to see some 8974 @ 2.3GHz benchmarks that are supposed to come in smartphone sized chassis, what can we expect from heating, throttling, leakage, power consumption etc, since it's still on 28nm and it's HPM?

Any thoughts on this?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
It will probably act like at 2ghz s600 throttling sooner than later, CPU clocks at this point means nothing

in fact i think we can accuse them of false advertising
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
HTC still didn't gave us a fix for crazy focus in low light,dunno how much it's an advantage to have good lights in low lights situations if the focus is good once over 10.

Also I wonder if the camera has a stabilization,even my old HOX was better with ''shivering hands''.

Unless some builds have poorer lens units than others...
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
i think its time for you to get an iPhone :laugh:

the camera running beautifully for me
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
As Steve Wozniak said, as long as iphones are not open to roms I will never get one :p

IOS 7 is the same os as ios 1 but with flatter icons,what a revolution huh?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
no the iOS 7 is a great needed change, bad news though, the iPhone chips even worse than the One ;)

i think you are better off with plastic phones :laugh:
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
I just need a good cover that's all for now, the good days when we didn't need covers are finished :crying:

Even S4 ''metal'' ring is chipping very easily.

Sometimes I wonder if phones brands are not doing this on purpose to let us buy covers :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Dunno if this is sad news anyway HTC One uses Samsung's sd card :eek::p

Seen that Info via eng hboot.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
mate aluminum is known to chip, even the ultra durable Desire HD, used to survive an aircraft crash but this doesnt mean the paint will not chip! or the metal will not dent! where have you been lol? all metal phones chip this is normal

but they are a lot more durable than plastic, yes the One X had transparent dents due to it's non painted polycarbonate shell, but the body used to bend under a heavy hit and cause a damage to the motherboard

so yes the main advantage about metal is that they are very "rigid" and survive physical abuse, but in terms of look and finish they are pretty fragile

did you ever see a used non covered iPad? its like an ice skating ring
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
You mean like the ipod touch 2g's back? ;)

I used car polish to reduce the hundreds of scratches it had
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
Looked at my H1 screen this morning and noticed a very small micro-scratch :(

I bought some microfibre cloths, want to see if I can buff it out.
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
Samsung produce a lot of components... Not that surprising really. It would be silly of HTC to ignore them as a potential supplier, though it would be equally silly to reply on them 100%

[One (M7) General] Galactus:
Yeah, it is actually annoying how many low light photos are out of focus
[One (M7) General] DeSaint2:
Oh great ot incoming, along with another gs4 variant.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/17/...ic_Full&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget

Oh btw got a flawless ht34 unit black and a flawless for my wife in silver
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
you can switch to ZOE mode which will enable full speed shutter and the focus will enhance

also the focus in normal/night/hdr modes is slow but it does snap, once its done focusing it will take a good shot

i post some few shots i took yesterday in night darkness using the three different modes
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the issue really annoying with the One screen is actually something no body probably notices :)

its the density of the lamination glue or "cure", leaving a sort of visible grain in white areas

my third units has this grain more visible than my older units, everything else is flawless but it makes me regret getting rid of my branded unit now that we have SOFF, the first unit had an incredible bright and gorgeous screen

all the variances in color balance and brightness is totally due to the difference in lamination glue yields but most units i've inspected had this grain

the best one was my first unit, it was eye popping

i don't get HTC, we suffer all this cost (performance, battery, price) for the super dense 1080p screen, they should have found a better lamination adhesive to preserve the mind blowing definition

my previous One X and iOS devices have better lamination transparency
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
I have the white stuff on the bottom right of the screen..under low brightness...

That's something annoying which I found

[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I just couldn't live with my HTC One's camera in low light :( If HTC doesn't fix this(software wise) or if this is a hardware issue I'm gonna get that Sony Honami and send this unit back for replacement for reselling :(

TBH I envy you guys...
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Yea I saw it once you pointed it out to me. My iPhone doesn't have it.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yea i posted it since there is no point in exchanging them

90% of them are like this regardless of the build date, its just the quality of the chosen adhesive i guess

[One (M7) General] omersak:
Yes! Finally someone else (and someone important) noticed!

I was thinking I was losing my mind because this never got mentioned anywhere. I have the exact same things in the whites and it was huge eyesore for me because I hate imperfections in the whites of screens. It's the worst with gray on white text because it looks fuzzy.

I was bothered by it for around 2 months after I got mine but now I'm used to it and don't really care. Since I had the Xperia Z before the HTC One, I would always test it's insane PPI by looking at things on screen really close up and I'd marvel and the smoothness and sharpness of the image and text. I'd say the Xperiz Z screen looks more like a 1080p screen than the HTC One does because there was no visible grain and everything was mind blowingly sharp and smooth. The HTC One obviously has a better screen overall everything else.

I'm not really bothered now because it's obviously a vastly superior phone across all things but the grainy whites were such an eye-sore among the clean and sharp high resolution lines. Mind, it's probably not an issue at all for 99% of everyone - but i certainly noticed it.
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
I tried to find out that on my device, but I can't. Everything is perfect. Am I lucky or I failed to see that?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yea it's a shame, few facts:

the severity varies between devices but the grain is always there, from all the Ones i have seen only my first had the clearest screen and least tinted white, so whites tint and grains are one thing and that is the glue "cure" quality, punishing myself for letting the first one go

the iPhone / iPad does have it but its not nearly as visible, in fact most laminated screens actually including the One X, usually its only visible at angles or when observed on moving graphics

the only possible explanation is that HTC went with very tough adhesive after the screen "popout" issues we had during the One X launch

here is a shot i took when i unboxed my One X, it was only visible at angles same on my iPad, sadly on my One you can actually see the grain from any angle
[One (M7) General] omersak:
True, I have noticed it on some non-amoled screens - the worst i've seen was the Lumia 920, the amount of graininess on the unit i saw was actually a deal breaker for me. It's also quite noticeable on the One that I have and I thought I got defect that wasn't glued properly.

Is it possible for the adhesive to 'settle-in' after a while? I was really VERY disturbed by the grains at first but, looking at it now, I swear they seem to have become slightly less noticeble now, when viewed close up. The grains actually shimmer/shine a bit as I look at them and tilt the the device from side to side.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
i used to think the same during the One X, ie: that it settles

but nothing on my One which is been up and running since mid April, i also left it on at night with a blue screen and nothing changed , the shimmer you mention is also true, like i said im pretty sure they went with a stronger adhesive especially since the screen can heat

here is an example for this type of adhesives, check how it's advertised, it shows the relation between the adhesive and image clarity/colors

[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Can you supply a source for this that actually includes the word "HDR"? It was rather striking that, right after the court judgement came out, HTC removed "HDR microphones" from the list of the One's features/specs on their website. Of course they're going to say that the replacement mics are good - it would be commercial suicide to say anything else. But they've as good as admitted that the new mics will not be "HDR" - if they were going to be, they'd be trumpeting the fact.
[One (M7) General] DeSaint2:
is the 1.44 hboot the latest one or is there a newer one for the 4.2.2?

Edit: looks like 1.54 is the latest but is it really needed to flash 4.2.2? I have an AT&T variant and can get supercid since i have s-off but to flash latest hboot i would need a locked bootloader, correct? Never updated hboot on my inspire lol. The one thing I'm a total noob on is hboots =P

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Go to a white area like the settings menu, have a close at the whites, you should see grain as if u have a screen protector

More visible if u move the menu up and down

Otherwise it's very visible if u check a full green color, use display tester
[One (M7) General] hamdir:

Anyone noticed that the two posts at HTC Blog related to the microphones were recently deleted?? One was titled something like "HTC ONE distortion free recording" and explained the microphone's tech; the other one was something like "BoomSound in action" and displayed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaL87kEqZ4Y

the .17 is a clue but not definite confirmation, the key is that new mics drivers were listed in the .17 changelog

units with .17 out of box are more likely to have the new mics, units with lesser firmware out of box will have the HDR mics

or maybe just a bump to s800
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
as far as im concerned i will need something bigger than s800 to seduce me, plus there are really no current games that needs anything beyond Adreno 320

not to mention the throttling mess

HTC went with an under clock for their s600 instead of 1.9ghz they went with 1.7ghz, instead of 450mhz GPU they went with 400mhz, they are being subtle on the specs and the device performance beautifully

by the way, GPU 450mhz seems to translate heat to the screen a lot faster than the stock clock this is why i went back to 400mhz for now

so with the current thermals barriers there is really no need for a spec race at this point

Ot.

I got a cinema 4d animation I made.

It's quite simple but it takes 5 hours to render. Is there any way to render it faster without using expensive render farms.

I got an i7 and a nvidia graphic card.

Ot end.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
well its very hard to answer, i use 3d max myself and we have a render farm

on the latest 3d max we have GPU cuda renderers on both iRay and vRay which are dramatically faster than CPU but they have their own shortcoming as well :)

Octane render plugin is nearly realtime on my Titan, but the plugin is still early and not fully featured

what's your graphics card, saying you have nvidia is not information :)
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
Geforce gtx 470.

It's a bit older but should be good enough.

:)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
well it's Fermi, Fermi's 580 was fastest for RT rendering until the Titan brought back the title to the Kepler GPUs (580 is dramatically faster than 670 in compute)

so yea it should be enough

have a look at octane render and iray plugin for cinema 4D , you will be surprised ;)

but how do you put with the heat of your GPU mate, if use it for RT the 4xx series is now to cause a global metldown due to thermal issues :laugh:
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
I will have a look at it. Found iRay already on my own. :)

My pc is still cold enough to run properly so I guess everything is okay for me here :)

I got options to render in cinema.:

Physical

Software

Hardware

Standard

Hardware will just render a preview, not sure how you call it.

attached a screenshot of a rendered frame
