sorry if this has been answered before but i cant seem to find any concrete info.

if i buy an unlocked HTC one meant for say sprint, will i be able to get it to work on Verizon's network? it supports the same 2g and 3g frequencies, its just the LTE frequencies that have me held up. the sprint band is 1900mhz while Verizon is 700mhz BUT the one does support the 700mhz band. technically (if I'm thinking about this right) i just need to phone's ID code and a Verizon LTE sim card.

I'm just looking to see if its possible or not hardware wise, everything else i can work out, I've got a good sales rep so he can activate it for me etc....

thanks

If the phone supports that carrier's frequencies, then yes, it will work.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Don't think so. It has to support the correct bands as well. Never heard of unlocked android phone from sprint working on verizon
[One (M7) General] emepror:
only reason i say sprint is because that's the only other CDMA network the HTC one is offered on (i think)

where would i be able to find out what bands the one operates on? Ive only found frequencies and one or two small references to bands so far. i just wish i could get a solid, concrete answer on whether i can do this.
[One (M7) General] sgt. slaughter:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Answer is NO.... Sprint variant that passed through fcc does not support VZ LTE bands... Will be the case for most devices as its impossible to support all bands fully without making the device thicker as you need the extra hardware antennas and such to support every band...
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
The initial version had problems but that's not what HTC is implementing - we are getting 4.2.2 and android implementation are very device specific.

I can say that i never had problems with either 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 myself on my Nexus 7
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
makes no sense though, the leaked 2.17 had no issues like this
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Yeah, no idea why too. The 2.2x firmware is causing a lot of grief on Taiwanese forums.
[One (M7) General] HTInOxM8:
Have they tried a hard reset ? Afaik we had some similar problems after the One X Jellybean update which was solved with a simple hard reset .
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
true this might answer it, most of us simply wipe and flash the leaked ROM but those who received the stock taiwan update are updating over their old data
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Not too sure if anyone's done a factory reset after the OTA, but there's currently 185 pages discussing the OTA, and 14 paged discussing the bugs the OTA introduced.

just one OT

this is very insightful read on how sony is going to make better use of PC tech on the PS4

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191007/inside_the_playstation_4_with_mark_.php?page=2

there is a very big reason for the 50% more cores on the PS4 and those who thought it will be capped by the CPU think again, Sony rethought the way memory is accessed by the GPU, the final goal of this approach is to rely on the GPU for both graphics and compute in the same time

in otherwords just wait till developers grasp GPU+Compute+MemoryPool secret weapon of the PS4, in KZ4 development document guerrilla games admitted they still didn't explore the GPU compute powers of the PS4

back on topic please, those who care about this stuff should find the link useful ;)
[One (M7) General] HTInOxM8:
What :eek:
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
So I assumed well:p

they are both on 4.2.2 = same drivers, it's that s4 is higher clocked @ cpu / gpu

Well I don't think HTC gonna make any new device for global market for at least 2 more months, anyway honami spec wise is a over kill, but there are few things I still doubt in honami:

Software optimisation probably gonna suck, look at xz it's full of bugs/stutters since day one, with 4.2.2 same thing, camera still doesn't really have working hdr and battery sux.

Another thing is the development SUX big time on xz and I doubt honami it's gonna be any better. Currently HTC one has the most and the best development among flagship devices.

And lastly Sony is kinda making the mess with so many devices being released.

Anyway I like the spec sheet of honami but development and sense keeping me away from it.

UNVEILED: Internal O2 Germany documents show HTC One Mini & HTC One Max as well as Nokia Eros & Nokia Mars

Anyway looks like HTC will for once not release a mid life refresh to their flagship, otherwise we should have at least some leaks by now, besides when their device is so well praised and regarded i don't think they have a reason to refresh it

You're probably right. The initial 4.2 that launched with the nexus 4 had bad battery drain, users from the galaxy nexus who updated to 4.2 from 4.1 reported many bugs and bad battery. Also Xperia Z users are reporting some bugs and worse battery life since the 4.2 update.

[One (M7) General] jolorbz:
When you mentioned that. I went at looked at Sony development and it sux big time. And that is what has made me appreciate HTC was the ease to hack and development, but the whole point here is that we like updates...we like freedom...we like unlocked. They need to give us more release and stop holding back. Who won't agree with that.? ;)
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Well I'm all custom lol.

Yeah updates would be great, but there's a negative thing as well, each time there's an update devs need time to update their roms mods etc compatible with the base, so for me having stock 4.2.2 is worse then having custom 4.1.1 :P anyway I'm not that disappointed regarding the wait for 4.22 we've got working leaks literally a month ago and its not that long since one has been released, hox took way to much time to get updates and it came out with sh1ttiest 4.0.3 period so we were desperate, while one came out literally bug free and so fast it's even faster then n4, trust me tested it. So yes I'm happy this year with HTC much more then last year, especially cuz it took HTC and nvidia 1 year to tame and optimise t3 hox, and with one I got very best optimised device due date ever, I had many devices and not single one was so optimised out of the box as one, we should appreciate this! Think about it, did any of you ever had so optimised device out of box before one?

Edit:

Interesting you mention the stutter.. I didn't have the issue on stock but noticed as soon as I flashed elemental x.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
So today I saw an FA359 unit being unboxed and I'm sad to report QA is still questionable

It wasn't a disaster in anyway but the finishing was suspect, with visible micro misalignemnets even the inside of HTC logo, the worst was the mic hole on the back it was a total mess

Oh and it had the visible glue grain in the screen as well

By the way my friends at HTC solutions (non official service center) are telling me they figured a way to open it without discarding the unibody shell

The first attempt destroyed,the casing and they had to replace it (i saw it had a very good fit) but then they studied the broken body and figured out a way to open it with minimal damage, from what I understood there are specific key points to detach the frontal frame, also the speaker covers should not be removed as they are part of the frontal chassis

Ill share if I get more info

I thought you were impressed with the haswell GPU's and I'm sure Intel uses powervr graphics for their socs don't they?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
haswell is a windows 8 pro part and their first gpu to ever impress

powerVR especially the modest varieties used by Intel so far has been piss poor, also the entire power VR 5xx series is now outdated, so until we see rogue you guys should stop being impressed by the word power VR, adreno 3xx destroys it
[One (M7) General] aliHTCDHD:
Yeah I guess people are impressed by powervr due to the ipad 4 gpu and the 6 series rogue. I haven't experienced adreno 3xx but it must be good I wonder what the adreno 420 is like hopefully next year we will just get one flagship Soc from Qualcomm instead of something like snapdragon 600 in q1 and snapdragon 800 in q3 I know Qualcomm are normally releasing two high end socs a year but one is better for the consumer although two high end socs is better for qualcomms release strategy so they can stay ahead of the like of apple.

This is nice, ppl on xz forum are successfully ocing gpu at 533mhz and cpu @ 1.99 , so I assume we should be able to do around 550/600mhz gpu and around 2.2 /2.3 mhz cpu, why are we still having only 450 mhz gpu oc while s4 comes default with this :banghead:
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
It's a different SoC, but yes it's likely higher speeds will come with time.

M.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
no for qualcomm they are the current kings of SOC and you can't expect them to release one per year, they did announce them both together though it's not like they fooled people about the s600 being the top end

as for the iPad4 GPU, the problem is perception here, yes it does awesome in benchmarks but in actual games its not this awesome, especially full retina games it drops frames to the ground whenever there are transparencies around, they eventually had to disable retina from MC4 for the iPad to quarter of the native res in order for the game to run smoothly, same can be said about Asphalt 7 which is still retina but plays like sh$t in later levels, meanwhile so many games are still without retina support including NFSMW

on the other hands Adreno 320 @ the basic 400mhz is eating 1080p for breakfast once you disable the stupid GPU throttling some OEMs choose to include by default
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes i agree but we have a problem, we need to find ways to lower temps, GPU450 = evident heat at the screen surface which im sure will increase with higher clocks, 500mhz+ was achieved by Faux on the N4 but at the cost of aggressive GPU throttling

for a while now i revereted back to 400mhz for the sake of less screen heat, besides what's the pointing of OCing the GPU when 99% of my games are running like butter at stock clocks :laugh:

HTC has a habit of going with the safest GPU speed like we saw on the One X, and in case you haven't noticed its only with the HTC One that they ever gave a damn about mobile gaming but they managed to do that by optimizing rather than aggressive clocks which is very respectful

finally where is the fun if we did not have extra room to OC from stock clocks ;)

Yeah Qualcomm are doing really well the biggest reason being they make custom socs if they produced a15's they would have been an epic fail like octa and tegra 4. I can remember once I wrote a comment on how the Soc race is between Qualcomm and apple only. Until nvidia and exynos make their own custom socs which will never happen the race will always be between Qualcomm and apple. Next year Qualcomm will be releasing even better Socs with a improved cpu while those who use arm chips will be stuck with a15 and until 2015 and all they can do is clock it higher, make it 22nm and improve the gpu. Qualcomm have always acted like they know what they are doing they really are the king of the Soc.

Hello guys, i think my One's camera is faulty.. Can you guys help me figure this out? My previous One X takes much sharper and better looking pics than the One, even in low light, this was the best result i could get from the One at night, yes i tapped the screen many times and it would look clear when focusing but after focusing it was blurry again.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/iejm6cwymzf7szp/2013-07-03 23.07.27.jpg

Also, is this the average amount of detail on daylight?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mizxqmgn2hzxab9/2013-07-02 17.39.53.jpg

Thanks to advance to anyone who can help me, it seems like just a software issue or a bad autofocus?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
by default in low light the shutter slow down, in extreme low light like this you need to hold still and take few shots to make sure you grab a clean one

otherwise you can reduce exposure to speeed up the camera in low light or use ZOE mode but you loose the low light power

as for daylight, perfectly normal, your camera is fine, if you look at this photo on your pc its almost three dimensional thanks to the details in blacks, this perfectly focused photo proves nothing is wrong with your hardware

also remember its 4megapixels vs 8megapixels on your One X

this is has been discussed till death so far

Xz was the hottest phone, fir example xz gets quite warm just by using max brightness combined with browsing easily reaches 40/42c while my hox is licked onto 36c n4 38c, gaming xz gets hot and throttles after 7/10 mins in nfs with 44c but throttling like hell, my hox never throttles but after around 30 mins of gameplay reaches tops 45c, nexus lasted the most thx to throttling, but throttling came much later to nexus then xz.

OT time:

looking past my ps3 life (currently playing the last few games, cyrsis 3, crysis remake and the last of us)

the only thing which we can admit after all these years that the ps3 architecture was weaker than the x360

unified RAM and unified GPU + EDRAM vs non unified PS3, it was only the superior CPU which saved it and hence done better than the x360 in first party games

this is why tons of multiplatform games including the crysis remake always performed worse on the ps3

this time the situation is flipped, the PS4 and X1 has the same architecture only the PS4 is supercharged, easier to develop due to non EDRAM faster free bandwith, 50% more brute in GPU, GPU compute secret sauce, this is a 100% guarrantee it will perform in multiplaform games a lot better, and first party games will look better, so i really see no reason why would anyone want an X1, exclusives? give me a break their first party games are no where near the catalog from Sony, this leaves Titanfall but its not first party, it's EA, it will come no doubt about it

and cheaper, really perplexing

Going OT as well, the price is only because of the sensor. I agree playstation games will look better but I imagine that only PS4 exclusive games will look any better. The ones that are on both platforms, CoD, fifa, battlefield will probably look identical. I doubt those companies will end up putting extra time into the PS4 version to make it look better when they can have it look alright on both. A sale is a sale to them no matter the device.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
they might look identical, but for sure the PS4 will have much superior performance, 50% more GPU cores is not a joke to dismiss

like both digital foundry and anandtech confirmed already, you don't need magic or effort to extract that extra performance, it's pure brute 50% extra raw power (just like upgrading a GPU), if anything its the X1 which is harder to extract from since you need to use the Edram cleverly in order to match the PS4 massive bandwith

if you played tough games like Crysis on your console or any other multiplaftorm FPS release, hovering at the edge of 25fps, you will realize every extra frame counts, especially with consoles that have to last years

sometimes after im done with my PS3 first party games, playing the struggling multiplatform ones made me wish i had an x360

it is what it is, you can convince yourself with many other legit reasons like the X1 media abilities but saying "same games will look and run the same " is wishful thinking and dismissive, i am sorry but your answer is not a real reason

and its only 50$ due to the sensor, this leave another 50$

Contributing a bit to the PS3 off topic have you noticed low frame rate on games on 1080p? I had to lower my Slim PS3 to 720p because many games where lagging, like GTA IV, Saints Row 2, even Fifa lagged. But surprisingly Gran Turismo which is one of the games which stresses the PS3 more runs buttery smooth at 1080p.
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
Thanks mate worked like a charm!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
unless 1080p is stated as main on the box, developers aim at 720p for the PS3, otherwise they get scaled to 1080p and might cause both blur to the image and slight fps loss

you can not use GT as a reference, every game is made and customized different based on its needs, effects and graphics load for example

truth is current consoles are barely keeping up with 720p in the latest multiplatform titles, the rare ones supporting 1080p are stated on the box

[One (M7) General] vcrp94:
I think Gran Turismo is a rare one, it seems the new iteration coming out later this year will push the PS3 to its limit according to Kazunori.

Interesting fact he mentioned on an interview..

"“When the [PlayStation 2] came out, one unique characteristic of that system was that the screen fill rate was very fast. Even looking back now, it’s very fast. In some cases, it’s faster than the PS3. There, we were able to use a lot of textures. It was able to do that read-modify-write, where it reads the screen, you take the screenshot, and you modify it and send it back. It could do that very quickly.

“I don’t know if anybody remembers, but when the PS2 first came out, the first thing I did on that was a demo for the announcement. I showed a demo of GT3 that showed the Seattle course at sunset with the heat rising off the ground and shimmering. You can’t re-create that heat haze effect on the PS3 because the read-modify-write just isn’t as fast as when we were using the PS2. There are things like that. Another reason is because of the transition to full HD.”"

“The PS3 was a combination of a poor GPU with an SPU that’s really fast if you use it right. It’s not a very well-balanced machine. It’s hard to use the hardware properly. That’s one reason why it took us five years to develop GT5. Using the SPU properly, though, that in itself is really interesting. On the PS3, in the demo, we showed the adaptive tessellation. That’s the kind of technology that you normally wouldn’t be able to do unless you were on the PS4-generation of machines. When you optimize the use of the SPU properly, you can do that even on the PS3.

“That leads into how we work on the PS4. The PS4 isn’t as off-balance as the PS3 was. If you look at the market right now, Gran Turismo is one of the only games on the PS3 that does 1080p at 60 frames per second. It was really difficult to achieve that. On the PS4, the lowest common denominator is going to be boosted. Most games will be able to do 1080p at 60 frames per second. That’s the real good part about the PS4.

[MENTION=4263577]vcrp94[/MENTION] awesome find mate, really made my day, those comments about the PS2, its actually true the PS2 had a crazy weird EDRAM based GPU with some insane strengths and absurd weaknesses as well, the internal GPU bandwith was unheard of but it could fail in some very basic things like AA

come to think of it! if they discovered post AA like MLAA back then it might have done great on the PS2 :)

also if you remember GT4 had a 1080i output on the PS2

such a top dev reminding us clearly of the weak GPU on the PS3, funny when it's this sucky design that nvidia milked the most even re-used it in Tegra 3

god i hate the NV47/G70...if you remember the Geforce 7900 was barely able to run crysis despite releasing after the game!
