[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
It would be nice to see a simple Radios thread with all/any that are out there. I could be wrong, but I think the problem is that I think there are only two: original and new.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ajj915:
Is there a reason that we cant just flash radios in recovery?
[HTC Droid DNA] hilokilo:
Dead link :(
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
We don't have an external SD card to flash from

Check my Sig
[HTC Droid DNA] kun.aries:
why not? We can use OTG cable and a USB to do that :)

P/s: This radio is compatible with viperDNA and viverine beastmode kernel?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
radios don't depend on roms/kernels
[HTC Droid DNA] rlewis312010:
Been trying to get an answer, posted this on the eng hboot thread also (few days ago). I have eng hboot, can I just flash "radio.zip" and move on? Or must I fastboot it like in this thread's OP. Was also wondering if I could recover as long as I did not mess with the eng hboot. Like if I tried a radio and it was not going to work, or was flashed incorrectly? I came from a Droid Bionic. LOCKED, could not flash this stuff, COULD try roms using "safe strap" which was okay. If somebody would clarify this for me I would appreciate it.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
AFAIK people with external sdcard's are the only ones who can flash zips with radio's and stuff in recovery or bootloader, like if you notice when you boot into bootloader you don't see it checking for files like htc devices with sdcards do
[HTC Droid DNA] rlewis312010:
Thanks. About recovery from bad flash? Anything should be recoverable as long as hboot remains, correct? Or, will a radio flash error cause a hard brick?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
yea, if you have ship hboot everything should be good , i think flashing a bad hboot could cause a brick but im not sure havent had a bad flash (*knock on wood*) but I dont usually mess with that stuff, set once and done kind of thing
[HTC Droid DNA] goinflyn:
When I flashed the radio, only the following radios installed - 0,36,73 and 100. Is that what should have flashed or is it missing other radios?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
all of the radio firmware is contained in the one radio.img file, so if that is what you flashed then you are fine
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MU24R:
Hi im making an android app and it needs root permission well i found this http://code.google.com/p/roottools/wiki/Usage#Running_root_commands

[One (M7) General] XeloOw:
It will be available in March in pre-order !

So will you buy it ?

i'll never buy another htc!!!!!!!
[One (M7) General] panciosky:
HTC was wrong too with the failure to update our sensation of jelly beans
[One (M7) General] Phencyclidine:
no
[One (M7) General] XeloOw:
Nicest phones ever but not the best for updating their devices

[One (M7) General] BurnRubber90:
Ehhh... Nope.

Looks nice, but their crappy support and their lack of updates made me stay away from them.

Buying a Nexus 4 at the moment.
[One (M7) General] LegendaryLengend:
NO!
[One (M7) General] sammy789:
definitely not, nexus 4 is way cheaper and better for rooting
[One (M7) General] wess786:
I have to agree with this. Before I bought this phone I had a Galaxy S2. The Galaxy S2 was amazing but unfortunately due to a hardware issue it got broken. Then I bought HTC because I wanted to try another brand. HTC's quality of the smartphone is great as well as their HTC Sense, but I feel more comfortable with the Galaxy S2.

I also hate the fact you have to S-OFF/Unlock bootloader, flash 4EXT recovery and then flash root. For example on the Galaxy S2 it was way easier. You just downloaded a custom kernel, flashed it and voila, you're rooted and got a custom recovery.

Earlier today I read an article about the HTC One aswell, but on a dutch website. It would cost 699 euros. Are you kidding me? 699 euros for a smartphone? You can buy lots of other great things with that and you can still have a great phone (For example Nexus 4 which is sold in Germany for 395 euros. 699-395 = 304 euros)

I'm saving my money right now for a Nexus 4 and get it. Like I already said HTC's build quality is great. It feels solid, but inside of the phone it could be better.
[One (M7) General] advisoryy:
They made quality devices ( I mean components),but they failed with the updates. So,NO,I`ll never buy another HTC.
[One (M7) General] Firen:
I got my Wildfire and Sensation 1 1/2 years after their start. I never expected a bleeding edge new device and i used custom roms right after getting it. I like the HTC design and also Sense(even i don´t right now).

I would buy it when it´s cheaper and htc would give up thier S-ON and "don´t give updated drivers for old devices" bull****. But the designs of the other manufacturer are not my taste. Maybe another Nexus from HTC, i don´t know.

I may ask, why you need an newer device, or the power them. Call me old but i don´t see the point in playing games on a smartphone.
[One (M7) General] Jedi2011:
HELL YES.

My HTC Sensation has performed flawlessly for the last 18 months, I love how many devs are cooking custom ROMs for it, I've never had a single issue that couldn't be resolved with a ROM reflash.

The HTC One looks amazing, outperforms anything currently available to date, and has a screen to die for.

The only thing that could potentially change my mind is the Samsung Galaxy S4, but unless it massively outperforms the One in every area or comes with an app that gives me oral sex on demand I'll definitely be signing up for a HTC One.
[One (M7) General] lallolu:
It is a powerful and beautiful phone but with HTC's behaviour over updates nowadays, it is a difficult choice. Also, this new camera that is 4mp, I wonder how the picture with be when zoomed. I zoom pictures a lot when I am editing which is why I like the 13mp cameras. It is not just about quality for me but also size after zooming.
[One (M7) General] arabology:
yeah i'm not buying it either. i don't trust hTC neither with software nor hardware anymore. for example, the sensation didn't get jellybean while it's definitely capable. Second, the speaker in it sucks (fact), battery calibration is always wrong, changing the digitizer 90% of the times gives you a faulty screen (even with an OEM part coz i got one and my screen acts CrAzY). Now, with the One X, the Tegra 3 sucked so bad that dropping the phone one time had the screen never to turn again unless you push the back casing exactly where the chip is. 20% of the first two shipments of One X's had that issue, not to forget the lousy cellular+WiFi reception. hTC never replied to the complains and assumed people's money as trash. then came the One X+ that made ALL One X holders so freaking mad...as hTC had officially whop it's 3-months-only so called flagship....

the sensation still is a good device, so i'm not changing it for the time being, but if i would, definitely no hTC for me, thank you. The HD2 ride was a one of a kind that will never repeat itself with hTC.
[One (M7) General] thaiboyger:
I would buy if i had the money

But for now i will continue using sensation xe
[One (M7) General] XeloOw:
I will buy Samsung now

Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation Z710e avec Tapatalk
[One (M7) General] badboy47:
Nope. I moved on to Nexus 4. Sensation was my last HTC product.
[One (M7) General] HAIWABOBO:
absolutely NO。。。

HTC always claimed that this is a ultimate version when one new phone released.

but as a matter of fact,it had never to be a [ultimate]...
[One (M7) General] Sultanxda:
The hell with htc! Knowing them they'll probably release another new "breakthrough" phone within 120 days and completely ignore the One. Plus, since htc cares so much about customer satisfaction, all of their phones now come with S-ON! I was forced into rooting my Sensation because it was dysfunctional to the point where I may as well have had no phone at all. It was slow, out of date, overheated, and rebooted randomly all the time after the ICS update. One time I did a factory reset hoping it would alleviate the random reboots, but about 1 minute after having the phone on after the factory reset my phone rebooted randomly and after it turned on again the battery had gone down from 50% to 4%.

I'll probably wait for the Nexus 5.
[One (M7) General] arabology:
Exactly. And I feel that way about the hTC DROID DNA (butterfly)...like, how long has it been launched? And now the One comes along and makes that device feel like crap in comparison. I don't know where the managers or marketers in that company had graduated from, coz I haven't seen anything worse than such management. They're launching 1GHz single core units in China with JB while they refuse to update a dual core unit. And I hardly, or never see any ads about hTC anywhere in the middle east. There's no innovation in the One, not quietly brilliant at all. Plus the new button layout is confusing, I've seen YouTube videos and the persons handling it keeps pressing over the logo instead of the actual soft keys. Plus, I bet the new aluminum body will lead to connectivity issues, they claim they've found a way, but hTC is known to fail.
[One (M7) General] knightz01:
"Ditto"
[One (M7) General] Sultanxda:
Well, when I was in Beirut I didn't see any ads for any kind of electronics, so I don't think HTC is the only company that lacks advertising in the Middle East :p

HTC should really stop changing the button layout... The Nexus 5 is going to be the best
[One (M7) General] arabology:
No, actually our ads and billboards are all about electronics and diet milk :p the S3 ads where all over once it was launched, now everyone holds an S3 here, and most want to change to the note 2...(people here has nothing better to do)

Any news which brand the nexus 5 will be?
[One (M7) General] Sultanxda:
Nexus 5 might be LG again

And I know what you mean by all the diet milk ads :p
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
Maybe wait for a moment and wait for other companies to announce their flagship phones, then i'll choose. But as of the moment, the One outperforms all phones out there, so YES.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
If I can save up enough dough to buy the handset outright then yeah, I'll keep my HOX too as a back up...

I'ma bit lax to get rid of my HOX atm as it is a brilliant handset for what it can do, the technology in it is fantastic!
[One (M7) General] kkk121:
I never had a problem with my htc. Still love my htc sensation. And will always have an htc phone.
[One (M7) General] letom:
Nope, Never buying HTC again, I got burnt on the HOX.
[One (M7) General] GaardenZwerch:
I have dropped HTC in favor of Sony (XPERIA S) because of HTC's attitude.

Would have gone for Nexus 4 if they had been more easily available at the time. Maybe next time :)

[One (M7) General] radiotrib:
I'm a fanboy .. I got one coming in 2-3 weeks ...
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
I will try one. Didn't like the Nexus 4 and this will be the first new phone to hit this year with good specs.
[One (M7) General] misterthomas32:
hell yeah!

Not even thinking twice! I'm getting thise one (see what I did there ^^) as soon as it gets released!

I love sense and their failure in updating devices is not a problem for me since I'll root my device instantly and get the latest versions right away :eek:
[One (M7) General] waterbound:
The specs are nothing short of incredible but HTC does leave doubt with the last few models. I love my EVO LTE, chose over the SG3 for my own reasons and couldn't be happier. The forums looked exactly the same before the EVO LTE came out where the 'Will you by the new EVO LTE' and everyone indicated they wouldn't but it seems that most of those that commented against, were seen to actually follow through and buy it anyway. I think the same thing here, this will be a huge seller and I hope the real devs jump on board quickly as I assume they will. Just my opinion and not intending to come across rude etc. Thanks for eveyones input !
[One (M7) General] misterthomas32:
Same here, never had problems with htc. I don't love my htc sensation anymore because it's super slow, so I'm getting the HTC One as soon as it get's released :eek:
[One (M7) General] ali_wits:
I would never buy an HTC.... im a samsung lover... will buy the s4
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
Cool, so we have a SHAMESUNG guy here :p
[One (M7) General] CapnDap:
Waiting

I'll wait until July when the most of the important phones of the year have already been announced to decide, but it does look like a good buy.
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
I was thinking about it but I lack faith in their keeping it updated. Plus the new version of Sense isn't very pleasant and nor is the camera all that special.
[One (M7) General] Snook321:
Honestly, it really depends on what the Galaxy S4 has to offer. It won't be hard going back to HTC because all my prevuous phones were HTC phones. The HTC One has really caught my attention.
[One (M7) General] jc719:
Just got the One X, and now they are coming out with another flagship phone...bummer haha
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Latest talk is that it has taken a knockback with the Octa core whatever it is, and will now be coming with the S600 but clocked higher at 1.9Ghz.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Already pre ordered it.
[One (M7) General] saco274:
Wow, seems like there are a lot people not liking this phone. I have an HTC EVO 4GLTE, not the greatest phone in the world but it has never given me a problem other than the crappy network its on (Sprint). I'm not disappointed with HTC jmore than I am with Sprint but that's another forum.

From what I see, I have to give it to HTC. They really do make beautiful phones. I'm really surprised, thought this forum would be raving about the phone instead all I'm reading about is that HTC doesn't give updates quick enough. Well who does other than google itself..?

I'm not an HTC fan boy and I'm actually considering waiting for the xphone but wow am I tempted get this phone. The Ultrapixel camera looks great, the processor is the top notch, it has super speakers that are done right (finally), iR blaster, and that design is beautiful. I'm rooted running CM10.1 and I would love to see how this bad boy performs rooted-s-off. Could we see 2.2 ghz stable, super smooth, no lag UI. What about mods that improve on the camera? Also, I wonder what kind of enhancements could be made to the speakers...wow! That screen is the best one out so far, can it really get that much better? and lastly it's such damn good looking phone! Dag, I think I just convinced myself to get one.

The GS4, I'm sure will be great but how much greater probably not much. Now, If they throw an octacore processor then its not a fair fight. You would have to compare these 2 separately.

So many possibilities.

Anyways, I really want HTC to do well because they really do make the best hardware in the market. HTC your innovation is great, but what good is it if you don't market this bad boy like Samy did the SG3. Do that and I think people will start to recognize and make it a household name, like Samsung and Apple.
[One (M7) General] dmarco:
Yes, I will be retiring my SGS3 and buying the HTC One. No more plastic toy phones for this guy :D

HTC One is a sick looking phone and the specs are VERY impressive to say the least.
[One (M7) General] clarkgable:
Not sure yet, I want to, but I definitely want to see what the S4 looks like and does. It's a shame the One will only ship with 4.1.2. Lord knows when HTC will upgrade that to 4.2, or even Key Lime Pie. That Blinkfeed/Sense 5 skin is pretty special though.
[One (M7) General] xchasa:
They sucked me in with the one x.

Not going to let that happpen again sorry.

Awaiting the Xperia Z to use for next 6 months or so.
[One (M7) General] AudiS2:
Preordered the black htc one and I too was thinking of waiting until S4 release but if this is true http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/23...xynos-inside-new-galaxy-s-iv-with-bootscreen/ then there is no reason not to buy the one. Samsung can't beat the desing IMO.
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
AW: HTC One launched, Will you buy it ?

I am on the way to my locale o2 store to order mine. I really hope HTC is able to rescue themselves. Its my forth HTC device in a row.
[One (M7) General] JOSE89178:
The phone is actually being released on the 15TH in a few countries.
[One (M7) General] Itswagz:
You won't regret buying a nexus 4 xD
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
Two things stopped me getting a Nexus 4 lack of storage & the camera performance, which though no phone camera is that great does seem to underperform. But other than that it's hard to fault at the price.
[One (M7) General] Boyyoka:
Nope, never ever going to buy an HTC again. They make gorgeous phones, but the updates they deliver are so dissapointing. Not only do we have to wait month's for an update, but they also keep removing features that make sense attractive. Like the scrolling wallpaper background, it's not there anymore in the jb update(i know i know, download a homescreen app and problem will be fixed. But i like sense :D).

I think I will go and have a look at the Nokia and Sony phones.
[One (M7) General] Noodles5666:
I pre-ordered mine yesterday from Handtec. Black 32B.
[One (M7) General] ergosteur:
That's a YES for me. Still using a Sensation, really wanted a One X/One S but wasted my money on a Galaxy Nexus instead.

I can't stand this all this plastic crap Samsung pushes out, and TouchWiz is UUGGGLY.

Sense is nice, but still wishing for another HTC Nexus device.
[One (M7) General] joshoon:
I will defintely buy it!

I am not complaining about its support, we can install custom ROM's, so no worries :)

It's a great looking device.

Pre-ordering next week :)
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
Those who are against HTC... Even though HTC sucks at sending updates... But there are innovative in the UI...

Tips to avoid issues in hardware

Wait for a month...so that we could know how the phone performs... Buy the phone after second batch of the phone

Keep calm and wait for snapdragon 800
[One (M7) General] AayushDhuria:
I don't think you'll see Snapdragon 800 before Q3. :) If you're willing to wait that long, your wish, or maybe Moto X phone. But not in S4 for sure.
[One (M7) General] Andrewtst:
Yes and no, will compare after announcement of S IV before decide.
[One (M7) General] XupModz:
I disagree side by side with an s3 pics look more life-like..
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
Interesting. Mind you I thought the camera was one of the weakest parts of the GS3.
[One (M7) General] XupModz:
Really? Everyone praises that thing
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
I never thought it was more than average, the low light performance was especially disappointing. My 920 was much better in this area.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Gizmodo did a camera test. Yes gizmodo. Test weren't perfect but the gs3 is didnt do to well. Nexus 4 too lol. Most of them didn't do well in low light except like the iphone and the lumnia 920
[One (M7) General] kalapa:
I'll be real tempted to get it but I wish it had a bigger display. I came from an original Evo 4G to my Note 2.. and while I loved my Evo, and everything about HTC, I really can't see myself going back to a device less than 5" any more.
[One (M7) General] Zarboz:
i needs one too :D
[One (M7) General] hepterci:
good

very good
[One (M7) General] Demon-BSEU:
I will definitely buy it

I will definitely buy it! At once it appeared in the shop!

Why not! I adore hardware and software of HTC!

I don't consider that if the current version of android is 4.2 all smartphones should run on it. The perfomance of Android version + Sense is the much better for me than the newest updated Android version without Sense.

You know all my previous Android phones were HTC (Desire, Sensation, One X) and when I bought Nexus 10 I was shocked that I don't have a lot of useful soft from the box!!! E.g. there is no mail client in play market which can be comparable to Sense mail client. I have tried ALL OF THEM!

The design of One is gorgeous. I fell in love with it. I am sure that many Samsung fans also consider so and would like to buy it now! But when on 14 of March S4 will be announced they will change their opinion and will buy S4. Because Samsung will have a little more MHz, mAh and so one.

And most will buy plastic usual S4. Thats the reality.

But for my none of Samsung phoneы has the soul! And HTC does! When you take HTC in your hand you feel that you take high-quality product. I am pretty sure that S4 won't have the sole as well. I want metallic HTC One right now! I cant wait till March :)
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
GSMArena, Anandtech, and SweDroid are the three sites that do comprehensive standardized testing. The SGS3's camera was generally perceived better than the One X's. The biggest issue with the One X's camera was noise. Pics looked fine on the device but when you looked at them enlarged on a PC they were pretty grainy. Here's what GSMArena said about the two cameras. And looking ahead it’s completely meaningless as HTC’s introduced a totally new tri-senor camera while Samsung will most likely use Sony’s brand new 13MP Exmor RS sensor.

Photo quality comparison

We have the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X in our Photo comparison tool. The tool's page will give you the full details and it's where you can make the most comprehensive observations on the cameras involved in this shootout.

The Galaxy S III uses its resolution advantage to easily outdo the HTC One X in the first two charts. The two are much more evenly matched on the last studio challenge, but the S III shot has far less noise there.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_vs_htc_one_x-review-759p5.php ​

Comparing how a device fares when it’s dropped is kind of useless. It all depends on how it lands. Neither the One X or SGS3 seemed to immolate when dropped so they're about even.

The One X had issues; a poll in their forum had 1/3 of owners reporting one or more problems. The DNA/Butterfly has fared much better with only a handful of build or QC issues being reported. So hopefully the One takes after the DNA/Butterfly. It's way too early to say how the One will compare to older phones and especially to phones that aren't in people's hands yet. Comparing the One to a SGS3 is kind of dumb. Who would buy an SGS3 over either the XZ, One, or SGS4? And the design, specs, and functionality of the SGS4 are completely unknown (aside from rumors) so comparing something that's defined to something that isn't won't get anyone far.

The 2012 One's were great phones and were reviewed well (critical success) but no one bought them and 2012 was HTC's worst year in a string of yearly declines (commercial failure). On paper, the One's a fantastic device. The real test of its success (and HTC's future existence) is how well it sells in the face of stiff competition from Samsung, Sony, LG, and eventually Motorola.
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
One of the main reasons that Samsung & Apple sell their products is their huge marketing spends. It seems to me part of the issue with HTC is that it just cannot compete in this area.
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
HTC's market capitalization (the value of the company) is $8B USD. Samsung spent $12B USD in global marketing and promotion in 2012. They also spend a similar amount for R&D. HTC’s got a tough road to hoe.
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
All I ever see is advert after advert for Samsung phones or the iPhone literally year round. You might see a few ads for HTC when they have a new device out but that often seems to be it.
