Honestly, I come back to HTC because of sense. Been a fan since the introductory manilla days on WM. If HTC HAD the money to be able to advertise like Samsung, I think your average user would go for the One purely on looks.

I care about HTC and don't care about the announcement because it frankly doesn't matter what Samsung announce. It will still sell more than the One. The brandname has enough inertia that even if they released a really crap phone, they will have over a million preorders already.

Hmm if a person is very loyal to a specific type of phone you call them fanboys but what do you call someone who would rather buy any types of phone other than that specific type?

:D Cause that's me! I would buy any phone in the world other than samsung. Dunno why but I really hate their designs their UI and the name itself.

Hmm I guess I'm a samsung 'haterboy'? LOL :D
[Android General] lunercrab:
Sorry to ask this but I'm curious about something....I had the hox for a month but sold it to buy the s3 for two reasons......att had it locked down...also I was not happy at all with multitasking on the hox....it was always killing my apps location if I would switch around to a different one....I'm really wanting to switch back and try out this phone cause I do love the htcs build much better....has multitasking gotten any better since a year ago?
[Android General] barondebxl:
The HTC One is a great device, I really hope that it has decent battery life. Other than that little worry I think it's a winner and HTC did what they had to do.

HOWEVER, Samsung knows what is at stake, they have the momentum and they can't slow down now. I wouldnt be surprised if they come out with their own " one more thing" a la Steve Jobs. I think that the Galaxy S IV is gonna be a winner, probably with a big removable battery and expandable storage, fast and well optimized UI with cool New features ( call them gimmicky or not). That alone is good for me. I'm gonna wait for the announcement, my choice Will be between the One and S IV but I'll be lying if I was saying that I wasn't leaning towards the S IV anyways :p

Samsung is aggressively marketing the Galaxy brand, yesterday at the Oscars, that's pretty much the only thing they were showing (even more than the Oscars :p )

I do understand the hate towards Samsung, it comes with success, when you're on top, people hate you, that's just the way it is. If HTC was in the same position, they would be a lot of tomatoes 8 like comments in here ( shout out to tomatoes 8)
[Android General] Maedhros:
I'm looking forward to the announcement as well... but I'm leaning towards the HTC One :D
[Android General] barondebxl:
I respect that and totally understand. No matter what Samsung does, HTC has itself a winner in my opinion.
[Android General] gelo01:
I guess that explains HTC's "quietly brilliant" slogan. It's a fact that HTC produces a more premium built phone, better hardware, so on and so forth, and yet other companies produces more sales. Problem is that, i think they are adherent to being quiet. Brilliant, definitely yes. But profit-wise, i don't think so. Even if HTC can produce the "best phone" and don't advertise that much, people will tend to choose on what they always see, such as the gs3 and the ip5. I mean, here in my country, i NEVER see an HTC advertisement, yet the gs3 and ip5 are still advertised until now even though they are several months old.. if only HTC can advertise just like samsung and apple, most probably HTC will blow away those 2 giant companies out of the window..
[Android General] barondebxl:
Yeah well unfortunately for HTC ( at least in the past, the HTC One excluded) design isn't everything. The One X was a huge disappointment. Yes it had a FANTASTIC design and THE BEST 720 p screen on a smartphone still to this day, but the lag was really painful and battery life was mediocre to say the least. Then for the more advance/techies, the One X had a locked bootloader with that S-On crap, also you have to jump to so many hoops just to root that phone.

HTC made it clear last year I believe, that smartphone thinness is more important than battery life.... What kind of shhhh*t is that really? Why can't they do both. Yes the S3 was plasticky, but it was as thin as the One x, with a bigger removable battery. This is HTC's fault.
[Android General] yvibes:
HTC simply put just isnt as big of a powehouse as samsung and apple. They dont have the amount of money and resources like

the other two. My next phone is defo the HTC one but I will give samungs event a look as well. Unless samsung includes their exynos 5 processor, htc one wins it for me. I couldnt give a flying fk about samsungs gimmicks that they include in tw, tw is ugly as well imo. No one can say sammys

software features are great...s voice is crap, smart stay is stupid etc etc
[Android General] CraigP17:
Being in the mobile phone sales field... It's very relevant. People walk in my store daily asking if they can pre order the gs4. The galaxy line has become so recognizable. Samsung did so well marketing it. Other than the iPhone, galaxy is the most recognizable brand in all of the mobile industry.

Unfortunately, what the masses know and buy will be what dominates. The gs4 sales will make the HTC One seem so irrelevant.

I'm buying the htc one. We all here may recognize it's quality. But marketing wins.

[Android General] firmbiz94:
Tbh I would be lying if I said I didn't have my eye on the gs3 after buying the EVO LTE...like me me mentioned earlier the one thing that bugged me was the aggressive app killing the one x series had ...which made no sense to me being even my hero c could multitask better...but I played with the sgs3 thoroughly...and although it was a nice device and in some instances a hair faster it wasn't enough to overlook the cheap feel..my EVO is as sturdy as day one ...screen gorgeous..the HTC one if the camera is at least as good as now is a winner and I'm super excited for it ..I always have access to a charger and am pretty ocd about keeping my phone well charged at all times rarely getting below 40%. That being said we all know Sammy will drop a bomb ...but for me the htc one fits the bill...it's so damn pretty and that still means something to me ...build quality seems to take a back seat to almost anything to most , but not me ...and that's why ive always owned HTC devices ..except for a short (one week ) cheat with the gs2 .....either way both devices will be power houses...and as in the past u won't go wrong with either...good for android ....bad for crapple

In some degree, the S4 will effect the HTC One,actually, S4 is obviously more attractive than HTC One.But what the reality is may be depend on what S4 will be like.

To the masses, it is. The xda community is the minority of smartphone consumers fyi...

People love the galaxy series. They want the gs4 already.
[Android General] Maedhros:
Yup.

To be fair, the GS1 was nice, the GS2 was great, and the GS3 was fantastic (esp the NA version with 2GB). People are right to have high expectations with the GS3.

Not to mention hating HTC and HTC Sense is fashionable now a days. I have heard people who have never used a HTC device talk **** about HTC sense and complain about how slow it is...
[Android General] crashck:
As you can see from my signature I'm a galaxy s3 user and a previous cappy user. I don't understand why Samsung people hate HTC and vice versa. Isn't apple the enemy? Lol...I 100% agree that HTC hardware is much higher quality feeling. When I first got my galaxy s3 I thought it was the ugliest piece of technology I had ever laid my eyes on lol but it went right into a case and it no longer burns my eyes to see its ugliness. My cousin uses the one x and I even switched phones with him for a few days and the biggest impression I got out of the one x was that it was a solid phone that felt more premium than the gs3 but I couldn't use it as my phone. Lack of removable storage and removable battery is a killer. Also the battery life on the One X defintiley left something to be desired. (BTW we had full wiped phones and then installed the same apps on each phone) The One is more than likely going to be a much more premium feel than the Galaxy S4.

Also wanted to add that I even though I prefer the galaxy line to the One line, I can defintely see how some one would differ from my opinion.
[Android General] Ddot196:
If Samsung comes out with that same crappy "pebble" plastic design of a phone, I think I will be picking up the one. I feel they will most likely have the same or similar specs so I think to me it would just come down to design and ui. I don't care for sense or touchwiz really as I have used both of them. I usually end up rooting phone anyways and taking it to stock. Plus if Samsung goes with amoled again that is a big no. I love the HTC one x screen already. Not going back. I mean, have you seen the one's design!? Gorgeous!!
[Android General] expertzero1:
Its just that, most of the android market is controlled by samsung.
[Android General] Hunt3r.j2:
Samsung won't have anything left to distinguish themselves in hardware if they launch with the rumored spec. 13 MP camera is nothing new, same with S600, LPDDR3 might be good but it doesn't make a huge difference in performance. 5" LCD screen is meh with Samsung's notorious non-calibration. The only thing that might be interesting is the rumored 3000 mAh battery, but I highly doubt it when LG, which makes some of the best batteries in the industry, can only get a 3140 mAh battery into a 5.5" phone.

Basically, Samsung can only compete on software if the rumored specs are true.
[Android General] Eggcake:
Well, where's the difference to last year? If you just look at the hardware, it was also very similar to the One X. 720p screen (worse->PenTile), Quadcore, both 8MP camera,...removable battery, sd card ;)
[Android General] radiotrib:
Lets face it guys ... well over 95% of the buying public buys marketing not phones. To them, a smartphone is a commodity or a status symbol, not a technical toy. Taking into account the size of marketing budget that Samsung and Apple can afford to spend, HTC just cannot compete at the same level. Even HTC management are declaring that it's their target for 2013 to come a good third. If they manage that, AND show an upturn in profitability to go with it, then they will have achieved enough to declare 2013 a succesful year ...

... and that's what we should be cheering them on towards, because success on that level will ensure that they can continue to provide us, the geeks and tekkies, the financially insignificant but technically savvy 1% of the market, with the level of excellence we expect from THE premium smartphone manufacturer.

If they can succeed in doing that onwards for years to come I'll be happy with my new HTC flagship every 2 years thank you very much :) I have no need to change... HTC top-end models have always satisfied my requirements.
[Android General] harise100:
Same procedure as last year!

I wanted to have a HTC phone because it was a beautiful phone, but ended up with a S3 because of

- the missing sd card slot (I'm old school: data / os on physically seperated partitions),

- removeable battery (freedom from the cord!),

- menu key (those 3 dots that steal screen estate suck!!)

- unlocked bootloader (xda !!)

Useability trumps design. That's why Samsung is most likely winning again... maybe next year.
[Android General] radiotrib:
Wll I'm an old man, but I embrace new technologies - that's part of my job so ...

Removable SD Card ?? ... Everything I save goes up onto the cloud so why do I ned an SD? ... I use it all on 8 different machines and phones so I need it available wherever I am ... Honestly, how many people actually switch SD cards in and out of their phones ?

Battery ?? ... I drive back and forth a lot. When I do, the phone is charging in a cradle. I go to bed, I plug it into the charger. I sit working at my desk I plug it into the computer to use the connectivity and it charges, I'm never away from a charging device for more than 12 hours and even when I forget to plug it into anything for 24 hours my On-X used to still have a sensible amount of battery left ... and I've got a solar rechargeable, 8000maH external battery pack for when I go away and don't know about the local power supplies ... other than that I've never carried a spare battery since my Wizard was overclocked ... so how many people out there actually do carry a spare battery around with them ??

Menu Key ?? ... there's a press combination on one of the two remaining keys which will pull up the menu

Unlocked Bootloader ?? ... you won't have to wait for long - personally, I don't even know whether I'll bother this time. I prefer to wait and see.

[Android General] harise100:
Different people have different needs...

I got a 500 mb data plan and mostly no wifi, so what is a cloud good for me ???

I can't charge my phone on a public bus and don't want to carry around a battery pack.

I got only 1 phone and 1 tablet at home. I never swap my sd card, I just want the seperation of OS and data.

Moral of the story: No SD Card, no removeable battery -> No Way!!
[Android General] CraigP17:
2gb of ram made a big difference (besides all the amazing marketing and commercials)

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

I agree with everything here.

Except... The problem with the menu... Even on the new One that i was able to play with, the black bar with the menu dots on it was present, and wasting space at the bottom of the screen. Made me think of that on my one x. They do need to knock that off

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

How do you ever expect to experience a high end smart phone and all it can do if you only have 500Mb monthly? I mean unless you don't leave the safe haven of your home wifi... But in that case use a tablet and get a flip phone.

Motorola, HTC, and Apple.... None have removable batteries and i see that being the long term trend as well....
[Android General] Simco80:
I am personally waiting to see which phone and carrier are going to be easier to root. With all these damn new laws in the US I am hoping HTC or Samsung take a stand.
[Android General] Jeeko:

[Android General] gelo01:
Then don't buy the One if it keeps you awake at night just because of that SD card and battery you're complaining. Wait for the sgs4 instead. Problem solved.
[Android General] imaconeheadXD:
Why all the hate for Samsung guys? :p I'm a galaxy s3 user and I'm loving it, waiting for the s4 to be announced even though I have no money or need for another smartphone yet just to see what they come out with. I agree with you guys that HTC definitely uses more premium feeling materials in their products (my friend brags about it all the time with his HTC vivid), but Samsung build quality is just as good. I just love smartphones in general so I hope you see me as impartial... I've always believed that Sense does definitely look the best and have some great features, but overall Samsung includes the more productive features with the better inner hardware (other than camera and audio). It seems that HTC focuses on design and aesthetics while Samsung focuses on power and productivity. Both devices are sure to be amazing phones, that's for sure, but I feel that the s4 will just work better for me. I also agree with others that I just need the removable battery and removable sd. I don't carry around an extra battery, but instead I just replaced the battery with a 4600 capacity which lasts me a couple days. Sometimes it's needed for trips or when you need to just keep your screen on for extended periods. And the sd I feel is needed for a few things, even when using the cloud (which I actively do). For example, I have around 90 gigs of music on Google Music in the cloud that I stream from, along with around 10 movies on Dropbox. I have very slow Internet both at home and over mobile, so if I want to listen to a song from the cloud it can take 5 minutes of buffering just to BEGIN playing a song, along with plenty of stuttering during it. Movies... Yeah those don't work out too well, so I need the storage on my phone to be able to enjoy them. All that along with around 200 apps... A removable sd card is definitely useful and needed.
[Android General] CraigP17:
What I've been trying to say over and over, you are the minority. What you described above is not your typical smartphone consumer. We here at xda are a small small piece of the pie.

We buy the device that fits our needs. Consumers will buy what's recognizable and popular. The gs4 will trump the htc one sales. I still prefer the htc one and will be buying one. I have unlimited data. 4g LTE. Tons of cloud space.
[Android General] imaconeheadXD:
I understand, I was just saying that in my opinion the s4 will be better for power users as well, not just the ordinary consumer. And same here with the data, but on my network (Sprint) it will just drop off, only reason I'm on it is because I need my unlimited data (see screenshot) :p

Indeed, I think S4 is more attractive than HTC One although I myself is HTC users.
[Android General] Goku80:
if and this is a big if the S4 comes with the s600 chip i am going to go for the ONE..now that also depends if s-off is achieved though. if that has s-off from the get go it is a no brainer for me....but also i need to see what sammy has to offer and what the design and if the bootloader will be unlocked like the s2 was...also regarding development support from our guys here on xda...am not going to deny both handsets will be unstoppable but will see how it goes..but yeah those above are my reasons why i might get swayed with the One
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Myriachan:
So, I'm working on a new jailbreak that I hope will be more reliable and faster. I have my DLL injected into csrss.exe and now need to exploit the kernel.

The exploit itself is rather limiting: you can only decrement an aligned dword whose new value will be greater than zero in a signed sense. If you decrement a dword whose value then becomes zero or negative, the kernel will bugcheck (BSOD). Same if you try to decrement an unaligned dword, because the InterlockedDecrement instructions will throw an exception on ARM.

The ultimate goal is to set g_ciEnabled in ntoskrnl.exe to zero. The current jailbreak works by decrementing that dword almost 0x80000 times to lower g_ciEnabled from 8 to 0. However, this is unreliable for several reasons, mostly due to other flags in that same dword.

The other way to accomplish this is to get arbitrary code running in the kernel, then just write to g_ciEnabled directly. This is a lot easier said than done.

Directly attacking function pointers in the kernel or drivers doesn't work. This is because all kernel pointers have their high bit set, and therefore would bugcheck when decremented.

Setting bits in g_CiDeveloperMode in ci.dll would allow loading of kernel drivers signed with a self-signed certificate - this is test signing mode from the desktop Windows. However, this value is zero, and decrementing it to -1 bugchecks due to being negative.

The function pointers in the system service dispatch table are encoded specially, such that they end up not having their high bit set. This makes them interesting targets. However, this table is stored at an unknown runtime address. This address is unknowable to user mode. Also, the ARM kernel has PatchGuard, meaning that changing the SSDT will bugcheck the next time the PatchGuard DPC runs.

Another idea I had is to poke at our trap frame from a second thread, in order to set the saved status register's privilege level to system - to make the kernel return to a kernel thread but in our space. This is problematic because the trap frame is at an unknown address.

A timing attack could be used, where one thread pokes at the kernel stack of another thread while it executes a system call. This has interesting possibilities, but how would we know the address of the kernel stack for a thread?

Getting a handle to \Device\PhysicalMemory would be nice, but difficult. Also, how would we get the physical address of ntoskrnl.exe? The virtual address is easy by comparison.

Just ramblings of my thought process on this. =)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
The main speed issue is that something is out of sync for the first 100 seconds or so after booting that causes the kernel call we exploit to crash.

I haven't noticed many, if any issues with it doing that (except that we're not editing g_ciEnabled)

Especially since g_ciEnabled doesn't exist on ARM.

All kernel code is loaded at 0x80000000 or higher.

I've been trying to do something like that, but I've hit a wall since all the pointers, as you said, have the negative bit set. I wanted to hijack a pointer in the HalDispatchTable.

Again, all kernel code is loaded at 0x80000000 or higher.

Even if you somehow pull that off, how is that going to be better than the current tool?

A handle to PhysicalMemory can only be opened by ring-0 code.

g_ciEnabled doesn't exist on arm, we're editing an unnamed variable that controls the required signing level (not rather signing is enabled). See clrokr's blog for more information, and read/search through the Hacking Windows RT to run Desktop Apps thread to see that we've tried quite a few of the things you listed.

All the things you suggested are either impossible (with current knowledge, or just flat out impossible), or far more likely to cause issues than the current jailbreak. Also, what stability issues are you having with the current jailbreak? It works 100% of the time for me.
