Glad my explanation on the Xperia Z forum was proven true :) Anyways hard choice but I decided to not wait for the Xperia ZL and go with the HTC One. I just couldn't resist the speakers they're like a dream come true to me. Reminds me of the Nokia XpressMusic phones I used to love.
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
The washed out colors of the xperia Z are about when you change your angle of vision toward the screen, it was a real bummer on the Arc
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
view angles is the problem on the Z not the washout and its also not laminated on the surface

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

there is an option to change this behavior
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Well, I think it's more complex than that. It's partly Sony's poor choice of UI colours - dark grey background and muted colours - which makes it look less garish. But there is a genuine issue with the screen's black-level, which is unusually poor; and the colour temperature is also pushed way into the blue, which makes everything look "cold", whereas displays with more red and green can seem "warmer".

But certainly colours are actually over-saturated on the XZ screen, not under-saturated - it's just that people like them to be even more over-saturated. :)
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Nop dude when I had the Arc it was a pain in the *** when your screen turns out white if it's not perfectly aligned with your eyes,the xperia Z is not that bad of course but still a shame for 2013
[One (M7) General] ethan3686:
Xperia Z is the type of cell u need to see with ur own eyes to make a decision..it is definetly great..the viewing angles dont bother me..and that sleek design with on-screen keys make it look more stock android! Thats the appeal of XZ..

I am personally going for Htc One coz of the sound only! I am a music freak..i know its the best in that dept. and in headphones that is.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
blacks and view angles are a red line for me

considering even the Desire X and One V had great blacks and view angles, this is inexcusable from the makers of bravia

those who experienced the quality for SLCD 2 on last year HTC devices can not go back

when your leaving your heavy and big smartphone laid down on a surface and using it, view angles do matter, besides the devices looks a million time more uber and awesome with such a divine screen

so important that i'm willing to stick to my One X if they were ruined by the next flagship
[One (M7) General] Baldilocks:
A lot of work to do just to get something that should be built in, in my opinion...
[One (M7) General] chulo12:
Yeah. It sucks. But hopefully we won't have to wait too long
[One (M7) General] techguyone:
if you have the ONE facedown, is the body slightly proud of the glass? so you don't scratch the glass or not?

(wonder why my One usebar graphic doesn't show on my post)
[One (M7) General] eyeisdasteve:
The HTC rep I spoke to said that HTC is trying to push for everyone in stores to have them. That would be amazing. Doubtful, but amazing.
[One (M7) General] JayMore:
Hey guys,

Does it have the classic flip clock + weather widget? I'm so much more into the older versions of Sense, this could be a dealbreaker for me (on top of the missing task switcher/menu button)...

Thanks,

Jay
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Cant remember where I saw it but yes it does have a classic style clock at the very least and you can set long press back to be the menu button.
[One (M7) General] Brac20:
You can set a traditional homescreen up with the flipclock widget.

Also you can remap the hardware key functions.
[One (M7) General] AayushDhuria:
That software buttons aren't black, Sony made them grey :P. Although I agree viewing angles are terrible but not that terrible.
[One (M7) General] Basil3:
I haven't done much research, have htc improved sound quality this time around? Last generation Samsung was noticeably better.
[One (M7) General] biohaufen:
AW: Got to play with it..

Maybe you already heard from HTC Boomsound... The HTC One has a really amazing sound.
[One (M7) General] radiotrib:
Boomsound ??? hell if that's audio give me 'beep' any time ... it's about real music experience (and not annoying the three people next to you) and with a decent pair of in-ear of Sennheisers and a completely flat (no beats, no nothing) eq setup, the HTC One-X is the noise ...so if the ONE is as good (and I expect it to at least not to have gotten worse) ... then it will be right ... I'm not talking about boom, pop or anything else .. I'm talking accuracy ...

(mp3 artifacts taken into account of course)

For the record, I'm a bass player, have been since 1963 ... so yes, my opinion may be subjective .. but it's qualified by experience, and in a lot of cases, experience with the actual bands I listen to daily.

You see .. the problem is, we live in a world of Bose lovers who think that reprocessed sound is somehow better than the recording ... but don't really know what the original sound actually was... but if/when you can tell whether a drummer is using nylon-tipped sticks or full hickories, or a bass player is using a maple-necked or rosewood fingerboard Precision bass .. then let's not speculate on sound quality. Most music nowadays is pre-processed to death so it's down to personal preference .. and we all know that's just a source for disagreement and discord.
[One (M7) General] nerdo:
To all those who "got to play with it" lol :p

any thoughts on the missing settings button? What's hTC's work around?
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
You can configure the Back button to mean Menu on a long press.
[One (M7) General] Rage1ofakind:
Once you use it properly the buttons at the bottom won't bother you much, you get used to it :)

I actually found blink-feed to be really productive. As I use twitter and Google+ a lot, this will definitely be a plus for me. And the TV feature on the BF is pretty sweet :cowboy:.

The interface has definitely seen a overhaul guys. Sense is no longer a slacker, S5 has been improved right down to the core. The UI uses Androids guideline on nearly everything and is probably one of the closest skins to Stock (usability wise). Loving the new look phone view as well :good:
[One (M7) General] Brac20:
Can you set the app draw to scroll horizontally rather than vertically? It took me ages to get used to the change going from desire s to one X, now I'll have to learn to go back.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
I doubt you can change it from vertical to horizontal. I actually like the app drawer vertically. It's more fluid for me to scroll up and down.
[One (M7) General] Baldilocks:
That's a step backward....
[One (M7) General] polarized:
@chulo12

Did the sprint version have a micro sim slot? If it did, Did the rep mention if the sprint version will be gsm sim unlocked for international travel? I have heard conflicting information on both of these questions. Thanks
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Its the same model as the international one. Have you not been reading? One model across the carriers and internationaly. So no SD card.
[One (M7) General] chulo12:
That would be awesome. Wishful thinking. Lol
[One (M7) General] Brac20:
The HTC One City Tour started in the UK tomorrow. Nottingham tomorrow! And I was going anyway :) Will have a play and feed back what I think.
[One (M7) General] Baldilocks:
He asked about SIM not SD.
[One (M7) General] Brac20:
Just had a play around with the phone. My first impression is "Wow!"

One thing I have always given Apple credit for is the premium feel and look of the iphones. But I think for the first time they have been outdone. This is a top notch quality piece of kit.

The software flies. Super fast, buttery smooth! I was worried we might get micro stutter on blinkfeed but it was smooth smooth smooth. All the sense apps look nice and clean and run great.

I find it odd that Google+ isn't supported by blinkfeed currently. Also I don't like the vertical scrolling of the app drawer.

The two button lay out was fine to be honest. The multitasking window is lightyears better than sense 4.

Didn't get to try out the TV app.

Speakers offer decent sound. It could me heard clearly over the noise of the other people and the market square outside.

Also after looking at the dummy phones at my fiancée store I am definitely going for silver, the black is a bit boring to be honest.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
No you cannot scroll horizontally, when I first played with the phone i wasn't so keen but no ive adjusted to it
[One (M7) General] Faux Carnival:
The device's design is just stupendous! It is a diamond. One of few Android handsets to match iPhone 5 quality. If only it didn't come with Sense....

And of course, we know nothing about the battery life yet.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
I really don't care for this.because I don't like Samsung but I know a lot are waiting for it to compare.

For those waiting for the gs4 to compare both devices, mark your calendars. March 14th. That's when it will get announced.
[One (M7) General] XL2001:
And I bet you like it that way now ;) I find it more intuitive and less straining on your thumb when scrolling vertically. And apart from the home screens everything is vertical, email, browsing, notifications, settings, etc...
[Asus Transformer TF700] zhivchik:
Hello everybody!

I just joined the forum but I was following it for quite a while.

I have a problem with my internet connection on my Infinity at my university campus. My school uses wifi hot spots that require login and password supplied to a form in a browser. The browser windows opens and I can authenticate with no problem, except that my internet connection is extremely slow every time. I can login to the same hotspot using my galaxy nexus phone or a laptop and have a much-much better internet speed. The weird part is that if I know that the internet load on campus is low, like really early in the morning or late at night, my internet speed will be great. It is almost as if when there is a high network load my infinity gets the lowest priority, as crazy as it sounds.

At home the internet connection on my infinity is fast.

My tablet has unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I am currently running a slimmed-down version of stock rom 4.2.1 with clemsyn's kernel. The same problem persisted when I was on a fully stock rom and when I used cm10.

I would appreciate any ideas on the matter.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I used to have problem with internet on stock rom. However, after installed cromi-x with Hund's kernel, I have a better luck and faster internet. Since you unlocked your bootloader, you may try with a different combo and see if it helps. You could try browser2ram, tweak your core mem, tcp mem, and wifi buffer which also further improve your internet speed . Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Personally I wouldn't use clemsyn's kernel on 4.2.1. It's a 4.1.1 kernel. Switch to that's or Hund's and see if that eliminates the issue first.
[Android Apps and Games] wakkaday:
My version of xbmc is linked to mx player as it works better . Not sure if the official versions have been fixed to work on android properly but I want to use the subtitles addon within xbmc ? But I can't get it to work with the mx player ..

In the default xbmc player you just have to press the little square with the circle in it . But not sure if there is an automatic way with mx player / xbmc

Is there a way I can switch between players in xbmc as a work around ?

For those who haven't seen chrome was uodated earlier. Feels a lot smoother and performance seems better on heavy websites :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Yeah it seams to be way better then before. Also have you tried the new experiment Google has? Here is a link for it.

http://chrome.com/supersyncsports/

You interact with chrome on your desktop with chrome for your phone to play a fun little mini game. Any you can play with friends whore can see your computer screen. I was pretty impressed with it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] trident167:
Just tried it and it feels a bit laggy and not as quick as stock version. Opening a page I get a slight out of focus just before page loads. Revert back and all is good.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] RickLyons74:
I think it looks horrible... Text doesn't scale properly, especially in this forum... I reverted back as well
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
Agreed. Performance seems worse to me and the rendering engine seems broken. Everything is blurry as hell. Made my 720x1280 screen look like 480x800. Reverted back to the previous version of Chrome.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] davwman:
Stock is the way to go. Chrome eats battery
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Joga5000:
Pretty much my experience - scrolling isn't as smooth as on the AOSP browser, and the text is blurry. They should just call the old stock browser Chrome and be done with it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azik:
Horribly blurry now. reverted back and thinking of giving Dolphin a try
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
Syncing between all devices and my desktop plus tab swiping is too good to leave.

However the new version does suck. Where can I get the previous one? What was the version number?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] d_phekt:
To go back to the previous version just go to Settings > Apps > All > Chrome and click uninstall updates.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Kandydish:
Does the Chrome Beta app have all the current features and more?

I've been using the beta for a while and it's silky smooth for me and I've never experienced any of the problems you guys are listing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] styckx:
Jesus christmas.. I keep giving Google the benefit of the doubt with Chrome for Android then they release hot garbage like this.

Nice font size rendering!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] io53:
Still way behind the AOSP browser.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
Reverted back to the previous version. Typing in forums was pretty buggy
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] davwman:
If the stock browser is Google product, why not eliminate the chrome app and incorporate some of chromes features into the stock browser?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SleemLDJ:
I've had to revert back with titanium backup as well.

Fonts on it was way too blurry. Almost got me blind.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] forz.A:
Same for me. This update stutters more and just looks terrible. Reverted to an old backup.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
mm I dont see this option anywhere.

I have Force stop, uninstall, clear data and clear cache only.

..

OT: I dont understand why people like the old aosp browser. Its horrible. Like using a phone in the 80's. Different strokes though I guess.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] styckx:
Because it just works, doesn't get upgraded and still syncs your bookmarks. Chrome development on the other hand has multiple personality disorder.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
Lol @ doesn't get upgraded being one of your plus points.

It doesn't matter though, use the one you like. I just don't like the old fashioned style of aosp.

Sync bookmarks is one thing sync tabs is another. Can it do tabs? I don't think so but if I'm wrong can you explain. Maybe I will try it again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] veyka:
Can't sync your bookmarks if they are encrypted :( at least not in my experience, and I cba to screw around decrypting them and reuploading, so it's chrome for me :p
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Azurael:
The stock browser gets all the updates it needs. Tweaks, updates and build optimisations to the ROM apply to the system Webkit, V8 and other libs as much as any other part of the system. The stock browser is usually much faster than any 3rd party browsers for this reason alone in any recent Android build. There is a flipside to this coin though, the stock browser is buggy in some ROMs (e.g. CodefireX) and not in others (like AOKP PUB, which is what I'm running at the moment), and despite being one of few remaining places you can use it, the instability Flash causes is far more trouble than it's worth, I usually have it frozen on my devices...

This update is killing me. Font size and text clarity are terrible and make sites like this d@mn near unusable. I downloaded an apk from xda for the prior stable release of Chrome (18.0.1025469). Can anyone that's sitting on a backup confirm an md5 of d76ad6be138b2a353866066de64150df?

You can just uninstall the update to go back to stock version 18 Chrome..

I wondered why my phone was dying so fast today. I turned on WiFi and it updated something. It didn't do any JB installation or anything. It just updated network services.

I think its telling you to update your software. Go under system updates and click on the bottom one. See if that works.

I did and there is no system update :(

You may have updated by accident. In " About phone" what version does it say,?

Edit. I just noticed the fonts you have. It may have tried to update, but failed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
So the font could be the cause of it not updating?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
Oh and I'm not rooted or anything. Fully stock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
No its the with the new update comes a new font so once he saw your old fault he realized you hadn't updated. I would clear your Google services (settings>apps>Google services > clear)

Restart your phone then redo the clear then check for update again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
The TL;DR is - Running ROM fine. Phone boots up but screen does not turn on. Does not seem to boot into recovery/download mode. adb is attached aka works.

Phone was sitting on desk, untouched and not charging. Now the phone screen does not come on, but hardware keys light up and notifications come on. I then charged the phone for several hours. Hard reset with a battery pull, let it sit for 10 mins, try to reboot. The phone vibrates once, and 30 seconds later notifications come in, hardware lights come on, and led blinks. So the phone is booting fully, but no screen on.

If I try either of the recovery or download combinations, the same normal boot up happens. So I cannot seem to get into recov/download normally. Odin does not recognize the phone. Windows OS recognizes the internal and external storage as normal. "adb devices" returns nothing.

Is there anything you think may solve my screen-off predicament? :cowboy: .... Worst case its a hardware problem :( Other than that, I am friggin stuck here. Your assistance and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blueb0x:
Had a similar issue when a flashing went bad. My charger was plugged in and for some reason it just kept looping like you mentioned. No combination worked.

I disconnected charger and pulled battery. Waited a few seconds and did the recovery combination. That did the trick. Hope it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
The TL;DR is - Running ROM fine. Phone boots up but screen does not turn on. Does not seem to boot into recovery/download mode.

(Oye, now I'm reviving the OG Droid Incredible ...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Take it into a pitch black room and look closely, does the backlight try to turn on? I had a very similar problem where my backlight just died, I could see the faint outline of my home screen (like my brightness was on -50% lol) and everything worked but the screen. Ended up being a hardware problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot see even the faintest of light, just pitch black screen.

It's peculiar though --- the hardware buttons are not vibrating. As if it's not recognizing any input other than the Power Button. And thus, maybe why its not recognizing the volume rocker to get into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
Bump: adb now works and recognizes my device. Open to suggestions!!!

edit: Tried adb reboot recovery ... phone turned off, vibrated, then received no input whatsoever -- however still made the connection noise when plugging into USB. Only solution was a hard reset.

Is there anyone facing the issue of there phone seemingly powering off but its still running and gets really hot ad you can see in the graph (also unable to wake phone up, but i know its on because it takes a good few seconds of holding the power button to turn it back on so to say) WITH CHUNKS OF BATTERY DRAIN!, ive wiped data, all caches, flashed different roms, different kernals formated SD, calibrated the battery, reset the fuel gauge chip, the lot but yet it still happens and draining massive battery percentages?
