[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
Seems to me lately that HTC is slowing down on devs working on it, mainly because other phones like the galaxy series are picking up more devs every time the phone releases. Maybe with the HTC One things will change since it will be the same phone across multiple carriers, only difference might be the radio.

We certainly dont have more roms than they do, but the few roms that we have are different enough to be worth looking in to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Doesn't hurt to try anything new. I'm personally aiming for an s4 but we'll see how it compares to the one, although I'm not really impressed by it(the one that is).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] emtchrisbishop:
I just picked up a galaxy 3 and I have to admit it has me impressed. I thought I would be a HTC EVO guy forever, but that damn lte kept going me problems...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arrogantbastard:
If I was going to get a new phone this year, it would most likely be the One. Build quality looks outstanding, and from what I've seen, Sense 5 seems decent. I'm sure any one of the talented devs around here could tweak it to near-perfection. As it is, I'm happy keeping my EVO for another year and seeing what goodness I can upgrade to in 2014.

The only other option would be the S4, but unless Samsung ups their game in design and gets over their fascination with that CRAPOLED display, I won't go there.

Now, if HTC came out with say, a 5.5" version of the One, with that beautiful display and build, I would be like "Shut up and take my money."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
i had the galaxy s3 for 2 weeks and couldnt take it anymore

their touchwiz is complete and utter sh!t.

it just feels generic, plus the phone felt cheap
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mulhiny:
100% agree. To me, the GS3 was nothing compared to my EVO. The only reason I might say I liked the Note 2 better was because battery life is outstanding on it and it has a quad core. But both felt so cheap to me. My Note 2 battery door was always popping open. In fact, there is a thread on it. Common issue. Touchwiz is is gross, imo. And the only mods to it seem to be to turn it red or blue lol..at least that's what it was a few months ago when I had the devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Surprised to see someone complain about the hardware/build quality of HTC. My launch day Evo 4g is still intact and solid and functional. The unibody aluminum chassis this device is built from seems amazing to me, and the seems around the screen are perfection. The One appears to be even more solid and stunning, and looks like it will be more comfortable to hold due to the curved back. I'm impressed with HTC hardware. Unless, if maybe by hardware you're referring to the radios, which I have seen a lot of complaints about here (but I have none, personally)

Hope you roll with HTC, Sin. :thumbup:

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sand1303:
I think the build quality on my lte rocks. I have owned the og evo, the 3d, and now the lte. Can't say tis one is any less "quality" than the other two. It is just the thin form I think that makes u feel that way. My og and 3d were quite bulky if u were to compare it with this one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
The irony to the OP's experience, build quality is one of the few reasons I stay HTC.

I see myself sticking around.

Depends on what they have around or after 3/2014.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
I got the LTE on preorder and never had any of the problems others mentioned hardware wise. I proceeded to brick that 1 downgrading firmware but my replacement has been flawless. The only issue I have is my phone being a little to sensitive to lower voltages. Not a big deal really. The main reason I stick with HTC is how good the phones look and I've never had really had big problems with them yet.

Now with the ONE coming its gonnna be hard to get me off it. I just looks so damn good. Definitely gonna wait a few months before I switch I up tho.

Hope you stay with HTC sin. Seems like your always trying to bring something different and unique to the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
the only thing that I don't like with HTC is that they're moving away from the SD slot and the user replaceable battery. Other than that, I prefer HTC because of their quality of build.

I'm not sure if I want the One or not. I mean, I -do- want it, but I -really- like the idea of having an SD slot in my phone, and I like having an extra battery just in case. It does look like a sexy phone, though....argh...will have to check it out and see how well it handles in person.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
In my experience HTC phones have amazing build quality. Had an OG EVO that is still functional with no problems at all. This one is still fine. My dad has an EVO Design that got dropped in a foot of water and still works. Quality for me at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blackcircle:
Not sure what Sprint will bring out this summer after the One and the SG4. Probably a Windows device. The One seems to have excellent specs and a perfect size screen....and looks cool as hell too :D

via EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djs415:
I feel as if HTC or Asus are your best bet hardware/build quality wise. Then again, I'm a little biased towards how cheap and plastic-like Samsung phones feel. Google even admitted Motorola phones for the next year are a big let down. I think the LTE was an attempt at new design concepts, and it will only get better. I've used the One X+ a lot, and it's amazingly fast and responsive. I can only image the HTC One is even better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] frontlyna:
Here's the deal...

I have used HTC phones since the original T-Mobile Shadow, with windows mobile. Since then I have had the Touch, Hero, Diamond, and the OG EVO and EVO LTE, but although I found HTC to make good quality devices design and hardware wise, it was the DEV for the LTE that let me down. I remember taking my HTC Touch with windows mobile and running android for the first time. Since then I never turned my back on Android, but I just felt like something was lacking with the LTE. I was pretty disappointed in the amount of similiar roms and tacky themes. One preson said the GS3 DEV was lacking...are you kidding me???!! Look at those forums again, and you'll see a plethora of STABLE,SMOOTH, and DIFFERENT ROMS. Yea, Touchwiz is kiddy in a sense, but it still remains one of the best overlays on Android. It just works!! I love HTC SENSE, but after a while you feel like your held back by the way it looks and feels. I say go with whatever you prefer, but take it from an HTC LOYALIST, that the GS3 IS A BEAST AND IT HAS PLENTY OF CUSTOM ROMS AND KERNELS THAT CAN MAKE THE LTE LOOK LIKE AN OUTDATED PEICE OF METAL. Yea, the galaxy line is plasticy, but other than that, what can you complain about?? Great camera? Great screen? Great development? Official support for many popular roms? MIUI W/LTE?? LOL(I love MIUI) but it is a great device and I recommend that anyone who has problems deciding try it... Oh, and this isnt my first Samsung. I've had the GNEX,S2,EPIC,even the Transform which was complete garbage. I even gave up my Nexus 4 in favor of the S3...I say Samsung over the rest for 2013, but if you happen to get your hands on a MEIZU or XIAOMI that works in the US, well then youre talking a whole nother level...lol

[Chromebooks] Kou Dou:
Hey guys.

I have neither Windows RT device nor Chromebook but I know that both of them are based on ARM architecture. What is more, I read from news that certain developer of Google installed Ubuntu on Chromebook to enlarge the latter's offline features.

So my question is: is it possible to make a Windows 8 RT ROM for Chromebook?

It's a big challenge but will be very useful, especially for those geeks who have Chromebook and wanna try Windows.

Don't laugh if it sounds silly. :D

And thank your for your joining the talk. :cool:
[Chromebooks] zacharyb5386:
right now, no. Later down the road?...maybe

Apparently the BIOS is a huge problem.

I heard Ubuntu runs great on it though.
[Chromebooks] bal01:
Not legally... Windows RT is only being released as an OEM-install version, which means someone would have to mess around with the files that already exist on a pre-installed RT device, drivers at the present time are unable to be compiled nor installed on Windows RT due to Microsoft's adoption of the Apple ecosystem, and the bootloader would also be an issue. But, I have seen someone get the HD2 running it, it was news like a month ago http://blog.laptopmag.com/hacker-gets-windows-rt-running-on-old-school-htc-hd2-phone , but it's horribly laggy and slow.
[Chromebooks] Kou Dou:
You're right. Just be patient and be confident in hackers lol
[Chromebooks] Kou Dou:
Thanks for the reply. Yea I agree with your point. But developers are always making the impossible things possible, aren't they?

Actually HD2 isn't the only android device that can be installed Windows RT/Windows Phone 8. I saw in other forums that ZTE Blade CDMA2000 version+ (N880E) also has similar hardware environments that enables Windows Phone rom installation. So a Windows ROM for Chromebooks is worth expecting! ;)
[Chromebooks] williamjames07:
Yah thats right ubuntu runs good on it.Try out once!!!
[Chromebooks] araceli76:
Thanks for asking this question I always wondered myself too just never brave like enough like you to ask.
[Chromebooks] AndroiderShomette:
I don't think it's possible to install windows on Chromebooks at all. They're not very open-sourced, sort of like Apple products. You can install Linux on it though, since Chrome OS is Linux based.

My Galaxy s3 gets hot

My Normal Temprerature is 90 Fahrenheit

this is normal?

i´m only turned on a wifi, or watch a movie on youtube and my phone is already hot

and with the 4g turned on is more hot around 100 Fahrenheint

i have the t-mobile version. android 4.1.1 jelly bean stock rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah mine gets pretty hot too... I've seen it hit 105. Very bad for the battery :/

Have you checked for rogue processes? Get GSAM Battery Monitor or Watchdog Lite and see if anything is consuming a lot of CPU cycles.

Also, try CPU Sleeper - it shuts one of the cores off when the phone goes to sleep which gives huge battery savings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
I wouldn't do all that doing something that it wasn't intended to be, shutting down a core. Android does a good job with all that, if it gets really really hot

Buy a new battery or better yet start from scratch see if you get it stock. My s3 never been really hot, and I know what hot is coming from the g2x and the first galaxy now those phones will burn you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The G2x was nothing compared to the Sensation! OUCH!

And it only shuts a core off when its asleep. You can uninstall the app and it reverts so no harm there.

I have a second battery and it runs on the hot side side as well. My roommate has a white GS3 and I have a titanium GS3 and his battery lasts a hell of a lot longer than mine. It may just be defective. I couldn't get his past 90 degrees.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] westhillsat:
My battery is running 83/84 degrees, but then I recently changed to a 3200 which fits the original compartment.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, these phones are so random. Kinda like the thing with the dark dots dead pixel when screen is off some come in horrific shape from the box.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
How much on screen do you get with that battery and do you have a link? Also, is it NFC enabled? I don't need NFC just curious.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Mine was at about 95-98F when I was tethering and stayed pretty constant. The phone was a bit warm, but not worryingly so (it's gotten hotter).

Honestly, I don't think it's a big deal these temperatures seem within normal parameters.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I guess for me the fact the screen gets so hot is what bothers me... and the heat on the back, it goes through my Incipio case (both the rubber and the plastic) and its hot at the bottom of the phone... the temp readings are battery only since it seems the processor doesn't have a temperature monitor - that or none of the kernels support it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chaitanyakhaitan:
galaxy s3 high temp

10 mins of subway surfers and my s3 gets to 107-110 . Is this normal. I have hard reset the device and running on jelly beans 4.1.2 with minimum applications loaded. Normal temprature of the device when idle is 89 to 95. Only the bottom half of the screen gets hot. Took it to the service center they did nothing but reformat it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technoboi:
SO I am stuck trying to decide which of the two colours to get (Purple is not an option ;)). I have seen mainly reviews of the black and a few white but still indecisive.

It is always said the white will keep fingerprints away better but how does it do on the Xperia? Anyone with comparison shots of details shots of your own? I figure the black is indeed a fingerprint magnet and will require cleaning daily. How do you keep yours clean? A very good well placed full shield?

Been wanting to depart from the usual blacks and dark colours for some time...almost did it with my current SGS III but gave in to Pebble Blue.

Decisions, decisions...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whoaatricc:
Kernels. You're not going to notice much (if any) of a change in battery life by switching ROMs. Use the search function and research the kernels available to you and your phone. Experiment until you find results suitable to your needs. :good:

V18.1 Available

Share to all of You my little program :cowboy:

Features:

- CPU governor switch on the fly

- Fix for MTK6577 bug when 2nd core keep sleeping after screen unlock

Available governors:

- hybrid (default) - 2nd core starts then 1st is 100% loaded, max freq=1001Mhz

- ondemand - both cores work together, more time on freqs between 250-1001Mhz

- powersave - both cores work on 250Mhz

- super powersave - only one core, works on 250Mhz

- perfomance - both cores always run on 1001Mhz

- userspace fixed - fixed freq for both cores, no scaling

- userspace scaling- upper scaling freq thresholds is calculating on CPU load - in this mode, app runs 01processor.sh script from bumbon4ik

- visualization - upper line - cpu frequency, 1001mhz = full screen width, 250mhz = 25% etc. below - both cores, 100% load = current frequency line width. for ex. - fixed 500mhz and 100% both cores load will show three lines on half a screen

:good:

IMPORTANT.

On some phones & ROMs v18.1 may freeze the phone.

To delete app install this update from recovery - v18.1_recovery_uninstall.zip.

Its code:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "data", "/data");
delete("/data/app/MTK6577_governor_switcher_v18.1.apk");
unmount("/data");

So it delete only apk in data partition, to remove apps data You have remove folder data/data/MTK6577_governor_switcher_v18.1 and the same MTK6577_governor_switcher_v18.1.odex from dalvik-cache manually.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Thanks michfood :good:

I will give this a try on my zopo zp300+ because the power drain on the phone is very bad so I hope this can sort out those cpu's :fingers-crossed:

Do we have to reboot to switch between the different mode's ie: switching from hybrid to on demand will this require a reboot?

Also I assume I must disable/un-install any other cpu controllers such as set-cpu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
no need to reboot.

you can see current governor and cpu freq in such programs as CpuSpy, SystemPanel, CoolTool and others.

about other CPU controlling soft - yes, it`s better to use only one thing.

so AFAIK setcpu do not work properly because of that ondemand bag - after screenunlock only one core works.

it can be shown for ex. in SystemPanel or MicroCpuMonitor
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Thanks for the advice michfood :highfive:

You are correct about setcpu I made changes with setcpu but did not see any big improvements only slight improvements :crying:

I am installing your APK now and I will report back after a couple of days use :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi michfood,

No Problems on the zopo zp350+ mtk6577 michfood it work's great at the moment. :victory:

I did have a little problem at first I think caused by installing cpu spy after I installed your app. :confused:

Try to Install cpu spy first then install your app it worked for me. My setting's now hold no problem. :good:

Hope this helps:fingers-crossed:

Regards bigrammy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
V3 issued - tried to fix bugs.

Please reload.

Seems works fine, please test it.

PS - with Fix_on option, after screen unlock 2nd core ALWAYS awakes from sleeping, in ALL governors. It is really needed only for "ondemand", but I think it`s not bad for others. And may be we should asleep 2core in "powersave" mode to achieve min battery drain?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hafeezluqman:
Bug fixed : Governor is not reverting back to hybrid after screen unlock or reboot. I will reply after 2-3 hours about overheating.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hafeezluqman:
I am using it on Ondemand governor. After 1 hour of temple run 2 gameplay with mp3 playing in background, Heat is 20% less on my device. Battery came down from 50% to 24%. It means 26% drained in 1hour gameplay.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
is it good?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hafeezluqman:
It is good. Without this app, the 2nd core will sleep after screen unlock. So this app is a must have. Is there any app, which shows the load of 2 core seperately, like task manager of windows 7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
yes it's Micro Cpu Monitor.

it doesn't show frequency, but only load
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
