[One (M7) General] Rage1ofakind:
The One is a lot more brighter than the One X+
[One (M7) General] SWYRx:
The HTC One X had screen of 3 different manufacturers and all 3 had different brightnesses and color values.

Same thing going on here.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I'm judging only by eye, but I'd say the level of blue-push on my One is pretty much in line with what they found in that dutch review. You notice it a lot in videos - skin-tones aren't quite right, and everything feels slightly too cold and grey. It's possible that I and the dutch reviewers both have faulty handsets, I suppose.

It's also possible that most people don't know blue-push when they see it! Most televisions are calibrated with white points way into the blue if you use out-of-the-box settings, and relatively few people even bother to change the colour balance to "warm 2" rather than "normal", so significant blue-push is what a lot of people are used to and have come to expect. And the TV manufacturers use those out-of-the-box settings because they are designed to appeal to people at a quick glance on the showroom floor - blueish whites, over-saturated colours and exaggerated contrast and sharpness. People clearly like those things: look how many reviewers think the Xperia Z looks better with Bravia switched on. (Personally I find Bravia colours so unrealistic I feel like my eyes are going to start bleeding).
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
With the One X there were 2 versions for the European market. A Sharp screen and an Acer one. The Sharp one was much brighter than the Acer which might give rise to the confusion as to which phones are brighter. The Acer had better colour accuracy although HTC did improve further the accuracy for BOTH screen types in a firmware update. The One X+ I believe has the same Acer screen as the One X. There was some rumour that it was different but I had a One X (Acer) and One X+ side by side and they were clearly the same screen type.

So the good news is that HTC can improve it if they are all out by the same amount. If they vary wildly betwen units even with the same screen type then we are screwed.

I can see my One is a bit on the blue side but it is MUCH better than my S3. It is only a bit into blue, not wildly on the One. Also the screen is SO uniform! Maybe I just got lucky with that. How are others finding uniformity across the screen? NO backlight bleed at all, zero.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Variations in screen origin might perhaps account for the wildly differing numbers in the Dutch review (tweakers.net) and an earlier Russian preview (which you can find here).

It's also possible that all the positive reviews of the screen are based on the same pre-production version that the Russian reviewers saw, and that the version on the retail model is less accurate than the one on the review models, and has performance in line with the Dutch numbers.

It's a bloody minefield, this, isn't it? :(

What we really need is some more people doing colorimeter analyses. Sadly, I haven't owned a working colorimeter for a while now. If someone would like to buy me one, I'll take it for a spin. :cool:
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
keep in mind HTC have history of re-calibrating their displays with OTAs, it takes a few of the early OTAs before settling

although i keep wishing they should also offer color profiles like Samsung

knowing HTC the answer would be "the average smartphone user will not bother to change it" ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I am trading an old iPhone 4s for an Evo LTE tonight and I just wanted to make sure I will be able to access both the Internal storage and SD card via MTP on my Mac. I used a GS3 for a short time and the only way to access any of the storage on that thing was using AirDroid and some crappy card reader I bought at Fry's. It worked okay, but I really miss MSM :( Kies and AFT all failed to connect to my Mac. And yes, I use a Mac before anyone starts talking smack LOL! I love Apple, Android, and Windows, I am I fanboy of technology!! All my music and movies or on my Mac BTW.

If anyone has a quick sure fire way to plug and play with my Mac I would appreciate it. I don't want to be up all night adding movies and music in pure disgust :(

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mr.BungIe:
I am a Mac user, and not familiar at all with the programs you mentioned. I'll look them up after I answer your question.

Assuming you are going to root the phone and install a custom recovery (TWRP is my recovery of choice), you will have access to both internal (sd0) and external (sd1) storage when mounted via usb in recovery.

Otherwise, just mounting the phone through usb, I only hace access to the internal storage. THere may be another way to get to external storage that I am not aware of, but this method is working fine for me.

Good luck.

ETA: If all you are looking to do is sync your new phone to itunes, there are apps in the playstore that can handle that. Too lazy to look them up for you; just wanted to point you in the right direction.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
I can't find any threads that address this but I can't be the only person who has to deal with duplicate MMS/SMS entries.

I've been using SMS Backup & Restore for about 8 months while flashing new ROMs and performing

dozens

of factory resets. Along the way I noticed message count going up exponentially. Even though I checked for duplicate messages when I restored the duplicates cropped up anyway.

I now have over 50,000 messages archived, among them there may be 3 or 4 thousand unique messages and the rest are duplicates and I can't find a way to get rid of them.

Now when I flash new ROM's the longest part of the process is restoring the messages.

I have sentimental reasons for wanting to hold onto the old messages but I don't want 5 or 8 duplicates copies of each message.

I tried to upload and open the file on a PC and use a desktop program to edit the XML file, remove the duplicates, then send it back to SMS Backup & Restore but the file was unreadable.

Does anyone have success with this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freesunshine:
I know this isn't much of a help but I notice I have the same issue whenever I use archive mode, do you have the same settings? The work around for me was to not use the archive mode and just do standard back up and delete the old back up files.

FYI...haven't tried this app yet but it looks promising especially it also backs up MMS:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
Thanks for the heads up I'll try this app...

I use archive too because I'm afraid if I don't I over-write my existing backups... although now that I think about it archive shouldn't be necessary if I'm always restoring all the old files...
[General Questions and Answers] Nbsss:
I don't know if its just me, but i think manufacturers lately have lost the plot.

I feel the focus of late has been on raw power, specs, gimmicky bloatware and what not, and that the important things have been left out or not really advertised.

So! What do you really care about in a phone? (limit to top 5 please)

My 5 would be:

1) Ridiculous Battery Life

2) Clear visibility in sunlight

3) Doesn't break when dropped 50 times

4) Doesn't get hot with use

5) Close to stock

Get those 5 right and i'll never need a new phone again...
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Then how would they make any money? : p

Design is a trade-off. What's important to some isn't to others. They're trying to appeal to a wide market, outdo each other, and they're bound by limits of current technology (modern battery limitations, nature of a phone as a very compact device that's not going to be fans cooled, but air cooled, et cetera) .
[General Questions and Answers] IcedCube:
Battery life is one major nail in the coffin. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Power management on Samsung phones suck, take the Galaxy series - they are known to drink the battery juice dry. I would love to have a phone that gives me at least half a day without needing a top up. The thing is, people are so hellbent on getting a phone with the latest specs... then they complain about battery. It's not ANDROID at fault - it's the hardware power management circuitry not being optimized enough for you to get decent battery life.

I had a LG Optimus One... it was godly in battery life. I could browse the internet for like an hour and only have 5% drain. Whatever it was, it was awesome. Could get 3 days out of a charge if need be. On my Galaxy Note? Well, 30 minutes of browsing on 3G with 100% in the tank is around 85% when done. Lame.

Rant over. Carry on...
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I have the S3 and on a typical day I only charge when I'm home for the day. It's usually not even concerningly low, usually in the 40-50% range.

I bought a set of spares for days I have class where I have an hour or two where I might want to stream Netflix or play a GBA emulator. I don't really *need* them most of the time, but it makes me feel better - I'll cert use them more when it's summer and I can really get out and play Ingress (GPS on full time, data, screen n constantly).

I usually have a total of 2 hours screen on at work, and I can get 4-5 hours out of a battery. Mind you, this is active use. I have had the phone off charger for 12 hours right now, have 1:20 screen on time and 78% battery.

I think that's pretty fair.
[General Questions and Answers] IcedCube:
Well, I guess power management circuitry varies, some phones are better than others, but if I'm heavily using a Note, it's drained within 2.5 - 3 hours. Depends on brightness (I have mine set to like 15%) and WiFi usually idle... BlueTooth off, etc. Maybe WiFi is to blame but meh - no biggie...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyfffan:
Hello there, I currently encounter a very annoying problem with Google Play, of which solution is nowhere to be found:

1. Using stock ROM, Google Play becomes extremely slow and most of the time not working at all (Network error), while other applications still work well.

2. Everytime I factory reset, it works for about 5 minutes at reasonable speed, then the same problem occurs again.

3. Tried to reverse back to 4.1.1 but nothing changes.

4. Same problem with different WIFI networks and 3G.

5. Jelly Bam (haven't tried other ROMs yet but I believe they would) fixed the problem completely, but its lack of Samsung Apps and other amazing features (like Smart Stay, S Voice, S Note, ...) quickly made me reverse to stock ROM.

After trying every trick found on the internet (reinstall Google Play, clear the cache,...) with no success, and after two days struggling I am now completely exhausted defeated. My only hope is you guys who have had this problem before could help me fix it.

Thanks a trillion.

I've discovered that uninstalling Google Play updates will help, but only for 5 minutes or so. After which time the problem persists again.

Now my only solution is to uninstall Google Play updates, (then the app will ask for updating at first run), install some apps as quickly as possible before the connection goes down again. Basically I have to repeat that process every second app downloaded, and that drives me insane!!!
