[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I like the hardware features on the HTC ONE and the fact that it seems to be built like a tank. It is running 4.1.2 but I don't see any difference between 4.1.2 and 4.2.2.

HTC One

Missing micro SD and Removable battery. SD is not an issue for me. I would probably get the 64gb for good measure but I haven't even used up my 32gb sd card. Battery may be an issue though.

S4

Feels cheap like the S3. But it has removable battery, an sd card, and it .3 inches bigger then the one. 5' may be an issue since I can barely type with one hand on my S3 (mind you I also have the Amaze which I love lol). Bigger screen means I can watch movies better, read, I love to read.

As far as custom roms, I picture the S4 having a strong community much like the S3 has. I know many have been left better because of what happened to the Amaze. Is it possible the HTC One will have a strong community?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
im going with the s4 once its out for month or so.... (just to see what devs gravitate to it)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
id go with HTC one :good: it looks more stunning than S4, samsung company sucks when it comes to designing always same stuff :/ also htc one got a ultra pixel camera and it's the only full metal phone (thats what they say) :P well everyone has different tastes :p well when it comes to the screen S4 wins :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
SLCD3 is far superior to Super Amoled.
[HTC Amaze 4G] imobileface:
htc one design is much better than s4 but in technology [ hardware and software ] s4 is better than htc one
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Like what?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Getting the wife the S4. Gonna buy it full price for her.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tube517:
Note 3 :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Eye tracking, gesture control, temp and humidity sensors, and s pen support. Of course I'm sure an app could take care of the first 2, but three other 3 things are hardware, and s4 has it, the one does not!
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Eh given it has that (the hardware part) but most if not any will utilize the temp and humidity feature...Google Now takes care of that seamlessly as well as a whole plethora of weather apps for those people that can't live without knowing the weather. Regarding spen I am sure people would go for the note series if they truly utilize the spen in their daily use due to its screen real estate where the pen would actually be useful. Regarding the development HTC is bringing the developer edition of the one with 64 GB of storage so I am sure development will be amazing (the regular version will probably get unlocked eventually as well). In my opinion one would utilize the front speakers way more than all the gimmicks that the s4 is offering (for better music and movie watching experience without headsets). The only weak point is its battery but since it isn't out yet we can only speculate about that, maybe sense has been optimized enough to squeeze juice out of the battery more efficiently (sense 4 roms have very decent battery life even on the amaze with its 1750 mah battery) and sense 5 is supposed to be even more lightweight. The way I see it spec wars are now not really a problem, manufacturers need to focus on build quality and aesthetics as well and both sony and htc have done that with their flagships this year. Samsung again has disappointed and you will witness exact Chinese replicas of the s4 (just like with the s3) flooding the market and every person and their grandmother would seemingly have one and you can't tell the fake from the real visually as they are both crafted from the cheapest quality of plastic available. However it would be very difficult to replicate htc one due to its mere quality and premium feel. Just my 2 cents. I am deciding between xperia z or htc one but holding out to see what motorolla x brings to the table then making my decision.

Edit: battery life is actually amazing on the HTC One
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Well the question was. Like what? In regards to what the s4 has that the one doesn't. I for one would use the temp and humidity sensors, as a weather app doesn't tell you the temp of where you are, but rather the closest reporting center and no weather app can tell you the humidity in your home. And I know of many people who would like to use the s pen on something a little smaller than three note. Besides, just cause you find no need for a hardware feature, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
How do you guys feel about the ONE has 4.1.2?

And I still do not understand why it takes HTC so long to update their phones. I mean it is that difficult to do or is it simply incompetence on HTC part?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
It exists I only pointed out that the front facing speakers with amazing sound quality trump the hardware features that s4 has bought to the table. Regarding hardware does the s4 have ir blaster? That technology is much more useful than a thermostat on your phone seriously I don't know how you can defend that. Get a note 2 its better than the s4 anyways if you are a Samsung fan, but gs4 didn't bring anything substantive to the table imo. Sony and HTC both have and I hope they do well
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
The s4 does indeed have ir blaster. I didn't mention that because it isn't something that is missing from the one. They both have it. And I agree it Is a very useful feature.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
ir blaster? Is that infrared?
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
From what I read, yes infrared blaster. Not sure why they call it blaster.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
IMO neither. Sure the HTC One looks like a well built phone but you can bet it wont have a dev scene or much of one since they clearly want it locked down as tight as possible. Small, non-removable battery, no expandable storage, Sense 5 looks like Windows Phone, and the phone itself looks a lot like the iPhone 5.

The Galaxy S4 is a spec bump phone, might as well wait till it comes out and pick up the S3 for cheap from someone offloading one. Use some of the money you saved to buy a decent case since its made from some of the cheapest plastic i've ever seen.

I think the Sony Xperia Z would be a better choice but its a shame that it probably wont make it to the states.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
The S4 has a 2600mAh battery. Wait until THOSE battery tests come out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
i meant the screen size :P my bad for not being more specific
[HTC Amaze 4G] dev_up_10:
I want the HTC One. I have been an HTC since there windows mobile 5 days but they have been disappointing with the last line of phones like the ONE X and S phones. I'll wait a bit after it comes out to see how it is.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
From researching around XDA, it looks like a "mode" either the PC or the phone enters into.... but what does it mean or do?

My problem is that when I plug my device into the laptop, it tries to install the necessary drivers, but states that it "Cannot install QHUSB_DLOAD"...

Any knee-jerk ideas as to why this would be? Is this one the drivers I install with the HTC drivers? I installed the drivers that are in the hasoon2000 post which contains the AIO toolkit. The driver file is called: HTC 3.0.0.007. I was thinking I could install it manually if it was a driver from this file....but I also tried to extract it (thinking I would get the necessary inf or .dll files), but it wouldn't let me extract it.

Any help is appreciated...!

It seems you are in a brick! Do not use unlimited.io's tool, just not yet. That will hamper your efforts to rescue your phone.

Use the unbrickig thread in development. You need an Ubuntu LiveCD / Wubi
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Well that would make sense. The phone is an old 1S which I took for a swim (inadvertently) and it is damaged (it works, but the display is barely operable). Thankfully, I have a brand new replacement from TMO, but the problem is that I <b>really, really need the contents of my SD card</b> from the damaged phone. Before I go through the unbricking procedure, let me ask... Do you know of any simpler way to recover the contents of the SD?? That's all I need. Them I'm shipping it back to TMO.

Regarding a live Ubuntu CD...I have a dual boot setup but it's a debian distro...but I cannot imagine that would be an issue...but I guess I will find out.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Debian shouldn't really be an issue but I would work with Ubuntu just to be on the safe side. Not sure of a quicker way to rescue the contents of the SD card. Maybe if you enumerate the partitions you can save a copy of the SD card? Not sure though, touch of jobo would be a better person to ask since I am not too experienced with Linux.

I would unbrick it the normal way, unless someone knows otherwise.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I wanted to do some testing, but I seem unable to boot into QHSUSB mode. On my other OneS I could do it by holding vol-up while rebooting bootloader, but not anymore.

Look at the downgrade thread. You can skip the step where you have to brick the device. ;)

If you can see your partitions in your devices, you can try and mount the partition directly.

mkdir mydeadsdcard

mount -r -t vfat /dev/hdx36 mydeadsdcard

Chances are you can not see your partitions tho. I think the reason you boot into QHSUSB is that your emmc is defective.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] syntropic:
I actually got it to connect (or I no longer so the QHUSB error). However, when I type adb devices, this is displayed.

C:\HTCOne>adb devices

List of devices attached

HT244W403652 recovery

So.. Is this phone in recovery right now??? (remember my screen is non-functional). And I was running Jellybean 4.2.2 on that phone....I tried "adb pull /mnt/sdcard" "adb pull /storage/sdcard" "adb pull /mnt/sdcard0" and "adb pull /storage/sdcard0"

And in all cases, it reported that the remote object "does not exist". Am I referring to the SDcard correctly??? Or is this an issue with the fact that it seems to be in recovery??

Thanks!!!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
You can try referring to the internal storage using the mmcblk number (mmcblk0p12 is HBOOT for example)
[HTC One S] syntropic:
What is the block number for the SD card? I apologize for my ignorance....
[HTC One S] syntropic:
You're aces...
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Also see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091801
[HTC One S] syntropic:
That's awesome! I had no idea someone had figured that many of them out...

I think i will thumbtack that to my wall.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
OK... well here is what happened so far...

I tried using the block number but that wasn't recognized either... apparently the phone was off or actually in recovery (as it says "recovery" after I run "adb devices".

Then I decided to hit the power button. To my surprise, the screen flashed on. It made it all the way through to the home screen and then snapped off.... but I hear text message notifications so I know it is on. When I do "adb devices" now, I get "XXXXXXX offline" (see below for a cut/paste of my shell (I am in dos unfortunately).

C:\Windows\system32>adb devices

<<<At this point I powered up the phone... the screen went dead, but the phone is still running. Windows informed me that Linux Gadjet drivers were installed... However, I have no access to a pass-through storage device, and as you can see below, adb states that it is offline.>>>

C:\>adb devices

HT244W403652 offline

I ran "adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p36/ ..." again and I recieved an error: device offline. I don't even know what offline means in this context. I always have USB debugging on this phone and I would be surprised if it wasn't still turned on. So what does offline mean??? Any ideas??

I have to copy this SD card in the next 24 hours and send this non-functioning 1S back to TMO, or they are going to screw me out of $850.....any help is sincerely appreciated!!!!!

EDIT: From a glance around the web and XDA... this seems like a driver issue... however, I just finished rooting my new 1S and everything worked fine. I tried switching USB jacks. As far as rebooting.... I can try, but I doubt the screen will turn on during the boot animation.... from experience it takes about 3 days for the screen to work... then it dies upon hitting the desktop (just like the scenario above). The only thing I can think of doing is installing HTC Sync... it is a longshot, but I cannot think of another solution.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Well HTC Sync didn't make a difference. I still get Error: device Offline when I try to do any action.

Is there any adb expert here who knows something??? I am trying to go through the adb commands (the few listed in windows), and hoping that something can be done.

As mentioned earlier.... I have some very important files on this SD card, and because I have been sent a replacement, I need to return this phone to TMO by thursday morning, or they will debit my card $850. Beyond important files, I also just have several GB of pictures and things that I really hate to lose.

So if there are any talents here who could think out of a box I would really really appreciate it.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Are you running a CM10.1 or Android 4.2.2 ROM?

Device offline is usually when you haven't allowed adb to perform operations on your phone.

If yes, once you do adb devices and if USB debugging is enabled, you need to press "always allow from this computer" and "OK" (obviously you have to simulate where the buttons are since your touchscreen doesn't work)

Here's a screenshot from a different device to help you.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Thank you... that's very helpful... I was running a baked bean version I built and that was based on cm10.1/ 4.2.2.

But the only puzzling thing is: (i) I have never seen that message before and yet (ii) was—before the phone was damaged—in ADB all of the time...

So I will trying poking around the screen. I only hope that when the screen goes out it doesn't also render touchscreen non-functional. Since we cannot "wake-up" our phones if they are in sleep mode, right?? We always need to use a hardware button like Power or the volume rocker. But I will give it a shot...

THANKS!
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Well, know the screen is on all the time, but there is nothing to see... it is all distorted video... like chomatic noise basically. And I tried several times to run "adb devices" and when I would get

error: device offline

I would try to press the part of the screen I surmised would be correct.

Eventually I launched some app I have on my desktop...so the touchscreen is working.

But I don't think that message is the problem (or rather, I don't think it is coming up).

I know this is not an easy nut to crack, but if you have any other ideas, please let me know. I am going to scour the web for any other posts about offline devices. I just cannot imagine that, since ADB was built for a developer to use from a special shell on the computer that there isn't some way to hack through this....
[HTC One S] usaff22:
So the screen half-works now? Does it show part of the screen?

I would keep trying to get the device online using the accept RSA fingerprint method. You can connect the phone via USB to a different computer with adb. Type adb devices on the cmd/terminal and then the "Accept RSA fingerprint" dialog should come up.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
When you boot into recovery, your sdcard is not yet mounted.

Boot your device into recovery.

Get into an adb shell and type 'mount /sdcard'.

In you adb shell, type 'df' (or 'mount') before and after you mount the sdcard partition to make sure it got mounted. Type 'ls /sdcard/' to check whether you can see your files on your sdcard. If your sdcard partition is now properly mounted in recovery, then from your PC you can adb pull /sdcard/

-Jobo
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Ok.. I got that. I didn't know you could access files from fastboot, only flash.

So I should from the shell be able to ls \sdcard\ and I will get a directory listing.

The only thing I didn't get was "mount" before and after... But I will just mount, cd to sdcard, mount again, and just do everything enough to lower the odds that it didn't get mounted. Do I need to use any operands or anything like "mount -o ..."?

Thanks again for your help....and education.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
No... I wish this were the case... but now my visible screen space is about the size of the notification bar or less... the rest, as said, is nothing more than slightly moving chromatic noise...

I think though because Fastboot mode is far less cluttered and doesn't have all my notifications and desktop apps... if I can get that to work....well, let's hope.

Thanks for your help........!!
[HTC One S] syntropic:
OK. I am getting close....

I just plugged my phone in and since "adb devices" gives me recovery, I thought at first, I could just try some commands from here. I was able to list the system partition.

ls

/sdcard # ←[6ncd /system/

cd /system/

/system # ←[6nls

ls

bin

/system # ←[6ncd ..

cd ..

~ # ←[6nls

ls

cache init.rc sdcard

data initlogo.rle sys

default.prop internal_sdcard system

dev mtdcache tmp

devlog proc ueventd.goldfish.rc

etc res ueventd.rc

fstab.qcom root

init sbin

~ # ←[6n

But it wouldn't let me mount either the "internal_sdcard" nor "sdcard". The above looks actually like all of the available partitions and not the system directory... but I could be wrong.

OK, I am going to hold volume down and power up and hope that it goes into "live" recovery. I am guessing I will be able to mount the sdcard listed above as a partition and then see the files...
[HTC One S] syntropic:
I am actually able to boot into recovery without any problem... The screen must be at a different bit depth... because there is no issue...

However, I tried to mount sdcard and got an error.... Is this bad news???

I am going to hit install in TWRP and see if I can see the data that way....
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Also, I can go into /dev and see all of the partitions...

but when I go to advanced ==> file manager, and navigate to sdcard, I can only see TWRP. I am almost certain I have used the TWRP file manager before and was able to navigate through my entire SDcard....

So I may be SOL...

But if there is any other last-ditch thoughts (or questions) based on what I have said or shown, please let me know...

Or let me know if your opinion is that the microsd card is kaput...

Thanks a lot to those who helped me.

[HTC One S] usaff22:
Since you are in TWRP, can you not Mount the SD card to windows by feeling your way around the TWRP UI and somehow pressing "mount SD card"

There are quite a few screenshots of TWRP on the internet.

(Last words from my phone which is about to run out of battery lol)
[HTC One S] syntropic:
I neglected to mention that because Fastboot, recovery, etc. run at a lower pixel depth, I am able to see everything in TWRP. In Windows, I couldn't mount it while I was in TWRP, and while in TWRP-->>Advanced-->> File Manager, I can't navigate to the SD card. It's empty, (except for TWRP).. .this would be my answer, but I am not sure that this is the sd card, or if this is a block or what because the whole listing (see output to ls -laS copied to a post above) doesn't even look like the normal system partition. But I am just not familiar enough with the entirety of Android's file system to say this conclusively...
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Hmm. Seems like your SD card might be corrupted then. Sorry, tried my best though :(
[HTC One S] syntropic:
I know..been coming to tends with that. Thanks to you and jobo though.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Np. Might be a good idea to auto upload your images or backup your data to dropbox, that is what I do, so that if anything goes wrong I haven't lost a single image :)
[HTC One S] syntropic:
That's a brilliant idea.

I called TMO and told them I was trying to get this data, and they noted my account, so I have until Monday to mail it.

But here is my question. I have never done all that much in recovery except flash and permissions fix, etc. But along with a file manager, I see there is a shell/terminal option.

Is there a way to push a copy of the whole filesystem (or each partition) to the USB connection?

You probably wouldn't use "push", and since it's Linux and I know I had both busybox and some version of bash installed, I am sure I could just "cp / -r"...But I don't know the destination.

I can probably mount the system from an ADB shell, but was wondering if it was reversible (either from the recovery shell or a terminal emulator within Android itself).

I will Google this a bit, but if you know offhand if this is possible let me know.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am wondering if firstly the Exynos 5410 Octa version of the Galaxy SIV is LTE compatible. The only reason I would get the Galaxy S4 is if it has the SGX544MP3 (I want to have graphics performance future proofing) and if the UK will not get that model on LTE I will probaly get the HTC One or the Xperia Z. Please help!

Thankyou
[General Questions and Answers] Lifehacker7:
I heard both the US and global versions are gonna be LTE capable ( even if they come with different cpu).

So i guess it's gonna be LTE capable all around the globe even in the UK.

Yes theyre both LTE its just the Exynos wont be available in N.A. due to unsupported bands on that model. Shame really.
