Hello I was wondering if anyone can help me find the cid for my htc one. I have decided to just go back to stock and I was reading on another thread that you need the cid to get the right stock. I am a total noob.

Download "CID Getter" from the playstore.

That will tell you your CID at the very top left of screen in a red text, after running the app. :)

thanks, I got the app and it says my CID is SPCS_001, and I don't see that listed on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823

Facebook Home

You might have heard about Facebook’s new app, Facebook Home, that replaces the home screen on your Android device. This new app launched on April 12th in the Google Play store but is only currently available for a handful of devices. Thanks to some impatient developers, that exclusivity didn’t last long. You can now download and install on the Facebook Home app on any Android device. Here’s how.

I. Install the New Facebook APKs

1. Uninstall your current Facebook app and Facebook Messenger and Facebook Home if you already tried to install it and failed. (You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > find the apps and uninstall them one by one).

2. Download the three APK files from the links below and save them to your desktop.

Facebook Home (Updated 04.16.13)

Facebook Messenger (Updated 04.16.13)

Facebook App (Updated 04.16.13)

3. Plug your Android device in via USB cable.

4. Copy the three APK files over to the storage of your device.

5. Unplug the device.

6. Open any file browser on your Android device and locate the APK files. (If you don’t have a file browser, head to the Google Play store on your device and search for Astro File Browser and install that, then use that to locate the APK files).

7. Click each of the APK files to install them, one by one. To avoid issues, install the Facebook App first, open it and login. Then install the Messenger app, open it and login. Then, finally, install the Facebook Home app, open it, and login.

8. Once they are all installed, hit the home button and when asked which app to use select the Facebook home application (you can check the box to make it the default if you decide you want to keep it for now).

9. Enjoy exploring the new launcher and apps. To uninstall, simply go to Settings > Apps > Select them Facebook apps and hit uninstall on each of them, one by one.

If you have any issues and have a custom recovery (or a stock recovery that has these options) head to recovery and wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

I knew that HTC did something to the camera software, but I didn't expect the results to be THAT different, looks awesome! Like the author says, it looks like "the gray veil has been lifted"!

[One (M7) General] ferincr:
Ok, this might be a silly question but...

To receive future OTA updates on the Dev Edition, do you have within the U.S. and with a U.S. carrier or the phone will pick those directly from HTC through WiFi????
[One (M7) General] shani248:
Any idea how to force the update? I'm on the UK version with stock 1.28
[One (M7) General] rovex:
There is some confusion here about the age (or revision) of the updates. HTC tend to use the following naming convention:

In this case the 1.29 is the base. So 1.29 is newer than 1.28.

the .401 is the region or carrier. A higher number isnt newer, its just different. .401 seems to be the international unlocked unit.

the .12 is the revision, the higher the number the newer.

Therefore 1.29.401.13 is newer than 1.29.1345.3 (for example).
[One (M7) General] Kedgez:
I think 1.29 refers to HTC One while the next 3 or 4 numbers refer to the region or country code so this means that 1.29.401 doesn't mean that it's less outdated than 1.29.841. Same goes for .707 and .709 etc. The main focus should be on the last set of numbers which is either .3 or .12 or .13. ARHD is using .13 which the latest build that is rolling out throughout Europe. .12 is the latest in Taiwan. So forget about the first 6 or 7 figures. Focus on the last 1 or 2 digits :laugh:
[One (M7) General] hegartyp:
Thanks for clearing that up folks i was getting confused with the number after the 1.29 - i'm still stuck on 1.28 waiting on good aul Three to release it in ireland :(
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
Good luck with that... I remember back in my HTC One X days that it was people who were with Three who got the latest OTA's much, much later than everyone else.

It'll take HTC a little while to roll it out to everyone and then carriers a little longer to sort out their $hit.

Glad that HTC are being prompt with their updates, that was their main downfall last year.

All I keep seeing is 1.29.401.12, I thought it was 1.29.401.13 that was being released?
[One (M7) General] liney_2000:

[One (M7) General] jmbillings:

[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
When the HTC One X came out the UK got the releases first before the rest of Europe. After about the 3rd firmware release this changed and the UK was at least 2 weeks behind the rest of Europe. No explanation of why and in some cases someone had to prompt HTC to enable the update as it just didn't seem to come at all. The trouble is HTC support will give you some nonsense about enabling 50,000 phones at a time in batches. This is absolutely untrue, but they are stuck with that line and you won't get anywhere. Something changed/broke from back then and has never got fixed since....bizarre.
[One (M7) General] Adails:
I bought a payg handset from O2 (UK) the other day and after having seen this thread I decided to check for updates. I was quite surprised when it returned with an update prompt.

EDIT: Scrap that. My bad it's 1.29.206.11.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
that's the new update, the middle 3 numbers are just the carrier and/or Country variation, the first 3 and last 2 are the important identifiers.

[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Just to clarify my previous post about something wrong at HTC with the UK updates, I was referring to the unbranded SIM free versions. Of course the SIM free should be earlier or at least in parallel with the branded updates, but since the 3rd firmware update of the HTC One X, this is no longer happening.

It doesnt really make sense. But I think you mean if your phone will get updated when the carriers does? It will get updated when HTC chose to which will be before the carrier. Not sure if it will be before the unbranded international devices though.

Comparison before and after update

I did a few shots to compare pictures before and after the update using two devices held next to each other so the distance to the object is always the same.

Hmm. Try setting sharpness to -1. Also looks like it might be focused on that palm closest to you, throwing everything else a touch out of focus. Try manually tapping to focus on something further off like the Uhaul truck or apartments furthest away.

[One (M7) General] skibadee:
Is the detail level improved in new firmware. I really like the ones other features but the s4 camera details look much better when zooming in on pics?
[One (M7) General] rovex:
Its a 4MP camera, it will never compete in that way with a 13MP camera. Of course the 13MP unit would have to be in focus otherwise its wasted pixels, this is where the One camera wins in many situations, its faster shutter means it can capture fast motion or low light. In daylight with slow moving objects the S4 will win.
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
I wouldn't say the S4 will win by far though .. the camera in the S4 is supposed to be **** compared to what other 13mpx sensors can do
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
Although I agree that the One has an overall better camera, I LOLed read hard reading this post. Faster shutter doesn't take better low light shots. Everything else equal, a faster shutter only gives you darker images. And I don't think the One has faster shutter than the S4, whether it is the actual shutter speed or shutter lag, there is no info in this and I don't think any one has compared the two in this way.

Now I understand why HTC has to invent names like "ultrapixel". People are really ridiculously ignorant about how camera works.
[One (M7) General] rovex:
Actually it was a bad edit. I cropped out a section and meant to put it back in. The size of the pixels means it can do good motions shots (due to capturing more light it doesn't need the shutter open so long), AND it can do low light.

I do believe EXIF data has been compared and the One does take shots with a shorter exposure time.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Redacted.
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
Maybe that's what he said. But that's not how it works either.

The bigger pixels in the One sensor don't give you faster shutter or anything like that. The S4 camera can shot in any dark scene that the One's can and NOT result in many completely black photos you see in many review. In general, to be able to shoot photos in dark situation with a quick shutter speed, you need to change to some really high ISO setting. Both the S4 and the One can do that, and with the same exposure and iso (and aperture) settings they will give you an equally bright and blur-less photo, the difference is that the sensor on the S4 will generate a ton more noise the the One's.

That's why they have different "auto" setting created by HTC and Samsung. HTC knowing what the sensor on the One is capable of, tend to be less conservative and picks a higher ISO settings than other manufacturers in the auto setting. With a higher ISO setting you can choose a higher shutter speed and obtain the same amount of light. And that's why the shutter speeds chosen by HTC auto mode are relatively faster.

You can read about the automatic ISO settings comparison in Anandtech review of the One.

In summary, the One's bigger pixels do not give you higher shutter speeds or automatically let you take every photo faster. Snap this sensor onto the S4, suppose for the moment that would work, would still give you yucky low light shots. It takes a lot of work for the manufacturer to understand what the sensor is capable of and what the use case scenarios most users face, in order to come up with an auto mode that takes good photos. And that's why software update can make big difference.

BTW the One also has wider aperture than the S4 and that also helps in low light. But that's the lens part and we are talking about sensors.
[One (M7) General] rovex:
You're splitting hairs here, OK the Samsung could in theory take low light pictures like the One, but would they be acceptable in any way? Its safe to say neither manufacturer has yet optimised the software for their cameras.

[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Shutter speeds from the comparison shots on this page:

http://connect.dpreview.com/post/92...sunggalaxys4-vs-htcone-vs-iphone5-vs-lumia920

HTC One | S4

1/6410 | 1/1856

1/1038 | 1/195

1/7692 | 1/1680

And here's what Anandtech says about night mode on the S4: "Unfortunately night mode introduces huge shot to shot latency that seems to be on the order of seconds". Meanwhile the One is snapping pictures like nobody's business.
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
Nope. ISO setting is a light sensitivity setting. With the same ISO setting, every sensor gets ( in an ideal world ) the same light sensitivity. The advantage of bigger pixel is that the sensor generates less noise. This is a lot more apparent in high ISO setting, which make high ISO settings a lot more usable on the One. It is exactly because HTC cranks up the ISO settings that results in the use of a faster shutter speed.

As I said. All the comparison shots in all these reviews are shot in auto mode. In auto mode, ISO and shutter speed setting are pre-determined by the manufacturers using their own algorithm. HTC knows that it's sensor is capable of generating less noise in higher ISO settings than say the sensor in S4, and so they tuned the auto model such that it would tend to pick a relatively higher ISO setting and thus faster shutter speed. That's why in comparison shots the photos taken by the One usually have a shorter shutter speed (higher ISO setting at the same time), these are all mentioned by Brain Klug in his review on Anantech.

Same ISO setting, same lens aperture setting, to get the same amount of exposure you need the same shutter speed. REGARDLESS of the sensor. This is just how camera works. If there is any reason why with the same ISO setting, the S4 would need a slower shutter speed to get the same exposure level, that's because it has a narrower aperture (F2.2 vs F2.0 on the One). But that's a relatively small difference and that has nothing to do with the sensor. That's the lens.

All in all, the only real advantage the "Ultrapixels" give you is lower noise across the board. With a sensor that generates lower noise, HTC can be a lot more aggressive with ISO and shutter speed settings.
[One (M7) General] ajftl:

[One (M7) General] Terminator19:
I'll just leave this here regarding pixel size..........

http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/does.pixel.size.matter/
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Ok, so is this statement accurate? The bigger pixels allow the One to use a higher ISO without being as noisy as the S4 would be at that ISO, so in turn it doesn't need to expose as long as the S4 to get a shot with a similar amount of noise. All I know is that the One tends to use a shorter exposure / faster shutter speed than the S4.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Also, doesn't the S4 have an f/2.2 lens and the One an f/2.0 lens, meaning more light can get to the One's sensor as well? Doesn't this also allow quicker exposures?
[One (M7) General] voodoochild2008:
Hi.

Has anyone seen a change in video recording since update?

I am on the fence between this and SGS4, the photo update is great but the videos online worry me, the ONE seems to have issues when filming dark to light, or strong light on things, its like a bloody sun spot, lose detail or it takes ages for it to calm down.

At a guess this is because they went for more light let in for low light performance, but it seems to be messing with videos when filming in strong outdoor light.

Look at this from 2.20 in the right side of the street if blinding.
