Actually, with both set on auto-off and max brightness, the HTC One is brighter. The difference is greater on full screen white (since the S4 is power limited), but it still there with a mostly black screen. I've compared my wife's HTC One to my S4, side by side.

While I do definitely prefer the S4's screen, I do admit, the HTC One is definitely brighter.

Side note though: It's nice to see that the HTC One doesn't have the the LCD polarization issue that many other phones have. You can view the screen just fine in both orientations with polarized sunglasses on. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Really? I've done this numerous times with a friends phone or store phones and I found the opposite. Odd.

And yes I compare white screens and black screens. Obviously black screen on the S4 is totally black vs a lighted kind of black screen on the HTC but the whites were brighter on the S4.

Here's a picture with just over 50% white.

HTC One: Auto brightness off,full bright

S4: Auto brightness off, full bright, screen mode adapt display set to off, screen set on dynamic (which is the brightest)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Ya I'm not sure what's going on there but that's nothing like what I see. That S4 looks so dull and almost blue. Maybe the ROM you have is not letting it go full bright. I know mine is hard to look at with full brightness it's so bright. Same with my girlfriends S4. I'll try to take a pic as well next time I'm near a one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
It looks like the stock browser brightness is on auto. By default its on and dull.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] apexcell:
Yeah, I didn't bother to do color correction on that picture since I thought we were only talking about brightness.

Here's one with some color correction done. Same full-brightness settings.

As you can see, the HTC is still brighter, and still leans more towards purple. It renders shadow detail a tad bit better (check out the bushes near the upper right)

The S4 has noticeably richer colors and deeper blacks. Areas like the roof of the building get blown out in the HTC, but are crisp and colorful on the S4.

Don't get me wrong, both are painfully bright in this medium ambient lighting. The HTC is definitely a tad bit brighter though. It has a bit better sunlight legibility, though both are pretty far from things like the iPhone 5 (not surprising, since the iP5 has over 200 nits higher brightness).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
After reading that article I may be able to explain why I've seen the S4 have a brighter screen. When you put the phone into manual mode it is actually not as bright as if in auto mode while in a ambient bright setting. Its a software setting to save power.

Maybe this is something that can be hacked to stop the throttling of brightness in manual?

I was helping a friend to unlock his phone, and I accidentally delete nv_data.bin and dont have a backup. I know the original imei, is therea way to regenerate the imei? If I dont have backup. Please if somebody know i need help :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Try one clicking back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lorddavid:
ok, i will download in my house, but, i was reading that one clicking dont touch the efs partition, and that file was there :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Was the phone on gingerbread or ICS/JB? If it wasn't on gingerbread (Assuming it was a rom not based on CM7) you'll be able to restore the files by using a one click
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lorddavid:
the rom is in 2.2.1. Thats ok? I download T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.

So, if I use it, this will restore the nv_data.bin? I ask before doing anything because i have fear of make the this worse :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Yes it will. Keep in mind that it will also factory reset your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lorddavid:
I do it and gave me a imei thats only 000000000000000.

I insert the sim and work, But, this will give problems in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
No it won't. lol The OP is already on a BML partition structure. That trick only works if you loose it switching over to MTD.

Sorry OP your IMEI is gone and short of some fancy hex editing their is no way to get it back. Your phone will still work with zeros but data might be an issue. If you wanna try the hex edit way look in the dev thread for OLD unlock threads. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lorddavid:
So, i will have issue with 3g data or something like that?

I see a way that i can input the imei with a z3x box i think, and in my city there is someone with that box, that can work?

i search and only found: ;

I have. Bluetooth audio is distorted in my car with the HTC One. Really a pain in the butt since now I have to use the Aux cable and can't skip songs using the controls on my deck.

The S2, S3, and Note2 all worked fine with my car. :crying:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Whompasaurus with the new stock kernel that fixes sensitivity is working fine with Bluetooth audio streaming. Been blasting since this morning
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TheRectified:
Did Whompasaurus come with the kernel or did you flash it after the fact?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
I may, because the phone tends to get "stuck" on 1X or 3G and refuse to go to 3G or 4G even if there is a strong signal available. I usually have to toggle data to fix it and it's getting annoying. Other phones, including the S4, do not seem to have this problem.

Apart from that the One is pretty much flawless, so I'm just waiting until the end of the 14 days to see if the irritation of constantly switching data off and on gets to me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Whomp comes with .7 stock as well as wolfpack. I flashed the newest stock, .10, after. Custom kernels have bluetooth issues
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TheRectified:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] painkillaz:
Not at all...this is actually the first phone I haven't had any issues with. Not even considering rooting right now just b/c everything works...HTC One ftw
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Marcm15:
Had the S4 for less then a week before I brought it back and exchanged it for the ONE. Best decision I have made during my 14 years with Sprint. Didn't like the feel or performance (in my area) of the S4 at all. Lots of reception issues, dropped calls etc. Plus the phone just felt "cheap"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Fadakar:
I get this too, glad I'm not the only one. Bush league ****, I can't believe a problem like this got through HTC's QC.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dandan2980:
Try updating your prl and profile I was stuck just one time and that did the trick this is a sprint issue not HTC
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] PandaNuclearAttack:
Would never switch to the s4, I have used the s4 extensivly. I updated to viper 1.1.0 and no issues with the back and home button anymore, big thanks to viperboy for all his work. Also a huge factor for me is the front speakers, makes the whole phone experience that much better.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bmoreboy02:
I have both. Im using the s4 but still play with the htc one. I bought both off craigslist for a really good price. They are both amazing phones. I cant decide which to keeo. I love the sexy design of the htc one. The speakers are amazing and i love the music app. I really love fact it downloads the cover art automatically. Then the S4. I love the bigger screen. I love touchwiz. I love the fact it has more features. I looooove the meny button being stationary and not different places dependin on what app your using. The fact is there both amazing phones. I think samsung listened to the consumers complaints about the s3 and note 2 and did its best to put out a product wed all love. I think htc listened to the complaints about tue htc one and the one x and did there best. I lean towards the galaxy only bc all my tablets are samsung and my fiance has the s4 so im just more comftorable with touch wiz. But the htc is super quick very snappy if you know what i mean lol. Uuuughhhhhh which one do i keep!!!!! Lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
Did both of those at least a dozen times, but the issues are still present. It may be a sprint problem, but it only affects the One. My old HTC Arrive did not have these issues, and neither do the s3 or s4.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
Try repairing at the longest possible distance while the car is running so it hunts for the best BT channel. Start far enough away so that it fails. Then get closer until it works.

Bluetooth works great for me, finally since it was awful on the EVO 4G LTE. Only problem is voice command prompt volume is too low.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TheRectified:
Huh.... I'll have to give this a shot.

Does any one know of any programs that monitor the Bluetooth connection so I can see if it changes channels or even something where I can force it to change?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kc_exactly:
I have been having the same issue with the LG Optimus G here in KC. It is a network issue. It is how the phone trades off between 3G and 4G. I will be on 3g and my wife is on 4g at the same time. There shouldn't be a difference between S4 and One. They have the same modem.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pbedard:
Already did and I'm happy
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pyperkub:
First one to 64GB on Sprint gets my business (for the S4, that means 64GB +64GB SD Card).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] swaze:
Well you probably don't want to hold your breath if you want a S4 like you referred to above. There will be pigs flying long before you see one of those on sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pyperkub:
You're probably right, but I've got some serious gadget lust right now. I've been on my Epic 4g for 2.5 years, and CM 10.1 isn't cutting it for me right now - bluetooth is too wonky with my car, and there's some other funkyness that has me ready to just 86 it.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AndreiLux:
Got this item off Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-me...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3cd1b4718b

It surprised me since it's the first time ever I saw an actually ergonomic metal backcover, not those ****ty plastic edged ones where you only have metal on the flat surface.

Pictures say more than words:

Conclusion:

Pros:

The thing has a very good feel to it, it's very solid, much better than the stock plastic one.

Super cheap, I got mine for $9 shipped.

Cons:

The white plastic trim showing from the plastic undercover is something I did not expect since it was not visible at all on the Ebay listing, it doesn't look well. You could colour it with a marker, but it's still a negative from the plastic undercover + aluminium clam design.

It's 0.59mm thicker. You actually do notice the added thickness while holding the device.

It's heavier, about more than twice the weight of the stock plastic cover.

Signal strength gets a huge dip while having the cover on. This is the most negative point of all, people with medium signal might not want to use this at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] swieder711:
Thanks for the great pics and review. The loss of signal strength is the deal killer for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
If GPS status and toolbox isn't showing you locking onto any satellites and you have GPS enabled, I think you might have a hardware issue.

You might also try installing other apps (such as radarNow) from the play store and see if they can successfully use the GPS or not.

[General Questions and Answers] sweaver32:
I have a Galaxy S III from AT&T and am considering moving to T-Mobile, I know several people who have it in my area and have good service, also I can have my phone and wife's phone with unlimited everything for roughly what I am paying for one phone on AT&T with limits, so seems like a good idea.

T-Mobile lets you bring phones from other GSM services and their website says the GS3 is supported, but I am curious to hear from anyone who has done this and if they had any issues when they did it. Also once switched over would I be able to get OTA updates from T-Mobile (like the 4.1.2 update) or would there be some hangup because it was originally an AT&T phone?

Hi !

I want to find .NET Framework to install in my XDA, but I don't know where to got it? Before I use RUU 3.17.xx EN and after I make a configuration for the cellular provider, and it is already installed in my XDA automatically. Then I changed the RUU version to RUU 3.20.06 EN. The configuration doesn't include O2 provider in the dropdown list, so when I finish my configuration and do the soft-reset, but I can't find .NET Framework installed in my XDA like the previous version of RUU.

Note: RUU 3.17.xx EN, I got it from O2 web site, but RUU 3.20.06 I got it from yorch.net web site.

Ok, some more question, please !

What is the different between SD and MMC Card, and how do we know the speed of them? Which one should I make a decision to use it? Sorry, I really don't understand about it.
