It is really a good artical to read. Lots of innovation from HTC in smartphone world.

http://pocketnow.com/2013/05/22/imagine-a-world-without-htc

It give lots of history what HTC has accomplished in past, most guy started to use iphone and enter the smart phone world will never know those history.

I do not know that HTC was first to put GPS in the smartphone even I owned O2 device.

In the end of he said

"I’ll admit I’ve made a decision when it comes to the future that I want. You’ll ask, what does my decision have to do with the industry, right? Well, as a matter of fact, each of us defines it as customers. Surely you all know that at Pocketnow we all review phones and therefore, since we always have review units to test, we rarely ever buy devices of our own. That said, I’ve decided to buy an HTC One out of my own money. I do feel HTC deserves it. Surely it may not save HTC, but I hope that my two cents of contribution help."

I'm glad I bought HTC one which is marketable.

What you think? Without HTC in the last 10 years, the XDA will not be so hot place for us at least.

anyone can let me know or moderate to help update the title? I miss one "I" before the magine

I do not want to imagine a world without HTC.

I have owned nothing but HTC since I pre-ordered the G1. Three G1's, 2 G2's, an Amaze, a ONE S and a ONE later, I still can't find anything I prefer over HTC. I know there are other great devices out there but I always end up spending my money on HTC. I almost took the leap on the GS3 but after holding it in person, it just didn't fit for me. I even walked in with every intention of buying one but I walked out with the ONE S and never looked back. I am even sold on Sense 5. I was quite angry about losing vanilla after the G2 but I think Sense 5 fits quite nicely with HTC and it's brand.

Really, HTC has always been a great phone for me and I think it would have been great for others had they known anything about them. How can you compete with a brand that is so diversified like Samsung. They have played the game well and made themselves a household name. Almost everyone has some sort of Samsung product and we tend to stick to what we know and what is shoved down our throat. Us old school guys know what HTC has done for smartphones and Android. The problem is nobody else does.

I hope HTC can pull through this as I am really looking forward to what they can do as the next step from the ONE.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_han_solo:
Hello,

I recently upgraded my Nook color to CyanogenMod 10.1 RC1, and I was wondering if there was an optimized overclocked kernel that is compatible with 10.1.

I have read that a kernel will allow for an overclock and actually lower the voltage which means better battery life. This is what I'm most interested in.

I have used the CyanogenMod Performance settings to set the CPU to 1100Mhz, but it doesn't seem like that he helped my battery life. Honestly, i think it may have hurt it.

Thanks,

Han

[HTC One X+] WasifSal:
So... Due to a low budget.. I've decided i'll settle up to buy a 2nd hand One X+

Which is why i'm asking u the people who have it.

Is it still worth a shot? In my range i can get an SIII (but my brother has one and I LOVE SENSE :P)... or the 1 gig ram is a bit out of its league?

If YES to the above question.... Then i would have to HAND PICK the One X+ from the market 2nd hand... So... Here are my "tests" to check the faults of it (so i can get a PERFECT WORKING phone) .. You see here in Pakistan. People play around with their devices and then sell them off when they're broken... About 80% of the case :/

So here are my tests PLEASE TELL ME IF U WANT ME TO TEST SOMETHING ELSE THAT I HAVE LEFT.

1. Androsensor (app) - for the sensors and their function.

2. Record a video and tap both mics to see if the other is working (saw alot of them having bugs here)

3. Display tester (app) - put it on FULL BRIGHTNESS and check the buggy display.

4. Manually check the scratches etc.

5. Check whether its disassembled or not (how do i do it? :/ )

6. Any other of u suggest :)

Thank you for ur time. :)
[HTC One X+] ace_viknesh:
First, check if the phone lags, i.e., the lock screen should pop up with less than under 1.5s or 2s. If that happens, it means that the CPU is able to cope with the previous owner's usage and is still in a good shape. Multi-task apps. If the phone stutters during multi-tasking, put it down and test out another X+. DO NOT BUY THE S3! The S3 uses a processor which will lag over time. I've tried and I know it. Good Luck!:fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X+] WasifSal:
Thanks alot :) can you please answer a few more :) would really appreciate it :)

1. I've heard there's this Wi-Fi problem with the One X+ devices (or was it the One X?). That the antenna on the back casing wasnt stable and rigid... However the newer versions had the problem fixed.. Is there any way to check the build version? :) of the HARDWARE.?

2. The "Screen Flickering"? It was fixed in the newer versions... Or is it that the display becomes old?
[HTC One X+] panwala95:
You are wrong sir

The s3 has a better gpu and software under the hood

Also the s3 will get better support and faster (and more updates)

+ it has a better camera
[HTC One X+] WasifSal:
Yeah but my brother also has one :p his stuff is practically mine actually xD

So i was considering something other than the SIII :)

Any ways

Back to those 2 questions :)

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeam:
My HD+ of late has become more and more sluggish and sometimes becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. It hangs when opening an app, a book or while browsing the web. I am using the updated stock 2.1. Checking the RAM, I was surprised to see free RAM as low as 80MB. Killing apps running in the background does not help much. The internal memory is only 40% full. I am at a loss to understand what is going on. Has anybody else noticed this ? Should I wipe it clean and start again ? My device is not rooted. Any advice regarding backing up would be helpful.

Thanks

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I ran into this, but seemed to be due to going under 3gb of storage. The HD+ does not seem to like going under that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cozumelstu:

I was having similar issue so I started looking at apps that weren't exactly Nook approved. I removed an HD wallpaper app and my Nook was healed.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeam:
I am using Nova launcher from day 1 and the performance has deteriorated over time, so I cannot blame it. It could be an app hogging the memory. I have to kill a lot of processes to make it functional. I routinely get the message about the program not responding irrespective of which app I have opened. Even the browser (chrome, ICS) just crashes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamus28:
So after booting up my new HD+ for the first time today, and letting it update to 2.1, it was extremely slow... Slower than my 600mhz HTC aria. I tried rebooting again and installing apex. i have google sync disabled.

Then I force stopped "Home" and cleared its data. The tablet runs better, even when using B&N Home launcher.

its still not as fast as the dual core should be. I wish there was a way to reduce or disable animations in developer options.

I may try CM10.1
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdatoast:
I'll add my name to those seeing lag since the update to 2.1. I'll try this and see if I get improvment. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamus28:
My tablet is running at a more satisfactory speed since I froze/disabled a bunch of bn apps, ditched apex, and use lightning launcher/zeam with full!screen. I also used spareparts+ to set animation transitions to fast.

Just don't make the mistake I made first of uninstalling twitter or chrome. All your hard work will reset.

I may make a symlinked build prop and play with this.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40961

It worked on my htc one s with similar specs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamus28:
So I adjusted the heapgrowthlimit and heapsize.

The stock settings were at 96M and 160M respectively. I don't know what they were pre-2.1

I changed a symlinked buildprop to 64 and 384.

So it feels a bit snappier. Could be placebo, but it's definitely not slower. If anyone else tries adjusting these let me know what you think.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
I checked and found verygreen's CM10.1 rom (emmc) has 64 and 256. It is very snappy.

It's not apple to apple comparison as CM10.1 is based on Android 4.2.2.

I'm surprised stock has only 160M though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
The killer for me is the library sync process. I disabled the app, but it still does its thing. When a game or app slows down, it is when the sync starts. It is random, but should only be when the device is turned on, or when content is changed. The way they set it up makes no sense.

Restarting the device still shows the app disabled, but still syncs.

There also appears to be a lag that happens and is only fixed by a restart, but that is not as common as the sync issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
That is one of the reasons that led me to replace the stock rom with CM10.1 on emmc. It is much better than the stock rom...

I really do not need that library having both Google Play and Amazon App store. I also have the Nook App which works just fine with CM10.1.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Even after clearing cashe and removing large data games, my HD+ was still acting sluggish. Based on the apps running in the background, no rogue apps seems to be causing it. No games beyond small ones were playing smooth and would randomly studder. Flash content also was making the device run very hot.

I boxed the HD+ up for return. Not sure what the issue is, but probably is 2.1, since the chipset should be fine. I might exchange for another and start from scratch with 10.1... Not sure at the moment. Were it not for the lag and odd heat issues, I would keep the device. Perhaps 10.1 is the answer, but

my return window ends soon.

I feel bad, since when I first got the device, it worked fine and doubted people that said the lag is there and common. They were right and I was wrong, so would be nice if 10.1 fixes the issues.

Added: Though my Excite 7.7 is a lot faster overall, I miss the HD+ display already.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
I was able to play Dungeon Hunter 4 on CM10.1 and it seems to be okay. Web browsing is also very smooth. Flash does make it quite hot but same as my HTC Amaze Android phone so I'm used to it.

However, The HD+ is definitely not perfect, once in a long while (maybe like once in 2-3 days) the touch UI may become unresponsive.

That can be fixed by turning off and turning back on the display. Also I had screen flickering in settings screen(black background) under CM10.1 RC2. I have since flashed the latest RC4 and the flickering is gone. I have not tested it long enough to see if it still has the same UI problem.

Sorry for your bad experience. I am keeping the HD+ for myself but would not buy it for gifts because I know it has some issues that are not easy to fix without modification. And not everyone wants or has time to mod a tablet.

Update:

Just ran another Vellamo HTML5 benchmark and scored 1899 with CM10.1 RC4...very impressive.

On stock it was 1378 and I had 1379 on Nexus 7. Of course, benchmark may not be 100% indicative of daily operations.

Web browsing seems to be at least on par with Nexus 7, though. With the bigger screen it is definitely a more pleasant experience.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeam:
It seems that there is a big difference in benchmarks and actual performance, at least for some individual devices. I tried everything including CM10, orginal stock and the latest stock. Each time it would be fine initially and then gradually slow down to become unresponsive. I 'killed' processes, background apps frequently to make it usable but that ought not to be the way for regular use. I play no games except occasional spider solitaire. The main use was web browsing and reading books. I also have a samsung 7plus tab which did not suffer from any of these issues and became my go to device. So for now, its THANKS to the developers and goodbye Nook via ebay.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
The 4470 for browser marks is faster than the Tegra 3. At least that is what Anandtech shows.

I took mine back to Best Buy, but do miss the display. Played MAME reloaded great. Seems any game that retrieves data on the fly has issues with stuttering with 2.1 at least. The reason I think this, is small games do not have the issue, nor does MAME which loads the games into memory to play. No on the fly data access.

Still tempted to get another and try 10.1 from the start. Even after a reset, 2.1 had the issues with games and other apps where my Excite 7.7 is smooth. In the Nooks defence, the TF300 is not real smooth either. A little better than the Nook HD+, but slower with MAME. Nook ruled with MAME.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
Just curious...did you try CM10 or 10.1. Also did you run it on SD card or emmc?

I didn't like CM10 at all and tried CM10.1 on SD card at first. The SD card performance simply sucks. It is only good for experiments not for any serious usage in my opinion. (Had poor benchmark results worse than stock, too.)

I tried CM10.1 RC2 and RC4 on emmc mainly for reading and web browsing. Both worked great.

Although I was able to play Dungeon Hunter 4, (from the start to boss fight) I believe I get a bit better frame rates on Nexus 7.

It's playable on Nook HD+ at reasonable frame rates but not super fast.(looks much better due to bigger screen)

I did not have any io issues likely because Dungeon Hunter 4 load all contents into memory up front in each area.

When I transition to a different area I did notice a temporary lag---must be from the loading of new data.

There is one trade-off with CM10.1 which is that the free gems supported by ads do not work.

I installed promotional apps but the gems never show up on the Nook HD+. That's not the case with Nexus 7.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeam:
I actually started using the Nook HD+ with CM10 on SD. The primary reason for buying it was the active developer community. I chose CM 10 over 10.1 as it was considered more stable than 10.1. Initial experience was great. However, I found that the the stock was better for battery life and for the sleep function with shutting the case. Then I updated the stock with the latest version and gradually the device became slower irrespective of using CM 10 or stock. I did not move to installing CM 10.1 on emmc as by then I had decided to sell the device. Again, not being a 'gamer' the great screen resolution and other specs was less important than battery life and responsiveness on browsing for the way I used the device. Like most things in life, I am sure there is a right 'one' for each one of us.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Battery life for what it was mainly intended (reading stuff and light apps) is great, but playing Flash and 3D games seems to be the main killer. Playing local video was good too. Since I am a gamer to some degree, the stutter from any game that loads data bugged me. No other Android device I have does this. The TF300 has issues with multitasking, but games do not stutter.

I think the issue is 2.1, but perhaps they cut corners with ram and flash speed? This would explain the stutter and the slooow load time for games like Asphalt 7. Even 108mb size pak files for Quake 2 loaded slowly. Almost ten times slower than my other devices. A few seconds or less on the other devices.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
Thanks for sharing. I work in IT and one of my responsibilities is performance tuning. (also I'm very interested in it being a former presales engineer.) So I always wanted to find the root cause. Since you were running CM10 on SD, I can totally understand the poor performance.

I also encountered very bad performance(including benchmark results) when running both CM10 and 10.1 on SD card.

I believe it was mostly caused by the SD card.

The CPU is weak and 1920x1280 resolution kills the battery life. Much stronger CPU/GPU are required to drive the high resolution in 3D games. Nexus 7 has 4 cores(and a 5th battery saver core) so it is to be expected that 3D games would run better on Nexus 7.

In multiple benchmarks it is clear that Nexus 7 leads the Nook HD+ on CPU performance by far but IO(disk) performance is actually comparable.

(take Antutu for example, 566 vs 555, almost identical) I ran 3D benchmark Nook is 20% slower in FPS from Nexus 7.

On web browsing Nook HD+ is actually the same or better than Nexus 7 with CM10.1. (removing all the unnecessary overhead in stock rom)

Also I suspect the tuning parameters could have been set differently in stock and CM10.1. I didn't compare but the reality is that you can't always run in full performance while also having the longest battery life.

Fast response, higher resolution = more battery consumption, more heat

Long battery life = relatively slow or big battery and/or relatively less heat

I'm actually surprised DH4 would be playable on Nook HD+, it is a 1GB game with lots of data and animation.

I have stopped playing it, though. I bought Nook mainly for reading and Web. My goal was to read e-books instead to save space and maybe some trees.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Larger data games load slow, but play fine overall (random stutter aside). MW3, Nova 3 and the GTA games are examples. They play smooth, but stutter occasionally, without a set pattern other than apparent data access. This and games that load into memory without apparent data access suggests there is another bottleneck going on. Perhaps an issue due to slow flash or memory channel issues. This would also explain the very slow loading of a lot of apps and games that are bigger than 50mb. I notice a huge load speed difference, even compared to the TF300. The Excite 7.7 is the fastest device for loading I have used. Strange, considering a Tegra 3 like the TF300.

The more I think about it, I am getting another HD+. Makes a great comic reader, movie player and game emulator device (especially at $180). Even with 2.1. Will probably start though from scratch with 10.1.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
I remembered there is one scenario in DH4 that would lead to stutter. It is very consistent and not random at all. That is when there are a large number of monsters and animations on the same screen. Especially there is one type of monster that would spawn additional monsters with special animations. My solution was to quickly eliminate the monster with animation and the frame rate would go back to normal. Nook is definitely not a device for high end games if you expect smooth performance. I think it would run fine with games like Chaos Rings that have beautiful graphics but only limited animations. The games you listed seem to be more demanding than Nook can handle...
