It's not widespread, I've got 2 HTC ones and both have zero dead pixels.

With a device there are millions of in the world you have to expect a few lemons . If you found 50 people with dead pixels on their LCD you're still not "widespread".
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] socalnative1:
I had a dead pixel on my first HTC one went and exchanged it no problem. I haven't had an issue with my phone ever since. I'm with every one else you are just looking for a reason to switch.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Paleryder:
Actually they look to be stuck on a color! there are programs you can run to fix that and if it persists i would exchange it. The S4 is NOT a better phone take a few to look at the reviews, lag , cheap quality etc just lets all calm down.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
You really don't get the concept of reporter bias, do you? The population of people who post on forums tend to be the most vocal in their complaints. HTC has sold millions of these phones, and you're going to claim "this problem is very widespread" based on a skewed sample? Please go take some statistics classes.

By that token, I shouldn't have gotten my Galaxy Nexus, my Nexus 10, my Nexus 7, my Transformer TF300T, my iPad 3, my Galaxy Tab 10.1, or my HP TouchPad. Or even my Galaxy Player 4.0.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cac9478:
Went to the Sprint store and with the manager went through 4 NIB HTC One's. All of them had at least 4 stuck pixels, the worst one had over 10. Had him grab me an S4, and as expected, not a single stuck or dead pixel. I, like many, thought the One was going to be the phone that would bring HTC back into the game, but unfortunately that is not the case. You all go ahead and keep defending your purchase, but I can guarantee if you look close enough there are some stuck pixels on your screen. I am now the proud owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S4, and while the speaker quality may not be as good, it's still better than a screen that looks like the Milky Way Galaxy. I don't need statistics classes to tell me the display on that phone is a POS.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] finalhit:
Took me three tries to get an decent HTC one. And even then I had to settle with some gaps because I didn't want to risk dead pixels.

I agree with the quality control issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
I'd say trolling, but you're really just a joke at this point. You can guarantee that my phone has issues? You've crossed from being an angry buyer to outright silly. Color cycling my screen shows no dead pixels. I've actually never had any dead pixels of any kind, on any device I've own-- maybe it's because I take care of my device?

It's comical how fast you run from accepted statistical practice. After all, if your evidence is terrible, why try to play the game with facts?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cac9478:
Grab yourself a magnifying class, you will be amazed by what you find!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
Done. Now what exactly was that supposed to prove, or was it just another snide attempt to prove that there's something wrong with my device? Oh, right, you can't. Go over to the GS4 forums-- it's a great phone, and you might actually be useful there, as opposed to your current failboating here.

If you're going to try and show off your mighty wit and intellect, at least do it right.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cac9478:
You're right I can't prove that there is something wrong with your phone, but just the same you can't prove that there is not.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
...that is possibly the most spectacularly useless, immature post I've ever seen here on XDA, and that's after dealing with samwheat over in the Nexus 10 forums. "I know I can't prove I'm right, but you can't prove me wrong!"

Seriously, go to a forum where you can contribute. This thread has proved one thing: you got a lemon, saw a few more lemons, saw that the Internet had seen a few lemons, and then gave up. People do that, and that's fine, but petulantly trying to prove that everyone else who owns the phone is either deluded or also owns a lemon is just pathetic.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cac9478:
You can try and discredit me all you want. And who knows, maybe you did get a phone with no screen problems. But judging by what I have seen, I will continue to support the idea that this issue is widespread and that it affects more phones than it doesn't. All this post was intended to do was inform of a potential problem with this phone, and I have done that. Hopefully people looking to purchase this phone will consider this, and people who have already purchased, are now enlightened to this problem. If you are going to try disprove my claim, you will need a lot more evidence than just your word.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] teamrealtree:
Just checked mine. Not a single dead pixel. Man this problem is wide spread... Then again I'd rather have a few dead pixel than have a Samsung and an amoled screen

Dang I hope you see this wide spread problem on the S4.

You know, that would be a whole lot more profound if you 1) dropped the self-serving mantle of "defender of the people." You announce this thread essentially to get on a soapbox about your move to the GS4 and expect to be commended for bringing enlightenment to the people. Pardon while I die of laughter.

2) It would also work if you had any evidence other than "your word." Besides, as the person making the assertion that the "problem" is widespread, it's hardly my job to prove your claim. Get a grip on yourself before you become an even bigger laughingstock.

Personally miss some of the deep blacks you can get with a good SAMOLED, but I have enough of them that I don't miss it too much. :P

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
Hmmm a few to no dead pixel chance or a chance to crack the entire LCD and get no display at all with only slight pressure on it such as having the phone in ur pocket??? Want me to buy u a man purse??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Alex1123:
Well I've had dead pixels on three of the ones I've used and the one I have currently seems to have something stuck under the glass my experience with Samsung devices has always been zero dead or stuck pixel that's from my Samsung moment to galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus galaxy s3 and galaxy note 2 maybe the amoled screen are just less prone to it but anyways LCD screens usually have a few dead or stuck pixel it's fairly normal really
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bbedward:
my first One had 2 nearly impossible to detect dead pixels, I exchanged it for one that doesn't have any (I inspected it closely) - and the 2 store models I looked at didn't have any either.

So by the OPs logic, 25% of all HTC Ones in the world have dead pixels because 1/4 of the ones I looked at had one :p

Well played, but I'm pretty sure the truth is much simpler. OP is just a umad bro type.

HI,

I'm new to this forum and new to the phone, I've ordered mine.

Although I'm fairly tech savvy, I am a web developer, middle level technically proficient in VBA and so forth...

I ordered and decided on this phone because of the PDA, Organiser, pocket pc and of course the phone.. basically all that is advertised.

But i'm beginning to have serious and grave concerns.. can people of this forum enlighten me..

The importtant feature of this phone for me beside being a phone is:

1. can it competentnly and reliabley syn with outlook

2. is there any issues with Excel as I will be using quite a bit of this on the road...

I won't have time or inclination to mess wtih the code or add new stuff. as i need this phone for mission critical business needs and hence can't have it bneing unrealible...

i hope i havne't made the wrong decision to embrace technology (although I know some of the more complidcated features or nifty features may have isssues)....

is this phone worth while and does what it says it does? or have i wasted a lot money
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bassey:
It synchs brilliantly with Outlook (I'm synching at home with Outlook 2003 and at work with Outlook XP\Exchange), way better than any other smartphone - mainly symbian - that I've ever used.

The Excel is good (if not brilliant). It works as advertised. Whether it will be suitable for you depends on what you want to use it for. It doesn't contain all the functions of the full excel, though it always surprises me just how many of the more obscure functions it does contain (PMT is the most important function I use, and is included). However, if you are looking to use Excel for graphs and charts etc, then you are going to be disappointed.

Anyway, if you've ordered it, you usually get a 14 day cooling off period during which you can return for a full refund.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] chiark:
Excel isn't bad, but if you're working on advanced spreadsheets then you should definitely look at PlanMaker from Softmaker.de. This is a simply stunning package that is what Excel should be...

Cheers,

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ticc888:
thanks for the review.. one other thing.. noise when hangs u

i've heard from other users that there is a notceable and unpleasant tone when it hangs up..

man.. the amount of issues that is raised, itrs so bloody scary, can this phone still be used as a phone?

some have raised issues of not receiving even a call or an sms...

this wholly defeatst he purpose of this device entirely!!

can people comment? under what circumstances does it not work, are many people messing with the phone with installing new software or what?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rayt:
Well I am a heavy user of my XDAII. I use it for txt, voice call, excell, powerpoint, word, acrobat, games, and too much of the Windows Media.

I compressed the Video Karaoke VCD's or DVD's to my SD. I always sync with avantgo. I use Internet Explorer to view or approve transactions in our Office Linux Web based ERP solution wirelessly via bluetooth.

I still recieve my messages and calls so don't worry. But remeber, be a smart user. Since this is a Windows platform, you have to Soft Reset after openning a lot of applications or install the Omega One Battery Pack Software to end unwanted or running applications so that you do not have to perform a soft reset.

I hanged up 2x in my early experience with this device because I used up most of the internal memory. I learned my lesson now that all apps must be installed in the external memory.

I always made sure that I have 60 mb free of internal memory so that it will not hang anymore. This 60 mb free serves as the working memory of my running programs or apps.

Hope this info will be useful to you.

we're sending ours back - it is no good as a phone, and crashes too often

I have 2 XDAII, 1 for me and 1 for my wife. We are both heavy users and so far no problems.

Are we just lucky or what?

Another thing if you only want a phone then this device is not for you. The XDA is an overkill if you only intend to use it as a phone.

For me I treat my XDA more as a Portable Personal Computer (Pocket PC) that happens to have a cellular phone capability.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rayt:
Additional comments. If you are a comfortable user of Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP and understand the Operating System very much, then the XDAs is for you.

If you hate Windows and prefer Linux or Mac OS then you better use Palm Treo, Sony Ericcson P900 or 910i., or other Symbian OS.

Windows Mobile based Smartphones or PDA phones to me are for advance users who understand the system very much. Otherwise you will keep on complaining that it is hanging, crashing, slowing down, etc.

My wife also give me these problems before so I have to teach or train her how to understand the Windows System. Now she is on the advance type of user and does not give me headaches anymore.

Personally I have tried the Nokias, the Sony Ericssons, and the Treos. I was never satisfied by those devices as the applications were limited based on my usage and other interface in the office. I have to use 3rd party solutions just to make them work. Some of them specially the Nokias simply won't work.

In fact I work with Sharp and our Linux based PDA takes a lot of tweaking to work with our system and it has no GSM phone capability. So Sharp decided to switch to Windows platform so that Zaurus will sell.

Personally I will not exchange my XDA II or any Windows Platform PDAphones to other devices.

My XDAII easily integrated with our system without any 3rd party solutions. Remember we are using Linux in the office and the XDA II is connected to the system via bluetooth.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bassey:
I have to agree with rayt, there are enough people around (myself included) who are using these devices day in day out without any problems (other than the occasional, well documented, bluetooth glitch) to show that the device is fine.

I really do struggle to understand the mentality of some of the people on this forum who have spent weeks and weeks complaining about how awful their devices are.

All they have to do is perform a hard reset and use the device for a couple of days in a clean state. If it doesn't crash anymore, then the problem was third party software or how it was set up. If the problem persists, it's a faulty unit and should be returned for a replacement. It's that simple. It's almost as if they enjoy being a victim!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rayt:
Thank you! If your bluetooth glitch is hotsync or internet pass through, I made a solution for this. Go to this link at, http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=13387&highlight=.

I made a detailed instruction for the bluetooth. In fact my XDA is a virgin, meaning the OS is a factory original with 1.66.00WWE.

I dropped my XDA on the concrete floor 5 times already by accident so far no hang-ups except for external housing scratches.

any more tips and tricks welcome! feeling better now!

Yes, thanks oh so much for all your comments and tips and tricks,

I'd appreciate anyone posting to give some advice on how to use this,

so as i understand, install only programs on external memory,

keep it clean, don't mess about too often and use soft reset or download a software as one suggested....

I was beginning to feel very worried, that htis is some large rip off given its a huge pie in the sky ask for a company to put together what everybody is now thinking.. convering pda, phone, pc.... i know they are trying to break grounds, but heck, the stories we here on this forum,

its like its a unmerchanable product.. and a class lawsuit should be preppared....

keep the tips going
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] zairyaab:
if you know how to use desktop windows xp then you should automatically know how to use the xda II and as far as keeping it clean is concerned if you wanna really keep it clean then you should buy a sd or mmc memory chip and install your programs on that so that your pda remains with full memory and does not get slowed down and stuff....

regards

jeetz
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rayt:
Re: any more tips and tricks welcome! feeling better now!

It is not an unmerchanable product! And a lawsuit must not be abused and unnecessary.

I have to remind that the product is not for everybody and I have to repeat again that it is intended for advanced users, Techie, or IT literate people.

You said that you were a web developer and in VBA. Now I want to ask you a question, can you name any Phone other than Windows powered that can run your VBA scripts? If there are any I will be glad to try them again.

I am not a loyal Microsoft User or Developer as I am also into Unix, Linux, and Mac OS. It only happened that my XDA solved my problems in the office without any 3rd party applications or tweaking.

I think this discussion is going somewhere else like what the EU government is doing to Windows. They sued MS because of the many funtionality and usefullness of windows like the antitrust case in the US.

Now tell me are you willing to buy the Windows Reduced Media Functionality because of what the government said so or are you willing to stand or go for a System that is complete and inovative at athe same price?

If you don't like it return it and don't insist on it. Buy another PDAPHONE device with a different platform like Symbian, Linux, or Palm OS and try your applications. Only then you will know that the Windows Platform is the right choice and is not a ripoff.

I sold my Nokias, Sony Ericcsons, and Treos as they did not work or fit for our systems in and outside the office.

The last 3 phones can't even perform my Hobbies done in VBA. These hobbies are satellite tracking, planet tracking, astronomy, and anything related to the solar system. These hobies run on my XDAs and my XDA tells me the weather conditin 5 days in advance.

[HTC Rezound] im_high_tech:
I text a fair amount, and yesterday while texting my friend, my Rezound decided to not open up the messages within the stock messaging app. It just says "loading" whenever I receive a message.

Things I've tried.

1) Pulling Battery

2) Clearing app cache

3) Clearing Dalvik

4) Flashing different kernel

5) Deleting all messages

6) Install different messaging app.

Deleting all messages seems to work, but I want to retain my original messages. Installing a new messaging app also seems to work. But I really like the stock one. Any help?

Viral OTA, sense 3.6

ROM ran perfectly for the past 4 months.
[HTC Rezound] zekemo:
HTC sense has an odd bug with handling large amounts of texts. You can use gosms pro to read and send texts but it comes down to the limitations of the sense message app. CM10.1 has a message app that handles large amounts of texts, but I'm not sure it would run on sense

Hey guys!

I currently have a AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that I just got today. I got it in an AT&T version because my dads friend owns a store where he cells electronics so he sold me a unlocked version of the phone.

Now, the phone seems fine. Its unlocked, got it at a very cheap price (around $500 then T-Mobiles $750), and it can run T-Mobile 4G/LTE but the ROM is based on the AT&T version.

I was wondering if I can have a clean copy of a the T-Mobile version to replace it (or should i just stick with the AT&T version)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If you look through the AT&T section, there are guides showing how to flash any carrier's S4 ROMs. As long as you follow the correct procedure for the AT&T locked bootloader, you can flash any GS4 ROM available; with the exception of the international i9500. It is OK to flash i9505 ROMs, but NOT ok to flash the i9500.

Some things to keep in mind: If you have T-Mobile service, the T-Mobile TouchWiz ROMs will be the only ones you can use if you wish to retain WiFi calling. If WiFi calling doesn't matter to you then don't worry about that fact. Another concern to pay attention to; because your device is AT&T, whichever particular GS4 ROM you use, make sure you flash a kernel specifically for your AT&T model before trying to boot. Also, any use of Odin or returning to bone stock, make sure you use the files and methods in the AT&T section. I'm not 100% sure on what all is compatible across variants, but in the essence of safety I would recommend using the AT&T section for downloading everything aside from the base ROMs themselves; at least until you are able to figure out what can be used between variants.

Unless im not seeing this, it looks like its all custom ROM's and not the original T-Mobile Galaxy S4 ROMs

For now, im sticking with Samsungs Galaxy ROM or whatever they call it since I like their eye feature and air gestures. Ill switch to CyanogenMod eventually (when they atleast get a stable build)

For now, I just want to ask. I understand that if im going to modify my phone like kernals, I have to use the AT&T versions of all of them. Thing is, I only need to flash a stock T-Mobile Galaxy S4 ROM and thats it. I also want to keep this phone unlocked (since its already unlocked, I dont want to loose that feature)

Should I only just flash a new ROM (via ClockWorkMod or something....) and thats it or do I need a new kernel/other stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] _eroz:
If you flash a tmobile rom or any other (do not flash the international, 9500) you will need to flash an AT&T kernel.

That is what I'm doing. I also bought the AT&T s4 but have service from T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
It almost seems that you aren't fully grasping the idea here. When you flash a ROM, it also flashes a kernel for whatever variant the ROM is built for. Just because you use T-Mobile service doesn't mean the T-Mobile kernel will work with your particular device. The ROM will, but the kernel will cause your device to be unable to boot; which is why you need to flash your specific kernel immediately after flashing whatever ROM outside of your own variants development section.

All ROMs from all sections contain a device specific kernel, even the stock touchwiz ROMs have included kernels which is why you need to flash the kernel for your device. You won't damage anything if you don't flash the correct kernel, you just won't be able to boot.

Flashing ROMs either through Odin (restoring to stock) or custom recovery will not re lock your phone, so don't even worry about that. Once you unlock it, it's unlocked.

And yes, only flash custom ROMs via custom recovery (CWM/TWRP/etc).

tl;dr, question specific answer without any answers as to "why"

TMO ROMs will work on your device only if you use the AT&T kernel, even though your carrier is TMO and you want to use stock(modded?) TouchWiz ROMs..
