[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] CoryJansen:
I got the HTC windows phone 8x and have been using it for 2 weeks now and all of my thoughts and opinion are my own and I am not sponsored by Verizon or HTC. When I first got the device it felt like any other phone other new phone you would get but the instant i turned it on i knew it was going to be different. I am saying this coming from the Galaxy Note 2 running touchwiz over android jelly bean. The feature that i enjoyed the most was the fact that your homescreen will alway keep you updated with the latest news, social, scores, and ect. The fact that you don’t have to launch an app just to see the same info you would see on a home screen on windows 8 is a nice perk. The hardware was really nice build solid no lag while using the device and its kind of nice the fact that you can buy this phone in many different colors is a nice little addition. The camera on the htc 8x is an average 8mp camera take subpar pictures in low light but in good lighting conditions it takes above average pics. Also the Verizon version of the HTC 8X does get an exclusive feature of wireless charging. The app selection on windows phone is not yet to par with the Apple Store or Android. Many large app developers apps are not yet on Windows phone but that shouldn't make you not buy a windows phone. The reason for that is the fact that many smaller developers create knockoffs of the real app like theres a knock off of YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. From my time with the phone I have thought that this phone is a great phone for someone just coming into the smartphone arena or someone who is looking to switch os’s. The phone is selling for free with a 2-year contract with Verizon.

Let me know what you think about this device and let me know if you have a windows phone and if you enjoy it. Thank you for your time and if you want to see more reviews check me out on YouTube just search for Cory Jansen. Also follow me on twitter at cjtechcraz
[General Questions and Answers] Warrenx:
Hey guys,

I am fairly new to rooting my Droid DNA. This is my second DNA, the first one I installed Bootloader, CWM Recovery, went S-Off, and flashed Viper Rom. I want to update the firmware of my phone to the latest version that Verizon has released (I like being up to date on that stuff), but I cannot do it with my current setup as it fails in Clockwork Recovery. So here are a couple of questions I have:

1. If I uninstall CWMR and flash back to standard recovery will that enable me to update my phones firmware?

2. Is this "firmware" the same data I could find on a ROM? Or is this different than what ROMs provide?

3. If I am able to update my firmware by uninstalling CWM and using the stock recovery, will that undo my Bootloader/SuperUser/S-off on my phone, or will it just update the "firmware" and leave my rooting alone?

Sorry these are noob questions. I am trying to intuitively understand how all these things work together. I appreciate any and all help I can get in this. Thank you for your time.

-Warren

Hello everyone. Not sure if somebody using this to wake up your OB but it's great for me as I don't like to press a power every time.

You do not need a root for it.

I've just updated my new LG Optimus Black to official ICS 4.0.4 (30b-EUR-XX) Great tutorial here http://getin.in/index.php?option=co...l-android-4-0-ics-rom-update&catid=86:gadgets

Go to settings->Lock screen->None, and now you can use any hardware button to turn screen on.

I've got widgetsoid app from market (my favorite one for power toggle widget) and widget "lockscreen" on my homescreen to turn screen off.

Couldn't find any better way to save my power button and wake it up

Hi I need some help, is it just me or the sense roms camera app shots better pictures? What I mean its that the quality of the pictures is better than the aosp roms. what do you guys think?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Its totally subjective, of course. But you asked . . . I think you are wrong. There was a thread comparing the Sense camera versus AOSP a while back, with some pics posted by myself and others. The short story is that there isn't much difference, and in fact some thought the pics taken on the AOSP camera were better.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32953601

Given, this was back on ICS. The camera app has been updated on both Sense and AOSP builds since then. But nothing too drastic, IMO.

The layout and functionality of the Sense camera is superior, IMO. And that is one of the reasons I prefer Sense ROMs. But the actual difference in photo quality is negligible (possibly slightly better on AOSP). But of course, its completely subjective.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Napoleon_solo:
I find that the AOSP camera takes better pics at ISO 400. It takes a lot of the grain out, But both are close in quality.

The one problem with the AOSP cam over Sense cam is that AOSP cant take pics in 16:9. Or, at least I haven't found a solution to do so.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Something I've noticed is that the aosp camera seems a lot better balanced. It's better at taking indoor photos, and better at taking photos on a sunny day. Sense is much better at outdoor photos in low light though.

Knowledge of mmx service center guy

GREAT THREAD!!! This phone needed one!

Not anyone else's story can beat this. LOLZ :laugh:

I went to MMX service center. The main experienced fellow, who is responsible for checking and deciding the course of action for device fault, was saying to another customer in English..."Sir, I have flashed software to your mobile, but don't start now. Go home, charge mobile to 100% without switching it on and then only start, otherwise the software will wash out again and motherboard will die." Listening it alongside that poor fella, I was something like :p:silly::mad::p:silly::mad::p:silly::mad: he he he

EDIT: Just remembered he also said, "Never let battery drain to ZERO, else the phone will have problem." HE he he. Now I was under impression since last 13 years that weekly or fortnightly full draining of battery increases battery life (as they have been saying in RTFM)

PS: My 14 year old kid flashes Optimus 2x and LG L9 and now CanvasHD every week, even with 20% battery and reboots. I dont still understand why a drained battery will wipe software just like that? :D :D lol

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
When I got the phone my battery was pretty phenomenal (comparatively speaking). But it seems since I took the update that Sprint pushed out a few weeks ago, the battery can't make it more than a few hours with light/moderate use. Its really horrid to be honest. Hoping the eventual 4.2.2 OTA will fix this. But in the meantime I wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue and possibly help identify the source of the problem. (By the way I am not rooted)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Have you checked the version of your Google Play Services APK? It can cause a particularly nasty bug on HTC devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
Play Services is v 3.1.36 but the actual Play Store is v 4.1.10 which is said to "fix battery drain issue." Still seems to be draining pretty rapidly. Any fix you know of?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Can we see your usage stats?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
The Play Store update should have also pushed Play Services, so yeah. Could we see your usage and also your app list/sync settings?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DiZzyBonne:
I'm in the same boat, even after the Google Play Store fix.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Seriously, we need usage stats.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
Sorry, been working in home WiFi.

Hardly been using the phone since I still have my old Evo LTE and the battery is better on that.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Wifi used up 43% of 60% of your battery? That's like a quarter of your battery gone! Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? Can we see the graph and awake time etc? (Sorry for the trouble, but it's the only way we can tell)

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Just wanted to ask, what does that mean? (Not trying to be negative in any way)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
Well, in fairness for the last week or so I've been charging the phone and leaving it in my room. The screenshot was after like a day and a half in which a hardly used it and had WiFi on.

By working on home WiFi I meant talking to ISP and bumping up speeds, for the second time in a week.

I'll post the graph when I get home from work or early tomorrow as the phone has been unplugged for about 20 minutes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
It won't hurt if you actually use it. Watching vids/playing games prevents blown up stats like that.

EDIT: Please, also include stats like screen time, awake time, cell reception, Wifi etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
This was at work. I hardly use my phone at work fyi.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Dropped 25 ish percent in 6 hours? What seems to be the problem?

With your usage, that would give you a day. I'm happy with 11 hours.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
But with no internet connection and hardly any use. It concerns me because usually it would drop 5 maybe 10%. It was great on sleep.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
OK, now that I think about it, you're right. I remember getting more than 2 days on standby with absolutely no use (on wifi).

A day with that kind of usage is really not that good. It's weird because your stats don't show anything odd. I'd like to see some moderate to heavy usage stats though. The kind you say gives you 5 hours. That would help more.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] daltonroland:
Here you go. About 50% gone in about an hour of use (on WiFi) mostly on YouTube/Twitter or music with regular use of ATK.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flyboy21141:
I'm having a serious battery drain issue with my Sprint One also, though I don't remember exactly when it started - it might very well have been that OTA update.

My battery drains when the phone is asleep. The phone will be dead in just over 24 hours from 100%, with less than one hour of screen usage. The integrated "usage" monitor shows that WiFi consumes this power , whether or not WiFi is in use. I have a paid task manager app that can track stats over time, and according to it, the processor appears to be running at ~15% constantly when the screen is off. I've tried disabling WiFi and having the phone sleep on just the cell network, to no avail. I first thought that perhaps the poor service at my house was causing it. However, I watched the battery drain at exactly the same rate when in an area with perfect coverage.

Here's the weird part - I tried airplane mode'ing my phone. Airplane mode doesn't seem to stop it. In fact, airplane mode seemed to accelerate the drain! I find it simply unacceptable that my phone will die like this with almost no usage.

I feel that the problem is not a rogue third-party app I have installed. I've used the "disable" option on Facebook, Twitter, and I've removed several other suspected apps. It makes no difference. I even suspected my task manager app; I tried removing it and looking at the integrated one, and there was no difference.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Check to make sure never auto turn on Wi-Fi is checked in Wi-Fi advanced settings. I was going to suggest poor reception since that kills my battery, but you mentioned trying airplane mode.

With screen off and nothing running, it's not surprising that Wi-Fi is the main battery drain. But it is too fast in my opinion too.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Is high performance Wi-Fi disabled?

Here i am going to put a tutorial of how to translate to your lenguage firefox OS.

IMPORTANT I AM TRYING TO FIND HOW TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE LENGUAGE RUNNING IF YOU TRANSLATE YOU LOSE ONE LENGUAGE

First descompile your ROM

Then go to data/local/webapps here you will find all apps to translate.

Now install a program for edit .html and notepad if you are in windows.

We are going to use settings.gaimobile.org to translate

We open the folder and we will see a ZIP call aplication you unzip it.

Now we open index.html with a html editor:

In the code:

<!-- Main List -->

<section role="region" id="root">

<header>

<h1 data-l10n-id="settings">Settings</h1> Here you translate the CODE only the word!!!

</header>

<!-- Main :: Network & Connectivity -->

<header>

<h2 data-l10n-id="networkAndConnectivity">Network & Connectivity</h2>

</header>

<ul>

<li>

<label>

<input data-type="switch" name="ril.radio.disabled" type="checkbox">

<span></span>

</label>

<a id="menuItem-airplaneMode" class="menu-item" data-l10n-id="airplaneMode">Modo Avión</a>

</li>

<li>

<label>

<input data-type="switch" name="geolocation.enabled" type="checkbox">

<span></span>

</label>

<a id="menuItem-gps" class="menu-item" data-l10n-id="gps">GPS</a>

</li>

<li>

<small id="wifi-desc" class="menu-item-desc" data-l10n-id="fullStatus-disconnected">Offline</small>

<a id="menuItem-wifi" class="menu-item" href="#wifi" data-l10n-id="wifi">Wi-Fi</a>

</li>

<li>

<small id="call-desc" class="menu-item-desc"></small>

<a id="menuItem-callSettings" class="menu-item" href="#call" data-l10n-id="callSettings">Ajustes de llamada</a>

Then when you finnish editing all save it.

You can see what you have done opening it with a broswer.

Then you comprime it when you finnish and you try it.

This app per app.

I WILL POST MORE THINGS

Being a huge Sony fan ;),,,I had huge expectations for the stock earphones provided with Xperia Z/ZL,, but I'm just not pleased with the quality of the earphones provided with these phones...:| . These earphones can be great for indoors (easy listening),but they are very poor while traveling:-S...They just don't provide enough bass and isolation from noise,also treble is too high..I tried maxing the clear bass switch,fiddled with some other settings but I didn't feel any difference.Does any one have the same complaint with these earphones??

solution for poor audio output!

problem isn't with the earphones. They are awesome. It's the walkman app which is lacking. I was also dumbstruck when I first listened to songs using that app. Use "power amp" it makes a world of a difference!! I have it as my default music player app. It's the best out there. And the bass is way too much for my liking. I have to turn it down so that it doesnot affect my hearing :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rumman Shaikh:
I think the walkman app does a pretty good job,,even I installed poweramp and I didn't notice any noticeable difference in the audio quality,also the same was experienced while earphones were used by other mobiles and devices.. the quality of the earphones is definitely not what you should expect from a flagship model from Sony ;)

[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
There MAY be a problem with ur earphones... Cuz i noticed a big difference in bass and overall music quality after i switched to poweramp.
[Sony Xperia ZL] asrail:
The amount of bass and isolation on in-ear headphones is strictly related, and both are related to the diameter of your ear and the way you use the headphones.

It is pretty simple: the more tight the in-ear headphone is, the more acoustic isolation you got and the more (a lot more) bass you got.

Sometimes you got bad luck with the size of the plugs. One may be too big and the other won't seal your inner ear correctly.

You may buy a cheaper product, but it will sound better because of the better sizing.

Never been a fan of inside-the-ear-canal-type earphones. It gets really uncomfortable within moments of use. I'd have to agree with the OP, though. I tried them just that once, to check out the audio quality, and I found it be less than average. Disappointing, considering this is more or less of a high-end phone.
