[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
It's not possible without S-Off. The state in the bootloader will be either "unlocked" with root or "relocked" if you return lock to bootloader, so the warranty will be not valid.
[HTC Butterfly S] vikasmohamed:
ya, I culd see this in mine too. what to say whether to state this an issue or not. how ever itz very annoying when once you realise itz ther. the other day I was looking for some videos on htc butterfly s tear down but I culdnt find any just to root out the problem. I noticed one more thing the bleed is very much evident infact I say, probably u can see inside when seen at an angle parallel to the side of the screen above backlight.

Damn!!! itz just the cheap plastic.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
i am so sorry but i dont see it on mines. Where did you guys purchase your phones and did the box come sealed or open?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
update available for taiwan already see what i mean http://www.hubfr.com/en/mise-a-jour-...ly-1-21-709-3/
[HTC Butterfly S] vikasmohamed:
I bought here in india. it was sealed pack. probably I am unlucky. But overall I have serious concern for the build quality mainly because of the kind of shiny plastic they have used which gets scratched very quickly(do other members also face the same scratch mark problem?). although I really like this device because of good battery life and gorgeous screen still I will switch to note3.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Note 3 still will scratch I bought a case for my phone and I dont have one problem with it all u have to do is buy a case
[HTC Butterfly S] vikasmohamed:
what case are you using for your htc butterfly s?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Nillkin from eBay
[HTC Butterfly S] vikasmohamed:

thanks a lot.
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
i sure hope so, i'm not getting the 1.21.709.3 update mentioned here, then again i have the hongkong version

and ofcourse i'd rather have an update directly to 4.3 :)
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
downloading the update right now :)

version 1.23.708.3

eeep, do i need stock recovery for OTA install?

cwm and twrp wont install it...

can someone please upload a stock recovery for me?

i forgot to make a backup :(
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I don't like the charging animation with the latest update as it wastes screen time (it also increases the risk of screen retention similar to a burn-in). Only solution to charge with screen off is to charge with device powered on and on standby.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
What's your cid?
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:

[HTC Butterfly S] alfa7d:
I got 2 updates today

Sent from my HTC Butterfly s
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
thanks man i had to go back to stock rom and unroot to get the update
[HTC Butterfly S] ebautista:
Just want to know if you can share your stock rom recovery?

Or do you know how can I go back to stock rom?

Thanks.

Were are all the butterfly owners?

A very light on forum.....
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
This is a phone not everyone wants to flash a custom rom it comes good as it is out of the box
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I agree, but I think overall not as many people are buying the Butterfly s as the original Butterfly, because it is cheaper now and has sold very well since its launch. As I noted before it's mostly casual users with Butterfly s, I also think it appeals more to girls more so than the One.

Also I don't think there are many Taiwanese users on this forum I can't find a Taiwanese forum to see if anyone else is having the same problems I am.

I think this phone will be overlooked but it's significant in a way - I believe it will likely HTC's last high-end phone with 3 buttons!
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Keep in mind that Taiwan do have there own development site and these phones are not specifically made for the US market
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
Agreed. Although I'd want to root it to install some themeing mods and maybe an ad blocker.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Lol I love my ad blocker too but I have to live without it I'm so tired of go back and forward from custom rom to stock for updates
[HTC Butterfly S] N3M3SYS:
I got the latest software update a couple of days ago. Anyone having any information on updating to android 4.3? I know that HTC is seeding it to One.
[HTC Butterfly S] danielel:
New update

Actually I have a problem with the new update,

Installed it today (901s) by OTA and now my phone just resets every now and then,

already 4 times by now

I think the update just wasn't installed properly, because after reset I get a message that my device was updated..

the problem is that I don't know and don't think it's possible to re-install the update without unlocking the bootloader,

in the meanwhile i'm just hoping 4.3 will roll out soon so the problem will be solved

if anyone knows what to do i'll be really thankful!

edit:

just noticed notes update is gone after a reset, had to install again, so it really makes sense that the device is stuck on the update install
[HTC Butterfly S] Taptapdude:
Recent antutu scores on my butterfly s never exceeds 20050. And is scoring much lower than the HTC one. Any idea why?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Why don't u guys jus use the phone and stop trying to find simple faults in it. I don't think no phone will satisfy ppl
[HTC Butterfly S] Taptapdude:
When the performance deteriorates for such a high end device won't you be worried or concerned at all?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
My own seems pretty fine to me

So I got the lg g2 yesterday and am using both the butterfly s and the lg g2.....pros and cons but the snapdragon 800 is super fast and the camera is as good as my point and shoots
[HTC Butterfly S] stealthenator2:
Is there a huge difference in terms of real world performance between the two phones?

Sent from my GT-I8150
[HTC Butterfly S] Taptapdude:
Butterfly s is still a fine phone. Just that the screen and camera of the g2 is quite impressive as reviewed. Battery life isn't as good as the HTC but also doesn't get as hot as the HTC when doing tough tasks.
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
I have recently found out LG G2 in hands of my friend and I agree that photos are better on lg camera. I didn't notice any difference in performance in everyday tasks like mail, weather, gps, even games except RealRacing - it was smoother on lg. I borrowed lg for one day to test battery life for everyday usage (music,syncing, browsing etc, not hard usage). I don't know how long htc engineers were working on optimization, but comparing battery life I had around 25% difference at the end of battery cycle.
[HTC Butterfly S] Taptapdude:
You haven't said which phone had better battery life
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
sorry, was typing in a hurry. butterfly s won the competition, also noticed some freezes on lg interface scrolling and browsing, no freezes in apps. Both were performing flawlessly and the battery difference wasn't that much, but as I had only one day for testing, I speed up the test by watching the video (in same format on 100% screen brightness, sync off, wifi and bluetooth off, energy save modes off) - and that caused a huge drain of battery on lg. after an hour or so the difference was 3% and at the end i've got 25% difference.

As for the screens both are great, but noticed that it's more comfortable for me to read from htc screen than from lg.
[HTC Butterfly S] Advali:
Just want to ask how long does it take you to charge your device?
[HTC Butterfly S] ermariio:
maybe 2.5 -3 hours from 0 to 100, I did not count how long, because I use a fast charger 2A , hehe :D

He is talking about backlight bleeding he probably replaced it
[HTC Butterfly S] ctomgee:
Anyone who is using this device on AT&T - is this device detectable as a smartphone?

In other words, does it show as a known device when you log into your online account?

I'm curious if this device works on the old MediaNet data plan.

U hv to ask where ppl can see the question
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
a quick heads up be careful pulling out the microSD/SIM card slot cover I happened to move the whole back cover a bit... and i started having problems with the power button, well I've snapped it back to the original position but it does look as if the power button has moved down a tiny bit, or maybe im just thinking too much lol =/
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
Just a heads up, after Taiwan finally has 4G LTE, an LTE version has been released in Taiwan including a pink one. Not sure what's the name for this if it's 901s but it differs from the 3G version in having the 4G LTE logo at the back above the Beats logo.
[HTC Butterfly S] pinguino500:
64gb best memory

Does somebody knows how fast the 901s can read and write on the micro sd card memory ? I plan to buy the sandisk extreme plus that give up to 80 mb/s read and maybe 40mb/s write

Thank you
[HTC Butterfly S] papaketchup:
:)

Just got my Butterfly S a week ago. One of the best batteries I've tried so far!

I just got an issue with the pink hue camera thing when its under low light. Anybody solved this problem yet? Tried setting the ISO to 100 and it was still the same.

Anybody got an ETA on the 4.4 update?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Welcome to the team
[HTC Butterfly S] jondayunyor:

[HTC Butterfly S] seyidaga:
good for you! Welcome to the Butterfly S family :D
[HTC Butterfly S] leaderliu:
Got Butterfly S almost a month,now using insertcoin 2.3.1!! So smooth!!

And the battery is so good!
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
FINALLY 901e has been updated to 4.4 (no Sense 6 I don't think), will I regret it? Is the battery drain really that bad? What about the microSD access? :S Does Astro or ES work with deleting files?
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
901e on KitKat!

Already regretting it - Astro File Manager is practically useless now thanks to the SD card policy. Now I have to take out my sd card onto my computer to make modifications.

Music skips occasionally in stock player, especially when you swipe to the visualizer/lyrics.

Battery doesn't seem that much worse. I'm at 67% after 5 hours of use including some gaming and browsing.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Yes, unfortunately, you'll need the mod for this, which means unlocking.

For me, it was the wakelocks that were killing my battery most notably. Drain while using the device wasn't very different, but it drained almost as fast while it was supposed to be asleep.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
Yeah I got 8 and a half hours of moderate usage yesterday, there was some sudden drain around 20% before levelling off around 10, then I charged... -_-

I hope we get Sense 6 soon but only recently did 901e get 4.4 -__-
[HTC Butterfly S] FYLin21:
I actually find the battery life a LOT better now. I'm not sure what happened but the phone no longer stays constantly awake, even if power saver is turned off. This is 901e running on stock, unrooted.

Did anyone get Sense 6 yet? There was a post on a Butterfly fan page on Facebook earlier today about it.
[HTC Butterfly S] DevH:
Will get future updates?

Has the latest KitKat update dropped any previous functions or enhanced its performance?

Is 901e the international or the Taiwanese version?

I am planning for getting this HTC butterfly S but in a fix whether to get this or the LG G2. I really like the user friendliness feature for rooting.

Does this butterfly gets any major hiccups with the performance like data connectivity issues, blinkfeed draining battery or camera stuttering.

Has it got all any dedicated developers forum with rooting and all. I suppose the battery won't be of any major issues for its huge capacity. Replacing the internals does it cause any major problems.

Let me know if its fine to get the thing. I do prefer its great atttactive built quality and obviously got a great battery power than most of the 5inch phones currently.

Thanks.
[HTC Butterfly S] Bryannrx:
Any issue on how to fix the purple tint on the camera under low light?
[HTC Butterfly S] the_eclectic1:
You have to send in to HTC if under warranty. They will replace the camera module.
[HTC Butterfly S] W3ber:
What the replaced camera module Name?
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I think it's this one: http://stellatech.com/htc-butterfly-s-camera-module-(front),a,en,816349.html

I wonder when we'll get Lollipop. Llabtoofer says March which is a bit ridiculous like when we got KitKat in April last year. Butterfly s is a newer device and arguably better-spec'd yet HTC prioritizes M7 over it.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
I think the reason are obvious – the M7 is orders of magnitude more popular than this, it is for international markets and has actually been marketed, as opposed to the Butterfly S.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
Also those HTC-haters who comment on every HTC announcement with "this is why I don't buy an HTC because they announce new ones and dilute their flagship!" They don't want them to feel ignored if this phone gets an update before them, but then it's a flagship-spec'd phone (of 2013) that doesn't get flagship treatment.

I have a feeling the Butterfly s has proven unpopular compared to the original Butterfly. The original sold like hotcakes in Taiwan and Japan, while the Butterfly s wasn't even announced in Japan. Visiting Taiwan last year, it was already shelved at most HTC stores (except for the main HTC stores near GuangHua Market), and I saw few people with the Butterfly s (much more people with the M8 and M7, even the Desire 816 which was promoted heavily)

Another possibility is we will get Android L but NOT the Eye Experience (I don't plan on using it though)
[HTC Butterfly S] xheavenic:
that would be great :)
[HTC Butterfly S] papi92:
Do we have root yet or source code?
[HTC Butterfly S] d.cortez:
got my grey one today and very nice looking device! for the att users out there, i can confirm there's no LTE connectivity; at least where i live (in dallas). phone reminds me of my GN2 in terms of size, although it's not as tall at the GN2. i'm anxious to test the 3200 mAh battery to see how well it performs. just submitted and received the token file to unlock the bootloader, and deciding if i should wait.

would appreciate someone posting a link to come cases... thanks!
[HTC Butterfly S] WPMan:
Can you ask your friend if he has stock of 901s?

901s or 901s? Where did you bought it from? Price? Maybe I should just wait a few weeks for the price down.

Go with the 901e for Taiwan u will get updates faster

first full day using phone and battery has performed very well. 15hrs, 36 minutes and i'm at 54%. this is with almost 4 hours screen time, 67 minutes of call time, 53 text messages and 112 emails (across 3 MS Exchange email accounts (all push)). battery life looks promising.

But if you're not then only edge :(.... damn I really wanted to get this phone
[HTC Butterfly S] orb3000:
"Luckily" where I live 4G is far away to arrive so I make it perfect with 850MHz bands for my 3G, all I need ;)
[HTC Butterfly S] boostedfern:

[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
i am considering selling my old butterfly for the new butterfly s but i hate to give up a s off device for a s on one lol

That happens every time you get a device so new, tell me about it.

On my old Butterfly it was used by devs to create the 1st ROM´s so I am used to...

HTC Butterfly 4G LTE Version Available Now ?

Hello All,

I found the newer version ? of the HTC Butterfly S and the below website indicates it to have 4GLTE. They also spcify the bands.

Do you think it will work in the US with ATT LTE/T-Mo LTE ?

Doesn´t matter if it´s expensive, I am willing to help and if we get a lot of ppl interested we will get it!

I went to compare the Butterfly S and HTC One side by side and I realized the Butterfly S has a more yellowish White screen as compared to the One. You can see it from both within the Mail app and the Settings. The hardware and software for both phones are the same so I can't really figure out why the difference?
[HTC Butterfly S] d.cortez:
i have an unlock token from HTC.dev, flashed to my phone and was one step away from hitting "Yes" unlock the bootloader. :) are there existing root methods i can try if i decide to unlock the bootloader (e.g., from a leaked 4.2.2 version for the HTC One)?
[HTC Butterfly S] Dark Sector:
This is a screenshot after my first day use and I was really disappointed with the battery performance.

I mean with the 900 mAh extra in comparison to the one and 1180 mAh in comparison to the butterfly I had a really high expectations .

And I think I should have especially since my brightness was low all the time

what do you think ?
[HTC Butterfly S] sidrockrulz:
Thanks a bunch. Wouldnt help much if I buy this then :( Bummer !:confused::( :(
[HTC Butterfly S] kEvinErd:
You have some partial wakelocks in the late afternoon till evening period. Use better battery stats or wake lock detector apps to identify the culprit behind the partial wake lock.

On a side note, no one else seeing a yellowish white screen on the Butterfly S compared to HTC One?
