[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ckv:
I am doing a project that will require me to write drivers for an HD2 running Windows Phone 7. Obviously this is a pretty difficult topic and I wanted to know how similar driver development would be between the Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile. I have heard that Windows Mobile is easier to write drivers for and I was thinking that I could start with Windows Mobile and then move toward Windows Phone 7. Anyone have any insight here?
[HTC One S] gelo01:
First of all, i'm a noob at rooting, flashing custom roms and kernels, et al, so please, have patience.. :D

I just want to know guys IF it's true that the One S will receive 4.2.2 and Sense 5, will i be able to receive it via settings>about>software updates, even i'm rooted, with CWM recovery, but on stock ROM? And if in case i received it, is it safe to download and install? I've read somewhere that you must be on stock recovery before applying an OTA, plus i can't find again where i've read that, and i also don't know how to revert back to stock recovery, unroot and lock the bootloader since i used hasoon's tool kit in rooting..

A little help will definitely appreciated.. :)
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Okay first of all, it will take some time before the update reaches our One S. But yes you'll have to unroot + stock recovery + relock bootloader.

But again we are not sure if the update will be OTA or on HTCdev.

When it does, it's not difficult to Unroot + flashing stock recovery. The easiest is to lock bootloader.

So don't worry chum and roam around in the forums and you'll get all you need to become eligible to receive the update.

It's pretty early to worry about the update.

LOL sorry if this question has been repeated so many times... but there's some difference between others...

I9505 and I9500

Around my area sometimes will have 4g but usually only 3.5g....

but actually i love to flash roms and keep updates to rom or leak based rom..

So I9500 and I9505 which of this will have more development ?

since many reviews... benchmark/perfomance reviews show their both are almost same

but most of them based on stock stats... with lots of useless features and bloatware enabled...

so again.. which of these phone will definitely have more development ?

And... lol S4 Lte-advanced .... currently only release on korea..

not sure if it's a good idea to import these phone..

and i am also thinking will there have any problem/ unstable to this early build Snap 800 ?

Tell me what more you'll consider @@

OR maybe note 3?
[Galaxy S 4 General] trein91:
I9506. (Which I'll bet will replace the i9505 for new owners)
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
The sales mix is about 1/3 i9500 vs. 2/3 i9505 so logic says the i9505 will get more dev support because the audience is bigger. Add to that that Qualcomm's more open than Samsung/Exynos making the i9505 eaiser for devs to work with and that pretty much answers your question. If and when someone can get a LTE-A SGS4 with S-800 that works on their bands they'd be stupid not to. But the Korean 330S as it stands now has funky bands.
[Galaxy S 4 General] POLO_i780:
If you are into custom ROMs and also want LTE then get the I9505, otherwise go for I9500 for everything else:

I9500 has:

Wolfson DAC

HDR Video

Sony Exmor RS Camera sensor

Better battery life

More powerful CPU/GPU (than I9505)
[Galaxy S 4 General] qazmed:
What r u talking abt

dude way battery life is better on i9505 and there is hdr video on the i9505

Plus sound quality is better on i9505 and with the mf8 on the i9505 no cam diff to support my words see this link and plz we all know gsmarena is best in revies and is authenicate

[Galaxy S 4 General] mrvirginia:
this. but just as you (OP) has mentioned, the E330S has had a few reports of overheating devices and needing to exchange.

will be interesting to see what happens to the I9506, if it even comes to pass. kinda surprised Samsung would do this. wasn't the case with S3 and the second S2 variant came out well after the original.
[Galaxy S 4 General] trein91:
Not surprised. They ****ed the first s3 owners by releasing i9305 with 2gb ram later on. (Everyone knew 1gb wasn't enough but still bit it and went with their bluff that it was enough)

With newer phones all with the s800 they'd be dumb to keep using the old s600 for the remainder of the year/product cycle.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrvirginia:
ahhh international LTE phone. didn't even know about that heh

you may be right. guess we shall see soon enough :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Ammm yes there r differences in the cam...for eg. I9500 does slo-mo at 720p..19505 does it at a lower resolution..as the person u quoted said..get i9505 for custom roms and lte...for everything else get i9500(better hardware)...

No point in quoting american websites(sorry if gsmarena is not)..they hv been trying to hide a lot of stuff this tym..but ppl who hv both phones basically just say what i stated above..not trying to start a war here...just my opinion here...nothing else..

Same camera sensors & features + better battery life + 4G + Better sound (?!) + better GPU +more support from devs

im planning to get either htc one or i9505 but htc one is damn expensive + i hate sam logic releasing every couple of months a new version of s4 like the rumored i9506 .... I hate this ****ing **** + it may be expensive because of the new interior
[Galaxy S 4 General] dr.m0x:
Battery life is better on the I9505. The octa core is still new technology and has failed to deliver the promised power savings. Mostly it's purpose is to trick Joe Average who thinks that more cores must be better.

Am rlly not knowing why samsung does that but am sure htc one is costier and its specs are lesser than s4

my advice to get i9505 i know i9506 is better but

1. No app or game in the world utillizes full power of cpu on i9505 or even i9500 so why get i9506

2. I dnt think lte-a is widespread and even if i am sure its do expensive

4g lte is enuf believe me
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
wait for the i9506 thats coming, its a snapdragon 800 galaxy s4 for international markets(fu***ng samsung)

[Galaxy S 4 General] dr.m0x:
The only real world advantage of the I9506 is e-peen points. Currently there is nothing that really utilises anywhere near the full power of snapdragon 600, let alone the 800, so wait for the i9506 then buy the 9505 at a cheaper rate

[Galaxy S 4 General] trein91:
Wow, sometimes it feels like you guys are anti progress or something. Dafq "it doesnt use full power"? Performance benefits will always affect everything from load times to better battery life and efficiency.

Last year:

1. No app in the world utilizes the full power of 4 cores (exynos4412) so why have 4 cores.

2.i don't think lte is widespread enough

3. H+ is fast enough
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
well, h+ is still as fast as it gets for many people(including me sadly)
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
There are many and important differences between s600 and s800. It's not just about more points in Antutu. The I9506 will be like a new generation of the galaxy s4.

(and that's fkd up, to have a new generation after just 5 months)
[Galaxy S 4 General] dr.m0x:
I got the s4 for the screen and the camera. Performance wise I was more than happy with the Note 2 and I can't feel any difference in terms of the overall smoothness of the phone. On paper the s600 is a much better processor but in real world usage there is very little difference.

My point is that some people are acting like the new variant will make this one worthless and obsolete or that they'll actually be able to notice a significant difference in performance on the new model. I'd bet money that no one will be able to tell the difference between the two phones unless they actually check they model number in the settings menu.

[Galaxy S 4 General] heinz1:
so the conclusion is... wait for the i9506 and see either getting it or get the cheaper i9505 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Glotttis:
but keep in mind you won't be able to use Google Edition ROMs on i9506

[Galaxy S 4 General] Avide:
I cant ignore that this is so wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 General] qazmed:
Dude what he said is so correct we all agree that the i9505 has better battery life and that i9500 failed to fulfill its promises of best battery life
[Galaxy S 4 General] POLO_i780:
No, sorry.

I9500 has a better camera sensor (Exmor RS vs. Exmor R). I9500 certainly has better sound quality. The I9500s GPU is more powerful than I9505 but less than the I9506.

So it all goes back to what I said.

I9505 for LTE and Custom ROMs/dev support

I9500 for everything else.

And I9506 if you MUST have the very latest and greatest CPU+GPU.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Actually, some of that is wrong.

The i9505 is better for AOSP custom rom or if you have a good 4g network coverage and download a lot of stuff on your phone, I agree.

But:

Same camera sensor & features : wrong, the i9500 has a Exmor RS sensor while the i9505 most likely has a Exmor R, and the difference of quality is easy to spot.

Also, the i9505 can record slow motion videos up to 1/8x at 800*450 15fps while the i9500 does 1/8x at 1280x720 15fps.

You can do slow motion 720p on the i9505 if you use the i9500 camera software but it's a lot more choppy.

Better battery life on the i9505: besides gsmarena, I've seen quite the opposite..check the battery threads on both devices, the i9500 is often over 6 hours screen time over a 24+ hours period.

The only case where the i9505 will last longer is if you do a lot of heavy stuff on your phone like heavy 3d gaming, with very few idle time.

Better sound on i9505: reviews say they are quite similar, though the Wolfson chip has obviously more potential when developers start coding for it.

Better gpu on i9505: again, besides 1 single test where the i9505 does better (t-rex 2.7 offscreen), the other gpu tests are consistently better on the i9500.

Now, in everyday use, you probably won't notice any of this anyway (except for the camera I guess, and the presence or lack of AOSP roms if that's something you need) , so both models would be great, but it's not a reason to justify your purchase with wrong facts.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Check your sources... I never understood how gsmarena got those results, but my battery life is insane (often over 6 hours screen time over 2 days without charging, even when using it lot as gps)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nightf0x_007:
Maybe you are right
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
Sounds quality has zero difference now the clipping has been fixed with the newer firmwares, so your 'certainly' claim is rubbish. GPU is not more powerful either, or is debatable to say the least, just check the difference when running Open GL 3.0 enabled software like Dolphin emulator. CPU difference would not be noticeable outside of a benchmark application. Everything I have read also indicates battery life is better on the Qualcomm too and it runs cooler on the same tasks.

Only one option in my view as things stand -- the I9505, especially in I9505 territories.

But these debates have been done to death and are now boring.

so in conclusion,

what would You suggest me to do for now.

just sold mine ascend p6 due some problems I had with it, and currently selling iPhone 5 , as soon as it is sold, I'm ready for buying new one.

I'm looking for i9500 , i9505 or e330s .

I would really like to have e330s, but I'm a bit worried about developers support for this one.

Is it worth to wait for i9506 to be released? when it should be released?

Is there a possibility of googleplay edition running on this device?

regards Brett
[Galaxy S 4 General] Piero88:
9505. End of story.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
It depends on how long you plan to use it.

E330 has bigger potential in future if you plan to play heavy 3D games.

But E330 is for Korean market and won't have good support from XDA developers. It's not a problem if you are familiar with linux/android developing and able to adjust mods and tweaks for E330. Or.. if you are fully satisfied with stock firmware.

I9506 would be ultimate solution, but it's unclear about availability of this model. If you are already owner of any SGS4 then wait for couple months and then decide.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bretahrnek:
I'm currently planning to buy a new phone.

i9506 would be great,

but I don't want to wait months.

well buying i9505 now and then finding out that i9506 just been released would be worst I think...
[Galaxy S 4 General] volgastich:
i found this

Here is an alternative download for the chines rom(ftp//:) ( ftp.gukin.as/incoming/SHV-E330S-milan-v5.rar)

[One (M7) Accessories] tyler.durden:
By the way, where did you pick up your USA-made Commuter?
[One (M7) Accessories] cpufrost:
The first sample was purchased at a corporate Sprint store in May. The second (China made) was also purchased at a corporate Sprint store but in a different location.

The Defender I just picked up (USA) was from a local Best Buy store. I noticed it's on bestbuy.com for $29.99 but is $49.99 in the store. Brought this to CSR attention and they immediately adjusted the price. $29.99 is a pretty good price for a Defender!
[One (M7) Accessories] tyler.durden:
I know this a bump to an old thread, but I finally got around to picking up an Otterbox Commuter that is 'Assembled in USA'. I can say that it is definitely a better quality build than my Chinese-made Commuter. So to anyone that is looking to buy an Otterbox, I'd recommend looking on the bottom of the packaging and making sure that it says 'Assembled in USA'.
[One (M7) Accessories] klbjr:
That is a good price it's just that BB only carries the basic black colors.
[One (M7) Accessories] zaydq:
I have an otter box commuter that I stopped using because the fitment was horrible. I decided to make a warranty claim through otter box and within 30 minutes I had an approval and a case being shipped out Monday.

My commuter was made in the US but it was subpar in terms of quality. I also made the request for the new case to be black, if it were at all possible, and sure enough they sent me an updated confirmation with a black one as opposed to the glacier color I originally had, as it looked utterly disgusting after a months use.

I must say, I was very upset with otter box for the crap quality, but they have definitely reinstated my trust by making this so seamless.

And to think, I bought the case for $20 from a friend who bought it in error for his One X.
[One (M7) Accessories] mntbkr:
I have a commuter in the punked color, it is USA made, but I have always had a beef with the fit of the hard plastic outer particularly the diagonal portion to the right of the camera, it had never laid flat against the rubber. Some else having this same issue?
[One (M7) Accessories] zaydq:
The replacement car otter box sent me was the same. it ended up requiringa bit of playing with but it ended up clicking in. the fitments isg tight so just play with it.

FYI, the old one was made in the USA and had a very loose fitment.the new one is made in China and is clearly different and fits almost too tight... But it fits. My qualm with it is the silicone is so tight it makes the one look like a gs3 in shape. I loved the otter box for my iPhone 5 but it seems like the HTC one model doesn't share the same fit and finish.
[One (M7) Accessories] brenopoubel:
I completely agree with you.

Before the covers were much more quality, today don't fit right on the phone.

With the usage time it gets even more worse.

Just picked up a USA made commuter today and its fitment is perfect.

Just got my "Assembled in China" Otterbox Commuter Black case and it fits my HTC One Stealth Black perfectly. I actually bought it from the US (location of eBay seller). I'm about to post a review of the case - i'll link back here.

[One (M7) Accessories] Liskrig:
EXACT same issue, with the exact same case. I just got mine from Amazon yesterday (not a fulfillment, just shipped, and sold from Amazon) and I requested a refund. There was no way I could get it to fit, even without the phone in the case. I wanted a change in color from the White/Grey so I knew how it was supposed to fit.

Too bad they are back ordered on Amazon for 3-5 weeks :(
[One (M7) Accessories] Diablo_692:
Like you and "mntbkr" stated, I too initially had the bad fitment around the diagonal cut in the hard exoskeleton, but after messing with it a bit I can now say it fits flat to the soft inner shell just fine. Amazon was going to take too long to get the product, so I ordered the black Commuter case from my local Best Buy store (they price match Amazon). The case (assembled in USA) arrived today after about a week's time with free shipping to the house. I think it looks great on my black HTC One.
[One (M7) Accessories] xFatex:
You all know that the OtterBox's not from the USA are complete knock off replicas right?

I have one from Mexico it isn't at all what I got direct from OtterBox.

Kind of crappy silicon.. But it does defend enough not to break my phone so I am waiting for it to completely die.

It has currently lost some port tabs and is sagging really bad.

The sagging is easily fixed by boiling the silicon for 4minutes

The built in screen though was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE quality...

I had to rip it out.

I bought mine off Amazon and learned of this deception too late to return the box so meh. I mean it works...

I am just loyal to OtterBox and its great product they deserve my money not some Scam artist.

Hi

I've been having heavy troubles with the "Android Revolution HD" ROM, my battery lasts forever while in use, but drowns easily and extremely fast when in sleep / shutdown mode.

So I give up, I am going to sell this tablet and I don't want this ROM any more, I don't want my devince Root. I want to get it back to the way it was when I opened the box.

The only think I'd like to get is the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Firmware: V9.2.1.27 original from Asus to keep using the Android 4.0.X, nothing else.
