[HTC Butterfly S] chong81:
With the variety of third party keyboards available that performs better than stock and allow u to sync your dictionary across devices, stock keyboards should not be a deciding factor imo.
[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
But are you using one now? What colour did you get? So you are using M1? How much did you pay for your phone?
[HTC Butterfly S] xhahzl:
I currently have the Butterfly S and previously had the One. The One was a wonderful phone and the reason I changed was... well, I got it stolen... So I decided to try the new Butterfly S that was just released.

Both are really nice devices, but if I was to decide which I prefer, I think I like the Butterfly S just because of the larger battery (and the expandable storage a plus). The build quality of the One is much better, but I usually use a case so it's usually not really noticeable. I'm also not too crazy about taking pictures so the missing OIS doesn't bother me too much either. It'll just going to be quicks snaps and if I really wanted to take nice pictures I'll use my professional camera.

It's bulkier and heavier in my pocket, but it's just something I'll have to live with.

Oh a BIG factor for me would be LTE. It supports it here in Asia, but I think it doesn't support LTE in the US? In that case, I think I would consider the One.

Between the GS4 and the One, I think the One is cooler :D
[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
Yes I agree... pardon me... I am very new to Android and yet to own one as a matter of fact! :p
[HTC Butterfly S] bengx:
Yeah using it now in red colour on M1. What I did was to recontract for an iPhone 5, brought it down to mobilesquare, traded in and topped up for the butterfly s. All in all only paid $170, much better than paying the cut throat price of M1's.
[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
Missing OIS... Hmmm... what does it do? Any comparison picture out there?

And yes, thankfully here in Singapore, the units here supports LTE! ;)
[HTC Butterfly S] kenwchan:
I had to think about what OIS was. It's Optical Image Stabilization. I have both the One and Butterfly S and I hadn't noticed a difference. Actually, I took a shot with the S in pretty dim light and it was pretty sharp (although somewhat noisy but on par with the other phones or even better). So I would say it might not matter in real life terms. The camera settings still lets you choose "anti-shake" so I don't know why that is if there is no OIS.

But I'll tell you something funny, I think the S seems to expose the pictures better...

The S doesn't have the physical "wow" of the One when you pick it up, but in most things it is a more practical phone, so I prefer using it right now over the One.

[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
After much consideration, I had gotten myself one silver HTC Butterfly S and so far loving it!
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
If anyone is interested in comparison photos between One (with OIS) and Butterfly S (without OIS), I found the site http://www.max-up.ru/news-apple/htc-butterfly-s-vs-htc-one.html

Although it's in Russian, you can compare the photos, which were shooted by One and Butterfly S.
[HTC Butterfly S] orb3000:
Here a good comparative in benchmarks amongst One and others
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
So your saying that the HTC ONE is better
[HTC Butterfly S] d.cortez:
i interpret the comments as "the HTC One is better for him/her".. :)
[HTC Butterfly S] electronical:
In my case, the HTC One is definitely the one, since i ended up buying the HTC One over the Butterfly S. The difference in price between these two handsets is negligible considering that you're already going to spend a lot to get either the HTC One or the Butterfly S. But i have exhaustively discussed my point of view in my previous post above, so feel free to disagree if you feel that i was partial to the HTC One in my comparative analysis or if i missed any other important aspect(s) worth mentioning.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
This is a real tough choice I don't know what to get all it comes down to is the battery of the butterfly and the build quality of the HTC ONE and I always use a case lol
[HTC Butterfly S] hackarchive:
I'll always choose battery life.Build quality ?Just use a case.Plastic is better than aluminium for repairs,drops and scratches.Scratched aluminium is not pretty at all and my phone has steel which still scratches when dropped.Always choose battery life.It won't get as hot as the one on gaming and if it does it can't be as uncomfortable to hold.A case.Use a case!
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I made an order for my friend and he has the gray butterfly s that's so awesome and the speakers are lovely especially the speed I don't even wanna root eat for him
[HTC Butterfly S] zounduser:
Htc one, and butterfly s......i have both right now. I love both. Slight edge to the butt s though. Bigger screen, bigger battery, higher clocked, and expandable memory.
[HTC Butterfly S] Aratheba:
I guess we started going OT since few posts. This thread was not meant to be on "which one is better" (I own both and I have my preference), but on what One's specs are missing from butterfly. That's it. :p
[HTC Butterfly S] iJesu:
I got the htc one with sense in silver then sell it to a friend. I just bought the butterfly S in red and the htc one google edition. I think its a lot of money haha and I have to pick "one" of the them. I cant decide now so I will get another SIM and use them both. The butterfly S in red its beautiful I prefer it over the htc one. In terms of specs the bigger battery and the microSD its a plus for me. I cant justify to own both of them but I will keep both for a year at least. I had already all the flagships of 2011 2012 and 2013. I mean all the iphones and all the great Android phones. Htc butterfly S its the best :good: and Im from Peru so I will not get LTE here.
[HTC Butterfly S] TrAnCeiK:
This is probably the wrong thread to ask this question but does the butterfly S show any kind of lag?
[HTC Butterfly S] seyidaga:
Nope... Not really :) There are some apps that aren't supported for this device, which aren't available for download on the Play Storefrom the Butgerfly S and if you get it fom a website or something it will run bad or with a lot of bugs (for example Asphalt 8, Facebook Home and etc.) However, overall the phone is amazing at performeance and no lags at all :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd3k:
I have a P9300 model with 16GB.

However when check settings and connect to PC it shows only 11GB.

I tried to install blackhawk kernel for dual boot. Then uninstalled it.

Now I have the stock rom & kernel.

How can I recover the missing portion of internal storage
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshbro:
Eaten by system. U can't do anything about it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nozomi135:
This is normal, Android takes 4-5 gigs of a devices internal storage, its a common misconception that you'll get the amount of space advertised on the box, you DO have 16 gigs of internal space, but Android takes up a decent chunk of that storage
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medovici:
I have p3310 8 gb running samsung stock 4.2.2. In settings/storage it says system needs 3.4gb to run. So it is normal
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dattinator:
Don't worry. My tablet was advertised as having 8GB standard storage.

I, too was outraged when I discovered I really only had 4.5. I'm surprised Android takes up so much space.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
Well dont be. Windows on a computer can also use space.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himanshux:
Bad Marketing, its like you won 10 Million Dollars on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, BUT getting only 8 Millions after Taxes.

Only 11 GB available!! Huh! It fills in a snap :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lka1988:
Years ago I had a Palm V with a whopping 2MB of internal storage. Apps were a few KB in size up to several hundred KB. I learned to manage and monitor my avaliable space. Case in point: the LG P509 has 200 MB of internal storage and I haven't filled it up yet.

Quit complaining. :p

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

It's not bad marketing when the box states that the actual formatted capacity is less. That's just marketing. Just like when the cereal box you just bought is only half-full (or empty - shut up), and the box states that the contents may have settled during shipping.
[Nook Touch General] anders8:
At it's core... a simple clock app. I'm firing off updates scheduled on each second. On each second, I read the time, then display the time. This is not complicated. And it works, just fine, on my phone. Tick, tick, tick and it looks like a clock. Why wouldn't it, right?

Ok, so the same code on the nook doesn't update regularly. Here's an early video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URRrYhumt1Y

You can see there's a "double beat". It's like every other update gets displayed for maybe 1.5 seconds. So the overall rate doesn't change, it's still two updates in two seconds, and no updates are missed.

These are being done with a regular myView.setText(), no fancy graphics or anything.

Now, here's more interesting data. If I run the updates twice as often, or five times as often, it changes nothing. I assume the screen/OS is internally detecting no pixels have changed, and so it does nothing. However, if I add, to a totally different view on the screen, an area where I'm toggling from some text to no text (from " " to "+", in actuality, so, a blinking plus sign) AND I run everything at five times a second then the seconds area updates with a steady one hertz beat, just like you would expect from a clock.

Additionally, if I run the code so it only updates every other second, it will click along very predictably at every other second. So it's not a "some code problem with every other update".

I wonder if there's some internal timer in the OS watching for screen updates, and managing them? Perhaps "pushing" the display with a toggling update every 200ms keeps it active and within some timeout limit?

Or are there some nook-specific calls on this?

Cheers,

Anders
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I believe that some of the super-duper fast-mode or-whatever-you-call-it throws away some screen updates.

Are you using such a thing or a kernel with such a thing?
[Nook Touch General] anders8:
No, I'm not attempting any speedy-screen stuff in this code. In the video you can see the grey in the bar, so I'm not in any kind of a 1-bit mode. Because really, one update a second should be no problem. ;)

But if it was throwing away an update... why would the update show up half a second later? I would expect it to skip displaying that second entirely, and so jump to the next.

NoRefresh is installed on this device, but not set to start at boot (and honestly, I don't think I've actually gotten NoRefresh working yet, busy with other things). But I'll uninstall it to be sure and retest.

Is it possible some kind of low-power mode / sleep mode is kicking in? It wakes up half a second later, realizes it has an update, stays away for the next half second, makes the NEXT update (on time) then goes back to sleep after a 0.9ish seconds?

Anders
[Nook Touch General] anders8:
Yep, even after uninstalling NoRefresh, and rebooting, the behavior is the same. So that's definitely not related.

And running the normal updates to the screen at both 2Hz and 5Hz have the same result, so it's not related to the number of times the updates are called.

Anders
[Nook Touch General] anders8:
Here's an interesting video... watching the ADB output click along at a clean 1Hz, and the screen updates clearly not synced with the actual writes to the screen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL299EUH3T0

Again, all on "stock" system, no special video modes / refresh / magic enabled.

Anders
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Actually, I have run into this.

There's no documentation on modes or theory of operating a frame buffer for eInk.

I ran into this on the time display on my audio recorder app.

I ended up using a DL region in my app.

I'll have to look closer into how bad it looks without that.

Are those numbers a TextView or an ImageView?

If it isn't a TextView try one to see if it works better.

There may be slowness in caching/using images.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
More questions:

Are you using Timer & TimerTask?

Are you using runOnUiThread?

I wrote a demo app that counts.

It works fine by itself on stock 1.2.1

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaKin:
My phone will no longer boot.

Pressing the power button does nothing.

When I hold down the power button for a period of time (seemingly infinite) and the home and back buttons blink. The screen itself does nothing.

When I hold the power button + up / down buttons (I've tried various combinations) then again, the home and back buttons blink and the screen itself does nothing.

Of course...I'm naturally concerned that the phone is bricked / dead.

I've done some googling and a little reading around and I think I can resolve the issue by botting into fast boot and using hasson2000's all in one toolkit.

....is it likely the phone can be put into 'fast boot' (I think this is what power + volume down does)?

I do I need to wipe "everything" including the custom recovery?

Thanks for your help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sloth:
Try holding your phone over/under a bright light while holding down the power key or power/volume key it should boot..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaKin:
Will this trick the screen into coming on or something?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sloth:
It has something to do with the proximity sensor I don't know why it works but I have seen many members that used it and it worked every time haha
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaKin:
Sadly...It's not worked :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ext109:
Yep he's right. To prevent soft reboots in your pocket, htc made it so that you need a light in the sensor. Try holding the power button under a light, and be patient. If it doesn't work after 5 sec, keep waiting until it does. I have had to wait for 30sec-1m once, but it worked eventually

EDIT: you could also try if ADB works, in that case you'd just have to use adb reboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaKin:
It worked!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolligoanima:
is it possible to run Blackberry Apps or OS on android Tablets?

i need to play The Sims Ambitions but it's only for Winmobile IOS and Blackberry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggabriele3:
I followed guides (this guide) on this site to convert my HTC One Dev Edition --> Google Play Edition with OTAs.

This is what I did:

- The phone was already unlocked.

- I got S-OFF.

- I verified that my MID was correct and changed my CID to match the Google Play Edition phone.

- I installed TWRP Recovery and used it to wipe the phone.

- I flashed the "Pre Rooted 4.3 RUU Zip"

The phone is running well with 4.3 now.

What I need help with:

I don't plan on flashing ROMS in the future, I just want it to be a GPE with OTA updates.

My understanding is that flashing the RUU also installs the GPE stock recovery (overwriting TWRP), and the stock recovery has to be there in order to get OTAs. Is this right?

When I enter the bootloader and choose recovery, I see this screen:

Is this normal?

Does it mean that the correct stock recovery is in place?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyanColte:
Yes, that is absolutely normal, when you boot stock recovery, it's looking automatically in your file structure for something to flash. When it doesn't find anything, you get this screen. To get to recovery options just hold volume up and hit power, the screen will go grey and you'll see the recovery options.

Hope this helps.

Is it an other way that is possible to fix my phone?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikran:
Hi ,

I wanted to modify the build.prop on my nexus4 , and i requested r/w permissions , i was using es file explorer, and the only way to do this , was to remount the partition from R/O to R/W , then it let me modify the file , and change permissions on that file, but i forgot to re-mount the partition as R/O before rebooting my phone. now it wont boot up , and i dont know how to change the permissions back to R/O , or how to fix this issue.

Hope this makes any sense. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
All the mount point are reset upon reboot, so it won't be affecting your system or whatsoever. However, the problem seems due to permission of your build.prop or it could be the settings that you added to the build.prop

If you have custom recovery installed, try Fix permissions. If it doesn't work, you can either re-flash the ROM or use adb to push back original build.prop into /system.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikran:
i replaced( overwrite) the modified build.prop that i had on the phone with the original build.prop file, then rebooted the phone. and now it wont start up at all. i have a custom recovery from the nexus tool kit ( i think its cwm) . but that one works only if i can connect my phone to the pc , then boot in recovery mode, which i cant, since the phone wont start now. only recovery that i have now is that with a dead droid, which i can bypass and after that i got 4 options reboot , wipe or format, install files abd something and another option. i would gladly reflash my phone if you can tell me how :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
What modifications have you done to the build.prop?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
No fix can be done without a PC now, unless you have a nandroid backup (clearly you don't have it right now).

Hold vol down + power key to enter bootloader mode. Connect the phone to your PC.

1. If your bootloader is locked, unlock the bootloader.

fastboot oem unlock

This is important, if you don't format the cache, all your data will be wiped upon reboot!

fastboot format cache

2. Download & flash cwm or twrp. Boot into recovery.

3. Use fix permissions.

OR

Mount system partition with the recovery interface. Then run this adb command on your PC.

adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb reboot
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikran:
i had this line there qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 , but i replaced the build.prop which had this line in, with the original build.prop, rebooted the phone , and now it wont boot up ( as i said, in doing this i have mounted the system partition from ES File Explorer from R/O to R/W, and forgot to turn them back to R/O before reboot) so my guess is that this happened because i didnt remounted back the partition with R/O permissions
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
You don't really need that since you already have softkeys anyway.

The remount is not the case at all, the issue is either the permissions or the property itself.

Which recovery do you have?, if you have TWRP then you can fix it for sure with it's special feature.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikran:
occupied icinme

i think i have twrp but i could boot into it only when the phone was connected to the pc and from the nexus 4 tool kit
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Then you are just booting to it (not flashed) but anyway one you get on there you have to TWRP, Advanced and then Terminal command.

Go to the system folder and type the following commands IF you have the backup:

rm build.prop

mv build.prop.bak build.prop
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikran:
but how can i run these commands since my phone wont boot up so i can connect it to my pc ? and my bootloader is unlocked + rooted nexus
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Go to the bootloader, it has Fastboot from there.

EDIT: Oh you where talking about ADB, try using the method I posted on the previous page.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
From my understanding, this is your current situation and phone setup, correct me if I'm wrong.

Bootloader: Booted

Recovery: Stock/Original

ROM: Running, but now Bootloop <-- You are here.

Now, because it is now in the "ROM" states, the animation continues to play on and on, you need to turn OFF your phone, just hold the power button for more than 8 secs until the screen goes off.

IF holding the power button doesn't work, hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER key for more than 8 secs instead.

IF your phone already turned off, you can skip this step.

After you power down your phone, hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER key, your phone will enter "Bootloader" mode.

Bootloader: Fastboot <--- You are here.

Recovery: Stock/Original

ROM: Not Running

Now you can connect your phone to your PC with USB cables. Go to android-sdk\platform-tools folder, hold Shift + Right click and select Open command window here, enter this command:

fastboot devices

IF you don't see your device in the list, your PC will need "driver" to communicate with your phone, download it here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Open Device Manager, update the driver.

There, you need to get a custom recovery, get either TWRP or CWM, because you need them to run the SHELL command. Get them installed and boot into recovery.

Bootloader: Booted to recovery

Recovery: CWM/TWRP <--- You are here.

ROM: Not Running

In the command window, now type "adb shell" and enter.

Try the command posted by andyabc, reboot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
In TWRP there is a Terminal Command menu where you can do commands from so you can do modification's to the OS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blockberd:
It is worth mentioning that the command "fastboot oem unlock" will actually erase all the personal data (should also include sdcard folder) and make it a blank phone! Use with cautions!
