The purpose of this thread is to continue that which we started in the HTC forums. That is to dissect current flagship Android phones and compare them to new tech hitting the market, new flagship news, smartphone news, etc.

Rules

1. All xda forum rules apply.

2. Comparisons to other phones is ok but only with an objective and not opinionated views.

3. You can SHARE opinions but think of how you state it as to not impose your opinion.

4. If you feel something is worthy of the true Mega Info Thread PM the thread OP. We might miss it.

5. Rom or Kernel links are ok for updates. If you know how include the changelog.

6. This isn't necessarily a troubleshooting thread though we can try to help. Those type of things belong in your ROM/kernel thread.

7. This is not a cry babies thread, bashing, hatred or a futile expression of frustration should be kept elsewhere

If there´s any discussion going too much off-topic or to aggressive, I will lock down the thread temporarily to get everyone calm down and will get a mod into this.

Notable old links can be found in second post below

Have fun !

HTC One ARHD to be updated new base.

I retract my previous statement. Guess it is just a new base. 32mb ota. Not sure what is different. The base didn't jump very much in number so unfortunately no 4.3.....yet. sorry for the confusion.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamdir:
where do you see 4.3 or 5.1 though? all he said that 13.0 is coming

plus since it's in the general area, you should mention the device in question as well ;) (HTC One)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] DeSaint2:
I'm pretty stoked for it. Lol

For those who don't know how his version numbers go, .x releases are bug fixes small feature additions. Xx.x releases are android version updates. So one can assume it is 4.3.

one more thing, this is the off topic area isn't it? ;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LoopDoGG79:
I have a feeling your thread might stick around but, off topic doesn't mean you can just make any thread you want. If a thread is made, then a duplicate is made, the duplicate typically gets locked, and the mod will point you to the original thread. Is this thread considered a duplicate of the HTC hangout thread? Only a mod can decide that.

It is not my thread, it's [MENTION=2848156]DeSaint2[/MENTION]'s idea

and no i do not agree, have a look at that thread its not a duplicate

Just because it has an HTC in the title doesn't make it a duplicate
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] DeSaint2:
While I understand what you are saying, the purpose of this thread is outlined very clearly. This is not a "hangout", it is an HTC tech thread. We are specifically dissecting the technology within HTC flagship devices. Discussing the possibilities of of new tech and what it could do to change the smartphone world and such.

A little off topic is allowed for other things such as gaming console tech because a lot of people that were in the old thread in the One forum are big gamers and use their device as such. So it allows comparisons and to see just how close mobile gaming comes to console gaming.

If the mod feels this is a duplicate of the other thread then we shall discuss it at that point. That thread also isn't very active to begin with. It also would not be able to serve the purpose of what we are trying to build here.

P.s. I am trying to relay this in a way that does not come across as crass or in a rude manner. Thank you for your input.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] veeman:
You can discuss technology there also. It's open for anything HTC. If there's two threads for every single phone manufacturer, this place will get filled up device threads, which is not the point of Off Topic.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Archer:
First of all, please put the handbags down, ladies. It's alright dear, it's just a thread.

Secondly, it's not a duplicate as the other is an OT thread and this is to discuss more technical matters. So, with that in mind, it's not OT material and should be in General, which is where I'll place it now :)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] DeSaint2:
Thank you, Archer. We were told that this type of thread belonged in Off Topic so i apologize for the misplacement of this thread.

Ok, so I've searched and searched all over the net for a fix but none seem to work. We are using Airwatch (MDM) at work. I wanted to remove it, so I removed the work Email and I removed Airwatch (removed it under device admin) then uninstalled it. But still every option under screen lock is greyed out and listed as disabled by my Admin except Password (High Security). I've also done Clear Credentials and made sure I de-encrypted the device and MicroSD card.

Any other suggestions short of wiping the device?

***update*** it looks like the MicroSD card never got de-crypted and was causing the issue. The odd thing is I even removed the MicroSD card for testing and everything was still locked out.

Okay

'writing﻿ 'recovery'

Failed (remote : (invalid state))

finished

Why? I have to do "wipe data"? :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Forget this. You cannot install a custom recovery without unlocking. But you can obtain root without doing that.

From the screenshot you posted in your OP, it seems the drivers were working. You successfully copied to the phone the files needed to root but the batch file hangs at the point where it should install Superuser.apk.

First check which version of Android you are on. The motochopper root exploit only works on Jelly Bean.

If you are definitely on 4.1.1, try downloading the motochopper package again from THIS THREAD.

If you get stuck again, try asking there. It is in the TF300 section but the method is the same.

And slow down. Read more first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SimoneSessa:
Thank for the reply.

I've already tried with Motochopper for TF300.

Only the first time I saw this: http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx94/Simone_S1994/Cattura_zpsf3cc381a.png than it stops always at "Pushing exploit".

Fisrt, you unlock device. Than, you install recovery and I can help you to do it :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aajmj:
Yes I've tried the unlock tool. :( doesn't work for me.. I'm running 4.1.1. I don't understand what is causing it not to work. Probably hardware issue. I've read that if there is a conflict with the MAC address and the device serial number in the Asus data base the unlock code won't be sent.

I bought it used so I don't know the history. I was hoping that someone found a way around the unlock tool. Thanks

Got my new battery and low and behold it has brought my Wee Wallby back from the grave! The battery IC's must have been faulty, there's five pins on the circuit board for the motherboard to connect to so I reckon the battery logic is quite sophisticated.

Thanks for the help guys, I tried O2 in Glasgow but they didn't want to help at all unless the XDA was a warranty job.

I've also upgraded my ROM to the one and only XDA Developers special and I have to say it's a real improvement all round.

My stock 4.2.2 HTC one seems to have a problem with the proximity sensor during calls.

The sensor seems to work fine in terms when covering with my finger or whatever but in day to day use it repeatedly turns the loudspeaker on during calls resulting in hardcore ear pain.

Any ideas before I go deaf?

btw - sometimes it turns mute on instead but that's just annoying rather than painful

"What about the U.S. carrier-branded versions, you ask? Mackenzie has confirmed that they'll be bumped up to Android 4.3, too. That's not exactly a shock considering that the One is HTC's flagship smartphone, but it's still good to get word straight from the company itself. As for when all of these Android 4.3 updates will begin rolling out, Mackenzie says that HTC is aiming to have all U.S. SKUs of the One updated by the end of September."

I've discovered this in the past few days that my Note doesn't charge when I am operating it. In fact, the battery runs down even when the phone is connected to the charger, when I'm operating the phone.

As I understand, the above could be an issue with the kernel or the battery. The battery holds the charge and discharges fine, so I'm not sure if the battery is the cause of the issue. I'm using Phil's latest kernel, XT9.

Could someone take an interest in this issue and help me solve this? Thanks.

I remember reading somewhere that the Note will only draw 500ma irregardless of the charger amperage. If this is so, and since GPS + Screen or Screen + Heavy GPU can usually use more than 500ma, at best it will discharge slower.

heres another solution. i have noticed that our stock charger, the usb cable when you look at it, it has only 4pins.

try to buy usb cable with 5pins like this xperia usb cable and it is 10% thicker and shorter than our stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3clectic:
I had something similar. It would charge very slowly, if the screen was on, it would actually discharge slowly. Would charge when the phone was off, however, that would be sporadic. Did some research, searched the forums and searched some more.

I had tried 5 different chargers, 3 different USB cables and had bought a replacement battery.

Steps taken:

1. Cleaned with thick paper - no change

2. Cleaned with thick paper & rubbing alcohol - no change

3. Cleared with Compressed gas - no change (on first charge, there was a change but then back to normal)

4. Attempted to clean with vacuum (with finer nozzle) - no change

5. Used charging apps from playstore - didn't show charging details - considered the port was faulty

6. Tried to find default references for charging as mentioned in one of the forums - unable to find it

7. Found a replacement USB port charger board and replaced it - working fine

So it could be the actual port is faulty? The note I am using had slow charging for about 2 months prior to really slow charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
it also depends on rom/kernel, some kernel have low charging rate set like NX kernels had a long time.

Most of the time its the cable, cheaper/longer cables not of same quality.

Discharge rate vs charge rate makes it in general slower to charge ofcourse
