My friend has samsung galaxy mini and i read on xda that mini is getting an update of android4.4 kitkat.phone ram screen internal memory etc... Mostly all feature compare to ds are much lower including price. Still getting an updates. I think htc company is just interested in selling phone one time no updates nothing. Probably next time i wont go for htc may be ds is outdated have now time to change if no updates?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Where did you read that? Are you sure it wasn't about galaxy s4 mini / s3 mini or something? I'm fairly sure that the galaxy mini isn't getting any updates past gingerbread.

I know very little of sansumgs

all i know is that because we all here

seem to be born different,

most of us, 'd rather rely on a fellow dev,

than on a manufacturer who sold you the phone...

so, when there is an update and your device meets

the requirements to run it,

you'll surely find it here,

sooner or later..

As for HTC...it is a smartphone manufacturer,

not a software company,..

their main occupation is: selling phones,

not supporting operating systems running on them...

in the first place, how do you know that kitkat requires lesser ram and cpu usage? did Google said that? no, they didn't. unless you have a magic ball and predicted the future. otherwise give some prove that android 4.4 requires lesser ram and cpu usage
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
I'm highly doubtful that the Galaxy Mini will be receiving KitKat. If KitKat does have support for devices with low specs then OEMs will probably just release cheaper phones that run it out of the box, rather than spending money on developing updates for outdated phones.

As for whether you should upgrade or not, I think so. I had a DS for two years and bought a discounted Nexus 4 two weeks ago. Definitely worth buying one, and you can be sure that it will be receiving the update to KitKat.
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Its official announced by samsung and not by an dev. So i think m 100% correct read the details provided in link.
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Samsung hasn't announced the Galaxy Mini getting Kit Kat being official.

Knowing Samsung, your friend won't get 4.4 on Galaxy Mini. It's too old device, even if 4.4 is made to be working with low RAM devices, Galaxy Mini won't get the update.

Why? Because Samsung wants you to upgrade your device (all OEMs do).

Incase anybody hasnt figured it out the E980 DOES work on straight talk, I unlocked mine with cellunlocker.net, and maybe its just my area, but I get faster download speeds with my striaght talk SIM than I do with the att SIM
[LG Optimus G Pro] appleknight:
Had to use the old att.mvno apn to get data and mms working
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
I use the normal Straight talk APN settings and it works with no issues. Minus LTE.
[LG Optimus G Pro] appleknight:
I just ordered a 4g microsim, should be here in a couple days :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
So after reading this thread, I jumped over the Straight Talk's site (I already use an AT&T Straight Talk sim card), but I noticed they now show that they have AT&T 4G LTE compatible sim cards. I just ordered one for $6.99 with free overnight shipping. It explicitly states that you can keep your 4G LTE speeds with an AT&T 4G LTE compatible phone.

Hopefully it truly does allows for LTE, that would be pretty impressive for an MVNO! I'm actually on hold trying to talk to customer service to confirm, but if I can't get through, I'll report back after I get my new sim activated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ahrion:
Pretty sure it doesn't, but let us know if you get LTE as opposed to just 4G H+.
[LG Optimus G Pro] appleknight:
Like I said fellas, I have an att 4g sim and a straighttalk 3g sim, and I get faster speed with the ST sim, which is what made me order a new micro sim, because the one I have is one that I cut
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
You sir, are a buzzkill. :) Just kidding. So I did get in touch with their customer service who ensures me that I will truly receive LTE service. I am still skeptical, but will report back on Monday/Tuesday after I get my number moved over to the new sim. Saint Louis is pretty well blanketed with LTE service, so I should know as soon as throw the card in and update the APN. Here is the image on their site though shows LTE explicitly (not just the general reference to 4G).
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
Just so u know, u don't have to unlock your att phone to use on att straight talk. Every att phone works fine out of the box. Also 4g LTE is now available for att straight talk customers with a LTE capable phone and u have to order new sim which is 6.99 with free overnight shipping. Although a couple people claim LTE is working in there old sim.
[LG Optimus G Pro] appleknight:
I tried, no signal, had to unlock
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Straight Talk told me too it should work with my Sim I just bought 3 weeks ago. So I guess newer Sims work older won't work with Att LTE
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
I called customer service this afternoon and chatted with tech support this evening. Neither could activate LTE on my current sim card, but did confirm the new card I ordered will support it when I activate it. I tried the new APN for fun, but it was a no go. So Monday should be a good day with the new card :)

I got my sim card back in February, so it is obviously too old.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
What are the straight talk LTE settings for att?
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
Name: straight talk

APN: tfdata

Port: 80

MMSC: http://mms-tf.net

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS Port: 80
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
OK those are the normal settings. I need to go to a LTE area and actually see if I get LTE if not I do need to get a new straight talk Sim.
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
I thought the att.mvno apn was the old one and tfdata was the new?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Yeah but this one is the one I have and is around for a while. The straight talk one. The att one doesn't work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Z51:
Straight Talk is a good company but they throttled me too much. Cancelled. It and went to AT&T Go Phone, a little more expensive but I get LTE now and that is all that matters to me now
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
I see. I remember go phone as being ****ty. Like a year or so ago. Only 3g no roaming and no LTE. And expensive. They must have changed since I left the USA 1 and a half year ago and just came back.
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
So I got my new sim card today and activated it. Definitely getting lte now and fairly decent speeds. Last speed test averaged 16mbps and hit 20 for a little bit. Only thing I noticed that wasn't great is one area I was in had full bars of lte but didn't seem like I could load any pages or connections. Luckily that was about 10 miles down the road from me in an area I am not in often, but a little strange.

BTW, I'm using the tfdata apn to get LTE.
[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
[Q] Stuck on "htc quietly brilliant" screen after unsuccesful rootoing attempt.

Hi Everyone,

I made the decision to ROOT my One X, and install a custom ROM. Unfortunately whilst I was able to unlock the boot loader (through the HTC site, and the relevant fastboot commands) I was not able to root the phone. I made the mistake of following the How to Root HTC One X easily instructions (not hosted at XDA Developers).

My phone is now stuck on the "htc quietly brilliant screen", and unfortunately it seems that several other people have had the same issue with these instructions, of course I discovered this "moments" too late (when I scrolled to the bottom of the page!!!).

I am faced with a number of challenges -

My phone doesn't have a removable SD Card (so I can't access the memory - to upload a zip file, etc)

I have not installed ClockWorkMod, and therefore do not have any custom recovery options

In order to try and fix the issue that I am facing I have performed the following tasks -

Performed a Factory Reset (from the Hboot Menu)

Entered Recovery (then "Wipe Cache Partition" & "Wipe data/factory reset")

Downloaded firmware and extracted the recovery.img file

Uploaded the firmware to the phone (using: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

None of the above has helped, and on numerous reboots (after following the steps outlined above) I am still faced with the "htc quietly brillaint" screen.

If anybody has any suggestions on how I can go about fixing the phone they will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo
[HTC One X] kingofnice:
Install a rom *that is already rooted* with a clean wipe. In HBOOT you should still get an ADB connection. Therefore you can push a rom to the devices internal storage. Recoveries can be flashed with fastboot commands.

ADB Command:

adb push >rom.zip location here< /sdcard
[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
Hi sixcarnage,

I don't see how this is possible. I can't load a ROM zip file onto my phone, and even if I could I do not have ClockWorkMod or a similar recovery package with which to install the ROM. Is there some way of installing a ROM through the adb interface?

Any additional suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo
[HTC One X] kingofnice:
Read the edit.
[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
Faced with a new challenge - error message presented when entering Hboot menu

Hi sixcarnage,

Thanks for continuing to help. I have hit another "road block", I don't seem to be able to detect the device through adb. Since flashing the recovery.img file I am now seeing the screen below when starting into Hboot mode -

Even though I can enter the Fastboot menu, and when I do so I see the customary FASTBOOT USB message when I run the command "adb devices" I cannot see any devices connected. I think that something has gone astray with the USB side of things as well, hopefully this isn't a disastrous setback.

Any further help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Please don't make double threads, you already have one here. I answered your last question here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442715

And for rooting the software on the phone you must have a custom recovery ! You can't root via stock recovery

Flash this custom recovery

http://db.tt/7Pcsg6sj

And mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive, copy a rom, make a full wipe and install the rom. flash the boot.img and reboot.

Ow adb doesn't work in the bootloader, only in a running OS and recovery.
[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
ADB can't see the phone!

Hi Everyone,

I have discovered that the "USB" message in Hboot is normal, it occurs when the USB cable is connected whilst booting into Hboot. I simply started Hboot without the phone connected to the USB cable, and this issue has been resolved.

However I am still unable to push any files to the phone - in fact the phone is not being detected at all, when I run "adb devices" I see the following -

Thanks

[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
Sorry for the double posting, I was getting a bit carried away - trying to get this phone going :)

I have flashed the custom recovery that you linked; however I don't understand how to mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive, given that the phone will not load into Android. Are there some specialised instructions for doing this from the Hboot menu?

My biggest fear is that troubleshooting, and the hell hole of creating network drives, sharing permissions and all kinds of other thigns I had to do to stream my Media to my android and PS3 will just repeat itself or get worst if I upgrade.

What are the general experiences with media and directory sharing on Windows 8 vs Windows 7? Can you drop all of Microsoft's security mechanisms as a whole?
[Windows 8 General] buffalosolja42:
hm

write a simple script for your network file sharing, are you doing an upgrade or going from scratch?
[Windows 8 General] zetsui:
Unsure about that. I would like to from scratch since if I do make the move to Windows 8 I will probably load it onto an SSD and have two HDDs for storage
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Wrong forum, mate. This is Windows Phone 8. The Windows 8 forum is over there. Please ask a moderator to move this thread.
[Windows 8 General] SharpnShiny:
I was shocked with how stable Windows 7 is, it very rarely freezes or reboots etc.

I can't believe how often Windows 8 freezes, reboots, fails to start, can't diagnose startup problems or if it does, I do it 3 times and somehow it finds a problem on the third time, why is that?

I use exactly the same programs on each OS. I have used 8 preview, 8 and now 8.1 each one is unstable and creates problems. For a desktop user, it's a nightmare.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I have been running windows 8 on my daily use machine since the week it launched, not once has it frozen, rebooted or failed to boot. Nor have I heard of such prolific issues from anyone else
[Windows 8 General] garwynn:
Honestly I threw 8.1 preview on one of two new boxes at home, 7 Ultimate on the other.

Both with SSD caching and boot times are similar. Performance also seems similar.

I got one copy of 8 for one system and one for the other.

Metro was made for touch screens (and is great with one) - but the box with 8 will never have it.

So I have it boot straight to desktop and I'll live on the desktop except for occasionally finding an app.

(Think I might look at that Pokki or other start menu alternatives..)
[Windows 8 General] Trig0r:
If you have a touch screen go 8. If you don't stick with 7...
[Windows 8 General] Karchikumar:
According to me it is not up to the mark...... 7 is better may be future updates may change my attitude...
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I cannot find *one* thing superior in windows 7 to windows 8 bar the fact that driver signature enforcement is enabled (but can be disabled for a single boot if you need to install some drivers anyway, once installed an unsigned driver will work fine after a reboot).

Start button being absent like everyone complains about. Who seriously uses the start button? All it does is let you launch programs or shut the PC down. Well I can launch programs just fine from desktop (albeit I like a clean desktop so don't), task bar, start screen or via search. Search is easy to get to, hit the windows key to go to the start screen, start typing and it immediately searches for that program. Shutdown, I never shut down from the start bar anyway and haven't in years, Control-Alt-Delete, or charms bar > settings > Power > Shutdown. Or windows key + D to go to desktop (or the button on the task bar, or some other way that I don't care to mention) and hit alt-F4 and windows will prompt for shutdown. Admin functions like control panel etc, hold the windows key and press X, a menu appears where the start button used to reside and lists most useful functions immediately, or you can move the mouse into the bottom left so the button to go to the start screen appears and then right click it.

Metro/Start as they prefer to call it that (seriously, they dropped the metro name way before full release) you look at for all of 2 seconds. I have a tile on it to go to desktop, but prefer to use windows key + D. Other than that, I actually use it with tiles for my favourite programs neatly pinned to it.

The start button is archaic. I saw someone saying that its impossible to throw away years of using a start button, I honestly wondered who was still using it, it was hideous. I got my first PC when I was 8, 2002 if you must know. At the age of 8 you learn to do things 1 way and usually stick to that. Yet I got windows 8 shortly after release (it was still during the discounted price period) and adapted to the lack of start bar within an hour, prior to that I was a heavy computer user. There we go, 11/12 years of heavy computer usage with the start bar being present and I throw it out within an hour. That was so hard.

Things change. Deal with it. The start button has been with us for how long and it is finally old enough that it needs putting to rest. Once upon a time we only used "primitive" command line entry systems (many still do), many of those users were angry when the modern desktop appeared, now its commonplace.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Vista came out six years ago. Huge numbers of people *still* actually go into a menu structure to find their programs instead of just typing a few letters of the program name or description or executable file name, then hitting Enter.

The only conclusion I've been able to draw from this is that the majority of computer users are, in effect, idiots. This seems somewhat unlikely, but I'm pretty sure that recognizing the advantages in speed and convenience do not require above-average intelligence, yet people still fail to take advantage of it.

The Start screen is irrelevant to me, aside from its segregation of search results (fixed in 8.1 anyhow). The demand for Start Menu replacements says an awful lot about the intelligence of the Windows userbase, more than about the quality of the OS in general. With that said, I will grant that the Windows devs may have screwed up by failing to take into consideration just how dumb their target market is (at least with regard to computers).

Educating them - on a grand scale, the way MS did for the Start button in Win95 - might work. It would be interesting to see. The MS of today seems completely incapable of effective marketing and communication compared to the Microsoft of yesteryear, though.
[Windows 8 General] tp2215:
In my opinion, Windows 8 is a great system for what is under the hood. The system and startup is dramatically feature and has much more safety features built in. The fact that Microsoft built in Microsoft Security Essentials means that you no longer have to deal with anti-virus and firewall stuff and since it is built in, it doesnt slow down your system anymore is a bonus. Also, the new backup features, performance tools and task manager are greatly improves and much better then recent versions.

As for the metro (or "modern") garbage, If you are using your PC as umm.. a PC it is really un-needed and unnecesary but is easy to get rid of using third party apps to get you back to the Windows 7 style desktop. I currently use Startisback which also makes other desktop changes to get rid of metro completely. If you want apps, installed Google Chrome and use Google's new desktop apps. This would also make it much easier for Android users as everything pretty much syncs with the phone.

One small other "rant" make sure you use a uxtheme patcher and a visual style... whose idea at Microsoft was it to use black text in the window border but white text on the taskbar?

In my opinion that gives me the best of all worlds.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Actually I am. I find the idea of the start button to just be obsolete and the new system to be

FASTER

for power users who can be bothered to get their heads out of their asses and adapt to change.
[Windows 8 General] hakcenter:
Yes because clicking then moving your hands to the keyboard then typing is so much better than click click and click.

Saves movement, saves time but I guess it's just obsolete
