[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scootmien:
The battery life on my HTC One is incredible. I will easily get three days out of a single charge with moderate use. I posted my battery usage stats over at Phandroid a few months ago showing exactly how well it performs. I can even get 100 hours on a charge with light use.

The aluminium is great but the very first thing I do with a new phone is to put a cover and a screen protector on it anyway.

I'm keeping the HTC One but replacing my old and now somewhat malfunctioning Galaxy S2 with a Note 3. It will be very interesting to run the HTC and Note 3 back to back and see how they perform against each other.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagalah:
That depends on how you define moderate use.

If you are saying screen on time, then HTC one can hold about only 5-6 hours most which is just about normal range of android device.

But GN2 can get longer life than that for sure.

3 days just mean nothing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
If the display size, s pen, features, battery life, sd card intrigue you enough to spend premium price for note3 then go for it.

Remember though, just few months ago, HTC one was proclaimed by many critics to be the best android phone to date. I'd say wait until note3 has been released for at least a month to read real user thoughts and reviews before deciding.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scootmien:
Not having owned a Note 2, I shall take what you say under advisement. ;)

Admittedly, I should have added at the top of my last post that all this is from my own experiences and my own opinion and in no way am I saying that ALL HTC Ones have incredible battery life. At the end of the day though, I don't own all HTC ones, just one, mine, and the battery life is incredible compared with my iPhone 5, SGS2 and SGS3 with the same usage. If you claim that the Note 2 has better battery life, and reviews seem to indicate that the Note 3 is even better than that, I look forward to a stellar battery life from my Note 3 when I get it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ckdapro:
Hi,

I will sell my S3 and then use my HTC One and Note 3. I think I will most of the time use the Note 3, but when I do sports or stuff, I may take my One.

Previously had a Note 1, liked the screen size, but not the battery, cpu performance and screen quality. So I think Note 3 will compare in screen quality to my One (which is great) and as I'm reading a lot, it will be great for me.

I bought the One as an upgrade to my S3, because I like new phones, I really like the design and the specs, but finally, as I'm always putting a cover on my phones, I will care less and that's why I am OK with the plastic Note 3.

Still waiting for the release...

Regards,

Ben

I sold my HTC one today, using an old phone for 10 days till I get my note 3. HTC one is the best phone I've ever owned. I'm stoked about the larger screen and pen and features of note 3 though,
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinoal:
Same for me ! I have the HTC One and That's my favorite phone ever! The disign is incredible and Sense is so great! But many things boring me about this phone :

- Only 32 Go without Micro SD Port

- No Removable battery

- I want a bigger screen.

I'm longer hesitate to change to GN3 for theses reasons :

- Removable Battery

- S Pen

- Micro SD

- 6,7 Screen

- Leather Back to avoid scratch because I hate covers

So what do you think? I change or not? :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdingway:
Speakers definitely not. Display is equal imo (quality). Bigger screen obviously assuming you want it. Build quality is much nicer on htc but tbh who gives a crap about the shell everyone who cares about their phone gets a great case.

It's REALLY important that I recover as much data as I can. I've been following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

I have my mccblk0 (Some 14.6Gb) dumped to a RAW file, but am unable to attach it as a VHD to proceed with the tutorial. Windows gives me an error about the Disk Management console not being up-to-date. I've tried it on two different computers, one of which being a version of Windows 7 that's pretty darn close to being stock. I've searched through Google and through the posts on XDA threads and can't find a single other person who's seen my error. I'm really at a loss on how to proceed from here.

You could try to flash the raw data to a USB pen and then mount the partitions you need on a GNU/Linux (they are typically ext3/4 partitions, not supported by Windows natively) box to get at least your files back.

The new Dell Axim X51v has 256MB RAM on WM5.0. Why the hell didn't the 'Worlds' Most Powerful fu..ing phone' get this? :evil:

HTC..you are are truly wicked!!! :evil:

You build the Dell Axim don't you? :? Microsoft..you test your software don't you? Stupid question.. you obviously don't, but are quick to charge for incomplete and unpolished software. In contrast you are quick to prosecute people who actually copy your buggy software.

HTC...how can you make new geneeration devices with under-powered bits? 64 MB RAM? C'mon!! Couldn't you have at least given us 128MB RAM so we don't all worry about memory management? Are you listening? Aaarrghh... who cares right :evil: ??!!??

I can't make up my mind if the Universal is an excellent technological achievement or an overpriced, overhyped piece of poorely stiched together meta-technologies. :roll:

So now, I have to learn to become a technology guru, not because I want to, just so I can use my bloody phone. :x

I give up. :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] no1:
No need to have a fit mate! :)

You've got your numbers mixed up. The Dell Axim has 256MB of

ROM

, and in fact has 64MB of RAM (same as the Universal).

Windows Mobile 5 introduced persistant storage which basically means everything is stored in ROM, rather than RAM as with WM2003. This means you now have the full amount of RAM available to you, and 64MB is loads!

There's also the issue that if you double the RAM size you double the memory power requirements which affects battery life.

Take a look at this article which explains it all a lot better than I can, and you'll see it's actually a really good idea to have 64MB:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Persistant Storage

no: 1

Thank you for your informative reply & I found the provided link very useful too. Well, they should have still given us at least what the Dell has got. Except for the keyboard and phone, we've not got much more and we pay more than double! Anyway, thanks again.

I'll discuss these issues with my shrink at our next meeting, I just can't control myself.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DaleReeck:
What is in the Dell vs. other PDA's that HTC makes is not really something that is comparable. Dell pays HTC for making the Axims. I imagine that if Dell is willing to spend the money on higher specs, they can do that. HTC doesn't decide what's in the Dell Axim, Dell does (for the most part). HTC then engineers and builds the devices.

On the other hand, HTC makes the JasJar for i-mate. i-mate decides the specs they want (with some input from the phoner companies I'm sure) and they pay HTC to make their PDA's. So, just because HTC makes the PDA's doesn't mean they are all going to be same spec-minded or the same cost. It's up to the "brand" (HP, Dell, i-mate etc) what HTC makes for them.

As far as deciding whether the Universal is an excellent technological achievement or an overpriced, overhyped piece of poorly stiched together meta-technologies, it's a little bit of both. It is an excellent technological achievement AND it is overpriced :D

Re: HTC & MS are Cruel & Manipulative!I know u visit

The motherboard and software was designed

for 128MB RAM, but they put only 64MB into

Universal. Saves THEM money and reduces

power consumption.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
It's a big shame!!!

They promised us heaven, and I find myself in hell!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
256Mb of Ram?

I have a (old) pentium 4 laptop that works well enough with 256Mb of Ram. Doesn't that seem a bit excessive for a PPC, especially as your battery would only last for about 93 seconds?!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
As i said, 128mb, or 256 MB, do you have a JasJar? Do you know how it feels, to spend 1.094 euro plus 174 for and SD card ultra speed 2 GB, an not being able to use it at all, with the very simple applications? My Treo 650 runs much better!!!

And then, I shouldn't cry for at least 128 MB??? :twisted:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
@trendstyle,

Sell the device.

Anyways, what is it that the 64MB RAM of the JJ does not permit you to do? Why on earth would you need 128MB of RAM? I multi-task extensively with the device and yet face no memory errors. Are you trying to run Photoshop or something like that on your device?

As another forum member has rightly pointed out, what on earth would you need 256Mb RAM for??? It wouldn't even last those 93 seconds!!!

Word of advice to other people who want to crib about the device. Before you start getting all nutty about spending this much and that much on a device, do a thorough research or wait for some reviews. You will save yourself and others the agony and disappointment.

My 0.002.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
I entirely agree with Universaldoc.

While listening to the media player and running two processor and memory intensive applications Planmaker and TextMaker simultaneously I still have 10MB of RAM to spare. Why do I need more RAM. I am to use my JJ practically and not to see what amount of applications I need to open simultaneously to kill the JJ. More RAM is technically possible. But do I need it at the expense of battery life. A big "NO" for me at least.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
Do you?

10 Mb are enough?

There are some games, that requires 15 MB of free RAM!!

And in a super top device, this should be acceptable???

Give a look here....

Then tell me if I am the only one....

I change a mobile phone every 4 months, buying always what is the top of the technology...

And believe me, at the moment, jasjar doesn't deliver what I-mate promised...

I look forward to a new rom, solving memory problems!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jaythemagician:
A new rom that came with 256mb memory with it, now there's something....

The universal is a good device and memory is fine on it you can have loads of apps running and it still runs faultlessly. This is not a lap top, if you ned one of those buy one nor is this a mobile it's a great device that tries to accomodate both, sure it could have more memory but then you'd be *****ing that " it's primarily a phone, why is the battery life so bad, it runs out half way through the day and i miss loads of important calls"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Yes, I do thanks, and if you "can't use it at all, with the very simple applications" then I'd suggest there's something actually, properly, really, honestly, very wrong with yours?! (Especially if your Treo 650 runs much better)

I know people are now used to computing with 3Ghz AMD64's with 1Gig RAM, and 100's of Gigs of HD space, but let's be realistic here, for a device of it's size, it's fantastic.

Given 128Mb RAM, I'm sure some people would only move on to bemoaning the fact that it 'only' runs at 520Mhz, it 'only' has 128Mb Rom, it 'only' has 802.11b, it's 'only' got 1.3 megapixels, etc, etc, etc.

The JasJar is not perfect, and there's a thread in this forum where people are already posting their JasJar 2 wishlists, but in my personal opinion (and I'm sure many agree), it's currently the best PDA/Phone available, it has near flawless performance for my purposes, and I for one am more than happy with it.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
very funny...

By the way, do you think I am having fun??

Maybe I am posting this, to make sure, that until something get fixed with a new ROM, nobody will do the same mistake I did, Jasjar has been sent out in beta release....

Concerning this, I have a Dell Inspiron, 9300( a laptop), 2.14GHz Centrino Sonoma(equivalent to a Pentium 4, 3,8 Ghz), with 2 GB of ram, and Nvidia 6800 go with 256MB of video memory,I like my tech stuff to be the top, and this is why I bought right away the Jasjar, as all the review I read on the web they were screaming it was great!

My Inspiron is great, Jasjar, not at the moment...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ramram:
In my point of view I assume 64 RAM are enough but if we had a big DOC storage well lets say about 256 MB this could be something for us, but the facts and the sad parts, which it's the 128MB of DOC :evil: !!!

Well, I just installed the trial of Arvale II - Ocean of Time, and it's working perfectly for me. (Bl**dy irritating music though). Myst worked too. And various other games that I've tried.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I'd already say my JasJar is significantly more stable than my Jam, and that's after doing numerous ROM upgrades on my little Jam.

Me too, so we made the right choice then, I certainly couldn't find any better PPC's...

I've never really understood the point of extending internal storage when you can plug in a 2Gb SD card. Admittedly most today plugins only work from internal storage, but how many today plugins can you need!? (or what am I missing?)

Why are we accepting faulty goods for brand new devices?

For the most part I agree with you guys, but trendystyle has really hit the nail on the head for me, in saying that he loves his cutting edge technology and by his PC/laptop specs we can see this must be true. point being, the jasjar is a great device and, no, I can't say that i know of a better one as feature rich as it. I just can't help but feel somewhat dissapointed, as I expected it to outperform Pocket PC/phones of the past.

Well as was mentioned in the link provided in the 2nd post on this subject:

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/07/14/438991.aspx

"Downsides? Yes, nothing is free. Flash is much slower than RAM. Reading and writing large amounts of data will take longer on a PS device than it did on a RAM device. That initial sync that pulls down 400 contacts and 5000 emails will take longer. Some write operations will seem a bit more sluggish. But I believe you'll find that the upsides significantly outweigh the downsides."

Well that says it all, doesn't it? Great device, but aside for the bugs, which will be resolved eventually through newer ROMs,....expect it to be somewhat slower in operation compared to the PPCs' of old!

What a load of crap!! You guys are killing me. C'mon admit it. We've been had!

BMW advertises a new state of the art car with everthing techy on-board, but within a week you realise that most of it doesn't work as well as you expected compared to your old BMW with supposedly inferior technology!! The on-board computers' software was buggy and didn't tell you how much petrol you had left in the tank - now you're stranded on the motorway wasting valuable time and possibly loosing money. What do you do?

Either: I know most of you guys are bloody tech genius's, but where's your common sense gone? You'd take that £50,000 car right back to BMW or whoever and demand a brand new replacement, with a warning that if you should experience these problems again you want a full refund!!

or : Check BMW developers.com for a ROM update for your cars' computer?

Cut me some slack guys!! You'd be up in arms at the dealer who sold you this 'brand new state-of-the-art technological piece of ****e' and demand your money back. And the law would be on your side, hence the reason why they invented 'Recall'. You guys are so forgiving (great quality to have), but surely not at the expense of your pocket!!

Why not just say, we don't mind being free beta testers for HTC and MS because we get to play with the latest technology! And we don't mind paying them for the supposed privilidge :D

Look, Bottom line. When it comes to the consumer, we always get screwed unless you know your rights well enough to purchase in a manner that doesn't infringe on your consumer right to a full refund if the product is faulty at the point of sale and in my opinion every PC/gadget is, why else must we always update, upgrade, re-store/backup etc....

That's just my opinion, and I don't need to be a rocket scientist to come to this conclusion.

Re: Why are we accepting faulty goods for brand new devices?

Thank you mackaby, I couldn't believe that no one would face the truth, most of the time, people hide th head under the ground, not to see, but if everybody does like that, we'll never have the improvement that they promised before buying, that we expect and that we paid for!

We need to scream it, as I-mate, QTEk, or HTC, will take quick action, in putting a patch, and deliver the wonderful product Jasjar, universal or 9000 can be, at full speed, not working 50%!!

And as soon as I'll get what was promised to me, I'll be the first to write on every forum, how great is this ppc/phone, because as stated from every corner, potentially, nothing is comparable to Jasjar!!!

Obviously, if you install nothing, you might have no problem, in playing 1 game, but install 10 sw, as I did, on my 2GB SD Ultra II, with maybe installed on the ram few SW, like spb today, run the games 2 times each, and check what happens, even if you close all the apps, some remains in the RAM still, and you will find yurself with 3 MB, and not even able to shoot a picture of 1M!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
TBH I don't see what the fuss is about. The JASJAR performs and behaves exactly as I expected it to. The only major dissappointment for me is the lack of a [ctrl] key on the keyboard.

I was well aware that it would be significantly slower than my HX4700 due to the PS. Not bothered though.

trendystyle: you're so right, but we are and will remain in the minority whilst so many accept such vital improvements like PS and give way to the fact that the consequence is a major performance hit. Like the others mentioned, I too stress-tested the Jasjar ability to multitask and it did seem to cope, but then it would, it's running a 'lite' version of MS Office applications and the software these some people use obviously isn't memory hungry. But like yourself, I like to indulge in the occasional game or two and don't particularly want to play 2D Solitaire or slow paced 3D point and click adventure games. How about a bit of Quake like on the Axim X50v.

Admittedly, I didn't buy the Jasjar for games, otherwise I would have bought a PSP or something like it, but it's hard to deny that most PCs' with a 500+Mhz processor can handle basic 3D games and thus are capable of rendering movies at decent fps and higher resolutions.

It stands to reason that IF this device (I agree, it has awsome potential - that's why I bought it in the first place!) is capable of doing this, there will be obvious benefits to the user across the border i.e. faster refresh rates etc...

Just wish everyone could see, we are all batting on the same side, even if our differing opinions don't seem to show it! :D

Anyway, it's good to see someone else accept what should be obvious to all! :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Oh, good God, I give up!

NONE of the issues mentioned here: RAM size, Memory type, Software compatibility, Slower access times using PS, etc, etc, etc can possibly come as a surprise to anyone who put a bit of thought into their purchase. (With the possible exception of a couple of bugs, and even then, WM5 is a HUGE improvement over WM2003SE)

I'm particularly amused by the comment about i-mate not delivering what they promised. As far as I'm aware they have delivered EXACTLY what they promised. Anyone expecting anything more from their JasJar either chose to ignore all previously published information, or just didn't bother looking.

I'd also like to put forward the crazy theory that the vast majority of performance problems being experienced are more to do with the fact that people are simultaneously running about 15 different pieces of software which was written before WM5 (and it's apparently excrutiatingly slow ROM) existed, and expecting to notice no difference in performance whatsoever.

Right, time for me to leave this thread alone, before my blood pressure rises even further...
