[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cinner:
I have had an HTC One XL for about a year, then an HTC One for a few months, which I sold and replaced with a Nexus 5. So I have the One XL and the N5 at the moment. There's two things I value most in a smartphone: the screen and the camera.

In my opinion the N5 screen is not as good as the HTC screen: colors seem a little duller and the diagonal viewing angles are downright poor in comparison. Still, it's not a bad screen.

About the camera, well, the N5 takes more detailed shots, that's for sure. I've done a bunch of direct comparisons and the N5 comes out on top when it comes to fine detail. However, and this is a big issue for me, the N5 camera is severely limited by the Android stock camera. You can forget about adjusting parameters, burst mode, disabling autofocus and other useful features the HTC camera provides. With the HTC camera, even though it is not as good as the N5 camera on a technical level, I feel more confident I'll get a good picture, although it depends on what you will be shooting. I take alot of pictures of my dog when we go for long walks, and the N5 camera is slow to capture movement so pictures tend to come out blurry. The HTC camera is not that fast either, but faster still and more suited for this scenario. Oh, and you can forget about taking good pictures during video recording on the N5, all you get is a small 1080p screenshot.

Speed wise, yes, the N5 is a joy to use. It really makes for a fun Android user experience, and loading times are definitely shorter on the N5 (loading web pages for instance).

I like the way the N5 feels in the hand too, much more so than the HTC One XL, despite being a larger phone.

Now here's the thing though, I'm regretting getting rid of my HTC One. To me it has the best of both of these other phones: a beautiful 1080p screen, good specs, and a very solid camera. Yes, I know the low resolution does not have many fans and admittedly when it comes to detail it suffers because of that, but its camera is a joy to use. Snapping pictures is blazingly fast and I hardly ever get blurry motion in my shots, which is perfect for my needs. So in the end, I will return my N5 and probably get a used HTC One to replace it. Or maybe I will wait a few weeks and see if Google does anything about the camera situation on the N5. For now though, my HTC One XL will keep me happy.

Using a 16gb Nexus 5 right now.

Feels like a nice upgrade from the HTC One X, the one thing I did notice is that.... it's a slab.

The One X feels really nice in my hands and I can't seem to hold the Nexus 5 in a way that doesn't have a corner poking my palm. I have large hands too and can't really imagine using the N5 with one hand if they were smaller.

Keeping my Nexus 5 but I will miss the design of the One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rwalterk:
I agree the screen isn't as nice, though the 1080p does make text crisper to my eye. And yeah, the camera is frustrating to use compared to the One XL's.

I also find the One XL nicer in the hand and it's easier for me to pick up off a flat surface, both due to its beautiful curves.

I've been testing the N5 on T-Mobile for the last week and am going to port my number over today from AT&T. I'll miss my One XL but can't justify paying AT&T $110/month vs. $70/month for T-Mobile anymore. T-Mobile's LTE coverage is good enough in L.A. for me to jump ship.

Ever thought about straight Talk. 45 dollars a month unlimited everything with a soft cap of about 3gigs on data. Plus they now have lye coverage.

or even a tmobile sim from metro for it. Im currently using my one xl on metro and get great 4g coverage. $40 a month withunlimited everything. Ive passed over 4GB data usage this month so far and im still not throttled.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cjshaw5880:
I'd maybe go that route, I was on Straight Talk for 3 months total, first month no throttling, second month 3 days in I got data cut totally til end of month, then 3rd month throttled badly/unusable pretty much, after a couple gb, of course it may just be random who they mess with. I would have loved to stay with Straight Talk, now I'm on T-mo for 70/month, may go to the $30.00 plan unlimited text and Data and 100 mins talk time. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crenda:
Have had my N5 just over a week now. I pretty much echo what others have said.

The OneXL is no slouch but the N5 is like lightening. The speed honestly made me laugh when I first tried it out.

The N5 feels better in the hand, soft touch back and sides on my black version are great. Bright multi color LED is handy too.

The extra gig of RAM is very notricable, as multitasking is snappy and that's one area I feel never was quite great on the HTC roms.

I think the design of the N5 is great, understated and sleek.

The two areas where the HTC still holds it own are-

-screen- being that it's "only" 720p it's still a great great screen. Colors are more saturated on the HTC and it's just crisp. The N5 screen is great too but you can see the saturation difference. Though I will stop short of calling the N5 screen washed out, because it's not, in fact when I put it side by side with an iphone the N5 colors were a much closer match than the HTC. However that added saturation in the HTC draws you in bigtime.

-Camera software- While you can get great shots from both devices. The HTC software has less shutter lag, focus' fast and has some of those nifty features like slomotion video which the N5 currently lacks. I was concerned about this as I have kids, but while the N5 camera software isn't as good, it's not so bad that I feel I'm really losing out.

Anyway- hopefully that helps anyone who's debating the swap. No regrets about swapping, but the HTC is certainly not a piece of junk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
That's a very funny idea a couple of posts back. "Upgrade to a subsidized IPhone" and sell it on Ebay to pay for an Android phone. It's so perfectly evil....meh, heh, heh. I'm hanging out for the M8 as well. The M7 has a lot of support and looks like it will be popular for some time but I figure I'll hedge my bets and see how the M8 pans out. If HTC continues on a roll, it's possible that the M8 will be "The Phone" to get for a while. The N5 is pretty good but could have been better. It will be interesting to see how the next Nexus phone pans out based on how well the N5 is doing now. I have a feeling the next one will be awesome.

I'm considering selling my one x and getting a nexus 5 at Christmas, the only thing that sucks is the lack of ottorbox cases.

(I dropped and shattered 2 one x), so I need a case that'll protect it from drops. Really wish they would make an ottorbox commuter for the n5 :\
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zeifers:
To the people who have used both phones, how's the camera on the nexus 5 vs the one xl.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xybur:
The One X takes quicker photos because the software is better optimized. The Nexus takes pretty sharp photos, but it takes longer for the camera to focus to get the optimal white balance and clarity.

The anti hand shaking built into the Nexus 5 is weird at first, and takes a little time to get used to. It's odd how stable the viewfinder is when panning left and right. Too bad it doesn't take "non blurry" photos unless you're extremely still and focus before the shot. The anti-shake works best on video recordings.

The quality of the images when transferred to a computer, assuming they were taken carefully, look good. But you don't get any indication of that when looking at the screen unfortunately.

Here are some photos I took, and you can see the ones where the images are over exposed: https://plus.google.com/photos/109680304754242940802/albums/5946522053989011137

Photosphere works great though, for the most part. This isn't the best example, because its dark, but it's well stitched.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shayne200:
Hi guys,

I want to flash my 1st custom ROM which is Omega v13.2. This requires bootloader XXUB...or XXUD...with corresponding modems. The modems are available to be downloaded via omega thread. My dilemma is how do I update my bootloader as omega ROM doesn't include one. My current phone status is as follows.

-i9505 bought from amazon.co.uk using on Three UK.

-android 4.2.2 stock firmware rooted using cf-autoroot.

-CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery

-Bootloader: i9505XXUAMDM (found using "android system info" app)

-Baseband: i9505XXUAMDM (found in settings/about device)

My only experience with modding is with a HTC sensation, so I am new to odin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I think XDA is the bee's knees!

Hello there mate!

You don't actually have to update your bootloaded. All you have to do is just download GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar first. The link is found under the installation guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253528

Quoted from the installation Guide :

Steps:

1.Go into download mode and ODIN-flash the modems from the link I mentioned above for a bootloader XXUD

------STEPS quoted from installation guide---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash modems (If you already have the correct modems, ignore this step):

Power Off your device completely

Wait a little and then power on device to download mode (Power button + Home button + Volume down button)

**If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

**If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

Go to Settings and make sure that modems flashed ok

This step is necessary to be done correct because XXUEMJ5 LTE modem will break your sound on old Bootloader

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. As soon as your phone reboots, check the baseband version. Make sure that it shoes something like "I9505XXUEMJ5"

3.As soon as you're done, you can now flash and Enjoy Omega V13.2

Hope this helps mate.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
There are a lot of threads about problems with an old bootloader and Omega Rom. You want my advice? Pick an other custom rom then Omega.

You don't need to upgrade your bootloader, in fact don't ever do it, if you don't have to.

[HTC Wildfire S] jcathorall:
I have an htc wildfire 2 for virgin mobile. My digitizer broke and i replaced it. The first one worked fine but fell out and broke while i was waiting on double sided tape from china. I ordered a second one but this one is unresponsive. It seems like i should calibrate the touch screen(various people with my problem say this worked for them) To do this you have to make a goldcard apparently. I found a program called simple goldcard but i have several problems.

Whats happening is if i try to use simplegoldcard to format my sd card it freezes. I used my pc to format the card and them i put it in the phone to get the cid. No matter what i try i can't get the CiD. I have htc sync installed but it does not recognize that my phone is plugged into my laptop. If i just copy HTC_ANDROID_GOLDCARD and PG76DIAG.nbh to the card it load it and i see:

Parsing...[PG76DIAG.nbh]

[1] MFG DIAG

Security fail!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

What do i do? Can i put the card in my moms galaxy s II and get the CiD that way?
[HTC Wildfire S] jcathorall:
I tried with the galaxy s II, it gives me a CID and successfully creates a goldcard but the phone just ignores the card.

I plan on picking up a dell venue pro 11 tablet (Baytrail) and was wondering how hard is it to dual boot these tablets? Id like to get android on. Is there a general thread out there?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The asus t100 thread might be relevant. The hardware is near identical.

In its current state, its not looking good. But unlike on the RT tablets and the clovertrail tablets, things do actually attempt to boot, so there is promise for the near future. Android you can get to boot fully, but its unusably slow and buggy.
[Windows 8 General] daLareid:
One of the most used software is Bluestacks which is alright but not excellent, and it runs it sort of like a VM. Not sure you can actually Dual Boot it unless you buy a Dual OS device such as the Asus Transformer Book Trio, there was a Dual Booting software in the works which look promising but there's no news on it.

[Windows 8 General] paperWastage:
give me $450 to buy a dell venue pro 11, and I'll get started on it as well :D

wait for someone with some technical skills and try and post their results... hopefully it's not as bad as the T100
[Windows 8 General] Klindworth:
with the t100 you can get into an efi like in this video too boot linux from an usb stick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsp8XFcAS7o

so it should be possible to install different OSs maybe one with a bootloader. shouldn't be to much different on the venue pro because win 8.1 kind of recommends it.

Does anyone know if the venue pro 11 baytrail version has soldered emmc memory or a msata solution for internal storage? i also would like to upgrade to 4gigs of ram to use it as replacement for my old notebook (2gig with no dedicated memory for graphics are really not what i'm hoping for)
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Memory on all the windows tablets so far has been soldered.

Storage I dont know.

Storage != Memory.
[Windows 8 General] daLareid:
It will most likely will come with a soldered memory making it really hard to be user replaceable, as far as I'm aware the Bay trail configuration only comes with 2gb RAM, but that might change in a couple days (November 7th) when this tablet is released. I'd suggest you check prices over at Amazon and Walmart since they're offering the 8 Pro at cheaper prices than Dell.
[Windows 8 General] dinohunter117:
Hey guys so I have been working on a way to fix our android issues. Currently this is still a proof of concept thing, but I have a sort of dual boot going. I have made a video of it in action.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyLgvlgpExY

Basically it is still really crude, but it is running in virtual box with a program called Genymoiton. It is decently fluid, but the 3D acceleration does not work (I am working on a fix) and the click and hold is still a little buggy because it does not register the tablet as a touchscreen, it does only clicks. This is also being worked on, but hopefully my goal here is to have both systems running inside of each other, so that we can have quick access to both. I will keep you guys posted with what else I can do, and I will probably put up another video sometime soon.

I have read a pile of material now on returning to Stock. I am still confused, and want to turn my One back to stock in order to sell it.

I have a Telus Mobility HTC One

Firmware 1.29.661.17

HBOOT= 1.44

I am rooted

I have S on

Ok, now that this is all out of the way, here is what I want to accomplish:

1. I want to return the HTC one to stock

I learned a valuable lesson. I really should have taken a nandroid backup before jumping into flashing custom roms. My bad. I have never done it. Now I know why.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction?

Things I have done/looked for:

-I have searched for a 1.29.661.17 nandroid backup for TWRP. There was a link for one, it is dead. I have PM'd the original poster in hopes they still have it.

-I have searched for a RUU to download. I haven't had much success, or what I saw confused the heck out of me.

Now, if someone could please assist - What is the correct procedure for me? Can someone point me to the right place, link to go?

I appologize. There are a bundle of posts on returning to stock. I didn't mean to open another one.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbabiuk:
Thank you! So one last question. Do I just flash it like any other ROM in twrp? Or do I have to put it in the twrp backups file then hit restore? Because if that is the case I'm kind of pooched. I downloaded the file and copied to data/twrp/backup. When I go to twrp it doesn't show up.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
The file you downloaded is in rar format (kind of like a zip). Get winrar and extract the files it contains (system.ext4.win, etc) and then copy them into the twrp backups folder in same manner as other backups, then use TWRP restore function.

Yipppppppeeeeeee!

At last! Not only have the guys at TomTom fixed what seemed to be memory overflow when the phone was moving onto another cell, but when the phone rings, it automatically mutes TomTom! Thanks TomTom for finally fixing it.

Just to let you know, I'm running TomTom 5.21 with a TomTom Wired GPS, ROM V 1.11.00 WWE, Radio V 1.03.00 (not O2's), ExtROM 1.11.162 WWE.

I still have the TomTom 3 POI file and not the TomTom5 POI file, so I'll have to test with this version.

Therefore, I can make the following assumptions and hopefully help all the XDA2i guys out there having problems;

1) If you have a wired GPS, you must turn off the Infra Red Beam (Settings, Connections, Beam - Make sure box is not ticked)

2) There is a problem with the XDA2i crashing when using the TT5 POI file, if so, replace this with TT3's POI file. This file is in the Great-Britain-Map directory on the Storage Card and is called poi.dat, as I said above, hopefully TT5.21 has also fixed this problem, I'll let you know once I've tested

3) There is a problem with the XDA2i crashing when the phone is enabled and you drive between GSM cells, it seems as the memory gets screwed up and then the device crashes. TT5.21 has fixed this problem for me. Also bear in mind, I'm running the Radio V1.03.00 which may help matters.

Hopefully this will put to bed some of the problems with XDA2i and TomTom. Sorry if this has been posted before. Also to confirm, when I'm now using TT on the XDA2i and taking calls, these calls are also via a bluetooth headset.

Big round of applause to TomTom for finally fixing this for us!
