These are all the phones i have had this year. I trade for them on craigslist/sell them, plus some upgrades along the year. So you are alright man. To answer your question tho, my HTC One is by far my fvorite phone i have used this year, other than the fact the battery took for ever to charge, I believe is the phone if the year.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
Lol how much money have you lost in the process? I lost 200 dollars from note 2 to HTC one (less 100 thanks to a rebate with HTC).

I'm going to lose another 200 when I sell my HTC one for ~250. Luckily, there was a 150 cashback on sign up with discover card (thanks slickdeals).

So all in all, this journey has cost me 150 and whatever accessories I bought for each phone. I guess its not to bad

This is a bad habit I intend to end.

I just pray the HTC one 2014 does not have wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Only deal where I know for a fact I lost money was trading my galaxy s4 for the LG Optimus G pro. Good deal at the time I thought. But when it came time to try to sell it. No one wanted to buy it. Seriously I had it on eBay and craigslist and no one was biting until finally some guy offered me 300 and I let it go for that. This was like 3 weeks after it had came out also. I wanted to love it but the speaker volume on that phone was atrocious. Beyond awful.

The good thing about all those phones is that I've made about 200 dollars in Google play with all the promos Samsung and HTC have been offering this year lol. So there's that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
I have both N5 & HTC One GPe, both bought on their release day. So far, I'm keeping N5 as my daily driver, aside from audio, which is a big step down from One's Beat boom sound, almost everything else seems a little better with N5. Still can't decide on display quality, HTC One has colder whites, colors pop more but N5 is actually better at rendering skin tones. And I definitely like N5's screen ratio better, text flows/wraps better when screen is a bit wider. As for build quality, I love the craftsmanship of my HTC One (absolutely no cosmetic flaws), but N5 feeds surprisingly good in hands, the feather weight doesn't feel cheap at all and is actually more comfortable to hold than the One.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
Awesome. After a surprising 2 day wait, I got my nexus 5. Speakers are acceptable. Blazing fast... Even compared to HTC one.

Sadly, seems I lost the lottery and mine has 4 dead pixels. Off to RMA queue.
[One (M7) General] ranova:
I'm going to break down the announced features of KitKat versus what is in the latest KitKat with Sense 5.5 to the best of my knowledge.

This is based from:

http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/

Is x feature in Kitkit w/ Sense 5.5?

Just say “Ok Google” (on homescreen): NO, Not in the stock Sense launcher, they state it is on the Nexus 5 only. Must sideload the Nexus 5 Google Launcher

A work of art (Full screen coverart on lockscreen): NO, still shows the coverart in the little bar on the lockscreen

Immerse yourself (in full screen apps, swipe from the top of the screen to get notification bar): YES

Faster multitasking: UNKNOWN, Sense multitasking seems about the same performance as before

[*]The future is calling (Contact prioritization AND places/business search within dialer): NO

[*]A smarter caller ID (looks for matches from businesses with local listings when they call): NO

All your messages in the same place (Hangouts): YES

Emoji everywhere: YES - had it in 4.3 using sense keyboard, but now it will have emoji in the Google Keyboard

[*]Print wherever, whenever (built in printer functionality): NO? I do not see any options for printers, have to use Cloud Print

Pick a file, any file (New Open From ui): YES

Your office, anywhere (Quickoffice): YES, install from Play Store

Chromecast support: YES, install from Play store

Chrome web view: UNKNOWN, Didn't have time to test

Closed captioning: YES

Device management built-in: YES

Downloads app redesign: YES

Easy home screen switching: NO, no options to select default launcher

Email app refresh: NO, have to side load the AOSP mail app

Full-screen wallpapers with preview: NO, unless you install the Nexus 5 Google Launcher

HDR+ photography: NO, unless you install the AOSP camera

Infrared blasting: YES, Already had it since the HTC One launched

Location in Quick Settings: YES, have to enable the GPS toggle in the quick settings.

Location modes and monitoring: YES

Low-power audio playback: UNKNOWN, need someone to test

Music and movie-seeking from lock screen (long press play/pause to select location in song): NO

Secure app sandboxes: UNKNOWN

Step counting built-in (built in pedometer): NO, hardware limitation

Tap to pay, built a new way (Google Wallet Tap n Pay): YES!

Touchscreen improvements: NO (they say Nexus 5 only)

Feel free to add any more technical changes from the developer site changelog: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html

Screen Recording: YES, tested with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slimdroid.screenrecoder

New Bluetooth profiles: YES, tested with Bluetooth earbuds, volumes are now linked

Process States: YES, its located in Developer options > Process Stats
[One (M7) General] a box of kittens:
You can set a different screen as home I believe.

Printing can do from gallery but as for things other than pics Idk
[One (M7) General] ranova:
The Home Screen feature is not setting a different screen as home, its the ability to set a different default launcher easily.

Yeah, you could always print from gallery to network printers. KitKat introduces settings to add cloud printers and compatible printers
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
I think the "Ok Google" part shouldn't really apply as that's only native to the Nexus 5, not 4.4 :)
[One (M7) General] pradeepd:
Thanks for listing them. I was scratching my head on what's new. Thanks.
[One (M7) General] dbaler:
So, [Yes] means it's in? And [No] means it is not?
[One (M7) General] ranova:
yeah, sorry, title makes it confusing
[One (M7) General] jpzsports:
I won't be getting the update til end of January, but was wondering if text messages received with the new default Google Hangout app (or whatever you choose as your standard SMS app) will be able to been seen as a preview on the sense lockscreen. On 4.3, if I download Hangouts, I lose that lockscreen SMS preview feature.
[One (M7) General] ranova:
no, my default SMS app is Hangouts atm and it doesnt show up on the lockscreen
[One (M7) General] kewkie:
Interesting thread, thanks :)

So seems like most of the features are in the GPE version for our HTC, right?

So, not a real improvement, except its called "KitKat 4.4"?!
[One (M7) General] jpzsports:
Interesting... Is there still a default Sense messaging app? Or did Hangouts fully replace it?
[One (M7) General] KiraYahiroz:
Does transparent bars work with 3rd party launchers like Nova/Apex?

At the moment it just seems like the same Sense 5.5 on 4.3 with just a few little extras. Pity about the lockscreen, I still prefer Sense 5's lockscreen where you can choose what type compared to 5.5's mashed up one. And hopefully the next version of Sense will be ART compatible too.
[One (M7) General] ShortyMack:
Thanks for the nice breakdown!
[One (M7) General] ranova:
yeah, default Sense messaging app is still there
[One (M7) General] ranova:
Transparent notification bar works in the stock Sense, Nova, and the Google Experience Launcher.

Yeah not a fan where you cant swipe between messages/events/etc and you have to press the > at the left/right side on the lockscreen
[One (M7) General] ranova:
most of the features should be in the GPE version for the One, except for the features that are specific to the Nexus 5 (Google Exp Launcher, pedometer, etc)

KitKat really wasnt a huge change, but I'm happy certain things made it (Wallet Tap n Pay, Bluetooth expanded profiles, Location modes and monitoring, etc). I just wish they updated the dialer to have the new dialer stuff.
[One (M7) General] IE-coRe:
What about the advanced ram usage information? i cant find it on my one with 4.4 and sense
[One (M7) General] kewkie:
Indeed, i like the dialer on GPE, i mean.. when i call a number i know who i call, but it's still a "nice to see" feature :D

But well.. yeah.. im really disappointed too, they didnt really do big changes on sense 4.4 :(

[One (M7) General] omar302:
Bluetooth MAP support (BT enhancements): HTC had this enabled from day one & still works in the latest update.

Location in Quick Settings: , There is “GPS” in the quick settings to enable/disable GPS/Location.

Low-power audio playback: , I think this refers to the Bluetooth Low Energy & the HTC One already had this since the 4.3 update.
[One (M7) General] IE-coRe:
Another change I noticed in 4.4 is that they changed the way emoticons are handled. If you use the normal hangouts ones you will still always see the HTC ones.

[One (M7) General] Entropy512:
Has anyone actually confirmed this working?

I don't mean Wallet saying it's ready - I mean the device actually responding to a payment terminal. If it actually responds, HTC added a ton of stuff that is not present in AOSP.
[One (M7) General] ranova:
Ill let you know when I go to CVS today. I was just basing off the fact that Wallet enables me to turn on Tap n Pay
[One (M7) General] ranova:
MAP support - nice to hear that, I know HTC had a lot of BT enhancements vs AOSP.

Location in Quick Settings -thanks for the tip, GPS toggle isnt enabled by default

Low Power Audio Playback - BLE is different from Low power audio. BLE is just low power enhancements when interfacing with a BLE accessory. LPA allows you to play music, longer
[One (M7) General] mkoby:
I know people with MotoX devices that reported it working fine after their 4.4 update. The differences aren't from HTC, they're from Google adding "Host Card Emulation" to KitKat, which basically removes the need for the "secure element" that the carriers were trying to enforce so that you could only use ISIS. It's definitely in KitKat and not something HTC added.

Edit: See the Android Dev site for more info on Host Card Emulation -- http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html#44-hce
[One (M7) General] threshfire:
"not all chipsets will support the feature, and that the Nexus 5 is currently the only device to take advantage of it. Google claims to be "work[ing] with our chipset partners" to get more devices on board, but we'll have to wait and see what that means for existing hardware. Given that the Nexus 5 uses a Snapdragon 800 chipset, it would seem plausible that DSP tunneling could come to some other S800-based products via an Android 4.4 OTA update, but it's still far from a given."

[One (M7) General] ranova:
damn :(
[One (M7) General] gamer765:
Doesn't the HTC One already support this? On Sense, look in your build.prop and you'll see several lines referencing LPA such as tunnel.decode=true lpa.decode=true, etc. AFAIK, those lines MUST be set to false in order for audio mods such as ViPER4Android to take effect. I'm currently on GPE and those lines do not exist in my build.prop, so I think HTC has implemented its own LPA.

I've updated to ARHD 40.3 but I still can't download google wallet (it says it's not compatible with my device).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anastasios912:
Hey everybody, so I'm trying to get my phone to stay awake while charging (specifically for use in a car dock). The "stay awake" option was working for a while and all of a sudden it stopped working. My phone is rooted with only 1 xposed tweak installed (tweakbox) and lux. However, I have tried with and without and it still won't work..I'd like to keep my timeout to 30 seconds except while plugged in.

Recently I tried turning off dev options, reboot, turn on dev options, reboot, turn on stay awake, reboot - still, nothing. It refuses to stay awake while charging.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas beyond factory resetting...I hate using apps for this kind of thing, I'd rather stay with the system options but I guess if I can't get it to work I'd install some minimalist tweak or app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl999:
I am modifying a app in smali. Using the second code snippet I am trying to add data to logcat. When I first tried the app forced closed. I looked at logcat and I got a SecurityException to add the permission "INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" I added that permission to the manifest. I tried again and still got FC'd. This time however I noticed that PackageManager was not granting permission to these permissions. Something to do about not being signed with special platform keys? My device is rooted. That's not a problem because when I am done I will remove this code from my app thus making it a non-root app again.

Any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl999:
Looks like I fixed it on my own. Had to add permissions and move the app to /system/app and run it with uid -2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motojdm:
Prior to 4.4 I had been using APEX launcher. It was very clean and simple. However, they have ceased to update their launcher for a while now. Does anyone know if a launcher available out there that has similar characteristics while maintaining the same aesthetics as 4.4? Thanks XDA!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayclarke94:
Give Nova launcher a shot. I've been using it for a while now and wouldn't go back to any other launcher.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
To add on to jayclarke94, Nova is definitely a good--if not better--alternative to Apex, however, if you want the aesthetics of 4.4 OOTB it may not hurt to opt-in for Nova's beta launcher. You can find the opt-in link on their G+ community page: https://plus.google.com/communities/103449253667195874971. It's totally free, will give you the look and feel of the Google Experience Launcher, and--better yet--has loads of customization options! :D

Here's a sample screenshot:

Looks strikingly similar to the GEL, eh? :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincibluer6:
Another vote for Nova. Launcher is quick, has a lot of options, and the beta has the transparent bars.

I went for prime and I feel it was worth the couple bucks to support the dev and get the gestures and unread counts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RUGGNATION:
I use Holo Launcher HD. It just updated to include KK transparency. I've used it for over a year now and like it the best. Very similar to Nova Beta but includes a few features that I really like that Nova leaves out.

Check it out, its free & on the market.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singlebyte:
Apex is still being developed. I am on new beta for kitkat right now. Just find official thread to find release.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Unread counts is missing tons of apps though...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGvossman:
Same here. Also, the free version of Apex has most of the paid features from Nova such as gestures.

I'm on my 2nd RMA, and one thing I noticed with this device and my original device is light bleeding along the left side of the phone right beside the volume rocker button, and it's noticeable on a black background, or when the phone is displaying the Nexus splash screen upon boot.

If you can, please check your phone and partake in the poll so I can find out if it's a common issue with all devices.

Your now part of a select community of people who can't downgrade. Welcome, once u go mja u get the Knox bootloader. The Knox bootloader restricts u from downgrading. At this time there's no work around. It's best to just sit tight and wait it out. Also if u rooted u tripped the Knox bootloader . It should read something like 0x1 when u turn on the phone. If it shows 0x0 u didn't trip it.

So, I have Gummy Kitkat 4.4 installed. I have tried the 4.4 GE Roms but they are too unstable at this point. The main thing I am missing from using the GE Roms is that when you press the Menu hardware key, the menu appears at the bottom of the screen. In the AOSP Roms, it appears at the top of the screen from the three-dots icon. Try it on Whatsapp, for example.

So, the question is - is there an xposed mod or other, which will change the position of the menu to the bottom of the screen?
