[HTC Droid DNA] detonation:
Nope because I just switched to a Moto X. Didn't really have any major issues with the DNA (wireless charging always worked fine for me) but I always thought it was awkward to hold. A little too big for me and the power button on top was a pain to reach. I've also always liked Moto devices. Like someone mentioned above, my Droid X was a tank and is still going strong to this day (as an alarm clock). The Moto X is very similar in size and feel.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
My droid 2 finally crapped out on me. Had it since launch and I used it every day until last month. The screen stopped responding to touch and buttons on the keyboard no longer functioned. But it was a solid phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] goodman_east:
M8 will be my next phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I'm the same boat man. I got the Thunderbolt Day 1. That phone had it's issues but being the first LTE phone to the US market I expected them. I loved my thunderbolt. I picked up the DNA Day 1 as well and was extremely impressed with this phone. Like you said, build quality feels top notch, and it's very aesthetically pleasing.

My Qi charging has crapped out on me and updates from HTC / Verizon have been basically non-existent. Weren't we promised Kit-Kat by the end of last September or something like that? That's HTC... always failing to deliver on their promises.

Not sure what I'll be looking for in my next android phone. So far I've been very displeased with Samsung's offerings. Their 'signature' styling are what bothers me the most, which sucks because I doubt they'll change. For example, I HATE the plastic. It looks so cheap and ugly. Also the camera bumping out on the back is a huge no-no. Worst of all I can't stand their stupid physical home button, and the menu / back buttons are frustratingly swapped. I couldn't care less about their UI since whatever phone I have I'll root and change the ROM anyway.

I do like Sense 5 though... just not the blinkfeed crap.

My biggest issue is that there haven't been any phones that have been a solid improvement over the DNA. They all improve in one aspect while leaving some other feature out. For example, my DREAM phone right now, would be essentially just an upgraded DNA, with must haves like a 4.8" 1080p display and Qi wireless charging.

The M8 looks promising but if they keep that sexy metal casing from the One, then I doubt we'll get wireless charging which would be a deal-breaker for me.

[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
I don't mean to get on your case directly, Drumz, but I've read so many complaints about HTC from TB owners. Granted, from what I've read, it was well deserved criticism. But you guys sure know how to hold a grudge! LOL

you do realize that it was like 4yrs ago, right? :)

Just messing around. Actually, it's this long-standing grudge that probably got the company's attention in the first place.

But I think it's fair to say that HTC has learned a lot about customer loyalty in the last few years, and has really turned things around. I'm proud of them, and I intend to support them for their efforts.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Once a manufacturer "burns" people, they remember. Conversely, when a manufacturer makes a reliable and good product people stay.

I've had the Droid 2, 3, and 4 with no complaints. I tried the DNA and have had it since it's release with no problems, so depending on their offerings when it's time for me to upgrade I'll be looking at an HTC phone as well as Moto and Samsung (my wife has a G4 and it has been flawless except the screen doesn't compare to the DNA. Maybe AMELOD is not for me).
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I would own a Samsung if the build quality was better, I also don't like their button arrangement (seriously, why do they have a physical home button?) not to mention all the stupid Knox security stuff they've been doing. I would get a nexus if I wasn't on Verizon. Thus, HTC is the obvious choice, or possibly LG. plus, I think a lot of DNA and M7 devs and rom builders will be getting another HTC, in which case I will follow where they go since I would have a better chance of the awesome development we have for our device.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cremacious:
I might consider it. I got the DNA because my old phone was crapping out and this was the best choice with Verizon. Maybe Samsung, but their phone are too plastic and cheap feeling, and Touchwiz is ugly garbage.

With the great Dev support for this phone I have no desire to upgrade anytime soon. I would rather spend my money on college/bills haha. When the time comes, and the DNA starts to show its age, I'll move to whatever phone is the best on the market, the most future proof, and has an active community. If that phone happens to be HTC I'm okay with it.

I've always gotten pretty decent battery life and I love the overall design of the DNA, so I am very glad I bought it.
[HTC Droid DNA] darky4e:
I am from middle europe and always wanted to try a high end htc phone, but coulnd't buy it as a student.

I have tried my friends M7 and liked it very much, try all kind of samsung S series and iphone by friends but none of them could amaze me.

When my friend needed to take a trip to the US i couldn't resist to a DNA. Its red/black style and Sense software took my heart.

I really love it since. And my friend bought a Butterfly because of my DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] kent c:
My wife and I will be eligible for an "Upgrade" soon. I see nothing I would rather have right now.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
I went into Verizon a couple of days ago, and the girl behind the counter said I was due for 2 upgrades, and she'd be able to upgrade me to a "One" without losing my unlimited data. Almost did it! But I think I'm gonna wait for M8.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Won't everyone eventually lose unlimited data sooner or later?
[HTC Droid DNA] skathe:
so far i probably will, had motorolas before but this seems like a much smoother operating phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Not if you're willing to lie, cheat, and steal to keep it. I will be keeping mine.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I already lost mine and I'm OK with that I don't use data all that much anyways even when I had unlimited I didn't use it that much.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowsaregnarly:
You're all correct...

As you can see I've sent this post with a little $99 smartphone... but take the battery cover off a Samsung and bend it... it'll break. One of the most depressing plastics I've ever seen in my life. But take the back cover off this little Tipo and unless you stand on it, it won't break. Maybe the more you pay the less you get.

It's really frustrating how everyone is like a fish in their own little ponds and think that their own tech is great. I'm not saying HTCs are bad... bun fanboys/girls are jerks.

Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped!
[HTC Droid DNA] Nilbus:
I have only had 2 different android smartphones, both HTC. Started with the Thunderbolt cause it was new and yay 4g, and moved to the DNA when it came out. Looking forward to a new HTC device in early 2015.
[HTC Droid DNA] Supashawn:
Disagree

At first I hated my DNA because it kept doing this thing where it would saying "change of SIM detected"; what I hated most was everything stopped, where I was on a phone call or watching a vid on Youtube. The dropped phone calls hurt the most because I am a salesman. I am not quite sure what straightened it out but shortly after I got a new SIM tray from HTC it quit. Really the complaint now is the battery and thanks to custom ROM's I have been able to get better battery life.

All in all though I really think that if I had the opportunity I would do it all over again.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Yes I just got the one max (:
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I'm thinking about getting off if Verizon and switching to AT&T when my contract runs up next January. Then I will probably get a nexus device. Just tired of slow updates I know htc dies everything they can but these carriers just slow it down so much.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Why does slow updated matter when you ha've custom roms
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Anyone following the HTC One knows that updates have been pretty good. HTC has gotten MUCH better about that. Folks who are complaining about updates are Thunderbolt/Rezound users with painful memories. HTC has really turned a corner since then.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
That an I really do hate Verizon they treat their customers like crap and they can afford to because of their network, it's much better than everywhere else. Before I had no choice but Verizon to get service at my house. I moved and now AT&T is as good as Verizon where I am. I like official updates because then I know there are no bugs and everything works...
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Can't wait to say goodbye to Verizon!

Probably going to T-Mobile, cheap and no contracts!
[HTC Droid DNA] skeet43169:
Trying to s-on my DNA so I can get the one Max
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
I reply hope your not going to trade that phone it. And the one max is amazing although the front camera isn't all that great.
[HTC Droid DNA] gee7201:
Well I've tried Samsung twice in the last two years. First the SGS3 right before I won my DNA, then the SGS4 a few weeks ago which I returned for poor call quality. Unless Sony surprises everyone and launches on VZW, I'm gonna use my upgrade on the SGS5 and hope it works. Not impressed with HTC software and camera and don't want to HAVE to root
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
The gs5 is really ugly and the new update for TouchWiz looks a lot like apples childish icons, and the settings look really weird and unappealing to me. Though I never considered going to Samsung anyways tried it as my first Android phone and did not enjoy it.
[HTC Droid DNA] MSmithXDA:
Agreed. The S5 is out of the running for me. Mainly because of the physical home button (just a pet peeve of mine). I was excited about the M8, but all the latest leaks have huge bezels. I think my next phone might actually be the G2...
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Im probably going to stick with my droid dna until it goes on me which hopefully is no time soon as I really enjoy this phone but once it goes I will be getting another htc phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
One Max is a good choice unless you like taking selfies. Front camera isn't amazing.
[HTC Droid DNA] MSmithXDA:
All the leaks recently for the M8 show the htc logo black bar. What happened to this leak that didn't have it though? http://www.talkandroid.com/195892-more-photos-of-the-htc-m8-leaks-now-with-less-bezel/

Is it believed to be fake? Cause if not, then I'm highly interested in the M8, and being that the G2 could pull off such small bezels, I would think HTC could too (although granted they have speakers on the bottom too).
[HTC Droid DNA] Jayedamina:
I think this is definitely fake, after seeing the Desire 816 yesterday I think the new One will look very similar to it. My next phone will be a HTC. I think I'll keep my DNA for another year though.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I wouldn't mind going for one of the Project Ara phones if they're available by the time I upgrade. I'm guessing they probably won't be on Verizon though since it will be a Google device.
[HTC Droid DNA] lucky_strike33:
Here's another one without the HTC bezel.
[HTC Droid DNA] MSmithXDA:
That ones hard to know because it's a render. That can definitely be a photoshop.
[HTC Droid DNA] lucky_strike33:
Yea it's def photo shopped. It's going to have the HTC bezel.

Was just showing what it would look like without it.
[HTC Droid DNA] MARKREIF:
Still Respect HTC

I always work two devices. I've had the HTC TP2, The ReZound, and now the DNA as my Android device. I ignored the The One as the lack of expandable storage and removable battery gave it no real advantage over the DNA. I used my most recent upgrade for The ICON. Talking about build quality and Bluetooth call quality - WOW. My DNA upgrade won't be ready until 4/2015. If HTC doesn't bring back an SD Card option at the very least I'll stick with the DNA .
[HTC Droid DNA] Androide3:
I think the butterfly s is the best htc phone right now
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
Yes, and hopefully the M8

Sent from my HTC DNA GPE
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
I skipped the One due to no wireless charging and now way of adding it without an extremely bulky case.

Say what you will about the Beats Audio "gimmick". That sound profile built in HTC phones along with a small amp was a huge reason why I got the DNA and if the new One loses that....... I may go with a Note 4 when released.
[HTC Droid DNA] TerminatorJ:
once a htc, always a htc.:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] kent c:
I love my DNA. My wife and I both have them. It is the first phone I can say that about 1.5 years in. I do have the occasional SIM issue and sometimes when I get a text it scrolls the messages to the top of the list but I still love it.

I'm still running Sense 4 BTW. My wife is on 5 and I didn't care for it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Have to agree have had mine for a little over a year and don't regret getting it. Still runs super smooth and does what I need it to do. I don't see my self changing phones anytime soon.
[HTC Droid DNA] ItsQu:
Probably not, I'm a person who enjoys rooting phones and the HTC phones, well most, have a pretty long and complex process without any real way to fix a borked phone if you misflash or so. I'll probably get a Samsung just because it's easier to root and restore if you mess up.
[HTC Droid DNA] MSmithXDA:
Damn. Looks like no Qi Wireless Charging on the M8.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Yeah I don't think I can go through aluminum. I'm keeping my DNA for a long time probably more than 2 years I don't see a need to update at the moment this phone works perfect and can do everything really easily.
[HTC Droid DNA] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Same for me! Just bout this phone a (week ago, should of got the m7 or waited for the m8 ) but I'm pretty content with this phone. It's still a monster for being that it was released in 2k12
[HTC Droid DNA] Merdoc81:
Sounds to me like this was more of a *****fest on why u don't like your DNA than wondering if everyone else is gonna get another HTC... and compared to the Thunderbolt the DNA is light years better. Ive had an incredible, incredible 2, rezound and now dna. can't say I really have any complaints about them. My battery gets me through a day plenty good enough, but I'm not on my phone 24/7 either.

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

And they have awesome customer service! I've emailed them a few times and always get a response within 30 minutes and called a few times. They're excellent to talk to & deal with.
[HTC Droid DNA] pureminua:
Hmmmm would I get another HTC??? You know, I can't decide. The DNA is MY first HTC phone. Its an amazing phone with lots of features and is very fast. But I seem to always have connectivity issues with it. I also don't like the fact that you can't remove the battery and there is no SD card for storage (but I knew that when I bought it :) ). The wife used to have an HTC wildfire, and I hated "working" on it. Always low on memory/storage. I am used to owning samsung androids although my experience with them was dropping calls or bad service. Overall, if I could get the connectivity issue fixed, I would have ZERO issues with my HTC, so I guess I could say that yes, I would own another.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
I had the Thunderbolt, I agree the DNA is light years ahead. The wife has an S4 Samsung. It is really nice. Next phone is S5 or M8?????? Time will tell.
[HTC Droid DNA] Luigi711:
I think the M8 is sexy, but It's a toss up between the M8 and the xperia z2.
[HTC Droid DNA] teckels:
Love me some HTC, however, I got the One (M7) and could not get used to the metal feel after being on soft touch paint for so many devices so I sold it. Here's to hoping they come out with a variant this year aside from M8 for Verizon.
[HTC Droid DNA] snowboarder93:
Yes, I would love an M8. For some reason I had thought it was way bigger than a DNA, but I think I could live with the size increase. Plus that expandable storage would seal the deal.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
If you want a larger phone go with one max although there isn't a lot of support like the note 3.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
The fact that justincase and beaups unlocked the M8 makes it enticing.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mutius Vos:
I've been HTC since the thunderbolt and I can't imagine switching anytime soon.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
It feels like the phones have reached the point of diminishing returns since about iPhone 4 / Jelly Bean. To me our DNA is as good (for the most part) as any of the latest crop of phones. I am actually excited about the modular phone project, because then I can hopefully stick a nice camera module into my Android phone finally :)

Oh, and getting back on topic, I always thought HTC produced some of the best high end phones, at least on Verizon. Moto X is the best mid level phone in my opinion.
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
Got the M8 on the day they released it and it feels like the DNA in hand. Just a tad taller then the DNA. I love it. Wife got the DNA now and both of us are extremely happy. Both have unlocked bootloader and rooted. Faster and smoother then the DNA. Only issue is it's so damn sexy, I feel ashamed I have a case on it.;)
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
im thinking nexus 6 and keep dna as backup

nexus 6 (rumors are 4gb ram 2.6 ghz 8 core 64bit cpu 128gb mem cap) <<< thats enticing enough for me and its google
[HTC Droid DNA] warpurlgis:
Sounds like it'll have the Rezound's heat problems with all that packed in a small enclosure.
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
that my only concern unless they make it tablet size with a mini water cooler lol
[General Questions and Answers] kopytek:
Hi, got a quick question. My corporation just bought 200+ phones, which I will need to update to latest android (4.3 available for that phone, Samsung galaxy s4).

What do you suggest would be the quickest way to update the phones. Obviously connecting to WiFi is ok, but downloading few hundred megabytes x 200 is not something I would want.

Kies? but then I can only upgrade one at a time...

do you have any suggestions? or am I left with many hours of wasted time :)

obviously phones cannot be rooted as will be connected to MDM...

Thanks in advance for advice.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
yeah your only choices would be kies or doing the updates via wifi. go to startbucks and bring em all in a bucket :D they have Free wifi.

Hello

I have some problems with flashing a ROM, my current ROM doesent work and neither do my recovery manager.

What do i do? is there any command to enable USB debugging?

[One (M7) General] matt95:
Hi guys, this morning I noticed that I couldn't make any call or send messages and I discovered that the "not inserted sim" icon was showing on the status bar. The problem was that my SIM card was inserted. I'm not sure but I do think that this is likely to be an HW related problem and I've also red that I'm not the only one who faced it. The only thing I can think of is that the SIM card is not making contact entirely with the motherboard and that's why it is not recognized. However, luckily, this issue is easily solvable. What I did was apply 2 layers of tape on the SIM itself and then I inserted it back into the phone (It was a little bit hard to push in but this is probably the only solution possible). Now I'm not getting any error anymore, I'll report back if something happens again.

Do not apply more than 3 layers of tape of the SIM tray won't come out easily or at all

This guide (yeah, not really a guide, just a suggestion :D) is for the people who do not want to send the phone to HTC and wait for its replacement.
[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
What type of tape is used and did you cut the excess off?
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
Well, it seem that is working great:)
[One (M7) General] matt95:
I used the classic office tape :) the transparent one and yes, I did first applied it to the SIM and then I cut it the same size around the corners
[One (M7) General] Sirhcchris:
I had that issue so I pulled the Sim and cleaned up the contacts with an alcohol swab. The swab was black when I finished. I haven't had a problem since. I figured it was dirt but after reading this it may have just been loose.
[One (M7) General] matt95:
I did try that too but it didn't work
[One (M7) General] matt95:
Just one question guys, is your phone branded?
[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
Yep AT&T branded.

I haven't gotten SIM errors often but it does happen every once in a while.

EDIT: And then it happened just a short while ago, lol.

EDIT:

[MENTION=2822284]matt95[/MENTION]

I added the two layers of clear tape and will see how this holds up. I have network connectivity so it was able to be inserted in properly.
[One (M7) General] matt95:
Ok I don't think my theory is correct, in fact yesterday night the issue showed up again... However I did install the ARHD and i have no problem at all, could this be SW related? :eek::rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
It doesn't make sense to be sw related especially if the disconnect error appears. The tape idea has some logical sense to it. It tries to ensure the SIM keeps in contact with the phone.

It seems to be working fine for me. I've had it in place since the other day. Which ROM throws the error for you?
[One (M7) General] matt95:
An Insertcoin Beta, now i have the 8.0.1 and the error is gone and it was so even with the ARHD
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foTga:
Hi there,

I am using Xperia SP C5303 with new firmware 12.1.A.0.266(updated through Sony Bridge for Mac). Before I updated the phone from 4.1.2 I had done factory reset of the phone.

Within typical usage there is usually around 260-300 MB RAM free, also there are no ram-eating widgets and ****s like that.

My xperia tends to self reboot without any particular reason. Sometimes it happens while using chrome. There was one time when incoming sms made it reboot. Before rebooting it freezes and pixels gradually fade to black.

Does any of You guys know what could cause that kind of behaviour ? It has never happened to me while I was using previous firmware.

P.S. I have already tried repairing the software using built-in option in sony bridge.

I hope there is a soul that could help me because sony just said - send phone to service -_-
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Levered:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foTga:
Unfortunately the problem persist, xperia freezes and restarts.

I used the C5303 12.1.A.0.266 AU Generic provided by Doomlord. I flashed the device using the wipe option. I am pretty sure that it is not connected with any particular app.

Does anybody have another idea or had same problem ?
