[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] goranwik:
HTC tweeted about 3 weeks ago that they are working through some issues with the 8.1 release, and have no dates to share just yet, but says "Stay tuned for more news."
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] compu829:
My 8X has 8.1 Update 1 installed on it via Preview for Developers. They fixed the issue a while ago.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Thanks for the replies, it really helped.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Hey, man, could you give me some details regarding the 8X? I can't find anywhere about HTC's exclusive apps, updates, performance, etc. Did the camera get any better after all theses updates from WP8? I know it's a pretty good camera and I will use it a lot so if it got better I would be really happy. How are the nights shots?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] compu829:
It's similar to the Lumia 925 as far as performance goes. Depending on the model you get, it will use either an LTE or non-LTE chipset. In the US, the Verizon and AT&T variants are the LTE versions. I like the camera. Haven't had any issues with it. Just change if from the default 6MP to 8 MP.

IF you care about exclusive apps, get a Lumia ;) HTC doesn't have any to write home about.

Here is a review of the AT&T model http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/htc-8x-review-windows-phone-8s-compact-flagship/
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Thanks, apreciate your analysis. Lumia 925 has good performance so I'll be satisfied, as far as I know the version on Asia doesn't have LTE and it's not a problem to me.

Actually I care about the HTC exclusive apps, I think HTC has great customizations so I'd like to try them. The camera app always got my attention, the blinkfeed is pretty cool, etc. I know Nokia has much more apps but none of them gets me right, my mother-in-law has a Lumia 520 that I recomended so I'm familiar with Nokia apps. Besides, HTC 8X is much more well designed than any windows phone, only Lumias 925 and 930 can be considered beautifully designed as well.

I read the review, its a pretty good phone, comfortable to hold and not too big, though the screen could be bigger for the phone size. I also read this review(HTC 8X camera review) with emphasis on the camera and I was happy to know that the software can automatcally slow down the sutter speed to get better images.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] compu829:
those apps you are referring to are exclusive to the HTC One M8 for Windows. They don't even show up in the store when I search for them on my 8X!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
This can't be right, I've seen in some videos on YouTube that the 8X has HTC apps on Windows Phone. Maybe cause you're using a preview version for developers this support is not added yet, this happens in other plataforms as well.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
It has some OEM apps, but not BlinkFeed. Love this phone, just ordered my third one.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mehdi72:
Go for it, its worth the Money. In my country it is under $150, lower than any matching Lumia.

But if you see both phones side by side, Lumia is crap. I m using it for last one year, (switched from iPhone 5) and still comfortable with it.

As already told, it can have 8.1 under developer preview option.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Yeah, but blink feed isn't essential. Would be good if HTC release it's apps for download, it will release the HTC Camera on Play Store.

What do you mean third one? Don't you even try newer phones? Good to know, I'll keep your passion in mind.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] caragua:
Just ordererd a second-handed 8X from ebay and is now waiting for it ($80 free shipping)

Having used the WP7-era HTC surround, I think HTC's OEM specific apps isn't something that'll hold you from getting the DP updates.... They just don't feel as natural as they are on Android (if you can make Blinkfeed as the default page then that's another history...)

Anyway, for the price those 8X are hanging around on eBay, they're pretty good deals if you need a new (old) phone
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
Sure, after I broke my second 8X I switched to an M7. It works okay, but bit rot is setting in and I'm starting to wish I was back on Windows. Looking forward to receiving my new , blue Verizon 8X.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Rot? That's strange, what kind? I really like HTC phones and the M8 for Windows is my current passion, too bad the price doesn't allow me to buy one.

Even if you like the 8X this much the only way I have to buy one is importing a refurbshed from China, so I rather buy some chinese smartphone. I'm still avaluating the situation.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
Bit rot is just a name for the slowness and buggyness that comes to Android after a while of using it. Resetting the phone solves it, but it comes back again. Windows Phone and Ios avoids the problem by sandboxing apps etc. My first 8X i bought in store, a regular euro version. My second and third, both Verizon edition, i bought on eBay.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Got it, Android does have this problem with long lasting stability and solidness. It's, however, getting much better and providing improved user experienced that was missing when compared with Windows Phone.

How are the camera of the 8X for macro shots? I will use a lot of the camera. 16GB of memory is ok for Windows Phone? I didn't have any trouble with space on Android.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
I couldn't say about macro shots, since I've naver taken any myself. Generally I'd say the 8X has a great camera for its current price class, but obviously it can't compete with a 930 or something like that. WP takes up less space than Android, so you should be fine with 16 GB.

If you do get an 8X then make sure you get the Verizon edition for the wireless charging :)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
The Nokias are in a different level when it comes to camera, mainly the PureView series. But the fotographer counts a lot, I've seen some crazy photos with this Lumias and with the HTC 8X I'd get great results.

Great news, then. Space is something that will always worry me once it don't get an expansion slot.

Unfurtnatly the Verizon model don't work in my country, has to be the unlocked or AT&T models because of the net. Besides, the wireless charging isn't a big deal for me.

For the price I'm trying to decide between the Sony Xperia T and the HTC 8X. Thinking in system and overall hardware the 8X takes the leadership, but when it comes to back camera and flexibility the Xperia T appears on top.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
Are you quite sure about the Verizon edition not working in your country? Strange, as it's supposed to be a worldphone. It works great here in Norway, except for the 4G which is the wrong band. Wireless charging isn't really something you think about, but it's a massive convenience if you do have it, so I'd reccommend checking that out if you're not 100 % sure.

Anyways, If I were you then I'd choose the OS first, then the phone. If you're looking for the most features for your money then Android is probably the way to go.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
Yes, the Verizon works on CDMA network and my country only has this kind for home phones, any mobile or smartphone uses GSM. Besides, the 700MHz for 4G supported by the 8X will kick in at 2016~2017 here in Brazil, lucky me. The Xperia T doesn't even have 4G.

Indeed the OS is the most important and I don't want the most features, I rather look after stability, practicaly, easy to use, funcionalities and so on. Looking at the big picture the HTC 8X is the better option for beauty and construction too. Today I was at the mall and saved some time to mess around a Nokia Lumia 630, found out that the OS is really great and better than I imagined.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
The Verizon 8X is a worldphone, meaning it supports both CDMA and GSM. I've had no problems using it on the GSM network here in Norway.

If you're looking for stability and ease of use then Windows is definetely the way to go, you just need to make sure all your required apps are available in the Windows app store.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
I didn't know that the Verizon model had GSM and CDMA support, pretty cool. How much cost the wireless charger? Where did you buy it?

Yeah, I'm a simple guy and don't need many apps. From what I know the Windows Phone already have all the apps I need since a year ago, 2 months earlier this year I read it's app store reached over 500k apps, more than good enough for me.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Hagenlund:
I've tried several, but my favorite so far is this one that I got off Ebay for a fiver. I bought one for home and one for work, both worked flawlessly. Do note that wireless charging is only about half as fast as wired charging, so when you need to juice up quick you'll want to use a cable.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Truck'n Hemi:
I've been having some trouble with my current phone, the touch is awfully failing and it's system(Symbian) don't have the resources to go on much longer. Since the 8X woult take at least a month to get here I can't buy it right now.

I'd like to thank you for you patience and attention to my questions. When I get ways to import the phone I'll do it.

You shoud try the HTC M8 for Windows, good choice for you that likes HTC and Windows Phone.

Peace man

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dominique96:
Hello guys,

I just converted my htc one m8 to google play edition and have a question. I flashed the non rooted firmware. If I dont root but keep S-OFF and the bootloader unlocked will my device be safe ( for ex. online banking etc ) ? Or would it be better to go s-on and lock the bootloader ? I know that for waranty I need to go s on....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rouz.:
Your unlocked bootloader and S-off has nothing to do with the safety of your information. You are running unrooted official software, so your device is as secure as it can be.

If you are still concerned, you can enable data encryption.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo128:
Hello

Yesterday I clean flashed my N4 cause I had some graphic bugs due to a resolution changer app. Now I have this problem: when game apps like angry birds or PVZ2 play video ads the game reset or freeze.

It's not always the same way, most of the time the game just reset or freeze before playing the video, some times it plays the video and freeze after the playback, or reset/crashes in the middle of the video. Rarely it also play the ad normally.

Youtube and chrome ads work fine.

Any idea before I reflash the ROM?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Hi all, just thought I'd share a link to Sony Developer World's latest blog post about the Top 5 SmartWatch 2 developer tips. Given this very recent post even when their new Sony SmartWatch 3 has been released shows that they're still committed to supporting the Sony SmartWatch 2. Hopefully we see some future updates and feature enhancements brought to the SmartWatch 2.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] pRo_lama:
I would like to see support for Android 5.0, because for my LG G3 is available yet. :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] lexman098:
I'm using the SW2 with my G3 no problem...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] nwg:
Sony announced Lollipop for all the Z series, so they'll have no choice.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Megatastic:
I have a dumb question : will each 3rd party app have to update to be compatible with android 5,or just the main smartwatch 2 app?

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
In general no but it will depend on what functions the host app uses.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ngoonee:
You know, I swear I read that exact same blog post sometime earlier this year.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ffarber:
I have been surprised over the last couple of weeks that some of the Sony apps have had updates released. Weather wasn't working on my Z2 until the recent update to the weather app. At least the SW2 is not completely forgotten. I have not seen any of the newer watches I would rather try.

Fred
[Sony Smartwatch 2] SolidSnake1976:
Hello people.

I have the opportunity to buy a SW2 for a good price. I know that Sony have launched a new device, the SW3, but for me that one it's more expensive.

The SW2 is still a good choice nowadays?

Thank you.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ngoonee:
Only you can answer that question. What's the good price anyway.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] SolidSnake1976:
120€. It's good?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ngoonee:
Couple of weeks back it was on sale in the US for 99 USD or something like that. So was the LG Watch. Not sure how that converts.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
For now good price for SW2 (deprecated) is between 60€ and 90€.

It is the best of the best smartwatch in the world but with Wear I think there are not many people who want a SW2 :(
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Belkiolle:
I don't think I'd buy a SW2 at this point. It is dead tech even if Sony is still offering token support. If you're looking for an inexpensive smartwatch right now I'd be looking at a Pebble. They just added access to the Android Wear API and it's the best smartwatch on the market right now when you consider overall feature set.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
I have also a pebble since 2 years.

Display very small and lower resolution. Button are very annoying, I prefer the touchscreen. When you have not your 20year old eyes most of display font really hard to see without backlight, so I prefer the SW2 display. In same use SW2 last 3 days and pebble last 3 days.

In reality the new beta pebble app is compatible with android 4.3+ notifications but not with wear notifications ;) I have also LG G-Watch on same phone than my pebble and wear are not received by pebble, only general android notifications with actionable button from android 4.3 not wear notification ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Belkiolle:
I don't have anything close to 20 year old eyes either but I have no issue with the Pebble (or Pebble Steel) in any light condition while wearing my glasses. That can't be said for the SW2 which I also had. Pebble has access to the Android Wear API because Google made it open. Yes the notifications look different because of the screen and form factor but they are true Wear notifications at the API level. Play around with the SDK a bit and you'll see it. They are quite different than the Android 4.3 level notifications that were usable on the Pebble before the beta update. Android 4.3 notifications are not actionable. Android Wear are.

The only thing missing is voice control due to lack of a mic on the Pebble. For everything else they're functionally exactly the same and they both operate at the API level.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
Just 2 sample I use on my phone (same for LG G watch and pebble)

1Weather wear notification : send to android phone notification system and on wear device -> nothing to pebble

TweetWear send new tweet on my wear device and nothing to pebble.

So pebble not wear notification compatible. and it is only 2 of my app for wear notification.

pebble receive only android notification but not wear notification ;) try it ;)

CalenGoo send notification to android system and with actionable button we can snooze alert. On wear you snooze for 10min and after 10min notification alert i sending anew to wear device and you can snooze or dismiss. On pebble you can snooze first time but after notification is not sending to pebble, so you can't snooze or dismiss without take your phone ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Belkiolle:
Are you on the beta for Pebble? If not you're still seeing the old 4.3 style notifications which function exactly as you're describing. I'd link you to numerous tech articles, forums, and even official releases from Pebble announcing the Android Wear compatibility in the newest beta firmware but I'm sure that wouldn't convince you so I'm not going to waste my time.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
Yes of course I use the last beta pebble android app.

Have you a wear watch on same pebble phone to see if you receive same wear notification on the 2 watch.

You can just post a picture of Tweetwear or even 1Weather Wear notification in your pebble, in this way everybody can see that your pebble receive wear notification and not all other pebble ;)

And if you have not the latest beta pebble app you have not the actionable notification in action menu on your pebble, even with android 4.3 or 4.4 ;) but you have this on Sony SW2 since a long time (and without Sony Wear notification compatibility on SW2)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Belkiolle:
There have been actionable notifications on Pebble for some time as well thanks to programs like Glance and Awear. I was using Awear in fact until they made actionable Wear notifications part of the new PebbleOS version.

I just installed 1Weather and I don't see any way to send a test notification. If you want to walk me through it I'll be glad to post pics.

I don't use Twitter so that's out.

Everyone seems to know about this but you.

Just got a Facebook notification so here are pics of it showing the notification, the actionable menu that comes up when you push the middle button, and a blurry pic of it being dismissed because it was so fast I couldn't take a pic. It also dismissed the notification on my phone just like it was supposed to do.

Phone is an HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.2 on AT&T with Pebble App beta 2.3.0 beta 1 installed. Watch is a Pebble Steel running beta 2.9 beta 5.

Hello G3 users,

I didn't find much privacy controls on Android L.

I went back to Kitkat, and used xposed and xprivacy to control the information going out.

For android L...

Xposed may not be in Android L, or need to wait for a long time.

AppOps seems not in the OS now.

Do you think of any apps that related to Android L privacy control?

Will CM12 privacy control enough for normal users?
[G3 General] kraven001:
Isn't no privacy control enough for normal users? I know we are all paranoid about sharing this and that with that app, but usually normal users don't give a rats ass about that.

Until there is a full blown solution from Google (which I think it's flawed because the privacy controls are far too confusing for regular users) you will have to live with what we have (or what we will have).
[G3 General] xpking:
I don't agree.

Confuse user or not it depends how developers design the apps.

Simple control like "allow it to access internet? allow it to access your contacts/location?" question I don't think a normal user will confuse with this.

No control nowadays means the control are in developers hands.

Many apps now access information more than they need. I believe you know what they will do with such valuable information.
[G3 General] crypta:
It is a problem of motivation.

Why should a user have such amount of control?

- support will be higher (because of more options)

- less insight into the customer

It is enough if there are no better widely available solutions and if the user gets the feeling that he is cared of/ protected.

And this can be done by marketing alone.

If you think, someone will or should do something, try to find the specific benefit. This is business not charity.

And with this said, I'll stay at 4.x, because of xposed availability.

From the screenshots you posted, this looks like a really great game, but when I tried to open it on my Galaxy S3, it got into some kind of infinite loop where it looked like it was opening and crashing over and over. Is this game targeted toward more recent operating systems? If not, have you seen this happen before?
