HTC Plummets to decade low on loss forecast

HTC plunged by the daily limit after its forecast for a quarterly loss five times greater than estimates spurred analysts to slash their valuations of the stock.

Shares dropped 10 per cent to NT$63 ($2.70) in Taipei on Friday, heading for their lowest price in more than a decade. The smartphone maker's third-quarter loss will be NT$5.51 to NT$5.85 per share, compared with expectations for a loss of NT$1.17 per share. Its sales forecast given Thursday is as much as 48 per cent below estimates.

HTC plans to cut staff, reduce spending and slim down its product catalogue as cheaper phones from Huawei Technologies Co. and competition from Samsung Electronics Co. further erode its market share. Founder, chairwoman and chief executive officer Cher Wang has stated she won't consider mergers, even as the company fell off the global list of top 10 phone makers.

"HTC's multiple model strategy in the past year did not work as planned," JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Narci Chang wrote in a note. "HTC's current business model needs a significant makeover."

Chang cut his target on the stock by 55 per cent to NT$45, joining analysts from Credit Suisse Group AG, UBS AG and Daiwa Securities Group in reducing price estimates. None of the 29 analysts who actively cover HTC have a buy rating on the stock.

Product strategy

Sales this quarter will be NT$19 billion ($600 million) to NT$22 billion, the company said, compared with estimates for NT$36.8 billion. Revenue at the bottom end of that range would be the lowest in a decade when figures were reported at the parent level.

HTC will change its product strategy to produce fewer models over longer time intervals while focusing on a greater share of industry profits instead of shipments, chief financial officer Chang Chialin said Thursday. Cost reductions will start this quarter, with the result of those cuts being shown in the first quarter, he said.

There'll be no one-time non-operating items this period, he said.

Thursday's forecast comes after the Taoyuan, Taiwan-based company in June cut its sales guidance for that quarter by 35 per cent and wrote off NT$2.9 billion in idled assets, citing slowing demand for high-end smartphones and weaker China sales.

Ouch.

Looks ripe for acquisition at this point, despite the CEO's comments. Maybe Google might snap them up and merge with Motorola? (:D)

[One (M9) General] techlogik:
Gotta say, I hate the M9. First time I've said this about the HTC One any model, been using them for the past many years. I'm left handed, so if you pick this dumb phone up, you are always hitting either the power button (stupid location for it), up volume/down volume buttons, flashlight is always turning on, screen on etc...besides the slight improvement in the camera over the M8...they went backwards IMHO.

I swear, I love Sense interface...really hate standard android, the crappy unfinished/unpolished apps compared to iPhone/WinMo interfaces....only reason I've stuck with HTC is Sense and the clean/polished nice apps/features they've improved on over the years.

But the M9, especially on Verizon service, sucks bad.

Hate to jump ship...but this might be the shortest time I've own the latest model of HTC One....and just might bail altogether on these guys.

HTC keeps coming out with new HTC One models, and they haven't improved them worth a crap over the past 2yrs IMO. Now they want to call the next one the M9 again?!?! WTF...they are clueless.

Sorry HTC...you guys are out of it entirely these days....competitors are coming for you. Good luck.
[One (M9) General] blackknightavalon:
The M9 is actually a pretty good phone once it's rooted. The future, however, is in indie projects (if the success of the Ubik Uno campaign is any indicator).

[One (M9) General] BarryH_GEG:
They have $1.2B in cash on hand and are losing $200-300k a quarter. That means they'll be out of cash within eighteen months. No one's profiting from wearables (except Apple) and VR so HTC's experimentation in them isn't going to drive profit in the near term. Based on their stock value and the assignment by the market of a value of "zero" on their assets they can't borrow money on the open market. So what's left?
[One (M9) General] techlogik:
Yes, like this, new Moto Pure, very similar...for $300-400 cash, buy it outright, put your SIM in it and away you go rooting/modding etc...of course, only GSM...so there goes that with Uno.

My biggest issue/problem at this point, I switched to Verizon...that was my downfall withe HTC M9, only two/three ROMs that are worthwhile are supported on that platform.

So..yeah....I might be jumping ship for something like the Moto Pure, any carrier, buy it like I always do outright...away I go!!

Just a simple question : why is not lasting long the battery of moto g 2nd gen in cm12? In stock lollipop 5.0 it was pretty good, now i need to charge it twice a day cause it will drop quickly from 100% to 60%! Any suggestions or tips and tricks? Maybe i should calibrate it?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudwigFerdinand18:
there may be applications installed that for some reason do not allow your phone go into deep sleep to save battery ...

the ROM is still under development and is not TOTALLY STABLE 100 % WITHOUT BUGS

not that this may be a problem with it , but rather with the apps that you install to be a custom rom .

I'm new to the wireless charging world. I recently purchased a Nexus 6 (migrated from a 2013 moto x), and decided to purchase an Anker PowerPort Qi Wireless Charger to try wireless charging.

From what I've read, the sweet spot is bottom 1/2-1/3 of the device, near the "u" in nexus on the back. However, I can't get the device to be detected by the charger. Is there any setting that needs to be enabled or any special trick to make this work?

[Samsung Gear S] robroy90:
Greetings!

Has anyone else noticed any conflicts with simultaneous bluetooth connections to other types of devices while the Gear S is paired to your phone?

I have a Note Edge from T-Mobile and the Gear S from T-Mo as well. In my car (Chevy Volt) I have the factory infotainment system with navigation, bluetooth, etc. I noticed that at seemingly random times, when I had the phone paired to the car and was either in a call or streaming music, the connection between the car and the phone would be lost. I chalked it up to an issue with the Bluetooth profile stack GM was using and used a wired connection.

Then, I experienced the exact same problem in my truck with an Aftermarket Pioneer head unit connected to the phone. It too would drop the connection at random intervals. That caused me to start to suspect the Note Edge or the ROM I was running on it.

Yesterday, I accidently left for work without my Gear S. Guess what? The connection didn't drop once during my 45 minute commute. So today, I turned off the Gear S before I left work work, and I never lost a connection.

This tells me there is some sort of an issue with the Gear S. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a fix? To the best of my knowledge, I am using the latest official firmware for the T-Mo Gear S, and I just updated the Gear S app for the phone through the Samsung store, etc.

Thanks!

S6 Edge SM-G925F

Okay, I've spoken to Samsung about this and they are useless.

I'm stuck in a bootloop which happened during the update installation.

Gone into the recovery menu, wiped cache, reboot, power off, drained battery, tried again, NOTHING WORKS!

I backed the phone up last weekend, but since have put some sensitive work information on there that I NEED to keep, so factory reset is not an option.

Phone has never been rooted, and I have no experience with this.

Sure it is, as long as you can boot into download mode. Just use Odin to restore the stock firmware. However you will lose all your data.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalzaS6:
Is there anyway to use ODIN without losing all my data? I have photos and files that are NEEDED for work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
No he wont. Since when does using odin wipe anything? It never has, Odin just reinstalls the different components of the firmware, system, radio, kernel, recovery, etc...it does not touch internal storage.

Download the firmware on sammobile and use odin 3.10.6 to flash. Don't touch any of the options in odin and you will be fine and not have any user data removed
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
Honestly, I have never been able to preserve the data after using Odin. That being said, I have never looked into it, as every time I use Odin, I am only concerned about the brick. 0
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalzaS6:
Everywhere online says odin wipes the of all apps and data. I don't have an SD card so everything is on the main storage.

So odin settings are;

Auto Boot - on

F. Reset time - on

EVERYTHING ELSE UNCHECKED.

And load the firmware file into AP?

Then start?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
I dont care what it says online, those people are wrong. Odin has NEVER wiped any of my devices and the last time I tested it out was 12 hours ago when a failed rom flash and bricked phone because of a nandroid restore forced me to odin back to stock. After i restored from nandroid my phone bootlooped but odin got me back up and running with all my files restores through recovery were still there. The only other suggestion i have is flash TWRP right now knowing your data is still intact and make a nandroid backup, transfer it to computer and if for some weird reason odin wipes your phone you still have everything in that nandroid backup.

Yes AP only.

If Odin never wipes the phone storage, why does it erase all the data on my phone every time I use it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
Lets call Sherlock Holmes because i've been on Android since the S2 and had all the phones you can see in my sig and have never been wiped while using odin. If I didnt just spend about 10 hours setting my phone back to how I want it, i'd make a video showing you. I don't know why, or why not, but the only thing I do is download the FW on sammobile, extract it, set it in AP and hit start. Been doing it that way for years with the same result. The flash finishes, i'm back with all my apps installed, all my data intact, minus root and custom recovery.

EDIT: did a small search on google, some people say what I said, others say the apps are gone, but all of them agree personal files such as music, pictures and documents are kept intact. Not sure what the variable is though
