I pre-ordered the G5 as I wasn't convinced of the HTC 2016 flagship a month ago.

However my pre-order for the G5 has now been delayed to the 22nd April and as a result I've been following the build up and now really liking the look of the HTC 10.

If it has a 5.1 inch or bigger LCD (not AMOLED), SD 820, 4GB RAM, I think I'll cancel my G5 and get this. I'd want the black face though, either with silver back or black back, I don't like the white fronted version in the leaks....

Time will tell tomorrow.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
The G5 is a flop. Most of the reviews say it's half baked and pretty lackluster. The only good thing anyone has to say about it is that the camera is good.

I am currently using the S7 Edge but I have one more Jump until June. (I am on T-Mobile's Jump on Demand program which gives me 3 upgrades a year). I was going to maybe move to the G5 or the HTC 10 since I wasn't all that impressed with the S7E. After the major update T-Mobile pushed out for the S7E last week, my mind changed and I am now extremely impressed with the S7E. The battery lasts forever and the touchscreen is no longer overly sensitive.

That being said, I will wait to see what the HTC 10 brings. I love the look of the phone and I like Sense more than TW. The only thing I wish it had was a larger display but I can live with 5.2".

At the end of the day, the G5 is already crossed off the list. I played around with one in the store and was totally unimpressed. It felt like crap in my hand. The chamfered edges are too sharp and feel uncomfortable while I'm gaming in horizontal view. The display is also very average. Not impressed one bit. I wouldn't call it bad but it wasn't what I'd expect from LG. When it comes to looks, I know it comes down to personal preference but damn the G5 us fugly. When you hold a S7E next to it, you can just see that the S7E is on a whole nother level when it comes to sleekness. Everything wasn't bad for the G5 though. The UI felt snappy and I didn't notice and lag/jitters.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcmarshall:
I like the look and feel of the G5. I think all the phones pretty much look the same and I really don't care that much about it anyone. I don't think anyone is getting laid because their phone is so impressive. I have been wanting a wide angle shooter on a phone for years...awesome! I have always carried spare batteries. I can always go from 10% to 100% in seconds.....also awesome!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
LG g5 is DOA. I'm returning mine. Better competition. The build quality alone isn't very good as that gap between the module and Chassis is frustrating. Moreover, the camera isn't as good as the S7 Edge.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
I've cancelled my g5 order. It getting delayed was definitely meant to be as I've ordered the htc 10 for only £13 more :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
After seeing the HTC 10 today it's looking very promising. Much better than the G5.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcmarshall:
What do you mean by better? The finish and feel might be slicker but that is not my main concern. I will miss the wireless charging on my S3 but the 10 doesn't have that either. The replaceable battery and wide angle shooter are what makes me want the G5. No matter how great the phone looks it ain't much good if the battery craps out on you at 2AM and you are not at home! Zero to 100% in seconds will always be a winner for me. I always carry a spare battery. No matter how strong the battery life of the S7 is it will not be as good in a year! The fee charge cradle, spare battery, and 360 camera cinched it for me (I see the T-mo offer on the 360 cam had been extended so you can still get it).

Did you see the breakdown review on juryrigeverythind.com (I think that is it)? The G5 will be very easy to repair. That makes up for a little sloppiness in built to me, as long as everything works ok from the start. I think they all look like cell phones. If you want to look cool get some new clothes, nobody is looking at your phone and judging you on it!

None of the reviews fault the G5 on performance, it is a beast. Most of the reviewers discount the friends module aspect of the phone because there are not many now and it is questionable what will develop. Still, the idea that I might get surprised with some cool new module feature is a plus for me. Who doesn't get a little bored with the phone after a couple years? I think the G5 is getting unfair treatment by a lot of reviewers.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
The big cross against G5 is the locked (or unlocked custom as seen on Tmobile variant) bootloader. That's a big one for me. I was looking at G5 and gave up on it because of that.

As for battery, I just carry a 10k slab and charge up my phone using that if I am not next to a wall or laptop or pc. Who wants to reboot the phone for a replaceable battery! So, I will likely not use that unique feature of G5 ever.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jfree3000:
Going to wait and see what this feels like in hand, coming from 5.5 and up phones I don't want this to feel tiny in my hands.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcmarshall:
I've had my G5 for 2 days now. Build is good- the modular piece seams nicely, feels good in hand. Tested for light bleed- minimal bleed on top and only noticeable in darkened room with test app, very accceptable. I read about someone having a proble with the audio jack- mine is very tight. Someone said they had hissing sound with BT- mine is great with my jawbone and my car unit. Battery time is ok, maybe not great, I tend to be a heavy user. Quick charge is very fast, about 1% per minute. I look forward to receiving the spare battery, unlike previous poster I do not mind rebooting my phone, especially if I can go from 15% ot 100% in 30 seconds! Camera is very good, lover the wide angle. It seems that the metering only has center weight and matrix which disappoints but I may not be understanding the interface, need to find a manual, phone only comes with a quick start guide so I guess I can download from LG. Overall I am very happy. Can't wait to play around with promo 360 camera when it arrives!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
Got a LG G3 and love it, couldnt wait for G5, but... Its really ugly, I mean fugly... Dodgy build quality, gutted, so looked elsewhere, S7E, not for me,locked down, knox, doesn't look quite right, P9 too expensive, HTC, looks gorgeous, got everything apart from wireless charging, cant wait
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ray_:
Sent my G5 away as i absolutely hated the build quality, had it returned 3 time but each time the build was worst than the previous one.

Gonna hold out till more indepth reviews of HTC come out.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcmarshall:
Maybe I got lucky but the built on my seems good. There is no gap at the seam where the module connects, no significant light leak, audio jack is tight, phone lies perfectly flat face down.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
^That

When i first saw it my thought was why don't all phones have it. Shifting it from the front to the back was a genius move. But it took them the v10 to figure that out. Modules are an experiment. We don't know if they will endure. Friends that are not modular will as they can work with any device.

What amuses me about this thread is people are going on about looks and that term 'build quality' which does not mean what people think it does.

No, the strength of the one is audio. why is nobody talking about that. if you love audio the one is the only flagship grade choice out there. Always has been. Speakers and headphones. If anything is going to upset people here is if that isn't up to the mark of the m7/m8.

The second thing would be after the nexus, the one gets the best development. That looks set to continue. No boot loader is going to be locked on the one anywhere in the world. Why couldn't LG do this.

People here love sense. And this is where i would lump in the exterior design. Unique. Still is. Not to much slamming going on there unlike with the A9.

if those three things matter then you know what to get :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrNetwork:
HTC puts a lot of effort into sound, but their big fail on the 10 is not including the hi-res headset for buyers in Canada and USA.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWolfman:
ok thats great thanks for the advise im using firestater anyway looks like there will not be much advantage to using nova then as unlike firestarter i would have to keep launching it to take effect i guess. thanks

IMO, the UI hasn't changed too much. Stock launcher only allows 5x5 grid now, but I normally use Nova anyway. Took some screenshots of some of the changes I noticed. I'm using 400 DPI and, as you can see, the dark mode so it will look a bit different if you're not.

You shouldn't. I'd back everything up to the computer just to be safe.
[OnePlus 2 General] pitrus-:
I'd strongly advise not to keep data partition unformated when converting from cyanogenmod to oxygenos, it will produce problems with all sorts of apps and system components due to configuration mismatch between systems.

Also, oxygenos mm uses same bootloader as hydrogen mm so you will have to use specific recoverys compatible with that bootloader for this update.

Best regards

[OnePlus 2 General] nicola_rebecch95:
it is normal that after the flash remains stationary on the start logo 1+?
[OnePlus 2 General] unremarked:
The data partition and internal storage partition are separate. Wiping /data/ doesn't usually wipe /sdcard/ or whatever they name it now.

That being said, I definitely agree that one should fully wipe when switching from CM to OOS and vice versa.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deksman2:
Right... so, I think I traced down why OTA doesn't work.

Namely, whenever I click on system update to search for update, it searches, but nothing happens.

Online I found that this is likely because a WW custom ROM was flashed... and so OTA doesn't work.

My phone is brand new (got it today actually), but 'stuck' on Android 5.0 (ugh).

So... I would like to ask for the recommended course of action so I can get either latest OTA, or just install a stable and up to date clean Android ROM (without all the Zen bloatware) that works.

Also, I'm relatively new with flashing this phone and there's tons of info on rooting, different CWM and TWRP's, etc.

Problem is, which ones to use?

How to determine if you're using the right one and avoid bricking the phone in the process?

My phone arrived with SuperSU... which would indicate it's been rooted (and I was able to install AdAway).

So bearing that in mind... what would you recommend?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broomer68:
Your phone should not be rooted when bought in a store. So it seems to be used before, and not correctly refurbished.

Anders

As there is no possibility to get evidence that you did not do that yourself, you can only hope to get a replacement from the vendor,or any warranty.

On the other side: the device is already rooted, so you can flash a 6.01 rom yourself.

Depending on the way the phone was rooted in the first place, OTA will not always work.

I did see an original rom surface recently. With that you can go original, Unrooted and locked, so the vendor will not be able to void your warranty claims.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deksman2:
Sorry for the late reply.

Was busy.

The phone was bought off Amazon UK, and no modifications to the device were done by me apart from installing my apps.

Trouble is, I don't know how to flash a new ROM onto this thing.

The forums are overflowing with information which is all over the place and it is extremely confusing.

Yes, I tried the search function and found some info, but it is all over the place.

I have to be able to figure out the original firmware apparently if I want to flash the CWM or TWRP... and in some cases, flashing TWRP can break the device it would seem (what's up with that?), and I cannot figure out the original firmware because the mobile was not delivered with one (a custom WW ROM was apparently flashed on top of I don't know which version), and I really do not know where to look for this.

So, I'm very confused.

There's too many threads to sift through and each seems to be giving its own unique information and a list of no no's which appear to contradict each other.

I could use some help in sorting through this 'mess' (well, 'mess' for me) so I could try at least flashing the original ROM and get OTA (for which I require concise instructions).

Also, something else seems to be happening... Asus Zentalk forums appear to refuse to load on my laptop for whatever reason.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Settings>About - will show you what rom you have.

I would recommend unlocking bootloader 1st as this seems to have helped me. If you have any recovery but stock or have a white splashscreen then this has already happened... I used the unofficial unlock tool to do this and thus my imei numbers stays off the "no warranty" list..

If you go to the pre-rooted rom thread you can download the newer stock roms. These also have the recovery, boot and droidboot.img files included with the .rar file of a system.img (unrar it of course)...

I believe it may also contain the flashtools, if not look at the CN to WW thread...

Using fastboot you can flash these onto your phone using commands -

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

Make sure, if do this the commands are correct. Copy and paste can be your enemy because if you use the same command and just overwrite your boot/droidboot or recovery every time you flash, it may result in a brick...

Good luck and happy flashing...

I seem to get OTA's pushed now..
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deksman2:
Tnx.

Now that I look back, it doesn't seem too complicated.

My bootloader seems to already be unlocked though.

One other thing... about flashing that system.img

I think I stumbled upon similar instructions before, however, I couldn't find system.img file (everything else was accounted for).

Also, does the the procedure for flashing new ROM's or possibly just OTA's require repetition of ALL those commands, or just some?

Oh and I was able to access the stock recovery (which the seller said he used to flash the custom WW rom). Could I use it to update OTA's manually? And would I need to first unroot the mobile?

In short, if I let TWRP install supersu on exit, or if i install the latest stable or beta supersu, TWRP reboots the phone mid-install and supersu is not installed.

I've unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (latest 2x), took a full nandroid backup, allowed TWRP to install supersu on exit and it worked. Then I tried to install a rom (Android Revolution HD 20.0) but i learnt my firmware was too old, so I restored the nandroid backup and the system worked, but now I can't get root back to install sunshine etc. The phone reboots mid supersu install.

I've cleared caches, re-restored, reflashed twrp, i tried twrp 3.x however that didn't boot, so I flashed back to 2.x ok, and i've tried both the latest stable and beta supersu.

Can someone help with further steps to try? This worked the first time, I guess the nandroid backup and restore process isn't perfect.
