[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hey mate i completely agree with you. I have bought HTC 10 for around INR 50000 (700$ ). Today we are celebrating DIWALI festival in our country and i came here to share my feelings. I did a huge mistake by purchasing this device. The problem that i am facing is listed below :

:(Camera : Whenever i try to take picture and Video at home (indoor) i am getting grainy images i don't know why:crying:. I never felt like i am using a premium device. I am highly disappointed:( Diwali is festival of Joy and happiness. I wanted capture precious and memorable moment but i can't do that with this phone. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of grainy images. I even try pro mode but it didn't work. HDR help just a bit while taking photos but for Video i did'n't find any solution whatsoever.

:(Grip: Since it has that chamfered aluminum sharp edges it is not comfortable to hold.

:( My most favorite game Dead Effect lags on extreme and high settings. Some low end game lag as well..

:( Benchmark: AnTuTu score came around 108000 really! Many cheap device available right now are ahead of HTC 10. I can live with that if the performance of phone is better sadly that is not the case with HTC 10.

:( Speaker. Is it really Boom Sound? I have to increase the volume at max to hear something.

:( Batttery: Battery is draining really fast especially when using camera. I have never seen it to stay at 100% for more than a minute after recharging. Why it doesn't stay at 100% i m totally clueless. Battery discharge super-fast between 100-80%. It gets really hot while doing some intensive task.

:( Carrier : It doesn't support VoLTE. This problem is specific to my country. JIO has promised to provide TRUE 4G speed with no calling charges. Unfortunately HTC 10 doesn't have VoLTE. I never thought that a premium device will miss such a important feature. I bought Reliance JIO sim and HTC 10 together. I am able to make calls and use net but there are some limitation.

:(Cases and Screen Protector: I have wasted lot of money on cases and Screen protector. It is really hard to find good case and screen protector for HTC 10 (not hot selling device) . Finally i was able to find perfect SP and Case for HTC 10 after so many trial and errors plus extensive research.

:victory:Screen Size: This is personal preference. I think they should have made 5.5 inches HTC 10 instead of 5.2 inches considering the price.

:good:Lastly it really excel in Audio department that was the primary reason i chosen it over S7 edge :D. It is a good Audio device indeed :cool: Selfie camera is awesome! :)

Some solutions.

I've done a bit of research on WiFi Direct for you. It turns out all it does it make a standard connection between any two support devices but transferring files itself is dependent on the program itself since WiFi Direct doesn't specify a specific way to do it.

Therefore, any Android WiFi Direct connection could use the same app (e.g., WiFi Shoot) to transfer files to each other; I've verified this using my Htc 10 and Nvidia Shield. Samsung, of course, has its own proprietary application which was why you were running into trouble. I do believe that if you install WiFi Shoot, then the transfer will work fine.

For the screen polarization, it's common to LCDs. Usually either horizontal or vertical is blanked out (it's rare to have diagonal polarization) but if you get the Orzly tempered glass full coverage protector, then it will reduce the effect enough that you can see in both orientations.

Game performance is definitely Htc's fault because the throttling is set way too aggressive in stock. Any of the current ROMs (I like Leedroid) will have this reduced or turned off (your choice) and my own experience is that it lets you control when you want to burn your battery (I prefer my games to be smooth too). The bonus to this is you can do ad blocking when you're on a custom ROM.

THANK YOU!

So far the only real advise I get on this issue. Downloaded Wi-Fi shoot an tested it. Working fine with my S7. Now my 10 finally received an option in the contextual menu to share via ... Wi-Fi Shoot.

In the mean time I have installed Viper Rom, HTC gallery app finally received the write to SD access.

I will have to learn again some twrp tricks and how to backup and restore my data after flashing the software since I noticed that viper releases the bigger updates as a full ROM and not all of them are OTA updates.

I will have to learn to deal with this new approach. Otherwise i still kind of like this phone. It's not perfect, not what I expected in every way but it does the job.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ro_explorer:
Late to the party but still .. I accepted the challenge!

I just transferred a package of pictures from/to my HTC 10 to my aging (but still young) Nexus 4, to Note 4 and 2 tablets (nexus 7 and a LG G Pad) using wifi direct only. No root needed, no custom roms. The files have been copied, not moved.

I used a free app from play store. It is called SuperBeam (for me it worked better than Wifi Shoot).

What next?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ionut Ciprian:
Yes, make it available in the context menu and use just the original software. OK? [emoji106]
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ro_explorer:
:) ... I'll let "just the original software" domain to iOS users. I'm 100% Android, so I install what I need.

On the serious note now, I understand your frustration. I also lost unique photos due to hardware misbehaving (phones corrupting sd cards, flash memory going bad w/o me getting a backup and so on). Still ... HTC 10 it is praised for the lack of bloatware. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of mobile phone users have no idea what wifi-direct is and what it is good for, let alone how to use it.

The stock experience has failed you, I understand. Anyway, to consider Samsung as the standard in android software offering it is a small stretch.

Let's just share knowledge.

To be honest, HTC 10 is the second phone where I have not felt the need to root it (1st was Xperia Z3C). All others demanded root and tweaking with the software. It is stable, debloated out of the box and gives me enough freedom to feel happy while using it. I barely use default apps anyway. I have my preferred image viewer, image editor, launcher, document viewer and so on. The last thing I would think about when ranting this phone would be the lack of software.

:good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChronoReverse:
No, in this case here, Samsung was actually quite clever because they made it simpler for their users by including an app (which isn't part of stock Android) to transfer files over WiFi Direct (which most new Android devices have) and naming the app WiFi Direct.

This is actually a good thing because it removes confusion for their users. The only problem is this is only available for Samsung (it's really Samsung Direct). If they made it available to everyone in the Play Store, then it'd would have been great move on Samsung's part.

Luckily the same functionality is packaged in free apps like WiFi Shoot (which does the same thing).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rolo42:
Not to be snarky but why would I recommend a ROM and kernel to someone who can't manage to transfer files successfully and blame others for it? There's no way I'd open myself up to that.

To answer your question, though, I'm not one to ask. Viper looked neat but installing Xposed killed it (bootloop). I don't know why, I'm not saying Viper doesn't run Xposed, etc. I am saying I didn't spend enough time on it since I decided to give the htc experience a try (it does look good and wife loves so, I should at least be familiar).

Rooted, Xposed, GravityBox, EnhancedToast, Burnt Toast, Xprivacy (must-have), custom boot screen (must have, boot sounds are obnoxious on any phone), AdAway (must-have). So far I am really liking it and I came from Nexus 5, NovaLauncher, Beautiful Widgets, all the other stuff I mentioned installed. My Note 10.1 even runs OmniROM. My point being is that I'm vendor-averse but I'm liking what htc has done with the 10.

Perhaps you should try it and if it falls short, then switch to something else. It's not like Nougat isn't going to force a change anyway (I'm anticipating an RUU/re-mod/re-install, depending on low-level changes and availability of systemless mods).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ionut Ciprian:
I will try to keep my post on a polite manner, but your post doesn't even worth reading it. And you know why? Because it starts directly with a statement by trying to make others look stupid.

The rest was just your way to show off your arrogance.

I only asked for a kernel and a good custom rom (eventually with OTA updates like Viper to spare me for other headaches.

I'm more tempted to enjoy a true user experience than learning a device how to serve my needs.

I don't know if you can keep up with my logic but have patience. Will not take long!

Try to frame this for a second. I need two phones, so while I already had an S7 I decided to buy this ordinary aluminium can sold as flagship, cause two identical phones were just too much right?

So I was expecting for the same functionality out of the box.

They are booth flagships sold at the same price range right?

Imagine that Samsung phones offer this functionality for years. For example the multi windows which, if I'm not wrong came along with S4 or S5 will only became a android basic with Nougat, and so many other examples.

I only asked for fast transfer speeds and a gallery app. Basics I will say, but not for this damn phone sold as flagship. I had to root, install a custom rom to have a working music and gallery app. Let's not even mention the time waisted with this.

Blame me for not sharing anything with google and not having a Facebook account which you probably can't live without it.

So, thank you for wasting my time and yours as well but I'm not interested in anything written after the first sentences.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] huanhoho:
Ok, the name of the topic caught my attention days ago (I'm curious), and today I decided to take a look again...

I wonder if I am the only person that came here and thought how ridiculous is this topic, since the beginning, precisely starting from the title "a statement of poverty", or if some other users just decided not to reply due to the complete lack of content and rationality.

The HTC 10 is my smartphone, I don`t need/have a second smartphone, but I am familiar with other models. I simply cannot understand why someone who has reasonable knowledge about smartphones, HTC and the Android system buys the HTC 10 and then comes to the forum to write about some very weird comparisons if we consider the available options.

I am sorry, but it looks very newbie buying the HTC 10 and then complaining about all the aspects that non-newbies would probably say that make the HTC 10 better when compared to the alternatives.

It sounds like someone who goes to the supermarket, doesn't like chocolate but decides to try one of the new chocolates, and then writes a review about how chocolate is something awful. Instead, you should have bought ice cream, cookies or something that you like; then you could discuss if they are amazing or disappointing, according to your taste.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ionut Ciprian:
Good morning,

I kindly respect your peaceful approach on this topic which might be reasonable up to a point.

What if you tasted chocolate some time ago and then you return to your childhood pleasure to discovered that "the taste" is not exactly the way you remember?

Sense this days became nothing else but a simple launcher (like Nova) that can be ported and installed on other Android devices as well.

Like this I feel like HTC is loosing it's identity. A fully packed set of proprietary apps it was exactly what was making it usable by a large scale of people and easy to understand.

Try to explain your mother (just an example) where is all that traffic gone because Google Photos decided to backup some pictures. And this is the first example that I can think right away.

OK, you say I'm a newbie... No problem, but what about other users that are way less experienced than myself and this phone was offered with a contract extension. Do you think they will love it?

Do you thing they will ever return to this brand?

I'm kindly reminding to you as well that this smartphone was addressed to a large scale of users, not only the experts.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] p50kombi:
If you're not happy with your purchase, shame, return it or call HTC.

Really see no point at all to start moaning about it here as we won't give you your money back or get you a different phone.

To get onto your chocolate analogy, if you're not happy, return it to the supermarket or write to the company who produces your favourite chocolate.

Don't go standing on a street corner next to the entrance of the chocolate factory screaming how bad it has become (which is what you're in effect doing positing this little rant in a HTC forum)..

Literally don't see the point.....

As for me, I have never been happier with a smartphone than I have with my HTC 10....
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hey mate you are banging against the wall. I wish someone with kind heart or someone who wanna help others reply to your post. Now most of the peeps replying here are typical fanboys. Who doesn't know what is right or wrong. This peeps are selfish who only think about themselves. One of my friend is a fanboy of one politician who happen to be a criminal and bad guy but my friend don't want to believe it. Nobody can convince him that the politician whom he admire is a bad guy. Similarly nobody can convince HTC fanboys. It is next to impossible. Firstly I don't understand why would we need to root a device which claims to have pure stock experience.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ionut Ciprian:
Hi there mate, and thanks for suport!

Do I look like I care about fanboys?

As you noticed they only have 2 weapons:

1. Making you a dumb for not doing a proper research before buying this ordinary aluminium can called flagship.

2. Making you a dumb for not being capable to handle with whatever this garbage phone have left to offer.

I rooted my device just so I can use the original HTC gallery app.

Blame me for not sharing with Google! Dump phone requires dumb decisions to make it work as I want. (it's like training a puppy the return the stick)

As you noticed already you need to look dumb around here to get some help.

Don't worry, original software was also a crap lagging like hell with a bad battery life. Nothing extraordinary.

This Venom Rom I must say is a little better than the original.

This post is called "A statement of powerty" for a reason. I strongly believe that HTC will soon come to an end. The lack of development for proprietary apps looks like a statement for me. I think it was a cost reduction strategy wrapped up as a marketing bull**** of debloating / trimming Sense which became nothing more but a simple android launcher.

In reality I think their r/d department was trimmed as well, because proprietary apps might not work anyway after a couple of their ex flagships will be updated to Nougat.

They already started to produce the Pixel for Google, and before realising they will became just a manufacturer for the big boys.

It's a sinking boat along with their loyal dogs and fanboys.

So make me sentimental but I just couldn't miss the opportunity of what might be the last HTC F.L.A.G.S.H.I.T

Alright guys, i under stand your frustration when devices dont operate like they advertise to do. Please remember this is someones honest opinion about the device and they are allowed to post this as long as they dont break XDA rules. Please remember to be polite and respectful of ones opinions and lets try to keep this thread civil.

Thanks

- Disappointingly weak Wi-Fi signal. I had to modify the network, buy a new router, reposition the new router and still no great results.

Drives me nuts.

- A strong aluminium body with very sharp edges. Hell no. I fell like throwing it away from my hands if used without a case to soften the edges. Maybe they were designed as a mechanical failure / power saving function.

Agreed the whole chamfered stuff is uncomfortable and its not a joy to hold in the hand due to that, weight and the width for me.

I'm itching to get rid of it and replace it with a Pixel or an iPhone 7, no longer enjoy the 10 tbh did at first but very quickly turned sublime for me.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
the thing is nearly all sd820 phones hae problems with wifi. 2.4ghz wifi network more bars, but bad connection/speeds. 1/2 bars of 5ghz network and it's as fast as with LAN cable on PC lol. wifi range is one thing. normally even one bar should be enough for proper speeds when properly set up the router.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SynisterWolf:
Enough with the bickering. This is the last time i will say this. If you cant post in a respectful manner then dont post at all. Anyone that continues this will receive more than a warning

Thanks

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] King p1n:
I quite like the Pixel tbh its really snappy feels a million times better in the hand than the HTC 10 caseless imo. Whilst I feel since they're the same price the iPhone is much more value for money as it has more hardware features e.g. water resistance and dual speaker set up and will retain its value much longer than the Pixel will. And like you said support in terms of software and just general hardware support especially If you live close to an Apple store.

Prefer the Pixels camera to the iPhone the HDR+ is really a treat compared to iPhones more true to life photos and the front camera on the Pixel and the HTC 10 also a lot better than iPhone 7s, its like night and day. Though I dont take many photos I probably use the front cam more than the rear lol but yeah.

Prefer some elements of Android to iOS and vice versa.

At this point I'll probably end up taking the iPhone 7, and see what the Pixel 2017 brings next year definitely curious to see, which may return me back to Android.

Nothing else on android interests me at this point, Samsung don't never really been interested in their phones, OnePlus 5.5" phones too big for my liking, LG nah etc.

May be just me, I come from a Nexus 5 and within that 3 years I used to google's app, so there is no problem for me and actually I am happy to see HTC use google's app instead. I also have a G3, and my wife also change from a nexus 5 to S7 edge, we both end up use google's app + 3rd party app, most of the time those preload app just not good enough, for example, scheduler widget.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.

The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.

I was flashing S7 root on S7Edge :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stephenuk:
i just used an earlier version
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] madhub:
Thank you very much, worked for me!:good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Nikouy:
Hi Guys,

I flashed everything stock after having some issues with encrypton and a custom ROM.

After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img with Odin 3.17 I only get a red screen when booting into recovery and the phone won't even boot the OS.

Any idea how to get TWRP working so I can get back to a custom ROM?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Edit: Hero2lte worked :)

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...

Any help? How did you solved this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] juda iskariotsky:
I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.

Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.

He doesn't even bother to mention that bug...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Duck_Dodgers:
Same here. Only in my case I use this ROOM for weeks :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 7amzah10:
How?

step by step please...

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Can anyone explain please?

step by step...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nickRic:
Just reboot via ADB...

Hopefully yours bricked red phones are booting again...

Just got mine first red screen :(

Anyway... for those of you who are getting the red screen on your S7 and are on Windows, just do the following:

- install ADB on your PC/MAC/LINUX (follow the instruction on: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/)

- open CMD (as administrator)

- go to the adb directory (mine is c:\adb)

- enter the following: adb reboot-bootloader

Should work, and your stock firmware should overwrite TWRP.

Hope this helps, CiAo

hi, i tried doing this but when i type the command "adb devices" or "adb reboot-bootloader", the list shows up empty. what do I do? please help.
