[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
I've now had my Ultra for a full day and find it to be a most excellent device. HTC continues to marry all the facets of an Android better than all but Google.

My OnePlus 3T is going to my uncle tomorrow, or Swappa Tuesday. I really appreciate what OnePlus does and their relationship with customers but in daily use, for me, the 3T reveals itself to not be a flagship. My number one gripe is poor touch response.

I always maintained that if HTC made and sold a phablet in the US again, I'd buy it. The design and aesthetics are just beautiful. I've always enjoyed HTC's software and it remains stellar.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyac02:
I get bored honestly the 3T was nice but I didn't get that wownfactor and the camera was doodoo to me. Same thing with the pixel just was a meh phone. I also think I have come to figure out that I need/want a bigger device I think 5.7 is a great size maybe even 6.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] kirdroid:
Loving the ultra but getting used to size even coming from Pixel XL which was big as well. I feel the included case makes it more clumsy to handle and without the case is great to handle. But man I'm scared that I'm going to drop this off I use without a case.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Marusaia:
My last HTC was the M7. After, was on a LG G3 and I wanted to buy the LG G6 but when I saw the U Ultra, I jump on it. Have it since a week now. Love it. The screen is beautiful, the camera give me some good shot.

I don't regret my choice buying an HTC u ultra despite of an LG g6.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] borisb:
Just don't buy it.

Wait for better and cheaper phones.

Anybody coming from a samsung device? Curious how the display is conpared to amoled screens? Does the ultra u seem washed out compared to the super amoled screens
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ramheer:
Yes it does, I have many devices and the u ultra screen is not bright enough
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] recepo1:

Looks like its a "NO".

There is a SD835 phone coming in just a month.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] hellxprexx:
I'm using this phone since 1 month and I'm very satisfy with. Its design, Its body, clear screen, many HTC personal touch and customizations. Very small details that will always make me come back to HTC. After using a One Max for years now and still rocking, I was patiently waiting for HTC to come with another phablet. Meanwhile I used many phone but I always come back to my One Max.

Yes, The Ultra is expensive, but I don't mind as my One Max is still rocking with Android Nougat and still impress me after so many years.

I was a bit afraid about the battery life due to 3000mah and such a large screen but the battery optimization app clear all my doubts, after tweaking it as per my needs, It radically change the battery life. No overheating or whatever.

My cons about Ultra are: no 3.5 jack adapter in the box. The stock earphone is of good quality, the sound clear and sounds very good but not so loud for me. The secondary screen lacks. They should have implement more options and customization. I'm waiting for a good custom ROM to fix some of these.

In general, I love this phone and I don't think anyone could change my mind about it. This phone makes me gain more trust in HTC and If another phablet will be out from them, I'm sure I will go for it even if its expensive.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] StilsonCanyon:
Have to add another "Well said!" post to this thread. I've been using the U Ultra for 5 days now and I'm very happy with this phone. The 821 is indeed a very good at power management, as I've been able to get 36+ hours between charges with 3+ hours screen on time, mostly spent playing games and browsing the web.

[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] NightOrchid:
I love my U Ultra .. but what Im finiding annoying, is that everyone, including reviewers, love bashing HTC at the moment for their "wasted space"... but I ask... did anyone bash Google for the ugly wall brick sized chins on their £800 ($950) Pixel XL .. which has No stereo speakers, Or Apple.. for their wasted chin space on iPhone 6S Plus / 7 Plus.. No, they didnt.. however, I was annoyed that HTC left out the 3.5 mm Adaptor then forced me to pay £10 for one...

And they critisise HTC for "stealing" LG V10/20 2nd'ary screen... but lets take a look here...

HTC were first with Outboard antenna lines for better signal reception..

HTC were first with "real" Stereo speakers

HTC were the first to use 1.55 micron pixels on their camera "Ultra Pixel".. allowing for lower light photography at lower resolutions, opening the way for better mobile photography..

HTC were one of, if not the first dev to make a full all round metal body phone

HTC (and SONY) were one of the only devs to push the boundries with development of the LCD display instead of always falling back to AMOLED

So yeah, sort that one out Apple / Hauwei / Motorola.. and everyone else..

Thing is, HTC make some of the best and most beautiful phones around.. yes theyve made mistakes.. but I dont think they deserve the bashing theyre getting..

Oh and finally.. i was chatting to one of the staff in Carphone Warehouse (UK) and she said theyve sold 100s of U Ultras and U Plays, so good to hear from a support and OTA

updates perspective :)

I just wish "Sense Companion" worked better here in the UK

Just my thoughts. anyway :)
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] petvas:
I agree. I love my Ultra too and I hope HTC provides timely updates.

I also don't understand how people can love the U11 and hate the Ultra. These phones are very similar. I love the secondary display and the size of this phone. Actually there is nothing I don't like.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] NightOrchid:
Agreed....

Here in UK, we are still on 1.09.401.4 (January 17 security)... which is the first update they released... yet in the US, they are on 1.15, in fact theyve had 2 or 3 updates..

You often find people who bash the U Ultra have actually never owned one themselves.. they just watch videos and jump on the band wagon.. Ive found its the Samsung / Apple fanbois, just because the U Ultra has an 821 Soc instead of the 835.. as if that makes any difference to anything..

IMO.. ide rather have the awesome LOUD boomsound stereo speakers, than the membrane covered audio that waterproofing ruins ( ala Xperia).. Mind you, wireless charging would be nice, but as QC 3 is so fast, and the 3000mAh is actually really good..... Wireless isnt THAT big of a deal..

Like I say.. I do love my U Ultra :)
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] avivasaf:
After 2 months of use, i can say this is one of the best smartphone this year. Im changing phones like socks, the last one was oneplus 3t,and i can say htc u beats him in all parameters. The battery life is better than oneplus 3450 ma battery, the camera at the top only i iPhone 7s beats him(and i had it to) sense is the best android launcher and os ever, the only bad thing is the down bottoms that are to close to the edge and it is hard to get used to it. Overall 9/10 points to htc u ultra!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocterNope:
It is running Marshmallow 5.0.1, is rooted (SuperSU). I can get it into download mode and odin can see it. If I don't go into download mode it just stays at the boot screen telling me what binary I'm running (custom) with the Samsung logo above it. I'm running stock ROM, no recovery,and the baseband ended with OK2 if that helps. It got bricked after I ran a script that was supposed to disable PIE. I can give more info if needed.

Breakdown:

- Galaxy S4 SGH-I337

- Android 5.0.1

- Rooted using SuperSU

- Odin CAN see the phone in download mode

- Boot only gets to Samsung screen

- Binary is Custom

- Stock Rom and recovery

- Baseband ends with OK2

Forgot to say, the script was editing the linker file in /system/bin

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sabejithepirate:
I have never used Samsung devices so I am a major noob I Am sorry. I tried looking it up on here and following the tuts but I seem to be doing something wrong as well I have no idea what I am doing. I am trying to get Samsung pay working on my International S7 edge as I wanted the better specs and had no idea I couldn't use Spay with it till the device was in my hand.

I tried flashing AP, BL,CP, ad CSC that other people said they got working, then sideloading the latest Spay and Spay framework but Spay always hangs at my Samsung account with start I click start and nothing ever happens. Can someone link me to a noob friendly tut on how to get it working because trying a bunch of things I find on here takes a long time for it to end up not working because I'm doing something wrong I guess.. :confused:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrshe:
I've had my 6P on Sprint since i bought it and always updated monthly via fastboot flash. I just switched to Verizon and im using Jan 2017 factory image...same as when i was on sprint. Everything works. Now there are new factory images for Feb 2017, 1 for Verizon only and 1 for the rest of the phones. My question is, what's the difference with the Verizon only image? Am i losing some features because i'm not on the Verizon only update? Also, if i do flash the Verizon only update, can i flash non-Verizon update down the line?

Thanks. Phone works fine without the Verizon only update....so i'm a little hesitant to flash Verizon only unless there is some real benefit.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hi... Verizon only version contains a different radio.img. That's all I'm aware off. Verizon users should confirm :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohlin5:
I believe this is accurate. While I haven't tried it, I am on Verizon and flashed the "all except Verizon" build when it first came out (because I was impatient and didn't want to wait ;) )...everything worked perfectly, until I realized when I called other VZW cell phones I couldn't reach their voicemail - calls would just terminate after 4 rings or whatever.

The resolution to this was simply reverting back to an older radio, and then everything worked flawlessly. Pretty obvious that something with Verizon's system didn't like the radio that they used in that build - so makes complete sense that that's the only difference.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murphyjasonc:
The only difference is that the Verizon build contains a different radio.img. The older radio in the build for all has problems with Verizon's voicemail system. If you flash the Verizon one and you don't like it you can always go back to the other build or even easier just flash the radio from the build for all in fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
First of all, the February update NUF26K brings many security fixes, in addition to the different baseband (v03.79)mentioned earlier that has Verizon carrier specific fixes. You should flash it for both these reasons.

Ok, I spent some time searching, but couldn't find the exact solution. Every time I try to sync using Windows Mobile Device Center, nothing happens. I plug in my Kaiser and it is not recognized. As soon as I remove the SD card it works fine and syncs. Just out of curiosity I plugged my Kaiser into another computer with XP and Activesync and it works find with the SD card in or out. Any ideas?

Yeah I've noticed that Vista has trouble syncing the device. When I connect I get the "Syncronizing" status bar, but it doesn't actually sync anything. Although i didn't bother to check with/without SD Cards cos it doesn't bother me that much :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
I've just noticed while browsing the net that there is a Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1, which provides "Windows Mobile 6 feature support". I'm not at home now so can't check to see if I have this installed... so could it be that we're just running an old version of WMDC that doesn't support WM6?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jc240:
Yeah I looked into that as well. I downloaded the upgrade from the microsoft website and still no luck. Not sure why since it works just fine on an XP machine. Not overly impressed with Vista so far.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] stanuel:
Hi guys, I think I have problem with my modem.

Around 3 months ago I bring my phone to Oppo Service Center because I cannot get 4G connection, I can only get 3G or H+.

The technician said that my 4G antenna is broken, it need to be replaced if I want 4G connection (price more than USD 200), I cancel it, because this phone is my daily driver I cannot let it stayed in the service center.

Then the strange things happen, last week I went to Bangkok, I bought sim card, and I get full 4G connection, but after I came back from my trip and use my sim card, it sill can only get 3G or H+.

My sim card was tested in Huawei and Samsung and it get 4G connection, so I don't think my it is a problem with my sim card too.

I'm from Indonesia, btw.

Need advice from you:

1. Have any of you experience this before?

2. Do you have recommendation for modem version that I can try?

I'm running official (rooted) ColorOS 2.1.5i with TWRP and SU installed.

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] messyjames:
I followed this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xa/how-to/f31xx-how-to-root-xperia-xa-noob-t3430170

With some specific files (boot and recovery images) from here:

https://xdaforums.com/xa-ultra/how-to/how-to-root-xperia-xa-ultra-dual-t3439173

The rough steps that I took:

Put the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip in the microsd

Unlocked the bootloader

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Booted into TWRP

Since the internal data was shown as (0) , I Wiped the device.

Installed SuperSU-v2.76 from the microsd

Rebooted the device

It did an automatic reboot after going through the logos (I guess this part is expected after installing SuperSU)

After that, it gets stuck on the Xperia logo (the video logo keeps playing)

Now, after I turn on the device:

It goes through the Sony logo

It goes through the Android logo

It gets stuck on the Xperia logo (while playing the logo)

It doesn't get passed the Xperia logo.

Things I can still do:

I can boot into TWRP recovery (yay?)

I can use adb sideload with TWRP

I can't yet get back into fastbood mode, but I guess I can if I keep at it. I could go to fastbood mode before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think it has to do with drivers. By default it recognizes the device as "SEMC flash drive" and will not recognize it as fastboot. After about a minute or so, it will disconnect the "SEMC flash drive" and boots the phone.

Give it to me straight, is my phone actually bricked? :eek:

If not, please let me know what I can do to fix it. It is very much appreciated to hear from anyone about this. Thank you all in advance.

If you need any additional info (logs, phone details, etc. etc.) feel free to ask me and I will happily comply.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] sexxualization:
If you can't get through the bootanimation, then yes that's kind of a soft brick. A solution would be to flash an official firmware from xperifirm (preferably .100 or .111 in order to to install root successfully) and then get everything done with simple baby steps. After flashing, you can wipe your data (if you wanna), reboot and then install root (I do not recommend flashing supersu and wiping at the same time when using an official firmware).

Note: Because we are stuck with only official fws, boot and recovery files can only work on specific fws
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] messyjames:
Hey

Thanks for your reply on my cry for help.

So basically get the firmware from Xpeifirm, make sure boot is working fine (basically back to square one ... sorta), then root by installing the SuperSU again. right?

I had already looked at Xperifirm before this. but I couldn't figure out how to properly use it. and now I'm a bit stuck.

I followed these:

But when I follow the steps, I get stuck here (when creating the bundle using the bundler in flash tools) :

Does flashing this result in data loss?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
In general, if you wish a reliable system, yes, you'll have to wipe your dalvik, cache, system and data prior to flashing. You may wish to not wipe your internal storage (where photos, downloads and media, for example) are stored, so they may be safe (though still worth backing up), but any app data and system settings will be wiped. In any case, you'll want to wipe as much of the 21/02 system before downgrading to the 13/02 build.

Here is what I do know.

When I power the device on normally it is frozen at the Samsung Galaxy S6 boot page and at the top it says KERNEL REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 3 BINARY 2. Is this because I have the wrong firmware on the device? Is there any way I can get the bootloader, the firmware and everything else and just restore everything at once?
