First of all, I don't recommend buying unlock codes in general (other than from your carrier). Buying things on Ebay gives you a high chance of being scammed, so just be careful who you buy from. All you have to do is follow the "Flashing Unlocked Firmware" so you won't get AT&T bloatware.

How is the battery life? I have a Verizon s8 and would like to have hotspot without the provision check.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
For unlocked firmware, battery life is mostly the same. I don't know if flashing the unlocked firmware can circumvent hotspot checks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] car.los.7399:
From what I read on the s8+ thread, they posted the subscription check is bypassed with the unlocked firmware. Also, two others said the battery life was draining at a much faster pace than the original firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Really?... For me it's fine. There are different things that can cause variations, such as installing new apps, etc.

VoLTE on unlocked S8

Apparently "inneyeseakay" found a way to circumvent this and get VoLTE without bloat via his post here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72503373&postcount=1548

Anyone interested in giving it a whirl!?! I have cake in the van!

Mike15678, what are your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
That seems a bit broken and unnecessary, in my opinion (you'll see why). People have been telling me that flashing the "USERDATA" file after flashing unlocked firmware gives them carrier specific features. Some even said that they could delete the bloatware that gets installed. But, don't take my word for it. The method you provided does seems a bit interesting, though.

Does changing the carrier code to XAA unlock every band of spectrum? ( given that our model is SIM unlocked )
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thor2j:
All the us S8s have all the bands.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike15678:
Yes, "XAA" is the unlocked CSC, therefore you can use any carrier's SIM card, and your phone will automatically apply proper settings and change to the carrier's CSC (assuming your phone is SIM card unlocked).

Trying to flash a rom on my HTC 820 (d820n), Stuck at "Main Version is older".

So one dark day, i woke up to my phone being stuck on a Bootloader loop, So after a lot of attempts to get it out of this state, i decided to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, wipe /system and install a new ROM, The image i'm trying to install is a stock Marshmallow image (after relocking the bootloader of course) but for some reason i get a message on the bootloader saying "Main Version Is Older Update failed."

Any ideas how i may get my phone alive again?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Evening all,

Have had the HTC 10 since launch day and I have to say it's been quite the beast, besides battery and the usual camera blips, it's the best phone I've ever had.

Recently I've been keeping a closer eye on the flagships of this year.

One plus 5

HTC u11

Galaxy S8

The latter of the three I have lost all interest in, but the other two I'm stuck between choosing, I have to say I'm torn, this will be my first phone bought out right, the one plus five is £200 cheaper which is massive really ( depending which one is chosen) and I couldn't care less about squeezing my phone.

Just wondered what you guys thought and what you'd be after yourselves, the one plus feels like what the Nexus line up should be.

The 11 will also be one of three HTC flagships which I've not owned ( one x, m8) so I'm still peering back over that HTC fence.

My thoughts are with developers too, I live a vibrant development community as I root my devices day one every time.

Any thoughts?

Or? Just keep the 10? It's got a tonne of life left in it, definitely a great phone, I have a load of kit for it and it's S-off.

Confused.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
I say - save your money and keep the 10. It's a great phone, and it still has plenty of punch. Maybe wait untill Christmass so you get yourself a nice Cristmass present [emoji1]
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] BillTheCat:
HTC11: A gimmick disguised as a smartphone.

S8: Like an iPhone, overrated, overhyped and overpriced to match.

One+5: Now there's a contender. Looks like great build quality, good Dev support. I'd stick with the 10 until next year, when prices drop and look at it then.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
I don't know, I love my HTC 10, but there are certain software things that really annoy me. And let's not even talk about how we're still on the January security patch here. So I have been often thinking if buying the phone was a good idea. I had to choose between OnePlus 3T and the 10, and the HTC fanboy in me won.

Still, I'll probably wait until next year. The price of the 3T will probably drop, so I was thinking about selling the 10 and getting it, but getting a good price for the 10 would be difficult.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I think I'm going to sit on the 10 for a bit.

I'm torn, much like yourself.

I have to say, ghough. I am still happy with the 10.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Aye I'm with you, it's the first time I've been this torn between choosing, with the m7 and m9 I didn't hesitate, even the Nexus 6P, I just sold it and got this.

Only problem with waiting is youll miss the sweet spot in time and then have to spend more time looking at the newer version of the phone you got too late :eek:

It's a tightrope lol. Think if I held it in my hand (1+5) my inner child would win, I think I was a magpie in a previous life, anything shiney and my eyes light up, maybe I was a pirate?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Gimmicky in regards to the squeeze madness. But the rest of the phone is supposed to be alright and so long as the got viper it'll be superb. [emoji16]

I do agree though, can't see that squeeze taking off and best of luck getting it to work on cm ROMs.:)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
You'll get 200 on the​ 10 now but sell it to a human rather than somewhere that buys phones like mizuma

I've heard great things about the 3T, I have hard great things about oneplus in general.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Aye I think a lot of people will say the same..

Think if I see the one plus I'll get it, I am a sucker for new tech.

Do you think the leap is that large between the 820 and 835?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
Yeah, if I'm going to sell it, I'll sell it to a human.

And I've been hearing great things about the 3T and OnePlus.

The only problem is that the 3T will render my 128 gb sdcard useless, and I'll have to get the 128 variant of the 3T.

Which is why I'm hesitating.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
I don't know about the 3T... My friend has it and, TBH, I really don't see any advantages to my 10. And after Nougat update, his phone can't last a day with one full charge with moderate to low usage. I'm getting about 36 hours off charge on my bone stock 10 on Nougat with about the same usage pattern
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
One plus 5 is cheaper but has worse camera and screen. The lower price tag doesn't come without takeoffs.

I say stick with the 10
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Good point but theyre only £30 now? Not sure if that would sway me alone?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
I don't know, I've heard very very different in regards to the camera, I'm not a huge fan of the HTC camera, hasn't been great for a while, can take good pics but is super prone to glare and haze.

If it's just been cleaned then it's ok but wiping it every time is a pain.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
I don't know, battery life hasn't been amazing on Nougat for me either. I don't know if I've got 3 hours of SoT on Nougat.

But it's not that much of a problem, I can always get to a charger in time. My main issue is that with sudden lag. Like one moment, the phone is all smooth, and then something lags. The best example for it is opening the phone with the fingerprint. Sometimes, it works flawlessly. It directly opens to the home screen.

But sometimes, there is a moment of lag, when I can see the lockscreen before it unlocks. And it might sound ridiculous, but it can be very frustrating. I chose the 10 in front of the S7 specifically to avoid lag.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
As for battery life, take a look at my average on the bottom. As for lag... What lag???? Just kidding, lag is the only thing I never had on my 10 [emoji1] View attachment 4191177
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
My main problem is that I'm from Romania, and that's why everything is a little bit more expensive. Or it seems more expensive for me, at least.

I could get the 128 GB OnePlus 3T for around 685 USD. But then, I could only sell my 10 for maybe 600, and I'd lose the ability to use the sd card, which was 60 USD or so.

So it wouldn't be that profitable from the point of view of money. But I've heard so many things about the smoothness of Oxygen OS that it seems worth it.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I really don't understand how you can get this much battery life. I'll post my battery life once I'll be able, since I just charged it, but I normally can't get more than 3h SoT.

As for lag, I had it pretty worse, but then ai pinpointed my problem to my old sd card, which is why I bought my current card and then I did a reset.

And now I still occasionally get some lag on Chrome or Facebook, and while unlocking the device. And it's frustrating.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
Chrome is a lag friendly app, so I disabled that. Facebook is buttery smooth for me. I really don't understand this battery life thing. I have 2 10s, and both have similar battery life. No wi-fi issues, no lag whatsoever, nothing. I did have a problem with one of my phones, but that was resolved with the help of HTC Croatia. They gave me a new phone because my issue wasn't solved after 2 warranty claims
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
My battery life was pretty good on Marshmallow, I mean I certainly got the ~4 hours SoT that the reviewers were talking about. The problems started with Nougat, even after I performed multiple factory resets. I was so frustrated at a point that I installed Resurrection Remix for a while, before returning to stock.

The only different thing that I've had is that I was always S-OFF. As soon as I got the phone I used Sunshine. But I don't think that something like that could cause lag.

And I was thinking about sending the phone to service, it's still in warranty of course, but I've generally had a bad experience with stuff like that here in Romania. So I'm hesitating to send my phone away for weeks.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I meant compared to the s8 and and 11.

The main thing I see the one plus has going for it other than the lower price is great performance, according to reviews. The 11 has that too, so it comes down to if the price difference is worth the better camera and screen.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
I used to get 7 hours SOT on MM. N is definetly worse, but I'm happy. My replacement phone is still bone stock, but I am going to s-off, just like I did with my first one [emoji1] I just think $25 is a rip off. I spent $50 on my first phone, and now $25 for a new one... It's overkill if you ask me, but s-off is mandatory on all my HTC phones, so I'll cough up those $25 when I clear my PayPal account
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] BillTheCat:
Yes, the hardware specs are great, but I was not impressed by the change in their design language going to glass. And I wonder what vulnerabilities the 'squeeze' sensors introduce. Besides... how many of us leave our phones exposed, or don't we put them in cases to protect them?

True of ANY camera, even a Hasselblad. If you don't clean your lens, expect glare and haze. I traded from an M7 to an M9 and can tell you that I'll never, ever, EVER again buy a camera without OIS. I'm perfectly content with the sensor on the 10 - it does all I need. My view is that if you require more, then it's time for a full-body traditional camera with interchangeable lenses.

Boom. I was tempted by the 1+3T, but after looking into it, decided to stick with the 10... for now. I wish the company would go back to the smaller format phones (the M7 was perfect) because they're easier to operate with one hand. And it seems clear by testing that the ruggedness of a metal-body phone is more reliable than that of glass. But that's just my preference.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
Amen brother! My thoughts exactly!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
I have no idea how you get so much battery life. I might just be a heavy user.. but battery life on Nougat has been horrible.

It is a rip off.. but well, if you want S-OFF, you don't have much of a choice.

Out of curiosity.. what's your software number? Are you WWE or European unlocked?

And if you don't have any lag.. what's your normal RAM usage?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
I'm on 2.41.401.4. WWE officiall. My RAM is at 60% used ATM. I never close any apps because I think HTC has the best RAM managment out there, so there is really no need for me to mess with anything
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
Okay, now I'm really confused.

I am also WWE, but in my case, I had to convert the phone, and I'm just on 2.41.401.3. My RAM is normally only at 55%, and I normally close apps pretty often. Specifically because of that. The phone is smooth most of the time, and then it suddenly lags.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
No such issues here. Maybe you should go on and update to 401.4
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
I don't have the update though.

I'm sure that I converted my phone to WWE, HTC__001, but I can't find any OTA updates.

Still, the XDA Guide which I used to convert my 10 has added a RUU zip for the 401.4, so I might just update it
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
My CID is HTC__034 if that makes any difference, but I think it doesn't
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
I'm not sold on the 11 to be honest and the more I think of it it just reminds me of when I got the evo 3d, a great phone for its original design but when you charge it with the likes of cm you lose 3d , in the 11's case squeeze will be lost and that will annoy the hell out of me, regards to a case I have to say I never drop my phone so as of the last few months I've just had it naked with just the dbrand skin, perfect and great aesthetics to boot, I take exceptional care of my kit and my phone is in impeccable condition.

In regards to the lens, I disagree entirely, previous devices did not get as much smear, glare and grease as this one does (isn't it sapphire?) Probably why if that's the case, either way my previous devices, Nexus 6p, note 4, S5, did not exhibit this issue, I have a DSLR and I know my cameras so I'd like to avoid having this happen again.

I too am partial to ois, it's a must in this day and age, no company has an excuse not to add it.

Up until now and from what I've heard, I'm between the 1+5 and keeping the 10 , I've never allowed a contract to run its course ever since the G1, maybe this is the one to keep hold of?

One thing I will do is see how the first impressions go and how real world usage is going from end users, then perhaps how development is shaping up on XDA and the like, that'll give me a good idea on how to move forward, heavy development is a must for me, I don't want to experience another Z1 type situation with dire development, sure it picked up but it was quiet for far too long.

On the other hand I'll really miss team venom .

Difficult, but I'll know within the first month if I'll be getting it, I'm guessing I will.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] gsw5700:
There isn't a phone worth going to from the 10 at the moment. The 10 is still very fast, good photos, great sound, looks like new. I'll wait until there is something special available, LG7, Nokia?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nathlynn22:
Hello Dladz.

I too have been looking at the phones as they come out. The S8s I do not like do that's a no. Don't like the gimmicky HTC U11. And was most likely going to go for the OP5 but still it's not doing it for me. If it had waterproofing I would say yes. I've never had a waterproof phone but still always panic when it rains or getting it wet at work.

This HTC 10 I have battery life is appalling it lasts about hAlf a day. I must be a really heavy user but I don't think I am I personally think it's a faulty battery. The camera is probably the worst on a phone I have had in my opinion I use it alot at work to take pictures of unit serial numbers etc it takes ages for the picture to stop fuzzing/hazing/blurring. It is really crap. And the lags on this phone I get them aswell trying to unlock sometimes is so slow. And data signal keeps playing up. Going back to stock today though.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] BillTheCat:
I suspect your difficulty with haze and glare began right around the time you started using the phone without a case. You'd be hard pressed to prove that a sapphire lens cover accumulates grime/prints more than a traditional glass cover, but I won't stop you from believing what you will. :cyclops:

Anyway, I was just last month going through what you're doing now. I decided to wait until the 11 was released and what I saw didn't impress me enough to spend $300 more than the cost of a 10. However, I'm now on the other end of the buying cycle. US carriers (AT&T / Verizon, at least) are no longer subsidizing phones, so there's no incentive to jump on a new one as soon as the contract expires. My new strategy is to wait a year (at least) for a phone to be on the market at which point it tends to sell for roughly half the MSRP of when it was released, most of the bugs are worked out, and dev support has ramped up.

In any event, I agree that the new 11 is a nice phone, but IMO, wait it out to see what happens with both the development community... and pricing... for at least six months, then look at the 1+5 to see where your'e at.

Just my two cents, of course.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

I'm not seeing the same issues you're having. There were camera issues but new firmware has fixed the problems. As to battery life, we've seen reports that Nougat is a problem compared to MM, so that might explain it. Why not flash the last HTC RUU of NA MM to get the last known firmware, and have a try with MaximusHD. Be sure to include the battery mod when flashing. You also might install something like Greenify to help sleep apps when they're not in focus.

HTH.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Luc.Nex:
Oneplus has the largest developers community (close to the nexus/pixel level)..right now im torn between the op3t and htc 10...and the op3t is tempting by the amount of roms..htc 10 is tempting due to the sound and camera and higher res screen.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Nah mate you're not alone, it exists on all devices, i've seen upwards of around 100 HTC 10 devices from different parts of the country and from within work and then ones i've seen all have the same problems with users saying that the battery life is in line with ours, you can certainly squeeze more out of it by being a little more careful about what you have installed, whats turned on, what clock speeds you use and what you use your phone for, but beyond that, no they're very much the same device. :)

I personally can't say i've seen so much lag, in comparison to AOSP and CM based roms it's certainly not as fluid but it's not a dealbreaker for me and compared to the likes of sammy and LG it's miles ahead, only the 1+ series and pixels would be smoother, but again not by much.

The camera getting smears on it has just been a pain, 9 times out of 10 it has a smear or grease, i thought it was just me but again a lot of the end users i've seen have said the same thing, so it's really not just me or you for that matter.

I've usually got a glasses cleaner on me so i tend to use that or a t-shirt, I just can't remember doing this in the past, maybe I didn't pay too much attention, but since the m9 it certainly has become more apparent, perhaps it's the resolution but the Z1 has a 20mp camera and i didn't notice it on that?

Dunno :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
That is bloody good to know, thanks man :) another notch for the one plus :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
