If you rate something from 1 (worst) to 10 (best), and if you let the "raters" speak up, you will hear only from the people rating at 9 and 10 (most happy ones), but on the other end - from 1 to 5 (from most angry ones to the ones having even tiny issues).

That's why you hear a lot of complaining and almost none cheering.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
I would rate TP with 8 at least.

If the GPS lag would not exist even 9. Of course the support from HTC is crappy but at least they have an open platform and so almost everything can be changed by the developers in this community. That's what I love about it and that's why I have the seventh HTC device in a row. Some of my colleagues are using Nokia, iPhones etc. and they are happy with it although there are of course also things that could be better. BUT they have to wait for Nokia or Apple to change it if they ever will. They don't have the possibility to change it themselves. As for the hardware: Nokia f.e. is definitely not better. On the E90 for example the keyboard leaves ugly marks on the screen and a colleague reported spontaneous reboots twice a week. The N95 has a wobbly keyboard and so on and so on. So if anyone thinks other vendors are much better than go ahead and buy their phones. But please stop whining.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VaThInK:
I think your comment is conflicting with each other there.

In regards to the poll, I did a quick search and found one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=424568

As you can see, most people (66%+ at the time I write this) rate TP as near perfect, while very few people (~5% of them) are disappointed or frustrated with it. The poll is by no means accurate or complete but it gives us a better picture at the very least. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Flippy_TK:
The TP has got a lot of potential.

Pitty that the after sale service is absolute c***
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] melcul:
66%+ its because xda-developers.com and the guys behinde custom roms and hack's

the phone its expensiv and full of bugs otherwise
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VaThInK:
Why are you so sure about this? Do you own one? if you do and having serious issues with it then read my previous post. I own a TP and I haven't flash any custom ROMs or put hacks into it because I'm not experiencing any major software bugs and I don't really feel the need for any. Well maybe some registry tweaks but that's about it, which is considered hidden settings and not bugs. Be thankful as you can't do this on many phones. A lot of the custom ROMs and hacks are for UI customisations anyway rather than addressing the minor glitches. I'm not saying that TP is perfect, but towards to the rest of the competitors, it is sitting up right there at the top.

When you say expensive it's relative. So are you saying that iPhone is cheap? It doesn't even have Bluetooth, no copy paste, no MMS, etc just to name a few plus all the bugs it also comes with. Not to mention it's not using open standard so you're stuck with it. Can you flash custom ROM and apply hacks or hidden settings on this? I never own an iPhone so I can't really comment on further.

Just to add, when N95 first came out, it cost about the same as TP and I'm pretty sure the price tag still applies to N96. Do you think these N series comparable to TP? I reckon not by a long shot. To make things worse, as I mentioned in my previous post, my N95 have this "feature" of random restarts whenever it feels like it . Nokia did release updates but did they manage to fix my issue? They kinda did. My N95 is doing it less often now but then the issue is still there. Would you prefer to have random restarts over GPS lag on your TP? TP is a PDA not a PNA anyway. I'm pretty sure when they fix GPS lag on TP, some people will start whining why the camera is not as good as a DSLR camera and so on.

Just enjoy what you've got people, otherwise you will enjoy nothing in life. ;)

sorry but i want more

major bugs a had until i flashe my tp / apaly paches

1: broken glass (~600 EURO???? for a frezing device???)

2: vrey slow tf3d

3: gps lag (horible)

.........................

ansering phone in pcket (relay hate this one)

.........................

.........................

when i buy something i'm expecting to work out of the box in a business enviroment (at this price)

we can argue about this but the fact is that htc create expensiv devices with major constructions flows in hardware or software. to satisfy you also apple, samsung, and nokia do the same :D but they don't have xda :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VaThInK:
The first two issues that you're having is pretty serious mate. Return it where you bought it from and ask for replacement or repair. I think you might be getting a dud TP there. I'm only experiencing GPS lag but then again as I said it's not that major and mostly I only use the navigation software to look for direction and not for navigation purposes. Definitely do something about it. Best of luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
1. Wow. That's horrible. Exchange it. Warranty.

2. Flash new rom. Install cabs, tweaks, etc.

3. That can be fixed. There is a thread on that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] melcul:
my english was very bad :o

all the problems described were resolved (flashed a new rom, install software ...)

"broken glass" is an issue of TP wen the phoe freze and the screen locks like a broken glass (soft reset an it.s ok)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aquasesh:
I partially agree with all the negative points here. Mostly because I recently bought a second TP for my girlfriend and after teaching her how to use it, i could see how frustrating it can be for beginners.

However, i never trust a device that runs perfect after the first boot.

Lucky for me, there is no such thing. As most of you, I had my share of

HTC devices and i cannot count how many times I changed the roms or

opened the damn things for soldering, but I love every bit of it.

Maybe we are idiots for buying buggy devices for big bang, knowing there

might be problems. But so far I have enjoyed all my devices very much.

Not only HTC, also my pcs, cars, anything...if anything, at least I could learn so much since my first wallaby and I found many new friends here

in this forum.

I was just wondering how i could add women to the arguement, since we all go nuts about them, knowing they will cost money and make trouble...

;) (just kidding folks)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
LOL :D

Something like:

HTC devices are like women: You can not live with them but you also can't live without them either. :p

ps: If women read this please don't flame me - just kidding! ;)

Typical case of transference - How about changing the above to: Honestly,

(comparatively speaking) HTC Diamond/Touch Pro owners said that this was their last HTC device!

How long have you complainers been buying high-end phones? EVERY phone in the high-end category is released ASAP because the rest of us who do not whine & complain FAR outnumber those of you who do - and we are the ones who create the demand that those same phones be released ASAP -

with

the friggin bugs which are fixed by the community or with updates from the MFR or Provider.

GROW UP whiners or buy the one-year old phones. You can't tug on Superman's cape...

DSF: modify your comment to: "a few of the users" this forum is made up of mostly problem solvers - not complainers. If you don't own the device why-in-hell are you wasting your and everyone else's time yakking and nattering about problems *you* don't need solved.

Shut the hell up and go to whatever Forum of phone you do own!

I'm sick of seeing your posts... Did your mother not... no I won't go there - but get your attention elsewhere.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jbrephan:
And where's your data for this preponderance? Your opinion's importance is rapidly dropping to dangerous levels... but I think I get it, even negative attention is better than none at all.

Mods, please close this thread. I think there is nothing left to come except for personal insults. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DSF:
jbrephan that's all what you can? Instead of insulting why don't you try to understand what's written between lines?

My next device probabily will be touch pro. When I read issues here and there it's normally to be upset. I've expected a lot from this device because it's the most suitable for me. HTC is mature, they should do more tests before realizing and improve existing components (tech is evolving, products tends to be better/more reliable).

Just read the topics, there are users that have multiple issues and others that doesn't. What this means? This means that there is a defective lot of touch pro.

+ the htc costumer service sucks, stupid replies (in most cases), etc. Please, don't come and say now "vendor x service is better?". If x, y, z companies are awful this doesn't means that we must be pleased because the rest are the same. Read this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=436304 .

Yeah, i know those people have nothin to do with the tech ppl from htc BUT it's not admissible.

And if my posts make you sick.. just ignore them!

** we must spread someway this / if you don't talk about an issue nobody will know about it and nobody will try to fix it. **
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] graham.hughes:
Is this thread still running? Good grief.

DSF: HTC couldn't care less what you think. The phone sells, the phone doesn't sell, that's all that matters to them. Right now, it sells. And you're going to buy one.

The original poster was correct, HTC are no idiots. They're making money. They know that if they test the phone for another three months, they'll deliver later, and at a higher cost, and Samsung and LG will be rubbing their hands with profit-making glee.

But when he said "we", he wasn't including me. Nor, I suspect, the majority of people here. I have a product with which I'm very happy.

What would be idiotic, is to think something is crap, and then buy it anyway...

If you seriously want to influence the behaviour of a commercial organization, shut your gob and open your wallet. Vote with your money.

I second the motion to close this thread!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] euphoria47:
I for one am very happy with my touch pro. While there r a fair few bugs / glitches with the firmware I don't think these problems (through my eyes) take away from the experience that much.

Constructive criticizm for HTC would be to put some ppl from this board on payroll to make some solid ROM updates and fixes on the HTC website. I would really love for there to be more support on HTC's end with firmware, etc. Ultimately though, having the support we do here, I do not feel like most of these issues are going to be permanant problems....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VaThInK:
I think people that have major issues with their TP are either their TP is faulty, or their standard is way too high. Such as expecting TP to be as fast as Core 2 Duo laptops. I know, the above example is exaggerated too much. :p Anyway, if your TP is faulty, do something about it instead of complaining in here. I just can't stress this enough. Be constructive please with the comments. ;)

I'm sorry I have to chime in for this one. Windows works fine as long as it's windows and not windows that your dumbass paid over 1 grand for to have a brand name like HP, Compaque(SP?), Toshiba, Dell! These companies load thier own **** onto windows and make it bog down and laggy. Anyway. I do agree with the complaint on HTC. With my Nokia's(owned one since the HTC Fuze) I never had any problems and it did what I wanted it to without an mods needing to be done. Also not to mention the never leave you with a dead battery(allways 3 day battery life even on the net and playing music[RIP E62]). I just keep trucking along for now. I will deal with the problems of the phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] CodeRR:
Hi together,

yesterday, suddenly, my OP8Pro stopped connecting to any WiFi Access Point AT ALL.

I tried it at home, at work, everywhere. I can still make a WiFi HotSpot without any problems, but cannot connect or save a AP in the setting. I see every AP without problems, but when i click on them, I'll get an error message.

I tried everything expect the factory reset. I cleared all network settings, all app setting, wiped the cache and so on. Even flashed the whole Beta 11 Image again.

Can somebody please give me an advice? I want to avoid the factory reset, because I want to wait for the EU-Rollback Update to only configure my device once again.

Thank you for your help

probably when it receives a notification.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pokevitek:
Hi, how fast is Diamond photo-preview? I read that in dark areas is photo preview much much laggy, almost unusable. My brothers PDA Asus P535 (2Mpx) has very very good speed at preview, but w/o any image operation - I mean, that image was dark, you can not even see what you are photographing, but finally phoography was OK. I heard saw that Diamond has very laggy preview, but it is changing photo contrast and light in preview. Is this true?

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
I'm very happy of my Pixel 4 XL Panda model.

Very decent phone and a nice upgrade compared to my old and reliable Pixel 2 XL.

Currently, It is in the offical fabric case from Google but since few days I'm looking for a more decent protective case.

Few options are in my mind but the main one is from Mous with the Limitless 3.0 (wood one).

I can buy it at 15 euros (with 60% off) but I'm still hesitating. There is few feedback but opinions are mixed.

What do you think about that ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] #mcl:
Hey, I am using a Pixel 4 XL but I rather prefer using a transparent silicone case, so I can see the beauty of the phone, and happy with the protection it brings to the device. However as it is going to get a yellow tint in a few months next case is going to be one from Google, which currently are cheaper than what they used to cost. Hope this helps you!
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Hi everyone,

I flashed the stock ROM today from bootloader and after that I restored both the persist and efs partition on my device but still the imei and baseband versions are missing, please help me solve this...
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Turns out that after flashing your stock ROM you should first boot to twrp from bootloader (do not flash twrp) and restore the backup of your EFS and persist partitions, after that boot to system, there you will find that your imei and baseband are missing, then connect to a WiFi network and start installing all ota updates that pop up till your device is up to date, after installing the last ota update and booting the imei and baseband will be visible...

You might not get any signal after doing so, I don't know how to fix it, I will post a fix for that here after I find one...

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] stonebriar:
For the life of me I can't figure out why I don't receive any notifications while I am not on wifi. This has been going on for a year now but only recently have I been watching my email awaiting something important. When I get home and connect to wifi I am barraged by notifications from email apps, linkedin, etc.

-There is no battery saver or adaptive battery mode on.

-My email apps are not being battery optimized.

-Do not disturb is off.

-I am rooted but have no Lxposed modules installed.

-For Magisk I only have Google pay related modules installed, besides the obvious Riru core etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Lughnasadh:
One thing to try is to disable webserver in Adaway if you have it enabled and see if that helps.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] stonebriar:
The issues has to be from the default AdAway host lost. I used the DNS log, sent an email between two of my accounts and allowed a small list of connections. So I guess the official host list was blocking too much??

@stonebriar

You can try deleting existing apn xml and swapping it with my apn xml I've attached to this post. Sometimes in custom roms the apn xmls get messed up and result is no data or bad connection...

Are you using a custom rom? If so and you are on Android 11 custom rom grab your favorite root file manager app and give it root permission. Navigate to /product/etc/ and /system/product/etc/ and delete your current apns-conf.xml file in those two locations. Now in your /system/product/etc/ copy then paste the file I'm linking here in to that directory, where the one was you already deleted was... Now long press it and select permissions and make permissions on the apns-conf.xml set to 0644. After that navigate to phone settings/network and internet/mobile network/ scroll to last selection which is "access point names." Select it and sleepy little 3 dot menu thingy in top left of screen, select "reset to default." Now give it about 60 seconds and you'll know if this was an apn issue because your data/LTE will show up in your status bar. When it does reboot system and you are good to go. This cannot in any way harm your device. It will either work if it's an apn issue or if it's not an apn issue it won't work. I hope it helps someone.

Credit for this goes to spaceminer here on XDA. I came across his post explaining this year's ago and have used it many times on many devices and it's worked every time! And of course credit goes to XDA for being XDA and letting us have a spot to read and learn new things! 💯

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nexusnerdgeek:
I've a VoLTE/VoWiFi activated Telstra/Boost SIM that's confirmed to work fine with both stock-standard Moto G 5G Plus & iPhone 11 Pro Max, delivering those features in Australia.

Rog Phones in general & Rog phone 5 in particular are known to lack VoLTE/VoWiFi features with all of the Australian carriers. ASUS Zentalk forum has a few threads about it. (Of course, I too escalated it there for any official help, but none will be forthcoming anytime soon, from what I understand :)). I'm genuinely in need of VoLTE at work due to terrible 3G but decent 4G there; and at home in need of VoWiFi due to terrible 3G but excellent WiFi backed by snappy fibre Internet connection.

My phone is an ASUS_I005DA model with build number WW_18.0840.2106.86. Neither "4G Calling" nor "Wi-Fi calling" settings are visible by default, but upon dialling "*#*#3642623344#*#*", those options become available. Though those features can be activated/toggled (and they stick around till the next reboot), they actually don't really make those features work (i.e., phone still drops down to 3G when making phone calls; similarly, calls simply don't go through WiFi, as is proven in airplane mode with WiFi on). This I understand is due to lack of .mbn files for the modem to support Australian carriers in general, Telstra in particular. (I gather that with previous Rog phone models, by injecting .mbn file(s) into the modem image, folks were able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working in Australia.) I'm essentially looking for precise/tested/proven steps to accomplish just that but on Rog Phone 5.

This is where I've had it both boot loader unlocked & the system rooted with Magisk, in preparation for undertaking any and all such steps.

Has anybody been able to successfully access modem (i.e., Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 modem on Snapdragon 888 SoC found on this phone) from Windows or Linux systems for this sort of work? If yes, especially for Windows, what drivers did you use? (name, version info & where to download them from would greatly help) What additional software did you use on the Windows computer end (such as QPST) & on the phone end (such as QCOMDiagMode.apk & what version & from where was it sourced please?) etc. would be of great help.

A dumb question: Would it be at all possible to flash modem with updated image (incorporating the necessary .mbn file(s)) from within Android itself? Or Android itself doesn't have ADB to help with such tasks?? Just curious as I'm fine to work off either Windows or Linux end.

Thanks in advance for any useful guidance & direction. 🙏
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The most likely answer would be to find how they made or picked the files with the 3 and try to make or find parallel 5 versions. The files should be compatible with fastboot (mbn is one of the extensions they use for firmware images).

[Guide] Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi v2

Preface With this guide I can officially deprecate the other guide I wrote, as we will no longer have to hack together a solution by loading profiles for other carriers. Meaning, that this should just work provided an mbn exists for your carrier...

xdaforums.com

It's also going to be an extremely experimental process, so the only tested and proven way will be to let someone else do it first. Hopefully you can find someone else in Australia with the same issue that is willing to put their device up for testing.
