HTC Vivid to HTC Vivid/Raider/Holiday

Can the fourm name be changed to include all the 3 variations
VIVID/RAIDER/HOLIDAY.
Not every one knows VIVID is same as Raider.

I'd say if anything, rename it Holiday
Anyone who would be here should know the Raider and Vivid are the Holiday

Don't they all have different firmware / radios? If that's the case then this should stay the Vivid forum and the Holiday and Raider should have their own forumns (just like their were an Inspire and a Desire forum).
Kernel Version for the Vivid:
2.6.35.13-gc1166ee

Baseband Version for the Vivid:
1.11.1020.03_30.77.551061.02L
Can someone confirm the Holiday and Raider have the same radios and firmware? Also please correct me if I wrong.

I am assuming here that the Raider does have different Radios as it is a Canadian Device. The Holiday is just the Code Name that HTC named this device and as far as I know has no bearing on either unless it was Named the Holiday in the foreign market over seas.

Per HTC, Vivid is the Holiday:

Dear Mike,
I understand you would like more information about your device. I know how important it is for you to receive correct information about your device and I will be happy to assist you.
When you go to HTCsense.com, the HTC Vivid (also known as the HTC Holiday) is not listed with the supported devices. Therefore, the device does not support HTCsense.com. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Sincerely,
Kathleen

Did that person mean HTCdev because I have already set up my HTCSense on this phone.

I was here: https://www.htcsense.com/en_US/#account/create to register and did not see the "Vivid" listed in the "select your device" section, so I emailed HTC to ask about registering on HTCSense.com.
What device did you select?

Weren't the inspire & desire actually different devices, though? I had a Hero a while back, and there were a bunch of worldwide variants, but they were all still Hero's, with the exception of the Droid Eris. It actually had a different code name and was a different device, even though it was basically a variant of the Hero. Therefore, the Droid Eris was the only one to have its own forum. Seems to me that at least the Canadian and American version are the same phone, and sounds like the Korean version is also a Holiday, so the same phone, too.

I agree. Back in the old days on these forums it seemed as if all sections were listed by the "code" name and maybe separated within by gsm/cdma

I just registered the device straight from the phone itself and it worked fine.

[Q] Why HTC LOVE not to upgrade the previous HTC Devices even though they are able?

[Q] Why HTC LOVE not to upgrade the previous HTC Devices even though they are able to support the software??

Because they can sell new phones.
Have patience.

htc is actually one of the better companies when it comes to upgrades on older phones. I hear sony or motorola customers get no love.

I guess being better doesn't translate to being good at updating previous models. It's all about making a sale.

Cause if every single HTC device have right of upgrade, what's the point of new devices from HTC ? This forces people to buy new products. Hope you understant

like i said, it's all about the sale

They sell a device, support a few updates for a while, perhaps after that one or two updates spread out, then they do focus on the sale of newer devices almost exclusively.
HTC is better than some companies, and at least they have made lots of hardware that can support better software, because we can enjoy the great work of independent developers like those on xda to give us lots of options. We don't have to rely on HTC that way!
Go open source!

I will be happy if HTC just gives out drivers to stop the camera lag in AOSP ROMs, that's all I ask

I found that app in sensation forum...it is force closing on all the roms except virtuos unity one. It won't even run on the IS official sense 3.0 update.
Anyone knows how we can port it???

You should be happy, as HTC is actually releasing updates...go to Huawei or Motorola...the phone sells and dies with the same Rom. You'll find all sorts of unofficial Roms, but not from the manufacturers.
So, HTC is doing quite all-right, not as good as Google (from obvious reasons) but not as bad as Huawei or Motorola.

OK. once again regarding this app, does anyone have any idea how to port it?
i have the sensation qhd .apk of this app.
any one willing to resize this app for wvga?

Can you do anything for AOSP? Who knows

The same message as left on the rootzwiki AOSP thread:
HTC isn't going to be able to help if they don't know the problem (and don't assume that they do).
Everyone interested in helping who can't develop would benefit from contacting HTC on their website's contact form (which I can't link to xD) and let them know our position and why we want AOSP.
It is really easy and quick to do, and you have no reason not to if you want the current hurdles overcome.

Copy pasting and editing my response from over there:
They won't give us the info we need. Honestly no reason to do this. Hate to be a downer especially since I was on my second vivid I only got because of this project and had high hopes we could overcome what HTC did to lock this device down re: radio firmware and security checks(bit of a debate right now over the definition of a security check). Really only recommendation I can give is to not buy HTC (might as well be Motorola) in the future.
Edit: this is akin to fuses or hyuh asking them to detail the wire trick.

It's not so much HTC but google as well. Google source bank doesn't support LTE. I love HTC its just the lte modem that's a pain for development. Mainly why I bought an international non LTE one x. Asop is working great on it.

CAF has LTE support and AOSP is only meant to build for their devices. All LTE devices I have but Holiday have aosp fully functional. The issue are security checks put in by HTC on this device.
Edit: jewel has same checks as well as some other HTC 8960 devices, but they have alsa source so it's moot.

I agree with what you're saying, and things only look worse for the future. Samsung is the next greatest thing, but the Verizon GSIII got locked down (yes, it's been cracked already, but still). It'd be ignorant to think Samsung wouldn't start to lock down on other carriers. Where do we go? LG?

[Q] HTC One vs. Google S4

Now that Google has announced they will be selling a GSM Samsung S4 through the android market starting in June, what are your thoughts on which to get?
I purchased my HTC T-Mobile version last week. Took a while to adjust to Sense, and actually have 'desensed' it a bit by using Nova Launcher instead. It's a pretty phone, but I do miss some of the stock Android features of my GNex. Actually, it may be that since the GNex has had quite a bit of development, there are some nice tricks I can use with it that haven't been developed for the HTC One yet (i.e. PGM swipe to wake).

someone said it one of the threads(not sure which one) that he knows someone at htc and the will be releasing a pure aosp rom for the htc one like samsung is doing

Sadly, its not true based on this source
Update: Jeff Gordon of HTC just sent us the following message, “HTC is not currently planning a ‘Nexus Edition’ of the HTC One.”
http://androidandme.com/2013/05/news/htc-employee-teases-stock-android-htc-one/
I was really hoping that HTC would partner with Google so we could get pure android with actually time updates and this is the thread, page 60 that has the topic ".CyanogenMod Night lies"

companys always deny rumors in public statements until they are ready to release. not saying that i believe the guy and his source at htc but i definitely dont believe public statements release by a company rep

CRICKET htc Desire C

For those who have plunged straight in and flashed BOOT/ROM/RECOVERY and are suffering with a non-usable unit please follow the external link which took all of 1... yes ... 1 google search and lead me to this for the Desire C Cricket
Please stop flashing the first thing that says your phones name on it, there's more under the cover of a phone than there is in a name (like 8 version numbers of a Galaxy S3 i've seen!!)

6k views....
No more Questions on "my Cricket is stuck?!?!"....
Thanks button.....you're priceless!
1 would have done just for me doing the search for you!
*Today's irritation is now at an end, normal service is something reserved for those who require it, brought to you today by Grnnnghhhppphhhhfffff!*
Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
