Database Develop

Droid and Cyanogen (mods in general)

The droid is coming out soon, and since my att contract is up ( and I just took my G1 into the ocean with me), I think I may hold out for the droid, looks like hte first Google Phone I can be proud of (though the g1 will always hold a special place).
Do we know if standard roms will work on the droid after we get past root?
Thanks

Better find another forum if you do cuz XDA is HTC devices only and people have tried HARD to sway Flar into opening other sub-forums for non-HTC devices and he wouldn't do it.

Thanks for the info, honestly I was here for the G1, and just assumed they were here for all dev on cell phones.
If anyone does know the info I would appreciate it

Though if its "only" htc, why is there a palm and a sony phone on the list?

put it this way, you can ask, but you probably will not receive. i saw a thread where some one was asking about a section for the cliq and the answer was "no, this site is for htc devices."

Let's keep hoping for an HTC powerhouse on GSM that surpasses the Dream soon,
before my back and home buttons fall off.
Hands on with the Cliq the one thing I liked was the D-Pad on the left thumb - which'd make gaming a lot better -
but really missed the trackball I've come to love.

They are manufactured by HTC

Anyone getting the One

Anyone going to switch from the vivid to the One? idk how i feel about htc after this phone, i mean its a great phone and all but htc bent us over and showed us the 50 states. thank god for the devs. But the phone looks awesome and its sleek as hell too.

I will be ordering one as soon as its available. 1080p display, 2gb ram, infrared behind the power button (I've missed that sooo much in my smart phones since my Treo).. I'm excited lol

Wait about 2 months and HTC will probably come out with another revolutionary phone
What happened to the Droid DNA? The DNA has only been out for 3 months and HTC is already forgetting it.

I believe the answer is somewhere in the neighborhood of "When donkeys and pigs gain aerodynamic and sustained aerial motion" or the successful cloning of a flying Pigasus, whichever happens first... I'm tired of the 1 software upgrade and we're through with you mentality, the fact that you had to do a physical hardware short circuit to S-off and the point that the HTC One contains no easily changed battery, no place to put a microSD card...no, no..(clickty clacky keyboard noises) Computer says NO-o-o-o-o!

The DNA was released for Verizon only. All other major us carriers are getting the one, except verizon. HTC has already announced that 'the one' will be the only one series device in 2013. I understand everyone's setbacks. But I'm not passing up on a hardware beauty like this one. Not to mention it looks like every major dev team is planning on getting at least one. Check out the thread in the one general section to see who all is on board. Also everyone's favorite dev will have one too lol @jon

I agree the specs and looks of the phone makes me drool.they are not releasing the one for Verizon cause of the dna
So I guess they haven't completely forgotten about their customers haha. But I do want the phone real bad. Also I'm curious to see since its the only flag ship they are releasing how often they keep it updated .

Despite the incredibly large amount of times HTC pisses me off, I still plan on getting the HTC One as soon as I can afford it. I like the Vivid but The One looks like a phone I am actually willing to buy at the non-contract price

Wait.. this doesn't mean you will stop developing for the vivid, right?

The one actually is appealing though. And HTC is actually doing a good job marketing, unlike the vivid lol

Nope...I'm going back to Samsung...gonna get me the sgs4 as soon as its released...I mean...its gonna blow everything out of the water and every dev team will have one guaranteed...not to mention how easy it is to root and flash rims on Samsung devices...no locked bootloader to deal with...no s off to deal with
I gave HTC a shot and I'm done with them :/ I hate having to unlock the bootloader...and s off - that's just stupid...they honestly make it so hard to customize your phone...heck it be easier to jailbreak an iPhone than get an HTC phone setup for Rom flashing, then you got the crappy source...and extra security measures...(in-call Mic issues for att users) - who's to say they won't do the same on the one....if the s off process is anything like the vivids...well good luck with that as I'm pretty sure the one doesn't have a removable battery /end rant
I guess you could call me a Samsung fan boy

I won't pay retail for it but when my upgrade comes I'll get it.

My gf has one, and she loves it. I couldn't get it, though, because it doesn't have SD card expansion. I love my SD card way too much, so I got the Vivid instead. Couldn't be happier.

My one X is s-off a new method recently came out to do it, and it's nothing like the Vivid was cause I owned that to, never bothered to try s-off due to the stupid method.
HTC is doing a stupid move by removing microSD slots from their newer phones. We aren't babies, I'm tired of HTC treating us only a few years older then Apple does their users.
With all that being said, I'm not wasting hundreds and hundreds on a device that can't even include the basics like access to the battery and a MicroSD slot. This is day one **** HTC. I WON'T be getting a one, actually selling my HTC one X right now to switch brands. Sad sad thing.

And no, I won't be getting the One. Nothing could ever convince me to buy another HTC product. I'll probably end up with a Galaxy S4.

are sim and bootloader unlocked the only differences? still no removable battery or sd :S
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using xda app-developers app

Yea im pretty sure that the only difference, but the only issue i see is the non remove able batter, which for me isnt even an issue, i have insurance on all my phones ( just cause i know something goes wrong and i always get them switched out ..always on my 3rd vivid right now) So if the battery starts ****ing up new phone for me XD yeaaaa hahah

I'll get it the day it comes out:laugh:

90% Yes. Still debating getting the SGS4 or the possible Motorola NXT.

Tapatalk sucks recently...looks like HTC is trying to stop source builds...check out h8s post in the cm10 thread

Going from Silver HTC One to Galaxy S4 and back to Black HTC One

I contemplated not writing this. In tech sometimes we require so much perfection, we forget what's actually important to us. Furthermore we forget that any software issue can be conquered by the great devs here at XDA. With the fear of sounding hypocritical, here's why I found myself going back to the HTC One after a short two week affair with the S4.
I had very real issues with my silver HTC One. The S4 was the answer to those issues. After a couple weeks with the S4 I really missed one thing about the HTC One - the camera. I have 2 babies and after missing several pictures of them over the past couple weeks I became very frustrated with the slow launch and slow picture taking of the S4. I was enjoying all the other features but this was beginning to stick in my crawl. So I really researched the issues I was having with the HTC One. I found out that the brightness quick toggle was solved through Viper Rom and menu button was easily mapped to a short hold of the back button.
Now I had a problem because I was torn between going back to the HTC one (most of which for me all had build issues) or staying with the S4 and waiting for developement to speed up camera and some of the overall lag I was experiencing. So I went out to Best Buy and decided to check out a black HTC One. I don't know if it's simply because the manufacturing was updated or refined but it was perfect. Zero gaps, seemless bezel and no dead or stuck pixels. Having only one trade left at best buy I made the leap and swapped back to the HTC One. I think this was a great decision. Again a big factor was the camera, being able to post edit my shots - remove people from the background and make a drama shot without having to put it in that mode before shooting the picture is really fast and convenient. I in one day caught 3 great pictures that I would have needed to adjust settings on BEFORE taking with the S4. Pictures I think I would have missed with the S4. Also I didn't realize how different (brighter and somewhat crisper) the HTC One screen was. There will of course be sacrifices with the HTC One, no swappable battery, awkward placement of power button and no multi-window. But, the tradeoff is one I'm ok with. Black HTC One made the difference for me.

No offense, but wall of text is extremely hard to read.
Welcome back, I think?

Thanks, I broke it up a little. I honestly am glad to be back. I had some issues with the HTC one and panicked a little but with this new one I'm definitely enjoying HTC and especially glad to have ZOE back. It's really a standout feature.

...and why is that?
I am about to end my remorse period and am 50-50 on the phone. Love it but gets too hot and eats too much battery sometimes (I'm a light user). I like it but I also got a SGS4 for my friend and I keep staring at it...
So, why panic mode? Thinking of returning... or?

Glad I can help. This has been a hard decision for me but I'm glad to finally settle with the HTC One and think I've made the best decision for me.
In my opinion, figure out a way to swap for the black. I don't know if it's because of a refined manufacturing process, Better materials or what - but the difference between the two colors is night and day. No misfires pushing the back or home buttons and no gaps anywhere. I'll post pics when I get home. If you bought from sprint and go in to change color they'll charge a restocking fee. I would recommend pointing out a flaw with the silver (I'm sure you probably have one) and ask to change to a black one as you have heard reports of better assembly and less issues. If you bought from Best Buy or the like you can swap without fee's. That's why I almost exclusively by phones from Best Buy now.

I agree, Best Buy was the way to go for me. Ended up getting data error 104 all the time on my first one.....exchanged the phone 6 times per sprint techs requests before I figured out they had my SIM ID incorrect on my account. The One (silver) I have is absolutely perfect now.

If I got my HTC one online, can I exchange at best buy?

I spent less then a week with the S4 before I gave in to my overwhelming felling of missing an HTC device. I liked some of the features but the phone just felt cheap and the Sprint service in my area doesn't seem to play well with Samsung Phones. Lots of dropped calls and frequent signal fluctuations. Love the ONE very happy I made the switch...

about to return my HTC one

I have a gap on the top of my phone and the power button is as "clicky" as I want it? Think ill have a problem with the return? I purchased the phone 2 days ago

Have you done your return?

Remember to mention "zero gap" as much as possible lol. that is a major selling point/feature for the phone.

Just returned my 1 day old Silver 64GB model back to Harvey Norman, had a short talk with the manager when he produced his 64gbH1 and showed me the similar gap (not as gapped as the one I purchased) at the top saying it was normal and didn't worry him. I gently argued and showed him my flawless black 32gb version he then asked me to show my receipt and just as he asked my device shot out of his hands and slapped the ground hard.
Amazingly not a scratch and the device was actually thrown a meter or two caused by he and sales assistant trying in vein to catch it, hehe I felt bad for 1 seconds then realised they are definitely issuing a refund now(however, he said regardless he would issue the refund).
The capacitive buttons were hit and miss and gap at the top was definitely going to inherit foreign matter(screen and speaker grill alignment was flawless as was volume rocker and power button), excellent customer service all round, also Harvey Norman have the 64gb model for only $785 for a limited time.

I honestly don't think you should return it... This is the kind of stuff that hurts HTC. The phone is not defective or broken. It has a small gap that does not affect you in any way.
The power button was never clicky for 4 HTC Ones that I have in my family... And even if that's messed up, it doesn't affect any of us... This is kind of unethical if you ask me.

He should return it! One of HTC's selling point is the "zero gap" technology. Having a gap is bad manufacturing. And if his paying money for it he should return it. HTC shouldn't make such claims if they can't produce it. I love HTC and always been a supporter of them but I can't support bad workmanship.

A mate of mine returned his 64GB from HN and the manager said the gap is normal too. We then pointed out that their display model had no gaps. The manager gave him a refund after that.

Power button is mushy

I am most likely just going to take my phone back to the store soon since I've had it for less than two weeks. I want to see if anyone else has this issue though. My power button is really mooshy. There is basically no tactile feedback when you push it. It hardly feels like I've pushed the button when it activates. Anyone else? Should the button have any sort of click to it?

Same here. 3rd replacement and this is the worst power button out of all of them and i shouldn't have to use s2w or dt2w

Don't have that problem. It clicks.

Mushy sounds yummy. It's a good thing (i just had cake)
Lol no it's not good. Buttons flick because of a small piece of .. man hard to explain, it's like a small bump that goes up and down.. and makes noises?
I'm out of ways to explain this haha but basically, they bump is what creates contact between the button and the input or system. Mushy means it's broken and the button may not work later in my experience.
Hope some of that made sense
