My signal is stronger than ever compared to HoX.

HoX is plastic... Full aluminum of course. But you can go and read the reviews where they tested phone signals and the dba ratings compared to HoX are the same or slightly better.

That's why I said, the plastic on the HTC One helps with the signal, so what are you complaining about? That was my whole point in saying that the plastic strips on the phone really helps with the signal, cos a full metal body will probably radiate signal heat on itself. Signal has been way more consistent on my HO compared to my HoX, Sensation XE, Desire Z and XpressMusic 5800.

Your original quote said signal was unstable, and then you also said signal was not strong. It may just be your unit cos every other unit being reviewed and all the users on this forum have not said anything about weaker signals. In fact, almost everyone was surprised how good the signal is considering it is made of aluminum, and HTC themselves have said the plastic strips were there to help with signal.

You notice it through the signal bar or through dba ratings?

I give up waiting d, flashing ARHD for 2.24 base. Hopefully Viper rebases their ROM soon

I'll always use the best gaming kernel, and atm it's ElementalX. Battery life, probably stock still pretty awesome. Bulletproof looks like a good modification of stock kernel.

I'm only on ARHD cos Viper hasn't been updated to official OTA release base yet

What was your build number before this update? According to XDA, before 4.2.2, there's a small update, restart phone then you will get the 400+MB update.

Viper, not Venom

So 2013 flagship should be prioritised for 2012 flagship? Both are flagships, both are coming at around the same time, what's the problem then? I rather HTC take extra time to make everything good rather than go the Samsung rute and just hantam all their messy code into their ROM.

It's still a very decent phone, and it was released last year. What's wrong with releasing the updated software for their other phones first? It doesn't affect you at all, and they are coming out at roughly the same time.

So what would be best for you? Since you look like you want only the latest phones to get the update. HTC is a small company compared to Samsung and Apple, they have limited programming resources. If you want to focus on releasing 4.2.2 for HTC One, then when are the One X, One X+ and Butterfly going to get updated? 4.3 is being tested now, so their programming team will be focused there. So 4.3 for HTC One, and don't have time to update their previous devices.

You have to do it in stages, or break the work apart so that updates might seem like they are late, but it's coming for multiple devices at a time. It's only been a few weeks delayed. Up till now Samsung's 4.2.2 ROM is still buggy as hell despite releasing the same time as HTC.

Hmm? One X confirm getting 4.2.2 and Sense 5. And HTC said Sense 5 exclusives like Zoe will be exclusive for HTC One, NOT Android features! HTC are VERY good with their firmware updates. See how much difference HTC One X went from ICS to JB. S3 become rubbish when HTC release JB for One X. Project Butter is not implemented into JB UNTIL NOW, and Samsung so proudly display 4.2.2 in their build number.

Bigger screen, bigger battery = more powerful....? Everything else is the same. There's nothing in the Butterfly S that will perform better than what is inside the HTC One. Especially if the rumours of no OIS in the camera is true.

Same processor, 200mHz faster will not show anywhere except in benchmarks. Gaming on Android uses GPU much more than CPU

Yes you do. And LTE is only available for Maxis postpaid customer now, and must subscribe minimum 1GB data plan.

Yup, just change Sim Card, set your Mobile Data, Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Got the 4G logo means on LTE liao.

Not the fully updated one though, cos ARHD used 2.17, but OTA was 2.24

Camera.


Find a stock unrooted ROM for HTC__044. You should have nandroid your stock before you did anything, that's why there's huge big red warnings on rooting threads to tell you to do that
