it's one of the reasons HTC near bankrupt but it's not the major reason. the major reason is because HTC pissed off a lot of it's fans during the Desire HD era. it's a snowball effect.

ipong guarantee >3years software update. haha..but ipong feel too mainstream

I think galaxy series is more ubiquitous than ipong

I'm happy where I am in Androidland. Just a matter of picking my next phone. So far Nexus 5 is one of the candidates for me.

Anyone ordered from ipmart or Qoo10?

HTC One, HTC Butterfly S, HTC One Max. One flagship per year?
Last year we have HTC One X, X+ and Butterfly.

I suspect there are a lot of internal issues in HTC themselves, just look at their staffs leaving. With their production volumes, they cannot serve the global demands and thus can only make limited amount of phones (with high price tag), eventually losing market share to Samsung, LG and Sony when they have the capability to product a lot a lot of phones (in numbers, not just models only).

Still hoping for a HTC Nexus though, still my favourite Android maker - maybe this will change after I got my N5? LOL!

How to access us play store?

even iphone offers upgrade also no point, old phone gets too laggy till can barely use. e.g linus with his iphong

Will US(D820) set users face this issue in Malaysia?

likely. should be a simple software fix.

Maybe no, but there have solution way so no worry.

There's a solution? Then I'd like to know. I have D821 but with a 3G plan. There is no indication the phone is searching for 4G network but the option for 3G is immediately deselected after I exited the Settings app.

Copy from that site,

1. Open Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> Select 3G
2. Verify that Network Mode is shown as 3G
3. With back button move to one page backwards
4. Again open "Mobile Networks"
5. Verify that 3G setting is gone and "Network Mode" is "Change the network operating mode" as if no setings has been done.

Which VPN should i use?

So you're facing this issue with a Malaysian LTE -compatible set?

Anyone can confirm if D820 will also face this problem?

I'm quite sure this step allows you to reproduce the problem as stated on the site, and not fix it. Unless I am misunderstanding something.

That is not a solution.

No big deal. I tested it on my non-LTE contract (D821 ver). Selecting 4G will connect it to HSDPA+ (H icon on the network signal). Selecting 3G will show the bug, but phone still connects to HSDPA+.

True but that is not the point. The phone will keep on searching for a 4G signal and this will drain the battery. This is why limiting the phone to 3G only is important so as not to make the phone keep on searching a 4G signal.

Honestly, my standby time is superior to sgs4 on 3G. So I'm not sure if the 3G option not sticking is just a bug in the GUI or truly a bug in hardware switching. If it is the latter, then I can expect much improved battery life.
