hi,
I've had a t-mobile MDAII for a while, but i was very disappointed in the screens performance, too high contrast and dark screen.
I also read on forums that the screen is not using all its capabilities with the colors.
So what i wanted to know, is if it's only the MDAII that has this screen, or all HTC devices?
because i want to buy now a O2 XDAII. Does it have a better screen?
thanks for your help!
I think there's no hardware difference in MDA2/XDA2/Qtek 2020, only different ROMs, softwares, and of course, branding
It looks fine to me [QTek2020] and I've experienced a lot of differet colour displayes...
Just come across a Chinese site with direct comparison of X1 and TP2 in picture.
http://digi.tech.qq.com/a/20090311/000053.htm
I missed the "Tilt" design of my AT&T Tilt.
Awesome....
That touch pro 2 looks damn good...
Is there any words about the official release?
mid june...look so bulky.
The more I see of it the more I think it looks like the kaiser.
Personally I'm still angling towards a thoth, but would settle for a HD, I love the X1, but am finding it a bit small sometimes..
i guess its just me then, but i think the xperia has a unique design and it's way much sexier, tp2 looks more like an iphone with a slideout keyboard...even the xperia slideout keyboard looks sleeker than the tp2...just my opinion
I'm with you spike... X1 looks much better. But then, it's not all about looks
crabby
personal i dont like the design its bulky and again material is cheap, i am still happy with my X1 and the TP2 is not an device which can replace it, i am more interessted on devices with the new snapdragon inside 1000mhz yeahhhhhhhhhh, anyway right now only Toshiba is announcing an device with it, and i think we wont have an option to customize it, so i will have to wait for an HTC device with good specs.

TP2 is way to big for a phone....
touch HD is just as big as it should get. anything bigger is just silly......
Diamond 2 is a good looking phone though
If the TP2 has usb host capability - I am buying it!
The display is the only benefit of this TP2. I personally don't like the design. It's like an iPhone clone. It's too big I think, and above all, I do not like the huge tilt of the display. It's way too much. I would better buy TP1 instead of TP2 if I'm looking for display comfortability. The tilt reminds me of the tilt of N97.
TP2 is a strange product, finding itself between TP1 and Touch HD. I personally thing that people will choose TP1 or Touch HD, based on their needs instead of choosing some kind of mix between them too, what the TP2 looks like.
But time will show. I will look further for the TP2 future.
Hi guys, looking for my ne diamond I found something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.de/3-2-WQVGA-WM6-1-...g_KM?hash=item414908ab83&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I am almost sure, but please tell me, is it a fake?
Yes it's fake...
It's ugly... Black with silver is way better
And.. the diamond2 has a WVGA screen, not WQVGA
And.. the diamond2 has a 5mp camera, not 3.2
And.. the diamond2 has a indicator LED, this one doesn't
And.. the diamond2 has a way better battery than this one
But.. This one has a mat black backcover, the original one doesn't have that
OK, thanks a lot man, seeing many brands which sell HTC thought something unknown appeared, but better ask twice So I look further.
By the way, is anyone making diamond 1 style battery cover for diamond 2?
No, there are no other official battery covers yet..
I have seen some mat black ones but they are very rare and hard to get.
There isn't a TD1 battery cover style made yet.
Those housings were from a small asian market. I had one for a short time. It is a real htc device, but has been outsourced to the asian market, and downgraded a bit like the mda phones. You cannot use a factory stylus with it either.... The housing is actually smaller than the factory one and uses a smaller circuit board. Everything else is the same though. Not a good buy, as the quality of parts to make it were 2nd run ones from htc....
God, this one is fake?! It's just the same as the real one...Asian maket makes and sells these fakes....Even though it looks like the real one I guess it's rubbish.....
Cosmetic discrepancies:
- No indicator LED or ambient light detector near earpiece
- No front facing VGA (video call) camera
- No htc logo to top left of screen
- Metal surround should be a lighter metal, not gunmetal as shown (suspect plastic)
- hardware buttons under screen should match metal surround, be lighter in colour
- Word "INNOVATION" not preceded by word "htc"
- Power button recessed into surround, should stand proud by ~1mm
- Power button too thick; Should match width of volume control
- mini-USB port incorrect shape, will not support proprietary Audio-out features
- Opening for lanyard loop should be to left of mini-USB port
- Back cover should read [htc logo] F2.8 AUTO FOCUS 5.) MEGA PIXELS
- "Diamond" back camera surround should have brushed metal finish
Obvious ones I can see from pictures, anyway!
Note that instead of fake, it is "Generic" brand, this particular one being "Black". It's also €155... HTC Touch Diamond 2 retails for approx £400, over twice the price.
The specs are different too.... camera and memory ar emor akin to the diamond rather than diamond 2...
A huge difference: it doesn't appear to be 3G!!
Gotta smile at the sheer effort these guys put in to the "fakes" (but sad when someone falls for it).
If HTC is gonna release a One+ version in the coming months,what are the specs you want to add compared to the One?
For me:
-weather sensors like on the S4 (temp and humidity)
-Larger screen with same body dimensions.
-6 ultrapixel camera
-plastic borders instead of metal for less chips annoyances.(like One Mini)
For me i dont want one+ , and i think they would only release the one max because releasing a new edition of one is useless as after it with a couple of months in 2014 a new flagship will be released
I Didnt bought s4 for this thing sasmsung is overreleasing different variants of its device and this is ****
So far the One+ is not happening for the following reasons:
- HTC views the M7 as perfect, they already have universal praise and the title of the best smartphone, 6 months after launch, in other words unlike the One X there is nothing to fix in terms of hardware
- Internally HTC is trying to commit to a one year brand flagship, they are already running survies for the next 2014 flagship and all the news from Taiwan hints only at a single upcoming M7 variation which is the One Max
- If such a device exist we would have seen leaks so far as the usual, in fact our trusty leaker LlabTooFeR even confirmed no such device is under works
as for the sensors, seems to me you really want a galaxy S4 so go for it, its dead cheap :laugh:

ps: you must be kidding about plastic right? the One brand will remain focused on premium, actually if this is your wish such a device is already there, the butterfly S which is the HTC brand using plastic, bigger screen in the same frame and massively bigger battery, higher clocked processor
as for the sensors, seems to me you really want a galaxy S4 so go for it, its dead cheap :laugh:

If you want to keep your phone in a fully closed case then it's ok to keep metal borders,I think HTC saw this problem and made the borders plastic on the Mini (perhaps the max too).
As I am not a case lover,specially when the One is a beauty,I prefer plastic borders that will resist most of the small everyday bits to protect the aluminum body

oops sorry i thought you want it full plastic, i read it wrong my apologies
The Max has those borders as well but I feel it cheapens the whole thing, also HTC did a sad thing on the mini, the front speaker covers are fake metal, lets hope its not on the Max
i am still against the sensors or any of the bloat the S4 is carrying

I am in love with weather conditions,it's one of the thing that pushed me toward HTC before (full screen weather animations), so having an onboard sensor that reads humidity and temp is very cool for me,the pedometer thingy though is totally useless compared to GPS based sports apps.
Let's see what the Max and note 3 will give us,too bad they will be both heavy,also XDA devs don't like phablets
I would say:
- Bigger screen by replacing capacitive buttons with Nav bar (customizable, so no more double taps and swipe ups)
- Tighter QC. What the hell is this? There are so many threads in this forum dedicated to defects. I'm a victim of two.
- Ditch the Ultra pixel crap. 4 Mp don't do anything. There is always noise in my pictures regardless of the lighting. The Nokia 1020 has a 41 Mp sensor but beats the One at low light photography. Ultrapixel was always a gimmick and the red and blue tint is the final nail in the coffin.
- wider volume range. The quiets are too loud and the louds are too quiet. I know the speakers are physically capable of a wider range. HTC just didn't implement it.
- Micro SD. I know I sound like an old man grumbling, but if you're going to be taking a lot of HD video, then you need extra space. Especially to make up for the around 7 gigs "other" takes up.
That's really it. It's a long list, but some of them aren't features. They're things that should have been done with the m7.

i don't agree about ultrapixel, we need more of them and wider dynamic range thats all, the Lumia 1020 is bad example since it trades the smartphone design and size for the camera sensor, the tint you speak is not global like you guys wish to believe, many of us don't have it, it's just a defect or damage to your sensor
as for QC you are right but i believe HTC already did amends on this part, they newly created a special team dedicated to deal with factory QC issues, also the HTC One mini had design changes to deal with this as well
I really hope and think they will pursue the ultra pixel camera..if not it's just going to be a mp race to see who has the highest mp on their camera...this has a lot of potential..bump it up to 6 or 8 mp and I think it will completely blow everything out of the park
I for one LOVE the metal border.
All of my old phones with plastic or plastic painted to look metal have NOT stood the test of time. HTC Touch, Desire, IPhone 3gs (Wife.....not me), have chips that look awful.
My older metal phones (One V, IPhone 4 (Wife again) still look fantastic.
Our "new" phones, my One, and my Wifes S3 (free on a 2 year with Telus.....ashamed I couldn't talk her into a One X but proud I got her away from IOS) you can guess the result. I have had my One since launch, caseless, it is still pristine. My Wife's S3 has a small chip in the faux metal (plastic) ring.......and looks aweful.
Metal for me......thanks!

Moderator update,
We have decided to close this thread as it is not about the HTC One phone. All off topic threads should go into the off topic section in XDA. This specific forum is for threads regarding the HTC One only.
Many thanks,

as the xperia z the z1 is as close to the perfect phone i can get but i thought i'd make a wishlist for the z2
1.i would like 4 speakers two on each side in the corner to utilize surround
2.the best screen you can get in a phone with the best black level and the best viewing angles (a sony developed oled would be amazing)
3.camera does not matter to me (but i guess a less noisy camera with xenon flash)
4.thinner bezels all around to give the phone a more sharp corners design (not too thin) (AND ABSOLUTELY no inner plastic like the z1 it slightly ruins that phone for me)
5.brushed metal finish at the back i read nfc won't work behind metal so not sure how to use that maybe put the nfc sensor at the side not back
6.fully customizable size/looks/color/theme and hidable onscreen buttons (hides in any fullscreen application) also customizable notification bar i like that the layer behind it dissappears when in the menu it looks nicer i want it like that always
7.able to use the phone everywhere in landscape mode menus and everything (it can be done if it's connected in the dock)
8.thinner metal frame all around matte black color (honestly i feel no difference holding the z1 from when i held the z)
9.4.6 or 4.7 inch screen like the htc one
The thin bezels
Oleophobic coating (without skin)
Optical stabilization
Support for 4K video recording to zoom during video recording
IPS or PLS screen for all versions
I really dont see a disadvantage in our not soooo small bezels. It is really anoying if you always have to hold the phone in a way that you dont touch the edge of the display and command something unwanted... Other new phones have that problem and many of my friends complained about that.

This problem does not exist. I am the owner of G2, and read reviews on S4, G2 and etc., none of that

I used G2 before owning z1, and yes unwanted touches always happens...
But still G2 is better than Z1

Better battery life
Better display and viewing
Bigger screen
Lighter
Smaller than z1 but 5.2" screen size
Lots of features
Better camera and video recording
Gorilla glass
I cant notice any difference when it comes to performance.
The only advantage of Z1 is its dust and water resistant and the presence of expandable storage. (except the Korean Variant)
My reason for shifting to Z1 is that my g2 was only 16gb and the 32gb is not available here.
But still I'm happy and satisfied with Z1...

My wish list would be:
thinner
Thinner bezels
IPS LCD screen
Floating touch technology
Android 4.4 out of the box
Better battery
And if possible, no covered ports
S Master Chip!

Z1 only has 16GB, so you moved to Z1 just for dust resistance & expandable storage ?
As for Z2, you know these fat bezels on the Z1 that everyone likes to gripe about ? i would like to see speakers in there like htc has.
I have this idea that sony is testing the market acceptability of a form factor like on the Z1.
From the LG G2: Screen, bezels/housing, battery and reception (wifi/gsm)
From the HTC One: Speakers and build quality
From the Z1: Camera (mixed with the G2 camera, OIS), build quality, water-proof and software/looks
That would be about it
well keeping it real..
i would love to see Z2 to have these features:
OIS, oh yes this has to be included in Z2...
better camera algorithm, we know Sony cams have good potential....
S-Master for Mobile, well not exactly the REAL S-Master we see in Walkman devices, but seeing these chips in the upcoming flagship Xperias would be nice
Oleophobic coating on screen and rear glass, THIS!! THIS!!!! i hate to keep the shatterproof sheet on as it scratches easily, using screenguard is annoying too as it also scratches easily while the screen itself is already pretty tough, but the screen is a goddamn fingerprint and dust magnet
better video Codec built-in
better viewing angle, it was kinda shocking to see my old Xperia V has way better viewing angle than Z1 which is supposedly to be a superior display with Triluminos...

Build quality? Z1 has better build quality than HTC One.
I've had s4 and htc one and wanted note 3 or nexus 5 untill I got Z1, I can honestly say Z1 is a keeper and I'm very happy with it.
Cant speak for G2? Power button on back? Crap UI? No thanks.

I like them both so I listed build quality for both devices Had no complaints wiht my HTC one, was solid as hell and felt great. But yeah, Z1 is fine too in that aspect.

Seriously? You got to be kidding with those three. And I'm not sure about battery life.
Anyway, All I wish for the Z2 is:
A BIGGER power button,
OIS,
If some act of God would make possible an uncovered-waterproof uncovered micro USB port,
a bit thinner, maybe just like the Z,
And maybe a better screen (although I'm very happy with it).
Maybe about the thing with bezels is that they should put physical buttons on that space.
camera without bubbles at zoom, better screen better than s amoled and dont know more for now
I actually would have bought it if it had an IR blaster.
I just really lol sometimes at the wishlist, if you seriously want all those kind ofa perfect features from a smartphone why don't you start manufacturing your own mobiles lol?
