I just realized that according to what Google has already laid out, the HTC Desire Z with its 800 MHz processor doesn't meet the minimum specs standard to upgrade to Android 3.0 aka Gingerbread (at least not "officially") becaue the minimum requird spec is 1 GHz !!
I hope xda-devs comes up with a solution (overclocking ?? hybrid port ??)
because I love the form factor and the fact the Desire Z is HTC and has the latest sense UI
I'm very concerned... I don't want to invest on a phone that will become obsolete that fast !! (gingerbread is scheduled for december-january)
What do you guys think about this ??
The dark side (Droid 2 world edition) is tempting me...

For one you are in America right? So you can't get the Desire Z anyway, you can get the G2 though.
And secondly, this crap about Gingerbread requiring a 1Ghz processor to run was a rumour that Google debunked ages ago so please just get over it and wait like the rest of us to find out what exactly is happening with Gingerbread.
And in anycase the D2 World Edition is almost identical to the Desire Z/G2 anyway. HTC have the new CPU and GPU on these where as the D2 has the new CPU and same old GPU as the original so really they seem on par if this was your case for choosing that so you 'will definitely get Gingerbread'

I find your response very emotional, hey I obviously prefer an HTC device over a Moto one, but the upgradeability is very important for me. I need facts.
Regarding the american bands, pdadb says there's an US version Desire Z scheduled for december
If those google requirements have been 'debunked', I'd appreciate if you can share some links/quotations from trusted sources

I'm guessing the reason he seems "Emotional" is because this same post keeps popping up again and again on every forum, and it seems people will keep churning them out with no end in sight. The rumor is based on a tweet. There are tons of articles about this. (I haven't posted allot to this forum so can't actually post links, but just google for it.)
If you want to see the original statements by googles team you can search twitter for it. We have no reason to assume Desire Z wouldn't get a 3.0 update, if devices like Desire would. And at any rate, the Qualcomm 7230 (Which is the chip in use) is designed to run between 800 and 1000mhz.
The guys designing these devices aren't stupid. They wouldn't release a device (indeed a premier device) if it's going to go obsolete or at least behind within 6 months. Yes, droid devices are constantly moving forward but certainly not that fast. Just don't worry about this kinda stuff.
Thth are recommend specs the g2 will be plenty fast enough
Sent from my HTC Super Hero using XDA App which doesn't have the word iPhone in its vocabulary, and I wish I didn't either all on my custom baked Rom
The 800Mhz proc from the Desire Z is a Dual-Core processor, so, it's better than the 1Ghz proc from my good old HTC Desire ! I think it has the requirements for Gingerbread !
PS: Andy 3.0 isn't GingerBread

Interresting.. Qustion is, if this 'slower' dual cpu, then will be faster, than the single CPU, with intergrated graphics, but higher mhz?

Of course it will.. But mostly it will depend on operation. You can never compare a first 1 generation cpu with later generation by just looking at cpu frequency.
Any link to that supposedly "debunked" minimum hardware reqs ??

is there anything else coming to the market with a qwerty hook up and touch screen?
Im over winmo and want to try an android phone.
Right now i have TP2 and b4 that i had Touch HD
Does Simbian suck?
I need something that i can use when i go to the UK as well, so like Droid X and all that stuff doesnt work for me.
I like this new HTC but everyone talking about 1ghz and dual processors and how its gonna be slow and no front facing cam blah blah blah makes me think twice, or three times even.
Frankly I think the front-facing camera thing is a bit of a white elephant at the moment. I've had one on my phone for about three years now (Win Mo) and I've never used it once. OK that may change as networks get faster, but I see no real need for one now.

There's that Verizon phone that's been floating around recently that had the fire red keyboard. if I'm not mistaken from one of the pics it's a dual mode and has a sim slot though to be honest you will likely pay a huge premium using that or any other phone like t outside the states.
Think it's either a 3.8" or 4" screen.

I am looking to jump from Symbian to Android but am stuck due to the hardware. You might like to consider the Nokia E7 but it's anyone's guess as to when it might actually see the light of day. As an example, the N8 announced six months ago has still not gone on sale yet!
Symbian is functional but I'm afraid that's about all I can say about it from a user perspective. It doesn't have the developer support of the likes of Android and iOS. The point in its favour is the hardware is generally better - better cameras better audio and often better build quality.
Swings and roundabouts I'm afraid ... always the case!
Desire Z using second generation of Qualcomms Snapdragon, as i write in other post, read this:
My opinion : Desire Z is faster .. and do you know why?
So..
Desire HD using Qualcomm QSD8255 -> it is Snapdragon 1st generation

Bud Desire Z using Qualcomm MSM7230 -> Snapdragon 2nd generation
Specifications:
Scorpion 800 MHz CPU (can be safely overclocked to 1GHz = Recommanded Maximum )
Integrated 3G mobile broadband connectivity
MSM7230 support for HSPA+ networks - up to 14 Mbps downloads and 5.76 Mbps uploads

So Desire Z have:
CPU on 800MHz .. but not problem go to 1GHz = Same as Desire HD
GPU 2 x better then Desire HD GPU = +1 to Desire Z
45nm technology - Desire HD have 65nm technology = +1 to Desire Z
So in SoC category is Desire Z better then Desire HD.
Regards, MiTMaN
PS: Repair me please when Im wrong.
nice contrib MiTMaNeK
that GPU thing is particularily interesting
thanks for sharing
Here's the Doird2/Milestone2's 1GHz OMAP 3620 specs
source
-Clock 1000 MHz
-45 nm
-ARM Cortex A8
-IVA 2+ harware accelerator (up to 4x multimedia performance vs previous OMAPs), Multi-standard (MPEG-4, H.264) encode/decode and WMV9 decode at D1 (720 x 480 pixels) at 30 fps - Up to 720p HD res

- Image signal processor supporting up to 12 megapixel
- Composite and S-video TV output
- up to WXGA (1280 x 800), 16-million color (24-bit definition) display support
- Linux, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Android Mobile Platform and Symbian
I couldn't find triangles/sec stuff for this one
Note also that this new GPU/CPU combo chip is different to the Snapdragon found in earlier HTC Androids. It is likely that 800MHz on this new chip bears similar performance to 1GHz on another chip.
This is very similar to comparing Intel and AMD CPUs on the desktop. Because different processor designs have varying Instructions-Per-Clock, you can't make a simple comparison between clock frequencies.
The other thing to note is that a major complaint with smart phones (and Android in particular) is terrible battery life when comparing them to feature phones. I'd be happy with a lower maximum clock if it meant longer times between charges.
i think Desire HD using 2nd Generation Snapdragon 1GHz processor which is call Qualcomm QSD825 Scorpion.
So, the Desire HD will should have better performance than Desire Z.
But Desire Z should have better performance than Desire(1st generation snapdragon).
You may check the CPU details at Qualcomm website.

They write on the website that they have one day batterylife on 3G, well... that depends on how u define a day, its not gona last 24 hours, but ur not gona be 24 hours on 3G, i thing they mean a working day, and here in Germany its 8 Hours, well... if u really dont do nothing but 3G, and u have some "work breaks" u may be lucky and it lasts a working day...
it depends on the point of view
Tegra 2 and the new IMG PowerVR are going to be much faster than dual snapdragons @ 1.5ghz.
If you think that's impressive, you should wait until 2012 where they'll release a 2ghz dual core using 32nm chip technology. Yup, I'd suggest skipping this generation and the next generation of slow snapdragons altogether and wait until the 2ghz to come out!!
True true, bit rubbish really though, I guess we all expect to beable to get emails, calls and messages all day, 8am till 11pm ish, i can live with charging my phone once a day i'm used to it on th 3gs, maybe someone needs to come up with better batteries insted of smaller faster cpu's lol

bingo. All these fast processors are useless if battery technology is lagging behind.
I read some where, sorry dont remember where, that a university somewhere developed a battery that could be fully recharged in a matter of seconds.
If you could fully recharge your battery in a few moments, surely it wouldnt matter as much that the battery only lasted a day. a short car journey would result in a full charge set for another day. i think i would be satisfied with that for most conditions.
The dual-core Snapdragon won't be used in phones, it's intended for netbook type devices.
U forgot the Qualcomm's QSD8650A Snapdragon 1.3 GHz
It is suppose to be 30% faster AND consumes 30% less power than the 1 ghz version.
The higher clock speed is not only the improvement, the new chipset also packed with 2D graphics accelerator and an improved 3D graphics core that supports WXGA (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution displays and Adobe Flash, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, mobile TV (DVB-H, MediaFLO, ISDB-T) and high-def video recording/playback.

HTC just announced the Desire Z version of their "Vision" handset that is identical to the G2. It runs a newer version of HTC Sense that's got a lot of nice new enhancements. I expect G2 owners will want to port this in a hurry.
Desire Z will be available in October in Europe and Asia only.

Anandtech's "Mega" HTC One review>>
I've never given any smartphone an editors choice award before, though I daily regret not giving the One S an award of some kind. For the HTC One I'm giving our Editors Choice Gold award, which is our second highest award. The One is an incredibly awesome device
I'm a big fan of the HTC One and can see myself using it for quite a while, even without seeing necessarily everything of its main upcoming contenders. It's a device which amazingly is built to the kind of specifications I'd want from a device — huge emphasis on camera, all metal construction with actively tuned antennas, and a powerful SoC inside.

thanks for the info!
I will try to gather all information i can find in one big thread.
if the article is correct, the htc one will be indeed sold in germany very very early

But clove.uk mentioned, it won't be available before March 15.

yes i will. I will get a review unit in the next few weeks from htc as well so i can give you some early impressions as well
Most other retailers also mention the 15th of march. It's probably just a PR thingy for Vodafone - I don't expect them to sell many devices, it's just to create some buzz. But I'm not sure whether the info is correct as they seem to be the only ones doing it, which is strange. However, it seems that the information comes from Vodafone directly.
On a different note, I have a question regarding the speakers:
Consider being on a call, talking, when suddenly you receive an SMS with maxed out volume. Wouldn't that make your head explode as one of the speakers is directly at your ear?!?!
HTC Flagship - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread
Just saw your post on Hamdir's thread. I will follow his thread regularly and from now I follow this too.
I will get the device as soon as it was released, thinking of my one x, whether to keep it or sell it. If the price was <700 usd, I will keep my one x. Just now OneX development is getting better and the device is so smooth after JB, so can't sell it.

I am worried about it, too... It was like that on a mobile phone I once had. However I guess HTC will use the proximity sensor to turn down the volume to a safe level.

I just hope they thought about it (this would be the perfect solution actually - just turn off the upper speaker completely).

I don't think the message tone will be active when the call is active. I never had that on OneX or dhd.

Of course it is active on the One X. I'm not 100% sure if it is the case for SMS, as I rarely use SMS anyways, but it is certainly true for GMail.
Where's Hamdir?
Anyway I hope we will see reviews very soon,I am very curious about the stereo speakers,screen under sunlight and camera performances

I'm talking about the SMS tone. There's a notification in the status bar when we got a message while in call, no tone. At least for me.

Well, that's details - I'm talking about messaging tones in general, regardless of the source. It happens definitely with my One X for various types of notifications.

Then it would be suggestible to use a headset for calls. It's good for health too.
Just kidding.

Or simply only making calls with activated loudspeakers and holding the device 50cm in front of you. Preferrable in a train or bus.
Silver VS black video at last!!

A Fresh Restart
After the Out of Topic trouble we faced in the old thread, the mods and myself decided to start a new a sticky mega information thread, this time in read only format
The new thread will post news strictly to HTC One (M7) hardware and software, it will also cover tests, reviews and finds about various topics like the Snapdragon 600 SOC, Adreno 320 GPU, Ultrapixel camera, Sense 5, Google Edition, future updates, Gaming performance and Custom kernels
If anybody feels i have missed a piece of important information you can send it to me via PM and i will be sure to give you the credits
For those who like to continue the more general HTC action from the old thread, I will be contributing to the following Off-topic thread by @DeSaint2:

How to fix your HTC One LCD color tint
To do you so you will need to flash Faux' custom kernel starting v006 and it's companion app
Faux123 HTC One kernel
Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro app
Go to the screen tab and reduce the value you think is causing the tint, for example on my HTC One i always felt its a little on the green side, in order to reach the perfect white balance make sure to reduce in very small amounts and keep in mind it will only work after a reboot
here is my set up:

The Unwired: HTC STARTS SOFTWARE UPDATE ROLL-OUT FOR THE HTC ONE - ADDS SUPPORT FOR HTC MINI+ AND GOOGLE KEYBOARD - 2.24.401.8
HTC has just started to roll-out a minor firmware update for the HTC One, which already hit France. According to the provided information, the v2.24.401.8 update, which only is 32 MB small, is said to add compatibility for the upcoming HTC Mini+ remote control as well as the original Google Android keyboard, which is available from the Android Google Play market as a free download. If HTC has now started to roll-out a minor firmware update, which contains support for the HTC Mini+, it shouldn't take too long anymore to see it released in Europe, even if HTC has yet not officially announced it but all we have is the::unwired's earlier observation of a software update as well as Clove's later blog post of the expected launch.

I can confirm that the official google keyboard works like a charm.
Update: I think a kernel update as well. 3.4.10-g445d072 to 3.4.10-g28df0d6
Now you can open maps etc. directly from the contact window. I believe that didn't work before the update.

A really thorough HTC One hardware review from the ARHD Blog
ARHD Blog: HTC One review - Part 2: Hardware
Some highlights:
The HTC One is considered by many to be the Android flagship phone of 2013, and has topped the PhoneDog Smartphone Rankings weekly since March 31st. This not only makes it one of the most successful HTC phones of all time, it also means it has been at the #1 spot for longer than even the immensely popular Apple iPhone 5.

It is a real beauty of engineering, with a sleek aluminium casing exceeding even the quality of the iPhone 5, with a superior hardness rating. The unibody polycarbonate body of the HTC One X is a thing of the past, with each individual One casing taking 200 minutes to manufacture.

When compared to the output from the Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5, the difference in quality is night and day. No phone to date can match the HTC One for sound quality. Playing for example racing games on HTC One is a really great experience. Stereo system is just amazing.

However, S600 seems to have enough power to supply, because the speed and fluidity of the HTC One is something to be admired. Every system app can be launched in under 2 seconds, and the overall experience feels very snappy. In fact, the phone feels faster than Galaxy S4, which experiences many micro lags caused by its TouchWiz custom UI. The HTC One doesn't seem to lag at all. The only instance is caused by Android: poor scrolling in some apps.

With the new Snapdragon 800 processors due to be included in phones starting September, the 600 will soon be minorly outdated, but it is still an excellent choice. Bundled with this is the Adreno 320 GPU. This is one of the best GPUs currently available, and beats the PowerVR SGX 544MP3 found in the Galaxy S4. The iPhone 5 also uses a PowerVR, and due to it’s smaller screen size and resolution, this phone will generally play games smoother than on the HTC One, however at the cost of screen size.

One of the main issues which HTC had to tackle during the designing process of the HTC One was a how to ensure the device wan't susceptible to capacitive detuning, where the human hand would stop the radio form functioning correctly. An example of this was the grip of death experienced by the iPhone 4. HTC solved this issue in a unique and clever way: the antennas tune themselves actively in order to ensure the best Standing Wave Ratio and to match impedance during the presence of a hand or case. HTC introduced a new antenna feeding structure to ensure that attenuation doesn't affect the overall antenna performance regardless of how the HTC One is held in the hand. This active antenna tuning is a first for 2013. The actual antennas HTC uses are the metal strips at the top and bottom of the device.

In conclusion, the HTC One has proven itself to be top of the Android class, and thoroughly deserves its extended period as PhoneDog #1 smartphone. The build quality is second to none, and the overall specs definitely don't fall short. On paper, the phone is a beast, but in the hand it's more of a beauty.

HTC One Simple Gaming Boost scripts - Root
While the HTC One mostly ramps up the CPU pretty well on it's own for the majority of (optimized) games, certain games still need a good old fashioned boost to the CPU governor, you can figure out these games when they fluctuate between very smooth fps and laggy for no obvious reason (like lagging in non detailed areas)
Examples of such games are Ripetide GP2, Beach Buggy Blitz, Real Racing 3 and Iron Man 3
Use the attached very simple scripts to boost your CPU quickly before you game and then unboost when you are done

HTC One Adreno 320 GPU - OC GFX Bench tests
By default the GPU is slightly underclocked at 400mhz, using custom kernels it can be easily unclocked to 450mhz (same as the stock clock on the SGS4) or go further to 487mhz
However after 450mhz there is a relation between the GPU And CPU
CPU 1728mhz, GPU 400mhz (stock 2.24.401.8)
CPU 1300mhz, GPU 450mhz
CPU 1500mhz, GPU 450mhz
CPU 1728mhz, GPU 450mhz
CPU 1728mhz, GPU 487mhz
CPU 1890mhz, GPU 487mhz
CPU 2109mhz, GPU 487mhz
18fps / 46fps are the highest GFX scores i could achieve on my HTC One
Going with higher CPU clocks and GPU 487mhz will not yield any benefit it will score the same
Interestingly going with extreme GPU clocks like 533mhz will bring performance crashing all the way down
Anfroud Authority: HTC One: How to master BlinkFeed
Conclusion
The HTC One’s BlinkFeed app is a cool feature that snugly packs
all your favorite content into one page. It is one of the big
reasons that many users love their HTC One, although, arguably,
it’s also one of the big reasons that some users shy away from
the HTC One.
While BlinkFeed is very easy to master, the app’s inability to
accommodate custom media sources frequently cause me to
believe that other similarly natured apps actually work better
and has better flexibility. Though, on the other hand, it’s this
lack of flexibility that makes BlinkFeed easy to master and easy
to use.
Lastly, while BlinkFeed may seem pervasive at first, you can
actually dismiss it from view by setting a different main
homescreen or by using a custom launcher — either of which
doesn’t remove the app from your system. For the latter, you
can take the geeky route: flash a custom ROM.
What do you think of BlinkFeed? Do you use it at all? Or, do you
prefer a different third-party app instead, and if so, what app?
Share your BlinkFeed experiences with us by sounding off in the
comments.

Update: If you download this game from your 3.x ROM with ES 3.0 drivers it will download an improved version with Anti-Aliasing and better color precision, explained in this post
HTC One, 3D Games Performance Report, Asphalt 8 (tested on 2.24.401.8)
This game runs in sub 1080p, around 720p judging from the 1:1 snaps, this game features built-in graphics settings and by default it's set to medium, which can be raised to high, the only difference between the two modes are the added gameloft style lens flare reflections and motion blur, equally medium mode suffers from some dithering and reduced precision in shaders
Performance wise, it runs well in both modes most but suffers from random fps dips, so it joins the rank of games in need of CPU governor boost, once boosted it runs extremely smooth, so make sure to use my
HTC One Simple Gaming Boost scripts - Root
If you are using stock kernel it runs extremely well with the above script until it hits the temperature threshold and throttles the GPU, to fix this you need to either disable ThermalD or use custom kernels like Faux or Elemental X
Medium - Scaled 1080p (dithering)
Medium - Scaled 1080p - Boost (no motion blur, no lens reflections)
Medium 1:1 (dithering)
High - Scaled 1080p (no dithering)
High - Scaled 1080p - Boost (+ motion blur, + lens reflections)
High - Scaled 1080p - Flares (+ motion blur, + lens reflections)
High - 1:1 (no dithering)
