TAIPEI (Reuters) - HTC Corp reported a record-low quarterly profit on Monday that missed analysts' estimates after the delayed launch of its 2013 flagship smartphone model further undermined sales amid tough competition from Samsung Electronics and Apple.
http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-...-quarterly-profit-after-delayed-phone-launch/
$2.8 million vs Samsung's $7 Billion profit...
Better start buying the praised HTC One or HTC will be bankcrupt.
because the One did not release and its delayed
funny despite all this, they still made some profit
may I ask you why you opened this thread again?
HTC One better quality?? It's uses GLUE to stick on speaker grill for god's sake...

At least they made a profit. I really want HTC to survive (and thrive even).

No one was expecting the manufacturer to post a huge profit, but analysts were hoping for roughly $20 million, even with the delay in mind.

This doesn't constitute trolling, simply linking an article and open for discussion. You don't like it to see the true, then don't read the article.

hey , i believe last thread was closed due to "not a device article" lol
Why do these guys care about One so much? It's not even aiming for the same users as S4.:cyclops:

The article is closely related to the delay of HTC One.

No need for another trolling ground. Where is the connection to the topic? Post that on Financial Times forum maybe.

These guys are saying Orange & T-Mobile are rolling out 2.1 on the 16th April
I know it's unofficial but certainly coincides with Legend release dates.
Hilariously, they site the XDA Developers forum as their source.
THEY SITE THIS SITE AS THEIR SOURCE
That's Hilarious, When did XDA Forums become creditably supplies of information for the Hero 2.1 release schedule? How many missed dates have people gotten their hopes up for?
Ah well, My hopes are in a bucket in a ditch. I will not be raising them

Agreed, to be honest I think it's more likely to be early May before they release 2.1, almost tempted to sell the Hero and just buy an unlocked Legend when it's released.

Another site reporting that the 16th April is the date:
http://mobilenews.omio.com/mobile-phone-handset-news/htc-hero-gets-date-for-android-2-1-update/
would be interesting to know where they are getting the information from, must just be a massive rumour mill somewhere.
theres really no point posting guessed released dates, lets just wait till atleast end of april

Heh I've given up on trying to educate people on correct spelling and grammar. Too many are of the attitude "well you know what I meant so it doesn't really matter".
My pet hates are of course your/you're and there/their/they're. It would probably take someone less than 5 minutes to get their head around given the correct definition yet incorrect use is rife on the Internet.
My pet hate is the use of the word "loose" when the correct word would be "lose".
For example: "I don't want to loose my settings".
Arghh!!!!
topic please?
OT
But it would be appropriate if you wished to loose your settings, like the hounds of hell, upon the unsuspecting public.
P.S. You could try the Villain 4.0 Beta 2. It seems pretty good and battery life is amazing at the moment for me. It is built from a Legend leak - but does chew up a lot of memory - I suspect that HTC engineers were liberal with memory use because the Legend has a bit more than our Heroes.

There are loads of threads with "possible" 2.1 release dates, and all of them are of less value than a discussion on grammar and spelling. It is especially true of this thread since it is only regurgitating a rumour that started on another thread in these very forums!
Personally, if I were a mod, I'd lock any thread with a purported 2.1 release date because they serve no purpose other than to get peoples dander up when the date inevitably passes with no update!

+1 !!! I definitely agree. I wish people would just post their useless links in an existing thread rather than keep starting new ones.
Ah more info, have no idea if this is any more reliable than anything else.
Engadget just posted it as being the 26th April http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/
Just another rumour ...
Not user x and user y are spreading them, companys like engadget are spreading rumours and they have the aura to be close to the manufacturers but aren't ...
Why should HTC issue an official release date on plurk and nowhere else?
Let's just wait and see

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI
Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.
This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.
Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.
you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....
I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

lol classic!
who cares!
we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.
I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.
Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

Third freaking 10char
I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.
I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).
I Have been talking with moto reps and people all week, and also a few friends with moto to solve some of our problems *fingers crossed* but i Know that personally i am at a cross roads with the device and i wont even have it till tomorrow lol so i decided to write in to Moto here https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45249?tstart=0
as well as applied to every development program and testing thing they had, if you are like me and will more than likely return the device no matter how nice it is if we or they dont come up with a solution before the 30 day return period i encourage you to do the same. I do ask though you appeal to a pleasant tone and leave the brute force method for the dev attempt to fix the problem
I think this is a good step, but I don't believe motorola will listen to people on their forums. When they decided to use signed/encrypted bootloaders, they were no doubt aware that some people would get angry and complain. That post was expected and as such probably won't make too many waves.
What if it wasn't just a single post? What if we got as many members as possible to post on Motorolas forum with their thoughts on the signed bootloaders? Good or bad idea?

well thats my idea... also i am speaking with my wallet as well, i have a total of 4 Atrix's for my self and family/friends tomorrow they will all return if i return more people need to do the same ... if they sell 2 million first month an return 1 million the second month they will listen
Campaign against Motorola, I say?

sort of... basically my number in last post are hugely glorified truth is they are right that people that care about bootloader are minority compared to over all sales that being said they wont notice if simply didn't purchase there device, would it hurt them yes, but over all they prob dont need us to survive, but how ever if we were to purchase than return they would have to take notice as to why 15% of pre ordered devices got returned with in the 30 day period
High level techs are a minority.
Also awaiting a response from Motoguy on the forum there. Wish you would have posted the original comment so we wouldnt have to wait for this guys return and comments.

As I am sure you can, I don't really care about anyones comment besides that of the Motorola's forum manager Mark. I am awaiting for his answer pertaining to the question;--Will Moto be true to its secondary statement regarding its real stance on the bootloader issue.

Um, if that is the case Motorola is marketing to a small amount of people.You also have to consider that when I say high level techs i'm talking about those that frequent a forum such as this and others. There are not many of us compared to the general consumer population. Hence forth you get the statement where if you are looking to mod you should look elsewhere. You have to realize that we (the high level techs) represent a small fragment of the general public.
so, after banging away loading EVERY tweak for over a year (xda is super win!), recently changing into a 3G sim (i missed the memo...the one tmo NEVER SENT!), and recently caving in and flashing 3.14 (yeah, i know, but getting nandydroidysuch on a wonky phone is foolish imho) i finally got a tech to mention a warranty exchange...
i've blown enough fire at them to burn the world (you do it your way, i'll do it mine thanks), and just NOW it's an option?!?
my guess, they finally recieved enough returns to let loose a refurby unit without feeling it.
could be wrong, but meh, corporations are what they are: looking out for the corporation.
no biggie, good on them right?
anywho, tomorrow before 6 UPS will deliver a (hopefully 100% unused) HD2...$5 fee, $337.00 if I do not return my "hindered" unit, warranty replacement.
it's actually got me giddy, especially since the HD7 & Sensation are dry humping each other in the corner like inbred rats....i.e. not the suitable HD2 replacement i was hoping for.
troll away!
btw my 3rd contract with tmo is up next April, surely 307 new htc winmo devices will have come and gone.
any futue speculators on style, design, guts, software, etc.?
all i ned is dual core, forward cam (maybe?), top noth screen/graphics, 4.3", and huge bewbs!
no wait, forget the bewbs...that's another topic.
