Idk if this is the right sub to ask for this kind of help, if not, please lemme know!

So I was looking through my old stuff and found my cousin’s old HTC sense. Back in high school, they ultimately gave it to me because they dropped it and now the Wi-Fi no longer works and they wanted me to fix it. Through trials and tribulations, I was not able to fix the phone to the best of my knowledge and there wasn’t enough info on how to fix a wifi error on a sense beside software trouble shooting.

UNTIL I discovered an old thread that explained that if it wasn’t a software issue, chances are it’s a hardware issue. By that it meant that the wifi chip was probably crooked. All you have to do is heat it for a couple of seconds so that the connectors can melt back to the chip, let it cool and the wifi is back. Here’s my issue, though. I’m not sure where exactly the wifi chip is located. Any tips and advice is appreciated! I wanna try and fix this phone again :) it’s been such a core memory in our childhood and I wanna try and fix it so we can share this awesome relic of a phone again!

Hi, no reviews show if the HTC U23 PRO is able to record 1080p videos at 60fps, and most spec sites say it records at 1080@30. The closest I saw was an FPS option in the video recording settings but no confirmation of wether or not it could record 1080@60fps.
Can it actually record 1080p video at 60 fps? It is actual 60fps if it can?

Hello, I am in the process of learning to build custom ROMs and I had to start with this device for compatibility reasons of my phone. Basically I am trying to build some custom ROMs on the Desire 650, which doesn't have any custom ROM ported yet and I had to use the Desire 816 as somewhat of a template for mine. What I am asking is for anyone who owns the Desire 816 (I don't own it) to flash this cyanogenmod 13 ROM and tell me if it even boots, so that I know my template works and so to know that I can start modifying it for my actual project.

I am addressing to people willing to help. I would love to find someone who knows their way into flashing and knows how to reflash.

If anyone who hasn't done that before would like to help, I have to warn you about the risk of bricking, but I am willing to personally help you to get your device to the way it was before, in case anything goes wrong.

When starting my smartphone life I was choosing an HTC M8 and was loving it more than every phone I ever owned before. The incredible Boom Sound, the clear and bright display. It was a dream!

I skipped the M9 and M10 which did not have essential improvements but got to the U11 and U11 Plus. HTC 's star was already about to fade away and the company's role in the smartphone market got less and less important.

My last HTC was the U20 5G in green. The camera was amazing and its performance still incredible. I did not ignore that other smartphone companies began to get in front of HTC and that everything that had made HTC so unique in the past, was gone.... But I still lived the HTC feeling and identified myself with the company and its product.

Unfortunately, my U20 5G had a serious defect (IC, something with the charging module) and due to the fact that there is no technical support left in Germany it was impossible to repair it. I lost some data that was kept in the internal memory but furthermore I lost my trust in a future with HTC devices.

There is nothing else to say.... I think, there is no reason left to purchase an HTC.

What about you guys out there?

Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.

I just bought this HTC M9pw for 5 dollars, and the passcode is locked. I tried doing a factory reset, and the recovery mode is just giving me a red triangle, and I don't know what to do. Is there any other way of factory resetting it by connecting it to a computer, or is there a way to fix this Recovery Mode issue?

Thank you very much in advance, any help is really appreciated.

What can I do with it on T-Mobile now cellular wise, I'm getting conflicting messages.

I recently bought an htc 601. after wiping the device, the phone stopped supporting APKs, what can I do to download apps to this phone, and use it as a daily device?

I feel that the company need to let go of the mobile division given how lackluster their phones these days.

Motorola did it with their Motorola Mobility division bought by Google and now under Lenovo. Lenovo were able to turn the oldest mobile phone in the world into something relevant (and profitable) in major markets.

Although I couldn't say the same with Nokia, at least HMD did try.

In another dimension, perhaps Apple should buy HTC and compete head-to-head with Samsung. Take back all the previous HTC phone designers and I'm pretty sure it will *again* beat Samsung.

PS: I miss this kind of headline
In Q3 2011 HTC Corporation became the largest smartphone vendor in the U.S. with 24 percent market share, ahead of Samsung's 21 percent, Apple's 20 percent and BlackBerry's 9 percent.

Hello everyone, I would like to modify the cellular network antennas of my HTC P3470 in order to make it a sort of resto-mod, the current antenna only supports GRPS (2G) and I would like to convert it to a 4G (LTE) antenna or even 4G+ if modification is possible, I would also possibly like to add a Wi-Fi antenna because this phone does not have one, in any case I thank you for your advice,

The Lumia 635 may have slightly more powerful specs in terms of processing power, but the Lumia 521 had similar or even lower (to some degree) specs to the HD2, but yet, that could run WP8.0.

I really think Microsoft's business decisions screwed the HTC HD2 big time. HTC HD2 was beast even compared to the iPhone 3GS only to be hampered by the OS. Luckily, XDA and other independent developers worked on Android, Windows Phone, MeeGo, Firefox OS, and Ubuntu ROMs which work on this phone and this phone could theoretically support Android Nougat.

I am looking for how it is possible to get custom rom for htc U23 pro or if there will be any android 14 update for it as it has a modern chipset which supports android 14.

Hi, I'm highly considering buying the U24 Pro and am located in Australia. Can anyone suggest the most trustworthy sellers? I had a look at Kogan/Dick Smith, but was worried as it said third party seller and assume it was going to come in from Hong Kong, which I've gotten a phone from before and it was mostly okay. And I read customer/postage service directly from the HTC website is pretty awful. If there's an ebay seller directly from Taiwan that would be appreciated (I couldn't find one myself). I'm probably being overly paranoid so advice would be great, thanks.

Also to anyone who has the phone, how sharp do the edges feel when you hold it? Is it noticeable?

Hello, I am trying to unlock this old phone for a friend to see if I can pull the old photos and messages off for him. The only problem is the tools needed to exploit it and get the S-ON to S-OFF are all gone behind long-dead websites. Does anyone have these tools still or any advice how I can get into the phone?

For me, the HTC U Ultra was credited as one of the worst HTC fails of all time and one that Precipitated the downfall, but it seemed like HTC was at a downward trajectory even before that. I heard critics such as MKBHD lambasting the phone for being a waste of space (2 months later, the S8 came into fruition with a better processor, 835 vs 821, and bigger screen), so I do believe this is the phone which accelerated the downfall of HTC mobile.

I also knew of phones like the HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Evo 3D, HTC First, HTC ChaCha, all of which have terrible reputations, but in reality, I don't believe they Precipitate the downfall.

For all of you guys wondering, HTC is still a fair player in the market

My love for the phone brand was when they brought out the M9

Once recording at a festival with a addon mic the camera was a hell of a beauty! The lasers were insane! The depth and color and it was so awesome

Now I have the u23 and to be honest it's all gone it's slow, sometimes not even saving pics and the lasers are dull and the Mic even worse!!

Why, what happened to the flagship??

Jus what the title says. Instead of buying a HTC phone from BITD I want a launcher for it.

I found an old htc desire 828 I had. I tried turning it on but it didn't go past the bootup logo, I had to wait until it just ran out of battery. And then I tried factory resetting the thing and this is what it shows. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I have an HTC wildfire s and I can't seem to get it to make a call. It detects the sim card but it can't connect to the nearest signal tower.

Does anyone have the firmware of it?

Just turned on my old phone from like 2013. Wanting to use it for something. However it will not let me use the play store. It just gives me an error message. Bit confused to why this is? Does anyone know how to resolve it. I would like to be able to download some apps on it…

I have an unlocked HTC one m10 and can't log in to my Google account on the phone. I think this might be because the android version is stuck at v 5. the system is reporting there are no updates available, but the device is compatible with version 8.

how/where can I download the update and install manually?

(fwiw HTC Sense 6.0 and connects to HTC Sync Manager on desktop)

Hey all, so about 10 years ago I used the HTC DNA phone. Somehow throughout the years the phone was never lost and I always had it with. Well 10 years later, I found the phone tucked away in a drawer somewhere, and I am interested in seeing the old photos and stuff in the phone. However, I forgot the pass code to the phone and I tried many different patterns. I only have 1 more attempt before the phone deletes all data and restarts, but I really want to see what is inside the phone. Does anyone know how to by pass the lock screen without the passcode and access the photos inside the phone? Or any apps that can unlock the screen?

Anyone have a list or know where I can find a list to the music on the phone? I used to listen to the music on it as a kid on my mom's phone and want to see if my taste in music grew from there lol.

edit: found the list, and yes it somewhat grew from there haha

Does someone has a schematic/boardview of HTC One M7? Or atleast know which transistor are those for AON_CHRG?
