HTC is listening, they released an update for our wi-fi problem and fixed a few more bugs. We all need to repeatedly email HTC and post on their FB wall. They have to fix this.
Accompany this thread with your complaints.

Seriously acting like dicks won't make the fix come any faster they have multiple phones they are creating updates for and they are developing new ones as week speak for next year and they are probably working on the next version of sense. Why don't you fix it yourself if it's that big of a deal.

This is the wrong attitude to take. If my phone is shipped with software deficiencies, I expect the company that made it to fix them. Nobody said they were going to act like dicks. I for one have been nothing but respectful in my communications with htc.

Sorry to say, but the only **** here is you, sir. I didn't pay $550 for a device just so I can fix it myself. If no one says anything, HTC won't take notice. You can take your attitude elsewhere.

Just gotta say I agree. Flooding their inboxes only slows their ability to help. While I do agree we need to contact them about this issue, we don't need to spam them like the OP encourages.
They are most likely already working on the issue.
Well I gotta say, this is not the way to go about things and this certainly isnt the type of threads we need on XDA...

Actually, about a year ago there was a petition against HTC for them to become more dev friendly... They agreed after a while. But then again they locked the bootloader on us and kept s-on anyway for this phone.

Htcdev is just Window dressing. They should not have locked bootloaders in the first place. Android is supposed to be open. I'm sick of jumping through hoops.

I can agree and disagree
With the option of an s-off bootloader to the regular user can be disastrous. Let's face it people can be idiots and they would blame it on HTC when they eff up their phones
With htcdev unlock as it is, its pretty much impossible to brick permanently with most phones. With s off however one simple mistake can be disastrous

what about if its cool ,popular and a better phone?.... millions own it already not a hard thing to find out why its such a success.
many of the people at my work place own one.. and none of them even know whats xda.. so is being unlocked still the key to that success?
If you don't have one then you don't know what your missing. S3 is just good in every department!! Say no more cuzzy!!

I have an S3 on my account, I got it for a buddy of mine. I've spent a good deal of time playing with it and can't see the appeal at all. It just isn't anywhere near as nice as the HOX. 2GB of RAM, that's it. Everything else about it sucks compared to the HOX. My 1GB is working just fine for me.

Bingo u hit the nail on the head. People complain about the lack of removable battery. Ummmmmmm maybe 10% of pple would actually carry a spare. IPhone doesn't remove battery and I'm sure we're all aware of how well that does. And as far as storage goes, yea it wouldn't hurt to atleast have 32gb. But I havent filled 16. So consider me happy.

Then you should ask them. And couple people isn't everyone.
The main reason is: most users if they don't buy the iPhone they'll go for sammy because of the brand. You don't know much about a smartphone but you at least know they make good tv's, computers, refrigerators, you name it. Where else do you see the HTC logo? Many people didn't hear about it. So, obviously pick the Samsung instead.

What is the big deal about which smartphone you use? I would bet that most people on XDA are pretty well clued up about phone tech and so, money permitting, they will make an informed purchase, buying the phone that suits them best.
I own the SGS3 and yeah, I think it is top notch handset, but that doesn't mean I diss other handsets. I like to think I'm more evolved than that (though some of my pals would dispute that :laugh. If someone comes to me for smartphone buying advice, I will try my best to give an informed opinion based on my experience and their tech knowledge and needs...and quite often I'd send them down the iPhone route, not because I think it is a better phone (though Apple, whether you like it or not, make fantastic hardware, just a shame about the company ethos), but because it is probably the best phone for them.
Most on this particular thread will probably own an HTC...again good top noth handsets, but I personally avoid them due to a very bad customer service experience a couple of years ago (threads can be found elsewhere), but that doesn't stop me recommending them to others (though I do also relate my experiences). And many others on XDA will own a whole variety of other smartphones.
The point is, does it matter which phone you own? Yes, some people will spend a fortune on a top end handset just for bragging rights, but there's nothing worse than a 'phone snob'. Most of us on XDA buy what is best for us and are generally happy and if we're not, we switch.
You pays your (hard earned) cash and makes your (well informed) choice. Enjoy what you have, worry not what other think about it and be proud that you are part of XDA and have the knowledge to tinker with and give advice about your techie toys. Just don't get caught up in a 'mine's better than yours' debate.
Happy tinkering folks!

Still dont see the point of this. If HTC has built and developed the Sense UI, which they own. How are they not in their own to protect their own product? I am not saying I agree with HTC. But they will just blow off any remarks or such left for them in their twitter feed.

If there is a larger volume of people on them about this it may at least get then to give us a response as to why and possibly cause them to back off.

This isn't about aosp that's clear because the OEMS are obligated to release their kernel source and Google has no issues with their ROMs.
But this could affect Sony, Samsung, lg, and anyone else after they see we can be pushed over so easily their generosity may come to a screeching halt. People like mohan and seanz could end up on the receiving end of lawsuits if this slides. Our options for roms other than aosp could become stock only. I know you guys aren't so short sighted to think this couldn't affect us in detrimental ways.

Why they so worried about their ruu in the first place? After all they made their money on the selling of the phone. Not like they sell updates to customers. I am shocked apple doesn't do this LOL.

Yup, they sure do. I was working with HTC support on Bluetooth issues I was having last year, and mentioned I had read on "the internet" (didn't specify XDA) about certain devices being "blacklisted" in the phones's Bluetooth system files. He later contacted me, and said he could only find one mention of it on XDA Developers. It was a post I actually wrote, although I didn't want to fess up to it and admit I was rooted.
