HTC Bravo

I couldn't find a topic on this, searching HTC Bravo, "HTC Bravo" and just Bravo came with nothing.
Is anyone else looking forward to the bravo? It's basically a Nexus one with hard keys, 720p recording and Sense UI.
Personally, I prefer Sense UI to stock android, even though the hero is still on 1.5 I don't see how in any way Stock Android 2.0/1 offers any better or nicer features than Sense UI.
The Bravo should be announced next week and come out in March. I can't wait for it to be honest and will be upgrading from my G1 ASAP.

The Bravo will be released in Barcelona Monday or Tuesday.
It will get a new name, can't tell what tho.

100%, Just keep following my Twitter

I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK but what about T-Mobile USA.
I like the Nexus One but that stupid plan you need with it to get it at $180 on T-Mobile is what I hate.
Hopefully the Bravo will be around the same price and maybe even cheaper
I also take the Sense UI over stock android. I mean look at the Hero's ancient Android 1.5 Sense UI.
*7 screens
*Very pretty and helpful widgets with cool animations
*Multi touch in browser, gallery, and mail before Google pushed it to the Nexus One (excluding the mail)
*FLASH in browser.
*LOADS of eye candy. I mean everything I go into has eye candy. Even the darn menus.
If HTC SENSE can run smooth on my old MT3G with only 192 mb of RAM and a 528 mhz processor just think how an Android 2.2 HTC SENSE will run on a 512 mb RAM and a 1 ghz processor.
Plus the Bravo will come with all the goodies of Android 2.1
*Newer Market
*Google Maps with Multi touch and navigation
* The other goodies that I can't remember.
HTC will probably make their own version of the 3D gallery and maybe even make their own version of live wallpapers.
Plus all those Nexus One users will want a port of Bravo.
Which is harder to port: Stock Android or a Custom UI Android?

Custom UI is harder to port than Stock Android.
Am hoping this will come out on o2-uk ASAP. As for the leaked brochure saying "april" things can change since then and all sources seem to point at March.

It sure does look like the Nexus, but with a few other features.

Am I looking forward to it, you bet I am. When I saw the specs for the HTC HD2 last year, I was salvating for the whole of the UK. But then you had the well documented camera glitch et al, and the shear size of the handset in my hands just put me off. Alas, then came news of the "Bravo", and it looks like the 3 year wait for well specked smartphone is almost at an end - I can't believe I've turned my nose up at the many offerings that have been cast my way - diamond 1&2, Samsung Omnia 1 & 2...the list goes on.

THIS IS THE BRAVO
THIS IS THE LEGEND.
All I got to say....F**k the Nexus One. With the Bravo (same specs but looks SOOOOO much sexier and has HTC sense) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked. Same with the Legend (A powerful phone but it is a budget phone. Great for it's price but It is not going to be weak like the hero or the g1/mt3g. More RAM and a better processor.) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked.
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK and at least one (if not both) of the phones is going to T-Mobile USA.

Heres to hoping TMo releases this phone soon, stateside! I've been waiting since december to utilize my full upgrade. BRING IT ON!

I hear you. I have been itching to upgrade with multiple upgrades available on my accounts. I dont want to fork over full price for the Galaxy Nexus like I did with the previous two and want to actually use my upgrade this year. I hope tmobile releases this on 4/4 .

TmoNews posted an article about April 22nd release date. Still all rumors, but here's the hoping.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/03/htc-one-s-release-date-revealed-as-monday-april-22nd/

Release Date of Germany
The Release Date for Germany ist 2. April for all HTC ONE Devices.

I'm just itching to get my hands on the One S. I had already waited patiently for the GNex, but was sorely disappointed with it and decided to wait for HTC's next wave and I'm sure I won't be disappointed. HTC always make such high quality phones. They really are Quietly Brilliant!

Is anodized a cheaper process? If so I would think the Grey version may be cheaper than the black version outright. Or maybe that is why Tmobile USA is getting the grey version.

That's possible. Both finishes are extremely high quality but the micro arc oxidation process is more rare in smartphones.
I actually think I like the grey version better. Looks reminiscent of the Nexus One, which is still probably my favorite Android design from HTC.

@Hgaara - I asked a similar question in another XDA thread & so far, it doesn't appear TMobile US is getting the black MAO model. I posed my original question as I did because I found several sources which say only the gray anodized model is coming to TMo, although the information gathered so far is anecdotal. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

FWIW, I also refer you to the gradient anodized model which was featured in the leaked video of 3/27/2012 from a YouTube poster who said his unbranded [pre-release] phone was a T-Mobile model.​

Seems like the USA version of One, while still amazing, are kinda gimped. I wonder why no MOA version for tmobile.

Annoyed at having to wait for ICS or JB?

The press anti-Android spin this year has moved on from Fragmntation myths, to upgrade timescales. I would like to ask WHY Android owners expect to get upgrades the moment they are announced...
I mean if you wanted prompt updates, then the ONLY way is to buy a network-free Nexus handset. If you cheapskate and buy a network subsidised handset, why should you expect to get it the same time as Google can do without any hurdles in the way... If you buy a network-locked Nexus device, the network operator will want to get involved, if you buy a non-Nexus device locked to a network, then you not additionally have to wait for the hardware manufacturers tweaks.
This really isn't rocket science, so I am wondering why users expectations are so out of kilter with reality....
I don't own a Nexus device (although I do have a Nexus7 on pre-order), and whilst all my devices now have ICS, I wasn't losing sleep until ICS arrived, as in the Android world, you don't exactly lose very much, all Android apps works on all OS versions (pretty-much). Sure you might mis out on OS features, but not much else...

And what was the point of all that? You got pre-ordered a Nexus 7. Good for you, but the rest is clear to all of us. And i have seen people gettin mad about updates because the manifacture gave a specific date and didn't hold on the promise.....

everyone is different. Some are still happy with froyo and some others want to see jb on their phones as soon as possible most probably to test the project butter. Every release brings some improvement and humans have tendency to get the "improved version" of anything as soon as possible

Agreed. LG owners of models bought a year ago, which stated in the literature of LG they would get ics are still waiting. It was only recently we got gingerbread on some and that's why some get annoyed.
Manufacturers should honour their commitments or simply stop promising what they can't or won't deliver.

Nope they are quite common at least in UK, here anyone can get phones subsidised by their carrier provided they take a contract for x amount of months. Often you get the phone for "free" but sometimes pay a percentage yourself.
Or you can buy from a third party and they can offer phones on contract with your chosen carrier that are also subsidised which is what I chose to do last year.

I thought that but it isn't quite correct as LG told me that if your phone is supplied by your carrier in UK it is they who put the updates out.
Apparently LG send them it and the carrier adds anything they want before offering it to the customer.

I just had to check this to be sure but Ireland and UK both follow same system which is European, whereby carriers release updates for the phones purchased direct from them.
If your phone is getting updates from manufacturer yet is using stock shop bought rom you're probably either lucky or got it from a source other than your carrier as apparently it is supposed to be the same as in UK.
Edit: by an odd coincidence the Irish times also mentioned this being the case http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/0712/1224319858525.html so you might just be very lucky

Well its happened with my X8, and my current phone, the XPERIA Play.
When I first got the phone there was NO carrier bloat ware on it?!
Both phones. But on my Dads X8 (which we bought on the same day, same shop) it had the bloatware.
But when he updated his phone there was no bloat ware, so I'm guessing he was also getting the update via the manufacturer?

Most people don't care or even know what version of Android they are running. As long as they can still download their favorite apps they don't care if they are a few versions behind. Think of all the people out there still running XP on their desktops since it still gets the job done.

[DISCUSSION] [S4 Android 4.3] Features, Issues and More

Today HTC One started getting OTA updates to Android 4.3 in Taiwan.
This is the first time that some other manufacturer has pushed updates before Samsung.
As we know Samsung has (un)officially announced that 4.3 will be coming to S3 and S4 in October but still nothing has leaked.
Samsung may be testing it hard to deliver a fully baked firmware with ZERO defects or they have focused on Note 3 and left the S4 behind as it was done with S3 which is still waiting for Android 4.2 which was released by Google an year(~11 Months) ago.
What do you guys think, is S4 no more a flagship device and it's starting to descend?
Source: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/24/htc-one-android-4-3-update-starts-rolling-out-in-taiwan/
EDIT: Sammobile is about to leak pre release version of Android 4.3 on S4.
Stay Tuned..

Doesn't matter much to me. I hope it comes soon, but in reality, it's likely to have some additional lock down Knox type crap, so I'll just stick with GE or CM or AOSP ROMs until Nexus 5 arrives.

Nobody cares about HTCrap anyway, last time they released an update it fecked up their devices and had to be pulled... Let Sammy take their time to not be a fail like HTC.

For the first time I have bought a phone on contract..
Now I get jealous every time Rogers releases a new phone and am not on their network.

S4, Note 2 and S3 are all getting Android 4.3 next month, so whats the fuss about?
Htc actually has beaten Samsung a few times at update release times. The Htc Sensation got Android4.0 ICS just before the GS2 and if I'm not mistaken, the Htc One X got Android4.1.2 just before the GS3? Can't remember, but this isn't the 1st time they beat Samsung and I am okay with that as it's always neck and neck.
Great news for Htc One users.

I much rather wait a few weeks longer.
HTC one is a great phone but HTC is crap. period.

How is HTC Crap? They certainly have had some issues before, but they made huge advancements with the HTC One. And now they are pushing 4.3 a month before Samsung (doesn't matter to me as I'm running the GE Rom).

HTC maybe pushing 4.3 now, but not everywhere will get it straight away, UK for one will be waiting weeks before they see it, and by that time Samsung should have the 4.3 update out for at least the S4, well Samsung do want us all to buy the Galaxy Gear lol , so the 4.3 update should come pretty quick.
As for the S3 & Note II they also shouldn't be to far behind neither with the 4.3.
Now onto 4.4 KitKat.
HTC have a nasty habit of not updates their previous flagships, look at the One S for example, it's not getting 4.2 & the One X most likely won't get anything else now neither.
I wouldn't be suprised if the One doesn't get 4.4 Kitkat, as this will be saved for their flagship next year unless Google bring out 4.5 or something before next spring.
And if the One does get 4.4 Kitkat, it probably be also the last update this phone receives.
Where as the S4 & Note III will get Kitkat, plus whatever else comes out afterwards to.

Who cares?
I'd rather use a polished out, relatively bug-free 4.2.2 than a bug-riddled, crippled and barely usable 4.3 just for the sake of being first.

It's normal. You can't invent something new without having copied something from someone. As long as it's not copied 1:1 and modified I'm totally alright with it. I even encourage people to do that if the have the permission or opportunity.

If i remember well, htc one was available few month before s4.
So finally htc pushed the update later than sammy.

Lollipop update?

As far as I remember HTC promised to give all the One series phones Android 5 ( Lollipop ) in Q1 2015.
Anyone with connections with HTC know if and when approximately the update will come ?

Lol, what would you do if Lollipop still wouldn't be released? Throwing your phone away, because you don't want the previous OS/version anymore?!

I have got this phone since it's release, back in 2013, it's getting old + the forum is kinda dead + HTC has never given this phone full support, it doesn't even have an official released RUU.
Don't get me wrong i love this phone, i just want to get something more up-to-date and with better specs.

That would've been strike #2 by HTC.
First of all, they should be more than thankful for us putting up with their faulty engineering ( hairline cracks ).
At least they could keep the phone up to date and tweak its performance as much as they can as a "payback" for the hairline cracks.
Second that's breaking their own officially given promise about bringing Lollipop to the One Mini.

Cracks weren't the issue here! And for best performance you should use a custom rom (I never used an official rom with all the google-crap, but wait for a working Lollipop that hopefully will be reduced to minimal).

no lollipop for htc one mini...
HTC canncelled their plan to update the mini 2 to lollipop. So I highly doubt we are getting it :/

Lawsuits pending...

I like how Lolipop is sutable to run even on 1Ghz singlecore 512mb ram devices, but HTC cannot make it for mini versions of it's flagship cuz of and i quote - 'technical constraints with the device's ageing hardware configuration.'
What a lot of bull! another marketing strategy from HTC... THROW AWAY YOUR ''OLD'' MINI AND MINI 2 DEVICES AND BUY 'ONE MINI 3' WHICH WILL BE SOON AWAILABLE AND HAVE LOLIPOP!
I am officially saying that i WAS a HTC fan (my last 4 devices was htc's = hero - desire - sensation - one mini) but seeing what a lot of bulls they have done for consumers(even more than apple) on it's devices next device im considering some other company than HTC!
Sorry but they have finnaly lost me with it stupid money making scheme rather than thinking for consumer ! :crying: This is too much now!

Guess who won't be buying any HTC device. FU HTC.

I would not write it off yet. HTC UK just posted new updates page here . One mini is listed there so it is supposed to receive additional update at some point.

It's gonna stay like that.
Devices that have something coming up describe the level of completion if you check

At least it is listed even if no update is currently in the process. My understanding is that devices listed are supposed to receive update sometime in the future. Others just fall into "Unlisted" category...

You're dreaming buddy.
HTC replied to me on Twitter again today.
There will be no Lollipop from HTC for the One Mini.
It's final, final, final.
