Do so at your own risk. If you do, you may be subject to arrest by the mattress tag police.   AJ

Ok just left walmart and basically performance was the same on both devices. As we headed to the back of the store both phones dropped to 3g but once we got back to within a few feet of the registers

Well, the phone whore in me forced me to get a gs4 this morning. So I have an HTC One on one line and a GS4 on the other, will run as many comparative tests as I can.

What I am trying to figure out is if there is away to use the facebook app with out it populating your blinkfeed and gallery with random facebook crap. I don't use facebook often but usually thats the best way for me to contact certain family members. I know I can disable it from blinkfeed but once I sign back on through the app, its there again, same with the gallery.

In blink feed, menu, topics and services, swipe over to the left side and turn off Facebook.

Never rooted... just never bothered to figure out how. Can't figure out why it's not supported to begin with.

 

Because Google has not updated the app yet.

 

Never rooted? that means you haven't experienced the bliss of a Viper Rom yet :o

I did that already but for whatever reason it wasn't sticking, anyway I just tried it again and its fine now. What about gallery pics though, how do you stop facebook from automatically showing pics in your gallery?

I haven't figured that one out yet, but if you figure it out I would like to know also.

Set up the IR blaster last night, was very easy, only took a couple of minutes. Configured it for my TV, cable box, and sound system, and it works great! One drawback for me is that it doesn't seem to know HD channels. If one of the shows you marked as favorite is coming up, you can click on it and it will go straight to that channel, but the SD version rather than the HD version. But that's likely more of an issue with Mediacom than anything.

 

HD seems to work fine with Comcast. Had my bro send me a couple screen shots. Looks like there's an option under TV Settings to prefer HD channels over SD (which you may have already seen). Hope this helps! :)

Yeah the trouble is it doesn't list the HD channels when it shows me the mediacon listings, so there's no HD to prefer... Which is why I think it's a mediacom issue. Or, it's not looking for the right channels, I'm not sure.

LOL, ok.

Just curious, has anyone found a way to remove/disable blinkered?

 

No way to remove it, in either case its really not as bad or annoying as I thought it would be.

I'm actually enjoying Blinkfeed, I love reading stories and having them ready all the time is pretty neat. I'm the type of consumer they were aiming for I guess. I love Blinkfeed, although I don't have it as my main homepage.

 

Another side note, this phone picks up LTE in place where the EVO LTE couldn't, driving to work today I got LTE about 5 times. Completely loving this phone.

Does anyone here with an HTC One also have an active iDEN line (or know someone with an active iDEN line)? If so, S4GRU staff would appreciate it if you could run an experiment by swapping the iDEN line SIM into the One and checking for LTE connectivity.

This is just a small observation, but I noticed that when you get the phone (or atleast when I received it) the sim removal tool didn't come in the box. Would you need to have the Removal tool to take out the SIM? (I've never dealt with MicroSim cards) I know someone with an iDEN account.

Here's another minor nitpick: When you turn the volume down to the minimum possible setting without turning it off, it is still not that quiet. I had hoped to be able to enjoy the phone's speakers at a very quiet level without disturbing people outside my office.

any recommendations on cases not called Otterbox?

I got the one from HTC, the dip flip. I'm looking to see if any other ones out there seems nice. I'm liking the Dip Flip though. There are many bumper cases in amazon, for $10 or less.

 

Now if you're looking for protection then otterbox is your best bet.

An OtterBox is ridiculous. It is like a chastity belt for your handset.

 

If you need a case, go with the official HTC version:

I went for a clear tpu case on ebay for $5, I get the protection while still being to able to appreciate the design of the phone. I really hate screen protectors but I will have to bite the bullet and get one since I don't want my screen to get scratched.

Give it time and one of the devs @ XDA will likely have a way to remove it. You could just set a different panel as your home screen and never look at it....viperboy already as a working ROM up, there's a unlock/root toolkit as well. Hoping some of the other top HTC devs head over as well (Scott, aamikam, mikeyxda, etc)

Well, blinkfeed is stupid. Yay lots of pictures for illiterate people! Yeeehaw!

 

I hate the flipboard/blinkfeed/current/anything else with a picture because people are too lazy to read.

 

I've shuffled that over into oblivion.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
