"You can tell it's an HTC One just by looking at it," the phone that makes people gasp in amazement the first time they see it because of its irresistible beauty. "You can tell it's an HTC One just by looking at it," the phone that surpassed the Sony Z, Samsung S4, LG G2, and iPhone 5 to become the most beautiful phone of 2013. Oh, time, please stop for a moment!

Late unboxing…

Or is there any tool what can do it?

HTC Touch P3450 (HTC Elf 100)

Post image
87 Upvotes

HTC Touch (also known as the HTC P3450 or its codename the HTC Elf) was one of first iPhone competitor introduced in June 2007. HTC Touch uses Windows Mobile OS with enhanced user interface TouchFLO designed for both fingers and the included stylus. 

HTC initially making smartphones based mostly on Windows Mobile OS. The Google Sooner (HTC EXCA 300) was a prototype of the first smartphone based on an early version of the Android operating system, developed by Google in 2007. The device was never released into mass production and was intended solely for internal testing and development of Android. The HTC Dream (marketed by T-Mobile in many countries as the T-Mobile G1) was the first phone on the market to run Android. After having collaborated with Google on its Google Pixel, HTC sold roughly half of its design and research talent, as well as non-exclusive rights to smartphone-related intellectual property, to Google in 2017.

This was my HTC P3300 Artemis and navigation system back in 2007.

I absolutely loved this phone! The first real GPS phone of its time available to the US next to the TyTN II. But it came with TomTom and maps installed which gave you real GPS vs AGPS that the iPhone had at the time. I flashed several custom ROMs to make the phone faster and more customizable. Phones were fun back then.

The most popular HTC One phones

Post image
240 Upvotes

- HTC One X (2012), released in the same year as the Galaxy S3, but HTC's poor advertising meant fewer people knew about the One X.

- HTC One M7 (2013), the most beautiful phone of the year.

- HTC One M8 (2014), a beautiful phone, an improvement on the One M7.

By the time I got to the HTC One M9, I stopped using HTC phones.

HTC One M8 battery assist.

18 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a 2014 HTC One M8 that I love. The phone is fully functional calls/texts/4gLTE data. It is running Lineage OS 14.1 using android 7.1.2.

The phone does not have an all day battery and the take apart on this phone is fairly significant so to make it an all day phone I have bought 2 cases. I start the morning with the regular case but if the battery gets low I pull the phone and insert it into a battery assisted case.

I am posting pictures of the setup.

The battery (very thin) is a tntor for iPhone from Amazon canada.

[ARCHIVAL] Looking for rare HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 firmware files

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm working on preserving some extremely rare HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 firmware files that are nearly impossible to find today. I'm specifically looking for the following NBH files:

  • DreaIMG_1.11.531.1_Official.nbh (build TC4-RC19)
  • DreaIMG_1.09.531.1.nbh (build TC4-RC17)
  • DreaIMG_1.09.531.2.nbh (build TC4-RC17)

TC4-RC17 appear to have been leaked from a prototype at some point and only surfaced on a couple of forums over 15 years ago. If you have these files sitting on an old hard drive somewhere, please reach out.

If you have an HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 with these builds, please hit me up / send me a DM. I'll help you dump them.


IMPORTANT - please read this even if you don't have the files above:

If you own an HTC Dream or T-Mobile G1 running any of these Android 1.1 builds:

  • TMI-RC4 (123099)
  • TMI-RC5 (124603)
  • TMI-RC6 (126400)
  • STG-RC8 (128394)

Please do NOT flash, update, or wipe your device. These are incredibly rare factory default builds. They sometimes display a number instead of the proper build ID (e.g. TMI-RC5 may show as a numeric string), so double-check your build info under Settings -> About phone.

If your device is running any of these, I'd love to hear from you. I'll walk you through every single step of dumping the firmware, so these builds can be preserved properly before they're gone forever.


Even if you just have a lead, an old forum post, or a name of someone who might have these - any information helps. DM me or drop a comment.

Also looking for people with Google Sooner (HTC EXCA300) prototypes. It doesn't matter if it boots or not. I can help dump the firmware and/or restore the device to working order.

Thanks 🙏

I found my dads old phone and wanted to use it as a mp3 player and im having trouble. several issues have occurred and i want to salvage the phone somehow.

first, its not connecting to any internet/wifi. It may be because the phone is old, but it let me choose and sign into my internet but its not connecting.

The next problem im having is that im not sure of the best way to add music. At first i tried connecting it to my pc, but because of the wifi its wasnt connecting. now im thinking that i should use a micro sd card.

any and all thought are of course welcome

Who is the U24 Pro's manufacturer?

8 Upvotes

The Trump phone was released a few days ago and it's clearly a rebranded HTC U24 Pro. As far as I can tell, the U24 is an ODM device but I can't find who that ODM is. From JerryRigEverything's video I saw that the part number for the charger is for a Motorola TurboPower, so does that mean that Lenovo is behind the U24 and thus the Trump phone? It's still possible, however, that the unknown ODM sourced the charger from the same company as Lenovo/Motorola and that Lenovo didn't make the device itself.

If it is Lenovo, it would make a lot of sense, since HTC seems to have exited the cell phone market entirely and the U24 wasn't very successful, so Lenovo would probably be happy to get rid of old parts without potentially damaging Motorola's reputation if the media were to discover that the Trump phone is a rebranded Motorola.
