HTC First - User Reviews

  • pls up to now im using htc first but my prblm is dat de screen of mine is broken i dont know where iget it pls how can i get de new htc first pls asist me tanks

  • at first change your HTC First Custom Rom to enable hotspot

  • HTC First for enable hotspot flash custom rom

  • u r HTC First phone is dead?

  • at first time unlock your HTC First phone

  • Did you even realise how fast this phone discontinued before buying it? And for what reason?

  • HTC first how to jio sim use

  • How can use HTC first 4g let phone in jio sim

  • my mobile htc fast problem dead plz soulde

  • I just got an HTC fitst unlocked and cannot use the Bluetooth, WiFi hotspot features. Every time I tried it gives me a message saying to try again later.... Please help me...

  • Tape *#*#4636#*#* information phone and set

  • still didnt work after installing appcut.see no option in choosing 2g,or 3g.is getting me f**kd

  • I really like the phone, and I have been searching all over my country for it but I cannot find it. It should not have been discontinued.

  • How to transfer files using Bluetooth: Unfortunately the Bluetooth architecture for the HTC first only allows the transfer of contacts and some select files. However you can extend the range of allowable file transfers using the app Bluetooth File Transfer by Medieval (available on GooglePlay). It's not the most fancy app in terms of interface, for those obsessed with gloss, but it does the job. Just install the app and turn on Bluetooth. Ensure the app is open at all times during transfer. It's the only way you can successfully transfer files between phones.

  • How to switch between 2g, 3g and LTE: - It's annoying that the Htc first does not provide the option to switch between bandwidths. But this can be easily resolved. Download and install the app AnyCut from Google play. Open the app when it's done installing. From the main screen you should see a big button reading 'New Activity'. Press it to bring up a menu, from which you should select 'Activities'. Scroll down to the option 'Phone Info' and save upon confirmation. The shortcut will be created on your home screen. Click the shortcut on the home screen and you'll find the different types of bands listed. You can choose from there anyone you require. Note the following: GSM is for 2g, WCDMA for 3g and LTE for 4g. Alternatively you could dial the short code *#4636#* or *#*#4636#*#* but you'll come to find the shortcut is much more convenient.

  • How to set ringtone: -You cannot set ringtone directly from the settings menu. What you have to do is to go to your default music player and longpress the track you want to set as ringtone. From the drop down menu, you should see the option 'Set as ringtone'. And that's that! If you have a file manager, you could also locate the mp3 file from storage and again longpress to bring available options. Select 'Set as ringtone'. Done.

  • Pls what's the name for the app

  • my htc first 3g network does not work

  • If you want to factory reset your phone (which I don't recommend) then just turn your phone off, then back on. While your phone is booting (works with all Android products) hold the power and volume up buttons like you're taking a screenshot, and it'll take you to a system menu where you can navigate to the option there.

  • Shall we get 4.2 or something?

  • Perhaps in Pakistan we Pakistani can't enjoy new HTC phones but here in Karachi I bought it for 16k in used.responsible price for an amazing performer,used as primary phone for about a month and enjoyed it. Nearly no lag no battery draining ,superb ppi. Paisy sahe Jaga lay.

  • I have now used my HTC first for 4-5 months. If you are not into latest and greatest android then it is probably the best screen size phone for anyone. I needed: 1. Best speaker volume 2. Call recording 3. Stock android 4. Nice screen 5. Good battery backup 7. Tethering on Straight talk 6. Expandable storage Except for point 6, all other points are covered nicely by HTC first. I am hoping to buy a backup htc first in case. Pity that it didnt sell much otherwise we would have surely had kitkat ROMs for this by now. I switched to a HTC one, but the call /voice recording didnt happen well, so i gave that to my wife. For tethering on straight talk, i had to edit the telephony.db file and now i can enjoy 2.5 GB of monthly thethering on 4g LTE :-)

  • This is almost literally the perfect phone for me. The design is amazingly simple and minimal, which was one of the big things I was looking for. I also liked the idea of a "small" Android mid-range phone. Combine that with basically pure vanilla 4.1.2 Android, and it's a really sweet package. Although it only has a dual core processor, it seems to be fairly responsive and quick in most everything I've done with it so far. I had a Nexus 4 for a while last year, and the HTC First does have some noticeable lag/choppiness when it comes to things like Google Maps when compared to higher-end phones such as that. The camera is also slightly below par, although in my opinion, a lot of people are spoiled with phone cameras these days. Basically, what I mean by that is this: the camera on this might be noticeably worse than flagship device cameras, but it's also probably 200x better than the dumbphone camera I was using before. For my purposes, I pretty much just wanted a decent phone primarily for texting, calling, checking email, and the occasional web browsing or app usage. For the price (got it brand new for $135 on eBay), I think this is one of the best phones out there, especially if you're looking for a phone with vanilla Android. It's just a shame that it was never successful on the market. Now the only thing is to port newer versions of Android to it, and maybe try to fix the camera through software tweaks. Even without those things, though, I would definitely recommend the HTC First.

  • Best Fone i ever used...:D

  • You can't get it in RSA, i bought my HTC First on Ebay and i'm happy with my phone

  • camera and processing seems good but I dont see FMRadio APP(tuner based).

  • Were can I find this device in South Africa.

  • sir if u don mind...plzzzzz tell me how its camera work...and battery?

  • Very nice phone, look is very good, I want to buy but not available in India. Anybody tell me this phone is available in India.

  • fairly it's more beautiful than iphone 5c

  • Iphone 5c looked like HTC First (released in April 2013) NOT HTC First Looked like Iphone 5c. Very comfortable to hold. Only downside is the lack of support by at&t & htc on this underestimate Phone.

  • Is this Apple iPhone 5c?

  • Yes that was an awsome experience to have that in your hand

  • compare to other mobile htc is better , and smooth touch and capacitive touch compare to samsung galaxy mobile , the proocessor speed also will be high ,when iam connecting to my htc mobile the battery back up wil be high , the operating system is user defined operating system

  • now I know why young fb user declined.its beginning to annoy users, made the phone loose its update support. the good phone that people hate :(. update it to android 4.3 with the option to remove fbhome completely.

  • This is a device very beautiful and fast... HTC know create smartphones perfect.... I like HTC first

  • same spec with Motorola G. accept the 4.3in screen vs. 4.5. but the first is still on 4.1 jelly. whereas motoG have 4.3jelly. hope the HTC first gets at least a 4.3 last update, if they discontinued it.

  • The mobile htc phone touch pad is simple and easy as like a iphone , Main disadvantage is the batter back up , if we are using 3 hrs continue with net then the battery will dies

  • Ask marko Zuckerterg to sponsor some developer to port jellybean 4.3 or kitkat 4.4, to fix their failure experiment. Then we'll consider buying the FIRST to help HTC save on some lost :) in sales...

  • likes this this mobile

  • I have the phone. It's really easy to turn off Facebook home, which gives you stock Android.

  • has anyone rooted this - uninstalled facebookhome completely (using root uninstaller) then install apex/nova launcher, any problem ie, force closed apps? facebookhome launcher might uninstall some file needed from stock google system. anyone tried. i'm buying this.

  • i have to buy

  • i will buy this phone

  • true its decent for 2011

  • This phone has decent specs. I wonder why it did not do well?

  • i like

  • Yes, I recently just got mine and i love it. It hasnt froze or lagged on me at all. I love mine and recommend it to everyone.

  • You mean Butterfly S lol ?

  • htc phones you can blindly believe best quality man.

  • hey hiiii wanted to ask whether i should purchase this phone or no. pls suggest.

  • The worst HTC ever,Facebook suggests and htc pay the price,like htc sense is bad or something

  • HTC phones are good, but it's true that they lack service center that's why I'm not sure if I will buy Butterfly.

  • where are i can get this cellphone and kindly mention the model no.?

  • DO NOT BUY any of the HTC phones, they DO NOT have service center near your place, and they take minimum 12days to repair your cell.

  • I Just Ordered This Phone But After Reading These Reviews I'm Considering Changing My Mind. Y'all Need To Upgrade It To Make It A UI Sense Like The Regular HTC's. The HTC Vivid Was By Far The Best Phone!

  • Why it has been removed from the HTC Official site? And no beats audiophile..

  • Good but why the battery is non-removable?

  • when it will trade in indonesia? I want it !! :3

  • this is the best phone i have ever had it is so cool

  • The htc first and the htc one mini will have similar specs right

  • DID Nova 3 work fine in this bad boy

  • There are way better phones available with that kind of price.

  • would you tell me how?????????

  • Sounds like a fine name for you.

  • people may think more time to buy bcz micro sim

  • Att offers this phone for 0.99$$$ with 2 year contract

  • well wats its price nd does it supports video calling ???

  • HTC 1st is new brand

  • Hi Maddy, Could u tell me the best way to unlock this phone. And after unlock can i install updates from htc,google..etc. Please let me know i've bought this phone.

  • Successively unlocked Boot-loader & Rooted.

  • hummmmmmmm..... d fone is afterall ok

  • This is still a good phone. You can remove the facebook launcher and use it as a pure android device.

  • Good specs ,fb home can be turned off , stock Android is present , shame that it only has a 16GB otherwise it would have been a good mid ranger

  • You think why this phone costs 340 EUR while HTC one costs 600 EUR? Facebook is going to be more public and ordered this phone to HTC. Please have a look at the logoes at the back of the phone.

  • Htc should not yield to zuckerbergs stupid ideas anymore.This phone has been spoiled by facebook ui. htc should stop putting it on this good hardware. Instead put Sense UI in phones which are under production. also give updates to those that were sold with facebook ui to make it sense ui.

  • Name should be "HTC Crappy", got it??

  • Does it need 4 GB of ram?

  • It's an experiement that's why its HTC first...LOL

  • I do not see anything spectacular in this phone beside a long battery life. With 16gb (non expandable) memory and 1gb RAM, its definitely a looser. What are the guys in HTC thinking of. is this an experiment?

  • Too bad they don't sale this phone outside America... iT COULD make a HUGEE sucess if it's sold to Facebook addicted persons... Also i heard that it could be rooted and used as a ordinary smartphone not only as FB phonee :) ...

  • Well if the 2GB ram and 13mp camera are cheaper or same price with 1GB ram 5mp camera I might consider buying it. Unfortunately it won't happen mate.....the only real is clone/copy Chinese made which is poor quality or even fake 2GB detect(reality 512mb) and 13mp no autofocus.

  • hi ja compare with s3 micromax dont have a such good facility

  • In love with build qaulity first smart fone i lyk, bring it to us all hTC not just ATnT.

  • wat a fooool man have u ever seen these type of smart phones!

  • Chacha and Salsa had facebook keys(button) which was a little annoying.But they had Sense UI. Chacha sold well because it was a qwerty android phone .While salsa was a touch phone. In this htc first there is no sense UI.It has only facebook UI, turning it into a facebook gadget, not the typical htc android.You can disable the facebook UI. But you will get only the stock android UI, not the sense UI .

  • HTC chacha was also Facebook phone which was biggest hit and sold record number of set.

  • wow! 1Gb ram really?and 5mp cam This is history...who buys this PIECE OF CRAP.it's 2gb ram and 13mp camera Time

  • nice phone

  • I don't think you are a real htc fan.We cannot think of a an htc without Sense UI.Though you can disable facebook UI, what you get is stock android UI.Then whats the point in buying this as there are better android phones in the market.

  • haters may hate this phone is far beyond your logic go and play around the phone.. believe me you'll speak different things... I played around this phone today... I'm gonna buy it

  • go to hell! facbook ui!!

  • Why this phone? What makes this phone qualified to be in the market at all? Do u really have to produce for the sake of it? I guess u wanna give us value for money. I haven't used my W8x phone for long enough, now u have several over it!

  • We care.This is a freak phone. mutated by facebook gene. it cannot live like htc's usual sense interface androids or not even like a normal android smart phone.

  • Sure , facebook UI spoiled a good phone.

  • HTC android without Sense UI is nothing. It like any other android phone. If this model had Sense UI and and an sd card slot it would have been the best midranger of htc ,since htc one sv with better specs has not been released in India.htc is deliberately avoiding msd slot. it has put 16 gb internal memory with msd slot upto 32 gb in htc amaze ,htc vivid and htc velocity for at&t.

  • Its work flawlessly why its not working on Pakistan? its all depend on your internet connection if its good all skype facebook and other apps are working very fine..!

  • i wana use HTC mobile for skype n facebook.does it work properly here in pakistan?

  • boooooooo htc!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • we get a lot of these devices trying hard to be game changers. well il tell you. this is not one!. go back to the drawing board mark

  • If HTC make this phone with Dual sim support,I will buy one.Still The Best Phone with good Pocketability for Single sim users!

  • Facebook should know beeter than too MESS UP our android phones with this WORTHLESS GARBAGE!!

  • Android UI is still best/ ths FB UI is just pure ruBish!!! RUBISH!!

  • Device Manufactures should sue Facebook!!!!!

  • i bet my HTC One x that this piece of crap will flop! realy!, il bet my HTC One x!

  • dumb idea! This is just like the time when they tried to put out a twitter phone. STUPID!

  • superb

  • Only white color is glossy

  • Who cares what you think, bet it sells heaps, at that price just make it for all not just AT&T OK!. Us other countries want it to you know.

  • i have been using xperia s and we know that xperia phones have deep facebook inegration features. but I only enable few of those features because it is already enough for me.. But to actually have a phone with facebook environment, really unnecessary.

  • this is the best for pure android stock without using nexus device

  • So HTC. No memory expansion slot.

  • Hi, I own a xperia S phone, most or some of us know xperia phones also have deep facebook integration. I personally don't enable most of it's feature. Some widgets, timescape for FB and the FB app itself is just enough for me. So I don't really see the need to purchase this phone

  • This wud be Facebooks first LAME idea! imagine how lame it would be if you had FB all over ur phone! pssssssss! crap!!!

  • This my Friends is another USELESS DEVICE and will surely FLOP!// SERIously, why buy this for the face book home UI??? ADNROID RULES!

  • i dont like this phone.Especialy because it doesnt have UI sense and because it is too expensive for his features and performance.

  • NO problem if FB Home UI, it's very awesome, Besides, if you don't the FaceBOOK launcher, you can replace with apex, and a lockscreen... which will be Amazing for me!

  • This phone doesn't have Sense(UI).So do the makers.

  • I want this phone not for facebook home, but for pure Android

  • why would anyone buy it anyway? No sd card slot, no snapdragon 600 quad core processor? Not unless it is priced below Lg f7 atleast. F7 have same processor, better battery and alot better gpu than htc first.

  • hope htc improved recption and resetting issues

  • No One X plus is the best.

  • of course first is the first

  • thats not the best one ever made the best one ever made was the hTC One X.

  • 99 is cheap but should be available worldwide, for all FB lovers!

  • be a part of revolution in smartphone industry follow this link.http://www.gsmarena.com/join_our_quest_for_­a_highend_compact_android_smartphone-news-5858.p­hp more than 7000 people followed.will you? Share it on facebook,twitter everywhere.

  • yes -,-

  • this phone is sheet am gonna stick to my inspire4G att&t. best phone HTC ever produced, only wish they bring update from android 2.3 to 4.1 jelly bean.

  • Good news for the facebook ui haters,genuine htc fanboys and all other real smartphone lovers. this phone with sense 5 ui and improved specs code naned htc m4 coming soon.

  • can u use a phone call and txt on this phone?

  • Now facebook home is available for almost every android device you can check it here and download it. Here you will get the step by step guide. ­

  • I actually hope that Tweeter will also follow in the way of FB, then we can get rid of iOS and all the gibberish nonsense of iCrap being more superior.

  • which One is the First

  • This phone is sh*t I know the specification are a lot better then any other HTC phone, but this phone looks sick , disgustingly cheap. If I see that in someone hand I would say S*******e The thing is HTc even after having so many losses , HTC still thinks it can give shitty phone to mid range and be proud of it.

  • Defy design phone. Nice specs. I like it!

  • Great phone! Excited to check it out when it gets here in the Phils. I like the fact that one can still launch android apps while on cover feed and that FB notifications will still be prompted even when using other apps. The 16gb internal memory may not be enough though. It should have a built in SD card slot.

  • Its a shame how they are launching phones with blazing fast processors and only about ~10 GB Internal memory and no Card slot... I bet u wont even be able to record a few hours of 1080p video on this device if u have a few games and like a few thousand pics that u have clicked over a few months

  • i will be da first 1 to buy it

  • No, it doesn't.

  • when it come in market

  • you can turn off the FB home screen and it turns to a normal android look.

  • It must have an external memory card slot

  • I've seen several utube vids demo the fb home launcher and it looks ok if ur lost in the fb universe :) but what about using the htc 1st as a phone, like sms and calling? i see no dialer or sms app anywhere. it's probably hidden deep in the menues and will be a hassle to get to. but then again, if ur so into the fb, u don't need to call or sms ppl outside the fb universe :)

  • you cannot deny the trial of HTC for giving you a better smartphone... as it is the first smartphone with so much feature just wait and watch you will get more in the future

  • awesome specs except camera ... can't wait to get one ... tested beta and like Facebook home Ui

  • I agree with you htc haven't got a good speced midrange phone.for example One S has low internal memory nor it is expandable. Other midrangers either don't have compass , front cam etc. The only near perfect phones of htc available in India now are the high end models htc one+ and butterfly. hTC didnt even bring One SV a mid ranger, to India which has almost high specs what other midrangers of htc lack,like compass, front cam, gorilla glass MSD slot. HTc first is actually meant for face book lovers. It doesn't have the great sense UI but facebook home UI, Which though can be disabled to get the stock android UI. but stock UI is nothing compared to the amazing Sense UI.

  • Good specs but UI is not htc sense

  • Without it it would run stock android, and that's not typical only Nexii do that and they're like 4 phones amongst the thousands of androids out there. If anything tthat's remarkable (a non nexus running stock) and makes it pretty unique and probably the most attractive HTC to my eyes. A few months ago I wouldn't believed myself saying this, but "good work there HTC", now price it right and we're set...

  • htc phones is good phone better then samsung this is quatily brillent ,hardware quailty is very good.great i am doing gob in htc i reaily proud feel,

  • Is this phone releasing in india, if yes then when and what is the estimated cost of the same???

  • Good looks and specs.but why is htc mean on memory on global models. cons-limited memory,no htc sense ui.

  • Great and elegant phone. Good specs: battery mAh is above average for a 4.3" display. Good ppi, faster Processor etc. But the camera should have been upto 8MP. All the same, I like the phone. I cant wait to own it

  • Hi I have HTC one X And HTC Desire V... I Aggry that HTC doing Good job with Most attractive Mobile models... But In dhis Model HTC not giving much different featurs... Hens over all M Giving 1 star out of 10.... To this model...

  • Best choice for facebook lovers..love it..great design with powerfull battary.. Tnx a lot htc.

  • We love HTC because of its wonderful Sense UI. Without it this is just a typical android phone for us.

  • guys If you don't like Facebook Home you can disable it and use stock android. so you must not worry

  • This phone is for facebook buffs. It doesn't have the amazing htc sense UI. Instead it has facebook home UI. A useless phone for normal minded HTC fans.

  • No thanks! I've decided for a Nokia Lumia.

  • This is the right kind of specs for a midrange 4.3" screen phone. Hope they can change One SV specs to something like this

  • why not it coming to other countries???

  • htc just awesome we proud and love u..............uuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaa

  • amazing design

  • htc should use the 8meg camera from the old incredable s the only goog feature from that phone

  • If you can turn FB Home off, why doesn't everyone grab a dual core, 720p, jelly bean phone for $100?

  • Another fail device from HTC

  • Love HTC for their Innovations they have done a Fab job with this one.. loves the sleek UI and FB features.. eagerly waiting for Facebook Home to Hit Playstore on 12th this month :) Way to go HTC :)

  • What benefits Should Got on this Mobile.....those who are Not Using Facebook....??? Facebook is a Social Networking Site.....does it works as Secret Password...when we Restart a Phone or else third Person can use this Mobile....???

  • that's a good job from great htc fb are most important part in phone

  • :O A HTC device without HTC sense!

  • Release date ???

  • pixel density is good, but protection? gorilla glass is missing.

  • Orkut is no more ,One day will come for facebook too. Then this phone becomes freak and useless. HTC you should bring Good speced mid range phones to the global market soon. Replace ONE S with a high spec phone having 16 GB internal memory with a Micro sd card slot. I have been for a good midrange phone for more than 3 years. htc didn't bring bring the midrange ONE SV to India . HTC... Bring a good mid ranger soon.

  • yummy. do want. but how about the price?

  • I'm sure facebook could have just designed a launcher that could work on all phones rather than a fairly average handset.

  • luks like gud phone.... facebook home UI luks kool...!!
