HTC Panache - User Reviews

  • Anyone please helpe me. How can i update this phone to android 4 or 4.1

  • Battery not good. not charge properly. quickly charge going down.

  • I have the same problem. I wish htc will let us upgrade it to a more sevure bersion like icecream . But our panaches ram is probably too low. So i got the most secure instead Blackbery Q10 and ots awesome

  • the phone itself was good until I installed apps then baterry dies the same day I fullcharge. I think its the OS that its running in Android 2.3.3 which is the least secure. its 2 years old wish they can let us update it to Android 4.0 I noticed after ununstalling the latest app I installed the battery can last up to 4 days of standby. now the auto rotate screen sucks.

  • I found it difficult to make video calls please who can he my helper

  • battery is busted.phone is best

  • Battery has puffed and shuts down in 10 15 sec after start up display got cracks when fell from 3 feet

  • battery is puffed otherwise phone id best in its class

  • My friend, Your battery is busted. On eBay look for Li ion 1400 mAh. Sold under 20 bucks

  • Great phone..... no problems. everythings going smooth....

  • Same problem, I froze every day since last week, so I had to remove the battery. After turning it on, it shuts off by itself, and now it's stuck at HTC screen. I tried to do a hard reset (volume down+power) to no avail.

  • This phone was great when I first got it. But after a 3 month period of usage, the phone started lagging a bunch and now after a year or two, this phone doesn't even turn on. It boots for a little and then shuts off again. I don't know what's wrong. A downside to this phone is that the battery life is absolutely awful... :/ Even so, for a first phone, it was decent.

  • Very low battery life, but everything else is great. (Been using this phone for 2 years..)

  • Pros: This phone is very fast and the os is very good. The trackpad is a great neat thing. Cons: I bought this phone shiny brand new for $300CAD. I used it for about 3-4 months. It started rebooting by itself and I didnt even use it. It kept breaking and I had to get a replacement. THis phone was great until mine broke.

  • My speakers stopped working

  • I didnt regret using this phone, am really enjoying it. It meets all My requirement. Kudos to htc for this phone.

  • Go to your music scroll using the black thumb pad and select option button next to home screen select set as ringtone follow instruction. Hope that helps

  • Nice phone, but I'm with wind and they suck, never any service in some parts of city.

  • i have this phone for about a week now and am having a difficult time trying to get wifi hot spot to work my ibm laptop sees it but won't connect can anyone help me i am not good at figuring these things ot and when i called support care with mobilicity they seemd to be contercending and when i asked for tech help i was stonewalled not good customer relations i am sorry to say but if anyone can help me connect my cel and laptop i would be gratful indeed

  • how can i choice my own ring tong in this phone

  • this phone is great, 6 months of usage still looking new and smart. fast and efficient during duty. tnx htc, but will need ics update like desire s

  • You have to download games from google play store. It was called android market before. I used this phone for about 1 year the only thing negative about it is its weight.Otherwise it is a good phone for the price u pay.

  • How come that there is no game in this phone not like any other phone that games comes with .Do I have to download it and how do I do that?

  • Same my phone broke in six months

  • Died after 13 month, thus no warranty. Bad emmc, phone hangs on HTC logo. Nothing helps. Fully qualified brick. Was a decent phone when it worked.

  • I bought this phone, it was good until it started rebooting over andnover. I couldnt even turn itnon. I took it back to my carrier and they gave me anothermone

  • Love mine! I bought two, one for me and one for my wife, they have both performed flawlessly for 9 months so far. They are very well built with a great display covered in Gorilla Glass by Corning. We never have to reboot them and they don't hang up. Battery life does quick when we use them for the purpose of creating a hotspot. Camera and video work great too. I don't really have anything bad to say about the phone at all. We will be buying a third for our son soon, most likely used this time since Mobilicity doesn't have that model anymore, just a more expensive one.

  • This phone was good until one day when I turn it on, it won't turn on. It constantly rebooted so I had to take the battery out.

  • I love this phone since the day I got it. Has everything I need and is very effective in use. Never had any problem. The issues only come when I have to set it to a new wireless connection overseas. And that is because I am not knowledgeable . With help from the service provider things get solved. Can do most of the things that an iPhone can provide.

  • Poor service from HTC. Once the phone hangs for whatever reason and you can't hard factory reset then the phone is a garbage. I had friends and myself who had problems with the phone in 6 months.

  • Great for a few Months and then the faulty eMMC corrupts the image and if you're lucky you can do a factory reset. Or you can't do anything.

  • Just the fact that HTC himself does not have a support page for it already says a lot :( Unless I'm blind, it's not among the phones they show on this page.

  • It's just too bad, for some reason is hard to find forum support for this model :(

  • If its unlocked will work with wind, Rogers, chatr and fido

  • Superb phone with Mobilicity $25/month plan. Great features with no problems. Bought a refurbished phone and is great only small scuff marks. Love it!

  • Yes, I have been using the Panache on Moblicity. Have not had any issues. Great setup. The data plan and Panache hotspot is an awesome feature.

  • is is a nice phone

  • yes, u can go under settings storage and factory reset and wipe

  • can you gsmarena guys provide panache's review. i'm gona get it soon so better safe than sorry.

  • so u want erases everything, go to setting SD & PHONE STORAGE then clicK on the FACTORY DATA RESET. or UNMOUNT SD CARD wait for 3 second then ERASE SD CARD such as music, photo, video, and games.

  • how i can format this mobile ????

  • I had the same problem. it was corrected as soon as I updated the skype software. Hope this will help. Overall i am happy with the machine

  • I had the same problem but it was corrected as soon as updated the sky software. hope this will help

  • Owners, can you play facebook applications like cityville here?

  • use skype

  • i bought new HTC panache, its an awesome phone with front vga that is enough for video calling nd rear 5 MP cam which has outstanding auto focus, face detection and background blurr effect, it also has Siri application called Skyvi which is tremendous. soung is gud. Speed is marvelous with 1 ghz processor. only a single problem that is with Skype which shows a tilted video of you when make video call.

  • U CAN BUY 3500mAh New Extended Battery With Battery Door for HTC Mytouch 4G and panache only for $9.86 dollar, both same phone its nothing difference between both just named different. here is link go to -http://www.amazon.com/3500mAh-Extended-Battery-­Door-Mytouch/dp/B005RR92HI

  • In the camera program, theres an icon on the left-hand side bar that lets you zoom in or out . Click on that icon and you will use the front camera. Click on it again to use the main camera.

  • It's my very first smart phone so I'm obv gonna be really nice and not nearly as picky as experienced users so I'm gonna say that its a very good fone over so completly recommended its very responsive has good storage and organization but the only bad this is its battery life like when you leave the WiFi on all day you'd have to charge it once a day but if you don't then yur good for a few days

  • skype

  • Tgis the best phone i had yet battry life is very good but stil not sure how to use the camera in the.front lolll

  • sorry for this idiotic questions guys but how can i video call with the panache? its not mentioned in the manual... Help plz

  • go to gsmliberty.net and get it unlocked for 15.00 :)

  • what the price HTC Panache???plis email me @ [email protected] n able be unlocked??

  • i just got a htc panache but it need to be unlock it a very nice phone

  • yes

  • Can some one tell me if this HTC Panache can be unlock

  • I had a xperia x10 and a nexus 1, now I have the panache. It's better than my previous phone. Really fast for a 1ghz single core faster than my pevious phone. Gingebread 2.3.3 on it.

  • You probably are in a bad reception area or have a faulty handset. I am on mobilicity and reception is perfect anywhere I go.... didnt have a single drop call yet(using since september 2011)

  • This is a nice phone but check-out these totally awesome remarks GSM ARENA posted on their home page on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE. The Video they posted is totally awesome.... �The Samsung Galaxy Note is a player in a game of numbers - and it's drawing higher numbers than the competition. Starting with the 5.3" 1280x800 pixels SuperAMOLED screen on the outside and all the way to the beefed up Exynos chipset inside with two 1.4GHz cores, the Galaxy Note has +1 on all its specs. This is hardly where the numbers end, here are a few more - 285ppi for the screen, 9.65mm thick, 8MP still camera, 1080p video camera, 2,500 mAh battery. It's either a Galaxy S II on steroids or a smaller Galaxy Tab 7.7. Whichever way you look at it, the Galaxy Note is an impressive piece of kit. On top of that (or rather, on the bottom) we have the S Pen, an active stylus, which can be used to jot down notes, control the S Planner organizer and more. The stylus slides into the body, which means it's always around when you need it�.� Always on the look-out.... VIP

  • Panache is exclusive to Mobilicity can be unlocked for Wind Mobile. if chat only, then All GSM networks work. If his reception sucks then he was probably making calls from inside a well shielded building away from towers etc. Custom roms seem to have issues so this could be another one of them.

  • the reception is perfectly fine, there is no problem with that. which company are you with ?

  • hey wait...i'm from north canada...is nice place...we have even own president, but he die from polarbear bites but we vote soon again for new one...cellphones work not so good here but solar battery on sled very handy...i think htc battery never overheat here... so i buy soon

  • the recepcion sux on this phone don't buy

  • how long is the battery life using only 2g and obviosly some music, wifi etc????????? thanks!

  • Desire v2.5 - repacked

  • its 1.3 MP, is as good as the laptops webcams, by the way wat kind of phone are you using ?

  • how clear is its VGA camera in front?do you have sample pictures taken by its VGA camera?thanks!

  • My touch 4g and Panache twins. I had my touch 4g I never had any problems like others HTC phone. MTG best 4 ever.

  • Then this is good. Maybe that this will be my next phone. Now I use a Samsung Omnia HD. It's hard to choose between the Defy and this. The Defy is waterproof, but has a smaller internal storage, and it's thick.

  • The 1.2 GB is for apps. The rest is for pictures, music, etc.

  • How can it be that the internal storage is ONLY 1.2 GB(user available) when it has 8 GB?? What the... the OS needs almost 7 GB??? HTC is out of their mind? Samsung didn't make such things, nor Nokia. This should be a mistake, it's impossible!

  • it does have gorilla Glass and talk time is around 4-5 hours on 3G network i have tried it

  • Good phone so far. Plenty of good features. Solid built

  • does anyone know what is the talk time of HTC PANACHE. means incoming and outgoing and does this phone has a gorila glass display.

  • dear can u please tell me what was the total talk time(outgoing and incoming) when u used this HTC PANACHE.

  • ignorant, never a HTC phone, with Htc Sense will be just one more android in the crowd. Htc sense is unique

  • Just one more Android....

  • What different between this and mytouch 4g? omg...

  • It's confusing but what it means is that you will get 8GB of external memory and 1.2GB of internal to install apps. Which is a lot!

  • 1.2 GB user-available out of 8 GB?

  • before this htc was making phone with poor cam's and now htc started to make low internal memory, if htc dont make mistakes like this it can be number 1 brand in the world but i htc dont want to be no1, fot this reason i am see people buy samsung galaxy s mobiles more than htc

  • Hahahahahahahahaha. That is a very funny comment about Canada. Well, my comment about this phone is that it looks like it has a shutter button. If so, then I am very satisfied with the work done by HTC.

  • Looks like a typical nokia form factor lol htc

  • i used this phone for a 1 month and its nice phone according to its specification but one thing the battery life is very poor drains fast....need to charge everyday....

  • i can't help but notice that really apart from the optical track pad its got the same specs as the incredible S desireS and desire HD

  • divx certified?

  • Same design and same functions. Nothing's new. Why?

  • What's with HTC and their tightarse low internal memory policy?! This phone only has 1.2 GB user-available memory!!! It must be a joke right?! I'm starting to think it's either a way for them to cut back on costs OR embedding too much internal memory causes the phone to malfunction somehow... 1GB of memory is NOT ENOUGH! Even with Apps2SD you need internal memory for caching!

  • almost the same my touch 4g ...

  • in portugal panache, is drink with beer and 7up, lol

  • it seems from the shape and specifications are the same as t-mobile myTouch 4g, mmmm ... right?

  • Nothing new..same design as previous models.

  • 8 GB storage and only 1.2 GB user-available?It must be mistake.

  • Why HTC is struck at 768 MB of RAM only?

  • It's actually version of HTC (T-Mobile) MyTouch 4G phone made for Canadian mobile operator Mobilicity.

  • What? Another copy of an older HTC phone?!!!!!!!! Hope its much cheaper......................

  • i guess its taking about north Canada, not Canada. no sense at all...hahahahha it looks like Canada is so up north that even south Canada is still "North"

  • Apparently, this phone is available in North Canada. I live in Canada, but have never heard of North Canada before. :)

  • how is it different from other htc models?
