the file manager is next to facebook
@@HeyImRancover when I recorded that portion of the video I had already downloaded the file manager from Play Store. Should have explained that. There was no file explorer available to open before then.
I was just using clips I had already recorded on hand
@@johnzoid74actually the 'disappearing fill manager' thing also happened with me a couple of times, whenever I install KitKat custom rom. Whenever I reset the phone it reappears.. but after some minutes it just vanishes again
@@johnzoid74 alright
5:21 NEVER KEEP THE SIM ADAPTER IN THE PHONE! When you will eventually pull the adapter out of the phone, the hole in the SIM adapter will drag the pins and even rip them off entirely!
pro tip, thanks! although I don’t plan to ever make a call on that bad boy haha
i made this mistake with a Lumia 640 a few years back
yeah ruined my 3gs that way.
@@rpst39 ruined my at&t lg c410 that way too. thats why i made that comment in the first place, i was scarred
ruined a moto g like that a while ago
Everytime I see a windows phone, I cry in pain. Such a beautiful and simple OS, ended because they weren't able to convince developers to make apps for their devices.
I wish they'd come back :((
I used my Lumia 830 until my the podcast, spotify, and youtube apps stopped working. The reality is Microsoft actually charged a fee for the os and had very demanding requirements for app developers. It was a great os but it’s late start and the relative ease of developing for android doomed it.
That ringtone sounds like a rejected Sega. Genesis game called crazy bus.
haha totally agree 😂
Note: When using these older phones, turn OFF WiFi. As it will hog all of your ram. Obviously, in some cases, you need WiFi, but if not, just leave it off.
Microsoft killing Windows Phone pushed me into Apple ecosystem. They had such a great opportunity to make ecosystem equally good to Apple's one, but instead they made every mistake they possibly could.
Windows phone was just created too late and there weren't enough user's for most app developers to care about it so there a lot of people didn't get it because there weren't enough apps
@@BoboFerrenokia rip
I have been both IOS and Android for the last 7 years and i still dont know wtf are you all talking about what ecosystem.
@@LordOfChaos.xtechnically there were lots of smartphone ecosystem back then like apple, android, windows,kaios blackberry and other. Well 7 years? Windowsphone last update or release took place 8 years so you never heard about it as you're late 1 year😂
Going from windows phone to iPhone makes no sense. So did you replace all of your devices? You just wanted an iPhone bud.
if you want to install an apk on these old android phones, first enable unknown sources in the security settings, then turn on bluetooth and download a file manager apk to a newer phone, then send it via bluetooth to the old phone. as soon as the old phone received the file, you click on the file in the notification center, there will be an option to install or open
😊
The HTC is probably IMEI blocked if it was lost/stolen
Ima say it. Windows phone was awesome. I miss mine all the time. The Bing search lens was way ahead of its time and the ui was smooth af.
11:02 shutter sound 😂
I miss that windows phone so much... Thats why i allways install and use squarehome launcher
did you have the HTC Radar itself? Or a similar phone
I miss android 4.2 jelly bean 😢
Me too.. but not on this thing 😂
It’s usually the new phones that have frp lock
Why in the hell can I see those ringtones being on every Motorola ever, even the ones that just got released
I love seeing Windows Phone. It's so unfortunate it didn't succeed.
6:25 i think i might have to set this as my ringtone now... if i can find it
First video of 2024.
Samsung galaxy s3 would be a decent handheld device if I could connect my controller lol. Maybe there's a way.
The HTC likely cannot get service because it was not a 4G standalone device. Most US carriers retired 3G voice service needed to activate these phones on towers ~8 years ago.
So much for being the “Ultimate Mobile Xperience”. XD
For installing apks you can just enable developer options, usb debugging and install an apk from a computer using adb.
FRP wasnt implemented until WP 8.1,just a FYI
ahhh that makes sense thanks
I paid 4$ for an S8+ in a flea market(with a broken display) and 1$ for a 1st gen iPad(which works perfectly). Please make a video where you go in a flea market!
um…
H O W
I remember having that umx phone. It looked so cool to me back then i just wished it wasnt slow and dies so fast. And also that it worsened over a short time
9:52 bro cracked gta sa
One of the ringtones on the UMX phones sound like a subway surfers future music level
Ringtone thing: All of the notifications,alarms, and ringtones are stock Android.
I have a umx u693cl. I am going on a mission to delete all the crapware. I have not gotten hacked....yet......
can you actually delete it though? I hear you cannot remove
@@johnzoid74 I have been using ADB to delete the garbage
@@johnzoid74 the android modding community has managed to root the thing and remove the crapware. Fun fact,that model has unfused EDL Which means low level readback and flashing is possible!
Fun fact: this model came with a File Manager. Weirdly, it has the CyanegonMod file manager although not having CM or LineageOS installed.
Ringtone thing: those ringtones,alarms,and notifications are stock android ones
ADB@@alexisverity47
Why do you know how a cat piss smells like 💀
I… own a cat… 🐈
Thank you for accepting my recommendation.
That windows operatng system looked pretty smooth
The second one you needed to use the downloads app
i seriously need to sample that ringtone
Hey I've seen that exact windows device 10 years ago. It was in the rain in a puddle. Thought putting it in rice would make it work.
Holy shit I had the same experience on a similar htc
Bought a htc wp8s on a flea market for a few bucks and It was passcode locked. I did reset the phone with the key combo, set it up inserted a sim aaaaaaaaand.... nothing. It didn't even recognize the sim. I guess It's some kind of htc problem? Because my lumia from the same year works just fine.
that’s super interesting.. maybe its been dropped and causing a faulty antenna? I know that this phone says it’s 4g but I’d assume it would connect because I can get my sim to make calls with other old devices
Maybe same for yours no idea
7:27 if it's a US government phone it will soon
That windows phone device... is so nostalgic, i do have a windows phone 7.8 device and it runs pretty well and jailbreaking it wasn't that hard
i do have plenty of games for windows phones, oh yeah the phone name is Nokia lumia 800
i just wish microsoft didn't end the support for that beautiful os
bro can you drop some resources on the jailbreak??
@@johnzoid74yes, but unfortunately the download link for the jailbreaker is dead
@johnzoid74 yes
It probably doesn’t connect to the network because IMEI is blacklisted, most lost / stolen are.
And the plastic cover is the antenna too 🫥
Here in italy there is a "shop" called mercatopoli where they sell used things and i was planning to go there. There might be phones so maybe i'll make a video on those
you totally should! sure you’ll find some goodies 😎
@@johnzoid74 yeah, if i don't find one maybe i'll just stick with repairing the one that i alredy had (flip phone) (it's a nec e616v if you wanna know)
@@johnzoid74 nope, no phones. I only bought a VCR and 3 1980s mickey mouse comics. That vcr came out only in italy and it's samsung, it costed 20€ and it works. Unfortunately there weren't that much tecnologic things but i really like that vcr.
Honestly I feel like if they were to release a modernized a windows phone it would do well
5:45
The voice: PFFFFTTT!!!
The man: ...
hmm I’m not picking up on the joke
👁️👁️
That blue wifi icon.... I...
Still you got camera and music player. (If you use pirates)
At the time I didn’t really like windows phone idk why, so I’ve never had one. But now everything I want is that they come back😭 now I see how good they were
Windows phone were good and ran smooth in time when Android struggled when a bunch notification showed windows ran smooth I have good memories when nokia x2 was my daily and the Clash of clans days( yes some windows phone did support Android apps)
awesome video
Get a BlackBerry 😆
It's called A Tracfone Unimax (UMX) MAX Patriot
2:43 thats so misleading
you think its gonna unlock but nah it disabled itself
I have the HTC One M8 thats different which released 2014 but im gonna custom rom it soon because i dont like htc stock rom.
be aware you'll lose VoLTE if you do that
@@alexisverity47 yeah some rom support volte tho plus i prob wouldn't main it since the battery is awful
i never got any of them to do volte,so if you find one make sure to yell back here @@sabotako
You could find the number with the sim card and call then to give them their photos or the phone
0:22
if they were actively registered with the network, possibly. without being registered to the network this device is a decade old and chances are extremely low if any.
If they WERE registered- the carrier would not disclose that information to a random person calling in. would need to be proper authority and it’s very unlikely any authority would give time to someone who bought a phone from a thrift store and wanted to return it a decade later.
Also i got an iphone se Gen 1 it hard to type
miss those windows phones
Holy hell, the emoji face head cause for no reason.
cause it’s not my face and people find reasons to complain. Like you’re doing now 😂
Rather spare someone else’s privacy
This guy look like if jerryrigeverything had hair
😂
Today is June 1 2024. 1 month left.
It's crazy how much has changed in the smartphone industry. Grew up with HTC,LG,Lumia and Sony phones around and now HTC.Lumia and LG are dead and Sony is probably not far away from that either. Now it's just Samsung and Apple agains chinese brands
For a 2010's thing that Windows Mobile looks pretty smoother and better than most Android 4 devices.
(I didn't say Android is bad also I never thought Windows Phone.)
T-Mobile TV App on HTC Phone?
Neatly
Looks like google play services is eating up all the resources.
that must be it. how do I know if that’s the issue?
@@johnzoid74 Disable all the google apps.
Is Miss Android 9 Pie
I miss Windows phone... ❤️
Oh the Sandy Di
🐝🐝🐝
Nice
25 mins gang
i saw an icon for file manager im so mad
I had installed the one I showed from Google Play at that point. I went back to describe the process- was not there until I installed haha
funny to see people complaining on 12yo budget phones working badly when they're trying to use the NEWEST version of play store and play services :D
HTC Wildfire was the worst phone I've ever owned
you got a FREE phone *For NOT free* ... such a rip off 😂
nah this one isn’t the free one. newer models hah
YESS!!!. BuRn AwAy sTiCkErS
Holo UI and Metro UI still the best after all these years. Just be careful about pirated copies of still present games like GTA San Andreas on your SD card. 😅😅😅😅
We never know who own this phone 😔 (don't factory restart on somebody old phone give missing old phone to someone)
haha I mean.. I could have guessed a series of passwords.. and if lucky gotten in and then done what?
go through their information? the phone is a decade old as well.. I also purchased the phone from a thrift store.. logical thing was to reset.
Useless phones 😂 is there people buying them?
Let's go
The reason its not conecting to cellular Because this HTC Windows Phone uses 3G Networks not 2G witch is Now gone in the US
