In fairness they haven't miled it as much as Sammy this year S4, Galaxy Mega 5.9, Mega 6.3, S4 Zoom, S4 Mini, S4Active, S4+
But still feel little disappointed that they haven't stick to the 'ONE' flagship as promised, and the 4.2.2 update for the one is verging on sad comedy. I love my One but just when you think HTC are getting its **** together they fall after a couple of hurdles.

Unlocked HTC ONE dev edition is here but its android 4.2.2 had a feeling they was gonna wait for the launch of the butterfly s first

No 4G either on the brief spec sheet I saw.
But at the end of the day, not for my market.

Lovely specifications, but I don't like the way it looks and not a fan of its name, either. lol

Exactly not for my market either but the we are 850mhz and 1900mhz so it cud work in the Bahamas and further more I use only WiFi don't use data. The butterfly 2 is different from the butterfly s.So I think the butterfly 2 might be for the US

This phone is a better version of our phone. I don't get why they say they're gonna stick to this as their single flagship but then this thing comes out.
Just horrible moves by HTC in my opinion.

I think it's stupid. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice and beautiful smarthphone but HTC already has a flagship device, the One. And now they kinda have a new one. Why put all your marketing and all your hopes on the One and then launch a phone with most of them better specs than the One. I spend 600€ on this flagship device and now 2 months later there's already a better device. This is exactly what is wrong with HTC. They don't really care about the customers. O yeah and the update police ( I want 4.2! ). Please don't get me wrong: I love my One and I think HTC is the best smartphone maker and they deserve a lot more credit.

LG Optimus LTE2

Just found my next phone
http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...-2gb-ram-true-hd/&category=classic&postPage=1
Why?
My beloved O2X are still great, after more than a year. Snapdragon isn't made by NVIDIA
And I guess Arcee are also going to get one
Sorry for OT, but i couldnt find a LTE2 thread....

I prefer IPS than over-saturated super-amoleds as well. So if LTE2 is an international phone, then I'll definitely prefer it over the S3 as well.
And... LG's models always look hot. Their phones look nice too.

Yeah, we all know that for a fact.
Thing is, I came from a Moto Milestone, and support was actually worse there. And I'm hearing some people complain about Sammy and HTC support too. So at this point, it kinda feels like Google Phone or bust.
wont buy another lg phone.. support sucks (as already mentioned).
Love my O2X due to the great o2x devs doing their magic..
But its hard for a new phone to gain that much users and devs.
We'll see about that but my next phone will be a nexus for sure
O2x is the best phone I've used tbh, our gingerbread release is still top notch on CM7, and ICS isn't a necessity yet, just something we love to ***** about.

Was planning to get myself a tablet instead.. maybe Asus Transformer Pad + keyboard dock or maybe one of those win8 version when they're out

Also think that IPS screens are better and more realistic than AMOLEDs, and the one on LTE2, with HD resolution, could be the best one out there!
I am keeping an eye on this phone, too. LG has great hardware, and LTE2 not being based on Tegra chipset makes it just better for devs to do their magic. 'Nough for me!

Honestly, the ONLY problem I had with my phone, was that after a while it would 'stutter', in vid's/game's etc. I believe this was down to bad memory management and ony 512MB RAM. If that had been sorted I would NOT have good rid of my O2X for anything. It didn't EVERYTHING I wanted and more. Was a cracking good phone.
I think too many people get into wanting to hate companies and forget about the actual product.
Waiting for this phone as well, since the Galaxy S3 looks ridiculous.
Was waiting for the 4X, but I don't want another Tegra device.

ASUS has done a darn good job with frequent updates for their Tablets and the fastest ICS Delivery. I think the Padfone will be a device I'll have a very close look at.
Obviously Optimus LTE2 will have brilliant hardware, but if it wouldn't have CyanogenMod suppoted, it will not be the phone I want.

I appears that this update being pushed to the phones if China Telecom or some other Operators. The rough order is Google releases an update. OEMs get it working on theier hardware and add there stuff to it. Then the OEMs send it to unbranded phones and/or the Operators for them to put their stuff in it and test per thier networks. Then the Carriers push an update.
My guess here is that the Chinese Operators did not care to do much testing or what they did was fine, where as I read HTC was not happy with some of the firmware in the 4.2.2 update and have slightly delayed pushing thier's out. That seems awfully scary if an Operator is rushing something out.

No demanding. Just frustrated with HTC at this point. 4.2.2 was supposed to be out mid June. It is now July. I had confidence in the ONE but I'm losing it quickly and so are some other people. No projected date, statement, acknowledgment to customers. This is why I left the EVO LTE. I had a soft spot in my heart because of the original OG Evo but it is starting to leave.

Galaxy s4 or HTC One (May be joining you all with the One Up plan soon)

Understanding that there will be bias here i will likely ask the same question in the one forums.
S4 or the one? and why?
I can't say either since I don't have.the one. Take this into consideration. Both phones only support 1900 lte. Sprint is turning on 800 and 2500 lte now. 800 will give you way better distance and penetration. Tri band lte phones coming. Other wise the s4 kicks ass. The battery last and its removable. The ones is not and its smaller.
Left HTC over a year ago, after owning each EVO from the very beginning. Would never look back. Plus, the community here is the best buncha guys I've worked with by far!

Battery and SD on S4 sold me as well
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
User replaceable battery and SD card storage capabilities is why I like the s4. I've had problems with both HTC phones I've owned. On average, I've had less problems with Samsung phones. HTC, in the news, seems to be struggling. Just my opinion.
Both phones are good. HTC one with those speakers, metal build. And that red color it came out in is amazing. The S4 with the camera, sd card, removable battery. With that being said, I've never used an HTC one for more than 40 seconds lol. So I can't tell you any experience of it. But the S4 has been good for me. The first phone I've owned that I haven't cared to put a custom rom on.
I'll never buy an HTC device again. I've personally had too many issues with their products in the past.
I own an S4 and I won a One (gave it to my wife).
Personally I don't want anything other than Samsung, but I admit the One is a great device. I'd say you should go with the Sammy based on my past experience. I've owned several without any issues. Had 2 Evo 3Ds with issues. That turned me off HTC.
If you root, I'd take a look at both development forums while deciding.

That's the other thing as well. Granted the S4,had some issues with root from the get go, but since the S3,its been super easy to root and unroot. HTC some makes some of the best hardware in this industry today, but I've just gotten super fend p with the software and such. Even tho, I haven't tried there latest with the One, I still don't plan on it. Only other device I wild turn to either than a Sammy, would be a Nexus, and that's it. Mostly for developing and Theming purposes. And for people thinking of moving from HTC to a Samsung, stay clear of some of the tech sites that knock on the S4. Take the 14 days that Sprint gives and test it out yourself. Cause I think most of the them are talking out of there arse

S4 on removable battery and microsd... been using TP2 on sero since 2009. If htc would made one with removable batt, microsd and world phone capability with sim card like TP2, I might hv stayed w them... but sadly, although the unibody of the one very aesthetic, it limited several features discussed all important to me... so now its S4.
I posted this over in the ROM threads. But look at these results.

Simple. Galaxy phones are built cheap.. this guy said this happened this morning when he got to work. It plugged it in and about 30 minutes later he noticed this. The charger he brought back is the one that came with the phone.
But like I said. We see this almost on a weekly basis. Just galaxy s3 and s4. Mostly s4. I've only had 2 with s3.

It's not just my store. Google it. It's happening all over the world. Just yesterday in Washington state one started to melt in a guys pocket. The whole phone was warped.

Oh and the galaxy s4 has a benchmark booster built in. It boost the gpu frequency when running a benchmark. Cheating

I also had a bunch of HTC's before going to the S4 when it came out. Thought they were good devices, until my wife got an S3 and I found out I was missing out. The Samsung's just work, and work well. The HTC's are quirky, don't pick up data signals as well, cameras have too much tint/over exposure, drop calls more, etc. I'm SO happy with the S4.
Nothing much in the forums about S4's melting. May be happening, but I can't believe it's a big issue at all or it'd be all over the place.
I owned the HTC one for about 2 months and just recently came over to the GS4. I actually like the GS4 better than I like the one. Both are great phones but battery life seems to be better on the GS4 and I just like the look of the GS4. I always use a case on my phones. So build materials mean nothing to me. Also beats is gimmicky IMHO without root and V4A the one seemed to always have distorted bass on certain songs when listening to music with ear buds. This device with moderate sound increase with V4A blows the one out in quality for sound just my 2 cents. I happy I switched.

Farewell all

Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Try to enjoy our ones? You sound like you're on Samsung's jock. I love my One. I acknowledge the camera issues but its smooth, sounds great and it has the UI of any android phone.
Bye

Wouldn't it be LG's jock that he's on?
Yeah, the cam is not as nice as it has been pimped. What phone hasn't had this exact problem? My N4, LGOG and ONE all were like this.....try to say that the N5's camera is soooo much better and I will say

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Its like were supposed to get upset and beg for him to stay with the One or something.
Dear nobody,
Everyone, including your own mother, couldn't possibly care any less than we do.
Your friends,
No one is your friend.
P.S. If you hasn't of said anything no one would have notice that you left. Now we just don't like you, so was it worth it?

My son writes like that. He's 7. He is learning to use punctuation, and grammar as we converse (not to mention the space bar). Game away

Life will never be the same ever again. Like a cold sore you've grown an emotional connection with for some twisted reason.
Farewell, Sprint HTC One Forum's face herpe. Farewell
Post goodbyes in the OT thread please....

Hey all

I hope I'm in the right place for this.. I just wanted to say hello I'm Alex aka. Mysticfrog.. I've been a serious fanboy of Samsung phones until late last one being a note 3.. Great phone but just really got tired of the whole gimmick it was turning out to be. So I decided to check out the nexus 5... Big time different from the Samsung series of phones but I Love it!! It's fast sleek and just all around incredible.. This is the total Android experience I have been waiting for.. anyhow I just wanted to introduce myself so hi all... I've read a lot of threads here and y'all seem like a bunch of cool guys and girls I'm just glad I made the step.. The development here is amazing so I'm looking forward to hanging and having fun

Embrace the sense of freedom, it feels amazing when you're coming from a HTC or Sammy device... so, SO many roms and kernels to chose from and they all mostly work together, unlike for example HTC One X where half the kernels dont work with the other half of the roms and you gotta repack and flash the kernel through fastboot... what a chore just to switch kernel. And S-off... ffff... Anyways welcome to the world of Nexus and hope all your flashing experiences go smoothly! :good::good::good:
and LOOOOL at the S5 comparison with the bandaid ahahahah! good one

I use Instant Heart Rate Pro from Play, very accurate and you can store measurements on a server.

yeah you hit the nail right on the head a phone full of junk!!! that and knox I really dont understand why sammy added that..
All i actually did was roll into tmobile to pay my bill and while i was waiting I saw this device just chilling there looking like a chocolate bar so as i started messing with it I realized that some of the roms i flashed on my note 3that i really liked originated from this devise.. So i sat down looked it up, checked out some reviews played with it some more and realized this is the true android experience i crave.. well actually i pulled up the xda site to see how much "love" this device was getting and that kinda sold me.. the development is huge here... Im running droidkang right now which im loving..
one question tho is there any way when i flash a rom how do i keep my music from being deleted?? What i do is basically just redownload it from my laptop, is there an easier way?? Im just used to having that internal mem card... thanks for the warm welcome all..
WELCOME

I read that Samsung is planning on making the wearable electronics compatible with all Android devices soon.
Just ordered the Nexus from Tmobile.com
Had the s3 for 2 years, was considering the Note 3 and S5 (i have a love/hate relationship with the S5)
But like somebody earlier said I crave for stock android plus it helps that my mother has a nexus 5 and 7(2013).
