[Q] for development - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm leaning towards this device for my upgrade. But since USand international devices will be different I'm kinda worried that the US line won't have as strong of a developer base. Can I get some feedback or some thoughts about this?
Love yall. ;p

The US models will have a big base. It's a big device so that won't be a problem. Might be more kf an issue for us English and Euros.

I personally believe its out of stock because they had it free for the week before it was sold out and alot of people bought it.
I called T-Mobile since they lowered the price and I was still in buyers remorse, and they said that it is re ordered and more will become available. Just waiting for shipments to come in.
Amaze is phased out.youll still find one.
However...
After the sense 3.6/ics uodate,there wont be anymore updates for it.no sense 4.0 except from xda.
But,Tmobile wont do anything more than the next release of 3.6
Dont believe any rep you talk to if they say they will Continue the amaze.

I got a free amaze two weeks but was having issues with the phone, luckily i was in the 14 days buyers remorse period so they tried to send me another Brand new Amaze but was out of stock. And I really wanted another one so they offer me a free upgrade to the One S. After using the One S for a few hours, I have to admit the Amaze was better in every way IMHO. From the placement of the on/off button, volume control, virtual keyboard, etc...... the amaze physical features was so well place that the One S just lacks. On the One S, the on/off button was hard to press, and EVERYTIME you try to press the button, you would hit the volume button. The One S is also longer witch makes typing on the virtual keyboard hard to use. And not to mention all the bugs that needs to be worked out. Im having so much issues with this phone, they are sending me out a brand new One S next week. If someone works at a Tmobile store in Central/South Jersery that is will to trade a brand new Amaze for a Brand new One S, send me a PM.

Not to mention the lack of a memory card slot. The 100-image (and absurdly swift) burst mode is amazing, but not worth the trade off in my humble opinion.
And then there's the fact that it only has a VGA FFC. Amaze suits my needs a lot better despite the One S's two advantages (burst mode, and in benchmarking the one S its clear that the processor runs the One S twice as strong as the amaze, but the amaze still performs marvelously to begin with imho)

Jumping ship to the Nexus

Now that there is confirmed news about the LG Nexus [Source], are you guys considering moving from the SIII to the Nexus ??
Don't get me wrong, the SIII is an awesome piece of hardware, but the lack of documentation from the Samsung Exynos team is a well known issue. That, to me, is the most important reason anyone would wanna move to the Nexus.
But I want to hear more opinions as to the advantages as well as disadvantages of the Nexus vs. the SIII.
no...
gonna shift to S4 when it comes......
we have the latest hardware and don't need move on some xx company's xx crap.......

I don't actually think theirs anything wrong with LG, of course I'd choose Samsung over them any day of the week, but if Samsung were yet to come onto the smartphone market, and LG had already made an appearance, I wouldn't be hesitate to buy an LG, providing specs etc were all up to date and the phone isn't just a single core 800mhz A5 snapdragon lol not suggesting snapdragon are bad processors....I was referring to the old A5 architecture

I just wanted to say something similar - of course it will just be outsourced to some company in Asia and will not be very competitively priced (unless you have an internal deal or something) since Google does not want to alienate any manufacturer!
That being said the openness is an interesting advantage (after the problems that I had with my S3 - which I discovered it was a patched version instead of a real IMEI unlock as I thought when I bought it).
LG left a sour taste in my mouth a few years back so I don't think I'm jumping ship, plus the specs leaked so far aren't too impressive.
However that new HTC with the 5inch 1080 screen has me interested...

why sell a dev phone and not just 1

why did htc one comes in both dev and regular why can just they make one inst that like ripping people off
because the carriers want it locked down because a lot of dumbasses its true mess up their device when installing wrong ROMs and kernels. run to ATT and say the phone doesn't work omg I hate HTC. So ATT exchanges it then finds out the phone was rooted and unlocked and caused by user error.
That is why they release different versions
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
This is one of the greatest things HTC could have done, now most people don't have to be stuck with Sense if they don't want to be. It also appears that the 64GB may be At&t exclusive, so the Dev Edition is a lifesaver for some T-Mobile customers.
For its price and what it offers out if the box is great
Plus it makes sense lol because not every customer knows about rooting and stuff. But it would be great if they were able too.

I fail to see your reasoning. So, you don't want choices?

Thank You Developers

I just wanted to give thanks to the developers of this phone. Especially the ones that gave us an AOSP experience. I recently switched from the Rezound to the Galaxy Nexus which only cost me like $15 to do so in the end. And while I'm happy with the change and I like the Galaxy Nexus, the developers of the Rezound kept it fresh for the year and 6 months I had it.
Agreed! I have had this phone for a year and a half and an still loving it. Thanks everyone!

Amen to that. The devs make it possible to get amazing updates and enjoy the true openness of android.

Yes the developers are truly what male this phone great. Also the reason to focus on hardware spec when buy a phone. I don't know how they do it but it is awesome that after all this time there are still new things to look forward to......without waiting for Verizon .

Goodbye HTC One

Hey guys I traded my htc one for an s4. I just wanted to let you all know this is the best device forum I have ever been a part of. Everyone here was very helpful and great. This forum will be missed especially with all the ignorant and new android users on the s4 forum.
I know I'll get a "cool story bro" comment, but I just wanted to show my appreciation for the HTC community. :thumbup:

Cool Story Bro
Don't matter to me I was just kidding. I don't get hurt if someone uses a certain devices over another. For the most part this entire site has been great. Great info with great people. Some bad but a lot of good that's for sure.

Here's a crazy thing....I traded my S4..four a PS4...I actually hated that phone...to each is own I guess...battery was horrible, it would put itself in safe mode whenever it felt like it. Constantly over heated...the list goes on...but good luck...I'm waiting for my HTC One
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Cool story, bro.
Actually traded because I can actually enable the 1700mhz band on the s4 unlike the HTC one. I'm switching over to t mobile so this was the main thing. Also I figured it'd be easier to trade the s4 for an actual t mobile phone (Xperia Z) since more people know about the s4. Flawed logic to some but oh well.

Just curious, the T-Mobile version of the One doesn't support 1700 mhz? I'm an AT&T user, so I'm unfamiliar with such things.
The t mobile version does support the 1700mhz band. I'm switching to t mobile and taking my phone with me in October. The att htc one doesn't support the 1700mhz band for t mobile so it would have been crippled on t mobile's network.

Have fun with your new phone. Don't you find it kind of strange to start a new thread just to tell people you're switching phones, that's not a unique event especially on these forums.
Sent from my HTC One
sometimes people want to be strange/rude/etc, kayone73. I can't think of any legitimate reason to try to drum up interest by saying "IM GETTING RID OF MY PHONE AND GETTING A DIFFERENT ONE". This shouldn't even be a thread, honestly.
Enjoy the SGS4, honestly you cannot go wrong with either phone.
Regardless, this thread doesn't actually have anything to do with the HTC One as regards informational purposes so I am going to lay it to rest.
If you want you can always give a shout-out to the HTC community in your signature.
