how different are android UI's across brands?
The only difference is color man, I own 3 galaxy s2's best decision was switching back to HTC and letting go of those Samsung with their ****ty ass radios. HTC just kick ass, they just need to upgrade their screens and they should be able to stomp on Galaxy phones all day. Oh and fyi flashing and rooting is so much easier. EVO 3d not dead.

I suggest you to search the web for images. Search for HTC Sense / FriendStream and compare it to Sony Xperia TimeScape... You'll notice the difference. And definitely take a look at LG Prada 3 interface!
There's also Samsung's Touchwiz but I only know the icons and the notification area, can't really cite any feature...
It isn't in the visuals though, but in the little things like what a menu will offer you, functionalities and the exclusive apps the manufacturers produce to their phones that makes each unique.

Has anyone made the switch from the iphone to this device? If so what are you thoughts/comparisons? Would you make the switch back? I am sure this has been asked but I am at work and just time constrained and can't search. Any input is greatly appreciated.

This is a great phone and will do just about anything the iPhone can do, the two downsides are the battery life is nowhere near the iPhones and the games on the play store are lacking but catching up quickly.
The screen in my opinion is much easier on the eyes than the iPhone and I love the size and feel of it. All in all if you don't mind buying an extended battery than I'd say this phone is ideal.
That being said, there are some newer phones out that are just as good but with that better battery life.
Hope I helped

Helped a lot actually thank you I am just torn between this or wait until the Incredible 4GLTE is released. I like HTC a lot. Too bad they opted out of the HTC One series. :-( That is an impressive device.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, in my personal opinion I'd just wait if out until the end of the summer. Some really great phones are coming out that will have better battery and a better chance of receiving the new jelly bean software (faster and more features than ice cream).
Glad I could help you out

Wait for the incredible 4g if you want HTC. The battery on this one is pretty bad. The snapdragon s3 is not easy on the battery. Otherwise look at the nexus or the razr Maxx (official ics is rolling out as we speak) and its pretty close to aosp. They also have working cm9.
Just realized I forgot about the galaxy s3. That's also a great choice.

A couple months ago word broke that HTC was looking to break into the phablet market and today those claims are resurfacing again from numerous mobile tech sites. Specs include 1080p 5' screen and a quadcore S4 chip along with its own scribe pen. Do you think HTC can make a splash in this market, should it have sense or vanilla android and what specs do you want to see?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Also I forgot to add that so far reports claim it will be ready sometime between september and october, and may see a release on Verizon but that doesnt mean it might not show up on other carriers.

They just changed Sense for the better in Sense 4.0, and soon in Sense 4.1 which will improve on Sense further.
Edit: We also already have a thread about this somewhere with actual news posted.
hopefully htc don't take a long time to release 4.2 to us...

It's not similar. It IS the one x. Only bigger battery and sd slot. HTC isnt going to specifically mention every one x variant by name. And the evo3d was a whole different mess as it was the only one of its kind. Apples and oranges.
Yes, it DOES look like Jelly Bean is coming but does anyone know when? No. No one knows. I'm not even sure HTC knows.

I'm more interested in this myself....
.... What about a development version of Android 4.1?
For our developer community, we plan to make generic development ROMs of Jelly Bean available for both the HTC One X and HTC One S. As soon as the ROMs are ready, they will be posted to our HTCdev site (www.htcdev.com). We strongly recommend customers take the time to understand the limitations of the development software along with the terms and conditions on the site before downloading to their device.

I won't believe any of this until the day I see that the update is available. I've learned my lesson before with HTC/Sprint. Never believe their information.
Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.
Just sayin dont trust any reviews on the youtube they are all bull****

I also have both phones. If I had to choose I would pick the HTC one. The s4 is a nice phone but the ui isn't as smooth from my experience.
If the ui on the s4 was just as smooth as the HTC one it would be hard to choose. The s4 has a lot of customization.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.

If Sense 5 with 4.1.2 was ported to our phones, I'd imagine that it wouldn't require much more (which I know it was A LOT) work than this port, as at least with portions of the UI, are very similar.
