On any HTC forum(Inc, Rezound, Inc 4g, etc.) all I hear is how much Samsung's Touchwiz is terrible and one of the worst UI's. I'd like to hear what the other side of the fence has to say. The only smartphones I've owned are HTC phone's, original Incredible and now Rezound.
I decided to snag up this bad boy to keep my unlimited data with a subsidized upgrade. The question is which do you think is better. I've always liked Sense and love their Widgets like the weather, clock, calendar, calculator. I like the overall feel of Sense, too. I like AOSP and am aware of the RIL issue that faces it, possibly all to well because of the whole Rezound and Protekk issue. If the SGSIII does get AOSP, I will probably most likely stay with this. That's probably what got me liking Sense so much because I had CM7 forever on my Incredible.
I'm faced with the dilemma of either keeping my Rezound or SGSIII and selling the opposite. If I were to keep the Rezound, I would prefer to sell the SIII BNIB, but I know it'll be hard to not take a peak, none the less activate it and play around with it.
So what are your thoughts on both UI's?
Is just pwrsonnal preferences,I like touchwiz features like percentage and notification toggles, but sense 4.0 does look better then the new touchwiz the looks too Much like gingerbread

Coming from an HTC Sensation, in can honestly say that HTC has the better Widgets but Touchwiz Nature UX has a better overall feel. HTC Sense feel bloated by all the unnecessary "eye candy". This is coming from someone who was a diehard HTC fan and hated Samsung. Touchwiz UX has blown me away and I really don't miss HTC Sense. I love my S3

Sense is terrible and one of the worst UIs.
J/k
Being on an incredible myself for so long I can say that I never truly liked sense because of how laggy the launcher was. I prefer perfectly smooth launchers and Samsung always seems to have that down (except for the gimped AT&T note). This phone is definitely no exception.
However, I love the look of sense 4.0 and wish Verizon had a One X variant. I like how HTC allows their customers to unlock their phones while Samsung doesn't seem to care. Then again I remember reading about how the AT&T One X was locked down, yet the Droid Incredible 4G LTE is easily unlockable. Difficult to say who is the most dev friendly with all these inconsistencies.
So basically I like Touchwiz more than Sense 1-3.5, but I like Sense 4 more than Touchwiz.

I own a s3, nexus s 4g, and a evo shift 4g......also have a close friend with the evo 3d.Now sense looks beautiful, pure google was nice with the quick updates, but TW by far is the best experience i've had..Alot of features such as lockscreen weather, battery percent, quad lockscreen shortcuts, etc. are all features we were asking devs. to incorporate in their roms all come stock in tw.Also all the motion options and voice controls are hard to let go.....

The one thing I can not stand about nature ux is the preloaded ringtones / notifications / alarms. They are literally ALL gd birds chirping and water trickles. I've had to use my old DInc 2 as a backup alarm cause I don't trust these damn stock alarms to wake me up!

I have been a long time HTC guy as well. Had all the Evo phones except the latest lte. I do miss having an Evo which I also ran Miui add I never really cared for sense. This phone has great features and honestly I'm just trying to learn to like it.
Overall though I must say, the screen on this phone looks amazing (besides best buy employees messing my screen protector up. Lol)

Common opinion is that Sense is beautiful but bloated. This new TouchWiz with all S-apps became bloated too. But at least TW doesn't suffer from killing background apps.

No I am not, but my complaints have more to do with Sprint than the phone.
When I first got the phone it was terrible though, widgets deleting themselves at random, wallpaper changes itself, phone crashed and reboots, battery drain in 2 hours sometimes, signal dropping out for no reason whenever I tried to send a text, phone freezing at the black screen when trying to wake it up.
Then root and s-off came around and the phone has been great ever since. Custom ROMs really fix this phone. Unfortunately, they cant fix Sprint's terrible network.
They all suck until they're rooted ,all that Sprint bloated....does anyone use the 3d? I know I won't use it especially since sense will be wiped off my phone.

Qualcomm is better then samsung in that department period. Stop arguing about stupid things. 3D is the future period.

super happy with my E3D. waiting on some fully functional ICS goodness, AOSP or Sense I really don't care (love sense, but IMO ICS brings a lot to the table that I used to need sense for, so I'll take whatever gives me ICS with a camera first). I do use the 3D rarely, but can easily live without is; cool feature to have available though.
I love this phone, its fast, smooth and great battery life.
I was having regrets when I first got it. Once virus release Eternity a lot of that regret faded. Once Chad released Anthrax RLS9 I was going "omg i love this phone!"
I am loving my 3vo since the first day it came out. Now I love it even more with MeanROM on it. Fast, tweaked out the way I like it, and 4g is great where I live. I have 14 3d movies that I watch with my Sony MW600.

lol that's a lot of .
Also, its just your opinion and personal preference. Samsung actually does processors much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon because power consumption is better and performance is a bit better on direct competing models of processors WiMax is done far better on Samsung than HTC as well. I still like my EVO 3D though
I prefer AOSP with Launcher Pro, I hate sense. But thats just a personal preference like you and how you love Sense.

imo, nothing compares to good ol' stock android. I'm just a little jealous that the s3 already gets official CM9 nightly builds.

For the international version correct? If you take a look at the American section for the SIII...it's rather dead.
I went in today to go play with the phone, and personally I wasn't a fan. For me and my uses it basically just came down to looks, and HTC EVO 4G LTE wins in that department for me. I also wasn't a fan of the home button, overall the LTE just felt much nicer in my hands, it has this nice heft that feels just right. It wasn't too heavy, but not so light I feel like I could break it, the SIII was lacking that.
Personally I've thought HTC phones have always had nice development, so I'm not too worried. The SIII would be rooted immediately for me to get rid of touchwiz, and switch to CM9, and I've tired of the stock android look, sense 4.0 is a nice visual change and I'm loving it. Touchwiz may be packed full of features (Some of those features can be ported to HTC, Ex: I had S-voice on my Sensation.)...but its ugly as sin. Then again Samsung could surprise us with a new version soon, because lets be honest, Sense 3.6 was ugly as sin too. :good:
In the end it all comes down to personal opinion. Development will probably be about even, I mean honestly, how many of the ROMs are you actually going to use?
They also have more development because they have source code and we don't ... Build quality on this phone ****s on Samsung

Yea must not be talking about dev support for the at&t S3. I just rooted my buddies today, and there is next to nothing available for it. It's still very early tho.
The Evo lte does appear to be slower than I thought on development.. But that's due to a number of things.
Both nice phones, but I have a thing for htc, even tho they are starting to slack big time on updates/source codes/support

God I hated Sense on my Evo 3d. No copy and paste from the dialer to start. Remove sense (install a clean rom) and Caller ID breaks. Plus a whole bunch of other small annoyances that add up to a whole lot of frustration. Maybe the new version is better but I'll never go back to Sense.
Sense ui.....=HTC bloat.....imho
Loved the 4 htc devices I have used, but they sure ran nice on CM....g
I think htc lost their way. I loved sense on wm6.5 on my hd2, especiLly the hacked ROMs that increased the icons. I preferred that GUI to their android GUI (which was based on their wm GUI originally). I have most of myold devices (all the way back to a Psion Orhamiser!) And its clear HTC once had really cool devices. Now they are ME TOO. No real differentiation. Samsung is winning at the moment.
But watch out for ASUS. They will appear from nowhere in the mobile market with outstanding devices (much like they have in the notebook market and now the Microst tablet).

What do you mean it's too hard to port to a Samsung device it's already been ported to the SG2 and SG3
So Guys,
The speaker just blew on my rezound. I called verizon and theyre sending me a d-inc 4g. I think it seems like a pretty good phone, but one that will soon be outdated.
What are your thoughts on that device?
And now, the big question. I know its hard for us to admit, but is it possible that the iphone 5 is better than all high end android devices? is it the best smartphone out there? what do you think? Having been an android user for 5 phones, what do you think? (i love my ipad and macbook)
Should i get the iphone 5?
Thanks!
IPhone5 beats most high end android phones spec wise... Some say the gs3 beats it but it is a fact that the newer galaxy note 2 beats the iPhone spec wise.
Not to mention the new Android phones coming out soon, the HTC dlx, the HTC J, and the new LG nexus which will for sure reign supreme upon launch.
But.. It's all up to you, do you like to mod or customize your phone? Get an android
Do you like a phone that just works no bells and whistles? Then get an iPhone

so get an S3, root it and put aosp on it. whats the problem? also he nature bothers you? .. you clearly haven't used one.
1.) the lock screen ripple effect can be turned off
2.) any "nature " sounds can be turned off and replaced. hell, every sound I use is from HTC phones.. gamma, vector, ascend etc

again, ripple lock screen (which looks badass and is original, mind you) can be turned off. mine is off. It's a simple lock that shows up and you swipe in any direction to unlock it. Again, that nature stuff isn't really apparent at all on this phone.

What's better, the d inc 4g or the Rez?
Dinc 4g is smaller than the Rezound. That is a negative. Well, at least it is to me. I will would opt in for the SGS3 if at all possible. Oh, and one more thing. You get an iPhone anything. And I shall hunt you down and wiz all over that thing. Lol! No, in all seriousness. If all your other products are Apple. Why would you want to break up the "eco system"? Unless you really like variety and phone modding.
But seriously the SGS3 is wicked pissa kid! It is smooth even with apps loaded to the hills on it. Browsing the web is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. You put the proper ROM and kernel on it and the battery will last forever. I have it under clocked and under volted. And this thing still doesn't miss a beat.

Friend of mine just got an i5. Best part about it is battery life. It's really good. He had 2:45 mins of usage and was at 75%. I owned a 4s so I know I wouldn't want the new iPhone. I love my androids. But the new s4 and pro processors get extremely good battery life compared to the older stuff
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the iPhone5 is a GREAT device.
My girl has one, and it is just so smooth in all its graphic movements (scrolling), transitions, and all-around responsiveness.
I will probably always prefer HTC Android devices for the devs, ROMs, screen size, and Sense UI, but there's no denying that the 5 is an amazing piece of kit. It positively KILLED my Rezzy in a side-by-side app-loading and scrolling comparison. The 5 is smooth as silk.
That said, I can do more with my Rezound, I love my larger display, and we have the all-important Menu key! So for me, I prefer the Rezound.
By smooth scrolling you mean how it pulls system input to the top of ye CpU list, forcing everything else to stop momentarily?

Hi I was wondering if there was a touchwiz port that supports the 1080p screen for the HTC DNA? I know many of you don't like it, but I just like the fluidity of touchwiz on the s4. Thank you
Use cm 10.1 with apex or nova, several touchwiz themes in market. Honestly though, you should probably get an s4. I personally think their overlay isnt near as nice as sense.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Haha i was expecting that answer. Yeah but I really think upgrading to an s4 now, is such a waste of money. The only thing new is a couple of sensors, bigger screen, and better processor. The dna has a big screen already and a really good snapdragon s4 pro. all i want is touchwiz
I could have got an s4. Played with it. Didnt think it was that much better than the dna, especially at the cost. I think htc builds a better phone but samsung has more gadgets. Wife has a note 2, i came from a gnex. When i weighed the cost, my dna was free at best buy, i couldnt pass it up. Touchwiz is cool on hers, but i want to root it and put aokp or cm on it, she wont let me, lol. Good luck dude!

The DNA and S4 have the same screen size. In the demo model of the S4's I messed around with I found the screen on my DNA to be far better. The sensors are the same, but the S4 and touchwiz utilizes them better. Hardware wise, the HTC One and Butterfly S are IMO the only devices superior to the DNA.

Yeah all I want is to try touchwiz on the dna, I came from nexus 4 and galaxy s3. I enjoyed both phones especially the smoothness that came along touchwiz.

There is no TW at all for the DNA. Are the Sense and CM based roms laggy in some way?

It, in theory, would be possible. Finding a dev willing to even touch it with a 10ft pole will be hard.

The DNA and S4 have the same screen size. In the demo model of the S4's I messed around with I found the screen on my DNA to be far better. The sensors are the same, but the S4 and touchwiz utilizes them better. Hardware wise, the HTC One and Butterfly S are IMO the only devices superior to the DNA.

I'm pretty sure the dna doesn't have a barometer. And I know it doesn't have an ir port.
