Well I love HTC I just want to try something new I had a iPhone 4s that was a mistake and I just want a new android experience like touch wiz than sence aosp is a rim on some devices so I don't know and I like stuff that no one has
none
HTC hands down. I like the overall feel, and screen resolution of the HTC much better, but it's a personal thing

I've owned every HTC android device on Sprint since the Hero and I must say, the EVO 4G was the only great experience I've had. I like to hack my phone, custom ROMs, theming, the whole nine yards. The EVO 4G was the best phone I've ever owned but I really can't say one way or another if I'll buy another HTC again as it all depends on what they offer.
I like how Samsung has unified the GS3 and may end up with a GS4 next year but the EVO line is inconsistent and being carrier exclusive can limit the developer following and tends to easily be forgotten. I'm hoping HTC makes one flagship phone for all carriers (think One X on every carrier with a black/red model called "EVO" for Sprint). That way the phones are the same not matter how you look at it... just my two cents.
Hope that makes sense.. really tired on third shift.
They need to make a EVO line accros all carry and make that there flagship phone.. And it needs to be a cutting edge device when they release it. Samsung got it right the g3. I am a fan of HTC but they just don't seem to get it anymore. Yea I know you guys will want the EVO line to stay sprint exclusive but we get screwed. The g3 bei g across all carries they get all the cool accessories and development.

Samsung is a good company and make awesome devices but they a sorta like apple when apple fan thanks about android they thank about g3 and when when we thank about them we thank about iPhone there are so many android phones out there and what I mean about I want some thing that no one has is a good powerful device that no one want like the evo lte mostly every one in my small town has a g2 g3 or a iPhone so I want some different
sprint
Sprint has a lot of android phone but no really big one with development mostly the ones with development are evo late g3 sorta note 2 g2 and the nexus and 4/5 of those devices are Samsung so if the m7 comes out on sprint I might get and put caynogmod on so I like to thank I have a nexus
Both htc and Samsung are making good phones. Everyone has their preference. I recently switched to the gs3 from the evo lte because I wanted something different. I like both phones though.
Having said that, now I need to be a grammar nazi, please punctuate. It's difficult to read your posts.

OK man. I love how the g3 looks but so many people have it. Nexus 4 looks awesome but you can't find it in stores. I'm the one that like to see the phone first before I get it. G3 just has so many users. If the rumoured HTC m7 comes out on sprint I might get but I get the rumoured g4 when it comes out. But the g4 will have a lot out users I am a picky person to my phones
Yea, I wouldn't buy a phone if I couldn't try it out in person either. I'm excited to see what htc has in store for its next release. After using the gs3, it will be a tough decision between the gs4 and the next htc phone.
yeah
I'm just tired of HTC sence so I might just get a Samsung but I love HTC build hardware
I've been wanting to go Samsung. But i cant stand the cheap light feel of their phones and i hate AMOLED.

I just wanted to know what would it take for you to stay with HTC? It seems like most people on here dont like the galaxy s2 but always say that when sprint gets the galaxy nexus there gona get it. Me personally both of my lines are are eligible for upgrades and i passed on the iphone rush and galaxy s2. The 1st evo to me completely changed the way i did and will always look at a phone. Not the iphone or any blackberry but the evo4g. The evo 3d although wasnt as ground breaking still made me a happy htc customer. So i ask....what will HTC have to give us in there next major sprint phone to keep people from jumping ship to the galaxy? For me its basically just ICS and LTE. Possibly a camera as good as the og evo as well. So before anyone says it ill say it cool story bro....stop trolling blah blah blah....i just seriously wana know bc it seems like alot of people are losing faith in HTC

Stop using ****ty cameras, stop using ****ty screens, use better speakers, change the damn phone design for once. They need to get it, yes the first Evo was revolutionary but that ship has sailed. Change the design on the phones and make them thinner and make sense optional. It wastes too much of the phones resources because of how bloated it is. That happens ill consider coming back to HTC but it's not likely so I probably wont. And FYI the camera in the Evo 4g sucked even more than the one in the 3D does. All their cameras suck that ive used.
Make Sense removable.

They should make sense faster. I'm on mean Rom right now and its blazing fast. I don't see why HTC couldn't have made it as fast as that. And what everybody else says. Camera, screen, thinner. Personally I love sense, but it can be better

Not planning on going anywhere here. Just waiting for the quadcore S4 chip HTC phone to drop for sprint personally. LTE modem being built directly in the die is interesting to me...
though I hear the complaints about camera, but personally I find it suitable for a phone, if they make it better, then so be it.
As for making phones thinner....im not on that boat here. Id rather have them the same thickness and size they are now. Holding those thin iPhones just doesn't feel right in the hand to me. Also when you go thinner you sacrifice the already slim battery life...

Same here brother. I know what this phone is capable of and snatched it when I had my Hero.
I'm just hoping the development last just as long.
Im not to worried about a thinner phone myself because i always put them in big cases like the defender or ballistic. I agree with the speaker comment though....i never realized how bad it was until i heard my friends iphone playing pandora on speaker

An HTC Nexus device.
HTC needs to innovate once again and get rid of the "cookie cutters", which have only slight differences. They should focus on 3-4 models across the board, ranging from entry level to high end.....their should be NO differences in look or features between carriers. This would also force carriers to focus more on improving their networks rather than flaunting that they have a "better" phone, which is what they should be doing.
Major (Android) updates in a timely fashion..... If we get ICS by June....and I do not believe it will be any earlier, that will make a full 8 months since source code was dropped to the open community. It is also well known that manufacturers have the code months before it is granted open source. With the expertise and resources that HTC possesses, 4-6 months is ample time to build and push an update....
Also i was on a service call and had to do service in one of sprints corporate buildings in fairfax virginia. A sprint tech there told me that the galaxy nexus will have face regonizition technology to unlock your phone. Hopefully htc has something similiar

yeah the only thing that might get me to jump the gun early is depending on the details of when we will see quadcore from qualcomm in phones. The current S4 Quadcore chip is the APQ8064 which is paired with the Adreno 320 BUT that chip is geard toward more tablet and mobile computing devices rather than phones.
Reading more and more around it seems the most we will see at lease in the "near future"(this year) is the MSM8960 which is their dualcore S4 but its paired with the Adreno 225...
Think I read the time we'd see even the APQ8064 is around the holidays too. So maybe next year for qualcomm quadcore S4 chips in phones?
The dualcore S4's are real improvement though still having modem's built in the die and getting the improvement there no one else is thus far...
I am in the minority but I prefer sense UI to asop. ICS is no different. However that is a very small deal when it comes to which phone I choose next. I have the EVO 4g and that sold me to get EVO3D on opening day. While I stick with HTC? Sure but only if they make best product to choose from that can be rooted. They best step it up because gIII looking good and all it would take is Motorola to unlock and I'd possibly leave. They have me.....for the moment

Those are all things that the Rezound has over this phone. The camera has been quoted to be one of the best available on a smart phone, and it has a higher screen density than the GNex because of 720p on a smaller screen. Design is different as well.
Oh ok....thanks for clearing that up.

Never really had a problem with the form factor of the EVO or the EVO 3D. If I could get the same Sony cam that's in the 4s, better camera/camcorder software, like the 3D aspect, so improve upon that. 1080p recorder. Definitely must be more powerful, so either a quad-core processor or a dual dual-core processor works for me.

I like spb shell launcher....
imo, nothing compares to good ol' stock android. I'm just a little jealous that the s3 already gets official CM9 nightly builds.
With that being said. That would be the only reason I get a s3.

TBH, S3 development seems to be overshadowing ELTE development. We are probably too much of a niche device at this point.

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

EVO ALL DAY!!!!! im just a htc fan.. well the evo line anyways.. i have had all 3 and they all kick major a$$!!!! this phone is the sh*T!!!!!! love it
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

I'll take the ltevo over that s3 anyday. I hate how Samsung bent over backwards for apple when developing that phone. Don't even have a black version because their scared ****less of being sued.

i got the amaze since day 1 of its release. hoping its development would blossom like the nexus one and G2. blehh guess it didnt! ive been looking through the threads here and it looks like HTC has issues releasing kernel sources and that severely cripples development. all we get are broken roms. its kinda irritating that HTC's dev community are practically bothering HTC about it yet they just give us generic answers lol im surprised dev's here got as far as they did without any support from htc
Im thinking about moving on to a new device... i was hoping to get another HTC phone (HTC ONE X+ anyone?) but who says that HTC might do what they did with the amaze again. Im thinking about transitioning to a new company all together? samsung? or maybe Motorola (their new QWERTY key boards are to die for). From reading reviews they look amazing but there is one issue its build quality... HTC makes the best phones when it comes to hardware. I wanted to get the galaxy nex but the specs isnt all that tantalizing. thats why im reluctant to move out. but im prlly borderline
The company thats prlly as good as HTC when it comes to build quality is SONY. Xperia S looks nice.. esp the transparent strip. But i want it to glow different colors like the xperia u. I just wish it would work on tmobile 4g. Other than that this is prlly on par to htc's build quality.
Hopefully HTC will make a new nexus device with killer specs this fall.
HTC Y U DO THIS?
I agree with u 110% I "moved on" to the galaxy nexus. And the older specs don't mean much, it obliterates the amaze in performance. But the build quality is real bad. Every time my phone vibrates it feels like its going to dismantle itself. I still have the amaze, and when I go back to play with it, its So slow and stuttery, but the phone feels so amazing in my hand I love the build quality. And the camera is MAGNIFICENT! Both phones have pros and cons! I give so much props to the Devs here they keep working at it even though htc is working against them :'(

considering google owns motorola now, by the time I'm ready to upgrade I wouldn't be surprised if I'll have a moto in my pocket.

Unfortunately it's pretty unlikely that we'll be seeing any ground-breaking development for the Amaze... We've been itching for a fully working AOSP ROM for at least half a year and even though we've got S-Off, it obviously hasn't made as much of an impact on the progress of AOSP ROMs as we had hoped.
I'm still using an Amaze, stock rooted and debloated, but I've pretty much given up hope on a viable AOSP ROM for this device. I've seen so many people post about saying how this beast of a device will finally be unleashed when blah blah blah blah but honestly, a GNexus with its inferior specs will hands down beat the Amaze into the ground in performance and smoothness.
This device was a total let down. The specs on paper looked awesome at the time and the build quality looked to be much better than other phones, and yet here we are with the capacitive button light bleed, camera flash leak, squeaking backplate, and god knows what else there may be.
All I can say is that I will probably never buy another HTC device in the future because of this experience.

Samsung's quality is not really in question. It's just how it feels... A lighter phone is smarter and the plastic is a lot less likely to crack. My vibrant never creaked or had any weird physical issues. And chances are with a lighter phone the screen is less likely to break or crack from a fall. A lot of people like it. I personally love the feeling of the amaze in my hand. The weight gives the impression of it being more durable I like my phone having a little weight to it.
And I know there's a lot of talk about the amaze being poor but honestly I'm just happy we even got ics. Seriously, I had a sensation and this at the same time and this stock gb, compared to my sensation on ics aosp, the amaze was much smoother. May not be everyone's experience but was the case for me. Also I had multiple sensations that got dust under the screen very easily. And know several others with the same issue. I know the sensation is also HTC but to say the amaze was a failure or similar things, I have to disagree. As far as htc, yeah its a little disappointing what they've done. And Samsung is seeming to change for the better but back with my vibrant, the HTC devices I saw were getting froyo updates months before we had any signs of getting an update. Was quite frustrating. Ha back then all the talk was #neveragainsamung now it's htc. Interesting

Ha yeah that dust was an epidemic! And it could happen at any time /shudders freaking nightmare I tell ya! And yeah I mean every phone company has their peak and their fall. Sammy hasn't been the best with updating their devices and while we had everything else working when we finally got custom roms not based on touchwiz it took an eternity to get gps working without them releasing the drivers. And gps blew anyway. I think it took the sgs ii the same time as us to get ics. It's not that Sammy is doing great customer relation business its just that htc is plummeting, making them look good and htc isn't thinking of the customer... No memory expansion, no battery removal. That's irritating to me. The grass is always greener though! I thought I saw Sony devices are pretty decent and updated pretty quickly that's hearsay though.

I thought the same thing. Then I got the galaxy nexus, and its wp7/iOS smooth, stock not rooted or anything. And puts the amaze with a custom ROM and kernel to shame. Unfortunately. I'm not bashing, just stating facts. I still own the amaze just incase

And htc wonders why they are closing up shop and loosing business?
Like i said i give htc a couple more years and thatll be the end.
Its a shame great products, ruined by stupid politics and horrible customer service, including a fu disposition towards customers.

You also forget that the GNex is running AOSP if you tested out my cm9 rom you would know that it's speed it's simply amazing much faster then the GNex that my buddy owns
Just curious on what other LGOG users think of the HTC One announced today? I had the international HTC One X and really liked the phone, the camera was leaps and bounds better than the one on the LGOG. The LGOG camera, IMHO, is just ok.
The reason I left the One X for the LGOG was because AT&T lit up LTE in my area just as the LGOG was launched. I didn't hear great things about the One X+ so I went for the LGOG.
NOPE!

From what I've seen there's a quite a few people here who came from the HTC Inspire, which HTC screwed out of an update and have no feelings towards HTC. I happen to be one of those, I'll never buy another HTC phone
Nope,next question........

Conflicted
I'm really conflicted about it. I really love my LGOG after the N4 Conversion (with fixes, of course) but I also love my sister's HTC One which has a better display, and camera (IMO). I don't know... I'll probably check it out when it comes out but keep my LGOG till my contract ends.
Is it true it's only coming out 4.1.2? Just curious curious and no om enjoying my LG too much!

The HTC One looks like a great device! But I'll probably wait for my 2 year to finish up. I'm pretty content with the LGOG.

Me too. At least the development was fantastic though.
Nope. I came from the One X (AT&T variant) and while the camera was top notch, the locked bootloader, 2.20 root fiasco and a pretty locked down device isn't worth it. It was also my first HTC device and after experiencing Sense firsthand they can take that crap and shove it. It kills the device and is about as laggy and bad as Motoblur in it's heyday.
Now having vented about it I will say this, the device is still within the family AND that dev community here on XDA is topnotch and first rate. Very helpful to noobs and very, very good at getting the device blazing fast and customized.
HTC is just not for me as far as manufacturers go and I won't ever be owning another one unless it's free.
Man what are we going to buy? I got a moto one time. Everybody swore they would not buy another. So I got a sammy. Burned again. So i thought ok its because I'm not buying flagships. So I got the vivid practically on release day. Worst decision ever. Now I got this phone. Which I happen to love. U know every phone I own eventually got Aosp. I think it just does not happen fast enough for some people.

Not at all. HTC makes good devices, but there's no guarantee that you will be able to unlock the bootloader, for OS upgrades (I never count on AT&T providing support for the devices that they sell). In addition, the LGOG more than meets my needs for the foreseeable future. Why spend money if I don't see it as a meaningful upgrade.

This phone only came out in November. Assuming most people got the phone with a 2 year upgrade, people may be tempted but unless they are rich, nobody's going anywhere.

I'm sure the HTC will be unlocked in a timely manner. HTC regardless will have a bigger following than a non Nexus LG would!

Bah. If you don't mind switching carriers it is easy to break the contract, sell the old phone for most /all of the ETF. So getting new phones isn't really that hard financially - If you are willing to change carriers.
I go back and forth between Verizon and AT&T about yearly...

This is what I do, except I don't always switch between VZW and AT&T. Most of the time I can buy a phone outright keep it for 6 months sell it and buy a new one. It's amazing the deals you can get on eBay and Craigslist. If you do it right, you are out of pocket $200 to $300 a year which is what everyone pays to get a phone on a 2 year contract.
Posssibly. It seems a neat phone, but I will wait for the reviews. I'm getting more and more hiccups and glitches in my OG, and I believe at least 2 are hardware. I hate HTC, but I like metal phones and stereo sound. We'll see.

I came from HTC evo 3d , rooting , unlocking were fairly easy, it was getting the s-off that was a pain! I don't know if anyone had the "wire trick" fun lol. But after all that I had 4.2 cm10 and man that device screamed!
Now , I have never owned a lg but besides the slow go on development, which is just because the phone is so new and waiting for true jb release to att . I love this phone! Took me a while to get over my flashaholic nature , and with aosp to come out any day I'm excited!
The camera is sketchy, but if your trying to take professional photos, get a real camera in my opinion. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever look back at HTC ,
Its not about what you know , but who you know.
I think it was Android Central where an HTC executive said the HTC ONE will be their only flagship device this year and it won't be modified for carriers..... So where does the leave the EVO line?? Carriers always leave their best phones for a summer release and the ONE comes out next month.....No way Sprint won't have a flagship device releasing in May/June!!!!
The article is on Phandroid!!
Maybe sprint will release the Htc One in late spring like the EVO 4g Lte was? We don't even have a official release date from sprint yet
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Its confirmed that it's definitely a March release....we just don't know what day!!!!! It would be horrible if that's their summer release because I know I'm willing to wait for a device with the s800 and I'm sure most geeks feel the same way and HTC isn't Apple....geeks are HTC's bread and butter!!!!
Maybe we'll get an evo with that sweet sweet Snapdragon 800 chipset in the summer.

You could be right, however I think there is another situation about to happen. As far as marketing and hyping up a phone, HTC will only be making noise about the One. So you won't see any big shows, commercials, or anything else from HTC unless its about the One. That is HTC baby for 2013.
But....that doesn't mean that Spint won't contract HTC to design an EVO with lets says a snapdragon 800, and some other goodies. But the marketing, and hype will all have to come from sprint. And for that reason, I am not sure how that will go over. But I do think sprint will contine the EVO, but expect no noise from HTC about it.
Htc is crap. I wish i got a S3.... or At least they get rid of Rosie. That is all. lol.
Here's sprints summer flagship http://gizmodo.com/5986617/lgs-55+inch-optimus-pro-has-a-1080p-ips-screen-hands-on I know I'll be getting one... The evo has been good to me but maybe Google did their homework with LG and I'm going to follow suit

Nah, I doubt sprint would even consider that. LG doesn't have that kind of backing ot credibility to pull off an EVO. No history of updates, pro/con development, or releasing of source. Not sure many would opt to grab that over the One. I know I wouldn't.

That looks really nice to me! I've never owned an LG phone, but they have definitely been improving their Android game lately! While my next phone will definitely have at least a 5"display, I'm not so sure I want a 5.5" display as the Note 2 actually felt a little larger than I was expecting (and I had expected that I'd love that size display). Only complaint with the Optimus G Pro is that the display is only IPS, instead of IPS Plus/Super IPS. Both of my current tablets have an IPS Plus display, being the Asus Prime (TF201) and the Asus Infinity (TF700T). That article even mentions that the display is not as bright as they would have liked, and IPS Plus does exactly that - increases display brightness. I guess we'll see what all Sprint has planned for this spring/summer, as that will be 1 year for me with the Evo LTE and that's about how often I've been purchasing a new phone for the last 6 years. So far though, the Optimus G Pro is in the front of the pack. I'm hoping HTC releases a phone with a 5"+ display soon very soon, as they have officially said that they will be producing phones with 5"+ displays this year.

The One is HTC's only flagship phone, not Sprint's. I'm sure they're working with Sprint on a phone that'll be released in the summer to continue the EVO name. Remember, HTC had a couple different "flagship" phones last year with the One line. Now, they're sticking with just one phone (no pun intended). Now, I have been wrong before, but this is just my speculation. I'd buy the One if an EVO isn't in the cards.
If the One will be HTC's only flagship then the EVO is dead, unless they release one and it's a mid-tier device. If that was the case, why would you buy it?
Face it guys, it's over for the EVO.
As for Sprint, the only rumored device I see potentially topping the One is the Moto X. This is purely speculation seeing as there are no released specs, but I believe it won't be exclusive to any one carrier and Google wants to offer a non-Nexus device to beat Samsung's flagship. Too bad we probably won't get any details until May because I really want the One next month. It would suck waiting until May just to hear its not as superior as rumored, or that it won't go to Sprint anyway.
Yea, the EVO line is dead. I enjoyed it, but it's time to go. This will make advertising, accessories and everything else much easier.
I know people like the body design of the 4g LTE, but I for one think the one X on at&t was a much much better looking phone. The HTC ONE looks even better than that. I'll miss the kickstand, but I'm tired of explaining to people what an evo is and why it's actually still part of HTCs flagship line. It makes zero sense to keep making carrier specific models.

I for one am glad that the EVO line might be dead. The reason I am saying that is because this "should" make for quicker updates. One phone two base updates (CDMA/GSM). HTC can pour all their recourses into keeping these 2 versions updated. I know that carriers will add there bloat but keeping the base updates basically uniform should speed up the process. Just my 2 cents.

Well seeing that us Sprint guys don't need the SIM slot on the side, maybe we'll get an sdcard slot. Maybe.
