So today I changed over to the S4 from the One..
I was on my 3rd One due to minor defects. I could have lived with the last one I had, defect wise, but today it died a horrible death.
I was not rooted and the device was in stock form. I cycle daily and use the MapMyRide app to record my rides.
Today I headed out and the battery was fully charged. I went 42 miles and this took me about 4 hours of total time with red lights and traffic.
Get home and the One is dead! Ok, maybe the battery drained as the app does use GPS. Never had this issue before but it's all that I could think happened.
Nope... I tried everything short of CPR to revive it with no luck. Went to AT&T store and they tried everything. No dice!
They offered to exchange it for another HTC One but also said that I could get another phone if I wanted and they would waive the restocking fee.
After much debate I decided to go with the S4..
Please do not think this is an HTC One -v- Galaxy S4 thread as it is not!
I will be keeping an eye on this forum and maybe once HTC works the bugs out I will sell the S4 and be back.
Sad to see you go , but good luck and have fun

I think the One was the best phone I have ever owned. But man HTC needs to shore up it's QC.
I already miss Sense and blink feed.. :crying:
The S4 is pretty nice as well but overall I'd prefer the One minus the QC issues..

Yeah, sadly HTC does not have as much budget as Samsung or Apple =\
I got to play with an s4 today. I definitely prefer the one only because I get sick of phones pretty quickly and I was already itching to get rid of the s3 (i even picked up a nexus 4 because I wanted something different) so to own the s4 wouldn't be much different than owning the 3. I did also get to play with a black HTC one today and wow I loved it in black. I wanted it in black at first until I got the silver and it grew on me and didn't want the black anymore. Until I saw it today. Lol I'm definitely going to use the upgrade I have on my other line in June for a black one. hopefully by then the qc issues will be addressed.

I already miss things about the One.. Call me crazy but I really liked blink feed.
Funny thing was when I 1st pre-ordered the One I was willing to root or use an alternate launcher just to rid the device of it. After using it though, it's easily one of the best features of the device!
I am sure I will be back.. The S4 is nice as well, but I have always been an HTC fan..
Sense is also much better than TW in my opinion.

I have a ton of crap disabled and the S4 still lags a bit but I believe that's a JB 4.2.2 issue..

What would you do with your Aria once you decide to get the next big one! (since your 2yr renewal is up)
I personally think someone should develope a Game ROM for the Aria, you know make it into a Sega Genesis or SNES port of some kind!
.
I'll give it to my sis, she inherits all my old (and not so old) technology
And could be soon, right now I have the SGS2 on my sight...
Debating that very question myself right now. Just got my Thrill today. Probably turn the Aria into a dedicated mp3 player/wifi device...that or sell it.

Yeah not much going on for it yet. A couple of slightly tweaked/themed stock roms. I hope kernel.org comes back up soon so some real development can get going. A good thing is no locked bootloaders or anything to discourage development.

No clue. I still have another year on my contract. Definitely something with a bit bigger screen though.

I've moved on from my beloved Aria long ago, but she still still puts in work occasionally as a dedicated audio player and back up phone for my girl mostly since she's extremely bad with phones.
Someone stole her iP3G so I bought her an iP4. Someone stole her iP4 so I gave her the Aria. She broke the digitizer, so I gave her My Pre+. She dropped the Pre+ into a glass of wine (don't ask...) so I gave her back the fixed Aria. She destroyed the Digi yet again, so for the time being she's using an Xperia X10a I got her. Lets see how long this one will last........
So far so good. She wants to use her upgrade on the iP5 when it eventually comes out. x_X
Here's hoping I can can get the X10 back in one piece...

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
Hello,
I recently switched to tmobile and am looking to buy a phone to use. I've been looking at HTC Sensation, HTC Amaze, and Galaxy S2. I was thinking to go with HTC Amaze, but I ran into many issues discussed on the net. So, here's my question. Should I buy this phone? Are the issues that bad? Or, can they be resolved by simply installing custom ROMs? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you.
GT
I dealt with all 3 of them. GS2 is a POS. Sensation is has older harder (but better ROM development) and i love my Amaze. Does all I need it to do. You should get an Amaze.
Agreed with hasoon
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Although I love my Amaze its getting to the point where its becoming outdated and unsupported. I would go another route. IMHO.
Depends what you are looking for...
Pros:
- Decent Specs.
- Nice camera.
- microSD.
Cons:
- Due to HTC and the lack of source ROM dev isn't as plentiful as other phones.
- Issues with the back plate not fitting right and making creaking noises.
- Larger device (thickness).
- Sense (for me at least).
- Horrible backlight bleed from the buttons.
- Lackluster battery life.
If I was to go back in time, I would have picked up a Galaxy Nexus over the Amaze.
I was choosing among those phones too (including the blaze). Chose the amaze because it's screen was way better than Samsung crappy pentile offerings and it had a dedicated camera button. Battery life is pretty mediocre even with an anker extended battery. Battery life is a huge weakness since HTC refuses to release wireless source.

The One S is good but the lack of SD card is a no go and its made by HTC.

Money being no object......Buy multiple Amaze's, root them and put Nitemare 1.6 on them and then sell the ones you dont need at a profit.
My Sensation was completely awesome, I bet you can get one for a good price. Too bad I broke it and had to get the Amaze.
The sensation is basically the Amaze except half as thick, lighter, better looking, better battery, better development, screen was great, and it was overall just awesome.
The Amaze is a huge downgrade, it's so glitchy, heavy, thick and ugly and the customization rom-wise is very weak.
If you can get the sensation for a good price I highly recommend it.
I think it was one of the revolutionary phones, and set the standard for other droids to date.
But that's just my opinion. If I had a choice I would have the Sensation right now over any phone, even the GS3.
Get an HTC One S! Or unlock and get a ONE X+

If money isn't an object he would only be wasting his time trying to buy and sell amazes because he'd have no need to increase his monetary funds smart ace

Money being no object, the Nexus 4 is the universal recommendation we can make (pentaband 3G like the Amaze). I'm assuming you're in the USA, so keep an eye next week when Verizon will reveal the Droid DNA, which looks like to be HTC's second superphone of 2012, after the One X series.

Universal recommendation? From whom? Looks like this thread says sgs3 is the closest to a universal answer to me

So... You suggest it because it's cheap, but if you read the op he says assuming money isn't a factor so.. Your argument is void
And again I say gsiii depending on hand size and comfort... HTC one s isn't bad if you want something smaller (but it's not much smaller) gsiii is solid. And if you want something bigger note 2

I'd say wait for the Nexus 4. The specs are great and it's a nexus device, hence you'll get awesome development and fast updates. And the price is unbelievable. I plan on switching to Nexus 4 myself.

Why not the HTC one x+ that should be an amazing phone and probably better than sgs3 and definitely a lot more beautiful. Although sgs3 is an amazing phone software and hardware wise to me it looks ugly and again feels cheap when I held it one x+ sports better specs and keeps in mind aesthetics along with premium quality just not sure why many people aren't suggesting it and suggesting an inferior device (sgs3) especially when price is not a factor and if it was nexus 4 would be the best choice so either way sgs3 is now more hype than anything now that there are better phones on the market

No removable battery, no memory expansion, 1gb ram. And... Tegra processor? Eh. I guess that's 'better'. The s4 chip can handle anything I've used it for quite smoothly, if I was going quad core I'd go with something s4 pro. Also some people prefer to have a settings button on the phone, I know I do. Plus all the red tape from HTC rgd development and such. Good development community over at the sgs iii. You asked, I answered I've not held the one x+ granted, I was not impressed with the feel of the one s. And considering the one x+ is almost the same dimensions as the gs iii I gotta say the feel of the gs iii grows on ya haha. But anyway just my opinion.

Hey fellow XDAers! I'm a Galaxy Nexus guy myself. my sister is on AT&T and asked me to recommend a phone. i am trying to keep the price down to the $100 mark. i saw this phone for $100 on contract. i loved my OG EVO and spec'ing this phone against the SGS3 it looks like a win for HTC, plus, the HTC model is newer and Sense IMO is better than TW. i've been out of the loop with HTC progress for a while and just wondered if you were generally pleased with your phone and would recommend it to a family member. this phone will likely never be rooted so the prospect of future (Official OTA) support is pretty important, i know you'd be guessing on that factor...

Phone will eventually get Sense 5.0 from HTC, so updates shouldn't be an issue.
depends, how much do you love your sister?

I'm sure it's by far the best $100 device available on AT&T right now. I paid $200 and think it's a great device.

I never reccomend anything to anyone because that somehow activates some unspoken agreement that you are now their official IT guy if they have any future questions.
Otherwise, I love what I've made my One X+ capable of, however, out of the box, the only thing I would warn a perspective buyer about is the somewhat dreadful battery life.
Tegra 3 is a hog is you don't underclock\ undervolt\ bring cores offline.

I would go with the S3. Besides nice hardware there's nothing spectacular about the X+. Sense is worse than TW actually, and on the X+ you're stuck with it.
