as the title says, currently i have the samsung note 2 but thinking about getting the htc one but, i'd like to get some your feelings on the phone. what are the things YOU DONT LIKE about the phone. can you stream movies from your phone to your samsung or LG tv? thank you for your feedback.
u need a htc toggle or something similiar to stream, cant stream direct from phone. not fair to compare note 2 to htc 1 so will just list the pros
pros of htc
nice body
fast ultrapixel camera and zoe. nice gallary interface
cons of htc
medicore battery
shortchange you with 720p screen instead of 1080p
sense 5 interface is slow and sluggish after a few mths of usage, badly written.
please try the phone first if you can. open up simple things you usually do on your phone and see if you can get use to it.
if you wanna try a htc phone,i rather you consider the butterfly S. otherwise wait for sony honami or lg g2. samsung is getting so boring for me and their strategy to launch s4 in so many version pisses consumers off.

IMHO, the only thing "better" about the Note 2, is the screen size. Yesterday with moderate to heavy use, I was out of the house for almost 18hrs....got home with 20% battery remaining.
Being a previous Note 2 user, I can tell you that the battery life is miles ahead of the One. That and the screen size are the only two things that I would say the Note has over the One.

There is so much wrong with this post. The One has surprisingly good battery life with it's 1080p screen and small(ish) battery. Sense 5 does NOT lag at all. I've had this phone since launch and it still does not lag.

Well bro your experience was an uneducated one, because there were several things wrong with your post like the previous user stated.
1080p screen (not 720p like you said), easily stream your media to your TV directly from your phone (it's in settings > more), Sense 5 is easily the smoothest experience I've ever had (and I owned the Nexus 4 prior to this phone) so what experience are you talking about? lol

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I came from tmobile galaxy s3, iPhone 5, note 2, and Sony Xperia z.
Finally I bought the HTC one.
I felt like I made a good decision.
Sure, note 2 had amazing battery life, but I thought that the phone was too big and heavy for me.
If you're strickly for battery life, note 2 is the best. Hands down.
Now for HTC one, this might have worse battery life compare to note 2. But you can buy battery pack to charge it when you need it.
Also, there are excellent Roms out, like android revolution HD. Gives better battery life and tweaks added.
If you have extra cash to spend, HTC one is a great choice. But note 2 is still good and not lacking tech. That's until note 3 comes out.

I'm pretty much on the fence of trying a Note. I was against the Phablet look in the beginning but I have pretty much tried every device that has made a mark on this forum and am thinking of giving it a go. Just looking for some opinions/thoughts on this.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages?
Do you think it's a even trade?
Thanks.

The note is a great phone. Really in a league of it's own. If you can find a trade it would be worth it. I wanted to try a one X but could not give up the few perks the note has over the hox.
What are your concerns about the switch to the note?

Its not nearly as bad as you would think. You get use to the size in about a week. Then any other Phone feels like a little toy. One thing for sure, one you watch some videos on YouTube on the note, you'll never want to watch then on anything else.

Size. Great screen too. Overall a great work horse for a semi power user.
I use the spen for quick notes when I am in a call or a quick thought. Watch YouTube like a fiend on the huge screen. Also use it like any great new phone and stream music to 3 different BT devices. The battery life can be hit or miss at times but i have an extra battery and an 8100 maH battery pack to charge with.
I've thought about a nexus many times but can't let go of the note. Next phone will have to have at minimum the same size screen and probably be 1080p

I flop around. I had the iPhone than the Meizu, Galaxy Nexus and now the One X. I do use my phone all day for everything so I think the Note is ideal for that.
Do you guys think I'll be taking a major hit as far as the one x screen vs the note screen? Or is it user preference?
Sent from my HTC One XL
Get a used i717 Note cheap as you can, try it, then I think you might have a One x for sale. LOL. Far as the screen goes, I've never even held a One x in my hand mind you, if I had microscope eyes maybe.

Do you want to go for a note 1? It's a 1000 times better to go for note 2. I had been using htc 1x but did not like the idea of unlocking the bootloader stuff from htcdev. So sold it within 1week of purchase as I bought 2nd hand.
Note 2 is really nice if you can come to terms with the massive screen. Display of note 2 is better than 1. Htc one x screen is nicer but smaller.
Major difference is the battery which runs out for 1x within a day of moderate usage. Whereas note2 lives to almost 2.5 to 3 days.
1x overheating is a major pblm. Note 2 never clocks more than 32 deg but 1x shoots to almost 45 deg normally.

I think giving the note a try is a good idea. Battery life will be an adjustment. It seems I charge mine 2-3 times a day.
The screen and features more than make up for the battery deficiencies. I don't even over clock mine and it never lags. I'm using Padawan v6.2.
I am waiting for an update to JB. The point of having the Note is being able to use the SPen. As soon as we get some project butter goodness, well, what more could we need?

Battery is really just depends on the user. I personally get right aground 13-14hours with around 3-3.5 hours of screen on time. Not a gamer though.

That's my main reason for wanting to jump ship because I need something that will take me back to my N93/Blackberry days as far as battery life
Been trying all kinds of battery solutions myself. Have been carrying an anker 8100 mAh portable charger for a long time and now trying to just carry a spare battery. Seems like it is about break even 14-16 hours use. All day BT on and a lot of audio streaming. Few calls and possibly 20-30 texts

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.

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.
I'm thinking about changing phones I'm on T-Mobile with my amaze no longer under contract. I was looking at what they have to offer and had 4 thoughts. I'm looking for input.
1. Get the iPhone 5 and sell it to make a profit and keep using my amaze
2. Get the HTC one the processor isn't much faster than the amaze and the camera isn't as good and it also lacks SD card slot
3 get the nexus 4 16gb looks pretty nice quad core processor and is aosp but still lacks an SD card slot
4 keep my amaze and wait till it craps out.
What do you guys think? And I checked out the HTC one forums and saw sports on there so I personally ask you sports how's the HTC one

Just went through this. New HTC one is very fast, don't let mhz ratings fool you. Go use the phones until the sales guy kicks you out.
I tried new htc one. Old htc one, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g cousin, s3 and note 2. All much faster than amaze. All great phones.
In the end because I didn't want to lock into contract, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g were hundreds less than the rest. Went with Optimus for LTE. Arrives this week.
Hoping when s4 is finally on display in my area I don't regret it. Based on reviews like trusted tech heads at arstecnica the new LG Optimus g pro phablet is the benchmark king. Out shortly if you like the size.

I've been using a HTC One for the past couple days and it's really fast. The front speakers sound clear and pictures are all right. The phone has no grip though so you might want to pick up a case on Amazon. The profiting from an iPhone sounds like too much work for not enough money. The Amaze is still quick for most things so unless you hate it I think you should keep it.
Go with the HTC one. It's great and development is amazing! Battery is also awesome. I get 4hrs screen on time! Sense 5 is also very fast and minimalistic making it an aosp like Rom that just tons of extra features!
I upgraded from my amaze.
You can also use the HTC logo as a Menu button so you won't lose screen realestate from an on screen menu button.

Hey guys and gals, I have about 2 hours to make up my mind. I know this is almost pointless to ask on the HTC One forum, but I will anyways lol.
I just signed up to AT&T about a month ago and chose the S4 at that time. I have been going back and forth and toying with the idea of getting a One.
There is a guy locally who wants to do a straight trade with me. What do you guys think? What would I gain with the One that I don't have with the S4?

I have had my One for a couple weeks and I'm coming from an S3. The only things bothering are can't remove the battery and no MicroSd. I'm quickly realizing that I don't need to carry around my entire music library on the card, but having to annoyingly plug in sometimes 2x a day isn't going away. The speaker in front are awesome as well as the metal body. I don't know if I'll trade it in, but as of now I'm liking this phone a lot.
Thanks for the info. I went and checked it out and backed out of the deal. I don't think I would ever be able to get over the button placement, rooted or not. And the feel of the buttons was not fun either. And the notification led was a joke. They may as well not even put one. For some reason I really rely on the s4 one lol.
For now I'm sticking with the s4 but I will update this thread if I change my mind.

After using quite a few Android devices, the button placement didnt take long to get used to at all personally. Plus I really dont like having a physical button to press at all, thats just another moving part. The S4 is decent but theres way to much Samsung crap installed on it that gets used a few times, then forgotten about as well. Sure I could root it and install GE roms or what have you, im just very partial towards HTC myself over Samsung. A company that has its back against the wall is more likely to pump out a quality high end device to try to win back its market share, and the One is a perfect showing of that as opposed to Samsungs "blanket the market with alot of devices" approach
Either way, the One and the S4 are the TOP of the line at the moment, and you really cant go wrong with either.
Get a Moto X. You will never look back.

HTC One is far better than the x

Lol. I played with the X in a store and thought it was a joke. Flimsy feeling build quality, horrific camera and vanilla Android with a couple extra features.
If I wanted that I would get a nexus 4 for much cheaper. Except it has much better build quality.

The X is faster than any phone (I have all of them). Excellent build quality. Active notifications, touch free, Motorola Connect, best battery on any phone (actual use) and fastest (even faster than my Z Ultra with quad core 1.9ghz).

Other than a few extra software features, what does it have over the nexus 4 which is much, much cheaper off contract? I understand the nexus doesn't have LTE, but the Moto X is extremely overpriced for what it is. It felt like a toy in my hand, I don't understand where you get excellent build quality from.
And there is already a free app in the play store that does active notifications. Even though I don't currently own it, the One blows the X away. Just my opinion.

Yeah I thought the One was good until I got the X. It has separate processors to handle the touch free (if you installed that free app your battery would die in an hour). I thought the X would suck be caused of specs. I buy every new phone an d compare them. I hated the Nexus 4 so no comparison. Terrible battery, felt weird in the hand, wireless charging was good. The new X has a crazy good feel in the hand. And those software add ons are huge.

The camera is great on my One and Zoe rocks. But I always hated holding the phone for long. The edges dig into your ha ds and phone is huge for 4.7 screen.

I'd love to have a Moto X honestly but it is overpriced for what it offers and the One is just a superior device all around
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
The Moto x is nice but not better or faster then the One period
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
The moto X is an overpriced joke. The One and S4 still are better. With the LG G2, HTC One Maxx and Note 3 coming...the moto X is pointless. I believe the Nexus 5 will be announced by end of this year.

I went from a s4 to the HTC one and I'm glad I did the s4 is a s3 with a bunch of stuff crammed in it the phone was rushed I think that the s3 was better I didn't get that wow factor or that I got a new phone so I can't put it down whith the s4 if you come across that trade later down the road take it the HTC one is the better phone this year and I had all the samsung phones all the way back to the samsung nexus I think they drop the ball this year

I think if they skipped the whole made in America thing the phone would be priced at 99 and be worth the money

Have a moto x and HTC one from Att been using HTC one as daily driver for about 5 weeks paid 199 for it got the moto x for free through a friend that works for Att last Friday and they are both brilliant devices with their on separate charms and personality with that said I find myself using the moto x more and more its just as fast as HTC one and feels more comfortable in the hand its a very good device for everyday use it is better than s4 I had and I think better than my beautiful highly speced HTC one but that is just my opinion from using both I don't think moto x will be a hit because people look at specs and price at the expense of user experience. Get a moto x give it try might be surprised as I was.

With the Moto X having a 720p display instead of a 1080p like the HTC One or GS4 I would hope it feels fast. It doesn't have to push all those extra pixels. But even with the higher resolution display the HTC One is smooth too. The build and speakers are a nice plus.
Still stock and loving it. If I ever get bored I will just root and flash something else.

To say the HTC One is faster and never used the X is just stupid. I am not a fan boy and love my One. I am just telling you facts. When the Note 3 comes out with the 2.1 or 2.3 quad core, it will run same as X. My Xperia Z Ultra has a 1.9 quad core and is slower than X. Moto has 2 separate processors on top of its dual core processor to handle information. It will be the sleeper hit of the year. It's first Android phone that is as fast as an iPhone.

Just came from the Nexus 5 (and I loved it too... just have wanted something that felt solid, for years).
I love this phone... have had it for ~3 hours.
Good day

Says the guy using a Note 3! Ha!
I agree. I'm very impressed with this phone overall. Even the photo quality is much better than I expected and is seriously being downplayed in all the reviews. I wish we had r/w access to the file system, but I can accomplish most of what I need to with an unlocked bootloader and root, so I'm content.
Yeah its a kickass phone. Much more premium than my n5. Also much better designed than the s5 or note 3.
Agreed. I'm very happy with it.

Agreed. Coming from the m7 I knew what I was getting into. They improved on the great device from last year.

Just spent my first full day with the device and I am blown away. The hardware is excellent. Feels great in my hand without a case (case coming soon though lol) battery life is excellent. At 4% battery right now writing this post and I've had 3 hrs 20 minutes of screen time in addition to using play music for 1 hour at the gym, YouTube videos, Web browsing, texting and the works and the battery is clutch. Screen is miles better than the AMOLED on the s4 I just switched from. Shame on me for switching away from HTC for my last phone. Very pleased.
Oh and Sense 6 has made huge leaps from sense 4 the last time I owned HTC. Software is well done, buttery smooth, and has great features that I have always wanted added to sense.

M8
I ordered mine yesterday AT&T is telling me that I should be getting it on the 3rd. I am also coming from Nexus 5. I have had a lot of HTC phones like the Aria, Inspire, the Vivid, and the ONE X. I left Vivid and went to the S2 skyrocket cause there was something about the Vivid that I cant remember that I didn't like, then when the One X came out I had it for a little bit and I didn't like the direction they were going so I went to the S3. I have had a lot of phones in the last 5 years so I hope HTC don't let me down with this ONE. I'm gonna keep ahold of my Nexus 5 tho..
I just got mine a few hours ago and love it so far!
To root, I just need to flash twrp then flash superuser right?

JUst got the M8. COming from the S4 and then the note 3. Loving everything about this phone. Might be the first phone I do not put AOSP in. HTC Sense is very minimal, and the tweaks they have made I find to be very helpful. I am loving the HTC camera as well as the knock features.
I left my beloved 5s for the M8 and couldnt be happier! The larger screen is the way to go
I've had Samsung for the past 3 phones. Love them but now want something new to play with. Seeing how much people love the m8 I'm going to go back to HTC. It looks really awesome. Just hope they have it in Stock at the stores.

My favorite feature is the ease of adding a SD card up to (and including) 128 gigs.
