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****

The S4 is a great phone, but i like the htc one more. Try selling it on ebay , amazon or craigslist , and then go to tmobile and buy the Htc one

I too missed the HTC one. I had returned it earlier thinking it wasn't for me and repurchased it. Plan on selling my nexus 4 soon too. This phone is just awesome.

So we should trust you because you think One is better
Honestly I own both and they are good phones in their own way. For some One is better and for some sgs4 is better, why do we have to get into the my phone is better than yours debate?

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

That's normal friend phone it's been optimised. It takes one or two updates to take everything working. That happened with my s3 also. You get updates nearly daily from Samsung. And from htc your phone in 6 months will be forgotten by htc...

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.
I had the Nexus 4 and liked the pure android experience. I am in a dilemma right now on whether or not to sell my ATT HTC One. I'm thinking that since the HTC One Nexus version won't have anything over it, like Sense, that it would run alot more snappier and quicker. Also I would be getting all the updates from Google pretty quickly. The only that holding me back is the hefty price tag. Is anyone else out there also thinking about switching over to the Google Edition of the HTC One? Do you guys think its worth the switch and the hassle I would have to go through, i.e. selling the phone, limited amounts of the phone, delays, etc.? Thanks

What I will tell you is that you probably won't get the selling points that sold the HTC one.
Example: boomsound and blink feed.
HTC One X (Tegra 3)
ROM: Viper X 3.6.1
KERNEL: Viper X stock
CID: HTC_001
NETWORK: O2 UK
If you are willing to root your device I'm 99.9% sure you'll be able to flash the stock Android the nexus version comes with it. So to me there really is no reason to get rid the the ATT One and getting the nexus One

Supposedly some people are speculating that if we get S-off (which we will) well be able to change out CID (and whatever else) so that we'll be able to receive those updates straight from Google. It just wouldn't be worth the hassle to sell your ATT One and then get the Nexus version.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Just remember that the 'nexus' HTC one and the galaxy S4 have very little of their own features due to the lack of HTC Sense of Samsung touchwiz.

they already confirmed boom sound will still be present. just no icon
Unless you don't want to be bothered with installing ROMS yourself when they come out, there's no reason to switch to the Google Phone. THEY ARE THE SAME DEVICE...
HTC may allow existing HTC One owners to replace Sense with stock Android.
http://bgr.com/2013/05/31/htc-one-stock-android-rom/
Lets simplify this, the ATT Variant is the exact same as the International Dev Variant, which is the exact same as the Google Edition....ATT has an unlocked BL check, ATT can flash international version roms check, the only thing that differs is the CID, if S-OFF and Super-CID get released, you can change the CID to match the Google Edition and boom you have your updates straight from google while having saved 400+ dollars...Also even if you cant change the CID, once and update from google gets pushed, usually within an hr a dev has a TWRP/CWM version available to flash on our device.
Why we keep getting stupid questions like the title of this thread? Its the same exact phone you're on XDA why wouldn't we have a flashable ROM?
Go right ahead and sell your phone and buy yourself the exact same phone.

So to turn AT&T HTC One into Developer Edition or Nexus Edition and have working OTA (when it released later this month), all we need is
1. S-OFF the phone and change CID
3. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.com
2. Flash to either Developer Edition or Nexus Edition rom?
AM I missing a step or two?

its upto you which one you like, I would personally prefer HTC one, but again there are several pros & cons of each, before buying a HTC just get one thing straight, this company has a bad reputation when it comes to software updates, HTC always stop providing support to their handsets before expected, for eg. HTC one s was recently ditched,many others back in history were treated just same way, ...
one more thing, I was in a mobile store the other day checking several devices, I found neither of S4 or One as attractive as they are presented over internet, there was only handset which caught my eye-HTC butterfly, real piece of beauty, & upcoming Butterfly S looks even more deadly, so I would suggest you to go to store yourself & check them personally rather than buying online...
Lol, this is the Desire X forum, who cares.

your better off asking this and looking in the appropriate ONE or S4 forum
I would definitely go for the galaxy s4, if I needed to decide between those two. Personally, I would prefer a current flagship phone from Sony.

Have you seen their stock and internal turmoil lately? they NEED to show that devotion for customer retention, otherwise they will truly kick the bucket.
I have a suggestion for HTC or build in more functionality to Sense or scrap it and go straight to plane native Android UI and let people customize it how they wan't I think that its one of the things that is holding this phone (and all their future phones back)

I highly disagree. I just think HTC would allow S-OFF via HTC Dev like they do bootloader. I just converted my TMO HTC One to GPE HTC One just so I can get the latest and greatest Kit Kit when it comes out. And guess what about 90 days from now I will be converting back to TMO HTC One Stock Kit Kat.
I personally like how Sense is setup, it is fluid and minimalistic. It now has the ability to turn off Blink Feed so it is even better. I just wish HTC would give users the option to interchangeable select which OS they want without having to go through pains of making sure you can obtain a S-OFF phone.

I can say that in the middle of our disagreement I can agree with you about Sense, because that's one of the big reasons I pick HTC over any other provider. Now I do know this: everyone, everywhere says the same thing over and over "our phones are as powerful as that computer sitting on your desk" and the sad part is that it's true! But I feel that power hasn't been harnessed yet; there are so much more I feel that are phones should do and currently don't (txt and browse the web at the same time, of for that fact do anything in combination at the same time, and so much more)
And before I get slapped with the statement "Sammy does that", I know... I just feel that with the hardware we have today (which is pretty much the same across all phones, just minor difference like amounts of memory vs screen size and so on...) it wouldn't be a purchasing factor between manufactures but a standard thing in Android....

I'm still in love with my HTC One and I have no idea why it didn't have more of an impact when released.
Apparently HTC is struggling with all it's other phones, they might as well perfect one phone like they did with the One.
What does everyone think?
Also I currently have kit kat installed on my One, if you want the ROM I can link you.

You're always gonna get some errors with a unofficial release. I too was running kitkat on my HTC One. The problem is the playstore. A lot of apps aren't available yet. But we don't have much longer to wait, HTC gave there software for the GPe HTC One to Google. Just have to wait for a release and a rom to be created by the great developers. :laugh:
