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.

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.

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

It depends. The one is a good option because it will probably be popular enough to attract development. Plus there's a 64GB option. And the Camera is actually pretty good. And I think it has LTE. Have you considered a GSIV

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.
Keeping my amaze as my ORD phone.

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.

Ok so I'm thinking of switching from my S4 to the DNA. I have a few questions, also I'm rooted on the s4.
1) how is the storage on the DNA, with root, like holding roms and the back ups?
2) can you view emojis on Facebook and instagram without root or do you have to be running a ROM?
3) what kinda photo modes are there? S4 has burst, sport, and a lot more
4) how's the battery life?
5)what's the biggest complaint about the DNA

DNA gets a tad more space to us with root battery life is great with uv and oc depending if you know how far the phone can go.
My biggest complain was the colors were not as good compared to other phones but now with the crpalalmer and baeups kernals have it so it looks great. Now if you are a flashaholic there's not as much as Samsung but the good thing is that there are a lot more roms then when I got the phone 6 months ago

1.) Storage is so-so. If you can stream most of your music and stuff you'll be fine. I was carrying around alot of music and stuff on my phone and that just wasn't cutting it. So you need to be selective about what you keep stored on the phone. The phone will work with USB-OTG cables though so keep that in mind.
2.) I'm not sure about the emojis.
3.) The phone has burst with best shot. It'll just pick out the best shot out of the burst of pictures. The burst feature is also extremely fast. Much faster then my Sony digital camera.
4.) Battery life is excellent. Expect 3 hours of screen life. If you use 3 hours of screen life as soon as you pull it off the charger it's gonna die. If you use 3 hours of screen life over the course of 18 hours it'll die then.
5.) The biggest complaint initially was that we didn't have s-off/root for the DNA when I first came over. Now that we do and we have many roms to choose from it's not that big of a deal. The phone is really awesome and well worth it. I wouldn't say it's an upgrade from the S4 but I think it can trade blows with the S4. As mentioned above the colors with the new kernels are much better and the screen is just magnificent. The only other complaint I have about the DNA is that it isn't the One.
Thanks guys. I'm still debating on it. I've always loved HTC. I've had the inc1, inc2, rezound so I'm thinking I'd like to have this one too. Just wish it had a 32gb edition.
And the emojis are the little android characters like smilies.

Have the s4 also but definitely prefer using my DNA. For me storage isn't a problem. With the DNA I get a anywhere from 3.5 to a little more than 4 hours screen on time with the s4 easily 6 hours. Biggest complaint? Just wished HTC had gone a bit bigger on the battery but that still doesn't stop me from choosing to use it over the s4. The feel of this beauty in hand just craps on the s4.

I think the thing I like best about the DNA vs. the S4 is the fully unlockable bootloader. The S4 does not have this. There is the bootloader bypass method, but no true unlock. And Samsungs latest kernels block root on a kernel level, so I could see development on the non-GPE S4 drying up all of a sudden.
I also like the fact that the DNA is fully gsm unlocked.
Thanks guys. I'm really considering it. I was messing with my old rezound and it made me miss HTC. I'm stuck between trading for a DNA or waiting for Verizon to drop the HTC one.

Honestly the dna is an incredible device but it is not the one. If I were you I would go for the newer one then the dna (boom sound, 4.7 instead of 5 inch screen, and it's freaking made of metal) if you choose the dna it will not disappoint by any means though.

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.

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've been slowly making the switch from my Verizon Note 2 to the HTC One on T-Mobile and I've quickly learned a few things.
1. That initial realization that the Note just can't be compared to any other standard sizes phone. There is no way I could say either the One or the Note is better just because they were designed for two completely different ways of use. But the only thing I'm going to miss from Samsung is the multi-window feature. I'll live without the pen.
2. Removable storage. there was something really convenient about being able to swap SD cards depending on my day. I have a music card and a video card that I would switch out if I was going to work or just vegging on the couch while beaming videos to the tv.
I've seen many times people talking about switching phones and almost immediately coming back to the Note, but there's a more specific switch I had to make in my daily routine to make me not want to come running back. I mean, the One is in no way a small phone, but when set next to the Note, it looks like a 4.3 inch phone. That's where I'm having to make the switch. The fact the my phone needs to be a phone is where the One becomes a better fit for me.
TLDR Peace yall. I'm moving to the HTC One.

I left Verizon in April this year and made that stupid decision to try tmobile again. In fact I too had the HTC one. I loved the phone, so smooth. I just couldn't live with spotty coverage and no signal at my office. I came back to Verizon this month and have the note 2. Everyone tells me that I sound so much clearer and louder than how I sounded on the HTC one. Plus my husband HATED when I was on blue tooth with the HTC one, he said it sounded like I was talking behind a grinder or a blender with rocks in it. Not the case with the note2, very clear. Plus the final straw was not receiving text messages and missing dozens of calls even with a signal. You will be back to Verizon, trust me it's worth every penny!

Two things, both personal opinions:
1. HTC sucks
2. Tmob sucks more than HTC.
The HTC one actually performs very well, just not sure if every HTC one is plagued with poor sound quality with calls. Since I got the note 2 I can't see how I survived with anything smaller. Great screen, love the multi-task feature and the s pen. And yes, t-mobile does suck.

I came from a nexus 5. Right away the signal is dramatically better, and the wifi is the best I have ever seen in a phone. I have had htc one m7, galaxy s4, and nexus 5 before this. Nexus 5 was great, but the roms all look the same. CM based this and that. At lease with this I can flash sense or gpe rom if I start to miss my nexus. Battery is about 50% better than nexus. Build quality is no comparison. Sound no comparison. Speed is about the same. Camera on nexus is sharper, but the edit tab on m8 is sooo sick with the ufocus and 3d moving. Really cool, it makes my wife who is a die hard iPhone girl start to question her phone. M8 is about 1/4 inch taller than nexus but feels good in my hand but I can really notice that 1/4 inch when I put it in my back pocket which is where I always keep my phones. Im used to it now, but just pointing it out. I love the always live digitizer so I can swipe to wake etc without battery drain like the nexus 5 kernels. The only thing I kind of miss is the wireless charging. If you are a phone junky like me, it is a great upgrade. I sold my nexus 5 16 gig with wireless charger on craigslist for $370.
I still have my nexus 5,and sold my g2. This is a worthy upgrade to either device. And it was hard for me to give up my g2.

So coming from an S4 you actually like the M8? I'm stuck between the M8 and S5. The only thing holding me back is the camera

yea man, i loved my Google Play S4 but was getting tired of it. 4.4.2 on the GPE S4 has so many camery bugs (front facing camera was always blurry, boot animation would always freeze)
love the M8 for a skinned android phone, very very happy with my decision
Sold my nexus 5 and iPhone 5c to get this device very worth it so far! Love the speakers

Look at the thread where the camera shots are being uploaded by users. The camera isn't bad at all.

I have both a Nexus 5 and the M8 and I actually like the Nexus better. It is smaller so it is easier to handle. I don't have huge hands. The M8 is pretty though. I will use the M8 as my back up for a while.
