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.
It looks really good, I am thinking about leaving HTC and jumping on to LG (especially since the One mAx has been confirmed not to be running the snapdragon 800.
But how to you thing development will be?

Wish that Oppo would drop in the US with the touch panel on the back of the device. Or the Mi3!
If the One Max has an S4 or an SD600 im going to consider the Note 3 but im really liking the Nexus 5 rumors right about now also. Tough decision next month.

I dont think I would trade my s4 for it. The main reason is that is is LG. I had the thrill which was in my opinion was one of the best feature filled phones but there was no software upgrade/fix support. After spending all of the time modding I went and bought the s4 and gave the thrill to my sister. I love the s4 user community and would never go back.

So I have my hands on this beast now! I started out with a Nexus 4, traded for an Oppo Find 5, then traded that for a Note2 traded that for a Xperia Z, traded that for a Galaxy S4, then traded that for a HTC One, then traded that for an LG G2!
I am keeping my eye out for the Moto X, its intriguing to me...BUT not over the LG G2, this thing lasts ALL day on battery.
My question now is.... am I holding the original designed phone that the Nexus 5 is being made out of? Should I consider getting the Nexus 5? I dont care for the stock Android thing or updates because I am rooted so that is not a factor.
Maybe you should get into cars. Start off with a pinto, end up with a Lamborghini.

Yeah man all of my trades were done locally through Craigslist, every one always tells me " I dont have the money you have to always having a newer phone" I am like WTF? I never pay full price for my phones. I always trade... its so dumb to me that people think they have to stick with the phone they signed a 2 year contract with...SMH
I honestly didn't think i would get someone to trade my HTC One for a G2, but when I got that offer i made sure to do it ASAP!
Anyways what do you guys think? Or better yet what would you do? go for the N5 or stick with G2?

You are guys very lucky!
In my country it is very difficult to trade phones. We usually sell used and buy used or new. This process causes loss of money as you know!
I have always tried to trade but never worked! (Most of the time trades are just not logical ; like an s3 for a blackberry curve or such)

Honestly the only thing thats a big factor are the prices. The lg g2 is better then the nexus 5 IF you are rooted (pure android). Bought my lg g2 from a guy that didnt need for 500 bucks. 50 dollar difference than the nexus 5 that just came out. just got cyanogen on it and it'll work as good as the nexus 5. The nexus 5 only had the pure android experience and the price as an advantage. I got both of these from my LG g2 so for me there was no point in getting the nexus 5.

Someone offered me a 2013 Nexus 7 and a HTC One for my White 32gb Note 3. I am pretty sure i am getting the G2. Really would love the N5 , but Google play says it won't leave the wear house for 3 weeks and I don't have anything to b use til thenn can't 3 weeks for a phone...I hear the G2 is pretty dope and almost the same performance wise as the note 3. I am nervous I am gonna miss this note 3 too much tho. Just can't hand not being able to rom/kernel all that good stuff.
Still thinking about that Nexus 7 and HTC ONE trade.

Thanks, same here on the S-Pen... I think the size will be perfect as sometimes I find my N3 just a tad too big.
Also came from the note 2. I loved the device, but I do prefer a more vanilla, or less convoluted experience than Touch whiz. The tw features that I actually used and where useful to me are present on the g3. The camera is night and day compared to the note 2. Takes great more natural looking shots than the s5 imo. I did use the s-pen when I remembered it was there... It was always more of a novelty to me. I could no longer justify the price tag that the note 4 is sure to come with when the g3 has the size and features I actually use, and your able to get them for a steal on contact at $99. I've loved the non Samsung/touch whiz change.
I'm sure the note 4 will not disappoint, but the g3 has been an excellent experience so far.
I had the note 2 and 3 .... This was something to play with till the note 4 comes out

Okay...
Yeah at 99.00 this phone is a steal and the note 4 will undoubtedly be the 349.00 price which is a lot. If the note 4 gets the so called retina scan feature i still doubt id get one.

I traded my note 3 for this brand new LG G3 off craigslist and a few things stand out. The battery last longer and the display is beautiful and the camera is sick with the instant focus. I hate when a phone have issues trying to focus or just not fast at doing it. Couldn't believe it has the same screen size as the note but yet feels smaller which is awesome. The sound is from the external speaker a little louder and crisper too. Its a good phone from LG.

It's a black note 3 on sprint. I never looked to see if they had a unlock method. I just bought the phone to mess around with it. I own many devices. It is in mint condition. I already have a gold g3. I always like to have two of the devices I mainly use. If really interested then pm me and we will work out the trade.

I am coming from a Note 2. I am not at all disappointed with the phone, except the battery. I take it off the charger at 5am and can't seem to get past 3pm no matter my settings. I am also disappointed with development. I understand it's got limitations with boot loader, but the S2 and GN2 had root and custom ROMS within days of release. If I would have read more into development with LG phones, I would have waited for the GN4.

You might get yourself up to speed. Things have changed since the Note 2. Have you seen the development for the Note 3? Expect worse for the N4! Pray for safestrap let alone root for the N4!
Another thing ive come to enjoy on this vs the note 2 you can add themes to individual message threads which although no big deal none of my other phones stock messaging had that feature

Not to me its not. 2k display. HD audio. Form factor is just beautiful. I don't think I can go back to buttons on side of the phone lol. My last phone was a note 2 it was good but my data always sucked and grew tired of seeing Samsung's colorful cartoon looking icons. Oh yeah Knox.
My next phone is probably gonna be the HTC m9 after or m10 after playing with my wife's m8. That's depending what lg G4 or 5 does. If the rumors are correct about them adding a stylus to directly compete with the note, count me out. There's always nexus.

I can't see taking a step back being worth it. If you're considering it I'm assuming you're not happy with the g3. If that's the case I don't think you would be any happier with the note 3. I'm a Samsung fan myself and still couldn't see stepping down to note 3. Now the note 4 I would be willing to trade for though. Anyways good luck in your decision.

After much thinking. I've decided not to proceed with the trade. I am happy with the g3. For a split second there some features of the note series caught my eye. I decided that I like the features of lg a bit better than touchwiz. Thanks for both of your opinions.

Coming from a note 2 and now being on the G3 for 3 weeks, I don't miss the features of the note 2. I never used it as intended, I never used the stylus, no need for it and I review documents for a living. People that do use it idk how or why, other than to look cool and show off. I could never comfortably write on it. A 10"+ tab, sure that I could use but the note phone screen never worked well for me that way.
I like the G3, it was a nice change and upgrade from the note 2.
The idea of the stylus is very enticing right now. But not enticing enough for me to make the swap. Realistically, I don't know what I would use it for.

I tried to incorporate it but just never found a real necessary use for the stylus.
I got the note 2 for the bigger screen. At the time it was the only mainstream device over 5" I think. It replaced my tablet and a lot of my laptop uses too. But now I have a device with the same screen size and it's lighter and easier to hold and use. Plus I really don't mind the stock LG skin.
