I've been noticing people commenting that they've been a long time HTC user, going back to the hero or even the G1.
Reading these comments makes me feel very old, lol. Just wanted to get an idea of how many generations current HTC users have been through....
My first HTC device was the audiovox XV6600 on Verizon (aka blue angel).
After owning that phone for 2 years jumped to sprint with the 6800 -> 6900 -> diamond -> touch pro -> hero -> EVO and now the 3D.
I may actually pass on upgrading this year for the first time. Not because I have any qualms with the LTE, but because I'm actually satisfied with the 3D.
I don't think some you guys understand how far HTC's build quality has come over the years.
The touch pro was by far the most killer phone at the time on paper, but the phone was put together terribly. I couldn't bare to own most of those phones for more than 6 months let alone a year. The 3D is the first one that has held up physically and still runs lightening fast.
I think we've finally reached the point of diminishing returns.

First phone was an iPhone then at&t screwed me so I cancelled and got a hero even thou that phone was ridiculously slow I immediately fell in love Lmao.. have had every EVO since and just preordered my LTE I love android but i must say I'm an HTC fanboy the feel of the their phones along with the usefullness of sense to me is the perfect compliment to android. Only phone line id ever consider is a nexus and if HTC ever makes one again I'm in. Well maybe sense is hard to part with

As far as build quality goes, they have all been relatively the same. Every phone has had its cons and flaws in terms of build quality. They've all certainly had "light-bleed" which is one department HTC can't seem to remedy.
Overall HTC's build quality has always been decent. It's not nearly as spectacular as most people make them out to be, but they are definitely one of the better manufacturers.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (made by HTC), then had a desire and now have my EVO 3d

first I had the Mogul (6800), then Touch Pro, Hero, Evo 4G and now the 3D.
contemplating moving to Samsung for my next device, it depends on the rootability and dev community around the Evo 4G LTE
I had an HTC Touch Viva: mi first venture into the world of smartphones it was fast for all i nedded, not many games though and i still have it then in one year i bought a used HTC TytnII: omg that phone was awesome it had everything but then android came so i loaded it with android and i instantly loved it. Then to start my jorney into android i bought a Xperia X10a my only choices were that or the sgs or captivate in at&t branding which looked really ugly and i didn't like the camera so i went with the X10 i had a really awesome time with the phone all the issues and stuff but in the end it held up now im using my bros inspire 4g and i like it but im using it until i get to buy another phone wich i think will be sgs3 cause i would have loved the one x but the non expandable memory doesn't cut it for me i also thought of the xperia ion but stupid at&t or sony idk whose fault it is that the phone ain't released yet -_- but by the time that gets here it will be to old and the only redeamimg feature would be the 12mp camera so thats my phone history also all of them still work and i still play with them from time to time ^^ and i think i wrote too much lol

how are you jumping off your 3d so fast?
arent yearly upgrades gone?
---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------
1. the first point i would like to ask is how is everyone moving from the evo 3d to the LTE? evo 3d came out a year ago as of april, since this time they removed the option for yearly upgrades....the reason im asking this is i would love to swap over however i still have a year left with my evo3d before upgrade...
anways my first HTC phone was the tmobile wing (and oh boy with winmo 6 a load of fun)
since then ive owned g1 / g2 / mytouch / mytouch 4g / mytouch 4g slide / evo 4g / evo 3d
ive owned a few other phones inbetween but those are the htc phones i remember owning

First android. Love being in control. Want to sell iPad for something a little more privacy concious after three months with Ios!
treo 755 (HTC made) -> Centro (HTC made) -> HTC touch (vogue)-> Mogul (titan) -> Touch Pro (raph)-> Treo pro (HTC made) -> Hero -> Og Evo -> Evo Shift -> Evo 3D
I love Htc, i have ran android since the 1.0 days and love their hardware. I am debating jumping ship though, i hate this locked bootloader BS.
I'm in need of a new phone and my eye caught the One X :laugh: Is it really worth buying?
I will be basically needing a phone for shooting photos (also in dark), shootings videos, video calls, texting, a little of gaming and surfing the web.
How long does the battery of the One X last? I know this battery is not replaceable, is it a problem?
In my opinion I don't like the SIII much So overall is the One X worth buying? how long will the battery last if I did the basic thing I do with a phone?
And what is the current price of the One X now? will the price drop in the future?
Thank you :good:
Goto phone shop. Hold one x in your hand. It hits all the rights notes.
Seriously though its a awesome phone with great battery life, and even better when u root it and add a custom Rom.

No the price will not drop even when HTC brings a new flagship phone out. HTC One X will the same price for years to come.

hox and great battery life? only if you use another phone instead and let it idle...
i think good feedback comes mostly from guys trying to actually sell it
Battery life
It works fine if used not very often.
I have the money to buy HTC One X+ and waiting for its launch in India. I was also interested in seeing the launch of LG Nexus 4 but now it is coming up that the google nexus event has been cancelled.
Should I wait for Nexus 4 and decide to buy or buy One X+ as soon as possible ?
For me you should wait nexus 4.It will give you the best of android.No more sense UI or waiting for updates to come.The Specs are great too.The only thing that might be painful is the lack of microSD.Cheers
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
So LG Nexus 4 would be a better choice.
I would better wait for a youtube video which will have full comparison.
Just wait for HTC J butterfly if you can wait a bit long. Or atleast nexus 4.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
HTC stated that they have no plans launch HTC J Butterfly in India. They just wants to bring HTC One X+ in India market as fast as possible.
I can wait till my birthday which is on 12 December.
You should definitely wait for the devices to come out before making a purchase. There've been rumors that Nexus will have not expandable 8gigs of ROM which is unacceptable no matter what specs it sports. Also the battery life is more or less mystery right now and from my experience the last Nexus lasted like 1.5 hours of screen time and current HOX is not really a marathon runner either...
Best advice is always wait for the release and see how it stands up in real world use. I'm leaning towards the 1X+ but I'm waiting.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
Yea id wait until your birthday and compare them
Thanks all of you guys.

Maybe its my mental mind but can you post pic that you really have it.
Im finding it a bit hard to believe you received it on a sunday.
Afaik there isnt a delivery on sundays

I am not from UK, but like in my country i am convinced that you have shops open on weekends, for example in a big comercial space, mall etc.
As far as i know only O2 has it on stock.
Yes only o2 other carriers have no release date for the device, I love it coming from a HD2 the battery is great and evrything is smooth, the one x suffered from an anoying lag on menu press the + has nothing, overall use is butter smooth and the phone is great sense 4+ is great also only speed has been improved, and the cool red looks good

Quick question and sorry to hijack the thread, but did they fix the multitasking f**k up they had with the original One X? It always reloaded apps such as the browser.

There are some improvements yes, i left a browser closed for 10 minuets and relaunched from multitask and it opened fine, some apps like 02 balance closes and reopens but that is unstable at the best of times

I'm between this one x plus or the galaxy note 2 ughh not sure what to get.

So what happens in a year when the ones battery needs replacing? It got the lowest score ever on ifxit so replacing the battery seems impossible. Has anyone else considered this as a major drawback of the phone. I imagine it will greatly effect resale value as well considering no one is going to be interested in buying a used one with hundreds of cycles already on the battery or a battery that wont hold a charge.
I'm sure you can ship it to htc for replacement for a hefty fee but doing it urself isn't going to happen it seems.
major flaw in my opinion.
No different than my iPhone. Instead of Apple dealing with it I will have HTC deal with it.

By then they will have a new phone out that they'll entice us with.

My HTC Inspire has a 27 month old battery that still lasts like it did when I got it new. Not worried about replacing the battery in a year or even 2 years.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I know it's probably not a big help to the OP, but I'd suggest that would be a reason for purchasing some sort of extended warranty on the phone. When I got mine at Costco earlier this month, I paid $99 for a 2 year SquareTrade warranty that supposedly covers everything (including drops and spills).
I'm normally not one for purchasing these types of warranties unless it's on big ticket items (and even then it's a crap shoot for me), but I figured that $99 upfront and a $25 fee if (when?) a replacement is needed within 2 years is reasonable - especially considering the purchase price of the phone when I got it ($129).
Short of doing that, I'll guess that HTC will have some sort of battery replacement service available for the One when it's needed - which hopefully won't be for a long time.

I can count on maybe two fingers the number of iPhone owners I know who have had to have a battery replaced. I'm not worried at all about this issue. I think perhaps people here are just getting adjusted to non-user-replaceable batteries.
Don't think you'll need to replace the battery within a year. More like 2-3 years. By then you could upgrade or have HTC replace the battery.

I got my iPhone 3GS in November of 09 and sold it 2 years later to a guy I work with that is still using it today ...thats a 3.5 year old battery that still works fine. If you take care of it, it will last a very long time.
That was worse case scenario. Buddy of mine went from the original iPhone to the 4S and his battery was still doing fine.

one battery can use alomost 2-3 years. and we always change a new phone before the battery is dying.

The iphone battery is a hell of a lot easier to replace yourself though. Same goes for Nexus 4, One X and One S etc.
From what I'v heard/seen there is a 2 year guarantee from HTC on smartphones with built-in battery, so just let it be replaced withing that timespan. If you need details, just ask htc directly.

I'm with you, HTC is one of the better manufacturers out there
I actually don't have the HTC One. I've got a Note 2 instead with a HTC One S as a backup/going out parting phone
Truth be told though I do kinda wish I got this phone instead. I love the Sense UI and have had 6 HTC phones in a row prior to the Note 2.
Unfortunately the battery being sooooo sooo difficult to replace yourself did worry me in the end, but if I could turn back time...

I have a one s I bought used and the battery is perfect still. Previously I had one phone that needed a battery replacement, desire hd I bought used. Seller didn't tell me it was shot but it was. Probably 2.4 years old.
Other than that I've had a 3 year old nexus one with original battery still within about 15% of new capacity and a 2 year old desire that was the same. My friend's desire is going on 3 and its fine with original battery too. So my experience with HTC battery longevity is pretty good.

If the battery fails in 1-2 years, call an HTC rep, you'll be surprised at how capable they actually are. You can easily talk one of them into sending you a refurbished device. They will have some extras laying around. I promise you.
