i used it today and its def not worth it. Screen looks the same. It was actually a little slow and idk i prefer the amaze a lot more. Switch isnt worth it
Esp since ics our phone feels faster than the one s which is sad
even tho with roms itll be faster
I tried out the one s today and its a fantastic phone, but not having expandable store is a no go for me, not to mention the lack of a menu button is hard to get used to *seriously*
I do have to say its butter smooth and the sense 4.0 features are nice but not worth the switch for me.
Edit; was blown away by the quality of the screen though, perfect black scales and no lag

I played with the 1S today too. I was doing speed test to load certain pages and the Amaze kept up and at certain times was faster. The non-expandable storage is a negative for me too. The phone felt nice, screen was nice and all but like others have said, its not worth upgrading it from the Amaze.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Yeah... i dont know what the OP is talking about. must have been playing with a defect or something lmao.
never, ever judge a phone by a display model.. those phones are on 24/7 and pretty much never get rebooted (which you need to do every once in a while on android).
the screen on the one s is FAR superior than the amaze screen. talking about colors, viewing angles, and visible outdoors.

I heard it wasnt good outdoors.
Does anyone have the spec differences of the Amaze and One S. That no SD card really gets to me man. I need more space. I have 2 batteries for the Amaze because the battery life is not that good. I couldnt imagine having a phone where I cant take out the battery either.
Not another one s vs amaze thread...

I dunno that does not look like a sunny day to me lol. I read that review, then I read this review that says alot of negative stuff about the screen and camera. I dont know what to believe lol
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/04/25/t-mobile-htc-one-s-review
I just did a full upgrade with TMO.... I initially wanted the One X but TMO US doesn't carry it. And none of my lines qualify for any upgrade, but TMO US was very nice and gave me a courtesy full upgrade I took the plunge.....
Now I have both Amaze in ICS and One S. And my Amaze is 2 weeks old since I had them replace it when I dropped it.
I'll post comparisons once I get the One S. For the courtesy and full upgrade price, I was not able to resist the urge.
But in no way am I letting go of the Amaze, it's such an awesome phone especially now we have ICS leaked out.

you do realize you're comparing a review from a gaming to a review from a tech website where they review tons of things daily... lol
look at some of the picture on the post towards the end. doesnt really matter though. htc made both the one x and one s to have great viewing angles and very visible outside. they didnt make the amaze to have either.

You don't have to be a farmer to know what sh*t smells like.
I've got this phone on on order from 3 to replace my One X. A bit gutted about the bootloader situation but there you go...
I've tried the XZ for at least 15 minutes in the 3 store and I'm more than happy with the screen/viewing angles, performance, UI etc. and I feel reassured from another thread in XDA that the battery will be at least no worse than my one x.
The unanswered question for me is the camera.
I'd hugely appreciate it if some of you guys who already have it would be prepared to share their thoughts.
The reviews are mixed to say the least.
Thanks in advance guys and gals!!

Just real world use. I've read all of the reviews and they seem to range from dreadful to good. I'm looking for decent photos but I'm not really fussy so I was hoping that the people who already have the phone could confirm if they were happy or not.

i've read all the reviews in the first 3 or 4 pages on google...
no one puts the camera in "cons" section, the worse one sais that is aligned to last year flagships, and that is not "entusiastic", others say it's very good, others excellent...
no one says dreadful or crap about it
i would see at gsmarena pics, those are made in same conditions on all phones, so it's a valid measurement system, others are just "ambient dependant" and "photographer" dependant...
Thanks for the reply, I was really looking for feedback from anyone who actually had the phone and a few days experience if possible.
hey. i got my phone till yesterday and did a few shots here and there. i cant really compare to anything spec related, since my last phone was a SGS2,
and i am by no means a camera enthusiast.
what can i say, i like the quality^^ the videos look snappy, the pictures too, so theres that. not really helpfull at all, but im surely not disappointed if this means anything to you.
NOT sent from my Xperia Z - but felt like bragging
edit: one function i really like is the automatic mode detection, puts on macro if you need it and so on. the panorama mode is nice and fast and the focus is accurate and fast too.

Thanks Mate, that's exactly what I was after :good:
Go to Youtube and find this video: Xperia Z Vs iPhone 5 - SHOOTOUT - Which is Best?
Hope it can help you.
I just purchased my new HTC one and I love it, it's a remarkable phone. However I have found something that seems rather odd. When using the front facing camera, if you are not centered in the field of view, you are distorted and stretched out. This could be an effect of the wide angle lens, but I am not sure. I just want to be sure I do not have a defective unit and should try to return it. I have attached two pictures, one with myself in the center of the shot, and the other with myself in the bottom of the shot showing the distortion I am talking about.
Thanks for your help!

Brave man. Putting pictures of yourself on the internet (even in the name of science). Pretty soon there's going to be the evanogrady meme generator.
Anyway mine does the exact same thing. I'm just not as secure as you to prove it with pictures.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Mine does the same thing, seems like the nature of wide-angle lenses. You have to get it as far away from you as possible and aim it dead center...
LOL, I was considering not posting the pictures, but felt like it was necessary to properly explain my point haha.
& I'm glad it's not just my unit doing this, I was watching videos of the front facing camera online and none of them had the level of distortion that my camera is showing!
Maybe a test image of a square grid would be useful

Hi
How will you rate oneplus3 at ? 1-10
Do mention the reasons ..
I m using oneplus1 and confused if I should buy it or not?
I have it since Saturday. I'd recommend it to anyone who's in the market for a new phone for whatever reason they might have. For me, it offers the best overall package in the Android world right now. If you don't mind ugly OEM skins (I do), you could probably go with the S7 line or if you don't mind spending more cash, then the HTC10.

never settle. I've got it. yeah. once I got I download the oxygen rom from forum immediately.. cool !!!
I always planned on get op3,but as my contract was up I got a HTC 10, very nice phone but didn't strike me as much of an upgrade on my two year old xeperia Z2. Got my op3 yesterday and is given me more of a buzz than the HTC, which is on ebay.
Personally I'd recommend it wholeheartedly, the only thing missing for me is SD support, and with Google breaking that in mm, I don't really see that as an issue anymore.
A solid 9/10 from me.
Absolutely. For the money, it's a great feeling, solid phone that really flows. If you want to spend a lot, the yea, buy a Samsung or an HTC. For near stock strong contender with excellent customisation ability, get OP3 - 9/10 (not perfect because of the memory issue and no SD slot)

I agree... but the RAM should be optimized further in future Oxygen builds? In my experience, the SD card has created issues when it becomes corrupt... and it won't be as fast as reading from internal memory (good rebuttal from OP). It would be easy to say they should have offered a 128GB model but I know they wanted to keep costs down as much as possible. I've found with the previous OP devices that 64GB is just enough for my requirements
One issue I have is it was great they made all the Kernel sources available... but not the Dash Charge?? wtf lol
Mine is still in the mail so I can't officially recommend it but based on all the reviews I've read so far it's very promising :highfive:

Proximity ambient display prob. and camera performance
How u guys are finding the proximity display hand waving waving feature in your OP3 ..in my case im finding not so smooth...means I have to wave my hand very closely to the device screen to lit it... is it the same with u guys or just waving hand over frm a distance is doing the thng for u..kindly reply and also give solutions on how can I improve on the same.
Camera performace I guess is pretty gud in OP3 ..ya focusing closer objects is an issue...(it takes some time) but i guess thts just a software glitch...which can be corrected via updates....rest the phone till now hasnt disappointed
without a doubt id recommend this thing to anyone. its even got dev support before most people have it in hand. thats about on par with the nexus phones.
Guys!! I'm totally blown away in the first hour here!!!! Amazing amazing! Not one single complaint... See screenshots and photos.. The device is completely bone stock. Just totally amazed so far. I was prepared to be extremely critical seeing how I'm a diehard HTC and Nexus fan but... But... well, the proof is in the photos lol. https://goo.gl/photos/RgwFUT3Rwhyt6XJL6
I've had it for two days. Pretty impressive. Nothing bad that I can think of. I give it solid 10 for it meets all my expectations.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Maybe a 7/10. The hardware is great for $400, but the stock software has weird bugs, like camera photos coming out green unless I use raw, and I've heard the customer service is a nightmare if you have to deal with them. At least the developer support is booming so far. CM and PA save the day again.

Yes sir! I've had almost every Android device on the market since I don't know when and this device has impressed me more than anyone I've had yet.. nothing about it that's wrong!! The camera is simply amazing, screen is great, size is perfect, feels great in the hand!!! And I'm comparing it with the 6p and HTC 10 both of which were/are my daily drivers! Time will tell on battery life and stability but so far I haven't found a single bug.

I like the video generally, a much better job than I could do. :good:
2 points (they are my opinions only remember haha);
1) when you do the photo comparisons section, the music/ theme of the review seems to suddenly change, and then change back. It doesn't flow.
2) Again, in the photo comparison section, all the photos are pixelated. You get an overall idea of image comparison, but pixelated images are a shame!
Top man for doing it though, keep on keeping on!

when you add music tracks, do it after cutting or adding to the video...
I didn't see all of it yet, but what I saw looked pretty good. I noticed the pixelated photos too, so would be good if you can fix that. Personally I would say make them fill the screen more too, even if you have to crop them to do them both together, or one after the other.
Another very small point, but when you're sat in front of the camera on the steps, there's too much sky. It is a small point, but it's a pet peeve of mine, usually from people taking photos. They put the head in the centre of the shot and end up with loads of sky or ceiling ?
Love that you have a proper/half decent mic though, so many reviewers don't bother about audio.
