Anyone planning to upgrade?

Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.

Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Exactly!!! This phone is good enough! Just dual core and bigger battery!! Camera upgrade is optional!

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.

My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I've had this phone for close to a year n still not bored with it. Anyone who sees it always has something good to say bout it. Personally I feel it is a very well manufactured phone n with ics it shud b the best performer in its segment cos I heard ics is freakingly stable!!

I sold my IncS and bought a One X instead. And i have no regrets so far

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk

Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.

The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

Nexus is a good phone but the money u pay for it is not what u get ...earlier nexus were great and up to the mark but the recent one is just plain odd for a flagship phone!! Hope HTC makes the next nexus! And I recently had a chance to use the xperia s .. must say for the price I was impressed and it has a pretty good battery life!!

Aah... Again... I guess it has something to do with cost control!! Btw whatever happened to the rezound ... Its disappeared suddenly!! Its a one s with 720p screen isn't it!! Would love to buy it for cheap!!

No one's planning for the s3... Just announced recently!! What's the thoughts on that?

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.
My contract ends this time next year :/
IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big

Popular Apps

I am thinking about buying this phone, but I was wondering how well popular apps like draw something or temple run work on it? I am obsessed with them and need a phone that is good with these apps. I don't really want an iphone anymore and i have an upgrade coming up.

Yes they will I have both and they work perfectly

Guess its a preference thing...I like sense...especially compared to touch wizzard and motocrap...sense is a little 'heavy' with 4.0 though..can't wait for damn bootloader to be unlocked...but that's just first hurdle..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device
Sent from my HTC Vivid via Tapatalk

you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.

I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.

Vivid Rocks man , anyday

I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.

I wanted to see how cracked is your screen is. Can you post up some pics of it...?
Edit: NVM found it...

you can always flash a sensless rom. then you might fall in love with the vivid again. once you rip out sense and att apps, the device starts to perform

Thanks, but already tried that! Its pretty close to the Nexus, but I still like the Nexus more I highly reccomend BOTH of these phones!

New White Vivid Owner ;)

Hey guys,
I bought the phone today, used just for a week 4 $200,
At&t white version, and im loving it, guy included a hard case white snap on cover, green & black hard plastic one, and a blue otterbox defender series!
So any tip or trick or hack let me know!
Cheers!

I thought about getting the white one, good choice. Welcome!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

The white version is pretty sharp, I wished I had the white version.
Tip 1
If you're planning on staying with S-On, just know you'll have to do things differently than those with S-Off.
Tip 2
Don't try and do S-Off until you've read how the procedure is done.
I kinda went at everything blind without reading, which caused me a few problems along the way. I was very fortunate to have the good people of this forum come to my rescue, I'm finally enjoying my HTC Vivid. Happy flashing!

yeah...read, read, and READ lol, but i suggest doing s off once youve read a lot about it and are comfortable...its a lot easier then it sounds-i finally got the guts to do it the other day...it was surprisingly easy and i got it first try...
i was so afraid of doing it cause you have to pretty much short out the phone...but i had already disassembled the phone to change the capacitive button colors to green so i figured if i could do that then i could do s-off

How can you get that price? I looked on ebay but only 250$++

Look on Craigslist.
There are several in my area Craigslist going for $175. I was able to trade my Evo Shift straight up for the HTC Vivid to someone from Craigslist, Good Luck!

OK... As much as I love my Vivid is going towards my wife as of today. I somehow ended up in a AT$T store today and used up my friend's upgrade that he didn't need, and now I'm rocking a brand new HTC one X, which I really love so far. I'm a little worried about the battery life, but so far isn't bad at all. As much as I wanted to go for the galaxy s3, just didn't cut it for me... To be honest I mostly fell for the one x's sexyness ...

Got my blue one :D

Besides aesthetics, are there any differences between the models?
Im coming from the original epic 4g so this is a super upgrade lol.
Ive seen some of the guides and am kinda confused....i want to root my phone and take stuff like facebook off, but i really dont understand how to go about it with the bootloader.
Never had to worry about that with my epic, so im pretty ignnorant. Do i HAVE to unlock bootloader? And if i do, are there
any drawbacks to using htcdev to do it?
Im still getting used to the forum layoit....not sure ive seen all relevant info because theres just so much with 2 development pages lol dont really know where i should be looking...
Sent from my HTCONE using xda-developers app

The two development sections are mainly for rom development, so you won't find what you need there. You should find the answers to most of your questions in Q&A or General
Here's a link to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277892

Woot! I came from the Epic as well. Welcome to the One. In about 2 weeks, if you still have the Epic, pick it up. I guarantee your first thought will be "how did I ever get by with such a small device?" Lol. I've been rooted since it was available and the only drawback to dev unlock is the wiping process.
This thing isn't quite as impossible to brick as the Epic but its close. RUU can save most anything but I wouldn't experiment with trying to brick it
I'd give Sense 5 ROMs a try first and see how you like it. If that's not for you then you've got similar ROMs the Epic had. And CM10.2 is extremely stable over here. We're hoping for a 4.3 Sense 5 leak/OTA soon as well. Otherwise follow the guides and you should be good.
And I don't believe there are differences besides appearance.

I'm a week out from my upgrade, and I was originally in the black camp. I'm definitely getting the blue. Its such a good looking phone. Also, I'm holding out hope that the blue might be a little tougher finish than the black, and I swear it feels different in the hand, a little more.. rough? but I could just be going crazy.

I have the Black HTC One for about a month now, no scratches or any issues!

I ordered my Blue one from bestbuy.com on the 15th and it still hasn't shipped :\
Contacted customer support and they said its been backordered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Is it really that popular or am I getting screwed over somehow?
