So im getting a vivid thursday in a trade on here and i was wondering is it going to be a major stepup from my infuse? Im running a 2.3.6 gingerbread rom on it.
Oh yeah, massive step up from the infuse. Screen will probably be about the same, same size, vivid's screen res is hgher, but the infuse has no pentile so it'll be about the same there. As far as hardware though you got 2 cores, and twice the ram too, and you got Android 4.03. Also sense > touchwiz, and LTE is faster than HSPA+ which is what the infuse has.
Overall the infuse is really just an overclocked captivate with a nicer screen, and Captivate is what i upgraded from. I definitly like the vivid better, but I will warn you on one thing, if you like putting custom roms on, its a little bit more difficult. Not extremely difficult, but its different put it that way.
thanks man. Yea i took the same upgrade from a captivate to a infuse. I aint too worried about flashing roms as i use to run android and ubuntu on my rhodium ;p.
Yeah I've left my vivid stock, I got my flyer to mess with roms and such on

What up Sean lol...me and you both jumped the infuse ship
Vivid is defintly a step up...a lot smoother I think...don't have an LTE sim so I can't use LTE...really my only complaint is the micro USB port...why did HTC put that in the most awkward spot??? It makes the phone so awkward to use when charging....(its right on the bottom left)
Also I miss the superamoled screen...I know some people don't like superamoled...but I guess I do...or I'm just used to it lol...this screen is already starting to grow on me though...

I was happy i got a infuse as i went to do a insurance claim and they were out of stock so they sent me.a infuse. But its not as good as i thought it would be. I think im going to be pretty happy with the vivid

Hey former infuse owners I gotta ask, a friend of mine just picked up the skyrocket, which has the exact same screen as the infuse, and even though the vivid and skyrocket have the same size screens, is it just me or is Samsungs screen wider?

Yeah...they are the same screen size but the vivid does seem thinner (screen size)...I just figured it was because I did not have a case on the vivid and I was used to a case...but it is possible that maybe the infuse/skyrocket is wider and less tall, while the vivid is taller and thinner...even.my friends thought the vivid was smaller...

When I was on Sprint I had the Evo 4G and upgraded to the Evo 3D. Both 4.3 in screens but the screen imon the 3D wasnt as wide but was a tad taller then the 4G. I found out it was because like the Vivid, the 3D has an qhd display as to where the 4G didn't. The high quality qhd display is what makes it skinnier and taller. And since the skyrocket and Vivid have to different types of displays that is why they seem different in size even though they are both 4.5 inch screens.

Now don't quote me in this but it may because of the qhd resolution.

Different aspect ratios to the screens. I'm pretty sure the Infuse uses a 16:10 and the Vivid uses 16:9.
I figured it was aspect ratio. Thanks guys

Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys

Plastic is a nice thing....
Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

I'm not exactly new here since I've been a member since I got my HTC HD2 way back. I've just never contributed much to these forums. But I've always come here to find new roms and try cool things. I then moved up to a galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I ended up hating that phone so much. Sprints updates really messed it up. So I finally have my HTC One and its the best phone I've ever had. I used to do a lot of different custom Roms on the HD2 but not so much on my newer phones these days. I've only rooted my HTC One for now. I kind of like the Rom that came on it.
Not new to XDA but pretty new to the One forum. I'm coming from the S3, and the following: Motorola Photon, S2, HTC Evo Shift, HTC Evo 4g, HTC Hero, Samsung Instinct 2, Samsung Instinct. I'm sure a few more where in there along the way.
HTC One is hands down the best phone i've owned.

oh yea oh yea oh ya!!
picked up my silver yesterday, coming from evo lte.
its a beauty, the main feature i chose this for was the front speakers. couldnt stand trying to watch a movie or vid clip and have to cup my hands in the back so sound can echo to the front.
I have a month old flawless condition Galaxy S4 White. I'm not to impressed with the Development for this phone lately as it hasn't really been out that much less than the HTC one yet has 1/4 of the development. Ive been with HTC Phones my entire life HTC EVO 4G HTC EVO 3D HTC REZOUND HTC AMAZE I even had a HTC TOUCH DIAMOND. And the last 2 phones I had were the GS4 and the Gnex. I love heavily modded and feature packed roms. And the HTC ONE has all of that. And Mikes rom is doing Amazing on this phone so quite frankly im jealous. I absolutely love my S4 and it does everything I need but me being a crack flasher idk what to do right now and im stuck.
You should do what you're heart tells you. If you want to stick with the S4 do it. If you want a HTC One, buy it Most of the people on the One forum will tell you to ditch the S4 and get a premium aluminum boomsound One ( including me ) Fact is that the S4 and the One both are great high-end devices with excellent development here on XDA. Just do what you think is best!

I'm very happy now, I remember them saying that the Snapdragon S4 would have tons of custom roms.. but the octacore version was much better off .
I think after using the note for a couple of months and I got the S4, I saw nothing different. I think it was software and the build of the phone that got me. Also the development .

This might sound crazy, but I'm wanting to sell my gaming pc to get a nice gaming phone. I had 2 phones in mind, the HTC one or the galaxy s4. Now I know the galaxy s4 is faster cause of the 1.9ghz quad. But for a fact its not better. Because of the HTC one having the front speakers and the metal body and with HTC sense I just love it. Anyway my main question is will the HTC one keep up with games for awhile cause now the nexus 5 is coming out and the note 3 is already here. Also if I get the HTC one which one would be the easiest to s-off. There are a lot of companys that have it. I won't be activating the phone but I will be wanting to s off and unlock..etc. At the moment I have the HTC evo 3d and its good. But mobile gaming is going to get really nice and I'm on my phone much more than my pc anyway. So yeah..the HTC one is what I'm aiming toward but just for some reason i am not sure. Last thing is-will I be able to push the HTC one a lot more with over clocking the GPU and CPU? I watched a video and the highest they got was 1.9ghz cpu if stock is 1.7 why does it mess up only at 1.9? I was hoping at least 2.3ghz to sorta be up to par with the note 3. Anyway I know this phone is still a beast without overclocking if its to much of a hassle for it. Thanks for any help I get. You will be thanked.

HTC is still a top tier phone. It is rootable and easy to s-off. If you install a custom rom and kernel, you can over clock the cpu and gpu up to it's maximum for gaming. But in doing so the battery life will be horrible and the phone will heat up quickly (because of it's metal body). I would recommend this phone 100%.

You can overclock it to 2.3ghz... but the benefit is only extremly minimal! You burn through your battery life.. not the life time for this one cycle.. you **** up your battery if it gets too hot for a longer period of time.. so my advice.. overclock it only to 1.9 if you really want to then you should be good to go
And what about over clocking the GPU could it be about the same speed as the adreno 330?? Also should I wait for the nexus 5?

well it does have the next step over in processing power, and should technically be better at what you want it for, but i still think that the htc one as a whole better package even with the "older" 600 is still a powerhouse that should hold up for a good amount of time into the future.
get the htc one. the s4 may be clocked faster but also has tons of bloatware preinstalled.
Thanks guys. Heres another thing. Please tell me why the HTC one max is using the same parts as the HTC one? It makes no sense..imagine if it had the snapdragon 800 and the adreno 330. That would be the best phone ever!!! But only difference I saw was the screen size and the fingerprint reader (on the back of the phone???)

I say the galaxy s4 cos gaming feels much more stable than the HTC. The amount of customisability on the s4 surpasses the HTC by miles and the s4 is less likely to crash every app you have when over clocked.

I do agree that the s4 is nice and installing custom ROMs will fix the bloatware problem. But one fact is, the HTC one is better than any other smartphone as of now simply because of the front speakers. When you are playing a game you actually feel like you are in it. But god.....I wish the one max was improved performance wise still.....
