Upgrading from Vivid

I'm on AT&T and looking at getting the HTC One X, SG3, or waiting on the note 2. Any advice as to which phone I should I get?

Well, if you had to buy now, I would say you get the Galaxy SIII. You might hate Touchwiz, but if Sense is your thing, there's a port of Sense 4 coming from the Sense4all guys. Performance is good, and you should expect a Jelly Bean rollout soon.
The One X is a good device, but if you plan on rooting it, the 2.20 update (which is on all shipped S4 One X/XL devices) essentially puts you out of luck. The international version is fine, though, and you can also get an official bootloader unlock on it.

i say Siii or wait until the new Samsung note comes out

I say hold off a little longer til you can compare the s3, and note 2 to the One X+. Remember, a variant of the X+ just passed through the FCC, bound for AT&T, just 2 weeks ago. We should hopefully get a definite release date at their events scheduled for tomorrow. My opinion, wait for the Note 2 and X+ to release and compare those 2.

Gonna upgrade too... But waiting on the one x+.

same here looking at the X+ but will it give issues like current HOX users are having now, no root and bootloader locked

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll wait to compare the S3, note 2 and One X+. Maybe the One X+ will be easier to unlock and root versus the current One X.

One X+ looks great, just the thing I've been looking to upgrade to. I really hope its easier to root and unlock bootloader than the current One X.
On a design note, am I the only one who really hates the red soft buttons?
EDIT: Actually it seems as of the AT&T version of the One X+ is going to keep the white capacitive buttons

I had a Vivid and upgraded to the One X, could not be more happier.

Yeah I was just looking at the One X+ and comparing it to the note 2, at phone area and both are great looking phones.
If the One X+ is easier to root i might go with it rather then the note 2 sense i really don't like the touchwiz ui.

Any ideas on what to get? I am so over the vivid that I'm not even going to root or s-off. I filed an insurance claim cause I thought it broke and when the new one was sent out, I fixed the old one. So fml on that. I don't want to be stuck with this much longer.

Go with the s3. My mom just got one and it's a glorious device. Easy to root and plenty of great ROMs to flash. HTC will more than likely continue to give the development community the middle finger.

It does seem like the device to get, but the glass back and lack of lte is a bit of a downer. A reviewer for some company dropped it off a desk and wound up with a major crack on the back. Seems like they could have used a bit more common sense in the design. A case should protect it well enough, but it's still ridiculous that a device of that quality has such a weak exterior.

Yes it does. Just below the screen. Likely full RGB, too.

Nexus 4! Just pay a little more and no contract. In fact, drop AT&T and use StraightTalk.

Selling my phone

Hey guys, I decided that I am going to sell my phone 6 months before my contract ends and get something better.
Since this is only for 6 months, I can't decide between One X and S3, I know S3 is better as a phone but One X is so much nicer and as I said since this is only for these 6 months I don't know what to do.
Which one would you pick?

You should see how one X perform with JB + Sense 4+ before judge with S3.

I got no interest on HOX+ after hamdir confirm what we have now on HOX is the same upgrade HTC do for HOX+.. xda dev is better than HTC dev.. See the score, all in stock..

Thanks guys, phone is on ebay for sale now. Hopefully it will sell and I will get my hands on One X later this week!

SXL is now sold and One X ordered. It's such a shame that I had to switch from this great phone, but lack of developers is that pulled me to the One X side. I'll stay active here and I'll try to get those lazy One X developers to come and do some SXL roms!

[POLL] HTC One (M7) vs Samsung Galaxy S IV

I wanted to see a visual representation of which device people in the Vivid forums are switching too. Im with the S4 :highfive:

S4 for me as well...probably use my upgrade to get the att variant...then ill sell it at close to full retail price and use that towards the international version

Neither. Something better will be out before the end of the year. Picking up the Nexus 5 and holding onto my upgrade.

HTC One all the way , I know they sometimes disappointing but im inlove their phone LOL

If I had to choose between the two phones, I would choose the S4. The HTC One's issues with battery life is my biggest concern. I am probably not going to get either phone as my contract doesn't end till June 2014. If I was going to upgrade I was thinking about getting the Blu Life One, it is half the price, comes unlocked and there is no overlaying OS on top of Android.

(please press Thanks if I've helped you!)

While the one looks impressive, after having 3 HTC phones and **** support for all 3 including the major issues devs have had with the devices I'm def going Samsung next. All HTC care about is selling devices then abandoning them, and while I still love the look and feel of HTC they have dug their own grave.
Sent from my BoRKeD HTC Velocity

ill be upgrading to the S4 as soon as it comes out

Should i sell my AT&T Galaxy S4 for a HTC ONE?

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 pretty much goes against other rumours where they were going to merge the Butterfly and One into
Be happy you're owning perhaps the last HTC phone with 3 buttons and Beats Audio. Unless this successor has 3 buttons but I don't think it will, most of HTC's phones this year are only 2 buttons except HTC First, Desire L, Desire 200 and Butterfly s.

same, I think 1080p screen and stereo speakers, for me it doesn't need to get any better than that

The MicroSD slot is good for the 1080p screen too. Can store HD videos comfortably. The phone would have been even better if it retained the waterproof capabilities of it's predecessor and if it sported a SOC 800 but it's good nonetheless.

no, what i meant is there wer rumours that the two lines will be merged as one next year. No more Butterfly probably and instead just one distinctive flagship.
The other thing that makes no sense is Snapdragon 800. Current rumours are that One Max won't get 800 for many reasons (such as HTC struggling and being unable to afford it, or Qualcomm themselves not letting HTC have it because it is to much a financial risk)

That's just rumors. I don't think that such phone will be released at least within half a year. HTC has problems with ordering Snap 800 for the current devices and most of vendors have already got their prerogative in using these chips.

well, i would not mind a 5.2" screen and snapdragon 800, i understand this Butterfly II will arrive early next year
http://www.talkandroid.com/177162-htc-butterfly-2-front-panels-leak/
http://www.androidauthority.com/rum...terproof-capabilities-multiple-colors-278346/
hope it also has a 3000mah battery tho

i think we should just be contented with our butterfly s, the new models are gonna be pretty much flowing out all the time..
my only gripe with butterfly s is the snapdragon 600 =S

oh i'm very happy with my Butterfly S, not looking to replace it very soon
my previous phone was a Razr Maxx HD, so this is quite a beast in comparison
i'm gonna (try to) wait till after summer next year for a next phone
by that time we'll know everything thats to know about KitKat and there probably will be plenty phones released with 4.4 pre-installed
