I am extremely confused in selecting over HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4. My previous two phones were Samsung Galaxy S3 and after that I took Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I am not at all a samsung fan I loved the HTC One X as well as X+ but just because of bad reviews of the battery life I did not go for it. This time round I am clear with my mind of taking the HTC One but it is not yet available in KSA ( Middle East ) whereas the S4 is out from last two weeks. This is what I hate about HTC they keep their customers waiting for long time. The HTC stores are saying next week when ever I ask them and this is going from May 1. So should I wit for the phone or shall I go and buy the S4. I am without a phone from 2 months just because I am waiting for the HTC One. Please help me HTC One users is it that good phone that I shall give it more time ?? I also want to know how much free space is availabe in the 32gb model after deducting the space taken by phone itself. Good & polite replies will be appreciated.
Maybe S4 have the removible battery and sd card...
But depends from your preferences.
I advice htc One, is very aswesome like smartphone, it have all.
However, you have 26gb of 32
26GB of 32 gb it means even HTC eats around 6gb but I guess better than having 8gb built in memory like that of S4. Internal memory is very important as all applications, games and saved files of games takes huge amount of space and 8gb is not sufficient for that.
Yes, but S4 have slot for the SD card.
So you can move your photos, movies, songs and other here and use 8 GB for the apps.
However, both are very good!
You have to choose!
Me personally I would wait for the one but I know that is easier said than done, as I was without a phone for about a week when my one was delayed.
It felt more like a month, but I am glad I waited. I nearly settled for an Xperia Bathtoy instead.

It's a matter of personal preference and patience. I waited for the HTC one for almost two months, and the wait was worth it. Just love my one

My bf had the s4 for about a week (actually had one then swapped for another) the first one was very laggy, non responsive, and kept disconnecting him from Bluetooth. He switched to another s4 but the second one was still slow and had something wrong with the ear piece call quality was like crap.
I got the ONE the same time he got the S4 and he was pro Samsung the whole time but needless to say now we both have ONEs

I'd definitely wait for the One. Also, in the future hold onto your old phones, my GS3 comes in handy sometimes, and I wasn't without a phone at all whilst waiting for my HTC One to arrive. Just my 2¢

Hopefully development for the Vivid won't be hurt too much by the release of the One X. Kind of sucks it's released only 6 months after we got our phone, but considering it won't come with a removable battery or a micro sd card slot and only 16GB of onboard memory, I think sticking with the Vivid isn't such a bad idea as long as development continues for the Holiday family.
Still hoping CM9 and Sense4.0 RILs get completed before the One X is released, sucks it's such a pain to get working, but much appreciation for those working on it.
Another point to be noted is similarly to what happened to the Vivid, the One X may have its bootloader locked for some time too and maybe be S-On. I'm only speculating unless there's news out there already.

I thought the one x was supposed to have 32 gigs of memory? Either way I chose my vivid knowing this was right around the corner, no regret really. I'm sure the one x is nicer but no user replaceable battery was the deal breaker for me.

I think the international version has 32 GB of memory. Why they reduced it is strange. Also, the AT&T has a different processor so it can work with LTE, so I've read.
Yeah because nvidia screwed up (again) with tegra 3 and didn't optimize it for lte. But the new snapdragon supposedly blows it away anyway. No doubt the 16 gigs only would be a deal breaker for me. I mean the way Samsung partitioned my captivate, I could make do with that, they gave you 12 gigs! But both my flyer and vivid give you 8 gigs which isn't enough though I did notice that 4 gigs is partitioned for internal storage so I just never move apps anymore.
Of course my understanding is ics is supposed to do away with internal storage and just have one partition for everything... Doesn't apply to our phones because they were upgraded of course but maybe on the one x it will be that way and just give the user 14 gigs for apps and storage.

I'm thinking about just getting the international version just so I can have the quad core and bragging rights. There's no LTE here in Delaware so I could live without that.

The international One X already has official bootloader unlock. So I doubt the AT&T version will not be unlockable.

Samsung is cool. They ship with unlocked bootloaders. They hire Cyanogen guys. They work hand in hand with devs.
HTC on the other hand, has gone the opposite direction.
Never thought it'd happen but Samsung > HTC in terms of dev friendliness.
Yeah and i think it was may last year where htc said no more locked bootloaders yet out phones and the one series are still locked. Motorola pretty much did about the same thing. But man Samsungs are so friggen cheap feeling in comparison to htcs

Whatever the case may be, the only thing I like on the OneX is the camera and Sense 4.0. If they can be ported to the Vivid, I'm sticking with it. Even when the OneX hits, I'm still probably going to push the Vivid to my customers. LoL. But I'll get to play with the OneX at least a week before it's officially released to the public.
I think the one series might be a big fail for HTC. The general buzz is people are irritated about no removable battery and no expandable storage and review sites are ripping sense 4.0 a new one. Honestly I don't get the trend of android phones leaning towards built in batteries myself. I can kind of understand the lack of expandable storage as ics is capable of having one master partition that can be used for app data and user storage, and obviously we're heading towards a cloud based future anyway. But the built in battery just sucks. It's why I bought a vivid and didn't wait for a one x.

When they announced this phone I was excited and said that was going to be my next phone, but after buying an HTC flyer that was noticeably faster than my captivate, I just wanted a phone that could keep up and decided on a galaxy s2. Well my friend who has a Droid bionic convinced me that lte was worth it so I looked at the skyrocket. But the skyrocket was $200 and they had this lte HTC phone that had the exact same specs as the skyrocket but was only $99. So I got myself 2 of those one for me and my wife. And as the one x date came closer I had often wondered if I screwed up not waiting for it. Thank you HTC for making me realize I made the right choice!
The more I read about it the less appealing it is. First I didn't care about having an SD slot because with 32 gig your set anyway but now its confirmed, 16 gigs only 9 available to the user. They claimed better battery life but the euro model without lte is getting 10 hours on standby...can't imagine what lte would do to it. My vivid is pretty good when its not on lte, a battery sucker on lte but I have a solution: spare battery and external charger. My battery warning hits and a couple minutes later I'm at 100%. But not an option on the one x because the damn thing is built in? Did HTC miss the original Motorola Droid commercial? A user replaceable battery is supposed to be an advantage over the iPhone, no one wants a built in they deal with it because they have to.
Last gripe is sense 4.0 vs 3.6. Its not dramatically different its the same sense with a skin. Sense has actually grown on me quite a bit so its not necessarily a drawback but its not an advantage either. I've watched YouTube videos and most of the changes are skin deep. And the failed horribly too opting to use capacitive buttons instead of the ics action bar thats supposed to show as needed because since there is no menu button, a gigantic one pops up and takes away screen real estate as needed.
So I conclude the one x is just another phone and not a god send like everyone wants you to think it is. And I'm happy I chose the vivid instead.

Lol. I havent played with it - so I have no idea what the features are on that phone.... I'll have a look this weekend.
Before buying the S4, I gave heavy consideration to the HTC One. I watched videos and reviews from multiple sources.
Overall, these are the reasons why I chose and will continue to stick with the S4:
- Battery Life - Our battery is much better than the HTC One. I compared it to a friend who has the HTC One and he was averaging about 2hr 45 min on screen time on a typical day where I've been getting close to 5hrs screen on time.
- Latest Android Software - I know it probably doesn't make a huge difference, but I really like 4.2. The lock screen widgets come in handy. Being able to check my Falcon Twitter and Gmail without even unlocking the phone is a huge plus.
- It's Samsung - What this means is that our phone will still be receiving firmware upgrades all the way into mid 2015. Not saying that the HTC One won't, but HTC is in real trouble, and if they go out of business, that my make things very complicated for current HTC users. Plus, even afloat, I've heard awful things about timeliness of firmware updates from HTC.
So yeah, I bought the S4 and I'm not looking back.
Came from the HTC One. I liked it a lot but the S4 works a lot better for me.

Yep. One of my buddies asked me to root his Evo about 6 months ago and I was shocked to have to settle for a Gingerbread ROM. I had thought for sure there would be some stable ICS roms available but every ICS or JB rom had at least one major flaw that my friend wouldn't have been able to live with.
Hell, even my my old LG Optimus V has a stable JB rom.

I love the 90s. Good times.
I had a One for about a week. It's a great phone and a really good attempt by HTC. I still miss a couple things from it but everything already described here outweighs everything it has to offer. I always end up back with Samsung.

Also had the One for a week. It was a seriously great phone. The design of the phone is just gorgeous. Also the weight of it was really nice.
Sense looked and worked great but is not nearly as customizable as tw. And as good as the design and materials seemed, it was not durable or built well in the least. A 2" drop caused some severe corner rash and even a dent. Battery life was excellent but during my first full day with this device, im on track to destroying the htc as far as battery life.
Was def a great attempt and design, but the overall quality of construction and materials is severely lacking. Ill take my new slippery plastic cheap looking s4 over the one all day every day.

^^^ This. Until such time that every manufacturer switches to this unreasonable design thereby forcing me to accept it, I will never purchase a phone (especially at full contract price as I buy most of my devices) that doesn't offer removable battery and expandable memory. I very much dislike having to rely on cloud storage to house the things I want access to at all times.
Having said that, I admit I considered it, because I loved my OG EVO so much (which of course offered both removable batter and expandable storage), until I read a multitude of reviews (mostly positive) but there are some build defects that would absolutely drive my OCD tendencies through the roof, so I opted to stay with the brand I know. Now if they'd just move the power button to the top of the phone I'd be thrilled. lol
I gave this a lot of thought and spent quite a bit of hands on time with both devices before settling with the S4. Every time I think of the HTC One I quickly remind myself of the poor software, camera, ergonomics, and lack of support that HTC provides for their phones. I simply don't trust HTC as a company and the Google S4 helped keep me with Samsung that much more. The minor issues with the S4 will be fixed soon enough and then it won't really be a competition as far as I'm concerned. I'm really curious to how many Ones have been sold compared to the almost 10 million S4s, which came out what, a month after the One. And I actually use the "gimmicky" features of the S4. The other day I was working on my car, hands filthy black, covered in grease and dirt. My dad called instead of missing the call waved my hand over my phone and spoke to him. I don't use these features always but if I'm at work or doing something were I will get dirty I turn them on. I couldn't do that type of stuff on the One. There is also things like the One not supporting quick charge even though it has the same Qualcomm chip? Maybe the metal was getting to hot on charge so they disabled it? Anyway I'm totally content with my S4 and I feel time will just keep reassuring my decision to stick with Samsung. :thumbup:

Nice big screen, lightweight and slim, plus what Shady said, not a chance!
I, like many above, looked very hard at both before pulling the trigger on the S4. I'm coming off a long line of HTC phones, but my wife has had the S3 for about 6 months. I do all the tweaking of the S3, so I use it a fair amount, and had grown to like TW more than Sense. Plus, the S3 always stomped my HTC Evo 4G LTE whenever we'd be looking something up on the internet, downloading something, etc. We'd be doing it side-by-side, and the S3 was better EVERY time, and usually by a large margain. That really planted the bug to move to Samsung for me.
I've never looked back One-wise. I might have a few minutes of doubt early on while learning the phone, but I'd have just returned it and gone back to my Evo, or bought an S3. But I'm just thrilled with the phone at this point. It really works well. I'm out on the lake fishing and pull up a radar map, boom, it's there, every time. On my HTC, very hit or miss on the same lakes. And the daylight pictures are stunning, something I could never say for my HTC's.
Bottom line, the S4 works like I've always wanted a smartphone to work.
Never. Not even a little bit.
Sent from the rabbit hole.
After the review on the HTC One spoke about how awful repairing it would be and how opening the device pretty much destroys the phone I decided to pass. The S4s "lack of build quality" makes me laugh as the the HTC One's guts are awful whereas the S4 is well put together and its plastic outer materials are more reliable than the aluminum of the HTC One (denting and scratching). Also, as the others before me the unibody design of the One against the removable storage and battery of the S4...NO BRAINER! The Sprint variant also shipped with SIM card so that was a huge bonus for me (in the military so being out of country won't force me to buy a new cheapo phone). Samsung is also more likely to get updates and those updates last longer than HTCs. With a Google version on the way I am stoked as it could very well mean we will get some devs to port some of that amazingness over to the branded variants. Also, I did come from HTC Evo 3D in case you think I'm just another Samsung fan-boy.

I love my curve (Flex) and I know it's way to early to even think about another phone but being the phone junkie I am it's hard not to. Just wondering if any Flex users thought about trying a S5 or M8 when they come out? I doubt I would get another phone but I did get a good deal on my Flex and or have a jump to use so I wouldn't be spending more money. I used a S4 for about a year which is long for me. I'm just not feeling the rehashed design. I liked the HTC One, so I would probably like the M8.
So way hose, I'm coming from the s4,s5 only point 1 inch bigger. Can't go down regardless of the better resolution
curious as to what the new HTC phone actually looks like and does, but, as far as any Samsung stuff, no thanks, until they actually come up with something "new", not just continued rehashing of the tired, old Galaxy/note stuff
As far as the screen size I don't think I care that much between 5in or 6in. I kind of like having a smaller phone in the Spring/Summer time.
I guess one good thing with the Sammy phones and maybe even HTC is development should be good. As of now I'm fine with stock on my Flex but down the road I might want change things up.
I know the #1 thing I would miss with the Flex is the great battery life. As of now LG is top dog with that.
There are 2 phones I am waiting on, the LG G Pro 2 and the Note 4. Other than that I don't see anything worth getting that excited about. After saying that if I had the opportunity to get an S5 or M8 I wouldn't say no.
Note 4?how soon is that? Specs?
I'll probably get an s5 and m8 but I'll keep the flex as my main phone. Sucks I'll have to now use a nano adapter for the s5.

Past year I had: droid dna, one M7, s4, nexus 4, s4 active, note3, gzone commando 4g, anyone of those is not as good as flex, not even closer; M7 battery is crap and screen is dark, nexus 4 looks cheap, note 3 I'll tell you one word: Knox, s4 or s3 who cares. Only two phones I really liked casio one because is tough and flex because is cute, fast, battery last forever, UI is fantastic and everybody ask about it.

No, the Flex is a good phone, possibly the Lg G Pro 2
I've been a phone junkie and I can't remember my last bad phone. The HTC Evo 3D was big mistake. lol At times I do miss the compact size of my G2. I like the curved screen but not sure if I will get the Flex 2. I like switching manufactures or at least something different. Maybe even try the iPhone 6 if they ever make the screen bigger.
imo..the only postive the s5 or m8 have over the flex is ext sd card support..the screen is a subjective matter.
If the flex had sd card id have one the day it was released here in canada...as it is it will be hard not to buy one...it has has a totally unique appeal to it.

I am still running my S1 as my backup phone. It is 4 years old. I am using it now, as my main phone is broken. I have installed CyanogenMod 11.2 M9. It is a little slow, but still works fine.
im using a galaxy s i9000 too. its internal memory is dead, but i installed the ROM using a external memory card. everything works fine. running kitkat 4.4.2 . i love the i9000 display. :laugh:
Use it as my wife's main phone. Running MIUI. Still works very well.
Started to use GS again. Bought Huawei Ascend p6 and its gps is worse . Dont know how they managed to do that. Huaweis kitkat roms are horribly buggy too, and thats why I switched back to the good old GS1. Might go back to p6 if they release a real update to kitkat. Got bored of the upgrade downgrade cycle.
GS1 CM nightlies work much better, no crippling bugs so far. And ive been using it for years.
I've started using my SGS phone again.. After installing Mackay ROM, everything feels much smoother.
About to update to KitKat now
I still use it as my main phone. I want to add the galaxy s2 or s3 depending on how one can run android L on them.
Honestly I stopped using it in April because I bought myself one SGS3 (rocking!!!) and gave it to my son. But it is running 4.3 and the kid is happy as ever with it. I had it since it was released and love it since then!
It is still my only phone, but the only reason I still do so is because I transitioned to small tablets (both Nexus 7 and now the Galaxy Tab S 8.4) as my main mobile computing devices. The only thing I do on my phone is calling as well as occasionally chatting (even though I do that mainly on my tablet too) and it provides data for the wifi only tablet.
Even with that limited use I gonna buy a used Galaxy S3 LTE (or better) before this year ends. The S1 is just to damn slow for me and a little more screensize will probably make me chat a bit more on the phone instead of taking the tablet with me all the time (even though the later will remain my main device).

Maybe without realizing it.. There is something about the M8 that you do not like.. you are certainly not 100% satisfied with it..
Or you would not even be considering another device.
It's certainly fast enough.. IMO.. Still has the smoothest, lag-free interface going.. beautiful screen, 32 GB's of storage.. etc.
It's a Flagship Phone..
But it's not a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
This is the Biggest Baddest most Feature-Rich Phone on the Planet..and it has the Fastest Hardware on the Planet..( Try the CM 12 Alpha ROM to see the Note 4's 2,700 MHz perform without the burden of Touchwiz ) So "Yes" it's definitely worth the switch.. it does it all.. from Productivity to Gaming.. Drawing or simply reading on what's been described as the "Best Screen Ever Put On A Smartphone"

No I'm actually quite happy with the m8 and how it functions. If htc made a phone that size (not the one max) but one with features like the note then I would get it.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I switched from the m8 to the note 4.
The M8 was a solid phone and i absolutely enjoyed it. But when i saw that note 4 screen and camera in action.
I had to get it.
