Hi guys. Have gone back quite a few threads in here so apologies if this has already been asked.
I am coming up to the magic upgrade date and am very keen on the One. I have been on xda for nearly 2 years now and know that this community is the dog's and you guys can help me out. I know it all comes down to personal preference, but seeing as you have had the phone for a few months now can anyone give me any comments, likes or dislikes or reviews on the phone? I am asking the same question on the xperia z page as torn between the two. As you can see from my sig I'm using an ICS right now. I don't really play games, look and build quality is important as is the camera and battery life. How does the camera live up to other phones out there right now?
Peace out.

Wow. Amazing review man, really detailed. I've had virtually no complaints with my ICS. It may just come down to price when I eventually upgrade, and I kinda fancy something different to HTC, but this review really confuses me even more, so thanks man!

Just got the LG Thrill but forums seem dead, and not a lot being developed for this phone should I go ahead and return it and get something else?
Feedback would be greatly appreciated..

Haha, thank you for the input. I kinda wanna get the galaxy s II but don't wanna cough up the extra $100 right now : / I'm so torn....

Do you like the phone? That should answer your question on whether to return it or not.
First off, this question should be in the general section as there is no "Development" going on in it.
Second, Overall, the Thrill is a great phone with Amazing potential when Gingerbread is finally released. When ICS is released, even better. I still feel that when Gingerbread hits, there will be a lot more development going on as no one wants to develop for Eclair since it will be updated in less than a month (hopefully).
With the tri-dual technology, this thing could demolish the SGS2 if given the correct software.
Yes, more development is going on over in the SGS2 forums, so you have a tough decision to make my friend.
Ya I'm a flashaholic, so seeing this forum without very much development on roms is the only thing making me second guess my purchase, the phone itself on the other hand is a very nice piece of machinery...i mean i love the phone even in its stock form...but like i said im a flashaholic and love just tinkering with my phone...not a developer at all : / though I wish i were. I'm coming from a Mytouch 4G which I had sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5...so its just a whole new world to me I guess..

Please follow the forum rules and post in the right section. Thanks.
Arrived today from Amazon (penny phone!). Called my brother, he reported good volume and very clear quality. Seemed the same on my end, so my call volume and quality is not a problem.
Activation was easy, and set-up included a question about HTC-something or other that would check on my phone use. I was able to decline that, but I intend to get rid of all the CIQ stuff.
Right now it is upgrading to ICS, I am looking forward to it.
Wheee!
Welcome!

Welcome to the club, if your interested in new roms, this might not be the forum to be following but enjoy your stay none the less.
Just got mine today haven't flashed anything yet but I plan to later tonight as slide it is nowhere near swype

It's a good phone. It's not a crack flashers phone but it's a good solid phone but I will warn you the ics rom brings some new bugs with it. I might reccomend the one x over it at this point because it's newer and has less risk of eol status but if you need a removable battery and expandable storage than this is the phone for you and if your coming from an old single core 512mb of ram setup android phone than this phone will feel like a rocket

Welcome! I'm new to the dev scene here myself too but it's not hard to get started, especially with the Vivid. I did the S-off trick with a coated paper clip in one try, you just need to be careful and get the right contacts. Just be sure to read the SuperGuide, the Guide, and the Tutorials before actually downloading any zips and trying to flash them. It's very very important to thoroughly read all directions, as the people around here know exactly what works and what will brick your phone... I know from experience as I'm on my second Vivid.
Once you're Boot Unlocked, Rooted, and S-off, the Vivid is your oyster and you'll have a ton of fun flashing it with new ROMs, Kernals, and MODs.

I have yet to see miui for the vivid. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong place. I am used to all of the phones I have had with tons and tons of roms but I guess some phones get better marketing than others and are a lot more popular.
I think there is one, but it's basically sense stripped stock rom with the miui features added

Thanks to all, seems like a great group. My last phone was an LG Optimus V, and compared to that the Vivid is a rocket!. Very snappy. I rooted it, took the sd-card from the Optimus and put it in the Vivid. DL'd TiBu and restored all my apps and their data. All working the way I like it.
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks, got lots of good tips already. I'll post some screen shots one of these days. I am not much of a Sense fan, prefer my old favorite launcher. Slowly de-bloating the thing, ATT puts way too much junk on the phones, but they all do.
Thanks again.

Screen Shots
As promised, a couple of screen shots. Notice the app drawer, I have 50% transparency on that. Also notice the icons at the bottom. The first is All apps, second is Apps I installed, third is called Tools and I can put anything I want in there, same for the fourth one called Fun.
My widget is BeWeather Pro. The only app I put on my home screen is ICE: Emergency. I recommend it.
Welcome! I have to say that you picked one of the harder devices to develop for, but there's a strong community here and elsewhere. There are many things in motion for this device, although you may have to look elsewhere for them.

I know many are just excited as I am about the N4 so I want to talk about all the good things about it. Is anyone else more anxious about the phone because of the lack of the press event? I find myself checking every couple hours for a good hands on video to admire. Ahhh, the nexus butterflies all over again

The only hands on videos are from reviewers at a Google demo. Actual review units have been sent out already apparently. We will have to wait until the NDA lifts to see the results though and I imagine it will not be until the week of release.

This is one I've seen that shows off the hardware pretty well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5OOKh6CGzc&feature=youtube_gdata_player. I have to say the phone looks stunning. Seeing the phone at mostly odd angles and short clips makes me more curious about it. I'm super excited

I was a fan but not so much after owning three phones that had it. I want more accuracy now and brighter screens. The only things that made my galaxy nexus' screen usable was the color/gamma mod and supercurio's app. I look forward to the change

I think separately looking on what you get in the box on the play store page. When the verge did their video it was still in prototype.

Hi, I'm thinking of changing my SGS3 LTE for the HTC One. What's the dev support like? It seems a little slow? The main reason I want to move from SGS3 LTE is due to slow support from dev community and Samsung not playing nicely with the XDA dev community. Are things better with the HTC One? Also, how is the phone's performance and what is stock like (also, rooted stock variants)? Is CM10.1 stable? And battery life? I'm keen for some feedback from you guys, the user base! I'm choosing between the HTC One and The Xperia Z.. just gotta change this SGS3 LTE asap!
You are in the right forum..... Do some reading.... Decide it.... But imho... Htc one is the only one..

Ya exactly. There is a wealth of information out there, if one chooses to look for it.
Bottom line: the One is the best phone out at the moment. It is quite an upgrade over last year's flagship phones (save for the camera).

Hi, thanks. Yes there is a wealth of information. But that's not what I'm asking. I want to know what the XDA support is like? That is the most nb thing for me? My choice between the HTC One and Xperia Z is probably gonna come down to XDA dev support.. there's minimal/ok support on the SGS3 LTE and it taught me a valuable lesson.. check with the XDA community first! it's the only way to get the real story..

You asked a number of things. As far as dev support goes, it looks pretty decent so far. I hear that Sony supports devs better than most companies, so it may be better there.
The best thing you can do is look in the associated forums here on xda and decide for yourself which dev-community you believe will be the best for you.
Would help if someone here also has experience with the Xperia.
*edit* trump card might be that there is a GE One. That could bring even more devs onto the One side. :thumbup:

Yeah thanks guys. I think it's pretty clear to me that the HTC One is a superior phone and has excellent support from XDA dev community
