i second this. Still love my sensation but has worse reception on any phone ive had.
hope the aluminium body doesn't affect reception/wi-fi on the htc one.
We wont know untill test units get out to users, rather than in phone shops or city centre hq's of tech companies.
i just hope its not like sensation
any comments
It's strong, on par with the Z. I have both. Much better than the X. This is s lovely phone, no complaints so far.

Reception is better then S3, iPhone 5, note 2 lte really impressed.
so thats great than. cos i had my doubts regarding full metal body
I'm basically a phone addict. I've had the PPC-6700, Mogul, Vogue, TP, TP2, EVO, and now EVO LTE. The EVO was the only phone that I've kept for the life of my two year contract. I'm one year into my EVO LTE and there's nothing really wrong with it other than the fact that I'm bored.
Was the upgrade worth it to you guys or now that the novelty has worn off? Let me know!
Worth it, totally. The qualcomm s600 has some balls and sense 5 is the fastest version ever

Honesty, if I didn't have an upgrade, I could have waited. I was on the evo 4g lte as well. I have 4 phone lines on my plan, so I get to upgrade every year. I was running meanbean from the start then went to sense 5. I'm sure it's even better now.
I think the biggest difference is the sound from the front facing speakers.
It is much faster, but I'm not a gamer, do that's pretty much a wash.
It is beautiful and build quality is awesome. I use cases on my phones, so that's a wash as well.
The camera is way better on the ONE as well.
If you're really deadset on upgrading, I'm sure the evo is still worth something. I got $100 for the old og evo.
Just my $.02 of course.

completely worth it for me, i got so sick of the lte reception issues with the lte. battery life is amazing and the speakers are great for watching movies or streaming music at work.
Well, I had the Evo LTe and my wife still has it.
Honestly, I don't see the rush to update. I called Sprint they gave me a deal buy back my contract on the EVolte and cost me $380.00 for the early upgrade. Trust me... The EVo Lte is up too par with the Htc One. Except the live feeds, some camera features and display. But overall camera, performance and speed the EvoLte is equally matched.

I have to disagree. With 2 gb of ram, multitasking finally works right. Also, when sending mms, its far faster on the One to attach pics to the mms, including more than one pic. If its an AOSP rom on the LTE, then yeah its kinda close.
I have had the HTC Touch Pro, The HTC Touch Pro 2, EVO, Evo3D, EVO LTE, HTC One. The evo was ahead of it's time, but the 3D was actually one of my favorite upgrades. It was fast, going to the evoLTE from the 3D wasn't that impressive in my opinion. I always had issues with wi-fi on the evoLTE. It was a good phone but not something I was blown away on. The HTC ONE is amazing. The speakers alone are worth the upgrade. The way it's built is HTC's best built phone ever. It's super fast, battery rocks, wi-fi actually works correctly (at least for me). It's a very worthy upgrade, I couldn't wait to get rid of my evo LTE again mainly cause I had wi-fi issues. Could have been just my hardware. The one had worked perfect for me so far except my simulated battery pull doesn't seem to work correctly. Other than that, it's the most impressive upgrade I have had since I have been using smart phones. All the evo devices I have had on release day so I have had plenty of time using each one.
Paid for my one outright. Bit my wallet pretty bad, but it's worth every cent. The screen, the speakers, the cpu, the build, everything kicks the crap out of the lte. The ONLY thing that bothers me is...no miss my kickstand. I go to put my phone down and ..I...I don't know what to do with myself. Although the thing that has kept me the most happy so far is working radios. Consistent 3g, and I can actually hold an lte signal now!

Thanks everyone. I have 5 lines on my account so I have an upgrade to use. I was worried about the One being able to hold an LTE connection because of some of the threads I've read. This is the only thing that bothers me about the ELTE.

Yeah the signal problem on my E lte was really pissing me off. The one is much better at holding it I have no idea what these guys are talking about

I don't regret upgrading in the slightest. My evo battery life was so god aweful and random freezes, I had so many problems with it. The HTC One is like a godsend to me. I love being able to listen to pandora at work and at the end of the day still have 30 percent battery life left.

Im an ex evo user. I got1and a half times the battery life with it. No comparison whatsoever. If course I used custom kernel but I am with this phone also. But with the evo I could have5 hours screen on and still get a total of 20 hours use. Just my 2 cents. My son had the evo as I gave it to him and he laughs when I have to charge this phone. We don't have lte where we live so thats not an issue. And for this camera being better I'm not sure that's the case either. We have done comparison shots and in my opinion the right megapixel it's definitely better in certain situations by far. Just my input. Thanks.

I don't regret this phone even for one second, much more solid and better connections, speakers are also great!! I do miss the kickstand however and regarding photos I've taken some very nice outdoor pictures and the low light aka indoor photos blow the evo lte away for sure, I took pics side by side in a dimly lit room evo u could barely see a chair of sorts the one u could see the chair the detail on the cushin and the dresser on the other side and also the wall 5 ft behind it instead of just darkness..I'll try to grab some side by sides and show u what I mean

I went through all the same phones you listed plus a couple more I've had the Evo 3d and this is the nicest HTC phone I've had yet

I was just a original Evo user - now I have the One - what a great phone. HTC understands what were about.
Get the One. I still have my Evo LTE and I do comparison and the One just outshines it. Better display. True multitasking, doesn't reload every app after leaving it. Better sound quality with and without headphones, you definitely can tell a difference. No lag issues at all. For instance. Download a torrent file on your Evo LTE, that phone will lag like hell. Do the same with the One, it will perform with no lag. If you're a gamer go with the One. Just get it. Best phone I've had.
My phone history is Motorola Q, HTC Mogul, Sidekick LX, IPhone, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 4G, Evo LTE, now the One.

Have had each "EVO" (4G, 3D, 4g-LTE) since I came back to Sprint a while ago...
In Chicago, we've had LTE since last Fall. I do notice a difference in Speed (3-5Mbps faster in some areas) vs. my "4gLT-EVO." That alone was worth it to me!
:good:

Forgot that. 4G fights to light up on your phone. The LTE would stay on 3g until I cut my mobile network off and back on.

Yep, Got rid of my LTE for the One, the only thing that's taking me a while to get used to are my capacitive buttons. I just found out that double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps lol. I miss the camera buttons as well.
But once you get used to that, everything else is great. I love it, love Zoe, love the sound, screen size, and the hassle-free 4G. I've had it for almost 2 weeks now and I'm yet to root it, longest I've gone, so, no complaints here.
While I was driving to the sprint store to get my One I kept saying why am I getting this new phone? After I got it there's no question that it was the right decision lol both moms have evo ltes now and I could never go back
Like the title says I'm thinking of switching my the galaxy s4. My main concern is for the battery. I know this is extremely different for each person, but more than not I see people complaint about the battery life.
I average 4.5 hours of screen time and just wondering what most people are getting. I browse the web, do some email and texting and may use Pandora for a few minutes. Not a heavy user, but I do get on it at times.
If anyone else has made the switch what re ur likes/dislikes so far??

I usually get about a day or so,,,, I'm always texting,making phone calls,on xda,playing games, talking pics
I love how it not plastic and it feels so solid in my hands,,, it's build is so much better then the s4
I say go for it, you'll be happy
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I have come from the s4 and have never looked back. The Samsung was not a bad phone by any means, but IMO this phone by far outshines it. Battery gets me through the day and than some with moderate to heavy screen time, two push email accounts, tune in radio, etc. I noticed that the Samsung lagged and stuttered at times, not the case with the HTC. Dual speaker beats audio, can't beat them. Only plus for Samsung is remove able battery and micro SD. But HTC comes with 32 gig which is plenty, if not store it in the clouds. I can go on and on, I have spent a fortune switching phones, I have owned just about all top tier phones in the US, and the HTC far exceeds any other that i have used. Hope that helps you out with your decision.
I have thought of coming over from S4 as well but heard there was problems connecting to lte is thus true
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I think the people saying it has trouble connecting to lte must be in cities where it was recently deployed because I haven't had any lte issues. Wherever my S3 gets lte so does the HTC One. I'm in Atlanta which was one of the first four cities to get lte so we have it everywhere.

I agree, I have the s4, icrap5, and the HTC. If I get lte on one of the 3 the HTC picks it up as well. I believe it just depends on how complete the towers are in areas of use.
I live the design of the one but will prolly out a case on it. With specs being pretty close I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I think the screen on the one looks better.

For those of you that have come from the original One, are you happy with the M8? Is it a worthy upgrade? I know that there are no roms out yet but I'm wondering to use my upgrade yet or wait?

Had the OG One, switched to the Nexus 5 and now have the M8. I am extremely happy with the M8 and will probably end up keeping this longer than either of those.
This phone is beautiful, smoking fast, the screen is large and vivid; it's the best I've seen. I say go for it. [emoji106]

I agree with you 100 %. If your area is blessed with spark, even more so.

This is exactly the quandary I find myself in. Saw the m8 at Verizon and messed with it. Must say i was underwhelmed. Trying to decide now between N5 and M7, mostly.
Spark is wicked fast, but I don't know if my market will get it (just north of Seattle).

Keeping my SIM unlocked M7 on T-Mobile because I get great LTE everywhere around Brea, Yorba Linda, Anaheim at $70 unlimited everything.
Using an upgrade for the M8 (Best Buy has Gold and Gunmetal Black for Sprint at $199) in about a week. The same area has great Spark coverage. My M7 is customized exactly how I want it with all of the possible extras but the M7 feels like an American muscle car (powerful sturdy with straight lines) and the M8 is like a Ferrari with blazing speed and great curves. I was using the store salesman model and I got a pop up to swipe up with 5 fingers I believe and I was instantly connected with 7 TV's across the store. I just hope Spark is somewhere near these pics I have seen ...the map says I am in the center of a big area of coverage

Sprint will be deploying B41 (2500Mhz) LTE all throughout West Washington. It isn't widespread yet, but count on it being fast
I have Spark at work in Tukwila on my Nexus 5 and it hovers between 40 and 50 Mb/s

If it only cost you around an "upgrade cost" it's worth upgrading. If you had to pay no contract price no it's not worth it.
My HTC One M7 has the original wide dynamic range dual mics. It's a very overlooked feature that just rocks.
Could care less about camera gimmicks.
Camera seems about the same. And it's fine.
I do like the SD card.
I still prefer the size of the M7, it was perfect. And it's weight.
Sound wise it sounds the same. And that's with beats off on the HTC One M7. With beats on I suspect M7 sounds better.
I prefer headphone jack on top.
Sense 6 is no biggy, but it is a tad nicer.
My wife has the HTC One M7 now. The clarity on phone calls between them is extremely good.
M8 does seem to pull LTE better and maybe transition better between 3G and LTE better (maybe). Does some funky things (Spark things I guess).
It's not a huge upgrade for sure.
Sprint coverage in my area is pretty bad but I get a great deal (employee hook up) so I am keeping it. S5 and M8 are both great phones but I was wondering if anyone knows how their radios compare? With poor coverage even alittle bit better would probably make a difference (drop call).

Samsung radios are always better than HTC in my experience. That said, the M8 has one of the best radios HTC has come up with - way better than the M7. I would imagine the S5 still has better reception due to it not being a metal phone.

Thanks for all your help. This was for my sister and I ended up getting her the M8. Its just to awesome to pass up and was $50 cheaper. She loves the speakers and panorama. Ill just keep using my M7 like a peasant lol
