My Note 2 is awesome. But so is my HTC One. The LTE is definitely better on my Note 2. You can't ask a question like that in this section though. Biased opinions round here. It all comes down to preference.

I don't care how good a Samsung phone is, touchwiz is pure crap.

If better LTE is something you're interested in.. Then trade.. I'd jump on it if a friend would offer me that trade. HTC One destroys it in almost all other categories though.

Rumor: HTC might sell out and stop making phones

If they do, which company would you go to?
Samsung? LG?

Agreed. But if they did....I would like to give LG a spin I think.
D

Never had much loyalty to any brand. Whatever is the best, or one of the best phones in two years will be my upgrade.
I know it won't be a Samsung though. Unless they do a 180 in regards to phone build quality.

not lg if i could id get a sony phone they have very good support for devs, but then again the note series is awesome...

I would probably go nexus and GSM carrier
I would also hold onto to my one until it stops working
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

I think I'll be going to nexus and gsm as well. I hope an android phone comes out with 41mp camera . I'd be all over that

Sony Xperia Ultra or LG G2 most likely. I''ll definitely be switching to T-Mobile in the near future.

I'd probably try out Sony or Lg

Tmo for me too

T-Mobile and Nexus probably, although I wouldn't mind holding onto my One to use it as a voice/text (+bad 3G) phone.

hmm, maybe Moto once Google does their thing....

Wouldn't matter, my purchase is not dictated by brand.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

How about making a ONE Max 10" tablet first

Lol cuz never going to happen.
But if they sold out, then my next phone will certainly be an HTC One Max

Nexus or moto or Oppo. Samsung's phones have gotten so flimsy looking and feeling.
Sony's phones are laggy as hell. I've never really trusted LG, but I have no reason for that, so that would be my fourth choice.

Nexus or Moto as well for me. Might go that way even if HTC doesn't sell out.

Nexus, moto, sony, oppo. LG seems like too much of an also-ran to me- maybe the G2 will change that, though . And Samsung is just... Just no.
No OEM loyalty, though.

Moving to moto x??

I know that on paper the moto x is just a "mid range" device and i love the htc one in every single way...but sprint and its crappy service is even worst with my one. Idk if is just because is metal but my wifes galaxy s3 get better sigan everywhere we go. I heard motorola is really good with radios and anthenas and to be honest is the only phone on sprint's line up thats not a crappy samsung or an icrap that i would like to get...anyone has any input on this?

Well allegedly there is a bug fix coming for how the one handles the 3g/4g switching. I would wait and see how 4.3 works.

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

I experience the same issues as you. Wife's s3 holds onto signals better just about everywhere we go, Wi-Fi included.
the customization options for the Moto x had me drooling...until I noticed that was for the AT&T variant only.
I would hold out until 4.3 drops for sure.

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

Flash a ROM and lock it in roaming, enjoy great service until you get that termination letter. Switch carriers...profit.

I dunno about moto being the one who makes good modems/attenas, but I know Samsung is known for having very good ones... I don't know why you wouldn't even consider a GS4 or a Note 3. Hell, if you're gonna switch carries why don't you just keep the ONE??

I don't know why people were calling this a software issue. I think the software issue they were talking about fixing was the blur.

Is the X unlockable? After the photon/atrix fiasco I vowed never to touch another Motorola device.

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.

Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

Considering trading my AT&T Galaxy Note 3 for the LG G Flex for

AT&T locked the bootloader in our 4.4.2 update. No root currently possible. I was considering the Flex to begin with. I want your honest opinion on if the two devices are on Parr

The note 3 has a higher density display and an external sdcard. The flex might be the sexiest looking phone on the market. It's fast. Really no downside to the flex. If some cool Roms start dropping soon we will be in business for sure.

How did you achieve that? What reasons did you use?

if you need an S-pen, the Flex is not for you..
Otherwise, you'll like it alot..

They got tired of me warranty exchanging the note 3 because of the gps bug. One day they offered me the flex.
Sent from my LG-D950 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Coming from note 3 to g flex and have no complaints. My biggest worries were lack of s pen, lower screen resolution, lack of removable memory and removable battery. I never used the s pen when I had the note and don't miss it at all. Screen resolution is no issue, if i didn't know the notes ppi was higher I would've never guessed it. 32 gigs of internal memory is plenty for me, if at some point I need more or there are files I'd rather not have taking up my internal storage there's always usb otg. And lastly I can make it through a full day with heavy usage and still have juice to spare so a swappable battery is irrelevant. I still have my note 3 but I wouldn't switch back if you paid me. It'll be on swappa in the near future.

The only thing I can see that you'll miss is the screen size.. and maybe the stylus.. otherwise everything else beats the note 3. I did notice that even with a gig of less ram, this phone still out performs the note 3. Oh and the sound is worth the switch alone.

Agreed 100% The stylus was great for a while but like all Samsung gimmicks, they just get in the way after a while.
And I know not everyone likes it, but BlinkFeed is a feature I use every day.

I made the transition from the Note 3 to this phone. The Note 3 ran pretty much flawlessly for me and I had no real complaints about it. It's just that I'm kind of phone obsessed and really wanted this phone.
This phone definitely has a way sexier build and feels like a quality device compared to the Note 3. I also feel that the camera is better on this phone than the Note 3. The difference in screen size is noticeable but this screen is not exactly small so you will get used to it after a little while.
Overall, if you are a phone fanatic who needs the latest and greatest I don't think you'll regret getting the M8. It's a sleek and sexy phone that takes better pics than the Note 3

One of the features I love on my Note is being able to assign a Notification Tone to a contact. Is this possible on the M8?

Anything is possible

Care to share some options?

You can apply a ringtone, but not a notification tone. U can use GoSMS, etc., to apply individual ringtones.

I currently own both (Note 3) and (M8 Harman Kardon Edition).
While the M8 has superior build quality and superior sound it does not beat the Note 3 imo...Especially if you use and love S-Pen functionality and care about camera quality.
