I admit, i'm an htc fanboy for many years. Heck, this website was born from an htc device. I am waiting on the note 3 as a secondary device (to mount in the car and use as a general tablet like device while keeping my one as my main handset due to size). If htc would make something like the note, 6- 6.5 inch screen etc., i'd be all over it. I'm starting this thread as sort of a petition for such a device. I'd also value any opinions but please keep it constructive. As soon as this becomes a "my samsung beats your htc beats your iphone beats your nexus" discussion, it will be closed by moderators and rightfully so. Try to keep it positive and see how many votes we can get FOR such a device. If you hate htc, buy a samsung and have a fabulous day!

I am a galaxy note user and thinking about my next device too. I would love to see a bigger HTC One, even though Note 3 will be overwhelming, I guess. The One is just amazing. And a newer HTC One multimedia giant with nice speakers 'sounds' even better ...
For me, it will depend mainly on design (hopefully no plastic-based Note 3) and if HTC can imitate nice features like multi window or air view (or/and build up other ones).

There are rumours all over the internet about a so-called "HTC One Max" - a 6" version of the One. I can't think of any better middle-ground between phone and tablet as I think the HTC One is a truly gorgeous device. Now if they make a tablet that is similar then I'll wee in my pants, change them and go to the shop to purchase it immediately.

I'm sure they are but if there are rumors, there's a possible market for it. It seems like a risk for them right now but if the one is bringing them back , and i hope it is, they may get back in the game. They're getting atention with the one. Pa 3+ is being officially released on it soon. Do you by chance remember the htc advantage?

I don't care what they call it, with snapdragon 800 and an sd slot i'm in. It does appear they've been working on a phablet regardless.

It needs to have:
- 32GB or above MicroSD!!! If not then never mind.
- Full HD (no more halfwitted 720/800 junk. Enough with the 2001 graphics.)
- Snapdragon 800
- Pen support. It's hard to beat the Wacom-supported Spen.
- 3GB or more RAM.
For me to consider it over the Note 3. The HTC One was never a serious contender for me, because 90% of the time I do not have an active WiFi connection, and I need the large extended storage space. (You try doing 6 hours a day by train without a large pack of decent film to watch.)

I admit it was tough for me to go with a32g device. I worked it out though as I'm still using the evo lte in the car for media nav hands freedialing texting etc. That's where the phablet's going whether htc or Samsung. As long as it has a card slot 16 gig is not a problem for me. 2 meg ram is more than enough on the one but more would still be fantastic. That's where the real performance improvements come in. I'll trade 4 extra cores for a gig of ram any day.

Thanks...but....No thanks.
I'll stick with my S3 and S4 and look into the S5 when it comes out.

Most phones come with locked bootloader. Anyhow this isn't a comparison of the one and s3/4. I'm looking for people who WANT an htc phablet the rumors of which imply a removable micro sd fyi.

Hi
I was listen a lot peoples talking about Nexus 4 have some problems with overheating, and I can be include in this list too, but my problem with overheating was solved when Orange give me a real micro Sim, before this I cut myself the old Sim to Micro Sim but I don't do this right, but with the real microSim my nexus are much better cold and the battery life.
I hope this information help can somebody.
Hmmm sure why not, it could possible. if the self cut micro SIM was dated and possibly made it tougher to transmit anything due to it being old and not fully "4g capable" thus causing the phone to strain more.

Wow, when I did a terrible hack job on my sim card, I didn't even think it would work as I accidentally cut into the gold metal strip. Not only did it work, I didn't notice any difference whatsoever in heat or battery life. Placebo maybe...??...
Needs more science no speculation please.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It is less likely a poor cut job and more likely a faulty sim card to begin with. I do notice that the harder the radio has to work, the hotter the back glass gets. You may have not noticed your sim card was not up to snuff with your previous phone because it didn't have a back glass that heats up like the N4.

Even my SIM cut with a SIM cutting tool gave me some problems which were extremely unusual and i thought my phone had a bad radio. Swapped SIMs and life seems good again.
Worth mentioning maybe that the gold circuit on my sim was much much larger than on newer SIMs. It was almost the entire micro SIM size. My current micro can be chipped down to a nano without losing any circuitry.
I noticed no difference when moving from my hand cut (without a template) micro SIM and a factory produced micro SIM.
You know the sales person at the T-Mobile store I go to said they don't sell micro SIMs, so he has to cut a normal one if I want a replacement. I wanna compare a micro to a cut sim but it looks like the store isn't helpful. And do you guys know if current customers have to pay for micro sims?

Simple trick
Bad sim cutters generally leave slivers on the edges of the newly cut sim. A simple trick is to take a nail file and file the edges smooth. Make sure ur sim now sits flush into the card tray of the phone.
Slip it in.. Problem solved.
Hit thanks if this helped!
The thing is that there are actually different types of SIM. I had an old one... about 5 years old.. that didn't allow my lte to work, swapped for one of the new ones and lte worked.... this is with doing the lte hack of course... but I don't think it affected the heat from my phone. But every phone is different and there are "older" SIMs that could be a factor. Not like this is going to go anywhere since nobody is going to experiment this theory anyways lol

I bought a Nexus 4 on the 22nd June. The store guy used a cutter to cut my sim into a micro sim.
From the very beginning I noticed that the battery was draining very quickly even when I would not use the phone at all (for example one night it was 75% when I went to bed and morning it was below 50%). I had no apps installed and all data connections (WiFi/3G) were turned OFF.
The max life I got out of the battery was not more than 18 hours! (1 hr screen time)
I installed Battery Stats Plus and found that the Sim Toolkit was the top of the list in the wake usage. I was surprised and then came across threads like this and figured it might be an issue with the micro sim.
I got a new micro sim from my carrier (Vodafone India) on the 29th June. On comparing the two SIMs, I found that older cut SIM had one of the edges at a slight angle instead of being perfectly straight. This allowed some play of the sim in the phones sim slot. The new sim has no play what so ever.
With the new sim, the battery life has improved significantly. Average time is close to 1day 6hrs (with WiFi ON most of the time and a few calls).
I'm now strongly inclined to believe the micro sim should be either cut to perfection or better to just use a new one provided by your carrier.
I'll attach a few screen shots later (I'm at work).
Hi, i am going to buy a new phone, actually I am a apple user at the moment but I pass to android. I narrow the alternatives in to two. Htc Butterfly S and Xperia Z1. Which one is better, what are your suggesttions. I am actually closer to Butterfly S because of its beautiful screen and batterly life. But build quality and water resistance are the pros of Xperia z1. Can you help me to choose the one. Thanks in advance...

Get 're butterfly s
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Sony Z1:
-is cheaper (and you'll have to import the Butterfly S, it's only released in Asia)
-has a battery almost as big as the Butterfly S's, (3000mah vs 3200mah)
-has a faster processor (snapdragon 800 vs snapdragon 600)
-has a lot better camera (not just more megapixels)
-is made of metal (Butterfly S is all plastic)
-is dust proof and water resistant, more than 1 meter for 30 minutes Sony claims
-has a Triluminos display with X-Reality Engine, whatever that means
2 reasons to pick the Butterfly over the Z1:
1) the Z1 feel uncomfortable in the hand, it's al edges, where the Butterfly S is nicely rounded and fits perfectly in the hand
2) dual front speakers on the Butterfly S, imho that's where speakers are suppesed to be
Z1 wasn't available when i bought my Butterfly S, not sure what i would've bought if they would've been released at the same time, the fact you probably will need to import the Butterfly S might make it an easier choice...

I will visit to Azerbaijan in January htc butterfly s is available there and I am planning to get it from there. My hesitations about Z1 are the screen and battery (most of the reviews says that it is not well enough ). Butterfly s's screen is awesome and the battery is so well. Of course z1 has a great build quality but anyway it is a tough decision
The downside of the water proofing is all those dust covers that annoyed the crap out of me with the Xperia Z and it feels like a large flat brick in my hand, it's ok on the iPhone cuz it's smaller. I went for the BFS and loving it, specially battery life, I could care less for the other specs cuz these phones are now faster than my laptop. One thing to add is I can't use a phone without HTC sense, to me all others look n feel inferior.

You plan buying a phone in Azerbaijan? It's like 200 bucks more I bought mine from UAE for 700$ here it's ~850$ (I live in Azerbaijan). I don't like the Xperia phones cause the device is really uncomfortable, I have never had a water resistant phone and guess what I still have almost all of my phones here in my drawer and all of them are working And the UI on the Xperia devices is awful, it's really ugly, it's something stuck between AOSP and a custom skin by the OEM and boring whereas HTC Sense is just beautiful and you can customize it the way you want with the new Venom One ROM
Hope I helped
I can suggest a website for online ordering if you want. It's way cheaper there

I was also thinking about it... but Butterfly S has a Hello Kitty version... so expensive but it's a collectible! Course as a 30+ woman I have something about HK and Samsung HK phone is Galaxy Y, garbage!
A friend has Xperia Z1 and he said it's a cool phone... and HK Butterfly S has no 4G but... 4G is so expensive here that my family can't have it, my father pays my phone's bills so I must have what he wants to. The only way to have it is buying from eBay, there is a nice seller who sends EMS. Z1 I can buy anywhere here in Brazil and it costs about 705USD here, almost the same amount as HK Butterfly S. So, yes... I can't decide! :silly:
Help me, Butterfly S owners! :fingers-crossed:

Thread Closed - More Info
I want to buy this phone, but is actually expensive, so my question is it worth buying?Or should i wait for Htc Two?Do you have any regrets?
the only regret i have is that the LTE bands on the 901s aren't the EMEA bands (something the seller did claim, grrr), so i can't get a LTE connection, my provider uses the 800 band, but the 901s supports the 900Mhz band (and 1800 / 2100 / 2600)
600$ seems like a lot, but it's a premium phone, a galaxy s4 costs the same (here in the netherlands anyway)
what i love about the BS:
-GREAT battery life
-fast, the snapdragon 600 handles everything i throw at it
-front dual speakers, something all phone should have
-5" full hd screen
-fits very nicely in my hands, unlike the xperia z1
-looks good (i have the red version)
-rare
i never met anyone with a Butterfly S, i somehow like having something others don't
after owning the One X, which had HORRIBLE battery life, i switched to the Motorola Razr MAXX, finally a phone that could handle an entire day and still have some juice left at the end of the day
but it was lacking in power/responsiveness and i wanted a slightly bigger screen (i really wanted a 5.2" screen), with criteria like a 5" screen, great battery life AND a fast processor (and 2gb ram) the BS was the only option (at that time, the z1 was released months after i bought mine, but i just don't like the way it feels in the hand)
what i don't like?
errrr, not much
let's put it this way: for my next phone i'd like a version of the BS with
-5.2" screen (full hd or higher, but full hd is ok)
-metal housing (the BS squeaks a bit)
-better camera with optical stabilization
edit: and i want EMEA LTE bands of course
i think i should be comfortable for 2014 with this phone, so my answer is yes
Ok thanks a lot for your answer.I will make the decision to buy this phone.
Just buy it!

One month ago I was in your situation! and I did it I bought it ...One of my smartest choice ever! Battery life 3 days, good sound, superb screen good built materials and yeah I have to agree with previous comment..pretty rare just like gold
The One that could have really saved HTC
That's how I would describe this phone.
Let's see how M8 will improve over Butterfly S. Otherwise, it will be like the One Max, which did nothing for me.
in addition, i would even dare say: there's no other phone available right now that i would choose over the BS
-
Hell Yeah
Definitely man! It's worth almost every penny I payed for it. I said almost every because of no Optical Image Stabilization, but hey I still think the camera is decent, even better imho plastic housing is better than metal maybe it's because of my skin metal slips out of my hand and I was really close to damaging my sister's One once So, yeah I'd recommend you buy it The only thing I miss is Cyanogenmod
I just bought it. I had the Htc One for one week and sold it, and now i choosed Butterfly S for bigger display, battery, better cpu freqvuency.I like it and recomand it.:good:

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

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.
