Galaxy s4 or HTC One (May be joining you all with the One Up plan soon)

Understanding that there will be bias here i will likely ask the same question in the one forums.
S4 or the one? and why?

I can't say either since I don't have.the one. Take this into consideration. Both phones only support 1900 lte. Sprint is turning on 800 and 2500 lte now. 800 will give you way better distance and penetration. Tri band lte phones coming. Other wise the s4 kicks ass. The battery last and its removable. The ones is not and its smaller.

Left HTC over a year ago, after owning each EVO from the very beginning. Would never look back. Plus, the community here is the best buncha guys I've worked with by far!

i love my S4 but i also love the htc one......there's perks to both and there's cons to both, personally i like the S4 because of the expandable memory and the removable battery, i like the htc one because of the solid build and the sense ui but that's just me.....i wish i would've waited for the note 3 but hey, i'm not complaining lol

Battery and SD on S4 sold me as well

User replaceable battery and SD card storage capabilities is why I like the s4. I've had problems with both HTC phones I've owned. On average, I've had less problems with Samsung phones. HTC, in the news, seems to be struggling. Just my opinion.

Both phones are good. HTC one with those speakers, metal build. And that red color it came out in is amazing. The S4 with the camera, sd card, removable battery. With that being said, I've never used an HTC one for more than 40 seconds lol. So I can't tell you any experience of it. But the S4 has been good for me. The first phone I've owned that I haven't cared to put a custom rom on.

I'll never buy an HTC device again. I've personally had too many issues with their products in the past.

I own an S4 and I won a One (gave it to my wife).
Personally I don't want anything other than Samsung, but I admit the One is a great device. I'd say you should go with the Sammy based on my past experience. I've owned several without any issues. Had 2 Evo 3Ds with issues. That turned me off HTC.
If you root, I'd take a look at both development forums while deciding.

That's the other thing as well. Granted the S4,had some issues with root from the get go, but since the S3,its been super easy to root and unroot. HTC some makes some of the best hardware in this industry today, but I've just gotten super fend p with the software and such. Even tho, I haven't tried there latest with the One, I still don't plan on it. Only other device I wild turn to either than a Sammy, would be a Nexus, and that's it. Mostly for developing and Theming purposes. And for people thinking of moving from HTC to a Samsung, stay clear of some of the tech sites that knock on the S4. Take the 14 days that Sprint gives and test it out yourself. Cause I think most of the them are talking out of there arse

S4 on removable battery and microsd... been using TP2 on sero since 2009. If htc would made one with removable batt, microsd and world phone capability with sim card like TP2, I might hv stayed w them... but sadly, although the unibody of the one very aesthetic, it limited several features discussed all important to me... so now its S4.

I posted this over in the ROM threads. But look at these results.

I had the s4 but switched to the One. Iam really happy since switching bc to me the phone looks better, feels better and has less lag then the S4. Had to get the a replacement bc of a blown speaker but thats it so far.

This is happening to a lot of people with the s4.. just a heads up before deciding to go with s4. I work at a repair center and we see this a lot with s4 owners. Sometimes worse. This picture was just from today

Simple. Galaxy phones are built cheap.. this guy said this happened this morning when he got to work. It plugged it in and about 30 minutes later he noticed this. The charger he brought back is the one that came with the phone.
But like I said. We see this almost on a weekly basis. Just galaxy s3 and s4. Mostly s4. I've only had 2 with s3.

I also had a bunch of HTC's before going to the S4 when it came out. Thought they were good devices, until my wife got an S3 and I found out I was missing out. The Samsung's just work, and work well. The HTC's are quirky, don't pick up data signals as well, cameras have too much tint/over exposure, drop calls more, etc. I'm SO happy with the S4.
Nothing much in the forums about S4's melting. May be happening, but I can't believe it's a big issue at all or it'd be all over the place.

I owned the HTC one for about 2 months and just recently came over to the GS4. I actually like the GS4 better than I like the one. Both are great phones but battery life seems to be better on the GS4 and I just like the look of the GS4. I always use a case on my phones. So build materials mean nothing to me. Also beats is gimmicky IMHO without root and V4A the one seemed to always have distorted bass on certain songs when listening to music with ear buds. This device with moderate sound increase with V4A blows the one out in quality for sound just my 2 cents. I happy I switched.

*** The Official "It's here! It's arrived!" Thread

Just like everyone else, I'm patiently waiting for the mailman to ring my doorbell. Not only for the cases and screen protectors ive purchased, but most importantly for the Nexus 5 I've ordered!
So I figured an official "it arrived" thread was in order. So post up when you get yours! Post pictures! Post videos! Post short reviews! Whatever you feel like!

Is yours out for delivery today? Someone from the shipping thread says his is out for delivery, received shipping notification 5 am and lives in NYC. Just curious about the chances of arriving today.

Does it feel a lot thinner then the N4? My wife has an HTC One and I love the thinness of that device. My N4 feels like a brick next to it. Do you notice much difference when holding the N4 and N5?
Also, how is Kit-Kat. Dies it feel like much of the same? What about screen size? On a 4.7" screen the nav bottons feel like they take up way to much room. On a 5" screen, do you now feel like there is plenty of screen real estate to do what you want to do?
And last for now, how does the screen quality compare to the N4 or any other top of the line phone out now?
Thank for any responses....

Doesn't feel any thinner to personally, When I lay the N5 flat next to the N4 is actually pretty level due to the camera hump.
Kit-Kat is smooth and really responsive, the translucent Status and Nav bar is a great touch imo.
The screen real estate is ok for me, especially considering this is about as big as my hand can support with one handed use. I'm sure as soon as custom roms start coming along we will be able to utilise PIE controls again.
In terms of Screen quality it's really sharp but the colours appear to be slightly washed out but once again I'm sure custom kernels will remedy this.

after some time please share battery life impressions.. !!!

That sucks about the size! So no wow factor with the screen. I love the HTC One screen so was hoping the N5 would be just as good or better.

Hey all

I hope I'm in the right place for this.. I just wanted to say hello I'm Alex aka. Mysticfrog.. I've been a serious fanboy of Samsung phones until late last one being a note 3.. Great phone but just really got tired of the whole gimmick it was turning out to be. So I decided to check out the nexus 5... Big time different from the Samsung series of phones but I Love it!! It's fast sleek and just all around incredible.. This is the total Android experience I have been waiting for.. anyhow I just wanted to introduce myself so hi all... I've read a lot of threads here and y'all seem like a bunch of cool guys and girls I'm just glad I made the step.. The development here is amazing so I'm looking forward to hanging and having fun

Embrace the sense of freedom, it feels amazing when you're coming from a HTC or Sammy device... so, SO many roms and kernels to chose from and they all mostly work together, unlike for example HTC One X where half the kernels dont work with the other half of the roms and you gotta repack and flash the kernel through fastboot... what a chore just to switch kernel. And S-off... ffff... Anyways welcome to the world of Nexus and hope all your flashing experiences go smoothly! :good::good::good:
and LOOOOL at the S5 comparison with the bandaid ahahahah! good one

yeah you hit the nail right on the head a phone full of junk!!! that and knox I really dont understand why sammy added that..
All i actually did was roll into tmobile to pay my bill and while i was waiting I saw this device just chilling there looking like a chocolate bar so as i started messing with it I realized that some of the roms i flashed on my note 3that i really liked originated from this devise.. So i sat down looked it up, checked out some reviews played with it some more and realized this is the true android experience i crave.. well actually i pulled up the xda site to see how much "love" this device was getting and that kinda sold me.. the development is huge here... Im running droidkang right now which im loving..
one question tho is there any way when i flash a rom how do i keep my music from being deleted?? What i do is basically just redownload it from my laptop, is there an easier way?? Im just used to having that internal mem card... thanks for the warm welcome all..

WELCOME

Just ordered the Nexus from Tmobile.com
Had the s3 for 2 years, was considering the Note 3 and S5 (i have a love/hate relationship with the S5)
But like somebody earlier said I crave for stock android plus it helps that my mother has a nexus 5 and 7(2013).

So I'll keep things short and simple to start with. This thread is not for discussing issues with phones or anything, it's for the the exact opposite.
What are everyone's thoughts on the iPhone 6?
When do you think Android L will release?
Anybody pick up Destiny since it released?

I literally just showed that to my sister and she said, "I don't care how great an Android is, I'll always want an iPhone."
It's a social symbol these days. And I guess in our society our value is what others perceive of us. So yeah, people are going to keep buying those things. Breaks my heart.
Although I will say, the slow motion video could be kind of cool. Not that I'd see myself using it.

The only thing bout iOS that I'll admit is kinda nice, is when you jailbreak, and something screws up, it's very very hard to brick it. Just use iTunes and you can just restore it.
But then again, that would be to easy huh? Cx

Haha, I can't count how many times I've restored my phones via KDZ flashes... Nearing a hundred I assume lol.

Wow look apple made the iPhone 6 bigger and faster never saw that coming. Not really ground breaking stuff
I think that ios8 is a nice update for the ifags.
Has is some cool stuff, all things android has had for awhile.
But I still wouldn't buy a iPhone. In my opinion iPhone are the Nokia of the 90s, generic as [email protected]#k.
Really looking forward to see what android brings with its android L release.
The Sony xperia z2 has slow motion camera too

You hit the nail on the head. It's a status thing. Most people spend way too much time worrying about what others think of them. This distorts their own perception of themselves. I figured out early in life, as a teenager, that it really doesn't matter to me what others think of me. I am who I am the way I am.
On another note... CM11 currently building and I am waaayyy past where I was getting errors earlier. No longer using CAF kernel. Switched to LGs kernel base instead, for the time being anyways. Having to do a fresh build so it won't finish til @ 0400 EST.

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

Before owning this phone I just wrote off LG as a Samsung copy cat. Considering how similar the UI and features they share. After owning this phone I have come to the conclusion that LG UI(whatever they call their UI) is touchwiz done right. Much like how I feel about MIUI iOS done right as well...still can't wait until more AOSP roms are present. Hoping this unreal price attracts devs to tinker with it

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

I agree and am grateful for all the work you and other devs do. Any plans on doing a ROM based off of LG stock ROM like HTC and Samsung has? Not a request nor trying to sound pushy just curious

The comparison is not exactly valid. You're comparing a smaller 4.6" screen with HD resolution only (Z3C) with a 5.0" Full-HD (X Perf.).
Think it's more realistic to compare it to the Z2, Z3, Z3+ and Z5...

I really like 89 hr battery life z2 i really hope they start return that kind of battery life i want 100+ hr not 61 hr. They should start thinking of how hd games eat battery life

Thanks for the review...
I have a few things.. The phone going to 3g is normal, in Denmark when making a call to a number from another provider it goes to 3g but when making call to one using same provider it uses 4g for HDVOICE.
LTE is the same as 4G even though it is not 4g but that is another story. It is the same...so no big deal there.
I will await my phone and I look forward to it, my old z3 is in bad shape ?
Thanks again and have a great weekend ?

HellRoot,
Sure thing man!
Well here a phone w/o VoLTE should stay in 4G at least, but I guess if the one is not FROM (or locked) a carrier, it's not gonna get 4G. I just found out what I'm getting during a call is that it's switching back & forth between 3G and H+, or 3.5G. Some real BS eh? lol
Yeah NOT during a call my int'l XP shows LTE, which I know now is the same as 4G LTE. But it's DURING a call that is what I'm concerned with. Apparently there's more to it than just the VoLTE-certification, b/c my phone is no different than the T-Mo Z1s (which again does NOT have VoLTE either) EXCEPT that it's unlocked and int'l.
Yeah I had the Z3 too and I LOVED it!! Got the S7 but it just wasn't the same. lol Tried the HTC 10 too but still.........to me, Sony is still the best. The Z3 had better battery life than the XP does though, so make sure to get that 360 Hibernation Master app (full paid version!) too. See my review for all the details. Also a QC 2.0 or esp 3.0 charger will help deal with that too.
YW. You too buddy!!

xperia "X" vs. "X Performance" Ctrl c - ctrl v test by gsmarena

Lte is 4g, it is exactly the same as lte4g or whatever you want to call it. The shown symbol or name is down to region of firmware only.

This phone is finally a fine replacement for my z3c. The z5c has been a huge disappointment, horrible battery life, average camera, constant resets or firmware reinstalls.
First off, it's ridiculous that the contacts app force closes. Not sure how that doesn't get caught in beta. Aside from that the phone stays cool, is fast, takes amazing photos, and is eminently stable.

Hey Bialynia,
Yeah I really love it too! I wish it had a bigger battery like my Z3 did, but it's still pretty good, esp when using the 360 Hibernation Master app with it. Works like Stamina Mode but better.
Yeah I think it's ridiculous too. I started a thread on here a few days ago about it. MGS seems to have found a fix, but it didn't work for me, though it might for you? Take a look at the thread here. Let me know if it works for you or not (if you try it)!
I agree on all points....... the camera is definitely better than the HTC 10's and even my now former Galaxy S7's! More detailed than the 10, and more color accurate (and not oversaturated) than the S7's. It runs and loads up apps much quicker than the S7 did, and that had an extra GB of RAM on it! The speakers sound much better than the S7's super awful lone speaker, it doesn't skip while playing music through MicroUSB port with headphones like the S7 constantly did, looks really premium too, etc. I have absolutely no regrets about buying it this phone.

I'm hoping to have an unlocked US version of the X performance possibly late this week and will post thoughts.

lindseybp,
Nice. Despite Sony Mobile not advertising it for the US XP, many people are claiming that the US XP WILL in fact be IP65/68 compliant. It'd be nice if someone (not saying you lol) could test that. Others on here say sometime soon (if not already) someone will develop a flash for the US XP that will actually activate the fingerprint sensor. You may want to ask around on here about that if you want to use it. They say it won't require root or even unlocking of the bootloader, which is extra nice. lol

Would be nice to have a flash like that. I would definitely give it a go. As for testing the IP65/68......I would have to think about it....

Yeah it would. lol So far I've been told you need something called Flashtool (bookmark that link and download now) and then the FTF file (int'l individual firmware file which will just activate the fingerprint sensor, vs the full int'l firmware file which will change everything, but you may not want that.) It's nice b/c unlocking the bootloader on an Xperia phone has been known to permanently mess up the camera, but this doesn't require that or again rooting either. I'd also check through these threads with the word "firmware" being the search term used for the XP. Or just start your own requesting that FTF file.
Haha again, I WASN'T implying you should test that, but someone. I'm sure someone on YouTube will soon enough too, so I'd keep checking there.

I started having other issues with XP this weekend. It randomly restarted like twice on its own, and now after doing another factory reset, I'm noticing that during calls where I have Speakerphone off the screen is STILL not turning off. So returning it for a new one, and am hoping I'll have the same luck MGS did with everything including the Contacts app. lol
