Hi,

I agree with gogsy1975, the update politics of HTC is really very disappointing. The Desire HD was the flag ship and then there is no support anymore. If they would at least release the drivers .... I installed now the JellyTime Mod but having trouble with the camera and the barcode reader.

So, next phone? probably a one year old Google phone which at least gets updates... and it doesnt make sense spent 600 bucks in a phone...

Cheers

After playing around with friend's Galaxy Nexus choosing my next phone will be easy. A phone without proper software support is a waste of money when it comes to my needs and preferences. I just wish I had known better one and a half years ago.

I would love to say I'd ditch HTC, but I like sense. I like the sgs3, but prefer sense to touchwiz from my short play with it.

At least with HTC I'll get the choice of using sense or not.

Very tempted to get myself the one x, but holding off for the next flagship from HTC. Not sure when that'll be though?
[Desire HD General] ChristianFS1:
I wouldn't recommend the desire x. Its processor sucks, even though they call it an "s4 play". Based off of tech older than even the dhd, it seems :/.

ICS..

Seems strange to me that people are that bothered about the whole ICS "issue" if you can call it that. For me personally my DHD is a device that works perfectly and spec / performance wise still holds its own after 18months of thrashing. Frankly im not suprised my (at least) 18month old phone cant deal with the new OTA software upgrade.

If I want ICS ill install one of the perfectly good enough roms available here otherwise ill just keep using a device that frankly has been the best phone ive ever owned.

AFAIC people get upset far too easily.. However something that would make me seriously sit up and listen is if HTC got on the canonical ubuntu/android band wagon they've got more than enough spec to use the tech in their current hardware let alone upcoming devices.

I'm on contract - upgrade date in late Aug 2012...

I'll be staying with HTC!

Probably wait for whatever released Nov 2012, or even whatever is released in Q1/2 2013
[Desire HD General] wlbwlb:
Either htc or samsung. Or WP7 phone since the only OS i have not try before.
[Desire HD General] Pop Tarantula:
Finally got my DHD, then they released Sensation (almost same as, but with a with FFCamera). Oh well! I like my internal memory much more :)

HTC have some weird ideas about onboard storage these days so I'll be looking very closely at spec sheets before making any swapsies.

Having played with a few OS/handsets while upgrading for less techie friends (iPwn, win7, S^3), I know I sure as hell won't leave Android for that tosh......
[Desire HD General] grzesiek1945:
Sgs3 or some HTC dual core
[Desire HD General] RED_:
Would like to go vanilla and get a Google phone but my contract is up next November so i doubt they will release a new phone around then and well the one they just released will be quite outdated by then. Hope they release something. I hate touchwiz on the Samsungs so i would probably go for HTC again if i can't get a google phone. Would want it to have NFC and the full works though.

I was always looking into Samsung galaxy 2 skyrocket. But I'm just gonna wait until this phone breaks and get the next newest phone for att. Hopefully, the rumored HTC vile will be released.
[Desire HD General] HoundDK:
Changing in May

Although I really like Sense from a user experience perspective, I'm fed up with HTC and their slicing every phone into 20 devices. Buy a HTC and it feels old "the day after". Also, HTC has been slow in introducing both new technology (dual core... etc. etc) and SW upgrades. Just look at the DHD which was supposed to be a Hero device, yet it only recently recieved sense 3.0 and 3.5 is already availble on other devices.

I recently bought a preloved LG O2X for my wife and I'm impressed. I realize official 2.3 has been coming for a long time, but LG just restated their support for this device sheculing ICS for Q2 2012. So an LG device, such as the Nitro HD, could be an option.

Could be a Nokia Lumia 800 since I'm kinda warming up to WP7 and I'm impressed with the N9/Lumia 800 devices.

But since I really love the freedom that android supplies, it's more likely that I'll go for an ICS based device with a huge screen. Like the Galaxy Note although I suspect it would be a bit to big for daily use.

But what I would really love is a Galaxy S3 although it's not likely to be around in May.
[Desire HD General] haerigrek:
my girlfriend is thinking about buying Samsung Galaxy Note and switching with me for my DHD. How cool is that?!
[Desire HD General] HoundDK:
I'd say she's a keeper! :-)
[Desire HD General] TwistedSanity666:
Is it blasphemous to say that I'd like the Motorola Razr next, simply for the fact that it physically looks better than most phones on the market?

(maybe not as blasphemous as saying iPhoney 4s)
[Desire HD General] smog:
Actually, nothing really worths changing my DHD.
[Desire HD General] tim.smart:
To be honest, the DHD is some of the best looking android hardware I have seen. Unfortunately the board inside won't upgrade with each new ROM I flash... Wishful thinking.

I would probably get a galaxy nexus if I didn't have my DHD already. The HTC Rhyme looks nice though...
[Desire HD General] Dlog:
Next phone? hmmmm....

I got my DHD last january and since i'm not on a contract, i'll probably wait until i can't use my phone any more for games or they release phones that have much longer standby times.

What i want my next phone to have?

An OLED screen, so i can activate the phone without draining 1% of battery every 5 minutes...

At least a dual core, so it uses even less juice when idle.... (meaning it shuts off unused cores when they aren't needed)

And NO unibody! The Anker 1900mAh battery for the Sensation is working fine in my phone but why would i need to do such a thing if i could just get a bigger battery and a new backcover? The DHD wasn't a bad choice for my very first smartphone but i'm definitly not doing the same mistake again and buy a phone with such a small battery.
[Desire HD General] trh1341:
I honestly just picked up an HTC titan and am loving it:)
[Desire HD General] balto1:
I just flashed new Sense 3.5 Energy TM and have to admit, it is the best custom ROM I've had on my DHD. It's smooth, rock stable and looks gorgeous.

Desire HD can do anything you need, think I'll keep it for half a year to year at least. Then I'll get my hands on something like HTC Edge. Galaxy Note is sweet, but don't like build quality of Samsung, whole shell out of plastic and super light. If only HTC used better screens with aluminium solid build they'd have no competition. They seem to be improving on the screens as it seems ;)
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
im on the same train, after i converted my DHD into a stock sensation XL using the E3RbusXL rom, im more then impressed by the path that HTC sense is taking

sensation XL is the sexiest phone HTC has ever done and sense 3.5 is pure class and finally some effort toward locked smoothness by HTC, i also tried ICS+Sense 3.5 leak on the sensation and i was frankly speechless, its clear HTC is aiming for high end feel from now on

im definitively sticking to HTC for their high grade construction material, and if their phones will be like the XL form now on, i'll stay their loyal fan

i really want to upgrade and give my wife the DHD, however there are no choices yet, the sensation classic/XE screen disappointed me with very low response times and ghosting issues as well being smaller then the DHD screen in width, plus issues with the GPU drivers, i also don't like the extruded power button and chrome paint on the metal buttons, i love the brushed/flushed ones on the DHD, the sensation XL is just a twin of the DHD despite its sex appeal

so i'm waiting for either a phone with HD display like the rezound but for us in the euro region or better yet a quad core+HD

for now nothing that HTC has beats the DHD! its still running all game at full speed too

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

yes titan or XL they are the same, very sexy IPS screen, but man windows 7 is nothing compared to android, sorry you will be missing out the ICS+sense3.5
[Desire HD General] :
Just ordered my Galaxy Nexus!

Normally I wouldn't have ordered a Samsung device (I despise TouchWiz), but as this is a Nexus - why not? Bit gutted about the 5mp camera though, quality won't be as good as on my Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] FurryCup:
I'd like a SGs2, but as quad cores are just around the corner I'll root my DHD to ICS to put me on till quad core heaven arrives.
[Desire HD General] akaSol:
HTC EDGE or the Galaxy III

[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
We got annoyed because HTC promised us an update, and then cancelled it for no valid reason, whilst continuing it on the other very similar devices. They then went on to basically call us DHD users stupid, so we abandoned hope basically

[Desire HD General] spinelessnorman:
I was thinking about One X - but only recently discovered the power (and joy!) of owning a rooted DHD and now I'm not so sure if I need a new phone, after trying numerous roms I've installed Sabsa Prime 4.1 and it's as good as I need, so stopped thinking about new phone at all.
[Desire HD General] Grant Barker:
I still enjoy and love my Desire HD. The volume button/rocker is starting to fail though just 2 months shy of my contract completion.

I'm under no pressure to upgrade or change, but I am very curious about the Samsung Galaxy Note II or Windows 8 on the Nokia 920..
[Desire HD General] scorpiopantera:
My Inspire 4G is still like new. Its been rooted and flash all kinds of roms...if my phone had a front camera and a true notification LED, I would totally keep it!

Galaxy S3 is in my near future. Ever since my girlfriend got the Galaxy Note, Samsung has took ahold of me. Lol
[Desire HD General] shahidanw:
I own DHD its a good phone but disappointed to know it wont get ice-cream official update, thou developers at xda are working very great. but official support from htc should be there. next phone may be htc or Samsung but definitely android os.
[Desire HD General] Rikodu:
my next phone after DHD is not yet on the market
[Desire HD General] Romburn:
I'm with you on that one. Nothing out now offers anything dramatically new that makes me say 'I have to upgrade'. The DHD with the XDA custom roms around make my phone feel new but like a familiar friend! :D
[Desire HD General] P00t:
galaxy note 2! hell yeah! haha
[Desire HD General] mugga187:
Possibly the next Google phone, won't buy HTC again after what they did to DHD.
[Desire HD General] r31_gav:
still love the desire hd, waiting till april though for contract to finish then htc one xl from telstra is for me, unless a newer version is out. even though htc pulled the pin on us there still the best phone company to me anyway, love their phones and sense. everyones in business to make money remember!
[Desire HD General] sam_w:

[Desire HD General] pgptheoriginal:
I'm a DHD user and I hope it will last another couple of years but, if I had to change my smartphone, I'd choose a Nexus: I love the AOSP Android experience and, since ICS, I think that manufacturers' customizations are only excuses to delay or cancel firmware updates.

If google decided to release a $2-300 smartphone with high-end specifications and great quality-price ratio, as it did with the Nexus 7, I'd probably buy it :D
[Desire HD General] -SmOgER:
The funny part of this is that you usually cant go for a phone with a smaller screen when(if) you decide to upgrade. Things like iPhone 4S begin to look childish :D

Yes but... what could come after the Note 2? (for those who want to replace the DHD with it) :D
[Desire HD General] K.Chan:
I'm getting the iPhone 5 now... At least Apple care about their customer, unlike HTC , don't give a **** to our ICS update... :(
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Obviously your excluding current iPhone users who's accessories no longer fit unless they purchase a butt ugly $30 adaptor.
[Desire HD General] icytrey:
Apple cares about money. HTC could not give us the update because of partition issues, not due to lack of caring for their customers.
[Desire HD General] K.Chan:
is an adapter mate, i'm sure when the phone is out ebay will be flooded with cheap aftermarket adapter, just like the usb car charger.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

If HTC do care about us they would have release the source code already, it is time to wake up, they just don't care anymore.
[Desire HD General] icytrey:
Doesn't really bother me too much... Eligible for an upgrade soon... Drooling for a Galaxy Note 2
[Desire HD General] SirDzstic:
I don't have the money, but if I had and needed a new phone, it would definitely be a SGS3.
[Desire HD General] noam_el:
I love HTC, and specifically my DHD, for two main reasons:

1. The best UI a smartphone can have (yes - Sense eats the iPhone's sacred UI for breakfast).

2. The best materials used for building the phone (not the regular plastic that most phones have).

However, the fact that HTC stopped upgrading my phone's OS after only one year (DHD was announced on Sep 2010, ICS was announced on Oct 2011) is a deal breaker. And I'm sorry, but the whole partitioning issue is nothing more than a lame excuse. I can think of several solutions for this "problem", non of which is to cancel the ICS upgrade.

HTC pulls their phones out of support lifecycle way too early, so our expensive phones turn into antiques ahead of time. It has happened before (with Desire), and it WILL happen again.

My next phone is definitely a Nexus, whatever model available when I decide to upgrade.
[Desire HD General] Antu81:
For me, HTC is fantastic.

If I had needed a new phone, it would definitely be a HTC One series. :good:
[Desire HD General] xxkid123:
Another HTC fan.

I like Sense, what can I say?

I don't like the ONE X series for the US, as my carrier doesn't provide any other option than the 16 gb one, and it doesn't have expandable phone storage. Plus not being able to pull the battery is another issue (I know there's a key press combination, but I've heard issues with it).

I'm thinking of the Vivd (Raider), but its dev community seems to be a little lacking.

It's an phone after all nothing special. But if you can use your brain and think about you would know that. SGS II is more then enogh. Dual core phones are way better then quad cores. Benchmark is nothing. Donate your money for starving kids don't be a hipster :D no offense but hope some people get what I mean by my words.

[Desire HD General] fanuch:
On second thoughts....

After having my DHD for about 2 years now, I really wanted to upgrade my phone. Maybe a One X? or a Galaxy S3? but after some solid contemplation, I asked myself why? This is a magnificent phone, with so many ROMS available which has never given me any grief, I can even overclock it to 1.46Mhz meaning it never lacks when playing games or multiple apps open, it is made of metal and not plastics meaning it has good weight and I have loads of scratches, but hasn't left me with a shattered screen or an unusable phone. I've decided to buy new housing (about $25 US) to make it look new, and with new releases of Jellytime coming out every couple of days, never feels like I'm behind on the Android operating system.

I <3 DHD

[Desire HD General] dr_stevens:
I use my DHD for over 2 years. As for changing to a new device (the HTC products of year 2012), I don't see anything unique: standard, similar design for HTC, minor hardware improvements. DHD covers yet all my needs completely. So, therefore, I expect more improvements and innovations in 2013. I can't say exactly which of the devices being prepared for release in 2013, I would like to have. More likely I'll buy a windows 8 tablet and wait for redesigned, new, distinguished devices. Today I don't see any reasons to replace my DHD with another one. :) P.S. Sorry for my English ;)
[Desire HD General] popoair:
