[HTC One S] :
I don't know if this plays into the "at some point you are the mercy of you data connection"--but--

As I am still looking at the One S and GN for TMobile. I tried both at the stores the last couple days,

GN on Verizon LTE, 10-13mb dl's

One S 5mb dl's

Used same Speedtest app from Market

Dayton, Ohio

The One S seemed to dl faster the XDA forum links than the GN on Verizon. One S very fluid.

Not sure if that says anything--just FYI

Just got the One S... By far the best android phone I have ever had my hands on. Smooth, slim, great battery. Pentile screen still looks good, even in sunlight. The 16gb storage might be a deal breaker but personally I don't carry that much storage on me. I'm coming from the horrible g2x though so anything is better .
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
In the US the SGSIII will basically be a One X with a different form factor and Touchwiz over Sense.......
[HTC One S] ajftl:
I agreed with u. Data speeds come down to play big for.me. phone can have 4 turbos but u on a 3g network. Lol. Fb slow surfing web slow. And it goes......
[HTC One S] Someone09:
Yeah. I´m afraid it will.

Looks like I will stick with my One S. At least until Asus is willing to (finally) release the Padfone.
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
Updated news on the Supposed S3, no Quad-core apparently for US versions.

http://phandroid.com/2012/05/01/use...sung-galaxy-s-iii-with-qualcomm-s4-processor/

So that means the One S will be faster, well if your Comparing Phones Running 1280 x 720 displays running S4 Duel Core processors. They don't fare as wll as the One S with the S4.
[HTC One S] godutch:
It's raw power vs the polished user experience Sense gives you, as it has always been with Samsung vs HTC; I have been using Touchwiz( with some 3rd party launchers, btw touchwiz isn't bad at all, it just isn't as good as Sense) for a year now and still miss many small features from Sense. My next phone won't be picked pure on specs and unless Samsung improve on touchwiz, I'll choose HTC again.
[HTC One S] majalo:
I have never been a fan of any android skins. Ever since I preordered my G1, I've always been a fan of near-stock AOSP builds. I remember when motoblur first came out on... Donut? and was terrified of what was to come.

That said, I feel like Sense 4.0 is much closer to a dev mod than manufacturer bloatware. I like to think of it as "Diet Sense". I was admittedly lost when I first picked up the Droid Incredible. However, with SU and Titanium on Sense4, I'm happy having removed T-Mo(US)'s "value-add" software and still maintaining the outstanding, sense-based camera.

Regarding TouchWiz, and this is admittedly a matter of personal preference, I've never really "got it." Doesn't feel like android, appears more like a feature phone, and scared me away from picking up the SGS2 long ago. I love their hardware and design aesthetic, but have never understood the direction they've taken with their skin choices.

I was somewhat hesitant at first with my one S, but it has been growing on me more and more every day.
[HTC One S] ydizzle:
Just saw the specs of the S3. The US version should have dual core instead the quad as well.

I'm not impressed at all.

Glad I chose the One S :)
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
I am very impressed. This is a better phone than the One X and people are already choosing the X over the S. Hardware its a way better phone than the S too. Its a beast of a phone

Now that this has been announced no one will buy the S and the development for the S already sucks to begin with. I feel gutted that I went for the S

[HTC One S] ydizzle:
The S3 has a better front camera, but it doesn't really affect me since I barely use the secondary camera. But I think the One S camera and its features are superior. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also the US version is most probably going to have the Snapdragon S4 Processor.

I've never been a fan of TouchWiz, I think Sense 4.0 is the best of both worlds, user-friendly and it doesnt fleet like bloat at all.

Overall the One S will have a better user experience compared to the S3, from the first looks of it.

But I am intrigued to see how their "eye-recognition" software will add to the overall experience.
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
Well I don't know about the US version but correct me if I am wrong.

The S3 has a better processor than both the X and the S according to the benchmarks. It has more storage than the S. It has a 4.8" 720p AMOLED display. It has nfc. it has wireless charging.

So how is the X or S better than this phone if we take design out of the equation?
[HTC One S] seangprice:
Not sure its a better processor.. it may be quad core but that means squat. Look at the test scores for the S. Handedly the fastest phone on the market with dual core kraits. If you need NFC and a larger screen perhaps the S3 is better . I prefer the better design and premium build feel of HTC.
[HTC One S] ydizzle:
^Agreed. If your strictly looking at the specs then overall the S3 wins of course.

But not so sure about the build quality/user experience.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Handily until the SIII was benchmarked.
[HTC One S] QuintusDias:
The SGS3 is a joke. How can you you put all that awesome hardware in such a hidious casing? TechRadar says it feels like the S2, cheap and plastic.

And the screen, 4.8'. Are you kidding me?

One S for me, any day of the week.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
It's about the same size as the SGSII.
[HTC One S] zeroprobe:
I don't think the mainstream will be buying 4.7inch phones, there just too big. I very much doubt the One X or the S3 will get sales like the S2 and Sensation did.

People slowly realising that they don't want there phones to be too big, thats why I changed to the S and love it. I found out a guy at work has done the same thing. 4.3inch will be the sweet spot again in the future.
[HTC One S] sswb27:
Here's some more info on the s3.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...-fast-thin-and-a-little-bit-cheap-feeling.ars
[HTC One S] seangprice:
Check anandtechs benchmarks... S3 does well here and there but I see the One S on top in many tests... Beating even the gsm version of the One X.
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
yea idk i wouldn't go with the first quad core phone in the U.S. after the first dual core phone launched here (G2x) failed miserably ... just give me something that looks nice, isn't too big, and does what I need it to ... and right now I don't need a 4.8 inch screen, NFC, or wireless charging or even Touchwiz

but that's just me
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:
pretty sure US customers are getting a dual-core version
[HTC One S] iwasblown:
if you result want a power play get the next nexus.
[HTC One S] viper_79:
Most ridiculous post I've read in a very long time...
[HTC One S] Someone09:
I am actually pretty disappointed by the S3.

I was still hoping they would find a way to make it smaller. But holy hell, that thing is even bigger than the One X.

And even if I´d be going for a TV sized phone I´d probably still be choosing the One X.

Well, at least if the battery fix for the X will be confirmed.
[HTC One S] aza314:
Yeah, that was also my only worry after buying a One S on Monday - that Samsung would manage to build a 4.7" phone with a slim bezel to make the overall package smaller than the One S. Thankfully (for possible buyer's remorse) they didn't succeed :)
[HTC One S] Someone09:
I probably have to thank Samung for inlcuding the menu button on the SGS3.

Without it they might have succeeded.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Yes without developers support it is not ideal. However, think of this way mate, you have got the better phone, even better than galaxy s3 IMO, you made the right choice.
[HTC One S] o0stryxs0o:
Yeah.... I'm really disappointed in the Galaxy S3 I'm really happy with my One S. Aestetically pleasing... Powerful.... Worked out of the box. NFC I don't think is worth it and the "wireless charging" is a dock.... Soooooo Yeah I'm pretty much set over here. I can't believe Samsung is still making phones out of plastic.
[HTC One S] h.han:
So the topic of this thread can be changed to "hora!! Galaxy S3 out! No need to do anything!":) IMO
[HTC One S] Someone09:
Nice one. :)
[HTC One S] jodue:
i didn't imagine that they would manage to make a design that is actually uglier than the gs/gs2 but they pulled it off ... i am so glad that i did not wait for the gs3, was tempted to but now ... no thank you ;)
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
I wouldn't call the S3 ugly, indeed for a Sasmsung plastic device it's quite nice due to the "metal effect" (or how shall I call it?) on the blue one. But still the One X looks better to me and... it's frickin huge! I have quite large hands and still cannot understand how those Asians (who in average should have smaller hands than me) tend to build those screens larger and larger. It's obviously all about the screen: more content! Nobody is thinking about the usability.

Regarding the hardware: No reason to regret a One S, since the SGS3 really is similar to the One X and people already decided for design and usablity instead of screen size. NFC would be a nice to have, but no must have IMO. Wireless charging? lol? There 's still a dock neccessary. Potential for the future, but this way.. naah. CPU: well just like some others mentioned, I would not like to be the beta tester for the quads. S4 is lightning fast and has reasonable power mangement.. 28nm!

Regarding the software: Well I like the idea behind those "fancy" features and I'm quite sure that I would love to have some of them. But yet, I cannot tell how good they're working. But knows what devs will be able to port over to the One S. Since the device just started in US, there will be lots more devs soon. Cam: lol, I'm happy that Samsung did not reach the usability of the new HTC cams nearly. To make a burst shot, you have to open the menu and choose another mode for the cam first, close menu and THEN you're ready to shoot the moment that just passed in the meantime :D

For now I have only to worry about the iPhone 5. I can well imagine Apple to design a device with 4-4.3" display (since Apple is really bothering about usability this would be the max) that still is smaller und even (crazy) slimmer as the One S. :p
[HTC One S] icecicle:
Yea I'm still in my remorse period too but I love this one s ..like legitly I don't remember the last phone I had that didn't feel like cheap plastic it coulda been like my Sony ericson w800i back in like 2005 loll
[HTC One S] Someone09:
computerbase did a couple of benchmarks on the One S, One X, SGS3 and Galaxy Note.

Source (in german): http://www.computerbase.de/news/2012-05/erste-benchmarks-des-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/

Don´t get me wrong, I still think bechmarks mean ***. But it´s nice to see how our little One S crashes all the beasts. ;)

Like David vs Goliath. Or David vs Goliath X and Goliath S3. ;)
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
Nice results. The s3 looks nice, but way too big for my liking

Having seen and read a bit more about the s3 I would say that there are some nice features, like removable battery, bigger battery, also the rear cover although plastic if scratched you throw it away and get a new one and the phone is as good as new!

I think if Samsung had an equivalent to the one S at 4.3inches,lightweight with the above features I would easily dump mine.

However, I think the one S is still faster on a few things and the battery is working well.

[HTC One S] vasp3690:
To quote myself, I have changedy mind and after a lot of thought I will defect to Samsung s3. The reasons are the following:

1) battery: although I can go through a day with the one S, I cannot help but think that for anything else, such as weekend holiday, excursions, anything more than a day, I have to walk around with a charger or a mobile power bank and that is like having a second phone on you.

2) going from a desire to the one S is a sense of a bigger phone, but I rarely find myself using a phone with one hand anyway to type or take a photo etc. So the s3 shouldn't be that bigger anyway. On te other hand the Mao chipping and necessity of using a case makes the phone slightly wider. Putiing it down to a mock size of the s3 is pretty much the same!

3) plastic feel of the s3? Where? Next to the silicone case of my one S? Big difference....+ if the s3 scratches its plastic back cover, I'll easily replace it with a new one.

4) features wise, the s3 is better

5) I plan to get the Samsung galaxy note for my wife in the future so nice to have both equipment from the same company.

6) I'd rather carry an extra battery in my pocket rather than a mobile charger and not worry about batteries going flat...

7) biggest reason though is that I can never get used to fixing HTC's poor quality myself in order to justify a premium quality phone. It just doesn't work.

For those reasons my friends, I'm going to be out of HTC. My preorder on amazon is placed and my return for refund labels are printed.

[HTC One S] ChrisDang:
I am by no means refuting your decisions but instead basing my own preference off of these arguments, cause they are good ones!

Battery: I am currently using a weakling sidekick 4g. I hate it as it freezes, lags and whatever else but that's besides the point. I carry a battery with it because as we all know, smartphones are battery drainers, especially when sometimes we like to play games or watch videos/movies etc. I wish that the battery was removable but these days, a USB port (and also USB/ac adapter) is becoming easier to find. I also carry around my backpack with me almost everywhere anyway, so I can charge my phone if completely necessary, or charge my phone in the car.

Screen/phone size: I always use my phone with one hand, unless texting. I have the sidekick 4g, so two hands are required to use it in landscape mode with the physical keyboard. I am going to have to get used to the onscreen keyboard with either the gs3 or one s. However, I am not a big fan of the bigger screen on the gs3. The one s is the largest I'd want my phone to get before it gets too big to be comfortable holding around (says me, holding the brick of a sidekick) and the physical beauty and form factor of the one s is stunning and feels nice to me. If the gs3 had an option of a smaller screen, I would definitely be more inclined to go toward gs3. I haven't felt the gs3 or seen it in person, so I wouldn't know what feels better, I just know I really like the feel of the one s.

I don't find the features on the gs3 anything amazing. I don't think I'd use s-voice, as no one uses siri that I know. I don't know if it was just me, but I think the gs3 was a huge flop. I'm not a sales predictor by any means, but there's not anything interesting and new that I was thinking might come out.

As for your number 7...I'm not sure what you mean by that. I've had one HTC phone before, the G1, and it worked fine. Far from a premium phone, though.

In addition, the trade in offer is still going on now at T-Mobile. The GS3 isn't out yet. I'm trading in my old iphone 3g and g1 and getting $300 off of my next few phone bills, almost paying for my phones. This is the no-brainer part of my big debate to choose the One S over the GS3.
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
For number 7 all you have to do is look at the thread of MAO chipping problems and you will understand. I am on the 3d handset already and it's chipping around te USB. If I have to always use a case for my phone then it negates the nice premium feel it offers. Hence my option of going to a different company.

Older phones did have their problems. Eveny desire z was laggy too often, but I expect glitches here and there. What I cannot abide is the reluctance of acceptance from HTC of possible poor quality, and if I don't return this phone back to them, I won't be able to resell this one for a decent price in the future.

sent with HTC1S
[HTC One S] ChrisDang:
I see. Thanks. I live in the US though so I'll be getting the non micro arc oxidized one, which shouldn't chip then. Oh, and that's another "downside" I guess. I like the black and red color theme of the international version, I'm not a big fan of that color of blue! (looks almost girly? - but i'll pull it off, haha)
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
S3 is just another plastic horrible feeling phone.

Hope they don't make another fail series like the S2

1 good phone out of 7.
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
Fail in what way? After reading through the various forums you realise that all new electronics could have small glitches. Software issues that are fixed with an update, I don't mind.

Case problems that you cannot fix and are not finding a solution from the maker either is plain ignorance for the consumer.

Plastic or not, built quality is there without squeaks and at the end of the day you can simply replace that part from home. While on HTC you have the 10 working days to check and repair your phone in case you need to.

If I can get away with doing something on my own, I'd like to have that choice.

If battery and built quality was better on the one S I would have kept it.

sent with HTC1S
[HTC One S] h.han:
Well, this is always a debate between users cos no phone is perfect and our preference varies.

If you decided to leave one s, what a pity. I have seen you from the early days of one s and you are a nice person helping lots of people here. So very good luck to you and your new g3. I am pretty sure it well be awesome just like our one s.

I will stick to one s cos I like sense and actually prefer a case cos it adds that little taste to the phone. Function wise, no complaint at all, great device and the grey version does not chip.
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
Many thanks.

If I also liked the grey I possibly would have stayed on the one S. But...

I haven't found one single solid link to anything that points to a CDMA version of the Note. Can someone please prove me wrong? And will people please stop bringing it up in discussions of the GS3? Its just an oversized GS2 anyway.

[HTC ChaCha] llenp:
Before I go further, I'm not selling anything. I was just trying to see if there would be any HTC ChaCha users out there interested in a complete black housing for their phone.

It seems that the only solution for US Version phones would be to swap out the parts for a black European version.

So that being said, I'm trying to contact a manufacturer who claims to manufacturer the parts. I just want to know if anyone on XDA would be interested just so I could guestimate and see if it would be worth it or not.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
If it was good quality i'd be interested but the problem is, it's never as good as original and the fitting is never as good.

Many phones I've changed (well had them changed by nimble fingered types in UK and asia) and it's just not as good as it was....

I've always regretted doing it!

sent usin' tapatalk innit.
[HTC ChaCha] llenp:
I completely agree! I once bought a complete housing for a BB curve only to find out it was painted with cheap paint, and on the most fragile plastic. I ended up doing more damage to my phone.

Anyways, I will definitely make sure its not cheap. My main concern is if it fits tightly and is solid. I'll let you guys know if I have any leads.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Ok, keep me posted please!

[HTC ChaCha] r2b2:
I'd be interested if the price was right, and it could be shipped to the UK.
[HTC ChaCha] user_unavailable:
Advice?

Im thinking about painting it black, cause its almost impossible to find any black housing for my white chacha...

What paint shall I use, or do you have any suggestions?

:confused:

Thanks

BTW Im new here
[HTC ChaCha] llenp:
I couldnt find a legit place to get parts. So i too have been thinking about coloring my case myself. You should probably use an acrylic spray paint like montana or ironlak. But i also have been thinking about using an old method for dying skateboard wheels. Basically you get some rit dye and warm water and dye the plastic for an hour or so. It seems like the white plastic will retain color.
