Fast charge is there but it's disabled by default. As kernel development gets going surely this will be enabled like it was on the DNA/Butterfly.
[One (M7) General] DeSaint2:
Hopefully a good kernel dev will be able to speed it up at list a little bit. I don't think it would be wiser to enable it full throttle but maybe get it down to 2-2 1/2 hours(last I read full fast charge can charge that baby in like 1 1/2 hours)

I just got ok:ed for work phone upgrade. Apparently I get to choose between the One and samsung s4. Tough decision. Maybe you guys can give a little advice (clean from fanboyism)?

[One (M7) General] jmitr:
Well, I had to look at your posting history before answering this!

You're an HTC user asking for an opinion on an HTC One subforum, what phone do you think will be recommended!

In all seriousness, as a former Desire user myself my main beef was storage. The One has 32 gb base storage, and an unpartioned drive. Low memory warnings will be a thing if the past. You can't expand it, big deal, I have never had an SD card larger than 32gb in any phone.

What is more important to you? Build quality? Camera? Sense? You mentioned work phone, we all know HTC's mail app is second to none, hands down. If your work has active sync exchange, the One is for you.

What are your feelings on LCD3 vrs samoled? Is a removable battery important to you?

The S4 will not be a bad phone, but.....

1. Cost

The S4 costs more, here in Canada the confirmed Telus no contract price is $700 for a 16gb S4, and $650 for a 32gb One

2. Touchwiz vrs Sense

Your choice.....what do you prefer?

Personally, I'd go for the One, but you'll find that answer allot here!:)
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
It's not only a matter of OS, the One vs sgs4 is Aluminum vs plastic ;)

The day samsung begin to chose good design and materials then I can consider buying from them
[One (M7) General] huxley309:
Trouble is phone comparisons aren't allowed as such, throw in an element of fanboyism, it's obvious where it'll head.

I love my one, but I'll say have a play with with both if you can.
[One (M7) General] rkial:
The plastic comment is used way too often.

Plastic phones dont always look bad.. The One X is plastic too.. and I really like the way it looks. Nokia use the plastic pretty well too.

I thing its a combination of their design and the the hyper glaze finish that makes the Samsung phones look as bad as they do.

Reflections on plastic arent accurate.. so why make it reflective? Every time I turned the blue S3 around, the light would bounce off it and the reflection looked awful

Back on the HTC One.. still no stock in India.. Is there a delay in production or are they just prioritizing other markets?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Be careful guys if the mods spot phone comparison comments they might close this thread down and back on topic did you guys see the news below?

http://llabtoofer.com/2013/04/17/last-news-about-sense-5-15/

I am wondering if they are going to use Sense 5+ 5.1 or whatever it will be for KLP?
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
I just hope we can disable blinkfeed in sense 5+,it's useless for me as it abuses from our (Lebanese) expensive limited plans and slow down the UI
[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
I am worried by this...." Android 4.2.2 that will appear in next few months will have Sense 5.0 as base" I seriously hope that we don't have to wait until July for 4.2.2, mainly for the updated Qualcomm drivers
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Hopefully not as even though I do not game I have heard the drivers are much better in 4.2.2
[One (M7) General] -A-P-M-:
This is my main concern about HTC One. I looks much better than SGS4, specs are similar , so HTC One would be an easy choice for me. But I don't trust them about software support - they said HTC One will get better sw support, but it already launched with dated Android version and no one knows when 4.2.2 update will be available. Next month Google will announce Android 5.0, but question is when HTC One will get it. That is reason why I didn't ordered HTC One yet...
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Wishful thinking mate I don't think there will ever be a way to disable it and keep it stock/non-rooted
[One (M7) General] mahay_love:
Well, they said this is their only flagship this year so if they don't focus on supporting it then what will they support? Also, 4.2.2 had many issues initially.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I am sure this phone will be very well supported just a case now of seeing if HTC go with KLP or the JB route over the coming months.
[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
On Twitter, a well-known HTC type said he was running an alpha build of 4.2.2 on his One. If we're still at alpha, a release candidate is probably a couple of months aware, especially as the phone carriers need to certify any update, which is always fun:rolleyes:

Now to be fair to HTC, the GS3 took over 5 months to get updated from ICS to JB. HTC were expecting to hard launch in Feb, if they knew in advance that would actually go live towards April, they probably have targeted launching with 4.2.2 from the beginning.

Android have created a Platform Developer’s Kit that is supposed to give manufactures access to new Android versions, a couple of months ahead of launch, in order to provide faster updates. I bet that HTC have an early copy of Android 5.0 or whatever it's called, running in a dungeon somewhere, so they may surprise us.
[One (M7) General] goulies:
That's what I usually end up doing. Switching back and forth manually.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
sorry mate i have done tons of experimentations

the iPhone 5 auto enhances by default, it fixes the brightness and contrast and still you have one more option of auto enhance in the gallery

the One X doesn't agressively crop the brightness levels by default this why you need auto enhance in low light

the only difference between the algorithm of the two is better color correction on the iPhone and noise cancellation, so on the One X you have noiser photo but more details on the iPhone its more smudgy and less noisy

its all here
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes but it will leak earlier, the firmware is undergoing Alpha/beta right now according to Shen Ye
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
There are also plenty of widgets/apps on the Play store that cut down on the number of taps needed to switch between 2G and 3G if you need to do it frequently. I use one called 2G-3G OnOff, but there are many others.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
you can disable it by removing all the accounts, in other words you will still have a non functional blinkfeed page
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes updates will be a little late but never forget how aggressive HTC was in updating their One X (Still does)

plus thanks to here we can still get early access, for example mike leaked the 3.19 base for the One X which is still not out same for 1.29 on the One

i personally within the first and half year lifespan have zero worries with HTC and updates, they have quadrupled my confidence in them with the One X software path

[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
That's just eww!

HTC can produce fantastic phones style wise and then the ugliest phones the next...
[One (M7) General] Diamondback:
Unfortunately they fail to actually show the original images of the HTC One (they are either up- or down scaled)...

Without those pictures the comparision is 100% worthless because they don't provide any information on the software and settings used to scale the images.

*sigh*...

The really interesting question here would be whether HTC still uses way too much sharpening in the default camera settings...

Conclusion: Image comparision without providing unaltered images = worthless!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
How is this biased we are talking and praising every single feature on the one and there is one area of concern and you guys can not handle 1% of critic and who said it is reason not to buy? But for those who cares about gaming they have every right to be concerned jeez
[One (M7) General] strip419:
if am right the on screen 1080p bench was higher..so if development is devise specific I think we won't have an issue....only thing is, when u are buying a phone like this you expect to use it over two yrs before thinking of a new phone. I am a heavy gamer (pc,phone,console) and am scared in a year i will be needing a new phone, buh hey the phone's beauty got me hypnotized, I think i can afford the ZTE phone coming with tegra 4. Then I keep the ONE for sum gal attention :D
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
What the hell scaling up plus generous sharpening would destroy an image

Edit: also stupidly he misses a big important fact about the new camera biggest advantage which is much wider dynamic range than competitors

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Not saying that at all man. Just saying the argument that the gpu is a main reason the iPhone/apple succeeds is an inaccurate statement. They could have the gpu of the evo3d and still have the success they have today... Just saying their success isn't measured bc gpu and gaming...

I'm all for everyone and every niche having exactly what they want...
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Keep in minds T4 is also under concern since the only leaked GL bench was only 32fps lower than the One current score and lower than the s600 full 41fps potential, Nivida claimed the clocks were very low and end results ill score higher then iPad4 but I guess seeing is believing
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Thanks, my point about apple, when all the three main console makers are concerned about the apple effect it's saying something, apple been aggressively pushing on graphics speed and its reflecting in higher quality game, look at their AppStore home screen 80% of the apps highlighted are games, in my opinion it's one the main reasons for its appeal (kinda like a console)
[One (M7) General] germanojose:

[One (M7) General] sgt. slaughter:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Understood but see my point and back to part of your own too, if the % gamers is small then what apple does game wise means zilch in terms of their success...

When many ppl start leaving phones for other devices solely bc of a game then that point is very valid...
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Hey sgt by the way :) didn't you want an s800? If I'm not mistaken

Anyway I really think this result is not the final and besides faux123 already did great work in his app to control the clocks on the Adreno320 GPU
[One (M7) General] ShyamSasi:
I love One X but it was hard for users to work out of the box without root or tweaks mainly for the Games. I hope One can do that... I'm getting tired of all the hacking and tweaking ...
[One (M7) General] sgt. slaughter:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Yup I want the 800... Though that's mainly for me wanting a device that will last near top for a year's time... And the improvements in that SoC takes it to another level by far...

Another reason for me is Sprint/HTC skimming on the LTE bands included in Sprints version...missing 2 bands I want...

Ha guy said those lines on the back weren't the antennas but that they were part of their secret sauce to combat using all aluminum housing which typically kills rf performance...

Not gonna lie he seemed a lil out his realm when they asked him about if the screen was zero gap to digitizer or not as his response was just that they reduced gaps...

well design wise they were never as tasteful for the Chinese market (sadly)

i doubt this one will go global not in this design, it shares nothing with the One design language
[One (M7) General] beno619:
actually think it looks pretty nice apart from that area around the camera :P
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
Not much of an upgrade coming from a One S. Isn't it? Is snapdragon 400 better than S4 plus? Same with the adreno 305, is it that so much better than the 225? The only thing that i consider as an upgrade from the M4 is the 720p display, sense 5 and android 4.1.2..
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Hox is not plastic. Its polycarbonate.

HTC is slower then Samsung regarding software update but when it releases it , its much better optimised then what Samsung does. Take for example s3 vs Hox , after jb Hox litteraly raped s3 regarding everything. Especially overall speed.

Anyway if I were you I'd chose this way and consider like this which phone I want.

Build quality and design

Which screen tech I like more

Which software I like more

Do I need removable sd and battery

Do I want bunch of gimmicks or not.

Personally I care for design and quality , I like more slcd since its more natural then amoled. I also like the sense more and I don't care fir battery nor expendable storage , as far as camera goes I believe s4 will take better daylight photos but at night won't stand a chance.

Just my 2 cents.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yup A15 + phones = hardchip

Delayed Tegra 4 now aims at tablets
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
adreno 305 is inferior to 225 in terms of speed but better in terms of feature support (ES 3.0)

but you can say as fast as s4plus but with better power envelope
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
its plastic unibody poycarbonate with metal protecting for the screen ;)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
we've discussed this till death, the problem with S3 is not the plastic but that it's a filmsy construction, the plastic under the lacquered finish is actually tender soft plastic and there is not metal band protecting the screen, in other words as confirmed by many who as much as hit the phone, it is very fragile and the screen is always the first victim

some people complain of scuff on the black One, the finish on the SGS3 tears like paper if you place the phone with other objects

some of the other plastics and chrome plastic finish like the camera ring are an utter joke

the device is fast no one can deny this at least during its ICS day but in terms of build it is what it is

in terms of design, with exception of the ugly physical home button, i always thought the white sgs3 is pretty nice and fresh looking the blue one is super ugly though , whenever i see one i'm attracted to it

bottomline for its construction the S3 should have been priced much lower but Samsung being number one is asking for big profit margins
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
'one' as in a white SGS3, not a One as in HTC One?
[One (M7) General] Terminator19:
Samsung are much better than what they were in the past for support/updates but HTC is still better overall and have a better history with updates compared to Samsung and I think are going to be even better with the one as long as they keep to their word and don't release loads of devices, they might not get the updates out as quickly as Samsung for the flagship (they use to be quicker with their flagships though i.e. desire and 2.3 [not officially though] and sensation and ICS) but it isn't a HUGE difference in the time it takes for phones to get updates now (nexus devices still trash the OEM by like 6 months).

Many articles etc. that have shown HTC to be better in this area i.e.

http://readwrite.com/2011/01/14/data-shows-what-manufacturers-and-carriers-delay-android-updates

http://www.techhive.com/article/256...es_do_the_best_job_with_android_updates_.html

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/12/the-checkered-slow-history-of-android-handset-updates/

Reason HTC didn't go with 4.2 is because it was full of bugs, especially battery drain and plus it would have caused more delays so they stuck with 4.1.2 as it was stable and they could get it sorted out quicker. Supposedly the one X and S will be getting 4.2.2 with sense V5 around June, so the one will/should get that update before then. IMO 4.2.2 is a very minor update and not worth worrying about.

Also, might be worth considering that Samsung have added a ton more stuff to touchwiz now and imo bloated it with a lot of unnecessary stuff and moved further from stock android so updates could take longer where as HTC have moved closer to stock android and sense is less bloated/more minimal than touchwiz now.
[One (M7) General] myself11:
Anyone here knows the difference between DG H200 and DG H300 HTC Media Link? It seems since the launch of HTC One the DH300 model became available, but the specs between the 2 seem the same, according to handtec.co.uk. HTC's site doesn't specify the model.

One problem, 10 inch tablets are a dying breed, unless they're called iPad, hell even the iPad has seen its sales cannibalised by the iPad Mini. 7-ish inch Android tablets are going to sell well, but then the price is so low, profit is going to squeezed hard.

I can understand why HTC concentrated on a high-end phone which can retail for over a $500, rather than 10 inch tablet which sells for $500, but costs more than phone to produce, and ultimately will sell in low numbers compared to the iPad.

The real pressure is coming from low cost ultrabook style devices, powered by Intel's new Bay Trail SoC, or even AMD's Tremash. Now a 10 inch tablet is too big to fit in a pocket, so you need a bag, too heavy to hold for long periods, compared to a 7 to 8 inch tablet. If you're gonna carry a bag, then a 1KG touchscreen laptop is far more versatile.

"If you look at touch-enabled Intel based notebooks that are ultrathin and light using non-core processors, those prices are going to be down to as low as $200 probably"

Got an answer from HTC:

"The device's specifications change slightly from time to time to allow compatibility with our new devices and the software powering them to go more smoothly. They are also change slightly to keep in line with international markets and the rules govourning them. There is no big difference between the units from a customers perspective though."
[One (M7) General] beno619:
The thing is HTC are probably the only manufacturer who could produce a 10 incher that is desirable enough to compete with the iPad.

That makes it even more disappointing that they wont because of the reasons you outlined.

I doubt those bay trail tablets will be that cheap if we look at the price of netbook + cost of touch screen and digitizers 300 is more realistic.

Im more intrested in Temash as we should see similar GPU performance to HD 4000 for less than half the price of surface pro :)
