I'm switching from an s2 to the Htc one, wasn't sold on the s4 at all.

I'll probably keep the htc one unless Google announce a new nexus at I/O this year... then I'll sell it and buy the new nexus if it meets my requirements. :p
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Yea i know, same here m8, i've got a gameklip for my s3 which is was going to melt into shape for the One, it's possible that may change in the future but out of the box, i'm afraid it's not happening.

Saying that i was unable to check on whether the s4 would run six axis as i wasn't able to root it (lol not my phone) if it turns out that the S4 doesn't have it then my decision just got easier.

If you like the One X then youre going to fall in love with the One, it's everything the One X as but with twice as much horse power and looks infinitely better.
[One (M7) General] schrickm5:
Yes, exactly my sentiment also, It was a good phone, but I never really got excited about using it, I thought it was fun to flash for a while though.....errr ROMs/Kernels that is......
[One (M7) General] lensgrabber:
Me too (d2att unlocked). Still trying to decide if I will sell the S3 or keep it as a backup. I'll probably end up selling it and all the extra batteries and crap I bought for it. My selling points for the One are design, 64gb on board, front speakers!, a new UI to play with. I just wished it had photosphere.

The S3 has been a outstanding phone but it's time to move on.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
Photosphere is a 4.2.2 feature only and on top of that reserved for nexus devices only. So HTC or Samsung will need to make their own equivalent of photosphere.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Long time no see mate remember you from the Galaxy S2 days :)
[One (M7) General] Spewy1:
I ditched my S3 for the One two weeks ago and I have not looked back. The ONE is amazing. The Android experience I have been waiting for for so long. LAG FREE! it is a joy to use. I love the camera, I get better pictures in a bigger range of situations than any previous phones. The speakers are awesome!

The only thing I miss is eye candy, the ui is pretty flat. To be fair, each to his own and I know a lot of people don't like animations but I love them. Sense 3 was great for me! Not a huge problem though because when I get bored I will load another launcher. Next launcher is beautiful and may become my daily launcher but I am sticking with sense 5 a little longer yet.

If HTC can crack their marketing then the One will become a huge phone. The reviewers love it but come on HTC get the ad campaign going to bring this awesome device to the general public. With the right pitch this could The iPhone killer we have waited so long for.
[One (M7) General] ntrinsik:
Coming from an S2.. Hoping it'll be an amazing leap. Almost decided to wait for the next gen, but the Anandtech review of the One won me over.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
I am making the switch from galaxy note 2 which is best phone ever so far. Hope HTC one is better. Battery life on note 2 is very good. I will see can't wait for the one to arrive.
[One (M7) General] john291:
The only thing were gonne miss is the good photo camera of the galaxy s3....

For the rest the htc one wins....
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
Well I'm coming from and iPhone 4s. Sold that on ebay and now I'm using my backup galaxy s1 phone o.O
[One (M7) General] ratykat:
I work for a well known retailer in the UK, and praised the s3 endlessly. I picked mine up on release day, before I worked at said retailer. Loved it up until 2 days ago when we had 2 HTC ones delivered. Traded my phone in on the spot and posting this from one of those ones. The moment I held it, it just felt right.

I had been so excited about the s4 as well, but for me, the nicer design and exclusivity (ive not met anyone else with one yet) won it for me.
[One (M7) General] willow09:
Loved my GS3

I've come from a GS3 too, I wasn't too bothered before about build quality as I thought the UI and features outweighed the need for premuim materials but then the paint started to flake off the bezel of my GS3 (bad times). I have owned all the top selling mobiles for the past 10 years and I have to say that the HTC One is the best phone I have ever, EVER owned.

Compared to the GS3 is blows it out of the water in every way (even camera) and it blows the iphone premium build quality out of the water too. And OMG this thing is fast. HTC really need to promote this, I havent seen one ad on TV. This would be their saving grace if they got the marketing right, I really want them to do well from this, they have made an amazing phone.

Now I just need to learn how to flash a custom ROM on a HTC phone (which i'm guessing isnt too difficult)

If anyone is thinking of making to switch or buying this phone..... DO IT NOW.
[One (M7) General] morpheus9394:
I am another S3 to HTC One convert. Not using my HTC fully yet as I am still waiting for it to be SIM unlocked but I am hugely impressed with it. It is definitely the best phone I have ever had. Build quality is outstanding, the front speaker sound incredible and speed of the phone is amazing. SUPER smooth and zero lag.

Can't wait to make the switch to it fully.
[One (M7) General] atomiX_X:
Add me to the list. Moving from S3 to the One. Build quality, front facing speakers and the screen are the main reasons for the switch. S3 is a great phone but wasn't a fan of the plastic-y feel.

Only thing I'll miss is the super bright RGB LED. Really useful in combination with Light Flow.
[One (M7) General] peachlai:
I've just read a post in a Taiwanese forum (called mobile 01) shows how good hTC One looks right besides iMac and iPad!

Cannot imagine if it was S3 or S4 sitting side by side with Apple products. One just feels so right!

[One (M7) General] apple002:
I think it is a worthwhile upgrade. S3 is a great update from S2. But as me, i will change a brand for an new experience.Maybe i will choose HTC one, or iPhone5.
[One (M7) General] drspikes:
It's nice to have a pleasant conversation about this without some kind of fan war starting. Some of the explanation may be that the Samsungites are arguing among themselves about whether an SIV with exonys or the S600 is better! (This is not posted to cause any problems, just an observation, meant in good faith)
[One (M7) General] xstayxposix:
I am coming from the Galaxy S3, ordered the Dev. Edition of the HTC One earlier today. :good:
[One (M7) General] aspot72:
Well... have the One. If S3 has the build material and quality of One would keep the S3. It has more features (and will have even more with next update).

But tbh, the One is awesome device. You won't regret it.
[One (M7) General] t4ure4n:
I am comming from from Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3.

For me samsung phones were good because theu could be easily rooted and availability of very good AOKP based ROMS like RootBox...

But S4 is a different story overly hyped hardware, Screen too big... LOT OF BLOATWARE.

It will be intersting to see how my gamble to go for HTC ONE turns out.
[One (M7) General] kirE_2o1o:
Received mine yesterday, so only a short "review":

Flashed stock rom on my "old" S3 for selling it and, compared with the One, there are noticeable lags, especially in the Touchwiz UI.

I always used to disable animations in developer settings to make it more fluid but there is no need for on the one.

CM 10.1 + DSP puts out a better sound than beats audio on the Stock Firmware, although PurexAudio is great and makes it way better, it's still not the sound i liked so much (mainly hearing Rap/Hip-Hop)

The Camera is quite good, the images are smaller than the ones from S3, but they are good enough for a smartphone, I think. It integrates some fancy filters which you often only get with some paid apps.

The IR-Remote feature is really nice and works like a charm, recognized Phillips TVs and Technisat receiver out of the box, but Telestar receiver had to be configured manually (which was not dificult and took less than 10 minutes)

BlinkFeed is.. okay... I don't use/need it much, but it's not that bad.

The haptic is great,but it's a little strange that the back button is on the left. In addition you have to be more precise when using the buittons than on the S3.

In conclusion i would say it's worth the change... If you can afford it :P
[One (M7) General] inoplanet:
I've got the One now and had S3 from the launch.

HTC One is the best phone I've seen, and absolutely the best phone I've posessed. I love this phone, although there are the known lack of SD card (i use otg now,it's ok) or some samsung tricks that are missing.

My opinion: buy this phone over any other. Not just the S3,which i don't miss for a second.
[One (M7) General] bungadudu:
I'm coming from the S3 .

... but going to the S4.

HTC One is impressive, but personally don't think HTC will survive this year... so no point in buying any more of its products.

RIP HTC
[One (M7) General] madpavel:
bungadudu: I think HTC will survive easily considering that largest shareholder in HTC is richest Taiwan women and her father is richest Taiwan man.

I'm switching from an S2 to the HTC One. S3 was ugly for me and since the S4 is basically the same I am comming back to HTC.
[One (M7) General] HotInEER:
I currently have the S3 and before that the S2. I haven't had a HTC phone since my Evo 4G which I loved. I'm looking forward to giving them another chance. Mine should be in on Friday at Best Buy so I can't wait. I have 3 cases ordered and feel like a little kid a week out from Christmas, LOL. At least on Tuesday I will have Injustice: Gods Among Us to keep my busy till the phone is in.

I figured if by some chance I'm not in love with the phone, which I don't think is possible, I can return and get the S4. They should be installing the Samsung store in my local Best Buy later this week. From talking with 2 reps at Best Buy he said they have not seen this many pre-orders for a phone in a long time and the phone calls and foot traffic has been outstanding for HTC.

When you first enter my Best Buy they have a display of 2 Silver, and 1 Black model on display. Sexy phones.

[One (M7) General] spacedog1973:
I hope you guys are happy with your purchases but i sense a little overblown enthusiasm and an absence of realism. No phone is perfect but you'd never realise that reading this thread. Sort of reminds me a little of a crackberry thread here. Be happy with your phones but understand there are going to be issues with key lime pie when it comes and the inevitable 'htc one plus' variant or whatever htc will shortly bring out to overcome the failings that no one seems to be pointing out here.

For me I have no use for boom sound speakers on a phone. The few times I've heard music from a mobile are the few times I've wanted to punch people in public:eek:

On screen buttons taking up screen real estate again is grating to me. And for me android was always about function over form so I've never been swayed by a shiny phone but rather tech inside.

Just going back to those onscreen buttons... Wtf is that about? That the phone is the 'sameish' size as an s4 when holding it in the hand, yet the visible usuable Screen space is what? Shrinking thats what. Just seems pointlessly bulky to me. Youve got a huge bezel plus onscreen buttons? And i thought the iphone was bad.. Essentially nowadays the touch screen mobile is a shell around a screen. The htc one shell is far too big for the screen real estate offered.

Ill stop now before i sound too much like a fanboy. However for me a bit of aluminium is not going to get me overlooking those issues.. and more. Im not a magpie :)
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Your post is confusing me because the HTC One does not have on screen buttons... before posting rubbish like this do a little bit of research first.
[One (M7) General] spacedog1973:
Thanks for the predictable rudeness. No matter. I should have been more accurate, the capacitive buttons appear to be a part of the screen by design. You have bezel then buttons as part of the glass of the screen. I have a problem with that. Why not buttons part of the bezel? And are you telling me you didnt understand that? Is it not understood how this compromises screen real estate or am i contributing to more confusion
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
There is zero compromise with the screen space as you get 100% of the 4.7 screen taken up with the screen and please do not turn this thread into a comparison as it will get shut down by the moderators.

Also if you have such a problem with the design of the HTC One why are you posting here in the first place?
[One (M7) General] spacedog1973:
Ah. A troll. How original. This is a thread for discussion. Its so easy and yet so infantile to throw the word troll around. Im not actually trolling i have legitimate concerns as the htc one is a contending top phone of 2013.

So i come to a thread here to highlight my concerns and thoughts and here you are with rudeness. Thats trolling really.

Im asking people who care to respond. Owners who have the phone or are considering it whether my concerns are shared.

You have neither answered directly any of my points. Are they irrelevant trolling points? A boom sound is really a feature that is a buying point for some and the speaker and then buttons as part of the screen (appearing) is again a non issues?

If not an htc one thread to discuss where do i take it? Who is trolling who. Is it because i have few post you assume i am a troll? really that simplistic eh

BIG EDIT. i see you edited and answered my question. Its not a comparison thread and let the mods do as they wish no need to anticipate them. But thanks at leaat for attempting a non troll answer

Due to you attitude id rather a more objective person answer since you have a vested insterest it seems slightly unhealthy in the phone.

Some background. Im buying for a friend a new top smartphone. I am considering this amongst other phones. No phone exisits in a vacum.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Your original post came across as an ill informed fanboy, troll, whatever anyway if you wish for your questions to be answered.

1. Boomsound is very impressive and that is coming from someone who really doesn't care about audio quality (call quality far more important)

2. Irrespective of the buttons on bezel or off the bezel you are STILL getting 100% of the screen unlike the Z or Nexus 4

3. The bezel is not huge granted it's not as slim as the bezels on the Galaxy S4 but it ain't exactly big either.

Policing forums is the job of a mod. It never works out well when users try it. I hope you nip that in the bud. My post history and join time is evidence of non trolling. And yes this thread cannot be automatically trusted when critisim is not allowed. Ive bought more than one phone due to fanboy blinkers. 2 years is a long time with a crappy phone.

Boomsound has bass? And how sound at max volume? Is it a viable alternative to a laptop audio. Do people really use it? In real world use.

How much screen real estate does the phone actually have in measurement. Anyone know? Excluding buttons.

Does the bezel and button combination feel right in comparison with hardware buttons. Im looking for objective views here be honest please. Coming from other phones

What im really looking for is honest honest thought overall. Not from fanboys but people who have the phone and like it for what it is faults and all.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:

Played gangnam style on my phone yesterday as my wife wanted to hear the speakers and there is a fair amount of bass considering the size of the speakers.

The sound does not distort in my testing and you have to hear it to believe it.

As for people using it I guess they do and it honestly adds a new dimension to youtube video's.

The screen is 4.7" across excluding the buttons (measured it just now)

I have used phones with physical buttons, on screen buttons and combinations of the two and the only gripe is it can be quite easy to miss tapping the button as you need to be pretty accurate where you press.

Hello,

I was trying to change the email notification sound on my HTC Desire S email client, but I'm not able to do that.

If I go to notification settings, I can see three entries:

e-mail notifications (ON)

notification sound (ON)

notification vibration (OFF)

But I don't see how to change the notification sound there.

If I go to System Settings and then to Audio settings, if I tap on notification sound, I see I am already using the notification I want, but this setting is not detected by the email client from HTC.

What's the setting to be modified then?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
ok so i purchased my first htc one as a sim free device from a phones4u store in the uk. On opening the box when i got home i found that the phone had been used already and also suffered from poor build issues, phoned the store up and they agreed to get another one sent to my local store as no other stores in the area seemed to have them.

Second device arrived all sealed which was great and did not seem to suffer any build/gap issues but after a few days it has now developed an issue with static sound through the ear piece when on calls and also has the issue of intermittent back and home keys having a lack of sensitivity and also on ocassions the buttons fail to illuminate....so having had this one for around 6 days i got back in touch with phones4u to arrange another exchange.

They have now told me that they no longer have any stock of the handset and do not know at this point when they might get any and so have either offered me a full refund or exchange for another handset of same value etc.

Can they really not have any stock? or are they now not releasing anymore untill the issues have been resolved?

Bit in a quandry as to what to do as they have given me 7 days to decide what i want to do. Really would like to keep the htc one as nothing else out there takes my fancy (tried xperia z and the z10) but even if i take the refund there nowhere else to get another one as it seems to be the same issue eveyrwhere with stock (carphone warehouse stores etc).

What are the chances of htc releasing a software update for the proximity sensor issue (which is what i believe i have) quite soon? Should i just hang onto the one i have (build quality seems ok) or get out now and get my money back while i can?

Mine is version HT339W
