[AT&T HTC One (M7)] AutoUnion:
What a joke. Get real. If HTC is taking this long for us to get 4.2.2, imagine how long KLP is going to take. That will piss off "regular" people, whose Samsung friends will probably have KLP months before HTC. Stop making BS excuses.

4.2.2 with Sense5 brings a simple battery percentage meter. That IS important. No, I shouldn't have to use a 3rd party app for something HTC should have put in from the start.

If it makes you feel better inside, be my guest. I don't care. I actually own both devices. Rooted. Running their respective GE Roms. I find myself using the GS4 MUCH MORE.

On that note, until you grow up and stop name-calling, don't even bother replying to this message. Let the adults talk here.

I'm not the one making excuses for HTC's poor support over and over again. That is the definition of a fanboy.

There is no reason for me to argue with someone so delusional and out of touch with reality.

Good day.

Alright let's see how quickly Samsung releases 4.3 and how quickly htc releases 4.3 and then we'll talk.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tylerdurdin:
I No

LMFAO..... Out of touch with reality?.... Sure, that battery percentage was a real dilemma, way to make a grown up argument. Wahhhhhhh:( I want my Key Lime Pie update.... Lol.

And BTW HTC is not in charge of releasing updates to carrier branded handsets. AT&T is especially notorious for not releasing updates until months after they received them.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eallan:
So now were ignoring how the phones launched and arguing about the future. Cool. Makes sense. Fact is, HTC launched at the same time or later with an older version of android. Sorry if that's upsetting to you.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
That was the whole argument to begin with or weren't you paying attention, the argument was that HTC hasn't released an update (which in reality they have) and Samsung came with said update so we haven't seen an update yet. That's why I said when 4.3 comes out for both manufacturers we'll see which one arrives for the carrier version of both devices first. I was never defending the HTC's choice to have the One launch with 4.1.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
If any of us "really" cared about the latest firmware, most of us would've gotten a Nexus. To come to XDA and brag about firmware is fanboy-ish. Most of us are here for the ROMs and support.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Meh.

I've owned both multiple times (like right now) and I can say with complete certainty that the s4 will get 4.3 much sooner than the one will. You only need to look at the past to dictate the future, and means that other than nexus devices, Samsung is usually first.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
True indeed.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sammieboy:
LOL @ THE S4. you guys serious??? HTC ONE is the best hands down.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
Really dude??? If that right there does not sound like a fanboyish comment then I dont know what does. "Ill put my viper One x against anything you flash on the S4.....I wont even have to use my One..." What are you trying to prove?? Matter of fact You can have it, your viper One X has more features than the S4....and??? The One X didnt sell half what the S3 did how about that?? Thats just ridiculous bro. "Fanboys will be lead to the next big thing. .." so everyone that buys a samsung is a fanboy.... right.

About the android version number, I think its a fact that samsung does a better job at updating/launching their flagship with the latest version of android faster than HTC, thats a fact. Doesnt not mean that HTC sucks at it, doesnt not mean that HTC is bad.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
This thread just got worse. Too many people trolling here trying to convince themselves that they made the right purchase. There's no point to prove. Everyone knows it comes down to preference. Maybe this thread should be closed before all the name calling and eye poking begins.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tylerdurdin:
It seems you have a hard time trying to maintain your point. Let me clarify mine. Version numbers don't mean ****. I don't care about them period. If you are on XDA running custom Roms, the amount of features my phone has blows away any factory crap release. I was merely stating that I run an ICS rom that does everything JB does and then some.

Who cares how many One X's sold? What does that have to do with anything? We are talking about version numbers and features provided by said version number. It doesn't matter, the masses of cellphone users are not buying phones based on latest OS. I know a hundred people with android phones who don't even know what I am talking about when I mention it. Just because we are android fanatics doesn't mean everybody is. I can give two craps if the One ever sees KLP..... It does Nothing that my phone don't do now.... And if it does it will be cooked in, in no time. So save your fanboy rant for the noobs you love to harass.

BTW my AT&T One is running 422 just like every other One on XDA.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tylerdurdin:
Worship one OEM?..... Apparently you missed my sig, I buy HTC at this point because I support the Team that makes Viper....and the S3 and S3 and a half were not that stand out to me..... They were just phones good enough to run CM on because touch wiz flat out sux. That is all, no brand loyalty here.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
Ok. Be well my friend.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lemonz23:
Is it normal for me to make a decision based solely on the home button from the S4? But the thing is that I'll be purchasing the phone from Costco and the One is $99, thats an entire $100 LESS than the $199 pricetag on the S4. But the thing with the S4 is that it has that hardware home button and I can see it becoming a lot more practical to use it for custom roms.

But then again, I'm probably overthinking this issue lol. And it is more likely to be a decision based on my preference. Since the deal for the One is ending this month, I will most likely just pick that up and wait for a price drop on the S4 if I don't fall in love the One right away.

How do you guys compare the battery on both phones loaded with custom roms such as PAC or some other AOSP rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
Both phones will get you through the day no problem; I find the S4 to have a little bit better battery life.

I wouldn't base my purchase on the home button lol hahaha. But it is definitely nice to have it alongside a menu button. Both phones are awesome really. Make sure you don't base your decision from the comments of this thread and go with what you like/make more sense to you money wise ect...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
It's normal if it means something to you. Only use review (and expecially the XDA fan base) with a grain of salt. YOUR buying the phone, not them. Everyone has different opinions and what they want out of a phone.

Example:

Tylerdurdin says he "doesnt care what version of android hes on" (more or less because im too lazy to find he exact quote) but for me, its means a lot! It means continual OEM support, the latest and greatest and so on. Two totally different people wanting different things.

So if you really think the home button is something you dont want to give up, go with the S4. They are both great phones, so it might have to come down to something so minor like that. As for battery life, ive found the best for the One to be ARHD 12.1 with Faux kernel. I would get just over 4hrs of screen time in a 16 hour day. The S4 however, gets not only better battery life, but charges faster and has a removable battery (best being 4.2.2. Google edition ROM with audism kernel @ 5.25 hrs screen time in 18 hour day). With the 50% off coupon you get for registering you S4 on samsung.com, the Official spare battery kit is yours for $25 and totally worth it. Theres nothing like being able to just grab a second battery and go from 0 to 100 in 15 seconds.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Mr.Mischief:
I just purchased an HTC One because Touchwiz lags on the S4. I can't stand it. I will miss the camera though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eortizr:
Can you please elaborate more in the camera department? is there a big difference?, which one is better?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xcrazydx:
S4 camera is better.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eortizr:
Thanks, I'm been playing with the idea of trading my s4. But I do use the camera a lot
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Mr.Mischief:
It depends on how much of a photographer you are. I don't take many pictures, and even fewer important ones, so it wasn't a big deal to me.

The HTC doesn't have a bad camera, the S4's is just noticeable better.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xcrazydx:
The HTC camera is good, it's just not quite as good as the s4.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] brett_day:
After having the S4 for 3 weeks, I just made the switch to the One, and I could not be happier. Performance is better on the one compared to the S4. The S4 lags a lot (at least it did for me), the One operates flawlessly with zero lag. The screen is better on the One compared to the S4, and colors look more natural. The speakers on the One are second to none in the Smartphone world. The cameras, well the S4 is slight better, but only very slightly better overall, but the One takes much better pictures in low light situations. Both cameras are very good overall though. Battery life is comparable on both devices. but what wins it for me is the build quality of the One....it is far superior to the S4.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] alhadee12:
I have the One and thinking about to the Moto X orLG G2. Can someone gone me a little feedback.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Heisenberg420:
I'm between the one and the g2.. Leaning towards the one cuz I've heard the colors are more accurate.

Is there any place offering the 64gb for under 300? 300 it's complete bs. First no option for expandable storage then you charge $100 extra for 32gb more? Give me a break apple isn't even that greedy with their prices.

It's been out since April how is it the price hasn't dropped yet?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] alhadee12:
I've been in other threads and I am leaning towards the Moto X now.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] knightblaze:
Came from the sgs3 and loving my one so far. Digitizer on my s3 cracked somehow (was fine an hour prior) and att helped me out.

I was seriously considering the moto x but wasn't too impressed. Would have loved a more pure android experience but I can use my nexus for that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Xsi18:
Guys I'm confused would you help me for make decision please?

I want to choose best hardware for the future

S4 has got powervr sgx 544mp3. I heard this gpu is very bad and old technology.

One has got adreno 320 I dont know any information about this gpu very well. Is this gpu enough for future? (for 2 years..)

I think 2 gb ram enough for 2 years

snapdragon 600, exynos 5 octa etc..

I want to buy a phone but I use it to 2 years and I want hardware is enough for the future (2 years)

Which one should I prefer? (Or another device but I don't want bigger than 5" screen)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hellalucard:
Well I say go with the HTC One.

But think about it if you ask in the One forum the answer is most of the time the "One" if you ask in the S4 forum most of the time the answer is the "S4".

So take it with a grain of salt and get whatever looks good to you :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] calanizzle:
Easy answer:

S4: if you like bloatware and lag

One: if you like a real "premium" feel device
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Shinryuu:
I had a Moto X on ATT, and while it is a really nice phone, I found myself missing the HTC One that I had on Sprint. The active notification and voice controls were nice, but my biggest problem was with the size of the onboard memory being at 16Gb. My work didn't offer me the 32Gb model or the motomaker and 16Gb just wasn't enough for me so I ended up selling it and getting a One. Not sure if this helps any, but this was just my experience.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
Go to an AT&T store and try them both out yourself. Asking which one is better isn't useful and you will definitely get mixed answers from both forums. Get what you like, not what everyone else likes or has. So many people ask me why I didn't get the s4, I'm gonna say because I like it...Not because people in the forum said it was better.

All I have to say is ibtl. Seems like all comparison threads get closed now.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] RourkeSwift:
HTC One.

To be fair, I started my smartphone love with an HTC back when Android was in Cupcake and the brand formerly known as WinMo had a market share, so I suppose I have a bit of brand loyalty skewing my opinion; that said, I did spend about six months on a Moto Atrix and six months on an S2 Skyrocket, and neither were enough to make my pants warm. When I went in for an upgrade a few days ago, I left with an S4 then returned it a few days later. It just felt a little too derpy and a little too plastic for my tastes (no offense to those of you who own one and love it), plus the display just seemed kinda saturated and "off." Exchanged it for a One and couldn't be happier.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] qbanlinxx:
I had a S4 that I traded for my One, and don't miss it one bit. The only thing that is an improvement would be just a bit better battery life. No lag on the one and it definitely feels like a much better phone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] wevsspot:
I spent the better part of 3 weeks trying decide between the S4 and the One. Visited BB, the AT&T store, played with a S4 that a friend bought, and spent hours reading online reviews. The S4 seemed to be a fine device, but I've been using Samsung mobiles since the Blackjack and figured I'd give something else a try. Trust me, this was a very hard decision because every Samsung device I've used has been pretty fantastic. In the end I decided on the One, and have had it for a couple weeks now. I'm sold.

Battery life is good, everything works as it should, speaker volume is excellent and build quality is above reproach. I'm also pleased with the display quality.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mrdoug:
I think everyone who bought either of these phones went through this decision process. In the end, for me, it was the memory for app storage and the call quality which has got me to buy a One. (was so tired of owning phones which did everything great, except phone calls)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eosman:
I had tough time deciding. I ended up going with the One for these reasons:

1.) Better screen in terms of:

a.) Better auto brightness

b.) Better display in bright sunlight

2.) Better sound in terms of the speaker phone and multimedia

3.) 32gb of built in internal storage. Though the S4 has expandable storage its limited to almost half of the internal 16gb for apps. I know you can transfer apps to the SDcard but the performance isn't the same and its a pain in doing it in my opinion.

4.) Better build quality

5.) Better camera for low light which I do a lot of

6.) I love the ZOE camera feature a lot.

7.) I found the One to be snappier with Sense 5 over Touchwiz on the S4. I don't like using custom launchers either so I wasn't going to do that with the S4 to fix its UI lag.

8.) I also liked the look of Sense 5 over the Touchwiz. I came from an S2 Skyrocket and was getting a little tired of the Touchwiz look.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] galaxyjeff:
The HTC One is nice. I have both phones but I will say this. The Galaxy S4 is the better of the two because it is easier to use and higher quality overall. HTC has serious quality control issues and it's like they build phones for show only not for everyday use. The speakerphone on the One is lousy and it's easy to push things on the screen that you didn't mean to. Samsung never has all of the broken phones needing to be returned like HTC does and their customer service is for the pits. It winds up costing you money for something that's their fault and they should cover automatically. No wonder that company is continuously posting net losses financially.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NJGSII:
HTC posted it's first ever loss just recently so they have not "continuously" posted losses. Every company cranks out a couple bad units. You really didn't name a single constructive criticism about the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
You say that the s4 is a better phone but you don't say how its better only that HTC had quality control issues, I find the one to be every bit as easy to use as the s4 while being higher quality, if you could give me specific reasons maybe I'll believe you.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tylerdurdin:
ROM choice will always be the biggest factor, for phone selection to me. If Team Venom does not support the device, than neither do I.

In short, no Viper Rom, no consideration, regardless of specs.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] greystealth:
Just switched to a One from an S4. Omg what a relief! The S4 lag was horrible along with the lack of memory and lack of outdoor screen visibility. In my opinion, the One is better in so many ways. I actually feel like it's worth my money. I was starting to dislike Android because of my S4. My feelings have changed since switching to the One :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xcrazydx:
Yes, the one is a superior device. And I'm a Samsung fan, coming from multiple galaxy devices.

AT&T Betting on S4

I saw an article where Wall Street analysts were anticipating good sales of the HTC One, enough to recommend buying HTC stock. However, I was in an AT&T store April 25. They had the One and a couple of cases for it. The Samsung Galaxy S4 was not due in until April 27, but they already had 10 cases for the S4. Guess which one AT&T expects to sell the most of.

My current contract is not up until November. (I bought the HTC Vivid the day after it came out in November 2011.) By then the iPhone 5S/6 will be out. The prices of the HTC One, and maybe the S4, should have dropped. And, maybe, but not likely, the One will get an OS upgrade and some firmware enhancements.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
That's the Samsung marketing machine at work.

You really have to give Sammy credit as they sell gimmicks, renamed Google service and plastics to the masses..

I'm not so sure 4.2.2 is an upgrade other than it has a higher number..

Plenty of complaints about lag in 4.2.2
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gtg465x:
Had a play with an S4 at AT&T this morning. Yuck! Samsung used Gingerbread style tabs in most of their apps. They're ugly, at the top, and you can't swipe between tabs / screens like you can in apps on the One. You have to reach all the way up there to the top, which is crazy on a big screen like that! And I tried Air View and Smart Scroll in the browser. Worked for the most part, but when I wasn't using it, it was annoying as hell. The browser kept scrolling and doing things randomly when I tried to browse normally. You would have to turn that crap on every time you wanted to use it and then disable it afterwards. Overall, it was boring. Like a GS3 with a better screen and a couple extra party tricks. SO glad I went with the One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
I wasn't very impressed with it..

Maybe I would have been if I had not already been carrying the One for a week but after comparing the 2 phones I am now toughly convinced that I made the right decision to get the One.. :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] whitetiger_0603:
For me, the sound. Beats Audio through the dual front speakers sounds amazing. I can lay the phone down and listen to music..or use speaker phone, and nothing is muffled. It does feel more durable. The battery pull option..or lack there of, so far..no need. Then again, I haven't had a freeze and I am only rooted on stock. If you don't like the Sense launcher you can always get a custom one like Nova, Apex or Go. I personally use full Nova and it seems to work best with how this phone functions since it is lacking a menu button. The launcher's extra gesture assignments definitely help with that. For apps that don't have their own "touch" menu function built in, the black bar at the bottom does show to compensate. But it's not all apps. As for storage space, I love my music and photos..and I still have about 15 gigs out of my 32. But if you think you need more or aren't sure, go for the 64. You'd pay a pretty chunk anyhow to buy a physical 64 gig SD card to begin with so it evens out on that note. And the screen is great in low light. I actually noticed the brightness auto adjust depending on how I'm positioned and the lighting around me. I can actually see it dim and brighten.

Overall this phone is solid to me. And that's needed since I have a 1 year old that a tricky little guy.

My ONLY gripe, is the lack of notification toggles for WIfi and such. But that can also be customized and compensated for as well. Apparently that isn't an Android thing but a phone manufacturer "problem" The HTC One X+ is like that as well.

I personally think the S4 is a dressed up S3. Maybe an upgrade or 2 between them, but nothing special. And i didn't like the S3 when I played with my sister's phone for a bit.
