Please elaborate on the sound produced. Are you using headphones? What do you mean by sound? Call quality or music?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mendedtimbo:
I would say the call quality would be about the same. But listening to music and playing games is awesome on the one

I really just need to know if there is a significant difference in sound quality through headphones. :) Do you use headphones?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tyshemi:
Yes there is the HTC provides A way better sound than the gs4 !and the headphones the one comes with are nicer than gs4 as well
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chivamex10:
There's nothing beats audio does that power amp can't do. It's just an equalizer. Although I think the voltage on the 3.5 mm jack is amplified on the HTC One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mendedtimbo:
I plugged the gs4's headphones into the one and they don't come close to the sound that the One's headphones produce

Had no troubles getting a One back today. I don't know if the girl doing the return didn't notice or didn't care about the drop damage, but either way I'll take it.

She also applauded my "good decision" in going back to the HTC One over the S4 :D

Feels good to be home. Now I just need to get the damned thing unlocked again...

Were you within or past the 14 days of original purchase?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ovoxo.:
I had to test out the One for myself, so I ended up paying full retail for it today. I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would compared to my S4. Those speakers are RIDICULOUS; watching Netflix is going to be a treat on this thing. I can't seem to let go of the fact that my S4 has a 5" display (even though it's not as nice as the One). I still got about a week left in my return period on the Sammy. Decisions..decisions..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pokedroid:
I'm having a rough time with decision as well :( the battery life is killing me on the one and I'm seeing way more positive comments in the s4 area. The "lag" seems like a side by side issue, rather than a real world issue. The air gestures are way more useful than I originally thought, and I'm willing to bet that someone will take up the mantle on the development front. I don't know what to do!!!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] drakeymcmb:
I had both and the HTC one is the better choice of both and the lag on the s4 just take away from the experience
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Mrkrackie:
No the lag is very noticeable when you get it home and your playing with it. Texting had tremendous lag as did web browsing. Touchwiz is even more bloated than before. The s4 was using 1.2/1.7gb of ram which is pretty sad
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blackplague1347:
I was within the 14 days. I was just worried because I dropped the S4 and there was some cosmetic damage as a result.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sptrsn:
My S4 is the fastest phone I've ever seen. No lag everything is lickity split.

I played with the one in the store. It's a great phone. Just not for me.

I'm considering trading the S4 for the LG Optimus pro. 5.5 inch screen. it comes out on the last day of my trade in eligibility (14) days. I have to play with it in the store first to see.

I'm not here to flame or fan boy. Just conversation.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bdbx18:
My S4 is enroute back. I had a chance to play with a friends One and another at the store. Both times I preferred the One. It was snappier, screen is brighter and a tad sharper, felt better to hold and it just looks better. The S4 felt cheaper and looked way too much like my S3 but with a better screen.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ahm12:
Is there a way to confirm .. the headphone amp thing ?..I have 250ohm headphones..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tibere86:
How's reception performance (cellular and wifi) on the One vs S4? I have heard "rumors" that the One had reception issues. Anyone mind chiming in?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] spiderjerusalem:
I have had no issues but I will compare signal levels to my wife's note 2 when I get home
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
Anyone considering the lg Optimus g pro as an option?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sal1311:
I have both devices on me right now. I love the screen size on the gs4 but that's about all the points I can give it against the htc. The htc just performs so well and feels so nice. A true premium phone. However that being said att released an update yesterday that cured the galaxy of all the lag issues. So performance wise they are now really dead even. I have to make a decision by today which one I should keep as one of the two devices has to be returned today.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] donharden2002:
I'm sure you could also find a trade on cellphoneonline.com

Majority of the members there are the same people that used the market place on xda before it closed.

Just a thought.

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

I'm thinking about giving it a look but it's hard to get rid of the one due to its great speakers and audio quality thru a good set of headphones.

That's where my dilemma lays, I'm not happy with the camera on the one but I love everything else about it.

I got the sgs4 first and returned it within an hr. The vibration felt cheap on it and if I tapped on the back it felt so poorly made. Not sure if it was possibly just the unit I had but it just didn't feel good in hand.

I enjoyed the sgs3, as well as the note 2 but I think Sammy went backwards with the sgs4. I recently bought a note 8 and it's build quality seems far superior than the sgs4 in my opinion.

But I may go back to the sgs4 due to the camera, I take a lot of pics outside and the ones camera just doesn't do it for me.

I hate to give up a phone that is so great in every other area.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aafevo:
I'm so tempted to pick up a 64GB Stealth Black HTC One but I have a feeling I'm not going to like it due to battery life (I'm a heavy user, have three batteries for my S4 although I usually only get to the second battery under normal daily use) and apparently the one has horrible charge times. On my iPhone 5 it never bothered me with no removable battery because the phone charges so fast. Decisions :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eallan:
I'm loving the camera on the One!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
Yeah but the optimus g pro has a 5.5 inch screem, 32 gb with an expandable sd card and a 3,140 mili amp removable battery.

The only downside I can possible see is lack of dev support.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chivamex10:
Played with it yesterday. I prefer my note simply because I actually do use the s pen. Also the home button (or lack of) is way too thin. It's hard to press. It has an attractive price ($199) and a gorgeous screen. Also the tv remote feature is a nice touch. I'm sure you'd be happy with it if you're looking for a phablet.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] johngreener:
htc one is great .
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
I'm just concerned with the possible lack of dev support
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alihosny:
Saw the s4 yesterday at a local store, played with it a bit, simply amazing ,the screen to bezel ratio is mind boggling, it just feels more immersing, however, i ordered the one, a loud speakers is very important to me and from the reviews htc one design is better and is better quality materials (haven't seen it in person yet) but the s4 is beautiful nonetheless.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] iElvis:
Played with the One and S4 side-by-side at my local AT&T store. Jezzus but TouchWiz is overbearing. The S4 is noticeably laggy in comparison to the One. Sense 5 has its annoyances, but it's a lot smoother and less obtrusive.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] HeadCracc:
In terms of screen I work at ATT and did a side by side comparison both devices are equal in quality but the S4 is slightly brighter one still has an amazing screen... In my opinion design alone sells the one all day but most consumers like the "gimmicky" smart features like air gesture found in the S4 honestly both are great devices but the one's design wins me over... I'm so done with the plasticy Samsung designs
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
I like how I can see the One's screen in full daylight.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] a_ok2me:
That was the first thing I noticed. I found I could fit less text on the screen.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] :
HTC one. Had the s4 and lag. And also I'm overclocked so my benchmarks are higher then a normal clocked s4
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ovoxo.:
What are you clocked at and how hot is your phone getting?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] :
37 degrees celcius in a rubber/hard incipio case getting 31000 on quadrant at 1.7ghz lol so stock clocks.

Lol you can root it and make the HTC logo essentially a button.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] krips2003:
IMO, no matter which phone you pick, we as a consumer will always defend the one we purchased no matter what. After all money is involved in here. As some of the people mentioned that they played in the store to see how it performed and decided on that factor. Everyone uses gimmick features to attract consumers, but it depends on individual users whether they like those gimmick features or not. Not long ago people were complaining about OEM releasing their handsets without latest flavor of Android OS. But in these case it doesn't matter (we human change our perception quite fast :o ). If you know the answer of below questions then it'll be easy for you to decide which one to get, forget about which one is better. Because that's a never ending discussion, which starts on a good note, but end up in a flame war.

1. Do you want removable battery?

2. Do you want expandable storage?

Please do not spam your reply on this one. If you don't agree, please continue with your reply to OP.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] berdo:
I had the opportunity yesterday to return my One and get a S4 and I just couldn't pull the trigger. I came from a note 2, which I loved everything about it but touchwiz. I have always like sense but I thought it was a bit too much in some areas but I absolutely love what HTC did with sense 5, and specifically blinkfeed. I used my note 2 for about 3 days after using a One for almost 2 weeks and I can say that I missed blinkfeed. The S4 is a huge improvement over the s3 as far as build goes. The phone felt much better in the hand then I expected but touchwiz is still so damned ugly. I am sure could root it and go with an AOSP based rom and find themes and different widgets to make it more like I want it to be but then I spending so much time fixing the phone rather than just using it and enjoying it. For me, with the implementation of xposed and some other tweaks that are out there to improve sense, I definitely would stay with the One over the s4, s3, and the gn2. But that is just me. Best bet is to head to a store and play with both.

On a side note, the AT&T store I was in had a huge display for the HTC One, bbz10, iphone 5, and the HTC first but had absolutely nothing for the S4. It was shoved way back in the far corner with no advertisement what so ever. This was a corporate store. Maybe the S4 just sells itself, I do not know, but I thought it was sort of strange.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dxwilliams40:
My indecision led me to acquire both phones. I started with the One then swapped for the S4. Missed the One and got it on my daughter's upgrade. Safe to say the S4 sits in the drawer more often. It's a hell of a phone but the One is something different after owning the S2 and the S3. Once the bootloader is unlocked, then I'm sure I will put it to more use.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Mrkrackie:
The One actually has a brighter screen. There has been luminous tests done on both.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
Most unbiased comparison between the 2, really both great devices at the end of the day. But watch this guys, you wont regret it i promise you.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bdbx18:
Removable microSD and battery used to be a must-have but not anymore.

I had a 32gb msd card in my S3 but I have never taken it out. Besides most apps won't install onto the external card.

Same with the cheap extra batteries I have bought for it. It was too much hassle, shutting down, trying to get the case off just to replace the batt. My solution was to use a usb battery and charge it. That way I could continue to use the phone while charging it.

In for a 64gb black One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] loadedpampers:
Went from the i9300 International version of the S3 to the S4 last week.

Not really worth it because of all the lag on the S4, I'm sure they will get it worked out but I was at the AT&T store today looking to replace the S4 because I am still within my 14 days.

The salesman says "we just got the black HTC Ones in today" I was sold... as soon as he unboxed it.

Looks great and is smooth as silk.... zero lag.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
In my possession... HTC One / Galaxy S4 / LG Optimus G Pro

I really like the HTC One, but my wife wanted it. This allowed me to get the Optimus G Pro.

Add wireless charging to the HTC One, and I'd start drooling. Great device.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
You are one of the luckiest man on earth my friend damn!

Overall which one do you prefer and why?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
You're probably the luckier one brother. I have to make all these videos to afford these things.

Anyways I am glad that you posted in the HTC One section. My wife really liked the device as she liked the HTC One X. However we were really locked into using our Verizon phones. We have both carriers, but now we're both willing to give up our phone numbers and use the AT&T phones as our main lines.

She had no problems letting me get the LG Optimus G Pro because she knew it would free up the One for her to use. The Galaxy S4 doesn't even get any use really. The overall feel just reminds me of the S3. We had a Cricket, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T S3 so enough was enough. Black really looks nice with the Amoled screen and you can see the difference in some of the side by side benchmark tests. However, the feel of the HTC One, stereo speakers, Beats Audio, TV Remote app (superior to the GS4 and way better than the Optimus G Pro) probably makes it our favorite device.

I wanted the Optimus G Pro just because I came from the Note 2. Having a 5.5" device with a 1080 screen is way better than the 720 resolution with the Note 2. I had to root the device and turn the LCD density down to 280 with that thing to get some extra real estate.

I can only ask my wife about the GS4 because I hardly touched it. When it comes to screen sensitivity she said it was fine. With the 1.26 version of the HTC One, there are issues with the capacitive touch buttons wouldn't you say? That gets kind of annoying. The LG Optimus G Pro seems a little on the sensitive side, and a few times today I have pressed stuff which I didn't want to.

Wireless charging... How do you go from wireless charging with the HTC DNA to none in the One? I love that feature with the Optimus G Pro. At least the GS4 will get it without a doubt. The prongs are exposed. Just need a rear cover. Will somebody make a QI receiver built into a case for the HTC One? I sure hope so.

If you have any other questions, pass them along...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chivamex10:
I had a Lumia 920. Wireless charging is overrated. Don't know what the big deal is. Is it really to much work to use the micro USB charger lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
Well when you have a nice device it is pleasant. Not many people like fumbling for the Micro USB cord in the middle of the night.

For example. I'm lying in bed watching TV with my spouse. Easy to grab the phone, write a post, and lay it back down.

Minimizing wear on the port is another advantage.

With all the devices I own I forget which way every manufacturer positions their GD port too (flat side down or flat side up) .

I have a charger in the car, home (bed / desk) , and work. The phone never has a chance to lose the charge unless I keep it off of the charger on purpose.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
My greatest concern for the optimus pro would be a lack of dev support other wise it would be my next phone hands down
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
I don't even have a case for it or screen protector. I can't even begin to hope for dev support :D.

Still waiting to see how much support will be there for a the One and S4. Both are rooted, but only the One has a custom recovery flashed. I know how to root the G Pro. Just have to make a video.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
Thanks man. Is it true that it takes a long time for the HTC One to charge fully vs the G pro that charges lightning fast?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
Yeah we'll it's the only thing stopping me from dumping my old skyrocket lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
Hmm.. Point me to a discussion about this, and I'll test it out.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
I forgot on which thread I saw that the One takes his time to charge. Aaron from phonedog said that the Gpro charges super fast.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] johngreener:
if this thread was post in Galaxy S4 section, LOL

you know what people will say:laugh:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
LG does have a charger that outputs up to 1.8A. That's pretty hefty. Not sure how much current each device can draw max though.

I posted a video on a sound test between the two and there were a lot of comments. Basically just the S4 and One guys bashing each other.

Overall the G Pro had the loudest speakers. Excuse me... Speaker or output. However, the One wins hands down. Practically could win just based on the speakers being on the front.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
How does the phone feel in the hand? And is it lacking software wise?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
You have 17 pages of opinions here. Your answer lies in this thread.

I'm referring to the lg Optimus g pro lol not the HTC one or s4 sorry for the confusion idk why I forgot to quote ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
I had typed out a long message, but Tapatalk ate it.

Originally bought the HTC One. Exchanged for an S4. Regretted my decision within a day and went running back to my beloved One. Blinkfeed, Zoe/Highlights, Beats, and the overall smoothness of Sense won me back over the swiss army knife of features the S4 had... most of which I turned off to fry and eliminate the constant lag/stutter. I'm not one who easily perceives that or throws those words around gently.

Sent from my HTC One
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
I don't feel like its lacking software. Of course I'm use to CM and always get what I need out of my own set of apps. The Quickremote app is not close to as good as the TV app for the One. I wish I we could bundle up that APK and get it working on the Optimus G Pro. As far as feel... Doesn't really feel bad other than lack of grip. The backside has more in common with the GS4 than the One since it's plastic. Weight wise it feels okay. The GS4 reminds me of a cheap Cricket phone in that department.

Weight

GS4 - 4.6 oz

HTC One - 5.04 oz

Optimus G Pro - 6.1 oz

Yeah GS4 is kind of a disappointment. HTC One X should have been accepted across all carriers and been a hit IMO as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
In the SGS4's defense, the lags and stutters were solved with a OTA update. It's no excuse to turning people off though.

I'm more than eager to have both phones in my hands the more I post on these boards.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
Some people reported no change at all and some never has lag in the first place it's just a placebo lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
Those "people" didn't factory reset though. I have no credibility on this as I do not own the device.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrGriffdude:
Some did some didn't. However the s4 forums are so convoluted and crazy that I can not stand them. People just repost the same stuff over and over I cannot discern what's credible and what's not lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
I received and installed the OTA. No noticeable improvement.

Thinking like you, I factory reset following the OTA. No noticeable improvement.

Finally I rooted(held off because there is no custom recovery if I screwed something up, thankfully there's an ODIN backup though), and began freezing all bloatware/AT&T services/Samsung services and turned off a lot of the gestures/face tracking stuff. Some noticeable improvement, but the lag/stutter would still rear it's ugly head more often than I'd like, especially after prolonged use. These were in first party applications, too. I'd see it even in something as simple as pulling down an empty notification bar. Really noticed it yesterday while navigating with Pandora on. My One handled it like a champ, and the S4 struggled with the load.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] samw52000:
so i've been torn between the two for a while now.

Trying to offload my iPhone 4 so I can finally get an android to go along with my Nexus 7 that I've become attached to.

Here is my dilemma:

HTC Pros:

- Design: I'm drooling over the black HTC one 64GB

- Nice low light image quality

- Good image field of vision

- And did I mention the design?

- Quality display

- I can trade in my old HTC TyTn (that I will otherwise get almost nothing for) for $100! (that would be $199 for 64GB model)

Cons:

- Camera, 4M!!! WTF. Zoomed in images look shabby.

- Android 4.1.2 (not sure if that really matters much, UI as so close anyways.

- Oh and did I mention the 4M camera!!!! seriously?

S4 Pros:

- Camera: Samsung S4 13M shows some awesome zoom level quality

- Screen size

- additional sensors (air gestures could be something cool down the line I'm sure)

- specs (CPU, removal batt, microSD storage)

- Gorilla Glass 3 (I'm reading it's a bit better than the GG2 on the HTC)

- oh ya and 13M camera!!!

S4 Cons:

- Camera field of vision quite a bit reduced compared to HTC One

- TouchWiz and AT&T bloatware - looks terrible. I'm sure once rooted I'll be able to freeze what I don't need and run a customer launcher.

- Feels like crap in the hand

- Looks like crap compared to HTC one

- bad low light pictures

- more $$ than HTC One

So this is where I stand... almost all have the same + and -.

I'm honestly not found of either version of JB but figured that I could get around this with a custom ROM.

What it comes down to for me is this (most important first):

1) quality of camera: I take a variety of shots but don't print normally... I just want to have quality images for years to keep.

2) which phone will receive updates faster (newer version of JB) - either via AT&T or thru the manufacturer

3) which phone will get more support from dev. HTC One seems to have a head start... and probably easier from a dev standpoint as well.

4) which phone will provide better customization.

From reading forums I understand that the camera feature will only work if a keep a stock based ROM on either devices so being able to run CM10.1 or else seems more difficult. I think this is where I've been having such a hard time decide since I'm not fond of either TouchWiz or Sense.

From you guys' experience with previous HTC and Samsung devices which do you think would provide quieter update releases (of new version of Android)?
