[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] 02CWRX:
Could anyone give me any insight here?

I bought a Galaxy S4 yesterday and I am feeling like it was a mistake. I previously had a Sensation 4G with ARHD installed and loved that phone and ROM. I went with the S4 mainly because it had an external SD card slot and removable battery, but also because of the announced Nexus S4 down the road thinking we might get some "cool stuff" from that, but I'm not so sure any more. It also had some more silly things like temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure sensors I though developers could play with in new and interesting ways, but the more I think about it the less I think those are important. Not to mention now that I've used the S4 for a couple days, it just doesn't feel "right" to me with the touchwiz interface. The lock screen is confusing because it has windows and other weird things happening if you swipe certain ways or tap the back button when locked, I hate that the keyboard doesn't seem to have an auto correct feature by default, the Bluetooth streaming media won't reconnect to my vehicle when I get back in (only the call audio reconnects) so I have to toggle the Bluetooth on and off to get it to reconnect each time, I miss some of the visual elements of HTC's sense based ROMs, I can't stand the app drawer icon is forced to the right of the dock and not in the middle, I don't like horizontal scrolling app drawers, and the S voice is just pure crap when trying to use voice dial assuming I can get the bluetooth to work.

That all said, I understand a lot of those things can be taken care of by add-ons, ROMs, kernels, whatever. But I really just wanted something I could run "basically stock", or root to remove bloatware and be done with it. It sounds like I am hearing more and more the HTC One should have been the one I bought. The other thing that comes to mind is that I work in a machine shop where I need better audio volume. That was my biggest complaint with my Sensation 4G was that both in-call audio and ringer volumes were WAY too quiet. I had my volumes on 100% constantly, and even using tweaks for the built in amplifer it was just barely acceptable. I am hoping that the One would provide the volume that I need to hear my phone in my pocket, and hopefully the in-call speaker volume has been improved as well when making a call.

I think I will head back to the T-Mobile store this weekend and play with an HTC One and the new Sense interface to see if maybe that one would "feel" better. I'm still worried though because the complain I have seen a couple times has been the Bluetooth media quality. The Galaxy S4 works fine in that regard, but only when it actually works...

Does anyone have any thoughts either way for me?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I opted for the One early, after reading reviews of the S4. I like technology, but I really only want useful tech. After some consideration, I decided I could live with the fixed battery and only 32Gb total storage (25 available). Once I decided that it was a no brainer.

However, I have fairly light use. My phone right now on 72% after 10.5 hours power on. If you plan to keep the screen on or game with it, be aware that about 5 hours is all one can reasonably expect from this battery. Either live with it by planning to charge at work, or in the car, etc., or don't get the One (if the battery use is expected to be high).

The One is a beautiful phone that is really well implemented.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Aetherhole:
You're posting in the HTC One forums so you have to realize the obvious bias that will come. That being said, I think you may want to just live a couple of days with the S4 and see how it grows on you. I know that for me I've played with the S4 and it is too much "frills" for my taste, which is why I opted for the HTC One. Sense 5.0 is really something unique. It feels like they really trimmed the fat down and made it a straightforward skin to use. Performance-wise, the two phones are going to be a bit of a wash. The S4 stock has higher clocked cpu, but it is bogged down by the overlay of Touchwiz, so it kinda brings it back down to the level of the HTC One. The S4 definitely has the removable battery and SD Card slot advantage over the One, but the trade-off is the build of the phone itself.

I absolutely love the One and am not bothered by the lack of memory expandability. The One is a fantastic all around phone that has the best of all worlds. It may not be the absolute best phone out in the market, but it is certainly THE contender in every category you can consider.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Interesting. I had that same battery on my Amaze 4G, and I had to baby it carefully to get it to last all day. In particular, I had to be sure and keep all radios (except the phone itself) off unless they were being used. My One is much superior in battery use.

BTW, keep the screen off if you can while streaming music (maybe it does this already); that will save a lot of battery.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] unixman2000:
One thing about the camera lens..

I noticed that the clear protective cover over the camera lens seems to be made of plastic. I noticed there were 2 small scratches within the first 4 days I had the HTC One. I did have a thin TPU cover on but with this cover there is not much thickness around the camera lens. Also the area around the lens is very flat so without adequate protection, laying this phone backside down seems to easily scratch the lens.

Kind of disappointed to find this out. I had a HTC Sensation before with a thin TPU cover and I never had any scratch issues at all on the camera lens. :crying:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Aetherhole:
Unless I am mistaken, I do not think you can assign a specific IP address to the HTC One either, which seems to be a huge misstep on both HTC and Samsung's part, I think.

I'm definitely not one to be able to make the comparison between Sense 4.0 and 5.0, but from what I've read especially on multiple professional reviewers before the actual release date is the HTC sense is a slimmer, less intrusive version of Sense, which take it for what you will, I think is ultimately is better because I'm finding I prefer much less frills in terms of brand skinning.

I think one of the biggest benefits with the HTC is the audio, all around. That does not just apply to the apparent dual speaker system, but also in-call quality, as well. This is just my personal comparison to what phones that I've previously had, but it is one of the easiest to hear of any smartphone I've used thus far. I am, more-often-than-not, in the warehouse at my work and with pallet jacks, echoing voices, etc happening, I've never had issue with understanding the caller on the other end. As far as hearing when people call or text, I've also run into no problems in that department either.

All in all, I've yet to lock up this phone and mine is O/C'ed and undervolted. Just on stock rooted ROM and it is working famously!

So I have been unable, for the past few months, to access XDA Forums while on mobile data via either XDA app or browser.

When I get home on my WiFi I can access no problem on both browser and app.

I thought it may have been a ROM problem but since changing roms and still having the same issue I figure that maybe an IP block?

Any help on the matter?

We only block ips very sparingly, although we do have some automated processes that block IPs if we see abusive behavior from them. If you send me your IP I can do a quick check to see if you are in the list. You can send it by PM if you wish to keep it private. Thanks.

bitpushr,

204.101.xxx.xxx is the block it's on now. I am pretty sure it was on 10.xx.xxx.xxx block the other day. Since it's mobile connection I assume it is similar to DSL with different blocks of IP's but I am unsure how mobile data connections work.

in order to use the S pen feature is that a touchwiz feature only or do other roms have it other than touchwiz, my brother has the note 2 and is a noob at this stuff so i was just wondering i have the galaxy s2 so im not familiar with the note 2 and any of the roms that are out for i flashed the carbon rom on it for him but he said the s pen dosnt work

Yes s-pen is TW only, any aosp rom you will lose features.

I have a 32 GB sd card.. and I want to flash a custom rom.. some of them says that I have to format my SD card to fat32 if you have a 64GB card. DO I have to do this since I have 32? If yes, how do I format it to fat32 (sorry being a noob)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtoysrock:
No you don't need to. I do however have mine as fat32.

To format it you need to insert it in a pc and right click the card name and format.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hexdrus:
I have no luck with the Jedi roms and sdcards. They say to reformat the card with a particular fat32 block size..but I have a feeling that is what killed my sdcard. I have been using jelly bean swap kernel with a 64gb sdcard with no problems thus far (knock on wood)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sodalitas:
I had to remove the individual contact pictures and replace. That fixed it. I read that the mosaic was supposed to make upscaled pictures look a bit more acceptable.

It actually looks pretty nice! I would like all my contacts to have that effect...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmith1991:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sodalitas:
If the mosaic dots were smaller, they might be more acceptable, but for me, I'd rather still have the regular ones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vapotrini:
Totally agree with you. For the very least, make it an option. Most of my pics are good enough quality for me to view them without this effect.

Similar to what Sodalitas mentioned, simply re-assign a photo & it will/should look normal.

Just so that everyone is aware, Xtremeguard.com is selling S4 screen protectors really cheap right now, 60% off in fact. If you want a good day one protection, check them out.

I've used them before on my nexus 10, the protector has a very slight orange peel look to it, but it isn't terrible, and for such a large screen, it doesn't show up much at all. Worth the protection, and less orange peel than ZAGG... Be sure to use the 60off coupon for 60% off your order! $3.50 for a full body protection.
