[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
It's becoming somewhat hectic overthere. I'm going to get both phones and I'll get them at Costco as they have a excellent return and exchange policy. If I have any regret with either I'll just return one of them.

But the way it's looking I'm being more convinced that the HTC One is the way to go customization wise. I see the SGS4's potential really shinning once the bootloaders are unlocked and ROMs are portable between the i9505 and AT&T version.

The only thing that bugs me about the one is of course the build quality issues. I inspected 2 HTC ones at Costco that had a noticeable gap. The display model I was able to fit my finger nail in it, but this could be due to it being a display model and people playing with it. It looked relatively new though. The other thing that bugs me is subjective things like battery and SD card.

I'm still wondering when the day will come when there is a phone that has EVERYTHING, all the pros of both the SGS4 and HTC One and none of the cons. Kind of like when the first iPhone came out, don't hit me please :rolleyes: *flinches*

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

I've always had a case around my phone. I'm 100% sure I'm going to put a case around my HTC One and SGS4 when I get them. Because of that, design doesn't really matter to me.

There are pros and cons for the way both of them are designed. The SGS4 is incredibly easy to repair and lets say you dropped it in the toilet, you could quickly remove the battery. When my friend and his GF got pushed into a pool during a party, I saved his G2 buy yanking the battery out, the iPhone just started destroying itself like it was on LSD.

Right now the SGS4 is having some lag problems, and the bootloaders are locked. but there will be a wa yto unlock them. ANd seeing that ROMs will soon be portable form the i9505, development will start to boom when that happens.

The HTC One has better amplifications in sound, you forgot to mention this. And the speakers are stereo L and R speakers. Honestly it's a pretty hard decision between the two and I would purchase them somewhere that has a great exchange policy like... COSTCO! or SAMS CLUB!

At Costco you could eat a whole pie and return the tin for your money back.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] samw52000:
You're right... I didn't mention anything about the speakers but that's because it's unfortunately has little importance to me :(... I would have so much rather traded them for a higher quality cam... but again that's just me and my personal take.

I'll never be blasting anything loud enough from it to matter much and most of the time will likely be using my quality headphones instead.

I realize that it's all about compromised... and at this point I hate to have to say this but I am leaning towards the S4 because of the shear number of feature. I just can't get over the design aspect of the HTC...

Maybe I'll wait a few more weeks for the Galaxy Zoom to surface... might be a good reason for me to make up my mind. Otherwise the Samsung S4 32GB is still not available in white from AT&T so I'd need to wait a bit longer anyways.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ovoxo.:
I owned both. Yesterday I took the One back to ATT and decided I was going to keep the S4.. That same night I regretted my decision and went back asap this morning to exchange it back for the One. It was the very last day within my 14 day return period, so I made my decision right on time! I was never in love with the Sammy, however, the HTC wowed me from the beginning. Coming from an S2, to an S3, there was nothing that made me want to keep the S4 except for dev support. I was foolish to think that the HTC was not going to receive the same amount of development.

The One is better in every aspect (my personal opinion) and is a breath of fresh air from that cheapo plastic and yellowish display hues (again, my personal opinion). It wasn't until I gave the One back where I realized how great of a device it really is. Fits great in my hand, the display is gorgeous, and the battery life is pretty much on par with the S4. If anyone is on the same boat that I was, maybe this will help you in your decision. Just had to let you guys know.. :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Rado_vr6:
After much debate between the G Pro and the HTC One, I'm pretty sold on the latter. I felt both today for the first time and although the screen real estate is a huge drop from my Note 2, I fell in love with the One. The build quality is top shelf, the cameras are both stellar, and as much as the buttons or lack thereof I should say, bother me, I just love it. Those speakers are the bees knees, I've never heard sounds come in so clear.

I've owned just about every flagship model Samsung has offered since the Galaxy S 4G and I'm SICK of the flimsy plastic.

Somewhere taking Notes.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chrisngrod:
Came from the Note 2 as well.

I would have kept the One if I didn't need the G Pro for work purposes.

The GS4 just sits around the the house now waiting for a new accessory to arrive.

So I have spent the last 2-3 days combing every respectable forum on the web and can't find an answer to this.

I did the kies update to 4.1.2 and then rooted with SuperuserSU. Now I need to tether. I tried freezing the TetheringProvision 4.06.30 but that didn't work like it did with the Tethering Manager in GB and ICS.

I feel your pain

I'm sorry I can't solve your problem for you. I have the same problem too. I was using Wifi Tether For Root Users and it was great. I updated to the most current version, tried the Treve Mod version, and nothing works. I'll let you know if I make any progress. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kman_550:
I got it to work for me :)

I have a SII i727 on the ATT network;

Im not sure exactly what you are using for your wifi app but I use Wifi Tether for Root. After updating to JB 4.1.2, I rooted using openrecovery twrp 2.5.0.0. in odin 1.85. I deleted my previous Wifi Tether app and started fresh. I found the following site and directly downloaded/installed the TrevE Mod from the browser in my phone using a Google search. I then followed the instructions from the following;

This is where I would have inserted the link however this site restricts me from doing that since I am a new user. So instead, google search "wifi tether treve mod" and your first hit should be a site from highonandroid dot com. From there, they do all the work.

I can't believe it, but it works on both my ipad and laptop flawless!!! I hope that helps and best of luck to you...

A more refined and ultimately more usable experience so far as I can tell from using it/reading through the description. Sadly, it went crazy and rebooted my phone along with some potentially seizure inducing flickering of the screen. I'm on a nightly CM10.1 ROM though, stock ROMs should be fine with it.

Google Play has had problems installing keyboards into the right directories since the JB update (which is why your selection wont stick with reboot). Another fix (besides freezing default), is to backup Swype with an app like TiBackup or ROM Toolbox, and then restore the backup. The restoration should put the app in the correct location and will allow the selection to stick
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] accrews2001:
That didn't work. :( I unfroze the samsung keyboard, rebooted (samsung now switched to default), backed up swype, restored app+data, set swype to default, rebooted phone, and the samsung keyboard is the default again. What step did I miss that would put it in the correct location? (fyi, still using Ultimate backup lite)

Update. Okay for some reason ultimate backup lite didn't see "swype+dragon" For some reason, even though I deleted swype beta, it's somewhere on my phone and that's what ultimate saw. Now, the bad news is that I re-downloaded TiBu, and it found swype+dragon. I backed it up and restored it. Now all it does is tell me "Unfortunately Swype+dragon has stopped working." HELP!

Update 2: Mini-heartattack averted. I thought maybe there was a directory conflict, so I uninstalled "swype+dragon" via TiBu, checked that the app was no longer listed in the app manager, and then restored "swype+dragon" via TiBu. It worked and I set it to default. Restarted my phone and it stuck without freezing the samsung keyboard. Whew! Thought I would detail out my steps unless anyone else tried this.

Thanks for the idea corbn89

Android 4.2 keyboard > swype

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
i thought so too for a while as i have been using the 4.2 KB since CM10.1 got to 4.2. prior to that i used all iterations of swype for the past 2.5 years. i liked how the 4.2 KB looked, and thought their swiping implementation was 'good enough', not quite as good as swype but i saw no reason to go and install swype anyway.

however now that they released swype on Play, I DLed it again and the swyping accuracy, corrections and even ease of use of the swype KB is far better. i had almost forgotten how much i liked swype until I stopped using it in lieu of the 4.2 KB. i'm gonna stick with swype again (but I wish their Holo theme was blue instead of orange)

No. When I used beta, I never had any lag. It's only since I got it off the store.

that doesn't utilize google voice typing. That little fire icon requires an internet connection so it can send the recording to dragon for translating it back to text. Try putting your phone in airplane mode and using that little fire icon.

My one wish for swype is that they allow you to use whatever voice typing you want to use.

How much slower is your phone? Mine can get so slow its unusable. I'm talking about 5 to 10 seconds to go from the lock screen to my home screen. Maybe up to 10-15 seconds to open some apps that used to be instantaneous. I'm shocked how terrible my phone has gotten since the installation of the keyboard from the Play Store, not expecting this at all since the beta was smooth and fast!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] accrews2001:
Mine depends on the phase of the moon I think. I don't think I've had it as bad as you though. Sometimes I have 1-5 seconds of lag opening apps, particularly text messages. Sometimes it doesn't ever recognize I hit the speaker button while on a call. Sometimes I have no lag at all. However I used to never have any lag prior to installing the released Swype. Like you I'm shocked, because I never had any issues with Swype beta.

Another fact is that my wife's s3 has no lag after installing the released version but she never upgraded to jellybean.

A couple of points:

1) Samsung's keyboard sucks, especially if you like to swype.

2) Swype is the best swyping keyboard.

3) Swiftkey flow is good but a notch below Swype in accuracy. However, I do prefer their keyboard layout and the themes that they offer.

Also, it is absolutely terrible that no matter which keyboard I use, after I restart the phone it revert backs to the stock Samsung keyboard :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] accrews2001:

Yes, it's really quite nice. There's an adjustment period involved like there is with anything so close to the person-to-device relationship, but the effort is well worth it. In particular it's the best one-handed/one-thumbed approach I've come across which makes it despicably convenient for many use cases.

My only complaint is that the Dragon voice interaction experience while accurate is not as smooth as the AOSP keyboard across the entire OS (esp. with Google Now and such), but I still cringed every time I installed a new ROM or such and got slapped with the AOSP or Samsung TW keyboards. Getting Swype reinstated was typically among my top priorities for making the device usable again.

Swype also has the best and smoothest correction interface in my opinion when you need to go back and correct the inevitable typos.

Agreed on all points. I too have purchased and tried to love Swiftkey but always came back to Swype betas on the phone at least. On the Nexus 7 tablet I don't love Swype quite as much, but it's convenient to have a familiar and consistent interface at least.

At this introductory pricing Swype is quite a bargain, especially now that it can synchronize dictionaries across devices.

There's your problem. :)

I'm not sure how many saw this recent review on keyboards:

http://phandroid.com/2013/06/03/best-keyboard-apps-android/

I felt that they did not do a very thorough job, leaving out some of the obvious options in Swype as well as some alternative keyboards.

Also, just released in the Playstore is Google's 4.2 keyboard. I've heard very good things about this keyboard but have never used it. I wonder, since I like to swype, how it compares to Swiftkey and Swype?
