I already miss things about the One.. Call me crazy but I really liked blink feed.

Funny thing was when I 1st pre-ordered the One I was willing to root or use an alternate launcher just to rid the device of it. After using it though, it's easily one of the best features of the device!

I am sure I will be back.. The S4 is nice as well, but I have always been an HTC fan..

Sense is also much better than TW in my opinion.

I wish I had a better luck of the draw when it came to the QC of the devices I got..

I will give it a bit and follow the QC progress of the One. It really is an awesome device!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jaythaovadose:
At least you realize it's awesomeness and not just a Sammy fan boy. There will be plenty of devices left once you come back. Blink feed is tight imo. This phone is just smooth all around. Once again good luck again my friend enjoy.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
The One is a LOT smoother than the S4..

I have a ton of crap disabled and the S4 still lags a bit but I believe that's a JB 4.2.2 issue..

my s4 went up for sale the minute it arrived. the htc one is the better device.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jaythaovadose:
Should of got "The One" from Costco. 90 day return policy no restock fee. Bring them back until you have one with no gaps or anything. That's what I did. Ps The One deserves to be capitalized because it's that danm good.

I like the one its nice phone but the screen is really hard to get used to. I am coming from a note 2 and the screen on the one feels so puny to me. Wish they made it at least 5 inches in size.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Toaster Strudels:
MAH POSTS cleaned up :) Thanks mods
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
OK so I've done the same thing. Went to the mall yesterday just to check out the S4 but didn't have any intention of exchanging my One. I did end up exchanging tho and I'm kinda regretting my decision because the S4 seems pretty laggy and the One didn't stutter once.

I saw a review for the S-View cover for the S4 and it seems really cool. That with the other accessories made me want the S4 that much more. The battery life on the S4 is surprisingly less than the One.

The only thing holding me back from going back to the One is how hot it got just doing basic things. It isn't even summer yet so I'm afraid how hot it will get. Not that it would do something to the phone but it's uncomfortable to hold. Also the QC issues I become across.

P. S. And this is a big one! The S4 has a locked bootloader! I couldn't believe it.

So all in all I'm not sure what to do.

Oh yea and the One also had that annoying popping sound =/.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] z0mghenry:
I'm not really sure about this stutter or lag people are talking about on the S4. I played with one for a bout 30 min and experienced zero lag at all.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
If the device getting hot is your only negative thing to say about the ONE, I suggest you try another ONE because my ONE doesn't get hot at all.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] spiderjerusalem:
Mine either, I have seen several people complain about heat, no issues at all with mine, barely gets warm under heavy use while plugged in.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
I have the S4 and I just counted my disabled apps.. I have a total of 59 crapware / junk apps frozen and I still get a little lag.. The lag is mainly from the phone and messaging apps.

Now in all fairness this is most likely a 4.2.2 issue..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
The lag and the locked bootloader are the biggest things that are making me want to switch back. I honestly think the One will have more development than the S4 this year. Also the battery in my S4 is pretty bad compared to the One. This is the first Android phone I've ever had that hasn't lasted me the whole day.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
I'm not having battery issues and honestly I can care less about root / locked bootloader as I haven't rooted a device in a year or so..

The lag is rather annoying considering how much crap I disabled..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
The att bootloader looks locked down pretty tight

Reversed most of the AT&T Galaxy S4 bootloader. Design seems solid, I don't expect it to be unlocked except by leak or key mgmt mistake.

This just came across my twitter take it for what it's worth
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
Add in the fact that the HTC One has some of the best developers on the planet carrying the device.. I think if rooting and custom ROM's are an important factor to someone then the One is the easy choice!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phositadc:
I don't know what you are talking about re battery. See screenshots below.

However, I agree with all of your other points. Plus, most photos I take are indoor, so I think the One's camera would be better for me.

I'm planning to buy a One tomorrow and compare. Will return one of them eventually... but right now I'm thinking I'll like the One more than GS4.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
The locked bootloader shocked me. last year Samsung was standing up to carriers and leaving bootloders alone (except VZW) and NOW, 1 year later HTC is unlockable and the SGS 4 isn't?

It's almost like Samsung knows their latest and best is a ho-hum Galaxy S3s :p
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
Weird huh. They seem to be moving in that apple direction more and more. Locked bootloader means more control over the device
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] godfirst:
I couldn't believe it either, Samsung locked down. I thought that was one of it's biggest sellers.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
yep i was blown away too by this i sold 3 today and 2 returned when they found out about the locked bootloader ...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colts187:
I'm in the same boat you're in man. I exchanged my one for an s4 and Im not sure I like it better. The one bootloader on att will prob get locked soon through an update too. The weird software issues with the one like that the drop down window won't respond while in a game and the overheating prompted me to return it but now I kind of miss it. The s4 is really nice I just can't make up my mind. Don't get that stupid flip cover it makes your screen wake up all the time and drags your battery if its in your pocket
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
Yea I am def. missing the One. I hope they don't close the boot loader unlock between now and tomorrow morning lol.

Music pounds through my Sol Republics on the S4 tho. It sounded better than it did on the One I think.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jsho31:
Im heading to ATT right now to get back on the One.... The "F" was I thinking. The S4 is a good phone and all, dont get me wrong but in MY OPINION I prefer the One

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SteveISU:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
I'll take the hit if they ever get the black ONE in stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jsho31:
Just did it. No restocking fee, actually got $9 back. Still would've paid if I had to instead of being stuck with something I don't want. The build quality of this one is better than my first one also.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
How do you manage not to get the restocking fee?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I think if you exchange for another device there isn't a restocking fee, if you return there is. A CS rep told me that as well but they aren't always right as we know. Also re stocking fees are illegal in some states so not every state allows stores to charge restocking frees
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
Bought the One, returned for the S4, returned back for the One today. They did it as a return both times so I had to pay the restocking fee twice.

I'm just happy to be back on the One. HTC finally out did Samsung in the majorities eyes.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colts187:
I had to pay the restocking fee with my exchange
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dxwilliams40:
I did the same. Traded my one for the s4 and regretted it. Lesson learned the hard way. I don't have the option to swap again. Definitely getting the unlocked version pretty soon.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
Where did you get your phone that you don't have the option to return it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jaythaovadose:
Go to Costco. They don't charge restocking fees. Plus you get 90 days to exchange
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrPlNK:
I almost exchanged for the S4, then i realized that what i thought was a dummy phone S4 was an actual S4.

Everything about it screamed entry/mid level.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eallan:
While exchanging my One today, I played with the S4 briefly. It felt like complete and total garbage.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MrPlNK:
I knew I couldn't have been alone in that thought. The most comparable in hand feel was an LG Viper from sprint.. Felt identical to it
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] davidstech11:
Costco, at least the one by me, no longer carries AT&T. When I lived in another state the Costco there carried AT&T but I don't know if they since stopped carrying them.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colts187:
This is the exact same trend as last year. The s4 will sell more BC of marketing. I just hope I can return this locked down s4 before they get a chance to lock that boot loader down. It looks like the att one is the same as the Intl model w an added sweet at&t logo. Lol

Android 4.2 on the one will make it stand head and shoulders above the s4

Do it man! You wont regret it!

I think it's 4.2 that is causing the S4 to lag.

Also, the S3 was a pretty good device compared to the competition last year. Much better than the S4 this year.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jsho31:
I thought I was the only one that thought that. I still have my s3 and like it better than the s4.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
It still feels faster than the S4. A lot less lag.

so ive had a bunch of issues with this, but now everything seems to be running smooth, except my wifi. i cant get it to turn on after wiping caches, re flashing both rom and kernal, everything. i dont know what to do next, plz help someone
[HTC One X+] effezie:
I flashed the new Viper 2.0 and I am having the same problem. I came from Elegancia ROM, flashed the kernel for viper then did factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe for 2.0 independently before full wiping in the ROM. Everything else seemed to work but I remember at the set up screen there wasn't an option to install Wi-Fi.

I tried flashing the ROM again on top of the newly installed viper 2.0 but still the Wi-Fi just says it's turning on.

Going to start over again with full wipe to see if it works this time.

Edit: shouldn't have said everything else worked because didn't do full test. Just got install failed message and next screen said install successful where the reboot system, wipe buttons are. Does boot and go through motions but no radio it seems. MD5 checked out for both kernel and ROM. Starting over with new downloads.
[HTC One X+] ixi_devo_ixi:
Ok so here was my soultion after msgn turge, the kernal in the ZIP folder is ****ed up, u need to go to post 2 in the thread (nice bold red note cause of me haha) get that kernal. Now when I went to flash, I usually use fastboot flash bootimg boot.img

For what ever reason I got many errors until I did full wipe, caches and all, and before I let it try to boot I caught it into boot loader .

To flash it sucessful I had to use fastboot flash boot boot.img. very subtle difference from the other one... But made all the difference.

Full working here, clean smooth. WiFi on.

hi there all - just purchased an xperia t - was under the impression it has 1gb ram and 16gb storage - but under settings>storage it says that device memory is 2gb and internal storage is 11gb... am i missing something?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Yes it does have 1gb ram and 16gb storage. But you are slightly mistaken. 16gb is the total capacity of the device this doesn't mean you can use all the 16gb. First device memory is not ram. It is part of the storage that is allocated to store apps that you have downloaded. So there is 2gb for apps. And yes internal storage is 11gb and this is the part you can use to store your music/pictures etc. So the remaining 3gb is allocated to the system. 16gb in total

Hi all,

so I flashed the rom succesfully and tried with the kernel that was posted in the cm10.1 thread for INTL devices and with the Sultan kernel as well, but i'm still having wifi issues. I went through all the methods that seemed to solve the prooblem, but nothing helped for me. Every time I try to turn wifi on, it stops at 'turning wifi on'. Reboot doesn't help, the only thing that seems to work for me is to stut it down completely and then turn it back on about 3-4 times. Then without even touching the wifi it starts with connected wifi. If I press reboot it will loose it again. The problem seems to be solved in the Sultan kernel thread, but only for the US versions. :(

Can anybody suggest some solution for me?

Thanks

In case you haven't seen this yet, there is a petition on change.org to convince Verizon Wireless to abandon service contracts.

Verizon: Get rid of contracts for wireless service

Petition by: Mike Beauchamp, Wichita, KS

News coverage:

CNN: Thousands petition Verizon to nix wireless contracts

Venture Beat: Verizon, can you hear me now? Thousands demand a swift end to contracts

Below is my comment on change.org. Be sure to write a comment too so your signature is meaningful!
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
This will never work.

This is just one of many ways that Verizon makes money. Verizon does offer prepaid...
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Jedi:
Verizon would jump on that to take away everyone's unlimited data plans lol
[Thunderbolt General] tburns:
There's nothing wrong with service contracts. I like Verizon when I travel i don't have to worry about not having service in any part of the States. I'll pay for the coverage that no others give.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Partition? Lol. I love VZW's service, anywhere I've gone in the U.S., MN, ND, SD, TN, IA, my service is flawless, even in sparsely populated areas. When T-Mobile and similar carriers can offer the same coverage, they'll have my attention, until then though, I'll just get an unlimited amount of the quality I pay for...
[Thunderbolt General] kristoff123:
I have Page Plus, which is one of the few MVNO's to use Verizon towers, and have yet to not have service. I've been all over the country for the last year, coast to coast. I pay $28.50 a month after the callingmart discount, and get 1200 minutes, 3000 texts, 250mb of data. I use email, navigation, and opera mini web browsing (compresses everything), and 250mb gets me through the month. of course, you can have unlimited voice and text for $38 -always use callingmart, it is 5% off every month.

I used to have Verizon, but got out of my contract, which was costing me over $100 a month. So, i am saving close to $1000 a year doing this, which can go toward more important things, like hookers and cocaine 8-]

Doesn't Verizon already have a separate "partition" for prepaid? And isn't it crazy how 3G has become the po' man's preferred network over the last few years? I supposed if I streamed more HD video on the go, I would be dying for 4g and more data, but I only watch movies and stuff at home! When I'm out of the house, I am mainly working or socializing. To each their own, of course.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
More important things like hookers and cocaine.

Ha. Too true.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I will say this much on their coverage. I went to Hawaii last year and was able to get 4g. If that tells you anything about their coverage then you know its huge. Still though you can get Verizon off contract with their prepaid service which is what they will tell you. Also, once your two years is up you are technically off contract.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Yes, after a customer's contract date has passed, they are just month to month on the terms of their former contract. Prior to signing up for the unlimited data plan, I was off contract with VZW for several years clinging to a discontinued plan of theirs. I have no issue doing the same again, but am disappointed by the current smartphone crop VZW carries. No N4 or HTC one has had me looking around, but I'll likely stay, I've been with VZW for over 10 years and consume an obscene amount of data.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I'm betting that HTC has a better version of the one coming out instead. Likely it is the dna 2. As for the n4, who cares? It is 3g only and the n5 should he coming out soon. Hopefully they get it but I'm doubting it since the Google devices receive all their updates from Google and not through the carrier which Verizon doesn't like.
