[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TechSilver13:
I agree with you. The one is just a regular phone...the s4 gimmicks or not has extra features. If you dont use them turn them off...simple.

About the noise plastic makes...my s3 and note 2 didnt make noises. They were always in a case so maybe thays why.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] z0mghenry:
I bought the One last week and played with the S4 today in the AT&T store. To me, it seemed more of the same of S3. It did feel better than the S3, and I do like the new back cover design. I really liked the screen size and the color vividness was a treat. My only gripes were that I couldn't quite seem to get the autoscrolling feature to work. The speakers were loud but a little tinny sounding compared to the HTC One. That said I wanted a change after having the S1,2, and 3. I'll be saving my upgrade for the S5 next year :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
Speakers are hands down better on the One no questions asked!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] americasteam:
Not me. Couldn't be happier with the S4. The One was a nice phone, but overall I feel the S4 is much better. Screen, multitasking, build quality (even though it's made of plastic), software, battery life, and headphone out sound quality are all better on the S4 IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] EboniK:
Couldn't get anymore fanboi status could you? I love both phones but the ONE is something new and innovative. None the less they're both great phones. If you think the s4 offers that much more, you still have a bit of reading to do.

Getting my s4 tomorrow :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
Not sure on the multitasking but the black bar menu was fixed with the mod that enabled hold back for menu. It's not 100% yet but works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
Yes I have been reading up on there forum. Will root it and try Maximus. If multi tasking still isn't right will be using my gs4 mainly and the One will be my flashing play with phone :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
only thing i see with the S4 is that the display is almost ghosting? Scrolling in the menu the text and lines get jagged while moving up and down. Anyone else notice this? Much more notable in dim screen brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
Now that you mention I have noticed that also. Doesnt really bother me but have noticed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
I had a note 2 since release day no creaks or noise on mine either I agree with you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] valleng:
I'm happy with my decision. I just think it's a more feature packed phone. Also ordered a neo hybrid from Amazon 20$ with expedited shipping
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hello00:
it has been said that the one takes better pictures than the s4..see the link on my post and read up a little bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
I currently own both phones. GS4 takes better pictures in good conditions, one takes better pictures generally in low light, which includes all but the most well lit indoor settings. I take 50% or more of my pictures inside, and often of things that aren't perfectly still (ie. My dog). 9/10 indoor pictures taken with the One are very good. Maybe 4 or 5 out of 10 of the indoor pictures taken with the GS4 are very good. So for me, even though the BEST GS4 pictures are better than the BEST One pictures, the AVERAGE One picture is better than the Average GS4 picture.

On the balance for me, the One consistently produces better pictures. I would guess this would be true for most people who take more indoor pictures than outdoor pictures.

Oh, and the speed of the One from picture to picture kills the GS4. If you are using the night mode on GS4 (which does produce very nice low light pictures by the way), it literally takes a couple of seconds from picture to picture.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SkriblZz:
I had the One for a week. I love the look and feel of the phone, so freaking much, I also loved Sense 5's look, but it's lack of features was lame. One thing though I loved the screen more on the One. I love the colors and the contrast on the S4, but the One's screen seemed like it had a better refresh rate, plus I don't really like PenTile pixels on the S4 It's very odd to see "circular" pixels when looking, it's not as crisp. Surprisingly, the One had better texting skins than the S4, and a better keyboard.

I got the S4 for future proofing. As much as I love the One's design, it got dirty quick, everything sticks to the back of it. I knew I would have to put a case on that beauty, .

With the S4, I can put a case on it, which will make it look better, and Gorilla Glass 3 makes me worry less about my screen.

Oh, and I love the S4's features. (Not really the new additions to the S4, but I mean the small things like brightness controller in my notification panel and such. This is so freaking helpful.)

And for some reason on my One, my folders/icons liked to migrate between home screens. It was pretty odd. lol

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

That's the case I got as well. It looks really awesome, it makes the S4 not look so... cheap? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
I really don't get the cheap arguement. Sure its plastic, however its lighter, thinner,and feels fine. Sure the one is metal and is more sturdy, its metal.

But if cheap means:

lighter, thinner, micro SD support, swappable battery, wireless charging kit accessory, and a replaceable back cover that I can buy for cheap in case it gets beat up > metal

I'll take the cheap.

The feel is so subjective and overblown. Holding the s4 feels more grippy to me than the one, where the aluminum feels nice but much more slick. At work i used an otterbox case so the feel went out thr window on those days. Does that mean my opinion should dictate yours? No. But its what I determined after using both. I was wowed by the metal for a few days, afterwards it was just as much a smartphone as any other smartphone, just with a metal shell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JuannTwo3:
The thing I miss the most from my One are the front-facing speakers. The speaker on the S4 pales in comparison
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
Guess I am eating crow. Although I still have odd multi tasking I am back with a rooted and Rom'd HTC One and liking it. May return my gs4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lunercrab:
I'm thinking about giving the one another try...especially now since they made the logo into a menu button...though not sure if we can flash international kernels...I'm guessing so....I really love both phones...want to use them both side by side and see for me at least which one is more suitable....though personally still prefer samsungs multitasking so much better the HTC....maybe ill just have to own both :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
I agree totally about the preferring Samsung's multi tasking. Lol yes I am debating that too lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lunercrab:
I have another upgrade coming up next month and maybe I can sweet talk them into letting me upgrade early that way can do my own side by side comparison and return the one I decide against
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
Worth a shot you should ask them. Either way you get a great phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eallan:
I wouldn't let the home2menu thing sway you into buying the One. It works poorly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
THIS. While it worked for me, it affected the fluidity of the back and home buttons. The HTC menu button worked when you hit the very to of the HTC logo, while the back and home worked 60% of the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I returned my launch day HTC One mainly because of build quality issues. I went through 3 HTC Ones's in 10-days. The QC at HTC needs to improve and maybe it already has.

My S4 has no build quality issues and the QC appears to be much better!

Hardware:

Screen outdoors = HTC One

Screen indoors = S4

Screen size = S4

Camera indoors - HTC One

Camera outdoors = S4

Menu / home buttons = S4

Battery = S4

SD Card slot = S4

No lag = HTC One

Phone stays cool (no heat issues) = S4

Feel in hand = HTC One

Weight to size balance = S4

Sound quailty from speakers = HTC One

Software / Apps:

Phone = S4

Email app = HTC One

Calendar = S4

Messaging = S4

Calculator = S4

GUI (Sense -v-TW) = HTC One

Quick settings (toggles) = S4

Least amount of crapware = HTC One

I am keeping the S4 but in reality and all this fanboy crap aside, both phones rock and you really can't go wrong with buying either.

Both have pluses and both have their minuses..

Get what works for you and not what the fanboys try and cram down your throat.

If I didn't have the QC issues I would have kept and been very happy with my HTC One.

Now that I have the S4 I am completely happy with it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
I was suprised how easy it was for the phone to get over 100 degrees. All you need to do is check facebook/twitter for 10 minutes and the HTC One climbs to 105+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
Ya the HTC One does get pretty warm / hot rather fast..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
It's working great on mine. Sweep2wake and HTC menu is working like a charm. Have got more use out of them then all the gestures on the gs4 lol. Took it back today and will stick with the One. Multi tasking is still shutdown more aggressively but I will deal with it. Once I found out s off isn't really needed I had to get one again :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
What kernel are you using for the sweep to wake? And how accurate is the touch sensitivity for the htc menu mod?

Doesnt a custom rom help with the multi tasking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
Clean Rom 1.6 and bullet proof kernel. No still get refreshing tapatalk and browser from time to time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
A cm rom would probably fix that multi tasking nonsense. Have you tried the alpha, nandroid backup beforehand if you do :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ratchetjaw:
That's probably true. But I am enjoying it as is worth Sense right now. Alpha CM will probably have more broken then I am wanting to deal with right now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ahm12:
one is aluminum may be thats why.. Aluminum is good conductor of heat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mrkrackie:
I had to decide between the two and ended up getting the S4, I'm only a day in and questioning my decision. I had to turn off all the new software features to get rid of the lag that everyone is experiencing.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Do you even have an android phone, locked bootloaders is nothing new. They had locked bootloaders on the htc one x and hmmm I have custom roms on it. People will always be able to crack it. And the plastic is not even bad its study and feels solid. Quit being such a troll.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Ordered a neo hybrid as well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] seh6183:
Hey thanks for quoting me and reminding me that this thread existed, I had almost forgotten about it and now I have to suffer further. Anyhow the bootloader being locked isn't a huge deal, it will be unlocked soon enough. As a matter f fact it already is, but not released yet. Anywhoo it all doesn't matter because AOSP will never work properly on it, which means all of the greatest roms will have to be avoided, which means you guys have to stare at touchwiz everyday, which means I feel sorry for you. Also I'm sorry but there is nothing sturdy or premium feeling about the s4, it feels like paper mache and absolutely certainly does not feel like a premium device. Its the s3 all over again. You can justify your purchase all day long to yourself, but you're not convincing me of anything buddy.

Have a great afternoon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sirrdeezy:
I agree I went in the Att store yesterday thinking the s4 would really blow the s3 out as far as build quality and it feels cheaper. I'm shocked the HTC one is better hands down not a bias opinion cause I used whatever is the latest and best and tha one is the best right now so ima get that when my upgrade which is next week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
i bought the one yesterday off contract at best buy knowing i would return it within a week but really wanting to try it out. I couldnt stand sense UI and some of its quirks (seriously.. no quick access on the pulldown bar??? among other things). I also missed the third menu button too much and hated some part of my screen being used for a menu like bar (i.e. facebook). I picked up the S4 today on contract knowing this is the phone ill keep. but for the next week i have both phones here so i'll be playing with both this next several days to really decide which is best.

fwiw, my htc one was at 40% battery after lunch around 1pm today.. unacceptable. I didn't use any power saving features for this day, but I hate that i'd have to on a premium phone just to make it through the day..

we'll see how the s4 does tomorrow without any cutting back on power saving features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] seh6183:
Ok first off the third menu button can easily be enabled. It turns the HTC logo into the menu button, eliminating the on screen menu from the screen. So you're saying you can't stand Sense but just abolutely love Touchwiz?? Well, lol, then is sounds the the S4 is just the phone for you ;)

Also making blanket statements about a phones battery performance without including any facts whatsoever doesn't really help your argument much. At least show some screenshots of why the battery life is bad. I mean you could have 6 hours of screen on time and be at 40%, how are we to know? You need to use battery apps to figure out what, if anything, is draining your battery. The s4 doesn't have a magic battery that makes it last longer than the HTC. Its bigger, which helps out, but not magic. It has already been proven that the HTC one has some of the best battery idle performance of any phone ever created. So :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Skizzy034:
Cheap must also mean locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robstunner:
For now, sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tdesbien31:
Dont make the switch. I made the switch from Htc One to the S4 and regret the hell out of it. The S4 is a lagathon. SOOO much lag. Im actually debating about puting this thing in its box until some ROM's come out to fix the lag, or until AT&T releases a fix for the god awful lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tyshemi:
It is bad I have both and let me tell you I'm staying with the one !sense is polished and the screen is so sexy and not fake looking like the gs4! The gs4 is nice and offers lots of features but it's the same story with sammi all the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sixpoint1:
Hold them both in your hand. Use it one after the other. The HTC is bulky, heavy, and doesn't feel as good in my hand plus it loses the screen battle which is #1 for me. Plus all the features that come with Samsung. Also knowing that the company will exist in a year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nohcho:
+1. HTC hasn't been doing too hot lately
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] c5satellite2:
HTC One 12 hours off charger with moderate use and I still have 65% battery. Never gets hot, just warm like any other phone, screen blows away the pentile amoled, camera is ridiculous, no lag ever, minimal bloatware, front facing stereo speakers.......not really close if you ask me. And yes I have played with the s4, unimpressed. Touchwiz is more bloated and full of useless crap than sense ever was. Good luck waiting for those magical updates from Samsung to "fix" the lag.

And for the comment above about HTC not doing too well lately.........the One is the most sought after phone right now, and we have all the great devs on board.

Silly Sammy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] akira02rex:
You sound like an Apple fanboi.

The camera on the S4 is obviously better than the One - go read some reviews and look at sample images for proof. If you can prove otherwise, show us.

We get a 1.9ghz Snapdragon600 - you have 1.7 - HAH!

We have a device the same size as yours but with a 5in screen - OLED to boot w/ TRUE BLACKS - when you want true black, the LED turns off. Better sunlight legibility.

Our LED notification is superior.

Our phone is thinner.

Our speaker is probably louder, but not as good as quality as BOOM sound.

We have gorilla glass 3 - you have 2.

We have a plastic casing that doesn't dent and show nasty scratches.

When KNOX is released it'll hit the enterprise like a storm - HTC's variant? None.

What else chump? :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I like the HTC One but why would you play a kindergartner game and come here with fanboy crap?

I will never understand why people do this crap.. Enjoy your phone man life it to short to act like a child on an internet forum...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
If htc one is so great why are htc one users posting in samsungs gs4's forum :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] akira02rex:
Yep, when the boot unlocker is released all of the One owners will be posting "man! I wish I would have kept my S4 now..."

And FYI, the only reason the One is "highly sought after" which in this case is synonymous to "low production volume" is because HTC is having issues producing units at a rapid rate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
When I did my S4 exchange today the girl told me she has only sold 2 HTC One's since the S4 was released..

I do think the HTC One is an awesome phone and I'd seriously consider switching back if I could but the S4 is just as nice..

HTC has serious build quality issues and the S4 does not

The S4 has lag issues and the Ones does not

Pick your poison...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] c5satellite2:
The camera on the S4 is obviously better than the One - go read some reviews and look at sample images for proof. If you can prove otherwise, show us.

Completely untrue. Most reviews show the sgs4 camera slightly better under the best conditions which is about 10% of actual use, with The One excelling the other 90% of the time. Depth of field and color representation goes to The One hands down.

We get a 1.9ghz Snapdragon600 - you have 1.7 - HAH!

1.9 vs 1.7??? Really? Wow your number is bigger, but the one is still faster.

We have a device the same size as yours but with a 5in screen - OLED to boot w/ TRUE BLACKS - when you want true black, the LED turns off. Better sunlight legibility.

Oled blows. Slcd is better in direct sunlight btw. Better blacks by a little, completely unrealistic color representation. Pentile is a joke.

Our LED notification is superior.

LED on the One is like a freaking laser, don't know where you got that from

Our phone is thinner.

By what a half a mm?

Our speaker is probably louder, but not as good as quality as BOOM sound.

Don't even need to comment...not close at all.

We have gorilla glass 3 - you have 2.

Same hardness btw. Will break just as easy because it is thinner.

We have a plastic casing that doesn't dent and show nasty scratches.

No dents or scratches here, I take care of my devices, or just get a case just like sgs4 users will.

When KNOX is released it'll hit the enterprise like a storm - HTC's variant? None.

Good luck not owning your phone, having a locked bootloader, and not having root with your "enterprise" phone.

What else chump? :laugh:

I think that's enough.....get your facts straight first guy. Check out our forums with all the Sammy fanboys jumping ship. Kinda funny. Have fun with the lag! And we have all the best devs. You know you want to return it and get The One. Am I saying the sgs4 is junk, no. It's just not as good as The One when you take everything into consideration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] akira02rex:
Hah, you're so smart. The best "devs"? LOL Why is Kondik already working on the GS4? He's the best in my book, along with Outler.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] c5satellite2:
Yes I am actually. I'm an IT professional for over 20 years, have a strong background in digital photography as well. I do this for a living. I am not a hobbyist, I am an educated professional. Say what you want, I have heard worse from better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] akira02rex:
I guess we come from the same background. You assumed I was a hobbyist? Do you always make poor assumptions?

Explain your IT professionalism. Tell me what happens when your iPhone user on activesync exchange 2010 can't send an attachment over 48kb needs to be done. Quick, it's an easy one!

But... Congrats man! Rock that HTC One, it's a very nice device!

When I try to change my wallpaper and lock screen, using Gallery, with a High Res image, the wall paper looks compressed and very low res. The cropping even doesn't match the crop lines I set, its a much smaller area. Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?

The lockscreen looks fine though and is as clear as I expect.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djdoubt03:
My AT&T S III has been rooted for several months now with a "Device Status: Normal". I used the [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel] method. I have noticed that when I install some apps the require ROOT the Device status changes to Modified, when I uninstall apps like that normally device status returns to normal. Last night I installed something and device status went to Modified, after installing all apps I installed the device status stayed Modified? Any Ideas I do not feel like doing a stock reflash.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Does it really matter? Why would you reflash for that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
There is just no reason for you to reflash anything. Modified does not mean anything in terms of usability or function. Should you need a warranty repair, you should be flashing stock factory firmware (unrooted) anyway and that will place the status back to normal.

This is common. If it bothers you, just don't root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djdoubt03:
Lol.. Just trying to find out why some apps trigger the modified status when the original root job didn't trigger it. More or less a quest for knowledge.
