[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Paging Dr B:
Nice to hear that update. I too miss the LED notification that the S3 has. It's nice having something, but Samsung really nailed the notification LED. I can live with the size of the LED on the One, but it would be nice to have more of it, and different colors for different notifications.

I also agree with the daytime photos. The One is good enough for my needs but the S4 does indeed pull in a great amount of detail.

I do however love "boomsound". I watch a lot of videos on my phone and can clearly hear the difference between the One, my GS3 (which I still have), and my Z10. It might not be louder than the other two, but man it just sounds better. If you do a blind sound test, you can clearly pick the One over the others.

HTC Could have really put a dent in Samsung's sales if they'd included an 8 "ultra pixel" camera.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] altimax98:
Some of the things I agree with about the One. But I have a few pointers, I see no reason whatsoever why you're are getting noise on the One. The sensor is far to large to get noise unless you are in low light where it stills blows away other devices. Check your settings.

I've been using the camera in mediocre light with no noise.

As for the LED it is pretty much useless, especially coming from the world's greatest in the Galaxy Nexus. What I did was root and flashed the kernel that enables the capacitive lights to blink on a notification and it doesn't shut down after 5 minutes.

Also I finally heard the difference today between beats on and off. The difference is night and day, you will lose a good quarter volume but the sound is worlds better. Loud < Quality.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ixrs:
I honestly thought I would be one of the few to get the One after having the S3. Looks like there are plenty!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] LatineDictum:
I don't get any noise on my One either.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] xxjrsmith3xx:
I think I'm going to get a HTC....
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] epsix:
Im using Galaxy S3 now, its a piece of crap. Im on vacation when the One isnt release yet. So I went and bought S3, will give this to my nephew.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] gooface:
I owned the S2 and the S3, then I bought the HTC One as well. The S4 is just full of useless gimmicks honestly, and they are marketing it as such. They didn't change much other than internal hardware compared to the S3 and the HTC One is a completely fresh new idea.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mr.orange303:
I think the S4 is a damn fine phone. However I've owned ever galaxy s and note series except the S4.

I needed the change. Just something different.

The ONE fit that bill perfectly.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] bricky23:
I agree. Both are good phones. I bought the one at Wal-mart. Saw that they had a 14 day return policy. I expected to check it out and return the phone. But today the 2 weeks is up, and I just can't make myself give it up. :o
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] seattletecg:
My latest phones iphone iphone 3g 3gs 4 4s htc sensation samsung galaxy s s2 note note 2 now the HTC one.

Samsung did screw up on their galaxy s3s (s4). I knew they were on this path without a better phone with metal body or any other material besides plastic. Even though most won't admit it people buy the HTC one because of its looks.

I too agree the galaxy note 2 is/was my most favorite phone ever since I got the first iphone in 2007 before that maybe the motorola rzr . The note 3 should not be bigger unless they make it narrower, The note 2 is still too wide.

I have been all samsung phones like you too. It wasnt really the koolaid it was because they did have the best phones since the s2.

HTC one camera sucks ass!

Yes i said it, ok low light its good, but its still 4 megapixels so if you're going to zoom at all there is no clarity.

Boom sound is overrated

my note 2 with volume mod is louder

I hate the HTCs notification!!!

I also hate the battery life. I'm biased because my note 2 lasts a day and half of heavy use without a charge yes 24 hrs + 12 hrs/

I also dislike the ceo of htc. Production delays (because of the 4 gigawiggle pixel) cost over a month of HTC ones sales they lost out on billions of sales!! because of the inferior camera. Why not just put a 8 or 13 megapixel camera??!??

I guess im a little angry because I bought HTC stock and because of the production delay it cost HTC its early lead before the S4 launch.

Both sides made huge mistakes

Samsung if they made the s4 with a metal build would have maybe crushed the htc one.

The HTC one lucked out that samsung didnt.

Because can you imagine if samsung's s4 came in a fancy new metal design?

HTC one metal design no microsd card no removable battery 4.7" screen

S4 metal design microsd card slot removable larger battery 5" screen
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] witeboy07:
I'm good with my s4,i love the design on the one, but I wouldn't be able to live without a extended battery. Both phones are awesome, up to user choice. I just hate people putting rants and complains and blah blah blah. Both phones are flagship phones, they both are new. They both are good.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] truestory31:
So basically Dan there is no pleasing you. HTC one hands down better device than s4. It seems you want perfection though , which you will never get.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Dan37tz:
Okay, here is a picture I took in front of my friend's house. In good lighting.

Can somebody tell me WTF is up with the HTC ONE camera? It looks like utter **** at 100 percent crop in full daylight condition.

Quality reminds of something you get from those $20 kids toy digital camera.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] seattletecg:
that looks bad real bad. settings must be off?

I have noticed when I take a pic say of a building with a phone number. When i zoom to read the numbers. the numbers are blurry. Not with my note 2 and i would assume s4 13 mp
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chakra:
Yes the HTC one pictures look like they were taken by a home made Lego camera. Very Very bad.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] erikiksaz:
The issue with the One's camera is actually the software. By default they enabled the continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter. I'm used to holding down the shutter to focus the image and then capture it.

The One's software doesn't focus very much when you just tap the shutter (although it does take some damn fast pictures). To get around the lack of a focus, you have to turn off continuous shooting.

It's stupid. They need to fix this. Especially when going up against great daylight-shooting cameras like the S4's.
[Galaxy S III General] phaniblaze:
Hi Folks!!! Samsung promised its Flagship devices Note-II and S3 a 4.2.2 update in the end of May 2013. Update includes most of the features available for Galaxy S4.

1. Real-time lingo-decoder S Translator.

2. Array of pointless camera features, such as Dual Shot, Dual Video

3. Smart Stay.

4. Smart Scroll.

5. S Health.

6. UI Changes including the Theme and Lock Screen Modifications in launcher.

Hope, Google's I/O 2013 can also bring out Note-II, S3 fantastic features a head...Fingers crossed..

[Galaxy S III General] dante501:
There is an update but it won't show on rooted phones. It will over Kies but it will not update the phone. It will just sit there and won't update.
[Galaxy S III General] realwillow:
Just checked, no update available past 4.1.2

At least not for this handset.

Stock rom, unmodified etc non branded sim free blah blah.
[Galaxy S III General] dante501:
Well not sure what to tell you. I get one over Kies for my s3 what doesn't update because handset was modified. And when I check on my s3 I get no updates allowed because it has been modified. If I wipe the whole phone the update shows on my s3 but again I can't install it.

This version
[Galaxy S III General] phaniblaze:
Well, you can get back to stock in download mode, flashing with odin respective firmware of your region...make sure you have flash counter reset to zero, if not use triangle away so that your device again becomes genuine. ...
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
That's a really old release of 4.1.2. There are loads of 4.1.2 updates since then. That will be what you are getting prompted for. You're 6 months out of date.
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
I've been wondering when were they thinking about releasing this since the leak has been around since february (i think) and the S4 has been released already. But to be honest, I couldn't care less about those "features" for an update, all i want is multitasking fixed. Which i'm fairly sure we won't get. Samsung should stick with fixing the basics instead or pushing out mostly useless crap. Guess i'll stick with aosp and just get a nexus at some point... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] dante501:
Well I use arhd anyway so mot really care about if it outdated. Just saying that I was promoted for updates quite a lot. But with a custom Rom I do not care.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Here's the fun fact of the day for you, we will not get s health because it requires hardware our phone doesn't have.

And another freebie the page they got that from was a fan page not an official one so it's all rumour nothing more.
[Galaxy S III General] dave4bren:
Heres a tweet...

Android 4.2.2 for high-range devices from June https://twitter.com/search/%23sgs3 :D
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
That's not really the point.

Your point was Kies tells you there is an update and that it must be 4.2

My point is you are on a 6 month old release. Any update Kies tells you available is not 4.2. It is one of the 30 4.1.2 releases newer than yours.
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
I did think about that since i read somewhere about the extra sensors involved, i just thought they'd adapt or disable functions that really required them or at least do it in a different way that wouldn't need said sensors - there's software to mesure heart rate with the camera, which isn't the most conventional way and, to be honest, if someone told me before that was possible i'd most likely dismiss it as a prank app/gimmick, but i did see it roughly working :p
[Galaxy S III General] :
Nexus 4: beautiful, will last longer than the S3, pure AOSP is gorgeous, CyanogenMod is it's soul mate, very small system yet simple, functional and more flexible.

Galaxy S III: beautiful but not as the N4, won't last more than two years, TouchWiz interface is kinda cool, but is very bloated with useless stuff, we need Samsung to do anything on the software, and it have a microSD slot.

N4: old Android user who knows how to play with the software. (and maybe the hardware from the kernel)

SIII: new Android user who thinks Smart Stay is a very impressive feature/likes Android and trusts Samsung/someone who can't buy the N4.

Both are good devices, but the N4 takes advantage in the experience and durability aspect.
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
The only part which makes the n4 worth it, is the SOC and that it has AOSP.

Everywhere you read the reviews and it has the worse 8mp camera.

Touchwhiz maybe somewhat over kill but it does offer a lot more needed features in my opinion. Not to mention the built in software apps to me are better on Stock TW. The camera app is a lot better on tw than aosp.
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
And...the display of s3 is much brighter. The battery stays longer + it's changable. The camera is much batter, and maybe out of the bench, just take n4 and s3 with aosp the whole experience overoll is better on s3...I have checked that out with 2 s3 and with 2 n4...n4 owners and TW/samsung haters have to stop the whole story about: "n4 is a s3 killer"
[Galaxy S III General] sachs:
Depends on opinion ... I think sucks.
[Galaxy S III General] abovebeyondgal:
i think also

nexus 4 is not that beautiful , s3 looks better .

nexus 4 weigh more , no sd card , no battery

my s3 has 32gb external sd and i think to buy 64 , i have a lot of pictures and music
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
It has an Sd card, an 8 or 16 GB internal one.

It does have a battery, else it wouldn't function.
[Galaxy S III General] abovebeyondgal:
dont be such a pedantic

i mean that i cant remove battery and there is no external sd card
[Galaxy S III General] htcsnap93:
Samsung Galaxy S3 also doesnt have an external SD card. Mine is fitted behind the removable back plate. I call that pretty internal if you ask me.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
You can remove the battery, though, but it's not gonna be easy. Still possible, though.

:good::good: :D

Go and S-OFF, why don'tcha! :D
[Galaxy S III General] ezekionokia:
I don't know what the fuss is all about.

Unless you're an upgrade junkie, 4.2.2 doesn't quite deliver some -can't-live-without-features for our phones.

If you are an upgrade junkie you most likely are rooted so you have access to the leaked 4.2.2.

So stop complaining just for the sake of complaining.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Agree not much to be bothered about with 4.2.2 and you will never ever please those that want an upgrade weekly .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
If you desperate people want weekly updates then you are better off moving to CM10.1
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
Maybe not but it has improved alot speed/performance wise. It feels alot smoother and I like the new menu interface
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Why make a lame answer to simple positive side to the s3. Having external storage helps in more ways then just having extra music or movies. When flashing a new ROM I can store it on there and remove the card. Flash my new ROM and make sure all is cleaned up before adding stuff back. Plus its a lot easier to share if you want to just take out your card and place it in another device.

The nexus 4 only has hype because its a nexus. No one seems to be all hunkly Dorie over the optimus g because we all know LG is probably the worse when it comes to support for their devices.

Hell I bet you the only reason they got the nexus 4 is because they got the lowest bid with the cheapest parts.

But enough said this is about the update in which we are entitled to because they promised it!
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
i want it in hopes of improved mutlitasking, battery and performance(and a few random reboots and fc ive been having)

i couldnt care less about the samsung features but thats my pov aniways
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Search the forums, there are a few devs trying to port all the s4 apps to the s3. We want the update also because there are apps that are more enhanced for our device.

My freinds s2 now has like most of the stuff that particular to the s3. Aka video player window!!

Crap! Im lost about how samsung updates work
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
One android revision (4.1.2) with a million updates to the same revision.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Does that mean only the latest would get 4.2? Or is it region based?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
That means Samsung ships a lot of updates with minor fixes for one android revision.

All regions will get up to android 5.0 eventually but the unbranded regions are a priority with Poland as the first country.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Thanks for the explanation dude

[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
They don't tell you what is working and what isn't, and I can't tell you from personal experience not a lot works without the temp sensor, humidity sensor and pedometer.
[Galaxy S III General] Dima_2005:
Well, the pedometer would probably work... It's just the G-sensor that detects the movement...
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
It would need a lot of recoding for it to work, not just giving it access to the accelerometer and gyroscope, the app needs to know how to interpret the inputs from them.

From my experience pedometers that use the accelerometer and gyroscope are very unreliable but that could just be down to bad coding.
[Galaxy S III General] phaniblaze:
But still, many of the techies and review bloggers believe that s3 is the best than the s4 which had useless crap.
[Galaxy S III General] tweetatoo:
Original poster has announced that the news are to be considered "rumor", as the source has been discovered to be a page for a fan of Galaxy Note II.

Besides, why do I need S Translator or Smart Scroll?! I find even the Smart Stay not practical, as I usually read eBooks before I sleep and I need to always keep it activated!

Not practical features, though interesting!
[Galaxy S III General] golti:
Hope its true.

[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Read the full report. It was made by a fan.

We are all waiting for this update impatiently but at least we will get 4.2.2 before any other non nexus devices
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Thats still uncertain until its announced, who knows, maybe sony or htc decide to release 4.2.2 for there devices while we wait for an announcement
[Galaxy S III General] xp3rto:
If so then a leak must be round the corner. Any betting?
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
No its certain due to each of their track records. Sony, HTC and others take a lot longer if not ever to release an update compared to Sammy. We will see the latest update months way before the rest.

Hey numbnuts, [MENTION=3655508]Theshawty[/MENTION] , why would Poland be the first country? :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
They always are, they're like a test country or something. They got 4.1.1 first and then got 4.1.2 first with ELKC.

That's why I'm betting they'll be the first country to get 4.2.2.

I'd appreciate if you quit with the names (numbnuts)
[Galaxy S III General] mikep99:

I think they (Samsung) have a big support team in Poland so it gets rolled out in that region first. Thats my understanding anyway...

And about the screenshot...will the s3 get the white menus, like settings? If not, something smells fishy with that screenshot!
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
My bet is that screenshot is a fake. Take note about the name of the firmware of the existent beta for the SGS3. All Samsungs 4.2.2 firmwares has an U (I9300XXUFMB3). All 4.1.2 has an E I9300XXEMC3.
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
And the kernel version? 3.0.31 again...? And the changelist it's the same as EMD2...
