I just traded my second htc one today for a s4 I had it in April, but had a iPhone moment so i let it go. But ended up with it one last time.

My opinions are the cam was actually very nice,if not equal to s4, htc regardless of what anyone says has better radios always ...much stronger signal second to Motorola , speaking of moto of course theyd be #1 on signal they practically invented radios/walkies etc.....

The battery life was very good .I hate htc sense ui.I think touch wiz vs sense is always a love hat we relationship, in the end Tw feels better.

Htc one audio has all phones beat hands down.The one was much heavier also.

The only reason I went to the s4 is cause it has ir blaster feature if it didnt id have ran the htc to the ground.

S4 is looking good so far.

Lol dna sucks on t mobile, tried it twice. Stupid signal loss on hspa.

This is why carrier branded phones always get better signal than using the same carrier on a unlocked device.

Its never the same as using your carriers branded device.

:thumbup:to htc one and s4 both quality piece's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nismo_q:
S4 + CM10.1 = Awesome

Got the phone and within hours flashed to cm10.1. Never looked back since.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zorprime01:
I'm just impressed since the s3 and It was one nightmare after another since the my touch 4g, the amaze and it left me with bad impression on htc products
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
I had (still have a Galaxy Nexus) and really loved it, though it was getting somewhat laggy. Probably more my tinkering that the actual phone.

My first Android was the HTC Nexus One. I thought that was an unmitigated disaster, seeing the ridiculousness of making a smartphone with a completely subpar touchscreen. But I wanted to give HTC another chance.

I read the gizmodo review of the H1, which they just absolutely loved. The camera shots were fairly impressive too. "THE" best android phone at the moment, they exclaimed. So after calling several T-mob stores, I finally found one that had it and bought one.

It was zippy and a gorgeous phone. But then I realized I did not care one iota about what Sense 5 had to offer. (i.e. I don't give a damn about social media. I'll check FB and Twitter when I want to, not everytime I turn on my phone).

Then I read most every other review out there, which strongly favor the S4. Other reviews show the S4 camera superior to the one on the H1. In my 3 weeks with the H1, I was vastly under-impressed with the camera. It had some nice features, but not enough. Maybe those will improve with software upgrades, which they just rolled out (the day after I return my H1 of course). Then they announced the Google edition H1, which made me optimistic, but that doesn't change the hardware. I hated the strange implementation of the home and back pseudo-buttons at the bottom also.

My H1 also had a thin gap at the top (aka gapgate), enough where I could stick a sheet of paper in between the metal and plastic sandwich.

Eventually I felt I had made a mistake when the touted advantages of the H1 made no difference to me:

1. Nicer speakers --> I'm not going to watch any damn movies on my 5" phone, not when I have a 52" TV and 10" tablet. I'm not using it as my boombox.

2. ?nicer camera --> Didn't find that to be the case at all.

3. Metal --> Don't care, I found it weirdly slippery and heavy.

I returned the H1 and picked up the S4 last week (had to shell out $50 in restocking and another $50 in purchase price difference), but now I'm vastly happier.

Now I can't stop checking the temperature and humidity, haha :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dugan1017:
My wife and I just upgraded our S2's. After LOTS of reading and back and forth in my mind, I ultimately got her the HTC and the S4 for me. In my opinion, both are nearly flawless. The ultimate decider for me was simply how I use my phone, and I had to have the ability to keep a fully charged spare battery (I actually got 2 extras) and swap on the go.

My wife has no such need since she doesnt use her phone like I do, and the battery life that she's been getting is remarkable.

I was also counting on the fact that I think developing and custom ROMs will proably br more prevalent on the S4.

I am in love with my S4, but I still like to fiddle with my wife's HTC every once in a while and get a little jealous of hers. I think it all depends on how you use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devsk:
I got myself an S4 and my wife an HTC One just like the poster above. I am jealous for several obvious reasons...:) but happy too because S4 is better in many regards, and just works better for me. Many of these pros and cons have been pointed out already by other posters.

But overall, I think HTC One is a master piece of a smartphone. Its a first and its a unique phone. There is nothing like it in the market right now, be it the camera or the front speakers or the overall design and aesthetics. Its just a class apart. The non-replaceable battery and no storage expansion sucks but the biggest downer is 4.1.2 ROM. I mean 4.2.2 has been out more than 6 months.

Samsung should hire the design engineers from HTC...;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I don't like the button layout on the HTC and screen size is puny compared to the S4. Another pretty big factor was the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
This was my very first smartphone purchase, so I had to weigh all the factors. In the end, I went with the S4 because....

-It has removable/expandable memory. I plan on using my phone for a LOT of media consumption, and depending on the cloud to store all my stuff won't do it for me since I'm going to use T-Mobile on a 5GB/month data plan. Spotty coverage and limited data means cutting down on cloud usage.

-Removable battery. I figure carrying a spare battery ensures I can go a whole day of heavily using all these awesome phone features and apps without worrying about getting tied back down to a wall outlet.

-Better hardware like the CPU, RAM, Camera (for the most part it seems), and sensors.

-More software features. I can't wait to try out stuff like dual-shot and air view!

-The S4 has Mobeam, which should ensure I can largely replace my wallet and a lot of physical membership cards and just use the IR on my phone to purchase items and get discounts.

-It has a bigger screen while still maintaining a fairly small profile and a high pixel density.

-I prefer AMOLED/OLED to LCD on my TV's. All the issues not withstanding, I love the contrast ratios, the rich colors, and the saturation. It makes watching movies a blast. So I'll naturally prefer the same on the phone.

-From all the video reviews and articles I read, I think I'll end up preferring TouchWiz to sense. Once I use the fixes people have posted here and elsewhere to clear up the lag, the phone should be snappy. It will probably feel really snappy to me anyway since I've never owned a smartphone before.

Overall, as someone who is just entering the big boy league of the mobile phone market, it seems I couldn't have arrived at a better time. The S4 seems like the device for me to start with. If it turns out to be all that and more, I could see myself getting an S5 or whatever is the big kahuna next year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDreamFactory:
HTC One is a great looking phone and the performance is also sub par with Galaxy s4.

Yet, I chose S4 cause the cool gimmicks the S4 has which I never use lol.:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lyrical1278:
Maybe its just me, but Samsung has a better update record than htc. For their flagship devices anyway..

Plus, the s4 is more Dev friendly.. And Samsung dropped kernel source QUICK...

Either way, I still think htc did the right. Thing this go round by making the One multi carrier. Thats what hurt the One X. I do hope they do better as a company tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanCubano:
I chose the S4 for its removal battery, expansion slot, screen, and lineage of performance.

Every phone I have owned has been from HTC up until this point (HTC herald, espresso [my touch 3g slide], vision [G2], and pyramid [sensation]) and I felt like it was time for a change. It was with the sensation that I began to realize that HTC phones aren't being produced like they used to. The sensation had its issues with the touch screen which was fixed with aluminum foil on the contact points (but never 100%), reception drops, and source was never released until way after the phone was removed from shelves.

Edit: I forgot to mention that battery life wasn't that great on the phone either. I know that the battery can be swapped, but I shouldnt have to do that. It should come with a decent size battery from factory to compensate for that.

The phone still served me well, but I could not risk jumping into another phone with the off chance of having that happen again.

Buying this phone was absolutely the best choice to make. Out of the box performance and reliability is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Androidify287:
Both the HTC One and GS4 are great devices. I wanted the S4 mainly because of the removable battery and expandable storage. I couldn't live without the expandable storage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tdeljr:
Here's my story, I went through a faze & got the iphone 5 (dont flame) had it for three weeks and sold it on ebay. Because of this I had a couple of weeks of using a old phone that we keep just for occasions like this. My choice was a vibrant or a sensation. Stuck a sim card in the sensation and had nothing but trouble, battery would die within 3 hours, constant reboots, no matter what rom I flashed it just wouldnt work. Pulled the sim & put it in the vibrant flashed super nexus rom & did not have one problem for the 2 weeks that I used it. I know that the sensation is a great phone, but just for the fact that I can pull out a three year old phone flash a new rom on it & have it run like it was three weeks old not 3 years old just put me over the edge with my decision to get the s4. because I was really having a hard time deciding. Sorry so long, but thats my story.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
For me it was almost a forced decision to pick the S4 of the One because I had the One S and charging and gps use would cause the phone to over heat and have the same issue.

I was talking to a rep from HTC that had a few of the new One devices and that still has the same problem.

I don't use GPS often but when I need to use it I don't want to be messing around with it. I need it to just work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thachosenone:
The are no real led/amoled tvs widely available. Many market their lcd tvs as "led" b/c of their led backlight options.

There are tvs with high contrast ratios that are still lcd with led backlight, but NO full LED or AMOLED tv.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stirfry20:
I hope HTC dies.... not really, but it's amazing how I tried swyping does after HTC on the Samsung keyboard, but got dies instead. Looks like Samsung showed me their real colors today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Primary reasons..

exSDC & Battery Access (Obvious)

Better specs - I can plug in external speakers

Megapixels (don't care that side by sides seem comparable, 4 is seriously pathetic.)

I've had HTC phones in the past and was always been hit or miss for minor issues. I use Samsung parts all the time for PCs and know that they are usually have good higher spec devices for less price and a medium to low build quality. (which is fine for a phone because I always immediately throw a case on them.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
1. MicroSD support.

2. Better and detachable battery.

3. Bigger screen.

4. More features such as Air View and other smart features. Some of them are not useful but it's good to have them there.

5. Better ROM support. I believe Samsung rolls out update faster than HTC and Samsung sold more devices, hence has more experiences in building a better ROM.

6. Better quality (personal opinion). And metal casing get scratches easier.

7. Better performance. 1.9GHz is faster than 1.7GHz, not to mention Exynos 5 Octa is faster than Snapdragon 600.

8. Better camera. I do believe there's a difference between 4MP and 13MP.

9. More choice of accessories (3rd party accessories such as case).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 14erclimb:
My reasons are the same as many others have said: Removable battery, SD slot, 13 megapixels, etc. But HTC also screwed the pooch with their supply issues because I went to the store about 70-30 in favor of the S4. If they had any HTC Ones for me to look at it might have had a chance to sway me. Oh well, I'm very happy with my S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] realbreezy:
looks like most people are happy with their s4...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the GS4 has the latest major version of Android (4.2.2 Jelly Bean) out of the box, ready to use from day one. The HTC One, did not. And most likely is still delayed...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobbieRobski:
My dad is telling me about a problem when he misses a call, people leave a vm but there is no record of a missed call.

I tested this. I called him, he didn't answer, I left a message and hung up, the call did not show up as a missed call. my caller id is not blocked.

I tried calling him a different time and this time pushed decline on the call and left a vm, it recorded that and showed caller id.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Did the first call test never show up in notification? was there a voicemail notification at least?

Is this stock or rooted/custom rom? What software version?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobbieRobski:
It's a stock rom

4.1.1 with Sense 4+, it doesn't say there are any software updates.

My phone only goes into charging mode when I plug it in to my computer. Anyone have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Have not had this problem myself. Try another USB charger? Just about anything that's 500mA will work (albeit not nearly as fast as the 2.0 amp charger that came with your phone).

I suspect your charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tawalla:
It was the cable. I really didn't suspect it would be that since I have barely used it and I've only had it for two weeks. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Good to hear it was a simple solution. You might check with the place you purchased it from to see if they will provide a new cable. I guess we can just be glad you didn't find out about the cable during the middle of an Odin flash... o_O
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tawalla:
No kidding. That would hurt a little
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] knoxrents:
I am now having this problem after my phone got wet. No AC or DC chargers will work but the phone will always charge from a computer or even the USB interface of a car.

Even if I can get an AC or DC charger to be recognized, the phone will show as charging but the battery will continue to decline.

It is making no sense to me though I assume getting the phone wet partially fried something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Jnewell05:
Yeah the voltage is increased to charge you battery when on AC power, at the kernel level. USB voltage is lower. So i'd say surely fried, and will no doubt stop working sooner or later.

I know that on my s2 I had an issue where it would say its charging and when I woke up in the morning no charge at all. The pin/row of pins or bar if you will would bend down and not make good contact. I used a tooth pick to pry up on it every time it did that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] knoxrents:
Thanks. I didn't realize that the charging port was removable on the S4 so I swapped that out and all is fine now. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Ummm... No its not the voltage. It is the ID pin. The voltage stays the same. The only actual difference is the milliamp mAH output of the charger. A normal USB plug has 500mA our charger has 2000. How the phone tells the difference? The 2 data pins inside he charger are shorted together. The voltage always stays the same.
