[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] composi:
Have all three, imo its S4, G Pro, One in that order. Ever since development took off for the S4 and the lag was removed, S4 hands down is the best phone on the market (again, imo)...Optimus G Pro was a huge surprise as its an EXCELLENT phone with a great screen and decent battery (nowhere near as good as Note 2, right on par with S4)...the only issues I have with G Pro is reversed capacitive buttons and the screen is impossible to see outdoors, which is when I simply grab my S4 and go...the One is a great phone, I just got too used to physical home button and multi-tasking (through multi-window or Q Slide), plus I really, REALLY don't care for Sense in any of its iterations...G Pro volume is low even with an aux cable in my car, but fine with Bluetooth, S4 is loud, and One is loud. Clearly One wins design, but if functionality is what you want, I'd go with S4 and G Pro every time.

HTC one is also releasing a Google edition this summer so choice is narrowed down again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neo_styles:
I was another one of those guys on the fence between these three phones. Ended up ruling out the LG for two reasons: I can't stand the gov't issue LG phones they gave us to use at work and I really don't think I can handle lugging around a phone with a 5.5" screen in my uniform all day.

So that put me between the One and S4. While the one is favored for its front-facing speakers and LCD3 screen, it features no removable storage or user-accessible parts. Have a failed battery? Too bad, need to replace your entire phone. Need more space? Too bad, you only get what's on it (even though 64GB isn't too shabby). So, yes, the One is basically the iPhone of the Android world that just so happens to already have a decent amount of development now, but what will it be like when HTC moves on to whatever new phone it chooses to support? Those of us who owned an Evo knows exactly what I'm talking about.

That being said, the consumer-level development on the One is impressive. They've managed to remove the menu bar for apps that aren't ICS-compliant (Viper will, for one) and allowed you to finally bring the clock speeds back up to be comparable to (if not better than...at your own risk) the S4.

I will personally stick with the S4. There's always a bigger push for development for Samsung's phones, they tend to have better resale potential, and I will actually benefit from a user-accessible battery and SD card storage. Since the S4's SD slot is SDXC-compatible, should they manage to find an ability to have a cards' size in excess of 64GB, you've got MONSTER potential for storage.

One more vote for the S4, and not one from a Samsung fanboy. I was reluctant to decide on it after my Epic 4G was an Epic FAIL, but I feel it's the superior phone for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thdaddy34:
I would opt for the Samsung Galaxy S4 just because there is more development in it other then the other two phones. Also IMO the phone is much easier to use and has a smaller learning curve then the HTC One. The lag on the S4 truly sucks but for some reason I feel the lag is going away with time or as apps update so maybe the problem is getting taken care of. I primary feel the lag when receiving text messages. I use the iPhone as my benchmark for software and smoothness and the Galaxy Note 2 was the closest android phone to iPhone in terms of stability lack of lag and reliability. I thought samsung was taking things in the right direction but I feel they took a step back with the S4. Hopefully they redeem themselves!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] XGhozt:
For me, it came down to how I was going to use the device. Rarely do I play games or watch movies/tv on my phone, so why would I need front facing speakers anyway? I have a bluetooth stereo speaker if I want to listed to music with friends (jawbone). The ability to replace the battery, sd-card, and the lack of a MENU button pushed me over the top for the ONE. With the LG, it ended up just plain being too large, I have enough tablets in my life. The S4 actually isn't that big, the screen is just bigger because there's a smaller bezel. That left me with one choice, the S4, as much as I hate the rounded corners and plastic feel, the first thing we all do is put a case on it anyway. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Really? Cause there's no proof of that rumor. HTC denied it anyways so yeah.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

The note 2 was laggy as first too. It'll be fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
S4 is a piss poor release from Samsung. Let's all get our fanboy hats off for a minute. It will be a good phone do to custom roms and devs supporting like CM. People jumped all over apple for releasing iPhone 5 which was similar to iPhone 4s. Samsung copied and did same thing with s4 compared to s3. Note 2 was stable and lack free from day one I had it and used it every day from first day of release until sgs4 was released. I do have an sgs4 and samsung could have done much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
The gs4 and gs3 was a pretty decent jump. you talk about it so negatively... why do you have it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
I have all the newest phones but I also am unbiased and don't stick to one brand or phone and call it like it is. With time and with custom roms sgs4 will be good. It is not my daily driver until cm10.1 comes out for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thdaddy34:
It just blows my mind how Samsung got it so right with the Galaxy Note 2 and couldn't replicate it with the Galaxy s4. I would assume all they had to do was take a product or software that was one of their best and improve it but instead they made it worse. I am really hoping for an update to be released soon to fix many of the software glitches. I am also wondering if this is more of an American galaxy s4 problem that's the international version does not suffer from or A cross-platform problem. But other than the occasional lagginess the Galaxy s4 blows away the competition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Same for me. I had the One IPhone 5 and the galaxy note 2 and this is my favorite by far. The lag isn't too bad at all especially with custom kernels and such. Why use cyanogenmod with this though?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
To be honest my phone is really lagging I may have a bad unit to be honest I am hoping cm10 will fix this or some custom tw rom. But phone is perfect screen size and size for phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I've had 3 total and one did lag much more then the others so maybe you have like a bad batch or something? Weird
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thdaddy34:
To be honest I have played with the LG optimus and I liked it very much. My primary concern with LG is that it is not yet a premier or well-known smartphone developer for Android. They really need to show significant success and constant updates of their software for me to buy into their phones. I felt the Optimus was very smooth and reminded me a lot of vanilla Android.

HTC One Google edition:

Saw that on google+ lol nice. Now there's 2 phones on Google. I hate Aosp though but if the drivers are all there I'll be getting it on my s4 once a port is out an official one that is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] capathy21:
Like you and many others I was/am facing the same decision. I would love to be able to have more than one of the latest phones at a time but I am lower middle class:) I had the Nexus 4 which I liked but got bored with. After a lot of research between the S4 and the ONE I picked up the S4 yesterday. So far its great. I have no lag and the form factor is perfect. I don't think people really appreciate what Samsung did by making the screen larger and making the actual device smaller and lighter. It doesn't compare to the Iphone 4/4s because they released the same exact form factor. I still look at the ONE and in the back of my mind I know I have those 14 days to make sure I choose the best device. As of now I think I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Kurant1:
Not that this is at all helping your choice.

But I originally got the HTC One, and loved it. I returned it and traded it for an S4, and really regret that now.

I love the features of the One, as I am not at all a touchwiz person and I'm going to be using AOSP anyway, so I don't care about all the little nick nack features that are all but useless to me. I'd trade it today if I could find someone who wants to give up their One. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyolson92:
My wife has htc one and I had optimus pro. Both are better options than s4. The htc one is simply the best phone! Wish it had a 5.5" screen. In hind site I returned the optimus pro for Samsung software on this s4. Big opps. Pro has much less crap and lg software works better. Nothing touches htc though. If you need big screen go pro otherwise htc!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] colts187:
I've had all 3. Get the g pro believe me. Unless u want dev support of course. But as far as out of the box it's the best easily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] acruxksa:
I don't know much about either the HTC one or the optimus pro.

I do have an older HTC phone (HD7S) It's build quality rocks and it's as durable as a tank.

What I would say is that choosing a phone for sound quality based on 128kbps or 192kbps audio rips is silly. If you're truly worried about sound quality you should be using a lossless codec like FLAC or ALAC.

If you're using a lossless codec, the HTC one's lack of an SDCARD slot is going to severely limit the amount of music you can actually hold on the phone so unless you want to spend a bunch of time moving FLAC files back and forth between your phone and your computer your going to have to cough up the extra cash for a 64GB version because the 32GB version isn't going to hold very much music.

Enter the 16GB S4 w/64GB sdcard, I've got 35GB of music on my phone and plenty of room for everything else. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
I have an S4, GF switched from One to S4. We both came from S3's.

look around for QC issues when you check them out. GF got the One at first, but then decided 32GB wasn't enough storage space and hers had a single dead pixel on the screen, and she complained the capacitive buttons didn't work right, though they worked just fine for me. She ended up with an S4. Others have complained about screen issues or easily breakable screens, or cheap feel on the S4; neither of ours have screen 'issues', and im used to having plastic phones; heck half the people i know that were so proud of their iPhones put those awfully huge cumbersome Otterbox covers on them (and many STILL managed to crack the screens; no saving any phone from a klutz). I have an ANCIENT HTC Tilt/TYTN II which was built like a tank and a phenomenal phone, loved a lot of HTC Android devices others had too; im a newcomer to Samsung (the Galaxy S 3 was my first Samsung product. EVER.)

I have been an HTC fan for years, but for me its a matter of practicality; i usually have 2-3 64GB microSD cards and an adapter in my wallet with all sorts of stuff on them; the HTC One can't use them. I dislike the idea of Cloud/remote storage; i travel a lot to work in remote far off places. Places with no internet access or cell coverage, so having some movies or music and a spare battery is very nice. I also like the extra sensors, if only because they are there, i find myself intentionally using them. I also really liked that smart stay and smart rotation actually work (same with the S3), and the IR blaster is the single best feature after the display (movie mode is almost sRGB/Rec709 standard), air gesture, multi window, air view, etc i dont use, the swipe for screenshot seemed so damn logical to me on the S3 i even tried doing it on my friends' iPhone once.

Check them both out, then physically inspect the one they give you at the store, whichever you go for.

Hi all. First post on the One forum. Great phone so far, but only had it a day. Can anyone tell me what the hell is taking up nearly 8gb or my 32gb storage. This is obviously all the storage we have and if it's the system that is taking it up...well...I'll not be happy!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
Yes, that is the system files. I think on my US TMO one it used up about 5 or 6. I remember having 27 Gb, but I had installed a couple of apps by the time I thought to look.

EDIT: You can look for a custom ROM that has less bloat, or you can root and uninstall files from the storage.

You can use 28GB for your app/music/photo etc.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
That is about right for my US system as well, but evidently the OP had 8 Gb used up on his phone.
