[HTC One X] miHah:
As I said, everyone has his own point of view.

It is not like i'm emotionally attached to service center at all. From users point of view I never had any problems with HTC.

I am sorry to hear about your poor experience. Are you a developer and HTC did something to you that hurt your feelings? Too bad. Go get Samsung than, maybe they will treat you better.

About HTC in my opinion: small company that makes awesome phones (design and SW) in comparison to "mainstream" and "boring" big companies like Apple and Samsung. That is why I like them - they are not afraid of changing things, design and everything. They are struggling but they are still donating money (http://www.letsgomobile.org/en/3488/china-sichuan-earthquake-donation/ AND http://www.slashgear.com/htc-chairw...ts-to-young-women-in-southeast-asia-28279650/). That makes me feel like I am part of something good and although all companies have their lacks and you have to choose between all of them..I choose HTC.

You can choose among others. And I hope you will be satisfied :)

Now I only said one thing.

If you are not pleased with the premium materials for body. ( so you want a plastic toy phone). And you all the time want the brand to lick your a.ss. Just go to the Samsung, they will do. The HTC not, for why? Because this phones not need to be upgraded. Yes it's good if its upgraded, but not needed because this phones are awesome for now and for many years with stock system.
[HTC One X] jamm513:
This is my answer for you:

1. They don't improve performance - Better performance than Samsung, LG and Sony (Tested)

2. They do update just for one year - that's not true, HOX have more than a year in market whit many updates and coming more

3. Phone is heating when you doing simple tasks, like web browsing. So when phone is heating so it drain battery. - My hox is cool like my frezeer doing everything.

4. Is hard to replace battery or open phone. - new Google politics, and others like sony are doing the same.

5. Where not a lot accessories - there is the necesary accessories, what they don't have?

6. Gorilla screen brakes so easy and if brakes, touch screan doesn't work - Hox is a very resistive phone, much than samsung and iPhone (I had an accident on my motorcycle and my hox went flying to the asphalt and absolutely nothing happened.)

7. Plenty app which I don't use and this apps drains battery. You can't remove it - you can remove the app you want, if you do not know how to do it is another thing.

8. Where no online service, like HTC sence - we dont need it, we have Google services and Dropbox, why more?

9. Usb socket is in wrong position. Isn't comfortable - usb socket is the right place (side), only samsung and iPhone used at the bottom of the phone

10. Where is no many future comparing with samsung s4. Like eye tracking, like answer call with hand wave. - HTC sense has many features, but points more to the social and multimedia platform, is a choice. According steven Kondik (Cyanogen) Touch wiz on the s4 seems froyo, but HTC sense 5 as more friendly, modern and pleasant to use.

11. Phone unlock itself even then you have pin lock- m8 your phone have serious problems that others dont have

12. Sometimes phone shutdown when is in pocket. - again: m8 your phone have serious problems that others dont have

to finish, if you see the reviews the Best phone at the moment is a HTC phone, The HTC One.

I eventually got round to rooting my i9505 the other day and now I'm looking for an AOSP ROM that has the Samsung camera, video player and other useful apps. Has anyone seen anything among the numerous options available that offers this?

Cheers.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
not gonna happen... best you'll manage is a touchwiz rom with JB domination theme...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcnob:
So at very best, a GE ROM or even CM10.1 with the Galaxy camera APK that I've seen mentioned would be a good start!?!?

Sent via telepathy
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorge_rui:
I will leve that. To many good features are does not exist on custom Roms that are already available in the ugly and not usable touchwiz interface
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
sure but half the features on the camera don't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcnob:
And that's the only thing putting me off taking the plunge at the moment. I think I'll just start with getting some bloatware off there as it is and see how that goes.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] amit@12:
1.It is recommende to install kies so that your phone drivers are installed properly.

2.If it fails you can use kies air via wifi to connect

3.if the problem is not gone try restore factory settings

It was available on the playstore for like 10 mins and was pulled,but i got the link from Androidpolice. I posted the link for Androidpolice in the op

Wonder if issues were what caused it to br pulled. Ran it an opened and locked just fine though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ®AndroidDoctor®:
Runs fine for me too, been running it for a lil bit. So i thought i just post it for other people to get a look at it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
It's one of the apps downloaded by Sprint after initial activation. You can still check it out in the Play Store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s3ff3r:
Maps automatically updated from the Play Store today on my S4, it says it is being rolled out slowly so maybe just a select number of downloads at a time while they test it? Not sure.

I like and dislike the new update.

The new UI is pretty smooth and clean.

However they removed the option for zoom buttons. You used to be able to decide if you wanted to display them or not, now there is no option what so ever. However they've added a little help file that shows all the gestures and one i was unaware of (or maybe it is new, probably not) is double tap and hold then drag up to zoom in and drag down to zoom out. Makes up for the lack of buttons I suppose since you can still zoom in/out with one hand/finger.

Another thing I'm a little sour at google for sending the way of the dinosaur is latitude. I always enjoyed stalking my friends, but they've decided to kill latitude altogether. I got an email from google today:

So looks like now in order to stalk friends they must use google+ and enable location sharing. Oh well.

Otherwise I am pleased with the changes.

does anyone else not have the explore tab, cause i cant get it on my phone or tablet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
I'm waiting to see how long it takes to get updated on my phone, nothing yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Got the update yesterday... and I must say I am impressed. UI is fresh and clean. I like it better, good job Google.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sinkdrain:
Explore is not showing up for me either. Spent all day trying to trouble shoot it but no luck yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ®AndroidDoctor®:
My explore shows up when it wants too, Idk its weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phistyle:
Where is the contacts tab...there used to be a tab u can viewed all your contacts with addresses and now its gone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3wThr33:
I removed V7 of Google Maps and left a scathing review.

They broke Navigation. It's worthless to use while driving now and not vehicle-friendly in the slightest.

I could go into details, but it's easier to say it's just shockingly terrible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dh350nwo:
Details would be nice so the user base can compare notes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sinkdrain:
No accessing contacts

My explore tab isn't showing up

No more full route view with traffic

No latitude

... but it looks good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oohaylima:
Love it. I like the options and the explore tab should show up at the bottom left. That's where it is for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Scout replaced TeleNav completely. TeleNav is no longer supported.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Still no update here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3wThr33:
Alright.

1) Alternate routes are FAR more cumbersome. Instead of being able to pick it on the fly, you have to back out ENTIRELY out of Navigation back to the maps search results.

1a) In landscape mode, you have to drag a box that takes up less than 1/4 of the screen to see the other possible routes. Twitter is full of people confused how to even find other routes. It is literally the worst implementation of a scrolling list I've ever seen. It's like they didn't even bother to use this in a car before testing it.

2) All your shortcuts are a merged single list mess. No more starred list, recent list, and contact list. And they're merged terribly

3) The contrast has been blown to smithereens. Originally white text on a black background, it's light gray text on a white background

4) The actual display is a waste of space. No longer can you quickly tap to see miles left. No, it's a 3-time toggle between time left, distance and time of arrival, regardless of the fact that on a 4.3" 1080p screen there's MORE than enough room to display all 3.

5) No long can you see the road you are on on the default screen

6) The "Don't ask me about this again" checkbox for Wi-Fi reminder still asks me about it again every time

7) The implementation for offline maps is so poor, I'd barely call it working. Telling people to say "OKAY MAPS"? No. NO.

8) They removed the terrain layer.

9) They remove the measure buttons. They removed the zoom buttons.

I could go on, but really, this is either Google Maps Lite, or Google Maps XL for Tablets and they published it incorrectly. Either way, I see no reason to use it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
Has anybody received the actual ota update from the play store? I believe that since the Android Police leak, Google has updated the maps app twice. Latest update shows date of July 11.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrWicked1:
Yeah it was the 10 or 11th when I got my last update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
Nice, I haven't received any update yet.

I used navigation yesterday, worked fine imo. What was your issue?

No update here yet. My coworker got it on his S3 though.

What is this "explore tab" that people are talking about? And how do I access it lol?

Still no update. How many have actually received the update from the Play Store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
I'm still waiting as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
I did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3wThr33:
Read my post with the details after. Saved Shortcuts are a mess, there's no more route changing. It's way to easy to cancel out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tones160:
Can we just get the apk for this update??? Lol i hate waiting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sinkdrain:
Had a chance to use it more driving back from the beach.

Prior to this update i used to tap the clock to get an overview of the route with traffic info. You can still do this with an extra tap. Now you push the three dot menu button then route preview.

I miss being able to access my contacts but i discovered my contacts will show up if i search for someone

The explore banner will not show up in every location. While i was on vacation at a major beach it was missing... now that I'm home it's showing up. It is definitely location limited.

It did predict a three hour drive during rush hour amazingly well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BamAlmighty:
Anyone even see a APK for a latest version of Maps release yesterday or the day before?

I'm surprised androidpolice didn't offer it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrWicked1:
Here just pulled the apk from my phone for you all http://www.4shared.com/android/CknWXSPu/Maps.html

Let me know if theres any problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Imaginos:
New version no longer allows use of .kmz or .gps files off the web. I use those for kayak trips and waypoints so people can navigate with phones.

Most people don't know you can do things like that, so here is an example: http://goo.gl/maps/RT163 a year's worth of kayaking trips overlaid on google maps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tones160:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
Me too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dh350nwo:
Yeah, update sucks. Navigation is useless unless you input a destination, which makes using the traffic layer useless if you are just driving around or you already know your route. Uninstalled update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtom2444:
Completely agree. Navigation feels so much worse after the new update. Hate the new look, search takes longer to load and, not sure if this is just a coincidence, but in about 5 attempts to navigate somewhere, twice did it give me a route that went way out of my way, I'm talking like 15 additional minutes. Same places I've navigated to before the update and only now is it giving me these routes.

Finally, the phone's menu button doesn't work. I have to keep pressing the on-screen menu button on the bottom-left of the screen. Bleh. :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ®AndroidDoctor®:
But u still got to remeber its a work in progress, its one of the biggest updates the maps have ever got, i agree that its not perfect and somethings are missing. but they did say fixing and some feature will return in the future. iam give it a shoot and see how they upgrade it from people's feedback before i write it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
I agree this is a steaming pile of crap. I couldn't figure out at first how to use navigation. The bloody thing kept wanting me to sign in. I don't need to help you keep track of where I've been. When I finally got it to accept my address I was looking for, it tried sending me down streets that don't exist. Good thing I backed up the previous one with TB. Are you sure this isn't apple maps in disguise?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BigJPNut:
7.0.2 running great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Nevell:
I concur. Its running great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
7.0.2 works great for me. Way faster and way more accurate. I had issues with the one from Android police so I uninstalled and waited for the official from the Play Store. Now it works great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smiss:
dont see any masive changes but it works on my s2. thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3wThr33:
I love the disparity here.

Either people update it and notice the new bigger cleaner screen and say they love it, or they decide to try to use Navigation, and then completely lose their ****, because of how terrible it is.

I think people who don't use Navigation fully understand how backwards and broken the new UI is. This isn't a matter of finding new options. It made the device unusable while driving, which is crippling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtom2444:
Are Maps and Navigation one application now? I launch one, hit the home button then launch the other and it's the same app.

Also, why can't I just use Navigation like a GPS device without having to set a destination first? Before the update, I would launch Navigation and just have the map following my movements. Now, I can't seem to find a way to get it to show that view without setting a destination address first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galexandr:
I couldn't agree more. I use my phone for traffic every day, to and from work. Often to find alternative routes to avoid traffic. Can't do that any more. Additionally I loved having the preview option with time of arrival, can't do that.

Summary: new maps app sucks. May switch to 'Beat The Traffic' or Trapster. Any othe suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3wThr33:
I just reverted to Maps 6.1 with TB and unchecked Auto-update. But I might check out alternatives. Maybe even look at Scout... wow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galexandr:
Thanks for the tip. Didn't think of that. I'll update you if I find something that works for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
I'm not promoting or suggesting it but waze is another alternative. It does show traffic the last time I checked (months ago).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
Traffic works for me with Google maps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Google owns Waze.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cesardrgn:
it looks really cool!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
Really? I'm surprised I didn't catch that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
So, the basic maps app is pretty good, and definitely cleaner than the previous version. However, if you rely on navigation, it is absolutely terrible. Some of the problems that I've seen so far;

1. The new interface is overly complicated to use while driving. Everything is smaller, less intuitive, and takes more steps to accomplish.

2. Unreliable. If I lose data (happens often on Sprint), generally I get kicked out of navigation. When I try to get back into it, the entire app crashes. Unacceptable while driving.

3. I used to be able to find an alternate route from within navigation that took two taps. Now, I have to back all the way out and re-select the destination address from the very first screen, just to get different route options. If I just back out to the previous route selection screen, it is not refreshed based on my current location. For those of us who live in NYC/NJ and rely on Nav for traffic info, this is unacceptable.

4. I used to be able to preview the whole route, where traffic would be displayed by a thick colored line. Now, it is a tiny colored line that is impossible to see while driving, especially in bright sunlight. And getting a route preview takes more steps than it used to.

6. The supposed automatic re-routing based on real-time traffic has not worked for me, which makes some of the above changes even more annoying.

Basically, Google pulled an Apple here. They completely changed the whole app, took away most of the useful features, added a whole bunch of useless ones. Now, Google Navigation is absolutely unacceptable for me. Using it distracts me from the road significantly, which is unacceptable for an app designed to be used while driving. Why Google did this is beyond me. Luckily, Waze is still an excellent alternative, and despite being now owned by Google, they have not been adulterated yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
And waze doesn't have street view to see what the house or building looks like before getting there. I've used street view apps before but they were usually miss than hit. Haven't tried them recently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zeeshanaayan07:
Google Map is very help in all the smartphone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
6.14.13 for me. It works perfect and easy to use. The newest version is like an iPhone let's make 6 extra clicks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
I'll gladly trade Street View for a Nav app that works well and doesn't promote car accidents.
