Small screen?

4.7 isn't big but it's also not in any form of the imagination small. Unless you are comparing it to a phablet which isn't a phone its a phablet.

I had the HTC one when it first came out for 2 week's I sent it back due to problem's...Have the N4 now...for me I never really used the IR blaster ( never used it on my S4A also ) but if I had to choose Id get the nexus 5 the only thing IMO your losing is boomsound you get newer hardware and can and will most likely be cheaper off contract also then the ONE
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastfish:
just wanted to add that i really enjoyed the Beats audio and the boom sound speakers from the one.

im contemplating on selling it for the N5 idk yet =/

I have the HTC One GPE and had the Nexus 4 before. Except for stock Android and the guarantee to get the newest Android first the Nexus line is obsolete in my opinion. I saw pics of the N5 and it confirmed my choice. It looks pretty ugly and I don't care about the latest or best specs. I will get kitkat on my HTC pretty soon after release and have a beautiful device with pretty awesome specs.

Aint battery sh*t as hell on the one?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
Lol. In comparison to my N4 it is amazing on stock JB 4.3. I get easily 20h with medium use. I don't play games so not sure how it would be with very heavy use. Standby drain is also very low. I charge over night so everything longer than 24h makes no sense for my habits.

Without a doubt N5 just because of the HTC locked down bootloader sh*t.. And their retarded devsite to unlock it.. Not to mention their S-ON... crap. But it's just my opinion coming from a HTC One X endeavoru.

Bootloader is unlockable. It's easy as pie to unlock flash recovery s/off root on a HTC one. You just have to email and get a code from HTC which the respond immediately. S/off is simple and if you wanna there is even a toolkit that does it all just like a nexus toolkit.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
Depends on what each person is looking for. My opinion, I like Sense. Buying the One would give me the best of both worlds (Sense & AOSP). Yes, the N5 WILL have more dev support, but people shouldn't let that be the main determining factor. Get the phone that you really want.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casonswag:
N5 of course
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Don't forget that the One has the GPE that provides the Nexus experience with no trade offs. Personally the N5 will have to be amazing to make me give up my One. The aluminum body, front firing speakers and almost perfect screen are huge selling points for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mg2195:
Thats the One X...the people in this thread are talking about the One...not the x or x+...from my understanding htc got a lot nicer with the One when it comes to soff and unlocking...I remeber my HTC Vivid tho...had to freaking short the phone to get soff, so that made it a ome time deal for me as well

GPE phones (from my understanding) are not pure android like an actual nexus...at least with the sgs4 the GPE still has touchwiz frameworks in it...so its basically just themed aosp with features taken away...not sure about tue One but thats pretty much how it is for the SGS4...plus they updates still go through the manufacturer so you still have to wait for HTC to update (again according to my understanding...correct me if im wrong)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCDHBubbles:
Wether we talk about The One.. The One X it don't make a difference to me... sorry.. its just my opinion about HTC.

Overall HTC sort of F-ed up for at the end..

SOT probably means Screen On Time given the context of the discussion IMO
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
You are correct, they are not pure pure AOSP like a Nexus, but the One 4.3 build can no longer run any Sense based applications hinting at the lack of any Sense framework, unlike the 4.2 builds. Also the sizes are within a few mb of AOSP so they are very close. The main difference is the lack of drivers so building straight from AOSP is difficult. They also got the last 4.3 update within days of the N4 and in some cases ahead of N4s because of the staged rollout from Google
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericiidx:
I think the HTC One is an excellent phone, IF you can get your hands on a properly-built one. By this I mean:

- no gaps between aluminum and plastic antennae band

- no gaps between aluminum and screen

- no issues with camera focusing/discoloration

- no other physical defects/blemishes (scratches, chips, misaligned pieces)

The size of the complaint threads over in the HTC One subforum are a little frightening, and considering I ended up with an HTC One that exhibited ALL of the above problems, it seems as if it's a major QC issue.

At worst, it's a visually-imperfect phone that kicks ass in performance and looks, but takes worthless pictures... Until those gaps between the screen/digitizer and the body get so bad that you could easily peel the thing off. At best, it's a triple-A phone that I'd highly recommend.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
Yeah this is all very accurate in my experience as well. I got lucky from the beginning and my first had no build quality issues (gaps, screen, etc), but MANY were not so lucky. More recently they seem to have got their stuff together on QC but it was pretty bad before.

Of course pros and cons will be subjective, but I can tell you mine for whatever that's worth :)

I bought it over others for only 3 reasons: best feeling (premium) android phone, best (brightness, veiwing angles, color accuracy) display at the time (not really anymore, but if the N5 is OLED then it will be worse than the One), and the still unique speakers that do make a big difference.

What I don't like about it is the lack of SD card support, the absolutely sh*t camera (seriously, this is like 5 years ago bad), and the battery could be bigger (true for every device though).

I've never regretted buying it even once so far.

Also very much personal preference, but the N5 looks really ugly to me, but holy awesome price! (probably ;))
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electronical:
The main thing that appears to be the determining factor in your choice between the One and the Nexus 4 2013 is the "nexus experience". Well, that's pretty easy actually. On the One, you can get the best of both worlds; the best design and hardware on any phone right now and a stock Android experience. How can you do that? Well, you're on XDA, so it should be pretty obvious. Just unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. The One happens to have its Google Edition variant, so you can also enjoy the exact same experience as you would on a Nexus device. Here's what you want: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2356654

im also selling my htc one to get the n5..the only problem i have right now is it takes purple pictures at night..i didnt have that problem before..could be the rom or a faulty camera..didnt bother exchanging it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
After 5 replacements I fall into that perfect device category finally. It is a wonderful device if you get a good one. TBH it will be a decent tradeoff between the One and the N5. The One has the boom sound, (its amazing it took someone so long to design forward firing speakers), great screen and a killer feel. The N5 looks to be lesser in all of these categories but you will gain the Nexus experience, (hopefully better camera), and a more powerful device (SD800 is an animal).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
Go with the phone that have more of what you like. I prefer more options that why I buy samsung phones. If I liked the more simple clean stock Android experience ,I would get a nexus. At the end of the day both phones are bad azz. Quad core chips in both are fast and since there are no apps on Android pushing these phones power you won't notice any difference in speed anyways. Benchmarks are just that benchmarks they don't tell the entire truth with daily everyday use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
And every android manufacturer cheats on the benchmarks anyway ;)

But yeah honestly I think phones have got to a point where the differences in speed are pretty hard to notice...

I'm also considering selling my HTC one, but this thread reminded me of the IR blaster that I actually use. There's no IR blaster rumored to be on the nexus right?

But yeah, it if did have IR, I would probably jump to the nexus for better battery life, larger screen, and better cpu.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea so far nothing about an ir blaster on the n5. What type of battery do you get on your HTC One? I easily get 5 to 6 hours screen on time every day on my H1 which I would be ecstatic if the n5 can get that.

Battery has been horrible for me lately. I don't know the exact statistics, as I haven't bothered checking, but I can't make it through a day without charging 1-2 times. At one point it was a lot better. I think I need to try some different roms/kernals.

Like what others said.

Other than build quality issues with HTC, you might want to consider:

- BT connectivity of your devices like in your car, I find it's not as seamless as Apple, Samsung etc..

- Consider wifi, cellular data, signal performance

I think Battery is up for debate, but with Nexus devices, I always got below par performance, the question is how much of an improvement with N5. With HTC, I did read here you can get amazing battery life if you turn off LTE, Wifi, GPS, Radio (anything not in use).

Agreed, you don't have a phone at that point, you have a paperweight with a screen!

But I regularly get 40hrs per charge with 2-3hrs screen on time, everything turned on except wifi and screen at 70%. Not amazing but good enough
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
At 40 hours a charge that's pretty good. I easily will use 6 hours or screen time a day.

Custom roms? My Optimus 4X has officially only been updated to 4.1 but with custom roms I am with 4.3.1 now. Really, bootloader status is way more important that if the OEM supports updates.

I early adopted the HTC One (4 days into its availability in my country), great phone with the exception of a couple minor hardware defects. No biggie, send it for RMA, comes back with a new screen and speakers (which was working fine before it was sent in) with more broken parts, send it in for second RMA, fixed the most annoying camera defect but still hasn't fixed the other hardware defects, I decided to give up. When the battery gave out, sent it in for RMA along with the previous defects, now HTC is quoting me $290+ for a motherboard change! Never HTC again for me - best phone I had so far, but sadly until they send someone over to overhaul their service center, they aren't going to make the cut for me (You guys with proper service centers are lucky!).

Build Quality, HTC One vs Nexus 5

So, I love my HTC One very much, but I guess I have OCD for having the latest hardware specs (only because I think I can sell my HTC One, and get a Nexus 5 without any extra money spent).

But my question is, do you think the Nexus 5 build quality will be as good as the HTC One? And, how much money do you think i can get for a 32 GB HTC One (Stealth black color) if it's in good condition and I've had it for like 3 months?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datsun.510:
LOL. So let me get this straight. You keep everything on at all times for what? To waste the battery faster? So you have a smartphone but you don't actually control the phone, you let the phone control itself?

The point of a "PHONE" as you claim, is to make and receive calls and texts. Correct? Why would you keep on Bluetooth, GPS, Data, NFC, WIFI, and brightness on auto, all the time? Let me ask you a question. If you are trying to cut down on electricity in your house, do you turn on the lights in every room or only in the room you are in? I use Power Widget and I make sure that whatever I'm not using gets turned off. Sure you can set it to auto using other apps and if you are at home, office, car, etc it will turn on what you want, but I prefer to control the phone myself. I don't use Bluetooth all the time, I don't use GPS all the time, I don't use Data all the time, I do however, if I am where there is WIFI (work or home), I keep Wifi on all the time to receive emails, etc. But when I leave such place I turn off WIFI immediately. If I need to search for something on the go, then I simply turn on Data and GPS with 2 buttons and then I search, once I find it, I will turn off Data and GPS.

I understand if you are a business man or a social network person and just love getting notifications all day, so you will need your Data on all the time, but for me and others its not like that.

As for brightness, I never use Auto. I use 30% (Home or Office), 65% for when 30% is not enough, and 100% for outdoors.

You guys must be those kind of people that keep everything on, then complain the phone uses too much battery. I get plenty of battery life out of any phone I have ever owned. I don't complain about battery life because I control what my phone uses and when it uses it.

Is my phone a paperweight? Far from it, it takes one button to turn on what I want, when I want it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
I use my phone more for data and hangouts. I don't complain about anything I get 5 to 6 hours of on screen time everyday. I like to have location access on cause of widgets I'm a truck driver so I use GPS a lot and I like to know the weather.... Cheers

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datsun.510:
I agree with you there. If you use Data and GPS all the time then it makes sense just to keep it on. I'm never on the go like that. I'm usually at work (office) or home.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea I see where your coming from. That's why it's quite silly sometimes for us to compare different aspects of our phone usage. We all use our phones differently. One thing I can I think we can all agree on is that we hope the new n5 has superb battery no matter are use.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
Ok to be fair I should have said "smartphone" rather than phone because otherwise indeed you would only need to make calls. However what we are dealing with here is a device that was designed for convenience in my opinion. In a time where we have tablets, TV, laptops, desktops, mp3 players, etc, do we really need everything to be in one device? No clearly we don't because it could never do all those things as well as the dedicated devices, but it sure is convenient if we can have some of all that functionality in one that's is also very portable. Hence the smartphone.

So my logic goes as follows: if we say that these phones are about convenience then all of the functionality should also be instantly available. If I'm on my way to a meeting and I can't find the destination, I don't want to have to turn on my data and gps and wait for it to connect to use my map. I just want it to work when I need it. Similarly, my vehicle stereo is set up to auto connect to my phone by Bluetooth to recieve calls, which is only convenient if all I have to do is get in the vehicle and it works (not so much if I have to manually turn on Bluetooth every time). I get a lot of emails throughout the day and it's important that I reply promptly to many of them, thus having a constant data connection (wifi or otherwise) is important. I could continue giving you examples but I don't think that would help anyone. Point is personally I can't comprehend why someone would spend all this money on a device with all of this functionality and then not take full advantage of it. If you don't need that functionality, I guess such people just have a lot of extra money?

And yes, you can turn things on and off to squeeze more battery life out of it, but that's not always practical as I have hopefully highlighted above. Hell for some people getting the longest life becomes the ultimate goal for the phone it seems haha :)! It could theoretically be more convenient if you automate the switches with something like tasker but in my case the important times for things to be on would not allow for any kind of meaningful boundaries to be set, for others maybe there are. As someone else pointed out, this isn't about complaining either, I have absolutely no idea why you would think I have negative thoughts about my battery life. 40hrs is more than I need per charge. So really there's not much of a compelling reason to try and get more charge life. You can't be bothered to plug in a phone once per two days?
