I pulled the trigger on the DNA when Best Buy was giving them away. So far I am loving HTC coming from Moto only for years. I hope when it comes time for another upgrade there will be another awesome HTC phone for a great price.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
I will most likely end up with the HTC ONE or a Nexus 5. Probably the One though. I like sense 5 way too much and the One is too solid of a phone to pass up.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shadowstare:
Post DNA plans?

The DNA was my first phone on Verizon when it launched. I'm not due for an upgrade until late 2014. If I had to choose a device from the current crop, i'd pick the Moto X or the G2. But I'll wait until 2014 to make a real decision, but I would like to stick with HTC if possible. And by possible I mean if HTC has a device on Verizon with a similar screen size but higher ppi, much larger battery, more storage and the latest version of Android.

But that's what everybody wants right?
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
I would get the HTC One Max as soon as I could :upgrade or no..... I'd buy it the day it was available.

The new size is perfect for what I want in a phone.

But because I am into esthetics and the feel of a phone: that "rubberized" back cover, and I don't think I will ever see that style again, I'll keep the DNA.

I never cover my phone with a case!

[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
I'm sticking with the DNA for now.

One Max = too big for my personal taste

N5 = wont be on Verizon, and due to company rules, I dont have (or really want) another choice of carrier

G2 = nice... but not a big enough upgrade/difference for me to pull the trigger

Its interesting because with CM 10.2, I really feel like my phone is running so well that for the first time in a long time, I'm not itching to upgrade. Very weird feeling. But I think its due to the fact that there isnt a single app/game that I use which has problems or lag on the DNA.

Truly a supreme phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
Yeah I love my DNA slick thin light but feels solid as do all HTC phones in my opinion. There really isn't a phone out or coming out that would make me feel jealous. This phone benchmarks with the best of them and we have a slew of roms out. Plenty of development by top devs who know a thing or two about fixing these issues we have.
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
I'm going to definitely stick with HTC if at all possible. If they updated the One with wireless charging, possibly a 5" screen (current size is good too) and the latest tech, I'd bite as soon as it came out.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
HTC one max is a joke.
[HTC Droid DNA] raichur0xx0rz:
I have my DNA on my T-Mobile prepaid right now, and a Maxx on my Verizon line.

On one hand I want to replace my DNA with something smaller (carrying two 5"-ers can be annoying), but it's also an Employee Edition one, so I kind of don't want to get rid of it. I wanted the HTC One, in vibrant blue (not Best Buy blue), but even after price drops and whatnot, I'm hesitant to pay money for it at this point.

Since it would be for T-Mobile, I also considered a 5S, but don't want to waste an upgrade, nor pay $650, for it.

I'm waiting to see what CES and MWC bring next year...
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
I wouldn't say that. It fills a gap that HTC has and allows them to compete with Samsung.
[HTC Droid DNA] Fightermelee:
I want to stay with HTC, but they constantly produce devices that I need to unlock/root. I might as well just go Nexus as this point :/
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Tbh I probably want get the dna 2 unless it supports micro sd and or has more memory.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
i was dead set on getting the One for full price when ti came out....but then i realized i'd rather not spend 600 bucks on a 6 month old phone that had the same internals as my S4.

ended up getting a G2 and i absolutley love it. i still enjoy my DNA, but the battery life and the speed on this G2 is crazy. had 20 hours and 48% battery left on it the other day..my DNA would never make it that far. was pretty awesome!
[HTC Droid DNA] ChristianJay:
If now was the time, I would get the G2.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Me, too. See you on the G2 boards.
[HTC Droid DNA] Watercycle:
It's going to be awhile before I'm convinced into getting a new phone. A quad core and 2gb of ram was all I ever hoped for while on ICS. That alongside the fact I don't want to lose unlimited. Wouldn't be very happy seeing a big bill for the few months I go over 2gb.
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:

[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Just bought an HTC one off of a guy on swappa. Can't wait to get it. I love my DNA but my volume key barely works anymore and it's super annoying have to press it stupid hard.
[HTC Droid DNA] outkast2012:
I'm available for upgrade

But I don't think I will upgrade just yet

I am happy with DNA. It's still fast and gets the job done

Maybe next year there will be something more interesting than the new phones now

I still love my DNA so much sometimes I touch it with my mouth.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Quit trying to steal my thunder thunder thundar
[HTC Droid DNA] AndyinHD:
I'm thinking I'll try to snag a G2 in a couple more months when the price starts to go down. Gotta keep that unlimited data! But in 2 months time if something else comes out with markedly better specs then I might be swayed. I love the build quality and performance of my DNA, but I still struggle with how to stick to the confines of only 12gb usable space.

And after playing with it briefly in store, I'm really just not sold on the location of the power button on the G2. But people do seem to be loving their G2's so maybe it's not such a pain after all.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
FWIW, I am test-driving the G2 and I rarely have to touch the power button since you turn your screen on and off by simply tapping it. Also, Amazon has the G2 for $99 and I read that VZW will sell it online for that price using discount code VZWDEAL. HTH!
[HTC Droid DNA] AndyinHD:
Are grandfathered unlimited data users able to take advantage of the VZWDEAL code without having to update to a tiered plan? I know a couple weeks ago people were getting the VERIZON30 and keeping unlimited, but even then a bunch of people reported having to jump through a bunch of hoops on the phone with VZW

customer service.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
They take it away when you buy a new phone through them. I'm sure they will try it even if it's off contract they don't want anyone to have unlimited anymore.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
For you guys that upgrade once a year, do you have to pay the fill price for the phone every time or do you get to use your upgrade every other year?
[HTC Droid DNA] AndyinHD:
Yeah I think it's only a matter of time till Verizon finds a reason/way to take unlimited data away got all grandfathered accounts. They exist to make money after all. But I'll milk it as long as I can, especially since my current discount will expire as soon as I update my contract.

If nothing amazing comes out in the next month I'll probably get the G2. I like the Note 3 on paper too, but it's just too big for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
I've switched to buying phones on Craigslist to keep both mine and my wife's unlimited data. I don't use more than 2GB typically, but on irregular months where I'm traveling and away from wifi I eat through it fast. I know I'd be in for a bigger data plan once I had to switch to tiered.

Honestly, whenever the Verizon unlimited data gravy train leaves the station, I'm switching to T-Mobile. At least then I can use a Nexus if I'd like.

EDIT: Getting back on topic, after reading Engadget's review (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/15/htc-one-max-review/) I think I'd definitely pass on the One Max.
[HTC Droid DNA] jhurst747:
Going to try a ONE Max next. I use a tablet and my phone so why not just combine the two?
[HTC Droid DNA] slvrdrgn123:
Nothing catches my eye right now but when I do upgrade, the phone must have wireless charging like the DNA. I don't think I can go back to having to plug in a phone every night before bed. The convenience really is worth the price for the plates.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I like having a wired charger with a long cable because I can still play with it while charging. If it's sitting on a wireless charging pad I have to hold both of them together which is awkward.

My One comes on Thurs. Getting anxious, my DNA volume buttons don't work anymore and my headphone jack is on it's way out.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Viper maxx is a joke and would be a waste of money. They used almost the same specs as the one. Look at the reviews and specs.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
"ViperMAXX" will be the name of our (team venom) rom for the one Max, not the device. But onto the main point of your post.

I think that too many people (yourself, seemingly included) wanted the one Max to be htcs next generation phone, when in reality, it's just the larger variation of the original one for people that like/want a phablet.

However, besides the cpu and lack of OiS, the battery is larger, the screen is larger and the memory/Storage space is expandable. And it comes with the newer version of sense as well. So it is a bit of an upgrade from the original one.

I don't know what people expect out of the max, or even the next generation handset, besides the better/latest cpu. And quite frankly, the lack of an upgraded cpu, in my opinion, won't hinder the devices performance. It only limits the people that think benchmarks are a grade of real world use, which isn't am accurate measurement anyway.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
I expected better. The camera doesn't even have image stabilization. The camera is worse then the HTC one. I expect a new device to be better it on par with it's competitors. To each his own if you're spending the contract price or having a phone donated to you cool I guess wouldn't spend full price on a sub par phone unless the price drops.

Oh and Vin I apologize I meant one maxx not viper maxx not much sleep meant the phone
[HTC Droid DNA] 93fuelslut:
Na playa. Gnex for a bit. You still check up on the d4 board tho?

sent from your moms phone
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
The camera is using software image stabilization instead of the hardware IS, so the verdict might be out on that. I've never had a phone donated to me, and I can't use upgrades due to unlimited, however, in my preferences, I think the phone is an upgrade for my use, so I'll likely be buying it full price. Bigger screen, better battery, great radios (according to reviews) and expandable memory.

I don't overclock, I don't run resource hogging games/apps, so the cpu will be more than enough for me. It all depends what the user wants in their phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Code not working, anybody else have discount code for LG G2?
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Wirefly has it for $69/$99. Amazon $74.99. According to one website the VZW coupon wasn't set to expire until Nov 3. You might try chatting with a VZW person online to see what they can do, maybe mentioning Wirefly and Amazon.
[HTC Droid DNA] renzo.olivares:
probably HTC? motorola has also caught my eye but there device specs are kind of subpar at this point. or iphone 6 ? if they actually make that screen bigger because i cannot do anything on a 4 inch screen lol
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
I can only order thru vzw. Maybe my vzw employee status disqualifies me from discount.

Guess I'll have to wait till we drop the price. Don't want to pay more than $99 for the LG G2.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
If you haven't tried the discount code VERIZON30, you might take a shot at it. Saw this one at Savings.com - don't know if it is legit, but the site says it is a new code. HTH
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Finnally G2 is down to $49. Should I pull the trigger?????????
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
At the rate it seems to be going down, they'll be paying you to take it from them in no time...

But seriously, if I were looking to go away from htc right now, $49 for the g2 seems like a great deal.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
What ^HE^ said.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Pulled trigger on the G2. Got 14 days to test drive.
[HTC Droid DNA] yoloswag2001:
One of the real pleasures of the DNA is how future-proof it feels. There's no phone out there that feels like a big upgrade. Granted, a bigger battery would be nice, and so would stereo speakers, but that's it.

I think I'm going to wait out this current crop of phones (carrying some crazy and unexpected release), but if I do buy a phone from this generation, it'll either be a Moto X or a G2. Moto X for the customization and smart features & the G2 for camera quality, screen quality, & battery size.
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
This. Definitely. I always get the itch after about a year for something new. And I am getting the itch for something new now too, one year in to my DNA ownership, but when I pick up another device, be it an S4, One, or G2, I just don't feel like it's a significant enough improvement. Very nice devices, for sure, but I think my DNA will be in my pocket for quite a long time to come.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I agree. While I only replace my phone every 2 years (so I've got another year to go) I've felt no desire for any other phones on the market. I want my next phone to be an upgrade, but if I had to switch for anything else on the market right now it would feel like a downgrade.

Absolute essentials for my next phone would be:

- Minimum 4.8" 1080p display

- Maximum 5" display

- 32GB internal storage

- NFC

- Qi Wireless Charging

- Non-plastic shell (I'm looking at you Samsung)

Everything else I can assume would be better than the DNA (camera, processor, etc.) The big thing for me is wireless charging. Why don't all phones include this? Most don't and that isn't ok with me. I use the Google Nexus Orb on my desk and it works wonders. If I didn't have it, I probably would have lost the USB cover on my DNA by now (and the phone looks ugly and incomplete without that flap). Wireless charging is arguably the best feature of this phone. The Droid MAXX only has a 720p screen, the LG G2 has an enormous 5.2" screen. The HTC One would have been perfect if it including wireless charging but it doesn't.
[HTC Droid DNA] Luigi711:
This is the longest I've had a phone. I really like the DNA. There just really anything out there that makes me want it. I was looking at the One Max, bit the specs aren't impressive enough. I think I'll have the DNA till 64bit hits,

Sent from my HtC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
The DNA is a great phone, and I also don't itch for an upgrade right now, but there is one thing that can be improved upon, and that's graphics performance. Somehow it sucks on the DNA on some games more than you would expect based on the specs. A better camera would be nice too. That's what I would be looking for in an upgrade.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bcreed26:
I tend to get the itch after about 6-8 months. I agree there is just nothing out there yet that I would consider. I currently have a HTC Incredible, HTC Rezound, Moto D4, Moto Razr, Moto Bionic, Moto Razr M and my DNA. I got the S4 for my fiancé to replace her Moto HD which she hated. None of which in my opinion touch my DNA. I'll have this phone for awhile longer. I considered the G2 for a min, but decided it wasn't much of an improvement.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I'm with the dna for at least another year probably longer. I don't want to upgrade to anything at the moment. I'm really looking forward to a nexus device that would work on Verizon. If they got the nexus 5 I would jump ship. Other than that I will still be rocking my dna.
[HTC Droid DNA] stupifiery:
Yeah I just got the DNA coming from a sgs4. Feels like an upgrade honestly. I miss the IR blaster and the expandable storage but the premium feel and sense are way better imho. It's still a quad core with 2gb ram. I'm liking it! Next I'll probably look at the iPhone 6, the next HTC one (looks like mwc '14 in February for a reveal), or the newest hotness from windows phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] d3fiance:
Voted One Max, however the huge size is keeping me away. I was really hoping to see Butterfly S coming to Verizon. Honestly, DNA is still the best phone I ever owned, and I don't really feel that have to get anything else atm.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bnaya:
Most of the times when i'm connection the device to my laptop (With ubuntu 12.10 on), the phone is connection and disconnection on a loop,

even if the device is on charge only mode. so i can't even charge the device from my laptop

The ubuntu syslog:

And its repeating itself until i disconnect the cable.

Also i discovered only after i bought the device that its not have a mass storage decide connection mode.

I'm working on making the MTP to work, maybe it will solve the problem.

RetroidNetplay is by DukedDroid and is an unofficial branch of the open-source project RetroArch that supports Netplay on Android Devices. The NetPlay support is CPU intensive and works on High End android devices such as the Nvidia Shield (tested) and powerful phones such as the Galaxy S4 (untested).

RetroidNetplay will evolve and will offer a lobby and match making platform in the near future.

RetroArch is a simple Multi-emulator frontend based on libretro by Themaister. Libretro is an API designed for simple abstraction of the functions inherent in retro-style, 2D games. While the most common use case for libretro has been console emulation, it is equally suited as a platform for almost any 2D game.

Hey man, this is great for the most part. However I followed your steps and I constantly get service errors no matter what I'm running. Have you gotten these errors to stop? Also have you found anything more about getting the play store to work?

Thanks,

Sean
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evanladoux:
Google play not working. Gmail is though. I'm using the play store by logging in via the silk browser, but unlike with the nexus 7 I just returned, I can't get the paid versions I've already bought for my Android phone. Im NOT paying rwice for the same apps (ie Poweramp). I like the Kindle overall, don't mind its Amazon overlay, but completely resent their blocking me from using their competitor's app-store. If they want to really go toe 2 toe with Google, let them develop a full new yet redundant operating system that rivals OSX & Android. Guess I'll have to root. Is not like they own every Kindle & we're just renting like the cable box for $10/mo.

These are not the droids you're looking for.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] killer_roach:
Yeah, I'm unable to get Google Play to work with this method, and it creates a lot of errors with services and wireless connections in the process.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] SWOLEGASM:
For all of you having problems: did you also download and install google play services as well? I hear thats required for a lot of the gapps to work.

I can confirm the following apps work with signin and sync and so on:

Play Music

I did need to install play services 3.2.66. And i do get random "com.google.android.gapps" crashes even when not using a google app, but it is easily dismissed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Epedemic:
Hmm i see that the google services framework are version 4.0.4-338691, and the google account manager is 4.0.3-239410. Perhaps it would be better to use 4.2.2 versions (if they exist) ?

Anyone seen those around in apk format? (i've only seen them in the gapps packages for cm10.x and i think they need to be repacked, which i do not know how to do...)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] someone0:
check goo.im for gapps packages you need.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Epedemic:
That's exactly what i did. But those come in a .zip for flashing on top of a AOSP rom without google stuff. I'm pretty sure you can't just extract the apks and install them (at least not the one i tried). As i mentioned i expect they need to be repacked in proper apk form, which is something i do not know how to do.
