New things and improvements in Sense 4.0:
- Landscape mode now also in home screen (with optimized buttons etc)
- No on-screen buttons (as on Nexus) but will adopt the 3 buttons (prev. 4)
- 3D Task manager
-Better lockscreen, with better integrated notifications etc.
- Overall better Email
-Better Browser, with Read later and Watch later functions. Introducing a new Reader feature.
- Guest mode, lets your friends only test some basic stuff (no phone, data, and special apps)
- Better Camera - when it detects a face, it takes 5 pics and chooses the best one.
- DropBox integrated (50 GB Free storage!! WTF?!!)
-Beats Audio will be universal, meaning allowed in 3rd part apps (Spotify etc.)

Now i doubt we see this version of sense as stated in the article its likely to be first seen on the new phones.....So itll likely be Sense 3.6 for us and thats it, and the Dev's will bring us greatness soon as those devices hit the streets. Though ill likely be getting one of those devices anyway. lol
Sense 4.0 likely to be shown off along with some other devices at their event at MWC on 2/26.

(neither of the rumored devices seem linked to Sprint anyway, though likely we will see something from them at/near CTIA)...

Sounds good, I was liking joelz 3.6 and there wasn't a ton of differences between 3.5, I thought it looked better visually, but THIS, sounds pretty sweet, I'll welcome 4.0 to my phone when its available for us...

I can't wait to get 50 gb on dropbox! Holy facking sh!t I'm staying HTC, was thinking of going Samsung on my next upgrade, not anymore!

holy **** just read it and it sounded amazing only thing that upset me a lil was them not going with on screen buttons :'( i was actually looking forward to that. just cant wait to see what it actually looks like but from the sound of it we will not be dissapointed and im thinking sense might no longer be hated by so many

I just can't understand people who want on screen buttons... I'd never wanna lose that kinda screen real estate.
If the phone was designed for it, than sure, but not on my 3d.

oh haha i guess i should've specified i dont want it on my 3d that doesnt make much sense to have the buttons when there are 4 perfect ones right below. i like how on the galaxy nexus the screen is extra tall so that the buttons can be there without stealing any screen space that would normally be there but when u want it like for video playback or who knows what the buttons can go away and now u got this super giant screen. from what that article says it sounds like htc isnt going to be implementing that on future devices which i hope changes.

OMG!. universal Beats?!?

Great stuff!
Saw 3.6 and was actually quite impressed with the polish and hints of ICS menus. But now reading this just makes its so much better.
HTC's Sense was the best skin on Android back then (well, still is from other manufacturers) and that's when they wanted to stand out and make the android experience a better one. In the middle they kind of stagnated, didn't improve it much but by this line on Androidandme site:
If you think that custom skins are too intrusive, we’re sure you’ll be pleased to hear that HTC Sense 4.0 is a “step in the right direction".

Looks like they are going back to improving on what android has to offer, and to improve on the eye candy of ICS, well it'll be immense (ok maybe not immense, that's just my excitement levels going up lol)

Well some of the Sensation guys seem to feel overly confident about devices getting updated to Sense 4.0....stating that the "The Incredible S, Desire S, Desire HD..." all got sense updates recently...
me personally i think we only see it if/when a dev ports it. I think this update to ICS will be the last one we get unless google releases a big bug update to ICS thats important before the end of the year...

I was kinda under the impression that the GS2 (soon to be replaced by Nexus) and iPhone were Sprint's flagship phones... I doubt we'll get Sense 4.0 simply because it will probably be on some hot new Sprint device and they want you to go out and buy it so that you can experience Sense 4.0

Why did you get the EVO 3D and which phone you came from

Knowing a lot people here and some.new, while we wait for root I would like to.know what phone you guys have? And why choose the EVO 3D ?
I had the EVO and thundebolt ( okay a lot with phones , I owned and epic , nexus s , and iPhone 4 )
I wasn't sure to get this phone but my EVO screen broke and i didn't have my insurance no more ( took it off last month ) and sprint didn't want to replace it cause it was bigger then an inch, a supervisor.and a person from canceling deparment moved my upgrade from January 2012 to this month so i got it and so far is good no problems just waiting for root but the phone is really good so I don't.miss root as much, what's your story ?

Damn...I thought this was an old thread bc I'm.pretty sure there is one with a very similiar title and topic ..anyways my name is Rob and I had an EVO 4G and now an EVO 3d ...
I had the samsung moment. Need I say more?
To add to the story though, I talked about this phone from the first announcement until release date and the wifey got really annoyed. Picked up the phone on release date and brought it home that evening at which point she spent 5 minutes with it and asked if she could replace her htc hero with the e3d. I then called up the sprint store to make sure they had some. luckily they had one left so we immediately went over and picked it up.

Oh man, sorry you had to go though that. Some moments over-stay their welcome.
I had the OG EVO & I bought the EVO 3D because I wanted better graphics, power, the camera button, to flaunt the newness + 3D & 3 cameras, the QHD resolution, Official Sense 3.0 + eventual Ice Cream Sandwich (to feed my "must have latest w/ cake" bug) & another HTC made handset.

I can only imagine having a hero and playing with a e3d ..I'd wanna throw it out the window ..that's a big jump..the hero drove me crazy even when it was one of the better offerings at the time..I think the 3d has tons of potential and will be even more of a speed demon
I came from a iPhone 3gs and At&t (when the iPhone was dominant). once my contract was up I left At&t and went to Sprint again with my sister and got the EVO 3d. Its not a major improvement to my sisters rooted EVO but it sure is to my old iPhone. I mean this thing has flash and I can actually makes calls with it . I can't wait until I get to flash some Roms on this bad boy.

Yeah the app store was the only thing holding me back but at least they have some good games like Plants VS Zombies and Nova 2 at the Market, I even have double Twist as my default music player. I knew that you could customize android but its pretty amazing how customizable it really is, from different launchers to different widgets. It's all better than the iPhone.

Had an Eris with Verizon. Wife had a Rouge but wanted an Android. Verizon didn't have a phone I liked and if I waited for a dual core my rate would've gone up $90 per month :O

Repost:
I started with the original palm pre two years ago.
I absolutely adored the OS, and still do, especially when filecoaster first appeared and the homebrew scene really took off.
Android was still in its infancy back then and the iPhone never held too much appeal for me, especially since I'm big on real keyboards and actual tactility.
Blackberry was a no go for me, windows mobile natch.
So I switched carriers to Sprint from Verizon and to the palm pre from the LG enV.. I swear that dumbphone still has one of the best keyboards I've ever used!
I love the navigational and UI metaphors of webOS. I love the intuitiveness and simplicity of the gestures.
Love the notification system and ability to see and use then even while the screen is locked. I also love the status/menu bar up top, giving you quick access to system/app options.
Really just a pleasure to use.
The customizability of the OS is phenomonal and the loosely centralized nature of the homebrew community with webOS internal serving as the main pillar. Preware is unmatched in the mobile homebrew landscape. Nothing comes close.
That being said, HP/palm gave us early adopters a thorough shafting and with no pre3 in sight for Sprint, I used my upgrade to move on to the HTC EVO 3d after my umpteenth pre- went the way of the dodo.
It's a wonderful piece of hardware and while I may not necessarily find Android to be the in the same class as best of breed OS that is webOS, the superior hardware options on Sprint all lead to Android.
Wp7 is still nascent and while it is somewhat attractive and interesting, the phones currently available haven't really caught my eye and again, my timetable for choosing a new phone was limited so i couldn't afford to wait til fall for a wp7 mango handset refresh.
I'm very satisfied with my 3vo and am pleased to not suffer from the same issues seemingly plaguing a very vocal portion of 3vo owners.
If the Motorola photon launches within my 30 day window, I may look into it as I originally had my eyes set on that piece of tech but my underestimation of the 3vo has been wildly exceeded.

Samsung I760 - HTC Touch - HTC Touch Pro - HTC Touch Pro 2 - HTC Evo - HTC Evo 3D
I usually upgrade phones more frequently than the average user, but I had the Evo for the longest that I've stayed with a phone in years. The Evo 4G really was, and still is, and amazing phone. If it were not for the 3D, then I would still be happily rocking the Evo 4G. My top 3 reasons for going with the 3D was for the processor, screen resolution, and more RAM. While the 3D feature was intriguing, I really didnt expect it to work all that great. I must say that I was really blown away after watching a couple youtube videos in 3D and then watching The Green Hornet. The images really do come out away from the screen further than some tv's do.

Is the Rezound any good?

Been reading a little adout the Rezound and am going to trade out my iPhone for one. Am I making a mistake? I'm an android junky and the story is to long as to why I have an iPhone so now that I can switch back is the Rezound the right choice.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
I love the rezound it is an awesome phone. If you like androids you will love it. My wife just switched to a rezound from an iphone 4 and she loves it. I upgraded from an evo 3d and it is a way better phone.
I've been with android since the very beginning with the G1 and the REZOUND is without a doubt the best phone I have ever owned. Not only is it the most powerful phone currently on the market it but it has great battery life that can easily get me through a full day of medium usage. The phone is even better now that HTC has unlocked the bootloader and a ton of ROMS have been released by developers. Plus, an early ICS build has been released which could lead to a stable ICS release in the coming weeks so overall I couldn't be any happier with this phone!
Yes, best there is right now. I switched from android to the iphone and now "I'm back in the saddle again."
Thanks for the feed back. I'm still researching this phone but I am stoked about getting an Android phone again. I was a luanch customer on the EVO 4G and then switched to Verizon on the Thunderbolt. I got a fancey stereo for my car and of course it was iPhone ready so to get all the goodies my new stereo would do I switch to an IPhone. I have decided the iPhone is just not worth having for my car stereo so back to Android I go.
I have a Nook Color and a HP Touchpro (running android of course) so yea...Im and Android junky and a flashaholic!!!

don't hesitate if you don't have to, it's the best phone on VZW right now, imho
No, you're not making a mistake. Yes, the Rezound is the right choice!
The screen is gorgeous. There's a bit of an issue with color/tint in taking pics but the clarity and sharpness is amazing. Text is clear and crisp.
The dev section is going crazy since HTC unlocked it and now there's an ICS leak that people are working on.
Personally I like Sense a lot but there are ROMs without it available.
4g.
16gb internal and 16gb external removable sd card which can be upgraded to a 64gb card and confirmed working. That's an 80gb phone!
Wirefly currently has this phone at $99.99 for new contract or additional line.
I love it. If you like Android I'm sure you will too.
from the OG droid to a dx to the rezound it is by FAR the best phone I've owned. I've also had a chance to use/test drive a gnex and razr and i can honestly say that i don't have ONE bit of regret getting the rezound over those two. In after thought it was really a no brainer actually.

I asked this same question when I got rid of my DX2. I have never been happier with a phone ever. I love this thing more than I loved my OG Droid, and I nearly cried when I got rid of that. This phone is beyond amazing, and with all the new work on ICS that's coming up, you're jumping in at the perfect time.
another positive review
I too came from a x2, and was also an OG early adopter.
This phone kicks ass! The screen is unbelievable, the dev possibilities are endless, the beats makes a BIG difference on the audio! I was just getting into modding my x2...and once I (finally) learn my way around this one, the sky's the limit!
RUN , don't walk, to Verizon and sign on the dotted line! Lol
If price is an object, then yes, the Rezound is great for the price.
If price is not of concern, I don't see why you would not go with the Galaxy Nexus.
I don't think the Rezound is bad, but turning down consistent updating from Google, more after market customization and less difficulty rooting or doing any custom ROM, the galaxy nexus is Verizon's Best Phone, bar none.
That being said, go with what you like the best. Try them out, and go with what you like the most.

Because the galaxy nexus has the worst antenna issues I have ever experienced. Screen is pentile amoled that gives it a nasty blue tint. People have been reporting burn in on the screen. Need I go on?

It's a great phone with a few quirks:
Many are plagued with overheating issues, my first one was but my second works fine.
The design of the screen allows the LEDs to shine up from the bottom and annoys some but I don't notice it often unless I'm watching video in the dark. This can be solved by installing screen filter and turning off the LEDs.
Stock battery sucks if you're a heavy user and on stock ROM or kernel. Development is just getting going and it's getting better.
Color balance of camera is off, most of the time you need to keep it on incandescent to get accurate pictures.
All the above are quirks and you can get over however the main problem is the audio hissing/whining/feedback when headphones are plugged in. Ironic that a beats phone has music issues lol.
Speaking of beats its a gimmick and I find equalizer (the app) does a much better job for a variety of music.
Pros are the following:
Amazing screen and full HD videos on it look amazing. High ppi ftw! Plus it is a full rgb display and not pentile like the razr.
Sense integration, love it or hate it. I don't love it but I really like it and because the hardware is so good it isn't laggy at all and love the contact and widgets.
While not the thinnest phone it feels really great in the hand. Ergonomically speaking much nicer to hold and pocket than the razr for comparison.
ISC should be coming soon as rezound is part of first release update. I think sometime in February.
Lock screen shortcuts (because of sense 3.5) are really handy
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Stop the lies in here about the Nexus......the Rezound is a nice phone.....that's it. It is NOT a superior device. Its the same old phone HTC has been selling for years with a dual core and over packed PPI. The most bloated UI of any phone and I read a earlier post about the "most powerful handset on the market"..????....seriously? Where are these specs at? This is terribly misleading information that is OPINION. This is one of many DECENT phones on the market.

I like mine but to be honest I would wait a few weeks for the razr maxx to look at it the battery specs are nuts.

HTC ONE X camera not all that great

I know everybody wants to switch to a new phone, and one of the reasons is the newest htc camera is so much better than anything else...or is it? Maybe waiting one more generation is the way to go.....http://www.gsmarena.com/pureview_blind_test-review-773.php
This thread says otherwise
well of course it does, they all own the phone and they are coming from older phones. Fact is no one in the 1000 people sampled could pick out the htc photos. Well maybe thats a good thing?
There is alot more to a smartphone than its camera, the evo 3d is the exception because 3d is the headline feature.....point being HTC has designed a good phone (albeit with a few niggles for a selected bunch of models), The camera is the cherry on the cake, now people can decide if they want the whole experience i.e. the cake, or just the cherry i.e. the standout feature from the proverbial or literal sh**

That might not be true, actually cell phones are so much alike that one phone having a much better camera than the others might turn out to be it's biggest feature. At any given moment there might be almost as many people taking pictures with a cell phone as there are making a call, heck a lot of people just text or use it for web surfing.
I think the real question here is, what camera would meet YOUR standards? There are a lot of people out there who say the camera is raising the bar, and obviously, you're a skeptic. Am I right?

I would love to have the lte\one x camera on my evo3d, i'm not that great at taking pictures and would like to get better. I just like to read and found the camera comparison to be quite interesting. Maybe I should have said camera great but not the greatest? Let me add one thing, is there anyone who wouldn't want this camera on their next phone? And i mean camera only. That would be raising the bar by a huge amount.

Thats not exactly what I mean.... You don't buy the phone JUST based on the camera alone... Its the whole package.... The one x camera is great, but in these tests all the settings have to be equal and thats a user oriented thing as to how each individuals perception of a good quality image is, there are too many variables.
IMO HTCs camera settings have never been the best straight out the box... My desire hd had that issue and the same with the evo 3d, but then its to my taste and everyone's is different, unless the image is just **** lol

But, you do realize that the One Series and the EVO 4G LTE were both completed by design and announced before official rumors of the S3 was complete. So, of course Samsung would 1up the competition. It's just like if a new phone is announced later in the year, it's obviously gonna have better specs than one that was designed before.
And HTC definitely didn't lose their ass with this new phone (Especially the EVO 4G LTE). The One series is a step in the right direction for the company. No more quantity over quality. They're taking things down the right road this time.

I stumbled on this post searching for something. What a dumb post. Just delete his whole thread. I myself am.dumber for reading it. Camera quality is subjective when quality is this good. No one is using a phone to take aerial photos of property to show off. HTC has a hit. S3 is good but another same looking samsung phone. What innovation there. I am a big Samsung fan but S3 is a disappointment on looks and design for its exterior.

Sorry you didn't like the article, i thought it was interesting to see a phone have a camera that good and somewhat surprised to see the htc phone rated that low. The phone was a hit at the last show because of the camera, they rated it a top 5 show item. I would think these people are more knowledgeable in the phone technology area, they certainly are smarter than mehttp://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/nokia-808-pureview-united-states/ I did also see that engadget has their review up for the S3 and they say the S3 camera, except for a faster shutter, is not much better than the S2. They also say the camera is about the same as the htc camera. So while that makes the cameras both pretty good I guess they are not a huge leap forward.http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/

Nice picture, no doubt, but if htc took the time to install a 3d camera on last years flagship phone, maybe a year from now they could install something similar to the nokia's camera and have something that is actually a "huge" improvement. We are now shown the technology is there and is being used and mass produced.

New Info: HTC M7 and Sense 5

Some rumors and leaked images about the HTC M7 and *apparently* the Sense 5 UI.
original story: (with screenshots) http://www.slashgear.com/htc-m7-and-sense-5-ui-leak-reveals-more-details-11264958/
CES 2013 may be winding down, but the news keeps on rolling. Today, a handful of screenshots have leaked that apparently show off HTC’s Sense 5 user interface for Android, which will run on the also rumored M7 that we’ve talked about in the past. The group of screenshots also comes with a picture of the UI running on an HTC phone which could possibly be the M7 itself.
This is technically the first actual photo of what may possibly be the HTC M7. However, it doesn’t show off much, other than the display and a little bit of the bezel. Then again, it looks like HTC will be bringing their polycarbonate design over from Windows Phone 8, so we’ll know what to expect slightly, given those circumstances.
The screenshots show a little bit of what to expect out of Sense 5, and it’s definitely been given a slight redesign. However, for those wishing that the new HTC Sense UI will someday be closer to stock Android, we can’t see that happening anytime soon, since the company loves its Sense interface and many users love it right back.
However, the screenshots hint at a little bit of details on the hardware of the M7. We still see the legacy menu button in the screenshots, which suggest that the M7 will come with the same three capacitive touch buttons just like the HTC One series, with a dedicated on-screen menu button when needed. Overall, though, the Sense 5 UI looks bit a cleaner and simpler than Sense 4.x.
As far as other rumors go for the M7, we’re looking at a 4.7-inch 1080p display with a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. There’s also supposedly going to be 32GB of internal storage, a 13MP f/2.0 rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2300mAh battery to power it all.

Why of why it's not 5-inch 1080p screen smartphone? Kind of bummer. I also thought this one is gonna be the Tegra4-armed device.

I'm wondering is the 13MP camera sensor has Exmor technology on it? If so, then it's must be from Sony, right? Just like on Lenovo IdeaPhone K900.
You know, to me the m7 isn't that much of an upgrade. I love my DNA. 8 to 13 mp for my phone display isn't a game changer in my mind. The increased storage and slightly faster cpu aren't either. And you lose screen size.

I have no doubt we will see this on our phone ~eventually~, I know devs will have it on our DNA before HTC does, IF they do.
I am coming from the ReZound where I had Sense 4, something that was never intended to be on it, and before that, the HTC Droid Inc, which had AOKP ICS
I actually really hope Sense5 doesn't look like this, because they need to start going WITH the times and not against it. I still can't believe they retain their fat statusbar with the lame grey to black gradient >_< what is this, sense 2???
Don't really care for Sense 5, I'm holding out for Viper Rom or an aokp-based Rom.
tks
M7 will be a good phone no doubt...but I like my 5 inch 1080p screen too much.
I can't wait to see what phones come out this year that will tempt me to sell my DNA.
If sense 5 looks radically different don't count on it. Vzw doesn't want the average customer that buys it and doesn't tinker to have to experience a forced major UI change. It confuses the average consumer whether its for the good or bad. Just my $.02

So, what do we think? It's probably real because EVleaks has been spot on with all their previous leaks of HTC's devices. I kind of like it and it's nice to see HTC taking a new design approach. The whole soft edged rectangle thing was getting a bit stale. It will be really cool if the display is edge-to-edge horizontally making it ultra-thin in its class. I give them credit for trying something different.

That's what I was referring to. The Rezound not getting 4.0 officially. It was a big change even one for the better kept from the consumer.

Personally I'm hoping that *AT LEAST* in a new version of Sense, that they make the UI proportionate... I run the DPI at 320 and when I flashed a rom that went back to 480 DPI, God it was ugly! Haha. Having the Digital Dreams rom, at 320 DPI... the phone truly looks beautiful and futuristic as far as the UI goes, not including the hardware itself is gorgeous.

[Q] HTC One Camera Quality?

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing or noticing this, or if it's just me, but the pictures produced by my HTC One are often soft around the edges while sharp in the middle and seem to have a fair bit of noise. Attached are sample images. I have not unlocked the bootloader, it is completely bone stock.

Not sure if just me or if my expectations of the camera were higher than they should have been.
The camera is one of questionable execution. 4mp bundled with a high quality image sensor capable of 13mp and image cpu. I would not be surprised if HTC releases a camera update that lets the end user choose above 4mp.
I'm still skeptical of the camera but this phone is the most powerful I've owned.

yea same dmobile1337. i dont know if i have to change some setting or what. every time i take a picture, i notice lots of noise and when i zoom in a little, clarity is significantly gone. i know a 4mp cant have the same res as a higher mp camera but after reading that the htc one camera is short of amazing, i am now starting to wonder if i got a defective unit.
wrong section
and i think the camera is fine give the devs some time and its going to get lots better the default camera on the onex was great after some tweaks it was OMFG !!! good
The softness is the ois. If you read anandtechs review he points this out. Its a software bug I imagine HTC will fix.

It is kind of awkward for HTC to brand an "enhanced" 4mp camera for it's "epic" phone, but then again compare it to other phones on the prepaid side that are still stuck with 5mp cameras and run on decent hardware, the quality is noticeably better on the HTC one.
The unit is not defective, I doubt HTC would have left out the option to utilize a high quality 4mp mode with the ability to shoot in higher resolution.

The Camera is Beautiful take i assure you. i mean its not no SLR but still :good: this is a picture of the virgin Mary statue i have in my home
I've had the same problem. If I take a picture of something, the entire picture doesn't seem in focus. There's usually a corner of the picture that's blurry or soft and it's really aggravating me. After what all the reviews said about the camera I'm just not seeing anything to be impressed about. It's also really noisy like someone else said.

Yeah, camera feels not much better than my note 2 personally, but I wish I still had it so I could compare and find out, as it is I've just got a samsung focus flash to compare with, and of course that offers no real comparison.

That picture looks great! Tell me though, are you stock or running a custom rom? The international base is a later revision than stock ATT and I read somewhere when I was drunk (so I guess it might have been nothing but I remember reading it...) that HTC made some camera improvements later on. Makes me wonder if those are in the base that the international version is running, or that the lion's share of custom roms available to us are on.
Not trying to gripe, I love everything about this phone. In fact, it's such a great device that I expect it is something I am doing wrong or something that HTC has already fixed that hasn't trickled down yet.
I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of pictures, particularly in daylight.

Just finished unlocking the bootloader, installing a recovery and getting AR HD installed. It was clearly a random software issue that not everyone is experiencing, and has been corrected. My camera seems better than ever at the moment. Thank you all!
Its because the international ROMs have updated software. Past several ROM leaks improved the camera, video, and other stuff

They are probably busy compatibility testing their preloaded apps or making updates and tweaks of their own for performance. Or making sure that if you use one of their preloaded apps on the new build it doesn't brick the device or something horribly sinister like that. I am an instant gratification type, but working in corporate america taught me that software updates are far from an overnight thing. I wish it had come out closer to release so I didn't have to install a custom ROM but I am sincerely glad I took the time to do so. Back button hold for menu is a real life saver in some apps and the camera improvements are worth it as well. If you choose to wait and keep stock, good things are right around the corner.
