While everyone is waiting for their phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the ATT HTC One, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.
welcome to XDA
Hi everybody, I am one of the mods on the team, welcome to the forums. If you post a question thread here in the General forum and notice it is missing, please check the One Q&A forum and you might just find it there.
If you posted a placeholder thread simply to gain thanks for doing nothing, you might have to keep looking...
Thank you,

BTW for any mods out there the picture for the main subpage for this phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2222) has the wrong picture--the AT&T one has a AT&T logo on the backside above the Beats branding. The one here doesn't.

They just had to slap that damn thing somewhere. The Sprint version doesn't seem to have a logo on the back, looks much nicer.
would it be wise for me to wait for the black version of this phone just to make sure they got all the "kinks" out?
I've been discouraged to buy htc phones when they first come out because they usually end up having some sort of issues..
last year i bought the htc one x at launch (full price too) and kept having off and on issues with wifi. I swapped it out a few times and ended up selling it at the end.
I was able to see both the SIV and HTC one in person. The build quality on the ONE impressed me. I will say though the phone was very warm when I held it. HTC one X all over again..
Part of me hates to admit it but knows that in the long run the SIV is a better investment..
Im waiting, but I dont know what to do yet. I want the black version, not the silver. Im going to buy off of contract so I will more than likely get the Developers edition... but who knows when or if they will have the black version in that. I want the phone now, but Im going to wait until the black is released...whenever that is.
Excuse me, Moderator. I had posted a thread in the themes and apps section detailing resources for a screenshot thread. It was taken down, any clue as to why?

We don't generally allow placeholder threads. None of these devices are in anyone's hands here on XDA, so how can there be screenshots here from said devices?

Well, I did have an AT&T One in my hands earlier today...
Too bad it didn't have a SIM installed.

XDA forum used to be about HTC phone but now time has changed and HTC become a minority.
Finally, a new off-topic section for this place.
My phone's coming sometime next week.
I really want the black version, but no one knows when it is coming. I'm tempted to go order the silver one today, but now I'm trying to decide between 32GB and 64GB.
I never hit the limit on my 32GB iPhone, but I did hit the limit on my 16GB S3

I have been sitting on an upgrade since November last year - tried the One X+ but returned it due to the bluetooth issues. Now I have a trip coming up and need a phone before it, so I don't have a choice - silver it is. Oh well, they both look good, just prefer the black a little.
I'll wait for the black one hopefully it comes out on launch day. The silver one to me only looks good in the front but I can see all that silver in the back getting old real quick. I have had a few black phones in the past and after a year with the white S3 I miss the sexyness and classyness of a black phone. The stealth black on the ONE is definitely bringing sexy back!
If the black is available next Friday I will be very happy. However I ordered the silver 32GB in case it isn't. I don't anticipate an exchange to be a problem.
If it's silver, it's silver.

AT&T currently doesn't have a phone that is powerful as the OG Galaxy SII. Sure there is the Note and SkyRocket but they aren't as powerful. I would like to know if this phone is still selling strong. I just bought one. But anyway, this seems to be the best phone AT&T has ever had. Maybe the iPhone 4s comes in second? What do you think?

Seems that everyone else doesn't want to play nice so I'll add my own opinion. I think that the only phone that will be able to give our phone a decent challenge will be the HTC One X when it comes to AT&T supposedly in April. It looks to be a pretty nice phone, hopefully AT&T doesn't mangle it too bad.

Will agree with this one, the only problem some of the other phones that AT&T carries is that they simply bloat them to death and it kind of gives the phones a bad rap when reviewed by alot of the review sites.
Would love to see a review where the majority of the phones are benched/reviewed side by side with stock firmware/rom's vs rooted/custom rom's
I came from a Motorola Atrix to this and it was a definite upgrade. Great phone, and imo atleast for NOW, its the best. I'm sure something will come along soon and trump it, but till then, we're the kings of the mountain.

The new HTC has some serious potential. I am. Very worried about the non removable battery though, and no SD slot is fail. But the s4 looks to be a real power house. We shall see

It does look like a nice phone, and I would have probably gotten it as a 2nd phone if it had a micro sd slot. the S4 chip seems impressive, but I'm sure the next exynos chip will crush it though once it's released
Coming from HTC Dream (G1), it is a step up for me for SGSII. But of couse, AT&T screwed it up with how they managed this device (not reconized it as 4G..DUH!!!). HTC One X seem to be the up to the task to match up to SGSII. But then we'll have to see.
Well coming from an iPhone and inspire this way way way better then any phone I have ever seen att carry.like mention before the HTC one XL may be the only phone to challenge this one(maybe the rumored galaxy s3 ) but not being able to remove the battery is one of its downfalls .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah the One X looks like the first HTC phone in a while that could hold up against the Samsung.
The GS III could be earlier this year than last year. If the att variant is as close to the international as the i777 was to the i9100, then the One X will be back-seated quick.
But, the Captivate is still pretty strong after two years. Heck, they had ICS before we did. I would guess the i777 will continue to be popular for about the same timeframe, 2 years.

"Powerful" is in the eye of the beholder. I love my GSII, it is way snappy, but if I am in the bay area (which I am pretty regularly) I cant take advantage of the LTE there. All depends on what you value.

Just what he says, with the SGS2 he can't take advantage of the LTE network. You need a Skyrocket for that.

The SD card slot isn't too big of a deal to me because of the fact that the phone should be coming with a 32GB internal storage which is what my S2 has with the SD card added. The non removable battery could be more of a problem if it has the typical HTC battery life. If I didn't have my S2 right now and was ready for an upgrade I'd definitely give the One X a chance.
Just read the specs on HTC One, unless I missed something, it looks like HTC made the display .2" bigger than the GSGII Skyrocket just so they don't look like they are behind Samsung. Ya it is a nice phone but not nice enough to leave SGSII.
I suppose the title says it all..
I know that the Amaze is lacking in development compared to devices such as the Sensation but there is so much drama here in the Amaze forums... It's kind of ridiculous.
I'm honestly considering buying an HTC Sensation just to get away from the drama here in the Amaze forum.
I really do believe that, though there are exceptions, this entire forum is full of a bunch of spoiled kids who wouldn't even have this device if it weren't for Mommy and Daddy.
Flaming and *****ing and generally behaving like children.
Alright folks.. Lets see how bad I get ripped open for this one..
I considered it for a short time but not after getting s - off. I am staying with my Amaze.

I'm actually a retired senior moderator. I have absolutely no powers on this site anymore. I did pm MikeChannon requesting he reinstate me to this forum only in an attempt to help straighten it up so you're both right and wrong in that regard.
As far as buying a phone just to participate in a community, you're completely wrong about that. Every single phone I have owned since my first Motorola Razr has been a touch screen HTC device and I've been an active member of XDA for almost as long.
I also have no desire to get rid of my Amaze. I simply said that since I'm thoroughly addicted to XDA, I would almost rather have a sensation where there seems to be far less drama.
You see.. I'm a grown man with a wife and daughter. I'm an auto mechanic at a respectable car dealership and I have no desire to sift through 20 pages of useless threads and posts just to read a handful of useless, practical posts.
If Mike decides to reinstate me, you have my word that you will start to notice a big difference around here.

I believe you need one of each. Having one nicer, understanding mod and then also a NO-BS mod who doesn't give too many chances.
I was the latter of the 2. I don't know if you are familiar with the HD2 fora or not but I am responsible for the restructure it received a while back. You have NO IDEA how many temp-perm bans I had to fork out both during and after that restructure with all the warez and new users we had come in. That forum was a real mess. I was the NO-BS mod that whipped it back into shape.
I'm just saying that even though you may very well be a great moderator(sorry I don't watch much these days) and your partner as well, it never hurts to have a 3rd set of eyes helping out.

Ordered a SGII on Friday for $9.99 with the Fathers Day promotion ATT had running.
It arrived a couple of hours ago and has been charging. I haven't even turned it on yet. This is to replace a Captivate I've had for 22 months that I dropped on Thursday night and broke the LCD. I'd been dealing with a broken glass since the phone was 4 months old so it was definitely time for an upgrade.
I had Continuum Themed on the Captivate for over a year. Worked really well. Obviously rooted, unlocked and unlocked the market. Opened up tethering and had deleted all the bloatware. Also had modified battery info icons for the status bar. I'm looking to do something very similar with the SGII but I read that the author of the Continuum has stopped creating new roms.
I have to read up and get back into modding, as I mentioned, its been over a year since I last flashed a rom. Are there any former Captivate owners here?
Something occured to me, when setting up the new phone you have to agree to the new terms and conditions to register the phone on the network. If I flashed it and used my old sim card, would I need to register it on the network? I didnt have to do that to an unlocked Nokia that came over from the UK that I had for a few years. I put in my sim card and was able to make calls as soon as it had booted.

Then you should reread the OP.
I clearly stated I hadn't even turned the phone on yet. I am saying hello to fellow SGII users and introducing myself. I asked if there where any other prior Captivate users, thus a common ground, inciting conversation about users experiences with the 2 phones, and I mentioned that the rom I was using isn't supported, thus also inciting conversation about which roms SGII users prefer/are using/have had experience with.

Dont ask for opinions on what ROM is best, or what anything is best, figure it out for yourself. Your inticing the idiots that like sharing their phone dependent, and opinionated likes and dislikes.
Good day douche. Yea I'll prolly get infracted, but your worth it.
I'm the one with the attitude? Hilarious.
If we dont talk about stuff, how are we expected to grow and learn as a community? You should also note that at no point did I ever say which rom was "best." I asked for users experiences. Totally different.
And reminiscing about the past? Seriously?
If you have nothing constructive to add here, then sod off. Otherwise pipe down and grow up.

Then you should reread the OP.
I clearly stated I hadn't even turned the phone on yet. I am saying hello to fellow SGII users and introducing myself. I asked if there where any other prior Captivate users, thus a common ground, inciting conversation about users experiences with the 2 phones, and I mentioned that the rom I was using isn't supported, thus also inciting conversation about which roms SGII users prefer/are using/have had experience with.
Unbunch those panties and wash that sand out of your vag.

You just got a free "thanks" because I accidentally clicked on it.
you are going to get flamed for this. There is no reason to attack anyone. If you had searched, you would see tons of threads that have been locked because they asked for "what rom should I use...". Dont ask ... Just flash and find out yourself.
you will not get any help with a reply like that.

damn ... you are asking for it.
I'm a former captivate guy too... I guess we got that in common.
Welcome to the SGSII, which is basically a Captivate on steroids.
I'm still waiting for someone to quote me where I said "which was the best rom to use?"
There was nothing to get wound up in that original post, thus I said what I said.
joeybear23 welcomed you. Now please jmgelba right or wrong just forget everything and move on please!
PEACE TO ALL!

Nice Thread... NOT!
Closed.
If you had the Verizon S3 (not another carrier)
Can you please compare :
1. Audio Quality
2. Reception (which drops more calls or fades in and out).
3. Battery Life (preferably battery life based on total talk time than surfing or playing games).
Hmm I don't even have to own the DNA to answer
1. Call quality has always been great for me on HTC
2. Samsung cdma radios don't compare to htc
3. Battery life has,been stated to be the same or marginally worse than the gs3.
Gs3 is a great device. Prob gonna come down to what u like better, sense or touch wiz. But DNA should be a very nice device.
I'll be able to share more once I get it in my hands this coming week, should be here by the 20th 21st the latest. I love my S3 nothing wrong with it but I love new devices and keeping up with technology. I will say off the back build quality has always always been better with HTC.
I'll share more once I get the phone!

As far as 1 goes - MANY of their devices had problems with BT over the years - you could hear fine but the person you were calling would get reduced volume etc - some of them they fixed this issue with firmware updates.
As far as 2 goes, the EVO on Sprint was great - the EVO 3D had similar problems to the S3 for reception.
When some people get the phone, we'll hopefully have some detailed analysis of talk time comparisons.

Forgive the blunt nature of my reply, but what part of "If you had the Verizon S3" was it that didn't quite come across as clear in the original post??
Well, the DNA isn't even out yet, but I'm definitely switching from my S3.

Pardon my blunt nature when I say that,you asked a question pertaining to a phone that is not officially available so you must have asked this question in an open forum hoping the 4 or so people that have the device would reply
Take my advice with a grain of salt then but I am sure it will be an accurate answer to your question about this mythical phone until its release date and the masses own it.
at what point do I have to currently own the gs3 to be able to tell you about it. Maybe I have had extensive hands on with the device in such extent that I feel I can accurately talk about it.
I pre ordered mine, will get it soon. Only thing is that I wont be able to move my microSD card from the S3.
I just hope that ifixit teardown will reveal a hidden sdcard slot in the back some where then I will be happy.

You've doubled down on your ignorance. I am not the one that asked the original question.
Aside from that, take a look around. There are plenty of people that have already received these phones, and have been doing reviews on them. I think his question was quite legitimate, and think this thread would be better suited to include responses that are directly related to his question, including my own, which is why I'm dropping this now.

To the op, I apologize as my comments were not directed towards you. I felt as though I gave you an honest reply which is on the basis of your thread and this asshat has to chime in. The phone still isn't officially available.

Its not that there is no room, the general consensus is that verizon requested not to have one to make people use more cloud storage and thus more data.

Yes, but someone is selling a micro sd card specifically for the DROID dna leading to some speculation that the slot exists, just no opening for it.
I for one would be willing to open it up to put a "permanent" sd card in there.

Just because someone in china put droid DNA in the title of their ebay listing in hopes to get more sales doesn't mean there is a slot for it.

This. I find it extremely likely that the board is the same as the Butterfly's meaning there's the pins for a sd slot to be put in or possibly even an actual sd slot that isn't accessible from the outside, yet there's no way that ebay seller knows of this.
Alright so when is somebody going to open one up??? Lol

Went shopping yesterday and 3 separate people asked me about my One, while I was using it. Same thing happened today with another cashier at another store.
On one occassion, a guy asked about my phone as I'm next in line to go into the fitting room, and I had to interrupt his inquiry while my fitting room freed up. It's getting bothersome having to give everybody a rundown of the phone. lol

Actually a corp store rep that was only one of two stores in My area said that , believe it Ir not the HTCONE didn't hit alot of stores for some reason ...so many people that see the phone are like wow Really !!
I think probably because if the s4 hype and lack of retail availability that's why not many pieole are aware of the one.
When they here HTC one they probably assume HTC one S.

The T-Mobile store in Pittsburgh said that the one wouldn't be in the city for at least another month. so I just ordered online. They pushed the s4 super hard on me. AT&T has the phone here so I guess it's not unseen

I was meaning overall in popularity now and not available and unknown to the below average consumer a few weeks ago .
I'm sure by now it's picking up .
After all HTC has lost popularity in general .
So for the original OP the average galker wouldn't be aware if the NEW One or confused with the One s

No one has asked me about my HTC One
I got mine Saturday, there was only 1 store in the Nashville area that had them (West End) and when I went back yesterday to pick up a pair of Concords for my parents (first smart phones, they were looking for cheap) the guy in front of me was buying one. I had to interject (and the salesman was the one who had sold me mine Saturday, and I brought him bbq when I went in yesterday) and tell him a couple things.
Your situation sounds similar to when I first bought the N7000. I actually get tastefully asked now. With that phone it was bothersome.
Obama asked me where I got my phone from and asked to borrow it... I told him to get one for himself!

Just about all my co-workers and some of my family members have asked me about my phone.
A few co-workers have mentioned how much they love the look and feel of the phone. I work for a company that deals with SMS/Text Messaging stuff. I'm a developer there so we have to test our software by text-messaging in. Sometimes they need to use my phone since I'm the only one on T-mobile in the office. When I unlock the phone and let them use it, they tell me how amazing it is. (This is coming from iPhone users!)
I don't like that kind of attention, but even guys that only buy Apple stuff say they love the phone with just a few minutes to play with it.
HTC hit this one out of the park.

I wouldn't do that. I'd prefer them to find out and watch the expressions on their faces.
Shock and awe is always more entertaining than disappointment.
Many people have no idea what to call it. They always say "is that the phone with the speakers?" I just smile and say yes it is. I never understood why a phone would have them on the bottom.

Yeah, I've been getting the same thing - "Is that the new HTC phone?" I can't remember ever hearing this before. Sadly, people still ask me, "Why didn't you get the S4? It's better right?"

I assume you know now? Actually, I think of it as having speakers on each side, since video is watched that way. If you think of it that way, you start to wonder why most phones only have a speaker on the left side...

I think he meant he never understood why the speakers would be on the BACK.
I've experienced the same. Several people at work approached me about the phone. One guy even returned his S4 for the One.
I've had several people ask me about it. Mainly when I'm at a restaurant and I have it on the table. One server even stopped while talking about the daily specials to ask me if that was an HTC One.

I never thought of that meaning. On my HD2, it made sense; you could turn the phone over, and it would automatically go to the speakerphone on the back.
My girlfriend and her whole family have always been on iPhone. After just seeing my phone and a few features they are all switching to the HTC one. Girlfriend has already switched over and has had no thought about switching back.
