So does that just mean that it isn't going to have the "DROID" branding? I assume that HTC and Samsung wouldn't be very happy if Verizon was going to ditch all other android devices.
So you could have a DNA2, just not a "DROID" DNA2. Right?

I still have hope for a US Butterfly S. HTC would be an idiot of a company not to release it to a US market. The question is, will it come to Verizon? The DNA wasn't much of a success on Verizon (but the J Butterfly was over in Japan was), so they might aim for a GSM carrier. OR it may come to sprint as the HTC Evo Butterfly.
Also, I kind of understand Verizon's decision to make the Droid line Motorola-only. The non-Moto Droids have never done well. Read: Droid Charge, and (dare I say it) DNA. The Moto Droids have almost always been top-selling devices. Like the original Droid and its sequels, The RAZR line, specifically the original Droid RAZR Maxx, and the Mini/Maxx/Ultra will likely follow that path.
BTW: I'm stuck with my DNA (and i'm perfectly fine with that) for the next year and a half, so absolutely none of this will affect me until my contract ends in Jan 2015. I personally couldn't care less what happens with the whole Butterfly S/DNA 2 situation, but I understand some of you like to replace your device more frequently (which is perfectly fine) so I'm just adding my $0.02 to anyone who may be interested.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Who cares, the new phones don't have much wow factor to make me think the DNA is missing something or is being left behind. And looking at the development, the DNA has a good number of roms and kernels so I don't feel like it is under developed.
The DNA will be running strong for at least three years.
What I don't understand is... We have a 5 Inch, 1080P, Quad Core Android cell phone.. Nobody seems to care? We do!! But it's always about the HTC One, whatever Motorola is coming out with.. and Nokia Windows 8 phones..the next Nexus.. What is Samsung doing?? We have an absolute monster phone that I love yet there was almost ZERO hype behind it.. launched, then .. "Hey, I'm still here, I'm free now" .... Unless I missed something in my zombie like state of mind lately.. People ask what phone I have, then I tell them.. and I hear crickets.. People have no idea about this beast!!
See if people are wowed when you tell them you have the new Droid Ultra with a whopping 5 inch screen, powerful 1.7 dual core processor, and an unprecedented 2 gb ram plus the usually lousy Moto camera.

Completely agree with you. I firmly believe that the Droid DNA/J Butterfly/DLX is the second most innovative device of the modern mobile technology world. Second only to the Ubuntu Edge. I think the mistake was making this beast a Verizon exclusive. If they had endorsed the DNA the way they did with the One, or how Samsung has done since the Galaxy S2, they could easily blow the SGS4 and Xperia Z out of the water. Don't get me wrong, the One, S4 and XPZ are all great devices, but the DNA could easily rank right up there with them if HTC had really tried. And that's not even mentioning the Butterfly S. Bringing it to the states and endorsing it on all major carriers could set HTC for eternity. It takes the overall greatness of our DNAs and gives it all the things we love about the One (like boomsound). It's pretty much the ultimate smartphone IMO. HTC needs to play smart in the future, or they'll crash and burn. Hopefully the One's success will teach them this.

The butterfly s is the only new phone I'm really looking foward too. I would pick the DNA over any other phone except it. It really solves all of our issues we had with the DNA . The battery is insane now, finally have more storage, and even though our speaker is amazing on the DNA, who wouldn't want boomsound?

Can you root a stock Samsung phone now without having to deal with that "Rage against the Cage" nonsense? Tried it once on my wife's Facinate and my anti-virus program wouldn't let Rage run, even when I disabled it. (I know there are ROM's with pre-rooted Kernels you can flash. Just flashed rooted GB 2.3.5 kernel to my Galaxy Tab.)

Rage in the cage new? Never had to use it. First root ever was a one click root i found somewhere. Then i used Odin to flash the stock froyo pre-root. I believe i seen a pre-root GB stock over there, too.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I believe "Rage against the Cage" is the exploit scheme that they used on the Samsung one-click boot process. It's been about 6 months since I've tried to root the Facinate, so my memory is sketcy. The upside is that, as you mentioned, there are probably a lot of pre-rooted ROM offerings that can be easily flashed with Heimdall (or Odin, if yer into that).
I agree Sammy makes a good phone. Wife loves her Facinate. Sadly, the Galaxy II never made it to Verizon, but now lots of folks are waiting for the Nexus, which should be out around the end of the month. But I also like the Moto Droid line, now that we've been given some developer attention. The hardware is top notch, and my X2 is running VERY snappy and stable on Moto-Ginger-Funk v7a. I have no reason to want to trade up for a long while yet (unless Google cannot get a handle on their funky Market issue).
Droid Razr looks very sharp (sorry for the pun). I'm a little afraid of the non-removeable battery, though. There are loads of times that I have recoved my X2 from brink of "brickhood" just by pulling the battery and booting into recovery.
I'm not too crazy about the Razr's non-detachable battery. All too often taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to solve a problem, without having that ability on the Razr I'm somewhat concerned.
Odin=Heimdall but for diff operating systems, i believe. When my contract is up, I'm looking into sprint if vzw isn't allowed to launch the SGSII. And no, i have no intentions of turning this thread into a "who it's better sprint or vzw". Carry on w/ upgrade discussion...

I'm pretty sure that the razr has a failsafe two buttons u.press to kill battery connection or something similar

I am upgrading to the ReZound Monday. There are more reasons not to get the Razr, than there are to get it lol. If you are in an X2 now, you are better off either keeping it and riding out your time, or getting the ReZound/Nexus, at least right now.

What led you to the Rezound? Beats audio or the the display?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Well, the headphones alone carry a very hefty price, so getting them "free" for the same price as the other phones is a good incentive(probably why they aren't advertising the phone). I already have the SkullCandy Titan Earbuds, so I really don't NEED the Beats Audio ones. But, the camera's on it are both better. The screen resolution is on par with the nexus on a DX2 size screen. Removable battery, SD storage, unlockable BL, 1.5GHz processor.. Basically, the only "feature" it doesn't carry is the super slim design, and who gives a **** if the phone is lacking in so many other categories? lol.
My moms Stock Inc2 walked all over my X2 with Eclipse before I even put CM7 on it for her! HTC is doing all the right things, even with Sense. Too many people complain about Samsung, and I lived in Korea for 2 years from 07-09, we are getting their leftovers over here(Thanks FCC/FTC, and assholes running patent wars..Apple).
Yeah Im gonna look into adding a line soon. Not sure if I'm going to resound or nexus yet
Rezound looks sick. As does nexus(ICS!) but I can see resound getting ics eventually.
ha. HTC edge I thought about until I saw it was Tegra. I will wait for reviews on that before even trying it lol. This phone has lowered my expectations for tegra devices lol

We did that actually, got the original DX the day they came out. Loved em. I moved from a bb curve and she from a Moto rokr. When the DX gb bugs hit we were offered DX2s and took them since we had the car docks etc. Didn't feel like switching 100 worth of accessories.
AtLemacks right, seems that the Razer with limitations or something without. Hardware is close enough on either one. Why move to another Moto and keep banging your head against the wall like we do daily.

Is anybody thinking of making the switch from their current RAZR/RAZR Maxx?
I don't even see why they made the RAZR HD, it only makes sense to get the Maxx HD in my opinion.
Much as I love the improvements on the new RAZR phones I don't know if the changes are significant enough for me to change phones.
The Galaxy Note 2 looks like a beast, only thing for me is that I don't know how comfortable it will be in my pocket. I've held the first NOTE, although it is huge I can still hold it and use it decent. Just carrying it around seems like a hassle.
I have an AT&T upgrade sitting there and am eyeing the Note 2...but my GSM MAXX + Nexus 7 works fine as-is. Also, the Lumia 920 looks interesting.
Whatever gets my upgrade will be the best possible device out there. We shall see.
Going to look at buying the galaxy note 2, unless rumors start to drop about a nexus device from moto/google.that has as good as specs as gn2.

I am hoping we'll see the next Google phone made by more than one manufacturer. I would definitely look at the Motorola one if the specs were right.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Verizon didn't get the next google phone since big red is totally against development and locking boot loaders. Android is Open Source, it's suppose to be developed on!! Now Verizon needs to approve android updates too? That's bull crap.
I have been in love with the note ever since it was announced.
This Motorola has the best reception and GPS of any phone I have had though so the new RAZR hd maxx is in the running too.
I exercise with my phone so something too big might not work that well.
I don't think a computer would be necessary after the note though.

If it's because of the locked boot loaders, Verizon is locking down Samsung phone's too. Probably all their Android phones now. For me, Motorola has it's pros and cons. I mainly chose my Maxx for the wireless radio and battery life. But I do miss the Samsung camera on the last phone I had. And Samsung software is smoother too.

Its not the same phone. The hboot on the j butterfly states it as the DLX_J. On the ADR6450 the code name is just DLX. So the butterfly is just a varient. That's why HTC stated that phone would not be released in the US and that a similar one would, more then likely the ADR6450.

The Razr Maxx HD is coming with a 3300 mah battery. If HTC plans on putting a 2500mah battery mixed with that 5 inch display, expect battery life to be horrid. I hope they up the battery, that device looks very promising and it would be a shame for them to ruin it with something so simple.
Edit: Also just read that it's rumored to have a non-removable battery. The new Snapdragon S4 pro it comes equipped with does sound great tho.

At least the S4 Pro shouldn't have any problems handling 4g as far as battery life is concerned. The battery size is honestly the only deal breaker.
Samsung Galaxy S3
As long as the battery can last me threw my 16hour day its all good with me. My thunderbolt has no problem doing that and neither did my rezound. I'm sure the s4 will only help. 2500 is still huge compared to the 1400 and 1650 we got before. Stop wining.

Hopefully that s4 combined with the new SLCD3 will provide decent battery life

Hello guys I want your help and your opinion I have a DNA which I am going to sell because of broken digitizer and lack of a good service here in Europe..so hopefully I can get either another DNA or the one...I am a fan of black and red so I believe my DNA is more beautiful than one in some points but the thing is if its going to have that support??what will you do if you had that choices??

I love my DNA but in your situation, I'd take the One without hesitation. Although our support is good (to me) the One will get wayyyy more support due to the widespread release and availability. Personally, I'd do it just for those two b*tchin-azz speakers
I have the Droid DNA and played with the One side by side at the announcement a couple weeks ago. The One has alittle more weight to it. The design of the phone is incredible though. The dual front speakers, etc. And you know they will support the One and delay on the other devices as usual. If you trying to get on VZW though I dont think its coming for them. Right now Tmob, Sprint and ATT.
Its the same phone. Depends on what you like to look at.
After the htc one honeymoon period its just a DNA with metal body.
This goes with every new phone coming out this year.

And a better processor, and camera, and more storage and battery capacity.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you're referring to the new HTC One, if i'm not mistaken about its name, then it would probably be the better choice to pick that because it's 'slightly' better. Not to mention global and will probably give you a little more support.
Although if you had to pay more or wait / do anything special for it. DNA would be my choice, they're both so great that it doesn't really make a difference anymore. Storage could be an issue with some people, but not in my case.
There is only ONE answer
Sent from the HOXL dimension of S-OFF
Go for the HTC One, it will get more ROM support for a longer time, has improved in every aspect over the DNA, and is HTC's only flagship for 2013, or so they say. The DNA may not go beyond sense 5, while the One will surely go beyond

same base CPU with diferent Name. JUST WITH MORE CLOCK... and with a Custom Kernel you can Get 1.9Ghz on your DNA to

Is the DNA with different Chasis thats all...
Diference is the Camera and more Storage and more battery (with custom Kernel and Roms you can get better battery )... I prefer the DNA because is Bigger is nice feels great
i live in mexico and i dont need to be with a carrier and i will wait tile 2014 and see what can me offer the HTC DROID DNA is more than enough for the moment thats my opinion
SAME THING WITH METAL BODY... im fine with 8MP camera ... that takes 1080p Videos

I also love my DNA and i have had many htc phones last one was the HTC One X which is also a super phone and although the HTC One seems like a great solid aluminum phone its been downgraded to a 4.7 inch screen and the 5inch screen has spoiled me and its great on my hands... I will personally wait to check out the Galaxy S4 that apparently looks back at you and u can control with your eyes

The HTC ONE is a better phone in almost all aspects, aside from a .3 inch smaller screen (which is preference anyways). I don't see a reason to get the DNA over the ONE unless you needed Verizon's network or got a DNA for cheap.

ok guys i make up my mind....i will get another dna because i love the black and red combination.....one is the new flagship but i can get dna without paying anything because i sold my dna with broken digitizer for 500usd....also i live in Greece...europe..so verizon it;s not a deal for me....i like silver htc one but is too expensive for me at the moment...having one x+ right now....today i am gonna post my dna...tried sense 5 and i liked it.....thanks for your help...i know that one is a better device but not too far of course...my dna is running smooth...is not laggy or something...like my sensation xe...so...a new dna would be the best choise for me at the moment.....in the future maybe get that "one" but want to have a hands on first....release date for Greece is around the end of April..so right now i will enjoy DNA!

It'll arrive boasting a familiar-sounding 5-inch 1080p display, front-facing BoomSound stereo speakers and Sense 5 as expected. When it comes to internals, the Butterfly s runs Android Jelly Bean on a quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 (faster than the HTC One), an impressive 3,200mAh battery, quad-band HSPA/WCDMA radio, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, expandable once again through microSD. As for imaging, alongside that primary UltraPixel camera and Zoe software features, there's a 2.1-megapixel wide-angle shooter on the front.

Kinda makes me wish I would have waited on the next phone if they do release it as the dna 2. That battery life is gonna be insane. I'm pushing 4 hours screen on time and 16-20 hours of avg battery life. Still love my dna though!
Saw the news that butterfly S will go to Sprint
Would be nice to have the micro SD too...

I didn't even notice the mention of that. Yes that would be very nice as well! I'm fine without it but it still kinda sucks only having 16gb internal.

If it comes to america as the DNA2 the SD card slot will likely be taken out.
The Butterfly 1 had an SD card slot as well.
Information from public post - "I can confirm that no North American carrier has opted to carry this phone at this time."
So where did u get info about Verizon's DNA2?

Well you can also say that no North American carrier carries the Butterfly. Verizon has a variant of it but technically it is not carried here.

Some people have already backed me up but just because I like to defend myself if you'll notice I said possible. As mentioned the Butterfly is the International version of the DNA. Thus one can speculate that the DNA 2 would be a Butterfly Variant. Just because no N.A. carrier has opted to yet doesn't mean that they wont. If Big Red is gonna carry it you know they'll wanna brand it their way and to their specifications. Just thought I'd bring some news to the masses.
Well Verizon started to hype up a new DROID yesterday and today a new butterfly was announced. There could be a DNA2 around the corner. http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-it-again-reveals-new-game-part-new-droid-campaign

Thanks for starting a topic with a promising news. I hope Verizon won't cut "the balls" of it's new droid IF Butterfly S is a prototype for there new flagship device. Droid DNA is the best phone for me at the moment. And Butterfly S is even better. I like the screen size and huge battery capacity.

It seems contrary that they would release the ONE and a DNA-ish device so close together. I have yet to read the article is there confirmation that the S will have a US version?

It does seem contrary to VZW's historic ways to release 2 devices so similar so close together.
However, VZW tweeted about 2 weeks ago that they WOULD be getting the HTC One.
This week VZW tweeted that there is a new Droid coming. They certainly could be referring to the same device. But the DROID DNA is very similar to the Butterfly, so the fact that there is a new Butterfly coming certainly adds a different element to the discussion. Also, the Droid title has historically been applied to a phone NOT in general circulation on other networks in the U.S.
I too haven't seen any direct confirmation that there is a DNA2 / Butterfly 2 coming to the VZW. But I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 new HTC devices launch on VZW, perhaps with a 60 or 90 day difference in the launches. The fact that there have been numerous sales on the DNA certainly leads to the conclusion that the DNA is on the way out ...

Agreed.You also have to think that perhaps they think they can cater the DNA 2 as the big brother to the One. I'm personally thinking along the lines of Motorola with the Razr and Razr Maxx deal. Personally unless you're just going for aesthetics (which apple has proven people will) I see no reason why you'd pick the One overthe Butterfly S. So it may very well not come to the US at all but if it does Samsung had better watch out because HTC is dropping some bombs on the front lines with these new devices.
I agree that they *could* release both like the Razr HD/HD Maxx. But they should just release one. While this is the superior device, if this was released as the Droid One or something you would have people moaning that they said it was going to be the HTC One and expect the device that is out now. They should have kept quiet and released this as the Droid ONE in the fall.
Seriously looks like it could be the DNA 2. With VW hyping up another Droid and is selling out the DNA, I wouldn't be surprised.
