Just curious on what other LGOG users think of the HTC One announced today? I had the international HTC One X and really liked the phone, the camera was leaps and bounds better than the one on the LGOG. The LGOG camera, IMHO, is just ok.
The reason I left the One X for the LGOG was because AT&T lit up LTE in my area just as the LGOG was launched. I didn't hear great things about the One X+ so I went for the LGOG.
NOPE!

From what I've seen there's a quite a few people here who came from the HTC Inspire, which HTC screwed out of an update and have no feelings towards HTC. I happen to be one of those, I'll never buy another HTC phone
Nope,next question........

Conflicted
I'm really conflicted about it. I really love my LGOG after the N4 Conversion (with fixes, of course) but I also love my sister's HTC One which has a better display, and camera (IMO). I don't know... I'll probably check it out when it comes out but keep my LGOG till my contract ends.
Is it true it's only coming out 4.1.2? Just curious curious and no om enjoying my LG too much!

The HTC One looks like a great device! But I'll probably wait for my 2 year to finish up. I'm pretty content with the LGOG.

Me too. At least the development was fantastic though.
Nope. I came from the One X (AT&T variant) and while the camera was top notch, the locked bootloader, 2.20 root fiasco and a pretty locked down device isn't worth it. It was also my first HTC device and after experiencing Sense firsthand they can take that crap and shove it. It kills the device and is about as laggy and bad as Motoblur in it's heyday.
Now having vented about it I will say this, the device is still within the family AND that dev community here on XDA is topnotch and first rate. Very helpful to noobs and very, very good at getting the device blazing fast and customized.
HTC is just not for me as far as manufacturers go and I won't ever be owning another one unless it's free.
Man what are we going to buy? I got a moto one time. Everybody swore they would not buy another. So I got a sammy. Burned again. So i thought ok its because I'm not buying flagships. So I got the vivid practically on release day. Worst decision ever. Now I got this phone. Which I happen to love. U know every phone I own eventually got Aosp. I think it just does not happen fast enough for some people.

Not at all. HTC makes good devices, but there's no guarantee that you will be able to unlock the bootloader, for OS upgrades (I never count on AT&T providing support for the devices that they sell). In addition, the LGOG more than meets my needs for the foreseeable future. Why spend money if I don't see it as a meaningful upgrade.

Yeah the developers made up for it in most ways! They thumbed their nose at htc
This phone only came out in November. Assuming most people got the phone with a 2 year upgrade, people may be tempted but unless they are rich, nobody's going anywhere.

Bah. If you don't mind switching carriers it is easy to break the contract, sell the old phone for most /all of the ETF. So getting new phones isn't really that hard financially - If you are willing to change carriers.
I go back and forth between Verizon and AT&T about yearly...

This is what I do, except I don't always switch between VZW and AT&T. Most of the time I can buy a phone outright keep it for 6 months sell it and buy a new one. It's amazing the deals you can get on eBay and Craigslist. If you do it right, you are out of pocket $200 to $300 a year which is what everyone pays to get a phone on a 2 year contract.
Posssibly. It seems a neat phone, but I will wait for the reviews. I'm getting more and more hiccups and glitches in my OG, and I believe at least 2 are hardware. I hate HTC, but I like metal phones and stereo sound. We'll see.

I came from HTC evo 3d , rooting , unlocking were fairly easy, it was getting the s-off that was a pain! I don't know if anyone had the "wire trick" fun lol. But after all that I had 4.2 cm10 and man that device screamed!
Now , I have never owned a lg but besides the slow go on development, which is just because the phone is so new and waiting for true jb release to att . I love this phone! Took me a while to get over my flashaholic nature , and with aosp to come out any day I'm excited!
The camera is sketchy, but if your trying to take professional photos, get a real camera in my opinion. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever look back at HTC ,
Its not about what you know , but who you know.
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.

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

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

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

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!

Cool story, bro.
Actually traded because I can actually enable the 1700mhz band on the s4 unlike the HTC one. I'm switching over to t mobile so this was the main thing. Also I figured it'd be easier to trade the s4 for an actual t mobile phone (Xperia Z) since more people know about the s4. Flawed logic to some but oh well.

Just curious, the T-Mobile version of the One doesn't support 1700 mhz? I'm an AT&T user, so I'm unfamiliar with such things.
The t mobile version does support the 1700mhz band. I'm switching to t mobile and taking my phone with me in October. The att htc one doesn't support the 1700mhz band for t mobile so it would have been crippled on t mobile's network.

sometimes people want to be strange/rude/etc, kayone73. I can't think of any legitimate reason to try to drum up interest by saying "IM GETTING RID OF MY PHONE AND GETTING A DIFFERENT ONE". This shouldn't even be a thread, honestly.
Enjoy the SGS4, honestly you cannot go wrong with either phone.
Regardless, this thread doesn't actually have anything to do with the HTC One as regards informational purposes so I am going to lay it to rest.

It looks really good, I am thinking about leaving HTC and jumping on to LG (especially since the One mAx has been confirmed not to be running the snapdragon 800.

I dont think I would trade my s4 for it. The main reason is that is is LG. I had the thrill which was in my opinion was one of the best feature filled phones but there was no software upgrade/fix support.

If you're like me, you're ready for a new phone every year around this time. I was hoping to see a DNA2/Butterfly2 from HTC, but that doesn't look like its going to happen. Alternatives are few unless you want to go Max-sized with the HTC One Max, but at 6", that's just too darn big. I thought the Note series was too big, but the Max has even topped that.
Anyway, for those of you looking to move past the DNA (don't get me wrong - it is still a GREAT phone, especially running Viper 2.0!), what are you thinking?
Maxing out with the One Max? :cyclops:
Settling for Samsung?
Trying to Live Good with LG G2?
Or just holding out until something better comes along?
I voted for the One max in the poll above, but honestly I might be turned away by the huge size. I already have trouble typing one-handed on my DNA sometimes, but the expandable memory and huge battery would be a nice upgrade for sure.
If the size puts me off, I'll probably just wait for whatever follows up the HTC One. I'm grandfathered into unlimited data anyway, so I'll likely be buying whatever my next phone will be either at full retail or from eBay/Craigslist/Swappa.
I was really looking forward to the One Max. I wouldn't mind the bigger size because of the idea of using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard on remote desktop. However, now that the specs are officially released by HTC, there's no way I'm settling for the Snapdragon 600. Considering other recently released devices are using the Snapdragon 800, like the Note3, HTC is making a huge mistake with the slower processor. I'd like to stay with HTC, but I'm not settling for a 600. I'm starting to lean towards a Note3 but I'll probably wait for the price to come down a bit.

Nothing that's a big enough improvement yet. The One is barely better than the DNA, and the Max is just a blown up version of the One.
Nexus 5 likely won't be on Verizon, so I'll be waiting for next year's flagships.

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.

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?
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!
iPhone 6
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.
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.
