What phone is HTC G1?
As of last month, I'm due for a phone upgrade from ATT. My first Android phone was the Samsung Galaxy. My phone now is a HTC Inspire and I love HTC.
Anyway, I believe the Galaxy Nexus is coming to ATT soon and it sounds great but I really want to stick with HTC.
I know HTC is coming out with some Windows phones but does anyone know if HTC is coming out with a new android phone on ATT?
Thanks

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I saw a few videos but nothing that changed my mind.
I currently have a wildfire s but seeing now this phone that i have missed, i compared to see these things that i need but lack in my Wildfire S:
Gorrila Glass - I was mistaken thinking Wildfire S had gorilla glass..
Proccesor - Wildfire = 600Mhz , Desire S = 1Ghz
Camera - Both have 5megapixel, though i don't care for the camera, i want a secondary camera which is one of the stronger reasons i want this phone
Internal Storage - Wildfire S has a REALLY big problem with this, and App2SD doesn't fix much
RAM - Slightly more ram
But on the videos on the net i saw, the Wildfire S always won in speed tests and people prefer it more.
My question is do the people prefer wildfire s becouse it is almost the same on a lower price, or becouse it's really faster ?
And also, where do you presume i can buy Desire S at the MAXIMUM LOWEST PRICE, used or whatever. I don't care if it's new or used. i just want it. BADLY.
while it is definitely better than the Wildfire S, it's not worth an upgrade. You'll just be buying an old device in exchange for an older one..... IMO, you should get a One V. Hell, you can get a Sensation for a little more price if you want it

Yea i though about that but i like the Desire S, tho it's like 2 months older than Wildfire S, the One V isn't exactly what i'm looking for, i'm looking for a HTC with a good 1Ghz+ proccesor and secondary camera but the amount of money i have at my disposal isn't high... q_q
The secondary camera is a dealbreaker then. Just check the price of the Sensation. If it's too costly, the Desire S is your only choice.

I see there are HTC Sensation , 4G, XL and XE
It says the 4G doesn't have gorilla glass yet it costs more
Get the regular one if you can. The XE is just OC'd (which you can do yourself) and beats audio. The regular one is cheaper, but not available in some countries now due to the XE.

Before buying desire s, you should read about frying emmc ( sorry if wrong shortcut) chip. Just to know about it

Hmmm... it could be software. If you get it, root it and load a custom ROM on it, hopefully the issues will go away!

Sensation yes, better than Desire S by far, but One V... nope. I would not trade the RAM of Desire S on the RAM of One V.
About upgrading from Wildfire S to Desire S - a big YES on this one, the CPU is far better, the display is far far faaaaaar better, and about anything else is better on the Desire S.
The winner is desire s
To my opinion, if you're looking for device like Wildfire S, and its size properties are satisfies you, maybe you should also have a look to Desire C (prev. Wildfire C). It has the latest OS and Sense.
Sorry if I'd mistaken.

Sensation now has the official upate to ICS, so i think for developers it's more easy to find drivers for all workign functions, opposed to Desire S (kernel 3.0 is still in development).
Try to look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112 or maybe CM9 official forums...
Hello Guys,
I have the same old Sensation XE problem of WiFi, Hotspot and Bluetooth which i took to HTC Customer Care only to get a reply "I tried downloading your update but our servers are down so the download gets terminated in between...please visit tomorrow".....same thing since more than a month. I have grown tired by that and i have stopped visiting.
Anyways, my question....do you think the XE will get a JellyBean update sooner (India) ? If yes then i would like to wait for it. But it not....i just downloaded recently uploaded stable CyanogenMod 9 and i am so tempted !!!
Thank You
:highfive:

At least three.
Remember how many phones were released after the Sensation:
Two One X
One S
Two One V
Desire V
Desire C
Droid Increditble 4G LTE
Evo 4G LTE
Rezound
Amaze
Vivid
There are more, but I forgot/don't care to remember.
I don't think they will because updating the sensation means they have to update Sense 3.6 AND Sense 4 to JB. I don't think they will want to go through the trouble
I don't need the crap stock....
Any way it will be ported as sense 4 did.....

The One X has Sense 4, so if Sense 4 needs updating to work on JB then they'll be doing that anyway, and we know the Sensation can run Sense 4 so it's not going to be that difficult for HTC to release a JB update for the Sensation.

I agree but in terms of support HTC would have to support multiple versions and will probably choose not to do that as it == $$$$ in costs. It's just cheaper for them not do so and get us mugs to just buy newer phones.
Or, go to something like CM10.
I think if the Sensation will get the 4.1 update, you will know about in a few months. Remember that the first 4.0 update was available for Sensation & XE.
I think XE will get Jelly Beans, but maybe not sense4. Sense4 includes burst and HDR camera functions needing the image chip which XE doesn't have.
Sense 3.7 with android4.1 is most possible I think.

I guess the One S has 1GB RAM if i am not wrong ? which would make a difference i guess...but rest otherwise you are absolutely right all of the things are same

Yeah, considering they took so much time rolling out update outside europe i am a bit skeptical about it. More that that Desire HD which i used, got its 2.3.5 update (from 2.3.3) got its update after 2 months of ICS release and i am hopeless about them releasing udates on time.
i see the desire hd saga all over again from htc ,im sure htc wont update sensation to jb ,but im curious what will be the excuse
Short HTC Support Cycles?
So what's the support cycles on HTC these days? Six months? Seems upgrade support is dropped after six months because HTC are falling in to the Nokia trap. Release a bewildering array of phones to 'meet every market niche', spread themselves thin and drop support for last seasons 'bewildering array of phones' after only six months.
Samsung seem to be offering longer support cycles now?
This is where Apple just keep beating Android hands down. Imagine the uproar if Apple dropped upgrade support on an iPhone 6 months after release. Their support is more like two years?
Not happy HTC. I fear you will go the way of Nokia!
I love Sense but with HTC's build quality brand damage last year and ever shortening support cycles, I'm struggling to understand why I shouldn't just go Samsung like everyone else.
How far HTC has fallen. They were once the de-facto Google partner. Now even Google won't touch them.

According to HTC Facebook page.
It'll come when it comes
Interesting! Even if it doesn't come directly, we might be able to port it if the DNA gets it - the first working Sense JB ROM for the One XL was ported from the DNA, if I remember correctly.
We have amazing developers working on our device - I have confidence! :good:
That would be cool if it happens.
And remember, we just need one carrier to push it out to one compatible device (One X, EVO LTE, DNA) in order to get a port. Complaining about AT&T is not necessary here.
i would guess people in xda will port it before the official even rolling.
sounds great http://www.androidauthority.com/htc...terfly-to-get-sense-5-in-a-few-months-163296/
the full quote from the Facebook post is:
HTC will be offering upgrades to some of its existing devices in the next few months, including global variants of HTC One X, One X+, One S and the HTC Butterfly. Also, note that some features enabled by the new HTC One hardware will not be available in the software updates.

When they say "global variants" I'm assuming that doesn't include the One XL? what does everyone else think?

I think you're absolutely right. Highly doubt an official update will come through normal channels. The Devs here come out with updates on a more reliable and consistent basis than even the best companies out there.

I can state with absolute certainty that this is not the case.
In all likelihood, AT&T will never push out a Sense 5 update to the One X. It would hurt sales of their flagship Sense 5 phones.

I can tell you with some confidence that neither our one x or the quad core one and the one s won't see sense 5 officially... Weather they release kernel source(for our device for sense 5 android 4.2) is a different story and unlikely ..I can maybe see the one x+ getting it and Mayne the droid dna
