change from galaxy nexus to one s - HTC One S

hey guys
i have the opportunity to change my 2months old galaxy nexus against a brand new htc one s without paying something.
would you buy the one s over the galaxy nexus or are you happy with your one s

the galaxy nexus is a great phone. The one s is also a great phone..
if you can get the one s and it wont cost you a penny. do it
i got my one s for free too, Otherwise i probably would have stuck with my old phone (sensation)
but hey you got nothing to lose

I'm also in the same boat. If i still like the One S After checking it out a T-mobile store (im a bit worried about the screen). I am confident ill find someone willing to swap for a galaxy nexus

+1 for being in the same boat. The only thing holding me back is a few reviews I have read made mention of the sub-average reception on the HTC One S.

The reception issue was addressed by T-Mobile and a fix or correction to the software will be made to the handsets before the customers receive their phones. But I'm just recycling information. I take reviews with a grain of salt as far what people have to say about screen and such. Everyone has an opinion and compares said A to Said B. Check the phone out, if you like it get it. If not there are many other phones out there. Enjoy technology!
Cheers.

Will the Nexus S on sprint kill the image of having Nexus phone?

Have you ever had that moment when people tell you, What's so good about your phone? Well I have and I reply because it's the phone that you don't have. Not that many people know about the Nexus line. If Sprint does offer the Nexus S will it have the same unique feeling that it has to own a Nexus device. How would you see of your walking down the street and you see someone with the same phone?

Who cares? Are you insecure or something that you need another person's opinion or have an "exclusive" phone to make you feel good?
It's not really insecurity. The reason I ask this if I was the only person that felt this way. I upgraded from and Evo and I work for Radio Shack. Mostly everyone has an Evo and half the people don't even know how to use it. Honestly the reason I say this. The nexus line is not one of your everyday phones that everyone has....that's why.

I kinda feel the same as you. I kinda like walking down the street and seeing no one with a Nexus phone. I think it will definitely lose that unique feeling once you can walk into a t-mobile or sprint phone and buy one...

And this is why I don't care about other people's opinion. When it's all about image and bragging rights, then I am reminded of the fact that half the population is below average in intelligence.
Ya, I felt the same way with my N1. The N1 was my very first smartphone, then moved on to NS . I choose N1 because it wasn't being sold in stores, it wasn't an iPhone, and because Google helped create it. Its just nice having something unique.
The nexus s is a great phone and it doesn't matter who has it in their carrier because google wouldn't let it be branded which makes the nexus line what it is.

One of.the things I loved about the nexus one was that no one had it. I saw only two here in miami and I work in a cell store. I loved that phone it was special I regret changing for this one.to be honest. I don't want ten million people with the same phone as me. Its why I bought a nexus. That's the point of Google having a phone. So that the true android users can have something crappy two year upgrade I want a rebate people can't have. Hello people realize there Fu..... us. 4g nexus now? I can't even use Pandora and drive because my signal goes in and out. The nexus one was perfect. !

there will be more accessories from otterbox and casemate when more ppl buy this phone.. that's a good thing.
the more people having the same phone the better
as it encourages more development and support
it also translates into more longevity before you need to switch to another phone

First one is true, but more development is also encouraged by the fact that it is stock Android. I can imagine it's easier to develope on.
I don't know why the second one would be true. If many people buy a certain phone (for example the Galaxy S), the producer wants to make a second one, the Galaxy S II in this case. You, jealous as you are, buy that phone. Also, a unique phone is still cool after 2 years, because you can still say: look what I have! No one will recognise it.
I don't think it will ruin the image of the Nexus line.
I think that this is a good phone and im surprised that not so many people have it actually.
I've seen a grand total of 1 Nexus One and 1 Nexus S in the wild since the phones have been launched. The Nexus S being mine.
I didn't get the Nexus S to be a special unique snowflake, I got it because of the stock android experience and updates directly from Google. Though, other phones seem weird to me wince I'm so used to the curved glass display on this phone.
I'll honestly never understand people who feel the need to be special.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I don't have a nexus s, and I don't mean to cause any problems. I do feels like google has soldout the nexus line to the highest bidder. I was jealous of nexus users because the name nexus to me meant a developers phone and seeing one in the wild meant the owner knew a thing or two about roms and xda. It still means that, but thoses days are numbered now that sprint will be releasing the phone. I wonder if they're going to be insuring the phone. Again I mean no disrespect or anyone on the forums.

Honestly I don't think sprint is going to release their Nexus S version. That page could just be from the Nexus One.
i like the phone but if other carriers get it i will be parting ways. everywhere i go i see a iphone 4, i dont want that feeling with the nexus s. when i had the nexus one i seen one other person with it. now you can walk into best buy and buy one
I'll only be bothered by the Sprint NS if it's better spec-wise (not counting 4G - which it'll supposedly have - since I'd have to drive 3 hours to the nearest WiMax signal anyway).
The technologically uneducated masses may buy the phone because it's touted as the best android device and available on vodaphone, but its the best phone because it's so modable.
we all know the average user doesn't have a clue about half of the capabilities of their phone, the joy of the nexus for me is that modding becomes a hobby, trying new roms, overclocking, etc, and because the nexus is google native, mods are easier, and the updates come quicker!

Another "I can't make up my mind" thread?

Hi guys and the girl that looks like a guy.
Ok so here it is, I'm on GayT&T and currently have the HTC Inspire on contract. Done a million things with it, grew bored and went and picked up a Samsung Nexus S off contract.
No i'm not "ballin" but time after time with my Inspire I went for CM7 and the whole AOSP thing, so I said screw it and went and picked one up.
Here is the hard part, I have untill the 27th, which my 30 return policy runs out at Best Buy.
I love the Nexus S completely stock, the camera is the only thing I dislike about it.
My Inspire, battery sucks, GPS never worked, build quality is **** and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it.
Ok now the really hard part.
Samsung Galaxy SII is rumored for launch via GayT&T sometime this week! Phone looks to be amazing, only problem is the 4.3" display.
After owning the Nexus S I have become quite fond of the smaller size and it feels great.
So I don't know if I should return the Nexus S then turn around and buy the SGSII off contract, which I havent seen a price yet, but you all know what I payed for the NS so what do you think?
HELP ME I'M GOING [email protected]!#!!
not a fan of Nexus S, had it since it came out december 2010
good phone, but poor reception, no SD card slot
SGS2 is definitely the phone to go for, excellent in every way, and you can still run stock Android on it if you wanted to CM7 is already out for SGS2
if i were you i'll definitely return the Nexus S and get the SGS2
but don't expect to see anything for less than $600
you don't need to wait for GayT&T to release SGS2
the international version works just fine for the GayT&T network, not to mention it's unlocked from factory
the GayT&T version might be locked
Thanks for the reply, I feel like I'm in the world series and I'm in a pickle between home and 3rd in a tied game in the bottom of the ninth. Lol

Keep the Nexus S, even though the sgs2 is suppose to be faster, with all the bloatware and everything else on it that takes up RAM, you'll find no matter what phone even the EVO 3D will not be as smooth as NS. I highly suggest you keep it over the sgs2 you'll regret returning it, I'm willing to bet.

I'm having a hard time talking myself into returning the NS, jerked off by att once again today I was hoping to get some phone time in store with the Sgs2.
I feel like I'm gonna regret returning my NS whereas everything on this phone works flawlessly. Fml I really don't know what I wanna do. Lol
The only other thing in the back of my mind is that fact of how much I paid for this phone. Ugh

It may be years ahead, but it will never be as smooth as the NS, NS4G. Non develeoper phones have to much bloatware, and crap taking up ram. Where Nexus has nothing but android. Plus you see almost every phone forum trying or has developed AOSP to be exactly like the nexus. Everyone wants it, but no one will ever have it as flawlessly as we do, plus nexus gets updates 10x faster. Overall better.

I'd really recommend getting the Galaxy SII (not Skyrocket).
Just. Plain. Old. Sexy. Classy. SII.
The Skyrocket has a larger screen (4.5"), but from what I hear, it seems to have a few more issues than the SII original. Regardless, I still hear it's a great phone, but I think as far as getting future updates and Samsung support, original Galaxy SII is the safest bet.
If you really want a huge phone, look at the Galaxy Note.
And... Stay away from the Infuse. It's considered really old and outdated now. Yes, it's still a perfectly usable phone and it performs everyday tasks wonderfully. But when you can get the SII now for $100 or less, I just don't see why you'd want to lock into 2 years with a phone that is already a year old.
Plus, if you're a gamer, you definitely want to go with SII and not the Infuse. The RAM difference makes some games not be "compatible" with the Infuse.
To be honest, stay away from Samsung phones. I have two, a captivate and a infuse. I'm over Samsung because of the way they shelve their phones after a couple of months and all the problems in their software. I bought an Atrix 2 and its the best phone i have ever had. At first i wasnt sure about it because its a moto phone. Now that i have had it awhile i recommend this phone to anyone. Best battery life, 4 gb of space for apps and i got an over the air update on the second day of me having the phone. Its on the list for a ics update too. I have not had one single problem with this phone. Just my opinion but i would not get a samsung.

I guess I'm a Samsung fan boy. I have always had a Samsung, even before smart phones. I had a Captivate which I gave to my wife when I went with an Infuse. Really love the big screen and I would get a Note if I had the money.....Really doesn't matter if AT&t never pushes out any updates, because I am running CM7.
I recommend the Galaxy S II (i777). I like the Infuse and Skyrocket, but the i777 is perfect. I'd also recommend the Skyrocket over the Infuse, purely because of the RAM difference. The Infuse can't be my daily device, because I need more RAM. So, in my opinion . . .
Galaxy S II (i777) > Skyrocket > Infuse
Samsung may have its issues with software, but theres no denying that their products are well made. Almost everything in my house is made by Samsung. They never die.
That aside, what is your budget and requirements? If you have the money and like the size, get a Note. I've heard nothing but good things about it and developers here are already playing with it. There doesn't seem to be any love for the Skyrocket though. If you're strapped for cash, I'd definately look into the Infuse. The price fluctuates from $50 to free sometimes, so you might get a great deal on one. It's one of the best phones I've ever had. All of the software issues have already been resolved by the devs here. While it may be a little dated by 2012 standards, it handles almost everything I throw at it and you just can't brick it. That's something those ****ty HTCs and Motorolas can't claim.

Not bad
The infuse is a nice phone from what I have experienced. Doesn't look like it will get CM9 though so I would avoid it.
The screen is absolutely beautiful despite it's pitiful resolution. The colors are stunning and viewable from all angles making pictures better looking than what you took a picture of! Also sometimes I forget I am reading off of my phone when using google books and think it's my kindle.
RAM is pitiful (512?! Really Samsung??) but the phone operates smoothly despite.
Battery life is better than anything HTC has to offer.
I am personally looking for an Atrix 4g and it's laptop dock. Pretty sweet combo.
I got the skyrocket. Nice phone.

Farewell One S Users !

Hey guys, Just letting you all know I will be ditching the One S tomorrow... I've got the Galaxy Note.
I know your thinking ''WTF?!?!?!'' But i had so many issues with the One S (signal related) it was driving me mad, I was offered the S3 (at a hefty price) or the Note, for free, So I took it.
When I first saw the Note I thought ''OMG Thats Hideous, Its waaaay too big'' But the more I saw it, the more I liked it !
My other contract is up soon so I will get the SGS3 then.
So thanks to every one who helped me since day one, I will be moving on to the Note forums as of tomorrow
I will still keep my Help Thread updated as much as possible, And will continue to help as and when I can.
Take care & good bye

I'm also considering to leave if I can except I just can't agree to pay the same price for a Galaxy Nexus that have much lower specs everywhere except with the screen and software side... (It's my only choice on my carrier (screw the Razr will ya?))
You are really lucky to have other choices like a Note.
I can't believe that HTC didn't offer a fix for the low signal... Oh, and there still no way to use Skype which I will really need starting next week...

hey azzledazzle,
i really appreciated the way you where getting on top of the issue with the virtual button mess, really liked your input. i counted you in for one who's pushing the issue further with HTC.
So, i find it a bit hard that you "gave up" on it but totally understandable on the other side. My One S is literally doing my head in (wife threw it at me in anger) with that perfectly unusable state its in. It sits there, playing with its screen and buttons just like its gotten its own mind but i cant make it do anything else most of the time.
So if it was like that for you, i can only repeat myself: i do understand. Still i find it a bit sad.
my opinion on the note: am working on it for my brother and i find it disappointing. Samsungs surface is stupid, KIES is like having one leg amputated, cant really go anywhere with that code, the phone hides anyones head while at it (just for the lolz of it), its too big. seriously.
And as a tablet, its too small. But as i said, my opinion
Good luck on your new adventures mister Azzle!
Hey mate,
Have fun with the Note, its been my primary device for 7 months now. Its a great phone. After a while its size becomes normal.
As for the comments above, i find it a perfect size, its like having a tab on you at all times. My only gripe is touchwiz, i do prefer sense.
Peace!

I can't say as I blame you. I getting pretty sick of my One S. Brilliant phone except it has next door to useless signal reception. It spends 3 to 4 hours a day without signal - which irritates when I know signal is good. What to replace with I dunno but this issue is likely to sicken me off HTC. Won't be the Note though as far too big for me :laugh:
Galaxy nexus
Same here. After two months I am getting rid of it for Galaxy nexus $349 from the play store. We have minimal support for this device. Thanks to cm9 devs anyways.
It make no good to have powerfull phone that cannot multitask or have no completed custom ROM. And now Jelly Bean. By the time ONE S gets JB Google will announce next nexus probably this fall with KEY LIME 5.0
Better have slightly outdated hardware that prrobably will not be much noticable and have up to date software, vanilla or custom ROM with no issues.
And HTC and their delayed kernel source release. SIII released it before device was on the market. That how you get developers love.
I really wanted to love this phone, but yesterday I had a chance to exchange it for a new one in the box to see if it fixed my signal/wifi issues or get the Galaxy S3. Every smartphone I have owned has been HTC so I was nervous, but I opted for the S3 and all I can say is wow. It's an awesome phone and completely blows the One S out of the water for my needs.
I knew going into the the One S I would be making concessions on things I wanted such as an SD card slot and removable battery. Its a super sexy phone, but if you can't use it as a phone it does me no good, too many dropped/missed calls and poor wifi. I hope they do fix the signal issues for those who keep it and I'm glad some people were experiencing no problems.
HTC really needs to up their game on the next round of phones, I gave them extensive feedback online and they even called to follow up, which was nice. I told them I have owned a G1, MT3GS, G2, MT4GS and One S and enjoyed them all with the exception of the OS. I did have a seperate issue with them concerning the MT4GS and replacement parts that irritated me as well.
Best of luck to you all and thank you for all the help and resources from this forum!

Thinking of trading in my One S

Hi everyone I'm thinking of trading in my One S for a Galaxy S II due to more support from Samsung for updates etc and the fact it has sd card support any thoughts on this would be appreciated
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I wouldn't trade it for a Galaxy SII. And don't be misled by the amount of updates, you're still stuck with a different layer on top of vanilla Android. And, personally, I'd rather be caught walking around with the HTC One S. Except for the loose SIM-cover, it's a very robust yet elegant device, whereas the GSII is still mostly iPhone-esque plastic. But that's just my taste. If you're willing to trade purely for support (and perhaps compatibility and other Android experience related things), I'd get the Galaxy Nexus. (Still Samsung and I still have my complaints about the hardware design, but it's not bad and software is definitely on the front. You'd get Jelly Bean very quick (roll-out started already) too, and that's by far the most stable and smoothest Android experience you're going to get this year, until the next Nexus comes out.

You dont need to wait for updates from HTC just use custom roms all the goodness of a stock rom with all the bloat taken out and much better battery life, Samsung are the worst for updates they never fix the major issues, im never buying a samsung product again, they are cheap and badly made
DONT DO IT !!!
Why trade it in for something older and of a lesser spec ?
If anything you should upgrade it, or trade for something of equivalent specs, Head over to the XDA market place, Im sure you could find some good deal there !

He won't on XDA. Had a guy trying to convince me that my One S was only worth 250-300 dollars. He'll get a lot of offers for GSII.
Better off doping someone to trade on Craigslist for a GSIII or waiting.
