You thought the screen issue was bad on that phone, the HOS has two different processors! You should be OK in the US, but make sure you look into how to tell the S3 vs S4 processor from the outside of the box.

Yea, make sure you get the S4 processor. It is much better. To find out for sure; S4 = 1.5ghz and S3 = 1.7ghz. Trust us, S4 is better. One con about this device, the user only has ~10gb usable storage for music/pictures. Otherwise, great device.
EDIT: Most if not all US devices ship with S4, but be careful any ways.

Thank you for your reply. I saw threads with s3/s4 processors and that T-Mo USA provides only s4 (as far as reports go). I was not able to find any other issues reported in large numbers.. Thanks again!

Trading glacier for galaxy s 4g

Ive got an extra glacier and was offered a local trade for a samsung galaxy s 4g for tmobile. What do you guys think? Is there anything I should watch out for? Is it a fair frade straight across or should one of us add cash?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My girl got a galaxys4g and tho she loves the phone, even I know the mt4g is a better phone in all specs except maybe the screen. If your phone is in excellent condition I would say to add another 50 dollars or more for a galaxy s 4g
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I figured they should add some cash. Plus the galaxy has been dropped.

I had a galaxy S 4g, but traded it back in for a new MT4G. The screen on the GS4G is much nicer than the MT4G and the phone itself functions very well... but the development just isn't there yet.
Keep in mind that it's not just a Galaxy S... it's T-Mobile's variation of the Galaxy S and is a different phone all together. I was highly disappointed to learn I couldn't use any of the ROMs that I had been planning to try, and that the 4G model was in it's infancy for development.

All SamSUX device are same BS its just another Galaxy S mockup with minor H/S revision. Also we must give credit where its due and on the display SuperAMOLED always better than our. I wouldn't take those cheap plastic looking Galaxy S-BS even if they offer me free. I am much happy with MT4G and spent more on it than 2xSG4G at full device price without any contracts.

Thanks for the input so far guys. It seems like I am better off with the glacier. Maybe I will just keep it and try to exchange it through tmobile (due to the washed out screen). I want to exchange both of them but the rep I spoke with only wanted to allow an exchange on one of my lines.

You may not want to exchange if you plan to root your phone I just got my exchange today and it has 2.3.4 on it which at the moment I don't think can be rooted with s on
Ive heard you can downgrade and then acquire s off. Is it worth exchanging if you have the so called bad chip?

Yeah you defiantly don't wan't the bad chip but you may have to tell t-mobile you are having random reboots and you reset your phone or something to exchange it.where did you see the link about rooting a phone with the update on it I can't seem to find it.

You need to know ADB though. My friend just did it and it works.
Oh, and to answer your question, I would make the trade since you have two Glaciers.
The Galaxy S 4G has a higher resale value than the Glacier. Plus I always see people willing to trade their G2x's for a SGS4G.

This is what I was just about to write. I wouldn't get into a debate about which one is better, I've had both and like both. I wouldn't trade my mt4g for another sgs4g unless I had a spare.

It's not a samsung,so no.just knowing I have Odin at my finger tips alone makes me say no.sorry it's just one mans thoughts.good luck.
From a galaxy better than yours.
The design does have its downsides, though. There will no longer be user-replaceable batteries, nor any slot for micro SD expansion. Due to space constraints, these phones will also only be able to use Micro SIM cards.

gosh no...never
gosh no....that's a complete waste of even producing a phone...the specs on it alone make me laugh when my htc g2 would still out-preform the htc one...to jump ship from the galaxy s2 to that...what can i say but happy disappointment, just like the nexus...my two cents
The amaze drove me from ever using htc again. Htc unlock is hella bogus, if you like control over what you buy than htc has pretty much alienated all its loyal customers. With sammy from now on, or until they piss me off again

htc last best release was probably the mt4g.
I have practically played with every other t-mobile released htc phones and I have to say they're all disappointing besides the amaze's camera.
So I would wait for more feedbacks and wait for a htc phone that stands out more than its detailed specs.

The htc One x won't be having the quad core processor due to the fact that it doesn't support LTE. They will be getting an one x but with dual core.
Happily waiting for the SG3. so no
HTC one s has a better processor snapdragon s4 crushes tegra3. Stay away from tegra products. But the lack of expandable storage. Also non removable battery kills that phone cloud storage doesn't make up for expandable storage. Especially if it isn't permanent storage.

Good phone!
is a beautiful phone, but the problem, as on the iphone, there is the possibility to easily change the battery or to use external memory or other devices, a bit limited, but a good phone!
Im not gonna lie. The One X looks nice. They actually made it look good for once. Now, when it comes to waste of money, No. I'll be patiently waiting for the Galaxy S III. Its quad core, 1080p resolution. Samsung is just better anyways.
Maybe HTC one XE?
I'm getting the international version of the One X (one with Tegra 3). I've already pre ordered it from Expansys.... I'm not on AT&T and I could give a crap about their limited LTE. The One S isn't worth it in my opinion and I have T-Mobile...

[Q] Should i get the Sensation, And for how much?

I have 500$ budget for a new phone and i had my eyes on the Sensation for some time now, I see it online for the range of 430$-420$ + 30$ for shipping to Cairo
So its close to the max of my budget considering i will pay tax for it in here, So my question is should i get the Sensation? Does it still worth it? and will it get any future updates? and it seems to be a bit slow on the CPU/GPU side is that true? and IF i should get it what is the right price and from where? If there's a good place selling the International version in Canada for good price i can get my family to get it for me from there, So what do you guys think?
BTW the Gnex is off limits due to its pentile screen and 5Mp camera
You can get one cheaper then that lol shop around or buy off here few people selling them

Hey bro, glad you've decided to get a HTC sensation. One question though, why not get an XE? its newer, bettery battery, plus it comes with awesome ibeats earbuds :-D I mean, in terms of whether or not it will get sense 4, probably not officially but developers here will soon get leaks from HTC to develop sense 4 on root devices. So i would say, yeah if its in your budget, if you're not willing to pay for the HTC one X or the One S, go for the sensation. If rooted, its capability is practically unmatched And yes i say this after owning an SGSII

I need help deciding

I currently have the sensation. I'm up for an upgrade. I have a choice between the one s and the Samsung galaxy s3 . I hate touch wiz and I feel the dev presence is awesome on HTC. But the Samsung is completely awesome. So if I could get feed back it would help. It seems a bit off sided because I can only get one s and not x

Well, if you hate touchwiz, then there's not really anything you can do about it. Of course some experimental sense might come, but they aren't gonna cut it. Go for the one s, you'll not regret it

GS3 has more features. But touchwiz could be gone with cm9 when it comes out or apex launcher to get u by. I will probably return my one s on the 19th since its my last day to return it. But this phone is good though. I just need a removable sd card since u only get 10GBs

Development on the GS3 will be greater, and faster, since Samsung doesn't lock bootloaders, or lock the phones with S-on.

I would go with the S3. It has a bigger display and its hd compared to qHD. Plus it has a micro sd which is incredibly useful since the one S barely has a lil under 10GB of storage.

If it weren't for the size of the GS3, I would say absolutely go with it, since really the only thing the One S has over the Galaxy is its a reasonable size...and sexy slim. Other than that, the GS 3 either matches or trumps the H1S in every other category.

I got this phone free w/ 2 year contract. Its a great upgrade for me. But if I were choosing a phone that money didn't play a part in it, I would get something else.
Get a phone w/ a removable battery and micro SD card.
Sure I'm happy now, but cell phone batteries only last 400 - 500 charges. No way around that. Good class 10 SD cards keep getting cheaper.
I will be sorry after a year or so with this phone. But I'm happy now.

Uk gettin xl

Hey one xl guys so the uk will be getting the one xl on the everything everywhere network. However I have a question, will it be marketed in a different name or still one x? I may buy one for the 4g speeds and currently have a T3 one x. The main reason for asking this is will cases be made for one phone but fit 2 handsets if you get what I mean. Hopefully people who live in regions where there are both will be able to answer

Do we know what the specs are? Is it a bumped up One X + with the supposed tegra 3 processor with LTE? Or is it the S4 chip we have here in the states? I know the cases are slightly different as well and I'm curious as well.

I believe it will most likely be the same as the One XL available in the US with the S4 chip, this is the case due to Everything Everywhere having already announcing that they will be carrying the One XL. If it were to be the One X+ , I feel they would have waited for HTC to announcr the device before carrying it.

There is a possibility that a quad core lte version may come, as this device is said to be coming to Australia, however it'll be more likely that it'll be the S4 version that is currently in the US.

The problem isn't finding cases for the One XL, but hes asking if the One X cases fit the XL. Generally, they do fit. However, if it is a particularly tight case, you may be able to fit it on if it stretches, but good luck taking it off. I'm currently using an Incipio sylicrilic on my One XL, which is made for the One X, but fits both models.
