Late night forced a mini usb into the charge port of my MT4G. Sweet talked t-mobile retentions into $99 upgrade 3 months early. Fixed the MT4G and now the wife uses it after her G2 died.

Just got done installing sense 2.1 on my HTC g1 went to sleep my wife to be woke me up with a One S in hand saying "I know you like that sense stuff so I got you the phone with the newest sense" and that's how I got my one s.

Had G2x stolen. Got Exhibit 2 as a replacement while HOS was released. That got stolen as well. Had to use mom's upgrade to get the HOS and Tmobile forced me into getting a data plan on her line. She has a flip phone...

Got rid of my G2x for I believe $200-250ish. Upgraded to HOS in June

my htc one s just materialized on my desk several month ago. my theory is that aliens from a distant galaxy :cyclops: wanted to aquire earthly (High Tech Computer) technology but were discontent with htc's bootloader (locking) policy and therefore randomly transported it from their vessel.

Bricked my vibrant after two years of flashing. An excuse to upgrade

Got my HTC one s as an HTC amaze warranty replacement. That phone sucked :/.

I actually just wanted to buy an HTC Desire HD, but my local store sold the last device a few minutes before I entered, so I decided to buy the HOS ^^
Running good so far, but sadly the Development Section is not far as active as the HOX one :-/
Gonna give my Device to my girlfriend, who has a HTC Wildfire S right now ( poor little thing ) and buy an HOX instead.

I have lost my old Sensation so I got an HTC one S from EBAY

I read the reports of the One S at MWC 2012 and was already almost decided that it would be the replacement for my HTC Desire. The hardware specifications and the early benchmarks against the One X sealed the decision and I bought it SIM free on preorder from Clove.
Unfortunately this story's ending is not that happy - after my One S needed repair, HTC decided to give me a replacement - the S3 version . After complaining at them for 4 weeks with no success, I sold the replacement unit (being essentially brand new did help the resale value).

I sold my MT4G on craigslist for $350 and my girlfriend paid the rest since I went out and bought her a $600 coach purse for our 2 years.

Walmart misadvertisment

Check this out. Since when did the sensation have a 4.5 inch amoled touchscreen?
Come on Walmart, really?!
At least they didn't call it a Droid
whoa, this is a big mistake.
Maybe Samsung and HTC joined forces and made this phone just for walmart

The phone in the picture is not even the Sensation.
Looks like it's the Evo 4G since the Sensation is under T-mobile while the one in the ad says Sprint.

Keeping this phone?

Ive been debating on returning this phone for a Samsung galaxy note. I love flashing random themes etc. But I'm inpatient.. would the note be a better choice or should I just suck it up and expect great things to happen
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Suck it up. One x is miles ahead of note in terms of, well, everything. Other than screen size. But 4.7 superlcd2 just blows it away.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
The note is very akward. We really just got this ones x thing in some sort of working order a few days ago. Roms are starting to show up, themes are coming. There is no phone better than this.

I had the galaxy nexus...horrible phone. Camera sucks, battery was the worse battery i have ever delt with. And besides miui, all the roms are the same IMO, stick with this beast of a phone, once kernel source is released this will take off.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

I had the international One x sold it because of screen getting yellow spots and it was overheating. Just got the GN and is far better smooth and very fast. Faster then HTC One X. And its still stock.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

Because it is made by Samsung, the world largest plastic consumer.
I personally like sense4 when its modded a little bit I have the gnex and the Rogers hox... The one x is clearly a better phone just in build quality alone. I kept my gnex for tinkering and when the next big release of Android comes out

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

HTC successor

Do you guys think that HTC will release a new phone later this year to compete with the iPhone 5 since their "flagships" weren't really worth that title?
Sent From My OrDroided Sensation 4G
Maybe they'll do a sort of bump to the One X like they did the XE to the Sensation but they said they'd release less phones so that remains to be seen. Perhaps they'll see how well their sales are and then decide?
That said I do feel the One X is a worthy flagship for HTC but that's just my opinion.
Well I talked to a HTC rep at the beginning of the year concerning the possibility of super amoled in the sensation and afterwards ha asked if there was any advice I had for HTC ( along those lines) and I said not not release as any phones as their flagship devices get extremely quickly outdated. He said that HTC were only going to release the one series but somehow I doubt that is true.

The one x is a good phone but what killed it out here is that it has no removable battery and I have T-Mobile USA so they don't even offer the one x...only the one s which really isn't an upgrade.
Sent From My OrDroided Sensation 4G
But they are planning to release a one x aren't they?
Don't blame me here or anything but I've heard from rum ours they might release a quad-core snapdragon s4....

I haven't heard anything about that. Only rumors I hear about T-Mobile is the note and gs3 being released....no HTC products

Who's updating to htc one x plus

I still haven't had the chance to upgrade. I been wanting a galaxy nexus, but haven't found a price that suits me. Even my tmobiles contract is about to be up in October. Now htc one x plus is around the corner. How many of you guys are waiting for the one x plus.
Im definitely gonna check it out, but Im not loving the rumored specs tbh
My next phone will be either the next HTC flagship for TMo or the new Nexus device.
A leak shows it has att LTE network on it, maybe tmobile won't get it Idk
actually for me i'll stay to my lovely sensation surely for one year more
i'm not switching devices so frequently

Pretty much. I have no contract so I just buy my phones used (got this one for 200 six months ago) or full price, and I'm probably going to wait another generation for the next Nexus phone. Until my Sensation can't do something serious, there's no reason to upgrade other than to get something new.
I will, however, be considering a tablet with a keyboard like the new Surface that Microsoft is releasing. That is, once I see the price.

Same here, my next phone definitely won't be HTC though. Because of the lack of updates and such. I'm going to getting the nexus when it is released. Already have saved up for it. Just waiting for a release date.

HTC One X+ was actually going to be my next device (due for an upgrade in October as well), but now Im thinking I might hold off. I havent seen too much about the One X+, specs look OK but still have yet to see an official pic of the phone. not a fan of Sense either, but I actually do like HTC's build quality (minus the speaker on the Sensation). its a toss up between the One X+ or Nexus' next device
Well guys I gave in and got the galaxy S3. I'm running paranoid android ROM and its been sweet. Getting sick battery life and not missing sense as of yet.
Hell I'm not even missing my sensation.

HTC is literally paying for theirs mistakes

Here is an article from gsmarena "HTC sales continue to plummet in February"
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sales_continue_to_plummet_in_february-news-5654.php
I little disagree with the writers opinion that the drop is hardware related, as we all said several times before- it's only support related, or should i say "lack of support"?
HTC releases to many phones. HTC one x than one x+ than HTC one. All flagship devices in one year. They need to follow Samsung and apple. Release one great phone each year and support it for at least 2 to 4 years. What HTC does is release one phone and than 3 months later release a new one and drop the support for the old phone. That is why my next phone will not be the HTC any more.

Exactly! it's just nice to see their stocks and rates going down... not as fun as to see apple's stocks going down but still nice enough :victory:
Hi,
Samsung is also producing many new phones every year.
The problem with HTC had been their poor marketing and poor after sales support.
The 2012 One series have been poor marketed, with an awful wallpaper. Also quite overpriced compared with Samsung devices.
The performance of HTC devices has also not been the best. Our devices have always been shower than Samsung (in stock condition)
My next device will probably be a Nexus. I'm really tired of waiting forever for an update.
HTC should consider giving the option to buy a device running an AOSP Rom.
