Hello!
I am very happy with my G4 but I want to return to HTC, I just can't live without their UI and metal casing.
What is a better choice?
A9 which is newer but screen is smaller or the M9+ which has a bad camera but a very good screen QHD + 5.2''?
I sold my M9 because I had sometimes trouble reading text as I have some astigmatism, is the Amoled screen of the A9 better for text reading or I should definitely take the M9+?
If i had choice i would take the m9+ but the black band on the m9+ make me get the a9 .. the a9 is a very good phone too ..
I've had both and I would choose the A9. I love the form factor and the screen. The GPU in the M9+ is worse than A9.
A9 is just beautifull
I do not know the M9, but the A9 is the best *gg* .
Like the A9 better, except the processor...they really need an M10 in this thing...the M9 will melt down your phone and eat the battery. Wish there was something in between these two models.
Only the 2GB RAM/16 GB internal memory A9 is available in my country, will it be much slower than the 3GB model?
And will a custom rom or RUU be compatible on both models or each one has its own rom?
2gb is very cool and smooth don't worrie i use the same.

Oui! I just remembered the M8 is also 2GB RAM and was smoother than M9 (though thanks to Leedroid Rom)
Thanks God I have this 64GB SD Turbo, though because I lose 16gb compared to the G4 I just sold, I will have to delete 3 VR for Google Cardboard adult movies (2-3GB each)
BTW anyone tried the A9 with Google Cardboard 2.0?
I use 2Gb ,too. Very smooth like Will972 said.
The A9 is a very tempting deal, especially the US unlocked version(they really are living up to their timely updates promise)!

so...HTC presented new version of desire .. and i'm dissapointed
it looks nice. i love same 3.7" display (not too small, not too big)
BUT!!!
no dual-core??? they better loose second camera and put some processing power in!
so what do you think??
http://en.akihabaranews.com/84688/phones/mwc-2011-htc-desire-s-where-is-my-dual-core-cpu
Here is the link.
To be honest I have got used to the trackpad now and would miss it. Also its nice having the actual button. Not sure if the capacitive buttons are as good.
I think the original desire is the best. It's so reliable and just the right size. If HTC had included 1gb of storage in the first place it would be spot on.
I hope we can port the proposed 2.4 rom over.

Last year they were the best, now they are becoming second Nokia - boring.
I don't know what to buy.. LG Optimus 2x looks nice, but its LG. Motorola Atrix is nice, but bootloader is locked. Samsung Galaxy S2 is stunning, but probably too big for a pocket. Still Galaxy S2 is my favorite, but I have to see it in person.
I have to admit, the new productline is a fail.

Just saw the article on TC. I also thought about a dual-core, would have changed my Desire for that, but now...hmm dont think so, I am ok with the current Desire.
What's the point of having a dual core when the OS doesn't support it? By the time android supports dual core, HTC will release a dual core phone. No doubt about that.

2.4 will support it, besides, 2.3 is a dead end.

better have phone and wait for OS than having OS and no phone thats the point i think
SGS II beats off this phone in every point and it will have Dual-Core and SAMOLED. For me the screen of the SGS II is just too big. Same specs SAMOLED in Desire-package would be perfect for me.
same there's no problem with my original Desire apart from internal memory...
Even the Incredible S isn't as good as the DHD - 1.1GB internal storage vs 1.5GB in the DHD?
I can't see the appeal personally

That's not the right way, since many people wanting a dual core phone now, are early adopters. If the Desire S would have dual core, then you still need to wait until, let's say at least 6 months before they can use it. 6 months is a really loooong time in tech terms. When Android finally officially supports dual core, HTC would relase another nw device with even better specs. So the eary adopters who bought the dual core before anyone else, would want to buy the new device AGAIN, so they wasted a lot of money with the first dual core device without having to benifit from the dual core.

and if you buy DESIRE S now and in 6months they make another DESIRE with dual core, what then?? isn't that same story? you will need to by the new one with dual core and throw away DESIRE S wich will be really useless at that point
i think they just wanted to present something on WMC'11 and with nothing better they pimped out wildfire and named it DESIRE S
shame on you HTC .... i have been a loyal fan and just wanted and hoped for a duel core... weather we need it or not!
if your rivals are making them then you need to!
boooooooo
2010 was about GalaxyS v Desire...
2011 GalaxyS2 v Desire with makeup on!!

And it was never intended to be. So where is problem? Desire S is "just" evolution of original Desire. If you want competitor for Galaxy S II then wait for Desire HD2.

Htc One S-sense 4.0, dual core...nuff said...
Damn that's nice! +1 to HTC...might hold on buying a Sensation now...
But AT&T is getting the far superior One X. This is the final straw for me. Once again, T-Mobile gets the second class device, while another carrier gets the top end device. No more. I'm sick of second class equipment.
Ironically, I recently switched home cable providers for the same reason. Wow Cable had old ancient cable boxes which were laggy and had no features. The service is no better on Comcast, but the equipment is MUCH better. How companies like Wow and T-Mobile stay in business, I have no idea.
Why can't all of the providers get the same phones!!! Then they can evenly compete on service!

Hold on there my friend: Read this:

The At&t One X and T-mobile One S is more a like then you think. The main difference is the One S has a slightly smaller screen and is qHD Super AMOLED vs 720hp super lcd2 for the One X. They both have the next gen S4 which is faster the the 4+1 quad core Tegra 3.

True. But I'm sure most of us would rather have the 4.7 inch 720p screen that the OX has. After playing with my gf's GN often, I don't want anything less than 4.5 inches and 720p display.
Superior or not, I can't wait for this phone to drop.
Plus with the One V having very similar specs to the mytouch 4g this should give us hope of very good ports of ics and sense 4.0!

Yeah, I read that later. It does help because it makes the only appreciable difference the screen. Still though, and like mackster said, I really want the current standard 720p resolution. Not something that came out a year ago! There's always something that keeps T-Mobile a second class carrier.
Yeah, i saw this and i was SOO excited, if the specs are similar, the MT4G will live on foreva!
Edit: Ok guys, i have seen the specs and have compared them...
Here is how the phones stack up: SAME display resolution, ONE V: 512 Ram...MT4G: 768 Ram , Both have single core snapdragon processors. This is definitely a good sign. Our phone is better than the one that has been released (on paper at least) and it should be fairly easy to port the roms given screen resolution. I think HTC just saved our asses. YAY!!!

Yes thats what I saw! This actually better then the whole sense 3.0 and 3.5 situation because of no re-sizing issue! and actually save for the camera we have the better specs! Yes HTC Did make it easier! The mytouch 4g was ahead of its time when it launched!

It may be a slim chance the mt4g may get updated then we can use its cam or kernel, but the dhd or incredible 2 should get the official update and there similar cams to ours.
WAIT! We might be saved thanks to HTC AGAIN! Check this out!

Dragon series! Single Core, 4 inch screen phones all rocking ICS and sense 4.0!! Oh and five Mega pixel cams! Which hopefully means they're the same as the one we have! If so, we might be in luck for a camera fix. Only problem is that these are Chinese only handsets :-\ nonetheless, this brings hope.

I swear the MT4G is the T-Mobile-branded redheaded stepchild with nine lives. If I was still able to use mine, I'd be excited because it's starting to look like the "never say die" successor to the HD2.
Hello,
I want to upgrade my phone to high end android (have been using windows mobile 6.5.3 and android 2.3.7 )
so i have looked over some thing like 20 phones and i could not pick one that will i will be able to like my own child .
The problem is mainly since all the phones have the same price, ie,. the htc desire HD have 4,3" display and 1 ghz cpu while the LG optimus 2x have the same 3.4" display but with dual core cpu and over eBay the price is the same for me, so what to choose HTC or a little cheaper LG ?
And that effects all phone so if you pls can you suggest me some phones and a reason why you have suggested them over other phones.
I prefer bid displays over 4.0" and thin around ~10mm
I am asking since i will buy a phone which will stay with me over several years before i will choose to replace it,
(got stack with Moto Defy with 3 year contract - and its bad .. very bad... )
thank you for any help.
HTC for sure. I believe them to be second best to Samsung phones at this point. All you have to do is look at user reviews.

I would definitely go with a dual core and I would agree that HTC is better than LG. If your going to play any graphic intensive games you definitely need a dual core processor with at least 1G of RAM. A quad core processor is the way to go if your outside the U.S.

i have tried to search for the best option . like the HTC HD2 which developers just can't get enough of it.
but the phone is old, Galaxy s 1 is way too expansive for a 2 years old phone, and the HTC is a general expensive device.
So i could find only the LG Nitro which is a good phone for its $ .. $470 for a 4.5" HD with dual core cpu and 10mm thick, can't find any thing better..
HTC are mostly fat devices and i can't see any reason why but the thin cost as double as $550 .. and onlt 480-800 res. while the LG is
around 1280x720 res.
see my problem?
Besides it all the phones run Android so there is not problem modding it , and the Nitro have Cyanogen 9.0 support so it should be solid for a while.

Have you heard about mi-two? Google for it to find more information. Generally it looks awesome with 4 cores clocked at 1,5GHz, Adreno320 GPU, 4,3" IPS display with ~340dpi (30% more the iPhone4S) and great battery capacity. The only problem is that it might not be easily available outside China. But if I will be able to get one I will do it without thinking much about it.
The Optimus 2x is a 4 inch 800x480 screen, not 4.3
Anyway, due to ****ty support from LG, prices for it have absolutely tanked.. It's now available from $200-300 outright.
The good news? ICS is coming out very soon for it (rumored). Apparently it's in the testing stage.
So might be a very cheap way for you to get a fairly high end dual core for stuff all money.

Xiaomi mi-two $550 preorder now on eBay. it will be cheaper for me to GS III OR HTC ONE X i just don't like these devices - gs iii due to plastic and htc one x due to 16 giga with out micro sd card memory while i use around 40 giga on a phone.
any way i just thought you could suggest me a device and a reason why it is better then LG and so far i see that they are non, i never saw a company which give any support for a phone... so i am not looking for support .
Any way thank you all i have decided to buy the LG device the Nitro - looks great and cheaper then most devices. btw LG is also manufacturing Apple and Samsung mobile parts so i can't see why it should be worth quality.
Buy HTC One X. It is a really cool phone !!!

I was more so just asking for my own curiosity. I didn't mean SIM unlock, I meant bootloader. I got a Galaxy S6 and LG G3 and ended up selling them due to the hideous touchwiz and optimus user interfaces and the inability to unlock the bootloader and install aosp ROMs.
I vowed to never buy from at&t ever again lol. They sell you phones, say you own them, but don't allow you to do as u wish with them while being forced to use up your system memory with useless crapware. That's unacceptable to me.
It always surprises me when people have XDA accounts but don't modify their devices.
I'm interested to hear your comparison between the A9 and S6, as I used to own the S6.

hi
well i have jump the samsung ship my self i will never buy other samsung phone its HTC for life for me
i love my HTC A9 the samsung S6 was OK but you have too wait weeks if not a year for android updates at lest with HTC you get your updates sooner then later now i have the AT&T 32GB model so i have 3GB of ram wish is a pluse now i may not get the same 15 days after nexus for my HTC android updates but at lest i will get them march sooner then any other phone i have ever own i have owned LG Samsung and moto and iphone this is my 1st ever HTC phone
pro i love the new android 6 update and sense 7 on top this makes the phone buttery smooth all most stock android every year HTC gets better and better with there phones
next for a snapdragon 617 its fast and smooth i really dont need a super high end phone has long has the space is right and with it haveing 3GB of ram this phone makes it a high end phone why the 2GB ram of the HTC A9 is more of a mid ranges phone
i love the build quality of the phone but i would get a case for it
next i love haveing a SD card slot some in that the poor samsung S6 removed this last year not cool samsung not cool at all
all in all i love the HTC A9 i love the build quality of the phone and every thing else
now the samsung S6
the samsung S6 was a OK phone but i did not like it when they removed the SD card slot
other thing i did not like about the S6 was the small battery it had
and other thing is you can not put a QHD screen on a smart phone and then put a small battery in it if your going to put a QHD on a screen then you need at lest a 3000 or above battery so that a fail
long wait for android updates and upgrades wish i do not like i dont mind owning AT&T phones but i all so like to have android updates and upgrades on time so thats why i picked HTC A9 has i new HTC has the best android upgades and updates out there follow by nexus
no SD card slot fail
samsung really got the S6 wrong this year
how ever i did like the back glass casing on the phone it made the phone feel nic
all in all samsung sucked this year and i wont be going back too them or any one else i will be staying with HTC for a long long time
Lg g4, s6 and nexus 6p are htc one a9's rival.
I want to ask some questionst to htc one a9 users.
1) why did you choose htc one a9 over lg g4?
2) why did you choose htc one a9 over galaxy s6?
3) why did you choose htc one a9 over nexus 6p
I'm not fan of any company.
I just want to read your comments and your useful experiences.
İnformations in this thread may be helpful for customers.
Short answer, long answer doesnt matter.
I always loved HTC devices and had almost every single one. I currently own a S6 also but here is my reason why I would buy a A9. HTC phones have great build. The A9 has a fingerprint scanner with AMOLED screen and 3GB of ram. Sense OS is super solid. NO LAG. Despite having a somewhat midrange CPU it performs everyday tasks as expected and very smooth. Charges up really fast and does last all day with battery tweaks (greenify). The S6 I would say is the ultimate phone for people that wants the best of everything but you'll be stuck on stock software with no modding and rooting for most US carriers. The A9 can bootloader unlock and have root.

Smaller screen, no lag, love the build quality, htc UI is better than any other, amazing sound output.
Thx for your comment.
Is there a difference between a9 vs s6 on listening music via earpods.
I heard htc one a9 has a special feature about listening music via earpod
I sold my nexus 6p and then bought the A9, there are far more custom roms for the nexus, but I just found it to big for day to day use and I also bent it (never happened to me before) also as mentioned above the sound output on headphones with the HTC blows the nexus away I don't know what the actual hardware difference is but listening to music on the HTC (which I do a lot) is much much better.
I miss the custom roms of the m8 and nexus but other than that really liking this phone....

A huge difference. A9 on earphones is far better than any other device in the market.

That is the best part about it, it's better than the previous htc devices too.
I had the S6 for a month, couldn't stand the glass back and illogical UI.
Then had the G4 for several months, loved the phone, big screen and high res for VR, HTC Car was compatible somehow, but when they begin to die (motherboard fault) and as I had no warranty, I passed to the A9.
The A9 has a faster and smoother UI even though the cpu is not as good as the G4's one, audio perfection of the A9 absolutely destroy the G4, metal body...the only thing I missed is the big screen + 1440p which are perfect for VR.
With the A9 in google cardboard 2.0 you can see the pixels and the limits of the phone, perhaps the cardboard 1.0 is better as smaller
Thx for comments.
Reviewers and editors on internet give very quick decisions.
They just looking specs,compare specs and give a decision.
Generally they arent using phones on long term.
Long term user experiences are very important.
The one thing i would add is its slippery, i've ordered a Dot matrix case but is taking an age to turn up, in the meantime its bare and slippery in the hands... Obviously when the case turns up it'll be sorted....
