Goodbye desire HD

Thought I'd post this seeing as it's going to be my last post in here as tomorrow I have a new HOX on its way. It's been a great ride while I have had my DHD. And it's going to be emotional. But it's time to move on to bigger and better things. It's been nice meeting such a great community and im hoping I'm going to get the same experience over the HOX forums see you guys :'(

gotta agree with you. IMO theres not anything new that can convince me to get a better phone. Unless my DHD is getting out of date cant use new apps anymore.
Same with my laptop its old, slow. but it does what i need from it. Extras are nice but aint important for me.

There is nothing new that would worth upgrading for.... Most of the phones in my country don't have nfc so I don't see any use of it...

+1 mate!

another DHD ditcher eh?

Getting my Att one x upgrade, then selling on CL. Waiting for a real smartphone with a effing sdcard slot. Not going backwards from 32gb sdcard to 9gb internal storage. What a joke.
I will gladly keep my Inspire until then!
Still a great phone!

I think the DHD is still quite decent. I am starting to regret my "upgrade" to the Nokia Lumia 800. Somehow the Lumia battery life is considerably worse that the DHD, even with less usage and not having proper multitasking.

Yup, the DHD does everything and I when I cant do what I need to, I'll think about an upgarde.
I reckon when I get an upgrade HTC One X i'll give it to the Mrs.

100% on you with that. HTC has to come out with something! I can't take all the drama over at the LTE. God those people are annoying and stupid at times

My biggest issue is that I'm an HTC Fanboy. I've had a few devices : Motorola, Samsuck, LG, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony, and even a Sanyo ( don't ask ) . Hated them all after a few days. Some only took an hour for me not to like the device. So it's really difficult for me not to own an HTC Device.

I'm with you on that. HTC made the first device is truly enjoyed owning... At the same time if the moto comes with an unlocked bootloader then I may consider it... The new Motorola devices are pretty nice... mainly the razr line

My last 3 phones have been HTC. A winmo 6 that I don't even remember the model #, a G1, and my shift. If HTC comes out with a full QWERTY slider I may still not be completely sold on it. I've come to the realization that either company's new phones will be powerhouses. My next phone must have a full slider, and give me a first impression of durability! And constructed so that otterbox can design a damned cover that will last more than a month! I'm with my shift until February anyway, so I'm giving both companies the needed time to appease me. Lol.
Is it just me or is Motorola's US site all dicked up?

[Q] SO any HTC One owners here?

Anyone considering changing for the Galaxy S4?
I'm a little tempted but dunno if its worth the trade. Like my One but not overly fused on Sense. Anyone in the same boat as me?

Had 4 faulty HTC Ones, s4 replacement coming in 10 days.

i wasn't a big fan of TouchWiz, but since i started working at Samsung, i've come to love the whole TW experience.. it has a LOT of cool features, which are copied in other custom roms, but that cannot compare to the original apps by Samsung..
i agree that HTC has nice hardware, but i have a S4 now and i wouldn't want any other device, it's simply amazing!

3 faulty ones so getting Samsung s4 next week

I was looking at the htc one but seems like build quality issues and some people just dont like blink feed. As pretty as it is, I think I like the samsung form factor better as well as the options for removable battery/sdcard samsung gives you. And that dual shot feature, oh man I got ideas

Shamesung.

It's messed up.

Very sad but nothing new. Almost all major corporations engage in shifty practices such as this. However, they do not all get caught.

To give a bit of a perspective as to why I am moving from the one to the s4
I am not a HTC hater yes my last couple of phones have been Samsung but I thought of give HTC a go on my next upgrade and boy do I regret it
I don't regret it because it's HTC because in fact before my sammy days I always bought HTC I hate it because HTC sent out a brand new flagship with major issues
My first one had gone button problems and the camera when video recording was awful it had a high pitched hiss on it
My second had proximity sensor problems , the lights on home and back didn't work and worse still the screen wasn't sealed so white could be seen
The third which broke the camels back and made me change to the s4 on launch had once again home / back button problems
The one is a beautiful device but it's full of qa issues
So to Sammy I go again I'm hoping the s4 is perfect and I wish id waited for the s4

HTC is probably a year from getting sold to another company. I loved my One X, but they hosed the deployment by succumbing to AT&T locking the boot loader and then released the One X+ too soon.
They are circling the drain. Their delays on the One will probably kill them this time, that and once again locking the boot loader on the One on AT&T.

4.3 isn't even that big of an update "supposedly". Its not a visual change from what we've seen in the leaks. So I don't know why going from 4.2.2 to 4.3 would be a hassle for HTC to do.

There aren't many changes in 4.3; more minor and back end changes. You'll have some additional support like updating the Bluetooth stack (AVRCP 1.3 finally) and some notification changes as well.

With that said, the HTC bunch on the XDA forums on flagship phones seem to be a crowd that whines and complains quite a bit. It was the same way when I owned my HOX.
Be happy with what you have. At least you have the funds to either spend 650 USD on a phone or have enough money to pay for a cellphone contract. I live in a poor area and I can see what true poverty is. I'm quite happy with the device at large. Reading the butt-hurt pains of the people on this forum is the best form of stand-up comedy in Southeast Asia.
Keep me laughing.

4.3 will be a quick update for Sense and GPE as theres not much change, KLP or whatever comes out this fall however is a different story..

Is HTC so bad with the updates. It's my first HTC phone .being a flagship it deserves a major update of klp.hopefully klp comes much before the next year flagship otherwise jellybean will be the last dessert of the ONE
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Could you point me to the page in the warranty that states we're entitled to x number of Sense updates?
Thought so.
It has nothing to do with getting the most out of the device (as does anyone); your analogy holds no water because these are phones not assaults (sensationalism); my thought was more along the lines of HTC customers being very vocal in how much they despise the upgrade process / support...but still buy HTC anyway.
If you're on XDA you knew what you were getting into anyway....so just complain about things you can control, not things you can't.

4.3 + Sence??

Yes but when HTC launched it they promised to support it for at least 18 months, so I bought with that promise in mind...

You would think manufacturers would be better with updates. I suppose that its an issue that only bothers very few users though. Would be interesting to see if a manufacturer would gain market share simply by providing very fast updates.

People seem to forget that the One S was marketed as the mid-range phone between the One V and the One X. If you buy a mid-range phone and expect more than one major update (in this case, it was ICS to JB), then you're out of your mind. If you want more than one major update, buy the flagship, not the mid-range.

Was the turnaround quick enough?

With 4.3 out now was the wait to long compared to nexus devices? I for one am completely satisfied that it didn't take to long.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

There was literally a week's turn around. How can anyone be unhappy with that? Fingers crossed that they keep it up. Any indication on if the update came from HTC or Google?

People are unhappy with the turn around on sense based roms. We haven't gotten one of those yet.
Porting aosp with some modifications to a device is relatively easy, especially if it's the manufacturer of the device.

I was very shocked when it dropped on Friday. My wife's Nexus 7 didn't get it until last night.

I was so happy and surprised I decided to convert mine over to GPE rather than wait for sense version updates.

This was the fastest update I have ever received!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

yea can't be mad with a 1 week turn around time on AOSP. I wonder what other changes they will do in the sense 4.3 update other than the 4.3 changes.

This is easily the most positive press HTC has EVER received regarding an update. Google/Samsung/HTC did a great job. Let's hope they keep it up.

I'm not making excuses for them... But it is way easier to update the vanilla android experience than it is to do the same for sense. They have to build and test sense on top of these updates. They still haven't updated all the unbranded unlocked devices or developer editions running sense.
Add carrier testing on top of that...
