It is time to replace my phone, the battery doesn't hold power anymore and it randomly shuts off. I'm considering buying another phone but I'm indecisive as to which one. I'm interested in the HTC One S myself but I'm sure there are better ones out there. Which one would you guys recommend?
Carrier?
Are you planning on sticking with HTC?
Details, man.
The OP is so vague, so imma offer this suggestion, as it is what I suggest to everyone that asks about smartphone suggestions. I like to watch them suffer: http://www.apple.com/iphone/
HTC One is dropping in march. Might as well wait for that.
Sent from my HTC mytouch 4g using xda premium
if you would like to stay with HTC, i'd say go with the new One coming soon.
if you're looking for other options...
i personally would highly suggest either the Galaxy S III or the Note II (considering how big you want your device to be), and being that the Galaxy S IV will be announced soon, i guarantee that the S III's price will drop, making it much cheaper than it is now. the Galaxy S III is a great phone, and just because the S IV is right around the corner, doesn't mean the S III is not a good device. it's specs may not be the best on the market today (stupid U.S carriers and dual core 1.5GHz CPUs...oh well made it up with 2 GB RAM i guess...), it definitely meets and exceeds the average user's needs and wants. i love my S III, and i use the heck out of it.
TL;DR: GET THE S III BECAUSE IT ROCKS!!!
P.S: might wanna wait until a Nexus 4 user comes along and posts his opinions on that device as well though and then choose, as these two devices are the hottest of the market today.
but if you can wait, then wait.
Get a Nexus 4.

Lol, boring? Have you even seen the development section over there?
I'm sorry the nexus doesn't have cheesy features like sliding the side of my hand over the screen to take a screenshot? Or were you talking about the unnaturally vibrant and over saturated colors with the screen? Or maybe you like the the overall colorfulness of the TW OS? You like rainbows?

Holding the power button down for ten second resets the device. It works every time on every Nexus 4. My battery lasts all day, everyday. And I don't need extra space and don't use the cloud. I currently have 7 GB of free space.
It fits my needs perfectly.

Rainbows are nice. What's your beef with them?
No, I don't like the colorfulness of tw, I don't like tw as much as I don't like stock android. But it has more eye candy and features, so I would go for tw if I had no other choice.
But if I did have a choice, like I'm going to have in a week or so when the HTC One drops, I'm HTC all the way.
Put the nexus 4 and HTC One and see which catches more people's attention. Also when I said boring, I never referred to the development of the device as boring. Every one knows development of nexus line up is always on top. I'm talking more about the physical look and UI.

'bout $300 to $350 I'm getting my college financial aid money at the end of the month which is a measly $500
I'm really not too fond of touch wiz (thanks to the behold 2) and the colors in the galaxy look rather odd. I usually put a custom rom anyways, I really like MIUI
I still have my mt4g but, I noticed most all developed custom Roms were in a sense, mirroring the awesomeness of the n4. Its so smooth , ui is awesome and battery life is amazing without rooting and throwing a custom ROM on it.

I will be as soon as I know a release date for Nexus Prime. For tmobile that is.
...On a side note, I don't care about your speculations as to whether it is or is not coming out for tmobile. I DON'T CARE. We will find out later that is all anyone can say.
I sure hope it does, looks cool. I've read a couple of reviews on it. So best of luck.

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

I can see what you mean but this phone is better than the og evo and it has tons of options as well...I'm with iSaint. The gnex has google support and has pretty decent hardware specs. Besides its omap ... more openess and all newer versions of android are being built on this platform. But the evo has a faster cpu which is said to be faster or as fast as the quadcores. I'm still choosing the gnex and will love every minute of it until next year when I get another early upgrade .
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
really wish there was a version of the gnex with a hw keyboard.. then i'd be gladly forking over my money.. as it is, unless my epic dies unexpectedly, there won't be any motivation to switch phones just yet..
On a side note, I didn't know i was up for a renewal until i looked at the gnex pre-order, apparently I am.. good to know..
I know... I'm going to miss my hw keyboard SEVERLY but... that juicy 4.65 hd display should be sufficient for me =]. Ill get the s4 when that gets rumoured .

I think anyone who doesn't wait for the dust to settle and see what the Galaxy S III will be like may be having blue balls and gambling with their upgrade ;-) I'm sure the Evo LTE will be a fine phone but think about how awesome the GSIII LTE (aka Epic LTE?) could be, and Sprint's version might just have a keyboard too, and be as slim as the newest Droid.
I'm gonna wait until LTE gets deployed in my area, I believe it's slated for the fall so WiMax will do for me until then.

Sent from my SPH-D700
You have until 5/22 to activate with the $50 Google wallet credit, I will definitely wait until 5/3 to see what GSIII will bring to the table.
Well I guess I have until September before my contract is up anyway, but if I were looking to upgrade now I would at least see what Samsung will bring to the next-gen party.
Well apparently my upgrade line was an air card so I will be getting it in a month still I don't care if new stuff comes out a nexus for 2 years sounds amazing
Sent from my SPH-D700
Just got my text message from Sprint this morning regarding this .... I have 1 line already eligible for upgrade , but I'm holding out 'til later this year when "better" phones should be released ( mythical beast with KB / Epic LTE ? )
I'd rather have the gnex and be the first to taste Jelly Bean before anyone else gets updated. Not to mention having a solid development community, as Nexus devices usually do. If I'm to wait for a device I'd be waiting on the next Nexus, forget everything else. Don't care what has the best hardware. I care what's got good enough hardware for me, works, has good software and gauranteed updates, and a good dev community.

Galaxy S3. Not even a doubt. The LTE sort of looks bland and boring. All thats cool is the sense clock. Big deal.. we have the sense 3.0 on our evos already.. The lte you would be bored of its UI and style after i say 1 month? the Galaxy S3 youls be happy with until your next upgrade. No doubt about that.
I'm leaning towards the sgs3 also. Samsung phones ALWAYS have the most continuous development next to nexus phones

After owning the LTE and reading posts about people that have owned GSII's I am staying with the LTE. I used to stash batteries around, but I have yet to come accross a battery issue and if I do I have a battery back up charger. The LCD 2 screen on LTE is surprisingly better than the Super AMOLED screens also. Sprint has a history of getting more updates out to the HTC phones when compared to the Samsung phones and I think the LTE will have more custom ROMs than the GSIII.

Come join me in a new galaxy <3. Pre-ordered mine the day it went up, first thing in the morning.
I'd say the Galaxy over the LTE; slightly bigger battery, the HD super amoled screens are gorgeous, and the removable battery is a major plus in my book. And like noob said [and proven fact], samsung phone have received great dev love; I mean the epic [which evo fans were known to bash] had ICS before us. A great investment.

Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone

I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.
Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

I went with the HTC one s I've only used it for a day and so far my impressions. Beats audio sound is excellent, cameras is quick and beautiful, quadrant scores of about 5200, speakerphone is loud, battery is pretty darn good. But software... Definitely needs a custom rom. Lol why bother with the question you ask? I pretty much chose the one s because spec wise it is superior to the nexus BUT software wise the nexus will have the latest and greatest from Google....

Beats audio sound is excellent, cameras is quick and beautiful, quadrant scores of about 5200, speakerphone is loud, battery is pretty darn good. But software... Definitely needs a custom rom. Lol why bother with the question you ask? I pretty much chose the one s because spec wise it is superior to the nexus BUT software wise the nexus will have the latest and greatest from Google.... What would you have done?
Keep in mind I could still exchange it....

If you have the money, ditch the contract man, it'll save you SO much money within 6 months, expecially if you buy the Nexus.
As for preference, i would have to go with the one s. I actually like sense so thats part of it (its freaking beautiful) but i like the size of it better. I don't need this massive brick of a phone lol. They are pretty much the same once your root them.
I'd do the one s.
The galaxy nexus from a carrier m. I wouldn't trust it for speedy updates

Ok good so the general feedback is the one s was the right choice.
I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but just like the sgs3 I'm sure it won't be no $99 lol
Lol I've always been against contracts, but nowadays the price of phones has skyrocketed lol I was actually thinking about the sgs3 until I saw the price tag.....on contract lol
No worries tonight at work my only mission is to root this bad boy. Lol
I won't lie I miss the trackball and menu key from our mytouch though.
Thanks for the opinions people.

Well either way. I'd say you didnt make a bad choice because if you end up liking the nexus, you can always sell the one s to help you out.

i'm sure Google is going to sell their new nexus devices at a fair price on Google Play like they did with the Galaxy Nexus.
Really?! Never heard of that....Something tells me it won't be available in Canada.
