Is this board going to be wiped when the N4 comes out?

Apart from the usefull threads, can the mods wipe this and QnA board completely, it's painfully how much people are moaning about problems. I don't think I've seen a phone been complained about so much

This happens on every launch, should've seen galaxy nexus' launch with people whining about old SoC, crappy camera, pentile display and what not. Don't think they'll wipe the board as they haven't ever done that yet.

Wont really make a difference lol, the noobs would just flood the forum again anyway

i'd just want to delete "a vs b" threads - instead of being objective, they're just filled with blatant and pissy fanboyism.
The other threads will eventually die out but those always stay up on the front page. fanboy fight to the death

Most posters will wait till they actually have the phone to start posting. Once they do, these garbage opinion threads will naturally start drifting to the bottom. It's more under control than it appears. Give it a couple weeks after launch and we will be fine in here.

Yep, just normal transition...

What really bothers me is the low price of this device.
Different type of idiots will buy this phone and decide to root it just out of curiosity.
Then they will bombard "Development Forum" with unbelievably ignorant posts. Developers leave because of this. It happened in Galaxy Note forum and I'm sure it happens with every single forum nowadays.

I'd also vote to remove the "Should I get this phone?" threads.

I think it happens to all phones now days. Keep on mind that millions of devices are activated everyday so its becoming increasingly harder for XDA to enforce all the rules (like search before you post etc etc) and everyone is a volunteer, so you know ? Times are changing I guess we better get used too LOL
But god knows I agree with you,even tho I only signed up like 2 years ago I remember coming here way before that just to read, everyone here was so knowledgeable, and far ahead of my skill level, it just made me refrain from posting and look stupid ! Now ??? 60% of the things I read here are stupid answers to stupid questions that have been answered numerous times before

My first device was the HD2, the forum there was nice and helpful, ROMS where actually good and everything, Getting WP7 activated and messing around with ICS
Moved to the SGS1, pretty much same thing, a lot of new stuff was coming along at my end of the device (Gamerzrom ect)
Moved to SGS2, started off well, then everyday was a new ROM that was basically stock with 'speed mods' and 'improvements made all around' and an ugly skin
Im hoping the N4 will have a somewhat good developer base and not idiots making a themed ROM everyday.
Anyway, this is going to be a painful 6 days till I can order it ):. I will see you lot then

So i just traded my One for a Galaxy S4.....What an absolute mistake that was!

traded out of interest really, i didnt dislike the htc one, i just like changing my phones... a lot... lol, always wanted to try an S4 and what a mistake that was....
1. The screen while nice indoors, put it anywhere near sunlight and forget it
2. Touchwiz lag and bloat, the amount of crap and novelty software on there is crazy
3. The plastic back really does feel cheap after owning a One
4. Just doesnt seem as smooth or responsive as the One at all, even with the GPe rom
5. For me the battery was nowhere near as good as my One`s, when i put the one as a GPe that battery was excellent
6. The external speaker.... this had never been an issue or me before as i didnt care, but after having "Boomsound" the difference is mahooooosive
the only positive for me was the camera, the One camera really is unpredictable, good shots 1 min and poor fuzzy the next where as the 13mp shooter on the S4 provided great crisp shots all the time, thats the only thing i wish htc had done,
I`ve just been left really underwhelmed by the S4, and im now selling it on eBay after 2 days of usage to return to the One
Just thought id throw this out there for people considering trading

Oh look, another Galaxy S4 VS HTC One thread. This is a new, exciting, and refreshing topic. Also it's against the forum rules.

Finally Jumped The Gun....

Finally switched my galaxy note 2 to an HTC One and I'm already chuffed that I did, although the Galaxy Note 2 has its positives I just thought that it felt too cheap and the screen size was starting to annoy me, so I swapped it today for a HTC One and I'm loving it! Perfect for my little fingers and feels like quality! I'm happy to join the forums

Moving to Htc one from S3

Hello
I'm thinking of moving to htc one coming from an s3. I need your input regarding this, I'm tired of Samsung lags and plastic feeling of the phone. .they are all the same plastic....s3 s4 note 3..all plastic.. doesn't have the premium feel it is suppose to..
Anyone that come from an s2 or s3 or s4 to Htc one can give me his input regarding how sense5.0 is, how does the phone works, the screen, the battery its not removable (I don't like this deal)
Please give me some advises. ..you dont have multi windows on htc one, right?
Any help or advice is appreciated
Thnaks

Mate to be honest, i have couple of friends that moved from S4 to ONE, just by looking at me and my ONE... It is the best phone at the time, and you have always a AOSP build that will have (soon i hope) the split window capability.. The rest is flawless

In my opinion, the HTC One is the hottest piece of mobile hardware in the world right now. It just won the mobile award of the year. The developer support for the One is tremendous. The XDA devs love it. That's more than enough to make any sensible person turn from any other device. I mean, like seriously, most of the XDA devs use it as their daily driver and/or primary development device. Just have a look at the main portal and you'll see that most articles feature the One.
However, the best answer is to figure it out yourself. Just go to youtube and watch some reviews. Search "htc one vs s3" and "htc one vs s4" and "htc one vs anything". Watch these reviews from a couple of different uploaders, so you'll get a broader point of view.

Hi,
We don't allow device comparison/suggestion threads as there are plenty of threads for such discussions in the General forums.

Aadiós OnePlus One people

So long people,
I've upgrade myself to a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, my gf had a Lenovo A7000 phone and was in need for a new phone, I was happy with OnePlus One(running CarbonROM - android 8.1) but opportunity occur so I'll get an upgrade and she'll get a WAY better phone, so I moved on after 4 years(3 years and 350 days to be accurate ) of great service.
You won't see me a lot after this message unless someone replies or I'm super bored . I rarely would play with roms as I don't want to mess my gf's phone from now on
P.S. To the people thinking of upgrading well, stock Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S while having SD845 feels snappier but only in specific situations ...of course after custom roms I expect this to change. Unless you look for some extra things like back camera which is a lot better especially with low lighting, battery life which is better, not day/night but better. You can still have your OnePlus One, no need to replace unless you are a heavy gamer or want better pictures or a more futureproof device(I did it to help gf and have a futureproof device as OnePlus One probably won't get Android P or any future android as it's x64 only rom AFAIK ...although some might find a work-around, who knows)

i will also retire my OPO soon. currently i'm leaning towards the xiaomi mi a2.

you are wrong, nexus 6 is 32 bit phone and It got android pie
