I switched as well. Loved the HTC, thought it would hold me over past my normal 4 months. I was wrong, lol. Was and is a great phone. The g2 is better in my opinion. But comes with tradeoffs depending on your likes. Boom sound, miss them, but adjusted quickly, and believe it or not, I actually liked and miss blink feed. But taptu is a cool news app that you can incorporate all news you like. Phones are almost same size but yet. 5 difference in screen size. Screen is phenomenal on this phone, battery, forget it, I get average 25 hrs with 4 hrs plus screen time and plenty of calling, 2 push emails, loads of texts. Hard to kill battery. So basically, I was weary as well, made the change, and am very satisfied with this device.
And another one who switched from the ONE. Only regretting it a little bitregarding to HTC's update Speed but overal I'm happy with the G2.
The package what the G2 offers is pretty good and you can't go wrong as long you don't mind waiting a little bit longer for Updates

This is xda! Who's waiting for updates? Lol
G2=best phone on the market ATM. But I guess it all depends on what makes a phone best to you. G2 has got everything going for it besides the actual feel. I hate this slippery *****.

After 5 warranty returns (purple camera), at&t offered to exchange my One for another device. I chose the G2. I've been using it for the last day now, and am really contemplating on keeping it. It comes with a great amount of useful software features (notification while charging! Tap screen to wake..and more.) Obviously the audio is not as good, but I don't spend a lot of time watching movies or anything on my phone, so I can get over that!
Battery life seems to be incredible thus far.
I am also pretty happy with the camera as well. The colors look sharp. I think people look a little washed out or cartoonist on the screen in indoor lighting , but the stock app does some processing afterwards correct it. I'd like to post some camera shots to compare since I still have my One. It is Thanksgiving tho, so perhaps tomorrow ?
One negative I will bring up is the auto brightness. I don't know if others have this since I'm new to this device, but auto brightness doesn't seem to work very well, so I downloaded Lux from play store and it works great. So it must be LG 's logic

Auto brightness on stock blows. Very slow and wonky. Lux app removed the problem for me. Even on my last 3 lg devices, the auto brightnes was slow and sucked. Expected it.
Here's a couple comparison pics between the G2 and One. First pic is from G2.
Edit.. apparently you can't add more than one pic using the app.. please stand by while I work out the technical difficulties ?

ok here are G2 vs HTC One photos I just took outside (G2 photo is the first photo) No special settings on either app, just opened camera app and point and shoot..
I prefer the G2 pics. You?
I've had this phone for just over 2 weeks and it's utter garbage. Everything runs so slow, there is always a delay when opening messages and other apps. I've had 2 random reboots. I'm coming from a HTC one that is what 2 years old and that baby was sweet as a nut butter smooth. Are there any new updates coming out to make this phone run faster
So get rid of it. Everyone else seem to be pretty positive, including me.

Try the J firmware.
If you can you should return it, if you can't, root and reduce the DPI 560 seems sweet. Also use a different launcher and keyboard. That will remove most of the lag, but not all.
The phone is not rubbish, LGs software and "configuration" on the other hand is a bit over aggressive:
- thermal throttling kicks in too early in my opinion (play a game for a few minutes and frames start dropping like crazy due to the processor being capped). the phone isn't that hot either - considering my N5 reaches temperatures where it feels a lot warmer than this and seems to not cap the speed that aggressively;
- there is a lot of useless software from LG running (updates, smart stay, quiet hours, bla bla bla) which eats up memory, processor usage, etc.
- be careful if you have an sd card in it (I had an old card in it and everything was twice as sluggish);
- avoid power management / battery monitoring tools (using GSAM battery monitor in my experience seemed to keep the phone awake more then it should resulting in earlier thermal throttling).
Ways to improve performance:
- keep the software that you need active (give up unnecessary widgets, services, syncs). keep only to the ones you need;
- try the phone without a sd card;
- try to keep it as cool as possible so it runs cool and doesn't throttle performance;
- (advanced) root ... and get rid of useless junk ...
- (advanced / risky) disable throttling and other safety features ...
I've changed keyboard
I'm loving it. Phone of the year. The m8's got a crappy camera and too much bezel, the s5... Well, it's the s5. Sony, yeah Sony, great contestant. Doesn't have the style, the flare tho. No nanny Fine finesse.
Different strokes for different folks, eh.

The phone is indeed rubbish:
- crappy laggy LG software. No match to Google's Android.
- bleak washed out colors of LG IPS screen
- over sharpening
- crappy over sensitive Knock wake up
There's a solution to your issue and that's get rid of your phone. XDA developers has partnered up with http://swappa.com/ where you can sell and buy phones. No-one appreciates your counter productive thread and no-one wants to hear you complain.

I've had the M8, Nexus 5, Note 2, Galaxy S4...
I only miss the Nexus 5 a bit, for the ROMS of course. This G3 is awesome, Rooted + xposed, patiently waiting for the Devs to crack open the bootloader, or bypass.
Rubbish? Na, Great phone, could be better?, yes, not perfect, but not rubbish @ all.

I have checked this phone in two different stores in retail mode. Both phones presented a weird slowness when coming back from an app to the home screen. Not always but sometimes. It took 2-3 seconds to load the home screen and icons. It was very weird from an otherwise snappy phone. Have any of you experienced this?

I second this. Hardware is top notch including the display. All the bells and whistles included.
Can you buy from somewhere you can return if not happy.
Slow has never been associated with the Mate 9. Software design is their main issue nowadays. They change/remove things without any real reason. Getting better with every version.
Lag, Stutter, freezing. Definitely NOT an issue with this phone. Best phone out. Buy it.

I would go for the one plus 3t software updates are gonna be a pain on this mate 9 already regret the purchase. Software always over hardware.
possible demo mode?
i agree software is going to be a pain, but this phone is amazing out of the box.
a little tweaking and youd never have to worry about updates...just the dev of this phone is going to be really slow until huawei release binaries...

Yeah but who likes sticking to an old version of android? Sorry new updates = security patches and overall a better experience with new features. I could not see myself recommending this phone to anyone on xda, maybe other people who do not care about updates and development.

I've came from Nexus 6p, OP3T knowing there wouldn't be much development as those phones had. But I would say this phones software isn't that bad, or as heavy as Samesung or LG. Ive rooted and returned back to stock which I am using now on the US version. It's an amazing phone as is and the camera blows out the OP3T and screen size is a must. I hate little phones (personal preference I know) so yeah the Nexus and OP do have the development communities but for the price and how well the phone is made and the smoothness of which the processor handles the work load it is definitely a great phone.

It was probably running an early build. My Mate 9 has had 3 updates since I got it. No lag whatsoever.
Same here, no lag in any situation. Buttery smooth. Though I got rid of the stock launcher as soon as possible.
I get it sometimes. Coming out of an app and the screen will be blank for a couple of seconds (just the wallpaper) then the apps appear
Lag is normal on my 156 fw. No double tap to wake up. And other things. But one is fine battery.
No issues here. Smoothest phone I have ever had.

Hi Guys, I've just bought a 6T....12 Hrs ago.
I love it, it gave me a real Wow switching it on.
There's just 3 things niggling me.
1. One speaker? Really? One Speaker?
2. The Clock and Weather Widgets, I can't get them lined up on the screen, also the trademark Red digit is not incorporated into the clock widget and both the weather and clock widgets show the date....!!! So side by side they not only don't align they repeat the same data and don't match.
3. Can't hide apps....would be nice to hide a load of stock apps I will never use.
Apart from those 3 gripes, the phone is amazing.
I absolutely love it and am very, very glad to be part of the OnePlus community.

Let me tell you what I've learned since I have gotten mine. I'm not sure about the clock and weather widget. But at far as the single speaker, this phone doesn't need 2. This summer l speaker is loud. And you can hide apps by creating a Locker. I'm not sure yet how to do that but you can Google that, that's where I read about it.

Thanks...yeah I hear you about the speaker but when you are watching a movie all the audio is in on one side....I mean come on it's mono and that went out in the 1960's!!!!
My first oneplus aswell ?. Another tip in hiding apps is that you can store them in the hidden section of your stock launcher. You can do that by swiping up to get to your apps and if you gently Swype from the left corner to the right it brings up the hidden section. One the speaker in with you most times than not I tend to cover it by accident while watching YouTube etc

I can have a dark theme on an amoled screen which looks awesome. I think it's brilliant. I've got the international version because I'm UK. I might well root but now I can hide the apps it would only be to sort out the speaker...but that's in the future....I'm more than happy for the time being now knowing I can hide the bloatware.

Don't use the clock widget, search through your widgets for one called "OnePlus widget"
I completely agree with the OP regarding the feeling when using this phone. I had been a long time htc fan but after TMobile stopped carrying it, I was lost because the os experience was severely lacking from the other manufacturers. I'm on jump on demand and I tried fiddling around with lg and Samsung for a little bit but just want satisfied. Finally made the switch to iPhone and was happy for 2 years with apple, however after apple pulled the stunt of increasing prices for subpar upgrade to the iPhone this year, left a bad taste in my mouth and when I saw TMobile will carry the one plus, I decided to jump and give it a shot. It's been a long time since I had the feeling of having the perfect phone and this is coming from someone who tends to change phones every 3 to 4 months due to the freedom provided by JOD. I will be keeping this until the next upgrade from one plus comes out. Plus I got lucky as one of the reps sim unlocked my phone even though I met none of their criteria for unlock in the spirit of Thanksgiving holiday! So a pleasant bonus and now currently waiting for bootloader unlock code for root. The only reason I want to root is due to completely and utterly blocking ads from everything including apps. That is one thing I miss from apple. A lot less ads on the device compared to Android, however that should be resolved soon. This stock os is perfect otherwise! Amazing battery life, extremely fast charging, and buttery smooth! What else can one ask for!

Yep, that's the weather widget it's great and has the red digit.
But there is no clock with the red digit.
There is however a setting for the red digit clock for the lockscreen...so somewhere in the phone is a red digit clock widget!!!

Hi everyone,
I've been away from XDA for a while, my last android was the LG G6, then I switched to the iPhone X. After seeing the Galaxy S10+ in person I had to order it, so I'm officialy joining the Galaxy gang! it's such an awesome upgrade (love the o infinity display), my phone is arriving in 2-3 weeks, just wanted to check with you guys to see what I have missed out on the Android scene, any really useful apps, recommndations, general tips? Can't wait to be able to play around with my phone again.

That's awesome! we're on a similar journey. How have you been finding the camera on the S10+ ? The wide angle looks like it will have many good uses.
The camera is fine, for my use better than the iPhone X but not as crisp as the Pixel 3XL. I find that shooting in Pro Mode results in better photos. I save some basic presets and it's basically point-and-shoot.
Welcome back! Glad you came to your senses ??

Switched from iPhone X to s10+ for about 2 weeks now and I don't regret a single option/feature frankly :laugh:
Welcome to the bRight side of life. I myself moved from two Chinese iPhone-wannabes to have my very first Samsung. I must say, it really was a special move. [emoji57]

You will love it! So much freedom and flexibility. I loved using iMessage on Macbook Pro, until it died and I didn't want to pay APPLE TAX to get a new one. Web messaging is awesome if you spend your day on the computer. Ability to expand storage via microSD is a huge plus.
As for Samsung S10+, I have AT&T version, so much bloatware. I ended up buying Package Disabler Pro to disable some stuff (use at your own risk). SoftKey Edge is kind of useful, at least for me. I also use UAG case. Used them for years, never disappointed.
I would check out the bixby routines which are really powerful. You can automate certain phone functions (gps/data/wifi/media volume/apps autostarting) depending on different triggers.
Also, check out BxActions which can remap the bixby button to 3 different apps/shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions&hl=nl
Other apps I like:
- Adguard (paid) which blocks ALL ads in apps and in the browser
- AccuBattery
- Join (to move files, clipboard contents, urls from pc to phone(s)/tablets)

It can also disable wifi/gps/data if you keep your phone next to your bed
- Nova Launcher (free/paid) -> extremely configurable

Ahah yes! I think I'll be here to stay, iPhones just aren't cutting edge as they used to be, Androids are where it's at!

Congrats on the switch! How are you finding your S10+ so far? Can't wait to get my hands on mine!

Welcome to the club! Looks like quite a few people are making similar switches, I wonder why? (S10+ is a beast)

Welcome to the bRight side of life. I myself moved from two Chinese iPhone-wannabes to have my very first Samsung. I must say, it really was a special move. [emoji57]

You will love it! So much freedom and flexibility. I loved using iMessage on Macbook Pro, until it died and I didn't want to pay APPLE TAX to get a new one. Web messaging is awesome if you spend your day on the computer. Ability to expand storage via microSD is a huge plus.
As for Samsung S10+, I have AT&T version, so much bloatware. I ended up buying Package Disabler Pro to disable some stuff (use at your own risk). SoftKey Edge is kind of useful, at least for me. I also use UAG case. Used them for years, never disappointed.

Can't wait to get it! I'm really excited, I'll be sure to checkout the web messaging, is that like PushBullet? Thanks for the tips

I would check out the bixby routines which are really powerful. You can automate certain phone functions (gps/data/wifi/media volume/apps autostarting) depending on different triggers.
Also, check out BxActions which can remap the bixby button to 3 different apps/shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions&hl=nl
Other apps I like:
- Adguard (paid) which blocks ALL ads in apps and in the browser
- AccuBattery
- Join (to move files, clipboard contents, urls from pc to phone(s)/tablets)

The camera is fine, for my use better than the iPhone X but not as crisp as the Pixel 3XL. I find that shooting in Pro Mode results in better photos. I save some basic presets and it's basically point-and-shoot.

Care to share tips on presets? I've never really had a pro mode in a camera before so all new to me.
