After S4 unveal I think if Samsung hasn’t won the battle it put HTC on check. HTC has to give much more features to Sense and boost its performance. They have also to improve android updates. They have failed to satisfy its customers by taking so long to release android updades. I have the HTC One X and this will be my last HTC.

I do like the way HTC email works better than email on the S3

I love my SAMSUNG it is hard to let go of it..Samsung does need more promotion for its phones. I never see them on billboards or even on adds in buses or trains. I like the droid love the Nexus 4 looking to up grade to that with 16 gb : )

Probably would have stuck with Android if HTC had made a Nexus. I tried the Rezound as my last effort with Android and it failed me.

Honestly, I will never buy an HTC again for these reasons:

1. Abysmal battery life
2. Poor build quality (don’t confuse this with the build material. HTC likes to pretend they have good build quality by using metal, but HTC devices tend to break or malfunction often. Don’t be fooled, build quality and build material are different)
3. Bloated and ugly Sense
4. Nonexistent or extremely slow updates

Hey HTC. If I wanted a phone that looks like an iPhone, I would’ve bought an iPhone. If I wanted metro, I would’ve bought a Windows phone. If I wanted Flipboard installed on my phone, I would’ve done it. Thanks for nothing. No wonder nobody likes your products.

I thought storage and battery might be an issue, but moving to the cloud, I don’t think I’ve had less than 5.5GB free space. HSIC wakelock issues are the cause of decent, but not great battery life on the stock unit. With a custom kernel including the HSIC fixes, it cuts the deep sleep battery use to about 1%/hr. I routinely get 5+hrs screen time and 24+hrs total on a combination of wifi and 4G.
I realize that’s not a realistic solution for some/most people, but it does at least show that battery life can actually be pretty outstanding once HTC patches up the kernel. Hopefully..

Mines currently doing an excellent job as my alarm clock/mp3 player as well. Amazing how long the battery will last with no data..

If HTC plans to advertise as much as Samsung, why have I not seen one HTC One ad? I know many of us droid-life users and android enthusiasts know about the HTC One but many basic consumers do not.

I sent the HTC PR the following email labeled A Dissatisfied Long time Customer: HTC, you have been one of the best manufacturers as far as the mobile market is concerned, and I wish to thank you for amazing and innovating devices such as the Ozone, Touchpro, Touchpro 2, Eris, Incredible, and the Rezound. Unfortunately the major disappointment I have is your lack of timely software updates that your competitors have nailed perfectly, as well as your lack of understanding what loyal customers want or need in an environment where limited storage in your current and future devices is just that, very limited in an age where storage is becoming increasingly important, and having a lack of expandable storage, is a major flaw. The next thing I wish to address is not having the ability replace or expand batterie life on the go or when i need to do so due to circumstances, and I may as well buy the iPhone if I wanted to keep myself limited. Unfortunately a lot of other customers share this concern. As a result once I aquire the funds I will be leaving HTC behind and I am taking the time to give you some feedback as I hope you improve your methods going forward as I always liked your devices until recently as it shows you have a lot to learn before being able to survive this industry. I hope things get better going forward as I cannot move forward with you, thank you.

I know, I was just messing with you….and the rest that keep arguing about the Nexus S….(actually the “S” inverted is a “2″)…..Not to mention that Samsung had started using the “S” for their Android devices…The Galaxy S was announced in March 210 and the Nexus S was released in Dec 2010..
