Develop Bugs

[Q] Which one phone to get?

Well, right now I have the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G.... My wife and I went into a T-Mobile store today and they informed us of a new plan they had that would save us about $100 a month. So, me, being the person I am, asks if the new plan will mess up my upgrade for my phone.... And lucky me.... Instead of waiting another 8 months for an upgrade, the new plan will actually allow me to upgrade then
So, long story not so short...
I am debating between the Samsung Galaxy S2, OR the HTC Amaze.... I was just curious as to why, if you already own the S2, you would or would not suggest it to someone? Thanks for any input in advance!

SGS2 hands down, best phone out for T-Mobile right now.

You are obbviously going to get a biased answer posting it here.

I expected biased answers... That is why I posted the same thing on the Amaze forum... What I am looking for is a more in depth on WHY people love their phone's so much... And what are the big things for them to keep them.

From a development standpoint, our SGSII has more support, kernels, roms and themes than the Amaze. Also CM has been confirmed for our phone as Cyanogen said it himself. I'm not exactly sure for the amaze as I don't visit their forums often. Imo, SII is the way to go if you like a variety of roms to choose from.

HTC has horrible quality control, their battery life on the amaze is ****, it's ugly, bleeding key lights, it's ugly, it's a sensation in a new case overclocked to 1.5.
The galaxy s2 is beautiful and the screen is awesome. It does have the vertical lines, but I think those can be fixed with a software tweak. The battery is crazy good and the phone has no bleeding key lights. Also the amaze is ugly, did I mention the amaze is ugly?

Well, I am known to jump ROMs every now and again... I was just happy to see they have already rooted the Amaze... I have already noticed that developmentally, the SII has a very strong backing whereas the Amaze lacks.
I see in your sig you had the mytouch... What is the pros/cons from the mytouch to SII?

I so far have loved every single HTC device I have ever owned.... (Ok, I take that back... The HTC Shadow sucked balls... Damn Windows phones) I also don't think the Amaze is that bad of a looking phone... What vertical lines are you talking about... I had read about the screen bleed on the Amaze, but I haven't read anything about vertical lines

I went SGII for divx support. I guess it's not really a big deal though to most but to me it was.
I think the SGII will have a longer life than the Amaze because of developer support.
Plus I had heard that battery life on the amaze is pretty horrible. I wanted to make it through a day of work.

Vertical lines, blob, circles, pixelation on screen on some phones
I've had the sensation that's the same thing as the amaze but looks better and the galaxy s2 is way better.
All this thread will do as well as the one in the amaze forum, is create a fan boy type flaming. You'll see.

Just being stock you've heard it was bad? Is that for heavy using, or just normal day to day stuff...? And when you say DIVX support... Do you just mean the video format, or what exactly do you mean?

So it's pretty much just the random things that can happen with any phone if you just happen to get the bad apple? And I really don't mean for it to become that, if it does, I apologize to the community... I should just change it to, tell me what you love about your phone, and what you think a con is, if it has any... And leave out the story behind it

sgs2 all the way!! just read both forums and u will see

LOL
way to convince yourself to get a SGS2, posting in this forum you'll know the answer will be biased
You pretty much already know you want the SGS2, but you want to reaffirm the believe by finding out if there's any issues you should know about.
if you check the sticked INDEX you'll find out most of the issues
hope that helps!

You should definitely get the gs2. I came from the sensation and this is a way better phone. I know the amaze has the bump up in ram and the better camera (compared to the sensation) but I guarantee this phone will blow it out of the water. The sensation I had had no problems besides overheating so I was skeptical about the gs2 being that much better but it is. I also like the build quality of the gs2 which I didn't think I would. Oh another thing is sense is such a memory hog and the novelty of it was cool for the first week but after that I wanted aosp bad. So yea I think you should just go with the gs2 you won't regret it. And the vertical lines aren't really an issue its there but not noticeable in everyday use. I can really say that besides the vertical lines this phone has been perfect.

I had the amaze, I brought it back on the 13th day of my remorse period and got the sgs2. Best thing I've ever done! Hands down a better phone. Actually, best device I've ever had, and I come from a long line of HTC devices, but I am now a fan of Samsung, and even touch wiz if you can believe it. I'd recommend the
sgs2 all day....

MKV
I can plug in my one gig hard drive full of 720p mkv movies and play them with out a problem what so evar! My tegra2 transformer cant do that, nor can my playstation, or my 360. Not sure about the amaze. One thing I am sure of between the two we will be getting ICS well ahead. With no crappy overlay, not that I dont like sense, just no point of it. With ICS all widgets are scrollable.

Coming from a sensation,.the sgs2 is a great improvement. The amaze to me is an ugly phone. The amaze also seemed extremely heavy. I could see chipping the elevated glass on the phone, and after going through several sensations, same as the amaze, with different problems well enough said. I'm extremely happy with the sgs2.

You have to know what you want in a phone to make your decision. Both phones has its pros and cons.
Galaxy S II Pros vs Amaze 4g:
Longer battery life, larger screen, louder speaker, does not/barely overheats, 2 megapixel front facing camera, better video playback/audio, no death grip issue with signal (both wifi and data), lighter materials with a premium feel means you can hold the phone in your hand for long periods of time without strain.
Galaxy S II Cons vs Amaze 4g:
Screen resolution isn't as great as the Amaze, the design looks much more rich on the Amaze, the Amaze has a slightly better camera especially in low lighting, the Galaxy S II does not have hardware camera and camcorder buttons like on the Amaze, No LED notification.

Sound Quality Sucks
Now this was in a recent course which was 2 weeks of use. Had one briefly during launch and traded it because of the demand. Saw development picking up so I got one back and gave it a longer try/go.
The Galaxy Nexus is awesome don't get me wrong its just that it seems like they put more into the interface looking pretty than basic elements running smoothly. It has cool features which will definitely be a upgrade to people that haven't tried it but some of your favorite apps may not work and if your someone that likes to use your device day in and day out be prepared to bring a charger with you. The only 3 things that amazed me about the phone was the face unlock,the screen resolution and the softkey mods. Battery life was lacking and those three features weren't enough to make me want to keep this device. Tried everything from rom, radio, baseband combos and it just didn't make it better. Some other people may disagree. I don't buy phones to have them sit on a desk so showing me screenshots with 75% display(meaning standby/lack of use) won't convince me otherwise.
Now when it comes to the T989 I feel like it's a overall better device. Even though we are on GB we will have a ICS rom soon whether if it's OTA or Leaked. Better battery life with rom and kernel combos that actually show improvement, great storage for pack rats, and development from both sides of the fence. Not to mention we have a new addition to the Devs I feel like the Sgs2/T989 is a strong enough device to hold me or anyone over till the Sgs3, but I'm sure I will try out the Blaze as well.
2 Galaxy Nexus owned/traded and I don't feel like I'm missing out by coming back to the Sgs2. In my eyes they both have strengths and weaknesses but it's far from a slaughter.

I feel like the Skyrocket is a better device too, it's the reason why I haven't grabbed the GNexus.
And with the CPU/GPU thing, the S3 just about destroys the OMAP4460.
Adreno 220 is much faster then the SGX540, and even though the OMAP has the same tech as the Exynos, it just doesn't seem nearly as fast, and the Snapdragon feels much quicker.
Also, on the GNexus, could you still see pixels because of the PenTile display? On my friends GNexus, I have no problem noticing the pixels, but I can't see them on my Skyrocket.

Hmm, guess it's just my eyesight then, or it's his screen, because I could EASILY see pixels without a problem.
And I agree, I watched a movie on it, looked ****ing AMAZING.

I'm glad to have another perspective on this. All I can say is glad to have another fan back.
Message relayed from the dark side.

Good decision, the gs2 battery life is no joke. And especially now that TDJ has his hands on a device, expect greater things to come. Eugene, not sure how great he is, but other people can vouch for him, so i can't wait! But RK and TDJ is an amazing combo, they finished strong at the mt4g dev section. Made it imho the best single core device.

If you think your battery life is good, ask us Skyrocket's and T-Mo SGS II users.
Thanks to the GSM/LTE combo in the Skyrocket, I use battery at the same rate as they do, so there's no battery drain.
I do 12-14 hours on a charge with heavy usage (I mean, constant texting, web browsing, gaming, listening to music).

I use my phone constantly. On the Nexus I was getting 4-5 hrs. I don't see how that is acceptable. In time I'm sure a kernel will give it more juice. The phone has only been on the market for 2 months.

Hmm.. while i agree with some, most of them i don't, and the unlocking fee is not applicable in the equation
firstable what do you mean by Graining/Blobbing?
Voodoo is not applicable to our device
ICS is guaranteed so the GB part is only partially applicable until we get 4.0
the Plastic Feel is subjective to each person feel, to me the T989 is one of the better quality Samsung has ever build to date
the Galaxy Nexus actually feels more plasticky, i like our back cover more than the one that came with the i9250

I included the unlocking fee because i buy my phones for full price and i have to have them unlocked which most of the time it cost me money since none of the unlocker apps work and tmobile wont give them to me. I travel alot and being as though the nexus comes factory unlocked i figured i would list it as a con on the sgs2 side and a pro on the GN for myself.
The Graining/Blobbing is from a thread i read which most people have been experiencing which runs more in the category of lines running vertical in some screens. I experienced some but its not a big issue. That was in comparison to the 720p screen of the GN which i found no screen issues viewed from any angles.
I know Voodoo isnt functional with our device but i saw several people mention it and i was one of the people that miss it. Just from back in the Vibrant days. I think it is or was more effective than Volume+.
ICS is coming we all know that, but trying out ICS and than coming back to GB to me is a downgrade. Not just based on the OS #, but because ICS has more cooked in, and it will be great once we have it officially on the Sgs2. It was listed as a con for me because we have to wait on it for some time. May not be a biggie to other people.
The feel of the GN felt more nice is the hand to me with or without a case. The sgs2 in the color black feels nice in the hand maybe more so because of the door material , but the white model feels more cheap. I have a white on the way as im selling my black because I like the full look of the white but i know i have to add a white body glove to it to get a better feel of it.

very interesting regarding the white vs black model of the T989 i didn't know the back cover was different on the white
i was under the impression it was just the color.
re: unlocking fee, well in that case i do agree if you compare it as the total Cost of the phone, but that being said, the i9250 is still more expensive even with that included into the total of a T989
i'm indifferent about the Graining/Blobbing as it happens on both devices, actually all new AMOLED devices seems to be suffering from the same thing from what i've read across devices (Nokia, G Note, G Nexus, T989, i727, the new HD version of skyrocket, etc)
it'a factory production thing... not much we can do
that being said, i don't see the problem when using it normally, it only shows up when you have brightness all the way to Zero, otherwise is not noticeable
any brightness setting of 20% of more will just make it go away

Ive read that as well, but i only noticed it so much on the devices i had.
The door on the black t989 is more so like a carbon feel sort of with more grip, and the white t989 is more glossy/slippery.
Also thanks for editing my OP. I was mobile at the moment of post.

i usually get the best phones available.. glad i have the s2.. the camera/sd card on the nexus is a deal breaker..
ive been using the same sd card for years and i wouldnt want it any other way.. its the easiest way to move ur music/pics/info quickly to a new phone.

I wonder why all these GN vs GS2 threads are here? No need to justify your purchases. We all like and want different things. I can appreciate a new POV, but in essence its all the same. I can find thousands of people who can say the GNs pros outway the cons. To all their own I say.
Sorry, if it feels like I am targeting you, it's just these threads just seem like people trying to convince themselves more than anyone else that their phone is better than the GN...which is very subjective.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I seen the gn and hated it its so ugly the missing buttons r ugly too

Well this thread is more reasonable than the others because at least he listed a whole list of pros and cons. While the other ops are like "gs2 ftw" or something along those lines. He's not necessarily bashing either phones. he's listing some things that will help others decide if the cons outweigh the pros for either phone. Like if you're a battery user, immediately you would want to stick with the gs2.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I agree with your points.
I just traded my white gs2 for a galaxy nexus and I plugged it into my computer and couldn't even transfer files to the sd card -.-. After installing drivers I can do it through MTP but I feel like out of the box internal sd card support was one of the major advantages of having an android device.
I might be interested in trading back for a gs2 but.... the screen is just... AMAZING on the nexus. I can't notice any pixels like someone else stated earlier but the screen quality is great. I had a sensation and was complaining about the ppi when I moved to the gs2. It would be hard to readjust to the galaxy s 2 if I do decide to go back to it.
Another point is the camera quality on the galaxy s 2... it completely blows away the nexus. I don't think the nexus is horrendous but for a 700 dollar phone you would think they could make some improvements. I also think that a better camera app would help, the native camera app in ICS isn't that much of an improvement from AOSP gingerbread.
The last and final point that would make it difficult for me to move back to the gs2 would be the operating system. Ice cream sandwich took a bit to get used to but after playing with it, its definitely a more fluid experience than the galaxy s2. Even if the gs2 gets the update.... I find it hard to believe that the update would be as anywhere as stable as the nexus. There are major bugs in the CM7 build from a couple months ago.... I just wonder how long would it take to get a stable ICS one. Also I would assume that the ics update for the t989 would come with touchwiz. Touchwiz sort of kills the beauty of ICS for me, I tried it out on the i9100 and it wasn't very impressive--it didn't add many pros over the gingerbread build.
I think its a toss up... if camera/internal hardware/specs is important def go with the t989
If updates/support/screen quality is important then go with the nexus.

I'm back with the nexus but i want a att note now that it can get tmobile 4G.

Honest Opinion Guys

Sold my nexus s not too long ago.
After that i have owned a G2X, HTC Sensation, and an HTC amaze.
Once u go amoled, using LCD is painful.
So my question is, would you pick the tmobile galaxy s 2 over the one s?
i am leaning toward the s2(white, screen size, samsung, removable battery/sd), but what about the phone annoys you?, and what can you tell me about the phone that i wont know until i use the phone?
thanks

The one s uses amoled as well.... Except it's a qHD super amoled. I would still go with gs2 because of expandable memory and removable battery. Tmobile is getting the gnote soon as well.. Tough decisions my friend
The main issue in the phone is the screen issues I.e. dark blob spots and screen burns pretty easily you can really only notice the blobs when the screen blacks out and the backlight is on, other than that the phone is friggin bad ass. The only reason I would get the one s would strictly befor the camera. It's prolly thebest camera that's out for any smart phone. Amazing is one word I could describe it. Especially since it records 1080 p video with 60 Fps and ours does 30 Fps

the problem with the g2x, sensation and amaze is that they started using cheap LCD screens that sucked when viewing from angles. The previous phones with LCD wasn't bad though.
Anyways if i was you, I would wait for the prices to drop just a bit more if you decide to go with the gs2. The one S,X should gain popularity soon and the s3 is nearing.

At least if the one X comes out on tmobile it wont be a blocked boot loader like the at&t HtC one X. Which I think is ridiculous. If the one s had at least super amoled hd and sd card slot. I would of jump shipped.

Yeah I'd probably jump ship to the one s but the no external memory is a deal breaker for me

No i would say htc phones have the most support on t-mobile. Look at the sensation, Htc G2 even mytouch 4g. Since hardware doesn't change much. Samsung phones on the other hand less support due to different hardware. So as long as you stick to an htc phone you will be fine on t-mobile.

OK, but does the support compensate for better experiences than Samsung roms developed by people?

At least if the one X comes out on tmobile it wont be a blocked boot loader like the at&t HtC one X. Which I think is ridiculous. If the one s had at least super amoled hd and sd card slot. I would of jump shipped.

wait what? you do realize that htc devices usually gain a swarm of developers right

gs2 is my favorite phone so far after having t-mobile mda, touch pro 2, galaxy intercept, and htc hd7. one of my job responsibilities is hooking up phones to the exchange server so i get to play with lots of phones from different companies/manufacturers. the only thing i've seen that i'd currently take over my gs2 is the galaxy note but good luck with t-mobile getting that anytime soon.

If you care about removable storage and battery no contest S2, or wait for the S3 sometime in June if Samsung sticks to their word. If you want a better resolution screen and faster phone with a tiny bit smaller form factor go with the One S.
Only thing that annoyed me with the S2 hardware wise was the lower resolution screen and the blobs and streaks (edit: and that damn chrome around the phone, scratches before you even hold the phone) aside from that great phone and is now getting some great dev support. HTC One S just released so it may take a bit for support to come, but there is already a working AOKP ROM for it so I'm sure it won't be much longer til support kicks off for it. Either way you're getting a great device

Sold my nexus s not too long ago.
After that i have owned a G2X, HTC Sensation, and an HTC amaze.
Once u go amoled, using LCD is painful.
So my question is, would you pick the tmobile galaxy s 2 over the one s?
i am leaning toward the s2(white, screen size, samsung, removable battery/sd), but what about the phone annoys you?, and what can you tell me about the phone that i wont know until i use the phone?
thanks

I never really thought about it but this made me think...what about the S II do I not like? I couldn't think of one thing! Its just awesome! My wife has the G2X...its been warranty replaced 4 times in a year. Twice touch screen stopped working, the other 2 beacause of the overheating issues. With the last update they just released for it nothing's really gotten better. Her battery still only lasts at the most 4 hours with moderate use.
I guess this wasn't really your question I just had to vent. Galaxy S II in my opnion is the way to go.

The main issue in the phone is the screen issues I.e. dark blob spots and screen burns pretty easily you can really only notice the blobs when the screen blacks out and the backlight is on, other than that the phone is friggin bad ass.

Hi guys, I was thinking about to get this version of GS-II (t989), but i´ve heard so many bad things from the owners that I don´t know what to do anymore... So if anyone could help me on this, answearing these couple of questions, I´d very thankfull.
1) Is this screen issue that big deal?? does it happens only with T989 version or the others GSII were affected also?? Is there anything I could do test the screen before buying one (like putting a fully black, gray, white pics on display...)?
2) How is the audio quality on it? Are you guys satisfied?
3) About the camera, that is something I REALLY care on smartphone, I´ve heard it´s a bit different (some people would describe it a bit "worse") from the international GSII- 9100, due its Exynos chipset. However, judging by the samples i´ve seen, the only difference i could notice is that the colors tend to be yellowish on t989 -as the opposite, bluish from 9100. But how about the rest, focusing, details... are they exactly the same??
Thank you guys!!
PS: I´m coming from an Xperia Neo, and I don´t like its camera that much and the audio quality as well.

Just ordered the Sprint version, already second guessing it

I dont know if I made the right decision...should I have went with the Epic 4g Touch instead? Or waited for the Evo 4g LTE? I hate making big purchases like this, I always get buyer's remorse

You made good choice I am on Verizon so I can't tell you about Sprint's service but 4G should improve a lot for sprint.
I like having it rooted and getting all the updates my friend who has stock is still on 4.0.2 on Verizon he is with me on family plan though hopefully at least sprint does better job =]

What are you regretting? You have a phone that is almost top of the line (Dual instead of Quad core, really not that big of a deal). That will be getting the latest Android releases weeks (Or days) after release compared to months or years. Finally, a phone that will have dev support for it's entire life compared to phones that will only be relevant for maybe a year.

Why do you have buyers remorse about? Is there something you dont like about the phone before you have received it? The GN is a great phone that most love. If you like custom firmware you cant have a better phone or group of devs than this device.

I have a dont reason, I just always second guess myself when I buy a phone. Im coming from an OG Evo and I did the same thing with it but ended up loving it. Ive read so many good things about the epic 4G Touch, I almost went with it but went with the Nexus because its newer...just hoping I made the right decision. Cant wait to get my hands on it and get it rooted.

This phone out performs the touch. And the evo has broken multitasking. This is a great phone. You really can't go wrong with this phone... seriously.

Why would you choose the SGS2 over the GNex? You're being paranoid.

Thanks, you guys are definitely helping and easing my mind

I personally think you made the right choice, remember you have a week with the phone to decide if you like it or if you dont. I bet you will.

I was also second guessing this or the Evo but here are some reasons I took the gnex over the Evo.
1. NO F'ING removable battery. This is a must if I have to endure using it for at least two years. Batteries degrade and it would be useless a year in.
2. LCD not an amoled. I don't like LCD they don't produce colors like our phone and blacks as well. Regardless of everyone saying its good... they must be blind.
3. Sense 4.0 no explanation needed... sense is retarded.
4. Google support. Although limited (cdma) this phone will still receive faster updates.
5. Rootabliltiy. It was soo easy to root and your not limited. For HTC the only way to unlock is to void warranty and even then... you have to worry about hboot versions. No thanks. You may void warranty by unlocking this phone but you can always relock it nor use an exploit to root without unlocking.
All in all this phone is the obvious choice.

hi
How's the radio and signal strength compare to nexus s 4g?
I'm tired of having almost no bars most of the time.

I went from Sprint and the Epic 4G Touch to Verizon and the Galaxy Nexus. I do not regret either move.
Was the E4GT a good phone. Sure was. Is the Galaxy Nexus a better phone. Sure is. There is nothing to regret about the GNEX and I would not buy a phone today on Sprint that is not LTE.
I am sure Sprint will one day change their data plans and go to tiered data when people switch to LTE phones. If you get in now with unlimited LTE, you should at least be safe until you complete your contract. Then at that point they will either allow you to grandfather it because you already have an LTE device or they can pull what Verizon will be pulling.....
Also, why buy a phone with Wimax when Sprint no longer building it out. What you see is what you get. Nothing improving on that end.
Only other phone I would even look at for comparison is the SGS3. Then it comes down to Pure ICS or Touchwiz. Either way, you will still end up with a great phone.
One thing I can say with owning a GNEX is I don't feel the need to purchase every new phone announced which is a big thing compared to every other phone I have owned. There is something about owning a Nexus device that makes you not care what other phones have.....Really cannot explain it but you need to own one to understand.
Only thing I wished was the GNEX had the camera from the SGS2. Then this thing would be perfect but, in this world nothing is perfect so you need to settle to the closest thing!

You won't regret it. I switched from the Sprint E4GT to the VZW GNex and haven't regretted either move at all. Like eman3316 said, I have not wanted to rush out and buy every new phone on the market since owning the GNex, which is something I can't say for any other device I've owned including the Nexus S. I always wanted the next better phone to come out, but I no longer spend unnecessary money on unnecessary phones.

I don't understand people on this thread at all. Yes I definitely love my Nexus but I'd much rather have the EvoLTE. I'll give you some reasons why you shouldn't have gotten the Nexus and maybe you can rethink.
1. AMOLED screen. Amazing right? Eh...not anymore. I've had two replacements, the first of which had awful banding and a purple tint at low brightness. Also, the image of the status bar and keyboard were permanently burnt into the screen. While the screen is sharp, it definitely can't best the new Evo due to its full RBG matrix. The colors are uneven and look "dirty" at low brightness. A post on the first page said that color reproduction was better?? Nope, more saturated but not better. AMOLED used to be touted as power efficient but with this huge screen it is the opposite. These reasons are why the EvoLTE wins the screen comparison.
2. Camera...not much to say here. The camera on this thing absolutely blows. My girlfriends OG Evo takes better shots. I think the camera on the 4S still has a slight advantage over any other Android handset but the EvoLTE is right up there and could probably be improved with new software releases.
3. While the CPU/GPU combo isn't by any means slow, the S4 is faster by a mile and is more power efficient. It handles the 720p resolution like a champ. Whenever I go back to stock 4.0.2 my Gnex definitely has hiccups and lags compared to my current setup.
4. Due to CDMA licensing, Samsung has crappy software for CDMA radios. Everyone talks about how a new software update or radio will help but it never does. Its no use, Samsung just has crappy radio support. If you like dropped connections and fluctuating signal then the Gnex is for you.
Now I seem to hate the Gnex huh? Not really. I'm just simply stating the truth and that I believe the new Evo is a better investment. If the Gnex was $99 that would be a different story. Quick software updates can be nice but I'm on Verizon so I don't know what that's like.

I switched from the Evo 3D to the VZW GNex...at first I wasn't sure if I really wanted to switch from Sprint...but once I got onto the LTE network...those doubts QUICKLY went away. I thought about getting the Sprint GNex...but the loss of 4G for an extended period of time didn't sit well with me, especially since Sprint's 3G network practically sucks.
I can see that being the only drawback of getting it on Sprint.

1. This amoled... needs tweaking... when the rgb and gama are tweaked in ROMS it is perfect... i have perfected it anyways... i do agree this amoled is off. But that LCD is crap... i dont like blacklit things... my LCD tv has two giant burn ins so it doesnt just happen to amoleds.
2.This camera is f'ing amazing.. your f'ing blind... go check out the post pictures from your gnex thread... your jaw will drop. The og evo... no just no...
3. UM what? Duh what do you expect... this phone is not built for preformance it is meant for openess... having a closed architecture processor such as the S4 is pointless just wait... it will be 6 months before that thing sees the light of day of the next android version. Where it will be sitting on our front door when it comes out.
4. I dont agree... this is all on location... if you live in a place that is known for crappy service then yes it will drop more than other phones. If you live in a place with "normal" signal then you have nothing to worry about.
The gnex is the better phone all around... the HTC is for the fanboys of HTC not us.

I definitely understand what you coming from the evo LTE is a good looking device but sense kills it for me plus having own evos in the past besides group they take like 8 months to release the new updat and ain't detailing with that anymore plus stock ICS is the best OS yet for android and jellybean will be game changer and unless you wanted 6-8 months later go for the evo the camera in this phone is just right I take pics only for sharing on Facebook to my family and there good enough sure is not the best but look at the pluses on this phone

it has a smaller battery than the GS3 but it has a bigger 1080p screen so yeah good luck with the battery

Hahaha! Yea I was thinking it has a higher resolution but yet the battery is weaker than that of the GS3. So either you carry a charger with you all day or have a set of battery extension because its going to drain fast during usage.
Now I wouldn't think about trading my Note 2 for the DNA one bit because both phones pretty much have the same specs. The Note 2 at 720p is already rich in screen resolution. You'll have to stare at it from about half an inch away from the screen to notice the pixels. I'm pretty sure you'll see less pixels on the DNA while staring at the screen from the same distance, but who'll want to do that?. With the Note 2 you can also record videos and take pictures at the same time like the how the HTC always advertise on their phones. Nothing new about that. Now the only down side I see on the DNA is no stylus (many people who hates holding a pencil, let alone writing their name would not care for it at all), no expansion slot (I cannot rely on cloud storage as an alternative), the battery is weak and non-removable (so unlike the Note 2 it is not meant for heavy usage), and finally it's from Verizon (the carrier whom loves to brand the **** out of their phones).
But I don't like to tell people what to get. If any phone they find that suits them, then great and good luck with their new devices. We all win. :good:
EDIT: Forgot to mention that with LTE the DNA will suffer even more on its battery.

The only thing arguably better would be the display / resolution. Other than that, Note 2 owns all the way. At this point in time, I don't really care much for 1080p. For my next phone in about a year or two, thats a different story.

a less than 16gb for screen 1080p phone, pass...

I checked out the Note2 again tonight this time only for about 15 min when I stopped by Best Buy & immediately felt like this is such a real huge upgrade from my EVO 4G that I must have it soon. Then I started noticing the whites weren't as white as my EVO & it could be brighter (set to max) & even experienced some lag but I did not have time to do a reboot.
I am curious to see the DDNA, 1080p natural color screen with amazing cameras like the OneX & improved speaker etc but obviously annoyed with battery & sdcard situtation (not a huge fan of all the red styling either but would slap a case on it) yet I will have to check it out. I think the OneX variants are the best "smartphone" display & camera & at 5" DDNA should be impressive (always thought 5" is a great size but the N2 managed its 5.55" amazingly as well & the stylus puts it in its own class).
So do the non-white whites & brightness of the screen around sunlight on the N2 ever bother anyone?

I will admit that the 440ppi and handling of colors is a huge notch against the n2.. the droid however is it a dealbreaker for me...No...does it hurt people who are truly craving that 1080p display and higher color reproduction...it might...Htc decisions to do certain designs and moves on there devices seem to be pushing people away already from what it seems...as well as the fact the series of their devices theyve released is starting to flow the "Apple way"..thats just coming from me though
