Long story short, I got curious about the note 4 and traded in my M8 for it. It's only been 24 hrs and all I call say is that it's not a HTC. I'm really hoping that it grows on me.

Is it too late to get your M8 back?
Yeah its too late

I have had my Note 4 for about a week now, came from the M8. I truly love the M8, but I find the only thing I really miss is the front facing speakers. One of the main reasons I switched was for the Samsung VR. I have no regrets. I still have the M8, I want to see Lollipop on it before I sell it.
One thing I miss about the M8 is how it did it was fast. I don't know if if it's how touch wiz is designed to work, but it is kinda slow. Opening an app takes noticeably more time than the HTC. we'll see what happens, I can do another early upgrade in 4 or 5 months

Wow, why in the world would you do that??? You definitely got robbed for.. Why didn't you review the device at at T-mobile first?? Jesus Christ!!! Why would you betray us bro!! What the F!!! We have a bigger development section.. You literally just gave the finger to all devs and left us to rot thinking you would have the win with the latest device... But you didn't!!

Ok so I have Epic 4G Touch. I can upgrade to the S4 right now or should I wait for something better maybe S5. My S2 is still rocking and rolling many many many thanks to all the Developers here.

Wait. Everything points to s5 being something different. S4 kinda like s3 in design. Plus see what new phone google comes out with.

I think I'll wait for the S4 Mini. The screen is just a bit too large for me.

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).
I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait
For what I'm waiting special at this time. I wish my contract could upgrade now. S4 and HTC one both phones are best why not to enjoy with this phone on time . instead of waiting unknown phone and date release come on falks wake up

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

If it last you another year, your upgrade is ready and you get a new phone. But who knows. Go with what you feel comfortable with.

I have the galaxy note 2 right now and was thinking about getting the note 3 until I saw the side by side front panel comparisons. I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

I've also heard the exact opposite. Point is what we perceive as "lag" has changed.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...
I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use

Hi everyone, I have the g2 right now. I need to know if the 4.3 Roms last at least a day. I tried the one for a week and I liked it but I ended up going with a g2. What does the HTC one offer that the g2 does not? Also, I am willing to make a phone for phone trade if anyone is interested.

I was choosing between the two phones also and went with the One because of the differences between the other G2s and the VZW. I fiugred thered be no cases around for the VZW one.
Im so happy I went with the one. Im able to pull off 6hr screen on time regularly.
How do you guys get that much battery?? The battery is good but I just set things up normally with no battery saving control at all and get max 4 hours screen on and about 13-15 hours total which is pretty good imo.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
I sent you a pm about trading an HTC one for your G2. Let me know if your still interested.
First post, so bear with me...but I think the biggest difference between the two is the build quality and form factor. I was all for getting the G2 because those specs are unreal and it has good dev support, but that shiny back turns me off and it's a tad too big for me. The One has great roms, very good specs, and the form factor is still the best one on the market right now in my opinion.
I love my one but I wish it had the bigger screen.
Do you still have the G2?
Think the g2 is big. You should check out the one max
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using xda app-developers app
I had the g2 for a day. Then switched back to the One. Speakers did it for me. Once i got used to the one's speakers, i couldn't handle the g2 speakers.
If you don't care for that feature, the g2 is a great phone. Also, to me the One feels like a higher quality phone when holding it. The g2 is well made im sure, but the one is a higher quality build imho. Just my 2cents.

This forum is empty...I received my phone yesterday and so far I love it!
So umm..... let's take a guess of how long after 6.0 marshmallow gets released on the nexus devices that AT&T releases it to the flagship phones.
I'm thinking Samsung will release it to the carriers by the end of the holiday season or early January for the Note 5 and the GS6E+, the GS6 and the GS6 Edge will get it sometime in December, Note 4/Note 4 Edge/GS5 by Valentine's Day, then add a month on to those areas for AT&T to put their foot in it so I'd say the Note 5 and GS6E+ will get Marshmallow by mid February.

Ok guys, so far there have been some ROM improvements but no real aosp roms for our variant. I knew I should have went gsm instead. So I'm going to drop by tmobile tomorrow and see what they can do about putting me into a LG G4. I wish Bliss would release something for our variant.
I tried the g4 and traded it in after 7 days. It was not the same caliber phone as the s6. The one i had was plagued with the unresponsive touch screen. There is a topic about it here on xda among the g4 catagories. Just a warning or heads up from my experience. Good luck.
