Why make such posts I wonder... You should make em or in the android section itself or google the specs and compare. You know the answer you'll be getting here already

Never buy HTC Android
Reasons.
1. You would be giving Apple money
2. HTC sucks
3. They want to get rid of custom roms by shutting down websites
4. They never listen to consumers.
5. Did I say HTC sucks yet?

I go with m7 if you don't mind the lack of a MicroSD slot.

Well personally if you like custom roms HTC is a bit of a pain. Havn't had a Samsung since the first galaxy.
The question is a little moot at the moment since we don't know what to fully expect from the s4 or m7 yet but the xperia z and zl look the be very nice phones.

for hacking/modding,sony and htc(i personally like htc,sense >timescape or whatever) are best.just avoid samsung

Thread closed. Please use this thread for all comparisons now as we don't want repeat threads cluttering up the forum.

Desire C

So today i read some articles about the new Desire C ( dutch articles most of you wouldn't understand them but google is your friend )
So basicly this is some sort of Wildfire type phone. Low specs. And guess what. It is rocking ICS.
I don't understand why HTC is bringing out this low spec phones with ICS and not updating the Desire Z with ICS.
Yes it is probably because of sense 3.6 being to heavy for our phone.
But as i recal there once was a HTC Desire who was not supposed to get a Gingerbread update and it still got it because the users were not satisfied with HTC behaviour on this.
So basicly my point is. We need to let them hear our voice on this and go ahead and sign those petitions that were started weeks ago if you did not do this then.
Many thanks!

I know that and I did not state that it is not. You were probably confused with my 3.6 statement. HTC is not updating older phones with sense 4.0 but with 3.6 and that is why we won't get the update. It is simply to much for this phone. But we could get a slimmed to version of 3.6.

Its because they are money hungry and they want you to buy new phone.If they stay pushing out updates to older phones they won't encourage you to buy new phones=smaller profit for them

First, horrible thread title.
Second, dont look at this like "**** HTC; They release (another) ****ty phone and it has ICS!". No...Look at this as a low specd phone with ICS; Opening a SLIGHT REMOTE AND SMALL oportunity that our HTC Desire Z might get a ICS update. Facts are in: HTC Desire HD will (at some point in 90000000000 years) get ICS which has a lot in common internally with our phone, the Desire Z is the last QWERTY phone from HTC, and a way lower specs phone (except in internal space) has ICS before us. They may surprise us.

And because this is probably the last QWERTY phone from HTC they SHOULD update this phone. I am not going to buy a new phone without a h/w keyboard ( don't throw in the motorola argument in here they don't sell them in my country ). If htc is stopping with the QWERTY phones at least keep your latest up to date for a decent amount of time...

Why do people say they "should"? They shouldnt do ****. Back in the WAY old days, phones were never updated. These updates are free and they do it because they want to. They arent forced to do anything.
And you people obviously do not run a business or know how it runs. Here is a hint: PROFIT. Why would I, a phone maker, update my old models when I can simply release a Desire Z 2 (for example purposes) with the only difference is that it has ICS and sell it for 400 and lower the Desire Z 1 at 200? Thats called smart business because everyone wants the new model and if they cant afford it, they can go for the old one.
NO COMPANY IS FORCES OR SHOULD PUT OUT UPDATES. They release updates because they want to.
IMHO, i find it unfair that DHD users are getting their ICS upgrade while we are, well, most probably not even though both the DHD and DZ are launched concurrently.

A little detail i have to fix in your post... HTC never said anything about releasing a new phone with a hardware keyboard, they should update their latest because there will be no more newer version (unless the One Z is real... Which is not)...
———————————————
i didn't mean to flame you, nor to mock you in any kind of way
probably HTC did hte math and decided that neither a new Z phone or updating the old one was worth it...
We can keep asking .. you'll never know!
But You'll have to agree with the fact that is all just about money...
The whole argument with "phones did not get updated in the past" is kind of stupid. Phones are not what they used to be. It is not just a phone anymore it is a pocket computer.
Also they also did it with the desire so if we try hard enough maybe we can get official ICS.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Probably we won't be seeing a successor to the Desire Z. And that is just sad. But I used my friends' note and typing on it wasn't that bad. The general trend is moving away from h/w keyboards.
I doubt there will be an ICS version for our Desire Z ever. Cause where is the attraction of buying a new one WITH ICS?
I´m running my two DesireZ with Andromadus beta ICS for a while now and I have the feeling of having a new mobile in my hands. So I gave up the thought buying a new one That's exactly what they do not want..
Mike
I don't care much for ics as gingerbread has all the features I need, and unless there is a flawless ics rom why bother. I won't get a new phone (if my g2 breaks ill buy a used g2 from ebay) fact is that many g2/dz may not get another htc phone when theirs goes bad for many of us want a hardware keyboard. So why not move on to something else especially if they get a discount with a new contract. Untill we see a comprable yet updated phone from htc with a hardware keyboard they will probably loose more money than if they just released ics for our phones in the meantime while the g3 is being built. In the sense that we will keep these untill the g3 comes out. The g1 was the absolute best phone untill the g2, if there isn't a g3 then another company will certainly make the best phone and even the die hard htc fans (me included) will change our minds.
Just my take...

Its coz..
1. Sometimes there are android terms that they are not familiar with,for example, flashtool,root etc.
I once had the dificullity to understand what each term means,but i took the time to ask google. Its just weird why people dont even aak google about the terms although the net is right in front of them.
2. People just dont want to read. They just think that they are the first person that owns the phone, so they just went asking around wanting a fast an direct answer coz duh..."i'm the only one using this phone,so i'm the first one asking question..". For goodness sake, i always check the sticky thread first if i want to mess with my phone..its the basic rule.

Open source, community and freedom to do whatever I want to my device I paid good money for
My main reasons

multiple choice of device and customization
i didn't choose android. I choose SONY and he choose Android =)
For me... It's because this is the one and only linux fork & decent OS available on the market right now. Given a chance that there would emerge a much more decent linux mobile OS(like linaro). Then I would probably jump to that instantly. But for the time being I don't see anything other than the abandoned maemo, meego & webOS.
Yep there's no devices that uses limo or linaro as of this moment.
It came installed on the Sony Ericsson X10, the Arc and will be installed on the next Sony Phone I buy.
I chose android cos of how open it is not really about rooting and stuff at first. although now that I've gotten a new phone (my old phone htc chacha wasn't really supported when I had it ) it's really amazing! and i think a lot of people did that as well, that's probably why there's so many questions, i guess. and people are lazyyyyyy xD
Emulators, Flash, Develop and a powerful customization.
Envidao desde mi Lt18i con xMooDeD ICS
For me, it was a choice of Sony vs other brands rather than why android. Either way I didn't want iOS or a blackberry, and the xperia arc caught my attention over all the other android phones (and the price point at the time).
The xda life for me came two months after my phones purchase when I saw the xperia s & ion at CES and FlamEmo's xperia s theme. Ever since then I've been obsessed with modding my arc and everything surrounded with android (and Sony xperia lol)

If I was a gamer I would probably not have an Android phone.
Android is overheating.
But it's the most advanced and stylish OS (WP is hot too.)
mtx65 said:
Well... I think there isn't really a choice because the only alternative on the same level is iOS, which is only for iPhones. And yeah, I would never buy an iPhone, so Android is the OS to use for me. Also, the many possibilities to mod your Android phone are pretty amazing because I really like to play around with my phone and try different things which wouldn't be possible with iOS.

+1.
i also think, that only iOS is the same level with android, but iOS is too expensive i think, with their 3.5", i love big screens.
and android is available on many market level, (low - mid - high end), and what makes me choose Arc for my phone is it's design!
i just can't stand the sexiness of Arc.
Nokia N9 and Lumia 800 are sexy too, but too bad those are not Android phone, and N9 is not available in my country(discontinued early).
WP is the only possibility i would try over any other mobile OS, the simplicity of the UI, and 'stable' performance of the OS are kinda interesting to me.
and most WP handsets have an AMOLED screen.
Because this is best OS for people who are "power users" and wants to have any choice and many possibilities (apps, look&feel).

Poor old HTC

So in light of the following news are HTC going to bring out something special or just quietly dye by the way side?

Bear in mind the current fiasco with ICS and the Desire HD.
So are you going to jump the HTC ship?
Ya well, the one series was a miss with consumers at large ,can't imagine what would have happened if the one x for example had sd card storage and a battery access
We can only hope they die a quick but painful death.
... unless they release ics source code then i don't care what they do.

I am already planning my jump over to Samsung rightly or wrongly, but they are talking about launching JB on the S3 and even the S2 in the very near future! And from what I have seen they seem to deliver what they say!
Well I wouldn't want them to die, afterall competition is always good, however I've decided that my DHD shall be my last HTC phone after all that has happened. I'm contemplating on waiting for the next Google phone, immediate updates and a bugless AOSP experience, what else could one ask for?
That is what you get when you mess with all the HTC Desire HD owners!!! Not releasing ICS for their most sold phone and telling their costumers lies about HTC Desire HD performance. And the same with HTC Desire.

Agreed, I cant believe they would release such a retarded phone and a clear attempt to copy the iPhone business model.
I'm due upgrade now but think ill just stick with my DHD.
They should have concentrated all efforts on savage battery life combined with expansion of mem.
That is the general consensus I am feeling form this thread

It’s a shame that a company with a lot of promise has now just peed of its fan base and almost washed their hand of them.
If you look at the number of ROMs in the development thread you can see that people pretty much rooted their HTC Desire HD as soon as they got them as the hardware far out preformed the software that was loaded and any potential update (although we all knew these wouldn’t come to light! lol )

Don't forget Samsung is from South Korea, so why keep spending money on SK if you know that "everyone" in SK has a Samsung phone :silly:
I hope they won't cancel the ICS update for developers. They had the same problem with Gingerbread update for the Desire.
They never released it as an OTA update, but they released it for developers.
So let's hope they do the same with Desire HD (in the future).
About One-series. It's indeed a sad story, but I think why most people didn't bought the One-phones was because most of them were probably waiting to see the Galaxy SIII and it seems that the SIII is the number one choice now for lots of Android users.
That or the New Galaxy Nexus (fingers crossed it won’t be produced by HTC) that will ruin the Nexus name IMO

Why would HTC ruin it? I like HTC's hardware
1 months ago I planned to buy the One X along with one of my best friends and I almost sell my DHD (it even already entered the "For Sale" thread in one of Indonesia's largest community forum). But after I read so much informations from early adopter of One X about how bad is the HTC's quality control over One X hardware productions I hold my decisions to upgrade because I don't wanna spend my time dealing with HTC service center.

So the s4 leaks are in...

Who is on the fence between these two phones and just awaiting the reveal to make the decision? If the s4 is actually the one being leaked today I will absolutely be getting the one no doubt. Was honestly hoping Samsung would change the design up, but I'm pretty sure I will be disappointed again.

Sony, LG, HTC (best to worst in that order). Seriously, don't go with Samsung.

Too much hate on the Samsungs. In my opinion get the Galaxy Note II or wait for the Note III. If not get the Galaxy SIV. The features included in it are amazing and also if they are all going AOSP then what does it matter. New TouchWiz is great. Also are you looking at the Samsung Galaxy SIV GTI9505 or GTI9500
It will be very biased here.
I say Samsung Galaxy SIV is first choice, then HTC One tied with Xperia Z. Both were great phones.
I havent tried the LG but they never update their phones. But its you call at the end

Just watch this:

(HTC one is ~= SGS4 in performance)
Nexus 4 is a TOP phone performance wise...
So the question is: is it worth spending ~600$ for build quality, better screen, better speakers and better camera?
It's not for me.

Here's my super biased opinion.
HTC One (because i've tried one yesterday, pretty good quality and it flies!)
Sony Xperia Z (because I used to love sony. Tried the phone, not much of a difference compared to the N4)
LG Optimus G Pro (because well.. We're using LG now aren't we? Not sure how their non-aosp devices would stand tho.)
Samsung Galaxy S4 (because it lags like a grand mother and i hate samsung for adding galaxy to the galaxy nexus and for their ****ty build quality.)

Because I already have it. I've even rooted it with cm10 , xenonhd(currently) and paranoidandroid 3.15. Its kind of boring. Maybe because last year I used to switch from different tablets and such. Literally have had 9. Im just trying to find a phone that won't get boring. Its really difficult

If nexus 4 is a boring smartphone, I'm Santa Claus.
If you try to learn something here on xda instead of change devices it's better. No one want to be a noob for ever.

Choose a phone based upon what you will use it for. Games, internet, movies, texting and calls? A smaller device might be suitable for you if you only plan on using it for texting/calls or a device like the s4 for movies/gaming.
The nexus 4 is a great device, decent screen size, amazing performance... even on stock.
your list doesn't even have nexus listed in it. I wonder why you posted this question here!
I'd say stick with the Nexus but if you're adamant about switching then
1. HTC One - unrivalled build quality, great performance, Sense is actually quite nice here, overall a great phone
2. GS4 - awful build quality and fugly TouchWiz but lots of development on XDA and outstanding hardware specs
3. Xperia Z - decent specs and great build quality/feel in hand (not to mention waterproof) but poor viewing angles on the display and if you're going to dish out money on a new phone you may as well get one with next-generation hardware rather than the XZ which is between the two generations
4. LGOG Pro - screen is too large IMO, cheap feel to the device and, being an LG, there's little chance of you getting updates and there's not too much development
We already have a phone comparing other phones.

Stay with Nexus or HTC 1.
