trading my htc one for nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i originally had the iphone 5 but i traded that for an htc one and i must admit am a phone junkie always wanting to switch things up and now i got an offer for my htc one plus 40 dollars. only thing im sad about is downgrading from 32 gigs to 16 but for some reason i really want to try the nexus 4. would you guys reccomend this? yes or no. i dont think you can go wrong with either phone honestly

You're getting ripped off in my books. HTC one is twice the phone mate.

well the thing is nobody on craigslist is selling one. should i ask for more money? if i honestly deserve more money than $40 plus the trade im sure hed understand and if not i can just keep my htc one. i just kind of like the hardware setup of the htc one as far no hardware keys etc

Is the HTC unlocked? Sell it on eBay and buy the nexus. But honestly, it's not worth it the nexus is somewhat of a downgrade. My bro has a one and the screen and speakers alone are a lot better. Plus, 16gb does suck I have 10 GB of music and I don't like to stream because T-Mobile doesn't have the best signal when I'm driving around town. And if you don't like sense put cm on the phone. The developer edition comes out soon so vanilla Roms should be bug free and updates will be on par with Nexus 4

htc is not unlocked i could sell on craigslist though how much money extra would i be getting if i sold my htc one and bought a nexus 4 from ebay. i would honestly rather just keep my htc one than go through that hassle how much money would be good for a fair trade and how can i explain to him such as we already agreed on 40 but plan on meeting up tomorrow

Sell the one on eBay or clist or swappa. Then buy the nexus off of eBay or the playstore. I think a new nexus is about 350 or so. A HTC one used is about 450 to 500 I'm guessing. The point is that a bad deal on your side. The nexus has been out for about a year and the one for about a month. The nexus can be boght brand new at a cheaper rate then the one.

Oh see I don't know how much you can really sell for since its locked to a certain carrier. My brother got a really good deal when upgrading contract it essentially cost him $50 (paid $150 with a $100 mail in rebate) if I were you I would just keep the HTC. Is there something it lacks for you

Its not in stone. I've backed out of deals just say you did some research and the price difference is not worth the trade. You aren't obligated even if you make a verbal agreement to meet.

honestly i just wanted to try something different and the nexus looks pretty bad ass to me i just like the over all design. i am not all up to date on specs and features so im not going in very educated to this trade thats why i came here i like the htc and all but i really have always sort of had a thing for nexus phones. so just keep the htc is the vibe im getting? what phone WOULD be worth trading the htc one for? im always looking for something new...smh

Nexus 4 has a bad photo camera.
No full LTE support.
No extSD.
but has much better software cos it's vainilla/aosp Android with Google binaries that are supported on AOSP without issues.

The Nexus 4 hardware would be a downgrade. How about you flash your H1 to aosp instead? Then you would have the same software as the nexus.

Currently no phone is better in my opinion. This and the gs4 are essentially equal in hardware it depends on preference of amoled over LCD. However, I do think the features touchwiz offers like the hover gestures and stuff are better than things sense has

so say i really really just wanted to trade for some reason, and did the trade plus get $50. i know i have the better phone but atleast im not getting ripped off as bad? or is this still pretty bad?

Sheeit if it wasn't him offering it would have been me.
OP, if you are in such a hurry to try the Nexus 4 that you're willing to allow yourself to be ripped off by a local buyer offering you only $50, you are carazy.
$100 is more like it.

Does it really? My brother hasn't complained but I think he's gonna flash cm soon anyways. I had a s3 for about a month and it never lagged and that was just a dual core but I suppose there's a big difference between sense and touch wiz

good buy?

about to buy this phone. Mint condition, locked from AT&T i suppose. Seller want $250 but i can negotiate down to $200. Is it a good idea? It just a phone + charger + hdmi cable and case.
Thanks for the help. Im using the Nexus One right now.
I recommend buying the phone if you can get an upgrade at a lower price at the phone store. But, spending $250 dollars on a phone when the galaxy nexus is around the corner is not a smart idea.
I will be getting the galaxy nexus when it comes out.
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
I think this is a good buy. The Atrix is in a peculiar situation right now. It is not the best phone on the market and with Galaxy Nexus coming out, it'll be inferior and it may not get stock Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is easily one of the best phones out, and it's specs are comparable with that of Galaxy SII. It also has a fingerprint scanner (which is so amazingly convenient and works wonders) and the webtop hack is pretty useful.
Most importantly, it is cheap and future proof. You cannot buy ANYTHING comparable for under 400 dollars. With its specs you'll be able to use it and be happy with it easily for 1-2 years. With the great developer support, hopefully we'll be able to flash ICS based rom. This is a great phone to have and its under-appreciated by the general market.
Buy it. Root it. Unlock it. Flash Aura or CM7 with Faux kernel and you won't be disappointed. Then just go ahead and upgrade in 1-2 years when your cellular contract is up for extension.
Agree with lilhyper.
I went through a torrent of phones before at&t decided to early upgrade me, and it hasn't disappointed me.
While technically inferior, consider the fact that technology becomes inferior literally overnight. What matters is if it can handle your demands. It handles mine, and I brutalize hardware.
200 is a steal unless you have an upgrade soon, then wait for that and get a newer phone.

Hi all,need suggestion about to buy this phone.
But compare to O2x,which one is the best? Though i like to play games,and some say that atrix doesn't support more than two point of multitouch and has poor frame rate.
Please advise.
Thanks
i can upgrade with AT&T with a free HTC Inspire. Is that better or worst compare to this Atrix 4G?
I bought mine for $180 from some chick who had just gotten the 4s

For starters, do your own research.
Atrix is a better phone imho because it's a dual core phone with more memory, a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, and bigger battery.
Inspire is bigger with 4.3" screen instead of the Atrix's 4". However, it comes in at a lower resolution, is a single core phone, and the battery life is worse.
We had 2 Atrix's and the wife recently moved to the Inspire.
I had used it previously.
She wants to swap back.
The Inspire is a good solid phone. If you like a larger screen it was a great choice. The Atrix 2 would be an alternative now.
Personally I am sticking with the Atrix, does everything I need. For me 4 inch screens are about the sweet spot with phones . I have a tablet for browsing and a laptop for work so prefer this form factor.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
thanks guys for the help. The Atrix is $30 upgrade from AT&T so i think i'll get that.
$200... heck $300 is still a great buy for this phone!...

Try another store. You should not have to change data plans they do not expire as long as you are paying for them.
As said just swapped the wife's phone without having to.

Look in the market place here. There are a few for sale or trade. $300 is too steep for a good used one, you should be able to get one closer to $200 easily.
I just traded mine our I would have given you a good deal on it.
Best of luck to you.

The Atrix definitely has potential. Size is perfect. I came from the HTC Aria and before that a Nexus One. Got the Atrix on an upgrade for $50. Solid purchase.

The Aria is an awesome little phone when OC'd running CM7. Not sure what to do with it now that I have the Atrix. As for the Nexus One, its kinda broken. Runs but will eventually reboot with any moderate usage.

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood

Definitely do it, you won't miss one of your 3 HD2s and iPhones have great resale value.
HD2>iPhone any day. However, if you're looking for money, do it but the feeling of not having fully working HD2 can hurt.
Go for it. If you're not into hacking that much, iPhone is much more stable and more things work on it, and games don't have 10 fps.
take it and sell it to earn some money.
iPhone has 1 thing that drives me off it, almost everything has price and it is not open.

[Q] Should I fix my Nexus 7 or wait it out for the next gen?

Hi, I got a Nexus 7 last December and loved it. Please note the passed tense because a month ago, a friend sat on my Nexus 7 and the screen cracked.
I have since been planning on buying a new screen on eBay for about $100. However, recently I have been hearing about the leaked specs of the next gen Nexus 7.
What I am wondering is if I should save up more money for the new one and just trash the old tablet with my friends scrawny butt imprinted in glass, or just fix it because the next gen isn't worth it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts because I can't decide.
Not to be a ****, but doesn't your friend have insurance that could refund that $100? It's normal here to be insured for breaking other people's stuff.

Most home owners or renters insurance has a deductible that's greater than the $100...

Yeah, that could work. Probably could get 50-100 for the cracked one, more if I include things like my case (probably won't fit the new one by my guess)
Sell them separate. Will take more time. But more money. If you want a quick 100 sell it as a whole.

Looking for the quick 100, I really miss having a tablet. :'( Also it has been rumored that the base model of the next gen will only be $229 (current gen 199) so I will have most of the tablet paid for by the time it comes out. I think I've made my decision, thanks everyone
