    4.7 vs 5in screen differences

    Now this makes a ton of sense and puts into perspective my visual perception. Thanks for the clarification on viewing space.

    Not receiving group messages (sent from friends iPhone)

    Thank you, I was having the same problem with my phone and came from an iphone 4s. I did what you recommended and it fixed my issue.

    4.2.2 delayed for US carriers due to an exclusivity deal with Verizon?

    Yes where was this read? Personally, I don't mind the skip to 4.3. The current version is just fine and the phone performs near flawlessly so I can skip 4.2 to the latest assuming it doesn't take a year to roll out.

    4.7 vs 5in screen differences

    LOL. Way to rub it in;) So I think it's fair to say that there ARE such thing as dumb questions:) At least my rumor thread can get some good responses. Snapdragon 800 is definitely the SoC I would have rather had in the HTC One that I have. It puts the benchmarks in the Tegra 4 to shame...

    4.7 vs 5in screen differences

    Thanks for the clarification. I am surprised at the size difference of the .3. Personally I would like a 5in screen as I like watching Xfinity or netflix on my phone. The refresh would kinda bum me out because I would want it and wouldn't be eligible! I am all about great design AND great...

    4.7 vs 5in screen differences

    Sounds like a dumb question but I see many people say the 4.7in screen is .3in smaller than say a S4. Isn't it .5 inches? Wouldn't .3 make it a 4.10 inch screen out of 4.12 or 5'? Or is it calculated by being .7 of an inch so therefore only .3 difference? I compare my HTC One to my Vita which...

    Beats Audio. When to turn it on

    While the sound is louder, there is significant quality degradation. I leave it on always as it's a noticeably cleaner sound coming from the speakers.

    Would you buy HTC One over GS4 if One was also made from 'cheap plastic'?

    I have an HTC One and am very big on aesthetics. However, I do feel a bit guilty each day I look at my phone through a case. lol. Most people get a case for their phones and I don't care how people try to spin it, it ruins the aesthetics. Quite honestly, the HTC One may look worse to me...

    HTC One quality issues

    Hey OP, It sounds like you have some legitimate problems with your phone and would venture to say it's not the norm. However, I have noticed with ALL electronics, people that peruse forums, tend to "find" more problems then if they didn't study the forums. I am not knocking forum goers; I am...

    small pin sized chip on front speaker space (bottom grille).

    Yeah the phone didn't have this prior. It's really not a big deal and it is literally the exact size of a speaker hole. It looks like a spec of dust but is a chip that can't be rubbed out as it's not superficial. However, after thinking about replacement and just the time to get it replaced...

    small pin sized chip on front speaker space (bottom grille).

    Ironically this is the first phone I have put both a screen protector and case on. I have only had my black Sprint HTC One for about a week and have taken very careful of it as I do all of my electronics; especially in the beginning. I noticed today there is a silver dot about the exact same...

    Just came back from Sprint store....

    My take: The difference is 100.00 which, unless money is an issue, really shouldn't be a big deal. The S3 is still very capable TODAY. However, if your son is going to use the phone for the next few years, I would imagine the speed and updates will show itself in about 1 year. The S3 WILL...

    Who goes "Naked"

    This is the first phone I am using a screen protector and case. The military grade screen protectors are much nicer than ones I have tried in the past. I can barely tell it's on. I did get a case (just a basic Sprint branded Gel case) but ONLY for the fact the camera hole gives enough of a...

    Black Sprint HTC ONE

    Can't go wrong with either. I had some in store credit to burn and got a clear Sprint case (gel style) and unfortunately the back is almost shaded white so you can't even see the black on the back. I figured I would actually get a case and the military grade screen protector. The case isn't...

    What bloatware and apps can I get rid of?

    thank you much. So Fast Boot should be "unticked" then correct? It currently is unticked and I will keep it that way if that is what clears the cache during shut down. As silly as it sounds, I didn't know about double clicking home to flick away open apps. I am very grateful for the forums...
