Sprint HTC One - your opinion

[Almeuit]

I am curious if there are any HTC One users here on Sprint that are also in a 4g area. Do you get good signal and speeds? Also how do you like the phone in general?

I am stuck between the S4 and the HTC One... .

I don't have 4g in my area but I have to say this is the best phone I've every owned . I had the HTC evo 4g lte which I liked but had to have the HTC one so bought it off contract and don't regret it at all .

I'll jump in to say, yes I have Sprint, had an old Palm phone for five years and took the leap to an HTC One.

No Sprint is not 4G where I live, yet. It's coming, slowly showing up on the sensorly maps. I do spend time in areas where it is on, and it is fast. Speeds as fast or faster than home WiFi, 35 to 35 Mb speed, I thought that was impressive. But if you're on the fringe of a 4G area, you will see slower speeds.

I also stopped in an Apple Store to play with an iPhone, never looked close at one before, and after taking the leap of faith jump on a One, thought I'd do a hand's on comparison test. For all the buzz and hoopla the iPhone generated over the past few years, it feels smallish, has a noticeably smaller screen, and just didn't seem impressive after having the One for a few weeks. I guess it was cutting edge at one time, but not any more.

I've been using smartphones including HTC phones going back to the XV6700. Over the past few years, I've used the Pre, the original EVO, the epic 4g touch, galaxy nexus, and now the one. This is by far the most beautiful piece of hardware I have ever used. I feel like we finally have an android phone that puts the same amount of love in design that Apple has focused on for years. The core things I care about - call quality, battery life, responsiveness, and camera, all work very well. It's not perfect, but it's the closest in terms of overall design I've seen yet, and simply crushes the galaxy in terms of hardware feel.

As far as software, I've also thrown CM on just about everything listed above, trying to get as close to a stock experience as I could. I thought I'd hate sense. On the EVO it was just too much in the way, and frustrated the hell out of me with basic android apps (like the calendar) being forever replaced. A lot of that has been fixed by Google decoupling a lot of their core apps, so you can download them on the play store. But more importantly, this version of sense is very close to what I care about in stock. It is a clean interface that adds some design but doesn't replace the things that work well. The lock screen for example, is well thought out, and the ability to jump to any app on your launcher or directly into any notification is nice. The overall appearance is clean, and I think they went in the right direction moving away from the iconic flip-clock weather look, in favor of the more flattened graphics. The launcher is also perfectly usable, although I would like to be able to modify the grid on the homescreens a little more. Generally speaking, sense stays out of my way, and for the first time in many phones, I'm not salivating to throw a custom rom on it.

I would like quick toggles, and I think blinkfeed would be more useful if there was more granular control over the feeds (the highlights feed edits what it shows me from my facebook and twitter timelines - I would like to be able to tell it to just show me all of those feeds), but these are small improvements, and I think they highlight how much I actually like what HTC did here.

I really hope HTC keeps putting out gorgeous phones like this to differentiate itself in the market.

I live in the state of Minnesota in the southern part of the Twin Cities and I get 4G LTE where I live. I manage to peak at 31mbps down and 10mbps up.

So far, I really like how quick the phone is. I love the styling and the battery life is a huge improvement from my last phone (Nexus S). The thing that surprised me the most was the quality of the speakers on the phone.

I love it. I'm outside of Tampa, and I get sporadic 4G service. The phone itself is top notch. Highly impressed.

Love it!
I'm in Vegas with no LTE but even with just 3G, this phone outperforms my old phone. It also had gotten better reception than other carriers. I posted a story about a trip where my phone had full bars and a Verizon iPhone had zero! Also, the wifi antenna is really impressive! I pick up the signal at my work where other phones do not!
Excited about LTE!

Great device so far with no issues would recommend it to everyone even over the S4 since Samsung starting to cookie cutter their devices.
