My TB kinda went crazy during the summer and I decided it was finally time to lay it to rest. It definitely improved after ICS, but after a while everything went downhill. This thing kept cycling through problems like SMS not sending; not sending MMS; not getting messages; still random data drops; dying EXTREMELY fast, like it would die in six hours of me
not using it, and an hour and a half when I do. And I'm the guy who could actually make his last for almost three days with the standard battery.
It would die so fast that it would actually lose battery
while charging. Yes, it would die faster than it charged. Or it would just not charge at all and stay the same. But it would do all of this off and on, and it would switch one problem with another like every week.
I took mine in with my insurance and got a Spectrum 2. It's not super amazing or anything, but it's a real good mid-range phone, and definitely a major step-up from the TB. My upgrade is in March, and I'm not sure if I will stay with Verizon. Regardless though, I'm probably going to get whatever HTC comes out with as the successor to the One. I loved the DNA; I loved the One; I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like whatever they come up with next, even if it turns out to be a spec bump instead of something else radical. If for some reason HTC doesn't blow me out of the park, or Verizon takes forever to get the phone out again, I'd consider the Moto X. By that time it'd be a little old though, and since it came out pretty late compared to the One and the S4, I have no clue when they'd make a successor for it, but I doubt I'd be disappointed.
