I'll try to find it. I originally heard about it on NPR.

Why don't people like HTC anymore?

Ok...found it. I do have to correct myself. Although HTC did score very poorly in the study, it was Nintendo that scraped the bottom by getting a score of ZERO.

How can you say that Ry? I read your posts. You are an educated person. So many people say how they want updates quickly and that this one of the big problems with Android. Avoiding the updates due to bloat ware would be a really smart move for manufacturers that are struggling to keep up with Samsung.

Apparently Wii don't give a sheet.

90% of the update issues is because of carriers OEM's can actually build their updates in a timely manner if they so choose

I know that's why it would make it appealing to buyers. No need to wait as long.

I'd love to see another Nexus made by HTC.

Don't know what happened to it looks like it was leaked but never came out. Maybe they pulled the plug on it since there other tablets weren't successful.

What happens on the One X when it locks up and the only way to fix it is to pull the battery like on my Incredible 2, is there a workaround for that?

Yes. There is a button combo that you press instead. Of course, I just woke up and can't remember what it is.

Ok, went and looked it up. If the screen and buttons aren't responding, you press the power button for 10 seconds which does a hard restart.

I'm on a rocket I can tell you tw blows on average a tw ROM takes up about 400+MB aosp at a whoping 184 tops I've seen ram usage on tw is trash making the phone almost stupid especially if your trying to multi task half the crap included on the rocket stock is useless if it wasn't for team chopsticks bringing cm to the phone it would have been utter crap I love it running paranoid android but Sammy really messed up on quality with screen blobs and lines cheap plastic so on I'm waiting for an HTC or Sony phone to really wow me I'm an og evo owner and miss HTC and I doubt Sony will ever pull their heads outwith all the extra space in aosp you can afford to DL a few apps especially since everything you do in android is technically an app anyway

My vivid used as much ram as my skyrocket while having less value added in the skin than touchwiz. There's a difference between bloat which is what sense has than value added features in touchwiz. A distinction has to be made.
Whether crackberrytraitor thinks its clunky or useful is useless and his own opinion. I got this phone specifically for those features and the lack of them makes stock android absolutely horrible for me. Sense has been more bloated than TW since TW 4.
Ram usage in a task manager is useless to comparenaince the OS should be caching as much as it can (ironically the caching was also misunderstood when Vista launched). It helps boost performance. Maybe TW ROMs are caching more efficiently than Sense. If the multitasking on the one x is any indicator, I'm willing to believe that HTC did something there.
Never have lag or freezes on stock ROM. GB or ICS.
Everyone knows the GPU uses shared memory similar to integrated PC graphics card since forever. We realized that when out Galaxy S phones with 512 were only showing 342 max or so visible to apps/system. That was two years ago... HTC was shipping phones with 768 when 512 was the norm cause Sense was so bloated, and people are acting like they've made some incredible feats of engineering to slim it down in one full or half version upgrade.
Sense is still 90% eye candy and bloat, with a bunch of changes done with no practical purpose.
It looks good, incredible even. But hardly anything in it enhances productivity for me.

Yes, but its probably the lightest skinning behind Motorola. A lot of Sony's stock apps are terrible bused an ion and it was unusable. Too much change for thevsake of change. The dialer, camera, and contacts app drive me mad, especially. But, the phone performed as well as devices with better hardware and newer software.
Sony is also putting too high MP in too small a sensor on their smartphone cameras. So it took some of the noisiest pictures I've ever seen with almost no options to try to tweak it... some thirdnpartt camera apps crashed the phone.
Most consumers would not like stock android. Its too bad cause its missing too much stuff people expect to be there, like codecs and integrations with other services. My mom is tech dumb and doesn't even have a Google account on her one x. Without sense it would be borderline unusable to her.

The Droid Incredible 2 has 768mb of ram and it still lags. Sense is eye candy that was good in term of looks for Android Gingerbread but now that Stock Android run's more smoothly and looks good there really no reason for Sense expect to slow down your phone. Sense I noticed tends to crashes a lot on my phone.

Ok, I'd like to start off by saying that I did not read all of this thread. My contract with AT&T is up next month, so I'll be looking to upgrade.
I'd also like to add that I am not a Samsung hater and also love them dearly, they truly innovate too.
With that being said, I'll explain why my next phone will probably be an HTC rather than a Samsung (I have a Inspire now, which has had its bugs and gripes, but I still love it)
- HTC's stellar customer service (I have emailed them many times and have always gotten a great answer rather than a generic response)
- HTC's build quality (metals and other materials compared to Samsung's flimsy plastic)
- Well rounded user software experience. I understand that Samsung had gotten this down recently with the GS3 but HTC's Sense (no matter if you love/hate it) has added to Android immensely in early stages. My Inspire is currently on Sense 3.0 and while sometimes it is intrusive, it polishes the OS in ways stock Android did not for gingerbread.
- Contrary to most people beliefs, they do actually update their phones in my opinion. My Inspire is technically over 2 year's old (The Desire HD came out September 2010), but HTC has provided two major updates for the Inspire (Android 2.2 to Android 2.3[Sense 2.1] to Android 2.3.5 [Sense 3.0]). I mean c'mon, HTC gave us Sense 3.0 on a phone that I thought for sure was done with updates. It has a single core processor and HTC said that Sense 3.0 would only work on dual-core. From the minute ICS was introduced, I knew I wouldn't get it, so I wasn't dissapointed when they announced it wouldn't.
While these reasons wouldn't mean a lot to most people, and some are my opinions, I truly still believe that HTC as a whole makes a great product and represents a quality brand. I have had a great experience with them and that is why I will buy HTC.

Me personally I just got the wrong phone. This phone was cranked out quickly with leftover sensation parts and an lte modem to show off atts new lte network. It got one major update, from 2.3.4 to 4.03 but it's pretty much done now and honestly if htc would just update it too fix the bugs and wretched battery life I'd be happy but it's evident that ain't gonna happen. I should of waited for the one x.
