Holy s**t, I hate it when that happens.
Couldn't find anything atm unfortunately, I think OEM housing replacements normally become available a few weeks after the phone launches.
I know how you feel mate, I did a similar thing 2 days after owning a Nexus S.

Can you post some pictures up would love to see what damage looks like. I feel your pain though dropped my sgs2 and got a couple of dents and my heart was pounding! Not a nice feeling at all.

I'll try to get a camera first. But beware! Not for the faint of heart.

I don't think you're going to be able to do it yourself like other phones. Perhaps HTC will have some kind of service where you can pay a bit of $$ and trade for a refurb.... Otherwise it's going to be hard with a unibody.
M.

can you post some pics

I thought so too because of its unibody design.. sigh.

Picture or it didn't happen!

Nokia lumia 800 is an unibody as well and there is a possibility to change...
So think guys.... What comes in,can always comes out

i think a case is very necessary...
my camera lens got a scratch from sitting on my table, screen up.. when u put the phone screen up, the entire lens is in contact with the tabletop because the lens is flushed with the metallic ring.. god, this is a real retarded design.. i've used my hd2 for 2 years and the lens has not have a single scratch because the len is recessed compared to the metallic frame... this time round however, 4 days new, and the htc one x len got scratched. real.....
word of advise: need to put something on surface for the phone to sit..
put screen up, camera lens gets scratch.. put screen faced down, entire screen in contact.. higher chance of scratches on screen.. seriously, i dunno why htc keep designing phones with low battery capacity when sense eats battery like kids eat sweets and design phone with cameras sticking out all the time...
they are like the only people around who design phones with the camera sticking out, begging u to scratch the damn lens..

Yep same here..
Coming from the DHD to the Sensation XE i was happy
They improved it a lot....But for the One they lapsed

Unlucky man, sounds like a disaster to me. I'd be so sad if my new toy was damaged hope you get it sorted!

from Sensation XE to Galaxy NEXUS to ONE S and now to ONE X?

hey guys..
four months ago i bought the xe and sold it for the gnex, because of the better display.
now i exchanged my gnex for the one s and now i have the problem that the display isn't perfect. i sent it back to htc because of the coating failure.
and now i am thinking of selling the ons and paying estimated 100€ to buy the ONE X.
would you do it or would you stay with the ONE S?
are you happy with the ONE X?

I LOVE MY ONE X
No faults whatsoever. But maybe you should wait for the sg3.

Send it back and wait for the sgs 3 if you want or get a one x if you want the display.

no i don't like samsungs. i hate touchwiz and i love sense
therefore it should be a htc.
but i mainly bought the one s because of it's beautifuuuuuul design, but the screen is really a problem for me
do you like the design of the one x? do you have any scratches?

If you're a display fanatic, like the Sensation, the One X ships with two different panels. One's warm and one's cool. The consensus is that the cool is preferred.
There's also a stange issue that affects some One X's that causes graphics issues like screen flickering and dots. It's most likely s/w but you could be impacted until HTC comes up with a solution.
You might want to hold on to the One S until the dust settles.

what are the display types called ?
which is the warm one and which the cool one ?

I LOVE the design of the X, it is the epitome of a perfect phone. Beautiful to look at, as light as a feather, and so soft and smooth to touch and ooerate. And very very fast at switching between apps. And the screen size is as large as can be without being uncomfortable. Any larger and the buttons and keyboard are too big for thumbtyping.
No scratches

Tough one, if you are anal about display quality, go for the X. If not stay with the S. Much better feel to it.
But I ended up with the X eventually. You can read alot about the X and S here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582396
Edit, one thing though. The developers seems to take on the X. Leaving the S a little behind atm. But that can change.

HTC One X build quality is abysmal.

I have no idea how any of you guys have a flawless HTC One X. Seriously.
I have had 10 phones. TEN!
How HTC can send this pile of rubbish out is just beyond me. Sure, the screen is lovely. If it's not covered with yellow splodges, or a faulty digitizer. Or the case surrounding it doesn't creak or flex.
I updated my latest and unfortunately not the greatest 10th phone to sense 4.1. And it's great they have got rid of the three dots.
But whatever they doing at their factories, they are not doing much quality checking. Or perhaps they are sticking the screens down with chewing gum.
If anyone asks me "should I buy a HTC One X". Guess what my answer is going to be?
Sure, if you want to spend the next 2.5 months sending your phone back for replacements, spending over £160 in doing so in line rental, telephone calls to your supplier and postage to send it back. Go for it. It's really fun.
So how did you do it guys? Seriously? Or am I thinking that some of you have actually got slight flaws, but are living with them.
I honestly feel like I could get a crate of HTC One X's and there would be 5 or 6 in it that were without any kind of flaws.
I don't need to put on a flame proof suit. I'm sure I'll get jumped on for this post. However, I genuinely do not believe for one moment that there is such thing as a flawless HTC One X.
People can't seem to understand why Samsung is charging ahead with such success with badly designed phones compared to HTC.
Well, now you know why. Because as much as the design of the Samsung is pants, I imagine their build quality is light years ahead of HTC's.
So it depends if you want your phone to look good, or to actually be without build quality issues.
I know which I would rather have. And let me tell you, it's lesson hard learned.
What a pile of crap.

The reason why you're getting so many bad ones is probably because, unless you are going to a store and personally picking your phone out of the new ones, it's probably a refurb. HTC likely doesn't do much QA for refurbs, so you're sorting through phones that have been returned for the same reasons why you returned your phone. In all likelihood, the defective Samsung phones never even leave the factory.
It sucks, but what can you do?

Sorry to say the obvious, but you've had some really really awful luck with your devices if you've managed to go through 10, and all of them with faults that are worthy of a replacement.
If my device has any issues, it's that there is a slight gap around the screen bezel, enough for 1 tiny spec of dust to get stuck in, and tbh, that's the sort of issue I expect from any phone I purchase, I know Samsung don't do any better with gaps between joins in their design, Apple definitely don't. Guess I have a godly HOX or something?

My HOX has one slight issue as far as im aware, and yes im LIVING with it. Its the fault where if I hold it with my Left hand (WHICH I USUALLY DO) I completely or mostly lose WiFi, I can't be bothered doing the squeeze test etc, as this makes it worse. And I know I have the issue, but 10 phones worthy of replacement? Sounds like your more unlucky than the devils *****.
But canI ask a question?
WHAT IS THESE 3 DOTS EVERYONE IS ON ABOUT?!

I know those issues with a big german service contractor of O2. Not HTCs fault directly but very annoying.
They replace broken phones with refurbished ones and save the QC.
First One X had a faulty digitizer after 3 month -> Swap
Returned one had a gap at the bottom where the light shone through, the black plastic around the screen stood up a bit, a rattling vibrator and a bright 2 cm strech where the bottom backlight is situated. -> Swap
Third one now seems technically ok. I can push the glass out if I like to, because it does not really sit tight which is ok as I am a tinkerer anyway and the SIM card holder looks like somebody chewed on it.
They don't want to swap the card holder alone and want the whole phone returned.
I think I will keep it as I guess it can only get worse with a new one. Chewed holder is nothing compared to most complaints here
@Wilks3y
The 3 dots are a big bar for the menu at the bottom on the screen that show up with some applications that are not yet optimized for Android 4. It's annoying and takes space, but nothing else.

HTC said they solved all the quirks in PRODUCTION. You're getting replacements from your carrier, and you're getting the phones which have been manufactured long time ago (before june or july), because they always hand over the older devices first. They know that some people aren't so aware of the problems and device will eventually find an owner which does not care or know about problem. What you got caught into is the cruel business model.
And that's the reason everyone should insist on picking your phone in the store. I always tell them to show me 5 devices out of the stock and I will inspect them personally (that's a costumer right) for any faults. HOX is not the first device with QC problems, and two owners and friends of mine have zero problems. and if you think samsung is any better, my friend got one in June and chrome plastic around screen started peeling already with his phone always in protective case! plus he cannot get it replaced on warranty because "he himself damaged the device by dropping it".
scam is everywhere mate.

Why have you created a new thread for the same rant?
I understand your frustration though. I went through a very similar thing and only yesterday is it sorted. Unless the wifi issue comes back. I bought the phone on release.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

when you say build quality is abysmal it means all the one Xs they make are from the same kind of quality, for example very cheap plastic being etc or they all have a broken screen
this is not true, in fact a flawless One X is very fancy in terms of build and sturdiness
the issue you talk about is not build quality, its quality control, meaning some defected phones are being let out of factory
when you keep getting defected phones (like my luck when i first went to buy it) it means you should change your source

I have bought one x about 2-4 weeks after being released and had no problems with it so far. Probably some series of phone have been faulty or had low quality control .

I'm with the OP.
I don't think it's easy to quantify what the problems are with this phone - or is it indeed the manufacturer?
Here's my story.
First phone - yellow patch problem - wasn't sure about the wifi issue - but the yellow spots sucked.
Within the 28 day period, so got a straight swap with retailer - in my case Tesco mobile partner (2020mobile I think they're called).
In this time I really baby'd the phone - no drops, no hard knocks, no nothing. No screen protector admittedly - but - within this initial 3 week period, the Gorilla glass 2 (ROFL) still picked up fine scratches.
Replacement phone arrived - this one - less yellowing patches - but still enough for me to notice and not want on a phone which is meant to do me for 2 years. Also at this point I noticed the phone had the infamous wifi problem.
Again, really fine scratching appearing on screen.
So - sent back - outside 28 days, so had to be through HTC repair.
After 1st repair - looks like they'd replaced the screen, but not fixed the wifi - plus they'd managed to scratch the camera lense and body when it was in, so, back it went for repair.
It came back with new housing (ie no camera lense scratch or body scratches), but now I'm finding the wifi issue has clearly not been resolved.
This is just completely nuts.
And the fine scratches on my new screen are now starting to show, after about 3 or 4 weeks use - again with me babying it.
Seriously - this phone if it it didn't have these flaws would be great.
But in reality it seriously sucks.
End of my tether.

I also agree with OP
.. to many different and possible defects:
- GPS
- Sensors
- dead pixel
- dust under Display
- yellow spots
- WIFI issues
- Heating issue (differs from model)
- case and display - Quality (not instantly visible after unpacking)
- Bluetooth
... many more
i changed my phone also 9 times, important part:
- different shops
- different serial 23 to 27
and the best of allnce i sent my phone for repair and received a much worse model with two defects on the case
it defect rate is much better in SH /HT 27 but still a lack of quality...
Well, i think some of the defects are not visible to everyone because they don´t use/need the features !!
SGS3 was no option for me - i stick to the HOX - just want a model without lets call it "build" defects or lack of quality control.. the result is always the same for the customer. I messed around with all the problems and still love the phone ... i think for many "ex" HTC customers it was the last HTC phone for a long time ...
So HTC missed the spot - they invested a lot of money in "interesting" projects or companies instead of dealing with the core business - i am sure the managers who are responsible for this all are still earning a lot of money ... and a few thousand workers have been fired
Well done HTC

I changed my hox 4 times,every time different problem so then I changed to another phone make ,feels bad leaving HTC but when your QUADCORE phone becomes a source of a pain like in my case there is no point hangin about,can't wait to see what HTC will come up with comes Christmas or April 2013 really excited

Clearly you have grit or something in your pocket then.
Remember - scratches are caused by a harder object, rubbing against the screen. This isn't a manufacturing fault. The screen is not anymore susceptible to scratches than any previous gorilla glass, nor any other standard glass screens.
Either get a screen protector, or find the source of your scratches, ie grit in your pocket and get rid of it. If you have a pouch, could be there is grit in that embedded in the inside fabric layer

So if I go to a store and they give me 10 defective devices what would I do? Not go through that store.
Or maybe creating multiple threads will solve what common sense couldn't.
Why not merge your two whining threads together since you haven't said anything new.

I don't know what the deal is, but it ain't the overall build quality.
I had ONE HOX and it's perfect build quality. Actually, best build quality I've ever had, and certainly WAAAAAY Better than my mom's SGSIII or my previous SGSII and SGS.

This is a fact that has been established. But still refreshing to see it pop up again . But I agree with the OP. When I said goodbye to the HTC sensation XL, the One X was on my priority list, for all the obvious reasons. But then I asked myself: do I really want to go through it again, given that everyone is going through with the One X. The answer is no. Half my "thanks" came from defending HTC in the early launch, but now when I see the complaining posts, I cant be bothered to defend anyone anymore.

Now I feel extremely lucky, having a phone with none of these defects. SH23.
One X to rule them all.

Yeah, I think the OP meant 'quality control' or 'reliability'. Not 'build quality' - I'd say if anything, the quality feel of hTCs higher end devices in the hand is second only to Apple. It's my big issue with Samsungs, really - they charge £450 for a device that is made of exactly the same materials, and has had exactly the same amount of thought into the design as a £90 ZTE Blade. Incidentally, my HOX is 'perfect', at least for now - they do exist.
However, for the bootloader unlocking/warranty invalidation nonsense hTC have been preaching, even if I hadn't heard so many bad things about the One X, I'm never going to buy another device from them or advise others to. Kind of a shame when devices like the Desire and Desire Z were so damn good.

I bought my hoz, from singapure, using eBay. Its perfect, but I will choose all my entery life a broken hoz than a good sg3. A lot of my friend from my country got 20 time their sg3 back, and still changed it, broken glass inside the Box, no light bottons, others dont turn on and so on. As they dont speak english, and as they use sg3 app phone, no modding at all. I will start writing for then in sg3 Forum talking about Samsung sg3 broken glasses and defect software quality.
So that will be a lovely Forum. It will be a good action, cause a love my friends and to help them. I think every hoz uswrs with friends with sg3 problems should do the same.

Trading Note II for HTC One?

as the title says, anyone with a Note II thinking about ditching it for a One? don't get me wrong, i love my N2, but it's something about it that i don't like. maybe its the size, and coming from a G2, the plastic annoys me also. I'm just not sure if I want to give up the screen real estate, and the powerful battery.
On the other hand, the one is GORGEOUS, the camera is better, and i dont mind giving up the LED display for a 468(?)ppi display. Plus, i prefer Sense over any other version of android. its much more polished.
any thoughts?

Think you answered your own question here really. It's simply a better quality device. Win factor!

I just sold my Sprint Note 2 for $550, with the HTC One in mind. I figured I'll sell now while the phone could feach a pretty penny.
I too love the N2 but its size does somewhat get annoying. I figured I could try the HTC One and if I don't like it I could resell that and by then the GS4 will be announced.
Its basically a never ending cycle of phone for me.

I'll be selling mine as well. I'm not a huge HTC or Sense fan, but this phone is too sexy to pass up.

I'm thinking about it. I am expecting the screen on the One to be the best you can find on the market judging by the HTC One X's Super LCD 2 is the best that I have used so far. So I am likely to switch over, the only thing that's making it difficult is a great battery and I actually enjoy the screen size.

The Note 2 I had already went to my dad A long time ago. I still use my old DHD
Why? I just hate the plastic feel.
The WORST part of the Note 2 was that it would take 2 seconds to turn on the screen... I couldn't stand it after 2 weeks and gave it to him.
Why do Samsung devices take so long to wake? It is for that reason I am hesitant to buy the GS4.

There are only two reasons anyone should consider the N2 in the first place:
- They are heavy productivity users and get a lot of use out of S Pen, S Note, multiview, airview, etc.
- They want the 5.5" display to try and have a single device double as a phone and a tablet.
Since OP didn't mention either of those two things he probably should have gotten a high-end smartphone and not have had to deal with the N2's enormous size. The N2 was never meant to compete with the likes of the SGS3, One X, and Optimus G and neither the One nor SGS4 will have the productivity features of the N2 so they aren't real competitors either. A lot of people bought the N2 only because it was "shiny and new" rather than for what it could do. They are the ones that create threads like this. So, OP, get the One as it’s probably a lot more suited to your needs than the N2 ever would be.
As for "plastic." Samsung's devices are as well built and durable as HTC's. To allow for the removable battery a lot of people still consider important they have paper thin plastic back covers that peel off to allow access to the battery. It's a design choice to accommodate function. The design's been that way since the SGS2 came out. With ten times more SGS3's sold than One X's (an admittedly more handsome device) the public would seem to be OK with it. And the N2's internals are made of magnesium (item 3 below) which is an expensive (but light) alloy to work with.

yeah, i didn't get it for the TW features. after a few weeks i put paranoid on it. but i did get it to double as a phone and tablet. if i do get the one, i'll have to get used to a normal sized phone not running phablet mode. but i didn't get it because it's "shiny and new". like i said , i needed something that doubles as a phone and tablet. but on a day to day thing, it gets uncomfortable sometimes.
but samsung devices are not as durable as most HTC phones, plastic just can't stand up to metal/aluminum. imo, the galaxy s iii outsold the one x because it was on 5 different carriers (and of course samsungs amazing marketing). the one x being exclusively on AT&T is the reason i didn't get it. & it doesn't too much matter what the inside of your phone is made of when you drop it and the cheap material on the outside can't protect the phone from damage.

Based on what? There were as many One X/L/+'s with displays cracked from drops as there were SGS3's and N2's. HTC had tons of issues with the Teg3 One X including public acknowledgment that the design caused Wi-Fi issues on some devices because of tolerances not met in the production process. And most of HTC's recent phones have been plastic too. Here's what happens to the matte finish on the One X(s) and DNA/Butterfly when exposed to any kind of abrasion. So I totally get that people like HTC's designs better (I do too) but that doesn't make them more durable.
And here's what happens to aluminum-backed devices with wear.

HTC took the best deal they could get. I'm sure if VZW and T-Mobile (Sprint did sort of) wanted to sell the One X they wouldn't have ended up in an AT&T exclusive. The One X was a beautiful device with a fantastic display cursed with an undersized battery and laughable storage on the XL and adequate storage on the One X. HTC's 2012 with the One's was their worst in history in terms of revenue, margin, and market share and that takes in to account worldwide sales not just what happened here in the U.S. I'm sure that wasn't what they were planning on when the One's were in R&D. Any how or why Samsung outsells them is less important than the fact HTC will be out of business soon if they don't come up with a formula to drastically improve sales. Let’s hope the One is a step in that direction.

A uni-body design (One X/One) can't distribute impact as well as a modular design. You'll see the battery cover fly off a Samsung device in most drop tests. That's a by-product of the energy of the impact being dissapated. Here's a N2 that survived a drop from 5'.
And here's a Samsung device being torture tested.
I was a very happy Teg3 One X owner and wouldn't hesitate to buy another HTC device if it met my needs. I'm using an N2 now and happy with it too but that doesn't mean I've suddenly become a Samsung fan-boy. Every device and the manufacturers that build them have strengths and weaknesses and it's not blasphemy to talk about them.

yay welcome, really liked the stock slim rom that you made for the note 2!

Well, I just bought myself a Note 2 and love it wouldn't ditch it for a htc one!
hmmm... now I looked at the pictures from the camera... damn

I must say they are pretty different!
Note 2 is a 5.5'' while One is 4.7'' so it's a big difference in screen size
Note 2 is all plastic a la samsung meaning c.r.a.p. while the One is premium aluminum body
So if you don't like huge screen smartphones but prefer a 1080p delicious screen with Terminator build phone switch the damn phone

Seeing that this phone was not intended to go up against htc one, it sure is holding it own. Most post I reading only problem with the note is the material it made from. I say isn't this the reason we have insurance and for all those that are prone to dropping their phone..get a good case. Why do I need a phone that is waterproof? How many times are you going to drop it into the toilet? I got my note because I want phone and tablet and the note has lived up to that. I like the spec's of the one and if I was to cross over it would be because I want a new toy. Not because of some lame excuse the phone is aluminum.

Like I said this argument would be valid if we were comparing to same things. I would argue about beats headphones vs Boise. I wouldn't argue a BMW (luxury car) vs an economy car. The consumer is buying for different reasons. BMW consumers has money and therefore it looks and feel pretty is okay. Economy consumers are on a budget therefore the question for them is can it get me from point a to point b.

Wow. I've been using HyperDroid ROMs on my Note2 and I'm very happy to see you here!
And to the topic: my feelings with Note2 are absolutely same as OP. I hate the plastic and I never use s-pen. Its going to be my first HTC Android phone (had Titan 'bout year ago).

I'm seriously considering it, as much as I love the note 2 it feels too big in my hands. The One has a beautiful design, great screen, high ppi and those dual speakers are all things that attract me to it. But I'm waiting for the SGS4 reveal and user experience before making any decisions, I want to know how good the battery life is and if the gpu throttling is going to ruin the gaming experience on the device. If the phone holds up and the rumored specs of the SGS4 turns out to be true, I'm more than likely getting the One in black. But I will miss the expandable memory and amazing battery life of the Note though. Only time will tell

Any LG Flex Users got to a M8?

I have a LG Flex and like it a lot. Thinking on maybe getting the M8 and wondering if any Flex users have done the switch. What do you miss about the Flex and or if you regret it at all. Also how is the M8 battery compared to the Flex. The Flex battery life is what I like most about it. It's nice that I don't have to worry about charging my Flex untill I go to bed. I was going to try a Z2 but Sony is screwing up the release. I like what LG is doing and might get the G3 but kind of what a change since I had the G2 and Flex. Darm can't edit my title. lol

My roommate has the G Flex and the biggest change is the voice quality besides the 1080p screen. The voice quality (and sound in general) on the G Flex is mediocre at best.
When it comes to battery, they are both pretty comparable. The M8 has a more efficient processor and a faster user interface. My roommate is jealous of my M8 and would get one if the screen size matched (he's older and has a difficult time reading smaller text)

I owned the G2 as well. Honestly, i had no complaints other than the build quality. I just purchased the HTC One a couple days ago simply for a change of pace...... and I'm not disappointed. Other than the practically bezel-less display of the G2, the HTC One is perfect.
Some may argue that the camera is inferior than that of the G2's, It more then gets the job done. Fact is, it's a great device inside and out with build quality second to none.

Yea at times I miss my G2 and it's development plus the size. If I got the M8 I would have to carry the phone naked since a case would defeat the feel of the phone. That's kind of risky after a some pbr's though. lol

Considering T-Mobile's HTC One is compatible with both AT&T's and the International version, development is plentiful and will continue to grow. I also can't bring myself to put a case on this device, but I am mindful that just one drop will ruin the entire experience of owning such a well designed device. For that reason alone, I hold it with both hands when in use. Lol

Hey sweets55, just picked up a m8 yesterday, so far I'm loving it.
I can't say for sure, but from my usage on the phone, the batteries of the flex and m8 are not comparable so far. I do like the screen size better. The one thing that made the flex superior to the m8 was the option to change the button layout on the navigation bar.

I came from Nexus and I absolutely love both phones. I like the m8 just a tad bit more. Camera is good but I feel can be better. I really feel HTC made the best phone to date. It's just over all balanced, well crafted and the software both sense and GPE is buttery smooth. I favor GPE much more

Coming from the TMO G2, I have to say that I love this device. Build quality is truly mazing and the way it just feels in your hand just screams flagship. The battery is lasting me the same as the G2 doing exactly the same things. Picture quality honestly is really good for me( I am not the one to be taking pictures all day long). The M8's display seems a little bit sharper to me.
the things I miss from the G2 are the pop up windows for mms and calls. I also miss the stock UI's customization.
Over all I am extremely happy that I gave HTC another chance. I have had the M8 exactly one week today and it is THE ONLY PHONE I HAVE not ROOTED out of the box.

Thinking of getting one as well, but really love the pop window for mms as well. That and just can't see the m8 battery holding up like the Flex. I do feel that I want a better screen and size is becoming an issue.
Might just hold out for a G3. Really digging LG's software.

I had my Flex sold for 20 more then what my asking price but got cold feet and couldn't pull the trigger on the M8. I just prefer a bigger phone then the M8. Going to wait for the G3 and or Z2 as well.

I have been rocking monster phones for awhile now. Dell Streak, Note 2 and now this. Sometimes I miss the smaller size for pocketbility and just doing general things. It's hard to use one hand with this device, even moving the navigation buttons.
Besides that and the older screen technology, it's an awesome phone!

The Flex doesn't seem as big as other phones like the Note 2. I'm thinking the G3 will be the perfect size.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

The flex is a horrible phone. Over priced.
I owned it one day before marching it back. It had major ghosting issues, and is way too big. The curve is cool, and some of the software on it. I have a M8 now. My next purchase will b the LG og pro 2. Now that phone looks dope. Hoping someone in the states will get it.

LoL...^ I got $200 off my Flex and 6 months free of Netflix so I got a great deal on my Flex. I don't see how anyone can give a honest opinion on any phone after only 1 day using it. Just saying...No ghosting issues here but I keep my brightness always maxed and screen set to vivid. I can still make it 24hrs on one charge with heavy use. Never been able to do that before and my phone history is way to long to list. Lol. I have big hands so that might be why the Flex doesn't seem to big and the M8 feels small. Also I had the M7 and maybe the M8 isn't enough of a change for me. I like the Flex because it's different. It's kind of funny when people ask if I bent my phone.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

Its extremely easy to judge a phone with a screen as bad as the Flex has in a single day. It hurt my eyes right off the bat. I don't know how my roommate tolerates it at all. Then again he rarely looks at it, he's not a power user like me. That and the horrendous voice quality was enough to seal my hatred for it on day 1
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I disagree. Horrendous Flex voice quality and hurting your eyes those are new ones. LoL. You need at least 3 full days to a week to review any phone. Imo. It's funny how some people rush to judgement and don't give the phone a chance. I've read Flex reviews and they mention nothing about the battery life. That right there tells me they didn't use the phone for a day. The Flex battery life is one of best out today and the 720p screen helps that. I would rather have 720p screen with a large screen + power all time then a 1080p smaller screen and having to charge. If you set a 720p screen next to 1080p screen most peoole wouldn't know the difference. Heck I can't even tell that much and I'm picky as hell (most on here are). Some people are just spec happy. Like some people don't like that the M8 only has a 4mp camera and or the quality of pictures.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

I agree with Sweet. It's hard to judge a phone after a couple days. It took me a good week to be content. You get used to the screen. Yeah it is 720 and not 1080, however it's not as bad as some people make it out to be. Some people just have to have the latest and greatest.
I can't agree on the size though. This is a huge phone. Much bigger than the N2. The Curve is a niche thing and hardly notice it anymore. It's cool at 1st, but quickly goes away.
What saves this phone, is its amazing battery life. I can stream Netflix a few hours a day and or teather it to my N7 and still get 15 hours off it with close to 7 hours on-screen time. That's incredible to me and haven't run across a phone that can compete.
Also standby time is unbelievable! 1% in 8 hours is like... WOW
Its just the size for me. Can careless IMO about the phone being spec'd out to the max.
Also call quality has been the best of any phone I have had. Not sure where people are having that issue.

How the hell can you give an honest opinion about a phone after only one day of use? I bought the Flex for two reasons. The first reason was the battery, I had a nexus 4 prior to getting the flex and the battery was horrendous. The second reason I bought the flex was because of the large screen and 6 months of Netflix that came with it.
Sure, the flex has its flaws, but what phone doesn't? I'll admit that at first I hated the flex because of two reasons. The first being the button layout for the volume and power buttons, that took a little time to get used to, but it eventually grew on me. Another reason that I didn't like the flex was because it was on 4.2 and T-Mobile is taking there sweet time to release it.
Saying a 720p screen hurts your eyes is a little much, don't you think so? I guess it was impossible for you to use a cellphone until the oppo find 5 came out (I think that it was the first phone to have a 1080p screen). Yeah it's extremely easy to judge the flex (or any phone for that matter) from one day of use. I swear, just about everyone is a spec whore. Bad voice quality? I think that the voice quality was a plus for a flex, it wasn't perfect, but it was better than the voice quality on most of the phones I've owned.
I've owned my m8 for a couple of days now and it definitely has its flaws, but instead of bashing it after only owning it for a couple days, I'm going to use it for a couple of weeks and give an HONEST opinion. But one thing that I can say for sure is that the navigation bar button layout just sucks, I've given it a chance on other phones, but I just hate not having a designated menu button.
@sweets55 I know, every time I pulled my flex out, people would ask me if I bent my phone or if I bought it that way lol.

Yea I didn't care for the M8 nav bar as well. I like my back button on the right. I use G2 Xposed to shrink the nav bar on my Flex. Not sure if you can do that with the M8. On screen nav bars take up screen space. I kind of miss Samsung phones since they don't take up screen space and a physical home button. I might get the G3 and then Note 4. LoL

The one thing I think Samsung did best was the layout of the buttons on the phone (menu, home and back). You can shrink the nav bar on the m8 with Xposed, but it gives you a huge back button (unless the height of the nav bar is changed to 40 and below). The S3 was my last Samsung phone and i'm not going back. Too many pointless features and way too much bloat. I really wish that HTC would add the option to change the buttons on the nav bar or let the users choose a certain button layout like LG did with their phones.
