Suggestions for my Desire replacemet phone

So, for almost a year now, I have HTC Desire and for about 6 months run Desire HD rom on it...
Just wondering what will be the best replacement to it in upcoming summer.
From what I saw, nothing really worth to replace for but was I wrong ?
And it need to be GSM... any suggestions will be great.
Thanks

I think Desire S is a good option

Sensation is worth it desire s is basically the desire with software we've ported and is as fast on data++

I would wait for one of the new dual core phones. Sounds like there are going to be some badass ones coming out in the last half of 2011.

for me:
dual core,
tegra or better
4.3" or bigger screen (desire is too small for me)
the important ones:
must be rootable and have community support like the desire. can't rely on carriers/manuf to upgrade phone

wait for sensation or evo 3d gsm
these are the future because desire/incredible S
came out at a wrong time they won't be upgradeable to sense 3.0 unless by ports thus, their updates will be very limited like our official gingerbread update we're still on sense 1.9 :'(
but i'm running an S rom
and i know these will be my replacement phones

HTC sensation or Evo 3d fits your bill perfectly

Definetely going for the Sensation!

I will get SGS2. I think Samsung did better job than HTC this year - better hardware in a smaller package.

Thank you all. I think too that desire S is not a proper replacement because it didn't really bring any upgrades so I wait a little bit more.
Not interested in other manufactures since I really like htc.

in november? i'd imagine that there would be something better out by then.
1080p recording would be decent too and i kinda like the way LG is going

The HTC rep gave me a seek preview of the sensation yesterday at the gadget show and it is sensational, it was a pre release and had an lcd screen instead of the super LED that will be fitted, it also had some pre release software but was super quick with the dual core.
That is my next phone after the desire

I'd get the HTC Sensation or a variant of it. Once it comes out, it will be the only real upgrade from HTC that we know of, all other phones are kind of on the same level.
That of course, if you want to stay with HTC.

After I saw it's specs, it is lead replacement for me for now.

Same here! My new phone MUST have at least these features

I'd go for the Sensation if i had to, but actually i think i'll wait till the first 2ghz dual-core hits the floor

Why on earth would you want to replace a perfect phone?!

I really wanted to get an Incredible S its a nice size and a nice looking device. But it like the Desire S seems to have lost the HTC DNA with the bootloader now being signed and it being hard to crack. Its out for 2 months and still not rooted. Desire is still better than these devices IMO. Same might be story for sensation

[Q] HTC One ASOP

http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/30/4379796/htc-one-google-edition-announced-stock-android
with the HTC One getting AOSP, could this mean can get a port across with camera etc? Or are the devices too dissimilar?
Also would anyone want AOSP out of the box?

The sense camera won't be implemented in the google edition obviously.......
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If HTC willing to open sources the camera driver for Google, it is possible for the One aosp camera to make use the benefit of the imagechip2. However, you still can't get the Zoe to work except Google implements it into One aosp camera with HTC permission.
I think the possibility of the above to happen will very low.... lol... yes, it is not that very make sense to get a senseless HTC One. Only S4 needs to sell Nexus ver this time, not HTC One.
But I guess the software focus on Qualcomm S4 600 should be improved, it might be okay for the HTC One aosp camera for normal use. I don't know, I don't have a HTC One.

yea certain rumours have confirmed that it WONT come with Zoe

It will still difficult to implement if HTC gives out permission because sense camera will need to access the framework from sense rom. There is no sense framework in aosp therefore Zoe won't work in the camera.apk even though HTC releases the imagechip2 driver for Google. Google will need to make his own aosp ver of Zoe start from scratch, so the possibility is almost zero at the moment.
However, I beat Samsung, Sony, LG will implement similar function in the next generation flagship. At that time, when this feature become one of smartphone standard, Google will make it in Nexus.

HTC One and HTC One V aren't anywhere close in hardware similarities (that I know of) so I doubt the camera in 4.2 could become of a working state with it.

No Sense 5.5 for One X

Well this is it
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4

hehe... i still have the feeling that Sense 5 was the last big update...but i say its ok...i dont think that nowdays...(i mean in the rush time we live..if i can say that so) its a good idea to make over and over updates for old phones so that you dont need to buy a new phone...i can understand that a little bit...2 years are ok..and a must...i dont want a big discussion about this..for this there are enough threads..but thats my thinking and i hope i dont make me enemies

So much for this being 'flagship'. HTC really don't care about their customers once they have a new bun in the oven.

The One X was the 2012 flagship, it's almost 2014 HTC has gone beyond and above with support for the One X.

I suppose so.

I guess the only option would be cm11

I tend to disagree. Only year and a half is passed after HOX release and less than a year of hox+ release. It's not right to not update the previous generation. Atleast 2 years is a must. We can bash samsung all that we want, but they support their top models far better than htc, sadly as htc is far better phone builder. I hope when lenovo buy htc there will be new "hardcore boner" phones. Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

I don't get it, if you want to be 'up to date' you should buy a new phone every two years. I think HTC did an amazing job with 4.2.2 sense 5. I do not expect more of them. It's not all about you and me in this world. I rather like HTC to work on new stuff then giving ten years of support to 'old' devices.
And be honest, this latest update with the hardware of the one x will run for a long time, it's not that our device becomes useless because of no updates.

I will just say that if you bought a hox+ (released november 2012) you would need to buy a new phone in less then a year if you wanted to be on the latest... btw latest for htc and sammy means one version behind
In the case of the hox... They supported it for a year and a half.
our devices were never on the latest android version. I dont call it an update if you are one or two versions behind. Sammy is the same but i hate them even more for that because they have the resources to update it in a reasonable timeframe. But they dont.

it's really disappointing

I don't care that much about Sense 5.5 , because most of the features that are in it, we already have with Sense 5.0 for our One X (except for the camera features, we'll never get those). But I do care about the 4.3 update and I hope we get it. According to previous leek - we will get 4.3 with Sense 5.0.

I think this is the end for the hox and the hox+. Because if they make the effort to update it to 4.3 sense 5.5 would come with it. Thats my thinking
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4

If you want latest updates buy a Nexus device. If you want sense you know you won't get updates after 1 or 1,5 year. It's nothing new. You knew it the moment you bought the One X.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Well, if you guys actually read the changelog, 70% of the Sense 5.5 features are basically our own Sense 5.0 features. The reason for this is that most One's in the US were stuck on 4.1.2 while we were getting our 4.2.2 update. So to avoid wasting time, HTC announced they'd skip 4.2.2 for the One and jump straight to 4.3. So most of the things in 4.3 Sense 5.5 is basically from out own Sense 5.0, it's just finally making it to devices which were deprived from 4.2.2 unlike us.
As for 4.3 for the One X, I really don't mind if we don't get it. I like Sense 5. I'm not the kinda guy who NEEDS the bleeding edge of OS updates. I'm just the average Joe who just needs something nice to use. 4.2.2 is good one the One X and I don't mind it staying on it till I replace it in the future. Even if I get tired, there's always aftermarket ROMs so the options are not limited. I know I can't speak for everyone because I have a Nexus 7 which is always up-to-date but believe me when I say there are more days then not when I actually prefer using my 4.2.2 Sense 5 over the 4.3 in my N7
All I can say is just enjoy your phones. Compared to TW updates or Sony updates which sometimes f*ck your old devices up, HTC actually didn't with our update besides, what's in 4.3 that we NEED that badly in our phones ? The only thing I see actually worth the update is Bluetooth 4.0 support and even that's not really for me but more for the One X owners who threw a hissy fit about Sense not supporting it and felt scammed.

If I'm honest I'm perfectly happy with my hox. It's not been the flagship for a good while but update still happened and many facets from future updates will likely be brought to hox on xda once enough time passes and people feel like it.
Don't expect but couldn't ask for more

Well, if samsung S3 will get it (same specifics) like HOX why we do not get 4.3?
BUT if they dont care for costumers we have our way to punish bad costumer care brands.

Well... The only thing that I really want from sense 5.5 is the RSS support for blinkfeed - it will make it alot more usable for me, right now I dont use it because feedly is much better for my RSS subscriptions. Furthermore, the only thing that I want from 4.3 is the trim feature, but I have root and I use the trim app..so maybe it's not a must.
Anyway next phone for me is nexus, even though sense is just better than any other UI in the market IMHO.

[Q] Android "L" - How it will works on HTCD

Hello Guys.
I'm from Brazil.. so, sorry for my english.
So, i have many doughts about the "Android L".
It's possible the new android works on my HTC Desire better than the KitKat 4.4.4 ?
All works well, like Camera, Video and fast rom ? Because the new android is very very "Slim"
I open the discussion.
Let's go!

If somebody tried to port L to Desire and was determined enough, it would work better. Many things depend on drivers, and they aren't updated for our Desire.

Agree, HTC Desire is not some new High End phone and only few devs are using it. Driver port is not something easy to do so Desire with pretty much everything newer than Gingerbread sucks. And Android is now much much heavier these days(we can even say that Android 4 is 3 times heavier than GB).

Yes, but isn't newer versions of Android tries to be compatible with low-end devices? (like our Desire)

Htc One m8 or oneplus One ?

Hey guys, i own an htc One m8 from verizon. One guy offered me an One plus One with a case, the earphone and some extra things.. Should i trade or keep ? Is the oneplus One better than the m8?
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

Definitely keep the M8.
I have been using the Oneplus since July and it's not as great as it sound. It's a good phone with all the good specs and price, but the touchscreen problem is horrible. And customer service is just as bad. They made a new thread about the issue, but where is the solution? I bought a M8 recently and it feels like it's from another world. Things I've noticed between the two are: touchscreen is MUCH more responsive., camera has faster focus and takes faster pics, Whatsapp voice message sounds like you are underwater in OPO, audio is way better with M8. I'm a fan of vanilla rom, but I actually really like sense after using it. I would suggest you test out the OPO and check for touchscreen issue if you're planning to get it

Go with OnePlus One!
Definitely BEST budget phone in the market( for now)
And Cyanogen is plus point. Compared to m8 the screen size is 5.5' and build quality,viewing angles are great!3Gb ram and Battery backup is excellent .Camera Quality is above average!
Go with OnePlus One Dude.Hurry

It's up to you. I would keep the M8 as it is a lot more premium looking phone with very good build quality and of course it is worth more!
