[QUOTE=Kaabii;40487720]Notifications too. Holy fuck the toast notifications bugged me on my Focus. Especially when for some reason an app wouldn't be pushing messages so at some point I'd get fifty banners that I'd have to swipe away one by one, with a delay between each being displayed.

Try scrolling through settings or the launcher without taking your finger off the display. It makes an HTC Wildfire feel like an iPhone 5 in comparison. I dunno what it is, but Microsoft's method for touch input is behind even Android when it comes to trying to animate and do touch input at the same time.[/QUOTE]
I have loads of fun with the swipe bug - it doesn't impede interaction in any way, but when you do it on purpose it can create some pretty funny result.
But yeah, WP needs a notifications center of some kind.

I'm running CM10.1 (Nightly from 29th/30th April) on my Galaxy S2 with no problem and it's 4.2.2.
Had literally no issues whatsoever.
Friend got s3, told him what he needs to know. All he's going to use the phone is for phone calls, but then again he's in my comp sci class so android programming next year.

My new favorite general phone case/music player case is the Speck Candyshell
It's so sexy, but the only unsexy thing is the price
Should I cancel my S4 order in order to get a HTC One? I keep reading reviews in which people are disappointed with it, and that the One is better and the more I read, the more I doubt. Lag issues, bloatware, low battery life and all of that stuff.

Depends if you'll miss the removable battery and SD card or not
Well there is currently a promotion with Samsung that if you register your S4 you will get a free 64GB sd-card which is pretty awesome, but I won't make videos and I listen music using spotify. So I don't think I will ever need more then 32GB.
Also, is that blinkfeed really a hassle and/or can it be disabled?
The one is better in every way except for the SD slot and the removable battery. The GPU is worse than the one in the Octa S4 but 3D games are all designed for the SGX543MP2/MP3 so it doesn't matter anyway.

Not sure what it could be, I'll probably format everything and reinstall it later on.
Everybody is going to get the S4, you'd stand out with a One.

You can move it to other home screen pages. You'll probably end up running a custom launcher anyway.
As far as the One vs the S4, people don't like the S4 because it's basically the S3S. Not different enough. It's also full of useless, buggy gimmicks you'll have to turn off as soon as you open the box. The octa-core processor only runs 4 cores at a time, so it's basically an alternating quad-core next to an alternating quad-core so that Samsung could tick the "M04R C0R35" box. People like the One because it's different and promises better support from HTC than other HTC phones. Also, no one wants to see HTC go under. It would be hell for the market, especially after they've just released such a quality piece of hardware.
Basically, neither is a bad phone, thay both have their merits. Just pull up the GSM arena pages and a few reviews for both and decide based on that. I would personally take the One, but I also hate plastic and slimy feeling phones.
"Inspired by Nature" my ass. More like "try not to drop this fucker, I dare you".
[QUOTE=sdwise;40489971]promises better support from HTC than other HTC phones.[/QUOTE]
That's one thing I'll have to see with my own eyes to believe.
The HTC One is really badly repairable compared to the S4, but that's like the only downside when comparing the two.

I was referring to software more than hardware. We'll have to wait for people to break their phones or for units to fail (which some inevitably will) before we know how the hardware support is.
[editline]1st May 2013[/editline]
I say it inevitably will because it's a piece o technology, and there are some faulty units in every line of everything ever.

I.. I fucked that post up. Those two things weren't supposed to look related. Software support was never great even with HTCs flagships.

Also Real Racing 3 is fun when you have all the crazy supercars.
Just finished a Koenigsegg Agera race. Literally felt like this all the time on track:

I agree, but I feel like they stretched their resources too much. A company that's in the red can't support more than a few devices at once. The previous generation is up for an EOL, then all they have to support is the First and the One. Hell, they could probably carry the DNA or give Verizon something else (Verizon [i]will[/i] get something, they're the biggest carrier in the US and HTC needs those sales) and be fine.
[QUOTE=sdwise;40489971]but I also hate plastic and slimy feeling phones.[/QUOTE]
The S2 was nice, but the new glossy plastic Samsung uses for the S3 and S4 is the only reason why I wouldn't buy them if I could.
I like the way my friend's old S2 feels, but after having a RAZR Maxx, I can't go back to plastic and flush screens.
Dear God kevlar... Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

I have a soft spot for quality material on things.
hell yeah, me too. It's amazing. I've dropped it several times, and the chrome paint on the edges is scuffed. That's literally all the damage it has.
(Except for the headphone jack being fucked up, but that's because I work in a very dirty and dusty environment and dirt got in it).
Do you guys know if it's possible to change the font on CyanogenMod 10.1? I miss having Helvetica back when I still used TouchWiz.

I don't know if there is a native way. There is an app on the market which replaces the built-in font. "Font Installer" should do the trick. You just need to get the Helvetica font file.
