Q. Due for an upgrade and these two phones have caught my attention. The reasons why I would like the htc are that it has a nice design, great sound quality, incredible speed and response (from what I've seen in the videos), and 32gb for the same price as a 16gb sgs4. Blinkfeed may be a pro or con cause I may enjoy it, but now it's steering me away. I would choose samsung because of the small tweaks it includes (like battery percentage and quick controls in notification bar), a larger screen while being the same height as the s3, removable battery and an sd card slot,and being knowing what samsungs interface is like (really enjoy my s2). Design and build quality really doesn't matter as ill probably have a case anyways. Or I could get an iPhone like most of my friends and peers and enjoy the free iMessage haha. (Probably wont get iPhone, but iMessage is a bit tempting and so are the apps quality)
A. Sorry if this is long but it's to show in clear detail why to get S4
I would get the Samsung Galaxy S4 because
1.It is quicker- 1.9ghz quad core vs 1.7ghz quad core
2.Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb S4 and still have more storage than the HTC One(64gb) if you get a 64gb microsd.
3.Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the HTC One which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an akward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.
4. Repairability- iFixit gave HTC One the worst rating for repairability and S4 does not have the problems the HTC One has (https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQqQIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fibnlive.in.com%2Fnews%2Fhtc-one-scores-1-out-of-10-for-repairability-after-teardown%2F382264-11.html&ei=4B5fUfGMK46BhAe2-4HgCQ&usg=AFQjCNFFmFehC4KzSZI1YUuOVHA1YZ2Ong&sig2=JNimZy7FL937Y6OkKGcTtQ&bvm=bv.44770516,d.ZG4)
5. Screen- It is amazing and bigger than the screen on the HTC One (yes this is an advantage). Yes it has less ppi (440ppi S4 vs 468ppi HTC One) reviewers say that the difference in ppi is unnoticeable but you can see the difference in colours as the amoled display is has amazing colours. The big screen is also an advantage as it as you can do so much more with it, multitask for example. Also I can fit the Note 2 in one hand with medium hands and actually use it so in my opinion one hand use should not be an issue as the Note 2 is half an inch bigger.
6. Real Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother, this cannot be done on the HTC One.
7.Samsung added features
a.Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.
b.Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back
c.Eye controlled webpage scrolling
d.Airview- check link to learn more http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4-display-Air-View-and-Air-Gesture-demoed-on-video_id40881
e.Infrared TV remote
f.External temperature and humidity sensors
g.Use the phone while using gloves
h.S Health- useful for health enthusiasts
i.S Translator- itâs all in the name a translator
j.Etc- I could go on but check the link to see even more features http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-10-exclusive-or-little-known-features-review_id41541
8.Camera features- First of all reviewers say the only place that the HTC One beats S4 camera wise is in low light without flash, the rest are about the same(actually the S4 photos have more detail and are clearer according to CNET) except in video where the S4 wins. So in my opinion the cameraâs are very similar so itâs more about features in the end, S4 wins here
a. Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo
b. Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo
c. Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content
d. More but those are the be
Hope this helped
Enjoy your new phone no matter which one it is

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 sticky volume keys fix?
Q. have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 not that the name matters that much but anyways The volume keys keep getting stuck and its really annoying. They are really stiff and hard to press so i was wondering if there's an easy fix for this. I cant take it in to Samsung Because i rooted (like jailbreaking but for androids).
Thanks for the help if i get any.
A. You could try getting 100% alcohol from a drug store, the type you would use to sanitize a wound, and apply they lightly with a Q-tip around the keys. Hopefully it will pull whatever sticky mess got in there and is preventing it from working properly.
It could also simply be broken no longer springing back, I hope that is not the case as there is no easy fix.
If it is rooted it is extremely easy to put it back to factory settings if you do need to send it in for repair. XDA-developers.com will have a forum and the solutions you need to put it back in factory settings.
