                  The main reason why people stop buying HTC phones is the SENSE UI...I know that some people will fire me by saying that it's the best UI..but it's not the case at all (at least for me).
                  After 2 weeks of use of sense UI: it's boring, Ram hungry...Etc
                  I have the sensation XE running AOSP ICS (Raw ICS as on galaxy nexus) and senseless and it's fantastic! like having a different phone with more Ram and faster than before.
                  Other than that, HTC phones are expensive (not every one can buy an expensive smartphone after all, there are people whom need to save money for many months to afford it)
                  And last thing: HTC phones are SO heavy compared to Sony or Samsung.

I keep hearing about HTC's battery problem issues. Maybe this I'd the major reason why people stop buying, other than having high prices?

                        AnonD-36731, 06 Apr 2012The only 4.0" or less phone announced by HTC for 2012 ... moreDon't you people get it?
                        Nor the hardware, or software is the main reason why the sales drop.
                        First of all. The hardware that HTC uses for there devices is top end, compared to any other Smartphone or tablet. HTC Sense is the best UI ever implemented in Android OS. SNS integrations, Widgets, and simplicity of use, and user friendly are the trendmarks of the sense UI. But the problem isn't here!
                        TO win the battle you don't need strength, but Mind, and strategy!
                        Nacin best to make top-selling device is advertising.
                        The way it works is the ultimate apple way.
                        One device per year, 6 months advertising. And extremely good software support with updates. But there's Google. As Androdiot is far from ideal.
                        Since v1, 5 (2009) until v4.0.4 aka Ice cream sandwich, Android is not yet out of the beta!
                        Do not misunderstand me. I'm in love with Android, but Android is not yet ready for everyday use by ordinary users.
                        Conclusion!
                        HTC to begin developing the current ONE series, but do not bother ordinary users, (2 000 000 000) devices each year. But it's a good ad them struck a series of devices from ONE in every pore and every cell of users.

If HTC stopped forcing us to pay our money only for brand, their revenue would be much bigger. Just take a look at Sony Ericsson's smartphones - the popular Neo V costs almost the same as the Wildfire S. 1 Ghz processor (which you can even safely overclock to 1,4 Ghz, just like factory overclocked processor of Arc S!), 720p videos and Mobile Bravia Engine 480x854 3,7" against some shi**y phone, which only pros is its Coring Gorilla Glass. Seems legit.


                            HTC is going to the dogs.

It's the midrange phones that really contribute to revenue; and like a user said before, who can blame the consumers? Midranges like Wildfire were ATROCIOUS.

                                      A good example of HTC messing with the Android UI is the change made to the ICS multitasking apps view. They made it 3D with a horizontal swipe and you actually see far less apps on screen. It probably uses more processing power to achieve too.
