[HTC One X] fruit-full:
I am in two minds about this phone at the moment. Most of the reviews give it a good overall score and say it's a smoking hot phone, but I come here and it's riddled with bugs, glitches, lagging issues etc.

I only tested mine for a few hours until a dead pixel appeared on the screen and I had to sent it back, up until then I found it a really good phone. The battery life was shocking, but that was from a power charge and I did not have it turned off, was playing with it a few times while on charge. After a few cycles it should settle down. I can remember my Desire took a while until I was getting decent battery life.

I am collecting my brand new replacement handset today. I am unsure whether to just say no thanks and cancel my contract within the 7 day grace period or carry on and keep my fingers crossed!?

I really liked the phone when I first got it, but if this is the sign of things to come then I could and should wait for the S3.

I am wrong in my thinking?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
hahaha

so you liked it and yet you listen to the moaning

you do realize newbies unwilling to root and the ones with problems are the most who lurk in this forum

and the weirdest thing we hear so much complaints about bugs and problems yet equally a lot say they have no issues what so ever

all android batteries need a while to reach a good state

android needs to settle and cache your stuff, battery need to get calibrated, also with root tricks you can double your battery life

as for things to come, need i remind you how many official updates your Desire had? the massive jump after the froyo update? the same applies to the massive jump to Sense3+GB on Desire HD and the massive jump of sense 3.6+ICS on sensation

and finally Android is never bug free
[HTC One X] fruit-full:
I understand everything you are saying. I absolutely love my Desire still to this day, it was buggy when I first bought it and the battery life did suck, but I stuck through and it turned out to be an amazing phone, mainly because of root capabilities and custom ROMs, more with the root and ROMs then official HTC updates etc.

I had my One X for one day it developed a hardware problem, not a minor software problem, I can deal with the software problems, it is android as you say and I love android for being open source but acceptable with the bugs. There is a thread on here were a guy is on his fifth handset, not his second, his fifth! He sounds fine about being on his fifth handset, but I know I definitely would not be!

I will be tied into a 24 month contract and if this is going to be the case with hardware problems then this is not acceptable in my books.

Update 1 in Red

Based on almost a weeks use, I still highly recommend the phone. Everyone who has seen it so far loves it. Normal comment of wow that's big, then they feel it and say that its quality :) And yes I am talking about the phone :p

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I highly recommend Alarm Clock Plus * from the App market. Absolutely brilliant alarm with more settings than you can imagine (including one which shows you a clock on the display)

Not 100% sure on the lock screen apps. Not that I am aware of though.
[HTC One X] ambrose7:
Thanks mate, ill give it a go, great review btw.

Can anyone recommend and Tegra 3 games to try so i can see the gfx performance, preferably with a free demo?
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
download the Tegrazone app. A must for our devices!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you made me excited again, i can't wait for Saturday
[HTC One X] ambrose7:
Woah GTA III, might have to get that!
[HTC One X] umd:
Good news. Gsm Arena released their One X review:

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x-review-747.php
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok gsmarean actually took there time with this review so tell me now? this is a broken product?
[HTC One X] umd:
It's or not. I don't care anymore. I searched enough and really liked the phone. My biggest concern was Tegra 3 but it seems people don't have stupid problems with it like Tegra 2. I'm gonna get one at my earliest convenience which is few days away.

Edit: Looks like 1.28 will solve video recording issues. The sample at Gsm Arena reviews is @30 FPS.
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
To tell you the truth I am not worried about ONE X being broken but I am worried how much more can Samsung improve S3 because ONE X is just what any android user asks for :). In my opinion of course :D
[HTC One X] Goku80:
what you are getting now with your One X is the best media experience probably on any android handset at the moment. S3 will be all about specs. but when it comes to user experience i am pretty sure our beast of a phone will blow it out the window..and this is coming from a galaxy s2 user
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
We can never get in of in my opinion because is in our nature that once we try something there is something on the market which is better and we will try to get the best most of the time. I am saying that HTC has come very very close to bring out the best media device in general. Sure other company's will come out with something slightly better but hey we I cant just change an expensive phone because a new processor might be a little faster or the company will come out with something new added to a device. In my opinion this is a device that will do everything well and will not be outdated very easy but that might be just my taste :D
[HTC One X] Goku80:
hehe so true buddy so true what you are saying:D to be honest i was more than happy to wait till the summer with my gorgeous s2. but they gave me an offer i could not refuse hence why i got the one x...now i am getting a replacement and this time i went for the grey instead of the white...white one was getting to dirty to easy...anyways i will be keeping a close eye on the s3 when that comes out...but i am more than likely to stick with the One X as am looking forward to the development in the coming weeks and months so it will be a watch this space thing
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
All we are missing now is support from HTC with their updates :)
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Riptide GP THD

It's only 2 pounds and it's a great game. Make sure you download the Tegra version though.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
One X = polycarbonade

sgs3 = cheap plastic

alone this difference is HUGE for me
[HTC One X] kentchuan:
Gsmarena said the sound quality of one x is average n lost to his brother one s. But I don't find anything wrong with my one x. it is better than my iPad 2. How about your opinion?
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
just want to share my humble thoughts here

http://reviews.yellowchilli.net/2012/04/htc-one-x-review-real-hero-to-lead-quad.html
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
now after two days with it, i can tell you, the HOX is almost the perfect phone.

only one single point: battery life. i charged it yesterday before i shut it down over night.

now its up for almost 3h, and i'm already at 80%! and i didn't even play much with it. :/

i just sent some sms, thats all..

ppl can say what they want. yes, maybe the other phones do eat battery like that too, but there you can replace the battery!

i'm going crazy right now. such an amazing phone.. the best in my opinion, flawed by the non-removable battery.

it's just sad, and i don't think any OTA will be able to fix this..
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
give it time... let the battery settle :)
[HTC One X] ambrose7:
Im not sure about the battery, i had it on from 8am to 10pm last night and was only down to 40% i used it a fair bit to, twitter, pics, test some tegra 3 games, downloadings from market. Much better life than my DHD
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
yea, i give it a week or two.. let's see if it gets better. i definitely hope so
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
Most of the people are having good battery time but have look in the forum for battery stats thread because they might be some ways that people are trying what could improve the battery
[HTC One X] hesian:
One X is great, but how can you comment on the SGS3 when it doesn't exist yet?
[HTC One X] Born Twitchy:
Isn't the SGSIII supposed to have ceramics?

Besides that, I have to admit the plastic of the SGSII still looks great after a year of use and doesn't feel cheap at all imo.

Ontopic:

I have my 2nd HOX now after I experienced loads of bugs and a yellow spot that wouldn't go away on my first device. This one is A LOT better then the previous one!

Seems to have less sense related bugs and feels smoother. As if my 1st one had less RAM available compared to my current One.

Looks like there is a fairly big difference per device and this may explain why some reviewers complain more then others about small points.

I was slightly disappointed in the 1st I had but very happy with my 2nd!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes nice but stilll very worrying, many people will end up with f@#$$@$ devices and thinking this is as good as it gets :mad:

depressingly ugly

http://www.gsmarena.com/is_this_a_live_photo_of_samsung_galaxy_s_iii-news-4089.php
[HTC One X] :
How many renders do you need of the supposedly-rumoured SGS3? You could easily find 4/5 different "leaks" with a simple Google search.

Samsung doesn't need to worry too much. They are the only company which makes money from all other vendors -- including Apple, HTC, Moto, Nokia etc., Whenever SGS3 is revealed, we can then judge.

Why should you worry about what other people buy? It's their life, let them decide what they need to do with their money.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i started by being upset from the One X situation and then i posted a new leak about the SGS3 because someone just mentioned...you think i wouldn't consider the SGS3 myself if it's nice? :confused:
[HTC One X] fcng:
Good review

yellowchilli,

Good review. :cool: Was your HOX Made in China or Taiwan? Will you update your review in a few weeks with respect to the battery performance and overall use.
[HTC One X] ULAMSS5:
It's a great phone, but the screen is surprisingly scratch-prone. I've been using the phone under great care while i'm waiting for protectors and cases, but it somehow managed to get scratches all over the place.

In contrast, my temporary phone that i treated like s**t(Galaxy Ace) never got any scratches on the screen, without a protector at all.

HTC is going to be charging me for repairs too, rather unhappy about this.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
grey?
[HTC One X] ULAMSS5:
Yup, grey. I'm sorry I wasn't being specific in my previous post, but I was talking about the screen itself, not the rest of the phone. That part has a nice premium build and feel.

Also, is anyone else having a glitchy youtube app?
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
Thanks for stopping by. Sure thing, long as there is a demand for it :) my contract renewal on the 26th will give me unlimited data so ill be able to do tests with the 3g radio on all day, much like how everyone expects these phones are to be used these days.

Ill check where its made later today when i can get to the box.
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
purchased in HK, made in China
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
There is a scratch test here in the forum and from what I have seen there was no scratches at all in the screen and the body.
[HTC One X] liehuo:
Hi. I am about to purchase the HTC one X. Just wondering, given its quad core and 1800mah battery, how long can the battery last? I am comparing the battery life of stock rom VS custom rom. Any views? Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] AFX21:
I assume they put a battery in it that does not have problems in that area
[HTC One X] ULAMSS5:
I saw the scratch test too, and I think my phone is an exception here. No idea how it even managed to happen, but I think it might be related to exposure to sandy-objects, which are often far harder than metal, even nearing diamond.

The battery is pretty good, can get through a full day(~12 hours) with 10-20% left of moderate usage on 3G, with occasional gaming like Shadowgun, even before the battery fix patch.
[HTC One X] calvinleeabc:
great phone and super smooth compared to DHD:D
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
I agree the phone is excellent. Do you have the new battery fix patch or the old one :)
[HTC One X] Paulst30:
Not so official, however, my two cents. upgraded from a Desire S with the Endymion 3.4 ROM Sensation XL on it.

Everything about the One X blows anything i've used out the window. It's lag free, super smooth and the clarity of the screen makes anything else look like a toy.

The camera is amazing for being in a phone.

Browsing is made much simpler and faster with Chrome

The stock headphones are quite amazing.

It feels rock solid unlike the plastic feel of the GS2

Volume rocker for me is on the wrong side, as i hit it when i'm waking the phone and turning it off.

The 4x4 screen estate is a waste of space it seems on such a big screen.

The only thing that lets this phone down is the carrier you will go with. I'm on T-Mobile (UK) and the 3G signal is shocking at best. Get it on Wifi and the phone simply comes alive.

The battery life gets better the more you charge it funnily enough and yesterday after 12 hours it still had 56% left.
[HTC One X] fcng:
China and Taiwan

Is there really a quality difference between the Taiwan and China made HOX?
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
that, i don't know...

i wish i knew too as i now have a teeny tiny scratch on my display and it's been kept in a pocket with nothing else at all times. hmmm
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Nobody outside of HTC (and maybe a handful of their largest retailers / partners) know the answer to that question. Anybody who claims to is making it up.
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
we could find out? mine's from taiwan. and the only problem i have is the backlight flicker in some situations.
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
no flicker here. where do you see this?

any unexpected scratches on the glass?
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
nope, the glass seems to be perfect till now

best example where i get flicker are some of the images in the "camera shots" folder.

just go there in the gallery and look at the standard images from htc. for example the purple/violett one, there i think i get the most flicker

or the second last one, the one with the snow plains, it flickers like crazy around the sun there, the backlight is like flashing, giving the eyes a hard time..

i can live with that, but i can't look into this for more than a few secs xD
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok this is forth day now and i just double checked the snow image like u said on all brightness settings nothing thankfully, did you try Display tester?
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
then you are probably lucky :)

no, i didn't try any display tester, would this fix something?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
so u can make sure u have a display problem
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Mine appeared on the 8th day but only briefly, it's gone again now ;)
[HTC One X] fcng:
Did you check out Appledaily...

yellowchilli,

Did you check my thread on the appledaily news clip on the HTC bugs for Hong Kong HOX.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1607197
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
just watched..thanks for sharing.

fortunately i myself have no hardware issues...like that yellowing display there.

and i've not yet encountered any graphical glitches in v1.28 from having used it for one day.
[HTC One X] fcng:
Update already for HK

yellowchilli,

You got the OTA update already (v1.28)? A short review after the update would be great.

Thanks.
[HTC One X] yellowchilli:
nah it's not the official one- hk will probably take time.

i have however updated my review with some battery findings. this was done while the phone was still running stock. feel free for a revisit.

quite impressive actually- i believe it can do 20+ hours on wifi only and typical usage scenarios. anyone got better numbers?

http://reviews.yellowchilli.net/2012/04/htc-one-x-review-real-hero-to-lead-quad.html
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nice of them, Techradar update their review! however its not all sunny check this out

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-one-x-1069319/review/page:13#articleContent
[HTC One X] fcng:
Great..

yellowchili,

I revisited your site again. The update was short but helped the community. I noticed you didn't make any calls as witnessed from your screen shots? I think you should classify your use as "light" rather than typical. I think if you had 30mins to 1 hour of talk time than you would be down to 14-15 hours. It's still good as it would last one from morning till after work and maybe till night time just before sleep.
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
Apple been using 16GB iPhone for ages and people still bought them so storage its not as bad as they make it. Although people at the battery stats thread are getting good screen on times and 13-15 hours + battery we shouldn't forget that is only 8.9 mm thin too :). They are being a bit too harsh in my opinion that is.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I still hesitate a little bit...there are just too many glitches and build issues right now. I wouldn't care about software glitches, but I'm not too sure whether the flickering issues are really software bugs or not. To me, a hardware problem seems more likely, as a reset often does not fix the problem. Or I simply don't know and we have no response from HTC...
[HTC One X] evohog:
Got mine from daily steals yesterday and love it. Havent noticed any issues and as soon as I powered on and set up I get the update notification,1.28. Man this is nice. First phone I haven't immediately rooted. Only gripe is daily steals, paid 650 on Tuesday and they dropped the price to 630 on Wednesday,oh well I'm happy as could be .

Got my HOX in the mail 2 days ago from Expansys USA. Taiwan build, quality and durability is fantastic (no issues). Right out of the box I rooted it with ARHD: phone runs ridiculously smooth.

People who are being turned off by this phone from people posting issues are seriously missing out because I haven't experienced any of this. The looks, feel of the polycarbonate and smooth beveled glass is insane too; love everything about this phone. 5/5

[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Unfortunately, Anandtech has yet to receive a review unit from HTC and hence have not reviewed the HOX yet ): Posted on Twitter on 12th April~
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
I love my HTC One X, its amazing

BUT!!

And a big BUT.

The screen flicker is very annoying on grey backgrounds and when viewing pictures

And it can not even complete the ANTUTU TESTER battery test as it overheats and the app says it has got too hot!!! almost 50 Celsius

If they can just fix the flicker though I will be happy enough

But besides that, its fast, sexy, and the resolution is amazing.
[HTC One X] fcng:
HTC is up to something...

ArmedandDangerous,

I think HTC maybe updating a firmware for reviews for the next batch of reviewers. Could they fix the bugs and the battery performance? ;)

Cross our fingers....
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
The review units that have been sent out in the first wave of reviews were already on the 1.28 update way before it was released on OTA. I've seen at least 2 reviews that said that mid-test they received an update to 1.28
[HTC One X] ikitub:
is it ok to buy now? kinda worried because of the issues some users were experiencing.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
The only reviews I saw had 1.27. And they weren't sent out on 1.28 update, as you said, the (not yet public) update came after around a week (~1 week before NDA lift)
[HTC One X] vasudevan84:
i dont know the source of this piece of info but Thinkdigit.com[/URL] says HTC started rolling out 1.28 in India..

sorry cant post the link as i haven't finished 8 posts on XDA... :(
[HTC One X] skhekare:
very good handset

I liked the handset but it heats up very often on gameplay and even long talks.

Your lucky I'm getting my 4th and 5th handsets tomorrow due to constant problems
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
Got my 2nd handset today (first one had random reboots even after factory reset). Looks much better. Came through the day pretty easily with relatively heavy usage (first charge). Some Sense crashes, but that's it (and I have NOT yet updated to 1.28, as it isn't available for my (damn) branded phone - the crashes should be fixed with 1.28).

I hope for the best!
[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Only just got my device today so cant give a real review. But first impressions are great super fast phone and games are a pleasure to play.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
Going from HTC Desire to HTC One X is like going from 5400rpm HDD to SSD on a laptop. Simple as that. :D
[HTC One X] alazarus:
Used the phone normally for 2 weeks and then hardware started failing... I'm glad I didn't put in a custom rom otherwise I would have had issues with warranty. There are quite a few people on different forums saying the panasonic sensors used on the phone are inferior. So far it's mostly seen in the taiwan models (ala white ones).

I'm one of the milder cases - others are on their 3rd or 4th phone. HTC = Crap quality. I'm going to switch back to IPhone 5 in October.
[HTC One X] PoopTossnApe:
I have had my HOX for a week now. I HATE IT! I'm no fan of apple, but I wish I would have bought another iphone instead.

It now has 3 scratches on the camera lens, one is really big, fortunately It is not over a part which is visible on the photo.

..... no I just feel to empty to continue with all the faults.

Just sad that the iphone is so fragile, and has a to small screen, or I would probably have gotten it.
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
iPhone iPhone :confused: Wait for GS3! iPhone sucks
[HTC One X] siaosi:
Only issue I have is the battery overheating. Especially when charging and playing games at the same time, it only lasts 20' before it gets hot.
