[HTC One X] vinfromuk:
Chrome translated the review for me. Here's the meat of the conclusion:

It's time to take stock, and, unfortunately, in many ways I have to admit that the HTC One X turned out not the way this unit is pictured in person I am. What I wanted to see the new flagship of HTC as a user and fan of the brand? First, the significant improvement of the camera, and such changes are announced by the company. According to the pattern that was in my arms, I can say that the quality of the camera HTC One X not only departed from previous models of the manufacturer, but in some ways even became worse. Secondly, I would like to see a new flagship has become more flexible and open, in the sense that buying a phone for 30,000 rubles, I would have received at the hands of high-quality and highly customizable tool. However, HTC One X is not a trivial slot for memory card, so that the flagship is limited to 25 gigabytes, is used here is still not the most common format microSIM, which also adds a smartphone points. Thirdly, HTC over the summer last year, trained their users to the fact that if the body is smart and Beats Audio is 30,000 rubles, the kit you will find the just-like-quality headphones from the Beats. Here, it is not.

Of course, the smartphone has many strengths, without thinking it is an excellent display, quality plastic and, to my taste, just a gorgeous, fresh design vehicle for the company. In addition, we should not discount the HTC Sense 4.0, although the interface is the company "better" is not quite clear, it still remains the strongest link in the company's products, giving users a convenient box of HTC phones to make calls, e-mail and much more.

With all of the above disadvantages, I must honestly admit that I like HTC One X. First of all, its design (talking about the device in white), second - still comfortable Sense, and the third - the fact that the aggregate of qualities, this little smartphone stands out from the dozens of Android-repetitive clones. Simply put, I see the sparkle in it, there is a sense that it put the soul, and let's turned into such a controversial product. But if we try to answer the question, I would have bought a HTC One X, or wait a Samsung Galaxy S III - the answer is unambiguous, we must wait for the flagship of the Samsung and then draw conclusions. The new flagship of HTC's success with some points of view, but others turned out to be not good enough, this machine feels the potential, but the company failed to disclose to the end. I would like to make it like a fairy tale, HTC have taken into account the problems and errors with the release of One X (no memory card slots, frankly Camera Raw, I do not know what was going on in the module itself, or in software) and then offered to users an updated version of, say, HTC One X2 or something like that. But is it possible in today's world of commerce and endless racing technology?
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
Ouch :-( That doesn't sound too positive..
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Using google translate the conclusion seems to be:

Bad

- Camera is worse than he expected and in his opinion worse than some previous models

- No SDCard slot

- Micro SIM

- No Beats

Good

- Excellent Display

- Quality Plastic

- Gorgeous Fresh Design

- Sense 4.0

He likes the phone but feels HTC just missed the mark slightly. He would need to wait for the SG3 specs before making a decision. He hopes for a HTC One X2 with the bad points fixed.
[HTC One X] RomNoR:
Indeed.

I will really consider if to return this phone or keep it
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
I actually think its quite positive. If you look at the bad points then we have known about 3 of them for a long time. For the camera part we have hamdir who will guide us on how to optimise it from a usage point and then we have a lot of dev's who will hopefully be able to tweak it. Also this is just one persons view.

Also I noticed he stated the battery was ok no better or worse than other android devices and he stated "When watching a video of the charge lasts for 4-6 hours, depending on the quality of the preview clip, and the selected level of brightness." Which seems ok to me.
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
Most of the bads aren't a surprise and therefore not bad to me. But if the camera is bad, then there is really something wrong, since the camera is supposed to be one the biggest selling points. And if it isn't great, I will return the One X that I expect to receive in a few days.

But I really hope it isn't true...
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i don't really think micro sim, no memory slot, and no beats headphones should really be counted so negatively. the camera is another thing, though. i still want one because i already know the quality of Samsung software and source code, which is bad.
[HTC One X] matw01:
i'm hoping for an engadget or techradar review monday, those are my go too sites for mobile phone reviews.
[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
Bought the phone mostly for the camera, hopefully software updates can improve it
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
He also notes that he was on preproduction firmware (which may imply preproduction hardware), and notes that while there was no flex or creak initially, that after a week or so he could move the screen about a millimeter by pressing down in the middle of the left edge, as shown in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj-CYNDfd6c

That's pretty alarming, and I hope limited to being a preproduction quirk.

Oh, and he says that he couldn't register multitouch beyond two fingers in any test app, although he knows that a three-fingered swipe starts the remote video function. Hope implementing that function doesn't prevent three-fingered touch, because I use at least one app that specifically needs three-fingered touch to pan.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

I don't see if he mentions his settings, but his photos are noticeably, significantly less sharp than we've seen from users here.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
Let's not forget that if phones came out the box perfect and problem-free, we wouldn't be here on XDA! :)

Half the fun is going to be identifying the flaws and working on setting them right. :D

Regardless of how the forthcoming reviews turn out, I think the One X is going to be a solid platform to do that on, and is going to have massive amounts of support and development here.

Bring on full root, s-off and kernel source code!
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I'm starting to think his pre-production firmware may nullify much of his review. Just tried the video samples after they took forever to download, and both seem to show extreme frame dropping.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
The google translate is not superb, I didn't understand a thing about speaker volume for ringtones nor the screen under sunlight performance :(
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Oh, that was another of his complaints; if I read correctly he said the screen is too glossy.
[HTC One X] KRiZ-R:
For the multi touch, I can tell you there is an option in the settings which allows the phone to register more than 2 simultaneous touches. It registered all my 10 fingers, though it was hard to put them all on the screen and move them around :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] myself11:
It seems that HD video reproduction is not fluid, only with low bitrates. That's a HUGE turndown, for me.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Unless I've misread the translations, The only main bad point is the camera & in all videos & test shots I've seen - the camera is great!

What a stupid review.

No micro SD slot - Google has already stated they want it done this way, as external sd slots actually cause problems & slow the device down. (HTC are offering dropbox as a compromise too)

Micro sim - i notice it wasn't a bad point when apple did it. (apparently micro sims will become the norm for everyone in future devices anyway)

Basically, they loved the screen, speed, sense & design yet still thought up some rubbish to put a negative spin on the review.

Talking of the SGS3 to see how this device compares? - who the hell does that? - the sgs3 is still just an idea, a prototype hasn't even been introduced yet & no device should ever be judged on another device, a review is supposed to be of this device, & this device alone.

Forgive me if I pay no attention to this 'review'

:)
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
You've misread the review. He criticized quite a few things, but most of them seem to be either user error, or likely related to the fact he didn't have final firmware.

One thing stands out as alarming, though. He noted that on his sample, within just a week the gorilla glass section of the case had come loose from the unibody, and could move up and down by around a millimeter when pressed.

There's a video making the problem clearly visible; hopefully it's just a handmade preproduction body that doesn't have the same tolerances as a final release product.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Yep, thanks, I also see this myself in Ben86's videos:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24324823#post24324823

Either it was user error on the reviewer's part, or his preproduction firmware lacked the feature.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yes I saw that, but I've never heard of this from anyone else, not even on demo units & HTC couldn't afford for this to happen on mass production.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yep, I'm praying it's a one-off. Could be a handmade preproduction model, or one that was early off the production line while they were still testing it. Could also be that it was abused, perhaps in an attempt to "test" the Gorilla Glass. (No idea why reviewers feel the need to test something whose capabilities are already well-documented.)

My fingers are tightly crossed.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Why is any pre-production hardware/software being used in any review anyway.

Reading between the lines on this review, it seems utter nonsense to me.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I wouldn't necessarily criticize that; it's a very, *very* common practice. Companies are often tweaking firmware right up to the moment products go out the door. and because there's quite a few layers of people between R&D / the programmers and the PR firm, the press are often a few generations of firmware behind that available at the factory.

The important thing is that reviewers acknowledge that they are not in final firmware (he did), and clearly state that any issues may well be due to that fact (I'm not sure if he did; I don't speak Russian and am not confident enough of Google's machine-translation to state either way.)

Just found another new Russian review I've not seen posted; apologies if anybody else has already done so:

Let's wait for monday. If all reviews have these problems its bad. If its only this one, its most likely a problem with their particular device.
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I've spent weeks browsing sites about the one x, youtube, xda, I've been to our local HTC store a handful of times to try the phone out - I'll be the judge of what is good and bad, not some reviews website. :thumbup:

Everything can't be rosy from day 1, even if it was, I'd be on xda getting mods and roms anyway so any issues it may have (aside from hardware issues) will no doubt be resolved and improved by the dev on this forum!
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Eldar Mutarzin is known for his controversy reviews.

He had lot of fights with SE before for bad publicity.

Also if the translation is correct and the screen is too glossy then he's contradicting ALL the previews out on the net that stated that for the 1st time HTC choosed a mat glass.

As for the speaker volume(both incall and ringtones) also he's contradicting all the users reports here in XDA...
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
I apologize if these have been asked. I will be ordering an Hp TouchPad very soon. I will put Cm9 on it.

What is the best way to do this?

What rom should I use? I am looking for performance, ease of use, features, and battery life over 6 hours with moderate usage if possible.

How do I adjust the bootloader?

And finally what apps or downloads do I need?

Thank you!

[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
Read the development threads, specially the stickies. You'll find all the information you're looking for there.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
read them. Kinda helped a bit... now I have some more questions.

What ROM should I use?

If you suggest a ROM, can you please give instructions so a two year old, who has flashed a few ROMs before, can do this?

How do I install CWM?

Just ordered my touchpad for $167. Also got 5 screen protectors and the HP Fitted Case for $30.

This will be my first tablet, excluding a few windows 95 wacom ones and one MID tabled that i threw out my window.:rolleyes:

I need a ROM with WiFi working out of the box, er uh out of the flash.
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
Personally, if you want the most stable, I'd go with the CM9 Alpha2. It doesn't have a cam or mic, but then again, nothing Android has them.

Other than that, it's really simple. All you'll need is to read the thread at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18843-releasealpha2-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/ and follow the instructions - everything is there. Download the files it requests, put them on your touchpad's media folder from WebOS in a folder called "cminstall", then reboot into flash mode (power and vol-up when rebooting), and run the commands it says.

It's super-easy, takes about 5-10 mins, and you're golden. Downloading the ROM will be the slowest part of it.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
There are more than a few roms available to the TP's, I use the unofficial cyanogenmod nightlies. Some have more problems than others. Many have wifi issues, but I've never had any.

Go to the unofficial cyanogenmod thread, the directions there are very good and simple and easy to follow. As for the cwm, do the same. The instructions are also easy to follow, a lot easier than if I wrote them..... :)

If you need a rock solid rom with no issues, you're better off using WebOS. Remember, all the android stuff is Alpha. I use webos about 50% of the time. It's a great os, and has much, much better battery life.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
Gonna try cm9 alpha 2.

Should I install this too? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23009531

Seems like a good idea and I understand it. For the cm9 alpha 2, do I use the latest cwm? Thanks!

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
It's completely up to you if you want to use that or not. I used the 1.2 myself back when I wasn't on the nightlies. I am going to try the 1.4 on my tablet once it finishes it's encryption and see where I go from there.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
Ok ill use it. One more question (for now...)

Can you link me to the Alpha 2 download? I have "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha2-fullofbugs.zip" but the "update" and "fullofbugs" parts makes me feel like I got the wrong one. and it took about 30 seconds to download.
[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
No that's correct.

Go to Youtube and search for Reverend Kyle, or check him out here. His videos can answer all of your questions, and his forums are also very informative.

Your questions have indeed been asked and answered 1000's of times before, but I'm trying not to be snippy. Try out google though, oh and bookmark the Rev's forums and youtube channel.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
Thanks. Will do when my touchpad comes it.

And thanks for helping me instead of flay out saying search. I was just unsure and wanted a second opinion.

thanks again everyone!

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
update at the start allows the ACMEInstaller script to use it (all files that it uses require that designation at the start). The fullofbugs part just reminds you that it is an alpha build, and that there will most likely be bugs in it. It is just their way of letting you know this is nowhere near a Final level release.
[TouchPad General] orangekid:
fyi I'm using this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488561

then flash this mods pack:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519161

and I get speed, stability, fluidity, and everything works (besides the camera), it's pretty awesome, you might try it.
[TouchPad General] dung8604:
I was in the same position as you exactly one week ago. I'm very very happy with my touchpad. I'm running oat's light and tasty rom with supreme mod 1.4, supercharged, and chainfired. Running excellent.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
can you post a screenshot? and do I follow the normal install instructions? (terminal on my desktop to flash it?)

Thanks btw
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
Personally, I run the latest nightly from Eyeballer's thread. And flashing it is the same as flashing Alpha 2, only you put that update instead of the one called alpha2. And you flash it from the command line using the ACMEInstaller2 script.

Sent from my HP Touchpad, running the latest CM9 nightly build, using the XDA Premium app
[TouchPad General] MrPuddington:
Seconded. The CM9 Nightlies may be better at some point, but since they change every day, it is a bit of pot luck.

Apps are your choice, but I am generally rather disappointed with the tiny number of tablet optimised apps. They are usually marked HD, and often cost (more). Of course phone apps run fine, but they do not really use a tablet to the full potential, and are sometimes a bit clunky to use.
[TouchPad General] orangekid:
Actually CM7 has working cam and mic, just not CM9.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
Boy Oh boy Oh boy. This is an amazing device. Not sure why people diss this so much. Android runs amazingly. Thanks everyone! I'm running cm9 a2 happily!

Though I am having one problem. When I switch to portrait mode the icons and Widgets shift to the left. Can this be fixed by changing my dpi? And what should I be using? 120 or 160

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
If you're on 160, that's because of the way that the orientation works it. It puts an extra row on the side when you switch to portrait. Not quite sure why.

However, the latest nightly builds (I noticed it as of 20120402) allow you to set your number of columns / rows on your homescreen (when in landscape - when it goes portrait, it does the same thing).

Don't know how well it looks at 120, but at 160 it isn't too annoying. Especially since my tablet almost never goes portrait, unless I'm reading. I'll let someone more experienced answer this one.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
Oh no. I think I broke it already! Went to install the 1.4 mod pack from my Roman manager app and it shut down and now shows this... restart button does nothing... help!?

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[TouchPad General] zealot0630:
I suggest CM9 nightly, everything works fine except camera
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
That's interesting... Looks like a broken flash. Now, when you power it up, do you get the Moboot screen, or just that ? If you get Moboot, you can fix it by doing a Factory Reset and reinstalling the ROM itself. If you don't have Moboot, you might have to re format it and start fresh.
[TouchPad General] Orange_furball:
I got into cwm early this morning. Reflashed cm9 And applied the mod pack from cwm. Everything is running smoothly now, I just won't flash from Rom manager anymore. Any other recommended mod packs? I applied the 1.4 mods and flashed the cm9 boot animation. I want to have a battery percentage but when I tried flashing one it didn't work.

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
The battery percentage was something that somehow ended up getting removed in the last day or so - not quite sure why or how. Maybe you can ask some of the dev's how to bring it back ?

Hi there,

very nice Info!

Have tested this on Windows7 Prof. x64

You will find the "Samsung Kies.msi" in: C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\Downloaded Installations\... or in C:\Users\TobiAdmin\AppData\Local\Temp\... for me, both are the same files!

Everything else works absolutely the same way!

Thanks for your work
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timby:
Thanks for the guide, was helpful in getting me started.

FYI, after step 3, you can also open Samsung Kies.msi with something like 7-Zip, extract samsung_usb_driver_for_mobil and then rename it to samsung_usb_driver_for_mobile.exe.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
Likewise if you actually install Kies the USB driver .exe is in the Kies program folder .

For those who already have a One S, do you also have a contact noise in the background when you're talking to someone on the phone?

[HTC One S] jaywhy13:
Did you check the review from the link here?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24308267&postcount=6

No complaints from the guy who reviewed it there. How is the battery life on the device though? Any other complaints you got? I'm considering getting one soon.
[HTC One S] Rosinior:
In comparison to my hd2 it has a better battery life. I would say about 6-8 h online time. The only disturbing thing I found so far is the noise when calling someone.

The processor is devilishly good, everything is smooth and fast. Also it fits perfect in the hand, not too big and not too small either.
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
What type of usage are you talking about where you are getting only 6-8 hours?
[HTC One S] Rosinior:
6-8 hours immense browsing with the phone. After that I have to recharge the battery, but not sure yet.

After 15 hours (about 30 mins using internet, most of this time in standby) I still got 75% of battery life.
[HTC One S] RobertRobot:
I have 53% battery life after 24h not charging.

I used it for some surfing, sync, whatsapp, facebook and some other apps most time in wlan. 8h was completely standby, the rest was a mix of using and standby.

My first impression is, that the battery has an acceptable life.
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
That seems to be decent, though I do wonder how it'll be once it's all settled in, but back on topic. Do you still get that sound while using the headset or a bluetooth? Related to this, but is it just you or does the other person hear it, it might be the mic (or does the One S have a dual mic setup?) backfeeding or something like that.
[HTC One S] RobertRobot:
I have this problem too. It also feels like there are sometimes kind of interruptions in the conversation.
