[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
A couple of things... I ordered a UK One X Thursday and got it yesterday. That's after reading about all the bugs, issues, and complaints that have been posted. I have high expectations but figured: A) there are people here with even higher expectations, or B) since the defect poll is running 2/3 issue free I'd get lucky.

I did. My gray HT23 doesn't seem to have any of the problems discussed. The display has no yellow tint, is attached well at all four corners, and hasn't flickered or stuttered once. If I press the lower left edge like the C-Net UK video I see some minor distortion but only by doing so in a way I can't imagine doing accidentally. It also doesn't make any sounds when I shake it. Granted I've had the phone for less than 24 hours and things could change but as of now it appears to be defect free (knock on wood). Obviously it's too early to comment on battery usage.

Going back to expectations. Truly, what do many of you expect? The only ICS launch that's not been challenged is the Zoom; and it's AOSP. The Asus Prime's been a train wreck as has the TF101 upgrade. The GN had numerous issues day one and some people are still having them. Samsung's launch of ICS for the SGS2 is one of the reasons I now have a One X. I know it's a new and expensive flagship phone but if you thought introducing a version of Teg3 never used before, Sense 4.0, and ICS at the same time was going to be issue free you're naive. HTC has their entire future riding on this phone so I'm of the mind they'll do whatever's necessary to get it right (over time).

Speaking of which. I bought this phone in spite of Teg3 not because of it. I've been following the Prime since pre-orders went up and there's something really strange occurring that may be occurring here too (to a lesser degree fortunately). Devices coming off the assembly line using all the same components perform differently and react to updates differently. The Prime's been out since December and the general consensus is that these variances have to do with individual Teg3 chips performing differently. The areas affected are performance, battery life, and graphics.

So if the same thing is happening here (and it appears to be) it's Nvidia's issue. People went through as many as nine Prime's to get an excellent specimen and many resellers stopped offering it because of the return/exchange rate. Obviously that doesn't take HTC off the hook or make things better for those experiencing issues, but it's something to consider. Sadly, it would also appear that s/w isn't the issue so those with flaky One X's should exchange or return them rather than wait for updates.

The TF300 and Acer A510 are both coming out this month using Teg3. It'll be interesting to see if they behave the way I've described too. For Nvidia's sake I hope chips with deviations are in the single digits and they get this under control quickly. Otherwise Teg3 will be their last SoC as manufacturers have plenty of other choices and don’t need their reputations trashed at someone else’s hand. Doesn't it strike you guys odd that with Teg3 having been on the market since December that, as of now, there are only two devices from two manufacturers using it?

I'll post some more comments about my phone once I've got it fully set up and have used it for a few days. I'll say this, it's a generational leap over the SGS2 and the polish and refinement are impressive for a device that's been on the market a little over a week and packing so many "firsts."
