[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eva_d:
I'd disagree - One X has slightly better camera and better display. Difference in camera quality isn't that obvious until you start shooting photos in low-light conditions, where HTC's very bright lens (f/2.0) starts showing its true potential, while Xperia S tends to leave excessive amount of purple noise (see my camera shoot-out between both). When it comes to the display - yes, Sony has better pixel density and image is exceptionally crisp, however HTC's display is better for browsing web, viewing photos, videos etc. and also has excellent viewing angles (which, as we know, isn't great in Xperia).

HOWEVER, as I currently have both One X and Xperia S, and I need to ultimately decide which one to keep as my default smartphone for the next 1-2 years, I'm leaning towards Xperia S after all. HTC has received exceptionally positive reviews around the web but personally I wasn't that impressed (my review will be up at coolsmartphone sometime next week). It still looks soooo HTC'ish, it's fairly chunky (albeit thinner and lighter than Xperia!), I still don't like HTC Sense that much (yet v4.0 is fairly ok) and finally I struggle to feel these "4+1" cores it supposedly has. Yet, it is pretty snappy in day-to-day usage, on par with Xperia S I'd say, however there are noticeable UI lock-ups that still happen occasionally. Especially after prolonged and heavy use, for example, if I spend too much time in Chrome Beta browsing websites, or view too many photos/videos in Gallery etc. launcher process is apparently restarted and reloading it takes 8-10 seconds! Really annoying and nothing anyone would expect from the phone bearing such spec. Another thing which annoys me in HTC is on-screen keypad, nowhere near as good as Sony's, especially when it comes to gesture input and autocorrection handling.

Don't get me wrong, HTC One X is really good device, in many ways much better than Sony Xperia S, however I feel slightly better while using Xperia after all, even if some of its hardware bits aren't as good as they could be.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kenan3cn:
I own both phones and as far as I can tell, xperia s is more responsive and stable than htc one x. Battery lasts longer as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eva_d:
In my case battery's better in HTC, however my Xperia is still running .67 and draining juice as hell, hoping .73 fw will fix it as some people reported.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jkr284:
I got the xperia s at launch and love it. Got the One X as an upgrade as its the phone I can get the most money for. took the sim out of the S, put it In the one x and used it for the day........loved it! The one x is much better all round apart from battery life. My sony smartwatch drained the **** out of it! One X is boxed up ready to sell. **** battery has cursed the one x, its like the desire all over again. Xperia S ftw!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kitsVA:
I used both. Sold Xperia S and got HTC One X. Not sure if I can hold on it longer.

Lot depends on your preferences. I am biased towards Xperia designs. They look so unique and stylish to me. HTC phones haven't changed much in their curved corner looks that reminds me of a cow tongue.

1. One X seems to feel more well built and sturdy than S mainly because it's thinner and has no removable back cover.

2. S display is awesome but One X is not bad either.

3. S USB cover idea is terrible.

4. S capacitive buttons needs some getting used to.

5. Both camera's are good enough for phones.

I think it all comes down to you personal satisfaction. I am already thinking to sell my One X after another week or two and consider either Xperia S in white or P. I just love the Xperia's lean and clean ROMs and user interface and designs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eva_d:
Yeah, very well said. Both phones are pretty capable hardware-wise (HTC maybe a little bit more), both have certain strengths and weaknesses, hence difficult to pick a clear winner here. I guess personal preference would be main factor here for anyone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pluto:
You should also consider the HTC One S.. It's like an improved Xperia S on a One X body, the only thing wrong with it is the qHD Pentile SAMOLED screen, personally, me moving from a Samsung Wave won't make a difference, if Pentile doesn't bother you, pick the HTC One S, it's the fastest phone on the market thanks to the Snapdragon S4 chipset, GSMArena said it's the best music phone, and it has the same camera as the One X, with a better design.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
XPS no doubt around that, screen and camera cant be compared.

Xps is a way better in that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] san_rock1:
thanks

thanks every1, was myself inclined towards xperia s cause of the design, cud not find a single place to check out htc onex so had to ask for reviews
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mikbe:
200 € difference in price did it for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Well that is always subjective to the reviewer or user and is always biased ;)

I don't agree with you about browsing and videos (HD) this one is for me personal a clear winner and about the viewing angles that's a non brainier.

I always look straight to screen :D Then we have the unique human eye which plays a part too for every user lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Reviews show camera on HTC beeing slightly worse than Xperia,

actually HTC made it quite mediocre.

Some videos also show browser stuttering.

I believe quadcores are not optimized yet in full.

Design of Sony is IMO ahead as well as UI which looks more clunky on HTC.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mr.President:
I have Xperia S myselt. Also I used One X quite a lot. One X has a lot of advantages before the Xperia S. Screen is a lot more bigger if you compare two devices. Also i like the colors more on the One X. It has ICS with Sense 4 UI from the box and that thing is just awesome even though Sony did a great job to the GB making it look very good too. The camera is even more fast on One X and photo quality is not bad at all. The speaker is louder on the Xperia S. You cant forget about Tegra 3 platform which is very good in terms of graphics/perfomance. Also there are a lot of custom roms for One X and they make it last for 3 days without charge in medium usage level. Also it feels monolith compared to XPS which constists of several parts with all these covers and transparent panels. Maybe you dont need that much out of a mobile phone, but yes, the One X is better choice if you put away the fact that it costs a lot more then Xperia. If I haven't bought the Xperia I'm sure i would buy the One X instead. But now personaly I don't see many reasons for changing my device.

Oh and the white One X with its huge screen is just simply amazing. You definitely have to take a look at it for yourself.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Well I don't like a bigger screen so easy choice ;)

Lol my youngest Son updated his brand new Sensation Beat to ICS guess what beside some

cosmetic stuff he didn't noticed a lot of difference between GB and ICS ;-)

Not to mentioned the extra strain on the battery through ICS, still the weak point of all mobile phones...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Here in Canada I have decided to go for the XPERIA S. Mostly because I like the aestetics of the Xperia a lot more. The One X would look nice, if it didn't have that bulge where the camera is. That (in my opinion) was the major deal breaker.

The XPERIA S costs $499 Canadian here and the One X is rumoured to be $620. Albeit that the One X has a better processor and includes LTE, it wasn't what I wanted. If I were to get the One X, I would get the black LTE version, and only the white LTE version is coming to Canada.

I should have the XPERIA in my hands Tuesday, Unless I happen to come across an Black LTE One X (for cheaper), I'm staying with the XPERIA.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eddyedwards007:
I've got both, Xperia S first. I'm used to sense and really like it so I missed having it. The screen on the Sony is crisper but the HTC is very clear also. I much prefer the widgets on the HTC to the Sony.

For me the One wins hands down but only because I like sense and because I had a hd2 for two years I'm biased :)

Don't get me wrong the Xperia is a lovely phone,just not for me.

As some of you mentioned,It's down to personal preference.

Good luck with whatever you decide :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Goobacks:
I love my white xperia s. I get so many 2nd looks from people at work. But I'm really wanting to try out the one x. I have nothing against the xperia I just have an addiction lol. So if anybody has a one x they wanna trade let me know ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kiwiandy:
prefer the Experia S

I have both a HTC One X and the Xperia S.

I had the One X backordered and then my iPhone4 died.. so I bought the Xperia to tide me over until my One X arrived. Like one of the other posters I am quite partial to HTC sense having owned an HTC Desire HD, and a Sensation previously. But I bought Fancy widgets pro and was able to enjoy the best parts of the Sense experience on the Xperia S.

My One X finally arrived a few days ago, and after setting it up and using it for one day... I have decided to sell it and stay with the Xperia. I do like ICS but guess that it will be here soon... but there was nothing that I found that superior on the One X to make me want to keep using it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dj_joban:
Hope most of you are aware of the problem, yes the ghost touches and partial touchscreen dead(1 cm above the touch buttons mostly in my case)

this is so annoying it happens mostly wen i am in urgent need...i have read many threads but nothing seemed to be working

i am using the sprint cdma version which i got shipped from the USA to INDIA and as there is n sprint store i have to deal with this problem on my own..

i love this phone and don't wanna lose it...neither do i want to spend much

as what i have realised this is not a hardware issue.... i am having hboot 1.5

s-off and locked..every thing stock

i have tried touchscreen booster also but nothing worked....

never dropped the phone and treat it like my baby...

plz someone help me...:))

regards JOBAN
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
i hope this gets fixed as well. i was fortunate enough to have the ghost touches once out of my 9 or 10 months of having this phone
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I wonder if it is really a hardware issue because when I used some of the ICS roms it never happens.... I only notice the touch issues when I use a stock based rom.

Mine doesn't happen too often but when it does its really annoying. I've tried to take it into sprint and have them fix the screen but the screen didn't act up when I took it in.... So the sprint techs wouldn't fix anything....
[HTC EVO 3D] dj_joban:
:(

yesterday i did the line draw test when the screen was giving me problem...by *#*#3424#*#*

method... and the lower part of the screen acted weird... but in d morning the screen was okay and no issues were reported not even with the line draw test...

but i know the problem will come back...

and thnx for the reply guys..:))

still fix needed... idk y there is no fix for the issue when so many people are facing the problem... maybe because almost ol of them have a nearby sprint store... i don't have one coz i am in INDIA.... so help me..:))
[HTC EVO 3D] dj_joban:
???

no help..:(
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Maybe your best bet is to either return it to where you bought it or send it in to HTC for repair... Although I can see its a bit tough shipping thins from India.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
My friend had this same issue with his EVO 3D. He had to take it in to Sprint and they replaced the digitizer/lcd and bezel from another phone that was just returned. I guess if you are in India, you could look online to see how much one would cost to get shipped in.
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
same problem, i too from india. i also got an spare touchscreen, but from fews day problem has not arisen.

btw, my friend just open my phone for changing touch screen, but was unable to change it, but what he has done is tighten the touch screen cable.

now i am not facing any issue. though its just an week. i am testing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dj_joban:
tnx fo reply

Yea shipping is a major issue here in India... And HTC don't just replace the digitizer,the whole assembly costs 170 $ (converted from Indian rupees around 8000) ...so if nothing woods ill buy a digitizer from eBay.....

And tightened cable sounds good... But let's see if that works..
[HTC EVO 3D] xchan21:
Maybe the problem is you and not your phone :) Cheerz!
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
hello joban,

I got your pm i thought it would be better to post here,

I was getting this ghost problem very frequently. It was like in every 15 to 30 minutes. I tried various roms but moreover it was more in sense.

I was very annoyed as i also have a small white spot.

so, i thought digitizer is an issue. I order one digiter from ebay. its took around 2 months to reach india. I was having a spare fascinate so i kept evo 3d aside till that time.

as i got my digitizer,

i gone to my friend, he is having a mobile shop, i told him that there is some touch problem so i need to change the digitizer. so, he opened my phone,then he disconnect all the cables (Which are very delicate tell him that that connecter will unlock from white side not from the brown side. as the connecter are of two colors brown from the back side and white from the front side.)

after that motherboard got separated. Lower part he said that it is very delicate as its will be difficult to assemble it back. He referred me to some other dude who can do that. he repair phones but basic phones & chinese phones. ;)

he asked me the exact issue, i told me phone behaves weirdly. He said this problem is not with the touchscreen. something else is the problem.

he told me as if touchscreen problem arise it will not work or a specific part will not work.

now. he connected my motherboard back. tighten it. and told me to check.

LOL as this problem is not frequently.

I told him i will test it and let you know. He suggested as if in case problem arises again, he will just hot air the touch screen connecter area and nearby component.

(mann mein toh doubt rehta hi hai yaar , abhi bhi saala tension hai soch raha hu fatafat nikal dallu ;) )

but believe me its been more then a week. I have not faced this issue yet. I am on viper rom, stock kernel. also uncheck on off crt animation as i have seen its having bit problem with sense. and sometimes it act weirdly due to which touch doesnt response, you need to lock and unlock again.

LOL my spare touchscreen is eating dust now.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
have you tried calibrating it with the htccalibrate app?
[HTC EVO 3D] humpty_dumpty_empty:
Hi,

Could you please help me with any mobile repairers in Mumbai/Pune who can fix broken touchscreens? My Einstien brain managed to cut the flex cable to touchscreen and its now not responding at all. I'm using Tinji i9300 mt6577 chinese phone. Reuqest your help plz. Thanks.

So I figured for a personal challenge I would try manually modifying the wan and wifi images for my skyrocket's ics install (simplelite to be exact). Can someone point me to where the relevant files are located, if they're in regular files or a zip or apk?

Dear Admin and Mods ,

Thank You for you great time and effort in keeping XDA at the top. :)

However , I and may be many users feel that the Development Section of the Galaxy Note forum is too cluttered :confused::(. It takes a lot of time to find the appropriate thread of any specific Kernel , ROM etc... I know we can Bookmark the required section , but that is very impractical if there are many sections that we follow.

The re-arrangement should be on basis of separation of threads into Categories like Kernels , ROM's , Mods , and likewise.

I sincerely hope that you will consider my suggestion. ;)

I hope other guys who feel the same , should make a request here.

To start thread in dev section should have some strict rule.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
I support this wholeheartedly. I'd suggest a minimum of 100 posts in the Note forum - not someplace else - before being able to start a thread in Dev. I emphasized 'not someplace else' because we've seen people with lots of posts and thanks to their credit starting ridiculous threads in Dev - they obviously got their credentials in some other XDA forum. One was even a recognized developer.

Mods have tools for moving stuff about/deleting threads at their disposal, and I don't think they actually need our help in doing that.:)
