No, no and NO!!!

I don't believe in madly chasing technology jumping from one device to the next just because of better hardware specs. Actual device capability, and not on-paper specs, should be the reason for an upgrade (IMHO). I don't understand why would I ever want to return my One X (not that I can even if I wanted to :p).

Reasons:

I LOVE the display. Cannot emphasize this more. Even if SIII has a full HD display, it would not make me love this display any less.

Form factor: The screen size, thinness, curves, surface finish - in short, everything about the One X body feels perfect to me.

Rational thinking. There's no app out there in the market (nor there will be in the next year or two) that the One X cannot run (based on capability, not compatibility). Even if SIII has a much faster processor, the One X is already so fast that the difference would be marginal, barely noticeable, if at all.

Now, why would I ever give up my One X?
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
I fully agree. The sgs3 can not be that much better to make it worth the upgrade, unless Samsung wait a few years before releasing it and I'd be due an upgrade by then anyhows.
[HTC One X] Umyd:
feel? really?

ok, u want weight? attach a brick to it. there u go ;)

and the rest of us will purchase our phones based on it's real life capabilities and other bs like that. pfff yea... what do we know

:D:p
[HTC One X] abc27:
Yes feel. You hold your phone right? You'll immediately notice a difference. User interface and user experience are the most important thing. Having 5% higher scores in a synthetic benchmark isn't going to make using the phone any better.
[HTC One X] Umyd:
fcours i feel the difference. with my previous hd2 i could knock somebody out. i'd be afraid that i dropped it, i'd make its way to the lower floor of the building, or smash itself to pieces. and thats exactly what happened with my girlfriends hd2.

(not punching a whole in the floor, the smashing bit :D)

and who would get hurt more if u were to throw an ant from the 5th floor or yourself.

now dont kill yourself trying to prove me wrong
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
Im gonna get the SG3 as well! Never letting go of my HTC :)

I believe its has HUGE potenial, the firmware is buddy because they wanted it out on the market in a hurry so they made mistakes but they the machine will improve more and more!

:D
[HTC One X] hello00:
I'm sorry, Samsung? No thanks.
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
I bet Samsung could do a better job with HTC sense ui than HTC
[HTC One X] Niiceg:
Nope. I will buy One X this week. Samsung is tempting me, but cmon. Sense UI is amazing :P
[HTC One X] pastey:
The GS2 is a great phone and if the build quality is improved in the 3 it will be awesome except for the fact it will ship with cartoon friendly touchwiz which is total pants!

Ps my onex is a part of me so won't be going anywhere!
[HTC One X] :
Keeping the HTC One X. I love it :)
[HTC One X] Crew One:
TouchWhizz

Enough said. :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
Touchwizz aint a prob as samsung aint idiots about soff blocking etc so u can guarantee TW could be removed for a new rom in less than a week. I love my OX but are use kidding me BUILD quality 80% of ppl on here have fault handsets,gaps,flexing etc so why bother criticizing a handset u aint seen yet when ours isnt even that great at min

I have been put off buying Samsung, after reading that Samsung said sim-free mobiles get the software updates last, and the mobile phone company's get theirs first.

[HTC One X] benrees21:
I just got a galaxy Nexus lol. I should of waited. Maybe I will be able to sell it and get the GS3? Will definitely get rid of touchwizz though.

[HTC One X] jonny68:
This phone does look pretty cool but im not a fan of HTC sense, it looks good but is a serious resource hog, when i had a HD2 i used to avoid Sense ROM's, also what is off putting is no micro sd card facility so im just gonna wait for the SGS3, im still exceptionally happy with my SGS2,pity the One X doesn't have a micro sd card slot.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Touchwizz doesn't have anything to do with my choice. If there is no Sense I use ADW EX and that's it. The rest is about the hardware.

But if its going to be Super AMOLED HD Plus - I'm definitely waiting for through tests including microscope, I want to see those subpixels. But it needs to have something to convince me to sell One X, which I kind of can't imagine at the moment. Even if it will have 720p non-pentile screen with clarity matching One X AND Mali T-604 GPU, I won't be sold to it, there has to be more.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

A lot has changed with Sense, it's not that old Sense 3.0 anymore. But I see your point, SGS2 was one of the first phones I really enjoyed fully. In case of other phones, there was always some "but".
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i love my One X.................and i've only got to wait 10 months until i can upgrade again.:p
[HTC One X] schriss:
Sold mine today to O2 Recycle for 215 Euro :D
[HTC One X] benrees21:
Yes but how much is the S3 going to be to buy outright? In pounds lol. £££. I was thinking of selling on Ebay as you get more then recycling it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, running Slim ICS and the ever so mighty Trinity kernel.
[HTC One X] schriss:
True, but I always sell old phone after I get new one (you never know). And I didn't want to deal with people who will ask me questions as soon as some application crashes or they brick it. Less money but what a peace of mind :D
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
I have had four SG2 , three black and one white one and i have returned them all.

The screen looks great when watching movies, but you will soon notice that whites are not white, more of a tinge of green or yellow, also their is a off colour patch on the left side if the screen, something to do with glue drying.

Any then you have the oled burn-in, dont use am/pm for you clock at the top use 24hr as the am/pm will be burned into the screen.

Also the green pixels wear out faster than the others, so they make them extra bright to begin with.

And you have the pink spot in the middle of photo`s when taken in low light against a light background, which the still have not fixed.

And quite a few more problems that i have not mentioned.

So how many problems will the SG3 have

So i am an HTC convert, not to say they dont have their problems too.

John.
[HTC One X] schriss:
I've been on both sides and I don't have problem changing. It's hardware that mattets not who built it. So as soon as SGS3 is out, I'll be looking at test results and only then making any decisions.
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
Had my galaxy s3 since release and i have never experienced any of the issues mentioned by Tinder and i haven't read many reports either but that aside the gs3 will be a new device would be funny if it was a windows phone aha
[HTC One X] noobstix:
After a friend's galaxy nexus dying on him twice, my brother's galaxy S' GPS breaking, another friend's galaxy nexus having to be replaced I think I'll stay away from samsung. + I'm not a fan of the designs they're making recently, the note is ugly imo and that has nothing to do with the screen size.
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
I'll keep the One X untill Note II come out unless the SIII have the following:

Quad core A15 CPU

Significant improvement in battery life

Both seems unlikely IMO.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
had a galaxy s2..that phone was my baby and my first ever android phone. i flashed so many roms on that bad boy and tweaked it to death that i use to get maximum battery life. now that i have turned to the HOX (only got it cause of the deal i am on) i am more than happy to stick with it. gorgeous screen, Nvidia Tegra chip(meaning quality games), quadcore, sense UI which i love now better than Touchwiz, and again have i mentioned how sexy the screen is...When you go outdoors you do not have to adjust the brightness like the s2..the screen is bright enough as it is and the colours are just gorgeous.

speed and benchmarks do not mean jack. phone feels solid and is more then quick enough as it is. software updates i am sure HTC will be providing us with it as frequently as needed and if we do not get it from them we are on XDA after all.

My only gripe is that the bootloader is locked and feels like it is a mission to root this bad boy..But stock is not that bad after all anyway..Galaxy s3 probs will beat all sales records it might not. But if i ever get a next phone it probs be the new nexus. for now my HOX is my baby and looking forward to more development and i see this phone becoming the next HD2 which development was huge for that phone i see the same thing happening with this to
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
oh loooky here http://www.beginnerstech.co.uk/galaxy-s3-leaked-launch-details/
[HTC One X] schriss:
Full 1080p - if that's true, imagine what kind of GPU would it need to drive that. I just wonder if it does make any sense other than shut up people who count pixels per inch?

Too bad they don't say what kind of Exynos.

Besides, that phone looks much like Galaxy Nexus. Just like Note was enlarged S2.
[HTC One X] abc27:
They're the same rumours that have been circulating for weeks. The only thing new is the May 3rd date.

As for 1080p, there is little to no chance of that happening. Samsung want to make as much money as possible. If they use a decent 720p screen, no one will complain because that's slowly becoming the standard spec for this year's phones. If they use a 1080p screen they'll need to up the price which will put people off.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's rumored to be using the 4212...

Yesterday Chinese smartphone manufacturer Meizu officially announced the Meizu MX quad-core smartphone, which they say will be the world debut of Samsung’s quad-core A9 CPUs, specifically the Exynos 4212. The A9 has undergone a die-shrink to 32nm, allowing the CPU to be faster and use less battery life

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Meiz...st-to-use-the-quad-core-Exynos-A9-CPU_id29167

The real killer chip is the 5250 which moves from A9 to A15. It's in sampling this quarter so probably won't be available in large quantities until Q3. It's first use would likely be in either Android or W8 high-end tablets.

The most recent articles say the SGS3 is likely to be launched in major cities around the world simultaneously to coincide with Samsung's sponsorship of the Summer Olympics in London. That means a potential June/July release. I'm guessing the May 3 pre-announcement is designed to steal some of HTC's thunder before the One X is launched on AT&T.

http://androidandme.com/2012/04/sma...lity-tomorrow-launch-scheduled-for-next-week/
[HTC One X] schriss:
Yea, after second thought - no way it would be 1080p. Last time (Nexus) they didn't even have proper 720p ready. So it's most likely will be 720p non-pentile this time. I wouldn't expect less.

If it won't be Exynos 5250, then it's no point in upgrading for us, no advantages.

But it would still be great alternative to One X.
[HTC One X] maggot_ff:
I am so far holding off. Of the 5 One X's I've fiddled with, all of them have had "design flaws". Screen flexing, weird noise when pressing the back and front at the same time, as if the screen is loose, rattling when shaken and some other things. I know this is nit-picking, but I am very picky about this, borderland OCD actually. :p

So waiting to see the SIII is only a good thing for someone like me, as HTC then has the chance to send out some new batches and hopefully fix some of the issues people are having.

As to people saying Samsung used cheap materials on the SII, that may be true, but the build quality was far superior to what we have seen on the One X so far. Which is sad, because everytime i pass a One X I have to fight myself not to go over and buy it. :p

I'm also intrigued by the rumors of it being metallic blue, which sounds sexy. I'm also guessing there'll be other colors though.

It's sad to hear people were having troubles with their SII's, but mine has served me perfectly for the year I've had it (don't get me wrong, so has my previous HTC's as well), so I have to wait and see what the SIII brings.
[HTC One X] gdelrosario:
Coming from a Desire Z / G2, I'm really not into keeping up with the latest tech.

I'll buy it and hope it'll serve me for 2 years :D

I doubt the S3 will have features that the one X can't cover, however the only reason it would make me think twice is if it ends up with the same batt life as the razer maxx (which sadly isn't available in my country :( )
[HTC One X] JayceOoi:
I will keep One X and get SGS3 too. :D
[HTC One X] telc:
I just sold my old S2 and got the One x. I think I will get the S3 but I will just wait and see what it turns out like....I do miss CM9 that I had on my S2 though
[HTC One X] Blodia:
Will be sticking with the HOX, unless the SG3 has Quad A15 and a screen that beats the HOX :cool:
[HTC One X] jonny68:
I'll put that down to pure bad luck, i have my SGS2 since last year and it hasn't failed me once, someone else i know has it since the first day it went on sale and he too is still raving about it saying it also never failed him once.

I like HTC indeed ive a soft spot for the old HD2 what a phone that was but after using a SGS2 im very reluctant to leave Samsung for anyone else.:)
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
If this is true, a lot of people will probably be a bit disappointed. At least HTC can heave a sigh of relief. S-Pen would be a cool and meaningful feature, eye tracking, not so much.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 will be a relatively minor update from the S2, a source in the UK telecoms industry has told me, with a speed boost and eye-tracking among the upgrades. And it probably won't be called the Galaxy S3.

Rather than go for a complete overhaul, Samsung has apparently opted for an incremental update to the S3. "It'll be like the iPhone 4S was to the 4," says my source, who wished to remain anonymous. He gave no firm word on specs, but said we should look to the HTC One X for what to expect. That has a 1.5GHz quad-core chip with 1GB of RAM and a 4.7-inch screen.

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/sam...-update-with-eye-tracking-exclusive-50007654/
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
So, anyone else think the SGS3 is a bit bland? I kind of liked the simplicity of the SGS2 but the SGS3 just looks odd and ordinary. Especially not digging the ovoid display set in the rectangular body. It'll probably be faster than the HOX but it certainly isn't going to win any beauty contests. Maybe it'll look better in person. It looks from the pictures to have a non-replaceable battery like the HOX.
[HTC One X] abc27:
More cheap glossy plastic. Ugh.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's rumored to be ceramic. If you look at the cutouts on the back it doesn't look like as clean a cut as you'd expect to see with plastic. It could also explain the rounded edges.
[HTC One X] winwiz:
Update: Looks like there has been a proper leak this time:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/galaxy-s-iii-leak/

I can't say I am impressed?????
[HTC One X] abc27:
And HTC breathes a sigh of relief...
[HTC One X] benrees21:
That's just a prototype. Insides will be the same but that's just a shell to test the hardware. I guarantee you won't see the final design until may 3rd.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, running Slim ICS and the ever so mighty Trinity kernel.
[HTC One X] :
I hope that is not close to the final product because it looks like an oversize Desire HD
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
As mentioned its NOT the final design. It's a dummy casing. Final design will be unveiled on the 3rd of May. Internals may prove to be correct but we don't know what it'll look like.

For all we know we could get something totally different to this leak.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
the render from Samsung from the May 22 announcement looked like the front and sides of a sports car, but it was only the bottom part. the sides were grooved and the front was curved. that would be awesome, but if it's just the normal rectangle or rounded edges - i will be happy with my One X.
[HTC One X] danielhtc:
Ive gone through two One X's because of the yellow dot, creaking screen and dead pixel problems. Got a refund after the second.

Going to wait for a little while and see what the SGIII has to offer. If its nothing special I'll jump back on board with the One X. Hopefully by then the Q.A issues have been sorted.
[HTC One X] eletro:
Got a feeling sgs3 is gonna look like gnex with buttons (3 buttons)... and with the extended size.. they can cram in a bigger battery

So that when win8 comes out .. they can still mass produce the current design/hardware into the samsung galaxy focus s2 - that would have godly battery life lol

so hopefully since their "hardware" might be the same .. maybe in the future for sgs3 owners, we might be able to dual boot win8/android.:D

(just my thought .. trying to make sense why they would include hardbuttons..)
[HTC One X] Sim-1:
I wonder how many of us One X users will jump ship after tomorrow's announcement. I for one am ready (as always) to go for the best phone. Here in Italy very few of us buy phones tied to a contract, so we are free to change them more often.
[HTC One X] winwiz:
I am ready to jump ship, all depends on how awesome the beast is going to be
[HTC One X] Goku80:
honestly i do not see the point chopping and changing phones like every two months just because the latest and greatest phone comes out. Now do not get me wrong. Pretty sure the S3 will break all record sales and will be one hell of a phone..But the one x is giving me all i need so i am pretty happy. What else i could ask for. But will be looking at the s3 and what it brings and be nice to see the development for that bad boy as well
[HTC One X] Sim-1:
Can't wait to find out tomorrow! :D
[HTC One X] marcadam:
The sgs3 will be a good phone as long as they've managed to eliminate the manufacturing faults which plagued the sgs2 particularly the yellow tint on the left side of the screen (I had three with this fault). I won't be jumping ship, the building quality of HTC is superior to that of Samsung.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I agree, I kept onto my DHD for 18 months, nothing before the X was big enough of an improvement.

I shall keep the X for another 18 months.
[HTC One X] Sim-1:
I see your point, and I agree with you, the One X is a beast of a phone and I really like it. But then anytime a new toy comes out I feel the urge to test it

if it's better

(yes I'm a child in that respect - I know!!). As to what else we could ask the One X for, I would ask HTC to release the kernel code so that we could do more customizations with it.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Nice to see you here mate. Take it you sold your S2 then:)

All honesty i was going to go for the S3. But due to the deal they gave me i could not refuse it and was looking at the ONE X anyway before hand..And this is my first HTC phone and although i hate the way, the rooting process is i kinda got the swing of it now so pretty happy and the development can only get better since it is a flagship phone

yeah..be nice t have some kernels to be able get more juice out of the battery. but i see your point as well. but at least for a year the HOX will be good enough for me. till new toys next year get released :D
[HTC One X] abc27:
My initial reaction is that Samsung have shot themselves in the foot. A lot of iPhone-esque gimmicks (Siri anyone?), a wacky design, the same cheap glossy plastic and a pentile matrix display with low pixel density.
[HTC One X] Sim-1:
After reading on Engadget that the screen is pentile my One X can sleep tight: it's not going anywhere. :D
[HTC One X] winwiz:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview-hands-on/
[HTC One X] electric0ant:
so it looks like the S2 and the galaxy nexus merged and turned into the S3, rather uninspiring design. not a big fan of that glossy finish with the brushed look underneath, the home button looks out of place. i know the hardware specs is going to be good (benchmark wise), but support for samsung's chipsets for applications don't seem to be as good as the support for tegra.

I was initially worried that the S3 would make me want to upgrade again. (I literally changed from S2 to Xperia S to One X within one month), but def sticking to my one x.

Hi,

Is it possible to boot in safe mode, i.e. with no user application autoloading ? Does this capability exist with any stock or custom ROM or Kernel ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroNuts:
Nope
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milsabords:
Thanks.

Does it exist in any Android implementation ? If yes, is any Dev working on it for the SGN ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miimKay:
Android doesnt know what safe mode is :p

Sent from GNOTE - The Indisputable Beast of Android World
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
I think that's not entirely true.

A couple of users complained about their device booting in safe mode accidentaly, and someone knowledgeable (like Dr. Ketan, for instance, I'm not sure) said that you can boot in safe mode like this:

Tap repeatedly on the menu button while your Note is beginning its boot.

Never tried it though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
The trick is to be holding the left/menu button during the transition from the animated "S" screen to the screen that follows. BUT, the key must also be unlit. Because the LED automatically turns on again after 3 seconds, you have to tap and hold the key every couple of seconds, and do it quickly.

Update: Depending on the phone and firmware, you may just need to hold the menu button until Safe Mode appears - which makes it easier.

To exit safe mode, hold the power button for 8-10 seconds. It﻿ will force a full shut down. Then power it back up normally.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krhn:
Basically crash the sgn and I think it will boot safe mode, although I didn't do it on purpose :rolleyes:

(I think you can make it happen by fully using up all the ram and thus making it super laggy which could freeze the device then constantly press the home button constantly) but take my word on it... :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milsabords:
Safe mode

If some misbehaving application autoloads and makes the phone unstable (bootloops) it is often impossible to identify the culprit and frezze/uninstall it. Safe mode may help regaining control and diagnosing & correcting the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ongxizhe:
Safe Boot does work

You've got to constantly tap the left/menu touch button, tap-hold-let-go the button on every one second interval while powering on. Then it'll show when it reaches the lock screen, that device is running in Safe Mode.
