[Desire HD General] Maedhros:
So, we have had a post comparing the DHD to the One S, now how about to the One X. After all, when the DHD came out it was HTCs flagship, just as the One X is now.

Design:

The One X feels nicer in hand. MUCH nicer. Its very comfortable and light weight to hold in hand. It feels better in hand then the Desire HD.

Although it is lighter, it has just enough heft to feel like a cell phone instead of a remote control.

Win: One X

Build Quality:

I wont take into account all the issues that are popping up in the 1x section (bad screens, bad QA, etc.), and I will only comment on the polycarb vs metal aspect of the two phones here.

The 1X feels solid in hand, no doubt. But when you hold the DHD and then hold the 1X you feel very scared of dropping the phone. The 1X does not provide the same feeling of ruggedness and rigidity that the DHD provides to you.

IMO... the 1X feels better then the Sensation did, but it lacks the reassuring solidity of the DHD.

Is this a bad thing? Yes and No. If you really liked the metal design, you will be disappointed as I was. I SERIOUSLY considered returning the device based on this aspect alone. The DHD just feels like a TANK. When I have that phone in hand I feel invincible, where as the 1X... not so much lol.

Win: DHD

Speed:

The 1X wins this HANDS DOWN. Keep in mind I have the North American version with Dual Core S4. The 1X is an instant upgrade.

I won't even comment anymore on this section because thats how much faster it is compared to the Desire HD.

Win: 1X

Battery:

I have only had the device for a few days now and the battery life has been a vast improvement over the DHD. Will comment back on this later in the day if people are curious.

Win: 1X

Overall:

So... the question everyone has been waiting for: Is the 1X a true successor to the Desire HD? IMO... No.

The 1X is a very mainstream phone. TBH... it feels like it is the successor to the Sensation. It attempts to be thin and light weight, while sacrificing the metallic feel we all love.

Although it is an upgrade in every.single.way, I can not say that it is the successor to the DHD. I feel HTC designed this phone for mainstream love.

Although I haven't had a chance to hold the 1S in hand, I think its worth a shot to see if it feel better.

Final remarks:

This phone - in no way - feels "plasticy" or "cheap". It just does not have the same feel as the DHD. But it also does not have the same heft either, which imo is a good thing.

So should you upgrade? Yes.

Although I felt the Sensation was not a big enough upgrade from the DHD, I can safely say the 1X is. I suggest everyone who is considering it should do so!

That being said, if the metallic unibody is a big deciding factor, hold off. I'm sure HTCs next flagship will have the MAO body.

Will post pics later in the day.
[Desire HD General] TheChaoticLlama:
Very informative thank you very much. That being said, I will not be upgrading for at least another 6 months. This phone is still a very decent device and I feel it still has a lot of potential. Obviously HTC feels the same, using the same hardware on their mid-range device as well as giving the DHD a 4.0 update. Not bad for a 18 month old device. This phone still competes with the likes of the iPhone 4 which is the second most used phone, slightly behind the 3gs. Who knows? Once 4.0 comes out with the official drivers we might see a dramatic speed increase.

Another reason I will not be getting the One X is simply because I don't feel as if the quad core processor is being optimized to its full extent. It's new technology and needs more attention. I'm not denying the fact it's faster, I just don't think it is being used to its full potential.
[Desire HD General] andalism:
Got to agree. Frankly if you talk about basic functions, what the 1x can do, the DHD can also do.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Maedhros:
I agree that the DHD is a capable phone... but I cannot describe how much better the experience is on my XL versus the DHD. Everything the DHD did... this phone does... much better :\

The 1X however wont do anything mind blowingly better. It is essentially a plastic DHD.

TBH... this phone isn't a DHD successor... It's a sensation successor. Once we get a S4Pro device with a MAO body... then THAT will be a successor for the DHD.

A note on Battery Life:

Just came back from work & Battery has 65% charge left. Same usage as my DHD, but DHD would be close to dead by now.
[Desire HD General] Sany789:
Thanks for that ;)
[Desire HD General] Maedhros:
No worries!

I just retuned my 1X... :(

It had a warmer display with slightly yellower screens. Refused to exchange my unit so I refunded it.

Very disappointed in HTC for using 2 different panels... I won't buy a new HTC device until HTC stops slacking... What is the point of using 2 different screens?

As a comparison: On my DHD with sense 4.0, the messaging and settings looked white... but on my One X it looked... an off white color. Not yellow, but not bright white... Other then that was very nice.

What do you guys think is the best browser for any Android 4.0 based roms? i personally use dolphin because of its easy access to bookmarks and awesome tab managing and smooth scrolling since it is like an overlay of the default android launcher. used to use opera, but it was just too ram consuming and slow upon first load. Share what you think is the best browser for you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Sejmir:
also dolphin, not as fast as stock, but as you say sidebars are awesome and handling new tabs is simply perfect. I dont wanna fastest tho its fast its just very easy to use nice looking and bugless also. I noticed some commands like copy to clipboard script on sites is not working but if only thats the price to pay for accesing your sites in one sec then im ok with it :p

according to the poll, Stock browser appears to be on top. followed by chrome opera and then dolphin. it appears to me that dolphin is like a skin/over lay on top the stock browser, with the same performance in both loading speeds and smoothness. may i ask why stock to those who are using stock? try dolphin on ics if you haven't, it's damn smooth and easy to use!

Default browser IMHO, because i found Chrome Beta laggy and ram-consuming.

***** 09/01/2012 Epinter CM10 light levels can be customized on 09/01/2012 build.

**** 08/31/2012 Works with Jokersax CM10

*** 08/25/2012. Added brighter levels. Auto brightness levels can be edited on CM7, CNA JB builds, maybe some others. Check your display options.

** Added alternative levels. Changed Decrease Hysteresis to 0 % overlap to allow the screen to dim down to the lowest value.

*These settings cannot be changed on Neutrino ROM.

Here are my current Light Sensor Settings. I am experiencing smooth levels transitions and it is also easy on your eyes when using your phone in the dark.

Refer to the attached screen shot for quick reference. I set my Number of Levels to 49 and follow the pattern of + 5 screen brightness for every 100 sensor level. Follow the pattern up to 255 screen brightness.

Window Length is set to 20 sec, Sample Interval to 1 Sec with Reset Threshold Disabled. I use Custom Screen Dim Level set to 1 and Light Decrease Hysteresis to 0%.

Tip: Some people find the final screen level of 255 unnecessary and they keep 230 as their highest brightness value. I set it all the way to the max because I hate not being able to see my screen in the sun. Lower final value has a potential to improve your battery life.

---------------------

Here are some alternative levels if you feel you want the screen to be a little brighter.

Again, follow the pattern of +5 screen brightness for every 50 sensor level.

-----------------------

08/25/2012

Try these levels if you still find the previous levels too dim.

+5 Screen steps still remain. Number of levels are 49.

Sensor levels are +25 at every step. Follow the pattern shown on screen shot all the way to screen level 255.

Button brightness is really not needed after a certain screen (50?) level because you would be able to see them in broad daylight/ bright room.

Note: I updated the setting for Decrease Hysteresis to 0% overlap to allow the screen to dim down to 1 when using your phone in the dark.

Hit the thanks button if you find this useful! :D

I would just like to share that I am also interested. I have finally decided to return to CM7. Although I loved MIUI V4, I eventually realized that I could get exactly what I wanted from a ROM more easily in CM7 right now. So anything that helps battery is much appreciated. On MIUI V4 I was able to consistently get about a day and a half of battery life with 5 hours of screen time and WIFI on

I've been using your settings for weeks, and I haven't noticed anything different in battery life.

However, I did find it really strong at always maintaining a near perfect level of brightness, especially outdoors.
[Atrix 4G General] paxal:
Thank you very much.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Near perfect levels can be pretty useful.

I haven't applied these just yet (but I am about to) but what I found when I was getting great life on MIUI is that keeping it on the lowest possible comfortable setting (as opposed to auto brightness) makes a world of difference.

If I spend the day in my house, my brightness stays on the lowest setting for that full amount of time, so I get an increase by not using autobrightness. With auto, it would change if one room was brighter than another.

I guess it's your mileage may vary

EDIT: I realized this post doesn't make much sense and is mostly rambling. So long story short, these settings will only make a decent impact while using autobrightness IF you are primarily at the lower levels of lighting
[Atrix 4G General] Soldier-2Point0:
Hope these levels are doing people good. I have been on these levels for almost three months now.
