Well, ain't shooting in poorly lit environment a must-do test for new cameras?

Have you seen Dpreview tests? They crop the images to show which camera has better detail and noise control.

Go learn before talking.

HTC already released a ton of updates for HOX and some of the major issues like the flickering have not been solved. So now you want to compare it witha phone that hasn't hit stores yet?

I think HTC rushed their production to launch some time earlier than the GS3, because every single soul knows the power Samsung has. It came with some downs, like the problems the HOX owners are facing, but I'm sure they sold more phones than if they had waited a month.

Can't wait for June so I can get of these amazing phones, though choosing will be hard :p

[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
No my point was that the post compared it to the SII(in a very limited scenario), and then somehow concluded that S3 is now better than the One X, it's a weak argument. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare phones before they're released anyway, as I've already told the author of that post :)
[Galaxy S III General] Fysi:
The SGS3 will comes out on top overall so I don't see what your point is...
[Galaxy S III General] iPwn_:
My biggest gripe with the S3 is the continued use of Super AMOLED.

From my experience with a Nexus S, Galaxy SII, and GNex, all SAMOLED (+) appears to do is give anything with a white background a bluish tint (ie most webpages) and give a reddish distortion to the edges of text. There's also the issue of simple oversaturation of colors. In some cases, yes, it looks nicer, but it's simply inaccurate and overblown. And once you notice these things you simply keep on noticing them. A similar comparison could be with headphones. Bass heavy Beats may sound nicer when used briefly, but over time you start to notice all the things missing you once enjoyed with cheaper Sennheisers.

Another problem is that Samsung's interpolation software seems to decide to stop working on its own and I occasionally get image artifacts. When only half the advertised number of pixels are addressable, the software converting the output isn't the best.

If I had to upgrade, I would buy the One X. I always felt that my Desire HD felt like a much more solid and expensive device in the hands than any of the phones mentioned above. And from reviews I've read, the One X has a meticulous design and a nice industrial build.

I don't think the marginal loss in performance means anything to me. The Hummingbird beat the Snapdragon S2 in most benchmarks, but I always thought my Desire HD on AOSP Gingerbread felt quicker than my Nexus S. I think the Snapdragon S4 in the One X is a fantastic SoC and won't leave me complaining about anything.
[Galaxy S III General] Fysi:
They will never sound nicer unless you have really bad headphones.
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
The bottom line -

While both phones are great, there are some serious hardware defects on the one x as well as a lockedboot loader. When a damn flash lens is missing that tells me a lot about their production line and quality control. Hence all these other issues just naturally flows out of that.

ps - I will pick amoled over lcd anyday as I don't view my screen at 200X with a microscope. Anything above 300ppi will give me sharp text but when it comes to movies, Amoled is King.

Exactly, I'm starting to feel kinda bad for picking on these guys but i'm not. What I'm trying to do is to enlighten these tech lovers that there are some real issues. The battle is already won by Samsung and they are in denial. I shouldn't push that on them anymore lol. Im guessin SGS3 will win the Phone of the year award yet again. Kudos to Samsung!
[Galaxy S III General] Vegastouch:
For me, the micro card is a big deal as all my music is on there and already organized. No transfering needed. Just pop it in and its done.

I have T-Mobile so id have to get the One S which to me is the perfect size w/ a 4.3" screen but the idiots only put 16GB of storage in it(along w/ no microcard slot). 4.8" is just really too big overall im afraid. I hope the US version of the GS3 is a 4.5" screen with an overall bit smaller phone.

It would be a tough decision going to a 4.8" screen.

Other than that, i really like the phones look and choice of colors.

Hi guys...

there's a way to improve Wifi reception for our Gtab? I have a Lg P500 and it's wifi reception is much powerful than gtab 7+

In the same place lg takes the signal and gtab none :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] matacuras:
i had the same problem. in a forum i read about channels of my router.. if you put your router on auto channel, it might choose a channel that doesn't work as they should in yout tab

solution?

put manual channel on the wifi radio.. from 1 to 7. i choose 7 and my issue with wifi just go away.

This is fresh news that blizzard has updated skills effects of monk, including Sweeping Wind, Crippling Wave, Deadly Reach, and adding Exploding Palm, Way of The hundred Fists and Fists of Thunder in the future patch.

We’re certainly aware of how we’re handling our skill animation sets, as well as your feedback regarding the monk specifically. While working on any piece of the game we have to make production calls on what has the biggest benefit for the time we’re spending on it, because time is quite simply a very precious commodity. We made some choices, some that you may not agree with, to ensure a solid level of animations throughout the game. To make a call on not displaying a weapon during a skill may allow us to animate a multitude of spell casts for a demon, a higher priority animation for another character, or unique animation to ensure an in-game cut-scene feels epic. Making the tough calls on when and where the game and players as a whole will benefit most is one of the most difficult things the producers, designers and artists have to do.

It’s worth noting that in addition to making those tough calls we take a logical approach to skill animations, and there are some where we purposely do not show a weapon. This is mostly for summoning or buff abilities where a weapon doesn’t play into the skill, such as mantras, or Inner Sanctuary. There are other skills where we purposely do not show a weapon because the concept of the skill is not connected to a weapon, such as Seven-Sided Strike and Lashing Tail Kick. In addition there are skills that purposely do not show a weapon because the skill is conceptually about the monk using his fists or hands, such as Way of the Hundred Fists or Exploding Palm.

Does this mean we're likely to see the usable weapons for classes increase past release day? Or would all of this be finalized for a day 1 patch? Otherwise I might have to keep a sweet two-handed mace in my stash just in case my wizard can use it someday...

Check it on d3guyz.com

The additional weapon types are specific to monks. The original monk design was very different and very weapon dependent. As that design changed the number of usable weapons didn't really keep up to match, and so we're working to correct that.

That's not to say it's impossible for other classes to see additional weapon types, but we have no plans at this time.

Q: You mentioned patches. In these patches do you plan on buffing skills or nerfing skills? Or are all D3 patches mostly for bugs, glitches, animations, or system problems?

Kind of off-topic, but yes, we intend to correct issues and make balance changes through patches. Did anyone think we wouldn't?

Please tell me you've given Monks the ability to use 2 handed maces! PLEASE!

The work isn't complete so I really can't comment on which weapon types because I don't want you coming after me if for whatever reason we can't deliver ... but I think you'll be happy.

I have gotten myself a s-offed HTC One X from a local carrier with their firmware on it so I have no real hope of fast updates...

CIDgetter says in the top left I have CID of 11111111, yet going down to ro.aa.maincid says TELENZ001 - the carrier

Obviously I am s-offed and can get into the bootloader, how do I go about changing my CID and flashing a European RUU?

Have you tried just plugging in when in fastboot and running the RUU? If you really do have Super CID it'll just work

If you have superCID then choose whatever RUU you want from HERE. It will not change your CID if you flash a particular RUU.
[HTC One X] almanbrother:
May I hook on to this.

My CID is O2__001. So I want to change it into 111111.

When I boot into fastboot and give 'fastboot oem writecid 11111111' it says:

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links).

I've tried different usb-ports, different usb-cables

Or is there another way to change the CID?

Bootloader is unlocked (HTCDev)

HBoot: 0.43.0000

Softwareversion is still 1.26.206.2, no updates available

Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't without S-OFF, so you will only get updates from o2 or you can go custom

You're really fast! Thanks, I will search.
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Sorry for not just going ahead and flashing it but...

a) Do I need root/htcdev to flash? (im assuming not)

b) If I flash the EU RUU will I get OTA updates as theyre pushed out (im assuming so)

Straight from HTC, that's why ;) review phones sent out to media (at least in New Zealand) are also s-offd
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
If you have S-OFF you don't have any need for HTCdev. Being superCID your phone can get OTA updates as long as you have stock recovery.
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Thought that might be the case, as for flashing the RUU, is it the standard CWM way or with the fastboot files you mentioned in the video in your sig? Do the same instructions apply from it for me?
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
bump
[HTC One X] :
No you don't flash the RUU you just run on your PC while the phone is plugged in.
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
For future reference:

1. Download RUU

2. Boot phone into fastboot

3. Plug phone into PC

3. Run RUU on PC

4. Program does the rest for you

My CID is still super and (should) now get OTA updates for the HTC_001 region, rather than waiting on the carrier
[HTC One X] lukesky:
For point 2., can I just turn on usb debugging and then plug in the USB cable and let the RUU do the rest? I do have the HTC sync drivers though.

I did a test flash with a RUU and I went all the way till the RUU tested the phone and the Update button came up but I didn't press it though.. was going to try that tonight.
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
I really doubt it, you'll have to go into the bootloader (power + vol down until it pops up) and go into the fastboot menu

[HTC One X] lukesky:
Oh ok. I sort of remember when using the older HTC phones, when I flashed them via RUU, I could flash them as it is, because the RUU took care of everything, so I thought this would be the same thing. But if your way is tried and tested then I better follow it... don't want to screw things up...
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
So I take it you're running 1.29.401.7 now? And still have S-OFF?

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

The problem with doing it with the phone booted is that it can lose the connection. If you boot into FASTBOOT and then run the RUU it just does it and will only fail if the RUU is the wrong one for your handset
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Correct

Aside, battery life is much better on 1.29 than 1.26. The HTC battery test had me at 78% before, only run it for 30mins before it stopped but it was only down to 94% I think
[HTC One X] lukesky:
Ah I see, so both ways are doable but fastboot is safer! Great! Thanks!:)

I too have a "special" set that is CID=11111111 with SHIP S-Off when I go into the bootloader page, but my [ro.aa.maincid] is HTC_001 so I guess I'll just stick to the standard Europe WWE version because I'm not getting the OTA at all and I'm still running on 1.15 and the phone gets hot very fast so I have no choice but to flash 1.29 or else I can't really use the phone properly.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Yep, get the 1.29.401.7 RUU and flash away!! :D

I'd love an S-OFF phone, not for custom ROM but to have the choice
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Wait... so some people on HTC_001 get the OTA updates ASAP and some don't?

I just love the s-off nature so I can get the latest updates. Probably won't even bother with custom ROMs until there are some Jellybean leaks/SDK ports/AOSP ports
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
OTAs are apparently done via IMEI but I'd imagine you'd get them quicker as they're S-OFF/review models
[HTC One X] lukesky:
not really, been trying for the past 2 days and I didn't get anything. maybe i've already missed my turn and got to wait for a long time for the whole cycle to repeat? :eek:

anyway i just flashed 1.29 via fastboot and it works! yay!

I use ZAGG screen protectors as well. The wet application method really does work wonders to ensure there are no air bubbles or slip ups in the installation. The ZAGG screen protectors are also somewhat rubbery, so they actually PREVENT scratches, not just protect the screen in case they happen. Plus, if something does happen to them, you can just log on and request a warranty replacement for just the cost of shipping (~3.99) and receive a brand new one. I am thoroughly satisfied with ZAGG screen protectors and use them on ALL of my devices.
