I'm switching BACK to android after a less than stellar iphone 4s experience. The screen was too small for me. I also hate hate hate the notification system on IOS. As far as email, I never had a problem with it on android, maybe because I use gmail, I don't know.

Now just so you don't think I'm fanboi I'll just say this, I have an iMac, which I sometimes boot windows 7 on, an iPad, a galaxy Tab 2 tablet, and consider myself platform agnostic.

IMHO IOS is superior on the TABLET, and Android is superior on a PHONE.

Another solution to what? HTC'S email app? Don't use it. There are quite a few email apps on the market, K9 is a decent one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
I guess I should point out why the email app is so important to ME...

I have 5 microsoft exchange accounts. Personal and WORK related.

iOS's email app is the easiest to setup and has a better combined inbox experience. As a user has pointed out above, HTML emails are horrible on Android. No zoom out whatsoever.

My biggest issue with Android has always been the email. Separate Gmail and Email app? It's a stupid design. Now don't get me wrong, for the regular person that has only one email account, they won't care.

However, again, for MYSELF, it's not productive and it's a disappointing experience.

But for now, big screen with 300+ dpi, LTE speeds (58mb down for me!), much much faster and better OS, and something to play with, HTC One X will be my main phone right now.

Will I switch if the new iPhone 5 has LTE, bigger screen, and a better battery life, probably. Until then, I am ENJOYING my HTC One X.

Sigh...I swear "fanboys" really need to not post at all and just giggle to themselves :rolleyes:

I have an iMac, so I am somewhat of an Apple Fanboi. I have drifted back and forth between iPhones and Android phones. I had a 4s which I liked, but got bored of. I used to make fun of the "giant Android phones" with their large screens. Now that I own one, I would never go back to smaller. The wife's iphone 4s feels like a toy in my hand now, it's TINY.

I gotta say, with ICS and Sense 4 on the HOX, it runs as well as iOS did on my 4s.

The camera on this thing rivals (or sometimes betters) the shots I took with my 4s.

I love my HOXL, and so far I haven't experienced any of the bugs people are reporting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
I hate to say this, but you're dumb. They have separate email programs because they function differently than each other. Gmail app is for GMAIL, and email app is for running other inboxes, such as hotmail, gmail, exchange, yahoo, etc. But since you're not open to seeing that that sort of design is better for those who actually use google products, and providing a true to design experience, you're just going to muddle on about how it sucks.

You're saying email as a whole is a problem, when it's just your UNIQUE experience that is a problem. I have 3 GMail accounts and guess what? My experience is better than the iPhone because I have more of the original controls from the browser experience at my fingertips, where as I have a watered down version on the iOS.

So yes, maybe your unique 5 exchange accounts sucks, but that really isn't something you need to be saying makes the phone suck. It's like a crippled person with some super unique issue, being upset because the bump on the ramp for his wheelchair is to high, because of his super unique disability.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chillyw:
You can setup gmail in the android email client instead of using the gmail app if you really want to. My wife had her phone setup like that for a while.

Still, though, it sounds like you should try some of the custom email apps out there like what was suggested. That's the cool part about Android. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
No. You're dumb.

Its stupid to have a separate Gmail account setup separately when I can set it up as Microsoft exchange and use Combined Inbox.

Again. You're stupid and DUMB...

SMH...

Can't we all.. get along?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
Also if anyone wants to try to best me. Setting up multiple Gmail under Gmail, only the primary is push email.

This is why I set them up with the email app so ALL of my accounts are push.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
Really right? I have not insulted anyone and he calls me dumb. Sigh...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
I just deleted the system gmail and use the mail app for gmail. Seems to work well
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
Yeah it works really well so far.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
I had a gs2 on sprint for 3 months and a iphone 4s for 3 months until i got this phone.

I didnt like touchwiz at all and ginger bread.

ICS improved the android experience, and htc sense > touchwiz by several miles lulz..

I think this phone is a keeper. Battery life is better. Streamed music on pandora for 2 hours on lte, phone will probably last till tomorrow night by my estimations :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thales74:
There's really no reason why Google/HTC couldn't write an email app that would display all the gmail controls when you are looking at your gmail account, and "normal" email controls when looking at your imap/pop/exchange account. It's not like the information is not available (you are asked when you setup the account).

What I like about the iPhone (actually, I have an iPad) mail app, is that the move email button gets turned to an archive email button.

In Sense, I like the combined inbox aspect with color coding of which account the message belongs to. Although, for some reason they changed it from the way it was in 3.0 (or where the color was kept even if you read the message), to the 4.0 (where the color bar is removed once you read the message).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DumIam:
The email issue doesn't bug me. I am a nursing supervisor and the biggest draw back of ios for me is lack of true multi tasking. Which is why my son is the proud owner of the ip4.

The mobile web pages view is so yesterday

Everyone should give the Google Chrome browser a try on both the phone and their computer at home.

It's amazing having all of my desktop web pages up on my phone and always synced

With respect to Chrome, the lack of a bookmarks icon really bothers me. I shouldn't need hit 'Menu' to access my bookmarks.

Curious to hear from people who have said that they might still get the next iPhone, but in the meantime will enjoy the One X. Aren't you annoyed by having to pay the $250 early upgrade fee this fall? Are some of you able to have said fee waived? The only thing stopping me from getting the One X right now is that I'm a big iPhone fan and I might be very tempted to get the next iPhone come fall.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brian6685:
I went into the store this morning to buy the HTC one x outright and save my upgrade in case the iPhone 5 was amazing or something. They told me they weren't allowed to sell the one x off contract for some reason...so I had to upgrade because once I saw the phone in person I had to have it :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Wait.... What?

Did you not go to an AT&T store?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brian6685:
Well I guess it wasn't a corporate store... I just didn't have the patience to leave and go somewhere else for it lol

I'm not too upset about it, I really love the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
I don't know. I'm not really impressed with the multitasking on it. I've noticed when I switch to text or email, it refreshes all the emails again. Its blank for a second or 2. Maybe its just the animation for checking emails.

But what bothers me is the text. I have a lot sadly due to work and when I switch to it once in a while, the text app would only display numbers. It'll take a few seconds for it to replace numbers with contact names. This bothers me the most.

And I agree with chrome. Its really nice. I like so far compared to HTC's
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lsxrx7:
I still hate how that "authorized att retail store" scammed you into signing a 2 yr contract that you don't want / need.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blairh:
Buying the One X off-contract or having to pay the early upgrade fee for the iPhone this fall is essentially the same thing. Amazon has it currently for $550. That's the cheapest I've seen it to date. So you either pony up an extra $350 for the phone at the start (plus activation fee) or you sign a 2 year contract now and then pay a $250 early upgrade fee this fall plus another activation fee.

The only advantage I see if you buy it off-contract now is that you can potentially switch carriers if your current contract is up this fall when the new iPhone hits the market.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brian6685:
Exactly, which was why I'm not too upset about it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] motionUS:
What's everyone think of the size? Definitely harder to use one handed than the iPhone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
I just moved from a Note. The note was too wide and awkward.

This is a pretty big jump from 3.5" for you guys, but you'll get used to it very quickly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Give handcent a try for text. And k9 for email. Remember this is android and you now have a choice. handcent is far far superior to the default text program. I hear k9 is also. I only use 2 gmail accounts so the gmail mail app is perfect for me. You can turn off the notifications for the stock ones if you decide not to use them. or ununstall them once we get root. Really a lot of the time there are better apps out there than what comes on the phone. Calendar apps is one example.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I can hold the phone in my right hand and type with my thumb. I have I think slightly larger than average hands.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Check out enhanced email.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
I'd have to say that the camera is pretty big issue for me. Not the quality of the pictures but the fact the focus doesn't work very well as it's either constantly re-focusing or not focusing at all.

Another thing I thought was weird is it has 1gb of ram but after the OS loads, it has around 700mb. 350mb is immediately taken up so that leaves 300mb-350mb (varying). Load a few apps and it drops down to around 250mb. The iPhone 4S has 512mb of ram and after loading the OS and a few apps, you have around 250mb left. To say this OS is a resource hog would be understating.

And maybe it's just me but the OS feels half built. Like it's missing something....hollow. I realize it's a new phone and due to fragmentation, it's going to take some updates to resolve some issues which is why I'm still holding onto it. I'm really trying to give Android OS a chance as I have been with Apple since the 2G.

And don't think I'm dogging on the phone as I am a lover of all technology. Just making some observations.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
The multitasking on the iPhone is abysmal. I've had this phone for a year and I despise it with all of my passion. Almost all of the apps on this phone have subpar multitasking capability. To name a few, basic apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have to reload themselves when they are redrawn from cache. The browser app refreshes itself when you switch through its tabs. This makes it mediocre at best when using websites that update themselves automatically.

It also has severe limitations that bug me from a phone.

Want to share an image/video/website to Facebook? Can't, go into the Facebook app and share it from there.

Want to disable Apple apps such as the useless Newsstand? Can't.

Want to download MP3s on your browser? Can't.

Want to make a ringtone? Can't be precise, move to a computer to create it into an m4r then use iTunes to move it.

Want to use it as file storage? Can't, download an app to allow iTunes to transfer files between computers with iTunes installed

Want to give someone a photo or ringtone through bluetooth? Can't; bluetooth does not support this feature

Want to organize your photos? Can't, everything is done through iTunes

Want to gather music files from a friend? Can't, your phone is not synced to their computer

Want to use real-time navigational GPS to get to a friend's house? Can't, you're limited to a mediocre Maps application, but your phone has the capability

Want to change the way your camera looks when taking pictures? Can't

The list goes on and on. I can't wait to get rid of this phone and go back to Android where I can have a complete smartphone experience.

Maybe you didn't run a jailbroken iPhone, but the iPhone does not have nearly all of its memory free. In fact, most of the time when I was using my iPhone there was only 80 MB of memory left in its RAM out of 512 MB.

You have never had a stock Android experience. HTC Sense is a half-built modification of Android, and many people, like myself, hate it. I'm getting the One X because of its raw power and functionality that I've come to expect from an Android phone. Once I can unlock the phone, I'll be waiting for AOSP ROMs, true Android experiences.

I hope you have a good experience with Android, I loved my HTC Evo 4G (minus the battery life).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blairh:
I understand that we all use our smartphones differently, but I have to say that I'm an iPhone user and none of these things that you list are issues to me. The only true multitasking that I do is listening to a song or podcast/radio show while potentially browsing the web or checking Twitter, etc. I'm pretty sure the few times I've made ringtones on the phone via an app that I was able to get precisely what I wanted. As for the rest, none of those things bother me.

The iPhone needs a larger screen and LTE. A better backplate would be a bonus. The rest I'm really happy with.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
I really hate that you have to use itunes for everything! That bothered me with my first three iphones as well as my first three ipads. I switched to android with the nexus one. I wouldnt trade my new ipad for 2 of any android tablet though....and i wouldnt take 5 iphones for my unlocked sensation..sooon to be HOX.. (tracking number says tomorrow) I'm a fan of both... at least untill some other os works as well on a tablet.. maybe windows 8? who knows...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
Funny that you mention about app refreshes lol...

So far I know for a fact when I switch between twitter, Facebook, and chrome, the app refreshes.

You're turning this into a heated iOS vs Android yet you can't see the differences yourself. You're Android 100% regardless. You might as well not post anymore.

Ahh I miss the Window Mobile days. Now its just fanboys and their single minded ways.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
My wife has had just about every single iPhone made. She's switching to Android for her next phone. She's away, I just got the One X...Something tells me when she gets back she'll also want one.

There is just simply no reason to have an iPhone these days anymore...And unless the next iPhone has LTE, I can't see it holding any ground.

Nothing against the iPhone or anything, I almost got one myself...But Apple's strategy of release things slowly to keep their customers giving them more money is just not going to work out in the long run. They leaves themselves open to other companies producing better technology...And eventually their super stellar marketing which has been 80% of what's kept the iPhone afloat will fail because eventual word of mouth will prevail. Android will beat out iPhone through attrition.

That said, there's PLENTY of terrible Android devices. That helps give Android itself a bad name. It's a really confusing game here. So I'm happy to see the One X really hit its mark here. Likewise, I also hope that the iPhone 5 will finally have 4G speeds too and a big boy screen. If that existed for the iPhone today...I'd have one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
Yeah I agree. The main reason I switched was for the bigger screen that's also retina/300dpi and LTE.

I get about 15mb at home and 40-55mb at work ;)

I'm loving the browsing speed!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mactruck:
Wow I just left my iPhone 4s at the gas station bathroom and as I sped off it ran after the car crying.

This One X is amazing. I don't even care what apple comes out with, it isn't going to be this good and even if it is for some reason it won't have a file system so see ya apple.

My whole family is using iphones. Biggest problem I had was getting off of iMessage. All the texts kept going nowhere until I tried everything in the planet to get it off nothing worked then a few hrs later bamm success.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
Oh it was jailbroken. I had a lot of stuff on it and if I cleared out the memory, I would have around 225-250. The HTC One X isn't even rooted or have that much installed and it's at 250. Like I said, not dissing the phone. Just an observation.

I'm still using my iPhone 4S and the One X. At least for now. I am just bored with iOS. I sometimes joke and say for customization all I can do with the iPhone is change the wallpaper and make folders of apps.

Pros and cons for all though. Besides the One X my other device is the LTE Galaxy Nexus. Im not sure which Android device I will use yet.

Loving the phone this far having come from an iPhone 4. For email I use moxier both on my galaxy tab 10.1 and on my HTC one x.

Using moxier is great, html emails work perfectly and my corporate exchange settings don't muff up the phone (mandatory passcodes).

I agree however and I love my one X but still use my iPhone as a "iPod" for podcasts and as much as I hate to say it the app store is vastly superior to the Google Play store.

Damn, was hoping the camera was at least as good as the 4s :(. Hoping the next flagship is better... at least HTC caught up with design.

What do you guys have to say about web browsing in terms of battery life? Like how much time do you get before you lose 1% on wifi, 3g, and LTE?

Was saying the 4s > one x. Wish the one x was better. Based on comparisons from anandtech, gsm arena, and http://www.todaysiphone.com/2012/04/iphone-4s-vs-htc-one-x-camera-comparison/.

Battery life stuff is to see how close we are to catching up to the iphone in terms of web browsing. Had a gsii, could get only 4 hours off of web browsing before phone died, moved to the one x cause anandtech said battery life was on par with the 4s when web browsing.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

hit thanks trying to quote you... haha, oh well. uh how about how long can you browse the web before the phone dies. so like if you're browsing the internet for 6 hours straight, would the phone last? Don't quite trust the anandtech review and gsmarena only has the international version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aldiggi:
Guys please nothing personal I really love the phone.... I just expected more from the camera department. Yes it has more features but the picture quality inconsistency is something I hope HTC can fix.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] louis.b:
The camera of the HOX rivals Iphone 4s. This is the common consensus of major reviewers.

The Iphone 4s only looks better than the S2. Both are far from beautiful or fashionable in my opinion. The white version looks slightly better but still outdated IMO.
