[HTC One X] kamui957:
I'm looking over in different threads talking about defects in the phone and what not. I'm not usually superstitious, but without fail I've had to replace every smartphone I've ever owned at least once. (iPhone 3GS went twice, Evo went 5 times, MyTouch went once, Amaze went once, Sensation went twice, One S went once, would have gone back again but T-Mobile let me out of my contract and I sent it back) I should note that every time I've listed was for defects. My friends can't believe my track record with smartphones... but I love my phones all the same. I especially enjoy my HTC phones.

So to make a long story short (too late) I'm considering the One X because I have to switch back to AT&T after a long hiatus. Sadly no choice in this as its for work. I have the choice of getting a One X International edition from EBay, Craigslist or the marketplace here and have my 32gb of storage, Tegra 3 for gaming and an unlockable bootloader, but must contend with the possible absence of enforceable warranty since it IS imported...

OR

I can swallow my pride as an IT guy... and go for the local varient.

With its only 16gb of storage (only 10 really useable in my experience with the Amaze).

With its S4 chip (nice, but I do like me some Tegra 3 exclusives.......)

And its Warranty that I can go to one of several local corp stores and have enforced. Our local stores are actually pretty decent.

I don't want to have to own several devices to get the experience I want. I really want to go with the International version for the gaming library open to the Tegra 3, such as Dark Meadow. I know some games end up getting ports or hacks to allow play on other devices... but I like things to "just work" sometimes without too much hassle. I have to deal with hassle day in and day out with my job, I like my devices to be toys once I get home, not more work.

So... yeah. Thoughts?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
You can buy it from an authorized dealer in the UK and it comes with a two-year warranty. I just sent an SGS2 to the UK for repair and Samsung paid to ship it to them and I had to pay 10GBP to have it shipped back. I got my One X from Handtec and it arrived overnight via FedEx. If you buy from Negri or Expansys-USA you can send it to them if it needs repair and they ship it to their overseas affiliates who deal with HTC locally. It takes a lot longer though because of all the hand-offs. SquareTrade also covers grey market phones and if you Google it they're having a 30% off deal for Mother's Day. Buying from Handtec or Clove in the UK assures you'll get a UK (EU) handset. Negri and Expansys have been shipping Malaysian units. Also with the international version you'll get updates directly from HTC, a lot of features AT&T removed (HTC apps, CloudDrive integration), and none of AT&T's crapware. It doesn't matter if you're rooting and ROM'ing. I can't use use non-standard ROMs because I travel overseas a lot so I always get my phones from the UK.
[HTC One X] kamui957:
Is there a hardware or software or build quality difference between the Malaysian and EU handsets?

The main reason I'm wondering is because VAT seems so high. I mean, I go from a phone that's just over $600 to a phone thats well over $700... That extra $100 is not appetizing at all really.

I don't do a lot of traveling, I just prefer the international version of this phone to the AT&T variant because it feels like AT&T gave us a worse phone for the same price...

I do tend to root and rom, but having the stock rom without clutter gives me more time to enjoy the phone without having to replace anything.

In the end though I guess what I need to know on the international front is if there is a real difference between the Asian and European One X International or if its just the rom that comes on it (which I guess I can just flash the european rom if its just a software thing)

Edit:

Just checked Handtec and VAT doesn't apply since its being shipped outside the UK via FedEx. At least not according ot everything from before I press "buy"

Shipping does raise it to 630 though compared ot the 609 + free shipping...

So I guess it still stands with the Malaysian vs EU phone differences.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I don't think there are any physical differences; they're all built in the same place. If you're not going to root and replace the ROM, get the UK phone. The Asian phones have Asian english where the UK phones have UK english. Neither have U.S. english out of the box.
[HTC One X] kamui957:
Would you say the UK phone would be easier to get warranty serviced than an asian one through Expansys?

As for the english, I will be rooting and romming eventually, but I could live with UK english easier than Asian english...

Wow, I've never used a phone where my finger glided so easily across the screen, its also the brightest and most vibrant display I've ever used

Point of this thread? I don't know, enjoy

[HTC One X] mike21pr:
Agreed. Love how the screen feels when gliding finger. Especially on the edges where you feel the smooth curved sides. HTC gets an A+ on this phone designwise in all aspects imo
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Yeah agreed. I like sliding my finger off the edge to feel that beveled edge.
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I like it, but it's like holding a wet bar of soap sometimes :sly:

[HTC One X] otarinz:
I do this all the time. The "labs" feature in the stock browser which lets you bring up the context menus by sliding your thumb on the edge of the screen is one of my favourite things about the phone.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
Haha it's so true. I recently used my Desire again (my brother is using it now, poor lad!) - it just feels wrong.
[HTC One X] GeoMil:

[HTC One X] HoboTheLegend:
Another brilliant thing about the screen is that it hardly retains fingerprints. No need to use a matte screen protector imo.
[HTC One X] phil112345:
you mean f@#ked like this? :mad:

(fyi the case wasn't on when i dropped it..!)
[HTC One X] shadehh:
GOD! This is something i am so scared offffff. I remember when i brought my galaxy s when it was considered one of the better ones, i dropped it in the first week a few times already. My HTC One X i'm taking care of it like it were a device that's pumping blood into my veins. I've taken good care of it so far, at least when it comes to being dropped. But accidents happen, so i can just try my best to avoid it. Despite having watched out very carefully, there are a few scratches that are hardly noticeable when the screen is on. But it annoys the living hell out of me. I'm going to probably buy a screen protector and a case today. The last thing i want is my so far favorite phone ever held to look like it's been worn out.

Why the fudger do we not have flashable basebands? I've always wondered this, as I've seen other phones have flashable ones. And I've never seen any to the point answer here, I did search too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr. Apocalypse:
NVIDIA & LG, sure, but not Obama!!! Can't blame it on the black guy!! ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
We could have flashable basebands if someone would figure out how to modify the P990 flash memory writing utility to do it. The .kdz file contains the baseband, the RIL, Android, etc. for the phone. The code which supervises the flashing is in the Star_Model.dll which I've decompiled and looked at and it has a specificinternal file number (Magic Number????), A123 (the P990 is A111) which works with the flasher .exe. It may be possible to fool Paul O'Brian's flashing utility for the P990 to flash the P999 by changing the P999 Star_Model.dll internal file number from A123 to A111.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
I can and will blame everything on Obama. Not because he's black, but because he is useless just like LG. :P

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
I got a call from my local target store, they informed me my phone was in [its sunday :D] however when I went in everything checked out fine. But the guy handling my transfer to my new phone showed me, ATT is requiring me to drop my unli data "grandfathered" plan and swap to the highest data plan they have. Now I could care less, Its like 5gbs or whatever. I maybe hit 2 [maybe] when tethering for a month. BUT. I'd rather pay the 20-30$ I do now for unlimited data then more or less, for limited data. They simply wouldn't allow me to move on. Im guessing its because There hasn't been 4G in my area [i give it 10 years till ATT considers getting full 3G here, first] but they are requiring me to upgrade [downgrade in my opinion] my plan to one of their data-set plans. Now I hate the idea that when I "upgrade" my phone, I have to change my plan. And basically, I refuse to lose my unlimited data to any better mobile phone than mine currently. I call shenanigans.

soo.... My question is [i believe i saw a thread here before but couldn't find it], Can I call ATT and find a reliable rep who will ensure my account keeps its unlimited data, am i screwed by swapping to this newer phone?.

For some background, 4/7/11 Is when I hopped on this railroad of funness. And my data plan is; Smart Choice Data - originating from Alltel USA (state, Montana).

Any and all help/advice would be nice. I'd rather not go for something less than I had my eyes set on.

&& If theres already a post about this [that i couldn't find] please direct me to it :]
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cheeze[iT]:
Yes I'm on the one x with unlimited data. It can be done don't listen to their crap non sense;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
:o How did that work out with you? Did you have them activate the sim in store or no? Because to get specific; I upgraded my phone to keep my plan. Im going from a sim card [fitting in the xperia 10] which doesn't have 4G/LTE.

I thought for sure they'd have to handle it there to extend my plan, but I didnt think they have to activate my SIM card there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artimus009:
I'm on it too...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
If your data plan is truely grandfathered in, you get to keep it when you upgrade. However, typically it can be done only via AT&T's own retail or online sites. 3rd party retailers like Target doesn't have the access to keep your unlimited data plan but some know how to keep it somehow.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
call att to reinstate it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
This. Just say it was removed without your consent or knowledge.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
Or just buy the phone from a sales rep over the phone. If you're out of contract and say you'd really like a better price, they have a table of prices they're allowed to offer based on how long you've been with them and your FAN# (if applicable). Definitely cheaper than 200.

Oh, and they won't change your plan around that way.

sassafras
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hotrod2067:
Call at&t and tell them what's going on they told me it would be added back in when I called. The system was jacked up and would not let me activate it so they had to manually activate it which took it away. I will see this week if they can add it back in. If not I will no longer be an att customer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
I pre-ordered it through targets electronic section. So at the time it was 150 [50$ preorder] then 100 when it came in. However the sticker price said 179, AND the rep in store [was new there] told me Its going to be even cheaper than that pre-order price. I'll just call tomorrow when I go in there from one of their phones and sit on the phone with them [hopefully] while my info gets transferred over so they can change it asap.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cheeze[iT]:
I usually do my data changes over the phone then call back to confirm. This time best buy did it for me, I just kept confirming that I had best buy and that it will remain untouched...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tankmetal:
I have the unlimited data plan too. I just picked up my one x today at the att store. They switched it over no problem. My advice is go to your local att store and ask to have your plan unlimited plan reactivated or call.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
Alright, so to anyone who might care [mod can close this now] I called AT&T and the guy I talked to said he'll put in a case for me saying I need my unli-data grandfathered over and they'll call me later this evening after they know i've picked up the phone [to verify I actually got it] and it'll get switched back. The guy also said pick whatever data plan they give me because it can all be changed.

So that worked out. :p.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Hi all,

I'd like to get an smaller onscreen keyboard that doesn't take up half of the screen. This would allow me see more at a glance. Currently I hide/unhide the keyboard when I want to see more, but that is annoying because half the time when you unhide the keyboard, it covers up the part of the document you want to edit.

I've found SlideIT keyboard which lets you resize the keyboard, which is pretty cool.

It has a Swype like function as well as normal tap. The swype like functions works pretty well, but it doesn't seem as good as Swype in terms of picking the correct word. I think this is partially an accuracy thing (you have to be more accurate with SlideIt) and also there are quite a few common words that haven't been in the dictionary (but I've been adding them as they occur, so this should reduce over time).

Does anyone know of any other keyboards that aren't as big as the stock keyboard?

I'm in the 15 day trial of Slide IT, so if I don't find another, I'll probably end up getting this one.

thanks,

Rich

Thumb keyboard lets you alter the height and width, but no swype function. I've been using TK for almost 2 years. Developer is very responsive.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dets34:
I believe swiftx keyboard allows you to change the height and width of keys
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Thanks guys very helpful. Neither of those keyboards say that you can resize them in their market descriptions, which is why I didn't try them before.

I liked Swiftkey the best out of the 2. The word prediction is pretty amazing in Swiftkey. I could be incredibly sloppy with my typing and it still picked the right word most of the time.

It does require thumb typing to be fast though, and I realised that most of the time I hold my phone cradled in one hand and then use the other to swype or tap out words with 1 or 2 fingers or the SPen.

I like the word prediction of Swiftkey, but the input method and smaller keyboard size of SlideIT... I'll keep trying both of those for a bit longer before deciding...

Cheers,

Rich
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Smart Keyboard is also an option. You can customize it in various ways. Among others you have the possibility to adapt the size of the keys and therefore the entire keyboard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Thanks. I like that you can get Smart Keyboard to take up less screen space than Swiftkey.

But I think I like the word prediction on Swift Key better.

And I still think swiping is quicker for me, although the SlideIT keyboard is not as good as the Samsung Swype for word prediction and being lenient on how accurate your swipe path needs to be.
