[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
This is what Samsung was hoping to win over the crowd with. They added new features that are more gimmicks than anything. Yes, Samsung phones recently have been lag free and toichwiz is improved, but there's a certain comfort and excitement that comes with using the one x. It's like HTC thought of all the little things they could do to make the user experience whole.

Example: Samsung touts that if you hold the phone up to your ear when looking at a contact it'll call them. Most of my contacts have multiple numbers, so that's useless.

But with HTC sense just today I discovered that in my exchange calender invite reminder there is a call icon that had automatically parsed the invite for the call number AND pass code allowing me to call in without trying to remember numbers. That to me is huge and makes my day much easier. Or when the ringer quiets when I pick up the phone. There's many more examples. That's what I see as a great user experience.

Yes, there are some quirks with the one x experience now but I am confident we will see quick updates. After waiting for months and months for Samsung in the past I'm not as confident in their updates.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] barondebxl:
Of course at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference. But there's a reason why Samsung sold so many SGS2 last year. It offers the best overall package. Again, the one x design is the best on any smartphone ever in my opinion, and the display is very good. The S3 design isn't ugly by the way like some say, it's "ok" but it isn't something new that's why it's a little disappointing, it looks like the T-mobile Galaxy S2. But when I buy a smartphone, I'm looking at what is gonna give me the best user experience. I don't buy it just cause of the looks and the display. Sense is a beautiful skin, but even though 4.0 was toned down it still is too much in some areas. If the one x had a decent battery life, was lag free and sense wasn't reloading when you exit an app every now and then, there would be no doubt that it would be the superior phone. But after the major success of the S2 and it's AWESOME user experience, the S3 can only be better with its updated specs and it's decent design. Not anything new like the one x but still, pretty nice I think.

There are several things that Samsung introduced with the S3 that are more intuitive than what you just mentioned. For example the eye tracking technology is brilliant. No more need to wake your phone every time you reading something and the screen goes dark. Double tap the top of the phone will scroll back to the top of any scrollable page, very nice. Those are the kinda things that add to user experience.

this. i'm exchanging because there are marks on phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
There's actually a couple. Samsung has much broader and deeper carrier relationships all over the world and that helps them sell a lot more phones. The SGS2 absolutely trounced the Sensation and, at a similar price, people would have to have been diehard HTC fans to have picked the Sensation. The One X and SGS3 are a much closer race. And a lot of the "features" on the SGS3 are sexy but pretty gimmicky. How many people used the listen feature in Vlingo on the SGS2? S-Voice is that on steroids.

I had a i9100 and liked TW. Samsung does a great job at supplementing OS features and integrating them seamlessly. But if was far from lag free. Using the exact same apps the same way on the One X it is far more fluid. I haven't used Sense before so can't comment vs. the Sensation but other than the secondary weather animations being jaggy I haven't seen any hint of chronic lag.

There are four things that separate the phones:

1) The Display - The jury is still out on the SGS3 display. It's PenTile which matters to some and not others. Tests show it to be brighter than the GN (thank God) but not as bright as the SGS2 or G-Note. The One X is considerably brighter. Samsung has as many or more display consistency issues as HTC so differences between individual devices (QC) will be a draw. SAMOLED vs. LCD2 is personal preference.

2) Fixed Storage and a Non-Replaceable Battery - That will automatically disqualify the One X for some people.

3) Design - Without commenting, the amount of discussion regarding the SGS3's appearance speaks for itself. People will end up making buying decisions because of it.

4) Performance - There's no doubt the SGS3 will be king of the benchmarks. That'll matter to some but those that are practical will realize that the OS and apps we're currently using make differences in performance at that high a level almost meaningless.

Samsung fans will automatically buy the SGS3. HTC fans will go with the One X. The one’s in the middle will have to choose what matters to them most.

couldnt have said it better.

also the gs2 sold so much mostly because it was actually and attractive form factor as well as a very nice looking device in general. at least thats mine and all of my buddies who still rock a gs2 think.

honestly i much prefer the styling and size of the gs2 compared to the gs3. i was super SUPER amped about the gs3 announcement...i was looking forward to a super spec'd out gs2....but...sadly i was let down.

and with most of the new advancements being "features" i lost almost all interest. so i began looking at the HOX...and was won over by the style and design...and apparently a damn good camera. if it wasnt the hox id probably stock with a gs2 until the next wave of flagships came about...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
I waited for the reveal of the s3 and soon made my decision. That phone is hideous. I definitely don't regret my decision to get the one x.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Developement will be about the same on both devices too so you aren't loosing out....this is the first time that we are getting a Galaxy not compatible with International firmware....if the GS3 was the same as the international it would have been more of a consideration for me.....I never run native bases....this is the biggest dagger to me period.

killing is my business, And business is good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
I'm getting one to play with and compare. I originally got the One X so I could sell my i9100 before the SGS3 came out and get more for it. It was always my intention to sell the One X after I got the SGS3. But after using it I really like it.

Without starting a debate, I'm not a fan of the way the SGS3 looks. I particularly dislike that it's glossy and that all the sensors and lenses (and there are quite a few) are so visible. I'm not a fan of white phones and medium blue is an interesting choice as a single alternative. For me to keep it the display will have to be really impressive as I think the One X's is fantastic. I'm fine with the fixed storage and non-replaceable battery so what's left is how it looks in person and the actual user experience. I'm not concerned about benchmarks. It's good to have choices. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] barondebxl:
I absolutely agree on everything you said except comparing the S2 and the one x fluidity, I do agree that the one x is more fluid but you're comparing last years phone to now so it isn't really a fair comparison. The S2 last year slaughtered every other phone on the market in terms of fluidity ( except maybe the iPhone) so lets wait till the GS3 comes out to see how the one x compare to it. But you nailed everything else. Ive said it a million times but I wanna emphasize it again: the HTC ONE X, in my opinion, is the best looking phone ever made ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung does a much better job than HTC when it comes to tuning the OS to the h/w and leveraging h/w acceleration. Browser performance is especially good on Samsung devices. Case in point is the performance differences of Samsung and HTC devices that were both using the same S3-based internals. You'd think by now HTC would just hire some of Samsung s/w engineers and be done with it.

Part of the reason for lag has nothing to do with power and is really due to the OS. You'll find this article interesting. It's by a Google engineer and she explains graphics rendering in the OS. It sort explains where lag comes from.

True again. Unfortunately I can't see the link you provided me cause my iPad crashes when I click on it :confused:. But yeah in the past, people always criticized qualcomm because of their poor SOC performance particularly on HTC device. But I realized that qualcomm wasn't making HTC look bad, it's actually HTC that made Qualcomm look bad because if their poor engineering like you said. Still I do sound like I'm a HTC hater, I'm far from it. In fact I plan on buying the one x maybe a month from now and keep it along side my soon to be in my hands, already preordered Galaxy S3. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Yeah that is not helping samsungs case though.....the TW coming in the S3 is thicker than it ever has been and full of features that are running all the time.....S voice and all this crap.

On a side note if I didn't think Samsung was dropping the ball before this is just a disgusting embarrassment ......they should be ashamed of themselves.

I had the original galaxy s2 and it put a bad taste in my mouth that they released 2 phones after I got my phone within monthes and only had 1 update with the phone the time I had the phone, because I hated the display with a passion I sold it and bought an iPhone and now happy with my HTC. I'll never go back to Samsung phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] King Shady:
I was a faithful Samsung fanboy and loved my international GSII. That being said, after Samsung announced their bull**** GSIII I went right ahead to get my One X. Best purchase ever... Most beautiful device I've ever seen in my life
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
I greatly prefer HTC Sense to Touchwiz. In many ways Sense rivals iOS in terms of polish and the beauty of the UI. And I LOOOOVE all of the built in widgets, lock screens, and other customization options. Am I the only one who finds Touchwiz ugly as hell? Most of the styling still looks like Gingerbread which was never good to begin with. I also think it's counterproductive to have a physical edit button when apps are being updated to include that in the UI.

I find myself enjoying the One X more with each passing day. The screen is so damn good compared to AMOLED Pentile and the build quality is just amazing. Saying build quality and design don't matter on a phone is like saying you don't care how your car looks. It may not be the most important factor, but good design definitely makes the overall experience seem more premium.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FrameCityJackal:
These phones are how I make my money. Entry to mid level phones for Sprint sell a lot where I work. Very few people buy top of the line phones unless they aren't from around there, a drug dealer, or a scam us.

I was excited about the S3 still am, but I think the Evo LTE(One X) wil be a better choice at least for right now but I am however afraid of Sprint's horrid 3G.

There is a new LG phone coming out in Korea soon I'm excited about that I doubt at least AT&T or Sprint will get.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
I understand your point....I was more alluding to the absolute hijack of a HTC design.....this same lack of creativeness is why the SGS³ looks like they put the Note and the Nexus in a blender and said...."ehh.....whatever"....to me the Captivate and the SGSII had this nice sleek design....almost sexy.....now they dumped a 250 pound fat chick on more doorstep and expect me to spoon with her.....not gonna happen.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] filthyfnj24:
Hardly, the one x was the first phone I knew I HAD to have since my Nokia E71. You know those phones you see on (insert favorite tech website here) and from the moment you lay eyes on it you obsess over it until its in your hands? That was the one x for me. I absolutely love the design of the phone. Despite a few minor caveats (no micro SD, top power button) I'd venture to call this phone perfect from a hardware standpoint. With Android it's really all about hardware IMO. Software is easy to change, hardware is not. To me the s3 looks tacky and cheap. Regardless of the specs I know I can't live with a cheap feeling plastic phone...looking at you Atrix...8 months was all I could take. Now then, unlock my boot loader, give me some aokp goodness and we're set til the next lust worthy device comes along :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Nah after buying this phone I've forgotten about all other phones on the market. This is the first android phone that is on par with iPhone fluidity and stability right out of box. I'm sure it'll hold its own very well against all the rest of the phones that come out for awhile.

My mobile its a Omnia II (PDA I8000LNVCIK2, CSC I8000LCTIIK2, WM 6.5 CE 5.2.21863 -Build 21863.5.0.67-) and need a fix for avoid the lost of the email settings account, because those dissapear many times in this year, in fortuitous mode and the only way for restore the accounts settings is run the backup file of PIM's made with the SPB Backup. :mad:

Thank's for the attention. :)

Did you try to host your emails externaly so you can lost them 4times a day your wifi will sync them back right away.

Also dissapear is not clear, in what context ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hottschott:
Hi Guys,

I know this is completely against your religion, and i deserve a good hazing, but honestly I just want to be pointed into the right direction. Yes I have searched for terms and read some guides but I am a five year old with this phone/forum. Can someone tell me where to start with getting my att g note running better than the crappy firmware att dumps on it?

Do you root it first? then load a rom? im on a mac, is this possible? Is there a way i can make a "save state" of my current setup and be able to revert back to it if all hell breaks loose?

Please, please be gentle. Im too lazy/busy/retarded to try and start from scratch and learn this whole process, just want someone to hold my hand and tell me what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
re

First root,

then install CWM (clock work mod). With this, you can basically create a screenshot of every single file and how it was place. so if you do a backup and brick the phone you can do a restore and it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Next I would go for a Custom Rom / OC Kernel. This is where you use odin. If you reach this point search the forum a bit more and you will find your answers.

good luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hottschott:
Ok Got the terminology down. New problem. Im on a mac, no access to a pc. Is there not a mac version of odin? What do mac users do? I see this other software called heimdall, but the general consensus im seeing is "f*** heimdall".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
heimdall does not work as of now on this phone; I used it constantly on my previous phone, but, its a no go on this one

I am too an all mac house, and, the only way to root this phone as of now is via Odin, and, there is no mac version of Odin

you have to either get hold of a windows pc, or, install windows on your mac via boot camp, or, run Parallels or VMWare on your mac, install windows on it that way, then install and run Odin to root your phone.

If you don't understand what I just said, then you shouldn't even be attempting this; maybe you live near someone who is more phone adept than yourself, and can do it for you?

After you get setup.

You might want to get this...

Ics roms if u r a new guy id stay away from unless u know how to freeze apps with tb my fav is saurom 7.1 over the collectives emily thats my current rom its buttery smooth..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
Have you purchased an external sd card yet? That definitely makings things easier. I didn't have one initially and every time I flashed a ROM I kept erasing all the backup data I had. Now I keep it on the external sd card so that doesn't happen.

I love Saurom Rom, but now I just moved over to Team Perfection ICS Rom and for me it works flawlessly.

Both Saurom and ICS produce roughly the same Quadrant Benchmark scores, and with Saurom you can over clock. My goal was to eliminate any lagg, and both will do that for you.

I've been at this for a month now and have learned quite a bit on this forum. Definitely spend some time on the Noob section .

Saurom apparently is a Canadian based ROM, and because of that, certain apps were not available to me in the app store because of that. The ICS ones didn't produce that issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I believe there are only 3 or 4 ics roms out now for this phone, so its pretty simple to try them all and decide from there...

I have a hard time answering when someone asks whats the "best rom", since we all have different criteria for what we consider 'the best"

Hello,

I'm reduced to open a thread in order to get some help...

I have a HTC Desire HD which is stuck at HTC green bootscreen. This phone used the mod RCMix 4.0 Runny for some months and yesterday morning when I wanted to turn on I get a little surprise. It freeze at the HTC screen (HTC green on a white background)

I tried to use the Bootloader to use the Recovery starting the phone with Power + vol down. Unfortunately I obtain the same behaviour (HTC bootscreen)

So I search on several forums some help. I found some advises as this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396253) The PD98IMG.zip is correctly (seems to be...) installed, nevertheless when arrives the reboot I obtain the same behaviour.

I tried several RUU (RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.1_Radio_12.21.60.12_26.02.00.09_M_test_148662.exe, RUU_Ace_H3G_UK_1.37.771.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_158897_signed.exe or RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed.exe), always the same behaviour.

I found a lot of guides using adb nevertheless as I cannot start the phone, I cannot be in USB debugging.

I found also guide which use fastboot to flash the recovery. Nevertheless, I am in S-OFF (without ENG) and I always obtain a message as remote: not allowed

Currently I'm with the following parameters :

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.00.0027

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
