The multitasking is a deal breaker for me, if in next 20 days it's not going to get fixed as much as I'd love to keep it, I'll be forced to return this phone... HTC btw is refusing acknowledge that the problem even exists...

OH MY GOD! (this is the larger font available, can't get any bigger...)

I'm about to hummer a nail through that thing, it's sitting on my table right now. I've been unfortunate owner of that piece of **** for 4 month, the phone can't even be called a joke, otherwise it would be a compliment to it.

I was going to sell it on craigslist, but unfortunately I wont be able look in the eyes of the sucker who decide to buy it, I'll have to ebay it..

The gorgeous screen (which by the way is fingerprint magnet) will eat phone's battery in 2.5 hours. If you use GPS and/or data such as streaming music, it will eat battery in 2.5 hours, if you do anything on that phone, it might last you at most 6 hours. Just sitting here with no sim card, but connected to wifi it lasts only 24 hours, with screen off all these 24 hours.

If you get that phone, make sure you have 3 or 4 batteries with you at all times.

HTC One X with all it's cons is beyond perfect compare to Nitro HD, if someone would pay me to use Nitro, I'd NOT go for it.

Luckily I hadn't decided to buy it lol.

Deciding between this phone, the SGSIII, or waiting until the fall. However the One X isn't even a real consideration until the bootloader gets unlocked and the multitasking issues get resolved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PattyWagon915:
This week was the first week I've actually contemplated returning it. multitasking is a pain and ofcourse the locked bootloader. I'm just dreading that it's gonna take awhile to unlock bootloader and when that happens the dev community fizzle downs. The reason I'm a diehard android fan is because of the dev community, awesome phones like the HOX dont deserve to be strapped down. :/ Sad to see this phone go but multitasking made it official once I downloaded all my games that I play regularly. Guess that's the price u pay for the phone to last throughout a complete work day.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nino313:
Just returned my HOX yesterday and picked up a gsm galaxy nexus. Locked bootloader + multitasking issue were dealbreakers for me. Nexus is serving all my needs plus some
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] doin-it:
I feel ya, coming from an Inspire as well. Im gonna give it the 30 days & hopefully a break through for the unlock will occur by then, if not its going back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] co.ag.2005:
I just ordered the GSM galaxy nexus yesterday to compare. I want to keep the one x but I have the same issues as you.

If I were able to run AOKP or CM9 on the HOX, I would definitely be keeping it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
If you would do a thorough comparison and post your findings I'd appreciate it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bothfly:
The crappy camera of the GNex is why I don't have it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] everix:
The bugs are disappointing and the locked bootloader sucks but the stock phone is fast enough that it doesn't matter. I'm keeping mine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xdp:
Thanks for posting this! I'm in the exact same boat. Want the One X but refuse to buy a locked bootloader device on contract, plus the multitasking issues. I've been considering the Nexus for $400 from the Play Store, and maybe selling it this fall when the new Nexus phone(s) come out.

My concerns:

1) Is PenTile really that crappy compared to HOX screen?

2) Is the camera that bad?

3) Is it laggy still or can I expect the same kind of smoothness the HOX delivers?

Please let me know your impressions of any of the above things! Would really help me make a decision. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phositadc:
I received a galaxy nexus yesterday after having used my AT&T One X for the previous 10 days. Unless a very effective bug fix is pushed out by AT&T/HTC in the next week or so, the One X is going back.

-Gnex is substantially better at multitasking. It behaves as expected, unlike the One X.

-Gnex wifi works. One X has all sorts of issues, as widely reported.

-Gnex push email works. One X has all sorts of issues, as widely reported.

-Gnex feels better in the hand because it is slightly less wide.

-One X has better screen. But, let's be honest, the Gnex screen is pretty darn good too. Read reviews. When it first came out, everybody was saying the Gnex screen was one of the best they'd ever seen, despite it being pentile. It's an excellent screen. The One X screen is slightly better... but wouldn't you expect it to be for being a 6-month newer device?

-Honestly, for smoothness/speed, they feel about the same to me (probably because Gnex is not bogged down with Sense).

If wifi and push email worked on the One X, I would never have even considered picking up a Gnex. But when such basic functions as wifi and push email do not work properly, I am forced to look elsewhere, and, so far, the Gnex has not disappointed. To anybody else having the myriad bugs of the One X, I recommend picking up a Gnex from the play store.

Edit: to respond to some direct questions from above. I don't find the Gnex to be laggy at all. As mentioned above, it feels pretty much the same as the One X. It's hardware might not be quite as powerful, but it is not bloated down with Sense. To me, this is a wash -- they are essentially the same.

As for camera, One X is better. Not night and day better, but noticeably better. Gnex pics are typically fine/decent; One X pics are typically good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
i think you guys are jumping the gun a bit quick here. ever heard the phrase patience is a virtue?

since the new unofficial update rolled out, i haven't noticed any detrimental bugs on the device, esp with wifi. i left my data connection off for the first 4hrs after updating and only used wifi...not one single hitch like before. here and there the Message app will flash on screen, but that hasn't had any type of ill effects while i'm messaging someone. i'd love to know what all these so called issues are that are being reported. i currently don't use push email with my work account.

pretty much the only arguments i see my old GNex having is the multitasking (i personally never used this before) and it did indeed feel better in my hand. there's slight banding on my GNex though. couple that with a worse camera in comparison and slow data speeds...and also worse SoC. it shouldn't even be a contest. the bootloader will get unlocked eventually and the multitasking issue will be gone, for those that do use it, when stock ROMs drop. just need to be a little patient guys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Why buy a phone and have to wait for a hack to make it run correctly? Why not just buy a phone that works like it should?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UnknownPleasures:
Then why did you buy it in the first place?

I'm going to stick it out with the One X instead of running back to the GNex.

I'd rather have the LTE and this screen, I can wait for CM9 or AOKP. It will come, I'm sure in less than a month.

I have plenty of faith in the devs.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
The HOX screen is beautiful, but the Nexus screen isn't exactly a huge downgrade. It's great in its own way and pentile is not even noticeable. In my experience, the camera isn't bad at all. It's not iPhone 4s good, but it's definitely not horrible. Detail is good. Low-light performance suffers, but to be honest, my testing of the HOX didn't show that camera to be all that. It was good, but not so much better than the Nexus that I had to keep it and live with its problems.

The Nexus is buttery smooth all the time. No lag at all and things just work on it. I have had no issues with crashing, no restarts, no weird bugs.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phositadc:
Jumping the gun because I'm dissatisfied that a phone I bought has broken wifi and broken push email? I think not. I could live with the multitasking issue if that were the only one. But as I said above, wifi and push email are extremely basic and essential functions of a smartphone. If a smartphone can't get those right, it's not the right phone for me.

I agree with you on hardware. It's not even a contest. That's why I said if the One X actually functioned as it was supposed to, I never would have considered replacing it. But due to wifi, push email, and multitasking, I did have to consider it, and turns out the Gnex hardware is pretty darn good, too.

Whether or not you personally experience the wifi and push email bugs means nothing to me. If you don't, that's great. I wish I didn't either. But I do, and there is no official fix. I refuse to flash a leaked "fix" (that some people have reported does not even fix the wifi issue, btw) that could make it impossible for me to return the phone. If they push out an official fix, I will certainly apply it.

I agree that patience is a virtue. But we shouldn't have to be patient for certain basic, essential functions of the device to work properly.

If you bought a phone and voice calls didn't work, would you be patient and wait weeks or months for a fix? You wouldn't if voice calls were important to you. Wifi and push email are important to me. No jumping of the gun is going on in here. These are things that should work.

In any event, lots of people in this thread have asked for comparisons of OneX to Gnex, so I provided that. I apologize if it offended you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
If I had known that the bootloader was locked and multitasking was broken I probably would have bought the gnex. I don't have lte here and nobody knows when it is coming.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
I bought it because not a single review mentioned anything about how horrible the multitasking was. I bought it because I didn't know that my e-mails would be coming in delayed. I bought it because I expected the Wifi to work correctly. Any more intelligent questions?

LTE is nice, but AT&T HSPA+ is fast enough where I live that I don't notice a difference. I'd rather have a phone that runs correctly, even if the hardware is SLIGHTLY inferior. I certainly wouldn't buy a HOX just to wait to put Cyanogenmod on it. That's stupid, especially with a locked bootloader. Great. Enjoy using a broken phone until someone finds a workaround.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nino313:
1) HOX screen is better but the nexus screen isn't terrible by any means. I prefer dark themes and the ICS on it is beautiful

2) not a big picture taker but the camera is fine for my needs.

3) I'm running APEX rom on mines and its smooth as butter. Battery life has also been better for me than the HOX.

I know the hardware on the HOX is superior in almost every way but as far as usability, the nexus wins that crown for me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UnknownPleasures:
Yeah thats fair.

I MAY pick up a GNex from the Play Store, but thats only because I think there is a chance that it MAY get Jelly Bean after I/O.

Probably not, but we can always dream. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I think the gnex will get jellybean the nexus s got ICS right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
This isn't a good comparison. For one, all but the multi-tasking issues have been confirmed to be solved (or at least much better) in the update. Second, there are so many more features built into the HTC phone than you have with the GNex. Let me put it another way - if the wifi and push email issues are enough to push you to the Gnex and like the Gnex, then the HOX was not the phone for you in the first place. However, some readers may have not had the HOX in hand to see the loads of features that are added on top of base android gives them. For example, I love the added features in the email/exchange support. I can wait for wifi to be fixed, but I won't permanently give up those email features to get a working wifi before HTC does on the HOX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
What update? The one the International version got but then the next day htc said that multitasking on the us version was working as intended? Anything happening on the international version means nothing on this section of xda.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
Lol people on here saying the one x camera is only a bit better than the gnex. Did i own the same phones as you guys??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UnknownPleasures:
Yes, I meant there might be a chance that it got it before the next Nexi were released.

It will get it for sure, just who knows when it will be officially pushed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phositadc:
Dude, there is no update. Those of us experiencing issues do not want to run an unofficial, leaked update, that may prevent us from returning our phones.

If there's an official OTA update to which you are referring, then I stand corrected.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
wait til the Fall supposedly the play store will have several nexus models to choose from.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

the leaked 1.82 update doesn't fix multitasking anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Multi tasking isn't broken. You just have to tweak it to your liking. Android central had an article about how to do it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
Justification is a powerful thing. I understand needing multitasking if that's your thing, but I wish people would stop saying things that are just factually inaccurate to justify their switch. I owned the galaxy nexus for several months, and while it was a very nice phone, there is really not much of a comparison. The screen is very dim...to get it to equal this phone in brightness, you have to crank it up and then your battery goes to ****. The speaker volume sucks on the gn...I had to use an app just to be able to hear it, then it was distorted on some ring tones. Those soft menu buttons are a horrible idea and take up too much screen real estate...although they claimed 4.65", it's really not. Battery life was not good in comparison...most I could ever get with OEM extended 2050mah battery was right at 4 hours screen on time...with my one x I can routinely get 6 to 6.5 hours. Biiiig difference. I had to mod the **** out of that phone to get it as smooth as this phone completely stock. Build quality on the gn was cheap compared to this phone...hardware wise, this is one of, if not THE best built phones I have ever owned...and I have owned a lot. Camera comparisons have been made, but there is not much comparison. View both on a computer screen and you will see what I'm talking about. I have a picture of my dog I took with this camera as my wallpaper on my desktop, and it looks like I took it with my dslr.

I hate to ramble, but I hate seeing misinformation even more. That's fine if you like the gn...great phone, but don't throw out BS just to make yourself feel better about your decision.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
yeah the pages and pages of of posts in this thread are all wrong.

Ok Red5 close the thread nothing left to discuss :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

How is that different than saying multitasking isn't bad, just wait the devs will fix it...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
but...mate lol if you'd bought the GNex when it first came out you'd be saying the exact same thing. this is what happens when you're an early adopter... bugs and problems galore. i was an early adopter of the GNex (imported) and i can tell you it was the same, just different issues.

you didn't offend me at all. i was just giving my personal experience with a device i've owned for 6mon in comparison to one i haven't even owned for two weeks yet. i understand you not wanting to apply the non-official update but imo that's part of Android. i couldn't stand having borked wifi, hence why i updated and haven't looked back since.

remember, being an early adopter means, 99% of the time, putting up with bugs that will have to be ironed out in time. i have yet to own an Android or even iPhone that this didn't hold true to.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
Wow...you missed the entire point of that ramble. My point was that I see too many people holding the gn on a pedistal and it doesn't deserve to be there...at least based on facts it doesn't. If multitasking becomes an issue for me, I will jump to another phone and you won't here anything about it...I wont be all over every thread on here spouting out how horrible the phone is to make myself feel better about my decision. I have confidence in decisions I make, I don't need group approval to sleep at night.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
agree here. i took a gorgeous couple of photos of my gfs little girl one day. my GNex never produced photos so amazing. ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phositadc:
Dude, I think you are missing my point. I've also been an early adopter. I bought a Droid Incredible the day it came out. Also bought the AT&T GS2 the day it came out. Bugs are fine. Bugs are normal. But not bugs that go to the very heart of what the phone is supposed to do. I expect to be able to make calls, receive emails, and connect to wifi, FROM DAY ONE. Calls on the One X were great. Push email and wifi... not so much. Push email and wifi worked (at least for me) with both the Droid Incredible and the GS2.

I can wait weeks or months on a fix for things like multitasking, app association links, etc. Early adopter requires this. Early adopter in my experience -- at least, until the One X -- does not and should not mean that I should expect basic, essential functions of the device to work improperly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
no, i see your point. you don't like the phone and want to return it because something simple like wifi and push email are borked. i completely understand.

if i had these issues with the phone, i might feel similar. fortunately for me, i do not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Ok I'll admit I probably read some hostility in your post. I apologize. I'm very frustrated because I made the decision to jump ship from the android to an iPhone. I hated it. When looking to go back I did extensive research for nearly a month. The gnex was 2nd on my list the hox was first.

None of the glowing reviews on the one X mentioned multitasking as problematic. I expected it to work and it doesn't. If there's a device better than the gnex besides this phone I'll buy it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
I appreciate a well thought out logical response and can see your point. I just get frustrated with folks who constantly threaten to take their phone back. Why not just do it already and quit saying you're going to do it. Doesn't make sense to me. Good luck with whatever direction you choose.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
I have actually taken comparison shots between the two phones using identical settings, lighting, and subjects. I have compared these shots on a large monitor with good resolution. Have you?

Most people saying "The HOX has way better photo quality" are going off of memory of what they think their photo quality was like, not based on actual scientific comparisons. I do this with every phone I buy.

Most of the Gnex reviews didn't really give the camera a good test. I actually think Phonearena was the most accurate with the photo comparison and summary. I also bought the Gnex anticipating horrible camera quality and was pleasantly surprised when I started doing comparisons.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

I'm not holding it on a pedestal. I'm simply saying that the Gnex is better than the HOX in its current software state and given that HTC does not see an issue, that will not be changing. I switched back to the Nexus because I still had it. I could have just as easily switched back to my iPhone 4s and had better multitasking. Or my Galaxy Note.

You seem intent on tracking down all of these threads and busting the chops of anyone who has issues with the way the HOX runs. I'm not sure why you've made that your personal mission, but it's pretty close to trolling. Everyone is thrilled that you're satisfied with your device. We are not, thus the discussion.

Just got a email from HTC....same **** everyone has already heard.....multitasking is not broken and there is no planned fix or update coming to address it. Same story I got from tech support.....OneX......I am deeply saddened.....so the HD2 is the only device this company has ever made that turned out to be more than anyone would have thought.

I'm pretty sure I'm going keep this. I like how it has great battery life even though its a thin device. The S4 and LTE work great for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
I agree....it's a awesome phone....could not keep it as my only device. After some development the OneX will be great but I use multitasking all the time. Even just messing around sending links and crap to my brother inlaw from every android based article we come across. I am constantly Googling crap that I am reading about in apps....sending it to him go back to the app.....stop load up XDA app and post here. One X does not like doing that much work....its a really hot lazy chick. I have had a few of them....that's why the first really hot ambitious chick I met.....I married.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] austin4913:
I haven't experienced any if the bugs reported..so far...the multitasking 'bug' is simply the way the phone was designed..all about power management...should be a simple fix w a custom ROM for those that need to multitask...it is a little irritating but I like the battery life..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pratik5705:
Have made the decision to return, which was hard to make as I really didnt want to go back to my iphone. But after using my iphone for a day after using One for a week, the decision was easy. The One was eating my battery life sitting at my desk as I have spotty LTE coverage in my office. It would eat up battery and I could not switch to 4g/hsdpa using the APN method (it did not work for me).

I never had the wifi bug, or most of the other problems.

Main issue is inability to use data when paying $30 / month for it. My iphone has perfect 3g reception here.

Multitasking was a pain, I had issues with youtube and playing videos (flash). Pandora would play (never dropped or cut out), but with a lot of static and hissing (over bluetooth and aux).

Really wanted to be able to keep it long term, but this is my third bad experience with Android (Atrix, Xoom and One).
