[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
The XL's been out for what, three weeks? It took Samsung 2-3 months to get the i9100 working right after it was first released. Clearly there's a radio issue with the One X but you guys separate the problems as if they're unrelated. I'd take bets they all get resolved with an update or two. The international One X just received its third update and I'd guess about 90% of the major complaints have been resolved.

The One X's (both of them) multitasking issues are way overblown. Yes, it's aggressive but if apps are written correctly by their developers you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between whether it was being recalled from state or restarted. People have posted some specific apps that don't adhere to Google's design standard that restart without retaining their last position. That’s the exception, not the rule. If the apps you use a lot fall in to that category then yes, HTC's multitasking will blow for you. None of the apps I've been using have had a problem restarting from their last position. So multitasking is a big YMMV.

Here are some articles that discuss multitasking (including iOS) that you can read that have been written by the engineers responsible for Android. They outrank even the most established devs on XDA. It helps explain the way it’s designed to work and what happens when it doesn’t.

When making comparisons, the part that's missing is "compared to what?" Compared to "perfect" the One X's (both of them) launches suck. Compared to the i9100 (I had one of the first 100 sold) and GN (remember the stop sale due to the radio problems?) the One X's aren't much different. People are viewing the SGS3 as the second coming of Christ. Since I'm sure Samsung didn't put half their effort in to the i9100 and GN launches there's no reason to believe the SGS3 won't suffer from its own unique set of launch issues.

What it comes down to is pretty simple. If you want to be the first to own a new device be prepared to participate in the last phase of QC which sadly has become customer experiences after purchase. And speaking of Apple, their launch issues are far less excusable than Android's. With Android you have a single OS being used on a proliferation of devices with different h/w, different radios, different SoCs, and different GPUs. With Apple it's one OS running on one piece of h/w; all 100% within their control. And we know that even with that they don't always get it right the first time.

That was quite an insightful and inspired contribution.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

The flaw in your logic is that the multitasking issues occur with stock apps as well. I have personally experienced it with the dialer, the browser (probably that way by design, but still lame), and e-mail client.

Even with that aside, the fact that it is killing 3rd party apps within SECONDS when older phones allow them to run longer is less than ideal. ICS is designed to kill older processes that have not been used for a while and HTC took this to an extreme. On my GN, I can go back to an app an hour later and it's right where I left it. On my One X, the same app may not last 10 seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Technically, it's not my logic. It's the logic the engineers at Google built in to Android that HTC's relying on. I'm not questioning that this bothers the **** out of you and quite a few people; hence the YMMV. Based on what I do it hasn't been an issue. Let's call it a draw. For those that can't get passed this the One X isn't for them. Choices are either another phone or flashing custom ROMs once the bootloader's unlocked. In the "Multitasking OMFG" threads here and on the international forum 2/3 of the posts are just pile-ons saying what a travesty this is. Since HTC's said publically it's working as designed keeping the phone beyond the remorse period isn't a good idea for those that this bothers.

And unless you've updated this, things aren't going to be any better with the SGS3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
No, I've done even more testing on the GS3 and the results are the same. I would not buy that phone either, unfortunately. It actually kind of scares me that the manufacturers are doing this. We may not get true multitasking back at this rate.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
I got my ass handed to me on the SGS3 forum discussing multitasking so I pretty much avoid threads dedicated to it. To your point though, the SGS3 is going to own a big percentage of deployed devices in a pretty short amount of time. Hopefully that'll be the push to get developers to truly update their apps to support ICS. Penetration now is about 6% so updates are half-ass at best. If apps behave properly when they lose state, this issue (theoretically) becomes a non-issue. With S4, Teg3, and Exynos Quad the speed that an app can be restarted would be hard to tell apart from one being recalled from state. From what I've read, this issue's been happening with a lot of games which sucks as losing your position in the middle of play isn't something you can get back. As an opposite example, I use CoPilot a lot and its hugely memory intensive. When it comes back in to focus after being killed it picks up right where it left off. So it is possible to design big complex apps that behave correctly.

Some people have been reporting less aggressive multitasking in the incremental 1.29 update on the international version. It's hard to tell though if it's real or placebo. Hopefully HTC revisits this and can get Sense the headroom it needs, maintain decent battery life, and not kill apps 30 seconds after they lose focus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valdeck:
Random question but has anyone tried running with the unofficial official update to see if that will help with this issue any? Granted I am in the smaller set that this does not bother as most of the apps I multi task with will stay open fine and the ones that close easy I just share from. I would checked as it might have already been asked but I am at work and have a wedding in a few hours lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
1.82 leaked firmare has the same multitask issues
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valdeck:
Figured as much. Not much HTC will do about it if it means making sense run slower. I do feel sorry for everyone that this is a issue for it was IMO a bad call on HTC's part even if it does not affect me much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
I wasn't suggesting you run an unofficial update. The point I was making is that the leaked update (which is for the AT&T version specifically) has tested favorably for those who installed it and shows that there will be an update to correct those issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
I can't decide what to do yet. Part of me wants to return it because I am afraid it will take too long to get cm9 if we ever do and has me leaning towards buying a gnex from Google but I'm afraid or the battery life and QC issues. The last part of me just enjoys the phone regardless of the multitasking.

The email sync and text message notification bugs are annoying as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
there really is no excuse for there to be a multitasking "issue" on the SGS3 if it does indeed ship with 2gigs of RAM in the states. that phone needs to also ship with an S4 here before i even consider it. having LTE in a city that has it lit up has become important to me. it'll be interesting to see what ATT does to it...both internally and externally. also, is it gonna be another Skyrocket fiasco???
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
You guys are a tough crowd. ;) The international version launched with a lot more issues than yours. HTC's on their third update and there's known to be a fourth that's going to be a full, not a point revision. They've been doing a decent job tracking and addressing the issues. Don't count them out if one update alone doesn't fix everything. Let’s hope AT&T moves as fast QC’ing the updates as HTC does creating them.

When you consider it's a new SoC, radio, GPU, overlay, and OS the amount of issues are relatively tame. Look at the GN. It was an established SoC, no overlay, and Google's engineers were working side-by-side with Samsung on ICS. It still had issues; the 2G radio problem so severe they suspended sales until the problem was identified.

If you don't want to bet on HTC getting everything right, your best bet is to return the phone under remorse and re-buy it after a couple of updates get pushed out. If you looked at the i9100 front page a month after it launched it looked like a toxic waste dump. You'd never have expected all that was reported to be addressed yet, over a couple of months, it was. Hopefully (for HTC's sake) it works out the same way for the One X's. I'm not wishing anything ill for the SGS3 but it'll be helpful to have another new high-end device to compare issues against once it launches. Rarely is the grass greener on the other side.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
It's easy to get caught up in all the negativity on a forum...makes you feel like the phone is a pile of crap. Keep in mind that for every person on here complaining, there are probably a thousand that believe this is the best phone on planet earth. If you're enjoying the phone and multitasking is not paramount, then keep it and enjoy it. There are a lot of people on here that fall in to the misery loves company crowd. Instead of silently moving back to their outdated phones, they feel the need to try to justify it to everyone to make themselves feel more confident about their decision. I see that a lot on forums these days. Enjoy it bro!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Yes, for every one person reporting real issues with Multitasking here, there are 1000 users who don't have any issues at all and are perfectly happy. These 1000 users apparently never need to switch back to an app they used 10 seconds ago without it completely resetting on them. They also love getting their e-mail late and missing SMS messages because they aren't notified.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
For God's sake, go back to your damn Galaxy Nexus. What are you still hanging around for? By the way, you totally just proved my point. Thanks for following me though...I feel special.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Don't flatter yourself. No one is following you. You're the one who chooses to troll all the forums I'm already participating in. You go to forums where people are talking about the issues they have with Multitasking and your comment is always "it's fine". So why even post? Go find a thread talking about how awesome Multitasking is on the One X and post there. Oh, wait... there aren't any. I know! You can start one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
Still have your one x?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
This I'm sure has to do with the radio and will get fixed, hopefully with the next update. It's not happening on the international version so it's not a problem in the HTC apps themselves.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Yes, because I have always intended to take it back this weekend and it's not the weekend yet. Did I still prove your point?

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Yeah, I could have lived with those issues, honestly. Annoying, though they may be, they pale in comparison to the rabid memory management system that HTC implemented.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
That must be a hit or miss issue...never had an email or SMS delayed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Yes, we know. Your phone is perfect. Unfortunately, most everyone else is experiencing delays with both Gmail and Exchange mail, which may actually have to do with Wifi. Do you leave your Wifi on all the time?

As for SMS, they aren't delayed. You just randomly aren't notified. So you go into your SMS app and there are messages there that you didn't know you had. No notification in the shade, no number on the SMS app, no popup on the lock screen. It's easy to miss at first, but if you sporadically get messages, you'll notice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
Don't get me wrong though if the multitasking stayed this way it would be unacceptable for my use. I can live with it for a little bit though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
You are miserable and love the company...so yes, everytime you post regarding your galaxy nexus can do it better, you prove my point. Logic would dictate that you either keep the one x and try to contribute to helping people vs repeatedly saying your other phone is better OR you would just take it back and dissapear from the one x forum alltogether. You have down neither...you still own the phone, yet continue to put it down. I realize having a logical conversation with you is probably impossible, so I'll be prepared for some snarky remark that has little to do with anything being discussed here. I mean this in all seriousness...try to enjoy whatever phone it is you decide to keep. You don't have to make any of us buy in to your decision. Have some confidence in your own decision making skills.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
My phone is primarily using wifi and I send and receive a crap ton of texts and haven't run in to that issue. I set up Gmail on exchange for a day or so, but preferred the native Gmail app so I went back to it. Who knows.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I'm not thrilled but this is the best android phone available today.

Hopefully the bootloader will get unlocked and all our little problems cn be fixed, XDA at its best.

I think the mood around here is very foul because the hype machine for this phone was full blast and the multitasking thing SHOULDN'T be an issue. It isn't one according to HTC and it's their device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
It'll get unlocked soon enough and all the issues people are having will be addressed. This same circus goes on with every single new release Android phone...almost to a tee. Evo was the 30fps cap, Bionic had some big issue but can't remember now, Galaxy Nexus had connection issues (still being experienced by many...especially with Sprint), and now the One X multitasking. I perosnally have no issues with it, but if you do then I'm sure you'll be happy enough in the near future.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
the multitasking "issue" is partly responsible for decent battery life due to <1% wakelocks. it's exceptional. i love it personally :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
If it is the radio, signal strength could play a role so it might not appear consistently. Also, fast dormancy is enabled by default and if the phone's in a non-HSPA+ area that could be having an impact too.

P.S. - Notice how I keep trying to veer this thread back to constructive. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Here's my snarky remark: Go back and read all of my other posts in all three of the forums I have participated on this issue. Read every single one, then come back here and tell me that I haven't been helping people try to figure out what's going on with this and if it's really an issue. I'm also the person who reported that the GS3 exhibits almost identical behavior. Until you go read all of my posts, and get all of the facts, you're basically talking out of your @$$ with respect to my contribution on this particular issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
has there been an HTC device that the bootloader hasn't been unlocked on?

The only locked device on android I'm familiar with is the atrix 2
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
Lol...good work. I try to stay constructive, but keep getting pulled in the mud...haha. on a side note, I am getting crazy fast download hspa speeds...8.5mb/s today. That's the fastest I have ever gotten on any phone by a long shot other than lte phones I've had...although not much slower than lte either.

You're smart. That's the saddest part about you returning the device and leaving the forum. God knows what you'll be replaced with. There's certainly a dearth of intelectual capacity on the international forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
I'm done with you...if you say you've been helpful then I'll take you at your word. Just wish you would leave your gn out of it at some point. I think everyone knows by now that you have one and its multitasking works much better than the one x you're taking back this weekend.

Okay, so this may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to turn off all data except MMS? I've tried juice defender, and juice defender ultimate, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't have a data plan, nor do I need to use data away from home. however, when I'm out and about, I do like to send photos and whatnot. however, that requires data to be on. But 4G is a such a battery killer, especially since I'm not even using it.

Any help would be awesome! thanks.

Not that I'm aware of. You can shut off data, and turn it on before you send a pic and then shut it off again.

That doesn't help when I'm receiving pics though :/ I get random pics all the time. With minimal use my phone barely lasts 10 hours because 4G is always on. I would turn data off completely, but then I can't use mms. I think it's stupid we can't turn off 4F which is stupid. I don't use data away from home except mms. So I think there should be some app or something that should be able to disable it but enable to mms
