[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
My phone decided it wanted to NOT start back up. It started to, but then it went EXTREMELY slow upon boot and froze. I battery pulled, and it did the same. I tried another battery and this time it started going normal then it did the same.

I battery pulled and it showed just the Google logo and froze there.

I pulled the battery and it won't turn back on at all now. I tried my 2 different batteries. I tried directly plugging it into the outlet and USB.

I have it in USB and it shows up as OMAP4440 for like 2 seconds in Device manager then disconnects and then reconnects and disconnects and reconnects.

Can someone tell me what's going on here... please? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
I got it to turn back on. It just shows the Google logo and that's it. It doesn't show the Unlock symbol. Then it goes and looks like it's starting up Eclipse, but goes into a boot loop...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
And now it's booted up..

I have no idea what the hell just happened, but it looks like I'm going to install a new ROM later tonight and not let this guy shut off or anything! D:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I'm sure whatever was wrong with it, repeatedly pulling the battery didn't help it. You should have gotten the output of logcat and dmesg to see what was going on in the background.
[HTC One X] RobTheRover:
OK, its time to upgrade my trusty DHD.....

...but what gets my hard-earned (no, really) pennies?

To me there are 4 options........

1) HTC One X

2) Samsung Galaxy Note

3) Wait until the 30th and get the Samsung Galaxy SIII

4) Keep the DHD for another 12 months and benefit from a cheaper contract.

So, if it was your pennies getting spent, where would they be going?

I'm looking for views from existing HOX users here. Do you love the HOX? Hate it? What do you like most about it, and what drives you potty?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

[HTC One X] Th3Aaron:
I would have to say take HOX its a awesome device that will last u for 2 years or more
[HTC One X] kylec:
Best advice is to go into a store and try out each phone (s3 excluded because not released), and see what you think.

Personally, hox is a damn good phone, but I tend to Get a hint of jealousy when I see my dad's Note haha. Don't know why, hox is faster and smoother with a quicker cam, but the notes screen is nice haha.
[HTC One X] RobTheRover:
Thanks guys.

Kyle - I did just that today, and like them both (to a point).

The HTC just seems too safe, coming from the DHD (and 4 HTC's before it). Maybe I need something a bit different?

The Note, well it's certainly different, but its a Samsung. Samsung made my washing machine, and I've just had to have that repaired. To my knowledge HTC never made a washer.

Aaaarghh - this is agony!
[HTC One X] echoesofthe60s:
Well the note was well too big for me and instore the One X did seem rather big against my Desire..

but now when I hold my Htc One X and then hold my desire aswell, my desire seems so outdated and cramped I could never go back...

It seems quite durable as well the One X... Not that I throw it around but its really good quality and not glass, so I'm not worried about it so much..
[HTC One X] tkolev:
I came from a DHD (awesome device btw) an am pretty happy with the HOX. Screen is better, brighter, more ppi, and compared to the competition, LCD is far better. CPU is amazing, you can run your tablet tegra zone games on your phone too. Battery is definately an improvement, the camera also (which is not surprizing knowing the battery and camera of the DHD). The phone feels a bit light though ;)

Anyway, get what you like most and never forget that Samsung doesn't make just washing machines. Their vacuum cleaner business is doing pretty well too.
[HTC One X] alldrak:
Hello everybody,

I have both a HOX and a galaxy note from work.

Note's battery isn't as good, bit it's true that the screen's size is bluffing.

I wouldn't really buy the note for personal use cause it's too big and you don't have enough battery to be able to mess around with it for the whole day .

Camera is better that htc, smarter, focus with flash, nice macre etc.

It's a really good phone, but for professional use in my opinion.

One X's design is beautiful as is the screen quality. Very fast, smooth and I wouldn't trade Sense for the world.

Hope it helps.

Edit: btw I also upgraded from a DHD and the first thing that bluffed me was the weight and design
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I had a DHD for 18 months, then I bought a Note. Returned it a week later, bought a HOX. Loved it, it's like keeping your DHD but upgrading everything about it.
[HTC One X] RobTheRover:
Thanks everyone. Still teetering on the brink...... Hox... Note..... Note..... Hox......
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Are you a thumbtyper? Forget the Note if you are, thumbtyping in horizontal view is actually sore after a while, the menu & home buttons are in an uncomfortable position.

Also, the Note camera is not in the same league as the X. The X has an amazing camera, the Note is just good.

Touchwiz (Samsung's interface) is also not in the same league as Sense, it feels clunky and unimaginative in comparison.

If you buy from Amazon, you can return a phone within 7 days (I did this) so maybe you should try there.

The only benefit the Note has over the X is the larger screen, but i don't think it's worth it for all the cons (compared with X)

[HTC One X] RobTheRover:
Interestingly, I would also have termed myself a HTC fanboy up until the One X and S were launched. I just find them a tad uninspiring.

Thanks for the tip on the 7 day return. On this basis I've decided (with a feeling of I'm cheating on a loved one) to get a Note online, then I can return it under distance selling laws if I find it unbearable to live with.

Genuinely, many thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. Your insight has been much appreciated.

Rob
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Cool. If you decide to keep the Note, give me a PM, i have some screen protectors you can have for the price of postage.

Oh and the 7 day return is actually 14 or 30 days, i'm not sure, and remember to keep the original packaging :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Narcal:
I came from DHD too!

The jump was... WAHOA!!!

The differences are incredible. I really really love this One!

HOX is almost half the weight of DHD ;) and at least twice faster! And Sense 4.0+ICS is really cool combo (IMO).

Only 2 downsides:

- at first it couldn't keep my provider signal and it was stucked in roaming (fixed changing the favorite settings in the Mobile net settings);

- with normal usage the battery is good, but if you start using it for games or videos it drains really fast (but not as fast as DHD's, and there's pleny of battery fixing posts around here)
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
A year and a half ago when I first got my Droid X I used Lookout Mobile Security. As far as I knew it was doing its thing just fine. I used that all the way up until I got my replacement X2 midway through last year.

So I was looking through the market for new antivirus software and I saw that Avast is out. Tried that and I liked it a lot. Has root support for rooted devices too. Custom firewall settings(works), call/SMS blocker(haven't tried yet). It also has an antitheft setting which can make everything on your phone sleep except the GPS so you can find it, set off a lost or stolen alarm, etc. It even has an option to "Survive Cyanogenmod ROM Flashes" so it will remain installed on the phone even if you flash a new version Of cyanogenmod... I'm assuming. (Antitheft only. Not entire app if I understand correctly)

Only things I don't like about it is the "Web Shield" only protects the default browser via the description. Also, I do not currently use the anti theft because it conflicts with go sms pro and that's what I use to text. :/

So the reason I posted this in q&a instead of themes and apps is because the entire time I've ever had either lookout or avast, throughout the hundreds of automatic scans and less than reputable websites (don't ask) I've gone through......my device has never encountered even a single problem. No viruses, no spyware, nothing even flagged as "potentially unwanted software."

Have you guys ever had virus/spyware issues on your phones? Has an antivirus application ever actually helped you after you received an infected file? Do you even bother using antivirus or do you consider it just 1 more app wasting battery in the background? Just curious....

[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
I have never used an AV program on my phone. Linux in itself is pretty resistant to viruses.

That being said, no AV program will save your ass if you're being an idiot on the internet.

AV is like a condom. Would you diddle a nasty, disease ridden person if you only had a thin layer of rubber between you?
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
LMAO. ^LIKE^ :-)

Lmao wow I forgot this topic existed. Honestly haven't used antivirus since I started flashing different ROMs lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruno91:
I love my note. It's definitely my favorite phone out of the 8 smartphones I've owned (iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, HTC Sensation, Samsung Vibrant, LG G2X). The downside? It is the most disappointing phone development wise. There doesn't seem to be any good ROM out there. Stock is painfully slow. There is no CM7 which is really disappointing. Any of the ICS I've seen out has had major problems which is why I haven't upgraded yet. There are horror stories about people bring their phones when upgrading to ICS and so far it doesn't seem to be a small number of people which is really sad. Samsung is JUST rolling out ICS now but I've heard stock ICS is also very slow and if you have CWM on or from what I understand have rooted your phone at all, you run a huge risk of bricking if you try put ICS on.

TL DR; If you don't mind staying stock for a WHILE, get the Note because it's awesome having a huge screen, resolution, and the SPen.

EDIT: Spelling
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
Exactly my thoughts! Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing. I am lazy as hell. :P

I flashed tons of ROMs and back to stock. At least I won't be bricking my phone this way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
To the OP: If I were you, I would get the One X or the S3, depending on the needs. Like I need the sd card and removable battery so it would rather be the S3 for me. Assuming you haven't used the note for long, both these phones must feel great to you. For almost all of us here, they are just too darn small. Once you use a note, you just get addicted to it. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobTheRover:
Thanks guys. Keep them coming.

I played with the Note and the HOX today and liked them both, but the huge Note battery is drawing me towards it.

I'm 6'1" and have hands like pan-shovels so the size of the Note isnt a -ve to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
love mine too!

Yeah loving the bigger screen. I'd never go back to something smaller.

On a different note.. (haha) had mine a month and have rooted and switched the rom and Kernel.. wasn't very hard just had to get over the mind set of bricking it.

Buy one!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.chan:
Note, large screen, s-pen apps (if you're inclined to use them), some good roms, ICS development with the new builds should be on their way soon

the rest? S3, rather than 1x. or at least wait till reviews come out comparing the 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickytoria:
wait

wait for Galaxy S3 - I allready have it and It's awsome!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
The Note is fabulous - better than the GNex I came from. Why? The screen principally - the Galaxy nexus screen just seemed so small compared!

I think the answer is this:

1. If you want the latest tech - go for the One X or the S3.

2. However, as it's so early in their life cycle you don't know what problems they will have (other than we already know the OneX has cr*p battery life) and we all know that no phone is perfect. Each phone I've had (and I've had a few) has had it's own unique issue.

3. If screen size is important, forget the other two and go for the Note. There is just simply no question of that (until Note II is announced in future!)

Maybe quad core will be a bit faster than dual core but I doubt it will make much of a difference in everyday use. In any event, I hate TW / Sense etc so always remove that bloatware and, hey presto, android flies on the Note (not that it was sluggish with TW).

And the lack of reliable ICS at the moment? In the words of Catherine Tate (look her up if you're not British!) - am I bovvered? There's such a clamour for it and, yes, it's a bit prettier and more logical in places but GB is absolutely fine for 99.98%.

Just my £0.02. Good luck with the decision.:D

Edit: Just seen that you're a brit - no need to look up Catherine Tate! More importantly, just realised you've got a DHD. Move on, you won't be disappointed. Sure, tech will move on over the next few monts, years etc but it always does.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruno91:

Clicked as soon as you said "am I bovvered?".

Go for the Note,mate. You won't regret it :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobTheRover:
Thanks for that. I agree with your assessment, especially ICS which is definitely leaving me underwhelmed in terms of how "un-different" (new word!) it is to GB, especially after having used Honeycomb on my tablet for the past 6 months.

I've decided (with a feeling of I'm cheating on a loved one) to get a Note online, then I can return it under distance selling laws if I find it unbearable to live with. I suspect it wont be going back.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I love the large screen and battery of the Note.

The S3 is more future proof, but only because of the processors. RAM is the same.

One thing in the s3's favor is the LED notification light! w00t! I have been missing this on EVERY device that wasn't a blackberry!

The s3 also has a large battery, but .. the Note takes the cake.

The One X is out of the picture. Why? Removable battery. Also, they pushed the device so fast to get it out on the market as one of the first quadcore devices that ... well, to me it doesn't seem that attractive. The s3 on the other hand looks mighty fine!

The Note is awesome for its screen and battery size (as well as the S-Pen).

It's really your call... Sometimes I wish my note were a tiny bit smaller, but I don't regret it when I'm actually using it! hehe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] este548:
I upgraded from DHD to galaxy note and can say it was the upgrade. Absolutely amazing display over DHD, much better battery life, faster, smoother, much better camera, etc. When I look back now to already my wife's DHD, it seems to be a nice small phone ... :-) Was able to replace most of work on my laptop with note thanks to Swype ...

I have both on stock ROM, didn't find need to go for ICS on my note. Everything is working flawlessly, maybe will change my mind half year later when there will be more positive reaction from community ... my few cents :-) .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joyork:
One thing that's driving me mad is the sluggishness of the stock Gingerbread ROM. Is the official ICS ROM still sluggish?

If so, would rooting the phone and deleting some of the bloat help? Also, is it possible to remove Touchwiz from the official ROM? I'm a bit scared to try any other ROMs in case I brick my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glienart:
I've had my note since november and I love it!! The huge screen is so much fun and great to surf the web!!! It doesn't feel bigger in my pocket than my previous phone (iPhone). Even though it has a huge screen the battery life is really good (especially with my actual rom Criskelo)

I haven't tried the other phones you posted but I am still trying to understand why anyone would need a quadcore in his phone today!! I installed spy cpu on my SGN and my CPU almost never rises to 1400MHz so what could anyone do with the extra power maybe 3D games since I don't play any so can't tell about the performances but I doubt it since the note still has one of the best processors out there! The games I play are: solitaire, temple run, fruit ninja,...

I don't really notice the sluggishness, everything seems smooth!! The rom I am using is lighter than the stock rom so there may be a difference! If you wan't to remove Touchwiz you'd better install a new rom on your phone would be easier than to modify the stock rom! In either case you need to root your phone! At first didn't want to do it but in the end I am happy and giving some good feedback about the rom I am using! And the bricking is pretty rare!!

To install a new rom if you literally follow instructions you can't run into problems!! A bit of research and in the end it just takes 10/15min to change rom!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
That's an easy one. Root and install one of the stock rooted GB Roms. No need to 'remove' TW. Just install another launcher (let's not start the 'which launcher is best' argument here) and then set that as default. TW will fade into the background and won't be used and your Note will be faster.

Only 2100mah I think? Not that big - nearly 20% smaller than the Note.

Try downloading another Rom and unzipping it on your pc, copy the HTC framework from system, framework and Rosie.apk from system, app. And any other required files.

But be sure to make a back up though because there is always a chance something could go wrong

Forgive me if this is against forum policy, but I'm looking for an HTC incredible case for my wife's phone. I figured someone here might have one they bought and don't like as much as another or something like that.

If you have one, I may be willing to buy it or at least pay for shipping + a little beer money.

Just reply if you have something with the make/model of case.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] demarcmj:
I don't have anything for you, but just wanted to point out that you can get cases for pretty cheap on amazon.

If you're looking for the silicone type, here's a black one for $1.99+free shipping and here's a pink one for $0.94 + $2.97 shipping, but there's plenty more.

If you're looking for one of those 2-piece shell-type cases, I think this white one looks kinda nice with the contrast to the black phone, $3.25 + Free Shipping.

You can get one of the "official" Verizon ones for pretty cheap too: $4.27 (prime shipping).

So yea, Amazon has a lot of inexpensive options. This is just a small subset.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ohredwood:
I do, if you don't find what you're looking for on amazon or whatever. I have one or two that I had bought, before I bought my otterbox, that I use. If you're interested then shoot me a pm, and I'll take a pic for ya or something. It's been laying in my desk drawer for a year and a half. You cover shipping and that's adequate.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] raderator:
I have 3 diffident types and would recommend the silicone. They make it hard to fumble the phone but if you do, even the glass will be well-protected. The lens cover is protected when you set the phone down and the buttons are easier to push than the other types. Also very easy to get off to change the battery. Batteries are also very cheap on Amazon and are slightly bigger.

[Galaxy S III General] snobrdr2324:
This isn't a bad thing, but it is also underwhelming. Every high end phone released in the US markets has the same SoC. Software battles are not very interesting, at least to me. On ATT both of the high end Android phones are very similar in terms of hardware with the HTC One X arguably being better since it is already out and has a better screen. Not sure what samsung was thinking with putting out a phone with the same internals as a rival a couple months later.

And who said that Rogers is getting an Exynoes version... the only evidence was a ad generated by google... unless you have another source.
