Srsly to everyone who doesnt think that the One X's worth their precious time and hard-earned money should just sell/return it and buy yourselves a new S3. Put a case on it and live w it. So fking sick of all the whining complaints. When I signed up I thought this is a tech site, didnt know that it's filled w 13 yr old teenage boys. It's understandable to be upset over defects and bugs but saying **** like "I'll return the HOX and buy an S3" is just plainly redundant and childish. Again, get rid of the phone and move on w your life if you are not happy w it. It's your money, your experience. And once you've done so no need to go back to the forum and trash the device and ruin everyone else's experience. If I acted like you the Samsung plasticky S2's forum would have been filled w my complaints already.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
I don't think a single person has bashed the One X unfairly in this thread. In fact I went to great pains to express how much I love the phone, and that if everything was working as intended I would choose it over the S3 despite its shortcomings.

But thank you for sharing your opinions :)
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
i will stick with it for now. would wait and see what problems the sgs3 has before jumping in. My previous experience with samsung was pretty bad but after riding out the initial storm the phone became beastly.
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
We will stick to it ..n u need to stick your s3 up your a**..please close these kinda irrelevant threads..sick of these now..

Lets just say Ive had the SGS2 for over a year with no OTAs. Ive had the danish version of HOX with already 3 OTAs, no problems with it at all, only some software problems before the first OTA. Im a happy customer :)
[HTC One X] Croak:
I've been buying the Galaxy devices for the hardware specs, I own a SGS, SGS2, a very short fling with a Galaxy Nexus, and a 6 month happy relationship with a Galaxy Note. Every time I buy a Samsung phone, I always find myself wishing they had better "hand feel", though I've had no complaints with the durability.

When I wandered into a Carphone Warehouse on my recent work trip to London, I made the mistake of asking to hold a One X. I walked out of the store with a new SIM-free gray unit, because it just felt right in my hand, and finally HTC had a LCD display that I could live with.

I wandered back into that same CPW three times since to replace the device. First time for flicker, second time for yellow spots, third time for screen lifting/creaking. The unit I have now is a keeper, partly because I'm back in Canada now and exchanging is going to be difficult. :)

As for durability, it's not doing so well...the sandblasted matte finish on the back will not/does not age well (shiny spots), I'm getting screen creaking again even though it was "perfect" when I checked it in the store.

I never had those issues with Samsung...while the materials were not premium, the build quality was always high and the durability as I mentioned was first rate.

All that said, it still feels great in the hand, still looks great as long as I don't see the back, and the performance is competitive. I don't regret buying it, very glad I opted for the GSM version instead of the LTE version for the better development support and larger storage.

But had Samsung actually hired an industrial designer for the SGS3 I may have felt differently. As it is, I really can't see myself owning the SGS3 simply based on that awful appearance which finally overshadows Samsung's strong hardware appeal for me.

TL;DR: Glad I own a One X, but sad that Samsung failed so hard on the aesthetics of the SGS3.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Ok well. Two of the biggest problems I had with the One X seem to have been solved already.

First of all, the 1.29.0.11 (??) patch has apparently fixed multi-tasking.

Also, some genius has managed to show me a fix for the wi-fi turning off when the phone is in standby.

I tried this out, and my phone's wifi now stays connected even when the screen is turned off!! Woop!!!!

Still leaves the factor of a dodgy GPS, but I am more than happy to get a replacement HOX as the other main problems have been alleviated
[HTC One X] bogfather:
I'm sticking with mine. It's fault free and does everything I need it to do
[HTC One X] colobos:
Well i guess i must be lucky cause i have had a fault free phone apart from some problems with Three (uk) cant say i can find a fault with the phone, Apart from the bloody stock headphones not being able to skip track in the stock music player! :P
[HTC One X] srstas:
i don't know about sticking, i still have my Galaxy Note and after the ICS release i'm tempted to have the s-pen option and the big screen :confused:

p.s. i don't have any problems withe the One X the phone is Gr8
[HTC One X] Narcal:
I'll keep it!!!

After the first 2 days I really wanted to throw this phone into the wall... I could in no way switch back to my provider signal, and was always stucked in roaming. Than I noticed that in the Mobile Settings my provider wasn't the Favorite one. Fixed that... I'm reall really happy with my new HOX!!!!
[HTC One X] clandes:
Definitely keeping the One X. It's bug free and works like a charm: fast, stable, reliable and it looks and feels damn good too. It's my 3rd HTC (Incredible S, Sensation, One X) and I loved all of them. Still got the Sensation as a spare and not willing to give it up :D

Never liked Samsung much due to the cheap plastic look and feel and the horrible Touch Wiz UI. Not a big fan of the AMOLED displays as well. The colours are too bright and artificial for my taste.
[HTC One X] :
Well I'm sort of not keeping the One X. I want to get the XL (LTE) model for Australia.
[HTC One X] MemphisLeak:
aI am lucky I got a fautless HTC one x first time. Can't really fault the device, battery ain't the greatest but its alright. Very usable out of the box. I have a grey one and the back is easily marred.

Will be sticking with it for at least two years I think. Cant see any features or hardware in the near future that could really drastically top this.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i use cases on my phones, and yes, if you like flashing roms kernels and radios then samsung is better. i know this now.
[HTC One X] brent8577:

[HTC One X] Vandal4125:
I really want to like this phone, only had it for a few days. But due to the fact that I have the Asia version I'm still stuck on 1.28. Which from what I gather is two version behind everyone else.

From what I've read 1.29 seems to fix almost everything, even increase the battery life considerably. My biggest gripes are the beyond crap GPS(and whisper quite google map voice navigation), poor battery life , and notably soft ringer.

This is my first Android phone, coming from a Nokia N8. The Nokia did all the above right. Great free navigation, great battery life and adequately loud ringer. Tried various tones on the One X and I still end up missing calls. Quite annoying.

I have mine for about 4 days now, while I love certain aspects I really hope the main gripes I have will be fixed soon.
[HTC One X] thephoneguyusa:
Because I am a phone whore I will ore than likely trade the one x for the s3 at some point in time but until then I am satisfied with my experience so far got a good one x with no issues that I have noticed

[HTC One X] dougtwx:
Undecided as well.

there is no perfect phone. But favorable alternatives for me would be HTC one S, sgs3, note.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
I originaly bought the HOX because i didn't want to wait for the SIII lauch,but now,after the lauch of SIII i don't want to change it anymore.I don't like the design of the SIII at all,i mean,it's a preeeeety ugly phone (in my opinion) and also there are not so many differences between them.The battery life maybe better on the SIII,but overall there are both the same.Just a few minutes ago i saw on XDA the S-Voice application was taken from the SIII ROM (doesn't work that well but probably the developers will make it better).Anyway,i just love the HOX for now and i think i will stick with it.It's a beautiful phone,has all the features i need and constantly the HTC releases software updates to fix the problems.
[HTC One X] daz1uk:
The two phones are amazingly similar, apart from one review I read that said that the s3 didn't feel as well built as the 1x, felt cheaper.

I'm sticking with the one x.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Why would you buy the SGS3 over the HOX?

- Wolfson DAC, better audio quality if you like listening to music,

- Better video recording capabilities out of the box,

- If you need larger battery life, most likely it'll get an extended battery at some point,

- Need more storage, 32GB is plentiful but some users will load up music etc,

- Screen preferences, some prefer AMOLED some prefer SLCD2,

- Unlocked bootloader, no need to wait for S-OFF,

Why should you buy the HOX over the SGS3?

- Cheaper,

- Better design (subjective and personal preference),

- Screen (subjective),

- Better low light camera? (Subjective),

- Sense? (Again both UIs personal preference),

Overall I'd say the SGS3 is the better phone out of the box with it's extra little features if you'll make use of them.

Both phones are good and both will please the user.

I've preordered the SGS3 to test out and to compare with the HOX. But won't do so until I'm back from holiday in early June.
[HTC One X] mertzi:
i'm undecided too, I have until next tuesday to DOA or cancel the whole contract. I definitely expected much better build quality on this phone. I've seen 4 now and they all had one or more of the common issues and all these flaws have made me lose all enthusiasm about the phone. I was not impressed by the S3's design but I'm going to check with Three if it's possible to change the HOX for one, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it even if I can. The risk for defects with newly released tech is always high, and seeing they are pushing out 5 million a month and considering how quality control nowadays isn't very prioritized at any company I wouldn't expect a flawless first batch of S3's either. The other day I saw a documentary called "the light bulb conspiracy", everyone should watch it and see how it really works.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
From my past experience, my day 1 SGS2 had absolutely zero issues. It was a perfect device, only 10 months down the line I got screen burn, issue with AMOLED screens.

My sisters SGS2 on the other hand had screen banding which was very visible but no other build quality defects.

It is a lottery nowadays with most phones!
[HTC One X] mertzi:
Exactly, and it shouldn't be a lottery, but nowadays they probably lose less from DOA's than having more staff in QC . I normally don't buy tech online anymore as it is so common to get defective products, everything from phones to ram to hard drives (especially hard drives), and it's less painful to go back to the store for an instant exchange, even if it costs a little more.

Speaking of banding, I was just searching the forum for threads related to banding but there's only scattered posts in threads about other issues. I still haven't understood if the banding is software or hardware related. All my HOXs have had the banding, like in the play store settings it is very noticeable. My hox is three branded so I haven't got the latest two updates.
[HTC One X] iLHaNroID:
I am exactly at that point due to same reasons and experiences with my OneX (white one, branded to Three - Sweden).. Yapp, OneX is the most beautiful and highest end device to date, this is my second OneX too, first one had issues with touchscreen and capacitive buttons, this new One is flawless.. Commonly said so called cons are not important for me; i was motivating myself in that way; Ok, OneX has no removable battery, but iphones are always so - OneX has no expandable storage, OK, 32GB is more than enough for me, also one can connect it to pc and transfer whatever files to/from pc easily without issues as it acts as a usb storage unlike iphones, no need to mention all extras when it comes to pros..

but..

Wi-fi sleep policy and multitasking issues drive me crazy.. I use remote-control apps for my Sony Bravia TV and Yamaha Receiver via wi-fi.. due to both wi-fi policy and multitasking issues, these two apps are now unusable.. each time I take it in hand to control my devices, after a while when i used last, I have to wait for wi-fi to re-connect, then again app to (re)establish connection with my TV or Receiver. Well, the app "power saver settings by derek r Randall" seems to have solved wi-fi issue, but multitasking is still an issue... I have read HTC's answer to multitasking, saying there is nothing wrong with it, OneX doing its jobb in way they want it to do.

I am still with 1.28.. fw because of branded device, waiting for 1.29 by Three. If the new update does not solve that matter, I will definately sell out my dear OneX regretfully, and buy S3 despite all.

Oh, have you ever hard-reset your OneX? I did so once before, and all my photos and files lost because 32Gb (26 available to user) is entirely phone storage, unlike Samsung's separation (in my SGS it was divided to 2 Gb phone storage, and 6 Gb so called internal-sd, I think SGS-III will also act in that way, which is absolutely a must for android and its users) What HTC has done with OneX is simply they have created an iPhonish android device, that's it! not a real android!

Disappointed, confused... I guess with samsung you will not have such surprises, you will know what you have bought..

EDIT: wi-fi issue still exists..

Hi,

When I boot my phone into recovery manually it enters "ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.0". However, if I let it boot up normally and then restart into recovery either via the reboot menu or ROM Manager, I get "CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.6".

Do I have two CWM Recovery versions on my phone, and is this a problem?

Thanks,

eli
[Samsung Mesmerize] jbreakfield:
What ROM are you running? It shouldn't be a problem, depending on what ROM you are on.
[Samsung Mesmerize] frozenpandaman:
CyanogenMod 7.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jbreakfield:
Shouldn't be a problem. If you do backups, just make sure you're using the same one every time.

It is an issue for Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs... you can't use the 3-finger method on those, as it will cause a boot loop.

Can someone help me find a good root method for 4.0.4?:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Assuming you're looking at regular methods via unlocked bootloader, they're the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Questions go in the "questions" forum, and if you look in the "development" forum, the top sticky is for the GNex toolkit which will unlock 4.0.4. If you are specifically looking for a method that doesn't involve unlocking the boot loader, I don't believe that has been discovered yet for 4.0.4.

I'll second the vote for newSENSE. Supreme Sense was pretty smooth for me and the animations were nice. I've tried many ROMs but tend toward the sense varieties and nothing has been quite as snappy (IMHO) as newSENSE. Especially with the ICS theme (hint, hint, wink, wink, somebody:D)...

Ive added 0mb to sdcard partition so you can remove sd-ext now also when adding one, you get to select ur fs (ext2, ext3 and ext4).
