1) spot on. and based on what's happened in the past with Apple, AT&T is not against essentially whoring themselves out for whomever comes along with lots of $$$. Prior to upgrading to the One X, I would still get gigantic, bloated advertisements funneling me towards a new iPhone, and I had to use a magnifying glass to find a tiny text link below all the crap that linked me to "browse all available devices."

2) I was not aware of this. Very interesting information that I'd like to look more into (not to qualify your post, but just bc it sparked my interest). Do you have any good sources to research this? Thanks!

3) Again, spot on. A flagship is not penned as such because it is bug-free, but because it epitomizes the current capabilities of a manufacturer and the direction in which they want to move. The only reason that many of these potential issues are made known is because of techies like us who pour over these wonderful devices and find them. This phone is going to sell without the need for iPhone-like ubiquitous advertising, and it's going to get into the 'right' hands - those that appreciate it as a wonderful piece of technology, not a symbol of image or perceived status (which, on devices like the iPhone, has been cheapened by the device simply being everywhere).

I have to disagree about the Evo. I've see more Evo commercials than any other phone. I am a race fan (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series) and the year of the og Evo every other comercial during the race, or anything race related was the Evo.

Sprint's in a world of hurt. They've abandoned Wi-Max which was kind of ****ty to begin with and won't have any meaningul LTE deployment in place until Q1 2013. So their selling hot new LTE phones that get EDGE speeds. They were hemoraghing post-paid subscribers at a scary pace before the conversion to LTE was announced. Their future looks pretty grim no matter how many shiny toys they stock as people buying high-end phones want high-end data speeds to go with them. When the iP5 with LTE support is launched Sprint's big gamble on the iPhone will come crashing down too. With an iP5 being the same price everywhere why would someone buy one with EDGE speeds rather than LTE?

HTC is repping the One X...go to their website and it is front and center :) Lumia dominating ATT ads at the moment. HOX is best phone out right now, no need to worry
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
Because right now their focus is on the Nokia lumia...the one x is next
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
i agree with that. I bet the unlimited data ads is whats saving them atm lol. People here (xda) can see that unlimited data at EDGE speeds is a joke...Most arent aware of the above and those unlimited ads are pretty convincing.. till you see the tmobile ad whre the chick speeds by on the bike haha :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] david_ag:
I am talking about the original EVO, before launch. I was on Sprint and looking forward to getting it. Got it second day after launch. Sprint did not advertise it all before launch, no buildup whatsoever. After the EVO name gained recognition and became Sprint's synonym with flagship phone THEN Sprint started promoting it heavily.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Good thing they didn't advertise now, isn't it? ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Well THERE'S your problem!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fleon888:
Well, I can't comment on why it didn't get all that many ads, but maybe it's because of this horrible wifi / push bug. I picked one up and I have to say, it's going back today. The QC on this phone is clearly zero.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Today, for the first time, I saw an AT&T commercial for the HOX. It was a guy running with beats audio and it ended with him in the middle of a wind farm. I used to see tons of spots for the One S on T-Mo, but this was the first time I've ever seen one for the HOX. I caught it on Food Network on Comcast in Chicago. Anyone else actually seeing these? Find it odd that i've seen no advertising until now, right before the SGS3 hits stores. Also saw a Sprint spot for the EVO 4G LTE about 15 minutes later.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
I was thinking about this thread the other day...and how wrong I was..well i wasnt wrong at the time..it took them a little while in my area but I've seen a lot of hox commercials lately.. The one you are talking about and the one with the dude parachuting and filming.. Have seen a ton of Evo lte commercials and no one s commercials..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
I see tons of all 3, well 4 just started seeing the One V for virgin mobile
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
So interesting. I'm not a TV freak, so I could have easily just missed these before. But I distinctly recall seeing an overwhelming amount of One S commercials immediately after these phones hit stores, but i never saw as ingle HOX commercial until today. Maybe they just regionalized the advertizing for some reason? Anyway, it's good to see because I always just assumed the HOX was something AT&T wasn't really going to push for whatever reason even though it's such a ridiculously awesome phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
I've seen AT&T ads all over on tv. They have the jogger and the skydiver. Also it is featured on atts website.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
I seen a lot of hox ads on tv
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] veliksam:
Maybe you no watch tv?

Long live the One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
No, but I guess I'll start watching the food network again.

I haven't seen a single one for our phone. I see T-mobile's One S commercials all the time though. You know, that kill bill looking chick who's sitting on her motorcycle and then pulls out her phone to text. Every time she pulls it out I say to myself "you know, that phone is still too big for you, especially on a motorcycle!". Maybe people stop listening after they say "introducing the HTC One - ZOMG X that's my phone" but in reality, it actually says HTC One S. That's my theory, anyway...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Exactly...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Saw one again last night
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
I live in SD and ive seen 3 different ads on tv for the one x.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
Yeah they show that one with the guy running in LA about 3-4 times an hour here in Nebraska.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
i know right!!!

and the skydive camera ad!:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] look_alive:
Well, on Dish Network satellite, they play the "Runner" commercial about 3-4 times a night, almost to the point of me getting sick of it!

THIS AD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JszoCjnnyNI
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
ya this is false advertisement too!!! shows beats ear buds with the phone @ the end!!! but i didnt get any with my device!!!!!

im calling at&t damn it!!! lol!!!:p

edit damn it!!!! i see @ the bottom of the commercial......requires accesories sold seperately! lmao! at&t tricked us all!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Ad money comes from the manufacturers, not the carriers. If AT&T's running a One X ad it's either paid for or co-op'd by HTC. HTC's budget is a lot smaller than Samsung's just based on their size. The One X is available on AT&T only as is the One S on T-Mobile. The SGS3 as a single device will be available on like seven different U.S. carriers. I've seen tons of SGS3 ads and they are all the same except for a brief flash of a specific carrier's logo in the last 5 seconds.

With the Atrix HD coming out soon AT&T will have three similarly featured high-end Android devices. You know which one they want people to buy the most? They could care less. They use subsidized phones as crack to get people to sign up for a two-year commitment to their overpriced wireless services. So when picking which devices to sell or promote it's all about having choices that appeal to as many people as possible and get them on AT&T. I'm sure they are paying HTC and Motorola a lot less per device than they pay Samsung for an SGS3. That's probably why they didn't want to pay for the DropBox add-on for their SGS3. But at the end of the day what's a $50 delta when you're looking at $2,400 ($100 a month x 24) in charges racked up over time.

So AT&T loves HTC and the One X as long as they serve their needs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] newfireorange:
Even though the back of the Evo Lte is not removable, it technically can be with a tool. Do you think it's possible that an extended battery will be made? Or will we see battery case first?

I wouldn't mind seeing an extended battery that is not so huge it's ugly. Maybe like 2400 mah or something with a smaller after market battery door.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
It all depends how much more they can fit in that size of battery before causing issues, and if the flex cable is the same. And if you could get a bigger extended battery, you would need a new frame, and hopefully everything works well so the battery doesn't crush the board/lcd when its fully put back together.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I'm just speculating, but I suspect HTC crammed the largest battery they could in the available space. I can't imagine why they would leave any excess room. Also, it's probably safe to conclude that replacing the stock battery with another one would void your warranty. If I end up needing more juice than what is already there, I will probably get one of those portable power packs that offer three to five thousand milli-amps of extra capacity.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] id_twin:
I went ahead and purchased this:

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP60D-Thunderbolt-Blackberry/dp/B003690Q42/ref=pd_sim_e_7

It has really good reviews, plus, you can charge it via USB instead of one the giant wall chargers. Should come in handy with my trip to Europe next month!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I was just looking at that one earlier this morning. It is now on my wish list so I don't have to go searching for it later. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] id_twin:
Another one to look at is http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP70D-Thunderbolt-Blackberry/dp/B002D4IHYM/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_1 - It is slightly larger, but instead of 500 mAh and 1A it charges at 2.1A and 1A, this allows for a lot better charging of pretty much any portable device, including tablets/ipad.

Can we edit some files and make it better,not easy to kill backgrounders?

Did you make sure and make a Nand first thing? If so Nand back. What HBoot version are you on? You said your " S-On " , that will not make flashing Roms easy. If at all possible. most Custom Roms have a custom Kernel. Which will cause issues when flashing since you are not fully Rooted? I would suggest achieving Full Root, S-Off.

Ok so I know this doesn't help anything. But with that being said. Gentleman reading, and I will add research is fundamental. Before trying to Root any device you need to do a lot of reading, and research of the different methods. What will work best for you, and how to go about it. You also have to put aside the proper amount of time to do it. You can't just rush through it. Not taking your time will almost always work against you.

Your not Rooted :( . You just have an Unlocked Bootloader. My advice is do not flash any Roms until your Fully Rooted. Downgrade and Root, then you can flash till you fall asleep. If you do flash before then it is likely you will run into issues.
