[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sher The Love:
I just switched to ATT last week and got a note. I've been looking more and more into exchanging it and getting a one x. I was going to do it yesterday, but no ATT stores have them in stock (and I assume I cant return it to ATT and then get one elsewhere). The lack of internal storage is really a turn off, but the note can get a bit clumsy, although I love typing with two hands on it. The screen real estate is amazing but I don't know If its worth the overall size if the phone.

What I'm worried about now is exchanging my note for a one x and getting a phone with issues then having to go through the warranty side since ATT only allows one exchange. If only the one x has more internal storage and none of these manufacturing problems, this would be an easy decision for me...... I also discovered this "black clipping" problem tonight while watching you tube. Dark videos look terrible!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
Honestly, I feel that ergonomics and "design" are very personal and subjective. Personally I don't care for the blueish GSIII at all, and I don't really like the white one either. On the flipside, I think both One X's look sexy and I love the feel in my hand. I do have long fingers, so maybe that helps, but I can use the HOX comfortably in one hand, and it never feels "wrong".

MMkay. All I can say is that sometimes I hold my phone and I'm amazed at how light it is. It's actually too light and I can't leave it sitting on my leg when I'm in the car, because any turn will send it flying.

I don't see how it could be any better build quailty than the HOX because I don't see anything wrong with the One X. Maybe I was just lucky, but I've had zero issues so far. As far as the battery goes, I can totally understand how that is an issue for some, but it doesn't bother me at all because I could never see carrying around a battery on my person. To me it's just much easier to have chargers set up at locations I frequent. Having the back not pop off at the press of a button actually makes the phone feel more premium to me too. Will have to tear it down one day to replace the battery, but I'm okay with that.

Really? HOX screen is as good or better in every way, and it's a wash?

So... taking a tally... you like the ergonomics, have decided that despite the weights being the same the GSIII feels lighter (?) to you, don't consider the obviously better screen to be better, and admit that Sense 4.0 is much better...

HOX is $550ish. According to you, GSIII is $700-800.

Basically what I'm getting here is you like the removable battery and are nuts about the ergonomics. So, that + $150 difference = GSIII by a mile???

TBH I'm not big in to pimping one place over the other, but the "big box" store takes much better care of you than AT&T corporate does. They are definitely much more interested in earning your business. Also, they will allow you to swap out the phone more than once and not charge you restocking fees, additional upgrade fees, and other nonsense that AT&T will pull on you. When I shopped there, they also reset my "trial period" each time, whereas the AT&T store will consider your original purchase date.

Bottom line, if you are "testing" one phone and then another, and another, AT&T corporate store is probably not the place to shop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
Keep the phone you want. Buy the phone you want. Don't listen to anyone else.

I love my one x. I work where my store will very soon be bombarded with sg3 vs one x questions very soon In fact.

You don't benefit from trying to convince someone else your phone is better for them. I stopped trying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I had the black clipping on the Note also. I've been doing pretty good with the storage thanks to the 25gb dropbox. It hasn't been an issue. As for the exchanges, I exchanged it twice at a corporate store with no problems. The reason I had to pay a restocking fee was because I switched from white to grey. You have 30 days to exchange and to cancel the contract so you could return the Note cancel the service and buy the One X elsewhere. I went to an AT&T corporate store because I've had nothing but problems with best buy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sher The Love:
I think I'm going to wait until the ATT store I bought it from gets them in stock. I'm assuming sometime this week we'll start seeing them in stores. I've considered cancelling and going elsewhere, but then I have to pay $35 restocking fee plus I'll lose the $36 activation fee....

I've spent the last month researching before buying and I can't believe I'm really considering exchanging. Someone said it on here before, the Note is a phone you don't know is for you until you carry it around for a few days
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AllTheWay:
No manager would take you in a back room to show you returned phones. Also No AT&T manager would have an idea about price drops in the coming weeks. Nice try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kevinksmith:
Well, with the G S3 coming to US with 2 gig or ram, I don't see myself keeping the one x. The other factors of no battery access also is a deal breaker. I think S3 outdid them. Maybe, just maybe the pentile screen will keep some back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Yeah I hate pentile and love this beautiful HOX and it's form factor and the overall function, but i'm starting to have major wi-fi and cell connectivity issues and wondering if I should just return this and get a SGS3. Dev support will probably be better, and the fact that I had no issues with antennae at first but have been having major problems lately makes me really start to wonder if there is a big problem like mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688616&highlight=antenna

Anyone else? Tomorrow/Wednesday are my last days to return w/in the 30 day window from AT&T. What are you guys thinking? Software is one thing, i'm fine with that, but hardware is a whole different story...

EDIT: Dammit that GS3 is so hideous and the fanboys are hard to handle these days. I can't believe I legitimately just posted this...

My opinion is torn. I have a GSII that can multitask, and it is snappier and faster than my HTC ONE X. However, HTC One X battery life is at least twice as better than the GSII. My current thought is: The GS II is a little faster for a few seconds, a little snappier for one second, but the HTC ONE X can outlast the GS2 battery by hours.

I have learned to limit my multitasking so it doesn't bother me anymore. The HTC One X never slows down like the GS2 does sometimes. It is more about preference and I prefer battery life..I am a happy camper now.. The GS3 would be nice to try but not to concern about it yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wellsey1126:
Well a local store had the white version of the one x so I decided to bite the bullet pay a 35 restocking fee and give it more time .. apparently doing so re starts your 30 days so if I don't like it . I'll see what options I have..

from my HTC One X using XDA
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paz2005:
I returned mine today.

There were many features that i loved (the screen size & display, android os (this was my first android phone), the 4G LTE, the speed, the audio quality); but the sad truth is that, my 2 year old, beat up, single-core iPhone 4 with half the amount of memory outperforms the HTC one X for the things that I use a smart-phone for (mainly, SMS, web-browsing, and e-mail), especially with regards to multi-tasking.

I'll be waiting for the google & apple dev conferences this month before I make the next purchase!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mgfjd:
the 2 gig memory might be the turning point for me too.. It means future proof..

I would like to read more about real usage before deciding...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
Future proofing? More like battery draining, and for little to no reason. Having free memory just sitting there is a waste.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
It's funny how people here are bashing this phone. Maybe you guys just have a bad unit. Having a lemon does not make the One X a bad phone. I've had the Note, Rebound, SkyRocket, Inspire, iPhone 4, and the Samsung Focus recently and this phone beats them by a mile. Best battery life and user experience by far. The build quality is the best I've seen on a phone yet. People are getting ahead of themselves thinking the galaxy s 3 is gonna blow the doors of the One X. It's shipping with the same S4 processor, clocked at the same speed, and you can even compare build quality. I predict that the GS3 is the phone that is mostly hype and that the One X well be king for quite a while longer.

I would keep the HTC

I owned the Note and found it very slow and lagging during many tasks. The HTC One X is much smoother, faster, has a better display (in my opinion). The only advantage I saw with the Note was the larger screen size. I also xad a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the HTC is smoother, faster and had much less glitches than the Nexus. The only phone that might be valis competition is the S3, but nothing compares to the One X at the moment
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nickel Dime Bay:
^ I returned the ONe X for a Nexus and i have none of these glitches you're talking about sir

The One X is an excellent phone, only reason i returned is because i wanted a lot of development right now as opposed to waiting. I need my ROM's! lol Plus waiting for the GS3, I will say one thing though the One X screen is AMAZING.

Tegra 3 Does Not Support AC3 Audio

Despite what everyone has assumed, there apparently isn't any AC3 support at all in Tegra 3. In other words, HW accelerated audio in an MKV

isn't even possible. Basically, NVIDIA gave us high profile video with no audio!

NVIDIA Tegra 3 Audio Support Specifications:

AAC-LC

AAC+

eAAC+

MP3

MP3 VBR

WAV/PCM

AMR-NB

AMR-WB

BSAC

MPEG-2 Audio

Vorbis

WMA 9

G.711 *

QCELP *

EVRC *

* Through third party

Encode

AAC LC

AAC+

eAAC+

PCM/WAV

AMR-NB

AMR-WB

Notice that there is no mention of AC3 support!

Here is the link if you wish to check the specs yourself: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-3-processor.html

The TF Prime, TF300 and Toshiba excite are all handicapped when playing video containing AC3 audio, such as just about every MKV.

The tf300 cannot play an MKV with audio in the built-in audio player. The video plays silent.

MX Player cannot play an MKV with HW audio. You must select software audio or else the video plays silent.

Only Dice Player can play an MKV with sound.

But, I suspect that dice player simply defaults to its own software audio and is NOT using HW audio acceleration.

The Acer Iconia on the other hand, has licensed Dolby Audio on board, and I suspect, has added codecs supplied by Dolby. It is my guess that THIS is the

reason the Iconia can play MKV's correctly.

It can play an MKV with audio in the built in player.(ASUS tf300, TF Prime, and Toshiba excite cannot)

It can play an MKV with audio in MX Player WITH HARDWARE AUDIO SELECTED! (ASUS tf300, TF Prime, and Toshiba excite cannot)

It can play an MKV with audio in Dice Player. (ASUS tf300, TF Prime can also do this because Dice apparently supplies SW audio by default.

Take away message:

Only the Acer iconia a510 has AC3 support across the board and can universally play MKV AC3 audio.

All other Tegra 3 tablets are at the mercy of the 3rd party video players and their supplied software AC3 support.

Of course in the real world, this may or may not be important to you. It is certainly possible to play MKV video quite well in Dice player on all of these tablets. However, if 3rd party support for your chosen player fails, you must understand that the built in players in these tablets will play silent with most MKV files. Only the iconia a510 does not rely on a 3rd party player for MKV playback.

As a disclaimer, I own both a Transformer and an a510 so I have no personal bias toward either. I am quite fond of both, and both have their pros and cons.
[Transformer TF300T General] Digital Man:
Supersoulfly: Quoted from previous thread,

Perhaps someone knows, was AC3 a problem with Tegra 2 also?

I personally am using the BS Lite player to get my MKVs to work. If Nvidia dropped the ball on this I don't see any other solutions than outside software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes it was. In fact myself and I believe another member, emote were responsible for long threads showing how to split MKV files into two parts, remove the audio, convert to another format and put them back together. The objective was to avoid having to transcode the video. Tegra 3 is much better, because at least it can handle the high profile video well, and it has the software horsepower to do the AC3 decoding. Just seems that the problem really shouldn't exist at all at this point.

Course the next thing I would be curious to know, is if exynos or snapdragon processors support AC3. If they do, it might bias me toward them in the future.

The Transformer Infinity is rumored to have (or will have) multiple processor choices. I know I would be inclined to chose the processor that supports AC3 as well as high profile video, so that MKV files just play without all the software workarounds.
[Transformer TF300T General] supersoulfly:
I'm not too interested in the infinity yet. Really would like to see how well the Tegra 3 (or snapdragon) runs at that high resolution first. That high resolution is new territory for Android and ICS, not sure how app friendly it will be either.
[Transformer TF300T General] bigfry:
Just a random thought, but I would guess it has to do with licensing fees.
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
This makes sense. And Wikipedia shows that AC3 is just another term for Dolby Digital, which is why it was on the Iconia tab.
[Transformer TF300T General] Digital Man:
Of course it has to do with licensing fees.

But can you imagine buying a Blue Ray player or Reciever that can't decode Dolby soundtracks?

Dolby digital is a pretty common format.

And when you call the company to complain that your blue ray player or reciever won't play audio, they tell you to get an external decoder for the audio, our players just handle video?

If you question the importance of their decision, ask yourself:

Why did Acer think that it was so important to get Dolby audio onto the a510? Why did Acer pay the licensing fees that NVIDIA didn't? Because someone at Acer realized that the video player on the iconia can't play any videos. And the first thing the customer is going to do when he gets home is to dump the latest episode of his favorite TV show on his Acer tablet and see how it plays. And on the Acer a510 it actually does! So why was Acer able to think through what the customer wants, and NVIDIA unable?

Remember NVIDIA is not a small outfit. They make computer gaming chips that are designed to play and support just about everthing. To not support a codec that is present in just about every downloaded movie on the planet is strange. But remember this is the same company that designed a chip, the Tegra 2, that couldn't even play high profile video. I had to transcode every movie or TV show that I played on my galaxy tab 10.1 since the day I bought it.
[Transformer TF300T General] Gig11gs:
Have you tried to play it on Dice player ?
[Transformer TF300T General] Digital Man:
I think you are misunderstanding. There isn't anything wrong with MKV playback on these tablets. Dice Player works well on both the TF300 and the a510.

The point is that, the absence of audio in some players, like the stock player in the TF300 or the HW audio option of MX Player has always been assumed to be due to a fault in the video player not using the HW audio decoding capability of the NVIDIA tegra 3.

I'm just pointing out that missing hardware audio - or missing audio altogether in some of these players is because there ISN'T any ability at all in the tegra chip to decode these soundtracks. If the programmer hasn't implemented a software decoding solution, you will get no audio.

Dice Player has a software solution, it decodes AC3 and you get sound.

MX Player has a software solution, you select it manually and you get sound.

The stock player depends on Tegra 3, therefore you get no sound in your video.

The a510 has a system-wide fix for the NVIDIA's lack of decoding capability. Acer paid dolby to implement the decoding that should have been native to our tablets, so any video player will work. Even the stock player.
[Transformer TF300T General] BierLiebHaber:
I'm guessing nvidia didn't include dolby digital because it would be quite pricey to license it and they want to get as many companies to use their chips as possible

so they didn't include it but if companies themselves license dolby digital they probably provide hw decoding
[Transformer TF300T General] mendez84:
Well about the audio AC3 , its does play Ac3 , about 2 days ago i saw a movie with ac3 audio and works fine, you only need to download the BSplayer lite and will play all formats ...
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
Yes, you can hear AC3 audio from this tablet. The thing is, it's being decoded via software, not the actual SoC. That is the OP's gripe. Hardware decoding requires much less work for the processor, which means better battery life. Plus, it would be much smoother and more consistent than software decoding.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harry_Y:
I have searched and tried a few apps but I am still unable to get the Speaker Phone

audio to output via the doc (I can get all the other audio just not the Speaker Phone).

My main issue is that while in the dock the audio is too low to hear the caller,

I can hook up a small speaker/amp so I can hear the audio a bit better.

I would rather not need to plug it into the top headphone jack.

So the questions are:

Is there a audio re-director that will redirect the speaker phone audio out

through the dock (via the usb, as it does with the other audio sources)?

If not can I mod the doc to tell it to push the speaker phone audio?

(I read the "Fun with Resistors" thread and did not find any info there).

Is there a good (that someone can recommend from experience) Blue Tooth Speaker

or Speaker/Mic that I can mount in the overhead that works well with this phone.

Thank you

Have you rooted your ROM? Not too keen on the S-off error messages but it looks like an error finding a directory because it doesn't have the root access given by superuser. Or I dunno, simply asking if you have rooted.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Do you have USB Debugging selected?

Also, make sure you run ControlBear as admin

Right-click the Windows .exe file to "Run as Adminstrator" by the way, as LunaticSerenade suggested. Gotta make sure you got privileges all around and communication haha.

usb debugging is on, i assume i'm rooted because i am able to freeze system apps and titanium Bu says i am, and i am running control bear as administrator, question i do have is about adb drivers/fastboot drivers? i am installing htc sync now for the fastboot drivers then i will un install sync leaving the drivers behind. is there certain files i need in a folder to do this properly or just hook up phone w usb debugging and run control bear as administrator?
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
ControlBear should have everything.

If you have adb installed, use adb devices to see if it picks up your phone.

If it does, everything should be good. Make sure also you have the right version (GB or ICS).

One last question for the night. Are you connecting the phone before or after running ControlBear?

Two, actually. Did the phone show up in adb devices?

[edit] ControlBear clearly sees your device. So never mind the adb thing.

You may want to flash a stock rooted GB ROM. That will remove some variables.
