I have been posting here a little since getting my HTC One X (S4), mostly a little negative as I had been having bad battery and mostly bad reception (which lead to bad battery). I got it on 5/6 and even had the SIM card replaced thinking that was the issue. Data speeds were horrible (I'm in a "4g" area only, no LTE) and would be lucky if I got 1Mbps.

So today I went to Radio Shack and got it replaced. Holy Cow! I just got 3.75Mbps at home, where the most I ever got was just over 1Mbps on the defective one. Went to the gas station, speeds were still great and even in the movie theater I got a solid 2Mbps. My big test will be tonight to see if it still switches to EDGE at night as the old one always did.

TL;DR: If you think you have a defective unit with bad reception/battery, go replace it! And keep replacing it until you're satisfied!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
If only AT&T had them in stock for me to replace mine...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] veliksam:
I get 10mb down and up to 3 up at home on hspa+. On lte i get 30 down and up to 30 up. My only issue is with the wifi bug but I'm sure that will be fixed in the upcoming update. Damn i love this phone!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Exactly!! I have these same issues but not one AT&T store around me has them in stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Tiff, make sure the manager at the store you frequent knows of you problem and documents it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
i had to send mine to htc for warranty repair. didnt want to wait till who knows when for new stock. i dont trust the stores near me. doubt theyd want to use their limited stock for an exchange when they finally get them. id hear some kind of excuse.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
Couldn't you guys who got it from AT&T return it and get it from somewhere else?

I'm not sure how that return policy works, like do you get your "upgrade" back if you return the phone? Couldn't you then just keep returning phones every 29 days and always have the latest and greatest? lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I'm pretty sure they limit your exchanges to two.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slackercow:
no...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blackmannx:
clearly there are some devices out there with issues. Glad you were able to get yours replaced and are humming along. Now you need to get to an LTE are to see what speeds you get.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mosesman86:
they limit to one exchange within 30 days. if you return the phone to get your upgrade back, you must pay a $35 restocking fee.

they've planned ahead for people like you!

Sent from my HTC One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Problem is that they're greedy and want restocking fee regardless of exchange or return. So now it doesn't make sense to exchange. Return it and buy the other one.

It's not being sneaky or cheap. ATT just has a greedy, bad business practice.

Bought a 3gs and exchanged it for the HOX. HOX was bad took it back literally a day or two later. They said too bad. No exchange. I had to go through warranty repair. HTC was shocked that my phone was purchased days before and they sent me to them for an exchange instead of doing so in store.

Auto sales aren't even done that way anymore. Worst part was the store manager was giving me the whole ATT did me a courtesy speech for allowing the first exchange. What courtesy? I paid $35, got a different phone and it was defective and you told me to bad, talk to HTC.

While I'm on a roll I might as well keep going. Another issue I ran into during this ordeal was that I needed to return to the original place of purchase...what difference does it make if it was a corp. store?

Done with my rant...Sorry
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mosesman86:
wow, you have every right to rant after an experience like that! I'm sorry you got treated that way. Just to set the record straight, though, that's absolutely NOT company policy for AT&T corporate-owned stores. Since your One X was DOA, you should not have to pay a restocking fee. I worked for AT&T Retail until a couple weeks ago, and we wouldn't have done that... sounds like you ran up against greedy, bad people.

Oh yeah, and it doesn't master where you return it. As long as it's a corporate store. Are you sure the second place wasn't an authorized retailer? Either that, or they only had one or two left in stock.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] austin4913:
When dealing with att, its always a good practice to deal with corporate stores only. And that is sometimes hard to tell the difference...99% of the corporate stores will do the right thing..when buying phones I use best buy because they are usually a little cheaper but more so that they offer a $0 deductible warranty and a $30 buyback program where they offer you at least $125 in 2 Yeats towards purchase of new phone..can trade before 2 years and get even bigger credit towards new phone..$125 is just the least you will get...well worth the $30 l. Just my 2 cents..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] random1204:
The day I got it, I looked at mine and said...whoa.

The camera bezel isn't flush with the phone.

I'm NOT DUMB. I know it sticks out. - that's what the guy at AT&T said to me...what an idiot...

I mean like...where the bezel is set into the device, it sticks out a little.

Not to mention, I unlocked the device this morning to notice that the backlight of the recent apps button? Doesn't work anymore.

Needless to say, I emailed them about a possibly warranty replacement.

I LOVE the device - it's amazing! But...I don't think I can live with that when I paid for it outright...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
whoa! that's crazy! I got mine at radio shack and they did tell me that I was "suppose" to go back to the store I bought it at, but that was 250 miles away so she did it anyways. but the craziest part was that I actually got about 20 bucks back because the price of the phone had gone down. I paid no restocking fee either. based on all the stories I don't think I'll ever buy straight from att.

I've already tried flashing stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip and nothing it stopped and said incorrect cid. Then i tried a ruu and it couldnt flash it.

I dont have any clockwork or other recovery installed. Factory reset doesn't do anything either

What do i do to get it working?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zomer331:
Maybe try to flash recovery like the radio. Put my file to /sdcard and flash how you know, volume'-' + power button to get bootloader, etc...

If recovery flashed successful, change the name of image file in sdcard, again turn on to bootloader and choose recovery boot.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
As you are S-ON, you won't be able to flash a RUU that is not signed for your phone. That means, that you won't be able to flash a ruu that is not exactly for your phone / carrier. Don't try to install a CWM recovery not as PD98IMG nor in fastboot...you won't succeed as u are S-ON. You have just to flash a RUU for your correct model. What carrier and CID is your phone??

To find the CID you can get it by adb shell getprop in cmd. If you need help to do that just let me know.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze_yaya:
so how do you chek the cid with adb? i tried it and :confused:no idea

Just let me see if I can get a RUU that can work for u. Then try to update again....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_d:
If you have never rooted voda UK have a policy to replace the device if it dies in a software update, it will be a reconditioned one but may be worth calling them. Voda au may be the same, worth a try to see before you try anything more, I had another phone within 24 hours. Hope this helps.

Thank you everybody for your help, I had to send it to vodafone and now it works finally.
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
Hi all,

I have a slight issue with my phone which has been annoying me for quite some time.

Does anybody here knows how to disable the vibration/haptic feedback that we get whenever a "balance amount left..USSD" is received after using some 3G/4G data on a prepaid?

This is not an operator issue and I have already disabled every single option related to vibration/haptic feedback but couldn't get this one to a stop :(

Also I would not like to disable the USSD messages received but would like to just kill the vibration at that point. :)

Any help would be appreciated :D

Regards,

sky770
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Which ROM are you on?

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
Thx for replying :)

Well my phone is just a month old; still on stock 2.3.3 (gingerbread) with HTC sense v.2.1

PS: I am having some noob questions regarding root, upgrading to stock 2.3.5 update from HTC etc. But I will be making a separate thread for it.

[Galaxy S III General] araje:
I know both are totally different phones and I am not trying to compare them at all. But considering the price tag it is pretty much where iPhone 5 will be. So anybody sharing the same thought to compare S3 and iPhone 5 side by side to decide which one to buy.

By the way I was hoping that my next phone will be LTE capable. S3 is not there and I think iPhone may also not be since they have to manufacture specifically region specific. Any ideas if S3 plans to support LTE later

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Galaxy s3 all the way ( unbiased answer)

Also you are in Android and specially s3 forum what do you expect people will say?
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
It's always better to compare them side by side, but it's going to be a long wait, as the iPhone 5 probably isn't due for at least a couple of months. I'd rather be playing with a new phone, than waiting for an unannounced phone.
[Galaxy S III General] FireStone00:
Hello ,I am too confused like you.I have aleardy SIII and don't know to sell and wait iPhone 5.But I decide to remain on SIII because this phone is really great don't have big problems with him and I don't know what to say about iPhone but if SII is better than iPhone 4-4S , probably this thing repeatly with SIII and iPhone 5.
[Galaxy S III General] ÜBER™:
Sorry Android>iOS

To be honest I can't stand the iPhone or its operating system. It will be super small a measly 4 inch screen that's even if the rumors are true. The S3 is 4.8. Android just works.... a ton better than iOS. I would never go back to an apple product. But if you like it go ahead and get. But i will point and laugh at you :D
[Galaxy S III General] Infekxion:
What do you mean S3 isn't there? LTE will be on all North American and the NTT Docomo version plus 2 gigs of ram. If you want an answer on which device to buy, dont come to a thread dedicated to the iP5s biggest competitor and expect to hear any answers in favor of it. Just wait for the iPhones release and play with it side by side of the S3. My guess the only new thing in iOS 6 will be a trumped up lawsuit against Google.
[Galaxy S III General] araje:
Woa... Cool down guys.

I own a galaxy S and not too much of an apple fan as such.

The only reason I am relating them is due to the price tag for comparison. What's wrong in checking if there are people in the world sharing the same thought.

Not sure what part of it offends you. Do you think all ppl on this forum own a sgs3?? There are many ppl like me scanning This thread to make a choice.
[Galaxy S III General] Infekxion:
I wasn't saying GTFO this thread, I was just stating facts. I am a Samsung fan, not just phones, but I also search threads and play with other operating systems. I'm actually test driving a Lumia 900 rite now.
[Galaxy S III General] usb2007:
I have iPhone 4S, GS2 and GS3 and I rarely use the iPhone.

GS2 in my opinion is better than iPhone 4S so I truly expect GS3 to still perform better when iPhone 5 is out.
[Galaxy S III General] ÜBER™:
Its hard to even mention iOS on an android forum. Minus the iPhone links...
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
You probably wont have to wait. Odds are Apple is going to show off the iPhone at WWDC 2012 which is June 11-15, and usually they release them to the public not to long after showing them off.
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
In Android world SGS3 will be outdated by the time iPhone5 and next Nexus comes out around October/November. In fact Samsung may have an updated Note or may be an upgraded SGS3 kind of device with super amoled plus HD, it's quite possible.

But the thing is SGS3 is available to buy now and it's an awesome device. There will be always better devices coming in the distant future after buying any device.
[Galaxy S III General] Infekxion:
Also about the price tag $$800 for a device that does what Apple says or $800 for a device that does what you want it to. If you enjoy the customization of Android then go that route, if you want a phone that has seven hundred million accessories go with iPhone. But by all means don't base your decision on others' thoughts.
[Galaxy S III General] doccrow:
Frankly speaking go wid SGS 3 . By the time iPhone 5 will come out samsung wud ve already readied or in the process of readying SGS3 successor so u wud put the same question again Wait for SGS 4 ? Or go with iPhone 5.

If u want phone for fun go with sgs3 if u want a boring OS with almost similar maybe slightly better app support then go with iPhone 5
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
For all we know, iPhone 5 could be this juggernaut with 99999999 new features. But:

1) That's the thing: we don't know.

2) Considering that previous upgrades have been pretty much incremental (and indeed, they pride themselves on this and call it "consistency"), I wouldn't personally hold my breath. After all, apple has such product differentiation with their iSheep that they don't need to actively compete in order to maintain their sales. (This is to say nothing of their usage of litigation rather than competition.) But again, this is just my personal guess; they could have adopted a completely new strategy, for all I know.

What's well-known, though, is that other stuff would come out around that same time: the Note II, the Nexii to list the best known examples. Whether you want to wait for these is down to your preferences.

But the iPhone 5 itself is just a big black box. One that I don't think is worth holding your breath on.

I doubt it, but if the OP wants to wait 2 weeks to find out, that's not unreasonable.
[Galaxy S III General] dbzgod:
$800? O.o

In Canada come June 20th the 2GB SGS3 model will sell for $599 makes the SGS3 sound even better ^_^
[Galaxy S III General] PuntNL:
Great thread :)

Being part of the Apple of family for many years, currently owning a MBP, new iPad, iPhone 4 and an Apple TV, I am in the same boat. My contract expires in a month and torn between waiting for the 5 or switching to android and the SGS III. Even if a little biased, this forum is one of my main daily sources to check and help me make up my mind.

So thats that, keep the opinions coming..
[Galaxy S III General] gavinfabl:
I had a 4S, then the Note and now the S3. The S3 is very grown up, better than the 4S in many ways and looks better. Personally I would get the S3 as its available now and is a great phone. When the 5 is available check it out. You can then decide if you want to sell.

Unless iOS 6 starts offering widgets and customisation to the extent of android then I would stay with android. If you use iTunes and have a lot of media then iPhone 5 might be better.
[Galaxy S III General] Deleted member 4571279:
Yeah, totally agree with you.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

No, Apple cant now copy Android because it would mean that IOS sucks. SO homescreens on IOS would be an himiliation for Apple. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Skellig86:
You're best staying with Apple as it sounds like you love that ecosystem. Throwing in another OS at this point could just bring complications unless you have a great urge for 100% customisation.

And I suspect an upgrade from a iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5 will be a lot more noticeable than 4 to a 4S.
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
Apple doing quite good on iphone4s sales even though GS2 spec is better than it. No reason for Apple to invest more on spec/hardware to beat GS3. So if you are looking for great spec/hardware, just go with GS3. Otherwise, you better wait for Iphone5 which will create wonderful (predefined) user experience :D
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
I wouldn't say that (even though his inventory does ring up one or two alarm bells). The S3 is a decent phone for "making the switch", indeed it seems so targeted that another thread speculates it was "made for iPhone users".

But I would also make this recommendation in the context of a prepaid (or at least a non-contractual) service. Two-year contracts are one of the reasons people are so afraid of change and just buy more of the same thing. The better approach is to just get the hardware no strings attached, so that you can exchange it later without any remorse, if necessary.

More like a great urge for 30%+ customization :p
[Galaxy S III General] brekec88:
Obviously everyone in the GSIII forum (let alone on an Android mod website) is going fo tell you to buy a GSIII because after all, they did. Go to like Mac rumors or cult of Mac, ask the same thing and they will say wait for IPhone 5. Make the choice on what you want/need not what others want/need because if you would like I can direct you somewhere they will tell you to buy a windows phone (yuck!). Please no flamers I jk about windows phones I have never used one. But if you do want to switch ovet to Android now is the best time with the GSIII or HOX.
[Galaxy S III General] snowwhite007:
OK so here's my 50cents. I currently have an iPhone 4s, galaxy s3 and HTC One X. I am not biased at all and I love all my handsets. Iff I had to pick one of them it would be the gs3. The reason being the gs3 has many practical features I need on a daily basis. Removable battery and expandable storage simple features but a must for me. To pick a handset you must compare all there features and see what suits you not what suits anyone else.

Hope you get what your looking for
[Galaxy S III General] brekec88:
Obviously its not a must if you bought an IPhone and a HOX lol :P I am still debating on HOX vs GSIII but leaning towards HOX. I thought SD card removable battery were a must have top priority for me but I've come to realize it is over shadowed by screen display and build design. Just my 2 cents I am still in the air and will get 2 outa 3 (HOX.GSIII.Iphone 5)
[Galaxy S III General] PuntNL:
Thanks for the responses so far!

You know maybe at this point I just wanna hear 'get the SGS3'. Really impressed by the set and looking for a little more customisation especially on a phone than iOS currently offers. But the ecosystem is a huge plus which keep me a little bit tied up with apple and holds me back from making he decision. However cant ignore the absolute arrogance of Apple on the phonemarket...

So still torn..
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
My S2 had 4,3'', the S3 now has 4,8'' which is the maximum I can operate with one hand.

So my next phone must be somewhere in between.

The reported 4'' of the iPhone 5 are too small, it doesn't matter what other specs it has to offer. Too small, is too small, is too small. Basta!
[Galaxy S III General] Sir-Awesome:
S3 is LTE capable, just that it will use the Snapdragon S4 for now.

Plus the Snapdragon S4 version gets 2GB RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] snowwhite007:
I didn't buy any of the handsets just lucky enough to have a job where I get all the latest handsets and expandable storage is defo a must 32GB is no where near enough for me so rules HOX out all handsets have positives and negatives
[Galaxy S III General] NaabKing:
Personaly, i don't like iOS, i had Samsung Galaxy S and sold it (cuz i'll buy SGS3), untill i'm waiting for the call for SGS3, i'm using iPhone3GS and i'm really struggling with it, i really dont like it, to turn on Bluetooth, you have to click like 5 times, Wi-Fi 3 times and iOS is just an app drawer, nothing more, but on Android i love the home screen and widgets, cuz it makes your phone MUCH more customizable, on iPhone you can just change backgroud and rearange icons and that's it... (= And i hate iTunes, if i wanna copy Music to my phone, i wanna use Explorer and do copy/paste, not sync it -.-

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple would come out with some kind of Desktop on iOS, like we have Home screens on Android, they already copy-ed the Notifications (when you pull down from the top) :) I hope Google has that home screens on patent so Apple can't do it :D
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
How is the ecosystem of apple a huge plus? For me it would be the exact opposite, as it would force me to buy apple products in the future as well.

To be honest, I doubt the iPhone 5 is going to be bring any new must have features that aren't already present on the Galaxy S3. It won't be bringing removable storage and battery that's for sure, nor will it bring a Super amoled display. I just fail to see what could be so special about the iPhone 5, given the fierce competition from the top androids.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
what made you to ask this question on sgs3 forums? :D
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
