[General Questions and Answers] alex1986cy:
The time has come to sell the best phone ever (HTC HD2) and i will be selling it only because i am not happy with the camera photos and videos quality otherwise the phone is still awesome especially with miui android roms.

I read & watched all the reviews of both htc one x & galaxy s3 but i have a big dilemma and i hope you will help me decide which one to choose. What i like on htc one x is the awesome display that produces correct colours but i don't like the camera quality in videos and the noise in the photos. On galaxy s3 i like everything expect the display which is worrying me because of the pen tile problem with whites that look like blue or purple and the lower ppi density.

I don't care about benchmarks, battery life, user interface and all this things because i know that the custom roms will fix problems on both phones at some time.

My questions are:

1. If a buy htc one x is there a possibility in the future with a custom rom the camera match the quality of galaxy s3 both in video (higher bit rate and fps) and pictures (not so much noise)?

2. If i go for galaxy s3 will the developers manage to fix the display colours a bit or it's something that can't be fixed because of the pen tile technology?

Please don't answer me like an htc one x or a galaxy s3 fan i guess my questions are more related to the developers
[General Questions and Answers] charismakid:
buy the galaxy s3 . I am a proud owner of the phone . Its really very good . You will love it .
[General Questions and Answers] ablinjin:
From what I heard, you can go into the Settings/Display/Screen Mode and change it around to help with the color problem on the amoled.

As far as the pentile/non pentile screen goes. When you get to dealing with such a high ppi (<300) it is physically impossible to see any pixels. Remember apples advertisement for the retina display. You literally have to have a microscope to tell the difference.

The amoled on the sgs3 will look better at angels and also consume less power. (Go to battery settings and see what takes up most your juice. so the screen taking less power is a huge bonus)

Also, touchwiz is more stable than sense. Not as flashy and good looking, but more reliable and faster.

Galaxy S3

no explanation needed
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
1.the fps rate on hox cannot be repaired with a software update ,as it goes down to the cpu. Ie hox will always have lower fps during video recording.

2.there is no problem in s3 regarding the display until you compare it with hox,and yes hox has better display by a slight difference.

And there is no problem in s3's screen its great , again if you dont keep s3 side by side to hox.

Im going for s3 ,get the one which matches your requirements.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Camera is a hardware, no one can make it better. Get the galaxy s3
[General Questions and Answers] jwchips:
I faced the same issue, what could possibly replace the hd2? I went for s3 due to removable battery and expandable storage. Screen is amazing, I've not had any of the pink screen tint, it's got really good viewing angles. I'm also on day 2 from a full charge!

I would go for Galaxy S 3. Has better battery life, amazing display, design-wise I also like it more than HTC One X...

im in the same dilemma 2, but:

i will go for S3. we can use USB OTG officially,we can use MicroSD and more storage
[General Questions and Answers] Marne Jr:
NO DOUBT!!!!

I had an HTC one X ... sold it to my brother and now I am at S3...

I didn't see ANY advantage of HTC one X (except for the Sense4) !!!

FOR S3:

- Better battery (almost 80% more using time after installation of stock rom)

- Better video recording

- Display quite the same

- Can change battery (for me it is essencial, change battery after 2 years or have an extra with me...)

- Option to put external micro SD

- Bigger display (almost the same)

- Display quality almost the same.

- Will be more easy to put jeally beam (Sense 4 will be a block for Jeally bean).

- More reponsive
[General Questions and Answers] vivek_bhoj:
There already exists a camera mod for one x which enhances it a lot and u can even take larger size images

If u want better screen, love sense and tegra gaming go for one x

There is very good developer support for one x, it even got working cm10 jellybean ROM before s3

If u love black colors and want official jellybean update early go for s3
[General Questions and Answers] garagedroid:
I would go for S3, because I like Samsung in general (own a Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus) and from those reviews that I've seen the camera is much better on S3 as apposed to HTC One X. Also there the battery is replaceable on S3, which allows you to use extended batteries, when on HTC One X you can get battery cases. The last one is more of your own preference, but a lot of people get picky here and dislike the internal battery solution on HTC One X that requires you to take it to service if you ever need to replace battery.
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
It enhances cam quality but frame rate would be same and I can get tegra effects with chain fire and sense too :)

Also screen is not necessarily better depends on what you want ; want better whites hox : want better blacks s3

There is no dilemma, go for Galaxy S3. A phone with proof of regrets.
[General Questions and Answers] vikas.mishra:
Galaxy S3. The Dual core A15 in the S3 has about 20-40% single threaded performance improvement over the Tegra 3 (T30) in HTC one X.

Also the custom rom support for the Galaxy series of devices is also excellent. Not sure if it makes a difference for you or not, but I would consider that a solid plus for the S3.

The phone has excellent battery life, a great screen and very good performance. Not to mention it is very well supported.

BTW - I am assuming this is the US version of Galaxy S3. If you are talking about the international version, the performance would be about the same. But the rest of the advantages will still hold.
[General Questions and Answers] dagurim:
S3... or wait for s4
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
International. S3 is quad core a9 ,though the US varient has a dual core but it is not an A15 ,architecture is similar to A15 but a15 gives better performance.

International s3 has a better gpu so gaming should be better on international one

Rhapsody stops playing constantly!

I have a problem, if I start play bck in rhapsody and then switch to Maps, plan a route, and then back to any other app my rhapsody playback stops! When I go back to rhapsody the song has to be started over from the beginning.

Is this because of Sense multitasking? Or is something else wrong?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Basically, theres a bug in most ics kernels that will corrupt your data memory to the point where the only way to fix it is to return your device to samsung for a motherboard replacement... Or you can repartition the chip so you miss out the bad memory sectors, usually you'll lose about 3 or 4gb of space.

The only way to tell if this has happened will be to flash a stock gb rom and kernel using pc odin, check dr. Ketans thread in the stickies of rom development section to get a gb rom. If that still gets stuck at factoryfs.img then its likely youre bricked and will need to get your warranty replacement.

Dont do any more wipes or restores while on ics!!!

Did you send your SGN direct to Samsung or take it back to your network? I just sent mine back on Friday direct to Samsung. The lady I spoke to said it will take between 5-10 working days. I hope it gets sorted out quickly. Had to go back to using a Nokia 6210. LoL

Oh and to the guy that started this thread,I hate to Bethe part poopper but your device is bricked. Had exactly the same problem and used ODIN as well. Got exactly the same results when I tried flashing it back like you did. Yo can either sacrifice some of your memory or send it back to Samsung for mother board replacement.

Looks like I also facing the same problem as the owner of the original thread.

I even "forgot" what I have actually done to my phone after so many steps eg. recovery, CWM, wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache etc.

Finally I only got a phone with hard-brick, just stop at FactoryFS.img during PC Odin flashing.

At last, no choice but sent to Service Centre for MoBo claim under warranty (before that sent to shop to reset binary counter & yellow triangle sign).

Now, I can only wait until it's repaired & receive call from Centre. Same experience as the owner. Hope this will never happen anymore.

I've been using the Flyer for a while now and I am really happy with it.

Facebook for Android always had a weird way of showing on the tablet (at least for me?) when compared to the way it displays on my Desire Z.

For example, the Flyer Facebook app won't display timeline-enabled profiles. And it does not use the new layout Facebook rolled out a few months ago.

With the latest update though, in landscape, it only uses half the screen!
