Incredible to read, awful for you.

Touch wood indeed, hopefully it will be ok this time. ;)

In the 8 years experience I have with HTC I never experienced such thing.

My previous devices, HTC Universal, Kaiser, Artemis, Blackstone, HD2, and now One X and no problem once again, amazing isn't?

I can't believe it, so much luck I have.

One thing you probably must admit, the service of HTC must be great if they try to fix your device 4 times in a row isn't?

And they must have done that very quick as well because the device isn't that long on the market (1, max 2 months?).:eek:

Honestly, I wish you good luck with the current device. :)

Edit; I see you both (Op and you) come from the UK, could it be possible HTC shipped some bad quality samples to the UK?

It's just a taught.
[HTC One X] AlecTPR:
got mine delivered approx 2 weeks ago and not had any problems at all.
[HTC One X] gonzo99:
I had a Touch Pro 2 and then a Desire Z and had no problem with either of them, so it does seem that something went wrong with the HOX

Well actually the praise goes to T-Mobile, they are the ones who swapped without any questions - and without checking if they were rooted ;)

The first 3 lasted about 7 days each - I got to know the delivery driver exchanging them quite well!

It's possible. It's also possible that they rushed the launch to get out ahead of the S3 and consequently cut some corners.

I think that's a tad harsh :rolleyes:

The HOX could and should have been a stunning phone and there is still room for most of the problems to be ironed out with software updates.

I'm not sure Tegra 3 was the wisest choice though - It just seems to run too hot for its intended use in a phone - maybe we'll have to start getting used to fans in our phones! :eek:

I'd have been happier with an S4 and this screen and design (though I'd give up a few mm for a bigger battery). Seems like for once the US has the better alternative to us :)
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Hmm.. I don't think HTC needs to push out anything to stay ahead of Samsung. :rolleyes:

And those words are only assumptions isn't?

Fact is, in a forum there's always more negative feedback as positive, because people who are happy with the device don't have the need to talk about it.

I love the HTC One X and I don't have the experience like you have with it.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
But.. 4s is already one big defect..

Sorry, but your post kinda deserves it :p
[HTC One X] r2b2:
I agree with this completely.

I know more than 5 people with a HOX and none have had any problems.
[HTC One X] gffmac:
My ONE X is perfect! Got it June 1st, not a problem at all. After reading all the negative comments a while back I did find myself looking for issues that I wasnt aware of but if you look so hard you will most likely find some tiny imperfection, these threads tend to make people do that.
[HTC One X] crsnwby:
no its evidenced, they are trying to compete directly with the market leader since the S2 took over the market.

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...mobile-market-share-for-first-quarter-1078612
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Which evidence you are talking about, who says they are trying to compete?

I don't read anything about HTC pushed out the One X.

Sure that other company pushed out a lot of phones I read in the article.

Aggressive commercials always work but they don't say anything for me, even if it's a market leader atm, it doesn't say anything about the product.
[HTC One X] dakine:
I don't get how some phones can get hot, mine never gets more than a bit warm even when playing tegra games.

What is different??
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Me neither.

The games I play:

* Max Payne (NEW ! :D)

* Shadowgun THD

* Flick Golf

* Grand Theft Auto III

* Mini Motor Racing

* Sonic 4 Episode II THD

* Pinball HD for Tegra

* Air Wing Pro

* Galazer

3D very recourse hungry games if you ask me.

My device should burn playing these if I read the stories in this thread.

And about multitasking, I know it sometimes has issues but I think that's more related to the app then to the machine.

For example, I do sports.

So I listen to music, check my training sessions with Runtastic, have a bluetooth heartrate sensor connected, plus a bluetooth stereo headset, checking my Facebook etc etc, multitasking works pretty good I would say, none of the apps close. :confused:

It's incredible how much apps I have installed and still my device runs great with plenty of memory and decent battery consumption.
[HTC One X] crsnwby:
So you think its coincidence that HTC released an unfinished phone 2 weeks prior to the Galaxy S3 from the market leading company arriving?

Of course it was a rush job to get it out before everyone this year buys an S3, its the only way they can get some of the market share that Samsung dominate.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
I disagree, it all depends what strategy you take.

For example, today we have HTC One X but who knows what will come tomorrow.

It wasn't a rush, the phone is great with just a few glitches in software, HTC will iron them out in the next update ;-)
[HTC One X] Thardan:
You're an unlucky man :eek:
[HTC One X] spekesel:
I've had my HOX since as long as it's been available here in NL. I've dropped it, kept it without a case in my jeans pocket and it's flawless.

I assume most of this is FUD.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
@those that say their phone doesn't get hot, have you tried doing gpu intensive tasks whilst on charge? That's when it gets hottest
[HTC One X] enyaj:
In my office there are three of us who have HOX's. Two white and one Black/Grey and we haven't experienced any problems. I'm sure most phones released these days have their glitches and all. Even the "perfect iPhone(for a lot of people hihihi)" needs to push updates to correct some bugs and glitches when first release. Have been to some S3 forums and they too have problems with the newly released S3's. Can we say they rushed the S3 because HTC might release a newer model? I don't think so. It's just a reality that bugs/glitches will always be there. There may be a thousand people to test it at HTC factories or same with other companies. But there are no better testers than millions of people all over the world. Thats how bugs/glitches can be discovered faster. Most important thing is how a company will handle reports of bugs or glitches in their product.

Did I go OT? hehehe...if I did, sorry :)
[HTC One X] A380:
It's impossible to keep the phone charging on USB in a car with GPS (Navigon) and Bluetooth on. So it's not running anything demanding, no fancy Tegra 3 stuff going on.

After a few minutes, the red-green blinking starts, indicating that the battery is overheating, and at the same time the charging isn't keeping up with the modest power consumption, the battery level keeps going down.

And that's completely and utterly unacceptable for HTC's top phone.
[HTC One X] Andy:
I use my One X with CoPilot & bluetooth and I get no overheating, The device gets warm but not to the stage where its thermal protection kicks in.

Perhaps Navigon isn't optimised for the Tegra.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Hi,

I'm using Navigon as well, it's my favorit Navigation program for years.

First on WM and now on Android, I've bought it in Google play Store for € 59,95, it's the first thing I did when I bought the phone.

It's incredible and you won't believe it but I have no such problem, no blinking red/green leds nothing.

The phone charges fine and Navigon is running great.

Are you sure you have a good car charger?

Edit; one more thing I forgot to mention, the One X is connected to my bluetooth car radio as well,

I can listen to music or answer a phone call.
[HTC One X] gonzo99:
There definitely does seem to be an issue in *SOME* HOXs with heat from the battery.

It's always hard to get a feel for how widespread the problem is, but in 3 generations of HTC phones this is the first that I've had problems with, and I've had 4 - so imo it does seem to be a QC issue, at least with some batches.

It would be interesting to compare the batches of those having problems, and it may well be a specific batch issue rather than a design flaw.

My third one reached a battery temp of 65C after 20 minutes of Glowball, the replacement never exceeded 45C. That's too big a discrepancy to be within tolerance.

The other problems, yellow spots, poor battery, may well all be related to the heat issue. I wonder if perhaps there are more than one supplier of the battery and one particular batch had problems like occurred some years back with Sony?

At the moment I see my HOX rather like a pet - cute and loveable, but in need of maintenance and care, with occasional annoyances, but I wouldn't want to change it. At least my HOX hasn't crapped on the carpet.....yet :p
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
That's a good point indeed, there are 3 manufactures used for the display, so maybe it's shipped with different manufactures for the battery as well.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Just some info again.

I've played Shadowgun THD for half an hour today and making good progress in the levels fighting agains huge monsters in 3d LoL :D;)

The device gets warm but not hot at all, trust me it's just warm nothing unusual.

The game runs smooth, doesn't stotter, it's awsom. :)

Galaxar I've played as well today for 15 minutes, it's an Arcade game not so recourse intensive as Shadowgun.

And also Max Payne I've played for about 20 minutes.

It has cost me 35% battery.
[HTC One X] doriann:
that is to do with carphonewarehouse and phones4u stocks . its the devices they buy so they can sell cheapest on the markets . otherwise the could not give you a better deal than the carrier itself .

if i am to buy a new phone in the future it will be from manufacturer directly .

could be just a myth but that is the only reason i would stay away from phone shops like that .
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I agree. You and I must have different phones though. I've used my One X at least a dozen times using CoPilot for navigation while streaming A2DP via BT while it's charging and never had the phone get hot better yet shut itself down.

As with every Android device what you load on to it yourself can cause issues. But we never talk about that with the One X. It's much easier to blame HTC for badly written third party apps, renegade task managers and battery monitors, and ****ty wireless routers. Maybe someone should start yet another God forsaken poll. :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] caedanne:
Need the original car charger 1A, I have the car Kit, it charges even with navigation and music at same time.
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
Call you tell Samsung to make their UI less misshapen? I was going to buy a GS3 on December because I want to upgrade my secondary phone for work but thanks to a friend I got to try out the GS3 yesterday and I changed my mind. Speed and performance was okay but the widgets... Especially the all important clock and weather for me... It was embarrassing to have others see it in public.
[HTC One X] leoni1980:
HTC WOE X

I'd like to state, as a starting point here, that I have been using HTC devices since the MDA Compact. This is perhaps not as long as some, but I like to think it gives some credibility to my next few statements.

I have NEVER deemed HTC hardware to be of particularly great build quality. By 'build quality' I mean the use of high quality components as opposed to a device that feels kind of nice in the hand. I'm talking quality antennas, cameras, speakers and overall respectable quality control. even in the very early days devices sufferered from extremely wobbly hinges, had an abundance of screen alignment and dead pixel issues and we generally not of the consistency of Nokia and Samsung units. Yes, every manufacturer has bad units shipped out, but as someone who has a taste of most of the interesting phones on the market I deem HTC to be the worst 'high end' manufacturer in terms of their overall quality control and component selection. Back then though HTC designs were innovative, and they were pretty much the only choice for decent touchscreen phones running a (then) viable OS, so their flaws were forgivable.

I can list so many devices that have gone wrong that it is almost unbelievable. I had an N1 that got a huge plume of dust under the screen, then the power button stopped working, two HD2s that developed weird screen blooming and another one whose cellular antenna completely stopped functioning. I had three Incredible S go back to Carphone Warehouse with different issues and ended up getting a refund, a Chacha whose battery lasted about three minutes which also had a dead pixel (also from the same store). Last year my Sensation went back to Regenesis THREE times with dust under the screen. On the second occasion plumes of dust started appearing two days after I received it back. Eventually I sold it on, so I've no idea if the problem returned. I gave up on HTC after this; but then the One X was announced and promises of better hardware focus and the beautiful design sucked me in. Sadly this was false hope: mine had a stuck pixel appear, then the GPS completely stopped working. I sent it back for repair and 15 days later my device came back with a dead pixel elsewhere and the lens cover completely missing from the front camera, so I now have a gap between the camera module and the housing. There is also a gap between the top of the screen and the bezel, where the screen has been replaced. I have escalated my problem to HTC management level and hope that they will replace my unit with a brand new one, untouched by Regenesis and with absolutely no problems but I'm sceptical. For all their apparent 'build quality' HTC still seem incapable of making a phone with the 'best' of anything; and their build quality is certainly not making positive strides. I've owned a number of Apple and Samsung products and have had nothing like the issues I've had with my HTC devices. In my opinion they have a long way to go yet. Well done to those that have never had issues: you should play the lottery more often.
[HTC One X] Andy:
I've owned HTC's for a number of years now. Starting with the Blue Angel (Had 2 of those), then the HTC Kaiser (which I still have today), HTC Hero (had 2 of these, still have it), HTC Desire HD and on to the One X.

Yes I wholeheartedly agree, HTC's build quality was never the best, poor in some cases. Infact, my Desire HD, which I had 3 of, not one had fitting SD/SIM card covers.

Today with the One X, I feel somewhat different, I don't have any of the issues that other report. No dead pixels, WiFi works great, no yellowish spots or tints, no screen flicker, no case/screen defects, no alignment issues.

It works exactly as it was sold to me. I don't consider myself lucky for getting this particular handset. But I can guarantee with a sense of certainty that I will have an issue with my One X at some point, like I have had with all my HTC's. Consumer electronics are bound to fail at some point/time, there is so much to go wrong. That's why I insure my gear that I could not be without.

As for Apple & Samsung build quality, I cannot really comment, My wife owns the SGS1 and it still works great today (CM7), but I'm sure there are users who have had issues with Samsungs & iPhones.
[HTC One X] Diamondback:
Please stay on topic guys and stop using bad language!

Thread cleaned.
[HTC One X] xdn:
I agree that people tend to comment on bad experiences with phones and not good ones. I'd add to that that some XDA users (myself included) are likely to find defects that most other people wouldn't care about.

However and I've said this before, with the One X we are seeing tens of people in this forum alone that have gone through the pain of returning their phone more than twice. It's statistically possible to get one faulty device, even 2 if you're really unlucky, or it would be possible for ONE person to get 5 bad units. But something's really wrong when many people are returning theirs 6 or 7 or 8 times. Or when companies like CPW had to take all their stock from their stores to install the latest firmware in order to minimize the high return rate.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
agreed. i was unlucky to go through 3 phones and then had to wait a whole month for my last phone to come back from repairs. and i have to say this. i could not be any more happier that i stuck with this phone now..granted i hated every moment the issues i been having but with everything sorted i am more than happy that i stuck with One X and not gone for the S3. S3 brilliant phone in its own right but for me i would of regretted not having sense and not only that the screen for me on this phone is ten times better than the one on the S3..

anyways what i am getting at is that after all the pain and blood spilled for this phone in the end it was all worth it:p
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
This is exactly what annoys me so with this forum.

YOU

are in the minority. Yet, those of us in the majority that are thrilled with our purchases are ridiculed and beaten down for saying so.

Granted 30% of devices being shipped with issues is certainly not something to brag about. But, if it were a lottery, a lot of people could get very rich. And since the poll was "perfect" or "not perfect" I'd guess that not all of the 30% with issues were experiencing major ones.

Looking at the leap from 1.X to the significant refinements in the leaked 2.X ROM, I'm convinced HTC rushed the One X to market in order to get there before Samsung released the SGS3. The design being a free-standing phone unit being inserted in to a single hard shell casing also seems to bring with it some precision challenges when it comes to h/w build quality. I'd assume (hope) that as more are produced quality is going to improve. Whether sacrificing some quality to be first to market was a wise decision will be judged over time.

And Diamondback raises an excellent point. What exactly is the topic? Yet another repetitive post by someone in the minority who has martyred themselves by holding on to a device s/he's clearly not happy with. If you're truly being made that miserable by your choice of HTC or the One X do something about it.

I'm empathetic to those that had or have issues but seriously, other than hearing yourselves talk and piling on to further bash HTC and/or the One X because a minority of phones have issues that by now we're all well aware of, what's the point? And I'll be damned if I'll let a vocal minority of disgruntled owners censor any positive comments I choose to share about a phone that I'm unilaterally and unequivocally happy with. And I have a very early build HT23 which according to the chatter of the unhappy should be plagued with issues.

The only reason I even bother creating posts like this is so that people looking at the One X have some logical counterpoint to review when their making a decision about purchasing the phone. Because the dissatisfied minority on this forum is the loudest and most entrenched I've ever seen and I've been on XDA for years.

And everyone makes it seem as if Samsung's somehow sainted in their production capabilities. Some SGS3 owners would disagree.
[HTC One X] jerseykat1:
just like the title says. I have finally decided to go with the one x over the gs3... But i want to switch to tmobile (att is evil) so i was wondering if there is any version of the one x that works on tmobile 3g/4g bands?

[Android Apps and Games] zoli232:
Hi there!

It's a little tutorial, how to completely replace Trebuchet with Apex Launcher.

So, first of all, you will need:

- an Android 4.0+ phone (of course)

- installed Apex Launcher from Google Play (recommended Pro version)

- root access

- Link2SD app (or another app with the needed functions)

- some backup app (doesn't needed, if you have the apk file of Apex Launcher)

// I used this method on my Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 with the latest GalaxyICS ROM(10062012). I don't take responsibility for the unsuccess on other phones or other ROMs. You can use another app with the functions needed instead of Link2SD. //

So, how to do that?

Step 1: Install Link2SD and set it up to be working

Step 2: Install Apex Launcher

Step 3: Backup the apk of Apex Launcher

Step 4: Find Trebuchet in Link2SD, open it, click "Actions", and then choose "Convert to user app"

Step 5: With the same process, convert Apex Launcher to system app. It's possible, that an error message will pop up and after that Apex Launcher won't work. If you don't get error message, ignore step 6.

Step 6: Reinstall Apex Launcher from apk.

Step 7: Apex Launcher should be now listed as a system apk. If it works correctly, just go to Applications list in Android Settings, and remove Trebuchet.

// Do a backup, before removing Trebuchet! //

So that's all, Android should now recognize Apex Launcher as a primary launcher, so if you go to Settings, and click on Launcher, it should bring up Apex Launcher settings, instead of "Trebuchet missing" error message.

For me it's working perfectly :)

If you have any questions, don't be afraid asking.

Bye

(PS: Sorry for grammar mistakes :))
[Android Apps and Games] akabadnews:
Nice information.

I did it a little differently.

Using Root Explorer, I went into the /system/app folder and (after changing permissions) moved Trebuchet.apk to my SD. Took my Nova.apk from my SD and moved it to /system/app. Reboot.

Seems like the same process just a different app.
[Android Apps and Games] mekayzer:
or you can delete the Trebuchet.apk and copy ApexLauncher.apk to the ROM in zip format before flash in CWM.
