[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] checksum123:
You got my point, I wasn't trying to start anything, just sharing the experience I have had so far.

I mean, I love the HTC one X, that's why I bought it in the first place. I love the bigger screen, the nice looking HD screen, the level of customization, widgets, the beautiful camera, etc... as I said this phone have all the bells and whistles.

But it falls short in terms of reliability when compared to the iphone. As someone mentioned before:

I totally agree with that.

I can guarantee that everyone in here has had some type of issue with their HTC one X, be it random reboot, freezing, overheating, WIFI disconnection, etc... and this is not only happening once, but enough to be noticeable and annoying. This is unacceptable, especially for something that costs over $600, and this is presumably the top of the line android phone. This phone is only a couple of months old, but if you google any of these issues, you will see a lot of discussions.

I can live with these issues for now, as long as the phone does not die on me, but in the future, I will think twice before buying one.

(NB: I have not rooted, or unlocked any of my HTC phones, everything was factory default)

Coming from an iPhone, I did set my expectation very high in terms of reliability.

BTW, I have owned an iphone 3, iphone 4 and iphone 4s, and I can tell you that I have never experienced any of the issues I listed above. I sold all of them except for the 4S that I keep as a backup.

I am a test engineer (QA) by the way, so I know a lot about build quality and testing a product (both harware and software) before releasing it to the public.

Months before releasing new iphone, Apple gives prototype to their engineer and regular people to test the phone in the real world and report back any issues.

I am pretty sure HTC engineers (ie:QA engineers) in some way or another were aware of at least some of these issues to some extend, but decided to release it anyway to the public.

Again, I love this phone, it is the best looking android phone I have had. I am just not very comfortable ( ?little bit scared? ) about the longevity, that's why I kept my iphone 4s as a backup phone just in case, otherwise I would have sold it a long time ago.

And remember, any new smartphone that comes out (android or windows) is going to be compared to the iphone. So if you want you product to stand out, study your competition and listen to your customers.

I'm in Canada so my experience might differ from you guys but the iPhone's unreliability is what drove me to android in the first place. Mind you it was a 3gs compared to a milestone lol.. but even now I've got a few friends with iPhone 4/4s and they are always dropping calls. I'll often have to call twice, and it isn't carrier related as they are on a variety of carriers.

My 3gs cost me a girlfriend and a job opportunity lol maybe it's Canadian carriers + iPhone but stability wise I choose android.

I only drop signal when I'm in recovery:cool:

Some people prefer a limited phone that "just works". Other people want more and are willing to work for a device that suits them perfectly. I love my HOXL, but I'd never recommend it for my mom, who only needs a phone/Facebook device. Sorry you had a string of bad luck, but that's not limited to Android. Remember "antenna-gate"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
I came from the iPhone world, and so far I've found the One X's build quality and reliability to be on-par with my 3G and my 4. However, I also acknowledge I'm haven't owned the phone for all that long, so things could change.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 00_MACKIE_00:
I have had an iphone, for about a week!! Was a total fail for me. Went back to my Evo 3D with Sprint......until I kicked them to the curb and went with AT&T..:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
(Perhaps surprisingly) I haven't had any issues with my One X so far. The only time it has gotten hot, frozen, or random rebooted (to my knowledge) is when I was trying the 1.91 GHz overclock. It ran on it for a while, but eventually decided it was not interested so I lowered my OC.

I guess mine came from a good batch :)

Just adding my two cents to help with the "string of bad luck" theory. My WIFI works great, no connection drops either. I have been rooted and running custom ROMs since Day 1 though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
In all honestly, if it weren't for HTC and their Sense interface, I would have been back on an iPhone a few years ago.

I live off Exchange mail sync/calendar.

The stock android interface, functionality and so forth, are complete rubbish and garbage. I see people with their regular android phones here asking me for assistance, it is so painful working on a plain vanilla android interface.

The look/feel of the mail/calendar apps, plus the features and functionality of each, along with the overall look/feel of stock android is garbage compared to iPhone and WinMo.

Sense really saved the day, and I really think my AT&T One X is the best smart phone I've owned so far with ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Regardless of what the OP's intentions were

this thread is "flame bait" in nature

due to the fact that he/she, in the end, puts the iPhone up on a pedestal. In XDA of all places. And it's regarding "

reliability

". I owned a Motorola V500 for 5 years (3 years as a primary and 2 years as a backup) and never had a single reliability or durability issue. Does that mean I should start a thread expressing how I feel the V500 is better than the HOX? I know, I know, apples and oranges, but it could be be just as well comparing it with another Android phone. It's comparing it to the iPhone that makes this superfluous.

I'm sorry if you think I'm directing this towards you personally. I just don't see the point in this discussion and why it needed its own thread when it could have been brought up in the other countless threads discoursing the HOX's build quality.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
Idk what's up with your phone luck, but I have had no issues with mine yet. I had similar issues with my Infuse 4G, but I half expected that. With my One X I have had no issues other than ones I create
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BertLingo:
I just switched back to my 4s the other day, but not because of any hardware issues. In fact, I'd say the hardware on the One X easily matches the iPhone. The camera is top notch, the screen is hands down the most beautiful I've ever seen and the overall build quality is superb. The only non-software issues I have are with the placement of the power button, which would be mitigated with a simple volume wake feature, and the actual size of the screen, which I find a tad too big to use with one hand, though it certainly has its benefits. What ultimately drove me back to a jailbroken iPhone was, surprisingly, the lack of customization options on the One X, or at least customizations that fit my specific needs. I missed having swipe gestures to control music on the lock screen (and Activator actions of any kind outside a few basic ones in Apex Launcher), SwipeSelection for easily moving the keyboard cursor left and right, and other little features like having my Twitter feed in the notification pulldown. I wish Android had a specific place like Cydia that housed anything and everything customization-related because the Play Market can be a daunting place to pick through. I really like Android, though. It beats the snot out of stock iOS, I think. So I'll continue using the One X, just not as my daily phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shawn1224:
I've read cases where the iphone 4s, lags, freezes, randomly reboots and pretty much does everything you're complaining about with the HTC One X, yet it has the moniker for being stable and just works. Thing is though I'm smart enough to know that not all iphones are like that.

So the moral of the story is, we don't all have those problems with our One X. Hopefully one day people will realize that not all android phones are 1 unified clusterfukk.

wow!!!! u had a horrible experiance i think its safe to say!!! i had to return 2 htc one x devices. they were both my fault!!! lol!! ive owned all htc devices, inc 1, inc 2, tbolt, rezound, and now my one x. i love htc, and i never once had a problem with any of them running stock! now, once i modded, and rommed them.......i had some problems, that were all me!!!!! my wrong doings! ha ha! i love htc, and i think they have done a tremendous job with the one x!!! i couldnt b happier! and ive never owned an i-anything, ipod, iphone, ipad, none of them......but ive played with them, my roomate has the 4s, i personally agree with most of these guys though. i cant give up my big screen, and customization, after all it is my phone, and it should look, and feel how i want it 2. :victory: thats why i love htc, and android. im sorry u had the experiance u had, doesnt sound fun. maybe down the road you can try again. good luck with everything bro.

Most likely user error. iPhone is more for old people or people that are not good with technology, ie kids, grandparents, communication majors, teenagers, or twenty somethings that still live with their parents playing in WOW tournys.

Most smart people dont have issues with HTC.

Just sayin...

There are actually some bigger HTC fan boys than apple ones. Give it up. Find a phone that works for you and stfu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] biggjohnson2k:
Lots of hate going on here! I'll be honest. I'm a huge android fan, but some people just want it simple no customizations, no widgets. My parents are a great example. They want web, an easy to read keyboard, and a loud ringer. For them an iPhone was the ticket. But if you want cutting edge software and hardware and one hell of a dev following, android is the ticket. :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BertLingo:
See, I don't really get that perspective. I mean, yeah, old people like iPhones, but that's probably due to marketing more than anything else. That's like saying because there are a lot of cheap Android phones only poor people get Androids. That's only a certain subsection. Lots of tech friendly people like iPhones, just like I'm sure lots of tech deficient people prefer Android. They're both incredibly easy to use, and, contrary to belief, they both offer plenty of customization options for both crowds.

So if he asked why he keeps going back to the galaxy nexus it would be ok? The point of his post, I believe, was to show the bad luck he had gotten with the One X. People see iPhone and immediately want their grudge to be known. I personally can attest to the quality control issues of this phone. When I read his post, the first thing I thought wasn't "omg omg did he just mention iPhone? The man should be shot." I understand where he's coming from.

Most of all? Who cares if he mentions an iPhone or even that he prefers it. It's his choice right? He didn't say everyone should get an ios device and that android sucks. No. He just said that his experience is different then someone else's. People just see iPhone and go crazy. I believe this is a perfectly valid thread in the general section.

Just so we're clear, you guys know that you're arguing over which cell phone is better and which cell phone of people buy? Is stating that old people buy iPhones really supposed to make people stop buying them or make people with android phones feel better? Smh.

It wasn't him that turned this into a flame war. It was the ones who can't stand to let someone have a different opinion than theirs. The ones who have to make it known at all costs and on all forums that their choice was the correct and best one. That you should be blasted for your opinion. This isn't how xda should be. It is, sadly, what it is becoming.

Sense has always been my draw to HTC. So many useful features compared to other overlays.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
I was just stating that I understand why this thread "would" be perceived as flame bait. Not that I thought it was.

And, No, I'm not saying it would be okay if he had decided to compare it to another Android phone, I was just saying that using the iPhone as a reference is what causes this thread to receive an

exaggerated

amount of opposition, that's what I meant with "superfluous".

And my main point was that there are already threads covering issues of the HOX's build quality, this thread is redundant just because someone thinks they are somehow more important then everyone else.

Trust me, the last thing I want is to see another "iPhone vs Android" thread. The main topic that I got from the OP was hardware issues, eg. overheating, screen/pixels, etc.

Wrong wrong and wrong. Just to cite an example, in the law and business faculties at my university, most kids graduate high school in the top 5% of the whole state. Many of them are incredibly smart, running societies/ clubs at uni and working part-time at big law firms. And guess what laptops do they use? Macbook Air/ Pro. What phones do most of them use? Iphone. So just because someone is disinterested in technology and just want something that is

a) high quality

b) low chance of hardware fault

c) instant customer support/ fix

it's their choice, their money. And they are apparently not dumber than any of you here, even the opposite. So generalizing a whole group of people is just stupid.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enigma00:
I couldn't disagree with you more. I like the HOX HW (and that's why I got one), but the Sense overlay doesn't measure up to the AOSP (especially with ICS/JB).

Like you, I live and breathe the Exchange e-mail/calendar apps, and the AOSP apps are just vastly more intuitive and simpler to use.

Actually, the best Exchange experience I had on a mobile device is the Windows Phone 7.5, but the AOSP isn't too far behind.

Hey guys yesterday galaxy tab 7.7 got Ics 4.0.4 update and today galaxy s2 got unofficial 4.0.4 update that Samsung made it. Both roms made on 28june so now we should wait for new 4.0.4 update for Note that maybe come very soon. What do you think? If you have more information please post it here.

And another thing is galaxy note got 4.0.4 update in China that made on 28june too.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mitko29:
Hello guys I am a owner of acer a100 ,but once I'have bricked it so I returned in the shop and they recovered for me .

So then I updated to ICS , but now my iconia is turning off by itself and I can't prevent it and when I try to apply the new update I get android icon with in big red color :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Are you trying to apply the update manually (update.zip) or OTA? Are you able to boot into bootloader mode? Have you tried resetting the tab (via pinhole)?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Also, how is it powering down by itself? Like random reboot, or gives the Powering down message? If its the powering down message, its a power issue, and you may as well return that one as well, it will only get worse to the point of not turning on at all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mitko29:
Well when the tablet is locked somehow the battery drain so fast that the tablet turn off , because the battery is empty.

But now when I am trying to remember what I actualy did its kinda hard :Д

I am not sure that I installed the ICS from the updater maybe I puted the ICS Leak from in here.

Will the tablet restore to honeycomb if I hold the button in the hole.(reset)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
No, Honeycomb will not be restored (unless you are running it).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
OK one more question, how long is is locked before the battery is drained? I've seen my own tab drop 4% an hour while sleeping before. My phone has drained 17% an hour sleeping before. There's always a possible software issue causing it, that's why I'm asking how fast its draining. Make a note of power left, put it to sleep then check back in 30-60 minutes and see how much its dropped.

Hey my wife just made me think about something she said that phone and computer company make their products to last a certain time so that the person will eventually have to upgrade so I want to know how long do u think this type of phone will if the person is actually keeping the up? Have anyone else ever thought about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
well there last update I think was gingerbread for our phone correct me if wrong but our phone wasn't supported for ICS so i think not all the products are support forever there is limit right now apple said that IPad 1 is not going to receive IOS 6 because is old and in the case of our phone its because maybe this phone wasnt a great impact in the matket so samsung didnt wanted to updated the phone so maybe that should answer your question:)

[HTC Desire S] JDDurrant:
Hello,

Short Question:

How do I flash a custom ROM on my Desire S in it's current state? I think I have all the differences in the command line on my Mac figured out.

Long Question:

The problem I'm having is with flashing a custom ROM to my Desire S. I have managed to flash ClockworkMod Recovery on my phone using fastboot commands, although I am not able to flash custom ROMs. I wipe everything in CWM and then go through the correct procedure of flashing a ROM as shown in many YouTube tutorials. However, when I reboot my phone it just stays on the HTC screen. I have had this problem with multiple ROMs and have waited over 30 minutes with the phone still on the HTC splash screen. I use a Mac, but I think I have figured out all the differences in the command line on my Mac.

If it is possible, I would also like to be able to S-Off my device. Having to connect it to a computer every time I want to flash a ROM is going to get a bit annoying.

Details:

Phone: HTC Desire S (Saga)

Current ROM: Android 2.3.5, HTC Sense 3.0 (Official)

Current State: S-On, HTCDev Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted

Android SDK Directory: /Developer/Android-Dev/SDK

Preferred Desktop OS: Mac OS X 10.7

ROMs I Want to Try Out:

MiUI - Website: miui_us

CyanogenMod - Website: cyanogenmod_com

Sorry about the messy links. I am unable to post real links in this post because I am new here and this is my first post. Just replace the underscores with dots in the links I have provided.
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
You are 'HTC unlock', try to extract and flash ur boot.img saparately.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
You have the SDK set up so just flash the boot.img from the rom zip separately using fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command you'll need to execute after navigating to the directory which contains the img.
