In before "both the at&t versions of the S3 and HOX have the same dual core S4 cpu , despite one is secured like defcon and the other is open"

There used to be a time when there was one good smartphone and the rest were meh, and now carrier markets push similar hardware with different shells and makers. Yet we still want to lie to ourselves even though the phones will be long gone before the next batch of clones, and the next new argument would be irrelevant still

I think the sgs3 shell was too girly and sparkling, hence why I looked at the HOX and saw a phone that in my eyes was prime.

But just because you can't root or unlock immediately doesn't mean the phone is bad. We all come here to look for an answer and share an idea.

I hope one day manufacturers release one model capable to carrier standards instead of international versions.

Just remember it's a Cellular Phone before it's a smartphone. Network performance is just as important as hardware performance.

I've know bought the SG3 3 times only to return it cause of sucky Amoled and garbage battery, with crazy standby bug.

1X is a much more solid device!!!

When I was looking for a phone I went with the GS3 due to the HOX not having microsd slot or removable battery. Very happy with my choice although the HOX was a very nice device.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
better.....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 8125Omnimax:
To each is there own

AT&T HOX argument : can't unlock bootloader yet, or s-off. No micro sd card slot. Battery life is slightly better than predecessors. Hardware shell feels stronger than SGS3. LTE radio is very strong. Got beats audio ( at this point you can put that on any current phone through modification ) 16gb memory, non recoverable battery

AT&T SGS3 argument: Amoled screen shows false color and/or unrealistic reds and oranges. Battery life is slightly better than predecessors. Let's you burn custom roms by default easily hence yellow triangles ( which some methods can remove that warning or brick the device while attempting). Hardware shell feels like a cheap t mobile variant. LTE radio performance is good. Removeable battery

United argument: both have the same CPU chipset, screen resolution, same 8 megapixel camera with the same functions, NFC, etc. SGS3 infringed on patents , HTC made a phone that has limited memory expandability ummm just like the iphone

So does this mean choosing between the two has anything to do with better components, imo not even close

A Rom can only do so much for a phone, and it is too premature at this point to say what phone is the better deal. CM10 Benchmarks on stable releases should end this argument in due time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
This is a total crap thread and I could care less about a s3 or a hox or which one has a bigger pecker. I don't care who has better specs, better developing, better screens. I've had a pile of both phones. When a thread as worthless as this one is opened, expect me to add worthlessness too it. Roger?

Coming from an HTC inspire and before that a Samsung captivate when I went to att I knew I was either leaving with the hox or the s3.. well, I have the one x, and almost didn't on sole principle of no sd slot and battery, that really turned me off ,then I handled the s3, and it felt.no different from my captivate, like a cheaply made toy, the screen was like a CRT moniter from 1988 compared to.the HTC screen, then I rwmebered everything awesome about inspire and everything bad about my cappy.. the HTC phones are finished off nicer hands down, it just blows goats about the memory and HTC should.know.better but I know my GPS will work when I turn.it on and ill.beable to see my screen in direct sunlight, that's enough for me to stay..

This phone is a MAJOR contributing factor for me leaving and STAYING away after owning all 5 iPhones; even with the new one on the horizon.

Didn't hurt I got it for $50.00 during the $99.00 sale with a $50.00 Best Buy Freedom discount.

When it comes to Android, there's HTC phones and then theirs everything else.

I would pretty much have to disagree... Korean products are defninitely NOT the go-to source for all things with expectations of being super reliable or good for me (though if I could slap the interior of the sonata in my legacy GT I would). I do however have a Galaxy S2, and my wife has HTC One X. She's more the casual user, I like to tinker. We both had iphones before that, and I jailbroke them. I have never had any problems at all with my S2. Great phone. Last month I decided to root anyway, just to see. An even better phone, and with the kernel on it, I have stock ICS Rom as a back up that I can boot up at any time, but my secondary ROM is JB, a fairly new release, but so far nothing major. Anyway, back to my wife's phone, the One X. She hates the crap out of it. So just two or three days ago, I was like 'ok, let me read up on rooting your phone, so we can slap a custom ROM on it and see if it doesn't take care of all the loading problems.' Wow... what a TOTAL ****ING ASS PAIN it is to do this on the One X. Had the Galaxy figured out in less than half an hour. By the time I feel like I know enough to get the ball rolling on her phone... I check and she's on 2.2... You know what this reminds me of? The ****ing iphone we both detested and jumped ship from. She says "I should have just gotten you phone."...Naturally, I wouldn't mind going to an S3...she? she NEEDS it at this point. Good enough reason? lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
I mean absolutely no disrespect and I am a huge fan of Samsung, but a one legged monkey with a pipe wrench could root and flash a Samsung device. There is absolutely no skill or knowledge required. HTC does have a learning curve but after you got it..... Well..... You got it.

I have had no loading screens on 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gadgetz:
How would that be disrespectful if that's pretty much what he said. Easy to figure out the Samsung, PITA to figure out the HTC :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Yes I understand that:rolleyes:.... But their is no comparison in rooting and flashing ANY phone compared to a Samsung.... It's a joke system.... XDA is a place to learn how to do this and it's sad people trade in devices because they can't flash it easy:rolleyes:.... I also realize that everyone is not into "learning" about this stuff and just come here to make their device cool and function better.... Sometimes you have to work hard at things to get a desired result, not everything comes easy.

I disagree.....my Moto Atrix 2

was way easier to root than my GS3. All it took was making sure I had the latest drivers installed, d/l a file, connect phone to PC via USB and double click a batch file, about 15 seconds later the phone was rooted.

switching to s3

I got my S3 last week and this is the baddest damn phone I have ever had!!! I am 40yrs old and have owned more phones then most of yall are yrs old!!! This thing is fast, smooth! It's just quick! It's going to be the end of iPhone! Why do you think Apple is fighting so hard like they are? They see the writing on the wall. They know when Steve Jobs died so did their brain trust and their innovations died with him! The S3 is the best phone on the market - end of story!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I ended up with a s3 and I learned about rooting, recoveries, rooms mods blah blah on a Huawei ascend 2, which never even got a xda forum. Everybody has a million reasons why they think their phone is better, and for each person, all 1 million reasons are 100% correct, for them. Your 1 million reasons why your is better is also correct, for you. Do we not see why every last thread ever made comparing 2 devices are identical to this one:rolleyes:

The hardest part about rooting a phone is finding its forum on xda and posting a "whats the best root method" question in the general forum without reading a single thread, then have to wait for the flames to die down to get an answer.

Despite my love for this phone I keep checking Craigs list for someone wanting to trade their SGS 3 for my HOX.

I think I'll quit looking when HTC gives us sanctioned bootloader unlock.

I'm scared to death that something will happen to my bootloader unlocked HOX and I'll be stuck unable to install a custom ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
Ahh... Same here, the lock down by at&t just drives me crazy... And I'm actually using the at&t phone in Canada... God I regret buying my Hox cheaper at the states.

Edit: Slightly OT but how is the GS3 for someone who's been using the HOX?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cupps:
Came from an SGS3 to the One X. They're pretty similar, only a few noticeable differences in my experience:

*The build feels a bit heavier and more durable with the One X.

*The screen is slightly bluer on the SGS3 (only noticeable if they're side by side, anyways).

*The SGS3 actually multitasks, and does it really well. The One X just kinda pretends it's multitasking.

Beyond that, it's just a matter of TouchWiz and Sense, which is irrelevant once you root. Oh, and the SGS3 uses Odin and roots easily, where as One X on 2.20... eh, not so much. Anyone claiming either is head-and-shoulders better is delusional. They're very, very similar with just a handful of features that are unique to each (and it's just a matter of which ones strike you).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Everyone could talk boot loader, dev support and all that but it comes down to real world use. What is one of the most important parts of the phone? The screen. In everyday usability, this swayed me the most. The brightness, ability to use the phone out in natural light, and the true white levels blow the S3 away. My friend just got an S3 and the screen which I would have considered good before I have seen the HOX simply is inferior. Coming from an S2, it's kind of nice to have this LCD.

I like to actually use my phone, not play a stats war on a forum.

Aside from the extra GB of RAM, for me, the SGSIII has nothing on the HOX. That's why I'm buying one Thursday! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
I don't even have my One X (fingers crossed it arrives with 1.85) yet (free warranty upgrade after 2 DOA and 1 iffy replacement Galaxy S II's), and I am already trolling for someone that wants to swap for a Galaxy S III. For me its a combo of the crazy easy hacking, RAM/multi-tasking, and micro SD. I was actually disappointed they didn't offer me an Atrix HD (if I am going to have a hard to hack phone at least I would get micro SD, HDMI not over MHL, decent multitasking, and a nice skin).

Either way I win: either I use the HOX or Galaxy S III, until Galaxy S IV is released, I will qualify for upgrade by then.

Can someone explain the issue with multi-tasking on the ATT HOX? Is it remedied by using a pure AOSP rom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Stock roms don't multitask well at all. I mean open a web page. Go to email, send a text. Go back to webpage. It will reload.

Start a game. leave game to answer a call. game restarts.

AOSP fixes it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ericc191:
So this restarting of apps is fixed by using AOSP? Sounds like a non issue once it gets completely unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Unless you want to run a sense based rom.

It's something worth complaining about.

That is true.. I hear Sense is really coming along these days, though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobbyRob:
I just switched to att today and got the one x coming from T-Mobile with the s3. I just like sense better and the camera on the one x is so much better. Just my opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JuannTwo3:
I am on the brink of switching to an s3...mainly bc I'm on 2.20 and cannot root. But honestly, I love the aesthetics of the one x infinitely more than the s3. The one x is simply beautiful
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Grnfinger:
I too have been considering the SIII. I love the hox but the lure of the S3 is so tempting.

Wish I could trade for a week then I would know for sure, how can you decide playing with the store model for 5 minutes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
I love my hox but seriously the muti tasking drives me absolutely nuts! At work I have downtime at random and like to play games, surf the net, etc. during this period. It is driving me insane that it can't multi task for crap! I could seriously close a game, text and go back and have to reload the game. On top of this most games now eat data up so it's always reconnecting or whatever. I love the phone in every other aspect but that part is killing me. No I don't have it rooted or any roms on it at the moment but after this post I am going to delve into the developers forums see if we got anything goo going on. Haven't been on here in a while.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spiritcrusher33:
I have both.. like them equally.. will switch between the two when i feel like a change.. love the screen on the HOX.. but the lack of sd card and not being able to get a extended battery kinda sucks.. but still an awesome phone. same for the S3.. S3 is stock. HOX is rooted.. and waiting for a stable cm10 lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jthein1989:
Very easy to explain... Keep the quick shot off... if you take a single picture, they look amazing... The phone automatically tones down the resolution in order to keep the buffer low... Oh, and my two cents would have to be that the HTC EVO 4G LTE is the best phone on the market (ONE X with SD slot), just saying.

Edit: Battery also isn't a problem with Custom ROMs on this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bimmerd00d:
Haha what's up dude. I'm using your hox now. Good to meet you. I'm the same way. I can't decide between the two. I'll dance between the two for a fee months as my tastes change.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DSTG:
Lol, oh trust me, I take no offense taken at all. Like the One X apparently, you get the wrong update on the iphones and, there is almost always soon enough a way to fix, but somtimes it's a freaking puzzle. I had initially heard rooting androids were a bit more tasking, but like I said, I had/have no problems with S2, so when I finally decided to do it, naturally, it was easy...so easy a caveman can do it. So when I decided to get my wife's done, it was kind of a slap in the face to go back to the pain that was the iphone, only seems litle slightly worse lol. So I told my wife...'don't update....ever...EVER....eventually I'll get it rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lokicat:
Like many have said, it's the battery, RAM and the SD slot. My opinions:

Battery - I personally cannot stand the flimsy feel of a removable backplate. I am more for solid feel and slim profile than additional battery life.

RAM - I have yet to exceed the necessary RAM to multitask apps. However, I am not a heavy Facebook or social media user. I have messaging, email, music, maps, browser, and calendar all running without exceeding available RAM.

SD Slot - yes, in this age, 16 GB (12 available) sounds like it's not enough but I also personally believe, that local storage of media is the past and streaming is the future. To that end, all of my music and photos are on a Synology NAS at home and with their mobile apps, I can access them at any time. You can have similar setup with Dropbox, Box, or Sugarsync. The best thing about this method is that your medial files do not get tied to your device and can also be accessed from multiple devices and pcs. Movie streaming is supported but I don't use due to my monthly usage cap.

The only thing about the built in memory that worry me is loading enough movies to keep me entertained on 10 hour flights. But then again, I would rather watch 10 hours of video on my iPad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Uberchu:
The S3 has a removable battery, expandable storage, and larger battery size. Not only that, it is also getting Jellybean soon (at any rate, faster than HOX, and CM10 still has wakelocks). All for the price of a slightly inferior screen that makes up for it with higher contrast. Seriously, I would go with the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ws2112:
I am a former owner a HOX but now I mainly use my s3. The reason for me to switch to the s3 was mainly because I shattered my hox screen and was needing a replacement ASAP. My observation with both phones is that I love using the s3 for its speed and the mods. 2gb of RAM helps a lot. But I can't stand the screen of the s3 at all compared to the HOX. I miss the slcd2 screen. I have quite a lot of occasions where I can't see what the heck is going on on the screen of the s3. Whereas my gf's one x, in the same situations, works perfectly fine. The screen on that beast has no rival. I also love the build quality of the HOX more. Those capacity buttons may last longer than the physical home button on the s3. On the s3, I'm still having troubles double clicking the button. And I had an iPhone with a loose home button before, so I suspect in the long run, the HOX's longevity nay outlast the flimsy build of the s3. Just my 2 cents.

JOIN THE REVOLUTION.

Those of us sick with HTC's bullcr** are moving to the Galaxy S3. I have been able to bring over 4 of us, with more to come.

I've given HTC so many chances to give us a return on our investment, but no. They have screwed us over time and time again. The International One X is getting Jellybean in December, which only means that we are getting it later than that. Who knows when it will be? February? March?

And I can tell you this -- they are just going to provide botched kernel source again. Even a One X dev I talked to admitted it -- development isn't going to go any further with our phones until HTC does something about it -- and S-OFF is being worked on, but is becoming seemingly impossible. Root on 2.20 has been ruled impossible until they get some sort of bootloader sanction from HTC. This is all ridiculous.

I found a AT&T SGS3 on swappa, and sold my One X on the marketplace. Man, am I gonna miss this One X community. You guys just kick ass. That's why I want you to

come with me.

You may be thinking, "why would I downgrade?" The Galaxy S3 is not a bad phone, we all know that. The One X has much better industrial design, but for us here, you cannot deny that we all care about software. In the long run, you are much better off. The ROMS we have now are great, but who knows for much longer? Will our phone be cared about after 4.2?

Come to the dark side... the AT&T GS3. We need to liven up their forums. You will not regret this. :)
