Bought it for smoothest multitasking and seamless switching between apps.

So, you're saying that you are happy with your phone only having 2.5 hours screen on time and that you have nothing better to do during the day than to babysit your phone while it charges??

Anyways it doesn't matter, games on a phone are a moot point. If you play them, then you have to get used to the battery draining like someones drinking a carton of juice.

Whats the point of buying a phone if you're gonna use it for gaming and "kill its battery", why dont you buy a console instead and sit there like a lemon playing your games all day??

I buy a phone to use it for calls and texts... I buy a smartphone to use it for web, multitasking and general communications. Ok, I may play a light game on it a couple of times a week (Air Attack HD for example) for 30mins - 1hour in total but that's about it.

I'm not gonna try to turn into some extra exciting gaming station because why... whats the point???

2.5 if i choose to play games on it, im telling u the worst possible scenario of straight non stop gaming with boost ENABLED

if you don't abuse it like this, it will last you a lot more

the point here we want that power available to use when we want to, but we can conserve by not pushing it! for example the boost mode is off by default and we turn it on using renovate gaming boost when needed

but you people are asking kernel devs to break Tegra3 all together for the sake of battery and thats just crazy you are asking them to break the advertised abilities of Tegra3
[HTC One X] gkm8123:
i have buy this phone for games too, but whith heat up i can´t play....:(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you guys should believe me cause i tested this abilities on Tegra 3 till high heaven on our One X

we were lucky HTC gave us massive IO speed with it (internal storage bandwith), which allowed the T3 to show what it can do, especially mutli tasking

on the Asus devices its no where near as good to our tweaked boosted HOX
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
i'd suggest you to try wp instead of android, it fits perfectly for your esigence :p

as far as i know the evita one x is smoother on multitasking and on browser + it has lte.

i don't say that i want kill the battery with crazy useless overclock but just optimize it for the gaming and that is the strenght of this phone.

what's point on having a super battery life but a mediocre performance when you have portable batteries that allows you to use the phone for 10h+ on screen battery life, and there's nothing that can replace the perfomance, i don't use the phone mainly for heavy gaming but i still play alot (around 1h per day)but i think is a great plus that all non-tegra 3 devices don't have.

Buying a phone to play games on? What the hell is this world turning into.

Phone is a phone! It connects people! You wanna play games get a freakin game console!
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
There's two things.

Firstly, gaming is advancing in such a way that phones are quickly turning into machines with the capabilities of a console, AND a phone, who can say that isn't good and/or worth having? Eg, you're never going to dive to 300m, but it's nice to know that just in case you do, you can take your watch down with you :)

I'm getting just about sick of lugging my ps3 round my mates house, I can't wait until phones have the 4 way multiplayer via controllers, and equivalent selection of games and graphics. Then I only need to take my phone, hdmi adapter, and controllers. Just not having to find the games and take em as well is enough :)

Secondly they're making a console using tegra 3, so soon, technically, our phone IS a console.

I do know what you mean, but phones have essentially replaced pcs already, for the basic browsing/tasks etc at least, and gaming is another place to expand to, that many many people will appreciate. Loads of advantages of phone having the gaming capabilities, cost being a huge factor, now those who couldn't afford a console (me for instance until not too long ago) have a phone that can do the same! (granted its not the same quite yet, although graphics are stupidly close for a phone) I think it's brilliant.
[HTC One X] Andy:
Like most here, I bought my One X because it had the features I wanted.

Large Screen

Powerful CPU/GPU (will come in handy 12-24 months down the line)

Nice appearance

Good build quality (I know some have had issues, mines been perfect from the get go)

That weighty feel (Hard to describe, if you've owned a Desire HD/Inspire you'd know what I mean)

Good camera (for a phone)

I don't game on my phone, or use it in a way that I need any of the features it has. Its just something I wanted.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Haha the famous andyharney joined the HOX club

Be careful not to mess with this guy, he is awesome :D

And he chose, idiots game on phones, ouch! ;)
[HTC One X] Andy:
There was no option for, I just use it for a phone. I've had my HOX sine UK release. Just silently watching and reading from afar. :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Glad I broke our silence :)

+1 on ur purchase reasons

But the best thing on the HOX remains the awesome console quality gaming
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
I bought it for it to be a tank. If anyone remembers the lag on the desire. I'm using my one x so much that I'm selling my dsi and iPod touch 4G. People are struggling to belive that it will use battery. The best thing to do is HTC to make profiles so people who don't give a f about gaming can have power saver
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Yes profiles is the answer, so wish HTC listens...

Right now their stock balanced settings r keeping both sides unhappy
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Max out the performance for gaming purpose! :D I don't care about battery.. always have power pack beside me. :) Beside, It is good to have One X in my life.. now I don't need to brought along my psp. :D
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I picked the One X for two reasons. 220v messing up my Vivids battery, and Tegra 3. I love NVIDIA, and always will and the fact that I could have an NVIDIA GPU in my phone just sounded sweet. I don't even game much and its just for bragging rights. Me and two friends ran AnTuTu on my One X, my friends EVO LTE, my other friends Droid Bionic, his Nexus 7, and my Transformer TF300. My One X always comes out on top, and I have to give NVIDIA props for such awesome performance.

took the plunge and rooted yesterday - auralux lag is pretty much gone when renovate game mode enabled :D i like :) nice work. will donate when i have some spare moneys :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
please leave positive comments on the renovate gaming boost app thread or gaming thread

we need all the coverage it can get :)
[HTC One X] venkraam:
For gaming...but sometimes I get irritated with the amount of heat it produces.

Otherwise it's an awesome gaming device...
[HTC One X] Flo95:
Got it because I wanted it :D

I don't play Tegra 3 games on it.

Only Temple Run once or twice a month
[HTC One X] rimad:
I don't think that even 10% of users got HOX to play games on it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
might be true, but let it be a poll for the One X users in this forum ;)
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
I for one bought the one x with gaming in mind, I travel a fair bit and it gives me something to do. I actually was a little disappointed in the battery life, but I knew it wouldn't be amazing and gaming on a 1800mah battery. Id have loved a higher capacity one but as it is I take a charger with me and don't game if I need battery life.
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Sure I bought it for its gaming performances (well.....actually, I haven't bought it, it was a present related to my years of contribution to Fpse ^^ maybe I would have bought an S3, but I'm happy with the HOX and I prefer its screen)

Since early 2009, i've always bought a device only for its raw power and gaming performances!

That was the time when I discovered that with Fpse, I could play playstation games on a phone (the Samsung omnia 1, windows mobile 6.1, PXA 624mhz CPU^^), and more, I could play it way better than what possible with an iphone !

Then I bought the very 1st device with 1ghz Snapragon CPU: the Toshiba TG01 (and actually bought a second one after my 1st one was stolen!). I bought it before it was out in my country, and knowing it had bugs (sdcard erasing) and low battery life

Then I bought the HD2, first non-apple with multi (well, dual) touch + Snapdragon! (go to hell iphone, you'll never emulate PSX like that!!)

Then a mistake: I bought the HTC Sensation instead of the GS2, and I became pissed off because the GS2 had more raw power and gaming performances were better on it...

Now I have the One-X for the same reasons: gaming performances!!!!!! I mean, I don't need a Tegra3 quadcore for emails, browsing the net, SMS, etc, my HD2 can do this as well, and I have a huge extra battery on it

What's the point of having quadcore if it's not to play games???? What other app can require a quadcore?? Even 1080p video playback doesn't need a quadcore, dualcore is enough, and don't tell me the UI is faster on a Tegra3, or you can gain 0.000003 seconds when writing an SMS or loading google xD

I sometimes think I have a psp with a nicer design, way more possibilities, a good camera and that can also be used to phone, GPS navigation,etc ^^

Seriousy, the One-S is better for non-gamers.
[HTC One X] jimmy2027:
Bought it primarily for its aesthetic design (both physical and software), and also the custom war.

Use it for portability purposes, not so much into gaming, but for videos/ music/ internet.

I personally am a little disappointed at the wifi strength. A little drop in wifi signal, the internet slows down a lot. Most of the time when I am at places where signals are weak, my HOX can't even detect anything!!

The other issue is that it gets overheated pretty easily from charging and watching videos. Not sure if it applies to all smartphones. Kinda worried about the battery life :(
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Well, wifi problem was something discusses as soon as the HOX was out, I hope you bought it while knowing it ;)

As for the battery, it's not a good idea to drain it while charging, I used to do it on my previous devices but I had spare batteries, or extended batteries, so I didn't care at all. Now with the HOX, if you want to use it a full year without having to get your battery changed , I think you should really avoid to let it get warm by using it while charging (I hate having to wait in a middle of a video game too, but I prefer letting it charging with screen off ;) )
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup never game or heavy use on the charger
[HTC One X] BeatsByMessi:
the main reason i bought this phone was because i was due an upgrade from my HTC Hero. I thought about getting the HTC Senation XE or the iPhone 4S but then when i saw the specs of this phone i thought to myself i NEED that phone but i didn't plan on gaming on this phone. but then i heard about the tegra optimized games and i checked out a few comparisons between thd games and just standard android/ios games and i was really impressed by the graphics and added effects the thd games have

i do a bit light gaming everyday (tiny tower, angry birds) but i now also do a bit of heavy gaming perhaps two or three times a week (dead trigger, shodowgun thd, soulcraft thd) which is probably not as much as some people on here but I'm also constantly checking the tegra zone app for new games to try.

one last thing, to everyone who voted "idiots game on phones" you don't know what you're missing. the tegra 3 games are amazing. i realize that not everyone has time to game on thier phone but you need to at least try a thd game at least once just to see what all the fuss is about
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Well said!!

Not to mention that you can emulate everything from Atari 2600 to Sega Saturn (ok, it's slow!)

Here are the emulators I have on my HOX: atari 2600, Amstrad CPC 6128, nes, gameboy, supernes, master system, genesis, gameboy advanced, PS1, N64, Lynx, gamegear, neo geo, MAME all of them with full speed games, + Nintendo DS now with full speed 2D games (don't try 3D, it lags), and Sega Saturn (unplayable, too slow, but running)

So beside the really excellent games we now have for Android, you can play thousands old games at full speed, and playing Zelda Ocarina of Times with Hi-Res textures, so better than on a Nintendo 64, or final Fantasy 9 in openGL with better graphics than a real PS1 is priceless!!!!!!!!!!!! (dual cores will lag here, Tegra 3 doesn't lag at all!)
[HTC One X] itismadhan:
I actually got mine to be a replacement phone with a big screen until the iPhone 5 releases. So, I will use one One X as my primary GPS of my car after the 21st.
[HTC One X] Andy:
I didn't want to vote "idiots game on phones". It was the only option for not gaming. Given the option I would of chosen, "No, But I'm happy to know that I could".

hamdir called you all idiots ;)
[HTC One X] ystokar:
my answer

to conserve power for sake of mother earth
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Well u could chose the last one ;)
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Just be sure that your car can provide enough power from your car 12V socket, depending on your car, it can be way less efficient than your usual charger, and don't use auto-brightness. I often use my HOX as a GPS, but it already happened to me that it was draining battery faster than my car 12V socket was able to charge it, resulting in overheating + dead HOX after two hours of navigation (led blinking red and green, then just dead ). I would say that using a navigation application that renders buildings in 3D, combined with auto-brightness is always at the limit between draining and charging battery.

....and with a device with non-removable battery, having it plugged while navigating, so screen always ON + Data connection + GPS.....well, if you don't want to send your HOX for replacement within 6 month to get your battery changed, avoid using Sygic navigator and its 3D rendering, or avoid 2hours long trips while charging

PS: you'll be really disappointed by the iphone 5 after using the HOX
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Battery. Personally I don't like intense touch-screen games that much. Mouse+keyboard is my thing. I'd rather play puzzle or something on the One X (Not angry birds I'll throw my shoe at you) But I would really REALLY love to get more battery life with a smooth UI and all graphics. Using a Ondemand governor kind of made stuff a little less responsive, but I think it was buggy at the time. No idea how well the governors function now.

To those who might question me getting a Tegra3, I got One X for the gorgeous screen, brilliant unibody and great camera.

I vote console because it has a dedicated controller. All the other bs isn't as important to me. I like buttons to smack, hit and press. When shape-shifting touchscreens(I hope you get why) are out in the near future, I will happily say smart-phones win. But not today, not this date. PC > Console > Smartphone

Whats great about smartphones like you mentioned is Portability and Price.

And if a game does appeal me a lot, I might even play it on the hox. The graphics are actually pretty darn good. I played dead trigger for a bit and awesome graphics that was.
[HTC One X] itismadhan:
Yeah, I might be disappointed on the iPhone 5 but I can always come back to HOX if I want to. Also if using the HOX as a gps is a bad option, can u recommend a better one? I just feel that google navigation is the best!
[HTC One X] Bright.Light:
I voted the 'Balance between battery and fps', but I am the one that controls the balance!

So, normally battery wins, but when playing THD games, I definately want fps to win.

Currently I am playing Horn, which is a great game, but it topps the temperature of the battery, so it's impossible to charge the battery while playing, therefor I can only play it for about 1 hour long, before it suddenly returns to the home screen.

Oh well... there must always be something to improve.
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
When I went through 4 Hoxes ,playing for 1 hour and then the battery dies was not why I went for hox,if I wanted to conserve power ill go for Nokia 3310 ,but I balance battery performance is what I was looking for ,when you go from DHD to hox you expect battery to improve,for me it didn't and its where HTC failed and hox is he only quadcore phone that doesn't feel like that thanks to HTC DEVS

For Me everything maters, I wont to know that I'm able to do anything with a phone like HOX.

Hallo the problem its the heat up!!! Not the baterry life all the smartphones hat low batterry life, but for the heat up there is solution? Sorry for my english...
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Solution to reduce heat is to use a custom kernel like Faux or NCX.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Since I haven't gamed much after the getting the 2.05+ bases, does gaming on 2.17 still heat up the phone to "battery overheated" stage? My other non-gaming heating problems vanished after the updates.
[HTC One X] gvpula:
I got my XBOX360 for gaming so the phone is pure social and office. No problem with heat what so ever!

no its never overheat but temps r even better with custom kernels like faux

I moved from an iPhone 4S to the One X expecting that newer hardware & quad core = better gaming.

I was sadly wrong. I realise my own fault and should have researched more, and other than gaming I don't regret getting the One X....

IPhone 4S has better graphical power despite older tech, and the One X eats through battery life far too rapidly for its own good (heck it does that without gaming as soon as the screen is on, add gaming and it's a battery vacuum )

Factor then in other irritations such as Nova3 not bring supported, and sorry but there are a lot more games (without adverts plastered on them) in iTunes app store than Google's play store that merely on a gaming perspective, it was a bad switch.

Don't get me wrong I love the one X for it's industrial design, and the screen is lovely. But it does have some rather irritating 'issues'....
[HTC One X] timlambo:
It' s called developer support. We dont have that yet, but I promise that nvidia will be the ones causing this change to ios like. More and more games have nvidia support and will get better and better down the road. Just look at how few games nvidia had Last year compared to this year.

It is frustrating, I know. But it is truly worth it. Oh and the Optimized games for our hox do look better than on any ios device. That should at least mean something, and as mentioned earlier it is frustrating. All will get better.

I know when I got my first android phone, the HTC tattoo, there was almost no games on the market. Forward 2.5 years and there is lots of games.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Oh and that screenshot is a bit unupdated. The hox with any kernel with gpu uncap, has the same scores as the iPhone 4s.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
I no that most games on ios have been made with udk and udk dont fully support androind yet so we should see more release soon
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Yes this benchmark is old and useless, we get 72fps with GPU unlock

But u have to check a benchmark that is heavy on polygons (where the real strength of tegra GPU) n up to date, on the gl benchmark 2.4 both the sgs 3 and one x are equal

Enough about nova3 did u check horn? Horn is UDK which fully supports tegra 3
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Means without custom kernel you never hit the "battery overheat" stage?

Are there any good games you guys are playing, that aren't like 200mb+? :silly: I have a slow connection(512).

Only on the old 1.28 firmware, also I never game on the charger

Dead trigger.

Tapped from a newly RENOVATED One X running on NCX kernel.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
I don't game on the charger too, and besides I read at a lot of places that charging while gaming on the hox only aggravates the heating. I've seen the same on a Macbook pro so, they aren't as perfect as they think xD

I did get dead trigger in between, purely for the purpose of looking at what graphics the hox can come out with and I was mind-blown. Its really REALLY impressive but again, I'm not a fan of touch-screen controls for fps :P

I had COD: Zombies on my iPhone which also I stopped playing for the same reason. We can hook up controllers to the hox though I assume, maybe then I'll be more cool with it.
