[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] krycek1984:
I loved mine in some ways but had to return it after a week or so.

It did not pay well with Bluetooth at all..I had problems with my 2011 Corolla and a 2012 Buick Verano. Voice quality was horrible on the Corolla, and music played in slow motion on the Verano.

I also had consistent issues with Netflix and sound problems.

So many apps were missing from the app store...resco radio and most streaming radio apps, and Oregon Trail.

Worst of all is what they did to bing maps. It would was a good and comprehensive feature before that I often used...but it had been neutered and rendered basically useless. I had to pay for Verizon navigation.

I didn't even try syncing my extensive zune collection. So I regretfully went to Android again after having several windows phones :(. Which is sad because I absolutely love windows phone.

The screen was great, it felt super premium in hand, so many features are beautiful and useful, and best of all no lag! I miss it alot. I loved the previous integration with my zune collection. Did I say the screen was gorgeous lol.

And the Nokia 920 was far too bulky and heavy :(.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] stoicism:
Well, I officially sold my 8x.

Pains me a little, the overall industrial design was fantastic. WP8 is so refreshing to use and look at.

But, the power button was terrible. Used a couple of devices, all the same. The screen was nice compared to old windows phones, but not compared to other high end phones. I'm on the Nexus 4 now and the screen is superior.

The OS is severely handicapped. I want it to be awesome, but it just is not there yet. I could not be as productive with it. It feels like a step up from a blackberry, but you can't quite do what you need, especially from a productivity standpoint. The OS is fluid, but terribly inefficient. Constant swirling of animations, I just want to get to the app. Multi-tasking is worse than any other smartphone OS and will be worse than BB10 when it ships. Notifications are non-existent. Sure, notifications are coming, but they aren't here now. This doesn't even mention the "app-gap". All these flaws feel larger than life when I wake up to the WP8 alarm in the morning...blaring at full volume because you cannot adjust it.

It is too bad, the 8x is gorgeous. I look forward to trying WP again in the future...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] AllTheWay:
The same thing happened to mine. I was forced to get a case for it. Pretty horrible engineering design on HTC's part.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] vijaykishen:
Its quite bad that you guys are having so many problems with the 8x. I had initial problems with figuring out the buttons but now its more of a muscle memory kind of thing, after you get used to the fact that the finger has to glide by the front of the phone rather than the back of the phone.

5 days having 8x - great device - but complete change in your files philosphy ...

5 days having 8x - great device - but complete change in your files philosophy ...

Migrated from 4 years HD2 using was somehow shocking but acceptable.

"Hand feelig" is very good :D

Power button may be better but is usable.

I am missing very simple app. to lock the screen (make it black) without touching power button - anybody knows ?

I am very disappointed by the fact that using phone keyboard there is no automatic search through contacts using 3-letters associated with numbers - this was one of the greatest HD2 features- anybody knows how to to it ? Of course I may try to install many diallers but having too many apps on the phone is cumbersome ... :crying: ... I would be gratefull for any suggestions.

Disctionary is great - first time in any phone/pda I used :D
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] bayusuputra:
I have just received my phone from HTC (got it from HTC Elevate) yesterday, so this is my preliminary thoughts.

I think the hardware is great, my unit doesn't have light leaks whatsoever but agree with OP that buttons are too flushed (except for the camera) and my power button is a little loose, so it rattles when I shake the phone. Viewing angle is, I agree, bad. But not a deal breaker for me, as it shifts only in extreme angles. But otherwise, the hardware is great.

as for the OS, I love the look, but I really hate not to be able to have apps that I have in my Desire S. I share photos with my relatives through instagram, and although there is a client app for it, it can't upload. Then comes the music EQ. So used to PowerAMP makes me longing for a great music app like that for my 8X. Don't get me wrong, the audio is good, if not great, but I just find it a little too "boring" and "lifeless" and would like to be able to adjust EQ myself. And then comes the Dropbox problem. As for the OS itself, I really hate not being able to glance at the battery percentage or any other status. I need status bar, I need notification center.

Nevertheless, I think I can live with the OS'es shortcomings, I just hope that with time, it will mature and grow and better itself.

As for the hardware, my only problem is the buttons, but still they are usable and is not really a big deal for me. :D
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] stkiswr:
How is the camera. I am long time android guy and have an 8x coming to try out. I wanted to try one but the camera is really important to my. My soff rezound with a nice Rom take fantastic pics in most all conditions so that's my baseline.

But I'm going to def give this phone some testing.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
I've hit a week with mine, and heres what I can add.

Industrial Design/Durability - "A day doesn't go by where I don't just stare at the device for a few seconds..." - yea, Ive named mine 'sexy beast' because it really is just a beautiful phone. I keep it in my pocket as well, and so far so good. Its also easy to clean off, which surprised me, I didn't expect the back material to wipe down so easily. So for a design and durabilty I give it an A

Build Quality - I haven't had any creaking, or any really noticable flaws, however, there is just one design flaw in mine, but you have to look. Bottom left corner is aprx 1mm higher than upper right corner, but its only noticable if you really look. Otherwise, its running at an A as well for Build Quality.

Usability of Buttons - "I hesitate to say it, but the buttons (except the camera button) are totally useless." I wouldn't say I have large hands, at least I don't think I do. I have noticed that when I hold the phone in my left hand (my usuall position), the volume buttons fall perfectly between my first finger which rests just below the buttons and my next two fingers, which are able to grasp the sides of the phone without touching the rockers. The camera button then falls between the pinky which also rests just below the button and my two middle fingers. And its an easy slide for me to swing my finger to the power button. When the phone is in a pocket and I am listening to music, I find the volume buttons raised just enough where I can find them inside the pocket, and turn up or down. I haven't had any issues with the buttons, and actually find them better in terms of functionality than the buttons on my old TB. Again, an A

Screen - "This screen is absolutely gorgeous...when viewed head on. Viewing angles are pretty bad." Well, I agree that its truly stunning. Cant believe how crystal clear everything is. And as for angles, the only issue I have is that the screen is so damn good, it reflects too much when viewed at angles! I don't have issues per se seeing the screen, but I have to deal with the reflected element! So give it a B

Windows Phone 8 - I agree that Windows hit this really good! As for a home run, maybe an 'in the park' home run. The persistant clock? I don't seem to have that issue, since my clock is always there, and always correct. I also agree in regards to independent volume. And I would love to put my own sound bites for messaging and other notifications, not be stuck with stock. Playlists too, a real beeaach to set one up! Score a B for the OS, but still love it! Knowing it can get better is a plus.

Bottom Line - Im keeping this bad boy for a long time! If the wife can even say she likes it (first phone of mine she ever said that about) then its a keeper! Overall, I think its a great phone. Battery life is fantastic, its snappy and responsive, its integration with social networks and the ability to customize those is fantastic. Integration with xbox could be more, but I don't think my 'more' is possible! Phone gets a A-, just because I know its gonna get better!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mjenabi2:
i bought one of these for my little sister at launch and she likes it a lot. the only issue she has with it is that you cant clean the stains off the back. she got one of these pull out cases and that left some black stains at the back and im still looking to find out how to clean it.

my own opinion about the phone is that apart from the lockscreen key and the black levels of the display, it's pretty much amazing. it looks and feels absolutely awesome.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
This may sound crazy, but I find it works for alot of stuff that I didn't think would. But heres my disclaimer - do this at your own risk, because I am not resposible if it makes matters worse. Try it in a little corner see if it works first.

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Make sure its not the one with soap in it, and make sure you get it wet and wring out the excess. Be gentle, it doesn't take much to get it to work.

I'm shocked to see complaints about the power button. It's really not that bad.

I am also I have tried a few phones and maybe HTC has improved them since but the power button was fine for me.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
After 2 weeks with my 8GB 8X, I like it that much that I'm bumping my Lumia all together and have just ordered a 16GB unlocked version. The Lumia actually feels like a brick compared to the 8X. There are always things that you could say I wish were different but it's certainly not a deal breaker. With regards to the power button placement, to me it feels that there is no other place. The HD7 had pretty much the same button setup too. I hate the placement on my Lumia. It's all about getting used to something I suppose...

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

I was just thinking though. What the hell were HTC thinking when they hamstringed this phone by giving it on 8GB and no SD card? Seems an awful shame.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] matthew5025:
They did not.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
My 8GB version begs to differ but I'm looking forward to the arrival of my 16GB. :good:
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] znender:
My biggest gripe with the device would be the discoloration of the edges that happens over time, the beautiful blue color will turn dark.

And the buttons are horribly annoying. I love the design of the phone overall but the button placement and design is just plain terrible.

It would have been better if the buttons were not fully flushed to the device and offered a more satisfying click to recognize an input.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] schizrade:
I am about 2 weeks into using my 16GB VZW 8x after using a Nexus for 1.5 years.

The power button thing takes some time to get used to, but other than that, I am really liking this phone. WP8 is absolutely wonderful compared to buggy ass android. lol.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] DavidinCT:
I love the HTC 8x accept for the space...wish it came with a MicroSD slot...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Puff1911:
I'm using the Tmobile model.

I had the Lumia 920 that I was using for a couple months as a tablet since there was no unlock code available.

Finally I got fed up and bought the 8X. I had the TYTN2 and then the Touch Pro2 before this phone.

Over the couple months I had the 920.. I slowly grew to hate it.. I found it to be too wide to use it efficiently. It was difficult to get my thumb across the phone to press anything.. so I'd always have to use it with two hands.

The phone felt well built.. like a damn brick! heavy and solid.. at the time.. I thought that was the greatest thing!

However.. when i switched to the 8X I found it be a way better fit in my hand and the weight and feel of the phone was way more comfortable than that L920..

The buttons on the 8X don't bother me at all.. I have it in a Ballistics case which is a three part case.. it comes with a hard plastic screen protector, a soft rubber grip that covers the entire phone (minus the screen) and locks into the hard screen protector. The rubber grip is backed by a hard plastic case.

It's the ULTIMATE case for the phone.. in terms of protection.. it however completely destroys the beauty of the phone.. so much so that at least twice a week i'd take off the case just so i can look at and feel the phone before putting it back into the case.

The Ballistics case is probably the reason why the buttons aren't a bother.. the case has very reasonable protrusions for the buttons and makes it easy to press any of them.

I have no problems getting to the power button on this phone and I can easily get my thumb across the phone to type with my thumb only.

The only draw back to the case is that it has raised edges to keep the screen off of surfaces if you place it screen down. Because of the raised edges and how close the screen is to the edge of the phone, it's a little difficult to press keyboard keys at the edge of the screen.

Minor discomfort.. I'll definitely be sticking with the HTC over the Nokia..

Also.. screw Nokia for using an exclusivity contract! :p

I'm wondering about the hboot incompatibility thing. Will devs over at Original Android Development start making kernels and roms for the hboot that will come with JB?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Well JB has been officially released in some parts of the world with hboot 1.36 and 1.33 and there hasn't been any issues with custom ROMs yet. Can't say the same for kernels because source hasn't been released yet.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes, once the source is released for the JB kernel, the kernels will be updated too.
[HTC One X] Seelendrache:
But will HTC ever release the kernel sources for JB ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes, it usually takes them around 30 days, I beleive, so they should start appearing for the released Taiwanese (HTC__621) OTA pretty soon.
[HTC One X] Seelendrache:
So with this the GPS Bug in Kernels can be fixed ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yep
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
So you are saying that most of the devs at Original Android Development (CM10, AOKP, AOSP) will start making kernels for newer hboots?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I have no idea of their intentions, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n-0-s:
You could try doing a bit of research on what apps are best for recovering data, I know there are some decent apps out there that do a good job as long as u have written over those files .

If you have troubles finding one that works i might be able to do some research for you. But i would personally try youtube to find reviews on decent recovery apps. GOODLUCK

You could try this link , i havent tested the app myself but i think if you are chasing photos it might work http://hexamob.com/rooting.html

if you deleted them then recover them straight away then you'll 100% get them back, but if you've been using your phone alot and over writing those deleted files... then your chance of getting all of them back will be slimmer.

Try to recover your files, you'll need to be in debug mode then mount as USB, that you can recover them as external disk.
