I'd keep the One X because it has a nicer display, battery lasts longer, and you can customize it.

I'd trade because you probably wouldnt like modifying your phone anyway. You might as well get the phone that everyone else bought.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcviado:
Yeah that's another reason of why if I should do the trade or not..the one x does have a bigger and better display

And as far as modding goes I used to be a mod/flash freak ever since the original Motorola droid days lol

But I've gotten bored of doing the whole modding and slowly got tired of it so I'd figure I'd go for an iPhone.

Yeah I can still jailbreak it but as far as android modding it doesn't even come close to it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
In my eyes the two don't even compare. It's like apples and oranges. The XL is better in every sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tlazarus:
The One X is definitely a better phone. However, my biggest disappointment with android phones in general is the lack of third party support (and sometimes even manufacturer support) when it comes to accessories. The One X lacks even a dock! So, if you are interested in things like that, I'd do the trade. Just be prepared for a slower phone :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshuadjohnson22:
lol Sense I see what you did there

But really I would NEVER trade my one X for iPhone, downgrade for sure. If you got bored with customizing this phone you will be EXTREMELY bored with the iphone...

I set up phones all the time at my job for my clients and I got really bored with the iPhone 5 just by setting it up... the OS is outdated and over rated. I hope for Apple's sake they step it up this year...

Hell, I wouldn't even trade my One X for an iPhone 5. The One X ****s all over the iPhone 4S and even wipes its ass with it.

2. Get the iPhone

3. Trade/sell for something better and more android-y ;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I replaced my iPhone 4 with my HOX so I'm probably well qualified to answer this question.

It mostly comes down to iOS vs. Android and the larger screen.

I wanted a much bigger screen. Not everyone cares about this.

iOS tends to be smoother and snappier on a stock phone but is quite dated when compared to Android. If you're thinking of jailbreaking, stick with Android. There's not much you can do with a jailbroken iPhone that you can't do with a rooted Android. And iOS really starts to slow down and get unstable the more you mod it.

The iPhone 4 is heavier.

As noted, there are far more accessories for iPhones. This is probably the only thing I really miss.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcviado:
Thanks for the honest opinions guys,I went ahead and did the trade. I was liking the fact that the iPhone is supported by so many 3rd party stores,so many accessories,and I like the fact that even though it is an older device since the iPhone 5 came out its still managing to get so many support
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nvmdfth:
He'll be back....they always come back. iPhone's are indeed snappy and grandma friendly but once the comfortability sets in so does the boredom. Then theyre left wanting more access and more control...BAM! Jailbroken iPhone which turns into a heap of crap. And thus returning to android when they get tired of dealing with it the lag and freezing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Well, the whole iOS vs. Android debate is pretty opinionated. It's based off the user, so I am going to give you my opinion.

First off, this is someone who went from the HTC Hero, to the iPhone 3GS, to the iPhone 5, to the Evita. I was able to jailbreak the 3GS, and it was pretty good (so as my iPads as well). Then I got the iPhone 5. At the time it was not able to be jailbroken, so it was not really special. Sure it was slim and fast as hell, but that's it. I didn't really get any custom-ability with it. Then I got the One X, and rooted it three months later (avoid warranty issues), and never looked back. Even though I could jailbreak the 3GS, I get MORE features with the One X. Not to mention, different ROMs. With the iOS, you can install tweaks from Cydia and a few themes, but at the end of the day, it is still the software that Apple wants you to have. With Android, you can go from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2, and get FULL control over your phone. As far as jailbreaking vs rooting, they are both the same thing. Giving the user access to the system files. If you enjoy your One X, then I would not trade it in. With ROMs made for the Evita, it runs fast as hell. I never messed with a 4S, but my iPhone 5 was pretty fast. Not to mention, you will lose screen size (4.7" to 3.5"). If you want something new, then go far it, but I would suggest playing with an iPhone 4S, before you make the switch.

P.S. Siri is a cool feature which is a selling point (for novice phone users), but isn't something that should be sold on alone. Google Now is a close competitor, and does things as well.

At the end of day, the choice is yours. And to to give you an answer: I don't think you should do it.

lol, i thought i was the only who got bored with a jailbroken device. The best thing was Installous, even though it is illegal..it was the best thing. But my Evita is too freaking amazing.

Like I said guys just chus you may hate the iPhone doesn't mean other people "HAVE" to hate it as well.and I did the trade not chus I feel like the iPhone is better or not chus I hate android but because iPhones have the most support in every aspect of the device. I really don't care about rooting and using roms or jailbreaking.i feel if you need to root a device and use a rom to make it more smoother and better to your liking why not just get something that you will like in the first place so you don't have to do that. So no hate intended on both android or iOS. I just did the switch because if you didn't notice once an android device gets released it gets support shortly after once a new device hits the market that device loses all the support and it gains to the new device as to where the iPhone it's always gonna be supported no matter what. So if your gonna hate on me just because I did the trade chus you hate on the iPhone then I apologize.like I said in the op just wanted some opinions and that was it. Thank you again to the ones who gave honest opinions :)

With that said I feel that this thread is no longer needed and am requesting to close this thread :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jnewell05:
I bought an iPhone just recently. I like it a lot but its missing basic features that android has. Such as mass storage or making a freaking ringtone without using a computer. I always root and run custom roms on my android phones and really enjoy them over the stock rom. Mostly roms like CyanogenMod. Of course I'm jail broke and I find it extremely hard and expensive to customize. Unless you warez the jailbroke apps. Android is extremely easy to root and backup apps or uninstall ones that come with the phone. Side loading is as simple as pressing install however Ios blocks this completely, unless you jailbreak. There are no widgets, alternate keyboards (granted you can download an app to type somewhere else on the screen then cut and paste where you want it, defeats the purpose doesn't it) , messaging replacements, launchers, or pretty much anything that you love about android. You like it Apples way or the highway.

In my opinion everything that it does is smooth and works great. Android gets second hand games, for example plants vs zombies. It's a good game on android but if you ever play it on iPhone you'll be upset. Only half the game was provided by ea games on the android version and its the same price. Most other games such as tapped out the Simpsons are released way later. But the main reason is the compatibility issues devs face. There are 5 or so iPhones but thousands of android devices with many different types of hardware making it extremely hard to code and optimize compared to iOS. Updates are pushed to the iPhone family frequently and you run the latest version with having to wait for Sammy, HTC, Sony, or other manufacturers to push out an update. Unless you want to jailbreak of course then you have to wait for devs to find an exploit to allow you to jail break.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Now you realize that this being a forum specific to the HTC One X, that the vast majority of users here own and love their One X. So suggesting to get rid of it, is not going to generate the most objective feedback. If we thought the iPhone was a better device, we wouldn't be here!

Nobody here even remotely flamed or hated on you. If they don't like iOS, that is their "honest opinion".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Preach! It is what he asked for. Just like in my post, it was an honest opinion. However, I would guess most of the people never really tickered with an iPhone to really get a grasp of it. I used an apple product for two years. And one thing that is different, it is still unable to truly customize it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcviado:
Well like I said from the original post "looking for honest opinions" I've already heard "don't get the iPhone chus it sucks" or "stick with the one x it's better" I wanted other opinions other than that. And just chus this is an htc one x forum doesn't mean anything,as to I did have a one x which was I posted here in the first place lmao and plus I don't get why you people are still posting on here what's done is done! Obviously it's an interesting thread for people to be posting on here still lol

Horrible trade since I compare and beat my moms iPhone 5 with my One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
So it sounds less like you wanted an "honest opinion", and more like you just want reinforcement of the decision you were already leaning toward (basically, just want to hear from people that agree with you). I can understand not wanting not wanting to read a bunch of "iPhone sucks" type posts. But "stick with the One X its better" seems like a pretty honest opinion to me.

And is it really that hard to type "because" instead of "chus"? I've never seen that as an abbreviation of "because". Not trying to be a wiseguy, it just makes your posts harder to read, and probably not any easier to type.

Well i will say i am in the process of trying to get it replaced by ATT. If that happens and the replacement is better i will post something more positive and maybe that post will be taken as helpful. This phone (the one x) received many great reviews when it came out, I'm just hoping mine were better. To the OP's question, in my opinion at this time, it's a good trade.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Just to clarify, AT&T does not repair or replace iPhone. They will send you straight to Apple. The only AT&T does is replace it thru insurance. Even then it is sent from asurion
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] woody296:
Correct, i had an iphone 5 replaced at an apple store this past weekend. It was actually a quick, pleasant experience. It is the one x i am trying to get replaced under ATT's one year warranty. Hopefully it will happen with minimal hassle.

Oh sorry. Misunderstood. They should send you a new one with a return box. Should take 3-5 days to get it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozym:
I agree. It's really stupid. Last time they ditched the Calendar widget so I ended up having to use the stock Android one. Now they've brought the Calendar widget back but it's useless.

They have now ditched the mail, tasks and notes widgets which aside from Calendar were my main widgets and they have got rid of the large (full screen) music widget.

There's no logic and no consistency. Sense is rapidly becoming a complete waste of time.

S-on, unlocked users,cannot modify partition table, but can write anything to this partitons, or maybe it is just my way of thinking ;p Correct me if im wrong.

Partitions on my WFS are:

$ df -h

size used available mounted

/dev/block/mtdblock3 260M 137M 122,2M /system

/dev/block/mtdblock5 150M 127M 23M /data

/dev/block/mtdblock4 35M 2,3M 32,7M /cache

/dev/block/mtdblock5 150M 127M 23M /cache/download

The Question is:

Can /dev/block/mtdblock3 be mounted as /data ?

And /dev/block/mtdblock5 be mounted as /system ?

Can boot.img be patched to boot from /dev/block/mtdblock5 ?

This would give 150M for CM7 which is more then enough ,and 260M for data !

I don't think its possible. Even if you mount /data as /system and /system as /data it might result in force close of these apps:rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] andronald:
I will help you with your poll.

From experience: I've had days where the battery would be charged to 100%, and the battery would only be at around 85% by 3:00 PM (Starting at around 6:30 AM).

Other days, it would drain %20 every freaking hour!

I have my screen at a MAX of 66% brightness all day, because it's screen is already badly burned (since I bought ot used).

I use it for maybe 2-5 hours everyday. Its sleep drain is maybe %3 percent drain per hour on good charges. And possibly %6 - 10% per hour on normal charges. It has been REALLY bad (with all radios on), with a nasty %20 per hour rating (sleeping!).

I don't install monitor apps because they kill battery tons.

Here is my battery chart for some help. I am on stock 2.6.5 GB ROM (no root).
