Hi

I have the origonal wildfre and im looking at geting a new phone i have been looking at the desire X but i have read a few bad things about it things like it overheats the camera is rubish and there will be no updates for it i was wondering as you guys use them what do you recomend i dont have much money so i cant afford the £500 for the htc one x and i dont like the dinner plate sized phones but the desire X is £180 so i can fit it in my budget

Thanks for any advice or help you guys can offer
[HTC Desire X] Matyt:
It gets hot, that's true (and kinda strange....:o )

The camera isn't that bad (and absolutely enough for the use you're gonna do of it, e.g. posting photos on FB)

If you are looking for similar sized phones you can consider the GSIII Mini, considering the fact that it hasn't got Sense customization, and for a HTC user it can be kinda disappointing (I used to have a Wildfire S, when I bought a Xperia go I was so disappointed of sony customized UI that I replaced it with the Desire X)

Just a thing... please improve your english..;)
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
Sorry about the english but i am dyslecic. i like my wildfire but i was disapointed with the lack of updates and a friend put it on cryogen and its never worked rite scinse so im going to update but i never liked the sony phones my friend has just got the desire c and its a nice phone but i dont want to just go out and buy the desire x and end up with a phone that im not 100% happy with like the wildfire

Thanks for your help
[HTC Desire X] hcdav:
I'd recommend it if you can get it for £180.

However if you're willing to go for a few quid extra I'd go for the GSIII Mini or a little bit more than that you could get a Nexus 4...

As Matyt said, the device gets hot and it gets pretty annoying and unpleasant.

We have received updates for this device, and most users now have a Jelly Bean update.

Moreover our device gets the Linux 3.4 kernel with Jelly Bean meaning we'll be able to run the next few releases of Android on our phone whether it's officially or unofficially.

We have lots of progress on the AOSP ROMs front as well, with CM9 almost fully working and CM10.1 in the works.

In terms of developer support, you can't go wrong with the DX :)
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
Thanks for your advice im geting more tempted to get the desire x now do you think there is a way to fix the overheating and do yuou think this could shorten its life?
[HTC Desire X] mhb92:
once i again....

if you dont have too much money and want a nice - cool , fast phone...not in a shoe size...you better buy it!!!! :)

it gets hot but not in critical points....

for the money you will pay you will get a very good phone :)

and lately a lot of developers are working on our phone...so we will get jb roms aosp and others..which will make our phone twice faster :)

from what you ask...this phone suits you!! A LOTTT :)

[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
mine doesnt over heat until i play an intense 3d game. and that happens to all the midrange phones i know of. Its only major compromise is on:

- no front camera

- no digital compass

- no 720p video recording (although playback is possible)

But dont forget the positive things:

- fast processor

- Good camera lens and low light snapshots

- HTC Sense (although lite version)

- Ram is higher

- Screen colour reproduciton is v good. (although not very bright)

- HTC Sense

- JellyBean (Upcoming in some regions - Damn you HTC)

- Light and beautiful design.
[HTC Desire X] ayyu3m:
I agree with neXus PRIME. I havent had the issue of the phone overheating.

The phone is absolutely amazing in my honest opinion. Except for the front camera and htc full sense. Although i would advice you to check this link regarding the white noise (hiss sound) on some of our Desire X.

But that has never annoyed me at all as i barely noticed it. And after some search on Google, the white noise seems to be a problem or some kind of sacrifice introduced on almost all mobile devices to compensate and even out other weird sounds. I think there is a video regarding this which is on one of the pages on that link thread.

There is nothing else to disregard Desire X as an awesome and handy and comfortable device for those of us keen on getting a quality phone within a budget.

And once again if you want to compensate for all the con points neXus PRIME has first mentioned in the above thread, then by all means buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.
[HTC Desire X] ORA 1:
I have come from a Wildfire to the Desire x.

The perfect move.

The DX camera is 10x netter than the Wildfire

I am glad i Made the move.
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
My suggestions

It important that you are 100% happy with your purchase...my advice go with your heart.

the Desire X is a nice phone has everything that you need and will receive updates for at least 4.X(not sure about official but surely unofficially).

about the heating that can usually happen due to prolonged usage at high frequency of the processor(our default governor is performance hence the reason slow down scaling and rapid fire upscaling).

this can be fixed by moving to interactive governor(better ratio of scaling) or/and changing the scaling governor to conservative.

though this problem might persist if you play games/use apps that have a high processor demand(usually very graphic intensive).

there so my suggestion is to look for a device that has the following points.

1.confirmed jb update(this gives it a better chance of getting 4.x future updates).

2.Strong developer comunity.

3.possible working method for rooting.

4.custom recoveries.

5.good specs vs price ratio.

for me the Desire X ticks all these boxes.

but in the end the choice is yours.

Good Luck,

Dark Passenger
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
The phone is far better with the JB update, from my own anecdotal experience. I was unhappy with it on ICS. I'm still not impressed with Sense Lite that we were burdend with, and had I known about it at the time I would have opted for another device.

There are many positives about the phone, it is very cheap and it works OK for the price. If I had more money I would go for a Nexus 4 though.

The other reviews above are good, but I'd add in the actual handset is not very comfortable in your hands, especially for extended periods, and the screen feels less responsive than the one on the old Desire (Bravo). It is very plasticy and the back cover feels very cheapo and fragile.

It's a grand Android phone, it costs next to nothing (comparatively) but the performance is fairly low end and there's an air of cheapness to the whole thing. My Nexus 4, GS3 and other devices feel far superior (though to be fair they are). My One X JB update slowed down some fairly basic functionality for me and I really didn't like it after it updated. I've a concern that HTC are rushing software or it is too fragmented for them to release solid ROMs for their devices.

I use the DX as my day to day out and about phone and it works fine for the most part. There's nothign major wrong with it, just a lot of little niggles here and there. Some of which were fixed with JB update!

If you want a very cheap phone for basic surfing, facebook etc and won't be installing any particularly big games you'll be fine with this device.
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
I went to get the desire X on sataday and was told by the shop that they do not keep them in stock as they are such a bad phone that they nobody wanted them but from what you guys said it sounds like hes talking out of his ass
[HTC Desire X] Matyt:
NEVER trust retailers...
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
i never do i sent a nice email to there head office saying how there staff ignored evreyone in the shop untill they all waked out then when i came back an hr later the palce was empty and then was told its a rubish phone but you guys on here seem to be loving the thing so im just looking for somewhere elce to buy it from but there isnt any other place i can find that sells it so i may have to bite the bullet and buy it from them
[HTC Desire X] ShadowCodeGaming:
Personally, i hate the phone. I regret buying it everyday. Hell, even my old Galaxy S was a lot better then this piece of crap. Don't recommend buying it.
[HTC Desire X] ORA 1:
I find it Amazing that some people take so much effort and time to come onto a forum and talk rubbish.

You can go onto virtually any forum, IPHONE, Galaxy 3 and 4 forums, you will always get people there with problems, mostly user related.

You also get the chops who also go onto the various forums and say this phone is the biggest rubbish just for the kick of it.

To the one who bought this product, surely you dont compare it to Top of the range Galaxy, Sony or Iphone.

Compare apples with apples.

The Desire X fits into its own market, It delivers just what is expected of it . Accept that or buy another phone that will suit your needs.

ORA
[HTC Desire X] ShadowCodeGaming:
'Delivers what is expected of it' Yeah because when we spend $300 on a phone we all expect a software update that will break one of the phone's main selling points. :rolleyes:

[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
This is not, hate desire x forum. I like dislike a lot of things. But this phone ISN'T crap. I've tested many equally costing devices from others and they can be called crap. Let us all stay on topic. Our frustration with jelly bean update n bugs shouldn't make us so narrow minded so as to neglect all the good things about it.

Peace.

- Bluetooth

- Camera

-Video Recording

- GPS

- RIL

- Audio

- Hardware Acceleration

- SD Card

- USB Mass Storage

- Capacitive Buttons

- WiFi(solk2 made a fix for this. Thank you very much. Go and press thanks on his posts because this man deserve it.)

Link to the dev thread----->here

BEFORE INSTALLING THE ROM READ THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

Do a FULL WIPE first. Full Wipe means format /system, /data, /cache.

Now flash ROM and then GAPPS through recovery.

After flashing, do NOT reboot phone. Instead POWER OFF the device and boot to bootloader.

Extract the boot.img from rom and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img command.

Reboot.

Man i am looking forward to cm10. I used to have cm7 on my HTC legend before it broke down :banghead:

Does cm10 has the same neat little features as cm7? Like skipping songs with volume buttons and do they already work in this build?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

Btw, why is WiFi so hard to fix? Just asking as I don't know how it works exactly... Xp
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Wi-Fi is hard to fix because the source code for it is nowhere to be found, therefore compiling a kernel cannot be fully completed.

It can be done excluding the Wi-Fi causing it to get errors. You can read about it in the threads in the Desire C forums.

Ex. (Operation "ath6kl_sdio.ko")
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Yes, song skipping works...

What other features do you mean?
[HTC Desire C] robzombie111:
Gestures in music app and the nice little performance tweaks (in cm7, there were a lot of stuff to tweak).
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
You mean this?
[HTC Desire C] h1gh1:
Wifi driver

How did they compile kernel for Blade III? I see it uses the same WiFi chip, and it has a full working CM. I saw on the dev thread that there were no success in getting the WiFi to work...
[HTC Desire C] robzombie111:
Exactly what i mean yes :)

Which Gapps did you flash? The one in the CM10 thread or another one?
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
I updated google search from the market after a little bit of fiddling around and clearing cache because I was getting dumb errors. It should fix it.
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
I was getting awful errors with gapps . I tried several different versions trying to get it working then nik suggested I updated busybox . I couldn't connect to play as I was getting FC's all the time so I backed it up on my normal rom with cleanmaster(free- backs the whole app up and as many as you want -I have all my apps backed up now just in case )and flashed a new cm10 , installed my busybox pro with the file explorer in cm10 (go to sd card - find cleanmaster folder- pick busybox apk -double click it ) and then flashed gapps and all was well . No problems since.

I included directions in brackets for anyone who needs help

all the best rich
[HTC Desire C] <CyberAnarchy>:
calm down bro..... calm down......

BTW to whoever posted this that nope and prometheus are same......

if nope was kanged......Nikhil would just sit down would he? he would obviously report. The fact that it is there proves that its different, because according to your logic prometheus is nothing but adding oc to cute prince kernel and "essentially the same".

Edit: oops stock htc source

Then are aokp and cm also same?

No!

I suggest you study up a bit and gain some basic knowledge before screaming out such things, if you dont want to be shouted at.

thank you and have a nice day.:laugh::D:o:fingers-crossed::highfive:

[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Wtf are you taking about lol.Prometheus is build from stock HTC source.Only genock drivers have been changed so it boots on cm10..And I didn't report it since kernels are open source.You dont see PA reporting PAC for using their stuff do you?
[HTC Desire C] <CyberAnarchy>:
Yeah but if its a kang.......you can report

What he said "Only the title is changed"

thats stealing.

its like me uploading aokp by changing cm title to aokp.

its not that he said that nick used some parts of your kernel.

he said they are the SAME. big difference really
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Here are the things that is changed if you are interested > He used 4.6.3 toolchain while used 4.6.2 ( Nearly the same) . He changed frequency tables a little and removed some governors present in it. Other stuff are the same as my source. If its not so he can contradict it. But he did ask my permission to use prometheus source. So I am not bothered by this , I am just stating this since you asked.
[HTC Desire C] <CyberAnarchy>:
Ok thanks.

I knew the differences btw , just want the guys who stated nope is just a title change of prometheus to know the differences.

I know they are not just title changes lol.
[HTC Desire C] MikeMtb:

[HTC Desire C] Excel007:
Is any one using multiple rooms and switching using boot manager or something.... What tool they use... Is it really advice able to have multiple rom... How do you handle it?????
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Yes you can. There are currently two kernels available - Prometheus and NOPE. Look in the development section :)

Regarding battery, you're can try running at low clock speeds, but then you will have to compromise on performance. Turn off Internet when you are not using it. These are just a few things..

2. It is really impolite to step in while to people are having a personal argument. I suggest most of the people to forget it.

3. Anyone who wants to state an opinion on my kernel, please do so in the according thread.

4. Any further arguing will be followed up by a cleanup request on my part (After speaking to RedHunter)

5. Thanks for the support to the people who stood up for me.

6. Thanks to all the people who used/use my kernel, it really means a lot.
