[HTC One X] Hannes_HD2:
As the main topics of this forum are whining about the update situation, ranting about hardware defects and other unpleasant stuff (but justified, though), I'd like to share my recent - positive! - experience with HTCs support.

A week ago I decided to send in my phone because it suffered from the well know wifi-problem. I also mentioned that I had some screen flickering when the battery was running low, but I had lived with that for the last 18 months and it wasn't a big deal.

So, what did HTC do to my phone?

They replaced the wifi module. They replaced the bezel module (apparently something related to the display). They replaced the battery. And on top of that, they replaced the white cover, which had suffered from far too many falls to the ground. They reinstalled the newest firmware.

So, what did I pay?

Nothing.

Just picked it up, and in fact, I have a new phone, which will be good enough for the next 18 months of calling, texting, internet browsing, music, youtube, reference, a little gaming - with or without 4.4.

So, after my beloved HD2 died the day the One X was released in Germany, I immediately got one. And it is and was a great phone. It never reached the unbelievable community support the HD2 had (which never even received the last official version of windows mobile 6.5 from HTC), but it still is a great phone with a great design and user interface.

Okay, I just wanted to add this, hoping that there is still anybody here actually enjoying this beast of a phone ;)
[HTC One X] and313:
I just have to.... I returned mine 4 times because they didnt want to acknowledge the wifi problem and then the backlight problem. Then the newest update came (sense 5) and it broke my wifi. Called htc they said i have to wait for an update. Which took 3 months. Which means i couldnt use my wifi for 3 months... So yeah :)

I am glad for you you had a good experience.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
i think it's just in nearly all other countries except of germany htc has really bad support...because in germany i got the problem with apx mode...bad wifi...bad battery life even with second battery...and housing was in a bad condition too...send it to them...and see there all except from the screen was new :) screen wasn't replaced because it was already like new :D and i just had to pay a few €for the delivering nothing more :) graet support in germany...but bad in others :/ ..
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I had a good support from HTC repairing center in Middle East

I asked my brother to buy me the HOX from KSA is it was there much cheaper than here in my country Jordan , adn he biught it with an international warranty , I rooted it and Flashed a Custom ROM on day one

within a year I started to suffer from Black Screen of Death , I did send it to HTC local repair center but they claimed that the international warranty only covers software things so I decided to send it back to KSA with express shipping to my brother

there at KSA they replaced the Main Board without a question for free and my brother brought back with him , maybe I were lucky enough
[HTC One X] lexuz:
Support in Holland is also very good, just had my volume rockers broken and they have fixed in a couple of days and fitted the latest firmware. And this time table was including sending it in and back with a courier. Happy with the HTC ( the same story applies to my old sensation).
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea i think in whole EU we have better support then somewhere else...but also here some guys were not so lucky like we :/ ...
[G2 General] jeff5347:
Let me start this off with these are just swine thoughts I have been thinking. I like the g2 (AT&T IS WHAT I HAVE). Big BATTERY, big screen, phone feels good in the hand, ect. I had previously been on the fence of the g2 and the n5. Seeing 4.4.1 was just dropped and from the n5 thread there are gobs and gobs of roms and kernels and mods. Coming from a gnex I knew the g2 didn't have the dev attention like nexus devices. I see lg roms that are modded, custom roms such as vanir, pacrom and such...I've only had the g2 less than 15 days and all in all I like it. I just miss the flashing and testing. My g2 is rooted,exposed w g2, camera mod, dpi dropped and such.

Am I just having withdrawals and I actually have a better phone than the n5? Probably..

My one question.. when 4.4 officially drops on the g2 would there be more devs (roms and kernels) that jump on the g2 or will it b somewhat scarce like it is now. Again I like the g2 but not sure I made the right decision.
[G2 General] deathshead:
If you get a Nexus 5.....

The Nexus 5 is a "Chumps" G2. its "half" the phone.

The G2 Development scene is on fire and will only get better and better.
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
My opinion, as someone who owns the G2 now (for the second time) and someone who's owned the N5 (and probably still would if it didn't have a mic issue that I returned it for)...

...if you like tinkering, ROMing, modding, and generally messing with your phone, then the N5 is the way to go. While I did return mine, I'll probably pick up another one at some point if only so I'll have an "unbrickable" phone to play around with.

My G2 is rooted as well and I'm running stock with Xposed and G2 Xposed installed, an ad blocker, and that's pretty much it. The G2 is the superior phone when it comes to battery life (by far) and the camera. The N5 is the superior phone if you like tinkering and you want a phone that's got tons of developer support.

I will say this...while I love both these phones, neither works as well FOR ME as my Moto X. I know, I know...why am I posting that here? I'm just giving my own personal account. I've loved my carrier edition 16gb Moto X so much that I decided to grab a 32gb MotoMaker X during the Cyber Monday (on Wednesday) deal. That's how good it is.

I'm sure at some point I'll sell the G2 and probably use the funds to grab another N5. While I don't like tinkering as much as I used to, I do still have that bug every once in a while, so having one around would be nice.
[G2 General] jeff5347:
That is what I hope. I hope the scene will grow. Coming from I Toro gnex the dev scene wasn't as big as Maguro but you still had stuff to chose from. The battery is amazing. Playing games on the gnex with less than 50% I would usually need the charger plugged in as the battery would be hit pretty hard. With the g2 at 35 % I don't need the charger. Really my only gripe is all the white. White settings, sms, notifications. Is there an exposed or something where we can theme like theme chooser? I can always sell a year down the road. Just needed to see if I was being rash and unrealistic on the greatness of the n5.
[G2 General] REDFOCZ:
I'm actually trading my N5 for a G2 today lol. Better battery and camera and still aosp Roms like cm or slim

[G2 General] mike2518:
Do u mind elaborating on the moto x part please? on why u like it etc... I also have a g2. And got the moto code also. I really need to decide if I should get that phone. Please give ur input
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
Sure, no problem.

I'll say up front it's hard to explain. I was one of those people that wasn't wowed by the Moto X when it was introduced, because of the seemingly "sub par" specs. How in the world could this phone compete with the other flagships that I'd had over the past couple of years (S2, S3, S4, Note 2, LGOG, G2, Nexus 5, iPhone 5S)? All I can say is, it does. At least for me.

It wasn't until I actually went to my closest AT&T store and put one in my hand that I fell head over heels for it. The in-the-hand feeling is like nothing I've experienced with any Android phone I've owned. It's solid, got a great weight to it, and feels very premium. But it also FLIES. No hint of stutter or lag at all.

Of course, it helps if you're a person that really likes a stock Android experience. If you like all the bells and whistles of TouchWiz or LG's skin or Sense, then stock Android might seem bland to you. But I love stock, and the Moto X is stock on steroids because of the few unique things Motorola threw in that you don't think you'll use until you actually own the phone. Active Display (notifications), Assist, Motorola Connect, and Touchless Controls make it an experience unlike any other phone. I was never one to talk to my phone, but Touchless Controls is something I use 10-20 times a day and it just keeps getting better since it's now hosted in the Play Store and doesn't need a full firmware upgrade to upgrade itself.

And Active Display (notifications) have RUINED every other phone for me. To be able to glance at your phone, not touch it, and know if you've got a notification is awesome. Sure, you can do the same thing with the LED light on the G2 or any of the Samsung phones, but it's not the same. Again, it's just something you have to experience in order to get it.

A couple of other things...the camera wasn't great at first, but that camera update fixed it unbelievably. It's SO much better now. It's not G2 or 5S great yet, but it's not far behind. Another thing I love in a great phone is the speaker. Not for music, but for when I'm in the car and don't have my headset, so I can talk hands free. The speaker on the Moto X is WAY better than the speaker on the G2 (which is soft and distorts badly when you turn it all the way up). The X speaker can get loud, but doesn't distort...ever.

I highly recommend the Moto X to everyone that asks. It's simply the best Android phone I've ever used and has me excited to see where Motorola goes from here. They're off to a great start under Google tutelage.
[G2 General] sicto:
Exactly what I was thinking
[G2 General] mike2518:
Wow, thx for the really informative perspective. I've got one thing I wanna ask you that really concerns me the most, it's about the display size and resolution. Having first used the note 2 for a year and adjusting really well to the g2's screen size, which I think is the perfect size balance, how does it feel to use the moto? Does the smaller screen size bother u or is it better in your opinion?
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
You're welcome. Glad I could help!

No doubt coming back down to the 4.7" screen on the X will take some time to adjust to, even from the G2. It took me a few days as the last phones I was using before getting my Moto X were the Note 2 and S4. But, the screen is actually very underrated, in my opinion. It gets pretty bright (I tend to keep mine set around 25% unless I'm in direct sunlight in which case I'll bump it up to 50-75% as needed). It's also got a lot warmer color than the G2 (because it's AMOLED compared to the LCD on the G2), but LG is known for it's very blue tint on it's screens. Brightness-wise, I prefer the AMOLED as I think it's easier on the eyes. I get a lot of eye strain from the very bright, very blue G2 screen. That's something I don't get on the X's screen.

Another thing about the screens...the viewing angles on the X are GREAT. You can nearly turn it sideways and still read the screen. The G2, in my opinion, is awful, maybe as bad as some of the Sony phones (which are known for their terrible viewing angles).

As far as the comparison between 720p on the X and 1080p on the G2, yes, there's a difference. But it's not THAT noticeable and the battery savings are worth it on a phone as one-hand friendly as the X. I realize the battery savings don't mean a lot when you're comparing it to the G2 since the G2 has that huge battery, but if you want something that's not huge yet still want amazing battery life, the X will do nicely.

One preference I have is I like the front of my phones to be black (or dark blue in the case of the S3). I've always thought white fronts on phones wash out the display, no matter how good it is. That's just a preference of mine, though.
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
I am really tempted to try out the Moto X now! Thanks for your informative and personal review! :)
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
Again, you're welcome. I don't want to make it sound like I dislike the G2 at all. It's a fantastic device. But for me, the Moto X just works better. Obviously it's all subjective to each user, but you wanted an opinion...LOL. Sorry for being a bit long-winded! :D
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Yeah, sure it is subjective, but it is very interesting how specs on paper are seemingly becoming less and less important compared to real innovation, customization and originality. I am here thinking of the Touchless Control and Active display etc on the Moto X :)
[G2 General] mike2518:
Thx again, makes me want to go out to a brick mortar like best buy and try playing with their display model before deciding what to do with that coupon deal. I've read and watched quite alot about the moto, but haven't had the chance to actually see one in person yet. I'll try to do that this weekend.
[G2 General] erapmicks:
If u decide not to buy the moto x, can you give me your code? I am buying my brother a moto x for Xmas and I couldn't get the code in time :( thanks
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
We're definitely entering a good time in the mobile industry, one where specs don't matter nearly as much as optimization. It's what set the iPhone apart from other OS's for so long, but Apple had a distinct advantage because it controlled both software and hardware. Now Google/Motorola have each other, so they can start down that path to optimization (and I think the first very large step down that path is the Moto X). I'd all but written off Motorola phones after the Atrix HD that I'd had, but the X has me extremely excited to see what else is coming down the pipeline from Motorola/Google. :good:
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Truth! Optimization is a very important factor in the user experience. I remember buying the iPhone 3GS back in the day instead of an Android phone purely because of the smoothness of the OS due to the great optimization :)
[G2 General] Demonlinx:
I'm going to add that although I thought the moto x looked amazing, I have previously owned the Motorola photon. When I first bought the phone I loved it, then Motorola stepped in and canceled all firmware updates for the phone, although they made a press release saying they would continue support which they later went back on. I'll never get a Motorola phone for this reason and this reason alone. How pathetic of a company.
[G2 General] mike2518:
I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but in the mean time I see that eBay has a ton of these on sale for like a dollar. Check it out
[G2 General] j0ff:
I had a N5 for a week then dropped it for the g2. If you want more roms than you can shake a stick at then the N5 is for you. If you want nice hardware, useable battery (imho N5 just isn't useable as a modern smartphone due to battery) then get G2. The screen and lack of bezel on the G2 is stunning. Id say the G2 is a grown up N5. Fyi, I had an N4 since November last year til the moment the N5 came out and after a few days decided that it was no upgrade.
[G2 General] expertzero1:
I like the g2 better. For 50-100 bucks more off swappa, you get a better device with battery and i like the implementation of knock on than on the n5. I see more drain on the n5 than the g2 due to implementation.

Stay with the g2!
[G2 General] :
Hi,

Maybe this thread can help you, I hope: Nexus 5 vs LG G2 comparison -- I have both!.

Since I'm "active" in both sections and I use both for many different things, you'll find a verry short opinion from me, but I can detail if you want... :)

But don't count on me for the sound, I'm not a "mélomane"...

:)
[G2 General] KentuckyHouse:
Hey Viking, can you post the link to the camera mod you mentioned in the short review linked to? I'd love to flash it as it seems to address all the shortcomings of the stock camera.

[G2 General] Elnrik:
I have the Moto X as well, and can say I agree 100% with you. The two reasons I use the G2 as my primary device: better screen and better battery life. It is ridiculous how much I use a mobile device in a day. Two galaxy s4 batteries a day kind of use. Moto X can't stand up to that. I guess I could have gone with the Droid Maxx, but I didn't.

Anyway, both are outstanding phones.

I know eddiehk6 posted the lmgtfy link, but if you did search the web, you would find this

While it is not a "PDF" file, this is readable in Play books (or on the PC's browser) - look thru' the camera section of the book and you should find some details of the HDR+mode, along with more.

But the "experimenting around' is really the best/fastest way to learn about the OS/Phone features.

A direct link is usually more effective than a 'cheeky' lmgtfy link - especially because the results of the google search page can vary by time.

I get it - you were trying to tell op to search the web first. But along with that, a direct link wouldn't hurt too much.
