Sharing...

Just when I was almost convinced (70%) that I want a Note here comes the HTC One X. I'm now 90% decided to jump right in when its released.

I've spend about a week with a friend's unwanted Note and I thoroughly enjoyed the S Pen. TW wasn't so bad on it either... The best part was the battery life. But it just felt like settling. It was even sold cheap. Having a huge internal storage is quite handy as well.

The huge con with it is the size. I thought to myself, I've survived large phones and what's a few more added to it... I was wrong. It felt awkward especially while driving. And that's coming from the DHD with an OB Defender. lol

But with all of that, I was still looking at getting the Note and sticking to it for a while since my DHD already lost my favorite dev Capy (his DHD is for sale). ICS is promising but I'm a Sense fan and started to look for the Sense features while on the AOSP ICS. Development still looks promising for our beloved phones though but can't wait for the full port with Sense 4 especially when the One X is released.

So HTC will get my money again for this year :D Hope to see most of you'all in yet another local thread for the new quadcore sexiness ;)

Same here my friend, I too will be getting the One X sometime in June or July. The specs got me drooling, especially the new camera chip which can shoot even if the sun is behind the person. Great release by HTC. Hands down.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Should I get an iPad 3?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I don't know, but I wouldn't.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Ano pa ba ibang tablets na ok?

Nabadtrip kasi ako sa SGS2 ko eh. All stock tapos pagkaupdate sa 2.3.6, nag aauto reboot.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
The only tablet I bought is the GT 7.7, but the TP is a good alternative of you can get over the kitchen sink feel. I find ios quite boring and even my daughter, who's 7, prefers android and ignores her iPhone 4.

Overall, I recommend the 7.7, but if the size does not suit you, the prime is an excellent option.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
No bugs whatsoever?

I hate my SGS2 now because I missed an important date because it reset itself to the PIN code screen when it should've been alarming or ringing because of calls. -_-
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
No real issue with the 7.7 itself, but having said that, TW is a bit irritating in terms of lag. If I use another launcher, the tab is smooth as I can wish for. I'm hoping that the ICS update will make things better and if it doesnt than I'm sticking with ADW.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Thanks! I'll check 'em out before ordering an iPad.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Guys, is there anyone here who will get the One X?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I'm thinking of getting the One S, but lets see how the devices turn out.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Do we have a ETA here in the Philippines? I was deciding between S and X because I really like the aluminum body of the S but in the end I chose X because of its specs specially the screen size.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Based on what I read, the S might not be launched here. I hope it was an oversight as I really like that Micro Arc Oxidation thing they got going on it. I'm still iffy on the X because of the plastic,but if its anything like the original Desire, then that might win me over. I am still rather partial to the Aluminum, though and the quad core thing is really not worth worrying about.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Hmmm, the plastic was a big let down on the X but from what I've read the polycarbonate plastic is really a "non-cheap" plastic unlike the one that Samsung uses in their flagships.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I'm crossing my fingers, but how can one say no to Micro Arc Oxidation?
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Agree, that is one of the reason why many people buy HTC because of the sturdiness of their phones. And now MAO comes in, I really hoped that the X has that feature, but oh well mobile manufacturers will never give everything to a single phone.
[Desire HD General] azrael97c:
I want to but i don't need to... I'm still enjoying my DHD too much XD

If ever I'll go with next year's flagship phone
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Took the leap to iOS for my tablet. Love the device. But I think Android is better for phones.
[Desire HD General] Kasush:
I cross my fingers in the sign of a crucifix at the thought of a fruit device. :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Just like when we were kids eh? :D repelling the evil!!

Based on my experience, when you already have an android phone, it's a waste to have an android tablet. It's basically the same (for me). So, I think you did a wise choice there buddy.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Kamusta mga kapatid? 2 weeks ago, I held a test unit of the One X and then an actual prod unit... :D It is what the spec sheet is saying and more. Blazing fast, butter smooth and ultra 'effin thin!!! a little on the tall side though but its an absolute wonder. 2nd week of April ang tentative release date and will be competitively priced :D:D:D (the semi transparent case on the test unit is better than the black polycarbonate IMO and no, it isn't for sale daw...lol)

Icecoldsandwich is pretty good on the DHD, ICS made me think twice on the 1X and consider the Note again thinking I could get rid of TW and go vanilla. But holding the 1X on your hand, you literally wouldn't wanna let it go. The other 2 variants are nice but not nearly nice enough...

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

I'm optimistic you'd be pretty surprised with the 1x... the display alone in daylight is surprisingly bright. But all 3 will be released here afaik ;)

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Right on, the plastic kinda reminded me of the HD2... rubbery, smooth and scratches rub off easily.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I found it difficult to get any milage out of an ios device when I'm a predominant android user. Things just don't mesh. Even their dropbox is different.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I'm pretty pumped for the HTC One series!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Lovely to look at, very nice to hold... :-)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Yep, felt that way about the HTC Flyer before.. Even with the HC update.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
What's your call buddy? You gonna go for the One X or the Note?

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

My 10.1 is a couch potato, only the kids are enjoying. Can't do anything special on the tablet, just good for browsing when you're on a vacation or on an outing.
[Desire HD General] Kasush:
I disagree. I use my DHD and my Transformer completely differently. I did reduce the usage of my DHD after getting the Transformer, but that's because some of the things I was using my phone for I can do better on the tablet. Like watching TV for example. DroidTV is awesome.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Definitely One X, hands down. I do plan to put pure ICS on it tho. Its just a matter of preference I guess. I don't miss any of the sense features after using ICS. Well, with the exception of the weather animation. Lol
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
I gotta try that DroidTV :D Thanks for the heads up!

Hmmm I haven't tried the ICS of clockan yet because I need a good camera cause I take a lot of pictures specially when there are cosplays (you what I mean :D). The only thing that I will miss is the sense flip clock and the friend stream but other than that I like a ROM that's smooth and lite, so if ever I get my hands on the One X, I will definitely flash an AOSP ROM.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Lord's ICS has a pretty good cam now. Its what I used to shoot the X with. Camcorder is a different story though. It'll be soon fixed but the X is right around the corner... 90 shots in 2 secs buddy! ;)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
I see, I'm currently on Coredroid, back to sense again haha, I somewhat can't live without friendstream and that flipclock :D But I'm gonna give clockan's ICS a go maybe this weekend, how's it's battery life?

That's what I love about One X! That amazing camera! :D but my one X have to wait 'til May :( recently bought a PS3 :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Damn you HTC.

For releasing the One X and confusing my buy options for 2012.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Battery life is pretty much the same as RCMix, auto brightness values are too low IMO. Apps/Games just loads faster on ICS it seems. It's just different and friendly but I do miss the HTC widgets sometimes. Most of you know that my heart belongs to a ROM that rotates perfectly. He he... ICS does a pretty good job at it. Even the lockscreen. It might be a kang feature tho. There's a beta of the One V port to watch out for too... So there's really no reason to splurge on a new device unless you've really touched the X. He he... Now I'm dead sold on it. I'll send another invite to the One X pre-launch and we could probably get a chance to win one instead. Lol (last time they gave away 2 :eek:)

Indeed buddy. He he... It's just something you gotta try at least :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I'll be waiting for all of them to release their 2012 flagships before choosing hehe. I'd probably pick one up around August-December pa.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I just posted my DHD for sale... getting ready for the X :D

Lemme know if anyone you know would be interested. I'm also considering of swapping it with a 9360 kasi kinukulit ako ni ma'am at para di ko na sya bilhan. He he...

I'll catch y'all here, in G+ and around XDA :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
If yours arrive, make a dedicated thread for us in the One X forum :) I'll buy mine next month :) Waiting for CMK to sell one. I'll be giving my DHD to the lady, ayaw na niya ng Desire Z niya hahaha!
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
How much DHD mo bro? Para may idea ako kung how much ko din benta hahaha, return to stock mo pa or inform na lang yung customer na rooted?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
The wait begins...

I sold it for 11k including everything kasi may small nick nga yung aluminum casing from my day 1 binge. lol The going rate is 12-10K depending on the package. Nasa post ko na rooted sya and I offered to flash any rom they preferred upon sale. The buyer wanted ICS so I just left it as is, removed my accounts (deleted contacts, sms etc.) and left all the apps.

Mejo nagtagal ng onte since may mini tutorial pa kami... he he... Grabe no? In hindsight, I realized sobrang baba na nya after a year and nearly 6 months. From 34K to 11K :eek: Kulit lang...
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Hahaha yeah, ang baba ng resell value, hmmmm if the customer prefers stock look I might just flash Lee or Er3bus :D hahahaha! joke lang, naka order ka na ba? how much?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Di pa, I'm just waiting for my friend to let me know when the dealers already have it ;)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Launch party ata mamaya eh..
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
The One X is only 27.6k from CMK! Way cheaper than I expected!
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Wow!! cheap indeed!! Kaya lang by order :( Did you already order brother?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Not yet. I'll wait till the price settles after a month. No real need to rush as I'm still rocking a strong dhd. You ordering?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, kanina (kahapon pala) sa Megamall. Pre Launch pa din. Launch na this friday.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Like what we learned in recent years, there's no need to rush. He he... Unless may gas talaga :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Not yet, the first batches seemed to have many hardware defects, I think I'll wait 'til May or early June for the upcoming batches :)

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

What phone are you currently using buddy?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Samsung Galaxy F... Flashlight phone :D Amazing battery life ;) 1 charge per week!
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I remember my E71 had the same charging cycle and I kinda miss it. Stupid touchscreens with their energy guzzling, prone to damage and pretty pretty displays... So pretty...
[Desire HD General] olanzky:
yung gigil andun na eh ang tanging pumipigil na lang yung paglabas Galaxy S3 eh, one month na lang kapag nailabas na yun may desisyon na...
[Desire HD General] marvdmartian:
Hey guys. What's the best radio for us here sa philippines? For Inspire 4G and Sun cellular? Kasi signal ng Inspire 4g ko is lower than the signal on my Sensation and Wildfire S. All of them are on Sun. Or maybe there's a way to improve signal. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
No idea why I am taking up Otterbox cases just now. They're just great!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Alright folks, I was supposed to buy the One X earlier from a store that sells it for 28K with 1 year warranty (Memoex is 29600 or something) then I noticed after a few minutes of tinkering that the live wallpaper stops whenever you scroll through the homescreens... I was like, what the? So I tried all LWPs, and its all the same. It becomes uglier the more complicated the LWP. So I said to myself, is this supposed to happen? Did HTC tinker with this to save up some juice with its 1800mah battery? (of course I didn't ask the sellers) And I left telling them that I'll still decide and come back. Then I discovered that its a known bug for the One X. Shizz... What an annoying bug. Folkes from the 1X thread are saying that an update should fix it. Dang! How annoying...

Nice to see LeeDroid has a landscape-able ROM but the LWP issue still persists... I'll probably get over my annoyance and get it next week. Lol... Nakakainis lang, it wasn't perfect OTB. But its still a beast overall :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Ako, I've already decided, I'll get the One X kapag lumabas na yung 2nd batches, andami talagang glitches/hardware defects nung first batch, like yung pagkakalaminate nung LCD and yung dead pixels, cracking sounds, rattle. I really hope that HTC will sort it out sa next batches ng One X nila, although I still drool myself over that phone :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
It is drool worthy, lalo when you're there holding it and ready to buy. It was just disappointing unlike my buying experiences with other phones especially with the DHD. Para kong bata nung nabili ko yung DHD, uber excited talaga... I thought it'll be the same. And to think this phone is even cheaper than the DHD when it first came out. Lol

I'd still get it soon. I was just expecting that HTC would be more precise about the One Series at least ;)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
The One X price is dropping, 27,990 on CMK. Sana umabot kahit 24k :))
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, I thought of that too. At this rate, it'll probably be 20k soon. So I decided not to buy for now and got a BB9790 instead. Will take a rest from Android phones for a while. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 wifi+3G is only 18K now which is probably what I'll get for my Android playing fix. Will get to play with the 4 cores next time...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Indeed they are... I even got my Bold one too... How silly but nice :D anyway, this might trump the OB for those who'll be making the shift to the X:

Ballistic! :D:D:D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Looks nice!
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Maganda sana, kaya lang I'll be getting the white one hahaha matatago yung sexiness ng phone hahaha. Pouch na lang siguro :) Pero good yan ah...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Look who's confusing us now?

The One X may be packing the first Quadcore Phone title but see who's tickling our choices in the near future ;)

Summary:

4.8 inch HD display 1280 x 720 pixels

1.4 GHz Quad-core Exynos CPU

1GB RAM

8 megapixel camera

1.9 megapixel ff camera

16/32GB versions, with 64GB coming soon

Micro SD card slot that supports up to another 64GB of storage

2,100 mAh battery inside of a 8.6mm shell

Now, could the expandability of storage and bigger battery win us over the X and wait? It'll be perfect if its TouchWiz free :D

Full Hands On article
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I don't find it much of an upgrade from the S2 though. Sure there are big leaps in specs but It seems that I don't need an upgrade in specs with the software I'm running now. So everyday use would probably be the same. Only it's bigger and thicker. I hope they concentrate on not having their own software (TW) crash on their own OTA updates. Little bugs, although little are annoying as hell on a flagship phone with a flagship price.

I'd probably stick with my S2 until Dec. :)

It seems One X > S3. Because of Sense, design, feel of the phone, HTC software is more stable than Samsung.

That's just me.

Edit:

Oh, also I know I can just flash CM9 on it and be done with it. But again, flagship phone. flagship price. Should be good OOTB.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
True... if only HTC could have waited a bit and ironed out the quirks of the X before release day. Its still a winner build quality wise. The S3 just looks a lot uglier next to the X yet, the S3 is packing some features that will sway flagship buyers.

New phones just come out of the woodwork don't they? And yet there's quiet ol'LG releasing "True HD" display (not really) packing 2GBs or ram :eek:

Overall, you bring an interesting point about not upgrading. I even decided not to buy another Android device at least till there's another "one" that I'm really waiting for and not settle for what's available now...

After all the hype is done, One X still is a better choice with it's 5th battery saving core, build quality and overall feel. Sense it totally better than TW... But I've outgrown sense after using vanilla ICS on the DHD.

For matters of daily use, there's really nothing astoundingly new that these "new" phones offer. It's just a joy to see new ones released after the other. What's important for me now is a physical keyboard, pocketability, power efficiency and not be lured in constant tweaking, flashing and updating... Lol

Enjoy the choices guys! :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Hehe welcome to the sawa club. :) I could live off a 5110 now, actually.

In all seriousness, I hope someone changes the game. I don't know what or how. But it's kinda getting old. :)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Let's see what Jellybean devices will pack in the future. Dun na lang ako babalik sa Android. My friends are happy with their One X and some others are waiting in line for the S3. Olats daw yung One V... lol Sawa na nga lang talaga siguro...
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Hahaha same here, I've decided to keep my DHD and just buy a gaming laptop for future use in Aussie :D I'll just wait for another flahship from HTC next year.
[Desire HD General] marts8:
Long time ah haha kamusta na dito? Kinain na kalulwa ko ng skyrim. Fail kasi Diablo eh tsk tsk
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Nothing new mate, most of us lost our "kati" factor when it comes to new phones hahaha! But I'm still considering upgrading my phone now, it's either SGS III or the One X.

Wala ba problem sa Skyrim mo? hindi naman naglalag pag malaki na save file? Currently playing D3 hahaha :D

Sorry for the OT
[Desire HD General] Kasush:
I am seriously looking at the One X. Just not happy about the lack of memory slot and the inbuilt battery. I think I can get over it, but I don't like the direction HTC is going. I prefer replaceable battery and memory slot.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I was thinking of the HOX myself, but with the Google phone rumors going around, I just have to wait and see. Besides, the DHD is still rockin' and I find it hard to justify a switch.

Also, I am still lovin' Skyrim on the PS3.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
What rumors mate? I'm too preoccupied with work so I don't have time to read stuffs :(
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Well, there has been talk of Google releasing a number of NEXUS phones from different manufacturers around Q4-ish. If this is true, I would really want to see what comes out before buying a new phone for myself. Especially since the DHD is still relevant.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
In the market for a new phone myself. :) HOX, GSIII or new IP?

Need to decide since I have a buyer that would get my GSII for 20k. It's selling for 23k brand new now so that's pretty much a good sell. :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Getting the GSIII tomorrow. Just cause it has a big battery and the HOX has issues. Might change it later this year when something good comes out. :-)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
bro let me know how your SGS III performs, because I'm also thinking of getting it myself.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Screen looks great. TW is alright. No lags, no hiccups. Great camera. Battery lasts 24 hrs of my normal use. Build quality is fine. Gimmicky features don't feel gimmicky.

Only con is its a big ass phone. But meh.

Best buy as of today. Better than the HOX overall.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Hey friends!

Been out of here for a while. I see site's changed a bit. Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying your S3 Tim, my friends are happier with their S3s and sold their HOXes (sounds Harry Potter-ish... lol). It is indeed big for a phone but extremely snappy. Almost bit the bullet too but I'm not ready to go back to full Android just yet. Perhaps Sammy will do a number on the Note 2... (Note 10 is a letdown).

Talk about big (not too big in fact), I've been on QNX for a quite a bit and fiddling with a dying breed which may very well come to life very soon. I never thought rooting will ever come to Blackberry but alas, here I am rooting my Playbook and converting apks. He he. On the plus side, multitasking is immaculate on this thing. I hope Android "adapts" it soon which surely seal in an already near-perfect OS.

If you're in the market for 7" tablets and are skeptical of its daily use, my picks are Nexus 7 and the Playbook atm. You won't be disappointed.

Screenies for your pleasure ;)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Just checking in mga paps...! After almost 5 months of physical keyboarding, waiting and resisting to buy, seems an SGS3 is on its way to me :D

It won over iP5, Note2 and HOX+, I would have wanted a JButterfly but the S3 came out swinging...

Seems I'll be flashing everyday yet again. He he he he :laugh:

I'm almost sure everyone here has moved on to something else too right?
[Desire HD General] marts8:
Same here:) Been gone for more than a year since I got my gnex January 2012. Unlocked the boot loader but no ROMs really piqued my interest so I kept it stock ever since. I've found that vanilla has gotten to a point that it satisfied my needs especially when project butter rolled out with jellybean. But sometimes I do miss the weekly flashing sessions with my DHD. It's still alive and well though running slower than my girl would like (still running a year old version of virtuous).

I'm in NYC right now but my gnex won't be coming home with me to Manila. I'm leaving it with my sister as my Nexus 4 is arriving Thursday:D Nice to see you guys still hanging out here. Kamusta naman kayo?:)
[Desire HD General] The Android Manual:
Hello I'll be in the PH on Wednesday :) is there a Gnex available in a mall? maybe not greenhills (I've been there its too far)

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] marts8:
Where are you coming from? Try SM Megamall:)
[Desire HD General] marvdmartian:
hey guys. do you still use your DHDs? it's still a good phone! I use mine secondary to my Sensation XE. I have a problem though, the upper right corner of the screen no longer responds to touch. Anybody have an idea what the problem could be? and is there any shop here in the Philippines that could fix the DHD?
