Should I buy?

.My major concerns are it cannot change battery and no sd card slot as I am always on the move.

Dont get the one x then. If you really want the SD slot and removable battery get the sgs3.

This should have been clearly in the Q&A section.
Nevertheless, if there is an working OTG (not sure how that developments stands about that, search...) you could connect to it an USB key lets say.
And battery, well if you need to change, you can also buy an external battery and recharge from that, or a battery case. Both solutions are as the extra battery exchange I would say.

You already answered your question. Don't buy it then.

Lol your question is the answer. Don't even consider getting a One X. Otherwise you'll be complaining and creating a new thread just for that.

Too bad but it's the best looking among the five quadcore smartphone in the market (my personal opinion).

Yes it is!
But like other people said here if you consider about SD card and battery, then don't buy it.

i am planning to buy the HOX next week. my concern is the hardware wifi issue. i cant replace it so thats y its a big problem. and i dont care about the storage as 32GB is more than enough. i still have 12GB left for nothing in my N900.
and battery: i just want my device to last 13hrs with moderate use. by moderate use i mean- 1.5hrs of gaming.(mostly stick cricket and temple run etc., 3hrs of music playback, 1hr of web browsing, few minutes call and sms). so to all one x users i want to make sure whether HOX is able to handle it with one charge cycle. please help me to evaluate as it will be my primary device..
which one should be wise enough to buy.. white or grey? i love both

SGS3....

If you get a good battery it should last you, but dont expect more

Like most products, manufacturing it different so some one x will have better battery than others, same with all handsets but because the one x battery uses a lot it is much more noticeable

The number of phones with the Wi-Fi h/w issue are in the single digit percentages. You have a one out of ten chance your phone might have the issue. If you don't like those odds, don't buy the phone. When you say "yellow tint" it could mean two things. The One X display is sourced from two different manufacturers. Acer is a "cool" display and the Sharp "warm." If you look at the device you intend to buy in the store you can decide if the display's suitable. If you’re ordering it online you probably have a 50/50 chance of getting a “warm” display. The One X glass panel is laminated to the display. In some phones parts of it can become de-laminated and show up as yellow spots. I'd guess you'd have the some odds of getting a phone with this defect as you would with the Wi-Fi defect. The One X gets better battery life than the GN based on GSMArena's testing in everything but watching video where AMOLED does better on darker colors. On the GN though you can replace the battery or buy an extended battery. I don't know what your "normal use" is but if it involves a lot screen-on time you won't make 13 hours with the One X.

How many times did you change the battery on the phone before. I dont understand why this is such a big deal. I never bought a new battery for any of my phones.

i will be buying it from store. is there any way i can check the yellow tint issue and whether my battery is faulty before buying it? my (also goes for my brothers nexus) normal use- leave house at 8:30 a.m --- 3hrs of music playback, 1hr of light gaming and 30mins of web browsing and few calls and sms. reach home at 9:30 p.m. How many percentages should be left by then? GN has 20 percent left with 3hrs of screen on

Different stores have different policies about unsealing phones before you actually purchase them. If the store lets you open it you'll be able to tell right away if there are display issues. Type "about:blank" in the browser and you'll get an all white page that'll show you whether the screen is warm or cool or has any obvious defects. I haven't heard any reports of faulty batteries so I don't know where that one came from. When I first got my phone (in April) the battery life was horrifying. After about a week of charge cycles it improved dramatically. What you have running in the background app wise, the strength of your cellular signal, and how many syncs you have set up will all make a huge difference in battery life. There’s a major update due soon that takes the phone to 4.0.4 and people using the leak have reported both better performance and battery life.

Thinking about jumping ship on Gnex.. What has the best battery on VZW?

Ive been with the Gnwx for almost a year now. I love the speed etc but the battery life isnt cutting it for me anymore. ANd honestly, Im not into flashing like I once was. I use the phone for 90% internet, 8% text and 2% GPS. thats pretty much it. The Gnex gets BAD signal in the building where I work, when people on TMO have full signal, Im rocking 1-2 bars on a good day. Its usually 1 bar. Even other VZW people are at least 1/2-full bars at all times. Funny thing is, once Im outside I get good signal. But once I get into the country-ish areas, the signal gets hit again. I can get 1.75-2 hours of use from the extended VZM OEM battery. Ive tried different roms and kernels to not much help.
So all in all, I need a phone that has good radios and good-decent battery. I guess that phone would be the Maxx right? Best battery life and best radios? What do you guys recommend?

Absolutely. My buddy has a Maxx and although it is heavy and ugly, it is a rock solid phone.

I was thinking about that. As much as I dont want to, the thing that means most to me now is battery life and signal. Not the latest and greatest.

My buddy upgraded from ICS to JB and he told me he was only getting half the battery life he used to get.

I've read (the usual caveats here) that the Galaxy Note II has both very good reception and what I can only describe as astounding battery life. One tester mentioned 8 hours of onscreen time (!). And that's with the huge 5.5" screen. Also survived drop tests intact, has removable battery, sdcard slot, FM radio, excellent CPU benchmarks, and on and on.
Not to some people's taste, of course, but very interesting.

Hmmmmm, buy spare batteries?
;p

i used to get bad signal to till i got the 4.1.1 update now its better not perfect but better i agree i use it for 90% internet i usually charge over night and once in the day about 60% i would suggest maybe the nexus 4 or s3 there maybe a better battery out there probably cost about $80+ tho

Your buddy used a leak that isn't final. Not trying to bash or anything just pointing that out.

If you want battery life, get the Droid Rarz HD Maxx. Nothing beats that phone in terms of battery life. Plus its a great device with a nice screen.

The RAZR max has a great battery. Why not try a seidio 3500 mah battery, if you want to keep the nexus?

I used my buds Note 2 and that is a pretty awesome phone. I pounded it with downloads, streaming vids etc and was over 4 hours of screen on time. The battery was still at 43% even with that huge display at over 70% brightness. Pretty crazy stuff!

Didn't realize the Note2 was receiving so much praise for its battery, that's really cool because I have been thinking about picking one up.
Note 2 - 3,100mAh
RAZR MAXX HD - 3300mAh
And I have no idea what carrier(s) but supposedly the new Lenovo P770 will have a 3500mAh battery.
I am very happy OEMs are starting to focus on the batteries, it took them waaay too long imo.

thanks guys. I dont want to get the Seido battery because its massive! Look how thin that maxx is..

External perhaps...
Not sure if you have just considered upgrading to the 2100mah samsung battery that was going to be stock with the original sale...supposedly adds like 30% to battery life.

I did that.

The maxx has great battery but please compare the beauty of the note 2 to the hideousness of just another droid. Besides Samsung never let's you down.

What about the bootloader on the MAXX though? I know it's locked, and I dont believe it is in the Moto "BL unlock program". An unlocked BL is a requirement for me because of AOSP. This isn't usually something you have to worry about with Samsung.

One X+ battery is compatible with One X [Update 5] + VIDEO

Hello!
It is known that HTC One X+ comes with a battery with more mAh than HTC One X. The difference is fairly 300mAh. We are all wondering if the HOX+ battery fits in HOX?
I just checked out the new battery and main board from HTC One X+ and compared it to our HOX. The battery should be compatible with HOX as it is the exact same size and everything.
Ill replace it and report you the difference.
Also, the main board from HTC One X+ looks like HOXs, it has some minor changes regarding heat dispatching. Pins and connectors are the same so it should be switchable with HOX. Will try that next week and report to you..
VIDEO of how I did it:
This video is not meant to be a full how-to.
It is just to clarify what needs to be done when changing the battery!
If you decide to do this by yourself I take no reponsibility for bricked and damaged devices.
Your warranty can void after you open your device. If you are unsure about the procedure, don't do it!
UPDATE 1 (15min of use):
First notice, charging the battery seems a bit slower. I'd say it is because of 300mAh more that needs to charge - it seems to work flawlessly. 3.6 - 3.7V when using phone, 4.0V when charging so those are the same I will change my system to maXimus 6 as I currently use v4.1 so you will have better look at the battery performance.
UPDATE 2 (2hours of use):
I am absolutely thrilled about the performance of the battery! I am not going to talk about capacity and long lasting battery because it makes no point as it is too soon and battery is not calibrated yet (we need to wait a few days for that) but about difference regarding heat!
When I did some bechmarks with my original hox battery it was alwas hitting about 47℃ and when I was playing nfs:most wanted battery reached unbelievablish fiftytwoes! Now with hox+ battery its ℃ is only at 38℃ and after 40min of nfs:most wanted battery is only at 41℃!!!! It is absolutely more heat friendly and after few hours of it I can only say it is unarguably awesome stay tuned for more!
UPDATE 3 (6hours of use):
Phone feels heavier and more solid! That extra weight (just a lil extra!) gives me a great feeling in my hand. Once again, the temperature of the device is about 5-10℃ lower at all times (surfing on the net, calls, games). There are no more fast and rapid % drops. The battery drain could be related to the heat of battery itself - since hox+ battery is cooler, those drains are gone. I can see some difference in battery performance - power on time, but it is too soon to tell more. My opinion: a little change for the device that makes it look like its on drugs.
UPDATE 4 (3days of use):
I did some battery tests today, tho only 1 day after installed new rom (v8 from football). You have the picture bellow. I am impressed with the battery already.
I can once again confirm all the 3 UPDATEs again: temperature is lower, phone just little heavier, needs more time to fully charge.
Most important: I can deffenitely tell that it already lasts longer. % drops are slower - one of the best feelings after you use One X (battery hungry device) for a while. I'll post my first one-day usage report in a day CHEERS!
UPDATE 5 (4days of use):
So this is the first battery stat update. I can only tell that I am absolutely amazed about how easy I got almost 6hours of screen ON! With 17% battery left! That really is outstanding. It is not only the capacity that makes the difference - heat drained the original battery (gone with the new one x+ battery) and thats the reason for even better result in my opinion.
Check out the pictures:
(Running on the "maXimus V8.0.1")

Looking at the picture, the X+ battery is rated 3.8V, and not 3.7.
That may cause issues with charging circuit, for example.

Very interesting... will follow your updates.

that change is irrelevant, it does not effect charging circuit. that battery from hox+ is within acceptable normal range for a full charge. nothing to worry about. also its a minimal change that can't affect your phone as it only has single phase electric power

Can you post some screenshots of battery info and performance after a few days using it? Thanks

Where did you get the battery ? Changing the battery difficult?
Minor changes regarding heat dispatching? Means the HOX+ is definitely running cooler than HOX.
And yes it would be really good to see battery stats!
Cheers!

Those minor changes are on the main board: alu on the top of the nvidia chip is cut so the chip is actually looking from the main board and nothing is between chip and copper foil for better heat dispatching.

Shouldn't be that difficult. There are a lot of how-to's on opening the One X. Look for example in the threads about the WiFi problem. If you have it open, it can't be difficult anymore.

Opening the shell is actually the easy part. It gets complicated because battery has connector on the bottom part of motherboard so you have to detach whole motherboard from chasis and disconnect all the connectors on it to reach the battery connector. I will post a quick video tomorrow, maybe a how-to will follow one day but i wouldnt suggest that to anyone who has no experience .. you can damage your smartphone!

Upgrading from GNEX to Nexus 5, battery problem.

As title,
I can't understand how an high end phone can have integrated battery.
I need to switch batteries once one is exhaust.
Why all this phones comes with integrated batteries?
Is there some info on the nexus 5 battery?

The idea behind integrated batteries is due to the fact that most of them make the phone slim and cheaper. Or so I was told by a spokesperson about it. As for the exhaust part. It usually lives to about 2-3 years before it needs a change.

If you cannot switch to a charged battery and you use the phone during the day and you haven't got an AC, you are without the phone due to the low battery in the evening.

instead to buy an other battery, you could buy a portable power supply to charge the phone

It's a non-issue for 99% of users. Only a tiny fraction of Android users ever switch batteries.
It's less of an issue in modern phones. The Galaxy Nexus's battery life is notoriously terrible if you compare it to a modern phone which has no problem going with heavy usage with hours of screen-on time per day.

LOL , it's clear in that the N4 didn't have a removable battery , and the "D820" in the FCC filing has a non removable back . Just like the people complaining that Nexus' don't have SD slots , 64Gb storage or come in a variety of colors , you are forgetting this is a developers phone. Google isn't trying to steal any major market share from any of the manufacturers . Developers don't need 38 hour battery life , and I would imagine that they also don't do any work on the phone while on an overnight hike without a way to plug the phone in . I like having a removable battery , in the past I liked having a removable SD card , I decided the Nexus was the right phone for me so I gave up the sd card ,I will probably give up a removable battery and get the N5 . If you can't live without a removable battery , look to other devices. You have to find the phone that best suits your usage , because you will never get manufacturers to make a device to your specs .

Why? developers are not human or don't use the phone outside their work?
I'm an app developer so I like a nexus phone but I like carrying the phone around for my "real life".
Should I buy a phone to develop and one to go out with friends?

The argument that Nexus phones are still designed solely for developers (as was the case with the Nexus One) doesn't really hold water anymore, I don't think.
It seems to me that Nexus phones are designed for consumers now, given the price and design decisions. Of course, they make great developer devices as well.

I agree with you.

I kind of like it... I feel like some colour after all the black.

Yep non removable bat is paint to me to... thats why im still with my gnex.
Also you can put a 10 Amperes hour charging the phone and would make minimum diference since the power circuit that regulates the charge only allow a max of amps... and i dont think it goes above 3A or 3000mAh... the Joules effect on the internal circuits would be interesting to see with 8Amps.

I guess if battery is a problem theres always the LG G2 option?

I'm on the fence about this. I am fortunate, in that I'm almost always near an outlet, so I can just plug my phone in. So, I don't need to worry so much about battery life. My S3 has more than enough power to make it through the work day, where as the GNex always needed some juice just after lunch time. I never have to remove my battery, and have no need for anything larger. The LG-D820 has a bigger battery than the S3, so, all things being equal, the battery life will be a tad better (probably not enough to notice, as specs on paper don't always correlate to real life performance). I just wish manufacturers would stop making phones thinner and thinner. There's really no point, other than from a marketing standpoint, as well as aesthetics. Thinner phones are harder to hold. They have no "hips" to hold on to. Just look at the number of S3s with cracked screens for sale on ebay. Same with the Droid DNA, Nexus 4, etc. I suspect the S4 and LG G2 will be the same way. What is wrong with phones the thickness of the HTC Amaze 4G? The Evo Shift 4G? With phones that "thick", you could fit some serious batteries under there, which would help alleviate complaints about battery life, removable or not.

[Q] Crap Battery Life

Hi there, i was considering replacing the battery on my HOX as the battery dies too quick.
If i do simple things like surf the web or check facebook for 2 minutes the battery drains about 3-5%
My uncle has had the phone on contract for 2 years and it finished so he gave me the phone as he got an upgrade and i was thinking of replacing the battery as it may not be able to hold a charge for long.
There are also 2 options i was going for;
HOX+ Battery
HOX Battery
I am wanting to know if it is worth it and which one to get?

I found the Hox Plus Battery on ebay for £20 as mine was driving me nuts and the shop along the rd installed it for £5 but i havent used it in anger yet but i'm hopefull of a little more use out of the phone. There are guides on the net for doing it yourself right enough.

much better for me

Get the HOX+ battery if you're going to replace it, but don't expect a huge increase in battery life. There will be a marginal difference (which may be quite noticeable if the current battery is 2 years old) but overall the HOX just has poor battery life in general. It's one of the cons of the phone that really can't be overcome, even by reducing screen brightness, turning off wifi, etc. If battery life is important to you, it may be worth getting the HTC One if possible (or the M8 if you can afford it). Alternatively phones like the LG G2 are cheaper but superior to the HOX and have a much better battery life.

Does your HOX die after 1-2 hours of playing something like candy crush?
