Develop Bugs

[Q] New phone or continue with my Desire?

I love my HTC Desire more than any phone I have ever had. I baught it the day it came out, and I have not had any trouble with it ever since. I have used CM since 6.x version and I love the product. It has kept me up to date without having to upgrade my phone.
Now im testing out some of the ISC versions that works on my phone, still I feel that the hardware is now not enough for me, (including cam- quality, and especially internal memory and processor speed).
So I wonder what phone should I consider if I decide to buy a new phone? Or should I wait for something extraordinary to come on the market?

Wait for HTC Edge or Ville. I also came to conclusion that I want better GPU and better camera. For 2-year-old phone Desire is still unbelievable competitive.

Those two phones looks amazing, especially the Edge with the quad-core. Hope the camera could be a reasonably replacement for a digital camera. I havent seen many phones that can match the flash that regular digital cameras have.
I am more devoted to stay with HTC after I saw they have the HTCdev.com .
Was considering to look into some of the samsung- phones, but I feel its a bit more plastic than HTC.

I agree with mikbe on this one. My Desire is suprisingly competitive after almost two years. If I should buy a phone today, it would probably be the SII. But since my Desire is still alive and kicking, I'm gonna wait for the "next big thing", whatever (or whoever) that might be. I love my HTC, but I'm not married to them Maybe the SIII...?

After experimenting with launchers and AOSP I have always come back to Sense. That's why HTC is my next phone.

i got the galaxy nexus, but i still use the desire, its just more fun playing with different roms & mods

Same here, still enjoying my Desire as if I got it yesterday.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

if you buy today,then I would choose HTC Sensation
but it is reasonable to wait for HTC Edge
if you buy the Samsung I bought a samsung galaxy nexus

Just be a few weeks until the next set of HTC phones will be released at MWC. I would wait until after then - something might grab you, or if not, the current phones should come down in price. This is the worst time to buy just now!

after my htc desire I may switch to the htc sensation
though...i also like the size and look of it very much
having a tablet some of the 'new-power-devices' features are not required
i may even go back to a smaller phone next time...so having more a 'telephone' than a small supercomputer
I was htc fan for many years now..but also considering a samsung as my next android phone

I think I will wait for the next great HTC phone. Now that I have Sandvolds ICS I can float a bit longer. And now that I have an extra partition I can install lots of stuff. The ICS is a bit buggy, bit hopefully it will become complete. Sandvold is doing a great job. Recommend it for everyone !

Should I sell it and Wait or Not

Okay So AT&T Sent me a New Nitro HD. Not Referb.
So I'm deciding. Should I sale it since it will be NEW and get a little more money out of it. Or Should I use it til the HTC One X Comes out?? How much do yal think it will go for on eBay and such? Cause I want the HTC One X so Bad now! Compaired to the Note lol. Not to big not too small.
So if I wait the 2 months til that phone comes out do u think the Nitro`s Value will go down more?

It will definitely go down in value between now and then... More phones coming out with similar or better specs will continue to take away from the value of the nitro. Now, the fact that we should get ICS through cyanogenmod (hopefully) may make it less difficult to stay with the phone, or help it's value in the short time? As for the value you can look to get for the phone, that is a good question...

I've been trying to sell mine and haven't had the best of luck...I know At&t just dropped the price on them so if you're looking to get the most bang I would try to sell it now before any more price drops happen. Good luck!

[Q] One X worth it?

Few days ago I ordered One X and paid almost 700€ for it (Yea I'm dumb, I know), now I'm reading comments reviews about the phone on places like phonearena and gsm arena etc. They are all praise the phone like "The Best Android Phone period".
But I find those reviews pretty much useless, because obviously they don't say a word about unlocking bootloaders or flashing custom ROMs. Then again SGS2, GNex and possibly SGS3 are consireded as 'developer phones' and they recive a lot of developement from the community.
So did I just waste 300€ (As I could have bought GNex for 400€) for One X, or is it really worth it, development vise. I probably get rid of Sense on the first day so things like that are irrelevant. So I'd like to know are things like S-OFF and CWM aviable and is the phone generally easy to work with.
sorry about my english/ sorry if posted elsewhere

Only the S-OFF is a pickle atm, matter of time that we get it I guess. Silly to ask if HTC Flagship phone will have development Answer is: It will have plenty

I got that "mini" with only 0.5mb speed, usually 60kt/s

Haha you're not the only one who made the dumb decision for paying 700€, I paid 649€ for mine but you know... I'm very satisfied with this phone so to hell with that. But back on topic; I go with Nubzori; this device is THE current flagship of HTC. It will undoubtedly have plenty of development.

i paid €480

As a former Samsung Captivate and a recently stolen Samsung Galaxy S2 owner I am also new to the HTC world and I now feel like a complete noob. I just got my HOX today and I am still waiting for my SIM to be activated (Murphys Law I went to my phone company and their system was down).
I have high expectations for the XDA community on this phone, I remember when I got my Captivate I was frustrated and wanted to throw it in the garbage can after a few days, only to be in love with it months later after a good dose of Cognition and CM7. It got me to upgrade to a SGS2 which til the day it got stolen it was a beast.
So far I have culture shock. I am missing the deep blacks but I think I will be over it in no time. I am worried about photo quality compared to SGS2 but I have shoot a few test shots and I am ok with the photo quality in HOX. I do have to say the camera interface rocks big time!!!!
I remember how disgusted I was the first few weeks with Touchwiz on both my SGS and SGS2 but I am kind of digging Sense 4.0. I hope we can get great ROMS based on it and ROMS that optimize processor power and battery life.

[Q] Next Big thing?

ive been lucky enough to have a htc desire but whats goin to be then next phone with as much support as me disire?
cos theres lots of popular phones about that i thought had loads of support that to me suprise dont have lil things like an unpayed way of doin a sim unlock

The S3 and the One X have pretty big communities. Dunno how friendly they are though...

+1. The next top tier phone will always have a vast selection of roms. I don't care about friendliness, if you're a fool you'll get dominated wherever you go.

I have used Desire for more than two years. All stock, never messed with it, and it was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. I loved it!
Now, I have One X, and that's a different pleasure. I got it rooted, and it has a great, smooth, fast, reliable, and battery light ROM.
Desire I handed over to my wife, and she still lets me touch it.
S III would be my second choice...
But now, when One X+ is announced, there is no dilema!!

i quite agree the s111 is the phone my wife upgraded to when i got her desire but i told her to get the X1 so hope i see all of you in the s111 forum in a couple yrs

I think One X is a good option.

Might go Nexus this this time around... Depending on what Google releases on Oct 29th. It's probably the LG Nexus... well see if I'll be convinced that its a great device.
OneX+ would be my 2nd choice..

Are you still in love with your X?

The purpose of this thread is to see how many people are still loving their One X.
I was fascinated when I bought it. It was the most beautiful piece of technology I ever owned or even laid my eyes on. I still love it. For some time a week ago I was really disappointed in HTC. Not giving us S-OFF. Not releasing Jellybean even tough they promised to. But then I flashed a really nice ROM and it kind of made me think my choice of the One X over SGS3 was right. I flashed ICJ and it's a new phone. I just needed a change, got bored of the stock JB. And seeing all the tweaks and options on that ROM just reminded me of how great this phone is.
Do you share my point of view or have you already lost faith in HTC?

I still love my htc one x but it doesn't changes the truths like late jelly bean and no s-off. I will sell my hox and buy a n4 just because I want the pure google rom and google support.

Why are you happy with your choice of the One X over the SGS3 when you are having a better experience with TouchWiz, the default SGS3-launcher?
Seems a bit ironic.

I am. Love sense and the hox. For me, the best phone out as of now.

I never said Sense was my choice. I really dislike Sense. I normally use stock JB, but I just wanted to change things up a bit. I chose the One X because my last 3 phones were Samsung and all of them had difficulties with hardware after a year or so. And because it looked a million times better and more high quality compared to the SGS3.

No. I'm getting a Nexus4 ASAP
Küldve az én HTC One X-emről

I've enjoyed my HOX, but I'm too excited about the Nexus 4 right now. It's been fun but it's time to move on.

I really fall in love with mine every time I watch a video on it or play a game i'm not that bothered by not having JB yet or that it's s-on This is the first android phone I'm really happy with just stock the only thing I would change is the battery and I'm gonna check at my local service center if they can hook me up with a x+ batt then I'll be happy with every aspect of it

Fed up of the jb fiasco no more HTC for me.

Wow, you haven't got JB? Tell me how your life sucks because you don't have jellybean installed on your phone! (If you want updates that bad why didn't you buy a Nexus?)
I'm very pleased with my HOX, an overall great phone with a beautiful screen.

Exactly how I feel
Only one more thing bothers me. My one x was one of the early ones but had none of the defects many people was having.
But in the last two weeks yellow spots has started appearing

Well, I was never in "love" with any phone I owned; but I am pretty happy with it as the main electronic device of my daily life, with the laptop and TV.
can say that it is the one which broke the Sony trio, but not unhappy or regretted with that choice.
Still I want the whole Android experience and some HTC experiences to be improved, but I will not cry for things I already knew before buying this phone.
Fiasco? Not releasing JB even promised?
I think you better change the point of view you have on some specific cases. Otherwise you will never ever be happy with any piece of stuff you own.

Wow, some interesting opinions here.
When I first got my HOX, I loved it, it got the WiFi antenna problem, I sent out in for repair, it came back with a broken case, I sent it back it came back with the screen chipped and yellow spots, sent it back and now I have a new HOX.
So for quite a while I was not happy, but now I'm in love again. I got a cheap silicon case which gives it better grip (I find it a bit slippery to hold as it is) also I notice the led seems to be in a better spot. So it good all round.
As for the infamous jelly bean, that's the icing on the cake. Can't live without Sense, so don't want to flash stock.

First Smartphone
This is my first ever smart phone which is also first android phone..
When first time i saw this phone back in March-12, the first impression was for me, forget the budget... if i have to buy a phone... it will be HOX only..
Forget iphone or BB, even S3 was not in options for me...
and later what happened is just a history now... i have flaunted this phone in my social circle as much as one can do with their Ferrari or Lamborghini..
and i am also happy because after seeing my HOX, few more people were convinced to buy HOX or HOX+ instead of S3...
And no need to mention that, i never switched to any custom ROM.. all pure HOX with Sense

Still happy with the HOX in some kind but honestly: Since i got me a Note 2 for work i touch the HOX more less and less.

after 5 months with my hox i still in love with it! amazin design and everytime i watch it i love it more!
no s-off, but why do we need s-off now? we have everything we need and we'll have it for long time, and if we'll have s-off too in the future it will just be better!
amazing hardware, amazing display and amazing sense! if i'm bored by sense, i install cm10 or just any other launcher! and i can return to sense whenever i want!

I hate my one x. Gorilla glass cracked at 1 foot. Crap memory for recovery hence no 4ext. Bad move on no microsd. Only thing good is crisp display and nice processor.
HTC failed!

i haven't used many phones... would you tell me which SMART phone screen can survive after falling on ground?? i might have been just lucky because mine has fallen 3 times (yes i remembered each, it was mini-heart attack for me) but i guess screen has survived some how..
