I'm more than happy with this phone. I'm not getting very good battery life, and can't last a day, but I'm not too concerned because I'm sure tweaks will be found to increase battery life and a bigger battery will probably be available at some stage.

i would like to see how desire hd will get bigger battery life if it goes inside the phone hardware unlike the HD2 with its own cover.
Battery life is not a problem nowadays with any device. Just get a couple of $5 batteries from hongkong (eBay) with a charger. Keep a full charged battery in your pocket and you will see that you don't give a d*mn about how fast or slow the device is draining the battery.
YES!! Got everything I need!

I still can't make up my mind on my DHD, afew things bother me about it, the battery life, the sound, and the weight of it. Im thinking about changing it for a iPhone 4 as I've had my heart set on one for awhile now.

I've always wanted a jailbroken iPhone for sum reason. Maybe I should just stick with the dhd for now and just wait for the next iPhone to come out next July, and see wot that's like. Hmmmm

Battery is better then I expected but dies fast under heavy load. the text input can be laggy and difficult due to the extremely sensitive screen, just need to be near it for it to sense an input! With there being so little boarder round edge of the phone it often thinks I'm trying to do something else when I'm just trying to hold it in my big hands :S annoying when trying to type!!!!!!
The camera is a massive step up from my TP2. Haven't tried video in daylight yet, got the DHD and went straight to a wedding.

Im totally the other way, typing is a joy, no lag at all, never touched something I didn't want to while holding it.
The camera and video are almost unusable indoors, going from light to dark, very bad, not to bad outside but still this is the biggest problem with this phone, Im hoping this can be sorted out.
All in all very pleased with it but Ill be upgrading to HTC next phone next year probably....if its any good haha
Again no one mentions the camera and video going from light to dark, very bad, I thought this would be the number 1 complaint.

I guess it depends what you want to use it for. I have a digital slr for photos, am happy with something that takes adequate spur of the moment pics.
I've never understood taking videos, just not my thing, even dating back to when camcorders first came out. I recently had to sit thru a video of a friends 40th. They were sitting there laughing away and I was thinking to myself 'i was there, I know all this already!'.

Having just moved from a jailbroken iPhone, if you want to customise your phone in anyway I would highly discourage anyone from the iPhone. The iPhone is a great piece of kit as long as you use it the way apple intended and no other.
Android and HTC are so much more flexible and cusomisable
Hi I've had my DHD for about 4 days and I'm happy. The battery doesn't last more than a day but I'm playing around more than I normally would so sort of expecting it.
The screen is really good and as far as pictures and videos go, they are as good as I would expect from camera phone. To expect more would be silly I feel, like one of the other posts said there are dedicated cameras if you want really good pictures.
The software could maybe do with some tweaks but I'm sure with updates they will come.
Cheers muzzy

I haven't this phone..
What's Problem also with Sound?
Happy
Battery life is on a par with my previous 3 devices!! Why are people going on about this. Give the phone at least a week for a few recharges to condition the battery and you will get a day's use out of it under normal use. I keep the charger by my bed and it's all set to go the next day.
My only gripe is the external speaker. Otherwise very happy
I don't know about the rest of you guys but since the 1.28 firmware update I'm getting at least 3 more hours out of my battery than before. This is getting even better than my rooted Note was. They didn't even optimize the battery as much as they could with this update I've heard. Love this phone

Funny, mine got worse.
Mine is significantly worse as well, i was able to get 4+ screen time with 1.26 but as of now its ~3 hours. But i don't mind, i assume its just kernel issues because people with the exact same one x screen but different processor are able to get 6 hours screen time.
From what i can gather the problem that everyone is having is that all four cores are running when its not necessary and could be easily scaled down to using just the one, but with time i assume these issues will be fixed.

How can i know if my battery is defect? i think so because i never had a better result than 10hours with my one x.. i tried everything! Flashed 100 Roms and 100 Kernels (Repacked and not) and cleaned my system 100times xD how can i test if its damaged? my htc is 2 weeks old!
you can run the HTC Battery Test

Right now the stock rom and kernel will give you best battery results so stop flashing. The difference won't be large though..

Dim screen screen time out to 15 sec.
Adjust setcpu
Toggle data off when not used
This phone truly has iphone batt quality least I think so.. and I've owned every device under the sun.
Charge all night but charge with data toggled off

The update is finally here! 31.37 MB file. Hope it improves the battery life!
Yup, have just completed the upgrade, let's see. What this brings!

battery life seems horrible... 11 mins auto brightness down 17%
Give it time, it should improve.
And, the update to 1.29 is known to resolve the dreaded screen flickering. I haven't had the screen flicker since upgrading to 1.29 based ROMs.

I'm out of juice half way through the day I had a full day of use before the update. I was told in another thread to give it some time and a few charge cycles.
Yup, my battery life's gotten worse too. (now even though i'm pretty sure there isn't, i'll still ask for the sake of it..) Does anybody know an easy way to "undo" this last update? i mean without rooting nd stuff..
I dont think so....

Worse battery and worst benchmarks. I know they aren't the sole criteria to measure the performance but they have decreased a lot .antutu is now 8900 and quadrant 3600. Couldn't get worse than this. only good thing is screen flicker has gone.

Benchmark scores seem to be affected by remaining battery and temperature of the device.

i think the best way to know does it work worse or did you do some thing wrong is give it one day with just stoke app. If it is ok so you or the app you installed must do something wrong
is your battery low when you did the benchmarks? I get around 10400 antutu and 4400 quadrant. everything is stock.
I really like 95% of this phone but I can't get one with no major issues. These are the things that are making me considering switching to an S3
- battery life still isn't great on the latest update. S3 should be much better
- inconsistent wifi - I don't have the hardware problem on this one (previous ones have) but staying in the same spot, I still a signal which fluctuates alot, where other devices recieve a consistent strong signal
- Chrome browser - really like this most of the time but I frequently just get a blank white screen and no amount of reloading works - it affects any website and all open tabs.
- overheating..especially when on charge (playing games) it flashes red/green or even just browsing (on low brightness) it gets very warm to touch (high 40's degrees C shown on Batter Monitor Widget)
I'm on stock BTW and am not a root-er so I'm not considering other ROMs. Had an S2 previously, liked it but not too keen the gingerbread look which the S3 seems to have stuck with on their ICS touchwizz) Any advice appreciated.
The S3s wifi is awful I have both. The S3 also gets very warm when playing games and charging. The issue with chrome is the app not the phone. Mine does it on the s3. The battery life would be better of you had more than one battery. As far as a single charge goes they are about the same.

Chrome is like this because it's beta man. It's not because of the phone. I have this problem too.
Use Opera, it's perfect and damn fast.

Fair enough on the Chrome thing. I thought the s3 battery is meant to be a fair bit longer lasting (it's more powerful for starters). Guess these phones will run hot, just didn't expect it to stop charging as it's overheating when just browsing etc.
Which of the two handsets do you prefer?

Flash siyah kernel, it.has.excellent battery life.and.extended wifi.range and you can undervolt or.overclock with.the.built.in.app. on average i.get just over 4 hours screen on time, some report even.five hours, i guess it depends how much you.under volt. Longest battery lasted with moderate use was 36 hours
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I prefer the one x myself & I know you can mod it but I was basing this as if it was stock no mods. & the s3 lasts a bit longer but not a major difference. I was plugging them in the same time.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Have both s3 and hox. I use the hox over s3. The pros far outweigh the cons. Especially if you dont intend to root and use custom roms. Stock cheezwiz on sgs3 is just pathetic. Sense is miles ahead and with the latest update it rocks. Stay with the hox.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have the htx one x my colleague has the s3 we don't notice any significant difference in the battery life. The HTC does not last playing sonic for the tigra. Also if wifi is intermittent the battery drains fast.
I get a day easily under normal use though.

Stop worrying about these chidlren toys .. Buy a note 2 when it comes out...
I think the One X is better with the new base(2.17), and with Jelly Bean it's gonna be awesome, so don't get an S3!
I'm on my 3rd hox now, WiFi is really bad have to be in the same room as router, not acceptable if you ask me.
Yes this is a great phone but I can't keep hanging around for getting a phone works as it should.
Shame on HTC

Because he has an HOX so of course he's entitled to be here. And enough with defending HTC and bashing the disgruntled customers. They're entitled to voice their dissatisfaction. Just because you dont have to change many times to get a defect free handset doesnt mean you can rely on that to claim that HTC has done a good job w the manufacturing process. You're HTC's customers, not their employees. NO need to get worked up when somebody complains about a real issue.

Withe the last 2.17 released no WiFi issue at all if you already on this release and still have this problem you should check your router.
In other hand don't believe that the S3 is better than the one X , the first thing you gonna miss is the one X brilliant display.
Wish you the best

Make sure it's not a WiFi antenna disconnection, make sure that your router is not on a channel where there's loads of interference, make sure that your phone is on 2.17.

1. S3 isn't, AMOLED EATS battery compared to S-LCD2. Unless you get another battery, in which case you'll blow the One X away.
2. Make sure there isn't any interference on your router, and make sure that the fluctuations are not affecting actual use of WiFi.
3. Chrome does this for everything.
4. Overheating will happen if you charge while playing games. Don't do it on these phones unless you really want to destroy it early from overheating. If you're going to charge it, leave it alone and stick with light use. Undervolting can also help with these issues, but if you go too far you will cause the phone to randomly go into bootloops that require a power button hold down to fix, or having the phone fall into a sleep of death.
WiFi signal fluctuations may also just be the phone's signal indicator actually being more representative of true signal. The only way to really know is to look at something like WiFi Analyzer and compare the dBm.
It's the same problem I've had with all three phones, when I squeeze the top right of the phone the reception goes full, but the first few weeks of using the phone the WiFi is perfect.
I'm pretty gutted that I'm movin on because I really like this phone, I'm not the biggest fan of Samsung but its the only other equivalent at the moment, I've had the hox from day 1 and its been great while the WiFi works, that's the only reason I'm changing, other wise I'd be HTC all the way
