[Q] Orange swappables UK - HTC One X

Has anyone managed to get the game one to work on their handset?

The game swappables are now available to use, although as a bit of advice don't bother choosing it as the selection is awful. Next month i will be swapping to a different one.

Could you take some screenshots or something of the selection?
The web page suggests things like Fifa 12, but doesn't actually state it (so I assumed they were using that as some crap Marketing Pull)..
http://pantherplan.orange.co.uk/swapable/7 - You see?

I shall try and get a screenshot up in a bit, but it lists games for the one x and atm there are not many at all. I tried the who wants to be a millionaire and it is shocking.

Sky the best one rest are pants to be honest

Deezer is definitely one I will get - can't decide on n2 atm though. Mind you, when I looked on the 5th of APril when I got the phone the only one I could get was astrology :S

so its just a notification item? you still have to pull out the phone to respond or access all data right? a bluetooth earpiece/headset can tell me whos calling, switch through music, etc...
i really dont see the point. my phone is always either in my pocket or on my workdesk in plain view for me to easily see. Im not constantly checking personal email, sms, twitter/fb updates while at work or when im out playing or partying regardless.
Do you think it will be compatible with the EVO?
EDIT
They are and I am getting one in a heartbeat, I wonder what the battery is like on it.
EDIT 2
It says its compatible with the Galaxy S series and the HTC Desire, it also says the phone has to have bluetooth 2.1 do we are just fine!
And to the OP THANK YOU for showing me this.
EDIT 3
Well Ive been doing some digging forum and I found this nice spec
- Typical consumer battery usage time: 4 days
and its 69 EUROS or 96 bucks, nice little conversion there I dont mind paying that for one of these, it is also looking at a november release date too.
Being a very active college student, i will be getting one of these, as my evo has replaced my ipod, this should make the music player work better when im going between classes so im prolly gonna grab one

Whats the point of putting a 3.5mm jack on it, this is basically a wireless remote for your phone, not a media player

i think his point was why not make it a media player? a remote control for your phone is as useless as a remote control for your car stereo.
of course theres the likes of the bt3030 that can do that already.... hmmm
why get a phone with a huge screen if you're not going to use it =/
It's up for preorder at a few places. Anyone preorder it yet? I found a German outlet selling it the cheapest, but they don't ship to the US. Looks like it goes for $80 at Play.com but it also doesn't look like they ship to the US. Expansys does have it for $99...so I may just have to go with that.
I kinda want one O_O
Bought it, and am using it, and it is a bit buggy with the evo. The music player cannot be controlled from my experience, and the software freezes the phone sometimes. It shows "paired not connected" in bluetooth settings, yet still seems to work, but sometimes loses connection. I am looking for a Desire HD ROM port or a vanilla android build to see if I can get this thing working, but I do not want to lose 4g.

Offline Setup

I'm going to be going to a reception/WiFi free zone at the end of this month. I should get my GN in the middle of Dec. I got a question about setup though, will I be qble to get past the initialization with being completely cutoff from data? Pretty much ill just be using the phone as a media device for about 4-5 months. Can anyone else verify that you can skip past the setup screens on ICS?
Yes you would, but trust me this is not the phone for you especially with the 16GB on it.
I hear ya, I'm hoping for the 32 gb... I can wait for the larger gsm version until may if I have to but I'm being optimistic.
Back on topic, I'm glad to know you can use the phone as a media device with no signal.

HTC One X now out in Australia

Picked up my unlocked White HTC One X here at a local phone shop in Melbourne Australia today for $668 Aust.
Loving it so far, beautiful screen and resolution and overall feel is very solid and premium.
The Sony Xperia S will be getting sold!
Ask any questions you would like to know answers to and I will do my best to respond..
Congrats mate
Only thing white specific I'm interested in is how easy cleaning the back of the phone is from hand oils, dirt, marks, etc. Someone on youtube shows a pen coming off okay, but don't worry, I won't ask you to test that
Hope the UK retailers get their act in gear and we aren't waiting till estimates like the 10th-12th for Phone.
here's a few things you can test mate, i'd appreciate the response:
- take a 720p and 1080p video and check what bitrate it's recorded at
- take some normal and HDR shots of the same thing and post them
- take a panorama (they supposedly increased the dimensions) and post it
- run a quadrant, antutu, stuff like that and post results
thanks!

Well bit early to tell yet (only 2 hours old) but the back of the phone doesn't show any finger prints etc so far and looks like it will wipe clean easily ..

Seems pretty much the same sofar - is there a way to better measure this?
Currently got my eyes stuck on the HTC One X at the moment (I'm from Perth, Australia).
Would be awesome if we could get a black/grey one here in Australia, but not a BIG problem (I just dislike anything glossy, to be honest, and the rim around the grey's camera is matte).
Anyway, will see what SGS3 has to offer before I pick between that and the HTC One X.
Looking VERY promising and I'm really excited!

I too was gonna wait til the sgs3, but after the terrible ICS update for the SGS2, im going for a complete overhaul.
I've never owned an HTC phone, & never owned a white phone - so, why not.

I'm going to give it a chance anyway, since there IS a reason why the SGS2 was king of Android for quite awhile there!
And besides, I'll most likely root the phone and install a custom ROM anyway

That's cool, I'm not a fanboy for any manufacturer or device & don't disregard anyone's opinion.
but SGS2 is still Samsung's flagship device, ICS is its first update to a new android & I cannot believe how poor ICS is for this device.
The design is very poor, it feels nothing like ICS.
It's really laggy & slow compared to the excellent gingerbread rom that samsung developed.
It completely ruined my confidence in Samsung's software development team & forced me to go elsewhere - maybe in the future samsung will improve its software, but for now - i want a change.
Never owned an HTC device before, never used sense & never owned a white phone before, so this is gonna feel completely fresh & new to me - excited!
I predict the sgs3 would have the same 'feel' as SGS2 but faster with better specs, & its this feel I wanted a change from. (not because it's a bad feeling, but I certainly want to feel like I have a new phone, a new experience & new software)
Good luck with your decision making

Definitely! I'm basically just looking at what both has to offer rather than sort of risk jumping into the HTC One X pool then having to come out again when the SGS3 is significantly better.
In other words, I'm looking at which has better features for me personally, since I assume they'll both be in the same price range anyway.
Good luck with your decision making

still a revised built phone is better either way

i wouldn't care about screen flex, i don't press that hard on the screen xD
but that screen flicker now really pisses me off more and more
it's even on my lockscreen now!
i wait a bit longer to see what happens. probably HTC confirms exactly this problem or it gets even fixed (i don't believe it's a software problem though)
but i'll bring back the phone in one or two weeks.. :/

Could someone please describe what the screen flicker means?
I don't have any of the hardware issues but I do have one problem. On very low brightness when I scroll in apps (like when reading an article in pulse) i get a very faint change in the brightness of the screen. It's like it goes a litter dimmer and then gets bright again. Happens everytime I scroll at low brightness. Is this the screen flicker people talk about?
I also get a few jagged lines on the screen, but that happens *VERY* rarely. I don't even know a way of reproducing them.
Would you say I have a faulty set? Or is mine fine and these issues should be fixed by an update. I'm still on 1.26. 1.28 hasn't yet rolled out in India.

our screen flicker is really when the backlight is flashing very fast, mostly in grey areas of the screen. best you see it when viewing the standard picture in the "camera shots" folder, the one with the snowplains and the sun.
my screen flickers like crazy there around the sun.
if you have it, you will notice it there

the only thing wich fails is the screen, wich will flicker after some use. this will somehow get fix'd, doesn't matter if it's software sided or hardware
if it's software sided we will get a fix, else we can all exchange our device for a non flickering one..
but the gsensor? no problems here..
