Those of you running Sense 3.X ROMs are in for a treat.
HTC are doing an Easter Special Weekend, and they have discounted 52 films to just 5p (to rent though ) - Think of it as going to the cinema for 5p Some of the latest films are on show!
Fire up the HTC Watch app, and set up an account.
Some top titles include:
Paranormal Activity 3, Transformers, Hostel, Harry potter, Hangover, Exorcist etc.
Hope you guys found this helpful
Thanks for this, good way for me to test out its video skills aside from youtube as I haven't transfered anything to the phone yet.
Get the films now guys, you have 30 days to watch them, so stock them up! (once you have started watching, you have 48 hours to finish watching though).
Files are around 1.5GB !
Getting Bad Boys 2 as I type

From the 2 I've had a quick look at, they are very poor. Almost vhs like. Disappointing, glad I only paid 50p for them!

Thought they were just 5p each?
Shouldn't it just be 10p in total then?
I think that the video is only optimized for qHD screen (watch originally launched on the Sensation)
HTC need to update it...
So what was the other film you DL'd?

I paid 0.5kr (danish) for mine each. Strangely swiftkey x auto corrects that to 50p... Didnt notice it when posting it seems.
Other one I downloaded is snatch,equally poor quality for a screen such as this. Both had subs hardcoded as well.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yep, I'm giving it a go.
I'm starting with hostel for 5p
I've never rented a digital film on google play movies, but I did notice my pre-installed HTC Watch had a 5p discount, so thought I'd give it a go.
If the quality is good, I'll give a few others a go.
Even if I rented 5 films, doubt I'll notice 25p coming out of my bank lol
I love hostel, but I've not even seen paranormal activity 3 or transformers 3 - so for 10p, not bad.
I noticed google play movies havnt got any easter sale unlike HTC watch.
Like I said, it's all new to me - as I'm a Netflix user, renting films isn't something I've ever done digitally.

I just bought one for that price on eBay....I guess it isn't you though as you said you already sold it. It might take a few days as the seller is using 2nd class. I would have paid a few quid more to bump that up, but looking forward to receiving it
send me a pm if you are selling and willing to send
I'll take one for £70 and pay for shipping.

Whoever has it, can you do a quick review.
There are several questions floating around such as
1) Does it need to be permanently plugged in
2) How quick does the stream buffer
3) Any input lag for gaming
Any info would be good. I get my soon (hopefully) via a P4U preorder, so will review once I have it.

I bought one off eBay from someone who didn't want their P4U one. I contacted them and said I would pay extra for it to be special delivery so that I would get it before the bank holiday weekend. So I should have it tomorrow, and will give a report on things like lag etc shortly.
Does it run on batteries? If yes how long can one lasts?

The device is powered by micro USB. Have to use supplied mains charger though as doesn't seem to want to rake power from tv USB port.
Seems to link up ok.
Playing netflix works quite well, voices in sync etc. Playing videos that have been recorded by the phone are a complete disaster though. No sound sync video plays fast and slow sometimes no sound. The rest of the functions seem to work as expected though.

I've had one enquiry regarding the one I'm selling. Got it listed at £75+P&P on eBay atm. If anyone's interested, let me know! Would rather not go through eBay as they'll want a cut! UK Verified on Paypal.

I personally think that any 720p anime look extremely good on the HOX screen , preferably one with bright colors.
Yeah anything animated whether its CGI or Anime would most definitely do the trick. A photo I took of my back yard seemed to capture ridiculously lush bright greenery which does 2 jobs of showing off how nice the screen is and how good the camera is.
I always watch anime along the way to work.
I tend to just find videos on YouTube which I know have 720p available. I play paintball, so I often use youtu[dot]be/UFmKIOTYWNs or youtu[dot]be/nCGMQC2wWn4 (not allowed to actually post links yet).
Note, there is dubstep-ish music in these videos. If you don't like dubstep, don't open the links (just fair warning!). There are also some short scenes between cuts of paintball footage that are a little edgy, eg there's a very short clip of a pole dancer (fully clothed at least) in the second video.
I like to use these videos because 1) 720p is available, 2) it's a video of something I do, 3) the videos not only show off the screen's resolution but also do a pretty good job showcasing the colours and contrast.
Despicable Me in 720p looks brilliant.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
^ Yes what a perfect example. http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php as well.
To be fair, despicable me looks great on anything.
I can't remember any stand out films that look good, they all do. But as for pictures, the HTC wallpapers look great and make the screen stand out to people.

dont know if my next phone would be a HTC but whatever they will do next it will be big....specially with 1080p displays now looking like to be the next trend this year...
I'm going to be getting a new phone in April. I think it's best to see how the S4 holds up against the Tegra 4 and other new SoCs before making the decision.
I agree that the SLCd3 screen looks great. I love the screen on my One X so if I can get that but with more pixels I will be very happy.

Get the Sony experia z.
Killer specs and waterproof.
I saw a video comparison between both screens xperia Z and Droid DNA(same screen as Butterfly) and the blacks/colors were much deeper on the HTC screen.
The xperia Z looked nice but the blacks were like on a SLCD1 screen
I don't know, I mean I will definitely buy a new phone if the HOX doesn't get s-off within the next couple of months. So for my next phone I'll make a deep research about how open its system is.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No more HTC's for me, plus the battery on the Butterfly J is completely underpowered! 2020mah when it's putting out 440ppi on bright SLCD3 display??! It's the HOX / 1800mah all over again! I guess the Butterfly J+ will pack a 2500mah...might wait for that lol.
The Xperia Z is a fine looking lady but the Sony Android skin always looks laggy to me and I hate the viewing angles of Sony screens, the Xperia T only needs to be tilted a few degrees and it's unreadable!
SD card and user removable battery next for me, I'll see how the Samsung S4 turns out, the 5 Octa processes look great on paper!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm thinking of waiting to see how the SGS4 looks, or whatever they decide to call it. I know I swore I would never get another Sammy after the fiasco I had with my old SGS2, but I really miss having a removable battery and SD card. I am also considering the Xperia Z, too. Probably wait and see what the screen and rom development is like when it's released before I make a decision.

HTC will anounce their main flagships for 2013 at MWC next month my friend, the rumoured M7 is one of them
What do you think of the Lenovo K900?
that is one good looking phone.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Definitely wait. A bunch of high-end phones will be announced/released in the next few months. It's not like you need a new phone, you want one. So I'd say wait.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Id say wait too.
Remember when we got our HOX? Just months after that the plus version was released and it looks the same will happen with the butterfly as well.
In my view we should change phones every 1 1/2 or 2 years.Since we are in the trip of spending a lot for top notch smartphones its best to wait around to get something much much better than HOX rather than getting something slightly improved.But that's just me......
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
My upgrades due on my desire but as I've got me hox there isn't anything worth upgrading to now.. love me hox. Won't be getting another HTC though with their crappy s-off policy.
The Lenovo looks nice, or that waterproof thingy.... oooh too much to choose from.. (soon). If it wasn't for touchwiz I'd think about the s4.
Now an s4 with sense, wouldn't that be awesome?
I will wait for MWC 2013 then, I hope they will come out with a 12mp camera this time and 1080p on 4.7'' so I will wait to May as usual.
Droid DNA is already making iphone 5 retina eating the dust so a 4.7'' with 1080p will be...:silly:
Guys, why starting this thread in this HOX area? Why don't you put this in General discussions or Android General? Jeees....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Definitely wait. Gonna be better HTC phones with 1080p display and more importantly a bigger battery than the stingy 2020 mah battery in the butterfly.

Defo wait! There will be much better phones and a lot sooner than you think.
My One X is my first and last HTC, maybe when HTC gets NEXUS 5 I'll think about it.

I know that the HTC One was rated 1/10 by iFixit repair but for those who are curious about HTC One replacement parts, I've came across some.

I would love to be able to swap out my front top and bottom covers for the black ones. But I don't dare.
There's a guy on YouTube that has videos showing how to do it.
It's a lengthy process and fairly difficult, but he manages to do it many times and made a T-Mobile HTC one red.
