Get the X now?

Is it a good plan to get the X now? It seems many people are having problems with the X atm. Was the tegra failure? I really want to use Android revolution HD so One S is out of the question.

EDIT: Thanks for all replies, I now realised that this is very good phone and will go for it very soon

my phone is running just great..can't tell you any problems as i don't have any!

Most of the complaints you're seeing right now about the phone are the people itself. I haven't had any problems with my phone, absolutely love it and running ARHD on it.

And don't forget that a couple of samsung spies are among us, let you think they changed 6 or 8 times their One X because always faulty.
My poll showed 1/3 of One X have flickering bug, and many people with non-flickering screens are not voting, so let say you have 20% chance of having a flickering on grey screen and 10% of having flex (the other poll)
Just try the phone before buying

100% of people with a faulty phone will join a forum to research and complain about it.
1% of people without faults will join a forum to tell everyone how good their phone is.

lol i find this samsung spy thing really funny.
I'm on the 4th device now, still got that damn flickering, wouldn't mind being a 'spy' as i'd probably make a lot better wage than i'm on now.
however I'm just a perfectionist, and i'm not going to accept a device that isn't 100% (hardware-wise) working perfectly.

Yes of course, people who have no problems won't post on every topic but those with problems will Thanks for replies, I will get the One X

Yes me too, just have to get rid of Sensation before

the samsung spies theory is ridiculous. I'm awaiting my second device and if it has screen backlight flickering I WILL write that it has backlight flickering and I WILL change it again. Most people don't even look for flaws as they love to spend money for the sake of spending money just to show off that they have a new expensive gadget or like apple fans or religious people they wouldn't dare to criticize their deity. I don't care about status at all, I'm only interested in having a 100% flawless phone and I am fully allowed to expect that with a phone at this price.

My only problem with HOX is the darn battery witch drops by several % every minutes when in use.
(Got it on monday)

Don't worry dude!
It's same with all the HTC I had (Nexus1,DHD and Sensation)
Playing games or watching videos will deplete battery in no time, the screen is a power monster

They may not work for Samsung but people will come on other brand forums to give the other product a bad name. I used to use a PC forum and any thread about AMD always got derailed by people going on about how you should use Intel instead or Apple if you used Windows.

Samsung phones are not trouble free..

Go to Samsung service center ad you will come to know how many hardware issues, screen issues and heating issues Samsung customers are facing. People are spending their hard earned money on their favorite gadgets.. don't missguide them just to prove your brand loyalty..

I wish everyone would make a post like this in General before they buy one so that we can really turn this section into a clusterfuck of pointless topics.

as per the poll on the Q&A section goes, it looks pretty grim - 1 outta 3 have complained that their devices have flickering problems - imho the number will worsen with time as maybe not all of them have started heavily using the device and this issue seems to show up later on.
So - i would suggest not to buy it. I was going through the same confusion as you.
- and this thread should have been in the Q&A section as made obvious by the above poster

No problems
I have had one for a while now. It's on rooted t-mobile uk firmware, but I haven't had any problems. It's a nice thin phone with battery life a bit better than my desire had.

my first one had a dead pixel, little green dot only visible on black had no other issues, got a replacement and it's perfect; no yellow dot,screen flicker, flexing screen and so on.

If you get a good one then yes, it's a great phone for sure. Unfortunately I am waiting to get my 4th replacement on Monday.
Buying one now? Personally, if I knew what I know now, I'd probably wait a month until they have had chance to get through the initial stocks and fix the issues and get a software update out. Up to you though, if you go for it, hope you get a good one

I'd wait if iwas you. Htc really need to sort out the faulty units. Theres far to many of them!

Yea i'd wait a bit longer until they solve the problem because theres definitely a problem

My One X was just delivered via Fedex. I will be honest and tell you that I am a little worried.

Yes, I would get it beast phone

I've not had any of these so called faults. Screen is good, no flicker, no yellow, no lines. Battery life is as good as I expected for a huge screen, signal is better now after the 1.28 software upgrade.
Very happy.
I would suggest getting a sim free handset though rather than one branded by a network so any future updates you will get quicker.

HTC warranty service is a pain in the ass too.........guy I talked to was an idiot
Talked to him about screen flickering and battery problems, didn't sound like he cared one bit.
He put me on hold to figure out what to do I'm assuming and was just like......is the screen hot? I'm like uh yea, it hit 60 degrees celsius. He told me I was charging the battery wrong and it would lead to all these problems. In my head I was like wtf? is this guy on crack? He told me to refer to the manual and charge the lithium ion battery according to that. If I still had problems I would have to send it in to an HTC repair and wait 2-3 weeks.....**** that, he didn't even address the screen flickering.
Would I be able to get a full replacement from them instead of having to send it in for repair?

when i had a dead pixel i just took it back to o2 they gave me a new one on the spot , but they will most likely just replace it and still take 2-3 weeks.

I miss mine! Had to return it due to a weird screen surface issue
And to answer your question: Hell yeah! Buy it! I love it and I am confident that with updates and support from HTC and out Devs this phone will be a monster as it was meant to be.

Had One X more than couple of weeks? No problems?

Hi,
I know there are number of threads about the problems of HTC One X and sorry for creating another one.
But I want to know about people who has been using it for more than couple of weeks (because this problem comes after using it for a while) and have not had the wifi issue.
So if you have been using it for more than couple of weeks, could you please share your wifi experience and also the phone version number, which is the first five digits of the serial number (HTxx, SHxx), so we can see if this is a problem only found in earlier stock and whether HTC has fixed the problem
Update: I added a poll. If you can vote your choice we can all see how much of the HOX is actually giving problems.
Thank you.

Had my first one for 3 weeks before a yellow spot appeared and I had to return it. Wifi and everything else was fine. HT24.

I have the HT23 (since the release), and almost no problems so far.
I only have a rare issue of the phone booting when it's turned off while charging.

had my HOX since launch day. no problems!!
dropped it after two weeks and smashed the screen.
before dropping, the screen flickered a little. after repair, the screen flickered A LOT. to the point where whatever colour, brightness etc you could see it. software 1.29.xxx.11 fixed it - no flicker what so ever!!!

I also have a flawless one, no screen flicker,no yellow spots or anything

Wow.
I didnt expect to hear from so many positive HOX users since I have been consistently hearing about peoples complaints of the HOX.
Thank you for the reply guys. It would be very helpful if you can mention the HW version number too.

First one developed yellow spot after two weeks, this replacement has no problems (other than slightly weak BT compared to my old Xperia).
Also this replacement runs a lot cooler than my old one. I think the yellow spot is partially caused by overheating so I'm hopeful that this new one doesn't develop any.

I got my One X on launch day in the UK, and not had a single issue with it.
One thing to remember is that the vast majority of the public will not actively praise something, yet those with issues will criticize it.
I was once told by some PR guru that those who have a negative experience will tell around 15 people about it, those who have a positive one will only tell around 3. With the advent of the internet and social media those numbers have escalated.

I've had my One X for about a week now. No issues whatsoever.

Should i buy the one x?

Hello people I am an owner of HTC Desire S and time has come to retire my phone and upgrade.
I am seriously considering getting the ONE X so I have a couple of question that you proud owners of it can probably answer.
1.What are the things I should look out for when buying it?
2.What are the major problems you have with the device?
3.Is the white version out of the question due to getting easily dirty and scraches easily spoted?
Thanks in advance for you help

1) the batch number. i have got sh26 and its flawless. i heard before 25 some HOX had the wifi problem.
2) no major problems. at first i had battery life problem but now its all fine after flashing viper and faux.
3) i have the white version. i use a back part to protect my color. the case got totally yellow. cant tell much about whether the white hox will get dirty or not. my one is still milk white. although its protected.
go for it. you will never regret it.

Good choice. Just buy it

Hi mate. When images of the HOX were leaked last year, I was completely enamored by the device's design, and although the camera bump in the back spoiled it a bit, I still find the phonearvelous to behold. Not so much as a woman, but you get the point...
A's to your first question, by having a look around the forum, you'll soon discover 3 main issues with HOX models: Some screens appear to have yellow spots, some units have faulty WiFi and some appear to have sub-optimal batteries that tend to overheat and discharge quickly.
As to your second question, from my experience with a UK HT24 white HOX, I never encounters these problems. My screen is of the "warm" variety, I never had the temperature of the phone rise above 46 degrees Celsius, WiFi works perfectly, lags were noticeably before, a
nd now they've disapeared completely with the latest update. Battery life has also improved, plus live wallpapers work perfectly now. Ah the joy of staring at the cosmic abyss slithering below you on the HOX's magnificent TrueHD IPS screen!
And about the discoloration issues of the white models: I've never experienced any! The only incident I've ever seen involved a brown unit. I've never seen a picture of a discolored white model. White so becomes our HOX. I would never expect to buy a white colored phone, but on this phone it fits it perfectly! I take some care of it, however, mainly wiping the back occasionally with a cloth or tissue and I bought a cheap soft silicone case for it that fits it perfectly and prevents it from getting scratched. Just add a screen protector and that's all this phone needs!

Just FYI - I've had seriously problems with the audio (hissing and excessive line noise) on my One X, and I've seen plenty of other people report this same issue. HTC took my phone back to repair the issue but when it came back nothing had changed - same problem. I've back to my old Galaxy Nexus now cause I was getting migraine during long listening sessions.

Best phone I've ever had
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I used to have the Samsung galaxy s3, and I must say, it was noticeably faster and efficient (battery wise). But just received update from OTA which has eradicated lag from the One X, so that's not a problem. The phone is awesome, the design and just the effect you get when holding it - oh and the screen is hands down the best I have seen in my life - the ppi, brightness and just the way that the screen is not interrupted by the end of the phone, your finger just slides off. So to you, I would say get the One X! Its a fantastic quad-core Tegra 3 phone (which btw allows some awesome ps2 graphic games ... amazing)

I've owned both the Galaxy S3 and the One X. I've stayed with the One X....LOVE IT!!
Had a few bugs when it first came out, mine had some audio problems (popping and skipping). But with the 2.17 update it's working great now.
Mine hasn't had any of the Wifi problems.
Really didn't like the Touchwiz interface and the plasticky feel to the S3.
I'm really happy with the One X and I've always been a big fan of Sense UI.

Hi. I have had iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s, galaxy s2 and now HOX and it is the best I of all those (it was kind of lousy at software at the start , laggy and awful battery) but the recent upgrades have made it super smooth and very decent battery wise. Hands down has the best screen ever, easily beating the Galaxy S3 and beating the iphone 4s by a hair (better whites IMHO). The phone is super smooth, screen is AMAZING, gps works great, is stylish.
However, make sure you can easily return your phone in case some of these show up :
- Weak wifi signal, know production issue on early batches, it is a design flaw.
- Yellow spots on screen
- Flickering on screen
I think those are the most common issues you might face. If you think a return/exchange will be difficult, I would advise you buy the SHS3 or iphone 5.

What potential issues (that has not been mentioned already on the board) would you like to have mentioned to suffice your need?

True but with some devices there are issues what plague the entire model and I'd rather avoid phones which are bug happy.

Hi. I have had iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s, galaxy s2 and now HOX and it is the best I of all those (it was kind of lousy at software at the start , laggy and awful battery) but the recent upgrades have made it super smooth and very decent battery wise. Hands down has the best screen ever, easily beating the Galaxy S3 and beating the iphone 4s by a hair (better whites IMHO). The phone is super smooth, screen is AMAZING, gps works great, is stylish.
However, make sure you can easily return your phone in case some of these show up :
- Weak wifi signal, know production issue on early batches, it is a design flaw.
- Yellow spots on screen
- Flickering on screen
I think those are the most common issues you might face. If you think a return/exchange will be difficult, I would advise you buy the SHS3 or iphone 5.

Thank you very much for your lovely reply, the yellow spots and flickering wouldn't bother me that much but a weak-wifi would be a problem as I'd be using wi-fi a hell of a lot, however you mention it was in early batches so I would assume it wouldn't be the case in a newly purchased one but yeah warranty returns/exchanges would be fine so I could get them resolved fairly easy.
You might of just convinced me to buy a HTC One X

Wifi is normal, it weakens when you block the edge on top of the phone with your hand. Normally it is good

That's why I'm asking this question.
You will get the same answers as are already mentioned so many times.

I think all issues software wise have been fixed with the 2.17 update, the only thing that's left ,I mean if you develop the fault, is Wi-Fi signal for me it got weaker couple of metres from modem and the gap that the screen has where dust is gathering,I send it to repair , should get to repair center today, believe me or not I had 4 hoxes , all were faulty which pissed me off big time , so switched to gs3 but missed the hox after 1 month ,so I bought another one and guess what ? It has the issues mentioned above ,I like to think that I'm unlucky but I think the problems with hox are widespread and HTC should have done the descent thing and issue a recall

I see, I just didn't want a device with massive drop offs in wi-fi strength.

True, but it looks like I'm sold on the One X already.

The dust issue wouldn't be a problem at all for me, if it got severe enough I'd open it up myself and clean it out. I have a few spare Void stickers laying around but yeah a lot of fixes seemed to come with the 2.17 update by a lot of peoples feedback.
My next thing to find and decide is what tablet should I get? I might try my luck with a Windows 8 RT Tablet because the ASUS Transformer TF700 (Infinity) seems to have it's only array of issues which are really really putting me off, I already had a TF201 what was fault crazy.

I personally wished that i had bought an S3/Note2/nexus-phone now, latest JB Sense roms are only available for certain devices with specific CIDs, others with CIDS not on the list will have to wait for the official update.
Screen:
Brilliant, bright, clear & solid
me:
I run at the lowest setting to save battery -_-
I have a screen protector on mines after scratches showed up, so it doesn't feel as silky smooth.
Battery:
Poor.. with careful management you can get good results but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a top end device right?
me:
I carry an external usb charger now, only viable solution for days when you need to have your phone run all day and more.
Storage:
I can live with the ~28GB usable space but who doesn't want more? microsd would be awesome.
If my phone dies (my previous desire just started having the 7 vibrate problem/dead mobo problem) there's absolutely no easy way to recover the data.
Sending it off to HTC will only result in the device getting repaired/wiped + charge for having it rooted right?
me:
dropbox sync/regular backups
..what are the benefits of rooting again?

I dont have wifi problems since my router is on ground level and i live on seccond flor i still have 2 solid bars without speed drops, dont have dust issues too. But if you happen to have something like that trust me you wont be opening it since ih has unibody without screews. You must unglue it wich is not easy task. All that is covered in waranty if it does happen. And jellybean comes soon to and trust me it runns lot better than on s3 . since i have acces to both phones. And for tablets i must say , dont go for windows. Android is much better and i think apps are better.

No problem, good luck with it! It is an amazing phone, after 6 months of having it I would say it is the best one I have ever had. It takes amazing photos too.
I have discovered one thing with Android phones, you need to work a little to get the most of them, customize them the way you like, do a little research to optimize its speed and battery, nothing out of this world but thats why I always end up recommending the iphone to my non-techie friends and family. I remember how much I hated my SGS2 at first and how I could not let go of it before I sold it!
One last piece of advise with the HOX though, do get a case for it that protect the screen edges, I dropped mine and because the glass goes to the edges it broke easily and getting a replacement screen is very time consuming!

It is a stupid design flaw, I opened mine and repaired it in 10 min (the wifi antenna needs to be lifted up a little). However, I dont recommend doing that . I did it only as a last recourse as I am out of warranty and there is no HTC service center in my country.
Apparently this has been fixed on recent batches. However looks like the old damaged batches are still plentiful and are still being sold.

All those points are valid kenny.
I don't have a problem with storage as I only need it for photos and a little for music, heck I'd be fine with 8GB, this is huge for me.
Keeping the screen at low brightness (even at 0%) isn't a huge deal to me because the One X's screen seems to be quite a bit brighter than say the one on iPhone 4S (I remember seeing that in a tech article/YouTube video). Which means it'll still look beautiful regardless of how low you set the brightness (and upping it a bit when exposed to direct sunlight won't be a huge deal for the battery).
As for the battery - seeing as how this charming device wants you to keep using it - it leaves a lot to be desired:
The bad:
-it's non-removable; this fact alone scares me to this day...after a year or two it might become unusable and I'm not sure I'll be able to replace it anywhere in my country
-you won't get more than 4hrs screen-on time if you keep switching the apps and menus, browse the internet or play games
-when you know that the battery will seldom last over a day if you use the phone, you'll never feel a lot like gaming, which just halves the battery life
The good:
-reading on the One X, which is simply a lovely experience at 312 dpi, is quite possible for 6 hours while making a few calls and sending a few texts, and having your battery last through the day
-the stand-by time is impressive
-phone calls and music don't seem to use up a lot of juice on this phone at all
One more thing to note is that although this phone is a beauty without a match, it is slippery as hell and without a case, you're bound to drop it sooner or later, and then it will most likely shatter. Personally, I take the case off when I'm home and hold it carefully, and put it back on when I go outside.
