Im a note owner, Im pondering either to buy a new note or change to the HTC One X. I have tried to search on Youtube, but no review matched my will. ( Got some scratches on the screen, and that's why I'm willing to change )
The note has a real good battery life, lasts a Full day with Medium/Med-High usage ) - But it does have an Over-Heat issue, whatever game you play? It will start heating from Minute 2 !
From your experience HTC One X users, can you give me any advice? How's life with HTC One X ? The Note is a really nice device ofcourse with it's own disadvantages
Unremovable battery is not an issue at all to me, but just wondering what happens if something freezes out while flashing or while using? How can we go back to point 0? On samsung simply, unplug/plug the battery. My only concern.
P.S : Not starting a Brand Fight like on other threads I've seen lol
i love mine, and i truly believe that if you get a perfectly fine one then its one of the best handsets you could own, it does burn hot sometimes when playing the heavier games, but its nothing to worry about really
the phone itself is hard coded to shut down after holding the power button for about 10 seconds, and it will always do this no matter whats happening on the device
overall, i prefer it to the note, camera fantastic and the tegra 3 games are a blast, even if gamesloft haven't given it quite the support that is should have, but that apparently all coming soon

Thanks for your reply! And Uh finally some words that makes me feel better about the Unremovable Battery thingy - Hoping to hear some more opinions
i bought mine today and i'm fully satisfied! it's fantastic! sure, it's not perfect: i can't say nothing about battery yet but i prefear removable one, no s-off yet, no sd... but 32gb and cloud can last me, and it's f**king hot when i'm play games (but it's good for winter )!
i love design and form factor... i think it's one of the most beautiful smartphone ever. i hope nvidia will release source soon.
when i first got the device, its the BOMB! i love ONE X! about the heating issue, i had it before when everything is still STOCK, but right now, after installing latest ROM (i use CHARMELEON & franco r-9 kernel), the issue has been resolved... even if i play heavy games, like SHADOWGUN THD, the heat is within normal, also the battery life is much better!
i went from a note to the one x. i would prefer a smaller screen size say 4.5", but it fits better for me with 1 handed use. I miss the awesome battery life I had on my galaxy note as battery life isn't too good right now.
I want to buy HTC One X
Hi guys, I have a question or few questions.
I want to buy the HTC One X(International) one month before my contract expires because I want to play with it before I go to AT&T. so here are my questions.
1. Can I root my HTC One X without sim card and no carrier contract?
2. Can I also install or flash custom rom without sim card and no carroir contract?
The reason that I ask these questions, it is because I am a noob for rooting and flashing roms. I have never done these stuffs before, but I am currently researching a lot.
That is why I want to know the answers to these question before I buy it.
Thanks for the helps guys, I really appreciate your answers

Its a smartphone, sure you can do all that without SIM
So this past month I have spent One X-less. I live in the US and got my One X April 10 and loved it dearly. It's serial was SH23. Long story short, I started having an issue where the screen wouldn't display anything but it was still responsive to touch. I opened a ticket with HTC and they took it in under the Global Warranty.
Just a heads up to any other US users out there with an T3 One X, it's 20 bucks plus shipping just for them to look at it for you. Plus, if they need to order parts it takes a lot longer than their 7-10 business days. I sent my device in on April 20, and today ( 7 JUN ) I just now got my tracking number for them sending me a One X back.
Also, FIGHT TO KEEP YOUR INTERNATIONAL VERSION. They are going to tell you that they can ONLY send you back a US Version. That is simply not true. If anyone is in this situation, PM me and I will give you the contact number to RMA Escalations and the name of the Public Relations manager you need to ask for.
Back to my story, I ended up with a bad motherboard according to HTC's subsidized repair center in Buffalo, NY. It was unlocked through HTC Dev and had been through a few flashes and kernels.
This could be good news because they did not find me at fault and they're sending me a replacement device under S/N HT245. Even though I only started experiencing that issue after flashing an early release of a kernel.
This may just be a horror story, but it can easily happen to you. HTC isn't too fond of us having the One X here in America because it forces them to order parts for 2 different phones.
If anyone is having any issues in the US with their T3 One X, drop me a PM.
in Europe the one xl is about e100 more expensive than the one x

I wouldnt switch to the XL if they paid me 200e
T3 is the best thing about this device
the reason why the xl is,more expensive is the troubled 28nm production and the s4 shortage

I would have, I even thought about having the One XL shipped from Australia but then I decided against it because I didn't want to end up with an expensive device only to come to the conclusion it might be incompatible with the european gsm, edge 3g hdspa(+) networks. I gave the One S to my GF, it is just a much smoother more responsive device which can easily last 3 days on battery.

i give you the battery, as for smoothness and speed, they match once you optimize your HOX
stock kernel + ultra rosie + supercharger, my HOX is liquid smooth minus the occasional micro stutter
you all keep forgetting the s4 is overkill on the One S since it runs @ QHD
not the case @720p the T3 GPU beats it at this density
as for T3 games there is no match what so ever
its simple for gamers the T3 version is "devine"

But if you optimize the one s it will be even smoother, point is it's a lot smoother and more responsive out of the box than the hox

both your 2nd n 3rd argument are dead wrong
long story to prove it for u but its all in the mega thread
chainfire can not enable quad optimized games like shadowgun n it rarely works bug free
the gpu is not a match the t3 has much more capable pixel shaders and no adreno 225 doesn't win the benches only a few

The one xl should work in Europe I'm from Australia and sent my cousin a one xl in Belgium
I'd have to agree with hamdir on the t3 and gaming you can't beat it
I only bought the one xl because its one of the few proper phones in Australia with LTE
Yo hamdir if you see this love your Rosie mod work bro! Rosie's an integral part of my phone, can't go back using without it lol

Slightly off topic...
Anyways, update:
I recieved A One X back today (8 JUN). I sent in a grey one and they sent me back a white. Also, after looking it over of course there's a dim dead pixel too :/ Also was promised the WWE and mine is running the European Firmware.
This may seem like I'm complaining, but actually I feel like I came out on top on this one. It's a refurb clearly, but I don't see any orange spots like my grey one had and this one has the blue tint over the yellow. No gaps or flex or ripples or creaking. Plus it's unlocked (SIM not S-Off :/) No bloat like my WWE had also when I bought my One X white was more expensive than grey.
So it seems like they've fixed the initial problems people were having. Again though, I cant say I recommend anyone in the US sending in their phone unless it's dire. They're going to try and $#%! you.
May I ask you OP something?
My HOX also had the same issue on the screen not lightning up, but with touch still working. You said it was a motherboard issue? HTC support here in Norway did not know anything about the issue, nor my carrier company whom I bought the phone from.
Im still currently waiting for my replacement, so I havent heard anything from the store that is supposed to get my phone fixed or what the issue is.
Mine was running all stock, not unlocked with a HT23 serial (I think).
Best regards

That's what NA told me at least. I didn't send mine to a carrier though, I sent it directly to HTC. From what I gathered from my conversations with various support staff is that they replaced the screen itself first but that didn't fix the issue so they were going to replace the motherboard. However the price of the motherboard is probably more expensive than just sending me a replacement phone and international HOX aren't readily availible in North America so that's how I got the replacement device. Odd that we had a similar serial number though, minus the fact that my old one was a China made and yours a Taiwan.

Hi,
I plan to buy XL instead of HOX. (I am in Singapore, Singtel offers HOX and XL)
i have 2 questions:
1. Can I apply all the modifications intended for HOX to XL?
2. If no, I dont see any forum for XL, Do you recommend to get HOX instead?
I think XL has LTE, so the ROMs of HOX will not fit and probably rooting is not the same because the XL is in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
The AT&T One X forum is for the phone internationally known as the One XL. The One XL has different hardware and radios, so none of the stuff made for the One X will be compatible.
It was pretty stupid of AT&T (and HTC) to call the AT&T version One X. AT&T One X is clearly a OneXL variant (they are not identical). HTC One X (the global one) is completely different hardware.
So there are 3 phones, 2 very similar (dualcores, AT&T and One XL) and 1 completely diff (quad-core tegra3).
One XL vs AT&T One X(L).
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4614&idPhone2=4572
As per your original question, if modifications are very important to you, do first look in "AT&T One X/OneXL" forum and see how the rom scene looks over there. From rom development standpoint, international OneX is better bet but personal opinion, One XL is better phone (sadly not available here in Norway).

One XL released much later, but I agree
There were rumours about XL but I didn't think it would come that fast and would had wait for it.
And its the same story with other phones, like Galaxy S3. AT&T version is a dual-core qualcomm s4 based instead of a quadcore. What the hell is wrong with this carrier?
A few years ago htc/samsung renamed their phones for usa, with different look/exterior but same hardware (desire/droid incredible, hero/eris, sensation/amaze/vivid, galaxy s/vibrant/fascinate etc).
And now they go out of their way to have different hardware that looks identical with exact same name..
Thanks.
I guess I better choose HOX over XL.
4G is new in this area,
and development of XL pretty slow and boring, i think.
I posted same question in AT&T forum, till now nobody reply and give the difference.
I found many active roms developer here.
Roms are lovelier here, and more to choose from.
I read more problems, than fixes and good news over there.
no i dont think so,
both have different specs..
btw is it out yet the XL in singapore?how much did it cost?
I have few clarifications to help me decide if a certain rom (or rooting instruction) is applicable to my phone.
(because I dont know if HOX from ATT is applicable to XL from Singtel.)
Lets say I want to do rooting or install custom rom;
What are the BASIC criteria in order for me to say that this rom (or rooting instruction) is applicable to my phone and it wont brick it (if it may brick it)?
What should I check first?
. cpu type? (dual core, quad core?, S4, tegra? where can I find this specs in my phone)
. Firmware version? (1.72, 1.85, 1.?? How do I check again)
. radio??
AFAIK radio is different between ATT and XL (international),
but is ROM still applicable on both even if radio is different?
What the hell/difference of Rogers HTC one X by the way?
I appreciate the response.
General consensus from reviews on the web say XL or Snapdragon One X are faster than Tegra One Xs and are better at battery life.
Community of the S4 seems growing every day I am sure it will have plenty of development, already it has most of the same tweaks as with Tegra ones.
I also was undecided as both work on my country. However, I decided for the Tegra one due to:
1. Easier bootloader unlocking vs AT&T One X
2. Cheaper than imported Rogers/Telus unlocked One X
3. Tegra Zone games: I am not a gamer but I am enjoying the quality of Tegra games
4. Resale value: yes in my country most people will prefer a QuadCore 32 MB than a Dual Core 16 MB phone . They dont know the story behind it unless they are geeks so resale value will hold over time vs SGS3.

AT&T (and every other LTE carrier) has to use dual core s4 versions of CPU because quad core exynos and tegra3 dont support LTE.
They are now using different hardware with exact same names probably to avoid customer confusion and having 10 variants of the same phone.

Excellent point, and yes I believe you are right. However I doubt having 2 different hardwares with same name is any less confusing.

This is true to an extent. I believe tegra does support lte but it requires a separate modem whereas with the s4 the LTE modem is part of the SoC already.
Tbh I would prefer the s4 chip as it rapes the tegra in most benchmarks and battery is better. Htc and nvidia are full of crap, the companion core and all the other "battery saving" tweaks htc implemented (like completely breaking multitasking) are pointless as they just try to make up for the fact htc short changed us with the size of the battery in the HOX. The battery life still sucks.. They should have just put a bigger battery in in the first place a la galaxy s3.. /rant

Hi guys and girls
I lost access to my old XDA account but I decided to make a new one so here I am.
I used to be very active in the HTC Wildfire section but my contract with Three ran out so it's time for upgrading my device and I have chosen to go with a Virgin Mobile contract that includes the HTC One V Device.
So what I am basically asking is after viewing some reviews for myself I would like to know the following...
1) Is the HTC One V a smooth, fast and reliable device with it's stock ROM?
2) Is the device up to standards for example is it as good as you thought it would be?
3) Do you personally think that the HTC One V is better than the HTC Wildfire and if so why?
Also I have seen some videos on YouTube and some people were saying that the device has a battery that cannot be detached and others were showing the device with a detachable battery so are there two different versions of the same phone? :S
Thanks guys

1) Yes mine is very quick even with the stock rom. I've since rooted it and installed CM9 but that was not because of performance/reliability problems stock but rather because I wanted more options available to me
2) Mine is so much better than I thought. It just works. Of course I came from an Optimus V so it's definitely a big improvement.
3) Everything I've heard says this thing beats the Wildfire out of the water!
I should note that the One V (among other phones) is 20% off at virginmobileusa.com right now. I paid full boat for mine now I wish I had waited a few weeks! Oh well no complaints.
Mine does NOT have a detachable battery but if you hold the power button down for ten seconds it forces it to power off.
Yes,
I recently moved from a desire,.
The Desire is very similar in specs to the One V, but:
* much brighter screen
* no messing with data2sd, or other scripts. Given the nand size of the V I reinstalled all the same 92 apps as my desire, room for way more. And way faster and smoother as everything is on the nand. I believe this will apply to you as well coming from the wildfire.
*having the latest and greatest is awesome. (ics and sense 4.0) On my desire I had all the "smooth rosie" tweaks I could find to flatten 3d effects etc. Speed was more important to me. Because of this I do NOT mind that we are missing 3d effects that the S and X have.
Make the move Dude, you'll Love this phone if you liked the wildfire.

I just got it last friday and I love it.
Better than My nexus S and that lame zte avail.
I understand you are not first to an android phone. So to answer your 3rd question first - Wildfire is NOT a competition for One V (in all regards). And question 2, yes it is better than what I thought it would be. and finally to question 1. It will surely depend on what you intend to do with the phone. If you are looking to buy an everyday phone, One V will be a good option (I am on stock ROM)
So, after years of loving my trusty HD2, I finally decided to upgrade to something new, and I've gotten myself an HTX One X+.
After doing quite a lot of reading here I *think* I have a grip on things (more or less) but would appreciate some confirmation (or, of course, please correct me if I'm wrong)...
The one x+ is pretty much the same thing as the quad core one x and as I understand it, I can...
Sim unlock using one of the many online services to get a code
Get a semi s-off from htcdev that will allow me to install clockwork recovery and custom roms
get root through either a custom rom or the method described here in the forums
And that's pretty much it until a complete s-off method is found
Does that sound about right or am I missing something?
I've spent a lot of time reading but these things are not always clear to me so I thought it safer to ask before trying anything.
Any advice or input is appreciated. thanks!
one x+ is more advanced than one x...
one x+
1.7ghz processor(upgrade from dual core chip)
(internal storage)*2 of one x(64 GB)
2100mAh battery

Sounds about right.
