If you really like this phone post it here, and show your love. For those of you that purchased this phone and have minimal to no bugs post what you like about this phone. This thread should not turn into A hate or a thread on whats wrong. The goal here is to see how many of you got phones that worked well like most of the reviews that are out there save a few.
Don't get it twisted either this is not meant to discredit any bugs that are manifesting out there, but to factually find out if there are more non issue happy ONE X users over the bug plagued users. Soooooo....if you have this phone and it works well for you post your experiences here. All of you that have bugs keep it in the bugs thread please.
Again this thread is just to find out if there are more happier users than bugged users lol
Great thread.
I love this phone, from the 4.7" screen that looks like the pixels were painted on by Pablo Picasso himself to the micro drilled speaker grille.
My heart melts when the mighty beats icon flashes up in all its red glory whilst firing up Spotify, the smooth scrolling and lighting fast response from any app it gets a sniff of.
When I pick this bad boy up it doesn't need my gentle touch to open up but so familiar are we that it simply unlocks like an old friend opens his door when you come calling by....and I call by often.
We were meant to be together, I am my One X and my One X is me.

My first android device was the original Desire (always remained original with the official rom i.e. never rooted), secondly owned a SGS (10 months) now it feels like back to home btw with the SGS I have tested many custom roms, gingerbread and ICS AOSP roms, MIUI, CM7, CM9 etc etc
Android + Sense, especially the Sense on One-X is a perfect mixture. I really feel the quality when it is in my hand, convenience and safety in one place, fast, smooth and responsive. Absolutely the best android experience till today.
The screen Man! Its amazing!!!!
Thread starter, you do realise a lot of satisfied users are happily enjoying their one x and didn't bother to look into this thread right? I don't think doing a comparison this way is accurate.
Personally I have a problem free one x for the past 9 days. I love the way sense was built for our convenience at the same time look stylish. All came out of the box rather than some UI that looks so "iphone" boring. Glad that the battery life is more than enough as my daily driver. All device comes with their pro and cons. For the One X, what more could you ask for?

It very well may not be However; this is a beginning. I know the reviews mostly were great so now I want to hear from people that are happy, and using this phone as opposed to the bug complain thread. This way when I talk about possibly wanting it I wont hear about all the unhappy XDA users. I can then say that there are plenty of happy users, and if that wont happen , maybe I should look to purchase something else. I watch this forum anticipating the Sprint EVO ONE 4G LTE.lol
100 views 6 replies man is this all the One X love there is?
Loving this screen, SoundHound integration, cameras shutter speed, sound quality and volume of it.
In first few hours couldnt bare how this device feels comparing with SGS2 which is feels much slicker but now kind of like bit "full" hand feel of OneX. Finish is lovely and this handset is incredibly light for it's size.
only thing I have problems with is the power button on top... but I guess that will go away after a while.
Great thread . My God the sheer negativity in this forum regarding the ONEX made me almost not buy it , thank God I ignored you people
best phone I ever had .. and I owned Iphone 4S , Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy Nexus _ which I still use _ ..
I have more bugs in this phone than any other phone I have ever seen or had. Its a freagin basket case and by far my favorite phone ever.

I must tell you this is why I posted this thread...so much negativity. I understand about the bugs and things but damn......seems to me that it's turned into something else.
I don't want any haters or bug posting issues here I want just love for a possibly great device for people to see that it's not that bad of a device if this thread turns out the way I hope. If not then the phone must really be bad if people can't support the phone they bought that many are tearing down.

Coming from my trusty HD2 which has served me great the last 2.5 years the One X is a major leap forward amazingly fast!! However I got a faulty unit with broken camera but that does not break my love for this device. Apart from the camera it was perfect. Smooth browsing, lag free gaming and battery life.. well that will be better and better with the coming updates
Now I'm patiently waiting for my new device and just can't wait to hold it again.

2012 should be an interesting year, I think the 1X is the first of the next gen smart/super phones!

Short answer,
Hardware: Yes
Software: Yes
Long answer,
Hardware: HTC is getting enough PR about One X faults right now that they'll most likely at least quietly tweak the manufacturing process. If the PR gets louder, they may come clean, but that is unlikely unless issues are extremely widespread.
Software: Every single phone get's better firmware/OS over time, happens with most technology related products. The development forums are already fairly active, they'll be packed in 6 months time.
HTC have done themselves no favour by releasing a ridiculously embarrassing firmware (any firmware from a massive corporation where a main app/driver related to power is in the wrong folder is simply unforgivable). The hardware side of things looks to be disappointing, early adopters are always in my mind real testers, as these days so many flaws seem to escape Q&A, some of which you'd wonder if a phone was even tested. However the hardware flaws don't seem to yet fall under a category of anything out of the ordinary for a new product launch these days.
i remember this happened with original desire and it got better so answer is yes it will

Hardware changes rapidly and so does software. People were saying the exact same thing about dual core / quad core on computers and now it's at the point where most new applications *need* multicore CPUs in order to function.
My honest opinion would be that the nexus doesnt really beat it now and if you got that, within 6 months you would be regretting it as the nexus would be lagging behind specs wise.
To me the battery life seems to depend on the person. I came from the Galaxy S2 and the HTC beats it hands down, some people are reporting otherwise.
As for better camera, the HTC`s is probably the best on the market at the minute.

Galaxy nexus is not smoother, even though HTC isn't completely smooth when running large widgits. (Run a live wallpaper on the Galaxy Nexus and watch it crumble to its knees due to its very poor GPU)
Better camera? - you cannot be serious!
Better battery life? - the galaxy nexus doesn't even stack up to the SGS2 regarding battery life, & I've done many personal battery tests comparing to my SGS2 , and the HTC ONe X has a better battery life (even with 1.26) when compared to the SGS2.

just about every comparison i have seen the camera gets beaten by a lot of phones on the market.. Hardly seen one that says x one is the best.
But its what the real people say not the reviewers.
Thanks for the advice peeps, still swaying towards the one x even though the reviews have not been as good as expected.
There will be light at the end of the tunnel...
shedboy,
All phones will have a period to iron out the bugs and glitches. If your an early adopter than you will be a tester for HTC as I am for sure they read XDA for user experience. In 3-6 months time, new firmware will bring the HOX to a stable state. Patience wil get you a long way...

Thanks for that, it makes sence.
Just want to be really sure, after all i will have it for 2 years. I am coming from a desire.
How the hell can HTC mess up by putting the battery file in the wrong folder ? its dose not fill me up with confidence .
When you get a device at when it releases you're tend to have bugs but since HTC giving so much importance to One series you can see lot of updates happening over time. I'm sure HTC is capable of bring a really stable firmware in future. When I say future I mean maybe in 3 or 4 months.
Regular apps doesn't need Quad Core but new generation games do. nVidia is already making Game developers to design games that take advantage of the Quad Core so it's not in future it has already started. We have a strong hardware we just need some work on drivers and firmware which is fixable.

Where on earth did you get this information from? It's all wrong!
I upgraded from the Nexus to the One X and the One X is better in every way.
Seriously, the Nexus's camera is absolutely terrible, the stock firmware is laggy and the battery life sucks. It also feels cheap and the back battery cover is really flimsy. The only goood thing about it is that it's a "Nexus" device, so dev support is very good for it.
No offense, but you'd have to be incredibly stupid to get the Nexus.

i simply Google htc x v nexus and 3 of the videos i watched the nexus came out on top.
anyway. i have decided. HTC one x for me Just have to wait until the 17th
Probably Yes, and the devs at XDA will surely find a way to make it perform better.
But now, Software wise The Galaxy Nexus is still better than the One X. It performs better in almost all software aspects. Since it was the device ICS was specifically designed for.

I would say definitaly!
I've had both. If the one x is kept up to date by HTC which I expect it will. The one x is MUCH better hardware wise. Sense took some getting used to but u can always root and stick a special Rom and stay more up to date that way if HTC falls by the way side. This phone is beautiful in every way. My favorite part is the way the front glass is smooth all the way to the edge of the phone. If you rub your hands across it u get this buttery smooth feel to it and its the only phone like it. They did a wonderful job making it feel like such a premium device.

This device is my first android phone and its sweet! I was hesitant to switch to android because of the lagging experience that I've notice with my friends phone. Thanks to Tegra 3 Quad core everything works flawlessly.
Mine is in excellent condition had it over 2 weeks now no problems that wont be fixed hopefully soon. The only issue is that I'm still on old software Asia WWE 1.28.707.10 Battery life is good (I only use partial charges) read the thread on li-po batteries I made, only let phone drain once or twice to calibrate then charge as you want, this is according to research which seems to be working fine for me. I've been waiting until its about half drained. Battery gets about 2 days with 5+ hours screen on time.

The only problems I have can be fixed, I just need that update because of the storage issue and sometimes Wi-Fi issue. Phone is excellent cosmetic condition, best phone I've ever used and it will last me 2 years I don't see screens getting much better than this, Maybe true 3D. Its like the Icons are coming out at me on my screen, like they are just floating on top. I like it better than my New IPad screen TBH.

Thanks guys. I'm so happy now. It will be here on Wednesday!
So we all know the news of the new nexus, the 16gb costs the same as the HTC one x if I sell mine. All of the internal specs seem great I'm not bothered about sd card, non removable and lte. I just wanted to know is anyone else was buying it by trading their hox in, I just care to know if the camera quality, screen quality, DAC are better then the hox because these are the main reasons why I would buy it since the hox has bad output speaker, battery life, overheats and I don't what a phone with a worser screen then my current or I'll feel like I've downgraded instead.
The camera that is used is a Sony bsi camera in the nexus 4, which is the same as the iPhone 5's. I do like the hox camera but it is behind the iPhone 5, s3 and lumia 920 in terms of quality and colour reproduction. I was watching the verge video which stated that one of the main people behind the nexus 4 said they spent a lot of time making it good at low light shoots which the hox suffers in. The one x+ is good too but I don't like the 40nm CPU and the material used as it gets dirty to easily. So what do you lot think is it worth the trade or are you happy with the hox?

I've only ever had HTC android phones (Hero>Desire HD>Sensation>EVO 3D>One X), before that I was using HTC windows phones, but I'm very tempted.
I am also so very tempted to do this, I really like the Nexus devices and I've had it with HTC !!
How would you sell yours? Ebay? And then purchase the Nexus 4?
What happens if I've got 16 months of a 2 year contract left? Could I just sell the HOX, buy the Nexus 4 and then pay the contract for the minutes? etc?
Yeah I'm trading...I think..well till I read the reviews
Partly due to aosp. Nice looking.
I'm not adding much to trade though.they can jog on

I'm going to try Gumtree first, then eBay then buy a N4 with the money.
You can put your sim into any unlocked phone and continue paying your bill as normal.
Hmm I'm happy with my HOX but I want the latest and greatest. The major selling point is that it is a nexus device.
I could recycle my HOX for £195 that wouldn't leave me far off the money needed, but I'm not sure its worth it.
My one X does everything I could possibly want at the moment.
If the N4 had LTE capability, maybe I would be completely swayed.

I'm broke, but selling my HOX should cover most of the cost
I absolutely love my HTC One X, it's a great machine,
but I'm unhappy what is happening in this device section.
People are ignoring forum rules, no respect among each other, moaning about the device, comparing it with other manufacturers and so on.
Jelly Bean rocks on HTC One X, battery live is awesome and the rom flies.
I've see the Nexus 4 video but I don't like the design of the machine and the OS has some new stuff but not so impresive to my opinion.
Anyway if I sell my HTC One X, I'm going back to Microsoft, the HTC 8x or the Nokia 9200 are looking great.
I still doubt to choose between those two phones because the Nokia has a Carl Zeiss lens but also the HTC 8x seems to have a amazing camera with new technology.
So probably one of those machines will be my next phone.
Shame to hear that Leo.
Hope you can stay with your One X and also you can get a W8

im with you buddy..selling my phone and going for the Nexus 4...will be my first Nexus so looking forward to it...just need to sell this bad boy first though
For me HOX is amazing phone. Solid in hand, looks amazing. I really do not understand why battery life is bad .. i am having 48h with daily use.. at some point even more. With that kind a battery and stock rom 2days+ is great, isn't it? 3~5% battery loss in deep sleep (night time) 8~10h.
Agree that Nexus 4 should be good, better than HOX performance/camera wise. Still like the looks of HOX more than N4.
For a quad core beast... what do you think?
The previous single core phones I owned even couldn't make a full day without charging.

On the Nexus 4, whites aren't white, more like very soft gray.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and am thinking of switching to a One X. Not sold yet, though, because of the device's speed and Android's ugly apps. Thinking of iPhone 5 (but am not rich so can't afford it) and Lumia 920 (same).
