Is one X worth upgrade form desire HD?

I have had my htc desire hd for nearly 2 years and quite simply its the best phone I have ever owned. Everything more or less works well except GPS which is slow to get a lock. I am seriously considoring upgrading to the HTC one X. I bought the galaxy note but returned it after 1 week. Although tthe screen was outstanding, unfortunately I wasnt a fan of the interface and decided that having got used to htc I would stick with it.
Can someone post a review of the one X compared to a desire HD they may have owned. In particular in these critical areas:
1) Battery life
2) Browsing experience
3) general speed/lag issues
4) speed of GPS lock
Thanks

Having upgraded from a Desire HD:
1) Battery Life - A significant improvement but you will find this to be the case with most phones as the DHD battery life was especially poor.
2) Browsing experience - much faster rendering, increased screen estate helps too
3) general speed/lag issues - The phone feels much faster will less stuttering in sense.
4) speed of GPS lock - again much faster than the DHD and better GPS reception overall.
In addition to this the phone is so much lighter due to the materials in the case and the screen is a massive improvement it looks fantastic and will blow your socks off compared to the DHD.

Two words (DO IT)
You will not look back.
Much better in every way..........

I too have come from the Desire HD, and I can say - I thought the Desire HD was the best phone on the market until I got my One X.
Once you get your HTC One X you will see a massive improvement with the screen quality, size, weight and overall speed & quality of it in general.
It'll be the best phone you'll own to date.
Go for it.

One Xs screen is just gorgeous compared to the DHD

The DHD has the same battery life issues when it was first released.
this gets resolved over time with software and kernel updates.
Don't worry about the battery

Biggest upgrade would be the screen that would be the most noticeable. I went from DHD > SGS2 > HOX. And the speed.
The screen is just something you need to see! With the HD resolution it's far superior than the DHD screen.
Battery life will vary but generally it ranges from being poor to being good depending on usage and signal and such.
Go for it as long as you don't mind it has no removable battery and no microSD card slot. If those 2 issues are not important to you then upgrade without a doubt.

Have to agree with everyone else. Compared to literally all other phones, unless you see the One X screen you really don't know just how good it is. I was beyond pleasantly surprised, its stunning and really should be the benchmark for all screens in future.
As for the rest, the phones fast as you would expect, my battery life is absolutely fine as I only keep data on when I know I need it, otherwise its WiFi 100% of the time pretty much. I get well over a day's worth of battery doing this with 60% being on screen time playing games or web browsing.

Hello my friend,
I've had the Desire HD, changed for Sensation XE to finally end up with a One X.
1. Battery was improved but DHD battery either was much better with custom roms and kernels (I would recommend Revolution or Cyanogenmod);
2. Screen-wise it's so much more than Sensation's qHD not to mention the good old DHD. I'm flabbergasted
3. Nice touch, feeling and not heavy at all. In the hot summer days I would never ever want a heavy DHD in my jeans pockets again.
A real bummer it's the lack of memory card slot. Really HTC? I hate those guys for dropping that right now when the microsd cards prices went down.
Two chapters are not covered yet: GPS and audio quality (I'm a die hard lossless fan and I have the unbelievable Sennheiser ie8i headphones so if you're interested I'll keep you posted on this also).
P.S. In order to summarize my rant above: The DHD could be a WWII Panzer. Meanwhile HTC One X it's an UFO.

I had to go back to my DHD for a few days after using my HOX for a week. It was hard to believe that I used to think the DHD screen was crisp lol

Will loss of micro SD slot be a major problem? All my photos,videos,music are stored on it currently

No, as you can stick it all onto Dropbox

I upgraded from a DHD and I most say that the screen on one x completly outcompetes the DHD, big plus! Also I love the 25 gb dropbox space

yup dhd sucks compared. i've gotta use mine again now whilst the one x is off for repair.

Even with custom ROM & Kernel the DHD still feel sluggish sometimes. (Or perhaps partly because it was AOSP ICS ROM put together without HTC's help) That's never been a problem will my HOX so far, even if reviews say it's not as smooth as HOS or SGS3.
Battery life was better for me on DHD with custom kernels. Very much hope for something similar on HOX soon.
GPS and screen - HOX better in every way.
And the camera! Image Sense really is a joy to use.
Go for it!

Here I am again, on subject of gps and audio quality:
1. GPS reception its ultra fast and the good old DHD can do nothing in this area. I have full reception of 5-7 satellites in a matter of seconds at 1 meter from my window, several floors above me and tall building in front. There is simply no room for improvement left there.
2. Audio is top notch. I listen to lossless music (FLAC) on Power Amp with Sennheiser ie8i. A nice touch its that one could stop now the beats audio thingy that was sadly always on in the Sensation XE for instance. Ive read in reviews that only the S3 has a better/flatter frequency domain response. Oh well. I am glad for myself that the audio quality gap between the iPhone and the rest of the world disappeared at last...
An ugly side of the ICS 4.0x os is that ringtone volume and notification volume are now connected. This is quite a stupid PIA thing and if somebody knows some solution to this I would gladly love to hear about.

Should I sell the HOX and buy SGN2

Been checking out the N7105T today and has me thinking, HOX is a great phone however the battery is not interchangeable and s-on really sh!%$ me off.

Why is that even a question? GN2 is a beast and beats HOX hands down. Go right ahead. Highly unlikely that you'd be disappointed

Uuaahhh... YES!

i often played around with hox as some friends have them.
HOX > N2
build quality (BY FAR)
i like the camera a tad more on the hox
ui
development possibilities (documentation is there not like exynos)
maybe that pixels cant be seen on the hox (due to smaller screen)
Sound
N2 > HOX
Display color. I just love amoled
Battery 3100mah is just massive
Smart stay and some camera features (that's why I always come back to sammy roms and cant stay on cm or pa or whatever)
swappable sd and battery
even though there are less points in favor of the note 2, those points are more important for me. Super AMOLED and battery life are just such a big impact for my personal decision.

I own both.
Started with the HOX but the battery life was frustrating so I bought the GN2 and it was the right choice in my opinion.
The screen size is quite noticeable in a good way and battery life is a huge improvement.
The note 2 screen is not as sharp but its still good.
Speed wise they honestly feel the same. Both quite smooth with small lags here and there.
If I had the choice again, I would still buy the N2. Though the choice wasn't as hard for me because I still kept the HOX as a music player and spare phone for the car lol

Lags here and there? Mine doesn't lag at all - when does it lag, usually? Are you using stock kernel?

hi ,
i gave my hox to my son !!
thats how fed up i got with htc ,battery use.. etc !!
Got the note2 and have never missed htc (had about 5 htc phones, over period of time )
got note 2 for about 4./.5 mths now.
on stock rom 4.1.1 and battery use is just awesome ( comparing in" general "of my hox and other devices of mine )
eg in standby mode (overnight ) 1 to 3 % battery use and about 11/ 13 hours standby !
also very smooth ,no lag,and once you start playing around and using Spen ...!!!!
issues like ,"sds( if this ever happens, service provider or insurance, options ? )
, rooting does not worry me as,first it easy to do and i am very happy overall.with performance of note2.
good luck

Dump the HOX. The only thing godly about that phone is the screen but everything else is miles away from the note 2. I am particularly disappointed with the audio quality through earphones because HTC really hyped it up with the beats audio. You will immediately tell the difference between quality once you switch to the Note 2.

Thanks all for your input, battery interchangeable/ life is one of the big deals for me so its time to hunt around. Will donate the HOX to my son, I'm sure he will be wrapped.

One X still a good phone?

Alright the thread title already says everything.
Is the HTC One X still a good and reliable phone in day to day usage?
Is the Tegra powerfull enough to play current games and get through all daily stuff without problems in form of delays or lags?
Also regarding stock ROMs like CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android, as I'm planning (if I buy that phone) to flash one of these, do they run smooth?
I plan buying the One X because I hate the button layouts of current phones and would be happy to get some opinions.
Thanks in advance!
(If this belongs on the Q&A Thread please move it...)

Everything you said...yes. great phone. I sold my HTC one to come Bk to the x as it just doesn't compare camera etc
All games run sweet
Paranoid etc all smooth..you'll lose camera quality but it still works though

Nope, not a good phone......it's a friggin' AWESOME phone :laugh::laugh:
Matt

I love the One X, I don't feel any need of buying a new phone this year, it's a reliable phone. I use Sentinel Rom which is an AOSP rom like the ones you mention, I don't like Sense so this has been my daily driver for months, and everything works great, the phone is fast, games run as smoothly as you want them to and so on. My only concerns are the battery and the camera which are.. well, terrible. If you're not in absolute perfect conditions the pictures will be awful, don't even try low light photography, it'll be hurtful, even the flash is useless, you can't get a good photo (it's worth noticing that the results aren't the same with the stock sense camera); and the battery barely lasts a day (by day I mean the moment when you wake up until the moment you go to bed, not 24 hours, 12 hours tops). If you can live with that I strongly advise you to buy this phone. Even more due to his price range which is very mid range and you get a very high end feel phone. The build quality and the screen are outstanding, I'd say that's what it has over his greatest competitor which is the S3. Hope I helped

Yes. And One X>S3.

Quite a lot of One X's have that issue, especially if they've upgraded officially to the 3.18 base
If I were you its a no brainer, get the S3 or even better, the Nexus 4
But the S3 has:
Better camera, better audio, smoother gaming performance, micro sd and better development community
The One X has terrible battery, terrible performance in high end games, I mean some games that are supposed to be optimised (thd) lag on this phone (shadowgun for example) and the hyped features like beats audio turned out to be ruined by the HOX's crappy DAC and the so called super 'Tegra 3' turned out be nothing but a heat creating battery sucker
The only things I prefer of the One X is the build quality and excellent screen but tbh that's not really enough to make this phone 'better' than the S3
I'm not hating on the One X, it's probably the phone that I've kept the longest since I've bought it but tbh, it was a disappointment
Feel free to disagree

I also owned 2 One X's and neither of them had Wi-Fi issues. The first one had a gap in between the screen and the body of the phone, it came like that out of the box it made a crack noise every time I touched the display, would like to know what happened with that phone :silly:
One thing I read here that is 100% true is that for the same price you can buy the Nexus 4 which is better in every way, it's something you should consider

lol what are you saying? s3 has compared to one x bad camera and battery in s3 just holds not more then half an hour more then in one x ....gaming...i really don't have problems with gaming now...even with un-optimized games... the one x is way better then s3...but ok you own the s3 so you will say another thing...i already made MANY tests with both...the one x was always better only in speaker volume and battery it was not that good as s3 but ok it's enough...

Nah lol I don't have S3 (S4), so I should actually be supporting HOX
But seriously battery is way better on the S3, I borrowed my friends one for 2 weeks to see what it was like and on a bloated stock rom with at least 2 hours of gaming, I easily reached 5 and a half hours of screen on time
And come on, everyone knows the HOX flopped when it came to gaming, I mean try and play any gameloft game and it'll lag really badly (Batman, Nova 3, Wild Blood). Real racing 3 on high graphics lags and so does shadowgun. Seriously go download Iron man and tell me it's smooth. Even with Trip's kernel, it was unplayable for me and within ten minutes, CPU hit 75°C
With custom kernels it's fixed a bit but the heat produced is just ridiculous. And the camera of the S3 may not have some of the fancy features of the One X but the quality is quite a bit better

There's a basic flaw in all battery comparison posts on this thread. It's only obvious that S3 will have battery life than the HOX simply because the S3 has a large battery capacity - nearly 28% more. Hence, if all else constant, compared to the HOX the S3 should last at least 28% longer assuming both the phones are used in exactly the same way.
It's only fair on HOX to compared to another phone with a similar battery capacity, IMO

The HoX is still an amazingly good phone, no doubt about it.
My other half got a Sony Xperia Z a couple of months ago and there are some obvious hints that Sony's flagship has got some more grunt and has unbelievably good battery life, but the camera and screen are noticeably inferior when compared to the HoX.
I'll be sad when the day comes that I 'upgrade' from my HoX.

Bought a HTC One a month ago just to give it a try. Great phone, faster than One X, better battery, better sound. For the first couple of weeks, One X sat silently on my desk.
But then, the novelty of One started wearing out and I wanted to sell it before it devalued to much. I've returned to my One X a week ago and I remembered why I love it. It has a GREAT screen, it's light, has a greet feel, it's still damn fast. No need really to upgrade until next year.
@OP: if you can get one for a good price, don't hesitate. Just don't unlock the bootloader (4.2.2 is coming soon) until you test for a while the wi-fi issue that plagues most of the units.

HTC One X is awesome

This phone was a f*ng disappointment of 2012 for me since day one.
You can't have proper live wallpapers (or custom scrollable wallpapers) because some f**head engineer in HTC messed their HTC Sense too much and it consumes way too much RAM.
Battery life just sucks. At first we even had battery drainers inside the operating system (at least THOSE got fixed), the only way I overcome this is by installing HTC One X+ battery.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189653
After a year of use (primarily putting the phone inside front jeans pocket) that f*ng unibody case gets weary and affects how your digitizer is working. I am lucky that I switched from jeans to a suit and I manager to find a way to prevent unibody flexing (I put the phone in the inside pocket of my jacket now).
Update (JB 4.1) promised to roll out in October makes it out only in December.
Every guy in RL that I met with this phone was also very unhappy. Curious that people at this forum are not like that - but after all, only a small percentage of users use this forum. Plus I really think that people unhappy with this phone very rarely enter the forum (like me).
All in all, if you have to buy a 2012 phone, go with Nexus 4. Better in every detail (except slight disadvantages with the screen maybe).

I was one x user for last one year, at least four of my friends bought one x after seeing mine. With all the hype about HTC one I decided to give it a try, amazing boom sound, full hd screen.
Sold my one x in the process. 1 week and I was missing my one x. Sold HTC one and bought another one x and gonna keep this till it stops working. Fantastic device, excellent build quality, looks good naked.

RR3 does NOT lag at all, nor does Shadowgun, not even in the slightest. But since Gameloft games are s**t I couldn't give a monkeys. NO game I play on the HOX ever lags. ATM I am enjoying Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, full 3D space combat sim, and it's utterly flawless.
The HOX, even after over a year, continues to impress...and I do NOT have one of the exceedingly rare variant 3's or anything like that. I have the worst of the bunch variant 0 (though I think I am lucky in my particular chip just being binned like that). And my battery is the original.
ONE thing I agree on is that it DOES get hot, but that's more a product of manufacturing process. It's manufactured on TSMC's 40nm high-speed process (the companion core being on the low-power process). This means that at full-tilt it has quite a high leakage (heat and power use) but that clock for clock it's switching speed is far superior than, for example, the S3 which uses a FAR cooler-running 32nm LP process.
Tegra 3 was designed to be performance over power. HTC realised their mistake in pairing it with such a poor battery in the HOX, hence the HOX+.
I am NOT going to say the HOX is without flaw, far from it...but it is an incredibly powerful phone with a quality build and a simply SUPERB screen that continues to hold it's own in every application even after an eternity has passed (and over a year in the smatphone market IS an eternity).

I've run every live wallpaper i've liked the look of without one single problem, even on Sense. I just tend to not like live wallpapers but they run just fine so I have no idea what you're on about there.
Battery life under use does NOT suck...the original battery capacity sucks...and I will admit that was one of HTC's few design choices on this device that really did blow. The battery is too small, but Tegra makes excellent use of it considering it's power requirements, and IDLE battery consumption is EXCELLENT. That's what NVIDIA aimed for, and HIT in my mind, maximum performance during user interaction but minimal power draw in idle to compensate.
After over a year of use the bodywork on my uncased (in all that time) and jeans pocketed HOX has NOT fatigued and the screen is in perfect condition.
Finally I would say that the people you are likely to meet on this forum are those people who utilise their phone to it's fullest possible potential. I am not talking about custom ROM's and kernels, I am talking about just USING the device to the maximum. Ordinary Joe and Jane Public tend not to do this and find many things to b*tch and moan about, in MY opinion..which I think is just as valid as your assessment.

RR3 doesn't lag on stock low graphics setting but as soon as you set it at high where it isn't an eyesore, the fps is bearable but is only about 25fps dropping to about 16 in heavy scenarios.
And sorry mate but your simply wrong, even hamdir stated that shadowgun lags and was complaining about how an 'optimised' game doesn't even run well on the HOX. It's not like it runs constantly at low fps but on too many an occasion it drops way below playable for a few seconds during gameplay
And Gameloft may have some terrible customer service and support but they have produced some really good games which I can't enjoy on the One X - Nova 3, Dark Knight and Wild Blood to name a few
And your telling me no absolutely no game lags? That's a bit of a joke considering it's well known how Nvidia put a sh*tty GPU alongside the excellent Tegra 3 processor otherwise. Go and play NFS Most Wanted, GTA Vice City, Dungeon Hunter, Dead on Arrival 2, RR3 on HIGH graphics, etc, etc. and then come back and talk
Man I'm not just hating on the One X for no reason, but sometimes you just have to face facts, the One X disappointed in many areas.

What HTC improved in last 3 years?

Lets ask another question to guys. I like technologies and like to watch changes. I was with HTC about three years and I tested many phone including HTC. Also I always reading feedbacks and speaking with people about phones which they have.
But topic is just about HTC company.
that they improved:
Power (CPU, RAM, GPU)
Design
Sense OS
Camera (which isn't important for me, because I need phone to call and do some tasks)
Screen
That they didn't improve:
Battery
Performance (S2 is working more faster than HoX),
Quality
Support
I would like to hear from you guys:
What they improved that didn't improve?

Battery and performance have definitely been improved the s600 in the htc one is awesome and the 3100 battery is really big in the butterfly s, the htc one max will also have a 3000+ battery. I don't feel they are doing so good on the camera department they could definitely do with some sort of boost. Besides camera, storage and assemble quality we have seen a boost in every other category including things like microphones and speakers.

Even with these improvements (or the lack of, in some areas) they aren't doing that great in the sales department.
Three years ago they were a top contender in the Android world, nowadays they are (unfortunately) struggling to stay relevant.

It have battery 3000+, but also it have screen 5.9 inch. So battery life will be same as HTC One or even worse. So for me it doesn't make sense to buy this phone. And second, it comes close to Tablet. You need a big pocket for this device. I can't even call that HTC One Max is a phone. Ubuntu Edge (if is comes to market) is more better than this phone.
I see that more bigger phone so is more bigger battery and screen. This is like proportion for HTC business module. Why they can't research in battery technology?
I use only two apps in HTC sense:
Weather,
Google Play Music.
Because if I will start use everything, so I need take a battery bank.

They have shoved a 3100 battery in butterfly s which is the same size as the sg4 5" while the sg4 only has 2600.

Personally I think they haven't improved much. Just better build quality with the htc one. Even the HTC one had some problems such as sharp edges, screen coming off (Had the same problem with my hox). Battery is still a huge issue, Overheating, poor HTC customer service.
Oppo is teasing something new on their Facebook and Google+ page. I'll wait for that or the Nexus 5.

[Q] Buying HOX now?

Hello everyone,
I got bored with my xperia z1 compact and now I want phone with sense 4 (possibilities are: one x, one s, sensation).
I red a lot about faulty batteries on hox and that hox+ is little better because better battery, but one x is, to me, one of the most beautiful designed phones ever + there is sense 4 which is THE most beautiful UI to me, and I want that combination
Also I found several used hox's with hox+ battery installed and their owners says screen-on time is around 4 hours on kitkat which is totally ok to me, battery life on my z1 compact is around 3.5 hours.
I know One m7 have all these problems corrected but that phone is really a lot uglier to me than hox and I don't want sense's 5 minimalism either.
Is it wise to buy this phone (used)?

I'm using One X almost 3 years (bought it same day as it came to my country) and I'm pretty sure that it's the best choice (both X and X+) if you want Sense 4. I'm still happy having One X and not gonna buy a new one anytime soon
The only cons of One X is speakers - they aren't loud (ofc you can install mod to make them louder, but still, not as loud as M7)
Second "bad thing" you can solve easily: overheating and battery life (solve it by undervolting cpu and gpu). When I just bought my One X, i did a video playback test without undervolt and with undervolt (but didn't underclock anything) and tested how much time it can play an 720p video. Results were insane - without undervolt i've got 5h50min and with undervolt 6h20min. Also without undervolt CPU temp was around 50*C, battery temp 30*C, and with undervolt CPU temp jumped down to just 30*C and battery temp was just 25*C (I've been testing in 20*C environment). WHATCHA WAITIN' FOR? Just buy it!

Thank you for long answer
Speakers are not important to me at all, but sound through earphones are, how is sound on stock earphones and with mods like ones on ViperX rom?
Is sound loud enough and clear enough, I had sensation and sound was really good, I don't want it to be inferior to sensation

Well, sound through earphones sounds like it must, according to GSM Arena quality must be even better than Sensation's output
From GSM Arena:
Frequency response with headphones attached (lower difference is better):
HTC One X: +0.10, -0.10 (0.10+0.10=0.20)
HTC Sensation: +0.71, -0.15 (0.71+0.15=0.86)
0.20 < 0.86, so One X's quality with earphones must be even better

Ohhh that is really nice then, now I am even more determinated to buy hox
