Develop Bugs

Thinking of buying the HTC Desire...but..

Hi all,
I am thinking of getting one for my wife...however, I have been told the internal memory isn't a lot. Specially for games and apps. So just wanted to know if this really is a problem in a long run.
I quite like the screen size and the screen particularly, it's bright and beautiful.
Also, if I buy it now, some where in February, what OS version should i expect, upgradeable to what? I am not much is flash fanatic, so i am not going that way at all...
And also could someone be kind enough to sum up the pros and cons in less than a minute...
Thank you so much...

I would suggest to look for a better phone if you have the budget. Although a great hardware in its time, Desire is old and is obsolete now (it hurts me too say it but that's the truth. ). The last official Android version is Gingerbread. If you are not going to root and s-off, you will definitely have to complain about the memory storage.

just what I was afraid of...thanx a lot buddy...but the use it going to be moderate to low-heavy..like simply put, for games and all...nothing over the top...and some apps of course...
and as I am writing this, I am comparing it with the Desire S...it looks wayyy better...so what would you suggest? Desire S or Incredible. I don't have the budget for the Incredible honestly...but any known issues with the Desire S?

Yeah better a Desire S than the original Desire. Although I'm not quite sure if it will get an ICS upgrade in the future.
Game files right now are getting larger so Desire isn't really up to the task of storing several games plus other apps at once specially if you intend not to root it.

Thanx buddy...but no known issues with Desire S right that I should be aware of/expect?

There were some problems with the Desire S, but most of them were software-related and have been fixed, either by official patches or by independent parties such as the devs here on XDA. The main issue with the Desire S, however, is a hardware bug: some shipments have been plagued by random reboots. Some people even had to have their devices replaced 3 to 4 times until finding a stable unit. So if you decide to buy an S, please make sure you have at least SOME warranty left.

Hi, I wouldn't buy a HTC device at the moment except you really like the stable metal covers of HTC. But for me, Samsung has the best devices now in case of hardware and price performance ratio.
So long story short I would recommend you a Samsung Galaxy S Plus. The Motorola DEFY+ is also quite good.

Thank you for your reply...If only you could tell me how to look for those issue-infected devices...like for ex. the Droid Razrs that were a pre-release units had a bad screen, date - 26th Oct...so is there a way to find out BEFORE purchasing a phone, manuf. date, make-country, etc...

Hi, thank you for your reply...but honestly, I hate Samsung phones. They look cheap and have no style or class. HTC phones on the other hand look stylish and smart. No offense to you in any way my friend...and its not for me, it for the missus But thanks for your reply...

Kudos on this. I hate when the people write phrases like "Omg ICS :drool:, now I don't have to upgrade yet", or "there is no real successor to Desire" and similar statements which are - idiotism.

My suggestion:
Take your money and run, run as fast as you can, run as far away as possible from this phone.. scat! get outta here!! I never want to see you again! :'(
But in all seriousness... go for a newer phone, this ones almost 2 years old.

Today if I wanted to buy new HTC, it would be Sensation (not that XL or XE - I see just marketing move of HTC under these). I think it's the best HTC you can buy today.
As it was already said, Desire is too old today and in case of stock settings (no root or S-OFF) the memory status is really painful.

Maybe you could augment that statement with the fact QSD8250 is year 2008 piece of hardware.

Get the newer Desire S.

Desire gets hot easily and keeps Rebooting. And yes, memory is an issue.

Can't agree with this. Hot on heavy usage, maybe. But reboots? Seems like you have faulty software/hardware.

I would if i could, but there's actually no way to tell. As i've already said, the reboots are completely random and HTC's solution for these is a mainboard replacement.
I don't know where the Desire S has been/is being made. The Desire was made in either China or Taiwan. My GF's Desire is made in Taiwan and it's visibly better built than mine, which is made in China. Both are PVT-4. So if that's also true for the S, i'd advise you to buy a Taiwan-made one.

I think i'm done!

Posting in this section because posters on this form have experience with both the S4 and the Tegra 3.
Currently I own an HTC ONE S. I love the way it looks and feels in the hand, the screen and battery life is decent and when its working correctly its lovely and fast.
BUT
I hate the chipping issues and there is no official word on a solution for the black version. The Internet and signal is sporadic at best jumping from 3G to HSDP+ and often not working at all i'm also getting soft resets when browsing the internet. I also hate that it can't play 720p youtube smoothly.
I'm thinking of complaining to 3mobile and upping my tariff and swapping for a HTC One X (international with Tegra 3).
I'll get used to the size and the added bonus of extra storage will be nice. The battery concerns me a little. In work I always have access to a charger so thats ok. But at weekends when i'm out and about just using the phone for the occasional call and text and nothing else am I likely to notice a huge difference between the S and the X?
Would you make the change if you were having the same issues as me? I've had two ONE S's both with the same problems so its not just my phone.
There have been no updates for the S whereas there have been at least 2 for the X. Also the ROM scene on the S isn't great with not many releases and I was hoping to learn how to do that and have some fun tinkering.
What would you do?
Thanks for any help in advance.

If I were you I'd go ahead and get the One X because you seem to want more power to play 720p smoothly without LTE and after reading the Battery Stats thread (which includes the One X international version), I came to a conclusion that the One X has pretty decent battery life. Though I'm already biased because I literally can't sleep at night because I'm thinking about this phone, I would still recommend it over the One S also because of screen size and quality. But before you pull the trigger and get the One X, you should ask around the forums and see if anyone else is using the unlocked international version of the One X on T-Mobile and if they're experiencing similar issues.

they said they changed the process of the one s, so idk exchange it for the one s, if it doesnt work go to the one s!!!!
but i think your meant to post this in the international one x section??? yes no idk

Wrong forum, this is the S4 One X(L) section.
That being said, the S4 version is still a fantastic device.

you're right... I think it should be under the international One X forum.

Yeah you're probably right actually.
Apologize. Could an admin move it for me?

current One X owner, it eats h264 for breakfast and plays 1080p videos flawaless im surprised the One S can't play 720p, tegra games and the SLCD2 screen have to be seen to be believed
however we have serious list of random build quality defects right and there is a high chance you might get a defected unit, i made a poll and 28% out of 600 voters had a defected unit
im switched two phones so far each with their own set of build niggles, these devices are fresh out of the oven and HTC is yet to nail the production process

My advice: get rid of them and move on. Why stick w something that gives you so much distress and then feel unhappy?
That being said, if I were to get any of them, I'd stick around since they are such nice phones and I cant imagine me using Android on any other brand Sam*cough*sung*cough.
But again: it's just a phone. Dont like it dont use it.

Please don't be misleading when it comes to defective numbers, its natural that when people have defects they come search on a forum like this and when nothing is wrong they don't.
Also after years of reading these forums its clear that out of the thousands there is always a few ocd who nit pick at things that the general public would never even notice as build defects.
My One X is fine btw It's the longest I have ever gone without rooting and installing custom rom, I think because I really enjoy the stock speeds and sense UI re design ^.^

i opened more One X than you can ever dream of, i crossed 15 One X so far
latest issue? dust under the screen in three at least
you are the one being misleading and fooling yourself and yes we have one perfect flawless one x and its really a piss off when it so hard to find one like it

One x is brilliant if you get a good one, but it is a lottery. Who did you replace the phone with for 15 times
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Dust would drive me insane! The chipping issue on the ONE S is not good at all.
The phone plays 720p fine in a dedicated media player but it does not like 720p in youtube in the browser.
I do like my ONE S just wish it would work properly (internet and MAO coating).

The Previous poster is right, It's you who is being misleading.
I believe the defective unit rate would be more like >10% (Still bad), Remember people like to complain more than they like to praise, hence why you'd see a disproportionate amount of negative results.
also, I find it hard to believe you're on your 15th one X?!
Why not Give up at your 3rd?

Not to say that dust under the screen isn't a defect, and it would definitely drive me crazy, but I would be surprised if my girlfriend would notice any of the build defects that people return one x's for.

I'm with basil3...to any of us here, the most minute little inconsistency will drive us mad and we will post and ***** and moan about it all day long, but to most people, such things don't even compute. It's the same reason "most people" buy iPhones...they just don't know any better and any old POS will do.
Fwiw, I also have a perfect OneX. Still stock and brilliant in every way. I also find it difficult to believe someone would keep going back to something that they found defective fifteen times...

get the XL if you are on tmobile..if you buy the international version you will be stuck with edge unless you live in an area that tmo has refarmed their 1900 spectrum to handle 3G (which I doubt it)

i wasted a hell of my time on the mega thread and everyone who knows me know im an HTC freak fan and number one HOX fan, but sorry whats going on with the HOX is hard to deny when it start to burn you
i didnt give up because i want a perfect one so badly! if thats not clear enough!
i bet your screen have so sort of defect and u didnt even bother looking
i can flood you with HOX serial photos if you want
its just like saying the One S has no MAO chipping issue! which i does, i saw one in store with the USB port edge already peeling off

Why we love the HTC One X!

As I read through the daily posts in the One X forum I'm increasingly finding more and more people needlessly moaning about all aspects off the One X and about HTC and that's fine I guess, people have issues and want to get that out in the open and get some feedback
but I think with all this negative feedback we who love our One X and HTC need to voice that and balance out the pros and cons debate!....
So this thread is for you to tell the rest of the world why you love and enjoy your One X & HTC so much!
Please don't turn this into a thread full of silly and pointless arguments

well we had threads like this
and i'm already the emabassador for the One X so i don't need to repeat myself lol
perhaps you should start

I remember the first time I saw the HTC Desire HD and I just couldn’t believe what a fantastic phone it was! everything about it was beautiful! ...and then came the One X and I new I just had to have one!!
What a phone! HTC made me feel that magic feeling all over again! It looks absolutely fantastic! the shape, the screen size, the colours, sense 4 and not forgetting it’s the worlds first HTC quad core phone! wtf QUAD CORE!?!! I went for the white version, I’ve never had a white phone before but white was created for the One X! there simply perfect together! ...these are just some of the things I like about the One X but I what do you like about it!?

this is lame..
with samsung dominating the market, their phones becoming easier and easier to root and custom rommed..
last time it used to be odin, now there's cwm touch for samsung phones and also hardware hacks that are influenced by software. even modems on samsung phones are flashable.
im giving htc one last chance, unveil a godly tegra 4 phone with superb camera (better or on par with samsung) and also NO wifi pin problems or anything similar. htc better keep their game up, or im going to jump ship too.
software problems are fine because they can be fixed. but hardware as terrible as the wifi pins problem on the hox? no.
if that happens again, i will definitely jump ship
edit : 1 week after the hox came out, the RRP for it was RM 2099. 2 weeks later, it's RM 1899. today, a 1 week old set costs a thriffling rm 1399 and a new set costs another thriffling rm 1649. the s3 stood strong at rm 1999 today and the RRP was 2199

Did you even read the topic of this thread? it's for people you like/love/enjoy there One X

One word: screen. Compared with the ridiculous pentile AMOLED s#it, the HOX's screen looks gorgeous. Sure if you have never seen it, you might think that a 4.7" 720p screen will not suffer from the pentile matrix, but when you look at them side by side, the difference is huge. And when you add the more accurate colors, the CPU which has games optimized for it, the comming of the cheap Tegra3 console which will drive more developers to optimize their games for it, the overall look and feel of the phone (I hate shiny plastic stuff) and you get a device which is truly a marvelous piece of technology.

All three issues already fixed in latest batches and software
Ill donate to have you away to the sgs3

+1
I like HTC because they are already working on jelly bean, that is the main factor of owning awesome smartphone - the updates, samsung lost this battle hard when they couldn't or didn't want to update galaxy s anymore - which is very nice powerful phone even today, probably wouldn't buy One X if they went the other way.
+2
I have not seen One X screen before i bought it, now i cant imagine more perfect screen quality, nothing can beat that.
+3
Just android and google experience, I wouldn't even look at One X if it had like windows phone rubbish, there are differences in companies strategy, Google gives me youtube, android system, mail account, search and maps FOR FREE, Microsoft is completely opposite, its not user friendly - just watch how bad METRO is for desktop and how many ppl complain - they are not listening.

Latest batches ? Am I suppose to look for serial numbers or HTC recall the messed up batches and fix them ? cause its a shame to have exchange 4 hoxes and none of them worth the money I paid for ,none of them feel like a quadcore ,all of them have had faults, repair centers a mess .......

I have had other android phones. Even though I love android over iOS, I never had a phone feel more sophisticated in hand over the iPhone. The HOX is the best phone I've ever had. It feels better in my hand over the iphone for sure! (without a case obviously)

My HOX is better than the IPhone because of the big beautiful screen! Just love playing movies, games and surfing the internet on it!
And of cause the mighty Tegra 3
To the people who are complaining: why do you keep *****ing over your stupid problems in a thread where the OP so clearly states that it is a positive thread ment for encouragement. Take your selfpity to one of the many threads that is meant for whining.

Obviously you're unhappy. Either take it up with HTC or move on. Either way I see little reason for you to keep behaving like a brat here.
I just don't get why people that are unhappy with a device and know they will never be happy with it, insist on punishing themselves instead of growing a pair and growing up.
My HTC One X rocks. I don't twist it like a frisbee so I haven't found this magical 'twisting' that some folks have whined about.
The screen is awesome. No yellow tint or dots. If I had found either I would not have bought it (Or for the slow people SEND IT BACK.)
Very snappy. I haven't rooted or flashed it, but it sounds like half the complainers may have had a bad flash or flashed the wrong version and are now pooping fireworks because they effed up their phone.

Hey! I currently have a HTC desire S and am thinking about upgrading to the one x. Has anyone seen it as being a worthwhile jump from the incredible s or desire s. I really like the one x, but just a little hesistant to make the final leap. Thanks Guys. I hope to be a regular member of this section of the forums.

Don't let such a fear get to you. I doubt the newer models have that much of a problem anymore. Just make sure you search for any possible problems that can occur at the beginning. If you plan on rooting and flashing your phone i would even wait for up to 2~3 weeks but that's really up to you to decide. You won't regret this phone, good luck!

I used to have the incredible s and this phone is far better. Plus the 2.17 update is amazing! If you buy now you will get newer models without issues.

A new revised version of One X (AKA Endeavour C2) is already in the works. I’d say wait for it.

But what is the projected price on such a device?...

Hardly any changes, more like a small revision to the current HOX. Price should be just a tad more expensive.

Im guessing the bump in clock speed would 'justify' that...either way, Id wait on it...although, I want to see what the next Nexus has to offer

Don't do it. Buy the galaxy s3 or the one s. HOX is the most disappointing phone I've ever owned. It may well be the case that the newer ones come without defects but that kind of consideration should not even be in the equation when deciding on your next phone. I expect it to work properly out of the box.
No doubt every phone has its problems when first released but the myriad of problems with the HOX is unacceptable especially regarding htc's poor history of quality control.

The reason the HOX was so desirable is because it isnt as pocket burning as the SGS3....if the HOX+ manages to emerge without issues, it would be a definite buy...then again, feel like waiting to see what the new Nexus has to offer

8 years Of Htc

Hello everyone, after 8 years of Htc is time for my Samsung advanture.
The very slow Htc update speed is the reason why I moved to Samsung, as it looks like is always one step ahead of Htc.
It's been 2 days on my Note2 and I love it, a very good and powerfull phone.
Hope not to regeret my One x, for now not at all.
Cheres!

Welcome!

Welcome and i hope you wil not miss these cursed HTC CID versions so you will be able to flash any compatible rom to your phone.The bootloader is also unlocked (keeps warranty) if that is no problem

As my name would indicate, been an HTC user since... forever - from the touch viva days to One X Finally made the switch and so glad that I made that decision. Love this phone!

Glad you have come to your scences (just kidding) Nothing wrong about HTC devices but some definite dealbreakers like storage, non-removable battery, CID, locked bootloader and slow updates.

Yes, all the above things are the reason for the switch, I still love Htc for all the great phones that I used for this past 8 years, but I see that there is no ear for the costumers, no more feeling... hope one day it will get better, for the benefit of all us.

Brain teasing adventure.
Welcome aboard.

In 2 days I'm gonna take the same boat to endeavour the conquest!

After 4 months on Note 2 I really miss my HTC ONE X. As soon as HTC One is on available I will go back to HTC.
Note 2 is a very good smartphone but HTC are wayyyy ahead. I can tell this after 7 years and more then 30 smartphones. My main smartphone will never be something then HTC

^Used to own a One X myself. Why do you miss One, if I may ask? Just curious of course. I'm not sure how HTC are "wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead", though. and I used to own (nearly) exclusively HTC devices before.

Actually the S4 is Wayyyy ahead of any HTC phone in every aspect. Better cpu, more sensor, better battery, sd-card slot, removable battery, better audio chip, etc... But if you like the HTC it's your choice.

The only thing I miss from HTC is the Sense UI and build quality.

Don't miss Sense UI that much, but I do miss the premium feel. I still think Samsung could have done better with the design. Not even nearly a dealbreaker for me though. Just nitpicking here :good:

What build quality are you missing with a Samsung Note 2? Are you talking about the build quality that makes the HTC One the least repairable phone EVER?

This build quality?
I'm so tired of reading that crap about the build quality of HTC over Samsung. Aluminium body DOES NOT automatically equal build quality and plastic body DOES NOT automatically means poor build.
This said, HTC has a good build quality yes, but Samsung has nothing to learn from HTC in the build quality department.

Both me and the guy in the comment above you find HTC devices feel more premium. I also think the HTC One is the best looking phone I've ever seen and truly feels premium. This is not the case with the note 2 imo. Similarly, it's irrelevant how hard to One is to open up, and if anything goes to show that it may prove more durable than other devices, like the article suggests. Repairabily is irrelevant when we're discussing build quality and I found that the link you posted weakened your arguement. In saying that though, it is all subjective.
I'm not a massive fan of plastic phones, and the general impression I have got from many others is that plastic does make the phone feel cheaper than it is. You may not agree, but that is the way a lot of people feel so it's not "crap." At the end of the day plastic may have some advantages over aluminium, but it is unsurprising if some people feel that something like the HTC One is a much more premium looking and feeling phone.

Yup wayyy ahead...like non removable battery, no SD slot, poor battery life, wireless defects (HOX) and super slow updates; list could go on... yeah I see where you are going with this.

Yes of course it's irrelevant, discussing how the phone is built is totally irrelevant when discussing the quality of the built. Makes total sense. Paying 900$ for a phone you can't repair really weakened my argument. I don't know where my head was.

Looking, feeling, I can agree with that.
