Just switched to android after years of being an iphone user.
Got a HTC One X (in New Zealand) which as ICS 4.0.3 and 1.26.781.2
After installing ARHD 5.2 a bunch of games that did work on stock are either crashing to desktop or rebooting the device itself.
Anyone else getting this issue?
Pretty sure it installed correctly, sais the ARHD version in settings.
Using clockwork to revert back to stock until ****s fixed :/
...
And You Chose The One X?
...Why?
Crashing on stock ROM?? Don't know....
Try contacting the CC of the game or app or contact where you bought your device from, HTC.
should of waited for the s3 cos samsung phones never crash htc do alot
andd the iphone........well its **** don't use a fruit phone
Sounds like they weren't purchased from the market or the fact you're running something custom.

Correct, they weren't purchased from the market.
Seems that apps designed for Tegra are working fine, guess more will come online the longer this device has been around.
Don't know what you HTC haters are *****ing on, these phones are badass, so powerful.
Samsung user just **** out of these forums and don't say s3 rocks. It will sucks soon as soon it gets out. Let me count on you *****es.

If you stick with the apps from the market, you won't have to worry about this. Only compatible apps show in the market.

So here is the deal, I had a Sensation before my One X, and since this phone has Tegra 3 I would assume it run a lot smoother! And overall it does, actually every single app is much more fluid, and switching apps are fast and smooth, but the Facebook app is horrible! I know, it's always been, but compared to my old Sensation, the One X isn't doing well here..
Yes I know FriendCaster is available, but I actually prefer the official app on a phone.. So is anybody experiencing this? And is this really where we can see the power of custom kernels? Or am I completely stupid and alone on this..?
Edit: And sorry if this has been discussed.. Haven't been on here that much lately..

I havnt noticed it as being any worse then my S2 but the official app, being the pile of gash it is, I wasnt expecting any improvement
not really sluggish at all for me
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
It really depends what you call 'sluggish'. Coming from the Facebook app on an iPhone for example, the official Facebook app on the one x takes longer to start and also does not provide a smooth scrolling experience as on the iPhone.
Compared to other Android devices, it feels pretty much the same on most of them. Looking at LG 2x and SGS II they all feel quite the same.
The facebook app is just crap at the best of times, it was naff on my HTC Desire and its still crap on the One X, its nothing to do with the phone, just the app was made by monkeys... My mum could code a better app! Heh.

+1 - I HATE the facebook app. They really need to sort it out!
The worst recent change they made was to wait until you get a gps position BEFORE???? loading the news feed. so you could sometimes end up waiting a loooong time before you see anything. Its shocking coding by them.
I heard a while ago that they only have one dev working on the android one, but a team who do the iphone one. Maybe this has changed now, but if not, they need to consider some changes!
The FaceBook app could really do with GPU Acceleration.
Theres no reason to why clicking out the sidebar should be choppy, and the fact that the loading spinner is sluggish
I actually like how the official FB app is, EXCEPT how delayed and laggy scrolling can become!

Yeh that's real crap you can however stop it, if your rooted get lbe security it allows you to controll the permissions of everything system apps included.
I want to know why it need my location on the news feed? I could understand on the status updates screen.

Hi dear,
I just got my phone yesterday and it's so disappointing.
Still a lot of lags when scrolling and speed is not as fast as my old galaxy nexus.
The problem is we can tick the force gpu rendering...
I'm seriously thinking to return the device. But I haven't tried the new update yet so I'd like to know if It's worth to wait for it.

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)
Hello!
I'm new to the forums and Android. Right now, I'm an owner of an iPhone 3GS.
I'm getting a new phone because I'm sick of all the lagging and Apple may not create apps/games for my old 3GS anymore.
Now, to my questions.
1. Does One X lag (even a little) when browsing internet, playing games or even in Android.
2. I plan on getting the EU version, which should be 32GB and quadcore(not really a question, just claryfing).
3. Can I root ANY version of One X?
4. Should I root? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
5. How does the Flash Player work? Can I like play online games which require flash player?
6. Should I buy a case, if yes, which? I was using iSkin on my 3GS, but they dont make one for HTCs.
7. Will I be able to install ANY version of Android which comes out?
8. I want a top-end smartphone. Is there some kind of app/game that One X cant run?
Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert so will try and answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.
1. I've had my One X for a couple of months and am more than happy, I'm still on 1.29 Orange UK and browsing and games are pretty good, I've no complaints anyway. I believe some people said phone got better with the 2.17 update.
2. There is a thread about a 16GB version, I think someone got one from dialaphone UK, just double check.
3. I'm pretty sure you can root any version, but might have a little wait if newer FW comes out. Someone with more knowledge might be able to confirm this better.
4 Root is just like jailbreak on Iphone, I always root mine so I can delete all stuff I dont want.
5. I don't play online games but flash works for me, I watch football at work at night.
6. Case is entirely your choice.
7. Who knows? but I assume we'll be able OK for a couple of years (updates).
8. Some people might have problems with some apps they use, mine work fine.
Hope this helps you a bit. Overall I'm more than happy with my HOX. I had a Galaxy S2 then went to the Sony Xperia S for a few weeks and then onto the HOX
I would wait for the one x+ that's got a bigger screen 1.7ghz tegra 3 and lte

If your rooting plan is to upgrade to the latest version of android...eg jellybean, beat in mind that flash is no longer supported, thus harder to install and update

Looks like I'll wait for the HTC One X+, the release date should be in early October.

Bigger screen? Like 0.1" bigger to match the s3 ?
Doesn't need a bigger screen bigger battery would be better.
To op, beauty of android means that you can complie any android and port it to any device.
So yeah newer versions of android should be updated by HTC or Xda.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Uhm, I think I've read somewhere that the HOX+ should have 4.5'' screen?
Hox+ should be the same as the One X but with quad and lte. I don't think they will downsize the screen.
If you need lte then go for the One X+ if you don't then go with the international One X as the development is better than any other variant as of the moment.
Official jelly bean is due very soon rumours early as next month so it'll get even better!

Well, now I've found out about HTC One XXL which should have 2GB RAM and 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, so yeah, I might even wait for that one...
Guess I'll just wait and see when One X+ and One XXL comes out and I'll decide.
I bet most of us have already upgrade to other phones, which are more capable with ICS or JB. I'm wondering for some sort of projects for it. Our HTC Desire is too slow and too little RAM to support the newer OS. Nevertheless, what do you do with your old Desires nowadays? Mine is just collecting dust being a camera surveillance, sending the output to a FTP server.
But how about a digital photo frame? But I know there is no possible way to get TV out. Yeah, I did search the forum...
Sigh... so far I'm doing these, as a standalone box collecting dust..
1. Camera surveillance - sends images to an FTP server (you can get those from Market),
2. alarm clock (chimes every hour),
3. Torrent downloader (hehehe, and output is dumped to my NAS),
4.... ???

My desire is great. I have it for two years now and I don't need anything more from a phone. It has everything. I run it on Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition ROM and I find it quite stable. However, if a Jelly Bean ROM would get as stable as the one I am using now, I will most definitely take the leap.
I will keep mine for at lest two more years. It was the best decision I've made when I bought it. Too bad it came with such a big shortage of internal memory. It's the only thing that is missing at this phone. But now we have so many ROMs with DATA2SD so this is not an issue any more.
I use it as a spare device. Currently running Oxygen 2.3.2. Clean and simple.
JB 4.2.1 - great !!
I am on JB 4.2.1 V4.5 - and it is a new Phone - smothest i ever try !!!
when you have tested it, you will understand me.
short button
notifications
very quick connections / wifi and bluetooth
some new applikations for ics and jellybeam
try it with launcher ex - it's great
speed speed ...
i am thinking to get old desires and put the new Bios on it for my children !!
Haha, it's unreal how these types of threads all end up as what's the best rom thread. @OP, I just use my desire as a phone and messaging only. My HOX is for entertainment.
