Hey guys, i just order a pair of GNs for myself and so, though im now having buyers remorse.
I love the look of the nexus, though i just feel as i mad a bad decision and should of gone with the Note, S2, htc one S, or even the X.
for one, it will most likely have the best deveolper support and nothing rivals vanilla ics

Well, do you take so many calls you need two phones?
I'd feel remorse too in that case

Oh well, in that case, no.
My wife loves hers.
That said there is always remorse in buying a 5 month old device. It is a dinosaur in tech terms; even if the software is cutting edge.
I would say take it back and get the phone you want.
The GN is a great device. The developer support is great if you wish to try all kinds of amazing ROMS. But even if you don't, the GN is a great stock. I love not having to hack my device to remove all the bloat. Just stock ICS. But as someone else said, its about 5 months old. Something to remember. Devices will always come out. But I am not sure if I would buy it today. Not with the HTC One X out (import). And the Galaxy S 3 is more than likely going to be a device worth upgrading for. In short, its up to you.

I came from the sgs2 and I can honestly say this phone is far superior. I havent tried the one s yet so I cant speak for that.

I for one came from the MyTouch 4G slide, and couldn't he happier.
The developer support on that phone is pretty much dead, and I actually got used to have no physical keyboard really fast.
This phone is fast, gorgeous, and its so relieving not having to worry about crap like Sense, or Blur from my previous phone the Motorola Cliq.
Sense 4.0 looks nice, but vanilla ICS is so much more beautiful without the extra bloat.
As for the hardware, I want a phone that can do everything a phone should, with a bit of extra fun, and this does just that.
Running games at ~50FPS is great, I don't see why I need a quad core phone to have them run at ~60FPS, at the risk of more battery consumption for little significant gain. There is no future proofing since a year down the line you will switch again; and by that time, your phone will still be just as powerful.
Hell, the G1 is still a great phone if you use it as one.

sounds like you dont know what you want and will probably feel the same with any of those phones.
Early May could very well be the announcement of the Galaxy S XXX super duper HD and I'd still not care. If it's not a GSM Nexus, it's not for me, because of the myriad of reasons already covered in this forum.

Spec wise, the HTC One X kinda beats the Nexus but isn't as fast in real use because of Sense 4.0. The only phone to beat the Nexus will be the Galaxy S3, but that usually will become the basis for the next Nexus anyway, so you just have to choose which cycle to get on, the Nexus Cycle or the Galaxy S Cycle. Stock Google and latest Firmware make the Nexus Cycle a no-brainer. I just hope you got a deal on the Nexus(s) because they are dirt cheap now (~$450)
I enjoy AOSP and the ease of modding with this device. Sure there might be other devices coming out w/ newer tech, but I don't think I can stand skins anymore. Even de-sensed and de-blurred don't cut it anymore.
I always get buyers remorse so can't really help you there. All I can say is that I wish i'd waited for SGS3 because if it's anything like the SGS2, which blows the nexus out of the water in every way but the screen, then I will be having a very very bad case of buyers remorse on 3rd May lol.
As for helping with your buyers remorse, if you like the look and feel of the phone, and can live with some minor flaws like the odd bit of lag, you will be ok with this phone.

$429 NIB + 2 years warranty shipped(each), so it was a pretty good deal.
I like what you're saying and i think that will be my plan of attack and just upgrade every nexus release, even if i had waited for the GS3 i wouldn't of been able to pick 2 of them up, I'm guessing they are going to be $800-$900.
Well thanks guys i feel a little better, im using a desire Z at the moment so it should be a big leap.

I don't think you'll have remorse. You're getting a great package, great price and updating to 4.0.4 will be awesome. And if you're a tinkerer it can only get better. Just think, a lot of us paid over $700 and don't regret it at all, even with the small problems we've had. And if you're already on xda, free tech support. Notice I said tech support and not noob support.
bow chicka wow wow.

+1. I've had the Desire and Desire HD before getting the GN and I must say every phone I've come across with Sense on it has been so poorly coded that it's had FPS issues just swiping from homescreen to homescreen.
The HTC One without Sense will best the GN hands down when stripped of Sense but I can't help but think (despite not having used one) that it will still struggle to run at a fluid ~59fps with Sense on it.
The Galaxy Nexus like all Nexus phones is a reference phone, Android as Google intended without all the extra manufacturers add to it (ie Sense, Touchwiz, Motoblur, etc.) which some people may actually like. If you like Sense then a HTC One might be the way to go for you.
My biggest thing with Android phones is developer support. I personally am coming from a HTC Thunderbolt, which at the time was great, a ton of developers, ROMS, MODS....life was nice. Then, the Nexus came out, and within a month about 75% of the developers had jumped ship, updates were slow, and it just wasn't fun anymore.
So that said here is my list of things I look for when buying a new phone
1. Good Developer Support (Pretty much guaranteed for Nexus phones)
2. Style, Build, and Accessories (I would say HTC usually takes this, but Sammy is catching up)
3. Newness of Technology (You don't want a phone that is still using 2 year old tech. However, the newest tech is not the best bet either, since this creates issues with developers being able to take advantage of the latest and greatest in their ROMS. The thunderbolt was a perfect example, it was the first with 4G LTE, which was a nightmare for developers to get the ROMS working right. Till this day CM7 is still not an official build on the Thunderbolt.
4. Resale Value - Lets be honest you do not have an Apple Device which gets good resale prices due to its limited lineup. However, Nexus phones often keep better resale then their counterparts just due to the fact it is a Nexus phone. I usually trade up every year, sell the old one with its accessories for about 300 and use it to buy the next one. This allows you to get the latest and greatest every year, for about the same price of an upgrade or cheaper.
I'd buy the GN in a heartbeat at prices now... ~$440 unlocked.
This device feels way more solid than the Galaxy S2 that my SO has.
Hello Everyone,
I would like to say that I was 100% sure that I was going to sell my iPhone 4S for the HTC One X until I came to the forum and saw some of the negative posts about it. Now I have owned Android phones before (S2, other HTCs etc.) and the first thing I will be doing is unlocking the bootloader and flashing roms on it. From what I have read here is that there were some issues at first but updates have been released and most of those issues are gone? Would you guys recommend me getting it considering the S3 will be announced soon? Mind you I am a fan of HTC Sense and now that CM9 is being released I cannot see what the S3 can offer over the One X...
Back to the point have all the issues from launch been solved and you guys would recommend it?
Thanks for the help .
I've recently started properly using this forum mainly because I have just got a One X and have the flickering issues. There is absolutely no definite indication at all that flickering issues have been resolved for starters. Nothing yet to indicate that it can be fixed by firmware or not. I'm considering returning mine and waiting a few months and getting a One X again only after that period. It's a great phone, but you might want to let the teething issues get out of the way first, that's all.
Remember that not every phone has issues... Only those that have issues complain, rare for people to join a forum just to say they are happy.
Take a look at iPhone forums.... Read through posts there of issues.... Would that put you off getting an iPhone?
Just to say, my handset is fault free as was my first other than the low signal issue . I took the first one back purely cos it was branded and was too impatient to wait for three to release the latest update that addressed the signal issue.

I really do not know what to do because I will be buying it from a person in a local deal so I cannot return it or exchange it at a store... You guys are saying the screen flickering issues is actually hardware and not software?
i haven't experienced any issues with my one x. mine is unbranded sim free. picked it up off ebay brand new. screen never flickers, although i have seen some people talking about this.
Screen flickering issues aren't as widespread as the forum posts would indicate. People who have problems shout the loudest.
I'd go for it, worst case scenario and it flickers just get HTC to send you a replacement.
I've been an iPhone guy for a while and have tried multiple android devices. The One X is my favourite so far vs my 4S. Mind you mine is the LTE version. My biggest gripe is the WiFi issues but I think should be fixable via updates.

I'm still waiting to get my HTC one x. How is it? I'm chompping at the bits for it.
What wifi issues you experience?
I got a free one x and have my 4s on craigslist.
This phone has some nuances (quad core gets hot baby), but the screen still gets me every time even on dim. I'm in love with android as I had only owned iPhones till now.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Also no issues here, as they said above,it's the people with the faults that shout loudest, it's exactly the same when buying a new tv etc, people leave bad comments who have the worst trouble it's common sense as I'd never go on a site after buying something am happy with and splash my gratitude at the product, but on other hand if I was having trouble I'd love to get on the site and slate the product am having trouble with... Anyways back to reality, I'd recommend the one x over 4s any day but it's all down to you whether you want to chance getting a faulty one x !

I love iOS and still do. I miss my iPhone 4S and I loved my GSII. Anyways, the One X is a really good phone if you can see past the dismal battery life. That's the only thing bugging me but hopefully in time it should get better with updates. GSII is still the best android phone for me. Would I say buy this? Yeah I would its a lovely phone, and as much as I love the iPhone, the screen is too small. Wait and see what the GSIII offers first. If you can't wait then you won't go far wrong with the One X.

Yeah I am meeting someone and selling my iPhone tonight... Unfortunately for Canada it seems that we will be getting a dual core version because LTE does not support quadcores... I might just wait another day and see what is revealed about the S3. Personally I hate the iPhone, screen is too small the software is outdated things take much longer to do than Android... The only good thing about the iPhone are the apps and thats it.
S3 won't be quad core either in the Canada.
I love my One X
I have decided to buy the One X but I am undecided if it should be white or the glamour tray hmm...

The grey / black One X seems to show up scuff marks more than the White version from what I've seen posted on here. Personally, I'd go for the white version.

Grey! White is for iPhones! Although, I will admit.. if I were to ever get a white phone, this would be it.
I was a long time iphone owner, but when i saw htc one x white one i just sold iphone 4 and bought one x. Screen ,performance plus android 4.0.3, its extremly fast it blows my acer iconia a500 away. Only thing that needs to be improved is battery life, its good for talking but big screen eats battery very fast usually i get two days of usage with screen on 3hours
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.

Hi everyone!
Well, i just bought a HOX, and it has 1 dead/stuck pixel an one "hot pixel".
Its not a big issue, i can live with it, but im really worried on getting worse problems in the future, like the loss of signal, wifi, etc.
While my original idea is to keep the phone because i really like HTC sense interface, and the phone itself is pretty quick, im still in time to return it and buy an S3 instead.
I payed a LOT of money for this phone (i bought it factory unlocked) and I want to be 100% sure that its a good inversion, as I dont frequently change my phone (im gonna keep it 2 years at least).
What should I do?
Thanks for reading!
Try dead pixel fixer app from play store.
Also the majority of one X users have no problem, i had a yellow spot problem, htc fixed it free under warranty, no wifi issues, and nothing else after that, its really your own decision. As you have posted in a HTC one X thread
we are bound to tell you to keep it as we are biased towards the device we own, but it is a great device, screen is better than s3.

Thanks a lot for answering!
My main concern is about the probability of the device having major problems in future...
The major issues such as screen, wifi, 3g signal and things like that, tend to appear in the very first use of the device or they appear after some time?
Sorry for being so repetitive, but i really want to be sure that im not going to have severe issues with the device in the near/long future, mainly because as I live in a "Third world" country, I have only 1 week of warranty (the warranty that the seller/importer gave to me). There is no official HTC support in my country and if i have to send it to USA for RMA, it would cost really a LOT of money. And as I said before I paid a lot of money for the device (about 5 times the price you get one new in the USA or Europe).
Thanks again!
I bought HOX few weeks ago and not experiencing any problems (which are not normal).
I unlocked the phone via HTCdev.com, flashed recovery, and using ARHD.
I guess it's newer, and those problems already fixed by HTC, I don't think you can suddenly get low signal issue if you don't have it now...
My phones part ID is SH24L i think its relatively newer.
Whats your part ID noamsch6 ?
Thanks!
Yes, buy an sg3 plastic phone and miss all tegra 3 games
How can we know what will happen in the future. Cmon.

i rooted my hox and i gots a yellow spots pop up on the screen when i use it
i went to htc care and they say they will replace the lcd because its a hardware issue
so im waiting the lcd arrive because they dont have stock right know

so maybe after i fix it im going to buy a SMG 3

hi
im sure u have warranty go back get it fixed or replaced and enjoy
i got this phone for the looks besides its HTC no offense to SG3 but i just fell in love with this phone and got it with the kind a development u have here u will enjoy it dude mine is around a month old i have rooted and all and im using a custome rom iv had no problem what so ever:good::laugh:
No.
Personally I would swap it for the S3 if you don't do much gaming as above comment suggested.... It will keep its value longer too I reckon.
I had one x for 2 months and was really good phone, quality of screen is awesome, fast, good camera, no problem at all with hardware issues. But now i bought s3 blue color, and i just feel good with s3, its really amazig in all aspects. Runing JB, s beam, s voice, motions are really fantastic, and rooting process is really fast and good with samsung. I knew it becouse i jad s2 before. Its just my opinion but: s3 wins for me. Better in all things for me.

That's not what the guys who came to HOX from the SGS3 said. LOL

I just got an s3 for my sis and I'm really glad I have the HOX. Owning the S3 is the same banal experience as owning an s2 and note, it's boring but feature packed. Screen is nothing compared to the HOX and speed improvements are marginal at best.

Lol, like i sad its just my opinion, I had both of them, and i didn't want to say bad things for one X, i liked one x till i got my S3, and was the best phone till i got S3, my Hox was rooted, runing Arhd, everything was good with Hox, Ok battery and overheat was not good. and one thing was terrible, I use to much MHL, and need with subbtitles, and if you Run MX player or whatever with Software Dec... your phone maybe will start burn
If you want a stress-free experience, I guess you have a better shot w samsung, not saying that Samsung's quality control and customer service are great. Otherwise, keep it and pray for the best lol
The s3 will have problems just like the hox and all new top spec smartphones for its down to HTC build style and the screen is better stuck with the hox

Hey all-
I am in the middle of a dilemma, I currently own a VZW galaxy nexus and it is on its last leg. The battery is shot, takes forever to connect calls, and is slow. I have been trying to baby it till the nexus 5 comes out but it is so annoying using a phone that is slow. I have been looking into the HTC one (my previous phone was the HTC incredible and I loved it). But I cant decide if I should try and wait for the N5? I understand that the HTC One as of now cannot achieve S-off/Root, but I am assuming it is only a matter of time till developers crack it.(thank you to all the great developors on XDA!) so what would you do in my situation? Wait for the N5 or go with the One?
I am really drawn to the one for the metal body and the new sense seems pretty nice, IMHO the S4 is to gimmiky.

Who's to say that the Nexus 5 is coming to Verizon unless you plan on switching carriers.. You weren't really clear on that aspect. There is a great deal of new devices that are coming out soon which should make for an exciting fall and Q4..
Also on a side note never buy a device with the assumption that the developer community will unlock, root, s-off the device you plan to buy. With devices coming out so frequently and OEMs becoming smarter with the way they are locking down their devices it's a game of cat and mouse or hit or miss if you will......
I recently purchased the HTC One just because it's an amazing device, that is with the hopes the the real deal hackers crack the bootloader to achieve s-off, unlock, root etc...
Right now I am in the same boat. I have waited this long what's another month or two to see what the Nexus 5 has in store?
Yes it may mean changing carriers which sucks but Verizon has done everything to sabotage the htc one (4 months late, no black model, quickly locking it down) that they no longer deserve my business...
So I will wait to see what the fall phones bring before making a decision at this point.
As soon as you wait for one device to arrive, another ridiculous phone is right around the corner. It's an endless cycle.
I was in the same boat. HTC Incredible > Galaxy Nexus > ? I considered the Nexus 5 but between the solid rumors it is going to be an LG (my least favorite oem) and the fact VZW let the N4 pass it by I opted to go with the HTC One.
Got it day 2 expecting to unlock it. No such luck but not having root after coming from a Gnex has not been a big deal. The HTC One is sooo awesome compared to the Gnex. The only things I miss from root/roms is long press back button kill (more of a habit than an issue), some of the Sense screens (Like the battery usage screen). They are such picky things I have no regrets moving to the One.
Did I mention that while my Gnex needed 1 to 2 charges throughout the day to make it to bedtime but the one can stay off the charger and with similar usage has 40% left. With heavy usage I got to 14% once after 16 hours on battery. Battery and sluggishness drove me to a new phone and I am glad it was the HTC One.
I agree with all of you, however I plan on staying with vzw.... What phones other than the n5 are coming out? There is the new lg buy I cannot stand the volume rocker on the back....is there any other phones that have been confirmed to be with big red?

I assume the Note 3 will be on all carriers.

Yeah I would assume the Note 3 would most likely come to Verizon as well being that it is the primary and most popular phablet to date..
Nexus 5 definitely won't show up on Verizon. The only other great phone left this year on Verizon will likely be the G2. That looks to be even more powerful than the HTC One and a larger screen. I don't care for it because its LG and their android skin is horrendous. I also could never get a plastic phone after having an HTC One. Its your call though of course!
I've sort of stopped playing the "should I get it or wait?" game because the smartphone market has just become so insane. Once you get a phone, a newer, better one is right around the corner. I got the HTC One knowing the bootloader got locked up, and I'm really enjoying it...even stock it's nice. I mean, I can't wait to put other roms on it, but nevertheless, it's awesome.
I also had a similar smartphone trajectory. OG Droid -> DInc-> GNex
In April I bought the S4, but really wanted The One. So last week I sold my s4 on craigslist and bought The One. It is fantastic as is. My contract is finally up in December, and coincidentally my discount expired this month. So if the N5 comes out and looks substantially better than The One, I will sell The One on swappa or craigslist or ebay. My point is go ahead and buy the phone, if you want something newer in the future you can always sell it and get another phone, though you may take a small loss. The One is amazing and although 6 months old I can hardly believe it will feel "outdated" in even a year....

I would stop waiting and just get the one. I came from the GNexus and the one is better in every way. faster, better screen, better battery, better speakers and sound etc.
My thought is that if there is a phone out I want I'll get it vs waiting. If you decide to wait for the next best thing you'll never get a phone. They come out so fast now.

Thanks for all of your responses! I think I am going to go ahead and get the one! I am in the design industry and I have been waiting for a beautiful android and the one is it! Going out this week and getting it,
The N5 will most likely not be anywhere near Verizon/Sprint so might as well get a One.

I would get a one now if it has the nokia microphones and I think they still carry this feature. One HTC runs out of stock for these you probably won't see them in any other device in the future other than windows phones since microsoft is buying nokia. I listened to a few comparison videos on youtube and those microphones make a huge difference in recording capability. Htc ones with these mics will probably have high resale value later on down the road.

Microsoft isn't buying Nokia from any source I've read... In fact from what I understand nokie is thinking of backing out of the partnership they currently have...

I bought the one...it was nice. I returned it and am waiting for the Moto X to hit retail stores so I can Czech it out. I like as stock of an Android experience as possible, and the X looks like the best choice in that dept.
With the One, the build is awesome, the screen is great and the front facing speakers are amazing. The overlay I didn't care for (icons still remind me of my 2.2 Thunderbolt) and I thought the camera was terrible (even in direct comparison to my aging S3).
But, I think right now it's at least in the top 2 phones on Verizon, and I don't think you can go wrong with it.
