I've just upgraded to a One X on Three (UK) from a HTC desire.
I've been wandering around town near some local masts and with the two phones on the same network.
The best signal I can get on the Desire is -65dbm which is stood around 100m from the mast.
The One X reads -83dbm in the same sport and will not go any better no mater where I go.
Has anyone else noticed this with theirs or is this a fault?
Thanks

I did the same as you, upgraded my desire on 3uk to a one X. Not noticed any difference in signal quality but not really tested either, though I have had my one X since first day of release.
I would say that the one X is a new phone that is sure to get many updates, signal is sure to improve in much the same way as our trusty desires did

I wonder if this is a limitation in software rather than hardware? I do remember the desire getting somewhat better over its lifetime.
When i got desire on release signal was bad but it got a few radio updates that really helped
Mod Or Die
Hey i was wondering what's up with the Beats on the HTC one X, is it just marketing or do you get beats Earphones with the one X?
Also does one x have USB on-the-go and a feature like S beam (300mbps)
Beats is just an EQ setting, no headphones this time round.
As for S-Beam it does have WiFi direct which is used by S-Beam anyway just no quick NFC pairing.
s beam claims to transfer at 300mbps, does the wi fi direct on the one x that fast?

Beats adds no value over a 3rd party eq etc. and is otherwise just a marketing have.
The headphones that come with the HTC one X belong in the Bin along with all the other stock headphone that come with any other device.
Think it depenfs on your carrier, I got beats with vodafone ireland.

Whilst I have binned every set of ear/head phones that came with something, I actually don't mind these earphones that came with my HOX from vodafone Australia. Naturally they don't kill good individually bought units but if one doesn't have another set of ear/head phones, someone could save some dollars and use these stock earphones.

I agree - my uk hox came with alright headphones (best stock headphones I've EVER had). I personally think beats sounds alright as well (even though it is just a software ting); , of course, you're an audiophile and can be bothered re-EQing for every single different song you listen to. I've produced and recorded a couple of albums so don't consider myself 'deaf' and but maybe I'm just not that fussed about studio quality sound when I'm on my way to work...
I think it can be taken with a pinch of salt, and everyone will have different hearing thresholds. There's far too many web sites that dive far too in depth into chipsets, and the like and basically rip a phone apart. Unfortunately the average consumer enthusiast like ourselves, will take this information on board and choose a phone based on these supposed facts.
At teh end of the day, if one sounds better to you than the other, go buy it. most stores have a live testing device or a few, so take your headphones and play some tunes on them. Only then can you decide what is best for your ears, not anyone elses.
Let's face it, we've come a long way from carrying a phone and separate mp3 player
Yea i doubt S beam can get to 300mbps but it would still be fast than standard WIFI Direct in other phones
Also GSMarena says that the HTC one X doesn't have Image stabilization Built in, is that true?
Vodafone austria here and mine did come with Beats by Dr. Dre

A friend brought an unlocked One X in the UK just a few weeks after it was launched and he did get the Beats headphones... I think HTC has stopped bundling the special headphone now.
As said beats is just dynamic compression with slight boosts to treble and bass , you can get the same and better with any eq app.

I'm running the UltimateKangBang Sense 4.0 ROM (which I really like) and was looking around and found the HTC A100 bluetooth Dongle adapter. I was wondering if anybody else had the Incredible 2 and this ROM and had any experience with trying to get this to work. From what I can tell it uses and codec to make sure only HTC phones can use it and by default the Incredible 2 doesn't have it, but with this ROM being from the HTC One X it should (I think) have the codec. Any help or comments would be great. I'm really tired of using an aux cable going into my radio.
Doing a google search on HTC A100 should bring it up

Yup cheaper, but you got a problem there. No remote for the buttons on the steering wheel. When used to those, its hard to get rid of
And the sound output is much worse compared.

Android 2.2 6,5" CAR Device
There is an Android 2.2 800Mhz 256MB 8GB 6,2" TFT CAR DVD on sale (800 USD to door in Russia) that I have bought recently and after some software installations it does deliver what I have wanted to have in the car.
Nevertheless there are a few major complaints to its performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx53a6N7_ws
As well there are several other minor things that would be great to change if possible.
If there is someone interested and able to cook a custom ROM for this device - I can send this device for free as a gift and for experiments. We really want a good ROM for this CA-Fi Car Stereo and the guy's in China don't seem caring enough.
I will check this thread once in a while and provide contact details for anyone interested in developing this device. It is very close to being a great thing for a CAR!
I have updated my email in the XDA profile so you can as well use this option to contact me.
PS
I Have a ROM update file (192MB) that came from the device vendor (dealer). I can send it out for revision.
The way to install this rom on the car stereo is to extract files to the root of a microSD card, insert it, switch off the device, then, while holding the screen tapped, power on – the device starts an install mode. When finished it asks for screen calibration and restarts with a new rom as after a hard reset (erases everything).
And there is the Parrot as well.
i've gone down the route of car pc etc, it was running win 7.
to be honest, they're wayyy to much fuss and aggro.
the sound quality sucked, the screen was **** (it was cheap - £250 "cheap") and broke shortly after a year of having it.
a decent head unit, with either apt x bluetooth dongle plugged in, or just the 3.5mm with hox is much much better. sound quality is way better, and i don't have to put up with some slow 800mhz cpu when all i want is to be driving whilst listening to music
just a fyi for those considering, its a huge cost, for not actually that much benefit (unless you live in your car)
CA-Fi Android Car Radio
I understand you if you only need to have music playing while driving, as well as some people who still prefer using monochrome cell phones. This is a matter of needs.
Regarding the sound quality of this particular CA-Fi device its surprisingly fine. I use its 4x45W out lines conneted directly to car OEM speakers (its a Chrysler PT) and the subwoofer RCA out channel connected via a 1KW Kenwood amplifier to a large Polk Audio woofer. With the available in this device GEQ and Bass/Treble settings the unit provides perfectly sharp and clear sound in the high+mid ranges for the OEM speakers that in company with the powerful sub make a really impressive rich and clear sound scene with no distortion at any volume.
This sound setup is very easy and efficient. Honestly, to my hearing it is not lacking comparing to my previous JVC Mosfet 192/24 DAC car stereo that was routed through amplifiers for all channels to Focal speakers instead of the OEM... That was too much trouble for the gained advantage. Again, depending on the needs. Trully - the sound of this Android Radio is fine, a sound of a branded Hi-Fi car stereo.
And if you had a Win7 Car PC setup that is quite complicated to arrange you should agree that this easy one-box Android PC solution is a great idea. It provides the music and all the tablet PC advantages. It's really nice after switching on the ignition to hear from your car that you have a new e-mail arrived, and enjoy other goodies like that.

yes, I considered the Parrot, but found it limited for modifications and with a too small screen. There is as well a Clarion at present under development, but it does not appeal to me neither. It is a concept from the Clarion Malaysia division and most likely will be limited for modifications; if it will ever be released at all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNQC56S5NFI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1TFiy2Dsdg
I really have spent some plenty of time on the web before selecting this CA-Fi device and I couldnt find anything better. To be honest I even went trough a mistake and loss of money by ordering an Android/WinCE dual OS device first (by the way its refferted to above in this thread). Result - I installed it into my dad's car (its better than his OEM 2003 Mercedes device anyway). But that one is wierd. My advice: be aware not to get one of those by mistake. For example, mine had GPS only in WinCE and 3G only in Android - so I couldnt have the Navigation system working along with traffic updates.... this spoiled everything for me.
PS
Important to know that CA-Fi offer a few dozens of versions of the same model with different front panels to match many of original car dashboards without the need of modifying the panels - the device fits in as a replacement for the OEM unit! As well for those who think that there are many different Android car stereos to choose from - this may be the same model with different front facing.
Like theese are the same device:
I have a JVC head unit in my car paired up to my Galaxy S III, and no matter what I do (tried a different SIII, resets, different music apps, etc.) the Bluetooth drops when I go to skip tracks from the radio (AVRCP). I have been forced to go to the CM10 ROM to get a reliable connection (although I'm stuck on a build from about a month ago, as some Bluetooth bugs have introduced there as well). Anyway, I'm eyeing up the Note II, but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm/deny if the Note II (stock ROM) has a different Bluetooth driver than the SIII. I hate to say it, but I actually really like Samsung's new interface, but the Bluetooth issue I'm having is a deal breaker. The other question is if anyone knows if the 4.1 update coming out for the SIII will have the same BT driver as 4.0.
Thanks!
had you ever flashed the KT747 kernel on the stock ROM of your s3? it changes the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers.
OR, if you haven't, maybe give it a try since it changes the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers.

I have not tried that. I would prefer to keep it stock, but that's something to try.
I thought I was the only one with this issue. I can relate as well . I too have a JVC unit and also experience the same bug on JB TW Rom. It tends to disconnect after I skip a few tracks and reconnects again . It does F*** up the mood when jamming to your music. At the moment im trying a different kernel to see if it does the same. But like you said CM10 doesn't disconnect.

I emailed JVC on it, and they gave me the whole "did you try a reset" business... Infuriating. At this point I just want a stock ROM that works. My S & S II worked perfect on the same head unit...
How can you tell if the stock S III and Note II use the same BT driver? Oh, and let me know what your experience is with the new kernel.
It's a few more days until Jelly Bean is released. There are changes to the Bluetooth stack in Jelly Bean. I'd wait and give that a try before getting a new phone.
I had the same problem on my JVC receiver. Had the issue with Task's ROM too. Would happen when you skip through the songs fast. I switched to an Alpine deck and it still has slight issues but not as much. I also have an issue of it disconnecting and reconnecting right after I make a call. Hopefully Monday will bring a fix for us Canadians.

Bluetooth has been messed up on the S3 from day one. I think it's an ICS issue because my gf's OneX has the same issues. I have a Mercedes B200 and I can't get sound through the car's speakers at all. Tried a bunch of different ROMs and kernels, including some JB (4.1) builds, all to no avail. I'm at this point waiting for 4.2.
I dont see any problems with my SG3 connecting my hyundai sonata car(2013 model) and honda CRV via bluetooth. No problems playing songs, phone calls and Google navigation.
Same phone didn't work with kia soronto SUV.
I feel the car bluetooth software has issues, not the phone software.

It could be, but I've used a Captivate, Infuse, & S2 on the same radios (two different JVC decks), and they've all worked perfect. Those all had stock ROMs (to start). I flashed CM9 and then CM10 on the Captivate & SII, and they still worked perfect. The only phone (stock/not stock ROM) that has ever had problems for me is the S3. My gut tells me it's a problem with the Bluetooth stack on the stock ROM, seeing as BT on CM9/CM10 works perfect on the S3 (other than the bass-less sound bug on the "stable" release and after - nice "stable" release).
Somebody on XDA should start hacking the software on these touchscreen head-units (they are update-able :good, then I'll be impressed.

Anyway, has anyone tried a Note 2 on one of the radios you had problems with? If not, I might try a re-post over in the Note 2 forum...

Well I bought a Note 2, SAME DAMN PROBLEM! I'm 95% sure I'm returning it, the only other option is to buy a different head unit. Anyone else have a GS3 and an aftermarket radio that DOESN'T drop the bluetooth connection when skipping tracks?

i have a kenwood ddx 418 and ive got no issues with bluetooth, best bet would be to go to a bestbuy and try out the display units there imho
Bluetooth audio for music and calls works fine with my Ford Edge...however there is no track information (avrcp) sent to the headunit which is annoying. No change with the Jellybean update either.

But are both of you running bone-stock ROMs? If so, I may have to start looking at radios again.
Returned it. I guess that's a $35 experiment (thank you AT&T for the restocking fee). Either the Sammy BT stack is too advanced for my basic A2DP radio (as in ALL BT radios), or the Sammy BT stack is just horribly developed (which I've come to believe is true). Now I just have to wait for an apt-x head unit to come out, then I can try this experiment again...
