Hey gys, i have a T3 HOX, and today i picked up an S3 form orange as all i had to pay was about 80bucks with one of our company lines. I got the pebble blue one, i had the white one in my hand but its just too much white plastic for my taste. I honestly think the HOX is a better built phone, just from holding it in my hand. BUt out of the box the S3 seems a lot more snappier. DO you guys think this will be addressed in future updates??Im waiting on some updates before i root and fash the phone, to give HTC a chance to improve things before i tinker with it, heck out of the box i thought my CM9 SGS2 was snappier. I do think programs load quickly its ust the user interface that lags a bit. Please et me know what you uys think as i can sell my sgs2 and keep both the s3 and HOX or i can sell one of them. M just waiting on a good time to tinker witht hem before i decide. BTW i do love the camera on the HOX.
Regards, and thanks!!
I had the same feeling with my S2. I missed the deep blacks and it felt smoother. Looks like Sense 4 has sometimes a tiny lag even with Ultra smooth Rosie enabled.
After a few days my eyes adjusted to the HOX blacks and after seeing the amazing resolution and great whites I forgot about my SGS2!!!
About the lag try Apex launcher it eliminated the lag for me and now my HOX flies!
How do you rate the SGS3 screen vs the One X? I'm curious.

I had both Smartphones, and I think the HOX is the better Phone. The Display is Sharper and the Colores are much better. The brightness from the S3 is much lower.

I've been a tad disaapointed with htcs sense and multitasking etc. Hope they sort it out on the new ota. Although I know they won't for multitasking apparently the browser and sense launcher are considerably faster

android revolution stock Rom based on the leaked new base, ultra smooth Rosie, die hard supercharger patch and Franco kernel = the way should have released the One X in terms of smoothness, speed and gaming performance
IM actually waiting on the 4.0.4 OTA to see if that improves anything and if so then ill flash a Rom based on the official OTA. CAuse i know XDA and its members are surely able to unlock the power of that T3 SOC
I just want them to fix the hardware issues

Like you wanna say Touchwiz isn't crap? The most sucky stock launcher on all android phones.
@Op,
What´s S3, is that a HTC phone?
Probably it's very hard for you to search the correct forum for your device.
A tip, the SEARCH BUTTON is on the top right corner of you screen, do a search and count how many of these threads already exist.
And maybe reading the Forum rules wouldn't harm you as well, they are on top of every forum.

Also using this test base, totally different phone. Also turned off window and transitions effects, in Dev options.
One of the bugs listed in the S3 forums says that tounchwiz eats so much ram that it keeps crashing and resetting. So Samsung have there probs with there products just like HTC have with there's, all they both need is time, and things will be fixed

I have a Galaxy Nexus (same screen technology as the S3) and a HOX, and with the two side by side, GNEX display looks really bad. You can see the pixalization of the pentile screen (density on the S3 is less than the GNEX so it will be even worse) and the white is covered with dots. True, the black is better on the SAMOLED, but if you want to look at a black screen, don't switch your phone on . Colors are definately better on the HOX and IMHO the overall experience of the screen is better.

Touchwiz is ugly but it's functional and doesn't bog down the phone unlike sense
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I would recommend anyone using HOX to change the launcher to Apex/Nova/etc. The difference is huge. 0 lag. No problems with Live wallpapers, etc.
Not to mention that the S3 can apparently burst into flames & melt... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=79312161&utm_source
I also got to see the s3 yesterday, my thoughts were "what's all the fuss about". Side by side the screen is not a scratch on our hoax and the build is horrible compared to my galaxy tab let alone the hox - it felt cheap, a bit like a kinder egg toy to me.
The short time I played with the phone overall the speed seems ok - not that much difference to the hox, but the touch wiz is horrible to say the least.
The only real advantage is removable sd card and battery, also Samsung know how to push hard with advertising thus all the frenzy.
I was going to chop my hox in and get the s3 but I'm not going to bother now and instead wait for the next generation but this time I will make sd card and battery removable a deal breaker.

Make the jump dude. But you got jb. Why would you want to swap that for. Anyways word of warning. Next time search dude loads of threads about what you are asking and most of them got shut down.
Best thing to do watch YouTube videos and there are threads here giving you reviews also.
You need any more help PM me

With JB currently being available for the nexus there is nog real world difference in performance. I'm now running a miui rom on my HOX which makes it much faster than stock, but still slower than an nexus running JB.
I would wait out some more development for the HOX (official camera hack, Good JB port, Tegra 3 optimisation from the nexus 7 etc.) before switching phone's.
Give it a good month or 2. Will also save you some cash since the HOX is still dropping in price.
funny, I'm about to buy a Galaxy Nexus and go away from the One X for the sake of quicker updates and a bit better battery life with the 2.000mAh battery pack. I'm sure I'll miss the One X build quality though, HTC has done some really nice work there..
but to answer your question, i found the camera to be better on the One X, and of course the build quality is a major factor, the unibody design feels really nice in the hand and looks super good.
So. I've got a friend who tonight just offered to trade a 32gb HTC One X International for my AT&T 16gb Galaxy S3. I've already got two friends saying it's a good trade, and I'm inclined to agree because of the Tegra 3 and the LCD screen. Just curious to see what anyone else thought and if they'd give a thumbs up or down.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Yes its a good trade. Tegra 3 and 32 gb, but you will NOT get LTE with the hox, is this a deal breaker?
Also the battery life on the hox is a lot less than the s3, but if rooted there are a couple of roms that utilize battery use very well.
Another good reason to trade is the latest sense, its brilliant.
Check the hox thoroughly, make sure its a perfect runner before you swap.

Don't now about circumstances in us, but here in Germany its not good, better to sell your galaxy s3 on ebay or Craig list and buy hox, it'll give you some extra bucks

Check what your network uses. GSM or CDMA. If you haven't, go read some reviews. I've been debating getting the one x international myself but I've read the battery life is god awful.
Been holding out on getting a new phone since I wanted one with a decent physical keyboard and other specs. Since HTC decided they don't want to anymore and I love sense its hard to look at anything else. Can't stand AOSP stock look or touchwiz for sure though personally.

Your out to date, mate. The battery life with last stock rom is pretty good. With 4-5 screen on time hox can live for a hole day. Gaming will cause some battery drain, bur even playing 1,5hrs Sega virtua tennis my phone gives me 3hrs screen on time.
P. S. : typing on 4,7 display with swiftX keyboard is such a pleasure after some time it collects your type of lexicon and it becomes really hard to use something other than that (ok, full qwerty is still nice on PC, but everything alse kind of suxx)

I just got the galaxy S3 on at&t and I chose it over the One X (despite costing $100 more than the One X) because the features seemed really cool. S-Voice and other little things that would make life a little easier. Stuff like s-beam, s-voice, various motion things, swipe to screenshot, etc. Google now is so much faster than s-voice though and pretty much everything else can be achieved with third party apps. So now I'm wondering if I should return the s3 and get a One X or not.a
Any comments or suggestions that can male this choice easier?

Read the forum. It's not like there aren't 100 other threads regarding this same subject already.
Oh, and see my signature.
S3 would be be an ideal choice than HTC One X.
Ok i will change it up. HOX no way, I but HOX+ I would say that is worth entertaining when it is released.
The only thing worth having in the HOX is its screen. It uses the same cpu, less memory, lower battery, no sd and bootloader locked (I believe it is still the same but not 100%.)
HOX+ will have better screen, less ram, faster cpu and same size battery as S3. Also I believe the HOX+ will come out at either 32gb or 64gb.
Hopefully that helps a little.

Unless I hear the One X+ has an unlockable bootloader on AT&T, I'm keeping my sgs3. The reason I switched to this phone was the bootloader shenanigans.
Had the One X with Rogers for 2 months then went to SGSIII. Nuff said
I switched from a One X too. Gs3 hands down better

I too came from a Hox, but I switched bc I couldn't unlock the bootloader. The thing I loved about the Hox was its beauty, it was the most beautiful device I've owned. I didn't like the screen honestly bc I could see the grid on it (drove me insane)

So if I'm gonna root it and install Cyanogenmod or maybe AOKP, is the GS3 worth the $100 premium?
I say yes, absolutely. Especially if you also keep in mind the the OX doesn't have expandable storage. We have great development support in the community and your phone will perform better than you thought possible.
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB.
My gf has the gs3 and I have a one s that has the same chip as the hox. I have no idea were the gs3 has more power comment has come from. Out of the box it was just hitting between 4000 and 4500 on quadrant. My one s out of the box was 4500 and up. Running sense on my one s and a over clocked kernel to 2.1ghz I'm getting between 6000 and 6500. I put her gs3 on task and knootesz aokp with the 2.1ghz kernel and I'm lucky if her phone hits 5000. Even in linpack it only gets a 45. She also has been asking me to make her phone snappier like mine because it just pops apps right open. I honestly am kind of bummed because I recommended the s 3 because I thought it would be fun to mess with and pretty powerful but I've just been unimpressed, I was actually a little jealous that she got the gs3 because I thought it would be more powerful than+my phone . I will admit though it has a beautiful screen.
Edit; if the boot loader thing is a deal breaker for the hox, the flash GUI app takes care of the problem

Absolutely. For that extra 100 bucks you get a removable battery and sd card slot, not to mention no more racing against htc and att to find exploits. The One X is as locked down as an iphone.

Right, Okay.
Another reason I've kind of been wondering about the HOX is because I've had two phones stolen already–just this past week it was my Skyrocket, which prompted the upgrade–and since the HOX doesn't have a removable battery, it seems less stealable.Because then they can't remove the battery and the phone can be tracked, right? Or am I wrong about this?

Hello guys. I am a N4 user and have been since October. I had a HTC one S before this and loved it. I decided to buy a N4 16GB to see what the hype was and I'm not sure if I'm happy with it to be honest.
I am a HTC fanboy really. Had the HTC Desire when it came out and loved it.
What I am asking is stepping down to HOX will it be ok. I mean the N4 does a lot but the Camera is terrible. Would I be silly to sell my N4 and go back to a HTC handset.
Just looking for honest advice really.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It would be really god damn silly.
You'd have tons o' problems: bad battery life, no S-OFF, etc
Never do such a horrible thing, One X is previous generation and already getting oldish...
I, however, would switch to N4 any day if I had the chance.
TToivanen is right
The N4 is a great device
HOX is great as well, but not for developers
I AM an HTC fan boy myself , but to be honest I wish I had N4
so
HOX:
-bigger storage, 32GB
-sense (if you planning not to flash AOSP ROMS)
-camera is slightly better (some might think)
-tegra 3
-better design
-beats audio
N4:
-AMZINGLY FAST UPDATES
-though they are both 1.5 quad, but N4 is way faster
-2 GB of ram
-better stability
-louder speaker
-faster WIFI (I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT)
-better battery life
I would choose N4
Nexus 4 is better than the One X unless you're looking for a slower device.

Think you'll find everything you need there.
In my opinion, the phone is perfect in terms of build quality and performance. It has quad-core processor and that Tegra 3 chipset makes it wonderfull for hardcore gaming. However, that 1800mAh battery brings all those things down. 720p display and quad-core with that battery... If you use it with 3h+ display on you will have hard time making whole day with one charge.
But don't get me wrong! The HOX is decent phone and amazing for entertainment. I just wish it could have more juice like HOX+
