Thinking of buying HTC One X

Hey,
I'm thinking of buying this phone, and was wondering if there was anything else about it that I needed to know from a user point of view (apart from WiFi hardware issues)?
Many Thanks,
Kanay

The phone is very nice, both in looks in and in speed and performance.
But, if you are a type of person that uses the phone a lot, then you should know that the battery life isn't the best. It's not bad, but you will have to charge it twice a day if you play a lot of games.
Otherwise it's a brilliant phone with very nice support from talented developers and chefs..

Search! We have plenty of threads like this.

HTC ONE X , very Good Camera and Beat Sound , But battery drain fast and Overheat around camera area,also after play game for 5 to 10 minute become hot ,if u want to install custom font the only thing is u have to root or unlock bootloader, if u can accept is ok , service center is very bad in SG, i already done one to one for 4 time , that is really bad , but after last one to one is stable , compare with S3 camera and sound is better than S3, but any way i like HTC one X ,

buy it1, is awesome!!!

You should probably buy the AT&T one, since the S4 is faster than the Tegra 3

You need to know that hox is best cell phone in earth. You will love it.

I'm also wondering if I should I get the HOX. How much screen time do you guys get? I currently get 6 hrs of screen time with my atrix so I was wondering if you guys get more with the HOX.

3-4 hours. Check one of the many battery threads.

With stock unrooted, I get 4h screen and 18h standby. With custom I get 5h. Remember its a massive screen and I have the brightness pretty high.
I think its the best phone right now. If you absolutely need swappable battery and microsd get Samsung s3. But its ugly, the screen sucks and it doesn't sound som good.
I tried both and went for the HOX.

how to assure that i wont have the screen flickering issue and the wifi hardware problem before buying it? i looked into the local shops and all of the have SH/HT 25 models. in the store how can i check the screen flickering or whether the set has wifi hardware issue. please help. in deep dilemma.

When I got my phone new, the battery was flat.
After 3.5 months, the soft buttons died,
When I picked it up after repair, battery was flat.
You might find it hard.
There is a thread with instructions for checking in store, in General section, I think.

Best phone I've had this year. It's difficult to judge the wifi problem in store or on early days as it could occur at anytime. The flickering screen issues have been fixed with the 1.2.9 kernel and I've not experienced any flickering since.
Most of the newer batches should be fine but the odd one can have QC issues.
Your in the UK as well we have rules which allow us to return an item back within 7 days and you get a full refund. So if you get a dud device your eligible for a refund or replacement depending where you are thinking of buying it from. Amazon give you 30 days which is excellent.

The phone is amazing. It is fast and beautiful and it has a lot of people making custom roms and features for it. The only thing you should be careful with is the screen, it get's scratched somewhat easy. You should buy a screen protector and apply it on the phone as soon as you buy it.

[Q] [advice needed] desire c

hi,
A friend of mine wanna buy a droid and asked me for advice.I recommended hTc desire c.
I have got few doubts about the phone
1.Camera quality(5 mp fixed focus camera,a little bit worried about this)
2.600 MHz CPU
3.Battery life
If anyone here used this phone plz post ur personal review here! Thanks in Advance

I bought this phone two days ago and am very disappointed. Let alone the camera, the 600 MHz CPU is so slow. The screen is no way like the HTC phones as you have to press an icon multiple times. I havent been able to find any files to flash this phone. (there is one on Shipped roms, but its a Verizon one). The battery is OK
Basically, its a HTC Wildfire in a different shell.. I am gonna sell this phone either today or tomorrow as its a heavy let down !

Have you tried asking in the Desire C forums?

Camera isnt too bad,although fixed focus can be annoying at night, but I seem to get average quality pictures from it. CPU is slow at times but not horribly slow, good amount of memory to. Although I'm going to carry on using my desire for now. Battery life is also quite decent to though, get through a day easily maybe two.

This doesn't really make sense?
Are you asking a question?
Or telling us something?
For the battery, not much you can do could try getting an App such as Juice defender but alot of the time they chew more battery than they save.
For your router, buy a new one?
For a quicker browser experience I would try Opera
Hope I helped.

Congratulation, although I don't consider Nokia as a bad brand and actually I fell Nokia is more like a RIM and focused towards business users.
About your wifi, if the signal is consistent than perhaps like you said, it's your router fault.
Also, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579392 (You better start from last pages).
Also, you need to be aware roots app won't work without it. For the core controlling wait Jelly beans it seems HTC had a similar app already bundled with it.
Good Luck

I just wanna know did u guys have any suggestion for me? And im using juice defender but i need a good program for closing apps on ram... On task manager i need to close programs one by one...

1115$ = 2000 Turkish Lira and its very much. Smartphones at turkey is almost twice as expensive as usa or uk(thanks to taxes). As a turkish person I always buy smartphones from non-gsm and trustworthy places:good:

Hayırlı olsun.
For the battery, there are some simple thing you can do; but first you have to clarify what you mean by "what to do with the battery"?
Do you wanna treat it well to have a long lasting battery over months/years, or do you want to use it economically so that you can have a longer battery life for every re-charge.
The first one is easy. Never let it shut down due to no power, always re-charge before %10; and charge it more frequently during the day, not draining it all and recharging back to %100.
The second one is tweaky and after years, I've lost my faith since the time wasted to learn and use that battery saving stuff and also the brain damage, is not worth it. totally my own opinion.
Just try to use Wi-Fi is you're at home or at work for long periods, swtich to 2G during those times, lower the screen brightness as much as you can and shut down vibration where possible.
One thing though, as the word spread about HTC OneX+ arriving, most of the sellers have reduced the price for One X, around 1600TL (which is roughly $880). Did you but it from 2000 TL recently? If yes, that should better be bought on an agreement with Turkcell, if not then you paid a little more =)

Agree with all the battery advice above. This is good information.
Would also add to steer clear of task killers/ managers. Your phone will manage apps itself (though I know a lot of people think it is a bit aggressive on the one x). If you are constantly going in to shut down apps, your battery life will actually take a hit. Just leave it to settle down and do its thing.

Armenian here Speak turkish fluently, Parents from istambul also.
I have two HOX's both international, One is in repair, my backup though is wonderful when it comes to battery life, I also agree those battery savers, and task managers really dont do anything in my opinion, its more trouble then its worth. My HOX thats in repair didnt do very well with battery, its rooted and all, but battery really sucked, but when I get it back I'm going to do a bit of digging. My backup is amazing, currently 14 hours and still have 63% battery life, and I have really done nothing with the brightness or anything like that. The battery will really depend on your usage. If your going to play alot of games expect the battery to drain rather quickly especially with 4 cores. I dont play many games really, and heavily mainly talk, text, and play games maybe 3 or 4 times a month. From what I've seen, the battery doesnt take too much of a hit until you go past roughly 15 mins of playing an intense game, at which point the cores start to heat up and the constant screen being on which drains the battery quicker.
Also I would suggest dont use too many apps that sync in the background, thats another battery killer. And as great as live wallpaper might be, thats another one that drains it. If you use data as someone said try not to and use the wifi, I dont use data ever and have shut it down and just use wifi.
But based on my two Hox's I have to say I think build quality of the phone has a big part to play in the battery life, but I am going to do more testing on this once I get back my other phone from repair.

This, I would have done exactly that if I was to buy a hox at this time. Though I got mine a few weeks before they announced the hox+ and now I am stuck with a 2 year contract with t-mobile. 56,- euros a month and all I get is shítty internet and no connection around my school. Yay :victory:

Hemşerilerimi Görmek Güzel;
i started save my battery so problem looks like fixed now trying finish my battery its still have %28 power
now i started scare about not waited for one X+ but i read somewhere X+ have actually same benchmark points with S3
after nokia E-71 this phone amazing... i can do anything i can imagine... its like little PC with more functions
brose speed amazing... its goint to be heat when i use but its not annoying... i installed samsung's whistle sound for Notifications
now planning install few games and enjoy the Tegra 3
funniest thing i have some people trying compare their iphone 4 or 4s with my phone... :laugh:

Battery life on android is way below the performance on symbian. But you have much more flexibility and apps on android then symbian.

You remind me the good old time with my Nokia phones (big like a brick) that could last 1 week with one single charge :angel:

Killing apps to "free RAM" (why do you need it free?!?) and preserving battery are two mutually exclusive things. My advice is to stay away from any automated task managers and accept the fact that the only way to preserve battery is to use your phone less.
BTW you could've come to Bulgaria to buy the phone - it would've cost you much less

Battery life is killing me

Hi all, I bought my brand new original HTC One X 3 days ago and it got the newest android version for it, JB. But there is a big problem and it is the battery, it's just horrible to see such a awesome phone with a battery life like that. Does anyone know which things I can do to have a better battery life? I already have the almost lowest brightness, no live wallpaper and no antivirus on the phone. I also use the official energi saving function that comes with jelly bean but it doesn't even make the battery better at all, not even a little bit. Please help!!!

You will find your phones battery life will improve, mine wasn't that good for the first few days.
When ever i get a new phone i always charge it over night & then when its off charge leave it till it bleeps to be put back on charge, do that for the first few times as i find it gives the best life.
Mine is very good now

can u say how long your on screen time or general battery life is? but at the first few times/days/weeks it's really bad but after few charge cycles it will bet better because the battery has to improve itself with the information the phone gives, you know? wait and charge and after a week or so it will be really better...

Or if you just disable google now you will be good. If you disable google maps aswell your battery life will be perfect. Something is wrong with those two
That issue is just with jelly bean

if you play more then 1 hour or so then that's not so bad because if you play a game or two only from full charge you can reache 2- 2,5 hours...with games like THD games or other which make a lil bit more heat or so ....and if you play only games like solitaire for this time or so ...then that's really not normal...you know that in the hox are 4 cores and 8 gpu cores, and therefore the battery isn't like in a phone with 2,500 or more mAh because our has only 1,800 mAh ...if yo uwant to disable it press long home button and then you can press the menu button and there will be settings in that you can disable google now and for the other google things just go in settings then apps and then all apps and there you can click on any app ! but don't deactivate system apps! and if you click on them there will be a button deactivate and yes press it and it is disabled

I usually play Dead Space but not for more than 20 minutes because the phone heats up like hell -.- And I disabled google now hope the battery will be a little bit better, but any more ideas how I can get better battery life please

With my HOX, I found having brightness at 60% or less made the biggest impact. Also, disabling wifi when not needed made a huge difference. Decrease the time between auto syncs, and also check for wakelocks. Might have an app waking the phone a lot.
But I do understand where you are coming from. The battery life was killing me also, so I bought a Note 2 as a primary phone and now use the HOX as a music player for which it is outstanding haha

the first time the battery is always bad ._. just wait some days or so and it will be better...and look with betterbatterystats which wakelocks you have then you can see which apps might make the battery life also more worse...

Thank you very much I will try them, the battery seems to be a little bit better when I turned Google Now off

Pretty obvious, isn't it? Plus the Snapdragon S4 Krait has a better manufacturing process (I think 32nm) compared to Tegra 3's 40nm process, so it's more efficient and less power hungry.

Not true. Look at the RAZR Maxx. If Motorola can put such a huge battery in a thin phone, there's no reason other manufacturers can't. Also, it was definitely possible to put a bugger battery in the One X, but HTC just didn't do it. They instead released One X+ sometime later and claimed better battery life as a 'feature'. That's just wrong, and very similar Motorola releasing the RAZR, and then the RAZR Maxx soon after. The phone should have had that battery since the start. The only reason I can find with Motorola is that the RAZR is slightly thinner for those who want it that way. But the One X and One X+ have 0 design difference.

My point was in comparison to old phones.it'll be a long time before we get as good batrery life as on old phones. Reason being smArt phones just do to much nowadays..many forgetting it's actual purpose
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Just don't forget that the T3 is a pretty "old" chip, it needs a lot of power.
Nevertheless, I think the One X isn't that bad regarding battery life. It will drain quickly if you start gaming, but you should expect that. It's no gaming device, it's still a smartphone. Of course you can play your games every now and then but if you expect you can game with that thing for hours without getting it to heat up or charge it in the meantime, you put your money on the wrong device

[Q] Should My Battery Go Down This Fast ???

Hi,
Yesterday I bought an HTC One X and over-night it was charging and when I took it of charge at 11.30an to go out to my nearest costa to meet some friends. I was just surfing the internet, facebook and answering a few texts. Come 1.45pm my battery was down at 19%. Im just wondering if it should go down that quickly. I know One Xs have 1800maH batteries which is bad as I was used to a Note II but sadly had to sell it.
The phone is very nice, screen is great but battery lets it down. Any ideas ????
Thank god Costa had charging sockets haha!
Thanks

if you bought the device brand new then it's unusual, if it's used, unlocked and running some custom rom and kernel (which, when you ask a question like that you have to specify in your OP) then it's likely that you need to flash a different kernel. On another note there could be a hardware issue, battery or cpu, does it get hot or laggy?

My battery today all on 3G. Brightness Dim. Insercoin. Can't complain.

Hi,
My phone is used but only 6 months old and I contacted HTC and they said a cache partition to reset it or something so will give that a try.
Thanks Guys

Here is a couple of things I'd do and you'll be able to see exactly whats happening.
First:
Download an app called "Wake Lock Detector" from the playstore. HERE
Second:
Download BetterBatteryStats HERE
Have some normal use for a day or two, let it settle etc, then at the end of the day CHECK BOTH apps and see what comes on top.
You'll be able to see which apps / services are draining battery, if it is apps using a lot then remove them unless important.
If apps don't seem to add up to the amount your using, it could be a battery or your voltage limits.
Hope this helps.
