I wish i read the one x forum on xda before i purchased my one x instead of just reading glorified reviews!
If i look in general section or the Q&A section...they all seem to be full of complaints from Wi-Fi, screen build quality, scratches, sound quality and so forth and i must say I've not had the same experience with the sgs2!
Have i seriously made a mistake not buying the s3?
How many people would be willing to change their device if the money was no problem or straight swap hypothetically?
Or put it another way..would you buy one x again?

think of allllll the people who got the one x. the ones that haves problems AND wine about it is strictly resyricted to a very limited number, where as the rest and most of us enjoy our phones and have zero problems. no worroes man., ull be quite happy with urs as HTC have tightened quality control
at this moment in time, between the lte2, note, s3, and lg 4x hd, id drfinitely buy 1x all over again.

Yes, of course.
Don't let the fact that a few early adopters have had problems (and been very vocal about it) have any bearing on what you think. Unless you're having problems with your device it's irrelevant.
I've not really started using it yet but was just trawling around the forum before i started to root etc and finally move over as you can see I'm still posting using my s2!

I got mine (Tegra 3 unlocked) for $300 off Kijiji and am loving it. It's completely issue free. WiFi works 100%, same with the data. No regrets here.
I bought mine international/unlocked from NewEgg and it's perfect, none of the flaws and issues I've read about.
I think we're seeing something very similar to the iPhone 4 "antennagate." I had an iPhone 4 and know several other people with them and none of us ever, not even once, experienced the "death grip" with them. And yet, the media was full of reports about how the iPhone 4 suffered from dropped calls constantly and bad reception.
A few reports of problems will always get blown out of proportion and make the product look like it's defective by design, even when the problem is really just a few specific devices which had pretty run of the mill manufacturing flaws.
You have nothing to worry about. Pick up a One X and join the "World's Best Phone" club.

Everyone has issues to begin with at least with the one x you safe in knowledge it's not likely to explode in ur jeans pocket like the s3 did. HTC one x has a big brownie point atm its tegra 3 n all top game developers are jumping on board to try and harness that raw graphics power we have

I have wondered this for a while, would it be possible to return the device to Amazon for a refund? If they asked why, would I get away with blaming the overheating?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
yes you would probably get away with it.
If I were you, blame all the common problems that they can't immediately test out of the box, screen occasionally flickering, overheating, software crashing, small scratches etc and they will take it back.
But, if it was truly faultless and perfect, I would seriously sell it at a profit on ebay.... I'm on my third one x now and even this one has faults. I'm still maybe toying with the idea of returning it and getting a note but I'll miss sense UI so much as well as hating touchwiz.
I'm genuinely serious... a truly faultless HOX is extremely rare.
I returned my faultless Galaxy Note to Amazon, purely down to the size. It was giving me a sore thumb due to the buttons being awkward to reach when landscape thumbtyping.
It has to be within 28 days, and the phone must be unmarked, and all original packaging included.

Just wondering if one S owners or international x owners see same defects
Batt life screen flex bleed thru camera rattle screen flicker etc....??
Is HTC still stopping sales or going to just flat out fix all the issues with new batches ?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
You'd probably be better off asking this in the One S forum
I just assumed since all the xda followers live for this xda discussion...by now youd think... Many have browsed one s and x forums and blogs on this defective crap ...and out of curiosity they probably look into the one s reviews also so... I'm sure it's safe to say one if not many one x owners would..know the answer just cause you don't... Posting here or there makes no diff.... One s owners would have to dip into one x forums to know of our issues to compare ...
Thanks for makin me get all indepth!

Well what you can do now is making money out of spare parts that are still intact.
Like someone here searches for some GSM cable. Someone needed some even smaller part. etc.
Just change the thread into "Selling spare parts out of my bent htc one x"
Sleek, slim, and light weight breaks.
This doesn't.
Personally, I'd rather take my chances with sleek, slim, and light weight.
R.i.p.
By the way, what phone is that? Cat?

Nah, just for the construction industry. It's a great idea though for people than need a heavy duty phone. Can you imagine a One X or SGS3 on a job site?
"The Caterpillar CAT B10 is expected to retail for $500 off-contract when it lands at the end of May. We don’t think it will come with matching accessories, such as helmets and gloves, though."

I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I'm guessing that a larger area + lighter materials + less depth + less reinforcement + edge-to-edge glass = tons more broken phones. The latter is causing SGS3's to drop like flies.
Holy geezus!
Oh man that sucks.

Have you tried turning it off and back on?
J/k. Sorry. I know that feeling
did you transform into the Hulk and your phone broke like that? damn boy you must have a concrete ass
on a serious note ouch buddy i had to cover my One X eyes so it doesn't see that and has nightmares.. poor thing would start shivering if it could
TBH I was disappointed when HTC decided not to have an Aluminium shell on the One X, my old Desire HD was a lot more rugged. I bet it would of still worked in this situation
Oh damn, that picture hurts my eyes and my heart. :crying:
Hi all
Im new here and i just bought an htc one x white, wanted to ask you if do you prefer using case or not ?
sure man,you don't know what will happen to your phone,my phone has fell lots of times but has no single scratch on it ....so I really recommend you getting one
no signature....problem ?!?!?!
I drop my phone quite regularly and now it has a few small cracks, but only around the edges (luckily), as a result I now use a case. However ugly or bad it feels I prefer protection over looks/feel.
It's like a condom... in a way....
I don't use a case but got one for my wife's white HOX. It's the official HTC case (the one with the holes) and I can say that it's design and quality is light years ahead of any third party cases I bought. Unfortunately it's only in white and would look weird on my black HOX.

thanks guys for the answers, for me its better with no case, i can hold my phone better work with it easier and feels more like a phone

Love it ..
But back to topic. I regret not using any case. After 3 weeks, I dropped it. Now I still carry this scar, A dent at edge of the phone.
Hey everyone first off if I say anything stupid I apologize in advance.
So due to the Verizon sale on the HTC one I decided to leave the S4 behind for more then one reason.
First being that the build quality is piss poor at best, and second I can't get my AOSP fix.
My only questions are
1. Has anyone else gone from the s4 to the one? If so any regrets?
2. The most important question: is there any chance of me getting a HTC one that I can't flash Roms on. I.e. upgraded firmware etc..
If everything checks out I hope to joining this community soon!

Oh word. I myself much prefer the feel and shape. With a one there's a wow factor for how solid it feels. It really does feel great. The diff in screen size is hardly noticeable. While the one screen pops I do envy how the s4 looks like there's no depth. Speed is about the same. The camera on the one is better IMO but both have their strengths. Battery on the one is better over all. And the no physical buttons is a plus to me. Plus the volume and power buttons are hardly noticeable unless your using them. I suggest using santods tiktak ROM if you like aosp. Very smooth and stable. Still in beta too so means it'll just get bettet

I wanted the One before it came to Verizon, so I got the S4 instead, but switched when the opportunity presented itself. I'm pretty happy with it. While I enjoyed the S4, the build quality doesn't compare to the One. The S4 has a better camera, but the One has awesome speakers. They really do have their own strengths and weaknesses. Put a KitKat ROM on your One and go out and enjoy it!

Hope to see here you. The SG4 was a "fun" phone, I guess I'd describe it, but the HTC One is a real mans phone. No cheapy plastic, HTC Sense is great, I personally love it. I do miss the feeling of, oh hey I can just toss this phone around, with the HTC One, it's just too perfect, so for the first time since my first smart phone (HTC Eris) I put a very light, clear TPU case, which I absolutely LOVE. Don't have to worry about the metal getting dinged up on the sides, (it's a very soft metal, if you check out scratch videos on youtube, you can see on this one side the metal is VERY light and susceptible to scratches, I had no case for like the first 3 days, I went to pick up the phone and accidentally like push it forward (it was on a table) and it pushed into a lighter.. to my surprise I now have a small scratch from the tip of the metal lighter. That's when I went and found the case. I couldn't believe it scratched it, It was such a soft touch to the lighter.
I went without a case on the sg3/sg4 and both are still 9/10 condition.

I think the HTC One is better. You can't beat the boom sound speakers, and it's so easy to root and s-off. There are so many great ROMs available too. Can't go wrong
