Hi,
I do know that's more or less an old topic but well...I have a big dilemma so maybe you should help me out.
I'm owning a SGS3 int. and well I'm more or less fine with it; I choosed it over HOX mainly because of chance to change battery and winner cpu/ram benchmark (with 15/20% more in every damn test) and a bigger screen (not much but better then nothing).
The dilemma started 1 week ago when a friend of mine bought the HOX and well...the screen seems really so much better in HOX.
At the same time, despite few games lag on HOX, the Tegra has some optimized game for it giving some cool effect.
I mainly use the phone to watch movie and play videogames so, in some way, HOX win for me (at least just watching it) so I was thinking to chance my SGS3 for an HOX but I wanted to ear your opinion, hoping that will not start flame or fan boy reply.
I am really interested in opnions of who maybe tried both or who maybe changed his SGS3 for the HOX (like I'll probably do asap).
Thanks,
Max

There have already been similar threads like this one you should really go searching for them. Cause frankly everyone on this forum is sick of it.
tons of info in the One X mega information thread
and shadehh is right please enough with these comparison threads, they are against XDA rules
few moments now and this thread will be flooded by fools
to mods: we need a sticky please saying comparison threads are not allowed
You have a SGS3 so you already know its strengths and weaknesses. Your friend has a One X so you can figure out what its strengths and weaknesses are specific to the way you'll use it. Like others just said, there are tons of threads discussing the two phones. That should be more than enough for you to make an informed decision. Personally, I don't get "what should I buy?" threads. Everyone uses their phones differently and has different needs and criteria. Do some research and buy what you think is best. That seems more logical than making a decision based on the advice of total strangers.
well i had an amoled screen before and i got to tell u that i prefer the LCD. i am more with ur opinion but that wouldnt make me change the s3 is the battery .it is something that some times u want to have more than anything else.thats the only minus in hox the battery everything else i think are the same with s3

Actually we need some good discussion thread with protagonists antagonists for each phone where every one can say what it is they like about their phone (or disliked on the other).
Anyway I bought the HOX before the SGS3 came out but before the SGS3 came out I already knew Samsung would blow HTC away with its hardware specs but I own a SGS2 and a Desire so I know a bit about the difference in user experience and the whole time I used the SGS2 I was disappointed because i missed all those little Sense touches. Sense just is the best mobile user experience period, nothing comes close in software polishedness (not "even" ios), everything just works and everything is integrated into each other; eg. open the gallery app and see the galleries from your friends there, or browse contacts and go directly to their galleries, the htc keyboard is pretty damn good; I bought swiftkey x when using the sgs2 but I am using just the default keyboard; duplicate contacts are automatically merged in sense; and there is so, so much more; really there is only one touchwiz feature I miss in Sense and that's the smart alarm function....
If your thing is showing of quadrant scores though don't get the hox

But hasn't this been done? To death? It's all just opinion and there's rarely agreement amongst owners better yet any type of common ground that would hold up in a comparison. Name one feature of the SGS3 or One X that doesn't already have commentary running on it. I don't know whether I'm a protagonist or antagonist (maybe I'm both?) but I'm tired of the circular debates that lead nowhere, don’t change anyone's opinion, and consistently end with the thread being locked. Yesterday's One X vs. SGS3 comparison thread covered race and sexual orientation. Do you really want to go there again?
There’s already a 160 page SGS3 vs. One X comparison thread in the i9300 forum. Why doesn’t everyone use that as the “official” comparison thread? I guarantee you anything anyone wants to discuss has been covered at least a dozen times there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652250
because for each and everyone it's a different discussion, everyone has their own things they think are important and their own things they think are less important
Thread closed.
Comparison thread are finish.

So, for some reason i was just lurking around the Desire forums... they're seriously hurting, they are way behind in terms of development, compared to the Nexus One. Does anybody know why this might be? Since they're basically the same phone, why isn't the Desire (so to speak) neck and neck with the Nexi?
I know that the Nexus One is like the biggest badass of all the phones, and quite frankly i don't know why i'm even asking this, but i'm curious.
Because we have Cyanogen, Kmobs and many other amazing devs
It was the same if you compared the hero with the G1 and Mytouch. I think it's because of the framework of HTC and the HTC phones aren't that open as the nexus. this is why i like my Nexus
I owned a Hero and damn the development on the OS was pathetic the only one who really worked on Hero was Paul (modaco) the others did there best to. but it was nothing i even couldn't put CM on Hero. When the 2.1 came out it was ported to G1 but the hero had to wait, wait for a long time. there where some 2.1 releases for the hero but never worked 100%.

Nexarse one is a half decent phone, wouldn't say it was neck and neck with the superior desire but its ok considering they are similar. The problem is htc. I suspect a deal has been struck between google and htc giving the google phone a slight priority in terms of software release. Either way it don't matter massivley, because if people want froyo on there desire, they can get it. The same as all those nexus one users who wanted sense on there handsets,(but obviously on a lesser phone
By the way, hows that trackball holding out?

What are you, five? "Nexarse" is sure the height of witticism, just like "windoze" and "micro$oft." Sorry, boy, but the two phones are nearly identical except yours doesn't have a noise-canceling mic. Your fanboyism is wasted; it's like stamping your foot and whining that the HTC Hero is better than the Eris when the two are actually the same phone, with identical internals.

An ex-Apple fan by any chance? Your attitude's similar. And I've yet to hear of anyone's trackball falling out, ahaha. "Lesser"? Paul O'Brien recommends a Nexus over a Desire--he's got both--and I'll take his (much more knowledgeable) opinion over an immature fantard's any time.
I personally don't think development is going that badly, you have to remember the nexus one has 4 months over the release of the desire and it not being a world wide release doesn't help, hopefully things will pick up more when it gets official releases in the USA
Mod Edit: Post removed please consult the rules take that as a warning.
So... five?
Btw, the OP didn't mean it as sarcasm because this thread was originally posted to the Nexus One forums. Durrrrr.
Thread cleaned, show respect to other members rules are there to be followed.
Back on topic.
Easy, the nexus one isn't as locked down as the desire. And because a lot more people have a nexus one.
Sendt with Swype via tapatalk on my Desire.
I would have bought the nexus if it had been available because of the reasons above.
But it wasn't in Holland until now, I really do like Sense and all the fluff it adds, i'm not particularly bothered about banging a Rom onto a new device as far as i can tell it's not broken.
So only my posts get deleted, ok.
Let me try again in a more respectful and polite manner.
My initial response was to what I ASSUMED was abit of a tongue in cheek question. It got a tongue in cheek response together with my answer. It was simple sarcasm. It appears however the op posted this on the nexus forum and it was moved by moderators. The op probably did not even realize it would end up here. My response was wrong to the Equally disrespectful response that I got and apologize to anyone who saw it.
i dont know why dunbad is in trouble here for posting something that was intended to be funny
since when is it that if you post a joke you get some pompous person sitting in front of his computer with a thesaurus, dictating some sort of speech against the inhumanity of a sense of humour?
geez some people really need to lighten up
nexus one and htc desire, pretty much identical hardware wise, the nexus one has a noise cancelling mic, the htc desire has a bit more ram
nexus one runs stock android meaning its highly customizable
htc desire has htc sense which works really well, and is soon to get froyo like the nexus one
the development in the nexus one forums is SO great because youre all trying to get sense on your phones, lets face it it just takes one look at your development section to see that, what does the htc desire ACTUALLY need developed? its already got root, we CAN put whatever we want on, most people dont because it works perfect already. Froyo's readily available from the devs here, IF we want, and anyway we're getting it officially in a few days, so in all honestly, software and development wise, the htc desire wins hands down
easy as that
The nexi is great but I've noticed an issue with the "nexi." That doesn't seem to effect the desire. If you post a thread on xda nexi forum, the post somehow disappears, somehow reappears elsewhere and a little one liner appears in the subject field that says "MOVED". Its really odd. It happens loads. Go check out there general forums. Software maybe? Hardware? A bug perhaps? Don't know but either way the desire doesn't seem anywhere near as badly "effected."
People are saying this or that's better about either phone, but at the end of the day I wish I'd had got a nexi, in these difficult financial times I could have saved some money.
But anyway, I thank cgrec, but I don't see froyo coming to the desire officially anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that this has everything to do with handshakes in smoke filled backrooms between google and htc, froyo will be a few months away yet.i hope I'm wrong.
Hey Guys! I just ordered my new Htc One X and am going to receive it in a day or so! So I would Like to ask you soem questions:
1) Guys is there A simple Rooting/modding Thread for The Htc One X?
2) I have heard that Htc phones are hard to root Is that so?
3) Should i stick with Sense or Root my phone As i did with my previous device (GIO)
4) The Sim Pin Thingy! Is there something else that can open the tray
5) Any Solution To the Frame Rate Problem ?
6) Which one is sexier White or Black? ( Just need two or three opinions)
7) Is there a free Marketplace or any good site to Download Tegra 3 games I'm 14 so yea I dont like to pay for my Games .
So thanx for all your Replies If i posted in the wrong Forum Plz Admin Shift it As this is unfamiliar Territory
You need to be better at using the search feature as some of the questions are already well answered here.
1. There's a sticky for this. You cannot miss that.
2. Probably not, but it may get harder unless HTC relax their stand. A Galaxy Nexus is a better choice if you want to tinker.
3. Your call really and comes down to personal preference. The new 2.15 rom should bring a performance boost to the sense UI so should be quite good.
4. A straightened stapler pin should do or so should any thin object of that type.
5. Not sure about this, but i have read that there was a bespoke fix to increase both frame rate and data.
6. White - Unless you work in a coal mine...
7. No idea but this is not encouraged here...Best to read forum rules, Rule 6 in your case in particular.
Lastly read read and read the posts as there are a lot of people contributing and discussing both experiences and solutions...

Yea I went through ton of posts but thanks for the sticky It will really help Me But i think I am better Of with Stock sense and About 5) My friend's one x Has Crappy FPS But wat can u do Oh yea Sorry for Posting that . i read the Rules After Posting And another Question Does Your One X Lag Of any sorts and what amount of ram is free Cheers
No problem.
The stock International One X does have a bit of lag here and there and is quite unusual for such a device. Mind you like I said, this is probably due to the enhancements missed in the stock version and the latest leaked 2.15 rom does put an end to that misery. As with RAM, I have about 200MB free.
I have a few widgets that need updating and therefore sometimes the screen transitions stutter but I am quite content with the fact that a fix is on the way from HTC. Besides I felt that the Android 4.0.4 release in general made that experience better, so the new HTC OTA should work on the same lines.

Damn Your Htc Takes Up lots of Ram ! My Friend's Take's Up around 680 and He is left with 320 mb Ram . I think it is because Of Sense But still 800 mb Used! That is too much ! But ill Be waiting for The Sense Upgrade to 4.1 to fix all of this
The main reason for maybe doing this, is I'm sick to the teeth of lag on the S3 when opening from the start or especially when coming from the net then opening either texes, contacts or calls which is a 2-4 second lag, for such an expensive phone it's a pita.....and I've did eveything I've read about ie turning off S Voice, and animations ect, nothing cures it.
How good or bad is the One X+ compared the S3 ?
What do you expect to hear when you ask that on a HTC forum?
Also, comparison threads are forbidden around here.

Just a decent answer and some advice would be a start
I think this is a personal preference issue you have to solve it your self. Don't depend on others do your homework and search the speciations of both devices and for your personal use.
My opinion is hox+ I like the HTC devices sand hate the Samsung devices

Yeah, but there are frames drops for few seconds when widgets are reloading and you're starting to scroll. Nothing major, though. I guess it's governor (stock kernel) fault ; d

... for different reasons.
1. We do not accept comparison threads because they nearly always end in flaming among fanboys and will always be biased by the fact that they are posted in the forum of one competitor, except...
2. ... they are posted in the entirely wrong section (One X instead of One X+) and therefore off-topic
I used to be proud to call myself a nexus *****. I had a gnex,a n7 and used to fantasize endlessly about the nex 1, but couldn't afford it because I was in college then.
When dev rascarlo introduced the term nexus ***** for us crack flashers, I adopted it without question, because I believed thats what I was. I hated tw with a passion, but I always loved the look of sense, but kept myself from buying the one x by saying to myself that it's a slow device heavily bogged down by sense, multitasking is **** on it, and the screen is bad compared to my super amoled.
Then my wife broke her galaxy s. N took my nexus. So being short on cash right now, I had to choose between the onex, nexus 4 and the note 2. Note 2 being too pricey, and nexus 4 being too brittle,I chose a 32gb hox, albeit with apprehension.
I AM IN LOVE.
I instantly fell in love with the build, the optically bonded screen is mindblowing, sense just plain works, beats sound is super awesome, camera is light years ahead of my nexus and everything is just do damn pretty. Btw viperx rocks like crazy. After 2 weeks of use,I also finally solved my battery woes. I just can't express how much I love this phone, it's like something I can just plain enjoy, nothing else, no ifs no buts.
I KNOW I AM MORE THAN A YEAR LATE TO THE PARTY, BUT HELLO Y'ALL!

Its not easy to hold myself back when Sammy launches a new Galaxy, i mean specs are mind blowing usually. But after holding the plastic brick in hand and just looking at fisher price colored menus, choice is clear. HTC starts to make sense.

I just got a free upgrade from my insurance company from the m7 to the m8. I'm pretty pumped because I've watched a TON of reviews and comparisons for this phone and, besides battery life, I quite enjoyed my m7 for the time I had it.
I am just curious what are your opinions on your M8's. What do you like? What don't you like? What problems have you noticed and then found a fix for? Which rom do you prefer using? (I was using Venom)
And anything else you think a new M8 user should know.
Thanks

First off, I didn't know all of my questions were already in a thread. So there's that.
Secondly, I know it's what I think of a phone, but before I buy a car, I'd be stupid not to ask someone who has owned one for a few months and has toyed around with it.

I believe he thought you made 2 threads asking the same question (duplicate posts, or cross posting), but it looked like your thread was actually moved here from the "General" section, as I'm pretty sure I saw it there earlier. Although similar content (opinions on the phone) can likely be found in several other threads.
The M8 is a wonderful phone. I can't personally speak of comparisons with the M7, since I basically "skipped" a generation and came from the One X (EVITA). But I've seen folks mention that the M7 had issues with blue or purple tint to photos, which is not an issue on the M8.
I love the front facing speakers, and overall build quality. Nice display, and responsiveness is very smooth and snappy. Not really anything I don't like about the phone.
Some folks complain about the camera (MP), but I think many of them are obssessed with meaningless spec numbers as opposed to looking at the actual quality of the pics that are taken. If you look at the picture threads, they basically speak for themselves in terms of what can be done on this camera. The dual camera is a kinda cool, if a little gimmicky.
