So i have been having my nexus galaxy for a couple of weeks and just download codename rom and i have to say its the best android phone i have so far. Then I see someone wanting to trade mine for a new htc one x. Specs wise theres a difference but I need your guys input if you guys would in a heartbeat or give input if I should or not. To me I am thinking jb>sense ui but on the other hand they said for one x, jb is coming out and jb on a quad core sounds crazy.

Don't do it. The nexus may not have the same specs as the one x but it delivers a superior experience due to vanilla android vs HTC sense. That and JB may be the last update the one x sees where as the nexus probably has few more in line.

1) Trade
2) Sell for $500
3) Rebuy Nexus for $350
4) PROFIT!
Disclaimer: I'm joking.. kinda.
Edit: Assuming the one x is unlocked of course. Locked phones go for significantly less.

Before having a GN, I was using an HTC panache.
I still think HTC make great device but if you love flashing and to have the latest Android, you should keep your GN.
Unlock bootloader can be painful and risky. Customs ROMS need more time before being ported because of some proprietary modules...

Who cares. If you don't like flashing and want the latest and greatest. Then get the galaxy nexus.
If you like to flash, then get whatever.

Do not I actually gave a brand new white att one x for a nexus because its a lot better the nexus just rockssss I love it and wouldn't go back
There's just so many reasons its better
The nexus is kind of like the iPhone line but now better since it will keep getting updates and there's only one released every year plus its unlocked and has great features
Trust me I'd you want key lime pie don't even think about the one x
Quad core and dual core are the stupidists fughts trust me quad core or 8 cores doesn't mean jack if you can not have the latest on it

I previously had an HTC and now a GNEX.... I personally wouldn't go back to their products unless you plan on using a custom rom. I dislike their software.
I would do it and try it. And of you didn't like it. Someone out there will be willing to trade it for a gnex. Just like you are!

Yep..try it for awhile. U dont like it, sell it. Still some profit there. Still,its kinda fishy the guy just want to trade it like that...maybe not a business wise guy

Personally, I wouldn't even do the trade for sale and profit. The quality control of the gnex varies somewhat. Mine has a good screen, overclocks well, and seems loud enough. IMO, if you have a good one, keep it. If you have a not-so-good one, go for it.
Trade it, sell the one x and but a GN again(profit). Or wait for the new nexus

Any rumors/idea when is the new nexus coming?
You guys are right. I have a perfect gem galaxy nexus with no problems with perfectly calibrated screen, and battery is amazing. I am currently at 43% percent battery life with 17h so far with almost 50 percent screen on time just with random kernel and no display tweaks. Going to do this guide to make it even more better http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599025 . I am astonished. I told him I am going to hold it off for now. I am prolly going to look for another galaxy nexus to buy and then do that and maybe do a side to side comparison. Then make profit .

basically this. then you can even get an accessory for the Nexus after. you know, if you're into that kind of thing.
Do you like listening to music on your phone? If so, steer clear of anything that HTC have made in the last 2 years. They have a serious design flaw in the way they've been shielding their audio chip set, so there is a real problem with line noise. You get this low hissing sound in the background of every track. I had to ditch my One X cause it was giving me headaches.

Lol, well I came from an EVO 4G LTE myself (One X variant) to the galaxy nexus. I love everything about this phone...but I really miss the camera on the HTC, along with the SLCD2 screen, and kickstand haha.

which phone do you like better? list the pros and cons of each device and decide which one you can live with.

Why are you asking us? Let's be honest, you're going to do what you want in the end no matter what we recommend. And this being the nexus forum you already know what your going to hear.

I had the one s. Had a desire HD then got excited and got the s
Hardware wise great.
Screen felt small. Its way to thin. Development is nowhere near the x or older HTC devices.
I have had the x also in between though I had a nexus. Traded in for an x.
Now back on the nexus lol
Be honest its your choice but if your trading go for the x

I wouldn't trade it. The One S is a decent enough phone, but I would never trade my Galaxy Nexus for it.

I wouldn't trade my Gnex for nothing out except the Next Nexus!
I was at the club the other day and my friend was there with his friend! He has an HTC one s, we swapped phones and "played" with them for a few moments. I've ready played with the one S before but his reactions to how smooth and fast my nexus was, was priceless! He also mention how he liked the on screen buttons and size of the phone itself...
Just my little story, if I were EVER Trade for a one S, it would be 250.00 + mint condition One S for my mint condition White nexus....yes I know. Overkill. Lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Answer for these "should I trade" threads are same. Yes. Why? Well we all are Gnex users and we're Gnex users for a reason. Because we love it and it is a best phone in our opinion.
What does that mean? You will get a pretty biased answer, I'm gonna be honest with you.
You should really do a research on the phone and see if you think it'll really fit your life more than Gnex you know? Everyone's opinion is different.
Hell no, after coming from a Nexus you will see all pixels on the One S. I compared my nexus to my friend's one s and noticed all pixels, and see pixels every time now.

With newer phones out like Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Note II, and the new One X+, and upcoming LG Nexus 4, and new Nokia Windows 8 Phone.
Are you still happy with your One X ? Or do you feel its outdated or behind the times already ?
For me, running CM10 ROM, I find this phone amazing still, and top of the line. The screen is still a reference benchmark, when newer phones are reviewed, the One X screen is always discussed with newer phones, that days a lot to me.
Opinion ?

It's great, but I'll still want a Nexus 4
absolutely...still waiting for JB update though...
Reason I ask, is because my Wife and I nerd one more unlocked phone to finally leave Verizon, we live in the States ( Chicago ). I wanna go prepaid plan, no commitment, no contract, and will save big $$ each month too. I bought the international One X in white off eBay and love it. Now need one more phone.
Was either thinking another international One X off eBay, or wait to see the official price on the LG Nexus 4 ? If the Nexus 4 is close in price to a used unlocked One X then I will go Nexus 4. Or I cooks get the current GSM Galaxy Nexus brand new for $349, I already have the Verizon Nexus, but it won't work on new plan we moving too, and the battery life blows on this Verizon Nexus.
What would you recommend ?

"Not happy at all, still haven't managed to replace it after it suffered from the wifi antenna issue. Stupid HTC, never buying from those people again."
I had that issue, after reading others dealings with the repair centres i popped it apart and tweaked it myself, that was 4-5 months ago... been perfect since. Glad i did.

Hi,
I wanted to buy the nexus 4 but since yesterday, i know the nexus is not coming to my country (belgium). Since i need a new phone (my htc desire is running on it last breath) i wanted to review my options. The best phones available here are the s3 and the one x or one x+. I would like to make it a nexus via a custom rom. I know it is possible with all three but is one better than the other? l have heard that the exynos soc is a pain for developing for example...
And the buttons on one x are more stock them s3.
Looking forward to your answers!

I bought Galaxy Nexus off Amazon Germany for 325 euros two months ago. I also know a colleague of mine who arrogantly ordered a nexus 4 off the internet yesterday and expects it to be delivered tomorrow.

Maybe for the following reasons.
1. OP owns a Desire
2. Asking this on any of the three device specific threads will only yield bias to the device it was posted on.
3. Ran out of ideas.
Hey at least its not another best rom thread.

Exactly! I thought about posting it on the two forums of the devices in question but i figured they would recommend their own device anyway.
And yes i have a desire now so maybe other desire owners are thinking about changing too

I would prefer..
Nexus 4
HOX+
S3
In that order. The price point + longer software support just screams value for me. Just look at the support Nexus S got.

I agree, except pay attention to the nexus 4 forums first. I think the early release has a few problems. Wait for the dust to settle about the nexus excitement, then if the reviews are still good, buy it.
I would choose one s.

can we start calling it the two x? can we make it a new thing? pretty please? lol
Well, what I always do is buy the successor then decide which one to keep a month later...this year the One X has grown on me....so it may be a keeper for another year
Probably give it to my partner... She's been eyeing it up ever since I got it. I'll probably go for a Nexus 4 before my contracts up and I'm fairly certain this will be my last hTC device even though I love the build quality and design. That is unless their policy with regard to s-off/updates becomes a lot less sucky.
My next phone would be HTC Two X, then HTC Three X and....
Yep same. Stuck in a 24 month contract but I'm already starting to think about a new device. The One X is great but I'm pretty sure this will be my last HTC. Again, the s-off nonsense and laxidasical approach to releasing sources coupled with being spoilt with the openness of Nexus have all made me reconsider

Much better than my dad's Samsung Galaxy SII.
I think I'll get a nexus device for my next phone. I actually really wanted a galacy nexus but was spec struck by the one x... And quicker updates wpyld be nice. That said it would be interesting to see what they come up with next.

Like other people said when I'll change my hox I'll jump ship and probably buy a gphone. The problem is not the s-off itself but the warranty matter that comes without it. It's a pity cos htc always made really good phones and I'm with it since the good old htc magician with windows mobile 2003.
