As I read through the daily posts in the One X forum I'm increasingly finding more and more people needlessly moaning about all aspects off the One X and about HTC and that's fine I guess, people have issues and want to get that out in the open and get some feedback
but I think with all this negative feedback we who love our One X and HTC need to voice that and balance out the pros and cons debate!....
So this thread is for you to tell the rest of the world why you love and enjoy your One X & HTC so much!
Please don't turn this into a thread full of silly and pointless arguments
well we had threads like this
and i'm already the emabassador for the One X so i don't need to repeat myself lol
perhaps you should start
I remember the first time I saw the HTC Desire HD and I just couldn’t believe what a fantastic phone it was! everything about it was beautiful! ...and then came the One X and I new I just had to have one!!
What a phone! HTC made me feel that magic feeling all over again! It looks absolutely fantastic! the shape, the screen size, the colours, sense 4 and not forgetting it’s the worlds first HTC quad core phone! wtf QUAD CORE!?!! I went for the white version, I’ve never had a white phone before but white was created for the One X! there simply perfect together! ...these are just some of the things I like about the One X but I what do you like about it!?

this is lame..
with samsung dominating the market, their phones becoming easier and easier to root and custom rommed..
last time it used to be odin, now there's cwm touch for samsung phones and also hardware hacks that are influenced by software. even modems on samsung phones are flashable.
im giving htc one last chance, unveil a godly tegra 4 phone with superb camera (better or on par with samsung) and also NO wifi pin problems or anything similar. htc better keep their game up, or im going to jump ship too.
software problems are fine because they can be fixed. but hardware as terrible as the wifi pins problem on the hox? no.
if that happens again, i will definitely jump ship
edit : 1 week after the hox came out, the RRP for it was RM 2099. 2 weeks later, it's RM 1899. today, a 1 week old set costs a thriffling rm 1399 and a new set costs another thriffling rm 1649. the s3 stood strong at rm 1999 today and the RRP was 2199

Did you even read the topic of this thread? it's for people you like/love/enjoy there One X
One word: screen. Compared with the ridiculous pentile AMOLED s#it, the HOX's screen looks gorgeous. Sure if you have never seen it, you might think that a 4.7" 720p screen will not suffer from the pentile matrix, but when you look at them side by side, the difference is huge. And when you add the more accurate colors, the CPU which has games optimized for it, the comming of the cheap Tegra3 console which will drive more developers to optimize their games for it, the overall look and feel of the phone (I hate shiny plastic stuff) and you get a device which is truly a marvelous piece of technology.

All three issues already fixed in latest batches and software
Ill donate to have you away to the sgs3
+1
I like HTC because they are already working on jelly bean, that is the main factor of owning awesome smartphone - the updates, samsung lost this battle hard when they couldn't or didn't want to update galaxy s anymore - which is very nice powerful phone even today, probably wouldn't buy One X if they went the other way.
+2
I have not seen One X screen before i bought it, now i cant imagine more perfect screen quality, nothing can beat that.
+3
Just android and google experience, I wouldn't even look at One X if it had like windows phone rubbish, there are differences in companies strategy, Google gives me youtube, android system, mail account, search and maps FOR FREE, Microsoft is completely opposite, its not user friendly - just watch how bad METRO is for desktop and how many ppl complain - they are not listening.

Latest batches ? Am I suppose to look for serial numbers or HTC recall the messed up batches and fix them ? cause its a shame to have exchange 4 hoxes and none of them worth the money I paid for ,none of them feel like a quadcore ,all of them have had faults, repair centers a mess .......
I have had other android phones. Even though I love android over iOS, I never had a phone feel more sophisticated in hand over the iPhone. The HOX is the best phone I've ever had. It feels better in my hand over the iphone for sure! (without a case obviously)
My HOX is better than the IPhone because of the big beautiful screen! Just love playing movies, games and surfing the internet on it!
And of cause the mighty Tegra 3
To the people who are complaining: why do you keep *****ing over your stupid problems in a thread where the OP so clearly states that it is a positive thread ment for encouragement. Take your selfpity to one of the many threads that is meant for whining.

Obviously you're unhappy. Either take it up with HTC or move on. Either way I see little reason for you to keep behaving like a brat here.
I just don't get why people that are unhappy with a device and know they will never be happy with it, insist on punishing themselves instead of growing a pair and growing up.
My HTC One X rocks. I don't twist it like a frisbee so I haven't found this magical 'twisting' that some folks have whined about.
The screen is awesome. No yellow tint or dots. If I had found either I would not have bought it (Or for the slow people SEND IT BACK.)
Very snappy. I haven't rooted or flashed it, but it sounds like half the complainers may have had a bad flash or flashed the wrong version and are now pooping fireworks because they effed up their phone.

I was gonna buy it today but decided on a nexus for now and will get the S3 when it comes out. Don't mean to troll or anything. I know this phone is gonna be great down the line with dev supporting it, unfortunately for me all the issues reported turned me off about the phone. BUT it will undoubtedly be a beast in the near future. Enjoy your phone guys!

That's true that phone usually ship with some issues but they were so many bothering me with the one x. But that will all be fixed very soon hopefully HTC will take care of it, then the devs. As for the s3, it's not out or announced yet so let's see what happens.
Cheers. Good luck with the SIII. My first contract should be running out about the time thats released so I'm gonna grab one too!
How much cheaper did the Nexus work out at compared to getting a One X? I wouldnt have thought there was much difference in price? I know here in the UK the SII handset only, is only about £25 cheaper than the One X

Well I got the white version which was just a little more expensive than the black version ( I went for the white one because that's the color I would have chose for the one x). I got it for 500 USD even plus a TPU case that comes with a screen protector and an extra screen protector. All together plus one day shipping was 550 USD. I'm very happy.
personally my desire HD dint have any hardware issues, whatever isssues were there, were due to software bugs, However my SGSII had hardware issues and I went through two replacements before I got a somewhat acceptable phone.
The point is all the issues that you have been hearing about was also there for other flagship phones. 90% of users dont notice issues, only the fussy ones do.
For eg:
Display issues:
SGSII had yellow tinge, dark circle, screen burn and color banding.
IP4 had yellow spot
Network issues:
IP4 death grip
SGSII ****ty wifi, GPS
Heat issues:
SGSII had a lot of overheating issues due to the display as well as motherboard.
Personally all my S2s had reached 60C battery temps at some point or the other playing riptide
In a nutshell, although there may be some genuine initial teething issues with the ONE X, very few and hardly any are major. Its only that since its such an anticipated phone, things are being blown out of proportion. Personally I dont find the ONE X any hotter than the SGSII.

HTC one x , the one I've been waiting for
Same boat as you man. I'm not getting a nexus or one x, but holding off for the S3. Samsung has beautiful hardware, and the development of the S2 was amazing. I've ALWAYS bought HTC, but its time for a change, HTC has gone downhill. Your OP was in no way offensive though. There's just some people pissy that you're bad talking their little baby, and can't handle the truth of many of the issues regarding this phone.

This made me lol. Please keep your opinions to yourself when you haven't even owned any of the devices your talking about. I however in the last year have had an iPhone 4, sgs2, iPhone 4s, HTC sensation, HTC sensation xe, galaxy note and now HTC one x and I can assure you this one x is NOT hardware gone downhill! Is is easily the most elegant, well built device with the best screen by far out of all of the above. (yes, I am an addict and proud of it) which reminds me anyone wanna buy a sensation or a note?

Read the RULES FOR GENERAL sticky
Posting in this section because posters on this form have experience with both the S4 and the Tegra 3.
Currently I own an HTC ONE S. I love the way it looks and feels in the hand, the screen and battery life is decent and when its working correctly its lovely and fast.
BUT
I hate the chipping issues and there is no official word on a solution for the black version. The Internet and signal is sporadic at best jumping from 3G to HSDP+ and often not working at all i'm also getting soft resets when browsing the internet. I also hate that it can't play 720p youtube smoothly.
I'm thinking of complaining to 3mobile and upping my tariff and swapping for a HTC One X (international with Tegra 3).
I'll get used to the size and the added bonus of extra storage will be nice. The battery concerns me a little. In work I always have access to a charger so thats ok. But at weekends when i'm out and about just using the phone for the occasional call and text and nothing else am I likely to notice a huge difference between the S and the X?
Would you make the change if you were having the same issues as me? I've had two ONE S's both with the same problems so its not just my phone.
There have been no updates for the S whereas there have been at least 2 for the X. Also the ROM scene on the S isn't great with not many releases and I was hoping to learn how to do that and have some fun tinkering.
What would you do?
Thanks for any help in advance.
If I were you I'd go ahead and get the One X because you seem to want more power to play 720p smoothly without LTE and after reading the Battery Stats thread (which includes the One X international version), I came to a conclusion that the One X has pretty decent battery life. Though I'm already biased because I literally can't sleep at night because I'm thinking about this phone, I would still recommend it over the One S also because of screen size and quality. But before you pull the trigger and get the One X, you should ask around the forums and see if anyone else is using the unlocked international version of the One X on T-Mobile and if they're experiencing similar issues.
they said they changed the process of the one s, so idk exchange it for the one s, if it doesnt work go to the one s!!!!
but i think your meant to post this in the international one x section??? yes no idk
Wrong forum, this is the S4 One X(L) section.
That being said, the S4 version is still a fantastic device.

current One X owner, it eats h264 for breakfast and plays 1080p videos flawaless im surprised the One S can't play 720p, tegra games and the SLCD2 screen have to be seen to be believed
however we have serious list of random build quality defects right and there is a high chance you might get a defected unit, i made a poll and 28% out of 600 voters had a defected unit
im switched two phones so far each with their own set of build niggles, these devices are fresh out of the oven and HTC is yet to nail the production process

My advice: get rid of them and move on. Why stick w something that gives you so much distress and then feel unhappy?
That being said, if I were to get any of them, I'd stick around since they are such nice phones and I cant imagine me using Android on any other brand Sam*cough*sung*cough.
But again: it's just a phone. Dont like it dont use it.

Please don't be misleading when it comes to defective numbers, its natural that when people have defects they come search on a forum like this and when nothing is wrong they don't.
Also after years of reading these forums its clear that out of the thousands there is always a few ocd who nit pick at things that the general public would never even notice as build defects.
My One X is fine btw It's the longest I have ever gone without rooting and installing custom rom, I think because I really enjoy the stock speeds and sense UI re design ^.^

you are the one being misleading and fooling yourself and yes we have one perfect flawless one x and its really a piss off when it so hard to find one like it
One x is brilliant if you get a good one, but it is a lottery. Who did you replace the phone with for 15 times

Dust would drive me insane! The chipping issue on the ONE S is not good at all.
The phone plays 720p fine in a dedicated media player but it does not like 720p in youtube in the browser.
I do like my ONE S just wish it would work properly (internet and MAO coating).

The Previous poster is right, It's you who is being misleading.
I believe the defective unit rate would be more like >10% (Still bad), Remember people like to complain more than they like to praise, hence why you'd see a disproportionate amount of negative results.
also, I find it hard to believe you're on your 15th one X?!
Why not Give up at your 3rd?

I'm with basil3...to any of us here, the most minute little inconsistency will drive us mad and we will post and ***** and moan about it all day long, but to most people, such things don't even compute. It's the same reason "most people" buy iPhones...they just don't know any better and any old POS will do.
Fwiw, I also have a perfect OneX. Still stock and brilliant in every way. I also find it difficult to believe someone would keep going back to something that they found defective fifteen times...
get the XL if you are on tmobile..if you buy the international version you will be stuck with edge unless you live in an area that tmo has refarmed their 1900 spectrum to handle 3G (which I doubt it)

i didnt give up because i want a perfect one so badly! if thats not clear enough!
i bet your screen have so sort of defect and u didnt even bother looking

Were do I start......My first One x had dead pixels and dust under screen, 2nd big yellow blob on grey or dark screens, 3rd Vibration stopped working, dead pixels and the last one had 3 dead pixels.... The phone its self is fantastic but HTC's build quality is dire...I have lost all faith in HTC, Luckily the Carphone Warehouse managed to exchange my phone for a different model of the same spec, as I was still within 28 days and because I had had so many exchanges.
@Op
In all the 8 years I use HTC I must be very lucky once again my phone is 100% correct, no issues what so ever, I love the HTC One X.
I feel sorry for you, you have such a bad luck.
I was gonna purchase one x to replace my 4s. But not anymore.

Well, ok. A headache, for sure, but everyone who has had a defect has sent it back and got it replaced and eventually got a good one. Most people don't have problems at all. I know I don't have anything wrong with mine. Just try to buy from someone you can get it swapped out at easily so you can make sure you get a good one. The defects are annoying, but I have no doubt they will get worked out. It's all part of early adoption.
I haven't really paid attention to the defects threads, but are newer versions nearly defect free yet? Or are they just as likely to be bad?
On my 4th too, but so far (touch wood) I have a keeper I think.
1st was yellow stains on screen
2nd was unusable GPS
3rd was yellow spots (battery hitting 65C)
4th has lasted nearly two weeks so far (yay!)
It's not perfect - there is a small amount of light leakage at the bottom of the screen and GPS is not perfect, but nothing that would warrant an exchange.....yet.
Not sure if it is just the UK thats had problems, but T-Mobile confirmed when I returned my second that they had a load of returns - had to wait for stock to come back in before they could exchange.
Now I've had one though, I think I might find it hard to swap for any other phone, despite its flaws.
There will always be a sense of 'the phone it could/should have been' though - I guess they had to leave something to improve for the Two X
Only real remaining issue for me is the heat and battery life but I guess they are the sacrifices we have to make for adopting new technology.
Incredible to read, awful for you.
Touch wood indeed, hopefully it will be ok this time.
In the 8 years experience I have with HTC I never experienced such thing.
My previous devices, HTC Universal, Kaiser, Artemis, Blackstone, HD2, and now One X and no problem once again, amazing isn't?
I can't believe it, so much luck I have.
One thing you probably must admit, the service of HTC must be great if they try to fix your device 4 times in a row isn't?
And they must have done that very quick as well because the device isn't that long on the market (1, max 2 months?).
Honestly, I wish you good luck with the current device.
Edit; I see you both (Op and you) come from the UK, could it be possible HTC shipped some bad quality samples to the UK?
It's just a taught.

I had a Touch Pro 2 and then a Desire Z and had no problem with either of them, so it does seem that something went wrong with the HOX

Well actually the praise goes to T-Mobile, they are the ones who swapped without any questions - and without checking if they were rooted
The first 3 lasted about 7 days each - I got to know the delivery driver exchanging them quite well!

It's possible. It's also possible that they rushed the launch to get out ahead of the S3 and consequently cut some corners.

I think that's a tad harsh
The HOX could and should have been a stunning phone and there is still room for most of the problems to be ironed out with software updates.
I'm not sure Tegra 3 was the wisest choice though - It just seems to run too hot for its intended use in a phone - maybe we'll have to start getting used to fans in our phones!
I'd have been happier with an S4 and this screen and design (though I'd give up a few mm for a bigger battery). Seems like for once the US has the better alternative to us
Hmm.. I don't think HTC needs to push out anything to stay ahead of Samsung.
And those words are only assumptions isn't?
Fact is, in a forum there's always more negative feedback as positive, because people who are happy with the device don't have the need to talk about it.
I love the HTC One X and I don't have the experience like you have with it.

I agree with this completely.
I know more than 5 people with a HOX and none have had any problems.
My ONE X is perfect! Got it June 1st, not a problem at all. After reading all the negative comments a while back I did find myself looking for issues that I wasnt aware of but if you look so hard you will most likely find some tiny imperfection, these threads tend to make people do that.

no its evidenced, they are trying to compete directly with the market leader since the S2 took over the market.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...mobile-market-share-for-first-quarter-1078612
Which evidence you are talking about, who says they are trying to compete?
I don't read anything about HTC pushed out the One X.
Sure that other company pushed out a lot of phones I read in the article.
Aggressive commercials always work but they don't say anything for me, even if it's a market leader atm, it doesn't say anything about the product.

I don't get how some phones can get hot, mine never gets more than a bit warm even when playing tegra games.
What is different??
Me neither.
The games I play:
* Max Payne (NEW ! )
* Shadowgun THD
* Flick Golf
* Grand Theft Auto III
* Mini Motor Racing
* Sonic 4 Episode II THD
* Pinball HD for Tegra
* Air Wing Pro
* Galazer
3D very recourse hungry games if you ask me.
My device should burn playing these if I read the stories in this thread.

And about multitasking, I know it sometimes has issues but I think that's more related to the app then to the machine.
For example, I do sports.
So I listen to music, check my training sessions with Runtastic, have a bluetooth heartrate sensor connected, plus a bluetooth stereo headset, checking my Facebook etc etc, multitasking works pretty good I would say, none of the apps close.
It's incredible how much apps I have installed and still my device runs great with plenty of memory and decent battery consumption.

So you think its coincidence that HTC released an unfinished phone 2 weeks prior to the Galaxy S3 from the market leading company arriving?
Of course it was a rush job to get it out before everyone this year buys an S3, its the only way they can get some of the market share that Samsung dominate.
I disagree, it all depends what strategy you take.
For example, today we have HTC One X but who knows what will come tomorrow.
It wasn't a rush, the phone is great with just a few glitches in software, HTC will iron them out in the next update ;-)

Yea banging my head, no one in his right mind would switch from the One X to the iPhone 5
Screen is our equal but we have better blacks and bigger
Cameras are match but we have the fast burst mode and super HDR, i5 wins in extreme macro and video recording but has the purple haze issue
We actually win the build quality area due to their super fragile thin paint
Battery is better iPhone on during average use, half an hour difference in heavy gaming
Current iOS on the i5 have many bugs like our early firmware
Finally the x2 will come in February and we have a much better value for money especially considering storage
U want to try iOS go for the new iPad4, will cost u half lol

I showed him how dizzy fast the one x can open apps n multitask we agreed to call it nucleofast
Really they only have the GPU going for them, if ur interested in iOS the new iPad is much more impressive

It's like religion. If you ask your current religion if you should stay you'll get a resounding "yes" along with a million reasons as to why. If you ask the religion you are considering moving to if you should convert you'll get a resounding "yes" with a million reasons as to why. It's your religion, you pick.
You really can’t go wrong with Apple. They’re great products but with more confinement, more expensive content, and less flexibility. When my non-technical friends ask me what they should buy I hand them my phone or tablet and watch them try to figure it out. If after a minute they’re still staring at the device blankly I tell them to go Apple.

dont ruin it barryyyyyy
well i'm contemplating the new iPad myself, if i want to spend that money i rather buy the iPad and keep my One X
so no my advice was not zealous
my wife recently traveled abroad and staying there for a while, i started relying on my N7 for video/voice calls with her and then it hit me, no apple product will ever match android multitasking especially on a quad core processor
i would be talking with my wife, sending her files, browsing and downloading apps all in the same time effortlessly moving between them, i dont think iOS will ever get there
whats more important is how easy it is to handle it with one hand and use it
its funny but more n more i realize the Nexus 7 in particular is Google's hardware masterpiece, i can clearly tell you its the only Nexus they ever released with enough personality
my point is im interested retry iOS myself with the iPad but man i can't let go of freedom

You have 14 days to return an apple product so you could get the iPad 4 and return it if you dislike it.
No selling outside the marketplace please
Closed.
The purpose of this thread is to see how many people are still loving their One X.
I was fascinated when I bought it. It was the most beautiful piece of technology I ever owned or even laid my eyes on. I still love it. For some time a week ago I was really disappointed in HTC. Not giving us S-OFF. Not releasing Jellybean even tough they promised to. But then I flashed a really nice ROM and it kind of made me think my choice of the One X over SGS3 was right. I flashed ICJ and it's a new phone. I just needed a change, got bored of the stock JB. And seeing all the tweaks and options on that ROM just reminded me of how great this phone is.
Do you share my point of view or have you already lost faith in HTC?
I still love my htc one x but it doesn't changes the truths like late jelly bean and no s-off. I will sell my hox and buy a n4 just because I want the pure google rom and google support.
Why are you happy with your choice of the One X over the SGS3 when you are having a better experience with TouchWiz, the default SGS3-launcher?
Seems a bit ironic.
I am. Love sense and the hox. For me, the best phone out as of now.

I never said Sense was my choice. I really dislike Sense. I normally use stock JB, but I just wanted to change things up a bit. I chose the One X because my last 3 phones were Samsung and all of them had difficulties with hardware after a year or so. And because it looked a million times better and more high quality compared to the SGS3.
No. I'm getting a Nexus4 ASAP
Küldve az én HTC One X-emről
I've enjoyed my HOX, but I'm too excited about the Nexus 4 right now. It's been fun but it's time to move on.
I really fall in love with mine every time I watch a video on it or play a game i'm not that bothered by not having JB yet or that it's s-on This is the first android phone I'm really happy with just stock the only thing I would change is the battery and I'm gonna check at my local service center if they can hook me up with a x+ batt then I'll be happy with every aspect of it

Well, I was never in "love" with any phone I owned; but I am pretty happy with it as the main electronic device of my daily life, with the laptop and TV.
can say that it is the one which broke the Sony trio, but not unhappy or regretted with that choice.
Still I want the whole Android experience and some HTC experiences to be improved, but I will not cry for things I already knew before buying this phone.
Fiasco? Not releasing JB even promised?
I think you better change the point of view you have on some specific cases. Otherwise you will never ever be happy with any piece of stuff you own.
Wow, some interesting opinions here.
When I first got my HOX, I loved it, it got the WiFi antenna problem, I sent out in for repair, it came back with a broken case, I sent it back it came back with the screen chipped and yellow spots, sent it back and now I have a new HOX.
So for quite a while I was not happy, but now I'm in love again. I got a cheap silicon case which gives it better grip (I find it a bit slippery to hold as it is) also I notice the led seems to be in a better spot. So it good all round.
As for the infamous jelly bean, that's the icing on the cake. Can't live without Sense, so don't want to flash stock.
First Smartphone
This is my first ever smart phone which is also first android phone..
When first time i saw this phone back in March-12, the first impression was for me, forget the budget... if i have to buy a phone... it will be HOX only..
Forget iphone or BB, even S3 was not in options for me...
and later what happened is just a history now... i have flaunted this phone in my social circle as much as one can do with their Ferrari or Lamborghini..
and i am also happy because after seeing my HOX, few more people were convinced to buy HOX or HOX+ instead of S3...
And no need to mention that, i never switched to any custom ROM.. all pure HOX with Sense
Still happy with the HOX in some kind but honestly: Since i got me a Note 2 for work i touch the HOX more less and less.
after 5 months with my hox i still in love with it! amazin design and everytime i watch it i love it more!
no s-off, but why do we need s-off now? we have everything we need and we'll have it for long time, and if we'll have s-off too in the future it will just be better!
amazing hardware, amazing display and amazing sense! if i'm bored by sense, i install cm10 or just any other launcher! and i can return to sense whenever i want!
I hate my one x. Gorilla glass cracked at 1 foot. Crap memory for recovery hence no 4ext. Bad move on no microsd. Only thing good is crisp display and nice processor.
