I wish everyone would make a post like this in General before they buy one so that we can really turn this section into a clusterfuck of pointless topics.

as per the poll on the Q&A section goes, it looks pretty grim - 1 outta 3 have complained that their devices have flickering problems - imho the number will worsen with time as maybe not all of them have started heavily using the device and this issue seems to show up later on.
So - i would suggest not to buy it. I was going through the same confusion as you.
- and this thread should have been in the Q&A section as made obvious by the above poster

No problems
I have had one for a while now. It's on rooted t-mobile uk firmware, but I haven't had any problems. It's a nice thin phone with battery life a bit better than my desire had.

my first one had a dead pixel, little green dot only visible on black had no other issues, got a replacement and it's perfect; no yellow dot,screen flicker, flexing screen and so on.

If you get a good one then yes, it's a great phone for sure. Unfortunately I am waiting to get my 4th replacement on Monday.
Buying one now? Personally, if I knew what I know now, I'd probably wait a month until they have had chance to get through the initial stocks and fix the issues and get a software update out. Up to you though, if you go for it, hope you get a good one

I'd wait if iwas you. Htc really need to sort out the faulty units. Theres far to many of them!

Yea i'd wait a bit longer until they solve the problem because theres definitely a problem

My One X was just delivered via Fedex. I will be honest and tell you that I am a little worried.

Yes, I would get it beast phone

You came to the one x section to ask whether to buy a one x lol
Answer = yes
Although s-off is not achieved but is in development (hopefully they find a way soon)

I've not had any of these so called faults. Screen is good, no flicker, no yellow, no lines. Battery life is as good as I expected for a huge screen, signal is better now after the 1.28 software upgrade.
Very happy.
I would suggest getting a sim free handset though rather than one branded by a network so any future updates you will get quicker.

Cant blame someone for being nervous with the flickering issue. I just ordered one from Newegg and I have to admit I will be looking it over very carefully for faults!

HTC warranty service is a pain in the ass too.........guy I talked to was an idiot
Talked to him about screen flickering and battery problems, didn't sound like he cared one bit.
He put me on hold to figure out what to do I'm assuming and was just like......is the screen hot? I'm like uh yea, it hit 60 degrees celsius. He told me I was charging the battery wrong and it would lead to all these problems. In my head I was like wtf? is this guy on crack? He told me to refer to the manual and charge the lithium ion battery according to that. If I still had problems I would have to send it in to an HTC repair and wait 2-3 weeks.....**** that, he didn't even address the screen flickering.
Would I be able to get a full replacement from them instead of having to send it in for repair?

when i had a dead pixel i just took it back to o2 they gave me a new one on the spot , but they will most likely just replace it and still take 2-3 weeks.

I miss mine! Had to return it due to a weird screen surface issue
And to answer your question: Hell yeah! Buy it! I love it and I am confident that with updates and support from HTC and out Devs this phone will be a monster as it was meant to be.

HTC One X - HTC's New Hero Device! Mega Information Thread

I had a HOx for a few weeks and he has valid points. I showed friends the pictures I took with the HOX and they all said my HTC Incredible S took better pictures than the HOX. It was on latest 1.29 firmware.
And not only the videos are choppy, the whole UI experience is choppy, like 20fps. It is really depressed to see that the hava a full GPU, quad core power and android 4 and STILL aren't able to manage a smooth scrollinge experience (like iphone scrolling). And I know people see this but choose to ignore it, game menus scroll smooth but the actual OS lags...
edit: I had 3 HOXes, the all act the same (hardware issues ignored)

But to sum at that huge thread, I'd say it like this;
If you get a fault-free one, it's a fantastic phone.
BUT....your chances of getting a fault-free phone are much less than they should be.
If you want to take part in the HTC One X crap-shoot, please be prepared to pursue HTC with warranty returns until they get it right. Do not unlock bootloader until you are happy with it!

Agreed I got a perfect hox and it such a good phone, it sucks that most come out doa. Take a look at the best picture you've taken you can get extremely good pictures from it, most people just point and shoot which doesn't give any camera justice.

From my experience with sgs2, we had plenty of complaints about it. but boy the complaints list on this HOX are by far more.
shame on htc to do this
I am not going to give up, i might wait for htc to push new batch before I buy one, may be next month

thx for ur reply m8, how is there batch date, or serial sequence to decide the goodness of the device? I want to check before taking it home

I didn't feel like listening to 15 minutes "whining" but compared to the sgs2 I got when it was out the hox actually already is pretty good, battery life is as good as the sgs2 after a year, no screen defects/flickering. I only have one issue though it could be considered quite a big issue and I really hope it's a software issue and it is that the sim card isn't recognised anymore and consequently the hox stops working as a phone until I reenter the pin

all in all, The HOX is bit of hit an miss. am I right ?

No, it's the best (smart)phone I ever had, I love this phone much more even than my Desire.

The One X is a fantastic device and you're MUCH more likely to get a working version than a faulty one. The only reason it LOOKS like there are loads of faulty ones is because people who have a fully functional, working device don't start threads complaining about it
There's a poll on here comparing how many people have a working one against those who have a faulty one and guess which came out on top by quite a considerable margin... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082&highlight=poll
Also, as this is a developers forum, people who have faulty devices are going to stumble across devices to try and find a fix. The problems aren't any way near as widespread as it seems.
Of course, defective devices shouldn't be reaching customers at all, but there's nothing you can do about that I'm afraid

No, its worse then that ... there are people reporting stranger lies

After optimising and disabling some apps that were sucking my battery down (which was my main gripe about this phone) I am more than happy with the HOX. The camera is sweet, games/emu's run great and the screen (even on 25% brightness) pops out. Well worth a purchase.

you can not go wrong with this phone mate. best option is to find a store close by to you which you can go and check the phone for yourself before taking it away with you. explain your fears to the sales assistant and see what they say and if they let you inspect it. but anyways if you get a perfect one you are in business and you could not ask for a better phone. i really hope development picks up more in our forums as this deserves nothing but the best.
s3 is another top handset but i feel there is more to the one x. development for the s3 will be huge. but think about this.
you are using Touchwiz and you are thinking man this is ugly. you want to change it but you get fed up with the launchers as well. you wish you could try sense but you can not as it is hard to port to a sammy phone and second no one has done that. were on the One X not only you have sense but we have now cm9 and you can use Touchwiz launcher as well. so you are getting yourself a beast of a phone mate

I think some people have good luck and some have bad. I've had mine for more than a week and it's perfect. However, I've accompanied someone to collect a replacement for a faulty unit. Guess what, went back home to charge and the red light is not showing on the replacement unit. I've also heard a lot of complaints ranging from battery not charging, unit not turning on, squeaky phone edges.
If quality control doesn't improve soon, and with all the SG3 hype, One X might find itself sliding down a slippery slope.

Why we love the HTC One X!

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.

Should I return my HOX and buy an S3 ?

Hi everyone!
Well, i just bought a HOX, and it has 1 dead/stuck pixel an one "hot pixel".
Its not a big issue, i can live with it, but im really worried on getting worse problems in the future, like the loss of signal, wifi, etc.
While my original idea is to keep the phone because i really like HTC sense interface, and the phone itself is pretty quick, im still in time to return it and buy an S3 instead.
I payed a LOT of money for this phone (i bought it factory unlocked) and I want to be 100% sure that its a good inversion, as I dont frequently change my phone (im gonna keep it 2 years at least).
What should I do?
Thanks for reading!

Try dead pixel fixer app from play store.
Also the majority of one X users have no problem, i had a yellow spot problem, htc fixed it free under warranty, no wifi issues, and nothing else after that, its really your own decision. As you have posted in a HTC one X thread
we are bound to tell you to keep it as we are biased towards the device we own, but it is a great device, screen is better than s3.

Thanks a lot for answering!
My main concern is about the probability of the device having major problems in future...
The major issues such as screen, wifi, 3g signal and things like that, tend to appear in the very first use of the device or they appear after some time?
Sorry for being so repetitive, but i really want to be sure that im not going to have severe issues with the device in the near/long future, mainly because as I live in a "Third world" country, I have only 1 week of warranty (the warranty that the seller/importer gave to me). There is no official HTC support in my country and if i have to send it to USA for RMA, it would cost really a LOT of money. And as I said before I paid a lot of money for the device (about 5 times the price you get one new in the USA or Europe).
Thanks again!

I bought HOX few weeks ago and not experiencing any problems (which are not normal).
I unlocked the phone via HTCdev.com, flashed recovery, and using ARHD.
I guess it's newer, and those problems already fixed by HTC, I don't think you can suddenly get low signal issue if you don't have it now...

My phones part ID is SH24L i think its relatively newer.
Whats your part ID noamsch6 ?
Thanks!

Yes, buy an sg3 plastic phone and miss all tegra 3 games
How can we know what will happen in the future. Cmon.

i rooted my hox and i gots a yellow spots pop up on the screen when i use it
i went to htc care and they say they will replace the lcd because its a hardware issue

hi
im sure u have warranty go back get it fixed or replaced and enjoy
i got this phone for the looks besides its HTC no offense to SG3 but i just fell in love with this phone and got it with the kind a development u have here u will enjoy it dude mine is around a month old i have rooted and all and im using a custome rom iv had no problem what so ever:good::laugh:

No.

Personally I would swap it for the S3 if you don't do much gaming as above comment suggested.... It will keep its value longer too I reckon.

I had one x for 2 months and was really good phone, quality of screen is awesome, fast, good camera, no problem at all with hardware issues. But now i bought s3 blue color, and i just feel good with s3, its really amazig in all aspects. Runing JB, s beam, s voice, motions are really fantastic, and rooting process is really fast and good with samsung. I knew it becouse i jad s2 before. Its just my opinion but: s3 wins for me. Better in all things for me.

That's not what the guys who came to HOX from the SGS3 said. LOL

I just got an s3 for my sis and I'm really glad I have the HOX. Owning the S3 is the same banal experience as owning an s2 and note, it's boring but feature packed. Screen is nothing compared to the HOX and speed improvements are marginal at best.

Lol, like i sad its just my opinion, I had both of them, and i didn't want to say bad things for one X, i liked one x till i got my S3, and was the best phone till i got S3, my Hox was rooted, runing Arhd, everything was good with Hox, Ok battery and overheat was not good. and one thing was terrible, I use to much MHL, and need with subbtitles, and if you Run MX player or whatever with Software Dec... your phone maybe will start burn

If you want a stress-free experience, I guess you have a better shot w samsung, not saying that Samsung's quality control and customer service are great. Otherwise, keep it and pray for the best lol

The s3 will have problems just like the hox and all new top spec smartphones for its down to HTC build style and the screen is better stuck with the hox

Are you still in love with your X?

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

Fed up of the jb fiasco no more HTC for me.

Wow, you haven't got JB? Tell me how your life sucks because you don't have jellybean installed on your phone! (If you want updates that bad why didn't you buy a Nexus?)
I'm very pleased with my HOX, an overall great phone with a beautiful screen.

Exactly how I feel
Only one more thing bothers me. My one x was one of the early ones but had none of the defects many people was having.
But in the last two weeks yellow spots has started appearing

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.
HTC failed!

i haven't used many phones... would you tell me which SMART phone screen can survive after falling on ground?? i might have been just lucky because mine has fallen 3 times (yes i remembered each, it was mini-heart attack for me) but i guess screen has survived some how..
