hey i have an htc one x i want it to change it for an s3 so i got back from where i bought it and told them that i want to change it well they told me why do you want to do that s3 is not good one x way better s3 have lots of trouble they told me that they sold about 5 s3 last week but 3 give them back for an one x or a iphone is that right or do you advise me to change to an s3 or stay with my one x really confused! and thanks
<shrug>
Why would we know about the S3?
I can comment and say....
Get the GS3. Try it for a week or two then pass it on like I did.
One X in real day usage is a far better experience.

Its personal preference really, I for one would never have another Samsung device, just for the pure fact I don't like them anymore. I love my HOX, I must be one of the lucky ones that don't have the problems. But I'd keep with the HOX if I was you.
And quit with the sarcastic comments "Stay in school", really uncalled for.
Cheers.
I have the same doubt like you man...I am very confused between S3 and HOX...I always had samsung, but I really really hate them, due its pathetic plastic case and the crap touchwiz.
My concern is related to wifi and antenna issues of HOX...thats the only one reason i did not buy the HOX yet.:crying:
Can someone help me too?
Seriously guys what's with this complete indecision going on? I hope it's not contagious. I'd hate to have indecision. I think. Well, maybe not. I dunno. I might like it.

One of the reasons why I don't like Samsung is because they are so plastic. As to the HOX WiFi issues, I've had no issue. Not sure if I have a later phone or what, but all seems fine. Brought mine about 3 months ago.
Cheers.
OK, seeing as I've used both I'll give my views...
1. The screen on the One X is VASTLY superior to the S3 - the viewing angles are better and it just looks more natural.
2. TouchWiz, although I hate it, IS more fluid and suffers from less lag than Sense.
3. A lot of the gimmicks are useless but don't hinder the performance
4. I don't like the buttons are the base of the S3 - too close to the bottom of the unit, they look like an after-thought
5. I like the notification toggles in the S3 - they're handy. Why HTC got rid of 'Quick Settings' in the stock ROM build is beyond me
6. Having a removable battery/SD card IS a benefit and one HTC should have catered for
7. Autobrightness is quite low on the S3 - my Dad has to turn the screen up a lot for him to see it properly (he is getting old tho! )
8. WiFi works fine on both the S3 and One X from my experience, no issues with either
Overall I prefer the One X but the S3 isn't as bad as people think. OK it's a bit platicky but other than that it is a good phone - just not for me
neva had any issues with wifi... this is an excellent device... my colleague has an S3 and never saw him using any of the fancy features that S3 boasts about... he was going gaga over some of the features, but then he's also had some software issues... the touchwiz is the crappiest ones out there... there's nothing premium about the S3... i hate samsung personally...:cyclops:
hey again guys i'm just going to stay with my hox and i'm not having problems with anything i liked the s3 because of the smart features but i rooted my one x and evreything is working fine and actually there is an app called smart stay does the same thing that the feature of the s3 does and there is another called super video that gives you that pop up video thing of the s3 if you have an one x be sure to download those to apps and thanks for your answers everyone and stay high on android don't go with the iphone!
I have a HOX. Awesome phone but I HATE the stock Internet browser on there everyone u scroll up it pulls menus up. And it has a severe lack of multitasking or switching between apps , even the iPhone has a double tap on the home button that brings up recent apps. The screen on HOX is amazing tho and tbh I don't think sense is all that bad I liked it. I have my eyes on the S3 tho, I like it but as I'm hearing all this stuff about problems with it I'm thinking im gonna wait till next wednesday and see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone 5

Yeah i though about that as well...I just hate that outside of being free from Sense and TW its just behind...hardware.
Only thing that I liked about the HTC was the dedicated camera button.
Everything about the G3 is better. Pictures are close on each with a slight lead to HTC in low light.
Get the G3
Had a 4GLTE for about 3 weeks and decided to switch. They are both on par with each other(hardware, software, dev team, etc). The camera is better on the LTE but sound(music, video recording) is way better on the s3. I decided to return the LTE because of the recent apps issue, screen scratched WAY too easy, and people were bending the phone right above the kickstand(i beat on my phones). S3 is a finger print magnet to the highest degree lol.
hope this helps.
Wait for the iPhone 5...

Yes...yes i did, and by that i mean i didn't look.
Yes there are other threads on this, but after reading about the LTEVO's weak build (bends in the middle), non-removable battery, and so on, I opted for the S3. It's phenomenal. The camera is great, it's zippy, and the software is very well done. The Galaxy Nexus is also a tempting option, but the older hardware and weak camera made me choose the S3. Good luck in your search!

I am getting a gs2 tomorrow for T-Mobile and was curious what are somethings about this phone to look forward to? They are sending me a replacement for my one s cause of too many problems that I have been having for the device and too many replacements sent out so that is the alternative that they are sending me. I know processor wise and camera wise it doesn't add up to the one s but what are some things that I can look forward to do with it and what are somethings that you guys would recommend doing out of the box?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Right out of the box? I would say that rooting would be the best start While android is android, there are some vast differences, the TWUI is one of them. Most people don't like the TWUI (including myself), but I have found that there are quite a few that enjoy the tw ease of access and the fact that it was made to mimic the iOS interface. Speed and dependability are the biggest things with the Galaxy series. I like htc, but there are too many bugs in the system. The difference in the screen is very noticeable as well. I can rattle off features, but in reality it wouldn't matter if you don't use them. Play with it, have fun with it, and enjoy the ROMs that these amazing devs come up with on here Enjoy
im surprised you didn't argue for an s3
Went from the G2 to the GSII and was really happy with the switch. Previously I've had all HTC phones and was semi-reluctant to switch, but I'm a fan of other Samsung products so I went ahead. I think you'll be happy with it, as far as productivity its great, but definitely root it and maximize its full potential and get rid of all the bloatware.

I raised hell cause my job relies on my phone and I told them if I wanted a banging ass camera an a good mp3 player I would have bought a iPod an I have bought every new device they have released in the past two years. An I told them I wasn't paying for another device so they opted me with the gs2 an I took it. Is it easier to root the sg2?

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.
So. I've got a friend who tonight just offered to trade a 32gb HTC One X International for my AT&T 16gb Galaxy S3. I've already got two friends saying it's a good trade, and I'm inclined to agree because of the Tegra 3 and the LCD screen. Just curious to see what anyone else thought and if they'd give a thumbs up or down.

need more storage? won't be able to add micro sd
the main thing that through me off from the hox is built in battery and not sd storage
either then that the hox is a nice unit but I wouldn't trade if it be up to me
I believe you already made the right choice by choosing the s3 in the first place but in the end it's up to you
:thumbdown: There is a reason your friend wants to trade, it's because yours is better.
The removable battery and no external storage are deal breakers for me.. But a distant 3rd deal breaker is resell value.
HTC 1x isn't easy to sell now and will be very hard later.. Not worth it..
Ask him for 100+his phone if you are considering it otherwise you're getting ripped off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I tend to disagree. I just made this trade and am now on the GS3 side of it.
It comes down to preference. I think the HOX was a much more solid device. I won't get into the dual v quad argument now because it's pretty much moot.
The GS3 is the "it" phone for now, but the HOX has a niche that I think makes it just as valuable to the right people. If your motivation is purely liquidity, then stick with your GS3. If you want to try a new experience that could potentially be better for you, I think the HOX is worth a try. I liked it.
Others have said get him to add cash. I would ask for $50 and not take any less. Explain these reasons. It's fair.
Thanks for your thoughts guys. I think I'm gonna stick with my s3. I rather do enjoy this phone and after doing a little research the little things the S3 has over the hox are pretty big to me. Like removable battery and sd cards. The other thing is the S4 chip is pretty amazing ntm I feel i would regret the trade. Also my s3 is red lol

Well I was hesitant of the offer to begin with. Reason I started thread was to hear a wider degree of opinion, and everyone's thoughts were right along with my own. The S3 is a stellar phone. I'm a little sour with at&t atm cause I guess they will be bringing the Exynos version stateside with LTE support but bleh. The S4 seems to be showing these quad core chips a fight.
Honestly. I didn't really know a great deal about the International HOX because I never cared to know till my friend made that offer. Would pique anyone's interest i imagine. All said and done though. I will not part with my S3 unless I find a way to get the Note 2.

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get

I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

I've also heard the exact opposite. Point is what we perceive as "lag" has changed.

All of them mention lag, stutters or sluggish UI.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.

Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...
I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use
