Develop Bugs

Honestly would current One X user swap for a S3?

Thinking of upgrading my sensation XE to either a One X or a Samsung S3. I've read lots about each, I'm in UK btw.
So any current owners of One X...
do you wish you had waited,
or are you going to swap to a S3,
or happy with One X over S3,
or would rather have an S3 but now in contract?
Cheers

Nope happy with one x its all about sense for me. And one x also looks better plus has better camera.

HTC 1X. Using since 6th April. Awesome device. I would never swap an HTC phone for cheap looking Samsung. HTC is premium.

If by the time the SIII comes out, HTC still hasn't fixed up the One X software, I might very well jump ship. That is of course if the SIII has fewer bugs. I have no loyalty to HTC and I'm really pissed off at their locked bootloaders.

Yes in a heartbeat

You can't really judge the SIII camera until it comes out. Remember how amazing the One X camera was supposed to be, but when we got the handsets it proved to be a very average camera (only with quick shooting).

Only reason I would swap it is for battery life, otherwise I love the One X

No chance of swapping.

Is sense that much different to TWiz? It's my 1st Android, an XE, and never used TW.
Is the camera that much better than S3? They both seem to have same specs?

Is this the battery bugs I've read about? Reason I'm leaning more toward S3 is spare battery and the bugs I'm hearing.

Can I ask specifics please? Is it because of bugs, or extra features on S3? Removable battery and SD?
Cheers

Keep the One X and will buy the S3 when price goes down.
Love the One X but also love the S3 (memory card slot, removable battery, and GLONASS)

Yes! I will, selling my HTC One X at the moment on eBay!
Reason, I don't think it looks ugly (Galaxy S3) but that is my personal preference although the One X looks better, I always use a case anyways.
The Camera is better on the Galaxy S3 with good lightning condition, more contrast and sharper (GSMarena), but HTC One X in low light kills the Galaxy.
Never been a fan of Sense anyways, love touchwiz! (Personal Preference).
And it should produce less heat, due to the 32nm
P.S Why did you get the HTC One X? Because of the Camera and Looks, plus I got it cheaper than retail stores.

Potentially, I'd have to have a good few days with the SGS3 to properly test it out though. I love my One X though, so it's unlikely

Not worth an upgrade if you ask me, nothing really is that much better besides software.

Not true at all. One X's camera is not that good, it is overhyped.
My HTC Incredible S took much better pictures than my One X (and I had 3 X's).
I gave up after my 3rd HOX, as much as I love sense, this is not how premium hardware should be. And even if you have a good one, I couldn't live with the knowlegde that the chance of defects later in the run are very big. I was an HTC fanboy and even I have to admit HTC ruined the One X.
Looking at movies of the S3, I'm starting to find touchwiz less ugly. Sense is thé android experience, it is a real shame
So yes I'm waiting for the S3 to come out so I can take a look at the pentile matrix display. If the pixels are good, I'm going for S3. Shame because I really liked the HOX, but HTC can't seem to get their act together in new batches.

I made a topic about this literally a few days ago - and decided that I would in fact be sticking with the One X.

I am happy with my One X nor need to Swap for S3 features are almost same.

The One X's camera is absolutely fantastic, I've never owned a phone that can take such good photo's. Videos are terrible on the other hand, but the camera does an awesome job for me at least!
Another thing to note is I've read a few reviews where they say the SGS3's screen is indistinguishable from the Galaxy Nexus' which would make the One X's display miles better.
Although many other reviews say otherwise so I'm not sure who to believe any more

Happy with my OneX. S3 design not amazing at all

Honestly, read the rules for general...

htc one x + coming to tmobile? better than s III?

has anyone heard if the htc one X+ is coming to tmobile and if so do u guys think it will be better than the s3?

I think htc is better in many ways but s3 is good too as a starting dev i would prefer htc - it's more free to tweak but s3 has much "'cool" things as floating touch, it reacts when you close your eyes etc.

Htc was great, 2 or 3 years ago. Not so sure anymore. I still like their hardware and design, but to keep it so locked down is an epic fail in my book.

why yes... yes they were.. Amaze and so on has been complicated. That was the downfall of htc popularity. everybody went to the gs2 knowing this and tore that baby up.
And amaze had crappy battery... probably mostly about the crappy battery lol.

I like HTC's designs, but they are buggy as hell. I've had the PPC-6601, SDA, Shadow 2, HD2, and the One S, and as usability goes the S3 beats em all. The HTC One aluminum unibody would be a winner if it didn't limit expandability so severely.

The htc one x + is an at&t exclusive only. We wont have it:thumbdown:

I am sure T-Mobile will get a variant of this phone, but may be watered down like the one S was/is.
I love the build quality on the HTC devices, from the unibody to the overall build really. Just awesome looking/feeling devices.
Not fond of the horrendous battery life's or the screen always seeming it pales in comparison to Sammy.
I loved my Amaze, wife currently has one and kinda liked the one S till I realized it was no different than my Amaze and really almost a step down.
Real happy with my S3. I don't see me going back to HTC anytime soon.

Even though phones are becoming more power efficient, I personally dont think we are at a point were having a non-removable battery is justified. Screens are becoming bigger and brighter which just offsets any power optimization implemented, and we are left with the same horrible battery life. This is the main reason I believe the S3 is superior.

I had the HTC inspire and then the sensation and the Amaze 4G. All where great phones....HTC lost my money when they made the HTC one x without expandable memory and with the built in battery!! Which I hate a lot...remind me of an iPhone concept in a way...but at this point I have 0% regret that I switched to the s3....I believe it was a good move for me because it is a great phone all the way around.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

The best thing in the phone is the screen is just amazing how good it looks, comparison to the gs3 and iPhone 5 you can tell the one x got a beautiful screen, I would get it no problem but I ma have a hard time selling the gs3 plus I already have spare battery and a 64 micro sd card so is hard for me, other then that I think is a great phone. And for those that think htc is down in sales because of developer friendly.. That's a lie... The reason why half of my family go to a gs3(there is like 6 of them) id because of the aggressive Samsung ads (crazy everywhere) and I got at least 6 Co workers too, if htc would have done what Samsung did in releasing on all carriers the one x brand would have been recognized, is one of my favorites phones and if I could I would use as my secondary device

Better spec wise? Maybe, but I love my s3. The best HTC phone I've ever owned was the HTC hd2. I think I'm the only person that hated the sensation.

I have nothing against HTC, but their devices lack features I am looking for which is why I didn't originally choose the One X over my GS3. There is no denying that the One series of phones looks great though!

What about non removable battery and no extra storage? Those taiwanese midgets try to be like apple and impose their customers what they want but they do forget they are not apple and they only have a small market share so screw them and their locked bootloaders and their startegy which is new phone every 2 months.

One x has great battery life. Ive never used an extra battery for any phone ive owned. Ive always bought an external battery/case like the mophie when i had my 4s and i have one for the sg3. As far as storage 16GB is fine for me as i dont use my phone for anything else than calling/txting which is its purpose. Unlimited data = spotify = no need for 32,64,etc. Only reason I buy more than 16GB of storage when i purchase a phone is for reselling value . Im not hating on samsung as i love my sg3 but they need to learn from other companies like apple, htc, motorola and stop making cheap feeling fragile phones.

Not fragile at all actually. Go drop the hox and u will see. Anyway this thread is stupid and should be locked. 1. Belongs to q&a 2. Is about htc device . Yes op wonders if it is coming to tmobile, but this is not the tmobile thread.

I've had a G1, Galaxy S, HTC Amaze 4g, and now my S3. Not to mention I work for a company that makes IPhone apps so I have an iPhone 4 paid by them which I keep in a box and I play with iPhone 4S, 5 a lot. I loved my G1. Hated my Galaxy S. Loved my Amaze 4g for a bit till December update ruined it, and liked a lot again with ICS update, though it just felt lagging stock and they look worn fast.
My Galaxy S3 is my favorite phone. I just does everything I need splendidly with no lag and I'm on a stock Rom with no root and no alterations. Personally, I just love the phone. Plus I also prefer it over any iPhone.

Having my HTC One X replaced by a HTC One X+?

Hello, today I've returned my phone to the local store, it had the WiFi issue, yellow spot on screen and the 'back' button did not light up.
I've read around that the problem is persistant on these devices, the shop owner said that they can replace it by the newer model, HTC One X Plus, if I pay 50 euro extra OR I can chose any other phone within the price range.
I really like the exclusive brand. In my eyes, it's like a BMW to cars, but without the quality control
I love how the phone feels, it has great specs and looks great, but all these issues are just not worth it.
Does the HoX+ still have the same common issues or am I safe to upgrade?
Regards

imo the one x is more under development, with the one x+ you won't get all these roms... i would stay with one x

For 50 bucks I'd say get the new X+
There are less devs, but for as little as 50 bucks I'd get the new phone just to have the latest ajd something new again

I would say hold on for a Nexus 4......

What options within that price range do you have?

For the price get the HOX+ best of the HOX but slightly better. 64gb, slightly faster, improved audio, slightly bigger battery, improved front camera, JB straight out of the box, probably better finish. It's worth it

I'd actually suggest the 8X - HTC makes great hardware, but they don't exactly have much luck with software - but from what I heard Windows Phone is very solid and runs great.

Just wondering if you could get One X+ battery inside One X ?
That is only thing i need, bigger battery.

Comparing the phones together, One X+ still seems to win, besides that it won't get updates as often as the Nexus 4. I don't like the on-screen buttons and round design at all. My choice will probably be the One X Plus I just want to know for sure: Are the WiFi / GPS / Bluetooth issues (poor contact with antenna) solved with the One X +?

I think upgrading to One X+ would be great. I would.

To be honest, I don't think that in the latest batches there are any of the infamous hardware faults present anymore, production quality has improved greatly. Mind you, I got a HT23 HOX back in April and never had any problems...whatsoever
..and my brand new HOX+ should arrive today
So, without being biased on my side...get it!

Should I get a one x ?

In stock ICS, yes. Apparently it's better (gone??) in JB, but I haven't got my update yet, so can't comment.

Average. The standby (or sleeping) power consumption is really good, and things like browsing the Web and listening to music are pretty good too, but CPU intensive tasks can really drain the battery. I fairly easily get a whole day out of it with moderate to heavy usage.

If your budget is big enough, I might advice you to look for the improved version of the phone, One X+ that is. It comes with JB, a faster processor and bigger storage (64GB). If budget is limited then get the One X. You can take a look at the Nexus 4 too and see if you like it or not, it depends on what you need.
Not trying to keep you from the One X or anything, its a great phone and its been working fine for me for the past 7 months and can definitely last more than 2 years. I'm just telling you to check the market for all the options so you are 100% confident with your decision.

1. I found that on stock ICS, the One X did lag sometimes when multiple apps were open. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, or when the stock Jelly Bean update is installed, it should have no lag because of project butter. I am on the CyanogenMod 10 ROM and it is lightning fast, and I have never noticed any lag at all.
2. The battery depends on the usage of the phone. I have found that after a usual day of usage, I have about 25-35% battery left, and this includes using power-hungry games.
3. Yes, the games are insanely fast, due to the Tegra 3 processor. Nvidia have a really strong background in gaming (due to all of their PC GPU's), and this really shows when playing any game.
Hope this helps

Defo get one root it and get ARHD on it , smooth as with zero lag

IMO, if you can afford it, go for the One X+ instead of the One X. That bigger battery is really something to consider however, I see no big difference apart from that (better GPU and higher CPU/GPU clocks are no big deal IMO). If you can't afford it or if you find the extras on the One X+ no big deal, get the One X w/o a moment's hesitation

Why is anybody still looking at a device with the locked down misery the is HTC bootloader when a Nexus 4 is better in just about every way and costs less?

Because the Nexus 4 has a much cheaper build quality, has glass on both sides which makes it more prone to smashing (Gorilla Glass 2 isn't unbreakable) and HTC Sense is really good for consumers that will keep the phone as it is (Sense does have a lot of great features), not to mention the worst fact that there are no capacitive buttons on the Nexus 4, which means that screen real estate is taken up by the on-screen buttons. Also, in my opinion, the device looks ugly, especially on the back with that awful looking camera and the weird sparkly effect.
Still, I do think that the wireless charging is really cool, and I can see why people buy the nexus devices to get stock android immediately. I also realise that it feels cheaper because it is cheaper.
I just think that the negatives of the Nexus 4, and the positives of the One X make the One X a much better phone, and if you want an unlocked bootloader, if you go to htcdev.com, they could not have made it simpler to do.

I just got my HTC One X last week.
I got it because I was really tired of the lag of my HTC Sensation XE (1.5 GHz Dual Core with 780+ MB of RAM).
I loaded all my previous apps on the One X (so I would have a fair comparison), I can tell you there is a HUGE difference in speed. It was really much more than I hoped for. The One X is very much faster and task switching is immediate.
Opening/browsing/closing the Google Play was a real pain on the Sensation XE, but on the One X it's really smooth and satisfying.
For the battery, it's about the same of my Sensation XE. But considering the One X has a bigger screen and a quad core, I was happy with the battery life (I was expecting a shorter battery life). I have the data on all day long (3G only, HSDA network) with many apps syncing and moderate usage (including watching youtube), I can survive a full day easily (7 AM - 12 midnight).
For games, I don't play games so I can't tell.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm still on ICS, as Jelly Bean is not out yet for my region. My old Sensation XE was on ICS too.
Also, my HTC One X is all stock, no roots or custom ROM. So if you want more speed (although I don't see why) you can put a stock JB ROM and other users say it will get smoother.
After more days spent with my new phone, still can say that I am in love with my One X.

I think you have some good points, however I have both right next to me at the moment. I wouldn't say that either has better build quality. They're very different design philosophies. If you like the feel of the iphone 4s then the nexus will be better but if you like the lumia polycarbonate style then the one x for sure. For me I prefer the nexus simply because it makes it feel more like a grown ups phone as opposed to a toy so much.
Otherwise it's pretty night and day in terms of usability. The nexus 4 is a lot quicker and smoother and cooler. The one x does win on screen and camera though.
OP if you don't like lag this is a no brainer, the nexus is much better.

Haha, just make sure you don't get an operator branded phone or be unlucky enough to get one with an uncommon CID, yes. But you've still got a device manufacturer telling YOU what YOU can do with the device YOU own. Which sucks.
If the HOX is so much better than the Nexus 4, then you'll have to show me the fields of people waiting to swap my immaculate HOX for one. I suspect they don't exist though.
Yes, different things appeal to different people, and the industrial design of the HOX is nice, but I suspect from what I've read the N4 could not really be considered to have 'inferior build quality'. I don't even like the idea of a dual-faced glass device, but I'd still have one to get that device at that price. Either way, given that the N4 should be just over half the price, there's simply no competition.

HTC One X or Nexus 7?

Fair play, but if you read what you said again, you said:
'If the HOX is so much better than the Nexus 4, then you'll have to show me the fields of people waiting to swap my immaculate HOX for one. I suspect they don't exist though'
That just practically means that no-one is swapping a One X for a Nexus 4. Well done :laugh:
And in response to 'letom', I do like the Nexus 4, and the price together with the fresh OS is why a lot of people would choose to buy one. I'm just saying that if I had no phone again and I had to buy one, I would still probably get the One X. I just like the premium feel and the screens on HTC phones are unbeatable (I also really like the camera). And yes, running Sense and with all the apps that HTC forces upon you (like 7Digital), it is more laggy than the Nexus 4. All you have to do is root it and install CM10, and they both have zero lag.
And I think we can all agree, Android > iOS anyday
Actually no, if I had no phone, I would wait for the HTC M7 (rumoured to launch Q1 2013). The Droid DNA is just the warm-up phone in the build up to the M7. Although, it is still all rumours at the moment so we probably won't see or hear about it until MWC 2013.

The problem is I bet you the new HTC still won't be as smooth as the nexus 4. I have jelly Bean on my one x right now, and yes it's smooth but it's not up there with how smooth the nexus is. Look at the reviews of the DNA they're saying it's still bogged down by sense. You should only be getting a HTC phone is you like sense, and live by it.

No, just don't haha

Should I buy ONE X or wait for a better phone or price drop ?

Hello
I am planning to buy HTC One X international version for about 468$ from a local store where I can test it and so on. I now wonder if I should wait for a newer phone release within the same price range or wait for HTC One X price to drop more or maybe even wait until the HTC One X+ price drop and get it instead .
So
Get The One X now for 468$
Or
Wait until it becomes cheaper like 400$ or so few weeks later
Or
Wait for the One X+ price drops to 468$ and that way I get the better version for the same price of the old one
Or
Wait for 2013 phones to be released and get one of them instead or get the One X really cheap .
What do you guys think ? It is worth waiting and for how long ?

It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

Where did the OP state your recommendations as an option? Or am I having trouble reading?

I just got a One X myself and it is a pretty decent phone but if i had the chance to go back buy a different phone i certainly would.
Firstly the battery life isn't very good i have had a lot of problems with battery.
Secondly i have had a lot of reboots and freezes with the stock ROM this might be something to do with me being with Three who are useless and haven't provided important updates etc to us.
If you can get the s3 or Nexus 4 get one of them, if you are into iOS get the iPhone you know the phone is going to be stable, get updates on time etc.
Like i said the One X is a decent phone but it does have its problems
Good Luck with you're new phone

I think the One X is a VERY good phone. Obviously there is a smudge of bias on my opinion as I own one but from having used an S3 for a 1 month period before deciding that I didn't want it, I can tell you why ***In my opinion*** the One X beats it
Firstly, the screen is devastatingly beautiful, the colors are amazing, it's got sublime viewing angles near 180 degrees if i'm honest and it's just brilliant for watching HD content on, plus the screen is big enough that you can actually appreciate media content on the screen. Being picky when it comes to screens, it pains me everytime I use the S3 and I can see the pentile pixel grid and all the whites have a green tint to them.
Tegra 3, now I know it's a bit of a gimmick, but it gives a noticable difference in graphical quality than any comparible phone without tegra such as the Nexus 4 or the S3, also works beautifully with the screen
Design, much like the One X's screen, it's body is really well styled, the materials feel very premium and the handset just feels good, the design just has that wow factor which I felt when I first saw the HTC Legend. The S3 in this category cannot hold a candle to the one x, when I feel that glossy polycarbonate, my mind scream CHEAAAAPP!! I know it's not and I know it's the same material that the One X uses but it just doesn't feel like a £400 phone should. Also opening up the battery cover on the white version, you just see disgusting cheap white plastic everywhere which for a picky person like me isn't that great.
Camera, now this is a very subjective area and I much prefer the pictues the One X produces, the S3's pics feel very very saturated in terms of colors where I feel the One X is more representative of the true color, again, this is entirely subjective and that's how I felt.
Sense UI is amazing, yes it's heavy and yes it's buggy sometimes but it's so much more polished than Touchwiz feels and I just like the interface more, there's more "customisability" and it's a nice nice interface to use. I prefer the vanilla android UI just because it's really good nowadays but at the time of purchasing, there were no other phones that bragged the same specs which came with stock Android, and even now if I could change the One X for the Nexus 4, I don't think I would for the reasons above.
Final reason I got a One X is because I really like the fact no one knows what it is and that not many people own one. It's like an exclusive club which people who appreciate Sense can join!

We seem to have veered off topic.
Waiting is a mugs game, it'll always get cheaper, there will always be something better coming along.

What BenPope said. Basically the choices boil down to pretty much buying One X+ if you can afford it, otherwise One X, or you could wait for about a year (or longer) for Tegra 4 devices to come at around mentioned price range.
I bought One X about two weeks ago and all I can say is that I don't regret that decision for a moment.
