Sluggish stock rom - HTC One V

Hi all along I have been chasing the flagship phones. And I feel that it is a waste of money to be chasing lagship phones
This is my first mid range android phone so my question is is lag normal even during messaging and going into setting? Anything I can do to make it less laggy?

clear bloatware apps

One X vs GS3?

Hi at all! some day ago i broke my HD2 so i search for a new smartphone! my choise is on one X and Gs3 I know that for now the one X with stock rom have a worse ottimization (like with animated wallpaper). so I ask you what's the best phone in this area,if one have the sotck rom or some other from XDA:
battery
performance
with the new rom form XDA one X is better that GS3 or GS3 continue at be the best phone for performance and battery?
I had a look at a S3 the other in day in store and I was quite impressed but at the same time not disappointed with my choice of the HOX.
I do like the sense launcher and some time soon I am going to flash a custom rom to speed things along but from what I've read and seen both phones are nearly identical performance wise.
If you are into flashing custom roms and things I would go with the S3 as they have already released the source code for it while where stuck over here trying to get S-off
thanks so with the new rom you have noted some improvement in the battery life? beacause for now this is the real difference between one X e SG3 for me i Have fear that the one X have a small battery
From a pure hardware/features standpoint, the GS3 is a beast.
Personally, I like the way the HOX looks/feels, though and I'm a sucker for the contact integration of the social networks. Touchwiz has a long way to go before it's that refined.
but for the daily use the one X have some lag with the custom rom? I see in a lot of review a bug with animated wallpaper and the stock browser is terrible with flash respect the one s and Gs3 :/
so with the new updates or custom rom this problem are solved?
The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone, I love the HOX and the curved look, and sense is awesome, I must have installed all other launchers and ended up back with sense.
The GS is a little too..... simple, or presice, the HOX is a Tegra 3 Daddy, dont worr about the battery as my model and if you buy one yours will be fine and last 2 days easy. Its eraly SN versions having issues not new ones.

sorry,but I don't understend the phrase "The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone". I want said that SG3 is better of HOx?
I'm worry about battery and lag,beacause in a lot of review HOX have some lag and a lot of people said that is not optimized

sorry,but this is a very big forum,so here I can have a lor of opinion
I saw the video. My conclusion is that with the new update and custom rom in daily use the difference between GS3 and HOX in nearly zero,right?
But I don't understand how much is big the difference in the game. with one X there is some game that go slow?like Mass effect or some other new games?
Go for the S3, OneX is for **** ....

in daily tasks both are the same, no one is going to notice, in games the hox has support for the high graphics tegra 3 games, with development support by nvidia.

HOX: better screen, camera & design.
SGS3: unlocked bootloader, removable battery, sdcard slot.
If you can't make a decision from that simple summary then it doesn't matter, you'd be happy with either.

I just got my one x a few hours ago and I think it is awesome. I'm definitely buying the pebble blue galaxy s 3 though. Just be happy with your purchase. Both great in their own way.

I dont like the samsung TouchWiz interface. HTC Sense is way better in my opinion.
I had HTC Inc S, then got the SGS2, wasnt really happy with it, mainly the interface, so got the ONE X and love it.
Its fast and battery lasts well, I get 2 days of average use before recharge. Allthough when I use it as a Wifi hotspot for 6 hours will only last me 1 day.
in my honest opinion
I have my HOX now for the past month and I am satisfied...
Just satisfied as it delivers where it should as in Graphics, Performance, UI, Integration and sleekness, however the only major downfall I would say of the HOX is the Battery and not having a removable SD card.
Battery life too short and not being able to expand the memory is a downfall
So with only those 2 aspects in mind I would change to a GS3
Otherwise I am happy with my HOX

[Q] {{Q}}Should I buy HTC one x or not?

Hi there , i'm new member here , nice to meet all of the professional......

How am i going to keep use it when it was like holding a hot chocolate bar and stick with my ear for listening ...
A phone that i want is whenever i touch the dial or contact logo , it will come out quickly and won't lag . The most important is not getting heat easily or over heat....
So , should i buy htc one x or not? because i'm worry after i bought it , it is also gv a the same feeling and experince like xperia arc , then i will feel more regret and wasted money...

Yeah if you don't like it heating up.
Buy nexus 4 or sgs3 instead...
Don't buy it if you don't like it hot

I think you should get the Htc one x, s3 or nexus 4.
These are all good phones i think.
I own a htc one x and i love it, its does not lag at all and its quad core! fastest thing i have ever owned but sometimes it can over heat a little when playing on it for a long time (1hr) It does not heat up loads or very hot i don't think.
Overall i would get it if your like watching movies and games because its quad core and has a perfect size screen.
Or get the nexus 4 or s3
Hope this helps
First , Thanks for all of your reply

Actually i seldom use phone for play games or watch Video , if got are just a few mins in a half and hours. ....
The function i used the phone on android phone are just calling , i don want the phone get heat up easily in at least half and hours, and open the contact book or dial without lag and hang.
At the beginning ,I decide to buy a iPhone 5 coz it gv us without any worrys of lag and hang plus stable and smooth. IPhone got everything good , except it is not customizable(sharing using Bluetooth, nfc , free apps ) ,unless we jailbreak it.
Last , if htc one x not easily to get heat up in a half-hour when calling , i would buy it. .....

DO NOT buy it.
I thought a lot before going for the HOX and now I regret it. I didn't have the infamous wifi problem but I had a broken speaker about a month later. And now I"m having screen not truning on problem. I cannot answer calls or anything until it takes it merry time to turn on whenever it feels like. I had a Desire before and it had no problem. I took a leap of faith with this one. Not anymore.
There is no reason to go for a HOX when you have phones like N4. Do not get this.
Don't buy it. This is my 5th HTC device. And I regret it. It's a nice handset and I've had no problems, but I am annoyed at the way the firmware updates for JB are being managed/locked down, as I have a branded device.
I am very disappointed. This will be my last HTC device.
then what should i buy ? i really hate to keep using this **** xperia arc , everytime use it to calling , the feeling is like burning my ears ,somemore like get radiation. ....fcuk......

Erm, i have the same question but for different uses...
i will be gaming alot, watching movies and loads of other multimedia stuff... heating of phone wont matter...
but ofcourse, il be running a AOSP ROM like CM or something...
what i need is something that will keep getting the latest versions of Android (Unofficially will do)...
since the One X shares its chipset with the nexus 7, i feel it wont have any issues running latest Android versions?
had considered the Nexus 4 but it seems to have way too many issues with its hardware... buzzing speakers, cracking glass, battery draining...
dont wanna buy something that defective and delicate...
what do you suggest? should i buy this device?
Samsung galaxy s3 is the perfect choice. My htc one x is usually getting hot after 15 minutes playing game or browsing. S 3 is the number 1 of selling smartphone nowdays

So much for this being 'flagship'. HTC really don't care about their customers once they have a new bun in the oven.

I tend to disagree. Only year and a half is passed after HOX release and less than a year of hox+ release. It's not right to not update the previous generation. Atleast 2 years is a must. We can bash samsung all that we want, but they support their top models far better than htc, sadly as htc is far better phone builder. I hope when lenovo buy htc there will be new "hardcore boner" phones. Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

I don't get it, if you want to be 'up to date' you should buy a new phone every two years. I think HTC did an amazing job with 4.2.2 sense 5. I do not expect more of them. It's not all about you and me in this world. I rather like HTC to work on new stuff then giving ten years of support to 'old' devices.
And be honest, this latest update with the hardware of the one x will run for a long time, it's not that our device becomes useless because of no updates.

I will just say that if you bought a hox+ (released november 2012) you would need to buy a new phone in less then a year if you wanted to be on the latest... btw latest for htc and sammy means one version behind
In the case of the hox... They supported it for a year and a half.
our devices were never on the latest android version. I dont call it an update if you are one or two versions behind. Sammy is the same but i hate them even more for that because they have the resources to update it in a reasonable timeframe. But they dont.

it's really disappointing
I don't care that much about Sense 5.5 , because most of the features that are in it, we already have with Sense 5.0 for our One X (except for the camera features, we'll never get those). But I do care about the 4.3 update and I hope we get it. According to previous leek - we will get 4.3 with Sense 5.0.
I think this is the end for the hox and the hox+. Because if they make the effort to update it to 4.3 sense 5.5 would come with it. Thats my thinking
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4
If you want latest updates buy a Nexus device. If you want sense you know you won't get updates after 1 or 1,5 year. It's nothing new. You knew it the moment you bought the One X.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well, if you guys actually read the changelog, 70% of the Sense 5.5 features are basically our own Sense 5.0 features. The reason for this is that most One's in the US were stuck on 4.1.2 while we were getting our 4.2.2 update. So to avoid wasting time, HTC announced they'd skip 4.2.2 for the One and jump straight to 4.3. So most of the things in 4.3 Sense 5.5 is basically from out own Sense 5.0, it's just finally making it to devices which were deprived from 4.2.2 unlike us.
As for 4.3 for the One X, I really don't mind if we don't get it. I like Sense 5. I'm not the kinda guy who NEEDS the bleeding edge of OS updates. I'm just the average Joe who just needs something nice to use. 4.2.2 is good one the One X and I don't mind it staying on it till I replace it in the future. Even if I get tired, there's always aftermarket ROMs so the options are not limited. I know I can't speak for everyone because I have a Nexus 7 which is always up-to-date but believe me when I say there are more days then not when I actually prefer using my 4.2.2 Sense 5 over the 4.3 in my N7
All I can say is just enjoy your phones. Compared to TW updates or Sony updates which sometimes f*ck your old devices up, HTC actually didn't with our update besides, what's in 4.3 that we NEED that badly in our phones ? The only thing I see actually worth the update is Bluetooth 4.0 support and even that's not really for me but more for the One X owners who threw a hissy fit about Sense not supporting it and felt scammed.
If I'm honest I'm perfectly happy with my hox. It's not been the flagship for a good while but update still happened and many facets from future updates will likely be brought to hox on xda once enough time passes and people feel like it.
Don't expect but couldn't ask for more
Well, if samsung S3 will get it (same specifics) like HOX why we do not get 4.3?
BUT if they dont care for costumers we have our way to punish bad costumer care brands.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well... The only thing that I really want from sense 5.5 is the RSS support for blinkfeed - it will make it alot more usable for me, right now I dont use it because feedly is much better for my RSS subscriptions. Furthermore, the only thing that I want from 4.3 is the trim feature, but I have root and I use the trim app..so maybe it's not a must.
Anyway next phone for me is nexus, even though sense is just better than any other UI in the market IMHO.

Petition for android kitkat on our galaxy grand

When the kitkat is compatible even on 512mb ram devices, our grand has got such a good ram and it has pretty large user's, why can't we..! This is not fair by the Samsung...! When our competitor micromax canvas 2 is getting kitkat(micromax has announced the list) why can't we.? Samsung look towards only its high end devices like s3,s4, note2 and note3.. its partial towards their high end customers...! Samsung is looking only to increase their sales not continued support for their customers, so it has launched grand lite/neo..!
So this is the petition to upgrade our firmware to 4.4 kitkat.. who are all with me.?

Haha....well LOL brother..its really decent of u who thinks that way and just for that started a new thread....but its not gonna make samsung change there mind...
1st. The samsung giving kitkat only to those four phones is not completely true...
Yes first they will release for those devices...obvious it would be really weird for all those people who purchased there s4 or note 3 ,and samsung gives kitkat not to them first but us ..
2. Its just first installment lets say...its nothing like only these devices will get kitkat...many more devices will get but in later future...they will get the priority as they are flagships...
3.. Any way its universal truth that samsung updates are always late ...google releases kitkat and many devices gets it, still it takes months for Sammy's devices to get the same (bcoz OEMs takes time)...
So just wait and wait if Samsung declares the confirmed list with names of devices which will get kitkat ,after these flagships....
Though its a good gesture u are concerned about it, but starting a new thread just for poll is not required ..
No offence buddy..i am with u...
But lets start developing by ourselves rather than waiting for these companies to do for us..
If pawitp , xenon92 and k2wl would have thought the same , and if they would have just sit on there homes and just make a thread like this one and vote, then i dont think we would have got all these kitkat roms (kudos to all )....
Hope u get what i am saying...
No offense ...
With your cause xD ..

When Grand 2 will get Kitkat (and it will) we will only get JB 4.3... I think. Developing updates is a money loss for all companies and they prefer to release a sequel device instead.
Besides Grand's main market is for ordinary people in developing countries... And ordinary people doesn't really care about Kitkat anyway, as long as the apps they want work well on their devices. Vast majority of apps still work on JB 4.2.2. And it will be for a few years ahead. Hell, there are even some people who still uses Froyo.
The choice to not update our device makes sense (economically) for Samsung. All companies are built for profit, not for loss, and because of the nature of Samsung itself (a mainly hardware company, not software company i.e. Google) they only get the money from selling as many devices as they can.
You probably should've bought a Nexus device.
And btw, this should be in the general section.
Am totally agreeing with u.Sure u can file a complaint throug samsung official website its simple and it's all what we could do to get atleast 4.3 or a fix for performance. Till recent 4.2udate device is laggy so it's a nice idea

Well..if officially we get kitkay.. then our current roms will be updated too(maybe)..
Drivers and all cud be used to fix several bugs and significantly performance cud b increased...
Many ppl arent able to use custom roms because they don't have dual sim..but this one will have.. Not to forget the process load will be lesser and so over all it will be good!

Exactly.
AOSP and its derivations of Kitkat are just plain JB 4.3 with minor features (ART, printing, white interface, etc.). Most of the Google features are already updated via Google Play Store. So nowadays there's really no reason to rush the upgrade to Google's latest and greatest, because we already have almost all of Google's Kitkat features distributed via Play Store. These are i.e. Google Keyboard, Camera, Photos, Calendar, Hangouts, etc.
It has some upsides:
- People who are stuck in earlier Android versions can taste some of Google's latest features without upgrading the Android version.
- People who are tied to carrier restrictions can now bypass that and get the latest Google features
- These apps will be updated more frequently than the Android version.
- It will be more lawsuit-proof. All of these apps are now copyrighted by Google and closed source, meaning no other companies can copy any of the apps features without asking Google. It was different in the past when it was all open source, everybody can copy and derive (with author credits of course)
And the downsides is that this is bad for developers community because we're now more dependent to Google Apps than ever before...

When the kitkat is compatible even on 512mb ram devices, our grand has got such a good ram and it has pretty large user's, why can't we..! This is not fair by the Samsung...! When our competitor micromax canvas 2 is getting kitkat(micromax has announced the list) why can't we.? Samsung look towards only its high end devices like s3,s4, note2 and note3.. its partial towards their high end customers...! Samsung is looking only to increase their sales not continued support for their customers, so it has launched grand lite/neo..!
So this is the petition to upgrade our firmware to 4.4 kitkat.. who are all with me.?

Mahn..if u think that this all new releases of lite/grand 2 is marketing ..then i would laugh at samsung for its poor marketing ..
Stats shows that their sales last year were 18-23% less then last to last year..
S4 didnt sell that well..and making bunch of less powerful phones rather then making one powerful mobile is worst strategy ever...people who live in developing countries (like india) ended up purchasing these poor performance mobiles rather than waiting and saving for a big one (and that's why many good handsets didnt set record as they were supposed to)..giving my example :|..
I was thinking to save so that i could take a good mobile...waited, so that can take a cool sammy phone (coz they are powerful)..
I ended up taking this mobile coz it had released and was in Budget ,rather then saving and getting good one(that was a way too far road )..
So marketing word..is something turns out Samsung has forgot..
Just 1 exynos chip dual core in grand and 720p resolution for 5" screen was 100times better then what they made today... It was okay then if device was a bit costlier too..(at least ppl wudnt hav ended up taking a cell with not that grt power ).. Alot alot of thanks to developers out there who gave there sooo precious time just so that i didnt sold my grand ...all thanks to them mahn..
Yea..so u were telling something about marketing ..

Companhies are filling the market with mid-end mobiles like xperia models, motoX from motorola, and others are coming to Brazil for a fraction of a High end device and still good qualities, exactly as said before.
The only one thing bothers me on Grand Duos is lacking of memory management. Even maintaining a controlled number of applications, sometimes I have to close the active ones so the phone can become slower or unresponsive. I´m using 4.2.2 from TIM carrier, Brazil.
I greenified some applications but still a little laggy sometimes, so Kitkat seems a hope for me, but I need dual sim funcionallity, so I need to wait the update, or change for another nexus based model.
I also think our phone will not get kitkat

Only regret i have on this device is its screwn resolution and broadcomm chipset...which are the main reasons why we dont get official custom roms/high quality game support....thats the main reason whyy...!
I ll keep thia device anyway for few months more and will take moto g or something!..
Abt the petition... Lets see what happens..

Apart from the fact that in real world situations you'd never need to use a device in that manner i don't see any lag that is bad enough to warrant calling it a fault.
Maybe you just have too much crap, by crap i mean apps and games that run in the background.
My m9 has its moments but they are few and far between. Maybe you should have bought a samsung, touchwiz will definitely give you something to moan about (don't mean that in a nasty way).
Another pointer is that apps aren't yet optimally using 64 bit so the 8core thing is emulated by the device at the moment.
Personally I think you're being pedantic..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

I did not installed any games on it. But today I have installed Asphalt 8 and real racing3 and it was lagging. There is somethings strange also my m9 at the 1st setup was having an orange theme not like the another htcs m9 phones have the blue theme, I was shocked when saw the orange theme. I didn't know if my device is m9 or not lol
