I'm really thinking of switching from the iPhone 4s, but I need to make sure the Tegra 3 phone would give me a day or so of good use... I say the Tegra version since there is LTE in my part of town and 16GB is not gonna cut it...
This phone will get you a day if use, guaranteed.

I switched from a 4s and it was the best thing I done. Useage phone on for 11 hrs 20mins, screen on for 4hr 15min that's browsing calling etc etc

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.

Yes its a good trade. Tegra 3 and 32 gb, but you will NOT get LTE with the hox, is this a deal breaker?
Also the battery life on the hox is a lot less than the s3, but if rooted there are a couple of roms that utilize battery use very well.
Another good reason to trade is the latest sense, its brilliant.
Check the hox thoroughly, make sure its a perfect runner before you swap.

Don't now about circumstances in us, but here in Germany its not good, better to sell your galaxy s3 on ebay or Craig list and buy hox, it'll give you some extra bucks

Check what your network uses. GSM or CDMA. If you haven't, go read some reviews. I've been debating getting the one x international myself but I've read the battery life is god awful.
Been holding out on getting a new phone since I wanted one with a decent physical keyboard and other specs. Since HTC decided they don't want to anymore and I love sense its hard to look at anything else. Can't stand AOSP stock look or touchwiz for sure though personally.

Your out to date, mate. The battery life with last stock rom is pretty good. With 4-5 screen on time hox can live for a hole day. Gaming will cause some battery drain, bur even playing 1,5hrs Sega virtua tennis my phone gives me 3hrs screen on time.
P. S. : typing on 4,7 display with swiftX keyboard is such a pleasure after some time it collects your type of lexicon and it becomes really hard to use something other than that (ok, full qwerty is still nice on PC, but everything alse kind of suxx)

I just got the galaxy S3 on at&t and I chose it over the One X (despite costing $100 more than the One X) because the features seemed really cool. S-Voice and other little things that would make life a little easier. Stuff like s-beam, s-voice, various motion things, swipe to screenshot, etc. Google now is so much faster than s-voice though and pretty much everything else can be achieved with third party apps. So now I'm wondering if I should return the s3 and get a One X or not.a
Any comments or suggestions that can male this choice easier?

Read the forum. It's not like there aren't 100 other threads regarding this same subject already.
Oh, and see my signature.
S3 would be be an ideal choice than HTC One X.
Ok i will change it up. HOX no way, I but HOX+ I would say that is worth entertaining when it is released.
The only thing worth having in the HOX is its screen. It uses the same cpu, less memory, lower battery, no sd and bootloader locked (I believe it is still the same but not 100%.)
HOX+ will have better screen, less ram, faster cpu and same size battery as S3. Also I believe the HOX+ will come out at either 32gb or 64gb.
Hopefully that helps a little.

Unless I hear the One X+ has an unlockable bootloader on AT&T, I'm keeping my sgs3. The reason I switched to this phone was the bootloader shenanigans.
Had the One X with Rogers for 2 months then went to SGSIII. Nuff said
I switched from a One X too. Gs3 hands down better

Samsung optimizes their phones a lot better than HTC. There's also fewer bugs. Material wise, the HTC are better though.

This phone has the same polycarbonate as the one x. It just has a different finish.
Samsung is the king of android right now and it seems they will be for a long time. The optimization, features and power combo are the ultimate in phones/ tablets

I too came from a Hox, but I switched bc I couldn't unlock the bootloader. The thing I loved about the Hox was its beauty, it was the most beautiful device I've owned. I didn't like the screen honestly bc I could see the grid on it (drove me insane)

So if I'm gonna root it and install Cyanogenmod or maybe AOKP, is the GS3 worth the $100 premium?
I say yes, absolutely. Especially if you also keep in mind the the OX doesn't have expandable storage. We have great development support in the community and your phone will perform better than you thought possible.
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB.
My gf has the gs3 and I have a one s that has the same chip as the hox. I have no idea were the gs3 has more power comment has come from. Out of the box it was just hitting between 4000 and 4500 on quadrant. My one s out of the box was 4500 and up. Running sense on my one s and a over clocked kernel to 2.1ghz I'm getting between 6000 and 6500. I put her gs3 on task and knootesz aokp with the 2.1ghz kernel and I'm lucky if her phone hits 5000. Even in linpack it only gets a 45. She also has been asking me to make her phone snappier like mine because it just pops apps right open. I honestly am kind of bummed because I recommended the s 3 because I thought it would be fun to mess with and pretty powerful but I've just been unimpressed, I was actually a little jealous that she got the gs3 because I thought it would be more powerful than+my phone . I will admit though it has a beautiful screen.
Edit; if the boot loader thing is a deal breaker for the hox, the flash GUI app takes care of the problem

Absolutely. For that extra 100 bucks you get a removable battery and sd card slot, not to mention no more racing against htc and att to find exploits. The One X is as locked down as an iphone.

Right, Okay.
Another reason I've kind of been wondering about the HOX is because I've had two phones stolen already–just this past week it was my Skyrocket, which prompted the upgrade–and since the HOX doesn't have a removable battery, it seems less stealable.Because then they can't remove the battery and the phone can be tracked, right? Or am I wrong about this?

With HTCs latest move of removing htcruu.com and no s off.
As well as build problems. I.e, sensation death grip and hox, yellow spots, wifi.
What will you be moving to next and why?

I have 4 choices , note 3, iPhone 5s , next nexus or the one x successor with TegrA 4, I love my one x but u think that Htc should improve the audio and optimise the os better.

Re: What is your next phone after HOX and NO A-OFF
To be honest my first android phone was HTC ,I had all the phones with all the problems you mentioned ,I think I need to get away to Samsung phones and see the performance ,get accustomed with rooting and all with Samsung and then decide if its worth it ,cause honestly I couldn't care less about sense and built quality if performance and battery life is good ,the end of the day phone life is 2 years.im Sure a plastic Samsung will last 2 years rather than good built quality with component deffects and all the crap that HTC is doing now
htc one x
htc again
Me too. I like sense but feed up of HTC and their antics. I'm going to move to xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
i had the htc tytn then desire and now one x ,next phone will be samsung,there so much easier to mod ,cant htc see thats why samsung have a huge customer base,
My OneX stopped working due to water damage. Not stocked anymore so insurance gave me a GS3 32g.
Had one when released and hated it.
New one on jellybean is good though.
Still miss the one x but Samsung aren't really that bad. Stock vs stock goes to HTC with Sense.
That being said I can't wait for Xperia Z.

No more HTC i'm done with them. I might go for Xperia XL or any other device .. Maybe the next MIUI device rumored with T4.
I dont know yet, i have hox and sg3, so i guess no one this year, no more HTC for sure... No soff, so, by htc. Gonna break for sure, at least phones. Will keep building only windows phones, so i predict competition with nokia only.
So the only brand is Sony and Samy, Sony will see no updates as it should, son maybe ending with Samsung.
Thanks for everything Htc, great phone, tegra is great on gaming but battery sucks in JB. Uncontrolled ota, ruu encrypted.. And more.. But well, hox still a great phone but .won't buy an htc phone anymore. Even if they give us SOFF.
And i dont lie.

Samsung S4..

If S4 has awesome design then I ll go for it. Otherwise HOX until sth nice pops up!
On the road using my HOX
Unless HTC goes back to its glory days, this November I am getting a GS4 or the GNote 3.
I'm done with HTC. If I want to have a expensive peace of crap I will buy a IPhone. Because of there strategie to keep the devices locked within the future they should keep this trash!
I'm waiting for my Note2.
Some interesting comments. Seems there is abit of frustration with htc. Was going to go for the butterfly but All butterfly has is a bigger screen and krait.
but I'm moving to Sony Now. Atleast they do not break promises or let customers down

I was thinking about getting a Note 2, i dont really see a point in the S4, its basicallly a miniature Note 2 with a slightly sharper screen. But a friend of mine has a Note 2, and his one after about 6 months of use is slowed to a crawl, ive got a trusty Galaxy S1 handy and even that outpaced it through the general UI although i didnt have many apps on it. How bad is the lag? And is it only with a the stock roms? Surely 2 GB of RAM is enough to keep it running without problems.
Does your friend by any chance have eleventy billion apps installed and storage full of crap they never use?
Lag should not be an issue. Even if it is, backup - wipe - restore - good as new.

Well ive just come from s3 and its a lot faster with less or no lag, and loving bigger screen
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Yeah wondering the same - how did he get it to lag? I use custom touchwiz based ROM, debloated, and there's zero lag.
Lag? What does this word mean? Buy the note ii and you wont regret it....also check if your friend has the phone in power saving mode! only there i can see lag!
I think your friend installed a lot of apps that resides in the memory and run on background. I think most users here doesn't have that problem even on stock rom.

After almost 9 months of owning not a slightest lag, mine is not rooted and complete stock.
I don't know what the hell lag means. My one only freeze for nanosecond when I go from apps to widgets.
