[Poll] Which device are you coming from? Are you happy with One X?

I started a new thread to see what do you think for HTC One X and which device are you coming from ?
My first android device was HTC Desire HD and after that i replaced it with the Samsung Galaxy SII but i was missing HTC Sense a lot plus every time i flashed a new ROM the recovery was not the same on the GSII and the development was pretty much the same on every ROM, so i decided to go back and get an HTC device and a got the One X and i am very happy with it!
Happy users: Display, Sense, Design, Internal storage, Camera
Unhappy users: S-ON, Battery life, Non removal battery, No SD card

Original Desire->SGS2->HOX, I too missed sense too much. I like the device especially the screen(finally I can read full webpages unzoomed!) but it's not as fast as I had hoped. I gave my gf the One S before buying the HOX for myself but the One S just appears to be much, much faster. Speedwise the HOX is about as fast as the SGS2

Came from Note....except battery life, everything is awesome

If we are talking only android phones I started with an xperia x10i. Then moved on to HTC incredible S and now to my one x.
Those has been my daily use phones but as secondary phones I've also had HTC wildfire, HTC desire and LG optimus 2x.
Actually I like my hox the best even though I haven't even rooted it.

From Samsung Galaxy S -> HOX. And I'm VERY happy! Kies was real pain in the ass!
I customized SGS after one day of use, now I don't even think about to put custom firmwares to One X.. No need to customize.

I come from a total HTC lineup...Desire,DesireHD,Sensation and now the One X.
I love the One X but i`m very sad at the way HTC have made it harder and harder for true enthusiasts to get total control..i.e. locked bootloaders,no S-off.Seems HTC want to forget their rooting community

Came from HTC Sensation and happy with the One X:
1: bigger and better screen
2: quad core CPU
3: internal storage
4: design is better
5: better camera
Not so happy about:
1: non removal battery
2: no SD card slot

Came from the dinosaur age, nokia e66
Htc one x as my first android phone
Happy with: Big screens+awesome display, quad core, awesome design
Unhappy with: S-on, built in battery

Desire -> Desire HD -> One X
Honestly couldn't be happier with my HOX! Coming from a DHD - and even then not using a spare battery - the battery in this is so much better, so I don't find it to be an issue. Also, no expandable memory isn't an issue for me as beforehand I only had an 8gb card, I know they fairly inexpensive to buy but having 32gb from the off is brilliant.
Other points I love are the camera, gaming and Sense 4.0 of course!

This is my first android device after being an Apple user for years. Couldn't be happier and will never go back

Came from Galaxy S and samsung sucks! HTC One X is best! I just need S-ON others are perfect!

Coming from the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Very happy in comparison, its very nice to be able to charge my phone via the USB cable!
When USB ports break, it makes you appreciate them a lot more!

I'm an old HTC addict, changing my cellphone every ~2 years
spv C500 >> HTC Tytn2 >> HTC Touch Pro 2 >> HOX
of course, HOX is a big improvement for me !

Used HTC Desire & then moved to Sony Xperia x10i(Indian launch was delayed & i somehow liked this device over Desire because of even battery life etc) & now the One X
I like One X for larger display, ICS, uni-body design, Quad Core & of course the Sense UI
Dislikes would mainly be battery life, non user accessible battery

I came from Original Desire and very happy with Hox
Better and bigger screen (Love It)
Bigger Internal storage (and this why I hated My Desire)
Beats audio
ICS+Sense 4.0 (F*** TW)
htc better than other Manufactures and faster in Updates ( Samsung the worst)
The best design ATM

Comming from the HTC Hero, first impression: The screen is huge! Like it a lot actually, finally I can read/write mails properly on this screen. Doesn't really fit in my pants just yet though, but then yet again when I got my Hero I first thought that bugger was quite large. Guess I have to get used to the feeling.
HTC Hero was also the first device which had HTC Sense, back then it was quite sluggish and I quickly embraced AOSP ROMs. But at the One X, I think they quite hit the nail. It is quite functional while the speed is just massive.

I came from iPhone 4s and iPhones for the past 4 years.
I just needed a change. I can get all the stuff I Jailbroke stock on the one x. I'm liking the change

I come from a touch hd/DHD/ and now my one x. Can't comment properly as only had it a day. But so far I'm impressed. First thing I did when I got it was unlock and put ARHD on it best thing I did tbh. The stock was horrific... :-\

I still have my Note, didnt get rid of it yet. Bought the One X for my sister, but it will be with me until her exams are over.
I got a defective piece to begin with, but HTC took it back and gave me brand new sealed pack piece (This time it was 24A and it is flawless).
Overall I am OK with the phone. No issues with interface, I quiet like the Sense 4.
MY problem is with the buttons. Volume and power buttons should have been better. (Operating them when laying on bed at night can be a problem due to lack of feedback and difficulty in finding power key )
And coming from Note, the battery life is little bit of downer. Also hate the battery stats issue where it does not show the real battery usage and indicator suddenly drops 5-10%.
Surprised by the screen quality. Good stuff from HTC in that department.
Not happy with 3 dot menu at all. Its stupid. Consolation is that we have fix and button remapping mod.
I have mixed feelings about this phone. I am also not wooed in by the polycarbonate build. Its amazingly light, but It feels odd in hands. Maybe its just matter of getting used to it. Also I dont have case for it yet. So once that comes, this should be non issue.
Great stuff from HTC in a while, but dont think its the best they could have done.

Is the HTC One V worth getting?

Hi guys and girls
I lost access to my old XDA account but I decided to make a new one so here I am.
I used to be very active in the HTC Wildfire section but my contract with Three ran out so it's time for upgrading my device and I have chosen to go with a Virgin Mobile contract that includes the HTC One V Device.
So what I am basically asking is after viewing some reviews for myself I would like to know the following...
1) Is the HTC One V a smooth, fast and reliable device with it's stock ROM?
2) Is the device up to standards for example is it as good as you thought it would be?
3) Do you personally think that the HTC One V is better than the HTC Wildfire and if so why?
Also I have seen some videos on YouTube and some people were saying that the device has a battery that cannot be detached and others were showing the device with a detachable battery so are there two different versions of the same phone? :S
Thanks guys

1) Yes mine is very quick even with the stock rom. I've since rooted it and installed CM9 but that was not because of performance/reliability problems stock but rather because I wanted more options available to me
2) Mine is so much better than I thought. It just works. Of course I came from an Optimus V so it's definitely a big improvement.
3) Everything I've heard says this thing beats the Wildfire out of the water!
I should note that the One V (among other phones) is 20% off at virginmobileusa.com right now. I paid full boat for mine now I wish I had waited a few weeks! Oh well no complaints.
Mine does NOT have a detachable battery but if you hold the power button down for ten seconds it forces it to power off.

Yes,
I recently moved from a desire,.
The Desire is very similar in specs to the One V, but:
* much brighter screen
* no messing with data2sd, or other scripts. Given the nand size of the V I reinstalled all the same 92 apps as my desire, room for way more. And way faster and smoother as everything is on the nand. I believe this will apply to you as well coming from the wildfire.
*having the latest and greatest is awesome. (ics and sense 4.0) On my desire I had all the "smooth rosie" tweaks I could find to flatten 3d effects etc. Speed was more important to me. Because of this I do NOT mind that we are missing 3d effects that the S and X have.
Make the move Dude, you'll Love this phone if you liked the wildfire.

I just got it last friday and I love it.
Better than My nexus S and that lame zte avail.

I understand you are not first to an android phone. So to answer your 3rd question first - Wildfire is NOT a competition for One V (in all regards). And question 2, yes it is better than what I thought it would be. and finally to question 1. It will surely depend on what you intend to do with the phone. If you are looking to buy an everyday phone, One V will be a good option (I am on stock ROM)

[Q] Planning to buy HTC One X- beginner questions

Hello!
I'm new to the forums and Android. Right now, I'm an owner of an iPhone 3GS.
I'm getting a new phone because I'm sick of all the lagging and Apple may not create apps/games for my old 3GS anymore.
Now, to my questions.
1. Does One X lag (even a little) when browsing internet, playing games or even in Android.
2. I plan on getting the EU version, which should be 32GB and quadcore(not really a question, just claryfing).
3. Can I root ANY version of One X?
4. Should I root? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
5. How does the Flash Player work? Can I like play online games which require flash player?
6. Should I buy a case, if yes, which? I was using iSkin on my 3GS, but they dont make one for HTCs.
7. Will I be able to install ANY version of Android which comes out?
8. I want a top-end smartphone. Is there some kind of app/game that One X cant run?
Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert so will try and answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.
1. I've had my One X for a couple of months and am more than happy, I'm still on 1.29 Orange UK and browsing and games are pretty good, I've no complaints anyway. I believe some people said phone got better with the 2.17 update.
2. There is a thread about a 16GB version, I think someone got one from dialaphone UK, just double check.
3. I'm pretty sure you can root any version, but might have a little wait if newer FW comes out. Someone with more knowledge might be able to confirm this better.
4 Root is just like jailbreak on Iphone, I always root mine so I can delete all stuff I dont want.
5. I don't play online games but flash works for me, I watch football at work at night.
6. Case is entirely your choice.
7. Who knows? but I assume we'll be able OK for a couple of years (updates).
8. Some people might have problems with some apps they use, mine work fine.
Hope this helps you a bit. Overall I'm more than happy with my HOX. I had a Galaxy S2 then went to the Sony Xperia S for a few weeks and then onto the HOX

I would wait for the one x+ that's got a bigger screen 1.7ghz tegra 3 and lte

If your rooting plan is to upgrade to the latest version of android...eg jellybean, beat in mind that flash is no longer supported, thus harder to install and update

Looks like I'll wait for the HTC One X+, the release date should be in early October.

Bigger screen? Like 0.1" bigger to match the s3 ?
Doesn't need a bigger screen bigger battery would be better.
To op, beauty of android means that you can complie any android and port it to any device.
So yeah newer versions of android should be updated by HTC or Xda.

Uhm, I think I've read somewhere that the HOX+ should have 4.5'' screen?

Hox+ should be the same as the One X but with quad and lte. I don't think they will downsize the screen.
If you need lte then go for the One X+ if you don't then go with the international One X as the development is better than any other variant as of the moment.
Official jelly bean is due very soon rumours early as next month so it'll get even better!

5inc screen and a replaceable battery I think it sounds really good they say they fixed all the problems we had with this one

Well, now I've found out about HTC One XXL which should have 2GB RAM and 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, so yeah, I might even wait for that one...
Guess I'll just wait and see when One X+ and One XXL comes out and I'll decide.

[Q] HTC one xl

I am with Orange (UK) and I just got an HTC One XL! I previously had a One X and it overheated and the soft keys broke. I got a One XL as a replacement as the One X was out of stock. Is the only difference the fact that it is LTE/4g?

It's also dual core. And therefore possible to S-OFF.

you can't flash any international tegra 3 ROMs anymore

And you need to go to another part of the forum now. Its the AT&T, rogers, HTC one XL forum

I had assumed all of these, minus the S-OFF thing. So that's all good. Thanks so much guys. Sucks though, I really enjoyed the normal one x forum.

Question regarding ROMs on One X and One X+

Hi there,
i have a question that might be just plain stupid, but it is something i'd really like to know. My question is: can ROMs for the One X+ be used on the One X, or is that impossible? I would like to know this because i'm about to buy a new phone, and i want it to be as futureproof as possible.
For obvious reasons the One X+ would be more futureproof regarding the specs, but i'm afraid since there were not as much sold of it as the One X there won't be long-time support for it with custom ROMs. Also, i definitely want MIUI on it, and i haven't seen MIUI for the One X+ yet. So if ROMs for the One X could run on the One X+, that would be great for me since it would mean i can have my phone longer before needing to replace it. Also i would be getting the bigger storage and faster processor. ( T30 vs T33.)
In a nutshell: i want the phone that is the longest time supported by MIUI, and since there were more One X's sold than One X+'s i'm afraid they'll only port MIUI to the One X, and therefore it would last longer. But if ROMs for the One X can also run on the One X+, then i would have a futureproof device that is also a bit faster and has more storage than the One X.
So is this possible?
Best regards,
dbhuis.

Don't be so confused mate!
The only difference between the One X and X+ is the extra few MHz which you don't need
and if you want your phone running latest custom roms, One X rom development is better than X+!

No you can not install a one x+ rom on a hox and vice versa !
They have their own section for a reason

@vin4yak: Okay thanks man, i know it's clocked higher but i wondered if there might be another graphics chip in there but if there isn't there is no point in getting it.
@ Mr Hofs: Relax man. I knew it was improbable ( hence the sentence "i have a question that might be just plain stupid" at the beginning of the post) but it would just have been awesome if it was possible, that's all.

What do you mean "relax" ... I'm just confirming your question. I'm not into typing a massive story. You ask a question i gave the answer !

The main difference is the battery and the memory. The o/c and graphics difference are minimal. There are some carriers in the UK who still provide the One X but say the One X+ is EOL, for some reason.

Then i guess it doesn't matter much. I am using 8GB sdcard now, so 32GB will be enough. Bigger battery is nice but not really exciting, so it's good to hear that the differences are minimal.

I know bigger batteries are better, but if i have to choose between custom ROM support or a bigger battery, i choose the custom ROM support. Also, it has the companion core so it should not be using much energy when in sleep.
And since i don't use it intensively it will be in sleep mode a lot.
And on the HD2 that i have now i can get through a day with about 80% left average. That is with a smaller battery, so i think the HOX will do just fine with a bigger battery. If it doesn't, i'll just fully charge it and delete the battery stats. That has always worked for me very well.
