HTC One X owners, do you recommend the purchase?

Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?
Thanks

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!

I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!

short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes

The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had

I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.

Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops

Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

Don't you dare buying it! It's mine, my precious <3.
#Smeagol off
I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.

My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now

I recommend it.

Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

I can't help wondering why they chose to release an update that fixes a lot ONLY to the press... It makes no sense to me?

Clearly they weren't sure about it's stability/hadn't bug-tested it enough to release to all of their customers.
Should be out soon though

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.

YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super

Help !!

Guys I don't know much about this phone, I have an Xperia s, but I want to buy this phone for a relative of mine.. He's not gonna play a lot of games, only angry birds
Also only usage would be for making and receiving calls, no messaging, hardly any surfing and no any rooting stuff. Camera use is seldom, prime use would be calling.. He likes this phone as it is good looking and cheap with the HTC brand and ics!! He loves HTC sense ui, is it too laggy on this phone??
And Is it worth buying ??
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

One V will easily surpass your requirements. What surprises me is why he need a smartphone at all !!! Get any phone in sub 350$ range for that kind of use. You can also try htc wildfireS or if he is ready to wait, he can opt for the upcoming Desire X which has 4.0'' screen (angry birds will really look angry on that!) if particular with the sense UI. Xperia Neo L is another option for the same range outside HTC.
One V is worth its price. But I am not sure whether your requirements justify buying a smartphone itself.

Sluggish stock rom

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?

Why the huawei ascend p1 sucks!

This phone is probably one of the worst phones I have ever had, When I first looked at it I though it was slick had a nice screen, good camera,dual mikes, and HDMI out and was not a bad phone, what a silly mistake that was, This phone is a complete and utter PITA ! And this is the list of reasons why I regret this phone and went back to my s2 and why the Ascend p1 is going Asap !
1: This phone get Hot , I don't just mean warm I mean HOT HOT HOT ! You could keep your coffee warm on it ! It sometimes gets so hot you have to turn it off for fear it may damage the camera ! How good is that? The only way to stop it is to lower the clock speed to 1200 which kind of defeats the point ! My old s2 can be working it bum off and it never gets that hot ! Huawei major fail no 1
2: The volume sound quality and volume with some apps is pathetic, apparently you have to turn the radio on and turn the volume down and sometimes it fixes it !! I mean WTF ???? WHAT KIND OF CRAP ARE THEY PUMPING OUT OVER THERE? FAIL No 2 !
3.The signal ! up down.... up down..... up down ....Its like a working girls panties, Never known nothing like ! ..Fail No3
4. Internet keeps disconnecting (CRAP ROM ) Refer to point 2
5.. Updating Firmware to stock is a complete joke! All you get is version verify fail over and over no matter what build.prop you use or recovery you install, I mean whos idea was that? they should be arrested for crimes against humanity and put on trial ...Fail no5
6: no native gsm video calling, you have to use a third party app, and that's a big fail, s2 straight out the box video calling, if your on giffgaff in the uk that's free video calling, could be a deal breaker ..
7: No jellybean official update.. THAT IS A BIG FAIL ! UK Networks are chucking these out 2 a penny at the moment , my advice choose something else !
Its redeeming features are a good screen and not a bad battery life for its size and its slim and that is it ! I will never buy a phone made in china again, the best phone ever made in china was the blade which I have a oled version and its still working and reliable now, never had a problem, no phone can compete with it on price and quality and more important reliability and stability !

Also uses fake ARM cortex a9 cpu(cortext a9) and fakePowerVR sgx540(povervr sgx540) so iI guess that's why it sucks. Maybe get a case for it so you don't get your hands burnt

So GSMarena says Cortext A9 but they mean Cortex A9.P1 has OMAP 4460 chipset, same what gnex got, so its not fake...

Take it back, and ask for a replacement. I've didn't experienced any of these 7 issues, only the video calling thing. I don't think it's important, but I can use the Google Video Chat, which is good enough for me.
Sorry for my bad english.

Best considering spec and price and bad in terms of official support

For me it's one of the best phones I've ever had.. I play games(heavy) on my p1 and they're very smooth!
I use heavy apps all the time and around 20+ apps are open in the background!
My phone gets warm like all other phones, not so HOT, I've experienced it just once in 2 years and that was just once. No complains on this
My U9200 is the best phone ever!
Jelly bean is finally out but hey, who cares when you've got xda? I'm using kitkat now and it's just so awesome!
One of the greatest devices buddy, get yourself a replacement soon

[Q] From Htc One X to Xperia Z , Is it the good decision?

As Xperia Z is 5 inches FHD screen with 13 mp camera back and 2 mp in front , with also going to get 4.4 kitkat .
Is it a good to go decision to sell my htc one x and go for Sony Xperia Z ?!
what I will be losing is sense ui , beats audio and ips screen .
So help me out please ?! Would highly appreciate the same!
*** do not suggest me any other phones not even z1, etc ***

The most logic thing would be to get an HTC one, I have the Sony xperia z but honestly I'd rather the HTC one because of the design, developer support etc, although you won't regret buying the xperia z haha

I need to see my pocket so only please anyone just tell me for xperia z . Thank you as you told me that I won't regret buying if I'll go for xperia z from htc one x .
Please let me know more if screen clarity/quality will be really better than one x, in-ear sound will be better or equal to beats audio sound? Camera is really good in normal and low light or not ?! battery performance ?! and anything else ?!

Ok, sound you may prefer htc, cause they are one of the best at sound, the Sony xperia z in-ear is not bad, but the external speaker is way worse than htc, I don't really use the external speaker, as I have bluetooth speaker and headphones.
The screen is really good as good as htc or maybe better, bigger screen and good visual angles (I'm not English I don't know the word, I mean that you can see the device really well even if you tilt the screen) camera is a whole way better than htc, specially the stock one, I mean If you flash a custom rom you'll lose some features, but it'll still be amazing. I gotta say it's not that great when dark, but, can htc one take a video under the water?
The battery isn't the best thing of the xperia z, it's alright, depending on your use, If you just use message and stuff during the day it may last until 6 o'clock. Although I've seen a really big improvement using custom roms such as cyanogenmod and aokp. I've used pac rom, the phone will be great and you'll really make use of the 5 inch screen, but the battery won't be that great, still, I highly recommend you to give it a chance.
I think that's it, if you need anything else, let me know, btw I may sell my xperia z on perfect conditions, If you're interested, contact me,
Thanks button if I helped

I know you're saying that we shouldn't suggest you other phones. But, have you considered the Nexus5? It's available for Rs. 28999 on the playstore. Almost the same as Xperia Z(maybe a little less).
Sent from my One X

My dad has a Xperia z and the speakers although clean are as silent as well something really quiet. My one x is louder but to me not as clean. If it was me, I'd go with a nexus 5, HTC one or wait a bit and see what comes out of mwc and the events after.

Ah, I see. I think it'll be wiser to stay with the OneX for now and save some money and buy the next flagship. The Z will be a very minor upgrade in terms of performance and you'll notice that OneX screen and speaker is a lot better.

Ya I better save and go for htc one single sim soon or its next if something like that comes, will not go for dual sim . Damn htc one 801 is good but they copied something from nokia in its camera, so secretly htc compromised with nokia and stopped making it and are just selling the dual sim which is expensive and lacks that camera technology.

And with the MWC so near, we all see phones from other manufacturers as well. But for me, HTC is still the #1 choice.
