Let me tell you why. Like it's not enough that they pirate devices, people support them! I don't get it! Sorry If I sounded rude, it just pis*es me off (not you, the ones that pirate ). You know, the guys over at HTC invested so much effort and time in this device and....nevermind. You can ask for custom roms and root on XDA's General or "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" section. Most of the chinese fake phones got their root exploits from there.

I'd feel such a bellend with a cloned chinese device.
Won't you feel stupid when people say, "Is that a One X" and you have to sit there and explain no, its a "iHTC One X EX"?
Like, WTF?

haha course not..
mate its almost the same, yeah its not quite a one x i get that, but where else can you get them specs for that price?
if anyone asks 'is that a one x' i'll happily reply with 'nah, its a chinese copy, with 1GB RAM, Dual Core 1.2Ghz processor, dual sim' and then follow up with '..and it cost me £115'
sorry but i definitely wont feel a bellend, its called saving money.. the Nexus 4's cheap price showed everyone we're all being robbed blind, so i decided to look elsewhere and found a kick ass phone for a kick ass price.. simple as that

That phone will probably have nothing in common with the real HTC one X except the look

Yes they call it ics....with a non ics version number and a non existing bootloader number and non existing strange cid number ....etc.... etc.... etc.....

I don't know mate ive seen all these devices if its what you can afford none of us can say anything. You will limit yourself on roms. Various compatibility. I don't agree these devices shoudnt exist. Phone manufacturers make a lot of money not only sim free but contract providers etc. They do overcharge for what they are made for
But if someone uses it and they know the x they will spot it instantly
Main point though it limits you mate and it will never have the power of the original

[Q] Low storage space?

As per any sources I've seen online, the HOX is supposed to ship with 32GB storage, ~25GB user available. However, this does not seem to be the case with my phone, as seen in the screenshot below.
Am I looking at the wrong place? Do these numbers not represent what I think they represent? Or was I mistakenly given a unit with 16GB storage and that I should request an exchange?
This phone was purchased under contract from Singtel, in Singapore, if that changes anything.

Hi Mate is this screenshot of the One X as your icons etc are completely different to mine. It may be because im still running stock but the icons on the screenshot above look to be honeycomb icons? If this is the one X mine states
Total Space 25.24Gb
See mine...unfortunately, the xda premium app has gone crazy...doesnt allow to upload pics easily lately....
EDIT : Pic is not showing up.... mine is 25 GB as stated by above person.

Have you tried a reset?
Mine is 25 gb as well
Edit: okay I can't upload pictures from XDA app either

I believe the US model had only 16 GB as well as using the dual-core snap dragon instead of the Tegra 3. Maybe you have a US model.
If you go into Settings - About - Hardware Information, what does it say under Processor?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Out of the 32gb , you have around 2gb of internal memory and 25gb of external memory, the rest is used by the operation system.
John.
Why is the image only 360 × 640 ?...
Yes, the Krait S4 version of the HOX only comes with 16GB storage while the Tegra 3 version comes with 32GB.
Hi, thanks for all the quick replies!
I have attached the screenshot of the hardware information screen, plus HTC is advertising all over Singapore, on all of them saying that this features Tegra 3, first QC in the world blabla, so I doubt I have a S4 variant.
The screenshots are taken natively by voldown + power, so I have no idea why their resolution is so much lower.
Possibly related, apparently my phone has been loaded with the bloatware of all 3 telcos in SG, plus all those in Malaysia.
Could someone from SG do a cross-referencing for me? If I'm not wrong, f13ry_1ce resides here as well.
You buy yours from sim lim?
From your pic you should have the 32gb HOX. Email [email protected] maybe they will replace your device for you.

Here in Malaysia telco's fortunately do not have any of their own bloatware. They still come with the HTC stuff that's really stupid though. What's the point of installing HTC Watch on a phone with a software version for Asia if you're not going to let us use the damn thing.
Also, very weird that you have so little storage. Check it out with your warranty supplier.
Just got a reply. They prompted me to do a factory reset, which I did. Guess what. The total storage turned into 25.24Gb! Never knew factory resets could do such wonders.
Thanks for your help, guys!

Should I get 'SH25' batch HOZ??

hello members,
I've been waiting for quite a while to get HOX....at last time has arrived for me....
But for my bad luck, HOX from SH25 batches are only available in my area(INDIA).
So, I just want your opinion on this, as it from MAY batch, i'm doubtful about its hardware issues
the question is; SHOULD I BUY HOX FROM SH25 BATCH??
IS THERE ANY HARDWARE ISSUES WITH THOSE BATCH HOX?
I have one of those and so far so good
Only problem is the wifi, and the fact I got a variant 2, but everything else is perfect

Well, they're not really different versions. Sounds more like binning to me, with the bin written to the chip.
I have the Grey SH25FW since a month now and its been running awesome ! No issues at all :fingers-crossed:
Simply loving it..
If you read bigoliver's thread there's plenty of people owning sh/ht 25 that got the wifi problem.
If possible try to get a unit from a newer batch like July. Maybe go to different stores in different cities.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

[INDIA] HTC 10 India Users - All discussions

So, this is what I read:
S652, 32GB, 3GB
HTC done it again
Who all is getting one? I will still get it - maybe from Singapore (S820, 64GB, 4GB)
And my color would be the black one!!
HTC india site's specs says SD 652 with 3GB RAM. It seems we don't have SD820 variant in India. Disappointed
Model is HTC 10 Lifestyle instead of HTC 10.
http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-10/
Sometimes you need to wait and see as there is no official launch yet. HTC messed up the details in the website in different countries. It could be wrong information posted in their website too,.

This is really disappointing. A substandard flagship model. Discrimination.
---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------
Was really looking forward to getting phone but HTC has killed it. How can they do this.
So no HTC for me, I guess.
HTC always treat Indian market as secondary, they did this with other models as well. Will wait for next Nexus or probably go with S7 as no other phone match its features.
I agree... this is very disappointing news.. Like if this is true HTC fuked up real bad!!...
Maybe they might launch the full 10 version as well, coz india got the m9+ and e9+.. instead of the m9 and e9... so if we see the trend... HTC has been launching all good phones in india as well... so until there is certainty.. i think i'll hold on to the hope that HTC made a mistake and/or the will lunch the full 10 in the future.. with a flagship price around 50k ... and that the lifestyle is going to be a lower - high range flagship like somewhere around 40k
PS: I dont Thnk I'll buy the lifestyle, I'll get an unlocked version from Singapore or Dubai maybe

Really hope they give us the 820 version...or will have to purchase from US or eBay.
I',m from Indonesia, and htc.com/id posted only the HTC10 lifestyle in their website. But the supports team (yes, i mailed them) said that they will also release the flagship S820 with 4GB of Ram along with the S652 variant. So yeah, 2 of them. Still, they need me to wait as the plan are not yet finalized.
In India, support team said(in chat) to wait for official announcement. They don't have date for it though.

Is our phone a lost hope?

no promised updates, no good custom Roms, no one wants to port lineage os for us, and the list goes on and on.
if by March still no update by HTC, I'll be giving up on HTC products and venture into OnePlus. so sad to see HTC gone to ****. /rant
Totally agree with you.
Let's talk about the alternatives / improvements.
5 inch display, dual sim, microUSB expansion and stereo sound are my "must have".
Any decent alternatives out there?

I myself prefer a minimum screen of 5.5 the bigger the better but definitely not beyond 6 or maybe 6.2(I'm gonna wait for s8 xl to come out to see if 6 is my max or 6.2) dual SIM is not a must for me but it's nice to have i guess. expansion is a must i think for external backup and such. our HTC one stereo speakers are just soo soo good though I'm gonna miss it for sure. AMOLED is a must for my next phone it's just so beautiful! ofcourse the camera has to be superior too.
at the moment i really am considering OnePlus due to its versatility and support and since I'm not from the US so pixel is out for me. to be honest, I'm gonna wait for note 8 and Nokia flagship to come out before i make my final decision. I grew up with Nokia if the flagship turns out to be superior I maybe going with Nokia i think.
If you are considering the Galaxy S8 or S8+ but miss the stereo speakers of many HTC phones dont forget the S8 and S8+ are remoured to also have stereo speakers,top and bottom. Though not at front ofcourse.
But guess we'll have to wait and see for sure.
On the topic of the E9+ and software updates I have recently emailed HTC support India side and they actually got back to me.
They did say the E9+ is only upgradeable to Marshmallow meaning it wont get Nougat.
But they didnt actually say it will be getting Marshmallow,only that its only upgradeable to Marshmallow.
I messaged them back asking if it will still defo be getting Marshmallow though. Still waiting for reply.
But it did sound like it will be getting it,but they cannot give me a timeframe as to when though.

out of curiosity, are you on stock e9+ or you have custom rom installed? if custom what room did you use? I'm from Malaysia and the only rom that works for me is E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip which I got from this site and it works just ok but not that great imo https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/boycracked.com/2016/02/05/official-stock-rom-firmwareruu-htc-one-e9-plus-a55ml-e9pw/amp/
Im on stock rom.
One advice. Don't buy **** models instead of flagship next time.
It's always the same with HTC, we should learn that at the end, is a ****ty company.

There is a very simple method to avoid phones like this with no support. Before purchase look into specs and search for "CPU" row. You see anything with "Mediatek" in the name you immediately forget about purchasing this phone. Works everytime.
