Gnexus to one x

Hi guys,
Considering moving from my nexus to the one x, has anyone done so and if you have any regrets? Pros / cons?
I'm sorely tempted but have a couple of reservations. Camera lens / battery life
I get 2 days out my gnexus
Thanks

I have a galaxy nexus galaxy s2 and 1x. Battery is pretty poor on the Ox iff you compare it to the gnex but im sure an update will sort it. Whats your concern about cam lens? Is it because it sticks out iff so i just keep mine in a pouch an dont put it in poket with keys just like any other device iv had. The handset other than that is awesome in my eyes
Mod or Die

Yeah it is the protruding lens, does the 1x come with a pouch? I like the nexus but do not like amoled screen that much
Think it is sometimes bad reading about issues

Personally i found the one x to have a MUCH better battery than the G Nexus, even with AOKP and Franco Kernels but hey....
1% drain over 8 hours idle.... My G Nexus couldnt manage that in a million years...

Thanks all
any regrets at all going to the one? All the stories of issues is making me wary
Might head to carphone warehouse at lunch time!

My Galaxy Nexus would drain 1-3% over night and last 2 days by average, One X currently drains much more, but lets wait for an update.
Apart from battery, there is no way I would go back to G Nexus. Just do screen comparison side by side and that's it
One X is faster, plays movies faster (it starts playing instantly), audio quality sounds the same to me, I tend to listen to musing for 6 hours a day by average.
WiFi is working as expected, not slower, not faster, no problems with 5GHz network.
One X is slimmer and fits in the same belt case I was using with G Nexus.
It took me just few hours with One X to know I'm keeping it, selling G Nexus in few days, it's powered off, I won't use it anymore.
Overall One X seems like huge improvement over G Nexus.

It is awesome can't see any yellow on the white boot screen and display is easy better than the nexus IMO, don't have the sim yet need to cut it when I get home
Nexus is acting as wireless hotspot so I can set it up lol

I was doing the same. I did cut my SIM but it was not compatible, it had too big contacts. If the metal part looks like a globe then you might have problems. Hopefully cut SIM worked in GNexus in an adapter, but didn't work in One X.
Went to O2 store and got replacement, can't get any easier that that, took literally 1 minute to get it.
Anyway, was using GNexus as hotspot for entire day before that sim replacement.
Now GNexus is bagged and there is no way I would go back to it. One X is that great.
Stuff I don't like about One X compared to Nexus: hardware button placements. Buttons should be in exact same positions as on G Nexus. I keep pressing Vol accidentally when plugging in usb cable. Power on top always requires me to reach out with second hand. Nexus had the buttons laid out perfectly.

Hi Zorachus
Vodafone UK sim cut and installed ok, no problems there though it looked close
So far I love it as the screen doesn't have that amoled grubbyness on some colours esp grey.
I don't know if there is some uneven areas but you can find faults on anything if you look hard enough lol
Only one charge 18 hours on battery WiFi on, 1 hour 40 on screen, 60% batttery left
Seen a couple of what was like screen brightness flickers but went away, it was very subtle and I didn't have auto brightness on, weird!
Have grey one and so far very pleased and I prefer the button layout as it is, I'm old school I guess
Bought from carphone warehouse and they have a 14 day return policy should something go wrong, the guy in the shop said they sell out pretty quick and had had no returns
Any questions let me know
Thanks

Agree with the OP, came from N9. And even though Nokia made the unibody sexy HTC definitely hit the top and it is much nicer too. Now I just need to get rid of these abnoxious speeds and it will last for weeks with only one charge.
Well done HTC.

Awesome phone I have to agree! I was from iPhone 4. And I must say wow ics on onex is really smooth and fast. Been rooting and flashing custom Roma nonstop its so addictive

i have owned a beautiful galaxy s2 and yeah first i thought it was cheap and plastic and it sucked. but i did drop that phone so many times and it never once broke or got screen scratched. and actually it felt beautiful in my hand and i loved it to death..now with my latest baby i do love it and i do think it looks a lot sexier than the s2 and you are correct..but it still feels plastic to me and as much as i know people hate me when i say this by far the sexiest phone build quality wise is the iphone 4 for me

Should o get the Gnex, or the newer HTC one s??

Is the galaxy nexus an over-all better device than the one s? Need to know so I can make up my mind over which to buy!

I think it is, if you like roms then the galaxy nexus will always have better development. I love the nexus I have had lots of high end phones and this is my favorite. I like the on screen buttons and how you can change them and the color. Good luck

Get the nexus. One S is garbage I played with it at the T-Mobile store by my housrle and was not impressed one bit... screen was disappointing. Sense 4 was disappointing... pretty much everything about it was sad.

To be short with words, Nexus! I would juist choose it for the 720p display!

The nexus has better screen size (4.65"), resolution (720p) and development.
The One S has better processor (dual-core s4) and custom hardware (image sense).
So it depends on what you want.

nexus vs one x i would understand. but why go one s unless you really want a smaller form factor.
honestly... i like most high end androids. but its always the nexus for me. stock android is the best... in my opinion at least.
id still take my galaxy nexus over the galaxy s3 or the one x. heck.. i never got tempted to replace my nexus one until the nexus s came out. but i finally jumped when the galaxy nexus got released.
if you like sense.. go for the one x. if you like smaller phones then go for the one s. go get the galaxy s3 if you can wait for that. but look at it this way... would you want the next iteration of android the soonest? if you wanna get jelly bean this year then there is no other choice but the galaxy nexus.

Not being biased when I was mainly comparing it to my old sensation. Nexus aside. If I were going straight to tmobile for a phone I wouldn't see the advantage in getting the one s over the sensation. To me the sensation screen looks better feels better in your hand and the one s cones in silver/grey with panzy blue trim on it. It was snappy but not an improvement over previous HTC models. Just disappointed with the one series is all. Nothing but hype

No Gnex does not feel cheap it feel like a great device specially with the on screen nav buttons camera is not bad but ain't great and the One S I think it has a better camera overall specially woth moving shots(with tryig out with my 2 year old and pets ) . one s feels better after a while the unibody design and thin part makes it look good. I would be happy with etheir one but the best options for rooters is Galaxy nexus IMO for other might be the one s

I would choose the GN over the One S. Tue ability to stay contract free appeals to me. Also, the bigger screen with better resolution is a no-brainer to me. The One S feels nice in hand and high quality. The GN is no slouch either. While it is plastic, it feels nice and has good heft. Just my .02.

I would rather use both the phones and buy the one which I feel like buying.

[Q] Have i made a mistake?¿

I wish i read the one x forum on xda before i purchased my one x instead of just reading glorified reviews!
If i look in general section or the Q&A section...they all seem to be full of complaints from Wi-Fi, screen build quality, scratches, sound quality and so forth and i must say I've not had the same experience with the sgs2!
Have i seriously made a mistake not buying the s3?
How many people would be willing to change their device if the money was no problem or straight swap hypothetically?
Or put it another way..would you buy one x again?

think of allllll the people who got the one x. the ones that haves problems AND wine about it is strictly resyricted to a very limited number, where as the rest and most of us enjoy our phones and have zero problems. no worroes man., ull be quite happy with urs as HTC have tightened quality control
at this moment in time, between the lte2, note, s3, and lg 4x hd, id drfinitely buy 1x all over again.

Don't let the fact that a few early adopters have had problems (and been very vocal about it) have any bearing on what you think. Unless you're having problems with your device it's irrelevant.

I've not really started using it yet but was just trawling around the forum before i started to root etc and finally move over as you can see I'm still posting using my s2!

I got mine (Tegra 3 unlocked) for $300 off Kijiji and am loving it. It's completely issue free. WiFi works 100%, same with the data. No regrets here.

I bought mine international/unlocked from NewEgg and it's perfect, none of the flaws and issues I've read about.
I think we're seeing something very similar to the iPhone 4 "antennagate." I had an iPhone 4 and know several other people with them and none of us ever, not even once, experienced the "death grip" with them. And yet, the media was full of reports about how the iPhone 4 suffered from dropped calls constantly and bad reception.
A few reports of problems will always get blown out of proportion and make the product look like it's defective by design, even when the problem is really just a few specific devices which had pretty run of the mill manufacturing flaws.
You have nothing to worry about. Pick up a One X and join the "World's Best Phone" club.

Everyone has issues to begin with at least with the one x you safe in knowledge it's not likely to explode in ur jeans pocket like the s3 did. HTC one x has a big brownie point atm its tegra 3 n all top game developers are jumping on board to try and harness that raw graphics power we have

1) how's the performance of the s3 compared to your one x?
2) does the battery last for a day with heavy usage?
3)The camera is amazing on one x. Just wondering if it's the same for the s3

The gs3 battery is significantly better due to the screen being nowhere near as bright and it also has the larger battery. If screen brightness is important to u ie outdoor visibility, stick with the x. The us version gs3 is leaps and bounds better than the one x BC of that extra GB of ram.

It's being developed as we speak.
Anywho, I switched from the one x mostly because I figured the development would be better and sammys are easier to work with in that regard. No need for fastboot flashing, no s-on troubles, no locked bootloader Yada Yada Yada. An example of this is the new att update for the one x that contains a new bootloader, which is further complicating development over there.
Also my one x in particular would lose radio signal fairly frequently, and im not the only one with that issue. Drove me nuts.

He means camera software. It has a dedicated imaging chip called ImageSense and can do real time photo manipulation and such. I still don't like One X photos because they're too saturated. GS3 photos are more realistic looking (funny how it's the opposite of their screens!).

The phone i had right before this was the rogers one x... simultaneously owned both for about three days as well swapped back and forth and stuck with the s3.
1) Much much much better on the siii, touchwiz seems to be a lot lighter than sense. I barely ever get lag on the siii vs the regular homescreen /launcher lag i used to get on the one x. Htc might have toned sense down in ics, but its still lags like a ***** compared when compared to other phones like galaxy nexus and the siii.
2) definitely, i find that the battery is on par with my one x (i had the rogers dual core version btw)
3) i find that the cameras on both devices are about equal in terms of quality. The one x has the edge in the better camera software though.
one major thing that sold me to the siii surprisingly were the ergonomics. i know a lot of people say the s iii looks cheap and whatnot compared to the one x but how the siii feels in hand is AMAZING, like the phone has such a large screen yet feels so small in hand. It is so much more comfortable to hold than the one x, the one x is thicker and feels more blocky thus it feels much larger in hand than the siii.
The one x has the edge on actual quality with its polycarbonate, but imo to me the ergonomics of the siii really won my heart. seriously if you havent had the time to see one, hold both the one x and the siii and youll notice how much easier the siii is to handle, while with the one x i had to stumble a lot to handle the device.
my $0.02 :good:

are there any issue with the s3? software wise. Please be honest! =)

I can only speak for myself, but after a month of use, I haven't had a single hiccup with the S3. No FCs, no reboots, nothing. Battery life is fantastic. I've also got the One X and I think they're both great phones. I do like the louder speaker on the S3 better and, for some reason, the camera is much better for me than the One X. I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong on the One X camera because I just can't get shots nearly as good as the ones I take with the S3.
But yeah, this is one solid phone. I'm extremely happy with it. :good:

I was referring to ImageSense actually. The refinements made by HTC to the stock android camera layout/software.

The phone i had right before this was the rogers one x... simultaneously owned both for about three days as well swapped back and forth and stuck with the s3.
1) Much much much better on the siii, touchwiz seems to be a lot lighter than sense. I barely ever get lag on the siii vs the regular homescreen /launcher lag i used to get on the one x. Htc might have toned sense down in ics, but its still lags like a ***** compared when compared to other phones like galaxy nexus and the siii.
2) definitely, i find that the battery is on par with my one x (i had the rogers dual core version btw)
3) i find that the cameras on both devices are about equal in terms of quality. The one x has the edge in the better camera software though.
one major thing that sold me to the siii surprisingly were the ergonomics. i know a lot of people say the s iii looks cheap and whatnot compared to the one x but how the siii feels in hand is AMAZING, like the phone has such a large screen yet feels so small in hand. It is so much more comfortable to hold than the one x, the one x is thicker and feels more blocky thus it feels much larger in hand than the siii.
The one x has the edge on actual quality with its polycarbonate, but imo to me the ergonomics of the siii really won my heart. seriously if you havent had the time to see one, hold both the one x and the siii and youll notice how much easier the siii is to handle, while with the one x i had to stumble a lot to handle the device.
my $0.02 :good:

Ditto to everything you listed... especially the ergonomics. The SIII simply feels so much smaller than the screen size would make you think it would feel. I can easily access the whole screen one handed with my thumb.
