HI guys
this isnt a troll post - i just need some simple facts from owners
I currently have the htc one x that been a love hate relationship, i love the device but hate the battery life, love the screen, hate the non removable sd card, you get the picture. Htc gave quiet a bit but took too much away and im afraid that maybe my last htc device after nearly 10 years of ownership.
Anyways, im a big audiobook fan and generally have them running 24-7 with the audible app or mort etc. The htc one x cannot and dosnt cut the mustard with battery life, even just playing simple mp3s the thing is dead in about 7 hours - playing games is just sad and pathetic.
How long playback are you guys getting with mp3 etc?
I love is rpgs, and have been playing Bards tale to death on my nexus 7 (the one x will die within 3 mins lol).
I know that its not a tegra processor but are you able to play these awsome games happily on your devices- or do you need root + chainfire? and does it nuke the battery in 1mins flat or are you getting reasonable run times?
I did have a samsung gtab 1 (gt1000) for a while, i loved the machine but really didnt get on well with touchwiz, i found it to ipod cartoony, generally just a horrible experiace, htc sense seems more adult and finished.
Have they made touchwiz more polished now or is it still the same as it was back on the old gtab? (not a deal breaker as i will load a launcher but just after some info)
The last thing is the screen - how is it in bright sunlight?, i was playing with an s3 when i compared it to the one x and it looked ok (though i must admit here the one x is a nicer brighter screen but thats off the point).
My contract is up on my phone so im seriously chewing over the note 2 - looking a the specs it seems perfect, but then again so did the htc one x on paper so please give me some real world experances so i can make a informed descion this time.
Many many thanks!!
I think welshandy had a HOX and got the Note 2 he might be the man to ask.

Hi, to give you an idea, even the HTC one X+ won't be able to beat the note 2, the battery being 3100, and jelly bean, is the best combination, and if that isn't enough, you can turn of fast dormancy (only Samsung?) And you have the error option as well, and did I mention a big screen as well

You can turn off fast dormancy on the HOX but need to be rooted I know on Samsung devices you can do this via the key codes.

Thanks guys, i decided to take the plundge and glad i did!!!
i just got the machine this morning, not charged it yet but ran it all day (after downloading a load of app etc) and its still got 40% left!!! (started with 60%)
I must admit there are two things i dislike but i can live with
1st the screen isnt as nice as the one x, but not noticable unless next to each other, the note has a blue tint. (ducks!!)
2nd is touch wiz, its not as bad as it was back on the galaxy tab but its still not very polished, though there are some really REALLY nice features
Both are not deal breakers for me though, ive always been a htc man but this machine has swayed me - just having removable battery and memory is a big deal after the one x, im seriously not suprised that htc are having problems after making thier machine so tied down with thier hardware.
Samsung has really looked hard at the user input and taken the ethos of android to heart, just with simple things like changing fonts easily and allowing the user to alter the LEDs is a big step in the right direction.
Another thing that suprised me was the build quality, coming from htc im used to phone that a built like tanks but this baby is solid and weighs the same as the one x - how the hell did they do that with that monster battery and screen.
IM now waiting for my number to transferre over from tmobile, ive done the deed with 3 as tmobile couldnt answer any of my questions and kept putting me off, the last thing they said to me was to call monday (after i had called 4 times and told to call the next day), thier excuse for having the handset at the higher price was because of the the 4g, well thats useless to most people in the country for the time being - i will keep my money and move away after nearly 20 years with the same company. and its saved me £15 per month lol.
thanks guys!!
hey Guys here at HTC..im just from the other door here from the galaxy phone
Been using and modding s1 and s2 for long...but i was Always an ericsson user before that, and im kinda in love with the new xperia display and everything else...
So over to the s2, i want to replace also being tired with galaxy,so far i was checking the reviews and found the ONE-X..
So what are your thoughts...should I go for the htc one x,x+ or S or the acro S?
or any other thoughts?

I've got the One X and it's brilliant! but if I didn't I would be going for the One X+ ....I still might!
Definitely wait for the One X+. If you liked the Xperia display you'll like SLCD2 probably in my eyes the best screen so far this year. Sure blacks are not as deep as on AMOLED but everything else is top notch.
64gb on the One X+ ample space, very good camera for a phone probably behind the great of Nokia but still good.
It's a good phone and Jellybean does make it improve a lot more than it did when the HOX first came out.

im currently using a moto defy right now, and im planning an upgrade. im hesitating between the x and the x+. 32gb is quite wnoigh for me, especially when usb otg is working, so i wouldnt miss the 64gb version. my only concern is the battery, but i was thinking that i could underclock the one x to 1.2ghz (i dont need gaming performance, and a 1.2ghz tegra3 can still handle the ui without lags), so the battery wouldnt be a big problem either, right?
i mean, i can get the x for around 415 euros, and the x+ will launch for 595 euros... its not worth the money, is it?

I Have One X a week before One X+ was introduced, little bit dissapointed, but it's One X it's still the superphone, so i just had a little disappointed no problemo. But if you had not bought it, i think waiting & buy One X+ would be nice..
One X+ has larger battery capacity, maybe due to it's increase in procie specification, but HTC said it has longer battery so it must be right

Me also, I was a bit disappointed when I had already had bought the phone, was reading and watching reviews comparing it to the S3 and the Samsung always winning, battery life being the biggest problem.
BUT I got the phone already with the 4.0.4 ICS and the Sense 4.1 upgrade. It makes it a totally different phone from what it was when it was first released. I think it's lightning fast and the battery lasts me more than a day, easily. There aren't many reviews comparing it to the S3 with this upgrade but the ones that exist show that they are very close matched nowadays.
I guess it depends on the kind of use you give your phone. I don't play games so I don't eat tones of battery life that way. 32GB of storage are more than enough for me as I don't use it to listen to music and I can upload photos and videos from the phone and then delete them, so I don't need the 64GB of the OneX+.
So, in my opinion, the extra money that the One X+ is going to cost is not something I would find worth it. Essentially I would be paying for a bigger battery when I feel mine is just fine, extra storage that I don't really need and the novelty factor that I don't care about. Coming to the One X from a Galaxy S, the extra money would make me consider the S3 that already has a huge battery (and the possibility of a back up) and virtually infinite storage space because you do get to use external SD cards. Honestly, now that I own the HOX, I don't regret one bit not having bought the S3. The HTC feels much better, the screen is amazing and the Sense software might be less intuitive than Samsung's but it's a lot more down to earth and direct.
Oh, and you'll probably be getting a few good deals on the HOX when the One X+ is released, as that is going to be the flagship and the latest thing.
i must egree with you, but reading the forums around here i see that quite many people have problems with the wifi adapter in the hox, and thats fixed in the hox+. i dont wanna end up bringing my phone back for repair every week or two, and i certainly dont want to disassemble it (at first ). how common are these wifi issues?
sent from my cm7 defy...
Get the One X if you use it moderatley, I mean, I use my phone all the time, and I NEVER go a day where the battery dies, its always still green when I get into bed and put it on charge. You said you don't need gaming graphics etc, so I guess you don't play much games.
THE ONE X WOULD DEFFO BE THE BEST FOR YOU, AND IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
oh well i need all of them
I need a good music phone, good graphic for some vdos and a few games may be, good battery too and internet...
So many great posts you guys made and i felt homely and friendly

I suggest you wait a little longer and buy hox+!
Bigger battery, faster (1.7ghz) and bigger space to store your stuff..
I have hox and I love it so much!
It's clearly you're in hox thread so probably you'll get biased review
but if this is what you're looking for an answer, then get hox or wait for hox+! Jyeah... :good::good::good:
I am also really stuck with this HOX vs HOX+ i mean is a extra £100 really worth it. I mean I dont think think I will ever use 64gb memory and I am hearing the HOX battery last more than a day.
What I want to know is the camera quality better on the HOX+ does anyone know.
Also has the 24fps video recording been improved to 29fps or is that under jelly bean.
I am not really thinking the HOX+ is worth the extra £100
I don't know how many phones have the wifi problem but I'm sure they are not many. I've read this before and it seems it's only a potential problem for models that were assembled in China.
Don't think this is a particular problem with HTC though, I was just looking at O2 forum yesterday regarding future ROM releases (unfortunately I'm stuck with a branded phone). They don't have a one device/one forum thing, it's an IPhone/Android forum. I've seen multiple threads about people complaining about problems with the S3 wifi.
In my case, the wifi signal is waaaaayyyy better than my previous Galaxy S. Camera also, it's an amazing piece of hardware. And I mean hardware because whatever might be a limit because of software, you can probably fix with an app or kernell or whatever. The HOX is powerful enough to record videos with 29fps... the S3 does it, so why not the HOX? It's probably one of the things that will be addressed on the Sense 4+ update that will come out with JB.
All in all, and for my kind of use, the HOX is wonderful. I wouldn't pay 100 quid more for the HOX+, even with the faster processor (I wasn't aware of that). I bought it from a friend that got one free from O2 and got a good(ish) deal on it. If not, and even now, I would be thinking about HOX vs S3. I would probably end up buying the S3 and I wouldn't even know what I've missed. No regrets at all. :good:
I didnt understand the last part of your post, are you planning on buying a s3 is that what your saying.
really my only problem with HOX is that wifi problem, but if its not that common after all, ill probably stick with it. if it has a good enough battery, and no wifi problems, than its perfect. ill probably underclock it anyway a bit, to squeeze a bit more juice out of the battery
and by the way, the HOX+ is not even released yet, and we already have a 100$ difference. i think we can expect a drop in HOXs price, so that gap may even get wider. so no, its not worth the extra money. thank you guys for helping me/us out, and see you soon on these forums!

Sorry, grammar mistake... I meant I would most likely have bought the S3 because of older reviews and less advertising from HTC. I didn't even knew about the HOX. Also because it would be a more logical upgrade... from an S to an S3. I've only looked into the HOX because that deal came up and I've saved 100 to 150 quid regarding the S3. I'm glad I did because the slightly better things on the S3 are not so important to me as the better things on the HOX (amazing display for example, like it a lot more than the led one on the S3).

Good lad! I think it's a wise choice and trust me, you won't need an underclocking. I don't know how bad it was when it was first released but the current 4.0.4 gets you a lot of battery. I had three hours to kill today and spent most of that time browsing the internet. Made a few calls, replied to a few emails and sms. The phone was charged last night and was always on, wifi always on and at this hour (almost 24h later) I have 59% of battery left. Might not be the best but it's amazingly good in my book!
For me the HOX is the better phone, I mean I will miss the blue LED notification light but anyway. The HOX I will be able to watch videos whislt im in a call, take pics or videos whilst im in a call. Wont have restricted messages, where after 480 characters it turns my texts into mms, i also prefer HTCs keyboard, also when sending texts to multiple people i wont be restricted to 10 people at a time which is annoying.
Others features that are important to me on the HOX are beats audio sounds better than the S3s music player both on stock player and power amp.
Low light pictures are better, the HOXs screen is better. Also I like the fact that you can take pics in videos that you are watching. Tomorrow I am ordering my white HOX from expansys fro £380 I dont feel the HOX+ is worth a extra £94.

But you do have a led notification with the HOX... it's not blue though, it's red or green depending on what it is notifying you for ...
The camera is VERY good on low light conditions! That's what you get with that huge lens sticking out of the back of the case... much more light coming in.
Oh, one thing I'm not pleased so far is how low the external loudspeaker is on stuff like youtube. I think it's not the hardware's fault, I'm pretty sure that videos on the internet browser play much louder. I don't get a volume tab on youtube app and I suspect that's the problem... the default volume is too low for this phone.

More than happy!
I am thinking to buy another phone, (will keep my One X for sure) but after a lot of reading, there is nothing worth buying until new Tegra 4 comes out or when we see how new Galaxy 4 is performing after it comes out. At least for me.
Especially now I am happy for having One X because new kernel source is out before two days ago and there is lot of good developers working on optimize it and push the best out of our HOX. Also many quality custom roms, Sense and AOSP and excellent developers support and help.
I am having really good time playing with my One X.
Are you ahppy with your One X
Yes.
For me it is perfect. Works great, no bugs, looks good.
I like HTC Sense (this is my second HTC phone).
Only 2 drawbacks, depending on your usage habits:
If you are a heavy "power user" a phone with a replacable battery might be advantageous so you can switch out halfway through the day (this is not an issue for me)
If you are big into flashing Roms themeing etc a phone without the S-off issues of the One X

Power is a bit of a problem but for me its not that important as I am used to charge my device every night.
If only the losing carrier signal once or twice every couple of months bug didnt exist the HOX would be perfect.
Be as it may I pretty happy with the beast.
If I were you though I d go for the HOX+ or wait a couple of months for the M7
It's a disappointing performance from HTC one x considering the quad-core ,it should fly it doesn't
No its the last HTC for me after the Desire which was easy to flash roms,this requires too much time and effort.Appalling build quality mine went back 3 times in first 6 months.
i am happy with my one x without sense
I must be very happy because I haven't swapped it for something else. Normally I don't keep a phone more than 2 months let alone 10 months on the one x.
Although I've initially suffered because I couldn't get used to getting only 3-4 h of screen on-time with this beautiful device, I've now come to love it despite that. After all, the stand-by time can be pretty great and most other devices out there have similar average screen-on time (except Razr MAXX and Note 2).
I actually think Sense is the best looking OEM skin and the 4+ version is oh so fluid. Love the camera and the display of my One X too.

Not really , did you compare it to other phones , usually ppl compare it with s3 since it's rival to hox and both phones are great , it all comes to personal preference in there. If you're talking about gaming on HoX well that could be an issue for some games since devs are more confortable optimizing it for other devices then tegra. As for speed in system hox is pretty fast considering it has ONE OF THE HEAVIEST systems among them all, If you put CM rom on it you wont see any difference btw nexus 4 , s3 or any other phone, it's the sense that is lagging it sometimes. Anyway with new kernel source this should be fixed in no time.
The only real issue for me with hox would be battery life screen on time. I hit avarage 4:30- 5hrs , but hey s3 hits the similar screen on time, besides with 2100 mah battery in hox we can hit over 6hrs screen on time, it's just hard to get one of those.
Besides with ViperX rom theres none phone equal with customization , infact i have 2 friends who sold their s3 just so they use Viper Rom lol. Besides i think roms for hox are better then on s3 , i've seen s3 roms and theres nothing much changed compared to Stock rom. If you like flashing and custom roms then hox is great imo.
S-off isn't really an issue except when updating comes to the matter if you're branded , but for flashing i don't mind using pc to do it.
Anyway overall i'm happy with my hox. And i'll most likely keep it even when i get the new flagship this year simply cuz it's beautiful to look at it , talking about screen and design lol.
On a side note Sense 5 is rumored to be MUCH lighter OS then sense 4+ , and if you ask me 4+ is very snappy after jelly bean . maybe with android 5 our battery and snappiness improves. At least it should. And HoX should recieve sense 5 for sure , since OEMS are obligated to give to the users at least 2 major updates . we got 1 , JB , now is time for android 5 Key lime pie Anyway i hope i helped you with this post.
Edit - Since you're considering btw Hox and probably s3 since theres nothing else to chose from with this price range i'll put it simple for you.
If you want better battery go for S3
If you want design , beauty and BUILD quality go for hox.
But the best of all you should do this, go in the store and use both of these and then make up your mind. Before that you might wanna read few reviews about hox and S3 , just remember most of the reviews are based on ICS hox , after jelly bean hox is claimed to be faster then S3 in 90% of the comparable tests heres the link proving it. http://www.gsmarena.com/jelly_bean_update_for_htc_one_x_boosts_performance-news-5010.php
Once again the best thing to do is go in the store and review them both by yourself.
actually if you have thousands of cores, Android phone will still have a bit of lag/stutter. even iOS have it when memory almost full.
This is all dalvik related, and unless Google slowly migrating to other language, the lag/stutter will never be gone. it is all because of unstable frame rate. one time you play a game is smooth, next time it stutters.
So yeah, I am very much happy with my One X. The only reason for me to change phone is because of the design and dev support. Well probably not change, just add my collection. The day Google fix the stutter is the day even dual core is lag free that it doesnt matter what phone you have. because, you see, we have a quad core, but S2 still performs the quite the same. So whats the difference there? I have to admit Samsung made great processor that overshadow the lag, even though i still notice slight lag over time.
anyway, One X design still one of the best. and also, i still have my HTC Desire around to remind how grateful i am to actually have a fast and beautiful one x, because when i go back to Desire, man how slow it is back then but i found it fast before dual core is available.

I must say that I was a little disappointed when I first got my HOX. Stock ROM doesn't make justice to this device hardware. Right now I'm on AOKP IceColdJelly and can say, for sure, that I coudn't be more satisfied. Custom ROMs unleash the true performance of this phone.
Having had a forced switch to a Nexus 4 as a result of bricking my One X (it was all I could afford), I thought I'd give a few points of comparison. Firstly, I much prefer the 'feel' of the One X. They're both clearly very well made devices, but the material choices in the HOX allow it to both feel classy and be comfortable to hold with the lovely soft-touch back. The Nexus 4 is definitely not as comfortable to hold, and I have complete paranoia about having 2 big glass surfaces to break...
The camera on the One X blows the Nexus 4 out of the water. In fact, the camera on the One X is good enough that you probably wouldn't benefit from carrying a compact digicam around too, so long as you don't need zoom. Especially in low light (thanks to the lovely f/2.0 lens), I would say the camera on the One X is better than the latest Samsung handsets (which use the same sensor lol)... Although it does seem to have a slight tendency to overexpose and blow out highlights in bright daylight (easily corrected with around -1EV exposure compensation) and the default sharpening is a little aggressive - you might see some aliasing on diagonal contrast detail if you don't turn it down a wee bit.
Benchmark performance is obviously better on the N4, but given the margin, I'm surprised (and glad, since I have a Nexus 7 which would feel laggy otherwise) it's not really noticeable in day-to-day use - if anything, the fact that quite a few games are 'Tegra enhanced' makes the One X one of the best phones out there for a gamer, since stuff looks prettier...
Screen quality is very similar between the phones after using a different calibration on the Nexus 4. However, unlike the N4, the out of the box calibration on the One X is surprisingly good and I do miss the screen area 'stolen' by the soft keys on the N4. Both screens are a world apart from any phone I've tried in the past. They both have quite remarkable contrast (which blows my calibrated Dell IPS LCDs out of the water) although they obviously can't match the contrast of an AMOLED. On the other hand, they don't have wacky cartoonishly oversaturated colours like AMOLEDs.
I've been very positive about the HOX here, but I'm afraid to say I don't think I would take a HOX over several other phones if they were offered at similar prices, purely because the battery life wasn't good enough for me (although it may be for you.) Standby life is very good, but you'll be very lucky to get 4 hours screen-on time even with light usage,and even less if you don't like Sense and want to run AOSP/CM. Just browsing the web and watching YouTube, I got over 7 hours out of my N4 yesterday (It's my new baby, I've just been made redundant, have a lot of time to play with it ) That's a pretty significant difference!

u can say that im adoring my HOX in general, but the battery life worries me all the time (u get around 4 hrs on screen)
i was on ICS and now on JB (THE awesomeness) ..
Gr8 custom ROMs if u r interested (used 2 use Insertcoin but now im on ViperX 3.3.4 ... heck yea) alot of devs r working on this phone
we hope that the new kernel would fix some issues ..
Concerning its design, i think the HOX is truly a Masterpiece ..
It is indeed a Flagship phone ( battery )
I'd say, go 4 it
I am really happy with my One X. Hopefully it will keep me happy for quite some time.

I use Spotify streaming regularly but this phone can barely last 4 to 5 hrs with that. One other minor problem is the poor sound quality and low volume compared to my previous iPhone 4S. I hope HTC fixes all these quibbles with the M7, or I might head for the iPhone 5s or SGS4.
I'm happy with my one x right now ...it's pretty usable for my daily use...

Hello everyone
I've been searching for a replacement for my galaxy S1 and where I live (Austria) the HOX is sold at 329 for the 32gb version.
Seems a decent price in my opinion only thing I'm concerned is overheating and battery life.
Do all phones have this problem or is it just some of them. Surly I'm not gonna try to replace the battery on a new phone.
Thanks in advance

I have my HOX since the release and it only becomes hot when you're playing graphical intensive games. But even then it's not overheating.
I can use my phone over one day on one battery charge, which is enough for me.

1 - You'll have a job replacing the battery, its non removeable.
2 - My HOX has only overheated 1 time in the 8 or 9 months I've owned it, and that was because FB was on a crash loop.
3 - Thats a great price for the HOX!!
4 - Battery life isn't bad, but it isnt amazing either. With some tweaks you can easily get a full day of use though !
I had One X since it was released
it's one of the best phones I had in my life
It's really fast and great for gaming and every day use, I had an issue after updating to JB (official unrooted sense) and I got a boot loop.
anyway this happened to other brands, and the support was quick to reply (though I'm in the middle-east)
and considering the screen size and the quad-core and tegra 3, the battery is fairly not bad
and there is a power saving option in the latest update
pros
1- it's fast
2-the costumer care is great
3-the camera is amazing
4-the games looks great and fast
5-the phone gets warm sometimes but normal heating NOT overheating at all
6-the wifi works good for me
7-it doesn't need a screen protection since it has (Gorilla Glass) , months of heavy daily use now.. not a single scratch
and one of the things I like the most about my HOX is the perfect design and building materials, you'll love to hold it
cons
1-it doesn't have S-OFF.. might be a problem for some
2-it doesn't have and SD slot.. but 32 GB is more than enough for me
3-the speaker is not the loudest in the market, its a little less than average, not a problem for me
so overall , I'm happy with it and I advice you to buy it
Yes!
The only problems I had with the phone were to begin with Stock....
Since I've been using custom roms, like Lextermina or Renovate, there are no more errors to report :good:
So at all, i can recommend the Hox for u!
Greetings Tilt
Ok thanks for the assuring informations.
Then I'll simply go on and buy one!
I'm sure it will be a fair improvement compared to my old phone

Hi guys. I am looking for something new to throw away my desire z.
This one have good price and excellent reviews.
Any problems with it after it is almost a year on market? Worth it ?
I got mine last month (jumped from Desire S) and am absolutely delighted. Great screen and performance, I love it! I don't regret my decision knowing the One is just around the corner. I don't buy just released devices because of the high launch price and possible faults yet to be discovered. After a year in market HOX has great development and there aren't any surprises + it's still getting updates. If you decide to get it, root right away and unleash this beast
I see You are from Poland.
Me too. any good deals? should I avoid used One X's ?
Hey guys i got HoX since the launch day and this would be my suggestion:
If you can get it cheap and you're going to root it and use custom kernel/ roms etc i'd say go for it , development is much better then on s3 ( i mentioned s3 since they're competitors and in same price range ) But if you want stock user experience and good battery life i'd say go for s3 , it offers more outta box then HoX. I'm not saying you're gonna be disappointed with stock HoX just saying s3 offeres more. Anyway after all it all depends on your needs and personal preference.
Make a list for example like this:
Battery life
Screen quality
Build quality
Design
Software Touch wizz or sense
Software gimmics
Anyway i would compare them like this STOCK vs STOCK s3 offers more , it has better battery life , similar main camera , front facing camera is better on s3 , build quality is better on hox , software gimmics has s3 more , display is much better then s3 screen in every way except true blacks.
Final words and simple mainly:
If you gonna root = go for HoX
If you gonna be on stock = go for s3
Hope this helps lol.
Btw i love my hox and would never take s3 for it. Especially now that sense 5 is coming on HoX.
Btw stock vs stock between s3 and HoX battery life screen on time =
S3 average = 4-5hrs
HoX average = 3:30 / 4hrs
Custom HoX average = 5-7 hrs for me.
Hmmm Well I don't plan on rooting it right away. I am happy with sense and there is no need for rooting really., My desire z is rooted but I don't use root functionality all that much. Maybe oc now and then + some apps.
List of important thing for me in no order:
-sense is preferable ui for my taste. i like it.
-Don't care what android underneath. It's all bull**** anyway.
-out of the box performance/ smooth feel. Fast tilt detection for horizontal keyboard.
-CAMERA quality -pictures.
-Build quality. I want it to feel sturdy and last for a bit.
-and battery. I don't expect miracles. I can tweak settings, dim the screen etc. If it will hold a charge longer than my 2yo Desire Z then I will be happy.
I will be using it for heavy texting, pictures, movies on a train, internet browsing (mainly forums) and playing scummvm games. nothing more I think.
Might as well wait for the HTC One since it's just around the corner. This phone is getting old

Using the phone for movies and internet will consume the battery withing 3.5-4 hours because of the screen-on time with 30-40% brightness.
If you can charge it in your work/school then it will be fine.
Ok, so I was toying around with HOX for a bit today and it is a neat device. I certainly like the white one. I might get one used. Anything I should look out for when getting used hox ?
or maybe I should get nexus4 which is main opponent here ? or lg 4xhd ? or something in that price or cheaper?
I repeat, good camera and build quality
Hox is still a great phone and once the one (m7) takes a hold it will be 2 models behind. In UK you can already get a descent used hox for around £200 if you look. Thats likely to get even better soon. Buy an unlocked one for ease (carrier I mean and not bootloader).

Does the HOX get any of the onboard memory back after a root? I see that the OS seems to be consuming over 3gb of space. If rooting will get some of that back I am going to do it. Any other benefits to rooting? I am OK with the Sense UI and the recent Jelly Bean upgrade with my carrier.

Are you talking about the physical storage for apps and whatnot or are you talking about ram. Either way sense jogs up a lot of memory, if you do root and install a aosp rom, you should be able to get some of your memory back.

initially, it had a lot of problems like screen, wifi, the body toughness and so on (those assembled in March-April). Now it's ok...
only the battery is weak..all the other things are telling that you're good to go!)
Did I just read the the s3 plastic casing is built better than the one x polycarbonate casing?
Anyway, it all depending on your needs and likes. When I got my hox I honestly thought 32gb that's more than enough.
Time went on and now I dont have enough, I wish the hox had a sd card slot that said I can't stand touchwiz and I know I could flash a cm rom but that still doesn't look as good as sense in my mind.
Anyway battery life is about the same across all phone these days. They last a day of average use.
Here in the UK they are selling off hox and replacing it with the hox+ you can get the phone pretty cheap at some places.

I'd have a good look at the screen these are prone to yellow spots I have both a nexus 4 and a hox and I prefer my hox anyway it does feel like it's built a lot more solid compare to nexus though.
HTC One X insertcoin rom and kozmic kernel
I have my HOX since it was released basically. I would always buy it again. Right now in Germany you can get it for less than 300€ new. This is an awesome deal for such gorgeous looking device packed with awesome hardware. You can't do anything wrong by buying it.
I seriously love how the HOX look, I just sometimes take the device randomly out of the pocket just to inspect it.
Just get it and you will surely not regret it.
I wouldn't.
You have a very high chance of a hardware fault, be it antenna, screen or whatever, updates are segregated, support and warranty are ****e, this is my last HTC phone and I wish I could have gone back in time and get a different one.
Only two positives: It's REALLY lightweight and REALLY beautiful.
AW: Is it worthe getting this phone now?
I like to sell my HOX in a few days when the one arrives. One year old. Swapped 2 weeks ago, so like new.
