You guys know what these are? Strong magnetic balls you can manipulate into different shapes. I play with my balls constantly, sometimes too much if I drink a lot, and occasionally they end up lying beside my phone (or tablet) and I wonder if that can hurt the phone?
Apologies for the euphemisms. They were, in fact, intended.

Hello people I am an owner of HTC Desire S and time has come to retire my phone and upgrade.
I am seriously considering getting the ONE X so I have a couple of question that you proud owners of it can probably answer.
1.What are the things I should look out for when buying it?
2.What are the major problems you have with the device?
3.Is the white version out of the question due to getting easily dirty and scraches easily spoted?
Thanks in advance for you help
1) the batch number. i have got sh26 and its flawless. i heard before 25 some HOX had the wifi problem.
2) no major problems. at first i had battery life problem but now its all fine after flashing viper and faux.
3) i have the white version. i use a back part to protect my color. the case got totally yellow. cant tell much about whether the white hox will get dirty or not. my one is still milk white. although its protected.
go for it. you will never regret it.

Good choice. Just buy it
Hi mate. When images of the HOX were leaked last year, I was completely enamored by the device's design, and although the camera bump in the back spoiled it a bit, I still find the phonearvelous to behold. Not so much as a woman, but you get the point...
A's to your first question, by having a look around the forum, you'll soon discover 3 main issues with HOX models: Some screens appear to have yellow spots, some units have faulty WiFi and some appear to have sub-optimal batteries that tend to overheat and discharge quickly.
As to your second question, from my experience with a UK HT24 white HOX, I never encounters these problems. My screen is of the "warm" variety, I never had the temperature of the phone rise above 46 degrees Celsius, WiFi works perfectly, lags were noticeably before, a
nd now they've disapeared completely with the latest update. Battery life has also improved, plus live wallpapers work perfectly now. Ah the joy of staring at the cosmic abyss slithering below you on the HOX's magnificent TrueHD IPS screen!
And about the discoloration issues of the white models: I've never experienced any! The only incident I've ever seen involved a brown unit. I've never seen a picture of a discolored white model. White so becomes our HOX. I would never expect to buy a white colored phone, but on this phone it fits it perfectly! I take some care of it, however, mainly wiping the back occasionally with a cloth or tissue and I bought a cheap soft silicone case for it that fits it perfectly and prevents it from getting scratched. Just add a screen protector and that's all this phone needs!

Just FYI - I've had seriously problems with the audio (hissing and excessive line noise) on my One X, and I've seen plenty of other people report this same issue. HTC took my phone back to repair the issue but when it came back nothing had changed - same problem. I've back to my old Galaxy Nexus now cause I was getting migraine during long listening sessions.
Best phone I've ever had
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I used to have the Samsung galaxy s3, and I must say, it was noticeably faster and efficient (battery wise). But just received update from OTA which has eradicated lag from the One X, so that's not a problem. The phone is awesome, the design and just the effect you get when holding it - oh and the screen is hands down the best I have seen in my life - the ppi, brightness and just the way that the screen is not interrupted by the end of the phone, your finger just slides off. So to you, I would say get the One X! Its a fantastic quad-core Tegra 3 phone (which btw allows some awesome ps2 graphic games ... amazing)

I've owned both the Galaxy S3 and the One X. I've stayed with the One X....LOVE IT!!
Had a few bugs when it first came out, mine had some audio problems (popping and skipping). But with the 2.17 update it's working great now.
Mine hasn't had any of the Wifi problems.
Really didn't like the Touchwiz interface and the plasticky feel to the S3.
I'm really happy with the One X and I've always been a big fan of Sense UI.

Oh I get it now you just like to be called a jerk right?
I am bothering to reply to you at all cause thanks to the guys who actually gave me the advice I asked for I have made up my mind and I am getting the HOX.
So as I will be hanging out much more in the HOX forum I think I should reply to your mean aggressive coment.
Serious men get some help.....
Not that I care what others think, but is anyone else sick of hearing the same "I could never carry around something that big" reaction from people. Everytime someone I know sees my phone for the first time I feel like I immediately have to defend it by showing them how it still fits perfectly in my pockets and how other phones are too small for me. Its mostly iphone users. I bet if they spent a couple days using my phone they would probably never go back to their small "squint to read on" screen.
Yeah, but after I show them the bells and whistles, and show them how great browsing the Web is our watching a video, they usually go...Wow...that is nice! I don't have to squint to see the screen. And that is why I got it!
Its just the green eyed monster talking. Ignore it.

Seriously, people who say that are just jealous. A genuine reaction is like... look how big it is, makes mine look small, etc.
Everyone I work with has an iphony. Once they realized how Superior my phone is over theirs they left me alone, lol.. However there is still one fool who now likes to say that I carry a "flat screen". His comment is so pathetic it speaks for itself. I constantly show YouTube and HD clips to everyone I work with now.. They secretly Love my Phone. I also let them know that I have Truly unlimited everything from T-Mobile for $77 a month. Lmao!
I show them the quadrant scores and giggle at their reaction. ^^.
I say that at least I've got a phone and a tablet. It is the best of both worlds in one device.
I love it.

My standard answer is: look isn't that cool, my screen is bigger than your whole phone, so much more viewing area.
I get this a lot too but the size just feels normal to me now, I can't really use anything smaller(that's what she said). My ex had an iPhone 4 & it felt like a toy, I couldn't even type on it. I honestly wonder how people use anything smaller than 4.3 inches anymore. Boy, this is just one big long **** joke, huh >.<
I couldnt agree with this more
I rarely get that now. When I told people I was getting it they said that. But after I shoeed them an HD video, they all wanted one. Until I told them how much it costs.

i agree with all the pluses everyone has pointed out. after i explain to people that its better than lugging around a tablet, you dont have to squint, after showing them the multitasking split screen and bells and whistles they leave impressed. the main question or comment i get is "its so big it looks silly holding it up to your ear" to which i point out that i never ever even with a smaller screened phone held it up to my ear and that i always use a good bluetooth headset, so that point is moot for me.
I have coarse beard hair and sometimes oily skin which ruined my earlier phones screens so its been bluetooth all the way. :laugh:
This phone draws a lot of attention its way and it's always been good attention. Everyone wants to see it or hold it and every single time that person wants to know where to get one and how much.

My uncle is exactly like that. He said the phone is too big for him and that he can't fit it in is girly pants. He went ahead and bought an iphone 5. Started showing it off to me saying look how small and perfect it is. He then said that the screen resolution is so clear that when he watches youtube the video looks bigger..... buwahahaha! I know, I know. Then I accidently dropped my Note 2 on top of his iphone 5 and crushed it to bits. :highfive:

Here is what I don't like:
1. When you wake up the phone from sleep there is a noticeable delay.
2. After you hang up the phone, there is a delay of about 3-4 seconds before you are brought back to the dialer.. Until then you're just shown the "Call ended.." message. Thats quite annoying because you have to wait another 3-4 seconds before re-dialing.
3. MTP.. I have never gotten it to work on this phone. After downloading the official Galaxy Note II drivers from samsungs website all I ever get is "Hardware missing" or something like that. I really miss the plain old USB Mass Storage.
4. When you bring the phone to your ear the screen turns black, (thats good), but after you take it back down to see the screen, there's a gap of about 2 seconds before it turns back on. very annoying.
So these are the 4 things I have noticed that I don't like.

I think if you press the back button or home button to go back to whichever screen you need, it works based on my experience.
Like if i just ended a call, pressing the home button takes me home right away without any delay.

While I do agree that these problems may be minor: With all due respect, this is a website about mobile devices and development, and this thread is specifically for the issues regarding the user experience of the T-mobile Note 2.
There is nothing to say that the OP did not start a blog for starving families in third world countries on an appropriate website, or that he lacks common sense and or compassion towards major economic problems. . . as is implied by your remark.
Furthermore, problems must be addressed, not ignored. Many minor problems compounded can become a major one, eroding away the cumulative ease of use and overall responsiveness of the user experience.
Many people like myself regard our phones as valuable business tools rather than toys. It is important to have a high performance tool to efficaciously compete in today's "hi-tech" market.

Cheap plastic cover still there, but if you have a case, you can't tell. Dev support is awesome for the device, the dev teams are actually very prompt in helping and replying. People use my note 2 and fall in love with it. The screen size is great for watching videos and editing word documents. It feels good in the hands contrary to what people may think. Web surfing and researching stuff online is easier with no need to zoom in. Everyone who owns one or used one has different opinions on y they like it, but they all love em

I converted 2 of my partners. 1 got his on Tuesday. The other one is waiting for his tax check and he'll be getting 2 for him and his ol lady. They both had Droid Razrs. My third partner is an Apple fan. He didn't want to look at it. Maybe afraid that it might convert him. Lol
So far I've converted 6 people, 2 from blackberry, 3 from iPhone and 1 from whatever Nokia was using back in the day. I also helped a couple people make their choice when they went to a smartphone for the first time.

Haha this thread is awesome. Love it. Just out of curiosity how are you guys convincing iPhone users? I'm having a hard time with my friends. They're so closed minded and don't want anything that's not iPhone even after I show them the features of my note 2.

I put there iphone on top of my phone, show em how much bigger it is. They responded, "bigger isnt always better", i respond, "ask your girl what she thinks about that". Then they complain about how android doesnt have apps, then i show em every damn app they have, and how good the devs made em to fit our screens. Then they say how it cant be perfected because every android phone is different from one another and how apple phones are optimized cause theyre all the same. I tell em another historical figure wanted everything the same type....... His name was hitler... Look what happened to him. They give typical uneducated responses and eventually become quiet. Then i say "this is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, your story ends, you wake up in ur own bed and believe whatever you wanna believe. You take the red pill, and you stay in wonderland, and ill whow you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

I've converted 4 people.
1. My girlfriend, who saw it the first day I had mine then instantly ordered hers online
2. My cousins coworker. He was #teamiphone to the fullest. He started by saying the iphone is the best phone ever invented. Fast forward a week later he pulls out a note 2 with Verizon lol.
3. My other cousin. He had a Samsung infuse 3g. Said the note 2 was too big. One day after a trip to the mall I got something to eat. When I met back up with him an hour later he had the note 2
4. My girlfriends step-mother. She too said it was too big and that she didn't like it. Lo and behold she ended up with a note 2 about 2 weeks later. I asked her why and she said she could see better on a large screen.
What I get from a lot of this is that even though people say they don't want it, deep down they are jealous inside lol

Converted my life from the iPhone 3Gs to the Galaxy S3 and then to the Note 2.

I got that same response from some of my hardcore iphone co-workers. Their iphone was like the savior of the masses... that is, until I showed them how i can have text and browse while watching videos at the same time. That's when I see their jaws drop to the ground.
The other thing that gets ooohs and aaahs is when they stop by my cube and question my nfc tag that I have by the entrance - and I tell them that with a swipe of my phone I can set up all my preferences without fiddling with the settings.
Pic of what it feels like holding those itty bitty phones. I also got a co worker who gave me the it looks your "holding a phone book to your face"..two weeks later she has a note 2. Lol.
Ps I dont see too many note 2 in the wild which I kind of like. ..makes it more a "unique club" but we'll see how long that lasts. Do any of you peps see alot of note 2's around?

Haha I always make fun of my friend (actually everybody) for having a iPhone, I'm trying to convert her.. She actually caught me using her iPhone the other day and snapped a picture of me and put it on Facebook letting everyone know how much I love apple lol.. *****
