first of all, hello to all of you XDA users!
as i am getting sick of waiting for the nexus 4 and bored with my modded galaxy s1, i am considering to buy and HTC ONE X (non Plus).
you guys think, it is still an attractive deal? of course i read all possible reviews and saw all videos. the only thing which keeps me hesitating, is the thing with the battery life. is it really such a FAIL? of course i am ready to root it and get it on with other ROMs...but the battery should last 1 day like my galaxy with casual usage.
the other option would be a SGS3 but i think the screen is a bit too dark for me. brightness is more important for me than deep colors. would you guys still consider buying the ONE X today? as it is getting near 400 € now, i think i should give it a shot....or are there any serious problems with the phone i missed?
thanks in advance for some opinions.

Well it's still a great phone, battery imo isn't the best if u play games and listen to music but if u casually use it, then its finet at least for me it is, other thanthat no problems u can always go aosp for better battery too
thanks! any opinions how the battery behaves when using camera for taking pictues? i like to take pics on holidays as i dont use a regular camera.
If you are considering playing games expect to sit near the charger, because the battery will drain in approx 2 hours if you play some graphics intensive game. I can't confirm bad battery life while listening to the music or watching videos tho. I always get with my stock One X 1 day uptime with normal usage and charge it over night. If you are on JB you can use the stock power saving feature and achieve even more than 1 day uptime with normal usage.
thank you for the answers. i will have another look in the next store...its my favorite phone right now. the ONE X+ is not available here in the stores. online its over 500€ so the regular ONE X will have to do it.
Thinking about replacing my Infuse. I've read some good things about the One X. Anything else you prefer in the same price range?

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.
AW: Are you happy with your One X?
I am happy only the problem whith the overheating i have
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
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.
AW: Are you happy with your One X?
I'm very happy with my One X . I've unlocked my bootloader on Thursday and now I love my phone even more. Thanks HTC for this great phone:thumbup:

This phone is great except for the abysmal battery life. I barely get 2 hours of screen time with it, let alone 3 or 4 hours. 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...

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.

Hello, I am coming from LG optimus 2x zone. After i brick my o2x (Dropped) I decided to buy a new phone.
I was looking for phones that are worth to buy.
The LG Optimus 4x HD and the HTC One X
What do you think is it worth buying a One X today ? (Since i don't want to buy LG phone again! Support and firmware updates on LG SUCK)
2. Is there something i should know about One X before buying (Other than that it is awesome) ( I had an HTC HD2 it had a hardware problem with touchscreen i ask for something like this) I read about many bugs (Screen WiFi etc etc..) But i don't want to believe what other people say about this phone i want to hear what users says
EDIT: I am thinking to buy this phone! even if there are a few bugs with it
In my opinion this phone is much better than any phone on the market today (Value for money) . This phone isn't just impressive specs written on white piece of papper It does have style it does have soul. Everytime i come accross it on any shop just screams BUY ME BUY ME PLZZ
Yes you should know many things before buying.
1- some models of one x have wifi problem which is hardware issue also confirmed by htc.
2- battery will not lasts more than 3-4 hours(screen on time) no matter which rom you used.
3-Its camera is not in proper in shape in my opinion to keep it on rough surface. Camera lens got many scratches because of that.
4-front facing cam is not so good may be its mine but worse than my previous phone(galaxy s2).
If you can increase your budget buy a hox+ instead because i think as hox was the trial and hox+ was the finished product by htc. I jave not used hox+ so cant say much about that.
but still if you want to buy hox you will definetely not regret other than the battery life.
Because i think if you are putting money on this you must know all the negative points rather than all plus points which are many in hox no doubts.

About battery life my current o2x lasts arround 2-3 hours of intensive use (Its 3 years old) So ill be happy with that battery
About wifi problem if someone can tell me which models does have it? And is it fixable ?

HTC's Sense interface is so unusual that you have to love it or hate it.
HOX itself is a good phone. As I've understood the WiFi issue is on earlier models. (for example none of the 16gb version should have it).
Battery is a disgrace. Mine only last around 2,5-3 hours screen on time (with AOSP rom). I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Ace some time ago and that ****ty phone could last for more than twice of my HOX.
Some early models did also have some screen tint problem. I think it was the glue between lcd and digitizer. This should also not happen on later models.
As i've understood HOX+ is not that much better (slightly better battery but not much).
But if the options are 4x and HOX then it's a no brainer.. Get the HOX. A friend of mine has the 4x (also Tegra 3) and if I compare the smoothness of stock roms than it seems like HOX is in another league. 4x just lags at everything (did some random test and HTC was a clear winner).
Are there any other phones you like at that price range in your country? (Nexus5 costs around 450$ where i live... and HOX still costs around 400$)

In my country the prices between nexus 5 and Hox are not that much close... I saw a real 4x hd today in a shop the guy opened it for me and really it sux as i expected!
So nexus 4 optimus G and one x (I know many of you will say the nexus 4 ftw but the price difference....it is affordable for me but why do i pay extra for almost same phone... no sense)

All three phones are great but i I were to choose I'd got with the G.. It's got a better CPU, twice the RAM, Bigger battery and LTE...
I'd buy a nexus 4 too. Tegra 3 is less powerful than nexus's snapdragon, it gets hot quite easily and battery life is quite bad.
Moreover HOX probably already got it's last update.
I'm not saying that it is a bad smartphone, i personally love it, sense 5 is great, it has an amazing screen and i'm still happy of my choice, but when i see nexus's smoothness and it's updates i think that it would have been better to buy it, even if it isn't as good looking as my HOX.

Is there something i should know about One X before buying (Other than that it is awesome) ( I had an HTC HD2 it had a hardware problem with touchscreen i ask for something like this) I read about many bugs (Screen WiFi etc etc..) But i don't want to believe what other people say about this phone i want to hear what users says
EDIT: I am thinking to buy this phone! even if there are a few bugs with it
In my opinion this phone is much better than any phone on the market today (Value for money) . This phone isn't just impressive specs written on white piece of papper It does have style it does have soul. Everytime i come accross it on any shop just screams BUY ME BUY ME PLZZ

hey guy i was in EXACTLY the same situation as u. I came from the Tmobile G2x which was promised ICS but LG/NVIDIA/Tmobile didnt deliver.
I have bought the international version, I like it but it does have the wifi problem. I think its a great phone but if ur a guy that likes flashing stuff or needs alot of battery life i wouldnt recommend it. also, it seems like the same kind of situation might happen as what happened with the G2x, cause of tegra 3(from what i have read) its going to be hard to get 4.4 unless we get the official version first. Thus, i would stay clear. I think this kind of situation is negated from the new HTC one but in the s3/HOX/LGOG/N4 generation, the N4/S3 is definately the way to go.
hope this helps, I want peopel to learn from my mistakes
I need the latest software cause thats the geek i am but if ur content with what u have i think this is a great phone.

Ok to be honest i do flash stuff... but the point is if i pay for n4 then i would go for the optimus G if i pay and that i will add little more and i will buy n5
And the difference between the n5 and the G2 isn't that big either... wtf confusing situation i said and i will buy the hox. Here with the help of users and researches on the internet i have seen it's weak points so i won't be buying one with defect (i hope)

lg optimus g is limited in dev. I say if ur limited in budget find a nice used n4. if ur not get an n5. the differences is the LG counterpart usually are limited in dev. Also, I should say, i didnt have the wifi problem for a while until i first dropped it and from then on i got it.
The HOX is a great phone, if i give it to my family they would love it.... idk if its for the techie now tho.
the newer phones HTC ONE/S4/N5 are better in getting updates i think but then they are more expensive

Don't care about wifi i guess 20-30$ on local shop should fix it but the point is that maybe even if i drop it wont be problem there...
Is it still great device

if it wasnt for this stupid wifi problem (Which there is a workaround but it requires opening up the phone. i havent gotten around to it yet) this is a great phone esp the price it is sold at. The one weakness i would say is battery. But again, if ur statisfied with maybe not getting 4.4+ then yeah definately get it

hello guys...
i am a long time user of sony and samsung....
i just saw this cute htc one x (black) it is cheap and beautiful.... im so attracted with this phone....

with this htc one x for over 2 years since its announcement,
how far good is this phone guys?
is it still worth buying even if its 2 years ago????
pls, give me idea and advice,
hope someone will help me this.... thanks....
Hello,
My opinion is that this is still a great product and still relevant.
Its biggest drawback is its battery life, but about performance and reactivity level, there is nothing to complain about.
If you use it in a soft way (not heavy usage), battery will last one day, if not, stay close to your battery charger.
Good performances in games, really a very good product, and many devs here, so many ROMs to try.
Best regards
Franky

If you can go for something better like the nexus 5, go for it. In my place the price difference is very minimal. My advice is spend some extra money and go for something better.
Performance is pretty good for something from 2012.
Durability is very good! HTC imo are the best in that regard.
But, I don't expect this phone will get the next version of android port (I still hope it does). Like @fgth90 said if you only use your phone for light usage, and you can deal with a slightly limited battery life, you should do OK with this phone. Just don't try newer phones out there or you might get jealous of their performance and end up frustrated with yours :crying:
Hmmm guys im not on max usage... It would be as my backup secondary mobile... Im up to social media such as fb,twitter,skype etc. And music... Games just a bit average not that too much...
I would like to know if it will fit those needs and if it can still hit satisfacion with no regret..
