HTC One X owners, do you recommend the purchase?

Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?
Thanks

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!

I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!

short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes

The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had

I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.

Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops

Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

Don't you dare buying it! It's mine, my precious <3.
#Smeagol off
I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.

My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now

I recommend it.

Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

I can't help wondering why they chose to release an update that fixes a lot ONLY to the press... It makes no sense to me?

Clearly they weren't sure about it's stability/hadn't bug-tested it enough to release to all of their customers.
Should be out soon though

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.

YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super

One X vs GS3?

Hi at all! some day ago i broke my HD2 so i search for a new smartphone! my choise is on one X and Gs3 I know that for now the one X with stock rom have a worse ottimization (like with animated wallpaper). so I ask you what's the best phone in this area,if one have the sotck rom or some other from XDA:
battery
performance
with the new rom form XDA one X is better that GS3 or GS3 continue at be the best phone for performance and battery?

I had a look at a S3 the other in day in store and I was quite impressed but at the same time not disappointed with my choice of the HOX.
I do like the sense launcher and some time soon I am going to flash a custom rom to speed things along but from what I've read and seen both phones are nearly identical performance wise.
If you are into flashing custom roms and things I would go with the S3 as they have already released the source code for it while where stuck over here trying to get S-off

thanks so with the new rom you have noted some improvement in the battery life? beacause for now this is the real difference between one X e SG3 for me i Have fear that the one X have a small battery

From a pure hardware/features standpoint, the GS3 is a beast.
Personally, I like the way the HOX looks/feels, though and I'm a sucker for the contact integration of the social networks. Touchwiz has a long way to go before it's that refined.

but for the daily use the one X have some lag with the custom rom? I see in a lot of review a bug with animated wallpaper and the stock browser is terrible with flash respect the one s and Gs3 :/
so with the new updates or custom rom this problem are solved?

The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone, I love the HOX and the curved look, and sense is awesome, I must have installed all other launchers and ended up back with sense.
The GS is a little too..... simple, or presice, the HOX is a Tegra 3 Daddy, dont worr about the battery as my model and if you buy one yours will be fine and last 2 days easy. Its eraly SN versions having issues not new ones.

sorry,but I don't understend the phrase "The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone". I want said that SG3 is better of HOx?
I'm worry about battery and lag,beacause in a lot of review HOX have some lag and a lot of people said that is not optimized

sorry,but this is a very big forum,so here I can have a lor of opinion
I saw the video. My conclusion is that with the new update and custom rom in daily use the difference between GS3 and HOX in nearly zero,right?
But I don't understand how much is big the difference in the game. with one X there is some game that go slow?like Mass effect or some other new games?

Go for the S3, OneX is for **** ....

in daily tasks both are the same, no one is going to notice, in games the hox has support for the high graphics tegra 3 games, with development support by nvidia.

HOX: better screen, camera & design.
SGS3: unlocked bootloader, removable battery, sdcard slot.
If you can't make a decision from that simple summary then it doesn't matter, you'd be happy with either.

I just got my one x a few hours ago and I think it is awesome. I'm definitely buying the pebble blue galaxy s 3 though. Just be happy with your purchase. Both great in their own way.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I dont like the samsung TouchWiz interface. HTC Sense is way better in my opinion.
I had HTC Inc S, then got the SGS2, wasnt really happy with it, mainly the interface, so got the ONE X and love it.
Its fast and battery lasts well, I get 2 days of average use before recharge. Allthough when I use it as a Wifi hotspot for 6 hours will only last me 1 day.

in my honest opinion
I have my HOX now for the past month and I am satisfied...
Just satisfied as it delivers where it should as in Graphics, Performance, UI, Integration and sleekness, however the only major downfall I would say of the HOX is the Battery and not having a removable SD card.
Battery life too short and not being able to expand the memory is a downfall
So with only those 2 aspects in mind I would change to a GS3
Otherwise I am happy with my HOX

Htc one x or galaxy s3?

Hey im getting a new phone and decided on the one x or the s3.. which one do u think is better in terms of camera hardware battery life audio etc..
Thanks

Definitely HTC ONE X

S3
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2

I own a one x, two guys here in the office have the S3.
IMO:-
The one x looks nicer than the S3
The S3 equals, or beats, the one x on most (but not all) specifications
The S3 has better battery life, a replaceable battery, and an SD slot, the one x does not.
The S3 has much better audio quality - the one x is awful.
The S3 has a much more active developer community - there are more s3's out there, and there are no issues with s-on/s-off - you can pretty much do what you want to an S3.
Samsung seem faster at getting new roms out for the S3 than HTC do for the one x, and they leak a lot of roms during the development process.
Despite all that, I got the one x because it was basically half the price of the s3
If the costs had been the same, I probably would have got the S3.

Based on your requirements, regretfully, I must say S III. :crying::crying::crying:
But, in terms of usability, charm and charisma - HOX is way better choice. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Ask yourself - would you like to be like everyone else, having the same phone like thousands of others?
Seriously, your question is difficult to answer. HOX owners will say one thing, and S III owners the other. It's like choosing between Mercedes "E" Class, and BMW 5 Series. Both are top of the line, it's the personal taste that makes the difference.
I know this doesn't help, but I felt like saying it. :angel:

I know many HOX users who said they would have maybe went for the S3 afterall. I agree on many things you said though. I possibly would have went for an s3 as well if i knew all this about htc.
But they had a good reputation in the desire days and i thought why not give them a try? Right now i'm at the point where i realised how much this phone doesn't surprise me, i don't care about scratches, i don't care if i drop it frontal, i just don't care. It's my last htc device anyway but i can just try to "enjoy" it while it lasts.
edit: personally i even have my doubts about jelly bean running the way jelly bean should run with sense. Today i flashed a sense ui again, while nice, after nearly over 1 week on jelly bean i realise how laggy sense ui on 2.17 is. It's incredible.
going to switch back to aokp or aosp jelly bean rom when i can be bothered

I've owned my One X since April, it's been great. Thankfully no wifi problems and the camera is ok / pretty good. I've rooted it and installed all the available sense roms, I've come back to ARHD as I like the "stock look". Sadly my Cid is VodaP001 (or something similar) so I can't load the leaked Jelly Bean Roms. Seeming I'm stuck waiting for Vodafone to release a Rom based on Jelly Bean so I can update the Hboot officially. This annoys me, other phones (nexus mainly and Nokias) you can either flash whatever you like or amend IDs as in the Nokia to load non carrier firmware. Even the One S (I think) can have it's Cid amended. Strikes me as odd the way HTC have locked the HTC One X a little too much for my liking. I'm on the brink of getting an S3 and maybe putting the One X on Ebay. Sadly though I do like Sense 4 and I like the camera...not sure I like Touchwiz though...S3's can be bought for £360 new from DigitalRev, One Xs seem to fetch £250 on Ebay, I might bite the bullet and sell it...Oh and I'll miss the One X build quality...that's my thoughts....

Htc one X world best Phone A++++++++++

I personally would go with the HOX just due to build quality alone. Always felt like I was going to break the s2/s3. I don't miss having a replaceable battery or an sd card.

I am sorry for my post , and please delete this

Go for one x+
If price is matter to you, than go for one x. - one x has best screen ever made for mobile device - that means a lot to me
- audio is better on s3 but if you are not audiophile and listening to normal mp3 music, you won't noticed it - much more, because of beats eq it sounds more bassy and louder (for amateur listener better than s3)
- a bit better battery on s3
- touchwiz can't compare to sense, if you are going to flash aosp, you better wait for nexus

1 - ok I am with you on that
2-better battery life ,yes 17% battery drain in 40 minutes 1:30 on screen time( my 1 week experment with the s3 ) ( if this is a better battery life ) than you dont know what your talking about
3- better audio, ok, but one x is awfull, then again you have no idea what you are talking about, and s3 is not that good too.
4 - more active development community :what: , are you kooding me, people buy htc phones for the xda development Community , and if you remember cyanogenmod said no more official cm on the s3 and more developers are doing like him, samsung are ****ng them.
5- faster rom , are you living under a rock or something, htc were always the first one to update there devices, last time I checked, both the one x and the s3 is getting jb at the same time or at least 1 week difference , and leakung alote of roms , the s3 had 3 leaked jb builds in one week .

You're the only troll, everyone kept it civilized until your post.

HOX vs S3? Of course S3. No questions there. Anyway check if you can get X+. It's what original HOX should have been. It can definitely compete with S3.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Totally agree, if u can afford it get the one X+. otherwise just get the regular one x,
yes, on the specsheet the S3 looks better, but in daily use I really prefer the one X.
the main thing on a high end smartphone is the screen, it's the thing you constantly stare at, so you want it to be good. And the screen on the s3 is ok, but no more than just ok. it's bright enough but the over saturated colours really bother me. and that's the great thing about the one X, the screen is just soo amazing. plus touchwiz is probably the worst user interface ever made, in no comparison to sense

[q] hox or hox+ ?

Hi Guys,
I have finally decide to upgrade my old DHD for HTC One X! Just when i was thinking to upgrade HTC have launched a upgraded version of OneX+. I read somewhere the new JB and sense4+ updates to OneX will actually make the mobile as good as the One X+, in terms of speed and performance. So heres my question , is it worth buying One X+ or is the One X with Jb updates enough. (I feel One X+ is a lil pricey!)
P.S. I am happy with the space available on HTC One X.
Would really appreciate any kind of suggestions.
Cheers,
Kavin

Go for HTC One X
going for htc one x makes more sense.u save cash.Specs are very comparable.
The Cpu speed wont even make a difference in day to day working.

doesn't make difference, higher clock, more battery consumption = one x with less clock however you can buy the one x+ bttery and put it in the HOX...200 dollars just for a bigger battery doesn't worth it

Thanks Again!

Please helpp!! One X new 300€ or One X + 360€???

Hello, i'm upgrading my phone and i can't decide.. OK so help me guys i need to decide within 4 hours..
I can buy One X at 300€ new , or One X+ at 360€
So first i want to clear something:
IF i buy the One X i will upgrade the battery buying the hox+ battery so ther'are +30€ for the battery.
IF i buy the One X i will have a better support , more roms than hox+ ..
+ I realy like the White color of One X , also the hox+ black&red is beauty but the stock is better.
What i need to do?? I'm so confused...
Where are so much differences between hox and hox+ on the support? hox i see has more roms.. sorry for my english

You got all your facts right m8! Don't know why your having a hard time choosing between them! If you are a flashaholic then go for One X as the rom development is fantastic!
Both the devices are similar other than the few Mhz in clock speed!

These kind of threads aren't allowed bro, I'm guessing it'll be closed soon enough

I would go for the One X+ for the bigger battery and if you are into music the One X+ seems the better choice as it has a hardware amplifier for the headphone jack, also the finish in the One X+ seems better. But the One X is still an awesome device. I love mine!
