Hi just switched from my beloved htc one x to the note2 and dont regreat a minute of it.. this phone's just got everything, wins the one x in just every aspect in my opinion, but on the one x forums there was a lively discussion about upcoming firmwares/updates wich i enjoyed to read every day.. anyway my question is that is the 4.1.2 android the newest official firmware for the phone and is there any news/date on the next upcoming firmware? Just wondering for how long this phone will be supported by samsung..

Its confirmed that samsung skipped 4.2.2 for note 2 and s3 and will directly update these devices to 4.3..but it has few months of time because samsung will first focus on its upcoming note3..so if u cant wait then root ur device and flash custom roms..they have got tons of features

I came from the One X to here. By "lively" you mean dozens of angry people that HTC does a staggering roll out of updates. A single update can take months.
Daily posts of "is it ready yet" is more annoying than useful.
As a flagship phone it will probably receive updates for a while, just don't expect hourly updates and groundbreaking changes. Samsung is still suoporting the S2 after all.

Yeah its true the discussions on the one x forums where kind of oftopic, and one of the biggest reasons i switched to samsung is the extremelu poor update history of the htc phones.. and in favor for the samsung mobiles their great update history for older phones.. and of course the selection of custom roms, but i actually like the stock rom and the ux (wierd maybe) , but its really working well in my opinion and therefor i hope to see this phone supported by samsung for atleast a year or two ahead

I used to have the One X too and I can tell you, I also miss the active discussions. Not about updates but S-OFF. The other thing I miss is the terrific build quality of the One X.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
I switched to Note 2 from, well technically from S3, but that I had for 2 months only. Before that I had an HTC Sensation, and believe me, on the surface the build quality was fabulous. I never used any case or plastic lamination due to the rubberized finish of back cover and even after 5-10 brutal falls on concrete and marble floors, it got only 3 minor scratches. The sense UI was fabulous with its widgets and very clean looking icons.
But there were more bad things than good. The great looking body being made of aluminium and having wrong placement of antenna for wifi and cellular made it worst phone i ever had in terms of reception. Hold it tight enough and it will loose ALL the signals. The touch points in back cover needed to touch the points on the phone body and within every 15 days, there use to be carbon build up making things even worse. Cleaning the points use to resolve the situation.
I don't need to talk about updates, everyone is familiar about that front with HTC. Though i would say the 4.0.3 update they gave was very polished and fast. But that's about it. It received no further updates even with its capable hardware. I believe that was most probably due to the dual sided sword, sense ui. They didn't want to give the newest version of it on old phones and at the same time didn't want to waste their resources on upgrading the old version.
It didn't had 3G video calling, it was slow as hell at times and there were no updates. There were software on play store that were jellybean only and there was no hope of getting it on Sensation. That was the reason for my switch.
Samsung, on the contrary has a build quality that is ok for me. I don't mind the plastic of they just make the back cover and sides more durable maybe with better quality poly carbonate material. Currently, its very prone to scratches and a case is needed if you want to keep the device in good condition, for resale purposes later. Touchwiz is also a dual headed sword in a way. It looks same on all devices and its hard to distinguish an older device from newer and thereby makes the experience a bit boring but that i think is also the reason it is easy for them to upgrade older devices. they have to make comparatively less changes to the touchwiz ui while upgrading. And they never made touchwiz the selling point for their phones in their marketing strategies. This is where HTC failed. Instead of selling hardware they are more focused on selling their software, making them shy of updating their older devices.
Samsung's update pattern is quite good and I am happy with what i am getting as part of the deal. I feel no regrets in spending those INR 31600 odd bucks on this phone. I do regret of doing the same on HTC Sensation. There is no way I am going to switch to HTC for years to come no matter how beautiful phones they create unless they change their marketing fundamentals which I highly doubt they will. I am more of a functionality guy rather than beauty. For me getting the latest android versions and having my video calls over 3g (native, not with skype etc) is important.
I totally agree with krazy_about_technology. From my experience with HTC devices, it never update the Sense UI that came with the phone. The most that is usually done is to upgrade the OS. In the past HTC used this method of marketing to keep people to buy its newer phones because it releases dozen of phones a year.
Samsung on the other hand almost always updates (with new UI and new features) the older phone after the new one comes out. It's a long and dull wait but at least we get it after the wait.

Why i cant update my note 2 through keis?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I do also have a problem with the upgrade, I have the GT-N7105 with 4.1.2 and when I try to update over the air i get a fault message "Firmware upgrade failed, try using Kies." I have tried via Kies also but when doing that I get a strange behaviour from Kies, the program downloads the software and then the program just close itself on the computer. I waited for about half an hour but nothing more happened and no further information on the phone either, just like nothing happened.
Of course the phone was connected to the computer and identified by Kies, which also informed of the new firmware available for the device.
Any ideas of what to do?

I hope they will improve the batterylife even more if possible but this is just amazing in my opinion.. never have i had a phone with so much power and im kind of a heavy user.. cant seem to upload screenshot from phone but 1 day 5 hours on battery and still 67% left

Go get your iphone then.
If you have the mindset that allows one piece of sensationalist journalism to sway you that much, then that's probably just the phone for you.
You see, the thing is:
The author of the article in the OP is doing it wrong:
He completely glosses over the idea that Samsung actually has this right, for the average user:
The Galaxy S DOESN'T have the RAM or the resources to properly run ICS.
Why in the world would Samsung want to push an update to a device that it's just going to run poorly on? (ESPECIALLY to a device with that many millions of users).
Actually, I'm a little disappointed in The Verge for allowing such an awfully-written article to be posted, as far as the one-sidedness of it goes. They've become one of my favorite places on the web to go to for my tech news, but it's definitely NOT because of articles like this.

The Galaxy S has the same specs as the nexus s. And why are you so offended that I am going with an iPhone lol. Is your life so empty that you feel the need to cheer for a corporation? I don't get fanboyism, never will. Samsung has screwed their customers repeatedly since the first gen of android devices, and people are starting to catch on.

They might have the same specs, but the Galaxy S comes with TouchWiz. The Nexus S doesn't. Difference explained?
Don't be surprised that the developer version of a phone gets the updates and the mass-sold consumer version with branding and skins does not, however inconvenient.
Apart from that, they have supported it for about 19 months now through 3 major releases, instead of their promise of 18 months and a minimum of 1 major release.
So he bought the phone with Eclair, it got an upgrade to Froyo and another upgrade to Gingerbread and he's *****ing that he wont get ICS?! The Galaxy S has already had TWO major OS updates, do people really expect these things to get every major update as long as they own the device? The sense of entitlement that some people seem to have is absolutely rediculous.

Fanboyism?
WTF.
Look at the facts, and maybe you'll understand...
(I'll take this slowly, but try to keep up.)
I know that the Galaxy S and the Nexus S have the same specs:
That's common knowledge.
But:
The Nexus S doesn't have to run Touchwiz, hence the update.
The Galaxy S would HAVE to run Touchwiz, so it would have to also be included in any update, because THAT'S WHAT 10+ MILLION AVERAGE USERS WOULD EXPECT TO SEE, THE SAME UI THEY HAD THE DAY BEFORE. (sorry for the Allcaps, but it's just frustrating to me that someone doesn't understand this.)
Touchwiz, in an update with ICS, would BARELY fit:
It might run, but users would quickly get low storage space messages, and memory-issue crashes.

They treat you best?
How, by giving you updates that your phone can handle?
You applaud them for that, yet you think it's a bad thing when a company (Samsung) wouldn't send an update to a device that COULDN'T properly handle one?
Apple's way around the issue is to rarely update their hardware, so that it can handle any update they throw at it for 2+ years.
Samsung (and the major Android manufacturers in general) deals with it by continuously pushing the envelope by releasing cutting-edge hardware, and then updating software to the devices that can handle it.
Which would you rather have? 2 year old hardware, and last year's updates, or tomorrow's hardware and tomorrow's updates?

Whatever tips your balance off course, for many it would be because of other things but at least this is honest reasoning.
Shouting that Samsung lied to costumers and mistreats them is just stupid and shows no understanding of market mechanisms, but displays tunnelvision instead.
I understand it sucks, having had an Omnia2 before my Galaxy S2, but it was known beforehand that the updatecycle would stop somewhere at the end of 2011, as it is to end at Q3/Q4-2012 for the Galaxy S2. By that time the same discussion will start, this time about the Galaxy Nexus, with the same stupid arguments, petitions and tears.

This is the crux of the whole thing:
I would never, in my worst "phone-geek" nightmare, dream of owning the same device for 3 years, I don't care which phone it was.
That's an eternity in terms of technological advances, and if that's what you're looking for: a phone that'll still be updated (software-wise) for 3 years, then an iphone is EXACTLY what you need.
I'd rather have a hole in my head than to be stuck with ANY phone for that long.

If Samsung didn't honestly care for it's customers people would have never gotten an update at all.
It's entertaining that you're white knighting yourself with the supposed honor of refusing to buy Sansung devices because of them no longer supporting year-old hardware.
Things move fast, the employees that make the updates at Samsung don't have any obligation to continue to work on old hardware.
The Evo Shift isn't getting ICS and it released after the Galaxy S line. Is HTC suddenly not carrying for its customers?
Why, exactly do you care?
Your device WILL get ICS and the chances are you are rooted and even if it didn't [get ICS] some developer(s) is/are working on it.
Hell, I'm sure that rooted Galaxy S users will get it.
Enjoy getting gimped updates with features cut out once your apple device is no longer the top-of-their-line.
There is absolutely no reason for people with a device that old to expect ICS via their manufacturer.
You're basically saying that Samsung should update phones that it shouldn't really be on to it, providing a lackluster User experience.
The users would get all sorts of issues with it and no amount of features would change the fact that some of the issues would push that customer away from that manufacturer.

So sorry that Android's updates are taking much bigger steps than IOS' updates.
I believe the thing that the OP doesn't take into account is that even apple phones usually become to slow for the latest and greatest iOS version after 18 months to 2 years. In which case, you are back at square one if you had bought any number of android phones.
Regardless, 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other.

Don't let such a fear get to you. I doubt the newer models have that much of a problem anymore. Just make sure you search for any possible problems that can occur at the beginning. If you plan on rooting and flashing your phone i would even wait for up to 2~3 weeks but that's really up to you to decide. You won't regret this phone, good luck!
I used to have the incredible s and this phone is far better. Plus the 2.17 update is amazing! If you buy now you will get newer models without issues.
A new revised version of One X (AKA Endeavour C2) is already in the works. I’d say wait for it.

Don't do it. Buy the galaxy s3 or the one s. HOX is the most disappointing phone I've ever owned. It may well be the case that the newer ones come without defects but that kind of consideration should not even be in the equation when deciding on your next phone. I expect it to work properly out of the box.
No doubt every phone has its problems when first released but the myriad of problems with the HOX is unacceptable especially regarding htc's poor history of quality control.

The reason the HOX was so desirable is because it isnt as pocket burning as the SGS3....if the HOX+ manages to emerge without issues, it would be a definite buy...then again, feel like waiting to see what the new Nexus has to offer
The purpose of this thread is to see how many people are still loving their One X.
I was fascinated when I bought it. It was the most beautiful piece of technology I ever owned or even laid my eyes on. I still love it. For some time a week ago I was really disappointed in HTC. Not giving us S-OFF. Not releasing Jellybean even tough they promised to. But then I flashed a really nice ROM and it kind of made me think my choice of the One X over SGS3 was right. I flashed ICJ and it's a new phone. I just needed a change, got bored of the stock JB. And seeing all the tweaks and options on that ROM just reminded me of how great this phone is.
Do you share my point of view or have you already lost faith in HTC?
I still love my htc one x but it doesn't changes the truths like late jelly bean and no s-off. I will sell my hox and buy a n4 just because I want the pure google rom and google support.
Why are you happy with your choice of the One X over the SGS3 when you are having a better experience with TouchWiz, the default SGS3-launcher?
Seems a bit ironic.
I am. Love sense and the hox. For me, the best phone out as of now.

I never said Sense was my choice. I really dislike Sense. I normally use stock JB, but I just wanted to change things up a bit. I chose the One X because my last 3 phones were Samsung and all of them had difficulties with hardware after a year or so. And because it looked a million times better and more high quality compared to the SGS3.
No. I'm getting a Nexus4 ASAP

Well, I was never in "love" with any phone I owned; but I am pretty happy with it as the main electronic device of my daily life, with the laptop and TV.
can say that it is the one which broke the Sony trio, but not unhappy or regretted with that choice.
Still I want the whole Android experience and some HTC experiences to be improved, but I will not cry for things I already knew before buying this phone.
Fiasco? Not releasing JB even promised?
I think you better change the point of view you have on some specific cases. Otherwise you will never ever be happy with any piece of stuff you own.
Wow, some interesting opinions here.
When I first got my HOX, I loved it, it got the WiFi antenna problem, I sent out in for repair, it came back with a broken case, I sent it back it came back with the screen chipped and yellow spots, sent it back and now I have a new HOX.
So for quite a while I was not happy, but now I'm in love again. I got a cheap silicon case which gives it better grip (I find it a bit slippery to hold as it is) also I notice the led seems to be in a better spot. So it good all round.
As for the infamous jelly bean, that's the icing on the cake. Can't live without Sense, so don't want to flash stock.
First Smartphone
This is my first ever smart phone which is also first android phone..
When first time i saw this phone back in March-12, the first impression was for me, forget the budget... if i have to buy a phone... it will be HOX only..
Forget iphone or BB, even S3 was not in options for me...
and later what happened is just a history now... i have flaunted this phone in my social circle as much as one can do with their Ferrari or Lamborghini..
and i am also happy because after seeing my HOX, few more people were convinced to buy HOX or HOX+ instead of S3...
And no need to mention that, i never switched to any custom ROM.. all pure HOX with Sense
Still happy with the HOX in some kind but honestly: Since i got me a Note 2 for work i touch the HOX more less and less.
after 5 months with my hox i still in love with it! amazin design and everytime i watch it i love it more!
no s-off, but why do we need s-off now? we have everything we need and we'll have it for long time, and if we'll have s-off too in the future it will just be better!
amazing hardware, amazing display and amazing sense! if i'm bored by sense, i install cm10 or just any other launcher! and i can return to sense whenever i want!
I hate my one x. Gorilla glass cracked at 1 foot. Crap memory for recovery hence no 4ext. Bad move on no microsd. Only thing good is crisp display and nice processor.

i haven't used many phones... would you tell me which SMART phone screen can survive after falling on ground?? i might have been just lucky because mine has fallen 3 times (yes i remembered each, it was mini-heart attack for me) but i guess screen has survived some how..
Hey all-
I am in the middle of a dilemma, I currently own a VZW galaxy nexus and it is on its last leg. The battery is shot, takes forever to connect calls, and is slow. I have been trying to baby it till the nexus 5 comes out but it is so annoying using a phone that is slow. I have been looking into the HTC one (my previous phone was the HTC incredible and I loved it). But I cant decide if I should try and wait for the N5? I understand that the HTC One as of now cannot achieve S-off/Root, but I am assuming it is only a matter of time till developers crack it.(thank you to all the great developors on XDA!) so what would you do in my situation? Wait for the N5 or go with the One?
I am really drawn to the one for the metal body and the new sense seems pretty nice, IMHO the S4 is to gimmiky.

Who's to say that the Nexus 5 is coming to Verizon unless you plan on switching carriers.. You weren't really clear on that aspect. There is a great deal of new devices that are coming out soon which should make for an exciting fall and Q4..
Also on a side note never buy a device with the assumption that the developer community will unlock, root, s-off the device you plan to buy. With devices coming out so frequently and OEMs becoming smarter with the way they are locking down their devices it's a game of cat and mouse or hit or miss if you will......
I recently purchased the HTC One just because it's an amazing device, that is with the hopes the the real deal hackers crack the bootloader to achieve s-off, unlock, root etc...
Right now I am in the same boat. I have waited this long what's another month or two to see what the Nexus 5 has in store?
Yes it may mean changing carriers which sucks but Verizon has done everything to sabotage the htc one (4 months late, no black model, quickly locking it down) that they no longer deserve my business...
So I will wait to see what the fall phones bring before making a decision at this point.
As soon as you wait for one device to arrive, another ridiculous phone is right around the corner. It's an endless cycle.
I was in the same boat. HTC Incredible > Galaxy Nexus > ? I considered the Nexus 5 but between the solid rumors it is going to be an LG (my least favorite oem) and the fact VZW let the N4 pass it by I opted to go with the HTC One.
Got it day 2 expecting to unlock it. No such luck but not having root after coming from a Gnex has not been a big deal. The HTC One is sooo awesome compared to the Gnex. The only things I miss from root/roms is long press back button kill (more of a habit than an issue), some of the Sense screens (Like the battery usage screen). They are such picky things I have no regrets moving to the One.
Did I mention that while my Gnex needed 1 to 2 charges throughout the day to make it to bedtime but the one can stay off the charger and with similar usage has 40% left. With heavy usage I got to 14% once after 16 hours on battery. Battery and sluggishness drove me to a new phone and I am glad it was the HTC One.
I agree with all of you, however I plan on staying with vzw.... What phones other than the n5 are coming out? There is the new lg buy I cannot stand the volume rocker on the back....is there any other phones that have been confirmed to be with big red?

Yeah I would assume the Note 3 would most likely come to Verizon as well being that it is the primary and most popular phablet to date..
Nexus 5 definitely won't show up on Verizon. The only other great phone left this year on Verizon will likely be the G2. That looks to be even more powerful than the HTC One and a larger screen. I don't care for it because its LG and their android skin is horrendous. I also could never get a plastic phone after having an HTC One. Its your call though of course!
I've sort of stopped playing the "should I get it or wait?" game because the smartphone market has just become so insane. Once you get a phone, a newer, better one is right around the corner. I got the HTC One knowing the bootloader got locked up, and I'm really enjoying it...even stock it's nice. I mean, I can't wait to put other roms on it, but nevertheless, it's awesome.
I also had a similar smartphone trajectory. OG Droid -> DInc-> GNex
In April I bought the S4, but really wanted The One. So last week I sold my s4 on craigslist and bought The One. It is fantastic as is. My contract is finally up in December, and coincidentally my discount expired this month. So if the N5 comes out and looks substantially better than The One, I will sell The One on swappa or craigslist or ebay. My point is go ahead and buy the phone, if you want something newer in the future you can always sell it and get another phone, though you may take a small loss. The One is amazing and although 6 months old I can hardly believe it will feel "outdated" in even a year....
encyvrs providence
I would stop waiting and just get the one. I came from the GNexus and the one is better in every way. faster, better screen, better battery, better speakers and sound etc.
My thought is that if there is a phone out I want I'll get it vs waiting. If you decide to wait for the next best thing you'll never get a phone. They come out so fast now.
sent from my blue police box flying through time.....
Thanks for all of your responses! I think I am going to go ahead and get the one! I am in the design industry and I have been waiting for a beautiful android and the one is it! Going out this week and getting it,
The N5 will most likely not be anywhere near Verizon/Sprint so might as well get a One.

I would get a one now if it has the nokia microphones and I think they still carry this feature. One HTC runs out of stock for these you probably won't see them in any other device in the future other than windows phones since microsoft is buying nokia. I listened to a few comparison videos on youtube and those microphones make a huge difference in recording capability. Htc ones with these mics will probably have high resale value later on down the road.

Microsoft isn't buying Nokia from any source I've read... In fact from what I understand nokie is thinking of backing out of the partnership they currently have...

I bought the one...it was nice. I returned it and am waiting for the Moto X to hit retail stores so I can Czech it out. I like as stock of an Android experience as possible, and the X looks like the best choice in that dept.
With the One, the build is awesome, the screen is great and the front facing speakers are amazing. The overlay I didn't care for (icons still remind me of my 2.2 Thunderbolt) and I thought the camera was terrible (even in direct comparison to my aging S3).
But, I think right now it's at least in the top 2 phones on Verizon, and I don't think you can go wrong with it.

They are buying the Nokia Mobile for $7 billion.
After reading a few posts, I see that a few people besides myself came from a GNEX. How many of us are there, and how are you liking the One? I love it, but wish we had S-OFF. I know it will be soon though.

I came from the gnex. I love the one! My one was sent to sonic for s-off! The one gets better after a good debloating or a custom rom!

I also came from the gnex and was lucky enough to unlock before VZW killed the tool. Been rooted on stock for a while now, and while I can say that Sense 5 is decent enough, I really missed the stock android feel. And using Nova Launcher just wasn't good enough.
So this morning I flashed it to the CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly. I have to say I feel at home again, aside from a few bugs that aren't necessarily show stoppers. Now using the interface I had before, I have to say I don't miss the gnex all that much.
It's not much bigger, and is a whole lot faster. Gotta admit, though, the reason I picked this over the GS4 was the front facing speakers. EVERY PHONE SHOULD HAVE SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT! The nexus speaker was just sad.
<shrug>
I was a day one purchaser of the GNex. Thought I was the coolest kid in town. Then the battery issues started. And the reception issues. I would have to carry a backup battery to make it thru the day. If that phone didnt have a removable back cover and had that battery, I would have upgraded long ago. I had the standard and extended battery (from Verizon) and both covers started to lose their fit.
I love the premium feel of the One. I'm getting much better reception in my location. LTE speeds are quite improved. And the glorious battery life, it may not be the best, but coming from a GNex, it's worlds better. The screen, hardware, reception, and battery were reasons enough for me to upgrade.
I will miss the multitude of ROMs the GNex had and its openness, excluding the Verizon aspect. Moving from stock to sense will be an adjustment, but one I'm kinda interested in. I'm getting used to the cap keys again. This is my first HTC phone personally, although I have rooted and s-offed some of the older models. I've been around touchwhiz and decided it wasn't for me. Also, the plastic feel of the s4 wasn't very appeasing.
Overall, I'm happy I made the decision to move on the One. The GNex is retiring and heading out to pasture with the OG Droid.
Peace,
:good::good::good:

I came from the Galaxy Nexus.
I came from the gnex and could not be happier. The only issue I have with the phone is I keep hitting the speaker button with my cheek when I am on the phone.
I LOVE sense 5 I was a huge stock guy before but I pleasently surprised

I also came from the Galaxy Nexus. While I do miss how easy it was to unlock and root, I'd gladly trade it for my One. Especially now that Sonic is going to S-Off my One.
The battery life and reception issues ultimately ended up being a deal breaker for me.

Is your proximity sensor off? My HTC One detects my face being near the phone and shuts the screen off. When I pull the phone away, it comes back on.
Me too
I came from the GNex and love my new One! I miss the GNex in a few ways but I'm s-Off'd, unlocked and rooted on the One. Go Sonic!
I came from the GNex. No looking back even without root.
did the shuffle to get here from the GNexus and am very satisfied. Phone feels, looks and operates great, even with S-ON. I plan on shipping mine out to get it S-OFFd and see if I can't get back to the 'stock" feel.
Wow there really are a lot of GNEX owners that came to this phone. I am extremely satisfied with the One myself.

Came from the GNex and flashed tons of roms and mods. Started with the S4 out of impatience and ended up switching to the One. Definitely enjoy the One far more than the S4 out of the box. S-Offed, unlocked and rooted but have no desire to flash anything right now. I'm sure that'll change at some point but this is the first phone that I haven't wanted to dump the manufacturers skin of android immediately.

Another former Gnex user here! Loved that phone, but it was time to move on. I miss the hacking and massive dev support, but android is so flexible even Verizon can't ruin such a beautiful phone
Going from an hour of screen time to over 4x that some days, Im in love
Can't wait until the hard working devs crack this bad boy open and really allow us to show what its made of!!

Had a GNEX for almost 2 years. Loved it. Did a quick stint with the S3 which I was not all that fond of. The HTC One is by far, the best smart phone I have ever had. Even without unlock and root, still an amazing device.
I came from the nexus too. Got the gnex right on launch day and same with the one. Missed out on the unlock though so I might go back to the gnex for a week if I decide to send the one to sonic.

Also came from the GNex. The speed, battery and radios of the One are definitely in another class compared to the GNex. Hopefully things will open up for the One when 4.3 or 4.4 roll around (Verizon...). Still thinking about sending away for S-off.
I too came from the GNex. I was one of those guys that thought I must have an AOSP based UI, but I have no problem using the Sense UI. Not as ugly and bloated as TouchWiz. I am currently back on my GNex using CyanogenMod 10.2 while my phone is being S'Off'ed. I cannot stand the bloatware that Verizon added to the phone. While back on the GNex, I am plagued with radio problems because of it being on 4.3. I am an extremely happy HTC One owner.

hello
My first Android phone was the OGDroid. After that it was the Incredible 2, then the GNEX, and now the One. I still miss the OGDroid, but obviously I've moved on to bigger and better things.
