Both are great
One X has a better OEM software, look (more elegant ) and build quality
S3 has a better battery life with better ROM support
I used to own both , but HTC devices seems to have a great build quality which is an important point for me

Hmm, they shouldn't have been. Did the discussion in those threads work their way into comparing software? That would be the only reason I can think of they may have been closed for.
Send me a pm with links to these threads and I'll have a look.

Yea could be that the software was compared too of each device...but okay if it's this case then I won't say anything...but if it happens the next time I will send you a link haha

If would suggest to you that you wait for htc to see if they release the sources. Then our hox will have the same rom support... The big boys at least otherwise the white color is really white on our hox and not blueish like on the s3. The battery is somehow the same but the build quality and feel thats on a other planet. Plus everyone has the s3.....

Me too, it's weird, on Sensation if someone make a new thread with question this one or that one moderator will as soon as posible close that thread and reason was comparassion even there wasn't software comparasion
after all i bought a hox from orange shop ,grey color .I went there and i "tapped" both ,i liked the design on s3 but it feels like plastic ,which i don't really like it and is so light ,colors are awesome ,but then i found hox ,matched perfectly for my requirements,is fast , no lag and he has a nicely design.
P.S: yes,i was referring at software comparison.

You guys shouldn't be so quick to judge though. The TP2 era was a LONG time ago (as far as smartphone time goes anyway...). I've made a lot of Android ROMs on several devices since that time. I think about 12 HTC devices have ROMs from me and they're all quality work.

Hey friends... Been a android user for a long time... Planning on upgrading my mobile... (currently i own galaxy y.)
I have shortlisted xperia z, galaxy note 2,nexus 4,HTC butterfly.
Seems xperia z will be very costly... 599 gbp (almost 820$)
So I'm thinking of leaving that one... I need help on note 2.is the exynos processor good enough and future proof? Coz I will having the phone for at least 2 years before I change again... This may have been asked many times in this forum but this one is vast... (Not like my galaxy y forum...) Been a while since the device was released.... So...,
How is the support guys?
Battery life? (pathetic in nexus 4)
Do you really use s pen?
I'm kinda mid sized person, how do you people manage to keep the device in your pocket?
Sound effect? (in headphones)
How good is the premium suit?
Any info on next update of touchwiz? (everybody hate it yet, I believe next one will be good)
Can the custom roms have multiwindow feature?
Which one will you be advising for me?
(no galaxy s4 or HTC m7 pls, can't wait that long... I'm in India and they release the mobile at a very high price, so gotta wait before I buy.)

Since Samsung is not a developer friendly company, you won't get enough support from AOSP or AOKP. Exynos is a Pandora Box, Samsung not willing to share any part of it or sharing very outdated versions.

Although I don't like Samsung much in some points, I always ended up with Samsung :S
I love my Note II in every single aspect.. But if you like AOSP or stock android, I dont think think will be the best choice for you unless you will not be using the S-pen. If the premium suit means the build quality , TBH its not as bad as people say , sure its made of plastic but once you get a nice case on it..it will feel very premium overall, I think you should get the Note II. The Xperia Z as you said is expensive and i personally dont like Sony's skin they keep on the phone (just my opinion). The butterfly,I dont know it maybe a good choice but i had an HTC before i get the note II and i can honestly say i will never get an HTC again no customer support..lack of updates,etc. But on paper the Butterfly seems good with Specs but daily life performance..HTC is Na-Na-Na-Na Bye bye for me
I have to say that I love my Note 2 also. I've only seen the demo (non-working) HTC Butterfly in the stores here in Japan, and it doesn't look as nice to me. I loved my HTC Desire HD, but after seeing the build quality of this Note 2, I think Samsung could have me as a customer for a long time. As for development, you can check out the rom list via my sig.
Thank you for your reply friends...
Good to hear positive ones...
Sorry by 'premium suite' I meant those apps which were specifically given to n2 and s3 by Samsung.
Not that I like pure vannila... But an active cyanogen mod 10.1 thread will be more than enough for me.
I was reading thru the battery life thread... It was very impressive... (seriously, what is the use of great features without a good juice support to use them)
Will Samloed be good to see?
(coz my favourite time pass is to count the number of pixels in my galaxy y)
Will be getting my new mobile by 10 days or so... (got exams now) will definitely update.
Thank you again friends. Just thought of asking how exactly a daily user feels about the phone

Yeah that's what I was hoping with xperia and butterfly... They disappointed me.... 45k? That's way too costly

This will never end
once there is S4 available, rumor get starts popping up for Note3
as well S4 won't have s-pen feature and may be screen size should have lesser than Note2.
So i think if you have short listed go with one of it.
samsung have disappoint us with note1/2 for brick bug and SDS but as above sinancetinkaya said, same here
Always ended up with Samsung

hope this phone gets the interest and the support that it DESERVES
it is nothing compare with the hw of the latest smartphones but if you have the sensibility to understand what this is about you will have no choice than get one :good:

If you do end up getting one, let us know!!
I like the whole "support great performance not warfare" bit. I don't know how the Congo is these days but back even a few years ago trying to source anything from there was hit or miss. I'm hope this company well but its not exactly an easy road they are choosing to take.

Fairphone is my favourite idea of this new "wave" of smartphones and OSes coming out. I only have one android phone, and it is my first, so not really an experienced used in this area, but I can really imagine a Fairphone running Firefox OS It should be named the "respectable combo" x)
Definitely a cool idea. I'm thinking about getting the next nexus though ( if it gas att LTE) that or a Samsung just because they are so popular (more devs).

Fairphone - The Technical Details And Links
Hi folks, I see you're interested in the Fairphone as well. I started a thread with technical details, linked in benchmark/product videos and hope to get support from Fairphone as I started several requests.
Just take a look: Fairphone - The Technical Details And Links
Thanks.
I found some intresting files in sys/ directory that could help me in this project but i need some some comments about it and im not sure about that the front and back camera will have this feature i appriciate every help i get
The HOX has HTC's own image chip that is capable in taking RAW picture but i think htc f***ed it up again so the RAW picture mode landed in the Developer partition of the Device so now my Project is to implement it again. The negative thing is just the htc album has no codec for RAW Pics so you have to use a third party app then :/
Examples:
-Android_Camera 2
-sys/modules/rawchip
sys/devices/virtual/rawchip/rawchip0
*there is an other file im searching in the sys developer partition

I still believe in HOX for Development
Sounds good but like many said HOX is not anymore * attractive device * for developers , we're lucky that we had great kernel devs and rom devs, infact we had best rom devs , sucha are richmond which made probably the most advanced sense rom ever in the history of XDA. Anyway the idea sounds good but requires some time , and by the time you manage to do it there will be only few left to use it or care for it.
Anyway i wish you all the best and best of luck into making this happen since i love my hox too much to sell it but still got me One.
