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.

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

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
We know that jb will come officially for the one x, but what about one v? Some say that the processor isnt good enough for jb, while some say that the one series is the flagship series of htc and they cant leave one v out! So what do you say? Lets have a good discussion!

We cannot know for sure right now. If HTC will not provide us a JB build, probably will be ported from our brothers, Saga, even One S..

I think it will be quite a bummer if the "flagship" One series's V won't get the update to 4.1
HTC rewrites the UI quite much so it will be time to rewrite everything to the One V, but I think it would be done in time.
And not to forget that JB is practicaly a patch for ICS, so I think V will be capable of the system.
YES, One V *WILL* get JellyBean
Reasons:
As Ken Shi_Kun said,

JellyBean isn't something like Android 5 or 6. It's just 4.1.
Also, many people have bought One V as it's really cheaper than One X and One S and has the same IceCreamSandwich (just the HTC Sense 4.0 UI is a lite version). People like One V more than One X and One S (yes I've seen such people too!) as it can actually be called a "phone" which fits it the pocket and is easy to use. One S and One X have bigger screen size which is obviously little difficult to handle and the One S and One X are really costly (it's not worth buying just a "mobile phone" for this price). One V has the chin too! My friend specially bought One V for chin!
When anyone would like to buy an HTC phone and sees the One Series, probably the first choice be One X but the person will buy One V for sure if he is a budget-like person (who doesn't buy things more than his budget).
Moreover, there aren't many things for HTC to do for getting JellyBean for One V. It's just 4.1!

Totally wrong!
One V is not "flagship" at all. You cannot call "flagship" a phone that has 512 mb ram and a cpu that is 2 years old. This phone will PROBABLY NOT get Jelly Bean as an official rom, but then again, only time can tell.
AND JELLY BEAN IS NOT A PATCH FOR ICS!
If this is called 4.1 it doesn't mean this is a patch! Have you read what Jelly bean brings to Android OS? Changes are internally, not externally as in graphics and widgets. You all are expecting new theme instead of new code implemented and things rewriten just to make Android moving alot faster.
Have you ever heard of project BUTTER? This is the new stuff implemented in Jelly Bean. What this does? Well on short, GPU + CPU = UI RENDERING (as in Sense Rendering). Right now, ALL of Android OS'es are working like this CPU = UI RENDERING.
So Project Butter will make Android working at 60 fps, by activating GPU alongside CPU to make the UI rendering and thus not stressing so much the CPU that will have time and resources to do other stuff (such as running apps in background better etc.)
The One series is a premium line including the V. The mid-low line HTCs this year are called Desire. This is close to what Ken-Shi-Kun is saying. As the device was just released in April 2012 and HTC is marketing it as premuim (regardless of the 1 core CPU), it has lots of development life left.
Also, Jelly Bean shares critical hardware-side components such as drivers with ICS. This greatly reduces headache for the developers. For now, all of us are speculating.

but what about the gpu of one v? Does it (or rather, will it) be able to handle 60fps?

Even if htc does decide to give jelly bean to our devices, it's going to be bloated with so much crapware(read:sense) that I'm sure the effects of project butter will not be seen.
I think we're better off waiting for this device to get more development and maybe cm10 will come for it.

it is said that JB is not SO much different from ICS and it will be quite easy to upgrade ICS-running devices to JB. It wont take long as trasnfer from GB to ICS. Plus HTC tries to upgrade most of its devices releases in last 2 years, so I guess maybe it will take longer for One V to get JB than S or X but eventually it will.

no! JB is DIFFERENT from ICS. TOTALLY!
user interface remained the same, yes! but the changes are internally, on how the UI is rendered. basically the transitions and overall speed will get increased 100%!
Also, HTC is going to use its own launcher
Those new expanding notifications and the resizable widgets will most probably get disposed, or worse, "sensed".
Good read on what's new in project butter:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...roject-butter-how-it-works-and-what-it-added/
guys, we WILL get jellybean...probably slightly watered down to what the other ONE series devices will get, but we will get it...all depends on HTC and your Network....here's an example... my girlfriend has the Xperia ARC and Sony released ICS for it officially back in april\may her network provider STILL hasn't released it for her phone
Today, i wonna talk about the feelings about using HTC One X within these three month. Do you guys agree with what i said below these views and Suggestions?
HTC One X faults One: poor cooling, heating control is poor.
In a game process, basically 10 minutes can feel HTC One X higher body heat, HTC One X heat dissipation is very poor, CPU heat control is poorer, ARM A9 architecture and four nuclear collocation is very mature. The worse when in the summer, HTC One X of this defect is more outstanding, if you are not in the official website the OTA upgrade or flash, you must endure this faults.
Solution: Suggestions on an official OTA upgrades, you should upgrade to version 1.29 will be improved.
2. HTC One X faults 2: electric consumption too fast, electric time is short.
People who often use 3 g get to the Internet, and background to open some games, HTC One X may power spent only half a day. HTC One X power consumption quickly, stay electric time is short. The worse only after 2 month, my battery broken, i replaced another oem-battery in a repair shop.
HTC One X power consumption problem solution: brush into based on official bag custom ROM, simplify part of the application, do not recommend using a third party theme or desktop starter, suggest to add the weida save electricity patch.
3.HTC One X faults 3: memory is too small.
Because design reasons, HTC One X used Tegra 3 four nuclear processors, such collocation is some unreasonable. With a period of time you will find that HTC One X will be caton phenomenon, or three application above will also appear such circumstance.
HTC One X memory is too small problem temporarily no better solution.
4, HTC One X faults 4: Sense 4.0
This generation of Sense UI are no longer as fluent stable, because it takes a large amount of memory and the design of some complicated, changed the HTC to mobile phone users in the past operation experience
Sense 4.0 problems solution: through the flash brush into CM9 ROM or MIUI ROM or primary ROM, can substitute for good choice.
5.HTC One X faults five: details.
HTC One X's camera is prominent, so that the permanent will appear surface wear condition. Video recording although is 1080 p, but is not smooth, at the same time for the volume recording worse. The lack of HDMI interface. These are the details of the defects, One X is a regret.
Do hope these my opinions can give you buddy some help!
How about you guys comment my commarise for these shortcomings and suggestions, if you find any other inf about HTC One X, please give me the message.
1) If you can feel the device getting hot, heat dissipation is fine. Where else do you expect the heat to go other than "out"?
2) Electric consumption is too high -> too much energy consumption -> energy dissipation -> heat, same as problem 1). Firmware 2.17 is supposed to improve situation further.
3) I think this is more to do with poor memory management by android than memory quantity.
4) Again 2.17 fixes this.
5) Haven't really experienced a problem with the camera position on the case, the metal rim protects the lens (don't put it down on brick walls?)
As for HDMI don't worry, my MHL cable works perfectly

Sorry for that i am poor in english, i just wanna say about the defects and the advices for HTC one X. Hope this post can give you guys help.
1 - The cooling isnt poor, the reason you feel it getting hot is exactly ben said. Where else do you expect the heat to go? Up your bum? It escapes into your hand because it is trying to leave your phone.
2 - Consumption is fine for me, never ever doesn't last a day, then charge whilst sleep. Don't understand how you can drain the battery in less than a day.
3 - Again I agree with ben, theres more than enough memory in these phones, accompanied by DropBox you would never need more space than the 50 gig you get from dropbox and internal storage (Surely.... its a phone?)
4 - Sense is always a dodgey issue, some like it, some love it and others hate it. I generally like it but I wish it was more customisable.
5 - Simple answer, get a case?
Regarding point 3, we're talking about RAM, I think. 1GB, should be enough, but Sense is a bit of a hog. At least we have dedicated GPU RAM, unlike the XL.

This is totally worth mentioning. A lot of 1GB RAM phones have a good chunk of that stolen, where as the the T3 HOX has the full 1GB available to it. Looking at the kernel command line, I think the T3 HOX might have a total of 2GB RAM on board.

Heat dissipation is incredibly good. If your radiators at home felt cold they wouldn't work would they. Heat coming from something is indicative of good cooling/heat dissipation.
Battery life is amazing I got 6 days out of a hox. I thought I'd switched it off but hadn't.
1gb ram and 1gb video ram is more than enough
Sense 4 was perfectly stable and smooth enough. It's old now, 4.1 is as stable and much smoother, update!
If you have damaged you lens you were careless. I look after mine (dedicated pocked an not placing on rough surfaces)
There is an hdmi output.
Lastly, you're either a troll or not very bright. None of this information is hard to find. It's very funny how so many new members with low post counts have so much negative bs to feed into this section. Hmmm suspicious.
Very hard to convince die hard HTC fans or elevate to see beyond their phone , cause if it didn't happen to them than the fault doesn't exist ,that's the crap that HTC is being fed, no wonder HTC is very reluctant and slow to react to any problem .WiFi gate is an example, take Samsung for example ,there was one guy here in Ireland who claimed his gs3 burst into smoke ,the phone it self was in korea Samsung headquarters within 2 days, withing 4 days Samsung came out and said that the phone was exposed to external fire source ,matter closed ,HTC need to come out and defend the integrity of their product in a similar manner ,ignoring some HTC users which had bad experiences with their one x is not the way to promote your brand

Not everything is so pretty on the Samsung side either, check out the hairline cracks appearing on some S3.(http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-remains-deaf-to-Galaxy-S-III-build-quality-issues_id33091)
I went to a local retail store and there was an white S3 over there and after a close inspection guess what.. A hairline crack on the bottom of the phone!

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 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.

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 .
Sorry if got a little pumped out, but it seems like a troll talk for me .

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.

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
This looks like a comparison thread, I expect this will now be closed

hello all. im in a little bit of dilemma here.
im ex galaxy s2 owner, fell in water for 45mins (superb phone, RIP) and im about to sign my new contract.
price range is like this with me, its eighter HTC one X (int,quad) or LG p880 4x HD.
price difference is minimal for my contract. (htc slihgtly more expensive)
Now the thing is. i love more edgy phones (which LG is, reminds of my s2 <3) but since im not ultra rich i wld like my phone
to whitstand loads of monts of heavy use. and i know, HTC makes some really good finishes on their phones.
When u look at specs, basicly the same, 720p screen, similar shooters, same RAM, same tegra 3..
So, honestly, check the specs of LG and tell me, what would you choose if you were buying one of these 2 now?
and no, i dont want ANY OTHER phones. nor do i have the money, nor does my provider offer.
Anyways, thank you for any opinions.
One X all the way development and the quality of the device is way ahead

thanks for reply. thats what im thinking myself, lets see what others say
One X. No question about that. You're on xda and this is all about development. 4X has nothing.

yep my sister has 4XHD but i didn't found something really for it...and the phones is still on 4.0.3 ....ok it has larger battery and my sister said she has good battery life but yea ok screen development etc is nothing compared to our hox
I own both as you can see from my signature and i can tell you ..
1. HOX has a little better screen-color, saturation but i do not like HOX screen because the glass is like mirror if you use phone outside and need really pop up your screen brightness -> battery drain as hell
2. Battery time differences when you actually use phone are almost the same, some times better with 4X some times better with HOX (i do not play games - only movies, web browsing, sms and calls, photos (HOX camera is battery drain in comparation with 4X)) - but standby time is better for HOX
3. HOX build quality is better, my LG 4X is 6 mounts younger than HOX but have cracking sound and looks like 6 mounts older than HOX actually , HOX is stable regarding screen replacement-my fault (i must say i do not use protection cases and screen protectors)
4. Must say that 4X with JB have done a good job with camera..better pics than HOX, especially closeup photos- Really without complaining!
5. Must also say that 4X JB update is first android and LG user interface that i do not wont to change, you really have much options for personalization and also much user intuitive than HOX
6. HTC push Flash player app on HTC even in JB for web browsing, 4X UI have landscape mode for home screen and app drawer without using a custom launcher!
7. For developers ..probably HOX is better..But 4X also have support, 4X JB source code is released from LG, CM nightly is here allreday, and actually flashing custom ROMs it is much simpler for LG 4X - just need actually rom manager from play store, and just put desired rom file to sd card, and much more simpler to go back to stock-just flash .kdz or .dz, and you can root 4X without unlocking bootloader and using custom recovery which you must do with HOX because of S-ON!
8. HOX after JB update support usb OTG natively - LG 4X as it seems have hardware limitation even if that function is enabled with some apps or hacks..
So i can not advise you what to buy because - your needs->your phone but i can say that after several months of usage i choose to use HOX for testing and developing and 4X for every day use, using 4X on daily base is for me much happier and easier experience!
Hmmm. So my thoughts exactly.. LG maybe better for daily use, but not a really awesome build quality..
donno. well, im goin to pick one of these up today. i quess ill just test them both there and see. will let you know what i chose
In my group of friends there are three 4X's and one, mine, One X, so I've done quite an extensive comparison over the time and I can tell you without being biased by my love for the HOX, the HOX is a better phone. You get a better designed/built phone with a better display. Photos are better on the 4X but the video shooting and camera options go for the One X. Sense is better than whatever the LG skin is named and we'll get Sense 5 in the future. Last but not least the One X has way more active development that is very important when choosing a phone for people like me, I don't know about you but it probably is important to you

im back from shop with HOX!
i compared them there, and what really made me decide for HOX is build quality. also, better viewing angles on display. benchmarks were basicly on par, even with full sense running. also, im a custom ROM lover, and i quess HOX is better in that also, its been out for a while.
HOX!
Optimus 4x is terrible for gaming. We got unlock and official cm10.1 now but theres no decent gaming kernel yet
