Switch from other phones? Opinions?

Anyone come from other android devices and have opinions on performance, usability, signal, battery life, etc? I'm considering jumping ship from a nexus s. Primarily for the size and battery life, if it is as good as I hear.
Anyone comment on pros/cons vs other android devices you have owned?

Bump.........

Well, I just had 1 smartphone before the Defy, which was a Samsung Galaxy Spica - an Android device as well. It was a piece of ****, often crashing multiple times a day at random, problems with WiFi switching (sometimes causing a system crash) and mobile connectivity (no INet axx occasionally) as well as numerous other issues. These occured using the original firmware. Because of the instability it was basically unusable.
I'm really happy I switched to the Defy, because its a reliable phone, fast and you can actually play some games on it - another thing that was barely possible on the Spica.

Ill totally trade my defy for your nexus s xD

Defy has incredible battery life, sound, touch accuracy. Invincible exterior and nice contour design.
Good rom support and great signal.

Motorola has a locked bootloader. About the only thing bad about this phone.
Compared to the nexus S, slower processor and inferior graphics. I got it because it was incredibly cheap for the performance.

That seems a pretty fair summary.
Though I'd add that whilst the CPU/GPU does sit beneath the Nexus S's performance-wise, it's certainly not an under-powered handset.
The battery is really impressive - I get anywhere between 2 and 4 days, depending on how heavily I use it.

I came from an XT701 moto phone. The specs much lower on that phone and u notice the improved performance with the DEFY. one thing the XT701 was better was camera... very nice xenon!
But the DEFY is much better... much more internal memory, much faster, screen doesn't scratch, have dropped it numerous times... not a single scratch, I scratched up my old phone in 6 months.
I've also done the water testing at the pub and it wasfully submerged in a jug of water... and survived, many in the crowd VERY IMPRESSED!

The Motoblur launcher seems a little laggy. Switched to GoLauncher EX, and it's smooth as. LauncherPro is even smoother, but I prefer Go.
I literally JUST rooted and overclocked it to 1GHz. Pretty easy procedure and runs smoother. It's a really good phone, especially for the price point. Add in the fact that its waterproof and pretty much indestructible makes it awesome.

I am looking at getting this phone on my next contract upgrade, its either the defy or htc desire can anyone point me in the right direction ?

when overclocking, do you lose any battery life? Don't you lose the blur widgets on another launcher? What do the variety of roms out there provide?

I'm still on the standard ROM (2.1), just rooted with SuperOneClick, and using SetVsel to overclock. It's scaleable, and I've noticed better battery life when the phone is on standby (SetVsel settings are force 300MHz when screen off), but it does seem to drain more when used (vsel at 1.1GHz I have as the same as it was at stock 800MHz). Haven't noticed any instability.
I havn't played around with any ROMs yet, I just don't want to waste any more time

This is a good phone, but I'd go for the desire. The reason I got this is because I bought it sim-free, and the desire was about £350, whilst this was £270.

My first Android phone was the G1, then followed by Moto Cliq, HTC Hero, Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro and most recently Samsung Galaxy S.
I'm really glad I switched from the Samsung Galaxy S, even though the processor + graphics aren't as good I feel the Defy still performs much better. Maybe that's because the Defy has more RAM?
I've experienced very little lag, during times when you'd expect very heavy multi-tasking.
The downside is the locked bootloader and lack of firmware updates that Moto displays.
As for battery life, I've had decent results. Most older handsets I used to worry about switching down to 2G to extend the battery life.
Using Setvsel I usually have it clocked at 600mhz and undervolted and everything still runs really smooth.

They're both nice and in performance I think they're roughly equal except the Defy graphics are better and has better battery life.
The Desire will serve you better for Custom ROMs and firmware updates if that's you're main priority. Don't expect the Defy to get anything past FroYo.
As it looks like you're on T-mobile, I'd aim to go through retentions when it comes to upgrade time and back yourself a good deal.

Bearing in mind that you're posting in the Motorola Defy section, you're probably not going to get particularly unbiased advice...

I haven't really reached a limit for the defy's utility yet at 1.1GHz oc, but what I can say for certain is that the LCD's is pretty midrange and it seems that screen on really chews down the battery life as well.
I've seen worse screens (cheaper nokia phones) and better screens (AMOLED, apple iphone and ipod touch screens). It's not really a problem unless you have two or three people trying to see what's going on though.

sensation xe to one x

hey dude, im a sensation xe user,now im planning to upgrade my xe to one x,anyone else did the same?and is it worth to upgrade?

Search read and find out for yourself. Stop being lazy. There is a sticky were it has reviews for the phone. There is a battery stats thread were you can.check the battery life of the phone and many people have asked the same stuff you did so search for them.

I had the sensation and was my first android or any type of smart phone, im no dummy either so it took me bugger all to learn the tricks of the trade. Sensation was def a great phone no doubt's there and the software upgrade made the phone even better from GB to ICS, but it was not perfect.
The HTC one x was a great upgrade in comparison with the battery being about the same as the sensation with all the kernel tweaks and software updates on the sensation. With that said the one x is still early so could surpass the sensation with future updates, also the standby is far better on the one x with it dropping next to no life over night its so awesome xD.
Performance wise its better by nearly two fold with the UI being more aggressive and advanced with having to run more and yet being more smooth than the sensation in the end, Games are obs better with tegra 3 but normal games are also better as well.
As far as sense goes it might be opinion dependent but i think most would agree with the 3dot removed it is by far the best thing htc have bought out with their UI layouts.
Camera is better by two fold, sound is much better, HP output much better, build quality IMO much better, the list could go on.

Lolz you know i am so fedup with this phone as i am planning to switching back to Sensation until some good quality quad-core HTC devioce will come, i am selling it, maybe i suddenly find something great in One X, and postpong selling it, well the main reason is the poor battery life, i can hardly get a freedom to use my phone without having to worry about remaining battery, i have just xplore, es file explorer, opera mobile and uc browser installed, with no auto restart app or the one which runs at the background all the time, eerything else is stock apps, i know everyone has different opinions about different things, and you should explore and research more about it, un-removable and poor battery life is the one thing, then i saw some people reported it shows a lot more memory in use even if they have used a less than that, i am just planning to switch to Sensation..could have get Galaxy S3, but don't like samsung devices at all, so i am going with Sensation + 64gb card in place of this peice of crap..

I assume you're joking. My battery life on one x is about the same as sensation on custom ROM and kernel with Anker battery. The one x will get much better battery life over time.

however good luck, since there is a higher chance of getting defected unit
this phone is made for gaming, battery times is amazing screen off and screen on time is limited to 4-5 hours @ max

Install Betterbaterystats from the playstore, i guess you have some stampeding apps in the background running. How long is your screen-on-time? I get a full day easily on one charge!

im coming from the sensation myself, the htc one x is superior in many ways

i checked with betterbatterystats, i don't take my cell with me at office, so it's usually powered off for 10 hours per day, now i turned it on for 10 minutes, and exactly same is the screen on time according to betterbattery stats, and wifi is also running, so i charged it fully before turning it off, and now after 10 minutes i think it has used 7% of juice so far...what do you think?

I did the same upgrade, definitely worth it!

I owned a Sensation XE and currently own an international One X.
I loved my XE. Prior to that I had an Amaze 4g, prior to that I had the original Sensation. My XE was stock, running ICS with Sense 3.6. I noticed after the ICS update, my phone ran hotter at times (typically during web browsing). Anyhow, I am very happy with my One X. Here's why...
1) Larger screen with better viewing angles and at a higher resolution. 2) Thinner body. 3) Significantly better camera. 4) GREAT battery life.
A few cons though: 1) Slightly laggy at times (so was T Mobile's Sensation when it first was released-software updates will cure this). 2) It will get warm/hot but not as hot as my XE did after the update. 3) Non removable battery and storage (always had the option prior and hate the fact that it is no longer an option with the One series).
The screen on the XE was not all that great. Day to day use was perfectly fine, however if you were to compare both handsets side by side, you will quickly realize how awesome the screen on the One X is. Black text is closer to gray though, however I am okay with that considering the screen itself is vibrant and really sharp along with the fact that it no longer "washes out" as you tilt the screen. The angles are amazing.
As far as battery life, ICS does a hell of job with power management-one of the first things I noticed with my XE after the battery. Still, it would be great to be able to OD on your phone and simply pop in a fully charged spare which again, not an option here. My phone is on from 7 am to about 10 pm before I hit 10%. I text often, web browser frequently, FB all day, Twitter all day, Gmail, hotmail syncing every 15 mins, WiFi on the majority of the time, some YouTube. It is really quite amazing that I can do all of this stuff and confidently not worry about my phone dying on me.
The processor itself is quite the novelty. Great for more complex gaming however in day to day life, it will feel the same as the Sensation XE or any of the more recent HTC's prior to the One series.
The camera is really that great. No other HTC can touch it as far as quality. The Amaze had better quality than the Sensation and One X surpasses the Amaze when it comes to final results. Very pleased with the camera/video.
The One X is slightly wider than the XE and definitely longer (just like the One S is longer than the XE) but you get use to it quickly. If you have smaller hands though, it will be a problem.
If you get one, hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
Later

well , just have my 1X ,coming from XE
@the very first glance .. wow ! this is not a phone
it is a piece of art , and you'll realize instantly that it is a generation ahead over the sensation which has not such "impression" when compared to one year older DHD .

yup view angles completely changes the way you work with this device you can simply use from the worst possible positions lol
this the same for the weight and ergonomics never held a device that felt so elegant n refined in hand, like gf7800 its a masterpiece, you feel the future is now
the One X is just pure awesomeness if it wasn't for some of its trouble on stock software and the difficulty to acquire a flawless built one x
for example lag can be cured using root by ultra smooth sense launcher and custom kernels
also minimum clock control is a must for THD games and of course multitasking mem free values foe those who want more multi tasking

[POLL] Did u get ur One X for gaming? or to conserve power for sake of mother earth?

Sorry about the humor title, i made this thread to stop arguing in the productive kernel development threads, so please vote here!
Did you chose your Tegra 3 One X for it's gaming brute force, games that Tegra 3 was designed for like HORN, Shadowgun THD and Dead trigger, games that Nvidia aggressively pursue, like they ported unreal engine 3 and keep pushing for the usage of quad core in games, this kind of console like gaming requires the maximum out of your CPU
This is why we are endlessly trying to squeeze T3 to it's limits, we found the optimal CPU governor settings in the gaming scripts and renovate gaming boost app and pushed top kernel devs like Faux to remove the single core step which was confusing and causing lag in multicore able games
Tegra3 in its full speed on the One X will give you around 2.5 hours of non stop gaming screen on time, the good news the boost mode is easily switchable by using the renovate gaming boost app and this way you can gain more of your battery during normal use
Or non of this matter and you prefer development efforts to focus on extracting the maximum screen on battery time, even at the expense of hindering the power of this thing, you are okay with it even if it means breaking the quad core ability in the Tegra3, like in the Nvidia Glowball tech-demo (any tweaking to the quad balance will cause lag in this app, the same for many Tegra THD games )
Gladiators, begin! :laugh:

I couldn't care less about 3d games on my mobile. What I want is a sleek interface, no stutter when browsing through websites or menus and a "decent" battery life. And, the customisation options of Android.
I don't think playing 3d games on phones is feasible yet. Battery life is too much of an issue and the phone (and internet) abilities of mobile phonesbis of far superior importance to entertainment for most users.
PS: It annoys me so much that theoretically very simplistic games like xxx with friends use so much energy, though. I wish they were properly coded.

I bought a ferrari for save fuel...
The battery life is enough for me I can easily do 4.30h with 70% brightness if I don't play anything or around 3h if u play for around 1h, if you wanted a more power efficient phone there's the razr maxx or even the one xl/at&t version , there's also a lot of very small portable batteries with 3000mah for a very cheap price.... So I don't really get why people want 6h on screen, you will never use the phone for all this time if you're outside.

exactly especially since the phone drains almost zero when the screen is off even with all the data connections
i mean you have crazy amount of screen off time and screen on is based on your usage
pretty damn sweet deal if you ask me
but some people are asking for kernel development like the old days, where you try to control and subdue the device performance for the sake of more battery
Tegra 3 is not like those old devices, and this logic doesn't apply, for three reasons:
1- Its a quad core, don't get a quad superphone for your emergency use!
2- no point in doing anything about screen off life, Tegra 3 has it all solved and built-in thanks to the fifth Low Power core
3- you can't customize or create your own CPU governor, Tegra 3 is very unorthodox when it comes to it's CPU control, any attempt to change CPU control ends in breaking the main quad functionally, even clock speed control is very hard to do
In other words those asking for kernel development to "tam" the quad are actually asking the kernel developer to break Tegra 3, you are better off disabling cores using a core control app or reducing clock speed using userspace governor
and finally
the main battery consumer is the screen, you gain a lot more screen time by reducing brightness than by killing Tegra 3

and those voting for i don't mind balance between the two
do you cry if Nova3 runs laggy on your One X?

Lol i really dont mind how long the battery lasts as i carry my charger anywhere! I love ragging the F**K outta it for gaming! :silly:

If I really wanted to and had the time to focus on playing games I would have bought a PS Vita or something. Would have been better (since its also a game pad) and much cheaper too.
Buying a device that's meant to be primarily used for web, communication and general multitasking is a rather ridiculous idea if you want to kill it with games.

how r we killing it?
with the very maximum and most technically advanced game around (Horn, unreal engine 3), with full CPU boost and the fastest kernel, battery heat around 50c and you get 2.5 hours of screen on time with brightness @25%
i doubt any vita will do better, i know iPhone 4s can die in two hours on infinity blade!
now if you don't push it, it won't spend it very simple equation!

Selling One V and Buying DHD?

Hi, i'm planning to get DHD by exchanging it with my HTC One V.
Is it better than One V?
How is the battery life on ICS, i smwhr read it last for max.6hrs.
And r games like Temple RUN, GTA 3 and other HD games works smooth?
Please guide me.

I'm not sure how accurate these lists are but they show the specs for each phone.
HTC Once V
HTC Desire HD
I've not used the One V before. I still thoroughly enjoy my Desire HD.
I'm not really a gamer (on the phone), so I don't know about gaming performance.

With a bit of tinkering you can get a full day of heavy use and GTA3 runs great.

Isn't the One V just a repackaged DHD for the most part?

I've used both phones and If battery life is what you compare between the two you will be really disappointed with the DHD!

There's not much of a comparison between One V and Desire HD - http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3468&idPhone2=4575
Screen - Both same resolution, DHD has a bigger screen and a bigger backlight, so more battery usage there. One V screen is smaller, but is SLCD 2 which compared to DHD's LCD is better.
CPU & GPU and Chipset - Exactly same. That's why in my previous post I said the One V is just a repackaged DHD.
RAM - DHD has 768 MB, One V has 512 MB.
Camera - DHD has 8MP, One V has 5MP, but we all know that doesn't matter. See the link above for sample shots. Don't know which is better. DHD has a dual LED flash (extremely bright) while One V has a single LED flash, so the DHD has even more battery drain when using the camera with flash.
Battery - DHD has a measly 1230 mAh, whereas One V has 1500 mAh.
Now considering that for the most part they have the same hardware, especially the stuff that constantly uses battery (CPU & GPU), the One V has a smaller screen and a bigger battery than the DHD. Of course it has better battery life, there's nothing to discuss regarding that. That said, I prefer my DHD because I love it's build quality and the overall look and feel of it. Battery life is not an issue for me because I have 3 batteries that I keep with me when I'm outside, so that's 3*1230 mAh = 3690 mAh effectively. When doing a direct comparison of battery life, the One V will be much better, but something to consider here is that it doesn't have a removable battery. Once it's drained fully, you'll have to charge it. I just swap the battery in my DHD - makes life easier than having to run around looking for a charger.
So what you should buy comes down to these 3 things -
1. Bigger or smaller screen?
2. Heavy user or medium to light user that can make do with non-removable battery?
3. Software upgrades - The DHD will not receive any more upgrades from HTC, so your only source of the latest software is this forum and all the custom ROMs here. The One V will receive at least an upgrade to JellyBean, so you'll have a fully working version of the latest software without doing anything (if that's what you want).
I haven't spoken about the camera because I don't know how the One V camera is. You'll want to check that out too if you're a major camera user. The DHD camera is good.

And not to forget dhd has so many android choices from 2.2 to 4.1 while one v only have ics roms

Battery life is killing me

Hi all, I bought my brand new original HTC One X 3 days ago and it got the newest android version for it, JB. But there is a big problem and it is the battery, it's just horrible to see such a awesome phone with a battery life like that. Does anyone know which things I can do to have a better battery life? I already have the almost lowest brightness, no live wallpaper and no antivirus on the phone. I also use the official energi saving function that comes with jelly bean but it doesn't even make the battery better at all, not even a little bit. Please help!!!

You will find your phones battery life will improve, mine wasn't that good for the first few days.
When ever i get a new phone i always charge it over night & then when its off charge leave it till it bleeps to be put back on charge, do that for the first few times as i find it gives the best life.
Mine is very good now

can u say how long your on screen time or general battery life is? but at the first few times/days/weeks it's really bad but after few charge cycles it will bet better because the battery has to improve itself with the information the phone gives, you know? wait and charge and after a week or so it will be really better...

Or if you just disable google now you will be good. If you disable google maps aswell your battery life will be perfect. Something is wrong with those two
That issue is just with jelly bean

if you play more then 1 hour or so then that's not so bad because if you play a game or two only from full charge you can reache 2- 2,5 hours...with games like THD games or other which make a lil bit more heat or so ....and if you play only games like solitaire for this time or so ...then that's really not normal...you know that in the hox are 4 cores and 8 gpu cores, and therefore the battery isn't like in a phone with 2,500 or more mAh because our has only 1,800 mAh ...if yo uwant to disable it press long home button and then you can press the menu button and there will be settings in that you can disable google now and for the other google things just go in settings then apps and then all apps and there you can click on any app ! but don't deactivate system apps! and if you click on them there will be a button deactivate and yes press it and it is disabled

I usually play Dead Space but not for more than 20 minutes because the phone heats up like hell -.- And I disabled google now hope the battery will be a little bit better, but any more ideas how I can get better battery life please

With my HOX, I found having brightness at 60% or less made the biggest impact. Also, disabling wifi when not needed made a huge difference. Decrease the time between auto syncs, and also check for wakelocks. Might have an app waking the phone a lot.
But I do understand where you are coming from. The battery life was killing me also, so I bought a Note 2 as a primary phone and now use the HOX as a music player for which it is outstanding haha

the first time the battery is always bad ._. just wait some days or so and it will be better...and look with betterbatterystats which wakelocks you have then you can see which apps might make the battery life also more worse...

Thank you very much I will try them, the battery seems to be a little bit better when I turned Google Now off

i have the AT&T HTC ONE XL (L For LTE)
has the Dual Core Snapdragon and i say the battery is better lasting than ones with out the Dual Core CPUs

Pretty obvious, isn't it? Plus the Snapdragon S4 Krait has a better manufacturing process (I think 32nm) compared to Tegra 3's 40nm process, so it's more efficient and less power hungry.

To sum up. You want good battery go back to keypad £20 Nokia or Alcatel phones.
Smartphones will be pants for years to come

Not true. Look at the RAZR Maxx. If Motorola can put such a huge battery in a thin phone, there's no reason other manufacturers can't. Also, it was definitely possible to put a bugger battery in the One X, but HTC just didn't do it. They instead released One X+ sometime later and claimed better battery life as a 'feature'. That's just wrong, and very similar Motorola releasing the RAZR, and then the RAZR Maxx soon after. The phone should have had that battery since the start. The only reason I can find with Motorola is that the RAZR is slightly thinner for those who want it that way. But the One X and One X+ have 0 design difference.

My point was in comparison to old phones.it'll be a long time before we get as good batrery life as on old phones. Reason being smArt phones just do to much nowadays..many forgetting it's actual purpose

Just don't forget that the T3 is a pretty "old" chip, it needs a lot of power.
Nevertheless, I think the One X isn't that bad regarding battery life. It will drain quickly if you start gaming, but you should expect that. It's no gaming device, it's still a smartphone. Of course you can play your games every now and then but if you expect you can game with that thing for hours without getting it to heat up or charge it in the meantime, you put your money on the wrong device
