The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to be coming to Sprint on April 15 but the HTC One X is also rumored to becoming to Sprint in Q2.
The One X is better in over all performance (PCMAG)
What do you guys think? Should I wait till Q2?

Well Q2 starts in 10 days. So you don't have long to wait
But seriously, this is a personal call. What do you think the people in the Galaxy Nexus Forum are going to tell you to get? You won't get a straight answer here lol. Same goes for the One X Forum. You have to decide whether having a Nexus is more important, or having better hardware specs is more important. Most people come to the Nexus for stock ICS and/or great hack-ability. They come here to get away from Sense. They won't want the One X to begin with.

You bring up very good points. I have had CM7 and now CM9-beta on the photon4g I'm using to replace my evo3d that got "lost" and I forgot how fast non-sense roms are. I miss it. I miss my Nexus One and CM on my Evo4g and Evo3d lol. I miss how smooth and fast it was and how I was able to customize everything to my liking. That's like +3 for the SGN. lol
Don't you think CM will come to the One series?

Barring it being impossible to do (locked bootloader), it is almost guaranteed (at some point) that CM will come to the One series of phones...

Get One X!!
Ok, jokes aside, you are not helping yourself by simply asking which phone to get. We don't know you; we don't know what you like and we don't know what you want your phone to do.

lol, did y'all see the press release on engadget. the HTC One X might be revealed on April 4th.
I dunno, I could see myself picking the One X for processing power alone (im a bit of a heavy user) but at the same time I could see the slimness of the ICS stock on the SGN being so fast. But that won't even matter sooner or later with all these more powerful devices coming out.
I don't know.

SGN will always be the first to get updates from Google. So if you want a phone that will always be on top as far as software updates, the SGN is the obvious choice. Although hardware wise, the HTC One X is the s**t
one x its just a beast, but i never liked htc phones, lame soft support compared to a nexus.

can be something true?
I'll believe it when I see it. Can't imagine it happening though as I thought I saw the other day that the one x wasn't getting 4.3
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
no one knows but someone from HTC said or better asked "who said we will drop support for hox?" maybe we will get only 4.3 but that would be even enough and if 4.4 htc is best...because the customers service and support etc is getting better and repair service...got nearly new hox without paying anything...only delivering...lol
Read on twitter a post by the liabrjfjjf whatever his nick is (a known source) that htc jewel will get 4.3 android in the future. So it is possible that we might too. I doubt about 4.4 though.
Sent from my HTC One X
I think and i can imagine, that it can be the most probable, that if htc update the hox, they are going to update to 4.4 because 4.3 is a minimalistic update from 4.2.2 so it can be a lost of time, so if we can expect a update it is going to be 4.4, that is what all the phone companies are doing, they are updating their phones to android 4.4 and they jump the minimal update of 4.3, anyways we have to wait!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
if htc wan to compete with samsung...htc better give hox 4.4 update as galaxy s3 also getting 4.4...
Jeff Gordon from HTC said "Who told you we are dropping support for the One X ?" on twitter. Ok I have 2 possible theories why we *may* get 4.4
1. Because of the whole 4.2.2 and 4.3 mess.
See, unlike us, a majority of newer devices such as the One, One Dev Edition, Butterlfy, Droid DNA and Butterfly S did not receive 4.2.2. During that time, 4.3 was just announced and HTC opted to jump straight to 4.3 for those devices. Now, this was fine since if you look at their changelogs, 90% of the 4.3 update for them was what we got in 4.2.2. Fair enough. They were finally receiving the things we got. Now, the reason why they didn't update our phones to 4.3 was because I believe the amount of improvements were too little. So they just skipped it since 4.4 was on the way. What they may do now is jump 4.3 and go to 4.4 for us since it's pointless to give us 4.3 now. This is all due to the system requirements being halved and probably because of the One X+
2. Now, like I've said before, if they were to drop the One X at this point, it'd be understandable since it's more than 18 months now. However, the One X+ isn't. They have no real reason to drop it. Now, if they were to support the One X+ but not the One X, it would look REALLY bad because both devices are identical, just a minor bump in front camera specs, internal memory and a newer type of T3, all of which do not influence the ability to run 4.4. Plus, the Nexus 7 2012 like I have still has SoC support from nVidia, so they can't pull a fast one by saying they have no SoC support. They do.
Remember, this is my theory. It's based on my own reasoning and what I've managed to make out of the whole situation. Take it with a pinch of salt, knowing that our devices have seen 3 major Android versions and that is on par with or even better than Nexus devices. Don't see what I mean ? The Nexus One started with 2.2, updated to and died at 2.3. The Nexus S started with 2.3, updated to 4.0 and died at 4.1. The Galaxy Nexus started with 4.0, updated to 4.1 and 4.2.2 and finally died at 4.3. See ? Excluding the Gnex, we are on par and have even surpassed the Nexus line. So I am happy. Guess what I'm trying to say is, there may be hope but at the same time don't get over excited. As for the tweet by Football, it may have been just his own speculation, since we all figured this phone died at 4.2.2. At the time, he didn't even see the features for 4.4 and he probably didn't know about the rush HTC was making to get 4.4 out onto the One within 90 days.
@RohinZaraki...agree with your statement...since nvidia still supporting 2012 nexus 7...htc can get the sources too....so hox & hox+ should get android 4.4 update too...one x+ just 1 yr old phone...
If I should have to add a 3rd reason why that news article seems sorta legit to me, I'd say because the list of devices there seem reasonable. Look at the HTC section itself. All high end devices with respectable specs. Same can be said about Samsung and Sony. I'm not too sure about the hierarchy of LG devices but they seem reasonable to me too. I remember the Sense 5 4.2.2 update was a little hard to swallow for us since the One S was also listed, but this seems like a more reasonable list. Hopefully they are right.

If Samsung update the GS3 to 4.4 then HTC are going to put a nail in their coffin if they don't update the HOX.
Pity there is no easy way to get S-Off as that would make updates irrelevant to me then. (unlocked boot loader is lame in comparison)

From the information football (they changed their name? Llabtoofer?) has provided in the past, I think they're a safe bet
When the google play edition came out, we got the dump, and worked to making a flashable rom. Now with a Windows Phone variant running on the M8, wouldn't it be relatively easy to port it? I tend to switch between Android and WP phones. Having a phone that could have either would make me want to purchase the phone because I wouldn't have to switch between two phones constantly.
Is hboot on HTC windows phones? Is there a way to dump the system and port it? Make a rom possibly? Maybe possibly RUUs to switch between the OSs factory installs?
bump
The phones have different hardware so don't count to much on it...
From what I have read, the only change will be the OS
"As for specifications, the Windows-based (M8) will run on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, but should otherwise be identical to the Android model, from the Boomsound speakers to the 5-inch Full HD display. No word yet on whether or not the device will come to any carriers other than Verizon, but there hasn’t been any indication from any other carriers up to this point."
So I wouldn't go as far as it's not possible. There is always hope.. In the General folder there is a dev working on a Dual Boot M8. Hoping to see the WP8 on one of the boot....

The hardware is identical according to leaks, they just swapped out Android for Windows Phone.
@Oditius, thanks I found it, its called MultiROM.
I currently switch between my M8 and my Lumia 1020. I love the sleekness of Windows Phone and the big screen and awesome speakers of my One. Would be nice to see this happen a-la HD2
Wonder why this thread hasn't been closed by the Android police?
So you care to trust leaks but don't read xda ?

So you trust the word of one mod over hundreds of leaks? I am in the WP world as well as android. Ghost may be right, but then again there are too many very trustworthy leaks.

Why would i not......Why should i trust leaks even if it would be thousands and spreaded of the word of one man.....same as believing one mod !
I'm not going into discussion about this any further. All WP vs Android M8 are closed down.....this should be the next i guess
But this isn't about WP vs android. I like both OS's. This is about putting WP on an android device to have the best of both worlds

I still cant make up my mind. Just not sure the M9 will be worth it over keeping the M8. I live by Pittsburgh pa, so meeting @dottat and do the javacard would not be an issue. The problem I have is that the with slight upgrade compared to the M8 and if we cant achieve root(sunshine) the support isn't going to be there with kernels, firmware, and devs. Im sure ViperRom will do its best to keep verizon support but as we all know verizon tends to be on the backburnner. With every device being more and more locked up and verizon to refuse htcdev, plus since it seams GPE's are dead I am thinking the way to go would be is to switch to the new nexus phone if I dont get the M9 but who knows if verizon will decide to do nexus again so jump ship to att or tmobile. If I get the Verizon M9, I will be stuck with big red for 75% of the cost of the phone(unless I pay off early). All that being said I love HTC's started with the HTC Sensation that I still use from time to time then (got the S3 hated it and put sense5 on it lol) M7 and M8 and sense is the best. I would like your input, so should I get the M9 and chance the support or hold out and wait for exploit. Thank you for your time!

If you like sense like I do....there's only one answer. I love how this thing feels compared to the m8 now. Quite a few devs already have s-off so the support should be here.
Lots of new phones coming soon, including a couple of fancy Motorola and HTC devices. Sit right, hang on, then pounce on something.
My M9 is a great phone other than the Camera. I'm going to trade it in for the G4. I miss the larger screen size of the N6.

I think the M9 is going to prove to be the better phone, besides the new Nexus but that won't be til Christmas. HTC Sense is a force to be reckoned with! Lol. I know the camera is going to get better and for me, the call quality on this device is amazing. I think the "Edge" and the fingerprint reader are not worth ditching Sense and no external sdcard is a bummer for the wannabe iphone. With HTC Sense we do not need a whole lot of dev support, most of it is fine the way it is. But the support we do get from our great dev's turn the HTC into beasts. I know how great the HTC community is and the HTC phones so for me I am very happy with this beast. Now I cannot wait for the M10!
If my m8 didn't start giving me problems even after taking such great care of it, I would not have gotten the m9. M8 runs cooler with better battery life. I like the look and feel of the metal grey on the m8 better too. Oh well, root helps enough with heat and battery life to get me by until whatever HTC comes up with next ( if it's any good )

Just bought an M9, will see what it looks like. Been a HTC One since the start for years now. Don't want to bail if I don't have to. I'm a VZW customer currently, in that for a long time, so will see. Was hoping for a better camera and some better S-Off support without sending it to someone.
With the HTC stock price and beating they are taking...I guessing they might be coming up with something entirely new by the end of the year/early next year maybe?!?!?!
It is time for a platform/name/design change...and not like Samsung which is a direct Rip of iPhone and a poorer OS...haha..
Seems like the M9 is really dragging with support, and guys are jumping to the S6, but believe they are in the same boat. Plus, I really like Sense.
Guess we just need root/SU and a custom recovery anyway, and we got Viper and the likes and can move from there. S6 is still higher priced now if you buy cash like me, and there is even less support for that.
Just hoping for better camera support and VZW love DEV etc...

With 5.1 I find the M9 to be better.
If I was to of answered this whilst on 5.0.2, I would have said I liked M8 batter.
5.1 for the M9 brings much better support for camera, heat and battery which were my main issues with the M9 when I first got it.

Hi everyone, iam looking forward to buying the m9 soon, it is going to be the AT&T version. Usually in the ATT forums on xda there are many different threads almost everyday, but in the case of the htc one m9 there are hardly any new threads. Mostly the development threads are empty. So my question is, is there something i should know, like everyone converting to an unlocked m9 and discussing threads in this specific m9 forum? if no one is converting and there are no ATT threads then it would be rather pointless to get the ATT m9, i might as well buy the galaxy s6
I'm selling my unlocked M9 on swappa if interested!
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
This post is irrelevant to the question
95% of the activity is in the main M9 forum. Everything over here is usable on the AT&T M9. I got my M9 from AT&T and have been running WWE stuff on it from the beginning with no issues.
if you dont have an m8 then go for m9....
if ypu have something else like the m8 then go for m10 when released....
if you have money enough and dont care.....buy the m9 now and 6 months later m10...i will do this ;D
Thank you for clearing that up, but are the regular roms flashable on AT&T or do i need to change my cid
I just got my M9 and I'm loving it!
Actually I ordered both M9 and Galaxy S6 but decided to return the Samsung after trying out both in a couple of stores.
M9 is soooo much more refined to use both physically and in software.
I would buy this again in an eyeblink!
Changing to supercid is not necessary, but does make life easier if you want to update your firmware. Has nothing to do with the roms.
did the exact same thing. S6 was just ****ty touchwiz and made the entire phone lagged no matter what I did. HTC's software is just more polished and better, and with cm12.1 almost fully functional this phone will be awesome.
