Hello,
I am a relative newbie here and would really appreciate some help.
I live in India and I am planning to get the HTC One X NA Unlocked from USA to India via friend. I have the following few questions:
1. Is it better to get the HTC One S NA or the HTC One X NA. Reason I ask is, the international One S does not have the Krait processor.
2. In either case, if i get an unlocked phone here and use it with a general SIM, will I not be able to update it with any firmware/SW changes?
3. What happens to the warranty of an unlocked phone? I am guessing there will be limited/no warranty on the phone in India.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, please do reply!
Regards,
Anupam.
The choice of one s / one x is upto you. I would say one x as that's what I've got.
The warranty may well be void in India.
As for updates that depends on the provider. I would suggest putting a custom rom on it.

Why do you want to to this ?
Why not buy it from india ?
1. One X
2. Upon booting you'll only loose access to HTC HUB which I guess none care
3. You'll still b able to upgrade the device.
4. You'll loose the warranty.
Guess this helps

Cheaper in US. $500 around which is roughly 28 K v/s 38K in India currently.
International One S does have the Krait processor. If getting the One S get one with the S4 chip as you can also get ones with the S3 chip which is slightly slower than the S4.
Both are very good phones, if size is not an issue then get the One X. My sister has the HOS, it has better battery life, better music quality via headphones noticablely faster in day to day usage as the S4 is a great chip.
The international One X has tegra which is good for gaming. One X has the better screen, HD resolution.
You'd be happy with either phone.

So does this mean i can upgrade without a custom ROM? I am a little new to this and have never actually played around with my phone. Hence would like to know what is the best way without too many customizations.

hi
FYI it was 35k when i got it 2 months back and when i cheked at chennai when i went their it has come to about 32k
As this being the "general" forum of latest HTC's android flag ship, I'm asking here.
After HTC released only WP8 devices on the 19/9/2012, I heard they will have another release on 26/9/2012. I'm really waiting for their phablet because the Note 2 is very expensive and the GPU is old..
Thanks
Football often knows these things ahead of most people, subscribe to his twitter feed (football4pda or something) and you'll likely find out before htc release to the general public

The next HTC device could arrive quicker & more of a powerhouse than you think.....

Speculation is mounting that the next Google Nexus 5 will in fact be the HTC One X 5. GSMArena.com has received a tip saying the 5-inch display-sporting Android handset will be made by HTC, and has even been passed on some specs.
According to the tip-off, the Nexus 5 will house a Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, a 12-megapixel camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper and a whopping 64GB of internal memory storage. It will also use a 2,500 mAh battery and will offer LTE connectivity.
However, what really stands out is the claim that the display will be 1080p – a huge task for a screen size of 5-inches.
Of course, it being a Nexus-branded device, we can expect the phone to run on the latest version of Android, with GSMArena citing the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 operating system, providing bug fixes and Project Butter for a smoother user experience.
Pocket-lint has been told that the HTC One X 5 is real (also known as the HTC Droid Incredible X), despite the handset having yet to emerge from its hiding place. When it does finally appear could it be in the shape of the Google Nexus 5?

Now if that is the case I'm sure this could be a huge success for HTC! We all know the device is real and out there but the question is what will it be a nexus or a HTC Sense device?

I personally prefer HTC Sense over AOSP but let us S-OFF our device

Paul O'Brien over at Modaco has already stated the 5 device from HTC is in actual fact a Verizon One device

for games, I want HTC keep using Tegra chip
Seeing this is a device specific forum I don't see a need for this.
Thread closed.
GUys I need some advice from you.
As you know HTC will be releasing HTC M7 in Q1 this year (2013)
I'm considering whether I should wait for the M7 (or other new models release this year) or just get the One X+
We don't even know what the merely-codenamed device looks like yet...
Why not the butterfly?

Wait for good! There might be a Tegra 4 HTC device in Q1.

Love mobile game.
Wait for M7+

If I was you I'd skip the X+ and wait for something newer.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
If I was the one getting a new phone I would have waited for a new device possibly tegra 4. I personally would wait for a possible new phone to check how it will be and for the price drop after a new model released. Unless your are in a new of a new phone now or don't care about the money.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
If the M7 comes out, then One X+ price will drop. If price is not the issue for you, then definitely wait for M7. With Butterfly flying around, I wouldn't even consider X+ at all. It'll be Butterfly or M7 for me to make my choice.
Looking at the specs of the Butterfly.
It does not seem a big difference and upgrade from the One X+
And besides, I also own a tablet which i will use it for gaming instead.
I don't think HTC will be a good choice.Maybe lumia 820 920(820has better performance cause of 800*480)One x+ is not so good.Maybe M7(if tegra4)

Why go for a windows phone? The platform is not sold yet better to stick with an android device if the op wants it. Just wait for the next set of handsets due very soon.

As well as build problems. I.e, sensation death grip and hox, yellow spots, wifi.

I have 4 choices , note 3, iPhone 5s , next nexus or the one x successor with TegrA 4, I love my one x but u think that Htc should improve the audio and optimise the os better.

Re: What is your next phone after HOX and NO A-OFF
To be honest my first android phone was HTC ,I had all the phones with all the problems you mentioned ,I think I need to get away to Samsung phones and see the performance ,get accustomed with rooting and all with Samsung and then decide if its worth it ,cause honestly I couldn't care less about sense and built quality if performance and battery life is good ,the end of the day phone life is 2 years.im Sure a plastic Samsung will last 2 years rather than good built quality with component deffects and all the crap that HTC is doing now
htc one x
htc again
Me too. I like sense but feed up of HTC and their antics. I'm going to move to xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
i had the htc tytn then desire and now one x ,next phone will be samsung,there so much easier to mod ,cant htc see thats why samsung have a huge customer base,
My OneX stopped working due to water damage. Not stocked anymore so insurance gave me a GS3 32g.
Had one when released and hated it.
New one on jellybean is good though.
Still miss the one x but Samsung aren't really that bad. Stock vs stock goes to HTC with Sense.
That being said I can't wait for Xperia Z.

No more HTC i'm done with them. I might go for Xperia XL or any other device .. Maybe the next MIUI device rumored with T4.
I dont know yet, i have hox and sg3, so i guess no one this year, no more HTC for sure... No soff, so, by htc. Gonna break for sure, at least phones. Will keep building only windows phones, so i predict competition with nokia only.
So the only brand is Sony and Samy, Sony will see no updates as it should, son maybe ending with Samsung.
Thanks for everything Htc, great phone, tegra is great on gaming but battery sucks in JB. Uncontrolled ota, ruu encrypted.. And more.. But well, hox still a great phone but .won't buy an htc phone anymore. Even if they give us SOFF.
And i dont lie.

Samsung S4..
Απ: What is your next phone after HOX and NO S-OFF
If S4 has awesome design then I ll go for it. Otherwise HOX until sth nice pops up!
On the road using my HOX
Unless HTC goes back to its glory days, this November I am getting a GS4 or the GNote 3.
I'm done with HTC. If I want to have a expensive peace of crap I will buy a IPhone. Because of there strategie to keep the devices locked within the future they should keep this trash!
I'm waiting for my Note2.
Some interesting comments. Seems there is abit of frustration with htc. Was going to go for the butterfly but All butterfly has is a bigger screen and krait.
but I'm moving to Sony Now. Atleast they do not break promises or let customers down

Hopes for htc ONE X to update :
Before questions could even kick off, HTC revealed in their Reddit AMA that — although they may not have the best track record when it comes to delivering timely Android software updates in the past — they’re hoping to change this image moving forward. How, you ask? Well, HTC has formally announced their new commitment to support all their future flagship devices with major updates for 2 years after they’ve been released.
Pretty bold words, considering HTC recently announced that the HTC One X and One X+ would no longer receive updates past Android 4.2.2 (which just rolled out last month, by the way). But according to HTC, it was a lack of support from NVIDIA that caused them to drop support for the global One X and One X+ (which ran the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset). So then what happened to the One X/XL in the US that uses a Qualcomm processor? Apparently, they didn’t feel like it would have been fair to only update X, while leaving the X+ users high and dry.
But, after much feedback from the One X community, HTC is now announcing that they’ve changed their tune, and are “actively exploring” how they can upgrade the HTC One X to Android 4.4 KitKat.
http://phandroid.com/2014/02/14/htc...s-for-2-years-exploring-kitkat-for-the-one-x/
Seriously?!? And, of course, they would only update the One X using the Qualcomm chipset, meaning the AT&T One X and the One XL? And leave the X+ completely out?
Sure, it would make some HTC One X users happy, but leave MOST of us ANGRY AS HELL.
I don't get it, why not pressure Nvidia to give support for their chipset? They did provide support for the Nexus variant, why not resurrect support for our version as well?
Well fingers crossed ,may be some glimmer of hope still .
So really we should be petitioning nvidia as well as htc

HTC promises to explore Kit Kat possibility for one X. But explicitly stated that is the North American version. Can we expect some love for the international version too...

That seems to be the right way to do it. Looks to me that Google already presured nVidia because the T30/T33 versions got 4.3/4.4 BSP and the AP33 didn't. Very strange since the architecture of those chips are almost the same. So nVidia has no reason not to release the same BSP sources for the AP33.
HTC should pressure them hard because theyve bought a lot of chips from nVidia and they cannot just cancel support after less than two years.
