Dear members,
I would like to know the truth behind the issues faced by the HTC one X, which I read in many websites across the internet(and few here).I'm expecting a truthful reply from current users.
I was decided to get one for me untill last week, but the issues what I read for one X confused me.The issues that I came across was;
over heating(guess its obvious for smart phones)
Wi-fi issues(death grip issue)
screen/display flickering,
yellow spots on display,
Frequent black screens,
Restart troubles,
Music player issues(when music player stops when gallery is used)
Taiwan made phone's facing issues over Chineese made ones.
I would really appreciate if someone could give me their honest review of Htc One X and
help me decide whether to buy it or not.
Kindly address these issues ASAP, as I had already made up my mind to go for HOX, so that I can buy one with relaxed mind...
I cant think of any other smartphones as of now.
Looking forward to your responses and future phone
debates on this forum.
Thanks in advance

My first HOX was returned because of the screen flicking issue. Replacement is totally perfect and not had any issues with it at all. The phone gets hot after about 10 mins of continuous use but that is expected.
On the other hand my Dad just received he's One X and that has the Screen Flex issue on the left hand side. I didn't mention it to him as to be honest he prob wont notice but it just goes to show that recent batches still have this issue.
Overall Im really pleased with the phone and if you are unlucky enough to receive a faulty one then you usually have 28 days from the day you receive it to get a replacement sent. After that it's a trip to the HTC Repair center.
The only problems I have had are overheating (all the time, but I don't mind as the phone is powerful and I expect it to get warm) and the yellow marks on the screen, but they went away after a day and I haven't seen them at all (not even the tiniest bit)..

Yeah my first HOX was dysfunctional too (camera issues, a big 'stripe' when opening the camera app), so I went back to the shop to switch my phone for a new one. So far so good, no problems with my 2nd HOX.
I'm in your same situation I want to buy the one x but all this issues scare me, I think I'm gonna wait for at least two months and then get it, hoping to get a new batch, i cannot exchange it since I would be importing from amazon

yes but the above link doesnot show how to find the wifi problem before buying it. the hardware issue. any way to detect that. also what if the phone has a default battery. i cant ask the retailer to lend me the phone for a week to test. this doesnt happen in my country man. i am also afraid to to buy the HOX. today i held both HOX and S3 in my hand. and HOX looked so damn fuking good. but still very afraid to buy one.

you do not need to take the phone away to test it. you can test it there by switching it on and playing with it for a few minutes and check for any screen issues ie(flickering) or regarding the wifi you should not have any problems. is this job you buying it from are they are a well known shop were you can trust them to take it back if anything gets wrong with it?
just try and connect to a wifi connection in the store and ask the retailer if it is ok to see if that is working..
actually even better tell the retailer your fears about the One X and ask him if there has been any issues with it and he would be probably the best person to answer all your questions..
if you are still worrying about wifi though there are a few threads here in the general section which you can read upon..but i will tell you this i never had any issues with regarding wifi

Check out my thread here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721727
My advice is that if you really prefer the One X over the S3 (which I guess would be your other choice) wait a month or so for these issues to be addressed. HTC is getting a lot of bad press because of these issues and sooner or later the company has to deal with them.
I did a Google search today for S3 build quality defects and surprisingly there were just one off cases..nothing as major as the WiFi death grip issues, the screen flex issue, the overheating or the yellow spot issue! Thats way too many defects for any device. If you are going to be investing a good 36k wait back and let it pass.

As you said, I think its better to wait for 1 more month, till HTC sort out these glitches.
I've not tried S3 on hand till now, so I dont know how it is....my default option was HTC one X and I was eagerly waiting for its launch.But these issues really let me down...its like taking a huge risk as of now..so lemme wait and get it...sometimes anticipation is sweet when you are sure of outcome(Hope HTC rectify the issues)

Hey buddy,
here in India the story is entirely different.the retailer will have a display piece in their showroom, and the customer is allowed to use that alone for verification.
And once the customer buys the new one, and if he finds issues out if the box, the retailer wont take any responsiblities.
They will ask us to go to HTC service center, which will be miles away.The retailers really sucks in this matter here, and for the customer, its like trial and error.....

Try the S3 in the meanwhile..spend some time with it. S3 put me off primarily because of the looks.. Other things apart, One X is a more premium looking phone and for me this is a very important factor. Keep visiting your nearest retailer and see if the SH25 or HT25 series has arrived. This batch seems to be the best of the lot .. Holding back a month or so will really pay off in the end.

I have One X and I'm really happy with this beast ! No Problem at all
Very Fast, Huge Screen with unbelievable quality (Tegra 3 games are soo perfect), before i Had GS2 Note iPhone4 GS1, Evo3D etc... but this phone is simply amazing...
I had Overheat with some games on GS2 too... so i don't think this is an hardware issue (my opinion), Music quality is brilliant, camera is very very fast and many opportunities (HDR, Panorama, Slow motion record etc).
The only thing that i would say this phone is poor, is battery, it's not too bad, not too good ... In future we will have customs Kernels so i don't mind...
Hope I helped you

I've been waiting for 3 weeks now, impatiance is growing inside me, but i guess its wise to wait n watch for another 1 month..:-(
Do you any info, wheather HTC have responded officially regarding these glitches...will they cover all issues through the updates alone or any fresh batches of HOX can be expected?
Also, is it possible to know the batch name/code, from the box itself(without opening the box), if yesm kindly let me know how...

I am sure HTC is looking into these issues very seriously. They are getting a lot of bad press. When I went to the service center yesterday, I met 4 people who had different problems related to WiFi, over heating, display etc.
There is a way to identify the batch. There is a white label on the box that states the device's IMEI number and serial number (S/N). Look out for the serial number.. if it starts with a "SH25" or "HT25"..you should be good to go!

That info abt S/N was really helpful.
I talked with a retailer over here, and they informed me they are having SH25 black model in stock currently.I guess the SH25 is Chineese model...
lemme go there, once again have the demo piece in my model, gotta check all the things acco to the thread which showed "how to check HOX while buying"...
BTW what du think about SH25...??
I think the recent batches of the One X have relatively lesser to no issues. The death grip will be resolved in the future batches and so the ones now in the Market will most probably have it.
Other than that, the heat is obvious, but you can't play games while charging as the battery gets over heated. Also the screen flickering issues and all other issues have been resolved in the new test build 2.05 and that will be coming to us with some more improvements as well pretty soon. So most of the issues are resolved as well... I think you can go for it... You will not regret it.....
One issue is that you will face is the battery backup is not as good as the S3 but you can get through easily one day with moderate use.
Moderate Use: 3G data on full time, Auto Sync ON, FB whatsapp chatting youtube and so on for 1 hour(3G usage), calls for 1 hour, music for 2 hours.
I feel this is the best device on the market despite what the S3 lovers say... She is a beauty....
Update: I have not checked for the deathgrip issue as 90 percent of the time my phone is on 3G and I have little screen brightness adjustment bug visible when the brightness is really low.. But otherwise no issues what so ever.... I am having the HT24 model and no issues other than the deathgrip.

Heating issue is not a big issue, i guess, untill its safe to handle(till 45-50C)....n also, i'm a moderate user, mainly for music n camera....
can you pls tell me from where you bought your HOX(retailer n address)..
I'll checking out once again the demo model from the retailer in coming days, i'll keep you guys posted what I obvserved....

SH25 should be good... i think you can go ahead and buy it.. just dont root it and use it as much as possible for a good 7 days... just in case you face any issues declare the phone DOA by going to your nearest HTC service center within 7-14 days of purchase (earlier the better).. then you can get a replacement from the store that you brought the phone from.. alternatively just ask for a credit note from the store and wait out a month for the storm to pass
Although its very unlikely that you will face any issues with the SH25 model..Good luck!
So, I've got this tab for about 10 days now. Can't be really sure if this tab is working flawlessly. Been reading online and found some comment sections in reviews that really would discourage someone from buying this tab. So my question is, has ASUS really produced more defective units than the good ones or have i just been reading to much discouragement?
Some said their units were slowed down and they've tried, Factory Reset, changing roms, etc. And it still would slow down after weeks of using it. Is this real? Are there more defective units than good ones? Thanks guys in advance.
I got the tablet for about 7 months and besides touch problems(not registering touches while it's lying on bed and some ghost touches) it's working great. I need to try those touchscreen fixes(available somewhere here on xda) and see if ghost touches will disappear. Another thing is that there were not so many 32GB wifi-only models when I was buying it, but it's not a defect
IMHO there are not so much defective ones, maybe it depends on where the tab has been bought.
The 4.4.3 Android update coming in the next few weeks, will supposedly fix every issue we have been having. We've waited this long. A few more weeks won't kill us.

I ordered one a few days ago. But since I ordered it I started reading about all the issues it has.
Is it really THAT bad? Now I'm thinking of selling it as soon as it arrives and getting an HTC One A9 =/

No, it is a great phone, period. And a fantastic phone given the (U.S.) price.
The folks with problems will always be more vocal than the folks who don't have problems. But, for example, check out the heavy upvoting on reddit when people post that they are not having problems. There is a large (but mostly silent) majority of folks who are simply enjoying their phone and have no reason to post to internet forums looking for advice.
Also, note that what appear to be the two most common issues (slowdown/lag after long periods of uptime, and battery issues) also crop up in the 6P forums. I don't know why some people have these issues and some (like me) don't, but I am not convinced that they are phone-specific even when they do occur.

I do not have an issue when opening the app. Also, the stock app was just updated in the play store and I think I have seen some reports of people commenting favorably on the update.
In the interests of full disclosure, I should say that I am not a heavy camera user (though I do take pictures). I use my 5X mostly for e-mail, texts, voice calls, playing/listening to music, web browsing, and navigation.

Never read about issues before you get the phone. I got one a couple days ago and it is just as good as my Nexus 5. No screen issues as all. The device is physically perfect. However, if you go read about all of the stuff people have issues with you start dissecting your device and finding problems you normally wouldn't have noticed or that aren't real problems anyway. I bet if you went to the HTC A9 forum you'd find all sorts of threads with people reporting issues. People tend to report negative issues vs reporting on the positive.
Every new phone has issues. Only people who have something to complain about are going to be vocal. There are many, many happy users out there who haven't made a peep about their phones at all.
I've had my N5x for over a week now and am very happy with it. No issues, except for the very tight and stiff headphone jack.
Thanks for the replies guys
Same here, zero issues have been noticed by myself.

I found the camera lag seems to be related to AUTO HDR+. Camera seldom lags now after I just leave HDR+ off or on, instead of using auto.

No issues opening the camera here. It opens faster than the Nexus 5 camera.
Most of the issues people have are related to one of the apps or services they installed. Being a new version of Android with new features that need to be coded in (permission sets and doze) means there are lots of apps that can have incompatibility issues at this time.
Folks tend not look to their apps and services for their issues even though they're the cause of 99% of them. Instead they instantly blame the hardware for software problems.
If it makes you feel any better, I've had my 5x for 3 weeks and haven't encountered any problems. Only real disappointment for me is the speaker. But that's mainly bc I came from the M8. Nothing can really compare to boomsound. 3gb ram would be nice but its not like this phone is laggy with 2 gb or anything

I think you're right about that. I've just left it on and seems just slightly less laggy. Also, could be the updated app a week or so ago. It's not quite as smooth as I would like it but still good to know of that it can be improved.

No the issues aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I suspect if there was no Nexus 6P, people wouldn't be complaining about the 5X so much. The phone is a solid performer. I'm not sure why some are giving this device a hard time.

I have zero issues, except for the cheap back plastic picking up stains. What bad issues are you talking about?
And I agree that people who complain about lag have some app messing up their phone. I have always used System Panel Pro to diagnose stuff like that. Without it, I would have thought every phone I ever owned had problems. With it, I almost always see some app stuck in a process using up cpu and making things lag. Kill it, problem goes away.
Overall I'm pretty happy. Coming from a Nexus 5 the Nexus 5X is an improvement(although not HUGE). The only issue I could really think of is the less than impressive battery life.
So... My Nexus 5x arrived yesterday... There is a black spot in the camera I think I'm gonna have to trade it for a new one but have no idea of how international returns work xD
Wish me luck

I'm considering buying an M5. How likely it is that the phone could fail on me? (ie suffer from sudden death?) The model I'd be getting is the E5606. Is that problem model specific or a generalized problem?
Also, how good is the performance? Has its score and overall performance improved with updates? (Like the 5.1 update). Anyone with gaming experience on it (and emulators).
Would you recommend it? (anyways my other options are C5>C4>M4 (money... sigh) so this is likely my best option)
Dude, keep away from this device and save your money. I bought an X5 Compact and M5, around two months ago. X5C suddenly died after OTA update. Sony told motherboard was died and accepted my refund request for it. now, I'm waiting for the payment. M5 had a back camera focus problem and replaced a day after my purchase.. The new M5 now has front camera ticking sound problem. Sony customer care says it's pretty normal but the local Sony store staff says it's not. They also told me that some customers had got replacement for their phones for the same issue. I have compared my M5 with the demo device at the store. The demo devices does not have the same problem! I'll do whatever I can to return it back to Sony and to get a refund for it. I will never buy a Sony phone again!
I have m5 dual
It's really good ?

Thank you both, so after reading even more (found another thread kinda similar), and considering Sony's/My Company's service center is actually good/decent (My brother had a problem with an M2 and got it changed in no time, hasn't had any problem yet) I guess I'll go for it this week.

Yup. Have it since Wednesday last week (8 days so far) and I have had no problems. It's a white E5606. It really is an excellent device.
Hello everyone, i recently lost my phone and i have been doing some research into the phone i will be getting next.
I have been conidering this phone because it looks like it will satisfy almost all my needs (would like an amoled display but i can live without it)
So my question to all you nextbit robin users is: is it worth getting, what are your experiences with it, any big downsides?
i have been looking around the internet and some people said it was a bad phone.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Jim

I'm completely satisfied with it. Good specs and a good choice of ROMs to choose from.
Sent from my Robin using XDA-Developers Legacy app

The cloud only works with Nextbit OS.
It goes for $140 bucks. Can't go wrong at that price. Check it out.
I got it at 180€. It is the best phone available at that price in my opinion unless you wish to import a phone from China and deal with all the hassle.
How good is the camera?
Ok so Nextbit was recently bought by razer. my question is, Will the servers still stay up for the 100 gigs of storage? because if not i dont think ill buy it. i know they will no longer have the warrenty as of february but i really hope they will keep the servers up.
Cheers.
Jim
Edit: made saperate thread because maybe more people will notice
One of the Nextbit devs said the 100 gigs of storage servers will stay up for 1 more year (Feb 2018)
I have Robin and I also have a honor 8. I love the look and feel of the Robin and also love the dual front facing speakers. Plus Robin's OS is almost like stock Android except for the launcher which can be easily changed. The deal breaker is no SD card support I really wish they would have added a SD card support to the Robin and it would be an awesome phone. I don't want to store all my stuff in a cloud storage period. So unfortunately I will be keeping the honor 8 which has one the worst OS I've ever used. But if SD card isn't a big deal get the Robin it's a great phone. Also Robin's notification light is on the bottom next to the charge port which is kinda wired in my opinion.
I purchased this phone a few weeks ago, literally a few days before they were purchased by Razer. I was looking for a backup phone to my Nexus 6p and came across a thread where this phone was mentioned. Needless to say I've been actually using this phone more than my Nexus 6p. For $160, you really can't beat it. I don't use the cloud storage feature at all though. Main differences between 6p are: camera (6p is better but this one isn't bad), battery life (worse than 6p) , overall speed and updates. I like the unique look of the phone too.
But this phone is on par, if not better than the Nexus 5x, which I owned for a couple weeks before returning to get the 6p.
It really depends on what your expectations is for the phone. If you're coming from and iPhone, expect to be disappointed. If you're coming from a low budget phone, it will likely make you happy. The phone on its own with stock ROM performs very poorly (in my opinion as I'm a tech enthusiast, love high spec'd out Oneplus phones, so I've been spoiled). However, there is a silver lining. There is great support for custom ROMs and kernels for this phone. If you're willing to put in the time and research and work, it can easily perform on par with a $500+ phone. Just my two cents.
So i got the phone and after a week the top speaker stopped working. it sucks but i sent it back today and will be expecting a replacement soon. i really hope this one works this time.
