My latest Gadget - One X - ask me anything you like to Know - HTC One X

Hi All,
Lucky enough to get the One X before the official release date (2-Apr) everyone is talking about.
Always wanted to own a phone which is the last thread in XDA but always my local shops get them little late but luckily this time they got it before everyone and i am the first person to buy
My Impressions:
Build quality is very nice (compared to my white Xperia S and Galaxy Nexus)
No heat until now (using since 3 hours)
System is fast enough to prove that it has 4 main cores and 1 companion core
Continuous camera shots function is too good and works really well
Features on My X
- grey camera ring
- no beats headphones
Any questions? will try to answer as many as possible with the knowledge i have
Signal strength - signal strength is little weaker than my wife's galaxy note on the same network

X v Note
Hi,
I notice that you have the Galaxy Note, which for me is the best phone that I have seen. How would you compare the One X with the note. Very keen about the screen in particular. Also is the size difference between the screens noticeable I am a huge fan of big phones.
I look forward to your answer

Hi, can your compare 3g signal strength with other phone? And audio from speaker

Feel free to answer the questions from the previous thread

I notice you said no Beats headphones, any headphones at all or just the phone, charger, etc?

I have 2 questions, how does the One X compare to the Galaxy Nexus in terms of pixels/clarity and blacks (if possible could you take a comparison photo) and also how is the gaming experience on the One X so far?
Would really appreciate if you could answer these

Hello, congratulations on getting the phone so soon, I am very jealous right now!
Questions then ( I imagine most want to know these)
1) What is the speaker quality like (Playing music and in calls)
2) Are the earphones any good despite not being "Beats"?
3) Compared to your old phone, whats the screen like?
finally
4) Whats the call quality like?

Ahhh the grey camera ring looks fine on retail build. Now... stay with grey or go white. Think I'll stick with grey.
Congrats on getting your phone
Can you test the loudspeaker with music?

How's the glossy edges?

Speaker loudness and pics from camera please?

How's the battery life so far? Just based on what you've observed in the three hours, I know you can't be very accurate at the given time. Thanks

compared to nexus pixel density seems very high but black levels are low which is expected due to LCD on one X and Amoled on Nexus

Ahhh that's what's meant by two colours of grey...
Dialaphone just calls it "Black".
Seems strange to me that HTC would offer two slightly different darker versions. From all press releases it seemed like there would be white, and there would be grey.
The OP's phone definitely looks gun metal gray, it quite closely mimics the MGS4 LE PS3 IIRC, which was gun metal.

HTC One X - AMAZING phone

Was lucky enough to have a go with a One X at an HTC event on Friday and it's just as good as you'd expect it.
It's super light, screen is amazing and clear (perhaps not as bright as the AMOLED on the One S, mind). Sense 4 runs with NO issues at all, and the new camera features are spot on.
If you're due an upgrade then definitely see if you can have a go with one before hand - you won't be disappointed!

can you tell us how it felt in hand, did you miss the metal construction?
Congratulations! How about battery life and video quality?
Felt nice and smooth, light as hell (think Samsung lightness). Didn't miss the metal at all, the polycarbonate was lush
Think the One S was lighter though, but then again it is smaller
Battery life, can't comment as I don't have one and the demo unit wasn't running on a mobile network (no SIM card in it) but seemed to handle most things without any issues. Video seemed OK, wasn't something I particularly looked at, but it's nice to be able to take stills whilst still recording the video
How did it compare to the two phones in your signature? Did it convince you to purchase one?
Was the product still a beta / pre-production model or was it now the final release version?
Did you see a white and grey version of the one X any opinion on the looks? How about how it felt in hand with the matt back and the gloss sides?
7 days and counting...
Thanks for the infos!
Did you felt any overheating after using it?
your comments remind me of the Sensation XL
on paper its not so convincing but everyone who lays his hands on it falls in love
1. Heat up? Hell no!
2. Final release - non-beta units
3. White only
4. I only had my Sensation with me when I went but I'd buy the One S or the One X as a replacement. As a replacement to my Nexus, I'd get either as well. The One S is awesome, the AMOLED screen pops as you'd expect and it's SUPER light weight but I'd have to go for the One X
Seriously considering getting a One X
excellent, can't wait for this Titan!
OMG cant wait!!
Did you take any pictures? how was picture quality?
Didn't take any pictures of the units, no - didn't see the point as there are loads online already - but picture quality on the phone seems to be good. I don't use my phone for pictures so wasn't something I was particularly bothered about looking at
Eddy, what was the screen like in daylight/sunlight?
This old Desire is ready for an upgrade
Dunno, it was indoors on Friday evening (8pm) so no day light to speak of!

How warm is your warm display? (colour)

Just got a One X and thankfully all the reported 'defects' don't seem to be there. However the screen colours are far too warm. The biggest problem is with flesh tones looking very reddish. Its best illustrated by taking a picture of my hand with the camera, which shows up very red indeed. However if I import the picture to my PC its acceptable. My screen is Acer which supposedly runs colder than Sharp and Sony, but thats not my case.
Should I exchange my unit? I have 48hours to return the phone with no questions asked. Its perfect otherwise and I heard that the warmness disappears over time. If true, how long does it take for the warmness to normalize. Also is there a software available now or in the near future that would solve this (rom, mod, etc.)?
PS> I'm still on 1.28.415.9 because I haven't received an update yet.
I just tried using "Screen Adjuster" from the Play Store, but the results were horrible. I really need to know whether the warmness subsides overtime because otherwise I have a perfect unit and don't wanna gamble it away for a creaky, ripply, dead pixel unit.
I passed by the store and compared my phone to the two display models and a sealed unit. All three had the excessive red hue warm colors as mine. When I say excessive I mean very excessive. Its best viewed with the Mirror application. It almost makes me look like I'm fluorescent pink Almost the color of this icon.
Someone please chime in. How red do you look in the Mirror app?
I'm begging here, someone please acknowledge my existence and answer my simple question. Does the Mirror app make you look red/pink like your are badly sunburned?

Thanks so much for answering me. Vascularised is a great way of putting it. I can almost see the blood flowing through my capillaries. I hope this is just a software issue. Outside in daylight its much much better.
HTC should have added a light in front panel.
And after "vascularised" it has a litlle "drunk" effect.
After ZombieBooth, HTC just invented DrunkBooth ...
I tested the front camera some more using Skype. It seems that there are two reasons for the red hue. The camera software is messed up, and so is the screen itself. When using Skype the image from the front camera looks very red on the phone, but it doesn't look as bad on the PC (although still red). This leads me to believe that the camera software is not calibrated, and the screen further compounds the problem. I'm hoping 1.29 update will help a bit.
I just ordered this phone as lost my optimistic 3d. If this is a problem with all sets I can't understand its not mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen. Hopefully means forward is a bit messed up

Well as far as I'm concerned I have not seen, or heard of, any One X unit that doesn't have this problem. So far I have personally examined 6 phones that have this problem (all worse than my phone). Also three XDA users have also confirmed this (one on this thread and two in other threads). I have yet to see or hear that a One X exists out there which does not have an extremely red hued front camera.
Until someone confirms otherwise, it seems to me to affect ALL One X's.
In camera settings, put the saturation to -1, this looks far more realistic. However, I don't know if it looks the same on another device as is does for me. For all I know, it could be making my hand white for the pc.

Thanks that helps a bit. I'm sure HTC will have to fix up the camera software in an upcoming update because this is just unacceptable.

LG I want my yellow back

So, I love everything about this G Pro except one thing it was bought for. The display of it is a disaster. I mean it's the worst LG smartphones' display in some years. I prefer to use indoors @ 60% brightness with autobrightness on and in this setting everything looks so dim, grey and almost unseen-able. Especially yellows, I mean there's almost no yellow colors @ all even at 100% brightness, but at 60% it's even worse. And to not be a windbag I've snapped some comparison photos of G Pro next to another LG smartphone, which has, IMO, the best screen ever. When you hold them both in hands its no question which one you'll keep to yourself being forced to choose
So if LG will continue to mistakenly set their display's color temperature to 10000K, I confess my next phone would be HTC or even Motorola. I don't want to see ppl faces of corpse skin colors, and green everywhere where yellow supposed to be

Your comparison phone is over-saturated and blown out. I am looking at the images on an very expensive and calibrated IPS at work. Neither phone has it right, but the G Pro is closer in comparison. The G Pro certainly is cooler in color causing the yellow to become green-ish. But comparing an almost green image looking for yellow is silly. It won't make people look like corpses... you can test that too, with pictures of people... odd you didn't include that in your image set.
Edit:
Wait, hold the phone, there is one person in your test, and they don't like like a corpse... imagine that.
Edit 2:
Wow, if you really can't see that the G Pro looks better, you need to have your eyes checked.
Can you really not see how **** the other devices screen looks?
What ever you used to take the pictures is very grainy too... just fyi.
Is that a nexus 4?

You don't see my point or don't want to. Look on your expensive IPS at this image http://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=5403393757_b5b17ea28d_o.jpg You see? There's tons of colors in it. Then transfer it to your G Pro and open, it made all color turned into shades of blue. It's intolerable. Well, Nitro also make this image bluish, sort of, but in way no as blue as G Pro
Nitro has its fallacies, of course, it can't show every possible color in the Universe, as I remember it covers 87% or 97% of sRGB when G Pro covers 99% sRGB. But Nitro has col.temp set around 6800K and all images looks true to life. I haven's seen one person who was dissatisfied with that screen, even photographers. And G Pro has around 9000K, it's way too much, the white percepted as grey, yellow almost gone and turned green, oranges turn into cherries and etc

No, even there it has slight green tint, and white below is blueish, you must have good IPS monitor or mobile display at hand to compare. When you compare the difference is stunning and eye-popping.
Also, in original post the second picture is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester showing yellow on both devices and in archive all other main colors like white, red, blue. My concern is yellow and white because the white is what you looking at most of the time

No, I don't think so. Every other youtube review unit had the same cucumber-blueish tint on white background, EVERY. So it's LGs settings that are faulty.
Do you have any spare phone at hand? Like HTC One? It almost perfectly calibrated. Go to some place, put the same white or yellow wallpapers on both devices and compare which unit will be more eyepleasing and easier to look at. I'm sure the other phone than G Pro will be
We're waiting for anandtech review, pity that he doesn't even look at G Pro, it even prefer noname Oppo Find5, it means bad for LG, it's bad marketing that even anandtech doesn't review their phones

I have yet to find a single review that had anything negative to say about the display on the Pro. The worst comment is that it's almost as good as S4/One. I even saw the color accuracy praised in a review. I don't doubt there are likely exceptions, but not in the ~10 reviews I browsed through.
My co-worker has an HTC One and while due to size his screen looks crisper, the Pro looks damn good otherwise.

"The screen is very nice." First sentence in what you quoted. Not a single one of the reviews mentioned an issue with the color balance. I personally do not see an issue with the color balance. A number of other people in this thread don't see an issue with the color balance. I definitely saw an issue between the two in the picture, but my phone doesn't look like that and from the sounds of it.. neither do most of the other people's. So, if everyone else is telling you it's your phone...

Why are you so effing worked up over this? It's not nearly how you describe. Almost everything you have pointed out is either slanted/strategically chosen quotes from actually solid reviews or pure hyperbole.
Just sell the flippin thing and move on, your exaggerated criticisms are going to scare off developers that we desperately need.

I've also got this problem, it might not be that easy to see on the picture I've attached, but you can at least see that the colors are not the same. I've also tested the screen with an app called Screen test, and it seems to completely fail the Checker board test under Resolution and Horizontal resolution (1 pixel) makes the display flicker.

Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's due to the HTC Color Enhancement, or if the screen is bad. The stores says it's just a different color temperature on the screen.
The the light in the proximity sensors are IR captured by the camera, so I can't see it (except through another camera ofc)

[Q] Would you recommend the G3?

I'm almost about to jump the gun on this phone (reviews seems alright) but I've seen mixed opinions so I wanted to ask some personal opinions from the owners of the phone? What do you love / hate?

It's an awesome phone, a lot of things are rad so the list would be huge Screen, size, power, speed.... Inn depth on each, It's all really really good.
Con list is shorter:
Battery can sometimes die before the day is out if you have bad signal or heavy use. (Screen off/deep sleep can last about 8 hours before you drop a percentage though)
Can get seriously hot around the button area on the back during heavy use (Gaming) or on a hot day while using it.
Camera isn't the best, there's a lot of noise if the light isn't quite right.
What other phones are you considering??
I have it for 7 days and I would definitely recommend it. But in white color, it is beautiful. Design is amazing, battery very good, camera outstanding.
Only thing I do not like are little lags, only with notification menu, but it can be fixed with some debloating. I do not like position of charging and audio port, but it is not a big issue. One more disadvantage is locked bootloader, but again this will be probably exploited, time is needed.
This is amazing and very fast phone, and I think you'll be amazed.

if you don't mind about locked bootloader then g3 is finest choice.
Hate:
- Overheating
- Oversharpening (halo effect) - please check if its fine for you
- Visible digitzer
- Yellow tone of display (if you don't have comparison it isnt that bad)
Love:
- Looks
- Camera
I came from G2, but I might go back. I hate halo effect. It drives me crazy. What's the point of QHD if its looks simply worse than Full HD because of effects that manufacturer put.
I strongly recommend this phone. The sharpening effect doesn't bother me and my phone very rarely, if ever, overheats (after some debloating and greenifying). There are a few stutters here and there but nothing major as the pros totally outweigh the cons.
The cameras are great and the design of the phone is stunning.

What do you mean by "bad signal" ?
I was considering maybe Note 3 or waiting for the Note 4 because my previous phone was a Note 2 but considering I never used the pen functionality, was considering G3 / HTC's.
Also thanks for all of you guys that have replied so far I think I will be pressing that purchase button

awesome. just wondering what color do you have? I'm torn between the black and white version :S
signal reception is not always the best. in some areas worser or no 3g reception. g2 and nexus 4 have better reception!
I have the charcoal color.I guess it is supposed to be black but it is more like a very dark silver. Looks cool.
I love the phone. The only con for me was the lg and tkobile bloatware. I got a T-Mobile with the unlocked boot loader so I rooted and disabled all that crap.
I'm using the Google keyboard and Nova launcher and this phone is the fastest ever used. Very smooth and responsive.
Battery life is amazing.
I upgraded from the Nexus 4 which I've loved but this one is awesome. I checked out the m8 and the Samsungs for about an hour in the store and chose the lg g3.
Great phone!

Shouldn't be a problem for me as I'll be in the city most of the times I'm using the phone!
Thanks for the input
If you don't care about lags then buy it. But before this try to play with both g2 and g3. Then I'm sure you never go for g3.
Great phone with good reception here. Clear calls always.
Camera is fantastic.
GPS and navigation is the fastest and most accurate on a phone I've EVER owned.
Came from a Xperia Z. No comparison and chose over HTC m8 and gs5.

Got mine yesterday, looked at the M8 and was like... meh, looked at the G3 and instantly loved the interface, looks, style etc.
Defo recommend it!

Haha I had this dilemma too. Ended up with black, my mum, brother and mate said white looked a little feminine. Still think white looks sick though. But the black is pretty sexy

yea I'll be ordering my black G3 tomorrow! I felt like the white paint might scratch off easily so I decided to go with the black one. Looks pretty neato
I do recommend and I did to my girlfriend who jumped the sinking ship known as SS Apple and she loves her G3, minus little quirks.
