HTC One X now out in Australia - HTC One X

Picked up my unlocked White HTC One X here at a local phone shop in Melbourne Australia today for $668 Aust.
Loving it so far, beautiful screen and resolution and overall feel is very solid and premium.
The Sony Xperia S will be getting sold!
Ask any questions you would like to know answers to and I will do my best to respond..

Congrats mate
Only thing white specific I'm interested in is how easy cleaning the back of the phone is from hand oils, dirt, marks, etc. Someone on youtube shows a pen coming off okay, but don't worry, I won't ask you to test that
Hope the UK retailers get their act in gear and we aren't waiting till estimates like the 10th-12th for Phone.

here's a few things you can test mate, i'd appreciate the response:
- take a 720p and 1080p video and check what bitrate it's recorded at
- take some normal and HDR shots of the same thing and post them
- take a panorama (they supposedly increased the dimensions) and post it
- run a quadrant, antutu, stuff like that and post results
thanks!

Well bit early to tell yet (only 2 hours old) but the back of the phone doesn't show any finger prints etc so far and looks like it will wipe clean easily ..
Yeah I might skip writing on it yet

Seems pretty much the same sofar - is there a way to better measure this?

Currently got my eyes stuck on the HTC One X at the moment (I'm from Perth, Australia).
Would be awesome if we could get a black/grey one here in Australia, but not a BIG problem (I just dislike anything glossy, to be honest, and the rim around the grey's camera is matte).
Anyway, will see what SGS3 has to offer before I pick between that and the HTC One X.
Looking VERY promising and I'm really excited!

I too was gonna wait til the sgs3, but after the terrible ICS update for the SGS2, im going for a complete overhaul.
I've never owned an HTC phone, & never owned a white phone - so, why not.

I'm going to give it a chance anyway, since there IS a reason why the SGS2 was king of Android for quite awhile there!
And besides, I'll most likely root the phone and install a custom ROM anyway

That's cool, I'm not a fanboy for any manufacturer or device & don't disregard anyone's opinion.
but SGS2 is still Samsung's flagship device, ICS is its first update to a new android & I cannot believe how poor ICS is for this device.
The design is very poor, it feels nothing like ICS.
It's really laggy & slow compared to the excellent gingerbread rom that samsung developed.
It completely ruined my confidence in Samsung's software development team & forced me to go elsewhere - maybe in the future samsung will improve its software, but for now - i want a change.
Never owned an HTC device before, never used sense & never owned a white phone before, so this is gonna feel completely fresh & new to me - excited!
I predict the sgs3 would have the same 'feel' as SGS2 but faster with better specs, & its this feel I wanted a change from. (not because it's a bad feeling, but I certainly want to feel like I have a new phone, a new experience & new software)
Good luck with your decision making

Definitely! I'm basically just looking at what both has to offer rather than sort of risk jumping into the HTC One X pool then having to come out again when the SGS3 is significantly better.
In other words, I'm looking at which has better features for me personally, since I assume they'll both be in the same price range anyway.
Good luck with your decision making

English Live Test by mushweed

So,
i've been asked to do my Test in English too. Yesterday I did a lot in German on http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_one_x_forum/244455-htc_one_x_live_test.html
-> Now i gonna do some in English, but plz keep in mind, my English isn't that good
Cause its gonna be a "Live Test" I'll add new Videos whole day. U can always post questions and i gonna try to answer them.
Questions about battery : I cant anser them. Yesterday battery was never charged full. Today is first day with 100% battery. Due to presentation and tests, there will be no chance to evaluate a Reallife battery statement.
Let's go
HTC One X - Unboxing
HTC One X Hands On
HTC One vs Galaxy Note
reserved...
I know this has been asked a lot, but is there any chance you can confirm USB OTG host mode to connect thumb drives...the one thing that still is a bit iffy...
My cable shpuld arrive today. I gonna do an instant test !!!
black!!!! thanks man
Second video is being progressed i guess?
Glad i didn't choose the white one.
Great videos! I need mine badly!!!!!!
I think it's clear that both colours are great in their own way.
Personally I'm going for white, but wouldn't be disappointed at all with the darker version. (grey, black)
What is clear - this is a damn Sexy phone, I really want mine sent & delivered so I see it with my own eyes.
Ive:
Never owned HTC
Never used sense
Never owned a curved phone
Never owned a white phone
Never had hd phone screen
Never used beats
Never had a notification light
Never used dropbox
.... So to say this will be a new experience for me, truly is an understatement!
Big thank you to all the guys creating videos to help my impatience! - its making the waiting just a little bit more bearable.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I am happy, black is the only available version right now. Hope white will be out too.
@OP
Thanks for the videos.
Can you check the landscape rosie, Does it work alone or only with the Media link device?

Nex Video already uploading. May take some time to be displayed.
@mushweed
I also asked this in the YT comments, but could you maybe compare the resolution of a picture taken while recording and one taken while playing the same recorded video?
You say in the video the speaker is not very loud but is it louder than classic HTC phones including Sensation? How do you compare the loudspeaker to other devices?
Can you please try the screen under sunlight?
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum neuen Handy!
@mushweed : Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum neuen Handy! Thanks so very much for the insightful video's unboxing the One X, the quick review of the browser & for comparing the One X with the Gnote & the Galaxy SL-Very apt comparison indeed! In the second video, you mentioned that you were facing issues with the Wifi & you were referring to an update-is this specific to the One X or were you facing challenges with the Wifi connection @ home in general?
I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly check on the following for me:
1. What is the default mp size of the phone saved while recording video's and can one change it via settings for a 8mp shot?
2. After reading the warranty terms & conditions, what does it say about repairs/replacement of the Once X during the warranty period? Do you see anyway that the handset could be opened for repairs?? You did mention in the video there was no space between the screen and the body while describing how the screen curves over the rest of the body, so I guess the chances of repairs by opening the handset are near to none!
3.Also, can you please upload a copy of the warranty terms & conditions-I've been wanting to pre-order this device but have held back due to the unibody design & I can't help but wonder about HTC's SOP regarding repairs & replacement for the One X during warranty and the "non-repairable" post warranty dilemma to avoid owning an expensive paper weight in case the hardware does need help after the warranty is exhausted. I would be highly obliged if you could check with your local HTC Customer Service desk about the same as the tech support in my country have no clue about it yet!
4. About the scree-in your opinion, especially after playing around with the screen encased in Gorilla glass(2), do you feel the need for covering it with a screen-guard? (I 'm aware there's a separate thread on this forum raising this question but I found it apt & convenient to ask mushweed here instead, along with my other queries)
5. Can you also compare the GPS capabilities of the One X in comparison to the Gnote. Does the One X support GLONASS like the Gnote?
I'm looking forward to more video reviews from you and hope that you will also showcase the loud speaker quality of the One X & how the beats equalizer setting makes a difference to the default sound on the speaker & on the default headphones. I also await your feedback about USB OTG function, as inquired by other members and your feedback about battery life.
Vielen Danke.. Schuß!
Will answer all your qestions as soon as the OTG and HDMI Cable arrived !!
Truly excellent videos, you've done great work here.
The multitouch thing is very strange - my only guess is that the software is limiting the touch events to two. For some reason. Since three finger swipe works. Maybe BECAUSE they don't want you to accidentally launch the HD Media Link? I don't know.
Definitely curious as to what would happen in an ASOP rom...
i've got around 700+ records with mp3 and flac copies of all of them on my computer. the flac files take more than 26 GB, but i have found that i am not happy with smartphone music quality. i don't believe beats audio eq will fix that, so i'm ready to carry both a phone and music player. the only thing that will take up a lot of space on the phone for me will be 1080p videos of concerts/DJs. if i was at a 3 day festival, then it's possible i would run out of space. i can't use the dropbox feature because i have a 2 GB limit on ATT. thanks for the videos! i don't know what color i want, but i have almost 2 weeks to decide.

this isn't what you asked, but i heard a rep in a video say it was 8mp standalone and 5mp from a video.

Finally! An HTC One V owner...! And LOVING it!

Bought the baby this friday. Came in a normal box, nothing attractive. But the best part - Manufacturing date - May 2012! Been seeing all these posts about the 'machine' - heating up, patchy colored screens etc etc........Still wanted to take a chance, took it - Worth it!
Came at a price tag of 17,699 INR, with an 8GB standart microsd (sandisk) card. The phone had some 30% battery left in it, so i kept it for charging. After around 2 hours i could feel that the phone was heating up a bit. Removed the charger for like 10 mins, kept it back on, started working fine. In the past 3 days, except for like one or 2 times, never faced the heating Issue.
The OS: Ice-Cream Sandwich, Such a delight! Cant ask for more if you have an ICS tagged alonside The HTC Sense. Makes the user experience quite brilliant! The camera is another feature thats worth mentioning. 5 Mp, but the clarity/Resolution is as good as the one from an 8 Mp. Same with video recording (HD).
Battery life is excellent! Im not a heavy user; 5-6 hrs of internet a day. As of now i have 70% of battery left on my phone, and its been running for about 16 hrs! Unbelievable? Believe it!
Will run some HD games and see how the performance is affected...! Will keep you all posted.
Final verdict:
Look : 9/10
Feel : 9/10
Sensitivity : 8/10
Camera : 9/10 (For a 5 Mp Cam)
Battery : 9/10
Audio : 6.5/10 (Nothing special, even with the beats audio)
Browsing experience : 8/10
My advice? At this price, definitely go for it!!!

Welcome to the community
I got mine last week, and I must say, I think it's a great phone; although this might be because I'm coming to the One V from an Optimus One. On that regard, I sure hope the community kicks into full gear soon, haha, 'cuz when I got my O1, there was already CM7 and a bunch of other goodies that I can't live without. D:
I also own the ONE V last week. Love the appearance and simple. Only issue is when plug in the headphone I was heard some electric noise.

I've had my one V for a week and a half. It's my first smartphone, so I have no reference point, but it seems pretty good. My next one will have a bigger screen though, because so far I'm using it more like a computer than a phone.
I'm a long time linux geek, so android is right up my alley. Having lots of fun with this site so far, looks like development is just getting started for this phone, looking forward to lots of interesting stuff in the coming months.
So far I've enabled init scripts and added some of the ZV6 tweaks, got SSH going, CWM recovery, etc. Right now I'm using a build of the Titanium kernel for overclocking (running at 1.5).

How's the battery life once you overclock it compared to stock?
Looking at the performance, I wonder if the stock speed is actually underclock, that's how it gets such a good battery life, yet it's so laggy out of the box.

Is it this bad :(

Hi folks,

HTC One X - HTC's New Hero Device! Mega Information Thread
I had a HOx for a few weeks and he has valid points. I showed friends the pictures I took with the HOX and they all said my HTC Incredible S took better pictures than the HOX. It was on latest 1.29 firmware.
And not only the videos are choppy, the whole UI experience is choppy, like 20fps. It is really depressed to see that the hava a full GPU, quad core power and android 4 and STILL aren't able to manage a smooth scrollinge experience (like iphone scrolling). And I know people see this but choose to ignore it, game menus scroll smooth but the actual OS lags...
edit: I had 3 HOXes, the all act the same (hardware issues ignored)

But to sum at that huge thread, I'd say it like this;
If you get a fault-free one, it's a fantastic phone.
BUT....your chances of getting a fault-free phone are much less than they should be.
If you want to take part in the HTC One X crap-shoot, please be prepared to pursue HTC with warranty returns until they get it right. Do not unlock bootloader until you are happy with it!

Agreed I got a perfect hox and it such a good phone, it sucks that most come out doa. Take a look at the best picture you've taken you can get extremely good pictures from it, most people just point and shoot which doesn't give any camera justice.

From my experience with sgs2, we had plenty of complaints about it. but boy the complaints list on this HOX are by far more.

thx for ur reply m8, how is there batch date, or serial sequence to decide the goodness of the device? I want to check before taking it home
I didn't feel like listening to 15 minutes "whining" but compared to the sgs2 I got when it was out the hox actually already is pretty good, battery life is as good as the sgs2 after a year, no screen defects/flickering. I only have one issue though it could be considered quite a big issue and I really hope it's a software issue and it is that the sim card isn't recognised anymore and consequently the hox stops working as a phone until I reenter the pin
all in all, The HOX is bit of hit an miss. am I right ?
No, it's the best (smart)phone I ever had, I love this phone much more even than my Desire.

The One X is a fantastic device and you're MUCH more likely to get a working version than a faulty one. The only reason it LOOKS like there are loads of faulty ones is because people who have a fully functional, working device don't start threads complaining about it
There's a poll on here comparing how many people have a working one against those who have a faulty one and guess which came out on top by quite a considerable margin... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082&highlight=poll
Also, as this is a developers forum, people who have faulty devices are going to stumble across devices to try and find a fix. The problems aren't any way near as widespread as it seems.
Of course, defective devices shouldn't be reaching customers at all, but there's nothing you can do about that I'm afraid
No, its worse then that ... there are people reporting stranger lies
After optimising and disabling some apps that were sucking my battery down (which was my main gripe about this phone) I am more than happy with the HOX. The camera is sweet, games/emu's run great and the screen (even on 25% brightness) pops out. Well worth a purchase.
you can not go wrong with this phone mate. best option is to find a store close by to you which you can go and check the phone for yourself before taking it away with you. explain your fears to the sales assistant and see what they say and if they let you inspect it. but anyways if you get a perfect one you are in business and you could not ask for a better phone. i really hope development picks up more in our forums as this deserves nothing but the best.
s3 is another top handset but i feel there is more to the one x. development for the s3 will be huge. but think about this.
you are using Touchwiz and you are thinking man this is ugly. you want to change it but you get fed up with the launchers as well. you wish you could try sense but you can not as it is hard to port to a sammy phone and second no one has done that. were on the One X not only you have sense but we have now cm9 and you can use Touchwiz launcher as well. so you are getting yourself a beast of a phone mate

I think some people have good luck and some have bad. I've had mine for more than a week and it's perfect. However, I've accompanied someone to collect a replacement for a faulty unit. Guess what, went back home to charge and the red light is not showing on the replacement unit. I've also heard a lot of complaints ranging from battery not charging, unit not turning on, squeaky phone edges.
If quality control doesn't improve soon, and with all the SG3 hype, One X might find itself sliding down a slippery slope.

take me as an example I was about to buy one, but now I have to do a masters degree in understanding/avoiding the faults which can come with it

4 HTC One X'es Later

Were do I start......My first One x had dead pixels and dust under screen, 2nd big yellow blob on grey or dark screens, 3rd Vibration stopped working, dead pixels and the last one had 3 dead pixels.... The phone its self is fantastic but HTC's build quality is dire...I have lost all faith in HTC, Luckily the Carphone Warehouse managed to exchange my phone for a different model of the same spec, as I was still within 28 days and because I had had so many exchanges.
@Op
In all the 8 years I use HTC I must be very lucky once again my phone is 100% correct, no issues what so ever, I love the HTC One X.
I feel sorry for you, you have such a bad luck.
I was gonna purchase one x to replace my 4s. But not anymore.

Well, ok. A headache, for sure, but everyone who has had a defect has sent it back and got it replaced and eventually got a good one. Most people don't have problems at all. I know I don't have anything wrong with mine. Just try to buy from someone you can get it swapped out at easily so you can make sure you get a good one. The defects are annoying, but I have no doubt they will get worked out. It's all part of early adoption.
I haven't really paid attention to the defects threads, but are newer versions nearly defect free yet? Or are they just as likely to be bad?
On my 4th too, but so far (touch wood) I have a keeper I think.
1st was yellow stains on screen
2nd was unusable GPS
3rd was yellow spots (battery hitting 65C)
4th has lasted nearly two weeks so far (yay!)
It's not perfect - there is a small amount of light leakage at the bottom of the screen and GPS is not perfect, but nothing that would warrant an exchange.....yet.
Not sure if it is just the UK thats had problems, but T-Mobile confirmed when I returned my second that they had a load of returns - had to wait for stock to come back in before they could exchange.
Now I've had one though, I think I might find it hard to swap for any other phone, despite its flaws.
There will always be a sense of 'the phone it could/should have been' though - I guess they had to leave something to improve for the Two X
Only real remaining issue for me is the heat and battery life but I guess they are the sacrifices we have to make for adopting new technology.
Incredible to read, awful for you.
Touch wood indeed, hopefully it will be ok this time.
In the 8 years experience I have with HTC I never experienced such thing.
My previous devices, HTC Universal, Kaiser, Artemis, Blackstone, HD2, and now One X and no problem once again, amazing isn't?
I can't believe it, so much luck I have.
One thing you probably must admit, the service of HTC must be great if they try to fix your device 4 times in a row isn't?
And they must have done that very quick as well because the device isn't that long on the market (1, max 2 months?).
Honestly, I wish you good luck with the current device.
Edit; I see you both (Op and you) come from the UK, could it be possible HTC shipped some bad quality samples to the UK?
It's just a taught.

I had a Touch Pro 2 and then a Desire Z and had no problem with either of them, so it does seem that something went wrong with the HOX

Well actually the praise goes to T-Mobile, they are the ones who swapped without any questions - and without checking if they were rooted
The first 3 lasted about 7 days each - I got to know the delivery driver exchanging them quite well!

It's possible. It's also possible that they rushed the launch to get out ahead of the S3 and consequently cut some corners.

I think that's a tad harsh
The HOX could and should have been a stunning phone and there is still room for most of the problems to be ironed out with software updates.
I'm not sure Tegra 3 was the wisest choice though - It just seems to run too hot for its intended use in a phone - maybe we'll have to start getting used to fans in our phones!
I'd have been happier with an S4 and this screen and design (though I'd give up a few mm for a bigger battery). Seems like for once the US has the better alternative to us
Hmm.. I don't think HTC needs to push out anything to stay ahead of Samsung.
And those words are only assumptions isn't?
Fact is, in a forum there's always more negative feedback as positive, because people who are happy with the device don't have the need to talk about it.
I love the HTC One X and I don't have the experience like you have with it.

I agree with this completely.
I know more than 5 people with a HOX and none have had any problems.
My ONE X is perfect! Got it June 1st, not a problem at all. After reading all the negative comments a while back I did find myself looking for issues that I wasnt aware of but if you look so hard you will most likely find some tiny imperfection, these threads tend to make people do that.

no its evidenced, they are trying to compete directly with the market leader since the S2 took over the market.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...mobile-market-share-for-first-quarter-1078612
Which evidence you are talking about, who says they are trying to compete?
I don't read anything about HTC pushed out the One X.
Sure that other company pushed out a lot of phones I read in the article.
Aggressive commercials always work but they don't say anything for me, even if it's a market leader atm, it doesn't say anything about the product.

I don't get how some phones can get hot, mine never gets more than a bit warm even when playing tegra games.
What is different??
Me neither.
The games I play:
* Max Payne (NEW ! )
* Shadowgun THD
* Flick Golf
* Grand Theft Auto III
* Mini Motor Racing
* Sonic 4 Episode II THD
* Pinball HD for Tegra
* Air Wing Pro
* Galazer
3D very recourse hungry games if you ask me.
My device should burn playing these if I read the stories in this thread.

And about multitasking, I know it sometimes has issues but I think that's more related to the app then to the machine.
For example, I do sports.
So I listen to music, check my training sessions with Runtastic, have a bluetooth heartrate sensor connected, plus a bluetooth stereo headset, checking my Facebook etc etc, multitasking works pretty good I would say, none of the apps close.
It's incredible how much apps I have installed and still my device runs great with plenty of memory and decent battery consumption.

So you think its coincidence that HTC released an unfinished phone 2 weeks prior to the Galaxy S3 from the market leading company arriving?
Of course it was a rush job to get it out before everyone this year buys an S3, its the only way they can get some of the market share that Samsung dominate.
I disagree, it all depends what strategy you take.
For example, today we have HTC One X but who knows what will come tomorrow.
It wasn't a rush, the phone is great with just a few glitches in software, HTC will iron them out in the next update ;-)

You're an unlucky man
I've had my HOX since as long as it's been available here in NL. I've dropped it, kept it without a case in my jeans pocket and it's flawless.
I assume most of this is FUD.

Why we love the HTC One X!

As I read through the daily posts in the One X forum I'm increasingly finding more and more people needlessly moaning about all aspects off the One X and about HTC and that's fine I guess, people have issues and want to get that out in the open and get some feedback
but I think with all this negative feedback we who love our One X and HTC need to voice that and balance out the pros and cons debate!....
So this thread is for you to tell the rest of the world why you love and enjoy your One X & HTC so much!
Please don't turn this into a thread full of silly and pointless arguments
well we had threads like this
and i'm already the emabassador for the One X so i don't need to repeat myself lol
perhaps you should start
I remember the first time I saw the HTC Desire HD and I just couldn’t believe what a fantastic phone it was! everything about it was beautiful! ...and then came the One X and I new I just had to have one!!
What a phone! HTC made me feel that magic feeling all over again! It looks absolutely fantastic! the shape, the screen size, the colours, sense 4 and not forgetting it’s the worlds first HTC quad core phone! wtf QUAD CORE!?!! I went for the white version, I’ve never had a white phone before but white was created for the One X! there simply perfect together! ...these are just some of the things I like about the One X but I what do you like about it!?

this is lame..
with samsung dominating the market, their phones becoming easier and easier to root and custom rommed..
last time it used to be odin, now there's cwm touch for samsung phones and also hardware hacks that are influenced by software. even modems on samsung phones are flashable.
im giving htc one last chance, unveil a godly tegra 4 phone with superb camera (better or on par with samsung) and also NO wifi pin problems or anything similar. htc better keep their game up, or im going to jump ship too.
software problems are fine because they can be fixed. but hardware as terrible as the wifi pins problem on the hox? no.
if that happens again, i will definitely jump ship
edit : 1 week after the hox came out, the RRP for it was RM 2099. 2 weeks later, it's RM 1899. today, a 1 week old set costs a thriffling rm 1399 and a new set costs another thriffling rm 1649. the s3 stood strong at rm 1999 today and the RRP was 2199

Did you even read the topic of this thread? it's for people you like/love/enjoy there One X
One word: screen. Compared with the ridiculous pentile AMOLED s#it, the HOX's screen looks gorgeous. Sure if you have never seen it, you might think that a 4.7" 720p screen will not suffer from the pentile matrix, but when you look at them side by side, the difference is huge. And when you add the more accurate colors, the CPU which has games optimized for it, the comming of the cheap Tegra3 console which will drive more developers to optimize their games for it, the overall look and feel of the phone (I hate shiny plastic stuff) and you get a device which is truly a marvelous piece of technology.

All three issues already fixed in latest batches and software
Ill donate to have you away to the sgs3
+1
I like HTC because they are already working on jelly bean, that is the main factor of owning awesome smartphone - the updates, samsung lost this battle hard when they couldn't or didn't want to update galaxy s anymore - which is very nice powerful phone even today, probably wouldn't buy One X if they went the other way.
+2
I have not seen One X screen before i bought it, now i cant imagine more perfect screen quality, nothing can beat that.
+3
Just android and google experience, I wouldn't even look at One X if it had like windows phone rubbish, there are differences in companies strategy, Google gives me youtube, android system, mail account, search and maps FOR FREE, Microsoft is completely opposite, its not user friendly - just watch how bad METRO is for desktop and how many ppl complain - they are not listening.

Latest batches ? Am I suppose to look for serial numbers or HTC recall the messed up batches and fix them ? cause its a shame to have exchange 4 hoxes and none of them worth the money I paid for ,none of them feel like a quadcore ,all of them have had faults, repair centers a mess .......
I have had other android phones. Even though I love android over iOS, I never had a phone feel more sophisticated in hand over the iPhone. The HOX is the best phone I've ever had. It feels better in my hand over the iphone for sure! (without a case obviously)
My HOX is better than the IPhone because of the big beautiful screen! Just love playing movies, games and surfing the internet on it!
And of cause the mighty Tegra 3
To the people who are complaining: why do you keep *****ing over your stupid problems in a thread where the OP so clearly states that it is a positive thread ment for encouragement. Take your selfpity to one of the many threads that is meant for whining.

Obviously you're unhappy. Either take it up with HTC or move on. Either way I see little reason for you to keep behaving like a brat here.
I just don't get why people that are unhappy with a device and know they will never be happy with it, insist on punishing themselves instead of growing a pair and growing up.
My HTC One X rocks. I don't twist it like a frisbee so I haven't found this magical 'twisting' that some folks have whined about.
The screen is awesome. No yellow tint or dots. If I had found either I would not have bought it (Or for the slow people SEND IT BACK.)
Very snappy. I haven't rooted or flashed it, but it sounds like half the complainers may have had a bad flash or flashed the wrong version and are now pooping fireworks because they effed up their phone.
