hi, i'm now using a Cooked WinMO HTC Touch HD and very divided weather to go for HTC Desire or iPhone 4 .. Both has their Pro but i have only play with their default OS and seen video demos on their features..
1) ex-WinMO users, how do you bring all ur contacts, sms, calender over to HTC Desire ?
2) Does a Rooted HTC Desire has better multi-touch ? I seen a video comparing HTC Desire & Samsung Galaxy and HTC Desire seem to lose out ?
3) Are you able to play videos on FB on HTC Desire ? I have a crappy FB app on my WinMo which is useless.. hahaa
4) Any ex-iPhone JB users can share what's the pro & cons for both OS ?

Desire is the one
Hi,
I was / 'am' the biggest Apple fan out there, had all the iPhones and JB'ed all of them, thought what could be done on JB was brill....until I tried the Desire / Android which I bought because I was bored with the iPhone, expected to keep it a week and then fall back to the iPhone and sell the Android.
Well I ended up selling the iPhone and loving my Desire, everything you achieved by JB'ing the Apple you do out of the box with Android, then rooting it takes it to a whole new level of 'fiddling' and getting a config which you want.
Get the Desire, no question.
Thanks for all your reply..i'm inching closer to Desire soon ...
Just one last qns .. comparing the apps (not including games) is Desire able to match iPhone ones ?
currently on my mind i can think i need is audio translator..
I moved from WinMo (HTC Touch Pro) to a Desire. I was worried I would miss some of the WinMo functions but i dont !
Contacts copied straight across from PC using HTC Sync provided. I did miss the syncing with Outlook until i figured I could autoforward my account to a googlemail account and get the best of both worlds.
video is poor out of the box on the Desire but a quick download of Rockplayer brings it back up to (and beyond) WinMo video.
Games are much better for Android than WinMo (although maybe not yet on a par with iPhone for sheer volume of games - but how many games do you really need ??)
MS Office also worried me moving from WinMo but there are plenty of apps out there to sort you out.
All the stuff that you relied on chefs doing for you on WinMo you can do on Android just by downloading apps from the Marketplace.
Go for the Desire. I was dubious but Im now a committed Android groupie
I have an iPhone 4 (personal) and the Desire (work). If you are a casual user I would say go with the iPhone. If Facebook is a big concern I can say with confidence that the iPhone app is better.
IPhone 4 pros:
Amazing screen
Better keyboard (comparing to stock HTC sense keyboard)
Easier to use for the average user
Better battery life
Better multi-tasking (for the average user)
Desire pros:
More customization options out of the box
Better Google maps app
Better goggle integration (which I love)
I know some will disagree with me, but that is how I feel. I love both phones, and they both appeal to different parts of my personality. I think if you are not much of a tweaker then you are better off with the iPhone. Hope this helps.

I too am curious to your thinking. One thing I noticed from my friends iPhone is that when he brings up the multitasking thing at the bottom he can scroll through everything that's running as opposed to the 8 latest apps that the android shows. But I've never actually found it to be an issue personally.
Also in relation to the OT, I have never owned a iPhone (only my currently rooted Desire) but my friend who used to have a 3G and recently chose the iPhone4 over other choices says that while he is happy with how the iPhone runs, he does kind of wish he could customise it like I can with my Desire.

WTF, the Desire does have multi touch, you must be confusing it with Xperia X10 which has dual touch instead of multi touch as sony didn't want the possibility of being sued be Apple.
It should be noted though that Apple didn't invent multi touch.
I was using Touch Diamond with custom ROM for two years, Few weeks ago I switched to android (have choosen DESIRE).
I could not made a better choice. Not yet brave enough to ROOT it )))).
Really the phone is excelent, speed and UI is great, customization possibilities are as good as I was used with WM.
Flash is also working without any problems, so is multi-touch. Even iPhone 3GS users were impressed ))))).

It is a well known fact that the Desire, unfortunatelly, doesnt have proper multi-touch. It has a somewhat refined dual-touch ability, but in games, it has some issues here and there. You can see it downloading a simple app from the market for touch testing. Thats the only thing im somewhat jealous of the other multi-touch phones (galaxy s, iphail).
But the only thing im jealous the most about the iphone is its scratch resistant screen.. that makes me cry every time i realize that our screens are made from glass only.. :/

Let me preface this with the fact that I am running both of these devices in parallel right now. Also, I have 5 of the desires in production in our corporate network (which I am in charge of troubleshooting)
As of yet, the Android doesn't have a way of naitvely handling the problem of multitasking for the average jo-blo. "dl this app, then every now and then check to see if apps are open, otherwise your battery will drain" Is what I find myself telling users.
This is not that case with the iPhone. Multitasking battery savings is done automatically for the average user.
I know that most people reading this are power users, so closing out of tasks is no big deal, however, this is an enormous task for the average user, and I really feel that Apple has done an awesome job with the whole multitasking idea, and have made it very easy for the average end user to use the phone.

Hi,
I disagree! I do absolutely nothing to "manage" multi-tasking on my phone and suffer no problems with battery.
In contrast, the vast majority of iPhone apps don't multi-task at all anyway, so I can't see how it can be better.
Regards,
Dave

The iPhone's method of showing what apps are running is nicer and it is a pain to have to download an app just to see what is running on your phone. But on the Desire you don't actually have to go closing everything. Apps running in the background do not drain battery while sitting idle. Using apps like Advanced Task Killer should really only be used to close problem apps, not to constantly shutdown everything that is running.

As of 2.2 we have a "sort-a" built in task killer so no need for 3rd party stuff... as for your other claim, indeed the apps dont drain battery at all (well..not as much..) so i really dont get it when people say that background apps drain battery and what else.. i dont have any battery drainage whatsoever, and if i dont use wifi at all, my battery can last 2 days easily...

I've watched and read many reviews of the One X including the phonearena one, and while I disagree with the total score they gave to the One X (7.5/10 I think which is ridiculous, it's better than that) i did see some lag and stutter here and there so let me explain. According to the vids, sense restarts from time to time which is very annoying on a phone with monster specs as this One. Also the browser looks inconsistent as HELL!!! I mean you double tap to zoom in an area and it shows you another part of the page. Pinch to zoom doesm seem very fluid at first but once you keep doing it its like butter but still. Again on the browser, when you scroll up and down sometimes you get this menu at the bottom page that appears and that also look annoying. I hope you can download the stock ICS browser from google play but these things shouldn't happen. I personally don't have the phone yet so I still have to check for myself but from what I saw I am very unimpressed by the browser. Don't mean to troll or whatever you called it

I use to be a huge HTC fan till the GS and GS2 but I did own the sensation in between those releases but I usually buy an HTC and wait for CM to come out for the device to fix a lot of the junk HTC does in their devices. So what i'm saying is that if it isn't a HW issue i wouldn't worry about it not being fixed some how.
Just a thought.

You've got a point
So I am unsure how this all works but I was able to use Sense 4.0 on an HTC Sensation recently and it seemed to me that the browser used for Sense 4.0 is exactly the same as the Android Browser on ICS. I felt like it was snappy and responsive. Definitely impressed me
You are not alone. The browser on the one x is a mess. Unresponsive scrolling, unpredictable menu popping out at random, slow choppy zooming, funky text reflow, terrible memory management. Switching to another app or even the homescreen and back causes browser to quit and all the tabs to reload. Multitasking is non existent despite being the latest quadcore. Hate to say it but my old nexus one with a measely 512 ram and and primitive single core cpu provides better browsing and multitasks better.
Anyone tried Dolphin with OneX?
Found it pretty awesome on my Desire, but not seeing much mention of it being used with this device...
This really makes me laugh.... the phone is NOT officially released until Thursday, yet ppl are complaining about software bugs
OTA's
Custom Roms
Custom Kernals
Custom Radios
Just think of the HTC One X as a nice cold pint of Guinness - "Good things come to those who wait"
Or at least wait till Thursday

I'm sorry but that is simply not true at all. The Gnexus browser is nearly perfect. Double tap zoom is very good so is pinch to zoom. I'm guessing downloading the ICS stock browser from google play might help. The one x browser is all over the place.
Just sayin', Phone Arena is really weird with their reviews.
Lumia 900, Windows Phone 7.5, get's a 8.
Infinitely superior One X gets a 7.8 just because it has a bulky soft keyboard(easily replaced), a clunky browser(easily replaced), etc.

Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!
I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!
short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes
The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had

I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.
Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops
Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.
My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now
I recommend it.

Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.
YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super
As a sensation Owner, I'm planning to upgrade to An HTC One X but does the browser really suck? After watching this video, I'm kinda concerned how HTC failed to optimize the Tegra 3's power. 90% of the time I use my smartphone's browser, so I'm really concerned whether I should upgrade to the One X or not. Phonearena also said on their review that the browser felt choppy and buggy.
Please don't flame or trashtalk me, I am asking a legitimate question

The browser is the best I've used....period!
The guy in the video is a tool, you can't test this browser just by zooming in & out, as this particular browser will give a quick flash of the screen as it wraps all the text to fit the screen.
... He did the initial smooth zooming & then tried to zoom out/in while the browser was trying to wrap the text, this is why it went all choppy.
It's smooth,
Zooming in & out is smooth
The flash of the screen is quick, & the text wrap is something ALL mobile browsers should have. (now I have an HOX, I'm glad not all others do this)

yep. I like the stock browser's look hehe and I have bad experiences with the dolphin browser.
Will buy it and test the phone. I hope I won't get annoyed with that aggressive text reflow.
I actually like the stock browser over chrome beta. It is much smoother and I think that if you turn off the three-finger swipe thing from screen settings it gets better. Haven't tried it with that option since I turned it off right when I got the phone.

I tend to disagree. Only year and a half is passed after HOX release and less than a year of hox+ release. It's not right to not update the previous generation. Atleast 2 years is a must. We can bash samsung all that we want, but they support their top models far better than htc, sadly as htc is far better phone builder. I hope when lenovo buy htc there will be new "hardcore boner" phones. Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

I don't get it, if you want to be 'up to date' you should buy a new phone every two years. I think HTC did an amazing job with 4.2.2 sense 5. I do not expect more of them. It's not all about you and me in this world. I rather like HTC to work on new stuff then giving ten years of support to 'old' devices.
And be honest, this latest update with the hardware of the one x will run for a long time, it's not that our device becomes useless because of no updates.

I will just say that if you bought a hox+ (released november 2012) you would need to buy a new phone in less then a year if you wanted to be on the latest... btw latest for htc and sammy means one version behind
In the case of the hox... They supported it for a year and a half.
our devices were never on the latest android version. I dont call it an update if you are one or two versions behind. Sammy is the same but i hate them even more for that because they have the resources to update it in a reasonable timeframe. But they dont.

it's really disappointing
I don't care that much about Sense 5.5 , because most of the features that are in it, we already have with Sense 5.0 for our One X (except for the camera features, we'll never get those). But I do care about the 4.3 update and I hope we get it. According to previous leek - we will get 4.3 with Sense 5.0.
I think this is the end for the hox and the hox+. Because if they make the effort to update it to 4.3 sense 5.5 would come with it. Thats my thinking

If you want latest updates buy a Nexus device. If you want sense you know you won't get updates after 1 or 1,5 year. It's nothing new. You knew it the moment you bought the One X.

Well, if you guys actually read the changelog, 70% of the Sense 5.5 features are basically our own Sense 5.0 features. The reason for this is that most One's in the US were stuck on 4.1.2 while we were getting our 4.2.2 update. So to avoid wasting time, HTC announced they'd skip 4.2.2 for the One and jump straight to 4.3. So most of the things in 4.3 Sense 5.5 is basically from out own Sense 5.0, it's just finally making it to devices which were deprived from 4.2.2 unlike us.
As for 4.3 for the One X, I really don't mind if we don't get it. I like Sense 5. I'm not the kinda guy who NEEDS the bleeding edge of OS updates. I'm just the average Joe who just needs something nice to use. 4.2.2 is good one the One X and I don't mind it staying on it till I replace it in the future. Even if I get tired, there's always aftermarket ROMs so the options are not limited. I know I can't speak for everyone because I have a Nexus 7 which is always up-to-date but believe me when I say there are more days then not when I actually prefer using my 4.2.2 Sense 5 over the 4.3 in my N7
All I can say is just enjoy your phones. Compared to TW updates or Sony updates which sometimes f*ck your old devices up, HTC actually didn't with our update besides, what's in 4.3 that we NEED that badly in our phones ? The only thing I see actually worth the update is Bluetooth 4.0 support and even that's not really for me but more for the One X owners who threw a hissy fit about Sense not supporting it and felt scammed.
If I'm honest I'm perfectly happy with my hox. It's not been the flagship for a good while but update still happened and many facets from future updates will likely be brought to hox on xda once enough time passes and people feel like it.
Don't expect but couldn't ask for more
Well, if samsung S3 will get it (same specifics) like HOX why we do not get 4.3?
BUT if they dont care for costumers we have our way to punish bad costumer care brands.

Well... The only thing that I really want from sense 5.5 is the RSS support for blinkfeed - it will make it alot more usable for me, right now I dont use it because feedly is much better for my RSS subscriptions. Furthermore, the only thing that I want from 4.3 is the trim feature, but I have root and I use the trim app..so maybe it's not a must.
Anyway next phone for me is nexus, even though sense is just better than any other UI in the market IMHO.
