Currently I own an HTC ONE S. I love the way it looks and feels in the hand, the screen and battery life is decent and when its working correctly its lovely and fast.
BUT
I hate the chipping issues and there is no official word on a solution for the black version. The Internet and signal is sporadic at best jumping from 3G to HSDP+ and often not working at all i'm also getting soft resets when browsing the internet. I also hate that it can't play 720p youtube smoothly.
I'm thinking of complaining to 3mobile and upping my tariff and swapping for a HTC One X (international with Tegra 3).
I'll get used to the size and the added bonus of extra storage will be nice. The battery concerns me a little. In work I always have access to a charger so thats ok. But at weekends when i'm out and about just using the phone for the occasional call and text and nothing else am I likely to notice a huge difference between the S and the X?
Would you make the change if you were having the same issues as me? I've had two ONE S's both with the same problems so its not just my phone.
There have been no updates for the S whereas there have been at least 2 for the X. Also the ROM scene on the S isn't great with not many releases and I was hoping to learn how to do that and have some fun tinkering.
What would you do?
Thanks for any help in advance.
If I were you I'd go ahead and get the One X because you seem to want more power to play 720p smoothly without LTE and after reading the Battery Stats thread (which includes the One X international version), I came to a conclusion that the One X has pretty decent battery life. Though I'm already biased because I literally can't sleep at night because I'm thinking about this phone, I would still recommend it over the One S also because of screen size and quality. But before you pull the trigger and get the One X, you should ask around the forums and see if anyone else is using the unlocked international version of the One X on T-Mobile and if they're experiencing similar issues.
they said they changed the process of the one s, so idk exchange it for the one s, if it doesnt work go to the one s!!!!
but i think your meant to post this in the international one x section??? yes no idk
Wrong forum, this is the S4 One X(L) section.
That being said, the S4 version is still a fantastic device.

you're right... I think it should be under the international One X forum.
Yeah you're probably right actually.
Apologize. Could an admin move it for me?
current One X owner, it eats h264 for breakfast and plays 1080p videos flawaless im surprised the One S can't play 720p, tegra games and the SLCD2 screen have to be seen to be believed
however we have serious list of random build quality defects right and there is a high chance you might get a defected unit, i made a poll and 28% out of 600 voters had a defected unit
im switched two phones so far each with their own set of build niggles, these devices are fresh out of the oven and HTC is yet to nail the production process

My advice: get rid of them and move on. Why stick w something that gives you so much distress and then feel unhappy?
That being said, if I were to get any of them, I'd stick around since they are such nice phones and I cant imagine me using Android on any other brand Sam*cough*sung*cough.
But again: it's just a phone. Dont like it dont use it.

Please don't be misleading when it comes to defective numbers, its natural that when people have defects they come search on a forum like this and when nothing is wrong they don't.
Also after years of reading these forums its clear that out of the thousands there is always a few ocd who nit pick at things that the general public would never even notice as build defects.
My One X is fine btw It's the longest I have ever gone without rooting and installing custom rom, I think because I really enjoy the stock speeds and sense UI re design ^.^

i opened more One X than you can ever dream of, i crossed 15 One X so far
latest issue? dust under the screen in three at least
you are the one being misleading and fooling yourself and yes we have one perfect flawless one x and its really a piss off when it so hard to find one like it
One x is brilliant if you get a good one, but it is a lottery. Who did you replace the phone with for 15 times

Dust would drive me insane! The chipping issue on the ONE S is not good at all.
The phone plays 720p fine in a dedicated media player but it does not like 720p in youtube in the browser.
I do like my ONE S just wish it would work properly (internet and MAO coating).

The Previous poster is right, It's you who is being misleading.
I believe the defective unit rate would be more like >10% (Still bad), Remember people like to complain more than they like to praise, hence why you'd see a disproportionate amount of negative results.
also, I find it hard to believe you're on your 15th one X?!
Why not Give up at your 3rd?

Not to say that dust under the screen isn't a defect, and it would definitely drive me crazy, but I would be surprised if my girlfriend would notice any of the build defects that people return one x's for.

I actually don't what to thank your post but the app I'm using is to damn sensitive. Sorry.
Whoa, thanks revoked! That's pretty harsh, lol!!
I'm with basil3...to any of us here, the most minute little inconsistency will drive us mad and we will post and ***** and moan about it all day long, but to most people, such things don't even compute. It's the same reason "most people" buy iPhones...they just don't know any better and any old POS will do.
Fwiw, I also have a perfect OneX. Still stock and brilliant in every way. I also find it difficult to believe someone would keep going back to something that they found defective fifteen times...
get the XL if you are on tmobile..if you buy the international version you will be stuck with edge unless you live in an area that tmo has refarmed their 1900 spectrum to handle 3G (which I doubt it)

i didnt give up because i want a perfect one so badly! if thats not clear enough!
i bet your screen have so sort of defect and u didnt even bother looking

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.
shame on htc to do this
I am not going to give up, i might wait for htc to push new batch before I buy one, may be next month

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
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.

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)

it feels better over SGS3 .
I just love HOX .
Hey guys I'm from the Xperia X8 forums (yeah, reeeeeaaallly long way from home). I'm getting a One X in less than 2 weeks and I was wondering if you guys can tell me if this phone is worth it ? I actually like this phone more than the S3, which I've been told by many to get over the One X. So I was wondering, could you guys tell me if it's worth getting, what are the pros and cons and do you regret getting it and if you do, what would be a better alternative ? I have read and read TONS of reviews online and all I can say is that the reviews are mixed, but quite positive. Besides, if it's one thing i trust its the opinions and advice of XDA Members Hope to hear some good news

I dont regret buying the hox, it has a strong shell which in fact still looks like new in my case. It is very fast, especially with custom roms! If you had to pay the extra money for the s3, i would ast it I'd not worth it. (in The Netherlands the s3 is more expensive) With the ongoing rom support, and the development of better and faster roms every week! there is a lot of fun flashing to come! I especially look out for the finished versions of Cyanogenmod 10/ Jellybean roms!
Hope this helps a little bit..
Thanks for that what I'm worried tho is about the many reports of faulty One X's which go bust within a week of use
I had an xperia x8 before the hox and my god how did I live with such a tiny screen lol, I do miss the 4 - 5 battery life

This phone is definitely worth it, speaking from a person who.upgraded their gs2 after about 3 months usage I won't be upgrading this for a long time. My brother owns a gs3 and there isn't much difference even in battery life. You can't go wrong with whichever one you buy.

Depending on when you need your new phone, you could wait for the One X+. However, both the S3 and One X are great devices, I just prefer the build quality, design and screen (especially in the sun!) of the One X.

So your saying that batter life is the same? funny because i see s3 users always end up here boosting how they can easily get 5 + hours batter life ect. ect.
As a HOX owner, I'll tell you that the One X isn't worth it. Don't get me wrong, it's the prettiest phone available right now. But as someone with a membership here, you have to know that the device support is crappy as well as, at least in my case, the device itself. How many phones on here have a bugs poll at launch[1]? Now here's the thing though, while I think there's a bunch of faults with the HOX, I can't actually recommend an alternative. All I can say is that the phone will give you headaches as it has a ton of issues and a minimal amount of devs.

Remember a much higher number of people complain than praise, that poll is not at all fair it's just a small poll on a small number of XDA members.
In the real world, there are more perfect than defect devices, I myself got a HOX 2 days after release and it is perfect no issues at all.
the only issues and headaches i have had are ones i have caused myself.
and it's not the number of devs that is important but the quality of work they do.
One X is excellent piece of kit but like anything else everything comes with an issue. Early fails should now be rectified in newer batches. But if I was you I'd wait for the One X+ only around the corner. Possibly 64gb, LTE, slightly faster whilst keeping the best of the One X. Only if price isn't an issue it should make the current One X cheaper.

You're right in that the quality of the devs is more important than the number, after all, my previous phone was a HTC Incredible S, we basically had one CM dev, but that dev kept the device super stable, even in terms of nightlies. However when CM9 and now CM10 have come out, it's an almost forgotten device. You also look at the HOX with CM9, Interepresentation started but never finished. Look at TGasgoine's AOSP, started but on a break. These things matter when it comes to maintaining a device, there needs to be enough of a developer ecosystem to see others pick up the work. It especially matters with our device being a Tegra 3 as so much of the work is fresh ground.
You're also right that more people complain, however that doesn't negate the complaints. It seems to be a lottery over getting a good device. Hilarious since HTC are being so staunch about repairing/replacing locked bootloaders.
Oh and it should also be mentioned that there's no S-OFF for this device, even on the horizon and the only bootloader unlocker available is via the official HTCDEV.com and it's important to remember that htcdev only partially unlocks the bootloader. So things like overclocking and undervolting aren't possible right now.

Sorry but you can already undervolt if you have unlocked your bootloader, just use a custom kernel.

Are you sure? Undervolting, just like overclocking should reset at reboot.

Only if you don't use any "set on boot options"
I always make sure my oc/uv are not set on boot just in case.

Sorry to bump this thread but I felt I had to. It's been nearly a month since I got my OX and I have to say I regret nothing thank you all.
I have a HOX and its the best phone I've ever owned, and I've had many android phones and rooted them and put custom roms on them all. But this doesn't need, Imo. My wife and father inlaw both have S3s and they both have many problems like overheating, random reboots, and bad battery. The both got the jellybean update and things seem to be ok for them now. But when we get ours it will make a great phone even greater. Htc all the way.

Got one for my wife yesterday and its superb. The camera and build quality is great and really why I got it for her. Folders on home screens are an essential for her. Not seen what battery life's like but if its bad JB update will improve it probably. Love how when I slide my finger across the screen at the edge its seamless and glides off the edge. Its things like that, that HTC have done really well. Its the easiest android phone and anyone can pick it up and easily use it but I can't say that for some of the others.
I really want one but 32gb is not enough. I have a SGS2 and like that I have an SD card.
I did consider one x + but they are just trying to shift more before their new phones come out and I won't buy into that. HTC butterfly for me
I purchased hers from amazon warehouse used but from amazon directly so I knew if I had issues I could replace it easy. No issues yet. Joy to use.
Chameleon Rom by Jazzk
The most stable Rom for your SGS2
The purpose of this thread is to see how many people are still loving their One X.
I was fascinated when I bought it. It was the most beautiful piece of technology I ever owned or even laid my eyes on. I still love it. For some time a week ago I was really disappointed in HTC. Not giving us S-OFF. Not releasing Jellybean even tough they promised to. But then I flashed a really nice ROM and it kind of made me think my choice of the One X over SGS3 was right. I flashed ICJ and it's a new phone. I just needed a change, got bored of the stock JB. And seeing all the tweaks and options on that ROM just reminded me of how great this phone is.
Do you share my point of view or have you already lost faith in HTC?
I still love my htc one x but it doesn't changes the truths like late jelly bean and no s-off. I will sell my hox and buy a n4 just because I want the pure google rom and google support.
Why are you happy with your choice of the One X over the SGS3 when you are having a better experience with TouchWiz, the default SGS3-launcher?
Seems a bit ironic.
I am. Love sense and the hox. For me, the best phone out as of now.

I never said Sense was my choice. I really dislike Sense. I normally use stock JB, but I just wanted to change things up a bit. I chose the One X because my last 3 phones were Samsung and all of them had difficulties with hardware after a year or so. And because it looked a million times better and more high quality compared to the SGS3.
No. I'm getting a Nexus4 ASAP
Küldve az én HTC One X-emről
I've enjoyed my HOX, but I'm too excited about the Nexus 4 right now. It's been fun but it's time to move on.
I really fall in love with mine every time I watch a video on it or play a game i'm not that bothered by not having JB yet or that it's s-on This is the first android phone I'm really happy with just stock the only thing I would change is the battery and I'm gonna check at my local service center if they can hook me up with a x+ batt then I'll be happy with every aspect of it
Fed up of the jb fiasco no more HTC for me.

Wow, you haven't got JB? Tell me how your life sucks because you don't have jellybean installed on your phone! (If you want updates that bad why didn't you buy a Nexus?)
I'm very pleased with my HOX, an overall great phone with a beautiful screen.

Exactly how I feel
Only one more thing bothers me. My one x was one of the early ones but had none of the defects many people was having.
But in the last two weeks yellow spots has started appearing

Well, I was never in "love" with any phone I owned; but I am pretty happy with it as the main electronic device of my daily life, with the laptop and TV.
can say that it is the one which broke the Sony trio, but not unhappy or regretted with that choice.
Still I want the whole Android experience and some HTC experiences to be improved, but I will not cry for things I already knew before buying this phone.
Fiasco? Not releasing JB even promised?
I think you better change the point of view you have on some specific cases. Otherwise you will never ever be happy with any piece of stuff you own.
Wow, some interesting opinions here.
When I first got my HOX, I loved it, it got the WiFi antenna problem, I sent out in for repair, it came back with a broken case, I sent it back it came back with the screen chipped and yellow spots, sent it back and now I have a new HOX.
So for quite a while I was not happy, but now I'm in love again. I got a cheap silicon case which gives it better grip (I find it a bit slippery to hold as it is) also I notice the led seems to be in a better spot. So it good all round.
As for the infamous jelly bean, that's the icing on the cake. Can't live without Sense, so don't want to flash stock.
First Smartphone
This is my first ever smart phone which is also first android phone..
When first time i saw this phone back in March-12, the first impression was for me, forget the budget... if i have to buy a phone... it will be HOX only..
Forget iphone or BB, even S3 was not in options for me...
and later what happened is just a history now... i have flaunted this phone in my social circle as much as one can do with their Ferrari or Lamborghini..
and i am also happy because after seeing my HOX, few more people were convinced to buy HOX or HOX+ instead of S3...
And no need to mention that, i never switched to any custom ROM.. all pure HOX with Sense
Still happy with the HOX in some kind but honestly: Since i got me a Note 2 for work i touch the HOX more less and less.
after 5 months with my hox i still in love with it! amazin design and everytime i watch it i love it more!
no s-off, but why do we need s-off now? we have everything we need and we'll have it for long time, and if we'll have s-off too in the future it will just be better!
amazing hardware, amazing display and amazing sense! if i'm bored by sense, i install cm10 or just any other launcher! and i can return to sense whenever i want!
I hate my one x. Gorilla glass cracked at 1 foot. Crap memory for recovery hence no 4ext. Bad move on no microsd. Only thing good is crisp display and nice processor.
HTC failed!

i haven't used many phones... would you tell me which SMART phone screen can survive after falling on ground?? i might have been just lucky because mine has fallen 3 times (yes i remembered each, it was mini-heart attack for me) but i guess screen has survived some how..
