Hi friends
now i have htc hd2 and i want to buy a new phone, and now the two handset doubt one x and nexus 4. If you help me?
Compare them on internet, go to a phone store and put them next to eachother. Decide which fits you the most.
This is a personal opinion. Nobody can decide what phone you should buy.
You can add HTC one in that list as well.
If you want fast updates and good custom ROM support, go for the N4.
HTC is not particularly good with those two areas.
This is not a personal opinion, it's a fact.

I used to use a HTC HD2 from 2009 Nov, still have my hd2 in good working condition. Upgraded to HTC OneX in 2012 April.. no regrets yet.
I'm not sure about N4, pardon my ignorance.. but I do have friends with latest android devices from samsung/ motorola etc. I always do get the most awesome roms/tweaks/themes thanks to the wonderful community at XDA.
I personally love Sense and HTC One X lets you run the latest Sense with its full glory without any lags, if you ask me having an option to run Sense is itself worth selecting HOX over N4, you can always switch back to AOSP if you ever dislike it.
Additionally the image sense chip on HOX is awesome.. I can always vouch that I get the best pic with my slim mobile
Only the single issue with HOX is it doesn't have S-Off yet, that means once you unlock, no way of going back to a state where you can proof that you haven't unlocked your phone. That might be the only reason, why my next device might not be a HTC. But honestly, I'll miss sense.
no htc again ,slow updates no customer service

Same here.
Samsung/Sony next for me...
Really want one of the new xperia's !! TAKE IT IN THE BATH !!!
Apart from nexus devices, most carrier upgrades leave a lot to be desired timescale-wise. Wouldn't recommend sony for quick upgrades, or customer service(talking from experience...).
It's fairly straightforward though. There are no high-end phones from 2012/13 that will disappoint performance wise so try them out and see which you prefer.
samsung has maybe faster updates, problem is they are so bad that instead of that i wait some weeks more for htc updates and get best out of the phones htc is still the best in all
As a nexus owner I can say that nexus experience is unparalleled. It represents absolute customizability and control over how you want your device to be. Then again HTC and Sammy has better cameras, possibly better displays. You can calibrate nexus 4 display and make it look as good or better than one x or s3.
Ultimately like the previous comments I'd suggest try before you buy.

one x display is the best which was know where seen before...also the n4 can't be better as the one x screen...and s3 screen is bad like sh*t from a dog with unlocked bootloader we can also customize our phones like we want...but only if we knew what we are doing like for the n4
I am using One X now and will upgrade to another HTC phone because the company is in a bad condition financially and I want to support the it. If HTC hoes bankrupt where else would you get skins as good as sense I don't wanna live with crapwiz stock android is good and fast but it gets boring pretty quickly sense is fast too and beautiful.

I have returned my one x twice under warranty with just flashing a nandroid of stock and relocking the bootloader. Device shown the security alert but no questions asked. First for the WiFi squeeze issue for which they fixed and replaced the back case. Looked brand new. Then I just fastbooted the unlock token and rooted again. Second return for signal / no imei number for which I got a new motherboard. Both jobs took 5 days - send and return. Very pleased with customer service of HTC. I'm in UK if that makes any difference.
AW: buy a new smart phone
What you like to pay for a One X? Getting a replacement in 2 days Form Vodafone and like to sell it.

Well Q2 starts in 10 days. So you don't have long to wait
But seriously, this is a personal call. What do you think the people in the Galaxy Nexus Forum are going to tell you to get? You won't get a straight answer here lol. Same goes for the One X Forum. You have to decide whether having a Nexus is more important, or having better hardware specs is more important. Most people come to the Nexus for stock ICS and/or great hack-ability. They come here to get away from Sense. They won't want the One X to begin with.

You bring up very good points. I have had CM7 and now CM9-beta on the photon4g I'm using to replace my evo3d that got "lost" and I forgot how fast non-sense roms are. I miss it. I miss my Nexus One and CM on my Evo4g and Evo3d lol. I miss how smooth and fast it was and how I was able to customize everything to my liking. That's like +3 for the SGN. lol
Don't you think CM will come to the One series?

lol, did y'all see the press release on engadget. the HTC One X might be revealed on April 4th.
I dunno, I could see myself picking the One X for processing power alone (im a bit of a heavy user) but at the same time I could see the slimness of the ICS stock on the SGN being so fast. But that won't even matter sooner or later with all these more powerful devices coming out.
I don't know.
Doesn't the U.S. version of the onex only have a duel core in it? If I'm right I don't see it beeping any better then the gn.

SGN will always be the first to get updates from Google. So if you want a phone that will always be on top as far as software updates, the SGN is the obvious choice. Although hardware wise, the HTC One X is the s**t
one x its just a beast, but i never liked htc phones, lame soft support compared to a nexus.

The antutu bench doesn't seem right. one x is getting 6900 and im getting 6600 with stock values and 7000 with 1350mhz oc. is too low it should be over 10000.
Hi All,
Due to upgrade at the end of the month,I was looking at either the HTC One X or the Galaxy S3.
Can't decide on which, any recommendations on these or other phones?

I personally would go with the Samsung, for the simple fact I need an SD card and would like to be able to pull the battery out when things go wrong instead of having to walk upstairs to connect it to my pc and adb reboot it.
I had a quick play with them both today at the phone shop in town and they are both amazingly fast, I know the HTC screen is better but I couldn't tell the difference between them, as for processors and gpu's I believe they are both equally matched at what they do, I've seen benchmarks that put each on top so really in my eyes its down to personal preferance. Ask in a shop if you can have a little play with them before you decide which you want.

I disagree had a week with the samsung galaxy s3 and too be frank hated it the touch wiz is annoying and unhelpful and the design was cheap. The home button was also a big pain because it was sometimes unresponsive and didn't spring back as well as i had hoped.
I recently just changed to a htc one x, and undoubtably the best choice i have ever made, regarding a smartphone, the new sense is clean an intuitive and thanks to the super fast processor its just incredible. But one of my favourite things is the support for the rooting community so you will have zero trouble if your looking to install a custom rom of some sort or over clocking or what ever.
Plus samsung never update their phones so you will be stuck on ics forever.

Come off it, this is xda.........
The s3 will go far beyond ics wether there's an official update or not. They said we couldn't get gb on a wildfire and look at us now!
And from what I've been reading dev support for the s3 is also on the rise, in fact they have one of the best giving them full support.
Also you don't have to use tw just the same as you don't have to use sense if you don't like it.

I'd say that the S2 got the update to ICS relatively quick, compared to other OEMs.
It won't make it past ics with official updates, people will have to use custom roms. also the the s 2 didnt get it very quickly ics was announced and released in october - November time and the s2 got updated in march i think. ( at least on my carrier )
Do you need an sd card slot with 32 gigs of space
Still rather go for the one x its fast, easy to root ( if on this forum its important to you) , lots of roms are available and its a phone that will easily last a two year contact with its great build.
Go with HOX on this one man

Yes I do need an SD card with as much space as I can get, quite often my 16gb SD card is full and needs cleaning up, I have a limited data plan so the extra space (23gb) that you get from dropbox is still not feasible.
So Samsung don't do updates yet the s2 has an official ics update and I reckon there's more to come for it and others too.
Reading this makes me think that HTC haven't exactly been quick off the mark with it.

I really like the look of Sense 5 and I would definitely love to try it out, but I don't know if it would be possible to port it over to the international One X since it has entirely different interiors. What do you guys think?

Considering HTC refuses to acknowledge things like the green tint issue that some users are experiencing when they updated to jellybean, ignore GPL by not releasing sources, releasing updates for their phones literally years too late (like the amaze receiving ICS like a year late) I think it's safe to assume that they'll either ignore the One X completely or release it a few years from now.
Either way, I'm pretty sure this is the last HTC phone I ever buy.
reliable only on XDA not on HTC
when we have great team of developers here on xda why we need official one???but in terms of releasing updates we all know HTC.....
Well, my questions wasn't about the official update, I asked if you guys think that the devs will be able to port it fully. Not just skins and tiny segments of Sense 5, I'm talking the full interface.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
yeah im also looking forward to experience sense 5 on my one x. it is said that it is lighter than sense 4+.
i hope it comes real soon.
Since the HTC One has the exact same screen resolution and we have 3.1 kernel, i'm sure we should get full sense 5.
The only limitations are the HTC One's hardware specific features.
Team Venom Epic-Sauce + Sense 5....
You tell me how awesome that is going to be

The HTC One doesn't have the same screen resolution... It has 1080p and we have 720p. It just has the same screen size (4.7 inch) which is practically irrelevant when porting.

no doubt they would release sense 5 for one x, and maybe for one x too
hi folks,
the german tech site techstage.de was able to ask htc directly on the london release party.
they said that there will be definetly an update for the devices one x, one s and one x+.
they also mentioned that this update wont got all the features he htc one got, but i think this will be mainly the new htc-tv feature that allows u to use ur device as a remote (because we dont got an infrared sensor).
we'll see...
http://www.techstage.de/news/HTC-Sen...s-1806391.html
So guys finally its official:
HTC OneX and OneX + will not receive any further updates.
Its officially announced by HTC now.
"We can confirm that the HTC One X and One X+ will not receive further Android OS updates beyond Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5. We realize this news will be met with disappointment by some, but our customers should feel confident that we have designed both devices to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences. -HTC"
Update: the only HTC One X variant that will be updated to Android 4.3 is the HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint.

The guys at pocketnow mentioned it too. Kinda sad but I don't care that much as I would use CM11 instead of the Sense KitKat anyways.
But this just confirmed what I expected and so this will definitely be my last HTC device. Too bad I liked the build quality.

Well. Its a quad core it could not handle android 4.4. Wait cm is running great. Well they would need a big team to update to kk. Wait thomy updated to cm kk all by himself.
All these just proves that htc did not learn anything. thought they could be it you know the company that cares trying to give out the best for the lowest price and keep it updated as long as possible. Instead they are just like everybody else.
My dad bought a samsung tv today. It could not run the youtube app no matter what. I called samsung and they said it is not a problem from their side but from the developers of the app. Ok so f off and tnx for false advertisement (for 2 months). Then the wifi would not work. Called them again they said if it isnt 5m from the router (visual distance) it wont work. Which actually means hey you have a really crappy wifi chip so thats how we protect ourselves so we dont need to replace it.
Dont know where im going with it? I think that if we dont stand up to the industry and demand changes like i dont know a htc xda program for example or everyone slaps ceo of samsung for everytime youtube wont start, we are going to end up in a ditch from where we will not be able to come out. For christ sake i cant even connect a htc phone to a samsung tv anymore. And that should be normal???

Its a hard lesson learnt, only buy Qualcomm based chipset phones from now on. nVidia gives fancy names to their chipsets, however they are pathetic when it comes to supporting their chipset.
I think it has to do with HTC also.. Dont blame just nvidia. if HTC wanted they could have updated the phone as fas as i know. Thomy's ROM is working fine on hox and so does slimkat. Why don't HTC discuss it out with nvidia and both could have worked hard to give an update.
But see they both (HTC and nvidia) dont give support to old devices and try to work hard on throwing new devices every then and now. If they would have worked that hard (or even less than that) on giving support to hox, it might be a good decision..
Hox is a solid performing device which HTC d#tched early..

I bought this device to HTC, not to Nvidia. It is HTC responsability to update it.
Google nexus 7 has the same tegra3, and is perfectly working with kit kat.
First months, HTC also gives lots of updates to the oneX, saying they had changed its updating politic. Now, they said this. To bad, HTC. This is my 5th device, and I cant give you anoother chance anymore. I love all of my HTC phones, but this is my last one.

It's not enough to look good for the first year until the next device comes out and then suddenly drop almost all support. What happened with the Desire models, Sensation models and now HOX models will also happen to the One when the next "flagship" is announced.

They sure as hell aren't getting that money from me.
I see a main cause that HTC decided to not update our phone anymore in the fact that 90% of the users of a phone are just the basic users, who just leave everything on their phone as it was delivered. Only thing I see my friends changing on their Android phones are the wallpaper and their app shortcuts. Some of them change their widgets, some don't. And out of my whole circle of friends I am the only one who knows what a custom ROM is and what the most up to date Android version is. So why should HTC Update our device any further if the only people really concerning about these updates are "those geeks over at xda developers". If things were the other way around and 90% of the HOX owners around the world would trample HTCs HQ for not updating our phone and would take the same step as me and were not going to buy any other HTC phone anymore they would sure as hell update it to KK.
But as people dont do so, why should they update it.
The thing is that old versions of Android also mean more security concerns and possible app compatability issues in the future. Things like this are a concern for the average user and not so much us who know how to tinker with custom roms.
And my friends who have Android phones and who I'd call average users complain about lack of upgrades just as much as me. They still want their phones to have the newest features, up to date looks and all that. HTC being so horrible with updates means that people recognize then as a company with lack of support. And people don't pay hundreds of dollars/euros for just more than one years worth of support.

It's not like that. You don't see Samsung or Motorola not updating their old devices just because 90% of the users don't complain.
Samsung is going to update S3 to kitkat. and motorola has already confirmed that old devices are receiving kitkat. those devices don't even have large user base like that of HOX.

It's not enough to look good for the first year until the next device comes out and then suddenly drop almost all support. What happened with the Desire models, Sensation models and now HOX models will also happen to the One when the next "flagship" is announced.

Let's wait and see what happens to the One after its successor in announced.
I was wondering if ever there will be a time that the GS3 will have a HTC One rom? I figure since they ported over a Z1 earlier maybe they can port an HTC One.
I know what some of you might say " buy an HTC phone" I'm just curious I had an HTC Thunderbolt when it first came out and loved the UI but had issues of course with the phone. but now, with the new HTC One it'll be nice to play with it on the GS3
I doubt that Galaxy S3 does not support Sense UI Framework. You could try and see if the Launcher can be installed on S3. You'd have to get someone with HTC to grab the 2 APKs for you.

Yeah, I remembered seeing this but the Dev stopped this project. Maybe I'll leave the GS3 world and jump back to HTC. Not really concerned with camera. i don't take that much pictures anyway. if I do, I'm not looking for professional quality, just a picture. So maybe I'll get the HTC One M8. We'll see.
I've had this ROM on my phone for several months now; it has the sense launcher/icons so it will look/run like an HTC phone even though its not an actual HTC port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but oh well
