Hello!
I'm new to the forums and Android. Right now, I'm an owner of an iPhone 3GS.
I'm getting a new phone because I'm sick of all the lagging and Apple may not create apps/games for my old 3GS anymore.
Now, to my questions.
1. Does One X lag (even a little) when browsing internet, playing games or even in Android.
2. I plan on getting the EU version, which should be 32GB and quadcore(not really a question, just claryfing).
3. Can I root ANY version of One X?
4. Should I root? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
5. How does the Flash Player work? Can I like play online games which require flash player?
6. Should I buy a case, if yes, which? I was using iSkin on my 3GS, but they dont make one for HTCs.
7. Will I be able to install ANY version of Android which comes out?
8. I want a top-end smartphone. Is there some kind of app/game that One X cant run?
Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert so will try and answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.
1. I've had my One X for a couple of months and am more than happy, I'm still on 1.29 Orange UK and browsing and games are pretty good, I've no complaints anyway. I believe some people said phone got better with the 2.17 update.
2. There is a thread about a 16GB version, I think someone got one from dialaphone UK, just double check.
3. I'm pretty sure you can root any version, but might have a little wait if newer FW comes out. Someone with more knowledge might be able to confirm this better.
4 Root is just like jailbreak on Iphone, I always root mine so I can delete all stuff I dont want.
5. I don't play online games but flash works for me, I watch football at work at night.
6. Case is entirely your choice.
7. Who knows? but I assume we'll be able OK for a couple of years (updates).
8. Some people might have problems with some apps they use, mine work fine.
Hope this helps you a bit. Overall I'm more than happy with my HOX. I had a Galaxy S2 then went to the Sony Xperia S for a few weeks and then onto the HOX
I would wait for the one x+ that's got a bigger screen 1.7ghz tegra 3 and lte

If your rooting plan is to upgrade to the latest version of android...eg jellybean, beat in mind that flash is no longer supported, thus harder to install and update

Looks like I'll wait for the HTC One X+, the release date should be in early October.

Bigger screen? Like 0.1" bigger to match the s3 ?
Doesn't need a bigger screen bigger battery would be better.
To op, beauty of android means that you can complie any android and port it to any device.
So yeah newer versions of android should be updated by HTC or Xda.

Uhm, I think I've read somewhere that the HOX+ should have 4.5'' screen?
Hox+ should be the same as the One X but with quad and lte. I don't think they will downsize the screen.
If you need lte then go for the One X+ if you don't then go with the international One X as the development is better than any other variant as of the moment.
Official jelly bean is due very soon rumours early as next month so it'll get even better!

5inc screen and a replaceable battery I think it sounds really good they say they fixed all the problems we had with this one

Well, now I've found out about HTC One XXL which should have 2GB RAM and 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, so yeah, I might even wait for that one...
Guess I'll just wait and see when One X+ and One XXL comes out and I'll decide.
Im about to get a new smartphone at the 10th of next month. Should I go for the Htc one x or Nexus 4 ?
Will it get full sense 5 and android 5 ?
The one x will get sense 5 and android 4.2.2, who knows after that. Any Nexus device will get the latest android version that it can physically handle. I preferred, and still prefer, the one x but everyone has their own opinion, your best bet is to try them out for a while and see which one fits your needs.

I would advice against it. It has lot of issues. Call Clarity, Overheating, Battery not Charging.
I also did buy one 2 weeks back. Tried to update official OTA Update. got stuck in boot loop. Now its not charging and is paper weight.
Get a phone which is reparable easily or at least has a removable battery.
this is my personal opinion plz dont flame me
hope it helps.

I've had mine HTC One X for one year and a few days now. If I were to choose phone again today I would not choose thte HTC One X. It has alot of troubles and the battery life is terrible compared to say Galaxy S4. One minus is also that you can not change the battery easily yourself and no sd-card slot. You have both of these of on the Galaxy S4.
The reason I bought the One X was that I love Sense, still think it's the best looking Android out there. But is it worth all downs?

Of course HOX!!
You can use any style on HOX: make it like googlephone, iphone & etc. But I think Sense wouldn't work on Nexus

hehe... i still have the feeling that Sense 5 was the last big update...but i say its ok...i dont think that nowdays...(i mean in the rush time we live..if i can say that so) its a good idea to make over and over updates for old phones so that you dont need to buy a new phone...i can understand that a little bit...2 years are ok..and a must...i dont want a big discussion about this..for this there are enough threads..but thats my thinking and i hope i dont make me enemies
So much for this being 'flagship'. HTC really don't care about their customers once they have a new bun in the oven.

The One X was the 2012 flagship, it's almost 2014 HTC has gone beyond and above with support for the One X.

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.

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
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4
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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.
Has there been a Sense ROM ported to the Nexus 7? I'm new to the Nexus world and have been a Sense user/lover for a while and would really enjoy a port of this kind.
Lol.
Why buy a Nexus if you want and love HTC Sense? Sell the Nexus and buy a HTC tablet?

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get notice that anyone had replied to my post. Yes indeed there are no HTC tablets out right now. The reason I got a nexus was because I traded my Windows 8 Toshiba Encore for it and the nexus is not a Samsung with Touchwiz which I hate. Not ever having a nexus of any kind I assumed they were much more custom ROM friendly. But maybe not when incorporated with manufacturer's UI.
Thanks for the looking out.

When considering a Nexus device the whole idea (I think even in Google's part) was to set the 'vanilla benchmark' if you will, for how Android should look and feel and let OEMs paste on their skins on top of this. I agree, of all the OEM skins Sense is (now) far and away the best, but the only reason Nexus Devices have custom ROMs, is for customisation of the "stock" feel as opposed to tweaks of another OEM skin. I'd imagine since the framework for OEM skins is dependent a fair amount on the hardware (or similar hardware) that the OEM produces, it's usually rare to see a different OEM skin on another device. (e.g. Sense usually gets ported between HTC devices and MUCH less so to others, as that's tougher).
You'll come to enjoy the fluidity of Google Android, don't worry, I know I have, being an ex Sense user!
I'd have to say that Motorola's "skin" is, by far, the best.

I suppose, as it's about as close to vanilla Android as you'll get, it doesn't really count (with the Moto extras of courae)
I have an m8 I converted it to GPE two days after I got it I actually really liked sense but I'm impatient and don't want to wait a really long time to get lollipop especially coming from a nexus 5 getting updates instantly I love my nexus 7 though but I hated the n5

I have the M7 and just converted it to the GPE and I too liked the look of sense though I like the look of stock Android a little more. How come you didn't like the N5?
Bad battery life,was seeing a lot of hardware failure threads especially bad emmnc,screen quality was meh the only thing I really liked about the n5 was we are the first to get updates but I'm willing to be the second to get updates if I can get a much better device
Hey guys, i own an htc One m8 from verizon. One guy offered me an One plus One with a case, the earphone and some extra things.. Should i trade or keep ? Is the oneplus One better than the m8?
Thanks.

Definitely keep the M8.
I have been using the Oneplus since July and it's not as great as it sound. It's a good phone with all the good specs and price, but the touchscreen problem is horrible. And customer service is just as bad. They made a new thread about the issue, but where is the solution? I bought a M8 recently and it feels like it's from another world. Things I've noticed between the two are: touchscreen is MUCH more responsive., camera has faster focus and takes faster pics, Whatsapp voice message sounds like you are underwater in OPO, audio is way better with M8. I'm a fan of vanilla rom, but I actually really like sense after using it. I would suggest you test out the OPO and check for touchscreen issue if you're planning to get it

And Cyanogen is plus point. Compared to m8 the screen size is 5.5' and build quality,viewing angles are great!3Gb ram and Battery backup is excellent .Camera Quality is above average!
Go with OnePlus One Dude.Hurry

It's up to you. I would keep the M8 as it is a lot more premium looking phone with very good build quality and of course it is worth more!
