HTC One X
HTC One X. From the presentation just now, looks to be a solid improvement to the vivid.

Lol good joke. That things going to already be behind the curve when it comes out. No removable battery, the battery capacity is small too. No microsd support. Only 4.3 inch screen INCLUDING the ICS on screen keys at the bottom (for the one s, not sure about screen size on one x, edit: the one x has a 4.7 inch). Comes preloaded with ICS, but only a dual core processor(for both one x and one s). I'll wait for an ICS phone with a bigger removable battery, microsd support, etc. But I will say, I'm glad they moved to super amoled.

almost a 200 maH upgrade from the vivid, although i don't see why people can't fit a giant battery like the razr maxx in a good phone : (

it will flop as will most of these quad core phones, no batteries will last more than 4 hrs...htc is notorious for undersized batteries for their phones...the vivid couldve gotten a 2000mAh battery as I bought for my two devices without having to change backplate...and it wouldve been good....but it boils down to money and they do not spend on the extra power for their devices, has been that way forever...I dont care what operating system they release if they do not increase spending on more powerful batteries to support the phones itll flop...

Its sad, I would gladly pay an extra $50-100 for a much bigger battery without having some crazy bulge in the phone. Hate having to worry about getting through a single day. One of the only reasons I still have the gs2, it's battery life is much better

I purchased 2 2000mAh andida batteries with wall charger for 40.00 with shipping....

how much extra charge does that generally give you? I mean is it a respectable hour or two extra?

dont know yet, just got them yesterday and have to recycle them 4 times before maximum power is achieved

I believe it's the SuperLCD 2.
Either way, pretty disappointing "big" announcement from them today. And only dual core for the US. I honestly couldn't imagine having a phone larger than the Vivid as is. They're almost tablet sized now.

I think one of them is super amoled, whether it be an international version or just one of the variants. Or the CNET twitter is giving out misinformation.

the One X will have Tegra 3 global edition and Snapdragon S4 LTE edition.
Tegra 3 seems more promising, but battery would be a problem.

I only just got this phone (velocity) My next phone will be in 23Months, so I have no idea what I will be looking at, Android 7 with a Tegra5 octo-core, 4gb of ram, 128gb ssd, a 1920mAh battery if I'm lucky and a self-lubricating blow job machine?
How often do you people turn over your phones lol?

Hopefully none of us will need a new phone after the ics update hits.

lol I did about once a month for a while. Inspire, Infuse, Aria, Desire Z, the list goes on and on. I finally decided to settle on the Vivid for a while.

<Removed>

I have about 20 months left, I'd guess. See what's on the market then. If Nexus is more mainstream and still unadulterated, I'll go for that. But if the HTC still gets me with Sense's prettiness, I wouldn't have a problem getting another one.

Would you recommend the LG o4x?

So I want to get a replacement for my HTC Desire HD.
But I am unsure what to get, the HTC x one is tempting cause I like sense, but I like the design better on the LG.
So anyone here tried both and will help me choose? Maybe even a third phone

Well the 4X design is pretty sexy.. and it's got root now so you could flash sense on it
I can tell you that this is by far the best smartphone ive ever had it's amazingly fast, battery life is awesome , and display is better than One X. I sold my One X for this.

sure sounds good, its also a tad cheaper than the one x

Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app

I could argue with someone who prefer HTC One X, but I doubt I can win the heart of SGS3 chooser, except they're price sensitive.
Also more phone with quad-core and less price will come up, so LG better gathering more ammo to gain more attention.

battery life is awesome ?? yes in standby only but if you play games, surf the internet, it's terrible!

If u don't play games, battery is nice then. Remember, it's quad core with Tegra 3, dedicated 4 games

Sold my HTCOne x and got my one x.
I dont regret it at all

Well you got root on the 4X but you have locked bootloader. So for now there is nothing to flash.
So if you like to flash another rom the one x is definitively the better choice. They are getting CM10 like the S3, even I'm getting CM10 on my old galaxy S so I'm not convinced yet to upgrade to this

Its definitely worth your buy!!! My friend had the same phone OMG it was wow big. Hmmm well atleast better than L7 , but compared to samsumgs, lg still lacks the capability. Oh, the phone gets HOT after awhile idk why!! And lg just wouldn't release the unlocked bootloader so yea rooting is inposible for now!
Sent from my LG-P705 using xda premium

Rooting IS possible.

i just compared mine to HTC OneX 2 days ago, since a family member got that. and really, it is pretty much the same just with the sense4 menu's and different camera features (speed of rolling snapshot) but quality and design, o4x feels better to hold in your hand.
my only dislike
screen activation when power button is pressed (see other threads if you want to know how widespread issue is or is not)
i'm quite happy with it. and its still affordable compared to htc's product in the same cpu range.
we had root'ing some weeks ago, and i personally contributed with a bootstrap ClockWorkMod edition, so we can utilize backups for now. custom roms with custom kernels seems a little far away. only custom roms using existing kernel is possible.

xactly by point, but it exists even after many,many reinstalls. but i survive, its quick enough as long as its within a few mins.

Well you got me convinced, I dont see why I should throw another 100euro after the one x, when their nearly identical in their specs.
I was kinda disappointed in htc support and updates, so I guess I dont expect much of LG either, but it seems ot me they released at least 3 smaller updates since release and hopefully jelly bean will come soon enough

the HOX has had a lot of updates since launch. The latest update with sense 4.1 fixes the lagging issue and improves the battery life too. And HTC has updated all their 2011 phones to ICS.

true story!

[Q] Good time to buy a new phone?

I hate to make another good bye thread, but I think its time for me to upgrade. Our dev community is all but dead (besides for the CM10 JB Rom), and I think I just need a new phone.
Is it a good time to get a new phone? Im looking for a top of the line high end phone on AT&T. I was looking at the One X+ but the Tegra 3 chip seems like its a little old. Im also not a big fan of the LG Optimus. Im really liking the Droid DNA but the fact that there is 16gb non expendable storage and the off contract price is $600 (it comes unlocked so it works on AT&T) is kind of a deal breaker.
Should I Wait for CES and hope that more Snapdragon 4 Pro, 1080p phones will come? Or should I just get the One X+?

I would just buy a Nexus 4. I just did. It isn't here yet, but it is going to be aweeesome.

As soon as Google gets more, I'm buying a nexus 4 also! I'm still going to keep this phone as a backup/tethering device (I need LTE speeds to tether).

But then Im stuck with no lte, 16gb of storage, and its still $300. I would rather go with the one x+ then.
My question was really if it seems like there will be a new wave of android phones in the near future (CES.)

I guess I can overlook those things because I hate the bull **** of skins like sense and touch wiz. Also too, I can't stand the service providers bastardizing the software with their bloat.
But to better answer your question, CES always has new stuff rolling out, but it's really up to what you want. This ain't like the iPhone where there's only one phone a year to look forward to. There's always a new phone coming out with Android on it. Look at how fast the one X+ came out after the one X.... If there's not a phone right now that makes you want to run out and buy it, wait till that one comes around... Or until your current phone breaks!

Thats the problem, my Vivid is slow as anything and is getting awful battery life running desensed. With a new phone im either going to sacrifice LTE and storage or processor and ram.

There is stock based, miui or desensed roms it's not that bad

Sent from my Holiday using xda app-developers app

I ain't going to lie, I would rather have a phone with more storage or an sd, a removable battery, and lte, but I just don't trust carrier phones anymore so I bought a nexus 4 and I am patiently waiting for it to get here, but figured the sacrifices would be worth it to not have to deal with the hurdles modern phones have just to delete unwanted bloatware, and have wifi tethering with no bs monthly charge.
I really love the one X plus, but I am a bit afraid of it. Afraid it's this year's vivid, a filler phone with locked down hardware and piss poor support. Honestly with my impatience over the nexus 4, I played with all the carrier phones and the answer is a no brainer. Galaxy s3!
Galaxy S3 is as close to a no compromise phone as it gets. Sure its only been dual core, but it's a bad ass dual core, and it's got 2 gigs of ram, and it just got its jelly bean update, and development is off the chain, hell its practically the flagship for the cm team! Accessories are on the level of apple products.. In fact by all means it's the anti iphone.
It looks good, and if you can't deal with TouchWiz, you have most likely an overwhelming amount of options.
Only downsides to it is if your a screen perfectionist you'll probably hate the pentile 4.8 inch 720p AMOLED screen. I personally think it's gorgeous and I can't even tell the difference between pentile and non pentile anyway and I prefer amoled anyway for better brightness, deeper blacks, and better battery life.
My other gripe with it is the dated button layout. I do like physical buttons over the nexuses virtual buttons as the virtual buttons sacrifice screen real estate, but I prefer the new layout as menu is just useless after ics.

To summarize if you can't deal with the sacrifices that come with the Nexus 4, then the Galaxy S3 is the ONLY phone worth buying! Okay well the note 2 as well if you're into ridiculously stupid large phones, a personal preference thing, I don't care for it myself

Good time to buy a new phone?
I know you posted this awhile ago, but, if you were to get a new phone this week, you'd literally be getting a new phone the week the main CM10 ROM issue for Holiday (AT&T in-call microphone) is solved.
So, no, if you're thinking of getting a new phone this week, I'd wait. We're going to have a ton of roms pouring in over the next few weeks.

Want to kill the lag? Put wcx's stock rom on, and leave it be! Seriously, any mods will just add lag, deal with sense 3.6 and put that rom on and you'll be happier. Trust me it's worked for me

Not a bad choice, it's the same phone as the nexus 4 but with lte, and an sd slot, and of course LGs customized version of ics instead of raw android 4.2. I considered one but am worried about development on it

To buy or not buy a One?

I've been researching this phone a whole lot because I plan on buying this next month sometime, but a few things are unclear:
What is this phone like? A lot of people suffer from dead pixels, poor build quality, etc.
It also seems HTC is in the verge of bankruptcy. They're not doing too well sales wise and top executives are leaving.
It kinda makes me a bit nervous.

Heh, HTC has had hit in sales. Bad one at that but they are not even close to bankruptcy. Not even close. It will few years for that even if current things continue. They still have market cap of around 250 billion $. What is happening is not ideal. In fact it is bad, but it is not the end game yet.
Built quality issues were more widespread in early units. The smaller issues like small gaps between the top and bottom speaker grill and body still persist but those are really minor issues. The other issues have reduced in frequency (at least frequency of it being reported here at XDA ).
You can always return the phone if it is not up to your standards. It should not happen on flagship, but these days almost all flagships are hit by such issues as initially most are rushed products.
There are plenty of threads here about how the phone it. It is mixed bag for me, but it is a beautifully built phone. Has its quirks with unconventional button layout, unconventional Sense 5 etc. But that is personal choice in the end. If you can go play with the demo piece for a while at store near you before making purchase. But overall it is good phone. The only other phone that really competes with it is S4. I wont consider any other phone.

The One is a rather simple friend.

Both the HTC One Developer Edition and the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GS4) are my first Android phones. I returned the GS4 because 9gb of application storage was not acceptable. I have, literally, installed every available custom ROM because I really do not like Sense 5. I enjoy Blinkfeed, but IMHO it should be a scrollable widget instead of the default homescreen. Yes the One's bootloader can be/is unlocked, but none of the available ROM are particularly functional or impressive. If you buy the One, you'll likely choose an improved stock ROM rather than a completely custom ROM in order to maximize the camera functionality. I really dislike the camera app. I also disliked the GS4 camera app. In fact, I haven't found an Android camera app as functional as the 3rd party camera app I had on my iPhone.
My build quality seems fine. I am not finicky. My device IS NOT gapless, but I really don't care. My screen don't seem to have any dead pixels. If it did, with a 480 pixel density, I could never see something so small.
All in all, the One is a solid phone. I definitely wouldn't buy it for market price again. I'm not too sure about HTC solvency, but the One seems to have a strong development community, so the phone will unlikely ever be irrelevant.

buy it.
you only hear from the vocal minority on here regarding quality control issues, and it seems that people here are looking for problems to complain about. every htc one owner i've physically spoken to has had nothing but great things to stay about it

Martin... Its a great phone. Sense 5 is a step closer to stock android (u so love) than TW.
It feels great in the hand, premium build quality (Google for earlier build flaws), it's fast, smooth and everything the S3 is not Imo..... And u know how I loved my s3
Not as much rom/kernel options as the S3/S4 but similar issues apply...
HTC, just like samsung, seem to hold back some sources, even after release. So... Devs have to reverse engineer.
But... Good thing is... Like the i9505, This has the qualcomm s600 and not the exynos so better options for the future.
I wouldn't read too much into the whole htc "staff shuffle" issue just yet. It may affect future devices, but not the One.
Fact is, all the best AOSP, CM, aokp devs have this phone and are working on it right now. CM runs good, Roman has an aokp rom, just in case u don't like Sense 5 . so I suppose we'll always have the stock edition on a way.
My honest opinion is... If ur looking for a good phone that looks good, feels good and sound good, and different to TW... but u can still flash decent/different stuff on for 12 months then buy it...
If you need to have this phone for longer then buy a nexus... Cause going on past history, Samsung will have a new phone next summer, and htc could drop this phone completely in 9 months in favour of their next flagship.

Well,
IMHO this is a very good phone. I agree built quality issues are there because it is not priced as the S4 is, but I've had two HTC Ones and none of them were unacceptable. You see a lot of forums/posts about it because the odd one out is always visible. It is a very good phone.... Just the one Android ecosystem wanted. It is a lifestyle thing to upgrade, I guess.
The Camera is awesome no matter what people say.
Fastest capture I've ever seen. Best low light performance. Zero Lag while using the phone. and Looks. well lets talk about something else :victory:

buy a note 2 better all rounder :good:

Just got my black One a few weeks ago, I had a stuck pixel that fixed itself. Other than that it is flawless. You'll love it.
My wife got the gs4 so I get a comparison from time to time, I'm happy about my choice the camera is great, it never lags its nice knowing it can handle anything you throw at it. Battery life is miles ahead most phones atm even with the 1080p gorgeous screen.
Oh and that htc tv app is simply amazing, I don't even know where my tv remote is anymore not even joking.

Yeh I'm choosing between GS4 and HTC One. I have an Incredible S right now so I'm looking for an upgrade. Sense 5 looks much closer to stock android than previous. I like the solid feel of HTC phones however GS4 also looks nice and has good specs. Is it really much better than the s3 though?
Tricky desision..any suggestions ?

My phone is not perfect if you examine it from up real, realy close, there are tiny gaps but if there hadn' t been a thread here in XDA I never would have noticed. The screen is gorgeous, it makes my HOXscreen look dull and yellow in comparison
It also seems HTC is in the verge of bankruptcy. They're not doing too well sales wise and top executives are leaving.

HTC still never reported a loss but their profits have been going down but it takes more than a few bad quarter for a company to go down. And it' s normal especially for companies traded on a exchange to switch management if the management doesn' t meet its targets. HTC will be here in next year...

[Q] HTC One VS. Old Android phone?

Don't get me wrong, I love my HTC one, I've had it for a week or so now, and it's a vast improvement from my HTC Evo 3D. That being said, was it worth the 2 year contract and $200(What I had to pay) for the upgrade? To be honest, I don't think so. The HTC 3D was a fantastic phone, really didn't lag, and I had Holo Locker and Apex Launcher installed to give it that jellybean look(I also have this installed on my One).
The reason I had upgraded was that I just turned 18, so I could legally have my own contract, and my power button completely came off the circuit board on my evo. I was not about to replace the button or get another evo.
I was just wondering if anyone feels like they should've waited until the next big HTC phone(Samsung phones feel too cheap!) or if the HTC one was the way to go!

I had a Samsung GS4 i9500 before buying the One and I felt it was a big improvement

Not a vast improvement over the Evo 3D?
You must be joking. It's like night and day.
And the Evo 3D was a lag fest, I don't know what phone you were using lol

I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's an upgrade, a huge one? Absolutely not lol. Enough for me to be happy with the 650$ purchase? Yes. You must be very easy to please OP, I wish I was.

I meane it is a vast improvement, but if I had the choice of my power button not breaking and keeping my 3D over buying a new phone i wouldve kept the 3D. it never lagged for me, and did everything I need no problems, I'm sure MANY people had problems with the 3D, but I never did and it was great for what I needed it for.

I bought the One X at release and loved it.
I bought the One at release and love it.
I'll probably buy the next big thing at release and love it.
I can afford to and I'm a phone geek.
You seem to be closer to the other end of the scale.

I still think the best device ever was the Nexus 1 made by HTC.
It was not aluminum but Teflon which felt premium quality too,the trackball colors was great for missed calls and sms

From my Desire HD? This thing is amazing

Im confused?
Just asked a simple question for the community, am confused with the insults, but thats for the more mature comments those of you who had left them.

I jumped from my HTC Wildfire to a One.
After finding out Nexus4 is 200€ I regret it a little =(

I'm kinda regretting it... I love the phone but I could have stayed with the gnex another year for sure.

I got it as a replacement for my HTC Sensation, and it's a huge improvement. Everything launches so fast, and BoomSound is great!

24x24€ and i came from HTC 8S .
Very happy!

Agree 100%. Came from my Sensation. Its lightspeed quicker.

I love the aluminum alloy body on the One, the power of the Snapdragon 600 SoC and the amazing screen, although as predicted by myself when I bought my HTC One five months ago, I now wish I had been patient enough to wait for the 64 GB version to become available.
I know also that as soon as something very similar comes on the market with a Snapdragon 800 powering it that I will be unlikely to avoid the temptation to upgrade a perfectly good phone after a mere .......six months ?

Shoots self in head... the SGN was such a great phone wrapped in a awful package.
The screen sucked, speakers and mics sucked, camera sucked, signal sucked, battery sucked a little less... but the OMAP 4460 was a great processor it 'almost' made up for the rest.
To be completely honest with the OP though, no one can answer that question for you. To me the Moto X is a step back, to others its a leap forward from the One. Each person is different and ha different values

I'd stick with it. It's amazing and it'll get better and better the more you use it

I also come from the HTC sensation , and the performance difference is light years. the one would have been perfect if HTC kept the option for exchanging the battery and a sd card slot.... yet everything is perfect,but what happens if the battery becomes weak ? questionable if HTC would replace the battery under warranty....

i came from s4 i9500 octa and i think my one is a rocket in terms of speed and fluidity
