I've put my X10i in for repair twice now because it kept rebooting until it couldn't even get to the SE splash screen.
I've been offered a new replacement but not of an X10i because they're "hard to get hold of". Instead I can get a Samsung Galaxy S or Desire.
I did a lot of research before getting the X10, but haven't the time to find out how these handsets compare to the same level of detail. Initially it looks like they're both a bit cheaper than the X10.
Does anyone have an opinion? Is there a better match to the X10i?
I like Android, and all the modding it allows. I was pretty happy with the X10 when it worked, but sometimes it felt chuggy and the battery life really sucked.
Swap.
My sister has an x10. Only gps is better on x10. No question.
Get a Galaxy S !

Definitely Galaxy S.
Then flash the leaked JVQ firmware on it

galaxy s is definitely the better choice because it has better hardware and much better software support. the only thing you might miss is the. camera. if camera is not a concern then get it by all means.
gps working flawlessly since 2.3.3
definatelly galaxy s!
my first android was an X10i ! followed by a desire hd and a galaxy s which I still own and enjoy the most .
the X10i was the worst of them all , terrible actually and it got stuck at 2.1
Thanks guys, that was really useful. Galaxy S arriving soon

I also came from a x10a to the sgs, better in all aspects, except the gps, the gps for the sgs is very weak, this weekend went to a lake trip in the middle of the baja mountains, my friend has a x10a, i have a sgs, the two open up the gps test app, in the middle of nowhere, no phone signal, his phone got 8 or 9 sats, fix in 4 secs, mine only 3 sats and a 7 minutes fix (after two restarts). the two phones on the same spot. thats all i miss from my x10a.

yeah , that might be true when comparing out of the box standard phones ...
but did you use any available fixes on your SGS to help the GPS get a better lock ?

A normal gps first fix takes about 3mins.
This time can be improved with various augments.
If it is taking longer than 3 mins to get a fix, then you might have a problem.
Hi there,
Some users posted that they get 7 - 9 hours of screen on time with stock battery. I usually get 3.5 to max 5 hours of screen on time depending applications I use. So I'm little skeptical that the retailer where I purchased GNote might have given me fake battery.
How much screen on time do you 'really' get with full single charge ? If possible could anyone of you please attach a photo (from both sides) of your original SGNote battery ?
Best regards.
I too get 5 hours only when am reading e books
Thanks for replying. Could you please post photo of your battery, both sides ?
I have been refreshing this thread for last 30 mins, thinking to kick hell out of the retailer.
I usually get 3.5-4.5 hours of screen on time as well.. the least I've got till now is around 3hrs.I'm on stock rom unrooted...and I'm certain that my battery is original!!!
WTF I'm not able to upload pics!!!even after the picture loads 100% xda is stuck at waiting for response!! ?? :banghead:

Those who squeeze out 7-9 hrs don't use their phone at all. Your usage is quite normal.
Id say your 3.5 to 5 is about what I get too, so totally normal in my opinion.
im getting the same 3 to max (rarely) 4.5 hours screen on , normal usage with wifi and 3g on all the time....which is very good compared to my desire HD....
i am 100% convinced that this is the original battery ,i think those who get 7 hours time have everything else switched off (sync , 3g , wifi, lowest brightness , screenfilter app ...etc)...
so dont u worry about it

I don't have any problems with my device.the camera is great for taking pics with it's wide angle lens. (You can get so much into a single pic) my phone had become hot sometimes when I was on 4.2 but since upgrading to sense 4.3 (leaked) I had not had any problems with heat whatsoever

Hi,
1) I (we) don't really know, software or hardware issue... , I have not this issue personally (HTC black), maybe take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507 for more info...
Even after updated to Android 4.2.2, custom kernel, etc... I never had this pink tint...
2) No overheating here... It's clear that play an heavy game while charging and yes your One will overheated..., ambient temperature plays its role, overclocking too...
Browsing in 3/4g in sun or while charging is the same thing (even without sun/charging LOL, same thing for all phone with a beast of CPU), quadcore at 1.72 Ghz, simple... It inevitably heats but ther is a different between heat and overheat.
There is a difference between the "overheating" you feel and the real temperature of both CPU/battery checked by an app. Without any real temperature report the overheating is subjective... With stock or custom kernel I never had temperature issues.
In any case there are some overheating protection (thermal throttling) and with a custom kernel that allows some thermal settings, you can increase the thermal throttling so less heat... and even undercloked/undervolted and that can help a little...
Maybe I'm lucky and I speak, maybe, only for me, but I have no issues as above for my One (black HTC One from June)...
EDIT: ok it's not about the HTC One, but generally about overheating for a quadcore (S4). It's about the LG nexus 4 known for overheating:

After all that it depends of your usage, the One is an awesome device (I came from a Galaxy SIII and I've always my Nexus 4), but depending of your use maybe there is better. I think about pictures... In lowh light the One is far better than a Galaxy SIV, but in "normal" use... Maybe not. It's like the screen, the "formfactor", the "overlay" (Sense vs Touchwiz), etc...
I think I've been around, at least for me

I live in a very hot state in the U.S. and I browse while in the sun and listen to music as it does get hot no more than I suspect it would, in face less than expected. My sgs3 would get to 125° on the regular with the same situations, the HTC One got to 122° so far. No camera issues for me either. I say go for it, play with it for a while heavily in the conditions you're used to and make your final decision before having your 14 day (or whatever it may be for you) grace period gone.

I have no issue with the camera so can't comment on that.
The phone frequently feels warm in your hand and that's because of the aluminium body; this acts as the heatsink for the internals so the heat is transferred to the body which is actually a benefit you don't get on a plastic body. Although it can feel warm/hot in the hand a check of the temperatures will show it's well within safety limits. It can overheat doing things like gaming whilst charging or running a nav program whilst charging but in severe cases overheat protection will kick in to prevent damage.
I have a camera with purple tint issue and it is not because of heat.
Until now the issue is not resolved by HTC. Some users got a perfect camera when they bought it, but a few months later their camera became defective without any reason.
So, if camera is a main point for you, you better rethink again. Also don't forget to check after sales service in your country. In my country, it is terrible. Been waiting camara's part for almost 3 months, still no news.
You can also check purple tint thread in this forum for more info.
I have this phone for a couple of months now and I am satisfied with it but there are some things to consider.
1. The issue with the camera is difficult in a way that it is subjective, and it takes a little bit of trying to replicate. So there might be guys saying they don't have it because they simply haven't noticed it. However looking at the poll in the widely know post about that issue, clearly tells me it is a general thing, even taking into account guys that deny it. Our best bet now is that it is due to sensor overheating.
When I first saw that thread myself, I have tried what the guys were saying. Was covering the lens, was shooting dark photos and I came to conclusion that mine camera is fine, but it either grow on me or the sensor got damaged over time as now I can clearly see the issue.
2. I am using GPE rom on it and while it is very nice and all, now when I think about it - the phone is as good as the software on it. If I was living in the US and could buy Nexus 4 for that cheap I would definitely choose Nexus 4, and then with saved money update to another Google device. Here in Europe the difference in price between Nexus 4 and Htc One is not that big. That being said, if you are going to use GPE rom on it and value your money, Nexus 4 is a better option in my opinion.
However if you want better specs and want a device that will last you a little bit longer then Htc One is perfectly fine.
3. If you are not going to use GPE rom but the stock Sense one then I gotta tell you that it is very solid. It is so much better than TouchWiz that this is crazy.
4. The quality control at HTC seems to be low. If you want a perfect device with no gaps with no recessed buttons, with the display that is perfectly aligned with the rest of the body, prepare yourself that this might not happen on the first try.

Hi there,
It does "overheat" but still stays alive.
Also when u make over 500 pictures in a very short time (I did 5x 100 quick burst shot pictures) my phone heats up very much and I get that big purple dot. Goes away quick after cooling my phone down.
I also have not experienced any problems with my camera. I guess the ones that have a camera that's okay don't feel the need to comment on that thread, making it look like almost everyone has it.
And yes, it does get warm at times. It shouldn't get any hotter than, say, a Galaxy S4 (same processor, but slightly higher clocked), but it is possible that it's easier to feel because of the aluminium design. If you wouldn't feel the warmth, it'd mean all the warmth stays inside the device, which in turn is bad for the processor.

Hello,
I need to do something for the autonomy of the 4X HD, so change battery.
But they are too many batteries.
Can you help me to find the most effective ?
I have search on this forum and find it :
- 2680mah, no big case, looks good
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009C49I0I?vs=1
- 4800mah, great autonomy but so ugly !
( it : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0091...f=mp_s_a_1_2&qid=1391823307&sr=8-2&precache=1 )
(And probably another batteries...)
Can I have your opinion for do the best choice ? Thank you guys.

Yes, he's sure. With the current technologies it is impossible to fit more mAh's into the same size without compromising the quality of materials used. This may mean the first few charges a 'bigger' battery may be more effective, but it will decay so fast, that it definitely won't be worth your money. If you want to extend your battery life, you will either need an extended battery double the size or you'll just need to carry a spare one with you.

Hi
I've got this one for quite some time now (about a month) and I've got to admit, it defiantly increase the battery life compared to the stock battery that we're given. With this one, I've got about 2 hours more than the last one and I'm pretty happy with it, since I have both this one and the old one as a spare now.
