Should i upgrade from HTC one x?

I bought my HTC one x last summer and love it but i really like the new htc one, do ye think it be worth to upgrade to it?

You just gotta try it out, no one can tell you whether it'll be worth it for you to upgrade

I really hate these threads.
But anyway, if you have a one x like moi, its not really worth it, we`ll have sense 5 (some version of it anyway) in a few months, so whats the point in spending all that money for not a lot extra.
On the other hand I have it on order, but I spend too much money, a habit I need to resolve.

I had the one x+, No have the One - No regrets.
The One is more than just sense 5. It's a whole new ball game :good:

I just orderd the HTC one im probably stupid as hell to be paying money for a new phone since i have the htc one x, tried talking my self out of it but did not work ha.

Well my thing is the speakers... fed up of not being able to hear video without headphones unless im watchin the back of my phone.
Still 500 quid is a lot for 2 little speakers.

Definitely a good upgrade for me. I had the one X and the One is just faster and has better battery life. Not to mention the speakers. I did however prefer the One X's camera. In terms of build quality.. Both phones are rugged and tbh I'm not afraid to go caseless on both. I can't really see the difference in screen quality - the one X was just that good.
The biggest seller for me is definitely the look of the phone. I've been waiting for the day when there's an android phone as good looking as the iPhone. The One actually looks better. (I got the black and it looks sleek).
I think the One X could have lasted me another year, but I had the money so I just went for it. It's what you prefer that matters. I suggest going to a store and trying it out. Watch a whole load of review videos on YouTube (although you probably have ;D). Good luck!

does anyone regret getting this phone?

I do a bit, it's not a bad phone. Just not many custom roms. I should of researched it before, but I know now lol. I should of spent the extra 100 and get the one X at the time. I will probably keep the phone and use it for 1 more year as my main phone, what about everyone else?
also thanks to homeslice for sense4 and the all the other devs that have supported this phone.:good:

I regret it a little as well becasue of the low amount of devolpment for the phone but Homeslice's Sense 4.1 rom makes it alright. Hope that there will be a 4.2 rom for it.

Yeah I regret it a little too. I remember standing in the store debating between the vivid or the skyrocket. I kind of wish I got the skyrocket....
But I only have another month and I can get a new phone...what to get???

lil bit. i also wish i had bought the one x at the time i got mine. but im happy with what we have. even if its not much. big thanks to the devs. :good:

Yep, very much so.
I got it on launch day, but I was deciding between the regular SGS2 and the Raider. Going off of the presence of LTE, a friend's opinion of the DHD, and how solidly built that phone was, I decided to give HTC my business. A huge mistake. The build isn't holding up as well as the DHD's is (I have since bought my friend's DHD, as he upgraded to a SGS3, and use it as my DD), as I have noticeable bronzing of the volume and power buttons, along with the clear coat chipping off the plastic near said buttons. This is only after about 8 months (and no drops) of active DD use, not even the two years (and four drops) that the DHD has endured. Sense 3.x is also nowhere nearly as nice as Sense 2.1. Another huge issue is that the DHD can easily make a full day with moderate to heavy usage; my Raider's battery lasts 8 hours maximum, regardless of usage.

Yes I do. There was a decent development community before the dev wars and then they all went their separate ways leaving the Vivid to die. Some devs have their own sites but the reason I bought this phone was because of the hype behind it. First we had a locked bootloader, then s-off took months to achieve, then dev wars. I'll be MUCH more selective with what phone I will buy from now on as a result. Not buying right away and certainly not buying from ATT will be on my checklist from here on out. Homeslice and WC have done an excellent job keeping this device alive throughout the crisis. I love Sense but cannot justify buying HTC with all of the hoops you have to jump through to use the device the way you want to. Here's to hoping the next phone I buy will be friendlier.

Got the phone, no I don't regret it mostly because of the LTE capability. At the time I was looking at the Raider, Atrix 2 and the Vivid. All things considered (like HTC/ATT's upgrade software once and forget you policy) I probably should have gone with the Atrix, but I was an HTC lover at the time (having had the original Tilt and Tilt 2).
Next phone however will not be an HTC. I don't like the HTC One XL (no SD storage) and being able to get the ability to flash a custom Rom is increasingly becoming a pain in the ass with HTC. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I regret it even now. I've replaced both me and my wife's vivids with nexus 4s but we're still under contract for the things till next year. I wanted the one x, but got sick of waiting on an announcement for it so I was considering just a regular non lte gs2. A friend of mine said lte was awesome, so I looked at the skyrocket instead and it was $199, the vivid was $99 and had damn near identical specs so I went for it. Loved it initially but after about 2 or 3 months of terrible battery life I decided I was going to buy whatever nexus phone came out Christmas time.

No I don't regret it.
I came from Garminfone where there's ZERO developer community to the Raider/Vivid. Whatever there is here is more than I had
LTE: I don't have a data plan anymore as of this morning. I did have unlimited LTE with Bell in Canada for 6 months, but did not use it enough to warrant $60/month for the data plan after the free 6th month. WiFi will have to suffice for the 2 years left in my contract.
The phone has been fun to play with, but feature wise, I've grown bored with it.

I don't regret getting this phone at all. There may have been phones at the time that had "better" hardware (the stock rom on the GS2 is super smooth) but the coders who work, or have worked, on the Vivid have done an absolutely amazing job.
Remember back when CM was just a pipe dream? Now it's functional (with a few kinks, but I'm confident the devs can figure that stuff out.)
I haven't tried many roms, but from what I've experienced they beat the stock rom by a nearly infinite amount.
HTC made a great phone with the Vivid. If you don't believe me, stop by xda in a few months and compare the current state of development with what you are witnessing. Eyes wide open, jaw dropped I'd imagine.

Let me share my experience that so far I have got with this phone.
My last phone was the HTCOX, and I believe the camera resolution was way more better than this one.
Unless I'm applying wrong settings, I don't see to get good pix. They are coming too pixelated.
What do you think?

I don't regret getting the phone, it being my first android phone and all, I've loved using the phone. Sure there's not enough development going on for it but the developers that are actually doing things for this phone are doing great jobs. It is strongly built, the only body flaw is the bronzing of the volume keys and lock button. The hardware is still up to standard. All in all a decent phone

I am very glad I got this phone. It has been solid, reliable and has done everything I've ever asked it to do. I was fortunate to fall in with WC early on as a vivid beta tester. I am currently running a beta ROM (might not be publicly released) from WC and it is incredible. Fast, stable and outstanding battery life.
I foresee this phone carrying me through for another two years at least.
This fall I will ditch my overpriced AT&T service plan and hook into either the T-Mo $30 plan or the Straight Talk $45 plan. The money I save will go toward a new unlocked phone down the road.

I really don't hate htc anymore. And that's why I regret that phone. Didn't look into the fine details, I seriously believed it to be HTCs flagship device on at&t. Nope, it was the budget friendly lte phone. It didn't make a big splash nor was it intended too, just a phone with a $99 price tag intended to sway holiday shoppers.
For every galaxy s that comes out, Samsung releases 200 crap models, and as for htc? The sensation was the flagship, the vivid was your Samsung Galaxy ace. Nuff said.

That's exactly what happend to me. Best buy had this for for 0 dollars and on 3 year contract and plus and 100 gift card so I immediately bought it without much thought since it was my first android phone.

The thing is that this was the flagship phone and was marketed as such. In SF there were billboards everywhere with this phone along with lte branding everywhere. It was being sold for 200 on contract for 3 weeks and because it didn't sell well they dropped the price to move more units. 3 months later the one X dropped and this phone faded into the sunset. I even wrote to HTC wondering why our phone was booted to the legacy section after 3 months and they gave me the runaround. The HTC M4 will likely release in another couple of months. And will be for a larger audience because of its smaller size. HTC never changed. They won't be wasting my time or getting my money any longer.

I don't think it means much that it was on a billboard, I mean at&t is marketing the hell out of the HTC first right now, I wouldn't consider it a flagship by any means.

It was all over the city and they had TV commercials all over the bay area for it as well. At the time, Verizon was the only carrier with an active LTE network and ATT needed this flagship phone, the first LTE phone, to get in the consumers hands. They handled the support for this phone poorly plain and simple.

Yeah but wasn't the skyrocket released along side it? The lg nitro was right around the same time too. The nitro was the same price when I bought it but I wasn't sure I trusted LG. Go figure, now I'm using an LG, and love it.

Yeah they both came out at about the same time. Looking forward to the next Nexus regardless though. LG has done well with their handsets

Going from Silver HTC One to Galaxy S4 and back to Black HTC One

I contemplated not writing this. In tech sometimes we require so much perfection, we forget what's actually important to us. Furthermore we forget that any software issue can be conquered by the great devs here at XDA. With the fear of sounding hypocritical, here's why I found myself going back to the HTC One after a short two week affair with the S4.
I had very real issues with my silver HTC One. The S4 was the answer to those issues. After a couple weeks with the S4 I really missed one thing about the HTC One - the camera. I have 2 babies and after missing several pictures of them over the past couple weeks I became very frustrated with the slow launch and slow picture taking of the S4. I was enjoying all the other features but this was beginning to stick in my crawl. So I really researched the issues I was having with the HTC One. I found out that the brightness quick toggle was solved through Viper Rom and menu button was easily mapped to a short hold of the back button.
Now I had a problem because I was torn between going back to the HTC one (most of which for me all had build issues) or staying with the S4 and waiting for developement to speed up camera and some of the overall lag I was experiencing. So I went out to Best Buy and decided to check out a black HTC One. I don't know if it's simply because the manufacturing was updated or refined but it was perfect. Zero gaps, seemless bezel and no dead or stuck pixels. Having only one trade left at best buy I made the leap and swapped back to the HTC One. I think this was a great decision. Again a big factor was the camera, being able to post edit my shots - remove people from the background and make a drama shot without having to put it in that mode before shooting the picture is really fast and convenient. I in one day caught 3 great pictures that I would have needed to adjust settings on BEFORE taking with the S4. Pictures I think I would have missed with the S4. Also I didn't realize how different (brighter and somewhat crisper) the HTC One screen was. There will of course be sacrifices with the HTC One, no swappable battery, awkward placement of power button and no multi-window. But, the tradeoff is one I'm ok with. Black HTC One made the difference for me.

No offense, but wall of text is extremely hard to read.
Welcome back, I think?

Thanks, I broke it up a little. I honestly am glad to be back. I had some issues with the HTC one and panicked a little but with this new one I'm definitely enjoying HTC and especially glad to have ZOE back. It's really a standout feature.

I am about to end my remorse period and am 50-50 on the phone. Love it but gets too hot and eats too much battery sometimes (I'm a light user). I like it but I also got a SGS4 for my friend and I keep staring at it...
So, why panic mode? Thinking of returning... or?

Glad I can help. This has been a hard decision for me but I'm glad to finally settle with the HTC One and think I've made the best decision for me.
In my opinion, figure out a way to swap for the black. I don't know if it's because of a refined manufacturing process, Better materials or what - but the difference between the two colors is night and day. No misfires pushing the back or home buttons and no gaps anywhere. I'll post pics when I get home. If you bought from sprint and go in to change color they'll charge a restocking fee. I would recommend pointing out a flaw with the silver (I'm sure you probably have one) and ask to change to a black one as you have heard reports of better assembly and less issues. If you bought from Best Buy or the like you can swap without fee's. That's why I almost exclusively by phones from Best Buy now.

I agree, Best Buy was the way to go for me. Ended up getting data error 104 all the time on my first one.....exchanged the phone 6 times per sprint techs requests before I figured out they had my SIM ID incorrect on my account. The One (silver) I have is absolutely perfect now.

I spent less then a week with the S4 before I gave in to my overwhelming felling of missing an HTC device. I liked some of the features but the phone just felt cheap and the Sprint service in my area doesn't seem to play well with Samsung Phones. Lots of dropped calls and frequent signal fluctuations. Love the ONE very happy I made the switch...

Farewell Guys

Well i got the galaxy s4 yesterday so i will no longer be using the vivid. im gonna miss its horrible battery life, shoddy sense 3.6 ui, etc. but im gonna mis you guys. farewell.:crying:

How is the Nexus 4 on AT&T? do you get HSPA? or is it strictly 2g/EDGE?

Yeah I get hspa+, usually 6-12mb, it's not bad at all. Just make sure they don't mess with your plan and put the apn in from your vivid, otherwise you'll get stuck on the regular 3G plan. At&t did that to my wife.
Actually it was a big mess. I got mine in January, and I needed a micro sim. I went to the store, and the manager ended up taking care of me, and she gave me a micro sim, didn't mess with my account, and I was on my way. Well when my wife got hers in march, same thing went in there for a micro sim, but got a regular employee this time. When we got back her data wouldn't work at all! So I checked the account, and for whatever reason the idiot deleted her data plan all together! So I call at&t and get it back but they put her on the regular 3G plan for smartphones and the Vivid apn wouldn't even connect! Finally I talked to an employee on live chat the next day and got them to put her back on the lte plan!
So make sure they don't tamper with your account! Either that or get a sim cutter and try it out!

I've been thinking about getting either the Nexus 4 or the LG optimus G. Basically the same phone, I have another year on my contract but the Vivid is quickly dying out. After that I will probably jump to Tmobile as it will be cheaper than AT&T even with my corporate discount.

Yeah the nexus 4 was a no brainer for me, I was sick of my vivid, and I am under contract until march 2014, so it was the cheapest option. It's a nice phone especially for the price. But its not perfect either, I will warn you. Camera is a downgrade from the vivid, it doesn't suck, and in well lit rooms the camera is just as nice. But in low light, the vivid owns it. Also build quality doesn't suck but it's not built as nice as the vivid. It seems well built out of the box, but there are gaps between the screen and bezel that tend to get dust stuck in them and over time the back glass develops a slight creaking sound to it. Also the chrome around the outside edges gets scuffed, poor design choice imo, should of used a flat silver instead.
Figured I'd lay it to you straight. It's an excellent phone but it's not perfect. And make sure you get a case if you get one, back glass is very slick and the phone tends to make suicide dives on its own when you just sit it down. Happened to me twice, luckily, no damage.

When my wife's Galaxy 2 Skyrocket got its SECOND upgrade (originally Gingerbread, upgraded to ICS, then upgraded to Jellybean) and when HTC said that the Vivid would NOT get an upgrade to Jellybean, that was what made my mind up that this was the last HTC phone that I would own. I've had three, but I am done with HTC. That S4 looks sooooo good!

I thought the same thing this is the last htc i will buy.

My Optimus G arrives Friday, looks like just in time as the forum is dying again (the 2nd time since I have had my Vivid.)

Yeah the phone is getting old and people are getting their early upgrades now. If cyanogenmod would of came last summer, development might still be going but now, too little too late.
Lesson learned for me, if it's not a popular device, don't upgrade to it. Yeah at first I was happy but a couple months in, the honeymoon was over and the bugs of sense 3.6 that were never address, terrible battery life, and no actual roms outside of modified stock roms had me plotting a plan to get a galaxy nexus... But by the time I had the money, the nexus 4 was out, and well that's a no brainer

Well the OPO runs GPe rom and that would put me off straight away, I love the sense overlay which HTC put on top of android, plus HTC is easy to mod, just take a look around these forums, this device is 2 years old and still very much alive and being developed around here, when I do come to upgrade in about 9 months, I will definatley go HTC again, probably the M9 depending on the deals around, we live in rip off britain at the end of the day, but HTC is the only way for me, I cant stand I-DONT-KNOW-PHONES, dont like touchwiz by Samsung, plus my Mrs Samasung Galaxy in loaded with so much rubbish its unbelievable, and not operator rubbish, its all Samsung stuff, and Sony have the slowest updates ive ever experienced.
Maybe you should s-off your M7 and stick a GPe rom on it, see if you like it before jumping into a 2 year contract which you may not like.

My phone is S-off and running MaximusHD52 lollipop but to be honest i love it and cant really fault it, i was like you going to wait on the M9 but rip off britian that we like in, i can get a great deal on a sim only ee card for £12 a month unlimited text/calls and 15gb data so if i traded my one into CEX i would get close to £100 for it, meaning i would only be £150 on top for an opo divide that into the 24 month contract and add the line rental and it works out at £18.25 a month, a heck of a saving on my current phone, and im pretty sure that the M9 will cost a fortune when it arrives.
But im not sure if i will miss my M7 too much as i said i love the phone and my only real faults with it is the battery aint the best and im still not sure im sold on the camera, even HTC aint sure on it and dropped it on the M9

yeah I know what you mean about the camera and battery, the camera is rubbish compared to other devices in its class, I always use my Mrs camera on her Samsung to take picts, that is the only good thing I can say about her Galaxy, the camera kicks HTC's rear end, as for the battery, have you ever tried this, I found it the other day and tried it, follow every instruction to the letter, it worked wonders:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ry-charger-reset-procedure-htc-one-m7-m8.html
Also, not to be a sales guy, but have a look at virgin media's sim only contracts, unlimited everything for £18 a month including 0870 / 0845 / 0800 calls etc, they use EE's network :good: its the way I will go until I can get a good price.

Well i just did the 2 mins of resetting to see how it goes, although in 5.0.2 i cant see any fast boot options, or am i being stupid ?

I have an M8 and an M7 and the M8 is a solid upgrade to the M7. The great part is everything you like about an M7 is also right their in the M8
and most the stuff you didn't get in the M7 is included in an M8. Duel rear camera - Eye experience - ZOE - External SDcard - bigger screen - bigger battery - it's really everything the M7 should have been.

Being an user of m7 for nearly one year, I still love my m7, first of all is the gorgeous design, then what impresses me is the back camera, the screenshots taken are clear and brilliant, and for the battery, it's durable for me to use in a whole day.
