Looking forward to my first Android phone and wondering... Will ROMs developed for the One X also work for the XL?
Not sure if I can give up on my ORD from my Windows Mobile days...

I really doubt it since the roms and kernels are made for different cpu/gpu's.
Not to mention that roms will have to take in consideration the different radios such as 4g.
So no
Okay. I have to disagree with the idea that they won't.
They may not work directly, but adding LTE and processor support really isn't that hard of a thing to do ( as far as I am aware ). I'm relatively sure at some point, there will be a firmware cooker that will add those automatically to One X roms to make them compatible.

Different processor. The LTE isnt the issue. Its going from an Nvidia quad core 3 to a Qualcomm S4 Krait dual core. Completely different hardware that will require different drivers and paths.
Perhaps there will be a hellraiser package of some sort that will inject the drivers that we need, and be able to use, but the short answer is probably not at this time.
Hellraiser! That's exactly what I had in mind when I was saying what I did. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
However, I do hope a hellraiser kind of thing will released for the two.
Yep, different chipsets...no way they'll be compatible out of the box.
But it's likely that the people making the roms will make a version for both AT&T and International. As they've done w/ a lots of other phone's w/ different chips.
There's probably be a US team member, and a Intl team member working on those parts.
I can only hope.
Thanks!
Thanks for all the responses... Really looking forward to this phone but may hold off just a tad to see how ROM dev goes. I purposely held off on the vivid waiting for some quad core goodness, so I am disappointed that AT&T is not getting the international version. But, I understand why.

All our US guys, me included are buying the ONE X from the UK. I don't see the two phones ever being compatible rom wise (one x & one xl). fcc cleared the international version to be shipped to the US and can run fine on AT&T's radios. so It's a no brainer for me to get the quad core model. I can live with out LTE

I find it slightly nonsensical that people are buying into the quadcore hype when Krait is faster than Tegra 3, clock for clock, core for core.
It bugs the crap out of me... really. That means that just because of that the US is going to lose some major development. and I don't know if that's worth another $300 out of my pocket...
I think people are missing something here, because in actuality development will be split upon two different fronts.
The One X will be an EU/Asia HSPA+ phone, but the One XL will be used internationally, with the only difference between each XL is the radio bands.
It doesn't matter there's still radio differences and processor differences. It's a completely different SoC. That makes it difficult to transpose between devices(I would assume).
I'm thinking the One X will get most of the dev support. One XL has to many strikes out the gate. One XL will probably have a later release date its going to be releaesd to a smaller portion of the world population.

The problem is that the world is turning LTE into a major clusterfuck of radio bands to support, there's already 4 bands for GSM, 5 bands of WCDMA, and something like 4 bands of LTE in the US alone.
There's definitely a mess of bands in North America.
Verizon: 700 MHz - and their phones are CDMA/LTE dual
AT&T: 700 and AWS - their phones are GSM/HSPA/LTE triple
MetroPCS: 1900 and AWS - their phones are CDMA/LTE dual
Sprint (planned): 1900 including G-Block - their phones will be CDMA/LTE dual, with maybe one CDMA/Wimax/LTE hotspot
Note that the Verizon and AT&T 700 MHz LTE service is on different channels in 700 MHz, so they will not be compatible. Hooray.
Globally, LTE is expected be deployed on 38 different radio bands.

If you're concerned about the lack of development (and dont care about LTE) this is the way to go. The X and XL will both be popular here at XDA, but for those of you that want the most popular/supported device you might want to think about the One X.
And yes, most One X chefs will eventually whip up an XL version of their build but my guess is it wont be right away..

Are the people who are getting the X instead of the XL buying it unlocked? Because I would get the X and sacrifice LTE if I can get it for the same price. My contract is over in May so I was going to use my upgrade on this.

We will be buying them unlocked. It won't be the same price. The AT&T One X will be at least $549.99 off contract. The lowest price I have seen for the International T3 One X is $675.50 from Negri Electronics.

So after reading the Engadget review of the One X, I've become intrigued with the differences between the Canadian and AT&T versions of the One X. Searched and didn't see anything referencing this directly. The article says LTE should work fine on both AT&T and Canuck networks.
So, besides saying HTC at the top instead of AT&T and I suppose having Rogers bloatware instead of the usual AT&T crap, is there any other difference?

The moment we have a ROM granting that functionality, I am flashing. I do not live in an LTE area
First world problems....
Also, another difference is the ability to tether freely. Not that I use this feature. However, it would be nice.
I believe the AT&T model lacks the ability of a LTE on/off toggle, tethering and a few optings in the camera like time lapse (I think there might be one othere, not sure though).
I think most things we will be able to rip out of the International model or the Rogers model and cram them into the AT&T version. Also, Im sure custom roms will add all of these features back in.

Yes, it will, I have a Rogers One X and used the micro sim from the AT&T One X in it. But the trick is getting them to add the LTE data plan to your account. If you already have an AT&T branded LTE device, then you shouldn't have a problem. But good luck getting them to add an LTE data plan to your account if you don't. They insist on using IMEI numbers now to determine which data plans you can add to the account. Your best bet is to borrow or buy a cheap LTE AT&T phone, get your data plan switched to an LTE one, get a micro sim, get them to activate it on your non-micro sim device ,and then switch the micro SIM to your Rogers One X.
It is possible, just a PITA.

The AT&T version of the One X has a snapdragon dual core processor as opposed to the international version that has the Nvidia Tegra quad core processor. This is due to the Tegra processor not being compatible with LTE .http://www.att.com/onex/
Does anyone know if the external measurements of the two One X's are the same?

Between the LTE ones yes. International and LTE ones are different
Both the Canadian(Rogers) One X and US(AT&T) One X are the Same Device other than the sofware running on it, and the lithographed branding under the glass at the top (one say's htc, the other AT&T printed backwards on the underside of the glass)
Both are the PJ8310000
If there was a variation in the hardware one would have a different digit in this number
like the Telus DHD and Inspire 4G for example
both same device, different housing (for branding) <- why it got the different number
Telus DHD was PD9814000 and the Inspire 4G was PD9812000 (International was PD9810000)
THE CANADIAN AND U.S. ONE X'S ARE THE EXACT SAME DEVICE.
THEY ARE INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN AS THE 'ONE XL'
THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS THE SOFTWARE ON IT.
(that includes software customization, rf channel configs, dz data, etc...)

when you guy's get root, you'll be able to swap the services.jar, services.apk and get the same thing for yourselves.
ps: other than the boot/down annimations - being pointed to by ../CID/default.xml, the 'scene' addidion/layout in ../MNS/default.xml (both the customize folder), and carrier apps, the rogers rom is vanilla.
I'm not familiar with the Rogers software. I'm in the US and eyeing a Rogers version, if I were to get one from say Negri, does it have FREE wifi hotspot?

From what I have seen, when you are not in an LTE area the LTE is disabled and doesn't kill your battery. It's still be nice to have a toggle though.

AT&T version is dual core, international is quad core. The AT&T version has 16 gigs of storage whereas the international version has 32.
Do you want a AT&T One X in particular or just a Evita from North America?
Rogers, Telus and such all have the same phone but have less restrictions.
Also you could buy an Evita from many places in the world but you need to take care with what LTE frequencies it supports. If you are in NA you should buy a NA phone.

So for sure I am getting a HTC One X, but when., I am planning to get it in the near future, may be in another 2 weeks, but is it a good time to get it here in Sri Lanka, because I heard that the first few batches had so many faults, screen flexes and many. SO guys should I get it now or should I wait, until the new batches release that is HT25 or anything like that, which batch should I get????

People keep saying this, its false. The AT&T One X is compatible with HSPA 2100 MHz (Band I), which is used for 3G in many parts of the world, including Sri Lanka. I was just roaming in Germany, and can verify that 3G works just fine on 2100 MHz.
People are confusing Band I with Band IV (split 1700/2100 MHz) that T-Mobile US uses for 3G. Band IV is supposedly supported in hardware on this phone, but not in software (although many T-Mob users are hoping for a hack for this).
Can someone please give me help on making my mind up.
Right now I'm using Desire S.
I'm a fan of HTC and on the way for a change.
The One Series comes in 3 handsets
One X
One S
One V
If you have the choice I'd go for the One S, Its a better phone with better processing power than the One V - And in benchmarks the One S even defeats the One X !!
Thats not to say the One V is a bad phone, But obviously with choice, you choose the 'better' one
I wouldn't choose the v. It is a VERY small upgrade from your current phone
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Like Habarug said, the V is just not too much of an upgrade. If you dont want the S or X, then hang on to your Desire for a while.
Between the S and the X, one is not objectively better or worse than the other.
The X is bigger, has a 720HD lcd screen, has more storage.
The S is smaller (and fits better in your hand), has a qHD amoled screen, looks and feels more premium.
Go to a shop and hold them side by side.
Overall performance and feature wise you won't be disappointed with either one.
-Jobo
Yeah I agree the S is better to hold,
I've been reading few posts above n ppl talking abt batt issues. What's with that?
Is it cause the 1.7 GHz is draining more than One X ?

I don't know where you're from but in much of the world there are two versions of the One S, popularly referred to as the S3 (1.7GHz) and S4 (1.5GHz) versions based on the Snapdragon branding of the processor. The S4 is far more desirable in all ways if you can get it where you live.
Also the One X is available with different processors depending on where you live. The One S is my pick and a nice piece of kit, try to get the S4 version, there are threads here detailing the differences and which custom ROMs are available for each device.

Hi,
If I guess correctly, you are from India like me. In India, only the S3 1.7ghz version of one s is being sold, which definately have some battery issues due to older generation processor overclocked.
I'd recommend that if you can get someone to buy the handset from UK or other EU countries where primarily the S4 version is sold (be sure to check version no etc first) that would be better. I got mine from UK few days back and its an S4 version.I'd nt recommend the One S version available in Indian retail store because there is a vast difference between performance and battery life between S3 and S4 versions which cannot be overlooked.
Hope this helps !!!
Thanx dev. I should be in UK next week. So I'm looking for S4 then. I checked in HK and they have S3-1.7 GHz.
What's with One X ? Are there any variants to look for?
Htc one x international and Uk version although comes with a quad core tegra processor there are couple of issues like overheating and wifi which make it less user-friendly for common user, also consider the large size due to bigger screen.
If u use cdma then US sprint network's htc evo 4g lte is the best smartphone in the world right now (yes better than galaxy s3). however for gsm i guess One S would be the better bet considering its premium design and comfortable size.
PS: try to get the black coloured one s. Its the only one which is made using famous micro-arc oxidation method making it super strong.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
agree with azzledazzle ... htc one S is better than one V as the stats differ a lot ...and if ur indian ..if my guess is ryt then better dont go for either HTC one S or X coz they get the obsolete S3 processors which are overclocked and given..my friend has a htc one X he got Overheating probs and the back cover is slightly bulged ... even m using one S but got the T-Mobile one with S4..its way better and no overheating too !!
I'd get the One X if I was you, its really not to hard to hold in one hand, its perfectly fluid and smooth... The screen looks amazing and running CM10 my phone has hardly got warm (Except intensive games such as Asphalt 7) which is to be expected. I've had no build defects or issues. The best reason for me though is how much nicer it looks over the One S (This of course is my subjective opinion) Oh and the ROM development is great!

XL is the US version for CDMA and X is the GSM version. XL has the dual core S4 processor which is the same what is on the One S as well. X has quad core Tegra 3 processor. What comes to performance, they are pretty equal so doesn't really matter that much which one you take.

Errrr. No
One XL is the lte capable version of the One X. The main difference is the processor, it has the dual core S4. The North American carriers (At&t, Rogers, and Telus) market it as the One X to confuse things. All of these carriers have 16gb of storage, like the One S. The Aussie and German versions have 32 gb like the tegra 3 powered version. ALL are gsm/hspa/lte carriers. The only cdma carrier (Sprint) has a new evo, based loosely on the One X but with an S4 processor, and removable battery and expandable sd storage.
Once again, the XL IS NOT a cdma variant, that is the evo series for Sprint only.
Basically:
One X, quad core tegra 3, 32gb storage
One XL, dual core snapdragon S4, with lte, marketed in the U.S. and Canada as the One X!!!!!! 16 or 32gb storage depending on where you live
To confuse things more, Verizon is rumered to release a "One X+" gsm/hspa+ (no lte) quad core tegra 3 clocked at 1.7ghz.

The One X, is as you said, quad core tegra 3, 32gb storage
The cdma version is offered by Sprint as the Evo series. The latest has the S3 processor, shares the image sense camera, but offers a removable battery and sd card storge.

Hi,
Now, if you are an international buyer and you thinking of getting the AT&T HOX, here is some information you should be aware of:
1. Do not buy manufacturer refurbished. Apparently AT&T are relocking those phones and you cannot get the unlock codes anywhere. Period! I have the HOX and all I can do is stare at it since an unlock code is not available.
I had started another thread on the same here:

2. Devs are working on a method here:

Thanks for the heads up!
I dont get what this thread is even really about.
AT&T One X is locked. That is well known.
Why would international buyers be interested in refurbed AT&T stock versus refurb other stock?
The exact same applies for importing brand new stock.
I doubt the typical international user is at all interested in buying AT&T stock new or old. They would be typically buying local stock or from markets known to be open, eg everything else.
AT&T new = locked
AT&T old = locked
That is well known through the other million threads and blogs about it, how is this thread news to anyone? If they didnt find the other million posts and blogs, they wont find this one either...
This thread offers no new info its just a rehash on the fact AT&T One X is locked.
I think he is trying to say that there is no IMEI unlock for AT&T refurbished One X?

why an international user would buy a US branded phone and want to unlock it rather than buying an unlocked model is what I'm struggling with.
Hmmm comparing with international One X, the ATT branded One X is cheaper I guess..

Yeah the at&t is a lot cheaper. Plus for me, benches matter a lot. The quad international version is on the same level as the dual s4 version. And the s4 actually beats the quad in some benches....

The phone known as the AT&T One X is sold international as the HTC One XL in Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Canada and possibly other markets. In Germany and Australia it actually has 32gb internal storage instead of 16gb.
All of this is already in many reviews, blogs, XDA threads and plastered all over the net.
Users would just buy the phone from those markets if they want an unlocked phone.
The AT&T version being locked and only having 16gb internal storage makes sense to why you might find it cheaper.
It is not news that AT&T One X is locked, it has been very widely reported.
If a user confuses what an International One X, AT&T One X or a HTC One XL is they have not done anywhere near enough research to be importing or unlocking phones.
One more thread in XDA is not going to help those foolish enough to have clearly not done their homework on what they are buying.
It's like the users that come in weekly crying because they tried to flash ROM's for the international One X on to their One XL after the huge amounts of warnings not to do that. It's sad that people have destroyed their expensive phone but they are doing it to themselves by being lazy and not reading first.
Does 3G work fine?

Arey you facing any problem with the phone...especially Android updates and 3G connectivity?? Please let me know...it will of gr8 help..Thank You..
I do a lot of research before purchasing anything....
@chaitanya if you get it unlocked, no problem. And if your carrier supports the at&t bands for 3g, you will get 3g

One very important thing first. Please make sure you are aware if your phone is S4 (dual core, aka one xl) or Tegra 3 (quad core) before flashing anything. S4 is att/rogers/telstra (basically the forum you are in). Tegra 3 is the international version.
In the past, Canadians had what were referred to as international phones (gsm), but not with the one xl.
If you look around you will see that flashing the wrong firmware has been a serious problem.
Enjoy!

Att is gsm
I like the idea of a sim card. Down with Verizon! Lol
Kenny, if you flash anything for the other phone, there is a chance yours will never work again. Don't be a victim

Yes, I know. I was just saying that a with a lot of other phones gsm is considered an international phone.
For example, TMo had the G2, which was cdma, and the Desire Z was the "international" (gsm) model. So in the past, HTC has a history of just the two variants being categorized that way.

Hmm... As for hidden suprises, not knowing if your phone is the dual or quad core will really mess you up (as said above) lol.
The keyboard is kinda cool since you can swipe with it. That was new to me. It's also suprising how fast the phone is once you put jellybean sense on it.
Gotta use twrp instead of cwm.
Screen is kinda easy to break so don't drop your phone.

Concidering quad cores aren't supported on Canadas network, I know I have the duel core model, plus it says it on the box , as for the screen break, I really gotta go get me a case soon lol

Happy holidays.
As far as tips and tricks.
If you love Sense try VenomXL
If you love AOSP try JellyBam.
Those are the best tricked out roms with awesome performance.

I think you are getting some things mixed up. Tmobile's network has never, ever been CDMA. The major CDMA carriers in the US are Verizon and Sprint.
The G2 had WCDMA, which is in reference to it's data and not the voice network. WCDMA is also known as UMTS and is found on many GSM phones.
Point being, GSM does not suggest that the phone is international by any means. Also, the TMo G2 had a SIM card (of course, this was because it was a GSM phone).
G2 = GSM phone = US Version
Desire Z = GSM phone = International Version
Oh, also to clear up any other confusion, the HTC One XL on ATT/Rogers/Telstra as well as the international One X are all also GSM and all have SIM cards.

Ah, you are right. Thanks for clarifying. Sorry for the misinformation. My bad.
Edit: just deleted all that because I can summarize it in one or two sentences.
Some people have the misconception that gsm and international are interchangeable. I was only trying to address that, esp. Because its been a blurry issue for some Canadian users.

If his phone says "AT&T" at the top of the screen... It's the HTC One XL. Dual core is At&T us version. Quad-core is international...
If he got an HTC one x plus.... Then I'm jelly lmao

There's not much to be jelly about except the storage amount
More storage would be awesome though... I can only keep two or three backups with 16gb, because they're like 1-2 gb themselves... Anyway, to the OP, Otterbox is a great case, and CM10 is an awesome ROM.

one piece of advice, flash a jellybean rom as soon as possible, it kicks ICS's butt.
Do not upgrade to software 2.20. If you have AT&T and your software number is 1.85, stay there! This was my first mistake and now I have to flash boot.imgs manually.
