ONE X VS DESIRE S applications and navi - HTC Desire S

Hello everybody!
I am thinking in the next few moths to ugrade from DS to the One X and a friend of mine made a very good question.And I quote "Since One X does not have an SD memory card how will you transfer to ONE X the navigators and other payed applications you have installed in DS?"
I know this may sound silly to some of you but I would really appreciate if you could enlighten me.
Do you think there is a possibility not to be able to do this?

The One X have no external SD-Card, thats correct. But it still have a Flash Memory. You can still save Data on phone, but you can't expand it, because you can't replace it like SD-Card. So, no problem

The paid apps are tied to your Google account. When you login to your new phone, they will be available in the play store
Swyped from a primed Desire S

What the 2 guys above me said is perfectly correct, and should answer your question. Check the Nexus S, it has no SD Card either, but can connect to a PC like our phones. If you can find a friend who has one (or a Galaxy Nexus), it should give you a pretty good idea what it is like.

alternatively u can use htc sync i think..

I would rather keep the derire s than a one x my mates got 1 putin the 2 phones to gether they just run the same on everyday use but i no the one x is a multicore device so it would beat the desire hands down on benchmark even tho benchmarks dont mean didley sguat lol or and on a final note im getin a 32gig mem card for my desire of ebay and ther only £11 to buy!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't trust those cards with your data. They usually lie about holding 32gb as well. Unless you're getting a well known one in which case ignore me

Sensation or One X?

Hey guys, I might sign up for a contract after the recent death of
my beloved HD2, but I don't know if I should get the HTC sensation XE
pr the HTC One X, would it be worth waiting for the One X, or should
I just buy the Sensation XE?
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/htc...ternet-only-31-per-month-mobilephones-1154717
Get the One X
If the Sensation gets a proper Sense 4.0 update, then the Sensation is more worth it unless you do heavy gaming. When it comes to poking around Android, a quad core offers little improvement over a dual-core.
go for the one x man the sensation unfortunately is already old
One S
The One S is similar to the Sensation. You need a big hand for One X's 4.7 inch screen . Apparently, that's why iPhones don't get any bigger. You're supposed to be able to reach the top left corner with your thumb whilst holding the phone.
If u want the latest & bigger screen, then go for One. Otherwise the S4G still rocks....

I have everything Samsung, fridge, tv, air con...except phone. I just LOVE Sense.
Go the One X
The One X's screen is lovely.
A) Samsung makes CRAP
B) One X has no removable storage (nor do any of the new HTCs - which may force me to leave HTC despite being a huge fan of their products, generally )
Food for thought.

Galaxy Nexus is an awesome phone but it's gotta be the One X - it's just not worth getting an old phone with such new awesomeness around the corner

Free for two years...that's HTC dropping you a hint.
For now I wait to know what are the possibilities of the dark side before you get into the purchase of one X.
Sensation has removable battery, microsd expansion, Dual core 1.2Ghz Qualcomm S3
Phones that dont have microsd or removable battery
Xperia S (Dual core 1.5Ghz S3) - no microsd, embedded battery
HTC One series - no microsd embedded battery (free 2 years dropbox) (X - Dual core 1.5Ghz S4 or Tegra 3)
Galaxy Nexus - no microsd (Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9)
Ask yourself what you do need
To be fair, the One X has 25gb of USEABLE storage, and I have NEVER used more than 16gb on my hd2( which was the size of my sd card)
I don't mind not having a removable battery, I'm sure that any 3rd
Party accessory producers can make a portable charger( they probs already
Have a few)
I think the Sensation is best for flash rom and so the removable battery is important for me and internal capacity ...

Let HTC know how you feel

HTC recently announced that the new One X will not have a sd card slot, will only have 16 GB of memory on ATT, and be a unibody phone (no extended battery). To me this is the polar opposite of their stated intentions of making this a "flagship" phone. I have emailed HTC regarding these issues and they have asked for more input from me regarding these issues. I am hoping we can get more people to voice their opinion to them and let them know we are not happy one bit. I have been a long term proponent of HTC, owning a Wizard, Kaiser, Rhodium, Ace, and Raider. If I wanted less choices I would buy an idrone. Please fix this huge mistake HTC!

With all the problems I see posted about problems with SD cards, I can see why they would want to move this way, not that they should.
I guess it comes down to trying to keep the aesthetics of the phone as up to date as possible without losing too many features.
I'd be surprised if the S3 isn't unibody.

well, i already ordered my One X.
i finally need a new phone..
but srsly, the One X IS a flagship device. they promised us quality, they brought us quality.
all three One devices are pure quality, beautiful and strong.
but sure, i don't get the point why there is no exchangable battery or a SDCard slot.
i need those things.. even with 32gb internal memory, i need my SDCard. it's just more versatile.
and i NEED a second battery to be sure to get through the whole weekend without having to recharge
things just stop to be versatile. i don't like this..
but i'll try it, i want to give HTC a chance, they deserved it.

If you need those things, then don't buy it. Don't just be loyal to a company for the sake of it.

Exactly. If they don't produce a device I want they don't get my money its that simple.
Companies are always looking to charge more and give less, Just look at Apple. If you are loyal to one brand especially a brand that begins screwing you over you are driving a nail into the coffin of choice.
Say no to iclones.
im seriously thinking of abandoning htc.. they are getting worse day by day. first their stupid security measures on their phones in a ridiculous level(heck even the bootloader and radio are fu(ked up) and now this? they must be joking... i miss the good old htc...
I don't understand how they get people to buy devices with built in memory. Its more of a pain to backup your stuff. With a sdcard you can choose your memory size and always know your stuff is there and safe. Like the Sensation XL. Super cool phone. Lack of memory. Now if it was 16GB and a sdcard slot that would be nice. But now its more about the money then getting quallity

I don't think it will matter in a few years, when we've all got faster data connections and nnGB of cloud storage, and I guess that's what they're thinking of. Saying that though, I wouldn't buy a device that didn't have an external SD card. I'm narked enough that I can't hot-swap with the S2, but I can just about live with that.
the memory is not enough to play HD games
too bad no sd support
I really, really wanted the new HTC One X because of it's Tegra3 chip, its look and feel.
But no S-OFF, no extra battery, no SD-card? What? Why?
Well anyone that has plays gameloft might as well not buy these phones. Most gameloft games have to download 100-500 mb of data add that with music other apps. You basically have no room left on your phone.

i don't really mind not having an micro sd slot with todays internet speeds everything is going towards HD as well as virtual storage.
unibody? no SD card? to me it sounds like there trying to copy the Iphone...but why, everyone knows that the common cell phone user does not know how to actually work their phone. when it locks up you pull the battery, that if its a android phone. idk about this one.....
I think the only real mess of Galaxy Tab is the lack of SD slot...

upgrade Inspire, Root or ??

well, ive had so many issues with my Inspire, they are giving me free upgrade on my contract now, so i can choose the ATT phone of my choice.
Mainly due to overheating, battery life of 2 hours, and i've had 2 of these, and had continuous issues....roximity sensor makes cheek hang up on all calls etc.....
Long list...
I've rooted my Nook Color with CM7, and really like that, so i;m familiar with process,
I guess the choice now is root the Inspire i have, OR get HTC One X or the GS III...(others?)
I really don't want much of a bigger phone than the Inspire, as i still want the
Phone "feel", rather than a computer...
Thoughts...?
Is it free? Upgrade. Which one? Go to a store, play around with them, see which one you like.
Do you get to keep the inspire after the upgrade? Root. If not, you got a free upgrade.

Upgrade
If it is free, then an upgrade might be a good choice. If you are having to sign a 2 year contract, then this will be one of the couple main considerations. If you don't mind being locked in then upgrade to new tech.
If you get to keep your inspire, then you can get the free upgrade and have a phone you can root and play around with. Win-win.
I say Nextel.

Its a battle to get free upgrades from ATT. One rep promises you one thing and the next says the first one was wrong. I've gotten the run around from ATT at least twice before. Good Luck. Enjoy your new phone
I rooted my HTC Inspire and had MIUI when I took it back (but back to Best Buy because that place is heaven for a flashaholic like myself) and the assistant looked at it (which was hysterical) and gave me 30 bucks for it. I went with the Galaxy Note but as stated by your preferences, that probably wouldn't be a good choice for you. GS3 is almost just as large so seems like the One X may be more your style. In all honesty, I miss sense a lot. A lot A lot and as long as you don't need compartments that can be opened, I would go with that bad boy.

Have the SG3 myself and love it. Already easily rooted. Keep in mind the One X has no removable battery or SD card slot.

Is the iphone an option as well? Also if screen real estate is a deciding factor, might want to look at the xperia ion.
The HTC One X is a nice phone but keep in mind there's no external sd card, removable battery and God knows when the kernel source will get released.

If money isn't an issue definitely go for the GSIII. You'll have native ICS if you don't want to mess around with flashing and there's a big dev community for it right now. I have a friend with a One S which doesn't have a micro SD card slot and he is always complaining about not having enough storage.
Go for the GSIII. The removable battery and micro SD card make it a better phone than the One X and it'll be a good improvement over your Inspire.

[Q] Would the AT&T HTC One X be the best buy?

So I am looking to get a new phone through AT&T and I was looking into either the HTC One X or the SGSIIS. I've never had an HTC phone, but my husband has and he said for what I want out of the phone it would be a good choice for me. He has a SGSIIS and I really like that phone too. So I want some opinions on some experiences with these phones. Please and thank you.

I love my HTC one x, and the screen is so clear and phenomenal. If you are looking to root then a variety of roms are available on these forums both are pretty good phones. Also if you are a workout freak like me then the HTC One X produces great sound quality through headphones and it's speakers with beats audio. Although htc one x has a non removable battery and no sd card slot. But 4 to 5 hours on screen time and 10 hours of power is fine by me. I think the battery is pretty good. Plus there is an array of roms in these forums and you can get longer battery. But if you bought the HTC One X + that one has 64 gb's of memory and a 2100MAH battery and is 65 percent faster processor. But If not the HTC One xl is still a great choice. Test both out in the store and see which one you like better.
P. S. Remember to post in question and answers thread next time. I guess they moved it.

Well, I can't afford either of those phones. That's why I asked about the One X and SGSIIS. Either way we have it figured out now. Radioshack has a deal on buying the SGSIII and getting a SGSIIS for free. Plus the One X requires a micro sim, which I can't get.

Well if you're not getting a microsim I guess congrats on your new purchase of an SGSIIS... I've heard nothing but bad things about that phone.

You should have no problem getting a MicroSIM if your new phone needs one. Either from the place that sells the phone (they should have them for new customers) or at any AT&T store. I've never been charged for a new SIM. A few times phone support sent me to the store for a new SIM to resolve an issue. Plus, depending on what type of SIM you have you may need a new one for a LTE enabled phone, even if you don't have LTE.

Why can't you get a microsim? Are you buying off contract and planning to use it on some budget carrier?
You realize you can cut down a regular sim card and use it in a microsim tray, don't you?

Phone Recommendations

Dont get me wrong i love my htc one s but the thing that is annoying is that it does not have a SD CARD SLOT.
what phones do you guys recommend that would be above or the same as the htc one s?

HTC One. 64GB is more than enough, even iFags struggle to fill that up, and their applications have much larger file sizes than Android's.
If you're THAT insistent on removable storage, I think that the Xperia Z looks quite good. Although Sony's UI is awful, you're only going to stick a ROM on it once possible, so you might as well go for that.
Dang I wish I had that much. I only have 16gb

Besides the fact that this thread is going to be locked super fast, get the Galaxy s 4. That's where I'm going. Steve, the creator of CM, is going to be doing major development over there as well. It is going to be the phone of the year. Don't fall in the same rut as what happened with this phone, don't get the One.

Im in the same boat, im looking at moving to the xperia z. Ticks all the boxes for me. The one s has been a great phone done get me wrong but having problems with it since day one with it dropping calls unless it has full coverage and the fact it has the worst reception in a phone i have ever had. I thought samsung was bad but this is worse. I tried it on 3 service providers here in ireland and its dreadful.
Ill probably pick up the xperia z just going to wait till the s4 is out and make up my mind then
