I'm using a captivate with Speed N Style ROM Purplicious. Infuse looks mostly similar minus the processor and 1080p. Development may follow heavily, and pretty quickly, due to the similarities to i9000.

What did you guys pay for yours? Where's the best price off contract you've seen?
loving mine. 4.5 inch screen is great. especially when dash mounted. extremely snappy. can't wait for the ROMs, touchwiz 4 is better than 3.
Like a lot of others, i was torn about getting the infuse or waiting for AT&T's version of the SGS2. it sounds great and all, but who knows when that's coming out. Even when it does, i don't know if the dual core will be a huge difference, plus i think i would rather have the infuse's larger screen.

worst case, you wait a few months, love the SG2, and then just sell the Infuse.
at least that's my plan.
now I'm off to the mall to buy it
I've been doing the buy/sell/trade with phones since the Iphone 4 came out. I got my Infuse yesterday, and I can honestly say it is more than a phone. Its the first phone I have not been able to use comfortably with 1 hand. The delayed dedicated forum and GS2 will prolly kill this phone. I don't think the dualcore will really matter, but I think the smaller screen of the SG2 will make it more comfortable to use. Until then, I will use the Infuse that I got, as it is by far the best At&t device to date.

The only thing that was bugging me about the huge screen that I think is impossible to do with one hand is pull down the notifications tab. Installed LauncherPro, used the home button to pull down notifications problem solved. I'm loving the extra real estate and especially when it comes to typing.

So I'm all set to upgrade from the Samsung Infuse 4g (rooted running emancipation) to the HTC One X even after the whole update debacle I'm having hope that at some point the handcuffs will be taken off of this phone and that some devs will hold onto the device until that time. I've seen all the negative threads with development with this phone will die soon but how many devices have stayed locked down their entire life cycle for HTC? If anything a stock One X is still far greater than a rooted Infuse.
The devs here are dedicated and talented and I appreciate all the work I've seen them put into trying to find cracks in the system to free this phone.

Just wonder how long I'll have to wait too root it.
The only thing left is I can't decide between the Incipio Duo case and the Ballistic SG, I've read metalheads incipio review and have an incipio on my Infuse but the phone will be spending a lot of time in a backpack so I'm just stuck picking a case. Also open to any other cases that add protection with the multi layer design that aren't as bulky as an otterbox.
Thanks!

The Incipio is the way to go. The Ballistic was the first case I gave away. It was way too bulky and completely killed the sexiness of the One X. The Incipio on the other hand, compliments it quite nicely. It is still my favorite case, hands down.

I agree the Incipio looks so sleek does it offer enough protection to give you peace of mind if there is an accidental drop? On my Infuse I started with an Otterbox Defender and went to the Incipio and glad I did, I just don't like the play it has on the top and bottom of the Infuse which is what lead me to question getting one for the One X.

Incipio is on it's way, also it I talked to my friend at AT&T and he thinks he has one in store that's still 1.85 and he's going to hold it for me. Now I've rooted my Captivate and Infuse but it seems like this is a whole nother ball game on a scale of 1-10 what's the difficulty rooting a 1.85 HOX?
I came from the Galaxy S II and I really like this phone, I feel its an upgrade from the SII for sure.
Don't be swayed by others that this phone isnt, it's the most polished android phone out there.

Not difficult at all. I'd rate it as a 1, with 1 being the easiest. Sure, there are a couple of extra steps involved since you have to unlock the bootloader but it's very simple as long as you follow the directions. If you are lucky and get one that is still on 1.85 make sure they don't update it at the store for you. I've read reports of that happening to people. Just use the 1 click root for 1.85 in the development section and then unlock your bootloader. Good to go after that.

Just a tip when rooting, use the tool that's stickied on the development forum and uncheck fast boot in your power settings before starting. Turning fast boot off seems to be optional but I tend to get more success with it off (3 HOX's so far)

I need a phone with good battery life (well good as in i can make it through the day), i would like to know if the One X does well. If i root, debloat, and disable LTE radio will i make it solid through a day? My current phone (pantech Burst) i have to charge a few times to get through a day and its annoying. That is will all the above steps done. I'm not sure how hard it will be to root and run a custom rom on this phone but even if i use the standard but root debloat and turn LTE off will i be good? Thanks!

Sounds like a challenge ...
I don't have LTE in my area, so I don't know how that would affect me. I last easily a day with the One X. I used to charge my GS II at lunch from ~50% back to 100%, and still have concerns I wouldnt last all evening. With the same usage I can last all day and end with more battery at bed time. Judging by the screen on time I easily get twice the battery life on the One X. And that is without doing anything special, using my phone quite a bit using data to stream Pandora a few hours, listening to audio books on the commute, all over Bluetooth. I am running Venom FWIW.

My only recommendation is that you pray that your new phone comes with 1.85 on it and not 2.20 as there is no root for the latter as of now. Either way it is ONE hell of a phone, just so much better with root and unlocked bootloader.
Def hope for that! Is it hard to unlock the bootloader?

First week of August. Each update plugged the hole used to root the previous build, so each update was like a chess match for the community. The bounty for a 2.20 root is now over $500.

I think he was referring to the GS III being a better phone (to be honest I agree, but got the One X for free after several DOA replacement GS IIs). As far as putting a new ROM on a Samsung phone "its so easy a cave man could do it." Its crazy simple and easy compared to the One X. I was able to load a custom ROM on a GS II before even booting it once, several times as I got replacements. There is no S-OFF, or bootloader to worry about. There are many threads about the GS III vs One X. They are both good and each have their own pros and cons.

I am seeing at least twice the battery life on the One X compared to the GS II. I never really worried about battery life because I could charge at work (and did for a few hours every day) and in the car. I can go all day with the One X. Right now I am almost dead at 5 hours of screen time. I never saw over 2 hours on the GS II. But, I never tried to maximize battery life, I used Bluetooth and Pandora whenever I want, I browse a lot, because I am always near a charger (and I use the One X the same way). I liked AOKP on the GS II, but the AOKP here isn't close to as polished as Task had it. I am fine with ViperXL, as a sense based ROM with lots of customization options not there on stock. I flashed 3 ROMs the day I got the phone, and stayed on ViperXL. That was 2 weeks ago, I feel no need to flash anything else.

See my comment (the last post in the thread). It took me several tries and a lot of patience. Once rooted you can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and get to flashing ROMs.

How long the battery last is obviously highly dependent on how you use your phone (in particular, screen on time, downloading, streaming, gaming, video, etc.). But I can get over 48 hours on a single charge on my One X, with LTE on during the work day, and on WiFi at home.
As already mentioned, whether you can root or not depends on what firmware you get shipped on the phone. Some people are still getting new ones with the 1.85 firmware, which is rootable (and you can unlock the bootloader after root). But many are getting 2.20, which is not currently rootable, and no bootloader unlock). Your chances of getting a phone with 1.85 are better if you buy from a store (versus online), I believe.

Before I put my foot forth and my wallet would like to know how you guys enjoy this phone. I was reading around about this SOD is it really that bothersome and common??
Also I had previous experiences with Samsung phone do you have to backup EFS folder with this one too?
Also how brickable is this phone, Samsung phones usually are easier to brick than HTC or LG.
Thank you for the input this community looks promising.

Before I put my foot forth and my wallet would like to know how you guys enjoy this phone. I was reading around about this SOD is it really that bothersome and common??
Also I had previous experiences with Samsung phone do you have to backup EFS folder with this one too?

Pretty hard to brick, great phone for the price. Cwm makes easy nandroid and allows you to select how you want it saved. Sods are almost non-existent anymore. On ICS I don't think there is any sods. But I've been running test kernels for a week now for jellybean based ROMs and I think there's light at the end of the tunnel. All in all get it if you can't afford an s3. I personally like it better than the s3 because of the size.

Thanks, yeah I don't like phones higher than a 4.3 screen size. After that it feels like a mini tablet lol. So this is perfect with power, I don't think the s3 is all that necessary in Android yet. Plus I live in NY you always have to be looking if you know what I mean haha.
Any info on the EFS question if this phone has it? So I'll know to back it up

I just checked at best buy and they currently have the s3 at 150 with 2 year agreement my question is have you guys ever tried buying through best buy? Does your plan change in any way after you guys have done this? Tmobile always tries to make it impossible for their customers that's why I ask these things. I see it as a good investment worse comes to worse down the line I can just opt out and pay 200 penalty and I would still have my s3.

The s 3 is nice and all... but honestly the next phone I'm going to get in a couple years would be Ubuntu phone. Or a phone that can run it. (When released.)
