[Q] Anyone getting the AT&T One X (aka One XL) - HTC Inspire 4G

Looking through the forums, looks like most people are going for the international One X.
The only dev I've seen so far getting the One XL is DesignGears. Anybody planning on pickin one up?

by the time i'm allowed to upgrade, phones will be linked to skynet.... :/

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy S III. The official announcement is on May 3rd, and it should be getting released pretty soon to be out in time for the Olympics in England (along with a major advertising push).

My next phone upgrade will have 22 cores

Development for our phones have luckily been great, very unlikely Id upgrade.
We are one of the few fortunate on xda.
Only reason Id consider one is for the battery MaH upgrade.

I stick out my 20 months. Truthfully I don't even see the need to upgrade. I see the major thing as multiple cores, But I don't see the need for the power. Nothing I use needs speed or power to work. Maybe by Nov. when my 20 months is up, I'll need it?
I really only upgrade because the bill stays the same. If they dropped it it down like they should, I would likely only upgrade when neccassary. But if I am gonna pay the same monthly fee, and I can upgrade, I usually do.. :/

Questions are supposed to go into the Q&A board.

Want to upgrade but willing to wait

So they convinced me to get out of flexpay and reset my upgrade a year earlier than it was supposed to be. Looking at the sgs2 but not liking its Samsung. What do you guys think or what have you heard? Are there any HTC phones that are a drastic improvement from the mt4g coming out?

Not that I've heard. I'm waiting until until T-Mobile gets something with a S4 (4th gen Snapdragon) and over 1 GB of RAM. I got the MT4G right after launch and it was worth it then because it was the first phone in the U.S. with a S2 and 768MB of RAM. I'd milk the MT4G a few more months...it's still a fast phone with more than adequate performance.

I say wait as long as you can.. the sgs2 is a nice phone but I read the sgs3 is coming out, the specs are great. As for HTC the edge seem to be a new phone with great promise as well. As for the Mt4g it's still a great phone for atleast the next 2yrs.

If I was replacing my MT4G, I'd probably aim for an Amaze 4G or try to stick it out until the next generation of phones hit.

I agree to stick with your MT4G and wait a while...the HTC Edge does look like an awesome device
HTC Sensation, Sensation XL, or Amaze 4G in my opinion.
Just wait. At the rate phones come out, roms come out as well. Xda has your back! Unless it breaks, hold off on the upgrade.

Depending on what carrier(s) it's available for, the Asus Padfone is looking pretty sweet
I would wait a bit, especially with the tegra 3 chip in the horizon
Every time I want a new phone, I flash a new ROM. Best way to get your current phone to act like a new phone. Left MIUI for Febs ICS beta recently. It's so amazing It will save you a lot of money comparatively too.
I have an HTC HD2 (T-Mobile version unlocked, on AT&T) and I am looking at getting a T-Mobile plan. My HD2 had Android 2.3.7 (AmeriCan Android). It runs the SD card, so I can still use WM6.5.
So, when I go to T-Mobile, the free phones they have (at Costco) lists the MT4G, which looks like the best free one.
But, when I compare what Costco / T-Mobile and PhoneScoop.com say are the specs, they don't match.
I'm wondering if going from the HD2 with Android to the MT4G is worth it. I know I can keep the HD2 and if I don't like the TM4G as much I can switch back (or even back and forth), but I was wondering what MT4G users think of their phones.
Also, does anyone change to a newer version of Android before the warranty runs out?
I love my mt4g. no the specs should all be the same. I get over a day running cm7 overclocked to 1.5ghz with normal use. Was going to use the phone as a present to control a Logitech harmony base but. Have decided to wait till HTC makes there next big one not really liking sgs2 after using one.

Honestly wait... I had the mt4g from launch up to about 2 weeks ago... tmo offered me a sensation as a warranty replacement.. don't get me wrong, it's a nice device, but the mt4g dev section makes me miss my old phone. Unless it's free (aka me getting the sensation didn't effect my bill, upgrade date or contract..) , I'd stick with the mt4g.

I will watch out for the LG version to avoid it, but I was looking at T-Mobile from Costco. They have the T-Mobile® myTouch™ 4G Black, and in the pictured you can see "HTC" on the back.
The reason I was looking at this was it is $0.01 from Costco, and it seems to be pretty good compared to my HTC HD2, and I'm running Android, like the mt4g, so I thought that would be a good step.
Thanks!

The development of this ROM is amazing. I got lucky and didn't realize that before I bought the phone, but the MT4G is a fantastic phone for $0.01 on contract.
Either way though, I may suggest a dualcore if it ever goes on a sale. Quite sure there was a time when the SGS2 was like $0.01 during Christmas for T-mobile. Try and look for deals like that.

The SGS2 deal was something like $200 down, with $200 mail in rebate, and $20 per month for 20 months! Not quite the deal I was looking for.
Not sure if I should wait for a better deal toward the end of the month, or take the plunge now!
Anyone know if any T-Mobile deals are coming soon?
You are only going to get a great deal on T-mobile if you aren't a current customer (just my opinion). Otherwise, wait until you are eligible for phone upgrades.

Help with sprint upgrade what to choose?

I currently have a trusty hero on sprint I'm looking to upgrade soon but idk what I want I do not want a Samsung phone because of past experience so is thr a phone coming up I should wait for or should I just grab the evolution 3d for 99.99?

Get the Motorola Photon 4G, trust me you will not be disappointed.
I initially really wanted the Galaxy SII since at the time I had an evo 4G and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and loved them. I was also following the rumors of the next google nexus (codename Nexus Prime at the time) possibly coming to sprint in in Q4 and then I really really wanted that but my evo had finally given out. I wanted a new phone so I went to sprint planning to get the galaxy s2 but wasn't do for another month or two. I was going to grab an evo 3d as a place holder till the galaxy came out but, they were out of stock or not do for another week too and saw the Photon. I decided to get it as sort of a place holder till the Evo3d was available then after a month with that the galaxy would've come out and I would have been able to exchange it within the 30 day window . I've never been a motorola fan whatsoever (was strictly HTC kind of guy and liking samsung cause of the tab) and was actually kind of bummed that I had to walk out with a Motorola phone. After having it for about a week I had completely fallen in love with it, so much so that I didn't even want an evo 3d, when the Galaxy SII came out I was like fk that'll be a downgrade from the photon and couldn't find any reason what so ever to switch phones. When the Galaxy Nexus initially came out, (even though I know it's not on sprint) I also couldn't find a good enough reason to want to upgrade when It does get released on sprint.
I absolutely love my Photon and can see myself actually holding onto this for the next 2 years which I've never even considered with past phones. It's got Great consistent signal, the longest battery life of ANY smartphone I've owned and haven had a single problem with it. Even on the stock rom, I didn't have the need to flash custom roms just to get it to work correctly or get better battery life or to make it faster, it was just all that straight out of the box. I only rooted Initially to use a few root apps that I always use. I recently started flashing custom roms but only because I WANTED to, not because I NEEDED TO.
Just take a look at the the other phones forums and then the photon section and you'll see barely any complaints or bytching about the photon we all just love it. You will not be disappointed, I promise you that.
I honestly don't plan on upgrading any time soon, unless maybe the Photon 2 is released and even then, It would be an upgrade because I would want to, not because I would have to. I love my MoPho

Don't really know why not a samsung phone but from an owner of an HTC Hero , and an EVO 3D for a couple of week I can assure you the SGSII Epic 4G Touch wont dissapoint you its really the best phone i've owned but if not I would recomend to wait until a month or two after the MWC when all the supposed quad-cores and 720 displays come, i assure you an htc will arrive within a month after that right now i wont recomend the EVO 3D except for the dev
I don't want a Samsung product because ive had issues with their customer service and products (OG galaxy tab,SGS 1) just not a fan of the company personally

Considering the spec sheet shows HSPA+ bands, it could very well be a T Mobile phone, also considering the other 3 major US carriers are in the process of or already have rolled out LTE networks.
I was hoping that something comparable would come to sprint after MWC

Go with the Galaxy SII.
Never go Motorola over Samsung.
Seeing as the Photon is the only thing comparable.
I sell a lot of both of those phone and I only see the Photons coming back.
And I am super happy with my GSII.
i think im gona wait til after mwc at the end of the month just to see whats upcoming i wana get a tegra 3 phone i think im not sure hopefully a new htc device coes out with tegra 3, sense 4.0, ics, and beats audio thats my dream phone..oh yeah and sprints new LTE network!

Just a few questions

I'm totally going to upgrade to a One phone. I'm on T-Mobile, and I'm kinda sad we won't get the MOA black version. But I'm curious, aside from its strength what other advantages will the MOA get compared to the Grey anodized version?
I'm case I decided to get the One X, will either of those versions get T-Mobile faster 4G?
And correct me if I'm wrong but.. The One X and One S here in the US is practically the same phone, the only difference being screen type and size (obviously resolution) and battery??
Also, I love the screen on my brothers Galaxy S 4G, is the One S similar, worse or better than that?
Does the T-Mobile version have dual microphone? One regular and one noise canceling?
Sorry, but no the One S and the One X aren't even close. The S uses an S4 chip, while the One X uses the Tegra3. Now if you meant the AT&T version (which is the One XL), then they are the same other than the screen type/size, battery, and I think the XL will still have 32GB memory unlike the 16GB on the S. Of course I'm half asleep making this post so please forgive me if I was/am wrong on any of that. As far as the mic goes I'm not sure.
On a side note I hate the fact T-Mobile isn't getting the MAO version.
I think the one xl, has a dual core processor, not sure of that, but I think i heard it somewhere. If that's true, i recommend de one s, as it's cheaper, and still an awesome phone.
Sent from a potato via tapatalk
Yeah I was referring to the One XL. I seriously hope the One S does have dual microphones. That would at least save it a bit from lack of MOA
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I'm on Tmobile USA. The more I debate between the One S and the One XL. The more I lean towards the One XL which should work on Tmobile. One XL has an HD screen and a bigger screen over the One S. Plus the Front Facing camera is a tad better on the One XL.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
I'm on T-Mobile too, and the only reason I'm considering getting the One S is due to price. I have an extra line on my account. My mom wants to put my dad in my account so that the whole family will be in my account. Obviously the phone would be way cheaper, especially if I go to Sams club or Costco.
If I get the One X I'm paying full retail, and there's no guarantee they'll sell it to me the week it is released cause they give preference to their customers or new customers.
Not to mention, don't know how long it'll take for them to get me an unlock code.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's using the same TI wifi chip as the Amaze. That really hindered dev. on that phone since HTC isn't releasing the source for that.
How do we know that we are not getting the black version?
Alright I work at T-Mobile and my boss has a friend in tmobile that actually had a meeting with a HTC guy and he even held the one s he told me wonders about it but he also told me that in 2-4 months from release the black one will actually come to tmobile and that it was already confirmed so Id rather wait for the black one

i probably would not wait 2-3 month for the black version over the grey one myself however i can understand if someone does! first of all it's not only the color (and the more beautiful look) but also the texture and improved durability. if someone wants to keep the phone for 2 years maybe waiting 2 more month and actually get what you want might not be so crazy ... aside from that i consider myself also lucky living in a country wher the black unlocked version is already available
I can completely understand that it's an issue. just as mentioned: i wouldn't buy the gradient metal version either. but since i'm quite impatient i would definitely try ANY workaround but ok, i'm quite lucky not having to deal with this.. hope for you guys over there, that t-mobile is a bit quicker
Just to b clear we are all preety much coworkers I was just emphazising on the fact that it is someone ranked up to be tmobile's manager of all the tmobile dealers in my area he's not just a tmo sales rep like me and I dont even like my boss that much anyways

Droid 3 vs thunderbolt

I'm looking to join Verizon very soon, but I need to take the cheap way out. Verizon currently has two free phones, the Droid 3, and the HTC thunderbolt.
My question to you, fellow xda-ers: pros and cons on both of them. Both phone will be rooted, go.
Sent from my LG-MS690 using xda premium
The D3's development is finally picking up with bypassing the bootloader. The keyboard is superb, it's fast and smooth, also the camera takes crisp pictures.
Ive never used a Thunderbolt so I can't comment on that device.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
With the TBolt you get more current development and 4g, though it is definitely not the most loved phone out there for tweakers. With the D3 you get a great keyboard, strong hardware, but development that is just now picking up. If I were choosing between those two though I'd get the D3. That's actually what I'm considering as something to get me by until a 4G device that I like comes out.

That's somewhat what I'm thinking as well, although I love sense and HTC products, most every Droid I've used is just flawless. My only concern is, is the tradeoff from craftsmanship and a growing development community worth losing out on 4g lte?
Sent from my LG-MS690 using xda premium
How long are you planning on having the phone for? Development isn't really too amazing on either phone right now so you might want to take the baseline features like 4G into account pretty heavily. Though VZ has been screwing TBolt owners over pretty hard in terms of actually getting ICS out, it should come eventually which will mean much easier development of ICS Roms. The D3 faces the same issues as I've seen with the D2 in that devs have to create their own drivers for the Camera, Wifi, and other basic features. For me I can deal with the D3 if it comes to that because it will only be a temp phone for me so if it gets developed great, and if not I'll survive. If you're going to keep yours for two years the TBolt might be the way to go.
I'll just tell you this though: both phones were pretty much DOA and are both cautionary tales when it comes to looking at Motorola or HTC for purchases. No one is perfect but both phones were touted as flagship models more or less and then left in the dust. Aside from me looking at a D3 as a stopgap I have zero plans to ever buy another Moto device and I'm quite leery about HTC. With the exception of the Rezound they haven't offered much of worth on the VZ end.
It would probably be around 6 months that I have the phone. I get very tiresome of phone after about four months, with the exception of a few of my previous devices (evo 4g, and mytouch 4g)

Do you honestly only have free as a price point option? There are some seriously badass phones out that aren't too expensive. The Incredible LTE just came out, it's running ICS and Sense 4.0 natively and also has the S4 chip, same as the Galaxy S3 and HTC One series (US Versions). Costco has it for $60 right now.

If you're looking to join Verizon, aka new customer, there's much much better phones for you on Amazon.

Then honestly, I'd wait until you can spend at least $100 and stick with Metro for now.
The two phones in your price range are already horribly outdated development and specs wise and if you're going to be locked in, I'd want a better phone than those two for a long term period of time.
Unless your MetroPCS experience is that bad, my advice is just wait until you can put together some funds.
My thinking is I get a free one, and eventually ill upgrade. And yes, my metro experience sucks lol. I get absolutely no reception at either of my workplaces, and home.

Glad you like it. On stock 2.3.4 the best thing you can do is root using Motofail and then freeze bloatware as there is a bunch. After than the phone will run much smoother. No official ICS for this phone, but with the recent Kexec progress having a stable ICS/JB ROM is looking more like a reality.
Guess I won't be joining the D3 party as apparently I still have full coverage replacement on my D2. Just hoping it doesn't come with 2.3.4 already on-board. Glad things worked out for you though Dubs.

[Q] Is it worth it? [SOLVED]

Okay guys,
I'm a hobbyist developer, I often pseudo-kang my own roms by basically cherry picking features from various roms and slap them all together into one big frankenrom for whatever device I'm using.
I've decided that next phone I get, I'm just going to develop a real rom myself. The problem is, I can't decide what my next phone will be! I have two options, and only two as I have VERY limited funds and will be renewing my contract:
AT&T HTC One X
LG Optimus G
Both are less than a dollar. The one X has lesser specs, but I'm familiar with HTC devices and their quirks (been cooking up roms since my old wizard and Kaiser days) but the optimus g is from a manufacturer I'm totally unfamiliar with when it comes to developing yet has some amazing specs for a whopping PENNY at Wal-Mart.
How active do you guys (honestly) see the developing community surrounding the One X lasting? Is it worth it to jump into a device that is already end of life? Should I just hang on until I have an extra $99 and get the HTC One?
I'm coming here and asking you guys this because you're the ones that can tell me how much longer you HONESTLY see yourselves using this device. I'm using the htc holiday now, and that really bit me in the arse, dying out in less than a year, AND being a nightmare to develop for. If it happens again with the One X, I'm swearing of HTC forever.

Me, personally, I'd wait and pay the $99 for the M7. I'm not saying this is a bad phone by any stretch of the imagination, it's a freakin awesome phone, I absolutely love my Evita.
But, considering the speed at which tech becomes outdated, and how long you want to keep a device for, it just seems to make more sense to hold out for the M7.

I agree. The latest tech for quad core phones is extremely promising, like the one and the gs4. Seems like their getting great battery/performance ratio. I'd wait it out a bit.

Thanks a lot guys. That really helped me make my decision, along with seeing the crazy TWENTY HOURS of talk time a friend managed on a stock HTC One. My Holiday gets MAYBE 5 hours of screen on time, and that's with LTE turned off, intellidemand governor, and max clock set to 1024MHz. That was another big bite on the arse with getting one of the first LTE phones on AT&T

Oooh. Those sneaky bastards. It's only $50 if you're starting *new* service. Upgrades are $99.
Aw shucks, what a letdown.
What would you lose if you were to start a new contract? I know up here in Canada, it's government law to have carriers able to port your number from one service to another, even if it's to the same carrier after a cancellation of their service. Other than the phone number, I don't know what else you'd lose besides loyalty. Would it be worth it to look into?
Starting fresh is just an idea to explore, it might help, probably not.
Edit: The reason I say start new (if at all possible) is because I believe the HTC Holiday is >2 years old, rendering your contract nearly terminated and up for renewal. Just to clarify.
