This is a thread to list some cool things you like about the phone. Maybe point out a few things that other people didn't know yet.
For me I would have to say that the keyboard is awesome. Also the fact that it already has a printer option built in. Voice recognition on this phone is awesome. And of course face recognition is great too.

I've been a Swype user since the Nexus One, but I have to say that the Trace feature on the HTC keyboard is impressive. It's noticeably quicker to render words after swyping/tracing. Only downside I've noticed is you can't place the cursor on previous words and choose alternate suggestions. Unless I'm missing an option for this.
Ha. And I though it was an improved swype this whole time

Interesting comment about the keyboard. I'll be receiving my HOX today but most reviews say the HTC keyboard is ****. Seeing the entire row of arrows on the bottom leads me to agree (but then again, I haven't used it yet). How does it compare to the stock ICS keyboard? I don't like Swype so I'm sure I won't ever use that feature.

About that. I tried using the face detect to lock my screen and at first i thought to myself, man does this work well.
Then for fun I had my dad look at the camera and guess what, the phone unlocked itself for him too. Now I know we look somewhat alike, but not that close.
Long story short, I wouldn't trust that feature..

My favorite feature is definitely the screen! I can't keep my eyes off of it. I do not like the HTC Sense keyboard and for those of you that also do not like it you can go to the Play Store and download the stock ICS keyboard and it works great on the One X. It is much more similar to the iPhone keyboard that I am used to and is spaced further apart than stock sense keyboard. Also, you get more screen room for viewing while texting or writing messages if you use the stock ICS keyboard.

It works for pictures of you as well... It can't distinguish depth.
Well they're working on a modified face unlock that requires you to blink so picture would be useless.

The apps button on the lower right is the coolest so far for me. Swipe up to close apps and you can open any recent apps...
It takes the only good feature of the Blackburry playbook and adds it to Android. Sorry if this is old for HTC... first one for me.

I personally hate this feature. A dedicated button? I liked long press home. Now I don't have a quick way to search plus I haven't found a way to assign a long press action to any of them.

From what I can tell, by swiping the recent application does not close the application. I have opened several apps and then hit the home button then the recent applications button and swiped them... then opened up the apps again and they are right back where I left them. I think it only deletes the recent app bookmark and not closes the app itself.

Id love to see how it feels to instantly "leap" w/ one hit of the home button.
Dont know if this can be dont w/out Root. Hopefully, one of us knows of an app that can do it already. Or maybe someone can code/hack it.
Maybe I should drop this in Dev department? Maybe I should just hit up all the forms?
Thanks a googolplex in advance,

yeah. so instead of one tap of home then swipe, or two tap of home then pick, its just one tap home and pick. I think that how macs do it now a days with expose, right?
If mines already on the home screen it only takes one tap....why 1 instead of 2? Your THAT lazy you want someone to design an apk that edits the amount of taps required?

1. Didn't ask for someone to come along and state the obvious.
2. Because 1 is less then 2.
3. Yes, yes I am. especially since that cuts my taps down by 50%.
Seriously, i find it hella annoying that i have to go to the main home screen before i can go to the on that i want. just reverse the order. make one tap go to leap view, and two taps go to main home. I see mac users doing this all the time with expose, and it looks awesome.
It's shouldn't be hard. Just look in leap. Should be able to switch. Lemme go look and see what I can do for you.
What about if you actually want to end on the homepage? If it changed I would believe that would require two taps now instead of the one, its kinda of a toss up.
I wish we could press and hold the menu button to bring up the app drawer. Having android so long I am not used to hitting the bottom left for the Apps but having used DxTop I did get accustom to pressing and holding menu to bring up the Apps
It's shouldn't be hard. Just look in leap. Should be able to switch. Lemme go look and see what I can do for you.

Ok? I dont really see how I came off as not sincere. Not after i clearly stated... "I was super stoked on that. Thanks again."
There is a new launcher in the market right now that im using it works great.it called launcherpro.
I would install "home switcher"also in the market. That way while you are setting up your new layout you can go back and fourth. Without being interrupted by that a default prompt.
Launcher pro has single tap of home button that brings up the leap view, and it also has pinch to leap. With added gesture of dialer, contacts, internet, and messages at the bottom of every page.
Also it has a app launcher similar to the N1. Without the 3d cube effect.
Very responsive worth a try, only downfall is none of the htc widgets work while using this launcher. Bc their widgets are tired in to it.
I use the flip clock from the market, its customizable.and dolphin hd with their bookmarks widget and the friendstream app , that way it still has a sense feel to it.

Works well for me- it still has HTC Sense loaded in the background, which I'm sure if you turned it off would make it run even faster... but it works nonetheless.
I've been using it for two weeks no lag. Rosie is nice for awhile but the widgets are just too big. Plus I get bored quick, and having their widgets on my old eris for six months was enough for me.

If you only use the arrow buttons to move the cursor there is now a better way. Just tap the text, it will then appear on the "suggestion's bar". Now slide the bar left or right to move the cursor.

I had a Wildfire. I kind of miss it. I used to to edit text.
Editing text was the only time I used it. The Sensation is pretty good at going to the right place, though, but it would be nice to have it (or arrows or something on the keyboard)
My last phone was the Hero and I only miss the trackball when I want to move the cursor in text. I never used the trackball for anything else, it's a minor annoyance but I'm sure I get over it.
The track pad was a great tool. I miss it do you.
Conference call
Anyone missing the conference call feature or hand free voice dial?
Yes, I very much miss the trackpad from my Desire. I'm still using my Desire until the sim unlock for the Senstation is available (in Canada). Used the trackpad to bring up the unlock screen and for navigating the text to correct words.
The Sensation isn't too bad without the trackpad so far with the larger screen and new Swype beta. I'll manage without it, but I will miss it.
I tried selecting text on my Sensation the other day and it was horrible. I miss my trackball from my Nexus One, but by the looks of things, Google abandonded the trackball/pad as the Nexus S has neither.
Yes trackball on the N1 was awesome. Differnt color lights for all of your notifications + all the same reasons already mentioned. The notification colors were my favorite though. I knew if i had a voicemail, text, gmail, calendar alert, missed call each had a different color. Unlocking was nice too.
Just get a 3rd party keyboard. most have arrows and there is one with a software trackpad, can't remember its name.. I use Swype..

I would think it would be easy enough for HTC to put a multi color led inplace of one of the existing LEDs. Or maybe multi color LEDs for the capacitive keys. One thing for sure, the colored notifications was a great feature that the dev community perfected.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular

Don't get me wrong--I am thrilled with this phone. But I find it completely shocking that nobody at HTC ever tried to watch a video on it and said, "hey, these three bright lights are really freaking annoying!"

I've used the app adjbrightness in the past. I haven't tested yet because it requires root and haven't rooted yet. hope this helps.
I would also like a solution for this.
Lots of little quirks with the software where you'd think HTC would have noticed it. This is a big one in my opinion.
How in the world could you forget to time out the lights when a video is being played. Or give a setting for it.
How could you leave out the stock keyboard and ONLY provide your crappy bloated Sense keyboard? atleast have it installed, so users can have the option.
In the browser, wheres the tab button? why have the user hop through menus and different windows when Tabs are the FUTURE! and stock on ICS.
HTC RUINED! the browser.
Excellent hardware, brought down by senseless sense designers.
Sense UI makes absolutely no sense.
