Just got a one x and was wondering if there is a phone I can buy as like a backup phone but, since the one x uses a micro sim I was thinking only the iphone uses a micro sim. Am I wrong are there any other smartphones on att that use micro sim?
Use a micro sim adapter. Then you can use any phone. Problem solved.

It's a little piece of plastic. Can't get anymore crappier than that!
Anyhow, I bought one for my Motorola Atrix from eBay for like 99c. Don't pay any more than $1...

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.
I have 2 SIM cards right now: one in my GS4, and one that I overnighted from online support. Which one should I use for my Nexus 5? Thanks guys!

If you have both, just use the new one that you got - since it is not currently tied to another phone, it should work regardless. (I assume the old one from your GS4 will work too - but since you have a new one, I'd use that instead - and keep the old one with the GS4 in case you want to sell it or activate it later)
Whichever is best for you and of course it's a Micro SIM.
I'm looking to get a good condition used One X. Unfortunately eBay is cluttered with misinformation and junk devices. It seems that generally the One X is cheaper than the One X+, obviously. So what I'm trying to figure out is this, did AT&T make a One X in 32GB? I did a couple of searches and it looks like they did not, but there are some listings that have some AT&T ones for sale so I'm kind of confused.
Scozzar said:
I'm pretty sure the HOXL only had the 16gb. This phone is the Evita. In the US it was branded as the One X, however everywhere else it was the HTC One XL. My guess is that you're looking at the international version

Incorrect. At&t might have never released a 32gb model, but several other carriers did. My partner has a 32gb One XL from Telstra. So the answer to @sikkboy626's question is yes, there is a 32gb model. It won't be at&t branded though, and will not carry the at&t radio hardware (the LTE hardware specifically)

Thank you both for these answers, they're much appreciated. It seems that a 32GB AT&T One X may not be a real listing.

Hi
Will there be a version of galaxy s7 (maybe just for some regions) with capability of using 2 sim cards and a microsd at the same time?
I think there's no 128gb version, so what if I want more space (128gb) with two sim cards inserted?
Highly doubt it. I don't know of any phone that has. The dual sim will probably be software locked for certain regions and I don't see Sammy redesigning their phone to accommodate 3 cards, I.E 2 sims and an sd.

Its a hybrid (sim or card) phone, so NO
Think it's possible to do it like this?

Well I'm not sure about those phones above but I'm. Sure the motor x play is either dual sim or single simply with microsd but can't take all three at same time. Only going on the fact that I also have a motor x force

Hey folks,
I want to buy the U11 and one last thing came into my mind: The non-provider version has dual sim, but is there 4G available for both slots? Or is it 2G/3G for the secondary and 2-4G for the primary?

Almost no different with same rom and kernel, mainly just 2GB ram more and got 128GB storage while some LTE bands supporting might be different.....

Sim2 slot shared with sim and sd card so you only can pick one but since it comes with 128GB and should be enough without sd card.
