Real men use smart phones with micro sd card slots..

Seriously I'm not feeling htc/att's tactics at the moment. Way too many issues already with this device and it hasnt even been offically released yet. Honestly my next device will have an sd card slot, and a removable battery for crying out loud. What were they thinking? Nevermind, they werent. I'm definitely passing on this device. htc bring back the sdcard slot you dumb ****s. /rant off

good for you ?
wondering why this is a thread

Really? I guess some people don't care... like me. I have a 60 GB music collection, but rely on Pandora One and Play Music for my entertainment. My internal sdcards on my phones only hold nandroids and pictures (that auto-upload to Dropbox when on wifi).

Because I know there are others upset with htc/att at the moment over this highly anticipated device. No offense intended.

Exactly and I want the freedom to use my sdcard not being pushed towards the cloud and not everyone wants their personal stuff all about floating above in the clouds you know.

Real men don't cry over a phone not being there way. If you don't like it then choose a different device. Also send a letter to htc, not to a bunch of random people that can't do anything about the future of htc.

Have you ever tried cloud storage? It's much better than an sd card (errors= lost data), on the cloud there's almost no risk in losing your data.

Agreed. You get an extra 25 gb from dropbox with this phone, plus if you use it to upload photos you can get up to 3gb more.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

Cloud storage is crap when you want to use your phone on the go and have data limits.
And yes someone opened up their phone and it has the memory soldered onto the board so no you can't just pop in a replacement one. The pictures were in another thread I don't remember where.

thanks for the info. I. seen the video of Paul Obrien open his orange Intel Core. and add memory. was just curious.

Btw, I am paying $2.99 a month for 25gb on Google cloud in addition to my Dropbox account and if I want more space I can get 100gb for $10.

I can't get videos to stream from Dropbox without first marking the file as a Favorite (which then makes a local copy). So cloud storage is not a great solution. And that was using WiFi. I know Dropbox just a day ago updated their app for better streaming support but I haven't tested it yet. I hope it works better.

The storage is a 16GB Samsung NAND chip that is soldered to the board there is no way to upgrade it.

I haven't had any problems streaming videos from db, maybe something was up with the wifi router or the internet connection you were on. You should also try google storage.

Can just desolder the chip and replace it with an upgraded version, granted you need an Air-Vac rework station or something similar to pull/place the chip but I use one all day so.. , lol.

Lmk I will be the first in line... After you confirm success. I am going to say that this will also require a custom Rom to go along with it? That may actually be the hard part getting the phone to recognize the new memory.

The trick is to hack the phone to make Dropbox think you have a different phone. Dropbox gives out more storage to Samsung GS3 than to the HTC One X. Look it up and you'll find the way to do it. But I agree it is a bit unethical. I'm happy with what I got from Dropbox for HTC devices.

Didn't get your dropbox free 25 gigs there's hope 50 gig box account free

If you obtain drop box storage illegitimately, they will ban your account and your phone IMEI lol. Not a good trade off.

I've had my 75gb since day 1. 25 hox 50 gsIII. Of course 25 was legit, 50 wasn't. And they are both attached to my paid account. I know I read where they were taking them back. Doubt they would ban my account since they get a monthly from me. We'ii see I guess

I have a legit 78 MB myself. I'll lose 50 of that in a year I think.
I have 50 GB from Box, but last time I looked it was so hard to use, no auto upload integration etc. Has that improved?

You could lucky and not get banned or taken away. There are just a couple people who have reported to have been banned. I was honestly going to do it, I'm all for getting free stuff. But I don't want to lose all my drop box capabilities lol.

I know two people who switched and didn't have one that was locked down. One is a developer and one did some theming.

what about if its cool ,popular and a better phone?.... millions own it already not a hard thing to find out why its such a success.
many of the people at my work place own one.. and none of them even know whats xda.. so is being unlocked still the key to that success?

If you don't have one then you don't know what your missing. S3 is just good in every department!! Say no more cuzzy!!

I have an S3 on my account, I got it for a buddy of mine. I've spent a good deal of time playing with it and can't see the appeal at all. It just isn't anywhere near as nice as the HOX. 2GB of RAM, that's it. Everything else about it sucks compared to the HOX. My 1GB is working just fine for me.

Bingo u hit the nail on the head. People complain about the lack of removable battery. Ummmmmmm maybe 10% of pple would actually carry a spare. IPhone doesn't remove battery and I'm sure we're all aware of how well that does. And as far as storage goes, yea it wouldn't hurt to atleast have 32gb. But I havent filled 16. So consider me happy.

Then you should ask them. And couple people isn't everyone.
The main reason is: most users if they don't buy the iPhone they'll go for sammy because of the brand. You don't know much about a smartphone but you at least know they make good tv's, computers, refrigerators, you name it. Where else do you see the HTC logo? Many people didn't hear about it. So, obviously pick the Samsung instead.

hmmm
What is the big deal about which smartphone you use? I would bet that most people on XDA are pretty well clued up about phone tech and so, money permitting, they will make an informed purchase, buying the phone that suits them best.
I own the SGS3 and yeah, I think it is top notch handset, but that doesn't mean I diss other handsets. I like to think I'm more evolved than that (though some of my pals would dispute that :laugh. If someone comes to me for smartphone buying advice, I will try my best to give an informed opinion based on my experience and their tech knowledge and needs...and quite often I'd send them down the iPhone route, not because I think it is a better phone (though Apple, whether you like it or not, make fantastic hardware, just a shame about the company ethos), but because it is probably the best phone for them.
Most on this particular thread will probably own an HTC...again good top noth handsets, but I personally avoid them due to a very bad customer service experience a couple of years ago (threads can be found elsewhere), but that doesn't stop me recommending them to others (though I do also relate my experiences). And many others on XDA will own a whole variety of other smartphones.
The point is, does it matter which phone you own? Yes, some people will spend a fortune on a top end handset just for bragging rights, but there's nothing worse than a 'phone snob'. Most of us on XDA buy what is best for us and are generally happy and if we're not, we switch.
You pays your (hard earned) cash and makes your (well informed) choice. Enjoy what you have, worry not what other think about it and be proud that you are part of XDA and have the knowledge to tinker with and give advice about your techie toys. Just don't get caught up in a 'mine's better than yours' debate.
Happy tinkering folks!

robbed =[[[

so yeah i got robbed for my htc one xl. sucks cause i really enjoyed the phone, I have best buy insurance and was thinking that I could probably just buy a broken one or bricked one and take it to them as if it was mine and have them repair it. They dont have the serial on mine just the sku number that they used to see what phone i wanted to protect. Anyone happen to be selling a really broken htc one xl or bricked one. :victory: I will be forever grateful. im stuck using an htc google nexus one which is pretty slow and really small compared to the one xl. =[ any other advice would also be great, not sure on what to do now .

Does your carrier not support tracking your device when lost or stolen?
Also, they may require the imei when returning. You'd need a full on brick. For them not to be able to tell in store.

Next time, install Lookout Security and it will be able to track your phone via GPS or whatever location services are available at hand. You can use the Signal Flare just for kicks and to scare the guy, too.

I am very surprised if other carriers don't offer this service free as I know both rogers and Telus do. Surely bigger American companies must as well.
