Keeping this phone?

Ive been debating on returning this phone for a Samsung galaxy note. I love flashing random themes etc. But I'm inpatient.. would the note be a better choice or should I just suck it up and expect great things to happen

Suck it up. One x is miles ahead of note in terms of, well, everything. Other than screen size. But 4.7 superlcd2 just blows it away.

The note is very akward. We really just got this ones x thing in some sort of working order a few days ago. Roms are starting to show up, themes are coming. There is no phone better than this.

I had the galaxy nexus...horrible phone. Camera sucks, battery was the worse battery i have ever delt with. And besides miui, all the roms are the same IMO, stick with this beast of a phone, once kernel source is released this will take off.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

I had the international One x sold it because of screen getting yellow spots and it was overheating. Just got the GN and is far better smooth and very fast. Faster then HTC One X. And its still stock.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

Because it is made by Samsung, the world largest plastic consumer.

I personally like sense4 when its modded a little bit I have the gnex and the Rogers hox... The one x is clearly a better phone just in build quality alone. I kept my gnex for tinkering and when the next big release of Android comes out

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

If it was me I'd keep the One X and play with Jellybean on the Nexus 7

which nexus? if having the most current software as fast as possible is that important to you then its a no brainier. if not, I'd keep the one x.

i'd say stick with the one x and get the nexus 7. thats my opinion

One X + Nexus 7= Android heaven

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I pre ordered the Nexus 7 the day it hit the Google Play store... I will keep my One X until the next Nexus gens come out..
Its a win, win in my opinion...

why dont u just keep the hox, flash the latest aokp rom so you have something that resembles aosp
i had the nexus before i bought the hox, the hox wins hands down. i too missed the clean google experience, im not gonna lie, but this latest aokp rom is doing a great job of making me forget my nexus
and it will only get better once we get source.

I disagree, we have more freedom stock than an iPhone does or ever will have
And with root our phones blow away the iPhone
I've had them and I've jailbroke them for friends.
The only advantage I will say is the hardware is great and since they create the hardware and software it has better app development

The theming was nice, but man did all those tweaks and such slow my phone down. I reset it and gave it to my kid for gaming, and it was like I had a new phone it was so much snappier.
Contrast that to how much faster and smoother you can make an Android phone by rooting and romming it.
I don't think I'm going to regret jumping ship but I am curious to see where they go with this one.

I tried an iphone. Wanted to love it. Sold it and bought this phone on launch day. Love my ipad and mac but I'm android on my phone.

Leave the apple products to the people who don't have half a brain to learn something new. The Android ecosystem is always changing and dynamic, always something to be learned and discovered. Apple is just a closed and elitist ecosystem that died with Steve Jobs.

If Apple ever made their phones run iOS(i-open source) I'd think about it.

AT&T jellybean update?

Y'all think AT&T has plans to update straight to 4.2 instead of 4.1.1 seeing as how the hox+ update is already in progress.

doubt it. they'll probably update it to 4.1.1, and then that'll be the last update we see from them.

I read this on a google news search might be BS but I'd love it. And most phones usually get at the most one or two updates small or big doesn't matter too the companies, seeing as how they would want there customers to upgrade their phones in the name of making more money.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk HD

i'm growing increasingly impatient with htc. Once you go Nexus nothing really compares after imo

I think that is the main reason why jellybean is so late. They are going to give us that one update and that's it.

Its a tough call for me. Nexus devices are supported pretty darn well. I mean, nexus s got jellybean and it can barely run it. (read run it smoothly for longer than two weeks)
But on the other hand, I tried a phone with no sense available, and I realized how much I liked sense (even though I'm only on it like half the time)
But my point is, sense is the slickest, most coherent ui overlay, and that has got to take time to do properly. Yeah, yeah, they drag their heels so we upgrade...but in all fairness, I do think they put a lot of work into it.
I think in the end I've decided that a stable version of sense is worth two of aosp. That's just my personal opinion.
After a decent aosp jellybean was released for desire z, I found myself still running gb sense 2.1. It was just a great OS that was hard to fault.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Yeah, they'll give us 4.2.1 with sense 5 because AT&T is the best!

I imagine we won't get an update until the hox+ gets there's

ATT is run by an arrogant ahole who only cares about the stock price(Randall Stevenson I'm calling you out). Why actually spend money on getting us JB when he can continue to line his pockets. "Eat the rich, its the only thing that they are good for"-Aerosmith
Couldn't be truer. Do nothing paper pushing thieves. He cost att billions in the failed tmo merger and got a 20+ million bonus and then they re-elected him. Ponderous to say the least. If anyone of us cost their company billions, we would be fired and probably brought up on charges.

He's right contracts suck. I'm also waiting for the nexus 5, but if you're not a patient person get a dev or AOSP One. The SGS line died with the S4.

I like the Galaxy's for 2 reasons, black blacks, (very nice on aosp for everything to be black instead of gray), and the software features like the pausing and all of that. But I like sense. I would also like to have the next Google phone. Too many choices.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

you can buy the vanilla htc one from the play store without contracts, also htc sells an unlocked edition on his site. The nexus are way cheaper, though.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!

I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
