This is my 4th HTC One X.
The first one I had was overheating, I took it an ATT store for replacement.
I went back to my iPhone 4s.
The second one was flawless at first, then I saw some spots on the screen that looks like dead pixel. It was like the size of a quarter, but you only notice it over a white background. It was also rebooting randomly. I took it back to the store for a replacement.
I went back to my iPhone 4s.
The 3rd one, I woke up one day, and it would not power up anymore. I took it to the store for a replacement and they told me to call At&T warranty department. They shipped me a new one.
I went back to the iPhone 4s while waiting for it.
This phone has all the bells and whistles, but when it comes to reliability, nothing beats the iPhone.
I have had my iPhone 4s for over 2 years now, and I never had any issues with it, and I believe this is what makes the iPhone great.

Good for you OP. I personally can't go back to the tiny screen. Once I've tried LTE & bigger screen, I just couldn't go back.
Just bad luck. The only reason to go back for me would be one handed use which comes handy during long commute. But, other than that, this phone is just awesome. And, once you get used to high quality 4.7 inch screen, there is no going back to 3.5.

The HOX screen gives the impression that whatever it displays is literally on top of the screen. When you look at an iPhone, the display feels sunk in. The raw texture if this screen feels so much better IMO. I've almost switched to the iPhone multiple times but Android has just always been for me. So much more freedom.
Meh, it's no longer worth comparing Android and iOS devices in terms of hardware, but I will say that the One X has some pretty significant build quality issues, presumably an issue of needing tighter manufacturer specification and narrower acceptable tolerances in all parts. The base design is basically sound besides the flexible casing that seems to have some issues with expansion/getting looser, but otherwise it is a solid device.
I just hope that HTC learns from their lessons this year and makes a phone that can easily last 4 years or so.

Truth. I used to make fun of bigger-screened phones, but now I am totally sold.
I doubt I'd want much bigger than 4.7...
...and I might be able to live with a 4 or a 4.5, but I'd definitely have a lot of trouble going back to 3.5.
I still think something like the Note would be overkill for me, though.
I tried the iPhone for the first time a few days ago before I almost threw it across the room cause it lags. Going from a hox to something that slow with no customization is extremely hard

You can't be ignorant and say an iPhone ain't good, it is, just no Better then HOX, especially after you root, over clock, delete bloat ware, run custom ROM and kernel, than an iPhone has no shot at being faster than a HOX

As much as I dislike the Iphone due to its small screen and multitasking and Im also a big HTC fan, I totally understand how you feel. A smaller phone w more limited multitasking is still better than a phone that doesnt function properly. HTC'd better pull their sh** together if they dont want to lose any more customers. That being said, I still commend them for taking the risk and going w such a drastic change in design and manufacturing, unlike some Android company that keeps recycling the same designs over and over again.

Stop exaggerating. The Iphone despite its short comings is still a very good phone. A paper weight doesnt even have a screen. If you cant see the differences between them how can you have the mental capacity to even use an Android phone.

You got my point, I wasn't trying to start anything, just sharing the experience I have had so far.
I mean, I love the HTC one X, that's why I bought it in the first place. I love the bigger screen, the nice looking HD screen, the level of customization, widgets, the beautiful camera, etc... as I said this phone have all the bells and whistles.
But it falls short in terms of reliability when compared to the iphone. As someone mentioned before:
I will say that the One X has some pretty significant build quality issues, presumably an issue of needing tighter manufacturer specification and narrower acceptable tolerances in all parts

I totally agree with that.
I can guarantee that everyone in here has had some type of issue with their HTC one X, be it random reboot, freezing, overheating, WIFI disconnection, etc... and this is not only happening once, but enough to be noticeable and annoying. This is unacceptable, especially for something that costs over $600, and this is presumably the top of the line android phone. This phone is only a couple of months old, but if you google any of these issues, you will see a lot of discussions.
I can live with these issues for now, as long as the phone does not die on me, but in the future, I will think twice before buying one.
(NB: I have not rooted, or unlocked any of my HTC phones, everything was factory default)
Coming from an iPhone, I did set my expectation very high in terms of reliability.
BTW, I have owned an iphone 3, iphone 4 and iphone 4s, and I can tell you that I have never experienced any of the issues I listed above. I sold all of them except for the 4S that I keep as a backup.
I am a test engineer (QA) by the way, so I know a lot about build quality and testing a product (both harware and software) before releasing it to the public.
Months before releasing new iphone, Apple gives prototype to their engineer and regular people to test the phone in the real world and report back any issues.
I am pretty sure HTC engineers (ie:QA engineers) in some way or another were aware of at least some of these issues to some extend, but decided to release it anyway to the public.
Again, I love this phone, it is the best looking android phone I have had. I am just not very comfortable ( ?little bit scared? ) about the longevity, that's why I kept my iphone 4s as a backup phone just in case, otherwise I would have sold it a long time ago.
And remember, any new smartphone that comes out (android or windows) is going to be compared to the iphone. So if you want you product to stand out, study your competition and listen to your customers.

I purchased a Galaxy Nexus just a few weeks ago from Google and was loving it. Other than a few minor gripes here and there, I had no major issue with the phone and wasn't looking to replace it.
After seeing the One X reviews and how highly it was praised, I really didn't feel like I had a choice. My fate was sealed.
Having both phones in my possession, I'm going to list what I feel are benefits of the One X over the Galaxy Nexus, mostly related to software and the Sense Enhancements. I'll also list a few cons, because nothing is perfect.
Pros
Twitter contacts actually sync - This has been broken on all of my other Android phones to date. Sense is able to make it work and I really missed it.
Smartdialer - I use this feature a lot and stock Android doesn't have it.
Brighter Screen - On almost 60% brightness, my Nexus looked okay to me, but on about 40%, the One X is actually brighter.
Mail Sorting - Love that you can create sort tabs (such as unread) in the Mail client on the One X.
Camera Enhancements - I could go on and on for days on this one. I'll just briefly mention burst being built-in, rather than a seprate app or setting (awesome feature), quick access to scenes, and quick access to the flash. Also, having the camera and video buttons on the same screen is something that should have been done long ago. The toggle is old news.
Keyboard - It seems like everyone who reviewed the One X hated the keyboard. I was expecting to replace it right away. I actually find that I like it. Am I the only one?
People - I love the contact integration. On the Nexus, you only have Google + fully integrated. On Sense, you get Twitter and Facebook feeds as well as albums. It's how it should be on all phones, in my opinion.
Screen - All of the reviews on the screen are what sold me on this device. I thought the Galaxy Nexus looked really good, but the reviewers were right: There's no comparison to this screen. iPhone might have slightly higher pixel density, but that's on a screen over an inch smaller. The brightness and clarity on this screen is amazing and I no longer fear white backgrounds and light wallpapers (battery life).
Cons
Slower Exchange Mail - I can't quite put my finger on it, but my mail is coming in slower on my activesync accounts. Smart sync is off on those accounts and yet, I get e-mails on my iPad and Galaxy Nexus almost a minute faster, in some cases. It is a negligable delay, but a con for me, nonetheless.
Front Camera Toggle - This was actually something I used quite regularly and now it's buried, instead of quickly accessible. I think I would have rather had this than the button for effects.
Camera nipple - The One X is such a beautiful device. I would love to use it without a case, but I feel like if I do, I'll scratch the camera lense, or at least the ring, eventually. I wish it didn't protrude so far. I'm going to get a case to even it out.
Updates - HTC has actually been pretty fast with updates, but I still have a feeling that it will be 4-6 months after the Nexus gets Jellybean before we see it on this phone. Still, the software enhancements of Sense compensate for that somewhat.
Multitasking - The multitasking on the One X is beautiful, but it's form over function. On stock ICS, you can see all of the open apps and quickly scroll through them and dismiss them, Sense went with the full screen, card-like WebOS approach and now we can only look at one at a time. It makes looking for that open app a little more tedious.
That's my list so far. Loving my One X and the Cons in no way discourage me from keeping this phone. This really is the best android phone I have ever owned and I have had quite a few. Battery life is still up in the air. I haven't had it long enough to really test, but my Nexus was giving me a full day with 50% when I plugged it in. Based on reviews, I'm expecting even better with the One X.
I would be interested to see your pros and cons and what you agree/disagree with me on my lists.
Yeah looks pretty accurate to me. The biggest change for me is LTE.. my nexus is GSM and honestly its hard to go back. 3g feels like edge now.. I miss being able to take the battery out as well but everything else really is an upgrade from the nexus. I'll never sell my nexus simply because its my ticket to new versions of Android but I'll be rocking the one x as my daily driver from now on..

Oh man. I forgot LTE! Yes, it's very fast in my area and definitely makes everything more snappy.
I'm with you. I'm going to keep my Gnex just so I can play with Jellybean when it comes out. I'm a phone addict. It's sad.
Don't forget the incredible battery life.
I had roughly 1day 8hrs with 4+hrs of screen on time WITH wifi on 100% of that after just my first charge of the phone.
Can't beat that with a stick. I wager in my day to day use (not playing video games for a solid hour on it and no wifi) I could go a full 2 days with no charge.
About the LTE. How do you know you're on LTE? Mine says 4g in the corner all the time, not LTE. Wonder if I got the wrong sim card. The guy at the at&t store didn't even know if the phone took micro sim and had to ask his manager.
Does an LTE card have any special markings?

LTE sim card is definitely different than regular. I'm using a full-size LTE card cut down with a sim cutter, so I couldn't tell you if it's supposed to say LTE or not. Are you sure you're in an LTE coverage area? There aren't a lot of markets yet.
It should say 4G LTE in the notification bar if you're on it. You would definitely know.

you're likely on 4G HSPA+ (Not LTE). Has LTE been deployed where you are? If not, the phone will just say 4G (while on HSPA+) and when on LTE say "4G LTE" in the icon.

yeah the icon will say 4G LTE. just 4G means HSPA+
that was one of the big pluses, though, the LTE. LTE, the camera and screen make it easily better than the GNex. then throw in the new SoC and i don't see why anyone would want a GNex over this device.

You have to weigh the pros and cons. Galaxy Nexus is a great device. And the screen isn't bad at all. But I would recommend the One X (even with locked bootloader) if any of this is more important to you:
Best possible screen quality
LTE
Contact integration with social networks
HTC's widgets (such as Friendstream)
Badass Camera software with Burst mode and all kinds of other options.
Both phones run really smooth, but my impression is that the One X has better overall hardware and should get much better battery life than the Nexus. You also don't have to stick to dark backgrounds and themes to maximize that.
Based on GSMarena's battery tests, the One X should get over double the web browsing time of the GSM Nexus. It seems like you can basically get away with much more screen time, which means you can use your phone more and not worry about it.

agree... One X is my workphone (for now). a big winner for me is HTC's email client vs. the native email client on the GNex. i like the threaded messages view and push schedules by account features. nonetheless, the GNex is still a cool device and i will probably keep it for a long time. (still have a Nexus One and Nexus S).

So far I'm happy with the 1X, don't miss my Gnex. Camera is tons better, and its really effing snappy/fast.
I have had it random reboot twice since I've had it. Also, when dragging the notification bar down on the lock screen for a text (handcent) 80% of the time it won't unlock/goto handcent. I have to unlock it after hitting the notification, and then it goes into Handcent. Also, had the camera app stop responding, couldn't get it to come back up without rebooting.
Anyone else? Considered doing a wipe/factory reset.
Hey guys, I just sold my LTE Note and now I need to decide what my next phone is going to be. I have narrowed it down to the HTC One X and the GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I'm leaning towards the One X, but I know it has the locked bootloader so I am skeptical. I also see some people talking about problems with multitasking.
What are some opinions on the HTC One X? Is the AT&T version going to get good dev support? Anybody move from a GSM Nexus to the One X and regret it? Should I just get an international version for the better processor and unlockable bootloader?
one x, better screen, battery life, camera. just use apex launcher until we get bootloader unlock and cm9. theres a bunch of mods out there too, you can swap the multitask button with menu and long press home becomes multitask, my favorite
Thatg is correct.
International version doesn't have the better processor. More doesn't always equal better.

AT&T One X user here. Hardware is fantastic; software is buggy. I ordered a Gnex from the play store and it is arriving today. Assuming that wifi and push email work properly on the Gnex, I will be keeping it and return the One X.
If somehow wifi and push email are as bad on the Gnex as they are on the One X, then I will return the Gnex.

Sorry i'd probably go with the Gnex -The Multitasking thing makes my skin crawl - I could go with Apple's way of doing oppose to HTC's version - 2 step forward 3 steps back. I'm considering the Samsung Note - why did you sale yours?

Lots of people have also reported problems with the update, plus you can't revert back, which might make it difficult to return the phone. Gotta wait for the official but hopefully it will be out before my 30 days are up.

I'm returning the GNex today but am a little sad to see it go. I bought the nexus as soon as it hit the Play Store but for all it has going for it, the HTC is better where it really counts.
On the Nexus the UI is really smooth and I like the look of stock ICS. But I've had radio issues and the speed on AT&T is so much faster on the HOX and I'm not in an LTE area. Add in the better screen (way way better in sunlight and no fringing from Pentile) better camera, louder and clearer speakerphone, and you have a great phone that works very well.
Of course everyone has their own opinion and needs. For me this is finally the one that got me off the Apple cart.
(seriously the HSPA+ Nexus got around 4-6 down and the HOX gets up to 11+ (10 consistently with 4 bars at my office.) Plus AT&T will only give you 3G unless you give them a bogus IMEI since the Nexus is unlocked.)

the LTE version has this mod now??..i thought they couldn't do the long press home?
Thanks for the reply's guys. It's looking more and more like it will be One X. Now I just gotta wait for paypal to release my cash and I'll be hitting amazon up immediately.
If anyone has any further opinions please share them.
i came from the Gnex using it since it came out. One X is just plain better.
I've had the gnex for a few months now and just purchased the HOX. Trying to decide which one to keep. I unfortunately don't live in an lte market so that's really not an issue at this point.
They both have their pros and cons but the one thing I can't seem to get past is the screen on the HOX...it's awesome! For me that might ultimately be the deciding factor.

Add in the better screen (way way better in sunlight and no fringing from Pentile) better camera, louder and clearer speakerphone, and you have a great phone that works very well.
Of course everyone has their own opinion and needs. For me this is finally the one that got me off the Apple cart.
(seriously the HSPA+ Nexus got around 4-6 down and the HOX gets up to 11+ (10 consistently with 4 bars at my office.) Plus AT&T will only give you 3G unless you give them a bogus IMEI since the Nexus is unlocked.)

lol my GNex was doing good if it got 4 down. on AT&T LTE here i get 20 down easy. just kills the GNex when it comes to network speed. this is also faster than Verizon's LTE network here in Charlotte.
but yeah, as others have said, better camera and better screen. then throw in a better SoC and i don't see why you'd want a GNex. the only thing i miss about my GNex is it felt better in my hand and i loved having the sleep/wake button on the side versus the top. i'm a leftly and having it placed there had me handling the phone more with my right hand just because it was so easy to turn on and not have to re-adjust my hand. always have to re-adjust with the HOX no matter which hand i'm using. if the bootloader ever gets unlocked and we have s-off, though, wake can be re-mapped to the volume rocker which would make this tiny complaint non-existent.
Crew, I hope I am not hijacking this thread but....
I still use the HTC HD2 running WinMo 6.5. I don't want to own an apple product and I am a bit leary of the Win7 platform. Have not met an unhappy Android user and so I am leaning toward the HOX (ATT).
Though I tricked out my HD2 it has been a while and I am sure there is some learning curve to tricking out a new HOX. I've read about some drawbacks but some seasoned users seem to play them down.
I use my phone primarily for business and my current homescreen gives me weather, msg icons (vm, txt, missed calls, email), a multi day agenda for my calendar, a number of favorite caller buttons, all of my most used programs. This set up allows me to work 90% of what I do right off the home screen without going to a 2nd level screen or 3rd level screen. I want to be sure I can do this with ICS
Also, I was looking at another droid forum and it seems to show that the dpi's could be easily adjusted and same with processor....maybe it was the HP tablet. Are these things people are doing with the HOX?
I'm also voting for the One X , it's by no means the perfect phone, but I got my gnex the day it came out on Verizon and also got my HOX the day it came out and the One X is a superior device in every way except for MT but that should be fixed with a software update.

You are also comparing the weaker Nexus to the superior One X.

Exactly what I wanted to say. Only thing I miss on gnex is the ergonomics. It felt much better holding it while in use. Other than that (well maybe vanilla ics, but will eventually happen with hox), I prefer hox. Hope this helps.

Well I just bought a One X from the MP. Should be here this week. I just noticed that there are more One X's in the MP than any other phone right now. Why is that? Are there any serious flaws with the phone? Or is everyone switching to the S3?

Clearly it's just too much phone for people to handle. That's the only explanation I can think of. It's an amazing device and is easily the best phone on the market today.

This. Lot's of ADHD too
Oh look it's pebble blue and so shiny.........
It could also be people up for an upgrade, and are content with their current phone so they take the trade, sell the phone and keep using their old one. Makes sense I suppose. If you like your phone and are willing to extend your contract you may as well take the trade and resell the phone for a 200-400 dollar(plus) payback from it. I thought about the same up until my xperia x10 started getting kinda buggy no matter what rom I had running on it [but i so so so miss that phone. oh the curves and design <\\3]. But the One X is a nice device. Plus some people prefer that ooh-look-I-have-the-best-device method. Same as people trading in their older xbox for the new slim one. To jump off topic on that, I've got a cod4 disk that works fine on my xbox [older] but on the slim it wont even detect the name of the game xD. <back on topic> I envy the "watch video while texting" feature on the SG3 but... Its not very erm... Usable in my opinion. If i'm gunna be texting someone, i wont be paying much attention to the video.
I also think that you're also seeing a very vocal minority. It's rare that forum space is dedicated to praise of a phone, or anything, really. Personally, I love this phone and have zero interest in anything else out there...if only they'd release the kernel...
It's because they are prematurely ejaculating over the pebble blue and marble white. I'll stick to my 1X.

In my experience (gone through 3 one x) there have been a bunch of problems on early devices, all three of mine have had the same connection issue, similar to what the OP has described.

OP, I was noticing this too (mainly because I was interested in picking up a One X, so I was looking for one). I think it's a combination of people being wow'd by the GSIII, early adopters wanting to try the latest and greatest, and people that just like to switch it up all the time.
I'm not complaining, though...I picked up one off the MP last night for $375. This is after I picked up a GNex earlier this week...LOL. I've just been wow'd by the One X's that I've played with, so I figured this would be a great chance to give one a go.
Of course, I'm also planning on getting a GSIII (I had a GSII until a couple of weeks ago and loved it). After I get it, I'll probably use all 3 for a little bit and then sell the one(s) that I like the least. I'll probably keep the GNex no matter what because I really like it and I'm interested to see what JB is all about.
Poor Quality control is one of the reasons.
HTC has been releasing way too many HOX with screen rippling issues when pressed, dead pixels, creaking unibody, heat issues and etc etc. Not the best from HTC.
IF you're lucky enough to get a well made HOX then that's great but personally I ended up with a bad one. Dead pixel, creaky body, heat issues, LCD rippling :/

Stumbled on this while randomly browsing the HOX forums...awesome app!!! I probably won't use it a lot, but glad to know I can use another one of the GS3's "exclusive features" flawlessly
Just got the phone and I can see why people wanna get rid of it :/ Just kidding lol. Its awesome. First thing I did was root/unlock/blal blah blah and flashed cleanrom 3.1.1. Everythings running great Loving it so far. Cant use it on a network for another week but so far no issues at all
I got the HOX right when it came out and have had zero problems with it, personally its the best phone I've ever owned. People may be selling them because they don't want or can't unlock the bootloader.
I love the phone myself and have had to exchange it three times, but it's been worth the hassle. I am also going to pick up the new Xperia this weekend.

Yep, I've exchanged mine 4 times. I love it. Wouldn't have gone through all that trouble if I didn't.
I checked out the Xperia, it's a really slick looking phone but felt really dated once I actually turned it on. The UI was waaaay too choppy for me... and it runs Gingerbread.

Side note.. I've exchanged mine 9 times with att. The tenth one will be here next week and hopefully its the last one. Turns out my Wi-Fi repeater in my house was the cause for my sim card and wifi problems. Over driving the chip its self.

I've been trying to trade my HOX for a GS3 for a few days now but I'm getting ahead of myself so let me start from the beginning. I started out with my GNex and heard about the HOX and how amazing it was so like any other android enthusiast I immediately set my sights on acquiring one. However it wasn't as simple as that lol I tried for months to acquire one, refusing to pay cash, to no avail. With a somewhat mild sadness I gave up in defeat and made my piece with my GNex. Little did I know a ray of "hope" was gonna shine on me by way of the GS3 lol after leaks, rumors and shady speculation I immediately fell in love with it but the HOX still had a place in my heart I just could not get the simple elegance of that contour unibody silhouette out of my mind. So pushing all those mixed emotions and thoughts aside I decided to pursue the GS3. After finally acquiring one, which was a feat in and of itself, I spent a week with it and I must admit I treated it like a dirty mistress lol my GNex got shelved almost immediately and I used it every minute of that week. As the week was drawing to a close I sat down and thought about what exactly made me love the GS3 so much. Was it the design? Kinda. Was it the name? Not so much. Or was it the software? I came to the decision that this was the sorce of my affection. After coming to this realization I returned the GS3 and took my GNex of the shelf and fell for it all over again with the buttery sweet allure of Jellybean lol After using it as my daily once again I came to a settled state of mind and convinced myself that I was content in my decision to stay with the GNex. That was until I decided to peruse the marketplace on a whim. Then to what seemed to be that of a dream inside of a looking glass I saw that someone was willing to trade their HOX for a GNex. The first thought in my mind was &#&%@&&#&@* yeah!!! Lol I then preceded into making a trade and within 24 hours I had finally received my long awaited love. All those repressed thoughts and emotions came flooding back like a tsunami. And now as I type from my HOX I can now say that I am indeed content with this beautifully crafted piece of artwork....that is until the next thing comes out lol

Amazing story bro hahaha... although this phone had a small introduction, from the second I seen it I was also in love. Had to have it. Once I got it, the nostalgia was unreal. I can't stay off of it, can't stop customizing it. I've played around with a JB nexus, I play around with my buddies lte GS3.... I just don't think they compare to my OneX. We do alot of modding and different roms.. my benchmarks absolutely tower over theirs, do side by side comparisons and mine is just way more snappy flipping through screens, in and out of apps, and going in and out of app drawer... not to mention the screen is out of this world. My wife accidently dropped it (never left a mark).... almost divorced her lol. So I came to my senses, rubbed her back and told her it was OK... I'm talking about my OneX of course hahaha.

I as well really was blown away when I first saw the phone make its debut in Barcelona at the convention. Being on sprint i was very disappointed that sprint had decided to keep the evo line going and not go with the at lease the look of the one-x. So after months of trying to decide of weather to leave sprint or take the move to att I finally took the plunge last Sunday and I have made the move. I absolutely love this phone, coming from my great OG EVO this phone rocks. The only and I mean only con I can say (at least for me) is the lack of the total 16gigs and sd slot. I mean can learn how to manage not having and SD but the fact that i don't have all of my 16 gigs (to be honest even 15 or so would have been nice) I kinda ticking me off, but not enough to leave this phone. Thanks again HTC for making a really good looking phone.
Awesome phone
Yea I know what ya mean. I saw this phone knew I had to have it. Tried every way I could to get my hands on it. Had an atrix 2 before and no one wanted to trade with boot. So I broke down and done early upgrade and just gonna try to sell my atrix 2. Got my case in today and hated to put it on this beautiful phone. But its clear so I can still see its beauty haha
OP, my story sounds a lot like yours. At the moment, I've got 4 phones (insanity)...4S (which will go to my wife to replace her iPhone 4), GNex (which I love), One X (more about it in a second), and S3.
Like you, it started by perusing the MP. Initially, I found a GNex for a great price in mint condition. I jumped at it and it's a wonderful phone. My only gripe is the speaker volume on calls. The tweaks that worked to make it louder when it was on ICS don't work anymore on JB, so it's become my backup phone. If only I could make the volume louder, it would be the perfect phone for me.
A week or so later, I came across a One X in the MP. Again, great price and mint, so I took a flyer and got it too. This was just before the S3 came out and I'd already decided to try the S3 since I had a S2 that was awesome. The One X was everything I'd hoped for. Beautiful design and that screen...OMG that screen!
So...then the S3 was available. I grabbed one from Best Buy off-contract. I love this thing! It's everything i was hoping for and more. I don't even feel the need to root it.
So then, I told myself a decision had to be made. I wasn't going to keep 3 phones (GNex, HOX, and S3)...that's just silly...right? So after using each of them for a week, I came to the conclusion that I'd sell the HOX, as I wanted to keep the GNex as a "play" phone to mess with ROMs and such and since the S3 was going to have such a big development community behind it it would stay also.
About 4 days passed after selling the HOX and I found myself missing it. So, the search began again for another one. Sure enough, another beauty popped up on the MP and I snatched it up. So, here I sit...3 phones that I rotate between. LOL...it's a sickness!
I won't lie, though. My go-to phone is the S3. But every so often I switch it up for a day or two and use either the GNex or HOX and get my fix. I'll keep the S3 for a while, but eventually (probably when the next Nexus phone is coming) I'll sell the HOX and GNex to fund it. I have no intention of going back to the iPhone anytime soon, though. These 3, along with my Nexus 7, give me all I need and more.
Since the One X came out, ive had (in order) Grey One X, White SGS3, Blue SGS3, Grey Int One X, Grey One X, Red SGS3, White One X. Yes, im crazy. Basically, even though I like grey much more than white, im happy im going to stick (and finally decidedly staying) with the one x. SGS3 is the phone I wanted to like, but all I enjoyed was the removable battery and microSD card slot (didn't use it for swapping but just for more memory). I think I just fell for samsung's blitz of advertising.

LOL...I wouldn't say that. I make enough that I can put away some play money. The problem is, my hobbies keep evolving. First it was my motorcycle and having to buy all the gear that goes along with that (in multiples, of course...gotta be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you and wet leathers SUCK!) Now, on top of that expensive hobby, there's this phone hobby that I've developed. Ugh.
The key is to make sure you take care of the things that matter most first. My car is paid off...my motorcycle almost is...my bills are all static, so I know exactly what I have to pay out every month. Little by little, put away money in a savings account and before you know it, you've got a nice stash to play with.
The phone hobby is really only expensive at the beginning. Once you've got a couple of phones, you simply sell one and move on to the next one. Now the overhead is low (you sell X phone for $300 and buy Y (new) phone for $400 so you're only out $100 total). The key is knowing when to sell the old phone (a window I've probably missed on the HOX...but I'll still get a decent amount out of it).

Software is software, we will get Jelly Bean in time. Screen, build, camera (DEF CAMERA) are way better on the one x. Dont downgrade yourself.

To be honest, I wouldn't give up my GNex for the HOX. The HOX is amazing, don't get me wrong. But the GNex is just so much fun with all the ROMs you can play with. The camera isn't THAT bad and if you use another kernel like Franco or Trinity, you can tweak the screen to be pretty darn good. One thing I love about the GNex is that it's nearly unbrickable. Unless you really screw something up, you almost can't.
I'd recommend both to anyone, though.

while I loved my galaxy nexus, AOSP was just too boring for me plus I don't really like the Holo theme all that much. I prefer the look and feel of stock sense... plus, this phone is dead gorgeous! yes, I know sold an open phone for a "closed" one, but all the roms over in the GN are just AOSP Jelly Bean... there were no real differentiators except some mods tweaks here and there.
Plus, I can't wait to get Jelly Bean Sense... I loved the changes in the notification drawer and the way notifications were displayed as well as the ability to have high res contact pics (synced with Google)

Thats exactly how I felt. Sure there 78 ROMS and 43 Kernels, but the phone is still visually 80% the same between all of them. ive been rooting/flashing my phones for a few years, and I gotta say that honestly, I have a 100% stock/unrooted 2.20 OTA One X and theres not a single want to change that (other than maybe ADFREE)

This. I'm running the rooted, odexed version of 2.20... the only reason I care to do root is AdAway and I do like to flash the occasional rom to check it out, but it seems like I always come back to stock 2.20.
Plus I can't stand AMOLED screens and how you can't see them in the daylight.

I was a DIEHARD SAMOLED fan, probably because of my bias toward Samsung (I love their TV's and have had them my entire adult life). But WOW, the daylight difference between these two is night and day. Big plus especially if you do alot of car-dock mode driving.
Funny thing is, is that I actually love AOKP/AOSP. I'm using CM9 on this HOX cause I can't stand sense. Only thing I want more on this phone are more kernels and OTG support. Then this will be perfect.
That I'm now buying an iPhone 5. I was an original iPhone guy, but went when they went glass to the Aria...then the Inspire...and the Inspire is quite possibly the worst phone ever. No ROMs can help it. Complete garbage. Anyone else done with Android or jumping ship over the Inspire's terribleness?
I might be able to see why you would show discontent with the Inspire. I personally think its the battery life, weight, and lack of front camera that brings it down. Although I've played with iPhones in the past, and I can't consider this this being close the worst phone. I can still make it last for a day with above moderate usage, and have grown accustomed to the weight. More than enough to make me satisfy the whole contract, which has about half a year longer. Can you go a bit more detailed in why you hate it?
it's funny I was just telling my boy the other day how this is best phone I've ever had! 2 years and still going strong...i like the weight.
I couldn't agree any more with you DPLOY. I love this phone. It doesn't feel flimsy, has plenty of processing speed and does pretty much anything you could want. That and I like playing with different ROMs all of the time.

Haven't you had this phone since it came out basically? I don't believe you for a second

It's the best phone I've ever had. Like the construction, the way it feels in my hand and the heft. When I drop it in the cargo pocket on my pants I keep having to check and make sure it's there, so the weight can't be that bad. I did my homework before I got it and knew the battery was on the small side, so I'm not going to complain that I have to plug it in once or twice a day.
And ROMs? Kept it on stock Sense for a couple of months, then rooted and flashed CM7. Since then I've gone to Ice Cold Sandwich and am now running JellyTime. Each one has been better than the last. And my ancient single-core Inspire is still faster, on most tasks, than my friends 4S's. Every time one of them shows me some neato thing on their iPhone I'm reminded again how thoroughly unimpressed I am with Apple's products. It's not that they're bad phones, they're just not all that impressive.
But if my Inspire WAS the worst phone ever, if it went nuts and ate all my personal info, sent all my contacts an F U text message and then caught fire and exploded in my pants pocket it would not be enough to make me send any of my money to Cupertino. Their product is nice, if a little bland, but their business practices are abhorrent.
If I ever get tired of Android (and after a couple of weeks on Jelly Bean I don't see that happening any time soon), Windows 7 is a darn nice OS. And Windows 8 looks even better.
But hey, if you hate it that much, send it to me. One of my boys would be happy to have it.
IMO, the Inspire was the best phone ive ever owned also. I started off with the very first iphone, then the 3g, 3gs, then 4. Basically ive owned every iphone out. Then i decided to try android and fell in love. Started with the captivate, had an atrix, then went to the inspire. I tried other phones also like the infuse, galaxy s2, vivid, and skyrocket and eventually ended up going back to the inspire. This phone runs perfect (smoothness, performance, and battery life) with the right rom, kernel, and radio set up. Only if the inspire had a FFC, thats the only thing the phone lacks..

That I'm now buying an iPhone 5. I was an original iPhone guy, but went when they went glass to the Aria...then the Inspire...and the Inspire is quite possibly the worst phone ever. No ROMs can help it. Complete garbage. Anyone else done with Android or jumping ship over the Inspire's terribleness?

You just have to know what your doing. The iPhone is made for your type so it will probably be the better choice for you. Android is made for people that want to be able to decide what their phone can or can't do, and have the tech knowledge to achieve it. IPhone is garbage and apple is a terrible company that stifles innovation. Iphones only good purpose is to make smart phones accessible to my grandma.

The iphone is basically a simple phone. I believe that the hype behind it is just because the apple name. Coming from the experience of being both iphone and Android owner there is so much more I can do with my android that I could not do with the apple. So in my opinion the apple is just an overpriced useless piece of crap, a suped up ipod thats all. I am completely amazed with my Inspire.
Terrible Phone??? Really?
The Inspire is a terrible phone??? Yet no comments on what made it terrible. Aside from the fact that HTC decided to give the phone a slightly inadequate battery, the phone has been great. For a single core it has been great. Once I got it rooted it was an excellent phone. I love the fact that I have so many options for this phone. If I want apps, music, or videos I can download direct, get from the market, or get from outside sources. With apple you have one choice...itunes...which I can't stand.
Calm down folks. I think we've been had.

I think you're right. I've seen that guy in the inspire forums over a year ago. I remember his avatar, unless someone else is using it.

Me too I know he had a thread (maybe a radio collection thread?) so it couldn't have been that bad.

Good luck with your one key Iphone now I don't know what Rom u are using but my inspire blows away most dual core phones. You have to remember the inspire is great for what it is a single core phone. I much rather have my HTC inspire then that stupid iPhone

Inspire with ICS... a sight for sore eyes. It's a great little phone when you get all of the bloat off of it. I've had mine for two years and now I'm giving it to my girlfriend to replace her iPhone because she's done with Apple and it's lockdown on everything you pay for. I've personally had four different ROMs on it and each had pros and cons. They've all been top notch though... ICS has been the best easily by far (but that probably has something to do with being an completely different operating system than Gingerbread).

You're right... typo!
IMO, one of the best single core phones ever. The amount of ram this phone has. I run Gingerbeast and have a little over 400mb free. This was my first Android, coming from the iPhone 3GS and a 4. I'm never looking back. I've had this baby since release and still love it!
Go enjoy your new toy phone.
