Hey guy I was thinking about buying HTC One X online and using it with T-mobile. I have the unlimited $49 plan which means any phone I buy that i have to pay full price for anyway. Also, I understand that it doesn't have the radio for 3G data but thats fine with me since I am on wifi 90% of my day.'
The only thing that I am worried about is tegra 3 making the phone lack dev support. Should I stay clear and wait for a GSIII or should I take the plunge?

That answers none of his questions lol, but good find I'll read it in a bit. Other then that I'm staying away from them for that one reason, I am almost positive that MoDaCo has already achieved root for the device and that means will possibly be working on the device himself... if that is the case, then you are in luck especially if you get the European version, cause that is the omr he will be working on. Other then that I vote no lol.

Tegra will always remain closed source and rely on hacked sources for anything to work. I love my g2x for its great performance in games but never again will I make the mistake of owning a nvidia based phone. Samsungs own Mali & TI OMAP based chips will always be ahead of tegra in my view.

We can hope more phones are going to use the Tegra 3 chip so you have a lot more resources to choose from. The reason the g2x is so bad is that it wasn't implemented on to many phones so there has been less devices to port from. With such a small amount of devices means a smaller chance they will be updated quickly. If one tegra 2 phone got upgraded to ice cream then we would have a fully working ice cream sandwich. With htc using it and it's reputation for upgrading devices quickly then you might have no problem with roms

Don't buy it, the current Tegra 3 is just a transitional SOC. You'll be in the same position as owning a phone with the Tegra 2 SOC - SOL.

Buy my new One S instead only $450 shipped
I posted this in the One X forums and have no replies and 63 views. I hope you guys can help me with my dilemma. I bought the Inspire off contract at the end of Feb last year and loved it. Qualified for my upgrade in Dec and upgraded to the Vivid near the end of Jan and love it. The One X is the phone I am wanting. That being said I've only used Snapdragon processors and stuck with HTC. Internally, the AT&T version is identical to the Vivid, minus the S4 processor. I will be selling my Inspire to help get this phone, as I have to pay full price whichever route I go. I will have the full price for either device next month and would like to know which I should get? I am really not concerned with LTE as my area won't have for at least another year and I'm always on WiFi. The T3X I can get for $670, the AT&T S4X I will be able to get for $550. Rooting does not concern me at this point, my Inspire is rooted and my Vivid is still locked and stock. Can you please help me with this decision? I don't want to have buyers remorse later this year. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

If you live in a Lte area or upcoming Lte area, this decision should
be a no-brainer imo. I personally would take the s4 soc over the tegra3.
s4x > t3x imho

Nope, live outside of Memphis. They won't get LTE for at least another year, and we will get it prolly another year after that. I'm mostly on WiFi on my LTE capable Vivid.

So, regardless of being only on WiFi, you all would say still get the S4X? Cause I'm thinking the S4X will give me better battery life than the Vivid and the T3X combined. Not to mention the fact it will be cheaper than the T3X.

I think you just answered your own question.
I say go with the S4 version since it will be cheaper. A lot of people will use their AT&T upgrade on the phone just to flip it on Ebay for a profit. You will be able to get the S4 version of the One X for under 500.00.

Lol... Just wait for the at&t version. From what I've read, the one XL
has rock solid battery life with Lte. Hopefully that statement is true.
I think it comes down to how much you value developer support. The One X looks like it will have solid third party developer support, and while I suspect the One XL on AT&T will also have decent support, the international versions of phones usually have significantly stronger developer support.
So, if you were to go with the One XL from AT&T, you'd be trading that extra level of dev support for a lower price, valid warranty, higher performance*, probably better battery life, and LTE (where available).
If support for the One X/XL is anything like the support for the Galaxy S/Captivate, I'd say holding out for the AT&T release of the One XL would be well worth it.

Yup. Was going to pick one up on ebay a couple of days ago because
of that, but I decided I prioritize Lte and the s4 chip more.
It will have ****ty bloat and the logo but I'm cool with that. (It will get
removed ). You're in a no-lose situation if you decide to pick up the
one x or one xl.

Coming from an Inspire prior to the Vivid, I do value XDA developer support. However, without S-Off I refuse to root my Vivid. However, we are real close to that now. Short term, I don't mind running the phone stock, as that's what I did with my Inspire and now Vivid. I just waited til Thanksgiving to root my Inspire. Once the S-Off process for the Vivid is out, I will finally root it. So, I don't mind using the S4X stock until S-Off, if it ever is, achieved.

The Vivid's S-OFF process will require HTCDev Unlock to work, but with S-OFF you can conveniently change the **UNLOCKED** flag to **LOCKED**.

Um, no. That is not how multi-core processors work. Seems like you've fallen for marketing gimmickry, instead of actual facts. Few apps, if any are optimized to take advantage of 4 cores, so the only benefit you see is in running processes in the background, switching between tasks, and the like.
If you look at the benchmark comparisons, the S4 beats Tegra 3 in most of them. Some will argue that Tegra 3 wins in some benchmarks, so the difference is probably marginal, either way. But S4 may win for battery life, and Tegra 3 is also having lots of issues on the One X (as you mentioned).

I have the international One X. If I had a choice, I'd go with S4 over Teg3. It's a much more modern and efficient chip and from benchmarks performs almost equally. Battery life on the One X so far is pretty terrifying where the One S with the S4 chip seems to fare much better (but it doesn't have a mammoth display either). The international One X is also experiencing some bizarre graphics and performance issues which are probably Teg3 related as the Asus Prime had similar issues until it received a couple of updates. Since LTE is now integrated in to the SoC the One XL should probably have the best battery life of any LTE device currently available.

The Snapdragon S4 which is a Cortex A15 level SOC and a new micro architecture is more powerful. In most tasks the Snapdragon S4 will be the faster of the two. And in quite a few head to head tests, the S4 literally destroys The Tegra 3. The Tegra 3 is a Cortex A9. Like comparing a old Core 2 Duo to a Intel Sandy bridge chip.
The one XL with the snapdragon S4 will most likely be the fastest SOC CPU wise probably until next year or late this year other than other phones running that chip. There isn't a Cortex A15 due on the horizon until that time later this year. OMAP 5 will be such a SOC. And even it will probably be only on par with the snapdragon S4 not out gun it. And than you have the Exynos 5250 which is a quad core cortex A15 later this year or next year. But than again Qualcomm has the Snapdragon S4 Pro, a quad-core A15 level chip to match it.
That means the Galaxy S3 will still be most likely running a 32nm-based Cortex A9 Exynos mobile processor, the Exynos 4212. The Exynos A15 based 5250 will not be ready until later this year. There is a slight chance it will make it into the Galaxy S3 but the chances are slim since they have not produced any in any numbers for production and the S3 will be released soon. The Exynos 4212 is similar to the Tegra 3 but with a better GPU.
The iphone 5 will run the A5X a dual core Cortex A9 with a quad core GPU at 32nm. Again, older microarchitecture.
So essentially the Snapdragon S4 will make the One Xl one of the most powerful if not the most powerful smartphone for the foreseeable future. Regardless of the Samsung S3 and the iphone 5 if they run the above mentioned SOC's. Which most likely they will.
Hardware wise the One xl will have few equals. Other than the 16GB of memory, it is a beast.
There are some reports of issues with the One X international version connecting properly to AT&T's HSPA network, despite having the proper band compatibility (850/1900 MHz). Also, Tegra 3 is having some video corruption and other issues.
I too was slightly considering the international version for use on AT&T, due to the increased storage, and potentially more developer support. And also probably better battery life by using HSPA instead of LTE. But the issues with the international version so far have me deciding against it.
I was worried about the 16 gb storage as well until i used the one XL for the few days that I actually had in our offices. Dropbox is so tightly integrated with The OS that you don't even know that you don't have more than 16 GB on the phone that's how integrated it is.
I uploaded a bunch of photos to the gallery and every time I went to the gallery to retrieve them they were instantly they're like the pictures were on the memory the whole time! don't worry you have plenty of space as long as you keep your photos and videos to drop box. and 25gb is plenty

Yes, I'm saying that juopunut S-OFF uses HTCDev unlock as a part of its exploit, you need your bootloader to be unlocked before you can get S-OFF.
Disclaimer: This method may have been due to the fact that my device or digitizer (I'll explain further) was damaged or I had a lemon. But here is my story:
- Sold an unlocked 4S for $450
- Wanted to try out Android and hate Sammy devices...
- Decided to give HTC One X a try
- Didn't have an upgrade so had to buy an unlocked international version because it released earlier.
With my international HTC One X from Malaysia, I would barely squeeze out 2hrs of screen time, and would have to charge my device 2-3x a day, and have yellow light leakage and spots around the screen. The device would get hot and had screen flexing and sensitivity issues. Right out of the box it was glitchy and the OTA's didnt solve much. I went from ROM to ROM to ROM and battery saving apps to CPU controls for a solution. I would literally drop 2-3% every minute, and sometimes in a matter of 5 mins I would drop 8% battery. I did the built in Battery test and would get 90% after an hour and it would say batter health = good. All of this to no avail, I WAS FED UP!
I was sick of it and found someone who wanted an International One X and had an AT&T One X. He knew about the battery and screen issues but decided to trade anyway.
BOY OH BOY! The difference is night and day. It's been a few days and I have never been happier with a phone. I get close to 4 hrs of screen time on the same level of usage on one charge. 3-4 hrs of music, 1 hr web browsing, texting and phone calls all day, facebook/twitter 2-3 hrs. No heat issues and no dropoff in performance even with just 2 cores. NO LAG or random reboots at all. If anything the device feels faster! While in hoboken/nyc the other day I got 4G LTE (since AT&T doesnt have LTE all over jersey yet) and it was freaking amazing. Close to the speeds I get with my FiOS connection at home.
Anything with Nvidia in it or on it I've ever owned so far has been faulty and been a nightmare. Idk if its just my badluck or coincidence.
But thats my story. I talked to my engineer buddy and he said my phone deff had a bad digitizer/screen that was eating the battery unnecessarily.
Anyone with their thoughts?
i would have prefered the one xl too but I have to say that with the leaked 2.05 base performance has been a lot better, almost as good as the one s.
Not being funny but who cares. You got the S4 one x and proud owner good. Was it so important to open a thread about it? Specially in the wrong forum. Open it in the at&t section at least.

funny that One X s4 owners keep pming me about ultra smooth launcher patch too...and One S owners too...
so really go to the One S/X AT&T section and see how many people are contemplating switching to T3 version
people are never happy when there is always (if)
by the way you had an obviously defective unit so how can you judge?
all screen issues you mention are a defect, even more those same manufacturing issues exists on the American One X too , so it was only your luck
the One X can give you over 2 hours and a half of heavy non stop tegra 3 THD gaming, on standby it barely spends anything ON STOCK ROM
so really you had a F****ed up unit and didn't experience a proper T3 One X
Yeah I think you made a mistake mate but each to there own.

I was tempted to get the XL rather than the X, because I think the S4 would have been adequate, and LTE would've been nice. However, 16GB vs 32GB settled the debate for me.

Well lots of people are in the same boat I think.... Bottom line though is that I would not look at another HTC device until its been out at least a month..... Am sticking to the HTC One X though as the prices have dropped a lot here in the UK if I were to swap to an S3, and not worth the extra £££ it will cost to change over..... Hopefully the reports of the newer roms sounds good and S-OFF getting closer will help those like me on a branded phone.

well i am on a branded phone and unlocked and rooted and could not be any happier. yeah it would be nice to have s-off to have the full potential of this phone but the one thing i love about this over the s3 is two things..
i much prefer now SLCD over Amoled for the fact that outside it is far more visible in the sun than Amoled. and second gaming on this phone is pure heaven cause you do not need to mess with third party software to play games which are specifically made for our handset...if i was to use the s3 more than likely i would have to use chainfire 3d to be able to play the nvidia games and i could not be asked with that
yes we only have few GL games to optimize but they do work in full
but the other devices they have to use chainfire for so many really attractive THD games and even then they will not run as good
im interested to see SGS3 running NOVA 3 in full mode, since it doesnt have all the effects officially (needs chainfire i think)

So if you haven't seen engadet or other sites there seems to be a HTC One X+ POSSIBLY coming to ATT and would be running stock Android 4.1.1 could this have been the reason for the recent price drop? Is it worth holding out on upgrading until this is all cleared up?
I really have to ask, but what else could they do to make this phone better?
Ship it with jelly bean? Cmon that's not going to be worth it, especially if its just a 'slightly' upgraded phone
The one x+ is going to be a tmobile phone, its going to have a quad core tegra with jelly bean, so its not an upgrade from ours. This phone beats out the tegra

Everyday usage is the same, though I get lte where she can't, but she has 32gb storage and we have 16.
Point of my post is, why is there that much hate between the two variants?

wow couldnt have said this better your right and the development and support the international version is getting is just so much better because they dont have to deal with att bull****
ans to the one who said we have a steady build of cm10 lol we dont trust me
we might soon but the devs are working their asses off and for every two steps they make forward at&t takes three steps back
The One X+ on AT&T would just be the international version with a slight overclock and an LTE radio, maybe a bigger battery. Not really all that great, and really it would be an awful move that would dilute the brand and create confusion due to the lack of a single flagship.
Now, if there was a One X on T-Mobile, that would be great, they don't have a true HTC flagship for this year.
The same would go for Verizon. They need a true HTC flagship phone, and preferably one that is just a Evo LTE in a different design.
Tmobile is said to be getting the hox+

XD we have a really stable cm10. I don't need a camera. My device has lte and the s4 at least on jelly bean is way faster than the tegra. Also look on your phone. Are you constantly having to delete stuff to make space? Chances are nobody needs extra space in the age of cloud storage. If it was a very little difference then it wouldn't matter but the tegra was rushed together in order for them to say they had the first quad core processor. It's old and it's sloppily built.

Yes I got to agree with you about the tegra 3 being rushed out, like a old car with a new engine duck taped in . Although about 16gb (more like 10gb) being enough data, I would say no. Yes, there is cloud but not everyone has a good/unlimited data plan (I only have 100mb for $50) which kinda counters the advantage of cloud technology.

No, they also like to have their sense phones run an espresso sense. Since our launchers already have this look then I'm sure its not going to be different, maybe they will include the theme engine... But that's hopefull thinking

No I think you are confusing the G-series with the Mytouch series. The MyTouch 4g had espresso sense, and the g2 had stock android 2.2
G1 was also pure google.

Hi all...
I currently live over in the Sensation forums, I have a rooted Sensation XE.
I just wanted to know whether it was worth upgrading to the One XL.
A few questions:
1. How much screen on time do you guys generally get? (Battery life.)
2. Is the signal strength (cellular) of this phone bad? (The Sensation is pretty awful.)
3. Does this phone overheat a lot?
4. Are there any known manufacturing defects with this phone? (For example Sensation has dust gathering underneath the screen.)
5. And also, is it getting official Sense 5?
If all goes well, I will probably get one off eBay, used, but in good condition, with warranty.
Thanks a lot guys.

1. On average about 3, but people have gotten up to 6 with about 12 hours total.
2. I don't believe so...
3. No
4. This phone is occasionally known to go from full charge to zero completely randomly, and sometimes just stop working entirely.
5. Yes
I've never had a problem with mine. Accessories are hard to find. It was depressing when HTC almost immediately replaced it with a new model. Development is a little slow but what there is is amazing. I've gotten close to 20 hours on the sense 5 port.

So would you say it is "easy" to get at least 5 hours of screen on time? Because one of the reasons for my upgrade is the need for better battery life.
(In comparison, my Sensation gets a smidge over 4 hours screen on time if used VERY conservatively.)

Oh dear, that sounds bad. Is it a widespread problem? How many times has it happened to you? I'm assuming it is a hardware defect? Would a warranty return fix it?

How much screen on time did you get?
EDIT: I have heard that some people have replaced their One XL battery with the higher capacity One X+ battery, is this modification easy and common?

I mean, if you just went from 100%-0% you could probably get 5-6 hours easy. With normal standby time as well, probably not. I once got 29 hours with 4.5 hours screen on. That's the best I've ever gotten but generally battery life is very good. Side note: Sense ROMs provide better battery.

It is a problem with every phone that COULD happen, but it only happens to a very few number. Sadly, I was one of them. Yes warranty fixes it.
EDIT: if for some reason warranty doesn't cover it you can send it into mobiletechvideos.com for JTAG

I tried to do this, but it's not easy. I couldn't get everything apart.
This is my fifth android device since the Dream (aka G1) and it's the first one that makes me feel like android was finally done right.
It certainly will feel like an upgrade from the sensation, and apart from external speaker sound it doesn't feel like a downgrade from a One.
My buddy has a one and I played extensively. If I didn't know the specs I would have assumed they were about equal. The One has a better screen, but only if you look closely.
What I'm trying to say is this: you will have a hard time doing much better than this phone right now. Quad core and 1080p screen with 2gb ram is cool, but I couldn't really tell a huge difference. They are both fast and smooth. On the other hand, this will blow you away after the sensation
Edit: also, I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for like $30 off amazon and I've never worried about battery life since. I can charge the phone in my pocket unless I'm wearing stupid tight hipster skinny jeans (which never happens)

Thanks for the very useful & helpful replies guys.
I have some more questions:
I am really confused, I am trying to buy this phone here in Europe (UK), and there is a lot of conflicting information in regards to specs. Some websites say that the One XL has 800/1800/2600 Mhz LTE bands, where as some say it only has 1800/2600 Mhz bands - i.e missing out on the 800Mhz "crucial" frequency which has better penetration inside buildings, and provides coverage for far reaching signals in suburban/regional areas...
Also, a lot of eBay listings say it has 16GB internal storage, whereas others say it has 32GB. I thought the One XL only came in 32GB?? http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_xl-4572.php
What device/model designations did HTC give this phone, and what are the differences, if any? (Eg, Z560e etc...)
Thanks a lot once again guys.
I'm not sure about the bands, maybe it's the difference between the One XL and the One X, you're currently in the One XL forum. The differences between the two models are:
One XL: Qualcomm dual core processor and LTE compatible. For some stupid reason this model is also branded as a One X by some carriers like AT&T, causing a lot of confusion.
One X: Tegra quad core processor and not LTE compatible. Often referred to as the International One X.
What I do know there is there's a model of the XL which was released here in Australia (exclusively to Telstra network I think) which has 32gb capacity. All other models have 16gb.

That is partially what I was wondering about - so are you saying that there actually *ARE* One XL models that come with 16GB storage as well?

Ahh ok, my apologies, I'm no good with the bands. And yes, the majority of XL models come with 16gb, only the Australian model comes with 32gb.

That means the GSM arena spec sheet is wrong as initially suspected. Very interesting to know, thanks guys.

This phone also has a "black screen" problem where the display will simply die for no apparent reason. It's rare but it happened to mine. The phone still works otherwise but the screen is dead. AT&T gave me a One because my One X was two weeks out of warranty.

Ya the guys here are extremely helpful and also have a great sense of humor

i think the release of the aosp 3.4 kernel will extend the life of the device quite a bit which is something to consider.

I agree all of the people who are apart of this forum are very friendly and willing to help.
To answer the topic in my words yes is worth upgrading to the One XL from the sensation. You get a better processor, camera, and display. If I remember the sensation is on the old qualcom s3 processor. Depending on what your doing the phone shouldn't get to hot unless your watching long movies or playing games. I would suggest buying a case because the phone is so lite you might feel like it will break.

Better processor, better camera (not hugely better though), better screen size, better screen res, NFC, 4G LTE, better battery life.
Trouble is there are so little on eBay, they keep getting snapped up quickly - its hard to make a catch without overbidding

Yep, happened to me and G4 Man, if you take apart the phone and reposition the wire that is bent at a 90° angle, the display will turn on, for reasons unknown, and for more reasons unknown it shorts the wire and it literally ignites.
