So I'm all set to upgrade from the Samsung Infuse 4g (rooted running emancipation) to the HTC One X even after the whole update debacle I'm having hope that at some point the handcuffs will be taken off of this phone and that some devs will hold onto the device until that time. I've seen all the negative threads with development with this phone will die soon but how many devices have stayed locked down their entire life cycle for HTC? If anything a stock One X is still far greater than a rooted Infuse.
The devs here are dedicated and talented and I appreciate all the work I've seen them put into trying to find cracks in the system to free this phone.

Just wonder how long I'll have to wait too root it.
The only thing left is I can't decide between the Incipio Duo case and the Ballistic SG, I've read metalheads incipio review and have an incipio on my Infuse but the phone will be spending a lot of time in a backpack so I'm just stuck picking a case. Also open to any other cases that add protection with the multi layer design that aren't as bulky as an otterbox.
Thanks!

The Incipio is the way to go. The Ballistic was the first case I gave away. It was way too bulky and completely killed the sexiness of the One X. The Incipio on the other hand, compliments it quite nicely. It is still my favorite case, hands down.

I agree the Incipio looks so sleek does it offer enough protection to give you peace of mind if there is an accidental drop? On my Infuse I started with an Otterbox Defender and went to the Incipio and glad I did, I just don't like the play it has on the top and bottom of the Infuse which is what lead me to question getting one for the One X.

Incipio is on it's way, also it I talked to my friend at AT&T and he thinks he has one in store that's still 1.85 and he's going to hold it for me. Now I've rooted my Captivate and Infuse but it seems like this is a whole nother ball game on a scale of 1-10 what's the difficulty rooting a 1.85 HOX?
I came from the Galaxy S II and I really like this phone, I feel its an upgrade from the SII for sure.

Not difficult at all. I'd rate it as a 1, with 1 being the easiest. Sure, there are a couple of extra steps involved since you have to unlock the bootloader but it's very simple as long as you follow the directions. If you are lucky and get one that is still on 1.85 make sure they don't update it at the store for you. I've read reports of that happening to people. Just use the 1 click root for 1.85 in the development section and then unlock your bootloader. Good to go after that.

Just a tip when rooting, use the tool that's stickied on the development forum and uncheck fast boot in your power settings before starting. Turning fast boot off seems to be optional but I tend to get more success with it off (3 HOX's so far)

I got my One X today man this thing is nice.
I was an Inspire owner too and I remember you used to rule that forum. I am shocked that you left for iPhone! I moved onto the Galaxy Nexus when it came out and sold off the Inspire. I had an upgrade available now so there is no way I could pass this phone up... I love the phone but do miss the stock feeling of Android 4.0 so now all I really need is Root and CM9!
I remember you from the Inspire forums. I switched to the Note then the Nexus, now I can upgrade and I may get the One X. Good to see people attempting iPhone and regretting it, so I don't have to. The reason I'm maybe thinking of the One X is the camera, I'm going on holiday and don't want to be stuck taking GNex quality shots along the coast of Italy lol.

Just left my international GSII for this bad boy. (The GSII was the best phone ever btw). Freaking loving the screen and the sick build quality. It's so much better than Samsung's crap plastic
I too took a detour through some Sammys (The other phone at home is always iP - a conscious decision that works well ), Great to be back to HTC.
SGS2 was great for that generation, but LTE/batt life sucked and was a bit clunky (I have large hands), so wasted no time in getting my H1X.

The GPS is why I ditched my Inspire. I do a lot of things that use the GPS (mapping / running / cycling). That GPS would not stay locked and would turn a 5 mile run into a 15 mile run with all of the zig zags it would add to my course. Great for the Ego, but a pain in the A$$ otherwise.
To Answer your question the HOX is lightning fast to lock and stays locked pretty well from what I can tell. I have not used it with a gps app other than google maps yet but I am happy with what i have seen so far.

Hey guys, I got impatient waiting for a One S version so I went ahead and bought the One X thinking they were pretty much they same size. Fortunately, I was right and the One S fits the One X model of the gameklip perfectly (though I had to take off my cruzerlite case). I am really enjoying it and I figured you guys might want to see how it looks.
The clip is pretty sturdy and I have no trouble holding the controller. It feels like the weight is distributed very nicely to the controller so it doesn't feel like it's going to tilt backwards, which is something I was thinking would happen. The One S fits pretty snugly and doesn't wobble or anything. The only downside is that most games prefer to have you hold the landscape mode where the top of the phone is on the left hand side, but that blocks out the headphone jack. If you put it on the right hand side, the power button is blocked. Not big problems since you can use an app to force it to rotation whichever one you prefer. Access to the volume buttons and micro-usb port are unhindered, which is nice.
Whoops, forgot to include the pictures.
Nice!!! Sweet Job bro.
This is great news.
I wonder how the X fits in there if the S fits good. Haha

I originally thought because the One X is slightly taller and thicker that I might be able to use the One S with its case on. It's obvious to me now that I couldn't since the two are only millimeters differences. I can only imagine the One X being even more snug and secure. The sides where it holds the phone are covered in a felt-like material that makes sliding in and out pretty easy.

So playing with the klip you'd have to be extra careful how you tilt or lean because the device is capable of sliding out?

Nope, the klip is tight enough that there is enough friction to keep it secure. I just meant that it doesn't have that scratchy plastic on metal/plastic noise that I would expect if there wasn't any felt or whatever. I made a video to help demonstrate it but I can't link because apparently I haven't made 10 posts yet. Gotta stop lurking, I guess. :silly:
Here's a picture, I shook it vertically, back and forth, and rotated it. It didn't drop, but the entire klip did wobble when I rotated it which caused me to be scared for a second. Hope that helps.

I'm definitely getting the Klip now thanks to you.

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.

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.

H8rift. XsMagical. Scott. And others are more then enough reasons for me to never leave this phone. And Rohan has done amazing things with AOKP and he is still in highschool if I'm not mistaken. These guys make our phone what it is and we have to work around ATT and HTC security features. The Devs we have are a reason not to leave.

He also has the one x and is still developing for it.
If I had the money to spare he would have an nexus 7 as well

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!
I need a phone with good battery life (well good as in i can make it through the day), i would like to know if the One X does well. If i root, debloat, and disable LTE radio will i make it solid through a day? My current phone (pantech Burst) i have to charge a few times to get through a day and its annoying. That is will all the above steps done. I'm not sure how hard it will be to root and run a custom rom on this phone but even if i use the standard but root debloat and turn LTE off will i be good? Thanks!
I have never seen this phone last less than a day.

Sounds like a challenge ...
I don't have LTE in my area, so I don't know how that would affect me. I last easily a day with the One X. I used to charge my GS II at lunch from ~50% back to 100%, and still have concerns I wouldnt last all evening. With the same usage I can last all day and end with more battery at bed time. Judging by the screen on time I easily get twice the battery life on the One X. And that is without doing anything special, using my phone quite a bit using data to stream Pandora a few hours, listening to audio books on the commute, all over Bluetooth. I am running Venom FWIW.

Thanks! Just placed my order and I'm excited! What recommendations do you think i need to do when i get this beautiful phone? Any guides for best root and so on (i know i probably could find easily just want to know if theres any tips before i get started). Can't believe i picked up one for 50 on contract, just seems like a steal of a deal!

My only recommendation is that you pray that your new phone comes with 1.85 on it and not 2.20 as there is no root for the latter as of now. Either way it is ONE hell of a phone, just so much better with root and unlocked bootloader.
Def hope for that! Is it hard to unlock the bootloader?

If its on 1.85, its tricky and complicated, but a lot of easy steps. If its on 2.20 its not possible yet.

how long has 2.20 been out? Wondering if this has been a long problem or if its new

Are you referring to the gs3 is hard to unlock or the gs3 is the better phone? Hard to follow the post. Thanks!

First week of August. Each update plugged the hole used to root the previous build, so each update was like a chess match for the community. The bounty for a 2.20 root is now over $500.

I think he was referring to the GS III being a better phone (to be honest I agree, but got the One X for free after several DOA replacement GS IIs). As far as putting a new ROM on a Samsung phone "its so easy a cave man could do it." Its crazy simple and easy compared to the One X. I was able to load a custom ROM on a GS II before even booting it once, several times as I got replacements. There is no S-OFF, or bootloader to worry about. There are many threads about the GS III vs One X. They are both good and each have their own pros and cons.

Oh okay thanks, yeah I had a s2 and was flash crazy Haha. I don't care about flashing a lot just something good on battery, or just root so I can remove bloat. I'll keep my fingers crossed thanks for all the help

I am seeing at least twice the battery life on the One X compared to the GS II. I never really worried about battery life because I could charge at work (and did for a few hours every day) and in the car. I can go all day with the One X. Right now I am almost dead at 5 hours of screen time. I never saw over 2 hours on the GS II. But, I never tried to maximize battery life, I used Bluetooth and Pandora whenever I want, I browse a lot, because I am always near a charger (and I use the One X the same way). I liked AOKP on the GS II, but the AOKP here isn't close to as polished as Task had it. I am fine with ViperXL, as a sense based ROM with lots of customization options not there on stock. I flashed 3 ROMs the day I got the phone, and stayed on ViperXL. That was 2 weeks ago, I feel no need to flash anything else.

I tried them all, only this one still worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
See my comment (the last post in the thread). It took me several tries and a lot of patience. Once rooted you can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and get to flashing ROMs.

How long the battery last is obviously highly dependent on how you use your phone (in particular, screen on time, downloading, streaming, gaming, video, etc.). But I can get over 48 hours on a single charge on my One X, with LTE on during the work day, and on WiFi at home.
As already mentioned, whether you can root or not depends on what firmware you get shipped on the phone. Some people are still getting new ones with the 1.85 firmware, which is rootable (and you can unlock the bootloader after root). But many are getting 2.20, which is not currently rootable, and no bootloader unlock). Your chances of getting a phone with 1.85 are better if you buy from a store (versus online), I believe.
