[Q] [Urgent Suggestion Req.] One X White or Black - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi everyone,
I am getting good deals on both a white and black [not the grayish one] one X, need to decide today which one to buy. I have seen that the white version is more common, also in reviews it kind of stands out as well. I want to ask your opinion on which one is better ie,
-more elegant looks wise, when held in hand etc
-gets dirty more easily, more easy to clean, would proove to be more resistant to scratches [atleast appearance wise] overall
Help me out here!

Go with the black. I have the gray one and it hides everything well whereas the white ones do not. Plus, the white just looks feminine...

I just realized that there isn't one. The guy i am getting the phone from kept on saying black one x, so i just assumed that maybe the international release also came with a black version of one X but turns out it didn't. Hmm well, i am kinda confused again now, in deciding between the the gray and the white. It keeps on crossing my mind that the white looks better, whereas the gray as people are suggesting seems to cover scratches/dirt better.
Lets see, anymore thoughts anyone?

i have the white one x. some people have told me it looks feminine but i can take a joke, to me and a lot of other people its sexy people always say that it picks up a ton of dirt, but if you have enough common sense to keep yourself clean and to keep the phone in relative clean areas it shouldn't be an issue. even if it does pick some up, its very easy to clean.
so all in all, go for the white

Go dark gray, aside from the ring around the cam lense it's a very dark almost black gray. why is this urgent? I just prefer dark to light and I have a black case on mine too and is a great combo.

Its was urgent cuz i had to buy the phone today! I broke my previous phone ...and it just occurred to me to post it on xda. I just put up urgent to get a few replies before i go and get the phone. Otherwise the suggestions wouldn't have been of any use. Anyways i have decided to go with the gray one!
Thanks for the help guys!

Gotcha, good choice.

Strange pixels blinking.

I just get my HTC One X. Wonderful phone, but I have very uncomfortable issue with display. On majority of screens in menu or applications, especially on dark backgrounds, it shows dozens or even hundreds of white or red pixels staying or moving as you swipe. Please help, what I should do? Got some screenshots.

Just realized that you probably won't see any bad pixels on my screenshots. Sorry.

Take it back asap
Take it back, you should have no trouble exchanging it for a new one. Mine had one single dead pixel and they swapped mine for a new one. My new one even has the whiter display as opposed to the other one which had the yellowish tint.

looks like bad ram the gpu is using. Exchange it.
Thank you so much for your reply. But what if I bought it through RadioshackWireless, can I go to At&t store with that phone to exchange it there? Thank you.
I agree...I would exchange it...either a ram issue or the display is bad..HTC uses a few different companies to make their screens so it could just be bad...if bought at best buy at att, you should have no issue exchanging it..if amazon, you can still return but have to wait on shipping...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
you will have to go to Radio Shack and have them exchange it, AT&T will tell you to take it back to them. If you got the the phone from Radio Shack Online then check your packing slip and make sure it doesn't have any specific instructions saying that you can only return it to them by mail. Hope this helps

Different Color Housing?

Just wondering what color options are available for the one s t mobile.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
In the US, pretty much gradient blue. I guess in India there is a black certain.
Also, though I have not seen it brought up for a few months.. There were rumors in February that HTC was going to release a red version (like anodized aluminum darker red, i.e. Iron Man red. However, that was supposed to be this month, and I have not heard anything about it since I first red the unsubstantiated report in February.

Sure...and also, if you are really interested in color, etc. I found this case at TMO (but don't buy it from there) which is hard and snaps against the back. I don't think the protection it provides is all that significant, but one style they have is a white acrylic/plastic, with solid chrome-plastic (meaning it's not chrome paint that will just wear ofG)... Still, you may or may not like the plastic, but I ordered one from the web and got it (was cheap .. <$10 at Ebay or accessory stores), and it fits perfectly tight, and it makes it a bit easier to hold...
Plus, if I am going out with my low IQ Apple fan friends, it has the benefit of looking just like an iPhone!

Black TMo One-S is here, picture inside.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

No way!!!??! I shouldve waited...oh well lets see if the coating lasts like the international one
Sent from HTC one s
Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.
Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

I can't see the picture:crying:
EDIT: It works now. Nice!
It does look sexy. Wow, though I do love my blue one.

Hello Gents,
Just to clarify, is this available at retail? Is it still 16 Gigs of internal? Also, S3 or S4?
*I went online and only saw the "gradiant blue" model available. Not sure if it's worth me calling into customer care or not...
Thanks!
It's not retail yet

Cool. I'll check periodically.
My wife fell in love with the black model. She's still holding on to her GS2 and doesn't care for the GS3 or anything equal in size.

[OPINION] Galaxy VS HOX Screen

Just wanted to write this little thing comparing the screens of the galaxy nexus and this phone. I have both these phones (galaxy nexus gsm and this one) and HOLY *^&$ is this screen AMAZING!!!
I thought that the nexus screen was good because it was hard to see any pixels and the blacks were really deep too, but then I got this phone and the first thing i noticed is that with the same resolution the clarity was amazing. I couldn't see a SINGLE pixel even if i put my face on the phone! I thought AMOLED screens were the only ones that had those deep blacks but wow was i mistaken! This screen has everything that i would ever want. Now if AT&T could just unlock the bootloader it would make it PERFECT. (Also maybe a way to get back from 2.20? Costco updated it in store for me and now i find out i cant root it yet. Wonderful. Anywho..just wanted to say that its an amazing screen for anyone whos thinking about this phone. GET IT...get it NOW!
Congrats on getting the HOX.
As for the update and locked bootloader, beaups said he wouldnt sleep with his wife until he found a way to root and unlock the bootloader at 2.20.
Anyway welcome to the forums

i have a Galaxy S2 skyrocket and i compared it to HOX screen not the resolution part mind you but the colors and the S2 had a blue hint to it and the colors werent as vibrant.
I love the naked feeling of this screen as well. Its perfect. This phone is perfect. :thumbup:
I'll just throw in my 2 cents in support of your post. Admittedly, I've never been a fan of the AMOLED screens, but this HOX screen just blew me away when i picked the device up. I've checked out the SGS3 a few times at ATT stores just to se ewhat it's packing, but I can't handle the pentile on that AMOLED. The LCD2 that the HOX packs is simply amazing. You simply can't find a pixel anywhere and the colors seem to be so true for me, whereas the AMOLEDs have always left me feeling a little annoyed from oversaturation. Though the blacks on the LCD2 aren't quite that of the AMOLED, but the color balance and 'accuracy', if you will, are simply stunning. I've never once regretted having this phone. Welcome aboard, this is a great phone and it has some really awesome dev's here keeping it going ( and fully embracing the support we are receiving from beaups' wife.)

For me they are black. Not AS black as amoled screens but deep enough at normal levels of brightness.
I have this gone since march
I changed it 3 times from HTC care
And still I have the yellow spot :banghead:
Now I don't want to do anything but just use it like that
And yeah other than that yellow spot the screen is amazing

There is no comparing the HOX's screen to any other one out there. It smokes them all.

It really is.
No screen protector, no case, epic phone.
On an unrelated note, is that you in your picture, Shaddy?
The HOX screen is ok as far as blacks go on a LCD screen but it defintely not as black as AMOLED screen. But it is certainly much brighter than AMOLED. AnandTech measured the screen contrast of HOX. It is around 1,000. Great in terms of LCD but no where near AMOLED which is infinity
