Hardware Question - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is it possible to do a hardware mod for an sd card, the 10gig on my att one x is barely cutting it, but I have a class 10 32GB from my evo 3d I want to use, but I don't know if it can be done. I've looked for teardowns but I don't see enough detail. Any help is appreciated

USB otg is probably the simplest way to use an sdcard now that ROMs support it

What to get next??

So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?
Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.

Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Xperia isn't much of an upgrade!! It still has the sane old S3 chip, not the newer & much better S4 one!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.
Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!
Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Physically I think
Storage is never big enough for ANYONE

I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???
One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.

I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...
LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.
I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

Just the development alone from DEV's on the Nexus line is more than enough.... NEVER again will i buy another Android Phone that is not the Nexus line.
The sensation should be too powerful but mine is laggy as Hell since getting Android 4.
New Motorola coming out has 3000mA battery, if moto can do it HTC should be capable.

I need help deciding

I currently have the sensation. I'm up for an upgrade. I have a choice between the one s and the Samsung galaxy s3 . I hate touch wiz and I feel the dev presence is awesome on HTC. But the Samsung is completely awesome. So if I could get feed back it would help. It seems a bit off sided because I can only get one s and not x
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Well, if you hate touchwiz, then there's not really anything you can do about it. Of course some experimental sense might come, but they aren't gonna cut it. Go for the one s, you'll not regret it
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
GS3 has more features. But touchwiz could be gone with cm9 when it comes out or apex launcher to get u by. I will probably return my one s on the 19th since its my last day to return it. But this phone is good though. I just need a removable sd card since u only get 10GBs

I think you should wait for review on the phone. Usually some site will get it before release date ( phonedog,etc).
I like samsung, but its too plain for me and big.

Go to engadget.com they have a review on both phones.

Development on the GS3 will be greater, and faster, since Samsung doesn't lock bootloaders, or lock the phones with S-on.
Now ask yourself; did I really just read that? Yes you did.

They also release source in a timely fashion. They dropped source for the SGS3 the day it went on sale in Europe.

Yeah I think I definitely getting the s3 I need removable sd. I just ain't feeling the unibody. I loved my galaxy vibrant but I'm a sucker for.new devices
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I would go with the S3. It has a bigger display and its hd compared to qHD. Plus it has a micro sd which is incredibly useful since the one S barely has a lil under 10GB of storage.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
If it weren't for the size of the GS3, I would say absolutely go with it, since really the only thing the One S has over the Galaxy is its a reasonable size...and sexy slim. Other than that, the GS 3 either matches or trumps the H1S in every other category.

I got this phone free w/ 2 year contract. Its a great upgrade for me. But if I were choosing a phone that money didn't play a part in it, I would get something else.
Get a phone w/ a removable battery and micro SD card.
Sure I'm happy now, but cell phone batteries only last 400 - 500 charges. No way around that. Good class 10 SD cards keep getting cheaper.
I will be sorry after a year or so with this phone. But I'm happy now.

storage issues

it's well known the one xl has very limited storage. with 16gb to start, 2.34 gb to internal (1.95 gb available on mine), 9.93 gb phone (821mb available on mine), and the other 4~ish gb ????, i only have room for another app or two a few pictures and a few songs. anybody come up with a good solution for this? other than cloud storage? i like music... A LOT, so i prefer to keep it on the phone to save data and battery. and i like a little freedom with my apps and pics.
Wrong forum. This belongs in Q&A, not Development.

Cloud storage. Mind you I have nearly 600 pics and 3 gigs of music and I still have 4 gigs left.plus all my app are installed.

If I were a huge media user I'd get one of those goflex wireless drives.
Here a link they sound awesome, but I wouldn't use that much space, cloud works good for me.

Also airstash looks promising for half the price and add your own SD Card.

it's a damned shame that it looks like OTG won't work for us since the USB port doesn't supply power.

Android device that use micro SD card,does it drain more battery?

Well I'm comparing phone that use only internal like the HTC one x and one s,phone with micro SD like the galaxy s3 or note 2..A retailer once tell me this,I don't know is it true or not..but I'm asking here..to make sure. Thanks in advance.

Which phone would u pick

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to put this in.
I have the HTC ONE S but the only thing I hate is that it has no sd card slot.
But im looking into the Galaxy 3.
What do you guys prefer.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I looked at the HTC One S when I was shopping and ruled it out for that reason and lack of removable battery. That's why I got the S3 instead.

It entirely depends on your personal taste. If you don't know which one to choose, just pick one at random. If you're not satisfied of your choice, then choose the other one
For me HTC i better way than Samsung ... i use 4gb sd card but even 1gb is enough for me Hope you will choose the HTC again
get xperia Z or s4.
Go for the HTC one, best phone out there if ya ask me :laugh:
