On this day, the awesomely designed, awesomely fast, and awesomely picture taking One X was released to much fanfare. If only HTC would have market this phone aggressively, things may have been different. Here's to another year with this awesome device :good:
Yes I can remember thinking I'm gonna get that phone, I went to stores to check it out and they said sold out. In the next week I learned apple had sued htc and blocked devices from entering customs. I was bummed as att store said phone may never be available. I had a strange idea and I went to a 3rd party att non corp store and guess what , they had phone . I was so happy as att didn't get phone it for about 2 months. I've never liked a phone better, the HTC one looks awesome as well

I got this phone on launch day on AT&T (May 6) at my local RadioShack. It was the only one they had. I got home and had so much fun with my beautiful new phone. Then in September I discovered this whole new world called xda-developers. It was like someone had just taken my phone and given it a shot of adrenaline. I was so overjoyed. I was naïve and like many new users, it only took me a month to soft brick it, and without a Windows PC I had to wait 5 days to fix it. I learned from my mistakes. In November, my phone got the qhusb_dload glitch and wouldn't turn on I got a new phone and have never looked back. Love this phone.
Same here... I actually got mine may 5th
The little chick working at RadioShack sold me one a day early lol. Ohhh that screen... The camera... Build quality... The quickness.. Mine still contends with some of the new super phones. (Pooped on an stock gs4 today) lol!

I talked att into giving me an early upgrade on this after complaining about the captivate. He told me to sell what I had and use that to cover the new phone. Done and done.
The local store will have one waiting for me on the 15th
I'm planning on it as a late birthday present to myself. Current Aria user but very excited about the Inspire!
I was planning on waiting for the Atrix but after the pricing and the lock bootloader looks like I am going for the Inspire. Hoping it you guys can get root and custom roms. Can't wait to get rid of my iPhone 4 and get my first android device
I have been waiting on a good phone for a long time from at&t. First the backflop then the xperia x10, now finally a real phone! I am calling and checking if I can get an early upgrade. I was going with the Atrix, but the cost of the laptop dock is way off. Motoblur and the locked bootloader turned me off also. I have have a locked bootloader with my xperia and it is basically killing the phones potential.
Sent from my xperia
I was probably going to get the Atrix, but the terrible netbook dock pricing has slammed the brakes on my upgrade plans. At this point, I'll be waiting to see how XDA support works out on the various new AT&T phones, try out the phones in store, and probably not upgrade until the summer at the earliest. I'll probably wind up with the Inspire, but they've really buzzkilled everything for me.
I'll be getting one ASAP...

Same here, Htc forever. But I just heard that Tmobile is gonna have a new Htc phone with dual core processor and a 4.3 screen, Att needs to step up!
I was really wanting to get this, but now I am not sure if I should wait to see what HTC and AT&T have to offer later this year, maybe dual core with LTE

As a long time user of the HTC tilt and tilt 2 I fell in love with the ease of using the winmo and manilla interfaces. Recently got a cruel joke of an upgrade in the form of the HTC surround which could be a great phone id not for the hold backs caused by winmo 7 OS. I greatly look forward to trying out the Android OS on a phone it's made for originally not just ported onto.
I just pre-ordered one. :-D

I'm totally going to upgrade to a One phone. I'm on T-Mobile, and I'm kinda sad we won't get the MOA black version. But I'm curious, aside from its strength what other advantages will the MOA get compared to the Grey anodized version?
I'm case I decided to get the One X, will either of those versions get T-Mobile faster 4G?
And correct me if I'm wrong but.. The One X and One S here in the US is practically the same phone, the only difference being screen type and size (obviously resolution) and battery??
Also, I love the screen on my brothers Galaxy S 4G, is the One S similar, worse or better than that?
Does the T-Mobile version have dual microphone? One regular and one noise canceling?
Sorry, but no the One S and the One X aren't even close. The S uses an S4 chip, while the One X uses the Tegra3. Now if you meant the AT&T version (which is the One XL), then they are the same other than the screen type/size, battery, and I think the XL will still have 32GB memory unlike the 16GB on the S. Of course I'm half asleep making this post so please forgive me if I was/am wrong on any of that. As far as the mic goes I'm not sure.
On a side note I hate the fact T-Mobile isn't getting the MAO version.
I think the one xl, has a dual core processor, not sure of that, but I think i heard it somewhere. If that's true, i recommend de one s, as it's cheaper, and still an awesome phone.
Sent from a potato via tapatalk
Yeah I was referring to the One XL. I seriously hope the One S does have dual microphones. That would at least save it a bit from lack of MOA
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I'm on Tmobile USA. The more I debate between the One S and the One XL. The more I lean towards the One XL which should work on Tmobile. One XL has an HD screen and a bigger screen over the One S. Plus the Front Facing camera is a tad better on the One XL.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
I'm on T-Mobile too, and the only reason I'm considering getting the One S is due to price. I have an extra line on my account. My mom wants to put my dad in my account so that the whole family will be in my account. Obviously the phone would be way cheaper, especially if I go to Sams club or Costco.
If I get the One X I'm paying full retail, and there's no guarantee they'll sell it to me the week it is released cause they give preference to their customers or new customers.
Not to mention, don't know how long it'll take for them to get me an unlock code.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's using the same TI wifi chip as the Amaze. That really hindered dev. on that phone since HTC isn't releasing the source for that.
How do we know that we are not getting the black version?
Alright I work at T-Mobile and my boss has a friend in tmobile that actually had a meeting with a HTC guy and he even held the one s he told me wonders about it but he also told me that in 2-4 months from release the black one will actually come to tmobile and that it was already confirmed so Id rather wait for the black one

folks that sounds crazy.. waitin for a device for about several months just for another color?! i can understand that this is important - i personally would never buy the silver one, luckily living in Germany where it's no prob to get the black one - but in this case: i would order it somewhere else or live with it

i probably would not wait 2-3 month for the black version over the grey one myself however i can understand if someone does! first of all it's not only the color (and the more beautiful look) but also the texture and improved durability. if someone wants to keep the phone for 2 years maybe waiting 2 more month and actually get what you want might not be so crazy ... aside from that i consider myself also lucky living in a country wher the black unlocked version is already available
I can completely understand that it's an issue. just as mentioned: i wouldn't buy the gradient metal version either. but since i'm quite impatient i would definitely try ANY workaround but ok, i'm quite lucky not having to deal with this.. hope for you guys over there, that t-mobile is a bit quicker
Just to b clear we are all preety much coworkers I was just emphazising on the fact that it is someone ranked up to be tmobile's manager of all the tmobile dealers in my area he's not just a tmo sales rep like me and I dont even like my boss that much anyways

I've owned a plethora of devices over the years, but I think the One X is definitely the first one that will still be great in 2 years. Think about it, the iPhone is constantly being replaced with another that has features exclusive to it. The One X, will probably be just as fast as the phones two years from now, and will still run like a complete champ when android 15 and sense 26 come out.
Who agrees?
Yeah man I totally agree. Every phone ive had since this one has been just me waiting to get the next phone. I think this phone will easily last me my two year contract!!
I love this phone...more so than any other phone I've had (and I've had a lot), but I know me...as soon as something else comes along with a great new "gotta have" feature, I'll be ditching this and moving on. So is the life of a phoneaholic.

I really hope so. I'm coming from 4 years of iPhone (iPhone 3G -> iPhone 4), and so far I'm in love with this device, even with its...quirks. Especially once the bootloader is unlocked - I can see myself using this thing for quite a long time.
I went from the Nokia n72. Who remembers that one? To, original apple iPhone and at the same time the BB curve. To iPhone 3g, 3gs, 4 and 4s. Disliked the battery life. Left it for the galaxy note. Ditched the note the moment I read about the one x on engadget. Love the size camera and screen. Reminds me of my TV screens

Hey guys,
I'm getting my device tomorrow and just figured I'd say hello to everyone. I'm not a total noob when it comes to android stuff, I do a bit of dev stuff here and there and I have made a few small apps, mods, etc. I would not consider myself a dev, though. Lol. Anyways, I'm pretty familiar with rooting HTC Devices, I've had the G1, MyTouch 3G, G2, MyTouch 4G Slide, HTC Sensation... etc. However, I am now coming from a Samsung Galaxy SII... While it was a nice device, I am VERY happy to be getting back to an HTC device. I'm also really looking forward to getting myself acquainted around these boards.
Welcome
The HTC One S was my first Android. I've only had it a week but I had no problem flashing root and ROM after reading all the great information on XDA.
Actually this very active section of XDA was one of the main reasons I chose one
Hey! Glad to see new people. This thread will most likely get closed like mine did last week lol but YOLO!!!!

I went from HTC Incredible S to One S, and wow, what a huge difference in performance. The One S is about as smooth as iPhone, which is pretty damn smooth. Incredible S lagged a lot and definitely felt like an old device compared to modern phones.

My second Android device...
I personally usually find these threads quite boring to read but as I'm also getting my phone soon and this thread exists, then what the heck ! And this is also my first message on these forums so let this also serve as an introduction.
I got the phone (black, S4) for 347 euros (from an internet store here in Finland) with free shipping, so I felt the phone was a bargain. Originally I was on the market for Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4. The Gnex felt a bit plasticky and with oldish hardware for the One s price, I ruled it out. The Nexus 4 seemed the ultimate android device and by far the best phone out right now. But when it came clear that the 300'ish price was only for certain countries (currently sells for about 550€ here in Finland) and the fact that i wouldn't get it for christmas, it was no longer an option. I was looking at Nexus phones because I like to tinker with my phones and want "a vanilla" android experience without any manufacturer bloat.
This is my second android device. I previously had a Motorola Defy that I had for about a year. Was running CM10 on it when it died (RIP) and absolutely loved it even though by the end of its' life it started dropping connections and I was unreachable at times (this nearly drove my girlfriend crazy couple of times ). After that I decided to try something totally different and went for a Lumia 800. That proved to be the biggest phone related mistake that I have ever made. The phone works great, never missed a call or text with it and the build quality is excellent. But I feel like I can't do enough with it. 4 months of Windows Phone is enough for me .
The phone actually has already arrived but I try to keep my hands off it until christmas eve. I'm currently really busy with work and studies and the phone would definately have a negative effect on my efficiency.
It's a really sleek phone and like previous posters have said, I can't recommend TWRP recovery enough. Unfortunately I am cursed with the S3 processor and don't really have much choice in terms of custom roms. Woe is me. But still, enjoy the phone man!
After almost two years with my Inspire, I'm very sad to have lost it, up til the end on jellytime was awesome and it was a new era.
Now I need to get a new phone, and the market seems overwhelming. I saw the developer RandomBlame from Jellytime being pretty happy with the nexus 4, but I'm not so sure I can live without a SD card slot.
I'm interested in reading about experiences from other people who for one reason or another have migrated from an Inspire/DHD to something else.
You guys who used to love you're Inspire/DHD, what phone made you equally or more happy? What phone do you regret going for thinking it would compensate for the ACE you had?
Happy New Year, D.
Sorry about your loss...my condolences.

HTC Inspire to HTC One X. Many friends of mine did this transition and are very happy with their switch!
I dont know if you can wait for a while and how you feel about BB, but the Z10 has amazing specs. I currently use the Inspire 4g and will give BB a look when its come out. Thats if it comes to ATT, which I think it would.

That sucks that you lost it. When looking I had my list narrowed down to three phones: HTC One X, Samsung Note 2, and Samsung Galaxy SIII. All three have good specs but it is up to you what you prefer more. I decided the Note series was just too big. I would have to use two hands to operate it and figured if I was going to do that I would buy a tablet first. Loved the HTC but the killer for me was the lack of SD card expansion and the lack of changing out the battery. Ultimately the S3 was my final choice. Love it so far. Had it rooted by the second day and have been cruising along with it for over a month now.
I'm hearing that there will be an SGS4 coming in April 2013.

I love my inspire as well, however even using the cyanogrnmod 10.1 unofficial sporting android 4.2.1 isn't enough to compensate for poor battery performance. I have had the phone around a year.

Agreed battery is garbage. I'm not quite sold on the note 2. More sold on og note. Mainly cause I don't think my wife would be happy if I blew 600 bucks on a phone. Also I really like not being in a contract we have been contract free for about a year.
