HTC 8XT, The First Windows Phone Device with BoomSound - Windows Phone 8x by HTC

I was just reading about this new HTC Windows Phone 8XT device coming to Sprint this summer. I really wanted to change my Nokia Lumia 920 and buy a Windows Phone 8XT due to its dual speaker BoomSound tech, plus the slim and sleek device.
A thought just crossed my mind that why don't i ask the guys who are already using the HTC Windows Phone 8X that what do you feel about it? I sometimes experience halts while sending messages or opening them, maybe because i have 5000+ SMS. Does any one of you experience the same on your Windows Phone 8X? How would you rate your overall experience with HTC Windows Phone 8X? Looking forward to a healthy discussion. :good:

I think it looks like the 8x and the 8s had a baby. that was my first impression of it anyways lol. Unfortunately i think the 8x looks much more sleek :/
I am going to wait till the next batch of windows phones (wp blue), all the new ones coming out now have pretty much the same exact specs.. no big upgrade really

I was expecting it to be more of HTC One style large front grills for the HTC 8XT

I would've thought so as well, but if you think about it, it wouldn't have matched the top grill then. i just hope we get a HTC One for wp8. with the same specs.. that would have to be when 8.1 gets released so we could get a 1080p screen

I got the 8xt it's pretty sweet! And the sound is amazing

Is the Sensation Worth Getting?

I have the HD2 right now. Is the Sensation worth the upgrade? There is obviously not the HUGE dev community behind the Sensation in comparison to the HD2...
Easily worth the upgrade due to the much, much newer architecture. Even locked it has *AWESOME* written all over it.
There's no development on Sensation right now, as the means to unlock it has yet to be released.
This is (along with the Evo3D) HTC's new flagship, so it's bound to have proper development in time.

I would suggest you go for the Samsung galaxy s2 unless you are a die hard htc fan
I had a hero and HD7 and thought I d jump ship and see how samsung phones work
Quiet happy , won't say its all goody but you can easily update to new firmware without the need to root via a software called ODIN
Already on 2.3.4 and never been happy..
Also I think the camera is slightly better than sensation
Just my thoughts
If possible go in a store and play with them both, you may get a bit of any idea of which one you fall in love with

TMobile USA doesn't have the S II yet unfortunately, and to be honest, I'm not sure if they're even getting it. I could get it off NewEgg or eBay but from what I hear, all I will get is Edge, not 4G.
In a few months this phone will have a lot of roms. No need to change.

GSII isn't worth it without 3G. If it were on T-Mobile then I would say get it instead of the Sensation. I know I will hang up my Sensation if it ever gets to T-Mobile.

I don't have HD2 or owned one, so i don't know if it's big upgrade. Maybe someone else can answer that. But the Sensation and the EVO3D are the 2 new flagships of HTC. So there is a good chance there will be a huge community, and a lot of roms and other stuff for both of them.

Im not sure about the GSII but everyone knows about the Hercules. It might have a 4,5 inch display and a different chipset but nobody is really sure yet. Its actually rumored to have the Adreno 220 which will probably be a lot faster than it is on the Sensation due to the ****ty HTC drivers and not having a UI with useless eye candy.

Maybe so, but it all depends on how u use the phone. If all the apps and games are still running good, why upgrade. That would be my thought. It's all personal.
But if you want to upgrade, because you want to download stuff a second faster or load apps/games a second faster, or whatever reason, this phone will be a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I mean the HD2 supports 7 meg HSDPA, but I usually get about 2...The thing that attracts me, is the better camera, and dual core CPU.
I was using an Android flashed HD2 up until I dropped it last week and shattered the screen. I had ordered a new digitizer from fleabay but when it arrived it was damaged so I got impatient and ordered a new Sensation instead. I just got it today and, even though I was more than happy with the HD2 and had no plans to upgrade, I have to say I'm very glad I did. The HD2 was is a very awesome phone but after using the Sensation it now feels like it was v rough around the edges. The Sensation is silky smooth - and that's while we're still running on stock!!
I say upgrade. You'll not regret it.

Thanks for the input. And with TMobile planning to upgrade nationwide network speeds, maybe it's not a bad idea. Part of me still wants to wait to see if I can get the Galaxy S II...
Decisions decisions....
I've gone from HD2 > Sensation. Got the HD2 as soon as it came out.
The Sensation is fantastic...a huge leap from the HD2...obviously much faster/slicker...much nice to look at and hold, screen is so much better than the HD2 it's not funny.
Development will come soon

I need some help here.

Well, I bought the HTC 7 Surround 2-3 weeks ago and I first had one problem at the time. Previously, the phone never used to boot past the white HTC boot screen. After a few huff-n-puffs and taking the phone to a friend, was that problem fixed. Now I have a problem with two things. Firstly, by playing games on the Surround, the phone heats up, just like it used to do on my HTC Sensation 4G. The second problem is that the phone keeps on randomly freezing for no apparent reason. Also, the speakers weren't all that up to the mark as the descriptions were describing them to be, which was the main reason for me buying the HTC 7 Surround in the first place. Other than that, it's a pretty good phone and even though it was my first time using a W7 phone, I found the interface really good and I want to use them to the full extent that I can. I found W7 much more a better experience than the Android. Though, I do not dislike Android developments either.
I might have spare cash to spend on a phone, after selling some junk I had been meaning to get rid of, in a month or so. Which one of these W7 phones should I get?:
HTC HD7
HTC Titan
Dell Venue
Samsung Focus
Oh and if there is an android that someone likes, I might go in that direction as well as long as it's a phone looking at and giving a wow on. Thanks for all the help and long live XDA Developers!

Wow, I thought at least one person would have thought of replying to this.
First, take your phone back for the manufacture warranty, I highly suspect that is hardware problems.
That highly depends on your taste. Big screen, medium screen. I prefer Trophy over HD7. The screen is too big. 3.7" is enough here. So no HD7 and Titan. Maybe, HD7.
Dell Venue I wouldnt even try. The hardware is ugly and, well, Dell is not meant to be phones.
Focus is pretty nice, I think. But Titan has the best hardware.
Your choice.
If you like big screens, the Titan is the way to go at the moment at least
Wait a week and see what Nokia world says and if any of those phones are going to be released in the US (or if you'd be able to import one over from Europe).
Samsung Focus S will be out soon. It will doubtlessly be the best WP7 device on the market.

Well, I am more of a big screen guy, but the Trophy is looking kind of interesting to me. I never noticed it yet. Yeah, I heard good things about Focus as well. I might just end up with HD7 or Titan. I will have to think this over. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the comment. I agree on this. Big screen = Titan. I just have to see if I really want the Titan or I want something smaller. I get real messed up in the last moment of buying a phone that I buy something that I never planned on buying. This time, I have ample time for thinking it over.

I might be waiting a month to get cash in hand to buy whatever phone that I finally decide on buying. I heard of the new Nokia 800 phone that is going to be released. I hear it's really good. I have yet to check it out. I have a cousin that lives in the UK so it's not a big issue importing the phone from there. Thanks for the post.

Yes, I heard of it from a few friends that are eager for it as well. A few are either going for the Mozart, Focus or Titan. I have a friend with an iPhone 4G who is not at all happy with the phone constantly dropping its signals and losing connections to calls because of it. Thanks for the post. I will take a look at the Focus again.

I have the same phone.
The phone does heat up. But i don't have any of the other problems. Did you press the button on the speaker? It makes the sound much better.
I don't have any freezing or booting problems.
Did you update to 7.5

After the Sensation what?

So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?
after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love
Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.
Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.
I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

lol there is no fuss, limited close OS with ugly tiles and SMOOTH UI.
Just go and grab am iPod Touch if you really wanna how it looks and acts
I really love the look of new Sony xperias....specially the bottom strip....but i think i need to sacrifice on performance and available rom options if i wanna go with Sony.
Im keeping my sensation for a good while the nexus doesn't worth it 3hours screen on time max bad reception camera isn't great however great display and i have ics on my phone so the gnex isnt so special ...
Will get xperia s once it comes out for canada

Holding out for quad core. Sensation is a great phone for me, minus the dust issue that I'm about to solve with some gasket goo... I'm on phone 4. There really isn't anything spectacular out there for me.

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see

yea i guess u would need a heat sink or some kinda fan on the back of a quad core device too cool it down....
Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.
I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)

[Q] Upgrade this month? What to do

I have an upgrade this month on AT&T. Its actually on my granpas phone number because we added him to ours and I could use that upgrade.
What should I do? I almost thought about getting the s3 just to try out and see what its like, but I just hate the look of it and haven't had good service with samsung before.
Also thought about getting iphone 5. I know a good bit about iPhones like jailbreaking and all that good stuff. But I am really an android guy. I could get it for my girlfriend which currently has iphone 4 and sell her iphone 4 possibly.
I would be the one jailbreaking it and all the fun stuff with it lol.
Or should I just wait? Is anything good coming out soon?

HTC One X+ is coming out (One X with a quad core, 2100mAh battery, 64GB storage). That would be a good choice.
Galaxy Note 2 is supposedly coming to AT&T if you like big displays. (Quad core, 2GB of Ram, sd slot)
And then there is a lot of Nexus rumors flying about.
Personally, I would wait and get one of those.
Have you seen the iPhone 5 in person? Its pretty underwhelming. Disappointing, really. It looks almost exactly like the iPhone 4. Just the screen is 1/2 inch longer in portrait orientation, which makes it 16:9 in landscape (for watching HD television programs). It also gives it a goofy long "candy bar" shape compared to most every other smartphone out there. Slightly faster CPU, a bit thinner, and aluminum back (instead of glass). But otherwise its the same old same old. It really brings nothing new to the series. Also, the screen is still so small, it seems like a joke now that I'm accustomed to the One X.
GS3 is not a bad phone, and great dev activity. I might consider it. But we're already a few month along into that phone's cycle. So I wouldn't be surprised if an incremental update is not released on AT&T. Or the Note 2 may be an option for you.
I might consider the One X+, given its an incremental improvement on an already stellar phone. And its coming out on AT&T with 64 GB of storage. But given the bootloader unlock ituation on 2.20, I might wait and see how locked down any future HTC device on AT&T is before a purchase. Or wait for a dev community root/unlock solution before buying.
I haven't seen Iphone 5 in person. I have heard rumors bout the one x. Didn't know it would be worth the upgrade. It would have a lot of the same roms as this wouldn't it? Any info on a date on it?

The One X+ would be worth the upgrade (not the One X which has been out for 4 months now). It should be shipping this month.
And no it will have different ROMs and you will not be able to use the ROMs for the current AT&T version. Different chipset. You will brick your phone.

Man that sucks. The white version is my favorite. Looks better than grey to me.
Looked up some pics of the phone and not a big fan of that red ring on the back camera. Everything else can be covered with a case. But that is just tacky to me lol.
Windows phones are useless. Apple devices make no sense whatsoever. Android is so much easier.
Ever since growing up with Macintosh computers in 80s and 90s and the desire to napalm the original iMac my mother purchased. I find Apple appalling in every way fathomable.
I would atleast wait to see how the Jellybean rom is for the hoxl.

Red is pretty signature for Verizon Droid phones. I'm guessing it will be removed on the AT&T version.
I would wait. There are a lot of phones rumored to come. Like the Samsung s3 but with a smaller screen, HTC one x+, lumia 920(with amazing camera), a new nexus, and the note 2, as well as LG G phone with the new built in LCD screen. A lot of choices.

Black HTC One mini Leaked Images

Hey Everyone!
I couldn't fund any better place than to share it here, please point me out to another section if this isn't the right one. I was reading gadget news when i came across this news about the Leaked Images of the Black HTC One mini. I myself haven't still got my hands onto the HTC One so i thought maybe i should ask in this forum that how has your experience with the HTC One been? Do you like it? How many of you want a smaller HTC One like the HTC One Mini? Thanks for all your help. Looking forward to a constructive discussion.
Update 18/7/13: Just in case you guys missed it, HTC One mini has been officially launched by HTC
The One is a great phone. The only advantage of a smaller one could be better battery life? Not sure what battery is going into the mini?

Yeah, there still is no word on the battery i guess. I'm also looking into it, the HTC One X had a great battery life when i used it. HTC One i supposed also has that good or not? What do you say?
Lolx... Now that you mentioned it, i also noticed that i did start a war but it was unintentional :-O
I removed 2 questions with references to the "other flagship from another manufacturer". Those questions would fall under comparison threads and usually get flamed to oblivion
The camera looks slightly recessed in the picture. Interesting.

That looks a better idea to me, having it recessed.
Noticed that it also has the flash on top of the lens, is that a new placement?
My One has the flash to the side of the lens. Might be because mine is the silver model or because it's the UK model?

Ah you're right, that is different as well.
I wish the camera was recessed in the One. I would use a skin on the back and go caseless if it was like that.

Its because its HTC One mini, it not due to different color or model
The mini probably will have equal battery life, I'm sure there'll be a smaller battery.

I didn't think about it that way before
I'm the only one thinking that a Mini version is useless?

I wouldn't say it useless, it would be cheaper so i would love to buy it maybe
I just got my One yesterday and I was initially unsure whether I would like the size. After having hands-on time with it I actually really like the size. I'm coming from an original HTC EVO 4G and what I find amazing is that even though the One is larger it feels like it weighs slightly less. The only real dislike I have is the placement of the power button... kind of wish it was on one of the sides as it takes some finger stretching to get to when holding in one hand.
BTW, I should mention that my wife also got an iPhone 5 yesterday as well and the One just totally puts it to shame IMO. Somehow the screen on the iPhone 5 seems smaller than my old HTC EVO 4G and it definitely doesn't "pop" as much to the eye as the One. I was honestly kind of surprised in the disparity. And for the record I own a Mac Mini, iPad, and MacBook Pro so it's not like I'm anti-Apple or anything, but when it comes to phones I think Android, in particular the One, just eat the iPhone for lunch.

Lol what makes you say that? HTC One Mini if it is just a smaller HTC One has the potential to be just as successful. That size market is quite large and I imagine would appeal to a lot of people.
My only concern is if they changed the Mini to a plastic body. Hopefully they keep the metal unibody.

My sister loves the one except she thinks it is too big. Her husband has a one so she has played with it for a while. She was thrilled when I told her a mini was coming out. She is also coming from an iPhone 4s so that could be apart of the size issue.
So the mini has its place but just not for me.

The phone is expected to have a 4.3″ display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and 342ppi picture density.

Plastic pieces are just on front i guess. Rest is a metallic unibody
Phone won't be useless, I want to upgrade my old Desire and this is probably what I'm looking for! I like design, I like it being small (although it's not too "mini", better than big brother). Rumoured specs are fine (especially for Desire owner, I won't play demanding 3D games anyway and it has smaller resolution than One to compensate). Hope to see the price soon.
