I'm looking for an Android phone with a good camera and it seems HTC One X fits my budget ($250). I read that HTC One camera develops purple fringes. Is that true for One X too? Please advise if it's still worthy buying HTC One X or if you have other suggestions please let me know.
Are you wanting the HTC One X or the HTC One XL / at&t One X? You're asking in the HTC One XL / at&t One X forum. The camera on this phone is fine, I've never had a problem with it.

It's going to be mostly AT&T HTC One X. That's what I find being sold in Ebay. That said I was assuming that there should not be much difference between the AT&T version and the other versions of One X. I could be wrong.
They look similar but they're entirely different on the inside. But you're in the right place for the at&t version. In my opinion it's the better phone; far superior development if you're looking to unlock/root it, the Qualcomm chip doesn't heat up nearly as much as the chip in the international One X, and if course it's LTE too.

That said, it's an older phone (as phone development cycles go) that's not getting the newest Android, so... you know, as long as you're OK with that.
Just to be clear, it may not be getting the latest Android via an official update but I'm currently running 4.4.2 thanks to our developers. Just saying it won't get the latest version might be a bit misleading.

Hoxl for me has been awesome. Its time for me to upgrade devices but I enjoy my hoxl so much I'm actually pretty content with it. Curious to see if hTC will survive its money issues and possibly create a curve version

No. I hate this phone. The battery lasts too damn long and the 4G is too fast.

I'm sure you can find Moto X's around 250 on Craigslist or eBay? There is that Monday Sale (300$) coming up as well.
Outside of that, One X is an okay choice. It would be better if you wait though. We're probably only 2 months from HTC introducing their next phone and that could probably drive HTC One prices to 250.

What ROM are you using?
I'm strongly considering buying the Moto X tomorrow, but if I can get good battery life with this phone, I'll gladly pass.
I'm on cm11 w/stock gapps.. If you use 4G exclusively you'll get roughly 8 hours. Its hard to tell from this shot but standby is amazing.

Moto X is strong piece of hardware.. I haven't checked out the x forums but the the moto Atrix had excellent Dev support.
Just don't expect much from Motorola.. And for that reason alone I can't recommend the x.

Hello guys, i'm in love with the One S, but i've been watching the forums lately, and the One S is receiving way less attention then the One X.
We have at least 3 big and great custom Roms for the One X, and i can't see any for the One S yet.
Do you guys think the One S android development is going to reach the One X sometime?
I want to know this, before i buy the phone, or else i'm getting a One X
One x doesn't have a bootable cyanogenmod..mainly sense roms. The desire HD took a while to kick in on dev side also..its preference
The only development missing is really cyanogenmod daily type and tool sets Modding battery etc.you won't be missing out on much.plus our battery's last longer and doesn't have the flex issue the first x stock has lol
It is slow bit but come onn...crap phones have active development...it will happen.

One X counts as "Flagship" so more ppl buying it - more development. But I think after first few 2-3 month ppl will understand that S is as good as X, also I guess it wont be problem to take same roms from X and make them avaible for S.
Definetly not something what should affect your decision about what phone to buy. Choose which u like more, the development of roms will be good for both.
Maybe One S will get more attention after it gets released on Tmobile.

Exactly this phone is still yet to be released in some parts of the world. Maybe the best developers don't have the phone yet. It's early days so be patient

Once again, thanks!

I'm so happy that I opted for the S instead of the X. In my (humble) opinion, most people have been drawn to the Quad core of the X - but it seems the S is just as, if not more, powerful!
I think as people realise that the S is up there in the power ratings then development will pick up. I hope so, I miss having my Insertcoin\ARHD etc ROMs to choose from =D

Its not the Quad-core that stands out on X, its the 720p IPS SLCD2 display. Its the best on the market today. I havent seen One S in person, but usually SAMOLED displays suck big time, perhaps HTC done some calibration on this one to make it better.
I love the Amoled screen, I thought it was ace on the SGS.... I think its even better on the One S....
if someone doesnt like it, They tend to slate it, and that puts other people off... instead of just sayin 'personally its not for me, i prefer the xxxxxx screen' they rant and rave 'oh its **** dont waste your money'
and it gives it a bad reputation

Calm down azzle lol..I get what your saying though.I personally love the screen..didn't at first but messed around with the contrast now its lovely

I won't buy a phone if I don't think there's going to be a good amount of development for it. That being said, I think the fact that its a global phone will help alot.

i also can't wait for s-off. the htc dev method isn't a choice for me.
I'm disappointed in the developers which decide blind for the one x. Sure it is the Flagship, but with years old manufacturing technique. nobody can say that a comparable 40nm manufactured cpu saves more energy that a 28nm manufactured one. faster sure, but a pockedheater^^
only one good dev for a rom and one for the kernel is enought for us. I love to flash costum roms, best two times a week^^ i miss it.

Just curious, why is HTC Dev not a choice for you?
Im on my 1st Android a Sensation XE coming from iPhones and have to say loving it.
I'm now thinking even though only had my XE for 6 months, on the One X. Worried a little though on the battery life and non replaceable, I am a heavy user.
Also now the S3 is announced and is nigh on the same physical size and wondering on people who have a One X what would they do if now had choice?
Cheers

I love my One X. The S3 is going to be an awesome phone too. If you like HTC (and it looks like you do) you can't go wrong with grabbing a One X. Although, if I knew what I know now about multiple nexus devices, I might have waited to grab one of those. Really, if you're going for a high end android phone from 2012 I don't know that you really can go wrong.

search research read and make your own mind up. that is how you going to know if the phone is for you. you might think i am joking but i am being serious..and not being horrible it is true..search and you will find loads of threads asking the same question as you what phone is the best. google is your friend..good luck and hope you all the best whatever you decide....but if you like Nexus phones then wait till october when the new one gets released
All depends on whether you like sense or touchwiz. Easiest way to find out is to go to retail shop and try before you buy.

the very best way is to buy both and sell the one that you dnt like if you have the money, of course
and the best way is to use google and research like the guy above says, because you ask this question in the OneX threads and everybody who have a OneX loves it ... and i love it too ... some issues are still there to be honest, but with the next OTA it will all be perfect.
I personally feel that HTC one X has a more beautiful design than S3. S3 is not ugly but to me is definitely not a beauty. However, there are some crucial things that S3 has but HTC one X doesn't have which is removable battery and a SD card slot.
Hence my advice to you is know what your preferences is whether is a hardware design or having a removable battery. Then make your decision
Batterywise, The One X, with older 1.28 firmware is better than my old Sensation was even when using the XE battery.
Thanks for replies.
I can't say I prefer HTC sense over touchwiz as never used touchwiz, I've tried it for 2mins in a shop once.
I think I prefer the look of the One X, but the removable battery tempting, do you think the One X will get any of the software features of S3? eg the smart screen stay on thing etc?
The One X I would probably buy if its a bit cheaper which it is at mo,.probably about £350, whereas S3 is going to be £500 or £34/month.....
If you must upgrade, I'd go for the SGS3. But if you can wait, I would. The Sensation XE can pretty much do anything the other two can, albeit a little slower. But who cares?

I really, really want the nexus 4 and I could sell my HTC One X on craigslist and get around $300 for it. Is anyone else doing this as well or am I just stupid and should I keep my HTC one x?
I will be jumping to the nexus for sure... After I see how early adopters fare with it.
After getting the one X I swore I would never buy another non-nexus phone. Granted the hardware on the nexus phones normally isn't the top of the line, but I never felt locked down in any way with the nexus phones. Want an unlocked bootloader, one simple command in adb and she is unlocked.
Also since there is only going to be one model all developers will be creating roms and kernels for just that nexus. No 4G models, or models with different processors, gpus, ect ect.
From what I have seen the specs will be good enough for me, as long as the battery life is as good as the one X and there are no production problems I will be grabbing one right away.

Yeah I forgot about the one model thing. I don't like how they're 2 models of the HTC One X and like 6 models of phones like the SGS3. I wish they wouldn't do that.
Let's please keep the posts in the One X section about the One X. Thanks!
So I am looking to get a new phone through AT&T and I was looking into either the HTC One X or the SGSIIS. I've never had an HTC phone, but my husband has and he said for what I want out of the phone it would be a good choice for me. He has a SGSIIS and I really like that phone too. So I want some opinions on some experiences with these phones. Please and thank you.

I love my HTC one x, and the screen is so clear and phenomenal. If you are looking to root then a variety of roms are available on these forums both are pretty good phones. Also if you are a workout freak like me then the HTC One X produces great sound quality through headphones and it's speakers with beats audio. Although htc one x has a non removable battery and no sd card slot. But 4 to 5 hours on screen time and 10 hours of power is fine by me. I think the battery is pretty good. Plus there is an array of roms in these forums and you can get longer battery. But if you bought the HTC One X + that one has 64 gb's of memory and a 2100MAH battery and is 65 percent faster processor. But If not the HTC One xl is still a great choice. Test both out in the store and see which one you like better.
P. S. Remember to post in question and answers thread next time. I guess they moved it.

Well, I can't afford either of those phones. That's why I asked about the One X and SGSIIS. Either way we have it figured out now. Radioshack has a deal on buying the SGSIII and getting a SGSIIS for free. Plus the One X requires a micro sim, which I can't get.

Well if you're not getting a microsim I guess congrats on your new purchase of an SGSIIS... I've heard nothing but bad things about that phone.

You should have no problem getting a MicroSIM if your new phone needs one. Either from the place that sells the phone (they should have them for new customers) or at any AT&T store. I've never been charged for a new SIM. A few times phone support sent me to the store for a new SIM to resolve an issue. Plus, depending on what type of SIM you have you may need a new one for a LTE enabled phone, even if you don't have LTE.

Why can't you get a microsim? Are you buying off contract and planning to use it on some budget carrier?
You realize you can cut down a regular sim card and use it in a microsim tray, don't you?

Yes.I checked it on gsmarena site.Seams to be looks good but it has battery life problem so lets se if other peoples replies on this thread.
I would go for the one x without thinking twice... Better build quality, better display, more ram...
NO MORE HTC SENSE DEVELOPMET.......YOU DONT SEE SENSE 6 ON HTC ONE X.....STUCK ON 4.2.2 SENSE 5
hey guys,
I just checked it on market.There's one guy has One X and it was running sense 5.It seams to be its UI,touch,using is same as our Sensation except it is powered by quad-core nvidia processor,light weight and a big clear screen.
my suggestion is not upgrade to hox , better wait some time and get better phone
I think specs wise one x is definitely better than sensation. However one x and sensation are, frankly speaking, very old phone. There might be no more updates for these phones soon from our devs. So I think you should get newer phones.
