Ive been debating on returning this phone for a Samsung galaxy note. I love flashing random themes etc. But I'm inpatient.. would the note be a better choice or should I just suck it up and expect great things to happen

Suck it up. One x is miles ahead of note in terms of, well, everything. Other than screen size. But 4.7 superlcd2 just blows it away.

The note is very akward. We really just got this ones x thing in some sort of working order a few days ago. Roms are starting to show up, themes are coming. There is no phone better than this.

I had the galaxy nexus...horrible phone. Camera sucks, battery was the worse battery i have ever delt with. And besides miui, all the roms are the same IMO, stick with this beast of a phone, once kernel source is released this will take off.

Withdrawals from what? Slow processors and crappy pentile displays? That's like saying you can't smoke chronic because you're withdrawing from schwag.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

I had the international One x sold it because of screen getting yellow spots and it was overheating. Just got the GN and is far better smooth and very fast. Faster then HTC One X. And its still stock.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

Because it is made by Samsung, the world largest plastic consumer.
I personally like sense4 when its modded a little bit I have the gnex and the Rogers hox... The one x is clearly a better phone just in build quality alone. I kept my gnex for tinkering and when the next big release of Android comes out

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

Not sure if serious...
I was offered a brand new galaxy note, and I am very tempted, I don't want to be, and but my geek self and love for big phones can't help it.
Basically just wanting to come firm once we get source will think some cm9, and aokp, and miui, be running 100%.
I am loving this phone, buy I have a ln issue with keeping phones, lol.
Any info/opinions would be great.

Flash CM9 its very stable now, I'm running it.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Really depends on what you want. I currently own both devices and dev for the note. The one x is a better phone in my opinion in all aspects. If the one x had the same screen as the note I'd sell my note in a heartbeat. No source is needed for good cm9 or aokp. Note doesn't even have official ics and we have cm9 aokp miui and paranoidandroid

Thanks for this, I think that's all I needed. Do we have paranoidandroid? Or it that coming soon?
If anyone else has an opinion please feel free to share.
I can't use cm9 until the camcorder works, we are expecting a baby any day now.

Idk I have been asked to bring in unofficial build over but I really like the rom I'm running now and my aokp from for the note kinda takes up my deving time right now

That would be sweet I have heard it rocks.
Another reason I haven't went to cm9 is I don't like the button mapping, and haven't been able to map it back myself, not that I have tried very hard.

I traded my galaxy note for the one x and I do miss the screen size of the note but love the one x so much more it's the little features that make me love it like being able to forward my text and email to my work phone right out the box and the camera on the one x is to me the best camera on any phone and to me the one x just seems to run smoother and I have not even rooted mine I have had it for about 2 weeks and love just running stock that's just my 2 cents

Once we get Kernel Source It will be all over. I see great things ahead for this device. No way would swap it for a Note.
you posted in a htc one x forum, of course we will say no... lol
I just got the One X last week and I'm loving it. I switched from Sprint to AT&T, so my choices were between the Note and One. They're both awesome and I was very tempted by the large screen, but in terms of performance the One X wins hands down. And my inner geek forced me to go for performance.
(Of course, I run xmonad on my laptop for the performance over beauty rationale too. lol)
BTW, I just flashed CM9 alpha5 and it's pretty sweet so far.
I switched from a note to a hox (on day 30!) And I don't regret it at all. The screen size was nice and the pen was fun but I'm really liking the one x. I came from an iPhone and had no clue what Android was about. The guy who was helping me when I initially got the note recommended the one x but all I could think about was the big screen of the note. I'm glad I had those 30 days for the exchange!
I have both devices and don't get me wrong, the big screen is kinda cool but it doesn't touch the One X. If I had to choose it would be the One X all the way.

If AT&T's note had the Exynos and not the S3 it would have been a tougher decision for me. Thankfully the S3 is pretty weak so I never even considered getting it. I haven't been happier about a phone purchase before. I love my HOX more than I loved my E4GT (one of the best phones ever), and even more than I loved my OG EVO 4G, and that says an awful lot.
I have made up mind, staying with the HOX. Cm9 is coming along nice, and I have done lots of reading the hox will keep me happier.
Thanks everyone.

Smart man Now stop posting in this thread so it dies and we can all forget that you were considering leaving your HOX for an inferior device
Hey everyone. A sad time indeed. My 1yr old doing his exploring has thrown my beloved one s down the stairs and broke her the case cracked open and some insides were broken. Only faults I can find so far are that my sound no longer works. Speaker nor headset so I am looking to replace her. I bought her the first day T-Mobile released the one s and loved her since having rooted her and running a great 4.2.2 ROM on her since she never left ICS.
Though it brings me to near tears to ask this, does anyone have any recommendations for a new phone? I heard something about a new HTC one series and other thoughts are nexus 4 and galaxy s4. I prefer top of the line devices but easy to root and good ROM supports are a must.

No replies? Hmm damn.
I've narrowed it to either the Nexus 4 or the SG3 if I don't decide to just replace my One S Lol. I really am in love with this phone.

It completely depends on your preference. Hardware is constantly evolving and so are options. You say you love your one s but you need to ask yourself what you love about it. If you love the comfortable sense feeling, you could look into the new htc one, though sense 5 is a vast difference from previous versions. If you want the best hardware on the market go with the s4. If you like the smaller size check out the nexus 4. Personally, I would recommend the S4. Guaranteed huge rom support and as top of the line as you could get this year. Do some research and see what fits you. Im a Note 2 user of about 3 months and love it more every day.

If you can wait a little longer Google will announce the new Motorola X series, perhaps this can be of promise as well.

If you want build quality (emphasis - it is stunning), like HTC's sense rom, want the beats audio/boomsound, and maybe other things I definitely would recommend the HTC One. Even with my perfect-condition One S was contemplating the switch to the One but decided to save money. Since you want a new phone, there's nothing stopping you! The phone is also slightly larger at 4.7" (whereas the One S is 4.3").
Let us know what you choose.
Edit: Awkward didn't realize you had actually bought the Nexus 4 already. Great quality build budget phone that is on the smaller side too. (Just a little outdated as the Nexus 5 is being anticipated but it will still get quick android updates).
Has anyone here switched from the moto x to the nexus 5? What are your thoughts and are you thinking about going back? I got my nexus on Tuesday and although I've always had nexus devices this one is just OK, so I've been thinking of trying the moto x.

Moto X has a more immersed Google Now and no KitKat. I think this Nexus will have more Google Now support via CM11. It's possible via our Snapdragon 800 chip.

I had both and returned my original nexus 5 because the Moto X has much better features and better in hand fell. I would have kept my moto X hands down until I won a nexus 5 at that point i returned my Moto X for a full refund saving almost 700 dollars. IfI had to pay for both of these I would buy the MOT X especially now with thee discounted price
Been thinking about picking up an X and return this N5. So disappointed with this device.

I would've gladly paid another 100 for the nexus 5 to be a premium phone.

Ill give you a solid review as im a in love Moto X owner and now a in love Nexus 5 owner.
Moto X
The screen has better contrast, saturation and viewing angles
Active Notifications make me want to come back
Solid, thick build quality. Feels premium
Speakers are LOUD and vivid.
Touchless Control is a plus
Nexus 5
Large 5in screen is nice
Super fast and developer support
Speakers suck, low and raspy
Super light weight, but cheap build feel
Cheap phone for what it offers
The Moto X will get kitkat soon, which will make it even better of a phone, however most of the Nexus 5's faults should be improved upon by software\rom\kernel support.
I've had both and think the nexus 5 crushes the moto x. Not impressed with the moto.
Galaxy S4!!!
Just picked up the N5 yesterday and sold my Moto X. The moto x is an awesome device with many great features but at the end of the day I love the support and Dev community of the nexus. Love the lightweight as well as the grippy back. At first when coming from the x the n5 screen looks washed out but after using the n5 looking at the x screen, it looked over saturated. Both great devices but I choose the Nexus 5.

But imposible for me to have it
I am really hoping is from HTC, I started mess around HTC's phone with HD2 it is probabaly still the best android phone to mess around with. I tried Galaxy S3 and S4, they are okay I am not okay with Samsung's phone quality really easy to scratch...now i have a HTC m7 it is also really fun with amazing audio quality..............HTC HTC please do well!
I think it is going to be a Huawei device. For a few years now they are working their way up quality wise, and I wouldn't be surprise to see the Chinese take the lead technology-wise.
