2 days left to return

Just found out that the galaxy s3 for the US will have the same CPU as
The one x. It will also come with 2gb of ram, which is a real plus. What would you guys do in this situation. I'm still kind of worried about that pentile screen, have to see it in person but I dont have much time left.

The 3 main criteria for me are screen quality, camera quality and feel of the device. I really dislike the screens on Samsung devices. All things considered, I'd be miserable looking at that display as a trade for questionable improvements in speed. A larger SD card, while a great option, isn't something I really need.
Build quality is also a big deal. I like the feel of the one x more than any other Android device I've handled. The S2 variants left me feeling like I had a bargain phone in hand.
I've heard great things about the camera on the S3, but while I'm still having some trouble in generating the type of shots I'd like with the HOX it's an excellent outdoor shooter.
THE END

I'd hate to say it, but I'm kind of in the same boat. I was dead set on this phone once Samsung made their announcement (was a toss up between the GNex, the GSIII or the HOX). I figured the awesome dev folks around here would get the phone unlocked so we could eventually run some stock form of ICS (which was a successful bet!). But the issues the phone has (WiFi BS, the lagging in the games, the frustrations with multitasking-esque stuff) are annoying. I was really hoping AT&T would be pushing out their fix soon to address at least the WiFi, but I was hoping for too much I guess. After this phone, I don't think I'll every be buying another subsidized phone again. I'd rather just roll with the Nexus line so I can freely do what I want with the phone.

A lot of the issues with the one x have been fixed with the latest ruu, and some nice tweaks have been made with the few rims we have now. Just wait until we get the kernel source and watch our battery and performance skyrocket. Imo, stick with one x and wait for the goodies to come.

Thanks for the replies but I think I'm gonna be returning it and see what the Samsung can do. I can always come back to the hox if it fails to impress.

I have a question...are these goodies you are talking about only going to come to those who are rooted? Is there expected to be an official release that fixes some of the issues I am having? My Wifi radio stinks and the cell radio is less than optimum. However, because I love the screen so much, I'm sticking with my HOX for right now.

I got mine at Wal-Mart for $158, and they told me I had 15 days. I wonder if that is just the window to return it and void the contract extension, or if I'm out of my window entirely? Although there is a lot I love about my HOX, That 2GB of RAM really has me squirming, together with the lockdownedness of the HTC.

I have (had? Cuz its broken) a skyrocket and the dev work was really slow at first. Once we got the ICS leak, things got much better.
Also, once more of these get into people hands, it'll take off. I'm hoping to get one tomorrow finally! Using an N1 is starting to get frustrating!

I guess I lucked out, got my HOX on May 10th from Best Buy with 90 day return policy. So I'll be checking out the GS3 on AT&T when it comes out this month.

The leaked 1.85 RUU has an updated radio, which may help your WiFi and cell reception issues. Its impossible to say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet its only a matter of time before this version (or something even newer) is made available as an official OTA.

After owning the Atrix, which had double the RAM and CPU of the original Galaxy S... I'd rather have a better screen.. Sure the One X has software issues like multitask, but we have root and the unlocked bootloader.. CM9 and other great roms will follow (I hope)... I think I'll be sticking w/ the One X. But if u really need the SD card slot then I guess your choice is already made.

Read the papers from Walmart at&t requires a 30 day window Verizon, and others are 15 from Walmart.

I'm keeping mine but I'm known to play craigs list like a day trader. I'm willing to bet there will be people who want to trade their SGS III for the HOX. I'll consider doing this if development on the HOX stagnates. I don't think it will though after all we don't have Source Code yet.
This phone os perfect for me. It fits my hand, it's light but not too light and the battery life is amazing.

Just returned it....now it's just a waiting game. Kinda miss the phone already especially going back to the iphone 4's tiny little screen .The specs on the new iphone should be coming out soon too.

I'm returning mines, the GS3 was just announced. Pre orders start June 6. The one x is a great phone but I prefer the GS3. Bigger screen, removable battery plus a sd card slot.

The Pentile display killed the SGS3 for me. Don't say "you can't see it" because once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's especially noticeable if you're like me and have been using iPhone 4 and now One X for 2+ years.

agreed on the display. with some of the wifi problems i've been having the last couple of weeks, frankly, i want to return it, but i just can't stand the idea of getting an SGS3 with that damn pentile screen and the overall pukey, pseudo-nature 'inspired' (read: playing the marketable environmental/sustainable/green card) theme. i've go ttill tomorrow to convince myself that the risk of my wifi never working properly isn't enough to make me return this thing...

Return the phone, then drive to different ATT store and get a new one for 30 more days

[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.

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.

A few questions about the One X

I'm looking for a new phone. I currently have a Nexus One that I got in July 2011. It was a pretty good phone when I got it (despite it being a year and a half old then), but now it's really showing its age. I've rooted it and installed ICS, but due to the limited ROM and RAM on the Nexus One, there are some problems. Furthermore, I've been running into data connectivity problems with the Nexus One (that I believe are hardware problems related to age) that are really annoying.
Anyway, I've been looking at getting a One X to replace my current Nexus One. I really want to stick with HTC; my past two phones have been HTCs and I really like their build quality and design, which is why I'm looking at the One X.
Before, I dive in and buy a One X (which I will likely get used on eBay), I have a few questions. I have AT&T. My current plan is on an old family plan with unlimited minutes and messaging, with 300 MB data. I don't want to change anything about the plan, but I am pretty sure I'll need a new SIM. Will AT&T be able to give me a new LTE Micro SIM for free no questions asked?
Next, how easy is it to root and install custom bootloaders, recoveries, and ROMs on the One X? I know that HTC doesn't want us messing with things, but I'm pretty sure that I'll want to play around with new ROMs on the One X, providing I get one. After living with stock Android and things like CM and AOSP for the past two and a half years, I told myself that I'd give Sense a legitimate test, but if I don't like it, I'll definitely install a new ROM.
Last thing: white or dark gray? I think that both colors look great. I've seen them both in person and can't make up my mind. White looks really clean and is definitely something different, but I'll probably get a case for the phone which will cover most of the case coloring, so it may not make much of a difference anyway.
Thanks.

I honestly suggest going with the HTC one. If you get the one x from att or it's on the new firmware and wasn't rooted, you will be stuck on stock. The reason I suggest the one is that it'll be brand new while the hox will be a year old by then.. The hox is still good, but the end of it's life already came. I doubt HTC will support it further.

If we get sense 5 as has been confirmed? by reliable soures then that'll bring a fresh wave of development to the one x. I do agree though about getting the one over the one x.
Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita

If you have had your current phone since 2011 are you due for an upgrade? HOX are still going for a good chunk of change on eBay and craigslist, I got mine a few weeks ago from radioshack for 99cents.

I've been due for an upgrade from AT&T for a while now, but like I mentioned in the original post, I'm on a family plan with my parents, who don't want to change anything with the plan and don't want to extend the contract out either. I've bought my past two phones off contract and I don't really have a problem with doing so for my next one. I'm looking at a One X just for this reason. For what it is, it seems to be the best deal off contract; I've been seeing them going for about $200-250 on eBay. If I were to wait for the One, I'd probably be looking at prices in excess of $500.

If I was in your boat, I'd get the latest nexus. Updates come way faster than they ever did with any of my other phones and the price is right.

The Nexus 4 is my next choice after the One X. I do love the Nexus line and the Nexus 4 is a really pretty phone, but the all glass back concerns me a bit. It seems like it would be a bit too fragile.
Anyway, any route that I go, I'll probably have to get a new SIM. Will AT&T give me a micro SIM with LTE support?

If they're like any of the carriers here, you'll have to buy the sim. Usually around $10 I imagine.

I went from a nexus one to the HOX as well. A new sim was included with the phone when I got it. If one isn't included you can just go into an ATT store and ask for it. I got one for the wife's new phone that way without any charge.

Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2

I have been noticing that my Nexus One has been seeming to slow down a lot lately. I would go for the Nexus 4, but it's lack support for AT&T's LTE bands has me concerned. The One X seems like it's a best match for me. It has the HTC build quality that I really like, it has great dev support here at XDA, it has a 720p screen, and true LTE support. Even if I get a device with Jelly Bean that can't be rooted or unlocked now, I put my full faith in the community here. I feel like we as a group can work around the limitation and find a way to root the 4.1 One X.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I got my One X this past Saturday. I love it. It's a huge step up from my Nexus One. Everything about it just seems high-end compared to the Nexus One.
The screen is amazing; moving from WVGA to 720p is a huge step up; everything looks so crisp and clear, but that's to be expected when you have a PPI that almost matches a Retina display.
The phone is blazing fast. There's virtually no lag while doing anything at all, which couldn't be said for my Nexus One. It was a pain just trying to browse the web on the Nexus, but with the One X, it's a complete delight.
One of my main concerns with the One X was the battery life. The sealed battery doesn't bother me at all; I never replaced the batteries or any of my previous phones. With my average usage (about 30 minutes browsing the internet over HSPA a day [no LTE here yet], a few texts, and little to no calling, plus occasional WiFi,) I'm getting about the same battery life as I got with my Nexus One. At the end of two days of use, I was at about 20% battery.
Finally, my biggest concern was dealing with Sense. When I was thinking about getting the phone, I don't think the bootloader for v3.18/Android 4.1.1 was unlocked, but I believe it's now unlocked. I got the phone and one of the first things that I did was install Holo Launcher HD, my preferred launcher for a stock Android 4.x experience. To be honest, I can deal with Sense...for now. I've always used stock Android on all my devices, so this is my first time dealing with Sense (or any skin) on a daily driver device, but it's pretty manageable. I think I'll stick with stock Sense for the time being until I feel that I have to have a AOSP or CM10 experience on the One X. There are a few annoyances with Sense, but they're manageable.
Overall, I'm very glad I got the One X, and I don't regret the decision at all.

I'll start. I came from the note 2. It was fully unlocked running a new ROM each night. Unfortunately it overheated overnight just a few days ago.

From Note 2, my favorite phone ever. If you look at my signature, those are all the other phones I have owned, including a Note 3 I returned. This M8 looks good so far, supposed to be delivered today. I saw a person at school had it, and it looked nice. He asked if I wanted to hold it and I said no, cause I want to hold mine for for the first time. If I don't like it I will either return it, or sell it and wait for the Note 4 to leaked to hell (yes leaked) or if the Z2 is on VZW I am picking it up.

Came from the HTC ATT One X+ device. It's night and day! Old phone at a 2100mah battery with tegra 3 chip overclocked. Even with root, tweaks, custom rom still only get maybe 6-7hrs of battery life with no gaming, youtube, nothing! I'm a heavy gamer and wow this device is amazing on Dead Trigger 2, like xbox360 graphics and fluid! Doesn't overheat either like my old device.
Some little software flukes like no blocked text messaging option anymore in stock messaging app, soft keys won't go from portrait to landscape when using camera, etc. Hoping though when we get the new software update with the power save modes we will get these fixed and put in?
I asked in the intl forum if they have block text messaging option. We have blocked call option, not texts like before though.

LG G2 to M8
Things that take some getting used to:
-5.2 inch screen no bezels compared to M8's super chin
-G2's neutral color tones to M8's super saturation (the play store looks acid piss green)
-Paranoid Android to Sixth Sense (although nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be)
BUT I caved to the M8 because of headphone audio quality. HeadFi has been hyping HTC devices and the difference really is night and day. And microSD support helps too.
My one concern is battery life. Too early to tell. Hoping for the best.

Came from a Nokia Lumia Icon which I got 4 days prior to getting the M8 yesterday. Got the dot case and a pair of Sol Republic headphones for a discount (which sound amazing with this phone). Perfect phone setup. Very pleased with the M8. No issues since set up. Definitely worth an upgrade from last year's model.

Note 2 here as well. Had loved that phone for as long as I had it, but the issue with "Refreshing SIM data" constantly finally broke my spirits. I had rooted, overclocked and was running CM11, but the M8 blows it's doors off. Kind of miss having a "phablet", but I've still got my Nexus 7 and iPad 4 for the bigger projects.

I came from a Galaxy Nexus. I loved my Galaxy Nexus, but even with fresh wipes on optimized ROMs, it was running painfully slow. So far, I enjoy the M8. I'm a big fan of the overall build quality and the bezel doesn't seem that bad to me. My only gripe is how tightly it is locked down on Verizon. Not being able to play with custom ROMs or even have root is a big issue for me. Unfortunately, there isn't anything else I'm interested in. Unless there's a surprise announcement of the Sony Xperia Z2 coming to Verizon, I'll probably stick with this phone.

GS3...Definitely takes getting used to holding a phone this much bigger. I also keep going to power it on on the right side instead of top right lol...I don't like the swipe to unlock as I unintentionally wake the phone often other than that though the phone screams performance wise

No.
Even with considering the lawsuit, Verizon got away with continuing to charge unlimited customers a monthly fee for using the hotspot feature.
Rooting "alleviates" that issue.

I'm thinking about switching to the s5 but I love this phone. I get a new phone every so often though outta habit. Would you guys think it'll be a beneficial switch? Or should I stay on the HTC team?
HTC ONE M8?

Two words. Locked bootloader.

It depends what you like, two totally different phones

Confused by the wording but as of now and for the foreseeable future the s5 has a locked and non unlockable boot loader. It does have safe strap, however, which allows it to only install touchwiz roms (kernel restrictions). The m8 on the other hand can flash any ROM any kernel anything it desires because it is unlocked and s off.

I know this is awful late but to be strictly clear with no confusion, you CANNOT flash any kernels, ROMs or scripts (some scripts work but most likely not fully functional due to LOCKED bootloader) on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Now with this 'Safestrap' option you can backup/restore your ROM yeah but any ROM which isn't made and digitally signed by Samsung/your carrier will NOT work. There is currently no way to bypass this and if you want to flash anything your best and only option between the two is the M8.
On the other hand if you don't care about flashing that much then the M8 is still tons snappier and faster than the S5, even beats iPhones in their snappiness where as the S5 loses to the iPhone in speed tests between switching apps. & it's not benchmarks i'm talking about, strictly the speed of when you open apps and navigate through them. Real usage.
Loads more stuff but if you want the good things about the S5 look elsewhere from my post as I've never had one and I myself love the M8.

Additionally, the m8 wins in every head to head review I've seen. Nearly everyone prefers it.
I've had both Samsung and htc phones, you can't go wrong with either. But after using the m8 I wouldn't even consider switching to the s5. It's way faster in nearly everything it does. Plus you'll get updates much more quickly with htc, which is a huge plus for this phone holding its value in the future.

Why am I... oh well.
M8 wins in everything but camera. 4MP just can't compete. It's good enough for some but it's just not a great camera.
Samsung is like... It's just cheap parts all the way down. A Samsung phone and nearly any other manufacturer's phone (Apple, HTC, Motorola, etc) walk away from the farthest tower in any one direction, and they walk away from all the towers. They're all in active calls. The Samsung will drop first every time. They skimped on the radio like HTC skimped on the camera. What's more important? Your camera? Or your connectivity? Remember, we're talking about your phone here.
Also, the S5 may have a locked bootloader (I didn't know this) but for the M8, all you have is Sense ROMs for the time being. Everything else there's some deal breaker or another. But the phone's only a few months old. I imagine the bugs will all get ironed out by the end of the summer or so.
There's no phone out or on the horizon I'd rather have. I'm curious as to what Motorola and Apple do next, but I do believe I got the best smartphone on the market with my One M8.

Thanks for the replies guys..I think I'm just gonna stick with my M8 ?

Good choice imho.

After all, it is an M8 section. Everyone will be biased just like if you were to ask the same thing in the S5 section.
Each phone has their differences. For example, the S5 has a removable battery, touchwiz, and a few other things I'm sure. But one thing is that it does not feel cheap, I am not sure what started this famous "cheap" talk about phones because nobody ever complained when the first droids were the same materials...
The M8 does have amazing speakers if you value that. The "premium" metal chassis makes the phone very heavy compared to other smartphones like the S5. Sense has also come a long way from froyo days.

Everything feels cheap compared to this phone. It's kind of a ridiculous and negligent point, but metal does feel more premium than plastic. Doesn't mean the internals are cheap, but you can argue that plastic is cheaper than metal.
Anyone who actually purchased an s5 and not this phone who actually use XDA simply didn't do enough research first. No question that this phone is the clear winner, at least on Verizon's and AT&T's network. If I was using t-mobile or sprint, I probably would've been much more torn on what to pick.
Maybe it's bias, maybe it isn't, but I used to be a Samsung fanboy until I tried the m8 out. I loved my S3, great phone for a long time. Can't say I'd ever regret not getting an S5.

Plastic makes the phone very light. If you use a case, your argument becomes invalid. I use a case with all my phones including the M8 so I don't feel ever the aluminum, just the heaviness of it.
If you value kernels and aosp/CM based roms, then M8 is the way to go. If your into stockish experience, then either one is a winner.
Don't get me wrong, I love my M8. But I feel I should shed some unbiased opinion on which phone fits you. The LG G3 is also another great phone you might want to check out.
