It's a new phone. It will have issues. Get over it. I've never seen so many people complain about something. It is literally the best phone you can get right now. If it doesn't work for you get an iPhone. I love this phone even with the issues it has. They will be fixed. Sorry just my two cents.

It still amazes me that people complain about a new device having issues. This is HTC's new flagship device which has been created from the ground up. It's the first generation of said flagship line and is bound to have issues. Guess no one here had a 2g iPhone. Sure it was amazing, but I also had its short comings.
I returned my HOX cause they didn't have any available for exchange. Going to buy one tomorrow from Walmart. Can't wait to get it back.

I started a thread like this and it was closed in about 5 mins or less. It seems like complaining on here is the norm and not the exception. There are definitely some issues here and there...luckily for me, they don't affect me too much because of how I use the phone. Every phone I have had has had issues...best phone made period. Glad you're enjoying it.

I concur. It's ok to have threads like "Multitasking is a joke on this device", "Who else is returning their handsets?", "Disappointed w HTC QC" etc. but it's not ok to have a thread confronting the complainers. It's true that if you spend money on something and it has issues you're entitle to complain but srsly saying **** like "Im gonna return my HOX and buy an s3" is just plainly redundant. This phone is a complete new direction in manufacturing technology for HTC and the only thing I can chastise them for is the fact that they seem to rush it out, but I can totally understand that it has software/hardware issues. Instead of threatening to return and to buy from Samsung, why dont people just either do it and move on w their lives, or be patient and wait for a solution? Look at the screen flickering issue being incrementally solved as an example. Moreover, the S3 hasnt come out yet so stop it the comparing bs already. Werent the S and S2 plagued w issues upon launch as well?
Mini rant: Samsung hasnt changed their handset manufacturing or design since like forever (really I have a 2008 Samsung f480 or something and it looks reminiscent of the Galaxy line) so it's expected that their handset making process is more refined. It's not fair to compare an old-fashioned design w something as innovative looking as the HOX.
So, you are COMPLAINING about complainers? How is your topic any different from the rest? At least the topics where people complain about issues, helping raise an awareness of the problem, with a hope that the developers will fix them, while topics like this have absolutely no purpose whatsoever.

The great news is that the SGS3 will be in people's hands in less than two weeks. If the launch goes like the i9100, and GN, the comparisons to "perfect" that we've been seeing will suddenly look pretty feeble. As they say, "he who laughs last, laughs best."

There's little constructive conversation in the complaint threads. No one's trying to put their heads together to clarify and resolve a problem. They are ***** fests. The multitasking thread is a great example. 2/3 of the posts are just "OMFG, this is inexcusable" pile ons. And anyone that dares say it isn't bothering them is squashed like a roach.
I agree people need to stop *****ing. Nobody forced u to buy the device. If u don't like it return it. Otherwise stop *****ing.

I agree. People can complain for 65 pages about a new phone, but if someone creates a thread about being tired about all the *****ing, it gets closed immediately. The reply by the Mod was condescending and rude, yet he allows other threads to continue. No surprise though, it's the XDA way.

So, what are you proposing about that particular? We should all just shut up, go with the flow enjoy the broken phone? Seriously, one thing is complain about something minor, like theme colors, another is something that makes the phone virtually unusable. The more people complain about such things, the more the manufactures get aware of that, the more chances they gonna do something about. Maybe perhaps we should get another topic where people can vote if they like it or not the multitasking is working?
Topics like this on other hand, has no practical or any other usage. That's my point.

Actually, topics like this help to even out the discussion and see both sides of the story. A casual user would get the impression that the phone was garbage and no one likes it if all they read are complaints. It needs to be known that not everyone is complaining about the phone. The last thing anyone wants is a media blackout.

This is nothing like the first iphone. Android has been around a long time, Android 4.0 is like 7 months old. It's the same camera module from the year old SGS2.
What is so revolutionary? I like mine a lot, it's a slick phone, but it's not that groundbreaking.

Both Samsung and HTC have designed their products to meet the needs of millions of people. Along the way there were bound to be compromises. If any of those compromises don't meet your needs, don't buy the phone. XDA probably represents at most 5% of the phone buying public. For 25% of the 5% to think they can band together and try to make multi-billion dollar companies bend to their wishes is pretty naive. So by all means, have at it but don't ridicule the people that see the futility in some of the complaining.
Some of the features of the navigation system in my car drive me crazy and other members of its forum agree. It would be laughable for a small group of us to flame the manufacturer expecting them to revise the system because we don't like it. But yet, here on XDA, that's a pretty much daily occurrence. I don't like the way the automatic soap dispenser works on my dishwasher. Maybe I should gather up a group of fellow disgruntled owners and spam the manufacturer's Facebook page demanding they change it. If you want to send a message to a manufacturer stop buying their products. That'll get their attention a lot quicker than #neveragain campaigns. The GPS on the SGS (i9000) was in fact with no debate FUBAR. Owners launched the largest social campaign I've ever seen trying to get Samsung to fix it. Samsung never responded. They and Apple now share 90% of mobile device profits. Oh well, so much for that.
I don't know what you guys do for a living but decisions at large companies aren't emotional; they're statistically and financially driven. In cases like Asus and HTC unlocking their bootloaders it wasn't the rallying of the 25% of the 5% that made them rethink their policies. They were probably on the fence to begin with and the positive PR and low financial impact is what got them to change position. A device can easily meet the manufacturers financial objectives even if the entire XDA universe boycotted it. We're described as "enthusiasts" and make up a small but vocal part of the phone buying universe.
HTC's now on record saying multitasking is working as designed. Everyone here is still in their remorse period. You have two choices: 1) return the phone, 2) keep it and hope that since this is now on HTC's radar maybe there may be some future improvement. Option 3, which a lot of people seem to be taking, keeping the phone and *****ing among themselves isn't going to change how multitasking works.
Things like petitions and posting on social sites are fine. They are ways of communicating with the manufacturers and letting them know how some of their customers feel about their decisions. But as with everything, there's a time to call it a day and move on. This isn't a civil rights fight; we're talking about features on a phone. And of our "issues" probably 10% would even be noticed by the phone buying public in general.

The problem here is none of such compromises are publicly available for users to weight their decision with, none of the reviews have mention such crucial flaws, they have some cons about colors in photos or phone being too wide, but nothing that would greatly affect user's experience with phone's usage. Customers will have to experience it themselves, which means they will have to buy it first. (for example LG Nitro HD has defective hardware compass and the only way to know about it to experience it yourself, because nobody is talking about)
In this particular case with multitasking, the only people who's not getting affected by it are the same people who shouldn't buy such phone in the first place, since they just wasting money on something they don't use to it's full potentials.
Also, the same logic as "don't like it, don't buy it" can be applied to the OP complaining about the complainers - don't like it, don't read it, move along. But, it's just does not work in our imperfect world...

On this, you and I totally agree. Part of what makes XDA fun (for me) is the difference of opinion. It's interesting to see what's important to people and how everyone uses their device differently. The battles always start when smart, knowledgeble, strong-willed people all try to get each other to agree. And I've never seen that happen here or anywhere else.
Imagine I'm making a thread like "Who else is not returning their HOX and dont give a **** about the Samsung Plasticky s3". Pretty sure it will be closed so quick my chair still doesnt get warm yet.

No i think what is being said is that these threads dont help other users, they just are meant as a knee-jerk reaction to complaints threads. If you want to do what you are suggesting in your post, then you should start a thread along the lines of "I love this phone and here's why", not "tired of the complaints." That's just a complaint about complaining, plain and simple.
I also started a thread speaking of my problems with the one X and I got a bunch of people whining about my whining which I don't understand. And the point of the thread was not intended to go that route. Anyways I guess alot has changed here in XDA.

After 4 years of owning an iPhone, I have reached Day 30 of owning an Android phone - specifically, the HTC One X. Why is 30 days noteworthy? Because I have 30 days after buying a new phone to return it to AT&T if I am unhappy - so, if I'm going to go back to the iPhone, it would have to be later today.
I'll go ahead and spoil the ending for you: I'm keeping the HTC One X. If you're curious as to why, read on!

Thanks!
What a great read. I have been an Android user since coming from WM6.5. Flashing roms, tweaking and customizing way into the early hours of the morning had eventually gotten to me and I was very tempted to jump ship to iOS. I knew however that the tinkerer in my would soon feel very limited and I wouldn't be happy in the long run. The HOX has been awesome! CleanRom 3 is buttery smooth as far as I can tell so far and I eagerly await any sign of an official CM9. I found a lot of parallels in your post and smiled!
Great article, I am in the same boat as you I compleatly agree with you especially this quote.
...iOS is what Apple wants it to be and Android is, for better or worse, what you make of it

What a great read! Very comprehensive and without even the slightest hint of bias! Glad you decided to stay with the One X.
I had an iPhone 4S for a few months and I loved it, but I missed an awful lot of the little features that make Android well... Android. I think iOS is great, and the iPhone is an awesome, awesome device, but there really is just so much more you can do with a high end Android phone that you can't do with an iPhone.
I am right there with you on tablets, I have (and love) an iPad and just see no need for the level of customization that Android offers. On a phone it makes sense because you are on it ALL THE TIME but a tablet you pick up, do one thing on and then put it down, and for that the iPad is perfect for me.
Congrats man! I did the same thing, so I know its a big deal
I'm about to go pick up a HTC oneX today to see if I like it. If not, SGS3 for me.
You made me realize that I've had my phone for a lot longer than I thought. I got it on launch day may 6. For some reason it didn't feel like I was past the return window.
I have a similar experience as this is my first paid android experience.
I honestly don't think I'm switching to another operating system for a while. Android is going to keep getting better.

Dude, very nice read... How did you manage to steal my thoughts? ....I too moved from iOS after 4.5 years....And, followed similar line of thoughts before moving to HTC One X..
Just read the article and it was super interesting to me because I basically went through the same. exact. process.
Had my 3GS for years and was due for an upgrade but the One X pulled me in. I bought it with time to return if I was blown away after WWDC just like you. I'm finding myself with the same conclusions that you came to and totally agree with everything you talked about.
It was scarier than I thought it would be transitioning out of the iOS ecosystem, but I'm glad I did it. I also find that I use my iPad for unitasking like you described.
Great read.. I wish articles would be written like this. I'm so tired of the fanbois on all the tech websites that all claim that their os is better and are so ignorant... It was nice to read an article that lists the strengths of both iOS and android.

Yeah, it varies from post to post, but you're right, it's gotten noticeably worse over time. I've been pleasantly surprised by the reasonable responses to my post, though.
Of course, I do wonder if the responses would be...less pleasant if I'd posted them in the Apple section.
Just brought home my one X, now I know why you made the change!!
Interesting read.
Wondering from the screenshot, how do you get all the shortcuts on the bottom bar?
What do u think for this?
I want to buy a xiaomi mi4?
If i sell the n5 for around 300 usd and i will need 100 more to buy the phone in my country?
If you like, i got a oneplus one over my n5 and its too big, the nexus5 is a good size with lots of support, you should check out the forums for user experience and the problems users are having, see if theres any micro stutters or issues that ruins your android experience
Battery size was the main reason for upgrade, to 3100mah and its so much better
I would stick to 5inch max but that depends on how big yout hands are.
No.
Nexus 5 is a really good device. I used Xperia Z and LG G2 before. I'm also using Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. I was a iphone user once, my wife still uses iphone 5s and ipad. Well I had a Lumia 920 too once (before xperia Z).
As you can see I'm pretty experienced nearly all UI's and OS. I can clearly say that Nexus devices are totally different. Trust me. They have issues, they need to be updated. But they make you live a totally different experience.
Make your own decisions.

I would agree with that if we were talking about some plastic toys for children. But the truth is, that almost any high tech product or part of it is made by Chinese. Probably Mixaomi is made by the same factory as Apple. And another truth is, that for this situation are guilty mostly west factorys, because there are so greedy and they need cheapest working force as they can get.

The hardware is not the problem, its the software thats the problem. Look at Oppo where they released Color rom 2 for the Find 5 that is cloned off OmniRom without giving due credits and even manged to mess this up. Let them prove themselves first, till then i stick with the established brands that can repair and give warranty for my device in my own country.

Kinda sad, was tempted to buy a ph-2. But now I'm happy I'll get a chance to buy a ph-1 when they go on fire sale. It will fit right in with my nextbit Robin.
this was a response from Essential that Android Police received
An official Essential spokesperson responded to our request for comment. Here's what we got:
"We always have multiple products in development at the same time and we embrace canceling some in favor of the ones we think will be bigger hits. We are putting all of our efforts towards our future, game-changing products, which include mobile and home products."

I was just wondering that myself.. let's hope the support continues for years to come. I have no plans to upgrade. Love my PH-1
I would not count on continued support for very long. You can’t hardly get decent long term support from phone companies that stay in business...
Sad day really. Especially the cancellation of the phone. I really believed the second one was going to get it right. I only had two problems with the phone: Low light performance of the cameras and poor signal strength (mostly indoors)
I don't think it would have been hard to improve in those areas for their next phone. He is giving up to easy.
P.S. won't be buying their other products if this is how it's going to go.
Maybe we need a petition started to give him more confidence.
It is sad, the Essential Phone had such promise. But sometimes in business "Promises" won't pay the staff or the bills. I was looking forward to PH-2, but now I am, I can't believe I am saying this, looking at the iPhone X.
I have use Android phones ,Nexis< from the beginning. Nexus left us in favor of the extremely expensive and hamstrung Pixel, I was really hoping Essential would fill that void, the one thing is the universe is constant "Apple" seems to always keep thing consistent.

Bummed on this one for sure. I've been impressed enough with this phone and especially the support to have considered replacing my wife's aging Nexus 5X with the second generation one (assuming the camera was better than the ph-1).
this feels exactly like what happened to me when Google sold Motorola soon after I bought my 2013 Moto X, which is still my all time fav phone. Google was supporting it (we got KitKat FAST) and then BAM the support was yanked out when the company got sold. I was starting to like this phone almost as much.

Told me they can't confirm anything software wise not even Android Q.
Welp there you have it. I replied "I can't confirm my in cart purchase. Software is an integral part of Android".
I learned over the years the extra $100-$200 is worth it for support and software alone.
It's a shame I really wanted this phone, does many things right for the price

It's a shame I really wanted this phone, does many things right for the price
Good luck to RM3 buyers and owners

Totally feeling you, but most customer service reps are given scripts that say the same thing. That's kind of a standard response.

Told me they can't confirm anything software wise not even Android Q.

Hi,
Got the phone the very day it was released as "Global".
Of course, software updates are a concern.
But less than they were some years ago.
I must say that the "new features" in Android 0 are still quite mysterious to me.
And since the last 3 iterations of Android, I do no feel like some of the new features are real must-have.
They're nice, but I can do without them and won't even notice they're missing
More important are the bug fixes. And I hope they will take care of those as it seems the first try on the Global software is not perfect and has a lot of glitches !
Regards.

Aside from their Facebook page, is there a bug reporting tool of any kind? There's a small community on their website here:

Yes, you can use the internal log collection tool to catch the bug and send to Nubia through email.
Well i also asked them regarding the updates and i got this reply
"Hi，
Could you describe the details ? I don't quite understand what you mean. In addition, we will keep updating and optimizing the phone."
The first part was for an issue.
I will try to ask them regarding android Q
I will honestly be shocked if Android Q is ever released for this phone. :/
This phone received 2 updates in less then 3 months...
