So nobody who owns one of these phones can explain to me what the Beats audio feature actually comprises?

It's just a marketing gimmick to attract the customers. Basically it's a equalizer settings to enhance the audio experience. You can do the same with third party music players with equalizer. According to them for the beats to works properly i.e. the way it's supposed to work you need Beats headphones which so damn costly (4000+ INR) and hard to find an original one. I found 2 or 3 in a local store which they claim to be original but does not come with warranty so I went for Klipsch S4A which is awesome. They offer 2 years warranty as well.

Hi, thankyou so much for taking the time to reply.

I absolutely hate beats audio, from the headphones to the crappy EQ settings and was hoping it only meant that the phone came with beats audio phones which I could sell to a hype addict on ebay and replace.

It sounds like it is more difficult than that, or can the beats audio features easily be switched off?

Edit: We did some blind listening to some beats audio headphones, even the most expensive models sound truly awful with any music.

Yes you could turn off Beats if you don't want. Beats are for bass junkies

That is absolute nonsense, and you should stop suggesting otherwise.
nope.. its proven.. :D
I actually do NOT have the evidence.. but I read in another post that a guy put his phone in his pocket that had some sand and caused scratches and not even his metal keys did.. its logical coz nothing can cut glass except diamond and diamond is a type of sand/rock.. so it proves.. I just can't remember where.. ill update once I get it.. so reading that "sand story" I concluded it.. well.. if you really want to know, try rubbing some sand on your gorilla glass and tell me.. ;)

UPDATE

you don't believe me right??? Here is the proof buddy.. :)

36.5 is a little on the high side.. try negotiating or go to any standard stores like reliance digital, big c, mobile store etc, (depends on where you live), get the quotes and take it to reliance digital (they will do a price match) and give you the best price with insurance and goodies.. ;)
thats how i bought my phone for 36k.. :D

Seems like the batt life has improved...but cannot say its bcoz of 1.28... as the update was came fast.... might be the battery charge cycles....it settled down...

Ordered mine from SnapDeal!!!!

Hello People,

Have ordered the HOX from SnapDeal

I am little nervous as the reviews about SnapDeals are really bad and the long shipping time. I am used to FlipKart but this time I passed on to it thanks to the High Price Quote.....Did left few posts on FK's FB page and interestingly no one replied (Can u believe it!!!)

Anyways, Waiting for the phone anxiously (Estimated receiving date is 29Apr).

Can some of you guys suggest some good leather pouches available online in India....Looking for some good leather material like the official HTC one, but their's dosent look rich (u knw what i mean) :p.

Thanks in Advance!!!! and Congrats for your HOX purchase!!! Hope HTC survive the Galaxy SIII wave :p

Cheers!!!

Thanks for the information. this is what i was looking for. this 14 days policy is for HTC only or for every phone manufacturer?
Also have HTC mentioned the DOA policy on their website? i am not questioning your knowledge, i am just curious as to how we can know about the DOA policy of any electronic item we purchase.

i havent checked the policy on their website. the HTC service Centre guy told me that there is no way to service the one x. you cant dismantle it ( this is as per the service centre) . so they dont have any choice but to give a DOA Certificate.

    Guys upgraded my wife's S3 to JB about 2 days ago. Take my word its not upto all the hype. I was struggling to find what was really new and what has changed. Could figure out three useful features
    a) Google now
    b) Voice search
    c)two finger gesture.
    I feel all three features are something you can live wihout.
    After using the phone for about 24 hours the performance has just gone off the cliff. Its lagging heavily and is pretty much unusable. I have done a factory reset now. Hoping it will not degrade as earlier

    Take it from me that our HOX running 4.0.4 is light years ahead of the S3 running JB. I have personally experienced it. so just relax and enjoy your phone. The update will come just as all the previous updates have come.

    "Due to the cost-cutting measures and to make sure everyone gets the update, we will release the JB OTA on 22-12-12 to the people who are still alive after the apocalypse." Official quote from HTC
