Buying One X

[Thermaltake868]

I am currently HTC Sensation user, and planning to buy HTC One, can you instruct me is it worth changing and switching from sensation to oneX, I mean how is batt. compare to sensation (I bought new one not on stock Anker 1900mah), I know oneX is a lot faster with that quad core cpu and nvidia gpu, tell me all info's I need to know, I already did a little reasearch by my own on google and gsmarena and sites like that, but I need some experienced users to tell me.

And can you someone tell me about unlocking when I unlock him on htcdev and do a nandroid backup in case I have to restore original rom, in bootloader I saw it's not locked anymore it's relocked when people are restoring original rom, so he is not locked anymore, and in service they can see that I unlock him before, am I right or I get something wrong ?

Thank you.

Hello, I think it's worth the change from sensation, through I don't know how the batt is on sensation, on my 3 months old Hox the batt lasts at least a day with heavy use and custom kernel, if you go for this phone don't expect good battery. I'm very satisfied with it, and I love its screen. And yes, in service they can tell its unlocked, I unlocked my the 2nd day I bought, and replaced because dead pixels, I gave it rooted and unlocked, so generally it's not a problem when it's hardware related issue. Through, if you can buy Htc ONE, I would go for that, I fell in love with it when I saw it and hold in hand, but I think it's not worth to change my hox as it would get sense 5 ver.

Tnx for all the info. My batt. on sensation not that stock one I'm talking about anker 1900mAh that I replaced with stock, lasts for about day and a half sometimes two depends on use.

Hmm don't know if they would change it here in my country if phone is unlocked and have hardware issue, becouse you can damage his hardware by overclocking it or something. And I think it's very risky to go in service with phone like that even if you relock it, they will know, and probably won't do replacement, becouse in my country they are very strict about that (****ty country).

Uhh I know that HTC One is dope phone, but it costs too much now cause it's new, and for htc one x I got good deal and price so why not go for it then, so I decided to search a little and ask here before my final decision.

P.S
So there is not other way to unlock it, except by HTCdev ?

Well if that's your country in your description then we live in same town, lol . I got it changed in the first 7 days, I think they will do it (based on my experience with other phones), if not then contact HTC, generally as I know they (HTC) don't do any problems for hardware damage. I didn't regret at all buying it. But I think many people here will tell you to get N4.

Ooh we are lol I didn't see

I think I'll buy it next week. What is N4 ?

Before going with HTC One X, how about One X+? It's a better device (hardware-wise).
The only drawback is in term of customization/tweaking. The only kernel in developing is Maxwen's one, and he isn't interested into developing a Sense based kernel (only for AOKP/AOSP).

Get the One

It has way better battery life (reports on German forums) and is way more future proof than the One X

I dont see the use of the hox+, it has also less roms available. And we also have kernels that ramp up to 1700 mhz

I got a good price for that One X, and One X+ cost way more here in my country than One X, so thats the main reason.

I mentioned this as an drawback ("less customization" in terms of kernels/ROM's). Taking the software drawbacks away, you will get glonass, better front camera and the speaker's amplifier (clearer voice at high sound output *good while driving*). Do I need to mention about Tegra 3 and variant 3/4 and OC/UV possibilities?
Regarding 1700mhz, sure but did you know that Kozmikkick achieved that by increasing the CPU stock voltage + returning GPU voltage to stock (by the way he is having variant 2).

Let's admit it, our chip is literally a hot chip! Our solution is UV/Under-clocking it, the other way around of doing it (with full respect to developers) is basically a pure none-sense. Our 2nd solution of reducing our phone's temperature is replacing it's battery with One X+ or modding LG 4X battery (this is added to the cost of the phone).

Actually I took the time to read couple your replies to realize HTC One is out of your budge (hence why I didn't mention it).
You seem like you already decided to go with HTC One X (make sure it's 32GB and NOT 16GB), also check for Galaxy S3 prices if the difference is negligible go with Galaxy S3 (better DAC, and you could install Beats).

I have the 16Gb version and I have plenty of space, and the difference in prize to the 32Gb was quite big. The combination of 10Gb and dropbox or similar is great. And I would not go for S3, a friend of mine has it, and after month or two the whole plastic is covered with small scratches, it looks horrible, and it was 2 times in repair shop because of the speaker. And it's overpriced.

32GB here. With 1.27GB free for apps ,and 2.72GB free (for storing files).
I bought an SGS3 (early batch) since the release date. I used it for a while, then got myself HOX. It's currently with my brother, and it's working fine with him (no scratches at all).
You dare speaking about repairs? Think about it this way, at least Samsung fixed your friend's phone ,and unlike HTC care which is having one of the worst service centers ,that I had to deal with. Let's just say they didn't fix any of the issues I am facing with my One X, with exception to the wireless defect.

Currently SGS3 price is near $399 and it seems to me like an acceptable price (this is my opinion).

Anyway I am here trying to give an advice, not to force my opinion.
I'll not be wasting my time, so I am not going to respond here anymore.


Good luck to Thermaltake (in whatever he picks).

Lol, it wasn't my attention to say which service is better, or getting in any kind of argue. I'm only saying my experience, which isn't the same on everyone. And no, Samsung didn't fix the issue, its worse, because now the speaker is ok, but when earphones are plugged there is no sound. And its not earphone problem.
