HTC One X

[hungrybeaver]

So i took the plunge, have been running ARHD 7.1 with firmware 2.05.401.2 for a few days now. Immediately i noticed an improvement in overall smoothness and battery life.
Of course, as soon as i rooted i installed autostarts, and removed all the unneeded starting of apps for random system events, such as htc hub, etc.
The only mod i flashed is the battery percentage in notification bar mod.
Phone is smooth as butter, battery lasts longer, camera seems to focus better(im about 80% sure of this one), and most importantly multitasking is now a dream.
SO worth it.
Really recommend to any one x owner.

PS : Sonic 4 ep II is THE @#$%. Runs beautifully even with music playing in the background and various other apps running. Have only just begun max payne as well, seems excellent.

I'm running the same setup. The battery performance is a lot better - at the moment my GPS & WIFI are on all day and Google Latitude is always on for updates. If had to run the same things when I first got the phone my battery would last half a day easily.

well i got it, i couldnt resist so opened it so no swopping out for me.

it is a sh25 so more than likely the same problem.

I've had a Sh25 since the first week when MTN launched it and there have been no issues as yet. The only issue I've experienced more than once is the signal. Occasionally the phone will just not get signal, even though my work BB is fine. Both are MTN.. If I do a restart the phone returns to normal. The phone is rooted with ARHD though, there may be an issue somewhere.

Google released JB out in the wild and sent it to the manufacturers recently - I hope HTC are quick in releasing it!

I had that issue with the stock rom (non rooted) as well.

mtn corporate have returned my phone and ask me to choose a new one. i asked for a white one x and surprise, surprise, no white. ridiculous. anyway, didn't want to go s3 as i have bought most of my accessories already so will make do with the grey one unless anyone knows anywhere I can swop it out?

Did you send it in like a normal fault or did someone do something special for you?

ARHD 7.2 is out with mostly some bug fixes. Was thinking i should upgrade when i had a look at Renovate - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1705334. It's a sense based rom with tons of sense bloat removed. Have just put it on to download. I think its a full 200Mb smaller than ARHD. I've grown to hate the sense launcher's dock, and all the disabled apps at the bottom of my app list, but the vanilla builds don't seem to be that grand. Think this will be a nice compromise.

normal fault. they treated it like an oob failure. HTC SA were not even aware of the problem...

I was quoted 2.5k for getting my shattered screen replaced. Anybody know of any cheaper aternative?

how long it it take for xpansys to deliver your cover?

All in all just under a month. They were 10 days late. This is my third order and every time they make some or other mistake..but in our little corner of the world we're often left with no choice..

Anyone excited about JB release - not sure if it is going to improve that much - pretty happy with performance and usability so far.

Does anyone have a really good media streaming app for DLNA devices?

Also waiting on the black leather pouch from Expansys - a week late now; some customs delay apparently.

it should make sense faster we hope, im excited
not too excited hearing of expansys's delays tho, i just ordered a gel case, it says 5 days,was hoping to get some sort of case quick

Cool, any speed up would be even better. I must say that even with high usage my battery performance has improved a lot, probably due to the battery improving with a few charge/discharges

Yeah, definitely need something to protect that beautiful body. I got the black gel case and it took about 2 weeks from them. For the low price I wasn't expecting much but was very happy with the fit and protection it offers - score. It does increase the thickness slightly and obviously doesn't protect the glass from keys in the pocket so want to see if the pouch works for me or if it takes up too much space in the pocket.

yep it wont protect screen. how much thicker does it make it?i hope not too much?

i also got gel cases from ebay. about R18 each which is quite cheap. not much thicker. Also I finally have two pouches that allow proper access to all the peripherals.

i have no idea about the quality though. its a bit of a lottery. my desires screen was fine but my sisters desire hd wasnt like the original. still useable but not the same.

i wanted to get from ebay too, i normally do but that takes like 30days at least.if its not registered mail.

i want the case-mate barely ther case, i had it on my desire and desire S, its awesome
