HTC One X

rorz0r said:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually kinda over this waiting stuff now... When it was launched (a quarter of a year ago) I was excited about it, then there were battery life issues, then they were fixed and now theres wifi issues, and thats apparently fixed in newly manufactured stuff. Oh and the S3 came out with a slower clocked cpu that kills it in benchmarks and is thinner with a (bigger) removable battery and sd card...
Think I might just downgrade contract and go on month to month and get a bigger data bundle and buy a second hand s2 now.

the s3 is nice
it has a bigger battery because the screen is bigger also it will use more power
both are excellent fones , pity the htc one x is plagued by all these issues
i want to wait for the one x that have the wifi issue fixed,but lets see by the 9th july when i can upgrade.
if htc or mtn cant tell me if they have the new ones, then maybe i'l just go s3

glad you got a working one .what color btw?
what is the exchange period with mtn?
Click to expand...

Grey.
Mtn had white ones when I exchanged but the system would not allow them to replace with a white phone.
The main reason I wanted it was because it had a serial number staying with 25... Where all the grey models started with 24...
 
I may not even have had a faulty one initially.
I was using my desire hd as a hotspot and had weak signal with the ice child sandwich Rom. I noticed that this phone had the dame signal issues, but after I flashed miui on the DHD the signal has been much better.
I was rather going to be safe than sorry though. Will take this one to a friend's place to test properly.
 
The CF on the RAZR is nice but the rest is just "ok". Specs wise it's a bit behind the S3/OneX but at least that reflects in the price. I dunno, just nothing exciting enough that I want to get a 6 month old phone and be locked in 2 year contract I guess.

Just checked on our launch memo...we only have one stock code loaded on the system and the colour linked to that is "grey" or black I guess.

No word on availability of white.

what are the S/N's of the batch, probably 25...need to be 26i or later though to avoid wifi problem...
 
25f mmm manufactured early to mid May (5 denotes month)... nope we want 26I (that's the earliest the fix was implemented) or after that, would be the one you want...I'm gonna wait for a 27XX (July) model to be sure...

Ran over to vodaworld and they had received stock so completed my upgrade finally. They only seemed to have the black one x which I am typing on now. Only took 15 minutes to set everything up. So far it's amazing!

Awesome. What serial number is your phone?
 
Every other week I want to upgrade to a new phone (Current Phone HTC Wilfire). But then I realize there's no point. All my favorite apps (apps that I actually use) works great on this phone. The only stuff that doesn't work are Games... So I think I can still survive another 6-8 month before upgrading:)

Did mtn just take it back? What tests did they do. I want to take mine tomorrow.
My seven day period ends on Saturday.

I actually don't want to take the phone back, it is gonna suck to go back to my blackberry.

I'll have to see what mtn says tomorrow.
Which branch did you visit?

Update on my situation:
Went to mtn, on the last of my 7 days. Made a rookie error of taking everything except the charger which was still plugged in at home. So I told the Salesman he can grab the charger from the new box. Apparently that can't be done as I have to return my accessories, he would not even let me bring the charger the next day. So I had to rush back get the charger and they exchanged my phone, I asked for one with a serial number which started with HT25.. all of those were white though and I ended up with another HT24... Because their system would only allow exchange for the same colour.

I showed I them the article and said I don't want to exchange my phone every week after I have already set it up.

The resolution is that if this phone has the issue, I will be terminating the upgrade, if I have to do that I will probably wait for better deals and join another network when my contact runs over the full 24 months.

Sorry for only reading this now.

I just went back with the phone and all the accessories. I reset the phone back to factory default settings. I live in P.E. so just took it where I bought it from.

They tried to give me kak with cancelling the contract. I told them it's a known issue, HTC has gone on record stating it's an issue, and that it was an OBF. Told them they need to be prepared because smart people will be coming back with the same problems.

They didn't do any tests themselves, as I reset the phone, it looked like I had never actually used the phone :P (Goes through the whole setup wizard etc)

Then they tried to convince me to take another contract, said no thanks.

I would of just cancelled the contract and told them that you'd be back in 3 months time.. Because you are going to have problems with them later down the line when your WiFi starts acting up.

great stuff
did you test if you have the wifi issue?

We'll not sure but I am getting better reception than with my Legend so all good for now. Pushing the phone doesn't seem to do much. I might experience the problem later but fine now.... Just couldn't wait any longer and still have my Legend if need to repair as worst case. Been playing for a day and loving it... Very happy

cool. What is the serial number of your oneX?
 
Anyone know where I can buy a white cover? Expansys sell the Black/Grey one, but I'm looking for a white one:

Would just like to add that I have a HT23Z model, wifi works perfectly (confirmed with Wifi Analyser and my old HTC Desire in the same spot, connected to the same SSID)

So I am back to my desire HD after spending over an hour at mtn.
I told them I am not walking out with another replacement phone.
Apparently i could not terminate because it has been more than 10 days. This really pissed me off because I was there within 10 days and the guy told me to try another phone. If the problem persists I can come to terminate my upgrade.
I told them to take the phone and escalate the matter.

They wanted me to take the s3 and I was tempted to try it but decided to leave it, hope for cancellation and get as far away from that yellow scum as possible as soon as I can.

My is a 25, so definitely before the fix was implemented. Still no wifi issues...

Getting used to the bigger size as it is a massive phone - but really great for web and video!

Everything working well - just figuring out calendar invites now (found an app) and trying to find a way to awaken the phone without having to press the 'on' button.

Got the cheap (R30) cover from Expansys in black and it actually wrks pretty well - just a shame to cover up that beautiful One X body :-)
 
Just another note on ICS - the stats you can pull in on data usage is awesome - you can set limits and drill down into what is pulling your data. Great for a limited data bundle and to warn when it's approaching!
