*** The official HTC One X thread ***

Ok, Apex is a lot better - the jitter when moving between home screens is a lot less noticeable (but still present). The only time I am getting some bad jitter is scrolling through widgets. Also like how this is like stock ICS!!

Will probably stick with this for a while, thanks Robbo :)

Two things though; all my icons/widgets have gone which is a bit annoying :p and I remember reading a few pages back that the HTC clock widget does not work with Apex? And secondly, how do I change back to HTC Launcher :D
 
Literally, the GS3 was like bloody silk... I was lol'ing at all that "smooth and harmonious like nature" nonsense they spouted pre-launch, but it might actually be true :eek:

Yeah, you lose the HTC widgets which sucks.

To change back just go into Settings > Apps > Apex and clear defaults and then you'll get the option to set a launcher when you press the home button again.

Or just uninstall it!
 
Seems my camera will not focus on anything less than 10 CM away, Even my mates g300 will focus, This means all the barcode scanner apps are not working for me, Hope its a rom issue and not a HW fault as my warranty is voided by unlocking the boot loader apparently
 
I just sent my htc one x back for repair for the screen flex and squeeky noises.
Stuck with Three network on 1.28 and having bad battery, poor camera focus and gps....

Definitely will not buy a HTC phone in future in the first week of release....

I've had some trouble with this, even when you select macro mode, which is a little disappointing.

My guess is that the answer is in the 2nd picture. 41% of the battery gone on the display. Perhaps lower the brightness?

I have a HTC Desire HD and I use gmail a bit, but I've never seen 8% gmail usage though. Infact on mine now it's not even on the list so it must be very minor. Maybe some issue there? Unless you use it a lot.
 
screenshot of the graph?

brightness level?

brightness level is on 20-30%

1hour screen time?
 
If you find a fix let me know Andy

To be fair, I took a pic last night of a motherboard from about 4cm and it was fine. Maybe it's more about not selecting the right thing to focus on, if I hold something in front of the camera for example. It will still try and focus on the ground behind my hand/fingers.
 
So, having used the phone for a few weeks, some thoughts. I've kept it very simple as people who want this phone have probably got it already and everyone else will be waiting for the S3, or not bothering with either.

The Good:

  • Looks and feels great, an aesthetically pleasing device overall
  • The screen is excellent, aside from the black levels it's pretty much perfect
  • The camera is great, there's effectively no shutter lag and the interface and HDR functions are superb
  • The battery life is comparatively a step up from HTC devices of old
  • Audio quality is surprisingly good
  • Wifi and phone signals are both very strong, and call quality in general is great

The Bad:

  • Build quality issues plaguing many devices, mine is fine but many are not
  • The phone does not feel like a quad-core phone, performance is not all that impressive
  • HTC Sense, despite having some nice features, is very badly optimised, the launcher for example has some bad stuttering and it's quite annoying
  • The HD video recording isn't nearly as good as it should be
  • The battery life could still be better, it won't survive a day of really heavy use
  • It takes far too long to charge, 3 hours on the mains and 6 hours on USB is just awful
  • The limited storage, despite being reasonably fine could still be better
  • The volume buttons feel cheap - typical HTC
  • The power (wake) button isn't that easy to reach with one hand, Samsung putting it on the side is far better
  • The phone is slippery in nature, you could drop it easily due to the size
  • Tegra 3 seems pretty rubbish and has been used as a marketing tool

The Ugly:

  • The 3 dot menu at the bottom of all of the apps effectively ruin your screen estate - utterly bizarre and extremely annoying
  • Rooting (to fix the menu for example) is guaranteed to void your warranty, something which you don't want to do given the poor quality control HTC seem to have
  • The capacitive multi-tasking button was a bad choice due to the above
  • The camera ring isn't great looking and is badly exposed
  • Unlike the iPhone, many apps aren't optimised for the resolution, meaning things don't look as sharp as they should much of the time

Some of the above can be addressed by HTC, but there have been several updates so far and nothing to get excited about. Samsung have taken a far more sensible approach with the capacitive menu button option, which avoids the awful 3 dot menu problem.

So, I've been quite ruthless as you can see. While this is a great phone, it's far from perfect and it should have been so much better. I'm not so much disappointed with mine... well, I sort of am really.
