[julianhj]

anyone get a good retentions offer from tmobile on htc one X or S? my contract finished next month so be interested a see what people are getting atm.

I got 100mins/500 texts/unlimited net browsing/750mb downloads for £12pcm on a 24 month contract. I paid £29 for the handset.

White is the best 1.

This is coming from someone who normally prefers black phones, white is much nicer looking than grey.

I normally dress in black and my laptop, mp3 and ear phones are all black. I must keep it that way

Sorry HTC One X but I think I'll be sticking with my SGS till the announcement in May from Samsung.

Had my One X for a couple of days, pleased so far.
But, tonight I've started seeing visual artefacts - brightness changing when loading web pages, and lots of small lines leading in from the left edge of the screen when navigating between tasks on the Recent Apps browser and right now actually all the time on the left of the quick post message box

Anyone had or heard of anything similar? Screen's been on for an hour and a half but I would expect it to.cope with that.

Developing fault worth getting a replacement for?

I'm having the exact same issues. Nothing bad, but getting these glitches and flickering every now and again. Also, do you occasionally have the phone 'hang' with a 'loading' window appearing? It has always recovered within a few seconds.

Looking at someother forums it seems commonplace. I don't thinkits a hardware issue as playing graphic intensive games such as Dead Space is flawless. Next driver update should fix a lot

Unless you're in a suit, that is probably pretty weird

I had to choose between white and black, I chose black because White looks tacky and gets grubby quickly !

I really don't think it's tacky with this kind of material and if you look after it, it shouldn't get grubby. It would be better if the alternative option was actually black, but it isn't, it's grey.

If I couldn't get it in white I don't think I'd get one at all, the design looks that good!

 

[Jabbs]

Looked at both I went for the grey, its down to personal choice in the end but I just didn't like how the white one looked.

So what are people doing about cases?

HTC have a hard clear case for £20 available.

Not bothering with one, why ruin it.

Cases are for homos

just use common sense keep it in a pocket with no keys or loose change and it wont get banged up.

i HATE cases

 

[Jabbs]

I want a case after seeing the images of how easily the camera lens and outer casing gets scratched so deffo getting one and this from people who have been careful but the protruding camera lens is easy to scratch apparently, have you got a link to the htc one.

 

[stoke1863]

thats at 20% , screen time is about 1hr 30 , i havent used any phone calls because im still waiting to port my number to this sim. This is on its first cycle so should get better

 

[Robbo]

That's light use then. There's nothing wrong with that battery life at all, in fact it's pretty damn good.

Nice!

I thought the hardware that makes up our (future) 4G networks is different and thus incompatible with US 4G?

The S4 snapdragon has a integrated world multimode, programmable architecture modem. It supports everything!!!
The One S/XL should support all future 4G networks in the UK (Not sure about aerial compatibility)

Then you s4/Trega 3 fanboys can find out who is best!

So, what happens when nVidia start marketing their 28nm integrated modem SoC in 2013? They'll say it's worse than Tegra 3?

I would say it will last longer. Just like quads have been a better investment over dual cores CPU's. Just takes longer for the software to catch up.

Tegra 3 will consume 5-6W at max load. On average the 4.7" screen uses 1W and don't forget stuff like connectivity overheads. How big is the One X battery? 6.6Whr?

A good investment if you don't mind sub 60 minutes run time then

 

[Ewaf]

Whats with the "cycle" thing? Is that charge cycle or something? And what dictates a "cycle", when you use the phone till the battery is completely dead or what?

Sorry, I'm an android nub

Just come to the end of my contract and rang T-Mobile intending to get a PAC to move elsewhere.

Was offered the One X for £139.99, staying on my current contract (24 Months, £15 a month - 300mins/Unlim Texts/3GB Data FUP)

Apparently they're only selling the Black/Grey One X, no white!

 

[Ewaf]

I just left Tmobile and went with 02. I got the One X with unlimited mins, unlimited text, 1gb data, 24 months at 36 quid a month.

I rang up Tmobile to get my PAC code and they offered me 600 mins, unlimited text, unlimited internet for 36 a month. Wasn't really interested as Tmobile signal has been **** for me recently.

I tend to put my phones in a sleeve rather than bulking them up with a case. Currently my One X is in a Fitbag sleeve but I'm not that happy with it (it's a bit tighter than I prefer) so I've ordered a (probable knock off) Mofi one off a popular auction site as that's what I had with my Desire.
