One x + Development? - HTC One X+

Hey guys
Will there be enough development on this phone?
The reason I am asking is whether to choose the one x+ or the the Nexus 4!

I own a Galaxy Nexus, and all the roms have the same UI (maybe apart from paranoidroid). I'm buying a HTC One X+ to get some proper build quality. I don't trust a 350 dollar LG phone tbh.
Also 16 GB internal memory is a joke.

If you aren't in a rush, hold off to see if the optimus g gets an unlocked bootloader from devs or lg.
There is a thread in general telling people to skip the x+ if they are really concerned with dev support.

Optimus G or HTC One X+

AT&T is sending me a brand new LG Optimus G to resolve a customer service issue I experienced with them while trying to troubleshoot an issue, actually a few issues I was having with the phone. So, I have 14 days after it gets here to decide on if I want it or the manager handling my claim said I can contact him and he'll send me the One X+ or the Note 2 instead. Amazing service, especially since I am not being forced to re-new my contract or return my One X that I currently have. What is your opinion?
How big are you?
If you are a largish person with big hands, I'd say go for the Note 2.
I had my heart set on the Note 2 when I went to upgrade my phone. My heart sank when I held it in my hand. It was way too big for me.
So I came home with my LG OG. Can't be happier.

The Note2 is way too big for me and I had the HOX+ after having the HOX. Returned the + as it wasn't close to being the same phone as the original. It was laggy and ate battery like crazy. So I went back and exchanged it for the LGOG and I love this phone! Battery life isn't great, but I still like it better than the HOX+.

I wear XXL men's gloves and I still think the Note 2 is too big. Unless really you want the stylus (which wasn't a big deal to me), I say go with the LGOG. I've had it for a full month and it's been a great phone.

I'm average height and hands, I don't mind the size of the Note in my hands, just when it is out in my pocket. I am feeling good about the LGOG, especially when devs start porting from the Nexus 4!
Thanks for the advice

I was really close to buying the Note 2 but after playing with the LGOG...I was sold.
After playing with the LGOG I knew I made the right choice personally.
The stock software isn't given nearly enough credit anywhere on the internet.
To pretend that touchwiz, sense, or any other flavor comes close to the amount of customization this phone has on stock is well.. sad.

Ive had the OG for about a month now, definitely made the right choice.. there isnt a better phone on the market, besides the butterfly.. id go OG, battery is kinda annoying but everything else is A++
Ran super pi on it and it did it almost half a sec faster than my buddies note 2..

This is same dilemma I am in. I have 11 days left to decide but I have an unlocked international One X that has the variant 3 Tegra in it (all 4 cores can run 1.6) and I got the JB update. Each day I like this phone more and more. A few reasons...idle battery drain is amazing, speed and screen are incredible and I saw in store the 16 gig SD was able to be increased to 80 total internal and SD so I figured I would try. I do have one more line to get though...

Is there s off for One X+? I know they way they are updating the OneX to Jelly Bean is a long process with all of the different international cids. There is zero lag on my One X running JB and I am sure X+ is the same but actually I used one in an AT&T store and it was same speeds as my variant 3 One X. Then I tried it again at another store and it was much faster. There's no Sense lag on JB. I am probably going to add a 2nd line and change to family share and split between both phones

X+ bootloader is not unlock, you have to go through HTC to get it unlock to flash roms, not real bootloader unlock.

Wait so you can get unlock code and ROMs flash with the kernel. You don't have to fastboot every time you flash a ROM? if that's the case I am going to get my line 2 today! Lol

That's what I said HTC is not real unlock bootloader, you still have to flash fastboot cmd. There is real unlock bootloader for X+ but need extra hardware and gold card cost extra money , currently only few knows how to do it. Not software not software hack like LGOG.

Hrmm,
I honestly would go with the Optimus G.
Optimus G Pros Vs Htc one X+
-snapdragon s4 pro versus tegra 3 ( s4 pro is 24nm as opposed to tegra 3 40nm) smaller which equals more efficient(also newer)
- light skinned UI vs htc sense
- in terms of aesthetics I think optimus g is better overall. extremely sleek!
-newer better battery I think its lithium ion polymer vs lithium ion
I'm getting my first smartphone via the FedEx man in two days and it's an HTC One X+.
I was seriously considering the LG OG, but, I've not yet had a chance to play with either phone. I ordered mine via walmart wireless, because I was able to get the One x+ for $150 with a $100 wal-mart gift card.
Reading this stuff though, I think I owe it to myself to head over to the AT&T store and check out the LG OG. I can always return the X+ and go the LG OG route. My only concern about the LG OG is that I play a lot of games on my phone and the lack of 'Tegra Zone' games is a bit of an issue. Although, I'm not sure I can name 1 Tegra title that I just HAVE to have.
I briefly owned a Nexus 7 but had to return it due to a hardware fault. If only I could look unto the future with a crystal ball and see what kinds of games are going to be coming out in 6 months, lol. That is what I really need to know!
Anyways, sorry to be so long winded, it's my first post so I can't help it. Only 9 more to go until I make an a$$ of myself in development chat! Yay!

I've rooted both Htc and Samsung devices and have found Samsung just a tad easier. Also the flagship phones seem to have more developer support. So out of your list I would say the one x+

LG optimus G pro its perfect with the last eye technology
optimus g
HTC One X+
Awesome build quality and great price/performance ratio
Just make sure you put CM 10.1 on it, you'll want to get rid of the HTC Sense skin (full of bloatware)
ACE 2
The question depends on what do you need. If you want a "brick" that may even break a wall, you can buy some Siemens or old Nokia phones But if you need a good mix of all main good features from Andy, get Samsung Galaxy Ace2:angel:
htc one x+ out of those
It depends
it depends on what you want from a phone, i wanted a good gaming phone so got a xperia play but it all depends on what you want from a phone
I would go for One X+ as well.
From the list which you have provided, i will choose HTC One X+ .. but i personally think that One X+ is bit over priced.. Now if i have enough money.. I will buy the Sony Xperia ZL.. i feel it as the most compact and powerful 5' device at this point of time..
I will go with the one x+ , i used both samsung and htc but ibreally loved the htc amazing screen fantastic resolution and a decent battery life , samsung is easier when rooting and flashing roms , but htc is brilliant go htc and you wont regret it

It the One, still the one?
With no SD card and no removable battery, AND the arrival of the Galaxy S4, Is the HTC still the best?
I see lists of phones with ratings and complaints of this and that as far as UI and bloatware, if these phones are rooted and a custom ROM installed, then could someone direct me to a comparison of phone based upon being rooted and a custom ROM installed?
I have a GST-P1000 which is average without being rooted, but I'm running Andy 4.2 in CM 10.1 and it is a totally different animal.
Can anybody help?

Deciding what phone to get

I'm thinking about changing phones I'm on T-Mobile with my amaze no longer under contract. I was looking at what they have to offer and had 4 thoughts. I'm looking for input.
1. Get the iPhone 5 and sell it to make a profit and keep using my amaze
2. Get the HTC one the processor isn't much faster than the amaze and the camera isn't as good and it also lacks SD card slot
3 get the nexus 4 16gb looks pretty nice quad core processor and is aosp but still lacks an SD card slot
4 keep my amaze and wait till it craps out.
What do you guys think? And I checked out the HTC one forums and saw sports on there so I personally ask you sports how's the HTC one

It depends. The one is a good option because it will probably be popular enough to attract development. Plus there's a 64GB option. And the Camera is actually pretty good. And I think it has LTE. Have you considered a GSIV

Just went through this. New HTC one is very fast, don't let mhz ratings fool you. Go use the phones until the sales guy kicks you out.
I tried new htc one. Old htc one, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g cousin, s3 and note 2. All much faster than amaze. All great phones.
In the end because I didn't want to lock into contract, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g were hundreds less than the rest. Went with Optimus for LTE. Arrives this week.
Hoping when s4 is finally on display in my area I don't regret it. Based on reviews like trusted tech heads at arstecnica the new LG Optimus g pro phablet is the benchmark king. Out shortly if you like the size.
Keeping my amaze as my ORD phone.

Before picking up any phone I would make sure to check out what bugs people are noticing in the forums. Things like how the amaze capacitor lights bleed etc.
No regrets on not waiting for s4. Tried one out for an hour yesterday. Great phone. Just not hundreds of dollars greater than others I looked at. Happy I went with unlocked lg.

I've been using a HTC One for the past couple days and it's really fast. The front speakers sound clear and pictures are all right. The phone has no grip though so you might want to pick up a case on Amazon. The profiting from an iPhone sounds like too much work for not enough money. The Amaze is still quick for most things so unless you hate it I think you should keep it.
Go with the HTC one. It's great and development is amazing! Battery is also awesome. I get 4hrs screen on time! Sense 5 is also very fast and minimalistic making it an aosp like Rom that just tons of extra features!
I upgraded from my amaze.
You can also use the HTC logo as a Menu button so you won't lose screen realestate from an on screen menu button.

its upto you which one you like, I would personally prefer HTC one, but again there are several pros & cons of each, before buying a HTC just get one thing straight, this company has a bad reputation when it comes to software updates, HTC always stop providing support to their handsets before expected, for eg. HTC one s was recently ditched,many others back in history were treated just same way, ...
one more thing, I was in a mobile store the other day checking several devices, I found neither of S4 or One as attractive as they are presented over internet, there was only handset which caught my eye-HTC butterfly, real piece of beauty, & upcoming Butterfly S looks even more deadly, so I would suggest you to go to store yourself & check them personally rather than buying online...
Lol, this is the Desire X forum, who cares.

your better off asking this and looking in the appropriate ONE or S4 forum
I would definitely go for the galaxy s4, if I needed to decide between those two. Personally, I would prefer a current flagship phone from Sony.

LG G2 thoughts

It looks really good, I am thinking about leaving HTC and jumping on to LG (especially since the One mAx has been confirmed not to be running the snapdragon 800.

G2s a good device but nothing spectacluar imo.
Really dont like the back buttons.
Wish that Oppo would drop in the US with the touch panel on the back of the device. Or the Mi3!
If the One Max has an S4 or an SD600 im going to consider the Note 3 but im really liking the Nexus 5 rumors right about now also. Tough decision next month.
Sent from my Evo 3G LTE
I dont think I would trade my s4 for it. The main reason is that is is LG. I had the thrill which was in my opinion was one of the best feature filled phones but there was no software upgrade/fix support. After spending all of the time modding I went and bought the s4 and gave the thrill to my sister. I love the s4 user community and would never go back.
