Not happy about it. Wanted this phone for pretty much the entire year and I assumed that the One X+ had fixed every criticism. Disclaimer: some of the faults may just be my handset.
1) Sound quality is good, except when it comes to rock music (then it becomes atrocious). Remedied with a Fiio E6 but the bigass phone combined with an amp is really impractical to keep in the pocket.
2) Gets far too warm, it freaks me out. The whole phone gets hot. I assumed the Tegra 3+ was built with a smaller process but it's just the same 40nm process over clocked. May just be my phone but honestly the screen is sometimes a couple degrees from being too hot to comfortably hold.
3) All games have severe FPS issues. Probably fixable with a custom ROM but I'm not risking waiting.
4) Battery life is mediocre and drains during any activity that is "heavy", like 4 times more than you would want. In the battery settings menu, they ripped out the metre that tells you how much battery the screen has used. Odd. Missing the S3's removable battery a lot.
It's a shame because I quite literally think that the One X is the best looking phone of all time, and let my iPad serve as a counter measure against bias against Apple products. Apart from these niggles, the phone has been an absolute pleasure to use... But I didn't drop iPhone money on a phone just to text and browse the Internet. Will probably be begrudgingly be going back to Samsung, despite their heroic build quality and laudable marketing and business practises. The Nexus 4 is also an option too. The iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 will also be on the shortlist.
Literally been wanting this phone since the original was announced. I wholeheartedly agree that your experiences may be different. Just putting here as a warning!

Damn sorry to hear that but doing my own google research what you explained seems to all be true, not just your device. For getting warm i can understand, getting hot, there's no excuse for any company to allow this unless of course just making too many production shortcuts. Gaming is a big issue for me too since i do a lot on my iphone 4 and was planning on even doing more on this HOX+ with better processor and screen. If gaming is crap and the phone feels like a hot potato after 20min of gaming, ATT will see a very fast return on this device! Then idk what the hell to get, not impressed with the iphone 5 and Nexus with 8 or 16gb of storage is pretty sub-par, again cutting corners...
What specific games have sever fps issues?

Was actually thinking Opt G hands down but bro read some hands on reviews of it! Plus it's wide as hell, at least HTC did it right with the Verizon HTC DNA coming out (butterfly J Japan version) as the 5" is taller device, not wider. Could not stand a wide tablet in my pocket all day and the build quality sounds worse than the Galaxy S3 and the camera is very sub-par quality. Personally would never purchase an LG phone in this day and age. Crap build quality, crap internals, never see carrier updates. Not worth it for me at least so not even an option.

Straight from PCmag review on Optimus G for ATT and Sprint:
One big problem: I did most of my testing with the screen brightness set to maximum. I noticed it dip considerably after about 10 or 15 minutes of benchmarking. When I checked on it in the phone's Settings, I saw the brightness level had dropped down to 66 percent. I tried to turn it back up, and got the message, "Unable to brighten more due to high temperature. Try again later." This happened on multiple occasions. Especially when using processor-intensive applications like games, the top half of the phone became increasingly warm. LG claims it has not encountered this problem, but this device, along with two test units on Sprint all showed the same behavior in our tests.
So not only does it overheat but also starts turning features off to compensate for the heat now restricting what you can do on the device. So if you're happy playing a game for 15min, stop for 15min, repeat then no prob, lol! Can't understand these companys pushing out phones that can't even play a game more than 30min without blowing up in heat????? Really don't want the iphone 5 but WTF with all these other NEWER devices coming out and their overheating issues???
It also comes shipped with Ice Cream Sandwich, not even Jellybean 4.1. They say in the coming months it SHOULD come out with an update to Jellybean 4.1 and by then everyone will already be on Jellybean 4.2 or higher, lol! Prime example on how you will get the worst carrier updates if any for the Optimus G device, epic fail on too many fronts for a new device and what a waste of that nice S4 Pro processor...
Have mine just some day, so nothing to say about battery... according to some tests it should be okay, maybe good to very good
Did a lot of copy jobs etc and my device is not getting any hot... a little warm, but not too much in any way...
Sound quality is very good, nothing to complain :good:
I like it very much, just waiting for Root only thing bothers me a bit is the lack of mass storage mode... everything else is superior to my Sony Xperia S!

Here's the thread on it. Sounds like you need to use the HTC Sync Manager on your pc for file transfers as this method recognizes your device as a media device, not a storage device from my understanding. Still don't have the phone yet waiting on lagging ATT to install all their crapware before it comes out.

This is not true. All phones/tablets are recognized as MTP-Devices in all Android-Versions from JellyBean on. This means you don't have a normal windows-drive with a drive letter but rather an equivalent to a connected mp3-player or media device. Still you can copy all files to phone (and back) in windows explorer.

Why would it bother you then? Slower transfer speeds?
I too have no problems other than LTE not enabling. I'm on Rogers and LTE is supposed to be in my area. The APN is set for LTE and data is working but only H and 3G show.
For the over heating, it is just like the iPad 3rd gen or any other high end tablet. Charging while playing a graphically intense game will make the device uncomfortably hot. If you are charging any device including the One X+, it is best to leave it alone until fully charged. Now if nothing is running on the device while charging and it gets uncomfortably hot, you may have an issue. Apple says 37-40c is within iPad and iPhone 5 specs, not sure what HTC's max temp specs are for One x/x+. At 40c, another 10c and you are half way to boiling point so I hope HTC's rating is no higher than 30c!
I ended up going with the Note 2 as it was only £30 more and I really missed my S3. Very hard to get used to the size and I do miss the industrial design of the one x but the sound quality and performance are in a completely different league.

I have the 3rd gen ipad and I can tell you that the one x got significantly hotter than the ipad, even with it charging and the brightness up to full. The back of the ipad got warm; with the one x+ the whole phone got *hot*.

Why compare a phone to tablet? Is that fair? Tablets have a much bigger surface area for heat dissipation.

Been iOS jailbreaker for years and finally decided One X+ was worth jumping ship, at least on paper. Glad I'm not a gamer. Just needed a bigger screen and more flexibility without having to wait for jailbreaks every time and iOS update came out. But realize I may be in the same boat having to wait for custom ROMS if I don't want to wait for HTC updates. Sigh.
Mail client
Got mine yesterday, and I was pretty happy with it too - until now, that I found out that it's almost useless for me half of the time (work): Because Sense mail client does not support certificates?? wtf... standard android feature! So no exchange connection for me - I do not believe it... So I will have to wait for first custom ROM... Really hope it won't take too long.
Besides that the phone is incredible - still will get rid of Sense launcher - golauncher is much more adjustable.

Some of you already know that a few of us from the HTC Elevate have the new HTC DROID DNA. Since this thread open some of us have answer your question that you may have about the new device. We have no problem answer your questions or showing photos of the device. But for the life of me and others please please stop the trolling. We are just like you, a phone junkie and have likes and/or dislikes. No one said the phone was the greatest thing ever made. No one said we are sells people. No one said buy just HTC. I have a few non-HTC phones that I like (SIII). So yes it's true a few people have the phone and yes we can answer your questions. But let's be real with the questions please. Please ask away about the phone and I'll tell you the truth about the phone. I have nothing to hide to you all and I like rooting my devices too.
From your personal use of the device. Does it suffer from previous common HTC issues.
Heating issues? Previous HTC devices suffered from heating issues even when not charging or playing a game
How does overall performance differ from The Exynos on the GS3 and the Tegra3 on the One X?
Is it similar to the Rezound where it was "technically" sim unlock out of the box, but some common features like sms were nonfunctional because a lack of proper framework support?
Really the only big question I have that I haven't seen asked is whether or not HTCDev works. Thanks

Battery life? and How much screen on time?
I've read a lot of hands-on previews and seen lots of hands-on videos. Was wondering what the actual thickness of this phone is. I have a galaxy s iii too! CNET and several other places are quoting that the HTC reps are saying it is thinner than the GSIII. I really don't see it. It looks kind of chunky to be honest. Places like GSMArena and PhoneArena are listing it as 9.7mm as well, which is thicker than the 8.6mm on the GSIII. So I'm confused. I hope its thinner though...
What type of soft touch is the back? Is it just like the One X, or is it more like the HTC 8X? The 8X feels awesome BTW.
Those stripes on the side. Are they ridged and made of their own separate material and feel, or is it just a fancy painted on thing and is part of the same piece of polycarbonate as the back?
It seems to suffer from the same shiny fingerprint look as the One X. Is there any improvement from the One X in this regard? One X also had perma-shiny, where rubbed off areas were permanently shiny. Seen any in the DNA?
How good are the loudspeakers? I heard there was an amplifier or something for the loudspeaker in addition to the headphone jack. The GSIII aren't much better than the GSII. I think the One X had a bit better speakers. But the Galaxy Note has awesome speakers. Don't sound tinny nor distorted. Fuller than most smartphone speakers. Almost as good as the crappy speakers in my car if you turn it up, minus the bass. Where does the DNA fall in this spectrum?
Do you see any improvement in the camera? I've seen sample shots and the colors look a bit better. On the One X, the colors seemed way off to me. I also saw a sample video. It looked smooth, but it was short. The One X had choppy video and smeared a lot. How much has improved in this department?
Are the screen colors more accurate than the One X? The One X skewed a bit too yellowish/orange and overly warm for my tastes. Also, has the reflections lessened? The GSIII had little to no reflections compared to the One X. What about contrast with the brightness set low? I wasn't really impressed with the One X's contrast when set to low brightness for nighttime or indoor usage.
Is this a Verizon only thing? Because it is kind of lame for people like me who buy GSM phones that can be used on either AT&T or T-mobile. Maybe there's a sim slot and its a world phone? Probably not...
Thanks for looking!
Please can you shed some light on improvements in camera department if any !
Thanks in advance
Does it come unlocked so that I can buy it outright and use it with a different carrier?
Do you know anything about an upcoming international version?

I would say the HTC 4.x is very lite. If you had the rezound or the SIII you should know about Scott's CleanRoms. To me Sense on the DNA is about as lite as CleanRom on the Rezound. I had no heating issues at all and I tested the phone hard last weekend when I was in Phoenix (4G). I love the SIII it's a great phone (the radio sucks but that's a Samsung thing) but hands down the DNA wins. The DNA is just fastest from the start, when I power on both phones (I did Odin back to stock) the DNA boot time is way faster. Apps, games and web searching the DNA is faster (I used my WiFi at home). The Rezound had bad framework support for global use if I remember right. Not 100% sure about global unlock sim with DNA and I have asked HTC about this for someone that asked the same question.

This is the part of the DNA I dislike, I asked over and over why only 16GB. When I first got the phone I forgot to check storage and had installed about 10 apps. When I did check I was around 11.5GB of phone storage. I have the Nexus 7 and it only has 16gb of storage. What I did is went out and got a micro USB flash drive cord. From what I have read from HTC Elevate site, the feedback is the same questions you all have. Why not sell the phone 16GB for $199 and a 32GB for $249. I can see down the road HTC comes out with a 32GB phone.

Objectively? The DNA is going to be haunted by the same design decisions HTC made for the One XL and to a degree the Teg3 One X.
Battery - It's 11% larger than the XL's on AT&T. But it's pushing a gazillion pixels, powering four cores instead of two, and is running on CDMA which drains more battery when the signal's marginal. So at best I'd expect the DNA to be no better than equal to the One XL's battery life which is a well known and much discussed drawback with the biggest sore point being the relatively short amount of display on time available. It's one of the reason's the One X+ exists and now, with less workload, it has a 4% larger battery than the DNA and a 14% larger battery than the OG One X's.
Storage - It's an issue. Especially for people that travel and/or roam that don't have access to the cloud. It's also an issue even for people that do have access to the cloud via LTE unless they are on a grand-fathered unlimited plan. 11GB of user accessible storage isn't even enough for a single 1080P MKV feature-length DVD-rip. Everyone on the AT&T XL forum were sure they could live with it during the euphoria of its launch. Many of them couldn't and are now SGS3 owners. Since the One X+ couldn't be redesigned cost effectively HTC bumped storage to 64GB to better compete with the SGS3's ability to use up to a 64GB microSD on the entry-level 16GB version. The J-Butterfly re-introduced external storage for HTC and I'd expect to see it on the global version. Why it was removed from the DNA is curious.
Display - Breathtaking. Industry-leading. Awesome. The same was said about the One X's displays when they launched. But in the end, a phenomenal display couldn't overcome the above issues and sent HTC back to the drawing board.
So in the end, it's kind of like a repeat of a previously seen movie. Maybe because VZW's so huge the outcome will be different. Time will tell.

I'm also coming from a blunderbolt. Surprisingly enough I had it from launch day and I only had the one. Never needed to get it replaced. The DNA is incredible. The vibe while typing is much less pro ounces on this phone. I hated the vibrate on touch with the bolt but with the DNA I actually like it.

I have to agree thats my one gripe so far. I actually am very comfortable with the volume control, but the power is a bit annoying to me.
Had mine since 9am this morning and really love it.
So much better than my Rezound.

The power button on my EVO lte is very easy to press,I find that shoving it in my pocket could easily turn the screen on by accidentally pressing the power. So I actually wouldnt mind a flushed away power button.

I went to Verizon to play around with it and I'm not overly impressed. After the screen it felt like a regular phone to me; nothing special. Youtube videos even looked bad if their in low def. I may be biased here but try the Note 2. When I was playing with it I did not want to put it down. That phone destroys my Nexus. Watching YouTube and browsing the Internet at the same time is special to behold and the s-pen is in a class by itself.

Whats is your current device?
I agree. I can't wait to get rid of the bloat though.
The slim profile is amazing, the screen resolution is even better. The quad cores also fly even with all the "extras".
All you Thunderbolt owners don't have anything on me. I am coming from the DROID X that I got on release day. I hope they get this S-Off soon, I don't want another repeat like my X.
I am so used to Swiftkey, and had to load that over the stock keyboard right away. Next step is to change to the smallest key size, the keyboard looks bigger than my PC keyboard on this screen.

Hello all,
I recently sold my GS3.
Now considering this one. Should I go for it ??
Any issues with this phone ?? Plz reply & expecting honesh replies.
Thanks.
Well I'm using this phone now since January, and I'm totally satisfied with it. There is just one thing I don't like, that is the temperature while playing heavy games but the devs here on xda made a kernel which improved the temperature dramatically.
I would recommend this phone or the new htc one to you
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
It depends on what you plan to use it for. It gets pretty hot when playing HD video and the camera isn't great, just average to good. If you plan on installing your own Android ROM, maybe the heat issues will be solved. Read the thread containing my previous posts for more info about these issues.
There are a lot of phones being launched right now (check out androidos.in if you're in India), so it also depends on what you like about the upcoming flagships. Personally, I don't think I will be able to see the increased pixel density from the S4 or HTC One 1080p displays, especially since those phones are $100+ more off-contract, so I chose to pick up the HOX+ a couple weeks ago. I am still considering returning it though, as I'm not sure the camera is good enough for my use and I got the internal temperature up to 60 degrees C after playing a bunch of videos, others have gotten it higher!
We can't tell you if you should go for it without knowing what you'd use it for. It has issues, just like any other phone, so it depends on whether its strengths match up with your needs.
I got my HOX+ in January 2013.
The phone stunned me since the first time boot.
It's smooth, fast and always running for me.
I never got problems with this phone.
Pro's:
-All important audio formats, even .WAV
-Great Sound
-Bright HD Display with top contrast (720*1280)
-Long battery life (better with a custom rom but also good @ Stock)
-Good phone quality
-Nothing happens, if it falls down.
Neutral:
-Loudspeaker (Sometimes it gets some crackling noises and it sounds like a can but hey, it's a loudspeaker not a hifi speaker)
Con's:
-Camera
-Play while charge let the phone sweat.
This is my own opinion.
If I forgot something, I'll edit my post.

So its approximately 550$. Dude you could get better phone than both the One X+ and the Optimus G for that price. Try swappa.com and see if a buyer is willing to hip internationally. You may be able to buy an HTC One, an S4 or something else.

honestly ill sacrifice removable battery for waterproofness
lots of companies make extended battery cases that can be used if the battery doesnt fare well
BUT it should be expected to not have a removable battery on an HTC device now days, all their phones are built unibody
Luckily enough I'm not a clumsy person but I do give my note hell sometimes

I'm freaking out man! Definitely getting this or the note 3. s dragon 800 is looking mighty tasty. If the HTC has an SD card I'm kind of leaning that way. My logical side tells me my i717 running carbon/ uber is more than fine for anything i do. But I like new shiny stuff so #$%# logic.
Non removable batteries can be shaped anyway they want. That's why the Z Ultra is so thin. As for the HTC I like the Speakers and the Screen size. But the triluminous on the Z Ultra is part of Sony's 4k technology and thats nice. I just don't like the door hatches to the ports and it may be to big for my pocket. As for Note 3 all I've heard was Snapdragon 800, 2.5 GB ram, and a new design format but I think its going to look like a bigger S4. We'll find out in Sept for the Unpack Event.

What do you use it for? Just curious. I have a Note 1, Wife has a note 2, my mom has a Note 2, and if you combined the amount of time we've all used the stylus, you'd have about 4 seconds worth of time between the three of us. It's always seemed to us as a really inconvenient way to do what you can do with your finger.

It might be true that the average user doesn't use the SPen, but its also true that most people don't spend the time it takes to learn how to use it right. It's extraordinarily efficient to use with the gestures and handwriting-to- text. Just try using S Note with your finger. You'll get much better results with the S Pen haha.
Most think of drawling when it comes to the Note...but performance, screen size, and screen quality have always been the major attraction for all users with the Note.
The Note 3 is shaping up to be a monster of a device, and I find it unlikely that the major players will release anything close to it in the near future. HTC already made their move this year, Motorola doesn't seem to make high end phones anymore, and LG just doesn't have the mind share or reputation (although they may be a bit more deserving since the latest Optimus/Nexus combo release).

Are you kidding? Plastic rectangles were hott almost 3 years ago.
Anyways, I think that 99.999% of the geeks I know wouldn't buy a Sony unless the other companies stopped making smart phones. The latest round is impressive. But I need a bit more encouragement that Sony has truly changed before I get anywhere near any of their products. The Xperia line ruined it for me.
Things are starting to look up for them, and LG though.

To be honest I wasn't familiar with the Ultra Z. That's sexy too, imo. And I couldn't care less about a snapdragon 800, or even a 600. I game on my device for maybe 30 seconds at a time -- that's what consoles and my HTPC are for -- so I really only need a processor capable of running baconreader and Chrome.
And, fair enough with the spen. I've never bothered learning what it could do, which is why I asked. Your reply almost makes me debate putting a samsung ROM back on just so I can play with it for once.

sounds like there is no need for you to upgrade other than getting an upgrade.I do most my gaming on a pc also. with faster SOC comes more capabilities. Windows xp is insanely fast on a P4 2gb of ram and a SSD. But you cant run dx11 on it. Like any upgrade .. you are going to be able to do stupid things faster. Sooner rather than later the smart phone will be your main processing device. You will just hook it up do all sorts of accessories(tv,gamepads,VR headsets etc etc) This just totally turned into a small rant. I by no means dont think you already now this. I'l move on now...Rant over.
Oh definitely not, and definitely to the rest. I don't need an upgrade due to need of faster stuff; however, marketing is a *****, and I know I'll bite the bullet sooner or later. To be honest, the only thing I'm truly wanting, when I take out the "the new stuff is flashy" factor, is better battery life. Sporting a 5200mah battery just to hang with the Wife's note 2 is ridiculous. It makes me wonder what one of those 9000mah batteries could do on her Note 2.

He he. I was a bit burnt by the time I posted that...spent all day fixing S3's. A small business client if mine likes to root his devices, and when he couldn't copy and paste due to a stock sprint software bug, he decided to wipe them. Finding instructions to do so on a random thread here. Needless to say, they wouldn't boot....because a wipe isn't what he thought it was.
And although the Ultra Z could be a bit more ergonomic...I suppose its just the sharp corners and the über-bad build quality, and update/support history of the Xperia line (x10 and pre-x10 days) that has haunted me and so many of my friends that makes me feel yucky even looking at it. I haven't gotten a chance to hold the Z Ultra, but assuming the build quality is good (it likely feels solid, judging from the dimensions and slimness alone), the only thing that dissuades me is...again, the corners, which makes the phone look like its a couple years old already. I'd really love to play around with one though.
At one point I was looking at their tablets, but again, square corners make your spankin' new device look like it's an AARP founding member, and aren't very forgiving on the hands.
I still maintain that the screen, and internals are what makes the Note a compelling device, but the Z Ultra isnt a slouch.
I do like the buttons....
I'll be sticking with my Note until I see what the Note 3 has to offer. I'll decide then between the Note 3 or S4 (is the Snapdragon 800 S4 coming to the US?), mainly because I know what I'm getting, and, I'm a fan of the over-saturated AMOLED displays.

whatevs.. when I was rocking the htc evo (original) people asked was it an iphone...
Everyone who sees it seems to want one.
It is a remarkable phone. I am asked about it several times a day and it is quite a pleasure to demonstrate it occasionally. II have never had a negative response from anyone who sees it or plays with it briefly. I think that a "tablet phone" is what makes sense for virtually anyone who relies on using the internet for their work (or has become dependent on it for conducting their personal business). I simply don't have to carry my laptop or my larger tablet with me anywhere. If "word of mouth" works to spread the news about a product, my experience with people asking about my HTC One Max is an indicator that the product (or others like it) will be quite successful.
Once we get the Kit Kat upgrade and I have the full featured, redesigned Quick Office (with spreadsheet editing capacity and other features), I will truly have my office capacities with me at all times. I think this phone sets the standard which others will follow.
lack of recognition can be a good thing sometimes..it keeps a lot of the idiots out of these threads...:angel:
I'm still on the fence about this lovely device. I do wonder if the original note had similar reception.

I am used to pulling out a phone and have someone ask a question about it almost every single time, so it doesn't bother me. I used to have a Hitachi G1000, and it was the same size, only thicker. I just tell them that this is HTC's answer to the note. Then, when I tell them that there was a Samsung phone in the store (Galaxy Mega) even bigger than this, I usually get a chuckle.
One of this phone's strengths is on its premium sound/speaker. HTC should spend more effort on enriching its self advertising, I.e fancy/attractive ringtones and notification tones, out of the box.
Its amazing sound has attracted many people.

I actually had mine up until the one max. Sprint's one up program requires you to give up your old phone at the start. I asked the lady "Any phone?" She said yes, but technically not really. I told her thanks for the yes, and I'd be back. I drove home and pulled out my G. I know it understood. It was time. I even had the charging cradle for that thing. Nothing worse than playing fast and loose with the battery life and having a factory reset happen due to no power...
It's really mind blowing that htc doesn't advertise, and that's why they are getting beat. Samsung and Apple are advertised in just about every kind of media. It's sad because their phones are one of the best, or the the best out. Instead they're getting their asses handed to them.

It is unbelieveable, why this amazing one max has no recognition.
If you were the ceo and you knew your product strength is on sound quality, then what will you do?
Will you just relying on your customer to download those too many options of media content in the google store?
Or you will introduce your brand image, by showing and educating customer (teasing competition), "see and hear, this is the sound of a high end phablet supposed to be".

I was just using ringtones as a example
And i dont buy a phone based of clarity, clarity usually means softer in volume unfortunately
But how am i suppose to think the htc max has better sound then the galaxy based of a video with standard speakers , so the video is showing the phones playing sounds through a soeaker, thus is being recorded through another speaker, to me that dont show anything or do either phone justice imo... Im gonna go to sprint and mess with both in person and see which one is better over all phone, not just based on sound / media / whatever else
If max has a clearer sound but is softer in volume then the galaxy how am i suppose to hear it ringing in my pocket? Again ill just wait and see
Both these phone's absolutely have PROS and CONS
One con for max is it has a closed off battery cant get a extended battery
One con for galaxy now have the knox system and can no longer delete binary counts after flashing
And im sure theres more but ill save those opinions, for the right thread and after i went and messed with all the high end devices
Kinda wish htc would push more devices out each like samsung does give more choices for their brand

If everyone watched the commercial below they would all buy a One Max

Its like how white is your white.
whiter shade of white?
If all people test their phone speaker quality by watching this video,
stream it in HD,
full screen (horizontal)
place screen about 25 cm in front of their face.
After they play it with htc one max, then they will start comparing,
not only among phones, but any other speakers from headphones to their home sound system.
Try it with a demo smartphone in your phone retailer.

And I have Influenced Quite a Lot of People over the Years with the Tech that I have without even trying to go out of My way to do just that.
I guess that in some Aspects, I'm one of the "JONES'S" that People want to keep up with.
can you imagine how popular this phone would be if HTC actually ran a tv commercial for it?
I have never seen a single magazine/tv commercial for the one max, so "mainstream" people have no clue what so ever about its existence..
