Bought a Tegra 3 HTC One X

[Necrolezbeast]

Since i bought it in China from a black market store i immediately checked authenticity and it verified. When I went home i rooted and through on a custom Rom.. WOW! this thing flies! So much better than the old hd2 which had the digitizer die just before a vacation...

cliffs: hd2 died, replaced with tegra 3 one x and couldn't be happier!

isnt that generally regarded as the best cellphone you can buy right now?

Pretty much unanimously yes

I played with both and they're both nice.. but there is too much variation in all of the SGS3 models that it was impossible to figure out which one they had... Also build quality seemed quite abit higher with the One X. Anyway I paid 2700rmb for it, but it didn't include the beats earphones, which was probably sold somewhere else to subsidize the cost a little... I wasn't unaware of that though, I confirmed it before purchase... Wasn't a bad deal considering amazon.cn sells the Chinese model for 4000rmb

Can you get Jellybean running on it yet?

2700 rmb is about $380? Does it work in the states?

 

[tvdang7]

where do you live? and what carrier?

 

[Necrolezbeast]

I live in Ningbo, China and use China Mobile.. I'm not sure about the GSM frequency at the moment, but since its the international version from Europe it shouldn't be too hard to find out about T-Mobile or ATT 3g compatibility.

if its an international one it will work fine on t-mobile 2G and AT&T 3G.

It probably will work with AT&T's UTMS 3G, but not T-Mobile USA's AWS 3G (T-Mobile UK/EU has different 3G band, and the Intl Ver will probably work with it)

I have been using an international HTC One X for a couple days now on ATT(works with 3G and "4g"). I sold my iPhone 4 in anticipation of the iPhone 5 coming out. I just started doing android development(was and will continue to do iOS dev too) at work so I am using a test phone as my daily phone.

This is probably the best android phone I have ever used. I used a samsung captivate for a couple months because I dropped my original iPhone 4 in a lake. I didn't think android was polished enough.

This phone is pretty fast, not really any lag that I can see. In fact it seems to preform better than the SG3 that we have (also an international model). I am using the stock 4.0.4 rom w/ HTC 4.1

We could argue for a while about the merits of android, but in terms of hardware, things I don't like:

1)I miss having a dedicated mute switch.
2)I actually don't care for the notification LED, its distracting when watching movies and such
3)Most of the time when I palm the phone, I can't press the lock button to unlock/lock the screen with one hand. I guess my hands are too small, because its awkward to try and reach it.
4) I wish the USB port was on the bottom
5) Not a fan of rear speakers on phones
