I've got an HTC One X, you have questions ... FIRE AWAY!

[Denashi]

A few questions I have:

1. Can you put applications in folders on the app drawer menu?

Yes

2. Can you re-arrange the applications in the app drawer menu by dragging them to arrange however you want?

No, there is the option to sort them alphabetically or according to installation-date (newest to oldest or vice versa).

3. How is the native HTC browser? Did you download any 3rd party apps to replace the browser such as Opera?

It's ok, it needs a bit of tweaking though.

4. Are the black and white versions of the X One made of the same materials? Do both colors have the same build quality and feel the same?

Don't know as I've only used the white one.

5. Have you noticed the phone heating up at all when using it? Does the back get hot at all?

As with most smartphones it can get very hot, especially around the camera, it hasn't been a problem performance-wise on my phone yet, though.

6. When holding the phone, and pressing around the phones hardware, do you hear any creeks, cracks, or odd noises that make the device feel cheap?

Not at all, it feels extremely solid! No creaking or cracking noises whatsoever.

6 ii. If you press down on the screen do you hear sort of a cracking noise? Does it feel cheap?

Again, nope.

The last two questions I have because my Sensation had hardware issues, and since then, I've been iffy about how good the hardware is on HTC products.

Well, it's a brand new device and as with all other new devices it does have a few issues, though I don't believe it's the hardware, that's to blame, so much as the software and firmware and that seems to be fixable (hopefully they'll send out an OTA update soon!).


Thank you.

What issues have you experienced exactly with the software? Sense related?

 

[Denashi]

Yes, I believe it has to do with Sense... it tends to load for a while sometimes after exiting an app. I'm currently using ADW Launcher and it doesn't seem to have this particular problem.

Thanks for taking/answering everyone's questions Phil. It looks like the Rogers version here in Canada will be the same as the AT&T in the States, however, it's available for pre-order here already. Does that mean us here in the Great White North will get the X goodness before the US?

1) I want to see what the NA X can do re: battery power, processor power/capabilities etc instead of seeing all the reviews of the European model. In my opinion, any information about battery and processor power is irrelevant because of the dual vs quad core differences.

3) I'm trying find some reviews on the NA X, but can't find any, do you know of any?

2) Also, I'm concerned with what LTE will do to battery life.

What's your take on this?

Thanks.

Can't speak to what LTE's gonna do to battery until I get to use it, but so far I've been nothing but impressed.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Phil what do think about the flex or the video?

I think it's bull . Just don't twist your phone in a stupid way and it won't do that.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Is it the best phone you've ever used ??

It's right up there.

Any bad points about sense or the phone overall ??

Only a few small niggles. I miss being able to long-press an app from the app drawer and go right to the app info to clear cache. (But that's a small thing.)

How's the battery life ??

Excellent.

How's it feel when typing in landscape is it too big ??

Same as a GNex. And, yes, it's big.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

A lot of this is answered in our Sense 4 Guide. But here you go.

A few questions I have:

1. Can you put applications in folders on the app drawer menu?

Yes.

2. Can you re-arrange the applications in the app drawer menu by dragging them to arrange however you want?

Yes.

3. How is the native HTC browser? Did you download any 3rd party apps to replace the browser such as Opera?

It's very good. Better than the stock ICS browser. And, yes, you can install other browsers, just like on any other Android phone.

4. Are the black and white versions of the X One made of the same materials? Do both colors have the same build quality and feel the same?

They're the same in every way.

5. Have you noticed the phone heating up at all when using it? Does the back get hot at all?

We covered this in our One X review, but, yes. It can get hot, depending on what it's chewing on.

6. When holding the phone, and pressing around the phones hardware, do you hear any creeks, cracks, or odd noises that make the device feel cheap?

None at all.

6 ii. If you press down on the screen do you hear sort of a cracking noise? Does it feel cheap?

Again, none at all.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Does the HTC One X support Google Wallet?

The official install of Wallet doesn't work on my Euro One X. Haven't tried one of the (cough) other versions of it.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Hopefully the AT&T version actually enables the nfc out of the box unlike the galaxy phones.

Good lord. I didn't think of that. Seriously, AT&T. Don't screw that one up.

Verizon?

 

[G_The_One]

Two questions from me:

1. How may tabs are supported by the browser? The max?

2. Which colour variant is better to have, considering this will be for two years? White or Grey?

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Two questions from me:

1. How may tabs are supported by the browser? The max?

Going to commit the sin of answering a question with a question: Why not use the Chrome beta?

2. Which colour variant is better to have, considering this will be for two years? White or Grey?

lol. No way to answer that after just a few weeks.

 

[carp00r85]

How are speeds with the unlocked version on at&t in the states?

 

[x2beach]

IS the Call Quailty better the the HTC Vivid ?

 

[xonex]

Two questions from me:

1. How may tabs are supported by the browser? The max?

2. Which colour variant is better to have, considering this will be for two years? White or Grey?

Stock browser allows 6 tabs Max.
I have played with both and I think the grey will look better with age but I'm coming from a white iPhone and a white gs2 so i could just be bored of the white.

I know Google Voice has this, but I was wondering if the phone came with visual voice mail out of the box?

Thank you

phil, I have a Samsung s 2 skyrocket for att, I want to know is handling the the phone much worse then handling a 4.5 inch phone. Still trying to do some research to see if it may to much to handle.

It is almost the same size...it about 3/16th longer and is virtually the same width.

I have found the HTC Titan the closest in size. Go to your local ATT store and feel that one.
