Just wish all that applied to the ATT version.

How do they counter the fact that HTC WIFI doesn't automatically connect most of the time unless you fight it?

**calvin35** · 06-07-2012, 02:26 PM

0 multitasking = not better than most new android phones. It may be faster by a little bit but it doesn't do android better.

Why don't you into an Att store and ask how many have been returned?

I wonder if the GS3 will rock the multitasking - 2 GB RAM...

Have you done that or already know the answer?

I'll ask when I go get a case for my SG3. I'll tell you this though, in just about every thread I read, someone is talking about returning their HOX. I'm not sure if that was sarcasm from you or not.....

They both have their pros and cons. I would say the majority are opinionated, some are fact. But I think the sgs3 has the edge over the AT&T One X overall. Don't forget that's my opinion.

I agree and my HOX might be on eBay I am thinking of pre ordering I just hope Samsung fixed that volume issue the gnex had and music sounds good on the hox If the g3 sounds good then I'm in.

As much as I love the design of the HOX, I pre-ordered a SGS3. Hoping I'll have a better experience with it.

Never trading in my One X after seeing how much worse the GS3's screen is in person. There are already AOSP roms avalible for the one X, fixing multitasking, and you can buy a 5 dollar 1 and 1/2 inch cable that goes in the usb that you can plug up to a 64 gig stick in for when you're on an airplane or something. For me the screen is the #1 factor.

Absolutely,

The HOX screen is simply just much much better!

The screen is what we all stare at all day, it's by far its main feature.

I wouldn't pick up a different device with very similar specs if it had a poor screen, the screen is and always will be the deciding factor.

Screen was a big reason I didn't like my Maxx.

My thoughts exactly. My buddy has an International One X, and recently bought an International S3. I've looked at and it's legitimately worse. After only a few days he's talking about reselling the S3.

Me: I want a removable battery

HTC: You don't want a removable battery, you want a bulky external battery bank.

Me: your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me HTC.

I'm on Att and I don't have an unlimited data plan. I use my phone for EVERYTHING. I need as much storage as possible. Kind of upset that we won't be getting a 32gb version of the SG3. I have almost 11gb of music and I love the option of having all of it available to with without using my data to access it. Then there's battery. I've been carrying a spare battery since the G1. I will admit, the HOX screen is beautiful and even better than the SG3 but people make it sound like the SG3 screen is like a Startac (I know, I'm showing my age). It comes down to personal preference as we all know. I just don't like the way HTC put this out there. If anything, they are pointing out some of their bad points. That phone as too many limitations for me

**icebike** · 06-08-2012, 11:26 AM

You can have the 64 gig version of the SGS3 if you want. Just have to buy it outright for HSPA/UMTS version. Try Negri Electronics.

Exactly what's the process of using a 64 gig card with the One-X? That's
the only thing I think the GS3 has over the X the extra storage.

**jontalk** · 06-08-2012, 01:00 PM

I agree with Phil.. I think this blog comparison would best be done with an ATT version rather than the international. But in the end, it's an individual choice like anything in Life. Thank God we all don't like the same things!

Flash a Rom with a kernel that enables the device to function as a USB host (there's two right now) and plug in a USB OTG mini-cable to the microusb. You can then connect a memory stick, an external harddrive or whatever you want. So small you could easily keep it in your pocket and not even notice it at all.

There's several external batteries available about the same size or smaller than the S3s battery. I personally use a micro-solar charger instead of my external battery because I hate trying to remember to always charge the dang thing.

Sniff sniff, you smell that? I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

After 9 million pre-sales of the S3, I'd be desperate as well. Has htc even sold half that number of x's?

And before all of you jump on me and my post, I happen to like the x, my son has an international one and I think it's quite a good phone, bunt it's obvious that it's not the big seller that htc was counting on and it's pretty obvios that this "countering objections" is pr spin and nothing else.
