Anyone NOT happy with their choice?

I sometimes joke and say for customization on my iPhone all I can do is change the wallpaper and make ?folders" of applications. I miss that when I don't use my Android device. You don't have to hack your device to add and change all these features with Android. Ok there's things you don't like. There's always something not to like. Pros and cons to all devices. You just have to get what works for you. If that's the iPhone so be it. I don't like how the iPhone can't get the latest and greatest data speeds with LTE and I have been getting them with Android for over 1 year now. And my iPhone never will be able to get it even after its spread even more because it does not have the hardware for it. Maybe the next model will. So I can't change and add all kinds of features and can't get those faster HSPA+ (iPhone 4S Category 10, versus One X and Category 14) let alone LTE's blazing data speeds. I could go on about how iOS needs to step it up but there's no point. To each there own.

The new iPhone coming this fall will have LTE. Hopefully Apple's implementation of it will result in better battery life than my One X gets on LTE.

To the people whose phones are acting weird and crashing you need to understand that's not normal. You have either a bad app or a bad phone. Phones just don't crash and freeze for no reason. There is always a reason for it that's why you can get a new one and it wont do that. Remember these are mass produced and so are the parts inside. As to the apps not looking as nice as IOS that's because that all the iPhone has is nice apps. I would rather have ok looking apps and have a phone that is not boring. Ive had the iPhone and i don't like anything about. Now to the screen the super LCD screen is better then the super amoled screen. I have the gnex sitting next to my HOX and the LCD screen is better. The colors are more accurate and the color white is actually white. So as you can see im very satisfied with my phone. I dont have a single issue with mine ive not had a reboot, frozen screen or any kind of lag. Maybe i got a good one. At the same time maybe some of the issues you are haveing f will get fiixed with an update. The att phone had only been out sinse May 6 give some time to be fixed . I just want people to think about this phone a little more and give it some time. People talk about getting the sg3 and dont understand that that phone will have issues as well, like bad radios.

When i got my gnex people where talking about the random reboots and the loss of data and even the power botton being on the side and they were complaining all day about it but they kept the phone. 6 months later its finnaly getting and update well within the next few days anyway. People with this HOX dont like where the power button is at and they take the phone back. No visual voice mail and they take the phone back. I know that is horrible that you just might have to listen to a message. I've read to many threads where people are just giving up and returning the phone for yes stupid reasons . Now the multitasking thing i can understand. I dont mean to be rude to anyone but really guys is this phone so bad. I've had worse phones then this and kept them and when updates came out and fixed most of the issues the phone was a good phone. Just maybe dont be so picky. But then again i can negate all of this by saying if it doesnt do what you want it to do like you want it to do then its no good. Just something to think about.

Who are you to tell people not to be picky? That's why we have choices and return periods. You're right, random reboots and crashing isnt normal, yet has never happend on my iphone? Funny. Fact is, if something isn't working for someone they have the ability to make a switch. Android is great for what it is, but it is NOT the most stable OS, and "boring" ios is subjective. I respect your opinion, but some people like the stability of ios, and some people like the customization of android. It's all opinion

I am mostly satisfied with my One X, but am a bit disappointed with the battery life. Also, I find that in LTE areas where for one reason or another a connection to the Internet can't be established, my One X won't revert to HSPA+, but just keeps trying and failing to communicate using LTE. Hopefully, ATT will get a software fix for this issue.

With a way smaller screen I would so.

Hopefully that gets fixed for you. I have not had that problem. Not yet at least.

You are aware it's already been shown that apps crash more with iOS than Android? If you didn't know that you more than likely will think its a lie. Either way it can be looked up.

I have a way more easier/enjoyable time playing games on Android devices over the iPhone. My latest Android devices have had displays bigger than 3.5". Playing a game that needs two thumbs on the iPhone's 3.5" screen is not the easiest thing for me. I don't even have big hands but my thumbs take up valuable space on such a small screen. These smartphones can play some amazing looking games, the latest Android devices make it easier with the screens bigger than 3.5". But as I said before. Pros and cons to all.

I hear what you are saying, but I've been an ios user since the 3g and don't have apps ever crash on me. I'm not saying some don't, or don't for other people. I've tried several android phones over the years as I've really wanted to like it(OG Droid, Evo, Droid X, Skyrocket, and now HOX) and none of them gave me the stability. Sense crashed on me, Spotify crashed on me, and many other little glitches.

Now if we are talking hardware, its no contest. Much nicer hardware on many phones vs the iphone. The hardware is 99 percent of the reason I've ventured into Android land. I have found Android games to not be nearly as refined as the ios ones. The same game side by side, and the ios version has always been more smooth(even something as small as temple run). At the end of the day I completely respect those that find Android to work for them, it's great for a lot of things. I think it will continue to innovate and get better as well.

I enjoy both for different reasons.

I had a similar discussion about the games compared with someone else. I must say I will way past Temple Run in quality and say Modern Combat 3 for example. You can take the latest iPhone and even that does not offer a better or smoother version over the One X. I compared both at the same spots since someone said the iPhone version was better. Part of it is the One X and it's bigger display but I liked and say it plays Modern Combat 3 better (If I have to pick one). There was no issue with lag with either. Both look great. But the great graphics on the 4.7" display won me over the 3.5" display.
ShadowGun, another great and amazing looking game. Riptide. More high-quality games. Let alone if you get the Tegra versions. Without doubt the Tegra versions with Tegra devices win. The way the extra detail shows on the Android with Tegra and cant show on the iOS versions.They even win over the iPad so theres no chance with iPhone. In short, I had a no problem in the game department.
Each OS and device will have its strengths and weaknesses. I love the hardware on Android too but it's the Galaxy Nexus that spoiled me. It is not the most powerful device but the way I can easily and without hassle root and flash all those butter smooth ROM's is something I enjoy. Smooth, polished, no lag or force closes, all those I get with my Galaxy Nexus. But so far, the One X is a great replacement.

If your not happy you really should return it. It would suck to continue to use a device your not happy with. I enjoy my iPhone too. I know somethings are nicer on it.
I'm having a tough time deciding if I want to continue with the One X or wait for the GS3.
