[Q] Buy One X or wait for new Nexus? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I currently have an AT&T iPhone 4S that I got a couple months ago, around April. Previously I had the HTC Inspire 4G, and while I loved Android, the phone had a tiny battery and got no signal so I switched back to iOS. I was very involved in rooting and custom ROM's and everything, so that's not an issue. My mom has an upgrade available, and she wants to have my iPhone 4S (she has the 4, and doesnt want the 5). She's allowed me to use her upgrade to get a new phone, as I'm going to give her mine. I want to jump back onto Android because I love Jelly Bean and the new MIUI and CM10 ROMs. I'm kindof in a bind now, because since i just spent 300$ on my iPhone a couple months ago, my parents don't want me spending another 200$ for the Galaxy S3. The One X is only 99$ right now, but I like AOSP a lot better, Sense is alright, but not as nice as vanilla Android. I understand that I could just flash CM10, but I'm not sure if I should wait for the new Nexus which is apparently coming out in December. I also want a phone with a removable battery, so that's an issue with the One X, as it only has a 1800 mah battery. Should I wait until the new Nexus comes out, and will the S3 drop down in price? Or should I just pick up the one X? Thank you very much.

First of all, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
And second, if you really like rooting and modding and whatnot, the AT &T One X (One XL)is unrootable from its latest updates. And since you would be buying it new, it should be on one of its last few updates. So avoid that for now.
However the Gnexus is getting stale, so youre best bet is to wait

If u like mod and roms, should buy hix tegra 3, if u use your phone for facebook buy next nexus

HIGHLY recommend the Galaxy SIII, my dad has it, and I'm extremely jealous. Smoother than iOS if you ask me.

thanks! yeah thats what ive heard, im pretty much after smoothness and responsivenes...on my inspire, gingerbread was so slow, and even ics didnt run too well on it. I left for iOS because of the smoothness, but the galaxy s3 seems damn smooth to me!

Rooting the phone is always worth it
In my opinion its the best phone on the market and the toms are ok now great like 4th bar sense I like a lot xborader and other are working on a very slow moving aosp ics but its the only aosp we have and but its all sense roms also bulletproof and energy are nice

Once you root make sure to install faux's kernel, its a significant battery booster!!

Hi mysticfrog and welcome bro!
Yes, The screen of the Amaze 4g is larger but not emolated (amolated?) and I've had no problems at all with Gingerbread nor with HTC Sense 3.0
The bloatware is there on this phone.
If you root your phone, it voids the warrantee btw.
The Amaze 4G IS slated for the ICS 4.0 upgrade & HTC Sence 3.5/3.6 probably in march. If not then your guess is as good as mine.
Insofar as ROM's are concerned, I don't know. As around.
Finally, You might want to reconsider this phone, as Google wants phone developers to come out with phones that don't have physical buttons!
ICS and Jellybean, I presume, are on phone which have physical buttons but the new Google phone only has on-screen buttons like the Iphone.
If I were you and I could wait till later on this year, I'd wait man.

WEll i can play with this one for 20 days.. from the specs it seemed like the phone to get.. i appreciate the input bro.. im just kinda bored with the sgs4g.. but having said that the devs over there are pretty awsome.. i just wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want a galaxy s 2..
I put NRG's ROM on to it. It is really nice, smooth and has many useful features!
If you wanna buy accessories, I'd recommend buying an Anker battery, a TPU case (i bought one for $3 on eBay), car charger and you should be good to go!
Alright guys I've got the amaze.. Im at work at the moment.. I just got one last question..
is the development of this phone going to slowly increase? Cause i do believe t mobile is the only one that has a phone of this juncture..
I've read ALOT on these posts were ALOT of people are not happy with the development.. Im not trying to get flamed for this question im just wanting to be with this product for the long haul and im just wanting to make certain that i made the right decision.. I've read the reviews all weekend so i do like the phone from that perspective.. Im just wondering about the development aspect of it all.. I just don't want to get it and then see devs leave for another product.. Basically how is the future development looking for this phone.. Thanks all.. Rooting this phone looks pretty easy btw.. I do like that...

If you're a crack flasher, then this device is not for you. I don't think development will pick up much at all... However, I say its the best device also. I don't need heavy development. NRGZ28 made a beautiful and EXTREMELY stable ROM called Energy. It's got all I could need.
Most people are salty about the device because they can't get s off so developers are backing out. We have 4-5 ROM developers, but the nrg ROM is the only one that's as stable as stock imho (but I haven't tried OneGoodROM or Bulletproof since the 2.3.2 update. A lot has changed since that release though.
If you're looking to flash a new ROM each week, then you will not like the device and you may have an addiction. If you're looking for a phone that has a few very stable ROMs to choose from, this is the device for you

[Q] ICS?

I know we don't have any ICS kernel sources yet but do you think we will get ICS before this August?
I thought I read somewhere that we were getting it in the next month or two. I would assume we would have a good working ICS port at the least in the next month or two. Can't speak for the devs here, but I thought that's what we were looking at. As for when ATT will push it out, that could be forever...I hate how long they take, but oh well.

Having used ICS on the captivate, it truly is an update worth switching devices for. However, I'm pretty happy with the I777 so I will just wait. Android updates that were actually really good: Froyo, Honeycomb, and ICS. The rest were just hyped too damn much and gingerbread is the worst of all of them (imho).
Wow. Use the sticky thread.

For one, it's not just ICS when Jellybean comes out, you're going to get it much quicker than anyone else. And also, it's the purest form of the Android version minus any bloatware each manufacturer puts on the phone, which can be either a pro or a con, but overall, the bloatware has been a con in the past.
IMO, Gingerbread was a very good update, Froyo didn't seem that special when I finally got it for my S7. The biggest improvement was non-broken radio firmware, which had nothing to do with Android version.
Gingerbread had significant power management improvements.

I love and appreciate all the work that the Devs have done for our phone, but if we don't get ICS soon I will be leaving this phone. A lot of my friends have phones with ICS roms and it is such a improvement over GB. I don't understand how one and two year old phones have ICS and Samsung won't allow us to have it. It is ridiculous.

What the hell is your problem? Name one phone other than the Nexus line that has received ICS officially.
HTC hasn't released any updates yet.
Motorola hasn't released any updates yet.
Sony has only released betas (I applaud them for putting out prereleases)
Asus has only pushed it to one tablet (easier to port HC tablets due to HC being a newer codebase and not having to deal with the RIL) and that was an utter disaster
So far, my experience with ICS is that it's not an improvement over Gingerbread. I haven't been able to see any significant positive improvement - some parts of the UI are a bit shinier, but the gapps user interface is clunker than it was in GB. ICS has some good improvements on tablets, but for phones - not so nice.

First of all I said that I APPRECIATE the devs!!!! And I never said that the roms were official. Almost all HTC and LG phones have ICS roms. I left t-mobile with the htc sensation and believe me that phone runs 300% better now that it is running ICS. And by the way Entropy it is no disrespect to any dev by what I said, I am rocking your Kernel right now (Excellent job). I am pissed at Samsung and them only. Our phone is supposed to be a flagship phone so what the hell is the holdup?
If you can't wait then just go get the G Nexus. These questions have been brought up and beaten to death. Just don't be surprised when Ics finally drops for our device and our Roms are superior than most. GS2 surely has the hardware to run prety much anything smoothly and dev community is strong here

Goodbye Rezound *or* Anyone want to buy my Rezound?

Not without a lot of debate, I have decided to move on from the Rezound. I just wanted to drop a quick note to the community thanking everyone for their help and to our devs that did such great work with the ICS leaks and Sense 4 development!
This was the first android phone that I unlocked and it's been a lot of fun. Now don't flame me, but after getting the Nexus 7 I realized how much I prefer stock Google... so I've traded in for the GNex. It's a little too big, and the radio is kinda weak, but I'm ok with the trade offs.
If anyone is in the market, I have a sweet Rezound package on ebay.
All the best everyone!
Too bad you're leaving.. since HTC released the ics kernel source there are some pretty nice AOSP("stock Google") Roms out right now.. still have a few small kinks but they're being ironed out as we speak =)

to be honest you cant compare the nexus experience with rezound because the nexus aosp experience is so much smoother and bug free you cant go wrong with it, only phone that i can actually say keeps up with the nexus in aosp is the sgs3

I am with you!
My next phone will be a nexus purchased directly from Google to get updates directly from Google and always have the latest android os. I am generally pleased with stock rooted.
This will require giving up Verizon's network. If tmobile data isn't good, then perhaps will carry a Verizon jetpack.
I still have over a year left on my Verizon contract, so you are ahead of me.

[Q] Tossing up between an S3 a One X and a Nexus

I can't decide between an S3 a One X or a Nexus, the Nexus is great I love the idea behind it but the specs are too outdated, and a new nexus is just around the corner. The One X is nice, nice screen nice specs, but not completely open (Romming is VERY important to me), the S3 is a beast, massive screen, totally awesome, but how "hackable" is it, I remember reading about some developer raging at the exoynos chipset?. So I'm just wondering, do the roms all work 100% or are there missing drivers and all that crap that we android fanatics hate. And is the romming process nice and easy, root, install cwm, flash roms (From what I've read yes it is like that). S3 owners, please chime in, I need to make a decision by tonight.

Exynos source is bring released so the s3 is obviously the best option in terms of romming and with exynos sources due to be released they can only get better

If roms are very important to you get the new Lgnex. There's no phone like a Nex. If you like Aosp, go Nex. I have a Gnex, GS3 and a N7 and I will be selling my S3 to grab LGnex soon as its available! If you like tw or sense then go w/ others but they will never have the amount of aosp roms that a Nex has. (Kernels too) You ever own a Nexus you will get confused as to what to flash. You also have a device compatible w/ the Android Sdk , fastboot, adb which are not available on any other device and make things much easier and 100% safe. I like my S3 but im Nexus all the way!!:thumbup:

If you are holding your breath on AOSP don't. Might want to consider returning if you don't like sense. I'm contemplating it too and switching to AT&T and picking up a Nexus 4. I don't think anyone is even working on AOSP for this phone now. If it does appear it will be months from now.

Man this is really disappointing... I love HTC and the quality of they're phones especially the DNA. But seems like the cons just keep growing. The video lag, missing apps in the market, 16gb storage and the possibility of no aosp for months.... Not sure if ill be keeping the device

Really a shame. Why can't Android users get the best hardware AND the best software on ONE device? The DNA is currently the best hardware available for Android. AOSP on it would make it the best device all together. What a shame.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but how exactly do you know. We all knew what we were getting into when we bought the device. Just gotta be patient that's all. If s-off does indeed come from sality within the month, then this device would be making great strides in development. From there we would need the RIL to be cracked, but it takes time. If you don't see any huge development by the first week of January, return your device. As long as you bought the phone after Nov 22 you can return it to Verizon by January 15th. Just my input.

2 Questions:
1) What about this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 Won't that get you to the point where you can try one of the ROMs that has been released in the Dev forums here?
2) Why January 15th? Is that a holiday special? Isn't it normally 2 weeks? If I bought my DNA on the 21st, what are the chances I could get them to honor this promotion? Since I only missed it by a day.
Once the devs work things out with the s-on and RIL problem this phone will really be a beast.
As far as the video problem, I'm sure it'll be worked out as more phones get 1080hd displays. Same with games and apps.

You must first unlock your device's bootloader in order to root. Once that is all completed then yes.... And in response to your second question, yes the return period is a holiday special. Chances of getting the promotion honored is doubtful, honestly. You could always return the device, pay the restocking fee, and buy the phone again elsewhere, which would then fit with the promotion. That's assuming if you bought it off contact.
If this phone ends up anything like the Rezound did, sell it now, return it, etc.
It took months and months and months and countless issues and still development is dead.

My only other choices are the Raze HD or S3.

If You really want Aosp with no issues Verizon you should leave.

Except for the fact that the DNA is a great phone that ranks up with the best right out of the box. The Rezound is/was not.
The rezound had the best screen, best audio, best processor, best camera when it came out. Lol . Nice try though.

I don't understand when people say this...Sure AOSP is nice to run every once in a while, but honestly I don't see what makes it better than sense..they do the exact same thing, they just look different! There's not even the argument that it runs faster anymore as the DNA has such good internals that it could run any os without a problem.

But it still isn't as "smooth" as aosp for a lot of people. Even then, aosp brings forth a whole bunch of mods, tweaks,themes, etc.
