I ordered my AT&T HTC One X+ yesterday. It is still getting processed for shipment. Has anybody who ordered yesterday gotten already a shipment notification?

Good then I don't feel so bad. I still hope that it arrives at my house tomorrow.
Just got my shipment notice. Will have the HOX+ in my hands tomorrow. Curious about the LTE on that device and the battery live.

Mine shipped too, although they didnt send me a conformation email I had to go on the website to check the order status.
Mine still says processing. Shipping to eastern Mass. I hope they get their act together today. "Processing" is about the least useful update they could throw out there.

I got the confirmation email 12 hours later.
Don't think anyone will actually receive it til the 16th when it is actually released which is why i saw no reason for a pre-order. Just called my local ATT store and they haven't even received shipment yet and they are a major branch. They said first thing tomorrow they will have them in (could be lying and already have them though now). Just going to my store when they open tomorrow and pick it up in person so i can physically check it for defects such as the screen and camera lens alignment before walking out of the store. Something you can't do in the mailbox and if you have a shipped defected phone then have to go to the ATT store anyways to switch out.
Of course we won't know until tomorrow if there is ATT version defected phones but been seeing a lot on here for the Intl version so best to check people.

Sure. I have to pick it up at the FedEx station because they couldn't drop it off at home:crying:. But I will give my first impressions ASAP. Have a GNEX with 4.2 at the moment so I am ready for a shock of sense

I'm guessing you installed the CWM from the One X+ forums here? That was for the Int'l (non-LTE) One X+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995763
Just got my AT&T HOX+. Just first impressions. Very nice phone but I came from the GNex that was completely ugly plastic. The screen is gorgeous. Loudspeaker is great. Battery I cant say anything yet too early for it. I have a bit light bleed from the screen and I can see a bit of the light of the buttons between the glass and the shell. Nothing so bad that I would return it. The vibration is very strong. So strong that it makes this weird rattling noise. I think I had that already on my MT4G. LTE is fast in San Diego in comp. to HSPA+. I get download speeds of 10Mbps in comparison to 0.5 to max 3 Mbps on HSPA. I had no wifi problem so far. Had some issues with the HTC "multitasking" and two-step-activation because it never went back to the site i had to put the pin in after switching between key generator and web browser. The web browser is fast and still has Flash. I thought after ICS there won't be Flash anymore so it was a nice surprise. Let's hope now for JB 4.2 soon and that this nice phone won't be a niche product. I am afraid that HTC releases the HOX ++ in February
BTW the amount of bloatware is obnoxious and nothing can be removed.
Additions: Bluetooth with beats audio sounds great in my car. Much better than the sounds that came out of my GNex. The screen on auto-brightness is really bright. I have to get used to it. I have some problems to press power and volume rocker. They are flush with the shell and difficult to feel.

Thanks for the update. I'll be sure to check the small defects you pointed out when i pick this device up in store so i can switch it out on the spot if needed and kind of see how often these small defects pop up from HTC, damn their quality control! I called 5 different ATT stores within 10 miles of my house last night and not 1 had this device in stock yet! A few stores the employees were like what phone? You mean the One X? Lol, didn't even know what i was talking about, freakin people never cease to amaze me. They all said they get their shipments in around 10-11am today so hopefully i can find a store to run to on my lunch break from work and get this puppy setup while im at work so when i get home it's all fun and games!
Bloatware, haven't seen that in years but remember how nasty it was. Good thing this bad boy has 64gb of memory so not like its hurting us all that much and i'm sure in a week or so we'll have full Root and what not so no issues after that .
How's the gaming on it? When you first setup your device, how do you get your music from iTunes to this device? I have all my contacts synced to google and yahoo mail so that shouldn't be an issue but have like 320 songs i gotta load on this bad boy some how for the gym. Let us know how it goes bro, thanks!

Good luck that you get one of these nice devices today in your hands.
If you boot up the first time you get first a splash screen from AT&T to setup the phone. Cancel that and setup your Google account first. Not sure why AT&T did that but I was afraid that it then syncronizes everything to AT&T instead of Google.
iTunes? I am an Apple-free household I have just my mp3 collection and Google play music. I uploaded all my private music in the cloud at Google play and normally buy music from Google and Amazon. I never became used to using iTunes. Horrible program in my opinion.
Gaming? Haven't tested it yet. Not a big phone gamer. For gaming I have my PS3

I would sign up for google music (free), and install the google music sync to your computer with itunes. It will upload all your music and playlists to the google cloud and be available to your phone through google music. If you want it local, there is an option for it to download the music to your phone and allow use by any music app. Keep in mind any DRM protected music will not be uploaded.

First of all, I will start by mentioning that this is my third Touch Pro from Sprint and I just want to confirm something before I take back to the store.
Is there anyone else who updated to the newest official firmware and have problems with your video playback from your albums. I had some videos stored from my old phone on a sd, and when I try to play it on this phone, it would cause a lot of jagging, freezes, audio playing while video is not. I then recorded a video with the camcorder and when I went to play back, it did the same thing. The settings I have it in is in
-CIF 352x288
-MPEG4
If its the phone, then I'm glad because I can go get myself the Touch Pro 2 at the store for free.
Things to note,
-had no problem like this on the 2nd phone
-upgraded the firmware as soon as I got home with this phone
-been like this for a while, just never cared to get an answer until now
Any feedback to a similar problem or non-exsisting problem would be greatly appreciated.
Look, if your ultimate goal is to get a free TP2, then just tell them that the phone gets unholy hot or some defect from the phone itself (battery lasting less than half a day with moderate use, etc). Believe me that the TP from Sprint has a bunch of those... If you start going by software, believe me that they will find a way to either fix it or convince you that it can be fixed with an update...
were you getting a free tp2 due to these issues?? Because im having the same issues as well including that my battery gets extremely hot and will not charge

I'm curious about this myself. I was gonna get a Hero in a couple of months when my contract is up, but if I get a TP2, I might hold out for a little while.
There is a list somewhere that after a certain date, if your phone is with in the manufacture warranty of 1 year, and you have insurance of both types with sprint, you can switch out the phone to a list of 10 other phones, the TP2 and the hero being among those.
Still a sure answer on this would be great. Thanks egz on some insight. And gxt, you mean you are having problems with video playback too?
So I think I'll be going to the sprint store tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how it goes, unless I don't go that is.

to answer my own question...
http://slumz.boxden.com/f244/sprint-now-replacing-touch-pro-touch-pro-2-a-1295800/
im going to give this a shot.
Hello everybody(insert simpsons joke here), it looks like i finally went to the sprint store. After what seems like a lifetime ago, i told them the problems I had, they said they would do a hard reset, and to come back in an hour. An hour and a half later and I will be getting mnyself a touch pro 2 soon. Now the only bad part is that i need to call this store to find out when they would have any touch pro 2's in their warehouses. So at least for now, I am assed out, oh and forgive me if this comes off as bad grammer, I am typing this from my touch pro 1, the screen is too small.
As today is he official launch in the UK... who picked up already his device and what are the first impressions?
As said in my Q thread, I picked it up yesterday (despite most stores saying they couldn't sell it yet). I was the second person to get one from the big Phones4U in Leeds.
After palying with it all afternoon Yesterday and most of this morning (yeah I should be working!), I love it. It's soooo silky smooth. All my favourite games run perfectly, I've even tried the N64 emulator and it ran effortlessly.
The only niggles I have:
- There's no longer NFC (would have been nice to be future-proofed on that, even though I couldn't use it right now anyway)
- I miss my notification light, but obviously not enough to stop me buying this beast
- It doesn't have the shiny music player from the original Galaxy S
- The clock widgets don't bring up the alarm when you press them
- Oh and my apps didn't download when I synched my Google account, so I had a fun time last night manually putting them all back on.
As you can see, trivial stuff that isn't really important.
Ask me anything, I'll try and answer as often as I can, but I do need to get some work done (if I can find the motivation and pull myself away from this phone!)
Oh, one final thing. A quick battery comparison - My Desire HD, at this time of the morning (after I've been playing music and on the internet via 3G/H), would be down to around 50%. This is currently on 70% and I've been playing with it all morning. Just an initial observation, but a positive one.
your thoughts about the weight and the feel of the phone (esp. the back cover)?
I'm amazed at the weight, it feels like a dummy phone (compared to my DHD and old N1).
The build is nice and sturdy for a plastic phone, but the back cover is very thin - I'm scared I'll snap it every time I remove it. Fortunately I shouldn't need to go back in there now that I've stuck my SD in

will it work on ATT frequencies?
Did they lock down 850/1900 so American customers cannot use it?
when you press down on the back cover of the phone..did it creek or seems like its pressing down on pressure..making it feel like its a little loose/flimsy?
also did the phone run hot while using it for sometime?

They are saying in the future the NFC antenna will be in your sim card and there will be software in the phone that can link to that, so dont be too disheartened, you may get it after all, but just not how you expected

Can You run Tegra2-Games?
No creaking on the back cover, it's nice and tight. I can probably see it starting to give over time though.
How do I check Tegra2- specific games (or where can I find one, still don't know if we have Exynos or Tegra) and how do I tell if the US bands are available?
P.s. thanks Jupiter

Hi, congrats on your purchase! I had two brief questions.. can the dock be modified on the homescreen (can you choose which apps go on it), and some photos from other reviews it seemed like people got chargers with EU plugs, did yours come with a UK one? These aren't really pressing issues but I'm just interested really.

Got mine bright and early 9am! None of the stores in my area even knew they had it in stock. The rep I spoke to didn't even know specs, I had to teach him about the phone! lol
I have no less than 5 stores within a 10 mile radius to choose from, and the one closest to me said they have 5-6 in stock right now, so I'm hoping to God they have one left by the time I get out of work at 5:30! Otherwise I'll be calling around and crossing my fingers. I think I'll be safe though, doesn't seem to be a hugely advertised phone and from what I'm reading has been kind of on the DL, so hopefully A) Monday is a slow cell sales day and B) they don't have a ton of people looking for one. We shall see!
I sold my Charge and picked this up this morning. I'm very impressed with the screen over the Bionic!! I hated the blurring and motion issues of the Motorla's crappy screen. I'm very excited to start playing some HD movies and see how they look!

Exactly. Verzion has been promoting the sh*t out of the Razr and still is. Even on their website the good for nothing Razr takes the top slot, the Rezound is off in the backslides and that slide doesn't even say that it was released yet, it just says "more info" and you have to click to see the price and that it is in fact available for pickup.

there were 2 other people there for unrelated reasons
I got mine!
Just picked mine up at VZW. I called a few days ago and had them hold one until lunch time, just in case. What I can say about it so far:
Holy smudgy fingerprints Batman! They're all over the place. Maybe the VZW girl just had oily fingers: I don't know but the entire screen was hazy when I got to my car.
When did new phones become $299 instead of $199? My total price including early upgrade fee was $288. I got some kind of discount, but still really expensive.
Was concerned about size since I'm coming from an Incredible. My DInc has a silicone case so the actual size difference isn't that bad.
Fast. Wow, it's so fast that even using it takes a gentle touch. Much more sensitive than my DInc.
No idea about the 4g service yet. Haven't run any speed tests yet, but expect ~10 or 11 Mbps on 4g.
Just say no to the up-sell.
Comes with some kind of "you have to buy our micro-USB cable" that has little rails on the bottom I couldn't get a regular one to fit, maybe I didn't try enough.
Comes with a really neat Beats Audio/Monster(?) coin purse to put the headphones in.
The store didn't have may accessories on hand. Not likely that I'd buy any from them (maybe except the special USB cable) anyway but would have been nice to compare prices/selection.
The notification bar is well done. It has two panes. One for regular notifications. Another has recent apps, data usage, and some other cool stuff.

do you know if all the stuff for the EU Galaxy Note is compatible with our US version?
I'm wondering because I have a htc hd2 and we used to have two forums , one for the TMO US hd2 and one for the EU Leo/hd2 and they ended up getting merged when xda got redesigned last time since they were practically the same phone, and I think apart from the EU version having a 3 button layout in front where the home button is a hard button and two capacitive on the sides , both phones hardware are the same, so I assume all the stuff for the EU phone will be compatible with ours.....ohhh can't wait, my wife knows the att rep at the store I went to and he let me play with one that he had gotten for himself just today and I already love it!!!! Gonna be at the att store right when they open tomorrow.
I have been using ICS since last november and even though I'll be going back to gingerbread, it will be fun to work our way back into ICS.

I'm wondering because I have a htc hd2 and we used to have two forums , one for the TMO US hd2 and one for the EU Leo/hd2 and they ended up getting merged when xda got redesigned last time since they were practically the same phone, and I think apart from the EU version having a 3 button layout in front where the home button is a hard button and two capacitive on the sides , both phones hardware are the same, so I assume all the stuff for the EU phone will be compatible with ours.....ohhh can't wait, my wife knows the att rep at the store I went to and he let me play with one that he had gotten for himself just today and I already love it!!!! Gonna be at the att store right when they open tomorrow.
I have been using ICS since last november and even though I'll be going back to gingerbread, it will be fun to work our way back into ICS.
ANDROID FTW...YES!!!

On the outside it appears that most cases, chargers and docks are the same. Inside it's quite different. The processor appears to be the biggest and makes all of the ROM's incompatible. I think there are enough differences that they will never merge the forums. I'm sure we'll have an ICS ROM before long for our phone. And I agree Android FTW!
I too am getting the Note. Any more females out there ?? I have the Infuse now which i have just had the best time with. This time will be defferent.. I am getting mine when released as opposed to two months later. I am excited also to see we have ROOT. YIPPY..NEW TOY

Thank you!! hahha good luck with the sleep....A friend told me that to set it up you have to go to ATT and sign up and create a password and set up phone online then sync>>?? I find that very odd and and what does that mean exactly after flashing a ROM and needing to set up??

Yeah I was at the store today talking to the guy and he was telling me all this stuff about it like I was clueless about android and the phone, he also told me about setting it up, but all I'm doing is show up at 11am when AT&T opens, transfer my old phone number from TMO and bounce out of that sucka! I hope they'll have accessories like screen protectors and cases available, so I can grab some. Now off to sleep and when I get up I'll be getting mine.

slip over to the "international" version of the Samsung GT-N7000 Note forum once in a while. Just be careful of the ROM section...NONE will work on the at&t version, but the other areas might have a few good tips/tricks.
I've had mine about 3 months, coming from a Dell Streak, so the size wasn't a big WOW for me, but, the clear BRIGHT screen and speed of the processor was.
I stopped into a corporate store today, asked the sales drone at the door if they had the note, (around 3pm) she said over 2 dozen had already asked for it, but they wouldn't display it til Sunday. Asked if they had the accessories yet, they did, so I bought a home dock & black speck case.
When I bought it, the drone cashier asked if I was getting a Note Sunday, told him nope, got mine 3 months ago from Amazon. I didn't tell him that I didn't want to give up my grandfathered unlimited, or that I've been off contract about 3 months and didn't want to sign up for another one.

This is true to a point, there is an app that comes up when you first turn the phone on called AT&T Ready2Go. It supposedly helps you setup the phone using the computer. I got mine on friday, so I have a bit of experience with this. I personally just backed out of the app and set the phone up just like you normally would, so its about as easy as possible.

An added benefit of the "international" version is the greater development of ROMs and usually an earlier release of ICS.
What sold me on the AT&T version was the LTE. Even in a 3G area any LTE phone will be faster than any non LTE phone. I have both the Skyrocket and the Samsung Galaxy SII. Side by side I receive completely different data speeds. The Skyrocket will get up 18mb down on HSPA+ while the Galaxy SII will top out at 7 or 8mb on HSPA+
Also LTE will be going up in my area in the near future and I take advantage of it when I travel to the bay area for business.

Yep, I just cancelled the program and set it up manually like always I've been playing with mine and love it! Stock speed is awesome, picked up a candyshell case by speck and a screen protector, not sure if I like the screen protector, is the anti finger print / glare but in my opinion it losses a slight amount of crispness on the screen colors, but I might get used to it, definitely a beast of a device.

Should never have cancelled my play order >< still haven't got my refund so can't order another from Amazon and theyre going fast on there ><
What I get for wanting a different color ffs
Got mine today! My first order was 26th, I cancelled on 2nd to try and order from Mobilefun, then re-ordered again from Google the same day. It still shipped on the 4th and it was delivered today. I'm quite impressed that I didn't lose my place in the queue
Mine shipped at 10AM today Pretty sure I'll have it by the time I'm back from work tomorrow can't wait! How's everyone finding there's so far?
Got mine this evening, the Parcelforce shipping was not fantastic but got there in the end, had to pick up from a local post office as I missed the initial delivery (note to self, get all future orders sent to work.) Though the watch had been here in London for three days before they got it over to me.
The watch itself is very impressive, literally 'road tested' the navigation on my bicycle tonight, OK, it opens the maps app fully on the phone and the screen is on (even when in your pocket, but you can power that down.) So some tweaks needed, but to be fair, got me home...as a car user. They also need to tweak the 'mode of transport' option. But overall it's great being able to get travel directions on your wrist (one of the reasons I bought the G watch actually) so that ticks a box.
I love the currency conversion, language translation features, "OK Google, convert £100 into mexican pesos", "OK Google translate 'hello world' into German" etc, works like a charm.
Some nice apps that I installed after doing some checks online
Calculator:
(Look it up on Google, I am not allowed to post links , search for "Google Wear Calculator")
Duolingo (This will give you a small 'Flash Card' language game on your wrist...awesome really )
Since it works with notifications, you can obviously change tracks on Spotify etc. Yet to test it with Netflix when paired with Chromecast, looking forward to that
This presents the opportunity to use some of the phone functions while the phone is charging up and you are watching TV for example.
Overall, love the device, comfortable on the wrist, beautiful, easy to use, well worth the money for the Navigation, Translation and Currency/Unit etc conversion features alone.
Some small (intermittent issues) with Bluetooth disconnection but the connection quickly returns, not a major obstruction but a quiet annoyance.
I am sure that Google will iron the bugs out over time and also that 3rd party devs will start to wear enable their apps. This device is easily worth the money
got mine about an hour ago and so far so good
needs more watchfaces hopefully someone will get to making some awesome gaming themed custom ones also any idea how I get the weather card back? swiped it away and can't seem to get it back lol

Just use "ok Google" and ask about weather. It will add it back.

Tried that card doesn't stay
Turning your wrist doesnt seem to activate the screen very often either atm

Make sure your wrist is perpendicular to the floor and facing you, the watch knows which was is 'up', takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's simple.
