Hey yall I was wondering if any of you guys happened to be running T-Mobile on an international One X+ like I am. I just got the phone and I am loving it so far.
But I was wondering if there were any suggestions as to which ROM's (AT&T vs International) play the nicest with T-Mobile??
And yes, my area is fully refarmed to the 1900 frequency so I do get T-Mobile 3G

If you are on an international phone you need international roms. You will most likely be plugging in your APN's manually though. Roms are not carrier specific they are hardware specific. If your device is the non at&t LTE version then it sounds like you should use international. This is going off of your limited information.

Alright thanks. I didn't realize that the international and AT&T ROMs were not compatible with each phone (On the One S you could flash an international ROM on a T-Mobile model probably because of lack of LTE etc. )
I'm a T-Mobile user currently with and iPhone 5 and a Nexus 4 and I can't get rid of one of these fast enough to get the HTC One X+ although I'll be buying the at&t version at full price, which is about a $100 cheaper than the international version and it comes with 64gb standard, not sure about the International version, I also can't stand those red accents
I'm hoping to use a One X+ on T-Mobile, but I'm waiting a bit for prices to come down. I'd also like to get a Telus/Canadian version (which is the same at the AT&T version, I believe, minus the AT&T bloatware and branding). I haven't figured out a way to get one yet though (there are lots' of AT&T ones on eBay, etc.).

Just curious why you prefer the One X+ over the Nexus 4. That's the other phone I've considered (as an upgrade from my now aging Nexus One). My main concerns about the Nexus 4 are the limited storage space, the fragile glass back, not the best battery life, and the so-so camera. I also just like the design of the One X+ more. My concerns about the One X+ are that it uses a previous generation CPU and has less RAM.

The Nexus 4 has better specs, hands down. But inferior optics and design, functionally and aesthetically. The glass back is bound to break and the design is unremarkable. The One X+ definitely will be last gen after CES, but I can live with it for year.

The Nexus 4 has a better cpu and gpu and more RAM, but I think that's about the only specs that are better than the One X+. Am I missing something?
As you note the One X+ has better optics. It also has far more storage (64 GB vs 16 GB). And I've read a lot of reviews saying it has the best screen out there (except now for the DNA), but definitely better than the Nexus 4 (although it's very good too). The One X+ I think is also supposed to have better sound quality. And, as I mentioned, it seems to have better battery life in tests.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. Obviously the cpu is a major important component, even if there are other specs where the One X+ is better. I tend to keep my phones longer than a year, so I want it to be good enough to be a little bit future proof.
On the other hand, I was just reading about leaks for the HTC M7 that will replace the One X+ in the spring, with a 1080p 4.7" screen (468 dpi!), other improvements to the screen quality, a S4 pro quad-core cpu, 2 GB RAM, improvements to the camera opitcs, and a 2300 Mha battery. So that is going to quickly make the One X+ last generation, as you say. Of course, if it's announced in the spring, there will be the inevitable delays before it's released, and then waiting for the price to come down, it will probably be the end of the year before I could get one anyway, so I don't know that it's worth waiting for. But it's hard to know that it's out there on the horizon. I just hope it has a good design (I don't really like what HTC did with the DNA).

I would go with the Nexus 4 if I as you. But your biggest issues would be the storage and the glass back. The camera is wayyy better the the Nexus One's. I've owned every Nexus, and it's camera is right under the Galaxy S III's and the iPhone 5's. I don't understand why LG couldn't use the same optics, but the phone is definitely for you if cost and longevity are issues for you. The processor is definitely better than the Tegra 3, but I'll probably only have it for a year. The longest I've owned a single phone was about 10 months.

Yeah that was my first option but I couldn't find an unlocked AT&T one and apparently they refuse to unlock it. I got my international HOX+ for a very good price though haha so I'm happy.

So I'm switching to T-Mo hopefully within a couple of weeks, and I really like the S3 and the One S. I like the S3 more, but I don't know if it's worth the extra $130. Opinions?
The SGS3 is for sure worth it. Fantastic phone!!

If you're cost conscious, get the Galaxy Nexus for $350 from Play with t-mobile's $30/month, 100 minute 5GB prepaid plan (supplementing the 100 minutes with a google voice caller like groove ip). Over the course of two years, the lower plan cost would save you approximately $1000 (assuming that you would've otherwise gotten an $80 plan, not unrealistic including taxes).
Why the Galaxy Nexus? Because it's pentaband. Unfortunately the unlocked versions of the S3 and One X don't support t-mobile's frequencies as far as I know. You could buy the t-mobile version up front, but you'll eat an extra $300 that way for a phone that won't even work with any other carriers if you change your mind. You'd still save $700ish, but it's hardly ideal.

I own a One S and have used an S3. My opinion is that the S3 is only superior in its display. Speed-wise, the S3 and One S are neck and neck. Some tests even show the One S beating out the S3.
At the speeds these phones are at, you won't notice a difference in the overall experience between the 2. However, most people tend to get the S3, since it's the newer phone and has the nicer screen. I personally chose the One S since its screen is only 4.3 inches, which makes it much more comfortable to hold.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Both have good mod support and plenty of ROMs that range from modded stock ROMs, all the way to CM10/AOKP/AOSP roms.

I'm waiting for the Two hah
Seriously though non-expandable memory kinda kills it for me on the One S and reading the display isn't as sharp as the s3 is a deal breaker for me. One S with non-removable battery cover? Sealed? Ugh what a nightmare..
my answer is different.
if you have big hands or like touchwiz, then use gs3, BUT if you don't have that big of hands(me), or like sense 4(me), then use one s as that is smaller
and even though gs3 has removable storage, it still cannot be used as ext. so all the people you hear saying that sd card is good, I have just shot down half their aurgument
so if you buy an 8 gig galaxy s 3, you actually have less storage space than a one s as you 64 gb SD card is useless except for games and movies
so recap: if you has big hands then get galaxy s 3, if you has small hands get one s
or be me and wait for htc one x+

an external sd can also be used as swap partition serving as more ram. you can also install your apps on the sd card instead of internal memory. s3 is probably the best phone out there so far.
S3!!! HTC uses cheap material, i had the HTC G2 and thats my last!
So I'm planning on selling my att one x (hoping to get around 300-350 since its almost like new) to buy a one x+. The guy is asking 450 for it (its on craigslist), and I want to know if that's a modest price. I feel it is, since the one x and one x plus are now $200 apart on a new contract from att. The HOX+ is like new, so the condition definitely isn't an issue. Any thoughts/concerns I should look for? Thanks
p.s: I didn't know wether this should go in Q&A or General since its not a question about how to operate the phone, so I put it here. Hope its all right

X+ is still pretty new on the market and if you really want one, I would say that's a good deal for being in perfect condition and 100$ less than off contract, plus taxes...

awesome
mind if i ask a few more questions...?
first, will the screen protector (the guy already has a case that comes with it) i have for my AT&T One X fit the X+? i hear it should, but just wanna check.
and second... the AT&T models and int'l One X+ models are the same (aside from looking different on the outside), right? that's why there's only one forum for the X+ and separate ones for the int'l and AT&T One X's?
thanks so much
Screen protectors and "most" cases fit just perfect between the two!
But international and att versions are two different devices because of LTE radios in att, so be careful, choose only roms that have att/telus in their titles!

I think that it's for a S4 like phone that's set to launch in Europe. Reason being they did the same thing with the note 2 and galaxy mega. However contrary to this point the mega had much lower specs than the Note 2.
Given that it's an S4 that still retails for 200$ I'm convinced that Samsung did this in the interest of sales.
This might be an S4 variant that retails for 300$+ under a different name.

It's real, but only being released in South Korea, so no one anywhere else should worry. This is because of the LTE-Advanced capabilities which currently only exist in South Korea
Real or vaporwear, I wouldn't worry about it. us Verizon folks will never see it on our network.

Probably the most accurate perspective, considering Verizon is in milking mode strategy with a mid device level offering and 16gb only option for the S4. Such a device would compromise their strategy. Other carriers probably will offer it in the US, just like 32gb S4 and the recent LG Pro.
The new 800 is not just a new LTE radio only, but the same radio versatility of the 600 with better fabrication process and much faster performance. We will not notice an LTE difference, but will notice "cooler" running 4g and much faster device performance.
pretty depressing that we won't ever see the 32gb s4
There is still a sliver of chance in late July, but by then we might hear more about 800 devices. HTC, LG and Samsung have already mentioned they will have devices with the chipset by Q4.

I'm not surprised if Verizon is going with the "milking mode", but I feel Verizon's device strategy to be archaic.
It almost seem like Verizon is afraid that the customers will get confused if there are 2 equally good devices out at the same time. Perhaps this is why we don't have the HTC One yet.
Back when I was on T-Mobile, I would buy, then sell phones every few month. Simply because there are a ton of great phones to choose from. Now on Verizon, I change phones like once a year, not because I can't afford it, but because there's simply a lack of pones to choose from. Although, it all works out, since I need the money to pay the huge phone bill!
Unless there are massive power savings, i am not horribly bothered (got mine Sunday). The 600 is more than blowing me away with its power compared to my rezound.
Lets face it, when it comes to technology, there is ALWAYS something better right on the horizon. We face this every day, be it with phones, tvs, or computers. If you enjoy what you have, and it does what you need, i wouldn't dwell too much on what you might be "missing out" on..
True dat.

Yes, the GS4 is clearly the best phone on Verizon right now, but if you want to wait, there will be a lot of new phones coming out later this year.
The GS4 and HTC One are both rumored to get an incremental update from the Snapdragon 600 to the 800 chip.
Also, a Verizon-branded version of the HTC One will be coming in late Summer or early fall.
There's also the Moto X and the rumored Nexus 5 that will be coming out in the Fall, so theres a lot to look forward to.
edit: Also the Note III is rumored to come out sometime this year as well, if you're into phablets
Take a look at the Note 2. It's not as advanced as s4, but you can hardly find someone who isn't happy with the note 2 and there are tons of companies about s4. I'm also looking forward to upgrade but note 2 won't let me go for s4. It also has better life than s4. Afterwords, I'm not trying to say that s4 is a bad smartphone though.

My brother is eager to buy my Rezound off me, and I'm mulling over what to get to replace it. Ultimately I think I'm waiting it out until the One is out on Verizon and has a decent secondhand market; I've had nothing but good experiences with HTCs, so I see no reason to jump to Samsungs.

Is the HTC One suppose to be better than the S4? And the one coming to Verizon, do ya'll know if it will be the 600 or the 800 chip? Is there a huge difference in the two chips? I played with the S4 for a few minutes in Best Buy today. It's so smooth and during quadrant gets consistent 60 fps in almost all the tests but the last one. I know quadrant doesn't mean much, just an example. I couldn't imagine it being much faster. lol. I like the Note, but its pretty big. Is there a lot of bad with the S4 vs One?

Its all speculation at this point, but yea the 800 chip does offer slightly better performance. Some people have speculated that the VZ version of the HTC Once will have the 800 chip but we can't know for sure.
I upgraded to S4, it is better than the Rezound in every way except for the screen, I personally hate that blue tint on Super AMOLED screen, but I definitely think S4 is superior phone.
I personally can't stand the screen or the cheap plastic of the Galaxy S phones. The One is coming to VZW sooner than later if you want to stay with them. Given the delay VZW put on getting the One, I'll probably jump ship once the One+ with the Snapdragon 800 or the One Max phablet hits the other carriers this fall.

I was wondering, what would be the best phone to upgrade to from a Virgin Mobile HTC EVO 3D/V?
preferably from VM or Boost. which phone would be the best to get (value-per-money wise)?
im not really going to upgrade anytime soon, but i'm making plans to do so in about a year.
so far im looking into:
HTC Desire 601
HTC One SV
ZTE Supreme
LG Optimus F7
i'm mainly looking into for something with decent specs and community support. LTE is important, since i live in an area where 3G sucks, no 4G, but there's LTE all over. budget-wise, not willing to spend more than $250 since i paid $270 for my 3VO just to see its price drop it like its hot afterwards. some of the phones listed are over the budged stated, but remember i'm talking a year in the future. also, which other devices do you expect to see arrive to VM/Boost in the coming year?
None of them.
Currently in the same situation. The only logical clear cut upgrade would be the Galaxy S3.
Those phones lack in some area compared to the 3d in some areas be it type of display/resolution, development wise, and build quality. The galaxy S3 would be the only phone to give you a FULL upgrade in all areas compared to the EVO 3d.
1. 1280x720 AMOLED display
2. HUGE development community due to it being 99.9% similar to the sprint version
3. LTE
4. 4.8 inch screen
5. 2 gigs of ram
For the future maybe you can hope they put the LG optimus G(nexus 4 sister) for $250 sometime next year?
The zte supreme is a great phone only issue is development issues. Its been rooted but not much else. I believe there is a version of cwm available for it.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
i agree with Kippui. i took a closer look to all of them, specs, reviews, development, accessories, everything. i considered the ZTE Supreme until i found out the problems people are having with the display backlight, and its poor development. then fell down to HTC Desire 601, but i realized its really not much of an upgrade. i was gonna stick to it anyways, because of my limited budget. but i see the S3 got a price cut, plus i almost forgot i can get it off HSN without having to shell out the $300+ at the moment.
i consider anything more powerful than an S3 to be overkill IMO. so yeah, maybe S3 and flash Cyanogenmod or something.
