Hello??? I'll post more in a bit.
Im getting one soon!! How do you like it so far?
Got mine today, too. Love it so far! Feels and looks great and it's lightning fast. I can share wifi at no extra charge and it is really fun to use. I don't really need anything from XDA right now so I will wait a week and come back to share my experience and possibly promote the phone if I feels it's worthy.
... now to find a freakin' case!
I am here always

The device itself is awesome. The screen is beautiful. Windows Phone is still meh. So many little things that are still missing despite Mango. Things that were in 6.5. Microsoft really pisses me off.

What is missing that you want?

This is a great phone. Nice to have Office without purchasing a third party app. OneNote syncing is great. Looking forward to testing SharePoint integration. I am very impressed with the battery life so far. Charged it up Thursday night and unplugged it before going to bed. It's noon on Saturday and I still have about 1/5 of a charge. The only thing lacking right now is app support. Hopefully the platform will pick up a bit and start getting dev attention. IMO, this really the sweet spot between Android and iOS.

Off the top of my head
Turn a text message number into a contact easily
Turn an email address into a contact easily
Dial numbers get a list of names!!!
Real turn by turn NAV
Not sure if this was in 6.5 - device encryption of data
Probably more I've been drinking.
Why can't I push the wifi icon at the top and be taken to the wifi list of access points?

There is free app calls Connectivity Shortcuts and you can download on Marketplace for free then pin that app on your desktop
getting mine in next 2 days..
I am a MS developer and was using Android (SGS) since last 2 years and still love it.
I will be using this phone for App development.
So if any you guys want any specific app do let me know..will develop and put it here or marketplace...
There is an app called network dashboard that lets you pin the WiFi options to a live tile, but other than that luckily almost everytime you pull ot your phone and there isn't a known network in range it will give you a toast notification.

HTC Radar and $5.99 T Zones
Just killed my Touch Pro 2 today and saw a decent deal posted over on slickdeals =
I just ordered a HTC Radar for free ($18 activation and 2yr extension) as an existing t-mob cutomer (out of contract) via Microsoft WP store " phones.microsoftstore.CCOOMM " and I am hoping that I will be able to continue using my $5.99 T Zones. While ordering the phone, the menus allow you to choose to keep your existing plan and also keep your existing data, soooo,, we'll see!
Any info/help or experience regarding this would be appreciated - I will definitely post an update with my results. Cheers!
Possibly returning mine
I took some night photos of a couple of people. The flash obliterates the photo. All you see is a white glare. Anyone else have this issue?

Are you placing your finger anywhere near the flash or lens by accident? In my experience, that is generally the cause for what you are describing.
Just got my htc radar from MS store; love the screen quality havnt try out the voice n camera yet... One annoying thing is the leak light from the capacitive button.. Anyone having the same thing? It a sore eye..

I'll try again tonight.
I realize similar threads have been posted about this, such as this. Not only my issue is different here, but those threads have been dead too.
My issue here is, I'm running on a stock, unrooted T-Mobile Amaze, and I get similar issues mentioned by rooted users. Is there any workaround to this? Games and web browsing gets annoying with the jitters it gets while using multitouch, and in some games, such as minecraft, it is unplayable.
There's a pin on the back of the phone when you get the cover off. A bit more of search should help you find the thread

I saw that thread too. The thing is, it is only happening when I use multitouch. With single touch, it works flawlessly, but when I use multitouch, it's all good until I transition it to one finger. (I hope that makes sense) After that, the input goes crazy, moving everywhere.
I'll upload a video on what I'm talking about. It's hard to explain it in words, but hopefully having it on video will make this more understandable.
Here is the video:
Note: I have already tried that "bending the pin" trick, and it doesn't work.
Actually I had that same issue and after replacing the phone it ended up being widgetlocker. After I uninstalled it multi touch, especially in games, worked without an issue. Especially had problems when you would hold a touch on one part and touch other parts of the screen, such as in a game emulator.

Wow. That was actually it! I uninstalled GO Locker and those issues disappeared. Good to know that these apps can actually cause issues, but now an even better question, why do these apps cause issues?
or an othe better question, are there any lockers out there that do not cause this issue?
Hi
I have had this phone for just over a week, and when closing certain apps from the multitasking button, and then pressing home, my wallpaper disappears for about 5 seconds, as well as the notification bar, which is gone for like 15 seconds. Also, sometimes the apps I am trying to swipe upwards to kill glitch out and do not close, the phone almost gets confused and mixes the applications up. Are these known bugs to all HOX+ users, or software issues with just my phone? My screen recently was cracked when it was knocked out of my hands by a stranger while I was removing the SIM (because I also had SIM issues with this phone, like many others on this forum) and ATT now all of a sudden says I have no warranty on it. I was wondering if anyone else had these issues I have been having with the HOX+ software so I know whether or not I should be able to be under full warranty, or if these are just general problems. ATT was of course of no help. They said my issues were not documented, and told me to go to a store because it would be under warranty but as soon as I said the word crack it was like talking to a wall. Geesh. Hope you guys can help, thanks!

Right, I don't think the source of the weird behaviour of your AT&T One X + is coming from the software as such, but from dropping it. Unless you have taken out an insurace to cover such accidents I would say you will be left with the costs yourself.

A cracked screen will have touch sensor issues and will behave like you describe.
I have not looked up the SIM issue but on my international version I have no problems even when switching to an LTE SIM.
So I've had my DNA for about 3 hours. Messing with camera screen went black and phone froze had to reboot. Now messing with Netflix same thing only didn't have to reboot. Anyone else seeing any issues like this?

I've had my phone since release day and it hasn't had a single hiccup, let alone any kind of freeze or blank screen. This is definitely not normal.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Can't say I've seen that. What all do you have installed?
Not much installed. Just what came on it right now plus about 3-4 more apps mostly forum apps. If it continues I am going to return it.
I should add the camera lockup was using the front facing camera with the smile detection option enabled. It acted like it was going to shoot and I moved it then it just went black and I had to reboot.
Just did Netflix again and black screen like it just doesn't want to load.

Mine does freeze quite often when I am using the stock Sense photo editor...and when it doesn't freeze, it just lags constantly.

me too..
Had mine since launch and have only seen this once - yesterday while using Handcent.
Haven't been able to reproduce camera freezing however Netflix still shows just a black screen quite often. Force stopping through settings fixes it. Tempted to think its an app problem not a phone problem.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
guys, this camera screen freeze.. does the screen fade out to black? i get that problem when clicking the gallery icon after taking a picture sometimes... but I just shut the screen off and turn it back on and it's fine.

In the instance I had, no. And the issue has never repeated so I figure I just had a hiccup.

Hi,
my wife got the DNA, since I'm very happy with my GNex and all the fine ROM's I was able to test drive.
Now I was not planning to do anything to the DNA, since it becomes my issue at that very moment, when anything weird is happening to the wife's DNA. Some may relate...
For the past week or so she has been complaining that the phones hangs for 10-30 seconds in various applications.
- Words with Friends, in app, just dragging a letter onto the board
- Messages, just opening a particular thread
- Settings, opening different menus within settings, like apps or even About
- Home Screen, swiping to the left or right... you have to wait until it moves, sometimes you see it kind of inching to the left or right...
- other places throughout the phone
Now the phone is operating mainly in Wifi mode when she is around the house, due to the preservation of data in my share everything plan.
When she operates the phone from the kitchen, she is borderline reception, even so the DNA shows 1-2 bars of wifi. By the way a lot better then any other phone I have had, even my old trusty DroidX, which I thought had the best reception (wifi) of all.
This behavior is not 100% reproducible and I can't really get the exact analysis data from my wife, when she is already frustrated... Also I don't know a lot about Sense and wonder if that might be the issue.
Just now reading a little here to see if there are already custom ROM's out there either addressing the issue or getting rid of Sense all together and making the DNA more a natural Android 4.2 phone.
Help!
Thanks

Sounds like a lemon, I would take it back and exchange it for a new one.

If I were you I'd take that phone back to Verizon. None of that should be happening.
It maybe there is a rogue app causing it. But I've never had it hang, ever.

Ya I would definitely return it. Possibly try a factory reset and see if that solves it.

Hey guys, just got my one a day ago and super impressed with this phone.
I have a question, my Google maps, weather clock, and other app are not able to get my location unless I turn on gps.
I'm not sure if it's that way for everyone or just a hardware fault? I have all the necessary options checked in settings, but I do notice that when I check "use Google location service" it does not prompt me with the agree dialog.
All that along with a few dead pixels do you think I should get a replacement? I'm still within my 14 days and have insurance through att.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
DEAD PIXELS = Yes. Replace it for that. I have a habit of turning on the phone in the store, load up a blank web page and tell the browser to go full screen. Through the white I can spot most dead pixels from the get-go. That way there will be no arguments, the rep is right on front of you! He can't deny a broken product when you have proof like that.
As for all the Google stuff, yes GPS signal is pretty much mandatory for most of the software you listed. However, GPS don't activate until you are actually in the app it self - so there is no need to worry about the GPS sucking up battery life. Just flick it on and leave it on!

Yes for the dead pixels.
No for the GPS. How do you expect the phone to find you without GPS turned on? aGPS(location off the cell towers) may not be accurate enough for those apps to register your location. You were prompted for the use Google Location Services permission back when you first set up the phone.
