HTC One [Megathread]

Anybody else try the TWRP recovery image?
Much nicer and touch friendly then the clockwork ones

Star Lord

What's it like? I quite like the Clockwork Touch one. Just reflashed the old Desire HD and noticed it changed the recovery from Clockwork Touch to the 4eXT one, complete with fancy background etc... and it's quite nice too. Only problem I can see with the Clockwork Touch one is the fonts are very big, so it doesn't fit much on screen.

Theres its xda thread

Built in file manager, zip queue and just a lot friendlier from what I can see

I'm either getting a one X or a Galaxy S3 in a week or so. Stuck in two minds as to what to go for! I really prefer the look of the one x but benchmarks show the s3 is slightly a better performer. Do any of you guys regret getting the one x over the s3?...I'll probably be rooting it etc and I've heard s3 has an unlocked boot loader and the one X doesn't, is that really a big deal?

Hmm... doesn't seem to work for me, when I select Recovery after flashing it, it just kicks back to the Fastboot menu...

Professey Chin

Strange. Flashed perfectly for me

Star Lord

The download only seems to be 5KB, as opposed to the 5MB of Clockwork recovery. This might be the problem!!!

Professey Chin

Heres its official site

It's weird, even downloading it using the Goo Manager, it was getting invalid MD5. Trying to download the 2.2.0.1 version from their site got me the 5KB file. Seems better now though, downloading the 6.3MB .img file correctly. And flashed properly this time, so working now! Cheers man!

Anyone having any issues with the incall volume being really low? I have the handset at max volume when on a call but I can barely hear who I am talking too. Driving me mad.

No, not at all? Maybe try something like Audiomanager Pro, that lets you adjust the various volume levels?

I see there is a Cyanogenmod 10 preview up now. Looks like all the core functionality is working. I think i will install it today and give it a go.

Ive been running it since sat. Everything I use seems to be working fine (except the gallery behaving weird). Some battery drain too but that could just be from me arsing around

nedd

there seems to be two seperate CM10's on XDA. which one are you running? or are they both the same?

Professey Chin

Im running this one. Minor differences but they actually keep the source released

Random question. At the mo I am using the inbox headphones (waiting for my new headphones to be delivered). Anywho there is a button on the headphones obvs and I just want to know how to (if I can) make it do what I want (like you can with iPhone headphones). So I know if I am listening to music and hit the button once it pauses the song. And if I hit it once again it unpauses. Grand. But when I hit it twice it turns the song off and dials the phone (so far it keeps dialing the mammy but I presume that is cos she was the last dialed in the phone!). How do I make it skip song without taking the phone out the pocket and manually doing it?

Ok so I went to Jelly Bean yesterday and about 2 hours later they released a new version...

So I'm on that now, Preview 4. So far so good. Not much difference to be honest. Google Now (which I already had working on ICS) is about it. It does look nice though. I will see how it goes for a few days.

How did you get Google Now working on ICS?

username?!

Just picked up a HTC one X on vodafone this morning.

Few things i've noticed, Phone seems to get alarmingly hot when charging at top of the back near the ring around the camera, is this normal?

Touch also seems kinda of weird the phone always seems to think I want to press into something when I'm scrolling through a webpage or say facebook news feed, if I was to try scroll down a picture in Facebook app it would more then likely click into the picture. I am coming from a HTC desire HD so might take some getting used to I suppose.

Any ideas?

griffdaddy

Did you check for a software update yet?

username?!

Yes it just updated when i first got it, seems to be okish now maybe it was just me. Few things, facebook notifications used to be pushed straight to the notification bar now this doesn't seem to happen have it setup in the app and all. Also i liked how on the Desire that the pull down notification bar had a mini settings tab that allowed you to turn on and off wifi mobile data etc.... Can this be put back on?

Got notifcations fixed using the blackberry facebook trick all is good.

Noticed though my screen seems a bit loose in the cover of the phone makes a clicking noise when pressed.

exactly like this one:

Should I return it I could see it getting worse over time!

I get the exact same clicking sound on my One X. Bottom left of the screen, just above the Back arrow.

username?!

Have you had the phone long has it got worse?

Might pop into Vodafone later and see what they say.

I had the One X & HATED it!!!

And that's after drooling over it for so long...& waiting until I could upgrade!

Came from Desire HD & also big fan of HTC!!

Returned it & got the SGS3...am totally in love.

Phone is a dream!!!:)

(Just my opinion!)

mik_da_man

Do you mind explaining what u hated and how the S3 is so much better?

I thought they would be pretty similar....

Apart from the S3's slightly better benchmark performance, I really can't see how it's so much better...plus, I'd say you can't even notice that difference in general use.

I prefer the look/build quality of the one x, and it's cheaper( a good 40 quid cheaper on PAYG).

Think I'm gonna go for the one X ...Is it tricky to root seeing as it doesn't have an unlocked boot loader?..This will be my first proper android phone so not too familiar with the process!

I can see why people would prefer the one x over the sg3 or vice versa but I cannot see either phone can be so different in terms of functionally or performance as to hate one and love the other.

Pretty much what I am trying to understand.
I like both of them
Imo the build quality of the one X is a bit better but the S3 is a bit faster and a better battery.
No way are they world's apart....
