Yeah I'm weird like that, did it with the Desire as well.. also make sure never to put it in a pocket with coins / keys etc

Erm...not weird cause I do EXACTLY the same....LOL

Just an update on my one x battery life.
I had it with me in work last night. It was at 100% when leaving home about 6pm, turned bluetooth on and made a couple of calls from the car (about 15 minutes all together) then into work, bluetooth off, wifi off but data on.
Took another call about 10pm and copied 2gb of music over to the phone. It was on 89% when I finished with that. Busy all night so had been in my pocket untouched all night. I checked it at 7am and it was showing.....89%!
Drove home with bluetooth on, made a 5 minute call. Into bed by 9am and it was at 84%.

Very happy with its performance so far. Its obvious from the battery graphs that the screen is hammering the battery out of it but I'm sure that'll be sorted when we get proper root and a few good roms

Hope i dont regret going for the s instead of waiting a week for the x.

I'd really stick with the X. In a few month's time, i'd imagine a lot of One S buyers will be feeling buyer's remorse. When there's so little price difference between the midrange product and the flagship, it doesn't make sense to go with the midrange product.

A bit more on topic: you guys who moved to the One X from the Desire, how do you find the mobile/3G signal reception compared to the Desire? I mean, areas you used to get good coverage are patchy now, etc. Any issues?

Same as ever tbh. If anything, I now get signal in some areas that had very poor coverage (Such as the basements of TCD...).

Agree about the signal being crap. Where I an now I always had at least 75% signal but with the One X I am getting 20-40%

I was under the impression that these phones gave 25gb dropbox space. Does this get added automatically or is there something I must do?

If you go into your dropbox app and then into the settings menu you will see an option to watch a video about dropbox. Watch it then you should get an email telling you that you have 23gigs extra for the next 2 years.

I was a bank statement away from getting this earlier.

In carphone warehouse with meteor 329 euro and 12 month contract on 35 euro a month, 200 texts and 200 mins and 1GB of data. Seems good to me although I must ring meteor as I'm pretty sure they said the bill was 30 euro.

Unless you dont need such a big screen Some people just prefer the AMOLED screens and a smaller phone Its pretty much the reason why I would pick the S over X. Not willing to go with a 4.7" phone again. Its too big for me. I can manage it, I got big enough hands, but 4.3" is the max ill ever go again.

The future Mrs. Jones' iPhone 4 went for a bath last night and I was shocked to find that she opted for the One X as a replacement today. That screen is ridiculously good, still think white looks far better and I'd rather the power button on the side of the device. One thing I've noticed is that some embedded youtube clips in the browser have been corrupting in the top third.

I have the s havent had a chance to pick up the x yet to feel the difference.

It's plastic :-) - quite like the back of the desire, and the sides more like the galaxies.

I had another go side by side again today and the form of the S is way nicer in my opinion.

I had a pick of the sensation or the galaxy s2 for my last phone and thought the galaxy plastic felt much flimsier than the sensation althogh that had metal as part of the body,will have to check the x tomorrow.

IMO, it doesn't feel anything like the Galaxies. The plastic that Samsung used on the S1 and S2 (Much like on the €49 Europa incidentally...) was a horrible, thin, flimsy plastic. The plastic used on the One X is on a different level.

Oh I agree completely. I really didn't like the Samsung plastic feel. Good for aerials and antenna but horrible to touch. The desire was okay, but the aluminium on the s though feels classy.

So for those with the One X, have you rooted yet and if so what ROM you using? Many benefits? On stock here as only got it yesterday but do you think the auto brightness is a bit too bright??

Cheers,

Right,got a new sim yesterday,but didn't port until last night. So tried it out this morning and I'm afraid no improvement at all in signal. So my advice is if you live in an area that doesn't produce 5 bar HDPSA signal then you might be disappointed with this phone's signal strength. Very disappointed with HTC over this, surely a flag ship phone would have a flag ship aerial/transmitter?

I'm in the middle of sticksville at the moment, and the one s signal is 1 bar on occasions otherwise 0. The signal strength is -109 db from the testing screen and the connection is 3g.
How do those figures compare to you ?

Hey there, for those with the one x any regrets, pros and cons ??
Cheers.
