for anyone considering buying this phone – just consider the way at&t is treating the customers who bought the 1X (in my case, just a few months ago)… NO updates, NO word on when or even IF the 1X will see Jelly Bean and now even rudeness for asking a rep what our options are. PLEASE – if you want to know how you’ll be treated tomorrow, look at how others, in a VERY similar position, are being treated today.

Yea. I haven’t had a problem with any of them. Make sure you wipe your cache every time you update to a new nightly and definitely give it a reboot after you install it. I would wait about an hour or so so everything can settle. But they are great.

Pure android 4.2.2 in the HTC One would be amazing…

yeah. I think what makes the HTC one a no go for me is sense 5.0, weird hardware key layout, and locked boot loader.

Ok, Lets compare HTC to its next biggest android competitor. Based on the flagship devices

1. Samsung has lately been very faithful to providing updates to their phones. The s2 was upgraded from gingerbread to ICS to Jellybean. This upgrades include all features of touchwiz available on their flagship, the s3. Atleast you are guaranteed two major OS update on Samsung.

HTC on the other hand have limited OS updates to their flagships, with very few models actually getting jellybean. The rezound,and all other pre-one-X devices got short changed. They got sense 3.6 instead of sense 4. Other devices were skipped entirely in the update. and the aT&T One X has no jellybean to date!!

2. Modding: Samsung has been very keen to help the dev community, releasing kernel sources even before the device hits the market, and never locking their bootloaders (Except the verizon s3, which still got its bootloder unlocked). HTC phones come with the bootloader locked, regardless of whether on contract or carrier free. Plus the kernel sources are almost never published by HTC

So, there is very little incentive to pick up a HTC, atleast for me.

Speak for yourself! I hate this trend! I get the cheapest and best rates from Verizon, and very good coverage in my area. I can’t afford to just switch for a phone. I hate how Verizon treats the phones they offer, but I’d much rather see that fixed than just have allmanufacturers abandon them.

It worked great until about two weeks ago, right when the OTA hit. I can’t imagine any hardware could tank that fast. 4g goes in and out a lot now, never did before.

5 hours battery time w/ 4G on – 30m screen time, 15m 4G streaming,15m music = %90 battery left….(not to mention I have 2 push email accounts and other services running in the background). maybe you have a bad phone/battery?

Mine was like that. Now it’s plugged in by 3pm. After several 3 way calls with VZ and Samsung, if it’s not fixed by the next OTA, I’m allowed to re-upgrade at upgrade pricing. Example, today: 18 texts, 1 call @ 3 minutes, 34 minutes screen time, powered up for 4 hours, battery at 77%.

Unless that Nexus is on Verizon. Then you don’t go back to Verizon either.
