It is nice to see that JB is rolling out to devices, but it is going a bit slow.

Can't wait to get this update!!
The main problem that the One X (like all the other phones) is the battery life,I'm really curios to see if they manage to increase the lifetime of the battery and also the price for the HTC One X+.....

You can just root and get a JB update :p. Though i must say the HTC One X + is one heck of a phone, though i wanna see if they cleared the thing that's been haunting HTC with their battery life.

P.S. You gotta try Google Now ( http://www.google.com/landing/now/ )

Guess you could root it, but I would like to keep the warranty on it and not have a bricked phone ;)

It voids warranty yes, but bricking the phone is actually a rare thing unless you try some wierd things on it :angel:

Intresting, i wonder what he did....i have my phone rooted for 6 months now have tried countless of customs roms, infact i have dual roms running ( one for performance the other for battery life) and i have yet to encounter even 1 problem. Though the best thing is you can get the latest of the Android's OS without having to wait for the carriers to release it and it's bloatware free.

Tried and had a look of doing it to my phone (HTC Wildfire) but found out that I could do it but I was always unsure on how to do it. So ended up just updating to the latest software for the phone and seems to work and perform much faster then when I first got it, but being a HTC Wildfire I would love to see a much more faster and smoother phone ;)

No, this is not the case. I disconnected the cable while flashing the ROM, so it had a soft brick which is extremely easy to fix: repeat the flashing process :p
I guess A hard brick happens when an important system file is being modified.

Rooting is safe and I have done it with over 5 devices. Samsung's are the easiest ones to root.

Just know what app is safe to install and dont play with system files. I was playing with some wifi files and it completely stopped working, I had to flash the ROM again. :D

A factory reset wont help in such case because it only delets apps, files and settings. :)

I've heard they are quite easy to root compared to HTC's.

Ah I know how you feel, the 1st time is always so scary. Mines a Galaxy S2 used to be a battery hog with all the Samsung apps and stuff. Now it works so nice, on my battery ROM a single charge gets me almost 2 1/2 to 3 days w/o needing a charge.

Yup Samsung is actually quite easy to root compared to HTC or Sony. Unlike Samsung, HTC and Sony don't want ppl to root their phones so they made it harder to root it.

For what are you going to use your smartphone?

Not sure what you mean there. :-/


I think he means what are you currently using your smartphone for or what you plan to do with it, if it gets faster.

Well, if it was faster I would use it as an everyday phone but more than likely use the internet on it. As it is now it's really bad to do it.

I dont think you need a quad core to do this. I have always been browsing the internet on my tablet for 3 weeks without a problem instead of using my laptop. You know it is a dual core. The Galaxy S2(I9100) and Galaxy note 1 run on exactly the same chipset as mine, but the Note is overclocked to 1.4 GHz.
But if you are planning on heavy gaming, get a quad core.

Just as the man said unless your into hardcore gaming on your smartphone you will hardly notice much of a difference on the day to day things. Since most games are depend on the power of the GPU to pull out it's full potential.
