HTC One X: new "unofficial" upgrading about Jelly Bean

HTC has not yet expressed a detailed description of the procedure to update the current top of the range smartphone HTC One. After the presentation of the new release of the Android operating system, HTC had confirmed the general project update HTC One X and S to Android 4.1 JB , without, however, communicate more precise details about it. In the past few hours, the community of independent developers at XDA has been undertaken to investigate a RUU file, recently deployed in the network, which appears to refer to a test version of the ROM with Android 4.1 and Sense 4.5.

The RUU was put initially available to the users of the community, to then be removed upon request of the known member of XDA, football. We anticipate that those who managed to make the download did not bring to fruition the upgrade of the terminal. The theories advanced is that we can deal with one zip corrupt or of an original file that presents, however, the blocks during the extraction phase.

Although, for the moment, hopes to try right now the latest version of the Android system with an original ROM from HTC have been disregarded, it is encouraging to see that something is actually moving. The Taiwanese manufacturer seems to be working hard to make available the latest release of Android that would bring, among other things, the new 3.0 kernel. Safe to assume that, before long, you may be issued a new leaked based with one of the test versions of official Jelly Bean HTC One X. For more information about the file become the subject of rumors of the past few hours, please consult the official topic available at XDA

HTC One X: started to roll out the update OTA with the new build 2.17.401.2 Official Updated

Some of the innovations introduced by the update had already been made ​​known through the version of "leaked" 2.15 integrated in different custom ROM, starting Android HD Revolution. We should point out, however, that the update refers to a build that also appears to be later than that just referred to and is therefore likely that this is a further optimized with respect to the previous version.

We recall that already leaked build 2.15 had hinted that the news will be particularly significant. In addition to updating the Android OS to version 4.0.4, build the test showed, in fact, the benefits in many sectors of the smartphone: the browser, battery life, through the resolution of annoying bugs like the one that prevented make the live wallpaper without incurring lag. A fortiori, the new official build could be further improved.

It only remains to suggest that you check the actual presence of the update directly from your smartphone, if the notification had not been sent. The reports on the availability of the update already come from different countries of the euro. Do not forget to tell us if you have managed to complete the upgrade. Otherwise we suggest you wait a little longer ', given the fact that the start of the distribution is not now under discussion.

Comparison of camera HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S

In the middle of last month we have published a comparison cameras new flagship Taiwanese company HTC - One X and pre-sale model Samsung Galaxy S III. The presented devices with varying degrees of success have shown good results, they find themselves almost at the same level. Today, we compare the images of three competing devices: a pair is called the Galaxy S III and One X, as well as the iPhone 4S.

Compare the quality of shooting is possible thanks to smartphones similar resolution camera - 8 Megapixels. For this reporter Cnet took a few shots with three smartphones in different conditions: there will be and portrait photography, and objects near, as well as photos taken indoors and outdoors. The shooting took place at a standard camera settings, without any filters or effects.

We arrange the pictures such a way that made ​​One X, leader of the Taiwanese manufacturer of mobile electronics will be in the middle to make you easier to compare the picture quality.

As to the first image with the image of flowers, the HTC One X proved to be a good side with respect to color, particularly the shaded areas on the edges of photos. However, if you have a conversation about the field, the competition is much better to show the surface topography - numerous folds of the petals.

 Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

In the next series of photos shot made HTC One X, stands out not only the deep blue and black in the graffiti, but also notable contrast with the surrounding foliage and sky. The current flagship of the Samsung shows the least contrast, and very pale shade.

 

Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

In the case of images of the coast most luscious color turned from Galaxy S III, and the IPhone has provided the most vivid picture. But HTC One X performed well in respect of field - it is noticeable when comparing the right sides of the picture, which shows the rest. We certainly can not see people, but the silhouettes are not blurred.

Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

As for portraiture, SGS III significantly "lightens" the photo, the red is brighter, but obtained the least realistic shadows. HTC One X and the iPhone 4S show approximately the same results.

Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

Finish round outdoor shooting pictures of objects at close range, in this case - the tomatoes. HTC One X unequivocally the leader, showing the best image quality.

Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

After walking down the street, it was decided to make a picture in a room with good lighting, close to natural. The picture shows the regiment captured one of the shops, the pictures taken without flash. All the pictures are quite good, but in a photograph taken smartphone Samsung, and colors look softer, and the text more readable.

Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X / iPhone 4S

Another couple of pictures were taken without flash indoors in low light conditions. The picture looks better with glasses only in the performance of HTC One X: sufficient sharpness (which is not true of photos Galaxy S III), good colors and sufficient brightness. In the case of the iPhone 4S picture looks bright enough, but compared to other instances of noticeable "yellow."

gilded statue looks best on-screen iPhone 4S, slightly worse performance in the Galaxy S III, the quality of shooting HTC One X at this time was not the most good: the picture looks flat, whitish, and not sharp.

To summarize, we note the obvious success of HTC in the work on image quality: One X can be considered a high-quality "camera phone" that can compete with the best products of famous companies such as Samsung and Apple. Of course, the unconditional victory can not speak, but this is another step towards the improvement and another one is weighty, the application for the victory. [VIA Cnet ]

HTC One X using as hammer

At the presentation of the line HTC One Peter Chou (Peter Chou), executive director of the corporation HTC, talked about the many wonderful features of the new smartphones. In general, emphasis was placed on their audio component, which is promoted by the brand Beats, as well as that at the request of Mr. Chow's superior to those of the iPhone 4S - thank you for this new camera module, a unique software and chip technology Image Sense. However, for some reason did not Peter Chou said that the flagship, the smartphone HTC One X, you can hammer nails .

As you know, the case HTC One X, the flagship of the new line is made ​​of durable plastic, which the manufacturer specifies a polycarbonate. The body is solid and it has only two recoverable items: slide for SIM-card (MicroSIM) and the protective glass that covers the body. HTC say that the glass is made ​​by the Corning Technologies and define it as Gorilla Glass. The first test of strength and glass, and the case passed from users, journalists and even the most inquisitive sellers . It was found that polycarbonate is really resistant to crashes, and the glass does not let us down. However, you can break all would wish.

At this time, the desire to smash HTC One X arose among residents of China. They undertook to check whether you can use the HTC One X for some types of household chores - namely, for nailing. And the nail in a tree is not boarded up housing smartphone, and protective glass. After a lengthy strike a nail, he was finally beaten in the tree, and it turned out that the flagship of HTC has stood the test with flying colors - the glass remained intact. Certainly, some scratches on it still, but the video quality does not allow them to consider. Once again, it was confirmed that handset manufacturers knowingly pay British company Corning for this technology. True, HTC One X was a serious disadvantage, which will prevent you from using the smartphone as a hammer - it's too easy.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs HTC One X, challenge boot time!

Which of these two super smartphones will start more quickly when turned off? During our meeting with Samsung , is clear and leaves no way open to interpretation.  The Galaxy S III , besides being a lightning strike in all the operations that the user requires him to perform, is a real Formula 1 with respect to starting times .

 

The comparison is carried out almost the same hardware specifications that we report briefly below for the two flagship smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S III

• quad-core 1.4 GHz Exynos 4412
• 1 GB of RAM
• 16 GB of internal memory
• Android 4.0.4

One HTC X

• quad-core (penta-core) 1.5 GHz Tegra 3
• 1 GB of RAM
• 32 GB of internal memory
• Android 4.0.3

Despite the One X is equipped with a processor 100 MHz more powerful than that of the Galaxy S III , which, however, of little importance for performance at these levels, it undergoes a net loss in terms of the boot time, ie time startup.

The Galaxy S III is able to start in the net 19 seconds , while the X One well it takes 41.150 . A result of this, that on one hand highlights the quality "fast acceleration" of the Galaxy S III regarding the start time, but on the other hand, highlights the slow pace of net ' HTC One X to start up when switched off . After startup, though, the One X are served other 10-20 seconds about to "recover" and be operational, while the Galaxy S III was fully operational from the beginning.

HTC One X Drop-test for the fall [Video]

The first few days after your purchase, we try to handle the smartphone very carefully, put it gently, always wipe. A small portion of people still continue to "pray" to the phone for him to buy blankets, films, and in general strongly protects expensive device.

 

But most of the week after the acquisition start throwing it on a table or chair car, and in general treat the device as a utilitarian thing, not a jewel. For example, do you feel about a second, more common type of people bought straight from the tin and the flagship of HTC X One . What will happen to him if you drop it on the asphalt, or tile?

The guys from the portal htcpedia decided to test an absolutely brand new black HTC One X for resistance to fall. Why is there such an idea? Yes, because HTC is called a monolithic body of fresh flagship polycarbonate scratch-resistant and shock. Fans of metal housings, which are among the owners of HTC devices a lot, do not really believe managers of Taiwanese corporations and rubbing their hands, waiting to hear the tearful stories One X customers that the plastic casing of the smartphone broke.

To assess the strength of the body HTC One X htcpedia guys had some crash tests . The first test, drop pocket, reflects one of the most common situations when the smartphone hits the ground. Surprisingly, after the fall of the smartphone on the stone covering the street with him nothing had happened, it was not much visible scratches on the case, the screen remained completely intact , and the device worked. The second test, a drop of the shoulder, also showed the stability of the body HTC One X to the punch. In this case, the situation is tested, when you talk on the phone, and he slips out of hand. Finally, the most terrible test - drop the phone face down from a height of more than a meter. Unfortunately, even the heavy-duty glass Gorilla Glass 2 is not able to withstand the blow of a stone and broke. But the smartphone at the same time continues to run, which indicates that the overall structural strength.

As you can see, polycarbonate has shown himself to advantage. From my own life experience I can say that metal case in this situation was more visible damage. Of course, the metal has a nice tactile effect, but whether it is scratched "protective" cover?   [VIA HTCPedia ]

Insignificant claims to display HTC One X?

HTC One X is essentially one of the flagships of the most exciting company with a conceptual point of view. It refused to send HTC 'flagship = metal, "which the company used for its products last few years. In fact, that HTC introduced the fashion to the metal body of producers in the Android-devices.

Of course, the Taiwanese company has not given up entirely of metal - it is used in cases of two other series of products, but that's flagship decided to make polycarbonate, destroying this stereotype and paying extra attention to themselves. But the body - not only design and design innovation of the company, and attracts the attention of a special form of protective glass covering the screen. But everything is so "rosy" with this glass?

To begin with let's look at the subject of our interest - the protective glass. If the usual smartphone edge of the glass rest on the ledges of the special grooves, then the HTC One X they are made sloping. When using a device that decision creates a pleasant and unique tactile effect. Forgive me, fans of the Taiwanese brand, but it is worth mentioning that this glass is not an invention of HTC, it was first introduced in the smartphones of the Finnish company Nokia, and more precisely, in the first (and possibly last) MeeGo-smartphone Nokia N9. Fashion for polycarbonate enclosures also introduced Nokia and the same device. However, using other people's solutions for their own benefit - the right business decision.

We now turn to the essence of the "problem". By clicking on the protective glass on the left and right can be seen in these places the image "floats" or even disappears. This is slightly reminiscent of the behavior of older displays, and I can imagine that this is happening because the thin glass GorillaGlass2 flex under pressure and actually touches the screen. Whether it is a tangible problem? Of course not, because to achieve the effect you have to push very strongly to glass that does not happen in real use. Frankly speaking, HTC One X is hardly an ideal device, but this "problem" is obvious and not worth a damn, or rather it be classified as "nitpicking." Or do you think otherwise?

HTC One S and One X: a claim to the material

Last week kicked off the European sales of smartphones series HTC One. HTC One V, One S and One X aroused great interest of the public before the sales, but some want to first time buyers waiting for reviews to those experienced in real smartphones, and identified problems that may occur during prolonged operation of devices.

 

Unfortunately, the reviews of owners One X and S suggests that the problem really is and some of them can not be solved by simply updating the firmware.

According to European users of black HTC One S, so much touted ceramic coating obtained by plasma treatment of aluminum billets , has one defect - it starts with case in respect to the "critical" areas . As proof that there are photos from one of the visitors to the forum XDA. He argues that the smartphone it is used quite carefully and not fall to any significant height. Incidentally, plasma electrolytic oxidation, as is sometimes translated Micro Arc Oxidation, does not protect against attacks, but only from scratches, corrosion and weather factors. I would like to believe that these are isolated cases or a marriage party, so what are waiting for feedback from you, our readers.

The problems are not spared and flagship smartphone HTC One X. According to Paul O'Brien (Paul O'Brien), known as the founder of the portal for developers MoDaCo, covering the plastic cell phones  easily scratched during normal use . This is due to the fact that he did not recessed inside and touches the surface on which is placed a smartphone. By the way, about this issue speaks not only Paul, but other users of this smartphone. The described injuries lead to problems with focusing. If you, our readers, as well faced with covering up scratches on the plastic chamber, then ask you to write about it in the comments.

The only smartphone Series One, about the structural problems which have not yet conducted discussions on the web - HTC One V. Really, the most accessible of the series turned out, and the most successful in terms of design? If you can point to some problems with the device, we ask in the comments. Remember, your message can help make the choice to another person.  [VIA MoDaCo ]

[HTC One X] Half Smartphone, Half Game Console

The large 4.7-inch smartphone from HTC features an excellent interface and a powerful processor. A device to do everything, but does it really?

The promise

The two new stars of HTC are S and One X One, a couple surprising that caused a sensation when it appeared in the last MWC 2012 in Barcelona. The X One focuses on the power, by arming the quad-core processor nVidia Tegra 3 signed. With 32 GB of internal memory, this smartphone looks like a real video game platform. It also offers an environment in Android 4.0.3, Ice Cream Sandwich said, and especially the overlay Sense 4.0. We therefore wanted to know if the device was its many promises.

Reality

 The X One particularly impressed by its smoothness and lightness: only 9 mm thick for 130 g. If it holds very well in hand, it is too wide to effectively use only one hand. The casing of the device is removable. It is therefore difficult or impossible to change its battery. The screen is very well integrated into the smartphone in a dominant plastics that break with the nobility of its design and assembly. In terms of finish, despite everything, the One X remains one of the most polished smarpthones Android Market.

Autonomy record voice

The One X was very uneven in our tests of independence. Recall that its Tegra chip 3 is composed of four powerful cores supported by a fifth less swift, but very little energy and intended to take over when the phone is in standby. So, in a voice conversation (off screen), this fifth heart allows the camera to take almost 19 hours on battery, a record. In video playback, however, when the four main cores are activated to decode a file in 720p, the X One lasted only 4 h, a bad result. In web browsing, it is better (6 h), but remains in the low average of modern smartphones. In a video game in 3D Shadowgun grown like the One X will not take more than 2 h 30 min, which is not bad.

HTC Sense: always the best environment for Android

With the design of its smartphones, the main value added manufacturer HTC is its interface Sense. The latest version 4.0 totally transforms the original interface system Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3). Again, this is a real achievement. The overlay is full of options and ergonomic tips. It also incorporates the major social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc..) And high-quality widgets. Everything is very fluid and responsive, and lined with beautiful 3D animations. Menus very dark Android 4.0 have all been touched in white, and are, hence, much more user friendly. The multitasking menu toggle between programs has been completely reworked by HTC and now offers a smooth and incredibly effective. In short, in every sense, Sense interface was already the most careful of Android smartphones, and still is.

Potential for games to prove

With games, the outcome of our tests is generally mixed. Certainly, the Tegra chip offers 3 great potential power. But we observed some small saccades in games like GTA 3, embarrassing for the player. The same game, with the same level of detail, was much more fluid on Galaxy rating. Small delays found in games are mostly due to data loads, and should be mitigated by some optimization of the system by HTC. Updates are therefore desirable.
While Nvidia has meant that developers improve graphical rendering of their video games for the Tegra chip 3. But they do pay version "THD" optimized for the chip from Nvidia. If you have already purchased a title like Shadowgun will require the purchase price to acquire the same version THD, we can use with the Tegra platform 3. If these games are actually pretty much, this business practice is, in our view, unacceptable.
Note that multimedia, the X One reads all formats of audio and video files except DivX 3. The camera devours the 1080p with ease, no complaints on that side.

Beautiful photos

The One X has a very powerful photo sensor. Our tests are clear: it is one of the best photographers in the industry Android, with the Samsung S2 Galaxy and S Sony Xperia. It remains just below the quality offered by the iPhone 4S, whose record is more balanced in our opinion. HTC also offers an HDR very powerful, much more marked than that of the iPhone. This is too strong for HDR images properly informed, but it becomes much more efficient than that of the iPhone to correct against big-day.
The LCD displays the X One definition is very high (1280 pixels by 720) and a consistent brightness (495 cd / m²). He maintains an adequate contrast ratio (over 1237:1) and displays the correct color, even if their record tends to pull the yellow.

Powerful but boiling

The One X is not perfect. We identified many small bugs minimal interface that must be corrected. But the biggest handicap of the smartphone is its temperature, which can be very high: up to 49 degrees behind the laptop after 10 minutes of play in 3D when plugged in charging. It is way too! From our observations, the Tegra processor 3 runs very little to 1.5 GHz. He spends most of his time at 340 MHz, 1000 MHz and 1400 MHz, even in games.
Another serious handicap: the One X does not accept MicroSD card. It will therefore be satisfied with its 32 GB internal memory (27.35 GB actually available). The new version of Sense, however, offers an online backup of 25 GB .. DropBox unfortunately limited to 24 months available. Then it will subscribe!
finally finish with the button bar Virtual Ice Cream Sandwich, a heresy in terms of ergonomics, in our opinion. This bar appears in many applications, particularly in video games. It occupies 6.56% of the total display area of the screen to display only one menu button, which often has no function in the open application. Why this bar is displayed does? Because HTC has simply decided not to integrate this menu button off the screen, one touch buttons for the camera!

The verdict

The HTC smartphone One X finally impresses mainly by its design and its interface very successful. Autonomy in communication record proves the effectiveness of the Tegra chip 3 when his fifth heart uses low power. But in 3D, in games, this platform has yet to prove much, and receive many optimizations from HTC. The One X combines several small flaws that ultimately lost him his fifth star. Overall, it remains one of the best smartphones on the market.

HTC One X vs. Sony Xperia S: Comparison browser (VIDEO)

Waiting to show you our focus on the performance of web browsing for HTC One X , we point out an interesting comparison video starring the new flagship of the Taiwanese and the first smartphone made ​​by Sony after the acquisition of shares held by Ericsson in the joint venture for many years has marked the history of telephony, ie the ' Xperia S . The ground of challenge is that of web browsing .

One HTC X and Xperia S are two of the most interesting device of this first part of 2012. In both cases we find a resolution display 720p that is revealed, therefore, particularly suitable for internet browsing. The display of the Xperia S exceeds that of HTC X One regarding the level of pixel density, the top of the range HTC responds by proposing a diagonal (4.7 "against 4.3" of Xperia S). Significant differences regarding the operating system used by the two devices (Android One X 4.0.3 for HTC, Android Gingerbread Xperia S) and different hardware platforms (quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 for HTC One X, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 Xperia S).

HTC has made several customizations to the native browser which is full of options and requires a physiological period of training to master the best. As an example we mention the option to activate and deactivate the reformatting of the text. The feature has often characterized the browser of HTC devices, but thanks to the high resolution and display size of HTC X One that enables readability even without recourse to higher zoom levels, the function can be switched off by speeding up operations rendering of the page.

We leave the interesting video comparison wishing you a good overview:
