What is an ANT sensor receiver?

Its a standard used by heart rate sensors - for example used by Garmin GPS watches etc etc. Some phones have it some don't. If not you can use bluetooth ones but they are supposed to suck and are more expensive. I want to use a heart rate sensor with My Tracks. Getting an ANT compatible phone seems more economical than giving Garmin like 300 EURO for something that replicates the functionality of my phone.

Anyhow if the One had one might persuade me to buy

White One X just arrived, fell into the old superstition of charging it fully before using it, so she's resting now...

My god it's a very good looking phone.

Bit of a diva eh ? she hasn't done any work yet :P

WolfForager

Thing is, I know once I turn it on I won't get any work done tonight, so I'm trying to put it off as long as possible :P Letting it charge seems like a legit excuse!

How are people finding the battery so far?

Just hit 15% after 10 hours.

That's with moderate to heavy use today. A few long calls and a fair bit of email and Internet use. I've taken screenshots but am in work just now, will post them later.

The screen is a hog at 52% and calls at 23% battery use.

ferrigan101

Just dropped to 12% writing that post.....

WolfForager

Yea, my battery has gone from 100% to 30% in just over an hour. Jaysis.

Also seems to say that I'm roaming.



Anyone having WiFi issues with the phone? Doesn't seem to want to play nice with the WiFi at home, have to turn the router on and off a few times to get it to connect.

Ooof, that's fairly hefty battery drain. Think mine was the same through the first couple of charge cycles though.

Never had a problem with wifi, sorry dude!

the roaming issue could be if you're on emobile?
also the wifi issue, I could never get my DHD to connect up correctly with my linksys 54 somethig model(when I checked it, it always said "obtaining address from wifi name"
do you have the same make router?

WolfForager

I'm using a PEAK router, fairly cheap thing that my ISP gave us.


Sigh, now for some reason it's forwarding my calls.

With Three btw.


This WiFi problem could get very annoying.

It's not actually forwarding the calls, it's just showing the annoying blue icon, dial ##002# then hit call and it should sort it.

Whoa thats mental battery! the battery uncertainty is turning me off this phone at present

Anyone noticed when out and about it changes a lot from 3G to H even when not moving? With both appearing the signal bars remain the same, usually 3 or 4. Never changed like this so rapidly on my Galaxy Nexus....

Battery is about a day for me with heavy to moderate use. Not blown away by it anyhow...

Cheers,
M

Is there a way of getting Google Wallet onto the phone?

No worries. Have you tried to connect to any other wifi spots btw? Just wondering if it's the phone or the router....

WolfForager

What software are you guys running on the One X? This is mine atm:



Can't find any updates atm.

Not blown away by the battery usage or the phone itself?

I'm seriously thinking of getting the phone myself but nobody who has it seems to be too excited by it so far.

Is there a big difference in speed with the quad core processor say coming from a single core phone?
Is the phone snappy and responsive?
How do the apps and games look on it?
Whats browsing like with that screen?

Lots of questions I know but I'm undecided.

My Desire HD always does this too, changes from HSPA to 3G when doing nothing. Nothing tow orry about, from reading up prevously aparantly they're the same speed network.

About the battery I don't think any smart phone these days will last a 2nd day without a charge. you may push the phone into the 24-30 hour bracket but it'll have to be charged during work hours..

I always have data on, be that mobile network or wifi (Wifi drains battery A LOT less than 3G signal for example) and I find I get through most of the day on a charge, with moderate to heavy use. Lot of Whatsapp, draw something, browsing, etc...
Yes, I'm too excited by the phone, love it and so has everyone I've showed it to!

Is there a big difference in speed with the quad core processor say coming from a single core phone? Coming from the DHD, yes, massive difference.
Is the phone snappy and responsive? Very much so!
How do the apps and games look on it? They look amazing, the One X has, simply put, the best screen I've ever seen on a mobile device. You want to impress, stick a HD video on there.
Whats browsing like with that screen? Fantastic, though Chrome always seems to zoom out to show all by default, the standard browser lets you turn off "Overview" display.

Some evidence of my hilarious battery life tonight, keep in mind this was on the first charge cycle.

Actually got it to connect to my own router. Kept the Wifi on the phone on, turned the router on and off and then it worked. Seems to be the only way....

Do you have brightness on automatic or full?

Automatic. Will charge it up again over night and see how it goes tomorrow.

Star Lord

Mine is currently on 38% after 4h 36m, but I've had the screen on almost constantly on automatic for the duration of that as I've been using Whatsapp for most of that time.

Mines the same bar the software number is 1.26.771.2
It's probably 3's version

vibe666

has anyone tried current widget on the one x? just interested to see what sort of current draw it has at idle out of the box and if you play around with the settings?

EDIT: although it might not work properly.

Esko on April 17, 2012 (Version 0.35)
Htc One x readings
Good software, but gives wrong readings with htc One x. Was getting ovet 7amps of current, nyt i think thats not even possible

WolfForager

Huh, a word of advice to people who use Eduroam wifi at college.

Don't.

Can't disable screen lock now because it prompted me to set it when I first used Eduroam, even after forgetting the network it won't let me turn it off.

LOVE the phone mate just the battery life I am not blown away with....for my use so far it's barely lasting a day and I'd say I am not a heavy user like.....Also on a custom ROM so expected the battery life to be better.

Cheers for that.....just the rapid changing of the 3 to H and vice versa had me thinking battery drain straight away!!

I'm pretty happy with the battery at the minute although I'm not really using it heavily.

unfortunately it has to do with my current working situation, never really away from a computer for more than 4 hours a day when i'm not sleeping

WOW!! You on stock ROM?? Using juice defender or anything like that??

Yep on stock rom, not using juice defender or anything like that.

I leave wi-fi and data on at all times, have screen brightness set to half way and am only syncing my google accounts.

The only other thing I do is to let the battery drain completely before recharging it.

Meant to post this last night but was dead after work! (Me not the phone )

I appreciate the good things of the One X, but not lasting a day is a large fail to be honest

I know people with the 4s who comfortably last 1.5 to 2 days

partyatmygaff

The OTA is out btw. Go to software updates and check for updates.

I'm getting a day out of it anyway comfortably enough, though I do keep a second charger in work just in case...

11 hours is very bad though for any phone, my xperia s has a hd screen and at the moment its on 71% after 1 day and 1 hour use.

Got mine yesterday afternoon. Loving it so far. Rooted already :-)

One complaint, there is a serious lag when unlocking the screen. Press the power button and up to 2/3 seconds later the screen comes on.

Can't find it in any of the marketing blurb

I can't find any reference to it outside of this thread. HTC aren't listed as members of the ANT+ Alliance so I doubt it'll appear on any HTC phones any time soon.
