The guy who commented Note users are Ah Beng is insulting all Note users. I am one of the Note user and I must say is now my favorite smartphone. He must be one of those highly intelligent, well cultured and sophisticated gentleman to throw such rude remarks

I suppose most users will get some sort of casing for the phone . So the slippery problem is not that serious

HTC One X! Quad Core, but which application in android market really utilize quad-core cpu?

Just asking, i really want to know.

---

This is really a matter of chicken and egg situation. Do not expect any apps now that can utilize quadcore as it is just available. Same scenario most apps now not even cater for duo core
If you are buying quadcore , I would say immediate benefits is in faster and smoother multitasking . You are also buying into future possibilities quadcore will bring
By the time apps mainly available for quadcore, quadcore than will already be outdated already. Than we will be seing hexa or even octa core !!!

if anyone had rooted their phone ...pls guide me pls.......

The instructions at XDA is straightforward
before you do it make sure android sdk fastboot is installed first in PC : download the sdk at
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It is straightforward and simple - which part you dont understand. It is the simplest rooting I have come across
Check your phone manual how to get phone into fastboot mode. eg on the Xperia Arc is just a matter of pressing Volume down button and pushing the power key prior to the bootloader screen appear
ON terminal in PC - cd to the directory where you have extracted the android sdk and just type ONE line comment only
How difficult can this be ???

QUOTE:
Connect device in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Open Command prompt and type:

fastboot flash system system_xps_prerooted_63fw.img

This will give you root immediatly after reboot!

He doesn't like the sp but has to live with it. Removing it makes the capacitative 3 buttons less responsive. Already many reviewers already complain about the touch sensitivity of the buttons even with the sp on

I like HTC one X because
1)quad core
2) bigger screen with IPS display
3) beats audio
4) ICS loaded

I like X S because
1) nice design ( transparent element)
2) bravia engine (higest PPI)
3) 12 MP  camera
4) PlayStation certified

so I'm really confused right now  sweat.gif

All your 4 points for XS not so important to me :
1. Design is always last in my priority
2. Display even SLCD i find is good enough - eg I compared previous Xperia Arc n HTC Incredible S - the Arc display though looks better doesn't really appeal to me . I don't even find ip4s retina display amazing vs the androids that I have used - it just looks slightly better only. Similar for those super amoleds, superamoled HD that I have used before - nothing great . I am not going into detail to analyse the pixel density and how sharp or refined the edges are on the text. As long as the images/text comes out clear is good enough. Anyway the HTC OneX won't lose much, even if it did is still not an important issue to me
3. Not important as I rarely used to take camera shots
4. Completely useless to me as I don"t play games at all, not even on my ipads and android tablets

I see, but DIGI usually charge 5-6months of monthly fees upfront. No?  hmm.gif
so the total upfront is definitely more than what they claim as "upfront"
*
Go read the article again. Where got Digi charge upfront 5-6 months besides the advancer payment which is actually rebated back to you. You buy from Digi provided you need to utilize that much of data monthly ; if not it is not worth it having to pay a fixed monthly dat charge therafter

If one feel he is being overcharge unnecessary just don't buy. No point complaining about it later. It is just plain silly
