quote: On the old firmware, not the current 2.2 Firmware. Nice try. Reply Back to Top |
quote: If you are already unlocked and rooted why would you want to unroot and relock to download a factory update Are there not developers in the One X community building ROMs around the new firmware? I mean hell I would think there are even custom Sense ROMs out there. I know there was for the Thunderbolt back in its heyday. Reply Back to Top |

quote: Not really about that, it's about competing with other smartphones on the market. If you go buy a One X now, or have in the past month or so, it comes with the 2.2 firmware which is locked down by AT&T and not rootable. You can brag about Android being open source all day, matters none when the carrier can lock it down, just like the Nexus on Verizon and the One X on AT&T. You have to resort to patience and waiting for an exploit by the hackers in the dev community, just like iPhone owners have to wait for a new jailbreak for iOS 6 while they search for exploits.

| my location is pretty spot on, just a few paces off, I'm in one part of a building and it says I'm in another part maybe 3 or 4 rooms away (when using satellite) Reply Back to Top |
quote: You're right Android is completely locked down and not open because of two devices. quote: If you want to root and unlock then you'll know this and you'll find a phone that someone hasn't updated. You made a blanket statement that the AT&T One X couldn't be rooted and that's not true. This post was edited on 10/4 at 10:27 am Reply Back to Top |
quote: More than 2. quote: Lol, because a lot of people by carrier locked used phones. You are an idiot. Anyone buying a One X right now can't be rooted, so actually I was correct. And the new HTC One X+ that was just announced, will come with 2.2 stock, there goes another locked down device. Point is, carriers can lock down phones and prevent (for awhile) jailbreaking/rooting. Eventually exploits will be found, and then the carrier will throw out a new firmware fixing it so anyone buying a new one is fricked. shite gets old. Reply Back to Top |

| Is it possible to walk into apple store/AT&T in br and buy an iphone5? Or are they still back ordered? Reply Back to Top |
| AT&T seems to have some 64gb in stock. Reply Back to Top |
quote: You'll be able to find a 64gb. 32gb is possible but less likely. 16gb is probably going to be backordered. This post was edited on 10/4 at 3:45 pm Reply Back to Top |

| My iphone deal is this: Reception sucks. My BB was hands down a better phone. Better reception, fewer drops, etc. I can't even really use my iPhone inside my house or in buildings. It goes to one bar of service and drops calls all day long, even when i am in the middle of town or on an interstate with cell towers all over the place. Anyone else? Reply Back to Top |
| After two weeks with the iPhone 5, here is my review: The iPhone 5 has only one drawback. Moving the antenna back in side the phone has made the iPhone 5 much worse at picking up AT&T in neglected service areas. I am in the unique position of having a job that allows me to go across various areas both rural and urban. Ironically, the iPhone 4 with the falsely hyped Antennagate deal was magnificent in giving me bars on my 4 where I was No Service on the 3Gs. If you are on AT&T and exist in low service areas, the iPhone 5 will be a disaster for you. Out side of that, this phone is amazing. The hype regarding bad maps is as ridiculous as the antenna gate scandal. I have used Apple maps at work for two weeks, and it has done nothing other then take me directly to where I was going regardless of how far into BFE it was. I used Siri turn by turn on a trip out of town last weekend going to places where I had no clue where I was going and it was a magnificent experience. Turn by turn on Apple maps was precise and I had no issues regardless of where I was trying to go. The iPhone 5 is incredibly fast. It is so fast that when I hit an app that used to take a few seconds or even 30 seconds to load now loads so fast that it seems like It knew that I was about to touch it. The antenna on the iPhone 5 does not pick up AT&T's weak arse service. That is the only negative thing I can say about it. Reply Back to Top |
