Last Updated: June 18th, 2012

Earlier today, we took a look at the SPIGEN Crumena Case for the HTC One X. Like the same case for the Galaxy Nexus, this is a classy holster-style case with a superior build-quality and looks to match.

We know how much you love free accessories, so we've teamed up with SPIGEN to offer up ten white Crumena cases for the HTC One X (the white case looks especially sexy with the white One X) to ten lucky readers.

Here is a list of things that I loved about the Crumena case for the Galaxy Nexus, which also apply to the One X version:

  • It's simple.

Whatever You Do, Don't Use Your HTC One X As A Hammer Like This Guy Did

Posted by in News, Off-Topic

Your smartphone can be a lot of things. One thing it should not ever be is a hammer. The guy in the video below disagrees with my opinion that the HTC One X is not, in fact, a hammer. As you can see, he has a serious nail problem and, as the saying goes, "When all you have is a nail, all your HTC One Xes look like hammers." Or something like that.

The phone appears to be unharmed, despite being smashed in the face with a nail by a very sadistic Russian Chinese man 151 times. Yes, I counted. Each blow hurt my soul.

[Exclusive] How To Root The AT&T HTC One X On Version 1.85 (Or Earlier)

Posted by in AT&T, Exclusives, News, One X (Endeavor)
Last Updated: June 5th, 2012

While giving the AT&T HTC One X's firmware a look over, I ran across a a vulnerability that would allow us to gain root access. It turned out not to be all that useful at the time, as another root was released the same day. With the latest 1.85 firmware leak, the previously published root has been fixed, making the one I found earlier useful once again.

Update: AT&T disabled the app installation features of Ready2Go thereby breaking this root process. We don't have an updated root method at this time.

This vulnerability happens to be in carrier bloat - specifically an app called ATT Ready2Go (also know as dashconfig), which is shipping on many new AT&T LTE devices.

One-Click Root Now Available For AT&T's HTC One X

Posted by in News, One X (Endeavor)

Three short days ago, AT&T's phone selection got a little bit better. Of course, I'm talking about the arrival of the HTC One X. If you already have this flagship in hand, then you'll be happy to know that a one-click root method is already available.

Disclaimer: Android Police isn't responsible for any harm to your device - proceed at your own risk.

This will automatically root, install Busybox, and SuperSU onto your One X, all while you sit back and sip some coffee. Here's how to make it happen:

This will not unlock the bootloader!
  • Download the HTC drivers for Windows
  • Download root.zip and extract it
  • Plug your phone into the computer (make sure USB debugging is enabled in Settings  > Developer options > USB debugging)
  • Double click the appropriate root file (root.bat for Windows, root-linux.sh for Linux, or root-mac.sh for Mac)
  • ???

HTC Releases One X Kernel Source Code – AT&T Variant Conspicuously Absent

Posted by in Android OS, Development, News, One X (Endeavor)

Keeping up with its trend of timely code release, HTC dropped kernel source code for the HTC One X today, the same day the device became available through AT&T. The code release includes kernel source for the One X across a range of carriers and regions, including Optus, T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone, and more, though the list notably excludes AT&T.

While HTC's release of One X kernel source is certainly a step in the right direction, the AT&T variant's absence is unsettling, and many are no doubt still wondering when (or if) the device may be allowed into HTC's bootloader unlock program after a controversial statement from the manufacturer Friday.

[Head-To-Head] HTC One XL (Qualcomm S4) Vs. HTC One X (NVIDIA Tegra 3) Reloaded

Posted by in News, One X (Endeavor), Videos

Last week, we posted a benchmark battle between the HTC One XL (AT&T, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4) and the One X (Unlocked, Tegra 3). The reaction to the video was exactly as expected: the S4 enthusiasts defended the XL, while the Tegra 3 fans laughed and patted their favorite processor on the back.

Given how much buzz these two phones are generating right now (especially in comparison with each other), it's definitely fun to watch them go head-to-head against in the benchmark arena, but the last video focused specifically on one test, and one test only (AnTuTu).

Are you interested in seeing how these two powerhouse phones compare to each other in several other benchmark tests?

Reminder: AT&T's HTC One X Pre-Orders Begin Today For $199 With A Two-Year Agreement

Posted by in AT&T, News, One X (Endeavor)

Not that we assume you've forgotten, but here's a quick reminder for anyone who has been waiting for the HTC One X on AT&T: pre-orders begin today. You'll have to wait until May 6th to get your device, but with that date still two weeks away, you can at least guarantee to have one in-hand on launch day.

2012-04-22_11h02_32

Specs:

  • 4.7-Inch SuperLCD 2 1280x720 display with Gorilla Glass 2
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon Krait processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • LTE
  • 8MP f/2.0 rear shooter with zero shutter lag
  • 1.3MP front camera
  • NFC
  • Android 4.0.x with Sense 4

The device will set you back $199 with a two-year agreement - a rather reasonable price for what could be one of the biggest flagships we've seen this year.

AT&T Officially Announces The HTC One X - Available On May 6th For $199, Pre-Orders Begin on April 22

Posted by in AT&T, News, One X (Endeavor)

I'm convinced that April 22, 2012 will forever be recognized as one of the most Android-packed day of all time. Why, you ask? Because that's the day that the day that Sprint's Galaxy Nexus, LG Viper, and LG Optimus Elite will be available, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 and ASUS Transformer Pad 300. Looks like AT&T didn't want to be left out, so it announced this morning that its version of the HTC One X would be available for pre-order on that very day for $199, with a release date set for May 6th (which lines up with previous rumors - good job, Best Buy!).

HTC One X Handily Beats The Galaxy Nexus And Xperia S In Camera Speed Test Video, Shows Off Burst Mode Just To Brag

Posted by in HTC, News, One X (Endeavor)

Begun, the camera shutter wars have. Ever since Samsung and Google debuted the Galaxy Nexus' zero shutter lag feature, handset makers have been cranking up their camera apps. Sony's Xperia S is a 12MP monster camera with a fast shutter, but the real speed demon here is the HTC One X. In the video below, the only area the One X loses is in not having a dedicated camera button. As a side note, manufacturers, why don't your phones with amazing cameras have dedicated camera buttons?

As you can see in the first tests, the Xperia S beats the HTC One X in the sleep mode test because it can wake directly to the camera app via the dedicated camera button.

AT&T's HTC One X Release Date Possibly Outed As May 6th, According To Best Buy

Posted by in AT&T, Leaks, News, One X (Endeavor)

Many AT&T customers have been chomping at the bit waiting for any word on when the upcoming HTC One X could hit the scene, and thanks to Best Buy, we may finally have an idea as to when that may be.

2012-03-30 10h18_34

The Double B has been taking pre-orders for the One X for a few weeks now, but even then, didn't tell customers when they could expect their glorious new handset to arrive. However, one customer recently received an email from Best Buy stating that the "release date for [their] pre-ordered item" had changed to May 6, 2012.

Since we didn't actually know of a release date in the first place, we're not entirely sure what "changed" about this, but that makes little difference now.
