AT&T HTC One X+ Updated To v1.19.502.1 With Bug Fixes Galore, Full ROM Download Available

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in HTC, News, One X+

Even though HTC is now focusing on its new baby (and possible savior) the HTC One, that doesn't mean the company has completely forgotten about the last generation. AT&T's HTC One X+ has just gotten an update to v1.19.502.1. Sadly, this is still Android 4.1.1, but it does fix a few nagging issues.

The full change log is straight to the point. HTC is fixing bugs, and not much else:

AT&T Address Book Fixes
Bluetooth fixes
Wi-Fi fixes
Other minor bug fixes

One X+ owners can pull the update down manually, or wait for the OTA to show up on its own.

[Update: Confirmed] HTC May Upgrade One X, One X+, One S, And Butterfly To Sense 5 UI

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in HTC, News, One S (Ville), One X (Endeavor), One X+

Update: After reaching out to HTC, we've confirmed that the statement on Facebook does in fact mean that the mentioned devices - the HTC One X, X+, S, and Butterfly - will be receiving Sense 5 in a future software update. Some features of Sense 5, though, will not be included, as they depend on specific hardware found in the HTC One.

There's good news out of Facebook tonight, at least if you don't intend to upgrade to HTC's latest and greatest hardware. In answer to an Israeli user's question about upgrades to the shiny new Sense 5 Android interface (seen only on the HTC One so far), the official HTC Facebook account stated that it intended to upgrade most of the company's later high-end devices, specifically the One X and X+, One S, and the Butterfly.

[Deal Alert] AT&T's HTC One X+ Only $80 For New Customers From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, One X+

The HTC One X+ may be a rehash of the original One X, but it's a good rehash. It's easily the best HTC phone on AT&T right now, and if you're looking to pick one up without breaking the bank, Amazon Wireless has the deal for you.

Right now, if you agree to a new two-year term with Big Blue, Amazon Wireless will hand over this little beauty for $80. By contrast, AT&T will charge you $200 for the same phone, with the same contract. Scumbag carriers. Similarly, If you're already an AT&T customer thinking of re-signing with the carrier for this device, you can grab it for $140.

HTC One X+ Review: A Mid-Cycle Refresh Makes A Great Phone Even Better

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in AT&T, News, One X+, Phone Reviews

The HTC One X was (and still is) a fantastic device thanks to its solid hardware, excellent build quality, and stunning display. But it's a little long in the tooth, partially because the newest high-end smartphones have both quad-core CPUs and LTE, and partially because in the smartphone world, anything that's 7 months old is (unfortunately) outdated.

That brings us to the HTC One X+, which is more of a mid-cycle refresh than an all-new model. It keeps the same basic frame and the outstanding display, but packs a more powerful version of NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, and the AT&T variant even comes with LTE.

The HTC One X+, One VX, And Samsung Galaxy Camera Are All Out On AT&T Today

Posted by David Ruddock in AT&T, Galaxy Camera, News, One VX, One X+

November 16th is a big day over at AT&T, with three major device releases going live today (announced earlier this week). The HTC One X+, One VX, and the Samsung Galaxy Camera are all available now, so let's break it down.

The One X+ will be $199 on a 2-year agreement, while the VX will be just $49.99. This sets up a three-device pricing structure for HTC at AT&T, with the original One X now just $99.99 on contract. And I have to say, a 64GB LTE phone that's as good as the X+ is quite a bargain at $200 - I definitely expected at least $250.

Congratulations - you will be contacted for your information in the near future!

The HTC One X+

The HTC One X+ is a lot like the original One X - if you stuck the One X in an awesome-machine and painted it murdered-out black, that is. And AT&T and Android Police are giving one away. You do want a One X that got stuck in an awesome-machine, don't you?

You're likely already in the loop about the X+'s robust feature résumé, but let me break it down for you again, just in case.

One X+ And VX For AT&T Availability Set For November 16th

Posted by David Ruddock in AT&T, HTC, News, One VX, One X+

The much-awaited One X+ and VX for AT&T have finally had their availability dates hammered down - both handsets will be released this Thursday, November 16th. The X+ is HTC's refresh of its flagship One X handset, though aside from some additional memory, the first Tegra 3 processor with LTE, and a spiffy new all-black pain job, it's basically the same phon. Those upgrades are substantial, though, and should make it a serious contender this holiday season. The One X+ ships with Android 4.1 and Sense 4+, while its predecessor is still awaiting an upgrade to the same.

The One VX is HTC's latest midrange handset, and its lineage suggests it's probably related to the One S to some degree, though it lacks the S's aluminum body.

Hands-On With The HTC One X+ And One VX

Posted by David Ruddock in News, One VX, One X+

Last Updated: October 26th, 2012

I had a brief hands-on with HTC's newest Android devices here at MobileCON in San Diego; specifically, the One X+ and One VX, both of which are tied down to AT&T here in the US. And the one you're probably interested in, the One X+, comes in any color you like - as long as it's black.

Now, my hands-on was indeed brief, but as a One X owner, I largely knew where to go and what to look at, and I have to say - this thing runs smooth. I've never found my Tegra 3 One X especially slow, but the speed difference with the newest T3 chip (presumably, the T33 found in the Transformer Pad Infinity) and Jelly Bean is definitely noticeable.
