My experiences with HTC One X

I have owned this model for a couple of days now. I have had some good times with it but the problems are somehow negating the whole experience.

I have posted about the issues at multiple places trying to get a response from HTC. I have been largely unsuccessful. So, I decided to write a blog post about it.

Here are the two hardware related issues that are affecting my unit…

This one was scary. It has only happened once and I have been unable to replicate it.

This one started happening today and continues to remain like that. Some folks have told me that this is probably the proximity sensor that has started glowing for some unknown reason. In any case, I have no idea how to get it back to normal.

Ok. I have to admit, this movie was surprising. I messed it up by reading the complete story along with the ending on Wikipedia so I lost out on the suspense. But it was still a very good watch.

Character development was done (somewhat) which seems to be missing from all the movies I am watching these days. Actors were great. I especially loved the LIC Agent who was most definitely the star of the movie.

The only grudge I have with this movie is the stupid stupid computer wizardry shown. Ping and Traceroute commands are shown for hacking into the computer. I mean this is 2012. Either stop showing the computer screen or develop something gizmoyee in Adobe Flash like they do in other movies.

Too much viral marketing going on for this movie. I wonder why.


I saw it last night. It is definitely a movie you should check out. But I would not call this a great movie.

The movie shines in parts. There are some brilliant dialogs but they appear out of nowhere. Characters are not developer properly. Things just keep on happening randomly. Ending is a drag.

There are very few movies that comes close to perfectness/completeness of well let’s say Dev D. this movie does not come anywhere near it.

Also this!

First… Their EDGE network simply does not work on my phone. It is not working at my place. I have traveled locally a bit and it does not work at all anywhere I went. I have pinged them a couple of times, they continue to say that they are looking into it.

Update: Working now!

Second… Their Smartbytes page has not been showing ANY information for my account for a couple of days now. Without it, it is hard for me to keep an eye on my usage. I do not want to get FUPed this month like I got last month.

Update: I have been told that Airtel Smartbytes is not supposed to show the usage at all. In fact, I was told that it is impossible for this section to show the account usage. Freaks.
