At the very least you've set it back to stock if you need to return it to Google. Let me know in an hour.

Google Now just got an update, its on the Play store now. A bunch of travel related stuff for the holidays. Boarding passes for your flights that automatically pop up when GPS recognizes you are at the Airport. And a few voice search additions, you can apparently search for the name of a song playing with voice commands now, and post to G+ with voice commands.

Biggest change? Seems much faster. The barcode capture ui is pretty nice too. Song recognition feature doesn't work in the UK dammit. I wish they'd bring magazines and sound search here pronto.
Well. I decided to return to it 30 minutes later (as it's much cooler now). But it appears to have a new party trick. The device will not boot unless it's plugged in.
Looks like I'm not the first person with this problem either.

I'm going to call o2 and get a replacement sent. Urgh, what a hassle.
I really like the barcode scan voice command. Going into the app drawer for Google Goggles kinda sucked since I didnt have to scan things often. Very nice touch. Song search works here. It works well. No idea why they would disable that for another region.
It mutes/pauses music playing on the phone and listens to outside sources. I suppose if you want to ID the song playing through the phone speaker, you would still use the widget since activating voice commands for Now auto mutes all audio coming from the phone so it can hear your speech.

Maps has been killing my battery the past couple days even though I haven't used it and my GPS is off.
Have you turned off Automatic Location Reporting?

i think camera isn't important to you, because i believe you got that Sony one correct?
after reading unknown soldiers post (after you mentioned it) i would probably go with the note 2 as well. (i'm scared that i'm going to go buy it now lol)
trying to just hold onto this One X and just wait until after february to buy anything else... (except maybe a Nexus 10, xmas for sure)
Just reset it like everyone else said, and in future double click the option you want to avoid this in future.

Yeah I got the the Sony rx100 and the piece of crap pureview 808.
The gs3 & one x has an excellent camera, but cm10 kinda downgrade the image and function.
I really like my One X because of the screen, that's why I was considering the one X+.
I like browsing the web at night while in bed and a bigger screen would be nice. I tried using the PS vita but the browser sucks. I got a few iPads but they are too big and I seem to drop them on my face. The Wii U gamepad is actually really good for watching Netflix and browsing...but I know sooner or later I will drop that thing on my face. That's my I always seem to go back to the one X, nice screen at night and it hurts less.

I wasn't asking about myself, although jumping through hoops just to get to their sales page does annoy me. I'm more speaking about how they're potentially losing the attention and dollars of an average user who doesn't know about program defaults.
And I'm not going to double click an extra menu a thousand times just because one of those times I need another app. That's just poor design, and it's an easily solvable problem that someone at Google just hasn't addressed.
Send the POS back to LG!
O.....kay? I suppose I hear you, but thats a seemingly awful lot of compassion for something so easily remedied dude. Change or clear the default. If thats to much trouble, long press the link and select open in new tab, TADAAA. No complicated instructions needed. Heck if you long press in Firefox it gives you a menu choice to open with the App store app or to just open in a new tab.
I can definitely relate to having to give instructions to fix a problem to family members that aren't very tech savvy, but this is just a really minor thing.

move something to external? Android doesn't like it when you are under 10-15% free on internal
Hmm... that could be the problem. I don't understand why they give you a free 100mb if you can't install anything else :\

And you are running a custom rom right? Maybe some of that space is used in case the app data increases.
12 hours of use and at 67% battery? howwww

Just recieved Jelly Bean and Sense 4+ on my international HTC One X.
I'm really impressed by how much better the phone runs altogether now. So many little tweaks and improvements, almost feels like a new phone. Seriously

I lay on my back and use my devices and have never dropped anything on my face.
I have used laptop in bed and have had them drop on my face before (11"). Even 7" tablet is too large to use in bed, 5+" phone is perfect.

Yayyy new rumours. So are we to assume that this is HTCs new flagship device? Seems like it.
Honestly just put a GOOD FUCKING BATTERY in there and I guarantee you it'll be better than the galaxy s4 by virtue of the fact that HTC uses better screens than samsung. Should be funny, Sony's new flagship, HTCs new flagsip, and Samsungs S4 should all be launching within 2-3 months of each other max.

I'd assume this is their new Flagship GSM Device to replace the One X and the One X(L). It's basically the Droid DNA, but with probably a different design (something more akin to the Unibody One X/S) and that big 13 MP Camera. Chipset seems to be the exact same as the Droid DNA and the screen seems to be the same too with a 5" 1080p screen.

Would be a shame if it's the same size as the DNA. Shit is just too big. The dimensions for the Sony Odin got me spoiled already on expectations for possible sizes. I mean that is reliably rumoured to have dimensions smaller than most android phones at are in the 4 inch range :/
Everyone else should be ashamed if they're releasing bigger phones.

MicroSD on that bitch or bust.... Well maybe not bust, all the form over function drooling masses can splooge over the factory sealed unibody aluminum rectangle and maybe we can shut them up for a few months. Meanwhile the rest of us can buy GS4's with massive MicroSD cards, removable batteries and whatnot.

We all know how will Samsung, HTC, Sony design their flagship phones. Samsung will keep the expendability and HTC and Sony will copy Apple.
I wonder if Moto will keep SD slot or go full Nexus next year. Hopefully both Huawei and Asus will bring their top phones to the US next year. These guys will keep the hope alive. By hope, I meant SD slot.
Also, micro nano Sim, fuck that shit!

Ive actually checked out the DNA at the verizon store, it wasn't big at all...it was almost the same size as the GS3/OneX, felt really good.

for someone who already thinks the S3 is big, being bigger makes it seem biiiig.

The Galaxy Note II is actually not much bigger than the DNA. If you are fine with the DNA, the GNII won't faze you.

c'mon son
not too much bigger is extremely relative... especially when most reviews are stating that the DNAs size is bordering being big. they say it's ok because its not really wider than the one x/GS3, but the fact of the matter is that the note 2 is.
he should probably play with that too, just to get a feel.

I've played with the note 2, its definitely much bigger than the DNA. The DNA is pretty much the same size as the GS3/one X.....the thing is, after playing with the note 2, I don't mind the bigger size.

The Note II is slightly less than 1/4 inch wider than the GSIII.

Which I guess is why I just tried it and it didn't work. No music store in Canada yet. Barcode Scan is neat and works well.
The madness continues with this nexus 4. Plugged it in to charge last night and left it at the google screen. It got crazy hot (left it in a cold room) Turned it off this morning and back on again... And it booted with 0% charge. And now its actually charging and has booted.
Did I just force this thing back to life..?

The funny thing is that I don't even really miss SwiftKey on my Note II. The stock TouchWiz keyboard does everything SwiftKey 3 did like log on to your Facebook to memorize your sentence patterns, predictive text with learning what words you use sequentially, Swype-style key tracing, and it even adds a WebOS-style number row above the regular keyboard that no other keyboard has. The TouchWiz keyboard doesn't auto-correct the way SwiftKey does but half the time the auto-correct only fucked up some word which wasn't in the dictionary I actually meant to enter in. Word correction only seems to occur when you tap the predicted or corrected word in the list above the number row.
you will lose the SPen functionality in the keyboard if you use SwiftKey right?
