whats going on with the latest update on our HP X3??

[Byrese]

Yes. I dropped it once while getting up from the couch and was certain I either put crack in it or at least a dent some where. But nope, luck has it on those occasions and drops this X3 had no dings or cracks. I think minor hair line screen scratch on it some where...

I usually end up buying one when I come across a new hack I want to test or try out. Then I resell it. I have bought and resold the X3 at least 4 or 5 times. I did own the VZ CDMA model too at one point but ended up exchanging that for the GSM unlocked model at the Microsoft store. Right now I am X3-less. But I have a 950 XL, Idol 4s, 1520, etc to keep me busy...

Haha. Truth...i read you other post late last night and dreamt that my mom had dropped my x3. Well, in the dream it was like a tablet size version of it (its a dream and stuff don't make sense in dreams). I was pissed! Must have been in my head.

Geez! I've been looking to buy two of the Verizon HP Elite X3s. I've been asking and searching and can't find any. People who have them, do not sell them!

I just bought a Verizon one last week on eBay. If you really want one, you have to check eBay weekly. As soon as I saw it on eBay, I bought it immediately. I got it for $220 with all original accessories including dock and most was still wrapped in plastic. Pretty much brand new.

That's a good deal. I got mine a few weeks back closer to 3. Enjoy

Ya I have been seeing smoking deals on legitimate Elite X3 phones. It is always just the phone no accessories. In the sub 200 dollar range.

Ya... Luckily my deal included two official cases (folding leather and hp rugged).

I checked the serial number and it still have 8 months of warranty on it! Awesome. So far, I am really happy with my purchase. Came from a Galaxy Note 8. While having access to all the apps was a great thing to have, I found myself not using many at all. I looked at my Start screen, I used Launcher 10, and I realized that I don't need access to all those apps as I really didn't bother with very many. So I decided going back to a more consistent experience with real Live Tiles was the better option. I missed using Outlook on W10M vs the Outlook app on iOS and Android.

For apps that I will need access to such as my bank for the occasional check scanning, I have an iPad for that.

Been using an x3 a week and a half now. Everyday it seems my rotation stops working and screen brightness is super high. Not sure yet what's triggering it. Reboot to fix it.

Got mine after scanning eBay over a few days and a deskdock package showed up for 310$. Pretty much brand new, accessories were still wrapped up, a screen protector was applied

I haven't had any rotation issues but I have noticed the screen brightness is generally high, even when toggling between brightness modes. Hasn't really bothered me much though as the battery life for me has been amazing compared to the Note 8.

It's a major effort to get my TMobile Idol 4S working after each update. The last one required a hard reset. Since it's not my daily driver, I waited several days with numerous attempts to restart. It gets stuck on TMobile screen and just hangs there. In the past, I've been able to get it going with numerous soft resets. This time, I had to complete a hard reset. No harm done since its not my daily driver. I basically use it as a backup when my V20 battery runs out, so I've been keeping it updated.

There is a solution available. LOL

Yes, I did switch back to Android Oct 2017 and now my V20 is experiencing the typical Android BS. Rapid battery burn, random reboots, sluggish performance, etc. Hard reset not helping. So, I'm relying more and more on my Idol 4S as a backup. And no, Apple is not a solution for me.

HaHa, I just figured out your identity. Yap, I'm getting closer to your solution.

No rush. If you don't take it, I'll probably keep it for posterity. Although I am looking into switching from Red to AT&T so I can actually use it.
