I don't think HTC is looking bad, it's more of Apple on some hating ass shyt right now.

So basically, the phones software were modified to avoid this shyt and they were still held?

HTC is riding on this more than anyone.... the multitasking issue is all HTC

What's the multitasking problem? I haven't came across it in any of the reviews?

...also, a lot of people that are dying to get this phone aren't angry with HTC, they're furious with Apple.

Read it on the verge this morning .... basically the AT&T version does very aggressive task monitoring and kills background apps like Pandora and stuff even when you are actively using them...basically they fukked up Androids multitasking system..... its seems to only be on the AT&T version.... people are speculating that AT&T got. HTC to do this to compensate for the effect that LTE has on the battery....

As for the other point I agree, but what I'm saying is that HaTC needs this to go right more than anybody.... this is their comeback and everything needs to be perfect

this is the issue

There's been quite a bit of brouhaha over at xda-developers lately about changes HTC's made to the way multitasking behaves on the One X compared to stock Ice Cream Sandwich. We're not just talking about obvious UI tweaks here -- Sense 4's horizontal, card-like arrangement vs. Android 4.0's default vertical list -- but actual differences in memory and task management. While we're not running into any problems with our One X review unit, some users have noticed that background app are getting terminated too aggressively, so we reached out to HTC for comment. Here's what the company said:

HTC is aware of some questions in the enthusiast community about how the HTC One X handles multitasking and memory management for background apps. We value the community's input and are always looking for ways to enhance customers' experience with our devices. That said, multitasking is operating normally according to our custom memory management specifications which balance core ICS features with a consistent HTC Sense experience.

There you have it. HTC's definitely implemented some multitasking tweaks on handsets running Sense 4. Perhaps this is why battery life is so impressive on AT&T's One X? While we don't believe this is going to be an issue for most people, there's always the option of installing custom ROMs now that the phone's been rooted.
