Rooting is very simple. It just sounds to techy but you can contact me if you need any help, here is the link:

[HTC One X] techmania7:
Sure if I get the HOX,Ill definitely contact you but it'll be a one time thing right?Won't need to do it over and over again?
[HTC One X] bushu16:
I understand you concern brother and perhaps my blogs are biased towards HOX but it is the fact!

Regarding battery, I rooted my device on day 2 so cant comment how much it gives from stock but definitely the latest 1.29 update has improved the battery. I am using rooted 1.29 ROMs and set to Autobrightness, and am online on TapTalk and many other online syncing apps always.

Well one point to note here would be, Wifi usage. I am online over 3g directly by my provider and not Wifi. Wifi does consume more battery. not sure if that is your line of use...
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
I can guide to root you if you need that.

Btw rooting the hox make you to got addicted using your phone. Rooting the phone gives ability to do some interesting task.

You can install custom Rom , which gives more option like battery mod , auto brightness mod , menu background changer and many many.

There are many roms available for our beautiful phone . You can flash any Rom . Btw flashing Rom gives you some extended battery life.
[HTC One X] techmania7:
Probably will be more active on 3G as the deals in India are quite reasonable and whenever I am at home,I'll use wifi and make sure I charge it too.

Looks like rooting is the way to go but in my case major assistance will be required from you guys.Now I have to decide whether to go with a rooted HOX or the s3.Back to square one,pff

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Would I be required to root it on a regular basis?Sorry,if my questions appear to be little stupid,have absolute no idea in this area.

Oh no! It is one time job. Once rooted enjoy for ever :) and it should not take more than 30 mins

Rooting

While we're on the subject, what are some advantages of a rooted device as compared to one that's non-rooted?

I do know that the warranty is lost when you're rooted.
[HTC One X] dazz29:
I have a --23 model, had it a few weeks. Wifi reception is great, haven't measured it scientifically, just going by the displayed signal strength and 'visible' performance, at home, in Starbucks, etc. Better in fact than any previous HTC or Nokia.

But my bluetooth reception is crap, it seems a very weak signal, often I can cut it altogether just by placing the HOX in my pocket.

But they're the same chip, right? So - ? :confused:

Is this a software issue? Or hardware?

I notice sometimes that my wifi signal, in another room from the router, can fluctuate from one bar to full bars, with the phone resting on say a table. But performance always seems quite acceptable.

I have one week left to exchange/return - appreciate any advice....
[HTC One X] veerm:
Lot of xx23/xx24 devices have wifi & bluetooth connection issues. And its hardware issue. You can simply verify whether you have HW or SW problem on your device. Just press the area on your phone between camera lens and volume up button. While its pressed (gently) see if your wifi signal boosts. You can download wifi Analyzer from Play Store and test this more scientifically. Just find that spot on your phone. If it does varies your wifi & Bluetooth signal strength then its definitively your phone have "loosely" connected network parts. If not, its SW on your phone OR your router settings.

P.S. I had similar problem with wifi on my phone. After a lot of "fighting" with HTC customer service & service center, they have agreed to replace my phone.
[HTC One X] bushu16:
I have HT23ZW build no such issue :D

About the audio: mine HOX + sennhiser earphone= ipod quality
[HTC One X] techmania7:
Okay,Ill decide in the next few days and see what I conclude with.Rooting is not my cup of tea and if somehow I face some difficult situations with it then I wont have any idea on how to fix it.

Best for me if I stick with an unrooted phone,at the moment s3 offers more battery so it may end up as my phone unless I regain some optimism about rooting and choose to go with the stylish HOX.

So the question is,To root or not to root?
[HTC One X] C56X:
I wouldn't recommend rooting. I was in a similar situation and figured that I'd be better off staying on stock, even though rooting offers a lot more customization, etc.

Rooting will also void the warranty.

Your call.

HT25 batch

Does anyone knows where to get a HT25 batch?
[HTC One X] techmania7:
I agree can be a risky move especially with the chance of it getting bricked.The problem is if I don't get it rooted,it'll have the battery power of a Macbook pro off charge and since long hours of battery(10 hours+with mediocre app usage and heavy whatsapp usage)is a necessity,I doubt an unrooted HOX may provide so much.

How long does your phone survive off charge?
[HTC One X] C56X:
I get a little over 8 hours with between 15-18% battery remaining.

I am all stock; not sure if these stats are decent.
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
Today I managed to get more than 24 hrs with almost 6 hrs of screen on time. My usage involved a bit of browsing on wifi and watching two 1080p movies back to back. I am on 1.29 stock. This is my second charge-discharge cycle. So far the battery life has been pretty good fr me
[HTC One X] C56X:
You're getting more than 24 hours on battery with almost 6 hours of screen on time, and that too, on 1.29 stock?!

Could you share some of your phone settings? I'm just curious to know; perhaps, there's something I'm doing wrong :D
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Anyone using a case for their HOX?

Any suggestions for a decent one?

Where did you buy it from flipkart or ebay?
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
What about your brightness?
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
I am very particular about breaking in the battery of the phone. For the initial few charge-discharge cycles, I follow the following procedure. So far this procedure has yielded good results for both my DHD and GSII.

1. Charge fully using the wall adapter. Never charge using laptop/pc

2. Switch off the phone and charge till you get the green light.

3. Switch on phone and use it and let it discharge fully but dont let it shutdown. Let it discharge till about 2% battery.

4. Switch off phone and charge completely.

5. Never take off from charge when only partially charged, then use the phone and then put back in charge again.

Follow the above for the first 4-5 cycles and you get good battery life.

BTW I have disabled the bloat which includes- 7fm, bollyhungama, saavn, picasa, etc.

I have auto sync, auto brightness enabled.

While watching the movies I had set the brightness to 50%, the rest of the time it was on auto. Volume was turned up to 85% and was using earphones.
[HTC One X] C56X:
Are you sure about allowing it to discharge till 2%? I've read that with the Li-Po battery, it should be put on the charger when it drops to between 15-20%.

Does it make a significant difference charging the phone while it is off, as compared to when it's on? I get calls all the time; I can't afford to turn off the phone, to let it charge.

I have also read about folks who leave the phone to charge for an additional hour or two, even after a 100% charge!

And thanks for sharing all the little tips! Very beneficial.

Was 3gdata turned on or only wifi?

Am really curious because my phone died after 8 hours of use today with 2h 16mins of screen on. 3g was on full time and I played games for a full hour. I don't know whether this is normal use or mybattey is dying to fast?? :confused::confused:
[HTC One X] C56X:
I too, got almost 8 hours on battery, but I was on WiFi the entire time. I had a little over 4 hours of screen on time.

Are you rooted?

Just wondering what battery time / screen-on time, is considered "decent/good", when running stock everything?
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Your usage seems normal and 3g usually drains battery. WiFi doesn't drain that much battery.

Am not rooted.

Everything stock except that I use nova launcher instead of the sense one.
[HTC One X] C56X:
I've read somewhere that Nova Launcher enhances battery life some. Have you noticed it too?

Is Nova Launcher an app that needs to be installed?
[HTC One X] saranyan:
I don't know about the battery life. But it's definitely smoother and faster than sense.

Yeah it's an app which you have to install from the market. It's like the stock ics launcher. Am just used to that because I had a nexus before this phone.

Sense widgets don't work on other launchers though.
[HTC One X] techmania7:
Rooted?

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

Since your online now,I'd like to know how long your battery survives after heavy usage of apps and messages and also whether its rooted or not.
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
There is no documented proof anywhere about that 15-20% figure for li-po batteries. But that aside, the 2% figure I mentioned is not a rigid guideline. It doesn't have to be 2%, it can be 5, 7, or even 10%. But the point is you should never and by never I mean never let the battery drain out completely. By following the above steps you will be able to calibrate the battery properly.

Keep in mind that most of the poor battery back up is the result of corrupted battery stats while flashing/updating custom/stock roms.

Regarding charging the phone while off, well its advisable only during the battery run-in period. Also to make sure the battery is getting completely charged you can use current widget to monitor the current. Once the current goes steady , the battery is fully charged.

I dont have 3g. normal 2g was active
[HTC One X] :
Is my phone screwed?

Hi guys,

I have been an avid follower of xda developers, but now as I have bought an HTC One X i feel that I need to be in this forum.

I have a doubt. I have been using my phone quite normally for the past one week and I have been getting nearly 16 hours of battery life (hd games for more than 2 hours, 3g surfing sometimes othertimes off, play store, downloading apps and so on) and was more into downloading a lot of apps.

But while travelling, I put on Music and doze off. This happened twice now that the battery completely drained and it switched off. And then I would charge it and turn it back on. And now I am kinda scared that battery life might be affected by it. Is there anyway to fix the issue????

Really desperate!

[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
Relax your battery will be just fine. In the worst case the battery stats may be corrupted. However, if you are getting good back up then everything is fine.

However if not, you might wanna do the following:

1. go to settings->power->fastboot and disable fastboot

2. Restart your phone

3. Once the phone boots up, hold down the power button for 10 seconds to shutdown the phone.

4. Get into the stock recovery by pressing power+vol down while booting

5. In recovery, clear cache and do a factory reset.

6. Follow the charge-discharge cycle as mentioned in an earlier post.
[HTC One X] C56X:
What's a current widget? Would I need to install it from the market?

Or are you talking about the amber/green light on the face of the phone.

Once fully charged, do you leave it charged for an additional hour or so?
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
Current widget is exactly that, a widget that shows the current and voltage of the battery. You can download the widget from play store and enable logging of voltage and current values of the battery during charge-discharge.

Once you get green light, theres no need to leave it charging for an extra hour or so if the battery is fully charged. You can check whether the battery is fully charged by using the current widget. Once the battery is fully charged , the current & voltage values as shown by the widget will stop changing. Thats your cue that the battery has been fully charged.
[HTC One X] C56X:
Is there any in particular that you suggest? What do you use?

Screen Ripple Issue?

Who here has the screen ripple issue? Please try it out in your phones with a dark background and let me know. It seems, if it is happening even when light pressure is applied, then it is a defect and they must replace it. I am not sure about my phone.... I mean when I apply little pressure then I can see the ripples but not very badly....

Hey guys... i come from the wildfire

i bought HOX on the 6th of this month and after lot of surfing nd studying everything

i came to a decision that I wait for an alternative way to S-Off

Bt I'm growing impatient!!!:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I had rooted(Soft root) my wildfire since day one..;):cool::D

my main question is : What are the chances/odds that HTC's service centre ppl will findout that my phone is s-offed?? or Rooted?? Coz my wildfire had hanging issues and i had given my phone to HTC nearly 6-7 times.. except for once everytime i had a custom rom on it.. but the bootloader was locked..

but they never "caught" me..

Coz I got my phone from The Mobile Store For 35750/- + 300 (1 year extended warranty)+200 (Theft insurance)

so if HTC detects that i have S-Off'ed / rooted my phone.. ill loose all my warranty.. and i dont think i can risk it on such a costly phone(I'm the 1st one in my family to buy such an expensive phone), so ya, its kinda a big deal for me

I want your opinions on the Service Centers.. nd the employees... anyone had experiences like mine??
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
request to join sent. plz approve

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

The service center folks are bunch of numbskulls. They have no idea about rooting. Basically even if you root but have a genuine hardware defect, the service center will replace the part under warranty. Basically they check two things to determine the handset is under warranty or not - 1) Whats the product no (coz every country has certain range of product no series, and if the sc finds that the product no is out of place they wont honor the warranty)

2) Signs of physical damage

so yeah you can root and have your warranty also coz this is India.

I got my first hox replaced under DOA and it was rooted. Although I relocked the bootloader before submitting to the sc just to be safe.
[HTC One X] jits1988:
Recently, I purchased a Bluetooth headset (Jabra)..

During calls, I am hearing grainy sounds when I keep the phone in the pocket and speak using the headset.. my WiFi does not seem to have any problem.. not getting disconnected or anything..

2 months since I bought the phone.. will it be replaced by the service centre bcoz of this issue..?
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Indian service centers dont care whether you have rooted or not. As long as you put the stock rom back before giving it to them i really dont think it matters.

I also had to return my first HOX due to screen flexing issues. They dint even check the software or bootloader etcc.. They just inspected the hardware and they gave me the DOA.
[HTC One X] aLcHy09:
Hi,

Can you tell me how to check for the screen flexing issue??? And if you are talking about the RIPPLE issue then how much pressure should you apply, like when I apply little pressure there is some ripple effect so I am not sure whether this is a defect.

However, in some other post Hamdir (another person who has had the One X for over a month) told that initially he had that issue, but now there is no issue.. Its just that the glue takes time to settle... Hope this helps others...

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I don't think this is an issue with the phone... It sounds more like an issue with your Headset... Have you tried the same thing with the earphones they gave you with the phone... If the issue is still there then you can give it to them and have it checked out....

Hope this helps! :cool:

NEW IN TOWN!! :D
[HTC One X] saranyan:
I had the screen flex issue not the ripple. The top right hand corner of the screen was loose, Gave a creaking noise whenever i pressed it.
[HTC One X] jits1988:
It's not coz of the headset.. I tried it with my friend's xperia mini pro.. worked fine.. no cracking of voice or grainy sound..

Many have posted here of Bluetooth and WiFi hardware issues.. am jst wondering if its coz of tht..

Did you try with another One X?

Take it to the service center and explain the issue to them... They'll have a spare One X lying around and you can get it tested there.

[HTC One X] aLcHy09:
Actually I found out on another forum post that you can check the battery stats are corrupted or not by dialing *#*#3424#*#*

Once you charge your phone to 100%, then do the battery test and at the end of the test if your charge is 90% then it is all good. But if it very much lesser than that value then you need to factory reset your phone like the post i have quoted and then test again and if it is still the same then check out the One X forum for a post titled:

[DIY Guide to FIX] Battery Heat/Life on stock unrooted HOX's

Also I heard that you should never update your software when it is below 100% as the battery stats will get corrupted. Anyways will try it out today and let you guys know the outcome! :D

[HTC One X] aLcHy09:
I don't think I can take that risk with such a high priced phone for the first couple of months. Probably after sometime I might change the ROM. But not anytime now... :(

By "no use" you mean: no 3g, no wifi, no bluetooth, no auto sync & no auto brightness? :rolleyes:

Hi.. thank you for the info... quiet frankly speaking i had the same thoughts of the SC ppl.. lolz!!;););)

i guess i'll root it right now!!! :D:D:D:D

[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
By no use I mean - a) no 3G only 2G b)no voice calls c)no texts d) light browsing e) light music f) auto sync enabled g) auto brightness enabled h) wifi active in parts. :)

Screen Flcikering Issue?

Hi Guys,

I noticed this recently. Screen flickering.

How to reproduce:

1. Keep the brightness of the device at near minimum not the lowest.

2. Go to settings and then back to the home screen (or into any app for that matter)

3. Scroll up fully or just come back to the home screen and notice especially the white areas whether you can feel the screen flickering?

Please let me know guys! Sad that a high end phone is having these many issues.

I would like you to do just one more help for me if possible...

Go to Developer Options, and enable Show Screen Updates.

Then come back to the home screen and let me know whether it flickers just for the time when it is transitioning or whether it is changing colours after the screen has settled. (In the sense that, initially when you go to the homescreen from the settings screen, the screen obviously updates and it will flicker and change colours for that.... What I am asking is that does it flicker once more after the settings page loads up from the home screen is what I want to know.) For me sometimes in the settings page it keeps on flickering for 2 seconds....)

So I want to know whether this is normal...

I hope you can help me on this....
