Yep, same here now. Finally got it to go through once, but no email. Called HTC, got a fairly unfriendly CS rep that said "web sites go down from time to time for maintenance and it will be back up when they're done". I asked her if she was going to let anyone know and she said yes, but I doubt she will.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Called back because of how unpleasant the first lady was. Got a guy that was a lot more helpful. He said they are a completely separate entity from the dev side and that the only contact info they have is an email, but that he would fire one off. He also suggested everyone that is having a problem submit feedback through the link on the dev website stating that the token submission is broken and either throwing the maintenance error or saying it's sending an email but still isn't. I guess that's the best we can do right now.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
812 EST, and I'm getting the same message as well.

This is a replacement phone. Does anyone know if the unlock bin from my rezound that I had to send back will work? Or are they individual device specific?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Thanks for calling to get us info. hope its back up soon. on their twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/htcdev) they know and are "trying" to fix it. looks like a computer based on the same exact answer given lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
most likey not. different tokens :(
[HTC Rezound] elkay:
Nice catch! I subscribed. Good to know that they're actually aware and that we aren't unheard. Guess I'll just mess around with my new phone in stock form until tomorrow. I must say though, what a breath of fresh air to be rid of Motorola!
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
well i was stalking the page all day so i somehow weaseled my way into their twitter lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Heads up! before you guys try this all night, they MOST LIKELY are not working on it for the rest of the night. id advise checking back in the morning ~8am. HTC is good but not good enough to work through the night lol
[HTC Rezound] elkay:
I'd wager that even if the site is hosted here in NA, that it is managed offshore. I'll probably check once more before I crash for the night.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
just got through painlessly. ill wait another ~30 mins and then im done for the night

PS. New tweet about fu*king WP7 live tiles -___-
[HTC Rezound] gregkas:
HTCdev

I'm having the same problem, being a newbie with this hacking and modding android business, it's kinda frusterating when you hit this kinda bump in the road. It did say the token was successfully done and what not, and that an email was sent...it's been 2 hours. Still no email. Any news on what's going on with them?
[HTC Rezound] bubblesnout:
Still no news. Got through again trying just now, but no email. That's 4 times I've managed to get through but haven't received any email. This is utter crap.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Same here. No email. Im done for the night will check tomorrow. it would be funny if i got like 17 emails tomorrow
[HTC Rezound] bubblesnout:
2 new posts on the twitter with the same response. I'm not convinced they're actually looking at it, it really shouldn't be a difficult job to get it back up and running.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I got the email!!

I tried and about a min later, i got the email!!! go try now!!
[HTC Rezound] elkay:
Finally got mine to go through. Give it a shot.
[HTC Rezound] suffolk:
HTC SITE #*cks !

I have so many phones here to do and the site is down AGAIN !!!:eek:
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
yeah its like a weekly thing. the "lets just **** with them by shutting down the site!" its alright. itll be up soon. patient young padawan
[HTC Rezound] iGodhax:
Here too.... 2 Phones to do. Bullsh** :D
[HTC Rezound] suffolk:
You can log on but when you click begin unlock bootloader button it does NOTHING !!:confused::confused::mad:
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
is there a way to unlock without htcdev? I've been looking to do this the past three days but get nothing when I click the begin unlock bootloader button
[HTC Rezound] suffolk:
Same here , even tried contacting them, click there support link.....report the issue :confused:
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
just tweeted them, will email them as well
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
just tried with ie instead of chrome, and it worked

now unlocked!
[HTC Rezound] monstermm:
HTCDev having issues at the moment?

Timing out to ping requests for me and treacert looks bad
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
It goes down all the time, I found myself just clicking the button over and over until it worked. I guess Einsteins definition of insanity doesn't apply to computer problems :p
[myTouch 4G General] DonDizzurp:
I just bought an HTC Panache and it came with the bad eMMC and bad screen. WOW the display is noticeably different from my MyTouch4G even when looking straight on.

Anyway, since it is still covered under HTC manu warranty, would I be able to send it in with the request of the new eMMC and the Sony display?

Who should I contact? I sent an e-mail to HTC and they're directing me to some third-party called PCD or something.

Has it worked for you? Should I just call them directly and see if I can talk them into something?
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
I doubt they'll care. You may get lucky, but you better be, like, megaball winner lucky.
[myTouch 4G General] topnomi:
i bought my glacier off craigslist. In rooting with the gfree method, i ended up with a brick that blinks a yellow light (download mode). Tmobile was unable to help me, but i called htc and they took care of it.

I had to pay shipping to them, and i got back the same phone fixed about 2 weeks late i think.

not sure how easy it will be when you have a phone that works but has flaws, my situation was such that the phone was clearly broken, so there was no judgment call by the rep.

i called the htc customer service number here:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/hotline

good luck :D
[myTouch 4G General] DonDizzurp:
maybe i should brick my phone first :D

hope theyd replace the screen too. ill call them tomorrow
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
The bad emmc is a load of garbage. I have been flashing my phone repeatedly for a whole year now with no problems on the bad emmc.
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
Same except for 6 months. I am a flashaholic. So no worries.
[myTouch 4G General] jjbadd385:
I thought I was the only one who felt this way...the data they used to determine it was far from conclusive...not everyone reported when they bricked their phone. I've always felt it was user error, but I could be wrong
[myTouch 4G General] DonDizzurp:
well i just rooted and backed up my nandroid from my mt4g

everything working perfectly, i couldnt care less about the eMMC anymore, i just wont mess with it and crackflash with the mt4g instead

but the screen.. its a HUGE difference compared to the sony display used on my mt4g
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
I do believe that there was a bad batch of emmc chips, but I don't think that all of that batch was bad. I think that only a portion of them are doomed to fail.
[HTC One X] matmar:
Install GPS status from market and clear agps data. Worked for me !
[HTC One X] mbushnaq00:
Can you please provide me with the market link, I really would appreciate it

EDIT: I got it, and cleared the agps data but still the same issue. The wierd thing is that while I stand still, the speed keeps increasing and descreasing at very high number.

I tested another one x and it was far more accurate and stable than mine :( I think mine is defective :S
[HTC One X] Pyung:
Mine is quite amusing it says i'm at home then you will see it move at light speed and place my gps target in a whole other country whilst saying its got 5m accuracy, have tried clearing aps to make no diff
[HTC One X] escalator:
+1: GPS is unusable...
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
The best way to test GPS is to put the phone in airplane mode, turn off GPS, and reboot it. After it reboots then activate GPS. That way it won't be using aGPS (wireless or Wi-Fi) and be relying solely on the GPS chip for location.

Download an app from the Market called GPS Test. When I run it I see the phone's kind of screwy. It sees 16 satellites immediately (excellent) and locks on about half of them (average) but then keeps changing which satellites it's receiving from.

It will get down to 9' in accuracy which is actually very good but it's odd that it keeps shifting satellites instead of staying locked on the ones it has previously identified and read. I set a route in CoPilot using nothing but the GPS chip and it seemed fine; my origin remained stationary. When I go out later I'll actually try using it in the car for a full route.

It's really hard to say whether it's h/w or s/w at this point.

Edit: After doing all the above I noticed I lost a pretty hefty amount of battery. Looking in the battery stats Android OS was the number one battery user exceeding even the display. That's abnormal which leads me to guess the issue is probably s/w.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
What is a "GPS compass", please? (There's no such thing.)

Used GPS for the first time yesterday, for a two hour trip with Sygic maps' 12.1 beta. Worked perfectly the whole way.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
That could be a red herring. A rather large issue has been discovered with the battery stats that it does not go down correctly when the phone is on standby (screen off). When it suddenly realises the true battery status, it plummets to the correct level.
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
Yeah. There is something strange going on with the compass and GPS.

Google Maps has my arrow moving around a lot and also changes direction significantly even when I'm stationary. Not sure what is going on there. There is a certain amount of uncertainty and jitter when using GPS but it should be smoothed out.

I've tried disabling the WiFi/Cell location system and only using GPS but it doesn't affect it. Resetting the AGPS data doesn't help either.
[HTC One X] zekit:
The GPS issue seems to be big and i use GPS and Navigation too often with my phone. Tonight or tomorrow i am getting my One X and i hope they will sort this out sooner.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
That's debatable. I have no noticeable issues when actually moving (even at walking pace), and get an accurate lock. When sitting still, the GPS does show slight motion, but only in the area immediately around my actual point, and even my dedicated GPS receiver does that to a degree. It's a fact of life that consumer GPS doesn't give better accuracy than a couple of yards.
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
I used Google navigation yesterday for a 25 mile trip. No issue. I've not tried it for walking but then I never really use it for that. Maybe I can have a go and report back.
[HTC One X] Demented-Idiot:
I too am noticing an issue with GPS accuracy as detailed in my post here using sports trackers:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599057

Hard to say if its a software issue or hw issue... I havent "Tracked" myself over a long distance so it could be the GPS getting confused with only small changes in distance?

Can someone track themselves on a long-ish road that doesnt have many/any slow moving areas so we can see the accuracy of it?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I'd be curious to know what cases people with problems are using. We've already had one report of reduced wifi range with a third-party case, not beyond the realms of possibility that it could also reduce gps reception.
[HTC One X] mbushnaq00:
Guys, I just replaced my phone yesterday, I have to say the replacement has far more better accuracy than the old one. It seems to be a hardware defect and if you have the same problem then have it replaced asap.

To check, just download speedview, stand still outside with clear vew to the sky, and see how the speed jumps. If its between 0 to 5 and mostly 0 then you have a good unit, otherwise if goes to 20 then 40 and even 220!! then u definitely need to replace the device. I dont think any method u try will resolve this issue cuz its a hardware problem and not software.
[HTC One X] zilmer:
+1: GPS is unusable...

and 1.28 yesterday did not better my gps stability :mad:
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
If GPS is unusable, you most likely have a hardware problem. Get the phone replaced.
[HTC One X] ko0l:
+1 to this as well, the compass isn't working correctly, maps showing me in completely different direction.
[HTC One X] Demented-Idiot:
Got bored and decided to film it.

Makes me laugh

Sitting on my desk right under the window. Nexus one right next to it doesnt do this.....
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
That's funny to watch. Here's what I've found. When you download and view GPS Tracker you can see that the phone's not staying fixed to specific satellites and is instead bouncing around between them. The weaker the signal (indoors) the more it bounces. Outdoors with a clear signal it's fine. But because it's still locking on satellites, even randomly, it still maintains its accuracy. My accuracy indoors is 9' vs. 15' for my SGS2. I haven't compared it to another One X so can't comment on whether they all behave the same way.

You might want to run GPS Tracker on both your One X and GN to see how differently they perform. Also keep in mind that the way GPS works in flight mode (no aGPS support) is very different than when it's using Wi-Fi or a wireless signal. The former is the best way to test the GPS chips function. To really test the GPS chip put the phone in flight mode and then restart it. It'll be much slower to lock (they all are) and the results you'll be seeing are the GPS chip working on its own.
[HTC One X] xdn:
I spoke with HTC customer services and they claimed not to know about this issue... so even if there is the possibility of a software fix, I guess the chances of getting it from HTC via an OTA are slim for the time being.
[HTC One X] dezborders:
GPS test showing VERY stable lock indoors with Maximus 2 Rom (test HTC 2.x firmware) ... Getting full lock on 8 satellites with zero bouncing from one sat to another

Will test with sygic tomorrow and report back
[HTC One X] dezborders:
Don't get your panties damp ladies... GPS with sygic is just as bad in HTC firmware v2 as it is on 1.29 just seems more stable when static or when indoors

GPS speed is still terribly inaccurate with up to +-30 mph
[HTC One X] distortedloop:
How frequent are the 5m jumps happening? This isn't normal unless it's occasional. My good HOX, Gnex, Thunderbolt, SGS2 all are rock-solid no jumps at all in sitting still tests.

There's two tests you need to do to see if your GPS is really fixed or not. Get My Tracks and record a 10 minute track while the phone is sitting perfectly still. Then use My Tracks and go for a one mile walk around the neighborhood while recording a track.

On the sitting still test, your track should be pretty much just a dot and the app should not report any distance travelled or speed bursts. On the walking track, the distance should be somewhere close to actual, the speed should be accurate, the max speed should be humanly possible, and the track shouldn't have you zigzagging all over the place.

You could use any tracking program, My Tracks is just pretty simple to test with. Navigation apps designed for driving are very bad for true accuracy testing. They have "smoothing" features that have them show you on the street it thinks you're on even if the GPS tracking doesn't place you there. You can see this by telling the navigator to give you directions, then when a suggested turn comes up keep going straight. The app will show you making the turn for a brief period of time until you're well past the turn and it figures out you went straight.

Yeah, this is clearly a hardware issue for some of us. Nothing's going to fix it. Sorry, man.
[HTC One X] zellfan8:
Looks like you're right, it is stable in the first few minutes but the longer the test runs, more likely that GPS will bounce. Good things I don't have it jump all over the map but just around the block and I will quickly return to the correct position soon enough, usable for nav and determine my location in the middle of nowhere though.
[HTC One X] dezborders:
I used my tracks app to record a 30 mile car journey home with the hox in same windscreen mount previously used with my dhd ... One interesting thing I noticed was that in addition to occasionally having me drive thru a field, there are point in the journey - lots of them - where GPS lock is lost for a while then re established - this is possibly why sat nav is so bad, it's not just jumping around the area its actually losing satellite lock - sometimes while driving along a straight road in the open countryside with excellent view of sky. See attached.
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
Has anyone tried updating the One X's radio to 2.12.04.119.17 ??

The problem seems to be the WiFi/data signal interfering with the GPS positioning.

So I was wondering if the radio used by WiFi/data is altered to cause less interference.

My phone gets collected for repair on Monday and I've only got a really old spare Nokia, so if the updated radio fixes it I'd rather know before then.
[HTC One X] dezborders:
The 2.05 leaked test Rom I am now,running uses that radio and the GPS issues still exist on affected handsets

I think it's becoming universally accepted that affected handsets have a genuine hardware fault that no software update will ever completely resolve :/
[HTC One X] zellfan8:
So at the end how did the GPS in your HOX do in CM9 ROM and standing still test? Is is comparable to Airplane Mode?

just tried it, don't hold your breath
[HTC One X] zellfan8:
Alright folks, let's try something new. If you have a rooted device, push this gps.conf in /system/etc with ADB or copy there with Root Explorer then Restart the device. I modified the crypted's gps.conf to tell the GPS not to use AGPS.

It fixed sats instantly in clear sky and took 10s to 1 min to stabilize then I got static in standing still test (10mins without any jump) and non-bouncy with a walking test around my block using Google Maps. Locking time is nearly instant, I can't tell for sure (faster than with AGPS on, and 2-3 more sats, meaning that hardware for AGPS really f**k the GPS up somehow). It would be nice to have someone test it on a drive. I guess better solution would be disable the driver for AGPS completely which I don't know how. The GPS module alone is quite fast without any assistance from cellular at all.

IMPORTANT: Go in /system/etc and make a copy of gps.conf to somewhere safe first or even better: make a nandroid backup. So you can put it back if this doesn't work.

Tell me how it goes with your GPS :)
[HTC One X] ChefChaudart:
mine too ... :o
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
You get a tick sheet with the return stuff, so I've included an extra page with a small description and 2 screenshots of my tracks - one with GPS, one with GPS and agps.

Hopefully they'll look into it property.

I don't want repair centre to just check GPS or refresh latest software...
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:
New DOA got this nice GPS

Hi!

My 4:th device now and this one have won the GPS price:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_GwJ0WmVgA&list=UU3JKyGsXZEVtxGVQyIXV_Lg&index=1&feature=plcp

Both poor wifi and unusable GPS, hope thoose guys who designed the affected parts have no jobs after this.
[HTC One X] distortedloop:
I applaud your efforts, but there's no joy here with your patched gps.conf file. Check out build.prop file for completely turning off agps also, some phones have a line or two about agps in the build.prop.

I copied it over, rebooted then set up My Tracks and GPS Status for a static test. It took "forever" to catch the satellites (several minutes at least).

After it finally got a lock, it actually looked promising. In GPS Status the long/lat coordinates where static with 6 sats locked. My Tracks showed an accurate position in my yard, but I noticed the little circle indicating accuracy kept growing and shrinking, but at least the position didn't move. Got my hopes up!

I was going to let it run for 15 mins or so, but I fell asleep, so it ran for about 90 minutes.

The results of the 90 minute static test were horrible. I'm not going to post the screenshot of the track on the map, but it looked like a child's scribbling all over the neighborhood and it had long jumps as far 2 miles away from my location.

Attached is the trip summary. It shows me travelling 211 miles at an average moving speed of 546 mph, maxing out at 666 mph. Apparently I was mountain climbing because I have a 14,624' elevation gain. Time spent moving was 23 mins.

This phone has no SIM card, but was not in Airplane mode. It was wifi-connected to my home network during the test. Since running in airplane mode is not an acceptable solution for me, I won't bother testing that option again.

If I get a chance, I'll run a few phones side-by-side and compare results just to rule out that there was any kind of GPS system/weather influences skewing the results.

Meanwhile, though, I'm sticking with my position that there is no software fix for this is you truly have one of the units with bad GPS. Seems hopeless. I'm going to pack mine up this weekend and ship it off to HTC on Monday, but I'll be happy to test any other ideas you come up with before then.
[HTC One X] ChefChaudart:
I´m afraid that´s what will happen ...
[HTC One X] zellfan8:
Did you restart the phone after you push the conf file in? Maybe go in GPS status and clear any remaining AGPS data left. That's really strange cuz I had dead lock on static test. 0 distance. 0 elevation gain. Maybe also turn your WiFi off (cuz if you're in the middle of nowhere, you won't have WiFi anyway).

I don't like airplane mode either since it is not practical. But if it's still bad make sure you do a test with airplane mode ON to make sure that GPS module alone in your phone works fine. If GPS alone is faulty then disable AGPS wont solve anything.

There is no line for gps for build.prop when I checked.
[HTC One X] dezborders:
Going a long drive tomorrow so will test this out for you, thanks m8

By the way I called my network today (three UK) to report hardware fault in my gps and they called back tonight saying 3s technical handset expert team talked with HTC equivalent team and that htc are still hopeful of a software fix for affected owners. Not sure I believe what I was told lol

Edit 9.35pm... Terrible GPS with WiFi or network enabled (even after reboot and agps clear) but in airplane mode does appear to stay in one place at 0mph - tested with phone on window ledge in house for 10 mins.... Will test properly (airplane mode) on a 40 mile journey tomorrow afternoon
[HTC One X] dezborders:
Just a thought / query....

No matter which network (or cid) your hox handset is setup for, it appears that GPS.conf always is set to use north.america ntp servers. (at least This is true for 3uk and WWE unbranded ruu)

Why would HTC do this? I always use fasterfix app after flashing a custom Rom and select UK optimised ntp servers.

I wonder if north.America servers are always set by default for some important reason ? ( and if we should leave it that way )
[HTC One X] zellfan8:
I think they're just lazy. Have you tried the non agps conf file for static test?
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
I've already tried various servers.doesn't fix the problem.

It's hardware.

If it was software it would happen to everyone and not have varying levels of severity.
[HTC One X] dezborders:
Yes with network / WiFi enabled it's as bad as ever (for me) when stationary my location is changing by up to 1km

In airplane mode when stationary my GPS speed stays mainly at 0mph and location becomes static after about 30 seconds of locking to satellites. That's why I want to test again in car today.

However I tried airplane in the past with standard GPS.conf and it wasn't much different with airplane mode on or off

Will let you all.know results tonight

I may also test restore my original branded 3uk 1.28 firmware for journey home to see if the problem was introduced at 1.29 (but I doubt it )
