They will, carphonewarehouse have a price promise, if you can show them the deal they will match it.
[HTC One X] davidktk:
I suppose Three Ireland are the same? I'll have to wait for the 'next one'!
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Their radio adverts say that they will!

I bought mine PAYG from Three and then SIM free from CPW.

Give them a try.

[HTC One X] TremF:
Mine is an upgrade so I can't just take back and buy from CPW unfortunately?

I just rang 3 technical dept. again and they haven't a clue about the update and if/when they might release it. I don't know whether to cancel the contract and go to CPW for another 3 contract (The One plan is too juicy) or just unlock and flash another Rom onto this one.

One things for sure... I do love this phone - the look and feel and how smooth it can be most of the time. I don't want anything else currently and I want to stick with Tegra 3 so my phone and tablet can take advantage of any apps/games I get :)
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Looking at their website they only match the network's online shops - I got mine through a 3rd party and cpw dont do the one x on three's 'one plan'

I paid 120 for the phone and got the one plan for 25 a month.
[HTC One X] M3PH:
Err, i'm on 3 UK through carphone warehouse and when i got my phone on friday the OTA was waiting to be installed.

What i would do is take the phone back to the 3 store, cancel the contract and walk over to CPW and get a generic WWE handset from them on the same plan.
[HTC One X] TremF:
huwwatkins just said CPW don't do the One Plan but I suppose I could get the best contract CPW offer and then upgrade to the One Plan by ringing 3?
[HTC One X] M3PH:
That would work. CPW don;t actually handle the account so once you have the device you can do what you want with the plan :D. I personally don't need the amount of minutes and texts that the One plans provides so i'm happy
[HTC One X] Goku80:
do what i did...just unlock your bootloader and flash one of the custom roms that is available out there....i could not wait any longer so i just flashed ARHD and i have never looked back. phone is bloat free and battery so far is not bad either...could not be happier...that is how i use to do my upgrading in firmware for s2 and doing the same here as well..best way really to be up to date. well for me anyway...if i had an unbranded phone it would of been different...but being branded and on contract flashing custom roms and updating that way is the only way for me really
[HTC One X] warpkid:
Just tweeted them to confirm, as I had asked them about a week ago and they informed me they were testing the update for release soon.

They have since seemingly changed their mind and do appear to be working on the 'next' update.

https://twitter.com/#!/ThreeUK/status/194699747829874688

@warpkid We've concentrated on the next update which will be available in May, it's in testing at the mo + will improve battery life.

I guess it must take a while to bundle all your junk into the ROM. God knows what I'd do without Autotrader, HRS Hotel Search, Amazon, Ebay, Facebook (etc etc etc) and a suite of three apps.

If I had the option I would purchase from a third party EVERY SINGLE TIME to avoid carriers dumping junk into ROMS and slowing up updates. Google and the OEM's need to work on this. Imagine if 1.28 contained a critical security flaw. Would we have to wait weeks while Three injects their useless bloatware into it? Hmmpphh
[HTC One X] daven:
Tweeted them last night, got a reply this morning:

Daven Raithatha ‏ @davenraithatha

@ThreeUK Which update are you working on? 1.28 from 1.26 for later?

ThreeUK ‏ @ThreeUK

@davenraithatha We are testing version 1.28.771.9 this week.

Panic over?
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Completley inconsistant :D
[HTC One X] warpkid:
Just had another update from Three, which seems to counter what HTC have said about battery life and updates.

@warpkid We’re rolling out a better version than 1.28 which will significantly improve battery life along with other things. It's due in May
[HTC One X] tsleng:
The CS at Three will not know anything. They are reading off a script.

We can just wait and see. If you are having serious problems with your handset, it will be nothing the update can fix so go exchange or return.

Mine is working well so not really in a rush. :P
[HTC One X] warpkid:
Reading from *different* scripts though?

I'm not in a mad rush either as the phone is running OK. However, I don't want a precedent to be set whereby Three pick and chose what updates they release and everyone is OK with that.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2012/04/htc_one_x_battery_life_boost_landing_may_on_three/

Looks like 3 will be getting an update soon. I assume there is a reason they didn't release 1.28.
[HTC One X] goulies:
Is there an artical written for every thread on xda?
[HTC One X] vodka_redbull:
Has anyone been told anything new by Three support about the update they are working on?
[HTC One X] daven:
Lol. I the fact that they stated the version number as 1.28.771.9 reassured me slightly though

Time will tell I guess, hopefully next month sometime
[HTC One X] paul_59:
My HTC One X was bought from a Three UK store, unlike it's predecessor my DesireHD which came unbranded, the One X has 3 branding.

I have just received notification of Ota upgrade I accepted the download and it installed Android version 1.28.771.9
[HTC One X] Argosious:
Over the air update from Three UK

Just got my update to ver 1.28.771.9 over the air from Three :) Now the ring on the welcome screen is silver, i rather liked the green one :(
[HTC One X] adamgaltress:
I got this update today and I could have sworn it said it was to 1.29 when I accepted it but after installation it seems it is 1.28
[HTC One X] TremF:
Thanks for the heads up. Downloaded and installing now :)
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Well - to be fair. Two weeks after the non branded phones isn't that bad really.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
No, it is a bloody lifetime!!!! :D
[HTC One X] vodka_redbull:
I ain't complaining. Result!
[HTC One X] TremF:
How long does it take to install? Mine seems to have been showing the phone with three green arrows above for a while now. Will it be safe to try and turn the phone off then back on again?

Edit: lol I had it on charge... updated now :)
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
I just updated via 3 ota..
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Not bad seeing as three said they wouldn't be releasing the 1.28 update, lol.
[HTC One X] adamgaltress:
The same thing happened to me.. it took me two hours to figure it out :p
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Haven't had much chance to play with the phone after the update but first big thing I notice is an increase in signal, or at least, more bars on the signal display anyway.

Good to see we have an update at last anyway, seems like some good has come of it.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
The signal definitely seems stronger. It seems less laggy too.

Not had any screen flicker since installing but it's not gone down to the lower brightnesses yet.

I wonder what is different with this compared to 1.28.401.9.
[HTC One X] adamgaltress:
I still get the flickering
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Woo so they was rumours :) .....

Ha did use not read before installing, it said don't have it on charge during installation :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] marifat:
Got the OTA update yesterday. Software Version 1.28.771.9. It went quite smoothly as you would expect from a OTA update took abt 10-15 min to do the update on the system. Tip: kill all running apps, make sure you got a good signal and got a good data plan with Three then run the update.

The signal has definitely improved compared to what it was. Haven't browsed & used the camera extensively yet to see if the flickering still occurs. Will update my findings later.

[HTC One X] dasiki:
The Three branding and that's it I think. I think the stock unbranded ROM was 1.26.401.# and branded 1.26.771.# though I could be very wrong.

Its a bit of a joke to be honest that we get the older update as unbranded handsets get the next one.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Would have been more of a joke if we were two updates behind though ;)
[HTC One X] dasiki:
Very true, I just hate the bullsh*t they spout, like this series of tweets completely contradicting themselves, this is one conversation:

ThreeUK: "The HTC One X update (1.28.771.9) is now available via Kies, improvements include increased battery life."

Other Guy: "you do realise the 1.29 update is currently making its way around europe for the one x? And 1.28 did not improve my battery"

ThreeUK: "We do indeed, and we never pushed 1.28 out on our network as the improvements weren't significant enough."
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Keis is the samsung update software is it not?
[HTC One X] dasiki:
It is indeed, they got that wrong too although they quickly spotted and edited it.

ThreeUK: We pushed out 1.28.771.9 rather than just 1.28 :)
[HTC One X] studentu05:
No improvement on my phone...

I ve updated today to 1.28.771.9 and can't see any improvement at all.No signal imrovement no battery impruvement.I live in a area with very poor network coverage and I would have seen if it was an improvement but wasn't.

The battery it seams to me or dyes quicker....??!?!?very strange....very disapointing....

One thing goos in this is that the Sense does not crash when I close the web browser.

I ve read somewhere that The carrier is expected to release the latest software version 1.29.401.7 as well......
[HTC One X] ricker666:
Has anyone had the same problems i've suffered since updating to this last night...

Using Spotify, Pocketcasts and YouTube in particular, but also occasionally with Google Play Music, the phone freezes and reboots. Any audio/video seems to trigger it and it usually takes a few times of this for it to start working.

Worked fine prior to the update...

Bootloader is unlocked, and prior to updating it was rooted and cwm touch flashed. The update wasn't taking so i unrooted and restored the stock backup ROM i'd made and eventually ended up flashing it from cwm recovery. The update took, but since i've had these issues and my cwm touch seems to be gone, i can't boot into recovery anymore.

Any ideas?
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
I think the update has made some good improvements and feels alot more stable.. also think there some more work to do and not really tested and cant judge the battery on first day of firmware update, but .... am happy so far and cant wait for 1.29... anyone know what 1.29 actually improves ?
[HTC One X] marifat:
Ok back with some results... I can confirm now that the update has really improved things... my signal before update was 1 bar and most of times nothing at all. After update constant on 2 sometimes 3 bars. Batterylife depending on usage, no different than any other phone I guess. With my DHD I used to charge it twice a day and with the HOX I'm doing the same, that's cause I'm always browsing the net. I have noticed that at home it takes longer to fully charge the battery compared to the DHD and it will only allow you to use the normal phone charger, it refuses to charge using your car charger with wallplug adapter. Whilst driving I noticed that I can only use my car charger if I'm not using the phone at all. Otherwise I start getting error messages saying not sufficient power to charge the phone. Glitches seem to have disappeared.

Oh forgot to mention that my email accounts are still not automatically refreshed until you open the account, even if you have set it up as 'push through' or 'check for email every 5min'. Which is very very annoying. I was facing that same problem with the previous HOX they sent me as well. And now with a new handset I noticed before & after the update this email issue still hasn't been resolved. It works fine on my DHD with the same setup. Im not sure whether they are aware of this at HTC or even 3UK. Is there anyone else having this problem?

[HTC One X] marifat:
Back again as funny as it sounds since the hard reset my data connection has become unstable and keeps disconnecting frequently and won't reconnect unless I either reboot or go into the plane mode on the phone, as the mobile network widget doesn't always work as is it suppose to... I used to be able to switch that on & off whenever I thought it was needed to refresh the data connection, but now that doesn't even want to switch of any longer until I go into the actual settings and switch of the mobile network data connection that way.

Clearly this latest update hasn't done much to improve things. Does anyone know if HTC is dealing with all this?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postwick:
I searched through the forums here and didn't find anything helpful. Probably because it has been a long time since 2.3 came out.

I have a stock Froyo Evo 4G (rooted). I would like to move up to 2.3.x

I find many sites online with instructions on doing it, and downloads, but I don't trust any of them. I only really trust what I read here at XDA.

That being said, can someone point me to instructions to do the update?

Also...what will I lose from the phone?

How do I re-root afterward?

When I use the phone to look for the system update it finds nothing, so I need a link to download the file(s) necessary.

Thanks in advance, I know I'm way behind the curve but my job just started using Office 365 with Lync, and it doesn't support 2.2.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Do NOT take an OTA update if you are rooted. Every single guide for rooting tells you this.

That being said, if you want to stay stock, fine the stock rooted GB rom in the stickies in the Dev section. Make a nandroid backup in recovery, then wipe everything, then flash. You will not lose root as long as you flash a rooted rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postwick:

your don't need to unroot or anything. Backup whatever stuff you wanna keep with Ti Backup or mybackup root. Wipe caches and data and flash ROM.

I think you may wanna update radios, too. Update to at least the 11.19 radio. All radios are available in Calkulins thread in dev section. I would say update radio first, but maybe someone else can chime in on if that really matters.

But, you don't need to unroot, reroot, blah blah blah. Just flash updated ROM. When updating radio, do NOT interrupt the flash. It's about the only thing that can truly brick your phone.

Bro here's the best advice I can give you I'm gonna give you two roms that I stand by as the most stable

First of all if you still want sense on the evo and want 2.3 download mikg rom v3 go to themikmik.com and go to the evo section and there will be a lthread that says update 3.11 its in v3.xx forum. There will be a download link and download the one that's not the update version after that follow normal flashing rom procedure.

Now if you want pure gingerbread then I would go to cyanogenmod.com and go to evo and go to stable release and click on the newest one download and flash there are tons of helpful forums on flashing roms if anything reply and ill walk you through... Enjoy bro

You should get a cheap Android phone until the SGS3 comes outs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Or you could manually flash it via nvflash. Use a recovery from and it should override the errors. I don't remember the link. Look through g2x development and find a stock rom as well as the nvflash commands. Its usually:

Nvflash.exe --bct (insert bct file) --bl (insert boot loader file) --download 5 (insert cwm disk image)

Its easier to drag and drop. Your bootloader should be a bin file. Once that's done, you should be able to boot into CWM and allow you to flash the rom. If that doesn't work look through Q&A or maybe general and you should find a lot of unbricking posts.

Good luck
