*snore* so back on topic - since changing mine to cdma only I've also been OK so far, this is the first day I've not had to go into airplane mode and back.
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
Yeah this seems to be the best way so far unless we get S-OFF ;)
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Just saw in the ROM collection section that they have the RUU for the 1.28 version of our branded phones now: http://filefactory.com/file/5oih2jx...adio_1.1204.103.14H_release_256494_signed.exe Not my link got it from the ROM Collection Post

Might be a good idea to try flashing this outright on the phones seeing if it makes a difference. Oh and correct me if I'm wrong, but we can't flash back 1.26 because our hboot has been upgraded right??
[HTC One X] thewrench80:
correct the only way will be with s off, and once we have s-off we will be able to put a custom radio on which should fix this terrible signal issue, caus thats all it is, the radio and software management of it, why dont any other HOX users compliain about this???!!!!
[HTC One X] bleary:
All, the 1.28 RUU is out now!

Flash away :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543604

I'm going back to stock now for a while.
[HTC One X] gffmac:
Ive been having the same issue, currently on latest Leedroid 1.29 version. Each day on way to work I get no signal on the train underground which is normal but once i return above ground I have no signal till I restart my phone (I didnt realise I could switch airplane on and off to get it back on). Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Sadly, it looks like the only way we are going to get any further updates from 3 is if we unlock our device or if some how we magically get S-Off. Got a response from Three regarding the issues we've had on this thread and the gist of it goes "no dates announced as yet for any future updates at the moment I'm afraid".
[HTC One X] Digi421:
I was with O2 for about 4 years but since my friends and my girlfriend are all on Three I switched. Needless to say on my old HD2 on O2 I never had any issues, but the HOX on Three is just rubbish. I get no signal at all at work (and that's right next to the Farnborough airport) and once the signal is gone, I have to reboot to get a signal back (switching airplane mode on and off again doesn't work). At home the signal is sort of semi-ok, I get between 0 and 2 bars.

I agree it's my fault to go with Three, should have stayed with O2.

But there are major issues that Three/HTC need to resolve before I would consider the HOX as verstatile/reliable as the HD2.

1.28 was the worst upgrade I have ever seen in a phone, it totally screwed up my phone. On 1.26 it was fine, no flickering. Now with 1.28 I get flickering all the time and the phone is much less smooth than it was on 1.26.

I would go back but since the bootloader has changed, it's impossible to downgrade and from what I've read unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty.

For the time being I'm on LeeDroid, but issues remain.

Battery life is abysmal (I have to recharge during the day even though I have no network connection aside from WiFi and not using the phone at all. Though that's another issue, most of my battery goes to Android OS; by far, about 80%).

I love the phone and wouldn't switch it for a SGS3, and I don't know enough about Android to know who to blame, but in this state/with this provider the phone is utterly useless to me :(
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
I found that the 1.28 update fixed my signal issues on Three. Whereas with my previous Desire S, I would have signal, with the HOX I wouldnt… until the update that is. I was however using the handset on WCDMA only most of the time.

Anyhoo…. due to other issues with Three…. ie the lack of a 2g network to fall back on properly and the amount of time it would take to go from 2g (orange) back to 3g (three) which could be anything up to 20 mins, even in a good signal area for Three.

Im now in the process of porting my number from Three into Everything Everywhere which should happen tomorrow. Its gonna cost me £400+ to cancel the Three contract, thats how bad I saw the problem but the sale of the iPhone4s that I got with T-Mobile will pay for that.

Steve
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
same here, Three is rubbish....

About your battery drain, that is caused by signal too. As the phone loosing the signal and trying to get back that is where you loosing your power !!! I had a same issue at my work place and when I was carrying the phone all day in pocket it was without the signal most of the day and I've lost 80-90% in about 9-10 hrs !!

Than I found if I leave my phone on one place where the phone have some signal without loosing it the batt is OK and in same time period I loose more than 70% less than before

We all should pray for S-OFF for HOX or open a petition to HTC and Three UK !!!!

:cool:
[HTC One X] graemeg:
Im on 3 in the uk, having similar issues with data drops and poor tethering latency issues, again im unbranded unlocked, after a conversation with 3 customer support i was informed that some of the settings for the 3 network differs in the prop file compared to an unbranded generic HOX and was advised to flash a 3 rom, only problem is, we cant because of s-on.

Ive asked one of the cooks if he can take the three 1.28 and cook it to a zip to install via CWM, then if it all goes to plan i shall try it.

It wouldnt suprise me, i have noticed some differences regarding bands for the hox in the prop compared to a similar android 3g phone, so maybe he is right, maybe not.

I always read an interesting article earlier about HTC and ics and their intentions to stamp out wifi tethering on ICS, this could explain tethering and wifi issues in general, but i dont see how they could do that as some carriers like 3 do all you can eat data, which im on, and on that plan tethering is allowed, so surely in general HTC couldnt do that unless a carrier requested for tethering disabled in their branded phones lines.
[HTC One X] holygeesus:
As someone else mentioned this is likely a hardware problem as I too had it occurring on my previous handset but my new replacement doesn't do it. If you can swap your phones out.
[HTC One X] vj4:
Three are ok!

Ok so i've been on 3 for about 3/4 years. Signal isn't the best i fully expect to lose signal when im in the middle of nowhere. But day to day on the south coast its fine. I get a d/l speed of about 10mb on my mobile connection with 2/3 up :D. I too have seen the disconnection issues. It has only started since i flashed leedroids latest rom and kernal. Untill then all was well. Mine is a three branded device with HTC's idea of root.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Having the same issues on Three branded HOX, it was better with the 1.26 than the 1.28.... I get about 12hrs max with hardlly any usage before the battery goes to about 3-4%!

On top of that I have realised I have the screen flex issue and creaking on the left side....

Very disappointed in HTC and Three basically for the software and hardware issues.
[HTC One X] shrubz:
Since I have got my replacement I have had no trouble with it at all. If you've got issues with the hardware then I would sent it back, assuming you haven't unlocked it!!
[HTC One X] Daveyg99:
Had a problem with Signal on a T-mobile HOX 1.28.9 , the phone dropped all connections to the network changed the sim to see if that solved it. didn't. The HOX would not connect to both orange or T-mobile, I tried to force the phone to t-mobile and it errored saying that the device could not be registered on the network same with orange.. anyway after a day of intermittent connections; mostly no connection T-mobile are now replacing the handset tomorrow.
[HTC One X] ahmadcentral:
I'm on my third replacement and have no issues with signal.

I had the signal issue a couple of times on my first one.
[HTC One X] TheBogBrushZone:
I'm currently in the middle of Woking and getting such a poor quality of service from Three that it's ludicrous. I have 4 or 5 bars of signal and it's falling back to UMTS (3G) constantly and when it's on HSPA+ I'm still getting almost no bandwidth except for the occasional burst of up to 4Mbit/s. It's never been exactly stellar here but seems to have got significantly worse each time after both the 1.28 and 1.29 upgrades (unlocked handset) although I didn't have any more luck when I moved the SIM to an iPhone 4S or when I tried to use a PAYG broadband dongle and SIM.

I also got the failure to reconnect problem yesterday and ended up having to reboot the phone because switching to airplane mode seemed to be taking forever.
[HTC One X] ahmadcentral:
WHY! WHY DID I POST THIS!

Well i've started having the problem again now as i went to a low signal area today. Signal dropped out and wouldn't come back on. Had to reset airplaine mode 4 times in around an hour.
[HTC One X] Aratheba:
The more I read, the more I'm convinced it's not an hardware problem but rather a software one.

Let's hope in a radio firmware upgrade to solve such an issue.
[HTC One X] shrubz:
I have removed Three UK from the title as this problem seems to exisit on all networks.
[HTC One X] ottaky:
After a couple of weeks I'm happy to report that this appears to have cured my connection problems. I have tasker monitoring my connectivity and reporting the status via the notification bar, and I've not seen a single alert since changing to "WCDMA only".

This is with a stock 3 phone in London.
[HTC One X] 007xico:
Switched from Galaxy s2 to Hox and in general Hox is better,

but there are some faults that in my case are:

wi-fi

screen flicker

This two seem to be fixed with 1.29 update.

But my major problem is the signal loss and call quality.

Tried two networks Talkmobile (vodafone) and i am now on Tmobile-Orange, always with the same problem

in call quality is crap

compared to Samsung Galaxy s2.

People use to say where are you it is so clear but now is i can't hear you so i have to move and the calls sometimes have noise on the background :mad:

Does anyone knows if 1.29 fixes this problem?

Is noise cancellation on by default?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] holygeesus:
Ha ha exactly the same here. Has to be software related
[HTC One X] djaidyc:
Am on 3 UK and my phone loses signal and won't reconnect about 4 times a day,I've asked HTC dev and HTC UK (on Facebook) if there's any planed software update to fix the problem but haven't had any response yet.
[HTC One X] datta.ca:
I am currently in HK and my HOX has a strange issue. When I am connected to wifi & Monile n/w as GSM/WCDMA and move out of wifi range phone gets stuck to GSM (2G) mode even though 3G i.e. WCDMA network is available. I need to go manually in mobile networks then choose WCDMA mode so that I can connect to 3G.

Is anyone facing this issue?
[HTC One X] chaict:
There are some issues on radio where sometimes stuck on it with no in/out call or connection. I ironed out this problem when I installed cm9 rom 0012. HTC needs to look seriously into their software.
[HTC One X] l1nuxfre4k:
Yup the radio "hangs", stay out of low signal areas;)

They probobly already know and working on it.

Desire had similar issue at launch.
[HTC One X] Smith2001:
3 home hub

Well it's taken 6 weeks from reporting that I don't get signal at my weekend home address. They kept having mast upgrades and faults that added 4 weeks of delays.

Finally got my 3 home hub!

Also not had loss of signal and no auto connect problems since using wcdma only mode.
[HTC One X] ottaky:
Is that some kind of femtocell?

If so .. I could do with one those - how did you go about getting one?
[HTC One X] glukosio:
my hox sometimes lose connection but then it reconnect in few seconds... i don't know why, it seems like i take off sim and push in it again
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
happened to me before the 1.29 update for t-mobile, and also happend to me because i cut my own sim into a microsim and cut it too small
[HTC One X] Smith2001:
Called the network problems team and said it was always zero unless I held my phone near a window. I they pass it along after arguing according to their systems it should work. I explained the walls are old and thick and that's stopping the signal. They finally relented. And yes its a femtocell
[HTC One X] oOzzy`:
I did not read very much into this thread, but I guess I've got a simmilar issue:

My data connection keeps switching from h to 3g and vice versa. It is kind of annoying. Is this a hardware issue or software?
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
That's normal. It'll only show H when it's downloading data
[HTC One X] ottaky:
Cool. I didn't realise that 3 could provide femtocells. I get VERY poor reception at home - there's generally no reception at all and, vary rarely, enough signal for the phone to receive an SMS or to ring for an incoming call, but without enough signal to actually hear what the other person is saying. To be fair, I live on a hill and the reception is very poor for everybody regardless of which service provider they use.

I just called 3 and they're going to get 2nd line support to call me back within the next 5 to 7 days. I won't hold my breath ;-)
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Same problem here but dunno if it's not rom related...using pkm 5.0

I never had this with Leedroid
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
I had a somewhat similiar issue - phone showed it was having a signal, data was connected, but it was not possible to call and no data were transmitted.

After a while it switched 3G->2G (and later back to 2G->3G) and it was good for a while, then it went crazy again.

Since my radio ROM is from 1.29 RUU and MIUI has 1.28 radio RIL, I installed 1.29 radio update (1.1204.105.14L in my case - you should match it to what is shown in HBOOT) AND a 1.29 kernel. At that moment all issues were gone, phone is noticeable more stable, no data issues, wifi stopped disconnecting and it looks like it is charging much faster (from USB anyway).

All custom kernels use 1.28 as a base, I guess something is screwed in there.

Long story short, try this:

1) make sure you applied the latest RUU for your region

2) go into bootloader, note your radio version

3) download and install the same version RIL from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1689679

4) install stock 1.29 kernel (you can try other kernels, but for me it was only fixed after doing all of the above including stock kernel)

let me know if it also solved problems for you...
[HTC One X] 007xico:
I am on T-mobile and when at home (where the signal is weak due to walls/ground floor,etc) the signal keeps switching to no signal and back again.

I believe this is a signal and not the phone, so i was thinking to buy a booster/repeater, as T-mobile doesn't have a sure signal, they only have cel-fi thing but it costs a fortune :eek:

So i am looking for a booster but i am confused with the frequency, and my questions are which should i buy?

Signal booster for 3G / UMTS / WCDMA 2100Mhz .

2100MHz means 3G networks of WCDMA .

Will calls get better with this one or it is only for 3g?

or

1800MHZ Mobile/cell Phone Signal Booster Repeater

Thanks and sorry for the English.
[HTC One X] gunswick:
I have this issue with Vodafone UK.

In low signal areas the radio will hang and not reconnect if it loses signal, you have to turn on airplane mode and then turn off airplane mode to get the signal to reconnect.

At my work its bad signal so I have to do this 5 times a day... :(

must be a software issue
[HTC One X] twe69:
I have noticed that a case on the phone will reduce the signal quality even more, so am tempted to use it without a case and just a skin.
[HTC One X] nascio:
i've called htc and said it to him.

They knew this BB problem, they're working to release a new baseband fixed.
[HTC One X] shrubz:
Has anyone else noticed that it never seems to use 3G, only H. It will sit there idle on 3G but as soon as you use the Internet it changes to H.

I am a newbie in this forum and would need some help to unbrick my tablet.

I have been using leaked ICS in the past 2 weeks or so. This morning when I started using the tablet, it was running VERY slowly. I rebooted it but it was stuck at Android screen for more than 30 mins. Running out of patient, I restarted it 1 more time and it can now only get to the Acer screen no matter how long i waited.

Tried a few things already with no success:

1. Hard reset using the pin hole bottom left - nothing changes

2. Go to recovery mode trying to use the HC rom (rename to update.zip) using volume up button. Once the green droid shows up for a few seconds, it turns into a droid lying down with a red exclamation mark. It will then restart itself after 30 seconds or so.

What's going on with my tablet? Any help would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cityhunter_:
Any help??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
Cant use HC ROM...

As long as you are not BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED you can use a regular UPDATE.ZIP for your device... You cannot "DOWNGRADE" that is, you cannot go from ICS to HC again without some form of "hack" or "workaround" :eek:

See if your tablet allows you to re-flash the ICS build you were able to update to and post back... It may just be it corrupted some files... :confused:

Let us know... jejeje :D

UPDATE 1: And... Dont use VOL+, its supposed to be VOL-.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
lol...vol+ if your like me and boot to recovery in portrait :-P
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cityhunter_:
I tried the vol - button (the one farther away from the orientation lock button), it seems like the tablet was not doing anything different at all. It will eventually get stuck at the Acer screen.

If i use the vol + button (the one closer to orientation lock button), it shows the text "Booting recovery kernel menu" in Acer splash screen. It will then go to green Droid screen with a spinning sphere. In less than 5 seconds, it seems to fail to boot into recovery menu with a 'dead' droid with a big red exclamation mark.

These are the update.zip file I found in the forum. They all gave me the same error:

Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip

Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1.zip

Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1.zip

Any more help? I can get upload a video to Youtube if it helps.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
HOME Button?? Maybe??

When you get to the GREEN ANDROID... click on your HOME button and see if you get a bootloader/recovery type menu at the top left... If you dont get it from the GREEN ANDROID, try thesame (HOME button) while the RED DEAD ANDROID is showing...

When mine did that for a bit, I found there was a "hidden" recovery built in... Again, try to go to recovery and press the HOME button... You may have to press it for a few seconds...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cityhunter_:
Thanks for the pointer! It now shows a lot more information (while the sad Android with red exclamation mark is in the background)

I can scroll down/up using volume button for these options:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

At the bottom of the screen, it is showing a whole bunch of yellow text:

E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

(No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

(repeat the above message for /cache/recovery/log, /cache/recovery/last_log, /cache/recovery/last_install

How can i select an option from this menu, btw?

I also tried to use the vol - button. I found that if i keep flipping orientation lock back and forth, it will show 2 messages at the top left corner showing "Erasing Userdata...Erasing cache..." in the Acer splash screen. Then it will freeze again....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
PWR button to select

Make selection with Vol+/- and press PWR button to select... See if you can do a factory reset...

"

Or put the UPDATE.ZIP into your microSD and see if it lets you select the "Update from ZIP" message
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cityhunter_:
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything. If i press it long enough, it just shuts down the tablet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
I dont know man... I cant get mine to there because I have the unlocked bootloader now... Have you tried either of the volume buttons... maybe the HOME KEY? that may be it...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cityhunter_:
I tried every single buttons on the device w/ no success. The home button only hide/unhide all the text. Vol +/- can scroll up/down in the menu. Pressing the power button doesn't work at all.

In the system recovery screen, it has the yellow text complaining about /dev/block/mmcblk0p5. Is there anything i can do with this?

It looks like I am running out of ideas to revive my lovely tablet. Is it time to throw it to a trash can?

Some people are trying to do it through APX mode but it can be difficult if you don't have certain info specific 2 your tablet...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
After looking at the files he posted, its just mine with some stuff ripped out. It will not fix the OP's brick. Or, honestly, any true brick, like those that run laggy, then after a reset, never start. What it WILL work on is getting recovery back into the system, which some report CAN fix the no selection bug in stock recovery, however he supplies TWRP, and still relies on fastboot to flash it, hence the unlocked bootloader being needed. A locked bootloader, it won't flash recovery anyways, but even if it did, it wouldn't boot it.
