I have no issue with live wallpapers on 1.29.401.7

works fine on changing and unlocking screen
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I think you misunderstood the issue. THe live wallpaper works, but when you unlock, or slide the homescreens, it pauses for about 3 seconds before starting again. It should be smooth and continuous and never pause.
[HTC One X] lameazz:
Oh that, mine works fine while sliding screens, just stuck a bit while unlocking, but not with all live wallpapers
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Mine works fine too, the live screen pauses when you touch the screen to swipe, but continues as soon as you let go
[HTC One X] BSmart:
I updated Yesterday.. So gat I'm suprised with the battery usage. Screen seems to use a lot less.. Easily made it though the day :)
[HTC One X] abc27:
That's the bug...
[HTC One X] Bonzo87:
How long was your screen on time?
[HTC One X] nailerr:
I was in on this topic for several days, but have not read the last 30 pages just for this suggestion.

The screen flicker, I saw it a little on mine and it got a lot worse - for a short while - with 1.29 and since appears to have ceased.

However what I wanted to say was that I believe it is entirely software as one of the power saving innovations listed for Tegra 3 is PRISM, where the intensity of colours on in the LCD are adjusted by the SoC in tandem with the back-light to give the same overall image while using less back-light.

Just guessing but since people frequently connect the flicker to specific screen colours it may just be PRISM making mistakes. When I had 1.26 I found a tiny amount of screen flickering whenever the screen was mostly dark and something, for example the 3G I/O icon was animating. The overall flicker of the screen was very much happening along with the animating icon.

Just a thought.
[HTC One X] spykr:
The screen flicker on my phone has had me extremely worried because I assumed it was a hardware defect.

If it's fixed with this update I will piss my pants in joy...
[HTC One X] justbenice:
Any one live in asia have update yet ?
[HTC One X] torespen:
If this is the case, please post a movie of the pissing-your-pants-cermony :D lol

I have no trouble with flickering, but never had much in the first place.. only one time did i notice any flickering.. :)
[HTC One X] evilruck:
Hi guys,

Does someone know where can i get the europe 1.29 RUU?
[HTC One X] twistedh:
Look in the development section.
[HTC One X] dryspuri:
+1 to that

are we having HTC fanboys here or what!! or people who never used android before,

Fact¬¬ Live wallpaper on any android (even entry level) never used to pause while changing homescreen

This is the first time I can see that Phone (topend, quadcore, 1.5 ghz, Nvidia(graphics specialist), tegra( already in prime)) should lag in wallpaper, seriously____ and no one should accept that it pauses when u touch

IT SHOULD NEVER PAUSE PERIOD
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
I went back to stock rom last night just for a hope on update but unfortunately still don't have. Now custom rom again.

Should be there after a week like last time on 1.28 OTA.
[HTC One X] coipu1234:
+1 This is why I use Apex launcher atm cause it really gets on my tits.
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
Anyone know when the UK is getting this update and why it didnt happen at the same time as the rest of Europe?
[HTC One X] zadarr:
Few days ago I got new update. Now I have only problems with my HOX.

Battery life is extremely short (less than one day), my phone is now a significant warmer than before new firmware.

WiFi is not stable anymore...

Only one goot thing about this patch is slightly better benchmark result...

Don't know what to do....
[HTC One X] cityterraces:
Same here i got the 1.28 update im with 3 in the U.K. and all of a sudden my phone is alot warmer. and when downloading it gets even hotter and the phone becoems painfully slow.

odd, i feel like i want 1.26 back or need 1.29 immediatley.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guys the south african region is completely ignored please who ever in the same region give htc some headache

we still didn't receive the 1.28 OTA!!! this is ridiculous, this region runs the same RUU as the european and our CID_016 is inlcuded on the list, its an unbranded WWE international phone!

but HTC is not pushing us any of the updates, 90% of the One X sold in here are south african!

If OTA are pushed in groups then why we still didn't receive the first OTA while the second OTA is already outed!

lets fight discrimination!! :D i already tweeted them but no response
[HTC One X] mikropixel:
Got the 1.29 OTA update in Greece 2 days ago.

Previously never had any problems with screen flickering or Wifi disconnects, the only problem I've been having is really short battery life (max 1h 45m screen time with medium use) and sometimes issues with battery overheating.

Imo nothing changed with the 1.29 update, battery life remains a bit frustrating and I really can't see any better performance whatsoever...

PS: I have an unbranded device
[HTC One X] Megabunny:
1h 45m - thats harsh.

what are your settings.... brightness? wifi + 3G + GPS?
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
He's not the only one. I received 1.28 straight away from 02 UK. Currently waiting for 1.29.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
here, give them hell! the middle east got the OTA much faster lol

https://twitter.com/#!/HTCSouthAfrica

https://www.facebook.com/HTCSouthAfrica
[HTC One X] Clovisius:
I guess Asian country will receive the OTA after 1 weeks.
[HTC One X] mikropixel:
Yep I know it's harsh...especially when I see other users quoting over 2.5 hours of screen time :(

Brightness is manually set at nearly 20%, always on 2G, Wifi/Gps always off and switched on only if needed. Without much interaction with the phone I can get through 1.5 day before I need to plug it again.
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
hold up. there is a new 1.29 update for the One X? i have an unbranded one X and there is no update thats been pushed on it yet
[HTC One X] Goku80:
do you have lockscreen sounds on and touch key sounds on as well mate just out of curiosity
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
It's being pushed out through Europe at the moment, but the UK is the last to receive it as some class us as being solely Brittish not 'European'

It'll more than likely be here next week, as I'm also waiting along with many others.
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
2.5 hours isn't even good.

I get 4 hours screen time right around the 14% battery low warning every time, its like clockwork.

I won't update to 1.29 right away and I'll let others test it before I update.
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
yea i found it strange that its released in europe and UK is not included. what a joke
[HTC One X] ynischa:
Do you think you can tell me exactly how you use your phone? Like apps installed etc. I can get a maximum of 2h with this phone if I don't play any games so I really want to know how people can get 4 hours of usage.
[HTC One X] mikropixel:
Nope, no sounds on lockscreen or touch key sounds / haptic feedback, in fact everything is set to draw as less power as possible
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
What's app, browser and aver DVR viewer take up 2% each below camera in stats.

That's it.

Still 1.28 and auto brightness.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
It is a bit ridiculous. I suppose you can't win them all. Luckily, my phone has no errors I need to be corrected at this moment so don't mind waiting patiently for the update.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
I have heard that the battery has been improved after the 1.29 update. I have yet to hear by how much, or what kind of an improvement?.

Can anyone on version 1.29 clarify? How many hours screen time prior and after the update?

thanks in advance
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Why is everyone so obsessed by the battery life? Surely if it does what YOU need it to before you go to bed it shouldn't matter how everyone else's handset behaves?

I take mine off charge at 7:15am and it lasts until I go to bed (11pm-ish) , which is long enough for me :)
[HTC One X] shadehh:
I honestly haven't really tried to see how long i can make it through the day, but that will be my goal today. I'm just kind of curious to be honest. Just want to know the difference on battery before and after.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Well, I take my phone off and have EVERYTHING on default (auto brightness, sync every hour for all my accounts) and went from 7:15am @ 100% to 11pm @81% last night. Albeit screen use was on 30 mins as I am in work all day BUT I'd say that's quite good (1.28.401.9 btw, not 1.29.401.7 yet)
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Standby on these phones is fantastic, it's the screen that's the killer. But imo it's worth it for the high quality. Better battery life? No HD screen, or big fat heavy phone.
[HTC One X] mikropixel:
Yep, apparently we can't have it all.

@ shadehh

After the 1.29 update I have seen no changes in battery drainage
[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
My battery seems to be bit worse for me. Also sometimes when phone Is locked and I have notification about incoming gtalk message pressing it will do nothing. Then when I unlock phone I can see on opened gtalk conversation.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what i really don't understand is why the phone starts to heat up on battery dropping below 40% makes no sense

just turned off with wifi On and it heats
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
The only real way we will have decent battery life on our phones is when someone in the battery industry wakes up & finally realizes its time for battery tech to catch up.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Battery tech is keeping up. When I bought the DHD on release day, the battery life felt the same as the X. It just wasn't enough. That was a 1250mAh battery, only 18 months ago.

Now I have a thinner, lighter phone, with an 1800 mAh battery. But the battery life is the same as the DHD.

What we need is battery tech to improve faster than hardware tech, but that's never going to happen. Battery life will always be like this, what we need are alternative charging methods. In the future, OTA charging, is all I can see as a final solution.
[HTC One X] TeAm HeX:
is this rootable yet anyone ....soz if this is the wrong place to ask?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
OTA Charging, that would be so godlike. *dreams on*
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
How has this thread turned from a 'Software Update' to talking about a 'Battery'.. You have the most powerful phone in the world, what do you expect with this sort of power..

Anyway, does anyone sorta know when this update will hit the UK? Thanks :cool:
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I asked HTC on fb, I will post back the non helpful reply asap
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Thank-you, at least someone has the incentive!
[HTC One X] Vallhall:
Sadly, no performance boost to games in this new software update. The same stutter as usual
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I have sent a text to a manager at HTC Europe this morning asking if there is any dates being thrown about.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I've not experienced any stuttering in any games :confused:
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
A few people say this sorts their screen out, well I believe it's been confirmed by HTC that they are providing a further update after this one that solves the screen and that this one is purely performance and RGB colour fixes? Hell knows :confused:
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
The only use contacting HTC themselves is for unbranded models as it's rolled out through the IMEI.

Anything which is branded through a network you would have to contact the service provider as the updates are rolled out from their side.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Not necessarily correct, HTC test the update after the carrier puts its customisations in for the simple reason that if bad software is released it reflects badly on HTC.

HTC could come back and say they are yet to test the software which would point to a 2 week waiting que (typically 1 week from start of testing) or if they have finished testing the software it could be any day.

Also it's not through IMEI, its through Serial Numbers and CID. :cool:
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I suppose that's also true.

Been led round in a viscous circle with previous HTC phones and updates. It's either contact HTC which tell you to contact your provider, which then send you backwards.

Half the time I wonder who actually knows the real answer instead of directing it elsewhere.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
It's all bull****, I waited 6 months for Orange to release the Froyo update for my original Desire, only to be stabbed in the back with the release of the Desire HD... :mad:
[HTC One X] Vallhall:
Try GTA maxed out:p. It work almost flawless on my Prime with Tegra 3, and the Prime has more resolution and lower clock than the One X
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
You're not the only one.

My previous provide with the Desire HD was Orange.

I've never experienced such bad service in my life. I felt my life slowly degrading whilst on the phone to themselves. Not to mention the service itself disgraceful.

As of update's for the handsets, half the time they didn't know what the hell it was. I remember mentioning Gingerbread to them for the Desire HD, wondering why it wasn't released yet and other providers had it weeks before.

I got a reponse 'what is gingerbread?' ..
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
To be fair, unless you know Android you wouldn't have a CLUE if someone said 'Where's the Gingerbread update' - they'd think you were mad!!
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
At least someone feels the same way as me! I've never rung up for Software Updates, because the way I see it, they aren't really allowed to tell you when its going to be released but also think about it.. you work for Orange, it doesn't necessarily mean that you ENJOY working with phones. It could just be that you desperately need a job and that that's just one of many that's going? The first thing I'd do if I ever went for a branded phone again, would be to immediately de-brand it.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Agreed.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
It may just be my views but surely you would think to work in that sort of environment you need at least a little more knowledge especially when rolling out updates.

It's like working in IT but not knowing what a PC is.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Regarding live wallpapers bug....

I've wanted this fixed since 1.26, but it seems as though HTC are not listening!

This is part of the OS & should be fixed immediately.

I've used some really old phones with not so great specs, all which managed to run live wallpapers on android without issues.

It should not be stopping at all, period.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Absolutely, but whether they'd know it as GB or Android 2.3 is debatable - training for these sort of things if minimal I'd imagine. It'll be those who have an active interest in their job that'll know the terms
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I only play it maxed out, runs perfectly. Just wish the radar was bigger, or you could change the colour of the waypoints
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Exactly what EddyOS Said.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
You're very much correct in what you say.

It's only users like ourselves who take interest in software,firmware,hardware etc. That provide a difficulty to those unfortunate call center advisors as they have no idea of what we are on about.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I think the problem is communication. I currently study Business Studies and I can tell you that communication is probably the key feature to running a successful business, however I can probably ring up Orange about one issue let's say three times and get a monopoly of answers.

Before purchasing my One X I was told by an Orange representative that I shouldn't buy it from The Carphone Warehouse as they purchase their phones of untrustworthy wholesalers. Yeah, okay. I inspected a phone from the Orange Shop and The Carphone Warehouse, both were made in Taiwan.

Here's something even more interesting though, where I live The Carphone Warehouse & Orange are directly next door to each other and their deliveries come through the front of the shop as they don't have rear access. The guy delivering a batch of HTC's took about 20 out of one box, went next door, and gave about 20 out of the same batch to The Carphone Warehouse.

In the end I bought from The Carphone Warehouse, they seem much more 'in-to' things, everyone that you speak to in store seems to have a good knowledge about phones. The woman that served me must have been no older than 21, looked completely like your average woman not a geek or anything, but she was telling me how she had installed all this custom firmware on her Sensation and how it was so much better.

If XDA was Orange support, there would never be any problems. What takes developers on XDA a day seems to take HTC & Orange months. It feel's good to be part of a community that help's one-another, well, the majority anyway ;)
[HTC One X] Vallhall:
I am on my second One X, and GTA runs like **** maxed out, even my last phone SGS2 runs it much better than the One X.

Have you clocked your One X or changed rom?
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
What Software version are you on :confused:
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I couldn't agree with you more.

It's forums like these which make the community and realising what phones and their software are capable of especially on the development scale. I just joined today realising what use I get out of the forums, reading about all different issues, fixes, custom firmwares etc. Hoping I could be of use at the same time.

My knowledge varies on phones, but is very expansive in IT as I work as an IT Analyst so they aren't miles apart from each other of the software scale.

With Orange telling you where not to buy from, just sounds like the classic business fights. 'Oh don't get it from here we are much better' when in retrospect, you're the exact same but just want my custom.

As for the average looking lady, appearance can be deceptive as we all well know!
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Couldn't have put it better! Welcome to the forums, you WILL enjoy your stay :D
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
Believe me, it's already an interesting journey! ;)

I can't see any CIDs in the update.zip ... Maybe its also flashable for branded devices?
[HTC One X] emmedema:
Hi guys,

I'm a little bit worried....

I am on a Three UK branded phone (network unlocked through code).

I have normal locked bootloader and, of course, no roms installed....

I just checked for OTA update and it said there was finally one so I downloaded it and tried to install.

The phone restarted, the animation with the progress bar completed the installation but now it's been 15minutes that the progress bar desappeared but the phone did not restarted by itself!

The picture of the circling arrows on top of the phone is still visible there....

Shouldn't the phone restart? Should I turn it of or do anything?

What happened??

I'm a little stressed now.....
[HTC One X] Sebby:
in the version.txt it says this 1.28.401.9 CL56522 release-keys
[HTC One X] Vallhall:
1.29:mad:
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Who actually said this is a bug? I see it as a feature, to my mind, that's how they decided it would be and that's how it is.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Just heard back from HTC. This update will be hitting the UK soon. He was travelling and couldn't give me a date right away but said it will be a matter of days at the most.

He also said, as a matter of interest, that the release is done in batches of IMEIs. I only mention that as I can see it has been debated here how the batches work.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Is it normal that the upgrading process take time? it has been more than 10 mins with the green arrows screen :eek:
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
1.29.401.7 RUU is being uploaded at the moment so for those wanting a fresh install you'll be able to get it from the Shipped ROMs thread
[HTC One X] ste1164:
You going to use the RUU or just wait till the OTA?
[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
It is a bug. How can it be a feature? That's why its called LIVE wallpaper. If it doesnt move than its just plain wallpaper.
[HTC One X] bobsie41:
I'll be doing a fresh install. Less chance of inherent bugs.

Feel much safer having this file if i decide to root again too. :D
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
At least we have one advantage with being kept waiting in the UK, that is if there are any glitches with the updates they will have been sorted out by the time we get them.
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I think they've just done it that way to keep sense smooth. I wouldn't call it a bug, a bug is mistaken unwanted behaviour, I think this is deliberate. You clearly don't like it, doesn't make it a bug though.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
No - just no, it's a bug.

Live wallpapers do not stop when changing home screens, what's the point?

Who leaves their phone stationary on 1 home screen to enjoy the live wallpaper..... You would need to remove the idle timeout as you wouldn't even be able to view the full cycle of the wallpaper before your screen turned off.

I'm absolutely shocked that HTC released the phone with such an obvious bug, but to release 2 OTA updates & still not fix this - my confidence is declining.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
remove it from USB
[HTC One X] bobsie41:
It appears that Football is allready in possession of a RUU 1.29.401.8 which he is using as his rom base but unfortunately he won't share it. :(

Updated one hox last night to 29 but today my other one not get 29 just 28...

[HTC One X] salman saso:
my device is 1.28.401.9

and still no update

can I do it manual throw RUU

or should I wait more
[HTC One X] UpSideDownHOX:
Same problem here also on 3, phone very slow and very hot around the camera area.

Think we would be very lucky to see the 1.29 any time soon if it's taken them all this time just to release the problematic old version.

Does anyone know how to unbrand the 3 to genetic European?

Also this last OTA update kept all my data, but if I unbrand & upgrade to latest firmware, is my data safe from being lost?
[HTC One X] Ariozo:
ye, but this one was from same and have exakt same numbers..it is that i think is strange. One get it and the other not :)
[HTC One X] Squirrels:
1.29 isn't much better, I have had my phone do the same thing with it getting hot near the upper part of the phone around the camera and going slower. Battery clocked in at a mean 46.1c but i imagine the area around the camera was hotter.
[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
No sorry. You can't. Has been asked about 20 times and tried even more. Just wait for yours to update. I am in the same boat. Let us know if your get it though.
[HTC One X] H45man:
Anyone notice the bug with clock app? The timer bit when you start the timer and exit then closing it from the recent apps?
