So i woke up to the 1.29 update today, with hope....

but the FLICKERING IS NOT GONE.

They changed the LCD DENSITY and the phone looks retarded now, everything is HUGE. :mad:

They are really desperate.

Did did not fix the Email text size though so emails are showing up even bigger now, oh god....

How do i change the LCD density without rooting?

This is just getting worse by the day

Btw: Close your eyes after using the phone on full brightness : you can see the flickering still , similar to closing your eyes after looking at a bright light or camera flash.

Good going HTC. Give me a god damn new phone!!!! :mad:
[HTC One X] justbenice:
hi. could you please tell me extraclly how did you get an update ? Everytime i want update i have to lock bootloader and run the EXE ruu file then wait for update.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
if you are on custom firmware you can't update your files are different and you mess things up if you force the update, either remain custom and wait for your Rom dev to include the changes ur go back to stock

anyone with a cid__0016 can tell me when do we usually receive the OTAs ?
[HTC One X] H377:
Yes, unfortunately flickering is still there but I don't understand the LCD density stuff. I don't notice anything.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't flash it manually

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Why not stop *****ing and exchange your handset. There's clearly something wrong with it
[HTC One X] joningi:
Me neither... think he needs a new phone. I've never experienced the flickering! You guys should get it replaced!
[HTC One X] lukemo:
I relocked bootloader, flashed stock recovery, reinstalled stock europe Ruu but I'm not getting in italy the OTA update...yesterday other people in italy received it...any hint? I've onlu to wait? I would like to update modem before installing ARHD 5.0
[HTC One X] atesszan:
I sent PM for you!:D
[HTC One X] HaTeC:
They won't exchange it you dim-wit, you think i enjoy using a faulty phone?!!!
[HTC One X] TheAshaman:
I can't open the Mail App anymore it FC on me.

When I try to sync the Mail Accounts from the Accounts page Mail FC as well. I can't remove the accounts it says "This account is required by some apps" and that I should do a factory reset.

Anyone have a good idea how to fix it? Or do I really have to wipe the phone?

EDIT: I use Exchange and Imap Accounts.

EDIT2:

Working again. Diabled the APP and cleared the data and then put in the accounts again.

My live wallpaper performance is perfekt! No freezes at all :) But I am using Apex Launcher...
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Use the online HTC chat to confirm that its faulty - then send a screenshot of that chat to your retailer -that might help move things in the right direction.

Failing that send it to HTC for repair - someone on here did that and HTC sent back a replacement handset.
[HTC One X] puukhii:
Is this update improve the battery life ? Thanks
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Why not? You're within your rights to exchange the handset for a new one. I'm you're saying you're not then I'd be getting some legal advice...
[HTC One X] Colincompagny:
Something funny look at your task manager

After successfully update my htc one x. If you go under Task manager, you will see that on the top of your screen,where the cross is, there will be 'TAIWANESE / CHINESE Language" :)

Once again, we shall get another update soon to fix that.

Havent seen another default on it yet.. will keep it posted!
[HTC One X] HaTeC:
I got a repair slip here since they won't replace it.

I don't intend to go without a smart phone or phone line for 2-3 weeks.

Will the HTC chat thing work?

They will just say that it's not the local HTC department and that the local laws are different blah blah blah...
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Hi

I dont know what country you are in (im in the uk). A few people were having returns rejected from the retailer I used and getting this confirmation from HTC helped things along.
[HTC One X] Hawk19:
It's possible to flash via recovery ?

Because when I tried, I have error (no such file) when I tried to select Update from external storage... (PTT signature error)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
No, and I've said this 3 times in this thread now...
[HTC One X] face026:
nope... they didn't. neither the yellowish color of photo's when using the flash.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Lets keep it on topic. There are separate threads for faults and replacements.

What I'm interested to know is what does this update fix.

One person mentioned no more problems with live wallpapers?

Any new interesting files spotted in the package?
[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
My Swype keyboard seems to be shrunk a bit...
[HTC One X] Hawk19:
Oki, thanks you ;)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Officially, no one knows as HTC never release a changelog...however, we have a new kernel and radio but still HBOOT 0.94. WiFi dropping is meant to be fixed and that misplaced apk that was meant to help with battery has now been removed

Other than that you might not actually notice anything
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
this happens every now and then on my phone too. Go to Apps, locate the Swype app, and force close it. Open an app with a text field, and you will get the HTC Sense input again. pull down notification bar, select input method and choose swype again. If it's not fixed, repeat process (it took me a few tries).
[HTC One X] ef1x:
Battery is a bit improved as far as i can see, probably because of moving that app from bin to app folder in system. Will report if i see anymore changes.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
That app has actually been deleted completely now in the 1.29.401.7 OTA - it's a redundant app that has no affect on anything (as confirmed by HTC and Devs a few weeks back)
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
swype is bugged on the One X. the dev is not responding to posts on his forums about it. Switch on the htc swype clone and forget about swype, Samsung own it now
[HTC One X] sean.trinidade:
Anyone in the UK got this yet - or are we going to be last on the rollout schedule again? :(
[HTC One X] vanngoh:
Not in asia yet i suppose..
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
I tried the HTC Sense "swype" but it doesn't add automatic spaces like the real Swype, and that immediately bugged me.
[HTC One X] dwoodwar:
I had that problem but it just went away. Running 1.28
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Pretty sure it does. I've not hit the space key while writing this. Unless you mean it doesn't anymore on 1.29, I'm on 1.28.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
It does in some apps, but not in others
[HTC One X] broncogr:
Watch your attitude please guys....
[HTC One X] motorwayne:
Nothing in New Zealand yet 10pm, we got 1.28 pretty smartly, so we should see 1.29 tomorrow morning.
[HTC One X] minx007:
Just got update here in Germany running fine by me never had these problems from start i think a lot of you have faulty phones
[HTC One X] MyOwn_DK:
Update in Denmark works

The result was a pretty huge list of improvements and bug fixes:

- New HBOOT 0.94;

- New RADIO 1.26.401.2;

- Fixed HTC Sense Calendar widget crashing;

- Fixed HTC Calendar double dates bug;

- Fixed HTC Sense crashing;

- Fixed Screen glitches;

- Improved Tegra 3 gaming;

- Improved HTC Gallery playback;

- Improved ICS detection, dots removed in YouTube app;

- Improved Beats audio, no more skipping;

- Improved non-Sense widget scrolling

- Improved HTC Teeter gaming;

- Improved overall speed.

The new software update 1.29.401.7 that has just been rolled out in Europe is now available for download OTA (over the air). The update is pushed in stages, so it might take a while until it reaches all HTC One X owners living in Europe.

So far, it looks like the update is only available for unlocked HTC One X units, which means carriers will announce the availability of this maintenance update a bit later.

Software update 1.29.401.7 has 35MB in size and is said to fix color temperature issues and lots of other bugs that have yet to be detailed.

In addition, HTC Hotline claims that Wi-Fi problems have also been fixed. Just like the previous update, this one comes without an official changelog, so there might be other changes included as well.
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
Afaik the improvement and buglist is for 1.28 update not for update 1.29..
[HTC One X] alen1234:
Still no update on UK unbranded phone here in Slovenia.. I think the last time i got update was at about 5 or 6 pm.

HAHAHAHAHAHA thats my 1.28 changelog.

Still nothing in Middle East & Africa region

Thank you guys
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
That's what I was thinking, I thought the double dates issue was fixed in the last update.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
@xmoo: can you work some magic and get us a 1.29 changelog please? ;)
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
If that is the case, is this evidence that the problem is software related? Surely if it was hardware then there would be no difference after an update.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup my cousin reported the notification glitch is gone
[HTC One X] adazamim:
It's an evidence that it's a hardware failure body ...
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
Can you elaborate as I cant see how a software update would worsen a hardware fault. Especially if the software update had not attempted to fix the issue with the flickering.
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
if it was a hardware problem, shouldn't the flickering be on all colours, and not gray only?
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Are you on 1.2X.7XX? 1.28.7XX (Asia) took about a week longer than Europe. Still haven't been updated to 1.28 on my Telecom unit
[HTC One X] Kun2210:
To all those with rooted, unlocked, CWMed phones - all you need to do is go back to stock recovery - then apply OTA. Then you'll need to reflash CWM and re-root, because updating to 1.29 will remove root (although it does not remove your data/applications).

Hope this helps :)

Well, what I can see as an improvement is "better tegra3 gaming", glowball was unplayable, now I can show it to my friends its so beautiful and smooth :-)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It is on all colours actually. It is just so slight that the eye only tunes into it on a grey colour. It is the backlight that is flickering.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
Hahahaha, very busy. If I find time I will do.
[HTC One X] thewrench80:
ive rooted and got custom revocery but just clicked updates and one popped up? downloading it now... branded three phone

it took me to cwm recovery bummer
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You need the stock recovery - and it'll be 1.28.771.9, not the 1.29 update that unbranded phones are getting
[HTC One X] vickytom:
I've read on other fora that the UK is receiving it today. Anyone in the UK downloaded it yet?
[HTC One X] haudamekki:
I have installed the O2 Germany update 5 minutes ago. 1.28.207.9
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Nothing here yet
[HTC One X] xn1:
Im I right in assuming that this means Tegra optimised games only, or all games while using the Tegra?
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It is definitely not out yet. Where did your read it was coming out today?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
The backlight is controlled by s/w. Further, the same display is used in the XL and having been released in Canada and demo units being dispatched to AT&T stores across the U.S. there hasn't been a single instance of similar behaviour. At least to me, that pretty much confirms it's something related to Teg3.

This will probably push some of you over the edge, but the first update Asus pushed out for Teg3 issues on the Prime did in fact make the problems worse for some users. It also introduced issues for people not experiencing any. It took four updates to stabilize everything. Hopefully Nvidia/HTC can get a better result than Nvidia/Asus.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea I'm convinced its software too or power management thing

someone suggested to download colors app and check Darth grey

indeed it flicker for one minute and stabilized, never flickered again not even after rebooting

and rarely I get a different kind with brightness adjusting when switching between dark n whiter areas, most obvious in the multitask stack view also happens randomly unrelated to battery level sometimes its not in there at all

my t3 seems healthy I never crosses 45 degrees

oh and did anyone motive the flickering image thumbnails in google play that quickly stabilize?
[HTC One X] adazamim:
Sure craggybuk,

Many people have no problems whatsoever on the display.

The FOTA rolled to majority of HTC One X users, and no flickering appears. Taking under consideration that they didn't have the problem on their devices, out of the box.

Many people, I know personally, has returned their faulty flickering devices and got new ones. This applies on HTC One X and One S, same flickering problem out of the box. No problems on their new devices.

You should return your phone back to HTC and get a new one.

Make sure the replacement is

Made In Taiwan

as the Chinese version is most likely to have the yellowesh screen and/or flickering problem.

It's a PATCH of HTC One X and One S which has the problem.

Good luck buddy.
[HTC One X] Bomaster:
My first phone had this everything else perfect second GPS bounced all over third everything works but still had yellowish but now seems to have gone away on 3 branded so only just got 1.28.

Contacted HTC via email and was advised to exchange the phone after I showed images with the yellow. Might be the metering let it focus for a few seconds see of that helps if not try exchange

mentioned UK "today" but was actually a post created yesterday!! So I think someone was muddling up Europe and UK information. It would be nice if it came today, but no real information to suggest it will or it won't yet. I am sure it is imminent though....

Guys has this update fixed the quality of images in contacts?..coz the quality of fb synced images in People app sucks..

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Probably not as that's not been reported as an important issue - it's to do with the spat between Google and Facebook
[HTC One X] DanteGR:
You could use Friendcaster Pro or Haxsync from market.

Friendcaster has a "high quality contact pic" sync feature and it works pretty nice if u ask me.

The problem is that the sync doesn't work properly (yet i hope) and u have to manually sync ur google contacts with the friendcaster/facebook ones..
[HTC One X] FrankNL:
Weird, having issues with updating on an unbranded Dutch 1X. Was on a rooted 1.28 with CWM. Through fastboot I replaced recovery to stock. When trying to update the phone restarts into stock recovery, starts, but within a minute shows a phone with a red danger triangle on it. Then 2 minutes of nothing followed by a reboot. All works fine, but cannot update. Tried reverting back to 1.26 stock recovery, uninstalling SuperSU... nothing seems to get the update in. Any ideas are welcome
[HTC One X] yoshx05:
1.26

hiyya , im in ireland ,just bought one htc one x with 1.26 version, im in meteor network ,but the phone was released and unlocked from O2 ,

I was wondering if i could just update the thing from the htc website or somethin.

would that be possible ?

No
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Nope, if it's got the o2 FW on it you're waiting on o2 to release it

[HTC One X] TommUK:
Except for in World war 2 and 1966? :p
[HTC One X] Ripley:
How can it be Orange unbranded? You mean Orange unlocked. Even unlocked, I think you still wait for the Orange update, as updates are released according to IMEI.

I could be wrong.
[HTC One X] PaulWilks:
Nothing on my unlocked device either. Dammit.
[HTC One X] TommUK:
He could just mean he's unbranded and on Orange

If so, it just wasn't necessary to mention orange.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Nope, nothing here either.

UK, sim free, unbranded & unlocked.

[HTC One X] craigymuk:
How do you know if ya phone is unbranded got mine from carphone warehouse
[HTC One X] Birdskenburg:
Here are my findings on the 1.29 update, after using it for a day:

- Battery life seems to be quite a bit better (although it's too early to tell obviously) and it looks as if the screen process is using less power; stats:

> 54% battery left (after 10h 41m 28s)

> Screen: 44% (time on: 1h 48m 50s)

> Things I did: 24m voice call, wifi on the whole time (8% batt usage), quite a bit of whatsapping, browsing, maps, 10 min gaming, antutu 1 time.

(before this update, I was happy if I could squeeze out 2,5h of screen time while having < 10% battery left)

- Immediately after the update, I thought I noticed an increase of performance (smoother UI), but after a while I started to doubt that (if there is a performance increase it's very minor)...

> GTA 3 performance didn't improve whatsoever

- AnTuTu benchmark results (like others already reported) are lower

> Going from 11.549 (1.28) to 10.800 (only the RAM and CPU performance decreased, the GPU, SD, etc. didn't change)

- Force GPU rendering works now. Turning it on doesn't really make the UI experience any smoother, except for 1 thing: the 'settings -> call' menu scrolling has always been very slow and it still is without GPU rendering, but when I enable the GPU rendering it miraculously becomes as smooth as the other menu's :confused:

- Didn't notice anything else really, cam performance/image quality is the same.

I didn't have many problems with my phone in the first place, unlike some, so there weren't any bugs I wanted to get fixed anyway...
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Not sure if serious. :screwy:
[HTC One X] Spewy1:
Carphonewarehouse phones are usually unbranded particularly if they are sim free or payg
[HTC One X] ULJ:
So changing the CID (if it was possible) would not help? (because of IMEI)
