One might just as well ask who buys a smartphone to stare obsessively at the wallpaper. (And having done so the whole way through a cycle, will willingly do so again, which is the only reason I can think of that you'd be so obsessed with this -- you presumably do so on a regular basis.)

I imagine you buying a Ferrari, then laying down and staring intently at the seat-leather rather than driving it.

I agree, if this even is a bug (and that's very, very debatable) that HTC's priority is correct: this should be at the very bottom of the list, behind fixing bugs they've not even found yet.

You can use the RUU, just used it myself and now running 1.29.401.7

Reply from HTC about a date for the UK OTA update

"The timing will vary for devices receiving the updates. You'll recieve a notification when your device can download it."

As expected really, useless.
[HTC One X] casca:
did anyone with a "bad" g-sensor got it working properly after flashing the 1.29 ota?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Seriously? - i understand your trying to be smart with your reply but it doesn't change the fact - live wallpapers are completely broken on the HOX & need fixing.

FYI I don't just stare at the wallpaper, but I use ALL home screens & I don't want my live wallpaper frozen for most of the time - call me stupid, but what's the point - until its fixed, normal wallpaper it is.

People like you, who ignore the problem & mock people who actually care about one of the features that Android offers over ie. IPhones - give reason for HTC to not fix it.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Gotta agree with this dude, it's deffo a bug. It's how live wallpapers have worked on every single Android device
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Replace your phone if you still can. Otherwise, send it to HTC to be repaired (and hopefully replaced). It's what they did with mine when I had the same problem
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
It is, at the end of the day, a special wallpaper that reduces battery life and performance, and offers no real benefit beyond pointless gloss. If that's what floats your boat, you're probably better off with Apple.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Guys I'm on 1.28 and my one x doesn't seem to like WiFi networks that say there secured with 802.1x, it'll connect initially but then disconnect after like a minutes use then refuse to connect again.

So I was just wondering does anyone have/had this problem and has this update helped at all?

Any input would be greatly appreciated
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
No wifi problem here using 1.28. You can try setting static IP in advance wifi setting and see if disconnection problem is gone. Android Central just got an article recently about that in one X and they showed also the appropriate needed settings. I myself is also using static ip instead of the automatic DHCP wifi setting on my Sony arc running cm9 due to disconnection issues also.

I don't have my 1.29 update yet on my one x though.

EDIT: here's the link to the article

sama at mi wors Perfect,,,,

i onroot my htc i update now it is on 1.29
[HTC One X] sean.trinidade:
Except he can't, because Apple don't support it either! :-D

But seriously, yes it probably is a bug, but I think most users are having more annoying software issues. Personally, I'd prefer them to update the kernel so the phone doesn't get as hot (might even get better battery from doing that as well!)

EDIT : Btw, am running ARHD, and don't have the issue with the live wallpaper. If it's bugging you that much, you might want to consider it! :)
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
It's hardly very, very debatable.

Every other Andriod device runs live wallpapers smoothly, hell even the Wildfire S which is TINY runs them perfectly fine. Yet their flagship running a Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad Processor can't?

What world do you live in where you think it's meant to be that way.
[HTC One X] hajrullah:
thats good for you for mi i unplug 7:00 am and i need to charge at 17 or 18 PM

my battery sucks..

i stop sounds vibrations brightnes at medium everything but if i play one simple game for 30 mins my batery goes fast so i can see with my own eyes going precents down..

sory for my bad english..

and flicker screen i didnt haw with 1.28 now it is much wors (now i think that screen flicker isnt hardwer isue it is software isue) DAMN..

I like this phone but i hate his battery :P
[HTC One X] coipu1234:
Wallpaper is obviously a Sense issue, as installing a launcher fixes the problem straight away.

How i don't have the update?
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Already tried that, it locked and didn't disconnect but the actual internet didn't seem to come through, thanks for the response tho. Emailed HTC, see what they say

Can someone help me out with my CID (and getting this update)? Thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634748
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't change your CID without S-OFF

EDIT: Apparently you're S-OFF so you need to change the CID using fastboot commands and then just flash it...

- Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

- Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)

- Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" (it should confirm your CID is 11111111)

- Enter the command "fastboot reboot"

- Check CID using CID Getter once the phone has booted again

thank you, I was just curious as I have already sent it to expansys for return :)

received the e-mail today with the confirmation that it's going to be sent a new one probably today :)

I have an unbranded one x, CID HTC_ _001

still no update, anyway i can get the update manually guys ?

Do we have any idea when UK is likely to get the update

Sent from the Beast that is the HTC One X in white...... :-)
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
Guys sorry for noob question . As HOX is my first android phone and I am learning many things to have some custom fun over my HOX. And to play safely I am learning all. Btw what is called as ruu ?
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Already asked HTC, standard useless response received
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
Why would we ever expect anything more? ;)
[HTC One X] Ripley:
True, I don't know why I bothered
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
My contact at HTC was travelling when I asked but said in the next few days.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I am surprised we haven't received it yet, as it should be pushed to everyone as its OTA.

I understand its pushed in IMEI-batches, but still surprised we haven't received it yet.

Not sure what's going on....!

No point in worrying though, it shouldn't be long - maybe even today, who knows...
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
It does seem odd. It's pure speculation but it has crossed my mind that almost everyone in the screen flicker thread was in the UK. Also, one of the managers at HTC that I'm in contact with said they'd noticed British owners were far more likely to be techie power users. It does just make me wonder if we're gonna skip it and go strait to 1.3 with a possible fix for screen flicker. I must stress, this is pure speculation.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I doubt this, although I don't believe the update is being based on the speculated IMEI-batches, but instead purely by region, as I know UK unbranded T3 phones located in foreign countries have received the update already.

It will be this weekend, just hope its today as I wanna get it done ;)

I get a strange good feeling when I see that system update available screen, i think its just this, and not the actual update that is annoying. - to see others receive it, and not me is the biggest gripe, haven't even thought about the actual update. LOL
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
got a better response from htc

Robert: I can confirm version 1.29 is in the process of being released within EU.

Robert: I understand you wish to know when the latest Android 1.29 OTA update will be coming to your device.

In answer to your query the HTC One X Android 1.29 software update via FOTA EU is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle 30,000 updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update soon. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.

To manually search for updates please go through the following steps as described in the link below:

http://www.htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=141676&type=1&p_id=440

For the latest news releases Please go to Our official HTC website, http://www.htc.com/uk/

Or web Fan pages e.g. Facebook & Twitter.

HTC thank you for your continued patience and co-operation at this time.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Thats just a longer way of saying nothing
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
True :( i am bored to checking for updates manually every hour or so.. got the 1.28 one fairly quick...
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I just flashed the RUU last night, a lot easier! :D
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
that would wipe your data as well, wouldnt it ? i just dont want the hassle of going over setting up my device copying everything back... loosing my game progress lol :P
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
I can confirm this. Installed Apex launcher, using the Nexus live wallpaper, and when switching homescreens I can even track one of the flying bits all the way from left to right (or vice versa) without lag :)

When I switched back to the Sense launcher, the wallpaper indeed froze when switching homescreens.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I've always used Apex since finding this issue.

Not only does it not freeze the wallpaper, but the Launcher itself is very smooth and the app drawer transitions are fantastic.

I prefer it to the current version of ICS on the OneX
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
Got the update this morning UK unbranded HOX
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Any screenshots?

& are you located in the UK?

Or are just using a UK device in a different country?
[HTC One X] ewok666:
And THAT is why you root and get a backup of everything you want. It's a real shame they make you unlock the bootloader and give up warranty (however legit that is) to get this functionality.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

I understand their servers can only handle so much. What I don't understand is why they don't let you install it manually once downloaded from another source. That's plain dumb. My phone's unlocked so I had to set it all up from scratch anyway but that's another story...
[HTC One X] casca:
If people need the update so badly, because the phone is amazingly bad(joke), then simply flash the RUU.
[HTC One X] abc27:
Couldn't you just extract the rom.zip from the RUU and flash it using the stock recovery without a wipe?
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
Guys, sorry to do this, but can someone list the Changes (that are known) appreciate there is no change log supplied by HTC.

I was following this thread, but 65 pages to filter through is a bit too much for my eyes and head to handle.

I don't have the update yet but will obviously provide a review when I do. Will be good to know of any specifics I am looking for.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Yep, I do it with every RUU that gets released - prefer to set up from scratch with every new release. I don't lose a lot of data as most apps have the data in the cloud and I don't play games
[HTC One X] hamdir:
or use mobile back pro, also we can easily export SMS and phone book

only issue is backing up APW widgets to be honest since every time i have to re set them up
[HTC One X] mgdew:
I'm on UK unbranded phone from phones 4U, using it on O2 Network, cid is HTC__001, its had the 1.28 update but still nothing showing for the 1.29, is that correct ?

sorry, newbie question I know.
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
yep that correct no one so far with HTC_001 has the update, im also waiting.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yes, that's correct - although 1.29 should be on its way, seems like all of UK is waiting too. Lol
[HTC One X] Squirrels:
my ro.cid is HTC__203 but my ro.aa.maincid is HTC__001, not sure which one matters but I've had 1.29.401.7 since it came out. I am assuming ro.cid is the one it is checking.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
ro.cid is the one that counts, mine is HTC__001 but I got bored of waiting so used the RUU
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
Yes I am located in the UK with a UK handset update landed at 10.42 am and is 34.98MB in size. If you tell me how to take a screenshot I will be more than happy to supply one :)
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Push the power button and volume down button at the same time

edit: you also have to hold them for like 2 seconds
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
Also, the power button and home button at the same time instantly captures the screenshot.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Hold the power button & give the middle home key a single press.
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
Ok sorted
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
FYI and a bit offtopic:

power button + home button tap = HTC implemented screenshot function

power button + vol down button for 2 secs = ICS implemented screenshot function :)
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Just a question, i don't feel like opening an extra thread because of this and this actually has something to do with the firmware anyway so i guess i'll just add it to this thread:

I remember reading that someone mentioned that the current kernel we have on the One X is a gingerbread kernel or something along those lines. Is this true? Just wondering
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
Bit more info my Cid 11111111 and ro cwkey is HTC_001 if that makes any sense????
[HTC One X] abc27:
Could you check your HBOOT and see if it says S-OFF?

Restart your phone with volume down held.
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
It says S-ON

HBOOT 0.94.0000
[HTC One X] cdd543:
I ruu'd mine as well. Setup is nothing these days...not a phone game player either though. Glad I did as it seems smoother than 128.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
same here, i just did, i think i see altered color calibration even on the colder screen

notification glitch is gone finally!
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I'm sceptic towards the guy that reported his One X receiving 1.29 today, no one else in the UK has reported an official OTA.

As for HTC reporting only 30,000 downloads a day, this is utter rubbish. Somewhere in this thread, EddyOS gave a link to where the file can be downloaded manually, or in other words where the 'Check For Update' pings the server and obtains that link. If people are able to directly download it from that link, but not receive it through 'Check For Update' then clearly there isn't a 30,000 limit, but much rather it has not been pushed to HTC UK devices yet.

Some people have mentioned that HTC rolls out updates based on IMEI batches, well it was always my belief that it depended on the CID and Serial number. I'm no expert and could have sourced the wrong information.

I will report when my device receives this update, however as of yet I'm still rocking 1.28 and I'm not planning on flashing an RRU just in case the UK never does receive this update and does make the jump to 1.30.

Oh yeah, also when the 1.28 rolled out everyone received it at the same time, no stupid download limits then right :cool:

If anyone in the UK has received this update other than the guy above, and has a UK bought device could you please report? Thanks.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Although you can download the file you can't flash it manually without S-OFF so the only options are use the RUU (like I did) or wait for it to be pushed to the phone

And OTAs are done by IMEI, not CID/Serial Number ;)
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Yeah, I read your post about being unable to manually flash, can still download it though.

Oh dear, well I've made myself look stupid then ;) thanks for the correction!
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I've been corrected a few times saying it's not done by IMEI when I thought it was.

Thanks for clarifying that Eddy.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
By me as well, my bad!
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
All I can say to this is I have definitely received the update today in Newcastle upon Tyne on an unbranded One x with a Three UK sim in. The phone was won in a competition and arrived in a demo unit box (must make a difference) :)
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
It's all a learning curve my friend, nothing to worry about!
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
There's the difference ;)

The device is probably one of those developer device things that had the 1.27 software on that no one should have had! :D

The UK awaits.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

At least we both know now :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
There's every chance you have an S-OFF handset as those with Super CID (11111111) have got the OTA as well in the UK

If you boot into HBOOT does it say S-OFF? If not, then you could have a unit new enough to be on the active list of IMEIs! :D
[HTC One X] nealyblue:
No its definitely S-ON
[HTC One X] swissynopants:
Nothing in the rep. of Ireland either - for me anyway and apologies if that was mentioned already.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I remember somewhere someone reporting they had received a test unit from HTC, only to be upgraded to 1.27. 1.27 was like a minor software update so that those people that received those review handsets weren't reviewing the handset and saying 'well its got these problems'. 1,27 was NEVER released to the general public.

My belief is you have probably obtained one of these devices, regardless of what country your in, your likely to receive an update the instant (or quicker than most) when its released.
[HTC One X] Fatelord:
Does the update fix the battery ?!
[HTC One X] audioslim:
As you know mine gave up for days but came alive again before 1.28 after going back to supplier. Not had a problem since. You still.do?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I too would like a changelog for 1.29 ....

Anybody know where I can find one?
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
None knocking about at the moment.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ok, I'm surprised - doesn't most of Europe except UK have this firmware already....
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Hold up, just come across this... it was on another website however it's apparently ripped from XDA somewhere..

The update does the following:

This also updates radio images and kernel. And apparently it attempts a battery fix: /system/bin/chownto /sys/htc/power_save_policy /data/data/com.android.browser

Plus, a few apps got huge updates: - Rosie (apparently some graphics update) - MovieEditor (13mb, whoa!) - Many of the HTC apps (Contacts, Watch, and so on) - Browser - Idle Screens - GPSD, RILD, and WPA-Supplicant updates - Camera, EGL, Audio, GRAlloc, HWComposer libs updated (last two plus EGL might be fixing the remaining banding) - WiFi and BT modules updated (but almost all modules got some patches) - Laputa Engine, HWUI, HTC RIL, and some video codecs also updated - Secure CA certs updated.​

1.29 in Norway

Got the 1.29 update in Norway a couple days ago, and it broke my g-sensor... All was working perfect before the update, but now i don't know what to do. Tried everything. Factory reset, safe-mode calibration +++ but no g-sensor...
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I guess HTC need to be reminded that the UK is in fact part of Europe & not separate, like it looks on a map. Still perhaps we might get the 1.30 update first when it comes out.
[HTC One X] marcelho:
G-sensor stopped working after update

The same to me. I got the Dutch update yesterday and since then the g-sensor doesn't work anymore.
[HTC One X] Radiognome:
Battery so far on 1.29 seems amazing!
[HTC One X] twistedh:
From what I've read read, HTC doesn't provide changelogs. We only know what goes on after our trusty devs investigate :-)
[HTC One X] mlodykaras:
Yeah... unfortunately it has the GB kernel. Pretty weird as the One X with S4 has new ICS kernel. I'm still wondering why they did that? And if... they are going to change to new kernel in the near future is the One X performance/battery life going to benefit from that? I just hope that HTC will introduce 4.0.4 with new kernel pretty soon ;) otherwise Samsung will beat them again :P
[HTC One X] NoLimit64:
Same here. Battery life extended considerebly...
[HTC One X] lstrike:
For those with 1.29 who are seeing better battery what is your actual time under screen on?
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Just looking through the posts about the improved battery life and I'm getting extremely excited. The battery is the only no-go about this phone at the moment, on shipped firmware it was awful, but it's getting better and it pleases me that for once HTC seems so commited to sorting these problems out.

As for the kernel :eek: I think they rushed the release, it was another one of those 'were the first' could the kernel be related to the screen flicker? I have no idea when it comes to kernels. ;)

'Kernels control the speeds the processor runs at as well as when it runs at what speed (the governor built into the kernel controls this). Some kernels allow for greater underclocking/overclocking than others. Some also undervolt the phone and allow you to tweak it as you see fit. Personally I think kernels have a greater effect on battery than any thing else you can flash. After changing you may need to give it a day or two to settle in before you can accurately judge the performance of the kernel. Kernels have different governor options you will see each handles scaling of the CPU differently than others.'​

Googled :cool:

OTA update failure

As my One X is rooted any OTA updates failed on "check_cid" so if this is the case with you guys, download the OTA to your phone, connect to your PC, open the OTA file then navigate to META-INF\com\google\android\ THEN open updater-script in notepad and remove the following script

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);

[HTC One X] louis.b:
Politically speaking, the UK has never been or wanted to be part of EU. So HTC is treating them just how they want to be treated, non-European. ;)
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
The only excuse I can think of is United Kingdom - European Union?

I guess a lot of the time, just like Australia, the UK is respected as its own continent. Australia is part of Oceania (or something like that) yet people rarely refer it to that continent. I bet New Zealand get their updates at a separate time to Australia ;)

I'd be more worried, were it be you live in such a place as Easter Island, when would your update get pushed then?

Correct me if I'm wrong, my Geography isn't up to scratch. And yes, I do know the UK is part of Europe, in my view though companies might treat it as its own continent due to it having so many countries included in its own 'Kingdom'
