Haha, yeah but didn't you see the struggle we had to make them push the previous update? Sure they made up for it by skipping 1.29 and going to 2.17, but I'd rather just not have the stress of that again! Then again, the 1.28 had bugs, this release is quite stable, least I'm not flickering everywhere and entering an epileptic seizure when trying to text.

I hope they release it before Christmas, that'd be nice.

[HTC One X] exocetdj:
Know the feeling!!! I'm on meds for it and was a little worried when i was on the base in question lol!!

On the update front, I am always going to get my phones from phones for u or anywhere that does unbranded handsets. Branded phones are a pain in the arse when it comes to updates lol! :eek:
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
@smidgeox sadly I did I had terrible flicker issues, I ended up unlocking the boot loader and going to a custom rom and haven't had a stock rom since. The only reason I want this update now is so I can flash some of the JB custom roms.
[HTC One X] meleelord:
Thought I would give an update of what 3 have said over twitter.

Through the ThreeUKSupport account they have said "Sorry no date yet, hopefully shouldn't be long now though".

And through the ThreeUK account they have said "If all goes to plan with testing it should be with you next month...".

Not much to go on... and I'm guessing from looking through earlier parts of this thread that this is how they were before am I right?
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
Yup always giving answers but never deliver!!

Then they will find a problem to stall the release!
[HTC One X] fastphil:
I will give three the benefit of the daught A's they where first to release jellybean on gs3 so they should deliver for our one x
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
The problem here though, is with the previous debate we had, we all just used a custom rom, it isn't as easy this time, because of this stupid cid issue <.<
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
speak for yourself

I stuck it out and waited for the official release!!

I have no intention of rooting to be honest my phone works well in a fashion so i will get it when i get it :confused:
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Can't we just stick to totally unconstructive abusive remarks about our carrier? It's what makes this thread so entertaining :)
[HTC One X] meleelord:
I have not been able to find an ruu for 2.17. Any idea if there is one anywhere? Or perhaps if not if someone has a copy???

Edit: Nevermind I found it! :) For those who need it, a link was posted over in the endeavour shipped thread over here.

Also I was thinking the title of this thread should be updated. :p
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Guys! Is it important or is there an advantage of wiping the phone afterhaving updated?
[HTC One X] trick202:
I bought my One X from Three (PAYG) last week.

On booting, it said there was an update (didn't notice what it was on before- sorry).

It updated fine and is now on 1.28.771.9

The updates you are all talking about fix what issues? The only issues I have are that Sense is laggy when you start to work fast, and the battery is very poor. Does the latest update address battery at all?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I'd do it as it helps the update 'take' but it's not essential - you'd obviously lose all data so make sure you back up the SD card in case
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
The battery gets a lot better with use. I will recommend buying an external battery though. I got this Trent ICruiser 700mah which has enough juice for about a weeks use.
[HTC One X] trick202:
Thanks for the reply, but if it doesn't improve by the end of the week, I'll have to return the simcard to my 4S.

Love the One X - but I need to be able to use it.
[HTC One X] bev309:
True, funny how that worked out! :confused:
[HTC One X] leewsmith:
I've just got 1.29.161.13 on Vodafone UK
[HTC One X] bev309:
Tweeted ThreeUK support & got the standard, it's still in testing, but they did say they may have found a bug.
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
so that means at least another 3 months from three then!

think I will get my phones from phones 4u in the future theirs tend to be unbranded!
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
Im on three too and this is getting really annoying
[HTC One X] iMack007:
+1 ^......spoke to them (technical support) & they claim it'll be ready for release by next week. Won't be holding my breath though...
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
I posted on the three UK facebook today and just got a reply of we are still testing!

Shouldn't the title be changed now that Vodafone have released theirs days ago?
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I'm wondering if they are going to skip 1.29 and go straight to the next update that's been leaked.
[HTC One X] lostunsunghero:
vodafone have upgraded to 1.29.x.13 (cant remember what the x was i upgraded it on a phone i was returning, which i have now sent back so cant check).

beware this upgrades HBOOT to 0.95, so if an exploit for s-off is found via software it might not work with this version of the HBOOT
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
Far from it they are always a few steps behind and never a step in front!
[HTC One X] Brac20:
three were the first network to release the 1.28 update.r
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
really? now theres a first

what makes me laugh is that they are taking so bloody long with 1.29 :confused:
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Which is why it wouldn't surprise me if they were skipping 1.29. Some three tech people said something just before 1.28 came out. Maybe they were referring to 1.29 not 1.28.

I know it's a long shot but you never know.
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
I can't see it to be honest but stranger things have happened plus there's nothing on HTC site about another update so I think it will be 1.29
[HTC One X] Genkville:
Vodafone update is up :D
[HTC One X] bev309:
Mmm yeah, has been for days, rub it in lol!
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I'm getting REALLY annoyed with this now, i have that annoying screen flicker on my htc one x (also on 3), and they still haven't pushed the bloody update. I'm getting really annoyed with it now - also, isn't the update 1.29.771.11? (or am i being thick)

Has anyone heard anything from 3, i think they're the only company NOT to have pushed the 1.29 update..

:mad: @ 3
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
I ended up unlocking my phone and going with the new leaked Rom, as if has given me better signal strength and I no longer have to do that airplane mode to get my data connection back every time it drops
[HTC One X] :
I thought if you broke your phone with no warranty you could get a replacement with your insurance

Huh?
[HTC One X] iLHaNroID:
just fyi, I am on Three/Sweden, and they have released both updates 15~20 days later than generic one officially was released. Not so bad.
[HTC One X] iMack007:
Thanks for that bit of information. I'll be roasting 3 UK about that tomorrow morning. :mad:
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Asked them on their Twitter support feed and according to them it's still in testing with no confirmed release date yet.

Frustrating when I think every other network has now received this.
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Be honest though, only reason anyone is with 3 is they're cheap. 3 have always been a bit Micky Mouse. I can understand the frustration but you're all probably paying a tenner a month less than the rest of us. That's 240 quid over 2 years. Oh and don't bank on it fixing your flicker either. HTC no longer talking to me it seems and no fix for me and many others. Some got flicker only after the .11 update.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
No idea what you're paying (not really bothered if it's less or more either), I'm paying £30/month and paid £99 for the handset. Been with 3 over 6 yrs as I get better coverage where I use my phone and had no problems until the QC issues with HOX. Anyway, none of that helps with likely release date on 3.
[HTC One X] TremF:
I'm paying £34 per month for the One plan. I am with Three for literally all you can eat data and tethering for my Transformer Prime plus I get good coverage and download speed. How many other networks will let me tether and download 4GB+ of data in a month?

If Three are dragging their feet over a small update I wonder how long they will take to release the 4.0.4 update! :(
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Got the fiancé to ring 3 up, they don't even know what the f_ck they're speaking about. Telling me that my phone needs to be booked for repair, apparently they can't comment on the updates... it's a total and utter balls up. Is it deffo software problem - the screen flicker?
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
I think 1.29 has fixed my flicker.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
When you're on the 'recent apps' screen on full brightness can you see the flicker?
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Not anymore.
[HTC One X] rik-sik:
They need to hurry up, I seriously cba formatting my Internal memory again !
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Its only taking so long because they found a bug in the firmware, THREE where first to update to 1.28, and 02 where last.. its the opposite this time around... as 02 was first with 1.29...
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Even if they found a bug, which they also told me, how long do they bloody need to retest? It's an actual joke.

Yes I agree ... am with you not against, and they are taking a very long time but nothing we can do unfortunatly :( I've got a bit of time now like! as have just sent phone to repair .. am hoping its out by the time I get it back :)

I think the bug is real . they must be scared to go in the room where the htc dev computer is ! They say it may eat them if they make it angry. :eek:

Well that or they've jumped ship to focus on the S3 :mad:

Bad times lol !
[HTC One X] colobos:
just get a rom and kernal and get 4.0.4 and better base ?
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Hahaha that made me laugh more than it should've haha. And colobos not everyone wants to do that, I've tried Rom flashing and had a very serious accident, I'd rather not risk my HTC one x like I did my HTC sensation xe, unless its fully explained how I could possibly brick my phone then I won't be doing that. I'd also struggle with finding the right roms and bases and radios so I'd end up breaking it :thumbdown:

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Goku80:
your every geeks dream girl:D

and yeah you are right best be safe than sorry before you go ahead and start flashing. but so far so good. it is all about finding a rom and sticking with it and building your own set up..once you have done that you are good to go;)
[HTC One X] colobos:
I agree with you if you don't feel happy don't do it thats fair enough.

If you do take a look at most roms though it isn't hard to flash very good support in the threads especially ARHD I have found (but that's just my personal preference)

and the features that you gain over the what I would call small risk are 100% worth it.

When I first received my phone on 3 I was getting signal drop out without reconnect all the time only managing 2 hours screen on time after 2 weeks with the device and countless other small things that would annoy me, since going to a rom nearly everything has been ironed out and the experience of the phone is alot smoother and more fun.

If you do need any help with anything either check out the different roms threads there is a vast amount of support or give me a message am always willing to help.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Sorry my message sounded overly moody haha. I will eventually give it a try if 1.29 doesn't iron my screen flicker, thank you and don't worry if I do something wrong I WILL be messaging.you on a panic haha.

Thanks a lot.

When 3 do release their update could you guys and ladies update this thread to let us know. I've gone over to a custom rom that is working sweet, but would go back to the 3 rom if the update was significant enough.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Just seen this on the 3 blog, looks like 1.29 being skipped, if this is true -

Moderator: Nicki on June 22, 2012

@Kevin – I’m afraid, the software update was rejected by our team. We’re working on a new update, due for launch at the end of July

Kevin on June 21, 2012

When will we receive the latest update 1.29 ….?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Sounds like they're waiting for the 2.x (4.0.4) update
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Yeah, i got the same message... actual joke.

So they've held us on, saying 'it's in testing', for them to say 'it's been rejected from our software team', actual joke. They wonder why people root and rom there phones.

Jokers.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Seriously? You are taking the piss.... Ugh

Edit: How easy is it to root your phone and then update your software back to official Sense when 4.04 comes out?
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
this is a bloody joke!

i have sent a email to HTC to see if they can give them a bit of a push
[HTC One X] colobos:
Its not down to HTC there is nothing they can do

Flashing a rom is easy enough and lots of support in the development section
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Pretty easy to root your phone and flash your custom Rom, but i'm to much of a chicken to risk my phone, I am not sure how easy it is to revert to stock :( if you find out how if it's possible please post back :)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
sorry I disagree

HTC have released an update for our phone and therefore all carriers should make sure we get it if the carrier isnt playing ball then HTC should get on to them to sort it out!

I dont fancy flashing roms to be honest as I dont want to brick it or void my warranty
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
But then our carriers must see if the update has bugs and then release when they think its right... HTC have already given them the update so I agree with the fella, HTC will be clueless!
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
maybe they should stop adding there own bloatware and just give us the phones as intended then!

we can only try and see what they say no harm in an email sent to them eh
[HTC One X] shankly1985:
I dont understand how Three can say they found a Bug and All other Phone providers have passed it. All the software is the same version only thing that changes is the providers slap there own apps etc.
[HTC One X] iMack007:
3 UK are full of it!

The simple truth is 3 UK are full of ****! Why? As a previous poster said, HTC released the update several weeks ago & 3 are the last to release out of all the other network providers. Hell, they haven't even released anything but wind so far. Even 3 in the rest of Europe have released the update that fixes our issues, so why not here in the UK too.

I suppose 3 UK are far more technically advanced than HTC's software developers and Google put together, right? Didn't think so. It's simply a matter of their business ethos/ethics....take the customers money & give 'em a half arsed customer service that has been contracted out to another far away country where they don't really care about the customers.

It's like another poster said, it's left to us to simply patiently wait, like the mugs 3 treat us like or flash a different ROM that is supported by the xda developer community & lose our warranty in the process.

I'll be switching to another provider when my contract is up.....that's all I can do. Just gotta wait suffer it for now I'm afraid. Let's face it, short of having a faulty hardware unit (in which case they will exchange it) the warranty ain't worth jack!

Excuse any spelling mistakes....not my fault, but the bug-ridden software on my 3 bloated software.:mad:
[HTC One X] mudtail:
Aye, it's a bit irritating that Three UK haven't released the .29 update, but it's downright wrong to say they don't care about their customers. Others have already said Three are skipping it and releasing the 2.05 update in July instead.

And you can disable or uninstall every single app Three bundle with the One X, so I don't know what you're complaining about.
[HTC One X] cdcooperuk:
Thanks.

The prospect of this wait kicked me into unlocking the bootloader & installing a custom ROM (mcr).

Finally free of three, who have been, to say the least, a disappointment.
[HTC One X] colobos:
Can't say I'm disappointed sure updates are slow but I'm on a rom customer service I've been happy with though was getting no signal indoors couple phone calls and they sent me out a home signal box so I'm happy with three
[HTC One X] iMack007:
each to their own

Ny

I appreciate you have your view on the matter & you're entitled to voice it. As a paying customer I expect better from 3. I still lose gigabytes of storage space per week & frankly am tired if having had to wait so long for the fix after we all know HTC rolled it out weeks ago.

If 3 believes it can & has improved in things beyond what HTC has, then that's all well & good, I'm yet to see it though. Meanwhile, I am greatly inconvenienced in having to use a time consuming workaround whilst they skip the fix which has already been available for weeks.

If you're ok with all if this, as a paying customer, then more power to ya, but as a businessman myself, if I were to provide such a shoddy customer service to my clients, I'd have been out of business years ago.

So, like I say, IMO (& there's nothing humble about it) I'm a very dissatisfied customer who is with expressing my right to voice my opinion based on my personal experience with them, not to mention the many others who feel the same way but chose not to say it the way I do.:p
[HTC One X] iMack007:
Been in to a 3 store today and spoke to a very knowledgeable techie person & consequently just spent one hour with 3 on the phone to a very pleasant customer service agent who tried her very best to help me. The individuals who work for 3 are not the problem, it seems to be the way the company is run, from a customer feedback point of view. Their system simply doesn't work.

The end result is that my phone is going back to 3 for their technicians to assess & try to repair the faults. In other words, they will manually update the phone to the latest version!

This begs the question; if they have a version of the update which is good enough to manually apply to my device, then what the he'll is the hold up in releasing the update nationwide? Being that I will now be greatly inconvenienced, yet again, but this time without even having my phone and having to wipe my phone as I keep my clients confidential information on my phone (for 7-10 days)!

All the while, I still pay for the service. But I'm a whinger, right? Wrong!
[HTC One X] dasiki:
I don't think it is "downright wrong", I think it's very clear that Three don't care about their customers. They've said that the update has been in testing for weeks now but all of sudden its been "rejected", just as it turns out there's another major update coming out. They rejected it despite the fact almost every other Three network in Europe has managed to roll it out without rejecting it, I find that hard to believe. Personally, I think they decided to just skip it to make their lives easier without giving a damn about their customers. Who's to say weeks after everyone else gets the 2.05 Three don't decide to skip it too just to work on the update that follows it?

They love to make out that they are doing you a favour, when in reality they are screwing you over. Also, you can't uninstall a single Three app, only disable.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Um don't expect anything higher than what is publically released....
[HTC One X] iMack007:
^ I'm not expecting anything anymore.....decided that the inconvenience of being without my phone is greater than sending it in for repair. I'm just gonna wait like everyone else or root and flash & stop *****ing. That's about all I can do.
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
How much did you pay for your One X again?
[HTC One X] twe69:
In the same boat.... At least my phone hardware wise has been fixed by HTC, just the software now.......
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well same here..phone hardware for me is finally fixed..the only thing is now that i have to wait from the network provider the updates but again i can patiently wait
[HTC One X] Brac20:
It is frustrating that we've not had 1.29 but I can forgive this if we get a nice quick release of the, much more important, 2.05 update.
[HTC One X] iMack007:
The cost of a 2 year contract @ £35 per month therefore £840! I'm not really complaining about the cost of the device S it's heavily subsidized, but I'm more paying for the tariff & what I thought would be good service. Anyway, I'm at peace now as I've resigned myself to accepting what is out of my control.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:

[HTC One X] :
I'm on 1.28 (uk three) and have never had screen flicker... I'm not showing off, it just seems weird if it is a 100% confirmed software issue with anything below 1.29. I imagine there is something dodgy in the hardware of some devices and 1.29 offers a sort of fix... Probably doesn't matter if the fix does work, but if the fix is 'forgotten' in a later version could the flicker come back? Who knows...

Btw, I don't know anything about programming/ android so feel free to ignore the above... This is just what I fink. Also I'm massively OT so please delete if anyone cares!

[HTC One X] _deleted_:
The screen flicker happens in lots of people's phones. I guess your must've been lucky. Some people don't have it. Some do. It's a strange thing. Like you said could be dodgey hardware in some devices which don't like something in the 1.28 but all I know is, I didn't have the flicker in 1.26 and did when I upgraded. Coincidence? I think not!

All I know is if 3 don't sort there lives out I may consider custom romming and killing many 3 staff hahahaha.

June 26th, 2012 at 12:27 pm

@Nicki – Rejected? What a load of bull, why was it rejected? Every other Three network in Europe managed to roll it out without any problems. Every other network in the UK managed to roll it out without problems. But Three UK manage to find a flaw that slipped past all these networks , that slipped past HTC themselves? More like you just can’t be bothered spending the resources to release it so are instead just going to skip it and lie to your customers, one more reason why I regret renewing my contract with you and wish I could cancel it.

Moderator: Nicki:

June 27th, 2012 at 12:00 pm

@dan – Thanks for your opinion. I can confirm it was rejected due to an issue with radio. We’re expecting a release by the end of July.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Haha, but at the end of the day, the person has a point.

EVERY

other network has released the update. It's been released for weeks now and if 3UK think they know more knowledge than the developers themselves they've got another thing coming... even when you phone 3 up, apparently i should still be on 1.26 and that 1.28 isn't even out yet? WTF IS WRONG WITH THE COMPANY? LMFAO they don't even know what they're doing. They said they weren't releasing 1.28 originally, THEN BANG they released it. Organisation at that company is dia****ingbolical

If i had the full knowledge of kernels (where they are in the stock rom and how to go back to full stock incase) i'd be fine. I just need to do a little more research and help from the people here and i'll be flying off to romrom land.

pfoaihfdf - that is all
