Seems alright to me, can't say I've experienced any crazy problems with anything, viperx provide you with some other radios also if you have problems :)

[HTC One X] _deleted_:
For me, in my opinion I'd take the risk, as proven three are useless they cannot even release an ota on top, so if you expect a decent repair (if you were to send it off) because if you've had your phone for a month the stubborn idiots wouldn't replace it.

For me custom roms have a lot more support and quicker bug fixes than normal stock roms, which is strange considering the tech teams are supposed to know everything.

I'd suggest rooting, but be sure before you do :) we all know they wouldn't honour your warranty. Idiots!

Root & free yourself

Hey Smidgeox. Nice to see you took the plunge :laugh: I did too :p and am glad I did. I went with ARHD 8.1.0 and am loving it. You're quite right, 3 UK and their warranty is a joke.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i waited for a few weeks before i rooted my phone in the hope s-off would of been available..anyways we know what is happening with that so i went ahead and rooted. never looked back to be honest with you..anyways gone already though through three phones with 3. the last one was unlocked and rooted. when i send it in for repairs i made sure i had the stock rom that came with the phone and left the phone unlocked..they fixed my phone without no problem and not asked me why it was unlocked what so ever...and warranty is still intact...;)
[HTC One X] kennylovesyou:
I had a desire before and I unrooted, flashed ruu/bootloader back to stock before sending it off to htc for repairs, they didn't seem to notice.

Can the same be done with the one x, thus keeping the 'warranty' intact?

root the one x via htcdev, unroot if needed when sending it back in for repairs?

Or once you root, the warranty is definately gone and htc will not repair the unit in the future?

90% committed to rooting, I'm tired of waiting for Three!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
like i said mate. i unrooted and went back to my backup which was the stock rom that came with the phone. stuck the stock recovery as well and boot.img and send it for repairs..they did not ask for anything else nor asked me to pay anything extra..everything was covered by the warranty...as long as you do not blow up your motherboard of the phone then you should be covered
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Yeah i agree, in all honesty i don't think these techies know anything, they've got checks to do, steps to follow they don't seem to have any sort of knowledge or qualifications to understand it.

As long as the stock rom is on, stock recovery is on, (possibly relocked bootloader) i don't think they're likely to pick up on the fact,

Unless of course it's physical damage you're sending it back for that's a different matter but, software i don't think they're the sharpest tools in the box.

I don't see why this should even be considered when voiding your warranty.

Bloody corporate companies :mad:
[HTC One X] Goku80:
haha your so angry:p and no need to relock it...just as long as the above steps are followed who ever sends the phone back should be fine depending what the reason is for sending it in the first place is

and yeah i know what you saying but not much we can do
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Nice to see you have a custom rom now :). Its shocking that three still havent released 1.29.401.11
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I have no idea why i didn't do it sooner :silly:

Never looking back now, I've gone to the dark side :cool:

I know, Three have practically pulled a middle finger to all their customers now, it's beyond shocking for me (although doesn't matter to me now :victory:)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
next time get an unbranded phone:p
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I'll bare that in mind, although i had a unbranded HTC Sensation XE and 'broke' that in the process of custom romming, although i was naive and now i know exactly where i went wrong haha.
[HTC One X] dingbatt:
Okay so to update. I have just received an update to 1.29 5 minutes ago. Jumping straight from 1.26. Even though I am on the other side of the world I am hoping that the roadblock that was holding up my update has also been removed from yours.
[HTC One X] sibv1970:
The following was extracted from an email from HTC Tech Written (?) Team sent to me today:

Unlocking the bootloader in itself will not void the warranty for the phone, but loading another ROM onto the device will risk the warranty becoming void. SIM unlocked devices will still be restricted to the firmware updates released by the original mobile network. Unlocking the phone will not allow unbranded ROM updates to be installed.

So still no way for me to legitimately bypass Three to make my phone work.
[HTC One X] :
Is this from HTC or three???

There seem to be a lot of reasonably clueless idiots working for Three Mobile... I reckon our best bet is to all email them asking about unlocking via htcdev in the hope that JUST ONE responds saying that Three won't invalidate your hardware warranty if you unlock. That might be enough.

I just unlocked and rooted yesterday cause I'm pretty sure my hox is an ok one but appreciate the difficulty some have with this.
[HTC One X] sibv1970:
Sorry this was from an HTC Tech. Both companies are almost impossible to get a straight answer from.

I wish I could be sure that my HOX was good enough to tamper with, but existing issues abound and are joined in the last 48 hours by a GPS that is all over the place when the handset gets warm.

I think it's time for me to give in as it is now definitely more trouble than it is worth. Gutted.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Hey, i also suffered from that jumpy GPS lock when on the stock rom, until i custom rommed it. Now currently my phone is flawless.

I'm not suggesting you use a custom rom, but i'm just saying don't think it's a severe problem which cannot be fixed :)

Chin up :)

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

HTCdev method clearly states it will void your warranty? Talk about going back on there words haha!

Also, i'm on 3UK currently using the ViperX rom by Team Venom, which is based on the 2.05 base (WAY ahead of Three) and they push updates to my device via ota? Sooooo?
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
When I spoke to 3 about a replacement phone because of gps they wanted to send it for repair they told me that they send them to HTC for repair and its quicker then sending it to HTC directly whether this is true is anyone's guess!

I got a replacement by the way and now gps is spot on

It's about time they pulled their finger out their arse and got on with this update!
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
It is actually quicker as I have sent it of twice with 2 replacements as they don't do anything in repair and just waiting on me third one to come back so i can demand a 3rd replacement !

Sent it of Tuesday and got my text message today saying that will be back with me in 24 hours....
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Did they give you a replacement phone in the meantime the hox was away? I will need to do mine because of the yellow spots
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
No I got a replacement phone as it was within the 30 day satisfaction period
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Thanks for that. Mine is four months old and the spot just got worse within the last couple of weeks.

Will see what they say later. :)
[HTC One X] gmcrobb:
I work for three and I know how upset people get with the 28 exchange rule but that is not three's fault, thats down to HTC. They state that all exchanges are done within 28days. Over that has to be sent for repair. I have the one x and not had much issues but would think of rooting it or do I what for jelly bean and then root and custom Rom it. I will decide that when the times come but please don't knock us about exchanges when its part of your 2 year HTC warranty.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
So surely yourself must understand how your OWN company and employers cannot release an OTA in time compared to the rest of UK networks? The replacement process may be HTC's policy but the OTA releasing process is your companies duty and responability.

I myself, have given up on 3UK and obviously have flashed a custom rom & i've NEVER looked back, best favour i ever done for myself.

Screen flicker disappeared three days after i flashed it, storage was fixed, LOADS of other bugs were just vanquished!
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
No mate, we are upset with three because they can't be bothered to release the 1.29 update in the UK, three months after it was released. We want updates as soon as possible after htc release them, not stupid excuses. Note to self: never, ever buy a branded device again....
[HTC One X] Te Kaihau:
not to mention that the exchange rule clashes with UK consumer law.......

but, yes, this update thing is beyond a joke. I'm hoping that they'll release the next big update very quickly, considering it's due relatively soon. in the meantime, this does leave me regretting my decision to go with a branded three handset as well.

I'd we don't get the next update in a timely fashion, then I'll be looking to root. I'm interested to see how all this impacts consumer rights as well, legally speaking.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I'm still hoping that 3 are going to launch 2.xx at the same time as HTC do for unbranded. Several 3 reps have stated that they are skipping the 1.29 update.

I know this might be a long shot but I can dream.
[HTC One X] sibv1970:
Sorry to be thick, but if they skip 1.29, does it also skip the benefits in it.

Not good if they do, as it addresses most of the issues with my HOX.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
No, all updates would be rolled up so you would benefit from any enhancements from previous updates without any of their pitfalls if they were corrected (kinda like how windows update works, you know, you can either do all the updates or just apply SP1 and get them all in one).
[HTC One X] Brac20:
So we're now officially 2 updates behind *sigh*
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Maybe 3 waited for this release but technically if you are still on 1.28 you are 3 updates behind :P
[HTC One X] Brac20:
1.28 --> 1.29 --> 2.17

2 updates behind
[HTC One X] ste1164:
1.28, 1.29.401.07, 1.29.401.11, 2.17 so with me being picky you are 3 behind :P
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
Does it matter? 3 are still useless and need to pull their fingers out their arse and sort it!
[HTC One X] ste1164:
No you are right & I am surprised Im sure three were better with their updates than this.
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
I've always known 3 to be a bit slower with updates but not this bad
[HTC One X] vans88:
This is just plain annoying now, ive had this phone for 3 months and only 1 update out of the numerous there have been?!
[HTC One X] Ogner:
I am also not happy at all the rubbish 3 include on the ROM. Last year my O2 branded SGS!! just had an o2 splash screen and an o2 arena wallpaper. It was so easy to debrand using odin and an unbranded samsung rom. I'm now looking at the 3 rubbish I've disabled. It includes:

- 3Apps

- 3Fyll Pa (Swedish)

- 3Lociloci (Italian)

- 3Mobil-TV (Austrian)

- 3MobileTV

- 3Navigator

- 3Favourites

- Inside3

- 3Internet

- 3Music

- Nyheterna (Swedish)

- Planet3

- Planet3 again

- 3Three App (Usage)

IMHO my phone has such limited battery life and overheats it is not fit for purpose. The lesson is that next time I will go with a nexus phone, a samsung galaxy or even a nokia windows phone. HTC and LG have both delivered some excellent hardware this year. In LG's case the networks won't stock it, In the case of HTC they are able to damage the customer experience due to poor quality software support.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I'm sorry but I will have to disagree.

It's common knowledge that brand new phones will suffer from bugs, hence why software upgrades happen, however branded phones such as three do not get controlled let's say by HTC, three decide to release the ota for their customers on branded devices & HTC decide for unbranded. HTC I believe, have worked hard with their customers to iron out the problems. Hence why on the software upgrades many known battery bugs, screen bugs have all been vanquished.

I love my phone now & had to understand bugs happen and companies will get round to it.

I'm backing all my stuff up before I root as I don't really want to wait for three to drag me along longer with their 'delays'... I used cid getter to find out some of my information and as shown here my cid should be H3G__001 but it is HTC__001 as well as my carrier being HTC-WWE does this mean I'm only with three through simcard?

I only ask this as my last phone (Desire) was orange branded throughout the device whilst this seems to only be apps and sim card:confused: and now i've noticed that my rom version is 1.29.401.11 :/ I am majorly confused now! Anyone with a clue to what my device actually is would be very helpful, I can provide the screenshots if needed :)
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
If your cid is 1.29.771.9 focus on the 771 then it's branded to three UK, if it's like 401 I think it is (don't quote me) then you.are indeed only with three by sim card. You have an unbranded HTC one x

Anyone here hoping H3G are about to update the One X to anything like this level is living in a dream I'm afraid.

Even back in days of winmo and my tytn they were terrible - either several months behind or just not at all in the case of winmo 6.1.

They've been like it for years and will always be like it. Unfortunately just now we have the Bootloader/lock/warranty crap to deal with too. It comes down to this: If the service providers actually provided the service they're supposed to there'd be no need for xda. Three provide terrible service and you're under even more pressure to just put up with it.

Edit: Not sure I was strong enough in fact. Anyone with any optimism that H3G is about to provide an update any time soon must have been sniffing glue AND smoking crack all at the same time.
[HTC One X] vodka_redbull:
I wish I could be as positive as you but Three are crap and giving nobody any indication of what version they are currently "testing". We will be lucky if we get any update this year the way Three are fuc#!ng us all about! :mad:
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you never know what they might have instore..they could be working on JB:rolleyes:
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Ha, ha. Sadly you are so close to the truth. There must be some legal challenge that could be mounted against Three. If a car manufacturer did a recall for let's say a brake issue, and you went into the dealer that supplied you the car, the dealer should also perform the recall on your car.

Anyways, I'm already rooted and enjoy my ROMs, not sure why I ever changed from my HD2, loved that I was swapping out from WP7 to android any time I wanted to.

no legal challenge...if that was the case why not anyone else have made a complaint and mounted a challenge to carriers to release updates sooner then

So which ROM have most of you gone for instead of being stuck on Three's outdated platform? I'm currently using MaXimus 2.2 (and eagerly awaiting the v3.0).

I'm now on ViperX 2.0.0, best rom in my opinion, can revert it all to stock but it's nice to have the added theming possiblity.

Strongly advise it.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
ive been here longer..;) long story
[HTC One X] wkd2639:
There is a legal challenge - the phone as it stands with Three's current software implementation is not fit for purpose - it does not perform it's primary purpose (that of being a phone) due to the fact it cannot stay connected to the network. They are therefore breaking the trade description act. Additionally they are charging us to use their service - when they know that most HTC One X users will be very lucky to get a decent enough signal to use the service - at a stretch - this is possibly fraud (charging for Goods and services that you are not delivering). Finally being one software release behind unbranded users is acceptable, being one software update behind every other network in the country is getting into dodgy territory, being multiple software updates behind unbranded users is getting silly - if you aren't going to unbrand my phone and you aren't going to keep the phone up to date, then I don't see why I should have to keep my direct debit up-to-date either. There is no excuse for the way they are behaving - why bother to brand the phone if you aren't going to update it. Surely it is easier for everyone to just let it go unbranded.

Finally - the fact that one of the mods wrote "just so you know, we are not obliged to release every maintenance update" speaks epic volumes of negligence - I could agree that they don't have to release every feature update - but not releasing maintenance releases is unacceptable.
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Well said. Agree with every word.

Pity H3G still couldn't give the tiniest of poos what we think. Till we simply stop taking their contracts they won't change. H3G are tw@ts but so are we for still buying their stuff. It's a massive shame that as a business they're not self motivated to attempt to provide good service.

I'm just trying to relax about the phone flashy thing anyway. It's not been the same since my HD2 anyway.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Yep, nothing will ever come even remotely close to the legendary status of the HD2... I've even been contemplating selling my HOX, and just repairing the screen on my HD2. It has WP7 on it at the moment and to be honest it runs so smooth and boots so fast that I miss it. Really only got the HOX cause I thought I could use it to watch the F1 on sky go but that ain't going to happen anytime soon.

Might wait till WP8 comes out then jump ship with what ever HTC is bringing as their flagship then.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Sorry, I’m going to have to disagree in some respects.

I’m on Three and WAS suffering from three’s lack in customerservice and ability to release a bloody update in a decent time period, beingon 1.28 (the current threeuk version), I was suffering MAJOR bug problems suchas the screen flicker, storage space bug etc, etc, etc.

However, since I took the plunge into the dark side (customrom & root), I’m just speechless, it’s a different phone, honestly.

I’m currently running the latest (to my knowledge) HTC One XICS Base, {2.17.401.2}, it’s just unbelievable, incredible how much of a differencethis has made to my phone. Like I said, it’s a different phone all together andit’s blown all rival phones out the water… (in my opinion).

Honestly guys, do not judge the phone on the current stateit’s in (due to Three NOT HTC) it gets better, much, much, much better!
[HTC One X] wkd2639:
I keep forgetting that when I had my HTC Desire it was unbranded. That's why I had no experience of just how bad Three are at releasing updates.
[HTC One X] BeatsByMessi:
I wasn't planning on rooting just yet but it looks like three have given me no choice. However it looks really daunting. I rooted my HTC Hero a while back but that was really easy. All I had to do was download an app and it did all the work. It took literally seconds to root the phone but with the One X it looks so much more complicated. Although there are probably some really good step by step guides which ill have to check out soon

To those of you who have rooted and installed custom roms, have you experienced any of these so called 'bugs', 'issues', 'bull****', (whatever you want to call it) that three say are in 1.29???
