[HTC One X] wkd2639:
As an example as to my radio software problems -

During the Olympic closing ceremony - I was sat in a room without a computer, I plugged my phone into the mains so that my battery would actually make it through the programme. Now since the HTC Desire days - in order to make my battery last longer - I have always had Tasker installed and some profiles that perform the following function:

WiFi Connected: Turn off Auto Brightness and turn display brightness down to 10% (optionally speak "WiFi Connected")

WiFi Disconnected: Turn On Auto Brightness (optionally speak "WiFi Disconnected")

The idea being when I am connected to WiFi I am probably indoors so I don't need to screen as bright as Auto Brightness makes it, when disconnected from WiFi I am probably outside and need auto brightness on to combat daylight.

Because Tasker speaks when WiFi is connected and disconnected I know when either event happens.

During the closing ceremony every 20 minutes or so, any apps using data would randomly lose connection for a few minutes and Tasker would suddenly announce that the WiFi is connected. It never announced the wireless being disconnected and the icon in the status bar never showed being disconnected, but clearly it was being disconnected because as I say the likes of Facebook would say the connection had been lost.

As an aside - because the house was built in the 19th century and the attached building that is now our Theatre was built in a similar period, the walls are very thick and we need 2 access points to cover the entire property. HTC Stock wpa_supplicant has always had problems roaming between the two access points (with the HTC Desire roaming between AP's never worked properly until I flashed Oxygen and then CM7).

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

The reason I am holding off unlocking the bootloader is because - until the phone is running a known radio that fixes all the bugs, I won't know for sure if the problems are hardware or software related. (ie there could be a hardware problem but the software being so buggy is making it difficult to tell).

These branded updates are one of the worst things about Android ...

Google really needs to prevent this in future ...

My next phone will be unbranded again for sure ...
[HTC One X] twe69:
Yep unbranded or easily changed to unbranded for me too....
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
What can be taking them so long? :confused:
[HTC One X] mudtail:
Recently my contract came up for renewal, so I went with the One X because Three didn't have any other phones I was really interested in. Delivery date is Thursday this week so I'm really hoping Three get the update out soon. :/
[HTC One X] iMack007:
If only....

That would be nice. As it stands, I feel cheated by 3. HTC roll out the updates, but 3 just drag their feet as usual :-(

I'd like to return the phone as a faulty unit (being that without the update we lose still gigabytes of space on a regular basis) but the phone is simply too good to give up on due to my impatience. If they don't sort themselves out soon, I'm gonna have to consider rooting my device & flashing the stock HTC ROM, so I can get future timely updates. Suppose that will void my warranty though. :-D
[HTC One X] :
When I got my phone I noticed the battery life was bad and when I started the camera I was horrified by them green lines.the 1.28 update fixed that but if I have the phone full brightness I can see the screen flickering .does 1.29 fix this? I'm on the UK network 3 still waiting for 1.29(the HTC is the most amount of money I every spent at on time so I was pissed to find out about all the glitches ,still it's getting PlayStation mobile) :D
[HTC One X] BenPope:
For Europe, there has been 1.29.401.7 and 1.29.401.11, only the last one fixed the flickering.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't as we don't have S-OFF. You can only go for custom ROMs and update accordingly when they release new versions
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
They are so far behind everyone else now that I imagine there is some issue with porting the update across with their customisation. Maybe they've skipped it altogether?
[HTC One X] iMack007:
Ah...I see. Thanks for setting me straight.
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
I have just upgraded through 3 on Tuesday to the HOX and upon getting the phone from the store I was talking to the sales guy who owns one he mentioned that there should be an update in 10 days time! whether this is true or not is a different story!

I have had to wait a few months after others have had updates on phones in the past with 3
[HTC One X] twe69:
I hope so, got my repaired Three branded HTC One X back and still on the same 1.28 software.....
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
It really is very odd - nearly six weeks on and the Vodafone forum is still saying that they have 'no news as to when the update might be coming'. I'm guessing that there must be some kind of issue with the customisation, which doesn't bode well. (Especially seeing as no customers will have wanted the phone customised in the first place...)
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
I personally think its quite clear that certain networks teams dont put enough resources into it and its not a major concern, the don't get that to users its a major concern especially in light of the bugs these updates fix. And they wonder why people want to run custom roms so much at least they are upto date.
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I'm reading on the UK Vodafone forum that someone tried the in-store display phones and both of them were pushing the 1.29 update, so it seems like it's on its way...
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I think display phones tend to be unbranded. The display One X in my local Three store has been on 1.29 for weeks. It was also on 1.28 a couple of weeks before the Three branded update came out.
[HTC One X] vodka_redbull:
Had a frustrating conversation with Three support today.

When asked when the next HOX software update would be available he said my phone would already be on it. When I explained that unbranded phones already have the 1.29 update and we are still waiting he denied it was anything to do with Three! He insisted HTC distribute all updates to the phones and even said no updates have been released yet as the HOX is a brand new phone. I said that was also wrong as I had received the 1.28 update since buying the phone from Three but he just couldn't comprehend this. When I said I had seen comments on the Three support Twitter feed that they are testing 1.29 before releasing it to Three locked phones he once again denied Three have any involvement in the release of updates and said it is down to HTC!

It got quite heated as I said that was incorrect but he just told me to use HTC Sync to check for updates.

I just gave up at this point as I was getting more and more wound up by the fool at the other end of the call. Has anyone been told anything more solid by Three support?
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
They really are making us wait :( ...
[HTC One X] bev309:
This is ridiculous! Three is the last network on 1.28 now!
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
But we was also the first (BRANDED)
[HTC One X] ghori1989:
Three were the same for pushing out updates for the desire. I contacted the three support in May reporting the network problems at home and how i had to toggle airplane mode to get signal. The network team got back to me within a week once they checked the local mast, my home's geographical location and supposidly they cheked my phone(i dont know how). They offered my £5 off my bill or a free home signal box. I took the box option. It plugs into the internet router and it give full signal for calls and H internet round the house.Its an option that three customers can ask for since its free. Im currently on the latest 2.1204.135.20 and the signal level outside my home is much better than before.
[HTC One X] withymanq:
hya mate 3 things what was your cid on you hox and which rom are you using and can i flash the said rom on unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery installed my build is 1.28.771.9 radio 1.1204.103.14h locked to 3

thanx
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
I'm on a 3 branded HOX just like you so our cid's should be the same. In regards to Rom's, I'm currently using maXimus v3.0 (find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601543 ) which you can install on an unlocked bootloader with Touch Recovery. It currently has the New Radio 2.1204.135.20 radio, but to be honest I have found that the last one with the radio version of 2.1204.119.17 to work way better for me. Hope that answers your questions.
[HTC One X] rik-sik:
My radio is 2.1204.135.20 this is on stock Three unrooted too. Confused?:eek:

EDIT

On the bootloader it reports as 2.1204.135.20

In the settings it says its 1.1204.103.14h

A bit weird if you ask me!

Can anyone explain?
[HTC One X] Wood 2 Stone:
Fed Up

Im also getting really anoyed with Three UK not releasing the 1.29 update.My One has little to no storage,rubbish signal including wi-fi and sometimes the phone has a mind of its own & locks up.

Just now had to turn the phone on & off just to get a wifi signal (one bar) even when its stood next to the router.I think I may have death grip but was waiting to see if the update would fix this problem.

However I went into a three sop in my area and all the staff were wearing SG III t-shirts so this might explain alot.::mad:

Is there anyway I can get a replacement One x even after I have had the phone four months?..
[HTC One X] rik-sik:
I think you may have death grip!

I had it on mine , the repair turnaround for me was 48h (sent it Monday at 12 , got it back the Wednesday at 12)

WiFi to my knowledge should be working normal, it is for me and my mates One X
[HTC One X] rik-sik:
Just took the plunge and rooted :victory:

I've got insurance if any warranty issues rear their head, it might accidentally get stolen if they charge too much haha!

I bet the update gets released this week, my luck !

But yeah F**K it I'm Free from THREE :D
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Welcome to the club man, now sit back and enjoy your phone as it was meant to be.
[HTC One X] twe69:
I thought you can't change Radios as that requires S-OFF unless it's official?

Or am I wrong? Root allowd you to change the Radio?

Otherwise I will do that asap!
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
You used to have to be, some change in how HTC does radios I think, I've flashed mine many a time, it doesn't change in hboot though, still lists as your old radio.

But if you check in;

Settings > about > software information > more. It's listed as baseband :)

Me and the other half are both on 3. Infact we have four numbers with them, me, her, and her mam and dad. I decided to sell the previous handset and put the money towards a sim-free One X which now running the sense 4.1 and 4.0.4.

In fairness to 3 if what I have read is true and 3 is going to be a 4G network before the end of the year, then the benefits far out-way the cost.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
That's great, but that don't explain the fact branded three customers are still on 1.28. Thankfully I'm familiar with rooting and custom roms, so I'm able to get the latest base without three :)

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know - today I received a reply to my email from HTC.

It essentially says that Craig has taken my feedback and passed it to the relevant people within Three and HTC. He intends to chase it up later in the week to see what can be done and if there is any information he can share with us.

Craig is the new community manager at HTC UK so he's currently finding his feet.

I know it doesn't tell us much we didn't already know - I have asked for permission to reproduce the email here - since it has the usual "this email is confidential" blurb at the bottom - and I want to play by the rules.

I have given him the link to this thread in case he fancies popping along - either officially or unofficially.

I have voiced my opinion that if a network cannot release an update in a timely fashion - they should be forbidden from branding phones in the future as to the general customer software issues are down to the manufacturer of a device - not the network it is being carried on.

Andy

Btw.. I am with Three in Sweden, current version is 1.29.771... rcvd previous updates within a reasonable time following the generic updates (2 to 3 weeks) now waiting for them to release the latest android 4.0.4 update, will post the release date here as soon as we get it.
[HTC One X] nms247:
Three UK are using the we found a bug in the radio excuse. I have a complaint in which won't go anywhere. They're less than happy I've rooted my phone to get to the latest base. Twitter support says they have no release date and phone support say end of Sept.

This is entirely unacceptable IMHO.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I strongly reccomend it, obviously be sure of what you're doing first! :p

No, i didn't change my rom using the tool kit, i first obviously unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev, then flashed CWM and created a nandroid of my stock rom (incase anything nasty happened of course!) and then downloaded my desired rom (ViperX 2.0.1 - THE best rom there is...) i extracted the boot.img from the rom.zip and placed it in my fastboot folder (c:/android/) and flashed it via CMD (fastboot flash boot boot.img) This is the kernel :) and then i flashed the rom via CWM recovery and voila my rom is now active and beyond amazing! The tool kit just makes it easy and stops people making silly mistakes :)

Hi, if i'm totally honest, i haven't experienced one draw back with using my rom...it's all been positives. The battery life is just incredible, the performance is just wow (that's literally all i can think of which sums it up). Honestly, i can't say i've experienced one drawback?

With the rom i'm using (ViperX) it's basically stock with added tweaks and features. To theme, to personalise really but at the same time the developers (teamvenom) keep all the rom users quickly up-to-date with the latest bases... so you've got a more reliable support forum, better performance, better battery life, quicker updates? I just can't seem to even find the tiniest fault? Not one :victory:

That's the honest truth.

I came from 1.28 (As the thread suggests... still isn't released for 3UK) which was riddled with bugs, screen flicker, storage space issue etc, etc and they were all vanquished when i flashed ViperX, i now swear by ViperX and that's it really. Forget Three, when you can find a decent stock-based custom rom which is x100 better.

That's honest truth :)

(No missing features)

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Haha, they've thought the 'bug in radio' excuse up, for a reasonable excuse not to have released the update. Didn't stop them releasing 1.28 which is riddled with all the bugs under the sun.

If i'm honest the warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on, if it takes the company 3 months to release a simple OTA, do you really expect their warranty policy to be any better? - Come to the dark side guys! :cool:
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
So has anyone who has unlocked gone the route of testing one of the Jelly-Bean roms? I've been following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1763240 and it looks amazing.

I've been thinking of testing a JB rom, haven't done it yet though, i've been reading they're still a bit to buggy and haven't got sensed yet (i <3 sense).

Also, yeah when you flash ViperX in Aroma you can choose to have the red theme or the normal stock lock thingy :), i LOVE ViperX!

I've jumped ship & rooted too. Using the viper Rom atm, but not sure if I'm going to stick with it as I wanted something a bit more 'stock ics', but have yet to try anything else.

Haven't noticed anything that doesn't work, as smidgeox said, it's basically stock with added tweaks & obviously the newest firmwares etc.

Can anyone recommend a stable non sense Rom that has pretty much everything working?

Under the download section, download the 2.0.0 first, then you can ota to 2.0.1 you need first flash the boot.img inside the viperx Rom (I think that's what your flasher does) then copy the viper Rom .zip. and flash it in cwm recovery :)

[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
You will only ever get an H if it's downloading data, otherwise it's 3G, if that's how it's behaving then that's how it should be. If it's flicking between 3G and H when you're downloading, then that's not right.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Mine's flicking when downloading between the two.... Has been doing that since I got the phone except when it says 3G then it doesn't actually download anything. It does now though but still switching.....

I know there are signal issues round me though and I have just moved house which seems to have even more signal issues than my previous house, which is very annoying!

Am tempted to try different radios though to see if it improves anymore.... The one on mine says baseband 2.1204.135.20 (is that the correct one?)

Still cant believe we are still waiting upon 1.29!!! so temped to root but with 1.28 i don't no if phone has hardware faults or software as 1.28 has so many bugs!!!!
[HTC One X] vodka_redbull:
I know exactly what you are saying as I am in the same boat. Lost my rag today and opened a support request on the Three Facebook page. Told them I have now had enough of this situation and I am not willing to live with the bugs without an idea as to when they will release a software update. Told them I want an unbranded phone so that HTC can actually provide updates or to release me from my contact without penalty so I can go to a "proper" mobile provider! I am totally sick of the way they are treating us all.

I suggest more of us start talking to them in this way so that they realise more than a few people are having serious issues with this phone. Don't get me wrong I am expecting them to either ignore me or to just try and fob me off with the same old crap about testing the updates and hope to release them as soon as they can but this situation can't just carry on without nothing being released by them!

I know we could root our phones to resolve the situation but I don't see why I should risk giving up my warranty due to no fault of my own because of a crap mobile provider not supporting their customers.

Good luck mate.
