Go in to Apps, clear the cache and storage for the standard versions, force close them, then hit the disable button. The premium versions of the apps will then replace the standard versions where HTC has them linked or referenced in Sense. You should do this for apps you don't use so they don't waste memory and show up in sharing and menus too.

Liking the sound of this! I also got my phone through Carphone Warehouse, and although they agreed to repair or replace my phone and issue me with a replacement in the meantime (albeit a cheap Nokia) I haven't sent mine off yet as have been busy with work and need my phone for Emails whilst on the go etc. May well go into the store tomorrow and quote this and see how it goes for me. Cheers for the info

Mhm i don't know what they have done because the heat Problem? But my SH25 doesn't have it, I played Max Payne on the balcony, in the Sun at 30 Degrees Celsius and it run and run. Max. Temp. was 49 Degrees. :)
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:
Did you monitored gpu as well? I get crazy degrees when charging while doing something else at the same time. Have had it up to 83 degree celsius.

If you're using your phone for business I'd consider keeping a old ultra-reliable Nokia or such as a back-up to pop your sim into.

I love the look of one x, but after owning one for four days. I am thinking that this is ridiculous, my phone is declared DOA and at the dealers. And I am guessing the next one will be DOA too, and if someone asks me if it worth buying my answer is Hell NO

Check my other posts mate, it has been a bit of a nightmare but im getting somewhere now. Still there are others who have had it worse than me, at least i have a handset to use at the minute.

Update from saturday, exchanged the second handset today in store after a lengthy(read costly) phone call to phones4u head office and tech support to yet another HT23W, all good so far, i did check all their stock trying to get the latest s/n i could but they were all 23W. While i appreciate HTC now addressing this and phones4u not putting up too much resistance i am getting sick of having to chase around making phone calls, going back to the shop several times all to get a reliable handset. I too wonder whether we are all being a little too patient and understanding.

Thankyou, at first there was no disable, i had to uninstall the updates first, then disable showed up, thankyou.

Fixed the wifi issue today by myself! But broke thw mic function,now nobody can hear me..have to plug earphones with mic to use the phone now..

Careless opening of the case that was using a knife. Expensive toy to mess with..!

Just curious for those of you with the wifi issue..those original housings on ebay can they help in any way?

I did the diy repair

I had the wifi issue yesterday with my hox tegra version. I called HTC cs usa/Canada (I'm from montreal) but they answered me like if they weren't aware of this issue. I spent 43 min trying to explain that the issue was hardware related and finally they asked me to send my device to Houston Texas for repair. they explained my that their shifty policy was to charge me at least 20$ and shipping costs. I was waiting for their email with all the information for the shipping and it never come. I called back,a15 min call to explain I did not receive their email. They told me that the email will be resent. 10 hours later still not received. I went through the xda forum and saw so many horror story about htc repair center that it scared me to ship my phone to them. So I choosed to open the casing of my phone and do the diy repair.and it was really easy and now it work perfectly. I just bent the antenna contacts upward a little bit. I opened the the case using a guitar Pick by gently prying from the bottom to each sides. Thank you for this thread xda members and shame on you htc

Feel free to read the experience i had with the HTC One X link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27885398#post27885398

I get my replacement today, just waiting for email from DPD to give me a time, i have a question, as anyone atually recieved ear sponges to go with the headset, i just realized, in all 3 boxes i didnt get any sponges, is this how it supposed to be, how does the headset stay in your ears, those sponges stop the headset from dropping out?
[HTC One X] Mojofilter9:
No probs. Yes, in the UK with Orange.

2 years later and my legend is still going strong, not one issue, i guess this will be my last working htc.

[HTC One X] boe323:
Im really considering getting an exchange for the galaxy sIII, the sound on htc onex is terrible anyway, they give you beats audio but take away the option to adjust the beats audio,its either on or off, you can use the htc enhancer or set it to beats, thats it, when you download a 3rd party eq, you get a conflict because there one already running that you cant adjust. Is there any beats audio software that we can download, like the bass and treble sliders?.
[HTC One X] Mojofilter9:
I didn't include this in my first post because I don't think that anyone should have to settle for a repair, but IF you do agree to a repair, you should be compensated for the difference between the One X and the temporary phone you receive as a replacement if it's a cheaper model.

If you don't get a replacement phone then you should be compensated for the full amount of your contract over the period that you're without your phone. The retailer would also be liable for any tangible losses you suffer while your phone was away, such as loss of income etc…

I didn't need to use this and probably better not to unless you really have to go nuclear, but they said that I *may* have a legal case against them if anything bad were to happen to me as a result of being without a phone. In my case it would have been missing the birth of my baby, but I suppose getting stranded because your car broke down in the middle of nowhere and you couldn't phone anyone etc.. Would be a similar situation (although that's just my take on it).
[HTC One X] Hen - CodeMonkey:
I've been reading this thread with interest and once I seen that HTC confirmed it was a hardware issue I sent my phone off to them for repair. My thinking was that no one would be better equipped to deal with the issue than the Manufacturer...well...it appears I was wrong.

Got my phone back from repair today and it still has the issue! It looks like they have replaced the back cover with a new one, but the WiFi is still poor, albeit better than before. Of course the default test is to squeeze the back in the correct place...once I do that...full signal.

Mega fail from HTC.

I'm going to Carphone Warehouse today to see what they say...it could be time for a Galaxy SIII even though I love the One X, as I work in online tech, not having WiFi isn't an option.

I hope other have better experiences that I did!
[HTC One X] cdbwhoop:
Sorry to hear that but I'm not surprised. Hope Carphone warehouse can give you a replacement.

I got my phone back from UPS yesterday. The packaging it was returned in was minimal and the phone was rattling around inside the box. No surprise then when I opened it up and the replacement case was scratched. At least the wifi is working again.
[HTC One X] boe323:
Here you go ppl, i have an email from htc regarding repair and warranty,

Thank you for your email.

As a manufacturer we offer a warranty repair service, and if a replacement device is faulty this is all that we would be able to offer. If the replacement device is in fact faulty then I would recommend that you exchange the device with the retailer as we are unable to offer a replacement.

However, I assure you that the likelihood of you receiving a second faulty product is very slim, as this fault has been rectified.

To let me know I have successfully answered your query, please follow the link below to close your enquiry, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your experience contacting me today.
[HTC One X] liberator72:
Thanks for all the info you've given. I've just been rained off of work today so it looks like I'll have time to pop into Carphone Warehouse this afternoon. I'm gonna try and use the info you've given and see how far I get. Will drop an update here later this evening as to how it goes for me. Considering they have done it once (via a call to head office if I recall what you said correctly) that may have set a precedent for them and if that's the case mabe all Carphone Warehouse customers will get the same result. We shall see :)
[HTC One X] boe323:
Wow, i just recieved my replacement, not only does it have the wifi problem straight out of the box, my touch screen as got yellow spots at the bottom and its very very unresponsive to slide movement, no matter how much i try to flip screens i just get the click instead, wtrying to scroll up is the worse, 1in 10 times it will probably scroll up, im so f---k--g angry, reall angry, this is my 4th phone now, theyve all ben sh25 aswell, this is the worse out of all the phones ive had, i new this was going to happen, im not standing for this, im quoting the trading standards from that post earlier and getting a galaxysIII, unless i calm down soon ill have no phone to return.

The only comfort I can give you is that you're not alone. Many times I have wanted to throw this device and start over with another brand.

[HTC One X] boe323:
Ive calmed down a little, i dont want another model, i want the htc oneX with no issues, i want the sense, otherwise i would gladly have the galaxy, even though it is samsung, im trying to update the os over wifi, its major slow, other 3 were fast even with the signal issue, this one is the one i had nightmares over, i knew this one was coming, all the harware faults and all the issues all in one phone.Ive been intouch with vodafone, but i have to wait untill they recieve the one sent back, i did get £10 added to my account, and explained that im not blaming vodafone, its htc thats the cause, if they would just do a recall then none of this would be happenening, and they really need to tighten up on QC with these screens, its horrible having that yellow mess at the bottom of the screen and a spot of yellow just above the left corner.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Also, what is the hole for by the jack, it looks like a microphone hole, right next to the headphone socket, first time i noticed one.

I found the cause of unresponsive screen, the charger is doing it, and over heating is making even less responsive.
[HTC One X] liberator72:
I had the uresponsive screen with charger lead at first. Was using my old Sensation XE charger to begin with but changed the cable and it was fine after that. The hole at the top is a second microphone for noise cancellation and stereo recording videos.

As an update to me going into Carphone Warehouse. They refused to change my phone on the spot and again agreed to replace it once it had been verified with thier repair department that I do have the WiFi issue, despite me proving it to them in the store and me quoting what Mojofilter9 had said in an earlier post. The shop was busy and I kept 2 of them busy for over an hour but still got nowhere really. Might take the plunge and try and repair it myself as WiFi is the only issue I have with my phone and I cannot be without my phone for 10-14 days as my wife is due to drop in that time.
[HTC One X] Rhino-2-Horny:
some other forums are saying the heat problems are caused by the antenna pulling more power than it would normally and thats on top of making the cpu work slightly more than it should...

hence the heat buildup when your not actively gaming and such..

i contacted amazon again but nothing on batch numbers so contacted several of the last people to purchase and 1 had **23 and 2 had **24 so no sign of the **25 (my batch) unless they refreshed stock in last 2 weeks.

i maybe think wait till the **27 (july batch) before noticing anything different i dont know.

by then though we will have the rumoured One XXL being unveiled for future date to be released (sept/oct) competing with iphone5 :D who knows .

but really i cant see why they dont slowly reclaim all the exsisting unsold stock swap out with new fixed phone stock and simply replace covers on the old stock its not like there remaking them they are only replacing back cover oh and reflash to newest bios while there at it :D
[HTC One X] Mojofilter9:
Shame & extra annoying because you know that that can do it.

What I do know for sure is that on their system they have a consumer rights guide that states that it is up to them to prove that the phone isn't faulty, rather than the other way around because I heard the manager read it from the screen when she was on the phone to head office.

I was willing if I needed to, to leave the phone in the shop and cancel my direct debit. Looks like it's do that or fix it yourself.
[HTC One X] Rhino-2-Horny:
and to think they are there to look out for the customers wellbeing :D

all these outlets are like politicians :D baby and the lolly-pop...

there all nice and lovie dovie when you buy and sign up ...its like having a new friend.

but soon as theres a problem they dont want to know and start reading the law even though you have a case and its not your fault its the manufacturers :D

seriously i cant tarnish all companies and outlets the same but its rapidly increasing :(

**added on**

an example of a good outlet.

i bought a top of the line tv in 2010 (nearly 3k)... i wasnt happy with the screen quality and had it replaced 4 times till i was happy and the store went out their way to make me happy by delivery and collecting for free untill i was happy with the product ....these phones are no different they are small yes but expensive new tech i really cant see why they are not being replaced if found faulty with the flaw...repairs are done after the 30 days but that is for things like broken screens and such not antenna contacts not being fitted corectly when manufactured (and if opened voids warranty) ....dont car maufacturers recall cars if there a major internal flaw? :D
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
It's a mic for noise cancellation during phone calls
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
no we don't. it's a concept, that htc have bugger all to do with

My phone is FINALLY coming back! Coming Thursday it will be delivered!

I really hope it is fixed permanently and the issue won't come back after a couple of weeks or months!
[HTC One X] Rhino-2-Horny:
no we dont? lol

do you work for htc??

just asking
[HTC One X] boe323:
What a shame, i think my wifi is ok, my 3g signal is amazing on this replacement, i think all i have is the heat issue and yellow mess on the bottom of the screen, my contacts seem ok, but i still have the power management issue where i get close to my router and the wifi drops to -90db, if i go downstairs its stable at -60db, so yeah, my contacts are ok, its the damn screen and heat thats pi---g me off, ive got to risk it and get another replacement, the unresponsive screen is due to the heat from using it and charging at the same time, the screens sensors are having a hard time noticing where im touching the screen.
[HTC One X] carmello1911:
Something totally irrelevant but can someone point me where I can find the stock one x Rom for my phone?
[HTC One X] boe323:
I should of said my contacts are ok not the wifi lol, it clearley isnt ok, because of power management, i think theres 2 issues to worry about, not just contacts but the way the phone manages power to wifi and network etc, when it finds a really good flawless signal it drops the power to save battery, but its doing it to aggressive, i can get a full signal around -23db in the same room as router,but if im only around 2 meters away from router, the phones wifi goes crazy,starts jumping from -90/-80 to -30 every minute or so.

Does it make anydifference as to what colour you get? Does everone on this thread have the same colour when it comes to the fault, ive had 4 grey faulty phones in a row all sh25.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
It also serves as one channel of the stereo mic for video recording.
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Been waiting 4 weeks and today my phone has came back, despite the fact that I sent a link with my phone this this thread and clearly described the fault my phone is still unfixed.

Here is the letter that came with my phone....

The letter is even a lie as I already had the latest upgrade on my phone, so they didn't even do that. Three had my phone for 4 weeks and returned it after doing nothing!
[HTC One X] Rhino-2-Horny:
thats scandalous :(

sorry for the bad news bigoliver as i know you been waiting ages now.. :(

That is just so unbelievable, how can they do that, and take 4 weeks to send it back after doing nothing, even describing fully the issue and pointing them to this thread, that is a joke, thats it, im def not sending to htc now, im just going to keep replacing them till i get a fully working no yellow spot phone
[HTC One X] mravant:
That is sickening :(

Oliver,

I think you should get on the phone with HTC and give them both barrels!!!!!
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Thanks mate, it was exactly 4 weeks from the date I left my phone in the Three Shop for repair until it returned with the same fault, nothing was done to it, not even the software update. My software was already up to date.

Yes I am sure that I legally can, the problem is that ThreeUK and the Three shop are refusing to replace the phone. I am currently waiting for a call from 3uk's Chief Executive's Office, but I was informed about 1 hours ago that this will be within 7 working days, this is no good to me I need a phone now!

I am really sorry to say this, but, I have lost all faith in the phone. This has gone on so long, I have read so many horror stories, people are getting replacements phones from **25 batches with this same fault, plus other faults like yellow spots on the screen (I am not sure but I think these may or may not disappear) This thread has over 1500 replies now and I have read everyone. I don't trust this phone any more, I just want to exchange it for a different brand of phone. People please don't flame me for wanting another brand, I loved HTC phones and wanted to stick with them, but I need a phone I can rely on.

The only plans (may change) so far are to upload a video to youtube showing the fault still exists and showing how NOT to fix the WiFi the ThreeUK way.

Going to the Three Shop on Saturday with my wife (Who has a masters degree in UK Law), some print off about my rights regarding the Supply of Service & Goods Act 1982 and demand either another phone or my contract to be terminated with immediate effect.

Anyone else in UK, Yorkshire with a faulty 3uk HTC One X want to join me? We can demand exchanges together as a group.

Going to my local paper regarding how disappointed I am in my local 3 shop's lack of support.

Any other ideas anyone??
[HTC One X] trevham:
That is just beyond all belief, i think you have every right to go to town on them f***ers. Cant believe that as the guy who started this thread and helped so many of us you seem to have come off worse so far. I will NEVER go to 3.
[HTC One X] Dcrowe:
Standard, generic, bullsh*t reply, copy and pasted together by a company that just doesn't give a crap.

It really frustrates me that these letters are sent out on such a mass scale. Okay, I appreciate that it may be difficult to tailor letters individually for everyone but from Oliver's posts it is apparent that he has spent some time trying to communicate with these people in order to get his phone fixed. Why can't an individual be assigned on a case by case basis to ensure that this gets done, properly, first time.

There is no such thing as customer service from these companies, they feed us these sh*tty letters that act like they've just done us a massive favour with their "We've fixed your phone! - 3" lines or HTC's childish "all good, thumbs up" approach!

There should be more in place to help the consumer in cases like this. Has anyone seen an official announcement about this issue on the htc website or is just from the emails they've been sending out? I want something I can take into a t-mobile shop and slap the staff about with - something that will actually get results...!
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
My YouTube Video

Please all watch this and kindly leave comments, I want ThreeUK to see that treating customers like this will give them bad publicity and lose custom. Plus hopely the Chief Executive's Office might call me sooner, or maybe this is just wishful thinking :silly:
