Timeline:

June 2 - Massive Wi-Fi hardware fault thread started

June 18 - HTC acknowledges the problem

July 4 - The UK carrier 3 discloses what the fix entails meaning they've received communication from HTC

So from when the problem was first reported to the time a fix was filtered down to field service centers was about a month. Once the problem was identified HTC had to design and manufacture parts, develop procedures for field support people to apply the fix, and get both out to repair centers all over the world. That's pretty reasonable speed for a multi-billion dollar corporation. During that period, and before the fix was announced, many people sent their phones to HTC for repair multiple times getting it back with the problem unresolved. An expected outcome. Personally, if my phone was affected, I'd have waited until the fix was announced and probably a bit after to ensure all the parts and procedures were in place before sending my phone in. From reading people’s experiences with HTC’s UK service centers there’s clearly some issues. But those issues are separate from the timeliness of the specific repair for the Wi-Fi problem.

I'm honestly not trying to pick a fight here, I am just curious, why are you always defending htc?
[HTC One X] zuadao:
He´s not. if you were the only one the service would be great...
[HTC One X] Zulake:
Two and a half weeks? That's quite fast. They took about five and a half to repair mine.
[HTC One X] random_username_:
I'm not talking about this thread alone. Also their competitors have much faster turn around times e.g. samsung with the s3 which has shipped over 6.5 million units of a single mobile phone.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
If they suck, why do you buy their phones?

Hamdir's a big boy and doesn't need anyone to speak for him. Speaking for myself, I defend HTC on the forum where it's warranted. Many of the gripes and complaints are petty and could easily apply to any mobile device manufacturer. It's a public forum and people with issues should voice them. But the repetitive posts and pile-ons over some of the less significant issues would lead people looking to buy a One X that it's a piece of garbage. It's not. HTC rushed the One X to market, I'm guessing to beat Samsung and the SGS3, and it had more s/w and QC issues than it should have. Any reasonable person reading this forum could draw that conclusion. But the amount of threads and posts dedicated to repeating the same problems, issues, and experiences ad nauseam is unwarranted, doesn’t represent the majority of user’s experiences, and is a violation of XDA's forum rules. I've been on XDA since 2009 and this forum is the most emotional and overwrought of any I've participated in. And I’m not a HTC “fanboy.” My previous phone was a i9100 I had for eleven months and I own a UK G-Tab 10.1 which I think is great. The One X is my first HTC phone since the WinMo HD2.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Edit. Never mind
[HTC One X] droident:
A manufacturer can still make a brilliant product and suck at every other part of it's operations.

Lenovo make some of the most well-built laptops but their after-sales is quite simply chronically poor.

My opinion on HTC is that they make good phones if you're prepared to hand over the dough but after that, they're generally lousy with major Android updates outside their latest and greatest (for example). Also heard bad things about HTC's repair service so this thread comes at no surprise.

Also, it's anything but bad that HTC is being criticized. It makes it public that they need to improve.
[HTC One X] ghost-5:
I need to send mine off for repair as the screen is coming away from the case, but with stories like this it puts me off.

I need to get it sent in at some point though!
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Id send it away not everyone has a bad experience just some people do.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
???

Come on, the Incredible S just got ICS, name one other phone released in that time that has gotten an ICS update.
[HTC One X] random_username_:
Where at any point in my two replies did I state they suck? I am a big boy too so my reasons for purchasing my phone do not concern you. Secondly I have had good experiences with htc and I read several reviews (some from xda) praising this phone to no end. As you mentioned this phone was rushed to market and has several flaws, if htc really cared about the customer and wanted to provide a good user experience they would have waited until it was ready to release it. I don't see your problems with the threads being created, in my opinion they are a good thing to inform anyone considering the phone of the amount of issues it is facing, it is like you are trying to sweep it under the carpet. I am not a fanboy either I have owned a device running pretty much every os on the market right now but this is one of the worst quality control problems I have seen.
[HTC One X] leoni1980:
Mine came back from its second repair yesterday for a dead pixel and missing front camera lens. For the THIRD time I have a dead pixel. That's three screens with dead/stuck pixels in a row. Either I'm unlucky or these screens are prone to it. To top it off, they replaced the body of my phone with a white one with scratches on the camera lens.The serial number matches so I can only imagine they've mixed ny case up with someone else's. Lucky for them really as my case was in perfect condition.
[HTC One X] Daley87:
I will add one thing to my original post, I have unlocked ny bootloader so am glad they still repaired it for me :-)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
same here fella..i had an unlocked bootloader and they still fixed my phone:highfive:
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Well said.

I agree, everytime these threads end up in what?

It's boring, frustrating and clutters the board, spoils the fun and making everybody tired.

To my opinion it's selfish and stupid because it does destroy HTC or any other company.

And what does the OP win with it or learns?

Nothing!
[HTC One X] xtacee1990:
Sorry ran out of thanks. But +1

When the One X first came out I used to spend endless time defending HTC as well since I truly believed then that the problems were pure accidental. But after encountering the number of posts about HTC quality issues, both w this device and past devices I have to say I am disappointed. Still like them most out of all Android manufacturers but I can never recommend HTC to anyone in my family and I think the billions of dollars that they have lost is well warranted.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
@Xtacee1990

Yeah sure. :cyclops:
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I get accused repeatedly of "defending HTC." I bought the One X not having had an HTC phone for years because its features appealed to me. If a different brand of phone comes out and appeals to me more that's the phone I'll get next. The biggest poll on the forum with 1K people voting showed that 70% of One X's were "perfect." And that was during the height of the early flickering and screen alignment problems. So if 70% of owners are theoretically happy, why at any given time is 70% of the front page full of complaints? It's because the 30% minority that's unhappy can't stop posting about their disappointment and repeating the same issues over and over again. The only thing I ever defend is objectivity and fact over emotion. Granted, 30% is certainly not an ideal level of less than "perfect" phones, but it's not the train wreck a lot of people are trying to make it out to be.

And you don't now? That's a ridiculous statement. No manufacturer ships a knowingly defective product. The cost of doing so in returns, exchanges, repairs, and lost goodwill with customers and the carrier’s costs multiple times more than spending the money to get it right the first time. And products shipping with defects aren't unique to HTC. The SGS3 is having the same number of AMOLED screen issues as every Samsung device shipped before it. Asus had to issue a public statement that the GPS they provided in the Asus Prime didn't work because of the aluminum casing. LG's O2X/G2X will go down in the annals of history as the worst phone every released. The display in the Xperia S, Sony's flagship, required a massive returns campaign. I assure you, none of that is intentional and wouldn't have occurred if the respective manufacturers saw it coming and/or could have avoided it.

The number of posts doesn’t directly correlate to the number of problems. A tally on June 27 showed 170 people in the Wi-Fi thread indicated they had the problem. At the time, there were about the same number of pages in the thread. That's a page per problem. 170 pages certainly look far worse than 170 problems. Over half the posts in that thread are the same half-dozen people posting amongst themselves.

And HTC rushing the phone out causing so many people to have issues is a disappointment. I also believe they underestimated the number and volume of potential issues. I'm guessing it was a business decision made believing the value of beating Samsung and the SGS3 to market was worth the potential fallout. They're suffering the consequences of that decision and rightfully so. Whether it was the right decision or not will be measured over time.

Just flash the stock recovery back to your tab, not sure if root will stay after the OTA though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
If all you did was root it and nothing else, you'll get the update. Chances are you'll loose root though.

I was thinking the same but was kind of curious.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] this_is_nick6:
That's correct. If you are rooted but still have the stock recovery you will be able to do the update (which I'm assuming will be OTA), but more than likely lose root. If you installed a custom recovery you'll need to revert back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintablet:
Once you root and install custom rom then is it possible to go back to factory state?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Yes. Go to www.sammobile.com, download a stock firmware and flash via odin.

Hello,

I tried to pull Polaris Office from a Sense 4 rom and install it on ARHD, but I have FC when I try to run it.

Does someone knows how to do that??

The version that comes with sense 4 is much better than the one on sense 3.6, so would like to have it on ARHD.

Thanks!!!

Hi, I have a problem. I like to watch videos and read e-books on my sensation, but the soft key backlight always stays on even though i don't touch it. Is there a mod or a way to turn off the key backlights after a certain time ? btw I'm on Virtuous Inquisition ROM with stock kernel. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Evans.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
I think you would have to flash another ROM to have that feature. I know that ARHD with Leedroid Tweaks will let you disable the button backlight, the new ViperS rom lets you disable the lights as well. Im not sure about Virtuous Inq, never used it:p

OK, I've just tested it, and it works well on AOKP (M6).

The user comments in the above thread seem to be positive enough, so you should be fine.

You can easily add shortcuts on your home screen for easy access to the on/off functionality. (As pictured in the thread also.)

Gonna try it. From the screenshots i could see you could turn off the backlight. Too bad it cant turn it off after a certain time. Thanks for the suggestion

Will it let me to control when the backlight will turn off ?
