We have 2 Diamond Touches about 4 months old, 1 has the Telstra ROM and the other has *A.Z.T.O.R. X. When a call is being made or being received most of the time the phones will reboot. Is this a common problem?
1) Should I call Telstra and see if they have an update for this problem?
2) Has anyone got the original ROM from Telstra that I can download? If not
3) Is there a way I can rip the ROM from one phone to another?
Thanks in advance.

Flash other ROMs on the phone and see if the problem still exists...?

Hi all, Ive been a member here awhile (since my first tilt). I now have a tilt 2. Now i need some advice from the people that has more experience than i. Here is my question, I'm under the assumption that the radio in the rom is what gets the reception for the phone during a call. My problem is my new tilt doesn't have the reception the old tilt had. With the old phone i could talk almost anywhere, The new phones reception is horrible. What rom could i use to get my reception back? I love my new phone, But with the horrible reception I'm thinking of returning the phone. Thanks in advance.
PS my current radio version is 4.48.25.20. I am also located in north Mississippi.

Yes, you are correct, the radio is what handles the phone call communication (as well as 3G, wifi, and bluetooth)...and using different radios can improve reception.
You can indeed replace just the radio, and not everything else on your ROM...but the procedure is pretty much identical.
A list of ROMs avaialable with details HERE

Hey thanks for the confirm, Now one more question. When i try to open the RHODIUM-HARDSP i get a virus warning. It says BLOODHOUNDw32ep virus detected. Has this file been infected or is it ok. If infected where can i get a good file? And again thanks for the info. PS i downloaded the one for the verizon network(cdma i think) and it opened fine. I know i cant use this one though.

I beleive that's discussed in the HardSPL thread (make sure you read it all thoroghly!), but that's just a false positive, it's known that some AV programs will give warnings like that on custom ROMs.
I have read till my eyes bled ( dont want to brick my phone) But i don't understand why the other file opened without a warning. Again thanks for the reply.

I bought unlocker from rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com.
I did NOT have any problems to unlock the phone and there was no virus warnings.
After the phone was unlock I load .91 radio and Energy Feb 26 ROM. The phone has much much better reception and faster GPS.
Seems like it's the first thing everyone has done. Getting my replacement handset tomorrow. Wondering whether it's worth doing it. We've seen people have issues upgraded debranded versions - is this still an issue? Are the networks usually slow to propagate manufacturer updates to their users?

It will lock the handset but it's not too much to get it unlocked.
Essentially you make a goldcard which is super simple and takes about 10-15 minutes on a Windows machine and then flash with the generic ROM that can be found on the forum.

I was looking to do the same to save me some battery power. Sounds daft yes. I have an app called Startup Manager and I am sure that a few other people have too. You know that without root access you can't do it and I know that applications use like 60%+ of the battery at all times. I was wondering whether it would be worth rooting a brand new (2 days old) HTC Desire on Orange on contract so I can stop most of the applications on startup?
Right as the only other thread for this update is a "Europe" one, and that HTC obviously thinks the UK is not in Europe, I've started this thread/campaign for comments on this update!
We all know the rest of Europe have got this, so can we please keep this thread UK/Ireland based only!
Come on HTC your UK/Ireland batch of customers are waiting yet again!!!
Please note we are talking about the very latest OTA update here, as per the title of the thread, do not post comments that relate to the earlier update version 1.29.401.7
In other words a post for everyone to say "i've not got the update yet..."

Update 1.29
I got my 1.29 update yesterday afternoon. Doesn't seem to have sorted anything major.
"Phase Beam" live wallpaper still doesn't work. Now, to wait for 1.30.
I have a unbranded handset. No update for me. Not sure if i want to go down the manual RUU route again.
I just used the RUU, all seems to be OK so far
I got it yesterday on the one I sent back today, and got it straight away when turning on its replacement this afternoon. Both unbranded.
Nope! :-( T-Mobile UK
I'm just going to wait again, 2 weeks will go fast and at least it gets tested by others in europe before we get it.
I've got this mobile for 2 years so couple of weeks is nothing, and I must admit the updates are coming thick and fast compared with the desire I had.
I will be checking couple of times a day though lol

Please read through the threads in the One X Forum.
There are two 1.29.xxx updates the has just received the first one that doesn't fix the flicker, the second one is doing the rounds in Europe but not the UK yet, we have to wait another week
The latest update when it arrives in the UK will be 1.29.401.11 and the flickering will take a little time to sort itself out while the phone monitors voltage over the course of a days/weeks

same here branded phone so it is worse for us who have a branded one and one more thing i am disappointed about is that on my s2 say if i was on gingerbread 2.3.5 and a new custom rom based on 2.3.6 took my fancy i could easily update everything and say i was on the latest and greatest firmware..and that was the same with ICS..on my s2 i was on cm9 4.0.4 now here i do not even know if by flashing the latest custom rom i am actually fully updated or not hence why i am pissed off about
Wonder how long we will have to wait this time & i also wonder if HTC have thought up any new excuses for why we are waiting.
We need to find out why UK is being delayed all the time, HTC should give answers!
The first OTA (1.28) was received at the same time as everyone else - however, these two 1.29 updates have both been delayed.
... I hope its not a trend for the UK.

i have a htc one x locked to the 3 network, so far i have only had 1 update a couple of months ago which upgraded me too software number 1.28.771.9 this update cleared the htc sence crashing and at first worked perfectly, months have passed and slowly the charge time has gone right up, while charging and doing other basic tasks various battery monitors showed me it was reaching up to 60 degree's, the phone its self seems to stop looking for network a lot and unless i turn flight mode on/off again it will happily sit idle without network. Finally general battery life is terrible, just general web/facebook browing soon after charge can rapidly drain it. As far as im aware un-branded phones have had 3+ updates for the one x so im confused as to why i havent.
Help Please
if you HOX is defect free:
UNLOCK AND UNLEASH THE BEAST
I don't know which country you are in but my HOX is locked to 3Sweden. The case in Sweden is that 3 has their ****ty thing that they implement their bloatware in every update, hence the slow updates. Anyways, I rooted my phone after a week and currently has ARHD installed, planing to install CM10 when it's good to go for daily usage. ARHD is an amazing ROM, and great battery life to go with that. I recommend to root your phone and install a custom ROM, otherwise you don't unleash the true power of the almighty beast!

im in the UK so im locked to 3UK, i have been debating rooting my HOX but unsure of how, times may have changed since i rooted my htc hero, it seems htcdev.com is a popular choice?

It's popular for the wrong reasons in truth. Only because it is the only way at the moment. To not root the hox, is to have a Bugatti in the garage, or riding with it in town. It needs the racing tracks, the same for hox. The hox needs the rooting and modifying in order to be truly unleashed. Sad but true.
There is another update coming for 3 users there is a thread on it
I'm on the same as you 1.28 but don't have the problems you speak of!
Three UK are saying the 1.29 update will be out this week. Don't know if I believe them but we live in hope!
I have considered rooting as well but I don't want to give up my warranty. In the last few days I am getting the "loading.." message every time I use the home button (sense is crashing). I have had to use a different launcher to make my phone usable for now (and to avoid me throwing it at a wall). I am waiting for the 1.29 update to come then will probably factory reset it and see how it goes.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Also have you factory reset I know it is a pain reinstalling all the apps and setting up everything again but it might clear out the problems you re having

htc one x waiting for update from three uk
Hi I've also got a 3uk phone which I unlocked to all Sims usable, I'm also still only running v1.28 desperately waiting for three to bring out an update I'm having problems with memory disappearing, WiFi problems, my phone keeps over heating and speakers and head phone got this crackling noise. I'm really hoping this update which people say is coming this week will solve all 3 UK problems on there hox
I am on Three too (unrooted), and I am having none of the problems you talked about - although I have just sent mine to HTC to get the GPS sorted out.
I suggest you send yours off too, 1.28 or not your phone shouldn't be having those problems.

Hi according to HTC I voided my warranty because I sim unlock my phone which means that now I can't return it now for repairs.
Don't worry, that's not correct.
SIM unlock is fine, it's the bootloader unlock that they take issue with.

You can now use a SIM from any network -> SIM unlock.
Lots of acronyms there!
Picked up my shiny new M8 yesterday and already keen to desensitise it, having come from a Nexus 5. I've read a few things about the GPE radio not performing as well as the stock one outside the US, but wondered if anyone could speak from experience on the 3 network in the UK.
Many thanks

I'm on vodafone but what I did was open the RUU in winrar and deleted the radio.img so as to keep the original radio.
Having said that when it went to 4.4.4 I left the radio in and all is good.
There should be someone on 3 to give you a heads up though
That's a great idea - thanks!
