[Q] Games exit when phone left idle (screenoff+lockscreen) - HTC One X

Hello everyone,
I been using my One X for exactly 1 week, coming over after 2 solid years with a modded Desire.
So far, I cant seem to solve this 1 problem which never plagued my Desire (with its lowly 570mb ram).
Problem:
When I run a game (tried on Princess Punt, Angry Birds space) and i look away for a minute, screen turns off as its normal.
Now on my old desire, when I unlocked phone I got right back into the game. With One X, I am sent to desktop after a brief black screen. I select the game from recent apps, and it starts from title screen? What is going on?
I think same happens to internet aswell but it loads the page up again and most cases where i was reading, so no big deal.
Anyone knows how do I fix this?
Background info:
International One X running official 1.29.4x1.xx
Bootloader unlocked and rooted
Stock rom, no modifications
almost no extra running apps/services. usually 280-400mb free ram.

Search threads about the one X multitasking. The apps are killed more aggressively as needed...

I believe there is a fix for this if you have root

I have root yes and since I managed a nandroid backup last night, not afraid to flash new rom.
Could you kindly point me in right direction?

Built in storage

Ok I am thinkgin about getting this phone but I need to know two things. 1. Is it rootable? 2. How does the onboard storage work and has anyone had any issues with installing lots of games on it? I will probably still get it just because I dont like my s2 but just wanted some input thanks!!!!
Yes its rootable just look on youtube for some videos on how to do it. The onboard storage works normally and installing games is easy. I havent had any problems with it

HTC One X crash - camera usage

Hi All,
Loving my One X and finally understanding why Android works! After having applied various tweaks that I read about on the forums herr, there is just one thing that is now giving me problems...
When I'm taking a photo, as soon it snaps, the phone shuts down and I have to restart. Some facts below:
1. This does not happen always, actually I believe this usually happens when the battery is below 30-35% but works without issues after having restarted the phone.
2. No, I didn't root my phone and am using the stock Rom and yes, I already did a wipe...
3. This is not restricted to the default camera app, happened while using paper camera as well as camera zoom fx...
4. Whenever this happens, after I've restarted the phone, the snap that I took ends up creating a corrupted image file (warning icon) in the gallery. Could be an.I/o issue?
5. I don't have too many apps installed and when I do use an app/game I make sure to close it completely...
Anyone else facing this issue? Thoughts?
I love the One X so far but if app crashes means complete shut down of the entire phone most of the time, I may have to reconsider my purchase as I can't risk that happening when I'm working or such...
I have to admit that I have never been an android fan... My 2 year old Mozart started having issues after I dropped it for the zillionth time (man that device can survive some harsh usage) and though I will move back to windows phone again, getting one now didn't make sense as wp8 won't be supported by it. But the more I use the One X, I love it... I'll be going for windows phone no matter what, but am seriously considering keeping this with me if it holds true to its potential the next few weeks....
So help!!!!!!!!!
Best regards.

I'm already on the latest, I believe, firmware (v1.29.707.11) and thus that wouldn't be it...
Have you tried using a different launcher? Just get the free apex launcher, set it as default, then see if you have the same problem. If it fixes the issue then I'm afraid a factory reset is the order of the day, this will reset sense 4 back to original, then reinstall each app one at a time (games can all go on at once, because it won't be any game causing the issue).
You could use backup pro to backup all your contents etc first.

Haven't tried a different launcher yet... I kinda like Sense. But will see how it goes.
Already did a hard reset to see if that would help and it didn't (got everything syncing with exchange so don't really have to worry about creating backups of contacts, etc.) but will try again if using Apex launcher makes it go away.
One thing that I just remembered... when I did the last hard reset, after i got all my accounts, etc. configured, the phone restarted and continued to restart after startup when i unlocked and got to Sense. After the fourth restart, it stopped... So maybe it is something to do with Sense!?
Thanks!
Try to install the RUU

did you find a solution to your problem?
was it the battery or mainboad?
This is a strange one !! Welcome to Android
Using Apex etc won't make ANY difference for various reasons. 1 - It will still be using the Sense framework, so if it is Sense you'll get the same issue. 2 - The different launcher runs ontop of Sense, so its basically ANOTHER VM within Android.
I agree with someones statement above, if you've already factory reset, try and use the RUU.
If that doesn't work, I'm inclined to say its a hardware issue.
you say it's not the stock camera app but other apps like paper camera? then if stock camera app is working fine just use it, if other apps restarting the phone...because it could be that the apps will do that....or just update your whole phone to really latest base ...it's 3.14....just go in settings- about- then update or so ...if it wont work try to search a ruu for your cid/ or for the base you have like 1.29.707.11 ....therefore you need a RUU which is for x.xx.707.xx base...
Old thread ^^
Anyways... the problem is probably hardware, sounds like the battery doesnt have enough juice to keep the phone working even tho it says it has. Im afraid you will have to use your warranty
i have a One X on O2 in the uk. not unlocked or anything, its running OTA jellybean
have had the phone since 02 first had it available
my phone is also crashing with the camera function. very annoying.
(stock camera app)
i also get corrupted images
it happens randomly

chrome blank screen

Anyone noticed with chrome that occasionally the tab becomes 'stuck' and stays blank regardless of what site (or even bookmarks) you bring up.
Workaround is easy, open a new tab, presto.
But annoying, wondering if anyone seen this and/or come up with a fix.
This happened on stock 1.28, 1.29, now ARHD 7.1 (2.05 base) so I'm pretty sure its not caused by custom ROM.
i have it too

yeah thinking of going back to stock browser until this is fixed!
Same happened to me on my one x as well. Just random blank pages... super annoying but just need to reload a new tab...
Doesn't happen on stock.

Im on the stock browser. This used to happen to me but since the chrome update, its gotten better.
It's got better since the update but this never use to happen when I was using my galaxy s 1.

Yes! Had enough and just reported bug today then coincidentally I see this.
One X to rule them all
Noticed it first time 2 updates ago, getting stuck at blank screen, especially on heavy pages with lot of pictures. Firefox better?
I get this with chrome on my galaxy tab too... Not sure it's anything to do with the One X. Don't think it used to happen with chrome beta so think it's due to some dodgy update.

I get this problem on my one x. It doesn't seem to do it with web pages but occasionally it'll stay blank when I try and open my bookmarks. The only way round it is to close that tab and open a new one. Hope they fix this soon

I'm getting this issue also. Using ICS Browser+ until it's fixed!
It's an issue which is addressed in the Known Issues list of Chrome for Android:
Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.
This is a known issue with the graphics driver on specific devices. We have reported this issue to hardware manufacturers and software vendors and are working to fix it. As a workaround, try rotating your device or refreshing the page to resolve temporary rendering issues.

So... I guess it's up to HTC to resolve this, hopefully in their next update.
Source (I can't post the full url because of my post count, delete the space after http: when copying please):

(Select "Site Display Issues" and then "Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.")
Yet another reason my next phone will be a Nexus
Same here. They have implemented many good features and I love Crome user experience, but the blank pages are so anoying.
I have had it so bad that even a new tab does not resovle the issue and I am forced to use stock browse. I got all stock.
happens on my nexus 7 as well it's not just confined to the one X.
Chrome-dome
Yeah I get this issue too... It's a bugger!
Hopefully it'll get resolved one day as I use Chrome as my main browser, I like the stock browser as it's pretty nippy but can't seem to swing moving over to FF.
To fix this, you can also: Press home button, press (or hold recent apps button, bring up the recent apps screen, swipe away chrome to close it, reopen Chrome and all your pages will reload and work again.
Happens on the TF101 Asus Transformer too. Used to be all the time 1 month ago, now its only occasionally on both devices.
I can just open up a 2nd tab and move along. I don't have the issue every time but when I do get the blank tab I just open up another tab and then I can go.

[Q] HTC ONE X revert Back from horrible JB 4.1.1 NOT ROOTED

Hi ,
Recently updated to JB 4.1.1 from ICS and have found that there is no longer the USB setting select as hard disk so my smart TV will not detect it as an external hard drive anymore.
This mass storage feature was one of the main reasons I went to android and the jerks have taken the option away.
Is there any work around?
any way to get my TV to detect the phone?
or any way to revert back to ICS without rooting?
This is driving me insane.
Spoke to HTC today and they just told me to reset and it should be plug and play. RUBBISH!!!!
Why remove functionality. If I wanted to stay with the similar setup to Iphone , I would have stck with Iphone.
If it needs to be rooted , How? I am very new to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm fairly sure that the JB 4.1 Sense ROM should still have mass USB storage capabilities, but I cannot say for certain since I haven't used it all that much. I just think it is a bit odd that they have deliberately taken it away like you mentioned.
However, I was using CM10 which is a custom ROM based on 4.1 JB and I was able to use USB mass storage with no issues. So assuming your phone isn't some hardware fault, it shouldn't be too hard to get back mass storage by rooting your phone and flashing a suitable custom ROM.
Odp: [Q] HTC ONE X revert Back from horrible JB 4.1.1 NOT ROOTED
No, 4.1 hasn't mass drive functionalities. Only this creepy MTP. It's a 'feature' of Google system in version 4, HTC had nothing done here.

You should probably start your own thread for your own issue.
@OP: Yeah it turns out that Sense doesn't have mass storage. If you do want it, you can always root your phone and flash a custom ROM.
Root your phone, flash clockwork mod recovery and use the mass storage option functionality in recovery. That's the temporary work around for me.. I feel you man.

ViperX rom is custom jb sense rom that can mount usb mass storage. But that would require you to break the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
Other than that there is no way to downgrade without s-off.

MTP connection was introduces with JB. Therefore no mass storage anymore in HOX. But in SGS3 there is an option to select connection type. I don't understand why HTC dint give that option for users as most devices support USB mass storage does not support MTP
In all custom recoveries there is an option called "mount usb storage",
Use it.
