Ok guys, here's a strange one for you. I have no problem connecting my phone via wifi to a router, it stays connected and doesn't lose signal strength like many people have been having problems with. However, when I turn the wifi hotspot feature on, on my One X, the other device can connect to it and use it no problem but the issue I have is that the phone keeps randomly turning the wifi hotspot completely off and I have to keep turning it back on again, this keeps randomly happening, bit of a nuisance when you're using it to connect your Xbox 360 to Xbox Live lol. Could anyone help me out with this please? Thanks for any info guys.

I had this issue until I restarted my phone. After that it was working properly.
But you probably tried that?

I haven't actually tried that mate, but I'll give it a shot. I take it by you saying restarting you just mean switching it off and back on again? Lol.

I know this thread is a little old but I've experienced this problem too.
My first question would be is there a case on your phone? If so, what type is it? What brand? Is it thick? Tight?
I own the nilkin case the white thick one and it's also a little tight.
When I noticed that my bluetooth headset got crappy connection after the case I removed it but i found that my phone has one of those so called antenna defects (if you obstruct the top part of the phone with your hand either from the front or the back the connection would fail. At first I had the phone sent to the store. They claim they fixed the firmware for the issue. Sure enough the bluetooth and the antenna seemed fixed but the hotspot still kept acting up.
Finally, I removed the case and to my surprise the hotspot stopped getting deactivated by itself. This model is known for its poor contact with its antennas (like the asus transformer, i've been told) but affects a limited number of owners.
Let me know if this simple fix worked for you guys.

I recently bought a 2nd hand wildfire s with a faulty digitizer which I replaced myself. It all seemed to be working perfectly until I tried to connect to the internet through wi-fi. It says "wi-fi turning on" but a few seconds later just says "Error" upon investigating I found that in the settings there's no MAC address for the wi-fi antenna.
Is this fixable? Please help as I love my little wildfire s and while it's not a HUGE deal it'd still be great to have wi-fi working too.

Factory reset might help mate.
Or update the firmware using one of the official ruu's in the shipped Rom sticky in the development section.
I'll try that. Not home until monday so it'll have to be then. I should also add that it was locked to t-mobile and I unlocked it with a code bought on eBay.

Should make no difference mate.
Try factory reset first, you don't even need your pc, can do it from the phone.
By the the way, are you sure its not your router being picky?
I've had issues with my netgear not giving a samsung chat and a Nokia c3 access but everything else connected fine including 3 pc's a laptop a tablet and 2 wildfire s.
I'm sure. Surely the Mac address would show up even if the router was acting up? I'm not an expert so I don't know. I will try the factory reset and go from there. Cheers dude.
Just an aside, the plastic cover protecting the digitizer ribbon is insanely fragile. Nothing to do with this topic but annoying none the less haha.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
Ah I see I see, the Mac address only shows up when wi-fi is enabled and seeing as wi-fi can't be turned on, no Mac address. So it certainly seems to be software rather than hardware.

Hey guys,
I've had this wifi antenna issue since long as my phone is from the first batch.
Been to HTC workshop but got a really stupid answer for my wifi antenna issue "he said we are coming up with a software upgrade and that night just fix your antenna issue" not arguing with him I just left and want to know if anyone of you guys have sent your fone to workshop a d what was the result repairing or replacing....
Hope to get a feedback from some Indians who are using HTC one x with wifi antenna issue.
Thanks

I don't find that an issue at all..although never noticed it on my HOX..coz I am not in a habit of holding my HOX in such a way so that I can press the exact spot between Volume Up and Camera n watch my WiFi signal go down by 2 bars

and you should have read what the wifi fault is all about. wifi gets BETTER when you push the spot on the back. so its a hardware fault and no user fault.
Sorry buddy if u feel it's crowded but I really see the need to create a new thread.... Thanks for your awesome reply I am sure your answer is creating a confusion I clearly asked has one sent the fone to workshop and did not ask or an option on how to hold the phone and ignore a factory fault in the device.... So good luck holding your device and not pressing and be happy with your hox
Thanks for your time and reply

Don't live in India, but have a HOX intended to be sold there. WiFi fluctuates at times, but the three times I've tried the squeeze test my signal actually dropped (good thing). Just give HTC a ring rather than going into the store

Since there is a Indian owners thread, it would have made sense posting there.
As for your issue, its reverse death grip like N3m3515 mentioned. If your wifi improves on squeezing the region between volume and camera, you have the issue.
And for HTC Service center in India, just put a sofware like wifi analyzer on your phone to prove you're facing the reverse death grip and argue with them about it being a hardware issue and not software issue. I haven't dealt with them, I myself am facing this issue but my warranty is in the UAE and trying to get it fixed here(India) is chargeable by $35(cost of sending it to an international htc service center -_-)
So I have to wait till I go back to the UAE and hope they don't catch my phone having been unlocked by HTC Dev.
Hello, I am from india and looking for buying a new phone. Can you please tell me what are the problems and disadvantages of HTC ONE X.

I had the WiFi issue and I got the same reply when I called HTC support. Subsequently, I went to the service center and explained the issue in detail. I was issued a DOA immediately. If this does not help, you can write to [email protected] and [email protected] explaining your problem and demanding that your phone be fixed or replaced. Also, make sure you are actually facing the problem.. a lot of people (like LakshayX) don't understand the issue and few others are simply paranoid. The only way you can get your phone fixed is to keep following customer support and escalating the issue till you get a satisfactory reply. Hope that helps.
Randomly today my wifi won't connect to my router. It's not my router that's the problem as I can connect other devices fine. The phone just doesn't see the router. I've tried two routers and it just doesn't show either in range. The only way I can get it to connect is if I stand right next to the router I get a connection but no signal bars and it doesn't let me browse the Web or anything.
I read the wifi signal fault thread and I tried to squeeze the handset and boom I got some more bars of signal!! I never had this problem before. My phone is unlocked so I'm screwed...

Unlocking didn't cause the problem, so according to htcs warranty you're still covered. This problem is known by htc as I'm sure you know
If you are from UK, the law is on your side anyways so you don't need to worry.
You can either repair yourself, but I'd recommend getting it done properly
If htc give you problems about repairing it free of charge under the warranty, let us know

Seriously dude, don't bother wasting your time sending it to HTC getting it fixed. You will lose your phone for a long time and have a nightmare because of the unlocked bootloader.
Either get it repaired from where you bought it, or fix it yourself. It honestly is very easy to fix and takes about 10 minutes.

I do understand, but if op is from uk then all is good, htc can try and say no, but all it takes is them to realise you're going to take it to small claims court and win, and they'll back down without a doubt
They wouldn't let it go as far as court

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue with the headphone jack I've started having. The HTC headphones supplied have stopped being recognised. They work in other devices just not in the HTC one x. Now if plug a different type of headphones into the phone they work and are recognised. This problem only started about a month ago before that everything was ok. I'm guessing its a fault with the phone but just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue albeit a little differently. My personal earbuds get unrecognized frequently after plugging for a little while. It happens even if I leave the jack stationary and not touching the phone at all and after 2-3 songs it will stop recognizing my earbuds.
Tried on 2 earbuds same result. Wanted to send in for repairs but have no idea what to tell HTC. Cos it happens randomly.

I had this problem mine used to disconnect and connect randomly i used a app called Sound About by David Woods from market the override the detection of headphones and this worked great. In the end my phone had signal problems so was replaced. Give it ago if you dont want to send phone off.
Thanks a lot for your help. The app seems work.

I had the same issue a few months ago.
After some time i did send it in (htc picked it up thenext day) and they replaced the headset connector.
Since then no problems anymore.
You can also go to Htc certified repair center for this replacement.

backup your data and try a factory reset, if again it don't work you may have hw issues :S
I think its hardware problem.. Just like the famous wifi antenna issue.
Your HOX's antenna pin must have bent down, and its not touching the case anymore. That's why you are having a poor signal reception..
Take apart your HOX and look for the bent pin. Refer this guide for more details:

It more than likely is, dropped my HOX on my front door step and had wifi issues. Repaired myself using wire and solder technique. Better than new!

I showed it to a service centre near by and he says this PROBLEM has no solution at all..
He says there's something wrong with the Amplifier Box on the mother board and it needs to be replaced to make network work and he says though after it is replaced it has only 50-50 chances of working or the motherboard getting doomed totally!
