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!

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.

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.

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?
Went and picked up my one x today and to my disappointment it is o2 branded, couple of apps i cant uninstall and boot and shut down screens but the problem is how long ill have to wait for updates etc... anyone been successful in debranding? Maybe trying to flash the stock europe ruu?
If not I may just root and install ARHD but tbh I just fancied a stock rom and leaving it at that. Thanks.

Did you manage to debrand ur one x? I got one on t-mobile uk and want to debrand it so i can get updates as htc release them.
Im going to have a go later today or tomorrow with a stock ruu, dunno if it will work, also I've put in a request already with o2 to unlock the phone, every little helps on the way to successfully debranding haha.

Ah you will have a sim free one mate, buymobile always send out sim free in my experience, I only got mine from o2 on another contract as it worked out cheaper than buying sim free lol, 180 for phone and then 10.50 a month, ridiculously cheap to be honest.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Updates are based on your CID and not the rom you are running. Flashing a stock WWE release does not mean you will get WWE OTA's. If you want updates as fast as they come from HTC, just keep watching on XDA and flash them when they are available
As far as debranding goes.. you can disable carrier specific apps via app settings. The boot/down animations are just regular bootanim and can be replaced if you are prepared to root. If not, those you'll have to live with for the time being.

I will try my m8's vodafone sim to check, hope you are right
BTW free phone with 300mins ul text and 750mb data for 24months I thought was OK.
128.980.10 is now out on Optus branded handsets. See any difference?
My phone was running great before, but now I am stuck at title screen, and its very difficult to scroll on the menus!
A bit wierd Im sure it will come good.
So I played with it for about 2 mins and it finally cleared up. Running pretty smooth. Some parts are super laggy, but my phone was like that when I first got it. Once I had been around the phone and seen everything the phone behaves super smooth. Its like it needs to see everything one time then its smooth.
Anyways ill report back any noticable differences over the next few days.
Just did the same update and first thing I can notice is that my WiFi has become alot more responsive. Is very quick to react when searching over WiFi and no delays. Apart from that I'm not too sure because it's too early to comment. Will keep all posted

Unfortunately, im getting a wierd error Ihave never seen before, and everything is now reaaaaly unresponsive.

PS My phone is getting worse and worse.. the home keys barely work anymore. i have turned it on and off. I have even done that clear contacts cache under manage sources for contact info. Sometime when I try and wake the phone from sleep with the power lock button, it just stays off, for about 45 seconds. When it comes to, it is almost bricked.. just slow and the menus wont scroll properly.
Ah yes, google search leads me here.

im going to have to start my phone from scratch.. sorry guys I cant recommend this update for Aussie Optus people. maybe its something simple I dont know, but i updated it following the instructions perfectly, and the phone is now screwed. Im going to try and hard reset and reinstall everything on my phone all over again.

You're downloaded update had an error. Are you rooted from HTC dev? If not (judging from your question re hboot) take it back. The update failed and needs to be reflashed. Unfortunately without being rooted this can't be done. Easy enough to gain root but that has other consequences.

Hope this worked but I'm not sure it will. The android core process error is common with flashaholics who have not wiped a phone properly when changing base firmwares. Which is what we have done with the Optus ota. For me it worked fine.

The phone is now bricked guys. No I don't do any of this rooting stuff, I'm just learning the phone as it is from factory. I just got the Optus OTA installed it and now my phone is stuffed.
It's stuck on the 3 android with white background picture. I can't make the menu come up in this white screen. It just says "checking SD card update".
If I go to menu, normal menu with icons and sense 4.0, doesn't like any touch, completely unresponsive and will not accept me doing any functions, including resetting the phone. I can't do hard or soft reset.
Damn Optus update. Even before my phone got that green banding. Now this tops it off.
Two options return and enjoy new one. Or obtain root and flash ruu to return phone to stock software. Pick one and I can walk you through it. Will provide links to show you exact method but without flashing experience you will have questions that I can answer for you. Up to you which path you want to go.

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.

However, the fact that my phone could possibly have a problem out of the box, if I start doing dev stuff, I lose my warranty. Should I wait a bit?

That's a very good point.
Some common problems with the device sometimes only show up after a few days use and sometimes HTC wont repair your device if it's rooted, even if it's a hardware problem.
After a week any problems that it might have should have showed up
Thanks guys! Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. I suppose I can live with Stock for a week while I test everything out. I would definitely be pissed at myself if they wouldn't service it simply because I wanted Adblock over the next week. haha.
I usually give it a month or so before I do anything to void my warranty. I've had phones before that had something wrong with them that I didn't notice until they were no longer under warranty, so I give it a while before I bother. Plus, this phone is undoubtedly much faster than your previous, so even stock it should be a sizable boost. Enjoy it as it is for a little while, then when you put custom software, you'll get that boost again!

Give it a week or two. Longer the safer.
Thanks guys! You rock. I'm definitely gonna wait. I'm thinking a week or two so I can test every feature which I haven't been able to test (blue tooth, tethering, and more) or even discover for that matter.
And yes, I came from the Moto Milestone 2 to the Moto Backflip... To the One X. The experience isn't even comparable. I am so happy with the improvement I am just giddy over the fact that I have this super phone. No rush to throw custom on it when it's already this good. Only SERIOUS reason I would unlock for at the moment would be battery and AdFree purposes but for real, the battery isn't that bad.. Idk why people keep hating on it. I am a pretty heavy user too. I mean, it's got some serious hardware to run!
