that sounds weird, with the 3 dots. i've read it on some pages for the AT&T version of the new firmware there is a setting for it, to switch it off. find it under gestures and buttons according to androidpolice. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ers-remapping-options-and-maybe-closing-root/

Thanks Eddy just noticed,seems theres a flurry of activity this morning,someone recieved update in hong kong,not 4.0.4 or 2.15 still on 4.0.1

2.15 is unlikely to be the final build version, I'm expecting it to be 2.2x like the One XL and One S

Got the update in hong kong today. Not really noticing any differences.

Yes, the so called 4.0.4 update should include this switch.
Not sure why HTC withhold this, maybe they want to directly jump to JB.

Yes, I'm in Hong Kong.
I can't find any changes yet except the machine is smoother than before.

I have a HK phone, I'm in the UK right now, just got the update.
This is the second 1.29 for HK, it is probably equivalent to 1.29.401.11, so should solve missing storage space and flickering, if you had those problems.
It could be equivalent to .12, we need to compare radio versions, I guess.

Speed improved when loading very large web page.
Bettery improved during 3G call.
Power consumption became normal in some mini games.
Faster charging time.
Less heat generated.
Seems more lag in facebook app. But seems battery improved.
The screen seems consume less power just got less then 40% after the update. It used to be 58%. However, it looks less contrast. (Nvidia PRISM??)

1.29.708.15 update
Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum but have been reading your phone reviews for a while and really pleased with the help and advice you have given in the past. I have the new HTC one X and never had any issue that other people have complained about etc etc, not one problem at all. its never overheated, never crashed, or had screen issues - BUT as soon I installed the new update my phone has been crashing all day. When my phone rings it turns off, when I leave it alone it reboots, half way through a conversation it reboots. I have not installed any additional apps after the update and as far as I know its only started after the update?? Also my battery is getting milked to death.
Also I am not that computer savvy so please keep the English in layman's terms!!!
Please help shed some light on this as I have been loving this phone, but its completely killing me at the moment.
Thanks again guys

Good plan. I guess if all else fails then I will have no choice. Is there a way I can save all my downloaded apps before I do full reset? Picture and videos not an issue, but some of the apps are huge files and don't really want to spend all day downloading them again.
Again, thanks for all your help.

well it's still 4.0.3....
what i concern about about is what enhancements have the update brought to our phones...

Hi,
I did not have to reset my phone in the end, very strange, I just let my battery die and gave it a full charge with the phone switched off. The next morning switched it on and perfect again. Very happy
Thanks

Anyone with T-mobile Desire with Soft.Version 1.15.110.11- whats the battery like?

As per subject...
There are users who have flashed to a 'Generic ROM' saying that they have seen an improvement in the battery life. So I was wondering if anyone who has received a Desire from T-mobile (with software above) can comment on battery life.
Since the change logs seem either to be non-existent or vague, I just wanted to know if the latest T-mobile ROM has the same 'fixes' as the generic ROM (with the latest FOTA).
mine came with the latest software on saturday

That's the thing, I dont think they are. People with the new version are those who received the devices more recently and already have the latest one installed.

t mobile
has anyone actually called T - mobile?
I Have latest version, received last Thursday. After a few days the battery life has improved immensely. I had a htc magic before and the battery outlasts that. Probably lasts 25% longer.
I only have one issue and that is that streamed video cuts out after a period - 5 minutes or so. Oh and the weather widget is still a pain in the ar*e
But all in all very impressed. The web browsing is a dream. fast and excellent with pinch and zoom. screen is gorgeous and not a pink tint in sight on mine!
Oh and the fact that there are loads of apps missing on market that I could get with HTC Magic but it seems to be the general consensus on forums that these will become available over next couple of weeks, I do hope so.
well that sucks a tiny bit do they include change logs with these updates or is it all secretive

I have the T-mobile ROM, and my battery life is pretty rubbish. To top it off I find that once it fills up, it doesn't trickle charge, so it looses power even though it's plugged in.
I called up T-mobile about this to see if it was an issue with the software (hoping that they would send me another phone with updated software). The first lady told me there was a software update, sent me a link to the T-mobile website, but the link didn't work. I think she may have been refering to the HTC update, which we can't get.
The second lady I talked to sent me to delivery department, but instead of a new phone, they're sending me another battery. Which is welcome, but if the software update doesn't come soon (and the update actually does improve battery life), then the battery they're sending won't really be good enough for me.
Will give them another ring tomorrow, to either get a date of the update, or a new phone.

Australian OTA Update for OPTUS 128.980.10

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.
It says "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly".
What can I do to stop this. sort of annoying cause my phone was actually pretty smooth and had great battery life before hand anyway!

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.

So my HBOOT whatever that is, is 0.94.0000
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.

Update 1.29.401.11 UK/Ireland OTA Out Now!!!

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.

There is a pretty good chance that it is permanent hardware damage caused by the software setting display voltage too high.
I would probably get warranty repair done, but only if I knew that the repair work would be done right.
I returned mine (backlight flickering) and they updated it... To the latest version i allredy had on tomorrow i will demand a new phone and aks if the sum of the iq of the people that worked on my phone can be compared to my spare tyre

It was supposed to fix the issue, but I suspect that those who were on updates that had the original flickering issue for too long may have actually had their phones damaged by the overvoltage.

I'm on the latest (stock) update and mine still flickers - although only slightly. (Still enough to notice on light backgrounds, though - and not all the time.)
I used to have the flicker with the stock firmware (it was 1.29 I think), after I updated to test 2.05 and now to 2.15 the flicker issue is gone.
It's a shame that HTC didn't fixed the issue faster, but in the end it's OK.
There was a massive thread on this that kinda fizzled out not too long ago, I think the general consensus was that after the 1.29 update it took about two weeks for the software to settle in and the flickering will disappear.
You mean flickering like a strobe light effect as there were two known kinds.

I don't want to hijack someone else's thread, but mine is not the strobe - it is the slight (but noticeable) flicker on light backgrounds, as you might find in a fluorescent bulb which is struggling to stay alight. I am on Voda UK, 1.29.161.13 which is the latest OTA and I have been using it for more than two weeks, so the flicker should have gone. In all other respects, my phone is rock-solid; I don't want to swap it and take the chance I'll get a worse model back and I can't be without it whilst it is in for repair. I guess I'm hoping that a later OTA will fix the problem. Is that a reasonable expectation?

Ok so here is the backlight flickering verdict. Its still the same nothing changed. The people who reported that it was fixed probably installed the update sooner then me and did not experienced hardware damage. Its safe to say i have to return mine

I'm a bit late, but heyho. I also experienced the flicker when I was on 1.28. Especially on the recent apps grey screem. But I flashed a newer base and its disappeared in 3 days (ish). I flashed the 2.17 base by the way. But, like others have said 1.29 was apparently the update which fixed the flicker, just took a few days to settle. So glad its gone. Hope you have the same outcome.

i heard that some HOX have this problem and its software-related in most cases. but there's a thread for this topic! just search!

Best rom yet, smooth, fluid and fast! Sense feels like a new experience that now I use it and not replaced it with a third party launcher.
It's a big improvement from the previous bases, it can only get better with future updates. I don't use stock but use custom roms so should be very similar performance wise.
Screen flicker was solved on the 1.2.9 release however saying that I did experience slight flicker on the 2.1.7 base but I think that was related to auto brightness as it seems to have disappeared now as well after a few days of settling down.

GPS failure - hardware or software?

hiho!
I own the one x for a few day now, but the phone has some errors i didn't know from htc till now. The GPS ist unaccurate. Navigon says i'm driving with 50 km/h while i'm standing at a red trafficlight, or it turns 180° or 360°, jumps more than 300 meters into other streets...
is this a softwareproblem?
greets,

No this is a hardware issue. I had the same problem with my first Onex bought on launch day. I was sat on sofa in the front room and was doing 72mph and bouncing from street to street. Thankfully I had only had the phone 2 days so I exchanged it at store and 2nd one has been fine since.

I don't personally think this is a hardware issue.
It seems to me that it is a software/radio issue. My GPS was jumping about until i updated my radio and now it's more accurate and doesn't fly around the place.

It's a known issue with many HTC One X handsets. You should get it replaced. One of my friends had the same issue, he tried updating the software etc. as suggested by HTC's support. But it didn't fix the issue, finally after much cribbing they replaced his phone.
Let me know if I helped by clicking thanks

indeed, i can tell you 100% its hardware i took a video when it was doing it which you can find here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVsL6flRNtk
is this the same
whilst taking the video it wasnt as bad as it had been, this was only jumping in a 50m radius
when i asked a dev of ARHD he suggested it was probably a bad Logic Gate in the GPS chip
find it hard to believe its software/radio as the replacement i got (2days after launch) on the same software/radio did not have this problem

I fail to believe this.
If indeed it's a hardware problem how would i experience this before the update and not experience it after the update? It wouldn't make sense?
Can we ask what software version you're currently on? If you're on what i think you're on then it explains EVERYTHING

No worries
A radio is basically the hardware which is used to utilize/use anything connectivity-like. Such as, wifi, phone signal, mobile internet and... GPS.
HTC along with their OTA updates, send updated radio firmware updates which improve signal issues, gps, wifi dropping, call dropping all signal and gps related issues really.
It's how my GPS jumpy issue was fixed, your problem sounds a lot like mine.
I could be wrong, but i wouldn't cry that it's a severe hardware fault yet :fingers-crossed:
If it is a soft issue. Why would it only effect a handful of users.
Also my 2nd 1X currently has been on all Software versions from launch and never had this GPS bug.
You are dilluding yourself if you think its software.
Maybe they have bodged it in the software updates like they did with the flickering screens.
I'm not going to argue this point anymore but if I was you. I would be looking for a replacement from supplier.

That's a great point, the answer is exactly the same as the screen flickering issue & missing storage space. Some people got affected, others didn't, it's as simple as that. All i know is that MY problem was software. How? Because i no longer have the issue after updating, simple really. I don't claim to know everything nor do i know for a fact the OP's issue is software or hardware and neither do you.
There's nothing wrong with a debate? So why you're getting so angry and irate i'll never know
I also had problems with the GPS: could not save walking tracks, because all that jumping made each track at least double the length I walked in reality (well, it always sounds great to tell that I walk at an average speed of 20kph )
This was solved when not using AGPS (and, of cause clearing the cache)
But that made it difficult to get a location quick - most of the times it took longer than a minute, even when outside.
I changed to the Viper ROM and all problems have gone! So, in my case this definately is a software problem.

When I started my new phone for the first time it wants to perform a complete Systemupdate. I did it, and nothing went wrong. But there was no radio update. Where can I find it? Is it possible that this update is not a available in Germany, because i heard of a htc update for the one x that is rolled out in the us, but not in europe. Can anyone send me this updatefile?
thanks...

You have the correct radio. I'm not sure what else you want.
