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!
EDIT:
While typing this message. I just got:
"com.android.settings" is not responding.
Help!

WHAT!>?
Where is it.
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.

Take it back man. Stop wasting time and get a refund before they tell you that it's too late. My One X updated fine but is the loading time while on WiFi that's honestly eating at me severely. Don't know what else to do at the moment.

I am going to buy this phone. But is this a good phone ? How is the battery ? And i read on the net that the bootloader is locked so can we install custom roms root it ? how ? and the battery is not removable so if i hang the phone sometimes so how reboot if the keys doesnt work because battery is unremovable ?
Thanks (i am a noob )
Good phone, battery life is not bad, bootloader is locked but you can unlock it from HTCdev site but it may void your warranty and no S-OFF for now, how to root it, search and read and find out and on how to reboot just use the powerbutton at the top to reboot by long pressing it.
If you are going to buy this phone make your research. Do not wait for other people to do the work for you. There is a review thread exactly in the same place were you posted this thread, there is a battery stats thread were people post the battery life and talk about it so you could of jumped in there to find out more about battery. There is a thread by Hamdir regarding what to look out when going and buying your phone and checking what issues to have a look at when inspecting the phone before you buy it...Plus so many reviews over youtube you could look for. I might sound harsh but everyday it is the same freaking question with someone opening a thread and it ends up getting closed anyway. So do your research before buying something. Simple as that.

Don't buy it. I regret doing this mistake. I will NEVER buy any HTC phone again. I had Desire, Desire Z and now One X. They all were plagued by problems. One X has so many problems with the software and with hardware, it's not worth to buy it. I will try to bring it back and buy Galaxy S3. Samsung never failed me
Buy it. It's a fantastic phone.

Don't agree with this at all, the phone had some minor bugs when it was first released but they all seem to be fixed now....at least they are for me anyway!
The only thing I don't like is the way it handles multi tasking, not the GUI implemention which is cool and works better than most reviews make out, but the way it kills apps to quickly. I'm sure we'll be able to sort this out with a custom rom later on.
All in all its a great phone with excellent battery life, so long as you dont play too many games

I'm just wondering how come I didn't have all these thoughts? goodphone, battery, bootloader, screen, etc etc. I just loved the phone the moment I saw it.. it's like love at first sight.. probably u'l know if that's this is the one when you actually hold it.. more like a girl, you know if she's the one for u or not
just my 2 cents bro.. honest opinion.. u won't regret it. yes, sometimes it does make u think wuts wrong, but never it will let u down thinkin it's a bad investment.
hope it helps
Go for it. It's working perfect for one month and I didn't even apply any of three released software updates for not to miss possible s-off exploits.

Didn't happen to me. Great device for me. Got one and didn't need to do swaps or replacements.
My HTC One X JUST came into the mail today and I want to get started and get my favorite custom software already. 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? I feel like I would notice if anything was wrong already.

Personally I would hold off at least a week just to make sure. Cause you would be kicking yourself if you do have a problem and HTC decide to try and charge you for it cause your unlocked.

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!
I had mine rooted and flashed straight out the box.

Check out the defects thread and check your phone thoroughly before unlocking, I'd give it at least a month as some issues don't manifest straightaway

DONT DO IT YET. i had mine for 2 days, after 2 days yellow tinting appeared on it, i am definitely going to wait a few weeks when HTC send it back, hopefully we will have S off then
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!

Hi all,
I currently have a Samsung GS3, but I've been thinking about moving over to the one x. I much prefer the design and general feel of the handset. The main thing that's bugging me is the battery, I understand it'll be a down step from the GS3, I'm willing to sacrifice that, I'm just wondering how people deal with it... Custom kernels helping with battery etc.
I usually charge my phone every night, so will that be ok to live with the one x?

Battery life is really good with the custom kernels and roms
Standby time is amazing. I left my phone overnight, started at 60% battery, about 6 or so hours later, guess how much I had left? 59%.
Screen on time isn't brilliant, but the average is 3-4 hours screen on time for most people.
The battery life is a massive step up from my dhd, certainly the gs2, and this is mainly down to the companion core in the tegra 3.
Don't fret about the battery life. I can't say for definite, but it's probably better than GS3 imo. This companion core really does do wonders
Edit: you mention you normally charge overnight, I do if I want to have a full charge for the next day, but with this phone its not actually necessary to charge overnight. Assuming you have at least some battery left lol

Brilliant cheers for the reply. I'll give it ago I think and see what happens.
Seems to me that the rooting and installing custom ROM method is a lot more complicated on the HOX... Is that the case or am I just thinking its a lot more difficult?
It's not too complicated, just make sure you read instructions carefully. The only problem is no s-off yet, so you have to flash boot.img in fastboot mode using computer and unlock via HTC.dev
About battery. It's a biggest problem for me, but I'm a heavy user and sometimes charge during the day. But using it for music, sometimes browser, mail it should last during the day. Just make sure in the evening you have charger I mean, using auto brightness and switching off connections when not needed. despite of this, I really love this phone.
You'll fall in love too
I'm having great battery life with the OrDroid ROM. Averaging almost 4.5 hours of on screen time. Not anywhere near my 6.5 hours with the GS3, but I prefer the One X in most situations.

To be honest, rooting the Samsung phones looks complicated (I've never done it) however I'm sure it's fairly straightforward to do, once you know how Likewise with the hox, pretty easy once you know how.
Don't be put off by that, the rooting of hox is pretty easy, there's a good guide here that says literally everything you need to do it. Just read it a few times before attempting anything (do this with any of these sorta things imo) I think it's in general section you should be able to find it easily enough

I have them both. The Samsung can be rooted right out of the box in one step. A whole lot easier.
But, once you get the hang of both of them, it's not that difficult to work with either.

Gotta say, this whole thing with HTC unnecessarily locking them down is gonna make me think hard when it comes to next phone
If it's the same as now, won't be that bad, it's just what else are htc going to do in future to restrict this development?
From their point of view I guess they have unlocked them, previous phones were just locked down but not very well.. They've just done the job properly on locking it down this time (pity not on qc lol)
Gah damn these stupid policies

Hi guys
I have HTC One M8. Android System drains my battery in an unbelievable way. I decide to know the reason. So, I did a reset factory and charged it 100% and then I powered it on and only after 6 min while the screen all of the time was off, the battery got 98%. In the following, I turned off the screen again and incredibly after 21 min without any usage the battery got 94%.
I really don't use the phone and the battery drains such this. Just guess what happen if I turn on screen and use it?!!! I really confused. I took 2 shot. Pls check them out. Android System Singly uses up to 90% of the whole usage.
(When I charge my father's G3 the battery is 100% after 5 min using wifi! Still no 99%!)

No. I'm on stock clean ROM
All begins to happen from last week.
I felt the battery drains faster than ever.
It was being more and more.
Yesterday, I do a reset factory to get rid of the problem.
But as I explained already I have it yet.
It seems I face with a faulty battery, doesn't it?
Is there any other related reason?
I forgot to add that the phone become very hot. Even in a very essential/primitive/normal usage. In an unprecedentedly way ...

Currently, I'm on a custom ROM; I'm just trying another.
I can return to stock and take some shot, if you think it helps.
Next plan is installing a CyanogenMod ROM.
If It occurred again I buy a new battery instantly.

first you post screenshots from a custom rom then when i ask about the cache cycle you said you were completely stock then you said you are on custom rom and tried to recalibrate the battery with an app (witch i believe it do nothing ) and probably you didn't read the threads i linked and didn't gave us any useful info to understand the situation so we can help
the last thing before buying a new battery run the appropriate RUU for your device and see how it's going

I have some good reasons why I said you I'm on stock when you ask me for the first time. Yeah! I remember!
I tested both before posting on XDA and the result was same. Mr.Ismael I certainly sure if I said I'm on CUSTOM you picked on CUSTOM ROMs and blamed it.
For this reason, I said I'm on stock in order to skip that MISTAKE IDEA that the custom ROM causes the problem
Just because getting rid of this mistake. No other reason.
