Hello all,
I bought HTC One V from Taiwan and using it here in India. Today I got a message that an update is available for the system.
As soon as the update download finished, and when I clicked install it showed that the device software have been modified and that it can't update.
It's strange as I never rooted it.
Also my mobile is having a lot of problems with network connectivity. I live in the middle of city but still I guess a cross over the network bars. And if sometimes I do get then only 2 bars out of 5.
Could anyone tell me what is the problem? I am having a feeling that my handset us defective. Maybe I am wrong.
Thank you for reading

Well I don't want to root it.
Thanks
Well you are going to have to stick to stock with no updates then. I suggest you open up to rooting, stock roms are junk.

So is the problem normal or not. I mean is it common to get that message or no ? Or I have been cheated.
Thanks
I assume its normal but only say that because of all the other phones that do the same thing yours did. Don't feel cheated, while HTC isnt supporting our devices anymore, the fine devs here are.

Well let's see what happens. Given the mobile for replacement.
Thanks

Hmm seems strange. Have you contacted HTC (not that they will be able to really help!) It might seem like a hassle but maybe try rooting so you can update the radio version?
yeah I will try to root my device tonight and see if that helps
will report back!

if you are going to use the latest way of doing it (via a linux live cd) you might want to start downloading it now as the servers are very slow!
too bad I am not home yet..... might aswell do it the old way then as I got all the files and so on...

Just a quick FYI guys. If you own an Optus branded HOX you can download 1.29.980.11 ota.
I can't really comment on any fixes yet as my only problem has been WiFi honestly. Will report back once I've used WiFi a little.

Anyone received 4.0.4 update for Optus HOX?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm with Virgin here in Australia and recently, i mailed them and asked about their plans to update our phones to Android 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1. Their reply strongly gave me the impression that they didn't even know of an existing update or even what the term "base" means. It makes me glad that i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone so that i wouldn't have to wait for their slow service to catch up.
I'm with virgin but my cid is Optus.
You might have the same meaning Optus will be pushing it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
So have you heard when they are pushing the update?
No mate. Early September on their site but who knows? I don't even care as 1.29 is running well for me.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Status.. Optus approved 4.0.4.
Awaiting manufacturer deployment.

And I got it back.. had sent it on due to WiFi issue. I honestly can't tell much since I have moved to a new apartment. The WiFi issue (I think) is gone. I checked this by going to a room where the signal is bad and then pushing my fingers at the WiFi spot. Nothing changed, no connection improvement what so ever. If anything after pushing the area my connection has gotten slightly worse if that certain spot is pushed..opinion on this is welcome.
Just thought is mention that I had sent my phone in for repair with an unlocked bootloader and on arhd 9.2.0 and got it back without having to pay.
That's my story..

I have just arranged a repair of my handset due to WiFi hardware fault. Will be collected by UPS tomorrow. Stock ROM and Re Lock bootloader time!!
That was quite lucky shame some have completely got it back to stock and have had to pay. Its a shame its not very consistent.

Where you sent it? Directly at HTC service, or to your carrier?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I sent it at my carrier which is a a1 Austrian contract. As far as I have been informed it was sent to htc in Czech. @above, it took a bit less than two weeks in my case. Round 12 days. So two weeks
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
This is an information, all that we need. Because in that case you're right. Wi-Fi is a hardware problem and they should recognize the warranty. But unfortunately, not always and not everywhere be received correctly.
Exactly my point. I have a friend who threatened and actually wasn't lightly meaning that he would go as far as to suing them if they do not comply. They ended up replacing his nearly one year old phone with a New one. I think in this case it depends more on in which country you are in than anything else.
A.k.a the country is a major influence

hi
hi
actually feel the guys in my country India Bangalore not all that technically qualified they try the usual procedure just reflash the ROM and if we have not relocked,added the right boot.img and stock recovery they end up bricking it and then they just send it to HTC ho at India and get it replaced :good::laugh:
im 100% sure that the first thing they do here is just re flasher the original ROM
and i really dont think these ASPs in my county dont(at least the ones at bangalore ) know about locking the boot loader :laugh:

Haha true! Im from Bangalore as well and experienced a similar thing with my friend's HOX!
He sent it back in for the slightly yellowish spot on the display after rooting and unlocking the bootloader. They called him back and said they will give him a new piece He received a brand new one.
Thanks to to their stupidity, I think we Indians can still claim warranty
Hi guys, I'm not asking this for myself as I have the rogers version and I'm quite experienced with flashing properly.
My friend has a wind (t999v) version of the s3,he does not know how to root or flash and he never did either. What he did was update his phone to the new jellybean firmware, the proper way. After the update his touchscreen stopped working. The menu button, back button, and settings buttons still work but everything else on the screen is non responsive. He brought it to the wind store and told them. They returned the phone and told him that it's his own fault for upgrading and wants 600 dollars to repair it.
I'm wondering if there is another solution for him before I try flashing some custom roms for him. Or whether flashing anything else will fix the issue because it doesn't seem like a software issue to me.
Sorry for such a long post and thanks in advance.
( samsung sends their phone to a third part to fix, and they were the ones that said there's nothing that they would do without 600)

So its his fault for using an OTA update? Sounds to me like he needs to talk to a supervisor...

He's phone is two months old too. I know when I was with rogers, and my xplay keypad stopped working , they sent me a replacement instantly.
He's with wind and they said that there is nothing they can do for him.

That's a bunch of BS. It's an OTA for goodness sakes. OTAs go through Samsung and then the telecom. So, if the OTA was available, it had to go through his telecom. If the OTA is the cause, for whatever reason, then they should honor that.
Seriously, that's BS.

Tell him to go to another wind store and tell him to mention nothing about the OTA he just have to play dumb hopefully they will give him a replacement..

Same issue, tried 4 different SIM cards...only one M8 has this issue, other one works fine!!!
Same issue with mine. Rep in the store said it is a known problem but doesn't affect anything. He said pretty much all the ones they had sold did this. Tried replacing some of the phones, swapped SIM cards, etc. Some they swapped out would be OK. But he had done like a dozen and they all did this. This will be an interesting issue to see how VZW / HTC fixes it.
Talked to jetleigh from HTC today, she said there's a fix & she will personally post it here "soon". They're also communicating the fix with Verizon to tell others about it.
Hi from HTC
Hi everyone – HTC is aware of the issue. HTC will be providing a software update to Verizon HTC One m8 users that will be pushed to you shortly. In the mean time, please be assured you will not be charged for roaming by having the triangle icon appear. Appreciate your patience in the matter!”hh
