Hi.
I've been a long time lurker on here but never registered as I've always found answers to my questions.... until now! lol
I've always seemed to have the problem of the stock HTC browser getting it's self into a reload/refresh loop until the point at which the web site you were browsing becomes completely unusable.
I've had this problem since over had the phone regardless of the ROM I've been running. The only thing I've noticed it always seems to be in websites with a lot of advertisements.
Anyone else had this problem? I could use another browser but I do like the HTC one.

If you think its advert related, try installing adfree to block them.
Hi
Thanks for the advice, I've installed and run addfree and it doesn't seem to have worked.
Another thing I forgot to mention earlier was when the page reloads it seems to move it's self to the right little by little until it disappears and you are left with a completely white page.

FYI, With Adfree, if you are s-on still - you have to use the symlink to /data/data option
yeah I'm s-off.
One bad site for reloading is the tech radar site it continually reloads as soon as i get on there. Wish I could sort it it's really doing my head in

Hi Guys,
I may not be the only one in this situation so maybe someone found an answer to this.
I've recently upgraded to an HTC One X (Super amazing phone) from an Android converted HD2(brilliant phone).
The only problem I've noticed is that the Facebook widget does not update on my new One X as when i turn on my HD2 works perfectly and updates as it should. I can still see updates from days ago but when i go into the actual app i can clearly see status updates etc.
Anyone having the same problem? Is there any way to resolve it?
I apologize if this issue has been raised somewhere else on the forum.
Thanks
Am I the only one with this problem???

apparently so..is facebook the only widget that does not updates itself?
Looks that way...

Mine's not working either on my Sensation - worked for a day or so and now just shows the same update - app itself works fine
Dunno about Facebook, but the Twitter widget only updates when told to. Also, I'm trying to find out why Facebook and FB Messenger don't send me notifications.
I have the same problem with mine, but when using any non-HTC widget. For example, I use a couple Beautiful Widgets (the clock and the battery status) and both of them just get stuck after a while. A reset resolves it for a while, sometimes a day or more and sometimes only for a few hours but eventually the clock and the battery indicator just get stuck. I have tried other clocks and battery indicator widgets and they too get stuck, so does the stock google calendar widget. It seems like it might be a problem with sense.
I tried to use my friendstream widget to update my FB and Twitter profiles twice yesterday, it just didn't do anything at all... I had to go into each App and update from there, then later in the afternoon it worked fine...
Buggy I guess?
I'm not sure if this helps the facebook widget, but I have tried clearing the data and re-setting the widget up. Seems to keep things going for a good while.
Same problem. No issues on Nexus and had similar problem on Sensation so pretty sure it has something to do with Sense
mine is not working either. facebook, friends widget, etc. slow and must be done manually
I think it's something to do with processes in the background, whilst Twitter seems to actively update for me, Facebook doesn't. I always close Facebook because it eats battery like a fat kid in a donut shop. Facebook for HTC Sense doesn't exist anymore, what updates in the Facebook app's news feed is what you see in Friend Stream and they update at the same frequency.

I'm the same on my HOX . My Fb widget hasn't updated for a week. The app itself is fine. This behaviour is no different from when i had my Desire! I've tried many widgets but it's the functionality of the official widget I want.
Solved for me
Was having this problem with any non-HTC widget, including a battery widget, the google calendar widget, the beautiful clock/weather widget among them. What seems to work is unchcking the "Fast boot" option in the power settings. I did this yesterday and my widgets haven't stopped now for almost 24 hours.
That's the first thing I turn off and yet the Facebook widget will not update unless I reboot the phone
Has anyone found a solution to this? Can it be that Sense is acting up as usual and because of sense our widgets are not updating as they should?

Hi All,
Loving my One X and finally understanding why Android works! After having applied various tweaks that I read about on the forums herr, there is just one thing that is now giving me problems...
When I'm taking a photo, as soon it snaps, the phone shuts down and I have to restart. Some facts below:
1. This does not happen always, actually I believe this usually happens when the battery is below 30-35% but works without issues after having restarted the phone.
2. No, I didn't root my phone and am using the stock Rom and yes, I already did a wipe...
3. This is not restricted to the default camera app, happened while using paper camera as well as camera zoom fx...
4. Whenever this happens, after I've restarted the phone, the snap that I took ends up creating a corrupted image file (warning icon) in the gallery. Could be an.I/o issue?
5. I don't have too many apps installed and when I do use an app/game I make sure to close it completely...
Anyone else facing this issue? Thoughts?
I love the One X so far but if app crashes means complete shut down of the entire phone most of the time, I may have to reconsider my purchase as I can't risk that happening when I'm working or such...
I have to admit that I have never been an android fan... My 2 year old Mozart started having issues after I dropped it for the zillionth time (man that device can survive some harsh usage) and though I will move back to windows phone again, getting one now didn't make sense as wp8 won't be supported by it. But the more I use the One X, I love it... I'll be going for windows phone no matter what, but am seriously considering keeping this with me if it holds true to its potential the next few weeks....
So help!!!!!!!!!
Best regards.

I'm already on the latest, I believe, firmware (v1.29.707.11) and thus that wouldn't be it...
Have you tried using a different launcher? Just get the free apex launcher, set it as default, then see if you have the same problem. If it fixes the issue then I'm afraid a factory reset is the order of the day, this will reset sense 4 back to original, then reinstall each app one at a time (games can all go on at once, because it won't be any game causing the issue).
You could use backup pro to backup all your contents etc first.

Haven't tried a different launcher yet... I kinda like Sense. But will see how it goes.
Already did a hard reset to see if that would help and it didn't (got everything syncing with exchange so don't really have to worry about creating backups of contacts, etc.) but will try again if using Apex launcher makes it go away.
One thing that I just remembered... when I did the last hard reset, after i got all my accounts, etc. configured, the phone restarted and continued to restart after startup when i unlocked and got to Sense. After the fourth restart, it stopped... So maybe it is something to do with Sense!?
Thanks!
Try to install the RUU

I Have been having the same problem. Exactly the same condition as yours. Did you find a solution ?

did you find a solution to your problem?
was it the battery or mainboad?
This is a strange one !! Welcome to Android
Using Apex etc won't make ANY difference for various reasons. 1 - It will still be using the Sense framework, so if it is Sense you'll get the same issue. 2 - The different launcher runs ontop of Sense, so its basically ANOTHER VM within Android.
I agree with someones statement above, if you've already factory reset, try and use the RUU.
If that doesn't work, I'm inclined to say its a hardware issue.
you say it's not the stock camera app but other apps like paper camera? then if stock camera app is working fine just use it, if other apps restarting the phone...because it could be that the apps will do that....or just update your whole phone to really latest base ...it's 3.14....just go in settings- about- then update or so ...if it wont work try to search a ruu for your cid/ or for the base you have like 1.29.707.11 ....therefore you need a RUU which is for x.xx.707.xx base...
Old thread ^^
Anyways... the problem is probably hardware, sounds like the battery doesnt have enough juice to keep the phone working even tho it says it has. Im afraid you will have to use your warranty
i have a One X on O2 in the uk. not unlocked or anything, its running OTA jellybean
have had the phone since 02 first had it available
my phone is also crashing with the camera function. very annoying.
(stock camera app)
i also get corrupted images
it happens randomly
Anyone noticed with chrome that occasionally the tab becomes 'stuck' and stays blank regardless of what site (or even bookmarks) you bring up.
Workaround is easy, open a new tab, presto.
But annoying, wondering if anyone seen this and/or come up with a fix.
This happened on stock 1.28, 1.29, now ARHD 7.1 (2.05 base) so I'm pretty sure its not caused by custom ROM.
i have it too

yeah thinking of going back to stock browser until this is fixed!
Same happened to me on my one x as well. Just random blank pages... super annoying but just need to reload a new tab...
Doesn't happen on stock.

Im on the stock browser. This used to happen to me but since the chrome update, its gotten better.
It's got better since the update but this never use to happen when I was using my galaxy s 1.
On stock rom

Yes! Had enough and just reported bug today then coincidentally I see this.
One X to rule them all
Noticed it first time 2 updates ago, getting stuck at blank screen, especially on heavy pages with lot of pictures. Firefox better?
I get this with chrome on my galaxy tab too... Not sure it's anything to do with the One X. Don't think it used to happen with chrome beta so think it's due to some dodgy update.

I get this problem on my one x. It doesn't seem to do it with web pages but occasionally it'll stay blank when I try and open my bookmarks. The only way round it is to close that tab and open a new one. Hope they fix this soon

I'm getting this issue also. Using ICS Browser+ until it's fixed!
It's an issue which is addressed in the Known Issues list of Chrome for Android:
Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.
This is a known issue with the graphics driver on specific devices. We have reported this issue to hardware manufacturers and software vendors and are working to fix it. As a workaround, try rotating your device or refreshing the page to resolve temporary rendering issues.

So... I guess it's up to HTC to resolve this, hopefully in their next update.

(Select "Site Display Issues" and then "Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.")
Yet another reason my next phone will be a Nexus
Same here. They have implemented many good features and I love Crome user experience, but the blank pages are so anoying.
I have had it so bad that even a new tab does not resovle the issue and I am forced to use stock browse. I got all stock.
happens on my nexus 7 as well it's not just confined to the one X.
Chrome-dome
Yeah I get this issue too... It's a bugger!
Hopefully it'll get resolved one day as I use Chrome as my main browser, I like the stock browser as it's pretty nippy but can't seem to swing moving over to FF.
To fix this, you can also: Press home button, press (or hold recent apps button, bring up the recent apps screen, swipe away chrome to close it, reopen Chrome and all your pages will reload and work again.
Happens on the TF101 Asus Transformer too. Used to be all the time 1 month ago, now its only occasionally on both devices.
I can just open up a 2nd tab and move along. I don't have the issue every time but when I do get the blank tab I just open up another tab and then I can go.
Hi all,
I was wondering whether there is a setting on the HOX that allows you to stamp your photos with the date and time. I used to have this setting on my htc desire but can't seem to find out on my HOX.
Thanks.

Hi, did you know that it stamps a ton of "Exif" information onto the file. It allows you to see some of this information in the gallery, or in file properties in Windows. Also, if you use the import photos option in Windows (if connected via USB) you can even automatically rename the files by taken date. I know that's not what you were asking for but perhaps a substitute?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Thanks, yes I knew that.
The reason for asking about the time stamps is that I was browsing through some of my old pictures taken with my htc desire and they all had time stamps on them - you see the picture and then look at the time stamp, sometimes you don't even realize how long ago the picture was taken until you see the time stamp.

is there an app with which I can add date/time stamps on videos?
You can use Auto Stamper app for adding date and time on the photo. This app allows you to add text to photo while capturing it from smartphone default camera.
Additionally, there is also feature to make stamp more attractive and amazing with various style, size, color, and positions.
