Hey there, I brought my htc one x on contract with 3 at the start of august, the first one had a problem with the battery and had to wait to have a new one in white but eventually, I recieved one that worked. It had been great till a few weeks ago where my wi-fi has been poorer than before, everything else was fine though including my computer and few other things but my one x suddenly buffers every youtube video which take a while to load and keep pausing, the wifi disconnects every now and then but the internet along with twitter and facebook you can't always tell but it defiantly is poor at times. The Wi-fi icon at the top is full at times even when it isn't connecting well to the wifi and then always goes up and down. Always random. I tried the squeeze test which has once or twice improved it but nothing is effected by it usually, even when i downloaded the wifi analyser app, at first i squeezed it and it shot up but since then even if it says the signal is good, it still isn't. It's the youtube that is the worse, but I don't think it is just that as the wifi disconnects and goes up and down at times and just poor compared to before. Do i have this same problem though? The squeeze dosen't always work and what shall i do? Go back to the 3 store?
Really was a good phone till this problem popped up.
So I was a first day adopter, no biggie I thought. My attitude is changing on this every day now. It seems like my internet (stock browser) keeps kicking off with the "Unfortunately..." error. I'll be browsing and it pops up. Once it closes down I select the internet again and it seems to work and reloads the page but then it craps out and errors again and clears the cache. This is getting annoying.
Then there is the display. I have a few icons and the google now/search bar that keep going static looking (like bad reception on a tv). I have to flip the rotation of the screen to get them to display correctly again.
Anyone else having this problem?
I forgot to mention that I've done all the resets, including taking out the battery.
I am having this strange problem where every time I connect to a wireless network my device lags terribly for a minute or so. This happens both when turning wifi on and when it turns itself automatically on when the screen comes on. This lag only appears to happen when the wifi first goes on and doesn't happen at all when the wifi is off. I notice that the wifi icon in the quick settings menu flashes orange for a second and then shows the network up/down arrows. I downloaded an app called my data manager to try and see what apps were using data, but it doesn't seem to be showing anything weird: Os services and settings used small amounts of data.
Could this be a hardware issue? I did drop and almost break my n7 a few weeks ago, but it has seemed fine since then.
Anyone?
Back up device, factory default, re-test.
Restore when done.
Do above to confirm that it's a h/w issue.
I'm running CM10.2.1 and I use the phone, WiFi only. I've been using it fine for 4 months and haven't made any changes to my WiFi. Starting the day before yesterday my WiFi signal would go gray for a few minutes every hour or so, now it appears almost permanently gray. Everything works except I don't get notifications(I think play store might not either). I've searched the internet for two straight days and tried everything short of starting from scratch. The only thing that worked(for about 5 minutes) was changing the date/time to something random, so as of now, I have tasker doing that every 5 minutes. But even that doesn't work 100%. Please help. TIA

AFAIK the gray notification icons are the new flat color, to make it more cohesive across android systems. My icon is gray running CM 10.2.1 and my wifi works

But I only get notifications when my WiFi is blue. I'm assuming it's some sort of time mismatch issue with the Google servers, but I could be wrong. It's odd though, my date and time are not set to automatic, but when I change the date/time with tasker it jumps right back.
Anyone noticing the location GPS is funky? I typically turn my GPS off when not in use and I am finding that when using the PullDown toggle, the annoying Location Icon/Notification gets stuck on, and other times won't come on after its been off.
The only way to fix it is to turn it off and reboot, or turn it on and reboot. But after it gets toggles, it gets screwy again.
I haven't done much testing yet to see if it is just the icon or actually the GPS failing to toggle. Also I am wondering if going through settings to toggle is a work around.
I am out of town for work but wanted to quickly throw it out there to see if anyone others experience this weird behavior. I don't have time this week to really sit down and play with it, so a quick fix (if available) is known.
+1 on this. Just noticed the other day when I had to navigate to a party. I arrived and turned off location and it was still stuck in notification tray. Think it went away eventually, but I didn't have time to reboot so not sure what happened. Will keep an eye on it next time though.
Also, noticed the phone has trouble switching from 1x back to 4g. Has to use airplane mode to cycle the radio.
Yea I noticed that too. Again I am traveling and normally have GPS off and only turn it on when I actually launch Google Maps.
I was listening to Pandora mostly with no issues on my 8hr drive but twice, I think, I had to toggle airplane mode to get back data.
The Location notification is ridiculous. I mean its stupidly annoying already but now its getting stuck.

Just chiming in. I haven't noticed these problems. Then again I've only been on MM for 5 days now.
I get the location icon stuck in the tray as well. Reboot is the only cure.
New Wifi lag is the biggest problem for me on MM.

You really only notice it if you turn off Location, the little PIN notification gets stuck and doesn't go away on the status bar and notification that says Location on or something.
Pretty annoying.
Also my wifi just randomly stops working. I have to disconnect, reconnect and it starts again. Different topic though.

Ah ok, I hadn't had that problem. As of last night I downgraded and then rooted and removed bloatware. So doubt I'll see them problems. Though I am facing a few minor ones mainly with the all apps dual window mod. But like you said that's a different topic. Main reasons I downgraded was of course because I like full control over something I own. But wanted the 60fps video recording which I'm pretty sure we can all agree should have been included with the G4. I also finally found a nice work around for enabling silent mode with the actual volume button since the xposed module with true silent didn't work for the G4. Sorry I'm getting off topic here. But hope you find a fix.
Yea I was good with lollipop. Marshmallow hasn't included anything except bugs. I resisted the upgrade for a while but I was not rooted and the System Update popping up constantly was drivingme crazy.
A6 fixed a few annoying bugs for me but brought others.
The location notification getting stuck can happen even with location on, I never turn mine off.
Biggest problem for me WiFi disconnecting at 15%, and needing a reboot to reconnect.
Yea the location notification does get stuck regardless if turned off or not.
I ended up getting rid of the G4 because of the problems. (Qi Charging, wifi disconnects, etc).
