delivery
FOTO Robert SELZER GmbH in Austria confirmed to me in writing the delivery from beginning of May on (only stated beginning). However can we really count on this, i dont think so. At the end of the day its up to HTC....
However i keep you all posted from my side. I am looking to buy this device "yesterday" in any place in Europe.
Hi!
I talked to a representative in my local phone shop today regarding TP2, and he had a look into the Norwegian distributors database, and confirmed a delivery date to resellers at the 7th of May. I find it to good to be true, as the Diamond2 is due to be distributed at the 5th of May (2 weeks late of the original delivery date) here in Norway.
Regards,
PK
Thanks for the info. Could you give me her contact details please...

It wenth from The 14th of may, to the 16th, and now it's the 17th of may..
3 changes in 4 days.. So I don't trust this one anymore
Just hope it comes out before The 20th of may in the Benelux!
According to Sales People in HTC Egypt (Jovitronix), the device is expected to be delivered to Egypt by Mid-May.
Hopefully....
Verizon (US) in may??
A buddy of mine works for Verizon.. he says VZW will be coming out with a bunch of new phones in may. He seems to think this in one of them... I'm crossing my fingers. This is in the US (Northeast)
So all roads seem to lead to around mid May-ish.
Expansys are saying 5th June though.
Oh noes!

would be a good birthday present
Am I missing something? the HTC PR guy excerpt is from an older interview I read before. He said "before xmas" in the full interview. No mention of august, and again this unsubstantiated news clip gives no evidence of when HTC said "august". please reference HTC "august" comment if your going to post this stuff.
Taken from link.
According to the news the lucky ones would be the HTC Desire holders, as the Android 2.2 (Froyo) going to rool out for HTC Desire in August

thanks. I hope it comes true. I decided to wait for the official update instead of going with a ROM off here.
Same here. Haven't yet rooted as it looks like most of the stuff I'm after (and was on my old HD2 - wireless hotspot and app2sd) is coming with Froyo. I was a seasoned WM flasher (it can be so addictive!) but thought I would try and control myself this time around ;-) The sooner 2.2 arrives the better.

Haven't rooted yet too, no rush.
I really hope so, but seriously...October sounds more like it...HTC was never fast and known as a delay vendor. I would say late September, early October.

HTC has not annouced any official date yet and i dont know where these two web sites are getting it from. This read is so similar to the x amount of previous threads all saying its coming 'next' month etc.
The post date of the article is July 7th. We need less speculation and just wait patiently.
Q3 like has always been stated, that's July-September.... so my guess is some time between now and the end of September probably later rather than sooner.. (that has not stopped me from clicking on System software updates > CHECK NOW!' every day )

I'm guessing that they won't release anything over the long weekend, so if it doesn't drop today we're looking at the end of next week? (I'm on Voda and can live without it, but the flickering is driving me crazy...)
(I know the numbers in the title don't accord with Voda/3 - I'm should have just entitled it 1.29, but wanted to make it clear that I'm referring to .11 and not .07)
Im not expecting Voda to release it any time soon. Bloody Vodafone.

Yeah true, I just hate the fact that everyone has to wait on their respective network provider to test and release the updates on their own software before its released to the public.
I expect that the reports of people 'losing' storage post the update may be slowing down the certification.
I've no problem with them testing updates (it's them who'd have to deal with customers with broken phones) but the lack of information is nuts - they should learn from the Windows update saga that MS had to manage with the upgrade to Mango.
Childishly pressing check for updates around every 10 mins myself - don't know about you guys...
No update in Hong Kong for unbranded devices. We got 1.28 at exactly the same time as UK, 1.29 came very similar, but the second 1.29 hasn't arrived. So don't feel too bad.

I'm guessing you have an unbranded handset from Phones4U or someone, right?
Branded Vodafone Spain here, also waiting to 1.29 I don't mind waiting if they are testing it, but please give us some information!!
I don't have any screen flicker, but I've lost 10gb of space!, I know I can reformat my sd space but it seems pointless until I get the update.
On 3 UK The 1,29 is in testing and they haven't a clue when it's going to be released. Hopefully the end of the week. If not I'm ranting at Three support again.

Re: Just Vodafone UK and 3 left for 1.29.401.11
Vodafone UK and 3 won't get 1.29.401.11 if they are branded, will they? So I'm guessing the OP was talking about the equivalent update?
So was I. Oh sorry, HK versions don't affect you and you're so narrow minded that you can't even see that it's not relevent for an unbranded regional update to come after branded ones?

Looks like later next week now for us, which will mean we get it five weeks after non-branded phones and two weeks after 02 (at best.) Not great, is it Vodafone?
I think, Vodafone had been fast, with the 1.28.
But i still don't understand, why they didn't realese the 1.29 yet.

never call vodafone CS and ask when the latest firmware upgrade is due...I've spoken to 3 different "tech guys" and all of them have said the same infuriating thing. "The HTC One X is already on the latest version of Android". Thats not what i asked you moron.
Cant complain too much as i got a 50% discount on my upgrade, so i suppose im getting 50% of the level of customer service shouldve paid the extra money instead and gone to phones4u

I'm pretty happy with Voda and can live without .11 for a while, although it would be nice to get rid of the flickering. It isn't the end of the world, but it is surprising that they are taking such a long time to sort things and doesn't fill me with confidence.
My HTC is unbranded. Still on 1.28 so the title is a big fat lie.

What's your full version number? I thought all unbranded phones had at least the first 1.29 OTA sent out.
This is getting beyond a joke, now. Voda are generally pretty quick off the blocks, but we are now entering the sixth week since this update emerged and there is still nothing from them. Is this how it's going to be from now on?

You may are right a mf HTC rep told that one x 4.2.2 update might not even come to India , no update is showing that will it even get or not the update as it depends . I called again and another rep told it depends on higher authority people.. as many disputes happen and they need to be solved then an update is given in certain country/region and some more blsht . HTC already is poor in India I am so pissed feel like blowing HTC with a bazooka .
Man. You can't be serious. It's ridiculous if it's true. I wouldn't buy HTC phone again.

I am so pissed already on this, have even fought with htc and htc india on fb and they are just doing a "job" there nothing else with same automated messages, they will tell in the end they have escalated this ahead for u to relax, but u will keep hoping that something will happen now but never will . You can call toll free htc customer care number, they don't have any idea for it . There was a video posted of a foreign news channel that peter chou is to be blamed for htc soon going to be bankrupt . A message during interview : " When HTC posted its worst-ever earnings last quarter as profit plummeted a shocking 98%, all eyes turned to chief executive Peter Chou. “If HTC fails one more time, then they’ll be under pressure to replace the CEO,” one industry watcher said. As the company’s struggles continue, The Wall Street Journal spoke to CEO Peter Chou about his future with the company, and he insisted he is still the right man for the job. ”I know you guys want to ask, will I quit,” Chou said. “There are a lot of rumors that say I would quit, but I never said that. I’m not going to find another job.” Separately, the Journal did some digging through HTC’s newly filed annual report and found that pay for the company’s top executives has been slashed in half. "
Damn htc trend is total wrong!
Making cheap faulty phones and making huge hype on ads, specs, etc before release so people just buy impatiently like its a lot worth it but they are not, and selling expensively > customers facing lot of issues > some people will still keep and give profit to htc, some people will want replacement > then htc may solve issues in later manufactured pieces or not their wish > dead slow in updates specially in 2nd largest populated country india lol ? why htc then? i say never! > The world's worst service centres as htc india people themselves tell and give service centre people full support to treat customers badly only to make money . And in end they still face loss because they are doing bad! Sic!
You are absolutely right buddy. I feel the same about service of HTC in India. My next phone would be Nexus. If HTC is not going to update HOX then I am going to root it.
4.3 rolling out in Taiwan for HTC one. I guess HTC will release 4.3 instead of 4.2.2 . basically Europe update had few WiFi bugs ,I thought HTC is working on that & then will roll out update to India. god knows what they're planning. hope they give update before they go bankrupt. lol

So you have to "BULLY" them?! I think that is poor indianism!
Do you think a local HTC service center would have any details regarding a global update schedule? There's a difference between support, service and information. And you called THREE times?!?!? Wasn't once enough to understand that they don't have a clue?!
Anyways I've seen a lot of posts where people are saying that they're fed up with HTC. I am too. But there's nothing that we can do about it (of course other than buy a new phone or buy the HTC one )! Best option is to wait patiently (as you said, you feel it'll be here 100%).
HTC One X+, HTC Butterfly, all getting india updates.
And from what I hear the new update is not that promising anyways! WiFi issues, battery issues, etc. It may very well be that they're fixing these issues before rolling them out to locations that they haven't released the updates to yet (this is a guess and you shouldn't invest emotions into the statement!).
Be patient, it'll be here! :fingers-crossed:
There is another option. ROOT and install update.

You keep your opinion with you n others who are with you . That's not indianism on what i said, we didn't got this phone for free, we indians "might" have bought this phone more than any other coutry in the world due to our population. Though if it was the usa then more things would have been corrected on the service center like they have here ( now talking on their service center just for this) . Go to fb page and see emotions there . And I never said I asked the service center people, I asked their customer care people who did knew about its 4.1.1 update and it came correctly then, i am a man of my words where actions are not needed to prove . Time has changed for HTC drastically . Just type peter Chou on Google and you would get the result that insiders telling the biggest problem for HTC is peter Chou and more . Anyways no need to argue I just clarified and let's hope for the best to get best update with all fixes soon . Peace**

Things don't work like we want they work in patterns like they are designed.
Don't worry there are posts on this site so you can update your phone with stock 4.2.2 sense 5 rom.
If you don't want to wait for sense 5 you have to sacrifice your bootloader (unlock it).

Just checked and to my delight the update box popped up... downloading now.. i guess they're finally rolling out in India... check your too...
Now that HTC have confirmed they are not providing any further OS updates for the One X and the One X+, I started a thread in the One X+ forum with a survey monkey link to give us all the chance to tell HTC what we think of their decision. Please take 5 minutes to complete the survey. The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49619827
Many users are frustrated that HTC don't listen to their customers so I compiled the survey to give us all the opportunity to express our collected opinion. Carpe diem!
Yeah, really bad move from HTC! :/
yeah, you pay good money for a device with good spec and you expect, because of the spec you would get more updates other than just JB, poor move HTC
It's not that I'm disappointed by the amount of updates, it's more that the updates HTC gave us constantly broke things. One of the first Updates added a new bootloader which broke the compactiblity of CM10, the update to 3.20.XXX.3 added a new touch driver which broke compactiblity to touch in recovery (at least if you still want to be able to use mass storage/adb) and the 4.2.2 update broke our wifi in october and htc still didn't bother to deliver a fix after almost half a year! I would have prefered when they had just made a single update from 4.0 to 4.2 and even keeped sense 4 as long as they had delived a fully working rom.
An other problem of htc are their kernel source releases: they always wait till the end of the 90-days-period after the rom-update before they release it, even though they definitly had it since the release of the rom update. Take an example at samsung: they haven't updated the note 3 to 4.4yet but the kernel source is already there!
I will never, ever again buy another HTC or Tegra phone.
Vote with your wallet, and don't buy HTC again. I certainly won't.
I think all phone manufacturers should keep phones updated for 2 years minimum as that is how long most phone contracts are for.
In the EU they are already covered by a 2 year warranty, i would expect the update issue to be forced in this region for the same reason.
Here is hoping any way
It is funny that for example LG will upgrade some low end devices to 4.4,a HTC wont upgrade One X and One X+ and they still have decent hardware and very nice display...shame on you HTC
I made my views pretty clear. HTC won't listen, if they do, it'll be a half ar**d support like the desire, desire HD...etc etc. Next time i'm just getting a google nexus phone outright and a 30 day rolling contract. Bye Bye HTC, hope you either learn or sink
The survey it doesn't mention the one x only the one x+, I am all for power to the consumer but HTC won't change their mind. I personally think if HTC had better update support then they would see a better market share. Look at the support Apple gave the iPhone 4/4s. I like HTC phones but I might look else where

What are the features on Kitkat that we don't have on 4.2.2 Sense 5 ?
I had the Frustration of updates when i was on desire z 2.2 and the upgrade to 2.3 (download manager and the toggle buttons) was extremely late in my country
but since hox started 4.1 i have not found Google adding any thing revolutionary that make a lot of difference to the device experience
I have been using HTC because of the build and the design of devices, only thing i hate about how htc handled hox is the brokern wifi on the current build, it has been disappointing
Not with HTC but I can share with you guyes
Do not give a damn whether my HOX gets more updates or not, what I care is the solid system, that's all.

It's a point of principle that you sell something to people and two years later you say to them "hey you bought our stuff within the last two years, but we can't support it anymore". Yes it isn't the end of the world and the phone won't exactly stop working, but when it's capable of getting the update and giving us (the people who buy the thing) a better android experience, then why deny us that? Not all of us want to keep getting new phones all the time.

Well that's a matter of choice that how you define "support".
No offence, but I can clearly see now (after the whole jb update issue back then) people who are somehow involved in software development or maintanance do get a clearer view.
Do you expect your Windows XP laptop to have Windows 8 free(which is three major versions later)?
Do you even tried to guess not even calculate what are the costs to HTC to update this phone further?
It came with 4.0, got minor fix, major in terms of effect but minor in version
Got major with 4.1 and got two minors for it
Got major with 4.2 and got one minor for it
The phone is supported, it is evolving and this must have an end. After 4.4 Google might release sonething magnificent too, if HTC provides 4.4, won't you want 4.5 too? Where does it stop? What is the ethical point to stop? No where...
It is just an economical view and that's the only approach you can have.
And HTC is a small company and it has a detailed "overlay software" over Android bla bla bla known stuff.
HTC's policy is the same for years.. I want you guys to stop this for saving your own energy, not for saving HTC don't get me wrong. I don't care how HTC feels, I ***** to their face on elevate
But ppl always consume time and energy about this and I just wanted to point out that its useless, of course you can do whtver u want
Cheers
Yep waste of space thread, if you want kit kat flash one of the 2 variants posted in this section.

Well that's a matter of choice that how you define "support".
No offence, but I can clearly see now (after the whole jb update issue back then) people who are somehow involved in software development or maintanance do get a clearer view.
Do you expect your Windows XP laptop to have Windows 8 free(which is three major versions later)?
Do you even tried to guess not even calculate what are the costs to HTC to update this phone further?
It came with 4.0, got minor fix, major in terms of effect but minor in version
Got major with 4.1 and got two minors for it
Got major with 4.2 and got one minor for it

well getting a phone on a 2 year contract suddenly becomes our fault if the company decides not to support it....ethical point to stop it would be when most people who've got the one x on a contract when it got released finish that contract. THAT in my mind would be ethical. But of course, there are other companies (crapsung) who updated their galaxy s2 all the way from gingerbread to 4.1.2 with touchwiz. Yes samsung is a bigger company but HTC are there to take the fight to them for market place...no? then i'm sorry....my prejudice still stands.

Why do you look for a side to put a blame on? You're still using the word "support" for upgrading a sofware to an upper version, but let stay in terms, if we're looking for "ethical", this does NOT mean support. I can get many things as your opinion, but this is NOT. HTC does still support One X, it is not upgrading the software to another major version, that is it. Don't wanna look annoying but I am a software and management consultant and make lots of Support and Maintenance agreements, what you want is not support.
Well, you want an ethical solution.. In Turkey One X was still sold I think ended about 4-5 months ago, and with 3 year contracts. It is also sold for a long time, may be not in Western countries or in Oceania, but deciding just for those countries is not legal right? So, how long the upgrade process should last then? till 2016? 2017? This has no ethical solution. You used the key word, most. This is the best way to measure the economic point of view Would you like to make a market analysis to find out when the One X is sold most? Would you choose a specific month of a year? This is a dead-end bro, believe me.
Again, don't wanna look annoying, but then get a crapsung, you do know they do update their phones further, that is clear from Sensation/S2.
This is how HTC makes their market strategy and you might say that it is clear that ther strategy is not working, but most of experts beliece upgrades are not the main reason for this.
Anyways, I don't wanna "troll" in the topic where people write their opinions, just wanted to share mine.

But it´s not about when the phone was released in YOUR Country but when it was released OFFICIALLY. And this was in April 2012 which means that HTC could release one last Update aka 4.4.
But as far as I know it´s not the fault of HTC but Nvidia for not supporting the Chipset in One X/X+ but only the one in the Nexus 7 2012 which means there are no new Kernels for 4.4

But then are we looking for an ethical solution, if we choose the start point as global release? I may have bought my phone as soon as it is released in my country and it could have been December 2012, and I might have gotten it with a three year contract. Who has the blame for my situation then? And the two is years is something just we made up since "most" of the users get the phone in two-year contracts and the warranty is for two years.
One last update.. But we still haven't reached May 2014, and till then Google might release a 4.5? Wouldn't we want it then?
Cheers
The only way we can change things regarding updates is to try to evoke a law where the minimal update timeframe is set

Well that´s another Problem with all the phone brands who build Android phones.
The updates take much too long to get released for the phones.
If I would follow your logic we still should get Android Kit Kat since it was released in November. A better example would be 4.3 which was released for Nexus phones 2 months before 4.2 was released for HOX(+).
It effectively means we got 2 big Android revisions (4.1 + 4.2) which means 1 year of support but it was only stretched from April 2012 (official release) to July/August 2013 (last update)
And just for your interest. It doesn´t matter how long the carrier contracts run or when it was released in YOUR country. It´s about unbranded devices which are officially released. Carrier branded phones shouldn´t be bought anymore and/or the consumer shouldn´t choose them anymore to make clear that the way carriers are working isn´t consumer friendly but that´s a whole different point
