htc one x nightmare

i have a htc one x locked to the 3 network, so far i have only had 1 update a couple of months ago which upgraded me too software number 1.28.771.9 this update cleared the htc sence crashing and at first worked perfectly, months have passed and slowly the charge time has gone right up, while charging and doing other basic tasks various battery monitors showed me it was reaching up to 60 degree's, the phone its self seems to stop looking for network a lot and unless i turn flight mode on/off again it will happily sit idle without network. Finally general battery life is terrible, just general web/facebook browing soon after charge can rapidly drain it. As far as im aware un-branded phones have had 3+ updates for the one x so im confused as to why i havent.
Help Please

if you HOX is defect free:
UNLOCK AND UNLEASH THE BEAST

I don't know which country you are in but my HOX is locked to 3Sweden. The case in Sweden is that 3 has their ****ty thing that they implement their bloatware in every update, hence the slow updates. Anyways, I rooted my phone after a week and currently has ARHD installed, planing to install CM10 when it's good to go for daily usage. ARHD is an amazing ROM, and great battery life to go with that. I recommend to root your phone and install a custom ROM, otherwise you don't unleash the true power of the almighty beast!

It's popular for the wrong reasons in truth. Only because it is the only way at the moment. To not root the hox, is to have a Bugatti in the garage, or riding with it in town. It needs the racing tracks, the same for hox. The hox needs the rooting and modifying in order to be truly unleashed. Sad but true.

There is another update coming for 3 users there is a thread on it
I'm on the same as you 1.28 but don't have the problems you speak of!

Three UK are saying the 1.29 update will be out this week. Don't know if I believe them but we live in hope!
I have considered rooting as well but I don't want to give up my warranty. In the last few days I am getting the "loading.." message every time I use the home button (sense is crashing). I have had to use a different launcher to make my phone usable for now (and to avoid me throwing it at a wall). I am waiting for the 1.29 update to come then will probably factory reset it and see how it goes.
Good luck whatever you decide.

loads of info here on the update that we dont have!

Also have you factory reset I know it is a pain reinstalling all the apps and setting up everything again but it might clear out the problems you re having

htc one x waiting for update from three uk
Hi I've also got a 3uk phone which I unlocked to all Sims usable, I'm also still only running v1.28 desperately waiting for three to bring out an update I'm having problems with memory disappearing, WiFi problems, my phone keeps over heating and speakers and head phone got this crackling noise. I'm really hoping this update which people say is coming this week will solve all 3 UK problems on there hox

I am on Three too (unrooted), and I am having none of the problems you talked about - although I have just sent mine to HTC to get the GPS sorted out.
I suggest you send yours off too, 1.28 or not your phone shouldn't be having those problems.

Hi according to HTC I voided my warranty because I sim unlock my phone which means that now I can't return it now for repairs.

Don't worry, that's not correct.
SIM unlock is fine, it's the bootloader unlock that they take issue with.

You can now use a SIM from any network -> SIM unlock.

[Q] I'm thinking about buying this phone.

I'm on verizon's network, and I was wondering where the roms are for this phone? I have a gs4 (mdk version), and If I buy this phone I will root it. After is rooted, is the bootloader unlocked? This phone has been out for a while, so there should be alot of roms for it. Thanks

hello my friend. this phone as locked bootloader(only t-mobile doesnt),if u root your phone u wont unlock it just root.
about roms they start shownig up as soon someone manage to unlock the bootloader install the custom recovery and so on.

What the poster before me said is true. However, even the T-Mobile ROM section is pretty empty. The ROMS we DO have are all dying as well. As in, scarce or no updates.

If you are buying the phone, just buy it for what it is. I'm not keeping my hopes up that the bootloader would be unlocked and even if it is all or most of the devs would have moved on to other devices. As a stock phone which is just rooted, it is a fine device. big nice screen in a small-ish form factor. I use it easily with one hand and my hands are average size. Battery life is also great for me, I usually get 4-5 hours of on screen time with varying levels of usage. It also comes with some nice software features such as the dual app on a screen thingy . The camera is also good (to me) it really does focus faster than any other phone I have before. On top of all that it is one of the more unique looking devices out there.

It is a great phone. I am running it without any root for one and a half week. Superb camera, great display and satisfying performance. Just someone said above me, use it for what it is.

Thanks for the info. What the hell is up with all the locked bootloaders? I know it has to do with security, but come on. Anyway, thanks again.

I bought the note 3 before I bought this phone I have. It was just to big for my hands. It was a two handed phone for me. I had it for two weeks, then got the gs4. Thanks for the info

[Q] Is it possible to S-Off on latest verizon OTA ?

I'm currently having some Strange issues with my HTC one . It keeps turning off at around 20-30% battery, I'm not sure if that's cause of my rom or if my battery is going bad but i think it's the battery. Luckily i have Insurance and Verizon will just send me a replacement. Only thing i'm worried about is i may get a HTC One already on 4.4.3 and i was under the impression Rumrunner wont S off the phone on the 4.4.3 OTA. I tried doing a couple of Searches but i haven't been able to find a straight answer. If anyone could provide me with a answer i would be insanely grateful. OR IF anyone know what OTA Version Asurian sends users when they get replacement HTC one's.

I would figure by now all their phones would have the latest OS on them. There's always a chance of getting one that's on the old os that you can root. Good luck but doubt you will luck out

Sunshine will s-off 4.4.3.

newb help please

Guys a newbie here but eager to learn how to root my htc m7 can anyone help me out with this? I have read that you must use sunshine to unlock this device is this true??I know yall usually hate dealing with nubes but I would appreciate any help. My m7 is horrible now hoorid batt slow operation it needsmajor help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I honestly don't remember using anything called sunshine. But, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
YouTube is your friend! ? im a very visual person when it comes to tech stuff. Search for "HTC One m7 rooting" and then filter it to videos from one year.
Watch them at least twice before starting to do anything. I highly recommend the ROMs by Santod. He has been around for quite some time, and is active in development.

For the VERIZON variant of the m7, to unlock the boot loader (which u need for root), yes u need sunshine. All other variants can unlock their bootloaders for free via htcdev, but vZw had HTC block all the vzw variants from Doing that. But the bonus is, Sunshine will unlock your boot loader AND gain u S-off. Which u definitely want if u plan on modding your phone. After Sunshine does it's magic, all u have to do is flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU, and you're rooted. Sunshine DOES cost $25, but it's the best $25 I ever spent...

Should I Buy This Phone?

I'm getting ready to upgrade from my beloved Galaxy S4. I'm considering the One M9 and would love to hear opinions from current owners.
I saw another thread titled similarly, but that person didn't mention some of my chief concerns.
My biggest concern is I MUST have a rooted phone. The S4 was a bit of a pain because it was locked down so much, but the amazing people here on XDA always came through and eventually worked up root methods that idiots like me can follow. Other than the root issue, I have loved the S4.
My phone before the S4 was an HTC Incredible, which was awesome. And with a Verizon recently locking up the S6 with updates to block rooting, I thought HTC might be my ticket once again. Then when I came here to do some research, it seems Verizon has similarly locked down the One M9.
So how difficult is it to root the M9?
I saw something about sending the phone off to a gentleman who could unlock the bootloader. That would be an option for me since I don't have to have the phone immediately. If I do that, does that solve the root difficulty permanently?
On top of all that, how is the One M9 as a phone? Is Sense still similar to previous versions, etc.?
I'd love to read your thoughts!

Well, first of all, this question has been asked several times here and there are a handful of responsive threads that answer some of your questions.
1. It's very easy to root the M9, if you have access to one of the individuals in the java card thread. I drove a few miles west on the PA turnpike to hook-up with @dottat after acquiring my M9 and had a rooted, bootloader-unlocked handset within minutes of our meet-up. I had someone else waiting in the wings for me to mail it to him, but this was more convenient. If you aren't near anyone on that thread's map, you'll have to send the handset out. Yes, that's harder than the "gool ol' days" with many of the exploits available on xda and elsewhere, but that's life now.
2. As a phone it's great. If you happen to get another call from someone else with advance calling it is to telephone audio what FM is to AM.
3. The camera is very good. No OIS, but with 21 megapixels, it's pretty darn good. The front facing camera, an ultrapixel camera, is excellent for selfies, if you're into that sort of thing (I'm most assuredly not).
4. The processing speed is very quick with the multi-core processor.
5. Sense 7 is much more unobtrusive than prior Sense versions. I like it very much. I had even flashed a Sense 7 ROM on my M8 because I preferred it to Sense 6.
6. The device can get hot, especially in a sunlit care when dashboard mounted with BT audio and GPS in use. Very hot. The solution is run it naked and on a charger, otherwise your battery will die before you arrive anywhere. Overheating is less prevalent out of sunlight.
Hope that helps.

Just How Hot?
Thanks for the great feedback! I didn't know about the heat issue.
Here's another question: I use my phone at LOT for tethering. I keep it plugged in because the battery drain is so intense while doing so, but if the screen is on for any amount of time even the S4 gets HOT to the point of shutting down.
I'm not saying that's a flaw in the phone ... that's a lot of computing/work for such a small device, but ... do you think the M9 would be unworkable for my intense tethering?

I don't think tethering alone would do. Direct sunshine and GPS seem to be the main drivers

The heat is a luck of the draw thing too. My phone is caseless mounted to the dash and charging any time I'm driving. At a minimum it is playing music and has the GPS active. A lot of times it is running waze/google maps or Ingress. While it will get hot to the touch, I have never seen the actual overheat warning. I think the highest I've seen is ~118°F battery temp. I don't usually check the CPU temp.

Took the Plunge
Thanks again for the feedback, guys. I went ahead and ordered an M9 last night.
Will be sending it off to get bootloader unlocked as soon as it arrives.
Don't know what I'd do without XDA!
