How would i find out if my phone is locked? I'm just wondering if it's possible to bring my phone to Australia in the new year, and get a sim over there. It's a Three One X, but it's not branded in any way that i can see.

Also, if it is locked, would rooting it remove the lock?

I got mine from Three on launch day and its unbranded and unlocked. Usually an easy way to tell is if when the phone starts up you get the Three logo instead of the htc logo then its locked.

No Three logo on startup anyway, and no real mention of Three anywhere. Hopefully it's unlocked in that case.

According to posters on XDA, Jelly Bean appears to be on general release for the One X on mainland Europe.

Past updates have usually been rolled out in UK/Ireland about a week after the rest of Europe.

Got it going on One X. Not great quality coming from it so far but I'll give it more than 5 mins before I pass judgement

I found it great working off wifi at home.

Yea, it's actually pretty good. Nothing to complain about, good on WiFi and not too bad on 3G after a min or so of indistinguishable pixels

Anyone using a custom ROM got SkyGo working?

Saadyst · 17-12-2012 2:54pm

Saw this on the HTC One X thread on XDA, in order to get the JB OTA now:

All you have to do is download:
http://d-h.st/XsN
Unzip them
Install both APKS
Restart Phone
Check for update.

Certainly worked for me anyway, downloading the update now.

Zascar · 17-12-2012 3:03pm

Sweet, it works! Downloading now

If anyone needs links to the two individual files you can just download and install directly here

I got the update on my Vodafone one x this morning. Just manually checked for the update

viking · 17-12-2012 3:10pm

Tried that method with the 2 files, didnt work for me on a 3 branded phone

WolfForager · 17-12-2012 3:13pm

Only works for unbranded phones!

Yeah, updated mine there, seems to be more laggy than before and it's just force restarted o.0

EDIT: Ok the force restart seems to have sped things up a bit, seems that quadrant standard is causing it to restart. I want to know the new benchmarks

Zascar · 17-12-2012 3:40pm

Mine works. I can't work out what's different though. Does anyone have a guide to what's new in JB Or what new features are worth trying?

Haha yeah it's hilarious, all this wait and at the end I was the same - had no idea what I should have been expecting.

Well there are a few interface changes that I notice, I'm not sure whether it is faster / snappier. Noticed Google Now straight away, but no idea how to actually use it - will it just pop up when it feels like it?

Oh, and it just restarted itself on me. Joy :eek:

Zascar · 17-12-2012 4:11pm

How do you get into Google Now? That's what I was interested to try...

Cheers worked for me too.Unbranded on Meteor

Kiith · 17-12-2012 5:37pm

So can you install this even if your phone hasn't been rooted, or do you need to root it first?

Does not need to be rooted.

You just need a Zip manager app on your phone to open the file.

Kiith · 17-12-2012 5:45pm

Cheers, will give it a go later.

beno619 · 17-12-2012 5:58pm

The stock browser is now astonishingly fast

massy086 · 17-12-2012 7:19pm

well didnt work for me either on a o2 branded phone aw well wait a little longer eh

Kxiii · 17-12-2012 9:06pm

Got it working on Unbranded One X. Looks like the carousel home screen is back. I'm glad it is, as it was a pain in ass having to swipe all the way from left to right.I do like the blue accents through out the menu looks much better the green.

Still don't see much use for google now as the speak back doesn't seem to want to answer my questions.
