HTC One [Megathread]

Stuxnet · 20-09-2012 12:12pm

Picked up my One X this morning, tis a beauty, looking forward now to pimping the 5h1t out of it now

Kxiii · 21-09-2012 9:37pm

Just seen on Techradar the one x reportedly getting Jellybean in October. Link. Fingers crossed that it is.

motownman · 22-09-2012 12:25pm

Have my One X since April.

Brilliant phone accept for wifi. It was pretty good until I got the last firmware update (2.17.401.2). Now it drops the wifi if I am more than 4 metres away from the router.

Hopefully, they will issue a firmware update with the Jelly Bean roll out that sorts this problem.

Pretty sure it's a hardware fault. Press lightly between the camera and the volume button and see if your WiFi strength increases, if so, tis a hardware problem.

heads up, just accepted an OTA android & HTC sense ui update,

stuck in infinite bootloop now :-/

unlocked bootloader & rooted, but stock rom...

My WiFi kinda jumps up and down a lot without moving, not very reliable at times when I'm a bit away from router. Main prob I find is the odd time when on a strong connection even, nothing works on WiFi until I disconnect and connect to it again, then works fine.

Thankfully I don't think I have the hardware prob

Did you have it plugged in when you updated, there's a warning not to, think a few people had issues like this when the 4.04 update arrived.

Not impressed with HTC on this one. Bad form to get a lot of people on long term contracts then announce a more high end phone.

But it isn't a new model, it's just an iteration on the current phone. A bit annoying really.

mik_da_man · 28-09-2012 10:28am

Same as the iPhone so

dave13 · 28-09-2012 10:55am

Don't mind companies releasing new models 6 months after original is launched, it just better get updated to 4.1 pretty quickly or my next phone will be a samsung.

ChopShop · 30-09-2012 9:27am

My (unbranded) one X is at 4.0.4 after a download this morning.

Which i presume is a pecursor to JellyBean.

Zascar · 30-09-2012 11:06am

Nothing availabel on mine. Any rough idea how long until the jellybean update?

Rumours say October for unbranded phones , UK + Ireland with be 2 - 3 weeks late as usual+ another 3 - 4 weeks for branded roms... If your unlocked tho you should be running jellybean before Halloween

I've been at 4.04 for months. Isn't it just the Sense 4.1 update?

You're probably thinking of 4.0.3. 404 was only out maybe 2 months.

vibe666 · 30-09-2012 3:57pm

just dropped my one x on the carpet here at work (carpet tiles) from waist hieght as i took it out of my pocket and the screen shattered on impact.

pretty sure i took out insurance with meteor when i got it, so we'll have to see how that goes.

need to get the wifi issue sorted and get the camera lens replaced anyway, so hopefully get a job lot.

If you thought the One X's capacitive button layout jarred with the Ice Cream Sandwich experience you saw on the Galaxy Nexus, you'll like what HTC's just told us. An update to version 4.0.4, launching today, will allow users to map menu functionality to the lower right 'recent app' key, while it will also treat its owners to white balance and continuous autofocus improvements within its well-received camera app. Expect a handful of stability improvements as well as a dedicated tab switcher for the built-in browser -- if you haven't already made the leap to Chrome. According to HTC, the update for the international iteration rolls out today, with the AT&T version already doing the rounds. The full statement's included below. Let us know how you get on.

The 4.0.4. bundled with sense 4.1 only came out in August, on the international HOX. Any chance you're on the XL or S?

Dercola · 30-09-2012 8:58pm

I had my HTC One X in my back pocket when I sat on it on Friday night. Screen also shattered on "impact" :eek: Good job I don't have self confidence issues.. Anywho, just wondering if anybody on here has gone about repairing a screen themselves and if so, how difficult a job is it? Talking glass screen and LCD display here..

Cheers

Stuxnet · 01-10-2012 10:38am

stuck on the CM10 jb 4.1.1 nightlie for my One X, stunning isn't the word ! awesome rom, and haven't had one stability issue since installing last Thursday !

I was on CM10 for a good while but missed the Beats sound of Sense. I tried all of the Beats mods out there and just couldn't get music to sound as good.

I do miss CM10 though.

hmm fair point, never occurred to me about losing beats, I haven't used it as a music player tho, so I'm not too bothered ! must keep an eye out for re-integration of it in the future

Mike1986 and Football over at XDA have been hinting that a Sense JB ROM is due very soon. They've had a test ROM working but with no radio.

I listen to music on my commute to and from work and really miss Beats when I don't have it. I am a couple of weeks back on ARHD now and I'm thinking of switching again but then i will remember why i miss beats :-(

are you using the htc headphones or do you need beats headphones also, those headphones that came with the phone are very uncomfortable I find

Stuxnet wrote: »

I'm using my own headphones. I just find the sound with the Beats Sound Enhancer on the phone enabled is better that any other phone i have had before, and Sense roms have better sound that other non sense roms. Maybe thats just a personal thing though.

I was just looking around XDA there and it looks like there are some Sense JB Roms available now. Only problem is you have to unlock your bootloader and other steps to get them, once you install Sense JB you can't go back to ICS....

WolfForager · 04-10-2012 11:25am

Jellybean update for unbranded One X & S to be rolled out this month.

the whole year inn · 06-10-2012 9:05pm

Was looking at the Galaxy note 2 and I see there a feature where you can use 2 apps at the same time,is there any rom on the onex that does this?

.E_C_K_S. · 07-10-2012 2:19pm

Hi guys,
Just got a HTC One X and want to learn about how to make more of the phone in terms of performance etc...

Complete noob here when it comes to rooting, modding or installing custom Roms.

First of all I just want to unlock my phone. Is rooting the first step in any sort of modification?

What have people here done to their phones to make it that bit better. I'd like to read some info about the process before doing it also

cheers

By unlock do you mean bootliader or network?

Yes, network. You'll need to go to your operator or get a code online. No root can help.

Simplest way is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671

And there's a number of ROMS here with easy flashing instructions:http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1536

I use ARHD 9.7.2 and can't fault it.

wardie101 · 19-10-2012 7:14pm

FYI , I had the wireless issue on my One X.

Picked up by UPS and sent to HTC last Thursday and got it back yesterday.

No Wifi issues now

Also got new casing and screen so scratches all gone .

keredern · 19-10-2012 9:08pm

The son's One S went for a prolonged swim last week in a soft drink leak disaster!

He did all the usual things to dry it out asap.

Working ok but goes mad every so often & buttons won't work, etc.

Does anyone know if (a) it's repairable (b) how much it's likely to be & (c) where would be the best place to leave it?

Thanks guys!

Anyone know of any good apps or software or other methods to transfer your text messages from HTC 1 to your PC?

I'm looking for this info for a friend, so I'm not familiar with this phone or Android.

Cheers

dave13 · 23-10-2012 8:14am

Do you want them as a text file on your PC or for transfer to another phone?
"SMS backup+" backs up all your messages to your gmail account, or "SMS Backup & restore" backs up your messages to an xml file which can be reimported to a new phone.
