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.

Thanks. Are those apps or software for computer?

He just wants to have an electronic copy and to be able to print them off if needed.

They will back up to his Google account so he can print them off like an Email, if I'm not mistaken.

WolfForager · 28-10-2012 11:23am

Now rolling out in Europe with CID codes HTC_044. I myself have CID HTC_001, which is the UK as far as I know, nothing yet for me.

How about ye guys with unbranded One X's bought in the republic? What CID codes do ye have?

To check CID, download "Terminal Emulator" off the store and enter "getprop ro.cid".

nedd · 28-10-2012 11:33am

mine is branded and CID is O2___001

I cannot wait for the Jelly bean update. I have been watching the threads on XDA and dying a little on the inside :-(

I have been on CM10 3 times at this stage but always switch back to Sense Roms because they are so much more stable.

Same. The CM roms have a few dirty hacks affecting the stability since theres no JB kernel source yet. But ill miss things from JB too

My CIDS H3G_001. DAMN YOU 3!!!

Same here. The phone was left alone in all other regards, why not just leave it with one of the main CIDs?

So once we update to Jelly Bean flash players will not work in any browser? Can someone clarify this for me please?

Still works in firefox if the aosp builds are anything to go by.
Have to sideload the flash apk though

Julius Seizure · 28-10-2012 2:06pm

Flash still works just not supported. It wil never work in chrome. You may not install from play store. So look up for the apk and install that. Flash will then work in Firefox, and, for me, stock browser.apk although I'm not on sense.

tok9 · 30-10-2012 12:14pm

Anyone have the update?

Can anyone recommend a decent car mount for the One X?

dahamsta · 30-10-2012 12:56pm

The official one is grand, haven't had any problems with it.

I got this one,

Hasn't lost suction since I got it, which was the beginning of May this year. Very quick to put the phone in - just a quick flip. And you can then easily rotate the phone left or right when it's mounted for using different apps or car mode.

SteM · 31-10-2012 11:06am

I picked up one of these and am delighted with it. Bit expensive but it automatically turns 'car mode' on which is what I was looking for.

lertsnim · 31-10-2012 9:32pm

Anybody else have GPS issues with the One X? I used it a few times over the last week when walking and it tells me I walked a maximum speed of 50km/h or so. This happened with the My Tracks app. I tried the same on a Galaxy S II and I had no such problems.

Could this be a software fault or is it a hardware issue?

_Kaiser_ · 31-10-2012 10:16pm

Guys, anyone experiencing the screen flicker issue with the One S?

It's apparently pretty common with the One X but I've just sold an as-new 3-week-old One S that I didn't need (have a Galaxy Note as my main phone) and the buyer is telling me that the screen is flickering on light grey/white backgrounds.

I can't say I noticed it myself but then I hardly used it so probably wouldn't have anyway.

Anyone seen this happening on theirs?

dahamsta · 01-11-2012 2:40am

Anyone updated to JB yet? HTC__001 here, no go.

Nope, tired of waiting for it. My next phone will be a nexus.

lertsnim · 01-11-2012 12:12pm

Nothing here either. I knew the end of October was too good to be true.

lertsnim · 04-11-2012 4:58pm

Diairist · 04-11-2012 9:15pm

anyone's maps acting up? Mine shows squares of the map which flicker on & off.

Yeah, have had the same thing when out cycling. It tends to happen when I stationary mostly though.

Never happened with my Galaxy Nexus.

According to Xda, the roll out has been delayed as they are fixing some bugs they discovered following its release in Taiwan. Middle of the month now, apparently.

If it's already rooted I don't see what would be the difference with using mac over windows.

Get the Rom zip and Gapps zip and flash them.

But you need adb and fast boot to flash kernel. Hint: go to xda-developers.com, then forum, then HTC one x. Many guides and ROMs there.

Not sure if anyone here can help or not. I smashed the screen of my One X & im looking for a place to get it fixed. Preferably Wicklow/south Dublin area.

Cracked the glass on mine yesterday and I'm finding it very difficult to find someone who'll repair it. Half considered buying the digitizer from eBay, but was warned that most are poor quality fakes and the task of replacing it is awkward enough, also there's lots of people warning against it owing to reports of some very heavily bonded screens. I'm looking at sending it to HTC but it'll cost around 175 sterling. Which is steep. I'm lucky in that it's cracked just on the border and doesn't extend to the screen but it is a weakness that could prove problematic.

I ended up getting this one: http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170877722749#ht_4836wt_2614 - got good reviews and it's pretty cheap. I'll let you know how it goes..

managed to get cm10 running what a difference it makes to the phone love it again

GEasy · 10-11-2012 12:39am

Is a custom rom much better than say the htc sense version? I like the 'car mode' on the phone as it is but stuff like HTC locations annoy the hell out of me (no way to get the phone to use google maps as default navigation in car mode )

vard · 10-11-2012 12:59am

I hear so much about all these custom roms. I would consider switching, but only if there will be either NO impact on battery life, or if I'd get better battery.

Can anyone advise?

Cheers

P0lygon Wind0w · 10-11-2012 12:03pm

Not using Google Navigation in car mode doesn't sound right.

I agree with the above poster about using 'Select Other Map' when finding locations from Contacts etc and not having to use HTC Locations but Google Navigation was always there from the start as my default navigation in Car Mode.

Scroll to the left twice and you get more Google Navigation options.

Also, with the Sense update 4.1, anything you add to your Music Apps appears in car mode - so you can put anything you like in there to get access to when in car mode by scrolling to the right

Zascar · 13-11-2012 3:05pm

Ah Balls. I really want it. My phone is not rooted but am I right in saying if I do root it I can get a custom rom with jelly bean?
Any recommendations of good ones, and a guide to do it from start to finish for a noob?

Depends on your phones ID.
If you have an unlocked international one then you might be able. If you got from any carrier here then probably not

(Like me. Screw you 3 -_-)

Zascar · 13-11-2012 8:56pm

Hmmm how do I check? I got it from 02 but it's not branded might just be sim free

dahamsta · 13-11-2012 9:41pm

If you root you can change your CID. Go to xda-forum, browse to your handset, read the guide.

Unfortunately there's still no S-OFF for the HOX so it's not possible to change the CID.

I'm not sure that is true. I think you can only change your CID if your phone is S-OFF. The majority of One X's are S-ON...

If I'm wrong please tell me because I want to upgrade.

You're right, I'm thinking of my last handset, I bought my HOX SIM-free because O2 screwed me on an upgrade, hence HTC__001; apologies to the previous poster.
