Thats rubbish....its been around for nearly a week now.

I take it your not rooted?

Yeah, not rooted.

Phone is not carrier-restricted or branded, so not sure what the delay is.

Still waiting on the update myself and in the same boat as the rest, unbranded and I assume unlocked.

Anyone root yet? Any issues or was it plain sailing? Any issues updating to 1.29... did the update remove your root?

I have heard things about having to relock your bootloader before running the 1.29 update, can anyone clarify?

I previously rooted my HTC desire and my gf's wildfire so I'm not a noob to rooting.

Yes mine is rooted. Its not too difficult yet it is the most difficult android phone I've used with regards to installing custom roms etc and thats mainly because the boot.img's atm have to be flashed seperately due to not having a proper S-OFF allthough that will hopefully be resolved down the line.

Here's Paul O'Brien's thread on rooting your device.

You can flash the updates through fastboot which doesn't involved relocking the bootloader. I actually got the update to 1.29 from 1.28 by simply installing Android Revolution 5.0 rom. If you try the OTA update through the update facility though you would need to relock the bootloader though which sounds messy.

Alltogether though once I unlocked the device, rooted and installed clockworkmod its been relatively easy, just more steps to take with roms atm than with other devices. Once you are carefull and follow the instructions to the letter its fairly plain sailing IMO

Have a look in your accounts and sync settings and make some changes there. For starters I'd personally delete your htc account as I hear that drains battery. Also there are certain things like facebook and twitter, weather widgets that just sync way too often (weather widget I think syncs every hour which for me was ridiculous). Also twitter, facebook, hotmail and google I only really wanted to sync contacts and calender so I turned off syncing for everything else. You can allways sync this stuff manually when you need it.

Can you only set auto sync on/off? Was looking to set certain apps to update, some to be left til i do it myself, but can't see settings for it.

My google account for example, i can't see a way to set it to sync at specific periods, or twitter, facebook etc.

Seems very odd that it can not be manually configured, would seem lie a rather basic function

Thats because they dont use timed polling, they all use C2DM (push).
They dont change unless theres a change at the server side then they update

For those of you waiting on the OTA, enter the following in the dialer:
*#*#2432546#*#*
*#*#CHECKIN#*#*

If your phone is unbranded, it'll manually enter the update queue. You should see "checkin succeeded" in your notification bar if you did it right.

Alternatively if you don't mind losing your applications and settings (Or you just bought your phone yesterday e.t.c.) just download and run the RUU:

Did this and got the notification, what exactly did I just do? :P

HTC update phones batch by batch according to their serial number and queues them up for the OTA. checkin just manually checks you in to the queue.

Only did the first bit because I've no idea how to write text in the dialpad

Cheers PAMG will see how this works out.

Anyone know how to extend the ringing time on the One X?? I'd say mines at about 15 seconds at the moment and want to get it up to 30. Thanks

Settings -> Call -> Call forwarding -> Forward when unanswered -> Choose your delay --> Push update

Ok guys bit of a predicament here, so basically...
The White One X looks sexy and the black looks pretty meh, but there are a lot of black One X's showing up on adverts.ie for about €400 right now, im not sure If I should hold out till a white one pops up or go for it on contract with Meteor for a €200 premium
So basically if anybody has experience with both colour variants id love to hear your opinion.. I want help me justify spending extra for the smexy White :P

Will probably be installing the 1.29.401.8 test RUU as it gets uploaded at some point today (hopefully before I go to bed). No info on any improvements as of yet.
