Just 3 left for 1.29.401.11
- Thread starter bigbamboo5
- Start date
Recently my contract came up for renewal, so I went with the One X because Three didn't have any other phones I was really interested in. Delivery date is Thursday this week so I'm really hoping Three get the update out soon. :/
If only....
That would be nice. As it stands, I feel cheated by 3. HTC roll out the updates, but 3 just drag their feet as usual :-(
I'd like to return the phone as a faulty unit (being that without the update we lose still gigabytes of space on a regular basis) but the phone is simply too good to give up on due to my impatience. If they don't sort themselves out soon, I'm gonna have to consider rooting my device & flashing the stock HTC ROM, so I can get future timely updates. Suppose that will void my warranty though. :-D

When I got my phone I noticed the battery life was bad and when I started the camera I was horrified by them green lines.the 1.28 update fixed that but if I have the phone full brightness I can see the screen flickering .does 1.29 fix this? I'm on the UK network 3 still waiting for 1.29(the HTC is the most amount of money I every spent at on time so I was pissed to find out about all the glitches ,still it's getting PlayStation mobile)

For Europe, there has been 1.29.401.7 and 1.29.401.11, only the last one fixed the flickering.
You can't as we don't have S-OFF. You can only go for custom ROMs and update accordingly when they release new versions
They are so far behind everyone else now that I imagine there is some issue with porting the update across with their customisation. Maybe they've skipped it altogether?
I have just upgraded through 3 on Tuesday to the HOX and upon getting the phone from the store I was talking to the sales guy who owns one he mentioned that there should be an update in 10 days time! whether this is true or not is a different story!
I have had to wait a few months after others have had updates on phones in the past with 3

It really is very odd - nearly six weeks on and the Vodafone forum is still saying that they have 'no news as to when the update might be coming'. I'm guessing that there must be some kind of issue with the customisation, which doesn't bode well. (Especially seeing as no customers will have wanted the phone customised in the first place...)
I personally think its quite clear that certain networks teams dont put enough resources into it and its not a major concern, the don't get that to users its a major concern especially in light of the bugs these updates fix. And they wonder why people want to run custom roms so much at least they are upto date.
I'm reading on the UK Vodafone forum that someone tried the in-store display phones and both of them were pushing the 1.29 update, so it seems like it's on its way...
I think display phones tend to be unbranded. The display One X in my local Three store has been on 1.29 for weeks. It was also on 1.28 a couple of weeks before the Three branded update came out.
Had a frustrating conversation with Three support today.
When asked when the next HOX software update would be available he said my phone would already be on it. When I explained that unbranded phones already have the 1.29 update and we are still waiting he denied it was anything to do with Three! He insisted HTC distribute all updates to the phones and even said no updates have been released yet as the HOX is a brand new phone. I said that was also wrong as I had received the 1.28 update since buying the phone from Three but he just couldn't comprehend this. When I said I had seen comments on the Three support Twitter feed that they are testing 1.29 before releasing it to Three locked phones he once again denied Three have any involvement in the release of updates and said it is down to HTC!
It got quite heated as I said that was incorrect but he just told me to use HTC Sync to check for updates.
I just gave up at this point as I was getting more and more wound up by the fool at the other end of the call. Has anyone been told anything more solid by Three support?

3Another potential break through,
I complained to HTC UK on twitter about Three (to which Three tried to defend themselves, funny how quickly they reply when you publicly complain about them to someone important). HTC privately sent me an @htc.com email address to have a chat with someone about my issues in more depth and privately
I have fired HTC an email saying:
I will let you know if I get a reply.
Andy3Just had a call from Three Executive Office.
They could see the volume of correspondence from me, and see the amount of requests for information regarding my partly working One X.
She said she had been speaking to her Tech Team, and they had supplied the following info regarding updates:
- Release in April cleared and passed on to customers.
- Release in May had radio issues and was returned to HTC.
- Release in June caused radio issues, and also led to highly increased instances of network and call dropouts.
- (IMPORTANT) Three have been advised that there will be a further upgrade containing all fixes with them next week, and this should, all being well in testing, be passed on by the end of August, with 27th/28th being hoped for, but not promised.
I will get a call from them next week with a further update. They apologise for lack of updates, and are aiming to address now and in the future.
They will not sanction unlocking and/or rooting, but have taken on board that their branding of the phones may cause more problems than it solves on the newest handsets, and given everyone's access to the Internet and other mediums, this practice may be outdated and will be passed on for consideration.
That, is the latest from Three UK, and doesn't seem to firmly solve anybody's concerns, but does at least suggest a future.
Maybe.
Oh, and don't shoot the messenger.
