That is the question, so far I've only heard of h23 and h24 being affected

Thanks Bigoliver. I can confirm I have this issue too. My phone wasn't like this when I got it, but it seems to have developed the problem over the last month or so (maybe the constant heating and cooling these phones go though has caused this??).
I have found that applying a very slight twisting motion when holding the top and bottom of the phone between both hands must separate the wifi contacts and my signal drops off and often disconnects. A small squeeze and wifi signal increases.
Now... What to do..... (unlocked through HTC)
Edit- Mines a HT23

Godamned ... its the same for me here, didn't have it for about a month, then it started ... I thought it was caused by the new firmware as it appeared right after flashing it... now I see it isn't caused by that .... I did drop my hox a couple of times by accident... I'm glad I have an all inclu insurance ;D

I have just started to experience this, i squeezed and my wifi shot up to max strength but has not dropped back down after a released it.
Hopefully ill be getting a SH25 unit today I will let you know after some testing.
The point is, you can't test this on new devices. There is a change that the device will be normal for a few days or even weeks before the problem starts. I think, but that's a bold statement, a lot more phones will have this problem sooner or later. HTC has a big problem if this isn't fixed in later build versions of the phone. The connection between antenna and the WiFi/Bluetooth chip will only become more loose over time, so the problem will only become worse over time and will affect more phones.
I didn't pay that much attention to the WiFi signal strength in the first week, I had a connection on all places I had before, so that was fine. After a week or so, I began to notice that the phone had trouble keeping connections alive on places I had no problems before. It was just after the first OTA update, so at first I blamed that update. Later I had to admit it was a hardware issue.

I have an H25 model and I got the issue too. But I haven´t had problems with it since if I hold it in my hand, my hand is not covering the area between the camera lens and the volume buttons.
Does anyone have a close up photo of the contact points? The photo in the first post is a bit vague and the photo's of TechRepublic are of an AT&T version of the One X and the color of the mainboard is different.
I'm not sure if I'm going to open the case, but I'm temped to do it since the repair center didn't repair anything. Do I void my warranty if I open it, e.g. do I break a seal?

Now we gonna need some close up pictures and some "how to" videos so people who doesn't have warranty can open the phone at home and fix it safely!
Oke, sounds easy. My second question, are there any seals inside the phone that they can check for warranty?
Interesting! No WiFi issues on my one month old HOX, but it has horrible GPS reception. I've been posting in various GPS threads for at least a week that I suspected it was an antenna issue. I'll research where that antenna is and see if squeezing the phone helps GPS.
Also, guys, saying you have an HT23 doesn't limit the range much, that just means the phone was made in March. There's a couple of threads about that. If you're really trying to see if it's a specific group of defective phones you should probably always include 5 digits of the serial, i.e., HT23W.

i think tey can check everything for waranty....you r the only one to decide if you can take the risk.... For me i don t have time for waiting a good or bad answer from the repair center about my waranty.
And i sell all the phones i had just keep the one x and i need it
I too thought it was my router but checked and it increased upon pressure. Now as its a hardware defect and not software they can't refuse a warranty repair or replacement.
I have a white ht23
