HTC’s Android powered flagship phone, the One X was announced earlier this year and saw a worldwide launch a few months later. The phone was intended to compete against the likes of the Apple iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S II. Samsung did counter HTC’s move be releasing the Galaxy S III a few weeks ago.
Anyway, as for the HTC One X, its launch was riddled with issues with initial reports talking about the phone reportedly having issues related to Wi-Fi connectivity.
Days after the launch of the HTC One X, there were users who came up to HTC with issues related to connectivity loss. HTC acknowledged the same and the company had issued an update that supposedly fixed the issue. Even after applying the fix, new users have come out in the open with claims that the issue persists.
The affected One X models seem to have their origins from HTC’s Taiwanese manufacturing unit. Devices made in the company’s facility in mainland China seem to be free of these connectivity problems from what we have heard so far.
Unlike Apple, which initially out the blame on users and asked them to hold their phones “properly” HTC has acknowledged the problem has expressed the desire to fix the problem.
In fact, affected users can get a replacement handset if you can show to HTC that you face this issue. For more adventurous users, there is a hardware fix that involves some soldering and tapes.
