HTC One X software update available in UK
10 May 2012
HTC has released the latest software update for its flagship HTC One X smartphone.
The software update - 1.29.401.7 - is rumoured to address reported issues with screen flicker and also battery life.
HTC has yet to issue official confirmation of what fixes the update contains.
Users can do the update manually by heading to Settings > About > Software updates.
The update has been rolling out across Europe over the last few days but only now seems to be arriving in the UK, though different network providers may well make the update available at different times.

Great news One X owners.
HTC have confirmed that 1.29.xxx.11 has now resolved the flicker.
Many thanks to the helpful folk at xda.developers.
Anyone got this update yet? I'm on O2 and there is nothing available as of now.
Well atleast someone understands me
I can understand your frustration Landzw, but people also want to read the review about the next best thing. It took the One X I had about a week before it showed any signs of problems. Up until that time it was a fantastic phome, fully deserving of the 5 star rating it received.
WHF, could re-review it (which sometimes they do), but HTC have now promised a software update to fix the issues. It would have to be reviewed yet again afterwards.
I think we should just see how this one pans out.
I don't mind being able to read about lots of different stuff, though some of the reasons for ratings are a little mind blowing e.g. Con Apple TV no 3D content is just insane to say such a thing.
The problem with certain items of tech e.g you have to use it over a short period to start learning the problems and reliability issues. If you look at the different forums the issues with this phone is complete madness yet it still got 5 stars.
The products should be rated for what they are and not what you want them to be, and there is nothing wrong with re-reviewing the item at a later date
On the contrary: it's an update to a smartphone we have reviewed on the site, and which people have been discussing in our Forums – a phone able to play both music and video, and therefore of just as much interest as, say, an iPod or any other portable entertainment device.
I read What Mobile for news like this and it has EDITED all to do with Sound & Vision!
Enough with all the mobie phone stuff that plagues WHF these days, please get back to core content and stop trying to be all things.
Or is this just SEO driven link bait?
