4.2.2 For HTC One X

[Anonymous]

Following Perksie's advice from the other similarly titled thread that has been listed as solved by someone, thought I'd open a new thread, so any HTC One X users can report on any correspondence they have with O2 about the roll-out of 4.2.2 to the HOX.

The last major update (to 4.1.1) left a lot of users disillusioned with O2 after conflicting answers from a variety of sources. If anyone can tell me how to post a link to that thread for reference I will. I will also copy and paste my comment from the other ('solved') thread below.

Let's hope O2 get it right this time.

@Toby & @Chiara, can you help us at all....?

It's here!

Awaiting download, but like Chris I'll wait for my WiFi at home. Well done O2, ONLY 21 days after HTC released it!

Will download later and should it all go ok will list this post as solved tomorrow.

<P.s:   +1 Kudos to elthamlion for being the first to spot it!!!>

Downloading now! 

These updates are like buses you wait ages then 2 come along at once! 4.2.2 today and iOS7 tomorrow!

Better late than never, but O2 really could do with communicating the timing of these updates better to customers.

If I do a hard reset after the update, and then go thorugh the initial set up on the phone, as part of that will the HOX ask for my Gmail account and reinstate all my contacts and apps?

[Toby]

I'm really glad its arrived guys and sorry for the long wait!

How's the update looking?

Once you have installed the 4.2.2 update do another "Check of Updates" scan. There is an update to the update for the camera and Sense 5.

Not sure about the new keyboard yet. It may grow on me. Seems that Chrome is now part of the build...

Nice to have it, but still tainted by the delay.

Do we have a reason for wait?

Anyone else having problems with poor WiFi pick up?

[Anonymous]

yep seems to have lower pick up - even sat less than 2 metres from the router. also why ditch the task manager? always useful. battery efficiency doesn't seem much if any change. took phone off charge about 5.30 checked bbc news for 10mins and 2.5hrs later not having done ought else it's down 25% already, already have screen turned down and non useful stuff off.

one last gripe as not had proper look at it yet is the way stuff has been grouped in the app menu and the scroll up/down - before I knew where everything was but now have to stop and check. will have a good look tonight.

Got mine installed when I got home. I also noticed a secondary update after the main one for the camera and Sense, so remember to recheck.

Observations so far:

i) Where has the Task Manager gone?

ii) When I finally found my list of 'running' apps the memory meter at the top seems to indicate I have lost 0.4Gb ram: It used to say how many Mb was being used out of the 1Gb ram, but now says how many Mb is being used out of 0.96Gb ram - where has my ram gone (baaa!)

iii) Chrome has been downloaded for me - not sure i want/need it

iv) Where have the Developer Options gone?

v) I think others have mentioned this, but where has the tab gone to return to the homepage in the stock Android browser?

@rob_viking: My Wifi seems the same as at home. Will have to try it more extensively though. Did you see that you have the option to order the apps by alphabetically/custom/most recent? When you are at the top page of your apps list (where I also have the weather showing), if you drag downwards again the options to order the apps, a shortcut to the Play store and a search icon reveal themselves. Does this help?

I am impressed with the functionality of the new os, but as already mentioned, it's a shame it was a bit of a shambles with regards to actually getting it.
