Since its first appearance at the Mobile World Congress back in February, and release onto public sale on April 5th, the HTC One X has impressed us with its high-end spec and new wave Android operating software, version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, this exciting addition to the Taiwanese manufacturer’s assault on the west is only now showing an increasingly noticeable flaw pertaining to the gadget’s ability to connect to Wi-Fi networks.
Internet on the move and at public hotspots is one of the key points of sale when it comes to smartphones, and HTC’s One X is more than capable of handling heavyweight downloads and providing content quickly with its super-speedy 1.5GHz quad-core processor. But it’s the connection itself that seems to be troubling a number of users who are now reporting the fault in droves, venting their frustrations on web communities such as the XDA Developers forum.
One member reports that the problem affecting the accessibility of wireless internet also has a roll on affect to Bluetooth, GPS and the device’s battery but this can be slightly improved by gripping the One X handset more tightly. But of course this isn’t a standard method to improve your phone’s performance and more a hardware mishap. Another member of the forum suggests these problems can be solved by breaking the handset open and soldering a specific area, this not advised for a mere novice and really not something we’d like to be doing – or should expect to be doing – with a near new smartphone.
HTC is yet to comment on these complaints with the highly-applauded One X but owners experiencing the fault should be in their rights to return their gadget for a fix or replacement. We await further updates and will deliver the latest updates to our readers here on the blog.
