My primary concern is tethering, speaker and signal quality.
I realize there is always a batch of folks with issues on any new phone.
But there is a very common theme on the issues listed above.
So I have a few questions regarding before I grab one.
1) Does the "Sticky" Temp Root require a PC to enable it each time. It was not clear if teh PC is only need the first time or every time. If I need to be wired to enable temp root for tethering, I might as well use wired tethering. See question #2. For the rare cases I tether I could probably live with USB wired.
2) Does the USB (wired tethering) require any root? How do you do it, I'd like to confirm with my 4G.
3) I hear a LOT of complaints about the speaker. And LOT of work arounds (that seems 50-50) that folks think it helped. I did compare the ringers in teh store on a 3D with my 4G and they sounded about the same. So I'm curious if there is a batch of defective speakers. It only needs to work 90% as good for navigation. I don't care about Music or Movies.
4) There is a good thread on reseting data which sounds promising regarding signal quality. Likely caused by many phones defaulting to CDMA only. Is it just a DATA quality issue or is there also a call quality issues.
5) Not critical, but I did compare the 3D and 4G camera too and it appears much lower quality for standard 2D.
My gut feeling is I'm crazy to want this phone. But I have the bug to have the latest even if it has a couple issues.
Also if you remove some bloatware with Temp Root. Does the Bloatware come back on reboot?
Bloatware can be removed without root. Simply delete it n it is gone.

You can remove some of the carrier specific pre-installed apps, just as well as you can remove any app from any computing device. Data may still physically reside in sectors and blocks of storage, the space is allocated for your use.
What you cannot remove (as easily) is device mfr apps. e.g. HTC Footprints.
Thanks fir clarifying, nate. Must have been wishful thinking, I guess.

The sticky temp root remains rooted for wifi hotspot action up until you reboot. At that point you will need your pc to reroot.
I don't have speaker issue.
I have noticed slight degrade in call quality. On launch day, call quality and data was terrible throughout San Marcos TX. So far it's gotten better and the data is back to normal speeds. Call quality could be a little better IMO but it's so close to normal it's a non-issue for me.
I think this thing takes better photos than the 4g. The focus and color seems much better.
OC'd to 1.8 ghz this thing is the fastest mobile experience i've ever had.

Thanks for the answers. But if I understand correctly you need to get back to a PC hardwire connection to get Temp root back if you have to reboot.
But it appears there is an APK coming that will allow Temp root without the PC.
One concern I have is, without full root, HTC could force an OTA update and take even temp root away.
I did confirm wired USB Tether works on 4G with no Root (with PDANet).

Not every phone has the issues you stated above.
You do need a pc to reroot after reboot but it takes like 2 minutes tops.
Why use wired tethering. The wireless tether app works fine. You can find that apk in xda. It's posted everywhere. Once you get the app and temp root, just fire up 4g and enjoy data sharing.
You can remove bloatware but to me its sometimes pointless because you never know when your phone may die out on you. When it does everything goes back to normal so that would be left to you to decide what's best. If it helps, it does free up a decent amount of internal memory.
The camera on the 3D is very good. On the 4g its was good also. 8 mega pixels made the pics look kinda grainy also making the pics IMO look HD'ish. Even though I don't see this on the 3D I still wouldn't call it a downgrade.
Developers here on xda have found a way to keep a good number of us satisfied until a more permanent method for root comes along. As stated above, I have my phone overclocked to 1.8 ghz and man I swear my phone drinks red bull without me knowing. It has wings! The good thing about it is, its all done with one click off the mouse. If you decide to grab the 3vo, here's the thread you should check out immediately.

If I am "Late to the party" or you want to post the funny fail pictures, that is fine! I just felt this was worth posting. I did not know about it and I am sure others may not as well.
Basically the link talks about using a program called PDAnet Tablet edition. I was familiar with PDAnet but not a wifi version!
We need to stay way under the radar with this, guys.
I'm sure their not crazy about HTC unlocking the bootloader because of this.
Sprint is cracking down....monitoring data use and even sites visited.
Abuse here could be a big factor if Sprint throws up their hands and decides to cap data...which would S U C K.
I've had Bluetooth tether via PDAnet since my Treo 650 many years ago. Maybe I'm the only one but on all the phones I've had since then, I have ALWAYS found Bluetooth tether to be very tricky to set up, cumbersome and unreliable compared to the WiFi tether I FINALLY have on the EVO 4G. I presume the same would apply to the 3D. This is the main reason I haven't made the 4G --> 3D upgrade yet. So for me personally the Bluetooth tether option isn't that grand.
Hijack: does anyone else find it confusing that the 3D phone is newer than the 4G? I have to keep reminding myself...

It's the people who want to download blu ray movies through their phones connection and large files that bog down the network that Sprint doesn't like. You use 30GB+ a month or more and you are certainly going to have some kind of attention. I only use around 4GB and that was with root access on my previous phone. Though I didn't have 4g to tether from on my Epic. I would have much rather used my home network. Saving money is great, but it really affects others so negatively that Sprint may take action at some point if people don't start thinking more about the greater good than their must have for the newest MKV movie from btjunkie. Though I could be wrong.
True this...exactly. regardless...we're still circumventing their hotspot service. Knowing how much my AT&T friends are truly shackled by the cap...I'd consider paying sprint for tethering again!

Useing pdanet tablet now....from evo 3d to rooted gtablet runing cm7....a little slow but does work for browsing...does not work for pandora will check netflix and dishnetwork and get back.....ok does not work with anything but browsing.....cant wait for root....
Pretty much what the title says....details:
I ditched my horrible AT&Trash dsl to tether via my TB (faster speeds and saving $20/mo). Problem is, I recently moved and I have to have my phone right next to the window to get solid and consistent LTE signal, so every time I get a text or something I have to get up to go look at it, cause if I move my phone it'll drop to 3G (that's another issue....whenever it hands off from 4G to 3G I almost ALWAYS have to go into Airplane mode then back out or reboot for my TB to acquire 4G signal again...anyone know a quicker way? I have latest radios....) then my tethering all my but dies and I have to start the whole process over.
I am wondering if there is a way or maybe an app I can get where I can control my phone via my PC wirelessly while tethering.......from what I've read you either have to be connected via usb (window is too far away for that) and/or your pc and phone have to be connected to the same wifi network (which, if I'm tethering and my pc is connected to the internet via tethering to my phone, that isn't really true...is it?)
So.....any ideas?
Thanks much!
This may be of some help for texting. I use bluetooth for calls. I almost have the same situation.
Check out this Android Application I'm using "DesktopSMS" on my Thunderbolt. Check it out here: http://bit.ly/qApcgj
I had the same issue, my solution was rather eloquent I bought a tablet so that, while my phone is in my window, I can get my texts on my new happy Motorola Xoom. Not sure if its possible for ya BUT it is well worth the investment. Also, are you PAYING for your tethering?

"paying".....is a foreign word to me
So why are signal bars showing when i'm on WiFi with data and 4g off? Shouldn't the radio be off? And isn't that further draining the battery?
So this topic has expanded as noted below but the solution kills BT. Kinda sucks when doing things locally and no connection is needed.
Sorry, misread

Ahhh...yeah, i'd just hit airplane mode then. And I can actually turn airplane mode on then wifi mode, but that is a pain, especially since they failed to put airplane mode on the quick toggles. That is odd in itself. So I have to do the power press, turn on airplane mode then do the quick toggle and turn on wifi. Kind of a dumb workaround when quick toggling mobile data should suffice. I guess they assume you're doing the phone thing with texting so the tablet is treated more like a phone. Annoying, but I guess I solved my own problem. Airplane mode on then wifi on does the trick. Now if they'll add airplane mode to the quick toggle, it'll be a nicer setup.

i dont seem to be able to enable BT in airplane mode, anyone else?
When you turn data off, you do just that, turn off data handling for internet and email. This is a facility for people without unlimited data plans to save cash.
The phone radio is always on for SMS and MMS handling.
I know. I mentioned it in my 2nd post. The problem is some of us could care less about texting on a tablet and are more concerned with battery life. So if we're on wifi, we can go to airplane mode and turn wifi on. But apparently if you're on a plane and want to use your BT headset, you're screwed unless you turn off airplane mode and watch your battery drop like a stone.
Not everyone wants to use their connected tablet as half a phone.

Then why did you buy a 4G unit (its a phone without voice!) and not a WiFi only unit?
All Android and iPaidalot tablets are just phone hardware with large screens...non of them let you fully turn off the cell radio unless in flight mode which turns off every RF transmission. BT is also a no-no when in flight on most airlines if you check...
I'd recommend using LTE OnOff from the Android Market.
While intended for the Thunderbolt, it's more or less just a shortcut to a menu of radio controls that already exists on your device. There's a "turn radio off" button near the bottom.

I guess you confuse easily. The easy answer is to not have to rely on wifi. Plus the View replaces my MiFi. If I'm going to carry a small tablet and a mifi, why not get the view?
This isn't sold in the phone section...
And the bluetooth issue is just a bonehead move. So you can't fly and use BT headphones. Or play onboard music or video with BT anything and conserve the battery.

LTE OnOff will work regarless of device type. The fact that it has LTE in the name is irrelevant.

If they can do Pogo I doubt BT is an issue. Regardless, turning off unused radios conserves the battery period and the only reason to have the cell radio on while on wifi is texting. Hopefully the LTE Toggle helps. I'll give it a shot next time I'm streaming sports talk or pandora on wifi.

No need to be insulting...
No, I don't confuse easily as I read the spec carefully and understand the limitations of the device I am buying (this is a mobile based tablet, not a PC!) and don't cry like a baby when on failing something I did not research!
Hope you get the help you need, if you don't, I'm sure you can start a class action....
Usually when people make a statement and do the confused thing, they're usually being a bit snide. And based off of your response below, I was probably right. I'm sure if you took a poll of people buying tablets with data service, it would be a minute percentage that use it for texting since the vast majority of users are probably texting on their phones. I'm sorry you don't understand why people would want an always connected device.
And reading specs and understanding limitations? What a joke in regards to the ability to turn off a radio.
Sorry, much more content now about being insulting in that first post. Thank you for reinforcing my first sentence.

Keep it civil kids, the personal comments have no place here. Keep it up and you can expect infractions and/or bans.
The facts of the matter are as follows.
1. The behavio(u)r you're observing is correct, as per spec and design.
2. The radio should be on, with an established bearer whether data is on or off, this is not what the data on/off is about. Data on/off as indicated above is to initiate/terminate data sessions.
3. Yes you do save battery by turning off unused radios, but that defeats the always on nature of the device.
4. Bluetooth has not been certified for airborne use by any major aviation authority.
5. Wifi has been or is in the process of being certified in many aviation jurisdictions, hence wifi is possible in flight mode, bluetooth is not but the default is to turn everything off first and you have to explicitly turn on Wifi.
3. Wifi is "on". And no offense, but being always connected should be an option the user gets to control.
4. Just one instance. Again, the user should have control over what he wants "on" on "his/her" device. flying was just used as an exampled.
Bottom line is, cellular connectivity should not be "mandatory" in anything but airplane mode if it is not needed. It really makes no sense, nor does your justification of it being an "always on device". It's a "when I want it to be" device. I'm paying the $50 per month, not the other way around. And it is still a tablet first. It shouldn't be crippled because it has a cellular radio in it.
And again, wifi is part of being on so the option to turn off the celluar radio should be built in, not some workaround one needs to download. A

What truthfully makes me laugh about the OP's lack of understanding about this whole thread is, in his pursuit of saying what users should have (and no one else has a problem) is that most BT headphones have limited battery life themselves. I have BH-905's, DR-BT21G's and Jabra BT3030's and not one of these units batteries, outlive the Flyers battery, playing music (note: my cell radio is on all the time....) Video watching with BT is downright un-cool with inherent lag (on all tab's!) so the cable comes out for the noise cancelling BH905's on planes...
My car does not make coffee, and I will never expect it to!
Shame you obviously failed to read through the thread. Then you would've realized that BT was not my issue, but someone else's, and I was just trying to point it out and help. My only concern was shutting off the cell radio while on wifi. And I figured it out and posted it rather quick.
Bottom line is there should be an easy way to ditch the cell connection when its only function is for texting. It shouldn't come at the expense of BT and using airplane mode.
And even though it's not my issue I would have times at the gym when I'm on wifi, cell reception stinks, and I wouldn't mind using BT headphones to stream pandora or slacker.
What's even funnier is the same people that love rooting, romming and having complete control over their phones find issue with having the ability to turn a cell radio off when it's not needed aand part of it under the guise that the device is meant to be "always on", like it's a requirement of the device, not an option.
And the coffee/car analogy doesn't make sense in any way, shape or form. Like I can't watch tv on my microwave and I don't expect too.

Sent from my Nexus One
Alright, so I recently decided to upgrade my AT&T HTC ONE X+'s firmware to the latest 1.19.502.1 update. Ever since I got this phone, I've never really been 100% happy with it, so as soon as I saw an official update being rolled out I jumped at the chance! I re-flashed the original recovery, re-locked the bootloader and ran the HTC RUU pc executable, effectively putting my phone in a 100% stock state and fully updated.
So far I can say that the phone experiences less general app crashes than before. The Bluetooth Call audio quality issue is 100% fixed. It would also seem like the Google contacts syncing issue is gone too. AT&T Address Book app now works (I don't like it, I don't actively use it, but at least now it's a functioning app). And Power management & Battery life seemed to have improved ever so slightly.
On the other hand, the phone does seem a bit slower (apps take longer to load, some phone functions take a little bit longer to react, stuff like that). The distorted streaming via Bluetooth (A2DP) bug (not the same issue as the call audio) is still un-addressed. I've always experienced random Bluetooth connection interruptions, and with the update this hasn't changed. Another thing I was hopeful they would fix with the update and they didn't is the Automatic Time Zone option in the Date & Time settings menu (It will often not recognize my time zone - GMT -4:00 - forcing me to set it manually... no big deal, but still a bug none the less). There were no GUI/UI changes or improvements whatsoever. Also, I like to use Nova Launcher Prime, and for whatever reason I've found myself pressing the "back" button to exit some apps and it would return me to the Sense home instead of the Nova Launcher home (which is set as my default launcher). That last one is no big deal, but thought I should mention it just in case.
What about you guys? What has been your experience with it? Did you update OTA or through the RUU? Share your experiences here!
the only thing i needed from the update was fixing BT A2DP audio. Like you said, it is still broken. Highly disappointed. Hopefully a ROM will fix it soon.
The update broke a bunch of apps for me. Chrome, Google Search, and Google Drive no longer work, they crash on startup.
Other people have similar complaints, here: forums.att.com/t5/Android-Discussion-and-Support/HTC-One-X-update/td-p/3469653
This is a stock phone. So far the phone is pretty unusable without those apps.
Really annoying. AT&T hasn't said anything about it yet. Maybe I should contact HTC directly?

You can try to contact HTC directly, but from what I've read around in the forums, they aren't much help. Allow me to suggest you try running the RUU on your phone (you can download it from http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=529&p_name=htc-one-x-plus-att ). It'll fully wipe it, so make a backup of all your important stuff (contacts if they aren't cloud synced, pictures, Angry Birds scores, etc) and then run the RUU. After the initial setup, re-download/install all your main apps and see how that goes. If you do get to do this, please post here if there was a difference in your phone's behavior. (Hope that helps)
I really honestly haven't had any issues with my phone since the OTA update... I still lag on playing a simple 2D game Drag Racing" but runs butter smooth when playing 3D games.. WTH?.. Really annoying to me... but then again, it lags even when I'm using my Nexus 7, yet runs lag-free and smooth on my Pantech Burst? Explain that one.. lol..
But all in all I've noticed a lot of small enhancements with the update. Now if they can just fix the game play of Drag Racing app.. lol..
I haven't noticed anything significant either way. If I didn't do the update myself, I don't think I would know there had been one. I do have to say that I never experienced problems playing music over BT, and I use it in my car, at home, and with BT earbuds. Maybe it's because I'm using PowerAmp.

The problem is still there with poweramp. It is a bitpool setting for connection between the phone and BT speaker devices. Some people just don't hear it even though it is there. I have a few friends who are now on JB thanks to recent updates and they have the same issues but they don't seem to hear it. I can hear it plainly though. One of them I could get to hear it but he doesn't care and thinks it sounds good enough for him.

Disappointing feedback. I work from home and have a Plantronics Savi 700 series headset. My HOX+ is connected to the Savi via Bluetooth, and if I make/receive a call on my HOX+ the call skips/distorts for the first 5 seconds or so before stabilising. Is that a known issue?
EDIT: to clarify, I am not using the headset when making/receiving the call in my example.. it's merely just connected via Bluetooth at the time I use my cell phone.

That hasn't been my experience receiving calls (although making them, the first ring does sound louder and coarser than the rest) but there have been some posts here on the forum from people describing a similar issue (since way before the update). Apparently it's either an inconsistent issue, a bug that only affected a few handsets, or an accessory hardware specific issue (eg. compatibility issue with specific bluetooth devices).

the only thing i needed from the update was fixing BT A2DP audio. Like you said, it is still broken. Highly disappointed. Hopefully a ROM will fix it soon.

When u say BT audio A2DP that to ke means audio controls over BT. Well this has always worked from the start for me on stock and now custom roms. Now if I use a "wired" headset then no, audio controls do not work. All I can do is deal with phone calls and play/pause music. Cannot turn volume up or down or change tracks while using a wired headset. This from my understanding is a "hardware" issue. Now as far as actual BT is concerned, every aspect has worked perfect for me since Steve007 has fixed it for us. Also it has been claimed the new ATT update fixes this BT audio quality issue to an even higher degree than what Steve did so ultimate BT fix now on new ATT update.
So what is the BT audio problem now still not working?

What you're referring to are Media and Call control over bluetooth (First part of your statement) and Bluetooth Call Audio specifically (second part of your statement. This is what Steve007's fix addresses and the new update fixes). The bug badtlc and I mentioned is specifically when streaming Music or Video Audio through bluetooth (basically any type or audio that isn't phone call related). The audio streams just fine, but with a nasty distortion in the high frequencies. Many people just don't seem to mind the distorted sound because they just don't seem to identify it. If you compare the Bluetooth audio quality vs the direct audio quality (like with an Aux cable) you will hear a noticeable difference.
bluetooth volume level issue after upgrade
I've been having the issue of too low volume on bluetooth calls in my car since the upgrade to 1.19.502.1 I used the RUU from HTC site to do the upgrade and reinstalled everything. I have to literally turn up the bluetooth volume all the way up in my car and the people on the other end complain that I'm not loud enough. Did anyone else notice anything like this?
The first time I did the OTA on a stock, locked, not rooted HOX+ I noticed some improvments, I'm not really sure might have been placebo effect, but it did break my Wi-Fi. It would stay stuck on "Turning on Wi-Fi" the slider would be slid to the on side, but say off and be grey and unaccessable. Well I had to get it replaced under warranty, the headset speaker was dead too but that happened before the update, and it came with 1.15 and I want to know how common of a problem my experience was I know of at least a couple people who have had the same thing and I'm not sure I want to try the update again on this one and have to go through replacing it again.
i dont see any updated
i am using ATT HTC onex+ on pay as you go service, my phone never saw any updates, tried to change date as many have suggested, tried *#*#checkin#*#*, tried to look up for update manually from settings, but none seem to work, my phone is in stock condition with no root/unlock etc.
any ideas?

The official updates from HTC never wipe anything from the device. They just UpDate the OS. There might brake an app and very rarely, but that's just when changing the SW version, due to app incompatibility with the new OS vers. That's just my experience with HTC over the last few years and the last few devices.
Best of luck.

So, I'm moving. And my PC doesn't have a WiFi card in it for the time being. Ethernet is out of the question.
I have an unlimited Verizon 4g plan... but I heard they don't let you tether for free anymore over their network with unlimited. (I can use WiFi root tether, but that's beside the point.)
I've tried using the Settings => Usb Tethering option, but stock sense doesn't let you tether without a 4g connection enabled.
Any ideas? (Preferably something without dumb limitations, like no https etc, but beggars can't be choosers.)
Thanks!

I use fox fi and with the pdanet application on the pc you can fake your image hiding your tethering, doing it the way the guy above states does not work on stock anymore normally and would certainty show your usage. on pdanet just use stage two usage hiding uh is hard to explain and I'm on my phone I'll update my post in like 10 minutes showing what I mean with pictures on my pc K.

Thanks mate. I didn't know PDA used my phones WiFi. Thought it only worked with 3g.
Doesn't the program not let you use https and stuff?

on PDANET atm with LEVEL II usage hiding and i was able to get into things like paypal with https and what not. So i think it would be fine, i don't have unlimited anymore so i use no hiding but i turned it on to see if it works and it seemed to. Im posting this with it on level II.

Definitely works and will do the trick for now. Thanks man.
The free version kind of blows... I go through the allotted data in like a minute.
Do you notice pretty low speeds, or connection drops when the phone goes to sleep? Do you know if I need to keep it always screen on or something? Or is this the level 2 screening?
Wish there was a way to do this natively without having to do all this, but will work in a pinch. Thanks!
it works by using a advanced proxy type thing( its complicated) but i notice no difference with it on level 2 and none and witht he phone off i do have a fox fi key though since i use it for work a lot. with the free version i did notice it was slower but i had that version so long ago they had it where it was unlimited but only 180KB/s so it was slow regardless, this was a OG droid so long time ago. its still cheaper than getting hard line lol and an one time only payment, i used to have issues on windows 8 but their newest pdanet client for desktop fixed those. i get around 20mbps in the field generally when working.
hope this helps explain some things.

Thanks bud, yeah it helps. I'll probably end up buying it eventually... WiFi Tether [Root] works fine for WiFi, but for some reason FoxFi scares me. I feel verizon will strip my unlimited away from me while using FoxFi. Not sure why I feel safer using the WiFi root tether app though.
they should be able to tell your tethering with a normal non proxied app. In reality though they can allways tell if they cared but unless your use more than like 6 GB idk they would care if your plan is expensive enough lol.
Yeah, I wish there was another way than pdanet to do it. Wish there was a way to tell if the speeds are just my phone or the free pdanet version.
how low are the speeds on speedtest.net on pc vs on the app on the phone, mine are almost same.
I was.... "Testing" the download speeds through pdanet. Its about 1000Kbs slower through pdanet.
