Just got a branded HTC OneX (O2 network) last week and it is giving me serious headache. I got an Etisalat line for it, and enjoyed it for like four days. after then service has not been stable on it. Took it to Etisalat service centre and the guy there told me that its a common problem with 4g fones and nothing can be done abt it until they (etisalat) upgrade to 4g platform or so. Took it to Airtel and MTN,same result. Dont Know if anybody ere can help with it.

Though I don't have 4G phone, but I think 4G phones should be backward compatible with 3G networks.

What signals does it presently receive? I use a 4G and T-mobile branded tablet and receive 3.5G signals from all the network GSM providers. It's possible you have to modify the connection settings or confirm if the device was properly unlocked to receive non O2 network signals.

Thanks

Thats the problem with buying branded fones.........flash the ROM and install an unbranded stock ROM .....better still a custom ROM.....on the fone.

Hmmmm........is flashing HTC One X fones now possible??

Thanks for ur advice. Don't knw how 2 do the modification. I didn't unlock the fone.started usin it immediateli i got it and it worked well for like 4 days. Like u suggested, it could be that i nid 2 unlock it.do u knw anibodi who can help?

Check the setting and select EDGE and 3G, Airtel presently have 3.75G which is the highest around.

Check the network settings if it's okay then the done needs to be fully unlocked
I know of a way of unlocking HTC one X fones.... Can Help You out if you are in lagos
Cheers

I was using HTC Evo 4G and had no issue with the network so I sold it off later and bought HTC One X unbranded from US,so far so good as my airtel is amazing with the One X.
Just go to setting,select wireless and network then from network choose 3G,that will do the magic.

You have the best phone in the world,don't swap it for anything not even galaxy S3 bro

Since it worked for four days when you first use it then its already unlocked
go to Mobile Network -> Network Mode and click GSM Only.
That will switch the network away from 4G as you don't have 4G coverage in your area, do that and let me know the result.

the only way to be truly free with a branded android is to root and install a custom ROM

any work around you try without those two will only prolong the evil days

@ walcom
