Losing ability to call or text - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Every once in a while my phone will randomly stop calling (both ways) and sending or receiving texts. It still says I have service. Only way to fix it is reboot.
Anybody else experiencing this?

You would be around the 7th person I've seen mention this (myself included). I swapped it out for another HOX and haven't had an issue since.

I had this happen to me but I figured it was because I was indoors. My signal on all my devices is weak indoors (in my home) so I wasn't sure what to think. So far I only seen it happen one day. Then again, I only had the phone a couple days. lol

[Q] Dropping Data Signal

I seem to have pretty regular lapses in data connectivity where everything (web browsing, streaming audio, etc.) will just stop, despite continued activity on the status bar icon.
I typically have to either cycle the mobile data on/off or airplane on/off to fix and sometimes have to reboot.
Is this a known issue that should be fixed when AT&T pushes out an OTA update or is my device bad and I should send it to HTC for investigation?
When I'm connected, it's strong and solid - but when it drops, it just flat drops.
There was an ota today check for update, should have been fixed.

I've been on 1.85 for weeks since it leaked. My data drops have not fixed. I also have to toggle airplane mode, sometimes, to regain. I'm trying to live with it, only happens to me when I literally am in such a bad reception area that the signal shows an x

It's ridiculous HTC would release a phone with this huge of a known flaw. You'd think they would be working around the clock to get a patch out ASAP

Tell me bout it

Yeah, I'm on my third phone, last two did exactly that and I'm hoping that this one doesn't... I just need to go to a place where it always did it to test. I've emailed HTC and asked them to mention the issue to the development team and I got a call from them asking about it, told them I swapped my phone and will let them know if it happens on this one too.

HOX Volume issues

I have noticed that my volume has been dropping every once and while... this is a new issue so I am not sure why... my phone is completely stock... should I warranty it out?
If everything is stock then yeah, try looking into the warranty.
Iam having the same problem with mine ever since I updated mine. It seems like out of know where the volume will just drop for my ringer and the messaging tone. The only thing I can do to get it back to normal is to restart my phone. This actually happens a couple times a day.
Help Please!

I emailed HTC phone repair department but no response as of yet. Since my One X is over its 30 days with At&t I guess this is my only option.

Well after several emails between HTC warranty and being on the phone with them, they would not send me a new One X due to the problems with the volume and text message sizes being software issues. So I figuered I would give ole At&t a try and after being on the phone for about 1 1/2 I got them to send me a replacement One X. I got it and so for so good. I'm not having any of the problems I was before. As I said above the HTC person (DANTY) did happen to say they are working on another release for the text message size always getting getting smaller & also the volume problem. Who knows maybe Gellybean??

Well the new One X has the same problems as the old. The volume goes really low were you can't hear it and the text size get small as previous unit.

I've been having the same issue with the volume on my One X. Hoping a software update will fix this problem.

I started a thread for the same problem. Obviously if we all are having problems with the volume, it must be a software issue. I did not want to take a chance of a replacement and have more issues other than volume. I will wait and see. In the mean time a restart fixes it..

read the article.. and try to press behind the phone and check if strength varies....
it does.. claim warranty .. get a new one ..
hmm interesting, thanks
I don't receomend this if you don't know what you're doing. But I took the phone case off and re-bent/aligned the contacts for the wifi using a pair of needle nose pliers. They're copper contacts so easy to bend back but also easy to break as well. In the end my wifi was better.

Try the telus radio, seems to have fixed my WiFi problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
which one is telus radio? and would it work normally with my at&t network?
HTC knows about this issue, software can help but won't fix it entirely. HTC claims they are working to fix it for future production. I guess just wait until they fix the physical problem and then claim warranty, you have at least 10 mos left. They owned up to it recently so if you complain they will probably keep you happy.

SMS issues

So. I'm still new to the phone, about 3 weeks now. Everything is great but my texting issues.
The first week was fine, than all the sudden every text I send is market as pending. So I can't tell if a text sends or but. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, I have no idea.
Though with this issue, I restarted my phone yesterday I realized my phone sent 4 people texts that I sent a week ago, just sent after I restarted.
What's the deal? How do I fix it?

I can tell you how i fixed my issue when something similar was happening to me. I had this issue on my previous phone as well so i figured after getting this phone and it continued it had to be something to do with my account setup. Some kind of glitch. So after getting fed up with Tech support I had my network account manager have all my features and account removed, then added back on like it was a new account. Then I did a factory reset and woila! My network signal is stronger than ever. Texts send instantly! Faster than I have ever seen them send! lol.

Missing calls and texts

Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?

1. Belongs in Q&A
2. Are you rooted?
3. If so, What ROM, kernel?
4. Did you do a clean flash or you didn't wipe?
5. Check if you have signal it could be just dead areas you're in.
6. If stock, it's probably due to bad signal.

Sorry thought I did post it there.
I'm rooted, Rohans B5 kernel, clean flash to King Kang. This has been happening for awhile before this ROM. I'm on WiFi and the signal bar is full

Fyi, I had the same problem and had to go get a new sim card and have them re-register my phone on the network.

You don't have to unroot or relock it I had a problem with LTE and was fixed getting a new SIM card. They saw that my phone was rooted. So don't do that.

I was having the same issue with calls and voicemails. I called AT&T and they did a reset on their end which did involve reboot on my end but it didn't have any other impact as far as data and root and they then tested the response on the phone and it had improved significantly. This was right around the time Sandy hit.

So called att and they reset my connection and put in a ticket.

i had this exact problem.
att first reset my sim card or something via phone support. nothing.
they then replaced my phone with a new one x. nothing.
reset my sim. nothing.
replaced my sim. nothing.
at that point i guess i was SOL. it wasnt happening all the time, but it was happening occasionally, so i just bared with it.
i dont know when i noticed it stop happening and fix itself, but it wasnt till after i achieved root and flashed a different rom that i noticed it gone completely.
i do live in an area that has poor reception for most carriers, yet down the street reception is perfectly fine.
i would miss calls, and not receive missed call notifications. i did not receive texts at times, and wouldnt notice till i was flooded by a few text messages all at once with time stamps corresponding to past few hours. sometimes me using an app on wifi/data would trigger all my text messages to come in at once.
now, i know it wasnt necessarily an issue of reception or service, because during some of those "blackout" periods that i happened to catch, i did have service and would be using my phone for miscellaneous things, then get flooded by texts and email notifications later
hope this helps in some way

So I've had the same problem with mine...it will show full service but I won't be able to send out texts or calls and I won't be able to receive any either. They replaced my sim but still had the same problems. Is the only way to fix this by flashing a different rom?
