Kind of obvious don't you think? What did you expect the One X to set off? The Y band?
On a more serious note I have no idea what is going on.

My in-dash Nav used to set off my X-band. I either had to disable X band on my detector (which actually was fine) or just setting the mode to "automatic" instead of city or highway and it would ignore it.
It doesn't matter now since most CA Highway patrol use Lidar now so my radar detector is useless (it detects lidar, but if you detect it then the police already have your speed).

Tunnels bounce around X-band like crazy, so any little thing putting off x-band in a tunnel would set off your detector.
Haha. Thanks for the responses. I was able to check it near my old radar detector. My HOX set it off too. In AR all the bears use K and Ka band.

Is GPS on your phone on?
Gps shouldn't have anything to do with it as it is just a receiver and does not broadcast anything.

I would think otherwise, it has to locate the GPS satellites.
So the phone is doing the work and not the satellites. They are only broadcasting their locations and the phone uses their locations to locate where you are.
This process probably could set off a radar detector. And I believe it does

Any receiver that uses a local oscillator "broadcasts" its local oscillator as well as various other spurious and harmonic signals. Not powerful but doesn't need to be if it's in close proximity to another receiver tuned to one of those spu's.

I just got my new AT&T HTC One X today.
I am having a weird problem where 90% of the time I can't make it through a speedtest without it stopping prematurely. It will start and then just stops in the middle of the test. When this happens all the data on the phone stops working and I am forced to restart the phone to get it working again.
When I use all other apps the data will work with no problem but when I fire up the speedtest app and try it run it, it just freezes and stops working. Then all the data on the phone stops working again until i restart the phone.
Is anyone else seeing this same problem when on an LTE connection and trying to do a speedtest with this phone?

I have been experiencing this as well, along with the wifi bug. I get a network connection error and the test stops. I also have been having trouble having the speedtest be able to find a server - it will take awhile trying to locate the closest server and then when it finally does, it usually isn't even close to me...
It just stops working for no apparent reason and the signal indicator fluctuates wildly. Amazingly the LTE signal is very strong and reliable, guess I'll be relying on that over wifi which just seems wrong.

I have a netgear, couple years old. Not sure what type though.
In the WiFi settings, under the menu, "WiFi Network Bands", select "2.4 GHz only". That improved the wifi quality significantly for me.

Has anyone tried to assign a specific DHCP lease to their phone with their router to see if this solves the problem? This is killing me, I have to have a phone with flawless wifi, I don't get great cell signal where I work so I need the wifi for texting (I use google voice) / chat / email. I guess I will know more tomorrow when I get home to get mine. I tried to talk my wife to brining it to me at work but no dice there.
I currently have a galaxy nexus which has very finicky wifi as well. I have found that it is more router related than anything else. With the apple airport extreme the connection has always been perfect, but I saw here this is not the case with this phone. Fingers Crossed.
AT&T broke the WIFI on purpose for the following reason
have you use LTE.
Charge your for going over data cap
Profit?

Seems to have done the trick for me!!
From a purely RF point of view, 2.4GHz has better range than 5GHz due to being able to go through walls better. If other devices don't have issues connecting over 5Ghz from the same location, then the issue may be the WiFi antenna design and/or the case material which makes it difficult for higher frequencies to get through. This is most likely the case if by approaching the router you are able to connect over 5 GHz.

This would be fine but I have issues when connected to 2.4ghz when 5ghz is enabled. After I turned off 5ghz its stable so this is not a signal issue, this is some type of driver or kernel issue.

I believe your correct, hopefully HTC will adress it.In the mean time at least it's a bit more stable so far switching to 2.4
Switching your ip to static also works! lets you keep the frequencies on auto. Good for your home wifi. For other locations i guess set it back to 2.4ghz. Hopefully HTC addresses this sometime soon.

another vote for Waze. It's like stock navigation made better by other users. If you're even a remotely risky driver, Waze will alert you of cops, road hazards, and better-than-default routes during inclement weather, traffic, or whathaveyou.
I'll say Waze too. Been using it since my HTC Fuze.
I recommend SYGIC, it was useful for me when i didnt have data plan on my phone

Hello Everyone. I have an att one X that is having an odd wifi issue. I've googled and only found the hardware wifi issue and im pretty sure that's not what i have. I actually got this phone on a trade for a one s, when i recieved the X it alrealdy had the venom rom installed. so at first i thought that it was just maybe a bad rom flash because i looked at the rom build and it was one of the earlier versions, but i flashed cm10 and the issue is still there. The issue with my wifi is that it doesn't connect to anything even if im right next to the router. it doesn't seem to find the router and it'll constantly pickup random wifi signals and not the one i want, but regardless it will never connect. all of the info i've seen out there about the hardware problem says its a week signal problem with both wifi and Bluetooth but it'll still connect. my bluetooth also seems to be working fine. I'm on the new firmware i believe because i have to flash the boot image through fastboot in order to get a rom to load. Can it be the Kernal? i've been reading on this so such for the last two days that i think i read that the kernal must also me flashed in a different way, not straight through the recovery.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try and post a quick video on this issue later on
Bro.. Mr sinco and I have been fighting this issue with aosp ROMs for the last 6-8 weeks.... We've brought it up and seems to be pushed aside.. it started making me mad enough to where I'm back on sense ROMs. (Not that there's anything bad about them, I rather aosp)

On the router. DMZ is a security subnetwork to help keep internet "things" out of your router. WPS is also on the router and helps people who have trouble connecting devices to their router to be able to just hit a button to connect. Turn them both off in the router settings.

i realize my post was far from informative...yes my issue is it not conecting as well. will try, but if you watch it, it stops and just sits at "secured, not in range" or wtf ever. After you put the password in, turn the screen off and let it sleep for a minute, i bet when you turn the screen on itll be connected (its been my only solution so far)
Well PLUKK thanks for all of the feedback. My issue is experiencing it's own unique characteristics and issues I haven't seen, but also includes some of yours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test on any open unsecured network yet. But the thing with my phone is that it will literally be right next to the router and it sometimes won't show the router in my list of available networks but it'll show others. And all of them are secured. I've tried this at my home and my girlfriends home and here at the school I work at. I work at college so WIFi is everywhere and I've never had problems connecting before, but the issue is that it doesn't even show up on the available networks sometimes it it'll show a network I've never seen. I'll try and post a video about this issue a little later. As I know I'm probably Not getting my point across very well.

Every router is different and each one has security set up different. That's why some you see and some you don't. It is the phones ROM causing issue BUT it can be solved by adjusting settings. Since you can't do that if the router is not yours then you can
A. Wait for a fix
B. Use a sense ROM
C. Turn off WiFi

I smashed the screen on my HTC One XL and am in the process of replacing it. The new screen is installed, all the connectors are inserted correctly, but I haven't put the backplate back on yet.
I know that the screen is working fine, as I can turn the phone on and use the touchscreen. The wifi is also connecting nicely. However, the phone doesn't connect to the phone network and has a 'No Service' error message. It recognises the SIM card, so that's not the problem.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?
