Ok so im buying it off Craigslist, I don't need to upgrade my plan or anything right? I can just insert 3g sim and it will work? And also the guy im buying it from says the power button is stuck so it doesn't work. Will that interfere with trying to install a custom rom?

Can pop in the SIM from your Cappy, no problem. Personally, I wouldn't buy it due to the power button issue, you will regret it somewhere down the line.

I agree you might regret the power button not working, but that being said I believe cm7 has a setting that allows you to use the volume rocker to wake the phone in place of the power button. Depending on how good a deal your getting it might be worth it.

You won't be able to turn on you're phone lol

Why would you buy a phone that you can't turn on? How is that a good deal?
And you need the power button to select items in recovery...

You could stick your 3G sim card in and it should work fine. I work for AT&T though and can tell you that you will not benefit though as far as download speeds go because you will be using a 3G sim card in a 4G capable phone. Just swing by an AT&T store and have them issue you a new 4G sim card. Its free and you'll benefit from it.

i wouldnt buy it...att 4g sim...r u kidding me..did u get paid to post that bs

This is exactly what you get from someone that works for ATT. My SIM is about 5-6 years old and I still get around 5M download, 1.5M upload. Matter of fact it is a 64K smartchip cingular SIM. Not even ATT.

Ok guys take it easy. He/she probably. Posted that as that is what they know. Most ATT employees don't do much research short of what they are taught in training

Only connecting to 2G

been using my phone for a few months now...but suddently this evening... I lost my 4g and only connects to my t-mobile via 2g. I try going to the settings....and when I select the WCDMA/GSM auto mode...I lose service (no bars)...but when I set to GSM only (2g), then I get good 2g signal....
Any thoughts?
I tried hard reset...nothing working

I have the same issue. True calling T-Mobile, they sent me a new sum card for free.

Maybe you went over your data cap and got throttled down to 2G?

I check my usage.. I'm only at 105mb...my cap is 2GB with 2g after the 2gb

Tmobile is most likely having network issues where u are. Try doing a battery pull and sim card pull. Wait 2 mins then put both back in. if that fails its a network issue.

Yeah, I had that happen when I first got the phone. It turned out to be something funky going on with my account on the corporate level. So that makes me think it's not the phone and you're due for a call with Big Magenta.

Just have the store put a sim card in and see if that clears up the problem.

its a good idea to just have an extra SIM in your desk in case you need to swap it out.

Update radios?
A sales rep at Tmobile told me something about updating the radios

Same Issue (No solution)
Hey guys im having the same issue as OP and just wanted to piggy back ride for this thread. I recently bought the mytouch 4g slide for a wopping $25 by the person that i am and rooting i quickly rooted the mytouch and installed cyanogenmod. To my dismay i only receive Edge network before and after rooting i was wondering is it the phone it self as in APN settings or is it just plan old phone ?

Maybe T-Mobile finally moved on from the 3G bands designed for that phone.
Unless you are not getting data at all, then you have some APN's to set. Or... some older CM (IIRC) didn't have 3G.

Face this issue with the HTC Glacier months back. They have removed the 3G & 4G basebands from their towers. The only way possible is by unlocking the other bands with the "Qualcomm band unlock" mod/hack here on XDA

Can't use direct carrier billing?

Hey guys,
I used to be able to bill my att account directly when I bought apps on my atrix, but ever since upgrading to the One X, I'm unable to do so anymore.
Calling tech support got me nowhere, they had no idea how to fix it.
Is anyone else having this issue? How'd you fix it?
Thanks!

Direct Carrier Billing
I was wondering if anyone who was previously unable to purchase apps with direct carrier billing are now able to and if they can share what they did. I have an AT&T HTC One X and I also don't see the ability to purchase apps with direct carrier billing. I have read in a few different forums that users with AT&T/Rogers version of the HTC One X are having similar problems but users of the international edition might not have the same problem.
I have carrier unlocked my phone and would really like to use the remaining $60 in my T-Mobile prepaid account to purchase apps instead of it going to waste, and direct carrier billing seems to be my only option. Thanks ahead of time.
---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
By going into App management and force-stopping Google Play and then uninstalling the updates, I was able to access the AT&T bill to carrier option when purchasing an app. I am still trying to get this to work with T-Mobile but I might need to switch plans or buy a day's access to mobile data for it to work.
Does anyone have any experience purchasing apps with carrier billing using a T-Mobile prepaid account?

Just tried that, carrier billing still doesn't show up for me, unfortunately.

I've called HTC, att, and posted here, nothing works.
Even before I rooted my phone, the option wasn't there.
There's no purchase block on my account either ...

When I called them, they said it was a device-specific feature and it wasn't supported on the HOX. Maybe they have a random answer generator!

This is utter horse ****.
My first One X was able to do direct billing (and I've confirmed this with a purchase of Titanium Backup Pro in my Google Wallet, which states: May 10
Titanium Track charged your AT&T Mobility USA *number deleted* for $6.58. "GOOGLE *Titanium Track" will appear on your billing statement.") Then my dog decided to knock my phone out of my hand, so I got a replacement.
My new One X will NOT let me bill att. This is some shifty, sideway, backwards, secret-handshaking BS.
I'm on 1.85 with GP version 3.7.13... I'm betting it has something to do with the 1.85 update.

Other carriers.....

I'm new to this phone and was wandering do I need to have it unlocked before using a straight talk sim....I have the att version of the one x btw.....with my note I just put the sim card in and did the apn settings and it worked right away with no unlock.....just wanted to know if the HTC one x works the same way since there both with att......thanks in advance for any help on this......

You've had an attitude in 2 of your 3 posts in this thread. This is a very new device with extremely limited supply currently.
The biggest problem you might run into is being able to change APNs as in stock AT&T guise they're not accessible. If it.pulls APNs from the network automatically, you should.have no problem.

Ha. I've found the One X community to be extremely noob-tolerant and overall less flamey than every other XDA device forum I've been on.
It seems you've been on here long enough to know to use the search function.
Searching "straight talk" in General yielded a bunch of mentions on the T-Mobile thread. Several people stated it should work. But it doesn't seem that anyone here has tried it, and confirmed it to work yet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=26890042

You need to get it carrier unlocked too.. search there are tons of threads that talk about where you can get it done.
Basically it is just a website that you pay like $7 enter your IMEI in and it spits out an unlock code then you can use the phone on non-ATT carriers. Until you do this you cannot use the phone on any carrier other than ATT.

It worked for me and I get hspa+ speeds.

[Q] Different Carrier??

So I found a HTC One X from AT&T on the side of the road the other day, surprisingly in great condition. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, have SuperCID, and have S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone here knew if it is possible to change this phone over in order to use on the Virgin Mobile network?

Don't be surprised if someone comes looking for it. Very simple matter to track these phones to their exact location.

Nope, Virgin uses Sprint network CDMA as opposed to GSM for ATT

When i lost my sensation I used Google play and maps combo to track it within 30'
If imei has been registered with Google it can be easily tracked even without a aim card as long as it gets WiFi signal. And the phone can easily be blacklisted as long as imei is known.
And on the point of using it on virgin mobile if they are at all like Verizon they will have a SIM but only for the 4g data. Like a sprint iPhone. Uses cmda for calls and the sim for data connection.

Finders keepers I assume. Lol when I left my hox at

Karma. If you take someone's property without even trying to return it, you deserve to have your property stolen or destroyed without a word of complaint.

I tried to return the phone....the phone was locked and I was unable to retrieve any numbers from it. There was a missed call on the lockscreen and I called that number but it had been disconnected. I put an ad on craigslist for a "FOUND LOST PHONE", I got a few replies but they were all looking for a different brand of phone.I have found atleast half a dozen phones in the last year and returned everyone of them. It's not like I just picked up the phone and immediately done a factory reset so I could start using it.
