Where's JellyBean???

Don't think mine is any battery issue as nearly through the test now and am still well above the 85% which is the minimum you should be on.
 
87% after battery test. Can only put it down to bad signal as that appears to have deteriorated in the last 2 days. Putting it down to the shoddy weather.
 
It ran for an hour with a countdown timer showing start percentage and current percentage. When it finished it just showed a green pass button, with an overlaying test ok yes/no. So no idea really.
 
hmmm, turned google now off and my battery hasn't shifted one bit since I finished the test... may have found my culprit

I believe it tells you your battery capacity vs the theoretical capacity of the battery (its a measure of battery health basically)

It would appear my original statement was wrong (I haven't been able to run the test). Now I think it checks for capacity vs. what is considered a healthy capacity and thus does a pass/fail based on that.

Pres when you root a One X do you get a worse battery life than if it's stock?

Depends on the ROM/kernel combo. Sense ROMs are generally much better on battery life than AOSP ROMs. For the most part though, custom ROMs are better battery wise than the stock ROM.

Thinking about it?
 
Yeah, I think you reach a stage with a phone when you just want to see what it can do. I've had android for a long time but have never rooted one of my handsets and really fancy seeing it with a different look and feel.

Me too. I am tired of waiting for AT&T to release an update, and I kinda wanna try a AOSP based ROM. The knowledge bar seems way higher than it was when I used to jailbreak my iPhone, though.

My reasoning is mostly just the fact that I get terrible battery life, and so if it's not gonna improve that, I have no real reason to do it
 
That's what i want to do root mine, i did it with my desire & did the s-off too.
The only thing that puts me off at present is not being able to do this without using HTC dev, also would like to think a way will be found to get s-off.
 
My Mobile data has stopped working since the update, has this happened to anyone else?

I've tried resetting the phone, turning it off and on, holding the power button down for 10 seconds, taking out the sim, but nothing doing.

I cant be bothered with a hard reset but its looking likely to be the next step, anyone got any other ideas?
 
Im not sure i actually want this update, im hearing nothing but bad stuff about it! Do you think HTC will release an update for the update as it were lol?

My phone is Orange branded but on 3 network and still says no updates available but really not too bothered at the moment!

If there are any bugs, then I'm sure HTC will get around to doing a maintenance update "on the update" as it were, haha.

There are a lot of issues reported, but from what I hear this is a common thing with major system updates, and a factory reset and restore seems to solve the problem. It's not ideal, due to the stuff you would lose, but I personally would say the update is worth it.

Then again, I just really want the improved design on the notification pane (I spend a lot of time looking at it) so I guess it's more of a cost/benefit analysis for each user.

Looking on XDA Developers it appears that another update has appeared since the Jellybean rollout - thread.
 
For the ICS update on my HTC Vivid, there was a code you could use to force the update to your phone..example: *#*#2424#*#*....is there something like this for this update?

*#*#2432546#*#* (the letters stand for "checkin") forces your phone to check for updates with the update servers.
 
Rooted and running Viper here, if I restored my Nandroid backup that I made straight after rooting will I be able to get JBean when it's available?
