Still the best one on the market imo but fail because still no 4.1 (due to carries not HTC i think). Shoddy low light camera and patchy wifi are it's shortfalls. imo every other phone has more shortfalls than that.

Nope. It's HTC. I have a retail, unbranded HOX with CID_044 which is the WWE version. No update.

I don't get why the camera is so crap in low light, worse than an SGS3, yet it was initially supposed to have had good low light performance?????????????/
Sometimes in low light it is worse than my HTC Sensation was, that was worse in low light than my Sony Ericsson K800i !!

Anyone want a cheap one of these? Mine's on eBay 
I was surprised that the low light photos aren't so great, they tout a BSI sensor which is supposed to be the great advancement in low-light, but it didn't really make a difference.
I should really try and compare it to my N4 before it's gone, thinking about it.

You should be getting the update very soon......
Some X devices in Europe have got the update, just none in the UK afaik.
TBH though, the update is going to be worth the wait, especially for the X. HTC are doing more than just providing the new android jellybean features, they are also improving sense even further i.e. the camera app UI as well as quality, UI tweaks to the battery info. section, task manager, gallery, SMS app, browser, keyboard and have USB OTG amongst other things.
The performance of the X has shot up so high that it evens beats the GS 3 with JB in benchmarks, yet the GS 3 has the better hardware.
Battery life as well as audio quality has supposedly also improved.
What annoys me is the way the X+ has been out for like 2-3 weeks now, which has the same hardware and it comes with JB/sense V4+, HTC could have easily updated the X a week or so before the release of the X+ as JB/sense V4+ will have been ready for quite a while. Exact same is happening with the one S and one SE, which has been released in Taiwan.
But then again Samsung did the exact same with their GS 3 and GS 3 LTE model.
Typical businesses, only care about profits and sales.

HTC responded:
"Hi Josh, our engineers are working on the last details as we speak. The update will be in your phone soon. Have a good weekend!"

Pretty much the same thing they have been saying since September.
"Soon" means anything from tomorrow to next year when dealing with HTC.

Odd, I tried my one x and my s3 side by side on the same subjects and without flash light the one x was much better than the s3, have to admit with the flash in low light the s3 was better
HTC_001 here and same no update as yet, had toyed with the idea of flashing it but tbh cba anymore

I am currently using the RENOVATE 9.2.0 based on the HTC Jelly been leak.
I can tell you all that the battery life has doubled. I normally get around 12-13 hours on the stock rom but using the RENOVATE rom I can get over 28 hour with normal usage. I never experienced WiFi issues/3G issues or any software bugs on the stock so I cannot tell you if Jelly bean will fix this.
Info about the update here.

Was going to flash this but you need a certain type of cid right? Looks like I don't have the correct one: ORNG001

I can get twice as much usage out of the one x than I did the old desire. I can go all day without charging no way with the desire. I really honestly have to question what people do/want out of their phones.

I don't know what tweaks you've done to your phone, but my battery life is also terrible unless I'm on Wi-Fi all day and I don't have auto sync turned on...
Don
Same here. I've tried loads of roms but have just accepted that I won't get through the day without charging. I do use the device fairly heavily though.

I find the camera or watching any video just destroys battery life. I notice JB does not have a total screen on time anymore in the power options.

I've found something odd with WiFi that I wouldn't mind others testing.
I have a router (Asus RT56u) that is capable of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. I have set up both on different SSID's and if I join the OneX to the 5Ghz band it munches battery like there is no tomorrow.
On the 2.4Ghz band it is far more conservative on the battery.
Can someone else with this router (or a router capable of 5Ghz) please try this??
Thanks
