Jelly bean to One X

I got fed up of waiting on Orange so just rooted and installed custom rom :)
That won't help you with the Jelly Bean update though because you're on a branded phone your CID number won't match, meaning we'll have to wait for the official update from the carrier.

Unless HTC give us S-OFF that is.

I'm on T-Mobile so can't flash the leaked Jelly Bean ROM :(

Thanks for the update - much appreciated. Had hoped for it to be sooner though - sometime in October had been mentioned before.

I'm in the UK, so if the rollout happens as per previous, we will receive it on unbranded handsets two weeks after mainland Europe - which puts us at mid November.

Fingers crossed the beta testing goes well so hopefully nothing major is found and they can release sooner!

Hopefully branded European phones, Vodafone in my case will have it out by Christmas...
I now have JB on my Asus TF201. It is a little smoother and quicker but nothing revolutionary compared to ICS. So I can wait for it to be released. Hopefully next Summer when I go for a new phone mobile tech will take a good leap forward especially in battery tech.
I believe window system phones will be a lot stronger in 2013. I wouldn't rule out going to Windows.
One thing that annoys me about android compared to Apple is when you upgrade to a new model you have to back up your apps etc and then spend ages setting up your phone again, unlike Apple just plug it in and sync, job done. Now if JB brought a sync into the game or something similar that would be a nice addition

Hi,

You should be able to keep all your settings and apps on your goolgle account. When you get a new device when you sign in it will ask you if you want to restore your new device with the settings stored. I upgraded from a TF101 to a TF700t and all my settings including my DNS settings were all restored. Have you the sync turned on in your google account.

Animations in JB and Google+ voice search is great. Well worth an update.

Hi

Some general settings are there alright. But I would physically have to download the apps if I didn't have back up pro which also puts everything back where they where originally. Another thing I use is app list backup, which fetches the apps I use from the market. Maybe Asus is a better setup than that of HTC for syncing?

I'm an active member of Elevate and have seen or heard nothing of a Jellybean Beta test, other than members wishing for one.

Hi all,

Just to let you know that the JB update for HOX is currently in beta test with the members of HTC Elevate (which I am part of).

HTC have told us the update will rollout at the start of november, once the beta testing has finished.

This is about as much as I am allowed to tell you.:)
