One X Wi-Fi problem acknowledged by HTC. Here is how to test if yours is OK (Video)
Even though it’s one of the best Android handsets money can buy, the HTC One X[1] has had its issues. The latest one is related to a hardware fault that causes weak Wi-Fi connectivity signal and constant connection drops. This One X Wi-Fi problem has been identified by the XDA community, they discover that it is indeed a hardware fault that’s causing the issues, as some believed that a software update will fix all the problems. HTC even released a patch to improve Wi-Fi connectivity for the AT&T users of the device a while back, but that didn’t fix the problem as a hardware fault cannot be fixed by mere software. Not all of the HTC One X devices are affected by this problem but those that have experienced the issues are expecting a fix from HTC. After alerting HTC about the problem, linking to the thread on XDA, AndroidCentral have obtained the official acknowledgement from HTC Europe.
You need to know that the thread on XDA[2] also covers a fix it yourself guide to the Wi-Fi antenna problems that involves disassembling the device. There is also a method to test if your One X is affected. You need to “Gently squeeze the side back of your phone, between the camera lens and the volume buttons, if your WIFI signal strength improves only to drop back down when you stop squeezing then you have this seemingly common fault.“ Here is a short video demonstrating the issue:
