Problems with Wi-Fi from HTC and One X One S? Try this solution

Some users HTC One S and One X said about the problems in working with networks Wi-Fi. According to reports, after leaving the sleep mode Wi-Fi on your phone is turned off and is restored only after the exit from this mode. Interestingly, this happens even if the transfer takes place through a network of data that violates the normal operation of some applications. Empirically it was found that this problem only occurs when making automatic settings on the access point / router. Certainly HTC is preparing a patch to solve the problem, as long as the network configuration manually. If you do not know how to do this, follow the instructions below.

1. First go to Settings> Wi-Fi and "delete" your Wi-Fi
2. Now reselect your network and enter your password
3. Click on "Show Advanced Options" and select "IP Settings", then choose "Static "instead of" DHCP "
4. The address IP : enter the IP address you want to assign to your phone. Take it from the list of available IP assigned via DHCP (check your router configuration page if you have doubts). For example, if your router is 192.168.0.1, from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254, then you should be fine.
5. Gatweay : The IP address of your router.
6. IP Prefix Length : usually the "24" standard should be fine
7. DNS1/DNS2 : The primary and secondary DNS of your ISP. If you are not sure you can use Google's public DNS, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, as shown in the screenshot.

If you still have problems after this operation with Wi-Fi, try to enable "Best Performance Wi-Fi", Wi-Fi settings in Advanced. If you have problems to connect, or you can connect but not access to internet, check the settings, especially the gateway and DNS.

In case of failure even after changing the settings properly Wi-Fi, continue to connect via DHCP and IP expect the new firmware that contains the fix.

The news is encouraging, and because it allows you to use with a HTC X One of the most valuable photographic applications on Google Play, and because it denotes a special attention from developers to optimize software for the Nvidia Tegra platform 3.

The other devices with similar SOC system can use Instagram. As we know, HTC X One is the first smartphone to adopt Nvidia Tegra 3 and then will be the first to benefit from it.

One HTC X and Xperia S are two of the most interesting device of this first part of 2012. In both cases we find a resolution display 720p that is revealed, therefore, particularly suitable for internet browsing. The display of the Xperia S exceeds that of HTC X One regarding the level of pixel density, the top of the range HTC responds by proposing a diagonal (4.7 "against 4.3" of Xperia S). Significant differences regarding the operating system used by the two devices (Android One X 4.0.3 for HTC, Android Gingerbread Xperia S) and different hardware platforms (quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 for HTC One X, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 Xperia S).

HTC has made several customizations to the native browser which is full of options and requires a physiological period of training to master the best. As an example we mention the option to activate and deactivate the reformatting of the text. The feature has often characterized the browser of HTC devices, but thanks to the high resolution and display size of HTC X One that enables readability even without recourse to higher zoom levels, the function can be switched off by speeding up operations rendering of the page.

[Black HTC One X Black] picture and first impression

After a while 'waiting has finally got the new HTC X One Black color . This is the top range of the series One that surely by now you have learned. Compared to the test done during the MWC 2012, the impact is even more enjoyable. Complicit in the lack of competition still existing and the few significant innovations commercialized, HTC X One is definitely a smartphone which is hard to resist. The black color is certainly less impact than the white, but more because we like the most elegant and goes very well with the colors of the display of the logo and Beats Audio.

The materials are excellent and the building is really valuable. It really has the feeling of holding a top range and expensive item. As there are plastic and there being no opening for the battery, not being replaced, the robustness is guaranteed and sensitive issues are virtually absent.

The surface is smooth to the touch, pleasant and at the same time soft and slightly rubberized grip and to help with the hand grip. The dimensions are certainly generous but still not too excessive. The screen is large and obviously not in front of a device has a 3.5 inch diagonal.

Just the display is a significant step forward in the experience HTC. Just as we wrote from Barcelona, ​​is the HD resolution that the bright colors and glass processing with glossy effect, offer a truly exceptional visual pleasure. There is an AMOLED, and how blacks can be good, blacks are not all the way and the difference with competitors is known. Across the whites are better balanced and altogether one of the best displays we've seen before on smartphones to date.

The customized HTC Sense is renewed, beautiful, much more usable in previous years, unfortunately or fortunately, hides the Android system. Basically Android 4.0 with HTC Sense takes a back seat completely. We have all the advantages of the Play Store and all the customizations made by HTC carefully truly exceptional. ICS, however, remains little if anything in terms of UI. Obviously it is well known and the purchaser of One knows what HTC and choose One click also and above all for the great customization of the producer.

Speaking of performance is still early to tell. But we can say that, Tegra 3 or less, the Web experience is really good and has a speed of rendering pages, scroll and pinch to zoom in very high levels and higher than the current competition Tegra. HTC certainly knows also optimize the software.

Note in closing very important: the Wi-Fi seems to work very well with a range that exceeds that of many other devices. For example, we can surf the internet in a room where other devices do not see our wireless network.

Appointment in the coming hours for further information, videos and other items of X.
