We reported last week about “issues” with HTC’s latest One X flagship smartphone. HTC has finally confirmed that they “have identified a fix that strengthens the area of the phone around the WiFi antennae connection points.” They also said that they “have taken immediate steps to implement a solution in our production process to prevent this issue from happening in the future.

Unfortunately, based on HTC’s findings, this seems to be a hardware issue and can’t be fixed through a software patch. It has also been confirmed that the issue affects all HTC One X’s that have Nvidia’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor, meaning all International versions of the smartphone (including the Philippines) are affected by the WiFi connection issues.

We have contacted HTC Philippines for their comment but they have yet to come out with an official statement. We will update once we have a reply.
