HTC has started rolling out an update to HTC One X handsets
that brings Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.04 as
well as a tweaked version of the Sense interface to the phone.
A
spokesman for HTC confirmed the rollout would begin on Friday in the UK, but
that timings for other regions would vary.
"The
primary update will include an upgrade to Android version 4.0.4 (Ice Cream
Sandwich), in addition to an improved Sense experience which will enable the
ability to map menu functions to the 'recent app' key — improving visual
presentation in non-ICS apps like Facebook — and improve tab management in the
browser with a dedicated tab-switching button," HTC said in a statement.
Other
improvements include refined white balance and a continuous auto-focus mode for
the camera as well as a single sign-on for Facebook across websites and apps.
The company also said it brought improvements to the Beats Audio software, but
did not provide details of the upgrades.
While
the update might not be the Jelly Bean upgrade that owners were hoping for, a
spokeswoman for HTC confirmed that the Jelly Bean 4.1 update is still planned
for the device.
"At
this point in time, we can confirm that we have plans to upgrade our HTC One X,
HTC One XL and HTC One S to Jelly Bean," HTC said. "While our goal is
to bring the latest software updates to as many of our recent devices as
possible, we are committed to maintaining every phone's performance and
usability first."
