Since its launch back in May, HTC One X has received several maintenance updates meant to fix some of the issues reported by users.

Unfortunately, one of the most powerful Android smartphones available on the market, the One X, is still plagued by some bugs that may limit its functionality.

HTC One X has been released with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box, but the phone is now running Android 4.0.3 in most regions.

However, Google has already released a newer Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update, which is finally making its way to HTC One X devices.

US carrier AT&T was among the first to offer this update to its customers one week ago, and it looks like the international variant is now receiving Android 4.0.4 ICS as well.

According to the folks over at HTCInside, the update is now available for download in Germany, as well as other European countries.

Still, while the update offered by AT&T has around 270MB in size, this one is only 148MB. Anyway, software version 2.17.401.2 is now pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, which means not all HTC One X owners will receive the update at the same time.

The update brings a new HTC Sense 4.1 user interface for the One X, as well as a new tab on the notification bar. More importantly, it adds a “Recent App” button menu in Settings, which solves an annoying bug with the virtual menu key.

Last but not least, HTC has confirmed that the update also includes the following changes: “enhancements to memory, platform stability and the overall browsing experience. Other improvements include a Single Sign-On for Facebook allowing user access across applications and browsers and upgrades to Beats audio, which reflect our dedication to providing an authentic sound experience.”
