HTC One X Jelly Bean Update: AT&T Finally Pushes Out Android 4.1 After Months Of Silence

After what seems like an eternity of silence, AT&T has finally issued an Android Jelly Bean update for the HTC One X.

According to AT&T's Mark Bridgwater, the update to Android version 4.1, also known as the Jelly Bean, will make the user's smartphone "easier to use" thanks to the enhancements in the update.

The Android 4.1 update include the following:

- Google Now, "which provides you with the latest relevant information you need, when you need it. Whether you're checking the weather, checking flight information, tracking a package or more, you can get the information that matters most immediately in a single swipe."

- Changes to the notification display that groups updates from the same application together and allows you to expand or collapse any notification.

- The ability to view the full text of an SMS message and the full photo of a MMS in the notification window.

- An event notifications display that offers more of the event description, allowing you to quickly see relevant details without having to open an app.

- New countdown timer for the front-facing camera.

The Jelly Bean update also provides users with three AT&T apps:

AT&T Locker: Allows you to automatically store photos, videos and documents securely in the cloud, so you can access and share from your smartphone or computer.

AT&T DriveMode: Helps curb texting and driving. The app can be set-up to automatically send a customizable reply to incoming messages once a vehicle starts moving 25 mph. The auto-reply message is similar to an "out-of-office alert" and can reply to texts, emails and wireless callers letting your friends know that you are driving and unable to respond.

AT&T Messages: Displays all your texts, calls, and voicemail messages together in a single inbox, easily accessible from your computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

To obtain the update, users are asked to be connected to Wi-Fi, select "Applications," then "Settings," followed by "About phone," and "Check for Updates." Users should then follow the instructions listed on the screen.
