In this case, it won't appear in the list of available networks on the Wi-Fi Settings screen and a notification won't appear when the network is in range.

As a flagship device for Windows Phone 8, the HTC 8X is armed with a host of attractive features and technologies that set it apart in a competitive market.

At the heart of the HTC 8X is its 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 display, sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This screen not only delivers vibrant colors and sharp images but also wide viewing angles. Moreover, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability against scratches and minor impacts.
