I phoned HTC about the yellow patches and they it wasn't glue but a problem with something call "The LCD Foil" and would not go away with time. So if you have yellowing I would be tempted to return within 28 days of purchase because after that you will have to send away for a repair and HTC don't rush themselves :-/

I'm gutted about these flaws as I have used HTC phones for years and have been for the most part happy but I am defiantly going to try the Galaxy S3 (I have it pre ordered) and hope all goes well.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes the problems are too repetitive to be called a freak chance of defect

sadly when u do get a perfect phone, its amazing in every word

there is nothing i don't just love about it, i even agree with their switch to polycarbonate

most of my friends had it perfect from the first go, i struggled with 2 and had to unbox over a dozen

but the bottom line here, its a high rate of defects...how else would so many cycle between 10 devices and a lot with the repetitive screen not fit issues

its seriously messed up

but i have one comment, screen noise at angles is not dust under the screen its just the glue i've been seeing it in a lot of devices, so i think it will be a waste of time to return it on this account
[HTC One X] -McGyver:
so the only solution is..to send it to my online shop and hope they swap it...and not repair... :(
[HTC One X] themooncat:
I can see that if you managed to get one that was perfect that it would be a great phone but if I returned any more to my local carphone warehouse store they may have banned or stoned me LOL so had to get off the faulty HTC One X train.
[HTC One X] xlazaruzx:
I was at Best Buy yesterday to buy an HOX because they are the only one in my area that have the white one. The sales guy had an HTC One X and he returned the phone because he said it had a lot of problems. He decided to check all the three white ones they have in stock before selling it to me. He opened the first box, turned on the phone to check for any defects. He slightly pressed on the side and the screen suddenly became unresponsive. He turned it off then back on and screen was still not responding. He got the second one, before he turned it on he shook the phone and heard something moving inside. He turned on the phone and he showed me some yellow areas on the screen. He put it back and got the third one. The third one had no problems like the previous two but the screen was slightly raised on one side.

I decided not to get this phone and just wait for the SGS3. What a shame because I really like this phone and HTC should do something about their crappy build quality.
[HTC One X] ADstv:
My only defect is a very small spec of dust under the screen. Other than that it's perfect, I could get it replaced but the issue is very hard to see and I dont want to risk getting something else that has worse problems.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you and me looks like we always agree to disagree. You are getting a phone that is worth loads of money you want it to be perfect in every sense of the way. build quality, sound quality and etc you do not want to have an ounce fault with it. if there is a tiny tiny scratch or a little chip off which is not visible but you can still see it is there if you carefully look or the glue is not properly laid out on the casing you still know it is there and something is not right and it is not perfect. that should be returned straight away as this is not the state you want a flagship phone to be. End off. I know i sound OCD and perfectionist. but they are getting my money, they are sticking me in a two year contract or they got like half of my monthly salary if not all as sure hell will want a perfect phone in return.

Same goes for me..I had to send it in for repairs due to all the faults. Power button was wonky, dust going in on the left hand side and you could push the left hand side of the glass to go back into the casing cause you could hear it creak. If they get back to me and they say they could not fix it or there is nothing wrong my word i will get really pissed off..And if that happens and they do not give me my perfect One X that expect then **** it i will be going all out for an S3..I love the One x but being away from my phone and not being able to use it and not even in my second month of my contract this is taking the mick and i know for sure i will not be going for another HTC phone again
[HTC One X] casca:
It's rather stupid what I am about to say but... if you truly value your "good condition" X, don't exchange it.

I'm on my 3rd X now and IT WILL SURELY be the last.

Either it's good or I will return it and buy a different device.

100% sure about this.

I'm trying since the 4th of April, to get a good phone and it is not pleasant, nor should this effort be needed from a customer.

If proper policy was used from HTC, they should collect all of their devices around the globe from known faulty batches and send new ones to their customers.

If BMW or Mercedes sell/produce a faulty vehicle, they immediately send a letter to their customers to fix the problem when they detect one.

That's why serial numbers and batch numbers exist.

Just my 2 cents though.
[HTC One X] danielhtc:
I am in exactly the same boat. I'm going to keep mine though.. Already had enough problem ones and this is the least of them.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what part don't you agree with me the noise under the screen?

i investigated it till death, the noise is not visible in the sunlight during screen off and the screen is fit like a rock! nor is there any specs its just a grain effect visible at steep angles on pure whites, i saw it on so many phones too, desire HD, iPhone4, Galaxy note

i really think its just one of the habbits of screen lamination
[HTC One X] themooncat:
Your a better person than me! If I had a speck under my phone screen on that price handset I would have to return it :-/ Its just not good enough from HTC the quality issues are beyond a joke and if they think rushing the ONEX out to beat the S3 to market was a good strategy they are mistaken.

I'm a long time HTC user and if the Galaxy S3 had been out before the ONEX I would have still waited for the HTC but now I am dumping HTC in favour of Samsung because I had 11 faulty HTC OneX phones which might have been avoided if they took a little longer to get production right. CRAZY!!!

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

If there are so many faulty units are the good units going to last in the long run?

Are the stable fitted screens over months of heating up and cooling down going to loosen as the glue that holds the screen in might deteriorate?

I believe the phone has the ILLUSION of high quality with its thick polycarbonate back etc but is thrown together as cheaply as possible with no thought.
[HTC One X] rik-sik:
I love my One X

**Covers phones ears**

1.Basically its overheating on silly things , keep getting the red green flash rave !

must of been well over 50 degrees C the other day!

2.Animation transitions turning themselves on and off at will

( the box keeps unchecking itself in the settings )

3. Memory loss 15gb etc , I know there's an update but i don't know when its coming to 3uk!

4. Camera recording about 12 fps :(

I'm getting a fresh new handset on Friday as recommended by htc as they were a bit baffled by some of the issues haha.

Other than that the phone is amazing ! I wouldn't swap it for a different brand or model :)

I know its not all the phones , my mates One x is working fine even under the same circumstances.
[HTC One X] Shekar.m1986:
Thankfuly my One X is not faulty at all, but battery drainage is my only problem, and thanx for helpful thread, i came to it after i bought it, atleast this thread did a world of good to me to check if i have anything as mentioned in first post. I have even set a lowest brightness values possible, and there is only two apps running at the background which no way near shows high juice consuming app in battery stats, display is the only culprit, i cant understand why they put such battery in flagship device, and to add to our misery, battery is un-removable.
[HTC One X] dominicwilde:
The only slight issue I have is the volume rocker. Just doent feel "premium".

Otherwise I'm loving the HOX
[HTC One X] thedan55:
I genuinely love my htc one x.

I can get over the battery issues am having, not really issues just low battery life say 3hrs 45mins ish. I can deal with that as I usually have a charger around but that should get berry once we get better updates from htc and NVIDIA.

I can also kinda get past that the one x doesn't NOT SUPPORT HSDPA+ which is f@$&ing ****. But ok.

But the one thing that's driving god dam insane is how hot the god dam phone gets!!! I mean what kind of stupid design is this that they make a phone that got can only use for three hours but have to stop using it because your hands are hot! !!

What I'm worried about is when cases that have batteries come out how are they going to handle the dam heat!!!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
hot? why? did you not update to 1.29.401.11?
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It supports HSPA+ to 21Mbps which is the fastest the UK currently supports...until late in the year (possibly). It will NOT show an H+ logo.
[HTC One X] fekle:
I've got my replacement today, It's a HTC24EW with 1.26.401.2... my old one had "torches" of light on the bottom... the new one got it too.. do you think this is an build defect?

greets
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no its not
[HTC One X] fekle:
really? :) well, do you have a source for this information?haha
[HTC One X] dazz29:
Returning from Windows Phone.....

And waited to see what Samsung would offer. Got my HOX two days ago - HTC did a great job on this phone! :D
[HTC One X] thedan55:
I'm on the latest update. Still gets pretty warm. I do admit that it doesn't get add hot as it used to but still.

Thanks for clarifying that for me mate. Feel better
[HTC One X] thedan55:
When you talk about heat what app do you use to monitor the temps?

I war just playing zombie smash and the CPU temp was at 70c and the battery was at 45c (Ish)

I think that's too high. I'm using core control to see the CPU temp and it also had the battery temps
[HTC One X] hq5:
It is still not safe to buy HOX even with the latest build ?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
45c battery is normal, CPU will not shutdown before 99c

HTC confirmed these are normal temps

during the out of box 1.26 firmware battery was almost reaching 65c now it never crosses 50c
[HTC One X] casca:
Hello! My 3rd hox arrived yesterday, and so far it looks perfect.

Just for the record, it's my 3rd hox with serial ht23xxx...

The 1st had a faulty g-sensor and the 2nd had yellow spots on it's display.
[HTC One X] hq5:
Seems like HTC got some serious quality control with One X
[HTC One X] kingkij:
Ihave a HTC one X. using it for 2 weeks and I don't have any problem so far.
[HTC One X] m3keni:
Very fine crack lines (accordion like) on all corners of the phone

Did anyone of you observed on their phone if you have like a very fine.. hmmm.. kinda wrinkles-ish kinda lines on your phone?

Specifically the four corners.. top and bottom left, top and bottom right..

I was so bored that I tried checking my phone and saw this very fine line wrinkly-is lines on each corner.. I'm not sure if this is a built defect of just my case.

If only I have a DSLR, I can probably take a photo of it.

Maybe an accordion will better relate to what I am referring to..
[HTC One X] Abernus:
My original HOX went back for a faulty battery, my replacement I got had a different fault. The screen in the lower left side would seem to detach from the body and you could hear a sticky click when you pressed it down.

I just ignored the last flaw in my HOX and now it seems to of gone, the screen is firm again and no longer clicks. Not sure how/why this has fixed itself but I am very glad it has.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I now have cracking on both sides of the device,

Several straight lines on the little curve on the sides that meet up with the black part.

It's apparent on both sides of my phone, I suggest everyone to now look at their own device.

My phone has never been mis-handled & it never used to have these lines.

Rather disappointed, even though you do have to look VERY closely.

You can't really see it outside in natural light, but indoors I see it if I look closely.

Small crack lines, about 30 per side, & only on the small curve that meets up with the black screen bezel.

.... Hard to explain. LOL
[HTC One X] Genkville:
Well done HTC :)

Mt screen has this feature where it's decided it wants to pop out of it's shell.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
:eek::eek: seriously man?
[HTC One X] Genkville:
Yes lol

It just popped out from the bottom left corner! No problem though, it's something that HTC's superglue can fix :banghead:

Nah, seriously, phoned them up and my carrier is sending me a new one.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well i had some bad news...my one is currently getting fixed..asked them what would happen if they can not fix it..would they replace it with a brand new one? Cause if they did i said i would prefer an s3...unfortunately it would have to be like for like...well the manager at the store i took the phone to she is quite hot so when it is time for me to pick it up i might have to try and seduce her to give me the s3 instead:D
[HTC One X] Fredz:
sim card issue fixed

Hi there,

Just to informe you that I solve my sim detection problem that appeared when my hox was too hot. The problem was that the hox detects that sim tray card is inserted with a switch pushed by the back of the tray (and not on the side). When the phone is too hot. The metal reduces and the switch is not pushed correctly. So I have extended my sim tray by adding a glue paper on the bottom of the tray. Now the problem has disappeared. Hope it can help someone else.

I ll try to make pictures to explain how I have proceed.

Bye.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Just mailed mine back to Expansys for an exchange RMA. Had a reoccurring yellow spot and a scratch on the screen (which was my fault, I admit). Luckily the yellow spot started showing up after my update to 1.29.401.11 so two birds with one stone, eh?
[HTC One X] nixola:
The first one came with dead pixel, the replacmnet have a screen ripple....

Bad u HTC:mad:
[HTC One X] hanming:
I just got my white HOX yesterday. Everything is perfect except the annoying screen flex issue. The left side and the lower right side of the screen has the flex. I bought mine near the middle of May from Expansys but they are still selling the HT23 series. Now, returning it and exchange for a new one.
[HTC One X] xgolyx:
Hi

On my third one. This one has a problem with the screen. Whenever Im touching edeges of it makes waves of colors on. Looks like glass dosent fit well to frames and touches LCD. Just want to know if I can still replace it under two weeks? Anyone plz. Thx
[HTC One X] Goku80:
send it back
[HTC One X] MaBlo:
Mine is perfect. HT243.
[HTC One X] lojak29:
Mine is white works great one of the first made ordered before release date.

Has rattle but like someone mentioned its probably way camers parts/shutter is built to work

Cam ia fine have seen a screen flicker a few times but its so fasst barely notice it.

No concerns here

Btw for those in doubt

The battery life is phenominal as good as iphone htc did something right finally in that aspect

ONLY ISSUE LOW STORAGE LIKE 9gigs supposes to be more like 13

System apps/bloatware cause this

Htc should have made this 32g
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

It is hard without seeing it but often you get a fine line, almost like a fine scratches, around cut outs or edges of molded plastic items due to the molding process. It might just be that.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
Edit: Wrong thread! :D
[HTC One X] MaBlo:
What storage are you talking about? Mine has 25 gigs.
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Had to return mine for a credit note as mine had a screen gap and the two replacements had flex issues. Didn't want the 28 days to run out so I preordered a sgs3 with the credit note from cpw. Which is a damn shame as I much prefer the one x and I miss it :/
[HTC One X] thedan55:
Hey goku80 you going s3 on us?

I just played mass effect infiltrator for 17minds and the temp never hit anything over 52c. That's good right?

Do you think the s3 will also have heat? It is a quad core device but the architecture is more efficient
[HTC One X] Hydromea:
Hey, I have one defect I'm sure nobody else has had. This is my 2nd One X, first one had overheating problems and major light leakage. On the new one, the home button lights up a GREEN. Instead of being white, it is green. Really. It's almost amusing. Time for another exchange….
[HTC One X] Fangar:
Don't think that's defect, I would call it special lol
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Mine's blue, i dunno if it's meant to be blue but it's pretty awesome
[HTC One X] xdn:
today I was at a Carphone Warehouse store in central London and they said all the One X's they had in store have been recalled due to a screen issue ("wobbling screen" as they put it) and new stock is arriving on Wednesday.

hopefully this means htc is finally reacting and doing something about their really poor build quality record with the One X.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
yeah mate since my one x gone back for repairs i kinda had a change of heart and really do not want this phone anymore. nothing but trouble and since i am a big fan of flashing custom roms and kernels and modems for me the s3 is the better choice. better development and all round easier methods to flash stuff. not just that though the HTC phone really has put me off for the quality. anyways regarding the games i am not sure as i really do not play much.
[HTC One X] thedan55:
The poor battery life and heat on my one x is starting to bug me but too. I'm getting a little disappointed with this phone. Thankfully thank god I've not had any issues with my one x in terms of build quality just the heat ad battery life are concerns for me.

Seeing as the s3 is quad core too , will get get as hot as the one x?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Probably. But the thing is depending how you use the phone.
[HTC One X] thedan55:
Yeah true. While gaming I suppose the s3 would heat up too. Think is im not a huge gamer but I do play games sometimes and that just destroys the battery life on the one x.

Also what does it mean when the led on the phone flashes green and red? It's on charge through my external battery and I started playing a game and the led was flashing green to red.
[HTC One X] sachinaik:
Guys,

SGS3 : 32 nm

ONEX : 40 nm

32 nm means less heat, more battery life.

Best is 28nm kraits. They are better than anything on market now.

I'm looking for a 28nm quad core krait 4.3 inch SAMOLED Plus 720p with 2000MAh and 12MP camera with low light handling.

Until then I'll stick with sgs2.

There's OneS though. It is better than OneX but not available in my country.

I thought of buying OneX. But now, hell no !!!!
[HTC One X] MaBlo:
Yeah that's my only issue with the One X, battery life when gaming. I wouldn't say that the One S is better though. Less storage, crappy screen compared to the X and no Tegra games. CPU wise their about as fast, but the gpu on the X is about 12% faster. Not that I think that matters that much.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok you guys sorry but go look at Sonic 4 Episode 2 to see what T3 can do and before you say chainfire, it will run the game but not nearly as good

The SGS3 has a very powerful GPU but it needs software support
[HTC One X] Goku80:
and that is the one advantage that the One X has over the S3...always said that and will keep saying it...it is best to have the software out of the box instead using the need to have the support for it to play on a handset ie chainfire.:)
[HTC One X] svenvv:
When i came home today i noticed the device had a strange bump and a crack on the backcover. It's located in the bottom-right of the device.

I must say that it was rather warm today and my phone was inside a black bag which caused the phone to heat up quite alot. Although when you play a game the device heats up way more.

anyone had encoutered this problem before?

pic:
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I would keep a VERY close eye on that when you charge it next. I.e., don't leave it unattended and have a bucket of water handy.
[HTC One X] svenvv:
hmmm... I usually charge it next to my bed when i'm asleep. But I'll sure keep an eye on that. Who likes exploding batteries anyway?

I'll bring it in for repair tomorrow. Backing up and reflashing a RUU as I speak ;)
[HTC One X] thedan55:
I have a question lads hopefully someone can help.

I have an external battery that has two pets for charging two devices.

Its a 12000 mah battery capable of charging one phone and one tablet. One is rated at 5.5v at 1mah fur phones and 5v at 2mah for tablets.

When I plug the one x into the phone port and I go into HTC info app it shoes as charging from USB. Which I would imagine would be a slow charge. Is there any way for me to tell the phone to pull the Max like is charging on ac
[HTC One X] vinrem:
The only problem i encountered with my white one x is the wifi issue (signal only 1 bar/no bar at all) after i installed 1.29, but i was able to fixed it by just switching off my wifi router and switching it on again after a few seconds. But so far no problems at all and loving it :)
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Short out the two middle usb pins. I glued a square of aluminum foil inside mine.
[HTC One X] -juanito-:
my one x have dust in the place that separates the screen from the body in the right and the left and top of the screen

I can see the LED light from the place that separates the screen from the body near the company name near the front camera

I can see the light of the three buttons out of the place that separates the screen from the body

With these problems .. will replacing my HOX?

sorry for my english
[HTC One X] cod2:
Completed one week of hard use, no issues so far. Tested everything from camera to GPS, no problems at all. :) Great phone!
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
I have my One X since Apr 3rd and it is perfect. Don't have any negative defect as some said around here :)
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Yes i had one gap on the top right and they replaced mine. You should surely get it replaced.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guys just a heads up on my still perfect SH248

Out of box it only had some LCD ripple on outer edges intentional pressure

now after over a month of use ripple is gone! now I press n I press nothing happens :D
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
On my third One X, SH25EW batch. Build is solid as a rock aside from a few imperfections in the poly shell and the metal rim surrounding the screen. No ripples, flex, overheating etc. Came with 1.29 pre-loaded. Only downer is I see the screen has developed a single stuck blue pixel in the lower most part. Was not there initially. Hoping that it will go away. Does not interfere with daily use tho so not a bother. Very happy now.
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I fell into sleep with mine and when I woke up, I have huge yellow spot on the top of the screen. Isn't this a defect that warranty should cover, I've had my one X over a month now

Edit: wadafuk played shadowgun for 10mins and it's gone yay!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup you probably pressured on the screen lets hope its gone for good and never sleep with it again, i mean love it but don't make love to it :D
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I'll try :D
