That's what I always keep quoting: they have great materials, but suck at assembling.

It doesn't suddenly mean HTC is all bad, it's just their Quality Check/Control isn't probably high enough and I really wish it was better. I will be coming to One X from Galaxy Nexus which feels like a hard solid brick, no matter where and how you try to squeeze it and I just hope One X will not disappoint. With my attention to details, I tend to notice little things and it's sometimes a curse :(
[HTC One X] kangyit:
Mine was made in china..grey model. Build quality is very good.solid n so such defects as other members encounter. Lucky me.:)

Anyway, when I was at htc retail shop testing out the white n grey model before deciding which color to choose, I realized that the back cover of the white demo model was yellowish (mayb due to multiple customer trying).

So if u r not a guy/ girl that take good care of phone, better not go for white as it will looks quite dirty.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Mine will come from Taiwan - is it good or bad?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Anybody who claims to have an answer to that question is making untenable assumptions, or simply pulling an answer out of thin air. The real answer is that nobody knows which country has a higher defect rate.
[HTC One X] Misty36:
Has anyone else noticed a strange knocking/rattling/clicking noise when typing with vibration feedback on? I have a grey One X, made in Tawian, and last night I noticed this weird knocking/tapping sound when typing. It's not the sound effects because they're turned off, and it's not my fingernails hitting the screen. There's no pattern to this noise, no specific area of the screen that triggers it, it's just this very subtle tap/knock/click sound coming from the lower back of the phone. It's not there when the phone vibrates for a call or anything, just the small, rapid vibrations of typing. It might be me being picky but now that I've noticed it, it's really annoying! :( I'm not sure if this is the same 'loose part' that other people have noticed.. :confused:
[HTC One X] matw01:
Are there many users with the issue where if you press down slightly on the edge of the phone it distorts the image?

if its not that widespread i'm thinking i should be returning this phone for a new one.
[HTC One X] nickp123:
Wanted to weigh in with the fact I have had no issues whatsoever with build quality. Its always nice to check a new device, but I do feel some people are very sensitive as to what is/isnt acceptable.

This device, and Ive held 3, is top notch. No build issues I can see. You also only tend to hear about the bad issues, not the good build properties.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
return it!
[HTC One X] matw01:
does yours not have any of these problems?
[HTC One X] Aja82:
HTC themselvs stated that they would never let a phone ship with those kind of problems.

I say, return aswell!

[HTC One X] matw01:
Just been on the phone to phones4u (phone creaking against my ear at the time) to ask about the beats headphones and to complain about my handset.

My account manager has promised to ring me back in the next 1/2 hour.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the flexing issue is the first i tested thing on the One X, i tested it on two sa far and no the answer is no

dunno if it would manifest after a drop
[HTC One X] matw01:
well i've definitely not dropped my handset so thats not the cause.

it creaks on the top left side and at the bottom where the buttons are if you press it from both sides and the screen issue happens at both sides and the bottom without much pressure at all.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
The phone creaking against your ear is the most off-putting thing about the device for me, just waiting for the SAE from dialaphone to send it back.
[HTC One X] The Jones:
I noticed mine creaks a bit after a few days. I am getting it replaced today. First thing I will do is run the new phone so it gets a bit hot and then test for creaks. I do wonder if the heat levels cause some warping in the plastics which as the phone then cools goes solid.
[HTC One X] matw01:
well i've not played any tegra games on mine so i wouldn't have thought it had overheated yet.

I noticed the creaking from the left hand side when on the phone, and the creaking at the bottom after someone else point it out as i wouldn't normally hold it that way.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Just got off the phone with HTC and they are sending me out a pre-paid bag to return my phone in and they will then send out a replacement.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Received one from Taiwan from Clove.co.uk today and it's perfect, not only hardware but also can't see any other software issues other people have.
[HTC One X] dragonithe:
I've got one, maybe two maybe point on the quality of my one x.

first is that it looks like the top of the screen is not connected to the device. Because I can see the light of my notification light come near the screen, and not only out of the speaker holes.

And second there are two little dents in the top left corner of the shell.
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
Anyone got a rattle when shaking phone
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Yes there's a specific thread in this seems to either be a camera part or volume rocker but not a defect.
[HTC One X] johnnymiller1000:
Mine has 2 yellow spots on the left hand edge of the display, it also only has the screen flex issue at the points where the yellow spots are. when you press on the yellow spots they disappear for a few mins then come back.

I'm wondering if the suggestion of the glue not having cured is also part of the screen flex issue and it will disappear/go when the glue cures and stiffens up. Like i say, the flex only occurs for me at the position of the yellow spots. It was really quite bad out of the box, the whole left hand edge, but having had an iPhone, i charged it up and set it up and already most of it is disappearing just 2 spots left.

only got the handset today (White/Taiwan) from Amazon UK, so going to give it a few days before swapping it out with Amazon. Interesting that its only the left hand side affected. I had this yellow issue with the iPhone 4 and that resolved itself over a week or so.

I've got a Galaxy Note white as well (free upgrade from Orange which surprisingly came fully unlocked and unbranded!), so just need to decide which to keep! :) Note feels more robust hardware wise, but prefer the slick software on the One X and the speed of it is insane! :)

will let you know if the spots go or if anything else occurs.... i'm reluctant to send it back as every time I've done this in the past, the replacement has been worse :)
[HTC One X] DazzXP:
I am taking my HTC One X back tomorrow after the latest flaw. The screen's not grounded, if you charge it and use it the screen is completely unresponsive and does it's own thing, swipe and selects stuff it does it's own thing. I thought they would of fixed this has my HTC Sensation had a similar issue except you get a slight vibrating with it, but the One X is completely unusable.

Mine is the grey model made in Taiwan
[HTC One X] pikesmatrix:
Is it just me or does the volume rocker seem a bit loose and a bit to flush up against the side of the phone. Seems a bit flimsy for my liking.
[HTC One X] DazzXP:
Volume rocker seems fine to me, a little spongy but it seems fine.
[HTC One X] shareonline:
Just to let everyone know.. Today i recieved my HTC One X (White), which was made in taiwan. The build quality is top notch i think, but my auto rotation does not work...

I'm sending it back tomorrow..
[HTC One X] Visual_Fatigue:
Very happy with the build quality of my One X (White, Taiwan). I do have a slight issue with the backlighting of the touch buttons at the base of the unit. The lighting seems to be off center. Has anyone else seen this? Or am I being picky.
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Dont work on the home screen? Does it work in the web browser or Messages app?
[HTC One X] ImPeCcAbLE:
Just got my One X today and i must say after getting robbed of my Desire HD .. i think this is indefinately the best phone to replace my last one .. .. and one more thing

8========================================> Iphone *****es !
[HTC One X] shareonline:
Not working at all.. i tried to factory reset it but no difference..
[HTC One X] DazzXP:
I do recall some people having this problem but sure if it is firmware related or not or a problem with the sensor.
[HTC One X] sliderocket22:
I must be lucky, I have no build issues with my One X. My only issue is that it has one stuck pixel. Minor detail though, I never see it unless I search for it.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Are you sure you're not simply touching the screen with your other hand by mistake? It's very easy to accidentally press on the sides of the touchscreen with the hand holding the phone, causing unpredictable behavior. (Personally, I'd like to see the active touch are shrunk to reduce this issue.)
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
My HTC One X has that creaking sound too when I press it in the top right corner. I went back to the shop today, and they say that it might be 'within the tolerance limit' - meaning that they might not replace it. What do you think?

EDIT: Can't make the youtube embedding work. Let's see if this links works:

[HTC One X] hamdir:
Yup most One x are flexing one way or the other, wether a slight edge softness, tiny creek or actual corner flex and has no effect on the screen performance, you can't DOA a fully working device for this, maybe its released from HTC as acceptable or reduce fall damage? I don't know or heat but its clearly in most of them Taiwan/China/ht24/ht23, I dont think they will return them all but they should issue a statement
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
The word flex is getting very confusing. To me, flex means that the screen is able to move towards/away from the housing. This would result in creak, or the sensation that the screen touches the sticky lining and then bounces back again. Most white ones have this but I have not seen any grey ones do it. My theory on this is that the polycarbonate shells are fractionally out in some way for the white ones.

But flex is also being used to describe the distortions/rainbows when you press down on the screen.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Flex is the movement of screen no effect on performance unrelated to ripple or color I have two units both with a type of flex, Grey, white, only one of them with ripple

ripple is the LCD effect u mentioned, i think one of the two LCD source comes it, only happens when outer edge is pressured, I don't think.its a defect either my old sensation has it
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
If something wasn't a defect then they would all do it.
[HTC One X] myself11:
Gap on left side between screen and frame. What do you guys think? Return it? Besides, my screen as a notorious yellow tone that doesn't go away like hamdir's unit.
[HTC One X] Mischaseb:
White Taiwan phone here, its absolutely perfect i'm very impressed.

You guys with any issues; If i were you i would DEFINITELY return them for a new one.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Sorry, but this is total BS. How could you possibly know whether it was most, some, or almost none? You don't have any kind of sample size on which to base that judgement.

I have absolutely no flex whatsoever in my One X.
[HTC One X] ancola66:
The cause of the shell you can not fit, because HTC ONE X are paired in this manner :

http://fashion.pconline.com.cn/mobile/1204/2754053.html
[HTC One X] Derzis:
i think those who have problems with this expensive device should return it for a new one

when you pay 550 euro for a phone you expect it to be PERFECT

so you`re saying UK is the best and the rest of Europe just sucks to be them, really?

you think the people of Taiwan take more care when they make the phones cause they go to UK...

here in "the rest of Europe" we just take what China gives us, we are not so lucky as UK

it`s funny how people think that a phone made in Taiwan is better than one in China
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
Here's an enhanced photo of my One X screen to show the uneven backlight. A standard photo can't show the difference, so contrast was put to 100% and brightness turned down. The difference IS visible to the eye and is quite noticeable when viewing the Google homepage in the browser.

Ignore the whiter "frame" around the screen - that's an artifact caused by the curved glass. Also, the vertical smudge just left of center is in fact a finger smear I forgot to wipe off after I set the display brightness to 100% in Display Tester! (Now you know why pattern lock is not so secure ;-p)

EDIT: Just noticed that you can see the display bands quite clearly on this. They appear vertical here, but of course are horizontal when the phone is in portrait. Seems to be a "feature" of the way the screen is made? These hardware bands correspond to those I see when using Google Play. Anyone else noticed them?

Going to send it back and see if a replacement One X is any better. Not just for this flaw, but screen flicker too.
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
I'm yet to hear of a Chinese built one x having these issues. It seems to be the Taiwan built phones with them.

Mine is flawless.
[HTC One X] yaggy85:
Hey guys

Just got my replacement phone from vodafone here in australia, and it is a LOT better.

No more screen flexing, no creaking, etc. perfect unit.

Serial starts with HT24 while the previous 2 i had were HT23.

Thanks guys, will keep you updated,

Chris
[HTC One X] esudl:
Got mine from Orange UK, build quality seems very good. How do I find out where it's built? Only thing I've had is after enabling USB debugging it turned the screen into a mobile disco (the whole screen was changing colours tint 5 times a second) until I rebooted!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no need to be aggressive i'm trying to figure what to do with mine too but when i go to retail, and i open 4 sealed just arrived boxes and they all turned out with flex plus the two units that i bought few days before are reported flexing by their owners, you can't blame me! i see more chance to get it flexing than not! which makes a major hastle to find a good unit, let alone ending up with flickering screen unit because you couldn't stand some flexing, different build countries and different serial source, region, color and they all flex!

man i have the exact same left side issue, but the screen is gorgeous now purest white i have ever seen on a mobile screen ever, everything else is perfect

try to change HTC skin to "matte" the stock skin has too yellow in the grey graphics!

if you people can confirm that some One X samples has zero flex or creaking in the screen i.e: totally rigid! ill return mine

i have HT24 with flex!

first Chinese i bought had a scratsh under the gorilla glass

guys i really have 7 samples to tell you:

color, country, serial numbers are all unrelated to this!

please rephrase? you mean we can't fix it right?
[HTC One X] ayan15:
hamdir.. so your yellowish tint screen now become white after using sometime? cause im comparing with my sensation its still yellowish after 6 days.. by the way, no creaking in mine.. but there is flexing when push harder.. no problem about that cause i will not do that usually..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
flex or lcd ripple? mine is white pure now! lovely to say the least

keep in mind all of you the stock HTC skin has yellow in the graphics, try the matte skin
[HTC One X] myself11:
Mine too. Not as white as Hamdir's unit :/ Check my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25084850&postcount=60
[HTC One X] foresttree1:
i noticed that if i shake the phone i can hear a rattling sound a the sim card location. Does anyone else have this problem?? It is also causing me receive the no service message quite often.:confused::confused:
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
There's a thread on this already not a defect.
[HTC One X] JoeM01:
interesting to see all the variances in build quality. my only experience with HTC in the past was an AT&T Tilt, and that thing was a ****ing tank. Heavy as hell, but man was it well made. Only real issue was the garbage OS (Window's Mobile Pro 6).
[HTC One X] foresttree1:
Thanks for the info;)
[HTC One X] ayan15:
sorry i dont know the difference between ripple and flex.. but my whole screen is yellowish than my old sensation.. is it same with you hamdir.. i read somewhere that it will be white sometime?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Guys my screen after a whole week is now pure white, gorgeous

ripple is when you press hard on outer edges you get an lcd ripple effect, on my unit its very hard to make happen n I don't really think its an issue

flex is a problem with the glass lamination glue being uneven at one point and pushes the gorilla glass out, this is by far the main issue with one x, when I opened my one x I saw dust on the left side gap, there is a gap and left edge of screen was a little soft

I wouldn't really mind it a lot except its collecting dust and I worry it ends up under the glass since the glue us obviously imperfect

I made some trials about this if I press hard it sticks but comes out later, then I ran glowball and when the battery arrived to 43degree the screen became rigid again on its own

I fear the issue has to do with the polycarbonate expanding with heat the outer metal rim being strongly attached to the frame with the weakest element being the glue

keep in mind most issues seem related to first week if use, things start to get better for some reason, like for example now it rarely heats glowball on charger never crossing 43deg but I'm not using sense launcher anymore so dont know if related
[HTC One X] Ariozo:
Had few problems with 2/4 hox i bought and i did return them and waited a bit, took out HT24 and seems i either had good luck or that they have fix some problems. As for now i don't have any off the problems on the 2 i did get.. :)

Everything works great on them and not any off the hardware/software problems some people have reported.
[HTC One X] ayan15:
thanks hamdir... but the screen flicker in gray color still remains?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Mate I never had screen flicker...
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Have to agree with this. Some of you guys are just unlucky
[HTC One X] empyyy:
Yellow tint appeared after 3 weeks in the bottom left corner. Before that, everything was fine. White taiwanese phone.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what??? :eek:
[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
Yup, people posting here are a very small minority indeed. No issues on mine too (first batch phone got it on April 4)
[HTC One X] erikramossalapong:
same issue

I got mine about a couple of weeks ago and im having the same issue, on the top right of the handset near the front camera, I can also feel the space between the unibody and the glossy metal base for the screen. Mine is made in taiwan HT24.
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
Maybe I bought from a new batch..no problem here so far..
[HTC One X] _JM_:
Im on my third One X now and its already got a loose screen again.

is there any way HTC can refund me? Its time I moved on to the S3 I think
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Did you buy it from HTC? I think if you want a refund, you should go to the place you handed over your money.
[HTC One X] _JM_:
Unfortunately I purchased mine on Ebay, but its my third device :mad:

hi.i`ve installed cm7.2 rc1 and i`ve faced very strange thing and i don`t know what should or what can i do?? my display drains average 70 percent of battery and it`s in most of the times! and it doesn`t matter that i install a sense rom or an aosp rom!! please help me! i post a screenshot from battery use part of my cyanogen rom!:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
click on the display bar and see the screen on time...

the display is supposed to use the most battery...

we can't help the basic laws of physics. --> screen on = battery use :eek:

if you want to save a little more, turn the brightness down. if you want to go to extremes use dark themes (if amoled)

if you don't want the display to use battery, don't turn it on :cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rares1235:
I don't think it's something wrong with your phone , as I can see. For me , the screen is the biggest consumer, too. But when have you taken that screenshot ? Is that for about 14 minutes after you've turned it on ? Because if it's so, it's normal that the display is the first consumator .. in 14 minutes since you have turned the phone on, the screen was detected as a primary consumator. Try letting it set for a while.. make some phone calls , browse the web and untick the automatic brightness (you should set it manually at about 30%). Then check it again and tell us if something changed. Good luck !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
i don`t know what do you mean! your said is correct but not about 79 percent and not with such battery drain!! in cm7 i use only about 5 hours with wifi and it gets empty! is it right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
ok.i got it. could you please answer this question too? it doesn`t matter that you install a sense rom or a aosp rom.is it ok that in both of theme display consums more that other processes? and what is the best way to calibrate my battery?a way that works with battery calibrator for nexus one doesn`t work for me!it doesn`t reach to 3201 mv and suddenly it turns off(without shutting down animation!. what can i do to calibrate my battery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
thanks for your replying.but after 54 minutes and talk to someone still displayes consums 78 percent!is it okay!! can i trust to a software named lux to adjust the light to best level? sorry for my bad english.english isn`t my primary language!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
and how can i find out that my phone has slcd or amoled screen?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rares1235:
I think it's better to set it manually because if you set it to automatically the light sensor will permanently be on and that drains your battery too. I've used Die Hard Battery script to clear the logs of the baterry and now i have 70% battery for about 15 hours :> (and i can tell you it is a normal use - games,a little internet and phone calls) . For the question about the sense/aosp rom.. the screen is on for both of the roms, isn't it ? :) This is NOT about theme, this is about the display/screen. To see if it's slcd of amoled, look on the back of the box and see if it is "3.7 inch amoled" or "3.7 touch-sensitive screen". It was a difference in hboots too, but I can't remeber..

Look at my screenshots and hit Thanks if helped. Good luck!

EDIT: here's the Die Hard Battery Calibrator (if you use this, it should be ok after the 2nd charge and after some reboots, just let it set for a while.. in the next few hours after the calibration, the battery will discharge quite quickly ;) ) : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
thanks.can you upload your pics in another site?i can`t see your screenshots! and should i reflash my rom again?or there is no need?? and how can i use that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rares1235:
You don't have to flash the rom again. You have to download it and run the script with ScriptManager app (or in terminal emulator) ..search for some instructions on the link I gave to you.. ;) Good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
On this example, see that Awake bar? That's basically the time your phone is running although you have the screen off. If you have a lot of apps that are constantly updating or if you have poorly programmed apps, those will run and will not let your phone sleep thus more battery usage.

If the Awake bar is significantly greater than the Screen on bar, then you have a problematic app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
should i use this script every time or when my battery calibrated then i can use another script like super charger?
