Is this post dead? I'm having some issues with the Xperia Pro Ultima, and I don't have 10 posts either. From time to time shows a popup with notification sound that brings "Operator Service Name - Province(State in my case) - Area Code" and it's very annoying because happens a lot. I hope someone can help me please. Sorry my bad english by the way. Thanks

As per the title?
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
I've read a lot about people who have returned their phones. I thought it would be handy if we had one thread where people could state if they have returned their phone, why it was returned and how many devices they have been through.

I have sent mine back today. Dial a Phone said they would send a prepaid 'Special Delivery' envelope, however they only sent first class. :mad: I won't be able to track it now.

It was sent due to the screen flickering as I have mentioned in the other thread.

Hopefully it will be the first and last time I have to do so.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Same as OP. Sent today pre paid envelope to DAP for same reasons. White model made in Taiwan. Screen strobing on greys on all brightness levels.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Sent an exchange request to Affordable Mobiles (screen ripples and strobing), won't surprise me if they take days to respond and then ask me to pay for postage :mad:
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Did you get a prepaid special delivery envelope or was it prepaid first class?

Wonder what the turn around on this will be. Hope it will be here before Thursday as it's getting delivered to my Dads and he's off on holiday for a week.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Pre paid first class, however I paid for SD as didn't want to risk losing it.

Check your DAP account under my messages. I've already got a message from them couple of days ago saying order process has been delayed until tomorrow. Guess they are just awaiting arrival of phone sent today before dispatching new one.

I'm just returning from Carphone Warehouse's store where I returned my One X for a refund. Yesterday I got the first one I bought replaced, just to find a little bit later that the replacement exhibits the same screen flickering / banding / glitches issues as the first one. What really pissed me off with the replacement was that in addition half of its sensors were broken:

* Panasonic 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor

* Panasonic Orientation sensor

* Panasonic Rotation Vector

* Panasonic Liner Acceleration

* Panasonic Gravity

So the guys at Carphone Warehouse were kind enough to immediately issue me a refund, but what really amazed me is that they acted as if I was just the most unlucky person in the world and they have never heard of anyone else having those issues.

The moral from this - I just didn't want to waste my time any more hoping and waiting for the dreaded HTC firmware update.
[HTC One X] matw01:
I have asked to return mine and am awaiting a returns envelope from phones4u to send it back in, however the phone was dropped yesterday and has scuffed the casing so waiting to here if this will cause a problem with the return as per this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602217
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Just called and spoken to them, as soon as the phone is recieved in the warehouse a new one is dispatched straight away.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Nice so we could potentially have it on Wednesday if they use the same SD.

returned my one x back ! will wait for the next galaxy to come out, till then galxy nexus will do the job !
[HTC One X] Goku80:
had two white one x's. two were having the creaking noise. the other one had the power button loose and the other one had software issues. got me a grey one today and this is the third one. so far this one feels more solid than the other two i had. came close each time to going for the galaxy nexus but i thought maybe third time lucky....so far so good and i am glad i kept this
[HTC One X] audioslim:
My OneX arrived back at buymobilephones.net this morning for non-working g-sensor and they say its working fine!!.

I did everything to try and get it working and it suddenly starts once it goes back!.

Not impressed with that for a start.

Just returning my 2nd hox from three UK (grey) model.

1st HTC one x was dead on arrival, not charging or turning on.

2nd HTC has screen flickering and all usual bugs, intermittent graphic anomalies, coloured bars on left while using camera, browser distorted graphics in top bar and weird box in middle of screen, sense reloading constantly even with 2 factory resets.

Phoned HTC and they said they new of no problems or bugs with one x and no updates coming. Very worrying. 3rd handset on way, last chance HTC then over to galaxy III.
[HTC One X] jlegrange:
Now getting my third handset tomorrow. All been white.

1st phone. Shocking battery life.

Second phone. Hairline crack, screen flicker, screen glitches
[HTC One X] Havoc2k:
my second one comes this week to. (display backlight jumping)

just wonder whats about the dropbox space, every phone another 23gb? did you try to pump up another account? ;)
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
What's the number mate?
[HTC One X] CaveManDave:
Currently holding the One S, no issues yet, battery life seems to be great. Get my One X tomorrow, man I got my fingers crossed it will be ok, going to upload a vid comparing them I will link it here, fingers crossed no issues... god I am hoping lol

Ere u go , HTC UK.

[HTC One X] Delusphere:
So if my phone is doing all of these I should return it:

1. Has a flickering screen

2. Flash makes everything yellow on camera

3. Browser UI is glitching up on me with graphical distorts

4. Battery dies in 20mins of use

5. Keyboard moves me to random places while I type

Yes or no?

Sounds like most of you are getting nowhere returning them all the time. And it sounds like some of you are getting shoddy repair jobs done that are breaking the phone even more.

Logic tells me to get a refund and wait untill a model that works is released and buy the phone again. I love this phone too :(
[HTC One X] voigty:
Just sent my white HTC one x back to buymobilesdirect as it had screen corruption under touch pressure, fantastic phone apart from that.

Will have my new one on wednesday, fingers crossed!

I bought GTA 3 and showdowgun will I be able to redownload for free or am I going to have to pay for them again??

[HTC One X] ayan15:
My only problem was screen flicker.. battery ok, case ok.. yellowish tint but not a problem.. gap was ok.. my problem here in saudi arabia was the mobily network who exclusively distributing one x was denying to swap my HOX! Rather want me to arrange with htc care.. htc care from my location is from east to west of the map of saudi..
[HTC One X] m60kaf:
I had what looked like a hair between digitiser and LCD. About 20mm up from bottom 10mm from left screen edge.

Was about 3-5mm long and unlike a scratch was visible with screen on - very annoying on white background like kindle.

Sent back for replacement on day I received from 3. New one has a dot in exactly the same place - I wouldn't even have noticed if it wasn't for original scratch - I can live with that one.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Replacement number 3 - Back to the nice pure white, bright screen I had in the first one but any pressure on either side of the screen and it clicks, flexes and screen colours distort badly. Another HT23 in grey from Taiwan.

Contacted 3UK (again) and said they would deal with it but had to give the details to the Customer Concerns department and said allow 24/48 hours for someone to get in touch.

Here we go again.......
[HTC One X] hamdir:
again taiwan
[HTC One X] Victor.S:
Went to replace my 2nd One X today because of flexing screen (not too bad), flickering and yellow spot plus yellow tint on left side, I have a white white screen :). The One X that the store guy got for me was even worse. Very bad flexing and a lot of distortion. Once hard pressed it would lock though... I also didn't want that one so they ordered me another one. It will be in friday.

My 4th One X better be good. If this one isn't good i'm going to sell it and wait on the Galaxy S III. Don't like it but HTC leaves me no choice.

-edit: All 3 that I got my hands on Taiwan, 1st was HT23, second and third (the one I didn't took) HT24. Hope my next will be HT25.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
thats it i'm looking for a chinese one, lol last week i was refusing it if made in china
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
My flicker is returning :(
[HTC One X] Victor.S:
I'm hoping I will get a Chinese one but don't think my chances are high. Almost all phones sold in the EU are Taiwan-made.

I'll keep replacing if I don't get a good one. PISSES ME OFF HTC!! /rage

Also feel a bit bad for the retailer, although they get all their money back from HTC.

I also think this will be my last HTC phone...

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I have found out that a factory reset will get rid of the flicker for the remaining battery charge. I think it can be fixed with a firmware update. If it is a hardware issue HTC is in deep sh*t, a lot of people are suffering from it.
[HTC One X] pastey:
2nd device now has flicker, ordered the 3rd last chance for me will be jumping to sgs3 otherwise (even tho I hate touchwiz)
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
Hello,

Eight days after my first HOX, here is my feedback.

First Phone: grey, HT24, Taiwan had the following:

-very thin gap between screen bezel and policarbonate body (left side) that got wider when heated (thanks Hamdir...) and allowed slight screen flex accompanied by an annoying creaking;

- yellowish spot top left; yellow tint screen;

- out of the box wi-fi connectivity problems (dropouts from free networks and those secured with WPA/WPA2 proptocol - including after 1.28 update);

Replacement phone (got on Saturday morning) SAME BATCH, HT24 - NONE of the above (so far and I get the feeling there will be no issues ... )

- tight build, heated the battery in glowball to 63.5 celsius - no gap!

- nice white screen;

- wifi fine, excellent reception out of the box (tested in same places as before)

Comparing, battery life seems the same;

Have flickering of adds but not of the screen;

I think (sorry I didn't keep any statistics) that heating was worse on the first phone;

I am eagerly waiting a little more before unlocking, hoping for a ROM with clock speed of max 1.2 Ghz (or choosable), Sense Lite (just for the camera), etc...

Anyway, after chatting with HTC support on Friday, I got like one email with suggested fixes, two emails for customer feedback and one phone call for the same reason. If Htc would invest less in customer feedback and more in QC I'm sure lots of us would feel both happier and safer with their device.

Me?, just love my HOX...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
congrats mate, what do you mean flickering of adds? of google ads? normal

my returned one was grey Taiwan ht242, i'm glad to hear good ones can be had from the same batch, the one i returned had glue remains in the gap and glue remains in the usb port, also had dirt under the screen sticker!!!

this is very simple, like you said QC is shipping unacceptable phones

we are not sure why this is happening, but im pretty sure its the rush
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
Yes ,google adds flickering, didd't know that was normal. On my "late" Desire S I had custom roms with disabled adds and/ or don't remember flickering.

Speaking of QC, my Desire S, made in Taiwan, built in March 2011 (so first batch) had a huge gap between the screen bezel and the aluminium unibody (you could stick two sheets of paper in all the way to the motherboard!)

Being ordered from the UK, the vendor offered to exchange it but I just felt I couldn't part with it for another two or three weeks so I sent it to the repair center here, complaining about the above mentioned issue. Guess what? Two days later, I get the phone back with the statement, i quote " ... the issue you mentioned in your complaint is not regarded as a hardware manufacturing defect..."

So I just used black silicone gasket to gently fill in the gap and 30' later and still one year later, not a single problem, phone ran like a dream, flashed it hundreds of times (maybe exagerating...)

Like now, then I was flooded with emails and surveys from Htc customer support.

I think they rushed the HOX into production to get 2 to 3 months of "best product out there" before Samsung (the only worthy android competitor in my oppinion) comes up with something better.

The same thing happened with the Desire S, they wanted to get some Easter sales and push it on the market before the dual core hysteria started...

Just my two cents, but I see a nice future for my Htc One X at least for the yaer coming...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you think i would mind such gap? its the screen being loose that is the problem

but what you said kinda of proves htc is shipping them, knowingly, considered acceptable

but this is not how you fight apple...
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
I'm having a replacement couriered to me on Friday. I'm gutted that it's going to be replaced because it's perfect...apart from the haptic feedback not working on the screen and softkeys!

I might get one of the dodgy ones with the flickering screen, shoddy-fitting casing, yellow tints or whatever other multitude of problems that people have reported! :(
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
I'm exchanging mine tomorrow due to the flickering
[HTC One X] MeestaSnake:
I got my replacement One X today from Chitter Chatter, fast turnaround as I only sent it back on Monday. Weirdly, it came back in the very same box that I sent the faulty one in along with the same headphones (in torn bag) and with the old phone's serial no sticker for repair. More worringly, the box had been damaged and kind of caved in one one side so I made sure to show that to the postman. Checked the serial number of the phone just to verify it was indeed a replacement and thankfully no yellow spots or other issues! Antutu and Quadrant scores are higher with this phone too (HT23 white)

I am so glad to have a One X again, I really missed it..
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Have you got repair stickers for the new phone? Make sure you have as you might need those in case it ever has to go to HTC for repair.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Has anyone who has sent their phone to HTC heard anything yet?
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Called them this morning and they have it since yesterday but could not tell me anything other than that. Am gonna call again Monday for an update!
[HTC One X] simp147:
So my 2nd One X came today. The notification LED shines all the way through to the back of the phone and I get a nice orange or green glow all the way through to the back of the phone around the SIM tray and above the camera.

Back it goes.

Sorry forgot to add it's a White HT24.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Okay good, mainly wanted to make sure they were getting them okay. As annoying as it is I am hoping the repair takes it's time to ensure whatever is going on behind closed doors with the screen flickering/flex, is passed down to repair.

Last thing we need is another LCD screen slapped in it, and the same problems on our end a few days later.

Jeez oh it's never-ending. Don't think I could play the exchange lottery (well I never got a choice as Affordable Mobiles are a terrible retailer), I'd most likely recommend anyone on a 3rd/4th phone send for repair now. Unless of course you can still cancel and return - That's a no brainer at this point if you can.
[HTC One X] simp147:
So annoyed, because it's perfect apart from this. :mad:
[HTC One X] tku137:
Got mine replaced a week ago. It rebooted everytime the screen gone off and a couple of minutes after keeping it on by using it.

After replacement everything is quite perfect. I only had the notification-icon-glitch once, but not a second time and I guess (hope) after 1.28 update I will never again ;-)

I would have thought the only way to fix the issue I have with the yellow and blue spots\line was to replace the LCD??
[HTC One X] hamdir:
now that i had time with my new HT243 grey i found only two tiny issues that are fine with me

a semi dead pixel in almost the middle of the screen, thankfully only apparent in angled view on white background, im trying to cure if i, unless its just a speckle in the glue

and imperfections to the soft finish beneath the screen, like imperfect spraying, only visible in certain lighting, also has a scratch in the same area
[HTC One X] bounty123:
I'm on my 3rd device now, getting the 4th next week - they went out of stock so I must wait for the next shipment.

1. The first one had a manufacturing defect, the led light was also visible on a spot between the case and the screen. (no pixel error thoug, I regret changing it now, this defect was not so dramatic)

2. Pixel error

3. Pixel error

4. This time I will test the phone in the shop, and won't leave with a pixel error screen...
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
That's true, I'm focussing on screen flicker, which may be GPU related.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
alright..........so im on the latest OTA for asian WWE. I'm in the US with AT&T, got this One X thru a trade on craigslist.

I did that battery test recommended by HTC...........i'm at 58% with 45 minutes of screen on time. Clearly messed up.

I also have the flicker on light grey colors.

What should I do? I don't know the original seller, nor would it help since I don't have receipt or anything. Should I just contact HTC and call them up? You think i'd have to wait like 3 weeks?

Edit: Or many i'll try flashing a custom ROM and seeing if it solves battery, but according to the test. It's hardware.

Or I wait till the AT&T One X comes out and hopefully trade for it haha......be relieved of all these int'l one x problems

Edit2: It's also overheating I think. Or something on the homescreen is making it run at full power. Just left it sitting on the homescreen, it hit 58 degrees celsius..........you think a widget was causing it or something? or the background? I had the dark grey one with a few colored lines as my wallpaper.
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
Has anyone done a replacement with dialaphone. What is there turn around like. Mine isn't good with GPS/compass. So want to know how long I have to wait for my phone.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Sent mine back on a Monday, had new handset on Friday.
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Exchanged today, got ht23xx11xxx. The volume buttons are a bit loose. Too early for the flicker test
[HTC One X] Wizxt:
Tried to replace it today because it has a yellow band at the bottom of the screen.

Shop wouldnt accept it because it was past the 7 day return policy. After that i went to the HTC repair center, they told me sending it in for repair has no use because it would get send back w/o being repaired (Dynafix, Netherlands). The salesman told me there is no solution for the yellow spots yet...

phone is a ht23.
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
it has been 10 days and I am still waiting for HTC to ship out my replacement

Return of my HTC One x

My black HTC One X arrived yesterday. I've called and arranged for a doorstep swap via Tesco Online Shop for this coming Monday.

My reason for return doesn't seem to be listed on this forum by anyone else:

The phone gives every indication that its charged up and powered on - with the exception that the actual screen doesn't power up. The 3 bottom soft keys light up, the phone makes the start-up jingle and makes the relevant volume control noises when I press it. Just no screen power.

So, hopefully I will get a working handset next time.

EDIT: The handset is HT24
[HTC One X] d33f:
I tried to replace mine because of the yellow spots, but all replacement phones had yellow spots lol even worse than my unit T_T

[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Got my phone back from HTC this morning. Charging it up again.

It seems (if it's definitely the same handset) they've replaced the screen. So far it looks like a good job, it's absolutely solid. No screen creaking and pushing the bottom corners doesn't make it move a little like my last did.

Reports on screen flickering and screen distortion once it's charged. *Fingers crossed* :D

edit: I do have to say their return packaging is flimsy. My phone was rattling about. There's no visible damage physically however.
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Good to hear you got it back mate! Are there any scratches on the camera lens?

Cheers,

M
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I had completely forgot about them! No! :D Either HTC have replaced pretty much everything or it's a different handset. I'll know soon, I just want to fully charge it per instructions and advice.
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Cool, did the one you send in have scratches on the camera lens??
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Yeah, Affordable Mobiles sent it back to me with some scratches on it after deeming it didn't need exchanged :rolleyes:

The phone had that 'new smell' off of it, but I do think it'll just be the same phone with new internals. Otherwise my IMEI #/Serial # would be different and HTC as you know don't give you new packaging as you only send them the phone.
