I went to the shop today to get a replacement, so I could try them before swapping.. after a hour of trying multiple units I gave up, because every single phone had either yellow spots or screen flickering.. at the end my own phone (which I tried to replace) was still the less affected unit when I comes down to yellow spots and flickering..

I'm amazed (in a bad way)today by how many units are really affected, because I could check it out in real life instead of reading comments around here
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Just sent mine back today because of yellow spots, back to HTC for repair that is. I do hope they can fix it. I had a blue bar\spots above the yellow spots\bar that ran across the top of the screen :-(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guys i never seen this flickering in all the units i tried in here, do u mean the slight very slight flicker on the gradient background? if so its not flickering its the graded background conflicting with the animation, which seems to have a slight vsync kind of flicker, but genuine screen i never seen, i usual test by looking at the snow+sun image in the gallery on all brightness settings

yellow spot give it a week and give up on it, never seen this bad yellow spot, only slight yellowness/uneveness that went away after a week
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
That yellow spot way worse than the one I had....I would not accept that at all at all and I doubt very much it will go away mate!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
pretty clear htc is struggling as hell with screen lamination...sigh

i just dont get how do they end up getting shipped in this state...its disturbing

by the way i really been following every comment in here and china is getting less complaints :eek:

im hunting a chinese unit
[HTC One X] d33f:
All tested units had screen flex

Furthermore i noticed that all the units i have tested in the store today had the exact same screen flex/LCD ripple in the middle of the screen on the left side :(

It's quite sad that non of the tested phones were flawless(i tested different one X's for a whole hour)
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Can I tell from the box where mine was manufactured?? That is all I have now as the phone is gone back to HTC.....

Cheers,

M
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
from what i've heard, the taiwan ones start with ht and the china ones the serial starts with sh

should have serial on the box
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
You can tell from the paper band that the box slides into, it should tell you your model number (like HT23/24) and where it was made.
[HTC One X] matw01:
I finally got my returns package from phones4u on Saturday and posted it off that day, went on there on-line chat today to see if they had received it only to be given a tracking number for city link.

Turns out my phone was out for delivery today, shame im not at home to receive it.

Hope this ones perfect!
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Just received mine ht24 from Taiwan. Going straight back because of a yellow splodge in top left of screen
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Mine is HT23.....so what does that mean kind sirs??
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Don't think Affordable Mobiles will be giving any of you an exchange. Just got my handset back with a note attached saying it's the same handset, returns team found no faults...

Now what do I do, spend another £5 waiting on the CS or try going directly to HTC. Wish I had a time machine, this order with this company from day 1 has been a complete disaster.

I sent it away for a faulty power button, the screen flex/distortion, AND the flickering on greys.

To rub salt into my wounds even more I've received it back with some scores on the camera lens that weren't there before.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
complain to HTC - they're aware of the problem (with flicker at least). HTC offered to me that if i had trouble getting a replacement from the retailer that they would be happy to give them a call for me. Ask HTC if they can call affordable mobiles to set em straight.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I've sent HTC an email asking if they would do the repair/exchange. I didn't say to call them because I didn't know they would prior to emailing :P I now know though for when HTC get back to me if they don't suggest that option themselves - I gave the retailers name and website in my message to them at least.

The only 'issue' I have with going to HTC is my phone is unlocked, but these are clearly hardware issues and if I need to fight a case I'll try a plea on 3 skipping OTA 1.28 and me wanting to see if I could cure my screen flickering with a 1.28 rom ;)

After 30 days repairs have to be done through HTC anyway as opposed to the retailer, if I need to wait another 15 days or so, so be it.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
use the live chat, much quicker :)
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
That's unbelievable! The next thing I'd be sending them would be a letter from a solicitor!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Can't seem to get it working right now, when I click chat, the page loads, a pop up appears quickly and disappears and I'm left with a blank chat window. Will try turning off adblockers in a minute.

Don't know if I could bothered with that hassle, but yeah, very poor. Especially when you see people exchanging handsets 2, 3 and 4 times no hassle, a simple exchange.

This is within (or was) 7 days of sale as well.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Live chat is working now. HTC are going to do a repair for me, they don't do exchanges. The CS rep has all the details and is raising the repair on the system now - Takes him 5 mins he says.

To fix the screen flex and flickering I don't see how they can 'repair' the handset anyway, will most likely be a new one :p

HTC are even arranging a courier to come pickup the phone, I thought that part would be at my expense.

Very happy with the service so far, let's hope they can fix my phone.
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
They sent a courier for mine too. Where is the Live chat link mate??
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
http://www.htc.com/uk/contact/ - Chat online!

All arranged now, collection tomorrow. I won't hear anything till it's being shipped back, but I was told if I contact through chat online I can get a repair update.

Now to put my recovery back to default. I re-locked the phone, and put the 3 nandroid backup back on before sending it to AM, but I left custom recovery - Thought AM probably won't check that :P

Does anyone know where I can get the default HTC recovery? It's the same for all the phones right?
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Flash the three RUU to get t back to proper stock.

I wonder If i can go direct to htc myself.
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
I unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev.com but never re-locked it before sending it back (I did do a factor reset though as I was running a custom ROM)!? I asked on the development thread here but no one would give me a straight answer how to re-lock the bootloader and flash the stock RUU.....as it's a fault with the hardware (the screen) I should be OK....right??
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Does that do the recovery though? My phone looks like 3 stock right now, as I installed my backup of the original phone through Clockworkmod and then flashed the original HBoot (it has the 3 startup logo/ect).

Only thing that looks suspect is Clockworkmod now :P

If someone has a link to the Three RUU I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks.

As my phone is going directly to HTC I really hope it's possible to get a handset without flickering/screen distortion/flex. As HTC haven't officially spoken about the issues though I am slightly worried about their repairs centre actually being aware of/being able to do anything???

Online chat took the screen distortion in corners and screen flickering fine though, without question, but if a customer is wanting a repair I guess you'll happily take any symptoms within reason.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

You (we) should be okay, when HTC get the phone they wipe it with a factory update anyway (probably won't even turn the phone on to see a custom rom beforehand anyway). I just wanted to do it for peace of mind.
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
I think it will flash stock recovery - flashing an RUU did that on my HTC desire.

Three RUU here:

http://dl.dbank.com/c0bc38z0mg

Let us know how you get on with your repair.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
You can confirm that is definitely for 3 UK on the HTC One X? Just seems a little suspect downloading from a chinese site :P

Also does the bootloader need to be unlocked for flashing a RUU, just relocked mine there.

Thanks
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Yeah I thought it looked dodgy but some linked to that and an o2 one in the chat room linked to this forum- I downloaded it the other day for a look and it is deffo an ruu . Not flashed it on mine but it will fault if its not a three one.

You need to re-lock to flash an ruu.
[HTC One X] MarylandCookie:
^Do you have the link to the O2 one?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
How do you download? All the chinese is making my head spin haha. It seems like you need an account?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

It needs an account, used the top one here - http://www.bugmenot.com/view/dl.dbank.com
[HTC One X] Goku80:
just restore your backup mate and flash through fastboot stock recovery. then lock bootloader and send it back.

i want to flash OTA update when that comes out..I am using a custom rom based on 1.28. i have stock recovery now as we speaking. but i have my backup and restored it today and when i did i had the 3 bootanimation and all the apps that came with the box. all i needed to do was flash stock recovery and lock phone and that is it...so rather than flashing a whole RUU just revert back to your backup flash stock recovery and that is it..

someone correct me if i am wrong here though
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I keep getting USB errors when running the RUU. (error 170)

Tried whilst the phone is booted into the OS, and also tried in fastboot USB.
[HTC One X] djsimon:
I'm on my second HTC one x and I can see a huge difference this phone is faster than my last one louder the power button has a responce and dose not feel stiff. No screen flicker and best of all 80% battery usage in 16 hours with WiFi always on GPS for 2 hours while cycling using map my ride and playing music then using to text and call the wife and does not heat up now either stays very cool even during heavy usages..
[HTC One X] fastphil:
Just received my second hox a grey one this time first was white had screen flicker this one no flicker so far but went in to use the camera and had like static in the vue finder but restarted phone and now away will keep a eye on it over the next few days
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Got the RUU working, I can confirm that is the 3 UK RUU.

Phone now 'bomb proof' packaged up, and ready to be collected tomorrow.
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Just out of interest do you know where the phone is being shipped to? Did they give you a turn around time.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Yeah it's going to UK repair centre (Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire). Can take up to a week.

edit: When checking the address in the email I noticed I need a copy of proof of purchase, bugger!!!!!! PITA to open my package back up but I'm soo glad you asked me this question! :O
[HTC One X] empyyy:
I had the luck and received a perfectly fine unit (HT23 white) with no problems at all and great battery life (around 30 hours with 3 hours screen-on time). However, after 3 weeks of usage, i noticed screen flex and an extremely small yellow spot in the left bottom (around 1mm diameter), which is not a big deal for me. But yesterday evening suddenly the vibration motor stopped working and i wanted to have it replaced by my local dealer today - who refused that and told me to contact HTC. Later that day, I accidentally dropped the phone and guess what? Right, the vibration motor started working again!

Now my question: would you still send it in or wait for the next problem? :p
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Having 3rd phone delivered tomorrow from 3UK, documented faults earlier in the thread but 1st - perfect then noticed yellow dot bottom right and felt as though screen was lifted slightly bottom right corner, 2nd - yellow tint on screen, dull, washed out colours. 3rd.....well, i'll let you know tomorrow!
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Mine sent to the same place in UK, based in Dublin here. I did not send proof of purchase as I don't have it!

Cheers,

M
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I wouldn't mind seeing their proof of quality control!
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Same here ;-)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Email says you need it, but hopefully you get on okay. When did you send yours in again?

And what was it getting fixed for?
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
Sent this morning because of yellow spots arranged in a line with a blue line above that, both clearly viewable with a white\cream screen!

Sent two Sensations back last year due to dust under screens and never needed receipt even though it said it on the e-mail as well. I think after this I will never buy a HTC again...just way way too many issues!!

Cheers,

M
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
It's a shame because I quite like Sense and this hardware has the potential to be pretty well tuned by devs on here. Shame the build quality screams of rushed rushed rushed.

Guess that's what happens when Samsung are about to wipe out everyone else's media coverage.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Update on my HT24. The yellow spot seems to have disappeared thankfully. Will be keeping a close eye on things to ensure no other problems arise but right now it looks like I may have a keeper :-)
[HTC One X] EmperorK:
About to call Vodafone tomorrow and ask for my third grey one x.

First one had scratches under the screen, flickering and scratches on the camera lens. And the soft buttons only illuminated in total darkness but not in dim light.

Second one has only half illuminated soft buttons at the bottom of the phone and gaps between the screen and casing.

I'm not sure whether to ask for a third one or a refund or choose a different phone. Problem is, touchwiz is just horrible to use and the sensation xe is just so damned expensive... Galaxy note?? Mye step all the way down to a desire hd and wait for a new batch of hox or a successor to the hox? I really want to keep using sense... What do I do?
[HTC One X] Menschik:
Go and try the phones out in real life and decide for yourself. Or simply wait for sgs3 :)
[HTC One X] ste1164:
If you can get a full refund go for that then wait for a bit to see what the sgs3 is like and see if better batches of one x's arrive.
[HTC Sensation] elspam99:
I have looked on various posts but cant seem to find an answer.

I recently upgraded to ice cream sandwich and no problems whatsoever. I upgraded through vodafone so my phone has never been rooted.

I dropped my phone yesterday and now wifi and bluetooth dont work. Do you think this could be hardware problem after dropping or software through updating to ice cream?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Likely from the drop IMO.
[HTC Sensation] spoks:
Check if Your WiFi doesn't hidden SID. Ice cream seems have bug and don't work with router if SID is hidden.

Don't know about Bluetooth. Mine is working.
[HTC Sensation] Sebastian768:
Same happened to me (Check my post). It was a small drop as well onto the table from my hand and it was in a case, so it should not have been an issue. If phones become THIS fragile, things are going to get messy.

BUT this has happened to non-dropped Sensations as well and I've found several related items just by using Google. It would seem the Sensation has issues with the antenna connection for BT and WIFI (they're together) . I got it fixed, no questions asked. This was not the first time they had to fix a Sensation they said.

Take a backup, factory reset, update, factory reset. Keep the mem-card and send it in.

BEWARE : I got the work list done with my phone. They changed the entire "flex board" unit. After about a week, this was totally fried. Googling yet again I found that the Sensation has this issue as well.

I'm currently waiting for the phone to return.

[HTC Rezound] zmhcreative:
Just wanted to introduce myself not only to the rezound forums but also to XDA. I've known of XDA for a long time and have downloaded many roms/kernels for my Thunderbolt through XDA - as well as used XDA as a good troubleshooting guide, or for just regular insight. I can't believe its taken me this long to actually join/post.

So I just got my Rezound about four days ago, and I love it! Coming from a Thunderbolt, it has a lot to it that feels right at home....but at the same time I can't be more impressed by screen, battery life (while on stock sense not so much), camera, audio quality, and the list goes on. I did love my Tbolt, but my Rezound is my new baby. I'm running Cleanrom Dev Ed (nonsense) and just yesterday I doubled my battery life with it - while still running 4G (what's the point if it was off?). I'm just so glad the support is picking up for this phone, it really is in my opinion one of the best on verizon, even if the galaxy nexus gets a lot (if not all) of the attention.

So anyways, you guys will surely see me around a lot shortly. As well as if anything is ever needed in terms of designs or anything, anybody can message me or contact me, I'm a pretty good graphic designer.

Oh and here's my current setup with Cleanrom, I love nonsense(or close to it).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Oxicottin:
hello, i started trying virtual assistants out like the iphones siri and since then my voice has been messed up. For example when i open my sms to text and want to use the voice it comes up but always with a red line threw it, and that goes for all the keyboards but if i have an app that has its own voice then that works. is something turned off in the google mic? thanks!

oh and in all stock no root....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nexendz:
Did you try installing google voice search first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Oxicottin:
what would google voice do? i installed an didn't fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Do you have a voice input set in settings? Go there to verify you've chosen a voice input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Oxicottin:
ok, i went into settings/applications/managed applications/all/voice talk and cleared cache and cleared data and now the voice works in my keyboards ..... something in the pre installed app "voice talk" seemed to goof something up. thanks!

Not google Voice, but google voice SEARCH.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJsCrIBbLe:
Its been awhile since I have browsed the sgs2 forums and I stop in and notice ics is all over here. So I'm thinking of upgrading my girls s2 to 4.0 and I want opinions and stability and function of the current roms.

I'm leaning towards aokp or cm9. I have cm9 on my note and a500 so I'm fond of it obviously.

Coming from gb rooted w/ cwm full wipe and good to go I assume? I ask because in the n7k forum the leaked kernals suck and there were all these stupid methods for going from gb to ics...

Anyway thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
Yup full wipe. I am not running either of those ROM's so cant comment on them. I have been following Task's AOKP thread. That may be the next one I try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
If you'd like to try a Samsung based rom, give ShoStock2 a try. It's the best I've ever tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Biporch:
Ultimatum and SHOstock are excellent. AOKP is pretty sweet too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brooktree:
ICS is well worth the upgrade :)

I've been running CM9 since the first nightly. I love it. Haven't had any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vidkun.torvald:
I've been running aokp for a few weeks and love it so far. It has been pretty stable and fast as hell. I'm sure things are even better in the latest build, but I haven't flashed yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Its like when GB became available and everyone was still on Froyo- once you open the desert and have a taste, your likely not gonna go back. And now that video recording is fixed- its all gravy baby :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Definitely go with AOKP, it's stable, fast, full of features, and rocks great battery life.

The only benefit of the Samsung ICS is MHL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
If MHL is a must, i think you're stuck with TW for now. My final choice was between aokp and cm9. Check the support/discussion threads, big difference...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJsCrIBbLe:
No need for MHL I just want a stable ics rom for her because her miui rom is buggy as heck.

Thanks guys ill keep watching the dev section. For me aokp and cm9 are really similar so it just comes down to battery life and stability which is different for each person.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LongDuckDong:
Aokp all the way baby, super stable and awesome battery. Way better than gb

I've been running CM9 since the first nightly. I love it. My phone feels brand new and I don't feel like upgrade it, except I want LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJsCrIBbLe:
Thanks everyone. I flashed aokp for the extra settings and customization. Its been super stable so far and battery is good but will be better once it settles. Might try siyah might not???

Anyone recommend a Better modem? Have you been getting batter with gb ones or ics ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
I'd go with CM9 nightlies simply because it's supported by ROM Manager which makes it ridiculously easy to flash new updates, which come very fast by the way...plus it's CM9. Good luck.
