Respectfully disagree but awesome sum up, that "This thread sounds like a Salem witch trial or the McCarthy hearings." was catchy gave me a good laugh, never had you for a pagan though.

But hey why not blame it all on Nvidia. :D

I would like to recommend you as the new spokesperson for HTC Universal.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I look forward to hearing what you have to report on the flickering :)

Here is proof

[HTC One X] saih:
2d hardware acceleration in apps (developer setting) seems to stick, live wall paper still stops between panel scrolling.

My former posts have claimed that the strobe-life-effect from the backlighting had disappeared (which I was sure of, edit: disappeared over the time I've had the phone), but the first thing I noticed after the update was the flickering :s.

edit: for proof
[HTC One X] ib3x:
For HTC sake and well being they are better working silently on a secret solution and fix it asap because it ain't my stock that's gonna go up in smoke otherwise.

"proof" finally uploaded, now installing :)
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
Ok let me put this straight. I don't work for HTC or any other mobile company and yes I am new to the forum. That does not mean new people are thick.

If you think I am protecting HTC you're wrong, all I am saying is if you feel HTC is not good and does not satisfy your needs than just don't buy one and I don't think there is something wrong with that. Its not like I offended to you or anything.

From my personal experience I currently have HTC Desire HD which was running 2.2 froyo when I bought it, had several updates and now has 2.3.5 Gingerbread which in my opinion is a software support better than any other company that I know of. They have now said that this device will also have Ice Cream Sandwich update and to me this is support. I have an expensive case for my phone which is nearly 2 years old and the phone hasn't even got a scratch and yes its been dropped with out the case. So from this experience I believe in my Opinion to me HTC is not the worse company out there. Phone still works perfect, good software support up to ICS to and that's it.

I also have GS2 and it took Samsung forever for an update and if I compare the two "plastic vs aluminium body" you can do the math.

Every company is having problems when releasing new products even apple and their new IPAD just search on internet and there is tons of problems.

Nothing is perfect but there is so many people who don't have issues with their ONE X and don't bother with reading forums and making comments because they don't care. This leaves the ones with the problems shine.

By the way all the sites who have reviewed this phone haven't mentioned any of the problems and there is at least more than 20.

Just visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25435705#post25435705 and you have tons of reviews of the One X.

Conclusion is that I am not saying buy a faulty handset and keep it but buy a handset from a company who you feel is better than others.
[HTC One X] joplayer:
Aahahahah HTC

You're doing it wrong...

The flickering is much much worst after this update !

Like twice more visible than before !

However battery was probably touched. I had 35 % before update, unplugged it immediately and now after boot I got 45% so maybe battery life will experience some improvements...

Anyway flickering is worst !

Gonna hardreset, we never know...
[HTC One X] Sl1ced Bread:
I have no idea on their salary, if it's bad then HTC should address it.

If their customer support just read from a script then it confirms my concerns that their customer service is substandard. Besides, the rep told me he had searched their CRM for previous issues of which there were none.

Yeah, just that, three replacement phones and their customer service response.

Yes maybe. But as they didn't acknowledge the issue and are not prepared to state that faulty phones will be replaced outside of the 28 days period IF it is a hardware issue, then I am not prepared to wait "just in case".

If the issue was resovled tomorrow, I still have the option to buy another, although at this stage I would not. Why? Well because I do not have any faith, if I have another issue further down the line.

Screen Flickering

You can count me in too as i have the same problem, i just got my device 3 days ago from Three uk and i notice the flickering on my device, it some how starts when is in low power.
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
Lets see what other people are reporting, two updates in 3 weeks means they are trying but if its still playing up just return it bro not worth the hassle. Get a new one and see how it does :)
[HTC One X] kilohercas:
get update 1.29.

Still same problem with flickering grey colour (but not back-light as many think they have back-light issues)
[HTC One X] Aja82:
Let us know if a hardreset fixes it!

Mine got worse after the update aswell sadly. More "intense" flickering now when I see it (such as the "play" app)
[HTC One X] joplayer:
Just made hardreset, didn't change anything
[HTC One X] Trev16v:
I can report a further two HTC One X devices that exhibit the flickering display issue. Mine, and a colleague’s at work.

I had my One X from Orange a few days ago (Thursday 26th) and I initially thought that my device was flicker-free. In fact, I also voted 'no' in the related poll thread. Since then I have realised that my phone indeed does have a flicker problem, particularly at low brightness. When using it in a dimly-lit room last night, I realised it was bad enough to warrant returning it, which I may unfortunately have to do.

This morning I had a look at a colleague's HTC One X which she reckoned was absolutely fine. I turned the brightness right down and, sure enough, hers shows exactly the same symptom. I therefore reckon that due to the nature and subtlety of the fault, you'll have a large number of people who will just never care or perhaps not actually realise that their device has an issue. I speculate that even if a large number of devices were affected, how many go back on RMA is probably going to be quite a minority.

The intermittency and behaviour of the flicker effect does suggest to me that it is somehow related to CPU and / or graphics controller load. If I scroll a grey-coloured preferences screen, the flicker manifests itself mainly during scrolling and sporadically immediately after the scroll has finished. I frequently notice it during or immediately after the device has done a large amount of graphical work. I now cannot help but notice that hefty graphical operations that HTC's Sense UI does, or the loading of an Activity into view, etc. always seem to have an unpleasant 'fuzzyness' about them - even at normal brightness.

Lovely device otherwise. I think I’ll return it and then obtain one again after the teething issues have been resolved. I like HTC stuff and love my Desire HD, so I'll happily go back to using that for a while.
[HTC One X] Sebianoti:
Since you have contact with HTC and they seem to be listening, why not ask them for source code? and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25407373&postcount=19
[HTC One X] mertzi:
I think you're right on all points. I've only tried two devices, my first (I'm waiting for my second one) and my sisters and it shows on both phones and how you describes it is exactly how it is for me. And my sister wont bother doing a DOA and I think that all ignorant happy-go-lucky customers won't look for flaws or bother to DOA if they find one.
[HTC One X] mobiler:
Guys & Gals,

Please check this out what I posted, a great way to notice the ugly flickering:

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
That's pretty funny. Here's something interesting. I just went through all the 15 pages of the update thread. There were only four posts that even mentioned the flickering. This doesn't seem as wide spread as people may think it is. We have devs working on this phone with 13,000 thanks. The Cyanogen team's working on it too. If it was as hosed as this thread would have people believe surely some of the top developers on XDA would be leading the charge *****ing about it. Sorry, but this thread is a vocal and (rightfully) pissed minority. I'm recommending to my friends who want to that it's OK to import the phone again. (Not that my endorsement means squat)
[HTC One X] lostunsunghero:
This was bugging me too. Surely if it were as widespread as some of the posts in this thread may lead you to believe it wouldve been documented not only by the Dev's that support the phone, but by major websites like engadget. Considering this phone is supposed to be one of the few "elite" phones coming out this year one would think there would be far more press coverage on this issue.

I can live with a "15%" chance of getting a dud phone because if i return it my next one will be 85% likely to be issue free.

EDIT: watch me get one after the other of dud phones now lol
[HTC One X] lexi1986:
I received 2 phones with screen flicker now. My new one I received didn't had it but after 2 days of use it also flickers :(
[HTC One X] HaTeC:
Updated to 1.29 : Flicker is not gone, they also changed the LCD DENSITY and the phone looks retarded now, everything is looks huge. They are really desperate.

Did anyone even ever complain about the LCD density? Why would they do this, unless they thought it would affect the flickering problem....

How do i change the LCD density without rooting?

Btw: Close your eyes after using the phone on full brightness : you can see the flickering still , similar to closing your eyes after looking at a bright light or camera flash.

Good going HTC. Give me a god damn new phone!!!!
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
No issues here, phone working perfectly (got it on Saturday, UK SIM-free)!

Now just waiting on the new OTA - anyone else complaining, exchange your phone or shut up! :p
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
How's the update going for everyone?

Has anyone with Orange with an Unbranded handset got the FOTA in the UK?
[HTC One X] mertzi:
That kind of no-complaints-mentality, do you think it ever in the history of man has been a driving force for progress or social improvements?

Its not that easy for everyone to just exchange and exchange. Especially when you, like me, have got it through contract. I sent my first phone back 3 weeks ago, havent got a new one yet. Thats with three sweden.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I didn't get it through contract, I bought the phone SIM-free (sold my Galaxy Nexus). All I'm saying is it's all well and good to complain but if you don't then look to exchange the handset then you forfeit your right to kick off a stink. In your case you ARE exchanging it so I wasn't talking to you - I was aiming at those complaining but are too lazy to look for a replacement handset

Exchange the handset if you're not happy with it - you're within your rights as a consumer to do so
[HTC One X] WarheadNOR:
Just updated to 1.29 and tried a fullscreen grey picture, no flicker what so ever, and i had it to a small degree before

[EDIT]

Actually, still there a little bit when at full brightness, but since i never have it on full, i didnt really notice it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
same here man, first one was flexing, second no flexing but imperfect metal rim around the screen and a speckle of dust under my screen, which looks like a dead pixel on angles it's mid screen too, everything is working perfect with white screen (don't mind either of them) and very good temperatures never crossed 50deg and no flicker so i'm teaching myself to accept it as is it

still for a 640$ device that i paid cash, its pretty damn annoying

i think ill just swap it in a month or two better then going into the cycle all over again
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Hey Hamdir, you didn't get flickering after update to 1.29?

If no then only people who already had it are experiencing worse results
[HTC One X] Colincompagny:
I had also this problem, but when on and traded off with a new one :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
still unable to update mate

french unit like my cousin's is getting it the first moment its out, my euro CID_016 just like the old didn'tt get the update, the old one did not receive any update up to four days after the 1.28 update was released

if i dont get it soon ill have to use RUU (when its available)

by the way the glitches seems fixed, my cousin reported the notification bug is gone
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Is this to do with alignment? I noticed my ring overlaps the flash slightly.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no i meant the metal rim around the screen have a noisy coating visible under reflections

What's funny is that denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
Hi everyone,

I'm sorry but I can't be bothered with reading all 56 pages of comments, I only read the first few and last few pages.

My One X also shows flickering on grey background when I downloaded and opened the "Dead pixel test" app. I'm not sure if it became less on 1.29, I can't tell the difference.

I asked a colleague of mine to download and run the app, and on his One X there seems to be no flickering.

I still hope that this is not a hardware issue, because I really don't want to lose my phone for weeks, and getting a new one straight away might be just a lottery ticket into some new problems (this is the only "problem" I'm having right now, apart from the not-so-good battery life).

Could it be a driver issue?
[HTC One X] twistedh:
ive just updated to 1.29 and the flicker is still present... cant decide if its worse or not. Time to exchange...
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I need some info from someone who has screen flicker on a rooted phone.

Could someone download Voltage Control or SetCPU from play and set the governor to interactive (it'll be ONDEMAND by default) and let me know if it has any effect on flickering.

Also, try fixing the CPU speed and see if that has any effect.

Make sure you set everything back to default afterwards.

If you choose to do this I thank you but you do so at your own risk.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I only get flickering on the web browser with battery around 50% or lower and a specific backlight level. It happens while the page is rendering causing spikes in CPU activity. I have noticed that when the battery gets very low, below 15%, the CPU is limited to 1Ghz instead of 1.5. At this point the flicker is still there but reduced. So for sure in my case, CPU and flickering are inter-related.
[HTC One X] BLAST3RR:
Mine started flickering on those grey loading screens after the 1.29 update.. :mad:

Before, it did flicker, but just once after I did something (open app, change view, etc).. So no constant flickering or whatsoever, not even on the grey screens.

Weird stuff.. I also have flexing (pretty bad). I will wait for now, and once they have their business sorted @ HTC, either bring it in for repair or have it replaced. :(
[HTC One X] louis.b:
Just wanna hop in to say that I think you're the most sensible commentor I've seen so far. :D
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
Just been chatting to HTC support about the flicker issue and they seem to know more information than ever before in my experience. Looks like we may hopefully be getting a resolution soon.

Luke: Hi Craig, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.

Craig Buck: thanks Luke

Luke: We are aware of this issue and have identified that it is a software issue,

Craig Buck: cool. I assume we are talking about the backlight flicker and not the image distortion on the camera

Luke: We are working on this update at the moment

Craig Buck: any idea when this will be fixed? Are we talking weeks or months?

Luke: that is correct, we are talking about the screen flicker

Craig Buck: excellent. Are we close to a fix?

Luke: Indeed we are, the update is in testing now

Luke: no current specific release date but we are working to release asap

Craig Buck: Brilliant news. It appears the 1.29 software release has not hit the UK yet, will this be part of it or a seperate relase?

Luke: This is the one

Luke: Oh no sorry

Luke: this is not the one, that was the last update. There will be another software number, we are unsure what it will be at this time

Craig Buck: No problem, I understand. Thanks for your help, it has been extremely useful

Fingers crossed this isnt another false hope.

had a call with HTC Germany and they told me the same thing...

they know about the flicker issues and they've been told to inform callers that the issue is investigated and most likely fixed in a future update (not 1.29)

they didnt know anything (duh!?) about choppiness of Teeter, which i still have by the way with 1.29 (ARHD)...with 1.28 i think it was a bit better

I'm not having issues with the screen only one minor issue, this is the bottom of the screen being yellowish. The reason that I replyed to this thread is because I want to help u guys, this is a very good and serieus thread, you don't see these that often on the internet.

Here's my name, Stephen barth from the Netherlands.

I hope this helps, I know its not related to your issues, I just want to help u guys out.

Excuse me for my bad English :)
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
well F#$# ME, my screen doesn't flicker anymore all of a sudden!!!!!!!!!!!

tried to reproduce it in every single scenario that showed it (multitask screen background, market, battery graph) but it doesn't do it anymore!!!!

didn't change a ****ing thing....have no idea what just happened to the device, it like fixed itself?!
[HTC One X] Trev16v:
I have looked at a third HTC One X this evening (owned by another colleague) and from what I could tell with brightness at minimum and while outside (so not the best test conditions) I was fairly certain that it also exhibited the apparent backlight instability at low brightness. Therefore, if my eyes weren't deceiving me, that's three out of three HOX devices I've personally seen - all of which came from different vendors - that have the identical issue.

But the thing is (and I've said this previously) due to the nature of it, most people just won't notice. My two colleagues just probably thought I was being anally retentive (which in fairness, I am :D). Many people don't even know how to adjust the brightness on these things.

So personally I reckon so many people (including many who have posted in other threads on here) who claim their device is fine possibly just don't perceive the flickering (but of course, it means they just enjoy the device and therefore it's absolutely a good thing).
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Wahey! Maybe the screens just take time to bed in
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
HTC hotline said something similar, i thought they're bullshitting....

i'll test more and report tomorrow
[HTC One X] hamdir:
bed in is something to keep in mind with the one X regarding, battery and heat for sure

and flicker why not the Darth grey test flickered for me once n never again

I think flicker is an eye thing?
[HTC One X] XeGzor:
I'm also that guy that would notice issues like that, like my screen being yellowish on the bottom. But my screen realy doesn't flicker, and after reading this thread I checked mine on every possible level.
[HTC One X] Sl1ced Bread:
Out of curiosity, has anyone experienced the screen corruption since 1.28 and 1.29?

No ones mentioned it lately.
[HTC One X] double_ofour:
That was fixed in 1.28 OTA, why'd u asked? did you experienced it in 1.28 and/or 1.29?
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Omg..

Since when, the consumer world has became so pathetic?

Since when, the consumers are at the mercy of a brand? In this case HTC.

Since when, buying a new phone should keep fingers cross?

Since when, buying a new phone are like putting your fate on a Russian roulette chance?

Since when, a consumer have to blame him/herself if you've just newly purchased a "DOA" phone?

Since when, it was the consumer fault not accepting a defective product?

Since when, a consumer are supposed to be happy with a newly purchased defective product?

Since when, a consumer are suppose to sell off the newly purchased defect product at his very own cost and losses?

Since when, a victim of defective product are supposed to be attacked by a bunch of brand fanboy?

Btw, there also tonnes of victim of this HTC One-X screen issues, who don't bother to join a forum or make a posting as they know absolutely no one in the forum can help them except HTC. Worst thing, they might end up bullied by HTC fanboy.
[HTC One X] Sl1ced Bread:
No I've returned mine for a refund.

I was more curious than anything else.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Any word on 1.29.401.x?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
No it wasn't, I have 1.28 and still have the screen corruption although it's not as regularly as it was on 1.26. I have heard it's fixed in 1.29 though. I'm not too worried about the corruption, that's got software written all over it.

I hope to hear something from HTC today, "early next week" has to be by Wednesday doesn't it?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
those who updated from my side are saying its gone for good
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
yep, flicker-on-gray is definitely gone!

i tested it on 2 different SW configurations:

- ARHD 5.0.0 based on 1.29

initially was happening as usual since i had the phone (~1 month) on all roms

all of a sudden last evening it was gone...didn't touch the phone or changed anything to it.

- Stock 1.28 RUU (relocked bootloader, no root) + 1.29 OTA

No issues so far, seems it's gone for good....

?!
[HTC One X] Death Of Rats:
Okay, quick update. Got my replacement hox on Monday and so far have seen no flickering. Fingers crossed it stays this way. Have tried various brightness settings, grey screen using the pixel fixer app and even ran a few benchmarks to heat things up :D and all looks good so far.

This is a ht24 which is same batch as my first hox. Still on 28 as well. The 29 update hasn't appeared for me yet.
