mmm the odds against my theory i guess :) or you didn't check well ;)
[HTC One X] milanelo:
I'm pretty sure most of the 1Xs would have the same fading light around the bottom corners when you're looking the device in a dark room.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
this is what i'm saying, people are considering this bleed as a sign of a defect but its really not
[HTC One X] LadFromWales85:
A lot of what people are seeing as light bleed, is the capacitive button led light transmitting through the glass and emitting from the edge, much in the same way small led's can create a big surface of light when a plastic spreader is placed in front of them, like on a lot of electronic gear.
[HTC One X] pifsworld:
My one x seems to be relaxing due to heat which is causing a gap and a slight hump on the back just above the HTC logo if you hold it up to a light you can see the hump and it presses in a bit if pressure is applied,this is were the battery is..
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
some light bleed is expected. heck my dhd had some. but there should not be any gap between the screen and the metal frame, atleast no appreciable gap. in my case the gap was very visible under direct sunlight and was collecting a lot of dust. also the lcd backlight was shining through this gap. since in my country htc have a 14 days return policy , i decided to try my luck at getting a phone without any defects, glitches etc.
[HTC One X] an.d.d:
Got major flex on my screen. even if I press in the middle of the screen it ripples slightly. Worse on the edges though.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
This is the third report of this and is very alarming indeed. Effectively it seems possible for the polycarbonate to melt. Is yours a white or grey one? One of the others reported is the grey one. If many more of these appear this is the sort of thing that may result in a recall.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Having the flex means having ripples too?
[HTC One X] milanelo:
This is the right side of my phone. Is this gap normal or bigger guys?
[HTC One X] zekit:
@hamdir,

Finally after waiting I don't know how long I got my White HOX! :D

Just one word before I go into some details: IT'S PERFECT!

The reason I am writing is that as we all guess only the users with problems are posting and complaining so i thought i should comment a few things also as a satisfied customer.

To clear one thing, I live in Bulgaria and i had a contact from where i bought the phone and he informed me that they sent back the 1st batch of phones that were delivered to them because of some issues (he wasn't sure about what exactly was the issue) and the one i got was from the 2nd batch.

It is perfect in every way, no screen issues what so ever! no glitches with the software, it's smooth as hell, only once i had the "loading" screen but i overloaded it a lot.

I got the 1.28 update as soon i got the phone. and then made a factory reset just to be clear and the phone has been perfect up to now and still is.

It is heating but in very normal degrees, just like my HD2.

battery is still not good, but i only charged it 2 times so i am waiting for it to settle.

Sooo i am very very very satisfied for now and i want it to be known that there are perfect ones out there.
[HTC One X] milanelo:
Zekit what's your 1X serial number?
[HTC One X] zekit:
starts with HT241 ends with 267.

and i got it with beats headphones
[HTC One X] SageKing:
Got my replacement today after 6 weeks of waiting. Now i have really bad lcd ripple but my shop told me that this is pretty normal?!

The ripple effect appears, when i soft touch the feft side. On the right side i need more pressure.

Is this really normal?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I can't make mine ripple and my screen doesn't flex (does the glass screen flex or the polycarbonate case?)
[HTC One X] SageKing:
I send my second device back today, because of the ripple effect is getting even worse after playing around with the HOX. The whole screen starts to ripple if i slightly press one of the outer edges.

Its really a shame that HTC have this bad QC controlls. Shame on them!

PS: It was a HT24T Serial number.
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
@hamdir is this a screen gap??
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what? the gap is between the metal and the screen from the front n the side

what are u showing me exactly?
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
yes exactly if i look from the left i can see the screen slightly raised from metal. is it normal?? also if i apply pressure it gives slight creaking sound.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes its designed to be raised like this

what matter is it fit? ie the distance between glass and metal (From the front view)

and that its not soft under the glass
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
from the front it is like this bro
[HTC One X] hamdir:
seems perfect to me!
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
thanks a lot :) feel relieved . was thinking it was a defect.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no the creak sound under the usb charge port is normal

as long as it air tight fit from the front and not soft and the screen is not physically detached or soft than there is no problem

looks air it in the photo

stop testing it and let it settle like i advised u bro ;)
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
ok bro :D probably was getting OCD :P it's airtight only. and btw the creak is not under the charge port. it's below it. its like some 1 to 2 cms from the bottom. happening only at that particular area. at the right side its rock solid. no creaks and it seems the height difference between metal and screen is very small on the right side compared to the left side. pics attatched.
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
@arincs bro your phone looks absolutely spot on to me. njoy the x :)
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
Hehe :D thanks a lot time to enjoy then after allowing it to settle for a week :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
neverind the creak its exactly where is said it is :) probably because of the polycarbonate hole for the usb port

looks perfect enjoy!
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
Thank you :) after one week thd gaming ;) sorry ran out of thanks today. :)
[HTC One X] nadejo:
on my device the display seems to move down a bit if i press the edges and i also have exactly the same crack sound at the same place also have the screen riples wehen pressing the edges dont even need to press exactly the black part (i have a white htc one x bought <2 weeks ago) shall i replace it ? At the shopp i ll look for a fixed one some people have 0 ripples just maybe if they press like 1000g pressure . (i can see little ripples when i put my housephone on the edge ^^)

Do i need to do s-on and revert to stock rom again before i replace my phone ?
[HTC One X] klonkers:
I just noticed a gap between the screen and the frame on the left hand side, and some glue at the top left corner. I'm able to fit my nail into the gap between the screen and the frame, should I try and bring it back?

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
I'm gutted. My HOX has been absolutely flawless for a couple of months but this-morning it's developed a loose screen on the left side.

It's not huge (about 1mm) but you can definitely feel the 'softness' and see a little dust collecting on the edge between the glass and frame.

I suspect the (very rare) heat wave in the UK was the cause as I've been using my HOX in-car, although I am carefull to check temperature and keep shaded, but it still is a lot warmer than usual.

Hamdir, how is your perfect unit? Is it still solid, even with the game testing etc you've been doing which would definitely test the heat cause issue.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
man its rock solid and i burn it hot with Faux kernel + gaming boost all the time

plus i'm in the middle east, ambient this season is 30c

so when i game, i easily reach 50c all the time mate

did you drop it or bend it? and what is ur serial

i keep mine in a pouch, sometime with some heat trapped in too...
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
I did drop it about 1 foot yesterday onto my desk but prior to that I've dropped it twice from 4 foot with no issues, perhaps the latest small drop was the final straw, so to speak.

It's serial is SH24L

I'm planning to keep it for now as-is because in every other regard it is flawless. If it gets worse I'll definitely reconsider.
[HTC One X] danalex:
hello, i have a small creak on the top right corner when pressed harder. Light doesnt come out , so its just the creak. I was wondering if as time will pass the glass will start to unglue all around the screen or its just a inconsistency in the gluing.

Also the screen ripples more in this area, tho i think its the most insignifiant problem the ripple as i never press that hard on display.

I have a Sh26hw.
[HTC One X] danalex:
I was watching some disassembly videos and it seems there could be 2 cases :

1. gorilla glass is unglued from the digitizer or

2. the whole lcd (glass+digitizer) is not well attached in the metal chassis.(which is not such a bad thing in the end compared to the first case)

Also i was thinking that the ripples in the areas where creaks appear might be due to the lack of glue between glass and digitizer, and that could allow the glass to press directly on the lcd.
[HTC One X] valiox:
Or perhaps in my opinion the reason the we have those ripples it might be even the heat!

It is just an opinion!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no wrong, it happens when the phone is new and the glue is fresh, use the phone for a month and so and it will disappear
[HTC One X] valiox:
you mean you had the same effect on the display and while they were gone??

I am so interesting...because tomorrow they will exchange my phone, and I wan't something good!!!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I said it in the op

if the screen is solid on the left n right side with no glue issues, the slight ripple on the edges will completely go away after few weeks
[HTC One X] valiox:
Ok, new, new, but mine now it has the display changed and he started to have the ripple even on the middle of the screen! Today they'll gonna bring me another HOX, but after all searches that I've made on this forum, I saw that HOX wich are having the SH26 to SH28 are OK. Mine is SH26, and he has those problems: ripple effect on the screen margins and in the middle, bad gsm reception (changed sim card, changed the operator, vodafone, orange...the same problem), heating until 65 degrees celsius...and some freezings...in small apps. Frontal camera...is recording everything in red...(having the latest update, changed even the software, the same problem), and noise on the primary camera, even under good light.
[HTC One X] Vecera:
I got mine recently and after 2 day of usage I noticed on left side that glass isn't glued proper so I paste it back and so far its ok.

Mine phone is Rev.A - Made in china - SH24 - (and I had Rev.B that died in 2 days.. so I got new one and now is Rev.A)
[HTC One X] joora:
Hello all,

today I have recieved my HOX - black, made in china, SH25.

I tested it for screen flex, and noticed that, on lower part of the screen, both sides, there is ripple effect when I apply some presure. It doesn't appear when I barely touch it (so that it registers the touch). Anything more and it starts to ripple. It seems to go down to the area with the keys and it stops there. Is this normal, or should it be more resistant to ripple effect?

Also, can anybody point me what app is suitable for testing this issue, along with the yellow spot issue (i see that a lot of videos on youtube are using this app)
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
You are the luckiest One X owner ever :eek:
[HTC One X] myself11:
On other phones you guys have owned, did HTC repair center admitted this was a flaw and repair it?
[HTC One X] zekit:
thanks, i still can't beleive how good the phone is in general! the screen is unbelievable and everybody around me agreed that it actually looks like a demo phone that u see on the stores :D unrealistically good!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
hold on to it mate! I just told my cousin the same, he got a perfect HOX with the brighter screen and perfectly fit lamination, no gaps, no ripple, it was creeking in the top, the day we got it n we pressed it in, it never came back, he also paid less because it was considered used, lucky bastard!

I've checked his screen n darkness and had no light bleed except a very faint on the left side

mine has bleed on left, right and corners, based on both polls, I decided the gap, flexing n ripple is a defect and I already sent it to a shop to get rid of it

let's hope it works n the next one is better...guts me that when I opened mine out of box n a guy next to me, we both had same issues, fresh ht242 serial!

I still have my doubts that its related to heat, out of box imperfection getting worse under heat, my HOX gave me the overheating blink two times, when I was downloading game sddata over WiFi, the temps got much better later on

unacceptable quality being allowed to ship from HTC...25% is still bad

I'm the one you are still waiting for :)
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Hamdir I think you had a factory batch defect, I know many Lebanese who bought the One X and didn't have flex or flicking, you are just unlucky.

As for Beats earphones it looks like stars took them from the boxes and selling them apart,I was wondering how they were selling 150$ buds for 30$ ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no beats is officially not bundeled only in few limited offers, the one X comes with decent official earphones that r actually a little higher or equal in quality to the iPhone ones

as for my luck yea...still two out four bought had defects is no good

I also think its why stars dropped the price

when r u getting urs ? I think ill hold two weeks
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
As soon as the price drops again I will buy one, can't wait!!

I am still convinced the price will go down to 570$ by the end of this week or beginning next week,then count 2-5 days to sell my sensation
[HTC One X] KrzakalD:
My HOX is heating only while plugged to charger but even then there is no problem with screen, no gaps.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Yesterday my phone overheated like if it was in the oven :eek:

Sensation with One S ported rom...

So the software is behind many problems on the One series
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Can you check the back casing for deformity. A few reports have come in that under extreme cases the polycarbonate casing starts to melt/deform under extreme heat.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea sense has so many bugs its embarrasing but still when the phone actually runs @ 1.5ghz x 4 it will heat, the only solution to this is a downclock in quad mode/GPU

lets hope my HOX won't come back to me today

if i get rid of it like planned, ill use ur strategy wait for the next price drop but i will go very early to Stars so there won't be much havoc and put a condition to exchange on the spot if it has any issue as much a speckle or dust and i will return it!!! im actually thinking maybe stars are getting the refused low quality batches since you know this country! what the hell is the software warranty they are speaking of?

the other options would be waiting till may, but i dont know if i can survice this long without my HOX :mad:

best mobile device ever made!
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
When you bought yours from Stars it was second week if I remember well, so how would they have selected defective phones?

If it was 1 month after and that HTC was a bad company, they collect all bad phones in Europe and give them 1/2 price to Stars and co.

So no I don't think they bought selected defective phones. They just buy directly from the Taiwanese factories as they have an office there
[HTC One X] hamdir:
whatever this is, it's unacceptable! HTC really killed the buzz, the only saving grace is that the HOX is tasty enough for you to tolerate this mess

i'm inquiring about the software warranty he mentioned on facebook

you know it just hit me, HOX doesn't have enough openings to release the heat, only those tiny micro holes, not enough for hot as pancake Tegra3...
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I really don't mind the phone getting that hot. I mean most devices with that amount of power have fans in them. So aside from the software glitch vegetaleb had, I expect it to get quite toasty in games. But I much more concerned about heat damaging its own casing!

I had a very close look at mine last night, as I have got my phone toasty a couple of times. If I hold the phone up under a bright light, and hold the phone so I am looking along the back of it, so I can see all the patterning of the back cover easily (matte mottled effect), and tilt the phone back and forth a bit, I can indeed see an outline of the battery behind it. If I run my fingers across the plastic at those points, I can actual feel a slight dip at one point. Now this could just be the original moulding, becaues if you look at the stripdown of the phone, it has all sorts of mouldings on the inside of the back cover. I really hope that it hasn't happened due to heat. Please note this is very difficult to see and you have to hold the phone at just the right angle to catch the ripple lines in the polycarbonate.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Hamdir all the HTC phones don't have much openings for heat, look at the Sensation for exemple!

I remenber when I had a sgs2 for 2 months, I barely could play a game more than 10 mins because of huge overheating of the screen...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i know mat but this the Tegra3 we are talking about, i would have minded some micro drilled holes behind the SOC location...

ok update: my hox is gone :D i will wait your signal vegetaleb ;)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Ah so you can't check the back of your phone for me to see if you can see those slight ripples in the polycarbonate casing roughly where the battery is!

According to a google search, polycarbonate doesn't start melting until at least 130 degrees C...so I very much doubt anything in the phone could change the casing, unless it isn't really polycarbonate afterall!
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
There are no rules but usually Stars decrease on tuesday or thursday,last week it was friday...I doubt tomorrow they will do it,perhaps thursday-friday and max next tuesday
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no its gone, i saw the pic in the other thread i dont think its heat related at all he just didn't take care of it, i keep mine in a pouch

ill check my cous phone when i see him

as for poly, i doubt heat will melt, i'm questioning bend-ability, the screen+frame+shell are so tightly fit and any sort of damage to device, say it fell down, or roughness during shipment? might cause some bending

the metal frame is so hard locked to the shell and stronger than the screen glue i'm sue it will create a flex effect, the phone is tough but not metal tough

time to hunt for a new one or hold for cleaner situation

i will gladly buy a used one that i can check thoroughly
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mate they cant keep decreasing, it has to hold at one point, they can decrease below their OEM price
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It was more, this post that scared me

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25143665&postcount=12

If you can resist, you should wait 2 months and buy it again. But its such a wonderful phone when it does work properly, that 2 months will seem like a very long time.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Dude 82% didn't have flex

70% did'n't have flickering

So I preffer to try my luck rather than wait a month or 2 :D

I will use the 48h like it or return it option from the delivery guy ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
not from stars is it?
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
No!

Search for ''competitive'' word in elmzad and you will get his list price and phone number.

He will bring the phone sealed but he will check it up with you,then you get 48h to try it.

Get it in friday so you will win another day ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
thx ill wait for u to try him first ;) i made the first experiment, now your turn ! :D
[HTC One X] Techimplant:
Guys m wondering that as we have so many heating issues(I don't though)..is it ok to have a back cover on the phone??..I mean we are already short of openings here n the back cover will cover them up too..so won't the temperature go even higher!!!

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[HTC One X] bazman70:
Just played shadowgun for first time (for around 20 mins) and afterwards the screen had separated slightly. If I push left hand side, I can hear the sound of it sticking back down, and then it pops back up again. (About 1mm of movement). Not sure what to do, as thought mine was one of the good ones up until now
[HTC One X] Victor.S:
My One X used to be good, but after Riptide GP I had the same issue. What kinda fixed it for me is to push the screen + bezel down in the casing with one hand. And do this real hard. While you are pushing the screen down, push/smack on that side of the phone real hard. So clamp the entire phone on the sides. Hold for a minute or something and it may hold again. The thing is that I don't know how long it will last. I can still replace, but giving this a chance.

Maybe i will try to heat up the phone with a hairdryer, and then use the same method with some clamps, untill the phone cools. It should work i think.

Nevermind. It is back for me already... It's not real hard but I think i'm going to return it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
rrrrrr so now u guys say u have it after heat? after I got rid of my one x!

I saw the left side relaxing when I was tegra gaming, no point in replacing it, the problem is heat related and will always manifest itself if you let your device overheat....

the weakest element is the screen glue

I think for my next one X i will not play tegra stuff until the glue settles like a week or so, one thing to keep in mind my x hox had glue imperfections out of box, heat only made it pop
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
It's Tuesday and no new price :(

Though I was pretty sure no new price before Thursday/Friday
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I haven't 'noticed' anything like this yet... hopefully I don't.

I will be returning the phone though due to slight flickering when on a grey screen...

I was playing Death Rally and Shadowgun THD for about an hour lastnight, an hour each game... If my screen was flexing I'm guessing it'd be enough for me to notice right?
[HTC One X] bazman70:
Check on the left hand side of the screen when hot. Mine only moves about 1mm, but it def is loose. (right hand side is solid)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well the left side is a the suspect area, but it can happen in other places too, either top side or the corners, the glue will get loose in the weakest part and you will notice by a new gap or softness to the gorilla glass

awaiting your feedback on this, now you can all understand what i meant in the OP

if a lot of you confirm the situation is not global, means it only happens to devices with already imperfect lamination out of box

we still don't know if some One X has cooler T3 than others but most of them are hot as pancakes when used to its fullest :)

One S is 600$ you can't seriously think it will drop below the One S mate, its not a cheap phone to make, so it will not drop below the OEM price

One X SLCD2 and Tegra3 are very high cost on the OEM (read semi accurate) and hence the poly shell, not forgetting 1GB RAM and 32GB internal

it will just drop until the lebanese "theft" stops and hold, its £469.99 @ amazon.co.uk

------------------------------------------------

im seriouly starting to contemplate the One XL, im willing to be bet good money that it will not have any of the issues we are experiencing with the One X, most our issues can be traced back to T3, but damn those games are tasty...and a lot more coming on the way
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
One S will be 550$ in 2 days so One X 570$

Why the One X losed 150$ in 3 weeks and the One S nothing?

The One S price will drop till it reaches 500$,as for One X it will reach stability at 550/570$ for a couple of month, this is from Stars experience over the 2 last years and 3 different HTC devices I bought
