[HTC One X] hamdir:
keep it of course the flexibility is better to have between the metal frame and unibody than the glass and metal frame, if anything it might a plus and help the screen glue survive lol i think his gap appeared during use and abuse

as for the grey well i just bought the One X official pouch to keep it intact, sadly its the same as the Sensation XL/Titan and hence its a little loose and the phone slides out of it, if it's turned upside down, i think ill go back to my Desire HD official pouch which was more fit

but after three Greys and close inspections with an abused white, i think i can agree with you there, definitely the white would survive abuse better, it erodes but it doesn't show marks, however it also get yellower with time

couldn't force myself into white, Grey while screen off on the table is too damn sexy
[HTC One X] hamdir:
anyone thinks the left gap issue is due to the USB cable being so hard to pull? :)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Hmm...in the case of my friends, he noticed it the first time he put it on charge, so I don.t think so. On the other hand on the white HOX, you can see that the USB is connected in the factory because there are black marks on the inside of the white hole.

So you have seen a gap specifically at that point before? Maybe I missed pictures of this.

I think is a moulding issue and it is a weak area of the casing due to the hole.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no never seen it, in fact I just pulled my USB and noticed how hard it is n made me think, but i guess its not because its known how rigid poly is

most likely molding imperfections
[HTC One X] myself11:
I've checked my Galaxy Note and HD2 at sunlight and they too have screen gap. I'm starting to think maybe screen gap is the norm and hamdir's perfect unit the exception.

On other phones you have, is there a screen gap?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
hold on, there will always be a gap mate i mean one side will always be a little larger...the gap is never the problem (unless its very wide) its the flex associated with it that is the problem, ie the screen being loose

you returned it for the gap alone? :confused:
[HTC One X] Goku80:
just noticed that mine now as well has that creak on the left hand side..basically when i press the left hand side i can feel it not being in the right place and it makes a noise when i push it down..right side is fine. spoken with my carrier and they said they can not replace it they need to send it to get worked on...and then once i send it they get a quotation of £20 and if i accept then they will try and fix it..i declned that and said you must be joking. spoke to HTC and they said they can not replace it but send it in for repairs..i do not mind that as long as they do not charge me..but they said the carrier should replace it if i am getting dust under the screen...here is hoping..dissappointed..
[HTC One X] myself11:
I returned for the gap, which I think was bigger than normal and because on the other side of the screen there was screen flex and for one time, with the phone hot, I heard a "crack".

Also I didn't liked yellowish screen, which I know see was a mistake, probably.

Tomorrow makes 2 weeks that my One X is at HTC Repair Center. Gonna call them, but probably they're still waiting for spare screens.
[HTC One X] iamthedudeman:
Mine looks like yours, but what of the top and bottom?

Mine has a slight gap on the bottom, and top.
[HTC One X] gear912:
hox user hereee

mine prod code was sh23rw ... dont have issues on screen

so far so good :-)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
perfectly fit on all sides and corners, I think this has to do with how perfect the polycarbonate molding is
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
hmm...but the lining is metal and that is very rigid. So why would the gap be related to the polycarbonate. The only two factors are the accuracy of the glass cutting, and the tolerances/variance in the metal lining.

By the way, you referred earlier to how rigid the polycarbonate is. I have noticed that you can "squelch" the polycarbonate with your fingers near (not too near) where the camera housing is. Put one finger in the middle of the top third of the sreen, and then press around the top third of the polycarbonate, and it does bend. It's not as rigid as I would have expected to be honest.
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I get that ripple even if I press hard on the middle of the screen and on the sides. That's normal and capasitive screen shouldn't be pressed hard in the first place. 1mm gap appeared from the bottom of the screen, doesn't bother me that much

HT245
[HTC One X] hamdir:
where are not talking about acceptable level of ripple

some of the units i tests are triggering a ripple across the entire screen at the slightest touch to corners, someone posted of video of a unit rippling in the middle of the screen
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no im refering to the poly being fractionally larger out of assembly and hence the super rigid and locked metal frame adapts with the poly shell and hence create a weak point between the glass, the glue and the metal lining

the metal is rigid but its still just a ring, i think it adapts with the size of the poly shell, if anything maybe HTC should have created a slight flexibility gap between the metal ring and poly shell? its just my theory so dont shoot me
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well i do not have ripples but i do have the gap on the left hand side as you did Hamdir..Unfortunately my network provider will not replace it and only will repair it. Due to the fact i have passed my 28 days and they said they replaced my handsets like 2 times already. So awaiting for HTC to reply to me today to see if they can replace it or not..If they say they will repair it i will stick with this handset..It is only a gap barely noticeable and with a case over it well you know the rest..What do you think? your reply would be appreciated since you been through many phones
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Theories are fine...there is no doubt that the polycarbonate variances are significant. So you may have a point there.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no if its flawless dont return or repair bro, the gap is no problem if the screen is well glued and hence not loose

the One X that my cousin is carrying ive been praising all the time had a slight gap at the top we pressed it and its gone, but it has the most flawless and clean screen i saw, so really the gap is not an issue unless its associated with the badly laminted screen

also if you have no ripple at all believe me this is a rarity (like my cousin's One X)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Many thanks for your reply.:) No ripples at all. I tried to create it by watching a youtube video that a member from here posted. And i could not see a ripple at all. The other thing that slightly bugged me was that when pressing hard on the left hand side were the gap is i could hear it creaking as if trying to get back into place..Not very big issue to be honest and i have a case on it now and the gap is not even there no longer due to the case covering it.:) So yeah i will just keep my baby and only if the screen comes off will send it for repairs:)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes the only worry about this topic is the screen getting loose

loose screen = dust under, air gaps/yellow spots and ripple

otherwise returning the phone on the account of gap alone is purely OCD

now for the dust in that gap, i have a neat solution

double stick a Scotch Tape, ie tape both glue ends on each other so that you have an non glue double sides and pass it along the gap, a better solution then paper since that would disintegrate

also make sure not to force it in any tight area so that you don't ruin the fitting
[HTC One X] myself11:
Just contacted HTC Repair Center, since mine and other portuguese user One X's are there for 2 weeks already.

They said they're waiting for spare parts, so it seems they considered gap and flex as a flaw (or, at least, flex).

I hope to get one of the latest produced, since it seems valid the argument that there weren't spare screens for the first few weeks.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you should ask for replacement since they r making u wait
[HTC One X] myself11:
According to portuguese law, they have 30 days to fix it. After that, I can ask for a refund, but until that I have to wait.
[HTC One X] mertzi:
are there REALLY any phones without the flex? I've seen it on 4 phones now.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes my third is without flex, no matter how much i treat it, photos in OP

or do you mean ripple????
[HTC One X] mertzi:
yes sorry, after reading more I understood that I meant the ripple. Maybe wrong thread for that question?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
they all ripple one way or another so don't bother
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
If I slide my nail along the left side of the screen, its possible to even lift the screen. Send it back to HTC? I'm still within 14 days of getting it from Phones4U so technically shouldn't I be able to get a replacement? (I'm asking UK people about that one). The phone squeaks and I can see it the screen moving when I press it down. However, I don't have light bleeding, the phone works fine pretty much. I just don't know how long it will stay like this if the screen isn't securely attached less than 14 days after getting it. Suggestions?
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
What batch number are you?
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
Yes, take it back and ask for a replacement.
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
Is this hardware issue or everyone have it?

http://xda3.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/Others/MAH01078.MP4
[HTC One X] umd:
This is a hardware issue almost everyone has. I don't buy this phone because of this. Another joke by HTC. Shame.
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
So there are units without it or it's just how it is on one x?
[HTC One X] umd:
I've checked some devices myself and all of them had it. I asked a friend and he said every device he sold had it. But I see some people here saying they don't have this issue.

You should go to a store and try one by one till you find it. If you just order or get a replecament randomly, there is a very very big chance you get a "flexible" device.

And you might wanna check this thread. Especially post #24.
[HTC One X] ste1164:
One of my one x's with a screen gap at the top didn't have it. When I returned it i tried a few more in the store and they all had horrible screen flex. Had to return the one x for a credit note before my 28 days ran out :(. Sounds like a bad batch tbh.
[HTC One X] Toni10:
Screen flex is a manufacturing issue

It is not normal, it's a manufacturing issue.

The first batch was a disaster and htc already knows about it.

Therefore they have extended the obligingness on a half year after buying the device.

The seller in the Store told me that.

A lot of devices that have been built in March, have problems.

Decrypt your serial number following this link:;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=472891

I had two replacements, second one after 5 weeks without a problem.

They don´t even checkt if it was unlocked.

My second device had it like in the video.

My actual device, has it only very slightly on the lower right corner, the rest is fine. It was build an 14th April 2012 inTaiwan
[HTC One X] hamdir:
LCD Ripple on the sides is in 99% of HOX and in 99% of Sensation XL

if the ripple is severe and happening inside the screen and not the outer edge then its a defect, you will have to judge for yourself

FLEX is something else its the gorilla glass not being glued well and physically moving down on your pressure, ie: soft, loose, etc...

sorry mike i was unable to download your .mp4 it keeps cutting but i think you are only talking about LCD ripple
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
Not sure if it's what you're talking abut, but when I hold my device looking at it's left side, the dark surface of the screen body goes down into the white part under slight pressure.

@Toni10 so I send it to the service and they should replace my device? My serial number is HT23PW101757
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes that left side flex, the famous problem, screen glue is loose, they won't replace it since its unlocked using HTC dev

but they will fix it for you (re-glue the screen)

my first one had it on the left side the screen would go down a good bit under pressure

the second one had the same problem but this time the screen was solid under it but visibly a little loose when looking side ways

my third and current HOX the screen fit and solid like a rock non of these issues, but if i press the outer edges intentionally the LCD will ripple, but nothing like your video
[HTC One X] Saluco:
Unfortunately, HOX prooved to be a very faulty device , at least in the first batches :( I intend (intended ???) to change my DHD when my contract expire in december, but watching constant the threads , I must say I'm kinda very disappointed by the HTC QC and the way they handle the HOX lunch....they wanted to lunch it before SGS 3 but they do it in a very lame way...:(

That's just to bad, because I really like the X but it's a REAl quest to find a really faultless one :(

The days whe I bought my DHD I never seeing so many build issue, and no one can convince me that is otherway ( even the thread here in Romania are full of complaints, and Vodafone here has a f@#$ed DOA policy, ...you have only 24 h period to replace a faulty device with a new one, otherwise they send it to.repair....and the guys in stores are pretty reluctant when is about to check more than one.device in store)

I just hope that HTC will wake up and solve they problems, because I really like HOX better than SGS ( and HTC knows that if HOX won't sell well they may face bankruptcy..).....:(

Send from my DHD using Monocytes, Macrophages and Natural Killer cells :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
just hand pick ur hox n u will be fine and check my guide on how to test it in store
[HTC One X] Saluco:
Trust me ,Hamdir, I read all your threads and advices about right picking our device and I hav a deep respect for all your efforts, but this is still a Lame QC from HTC , and as I said here, at Vodafone are pretty reluctant when you are about to open and test device after device in store....kinda su&@s :(

Send from my DHD using Monocytes, Macrophages and Natural Killer cells :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no I agree this kind of QC is unforgivable sadly the HOX is kinda worth it lol
[HTC One X] zmsudu:
hell, i was SGS, SGS2, and NS user, and was exited to see this phone. i was sure that it will be my next device. as now im :confused:

ok, to avoid troll, i have question.. did HTC made any steps, or issue official explanation regarding this screen flex?

i worked in quality dept in other kind of industry, and this is a mayor problem with their product, which as top device, should be their pride. i believe heads will roll...

also im waiting 15 more days to see what, or will solution come, after that, if no solution, see you next time HTC.
[HTC One X] Toni10:
To be honest i don`t know it.

Because of my second one X I called HTC, they told me they would repair it and not replace it. I should try to get another replacement in the shop.

I`ve read different stories here in the forum.

This is also the reason why I bought it in the shop and not on the Internet.

I think, I was lucky, the seller in the Shop was very helpful. I get directly a new device.

By the way bought it at Media Markt

htc knows that the first devices are faulty.

You really should reclaim it, maybe directly at HTC Service.

Your One X Serial should be of 23rd March 2012 Taiwan.

Good Luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teranox:
Let me guess...

You've discovered some hidden menus recently by typing codes in the dialer and find out this one: *#*#4636#*#* that open a "Testing" screen showing options like this:

Phone Information

Battery Information

Usage Statistics

Wi-Fi Information

Then you went to Phone Information

Tried some options (maybe played with SMSC:_________Update / Refresh ) but that was not doing anything so you exited the menu.....

after a while you wanted to send a text or someone was asking you "Did you got my text?" and you didn't....

Here's what hapened: Accidentaly you erased from your phone the "Messaging Center Number" wich is responsible for giving your phone the access to the SMS/MMS central of your provider.....resulting in loosing the ability to send/receive messages.

Don't worry, after having navigated XDA Forums I finally found my way to make it work again (yes that's because I did it that I now now it).

By the way, even if you Factory reset, flash a new rom/radio/kernel that mistake is gonna stay. You need to enter the number again.

in the *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu,

scroll down to "SMSC:"

in the box type: 0791715097960300

press the "Update" / "Mettre à Jour" (first button)

Now exit and Reboot the phone.

To test it, don't try to resend an old test message as it contain old message center number. I even suggest to delete previous text messages from your inbox if possible.

If it worked, everything should be fine by now. (you can even kudo me for this loll)

NOTE:

The real Roger Center number is +17057969300

the thing is that it need to be Encrypted in Hexadecimal PDU format.

(user MarcusVanSciver on XDA shown that link in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412261)

That was for Orange Network (european have 8 number to phone number instead of 7 so I had to add a 0 at the end to make it work for Rogers)

after Encryption the number was now: 0791715097960300

This worked for ROGERS, the trick could maybe work for other networks but I can not validate the info. (but for sure this will not be the same number)

This had been tested with stock rom and Custom Rom With Custom Radio and Custom Kernel.

If this helped you, please give credit to this post ;-)

To program the SMSC (Text Messaging) number on Android devices, please follow these steps:

Go to the phone application.

From the phone application, press *#*#4636#*#*. (You will have to press the Call or Send button after entering this code in for some Android devices).

[HTC Wildfire S] spit_fire:
Well, the stock lock ring always sort of bugged me as they get pixelated when the ring expands. Here's a thin White lockring mod which helps as it's that thin! And hell, it matches with any homescreen you got.

It has only been tested on a Sense 3.5 deodexed ROM but may work on a deodexed 2.1 as well (backup).

PS. Only the ring has been edited and resized by me. The lockscreen is the sense 4.0 by seaskyways found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540276

As yours is odex I'm really not sure. Someone on seaskyway's thread did mention that his lockscreen patch worked fine with an odex ROM so I really don't see why not. If you can BACKUP, flash the file and let us know how it went, that'd be perfect.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Entropy512:
Normally, it's a safe assumption that AT&T devices are different enough in form factor from international devices that accessories for one won't work on another.

However:

The part number for the N7000's vehicle dock is ECS-K1E1BEG according to http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...-galaxy-note-5-3-car-charger-included-224728/

The part number for the AT&T dock is ECS-K1E1BEGSTA - which is almost identical to the international part number - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECS-K...3FQS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335020917&sr=8-1

Are these actually compatible? It seems hard to believe, AT&T devices are usually slightly different in form factor, but this part number is really close.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlsmy:
I recently purchased a used Vibrant and after factory resetting, the phone constantly bootloops with an audible "Restoring Operation". I've had the Vibrant before, and I know that it is trying to restore itself from the Whiskey Kernel the guy had installed before, but it simply reboots from scratch every time. How can I force it to go to download mode so I can odin back to stock? I've tried the Three Button method, but as soon as I reboot it says "Restoring operation" and reboots and cycles again. Can I try any other methods? I'm not afraid to open up the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] GuestK00222:
So, I've noticed that my Evo3D won't keep the ringtone settings after a reboot. I downloaded from HTC the "Tint" sound pack and it set everything up. Reboot, all ringtone settings lost. I reapplied, same thing happened. I even tried setting them via settings to those, and still it lost the settings next reboot. What could be causing this? Even ringtone settings for contacts are sometimes getting messed up. Could my SD card be bad?
[HTC EVO 3D] GuestK00222:
Well, I've gotta reply to my own thread as I figured out the issue. This will also hopefully help anyone with the same issue. I found out that ESET Mobile Security is the problem causer at hand here. I've contacted them to make them aware of the problem. I tried another SD card with the same issue, then tried removing ESET since it scans at startup, etc and I figured may be causing the problem...I was right.
