Hey guys,

today i spoke to amazon germany about the one X, because i had already 3 faulty devices and all devices had the same issue, screen flicker.

The amazon worker said, they tested all devices and every device was faulty, now they are waiting for a statment from HTC. I think its very sad especially for the people who waited for their device, HTC shame on you -.-

This is very well known issue http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1617009

Just a bad batch.

Over here in Ireland, very few if any people have had to return faulty devices.
[HTC One X] picxar:
yeah but not in this dimension, i thought a bunch of devices were faulty but not that much, what do you think hardware or software?
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
The store were I swapped mine 3 times also said there is no "sense" in swapping for a 4th as they are all flawed.
[HTC One X] picxar:
when they cant fix the issue through an ota, then its gonna be expensive for HTC
[HTC One X] tmach:
They may be able to fix it through an OTA. A lot of early ICS ROMs for the Rezound had screen flickering problems, but they've since been worked out. At least there's hope!
[HTC One X] jammw:
If only the level of attention AntennaGate got becomes as widespread for HTCs woes...then we might all get a free case - oh wait that won't fix the Wifi issues, or the flickering...or the yellow spots...
[HTC One X] adamgaltress:
And the transformer prime had the.same.issue, it took 4 ota to fix it. I think I have seen people say it is possibly tegra related
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
While the problem is very real, I highly doubt that Amazon ripped open lots of boxes and started testing the phones. There are seals on the tape on the side of the box and they wouldn't have been able to resell the device after opening it I think they probably re-tested the faulty ones returned and judged by the number of returns that there was a general fault. By the way, it is easy to determine if your phone is a new never used one or not. When you switch the phone on, if it takes ages to start, going black for a while, it is new. If someone had switched it on, even if they didn't do anything, and switched it back off again, it would not take long to turn on the next time, due to fast boot. Since the fast boot setting is always on after a factory reset, I believe it is impossible to get the phone back into a state of "reset + long boot".

Also, having now been on my 6th phone, every single one of them had flicker. They were not all built at the same time or bought from the same store. I found a test case that could make any of them flicker

1) Battery below 50%

2) Brightness set to 40%-50% (varies a bit from phone to phone)

3) Go to the XDA forum web page on the phone. As the page is loading up, focus on the background and will see flickering as the CPU activity increases during rendering

I think there are two types of flicker. One that happens all the time on some phones most visible on grey backgrounds. And another type of flicker that happens at certain brightness/battery/cpu levels.

Another test case is:-

1) Set brightness very low, such as 20%

2) Go to app/play store

3) Choose "My Apps"

4) This may only work with a considerable number of apps..I tried it with 60. Rotate to landscape, watch very carefully the grey background...and then when the white re-appears, watch the brightness change upwards after it settles.

5) Rotate to portrait and watch again at the grey, then the white brightness levels

A friend bought a HOX just recently and it shows as well on these 2 test cases.
[HTC One X] ciubeca:
I bought my HOX from an italian ebay seller (a month ago: htc23) and device has arrived with an Amazon Spain package.

Never had any issue: no screen flicker, no flex ..no gap :)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
When you have to set it up just to see it flicker that shows it's NOT an issue in my eyes - 'battery less than 50%, turn brightness to this level, etc.'

I have my phone on auto brightness, let the battery run to nothing sometimes and I have NEVER had the screen flicker. I'm saying there might not be a problem but when you get it under very precise circumstances I think you're deliberately looking for a problem...
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I didn't go looking for the problem. I stumbled across it. I am very analytical, so once I find a problem, I determine the test case that produces it. I didn't return any of my phones for this problem. They all had other issues, such as screens that were not seating properly, one that displayed the left part of the image on the right side and vice versa (really weird that one), one that had a massive blue splodge near the middle of the screen etc etc
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
That I can accept but this whole flickering issue seems a bit far fetched. I've got VERY good eyesight but cannot see anything wrong with my phone so I either have a perfect one or I'm just not bothered by it
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Not that much? How many does Amazon DE have in stock? 20? If it's more than that I highly doubt they opened every single unit to determine they're "faulty." The flickering's s/w and any phone is subject to it. Not all do, but all could. Last announcement on May 2 was HTC identified the issue and was working on an update specifically to address it. You're better off waiting until that fix is released.
[HTC One X] Federic0:
you are so lucky! mine is an ht23 too, but it does have flickering and suffers when pressing the LCD left side. HTC says it's normal for an LCD which is pressed, i've tried to explain them that this happens only on screen borders, that most devices have no flex issues and so on.....they don't want to replace it.

really disappointed. :mad:

my first and last htc for sure.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Indeed, but also how often are you staring closely at the screen while a web page is loading. It hasn't really bothered me but if it was flickering the whole time on a grey background, that would certainly annoy me.
[HTC One X] eightlegs:
Don't think I've ever seen a panel phone, tv or monitor that doesn't flicker under certain circumstances if you really look for it. Unless of course it's happening all the time in which case something is wrong.

My One X? No problems here as far as I can tell and I'm not about to start to try and make them happen either.

Don't forget also - everyone's eyesight is different. Anyone familiar with rainbow effect on DLP projectors? Doesn't affect everyone - it's something to do with the way the brain interprets the signals.......
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
Strange, as my last 2 had that issue. Made a youtube about it, send the link to HTC support and they contacted me. They told me that it was not the way an One X panel should react on pressure. Got a refund after the 3rd one, now I'm struggling what to do with my premium navigation license.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
If its far fetched why have HTC admitted to the problem in one of the many threads raised by users facing this issue?
[HTC One X] ajftl:
I must be the only one with no flicker problem....
[HTC One X] Goku80:
do not worry i am having the same issue. contacted HTC support and waiting for an outcome tomorrow if they will replace the phone or not. I am on my 3rd replacement. i will even send it to get fixed..if they say they can not fix it sod it i will go with this phone stick a case on it and get on with it till i have enough money to get a different phone if my issues do not get solved within the next week or two
[HTC One X] alvinswim:
I wonder if its an issue with the screen refresh rate being too low. I have the same problem but I notice only on greys and blue dominated screens..

And that would explain a software fix, by increasing the refresh rate to sync with the backlight..
[HTC One X] slind:
Got four HOX from Amazon Germany and none(!) had the flickering issue. All HT24EW1xxxxxxx.

But all four have more then three dead pixels, one is even showing a freakin' purple blinking pixel.

Two of them with heavy screenflex issues, one with moderate problems. One was totally stiff, but has four bad pixels as well.

It is - SO - annoying ! :(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
:eek: HTC is playing with fire, they have the most praised android device ever made and yet they can't get their act to together, its a golden opportunity for them now to rebound, pity they r pushing so many away with this ridiculous QC issues
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
You guys are making this seem much worse than it is. Despite your individual experiences, the poll's reflect something different. Granted a 1:4 ratio kind of sucks but keep in mind the question asked was "is your One X perfect?" The only choices were yes or no. If flickering's counted in the poll the results would be signifcantly better. And the flickering will be resolved with s/w.

If the SGS3 front page is full of nothing but praise a month after it launches then HTC deserves all the negativity being thrown at them. My bet is the SGS3 home page will be as bad or worse as ours. The SGS2 and GN's certainly were.
[HTC One X] :
Thank goodness I don't have the flicker issue with the 1st handset and my 2nd handset. The only issue I have with the 1st one (which I have sold) was the yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen. My 2nd one has no faults.
[HTC One X] Azurael:
No problem with mine. Good WiFi reception (better than previous phones with the possible exception of my Atrix), a barely perceptible screen flicker at low brightness as I'd expect on anything using a PWM dimmed backlight, and no build/quality issues. Still, 'faulty' means different things to different people - I see 'flicker' on quite a lot of LCDs, both LED and CCFL backlit on <100% brightness if I'm looking for it.

Ya all first batch phones have problems, regardless what brand it is. Unless the company focus only on one product and took months to check/test them after assembly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirot:
Ok basically what I need to do is this:

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine bought a S2, since Kies gave me the option to upgrade mine to ICS I told him to try and upgrade it as well, but Kies refuses to provide him the update, we flashed a rom using ODIN but is not working as well as it should be doing, is there any way for me to extract a full image of my phone (or at least of the system files) and copy it to my friend's phone?

Both phones are standard I9100, so I doubt that there's any incompatibility issues
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Far simpler to find out what firmware you're running, download it from here/samfirmware/checkfus and flash it via Odin on his phone, assuming he has the exact same model number and not some variant.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirot:
Is true, that actually sound more simple, now how do I know which F/W do I have?

I personally always leave data off. WiFi is on a lot. I wrote this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631831

I am very please to get a day and a half with the extended battery. Generally I am always texting,also.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Right here, this is the key. I have data off all the time. I only turn it on when I need to look something up or browse. IMO auto updates really kill the battery and aren't worth leaving your data on all the time. I'm on wifi a lot as well. Currently I'm on DarkRaider and I'm ending the day with around 30-40%, great improvement over stock.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anit77:
It seems that with every new handset that comes out this is one of the hottest topics but the parameters all always the same with regard to battery life.

The 3 biggest things that drain our batteries are Display Usage, Data Connection & Radio Cell Connection. These are listed in order of current used. Of the 3 we can have some control over the 1st 2. Lower screen brightness and disconnect data when not needed and use wifi when possible. While wifi does use a good amount of current it's not as much as mobile data. The last one, Radio Cell Connection, we have very little control over. It's also the reason we see people having great differences in battery life. The further the phone is from the tower it's connected to the more juice it needs to make a good connection. So other than leaving the phone in airplane mode or planning your life around where towers are, neither of which are very practical, there is not much we can do there.

To get the best all around life from Li-ion batteries do not fully discharge them very often and also don't keep them plugged in after they're fully charged. It's best to recharge them when they get down to 20-30% and unplug them after they're charged. They also don't need to be fully charged every time, they have no memory. If your on the go and can only leave it plugged in for a short period of time that's fine. Also if you have more than one battery and your not going to use the 2nd one for a while don't store it at full charge. drop it down to 50-60% before pulling it out.

I'll update this post when I get home tonight with more info and links. Hope it helps. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
I always make sure my auto updates are off. WiFi isn't an option for me when I'm working. How do you manage your data connection? Do you manually turn it on and off or use an app? I never really tried manually turning the mobile data on/off, just found with apps like JD that it sometimes took way too long to establish a connection. I always shut off my wifi when I leave for work. I know with ICS the widget toggles for gps don't work, they take you to the settings to turn it off, is there one for mobile data?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
With my 3500mah battery I don't really worry about turning anything off. That thing is great. Made a bumper case for it but I miss having a real case on it so I picked up the 2000mah andida battery so I could get a few more hours on some days. If someone ever made a real case for those big batteries i'd use it all the time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anit77:
Try 2x Battery from the store. It will shut off data as soon as the the phone sleeps, it reconnects at screen on after unlock almost instantly. It also allows you to white list apps, like Pandora. The free version only allows 1 app though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
The DarkRaider ROM I am using has a nice extended settings menu in the notification bar with a data toggle. I also have a nice widget from switchpro widgets where I can customize what kinds of things I want to be able to toggle from my homescreen. Currently I have data/wifi/vibrate-silent/gps. Doesn't take long at all when I toggle the data on/off, it's pretty much instant.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I use the 2X Battery app. When the phone goes to sleep, the app turns off the data radio. I can still get calls and text messages. I don't have a need for push notification of e-mail, etc., so this saves me some battery usage. Of course, if e-mail and other app notifications are important, this app will help only if you are willing to wait until you wake up the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Here's what I do. I'm on the stock HTC battery.

I SetCPU screen off to 192/192 ondemand, in call to 810/192 ondemand, and regular use to 810/192 ondemand.

I listen to about 2 hours of music a day, have 3 GMail accounts on autosync, a Facebook account on hourly autosync and HTC Weather on hourly sync. Automatic brightness. Roughly 1.5 hours of cumulative web-browsing, no apps/games used.

I never use WiFi and I don't live in an LTE area.

I typically end the day (19-21 hours unplugged) with ~40% remaining.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deathnai:
Now I am not sure if living in area with LTE is a bless or curse....

I would unplug around 7am everyday, and by the time I get home (around 6pm) I would always in red mode (meaning, it is either 14% or under). Using the Holics-0.6 with the kernel that came with it, battery seems to die fast. Even when I am on the stock ICS before this, seems LTE would just bleed this baby to death....

Reading other comments, might as well start looking for a bigger battery....:mad:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Monkeymannnn:
It actually seems like I'm getting better battery since LTE came to my town. I'm on dark raider using kozmick's rc1 kernel and it's even better now. Try turning off vibration feedback...I think it's located in the sounds menu in settings. You can also try using automatic brightness or even just setting it to stay at 50% or lower. The screen is a battery hog. There's a stickied thread somewhere on here that has other things you can try too.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] liney_2000:
Really is a shame that we have to disable or ease everything back so much to get through the day on a battery. Anyhow, I have a Velocity (which comes out of the box with the processor running at 1500) on Dark Raider. Therefore I use SetCPU to throttle the beast back, depending upon the circumstances. It only is allowed to run at 1500 when on charge and down to 400 when battery below 25 percent. I also use 2X Battery to take care of the netowrk and Wi-Fi and have purchased the andida battery for extended life. I also have JD installed, however it is rarely used - reason is that I am in agreeance with "citsong" that it takes too long to establish connections, even causing me general connection issues from time to time. So for around $25 AUD you can get through the day on a battery with moderate use and reasonable performance. I have not tried the extended battery pack, though I will probably get one of those as well...not sure which are the best???
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deathnai:
I personally don't like the vibrate response thing, so I turn that off right out of the box, also, auto brightness is another that I set. When I go in the battery tab to see what is bleeding it to death, and most of it would be the display....

Though, vivid seem to have a smaller battery compared to other phones of similar functions and/or size, so that might be the reason I am not really seeing a very good battery life?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Actually there are only a couple phones that have a larger battery...

The galaxy note and the atrix are the ones that come to mind...

And the note has a larger screen and Samsung's rediculious samoled screen which eats battery like potato chips...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ideaLduK:
My solution was to get a larger battery (2100mAh, the largest one with stock format) and using juice defender to control my Data Connection. I am getting about 60% more using time on a normal usage whan before!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deathnai:
I actually have both Motorola Atrix 2 and HTC Vivid. However, my Atrix 2 would last about two days between charges, which is kind of weird. I have my personal account and company account on that phone (personal is to activate the google stuff), so it eats up data twice as fast, yet it is almost twice as long battery life.

And to update a little bit from my post before, it seems I am getting better battery life now, after 4-5 days of flashing the new ROM, let's hope it is true....or I am just going to go hunt for a bigger battery

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Actually, the Samsung Galaxy Note is way bigger than either Atrix or Vivid, so with a bigger body, I would assume that a bigger battery is possible. But if you look at current phones, I rarely see batteries that are above, say, 1800mAh, let alone 2000mAh and above, stock of course.

Monday I was running stock GB with stock battery, Tuesday stock ics with stock.battery only thing I did was turn off data...

I ended the day on both days with about 14 hours of use at 5% with almost 4 hours of screen time...which beats my infuse I used to have...(brightness was at auto)

Here's what I got today with data on all day...I will admit that the phonewas connected to the pc for about 15-20 minutes while I transfered music from my computer to the phone...anyways about the same stats...

A New Way to Check Battery Usage

I just found this web site and app that monitors your battery usage and makes recommendations on how to improve it. It does not actually make changes the way the 2x Battery app does. It does collect some data (nothing personal they say) about your system and sends that data to a server where is it combined with data from other users to get a better picture about apps and specific phones.

http://carat.cs.berkeley.edu/

The app, called Carat, is available from the Google Market/Play.

They recommend letting it run a couple of days to gather more data. When you start the program, it uploads the gathered data to their servers. I just installed it, so I will report back next week about what it shows. It will be interesting to see if it tells me anything I don't already know or do (on my own or using 2X Battery).
