Anyone else feel that the HT version looks to be more stable and non-defect?

My first HOX was ht23 (NON-DEFECT) BUT by druken mistake when I had purchased an external battery (SOLD), I put on charge and threw it in my pocket ragging it out by lead (what was i thinking :eek:) and it kind of damaged the battery, luckly I was in 30 days and they sent me new phone which is SH24 and it has so many defects and had to fight for a replacement which comes Tuesday....

BUT every one that seems to have a scratch, wifi, flicker etc seem to be on SH, just clear my head and tell me that there are also defect HT models roaming around?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
lol everyone thought SH is less defected actually but in fact its just luck
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Thanks, I haven't been keeping up with the spots discussion. Do you think it's something to do with the lamination process?

"The 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD 2 display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is the new version that's thinner and stronger. We first saw the Gorilla Glass 2 back at CES 2012, though the glass manufacturer did not reveal then which handsets will be featuring the technology.

HTC also told us that the One X features optical lamination, a process through which the screen ends up laminated to the glass

, resulting in better viewing angles. We found this to be true, and having the screen so close to the glass makes it appear brighter and more visible under sunlight."

[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup that's the reason
[HTC One X] fcng:
It should get better

Dear All,

The manufacturing defects had streamlined as many new owners of HOX SH/HT25 have really good units except for a few lemons which is normal since it's a mass produced item. My turn to take the dive and buy my HOX now. Wish me luck.... :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X] Hassan99:
I've received my HOX back. They changed the Battery, Display, Unibody and the copper foil and update the software.

no new Hardware, on my screen was a sticker with a new S/N... beginning with 1JBA XXXXXXXXXX

I think it is the serial of the screen right?
[HTC One X] K0v4L:
I just received my hox last Thursday. It is ht25t. It's from o2, and I've been waiting 7 days to get it cause it was out of stock and o2 waited to get delivery from HTC. I'm very happy so far, no build issues, everything nicely assembled. After first charge I took 15h hours of usage, with 4.5 hour of screen on, but almost all the time on WiFi, just two hours on mobile data. No problems with overheat, but I'm not a gamer. With charger connected, browsing www, Facebook, lots of YouTube, rss, apps installing, and 20 minutes of playing defence zone hd, battery took 38.9 degrees. For me there is no issues with one x.
[HTC One X] Evren91:
well ht25 series good then
[HTC One X] stevov:
posted on this thread a month ago and my SH24RW is still flawless.:good:
[HTC One X] Chad_Petree:
I would wait until s27 are out , all phones made in July should have the WiFi implemented and luckily no more screen issues
[HTC One X] insp1r3:
Could you tell me whether ht25 has a ripple effect as previous ht23 and ht24. Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] erosq:
Mine too, my first HOX was SH range serial but found lots of problem like screen yellowish, screen easily distort when touch plus the dead pixel. After sending the unit to service center they changed the screen, board and battery. Serial starts now in MB and upto this time no problem found yet. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
You can't. But you can see the serial from the outside so could keep returning until you get a new one. You'd have to pay return postage though.

The 2 I got from Amazon in the last 3 weeks were both HT24s
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
There's no change in the way Wi-Fi's being implemented. It's the same dynamic tension connection mechanism they've used since they started building the phone. All they've done is added the spacers (in yellow below) to keep the back of the phone from being compressed. Where the connector's are isn't an area likely to be compressed (unintentionally) with or without the spacers.
[HTC One X] Chad_Petree:
I know its no major change , but it is a change thats now applied from the factories, that makes me feel more confident about buying the phone now, phones with s24, s25 dont have any fix at all :

I know you got them from amazon, but from which third party vendors? do they have any issues?
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Direct from Amazon. Only 1st had issues with overheating. 2nd seems fine.
[HTC One X] Chad_Petree:
No yellow screen? no wifi issues? no screen ripple? how much did you pay for it?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
That makes sense and I appreciate your reasoning. HT23-25's aren't ticking time bombs as many seem to imply. I have an early March-build HT23 that I've dropped a half dozen times and it's working as well today as it was three months ago. Here it is outperforming my UK 3G G-Tab 10.1 on my home network.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Nope. None of those. I paid £410

Not all early builds are bad.
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Well I sure wasn't reading back through 1 months worth of posts!...

Got my replacement which is sh251W and is flawless at present only had it for 2 days but have ran it through the defect thread several times :)
[HTC One X] Zulake:
I have one that starts with MB221 as serial. Seems to be a very rare serial.

No problems whatsoever anyway.
[HTC One X] muid02:
today i went to the store to check the price of HOX. they had both the colors. one started with sh25 and the other ht25. which one should i take?. which one should be bug free? atleast the probability of bug is less. they recommended me the black one as the white one will get dirty.
[HTC One X] koji54:
After a faulty SH25, I get a HT23ZW which has no defect for the moment. No overheating and no yellow spot. Gps and Wifi seems good. :good:
[HTC One X] Tw1tchy:
I have a SH23G which is a Shanghai China build on March 16th. The device is completely flawless. No overheating, yellow spots, light bleed, wifi problems, flickering, or anything. Battery lasts around 30 hours early on regular use. All 4 cores run fine at 1.4 ghz and I never had lag on any games. Benchmarks are always surprising. Even when I set it to 1 core with 1.1 ghz it runs 2x faster than my old nexus S at 1.2 ghz oc. My buddy got a HTC One X and he had flickering issues. The device seemed like it was handicapped. Sense lagged and games weren't as fluid. He swapped it with a few other HOX's and found one that has no issues but the raw power of the device still seems slightly slower than mine.
[HTC One X] shafez:
Mine is SH259 no problem at all except for the yellowish tent but it is getting better after 2 weeks of use.
[HTC One X] nikc0069:
SH255 here, no issues whatsoever.
[HTC One X] muid02:
just bought the HOX white 1hr ago. its still on charge. its sh26. what do u guys say? will it b flawless? should i be good or worry?
[HTC One X] ste1164:
It should be fine. But none of us can say as its your device.
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
I'm on my 3rd hox sh251 which has bad flicker issues ... Sent of to repair it came back exactly the same as when I sent it, the operator said send it again so we can have abit more time with it and if it comes back again unfixed they will offer me replacement, seriously never known so many bugs floating around in one device! ... Still love it though and will never give up onit until I have a flawless hox!
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Interesting, who can decode ht241w? Obviously Taiwan 2012 April but what's 1w.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you only care for the first letter or digit after the two numbers, ie: HT241 is April 1st

after HT/SH249 it will flip to letter and so

HT/SH24A would be April 10th

given that we didn't hear of anything higher than April 9th yet, i'm thinking 25 series is still far from delivery
[HTC One X] Squirrels:
1st of April 2012, not sure what the W is for but mine has it too.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
whats most interesting about this is that the One Xes i tested were from relatively the same days!

here is a list of my tested units, despite getting them and testing from all sort of retail sources, across 2 weeks! so definitely is very narrow sample range to draw conclusions about QC, BarryH_GEG was correct

Most of my bad luck came from Hsinchu, Taiwan April 2nd and 3rd! the only thing that i can assume is "bad days" lol

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Same as mine. Grey, Acer display, and (knock on wood) defect free. Since the phone's pre-assembled and then placed in the body, there's no reason they have to build all grey and then switch to white. Meaning, any pre-assembled phone could end up as either color during the last step of assembly. Are there examples of both colors being assembled on the same day? Like white HT23P's?
[HTC One X] Menschik:
HT23YW here :P - fault free as of now

And...

Dear All,

It seems that no one is currently holding a SH/HT25 HOX at the moment (members of XDA). From the looks of things, 23 and 24 varies in quality but only XDA members HOXs. There could be more trouble-free HOX out there. Hope the new SH/HT 25 owners post on this thread as the month goes on to see if production of HOX have improved. :)
[HTC One X] sacredabyss:
Is SHxx only for the grey onex or white onex as well?

outer edge ripple you mean? its normal unless its happening without pressure and no SH is just the Chinese factory has nothing to do with color

the newest One X reported so far ;)
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Well my serial No is not on that list!!!

My No is HT23XW108047

My phone has no defects!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
there is no list, im just converting the reportedserial range for people to read quicker, there is a batch every day and hence no list

HT23X Hsinchu, Taiwan, March 29
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
I also have a HT23X which is seemingly defectless albeit with a slightly bleeding notification light which doesn't really bother me that much, if it is even an issue, I have no reference point.
[HTC One X] fastphil:
I have HT247 its perfect no screen flex or flickering my first two where HT23 both had screen flicker one had yellow dots but had this over a week now no problems so far
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Ok thanks, blimey March the 29th huh, and i had the thing in my UK hands on April 5th!!!

[HTC One X] hamdir:
my friend just called me from retail he said he is unboxing a new batch of white One X

Sh24D and he is amazed by their quality, he said zero flaws to the screen and no grain under the screen, not even ripple

SH24D= Shanghai, China, 2012, April 13
[HTC One X] hamdir:
definitely QC is picking up with newer phones

Note to self: BE DAMN PATIENT NEXT TIME! :)

i still would have liked my HOX to be lamination grain free, oh well, i guess you can't have it all
[HTC One X] salman saso:
HT23

WIFI defective
[HTC One X] nagel:
Sounds like its time to order my HOX since better sets are being reported. Great news
[HTC One X] fcng:
promising.....

hamdir,

Will you see the new batch in person? HTC knows they're in for a tough time since s3 was released. If the quality doesn't pick up then they will be in deep trouble. We all know the s3 will sell no matter what happens as there is a fan base for the galaxy s series based on the s2. The early adapters definitely helped HTC iron out the kinks. HTC should congratulate the early adopters with an extra 25gb of dropbox storage in addition to the 25gb. Keep it up HTC......
[HTC One X] fcng:
hope so....

nagel,

It looks like the later batch of sh/ht 24 are making the turn for the better. I'm waiting till the stores are starting to receive the sh/ht25 batch to think about a HOX. The wait is killing me.....:D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Someone has reported HT24V (April 27)

which means its just 3 days away from HT25

but HT25 is not a code for better QC its just an indication of May build

still defects will always be possible so you should test it well
[HTC One X] fcng:
i know....

hamdir,

I know there will be minor defects but with the new batches the probability of screen flicker and others bugs could be reduced to minimal or nil....
[HTC One X] golu12:
Mine is HT245W made in Taoyuan, Taiwan.

Build like a tank, zero issues.

Except screen flickering which was 101% fixed by instant 1.28.

But how do i know if it has a misplaced speaker grille? :confused:
[HTC One X] ruizit0:
i have an HT23RW1.....

so what it means ? anyone can tell me :)
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
Late march Taiwan.
[HTC One X] nagel:
Hamdir, I read that you wanted to write a post on how to check the HOX at the shop. Have you written it yet?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
not yet will do it this weekend

been busy trying to create ultra mod for sense launcher

[HTC One X] Huey85:
HT23PW - everything's been great from day 1 (purchased on release day in Melbourne, Australia) till now. No build issues at all.
[HTC One X] nagel:
Great. Thanks a lot. :-)
[HTC One X] Matt_SWE:
My first one was HT23

My second device that im holding in my hand right now: SH24X.

Everything is fine i think. But the screen flex on the left side (middle) and it kind of annoys me. You can clearly feel a sharp edge on the left and with your eye you can see the screen stands up a little more on the left. Can see some ripple effect on both sides when i touch the sides of the screen.

EDIT: When I´m gently trying to push the screen down in the chassi (on the left side), it "clicks" loud and then it seems like it will have a more snug fit. But after a while the screen get back like it was in the first state.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
SH24X is an end of April batch, its sad to see they still struggle with this :mad:

are you confusing Flex with ripple, is your screen loose a little on the left?
[HTC One X] Matt_SWE:
Yes, maybe im confused :) Sorry.

Yes, it´s a bit loose on the left and if I gently push the screen at that place it flex and makes a loud clicking sound like the screen is not in place or something.

Im confused about the words i think, when I said ripple i meant that it is sensitive at the edges also and make waves on the screen.

Looked and compared with my friends grey HOX (HT23W) and it is rock solid!

Question is if im going to trade it in for a new one. Last time I waited a whole month to get a new one.
[HTC One X] Lubihn:
Hi,

got two HOX in front of me. One HT24 and one SH25.

I can tell you, that at least that two devices have no issues and no differences.

Apart from this, I can tell you a bit about working on quality failures in china:

I'm working for an good known german automobile manufacturer.

We've got a location in China, too. There's no comparison for how different the handling of qualitymanagement is.

In Germany, you face an issue on a product. Talk about it, solve it and the problem doesn't appear on the next day.

In China, you have to talk about the problem 50 times. Explain it to the whole factory. Have another 50 meetings to check if everyone agrees. Then, just when you think you got it, you check the product onces again and have to see, that the problem still appears.

So you start from the beginning.

You can be sure, that issues can be there for weeks... aaah... months!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
alright but thats china bro, the weird thing is HTC was Taiwanese builder before ever being a brand, they came to be as device builders for every brand during WinMO days

and since the days of the Diamond they made a reputations on build quality

you saw their high tech factories in the Nexus One making off videos and went :eek:

I show off every time my two friends who bought my HD2 and Desire HD come to tell me how their device flew in the air landed on concrete floor and flipped endlessly and yet came out with minimal scratshes (not to count the amount of times those same two phones hit the floor with me)

it's preplexing whats happening with the One X the amounts of random defects is so much that really the chance of getting a defect-less unit is actually not as high as you might think

believe me i'm yet to put two One Xs next to each other and match, difference in screen qualities despite being the same panel id, mainly because of so much variation in the purity of the screen glue and the side-lights

and whats worse most complaints are coming from the HT batches ie: Taiwan

Mine is SH248 built in 8April, i have a perfectly fit screen, no matter how many times the phone overheated the screen is still rock solid rigid and yet Matt_SWE's SH24X is built in 29April and came with the same old dreaded problem, screen being loose out of box...crazy
[HTC One X] wadelucy:
I was thinking to get this phone in Malaysia..but since i saw a lot forumer complain about the defects of this phone..still thinking when is the best time to get this phone in Malaysia..=(
[HTC One X] Lubihn:
It always can happen, that you're facing issues on a device out of the box.

No matter if it's a HTC, Sony, BMW or Mercedes...

I owned a HD2, too. Super smartphone! But it got it's problems, too.

My HD2's display was perfect. The colors were bright.

I've waited a couple of days and bought a second one for my girlfriend. And the screen was yellowish.

Today it's normal to find differences in devices of the same model. Different locations of production, different supplier for hardware-parts.

On top coming the problems from the production process and manufacturing tolerances.
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
HT23D here..no issues whatsoever..SD card storage missing issue is there though..

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[HTC One X] Matt_SWE:
I still have the flex and a loose screen on the left side (not glued very well), but I understand now that i also have a gap on the left side. I can see the gap and dust between the metalframe and the screen.

This was an O2 unit
[HTC One X] fcng:
The 25's are...

Lubihn,

The 25's are starting to get it right. If more new HOX owners post on this thread with new 25's then it is a good sign that HTC is improving on QC. Practice makes good but not perfect.... :D Keep it up HTC. :p
[HTC One X] fcng:
Taiwan or China?

hamdir,

It use to be Taiwan had better quality with their electronics. Now, China is climbing and in my opinion has surpassed Taiwan in quality for electronics. My Desire was Made in China and it has been flawless these past two years. No build issues but normal wear and tear. Yes, the QC is spotty as witnessed by the SH248 and the SH24X as you stated. But should we expect a higher rate of "a better built HOX" from China than Taiwan?
[HTC One X] fcng:
25 and later..

wadelucy,

There is no best time to get the HOX as we had witnessed you can get a flawless handset or a rotten apple from the same batch. On the other hand, the minimal SH/HT25 models that the new HOX owners had posted here are quite promising so its your call....;)
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
just got my replacement one x...its HT24AW...any idea when its made?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
..7, 8, 9, A, B, C..

April 10th
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
chee..thanks for the quick reply mate. :)

any idea whether i have hit the jackpot this time or not?

my previous hox was HT23FW so i gues it was march 15 by ur calculations. It was perfect in every sense, dint have any of the defects/issues but had the backlight bleeding around the lower left corner of the frame.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
your crazy i would keep the first one you had
[HTC One X] xchasa:
HT24TW white.

Perfect phone so far. Australia.
[HTC One X] devvfata1ity:
he he i admit i have a bit of OCD....

but honestly this new hox has the better screen. whites are pure milky whites :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the yellow screen is a lot better

the white does not have an pure 310dpi, the yellow is more sharp in pixel

why? because the Acer white one uses a less dense pixel grid

also better blacks/contrast

dont mean to ruin your party ;)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I know you said that based on your experience, but I am jealous of my friend's HOX which has the white one. The sharpness is really pretty much identical, but his black level and contrast is better than mine. Unless its like the variances in the HOXs themselves...and Acer has more than one variant of screen which would still come under the same vendor label.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok never-mind the contrast it can vary due to many reasons including the purity of the glue

but to help you stop being jealous

check the icons really close any icon with solid color you will see a sort of scan-lines pixel grid inside the solid color area, display tester go to color test and check the banding, the acer one has some banding at the top

just look into any solid area up-close and you will see the grid, if you have glasses and take them off its much more clear

the same sort of pseudo perceived density that pentile amoled screens causes, from distance or with if you have your glasses on the grid disappears due to being too small and hence you preceive it as the same sharpness

in comparison iphone 4 screen and the sharp screen on the One X has no pixel grid whats so ever, the solid areas are perfectly clean
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I had looked for that when I saw it previously but even if I stuck the phone near my nose I couldn't see it as you had suggested. No banding visible using those display testers either. His also goes a LOT brighter on max than mine which I guess would help in sunlight. I do have good eyesight, but I just cannot see the grid issue. I could see it easily on phones like the Morotola Atrix. Saturation on his is a bit high though. When you go the app drawer, the green icon at the bottom is literally luminous on his.
