[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
I just turned my phone on for the first time. I am planning to root it as soon as I complete all my tests to see that there is no malfunction that needs the use of waranty so root will take place in 3-5 days.

In the meantime I see that I have Android 4.0.4, build IMM76D.I9300XXALE8 but there is an OTA update available. I'm wondering, if I install the update, will the rooting process be harder, i.e. will I need downgrade or is the rooting irrelevant to build number (At least with the Desire HD, you had to have specific build either you need to downgrade)

If you are using cf root, and I advise it, then all will be good.here's a link to it

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123shree:
You may loose your root if you get a OTA update but rooting again isn't hard. ;)

you might not get any OTA update's if you are using CWM recovery... not sure about it.. somebody correct me if i'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
Thanks. I'll install the update now.

BTW, since you mention it, what's the main difference between the CF-Root 6.4 method that you advice and the TOOLKIT V4.0? I mean what makes CF-Root 6.4 better?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
my, and other people's, observations on rooted problems, and 2 years of using chainfires' roots and products. I have seen a few problems lately relating to the tool kit, and simplicity. Takes about 2 minutes to do the cf, including download time!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CF Root is the old method that just works . The toolkit is more than CF Root .

Simplest for a new user to root with CF root as it takes seconds .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
Are they equally safe? and will the toolkit also work even if I installed latest OTA update or will it need downgrade first?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Never had the need to use toolkit as its new .

OTA may not work on root .

OTA that does work will require reroot.

Hi there, does anyone else experience screen flicker after latest update? I have never had it before, but after updating it does it now and then. Is there any easy fix for it?
[HTC One X] Aja82:
Hi!

I experienced flicker after the update. After an factory reset and an battery charge it was gone. Now there's none. Maybe not an easy fix but worked for me!

Skickat från min HTC One X via Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Guys if I remember correctly, the flicker fix

works like this. It takes time to kick in. Just be patient few says and it should be better.

No action required. Just leave the kernel to do its job
[HTC One X] griffin0420:
In what application do you experience this flicker? is there a certain steps to encounter this? i haven't experience this yet. maybe a restart will help.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Grey background, white background, under lamp, in the dark. Depends, but if you don't have it or don't see it do not try to find it.

It's a big issue many threads, long threads, search :) but rather don't.
[HTC One X] Raider0001:
As i never had any flickering, i could presume it is very deep hardware fault and not a software issue, should be repaired by warranty
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Uf lets do not get this down this road again....

Please do not mention hardware fault again....It has nothing to do with this matter....

It might be a hw fault, malfunction, etc. But the ota before this .11 fought against it. Meaning the flickering was minimal or gone for most of us.

Now the technical description I do not know. But in more informed threads there was written that the kernel needs time to adapt to make the flickering go away. And most ppl that had flicker pre .11 were helped in matter of hours or days.

So I believe the flickering will be gone also after some usage. Lets get back to this in few days.

And guys who have nothing better to do as to say, it might be a hardware issue, please dont. I would like if only ppl that know what the flickering is about would write in this thread.

So if you never had it, dont have it now. Please ignore this thread ok?

Thank you :)

Dont wanna sound arrogant or condescending Raider, but I had fights about this already in custom rom threads. I do not wanna go there again. Sorry.

[HTC One X] PAGOT:
So 10 days after the update, even though I had few reflashes, so maybe that doesnt help much, but still the flickering is still there.

Anyone else still has flickering now after a longer 4.0.4 usage and did it get better for some?
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I had this before the update, then updated and waited 3 days on full brightness (i.read it has to settle with voltage or some stuff). Maybe you could try having it on full brightness? Not saying it will work & believe me, I understand your pain! Hope something works for you soon!

Keep us updated!:)

My HTC One X screen flickers only when on auto-brightness

Hi,

What do you mean exactly with 'screen-flicker' issues?

Different people use this description for some very different screen issues,

so I don't know if yours is severely bad or just minor...

I personally did experience some light screen flicker when the display is on auto-brightness,

the screen then has short periods where it quickly switches its brightness, and I assumed this

was normal because it's trying to adjust the brightness to the environment lighting.

This effect is easily noticed when scrolling the settings screen and is completely gone

when I deactivate auto-brightness.

maybe this can be helpful...

grtz
[HTC One X] benno4403:
I have the same thing going on.. it's like the backlight voltage is going up and down real fast.. after reading tons of topics on this matter I guess a lot of you guys are experiencing it.. so where is the official statement from HTC that the update should take up to two weeks to work for the screen???:confused:
[HTC One X] Murano1:
REBOOT

Just off with HTC after the update last week. (Stock phone not rooted) My One X has been freezing especially on Facebook and twice a day rebooting itself. Slight flickering when scrolling..All errors were logged. Soft reset and Hard reset carried out several times, but no improvement.

HTC have put a service call on it and collecting the phone Thursday.

:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Try flashing the RUU (this is the first thing HTC will do). It will wipe your phone, so back up. But test it before restoring.
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
Mine seems only to be flickering with Sense Launcher. No flickering with Nova Launcher. AND Nova is even smoother.

Can someone explain, what this flickering is? It's not similar to the 'Recent Apps'/Grey Colour is it?
[HTC One X] snapples:
I purchased a brand new HOX yesterday which had a screen flicker. The flicker was only noticed on white.

I turned the phone on and was pushed 3 software updates, one after another and thought that after the updates the screen flicker would be solved. I ended up with the 4.0.4 update and the screen flicker was still there. I did a full factory reset and the screen flicker seems to have gone.

I will keep my eye on it, because if needed I can return it for a replacement within 30 days.

Has a factory reset worked for anyone else after updating to 4.0.4?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Not that I know of. I mean that a factory reset helps.

After it was flickering for me. I decided to go and test a custom kernel. Before the only reason I couldn't go with a custom kernel was the flickering. Only on stock it didn't flicker for me.

So as it was flickering I tried faux again, and now I do not notice it anymore.

Maybe it needed time to settle, maybe the UV helped? Or that I shutdown the capacitive buttons lights? I do not know...

But it can also be the change of scenery. As I was before on another continent :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you need to wait till the update settles...
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
hamdir read this :

My first comment here in the thread with a typo, says = days:

And another one of me:

So I took the time :)

I know I need to wait. What I didn't was how long. Hoped like hours, days, took 3 weeks :)

And I am still not sure its gone, as said different scenery :) or the other stuff, lights on buttons off, UV, etc

Screen flickering

hey guys,

I have an Asia branded OS so it updated to the software number 2.17.707.3 today. There were no problems thusfar with my phone. Everything was running smoothly - heck even battery life was good at about 2days. The phone isnt rooted and the bootloader is still locked. Right after the thing rebooted, the the text was all over the place. Its like the text was overlaying on top of itself. It was all fuzzy and all that. I noticed that everything was running much smoother now with the update, but this problem has cropped up!?

Is this normal? I am pretty certain this is not what you guys define as a "screen flicker" problem is it? Has anyone else had this issue after update?!

What should I do!!!!! :( :( :( :(
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Restart it?

Factory reset it?

Install RUU?
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
tried

dude! ive restarted it many times it hasnt done jack...

ive got too much data on here to reset it yet but i am planning to do that first thing tomorrow morning once i make a decent backup.

after reading all the "the kernel will sort itself out" posts i figured i didnt need to escalate to RUU?

Ive got plenty of stuff to try out to see if it works, just informing everyone though - incase some one else has this issue and is suffering in silence!

:(

btw - my device is S-On... does that mean im bon*d if i wanted to flash a custom ROM + bootloader?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
are you sure you restarted properly? . Lets say without the fastboot?

Also S-ON means you are like the rest of us? If you wanna flash a custom rom, you need to unlock and most likely void your warranty.

Also why you would wanna flash a bootloader?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
99.99% of devices are S-On. You can unlock bootloader at htcdev, but it might affect your warranty and will delete data.

I don't think your problem is flickering, sounds like a graphical glitch, not heard of that since pre 1.28. No idea what it could be, but hopefully is software. I'd not unlock the phone until I knew it wasn't hardware.
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
unsure

good news on the S-On regard then, because i had an HTC One X before, unlocked the bootloader and all that jazz only to find that my speaker was crap. Hardware defect, so relocked it and sent it back for warranty. Warranty went through fine, this was my new phone. Was stable uptil this update. Was running APEX launcher on top just to avoid those laggy live wallpapers on the sense launcher instead of putting in a custom ROM.

Well, as for the restarts - i held down the power button for 10 seconds, it does that count down thingie and reboots. Did that about 3 times. Then i held the power button and told it to restart from the three item list. Did that about twice. Then did a shutdown the same way, once. No avail on all accounts.

Held down the power with the volume down key into bootloader, just for kicks... held down power to reboot. Thats pretty much what ive done so far.

however, im not sure if i turned off fastboot. Ill try with that and update.

as for the bootloader, well - i figured it was fine before this update ergo, good hardware? :confused: - i could just reflash a different ROM if i couldnt solve this issue via either a fac reset or RUU....
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
No avail

so i factory reset the phone... no cheese im afraid....

the only thing i havent tried yet is an RUU. And thats only because I have no clue as to how to do one, but theres a thread on here im sure i can follow that.

I have attached a zip file with some pictures of this issue. Make no mistake the images arent blurred, its the problem that im trying to convey!

anyone have any ideas? Anyway that i can test whether its not a hardware defect?

thanks for all the input btw guys! massive help!

cheers!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Why have you attached a zip of images? I can't view them from my phone, you've gone out of your way to make it hard for me.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
No problem watching this on my phone. :).

But to screen problem. Have you tried to squeeze your phone? Pressing the screen to the plastic stuff. Not sure how to explain better, but this seems to be a hardware problem.
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
running thing on patience

sorry about that buddy... its the only way i could attach more than one image that had enough quality to explain what I was ranting on about...

and I just tried squeezing the edges of the screen, then i squeezed from the top and bottom, then side to side. Even did a squeeze on the middle portion of the screen that made the LCD jiggle waves... still no cheese.

So the only thing that is left to do is a RUU and im really unclear as to what that is.. do i need to unlock the bootloader for and RUU or do i just find the appropriate update file for my phone and just flash it via normal bootloader?

anyone know any threads that i could possibly follow?

cheers!
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
If you still have it in warranty, go to a service centre. If it's really not far or difficult for you.

As for the ruu. Look in the stickies in the forums. Should be there.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Basically, if you have HTC sync (or android sdk?) installed, you double click the RUU and follow the on screen instructions.
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
thanks

thanks mate, just downloaded HTC sync

Ive also been on the forums for as much RUU help as possible... and finally got the RUU for my phone. I got these problems immediately after the reboot from the recent update to the ASIA WWE 2.17.707.3 OTA so downloading the same RUU. Freaking difficult to get hold of these RUU's...

anyway now i just need to sum up the courage to try and re-flash the same RUU that is installed. Hopefully this will clear out anything that couldve gone wrong while downloading OTA... (heres to hoping). I am also downloading the ASIA WWE 2.14.707.3 RUU as well, if incase the issue is with the 2.17 update.

I read that i cant re-flash any of the 1.9xx series of RUU's because the HBOOT version is different and that doesn't allow you to downgrade or something of the sort....

anyway... heres to hoping that its not hardware or else ill have to be phone-less till warranty goes through...for the second time. >__<" :painful:
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
still no change

so heres a small update guys...

I finally managed to sum up the courage to RUU.

i was running 2.17.707.3 before RUU and just to be safe, I RUU to the same thing. The screen issue is still there which rules out the fact that it could have been a faulty download or update.

Do you guys reckon I should try to RUU to 2.14.707.3 or should I just call it quits already and get on with claiming warranty? I dont want to RUU to 2.14 and find out that I cant bring it back to 2.17 for some odd reason and ruin my chances of warranty...

cheers!
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
How long did you run a ROM without changing, flashing?
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
i ran the 2.17.707.3 OTA update since mid last week when it was offered.

but then I posted some images of the issue for clarification and some guys thought it might be hardware related... which i too now fear.

also, i didnt flash it all this time because this thread said that the screen flicker issues would "sort itself out", if it were indeed screen flicker issues.

I didnt see any improvement at all on the problem i had, infact it just kept getting worse. Like the images, the splitting of the images onscreen have become further apart... and now its just dizzying to even look at the screen...
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Ah sorry, I got confused which one you were. You were the one with the fuzzy images.

Yeah this is not screen flicker. What you have is some sort of screen corruption. Really take it for warranty if you can.
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
Thanks!

Roger that Pagot,

thanks sooo much for the help and advice guys!! i will prepare the phone to be sent off then.

Sigh... I cant believe this is the 3rd HTC One X ill be receiving if the warranty goes through...

Heck, I know i should be dancing about considering ill be getting a new bloody phone but then again... the trouble of resyncing all the shiz i had on there...

:headache:

oh well!

im sorry if i soiled this thread with these issues which is CLEARLY not screen flicker mates! :D
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
No worries about that, btw there is a backup function you can use.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1581653

Also your issue reminded me of a guy who had screen corruption in half of his screen and in his case it was a contact or something, which led him to break his screen while testing or repairing or I do not even remember :D.

But thats why I said before to try to squeeze it, if it doesn't get better.
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
I see!

Cheers for the help dude! and I used my backup to get out all the things i could. The rest of the stuff like my contacts photos and things are mostly on the cloud so no big headaches.

Im sure ill live through that if these buggers let me claim warranty for the 3rd time! LMFAO!
[HTC One X] yoshiiiw:
Warranty down the drain...

Once again, a small update for those who are curious as to what happened with my screen corruption issue.

I sent the phone back for warranty, but I dont know if i mentioned that there was a very tiny glass crack on the side of the screen. It was more of an indent really, like the indent you get when you a sharp point meets glass. well anyway, i was hoping theyd never see that cus i did infact drop the phone but it was from like 4 inches - from my pocket to my concrete porch WHILE SITTING DOWN.... >__<"

anyway -they noticed that and they fed me the legal crap "this phone has been physically damaged and therefore you cannot claim the warranty".

apparently, the phone was dropped and that had caused a "hairline fracture in the LCD... O__O

i wasnt born yesterday... that phone worked with no problems at all for 2 weeks after that drop... and if LCD's crack from a drop of 4 inches then thats just ridiculous.

Whatever the case, they charged me 280 AU$ to get a new LCD panel and screen in. I coughed it up cus i need my phone back asap... only consolation i have is that once they repair it, they will give me ANOTHER 12 months warranty which makes it seem not so bad a deal... ISH.

I bought my phone from Mobicity (the website) and the people who are repairing the phones identified them selves as Sydney cellular.

what do you guys think?

was i ripped off?
