Give another try and put thiner thermal pad on both places instead of thermal paste!
[HTC One X] las_kjam:
Is the One X you fixed still working problem free? Thanks
[HTC One X] chaikowsky:
Yes! It still working without any glitches or any screen turn on issue!

P.S. If for someone is interesting immediately after fix I installed Blade Elite ROM and updated radio with 5.1.204.162A.29, so from this moment till now the phone is working absolutely perfectly!
[HTC One X] las_kjam:
Thanks for your quick replys, I think you should start a post and put all the images and instructions in cuz i think there are a lot of people

having this issue, this way everyone will share their experience and mods to improve the fix.
[HTC One X] Marius The Boss:
Yes,that would be great!
[HTC One X] chaikowsky:
Hey Guys do you think that my previous explanation and instructions above is not so clear?

I ask that because for me it is simple and easy, but....!?
[HTC One X] las_kjam:
Why are you taking this personal, your instructions are clear but I only meant that when you start a new post people can find it easier and find all info in one place, and it will be a post dedicated to the fix, not a reply to another post like it is now.
[HTC One X] eyfa:
You mate are a genius. You gave me a hope. Will try it.
[HTC One X] eyfa:
Your posts are quiet clear, dude, but you should make a guide to help more people. It was too difficult to me to find this thread. I created new thread, then one fellow offered me this thread. You can do this procedure more easier. :)

Btw, how to open the metal shield on the motherboard, i can't reach the chip?
[HTC One X] chaikowsky:
OK I get it, but at the moment I don't have a time to start new thread -sorry but too much busy at work! :rolleyes:

Use some tiny screwdriver or tweezers or something other appropriately and start gently to push up from each side and be veeeery careful to not destroy some near nano-cap or resistor! Just patience and thats all!

I have made same stupid mistake and was forced to buy special soldering equipment and make many practice on dead boards to restore them!:silly::laugh:
[HTC One X] eyfa:
Hey mate, did it. But i did something more than just put thermal pads. At first i followed your instructions. Did not work. I read that, tegra chip must be hardly pressed to the mohterboard. I followed instructions, then put thermal pads. Now it is working without any problem. I think the main problem is related to overheat. After that tegra chip pulls out from motherboard that causes glitches and blank screen.
[HTC One X] Marius The Boss:
how did you replaced the tegra 3 chip on the motherboard?
[HTC One X] 20545ZR16:
From your post I see that you did press back the tegra3 chip to motherboard,

Is it correct???

If so could you please share how did you do it????
[HTC One X] dmonium:
Hey mate

coulfd you make a video of this?

Some mate have this issue, And we need to solve this problem

Thanks so much
[HTC One X] eyfa:
Hi mate. If you faced to this problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFvABvJXDc8 and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1nzQc2DCKU, It is completely hardware issue. So if you have warranty, go and replace motherboard, else you need to open your device on your own risk or if you are not sure that you can do it yourserf give it to a master. You can use this video to open HOX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vdrbiBePA To press the chip i used nothing, just fingers. pressed on both sides, thats all. Then i put thermal pad on the chip to avoid overheat issues. It helped, but I think its a temporary solution.

Unfortunately there is no video. But if you read the whole thread you can find photos above.
[HTC One X] 20545ZR16:
As you said this is a temporary solution,

Moreover I have blast the chip with a air soldering gun in an attempt to solder it back to motherboard, put thermal pads and everything but the problem is by far much worse when unit is cold.

yesterday I forgot my hox in the car for like 2 hours, went back to pick it up and it was hot as hell with a 100% trouble free and screen working like a charm until it cools back to normal temp.
[HTC One X] eyfa:
My device is still working without any glitches, i'm using it with full brightness mode. After this issue, to be honest i'm very disappointed in HOX
[HTC One X] las_kjam:
glad to here you problem is solved, how many days it has been since you did the fix? Is it still problem free? If so, I think this is a hardware fix. I was even thinking of a way to hold the tegra 3 chip on place. I will figure it out once i do the fix myself.
[HTC One X] eyfa:
Its completely the hardware problem. It work problem free about 9-10 days. But want to say that as there were replaced thermal pads on the chip device became little bit thicker than original. And be careful with the screen. Because i made a black mark on screen about 5mm diameter. I don't know what happened. may be it caused when i pressed the screen on backside. Anyway, the device is working now.
[HTC One X] 20545ZR16:
Can you try doing the following before attempting to fix it???

Navigate to developer menu and make the screen to stay awake during charging.

Then put brightness to max and plug in the charger for a two hours.

Do this and check if the phone will be trouble free for like 6 to 7 days before the issue reappear.

I have discovered this by accident :)

Ps: do it at your own risk.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
updates on my situation

I have shipped my device back to were I purchased originally a year ago since international warranty only covers software problems ( as I need help at that lol ) since my brother is still there I didnt have a problem to get it delivered to HTC repairing center at first they told him that the device has been manufactured 16 months (as all early manufactured motherboards have been faulty ) and he have to show the receipt of purchase , after showing prove of purchase (which was less than year ago by only couple of weeks ) they approved to replace the mother-board though my device was rooted for free and i will recive my device within this week
[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
Hello

i have the same problem,when i put the phone on the fridge,and take it out, the screen its working.afte some minutes the phone its geting hot and the screen stops showing.also i dont have the warranty.my question is,a store that works in robotic level in the motherboard of the HTC one x,i am waiting for the diagnose.

what do you think guys can they fixed?
[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
Hello guyw sorry for my english.

they told me they cant fix the motherboard.but i tried and fixed myself.

here is the steps:

1)take aprt the phone.

2)and then heat the chips of the phone(tegra chip,ic chip,and samsung chip) heat with a hair dryer until tou feel the chips are wxtreme hot.

4)then clean with aithanol,and heat again to dry of

3)then push hard the chip.

5)then afte a few minutes put the phone in the fridge,for 10 minutes

6)and the phone works perfect.i have using my phone for 24 hours :D without a problem

this way its what i tried,i dont promise it will work with your phone but,its free :D
[HTC One X] 20545ZR16:
Give it 4 to 6 days then report back again :)
[HTC One X] urshobhit:
can you post the pic of the chips we need to heat ? that will be of great help.
[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
sorry my friend i cant,the only camera its my mobile phone :(

but hre it is

the nvidia chip and the marked ones,and in the other side you will see a big chip samsung.
[HTC One X] vaipetr:
Hi guys, can anyone tell me roughly what size is the tegra3 chip? so that I know what dimensions to look for when ordering thermal pads. thank you
[HTC One X] urshobhit:
[MENTION=4081538]TEOKARAFOU[/MENTION] is your phone still working fine ?
[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
Yes but here is my opinion.

The phone is getting hot ,but if you are gaming,and then the screen,makes the same problem.

Personally I don't play games so I am ok,its a free way to fix the phone :)

I will report in one week again .how the phone its going.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCKSTAR XS:
So I got the 32gb Verizon 3g/wifi Motorola xoom off daily steals (hasn't arrived yet). If I'm correct it comes with 3.1 but is upgradable to 4.0. I don't intend on using it on Verizons 3g network but I do intend on using it on my wifi. I have a nexus 7 and I'm loving jb so I want to eventually get 4.1 on it. I could always root but I always second guess myself on whether I should or not. Are the jb roms stable enough for daily drivers? Is it possible to get the stock jb update that went to the wifi only version? If not should I root on 3.1 or 4.0?

Edit: so I did a little research and from what I've read the eos jb roms are the best but I failed to find one for a US Verizon 3g/wifi xoom. Would the US wifi only one located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764751 work and just disable 3g capabilities like some have said

7 inches is a bit strange for such a device, but why not ? I'm an Xperia Player and I'd love to try that device.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Ghuntar WALDMEISTER:
Yes 7" seem a bit big for a handheld console. But I'm interested though. I just have to test these physical buttons/pads before buying (what is the point of leaving questionable touch controls for bad physical ones). Let's hope XperiaPlay and Ouya compatible games will be easily playable. At least 8/16/32 bit emulators would be great.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] Ghuntar WALDMEISTER:
For 200$ and without physical button... It's not better or worse, that is just something else...

You'd better compare this Archos gamepad with yinlips and JXD Android consoles.

Yeah, I read it just after posting here last time... It just seems I can not find a good android handheld console, hopefully until Archos Gamepad.

I'm looking for ICS, 6 buttons (2 shoulders), and one analog stick (all this is a minimum). Do not forget good perfs on emulators.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] baladev:
yeah, i think you've completely missed the point..

Release Date

I can't wait for this to come out. Though shame there's not many sites which offer pre-orders.

I contacted a seller who's offering a pre-order and they said that the date of release is Friday 16th November with a price of £122 ( ex delivery) though nothings set in stone until announced publicly from Archos themselves. Which apparently is within the next week or so.

Either way fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

[Gen9, Gen10 General] baladev:
It seems as if GamePad suffers from the same problem the first generation of Chinese android consoles suffered from - some combinations of buttons don't work. Look here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjas85fKD9I

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2x8SL3x5Q4

With the Chinese consoles the problem couldn't be fixed by firmware upgrades. If that's the case, it would mean that GamePad is seriously flawed and that Archos didn't put enough care into designing it properly.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
If someone could summarise the button combinations that supposedly don't work I will try them on my lunch break and post the results.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] neur0mans3r:
From the videos it appears that D Pad buttons (down button in the video) don't work if the L1, L2, R1 or R2 buttons are pressed.

Also, multi button D Pad presses (down+left or down+right) are not recognized always.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
Hi guys.

I keep testing about this issue and i get some things clear.

auto-quote myself from another forum (dingoonity)

note: apologize my poor english.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
Hi Jonny.

Did you tested your device?

I'm looking for a guy that confirm (or not) the same issue.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
I have just briefly tested.

I loaded up Zelda: A Link To The Past in snesdroid and tried to run diagonally. I could run up/left and down/left but, as you say, it did not work running up/right down/right :(

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

The Archos development team are looking into it according to their facebook page. They claim it is

not

hardware but software. I doubt their claims though.

http://www.facebook.com/Archosworldwide?fref=ts
[Gen9, Gen10 General] littleguy77:
Really hard to imagine such a glaring hardware bug could have slipped through all the testing and debugging sessions... the d-pad is so fundamental to the device's identity. Seems it would have been used constantly by both the programmers and the industrial designers. My bet is they did some last minute optimizations for button latency and the bug slipped in. I'd wager money on it.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
Archos have requested that I discuss this with them via email so I will be sure to let you know the results.

As I seem to have opened a dialogue with their developers does anyone have any other questions I could try to get answered?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] cajl:
i send a mail for this problem to the R&D of Archos
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
I have established that this is not a hardware issue in so much as all keys can be registered in conjunction.

However, it is a hardware issue in so much as the act of pressing, for example, 'down' seems to move the internal connector for 'right' away from 'right' such that in order to activate both at once (down and right) you have to push extremely firmly. The good news is that after just a few minutes of testing this the buttons seem to be worn in and now activate much more easily.

There is a caveat to this - during my experimenting I discovered that holding R1 makes 'down' unresponsive.

The way I tested all of the above was as follows:

1- Switch on developer options (settings > developer options > slider in top right)

2- Switch on ‘show touches’ in the input section

3- Go to the gallery app and open any image

4- Open the mapping tool and map a button anywhere on the screen for each of the buttons on the dpad

5- Carry out the button combinations – you should see a white spot on the screen (that’s the dev tool) for each one you press and let me know if there are any combos that aren’t working.

These tests were carried out following a discussion with Archos via email. They are being extremely helpful.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
hi Jonny.

In fact, is not necessary to open any image. with any game and the same map tool from archos you can reproduce the same issue.

and as i think too, this appear to be a software issue (not hardware)

did Archos tell you will release a patch or firmware to solve this?

edit:

sorry, i missunderstand your message (apologize, i'm not english spoken)

then, do you think is a hardware issue? (sorry, i'm confused)

there are another hard to do combo: Up+Right.

can you test if you press these both buttons for a while, the command keep running ok? (diagonal up+right)

i tried with the cassette testing rom from SNES, that show visually the keys you're pressing.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
The reason for using gallery is to avoid any conflict that may occur in a game as they can read the inputs of keys differently.

Up right and down right were the 2 I tested. What my testing proves is the Gamepad is capable of combined button presses on all buttons. It is (I think) that physically the connection is hard to make when you press up and right. I am referring to the components inside the Gamepad that make the electrical connection when a button is pressed. I am still speaking to Archos who will have their own thoughts on this discovery but if I am right there will not be a software fix. I will keep using my Gamepad and see if the buttons become easier to press once I have used them for a while.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
then, if the issue is related to hard pressing buttons, may be solved using some modding similar to Droid X360, right?

I mean something like this.

(sorry, i cannot put link. search for droid x360 simple mod on google)

I'll looking for your post to get any info about this.

greetings!
[Gen9, Gen10 General] baladev:
If that's the case, then Archos have done a ****y job. A lot of people have been disapointed by the choice of a separated d-pad by Archos, which many find uncomphortable to use, unlike a one piece d-pad used by Nintendo and others, then they have an underperforming battery, and now this... This is just getting a bit too much, even for me, someone who really wanted to get this device, and will certainly push a lot of people away from GamePad and right towards the upcoming JXD S7300, which many expect to be a well designed console, because it's like 5th generation or something.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
Hi,

I am still talking to Archos and I am making them aware of this thread and all the testing done by others.

I still think this is about having to push the buttons hard to get them to work (and yes, would guess a mod would help).

If I apply a large amount of pressure to both buttons I always get a successful diagonal movement where as if I press normally I do not. I don't see that being software.

I have already reported that holding 'R1' does cause a problem with the 'down' button on the D-Pad and will let you know their response.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
linehic moved

can you post a video showing when you're pressing hard the buttons, this respond correctly?

i mean, press for a while.

as i said before, in my testings i don´t need to press hard the Right and Down buttons, to get sometimes them to works

sometimes (rarely) i get them to work together for more than 2 seconds.

and insist, i don´t need to press hard them to get working. I think you have the same issue, but you're getting working as me (sometimes) but you're thinking is by pressing hard the buttons. (is my impression based on what you're saying.)

anyway, if you can post a video showing this i can get a clear idea about how you're doing these testings. ^_^

greetings!
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Jonnyapps:
I will post a video tonight if I get a chance.

To confirm, I hold both up and right together hard and both buttons work properly, for a long period of time.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Deen0X:
ok. i get the clue to get up+right to work

if i press hard these two are not working.

if i press softly (progressive to hard) in sometime i can get both working, not hard pressing, but mid strong both buttons, i can get to work together.

then in this case you may be right. this may be about component quality

but down+right (or down + any other button)

i grab another video to confirm this.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] jlino83:
I'm getting a bit worried about this...

Archos doesn'r respond to any of my mails; We kind of all agree it's a software problem; There is silence in the air...

Does any one know anything more about this? Is Archos responding to you Deen0X?
