[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
my friend Tigerlight.

if i make a Reballing will the fix be permanent?
[HTC One X] TEOKARAFOU:
Tigerlight I was not using No clean flux -_-

Its essential for the reflow?

In a few days and probably from two different repair laboratories i received two new hox from htc having this issues ( buyed from different retail distributor and one of them unlocked with custom rom and the other relocked with stock JB rom.

Hope same luck for you all guys...and backup all sd data... of corse.
[HTC One X] varg300:
How are your phones holding up after wedging those thermal pads between the CPU and LCD? Are they still working without any problems?

I tried taking my phone to a repair-center, but they did not want to fix it for free as my screen is cracked, and of corse, "that's why the phone is not working..." -even though the phone was working for months with the cracked screen.

So it looks like I'm gonna try this myself.

Have anybody tried sandwitching some of the other chips as well, or is it enough just to sandwitch the tegra3?
[HTC One X] epiteto:
One is perfect and the other seems to overheating a little.

Maybe this is an italian strategy...cause they gave me two TIM ( italian career) branded phones with blue film coverage and new IMEI's.

I think it depends on devices out of distributions due some other issue.

TIM offered couple of months ago this branded phone at €350, people ordered theme and never arrived....the retails gave back money but not sent phones...it is all very strange...:confused:
[HTC One X] Philalethes:
Hi,

I have an One X that developed the exact same problem that people seem to be having in this thread. My phone was under warranty and I have just picked it up from the repair shop and had a talk with the guys there.

It does seem to be the chip malfunction that others have established but it also somehow affects the battery. They told me just replacing the motherboard did not completely fix the issue, it only went away entirely with replacing the battery as well. So my phone had to be issued with both a new motherboard (new imei and everything) and a new battery to totally get rid of the problem.

I had a relocked bootloader but they didnt seem to mind.

Perhaps this doesnt help those without warranty, but at least we know whats going on. It is an accepted problem in some of the earlier production models that hits a rather low percent of devices but there you go.

cheers
[HTC One X] midoriconcept:
Will never buy another HTC unless they pay me. The HOX is a fragile phone with laughable battery life, ridiculous camera and with overheating issues.

Same here, I think. Screen was not turning on sometimes, or was flickering like a mad. This was very bad when it was hot.

Sent it once to support, went back with 'Issue not found' and I had to resent it back.

Now it is back with new motherboard and the issue is apparently gone.

Had relocked bootloader and at the phone they told me I had to pay for the repair, but when I replied that it was clearly and hardware problem they told me that if it was an hardware problem the repair was free. To me looked like they tried to charge me at first.

All in all I was without a phone for a month.

Not happy
[HTC One X] CSwifty:
Same! Was without phone for a month, got sent a brand new HTC One X by Vodafone! 3 days later, SAME ISSUE!

Surely this cannot be hardware when i've had the phone for 3 days, took the plastic covers off it myself and it's got this problem!!

[HTC One X] chromiumblue:
I had the exact same experience with my device and HTC. They sent me what appears to be a new device. After about 6 months the screen is dead. Never say never, but I have no desire to use an HTC device again, any time soon.

Anyone know if the nvidia chipset can be replaced?

Not for me

I tried the method you mention, but it did not work. If anyone could make a video with detailed instructions, it would be great. My HOX started with the flickering screen issue about a month ago. My guarantee period ended just 1 or 2 days before the phone started showing issues. My wifi didn't work correctly, so I thought "what the heck, let's repair it". Three days after opening the phone and putting some soldering to make the wifi work correctly, the flickering screen appeared. By now it's a miracle if my screen turns on, and as soon as the phone warms up (not hot, just warm) the screen stops working. I tried with the "cardboard in the flex cable" method but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure I read that changing the 220 coil near the nvidia can help but at this point I just don't know what to do.

Has anyone found a solution to this? or can you guys point me to a page where I can get a working 32GB motherboard? I mean, in the end it should be safer/cheaper to buy the motherboard and just change it than buying the whole thing, right?
[HTC One X] ganny:
I should have come back and posted, sorry. It turns out that my phone worked perfect for a day. No issues whatsoever.

But then the next day when I woke up, it wasn't working again. I saw videos about the 220 coil (which will probably solve it), but either way I now have a beautiful Nexus 5, so I don't think I'll be pursuing a fix for my One X.
[HTC One X] date0:
Info on the pieces

Thanks for the info. It looks like a very delicate process and I definitely wanted to avoid it since I don't have the tools needed and my hands are a bit shaky. However, I found a guy willing to do this for about 30 bucks if I provided the pieces. Problem is I live in Mexico and HOX motherboards aren't exactly abundant around here. I found a cellphone "junkyard" so to speak and was wondering if anybody know on which other phones I can find the pieces shown in the image it would really help me. For now I know the 220 coil can be foun on nokia 5200 and Sony. How about the CI and the other coil in the image?

[HTC One X] zakarados:
So, this started happening on my HOX last week. It seems to me to be a software issue (although I've tried 3 different ROMS and still got the same issue) when the phone goes into deep sleep, the screen will not coming back. BUT, hard power reset will bring the screen back 100% of the time, if it was hardware issue, this would not be the case.

I tried Sense 5.0, Sense 4.1+ and CM10.2. All have the same issue, but the install process of a new ROM never has any issues with the screen.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Tryt something. Turn on the screen and do pressure between the right down side on the main camera and display and report back. I think you have BFD and it is not software releated it is hardware and probably you will must to change the mainboard. Check my method
[HTC One X] zakarados:
I tried the pressure test, and no black screen. I am going to unroot, stock recovery, RUU now and see what happens. I am certain it is software.

Another strange symptom I'm getting now is, I press power, and the touchscreen is active but the screen is not, if i lock unlock a few times, it will come back on. After a while though, it just never comes back.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Yes but when you do the pressure are the display flickering or something strange it si look exactly like BFD.

problem on my htc one x

Hi i m facing the same problem now , is that your problem solve? Now my data in my phone cannot transfer out .
[HTC One X] nanaki45:
TRy to use "myphoneexplorer" ... you can use your phone pluged with usb on pc ... just sync then tools -> screen capture and check the refresh option ... you can use the tactil through the software ... Good luck
[HTC One X] rehan2k:
i have same issue with you guys. now for temporary solution is

placing an object on top of the processor nvidia or other and perform tightening the nut on the pcb board. Great position (an object) determines good results. so the result will be a little inflated. but it works. not spend money at all for the service. :good:
[HTC One X] Thant:
It will be good if you post some picture!!!
[HTC One X] dan_bremen:
Yes please, same problem here! I tried to reflow the nVidia chip but problem persists :crying:
[HTC One X] asemboh:
Hi everyone,

I have HOX and its have a problem on the screen, when my phone get hot i cannot use the touchscreen but sound and power button are fine.

So yesterday, i repaired my HOX as chaikowsky said and now it works perfectly. But i didn't use thermal pad, i use thermal tape because its hard to find thermal pad in my location. I placed 4 layers thermal tape between the metal shield that covers tegra3 processor and the LCD. Why i do this that's because my battery are glued so i can not remove the wire under battery that connect motherboard and sensor (i think). The motherboard can not be remove from LCD, its only can be uplift so i can not remove metal shield that covers tegra3 processor.

This is the cable below the battery :

and this is where i put my thermal tape :

*sorry i forgot to take a picture from my HOX when repairing, so i take a screen shoot from a video how to disassembly HOX*

htc one x screen flickering bsod fix

Hi

My Htc one X (international varient) had issues with screen corruption for months and waking up the backlight from cold was also an issue but pressing directly under the outer camera hard would often wake the device out of its coma anyway my issues are resolved for 4 hours now but ill repost if that changes whether or not this fix is permanent its too early for me to tell but i suspect so anyway below my possible solution followed my explanation.

I cracked the back cover open by following a short tutorial on dissassembly of one x via youtube and found my battery was glued down to my device and layered with a copper sheet which covered most of the inside of the phone, i ripped up the copper sheet intact from the device and took it out of my device and pulled the battery out while being careful not to tear or detatch the battery connection ribbon so the battery was still attached but loose so i could get access to the flex cables below (i read earlier someone said something about the bend in the flex having a fault or maybe that was just atnt version ive honestly read every forum about this and nobodys specific about versions when posting complaints and possible resolutions which i found confusing) anyway i remembered that holding the screen below the camera made it work and noticed a piece of metal put by htc to shield the components on motherboard i took this off gently with a pry tool and reassembled my phobe back to normal and no problems since.

Anyway im looking at this piece of metal which would have been located were i have been pressing below the camera and notice its warped and

im thinking that could this thing be either not making full contact to components when its supposed to or making too much contact and contributing to heat, im not an electronic engineer so im not sure. Anyway i read somewhere about nvidia chips in hox not being secured properly n i guess that could possibly be to do with it maybe causing the metal protection plate to warp or maybe i havnt a clue lol but i can now wake the device when i like and it will wake up properly and i havnt had any visual artifacts and i cudnt use my phone for 5 minutes without issue previously and i didnt put any new replacement coils in or anything. Maybe it will work for you like it did for me.

Black Screen issue

Hey Guys

Yesterday I tried unlocking my phone but the screen didn't turn on, but instead i could barely see the screen if I shined a torch at it. Since my phone is out of warranty I opened the back casing too see if the screen connector had disconnected. I tried unlocking my phone when it wasn't inside the case and for some reason the phone worked perfectly. I could turn the screen on and it would turn on and all the functions of the phone were available. Thinking I solved the problem I put the phone assembly back into the back casing and tried to turn on the screen. This attempt proved unsuccessful. I then took the phone assembly out again and hard rebooted the phone. The screen worked again, but when I pressed the left edge of the screen and phone assembly the screen went black and I couldn't get it to work without hard rebooting the phone. I then realized that pressing the left edge of the screen where it meets the phone assembly completely disables it. I can now only use my phone if it is not in the back casing and without pressing the left edge of the screen. The symptoms are very strange and I have gone through many forums without any success on finding the solution. The screen has been replaced twice due to dropping the phone and cracking the glass. I have had the phone for about 3 weeks since the screen was last repaired (was taking a picture on the street and someone pumped into me, pushing the phone out of my hands and onto the concrete below). I would really appreciate it if you guys could tell me what to do. The repair shop has a two month warranty on their work so I can take it back to them, however I would like it if there was a DIY solution to this, rather than having to wait to get my phone back. Sorry for the long post.

Thanks in advance

[HTC One X] the me:
i do fix mine by change the 220 coil by 110(from sony motherboard) , very stable with no heat .
[HTC One X] :
I also had the same problem and I thought to repair it. So I opened it today and try to put some paper between the folded flex cable. It didnt worked. While putting the cable back , I broke a small thing on the motherboard. I'll try to explain what it is..

Its just above the the socket where the folded flex cable is attached to the motherboard. Its a small metal plate hanging and inserted into another metal loop. There are several other loops like that on the motherboard which are bigger in size. These metal loops touches the back panel of the phone.

And now the screen wont turn on at all... what should i do now. If you want, i can open the phone again to take a picture of the loop that I broke..

Edit :- I broke the thing in the red circle.. Not the whole thing. But the small metal loop that holds the part thats left in the red circle.. :crying:
[HTC One X] twiztednibbz:
i was under the impression those are contacts for the ariel and or wifi between the inside and the shell

i also have a screen that has no back lights since the lcd was replaced. it worked perfect before a broken digitiser and it was only 25 quid for both so i bought both installed them a few times to make sure seated properly but i still have no backlight and half of the lcd is black..
[HTC One X] shiru23:
My HOX is having this problem.

Does anyone know a place to change the 220 coil of my HOX near Orlando or Boston? Is this a thing I can do it by myself without knowledge of electronics?

I live in Brazil but will be going on vacation to Orlando and Boston in october.

Thanks for your help.

HOX Cable fold

As described in this post http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-x-help/1124-htc-one-x-black-screen-problem-3.html#post9179 you just put some slim thing in the fold area of the cable shown in the image and voila... I'm going to try this today, maybe tomorrow if I got no time for it and let you guys know.
[HTC One X] AlexAndroid:
Hello, first of all I apologize for my English.

I'm having the same problem as all of you, black screen, the rest works perfect.

I bought the new display but the problem is, I have also tried to put on a plastic GPU exactly size, the thickness of a credit card, to make pressure, but neither has been the solution.

I feel that heats basante the GPU, as soon as I turn. Believe that with the thermal tape disminusca temperature and the problem is solved? Where could pull that tape?
[HTC One X] marknoll:
Mine was due to a flex cable that was ajar.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
Say wat? This thread has been here forever, and only 2 pages in length. U say wtf is with HTC, I say wtf is with u. Every product has its defects. HTC solved most of their problems after their may batches.

My phone screen broke down on me. HTC Canada sent me a brand new phone. Now that's customer support.

overheating

Hello, first excuse my bad english.

I had the same problem with my HOX, so I decided to dismantle it after trying to install a new rom RUU and also unsuccessfully against the problem. After disassembling the unit could verify that it is a problem of overheating the chip TEGRA 3. So I would informations if there is any APP that lowers the "pontencia" chip. Believing so it will work cooler. For with the cell dismantled, just blow the chip under the screen instantly lights up again.
[HTC One X] extrem0:
So, none here has the us version (snapdragon)?
[HTC One X] reslan_912:
disassembled mine! And seems the problem with damaged IC which leads to tegra overheat! And screen wont turn on! So Folks its hardware issue!
[HTC One X] skr_xd:
Overheat and screen problems always expected with Nvidia chips, whether it is phone or HP laptop.
[HTC One X] EmeraldSheep:
Hi Guys, Ive had similar problems too. I have had my HTC since April, upgraded the software about a month or 2 ago when it was available in the UK, about a week or 2 after the update, the screen wouldnt light up when i was pressing the unlock button although the three touch buttons at the botton would light up and it would let me press the volume buttons at the side but no response from the screen. I contacted HTC and they told me to factory reset the handset, I did that but an hour or 2 later it was back to the same problem.

i took the handset back to the store I got it from they factory reset it again and still no joy. They sent it away to get repaired. A week later i got it back saying it was a software problem and that they cleaned the software and handset. that was fine for about a 2-3 day before it started doing the same thing again. also i tried using the camera and the screen went green and pixelated and fuzzy and the home screen was doing that aswell eventually when i could access the home screen. Last week i took the phone back to the store again for repair, they sent it away again and yesterday i got it back with the repair sheet saying they have replaced the screen and there was a problem with the battery aswell but over the course of yesterday and today, the problem is still not fixed, i still cannot access the screen when im pressing the unlock button. as i said it is just the 3 buttons at the bottom that light up. SO FRUSTRATING!

What else can I do? Any suggestions please, im fed up running back and forward for repairs of the same problem, it must be a faulty handest.
[HTC One X] onat_kippz:
Me too... have this problem....

I already reformat, relock, hard reset, flashed different custom roms, revert back to stock & unroot, reflashed the RUU, but seems no one fixes the prob... my software is 2.17.707.3 WWE... some say on the other threads, it's because of this latest update version, so my last chance to fix this is to wait for the Official Jelly Bean update.. If not i'll bring it to HTC Service Center.... by the way i'm form the Philippines, hope they bring the update immediately...
[HTC One X] 20545ZR16:
Hello Everyone,

i am having the same issue as the OP, like everybody i have factory reset the handset but the problem persist

did anyone has this fixed??? and what was the solution???

thx.
[HTC One X] Vecera:
Same problem

I got phone 2 days ago (phone was Rev.B) and instantly got 3 updates in row (4.1.1 -was 3rd software update). Installed all apps. etc, and than after 1 day of using I got this problem - I tried factory reset etc. but nothing helped.

Problem was - touchscreen buttons light up.. but screen doesn't (phone in background working.. like can ring etc.. but you can't see anything on screen).

I took phone back to the store and I got new one (this time Rev.A), and I hope now it will work :)

Phone waked up but screen blank

My phone started having screen flickering problem a few days ago. Hoping that it was only a software issue, I started to return it to stock and upgrade it to newer firmwares. I was just able to upgrade it to JB (cid_622) finally yesterday before it became exactly like yours...wake up but blank screen. Long waiting for JB and now I have a useless phone with JB on it. Sigh!

I also bought the phone in HK and I am now in Toronto. You understand my exact helpless situation.

Could you let me know what your final resolution was...sending it back to HK for repair or having it repair in Canada?

Thank you for your advice.

I'm sure it is not a software issue. I have gone through all the upgrading procedures from 1.26 to 1.28 and to 3.16.

I purchased HOX 4 months back. I updated to JB (OTA update) on my HTC One X 2 weeks back and for past 2 days I have noticed flickering issue. the screen goes blank and just the bottom lights flashes. I see above many of you guys are facing the same issue. Has anyone able to resolve this yet?
[HTC One X] arvinyambot:
This started happening to me this morning when my phone was left for a few minutes in sleep ode then I would turn it on, the screen would not light up instantly... It would take a couple of presses on the power button before it opens up... weird is that the capacitive buttons are on so u know that the phone recognizes the power button... ive formatted the phone but still the problem persists...
[HTC One X] rangeela2331:
I did the same thing last night. I formatted the phone and reset to factor settings and the problem still persists. What to do now? Does anyone have any solution?
[HTC One X] arvinyambot:
I plan on having it repaired at the service center since it should be covered by the warranty... I wish they'll replace it with a new one.
