[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
The reason why you're getting so many bad ones is probably because, unless you are going to a store and personally picking your phone out of the new ones, it's probably a refurb. HTC likely doesn't do much QA for refurbs, so you're sorting through phones that have been returned for the same reasons why you returned your phone. In all likelihood, the defective Samsung phones never even leave the factory.

It sucks, but what can you do? :(
[HTC One X] Disjunto:
Sorry to say the obvious, but you've had some really really awful luck with your devices if you've managed to go through 10, and all of them with faults that are worthy of a replacement.

If my device has any issues, it's that there is a slight gap around the screen bezel, enough for 1 tiny spec of dust to get stuck in, and tbh, that's the sort of issue I expect from any phone I purchase, I know Samsung don't do any better with gaps between joins in their design, Apple definitely don't. Guess I have a godly HOX or something?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
My HOX has one slight issue as far as im aware, and yes im LIVING with it. Its the fault where if I hold it with my Left hand (WHICH I USUALLY DO) I completely or mostly lose WiFi, I can't be bothered doing the squeeze test etc, as this makes it worse. And I know I have the issue, but 10 phones worthy of replacement? Sounds like your more unlucky than the devils *****.

But canI ask a question?

WHAT IS THESE 3 DOTS EVERYONE IS ON ABOUT?!
[HTC One X] HotteX:
I know those issues with a big german service contractor of O2. Not HTCs fault directly but very annoying.

They replace broken phones with refurbished ones and save the QC.

First One X had a faulty digitizer after 3 month -> Swap

Returned one had a gap at the bottom where the light shone through, the black plastic around the screen stood up a bit, a rattling vibrator and a bright 2 cm strech where the bottom backlight is situated. -> Swap

Third one now seems technically ok. I can push the glass out if I like to, because it does not really sit tight which is ok as I am a tinkerer anyway and the SIM card holder looks like somebody chewed on it.

They don't want to swap the card holder alone and want the whole phone returned.

I think I will keep it as I guess it can only get worse with a new one. Chewed holder is nothing compared to most complaints here :D

@Wilks3y

The 3 dots are a big bar for the menu at the bottom on the screen that show up with some applications that are not yet optimized for Android 4. It's annoying and takes space, but nothing else.
[HTC One X] stirkac:
HTC said they solved all the quirks in PRODUCTION. You're getting replacements from your carrier, and you're getting the phones which have been manufactured long time ago (before june or july), because they always hand over the older devices first. They know that some people aren't so aware of the problems and device will eventually find an owner which does not care or know about problem. What you got caught into is the cruel business model.

And that's the reason everyone should insist on picking your phone in the store. I always tell them to show me 5 devices out of the stock and I will inspect them personally (that's a costumer right) for any faults. HOX is not the first device with QC problems, and two owners and friends of mine have zero problems. and if you think samsung is any better, my friend got one in June and chrome plastic around screen started peeling already with his phone always in protective case! plus he cannot get it replaced on warranty because "he himself damaged the device by dropping it".

scam is everywhere mate.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Why have you created a new thread for the same rant?

I understand your frustration though. I went through a very similar thing and only yesterday is it sorted. Unless the wifi issue comes back. I bought the phone on release.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
when you say build quality is abysmal it means all the one Xs they make are from the same kind of quality, for example very cheap plastic being etc or they all have a broken screen

this is not true, in fact a flawless One X is very fancy in terms of build and sturdiness

the issue you talk about is not build quality, its quality control, meaning some defected phones are being let out of factory

when you keep getting defected phones (like my luck when i first went to buy it) it means you should change your source
[HTC One X] ef1x:
I have bought one x about 2-4 weeks after being released and had no problems with it so far. Probably some series of phone have been faulty or had low quality control .
[HTC One X] subharmonic:
I'm with the OP.

I don't think it's easy to quantify what the problems are with this phone - or is it indeed the manufacturer?

Here's my story.

First phone - yellow patch problem - wasn't sure about the wifi issue - but the yellow spots sucked.

Within the 28 day period, so got a straight swap with retailer - in my case Tesco mobile partner (2020mobile I think they're called).

In this time I really baby'd the phone - no drops, no hard knocks, no nothing. No screen protector admittedly - but - within this initial 3 week period, the Gorilla glass 2 (ROFL) still picked up fine scratches.

Replacement phone arrived - this one - less yellowing patches - but still enough for me to notice and not want on a phone which is meant to do me for 2 years. Also at this point I noticed the phone had the infamous wifi problem.

Again, really fine scratching appearing on screen.

So - sent back - outside 28 days, so had to be through HTC repair.

After 1st repair - looks like they'd replaced the screen, but not fixed the wifi - plus they'd managed to scratch the camera lense and body when it was in, so, back it went for repair.

It came back with new housing (ie no camera lense scratch or body scratches), but now I'm finding the wifi issue has clearly not been resolved.

This is just completely nuts.

And the fine scratches on my new screen are now starting to show, after about 3 or 4 weeks use - again with me babying it.

Seriously - this phone if it it didn't have these flaws would be great.

But in reality it seriously sucks.

End of my tether.
[HTC One X] geatsch:
I also agree with OP

.. to many different and possible defects:

- GPS

- Sensors

- dead pixel

- dust under Display

- yellow spots

- WIFI issues

- Heating issue (differs from model)

- case and display - Quality (not instantly visible after unpacking)

- Bluetooth

... many more ;)

i changed my phone also 9 times, important part:

- different shops

- different serial 23 to 27

and the best of all:once i sent my phone for repair and received a much worse model with two defects on the case

it defect rate is much better in SH /HT 27 but still a lack of quality...

Well, i think some of the defects are not visible to everyone because they don´t use/need the features !!

SGS3 was no option for me - i stick to the HOX - just want a model without lets call it "build" defects or lack of quality control.. the result is always the same for the customer. I messed around with all the problems and still love the phone ... i think for many "ex" HTC customers it was the last HTC phone for a long time ...

So HTC missed the spot - they invested a lot of money in "interesting" projects or companies instead of dealing with the core business - i am sure the managers who are responsible for this all are still earning a lot of money ... and a few thousand workers have been fired

Well done HTC
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
I changed my hox 4 times,every time different problem so then I changed to another phone make ,feels bad leaving HTC but when your QUADCORE phone becomes a source of a pain like in my case there is no point hangin about,can't wait to see what HTC will come up with comes Christmas or April 2013 really excited
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Clearly you have grit or something in your pocket then.

Remember - scratches are caused by a harder object, rubbing against the screen. This isn't a manufacturing fault. The screen is not anymore susceptible to scratches than any previous gorilla glass, nor any other standard glass screens.

Either get a screen protector, or find the source of your scratches, ie grit in your pocket and get rid of it. If you have a pouch, could be there is grit in that embedded in the inside fabric layer
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
So if I go to a store and they give me 10 defective devices what would I do? Not go through that store.

Or maybe creating multiple threads will solve what common sense couldn't.

Why not merge your two whining threads together since you haven't said anything new.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
I don't know what the deal is, but it ain't the overall build quality.

I had ONE HOX and it's perfect build quality. Actually, best build quality I've ever had, and certainly WAAAAAY Better than my mom's SGSIII or my previous SGSII and SGS.
[HTC One X] louis.b:
This is a fact that has been established. But still refreshing to see it pop up again :P. But I agree with the OP. When I said goodbye to the HTC sensation XL, the One X was on my priority list, for all the obvious reasons. But then I asked myself: do I really want to go through it again, given that everyone is going through with the One X. The answer is no. Half my "thanks" came from defending HTC in the early launch, but now when I see the complaining posts, I cant be bothered to defend anyone anymore.
[HTC One X] a704e:
Now I feel extremely lucky, having a phone with none of these defects. SH23.

One X to rule them all.
[HTC One X] Azurael:
Yeah, I think the OP meant 'quality control' or 'reliability'. Not 'build quality' - I'd say if anything, the quality feel of hTCs higher end devices in the hand is second only to Apple. It's my big issue with Samsungs, really - they charge £450 for a device that is made of exactly the same materials, and has had exactly the same amount of thought into the design as a £90 ZTE Blade. Incidentally, my HOX is 'perfect', at least for now - they do exist.

However, for the bootloader unlocking/warranty invalidation nonsense hTC have been preaching, even if I hadn't heard so many bad things about the One X, I'm never going to buy another device from them or advise others to. Kind of a shame when devices like the Desire and Desire Z were so damn good.
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
I bought my hoz, from singapure, using eBay. Its perfect, but I will choose all my entery life a broken hoz than a good sg3. A lot of my friend from my country got 20 time their sg3 back, and still changed it, broken glass inside the Box, no light bottons, others dont turn on and so on. As they dont speak english, and as they use sg3 app phone, no modding at all. I will start writing for then in sg3 Forum talking about Samsung sg3 broken glasses and defect software quality.

So that will be a lovely Forum. It will be a good action, cause a love my friends and to help them. I think every hoz uswrs with friends with sg3 problems should do the same.

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I have a March-build HT23 and it was perfect when I got it and its still perfect now. Go figure.
[HTC One X] Blodia:
HOX is a good phone, but seriously their QC is abysmal.

1 with dead pixels

3 with dust inside (1 had a hair, or dust string)

1 dead phone (phone died with around 30% battery and couldn't be charged again)

Luckily we have 1-to-1 exchange policy over here, currently own 2 HOX but both have not centred camera lenses.

1 of the 2 has a really dim notification LED, but living with it.
[HTC One X] subharmonic:
Seriously - you don't need to tell me what may have caused the scratches - but when my 2 yr old Desire, which lived it's life in my pocket in exactly the same way appears to withstand "grit" (lol) better than the One X, there's surely something not quite right.

Besides, I don't tend to wear the same clothes every day - I wear different trousers each day, or maximum each other day, so the amount of debris in my pockets tends to be minimal. Plus, I NEVER have anything else other than my phone in my pocket.

It still doesn't get away from the fact it's scratching EASILY even with supposed Gorilla glass 2.

It could be called STUPENDOSCRATCHLESSFOREVER GLASS - it doesn't escape the fact that in my real world experience, with essentially exactly the same conditions as my Desire had, it appears to be fairing worse in this department.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...ass-drops-tests-composition-xda-developer-tv/

once again, it does not scratch easily - clearly you are incapable of looking after it properly.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Still on my first hox, ht23. No problems at all
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
How can you tell what batch your htc came from?

Like you say ht23, I heard they range from 23 to 27 or something?

How can I tell my batch?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
System settings - about phone - status - serial number at bottom of page
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hi Mate, its a bit different for mine, I don't have a "Status" choice.

But I have found device - serial number.

Does HT244W10xxxx look like the right one to you?

If so does that mean if got a HOX from batch 24?

Thanks matey !
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Yes mate, yours is ht24
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Okay cool, that a good batch? :P
[HTC One X] uqadwe:
Not really :)

I had two SH***, and now a HT24, it's faultier than the first two :)
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
FFS lol, well I have the camera rattle and the WiFi issue, does the WiFi issue entitle me to want a replacement? Like is it considered a bad enough fault?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
if you're still in the cooling off period (defined by where you bought it from) then you can normally exchange - the cooling off period is normally about 14-28 days after purchase.

if it's past that, you need to send to htc for repair.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
HTC repair job it is then.

Don't think I will send it though, as I've heard most of the time you get it back with more faults than you started with.
[HTC One X] gouldy26:
you can post a 1000 videos, but the TRUTH is the one x scratches so easy its a joke

have you got a screen protector on yours? if so take it of for 2 weeks

ive had 3 one x's the missus has it now, ive got a gs3, and i don't care what anyone says IMO the gs3 is better in every way, except for bright sunlight outside

i generally believe if 100 one x users had a gs3 for a week, and had the option to swap for good id be amazed if more than 10 would swap back to there one x

the front camera and battery on the one x is so bad its quite funny
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
Awesome. So that was your last post here right? Seeya!
[HTC One X] :
Apple definitely don't? Are u kidding me? I'm not an apple fanboy I own android devices too, but one thing I can attest to is the SUPERIOR build quality of Apple. People get so hung up on which side they're on in mobile world that they just start telling lies to make there device look better. I personally like ALL tech and apple has the best build quality in the biz no plastic at all on the iPhone 4-4S and it has some nice weight to it. It may not be the best phone internally but it will always work and will always be smooth
[HTC One X] louis.b:
I thought only I'm the only who has this kind of thought in the land of Android fan boys.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
yeah we've heard enough comparisons between gs3 and hox we don't need more. its user opinion as to which is best. end of.

and no i have never used a screen protector. can't stand them. i just do that thing called taking care of it.

and did you even watch the video? the fact would then have been proven that it doesn't scratch easily, as even her sitting there scraping SANDPAPER across the screen hardly damaged it.

the TRUTH is that you idiots can't look after it properly, and seem to think that looking at the screen scratches it. seriously you people either don't own a brain, or simply don't use it.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

superior build quality my arse. the silent switch on the 3gs i had ages ago broke after about 300 or less 'switches'

now to me, that is terrible build quality.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
this entire thread is FUD, we already have more useful build quality threads

funny that my hox suffered a hit to the floor and been using since the day of release and im yet to find one pixel worth of a scratch on the screen...

i had two SGS3 for two weeks both ended up in ruin in no time, first one we sold for 435$ and the second one we can't find a 250$ buyer, so i guess your "theory" is fail
[HTC One X] gouldy26:
whos talking about dropping phones? im not

and from the look of them pics, its safe to say you should get yourself an old nokia, taking care of phones is not your strong point

well as ive had 3 one x's got my first one on launch day, and i must have been one of the first in the uk to get a galaxy s3 (9am on launch day)

is that not a user opinion, id say my own opinion is as valid as the next mans

and that is the one x could and should have been the number 1 phone, but it isn't, shame really as i was really looking forward to going back to htc (had 5 htc phones)
[HTC One X] dakine:
That sucks dude. I've only seen my own hox and its build quality is fine. Its a nice device but I can't say i'm excited about it or any other phone out there. They are not as nice to read on as a tablet and games are stupid compared to those on a PC. My old nokia dumbphone could take more abuse and last for a week on a charge. Sometimes I really wonder what the fuss is all about. My advice: get a refund and spend the cash on booze and women.

So why are you posting here?

I'll tell you why. You're a troll. You and Macleod, who doesn't even have an HoX and doesn't even plan on getting one.

Talk about Disney. Let me know when you grow up and move on kid.
[HTC One X] gouldy26:
whoops, looks like ive touched a nerve with the Disney comment :laugh:

and unlike you ive got both phones, so thats why im posting here

edit and as you seem confused in what a troll is, its people who make post's like this

"Awesome. So that was your last post here right? Seeya!"

look familiar
[HTC One X] chrisnash:
I got an HT23 the day it was released.

It was perfect (in terms of build) then imho but with every successive ARHD rom it has gone from strength to strength!

Not only is the build quality awesome but now so is the performance. Never any lags and battery has not dropped below 50% by end of the day since 2.17

It's the longest I've ever kept a phone on stock - and I've had a few!

A very happy bunny :)
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
I think samyfanboys are upset, crynig and trolling our Forum for two main things

1 Apple kicks ur theeth in US. And more to come

2 htc one x got better stock benchmarks, have the best development, games, sounds, mods, devs, users.

And next year, at the end...they will be doing the same thing but against LG Forum. I saw LG UI and its better than touchgirl UI.

Then quality build...well...the only plastic phone I see belongs to samy, there is no comparison.

So...Samyboys...u can keep trolling our hox, but we keep working hard day by day, pushing together as brothers, try to get the best if the best smartphone In earth.

See, htc dont need to pay press and bloggers cause they focous on development not in advs.

Since you said you "had" and now you're saying you "have" the phone, I take it that you're either 4 years old with issues telling time or you switching up your story to try to have some credibility.

So when you finish prancing in your finest of Princess evening wear, please tell me why you haunt the forum of a phone that you don't use. Really I want to know. When I moved on from my Nokia to an HD2, the last thing on my mind was hanging around the HD2 forums.

Does the SG3 suck that much that you kids can't talk about it over there?
[HTC One X] gouldy26:
oh goody fu(king gum drops. the simpleton is back

and to "haunt the forum" in your words

id hardly call 4 or 5 posts haunting the forum, now your 800 odd. now that's another matter, cause if they've been anything like the last few ive read, id imagine you've bored your fair share of people to death

i can assure you ive got both phones, would you like me to upload some pics, ill make it colorful so it will appeal to your adolescence nature

and to reply to your failed smart ass comment i did say had, how else would i say it, i assume the rest understood what i meant

"well as ive had 3 one x's got my first one on launch day"

well i have HAD 3 but like everyone else 2 of them was replacements for crap units, even this third one is creaking (missus don't mind thou)

have you got a one x and gs3, or you just a sheep and say what everyone else says about a device

in other words, you ain't got a scooby doo what your talking about have you

let me know if you want them pics
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
Well you answered the unspoken question as to whether or not you're a moron...

And we also know that you're a liar. You have a GS3, your "wife" (yeah right) has a One X. So again, you're a troll haunting the HOX forum.

Feel free to leave kid. You aren't wanted any more than you want the phone.
[HTC One X] gouldy26:
see these are the comments that piss me of (if you was referring to me that is, if not sorry)

why would i be a fanboy, ain't that for kids or **** heads, why would i spend £500 on launch day for a device i don't want or like

can you explain that to me, im really interested in your thoughts

i got the one x because ive had many htc phones (hero, legend,desire,hd desire, wildfire s) and i really thought the one x was gonna be a killer phone i got the one x gave my galaxy s2 to the missus and i thought it was wicked, well the first day anyhow, 2 replacements later read a billion horror story's, so i thought id give it to the missus and sell the s2, and get the gs3 on launch day, and IMO, that's in my opinion for the simpleton, the s3 is better

whats a fanboy about that
