[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quasi51:
I have an HTC One XL (Rogers-Canada) and my back-light is stuck at the lowest setting. This persists all the time from the boot-loader, to recovery to ROM. It seems to persist across Stock ROMs, Custom based on Stock, ICS & JB, AOSP, etc. When I attempt to adjust the brightness in settings the screen stays dim until I slide it to the brightest setting (far right) and then the screen goes completely dark (ie...back-light off). This problem started after upgrading from CleanROM5 to CleanROM6 but it wasn't immediate. It was probably a week or two before the problem cropped up so that may be unrelated.

Since the problem started I've been flashing everything I can get my hands on trying to see if it's software related. I went from unlocked & rooted to Unlocked/Rooted/SuperCID/S-Off but to no avail. I had a glimmer of hope at one point during the process of flashing various ROMs when the phone plugged in at the boot-loader. I had left it for a while (doing something else) and the backlight suddenly came back to full brightness. So, I happily flashed RUU, then unlocked, then rooted and installed CleanROM. Then, after an hour or so of getting the phone setup again it went back to low back-light.

Questions I assume you will ask...

Doesn't this sound like a hardware problem?

Yep, definitely could be. The only reason I think think the back-light isn't broken is that it is still working, just at a really low level. I can tell this because I can see the screen in a dark room reasonably well and the back-light really does turn completely off when I move the brightness slider to max. But, yes, it could be hardware...

What Hboot were you on when you went from CleanROM5 to CleanROM6?

I was boot-loader unlocked + rooted on Hboot 1.11.

Have you tried draining the battery?

I did run the batter down until the phone shut off but I don't think I completely drained it. I seem to recall draining lithium battery to totally empty is actually a bad idea. Any suggestions on this? Is this any different from powering down the phone in terms of resetting some software issue?

Why not just return it to Rogers?

I'm not actually a Rogers customer (Bell). I bought the phone off of someone who changed their mind and went with a different carrier. I have the box and Rogers stickers for service and repair and I'll try that if it comes to it but I doubt it's that simple.

Any help would be appreciated. Are there mods related to brightness on the HOXL I could try? Is there something lower level than an RUU I can flash to try and get everything back to stock? Is it worth trying the JET tool or is that just for real brick situations?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Draining the battery to shutdown does not actually lower the battery voltage to zero. There are safeguards against that, as draining a Li ion battery to zero (or actually below a certain threshold) would actually render it unable to take a charge.

However, the problem is that the safeguards do not always work in a completely fail safe manner. Most times, running the battery down will not have any negative consequences. But there is a slight possibility that the safeguards will not work completely intended, and the battery voltage will be allowed to drop too low, causing the battery to be unable to charge. Its happened to some folks on this device, and other Android devices. Sometimes, leaving the phone on the wall charger overnight will bring the battery back. Otherwise, it might require a battery meter with a "boost" function, which is normally only available at repair shops.

So the moral to all that, is to avoid draining the battery to shutoff whenever possible. The other point is, that I don't see how draining the battery would help your backlight issue at all. The battery meter calibrations all get wiped whenever you flash a new ROM or RUU. So the backlight issue is not likely related to battery meter calibrations. TO properly calibrate the battery meter after a ROM flash or RUU, its good practice to charge to full, then discharge to 10 or 20%, then repeat a couple times. But again, I don't think this would help or affect your backlight issue.

Since the problem persists through ROM flashes and RUU, it does suggest a hardware issue. But its not certain.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quasi51:
OK, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware fault. I was cleaning off the screen in the middle of troubleshooting and the back-light flickered to life and went back off again. I may have been pushing a little harder than usual out of frustration! I proceeded to gently but firmly push on various part of the screen and was able to get the back-light to come on and off briefly. Now it seems totally dead as I can only barely make out what is on the LCD and being in the dark doesn't help.

I have some experience taking phones apart so I'd like to take a run at replacing whatever is broken. The simplest swap would be the LCD/digitizer assembly but I'm concerned that the problem could lie in the motherboard or power circuitry.

Does anyone have any experience with HOXL back-lights dying and fixing them?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Backlight is part of the LCD. You can't replace just the backlight. Seperating digitizer from LCD is very difficult. Most people are ordering LCD and digitizer when either needs to be replaced. HTC has a minimum of 1 year warranty, some countries 2 years. Before ordering new parts, see if you are under warranty. If not try reseating the cables that connect the screen to the MB. If that doesn't work it's time to order new parts. Good luck. You tube has videos showing disassembly and screen replacement. Watch a few first, it will make things easier for you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quasi51:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I realize that the light itself is part of the screen assembly but I've read elsewhere that some of the circuitry that drives it is located on the motherboard. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with a back-light that had died and what parts they replaced. I'm happy to take the plunge and get a replacement screen assembly for $75 but it's be a shame if the problem was actually on the board.

You mentioned the HTC warranty...I assumed that HTC would wash their hands of phones that were obtained through carriers. Has anyone replaced/repaired a phone through HTC that was obtained from a carrier initially? Mine came from Rogers but I'm with Bell so I doubt Rogers would help me if I tried to get service for what was originally someone else's phone.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Contact HTC directly. If it's under warranty, they will fix it.

also, is there 4G icon mod for ics? :)

The problem it's by this way i will also replace the 3G icon by 4G and the p920 didn't have 4G so i would like to replace only the network icon. I'm trying to decompile system_ui.apk but i haven't done that before so an easier way would have been appreciated.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanouch:
Hello,

First, i'd like to apologize for my poor english but i'll tried to be as clear as possible.

I've received yesterday my One who was bought in a P4U store in London (sim free) and i intend to use it in France.

I've played with the "smartphone part" (emails, apps, internet, camera, etc.) and everything i working wonderfully.

But when i want to call someone or get called, everything is going crazy :(

When i try to call, i don't hear the tone and once my correspondant take the acll, i don't hear him and he don't hear me.... when they try to call me, i see the incoming call but when i press the button to take the call, i don't hear anything and my correspondant as well.

Even worse (yes it's possible), when it want to cut the communication and i press the "end call" key, the phone doesn't cut it immediatly and it send it in the notification bar (as if i had pressed the Home button)... at this moment, the whole phone becomes sluggish and then i have a system popup who ask me to wait a little or kill the app and send a report to HTC....

What i have tried to get around this problem :

- Trying others SIM cards (even with others carriers)... same problem,

- Completly restore the phone... same problem,

- Tried different carriers at the initial startup... same problem.

- I've tried to use the dictaphone app and to listen music to see if it wasn't a hardware problem but both the microphone and the speakers are working perfectly.

- The strange thing is that i'm correctly connected to the network because i have 3G icon, i can download things in 3g or HSPA and i can send the call or get called.

So, i'm really stuck now... the only thing i think of before calling HTC is to find the Stock ROM, completly erase the phone and install the stock ROM on it...

Any other ideas ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
It's the software as it was when you bought it or have you flashed something else into the phone ?

If you are still on the original software I would backup and reset the phone and if that still does not work it sounds faulty and you need to return it to p4u

Good luck
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanouch:
Yes it's the original software and i haven't flashed anything... i've tried the hardware reset but still the same problem... that's why i wanted to find the original ROM because i think that the one in my terminal is faulty
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
Don't flash anything take it back to p4u for replacement . If you flash you may cause more issues as you would need to s off and p4u may not replace the phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanouch:
Ok so you mean i need to s-off even just trying to replace the Original ROM by another Original ROM ? (which i haven't found anyway)

In fact, i assume that i just need to replace the Phone.app (i suppose it's this kind of name) to test if my problem comes from the software... everything else works like a charm so i'm in dire need to replace the telephony software on this phone :crying:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouioui01:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Definately take it back to P4U for an exchange. . . they should do it on the spot. . . or are you back in france already? If so, u maye need to get hold of HTC. . . if not, get back to P4U before you go back to france.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanouch:
Yep, i'm in france now :(

That won't be easy to exchange my device now... i'm waiting for HTC's support advice and depending on what they say, i'll try to find a way to replace this Phone.apk which i'm sure is causing problems....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Hi! Base on your explanation seems like it is a software issue. Have you tried reflashing a newer firmware on the phone? Restoring to factory default would just wipe the data partition but the system apps would remain untouched. I am thinking the issue might be cause by corrupt files that happened when HTC is flashing the firmware to the phone itself. Doesn't really look like hardware problem to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanouch:
Yes Riyal, i'm thinking exactly like you but i haven't found a way to do it properly... and i'm still waiting for the answer of HTC support as they don't know at the moment if they can fix it or if they must exchange it.

Anyone else seeing issues with really inaccurate battery readings? I'll be at 99% charged for 15+ hours sometimes, and then things will drop rapidly or even just die at 20%. I've also noticed when charging that it'll get to 99% within an hour or so and then spend 30-45 mins at 99%.

I've been on this combination for the majority of the time I've had my phone an no problems until now. And I don't think its the kernel because the same thing happens when I had it on 5.1. I noticed I was on global mode and I changed it to LTE/CDMA. Who the hell knows, that might be what's causing it. We'll see. Any help is appreciated. :)
