Aren't you helpful? Oh wait. Nope you aren't!
Anyways
I had the same issue, basically if you open up your phone, located near the shoulder buttons are these square black stickers.
Peel back the stickers abit and you'll see some foam that has the switch. What the shoulder buttons have is a tab that depresses the switch and the tab may be damaged.
So take a tiny piece of paper and wedge it in between the tab and switch. Now see if your shoulder buttons work now. If it doesn't, then you may have an hardware issue.

[Q] How to disassemble HTC One X

Not, think best way to do is with HTC Warrenty.
Or if you already bought a new housing, go to a repair center en give the housing with the phone to let them fix it.

It might be wrong, but I guess you can open the phone by pushing the bottom part where the sensor buttons are down and to the back so the polycarbonate case peels off like a casemate case or so... I played around a bit and saw that possibility I'll return my One X because of flickering issues the second time, so I won't open it!!!

yes i think this is a possibility there is a mechanism in place
my one x came out of box with slight softness to the left side, i pressed this whole area down and it locked
no problems otherwise, no flickering, i wish we can figure it out ourselves and be done with this whole flex thing

[Guide] LG Nitro HD teardown/lcd replacement

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019364&stc=1&d=1335128382
Usually when i get a new phone i look around the web for a guide to replace the lc just incase i ever need to...well, after much searching, i never found a guide for the LG Nitro it must just not be as popular a phone as i thought. So i used my own Nitro to make a guide to replacing the LCD screen...
Tools you will need: #00 Phillips screw driver & plastic prying tool (a guitar pic will also suffice)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019365&stc=1&d=1335128382
The easiest way i found to get the back off of the phone is start at the mouth receiver using a finger nail move around both sides popping the tabs out...then kinda jiggle the top off...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019366&stc=1&d=1335128382
Remove all 9 screws highlighted by the red "O"
The piece highlighted yellow is a plastic cover you need to remove first best pop the bottom up like you did the back of the phone and slide it down comes off easy goes back hard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019367&stc=1&d=1335128382
this is wat the piece should look like wen you get it off...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019382&stc=1&d=1335129363
The area highlighted the yellow/green color is another plastic cover the needs to be removed. I started at the bottom left side of the phone and again wen around it with my thumb nail to pop the tabs...there may come a point you may have to apply a little bit of force to pull the tabs
CAUTION while trying to remove this piece the LDC tries to come up due to a little adhesive holding the piece down you do not want that to bend too much
Also be cautious of the volume and power buttons as they WILL fall out and you WILL lose them (like i did for hours) if you dont mind them..below is wat they look like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019383&stc=1&d=1335129363
You now will be able to see the control board....Fun Fact there are extra antenna plugins aswell as an extra ribbon plugin....wonder Y?
Next step is to unplug all the ribbon cables highlighted in yellow as well as the wifi antenna, not all the ribbons need to be unplugged just the highlighted
After (not before) you unplug the cables remove the four screws highlighted by the "O"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019384&stc=1&d=1335129363
The camera (center) and headphone jack (bottom left) can be easily removed
just by pulling them out...below is wat they look like...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019385&stc=1&d=1335130305
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019387&stc=1&d=1335130305
Next removing the Control Board u may have trouble getting it lose from the touch screen around the area pointed to be the orange arrow aswell keep an eye on the touch screen ribbon as it is very flimsy pointed to by the green arrow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019388&stc=1&d=1335130305
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019389&stc=1&d=1335130305
Now to remove the touch screen to access the LCD...bend back the ight blue highlighted ribbon and seperate the two pieces that are the touch screen and the plastic piece holding the LCD and digitizer
Highlighted in red is a small rubber piece holding the touch screen ribbon down...below is a picture of the peice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019390&stc=1&d=1335130305
Here is a pic of the touch screen removed...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019392&stc=1&d=1335130305
CAUTION THE LCD ISNT HELD IN VERY GOOD SO WATCH OUT FOR IT TO FALL OUT OF THE DIGITIZER WHERE ITS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019393&stc=1&d=1335131305
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019394&stc=1&d=1335131305
Highlighted here in yellow is the ribbon to the LCD starting where the connecter is to the ribbon peal off all of the highlighted area
Careful here is where the ribbon is bent so dont peal to fast of it could rip
Remove the black square holding down the ribbon and pull the ribbon through the slot to the side where the LCD is and it should come right out of the digitizer...(I dont have a pic of the one but its pretty obvious at this point wat to do)
I hope this helps somone like me that just couldnt find the answer they were looking for....good day!
s1im

Wow, this is really interesting, I wonder if any hardware mods could be accomplished using those extra antenna plugins?

I was hoping somone would notice it and maybe tinker around with one...
there are at least 2 antenna plugs that i saw open...

What kind of antenna plugin mods are there out there?

Could be nfc

Thank you very much for a very detail instruction.

Everything looks brand new now.
Very appreciate your effort!

What exactly do you mean? All the screws you will need are already in the phone. The only thing that swaps is the digitizer and housing; everything else goes back.

He's asking what kind of screwdriver he needs. Some phones (cough cough iPhone) use custom screws to try to deter you from opening it.
I'm guessing the Nitro uses standard Philips head screws.

Didn't think about that. Also, it's been a few weeks since I used this guide and I thought it showed the screws, so my apologies.
Yes, they are all small phillips heads.

I edited the original post to show the only 2 tools you would need is a #00 Phillips screw driver and a plastic opening tool or guitar pic is helpful
I also saw a question asking could the glass be separate from the front housing the answer is not safely enough to reuse if anyone else buys a digitizer replacement that does not fit the back housing perfectly it needs to be returned

Noobish guide -Turning Black T989 into white with white battery door and vinyl decal

This with reference with other threads talking about changing colours:
such as minotauri's thread so check his thread out too.
Purpose of this thread
Just wanted to share my pics (at Bottom) and helpful tips for any first time doers to customizing...or have a place where you can ask questions some noobs might think are stupid but it's cool that what this is for
Obviously i'm not responsable for anything that YOU do TO YOUR phone ...just a disclaimer just incase...obviously this is not rocket science but better safe ...and OBviously Not responsible for the Sellers on ebay...and what they do. Your actions are your own...thanks now that's clear ...we move on.
Ok so i had a black t989d samsung galaxy S II from telus
I bought a white vinyl decal and a white battery door of ebay.
Ebay links of the ones i bought (links may expire over time)
White Door : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-BATTERY-...785829?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b9c24ee5
White vinyl decal (basically like a sticker but it will not leave marks or glue on you screen so it's safe)
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/White-Vinyl-...495791?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cd79d3ef
Tips :to applying the vinly on the front
i would recommend buying 2 vinyls just to be safe or mess up sticking it properly...the stickness is best the first time/ second time
Clean your phone first -microfibre clothes are best...like those tiny cloth sheets that comes with sunglasses
I say second time only if you didn't press down firmly on it to make it stick if you just gentle drop on using mainly the weight of the sticker itself it cool to remove it and re-adjust 2 maybe 3 times
Obviously remove the holes for the camera and hearing speaker
Use the bezel, the silver frame that goes around the sides of your phone to guide yourself to being straight
APPLYING:
The way i apply it is holding the top Thick / fat part (front facing camera ) on edges (so it doesn't stick to my fingers) with first finger and thumb rougly around the centre same thing with the bottom part with the 4 android buttons (both hands being above the sticky part not below)
then use my middle fingers to push the lines along the frame to make them come straight....more importantly trying to line up the bottom so the lights light up the drawings on the stick for the 4 button it won't come perfect which is ok but the light should be really close to it if you line up the bottom with the silver frame
Note for the camera part there's an outline sticker that goes around the camera piece as well ...for that remove the battery door is makes it easier
What my black phone looks like after:
Front and back image - Pic 1 and 2
Battery door / camera piece can be seen- Pic 3
LED light 4 buttons - Pic 4

Umm sure but the screen protector should ideally, either cover the entire front including the top, like around the front camera etc...or be the same size or smaller then the rectangle that fits inside the frame of the white vinyl ...only because it will have a weird little raised outline underneath of the protector...if you don't mind that then yeah should be fine...hopefully that makes sense what i said and it's not confusing LOL (PS unfortuantely it doesn't come a protector for the screen)
an alternative...just an opinion ... would be you could get another screen protector (i know a lil more costly) then remove the old one...place the white vinyl on the phone take the new protector (without pealing the back thingy that protectors the stickness) place on top of the phone trace with a marker (on the side that peals away of course)cut the outline with an exacto (X-acto) knife *after tracing, take it of the phone to use the exacto lol just saying to be safe...never know people may try exacto on top of their phone LOL *
Hope that helps...feel free to ask any other questions

yeahh that is a bit tricky but if you look closely i'm not exactly on the light i'm slightly off ...it's nearly impossible to get it dead on 100% but if the light falls under to light up the printed button it should be good enough....i actually mainly focused on the framing the whole as straight as possible using the bezel (silver frame of the phone) as the guide...the button should line up roughly 95% if you get it straight frame on frame... if it helps my top corners both left and right have a lil black space showing (around the curves) you can't even see it really....it cuz i focused on making sure my front camera and senors were not covered and then lined everything up downwards.....hopefully this makes some sense...LOL

Changing HTC One X housing from Grey to White

I bought a grey One X, but decided that I should have bought the white, and so I purchased the rear casing and sim card tray from ebay.
All installed perfectly and my phone is working without issues, however the thing that did hit me as strage was after rebooting device with the white casing on, the handset reported a software update for the device (not an app update) of which I said ok.
Can't see any difference in what it reports in About this phone in regards to Software, and so was wondering is it possible that by changing the rear housing it also changes the CID of the device ?
Using CID reports HTC__001 ??
I know this is probably a newb question, however this phone is my first serious Android device other than my old Nook Color.... So if i'm making gaf's please excuse them.
Thank you.

Cool to know that you can change the outlook like that. Might want to buy one back just in case i want to try grey or white gets dents. Thanks!

Could you please post a few pictures of how your phone looks with the new housing? Preferably from the front, rear and side.

I'll upload a few for you shortly. Though it just looks like a white one X

Here you go folks.
Basically genuine HTC housing replacement, very simple to do. You have to order the sim card seperatly so make sure you order one at same time.
The phone pops out of the housing with a little bit of prying and put a little bit of sticky tape on the volume rocker and power button so that they dont drop on the floor when you remove your phone from the housing as otherwise you could end up missing a little part.
The trickiest part is popping out the speaker from the old housing and dropping it into the new. I used a pin to pop it out of the hole it sits in and then just dropped it into the new housing.
Squeeze your phone in and it will click into place. remove the tape on the outside holding the volume rocker and power button and hey presto new phone
And if I can do it, anyone can

Cool, thank you!
Is there any tutorial for the replacing?
How much did you payed for the case and the sim tray?

Link to where can I buy one for my one x?

Also note the back cover has self adhesive areas that need exposing before installing, and the inside of the camera lens has a blue plastic protection film that needs removing. Because it is clear plastic covering the self adhesive areas it can be missed and your back cover will not be fitted as well as the original.
Self adhesive areas are:
1) The whole area that essentially covers the battery has a plastic film cover that needs removing to exposed the adhesive.
2) The USB hole has a raised support that has a small plastic strip that needs removing to exposed the adhesive
3) At the bottom left and right sides of the back cover inside edge are small sticky areas, again the plastic film needs removing.
In terms of software updates because the back is changed, it was just a co-incidence, the back cover has no intelligence in it to alter serial numbers etc.

It's easy to see where the self adhesive areas are simply because of the bright blue sticky plastic that was on my white case/housing inside.

Yes I would think the white is much more obvious. If you have a new grey back, the film doesn't stand out at all.

Where did you order your parts? On ebay I could only find parts for e720 (or something like that, the chinese one x)

If you are opening your device, I would highly recommend that you read the Official HTC WiFi antenna repair guide as you might want to add those strips in to strengthen the contacts.

Bought the phone on impulse second hand for a good price,. So saved €289.99 off the regular sim-free price on expansys.... When there was that much of a saving, I wasn't going to argue about the color
(checks Expansys pricing, actually it was €309.99 price difference between what I paid for the grey and the white sim-free model there)....

Just a bit of info for you regarding opening up your One X (housing removal). This is part of an email reply that I received from HTC warranty in the UK, when I asked about opening up my One X to check something.
We would not advise you to take the phone apart as this will invalidate your warranty.

I don't really know if that's true, but that's what HTC said. Make you own decision.
