[Q] Does the white one get dirty quick? - HTC One X

I've a question for all white One x users , Is the phone getting dirty fast?
And is it easy to clean?

It also features an anti-stain coating just like Xperia S. I couldn't post the link here. Look it up on Youtube

The stains I have gotten on it, could be removed fairly easy.

get back to u in a year's time..
meanwhile, its doing well.. any markings i got on it could be removed by rubbing using fingers and nothing else..

says enough I think

It also water-resistant. Well, not water-proof, I think if you pour water on the 3.5mm jack and the USB port it will die

The speaker grills are so small that its hard for water to enter the holes.

Read on a review that after putting the phone in his jeans pocket for a while, there was blue stain on the back of the phone. However it came of easily by wiping with a damp cloth. Good job HTC!

Cleaning the HTC One X

Hi!
I'm an owner of the HTC One X and I'm also a clean freak!
I noticed that the back marks really easily and the only way of cleaning it I have found so far is to use window cleaner, but I'm worried it will damage the material. Does anybody have any ideas?
Also, dust and dirt get into the gaps between the screen and the bezel, as well as inside the front facing camera. Once again, any ideas?
I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or any other troubles people have had cleaning it.
Thank you!

I used some post-it notes and carefully cleaned out the dust. If anything gets stick in the speaker holes then you can use the sticky part of a post-it to remove it.
Don't go nuts though and really jam in the paper as you might get it stuck then tear it or you may push dust further into the phone.
There is a paper tape. It is very good suction dust >>> People still use it to suck the dust particles remaining on the screen before applying the protective sheet.
I think the measures are very good so you can remove dust in crevices on your device.
Thanks, it works!
The problem is I used a pin before and I think I've pushed a lot in too far.
I guess I messed up.
What colour phone do you have?

I have been using "Pledge clean and dust multi-surface Original" for a couple of years to clean my notebook including the screen and and other electronics including my mobile phones it works great, also it cheap to buy, just make sure you spay a small amount onto a cloth and not on the item to be cleaned.
It says it for metal, electronic, glass and wood on the can.

You could test it by spraying some on an old junk CD/DVD that you don't want. The One X case is polycarbonate and so are CDs/DVDs. The exact recipe of polycarbonate isn't going to be the same but if the cleaner damages the CD/DVD then it isn't going to be a good idea to try it on the One X.
for daily cleaning the DHD official case with microfiber internals is doing wonders
sadly a little bit of the phone remains out of it like 5-10%
I got the white one x and typically use just water and microfiber cloth. If water doesn't do the trick I use eye glass solution. Seems to work fine.

The only time I have noticed it got dirty was the first time taking it into work, once it 'self cleaned' it has never had dirt smudges on it since ( not from memory anyway), strange I know, I'm not mad...
OP, Google a product called Cyber Clean. It's similar to silly puddy. You smear it on your phone. Once you remove the goo, it picks up most of the hard to reach dust particles. You can get it at most computer stores.

I was using some liquid eyeglass cleaner on my screen and some must have leaked in to the display. A dark grey blob started from the left of the display and gradually began moving toward the center, shrinking as it made its way across the screen. It ended up disappearing overnight and there's no sign that it was ever there. Moral of the story? 1) Be careful with liquid cleaners and 2) the display's not entirely or well sealed.

wildfire car mode help

my phone started entering car mode randomly the past two days i have deleted the app very long time ago i did a fresh install with no change, i do work at an iron pipe making factory so my guess is tiny iron powder particles in the usb port. any one can help thx
I've been having similar problems with the s2 and it seems common here. They advise to give the USB port a good clean with some alcohol and if it still gives problems it will most probably need a new port.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
but the usb port is so small do i need to use only a tooth peak or what?
Yes, compressed air works a treat too, I think you can buy small tins of it from stationary shops, they use it to clean keyboards etc........... in fact don't you have any compressed air systems at your work?
Give it a quick blast if you do to get the dust out, if that doesn't work its most likely broken, replacements are cheap off eBay if you fit it yourself but if you take it to a shop they may charge a lot more up to £50 at some of the rip off shops round my way. If that's the case you may as well save the cash to put towards an upgrade unless you can get it done real cheap.

i can use compressd air but my only concern is to not blow the particles too dip in, and one other thing any suggestion on cleaning both speakers they got stuff in to them a swell, only thing is to not take the phone apart ;]

Strong magnet for built up metal dust removal. Beware though when using for loud speaker as speakers are magnetic and if done for excessive amount of time may damage the speaker.
Cotton buds
Damp rolled up tissue/toilet roll (rolled between fingers )
Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
the phone also got the loudspeker call bug (usb short fo shure), today i used a magnet and vacum cleaner to clean it there were alote of iron particles in there and now it seems to work fine thx to both of u ;]

Let your speaker dry and do not use it till it dryied, else the moving parts that are glued together may loose their connection and the distortion will stay permament.

I have experienced that problem as well. You just need to dry your phone, until it completely dry, using hair dryer is expected. Just expose with it, wait until you sure, and it'll be work

Hi TiTAN-O-One,
I hope, your problem is gone for now, but perhaps it would be helpful to know what you can do, when such unfortunate happens.
This phone is really easy to disassemble and reassemble. Replacement parts are not expensive and almost everywhere easy reachable.
I had to replace my internal speaker because it sounded distorted. I bought the part and with some tools i replaced the internal speaker with the proximity sensor earphone jack and upper michrophone (these are all on one unit). You will find an accurate guide on youtube on how to disassemble and reassemble your wonder without damaging it. It's quite easy.
In case it gets wet it is the same, you can safely disassemble it, dry and carefully clean parts and thats it. All you need is patience, some time, and the tools described in the youtube guide.
I did that and my device is still up and running. If you decide try, thats the way...
Hope that this little guidance helped! :fingers-crossed:

That's good luck for you that your speaker did not take a major damage.:good:
But watch out, because these electronic parts can be easily be damaged without any other option than replacing them.
I use my phone with silicon case and above that i have a carrying bag too.
Wolud be nice for this phone to (at least) be waterproof. There are some casings that can make our wonder waterproof, but they are way too expensive by sametime not allowing a confortable use of the device.

Waterproof?

Someone submerged the HTC One M8 in water for about 90 minutes, it came out just fine. Is this phone waterproof? I haven't seen any specs saying it is, but apparently it's at least water-resistant. Here's the video.

It didn't. It did it once - 6PM hit and it went black. I noticed the music player popped up on the screen though.
Obviously I wouldn't go dropping my phone in water to test this but it looks like HTC did manage to isolate the components enough to make it water resistant. I wonder why they didn't advertise it? Probably because of the lack of flaps I guess.
This would likely cause damage to the USB and headphone jack over time but its a cool test of the build quality for sure.

Yeah I'm happy they improved the already exceptional build quality. The M7 survived the most ridiculous torture test I've seen CNET administer while the S4 failed miserably. HTC has a lot more experience with phones than anyone else but Nokia really so it shouldn't be a surprise that they pulled this off but its still nice to see. And they did it without flaps, that's the real big FU to Sony
The review by CNET suggests this is not true.
The Bad: The One M8’s battery is not removable, making it harder to replace once the battery inevitably wears out. The phone's sealed chassis is not water-resistant, and the One M8's photos look less sharp than competitors'.

nobody is claiming this phone was made to be water resistant. However, spending 1hr and 30 mins in water indicates you dont have to worry about splasehes/rain/ etc.. dont take it diving and be careless
Is the removable battery even a big deal now days? Who keep their phone for more than 2 years now anyway?

I don't see why it shouldn't be waterproof. Just another feature everyone else will have. But I could also see the point of not advertising it as water resistant. I sure wish this was confirmed.

Well speaking as someone who dropped their HTC One down the toilet last week (I was drunk) and waking up the next day and the phone is dead and only remembering what happened the phone turns on fine after charging it but I've tried 3 different SIM cards and they won't work and it won't turn off anytime I close it down it reboots, tried putting it in bag of rice, etc but doesn't work so I'm left with my beloved one which is unusable just as well I've insurance (even if the excess is an outrageous €95) and when I get a new one I'll sell it and buy new M8,but getting back to the original point I would be delighted if the new M8 was waterproof after what happened to me.

Why not? Sony did it with the Z2.
Speakers aren't a major entry point for water, ports are.

Yes I agree that Sony got it right with the z2. However it did take a couple of generations for them to get it right. External speakers even on the z1 is not very good. Reviewers always pointed to the waterproofing as the cause of the low speaker volume.

Not sure if you worded that out of order - but the whole idea of the rice, is to do it BEFORE attempting to turn it on. If you tried to turn it on before letting it sit a few days in rice, thats the point where the damage is done. (Turning it on still moist)
Watch carefully through the video, I have to question its authenticity.
If you notice, there are bubbles coming from the headphone jack. At multiple times the quantity and speed of these increase, often when the camera comes back on after altering it's position. I know the camera was said to run out of storage space etc, however the bubbles suggests that the phone has been removed and replaced.
thats with the bubbles i also saw - and when bubbles can go outside normally water can go inside too.
aluminium and water also not best friends. in my eyes the video is fake or manipulated.
My M8 got splashed with a glass of water and the screen died in seconds. After doing the rice thing for a day, it wont light back up, though the screen does still register touch. It is NOT water proof, and doesn't seem to be very resistant either, as it was a small amount that splashed on it.

Maybe build quality varies. I spilled a whole glass on it and absolutely nothing happened. Screen, and also the speakers, works great as before. I tested them immediately. Maybe I was just lucky. But still, a whole glass, and I saw how the water filled every speaker hole.

I have the M7 and happened to find this post on Google...
To get most of the crud out of my speaker grills, i got a large, flat/angled makeup brush (will attach a photo to this post) and put a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide on it (which i don't recommend, use rubbing alcohol folks) and brushed the speakers with it.
it worked out pretty good....
I just turn on the Boom speakers for a few seconds and the dust and other crap literally blows out of them.

I haven't had much luck cleaning out the grills. I can get most of it but air/vacuum won't get it all.
