Hi Everyone
I am having a strange problem on my 1-day old HTC one X.
often the screen display is getting completely distorted. Two or more screens are getting overlapped, like someone has zoomed into the display screen and overlapped one screen over the other.
It gets addressed if I shut down the device and restart.
I am completely new to Android, having spent years with a maintenance-free blackberry.
How do I get to re-install the OS ? There are no pending s/w updates on my phone

Hi,
My original HOX had this issue along with a battery over heating issue. I thought the screen probel was due to the battery getting to hot. I have since swapped it out and the new one does not have the above issue. However I now have screen flex issue
I also have this problem but a lot worse it happens atleast 20times a day it seems to start when using the HTC browser while viewing flash websites like call of duty .com when screen starts to mess up the keyboard does not load correctly if you press the opitions button at top of browser it either flicker and pixels all over drop down menu to the point that you can not see the menu if I try to watch a YouTube video when this happens I get horrible green pixel covering half the screen and flickers constantly I tried to take screenshots but when viewing them they were normal no pixels shown i also need help please should I return the handset or is it a fixable bug?

Should these problems have been fixed by applying OTA update?
It seems that the stock browser cause this.
Hi
I've had my HTC One X for amost a month and I absolutely love it.
However, I've encountered a few issues with my phone.
Firstly, whenever I restart my phone or power off and turn it back for some reason the icons of some of the apps that I've added to the homescreen either display the green android icon in its place or the icon of the app is showing what it should but the name underneath the icon disappears. On eway to overcome this problem is to delete the icon from the homescreen and re-add but this becomes a bit tedious after awhile.
The other issue I have is the multitasking. More often than not, when I'm switching between apps it often restarts the app rather than leave it where I left off. This is quite irritating at times. When I had my HTC Desire, which served me well for 2 years, I never had this problem. Apps will stay open and not restart. Is this an ICS, HTC One X or is there something wrong with my phone.
Has anyone else had the two problems that I've outlined.
My phone is Grey, HT23. Fortunately I do not see the corruption banding problem on my screen.
Thanks in advance
Hi all
Had the One X (from vodafone uk) for about 6 weeks now - fantastic phone and very happy until yesterday. The phone started doing this on Sunday afternoon and has become progressively worse over the last 24 hours.
Possibly unrelated but the issue first occurred after installing 6 app updates (astro file manager, dropbox, frontline commando and 3 others which escape me)
Display goes from "normal" to ultra low resolution. Seems to coincide with buttons becoming unresponsive (including power). Phone will often not display anything though I can here alerts as messages come in. If I hold in power button to turn phone off the back, menu and recent apps buttons flash briefly but phone display does not come back on.
I tried to link to some images from my public dropbox folder but don't have enough posts on here yet. Attazhed 7z file with png of the display going batsh1t.
Yesterday it was somewhat intermittent today its become progressively worse however. In between bursts of display oddity I managed to get the latest OTA updata from HTC/Vodafone installed 1.29.161.3 but problem persists. I've also done a factory reset to no avail.
Current versions if this is in any way useful:
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense 4.0
kernel version 2.6.39.4-g1389c4c
I'm guessing as factory reset did not work and neither did the OTA update then I'm looking at hardware issue (GFX or CPU or mainboard?) and most likely back to Vodafone for repair. Just seeking advice if I'm on to the right likely issue here and if anyone else had same/similar issue in case a software update *could* resolve the issue.
Cheers
looks like hardware issue like not all of the data is being sent to the screen, did you drop it or something?
anyway send it back and get it repaired or replaced
this happened to one of my old desire, i dropped it hard and the screen went all low res and weird colours
RESOLVED: Changing resolution and power issues One X
Hi Mox, thanks for that, sort of confirms what I already suspected. Was just hoping a software update or similar could resolve rather than saying goodbye to the phone for 3 weeks while Vodafone sort it.
Don't remember dropping the phone (but I have kids).
Sorting out with Vodafone now. Thanks again.
Hello,
Today me and a friend of mine noticed something really weird on the Nexus 5X. If you have the factory default wallpaper enabled (the one that appears on the box of the phone) and try to access the camera while the screen is locked the top of the screen starts to clutter.
In order to observe this you have to have:
1) The wallpaper set to the factory default one.
2) The phone locked.
Then you have to start dragging the camera icon at the lower right corner of the screen slowly without releasing. At some you will notice that a small portion at the top of the screen starts to clutter and display weird colors. At first I thought that this a hardware related issue (faulty screen) but I have verified that the same thing happen on other devices as well. Setting the wallpaper to any other, other than the default one seems to not cause this.
Both phones I tested this on where running Android 6.0.1 and had all the latest updates installed. I know this is something really minor and mostly unnoticeable but it would be really nice to know what could cause this.
I would never have noticed this if it weren't for this thread. It seemed to only happen with the default wallpaper as stated by the OP. Most people would never notice this because they customize the wallpaper and probably never use the camera shortcut on the lock screen.

I have a HTC One m8 and the top half inch of the screen does not respond but occasionally it does sometimes for a little while. The top half inch generally tends to work when the battery is charged to 100% but sometimes that doesn't happen either. if it helps I use a tempered glass as a screen protector and the screen does not have any physical damage and it doesn't help when u boot into safe mode. I have also tried a hard reset.
Coincidentally i am working on a phone with the same problem (not mine). After a lot google research the owner decided to use another Launcher (Smart Launcher). This did not fix it entirely, if you are in Apps you can use the statusbar, but its not working on homescreen. I dont know why it behaves like that, but surprisingly many people get problems like that. I tend to believe that there is some software problem involved, because changing Launcher or using custom rom has been reported helpfull/fixing the problem (not allways tho..).
Now he had some other troubles with this phone and in the process i did a reset, that did not fix things as you said. I will install a custom rom next and will report back next week.
So i was wrong with saying a new lauchner solved the problem. Statusbar(sb) was accessible in home screen but not in app, said it wrong in the other comment. Now i had some time to test this and i can say that at least the phone i was working on is broken.
The top part does not recognize any touch input. The reason the sb showed some reactions is, that the launcher had a bigger trigger area (i guess), so you could pull it down. But still the top part was not responding. I tested it with stock, S-Rom and one Nougat Rom (dont remember), none of that showed an input in the top part.
Solution for now is different launcher or app that pulls down the bar. There are still some problems in daily usage, that this will not fix, so i guess its time for a new phone.
I am facing same problem. Is it any update which was pushed by HTC which makes the top 1 inch unresponsive ocassionally.. Indirectly, a marketing gimmick to push us by a new phone. So if it is really like that, who would buy a HTC phone again anticipating same problem again. Might go for Samsung (my own preference). huh !!!
