Hairline crack in casing or manufacturing feature?. - HTC One X

I was looking at my phone and noticed what appears to be a hairline crack in the casing on the bottom left corner of the casing. I've not dropped it so could it be on every handset(I have the white one) as in how the case is made. I'm on my second one x and didn't notice it on the first but its hard to spot unless looking for it.

Hi
Not sure if it would be a crack as the entire case is one mould. Is it on the back side or screen side?
Is it on the glossy ot matte area?
Thanks

I don't see any hairline cracks anywhere on my white One X. I'd get it replaced now before they blame you.

There was a discussion on this mattor on the tweakers.net forum (dutch). A lot of people have it. It is also to straight to be a crack. The conclusion there was that the line is a opening for the mold they used for the unibody.

I am getting it replaced, but I didnt mention that was the reason or they'd just blame me ! I said the screen was flickering a lot which it has been but it was only when on auto brightness.

Ok it's good it is being replaced. My one flickered when not on auto brightness but hasn't done it again since, really do think it is a bad firmware.

Phone dropped :-0

Hey everyone
I have put in a request to get my one x replaced with phones4u due to the screen flexing issue and a creaking case. Yesterday my friend wanted to see the phone as he was thinking of getting one and he dropped it! It wasn't from much of a hight but it has left a few marks in the case...
Should this affect my replacement?

Maybe, depending on the rules of phones4u. Any pictures?
Depends how bad the scratches are and if it's really visible.

They are quite visible scuffs on 2 corners

you might have some problems because they'll try to say the problem was due to you dropping the phone =\
well i've emailed my account manager to ask now, hopefully they will still swap it for me as its not related to the original fault although i guess there's no way to prove that.
If not that my phone is insured so I'll get a new handset one way or another.
body scratches shouldnt hinder the replacement as long as screws and warranty stickers are untempered.
I think its no Problem, until something is broken. I worked for 3 Years for a HTC Repair Center and we are only look for broken displays and broken Cases. Scratches makes no Problems. Good luck Man

it was dropped from around pocket hight to the floor, its left it with scuffs in the top left and bottom left back corners.
Clearly only scuffs to the casing, no cracks or anything.

You should be fine. If they ask about the scuffs, you don't need to say you dropped it, but just that you had it in a jeans pocket with those metal rivets and you didn't realise it was rubbing against it, or something like that.
By the way is it the grey one? If so, did it go shiny where there scuffs are?

You should be fine I read somewhere they'll class it as DOA and they don't bother with DOA phones. They'll make a claim on it or something. I could be wrong though but clearly the screen issues were the reason you were sending it back as long as that is still there you'll be fine, worse that will happen is that they'll just send it back.
EDIT: Ouch, definitely need a case as I'm just like your friend prone to dropping! No replacement housing available as well for the time being so need to be extra careful.
Ohh nasty, I think it should be fine since its getting replaced for another reason, but they could refuse since the screen flicker issue is getting fixed next OTA update

Its not the flickering, its where the screen goes black and ripples when you press the edge of the phone slightly, plus the case creaks in places.
I dropped my phone yesterday when my team scored in the last minute of a cup semi final. It got trampled. Screen smashed to bits. Remarkably it still works and its still in one piece.
Screen is smashed but somehow held together and still responsive

Owners of white phones

Any issues with the phone getting dirty and not being able to remove dirt or stains? I do like the way the white one looks and the grey one seems to attract quite a lot of fingerprints. Just worried about how white will be long term. Not interested in using a case either.
My one seems doing fine so far, but I always use leather case with my phones.

My girl has had a white EVO for over a yr no case. We got rezounds two months ago and gave the EVO to the kids all the crap they get on their filthy little hands and play on the phone there is not one stain anywhere.
Sent from my Rezound running stock/leaked ICS.
the evo has a gloss back though...
different material but i've seen a dirty one x but it will wipe away with alcohol wipes and it look shiny brand new
this was a concern of mine too but I'm using the white one for over a week now and it's like the day one! i think it's quite safe to get the white one and use it without a case

Bad news. I read a post that suggested rubbing alcohol.
Had my white one x since 30th march.
no case, and the white is still the same as day 1
Still as bright and white as day one, 4th if April.

Once I had a blue stain on the back, I don't know why it happened. I gave it a good rub and it's white again.
I had a smudge on the back of mine after dropping it once at the gym. I was able to rub it off with my finger. I don't use a case (until the nice ones come out)
Sounds like white is generally fine. Thanks for everyone's input.
I don't want a case to ruin the great body of the One X, but if I get one I think the HTC one seems best.

I got myself a case for it,but even so i still find it a little dirty on the back sometimes but i just clean it with some wet napkins.
You won't need alcohool, just a wet cloth or kleenex will do the trick
There have been some reports of staining that won't come off, but nobody is sure "what" has stained them. The important thing is that you do NOT rub hard on a matte surface otherwise you may change it permanently.

Privacy screen protectors

Guys I want to go for a Privacy screen protector..are they good enough n do they spoil the color reproduction or anything?
N can anybody suggest a good one?

Tried one once. Not too bad until you are out in strong sunlight, then its sooooo private not even you can see the screen!
Alsoa pain in the car using sat nav. Holder has to be pointed right at you.

Did you ever get one? I want one mostly to cover a nasty crack on my screen (only visible when screen is off). I figure a privacy or mirror screen protector might hide it.
I see 2 brands coming up in my searches , Empire (inexpensive $2-$6) and Clarivue (expensive $19).

I ordered one of ebay and used it for a few months, I wrote a review somewhere on the site, it covers the screen well and can be taken off and reapplied, the problem was that I suffered an almost 30% decrease in brightness and so when out in direct sunlight, you have to change brightness to full which is even more of a battery drain, hope that helps

I got one from Empire. Looked awesome before applying, covers most of the screen. However, after applying I get diagonal annoying lines on the screen . Its unbearable. i took it off.
i want privacy screen protector for my HOX too, but the problem is i also want matte, anti-finger print
at first i was using this kind of screen guard. but after 1 month i changed it to clear one and yeah the screen even better than before..

How many people use screen protectors? Any like Gorilla Glass?

So I've had my HTC One X for a few months now and the minute I took it out of the box I put a screen protector on it, not wanting to get fingerprints on it before I put it on. I put it really well, and I kept it like that for a while til I got really fed up with the texture of the screen protector. I just took it off two days ago and it feels so much better! There really is nothing like gorilla glass. But I'm really paranoid about it and don't want it to get scratched, so I was wondering how many people use screen protectors on their HTC one Xs and how has that faired you, and also are there any screen protectors that feel just like gorilla glass?
I don't use a screen protector. Not yet. So far over 30 scraches and counting. The first few scratches were understandable (who would have guessed a pair of keys would rape the **** out of my display?) If it's the oleophobic coating that's being scratched then this is just ridiculous. he rest popped out of nowhere through normal use.
I think some OneXs just came out of a bad batch. My first OneX scratched way too easily, this second one I got (first started developing yellow spots) haven't gotten any scratches at all.

How long have you had your second one for? And do you use a case?
See what I mean? It's not the first time i read about people's screens not being prone to scratches after getting a new handset. Even my friend who owns the one x has not got one single scratch. I'm starting to really get pissed off at htc.

Honestly I know how you feel. I've been disappointed a couple of times with my One X since I got it, in fact I only started being satisfied with it at all once I got rid of Sense. Hardware-wise, though, yeah it could be better, battery life and colors, even. I just hope that mine isn't one of the ones prone to scratches... I really can't afford another one right now, and I would totally buy one anyways @[email protected]
I never used a screen protector on my one x and i have it pretty much since it was released. Don't have a single scratch on my screen yet, the trick is to be careful and not putting the phone and the keys in the same pocket.

Now that does make me feel better.
I use an Invisible Shield HD, and its near impossible to tell anything is on the phone. Only in direct sunlight is it visible, and that is only the edges that can be seen, only slightly. I also had 3 scratches on the screen, and they can't be seen anymore.

I don't do stupid things like putting it in a pocket with other stuff and then wonder why it's scratched? That's like cleaning your car with a stone and then saying it's more prone to scratches than everyone else's car.

I used my HTC sensation for 11 months with no screen protector and didn't have one scratch on it.
My HOX however I put a zagg screen protector on it straight away. I want to keep it in good condition for resale value in the future.
Apparently zagg have brought out a HD screen protector that doesn't have the orange peel touch effect, I'm searching everywhere but can't find these in the UK at the moment even though you can buy them from the zagg.com

Famous last words!...
I use a case (jelly) but not screen protector. I used a screen protector for about a month on my old desire hd and it was horrible. AND I forked out for an expensive one. Ruins the display and feels clammy to swype on. If you're careful, the screen doesn't get scratched really anyway, imo. It won't stop the screen cracking if you do drop it awkwardly either, which to me is the main worry.
Conclusion: If you bought your phone to enjoy it, don't get a screen protector 'cause they're horrible, if you didn't buy it to enjoy it, sell it and get yourself an old 3310.

My one x is full of microscratches (the ones you can only see tilting your phone in direct sunlight).
I'm EXTRA careful with my phones, and I've never had this problem before with my other htc phones (diamond, diamond 2, HD2, DesireHD, Sensation) some people say it's the coating or whatever, there's even an online petition to ask htc to solve this problem.
Use a screen protector! This phone is extra sensible to microscratches, you've been warned.

You can bend them a bit.
Basically you clean the screen, then just put it on, press once somewhere and it starts gluing itself on the screen, looks kinda cool.
You can take it off and apply again.

No issues at all, it is flexible, more like a hard thick plastic but still glass.
If you have something in between the glass and screen you will notice it though. So make sure there is no dust there.
