Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.
I think it only happens when I have the charger plugged in. Anyone know what it is? And if its any help, I'm running leedroids Rom.

I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

Generally, those two circumstances tend to occur simultaneously!

Yup! Do NOT play games while charging...it is a sure way of pushing the thermal limits!

No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v
If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug

oh so its not overheating?
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.

Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.

I used my touchpad’s charger which is a 2A charger and it charges twice the speed. So you can try using any tablet's charger for a fast charge..

i bought a " 1800 Mah " battery and it never stops charging even when it reaches 100% the charging sign stays on when plugged in. Anyway to stop this from happening ?
Does this happen with the original battery, too ?

It's a kernel issue. No fix as of now.

This is not a cheap replacement battery without the proper charging circuitry problem?
Non-HTC Batteries have issues with the kernel. They cant communicate the attainment of 100% charge.
Could somebody whos one x doesn't flicker all the time please do this quick test:
Watch your screen as you plugin a charger, does it flicker for a second or two, as you plugin the charger?
Thanks..

Same here, every time i plug the charger in
Thanks, how long you had them for? Just trying to decide if this is a separate issue from the constant screen flicker, or if its just a sign that eventually its gonna flicker all the time again

Maybe it's a voltage regulator that's the problem for the flickering screens?
There was somebody who said HTC had confirmed that to chitter chatter (not sure if that's the correct company name) that it was faulty voltage regulators, although the HTC support just says to get it replaced without further info apart from 'we are investigating'
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Personally I think even if it flickers when plugged in there's a hardware fault, ie my dhd never flickers when I plug it in...

never had any flickers, plugging in the charger or taking off the charger doesnt cause any flickers.

i think ill keep mine guys at least i have non of all this flicker non sense and a perfectly white screen
the slight softness on the left side of the screen, which comes and goes! im trying to investigate, is the only thing "bugging" me, im used to rock solid metal HTC phones not a toy...sigh
Just to let others know I use several frozen gel packs which when I am using my OneX for hardcore gaming I place the gel backs under the phone to keep it cool. Anyone else do this?
Heat + cold = condensation...not a good idea.

Dave is right...This practice of yours will damage your phone on the long run. If your phone regularly reaches temperatures above 50 degrees celcius, you should consider returning cause faultu hardware might be the culprit behibd your overheating issues.
Gel packs? Eh? My phone gets warm when playing games but I deal with it. My ipad3 gets crazy hot but nothing bad comes of it. I have faith in htc.. If it gets hot then find but I shouldn't have to worry about it getting hot and it possibly overheating
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Actually for Laptops Thermapak has a Heatsuit which aborts the heat and keep it cool. I wish we have one for our One X,. It actually works pretty well.
On my HOX the battery health says "Overheated" after gaming for like 20 mins
I think the most useful cooling tool is the fan...
but maybe the air conditioner is great...

true there can be condensation but I've been using gel packs for about 2 years, always on my sensation when gaming at home, desire hd as well as now the one x, never had issues. cooling fan is one idea but the gel packs are awesome. you can buy portable cooling units that are designed for phones albeit more expensive
I am looking for a portable charger (which actually powers a smartphone, and wont get really hot (like my powerchimp)). Any suggestions or reccomendations (preferably under £20)

He Lo, yesterday I bought a Google Asus Nexus7 tablet, with it came a nice charger, with a double amperage compared wit type original HTC One X charger. I'm wondering, can I als use it to charge my OneX wit this charger without damaging my phone?
Thanks for your comments and advices.

Hi there,
Yes, you can. I have a 5v 2A charger I use in the car and it charges fine, it does take a little longer than the mains charger but otherwise it works great!
Dave
Don't you have any knowledge about electricity? You can charge even with 100A charger, it merely states how much current it's able to provide. Device controls the amount of current it draws.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes you can charge with it but you shouldn't, it can damage the device's charging components if the charger's voltage output not very stable(bad quality).
It can also heat up your charger and/or device.

Err... what? Are these Asus chargers known for bad quality or something?
It should be fine. It might take more time to charge, if the data pins are not connected to indicate a mains charger to One X.
yes you can !
I have similar charger for asus transformer and no problem with charging HOX .

That's somewhat harsh don't you think? What happened to the friendly helpful XDA community?!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yep, my HOX charges just fine on the 2A charger that came with my N7. It doesn't charge any faster, but then I wouldn't expect it to - if the battery in the HOX were able to charge at a higher current, I'm sure HTC would have shipped it with a higher capacity charger!

Does he have to? What's that attitude?
minus the attitude, Presterin is correct.
You're right, sorry about the attitude. But this has been discussed multiple times even on One X forums, and it's getting annoying.

what's annoying is people using that excuse 'its been discussed already multiple times' as a justification for the way you responded.
If you ignore my first sentence, didn't I provide informative reply? This is pointless and off-topic.
