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

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.

Man I went back and forth on this so much, eventually called clove at the last minute and changed to white. Grey looks awesome though! I just thought the white showed off the body styling a bit more, and the glossy edges didn't stand out as much on the white. Plus I can find where I put it down much easier
White without a shadow of doubt... It just stands out and really shows of the curve and design of the phone. I've had the phone a few days now and there is still not many people out there using White phones will also makes you feel a little unique haha.
I was also undecided about which color to get but eventually I ordered the white one.
I like both but after seeing them both I went for the dark one.
It has to be white.
This phone is made to be white, it looks absolutely fantastic.
If I could only get grey, I wouldn't get one at all. The difference is night and day.

White looks great BUT get's dirty very quickly and could stain much more easily. I put my white SGS2 down on a desk at work and afterwards had a small blue stain from a drop of ink or so on it. It took a lot of cleaning alcohol and rubbing before that had faded away! With the 'texture' on the back of the One X I'm not sure that would ever come off.....so black it was for me this time ;-)
Grey here.
The White will end up a piss stained yellow eventually, regardless of claims made. The iPhones don't suffer such a fate because of the glass. Any polycarbonate discolours in time.
I also don't like the fact the white makes the phone more easily identifiable in public. People will know what it is as soon as you pull it out of your pocket. That's just asking for trouble.
It's a shame because overall I think the white looks stunning but there's just too much unknown risk for comfort.

I can wipe the ink marks easily. I saw some videos with some one writing with a ball pen on the back of white one x and wiping it so easily. So, I am with white.

i got a dark one... seems better to me
It really depends on how you look after your phone...but here is the real truth. The polycarbonate body isn't all that tough despite what HTC have said. The white one IS stain resistant but not stain proof!!
But the real issues actually lie with the grey one.
1) It is a fingerprint magnet. Even cleaning it with a damp cloth doesn't remove the fingerprints easily. You will need mild detergent mixed with water on the cloth.
2) It goes SHINY when scuffed. In fact, a few grey models I saw were actually slightly marked out of the box from new.
3) Rubbing at it over time, such as in a pocket or from brisk cleaning, may cause the finish to change where this happened.
The big advantage of the white one, is that the texture differences are much less visible especially if rubbed or has fingermarks and is actually, and surprisingly, likely to look better if not exposed to too much staining risk.
Having said all of that, I think the grey looks more refined and sophisticated. BUT, I ended up with a white one for what I consider those practical reasons above. I absolutely hate when matte surfaces go shiny when they get rubbed/scratched etc.
The Xperia S is the absolute WORST plastic phone for a long time. A fantastic phone badly let down by the choice of casing material. The black matte surface rubs off VERY VERY easily. The white one stains almost immediately you have it and the staining doesn't come off.
This is one area I think Apple have pegged. The iPhone 4/4S phones simply do not age with careful-normal usage. A good choice of metal and scratch resistant glass surfaces. OR HTC should do what they did with phones like the Evo 3D, where you can replace the whole back with a new one when it gets scruffy.
Black? they only do White and Gray

White!!
Oredered a white without seeing in real life. It was really beautiful when i first saw it. Nog i've send it Doa , and in the mean time I saw a grey one live in a shop. So if I wanted too I could get a grey one now, but there is no doubt I'm getting a white one again!!
I really didn't like the grey one... It looks like just another dark rectangle smartphone... You don't see the design as with the white one.
The grey one in the shop was full with fingerprints, smudge, uneven coloring, just weird. And the white one was as new...
And that from a guy that never tought he would want a white cell phone:d.

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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
Barry
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.
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.

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.
...and screen didn't even show a scratch
Happened of course by mistake, i don't recommend anyone to try it on purpose unless you have unlimited budget or are addicted to adrenalin rushes...
i ****ing froze when i felt it slip out of my hand and took an eternity to hit the concrete floor with a dull *whack*....it just layed there, the white backcover, the HTC logo laughing back at me kind of saying "idiot, pick me up, turn me over and stare at the cracked screen"
moral of the story: i'm getting a ****ing case and a screen protector
You're lucker, the guy in youtube dropped his and the screen completely shattered
LOL beginners luck. Time to get case for me now.

+1 .. i dont know how many times it's slipped out my fingers .. luckily onto the carpet from a low height or the bed .. so far no concrete ...
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.

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.

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.
