[Q] Does your phone creak? - HTC One X

Just want to see how many of you guys have a HOX that creaks at the back and what you've done with them?
Mines started creaking, can't return it been over 28 days currently on second replacement. Spoke to DAP who said I'd need to send it to their partner for repairs. But doubting what condition it'll come back in!

Do you meant the tick tick sound at back near camera when you shake? If so it comes from every phone

No that's common. It's the body that creaks when you press around the back.

You not going for the S3 then mate? And i had that with first phone i had and got it replaced. Was in the first week i noticed it so returned it back straight away..Was the white one. Got a grey one now and it works fine no issues at all

Nah, think I may give the S3 a miss this time. Sense is just a better experience than TouchWiz. This phone will only get better.
Will give it a week or so before returning it back to HTC for a repair. Will see if creaking goes or not as no other issues apart from that.
I expect another Samsung device will be anticipated after iPhone 5 release maybe that will be the one to rule them all. The note 2!

what in regards in having it in a case? if you have it in a case that maybe stop the creaking..and yeah either Note 2 or Iphone 5 or even Nexus maybe the phones to go for instead of this s3..
To be honest i am more than happy with the One X and if we can get AOKP or cm9 working on this bad boy as the last versions i tried on the s2 i would be happy

It only creaks in a case if you press hard. So not too bothersome. Naked it creaks if pressed with pressure. Q3 onwards should be good to see what we get.

Gnexus to one x

Hi guys,
Considering moving from my nexus to the one x, has anyone done so and if you have any regrets? Pros / cons?
I'm sorely tempted but have a couple of reservations. Camera lens / battery life
I get 2 days out my gnexus
Thanks

I have a galaxy nexus galaxy s2 and 1x. Battery is pretty poor on the Ox iff you compare it to the gnex but im sure an update will sort it. Whats your concern about cam lens? Is it because it sticks out iff so i just keep mine in a pouch an dont put it in poket with keys just like any other device iv had. The handset other than that is awesome in my eyes
Mod or Die
Yeah it is the protruding lens, does the 1x come with a pouch? I like the nexus but do not like amoled screen that much
Think it is sometimes bad reading about issues

Personally i found the one x to have a MUCH better battery than the G Nexus, even with AOKP and Franco Kernels but hey....
1% drain over 8 hours idle.... My G Nexus couldnt manage that in a million years...
Thanks all
any regrets at all going to the one? All the stories of issues is making me wary
Might head to carphone warehouse at lunch time!

My Galaxy Nexus would drain 1-3% over night and last 2 days by average, One X currently drains much more, but lets wait for an update.
Apart from battery, there is no way I would go back to G Nexus. Just do screen comparison side by side and that's it
One X is faster, plays movies faster (it starts playing instantly), audio quality sounds the same to me, I tend to listen to musing for 6 hours a day by average.
WiFi is working as expected, not slower, not faster, no problems with 5GHz network.
One X is slimmer and fits in the same belt case I was using with G Nexus.
It took me just few hours with One X to know I'm keeping it, selling G Nexus in few days, it's powered off, I won't use it anymore.
Overall One X seems like huge improvement over G Nexus.

Nexus is acting as wireless hotspot so I can set it up lol

I was doing the same. I did cut my SIM but it was not compatible, it had too big contacts. If the metal part looks like a globe then you might have problems. Hopefully cut SIM worked in GNexus in an adapter, but didn't work in One X.
Went to O2 store and got replacement, can't get any easier that that, took literally 1 minute to get it.
Anyway, was using GNexus as hotspot for entire day before that sim replacement.
Now GNexus is bagged and there is no way I would go back to it. One X is that great.
Stuff I don't like about One X compared to Nexus: hardware button placements. Buttons should be in exact same positions as on G Nexus. I keep pressing Vol accidentally when plugging in usb cable. Power on top always requires me to reach out with second hand. Nexus had the buttons laid out perfectly.

Hi Zorachus
Vodafone UK sim cut and installed ok, no problems there though it looked close
So far I love it as the screen doesn't have that amoled grubbyness on some colours esp grey.
I don't know if there is some uneven areas but you can find faults on anything if you look hard enough lol
Only one charge 18 hours on battery WiFi on, 1 hour 40 on screen, 60% batttery left
Seen a couple of what was like screen brightness flickers but went away, it was very subtle and I didn't have auto brightness on, weird!
Have grey one and so far very pleased and I prefer the button layout as it is, I'm old school I guess
Bought from carphone warehouse and they have a 14 day return policy should something go wrong, the guy in the shop said they sell out pretty quick and had had no returns
Any questions let me know
Thanks

Is it possible to return a faultless used h1x?

I have wondered this for a while, would it be possible to return the device to Amazon for a refund? If they asked why, would I get away with blaming the overheating?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
yes you would probably get away with it.
If I were you, blame all the common problems that they can't immediately test out of the box, screen occasionally flickering, overheating, software crashing, small scratches etc and they will take it back.
But, if it was truly faultless and perfect, I would seriously sell it at a profit on ebay.... I'm on my third one x now and even this one has faults. I'm still maybe toying with the idea of returning it and getting a note but I'll miss sense UI so much as well as hating touchwiz.
I'm genuinely serious... a truly faultless HOX is extremely rare.
I returned my faultless Galaxy Note to Amazon, purely down to the size. It was giving me a sore thumb due to the buttons being awkward to reach when landscape thumbtyping.
It has to be within 28 days, and the phone must be unmarked, and all original packaging included.

Loose screen

Out of the box my screen was loose on the left side. I pushed it in and now it's not clicking when I push it in. Exept from when the phone gets warm its a little clicking sound and the screen is flexible right under the charging outtake left side.
Is it possible that the screen will totally get loose again later? It's now 2 days old. Ht24.
Any way you fix it when the phone is warm?

This is my 12th one. No other issues with it. It's actually a little loose even when phone is not warm. Very small tick sound when pressed down.

he is asking about a specific thing, you saying HT23 has no issues means nothing first you only told us which month and not which day about your batch the day comes after HT23
second its completely unrelated to the OP's question!

WOW you have gone through 12 handsets.. HTC should be shamed.. This must be costing them a fortune in replacements.. They are probably doubling production just to keep up with the duds!
Personally I would take it back. .As a poster said above it isn't what you paid for..
Yes. Thanks for your opinions. I will return it. And wait for s3 or a newer batch. I'm pretty tired of returning and ordering new ones.

look if you place a case over it then you will hardly notice it. i am going through the same thing as you..3rd handset i am on now. problem my carrier will only repair it so my last hope is HTC if to replace it or not..if they say to me they will repair it then i can wait till it is completely messed up ie the screen comes entirely loose and then return it..for now the case over the phone will do the job for me as it is not that big issue at the mo...
so for you like hamdir said return it and you probs get a new batch and will be better..

Any one know of a parts company for M7?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone found a good parts company yet for the HTC one? Especially if it's in the UK.
I've cracked the glass circle lens for the camera. I have to say I did absolutely nothing yet it's cracked from the centre spidering outwards.
I have seen whole backs for sale in USD. But it seems silly for a centimetre bit of glass that I can just pick out, and push in a replacement.
Any help is appreciated. Google and eBay have been of no help at the moment.
Thanks

I'm thinking it would be near impossible to replace it yourself. Apparently the One is incredibly hard to tinker with as far as taking it apart.

I'd have to agree. I have once again blown a speaker in mine...this makes 3 our of 5 HTC phones I've owned through the years that have had busted speakers. =\
Anyway, in my Hero and OG Evo the speaker was easy to replace, I didn't even bother replacing it in my 4g LTE.
This phone, however, is apparently one of the hardest as far as repair work goes. Ifixit rated it 1 out of 10 in the department.

Going to HTC one from S4

Hey everyone first off if I say anything stupid I apologize in advance.
So due to the Verizon sale on the HTC one I decided to leave the S4 behind for more then one reason.
First being that the build quality is piss poor at best, and second I can't get my AOSP fix.
My only questions are
1. Has anyone else gone from the s4 to the one? If so any regrets?
2. The most important question: is there any chance of me getting a HTC one that I can't flash Roms on. I.e. upgraded firmware etc..
If everything checks out I hope to joining this community soon!

Oh word. I myself much prefer the feel and shape. With a one there's a wow factor for how solid it feels. It really does feel great. The diff in screen size is hardly noticeable. While the one screen pops I do envy how the s4 looks like there's no depth. Speed is about the same. The camera on the one is better IMO but both have their strengths. Battery on the one is better over all. And the no physical buttons is a plus to me. Plus the volume and power buttons are hardly noticeable unless your using them. I suggest using santods tiktak ROM if you like aosp. Very smooth and stable. Still in beta too so means it'll just get bettet

I wanted the One before it came to Verizon, so I got the S4 instead, but switched when the opportunity presented itself. I'm pretty happy with it. While I enjoyed the S4, the build quality doesn't compare to the One. The S4 has a better camera, but the One has awesome speakers. They really do have their own strengths and weaknesses. Put a KitKat ROM on your One and go out and enjoy it!

Hope to see here you. The SG4 was a "fun" phone, I guess I'd describe it, but the HTC One is a real mans phone. No cheapy plastic, HTC Sense is great, I personally love it. I do miss the feeling of, oh hey I can just toss this phone around, with the HTC One, it's just too perfect, so for the first time since my first smart phone (HTC Eris) I put a very light, clear TPU case, which I absolutely LOVE. Don't have to worry about the metal getting dinged up on the sides, (it's a very soft metal, if you check out scratch videos on youtube, you can see on this one side the metal is VERY light and susceptible to scratches, I had no case for like the first 3 days, I went to pick up the phone and accidentally like push it forward (it was on a table) and it pushed into a lighter.. to my surprise I now have a small scratch from the tip of the metal lighter. That's when I went and found the case. I couldn't believe it scratched it, It was such a soft touch to the lighter.
I went without a case on the sg3/sg4 and both are still 9/10 condition.

I think the HTC One is better. You can't beat the boom sound speakers, and it's so easy to root and s-off. There are so many great ROMs available too. Can't go wrong
