How do you check which screen you have? - HTC One X

There seems to be some variability in screens in the One X. There seem to be at least three panel suppliers from what people have posted. Sony, Acer and Sharp.
Where do you get this information?
panel_id=0x294000f
or
panel_id=0x4940014
or
[DISP] mipi_video_sony_hd720p_init: assign initial setting for SONY_NT id 0x18103 Cut1, PANEL type = PANEL_ID_ELITE_SONY_NT

Read this. It is only two panels so far. The Sony one is from a One XL log so not relevant to us.

Is it certain that the Sony panel is exclusive to the One XL, and there aren't three suppliers across both models?

Puzzle
Hi guys,
I tried to find out which display to buy as an replacement for my broken one (HTC One X European version).
From ebay auctions I happen to know there are two displays so far:
Sharp - green flex
Acer - yellow flex
From this forum I happen to know
Sharp = 0x294000f
Acer = 0x4940014
However...
I checked out last_kmsg.txt which says my panel is Sharp ([ 0.000000] Found panel_vendor: 294000f)
But disassembling the phone I realized it got an yellow flex.
So I am slightly confused which one to buy. I do not care about the colors (yellow/blue) so much, just want to avoid the incompatibility...
Havent you met this? I would be glad for any comments...

touchscreen XDAIIs and XDAIII - the same ? what about this ebay offer ?

hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!
xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki
hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.
that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!
are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)
hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.
Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary
hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.
I've the same question...

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)

[Q] LCD

Just wondering if anyone has replaced their LCD screen in this phone and what kind of success you have had. My dilemma is my LCD went bad I purchased TWO new ones and after install i am stuck on the lowest brightness setting with no way to adjust(impossible to see display when outside in sunlight)it. Almost all search results return me to a specific seller, I have seen others but they go for over $120. Please leave any info of where you bought yours and how much you paid. Thanks in advance.
Paid $25 from ebay on two diffrent g2s. Both worked without a flaw. One of those phones I also needed to replace the flex cable. That may be your problem. I have also bought 2 of those from ebay. One for $30 and one for $40, the 40 one came with the whole slider which made things a bit easier

HTC OneV -2 month experience (The good, bad and ugly)

Hi guys,
This is my first post. HTC one V is the first smartphone that I owned. I got it through a relative from Malaysia in April and to tell the truth I was hooked.
The Good: Excellent looks and finish and a brilliant display was things that are a bargain at this price range. Combine that with a fluid interface, excellent battery life for a smartphone (i got about 36hrs once) and tethering support it was real good.
The Bad: But as everything else out there there are the lows. First is the camera- everything is good except for the image quality. Looking at the images on the phone screen can be deceiving (display is that good). On a larger computer screen or print the images look just average. The colors look artificial and may often look over softened (clear once you zoom the image). Samsung galaxy ace and sony xperia mini series (both have 5MP cameras) are miles ahead in image quality. Sound quality is good but not the best. Placement of charger port was also odd. Except for the camera other things can be forgiven including the non-existent Compass !
Ugly: Now to the hardest part - complaints. First time i switched on the phone I noticed yellow patches on display on the left side bottom and top corners. Clearly visible on startup screen, browser, documents, ebooks etc., (white and grey backrounds). I was thinking whether to send it back to malaysia to claim guarantee and then decided against it for two reasons -
1. patches is not an issue in other screens (except for the plain backround) and can be ignored as it is in the corners (it did not go away even after a months use as some claimed).
2. I was in absolute love with the phone and just could not think of not having it for more than a month if it has to go to malaysia and then come back :silly:
Then last week I was traveling. watched a video clip, listened to some songs attended two calls and then put the mobile in my pocket (more than 40% charge remaining). After about 45mins when I took it out and the phone was simply dead. Nothing could make it switch on. Now I have sent it back to Malaysia with my relative. I really don't know whether they will repair it or replace and when I am going to get it.
So that's the story. I hope I get a good unit back
Are yo sure you talking about the same phone! lol
i've had mine for2 months and quite frankly, it rocks
camera is awesome, and very clear pictures when i transfer to pc.
have friends with differents htc's ranging from the one to sensation and they all envy my new phone.
Im Loving it!
I'm Lovin' it
Hi japodude,
Loving the phone doesn't make the image better and yes I am talking about the same phone. I agree that the image is very clear, unfortunately there is a difference between clarity and quality.
I never said camera is bad but the quality of image definitely is not up to the mark and may be due to optimizations by the camera software. Look at bright portraits with contrasting colors and you will see colors getting a washed-out look. It just could have been better. You may not see this in landscapes. Or may be I got a bad piece of camera in my set.
But I do agree on one count. The phone is awesome
ive used a spectromitor to calibrate monitor colours to match my phone colour. the real test would be to print one picture and see.
my previous phone is nokia x6,,also 5mp,,i compared camera picture of these 2 phones and i must say my x6's camera is far better than one v
and im facing problems of heating..gaming makes this phone really hot..and i got one time experience of after gaming for 15 mins,, phone got hot,, i leave it for 2 hours,, when i picked it up its still hot,, i put it in the floor to absorb cold and then it cools..
but overall im satisfied with my 1st android phone..the price,, looks and performance
Hi alborotz,
Nokia traditionally is good with camera (hardware). Remember the N-series, and now the N8 and pureview, something that HTC will take a long time to achieve. Check out the blind test on gsmarena comparing pureview to a number of phone cameras and even olympus. It is not a surprise for me that HTC One X came last (actually zero votes!!!).
One V is not much of a gamer, I believe, but a good all-rounder. i am sure you must have admired the display when playing some of those (Temple Run, Angry Birds, Raging thunder). Things just look so ONEderful. I checked out a colleague's galaxy SII. Though AMOLED, it had a heavy bluish tinge, almost like looking through a blue filter. Comparing both these side by side, One V was better in clarity and SII better with the contrast (Not bad for a phone in this range!!) Heating must be due to the aluminium body which conducts heat better than the plastics out there. May be its good for the phone internals (i am guessing here!!).
I am just wondering when I will get my phone back -whether it will be a replacement or repair. just itching to get it back
Thanks guys
I like my One V. Is small, handy, has crisp and good sound, also screen is visible in direct sunlight (now we have african temperatures over 30 C, here in Poland). And the phone is much lighter than Evo 3D, which I had earlier.
I love this phone. Very good first android/starter phone for anyone thinking about that.
I got my phone- and a new one
Hi guys,
To conclude, I finally got my phone back and yes its a new one too. This time no trace of yellow spots... Back to days of android on my ONEderful V :highfive:

Yes, you're absolutely right about this.
I have compared my One V to Galaxy Note and i'm so amazed how my One V is look more awesome than that bluish semi-giant screen G-Note
Maybe your pocket got you into the power+vol. up brick - - sounds plausible by your description of pocket brick

I did consider that angle. The position was not suitable for that to happen. I put the phone in my front left jeans pocket, the chin was down and screen facing away from me. In that position both keys (volume and power) comes towards my left with power key to the open part of jeans and volume key away from outside thigh. So, that's pretty much a far stretched possibility. But then as one Mr. Holmes said "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".
And now the replacement unit is too good. No trace of anything yellow. And boy I am happy..except that I have to buy a screenguard again

bezbeV,
How long did it take to get your phone back from HTC?
I have a problem with my camera where yellow specs/dots show up on pictures on white backgrounds. I have only seen one other post about this issue on another forum.
I contacted HTC and they said to perform a soft reset and if that didn't work, a factory reset. Both did nothing. My next option is to contact their warranty and repair specialists. Just wondering if its worth it.
Thanks.

Well, it actually took quite a long time, almost 2+ months, but then again it may depend on the country/region you are in. But do read my previous post - I did not give the phone for repair just because it had yellow spots, but it was DEAD. So I did not have a choice.
Next is your second point. HTC is bluffing. The yellow spot is a "manufacturing defect on the LCD screen" which will not go away with any soft or hard reset. Don't waste your time on this, but do make backups. If you purchased the phone recently, DEMAND a replacement immediately from HTC. Check the phone on the spot for any spots before accepting the new piece.
I believe that it is worth to get a replacement even if it takes a month than to live with the thought that what you purchased with your hard earned money which is supposed to be 'quality-checked' before delivery is a defective piece. You certainly did not get it from a factory-seconds store or discount sale. Why should you carry a defective piece?
Regards

Hi, am actually from India and I got the phone through a relative in Malaysia. I am sorry but cannot help you with the best price place. But as far as yellow spots go, i too heard that phones after april has come rectified. So prefer a set which is manufactured after april by checking serial number on the pack.it will be in the format AANNAAANNNN (N-number, A-alphabet). Prefer something that starts with SH over HT and 'N' at 4th place supposedly give you the manufacturing month (look for a value 5 and above here!). Once you have purchased it, open the set in front of them and check for any yellow spots (visible on white and grey backgrounds). If so return the piece immediately. You are eligible for a replacement then.
Do let us know once you get it.. best wishes
This happens with me a lot!

Black SE DHD?

So I just ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-HTC...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2c69d68ca4 (the bigger photo in description is not the right one, when you click on it you'll see the black one: http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/dctrade11/media/desire-hd-black-housing-a.gif.html)
But I can find little to none black DHDs in google. What's the story behind it? Did it actually came in black or is this color only available as a replacement part? I'am pretty confident the housing I bought is genuine, but even in ebay it's hard to find one...

http://www.gsmsp.com/products/Spare...g_for_HTC_Desire_HD_G10_Black_2096_21967.html
i confirm that the first one is completely legit, i've swapped it on my friend's DHD and it fits perfectly.
afaik only black DHD that ever went to sale was from orange carrier, no one else sold it

It looks genuine to me. I just replaced my covers - there's more benefit to change them other than looks as I found out, regarding the antennas built into the the battery, GPS/flash and sim covers! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368435
i just received mine and it looks absolutely brilliant, vol keys as expected, included as well. will post photos later.

broken display, replacement?

hello,
my display of my Galaxy Nexus was broken (pic), and i am looking for a replacement or rather a new one.
I have the GSM-Version of the phone.
Now i found on eBay serveral offers with displays from the Verizon-Version. So my question is, does that display fit into the GSM-Version too?
So i mean the connectors and dimesnsion etc..., are they identical?
The frame around is different i know, but io only need a new display.
My phone still works fine, also with the damaged display but i would use my loved G-Nexus for a few more month.
Any ideas?
tons of topics on this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ace-screen-t1562902/post41174586#post41174586
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/cdma-screens-gsm-nexus-dont-t1780491
short answer... yes.
ok!
So now i ordered a new one from a eBay-seller here
Anyone can confirm that this part is a original one? Have heard something that they reproduce the screens in Asia, but cant imagine.
Thinking the original Samsung ones are they only screens that do exist or?
