Hairline crack in casing or manufacturing feature?.

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.

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.

Yeah I agree, no scratches on mine, BECAUSE I LOOK AFTER IT
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

Had my One X for 3 months and I've never had a screen protector on it or a case and it has no marks on it at all, just gets a little dirty cause I'm a mechanic.

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.

Using a Brando UltraClear screen protector, it's simply unbeatable. And yes, I did try Zagg's, Martin's, etc..

I work in a though enviroment from time to time so i don't wanna take any chances.
I use bestskinsever.com Best screenprotector I've ever had, and its much cheaper then the once from Zagg.com

Check on YouTube there are very good tutorials

I'd recommend iShieldz screen protector. It lasts a long time, and is very stable. I had mine on my phone for 6 months before I took it off.

Will these screen protectors reduce the sensitivity of your screen to the touch?

Yes, they do, at first. But, only by a little. The sensitivity returns as you use your phone. I put one on in March and its as sensitive as none at all now.

i cant find screen protector for One V, I had to cut one from Galaxy s3 just to make it fit in the screen.

I've tried screen protectors in the past but never liked how they felt and realized that I can buy a replacement screen on ebay for a little over $10. With some of the tiny torx screwdrivers I invested in (home depot had them for $10), I can replace my screen if I feel it gets bad (youtube videos can show you how to take it apart). That is my solution. The added bonus is that if you break your screen, you have the stuff to replace it.

Privacy screen

Is there a privacy screen protector for this phone?
I asked around but heard nothing as of yet.

Only ever seen the one on Amazon from Handheld Items for $10

Haven't seen a 'privacy' one yet, though I know many people use matte protectors for the effect, though they have a wider angle of viewing. I personally have the Poetic FlipBook which I keep open at an angle when I'm trying to keep my message private - that way, I don't have a screen protector at all (which feels great) and I can take the case off easily when I'm at home or in bed.

Try capdase.

My thoughts on Find 7a

Hi I got my oppo Find7a while on a business trip to China 2 weeks ago (348 euro)
I made the mistake of exchanging a perfect midnight black with a white one because the back was so slippery that in the first 10 minutes of use I dropped my phone on the couch twice!
On the white one the volume and power button are poorly fitted and rattle a lot.
Also the screen has on the lower right corner a yellow/orange tint apparent from the first time I turned on the device!
Apart from those minor issues my major complaint is the contrast of the screen which is lacking compared to my HTC one M7 (sharp panel) I currently use. In comparison it makes the screen look a bit dull like my nexus 7 2013 which also has a jdi made panel.
Camera and sound are awesome and I don't care about battery life since we have the insanely fast charging.
This is the only thing that is holding me back from claiming Find 7a the perfect phone.
I guess at this price point you can not complain.

I have to say im impressed with the phone. The yellow patch on the screen goes away, leave the phone full brightness and playing a video, heat the screen up, its just the glue, had many a phone with the issue.
The button's do rattle on the white one, cant speak for the black, but not a massive issue for me. The screen looks slightly off to me as well, until i removed the factory screen protector, like night and day, have a nice glass protector on it now.
Fast charging is insanley cool. I get great battery life out of mines, but its nice to quick charge.
I have to say the phone phisically is perfect for me, its the software and lack of available customization that is the issue, but cyanogen should fix that

It's beyond me why they had to fit a screen protector and a bad quality one since they state the phone has gorilla glass 3.
It makes me a bit suspicious.
Do you think I could use the phone with out one?

Update
I got so annoyed I removed the screen protector I am amazed at how good the screen looks now.
Screen protector was a hard sheet of thick plastic that makes the display look bad.
If they were going to fit such a bad quality screen protector they shouldn't have bothered at all.
I only wish for the yellow tint on the lower part of the screen to go away and I have the perfect phone!

Same experience here too, I removed the factory screen protector and the screen is just awesome.
I don´t see my yellow tint that often, but it really feels like its going away. probably I have to try the full brightness video thing for a day.

I'm a bit gutted really. After reading user reports about the build quality of the find 5, I was hoping that the find 7 would be a massively premium phone - this seems not to be the case as people keep describing it as amazing considering it's not a premium device.
May as well go get a one plus

You got it all wrong the Find7a is a premium device !!!
Even phones costing triple and even more have small annoyances.
Oppo Find 7a is a very honest device no gimmics!

My white handset has neither the loose keys nor the yellow issue. The hardware does not look cheap and in fact has a premium vibe but isn't up to the standards of an M8. But then this is the down tempo device, the 7 would be a better price competitor and it is reported to have a more upscale feel with its carbon fiber (look) backplate. Meanwhile the reviews I've seen tend to place the OPO and Oppo as about on par in terms of perceived quality.
I would be a lot more worried about the horrid standby and bad battery life in general. If you're used to modern cell phones its going to catch you by surprise. I would be looking to see if the OPO has this mess with the radios and other low level software issues cleaned up and lean that direction if they did. I wouldn't buy either if it didn't until such time as they fix one or the other.
There is a lot to love about this phone, the hardware is excellent and even Color OS is a decent GUI with fun stuff and some legitimately useful ideas although immature. I liken it to a car that you really like but you're never sure if its going to start or if you'll get there. This phone is like that. It's software is not even close to final and you can expect it to shut down, lock up, have unexplained battery losses and such on an infrequent but regular basis.

I'll corroborate to say that my yellow tint went away. The first day I had it I was a little disappointed by it but I figured I would stop noticing it. One reason I bought a phone with such a big screen is to watch my anime on the go, which includes watching it at full brightness when on the bus/glare. I didn't even think that the heating up might address it and checking it again after reading this thread it appears the tint is gone.
I've also had some weird flip flopping with standby time. For the first week, it would only drain 3% overnight, but for the last 2 days, it's been draining 10-12% overnight, and then as of tonight, it barely drained again. I'm not really sure what's going on but there are definitely some weird little software issues that need to be cleaned up. If nothing else, Entropy and the others seem geared up to get Omnirom going

The pre-installed screen protector is a common thing among some smartphone manufacturers. Sony also does it with their Xperia line, my friends Xperia S also came with a pre-installed screen-protector, and i don't know why you're saying it looks bad with the screen protector, it doesn't the only thing the screen protector may have has a step back is that fingerprints and grease from your hands get on the screen much quicker. Anyway, it is a quality screen protector, cheap ones scratch very easily, this doesn't. If you want to buy another one, buy one of those made of glass, those are supposed to be great.
My Find 7a came with a yellow tint also, i've already started playing District 9 via Plex on full brightness .

I tried this today, ran a YouTube video for about 2hrs at full screen brightness but doesn't seem to have made any difference. I will try again this eve and run it for longer, but would be interested to hear from others to see if it works for them?

So the general consensus is that the screen looks much better with the factory protector removed?
I got my device yesterday and have to say I love it. I was very impressed with it the second I took it out of the box and felt it in my hand. I knew it would be a nice device as I owned the Find 5 as well but it was much nicer than I had imagined. The build quality is top notch. My buttons do not rattle but they do have some play in them but then again the Nexus 5 buttons had some play, a lot of HTC m8 buttons have some play. As long as the button isn't falling off who cares if it has some play?

Hi, agree in some points,
so in direct comparison to the Find5 screen the Find7a Screen is not that good, (for me) very too blueish, not good black color, weird pixel densitiy (maybe this is up on my still existing screen protector where i think i cannot read super small text which is no issue on the find5) and the yellow tinty glue on the bottom side.
I just rund benchmarks for 2 hours, yellow tinty get little faded but still visible also i used a hair dryer some minutes (not on full heat and really careful and with battery out of the device) which makes the very hard things disappear, but still not yet in full, also i´m absolutely not wanted to do such things as customer when i receive a new device ;o)
I will give it a try with the "long hour video playback" this evening, else i send it back tomorrow in hope to receive a device which has a little warmer display and with biggest focus without the tinty stuff (which is a no go).
From all other sides for me the find7a is nearly perfect and i find it better than find5, find7a is awesome (size / sound / performance / colorOS in the meantime), the build quality is also okay, but find5 was little more ahm - unique / premium feel in hand, but also heavy for its size.
Regards, Silver

Sir, if I'm not asking too much, please compare camera quality of this phone with other(if you have of course). As I've seen on reviews, camera of this phone is great. I'm looking to renew my phone and my decision is LG G3 or Oppo find 7(a), or 1+1 if will be available to buy without invitation. Thanks
