HTC One X Bug - Bar flashing at bottom of screen - HTC One X

Hi guys,
Please see the attached video. As you can see a menu bar like band keeps flashing at the bottom of the screen. This happens even when I am on the Homescreen. It does not happen all the time but at Random. This bar flashes even when its shutting down and the HTC logo is being displayed.
I am using this phone since April and I have observed this problem since Day 1. I thought an upgrade to 1.28 might solve this but it hasn't. I even tried Hard reset but the problem persists.
Would like to know if anyone else is facing a similar issue. Is this just a software glitch or should I ask for a replacement?
Kindly let me have your feedback.

My update to 1.28 fixed this problem. Try upgrading to 1.29 if you can and see if it helps

I hoped 1.28 would fix it but alas. 1.29 is not yet out for India. Hoping that it would fix it

Personally I would say Software, but unfortunately nobody knows for sure.
i have another problem to send "mms" i have correctly configured the APN
I bought 2 One X's, one has screen jumping issue and was sending back for replacement, another one doesn't has issue......yet. I believed that it is a hardware issue but just my 2 cents

I may have solved the problem but I'm not sure will carry out tests if the problem recurs to me more, I will tell you how I did it
I pretty much solved the problem of flickering and jumping screen.
I installed from the market ZDbox, enter "system cleaner" (to clean the cache) then press "clean all cache"
let me know if it works

Does it still work for you?
I tried your idea and i worked right after i cleaned the cache. After a bit it started to jump again.
Really hope this is a software problem that can be fixed with a patch. Anyone heard anything yet?
What are people doing with this ? I am having the same problem and I am wondering if I should send it back or hope that some kind of software update will fix it.

Believe me, this is a typical software glitch. I had it 2 times in the past 5 days, and most of the time it was triggered with the now known taskbar glitch.
At the moment when i turn my phone into sleepmode for a half minute or so and turn it back on the jumping is gone.
I can't imagine that this is related to a hardware fault. I have seen many hardware and software issues on computers/other devices throughout my life, and this one is acting like a typical software/gpu driver glitch
So what would you recommend? To send it back or to wait for HTC to release a update. I am not sure what to do.

I would wait indeed, or you can try out a custom rom which has the 1.28 update already baked in
OTA 1.28 is out now, so you could try that first before sending the phone back
I've tried 1.28 and 1.29 updates but the jumping still occurs. Annoying.

[Q] Screen sometimes not responding

Hi,
am I the only one who's screen sometimes doesn't respond when waking the phone up? When I push the power button another two times it works as it should. I'm on the latest LeeDroid (but it also happened with JDroid).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Thanks!
Just happened to me 10min ago. I tried to wake it and nothing, thought it died. Pressed power a few times and it woke
Hope this can be fixed.
This happened to me also I'm on stock though. Happened a few times tbh

this happened to me while playing who games but the screen had been on for a while so i don't know if its hardware or the game's issue

Hm, this is really annoying and I'm not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem since it's always disappearing by switching the screen off and on again...
download a drawing software from the market and make sure every part of your screen takes user touch event.

It's definitely software-related. Since I'm on CM9 (TripNRaVeR) this problem never happened again.
Hey Guys,
Try this for partially non responding htc one x touch screen:
--> Apps
Disable:HTC Weather Provider / HTC weather sync provider / maps / Weather / Weather Widget
Reason: my case: device working ok before upgrades. malfunction was logically software related. Few trial-errors. Solution as indicated.
cheers
This happens if charging through an extension lead. Any other time could just be caused incidental on a software stutter.

i'm having same problem, htc one x in vietnam. So what is the solution? I tried shipped rom, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 stock rom; and now android revolution 7.0.0, leedroid 6.4.0, insert coin 6.4.5 rom having the problem too
Same problem here (still).. Let's hope the Jellybean update will fix it
There are threads like this already.
It does happen to many users. I had this problem too, but it is gone with 2.17 . This is charger related stuff

Can't pull up the notification bar

Hi,
I have a problem on my HTC one X - I can't pull up the notification bar.
after pulling it down, the only way to remove it is to press the Home or Back keys.
the problem comes and goes, and the touch sreen is working with no problem on the same places.
I'm with the original ROM, version 1.28.707.10
I can't think of any application I installed that cause this, because as I said, the problem just stoped by itself, and then coming back a few times.
Any idea what can it be?
Thanks,
Are you using a launcher?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium
no.
but the problem was fixed by itself again yesterday,
and today i got the update to 1.29.707.11 - maybe it will solve it for good.
I'm having the same problem.
In landscape mode I can pull it up again but not in portrait mode.
I'm having the issue with Leedroid ROM and CM9...full wipe doesn't resolve the issue.
Anyone know what's the cause of this?

Screen flickering after 4.0.4 update

Hi!
I experienced flicker after the update. After an factory reset and an battery charge it was gone. Now there's none. Maybe not an easy fix but worked for me!

Grey background, white background, under lamp, in the dark. Depends, but if you don't have it or don't see it do not try to find it.
It's a big issue many threads, long threads, search but rather don't.

As i never had any flickering, i could presume it is very deep hardware fault and not a software issue, should be repaired by warranty

Uf lets do not get this down this road again....
Please do not mention hardware fault again....It has nothing to do with this matter....
It might be a hw fault, malfunction, etc. But the ota before this .11 fought against it. Meaning the flickering was minimal or gone for most of us.
Now the technical description I do not know. But in more informed threads there was written that the kernel needs time to adapt to make the flickering go away. And most ppl that had flicker pre .11 were helped in matter of hours or days.
So I believe the flickering will be gone also after some usage. Lets get back to this in few days.
And guys who have nothing better to do as to say, it might be a hardware issue, please dont. I would like if only ppl that know what the flickering is about would write in this thread.
So if you never had it, dont have it now. Please ignore this thread ok?
Thank you
Dont wanna sound arrogant or condescending Raider, but I had fights about this already in custom rom threads. I do not wanna go there again. Sorry.
Why we cant see guy problem s profile? 4 th guy with problem, but dont know his profile, I mean messeges.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod
So 10 days after the update, even though I had few reflashes, so maybe that doesnt help much, but still the flickering is still there.
Anyone else still has flickering now after a longer 4.0.4 usage and did it get better for some?
I had this before the update, then updated and waited 3 days on full brightness (i.read it has to settle with voltage or some stuff). Maybe you could try having it on full brightness? Not saying it will work & believe me, I understand your pain! Hope something works for you soon!
Keep us updated!

My HTC One X screen flickers only when on auto-brightness
Hi,
What do you mean exactly with 'screen-flicker' issues?
Different people use this description for some very different screen issues,
so I don't know if yours is severely bad or just minor...
I personally did experience some light screen flicker when the display is on auto-brightness,
the screen then has short periods where it quickly switches its brightness, and I assumed this
was normal because it's trying to adjust the brightness to the environment lighting.
This effect is easily noticed when scrolling the settings screen and is completely gone
when I deactivate auto-brightness.
maybe this can be helpful...

I have the same thing going on.. it's like the backlight voltage is going up and down real fast.. after reading tons of topics on this matter I guess a lot of you guys are experiencing it.. so where is the official statement from HTC that the update should take up to two weeks to work for the screen???

Just off with HTC after the update last week. (Stock phone not rooted) My One X has been freezing especially on Facebook and twice a day rebooting itself. Slight flickering when scrolling..All errors were logged. Soft reset and Hard reset carried out several times, but no improvement.
HTC have put a service call on it and collecting the phone Thursday.

Try flashing the RUU (this is the first thing HTC will do). It will wipe your phone, so back up. But test it before restoring.
Mine seems only to be flickering with Sense Launcher. No flickering with Nova Launcher. AND Nova is even smoother.

Can someone explain, what this flickering is? It's not similar to the 'Recent Apps'/Grey Colour is it?
I purchased a brand new HOX yesterday which had a screen flicker. The flicker was only noticed on white.
I turned the phone on and was pushed 3 software updates, one after another and thought that after the updates the screen flicker would be solved. I ended up with the 4.0.4 update and the screen flicker was still there. I did a full factory reset and the screen flicker seems to have gone.
I will keep my eye on it, because if needed I can return it for a replacement within 30 days.
Has a factory reset worked for anyone else after updating to 4.0.4?

Not that I know of. I mean that a factory reset helps.
After it was flickering for me. I decided to go and test a custom kernel. Before the only reason I couldn't go with a custom kernel was the flickering. Only on stock it didn't flicker for me.
So as it was flickering I tried faux again, and now I do not notice it anymore.
Maybe it needed time to settle, maybe the UV helped? Or that I shutdown the capacitive buttons lights? I do not know...
But it can also be the change of scenery. As I was before on another continent
you need to wait till the update settles...

[Q] Update caused slow camera start from lock screen and slow to turn on

After upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 I found that my phone won't switch on until I press the power button three times although sometimes it does switch on first go. Then, I installed the latest OTA patch to 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31 (international version) and found that accessing the camera from the lock screen, with security pattern enabled, is very slow. That is when you drag the camera to the unlock ring and release, the lock ring pauses for about 5 seconds before the camera starts up. This didn't happen before the last update.
So far I have taken the camera out of the unlock bar and rebooted the phone and turned off geo-tagging photos. None of these options helped.
If I turn off the pattern unlock then accessing the camera from the lock screen is normal so this appears to be something to do with accessing the camera with the pattern unlock enabled.
Hi,
I have encountered the same thing - seems like you're the only one who has reported it on these forums so far. I hadn't tried disabling the pattern unlock, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. But I'm quite unhappy about this new bug that just came out of nowhere with the 4.1 update, especially knowing that the camera quick start was one of the features HTC boasted about so much!
Yeah, not much on it at the moment but the upgrade is quite recent. Hopefully more people will find this thread and we can get some traction.
Same problem here, me and my wife. Wery annoing!

I emailed HTC and they replied the next day which was good. They asked me to reset the camera app, reboot the phone and then factory reset the phone if the other things didn't work. It didn't fix it yet so I'll see what they come up with next.

No factory resetting my phone didn't work. HTC rang me back and said that I need to return it to who I bought it from. In other words no fix and returning certainly won't prove anything. I think I'll just have to wait it out until it is fixed with another update ... hopefully.
Or maybe we should looking at getting an app that provides the same functionality?
Have te same bug guys :/

I tried the factory reset too, to no avail. Seems like disabling the phone lock is the only solution, but that's not really what I would call a satisfactory solution, since I'm using a VPN on my phone and that requires a lock + I just don't want to go lock-free.
We need this issue to be known to HTC and hopefully a fix will come.
Ps I don't think this problem was present in the JB update, but only came in the small FW update that followed.

Yeah it only came in the small update after the JB update. But another problem that I'm having is that to turn my phone on via the power button, sometimes I have to press the power button three times. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes after the phone has been off for a while, I hit it once and nothing, hit it again, nothing and then on the third press it comes on. I'm not sure if they are related to the "quick" camera launch problem.
One work around for this bug, if you use your camera a lot, is to leave your camera in standby mode. That is turn your phone off while the camera is active and then when you hit the power button it will go straight to camera. I don't use this myself as I have the lock pattern on to prevent my phone from turning on in my pocket which is common on HTC phones
HTC support are a waste of space
I have this issue too. HTC told me to factory reset it, then when that didn't work they told me to return it to the store to be sent away for repair. They really don't have a clue at HTC support.
The phone was returned to Vodafone yesterday and the repair centre said "no fault found" What are they on!!! The Vodafone store confirmed the issue was still there.
I now have the phone back with no resolution.
Going to call Consumer and get some advice.
I have this problem too, quite annoying.
