[Q] Replacement or no Replacement? Thats the question

I Recognized some little scratches on the Screen and Cameralense that can only be seen in the right angle and light. And some parts of the edges are chipped. Can this be a reason for a replacement?

Well, where did you get your device from?

Media Markt 2 days before release
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Oh :/
I asked because if you had bought it on Amazon, you would be able to replace the device in the first 30 days without a reason...
But I don't think MediaMark is going to replace your device, as scratches happen and aren't covered by warranty.
However, why don't you go to the mediamarkt and try?

I will try in 2 weeks when i am back home. If media Markt doesn't replace it HTC has to replace it?

Like I said, I don't think you'll get a replacement because of scratches, because it is no technical failure.

bulging on ONE X back

i dont know if its there when i bought the phone , but i noticed it 2 days back a small bulging just above HTC logo on back of the phone ...
i think it the heating part of phone ...
i tried to take some pics but cant get to see it ..
check if any body has it ...

That is odd..
The back of mine is completely flat/flush, even when I put a ruler against it, there is not the slightest bump.
I'd take it back to the shop and tell them about it!
I assume something has expanded, like the battery. Take it back before it's too late, as the last thing you want is it getting worse, or something to happen like the battery to suddenly stop working!
Edit:
Could you provide maybe a side-on shot so we can see how elevated it is? Like lay it face down on a table and take a photo of the side, and possibly hold something straight like a ruler, that way it'd be easier to see

I see it now, definitely nothing like that on my HOX. I highly recommend you take it back to the shop (if it's not too late) in case it could lead to something breaking.

Looks like the battery has some problems. I suggest not to.use it anymore just in case. If it is a battery problem, it could explode....

its bulging around this place marked on the pic ... what s that part ... processor?

@Op, horrible for you indeed,.
My suggestion, send it back for repair or replace.
Good luck!

Should do, if you bought the phone within the last 28 days or something. You'd get one on the spot I think.
If you are past that, it will probably be sent for repair and fixed or replaced.

Even I have a slight bulge on my htc one x it's hardly 20 days old. I think many are having this issue . Htc should replace our handsets

Definatley a replacement job, nothing like I've seen.
As stated before mine is completely flat.

I really suggest getting that thing replaced. If that has anything to do with the battery or the placement of the heat, it can be very dangerous. I've heard of batteries expanding and bursting. I really suggest getting rid of that phonw, and if it burst when your using it. You can have a serious burn on your hands. Good luck

This caused me to go crazy and test mine to see if it bulged! Luckily, I can thankfully conclude, it has not

Htc take note of this . And test it if it's a global problem or not . We've spent a fortune for this phone. Kindly replace all devices with the problem

Have you taken it to a service center? What did they say? Because I have the same problem here :\
And also, do you by any chance use a silicon case? Because (call me crazy, an idiot, a nonsensical airhead, whatever) I suspect that it might have something to do with it

device not dead yet ... the dude is still rolling ...

Online repairs

Anyone know of a reputable online repair service?
Insurance refusing to pay out, repair is my only option. Screen and Digitizer both smashed.
Thanks.

These people are very reputable. But sure about their prices though. The last phone they repaired for me was a cheap Nokia.

You could send it to HTC and have them repair it? At least you know its legitimate.

one of my customers said he used taxi-logistics to have his phones repaired, might be worth giving them a call - they seem to specialise in htc equipment, it doesn't specifically say about hox, but worth a try!

Have you looked at replacing yourself just find the right parts and look for a video on YouTube simple

HTC One Housing

My dog chewed my front htc one housing n e clue what to do - Also friends I have a HTC One Dev Group on whats app - Anyone wants to join just pm me ur number - Cheers !!

There are spare housing elements on ebay and etradesupply. A full housing set is around 40 USD. You will need some skills to replace it yourself though.
// sent from my phone //

Pics? Just wanna see the damage, I HAVE two dogs and I'm terrified when their around my phone.
P.s. yup, get it from etradesupply. Plus there is a thread around here somewhere about instructions on disassembly and reassembly.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.

I'm going to tell you right now its probably better to leave it how it is as long as its functional. It takes a lot of time and effort for this repair here is a guide for it I wish you the best of luck.( http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1)

Dunno how true ifixit really is to be honest. Someone here repaired their HTC One just fine (search for the post) and I was able to open up my Surface Pro pretty easily as well even though ifixit gave it the lowest possible rating.

Even if they did you can't say its anywhere near as easy as the galaxy s4 or s3. The phone is not meant to be pulled apart that's one of the reason for the uniebody design. I will say most of there guides that I have followed has never told me wrong and are extremely informative. The whole point of me posting it is just to show op what he's in for.

Actually HTC has their own tool for opening the One which makes it easier. I recommend giving it to an HTC repair center and pay the price :/

Transform HTC One Silver (VZW) to HTC One Black

Anyone know how I can change a HTC One Silver to Black for VZW? I see they have back housings in black on eBay, but do they have a front? Is it fairly difficult to do? I'm not looking for a skin. I really love the black HTC One. Its a shame VZW didn't get it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The HTC One has a unibody enclosure. I think it's safe to say that it's impossible unless you plan on gutting the phone.

You might as well hit the phone with a hammer. This phones got the lowest repair score of any phone. A 1... Is almost impossible to take it appart without damaging it in some way.

it requires a special tool to take it apart. but if they want to change the front and back of the phone, they will need to replace the screen as its 1 piece for the whole front so this means wreak the LCD anyways.

it's not going to be a "cheap" color change and you're better off not doing it unless you want to spend the money.

Anyone spends money how they think is necessary/ appropriate, but this phone is simply not designed to be taken apart and attempting to disassemble seems absurd. Money wise makes no sense, you need to buy the back first, and then you need to buy and replace the whole front end... Then you run the risk of completely breaking the device. Oh and not counting that your warranty is completely voided... Seriously. Makes no sense at all. Sell the phone and get a phone with the color you want.

agreed, spray paint or even a vinyl would be a "safer" alternative.

Easiest way would be to look @ your phone through very dark glasses.

Opening the phone will also void your warranty. Just get yourself a nice case in the color you want. It will be MUCH less hassle.

good luck!

Look, TMO doesn't offer black either. So I ordered a black TPU case. It covers up just about the entire phone. Most people seeing me use the phone would think it is black with silver highlights. I'd do that for $10 before I'd attempt to swap out the housing.
Good luck!

What if you housing is already really messed up with scratches dings and all that could you replace it then

You should buy one of the skin kits that makes it look black.

There are many companies that makes skins so search for a good one or kind you like.
