Morning all.
I have received a brand new HTC One X and when I turned it on, it said it needed to do a software update, so I hooked up the wifi (no issues there at the moment) and it started the download.
I left my phone to it but when I came back it had a black screen except for a logo in the middle of a green down arrow with 2 green arrows making a circle around it.
It has been like that for a good half hour now, and pressing buttons doesn't seem to do anything.
Any advice on what I should try next?

Hi Dudes,
I replaced my HTC One X today with a new one because the gsensor failed for some unknown reason. Anyway I got home and started re installing all my apps, then did the 28 software update and restarted. Its then that I noticed a yellow streak on the left hand side of the screen. It almost looks like glue or a screen bleed, you can really see it on a white background or a grey background but also
Im unsure If i should see if it is glue and maybe it just needs to dry out by using the phone a lot for the next week or replacing it yet again.... Im starting to loose patience with the One X now.
Has anyone else had this green streak issue and is it normal?
Should I turn the brightness up to make for an hour and leave the screen running?
My old HTC Desire was more reliable than this....

Is it glue or something mate? Its odd.
Looks like everything else on the ONE X is working great now though. (touch wood)
Screen seems as excellent as ever. Just the yellow smear/streak.
Will leave it a few days and see what happens man.
in many discussion about this problem, peoples think that problem with glue.
And can appear when phone get hot.
not saw it on my phone when playing in terga games + charging in same time.
but my phone goes to me 2 week, may be glue well dried before was used

My phone heats up fine and no other yellow streaks appear (its not a spot but a streak). Its constantly there also. Will see how it goes in the next few days.
I ment to say that this yellow smear is allways on the screen but no more seem to appear when it heats up. I hope it goes away. Has anyone else had this small yellow smear issue on the screen?
I got home and started re installing all my apps, then did the 28 software update and restarted. Its then that I noticed a yellow streak on the left hand side of the screen - It happends exactly the same to me , and what did i do was going back my phone today , and seller says that I don't believe it will disappear and gave me the new one , I'm happy with my new phone but it's grey , not beautiful white :/ , if u are able to return it , just go to return
I just replaced my screen and digitizer, fairly simple and straight forward.
On bottling up the first time with the new screen the phone powered up and was green. Looked like night vision. I powered it down, opened it back up hoping I goofed a connection. There are only two connections to make so I undid and redid. Fired back up the phone and it booted almost normal, it started green but then faded back to normal. On any subsequent display off and back on it will start green and then go normal. The longer the display is off the Longer it takes fr the green to fade away.
So my question is, did I get a bad replacement or did I good something up? I waited 3 weeks for this to come from China and at $150 I don't want to just run out and get another one.
Thoughts?

I have had the exact same thing happening to me. I have tried basically everything on the software side, going back and forth between rom/radio/kernel/bootloader with no luck. Tested the screen with a color tuner and it appears that there are no RED as of the RGB. So i have concluded this to be a faulty screen.
I am planning on doing a second screen replacement, so just hold on and i will post you with an update of how it went. Ordered the screen today, so guessing it will arrive in two weeks time.

The thing with mine is that it turns to normal after 30-40 seconds, as if it has to warm up.

Did you get this green color after a screen replacement? In my case it was a bad screen, so a new replacement did the trick.
I have a friend's bone stock incredible 2 and it "totally quit working" on him. "Wen't black and never came back to life."
It has been dropped in a toilet before (clean... haha! Or so he says...) but he pulled the battery as quickly as he could, let it dry out for a few days, and said it worked fine for quite a long time after that. And then it just "quit" one day.
He has a replacement but he says he would like to get his Incredible back.
I told him I would see if there was anything I could do since I'm the "tech guy" around our group of friends.
I plugged in the phone and it does take a charge. After the light turned green indicating full charge, I unplugged the phone and tried to turn it on...
NOTHING.
I read how to boot into fast boot mode and found that you hold the volume down + power buttons at the same time.
When I do this, the phone flashes, very briefly, the fastboot menu screen and then goes black.
If I continue to hold the volume down + power buttons, the fastboot screen will briefly flash about every three seconds.
It flashes so quick that I cannot read any of the options but can see the word flashboot outlined in blue.
Does anybody have any suggestions that I should try before telling my buddy his phone is forever dead?
Much appreciation in advance!!!
That all sounds like bad hardware buddy, maybe replace the digitizer? Wild shot in the dark from me

I was thinking it was probably hardware related myself. As for the digitizer... Maybe? Who knows? Maybe there'e more to "it just quit working" than my friend is telling me? It would be fairly inexpensive and somewhat easy fix if it were the digitizer. I have replaced digitizers on multiple types of devices.
I'll probably just look up the price of one on eBay and let my buddy know how much they are with a disclaimer that there is absolutely no guarantee that a new digitizer will fix the problem.
Thanks
I was at a party and had my phone in my clothes since i didn' have a pocket for it..
It was working fine, came to hotel few hours later and i saw that on my lower part off my screen had a different colour, liiiiiiittle darker just like fog. But it worked perfect...
Then i was going to sleep, i rebootet my phone and had it on charge, the problem was that my phone didn't start again...
I had it on charge the entire night without any red or green lamps showing on.. I came home yesterday and since then i tried with rice, and i tried have it in the fridge and i tried charge it through PC and regular... Nothing is working.... What can be wrong? And what should i do....???
My HTC ONE X is rooted with this rom: Android Revolution HD 18.1
Edit:
I can not do ANYTHING, not even vol- +power...
I turned in my phone today and they said that it is PROBABLY moist that has been casing this.... Fkk, i don't like that...
Well, i was hoping that someone here would answer me and maybe know a trick but like i said i turned it in for service and hopefully i will have it back before the end of March .... Untill then i am using one of my VERY old abd broken Nokia N85, it's really sucky to downgrade like that, damn! Hahaha:cyclops:
Probably a hardware fault my friend. Its strange that a moist would penetrate the tiny little gaps on the corner. I did accidentally splash water to my phone but nothing happened and still working fine till now.:good:

Thank you for your answer!! =)
Well, since i turned it in i hope that you are right...
My question is then... i have rooted my phone and using custom rom.. Is is still on warranty??
So I've been reading a lot of forums but I can't seem to get things to work. My friend recently gave me his old HTC one x to mess around with. He hasn't used it in like a year and a half, because about a year and a half ago, his phone randomly cut off while he was using it and it wouldn't cut back on.
He's not the kind of person who roots or messes around with the phone so its stock.
I am getting NO led light when its on the charger. I've tried holding the power button forever. I've tried the power + vol down combo. Currently I'm leaving it on the charger for like four days to see if that fixes it.
Anyone have any other ideas before I open up the phone?

A new battery to begin with...if there is no visible damage to the motherboard. Like condensation, oxidation etc

Same thing happend with my One X too.. I have been using it, one day it went off and never turned on again.
No charging sign, no action on power buttons/volume.
I have tried with battery replacement too, but no luck. Unfortunately the battery tricky in HTC One X (handle with care).
If it worked in any sense, please leave your steps to fix it.

I took it apart and got it to charge and cut on for a little bit but I noticed one of the ribbons looked awfully brown as if it had been fried. I'm assuming that's the problem in most of these
