2 days ago i received my htc one X,
the day i received it i was as (everyone would be) very happy and proud..
so i charged it and went to work (with my charged phone).
my phone was just laying around in my pocket (with nothing else in my pocket.. just the phone),
no buttons or anything else in or aroud the pocket, just the phone
and the soft inside of my pocket..
my htc wildfire s (without its beautifull gorilla glass) has atleast been in there (scratchless) for 6 months.
Because the ONE x has Gorilla glass II i thought, oh it wont scratch..
if im very gentle today, i can take it with me.. just be sure my pocket is completely empty (i turned it inside out, every bit of dirt / fluff that was in my pocket has been taken out of there)
and as you probably could've guessed.. not one, but TWO scratches..
one of them is pretty visible, and im very, very sure nothing but the phone was in my pocket!!
does anyone else have the same problem?
im really thinking about insuring my phone if i see how fast it scratches!
i was really gentle to my phone (like you are the first 5 weeks),
putting it very softly in my pocket, insuring nothing was in there..
not even some lose fluff from my pocket!!
Are you sure that one of this metal buttons dont scratch it?

Try to cut your nails Or maybe a ring on your hand ... or you dont get this scratches in your pocket ...
I had the same problem so I bought a screenprotector. I also insured my phone and took a case of suede to protect my phone, just to be sure
The screen is described as scratch resistant, not scratch proof, similar to water resistant and water proof. I didn't have a screen protector on my xe but still got two small scratches from an empty and clean pocket. Not repeating the same thing with my one x.

The label says you can't sit down with the touch pro 2 in your pocket... do they mean back pocket? I always kept my Kaiser in my pocket, just a bit paranoid about cracking the screen.
I'd say ANY pocket, to be safe, so I use a belt pouch
LOL
Hahaha!
Sorry I coudnt avoid to laugh
I have an Universal and its imposible to forget you have it on your pocket with that super size!!
I wonder if HTC have to make a special device: Now you can sit on yout HTC... and it will mold to your butt
Just joking...

righto belt clip it is! Dug out my old Kaiser one which fits nicely
Mine goes in my pocket, and so far so good. Left front pocket to be precise. Actually all of my phones have gone in my pocket without mishap, Just remember to put your change/keys in the other one

Mine goes in the same pocket, along with my keys. No cracked screens to date. A few severe scratches, but it's a phone. It's not like I'm entering it into a beauty competition!
i agree with the 2 above - except i also tend to keep only the phone in the same front pocket and keys in the other to avoid severe scratches. eventho it's not going to enter a beauty competition, i'd like it to atlease have a descent screen in a year or more since it's a €600 phone... the pouch that came with the phone has been used once - it simply is too much of a hassle to use it every time
Thanks for the input! I've always kept my phone in one pocket (screen facing inwards) and keys in the other, wasn't too keen on using the pouch.
Have any of you put the screen protector on? I just noticed that they gave me one but not too sure how it's supposed to stay in place
the first thing i did after unboxing the tp2 was to attach the screen protector. it'll just keep the scratches to a minimum and make sure the screen is kept well for as long as possible
I hate screen protectors (now). I have always used them but not on my TP 2. Why mess up that glorious screen with some cheap plastic that has bubbles and collects grease? I always use the pouch, it keeps the device scratch free. I put the phone in the pouch, then in goes into my front left pocket on its own, nothing elses goes into that pocket.
I ALWAYS have a screen protector on my phones. I don't mind the odd scratch on the sides, but I have paid a lot of money to be able to read the screen and I don't like to take chances
I broke the glass behind the bezel and in front of my camera. I've checked everywhere I can think of and can't find it. Does anyone know where I can find one?
I thought the glass was part of thw bezel?
Nope. If it was, all the ebay stuff would work. Unfortunately, no glass included. One more post and I can finally start helping in the dev section! By way of rigorously testing the roms and reporting every little issue

I tried googling for it but could only find the bezel. Your best bet would probably be to find broken inc phone cheap (good glass of course), and take the glass out of it and put it in yours. You could probably get it direct from htc, but who knows what they would charge you.
Back in August the entire glass element AND the bezel wouldn't stay on the phone, so I had to replace the entire back housing just for the lens.

Then a couple months after that, I dropped it from about 3 feet while sitting on a chair and cracked the lens. Been like that since, but it doesn't affect the photos as far as I can tell. Unless the sunlight is hitting it at just the right angle.
Also replaced the speaker 3 times, until I found out I can just use a magnet to pull metal shavings off of it
And yet, I've never broken the glass. It's been dropped off the top of my truck (long way down), dropped in a pool w/100% submersion, and fell out of my pocket while on an ATV and run over. Soft ground saved it there as it was able to sink in. Never had a case either.

do you have a place called "tap plastics" in your town? they can make you an acrylic one that will work. http://www.tapplastics.com/ they just need the dims and thinkness of the glass used to be. or take it in to them. shouldnt cost to much.

The same thing happened to my camera lens too but i cant tell any difference when taking photos.
My one x fallen today from my desk on a wooden floor right on its screen...
Is it built to avoid internal damage from such crashes?
Yeah, it'll be fine... Biggest worry is always the screen smashing.
I would assume that if the screen is fine, then the internals are fine. There are not many moving parts appart from the vibrator so it should be fine

Well screen perfectly handled it ^_^ physically internal build you say well sheilded from such things?
One more thing i noticed and unsure if i had it before.... The top of the screen got such like cut artifact like part of the picture cuts (like in bad frame sync games on pc) delay behind.... im on paranoid rom jb with custom kernel tripndtoid which i installed few hours ago....could it be the gpu drivere in this kernel?
There's a video on Youtube of a guy doing a drop test. He basically drops it from various heights onto concrete. Although the screen eventually cracks from a face down hit, it continues to work fine. I wouldn't be too worried
So no worries from drop .... Thanms
graphical artifacts (while sliding the top side of the screen was like cutting it self) its gone now after installined re-packed faux.
Dont worry about it. I have opened my HOX several times and things are pretty tight inside.

Good to know.... the press guy at HTC i think mentioned that they built ONE X to be "hard to break" phone... and used some special plastic which knows to avoid stress and internal damages... but hopefully this engineering also smart to avoid internal damages when it falls right on the face (screen) hehe... think so?
Whenever someone mentions possible damage to their one x, it makes me cringe! Hope its all good for you

Like others have said, if the screen is fine then internals should be fine too. The biggest risk of dropping the One X is breaking its' screen. That is why I use a thin TPU case, with a small lip around the bezel which prevents the screen touching any flat surfaces. It should protect the screen from small drops. And I also don’t have to worry much about placing it face down on a hard surface. Unless you are one of those people who absolutely hate having a case, I highly recommend using one.
The case I use looks pretty decent, better than most other TPU cases out there. The texture on it's back closely resembles the feel and look of the polycarbonate back. It also prevents the camera lens touching the table when rested on its' back. Here are couple of photos of it:

Once a HOX is dropped face down it will trigger an internal self destruct mechanism and will burst in flames in exactly 72 hours.

Damn!!! I should stay away from it to not get hurt?
Gorilla Glass this, Gorilla Glass that. I kept hearing how amazing this glass is and how much it can handle.
This morning, I accidentally dropped my HTC One X around 3 feet off the ground onto concrete and smashed the display pretty bad. Unlike other smashed displays I've seen, this is broken all the way through. Small shards broke off and you can very clearly feel the cracks and feel like they're about to cut you if you press any harder! See attached files for shots of the phone.

So now my question: What's the process of fixing this? Is it just the top glass that needs to be replaced or do I need to replace the display too? Is there an official place I can order the parts or should I just get them from eBay?

wow, almost what happened to mine.
it got under a bus... gorilla glass sucks.
they should be using bulletproof glass since i dont get shot very often...
I think that you made a bad choice buying an HOX.
You should try this: http://bit.ly/N4Nvic
Anyway... i never understood how one could drop a phone so expensive like these. I dont think its a gorilla glass fault, instead a bad handling or very very bad luck.
I had 6 different phones in all my life, and never dropped/slipped one out of my hand. I´m always very carefull with them.
Sorry for your loss dude. Hope you dont take offense for the upper joke.
You do know Gorilla Glass is scratch resistive, not crack proof?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
That is bad luck i think. Last wednesday, my phone felt out of my hand wen i was cycling. It smashed hard on the ground. But rarely no damage on the screen. Only the white cover was damaged. I have to thank god for that
Good luck with your repair.

talking about scratches, my HOX screen has some scratches on it. Not some tiny ones but, the ones which you can see with your own eyes, no mag.glass needed.
I have HTC DZ and it has been in pocket with keys and everything else, and no scratches on it, but HOX is another story. Dont even know how i got the scratches on screen.
Anyone else had this problem with so called "gorilla glass"?

a friend of mine had an Htc Desire also, and now an Htc One S. He complains of the same exact thing! is S got scratched even wearing a protective purse after 2 or 3 weeks and the Desire was used for almost 2 years and directly on his pocket and got nothing.
Dropped mine 2ft on a pile of hangers in a changing room, all mighty crash, it fell face down, fortunately got just a very small chip on the side - phewww

There have been a few posts about the "inner" screen breaking whilst the phone is in a pocket. IE That the screen is somehow deficient.
Did your screen crack in a way that you think isn't your fault?
Check in here.
I'm thinking this can be a poll type thing, without comments other than the details. There are plenty of other threads discussing the different aspects of this.
I always keep mine in my front jeans pocket and am nervous about this whole thing. Especially if no is going to warranty for this.
Again lets not devolve into a pros and cons. Just the facts please.

Mine cracked
I cracked the LCD under the gorilla glass of my TMo S4 while it was in my pocket with nothing else in my pocket. There were no cracks on the gorilla glass and it was in a protective case. I took it into the TMo store and the lady was nice enough to warranty it for me as long as I agreed she didn't see any cracks (battery was dead). She said however that it is likely they will charge me $150 after they discover the damage, which could take a couple months. That option sounded better than buying another S4 outright and it was cheaper than the $175 deductible for insurance.
So I would say, be very careful not to apply pressure to the screen. It would appear to me that they've slimmed down the phone at the sacrifice of pressure resistance, especially since my S2 is still kicking and sat a couple years in my pocket.
Cheers!

Right here with you. I posted a thread about this a while back. mine developed a hairline crack in less than 2 weeks. I still don't know how it happened, as my phone was never dropped either.
Mine has what looks like a (curved) line that goes from upper right corner to the bottom left one. But the glass is smooth and you don't feel any scratch from outside. I m pretty sure I bought it like that as I saw it during my 1st inspection of the phone (few days after purchase)
Is it cracked/scratched from inside and should I ask for replacement ? (I still have 2 days to return the phone)
