[TIP]Prevent heating OneX - HTC One X

Just to let others know I use several frozen gel packs which when I am using my OneX for hardcore gaming I place the gel backs under the phone to keep it cool. Anyone else do this?

Heat + cold = condensation...not a good idea.

Dave is right...This practice of yours will damage your phone on the long run. If your phone regularly reaches temperatures above 50 degrees celcius, you should consider returning cause faultu hardware might be the culprit behibd your overheating issues.

Gel packs? Eh? My phone gets warm when playing games but I deal with it. My ipad3 gets crazy hot but nothing bad comes of it. I have faith in htc.. If it gets hot then find but I shouldn't have to worry about it getting hot and it possibly overheating

Actually for Laptops Thermapak has a Heatsuit which aborts the heat and keep it cool. I wish we have one for our One X,. It actually works pretty well.

On my HOX the battery health says "Overheated" after gaming for like 20 mins

I think the most useful cooling tool is the fan...
but maybe the air conditioner is great...

true there can be condensation but I've been using gel packs for about 2 years, always on my sensation when gaming at home, desire hd as well as now the one x, never had issues. cooling fan is one idea but the gel packs are awesome. you can buy portable cooling units that are designed for phones albeit more expensive

Flashing notification light

Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.
I think it only happens when I have the charger plugged in. Anyone know what it is? And if its any help, I'm running leedroids Rom.

I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

Generally, those two circumstances tend to occur simultaneously!

Yup! Do NOT play games while charging...it is a sure way of pushing the thermal limits!

No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v
If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug

oh so its not overheating?
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.

Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.

I used my touchpad’s charger which is a 2A charger and it charges twice the speed. So you can try using any tablet's charger for a fast charge..

Dropped my HOX and now weird sound

I dropped my HOX from 3 feet and now when I shake I am hearing tick tick sound inside the phone. Is there any chance to get damage.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Sounds like its about to blow up!!!!
Somethings been knocked loose from the fall, God knows what. Hopefully its nothing that will affect the usage / performance of the phone. Give it a week and see.
tick-tick near camera ?
i think... those sounds its already there since first time you unboxed
Can any one shake the phone well both up and down and left and right and say whether you hear a small.sound inside it.

Thanks for the reply guys . You made my day and I am worried that I broked my phone as i had dropped . And it falls horizontal hitting the screen down. And for gods shake there is no scratch . And now I am confirmed that the sound was normal and every one has it.

I think they all have a rattle... I think its a movement sensor of sort..

Yep mine makes a slight ticking sound too when I shake it. I've dropped it twice now from about 2 feet. Once was on carpet and the second time i was sitting on a Sofa and it fell on a laminated floor.
Even my old HTC Desire had that. It's part of the camera mechanism.
Is there possible to do any other test and make sure my HOX is undamaged.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
It's the shutter
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thats true, it could be the camera shutter making the sound. You can usually hear the shutter when you open and close the camera app!
Maybe do a full sensor test to make sure they're all working? Not sure how to do this though, its got to be some where in the Settings Menu?
Don't worry its normal
Edit: you can test your device hardware by dailing *#*#3424#*#* just to make sure there no damage

Bent HTC One x...

This is what happens when you sit on a wall with your one x in your back pocket...
This physically made me cry my heart out for about an hour.
The worst part... I got my otterbox case the following morning.. I hate myself for putting it in my back pocket. Forgive me for hurting you my beautiful One x, I am sorry.

Well what you can do now is making money out of spare parts that are still intact.
Like someone here searches for some GSM cable. Someone needed some even smaller part. etc.
Just change the thread into "Selling spare parts out of my bent htc one x"
Sleek, slim, and light weight breaks.
This doesn't.
Personally, I'd rather take my chances with sleek, slim, and light weight.

Nah, just for the construction industry. It's a great idea though for people than need a heavy duty phone. Can you imagine a One X or SGS3 on a job site?
"The Caterpillar CAT B10 is expected to retail for $500 off-contract when it lands at the end of May. We don’t think it will come with matching accessories, such as helmets and gloves, though."

I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I'm guessing that a larger area + lighter materials + less depth + less reinforcement + edge-to-edge glass = tons more broken phones. The latter is causing SGS3's to drop like flies.
Holy geezus!
Oh man that sucks.

Have you tried turning it off and back on?
J/k. Sorry. I know that feeling
did you transform into the Hulk and your phone broke like that? damn boy you must have a concrete ass
on a serious note ouch buddy i had to cover my One X eyes so it doesn't see that and has nightmares.. poor thing would start shivering if it could
TBH I was disappointed when HTC decided not to have an Aluminium shell on the One X, my old Desire HD was a lot more rugged. I bet it would of still worked in this situation
Oh damn, that picture hurts my eyes and my heart. :crying:

[Q] Has anyone noticed a hump on One X's back?

The title is self explanatory but has anyone noticed a hump one One X's back, one centimeter above the HTC logo? The hump is is barely noticeable (probably less than 0,5mm, I can't even take a picture to show it) but I can feel it. I'm a bit afraid because it's more or less where the battery's top end is located.
Yes. I have that little unnoticeable hump as well just right above the "HTC" name.
I think its normal.
Swagged out of my love, HTC One X
.......Feeling Fly on maXimus Rom.......
Yes. Mine has it. It's due to the heat
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
i have that too
hi
nope not me just checked on reading this thread mine is totally flat no hump what so ever above or below the back HTC marking:good::laugh:
The Tegra 3 chipset is located below the camera sensor.. (below the HOX ring) As you know Tegra 3 is a QuadCore processor and gets heated up so fast.. (compared to other processors) So the hump can be mostly associated with the heat produced by the chip as it moulds the polycarbonate back casing..

Actually, it isn't that above. It's between the HTC logo and the usb port. If you look to the phone insides, it is exactly where the battery ends. My Desire battery expanded a bit on that spot, so I guess it can be related to that.

Yup! I have that hump too. It's more pronounced when the phone is hot. It's soft too.
It bends as it get heated therefore showing the contour of the internal. The 'hump' is actually the top edge of the battery.

No hump on my 7months old one x despite how I overheat it the hell out of it
It seems it is rather common. And since the hump is so slight, most people won't actually notice it.

Yeah that's cuz of overheating... Polycarbonated back moulds up when it heats...even when you'll press the hump you'll feel a blank space....

Your phone is pregnant. You'll have a little baby HTC One.5 X soon.

Fast overheating + cameralens loose

When my one X is charging on textile like a pillow or sth it heats up like crazy. Anyone with the same problem?
Also my lens looks like it is gonna give up on me any day now..
I always take great care of my phone, before this one had a hd2 had it for 3 year, not a single scratch. I hate the cheap ass build quality.
I won't buy a dumb plastic piece of sh.. anymore. HTC please, for your next phones, use aluminium.
I wonder, can the heating problems be fixed?

Well, y'know, you could put it on something thermally conductive rather than a thermal insulator.
