just got the phone. - HTC One V

hi everone, i'm new here, just got the phone two days ago.
like it alot so far , do have 2 little yellow spots at the bottom of the screen, but if they dont get any worse their too little for me to get them repaired, i dont notice them at all anyways except for when i go looking for them .
do hope that the development will start going a bit faster soon, since i was a rom flashing addict with my last phone .
hope to have a good time here in these forums and see you all later,

Cool! Regarding the yellow spots, can you post some pics? I have no problem with my phone but I just wanted to get an idea of what to look out for.

i dont have a camera at hand at the moment, besides the one on the phone but that's obviously useless for this purpose, but their just like little yellow circles.

One of the causes of yellow spots can be a related to screen adhesive.
They say that if you turn your display to maximum brightness, the glue is melting and the spots eventually disappear.

Good luck with getting a bug free HOX. It's a lottery at this stage to get a reliable unit.
I will get mine in the coming 2 weeks, I hope the new bach will be clean

620$ wanna bet they won't let you return if it flexes condition the new price!
ill sell min then asap, still i advice you to hold, i think the flex issue is global its just no showing for everyone, for those who don't mind its a not a real disaster to be honest
still a revised built phone is better either way
No problems with my one x! Loving this thing, seriously!

i wouldn't care about screen flex, i don't press that hard on the screen xD
but that screen flicker now really pisses me off more and more
it's even on my lockscreen now!
i wait a bit longer to see what happens. probably HTC confirms exactly this problem or it gets even fixed (i don't believe it's a software problem though)
but i'll bring back the phone in one or two weeks.. :/

Could someone please describe what the screen flicker means?
I don't have any of the hardware issues but I do have one problem. On very low brightness when I scroll in apps (like when reading an article in pulse) i get a very faint change in the brightness of the screen. It's like it goes a litter dimmer and then gets bright again. Happens everytime I scroll at low brightness. Is this the screen flicker people talk about?
I also get a few jagged lines on the screen, but that happens *VERY* rarely. I don't even know a way of reproducing them.
Would you say I have a faulty set? Or is mine fine and these issues should be fixed by an update. I'm still on 1.26. 1.28 hasn't yet rolled out in India.

our screen flicker is really when the backlight is flashing very fast, mostly in grey areas of the screen. best you see it when viewing the standard picture in the "camera shots" folder, the one with the snowplains and the sun.
my screen flickers like crazy there around the sun.
if you have it, you will notice it there
Enjoy it while it lasts - within a few weeks things will start to fall apart - the G-sensor is usually the first to go...

the only thing wich fails is the screen, wich will flicker after some use. this will somehow get fix'd, doesn't matter if it's software sided or hardware
if it's software sided we will get a fix, else we can all exchange our device for a non flickering one..
but the gsensor? no problems here..

I wish everyone would make a post like this in General before they buy one so that we can really turn this section into a clusterfuck of pointless topics.
as per the poll on the Q&A section goes, it looks pretty grim - 1 outta 3 have complained that their devices have flickering problems - imho the number will worsen with time as maybe not all of them have started heavily using the device and this issue seems to show up later on.
So - i would suggest not to buy it. I was going through the same confusion as you.
- and this thread should have been in the Q&A section as made obvious by the above poster
No problems
I have had one for a while now. It's on rooted t-mobile uk firmware, but I haven't had any problems. It's a nice thin phone with battery life a bit better than my desire had.

my first one had a dead pixel, little green dot only visible on black had no other issues, got a replacement and it's perfect; no yellow dot,screen flicker, flexing screen and so on.
If you get a good one then yes, it's a great phone for sure. Unfortunately I am waiting to get my 4th replacement on Monday.
Buying one now? Personally, if I knew what I know now, I'd probably wait a month until they have had chance to get through the initial stocks and fix the issues and get a software update out. Up to you though, if you go for it, hope you get a good one
I'd wait if iwas you. Htc really need to sort out the faulty units. Theres far to many of them!
Yea i'd wait a bit longer until they solve the problem because theres definitely a problem
My One X was just delivered via Fedex. I will be honest and tell you that I am a little worried.
Yes, I would get it beast phone

I've not had any of these so called faults. Screen is good, no flicker, no yellow, no lines. Battery life is as good as I expected for a huge screen, signal is better now after the 1.28 software upgrade.
Very happy.
I would suggest getting a sim free handset though rather than one branded by a network so any future updates you will get quicker.

HTC warranty service is a pain in the ass too.........guy I talked to was an idiot
Talked to him about screen flickering and battery problems, didn't sound like he cared one bit.
He put me on hold to figure out what to do I'm assuming and was just like......is the screen hot? I'm like uh yea, it hit 60 degrees celsius. He told me I was charging the battery wrong and it would lead to all these problems. In my head I was like wtf? is this guy on crack? He told me to refer to the manual and charge the lithium ion battery according to that. If I still had problems I would have to send it in to an HTC repair and wait 2-3 weeks.....**** that, he didn't even address the screen flickering.
Would I be able to get a full replacement from them instead of having to send it in for repair?

when i had a dead pixel i just took it back to o2 they gave me a new one on the spot , but they will most likely just replace it and still take 2-3 weeks.
I miss mine! Had to return it due to a weird screen surface issue
And to answer your question: Hell yeah! Buy it! I love it and I am confident that with updates and support from HTC and out Devs this phone will be a monster as it was meant to be.

HTC One X - HTC's New Hero Device! Mega Information Thread
I had a HOx for a few weeks and he has valid points. I showed friends the pictures I took with the HOX and they all said my HTC Incredible S took better pictures than the HOX. It was on latest 1.29 firmware.
And not only the videos are choppy, the whole UI experience is choppy, like 20fps. It is really depressed to see that the hava a full GPU, quad core power and android 4 and STILL aren't able to manage a smooth scrollinge experience (like iphone scrolling). And I know people see this but choose to ignore it, game menus scroll smooth but the actual OS lags...
edit: I had 3 HOXes, the all act the same (hardware issues ignored)

But to sum at that huge thread, I'd say it like this;
If you get a fault-free one, it's a fantastic phone.
BUT....your chances of getting a fault-free phone are much less than they should be.
If you want to take part in the HTC One X crap-shoot, please be prepared to pursue HTC with warranty returns until they get it right. Do not unlock bootloader until you are happy with it!

From my experience with sgs2, we had plenty of complaints about it. but boy the complaints list on this HOX are by far more.

thx for ur reply m8, how is there batch date, or serial sequence to decide the goodness of the device? I want to check before taking it home
I didn't feel like listening to 15 minutes "whining" but compared to the sgs2 I got when it was out the hox actually already is pretty good, battery life is as good as the sgs2 after a year, no screen defects/flickering. I only have one issue though it could be considered quite a big issue and I really hope it's a software issue and it is that the sim card isn't recognised anymore and consequently the hox stops working as a phone until I reenter the pin
all in all, The HOX is bit of hit an miss. am I right ?
No, it's the best (smart)phone I ever had, I love this phone much more even than my Desire.

The One X is a fantastic device and you're MUCH more likely to get a working version than a faulty one. The only reason it LOOKS like there are loads of faulty ones is because people who have a fully functional, working device don't start threads complaining about it
There's a poll on here comparing how many people have a working one against those who have a faulty one and guess which came out on top by quite a considerable margin... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082&highlight=poll
Also, as this is a developers forum, people who have faulty devices are going to stumble across devices to try and find a fix. The problems aren't any way near as widespread as it seems.
Of course, defective devices shouldn't be reaching customers at all, but there's nothing you can do about that I'm afraid
No, its worse then that ... there are people reporting stranger lies
After optimising and disabling some apps that were sucking my battery down (which was my main gripe about this phone) I am more than happy with the HOX. The camera is sweet, games/emu's run great and the screen (even on 25% brightness) pops out. Well worth a purchase.
you can not go wrong with this phone mate. best option is to find a store close by to you which you can go and check the phone for yourself before taking it away with you. explain your fears to the sales assistant and see what they say and if they let you inspect it. but anyways if you get a perfect one you are in business and you could not ask for a better phone. i really hope development picks up more in our forums as this deserves nothing but the best.
s3 is another top handset but i feel there is more to the one x. development for the s3 will be huge. but think about this.
you are using Touchwiz and you are thinking man this is ugly. you want to change it but you get fed up with the launchers as well. you wish you could try sense but you can not as it is hard to port to a sammy phone and second no one has done that. were on the One X not only you have sense but we have now cm9 and you can use Touchwiz launcher as well. so you are getting yourself a beast of a phone mate

I think some people have good luck and some have bad. I've had mine for more than a week and it's perfect. However, I've accompanied someone to collect a replacement for a faulty unit. Guess what, went back home to charge and the red light is not showing on the replacement unit. I've also heard a lot of complaints ranging from battery not charging, unit not turning on, squeaky phone edges.
If quality control doesn't improve soon, and with all the SG3 hype, One X might find itself sliding down a slippery slope.

Had One X more than couple of weeks? No problems?

Hi,
I know there are number of threads about the problems of HTC One X and sorry for creating another one.
But I want to know about people who has been using it for more than couple of weeks (because this problem comes after using it for a while) and have not had the wifi issue.
So if you have been using it for more than couple of weeks, could you please share your wifi experience and also the phone version number, which is the first five digits of the serial number (HTxx, SHxx), so we can see if this is a problem only found in earlier stock and whether HTC has fixed the problem
Update: I added a poll. If you can vote your choice we can all see how much of the HOX is actually giving problems.
Thank you.
Had my first one for 3 weeks before a yellow spot appeared and I had to return it. Wifi and everything else was fine. HT24.

I have the HT23 (since the release), and almost no problems so far.
I only have a rare issue of the phone booting when it's turned off while charging.
had my HOX since launch day. no problems!!
dropped it after two weeks and smashed the screen.
before dropping, the screen flickered a little. after repair, the screen flickered A LOT. to the point where whatever colour, brightness etc you could see it. software 1.29.xxx.11 fixed it - no flicker what so ever!!!
I also have a flawless one, no screen flicker,no yellow spots or anything
Wow.
I didnt expect to hear from so many positive HOX users since I have been consistently hearing about peoples complaints of the HOX.
Thank you for the reply guys. It would be very helpful if you can mention the HW version number too.
First one developed yellow spot after two weeks, this replacement has no problems (other than slightly weak BT compared to my old Xperia).
Also this replacement runs a lot cooler than my old one. I think the yellow spot is partially caused by overheating so I'm hopeful that this new one doesn't develop any.

I got my One X on launch day in the UK, and not had a single issue with it.
One thing to remember is that the vast majority of the public will not actively praise something, yet those with issues will criticize it.
I was once told by some PR guru that those who have a negative experience will tell around 15 people about it, those who have a positive one will only tell around 3. With the advent of the internet and social media those numbers have escalated.
I've had my One X for about a week now. No issues whatsoever.

Should i buy the one x?

Hello people I am an owner of HTC Desire S and time has come to retire my phone and upgrade.
I am seriously considering getting the ONE X so I have a couple of question that you proud owners of it can probably answer.
1.What are the things I should look out for when buying it?
2.What are the major problems you have with the device?
3.Is the white version out of the question due to getting easily dirty and scraches easily spoted?
Thanks in advance for you help
1) the batch number. i have got sh26 and its flawless. i heard before 25 some HOX had the wifi problem.
2) no major problems. at first i had battery life problem but now its all fine after flashing viper and faux.
3) i have the white version. i use a back part to protect my color. the case got totally yellow. cant tell much about whether the white hox will get dirty or not. my one is still milk white. although its protected.
go for it. you will never regret it.

Good choice. Just buy it
Hi mate. When images of the HOX were leaked last year, I was completely enamored by the device's design, and although the camera bump in the back spoiled it a bit, I still find the phonearvelous to behold. Not so much as a woman, but you get the point...
A's to your first question, by having a look around the forum, you'll soon discover 3 main issues with HOX models: Some screens appear to have yellow spots, some units have faulty WiFi and some appear to have sub-optimal batteries that tend to overheat and discharge quickly.
As to your second question, from my experience with a UK HT24 white HOX, I never encounters these problems. My screen is of the "warm" variety, I never had the temperature of the phone rise above 46 degrees Celsius, WiFi works perfectly, lags were noticeably before, a
nd now they've disapeared completely with the latest update. Battery life has also improved, plus live wallpapers work perfectly now. Ah the joy of staring at the cosmic abyss slithering below you on the HOX's magnificent TrueHD IPS screen!
And about the discoloration issues of the white models: I've never experienced any! The only incident I've ever seen involved a brown unit. I've never seen a picture of a discolored white model. White so becomes our HOX. I would never expect to buy a white colored phone, but on this phone it fits it perfectly! I take some care of it, however, mainly wiping the back occasionally with a cloth or tissue and I bought a cheap soft silicone case for it that fits it perfectly and prevents it from getting scratched. Just add a screen protector and that's all this phone needs!

If you want a realy smart phone, stay awai from HTC ONE X. Samsung is the best.
Reasons:
Bad camera in night mode.
Easy screatching glass.
Battery is bad.
Etc etc.

ultra low bright screen
easily BROKEN screen
very far home button
camera has unreal colors
etc etc
sorry for my honest
hox bad points unable to s-off and kiss your warrenty good bye if you want to root it nobody can knock them bad points
Just FYI - I've had seriously problems with the audio (hissing and excessive line noise) on my One X, and I've seen plenty of other people report this same issue. HTC took my phone back to repair the issue but when it came back nothing had changed - same problem. I've back to my old Galaxy Nexus now cause I was getting migraine during long listening sessions.
Best phone I've ever had

I used to have the Samsung galaxy s3, and I must say, it was noticeably faster and efficient (battery wise). But just received update from OTA which has eradicated lag from the One X, so that's not a problem. The phone is awesome, the design and just the effect you get when holding it - oh and the screen is hands down the best I have seen in my life - the ppi, brightness and just the way that the screen is not interrupted by the end of the phone, your finger just slides off. So to you, I would say get the One X! Its a fantastic quad-core Tegra 3 phone (which btw allows some awesome ps2 graphic games ... amazing)
with out root and s-off its just a phone might as well get mi old nokia out lol

you can unlock once you make sure your phone is trouble free, all of us happy unlocked users did
everything you do with s-off you can do right now except the fact that you need a pc to flash the partition images
your S-OFF drama issue is FUD
Flawless phone since the last update, go for it !
fud is that a proper word lmao

Aye, I was disappointed with myself that I actually waited 3 months to do so.
A few weeks to make sure the phone is issue free should be enough.
As for the other guy, he can't be serious.
What the f*ck is a Nokia? LMAO

I've owned both the Galaxy S3 and the One X. I've stayed with the One X....LOVE IT!!
Had a few bugs when it first came out, mine had some audio problems (popping and skipping). But with the 2.17 update it's working great now.
Mine hasn't had any of the Wifi problems.
Really didn't like the Touchwiz interface and the plasticky feel to the S3.
I'm really happy with the One X and I've always been a big fan of Sense UI.

When I need your opinion rest assured I will ask for it.Unless you are a moderator and it doesnt look like you are you might want to put up or shut up in this thread who doesnt concern you at all...
Oh I get it now you just like to be called a jerk right?
I am bothering to reply to you at all cause thanks to the guys who actually gave me the advice I asked for I have made up my mind and I am getting the HOX.
So as I will be hanging out much more in the HOX forum I think I should reply to your mean aggressive coment.
Serious men get some help.....
