Hey HOX lovers/maniacs,
Just wanna know if anyone had got the hox from the latest batches, viz HT26/SH26.......
Been waiting since I heard about the issues...now I guess most of the S/W issues have been cleared with the updations...So resteless to get my hands on it.
I'm planning to get the HOX fom either Bangalore/Chennai, so kindly let me know if anyone had purchased the new ones from there.
A hardcore HOX lover!!!
As far as i know the HT25 batches came only two days back to chennai. Know that because i replaced my phone yesterday.
So it'll be sometime before you get the june batch because we are still in june!

I had enquired with some of the UniverCell showrooms in Chennai, last week regarding the batch they are having.One of them told me they are having SH25
So, I guess the June batch models are available atlest since last week.
Anyways, I'll be buying it in August....just too curious to know abt its arrival in the city.
Btw, hows your new HOX doing?? still any isssues...?
SH 25 is may batch. June batches will be 26.
The 25 batches have perfect build quality, No screen issues whatsoever.
Much better build when compared to 24 phones which i had.
mine returned from warranty with MB21
Where I can see that?

Have had 5 24 and one 25 and i must say the 25 lasted fewer days than the 24 builds. Wifi and GPS problem was the cause. Now i'm on 24 because the store hadn't any 25 builds. And it is still working fine after 4 days
The patches thing is a joke , i bought the phone since it was out and i have never had any problem with it

Hi I bought my HOX on May 18.
I got HT24 batch, and ofcourse it has Screen ripple/flex problem and Wi-Fi problem (both these are not so prominent, but there is a problem).
I waited till now to get the official notice from HTC about these issues. They are now more or less aware of these problems and started fixing them.
So, am planning to send my device for service this week. Do you have any idea, that the latest batches dont have these issues ??

I just got a 25 and i definitely dont see any screen ripple/flex problem.
Wifi problem might come in anytime so as of now my wifi is perfect.

The thing it does not affect everyone. Small % of the phones experience the wifi issue.
Some people have reported that the problem shows its head after 3-4 weeks while for some its been there out of the box..
HTC fixed this issue this month (ie) The 26 batches will be the first one's with the manufacturing fix.
Rest assured that the issue is present in a small % of users, People who wanna buy the phone should just buy it because the chances are that you might not even have the fault... If you do also you can get the phone replaced immediately..

If you hold your hand over the back of the phone (over the whole camera lens section), does your signal drop?

I'm on my 6th device now SH24 but when you wrote this my thought was "duh, of course it does all my others did" but this one just drops one bar. But I'm just waiting for it to show its uggly face.
I'm glad but somehow I'm not if you know what I mean.

Nice to hear that...
please let me know if any issues are there...
why will the new batches will also have a yellow tint? why cant HTC fix all the issues even in the latest batches. What are they, idiots? they love to get complaints i think. i am sick and tired of the issues. why we have to wait for issues to get solved (esp hardware) for such a phone that we are buying with so much money from our hard work.only if some other phone (s3) was this good looking i wouldnt have bothered to wait this long.
It showed up... I've got this phone just one week and i can't replace it because I don't live in USA.. is there any way to fix it,? will any "pixel fix app" works on this amoled screen?
edit: i read about it and there is no way to fix it I'll try to return this phone, soo bad samsung..

I played this "game" a few weeks ago. I also live outside the US, so I had to send it back for repair,due to a speaker problem (the speaker was 'crackling') and no firm in europe could fix it.. They were the worst weeks of my summer,it took almost 2 months to get my phone back,but I dont have any issues with the phone since then. Hope youll have more luck, 2 months were really too much.

I'm seeing something similar but It's not always there, only shows up occasionally when the screen goes off and I wake it, started happening using liteROM
It's not a "stuck pixel". AMOLEDs can have dead pixels at worst (and it's MUCH rarer than in LCDs and usually it's only one color that doesn't respond). There's some deeper issue. Take a screenshot and see if it shows up there -- that'll tell us if it's in software or hardware.

If I have two bright green pixels, which are on all the time on the sa screen of my tab 7.7, what is this called then?
Dear all ....
i have always been a HTC phone fan since day one i own my first HTC Legend then down to incredible S and to this One X... among all, the worst i had experience was the One X. I have it exchange for 3 time already in 6 month times and seeing the 4th unit coming the way. No doubt HTC Malaysia has done a good job by keep on replacing a brand new out off the box unit for me but it does not really solve my problem and my bad experience on the One X at all .
1st unit - Wifi issue, have to press the right top part of the screen in order to get full Wifi Signal eventho i'm sitting next to a router
2nd unit - Random system restart , very often drop call with a message saying preparing sim card , battery can only last you like 5 hours but on any other day it preforming very good , phone auto turn off indicating battery low eventho it clearly said remaining 20% to 40% battery life
3th unit ( current unit ) Drop call with preparing sim card message randomly will come out on the screen , Wifi issue , same problem with above have to press the right top of the screen in order to get good Wifi signal , out of the box the screen have a small patch around the size of 1 to 2 mm of something similar to dead pixel but it does not look like one
i love the One X a lot .. but with all this problem keep on coming i was thinking is it time i should have give up on this particular model and move on with some other phone ? is there anyone which is used to be or still a One X user care to share me what you think about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ? was it a good phone to try out ?
Else I'm afraid that if i got my 4th sets replacement i might have encounter some other problematic symptom again. Is it wise for me to write to HTC to complain ? would it help at all ?
Thanks for your advice
Gnex is a step down imo. Inferior screen, worse camera, etc etc only good thing about it is that it will receive updates quicker than anyone else due to it being a Nexus phone!
Keep trying until you get a fully working unit. There is nothing at the moment that tops the HOX apart from the SGS3 which is just as good.
i went through 6 of them. on my 7th, its finally working now. thank the lord
im glad i waited until i got a working one. i love this phone, was totally worth holding out.
now everything works properly it is simply brilliant! wifi is fantastic, i was walking down the road, and about 100m from my house, the wifi connected! with a weak signal admittedly, but it was still connected!
my old dhd would disconnect as soon as i walk out the door...
trust me, keep replacing until you get a good one. even the iphone 5 released 5 months after hox is inferior spec-wise
Wow and i taught that i was the only person that keep on swapping until you came alone ! ! will take your advice for it

Ya, I know how you feel, I've got the same wifi isue, Problem is, I bought my phone
in another country so, I can't swap it like you guys
HTC really disspointed me with this problem. I've contected they're support and they
say I can ship it to them for fix for 30euros. (and wait 6-7 weeks!!)
after the HOX I think I'm done with HTC.
Actually i had the same issue with you ... i got mine from another country as well but lucky i can get someone to send it back for me every 1 or 2 month times

Whatever you do, don't go for the galaxy nexus. I'm a bit surprised another issue seems to have appeared that's to do with my screen.
A friend of mine has a galaxy nexus, yes it's actually not that bad to be honest. But battery life is very bad.
I'd honestly wait or pick one of those (if you really want a phone now)
One X (so basically keep on trying and hope for the best) / Galaxy S 3/ Nokia lumia 920 (if you're willing to try a new os, probably nokia is best to choose from on windows) / wait for something better to come out (?)

Actually I was thinking of selling my one x and getting the nexus.
The battery is bad enough the hox, how much worse can it be on
the nexus? (and I read mostly on Black Screens)
oh, You forgot about Motorola, and it's mighty Razr HD Maxx!
BTW, I've just asked a local phone shop to fix my hox,
they want 80-90$ for this! This sucks.
hi, so yeah there are a range of threads on the actual issue. I had though I was one of the lucky ones, but recently i have noticed a faint yellow spot in the middle of the screen. It's kinda annoying, but I don't know if its worth sending the phone in.
this is because I have had a bad experience with my xperia arc and the sony service centre in the uk. (they do fix the phone, but twice it has come with new issues caused by careless handling poorly reattached cover, screws loose and scratches etc.)
so I would like to know, from people who were also in this situation, do they repair the phone by replacing the screen or replace the whole handset? Because if its the former I don't know whether I will risk it...
I went to the shop and explained the problem, they said I was allowed to hand it in. 2 weeks later I got a call to say that the phone was in the shop, went to the shop and and got a whole new xperia s we are about 3 weeks later now and no problems so far, fingers crossed it will stay like that ;p

nice! the problem I have is that I won it off sony in a competition (this isn't a problem haha) but means the only option I have is to send it direct to sony
Sony UK flatly refuse to fix mine. I have asked on several occasions in the last 8 or 9 months and get various reasons why not.
I have been told I would have to pay as the handset only has a 6 month warranty. I was also told I would need to prove I had never exposed it to temperatures outside the specified range.
The so called experts in my local Sony place are total muppets, I have heard some pretty strange things while queuing, including some poor woman being told that the backlight on her TV was supposed to be dim to save power and if she couldn't see it properly she needed to make sure she was in a fairly dark room lol
I'm out on business next week so I'll be visiting a different Sony place.

I have a very good experience with sony(ericsson) assistance centre in rome .....
they repaired my vivaz 4 times for free [ in italy for the laws , there's a min. warranty for 2 years , ] , and only once i've paid 60 € ( about 45 £) for repair the lcd ..........
Now are 8 months i have yellow tint , and i don't know when take to assistance to repair it because i use my sxs everyday intensively
p.s. infact apple paid ( and I think will continue to pay ) a fine because they apply a standard 1 year warranty while the laws force to have a basic 2 year warranty
oddly enough
i bought the phone 7 months ago
1 month later the yellow tint appeared on my phone only on white pages (dont know if thats your case)
didnt bother to send it back to sony coz i know they suck
5 months later this yellow tint disappeared
odd

Mine became less severe over time too.
Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
On mine, yellow tint on the screen appears only when the phone is very hot and on white background.
It does not bother me very much. So I let it without repair.
that's weird because for me its the opposite, when I got the phone I made sure I didn't have the issue. It was only recently that I noticed it. I think I could probably live with it, the only thing Im thinking of is its resale value...
:| i let it be either.. didn't bother me too much.
phone replaced in one two days
I was facing the yellow tint problem also. Went to sony service center and was pleasantly surprised to get a new phone in two days.

I have had a very minor issue with yellow tint on my handset for a few months, I have as of yet not return the phone for repair due to the possible 2 week wait for the repair here in France.
I would like to let everyone who is suffering with this issue that the .55 firmware from my personal experience makes the handset runs at 4/5 oC cooler and for me means I now hardly ever see the yellow tint appearing...:good:
sorry i am noob here, can anyone tell me what is yellow tint??i never kow this..
Realistically no one should suffer from it any more as far as I'm aware as it was a problem with the first batch off the line. It's since been fixed by Sony. I had to get mine swapped for new from Sony as it was a recognised issue. But i had it on the day of release

Yellow tint is a issue where when viewing certain shades of white certain patches of the screen would appear yellow ish (like a stain). Most people seemed to experience this in the same areas (down full length of the right hand side of the phone and a large patch in the middle above the tactile buttons)
I got my phone pre installed with ICS. so My Phone is a new one.... I have tested it every aspect. no tints
Sorry if there has been a thread I am at work but the last few times when ever my screen goes to being locked it will flash white then go the lock screen. Is this a known issue just got the phone Wednesday. Thanks

It is a known issue they'll rma it for this reason. On a side note I had that issue for about 12-24 hours and went away on it's own, no restart or factory reset was required for me. Really wish I knew what or why the cause but maybe it will go away, like mine did. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks I hope so too. Really liking the phone but for this money...
agreed I almost gave up, my first 2 were too blue and the 3rd fine except started that flash, but ultimately went away. Loving this phone!

Mine started today but it has been getting better as the day goes on. I'm curious if its an issue with charging. Prior to a few days ago I had been only using the chargers with that I've received specifically for the phone, but this week--since I'm traveling for the holidays--I've only been using my pixelbook charger, so maybe something isn't properly shielded and the flash is caused by a built up charge? Reason I think that is that it has been less and less noticeable as the day goes on..

My flashing went away the next day. I did do a factory reset just because I only had it a few days and no issues since. Although Google RMA’d my phone I sent the replacement back without accepting shipment as mine has been running like a champ since.

Got my replacement a week ago, 0 flashes so far (finger crossed). I tend now to think it's a hardware issue. Also blue tint is slightly better on new device...
I just got my Pixel 2 XL delivered to me yesterday. Set it all up, didn't get the flashing screen issue at first but now it's doing it. Tried to chat with Pixel support from my phone, they don't have a resolution for it yet.... Hopefully it's a software issue?
Mine started doing this about 3-4 days ago. I noticed that it starts to do it when night mode is on. If I go the RMA route, this will be my 3rd replacement and tbh I'm not looking forward to doing this.
Mine did it once with always on display on, I don't usually use that so I turned it off and it hasn't happened since.
I just received a replacement device yesterday due to a faulty speaker. No issues with the last device, but this device is now exhibiting the screen flash when locking.

Exact thing with me. I received a brand new device that I got because my previous one had a bad speaker (speaker phone distorted sound). This new one has the screen flashing problem. My original did not. Poor QC ... especially for $850.
Mine has been doing it for a couple of days, and it kept getting worse. On chat with Google Support now. Sounds like it's going to be RMA'd.
