This is a mega rant. I have had the phone for about 2 months now, and always thought the issue was only with my device and i should give it to the service center, which was always delayed because of something or the other.
Now recently i suggested the One X to another friend of mine, and he did the same to another friend of his.
On all our phones the microphone quality is just pathetic, the person on the other side of the call is always complaining of the call being muddy or muffled, so to speak and i sound pretty much illegible most of the time.
Though a little bit exaggerated maybe, but im super pissed!
This is what i mailed them :
The microphone quality on my HTC One X is seriously disappointing. I cannot remember one call in which the person on the other end has not complained about my Voice being "muffled" or "muddy" and completely illegible. In fact i am not the only person facing this issue; this has been mentioned in a lot of reviews as well. But i never could have imagined that this issue will be so pronounced!!
I am using a Vodafone connection in India. Exact location is NOIDA, UP (NCR region).
I tested a friends phone as well, and the exact same problem!!! His phone is barely a week old! (He is on Airtel btw.)
Not only am i regretting getting the One X over the Galaxy S3, but i have to bear the constant nag from my friend to whom i had recommended this phone over the Galaxy S3 (AGAIN!).
I have owned the Nexus One, the HTC Desire Z, the HTC Sensation, the HTC G1 and the HTC Hero!! I have always loved the amazing build quality! But one thing that was flawed in all of these devices was the earpiece volume. Though that could be managed with.
HELL! My 3 year old Nexus One sounds crispier!!
And no I have not reached any conclusions by just calling one no. or phone.
I tested the call quality by calling the One X (and calling from the One X) the following devices:
Motorola Atrix / Motorola DEFY / Samsung Galaxy S / Samsung Note / Samsung Galaxy S3 / Nokia Lumia 800 / HTC Nexus One / Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Samsung Nexus S.
It has been 2 months since I purchased the device.
With the One X the ear piece quality was fixed, but the microphone quality just went down the drain!
I cannot even use the phone as a PHONE! ?
I think I just wasted Rs. 36000 ($650) on a top of the line “HTC” device, which is soon going to be “replaced” but the rumored “HTC One X+/CL” ???
Is this how dependable HTC has become? It has been barely 6 months since the HTC One X was released and a new top of the line device already in the works? Is this how the premium customers are treated?
I know that all I will get out of this “rant” is a typical –“We are sorry that you are disappointed with the device and request you to get you device checked at the nearest HTC service center mail”, but I really had to get this through, because I really feel that my trust in HTC as a competent manufacturer of quality mobile devices has been broken and is un repairable.
Im ordering the Galaxy S3 as soon as I reach the US next month to start my PG studies there, at least I will get good support for the money I spend. And most of all will be able to use the phone as phone.
From here on I will not recommended the HTC One X to anyone or as I should put it as- any HTC device from now on.
I am sorry, but I am just throwing away the phone into some drawer and will be using a cheap Nokia phone, which again has far better call quality, than my $650 HTC ONE X! , till the time I get my Galaxy S3.

Chime in with your views.
AND NO I AM NOT USING A CASE WITH THE PHONE! The bloody camera lens is already accumulating scratches.
Are the scratches magically apppearing or are you pocketing the phone with keys and sand?
Sand or fine dirt will foul up the Mic and scratch even gorilla glass.

My LCD is fine, there is a screen gguard applied on it. the scratches on the camera lens though are because of it protruding outwards of the back body. so whenever iI place it on a hard oor alight dusty surface.. the lens makes contact and gets scratched.
This really isn't of any concern to me. I will as it is getting a replacement BLACK back panel.
Also the Mic ports are perfectly lint or dust free.
I totally disagree, I've just recorded my self talking and it was crisp clear, could be a network or radio problem, I do remember reading that one of the radios was rubbish in a certain stock rom, try recording your self?

Trap that was thethe first thing iI tried myself.
The Mic recording quality is top notch to say the least... but this is when recording in PCM. Which almost impossible to use for transmitting over a network call.
Try calling youself from another phone... mute it (the other phone) and then try speaking to yourself. Compare this with the recording.
Over the past iI tried swapping the radio as well.. even tried different RIL combinations. Still no change.

Yeap that is why the friends One X on a different network.
This is not a new thing... it is just too pronounced in my case.
I just Google's - Htc one x voice muffled.
And found that even a lot of reviews state that the call audio is muffled.
I really hope in all of this ,that I am wrong and it is just a netwrok issue.
A friend of mine has the same problem with his One X.
It's definitely a hardware issue.
Just left my self a voicmail and it was as clear as the recording, maybe hardware variances who knows

Ok my voice is pretty bassy, but no-one has complained about my voice being muffled at the other end since May.
I just recorded myself and it sounds pretty fine.
I can understand why you're pissed, despite all the shortcomings of any smartphone its basic feature i.e the phone should be fully functional.
But if you're saying you AND two other friends also feel the voice is muffled that's messed up ****.

Your signature answers the question.
And you might want to check my post history.. that'll probably give you more proof over the "troll" crap.
Also I prefer Sense over anything. That is why I'm running ViperX and not CM10.

There must be something with the Indian networks here which is messing things up badly...
Only choice is to wait till i get to the US and try the phone there.
Now I'm beginning to feel that I might been a little too hasty.
Ok sorry, probably I'm wrong but I'm getting nuts people keep mentioning SIII in there first post.
If you have a mic problem go claim your warrantee, what's keeping you?
My mic works fine, calling does work fine, could it be a operator issue you and your friends are facing?
Also my camera glass or screen doesn't have any scratch, I feel like I'm the only one in the world LoL.

Thing is that they are on a different netwrok and i am on a differemt one.
As far claiming the warranty... well I'm leaving for the US in 10 days. and I'm prettyyyu sure that they are going to take atleast 15 to even get a repair done. I don't want to get the ATT one X ., no matter what! Can't afford to get a new one due to obvious overheads of moving to a different country...
Ah chuck it. Ill go bloody order a Jabra Street 2. While I wait for HTC to revert back.

If it helps, I've used the phone in the UAE and India(!dea and Vodafone) I'm on Idea right now.
Can you try to describe the muffling a little better? Does your voice get muffled real bad i.e people can't understand jack-**** or what?
And yea warranty will take long, you won't be able to claim warranty in the U.S either. I can't claim my UAE warranty in India unless I pay $30 for shipping to an International HTC Service Center.

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.

Cant blame someone for being nervous with the flickering issue. I just ordered one from Newegg and I have to admit I will be looking it over very carefully for faults!
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.

Posting in this section because posters on this form have experience with both the S4 and the Tegra 3.
Currently I own an HTC ONE S. I love the way it looks and feels in the hand, the screen and battery life is decent and when its working correctly its lovely and fast.
BUT
I hate the chipping issues and there is no official word on a solution for the black version. The Internet and signal is sporadic at best jumping from 3G to HSDP+ and often not working at all i'm also getting soft resets when browsing the internet. I also hate that it can't play 720p youtube smoothly.
I'm thinking of complaining to 3mobile and upping my tariff and swapping for a HTC One X (international with Tegra 3).
I'll get used to the size and the added bonus of extra storage will be nice. The battery concerns me a little. In work I always have access to a charger so thats ok. But at weekends when i'm out and about just using the phone for the occasional call and text and nothing else am I likely to notice a huge difference between the S and the X?
Would you make the change if you were having the same issues as me? I've had two ONE S's both with the same problems so its not just my phone.
There have been no updates for the S whereas there have been at least 2 for the X. Also the ROM scene on the S isn't great with not many releases and I was hoping to learn how to do that and have some fun tinkering.
What would you do?
Thanks for any help in advance.
If I were you I'd go ahead and get the One X because you seem to want more power to play 720p smoothly without LTE and after reading the Battery Stats thread (which includes the One X international version), I came to a conclusion that the One X has pretty decent battery life. Though I'm already biased because I literally can't sleep at night because I'm thinking about this phone, I would still recommend it over the One S also because of screen size and quality. But before you pull the trigger and get the One X, you should ask around the forums and see if anyone else is using the unlocked international version of the One X on T-Mobile and if they're experiencing similar issues.
they said they changed the process of the one s, so idk exchange it for the one s, if it doesnt work go to the one s!!!!
but i think your meant to post this in the international one x section??? yes no idk
Wrong forum, this is the S4 One X(L) section.
That being said, the S4 version is still a fantastic device.

however we have serious list of random build quality defects right and there is a high chance you might get a defected unit, i made a poll and 28% out of 600 voters had a defected unit

My advice: get rid of them and move on. Why stick w something that gives you so much distress and then feel unhappy?
That being said, if I were to get any of them, I'd stick around since they are such nice phones and I cant imagine me using Android on any other brand Sam*cough*sung*cough.
But again: it's just a phone. Dont like it dont use it.

Please don't be misleading when it comes to defective numbers, its natural that when people have defects they come search on a forum like this and when nothing is wrong they don't.
Also after years of reading these forums its clear that out of the thousands there is always a few ocd who nit pick at things that the general public would never even notice as build defects.
My One X is fine btw It's the longest I have ever gone without rooting and installing custom rom, I think because I really enjoy the stock speeds and sense UI re design ^.^

Dust would drive me insane! The chipping issue on the ONE S is not good at all.
The phone plays 720p fine in a dedicated media player but it does not like 720p in youtube in the browser.
I do like my ONE S just wish it would work properly (internet and MAO coating).

The Previous poster is right, It's you who is being misleading.
I believe the defective unit rate would be more like >10% (Still bad), Remember people like to complain more than they like to praise, hence why you'd see a disproportionate amount of negative results.
also, I find it hard to believe you're on your 15th one X?!
Why not Give up at your 3rd?

I'm with basil3...to any of us here, the most minute little inconsistency will drive us mad and we will post and ***** and moan about it all day long, but to most people, such things don't even compute. It's the same reason "most people" buy iPhones...they just don't know any better and any old POS will do.
Fwiw, I also have a perfect OneX. Still stock and brilliant in every way. I also find it difficult to believe someone would keep going back to something that they found defective fifteen times...
get the XL if you are on tmobile..if you buy the international version you will be stuck with edge unless you live in an area that tmo has refarmed their 1900 spectrum to handle 3G (which I doubt it)

i didnt give up because i want a perfect one so badly! if thats not clear enough!
i bet your screen have so sort of defect and u didnt even bother looking

So I'm on my 6th handset, and no flickering at last.
However this one has a dead pixel (again) and the front speaker holes where the led is are mis aligned, wonky basically and tbh I think it looks tacky like a cheap knock off
I'm torn between doa'ing this and going onto the 7th handset or just living with the two issues
What would you do?

7th time's a charm...
Those issues would bug me more tbh than the screen flicker which I currently experience but holding hope that 1.30 will resolve it. Try again and hope that the next handset is the holy grail.
Return it again until you get a good one mate. At the end of the day you are on a phone that you will be using at least a minimum for a year..so i say take it back

Personally I'd just return, the One X is an Amazing Handset, and you shouldn't have to live with a defective unit, i'm not sure why you're so unlucky to get 6 of them, but better to persist than give up and then not be able to return later.

I feel sorry for you as i was first time lucky....to be honest if you are not happy i`d return it and try again.If for some reason mine went kaput i`d keep searching for a perfect replacement..it`s a great phone.
Return it. Im on my eight one. Something so expensive should be perfect.
Thanks for the replies, think I agree and will arrange the next replacement!

i would take back the 100th if it was faulty.
I would take it back
I seem to have got really lucky - somehow got a perfect device myself!

I would take it back,
But why are you not getting your replacement direct in the shop, (I would) - and I'd check it in the shop before I left.

I often cant help to think that people only find (some of the minor) issues with handsets once they have been on the forums and then go to look for them.
I wonder if I passed what i think to be a defect free handset to someone that has had more than 6 or 7 replacements that they would find defect that I dont see?
Just a thought….

No offence, but, return it and move on to a different handset... It is insane for anyone to buy/return/exchange 6-7 times for a product. Clearly the product doesn't work for you. If I have to exchange a product more than once, I'm done with that product..

That's the thing, I could, but to me there just isn't any competition to it, 100% working it wipes the floor with anything else (i hate Samsung's touchwiz and everything else they do with it like the stock browser has no desktop mode at least on sgs2, desktop mode is necessary for me) if there was a nexus with the same specs I wouldnt mind that, but then again I'm hooked on sense there's so many little features that I take for granted now and when I use another phone, it just doesn't feel right. And that's why I have to keep swapping, once I find the perfect one (which should have been the first one dammit) I will be a happy bunny
Edit: damn sense, any other product would have absolute maximum 2 tries then it would be off to another brand

I've almost driven myself mad trying to decide whether to return my HOX due to the flicker at low brightness. The problem is that for me it's a bit of a PITA to find the time to return to the shop, and the other thing is that both of the HOXs that colleagues of mine own, which came from different shops entirely, also exhibit exactly the same issue. So considering my phone is otherwise a very good example without any of the other issues I've heard about, I've decided to stick with it and see what the 1.30 update does.
This issue definitely isn't bothering me just because it's mentioned on this forum; I discovered the discussions on here after noticing the flicker myself.
I'd return it and get a replacement.
i really wanted to get this phone and now with all these issues with screen problems, storage space corruption etc. is seriously putting me off, i mean what the heck is this, it's meant to be their flagship device
Fcukin chill out, mine is fine what u complainging about, u havnt even got one so why complain
Sent from my HTC One X
Because I was going to get one today and now I'm not, it's a lovely device yet they can't get it right, you think I want to risk purchasing a handset that has flickers, screen issues, missing storage? Don't you realise that I actually USE my phone for pretty much everything from work, to uni, to my life?? AND I NEED IT TO WORK GOD DAMN IT NONE OF THIS BS
Boo hoo.
Try having one with issues before you complain. There are plenty of people with perfectly working ones, just a big majority on here that got them in the first week or so have early problems. Such as my self.
Most things aside from the screen flicker can be resolved.

Get one , you will get one like me a faultless one . No worries. Newer batch phone has no errors and btw prefer Taiwan made and serial ht24 or greater batch.

Lol, I hope he doesn't get one,... then maybe he will piss off from the HOX forum.
Creating bashing posts like this and the clown doesn't even have the device, nor has he even used it.

Waiting for threads like this to pop up when the S3 is released
I'm inclined to agree with the title, while I dislike the phone for other reasons HTC have annoyed me hugely with the whole "we've listened to the customers and unlocked the bootloader" lie.
The handset itself has been fine, no flex or screen problems and it takes a good picture. I suspect it will scratch the camera lens in regular use though (as did my Desire) but that's not the killer. While some people may find the built in memory and sealed battery to be fine, I don't.
It's being returned after six days of use/learning the foibles of the phone and I'll go back to my old handset for the time being. This isn't aimed at bashing the One X for all those who are about to jump on me for posting an opinion, just pointing out that there are those of us who have tried it and found it wanting. What will I look at next? Dunno and this isn't really the place to speculate. Quite sad about it really as the HOX has already attracted a decent developer base, there's quite an impressive who's who of developers from the Desire ROM sub forums around.
I have had mine for at least a month and have yet to have any problem that you described above. Go get one and see for yourself. Its definitely a great device, probably best I've ever had and thats hard for me to say considering I usually prefer Samsung. HTC did an excellent job with this phone.
Now is a good time to get one. Just got mine from Phones4U free on a 12mo contract at £36 a month

It's a phone, not a life-saving drug. If you don't want to even try it, just buy something else.
Don't feed the troll. He's just being a ****.

Yeah I'm being a ****? have you noticed the forums full of posts with htc one x faults? are you blind? ok you might have a good one, but a considerable amount of users are having serious issues,
ok, I guess you have a bigger **** than me since you call me a clown and state I'm being a ****, nice one,
I'm glad someone agrees with me in the fact that there are flawed models out there with no way to guarantee which model I will get,
What the arseholes who have replied to this post negatively are basically saying is I should get the phone then ***** about whatever flaws it has (if it has any),
How about all HTC ONE X models should be flawless rather than me worrying about whether I get a faulty model or not
I've never used one? are you ****ing serious, You think I would have made my mind on purchasing a phone without using it, now whos the clown making assumptions here,
I'm not saying I will get a faulty model but the fact is there are faulty models out there,
who the **** wants a phone with flickering screens, flex display, missing storage, etc.?? not me for a start
if you want to swear, I'm letting you know I can swear too
No problei here despite reading the stories on here before. I experienced the issues that the large HTC windows mobile had, can't remember its name now. Had no problems with desire and desire hd or sensation. Got mine off eBay for 350 including the beats headphones new, bargain in my opinion. A work of art this phone. Light as a feather.
The only thing that's noticeable is the off white screen colour, I cant tell if its a yellow tint or blue tint really. Should be fixed with software upgrades? Fingers crossed!

as much as i disagree with the way you are handling the whole issue here specially with your language i also have to agree with you with the whole HTC thing though. if i knew what kinda faults the phone had from the start i would of gone for the Nexus. But as time goes and after 3 replacements i still kinda have a phone with a very thin gap...not noticeable but still you know it is there and a tad creak if you press hard on the left hand side of the phone..but still i will keep this as everything else is functional and the phone is a beast...with a nice case i bought and the pouch i have a great phone....it is down to you what you want to do but i would advice to handle your frustrations in a better manner good luck with what you choose
Im pissed off cos ive not really got any problems to report and feel as if ive been left out the party!!
Dam you HTC, why did you make my device fault free?
;-)
Well I admit maybe I shouldn't have freaked out, I've been eagerly awaiting this phone and then whilst checking these forums to ensure no major issues, I find there are a ton of issues, I mean wtf??
I'm not going to risk buying a phone unless I know there's a chance it will be a good working model.
Anyway sorry to have started this thread on a bad note and sorry for swearing, I can man up and admit I was wrong initially

That is not entirely true. My last one was a ht242 and had this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elLrWWFVNOM
You do realize anytime you have a lot of phone enthusiasts buying the same phone in an area such as a phone forum you are more likely to see more incidents of problems arise?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Simple question because i'm fed up waiting. Is the HTC One X fixed yet? Carphone wearhouse have recalled the phone and are not selling it anymore, and apparently more retailers will follow. HTC cant admit they made a mistake and the hardware is broken. I'm not willing to get the galaxy s3 because that has many faults too, and i want an htc phone. I also cant think of a compromise to any of these phones though.
So, is it fixed? Any official statement? Thanks in advance. Im in bed ill so i'll be slow with replys lol.

blooming rumors tbh,
look at the cpw website and you will clearly see they are still available.
mine is a release day version and ive had no problems, until cpw make a statement or someone gets a recall notice i would take it with a pinch of salt, probo samsung marketing department again lol.
go instore tell the assistants there your worries and ask to check the phone there and then before you get it...nothing wrong with the latest batches now and much better to get this phone instead of the s3 mate
I got mine from CPW and it wasn't recalled - it's been perfect
I asked in two different stores CPW on the phone, and unfortunately only had batches from April. Still I'm waiting until I buy this phone
I'm still very sceptical about the One X. I don't want to blow near £500 on a glitchy, faulty device. Any more updates? Sounds like it's STILL having problems. It's a disaster phone.

I agree, my advice, get it IF you can return it without a hassle just in case. It is a great phone (best screen ever, way better than iphone 4s screen).
However, I had wifi problems and a cracked screen due to a high noise, lots of scratches on the screen which I've never had on my previous gorilla glass phones.

Haha, no lol. Yeah, I agree, it's the best phone you can get right now, when it's not riddled with problems that make it unusable. I loved it when I had it. That's why I'm finding it hard to get a replacement.

If I buy it again soon, I'll probably get it out of a store, and not online because sending it back is a hassle, and too time consuming. And it usually costs me for P&P (which is usually refunded, but a pain).
Decided after a lot of thought that I'd prefer the Galaxy S3. It seems to have better audio and other features I prefer over the HTC One X. I think the HTC One X is both a pinnacle and nadir.
Well played, well played, indeed
