Hi All
Like the title suggests I've got a One X which I had got through an insurance claim (Could be refurbished). Everything's fine but the screen seems to be coming off on the left hand side. I feel the epoxy resin which holds the screen together on top of the main board assembly could be reason. On the right hand side it seems to be perfect and glued to the main assembly seamlessly.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards
Ven
There is nothing u can do but return or repair it, it's a defected screen glue
Return it as defective

Hey Fellow HTC Desire Lovers!
I have a question. Can you replace the top PCB (I think its called) the top one that has the Headphone jack and camera attached to it.
Is it a case of simply getting a replacement part from another phone and swapping the NAND flash? (I think its called the NAND flash module, Its the little square thing next to the camera)
What happened was
My HTC desire had a fist fight with the wall! it left a dent on my wall as well as on the desire!
The odd thing it Smashed the the AMOLED screen and the Housing bad! It caused the camera to be ripped from the PCB circuit board as well as the headphone jack. It is still attached but neither work. I have repaired the screen and replaced the housing (however still need the middle housing as it is still bent)
The phone works fine! Besides the camera and headphone jack and earpiece! What a beast!
Thank you for your help!
Sorry I think its called the Flex cable
Please help if anyone knows if its possible to simply swap it?
Thank you
I don't see why you couldn't swap it, as long as its the same component from another amoled handset.

wow thats great news! So it has to be a AMOLED handset to be able to work? I thought the SLCD and amoled only differed in their screens and possibly connections to the main board at the bottom?
Also when searching ebay i found flex boards that are for Nexus one. will they be ok to use? having a look at them they look exactly the same as the desire one. I cant post a link right now but will do when I can
Thank you
I'm not sure if it's totally necessary for it to be from another amoled handset, but that's how I'd do it, just as a precaution. Not sure about the nexus component.

I purchased a new one from ebay came today swapped it working fine although camera not in properly its missing the shield so its just stuck in there without the top metal to hold it in but no big deal.
For everyone that repaired their phones be careful with the digitizer strip that connects to the screen it's just held on with tape. sometimes it comes loose mine did and the phone bootlooped. I just stuck it on more firmly and its fixed using it now
Thanks ffor your help man!
And your right I don't think it matters if you have amoled or LCD . I just got a generic part for £25

Hi there,
Just bought the HTC One V. The phone is really good so far but i have one issue with it, the bottom cover leaves a slight gap. i cut my sim card for it and there is still a gap.
Does anyone else has this issue?
Any suggestions
Thanks
Idon't have the issue. Mine fits perfectly. You shoul probably ask for a replacement.

I have problems with One V bottom cover too. It leaves a slight gap od the bottom left side (if you look the back of the phone).
This is my third One V.
First one had yellow ring around the display edges, T-mobile got me new immediatley. On second one display got unglued from the phone?!?!? I was amazed!! They gave me new next day.
And now the third one has problems with bottom cover.
I tried 3 different brand new phones in the T-mobile store and they all had this issue.
Honestly, now I hate this phone!
Can someone find why bottom cover cannot fit. Is microphone rubber pushing it out of the socket or is it somethig else??
Replacement. Mine doesn't have a gap either.

Hey I was wondering how could I know if I need to replace the digitilizer, the LCD or both? The touch screen seems to be working (it responds as usual) the issue is that the glass is broken. The thing is that the difference is price is quite big between digitilizer and both.
Thanks!
They're fused together and almost impossible to separate without causing damage. You'll have to replace the whole LCD/digitizer assembly
If you manage to separate them (i don't recommend) then you can get the cheap digitizer. You will need a hair dryer to melt the glue between them.
I didn't try this or will try it but this method is very popular for iphones.

I've spent 6 months trying to get a proper One X screen (complete unit, LCD+Digitizer). Not one of the 7-8 screens I have tried has had the digitizer fully bonded to the LCD. Many of the replacements had defective LCDs too (contrast issues, bad backlights etc).
When I got my One X back in April (had it for a whole week before a drop from pocket height smashed the screen!), I recall that there was no gap at all between the LCD and digitizer, across the whole screen area - they were bonded completely - something proven beyond doubt when a repair company had a go at getting the broken digitizer off the LCD underneath.
Every replacement screen I have tried has had a distinct gap - the LCD and digitizer are bonded but ONLY along the edges, not across the screen surfaces. I cannot see a way they could be bonded across the entire surface either, as the gap seems to be there because the digitizer unit holds the gorilla glass approximately 1mm above the LCD surface. Even if you could bond them, it wouldn't go right to the edges.
So now I have a flawless LCD, but an air gap. Pressing on the screen (eg, when checking for the Wi-Fi hardware issue), results in a sort of "reverse bubble" - a dark area where the two surfaces come into contact. That dark area is actually how the entire screen should look, and the air gap makes the display poor in direct sunlight.
Now I could put up with it, but the Ballistic case I have (to prevent more shattered screens) forces the digitizer into contact with the LCD in the middle of the screen which looks rubbish.
Does anyone know of a source of replacement screens that aren't the crappy sort I've been getting? Or am I wrong about the air gap? I'm convinced the ones on ebay are ALL these shoddy hand-made efforts with air gaps.
In case anyone wondered - I did ask HTC about a repair, but as you may know, they wanted a ransom fee if I didn't like their quote after posting my phone to them. O2 gave a free quote, but wanted £300! Their repair centre refused to just replace the screen, and insisted on replacing the perfectly functioning mainboard too.
£300 ? thats more than the phone's price, it shouldn't cost more than £100 if they wanted to rip you

No it's not - the phone is £380 on Amazon right now (it was £400+ but the One X+ release has devalued it more quickly).
If you'd like to provide a link to somewhere offering a complete new screen for £100 or less, I would be interested. Most companies in the UK are offering replacement screens for £150 or so, fitted.
Thank you all, today I went to a local store and they changed both LCD and Digitilizer for $120 (Dollars), they kept my LCD (which was working). I think it went way cheaper than expected

Thanks - I also just found that over in the other thread in the General section. Finally I might have my One X back!
Hi,
I bought a used HTC One X as a replacement for my faulty one but the white housing is dented and scratched. The one on my faulty one is in perfect condition so I wanted to replace them.
If I open the HTC One X is there some sort of seal that voids my warranty as I still have 1 year left?
Also is it easy to change them?
Thanks

I replaced my son's hox screen and can't remember seeing a seal on the case, only on some of the parts and screws. as for easy, yes. just google for youtube video's. I used a youtube and it went without a hitch
The only void sticker is located on one of the motherboard screws. The motherboard doesn't need to be removed so the sticker will be fine, just make sure not to leave any other marks or scuffs.
Thanks for the information.
Just so I know aswell, when I take the white part off does it just come off in one motion or will there be ribbons/cables etc attached to the main part?
It comes off in one motion. Just pay attention to the massive amount of double sided tape and be sure to remove the SIM card before you begin.
I managed to successfully change the housing with no damage and also changed the speaker over from my new to old as the water damaged one you could hear the difference so all is good
Thanks again for the help and advice.
One last question I had was when I was changing the housing I noticed they had some serial/code number on them, does that show HTC you have changed it or is that nothing to worry about warranty wise?
It's easy to do start from the bottom, becareful the speaker pins. Just take note make sure sponge on speaker does not come away if it does you get a buzzing speaker

On the housing side of things it was just the small speaker I changed over and all you do is lift it out and put it back in.
Very simple

Where can I buy a good quality back housing?

I purchased a second hand (bad move) HTC One M8. It arrived in the mail with the screen bent off on both sides (see image below). I wanted to know if there is any way to fix this before I send it off to where I bought it from.?
Thanks
Its possible that the battery has gone bad and is starting to off gas. Since the battery is sealed it will start to swell up.
I have seen it happen on iPhones and an M7 (also seen it on devices with removable batteries but in those cases the battery door pops off).
With the M7 the center of the LCD appeared closer to the glass while the top and bottom seemed a tad further away. But it too had the adhesive come loose and the glass bow on the sides.
Id send it back.
Send it back

I had a similar issue, noticed slight screen lift on the right side, worse in the middle of the right edge. Turns out bezel was warped, so glue gave away as screen struggled to straighten out.
I sent in. They replaced the whole bezel.
I had this happen to my HTC One X after I replaced the LCD and did a poor job of reassembling.
Definitely should have been mentioned in the item description, so send it back. You didn't get what you paid for.
