[Q] used sandpapper, does i still have warranty?

hey. i used sandpaper on my desire so it turned sliver.
but today i doped it with the changer in and the place where you insert the cable is edit up. my question is if i still have my warranty after i used sandpaper?
thanks in advance!

Unbelievable! never heard anything like this before. you can probably say goodbye to the warranty.I hope you at least happy with the way it looks.

your device is not in warranty...
what where you thinking while using sandpaper?

:S i don't know i was using sandpaper on the pink metal so it turned silver :S

Even if you didn't use the sandpaper, dropping the cellphone on the floor is not covered by warranty. Sandpapering it is just a bonus.
I don't want to be mean or anything, but if it's any consolation,you gave me a good laugh today.
EDIT : And yes, pictures or it DIDN'T happen.

I was thinking the same thing, mines on the right, they must have moved it on newer phones.
Edit: unless its the camera picking up infra red or something from the proximity sensor???

i went to the store i bought it. he said that the problem was my foult so he wont repair it. and he said that the void is broken. don't know why but. so i went home and open my desire, and i took out all the part and the i found out that the place where is broken is the cpu. so i need to buy a new ****ing motherboard thats cost 500$ http://www.htcrepairparts.com/motherboard-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3231.html
so i don't think im going to fix my desire

As you can still access recovery, do you still have a copy of the rom that you flashes on the SDcard? If so, perform a wipe and reflash the rom...
However, if you're still using the stock rom then you have a problem!
You have learned a valuable lesson in why doing a backup before tweaks is important...
I hope you can get it sorted.

i can't ruu flash it, and it have boot loop. and i did do a backup but i can't enter recovery, watch the film i posted

Is your sdcard damaged? Check it in your PC.
If the card is fine maybe the sim and sdcard chip popped out of the motherboard, take a look inside the phone and pop it back in. It is possible for it to come loose when dropped.
Are you using a2sd? Might cause bootloop if sdcard cannot be mounted.

thats screen flex if you still within the "cool off" period take it back for a replacement.
i can confirm this does not happen on my one X no matter how hard i push.

Got my second one today with the same issue. Returned it the same minute I got it. Tomorrow i'm getting my 3rd one, if that fails I'm going for a refund.

I don't see an issue here. Why would you press the phone there at all?

It's not a problem! Mine does it too when pressed on the edge's on the screen. Jees I feel sorry for htc having to replace all these wonderful phone's because some idiot's think the have a faulty device's and then post on you tube. Dumb ass's just be content with this lovely/sexy tech.

*Sigh*
My Samsung Galaxy S did this, My desire HD did this, and so does my One X.
all Marginally, Why is it an issue? Do you need to firmly press the corners of your phone to use it?

Lol.... I think this thread should be closed now.

Sure it will its a LCD but I have to push real hard to get a tiny amount no where near as much as that!

Headphone problems on HOX

Hi guys,
Fairly new so take it easy on me.
New owner of the One X and is a worthy upgrade to my excellent Desire HD.
Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone had any headphone problems. It seems when headphone inserted its just doesn't pick this up and continues to play audio via speaker.
I'm hoping I'm being very dumb and missing something cos I don't want the hassle of returning the phone.
Much appreciated guys.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

It seems like your phone doenst recognize your headphones...
I had the same problem when i bought my sgs+
i solved it by trying several headphones and it worked with one i found

Thanks for the response.
I'll give that a good but seems bad that it can't work with any headphones.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

It does seem strange, I have tried 4 sets of headphones with my HOX (I know, I just like headphones) and haven't come across this.
It could just be an issue with the set you have, hope it's not the phone/headphone socket, good luck!

I've only had it for 4 days so if I'm not happy after some tests it's going back to O2 shop. Which I want to avoid as I have just set everything up etc.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Lets take into consideration
he told us that he has a new phone
so i realy cant imagine its the headphone socket in the phone
if its stock it cannot be a soft bug (ofcourse it could but if it would be a soft bug htc would be a poooooooor cellphone manufacture )
So lets look
some phones (dont ask me why) do not recognize cheap headphones
in some way the do but than only one side works propperly or the sound is messed up or something else
I would call the HTC support hotline

IT must be your phone, mine recognises it perfectly.

Ok however this is a problem that cant be redone by anybody else in a propper way
i would suggest to contact your cellphone seller or the htc support hotline

Thanks for the response guys.
I'm going to try a few different headphones tonight and see what happens. Hopefully it's just these headphones it doesn't like.
If not then a return it is.

Let me know how u fixed the issue

definitely try different headphones. My Favourite pair of Sonys dont work in any HTC phone. They are noise cancelling, so they have a 5pin jack, and HTC's simply don't recognise it.
as long as you have a standard 3 or 4 pin pair, it should be ok, but there are some where the pins don't seem to line up just right...

**** thats what i mentioned to be the problem....
i know it sounds a bit stupid but if the sony headset is ur favourite u might search for a adapter or something else

Sounds like a phone fault to me - I've tried loads of headsets and headphones, all have worked in terms of sound coming out (mic and buttons working is a different story).
Did your HOX come with HTC headphones - I thought they were included as standard, (although they are tinny/cheap) if it doesn't work with them then there is a problem.
If all else fails take the phone and the headphones to the shop and get them to see for themselves.
Good luck.

Ok i dont have this phone and i dont know anybody by the moment who hast this phone
Ask other people u know owning the same phone like u if the may let u test the headset that works for them

To be honest today was the first time I tried some headphones while at work. And they were my old desire HD headphones I had in my draw.
So once I get home I shall try the new HTC ones as well as others I have.
And if not then I will indeed be returning to the shop. I'll let you guys know. Thanks again.

I thought I already did.
And I know totally off subject but any advice on battery calibration etc. Or maybe link to relevant thread as I can't seem to find one. Or one that makes sense to a novice like me.

Right guys I have good news. Its seems the One X just didn't like my old HTC headphones. All others I have tried have worked. So panic over.
It most be as mentioned earlier about the pins.

The battery does not need "calibrating".
Android calibrates its battery meter against the battery when the battery is fully charged. This means that the battery meter will show reasonable values for the remaining battery life.
That is a fact, regardless of what other people may say, think or do.

Update on HTC one x wifi antenna issue INDIA

Hey guys,
I've had this wifi antenna issue since long as my phone is from the first batch.
Been to HTC workshop but got a really stupid answer for my wifi antenna issue "he said we are coming up with a software upgrade and that night just fix your antenna issue" not arguing with him I just left and want to know if anyone of you guys have sent your fone to workshop a d what was the result repairing or replacing....
Hope to get a feedback from some Indians who are using HTC one x with wifi antenna issue.
Thanks

I don't find that an issue at all..although never noticed it on my HOX..coz I am not in a habit of holding my HOX in such a way so that I can press the exact spot between Volume Up and Camera n watch my WiFi signal go down by 2 bars

and you should have read what the wifi fault is all about. wifi gets BETTER when you push the spot on the back. so its a hardware fault and no user fault.

Sorry buddy if u feel it's crowded but I really see the need to create a new thread.... Thanks for your awesome reply I am sure your answer is creating a confusion I clearly asked has one sent the fone to workshop and did not ask or an option on how to hold the phone and ignore a factory fault in the device.... So good luck holding your device and not pressing and be happy with your hox
Thanks for your time and reply

Don't live in India, but have a HOX intended to be sold there. WiFi fluctuates at times, but the three times I've tried the squeeze test my signal actually dropped (good thing). Just give HTC a ring rather than going into the store
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Since there is a Indian owners thread, it would have made sense posting there.
As for your issue, its reverse death grip like N3m3515 mentioned. If your wifi improves on squeezing the region between volume and camera, you have the issue.
And for HTC Service center in India, just put a sofware like wifi analyzer on your phone to prove you're facing the reverse death grip and argue with them about it being a hardware issue and not software issue. I haven't dealt with them, I myself am facing this issue but my warranty is in the UAE and trying to get it fixed here(India) is chargeable by $35(cost of sending it to an international htc service center -_-)
So I have to wait till I go back to the UAE and hope they don't catch my phone having been unlocked by HTC Dev.

Hello, I am from india and looking for buying a new phone. Can you please tell me what are the problems and disadvantages of HTC ONE X.

I had the WiFi issue and I got the same reply when I called HTC support. Subsequently, I went to the service center and explained the issue in detail. I was issued a DOA immediately. If this does not help, you can write to [email protected] and [email protected] explaining your problem and demanding that your phone be fixed or replaced. Also, make sure you are actually facing the problem.. a lot of people (like LakshayX) don't understand the issue and few others are simply paranoid. The only way you can get your phone fixed is to keep following customer support and escalating the issue till you get a satisfactory reply. Hope that helps.

Touch not working 99% of the time

Hey!
This saturday, I noticed something wrong with mt HTC One X (stock rom). It didn't respond at all when I touched the screen, it was active though but the touch didn't seem to work anymore. After like 50 attempts with reboots and all, it worked, but the problem came back later, and again today. I did a factory reset to no avail, as the furthest I managed to get was the part of the first-time start-up where you select WiFi, so that's pretty much unlock + 1 click until it broke again.
Any idea on what's wrong and how to fix it? I'm guessing it's the digitizer, maybe it could be worth for me to open the phone up and see that it looks alright, if that's somewhat easy to do?
Thanks.
Edit: Oh, and when it works, it works for a few seconds usually until it hangs on a random press (keeps that pressed down).

Looks like a hardware failure, go back to the re-seller. You probably still have warranty.

And if you dont have warranty it's easier to replace the digitizer & screen in once. Separating the display from the digitizer is ..... how do i say it correct ...... CRAP

Guess I'll go to the re-seller then and have a chat with them, cause I'm not going to pay anything to fix it to be honest, I'm getting a new phone in 3-4 months so I hope I can survive with my old HTC until then! And if the re-seller isn't keen on doing anything, I'll talk to my insurance company, see if they'd agree to replace it with the HTC One perhaps, fingers crossed.

Okidoki, good luck mate !
