well, nice death by the way just joking man, if your warranty isn't void they must replace it to you!

You mentioned it's done it twice before. Were you playing a game those times as well?
Looks to me like a graphics driver chip issue rather than screen wiring, and if it happened under heavy graphics load all three times, chances are that's what it is.

i cant really remember that i was playing a game, just in the menu's. i hope it is only just the display that needs a replacement.

I don't know if i let it overheat.
I played games while charging the phone.
Maybe it overheated, because it got pretty hot.
Did i make something wrong?
I think it's design flaw if it can overheat in normal condition.

One X Dead

hey guys,
so my friend got a One X, that's Dead...pretty cheap...and we're trying to revive it.
up till now, the phone only vibrates when pressing the power button, screen doesn't wake up. how to access the bootloader "if it's even accessible"?
any way to know if it's fixable?
Uhh, it doesn't sound too easily fixable. If the screen isn't even turning on, you're off to a bad start. Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, not something you'll be able to flash to fix.

okay, after tinkering with it, the screen has glitches and lights up then turns on.....what's the sign of this? i can't decide if it's hardware or software yet..
how to enter bootloader? sorry never used one x before.
okay so, i'll attach an photo of the screen. and a video of a similar issue.

please anyone that can help, let me know
That's a hardware fault maybe faulty flex cable

if you look at the phone, it's very clean, i can tell it never had a smudge or any fall...also the screen is clean, no scratches. quite a catch! what could have made the flex cable go bad?!
in the boot animation the screen is quite good!
You say in the boot animation the screen is good, does it ever clear up entirely? You COULD get a display like that from software, but it's more than likely hardware. For example, running Gingerbread ROMs on the Infuse with Froyo bootloaders cause similar rainbow effects due to a change in coding, so you can POSSIBLY have a scrambled display without a hardware failure.
It may have just been a faulty phone and that's why it looks like it's in good shape. It's not necessarily something that someone broke. It could be a bad GPU chip, it could be a flex cable as mentioned, it could be a lot of things. If you (or rather your friend) got it for cheap, and you want to try opening it up to inspect the cables, you can find disassembly threads and videos to tell you how. You could be going on a wild goose chase though.

sometimes it boots up with that white messed up screen, sometimes it boots with the sense 4 lockscreen. lags a lot while trying to unlock the lockscreen, after that all hell breaks loose and screen becomes messed up pretty bad.
thanks for the tips man, i will try opening it up and having a look inside.
it could be a bad factory outlet as a friend suggested...

Well, hell, you can try reflashing the software if you can see enough in recovery mode (vol down and power at the same time). I can't see how it would hurt it any more. From the sound of it, you either have VERY messed up software, or more than likely, faulty hardware. Does it seem like the display works any better when it's been off for a while (cold)? If it gets worse the longer it's on, or if it had been on and you just rebooted, it would point more towards a faulty gpu chip to me and the heat causing the problem to come out.
Not sure about how warranties transfer or if they do at all (might depend country to country too), but you could see if it's still under warranty and can be sent in before you open it up.

alright then
i'll post later if it worked out either ways. thanks for your time bro, unfortunetly i'm out of thanks to thank your last post
actually, the screen gets better when used more to be honest. first we got it, the screen never turned on, then after many tries, it finally came up...first time it was like in the pic, second boot it was sense 4 lockscreen, but messed up later on.

Hmm... weird. Not sure what to say. Well, good luck. I hope it works out!
What honestly it looks like to me is that they tried to flash a american version of a rom on to the phone so you have the improper bootloaders and such. hopefully this works for you.

If the screen turns on then you didnt kill it. here are the stock ruu's for the HTC One X International. Make sure to choose the one proprietary to your phone and country.

I know I don't own an one x, but I do have a HTC Rezound, and I cracked the screen in it, and mine did the something while watching YouTube videos, but then it just went back to normal, this happened twice to me. I thought my screen was going out, but if yours is doing it and there's no physical damage, had to be something in the phone, or maybe software is that even possible? Lol.
Just thought I'd share what happened to me..
ICS Rezound.

yes it could be a software issue. so your phone had that issue after changing your digitizer/screen? and then became normally by itself later on...?
thanks for the insight

Serious Screen Problems

Hi guys
This is my first thread, in this forum. Personally, i've never moded my cell phone, but recently attempted to root and mod my wildfire s.
I succeeded, this forum was really helpfull!
Even before the mod, my screen was driving me crazy. In the begining it took my attempts to unlock the phone. Some other time, in the messages section, keypad would act on his own, literally Even if i typed "A" it would typed "enter" or anything else but "A". So I enabled touch trace to see what happens.Here is the thing, like i suspected, touchscreen's reactions are spoted away of the point i touch. Sometimes, two touch traces appear on the screen.. Some other times, its extremely difficult to unlock the screen, hang up the phone, or use the menu.. So that's the story. With the mod nothing changed..
Is it a hardware problem? Is it a software problem?
Thanks in advance.. :good::good:
PS: I use cyanogenmod 10
Only a couple of apps installed
PS: english is not my mother language so, maybe some unusual expressions and dictation could by used :angel:

It's not a big problem..
your hand is wet, and the screen also, but if you dry it with a polyester (of your t-shirt) it will work..
only dry the display and your hand

Yes im using the stock one. I ve never measured the output though.. I maybe check it tomorrow.. But the problem is constant and happening, not only when the device is plugged... The other thing is, there isnt only ghost inputs, there are freezings too. Or a thing, where ex: im trying to unlock the phone, so i slide to the side, and visually im almost unlocking it, but in real, nothing happens. Its still on lock screen.
any other?? im kinda desperate with this phone.. :crying:

yes, If re-calibration is not helping then you need to replace the digitizer. Am also suffering the same issue now. Just got my digitizer replaced two days before. But am still suffering from some issues regarding touch. Gonna have to recheck with the retailer

That issue applies while we try accessing the phone while it is charging , right ? I mean, the touch response will be strange while the phone is been charged. But, here the OP is having issues with the touch screen all the time (charging / not-charging) . And re-calibration didn't work too.

I thought this was the error in the first place i measured current and voltage on the output of the charger and it seems legit..

[Q] Disassembly?

Anyone have any idea how to disassemble this tablet? The power button on mine has become a bit 'sticky'.

You want to disassemble it it for a sticky Power button? Does the sticky power button stop you from using the tablet properly ie. Does it swicth off the display on its own...If not I would honestly just leave it alone. Opening it up can cause loads of other problems.
If you read the Warrenty i think it does say that Samsung May attempt to fix the problem even if the tablet is from another part of the world. Worth giving them a call if you havent done so already.

It does jam and sometimes reboots the tablet.
The local Samsung service centre told me that they'll need to replace the entire chrome bezel (what a load of nonsense). They'll give me a quote by tomorrow but I honestly doubt I'll pay whatever that is!

Yes! that's what i discovered now, i went to recovery mode (Power Button+Vol down button) and i was so suprised that it lasted 2 hours now without shutting down or fading to darkness

You have to stress the phone to see if it is stable. Recovery is a low resource environment, boot into Android and then see it is not working. Trust me, i have a device with the same symptoms and fixed it by baking the motherboard in an oven.
