Hi all, I have been reading this forum for a while now, but this is my first post. I had a hero before I got the HTC desire hd, and I love both phones. But the desire hd has a problem. The phone has started turning off when I use the camera with flash. The camera is fine without the flash. Also the leds don't work with the flashlight app.
The phone isn't rooted, and hasn't been dropped etc. I have reset the phone and no difference. Any ideas. Cheers des.
some more info. The flash and the flashlight app used to work but now don't. sometimes the phone doesn't switch off when I try the camera flash, but the flash doesn't flash.
also I need to remove the battery to make the phone startup after this fault. the battery and sim card are fitted fine. The phone is about 6 weeks old sim free from handtec. I sent a email to HTC about the fault on Saturday, but have heard nothing back other than a email receive confirmation. are they usually this slow.
Sounds like a hardware fault to me. I'd return it for repair asap.
That's what I'm thinking too. Just don't want to be without the phone.. typically how long are they away for repair?
Depends if they're either gonna replace it right away or attempt to repair it. Repairing time is differnet everywhere...
Depends how busy they are and availability of parts. Unfortunately there is no way to be sure. Could be anything from 1-6 weeks.
Just to let you know HTC have arranged to collect the phone and take it for repair. 10 working days with no phone, boo.
Facing the same issue.
How was yours resolved and what was the problem according to htc?

I had the similar problem. I fixed it by myself changing battery. It was faulthy. After changed it with another I didn't ha ve nothing problem again
For those who have problems with GPS on HTC ONE X i make a tutorial how to fix this.
This method work perfectly for me,and for other users.
If you are not scare to open your phone fallow this steps like in tutorial.
Method 1
1: open your phone to reveal what is inside
2: pull up those connectors shown in photo
3: close back
4: everifing is fix
Method 2
Instead of pulling up thouse pin ,use a soldering iron and put some soldering on the spot where pins touch the antena .
THIS WORKS BECOUSE AFTER THAT THE CONNECTOR APLY MORE PRESURE TO ANTENA AND NOW THE CIRCUIT IS COMPLETE
Hope this will fix all your problem with GPS, WIFI, Signal

I will attach a few screen shots with GPS test results after i fix the antena.
I will mentioned the sky was clowdly and it was raining
I m not responsible if anything happens with your personal phone
This method worked perfectely for me
Excellent - this is the only thing that actually fixes this hardware issue.
I follwed your tutorial. Bought a pack of 5 plectrums off EBay for 99p to open the HOX like you did in the video.
Best 99p ever spent.
A lot better than sending phone away for 2 weeks only to hope it may be fixed.
Took 5 minutes, did it myself and don't lose all your data like you do sending it to HTC.
As I mentioned in another post, I had given up hope on my GPS, but didn't want to send off my One X due to root, custom ROM and stories of long waits without the phone actually being fixed.
This fix worked perfectly for me.
If you are having GPS problems and have the nerve, I suggest you try this.
Gabrielvl, thanks again.

Didn't really notice a difference for me (HTC One X Intl) and on top of that, i broke a wifi pin and damaged a network pin....
All seems to be working (GPS is still a bit weird), does anyone know if wifi will work properly on one pin and network on a slightly damaged pin?

You can try to soldering a wire from brocken pin to antena. If u can do that your problem will be fix. I know for sure becouse a friend happening the same like you and he fix with a wire
I dont have a soldering iron and i'm not gonna buy one just for a pin. I havent noticed any wifi problems, I still connect to 2.4GHz and 5Ghz and speed is still the same and with the network, its on 1 or 2 bars but i am inside and it usually is on that anyway and the GPS is not fixed, if anything, worse. But again, i am inside.

If it would work properly on one pin, thew would only have one pin to start with.

Soldering wires is not a good solution, they will act as antennae, which are a specific length tuned to the desired frequency.
Outside the gps was pretty good, the wifi is only one one pin and i notice no difference. GPS gets about 20 inside (used to be about 25-30) and outside i get about 35-40 (same).

OH GOD GUYS PLEASE STOP this is the same thing that I saw back in the Desire HD forums, and it ended poorly for pretty much everyone.
Do NOT try this unless you are out of warranty, the GPS antenna connectors are VERY thin and VERY weak, and it is VERY easy to SNAP them!

You are right..,is not a easy job to do. I manage to do that becouse i have some experience with hardware,and i know wend to STOP ,not pulling to much...

Hello,
i registered to this forum to thank you.
My GPS what not working at all from months. I did exactly what you descibe and it's now OK.
I must warn everibody because opening (and reclosing) a HTC One X is very touchy. So do it only with experience. At a moment i was thinking i would have to buy a new HTC but a manage to reclose it properly.
Bye !

Wich rom you use? Stock? Custom?
I tried toggling it on after the 4.1.2 update, but it won't let me the upgrade was done through OTA and carrier is Fido. Same thing with Bluetooth. It just toggles back to off on it's own.
Any help or suggestions? I'm thinking of restoring it to factory. I'm enquiring for my mom's boyfriend. He does have SuperSU installed but I don't think it's rooted because I'm pretty sure he won't know how to do that. Could this be causing the program?
He's thinking about going back to the iPhone which in my opinion would be a huge mistake after witnessing the note 2 for power myself haha.
Just tried doing a Factory Reset to no avail. Still toggling from on (for a brief second) back to off.

Yeah that was going to be my next step, but then downloading the Firmware is going to take forever. I am thinking about flashing a Custom ROM so it will remove the bloatware with it. I'll update the thread when I get a chance.
EDIT: I was so smart yesterday that I flashed Stock Restore by accident and now I have to use someone's computer to flash CWM back into it or Unroot the phone...It was such a dumb mistake.........
Very well known to me issue...
1. Never attempt to undervolt Note 2, especially on low clocks. Don't play with RedPill kernel. Use stock, Adam or Perseus.
2. Flash stock 4.1.2
3. Shutdown, remove SIM, battery and SD card.
4. Press and hold the Power button for 30+ seconds (I used a full minute).
5. Insert the battery only, power on and try to enable BT and WiFi.
6. If succeeded - shutdown, insert SIM & SD, reassembly and power on. Verify again.
If not... you may try again or go to servicemen.
7. Later you can flash a custom ROM but beware of kernels and especially undervolt.
P.S. My old trusty Motorola Atrix doesn't like undervolt too. It looses BT...
Thanks man. It is super weird though because I don't think he had it rooted and I checked the Kernel that he had installed it showed it was the stock kernel. I will keep that in mine. I was also wondering and this maybe a newbie question. But n7100 can only flash stock n7100 4.1.2? I just find downloading the firmware will take forever.
Thanks for all your help guys. Will jeep you both updated.

Same Problem with WIfi and Bluetooth
I experienced the Same issue sometimes when i removed my battery i can turn on my WiFi and Bluetooth but after a couple of days the Wifi and Bluetooth can't turn on again. Anyone already fixed this issue?
The back cover serves as the Wifi antenna. When you open the back lid, the two gold prongs on the upper right are the connections to the back cover (antenna). Make sure the contacts are clean and the back lid is attached completely. When insufficient contact is established, wifi will not turn on.

This is NFS antenna. Seems having nothing to do with GHz range internal antennas.
Anyway will do no harm to have it properly attached.

Same problem over here
My problem has been on going since I bought thee damn thing
I bought it from someone for $500 back in April. The guy I bought it from must have been some sort of genius or something because every freaking repair place and computer places, in Tulsa, OK, have absolutely no idea what the guy that I bought it from did! I remember it had a custom ROM I think it was Jedix..sorry I am a noob and a girl at that :/
I have spent countless hours reading forum after forum to no avail.
So the guy that I bought it from asked me if I wanted regular 3g/4g speeds and wifi or fast internet speeds everywhere and no wifi. I, assuming that I could easily just turn wifi back on with the flip on the button, told him that I wanted fast internet and no wifi. I get home and try to flip wifi back on and nothing! Also no bluetooth. I was in contact with the guy that I bought it from and he did try to walk me through turning the wifi/bluetooth back on. He said it was simple..He had me wipe the cache, wipe the kernel, something to do with qual comm settings..blah blah I do not remember because it was months ago and so many things have been done to it since then. I shortly lost contact with him. If I am within 2 feet away from my router I can pick up great wifi but 3 feet away or further I am s.o.l. I can pick up a real weak connection in public places like my college or a hospital. I have paid every phone repair place and computer store here in Tulsa to try to fix it. They all do the same thing, just restore it with the exception of the last place that I took it to..they tried to but an older version on it thinking wifi/bluetooth had something to do with version it was on.
Please do not tell me that this is a hardware issue!- I have read countless forums and have read that I am not alone with this issue. It does however not look promising because I have never read of anyone fixing this issue. I have read things about it being the radio etc etc. I firmly believe that this is a software/programming issue however the people that I have seen this happen to never got it fixed..they eventually just gave up and bought new motherboards or new phones entirely. With that being said a motherboard could be a possibility..any ideas on how much a new motherboard cost? Sorry for being sooo long I am just so frustrated. This is such a beautiful phone and I have never gotten to fully take advantage of all of its capabilities because of this.
WIFI Bluetooth fix
Hello, I´ve also tried everything software related to no avail. So I finally disassembled the device as shown in videos found on youtube or elsewhere.
Google it!!
Reconnected the wifi chip. Turned the the device on and....wifi and bluetooth worked strongly!!! That fixed it for me!!
To be clear: I just took the screws and the plastic piece that covers the motherboard (Bee careful and patient and use the right tools!!). Then disconnected and reconnected the connector of the wifi chip, which is located right next to the lower volume button, on the board. It´s the only cable showing.
I´ve seen this problem on laptops, because of overheatin issues related to bad mainboard design, but I cannot be sure in this case without further testing.
I´ll see how long this fix lasts and I´ll keep posting.

Hello all,
Oh what fun I have had with this phone since I have had it. It now looks like I have this "Squeeze problem". I have verified against another one x and the BT range is literally 200% / 300% better than mine (running RC4 cyanogen).
I have suffered from horrific WIFI and BT since I got the phone, my nokia e5 has been my daily driver as it lets me use my sbh 20 headset without holding the phone next to my headset.
I have called HTC and they tell me they will take the phone but might charge me due to the fact that I unlocked my bootloader (which was done to improve my wifi and battery drain - hohum)
This was the last straw. After seeing that the new HTC one has already been S-Offed - and we still have nothing. I am really wondering why I bought this device.
But alas - I still want to use it to watch movies and surf at work - so I want to get the antenna sorted - but after watching the video I am not really thinking I want to do the procedure my self.
I CERTAINLY do not want to pay HTC money to repair their bad handy work.
Is there anyone on here that lives in London that would be willing to do the repair for me?
Of course I will pay. I cant even sell it like this as it just sucks to use it. Wifi drops every min etc.
Thanks all!
Lol I don't think anyone would want to be responsible for breaking your phone.
But really, just take your time while opening it gently, you might notice that the back is completely glued in (like mine). Just shove a guitar pick inside to scrap it all slowly off. I was extremely scared as well when I first opened it, but it becomes a piece of cake afterwards.

My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I sent it back to HTC UK with the exact wifi problem. They repaired it without a problem. The same for my mate who also sent his back with a custom rom still on it. Unless they can prove that unlocking the bootloader caused the fault they have to accept the warranty.
The bottom line is the wifi issue is a known hardware design fault that cannot be affected by unlocking and flashing roms.

Hello Guys,
I dropped my phone in the washer for less than a minute and its screwed right now ! I kinda got it working ! The screen turns on and i can get into the recovery. But it doesn't boot up to the ROM. I am on VIPER ROM. I have already tried resetting the device. I re-flashed the ROM as well without any errors. But the phone doesn't go past the loading screen .
I am extremely dissapointed and i cannot afford a new toy. I cannot send it to HTC, the watermark damage is already done. I have opened up the device, cleaned all the contact ribbons or flex cable as well. Still the same problem. Please advice guys ! Is the mother board broken ? it doesnt make sense cause the ROM installs fine. I did plug it into the computer in recovery and got all my data out. Yes i am SOFF as well. What are my options here guys .
Best Regards

I'd agree to return to stock (RUU if one is available for your version) and if the phone still doesn't boot, you probably have a hardware failure.

I waited over a month, tried everything, RUU etc, etc... Still not working. If i Install a new ROM, it says everything is installed, but stays in the boot screen till the battery dies ! Any help ?

Did the RUU actually install completely, or any errors? What was the result when trying to restart after RUU install?
Some folks have had varying results with smartphones damaged by water, by taking them apart and cleaning contacts carefully with isopropyl alcohol or similar products. But its very possible the issue is cause by corrosion in a location you won't be able to access.

Hey !
Thanks for the reply, I never got any errors with installing the RUU ! or anything i install from the fastboot goes very well. No issues at all. But once i reboot to the software, it just stays in the bootscreen. My phone was the sense version, after trying multiple RUU i decided to go to dev edition, and it installed no problem ! i could see the google edition logo and everything
Now regarding corrosion, I had taken the device apart and cleaned it a month ago with iso alcohol ! The only thing i noticed was a slight corrosion on the flex cable contact, which i promptly cleaned. The flex cable was the top right hand side on the motherboard !
Thanks
Matt
If RUUs install but don't boot, I have to conclude its a hardware failure caused by the water damage.
Since you've dried it out and cleaned with alcohol, I don't think there is much else that can be done.

I am afraid so, so much money spent on this phone! My first and best HTC phone i had to date ! I am on Note 4 now, not bad but i really miss swiping feature to open custom app while on sleep ! That was probably the best invention ever for customization. Its like i need this app right now, i just swipe the screen this way and i am in the app ! If i can get another HTC m8 for under 150 i am game lol
