Is the screen faulty? - HTC One X

My friends One X's screen is acting like it should not - when the phone heats up, it becomes unresponsive in one corner, to be more exact, the place where the gas pedal is located in GTA3. Is it a warranty-repair?

Can he use the gas button without steering? And when he steers, he can no loger press it?
I've had this problem with vice city. It would go away after a restart of the phone. Don't know if this is the same issue. But from time to time it came back, but atleast it's gone for me now. See if a restart helps with the problem.

If you can use the gas pedal without stearing, try unmarking the HTC gestures thing in settings -> Display, gestures & buttons.
I have had a lot of problems with the multitouch before disabling the gestures option. It sometimes didnt even recognise 2 finger touches.
You can try some apps to test your multitouch. However the problem could be in the GTA if you use a pirate version.

[Q] screen going crazy

My girlfriends rooted dinc is going nuts.. the screen will shift from the home screen to the far left and stick there, plus if ur typing a message the keyboard will freeze up and cant do anything, have to do a batt pull. if your on internet or lookign to crop a picture, when u pinch the screen to zoom in, it sticks and then will not un pinch. then freezes up again.. really gets agravating. My dinc (knck on wood) has never had this problem and i had it set up just like hers is.. i have tried to c if diff roms may help and still same problems occur. any ideas on what i can do to resolve this?

Pons is right, typically that is a condition caused by a dirty trackball.

[Q] Touchscreen unresponsive at times

When I'm using my ARC, sometimes the touchscreen is unresponsive. For example, when I'm playing Fruit Ninja, sometimes the touchscreen does not respond at all. I thought it was a problem with the game. Then same thing happened with Cut the Rope. It happens when I'm clicking on the screen, not a problem with swiping. At first, I was still in denial, thinking that it has to do with the games. Then when I'm using the camera, the freaking phone is unresponsive again for like 3-4 seconds (multiple times). What is going on?? Anybody facing the same problem?
This usually happen when you are low in RAM. Try reboot the phone, it usually fixes the lag for me.
At my arc, sometimes touchscreen get a finger press blocked on right-bottom corner. I have to lock and unlock the phone to make it disapear. It happens on both stock rom and CyanogenMod
Mine has also started doing this quite often. It seems like the screen is registering a finger input that isn't actually happening. When this happens to me, one area of the screen becomes unusable until i lock and unlock the phone.
yup you have to reboot and it will be a long one!

So it's a general problem ? Hopefully a software one....
Have had this several times, but not often enough to annoy me.
Maybe once every two weeks, and I just wait and it sorts itself.

Seems like we're not the only ones with this problem. Could it be a hardware issue?

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone. Does it void my warranty? Do I have to lock my bootloader and unroot my phone so that I can send it in for repair??
man...after surfing around for problems with the arc...seems like this phone is packed with problems...the screen problem, the case cracking, etc...what is going on?

Unlock opening dialer

Getting quite annoyed with this now. About half the time when I unlock my HOX by pulling the ring up, it launches into the dialer instead of the launcher. I thought I might have been accidentally dragging the quick launch icon, but just tested it about 20 times to make sure, and I can drag the ring anywhere on screen, after the quick launch bar has faded and it still happens.
This happening for anyone else?

Unlocking the phone brings you to the last open activity. If you lock your phone after using the dialer, you'll unlock it on the dialer. (Un)locking is not like pressing Home.

I know that. It does this no matter my last open app
this thing happen to me when i charging my phone.. my guess its has something to do with HOX screen sensitivity when on charging status..
yeah it seems related to the touch sensitivity issue when charging, mine does this occasionally.
Happens to me too. I think it has to do with bad coding and unfinished software. My previous phone was Dedire and never had any problems with it. But I'm very dissapointed with the hox. It seems as if it was built with only one thing in mind, get it oit before samsung. Bad move in terms of quality

just a follow up, not near a mains charger at the moment, and can't seem to reproduce when charging from PC.
Is everyone having it launch the dialer, and if so, do you all have the dialer as your first quicklaunch app?
Will be fiddling with this issue later on, because it's just weird
I noticed this when I first got this phone, I just moved the Dialer icon elsewhere on the Dock and it never happened again, strange but a non issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775638
Pls read the above thread, just posted my theory there for this issue, its probably about time we start a proper thread for this issue.
I'm sure this is related to the charging issue, the charging problem screws up the touch's on the screen, which is why the phone app seemlingly appears randomly

[Q] Screen Glitching, unable to unlock etc.

Hi,
I am experiencing some really strange problems with my phone. I have a 2-month-old HTC one X. I have never dropped it, it has never been in contact with any fluids or damp areas, also I have never tried to unlock and/or root it. It started two weeks ago. The screen started glitching and behaving weird. Sometimes it would stay for an hour, sometimes it was just a few seconds.
(sadly I cant post outside links, but if you search youtube on "HTC one X screen glitch" and than scroll down you will see a video uploaded by DjStasV. Thats what it looks like. But instead of only glitching on a small portion on the screen it was always the whole screen.
But now, it has gone one step further. Sometimes my phone won't unlock if I press the on/off key. The soft keys light up, but the screen doesn't. I can even get called, the phone will ring and vibrate, but I can not pickup because the screen doesn't turn on. For some reason it sometimes does unlock, but I have not been able to discover a reason for that. Also when I manage to unlock it, it sometimes just freezes (the screen). The phone still works (it rings, the notification LED works, it vibrates), but the screen is just frozen. (also a reboot by holding the power button does not work 9/10 times)
I am hoping someone will recognize this problem, and maybe even know how to solve it. Thanks in advance

Thats impressive, air is a fluid.
It sounds like a hardware fault.

In common usage, "fluid" is often used as a synonym for "liquid". But ofcourse, you are right
OT: Thanks for the quick responses, I will check at the nearest HTC service center then

soft buttons? reboots?

Just got this and love it but two questions
After the firmware update I noticed the tab rebooted itself twice just sitting overnight. I know this because my tabs and phones are set to ask for my code to boot the OS. It didnt happen the next two days so should I be worried about this or was it just more update reboots? I know android always asks before reboots but maybe google was being sneaky.
The soft button placement annoys the F*** OUT OF ME!
I hate having them on the bottom corners and want them back in the middle like EVERY OTHER ANDROID DEVICE!
Is there a way to position these back to center so I can feel at home again?
thanks
You like them in the center so they're harder to reach when holding it? Lol
The only way I know to change the location is to root it, install Xposed and then Gravity Box.

There are in fact multiple "possible spontaneous reboot"-sources even in the stock kernel; I'm trying to fix them all, Pokemon-style, in my custom kernel. V3-RC5 seems to be absolutely solid so far. If that's your thing, anyway.

Just bugs in various drivers. Quite unspectacular, but problematic.

This is a pretty beefy tablet to hold one handed, also having the buttons in the center would make it harder to use one-handed IMO since you would have to stretch to the center instead of the edge to press a button. To each his own I guess.
I also get random reboots. I've only had the thing for three hours, and aside from the three system updates (the latest to N2), it's rebooted seven times. Nine times, actually - two were caused by connecting an Xbox One pad, which I guess it doesn't like. The other seven were just random.
On the other hand, I really like the softkey placement. It reminds me of TabletUI, which I really loved and hated that Google took it away.

Piecontrol... Barely used the normal buttons ever
i had two reboots the first day after updating to the 2nd n preview, but they've since stopped. those were the only two i've ever had.
also, i think you may be the exception as far as buttons go. most tablet users hated the buttons in the middle since we naturally hold it by the sides or bottom corners. you must have huge hands to be able to hold this thing on handed.
Considering that there's a giant piece of screen real estate dedicated to three buttons which are either in the middle or grouped at both ends, I can't see a good reason not to have all three buttons at both ends.
It makes sense to me that if the placement is important enough that Google would change it then it should also be customizable. I miss the old customization on some 4.4/5.0 ROMs where you could just add anything you want. I'd settle for the long press to switch to the last app.
I'm trying to find a way to place all soft buttons in one corner of my Nexus 9. Though i'm on CM13 it doesn't seem to have such an option for back/home/recent buttons.
I like pixel c buttons position
I've also got problems with the random reboots. To track the reboots I've installed the free app Boot Logs. So far, there were 7 reboots today. This problem occured after installing the may OTA update. Flahing back to the april update helps but is no permanent solution. The june update isn't helping either (according to people in this forum/thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/i7e4gsZxzEQ). I've contacted Google and will get a replacement - hopefully without this problem
