So this was originally discovered by Hassan89, so I'm just posting it here.
WHAT IS IT?
Well, have you ever experienced bad quality sound from your One X's speaker grill, the one you use in calls? Or have you ever had dust trapped in there? The toothbrush mod comes to the rescue!
HOW DO I DO IT?
Simply grab a dry toothbrush, and rub the bristles against the grill a few times (make sure they go into the holes too)
You can even use this to clean your back speakers!

INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks to ViktorN for this
First you should put your phone into fastboot, connect it to the pc, run adb and first type "fastboot apply paste colgate.pst" and then "adb reboot brushmode". Note: If you use a different paste, then type the name of it in front of the .pst extension. Hope I was of assistance!
PS: if you still havent realized, while this actually is helpful, the reviews and instructions are meant as a joke. Facepalm yourself if you actually tried fastboot apply past Colgate.pst xD
Does it still work if I unlock the bootloader ?
Ooops, I didn't quite read the 'dry' toothbrush bit of the instructions & now my speaker is all clogged up with toothpaste residue...... Going to ring HTC in the morning to see if it's covered under the warranty

How frequently should this be done? Just wondering if I should carry around one or two in my pocket.
And I'm making sure that they go into the holes.
Can I use whitening toothpaste too? Really do like the look of the white One X

Ok so im so sick of HTC. My friend has a SGS3 and it came with a toothbrush. We need to sign a petition once and for all for HTC to supply us with toothbrushes.
I took mine back to a repair centre and they said because I unlocked the bootloader they wouldn't brush my speakers.
I saw on another forum, a guy in China is offering a brushing service for fee, you just need to send the phone to him. He'll do s-off or something too apparently.

sorry very new here and want to know how do we wait for the s-off? is that something similar to like cf-root kernels that root the samsung phones...sorry i am trying to get as much info as i can before i do anything, which by the looks of it will not be for a very long time yet

We need to wait for a tool to allow us to S-OFF, so we can reverse it if going back to stock. Then it's similar to galaxy we can flash via CWM.

It could take a while to get s-off. Someone needs to find their way through the new security protecting the radio to change the flag. It is possible, it's just a question of time. I also am waiting for s-off. Not rooted yet.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
Yeps rooted ..
if i dont root my phone i cant do anything
As other poster says it just allows us to go back stock for warranty etc and it makes the process safer as such. Then its exactly like galaxy cwm and roms
ahh cool thanks guys...to be honest so far phone is running smooth and already disabled most of the crap from the phone anyway...although i must admit i am already missing my TB and other rooted apps. oh well this is like a whole new adventure.
Better wait and be safe than do something stupid..What about the htcdev.com is no one thinking about doing it that method?
Forget that method as there are certain warranty issues arising if you use the tool, read the thread in development with user comments which go into detail. Wait for revolutionary

Still no root for me... and personally I don't see any issue to unlock my device with HTCDev's online tool.
HTC can anyway recognize if an eventual problem is an hardware fault or something caused by custom software ran on the device.
I can't hear anything rattling on my One X.

Send it back, rattling is never a good sign.
I wouldn't unlock/root my phone with the HTCDev, they can use that against you if you ever encounter issues. Even when the rooting isn't the cause of the problem, if they say it is: are you going to start a lawsuit because of it ? No. So you are practically defenseless.

Not to be rude or something, but the bar is just made of plastic, so it will scratch.
For me, a phone is something that i'm using several times a day. I'm taking it with me to every place i go and treat or mistreat it according to my current condition. Every f. day.
So yes, if i look closely, there are scratches.
And no, i dont think yo will be able to polish them away.
You might be able to replace the thing altogether, there's a dissasembly guide floating around here at xda.
My personal advice would be to just deal with it. Its not worth a second thought, just use the time to enjoy your life

have picture have truth!
by the way, there are two, i would say they are dusts in my xperia s illumination bar...
I found some intresting files in sys/ directory that could help me in this project but i need some some comments about it and im not sure about that the front and back camera will have this feature i appriciate every help i get
The HOX has HTC's own image chip that is capable in taking RAW picture but i think htc f***ed it up again so the RAW picture mode landed in the Developer partition of the Device so now my Project is to implement it again. The negative thing is just the htc album has no codec for RAW Pics so you have to use a third party app then :/
Examples:
-Android_Camera 2
-sys/modules/rawchip
sys/devices/virtual/rawchip/rawchip0
*there is an other file im searching in the sys developer partition

I still believe in HOX for Development
Sounds good but like many said HOX is not anymore * attractive device * for developers , we're lucky that we had great kernel devs and rom devs, infact we had best rom devs , sucha are richmond which made probably the most advanced sense rom ever in the history of XDA. Anyway the idea sounds good but requires some time , and by the time you manage to do it there will be only few left to use it or care for it.
Anyway i wish you all the best and best of luck into making this happen since i love my hox too much to sell it but still got me One.
