My girlfriend owns this phone, and put it on her dresser overnight. In the morning she found it in the exact same position, but there was a crack going horizontal along the screen, causing the bottom half to not work.
How does a phone crack like that overnight without being touched?
She claims that when using this phone that it often gets extremely hot to the touch when plugged in. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I've read that it is some kind of defect caused by heating and cooling cycles. or it could be that the battery itself puffed up and cracked your screen.
This Gorrila Glass fibre has these dealbreaker issues, it mostly happens due to the following reason : Upon gaming and/or charging, the upper half may get extremely hot and the lower half remains normal and takes relatively more time compared to the upper half to change its temperature. This regional temperature difference when sufficiently high causes tension and it gets cracked. DO NOT keep the phone at cool surface when it gets hot, heat is NOT the culprit, but the temperature difference is. You may keep it on soft cloth or a relatively warm place in future.

Well,i noticed some odd behavior the other day with my phone laying on my desk at work. It was completely unresponsive. So I was just fooling around, laying the phone on my bed, same thing. I realized that unless my other hand is touching the phone, the screen is unresponsive. Think this is some sort of grounding issue? It isn't a big deal, but I have never had this problem on other phones. Anyone else have this problem? Try sitting it flat on a desk without touching the body of the phone and see if the touch screen functions.

Dont quote me on this but i read on how touch screens work and it basicly like you said the screen has a charge and when you touch it it slightly changes the charge and thats how the cpu monitors the change and tells the screen to act the way it does. But i am not sure why the screen gets less responsive when your not holding it in your hand. It happens with my G2 and my G1 so nothing new but maybe some one can actually explain what is going on.
Fear the static
The answer is quite simple; it's cooler outside so there is less humidity in the air. With lower humidity you have a higher static charge on your body (hence why you can zap someone more easily in the winter than the summer). Since the screen is capacitive (relies on small changes in the charge on the top surface to know where you are touching it) and you have a larger charge on your body, the digitizer sees it more like you bringing three or four fingers in close proximity to one spot. The reason putting both hands on it works is because you now give the digitizer a reference charge to distinguish and ignore.
TL;DR - Winter static makes screen think you are ham-fisting it.
Solution - use hand lotion to help dissipate your body's static charge from your fingertips, just don't use so much that you end up leaving greasy streaks on your screen. If you do, wipe the excess off of your hands with paper towels until you don't have lint tracks in your hand, TP is good for this.

U smart as hell thanks
Makes sense. Weird I never noticed before. Good deal.

I can confirm this "issue" or behavoir. It happened to my phone exactly like u described. I dont know if this is a common thing for capacitive devices or not but it does happen to me.
Oh well, i guess i should stop being lazy and pick up my phone lol.

I 2nd that statement and a +1 on solution with lotion! lol
Now i will begin to tell my gf how the Screen isnt HEAT sensitive and why during the winter time with cold hands it responds differently.
i did notice this behavior the other day, and to be perfectly honest it scared the tar out of me, but then as soon as i picked the phone up it was fine again. i guess you really do learn something new every day, i always thought the capacitive screen reacted to heat, but i guess not.

****, do I have to go buy hand lotion now? Anyway, thanks a lot.
Does all capasitive screens react like this are some phones just more prone to it?
Hey guys I have installed Battery Monitor and my phone is reporting too high temperatures when browsing internet - 42° C.
I played Qosmos on charger and temperature was 47°C. I am really disappointed with battery solution of HOX.
so, what are dangerous temperatures for our phone? I saw someone reported 55.. doest it damage battery?

No worry, mine went up to 63.8 °C. It is still working now...
More info @ HTC One X overheat up to 63.8 °C

yep most likely caused by overheat
50 and the clocks go down, 70 and the phone shuts itself off. My temps are basicly always +50 if im playing something or the phone is charging. Playing and charging rises the temps anywhere between 50 and 70... Just recovered from overheating shutdown, so yeah, overheating is indeed present with the ONE X...
Even browsing it gets hot, seems that stock browser heats more than dolphin, but I have to test it further. Temp+CPU shows 40C.

did you notice any gap between screen and metal lining on left side? some people said overheat may cause gap on it..

Now that you should mention it, i can definitely fit my fingernail between the body and the screen glass without any forcing or anything, resulting the case bending and it feels quite as i could just snap the glass off anytime i wanted. The glass also makes creaking noises, especially the bottom part. Scary stuff. Both sides of the screen and bottom corners show some flexing (disortion on the screen when medium pressure is applied) as well.
Beginning to reconsider whether my HOX is pristine or not, or could even the design of the model be flawed.
Good thing there is such thing as warranty.

yes it will be hard to put our hands on this
screen flex is associated with temps, its just not happening to all people depending on their usage and the state it come with out of box
if its hardware trait i can live with it but i prefer to have the flex on top of the screen rather than the sides lol
ill order HOX with screen flex on top lol
I was playing two flash videos yesterday on 3G and some surfing which was about 20 mins my battery before surfing was 40% by the time I realise how hot my phone was it dropped to 11%!!!!
I began to feel the phone get hot on both screen and back was so hot it almost burnt my finger. I understand T3 can get hot but not to the point of temperate of a hot kettle.
Setting the governor to Powersave only uses 2 CPU and save heat by alot even playing games. I use conservative, only uses 2 CPU mostly and its similar to on demand

i had this defect out of box on my first HOX never knew if it was caused by overheat but definitely it was imperfect out of box then screen was so loose you feel you want to pull it out
now ill test the new one which has no lamination imperfections so far
slowly though ill let the glue settle for a week first before starting the heavy stuff

good luck hamdir.. i read some of your post/comment regarding build quality and all this issue.. personally i think it take a lot of hope and belief that you'll get exactly what you want.. mine has gap as well but not so serious.. i think i can live with that and as long as it not getting widen.. except for this and some screen flex, my HOX has no problem..
My HOX is running around 38C on ARHD 3.1

is it downclockable yet?
anyway i'm definitely rooting this time
not taking any risks
CPU temperatuur
Is it also possible to measure the cpu temperature? I can only find the battery temperature. The highest temperature I measured was around 45* degrees. Sometimes the phone gets very hot in the right top corner. I have noticed at the left side of the phone there's a little gap, not so big that I could put my finger nail into it, but big enough for dust. At the top the gap between and the body is big enough for me to put my fingernail between the body and the screen, as far as I know that gap was there when I get the phone.
Anyway, I'll stick to this phone, if no dust gets underneath the screen I'm happy the way it is! I love this phone very much!! can't live without it!
My phone seems to get hot. The highest has been over 50C but it gets to over 45C when just browsing the internet with stock browser and not plugged in. This is with the newest 1.29.402.11 firmware
Is this normal for this phone?
just curious about something my note 8 did. it was in a cold environment around 25 degrees F. when I went to use it, the screen lit up but it was all jumbled up. After it warmed up for a couple minutes the screen came up normal. Just wondering if this is something that would be expected or could I have done some damage? it is working fine now but just want to make sure this does not screw me after the return date
has expired.
thanks
My primary concern about getting a device like this cold would be damage to the battery, lcd, and any condensation cause by bringing the device from a cold to warmer environment.
lcd's can typicaly withstand below zero conditions before having any issues so that probably wasn't a problem
It likely wasnt cold long enough to do any damage to the battery and I'm not confident that that temperature is low enough to have an effect on it anyway.
I would say if it seems to be running fine now then it's probably fine. But if it's going to have you concerned go ahead and exchange it. When I got my note2 the bezel had a slight creak to it and the glass didn't seem to be quite straight on close examination. It bothered me just enough to take it back to the store and trade it for a new one.
My HTC One (M8) started to have flickering screen issues a few days back, sometimes the screen wouldn't turn on, occasionally it would turn on, but it was barely noticeable, because the backlight didn't turn on. I realized that slightly bending (no extreme force, of course) would influence the behavior: Top left, bottom right as pressure points makes the screen work, top right, bottom left makes it stop working. Similarly applying pressure on the sides (the middle of the lower half, roughly) makes the screen not work. It looks like it might just be a loose connection somewhere? Anybody have a tip for what to do about it?
And now the screen doesn't turn on at all anymore. I guess that was expected. I googled around a bit and it seems like the company doing repairs for HTC in Austria is shady and known for blaming things on mechanical or water damage (the phone fell down, but that was about six month ago, and except for a few scratches on the metal nothing happened).
Does anyone have an idea if this might just be a loose contact somewhere that I could fix by myself?
Hi, since I got up this morning the screen of my Note 10.1 has a white halo on it.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? New screens sadly cost double what a used note 10.1 would cost, but maybe its just a loose connector?
Its flickering and getting worse the more contrast it has to display.
Anyone have seen something like this before
That must be a mechanical defect. Probably someone sat or laid in the Note. One of the two glass plates or the rear polarizer have been bent in a concave ir convex shape.
Can also be caused by excessive heat, like on the small lcd in my car dashboard, where a similar phenomenon has started to occur more and more often and in a more severe manner recently, caused by sun exposure and the car's heater and disapperaing when cooling down.
Or delamination of the gapless touchscreen. Now there is a gap on the outsides.
Thx for the reply. I have the tablet hanging on the wall, using it as an interface for my home assistant, so the screen is on pretty much 24/7.
Therefore i can't really imagine that there was too much pressure on the screen at any time and heating up could've maybe happened if it locked up during the night, but that hasn't really happend ever and in the morining it was running just normal, except for the screen. The sun can't really get to it either.
Well good thing is the problem fixed itself. The affected area started getting smaller and smaller and the effect also lessend over time. About 2-3 days it took.
Maybe there was some moisture inside it or something idk
Something had snapped or bent from and then back into shape.
I'd suggest that it was heat related, bootlooping while charging,probably.
I could trace such with the history of my battery monitor app(complete with temps and for as long as i set the the range), but the course graph of the system battery monitor could have have provided hints, too. But that's long gone now.
My very first Android device was a tablet, that once too many went into a bootloop. During charging AND during the time of the exploding Galaxy Notes. The whole surface (metal and glass) had the same temperature, no more hotspots, and was almost too hot to touch(50c at least).
I'm not sure whether the screen was discolored, there was only the small boot logo on black, but i immediately threw the thing into the bin outside, display still glowing in the dark.
This is really dangerous when the device is connected to the mains and the surroundings not fire resistant.
In the meantime the battery of my P605 started to blow up.
Middle of backside and even touchscreen are bent outwards.
But the display is still fine, though this kind of malfunction could happen to me later.
Will get a replacement battery. The original one from 2013 still has more than 50% capacity, but is much thicker now...
