Does HTC use panels from different manufacturers? Because I have two HOX right now, and I can see a BIG difference between the screens. One of them have much warmer colors and is at the same time brighter and have better viewing angels. Or can it really differ that much between screens with the same panel?
Anyway, will test if they have the same screen on time, and if they are made in different countries.
And finally here is some shots I took. The difference shows more IRL then the pics but atleast you can see there IS a difference.
Edit: I have now checked last_kmsg on both phones, and there are indeed two different panels! The warmer one have panel_id=0x294000f while the colder one have the same as some in this thread, panel_id=0x4940014...

drying glue perhaps?
Can you tell us the serial numbers on each one? It should be ht23 or ht24

It always happens with devices from HTC. There is a thread in Sensation forum for the same. There were two types of screens used for sensation(mainly) One from Acer and another sharp if i remember correctly. The Sharp made had yellow tint and less vivid. While Acer LCD had vivid but more of them had ghosting problems. You can check the Panel type in devices using same method i beleive.

Nah, don't think so cuz the one with warmer screen was the test phone at the store and they have both been used ALOT since coming home. Have had them more than a week now.

How annoying, I hate products where it is a lottery if you get a good or bad panel.. And unfortunately there isn't anything about panel_id in dmesg on the One X. Anyone know another way to check, aside from taking it apart?
I have also seen that difference in display color, now I have my 2nd ONE X
same thing for me, first device was white with vivid color, 2nd is yellow with worse colors.
Also the serial number from my ONE X Grey starts with H23 and is made in Taiwan
Bugger! How is one supposed to know if they have an inferior display if you don't have another model to compare it with?
Just out of interest have you had any of the display issues that have been posted in the numerous threads on either display?
BTW, i was/am using Screen Adjuster to adjust the screen tone to my tastes. Its not a solution, however better than none. I didn't test it with my HOX yet. Should work.
Any of these has flex or flickering?

The colder one doesn't look as close to the surface as the warmer one...maybe it's not laminated properly?

Yeah, the warmer one have had it ONE singel time, but it felt like a software glitch, with it "moving" the whole screen, so to speak. And both ofc have that problem with the notification bar, but that I know is software. Other than that I haven't seen any problems, yet.

Could be, but IRL I can't really see any difference in proximity to the surface. And would that really make the viewing angels worse? Because the cold one get noticeable darker from the sides while with the warm one you barely notice any difference.
I got a gray one on Friday and a white one today thinking I'd prefer white. The display on the gray one is startlingly perfect. I mean like “OMG, look at that display” perfect. The white one's not as bright and is a lot warmer and looks dull in comparison. They’re both fine and neither flicker or have any of the other discussed screen issues. Oh well, the gods obviously want me to have a gray phone.
It's hilarious how there is a thread like this for EVERY single new phone released.
Just enjoy the damn phone and stop worrying about if you have the "inferior" screen. It's sad really.
my wife's and mine are diff too. mine is little more yellowish but when you did not put side by side you wont notice it.
btw the minor screen flicker is kernel issue with tegrak 3...TF prime had this issue much worst off + multitask screen tearing than one x, currently itz just being solved with latest firmware's kernel.

Do you go from forum to forum creating posts like this in response? If so, it's sad really.
These aren't cheap devices and of all the parts of the phone the display is probably the most important because you'll be staring at it for a year or more. I don't blame people for wanting the best example of the display they can have or *****ing because there's such a broad disparity between them from device to device. If manufacturer's QC and tolerances were better threads like this wouldn't need to exist.
OMG my white one look yellow like that pic
singtel one
I noticed another thing with the colder one, there are some weird vertical lines in the screen. They are only visible in certain lighting conditions, like if you reflect it at your computer screen. Haven't seen that on any other phone. Haven't had the chans to check the warm one yet. I'll report back then.
Hi guys,
I know the focus, and white balance issues have been discussed to death, but I believe this is a new one. I apologize if it has been posted before but I haven't seen anybody mention this in the other thread - I wonder if this is just specific to my handset?
Though, I *think* I remember seeing the exact same thing happening to all the HTC HD2s when they were first released.
Anyways, here is a no-flash picture of the top of a styrofoam takeout box. I've used creative studio to bump up "color boost" a little bit to accentuate the abberation. See the pink circle in the middle? That's not there IRL..
http://i.imgur.com/1mN9c.jpg
Is this just a defect isolated to my handset? Mine was a non-greendot box, black, bought from the valley fair microsoft retail store in santa clara, ca. I'm looking at other photos and don't see this pink halo, but it only seems to show up on my handset in low-light / dark or nighttime indoor situations.. this one was taken just a day before: http://www.kertong.com/wpblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/WP_000024.jpg . This one doesn't show any pink/magenta in the center, so I'm starting to think it might not be completely hardware related..
Another one I took 30 minutes ago, you can see the pink in here: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/524695_10101195552759493_1204664_63587865_1115338038_n.jpg
EDIT: I see this problem is widespread, and not new, phonedog mentioned it in an article they wrote 4 days ago, d'oh! http://www.phonedog.com/2012/04/15/the-most-disappointing-feature-of-the-lumia-900-is-the-camera/
UPDATE:
I've got my HTC ONE X yesterday. It's been on full brightness. I've done everything I could to test it. I see no flickering and any other glitches I mentioned in OP.
Hope it stays that way.
--------
Hi all HOX owners. I hope you all are enjoying your new phone as it's a great phone to have. I've been reading the HOX problems on the internet and have been very keen to know the solutions. Here are my few findings.
Update: Flickering is no more a problem now as people are reporting the latest OTA solves the issue. HTC says it can take upto 14 days but it'd do the job.
PROBLEMS:
> Flickering of the screen.
> Yellow/Orange colour dots.
> Jumping of screen especially near the dock.
> Different colour bands appearing on edges in Camera App. (That don't affect the picture anyway)
> Creaking Sound near the edges of the phone.
> Rainbow like effect while pressing the edges or display for some longer time.
> Gap between the screen and polycarbonate body.
> Sensors not working.
> GPS problems.
>Sense Crashing and sudden reboots.
> Bad reception (fails to catch the signals)
> capacitive buttons stopped working for few.
> Phone constantly being in portrait/landscape mode.
> Phone was perfect at first and then started flickering after a week of use.
> Hear sound of something when vibrating the phone near the ear.
> Phone screen going black and blank.
> Dead Pixel.
> Camera not processing pictures.
> Font size set to 'small' in SMS app will go back to 'medium' after a while on it's own.
> Phone giving a burning smell while it's being charged. (Phone getting hot is normal.)
> Dust under the screen out of box.
> Badly finished metal rim around the screen.
CONCLUSION:
Since it's a flagship phone of HTC I'm really disappointed how the phone has taken the start. It should have broken the records but here we find it simply the opposite. With SGSIII launch around the corner I really see HTC in a big trouble. (Won't go away from HTC anyway; Hate Samsung and it's Touch Wiz UI).
Since this is a flagship phone of HTC I don't really think HTC would let it go easily. We've seen a firmware upgrade recently and hopefully all bugs would be removed within a short time.
----> Please mention in your comments if you've any other issue than these and also the solution, if you have any.
IF YOU HAVE A PERFECT DEVICE OR SWAPPED A FAULTY WITH NEWER AND PERFECT DEVICE THEN:
Please mention your serial number of the phone. (Few initial figures like HT23, HT24)
If you find anything helpful for correcting any bug I'll welcome.
*Hit Thanks button if you think I've posted something useful that'd help people know their devices.*

Don't you think you're being a bit extreme? Without question there are some devices that probably shouldn't have passed QC but clearly not every device has every (or any) of the list of issues you outlined. I've only seen two HOX's and both were fine with the exception of one having a warmer display.

This statement assumes the SGS3 will launch without any h/w or s/w issues. Based on the GN launch that's a pretty big leap of faith. Samsung's launch of ICS on the SGS2 has also been fraught with issues. More complex s/w and h/w = more issues that escape in to the wild. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Samsung products and came from a SGS2 and own a 3G Tab, but they are no more or less exempt from problems than HTC. With the HOX having been out for less than two weeks I think it’s a bit premature to say the sky is falling.

Wow that's quite a list.
We only share one thing in common with sense crash and random reboot but mine is flawless otherwise. Not one creak,blemish or screen issue.

PROBLEMS:
> Flickering of the screen.
> Yellow/Orange colour dots. --- iPhone 4S / iPhone 4 had these issues, they subside after using the screen for a while.
> Jumping of screen especially near the dock. fixed in 1.28
> Different colour bands appearing on edges in Camera App. (That don't affect the picture anyway)
> Creaking Sound near the edges of the phone.
> Rainbow like effect while pressing the edges or display for some longer time. -- You have to REALLLY squeeze the edges of the phone to even make this occur - if you pushed down on any LCD screen on a weaker part you'll get these deformation of the liquid crystals.
> Gap between the screen and polycarbonate body.
> Sensors not working.
> GPS problems.
>Sense Crashing and sudden reboots. -- Fixed in 1.28
> Bad reception (fails to catch the signals) -- None of the several HOX's I have encountered (in the UK) have had this issue.
> capacitive buttons stopped working for few.
> Phone constantly being in portrait/landscape mode.
> Phone was perfect at first and then started flickering after a week of use.
> Hear sound of something when vibrating the phone near the ear. -- Small amounts of haptic feedback will cause a short movement that sounds like something is loose. This was also true with the Nexus One and the HTC Sensation (Only phones I have had access to recently)
> Phone screen going black and blank.
> Dead Pixel. -- Common with most phones / screens, but the number of dead pixels are quite low. Simply ask to view the phone before you buy it... Reason you hear about these often are because people are more likely to complain about a dead pixel than a perfect screen!
> Camera not processing pictures. -- Camera only takes a while to process pictures if you take 40+ of the quick shots. This isn't a problem, I mean, you show me something that can take 40 shots in the space of 10 seconds, and then not pause for a while to process all the images and write them to memory!

I have only commented on the ones that I believe I have some knowledge on!
And, please do point out if I am speaking nonsense with any of my points... My experience is from being an owner of an unbranded White HOX running 1.28 and also from research too!
EDIT: Oh, and my phone is fault-free. Writing from another room that my phone is in, so will post again tomorrow with my s/n. ^^
Yeah not every device is faulty but there's a healthy percentage of users who have issues. I'm not saying I want defect free device on the very first day. I know tgere are issues and are settled down with time but there are some very OBVIOUS bugs are errors that should have been noticed.
I may have gone bit too harsh but I really love this device. Wanna get one soon so not happy the start it has taken.
Hopefully the mixture of these HW & SW bugs are fixed with time.

You say a healthy percentage - lots of people will stumble across a forum such as this when their device has an issue. They will then post about their issue, making it sound more 'common' than those without any issues at all - I mean, why bother posting saying "MY DEVICE IS PERFECT!"?
I imagine there has been some sort of QA undertaken by both HTC and the manufacturers, so the %age of defective products per batch is probably really low. My only "beef" as such with the release of the HOX was the apparently rushed Software release, of which most of my "issues" have been dispelled with the release of 1.28.

Yeah this will lower with time. And hopfully all faulty phones are wiped off the markets within a short time.
As the hardware is excellent this phone will be a real beast once the bugs are removed.
EDIT: And if there's an issue it has to be written down and put infront of people. No matter how many of them are common. The point is they exist and someone can face them anytime.

For that statement to be true you'd have to know how many were sold and somehow extrapolate XDA's users experiences against it. The s/w issues shouldn't be surprising with ICS, Teg3, and Sense 4 being used together for the first time. Of the h/w issues the only one that really seems to impact a lot of people (based on XDA alone) is the display. Specifically defects, color temperature, and how well it's installed in the metal shell.
All of this sucks but doesn't strike me as anything HTC can't address via ongoing s/w updates, improved manufacturing, and better QC. If all the issues were truly that widespread you'd think that at least some of the reviewers test samples would have been affected. It doesn't appear they were.
I got my SGS2 out of the first batch released in the UK last May. The front page of the SGS2 forum was riddled with h/w issues too (USB ports dislodging, light showing through the screen surround, banding and yellow tint on some displays, finger prints on the inside of the display, faulty cameras, dead head phone jacks, just to name a few. They were all resolved over time.
If the front page of the forum still looks the way it does today in May then I'd say HTC has a significant problem. For now it looks pretty much like that of every other high-end product launched in the past six months (that I've tracked).
well well

Hmmm..lmao You should've said this in Prime forums now you know how it feels when you own the device, which works great, and people lump all devices as having the issues listed by others. Sounds like Deja vu here.
Best of luck though to HTC and Nvidia squaring away any possible issues with this phone. IMO, the HTC One X is bada$$. I heard its coming to at&t now. Yes, the international version, HTC One X is said to be coming to America now and At&t will have it. Sounds like this might be the phone I use my upgrade discount on.
Edit: just realized at&t is actually getting the HTC One XL. Which has the S4 snapdragon. I'd rather have a tegra3 in it

You're funny. In a way it's exactly like the Prime's launch. There's a bunch of issues and everyone's trying to figure what's little, what's big, and how many people are affected. Most everything discussed here though is QC and assembly not design and function which were the Prime's biggest issues. Now if HTC announced the One X Infinity next week there would be a lot more in common. The HOX really is an amazing device though (even though the front page may not reflect it).

When SMS font size is set to small, after some time, it will go back to medium.

Ive gone through two before getting a refund. I suggest everyone check for dead pixels at http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php . Use the black background and set brightness to max. Do this test in a low lit room and take some time to scan properly for them. They are quite small !!!

I think the people think the people that are experiencing all those problems are less that 1%
Probably 99% of the people have experience maybe 1 of the things on the list but most of the time just ONCE and if it repeats they change their units.
This phone is the best phone I have owned in a long time and I have experienced a few of those issues but maybe once or twice but thats it.
Im sure ALOT of other brands experience very similar issues, especially in the beginning of the launch of a new product.
Image this phone in 6 months from now, im sure the software will have matured alot and become more awesome than it already is.
And when it comes to specs it seems this phone is a pretty good competitor with the SGIII.
Also HTC has an OFFICIAL webpage for you to unlock your device for full customer satisfaction, i think thats pretty awesome, and many people forget that you does NOT void you HARDWARE warranty only software (unless your phone is branded) or if it is software related issue that you have casued and if you don't know the slightest bit about flashing roms and overclocking then you should not even be there in the first place.
I think the phone is full of potential and will get better and better
So... Any updates? The users who swapped their phones got something to cheer about or it's just that there is gonna be another replacement?

mmm my first handset was perfect except had a tiny scratch under the gorilla glass and two imperfections to the polycarbonate shell, china, singapore region
second handset was flexing on the left+gap+lcd ripple+slightly less bright screen (yellowness/spots went away in one week) and more edge light bleed than usual, made me realize the gorilla glass isn't laminated well so had to go, taiwan HT242, south african region / euro firmware
my cousin has taiwan HT23 made for france region / euro firmware, perfect brightest screen like described in the review, just slight creak on the top right corner of the glass but its fit perfectly
another one sold to his friend the same code/region/build as my cousin's didn't even make a noise on shake, perfect in every way
they all heat depending on your usage and firmware, on 1.26 used to heat bad on heavy wifi use plus charger, they all have glitches
im hunting a perfect one for me all the others we sold to people who didnt care about this stuff
dont blame us guys for complaining this way more defects/imperfections rate than the usual, been buying HTC since the diamond
HTC stopped producing the Legend too soon if you all remember, lets hope it won't happen here...
I feel sorry to all that are experiencing problems with their device. I feel you. To those potential buyers and future owners of the One X, DONT feel discouraged about these issues.
Id say 99% of these devices are fine, a very mall minority have these issues. And its the same with any other device out there.
Mine's an early batch (i think). Preordered it and got it April 4th. Am i lucky that i got a problem free One X? NO. Because that's how the phone should be (and any other device for that matter).

Just got a One X and thankfully all the reported 'defects' don't seem to be there. However the screen colours are far too warm. The biggest problem is with flesh tones looking very reddish. Its best illustrated by taking a picture of my hand with the camera, which shows up very red indeed. However if I import the picture to my PC its acceptable. My screen is Acer which supposedly runs colder than Sharp and Sony, but thats not my case.
Should I exchange my unit? I have 48hours to return the phone with no questions asked. Its perfect otherwise and I heard that the warmness disappears over time. If true, how long does it take for the warmness to normalize. Also is there a software available now or in the near future that would solve this (rom, mod, etc.)?
PS> I'm still on 1.28.415.9 because I haven't received an update yet.
I just tried using "Screen Adjuster" from the Play Store, but the results were horrible. I really need to know whether the warmness subsides overtime because otherwise I have a perfect unit and don't wanna gamble it away for a creaky, ripply, dead pixel unit.
I passed by the store and compared my phone to the two display models and a sealed unit. All three had the excessive red hue warm colors as mine. When I say excessive I mean very excessive. Its best viewed with the Mirror application. It almost makes me look like I'm fluorescent pink Almost the color of this icon.
Someone please chime in. How red do you look in the Mirror app?
I'm begging here, someone please acknowledge my existence and answer my simple question. Does the Mirror app make you look red/pink like your are badly sunburned?

Thanks so much for answering me. Vascularised is a great way of putting it. I can almost see the blood flowing through my capillaries. I hope this is just a software issue. Outside in daylight its much much better.
HTC should have added a light in front panel.
And after "vascularised" it has a litlle "drunk" effect.
After ZombieBooth, HTC just invented DrunkBooth ...
I tested the front camera some more using Skype. It seems that there are two reasons for the red hue. The camera software is messed up, and so is the screen itself. When using Skype the image from the front camera looks very red on the phone, but it doesn't look as bad on the PC (although still red). This leads me to believe that the camera software is not calibrated, and the screen further compounds the problem. I'm hoping 1.29 update will help a bit.
I just ordered this phone as lost my optimistic 3d. If this is a problem with all sets I can't understand its not mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen. Hopefully means forward is a bit messed up

Well as far as I'm concerned I have not seen, or heard of, any One X unit that doesn't have this problem. So far I have personally examined 6 phones that have this problem (all worse than my phone). Also three XDA users have also confirmed this (one on this thread and two in other threads). I have yet to see or hear that a One X exists out there which does not have an extremely red hued front camera.
Until someone confirms otherwise, it seems to me to affect ALL One X's.
In camera settings, put the saturation to -1, this looks far more realistic. However, I don't know if it looks the same on another device as is does for me. For all I know, it could be making my hand white for the pc.

Thanks that helps a bit. I'm sure HTC will have to fix up the camera software in an upcoming update because this is just unacceptable.
Hi,
I am on my 5th HTC One X, in 30 days. This one is Grey, the previous 2 were white, and the 2 before that were Grey.
My 1st (Grey) return was a faulty digitizer. My 2nd (Grey) was very minor (LED not aligned). My 3rd (White) was screen flex and creaking. My 4th (White) was creaking and signal. My 5th (Grey) seems fine.
I've noticed that the grey ones seem a lot more sturdy than the white ones. They also seem to have better signal (3G, Wifi) capabilities. Now, my sample was only small, and it was in the UK, and from one supplier.
I'd like to see if there is a correlation between the colour of the HTC One X, and the build quality.
If you look at the tear down pics, the phone's internals are all a single integral unit. They get put in a body toward the end of assembly. The way they're built, any "phone" could end up in any color "body." I'm sure whatever process HTC uses to attach the antennas and other parts to a body, no matter what color it is, is the same. So it's unlikely that the color of the case has anything to do with an individual phone's performance.

That's not my experience. Hence why I asked the question. To see if my experience was unique or more widespread.
The issues with the white cases was that the screens were ill fitting, and they creaked.
It could be that the white colouring used is effecting the plastic more than the grey colour.
As I stated, in my experience the colour certainly did make a difference. Not one of the grey ones I had suffered any creaking, what-so-ever. yet both of the white ones did.
By now, after being on the market for five months, there's several hundred thousand One X's in the wild. On the forum there are pages of discussion of China vs. Taiwan builds, whether early builds are better than later builds, and whether phones sold in different regions have different levels of problems. A lot of people have also swapped from white to gray phones and vice versa. If something as obvious as "grey phones are built better" was true, it would have come up on its own. And it’s not like people on the forum aren’t examining their phones closely.
Do you think someone with a working grey device would see its performance change if they bought this off of eBay and changed the color of their phone?
By the way, a bunch of people have bought replacement covers off of eBay and put them on their phones themselves. Quite a few people have also opened up their phones to self-repair the Wi-Fi h/w issue rather than waiting on HTC. Nothing odd was reported. By all means do carry on, but it's doubtful a trend's going to arise if it hasn't already.

Your experience and assumption are based on a sample of 5 phones. The only way you can draw a definite conclusion is by using statistical analysis, which requires the sample being used to be much larger. The experience you had is not significant enough to generalize it towards all HOX phones.
