Hi,
On the 5th of April I signed a 24-months contract with Three and got a HOX with it.
I've got this package from a Three Store (sadly....).
From day one I had coverage problem at home (and only around my block) serious enough for them to give me a free 28-days while they try to fix the situation in my area (central London, by the way).
Also, yesterday I heard/read that Three, very professionally, will just skip this 1.28 OTA upgrade (which could have improved the situation with my coverage problem).
As if this was not enough, I was reading about this "screen flex" problem that most of white HOXs have and how HTC said they will replace all these faulty handset.
Sure enough, my handset had this problem, so I went today at the store and asked for replacement; they had 4 models in store and ALL of them were more or less flawed!!!
I asked them what I should do and they said they would order new stock...
At this point I asked them, if also with the new batch of phones this problem persisted, if I could brake the contract and return the phone: the guy said "it cannot be done. The contract cannot be broken in any case". All I could do was take the black model.....
Now, I moved in the UK recently and I don't know exactly how these kind of disputes are handled in this country, but do you think this is normal?
I am having the worst service ever, several difficulties and the phone they sold me is faulty (not unusable, but HTC officially admitted it's a fault): can they really just say "We won't terminate your contract."??
In Italy in this case I would appeal to some kind of "Consumer agency" to ask for help, but here I don't know how to move.....
What do you suggest??
Should I just wait for the new batch of phones to arrive? What if that doesn't work either??
Thank you very much....
p.s. Too bad I discovered too late that the worst thing I could have done was buying the phone from a store and not online....I couldn't imagine that would have made any difference....
Unfirtunately contract cant be broken wen ure talking about screen fkex u dont just meanpressing the edge and gettin a rainbow effect do u? Because that isnt really a flaw

I am in fact talking about that issue, yes....
But if HTC admits it is a build flaw and they are ready to replace the handset (which is my understanding it's how things are), shouldn't that mean I can have a replacement or, if the problem doesn't get solved, a refund??
After all, this issue affects only white HOXs and on a per-handset basis...this looks like a build problem IMHO...

The UK Sale of Goods act will protect you if you can prove that the item isn't fit for purpose. I doubt the flex will be a basis to use it though

This might help you too....

The actual.screen flex that Htc is refering to is some units shipped with permanent rainbow spots every device will have them iff pressed blackberrys is an example aswell i think forums have blown this out of proportion.who is actually going to press the sides of there screen?

What snowwhite007 said.
The way LCDs are designed means that if you apply pressure then you'll get distortion. It isn't a flaw in the screen or the phone. You need to push much harder than you would during normal operation for it to happen.
I understand....
Ok, well, I never said it would make my phone unusable...I was just worried that the screen would be weaker because of this issue....
However, we'll se how it goes in time!
Thanks for you answers
Three say that they are working on a newer than 1.28 version and will be released in May. (personally, I think its flannel, it really is the 1.28 version we have seen here but with their crap on it and are calling it something different to cover up the delay in getting it out. Call me cynical if you like, lol)
Anyway, the 1.28 will fix the connection problems, at least it has done on most peoples handsets that post on here.

At least they've said they're doing something. Orange have said nothing. :|
Tbh I can't see why people are considering the flex thing as an issue, like said above, try do that on any LCD tv, or monitor or LCD phone screen, it all does it, but would you return your tv because of that? No because that is how it is. My dhd did that when pushing stupidly hard on the screen, same as the one x, this is in no way a design flaw! It's people abusing their devices imo.

Apart from the "pressing screen for rainbow effect", are you guys having the same problem as me, wherein I can actually press the whole screen on the left hand side and the screen physically moves. It clicks in and out of the phone, as if to suggest its not fitted properly. Is this the same fault you guys have? I'm getting my 4th replacement tonight, really pissed off at the moment

Thats not normal. My screen doesn't move at all. It does sound like your screen wasn't fitted properly and it isn't clipping into the latches properly.

Hey guys, this is not a QQ post like many others, just wanted to point out some things , 1 week ago i sent my galaxy note for repair and got HTC ONE X instead, the phone was running quite nice i have to say it was unbranded one even tho it was bought from Vodafone in Czech Republic, i received both OTAs immediately after the release. The phone itself have really beautifull design i have to say its probably the best looking phone right now but the issues it have thats just bollox, i had flickering when the brightness was on the lowest settings which i didnt use anyway but it was there, battery on this device is just i dont know, htc is boasting with Nvidia Tegra but come on, 20-30 minutes of playing and ur phone is dead, standby battery life is quite nice and it would last for 2-3 days but when u turn the screen on you can just see the battery goin down, which is quite disturbing i got to the point when i was really scared to even turn it on This morning i found a thread here about missing storage so i was like hey ill give it a go aswell, and boom 3gb missing, i know u can format ur card and stuff but seriously, if it would have microSD slot people would not complain that much but having to copy all data over and over again if u do the mistake and pull the device out without removing it safely its just lol. I know the device is new and there are always issues with it, but come on my note didnt have so many issues, and the ones htc is experiencing that are not just minor problems, its facing construction problems, overheating , battery drainage screen flickering,lagging tegra games and maybe even others. I was really sad to return the phone but come on, i spent around 600 euro on it and i would expect some kind of level. Im back to my note now, and tbh im just gonna wait for S3 to test it out and see, i know new phones always have issues but HTC should have waited with the release of ONE X to make it perfect phone, its beautifull designed, it has gorgeous display, nice camera but the issues are letting it down.
what i am not getting is....
You sent your Note for repair and got the HOX, was this a temporary solution? As you say you spent 600 euro on the HOX but now you have your Note back.............very confusing.

nope i wanted to sell Note when it got back from repair and keep the HOX but today when i got the call from the store that my note is repaired i changed my mind and returned hox, cause i dont really have time to sort issues htc should have sorted for us, just imagine people who dont read these forums and face issues hox have ? they are not gonna fix them by themselves, the phone should be in stage where you shouldnt really tweak the system and stuff to be able to use the phone normally, this forums right now is just filled with people who are assuring themselves they did the right choice of buying this phone, i see people saying they returned the phone 4-5 times, that doesnt feel right tbh
you sent note for repair, bought a HOX for 600 and now you are selling your HOX? I will give you twenty quid for it.
Seriously, you are moaning about the HOX but you havent had any issues but you are scared of what you read on here........
By the way, why was your Note in for "repair"?
My HOX has been fine, no issues whatsoever, i reckon you are one of these people that when you are ill with a simple cold, you type it in to google and end up worrying you have cancer.
The point is, I am not unlocked and of course still running on completely stock rom and never experience any issue mentioned here and there.
Dont get me wrong, I used to have Desire, Incredible S, Sensation, EVO 3D and I was first to apply S-OFF/unlock back in the days and did loads of mods to them, but H1X is just simply better, so flawless that I still have no intention to unlock.

I lost around 3gb of space on the phone memory, when i pressed the screen on edges you could just feel how the display goes down a little bit + it made the purple **** on the edges, battery was just horrible when u used the phone i cant even imagine ur traveling somewhere and play something for 30 mins that would just kill the battery, i lost around 40 percent of battery life just by downloading The Dark Meadow data with the screen on, which took around 10 minutes, thats not normal if u ask me, and no im not selling it i just returned it in the 2 weeks period, why u blame me i dont get i just pointed out some things i didnt like, but honestly im not gonna transfer all my data to pc format my card every single time i loose some space, theres few flawless devices out there if it would be the one i had i would keep it but with so many issues i rather gave up on it
to be perfectly honest, i don't blame you if you had the flex and screen issues, it drives you mad! the screen lamination issues are a total disgrace
HTC better sort this and quickly
funny some people are still in denial around here, would you like to suggest to someone in your family getting a HOX and struggling like the rest of us with defects?
The phone is amazing but we need to pressure HTC to sort this out quick and most important never box devices in such state! if you are fan of HTC you should care about this
never seen this much drama on the Desire HD forum during release, i'm sorry ask anyone with a DHD

To be honest i was really sad to return it back, my intention was to keep the phone, but right now untill they sort their mess i would not recommend it, i dont say all units are faulty, but most of them is, i was having Desire HD for 1 year and it was perfect device, apart from battery The HOX is really gorgeous i had a white one, the camera was pleasure to use, got some nice pics from it, display i wont even compare it to my note, its totally different league, but the issues i was haivng with it just drove me crazy, not to mention camera lens getting scratches really easy, and yes i was using the case and i wasnt even wearing it in jeans or anything, im really carefull when it gets to phones, i might actually buy it again when they sort these issues, but right now it was a no for me
no denail here, phone is perfect and if you have one of the issues then that is unfortunate, but the OP seems to be making mountain out of a molehill and all this while his Note was broken.

First, learn to use paragraphs to separate your thoughts. Streams of consciousness are difficult to comprehend.
Second, do you believe everything you read? I posted some comments in the SD card thread before the Chinese tree monkeys spun it out of control. The 3GB isn't missing; it's in protected space that CHKDSK can't read. It's because HTC's using a different method of managing storage. It's why the One X shows up as "mass storage" device and not "MTP" like other ICS devices. The XL has only 16GB of memory. Don't you think the people on their forum are smart enough to notice if 2/3 was missing the way people are claiming here?
If I get a SGS3 it'll be to get away from posts like this and the random and pointless crisis posts on this forum.

But all i can gather is your HOX had 3gb missing (which it isnt) and when you leave the battery on playing games it drains the battery. Everything else you have only read about it.

you can have my one then if you are willing to pay top dollar get me the s3 and you can have my gorgeous working HOX..No problems no gaps no nothing. Perfect customer and love it
My HOX has been declared DOA (Slight screen flicker) so I am waiting on my new 1 coming then I have to send this one back, sooooo temptation got the better of me and I decided to pop it open for a nosey....
So... does anybody want me to test anything? Seen as it’s a write off anyway?
You do realise HTC *might* see if the device has been opened and if they're feeling nasty they can bill you for the new device?

Might? Oh well, while you have it open, see if you can came the brands and/or model numbers off some of the chips like GPS and Wi-Fi.
drop the battery, hold vol+ and vol-, connect usb cable.
see if an apx device appears in windows.

This would be a huge help. Possibly a big step in gaining S-OFF

NO apx
may be other ways.
so long as the battery is unconnected.
vol+ and power then connect usb
vol + and vol- and power and connect usb.
Even if you get to a point where it just isn't causing anything to pop up in device manager then we can at least stop pursuing it and focus on the pogo pins as a way to apx mode.
battery no where in sight or reconnect bat when usb is plugged in etc?
Not might, will. They would be perfectly within their rights to do so, as well. Once you agree a return, it's no longer your property to open, not to mention that there's no way for HTC to know you didn't open the phone before your problem occurred.
You'd better hope they don't notice...

There's no "void" stickers until you start pulling the mainboards out. The only way they would notice is if the phone was somehow damaged in the process.
Re the APX mode - battery needs to be totally disconnected to start. Just try different combos with volume/power buttons and the usb connection. We're all just guessing atm.

Void stickers are not the only way to tell if a phone has been opened. (I know. I used to work for a major consumer / business electronics manufacturer, and one of my duties was inspecting returns and approving or denying warranty and refund claims.)
I wouldn't have taken it apart. There may be a small pin on the motherboard that will identify a case breach and log it. Wouldn't be hard for them to see it. And charge you for the phone.

Yes, let's throw him under the bus. There's every chance that he's not done anything HTC will detect *yet*, but that he will do so in trying to help out. Let's make sure he's aware of the chance that continuing may cost him the entire phone, if he hasn't already done so. Then he can decide if he wants to take that risk.
Or we can just open our own phones... and if we don't want to, why should we not try to help somebody else have a bit of common sense too?

There have already been multiple product teardowns of the One X posted, including detailed photos. Getting him to take photos and describe the experience won't tell you anything that 20 seconds with forum search couldn't have done.

Right, its already open now, cant take that back so it wont never go back to being un-opened, so get all these guys all the info you can that may be able to help move development forward.

Wrong. It snaps back together just fine, presuming he didn't break anything in opening it. (How do you think HTC puts it together in the first place?)
It's possible he hasn't yet done anything that will land him in hot water with his warranty, and that he will do so if he continues fiddling. It's equally possible he's already shot his warranty. Nobody knows, but if it's the latter he can always tear things back apart and fiddle when he gets his unwarranted phone back from HTC.
I respect the fact the OP wants to help, and the last time i checked that was the ethos of this forum. All i'm seeing is the poor guy being flamed for opening a phone. I'm sure he/she knew the risks. Time being a factor i noted that it was wasted with people assuming control based on previous experience.
"used to work in a *fill in the blanks*" is all very well but wins no respect if it's not followed up with a "so here's how to find out"

You can get back your HTC One X through your IMEI number just make a complaint about your lost phone to the police station or tell about your lost phone to the HTC. No matter if someone change your SIM card your phone can be located through your phone's IMEI number, you will definitely get it back.
Now about my HTC One V-
It's a great phone. There are NO Heating Problems too.. Wi-Fi works superbly and camera is excellent. The ONLY thing I didn't like is the options button which we had in the other phones... I'm an Android user from years and now it's a little bit difficult to have it in my mind that me phone doesn't has the options button and has the "Recent Apps" button instead. 1 more thing- The 1Ghz Single-Core processor works fine but it does get stuck or freezes for a second sometimes... However, people ask this question frequently- "How will I reboot/make my phone work again when it hangs completely?" HERE'S THE ANSWER- The Phone doesn't hang (at least I've not experienced such a situation on my One V...). It just stops for a second (SOMETIMES) and then it's alright. And I have NO Yellow spots too. Only the thing is that it's very necessary to get a scratch guard immediately as "I'm the ONE You've been waiting for" sticker has to be removed so that we can use the phone... It's also important to get a nice cover so that the great back metal body doesn't loose it's greatness.

You can get back your HTC One X through your IMEI number just make a complaint about your lost phone to the police station or tell about your lost phone to the HTC. No matter if someone change your SIM card your phone can be located through your phone's IMEI number, you will definitely get it back.
Now about my HTC One V-

Just so you know, HTC is a garbage company that creates good looking phones but which appear durable only on the outside.
I had an One S and after 2 months of usage The touchscreen "gave birth" of a dead spot right in the middle. It was a 1cm thick vertical line. So the phone became useless.I spend a ton of money on an "original" display+glass+digitizer (an assembly) cause I didn't choose a warranty when I bought the device, cause it was cheaper that way. after 1 month and a half month, a dead spot appeared on the new screen. This time it was a horizontal line that gave me a hard time again. I donnated the phone to some guy. I decided to buy a new HTC, but this time a ONE X. After 4 months another dead spot appeared on the touchscreen and again that area was unresponsive. I decided not to send it into warranty cause it was already enough and it's not worth it, so I sold it at a considerably lower price because of that problem. The Ironic thing is that I always tooks so much care of both devices and it still broke. If you keep using HTC, you'll only shorten your life.
I'm now a bit short on money and I'm using a pathetic Galaxy Ace 2. If you wanted right now to exchange a brand new ONE X with my Ace 2, I wouldn't make the exchange and I'd stick with the phone I have right now. Or I'd make the exchange only to sell the HTC, cause it's more expensive than the Ace 2 and after that I'd buy a Nexus 4 or a Galaxy S3, with the money I'd get from the HTC. That's how bad I hate HTC. What seems to be awesome, it's actually something that breaks with the slightest touch. Samsung, which everytime comes with the same hideous design every year, is 10 times more durable than an HTC, and also is a lot easier to root and downgrade if something goes wrong during some process.
So, my personal opinion, try to choose anything else but HTC. Otherwise you're gonna experience all sorts of problems with it even if you decide to replace the screen. When you fix a problem, another one will come out and make you be stressed. IT'S NOT WORTH IT, believe me.
Every one has there personal views of the devices they use.. I've had my One X from since it came out and it has never given me trouble.. I've never came across with the issues you are claiming.. neither my friends that use them. I have to upgrade to a new phone eventually but not because of the phone dying, but because it's just natural to upgrade to a newer better phone. I've used sammies before but have never ever come close to my comparison with the One X. I love HTC products and that remains no matter what..to the OP, your problem seems can be solved with a new screen..
How is that practical advice...uncalled for. Try a reverting phone to stock, if that doesn't help then it is a hardware fault and start looking into repair.
