Hi everyone,
I am using htc one x for over two months now, and recently i have noticed that my lcd is not working correctly.
I am using arhd 31.1 now, and before that i have been using arhd 31.0, and so on and so on...
This error happened when i installed arhd 31.0, but i tought that it was the rom problem so updated my phone to arhd 31.1. And problem still persists.
The problem is following, part of my lcd display does not recognize gestures, or touches or any other input, it is like that part of lcd or digitizer is dead, i cant do nothing in that area.
Picture explaining problem more precisely and effectivly is in attachment, those lines you see should be continous.
So what do you guys think this is? I am really pissed and you cannnot imagine how much this is annoying :/
Is this hardware problem or something else? Just so you know my phone never dropped, and it was never punched or anything.
Any help or somekind of advice would be great.
And I dont have a warranty.
Regards.

I had the same issue with mine. It was deemed a hardware problem and the retailer gave me a credit to purchase a new phone. Mine was still under warranty.

Had a similar problem but with the lower part of the digitizer, had to replace the whole screen+digitizer assembly(pity you cant replace only the digitizer).
I have one question tho - was your phone in moist environment -e.g pocket while running etc?
I cannot say it was in moist environment, but i use endomondo a lot while running, but then phone is in armband never in pocket.

I have this problem too,but in lower part of screen.I turned on visible touches in developer options and it just skip this area.And my auto touches in this area sometimes.
I have solution that worked for me but problem is coming back sometimes,so i must do that all over again.I hope it will help to someone still using this phone.
I solvet the problem by pressing up right edge of of my phone.When i press it it looks like its coming back to place.Try pressing phone with two fingers on edges of the phone and see if it makes the difference.And if it not work use lighter igniter,just google unresponsive part of touch screen fix with quartz lighter
I hope i helped and if you have any questions ask me.
And sorry for my BAD english!

Hey Everyone,
My LCD screen seems to not be displaying colors as well as it should, almost as if it isn't displaying all the colors that it is in fact capable of...
I had some prior problems with my phone, including a non-functional power button, a digitizer with some unresponsive blind spots along the left and right side of the screen, and a very faint/low volume through the in-call speaker.
I had been planning to go inside my phone using the teardown/repair guide, and actually ended up stripping my phone down to the LCD panel.
The good news is I have fixed all the problems that I had set out to fix while doing the teardown.
HOWEVER, my screen is now a weird teal/blue color. For example, when I equip the standard HTC skin (the one with the nice colorful bubble background) Instead of the notification bar/button being a solid steel gray, they seem to have striping pattern with some dull colors of gray but with this teal coloration.
I was wondering if it is more likely something to do with the pcb/lcd getting slightly damaged when I did the teardown, or is it possible it is something to do with a setting on my phone? (the boot screen did load up once, when I was doing the teardown and checking if my phone still worked, I chose reboot as the option)
HELP!
Well more then likely it is the conectors I've seen it to many times when people dicide to take apart phones id say take it all apart and make sure your cabbles are plugged in nice and and firm report back and tell me. Also make sure you havnt nicked anythng on the pcb boards (traces or anything) no nicked cords ect

Same thing happening with mine, it's a week old and I've never taken it apart.
Only thing i can think of that happened that makes sense is a damaged pcb flex cable, thats it.but the weird thing is i fixed everything else. Its annoying cause videos look wack and taking photos is also messed. Ill probably go back into my phone and see what i can do, ive opened it like 8 times so wont be too hard.

me too
Just wonderening if anyone found a solution to this problem as I am experiencing the same thing. I have never taken my phone apart. I have my own post called display color problems. Please help! This is absolutely obnoxious!
I sent mine back to Bell for repair. Took 2 weeks, don't know what they did but it works great now.
Was that an expensive repair? Wish I knew what the problem was so I could try to fix it myself.

Actually it was covered under warranty so cost me nothing.
Well thanks anyway.

Is your phone not under warranty? If it's because you rooted it, you can relock the phone with gfree and restore the BellMobility RUU...
Yeah I guess I could but I really can't go two weeks with no phone. That's the main problem.

Figured I'd give this thread a bump. Really just hoping that someone out there has some experience with this problem. I've searched the net high and low to no avail. I don't want to waste money on unnecessary parts if I just need one. Presently, I plan on replacing my LCD. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
This happened to me before i first opened up my phone. I wouldn't replace the LCD because i cracked mine, and had to replace it and it still does it. Just try and get a replacement phone from your carrier or the store from which you bought it while they fix it. Easiest option.
These ghost touches happen quite often and render the device unusable. They last for several minutes and don't seem to have any apparent trigger. I've tried searching for people with a similar problem have been unsuccessful maybe due to lack of a way to describe what's happening.
I managed to grab a video on my girlfriends One X in the dead of night to better illustrate the problem. The phantom touches are always in the same location on the Y Axis but vary on the X Axis.
Any information or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom.
I can't see the video (work blocks it)...what are you doing when the phantom touches happen...
It may be a silly question...have you ran the oboard diag tests??
That looks bad. Have you tried factory resetting so you can get the phones default screen calibration back? You might want to call HTC Tech Support too if that doesn't work.

Mine did the same thing when I got it wet. Not to say yours got wet, but my HOX got wet while I was at the beach from a wet towel " driving home". Did yours get near any wet areas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I had the same problem with my last HOX, in the beginning pretty seldom but later it became nearly permanent. I was able to trigger it by pushing slightly harder in the upper right corner. A factory reset didn't bring anything, so i brought it back to the vodafone store.
I suppose this error occurs due to generally hard pressure on the touchscreen (like sitting on it, wearing tight pants and kneeing down, ...)
I'm affraid this is a touch hardware failure...
@Op,
Nothing ghosty about it and lucky you it's no hardware failure.
It has been mentioned before on the board as well.
Go into Settings/Developer options and un tick 'show touches'
Cheers.

that wouldnt stop whatever it is 'touching' it tho.. he's obviously just turned it on to demonstrate the 'touch' at the bottom area of the screen.
Yes, your right indeed.

Kinda, A bird got a pretty good shot with it's.. ahem, excrement the other day. It landed half on the one x half on my hand. I wiped it off straight away and figured the polycarbonate body would have managed to keep it safe.

By any chance this isn't happening with charger plugged inside right? Because similar has been reported quite few times with the original htc charger.

I had the same problem with my wife htc explorer, i wiped all the caches including dalvik cache from the phone's recovery. It never happened again.
I've tried many solutions, I completely wiped and reflashed different roms. I've also repartitioned my SD (doubt that would do much) .
and still my button's wont work.
Has there been reports of physically damaged bottom buttons? I see no damage whatsoever also lights up perfectly.
Just an idea!
Please help me, its the only phone I currently have in my apartment. Any help or suggestions would be amazing thank you !
Only thing I can think of if there is no damage to the digitizer part would be damage to the ribbon cable that connects the digitizer to the rest of the phone.

That's what I was thinking... is it difficult to open the phone up ? or is very sophisticated with the amount of screws?
Dude I had/have the same issue. I opened up my phone and put it back together. It started working better now. But whenever it stops working momentarily I just lock and unlock the screen.
there is a seperate flex cable for the buttons, it could be this or it could be the digitizer, either way relativley cheap and easy to replace. you can't always see the problem so just opening it up and looking may not tell you the problem.
but like strawmetal said, if there is some corrision on the contact points or some other intermediate problem, just opening the phone, disconecting it, cleaning things up, and putting it back together may fix your issues

Came down to once yesterday. Earlier I even had a thin horizontal strip on the screen where touch wouldn't work. I had a tough time accepting/canceling dialog boxes. This is no longer an issue. Hope the bottom capacitatives don't show any more problems today. Then I'll be back onto the rooted side of android.

EDIT: I got a lot of ghost activity on myscreen today. Fixed by lock and unlock but goes back to ghosting in a minute.
Today I didn't have any issues, phone was working normally, no unresponsive screen at all, capacitive buttons also worked well. It is puzzling...

I got my phone the other week and after 2 hours of using it I noticed a strange behaviour.... I had a horizontal band in the middle of the screen that would not response to touch.
Since then I contacted my carrier to send me a new one, and of course they delay me with all the madness of black friday and "Orange black week" but I should get a new phone sometimes next week.
In the meantime I noticed something, at some point the touchscreen woked, I started to question myself why does this happen? I read a few posts on the internet about this and tested some things for myself and I got the point where if I rub the phone against my wool coat the touchscreen would start working,although when it works it somehow overloads and no touch input is registered until I turn off and on the screen. Obviously when I rub it on my coat the touchscreen get electrostatically charged which somehow makes it's "wheels" turn.
This happens everytime I restart the phone and after some time of sitting idle.
This is really weird behaviour, I'm certain it's a hardware fault, can something be done, a final solution? Rather than constantly rubbing my phone on my coat? (it looks weird ).
Try recalibrate, in keyboard settings - advance or choose reset calibration.
I have dead spots at the sides, if I use a drawing app and try to draw a line from left to right of the screen, it don't actually go to the edges.
I'm kinda hoping its just a calibration problem that'll go away in a future update, if not I'll send it in.
It's kinda annoying not being able to skip flash video using the bottom slider/progress bar, first halve works, but then gets more difficult further than halfway.

My dead spot looks like this. It s about 20% of screen setate.

Did you try the calibrate option?
If it don't help then I guess its hardware and time for warranty maybe.
It helped me a little, but I still got small area's, smaller than before.

Yes, Wednesday I made a request for a new unit, should be here on Monday Tuesday, hopefully
This was mine after changing display. So I changed the display with another one, and now there are no problems. Got a refund for the defective one. The dead spot only occured 1 or 2 times in the week I had the faulty display.

so I have exactly the same problem but it doesnt occure while its charging.when I unplug the charging cable,there is it ! any ideas ?
What should be the cost
Hi,
I have the same problem, is it worthwhile to send for repair, or I may buy a new one?
One is the expected cost of the repair of replacing the defected hardware?
here is my solution

Hey guys
I have a half working OneX lying here and need some advice. The lcd doesnt work anymore and stays black all time. The rest of the phone still seems to work. I looked on ebay.com.au ( I am in Australia right now) for some lcds but git kinda confused which I have to buy now.
Is this the right one or do I need sth. else?
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/370629968578?nav=SEARCH
SOmeone any idea? Do I have to open my HOX to see which Screen I need or what?
I have a similar problem as you with my HOX, though sometimes when I twist my phone from the edges a but the screen comes to life for a while. I've read that this could be a problem with the ribbon being pressed out of place due to heating of the battery. I think its a better option to get it checked by a hardware guy than buying something that you might not need.
