I think that the water damage has been too great for the phones chips and has had its day. Have you tried on ebay for a new mother board?

You could maybe try for a screen damaged one and swap the boards out? Or strip yours down for parts and sell them off? Its not the best scenario I know but the wildfire is considered quite old now and parts will probably cost more than a new one :/ sorry pal.

well yeah it is old.but you see i am emotionally connected to my willy. it was the first android phone of mine. i wana to stick to it until it is working condition. but i never had thought about dropping it into water at any cost.
Well if you are hoping to keep willy alive I would recommended a motherboard transplant see if you can get your hands OK a cheap wildfire with a damaged screen and perform the swap, will probably work out cheaper than a new motherboard like.

i dont know if its there when i bought the phone , but i noticed it 2 days back a small bulging just above HTC logo on back of the phone ...
i think it the heating part of phone ...
i tried to take some pics but cant get to see it ..
check if any body has it ...
That is odd..
The back of mine is completely flat/flush, even when I put a ruler against it, there is not the slightest bump.
I'd take it back to the shop and tell them about it!
I assume something has expanded, like the battery. Take it back before it's too late, as the last thing you want is it getting worse, or something to happen like the battery to suddenly stop working!
Edit:
Could you provide maybe a side-on shot so we can see how elevated it is? Like lay it face down on a table and take a photo of the side, and possibly hold something straight like a ruler, that way it'd be easier to see

Should do, if you bought the phone within the last 28 days or something. You'd get one on the spot I think.
If you are past that, it will probably be sent for repair and fixed or replaced.

Even I have a slight bulge on my htc one x it's hardly 20 days old. I think many are having this issue . Htc should replace our handsets
Definatley a replacement job, nothing like I've seen.
As stated before mine is completely flat.
I really suggest getting that thing replaced. If that has anything to do with the battery or the placement of the heat, it can be very dangerous. I've heard of batteries expanding and bursting. I really suggest getting rid of that phonw, and if it burst when your using it. You can have a serious burn on your hands. Good luck

This caused me to go crazy and test mine to see if it bulged! Luckily, I can thankfully conclude, it has not

Htc take note of this . And test it if it's a global problem or not . We've spent a fortune for this phone. Kindly replace all devices with the problem
Have you taken it to a service center? What did they say? Because I have the same problem here :\
And also, do you by any chance use a silicon case? Because (call me crazy, an idiot, a nonsensical airhead, whatever) I suspect that it might have something to do with it

Guys my touch screen quit working only 2 days after i unlocked the bootloader Everything is stock except for the bootloader. What can i do to fix my issue and whats causing it?
I'm having trouble with mine having a mind of its own it will zoom in and out on its own and things will open and close on their own as well. I suspect it's hardware issues.

If you buy one, the digitizer is what picks up your touches,so I would start there.

Hey
So I just damaged my phone, with some water, though it was not much, and not at all submerged or anything.
At first, my screen flickered, but after a while it just died, and now it doesn't charge or anything either.
Anyways, i'm put it in rice in the hopes that it may be working by tomorrow, but for the time being, I would like to know, that if I was to send it in for warranty, is there a water damage indicator?
I saw this thread, but I can't seem to find that strip, I assume because that is the AT&T/Telstra version, where as mine is the International Unlocked One (S720e)
Bottom line, is there a water damage indicator on the One X? If yes, where is it? And is it triggered by the slightest of moistures, or only if the phone is completely submerged?
Would really appreciate an answer, Thanks in advance
Cheers
There is no water damage lable. We call them LDI, but if there is liquid on your pcb it will be found.

But the thing is, I put it in rice, so the moisture or water will be gone, but I'm afraid the battery might be shorted, so if there's no moisture, there is a chance they'll repair it?
And also, there is no LDI in the ONe X?
Thanks

Mine had some water on it a couple of months ago, but now the camera has stopped working, (its all green and flickering)
When I send it in for repair, they refused to repair it due to water dammage.
Is there anny way to force them into fixing my phone?

Give them money!!
Seriously, if they know it's damaged by water then there's no way to force them to fix under warranty .

A water damaged phone is always considered beyond economical repair as any and most likely all the parts would need replacing.
Basically it costs more to repair it than it would cost to buy a new phone.. So they don't bother with water damaged stuff. Best way, is if you do damage with liquid, to turn it off immediately and remove battery for at least 24 hours and preferably more whilst it dries (in rice etc or a specialised phone drying bag, you can easily find these online)
But generally, if you try to use it whilst wet it's gonna be short circuiting everything and breaking a lot of things (some permanently and some only until it's dry) which is the mistake most people make.

So as long as I understand: There is no LDI under the sim tray on Telstra version of One XL, is that true?
I ask this just incase I misunderstanding you.
Is it possible to replace only the digitizer?
I've broken only the digitizer but don't know about gluing and so...
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I need to change the digitizer, too, but I found that you can't change only that. You need to change lcd+digitizer assembly, because it's impossible to split them because of the hard glue. You might brake the lcd. Also, if you do split them, then you'll have to clean the remained glue. If you do clean that, then you need to apply some sort of glue uniform between the parts, without bubbles. That's what I found.
Now I have a problem with yellow flex cable and green flex cable for the lcd

With that, I found that my panel_id is 0x944701. After searching for that on google, I found that some users have that panel_id after their screen was replaced in HTC Service. But it's an unknown brand. So my display might have been changed before...but I still can't find if I can buy one from ebay. This one for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Displ...X-/251199108419?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
Maybe you can dig more. I'll do more research tomorrow. I'm tired now!
There's a company on eBay that sells used att screens. I got one that had a "scratch" bout 1/2 inch and it looks like a smudge... Most people can't even see it it's that in noticable.. they have a b and c stock as well as the one I got.. name is repair bowl. And they buy your busted screen

Ebay has a lot of LCD+digitizers selling. I guess to be safe you can always look for one with the At&T/HTC logo on the top. chances are they will be the authentic parts. or search OEM HTC ONE X replacement parts in ebay.

It is much safer to buy locally. Maybe it is a bit more expensive,but it's sure original. I bought entire phone for 75€ with busted mainboard and the display is beautiful (had a Chinese one before and did not know it until I saw the difference now )
