Common issue:
People that don't know what they're doing and are to lazy to read up messing up and soft bricking their devices.
Not so common issues but has been reported:
Lettering falling out on the back of the device
Camera showing some purple tint in low light
SIM cards not being picked up / read. Possibly not making proper contact
Some reports of camera lenses cracking
Have seen some people say that they have some dropped calls and/or SMSs not sending
Any other issues might possibly have been discussed in the Build Quality Concerns thread, might want to drop there and have a look at it.

Pink Tint again? Like the M7? Oh Boy :/
Why can't giant manufacturers like HTC and Sony get things perfect even for once :/

Yeah like the M7 though I haven't seen a lot of reports of it and I haven't noticed a problem like that on my device either.
And yes, it would be nice to have things perfect if you take into consideration the price we pay for these devices. :good:

Exactly. Just about 10 months back I bought this G2 wi the same price the HTC One M8 is offered now in my country and after 7-8 months of usage suddenly i get this weird touch sensor issue and then after weeks it come to a point i cant even operate the phone properly and end up spending around $130 to change the whole display for it.
Thats the main reason I am changin this phone to get something which is reliable for a long period. Orelse i really loved my G2 and intended to keep it for atleast a Whole year more.

one common problem is the camera lens... even if you keep the phone in a case all the time, u are likely to get scratches on the lens, causing blur/soft pictures. but fret not! turns out its just some coating on it and can easily be removed with car polish or toothpaste.

HTC ONE X problems all over the media in Taiwan

Phone is supposedly filled with flaws and problems
http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aECO&ID=201204180041
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys-v5319SWU
my one x hadn't been experiencing most of the issues posted around the forum (no flickering or build quality issues).
however, after watching the video, i tried what the person in the video did: held the notification bar near the top of the screen.
had to try a few times but on the third attempt, after a few seconds the date started flickering, as per the video
opened the camera app after doing so and the bottom section of the viewfinder exhibited the same flickering green noise, as per the video
I would like to know whether this is a software issue that has been addressed in the 1.28 update, if anyone with an updated one x could try this and post results, it'd be much appreciated.
I can't update myself yet (on a branded optus phone from australia)
I did get a flicker on the notification bar (very rarely) but once I installed a custom ROM (based on 1.28) I haven't had it since
Haven't been able to replicate any of the issues from the video.
I'm on 1.28

i've had two both are 100% fine, first got sent back because it had a dead pixel but rest was fine.
i haven't had any issues no flicker, no screen bugs and so on.
After update 1.28.... none of the above issue....just a s/w bug... i dont call them flaws..
Any one translate what is said? Was there a response from HTC?
Also what is the thing they use to "scan" the screen and what is it doing?
It looked like a digital thermometer gun to me. I imagine they were taking temperature readings and pointing out that it gets warm. Which it does
more one bashing
Taiwan is a tiny island full of people wanting to be an important part of the world in their own right (China take note). Typically they are very patriotic about their own products. So this kind of publicity is not bashing but a sign of genuine disappointment from their previous electronics heros, HTC

I'm on 1.28 and after sliding the notification bar slowly the date starts to flicker. No green flickering when i'm using the camera though.
they have every right to panic, the amount of defects and issues for such a flagship highly praised device is disheartening, consumers we were waiting for this so badly and found themselves stuck in endless loop of returns
as for the glitches, the status bar glitch is clearly a sense bug, its not there if the transparency is removed from the status bar, the glitch is still there in the 1.28 firmware being the same glitch in the same location for all devices means its not defect
all the glitches you see in the video are software or tegra related, most likely solvable by updates, they occure in all devices randomly and sometimes they don't appear for days or they appear once n disappear, if they stick a software reboot will clear them out
if this is not dealt with quickly, im pretty sure it will be last time HTC touches an Nv SOC
OH NO!!! NOT SOFTWARE BUGS!!!
Seriously? The One X has the most stable release firmware I've ever used. The Galaxy Nexus was laggy as hell and had absolutely terrible battery life. The LG Optimus 2X... well, it would be quicker to list the things that WERE alright with that phone. The Dell Streak 5? Oh dear.
My point is, EVERY phone (or at least every phone I've owned) that ever gets released has, quite frankly, pretty poor firmware, but all the phones listed above became pretty damn awesome after flashing custom ROMs and modifying them.
People expect their new phone to be perfect, which is a very naive way of thinking; no phone is EVER going to be perfect. There will be problems, some we can fix, some we can't. Luckily, most of the problems with the One X seem fixable with updates.
I also cannot replicate ANYTHING in that video.
I wonder if different markets/countries get different quality handsets, some countries have much stricter regulations on faulty goods than others.

My have used nexus one, desire, and sensation xl and frankly they have some bugs but very minor and none are a show stopper compared to the issues faced on the one x. Those phones work pretty well on stock roms and dont expect everyone to unlock and flash customs roms.
Essentially the people in the video are talking about the appearance of artifacts/screen glitches in the UI.
Apparently, after the glitches come up from holding onto the notification bar, they appear in the camera app as well. It's also mentioned that the bottom of the screen runs relatively hot, and the high temperature could be a reason for the display artifacts.
The guy being interviewed at 0:52 proposes that due to the fact that phones are getting thinner, inner components are more closely knit. As a result, there is little room for any build-up of heat to disperse, which could transfer over to the camera module and cause the artifacts shown earlier in the video when the camera app was open.
At 1:04 onwards, HTC supposedly responded by saying that a limited number of customers have brought up this complaint. They are working as quickly as possible to release an 'emergency' fix by the end of April.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

well we cant deny that HTC kinda rushed into putting Tegra3 into the One X. Its a relatively new chip used in a phone and i guess the bugs werent all kinked out yet thats why.
But i have no complains with them releasing the One X close to its announcement. Consumers can get turned off waiting for too long. Again, they just have to be committed in releasing updates to solve the issues. Make or break situation for them!

Just ordered a HTC One X, what should I look out for?

Reading these forums, i've noticed quite a few people have got faulty phones. What should I look out for and how can I tell I've got a fully functioning model?
I heard that that screen flickering issue was a software bug so I don't think I need to worry about that?

First off, I would stop reading about problems and enjoy your device. Everyone is so worried about the screen falling off and what tint/flashing. I'm sure problems exist, but don't spend all your time going over it with a magnifier to find something. Enjoy it !

Serious camera issues...

Hi all,
I got my One X a few weeks ago, very soon after launch (O2). Initially I was very happy with my purchase but now I'm left extremely frustrated with this handset and regretting buying it - screen flicker, dropped calls, lots of little bugs, and now... The camera won't work!
I've been using it quite a bit since I bought it, but yesterday I was using it (no settings changed) and each time I took a picture there was either corruption in the image or a blank image with an exclamation mark icon instead of the picture. This now seems to happen almost every time I try to take a shot - I've done the following in an attempt to rectify:
1. Reboot handset
2. Ensured no other apps are running prior to using camera
3. Reset camera settings to default
4. Ensured phone was fully charged
5. Ensured I have enough free storage space (~22GB free)
I'm not going to perform a factory reset because I'm not convinced it's going to help anything AND I shouldn't really have to do that! I haven't got time to completely reconfigure my phone.
Still, I'm unable to take a photo and this is *really* annoying me! A premium handset with issues all over the place... Unacceptable!
Now I'm left thinking I'm going to go back to O2 and demand replacement with a SGS3, because by the looks of things HTC haven't actually fixed most of the bugs we're all experiencing.
Such a shame - had so much potential and a genuinely amazing device to pick up and use in many ways, but it's quite frankly not fit for purpose if I can't make reliable calls, take pictures or use the screen without serious flickering.
Has anyone else experienced these camera issues I described above?
Apologies for the tl;dr, just a very frustrated HOX owner.
So because you got a faulty phone all the others out there are not fit for purpose?
OK got ya that seems fair
There's something wrong with your particular phone, just get it replaced. The vast majority of people have no flaws whatsoever.
Lol... They won't offer a refund until you do a factory reset. I guarantee a factory reset will fix the problem. Stop having a cry are you 12 or something.

Oh the irony of a childish response like that. That's how keyboard warriors really show their age.
For the record no, I'm significantly older and understandably annoyed by the poor quality of a ~£500 handset that I worked hard to pay for.
And as for the vast majority of people having no flaws - really?! I don't believe that for a second - by the looks of most of the boards a high proportion of HOX handsets have issues.
So yeah, I'm quite understandably frustrated - didn't realise how defensive this forum is lol

Yes really. It'd be incredibly foolish to assume that XDA users are representative of the majority of phone users and even more foolish to assume that people who have flawless phones will be just as vociferous as those with flawed phones.

Why don't you try and reflash your phone with a RUU or return it for replacement?
Well that's what I've done - just booked it in with O2 so will see what happens.
Still interested to know whether anyone has had this camera issue though?

No just no. A high proportion of XDA USERS' HOX's have problems. Maybe because most have noticed a problem and have done a google search to find xda as one of the first links. They sign up and vote/make a topic about their problem, now to you and the rest of us it looks like most of the handsets are suffering from some sort of problem.
Most take this on board without looking at the big picture, those normal run of the mill users that don't have any use for xda, don't post about problems because they don't have any.
Stop being so closed minded xda is not the be all and end all of android. There are users out there that have never herd of xda or even ics.
It's pointless complaining here with such an aggressive attitude just do the factory reset and be done with it atleast if you do it now you'll be able to backup your apps via abd/fastboot.
IMHO your just childish, you need to suck it up and stop being such a girl.

Right, so how about the fact that I've actually read a variety of other forums including some of the operators' own too? You have ASSUMED that I have only looked at XDA.
Aggressive?! Childish?! I think you're reading into things too much here... What part of "man pays relatively large sum for device and is disappointed by its many flaws" do you not get?
Anyway, this is boring me; I guess I'll never know if anyone else actually has the same camera issues...
Lol you still don't get it. Some people just do not know about forums. Unless you get a number from HTC that states how many returns per device made. Nobody, not you or me will know. Not reading anything other than what's on my screen. I'm defensive, by logic you're aggressive.
I guess you won't. Everyone else just ran a factory reset instead of crying about it.
Anyway like most of the threads on here its no longer about the op's post and more about the ego of the people posting. I'll admit I am at fault sorry if I derailed your thread..

Adamsharif;
You do seem to have a phone that, under UK law does not appear to be fit for the purpose for which it is intended, regardless of the warranty obligations of HTC.
In reality, you should back everything up and factory reset the phone, if only to rule out any problems which could be solved, by doing this. If then, the phone does not work, you are well within your rights to demand a refund or a replacement.
If you're not willing to do a simple reset to fix potential issue, HTC and the users here are definitely not going to be willing to help you out. We can't reset the phone for you, but you still want to fix it by using and looking at the phone until it behaves itself.

Here you go, proof that the majority of XDA members have no issues whatsoever with their device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082
Of course, people with no problems don't post much on forums, so the actual, real-world results of such a poll would be MUCH more one-sided.
As for your camera problem, many people have suggested fixes; Factory Reset, re-flashing RUU and, if all else fails, return the device and get a refund/replacement.
People seem to think their £500 device is going to be perfect. Don't get me wrong, It SHOULD be perfect, but no device is ever going to be. The HTC One X issues are also relatively minor compared to some devices that came before it.

Ok, I guess I shouldn't have been so stubborn - currently backing up the device and will do a factory reset.
The backlight issue, however, is the one I'm returning for - the thing I find strange about both that and the camera issue is that they suddenly appear which really makes me feel that there are hardware issues in the first batch.
Lesson learned - don't buy a handset as soon as it comes out!
Personally I feel that mobile manufacturers need to undertake better testing and not rush their products to market - if you look at many of the recent handsets from Apple, Samsung, HTC there have been a lot of silly issues which have damaged reputations.
If I can have a HOX with working camera, backlight and calling it will be the perfect device!
You don't want to change your phone and yet you can't live with the problems. What do you want? Just ranting? Got it.

ALL THE CORRUPTION ISSUES EXCEPT FLICKER are solved by firmware 1.29
My new hox was updated to 1.29 two days after I bought it, I never encountered the said issues, also flicker is related to overheat on 1.29 the phone temperature is a lot better
you regret buying the most praised and critically acclaimed android phone lol
I think we're being a little harsh on adamsharif, I love my HOX but its not without it's flaws and some of the 1.26 bugs were just messy...the phone shouldn't have been released with this firmware...it was rushed but I can understand why with the SG3 looming!
Unfortunately the average user turns to a forum when he / she has issues, the average user doesn't sign up to XDA to just say how happy they are, some do, just not your average joe, so it all looks like doom & gloom!
£500 is a lot of money, should we have to factory reset it after a few days / weeks? Should we not expect a near perfect product considering the money spent....I don't know....android isnt a perfect OS so I think the arsehole answer is get an iPhone!? I think in 3 months time we'll all be happier and mostly problem free!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Guys please stop the pointless comments.
Back on topic. I suggest you try a third party camera app from market and see if that works. If it works, i too believe that hard reset will solve the problem. Also, don't underestimate hard reset. It usually solves most unknown issues

[Q] Touch issues, hardware or software?

Hey guys, i just got my N7 last thursday and I noticed the sporatic touch issues. Cant click a link until i zoom in quite a bit, scrolling a page stops and starts as i drag my finger across the screen. Its pretty annoying.
I started looking into it and i see lots of people having these problems.
So, is there a definite answer?
Is this a software bug that can potentialy be fixed? Or is this a hardware issue?
I am debating on returning the tablet... Which sucks because other than the touch issues, its been running great.
Thanks guys.
No.
No definitive answer.
And don't expect one from Google/ASUS.
Sfhub has a fix that, if you work through the options, has over an 80% success rate. You'll need to unlock the N7 and follow his instructions exactly.
That leaves the balance of <20% which are most likely hardware.
Your choice. (Maybe) fix it yourself, or keep returning until you get a 'good' one.
Personally, if I still had the option, I'd keep returning it until I got a 'good' one. Let them choke on the defective ones. We're paying them for a working device. Why should we have to fix them?

IMO it is ultimately a hardware variance in almost all cases, but in some cases it can be compensated for in software.
Google acknowledged the issue months ago, issued a fix that fixed some units and broke others, but has since crawled back into a cave and have not said another word.

Yeah, thats what i've gathered from all the posts i've read over the past two days.
Thats why Im willing to try the software side of things first. I figured its worth a shot.
I think it's hardware, the severity depends on your touch firmware (which I suggest you experiment with) and your eye for details. Mine works fine for the most part, sometimes it doesn't realize I lifted my finger off the screen but it's not a deal breaker. I still think it's pretty unacceptable, after years of capacitive touchscreens, I expect them to be flawless by now.
I just got mine today and mine is having issues. I don't know if I should tinker with the software or just send it back. I definitely need to do something about it though, it's an absolute pain for me to use.

[Q]LG G3 Text Oversharpening Fix

I know that this issue applies to all devices but people have different eyesight and some are not noticing it.
My question is, since LG releases its source codes and the bootloader has been unlocked for this device, are there any chances that this text sharpening issue can be fixed? because without this issue this would be the perfect phone that i've owned.
P.S. Devs please! we need you guys to save the world. Heck i will even pay 100$ just to fix this issue.

I've checked in the past in the kernel source but didn't find out to disable... I will do for sure other test but for now we must live with it.
I really don't understand how some people cant see it
Thanks sir Skin1980 for taking this issue into consideration. For people with good eyesight like me it is a serious hindrance especially while reading texts with thin font types.
I even compared three G3's with different batches from my friends and officemates. All i can say is this oversharpening is there for all those three. Funny thing is my friend also noticed this but said it is not bothering him that much. And my officemate using glasses is completely clueless and doesn't notice any oversharpening. LOL
I hope this gets fixed sometime maybe before christmas. It will be a great present for us G3 users
50$ from me to whoever finds a proper fix .
You get used to it over time. But it's still there. It's always there. It never disappears.
I am now thinking that this is an hardware issue since when in twrp i can also notice the white halo on the texts.
Anyway, as time goes by i am getting used to it and my eyes are adjusting already. Maybe we g3 users can just live with it. Aside from this issue this is the perfect phone for me.
