When I press my HOX screen at some pressure at the bottom it gives some color inside. Whether this is a problem?

Put some pressure on your monitor (Providing it's an LCD or similar). What do you see?
Why are you pressing a capacitive screen in the first place??
This is a problem, the glas should never touch the lcd.
And why press capacitive touchscreen? While playing games and caught up in the action? Since it is a tegra3 phone, chances are big
Just did a test . Whether the phone can withhold pressure inside the tight jeans and under the pillow while sleeping.

just noticed that mine now as well has that creak on the left hand side..basically when i press the left hand side i can feel it not being in the right place and it makes a noise when i push it down..right side is fine. spoken with my carrier and they said they can not replace it they need to send it to get worked on...and then once i send it they get a quotation of £20 and if i accept then they will try and fix it..i declned that and said you must be joking. spoke to HTC and they said they can not replace it but send it in for repairs..i do not mind that as long as they do not charge me..but they said the carrier should replace it if i am getting dust under the screen...here is hoping..dissappointed..as i really like this phone and already spend like few bucks getting cases for this phone S3 looks more and more appealing now...

And if you don't think it too is going to have its own set of anomalies and QC issues you're a tad naive. Go check out the GN forum, it's the last phone Samsung released. It's a great phone but far from perfect. As is the One X. And as will be the SGS3.

s2 came out never had any issues with that Barry mate. Look i do not want to turn this into a flame war..We both know how it was last week. Nah after clearing my head now i have two options.
One i am waiting an answer from HTC till tomorrow afternoon they said whether they will replace it for me or send it for repairs. If they say they will replace it i have a winner. If they say they will send it for repairs then i will go with my network provider. At least if they fix it i know i shall not have the issues as it will come back brand new.
And the good thing i am covered by warranty as it is the stupid flex issue that everyone is facing..Damn thing creaks like hell when you press on it

I had one of the first SGS2's sold in the UK. It was a train wreck. Here's a list of issues I can remember:
1) Devices overheating to the point they shut down
2) Huge color temperature variations in the displays
3) Wireless (both Wi-Fi and 3G) that was so screwed up Samsung was pushing out updates weekly
4) Fingerprints on the inside of the display
5) USB ports that released and got pushed up in to the phone
6) Flashing covering the camera lens from inside
7) Light showing through from the edges of the bezel
8) Bad headphone jacks
If you had one at launch you have either short or selective memory. After about two months all the QC issues went away and we all know how great a phone the SGS2 ended up being. I kept mine for eleven months; the longest I've ever kept a phone. The point being, no phone is immune from issues especially when they first come out.

If you think about it, the devices we're buying today are about 1000% more complicated than just two years ago. A lot more advanced crap is being pushed in to a smaller space. At the same time, what we're willing to pay at the high-end is kind of fixed so the manufacturers have to juggle all of that while putting out phones at twice the frequency. My biggest ***** with all of them is the obvious lack of testing that takes place. I can forgive some of the QC issues (provided they go away eventually) but the flickering thing is kind of hard to overlook. As was the GN 2G radio problem. Alas, I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. It'll be interesting to see how Samsung fares with the SGS3. People's expectations are so high I think it'll be hard to meet them.

Spot on mate spot on. What would you advise to do mate? I mean phone is fully functional and nothing wrong with it. It is just that gap on the left hand side which is not really visible unless you really look at it and then when you press hard on the left you can feel the phone creaking and trying to adjust the shell to get in place.
I read about screem gap but i was unsure what exactly was meant. I just took a closer look and found out that there is a tiny gap between my screen and phone on top in which dirt fills in and it pisses me off. I havent dropped my screen once and if i push the top left part of my phone i can hear a sort of "click".does that make my phone faulty? Im really annoyed vy the dirt that fills in... Apart from rhat phone has no problems.

send it back. that is what i am doing. left hand side of the phone between the screen and the plastic you can see dust getting inside there to. plus if you press the left hand side tad hard you can hear it creaking as well. i called HTC to see if they could replace it for me straight away without sending it for repairs..waiting for an outcome tomorrow...if they say no i will just send it for repairs and hope they find the problem and either fix it or replace it then...i know it will drag for a week but at least that way you know one way or the other it will get fixed...
i was going to say if it does not bug you then leave it..but you sound just like me that even though the phone works fine it will bug you cause you know it is there
should i go to my provider or directly cpntact htc? And just to understand it better. Gaps are not supposed to be there, am i right?

Dont replace it as you have no other problems. Go to HTC repair center and just fix it. If you replace there may be a chance of getting more faultier one.

no problem my friend. i feel your pain and know what you are going through. i will keep you updated with my one and what happens..keep me updated with yours as well
It amazes me some of the reasons people will find to return an otherwise perfect handset. Considering the amount of serious problems floating about this phone, I don't think a creak or 1mm gap between the bezel and screen constitutes a return. Get over it and enjoy the phone.

I had a creaky SGS for 2 years. I still have it now and it works and looks as good as it did on day one.

Ive heard that the one x was made in 2 different countrys taiwan and china... china being the worst built ones buttt I must have a really faulty dhd. I've had it for 10 months now and my screen moves, doesn't fit right on the phone as there should be a lip round it but isn't my speaker isn't straight so is sloping. Looks like the cnc machine hasn't cut it right. Power button is really recessed too far in..... I think a little sqweek is nothing to really worry about if the screen falls out then ya I'd send it back.

well that is what worries me about the whole damn thing..if it gets to hot to soon and in two months down the line the screen actually does fall out
TBH ive just checked mine and it does have a slight gap with lint building up already (bare in mind ive had this phone 2 days) Also have the yellow blotch on the screen AND a dead pixel. This is by far the best phone ive ever owned...But my word these little niggles are grating on my moobs! Ive never had to send a phone off to a repair centre before but im not really willing to put up with the problems the phone has (however ridiculously small they seem to some ) You expect some software issues in an early batch, but dead pixels, discoloured screens, gaps occuring out of nowhere between the screen, its a bit much really! Im gunna have to get it sent off soon i think, gutted!

Vacuum cleaner with a soft piece of cloth on the vacuum tube to avoid scratches.
Just another option

Do you even realize how big 1mm is?!!!! Get a ruler and see please....
I doubt even a blind person could enjoy a phone with a gap big as that. You would not just see this, but also feel.
I have a gap that's about 0,1-2 mm big (measuring with paper, which is about that in average I think 0,1 till 0,3 I think but also not sure) and its around the whole screen on both sides of the ring.
Ugh...1mm...
But seriously guys, how big are the gaps it makes you return it?
I mean should I return it with 0,1 mm ? (maybe less) seen a bigger gap on SGS 2.
Hi, this is my first post so id like to say hi.
This place has been a mine of info for me during my two weeks of owning my HOX.
I am now onto my third White HOX.
This morning i swapped it as the screen flexing was becoming too much of an annoyance. The first phone had a faulty battery, the second one flex and low and behold this one also has flex issues.
I swapped it at carphone warehouse. I have to say they have been very good. The manager served me today and bought out 7 white phones all of which had the flex issue. He has given me the best of the worst. I just hope this battery is ok. He apologised and said maybe the new batches would be better but its shocking quality control and he is sending all of the white ones back to HTC asap and demanding an explanation.
My main issues with the flexing is i am worried i might break the screen.
anyway seen now that Amazon have withdrawn the white HOX, wonder if CPW will be next! (and no im not flaming this i actually want to like the phone i came from an Iphone 4)

what is CPW?
why do you associate it with colour? The same didn't apply for the gray/black?

My own survey of a number of headsets does actually suggest that flexing is less on grey handsets. Hamdir supposed that the accuracy of the moulding of the polycarbonate has an effect on this. If so, then assuming the grey ones come out of a different mould, perhaps they are generally more "to shape" and hence are having fewer issues. All guesses of course
Both phones have the same issues, just majority of people are buying the white whats why there are "more" defected white HOX.
I wonder what's going on with the white phones. Me and my friend both bought ours from amazon around the 20th of April and we both have perfect ones, no issues that software updates didn't fix. I thought it was just a minority of people having problems, but now I'm starting to feel really lucky!!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I too have had no bother with my One x....got it from Amazon ,pre ordered it a week before the came out.....
MY phone is 100% except for the software fixes that they have got.....
I am thinking I am lucky also .
My HTC ONE X is white and model number HT23HW.
yeah there is a return and replacements thread for this kind of thing. there are probably threads about the issues like that flex already as well. but congratulations for making another post just like the others so that more people will follow and do the same. =]
Must admit mine is fine too .Its grey and I've had it since launch. Really am beginning to think mine is an exception

There's no such thing as a "white" One X. There is a One X which is built as a single unit and during the last stage of assembly placed in to either a white or grey body. I'd also venture to guess that the both the grey and white bodies are pressed using the same molds. I can't imagine anything unique about the white polycarbonate body that could possibly make it perform differently than a grey one. It's a piece of non-conductive plastic.

Quite simply if the body was undersized, or distorted in some way, such that it was pressing where it shouldn't, then a number of issues could result. I doubt that the white and grey bodies come out of the same mold. That would mean they would have to produce one or the other at any one time.
I agree, if the moulds were some how off ever so slightly then the phone wouldnt perform correctly (flex, ripples etc) my new one has a gap at the top of the screen where dust likes to gather.

There have been more polls, informal counts, and banter about issues on this forum than any other I've ever participated in. One went down to the day and month the phone was built. With all of this searching for a pattern, I assure you if color played a role it couldn't have escaped the eagle eyes of the participants of this forum who examine each phone with a neuron microscope. I've been in product management and can also assure you that the tolerances capable of drilling the microscopic speaker holes mean that the formation of the overall body isn't what's out of spec and causing technical challenges. It's not a piece of Lego.
Believe what you want, rationality left this forum weeks ago.
Hi all,
Recently i have discovered a small gap on my HTC One X on the bottom right part between the screen and its body where a light passes through. It can only be noticed on a dark room. Any thoughts about it? Thanks!

From what I have seen it happens on quite a lot of the devices. I even have it on mine. As you said though it can only be noticed in the dark. Not sure if it is actually happening on everyone's device?

I would say gaps to a certain degree are on all devices. I seen only 5 or so different one x , different series 23_26 etc. Read about more . But all had some gap.
There are people claiming about no gap. Would have to see it to believe it.
Only thing is if it's too big, dusts get under screen, try to get a better one. Also test for screen ripple. Too much exchange it.

Right, so got my original m8 around 6-7 weeks ago, and had it replaced a few days ago. I'm sure I've noticed a few differences.
1. New phone has small sticker on the left hand side at the bottom saying made in China.
2. New phone appears to have a brighter LED notification light.
3. On the new phone, I can feel the HTC letters on the back, I never noticed this with the original.
4. Not 100% sure, but I think the screen is brighter/clearer.
Any thoughts?
HTC (as well as most smartphone manufacturers) often uses more than one supplier for the various components. So seeing some variation in the displays and other parts is not unusual. I know on my old One X EVITA, it was known they used 2 different manufacturers for the display.
The HTC letters on the back are actually separate pieces inlaid into the back plate (as far as I can tell, and this has been the case on past HTC phones). So its normal for you to be able to feel them. It could be you just didn't notice before, or the pieces were a little more "flush" with the surface on your old phone and you were able to feel them a little less.

No idea about the Made in China sticker..don't have one. But AFAIK they are made in both China and Taiwan.
The screens are confirmed as being from different manufacturers and therefore having different colors etc. More info in a thread here somewhere..search for it
Also the gunmetal color version has two different versions with small variations..I think the lettering was one of the differences noted but not sure.
As for the LED, I don't think so but beware that the light level seems to differ a lot according to which notification is being used. For instance the battery charging/low battery is quite dim, while the sms/email notification lights it up a lot more.
