I sold my HTC One-X+ and got an excellent condition HTC One M7 off Ebay.....BUT, turned on camera....pink screen appeared, hours later found out that it's a VERY common fault with the HTC One M7 etc.
So, Ebay are going to refund me and I'm thinking of getting the M8 Instead.
But before I do, can anyone confirm there are no camera issues or nightmares I need to be aware of etc.
Thanks.
Matt.

Hello,
I have a HTC Desire HD that has just died on me, it just stopped detecting the SIM car. Everything else works just fine.
Gave it to HTC service here in India and they gave me a quote of 13000 INR ($260) to replace it. Since its out of warranty (15 days over) I'll have to bear the expense.
Now I got this phone for 25000 INR($500) it makes no sense to go for this replacement. Now my dilema here is what more can I do with this phone besides using it as a glorifed paper weight
I doubt root it would solve this issue. But would love to hear from you.
Kind regards
I'd just went out of the similar problem. One day my DHD turn off and... That's all ! It just turn of and never came back. I'd to send it to HTC support, they return it to me saying something like "we changed the motherboard".
Now I think "Whatdafuck is this phone whitch can die one day without any aparent reason !!". At it's next death I'll get a Motorola.

Atleast you were lucky that you device was under warranty. I am well and truly screwed.
cheers
Personally, I'd get it repaired, since you could easily get another years' use out of it (more, but other devices will start to make it look old).
That would then work out at $20/month, compared to say $40 ($500/12 months) for a new phone, even via an operator's subsidy.
I'd also let HTC do it so that they can respond directly, should anything go wrong.
Sorry I saw you replied.
If you pay the HTC support can repair your phone.

I would try to buy very cheap non working phone with broken digitizer or similar - many people (at least in europe) sell their phones when they are broken and get new ones. And I would change the mainboard myself. its not that difficult. Ive done it with my old htc topaz...
Suffering at the hands of HTC
Last week, my 1.5 years old Desire 816 was working absolutely flawlessly. 5 seconds later, I pick it up and it is dead! :crying:
The HTC Service Center guys are asking for Rs. 9,700 for changing the Motherboard and I am like WT*. I can buy a new phone at that price. A bit of research and find out that Motherboard issues are very common in HTC. This surely was my last HTC phone.
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any way I can get this phone repaired in the open market?
2. I was using CDMA as my primary number. I am not finding any other reputed manufacturer who has CDMA smartphones. I am not willing to ditch CDMA as of now. Any suggestions for a good smartphone that is not HTC?
Good day guys,
I've read a number of threads on this forum about HOX screen problems and never quite had any until a couple of days ago.
All of a sudden I started getting yellow and pink pixels all over my screen. I thought that this was just a software issue in the beginning so I rooted, formated, installed a custom rom, and no luck, still have the same problem with the screen.
There is a number of interesting facts about this problem:
1) I have this when I restart the phone, in the boot menu, in the clockwork recovery, you can see the edge of the pixels being pink or some other random color.
2) When I press down hard enough around the volume+ area the problem seems to go away.
I wonder where this is the GPU dying on me, or perhaps this has to do with the connectors that run to the screen?
The phone never fell, or had any major damage, I did have it in my pocket all the time and when sitting down I guess that could stress the exterior of the phone.
Here are the pics:

I really do wonder if I can get it back for warranty now, since its rooted, since this is obviously a hardware problem rather than software.
There is only one way to find out. They might repair it for free if you ask nicely enough.

Display issue.Get it to nearest HTC.
Over m'sia HOX is one to one warranty for first year that's why i picked my One X over S3 as i own a S3 before and RMA takes up to 3month.
Goodluck

Would be nice to get a one to one replacement accept that I bought it in The Netherlands and I am currently in Minsk, Belarus for work)))
Man its a nightmare reading all the HTC One X problems, HTC has always made such nice phones, and they messed up just a bit along the way.
Hi.
I Want to buy Htc One X and as always I read a lot about the phone I want to buy.
I found strange screen problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2mcIM4i3Xk I had the same in my HTC Sensation.
Have anybody similar problem or is this a rare case ?
Thanks for your answer.
I'm pretty sure that's a rare case... No issue like this at all over here... And even if you face such an issue, htc will fix it for sure as it will be in warranty.
So go ahead and buy the hox! However if i were you, i would wait for the m7 though.
Dear all,
this is a farewell to you all after almost a year in the HOX forum.
I would like to thank you all for your help in the noumerous problems I have encountered with my HOX.
After a screen replacement in July and also a mainboard and battery replacement in September the HOX worked for 1 week before experiencing BSOD.
Service said they would have to replace the mainboard and battery once again.
All repairs were done on warranty.
HTC Greece declined to replace the device so I decided enough was enough and went over their head mailing HTC Europe.
HTC Europe at once forwarded request for replcement and within a week came back with official info that my device will be replaced with the HTC One in the upcoming week.
So with my farewell I d like if I may to give a word of advice.
When in problem with your device contact HTC directly through the www.htc.com site mail cause as I understand that Local Dealers are pure rabbish.....
All in all I gain a new device but somehow I am sure I will miss my briliant HOX(when it was working) and our camera as HTC ONE is very bad in that section
wow thats great!!:highfive:
Contacted htc europe before and they contacted me back. The conversation ended with me screaming that they are incapable braindead idiots. They said sir just use your data connection if your wifi is not working that kinda pushed me...over the hedge

Hi guys,
so i just got an htc one m8 eye by a local retailer in my country, on my previous htc i had android 5.0.1 on it and wwas running smoothly. My question is that if i s-off and install a htc one m8 firmware and and full system and the device, will the camera cause any problem? i know the normal, original m8 has got a 4up shooter whereas the m8 eye has a 13mp.
will i encounter any problem if i do convert the phone into an european one?
They have some hardware differences so I don't think it will work.
You could very well brick. Not a great idea unless you find from a reliable source that it's possible.
