Just got my device all set up and did a quality control check. No warped body, no yellow spots, no flickering, pretty much perfect. Except the vibration. When I get a text the vibration is super strong. Like the device rattles and makes noise. Anybody else seeing this? I know it's something that could be fixed with root. But obviously that's not an option yet.
Mine makes a small "woosh" whirring noise when it vibrates, too.
The vibration on my phone is pretty timid compared to my aria.

coming from gnex this thing is nuts. I like it overall except when im typing. Way to strong.
I'm sure the ladies will enjoy this phone
...that's why she keeps taking it

I think it's just HTC's style. I remember my HTC Tilt vibrated like an earthquake also, lol. Maybe it was designed by women...?
I'd rather have too strong of vibration than too weak like the captivate.

Has anyone noticed variations in how strong the vibration is across the MT4G? I originally ordered two on a family plan and have exchanged one of these a few times. I noticed that the one original one that I've kept (a plum one) has a nice strong (and loud) vibration, while the few black ones I have had through exchanges have all had a relatively weak vibration (some more weak than others - and all weaker than the plum). Any other thoughts or experiences with this?
I have the white version. I remember first turning on the phone and thinking "HOLY CRAP, THE VIBRATION ON THIS IS A MONSTER". Definitely the strongest vibration I've seen in any phone I've ever owned. I found it to be unusual at first, but I've gotten used to it.
I have a white one with the new screen and it the vibrate is alot louder than my g2. I love it!

I got a black one and it has strong vibration. Kinda wish you could adjust the intensity, like you can on the Galaxy S. These have a much better screen than those, though...
Comparing my black model to my friend's plum model, I can definitely say the plum has a much stronger vibration effect. That doesn't matter to me though, since I keep all vibrating functions disabled.

Agreed. I find vibration alerts to be annoying. The first thing I do after flashing a new rom is disable the vibration alerts.
Mine seems to be just perfect for me, not too strong but enough to alert me. I would like to compare them to other MT4Gs just for the sake of knowing where mine stands though.
Just received my replacement with the "superior" screen, and yeah, the vibration is noticeably weaker on the newer phone. Not to say that it's necessarily "bad", just that my original phone had ridiculously strong vibration.
Anyway, obviously not a deal breaker, and having the better display is way, way more important. Loving this phone again.
My vibration is fine. Definitely feels more natural than the Vibrants vibration.

I just bought a g2x today. Didn't notice the screen bleed until I read about it. Just wondering what this does or the negative effect it has on my phone.

It just might be that my phone doesn't have screen bleeding as severe as other phones, but if I didn't read about it I probably wouldn't have noticed.
Yea that's what I'm thinking. I didn't hear about a single problem with the phone until I got it lol. Idk how bad mine is in relation to others but I don't want to exchange it and get one that's worse

No it does not affect usability at all. Some have posited that when Gingerbread gets released it will be more noticable on its dark notification bar. Some have also complained that their screen bleed has progressed to "bars" but I've only seen that a few times. I think virtually everyone will tell you it's a non issue.
That said, IMO, it is the lack of a real response that is indicative of the biggest issue of all.That being the lack of real support. People are getting them replaced, but that's it. I just want a phone that works. I have had a lot of issues. Getting a new one every two weeks is no fun. I'm in limbo now. I'm sick of re-entering everything....I really am. I just want a phone that works all the time with full functionality.Just get a new one is fine....but this is stupid.

So am I lol. Not with G2x but other phones. I am just looking for one that works. I need an international phone. I want one with a ffc to video chat to home. I want to future proof my device and I am doing that with a ffc, 4g, and a dual core processor. Its not an issue for me but I dont want it to become one.
not a thing, just crazy people having to have something to complain about. it really isn't serious at all.

Im using Cm7 right now and it has a black bar on top and I notice that the side with light bleed looks a little washed out compared to the rest of the bar. You notice it even if its not dark but probably not if the lights are really bright

the colors on this thing look beautiful and I'm wondering if when gb comes with its black status bar will things start to look a little off.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The effect is purely cosmetic and is a result of the sort of screen the G2x uses. Most phones use a LED screen, particularly AMOLED and Super AMOLED. The G2x uses an LCD screen, which is what most TVs use.
LCD screens are much, much brighter (my old AMOLED screen's optimum brightness in daylight was 100%, this one is 25%) and displays colors with much more vibrance, but it doesn't handle black very well. Turn on your television in a dark room to an empty channel (like DVD when the dvd player isn't on) and you'll see the same effect.
Personally, I don't mind. In fact, I prefer the LCD: the brightness and color is more than good enough to offset the bleed.

After using the leaked 2.3.3 update, I can tell you that it definitely does look odd, but only when you're in a pitch-black room.
That's what I was worried about. Are you going to keep it? I'm trying to debate if I will or not. I do not really want the sensation

Vibration while typing is not loud, however the vibration while receiving texts is quite loud... Is it just my phone or do others notice this as well?
I realize that "too loud" is relative, however my old phone didn't make any noise while vibrating...

yeah it's ridiculous. Maybe someone will find where the vibration intensity settings (if they exist) are buried.
Mine's fine. I mean, I'll hear it if it's sitting on a hard surface like my desk, but if it's in my pocket, I feel the vibration but definitely don't hear it. The vibration on my DHD was audible. Not loud enough to be worried about it, but the One X is definitely quieter.
As for vibration intensity, we'll almost certainly get a mod to adjust this.
Yeah I hear mine more than I feel it in my pocket. It ruins the whole being discrete with text messages or notifications.
Definitely freaking loud as heck.

I'll second this. Should do more vibration, less buzzing. Thin phone, little room for motor and weight spinner...
There has to be some buried settings... The key vibration is nice and mellow... No reason we shouldn't be able to lighten up the notification buzz.
The iPhone 4S introduced a new type of vibration unit that is silky smooth... Hope Apple don't have it patented... Should be used on all future phones.
Got a new HTC One X Rogers version.
One dead pixel.
Screen ripples with pressure on the side.
Small light bleeding at the bottom.
That's about it.
I bought it off someone. No returning it.
I'm going to try my best to deal with it, I mean who cares about the light bleed? I'm not staring at a black background in the dark all night so I won't see it much, the dead pixel is so tiny and somewhere where I won't notice it too often unless I look and I never regularly apply that much pressure when using my phone so the other issue is okay too. Phew... calm down. No need to resell it. Ugh.
Whatever this is a decent phone but HTC get your freaking QC together.

Every One X I've seen has that screen ripple when putting quite a bit of pressure on the sides/corners of the display
Okay that means all I'm really dealing with is the light leak (makes the bottom part of phone bright and a dead pixel.
For instance it's black but around the bottom there is globs of light that makes it slightly less black and more grey... light leak. Meh barely noticeable.
YES I CAN DEAL WITH IT A FREAKING DEAD PIXEL PHEW. I CAN DO IT.
I returned mine over a dead pixel, it also had light bleed but I was fine with that. My new one is flawless in every aspect.

Sigh... still trying to deal with it lol but this is really so disappointing...
The fact that HTC has such a great design but this phone is screwed up by the various issues because HTC doesn't have good QC.
Dead pixels
Wifi Issue
Screen Banding
Screen flickering
Screen rippling
Build Quality in general from creaking to glass problems
List goes on. Honestly I had a Galaxy Note before this.... 0 problems.

Haha Yeah, I'm quite pleased except with these two issues...
Galaxy Note was a bit too unpolished with TouchWiz 4.0 and I didn't want to brick it with flashing ROMs and I figured the Sense 4.0 would be smooth and I was right.
Stupid dead pixel. That's all that's bothering me right now because that's all that I can see ATM haha.
Naw it's sold ):
all i have is a little bit of light bleed from the bottom which from the looks of it most people have.
Ohh, dont push on the screen
I figured out my bleed at the bottom was actually light spilling from the capacitive buttons.. OP did you try a pixel fixer app? Worked on my nexus1 back in the day.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Probably same here for me too, capacitative button light leak. Meh :/ And I did but it doesn't seem to work. I assume it's stuck and not dead because it's white lights up?
Try rubbing it with a pencil eraser. Also, the Amaze suffers from light-bleed from the capacitive keys too, I'm sure a fix to turn them off will be out in time.
So I am just wondering if I'm just have a run of bad luck. Bought my one x the release day. Few days later started seeing dead pixels all over the screen. Took it to att and they swap it out no problem.
Second one seem fine the first day but then I notice tons of light leakage like the screen wasnt in all the way around the bottom and right side. The screen would also wiggle and make a popping sound if I pressed on it on the bottem left corner, right corner, and top right corner. The plastic on the bottom would also move if I pressed it.
I happen to luck out and found an att close by that had one in (damn you apple). Now this one the screen is clicking even worse than the second one. If I wipe the screen off I can hear it clicking and popping with even the lightest pressure. Also have light leakage across the bottom again and what looks like single dots almost like a dead pixel even though there is no pixel by the buttons where light is shining through the black. I expect to have att replace this one also.
So I was just wondering am I have terrible luck or should I expect this from all hox? I love the device but really wont keep it if I keep getting shotty devices.
That's some pretty bad luck... Still on my first. No problems except for the tiniest bit of bleed on one side, and I cannot over emphasize tiny. Hope it stays that way too.
Still on first as well

You must have been on a streak of bad luck for your HOX...
I am currently on my second. The first one had a defect in the upper-right side (near the volume rocker and front-facing camera) where it would very loudly "creak" whenever I picked it up and/or was using it. And the screen/display in that area was "mushy" as I was able to be push the internal casing into the polycarbonate shell a few millimeters without hardly any force at all.
I bought it at Best Buy and when I brought it in I just asked IF it would be considered a defect and they suggested replacing it without me even asking. The second one I got is very solid in comparison to the issues from the first one but the volume rocker does "wiggle" a bit and the bottom (near the microphone) "creaks" but only if I apply direct pressure on it. I understand the nature of how the internal "frame" is placed into the "shell" so I don't think those are issues at all so I am very pleased with the build quality. Also, I keep it in a Otterbox Defender now so I don't even notice either issue at all.
This sucks that I'm having this luck but thanks for the feed back.

Some of these small creeks or wiggles are somethings that might just need to be accepted. We are too often perfectionists. Not realists.

I agree that we can sometimes expect too much.
The One X is unique in it's design in that the "internal frame" that holds the display, screen, motherboard, battery, etc. actually "snaps" into the outer polycarbonate shell, not with screws like almost all other smartphones.
The "creak" that was coming from my first HOX was an undeniable defect, it was so loud the BB employees could hear it over all the crowd noise and it would do that just by handling it normally, not to mention the screen had way too much "give". The "creak" in my second HOX is probably just a "normal" side-effect of the design, as it is very faint and only happens when I try, and I have totally accepted that (as I have already mentioned I see it as a non-issue).
But to be honest, I don't think the consumer should just "accept" flaws and poor build quality, things should not "creak" or "wiggle" (that were never meant to) within a few days of use. Some people can deal with it but we should not have to, so if someone is unhappy with their product then they have every right to exchange it or return it.
I'm on my second, first one swapped for connection issues (had to toggle airplane mode for it to work any time I lost service or was in an area with poor reception)... Only to find out that my second does the exact same thing.. considering swapping again because 1.85 screwed it up even more.

I agree that often perfectionist and it's my downfall. I'm ok with the very small light leak I have on this one . But just touching my screen near top and hearing it "pop" just shouldn't happen and afraid it will get worse as time goes on. And seeing as I bought this phone out right I don't feel as if I'm being to unreasonable. I mean I must of traded in 20-35 iPhones in my time for even smaller defects. Going back to the iPhone 3g.

Uuuummmm..... My HTC does not have any of the problems that people have mentioned in the thread. No bleeding light, creeking noises or pixel issues. Not one single issue. I have even dropped it about 5 times and it skidded about 10 feet each time. Still good as new. Actually the builded quality for me compared to the Sony phone is night and day. Sorry to hear about everyone bad luck. So far its been the best phone that I have owned.
