check your bottom corners - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

On the bottom left of my phone I can push down and there's some give along with a click sound. Anybody else? My inspire did this too and I exchanged it.

my two day old one x does this only in the lower right. I think this is mostly due to the design and will happen sooner or later, it did not the first day.

Or just ignore it and enjoy your phone. Does it do it during normal use, or just after you pressed hard on the corners because the OP told you to?
If it moves and makes a noise every time you TOUCH your screen during normal use, I would say it's an issue. If you have to force it by pressing hard, I wouldn't worry about it. Basically did you notice it before the OP brought it up?

It's really not a big deal or even noticeable unless you actually look for an issue...plus the case covers it up...and if you are concerned about something like this, you ought to be using a case anyways, ha.

I'm the op . It was really bad on my inspire. Touching the menu button made the phone click. If they all do it I'm not going to worry about it

If its annoying you then replace it, you just run the gamble of having some other issue that people are having. I personally think because of how hard I usually am to my phones and because I don't use a case this thing is going to be creaking and making all kinds of sounds in no time so I just wont care about it now.
Its like your first brand new car HAS to be perfect and you take it back for every rattle or squeak, by the 4th or 5th you think of it more as a tool that serves a function in your life and the squeaks and rattles don't take priority.

A brand new, freshly delivered, white hox and an equally new gray hox. Neither one has banding,.light bleed or squeaky corners. My squeaky inspire was horrible. And yesterday the volume rocker decided to fall off of the inspire as well.

Lol I noticed this earlier and didn't think much of it. Definitely creaking. Not sure if worth an exchange tho.

Welcome to XDA, where we probe our phones until we find a issue. Lol. Mine doesn't do it unless I go hulk on the corner, which I will never do under normal use. So it's fine to me.

No problems here
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Can't speak for the OP, but I think some people are intentionally looking for problems with the phone. i.e. doing things that wouldn't occur during normal operation, such as pushing down on the screen edges.
So far my phone hasn't had a single issue.

i dont push down hard on the buttons so i dont know

Mine has some give but no sound. Nothing i would've noticed if the op had never brought it up

I looked for it on this phone because, like dust under the screen, it seems to follow HTC around from device to device.
I'm not one to freak out over little stuff like this, but I just wanted to get the info out there in case it wasn't an isolated incident/defect on MY device.

I'm having the same issue on the bottom left corner. It started to randomly make a clicking noise and then I found this topic. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one but I would rather have a perfect phone!!
I've also noticed the small gap in the lower left allows a little bit of light out so out looks like the seal isn't perfect, hence the clicking too I guess.
I would return it to HTC but after reading other people's posts, it's likely that I could just get another bad one.
Sigh. £400 and it still has issues.

The bottom left of my HTC One X has a little give but I dont think its anything major that should be taken very seriously

(Q) Screen touch test

Hi can someone here test if you see a red violet spot on screen when pressing a little harder in the bottom corner of the screen right above the search button. It only does it in that corner for me and not anywhere else. So I'm just wondering if this is normal.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No noticeable color distortion when pressing the screen near the search button here.
Hope this helps!
Thank you. That really sucks for me. This is the 5th device I am going to return and this will be the last one...so many issues I can't believe it. BTW even if I press with my thumb right on the search button and press a little it show the color change mostly visible on white screen. Can you please try on the Google page or somthing with white background and press a little harder and hold it for 3 sec.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The only way I could get the distorted color to appear was using a significant amount of pressure.
Mine does it too in that corner. Little **** like that bothers the hell out of me

Mine doesn't do it until I press really hard... oh shi%$ I just pushed my finger all the way through the phone! Kidding....
But seriously, sounds like you need to take it back and swap for a new phone. It shouldn't be doing that.
Honestly, I can't imagine ever using that much pressure...I had to squeeze pretty hard. Are you guys seeing it under normal use?
@mj2508 Same here.. stuff like that bothers me that's why I want to know if it is every device that does this. If it is well maybe I can live with it, but if not its going right back to the store and I will never touch HTC again. I really like the phone otherwise but got way too many little issues with the build quality.

I know it's not what people want to hear, but you have to realize that the HTC Inspire 4G is the cheapest Android Smartphone EVER released, and the direction things are going are to make devices cheaper, and decrease build quality. This is the first of many new devices that'll come out like this.
Coming from iPhone, I noticed the volume and power rockers just aren't as firm, and the overall quality (ie the battery cover and the sim\msd cover) are just cheaply made. It was the same thing Blackberry did in 2009 when they went to a more plastic-based model line.
On the flipside, you can buy 2 for the same price as an iPhone, so you're really getting a good value.
Bottom line: You get what you pay for, and everyone was so shocked the no-commit price on the Inspire 4G was $399, now you know why.
But it's a great device!

You know who will be shocked, the sales man in the store when I return this thing for the 5th and last time. I mean I also like the phone but cheap quality just doesn't do it for me. They probably made the unibody metal so it will hide the cheap of this phone.

How hard did you have to press?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
About the same as mine which is way more than one needs to be pressed.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
On mine is very easy to do. No need to mash your thumb or anything. It's just like the pressure you would use to press the power button on top.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Tried again on google homepage, pressed normally and nothing. Pressed harder and nothing. Pressed really hard and I saw the ruby red blob. I'll never press that hard in normal use, ever.
No distortion here either. I mean, I pressed as hard as I would feel comfortable pressing on a lcd.
I can't imagine what problems the op had that necessitated going through four of these phones to get solved.
Try a Captivate sometime. STILL priced ~50-100 dollars MORE than an inspire, yet there are many, many people who are on their second or third captivate. I cut my losses on that one at #2.
Now THAT'S a ****ed up phone model.
Just because the the inspire is priced cheap doesn't mean its built cheap, or that because some people have problems, that its indicative of a cheap phone.

[Q] How many Evo Shifts have you gone through?

I am on my third device after two TEP warranty replacements in about a year. Both times I had to have it replaced, the device simply turned off and refused to ever turn back on again. The phone techs at the Sprint store couldn't fix or explain it, so naturally under TEP I was issued free replacements. I suspect something on the mainboard decided to give out, although nothing visibly was awry according to the techs.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or any similar stories?
I still have the one i picked up last year
This shift is a beast
That's an odd one dunno never had any issue with mine except user stupidity(flashing while drinking)

Okay, Is this just a somewhat defective phone or is the att version like this. I dont have to put much pressure on the screen and it ripples. On the international one I can put a good amount of pressure before it will make ripples
i mean it doesnt take much and its like putting a lotta pressure on the screen.

Kinda pissing me off, but I guess good things happen to those that wait. It better apply to this :banghead:

Buzzing-Rattling Sounds in case.

Brand new One X from AT&T store on Friday. I've noticed when setting the phone down, or tapping the phone, there is a buzzing/rattling sound up around the camera/top portion of the phone.
WTF?
Phone hasn't been dropped. hardly used and in a soft case the entire time.
Guess I can take it back..of course it is rooted/unlocked...but whatever. I know the sales rep since we do business with them and probably would swap it no questions.
Does the white case come off the phone somehow to access batter? Thought maybe I could open it up and check it out real quick and see if it is something stupid..but don't want to screw my phone up either.
Thx.

What to do?

Hey XDA, I recently bought a One X about 5 days ago.
Since then I've replaced the phone 3 times, first and second replacements were for dead pixels, third was for a faulty Wi-Fi signal, now my fourth one which I'm currently using has light leaking through the sides and one of the capacitative buttons is not bright at all.
I'm getting really tired at this point and I really want to just find a good One X without problems. Any chance the grey ones have less issues? I doubt it but it's worth a shot at asking.

Still On My First
hmmm, I have read a lot about people getting damaged and faulty One Xs. I find that very interesting and wonder if it just bad luck, but with how many people have these problems, I wonder if HTC made a few bad batches and just didn't tell anyone about them. I am on my first One X, hopefully the only) and have been loving it ever since the day I got it. I haven't noticed any problems. Another interesting thing I have noticed is that people seem to say that their grey ones are just fine. I've got myself a grey one too and have had no issue either. Maybe it is only the white ones that had this problem. Hope you get a good one soon, or I even hope you decide to stay with the One X. Maybe you can try getting it from somewhere else that may noot have gotten a bad batch.
I would keep getting replacements until I got one that was perfect, or at least close enough. Something like a yellow tint in the display isn't a big deal, but dead pixels or broken wifi is.

Thing about the wifi is, the wifi is a defect on almost all units. It was a mistake that HTC themselves actually acknowledged. It has something to do with the connectors being too far apart. My One X seems to disconnect frequently but it will only be for a few seconds, so I don't worry too much about it. Apparently the newest made devices have fixed this issue but I expect that it will be a little while before all of the old ones are sold. I hope this helps :highfive:
