Strange pixels blinking. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I just get my HTC One X. Wonderful phone, but I have very uncomfortable issue with display. On majority of screens in menu or applications, especially on dark backgrounds, it shows dozens or even hundreds of white or red pixels staying or moving as you swipe. Please help, what I should do? Got some screenshots.

Just realized that you probably won't see any bad pixels on my screenshots. Sorry.

Take it back asap

Take it back, you should have no trouble exchanging it for a new one. Mine had one single dead pixel and they swapped mine for a new one. My new one even has the whiter display as opposed to the other one which had the yellowish tint.

looks like bad ram the gpu is using. Exchange it.

Thank you so much for your reply. But what if I bought it through RadioshackWireless, can I go to At&t store with that phone to exchange it there? Thank you.

I agree...I would exchange it...either a ram issue or the display is bad..HTC uses a few different companies to make their screens so it could just be bad...if bought at best buy at att, you should have no issue exchanging it..if amazon, you can still return but have to wait on shipping...

you will have to go to Radio Shack and have them exchange it, AT&T will tell you to take it back to them. If you got the the phone from Radio Shack Online then check your packing slip and make sure it doesn't have any specific instructions saying that you can only return it to them by mail. Hope this helps

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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

Strange, Im thinking you might of got the order mixed up? HT25 is made on may while the HT24 is made on april. Also for the International One X the HT24 models were the ones plauged with production defects although i am not sure of the HTC One XL.
I find it odd that I've actually got HT26

ht25 is a newer batch than ht24 but defects and what not are completely random. I have ht24 and have a perfect defect-free phone while others I know who have ht25 have defects.
First time I've heard of a phone after HT25

I got an ht24 replacement and 2.2 update. No creaks no WiFi issues no problem
Sent from my HTC One X
I take it this is the first four digits of the serial number? Mine is an HT23, bought just a week ago. Currently waiting on the store to get a replacement in as this has many dead pixels.
I got my ht24 on launch day may 6. So I concur that it's probably made earlier than the newer ones.
And good to see someone got ht26. Must mean they sold out of previous stock.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Well, my replacement is an HT24 after the store sold out and received a new shipment.
It's creaky and you can see the soft key backlight through the bottom seam between the glass/bezel. Unfortunately, AT&T said that since I have already exchanged my phone twice for functional defects, they will only exchange it again if the defect actually affects usage. Still, this phone is certainly better than one with dead pixels, so I guess I'll live.
I pre-ordered mine and got one from the first batch it has a rattle in the camera, a creaking housing, and a small block of dead pixels. I still love the thing to death! I'm shocked the carriers will let you keep trading in for ones, but that's good customer service.

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:

[Q] Replacement screen for my AT&T One X

I set my poor phone on a slightly tilted box this morning and it fell about four feet onto a concrete floor and the screen shattered. It's usable but only for a bit before I get really angry with it. I'm thinking about a) switching to the SG3, or b) getting a replacement screen and attempting the fix, or c) both.
But the question is - where do I find a replacement screen that's compatible? Is this screen compatible?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-LCD-DI...355?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d04c74e43
Or is that screen just for the international One X?
I think you need the AT&T version. I think all the others are slightly different sizes. If anything it would be the international One XL, but I don't think it will fit.
There is a plethora of threads about replacing cracked screens, one of them must have a link to one that fits.
Sent from my HTC One X
Everyone I search I find only One X replacement screens, anywhere from $10 to $50. I can't seem to find a One XL screen anywhere, and I haven't found a thread with a link yet. I'll keep looking!

Except it doesn't - I'm not a fan of people who just fire back with "use search" because there's a similar thread. That thread doesn't talk about whether the One X screen will work on a One XL, or whether the eBay link I posted would work.
Can't answer your question about compatibility. But what I can say, is that I would not buy from a eBay vendor that hides all the cost in shipping. $50 for shipping is unreasonable, even from China. Its misleading and dishonest.

I will sell you my screen for shipping. I tried to separate the glass from the LCD. Impossible! Tons of adhesive. So I just ordered the LCD and screen combo from repair universe. Now it works fine other than the lights on the bottom three buttons where very hard to transfer the diode pieces.
(Edit) I ordered a brand new screen before take apart and now it just sits. You can have it!

I replaced my screen with the international one x and it worked the only problem was that digitizer came defective and wouldn't get touch input on the right side of the digitizer so I ended up buying a att version digitizer 18$ BTW my screen doesn't have glue between screen and digitizer so I can replace one or the other without breaking them. The original one was glued. The replacement I got was not.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
after screen replacement have any of you had issues with screen separation?
my screen is cracked in the bottom right corner, and i was considering replacing it before it got worse. but if replacing it is going to cause seperation and light leak then i'll just live with it for now.
what about having HTC repair it?
anybody know what they charge?
Well , fine but no one asked this question : Can you use One X screen + digitizer on One X XL ?
No.

[Q] [Urgent Suggestion Req.] One X White or Black

Hi everyone,
I am getting good deals on both a white and black [not the grayish one] one X, need to decide today which one to buy. I have seen that the white version is more common, also in reviews it kind of stands out as well. I want to ask your opinion on which one is better ie,
-more elegant looks wise, when held in hand etc
-gets dirty more easily, more easy to clean, would proove to be more resistant to scratches [atleast appearance wise] overall
Help me out here!
Go with the black. I have the gray one and it hides everything well whereas the white ones do not. Plus, the white just looks feminine...

I just realized that there isn't one. The guy i am getting the phone from kept on saying black one x, so i just assumed that maybe the international release also came with a black version of one X but turns out it didn't. Hmm well, i am kinda confused again now, in deciding between the the gray and the white. It keeps on crossing my mind that the white looks better, whereas the gray as people are suggesting seems to cover scratches/dirt better.
Lets see, anymore thoughts anyone?

i have the white one x. some people have told me it looks feminine but i can take a joke, to me and a lot of other people its sexy people always say that it picks up a ton of dirt, but if you have enough common sense to keep yourself clean and to keep the phone in relative clean areas it shouldn't be an issue. even if it does pick some up, its very easy to clean.
so all in all, go for the white
Go dark gray, aside from the ring around the cam lense it's a very dark almost black gray. why is this urgent? I just prefer dark to light and I have a black case on mine too and is a great combo.
