I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

Haha indeed.
Lol dude that's funny.
Just buy a new digitizer to replace that broken one. Then fix your wife's phone.
Then do the magical switcharoo. She won't tell the difference, lol.

There's a thread under "General" that shows you how to find out.
A rooted way and an unrooted way.
Search "bad display" in the "General" forum.
Are you rooted or unrooted?
Rooted . Ill look into it

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.
I got the lcd so c2 lol now I know mine is good

Awesome. But wait til you see the difference then you'll REALLY know.
I swear even with a broken digitizer on my wife's phone my phone can't even compare.
My lady would do the same exact thing.

i have the SH version, honestly i cant see anything wrong with my screen. iv compared it to other android phones and it is brighter and more defined, (evo g2, varius others) so idk maybe i need to really compare the two, btw my lady would trade with me
Yea I have the good screen and one of my family members got the phone, and I immediately noticed that they had got the bad screen. I was like...... . Seriously the difference is great

Saturation? Color? Contrast?
30 bucks... can it be any cheaper?
The screen is just seriously washed out in comparison. I don't want to use any terms incorrectly, so im just gonna keep it at that.

I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?
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.

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

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

Yeah I broke the clips that hold the back piece on thru various battery pulls and such. I just gave them a call and asked for a new one and they just sent one over... come to think of it they didn't actually ask for any proof of purchase either time... this might be something that could easily be abused lol

On my original Shift, about a year old now and I don't use a case. Headphone jack is dying and the "f" key has to be pressed a little harder than normal, but everything else is in great shape.

All I know is this phone has some serious quality control issues. It may be because of my ocd but I'm on my 5th one. First one had a big yellow spot on the screen. Second one was getting really hot. Third one got really hot also plus I wanted to try a grey one lol. Fourth one I went back to white. It ran really cool but it had light bleed. This current one has the best looking screen and no light bleed but it runs hot and has the worst battery life out of all of them. I should have just suck with the fourth one. My biggest annoyance is the heat and crappy battery life. How can they not all be consistent in the battery life department? They have the same batteries. 5 hours with 58 mins screen on time is really unacceptable in my eyes when I was getting a day and 5 hours with 3 and a half hours screen on time consistently with the other phones. Something just doesn't want me to be happy and have everything go right. There's always gotta be something wrong. These companies need to learn to make better products.

We are early adopters and this is what we sometimes need to go through. I am completely understanding of that and frankly, I don't care if I have to exchange my phone 10 times (I'm sure Kurt at my local AT&T store does!), as long as I end up with a perfect one then I'm happy. Our other option is to wait 6 months until they get all the kinks worked out and then buy one. I'd much rather have it now and deal with the issues then have to wait until those issues get worked out before I get to play with it.
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.

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:
