I am having problems with an HTC one S flickering like a maniac.
I had a look through but could not find a solution on here.
Has anyone worked out a walk-around to this issue yet?

One question, have you ever dropped your phone? If no... I would take it back and show them. It could be the sensor that is goofed.

My phone flickers about 6 times a day it's annoying

I don't think there is any damage to the phone although I cannot be certain
I actually have 10 of these. It only happens on a couple. It seems to be a software related issue not hardware. The only sure fire way of stopping it is to go into airplane mode? Which of course renders the phone useless.
If you google HTC one s screen issue you will see there are many people having the same problem.

I have not. I will try that today.
What exactly is a hard reset? Will it wipe the phone?

Flickering is the right word.
Exactly, thanks!
I have the screen flicker as well. Clearly this phone is in need of some major updating...

Like I said in another thread some time ago. Windows, games,... everything has bugs at start, but with time most of them get solved

It shouldn't be any hardware bugs at the start when buying a expensive phone like this.
I have this on my phone too, just took it out of the box...dang this post, I was looking for it from the start.
Are people waiting on this in hopes it's a software/refresh glitch, or exchanging their phone?
I don't have a T-mobile store here in town, just a stand at the mall How do I convince them to stare at the screen long enough to notice it?

It could be a software bug too.
When people get their display replaced the problem is solved.

I think this is what im experiancing as well. If thats the case then I would assume its a software bug. Testing with auto off right now.

It is hardware bug.
The eye see it more clearly when the screen have less light.
Every once in awhile I'll notice my Sensey's soft keys are lit up and I can't do anything on the phone. pressing the lock/wake button does nothing and I need to do a battery pull to get into my phone again. Holding the lock/wake key doesn't even reboot at all.
Is this a firmware or kernel problem? Any fixes?
(I realize that I worded that terribly, my apologies.)

It could be a software issue, I say this because this has happened to me on different roms, then when I flashed a different Rom the issue was solved. I'm not sure other than flashing a different Rom, how to remedy the situation. In my case this is how I fixed it when that happened to me. You might want to post this on the Rom developers site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. Perhaps they might have a fix if it's a known problem. I wish you the best ! Hopefully you can remedy this situation easily. I'm fairly certain flashing a different Rom will cure the issue. At least it did in my situation. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Um...I'm sure you're new to this.
The bug aren't fully fixed yet. Reboots and hangs are obviously expected.
Nothing wrong with Kernel cuz there's no jellybean kernel for us YET.
So the ROMs are still buggy.
I suggest you wait a week or 2 for all bug fixes.
Meanwhile, try a Sense ROM or an ICS aosp based ROM. :sly:

Alright, fair enough.
I wouldn't consider myself new to this at all. I've had my sensation since September last year and I've done my fair share of flashing and helping others out. I just thought I'd ask because I didn't see it discussed anywhere and thought I was the only one having this particular issue. I searched the ROM thread and found nothing and I searched this Q&A forum and didn't find anything so I thought I'd ask. Is that so wrong?

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off system sounds in the settings option. Just turn all the sounds off and you should bee good to go

Cm10 is a beta work in progress. This is a known bug, not something you are doing wrong.
Be patient as the rom continues to develop.

Thank you, I will try this.
I've looked around here and haven't seen an issue similar to what's going on with mine.
It's happened a few times now, where the phone just randomly starts to vibrate, for ~5 seconds. No notifications, not even touching the phone. It just randomly vibrates. My last One X I swapped out on Friday due to some sound issues, that one never did this strange vibrate. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time it's done this in just as many days.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Thanks.

Ok, thanks. I still find it weird that my first one didn't do that in the two weeks or so that I had it. Maybe I'll try exchanging it a second time and get lucky with a 1.85
It happens so randomly and rarely that you probably got lucky.

Mine has done it twice now as well. Recently upgraded to 2.20, so Im gonna go with gunny on this one.:thumbup:
Edit LMAO!! No joke as a matter of fact, mine did it again as soon as I hit submit on this post. Scared the crap out of me. Almost dropped the durn phone

Yeah mine has done it several times too haha, usually when I press the back button. I thought it could be an issue with my phone because it has a really weak vibrate when I press the buttons, but since I didn't notice it on
4.0.3 I'll go with 4.0.4 glitch..
Sent from my HTC One X
If your under 30 days, on 2.20 locked i would make them exchange for older firmware device or your going to return it and go elsewhere to get one with the less buggy 1.85 firmware. If u want to unlock, why wouldnt you.
Mine literally hadn't done it until I opened this thread..irony..

Hate to say it but most likely a hardware issue.
You can RUU to confirm. If it's still occuring after RUU, it's definately the Digitizer failing. Thought I am already fairly certain that it is the digitizer failing.

HIGHLY doubtfull.
Like I said, run an RUU for your carrier, if it works after then good. If not, it's hardware 100% sure.
An RUU will return ALL software to stock including any and all firmwares.
Go to the phone dialer then enter *#*#3424#*#* then MORE and line test with no time. Try to draw on the screen... If you do not get anything on that part the digi is damaged... This just happened to me. I'm not sure if I should order another screen because I already replaced my screen 2 months ago. I'm thinking to get a new phone. Hope this help!

Did you RUU back already? Mine was like that too... Working in the morning and it stopped in the afternoon. I had the phone in my pocket the whole day while I was doing the lawn... Maybe too much heat broke it. Try RUU back to check if that works. If not you can find the screen set (lcd and digitalizer) for 55$+
This is mine... What I do I have screen rotation enable and when I cannot tap on something I rotate the screen.
