So...Yellow screen has left!

Today I noticed that my warm or yellow screen has gotten whiter..not bluer but just whiter! Freakin awesome. Plus I got my ballistics case and it fits perfect.

My One X is one of the few (two) I've seen that wasn't yellowish, but has a small amount of backlight bleed at the bottom right. I wasn't sure about exchanging it in fear of getting a one with a yellowish screen but you're the second person I've read saying this so maybe there is just some run in time. Considering almost every display I've seen has been warm, I'm guessing most in this forum have one like this. Is the the op's experience that of others as well?

Nice. Can't wait to get my case, just got my shipping notice

I've heard the yellowish screen (in general, not just One X) is from the adhesive they use to hold the screen and the glass together, and it just needs time before the yellow tint goes away.

Im noticing the same thing. Screen is looking better and better. Im keeping it full brightness for a while to speed things up since its a bit hotter

When you guys talk about the yellow screen, was the whole screen yellow or just some spots? On mine the bottom right corner its like this spot about the size of a 1 inch semi circle it seems to have a yellower tint then the rest of the screen. It's noticeable on white app screens.
I'm not sure if I should return the phone. Just got it today. Or wait it out and hope I have your guys' luck.
Thanks.

just giving this a quick little bump. It dropped to page two already.

That's exactly where mine is yellowish also. I guess I'll hold out a while. I have 30 days. One quick question. When you say it looks better, does that spot still look a little different from the rest of the display or has it cleared up to where you don't notice it at all?

The white screens didn't come with enough glue, hence screen bleed, now the yellow screens have cured and look fine. GAH

EDIT: Some screens out there really do have issues though, so everyone's experience will be different.

There was definitely something wrong with mine. I decided to go into AT&T today just to take a look at the One X's there and compare mine and out of the three on display there, and the two I saw yesterday at a different store where I bought mine, none had any yellow "spots". Now just so you know, my screen didn't have a "warm" display with a yellowish tint. Most of the display was bright white except for a small spot on the bottom right. It reminded me of the pictures of the iPhones that had the adhesive problem where there were noticeable "spots". I talked to the rep and was gonna wait to see if it would dry and go away since I only just bought the phone yesterday, but he said he would go to the back and get another white one and open it up to see if it was any better. The screen on that was perfect. A noticeable difference from the one with the "yellow spot". So, long story short, he swapped out my phone.
P.S. I understand what you are saying. The "warmer" looking screens are starting to get "cooler", but I honestly think my original one wasn't in that category per se. It was nice of the rep to let me swap it out. Depends on who you get I guess.

Bottom separates from the screen? Pics Included.

Hi, Guys I have had this phone for a few days and I am loving it so far.
Today I noticed something very weird and I am a little concerned.
I was taking off my original HTC case and I saw that the bottom of the phone and the screen there was a big gap. I was shocked at first because I had never seen it before and I saw big led's on the bottom.
It Looks normal now but I can literally recreate it back if I push the bottom and the screen will separate from one another creating a big gap where I can actually see the led's. I mean once I push it back I have to recreate it for it to happen but other than that it looks normal and there is no light leakage once the push the bottom back on.
Here are the two pictures.
One where the bottom comes off if I push it a little and it could easily happen when I take off the case showing the gree led,
and the second one where I pushed the bottom back up and it looks normal.
https://www.box.com/s/05c56f37bdab763006a7

Yeah.. it probably shouldn't do that Might as well see about getting it replaced before your warranty is up.

Yea I sent amazon an email already, it is cool otherwise, If I don't push too hard or take the case off too hard it wont happen but it literally separates if I push little too hard. Otherwise normal usage it is fine and like now there is no light leakage or anything no one would be able to tell that happens unless they put pressure on the bottom edge.

Yep just took mine back for that same issue. I could pop the bottom of the LCD out from the housing and snap it back in. They exchanged it. Oddly enough my replacement I can still see a very slight gap but the screen doesn't move like it did on my other one. I'm worried about moisture getting in there. Might have to return this one as well
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Yea I am.just glad that it only happens when pushed. I already sent amazon an email and they are pretty good about advance replacement. I mean I would have never noticed it if I didn't push the case too hard to take it off from the bottom. Like now it is perfect lol.

i do believe this is how the access the innards of the phone. To reach the battery etc the screen pops off. It appears that yours was not properly fitted.

My AT&T One X started separating on the bottom left corner this weekend. I am going to call my local corp. store this morning and see if they have any in stock so I can go get a replacement.
..Gromet

Both my wife's and my phone do this as well. Noticed it a week ago, when taking off case.

It would be nice to know if this a defect or just the way most phones are. I mean it's perfect unless you push down hard to take off the case from the bottom.

When I had a Vivid, it did the same thing near the volume rocker. The border of the phone began separating from the screen. I just pushed in on it and it snapped back into place, but it's still a bit concerning.
I pop the case off of my One X every week to clean out debris, and I haven't noticed it separating yet. (official HTC case)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661644
I posted this last weekend about my phone doing the exact same thing, though I still havent gotten around to posting pictures. I am just going to refer to yours since they show the same thing. My is doing this on the sides rather than the top or bottom, but it is slowly spreading.
Annoyed because AT&T still doesnt have stock...
I was reading some of the international One X forums - it sounds like about 1 out of 4 have similar build issues on the intl' version. I was hoping they would have their ish together before the US release...

I ordered mine from amazon and they have already shipped me a replacement. I will update on how it goes. Hopefully not the same issue.

Lucky! I called around and no stores in the area have them in stock.

Hmm...
The gap might be there due to constant handling/movement or swapping covers/cases. I mean, look at this youtube video regarding how the HTC One X can be taken apart for repairs. Notice how the phone is worked from that bottom edge, exposing the screen, before it snaps open. I don't currently have a HOX or else I'd test it first hand, but could this be a cause of the gap? or maybe it just a factory defect in some instances?

It could be. If my second one does that than I think it might be that way to open it up. Mine is fine right and looks new. But can snap it open with ease. If someone had given it to me like this I probably would not have known.

In that video it looks like the part she separates is the metal frame/bezel+screen from the polycarb shell. Our issue is the screen itself is coming unglued from the metal frame/bezel. It appears to be a quality control issue in a small percentage of them.

That video is very similar to how mine would come off. I would have to push really hard to open up like that but small bump does make it obvious how u would take it apart.

I had a gap in the bottom right corner where i could see some shiny material . The screen at that end was also slightly raised.
Asked amazon about it and they sent me a new one.
This one too is not perfect as there is still a slight gap between the body and the screen, again at the bottom right. But i guess i am going to keep this one.
waiting for my case.
OFFTOPIC : Why hasnt OP changed his launcher as yet! I feel the sense launcher looks less refined and spoils the beauty of the One X screen

Got the replacement phone, it doesn't do that. But damn this phone is all pink instead of white on the screen. I can clearly see the whites are not white on this phone. I am thinking about just keeping the original phone since it is always like new unless i force the housing to open. It never just happens, I have to make it happen, but other than that phone is like new and the screen is way more beautiful than the replacement phone. I think the one I got is using a different screen than the original.

screen loose ?

hi everyone, i have a quick question.
i noticed yesterday that my screen was starting to come loose on the top corner of my phone, i could push it back in and within 10 min it was back out. (this also happened on my htc inspire)
i returned the phone to at&t and my new one is more solid but i do notice that it does push in the bezel a tiny bit also on all corners and sides.
do i have another bad phone? is anyone else seeing this with there phone?
thx for the help

it flexes a bit with light pressure, but if the problem is severe or impedes the use of the phone, then return/exchange it.

my first phone was fine at first but then the right corner popped out about a 16th of an inch from the back case and the other side was fine. the phone was still fine to use though.
i am wondering if the tiny bit of flex around the edge is normal or if mine will eventually work loose again.

Mine is a bit creaky around the top and bottom but I dont think it is worth taking back for

I exchanged my first HOX because of this. It started in one corner and then quickly spread to three.

New one is rock solid. That rev2 is most likely just the packaging. The different hardware versions are HT23, HT24, etc... Mine is an HT24.

the screen is coming off the black metal bezel, don't you remove the bezel and screen as one piece when removing the back casing?
i guess if it does happen again i can just peel off the screen and glue it back down to the metal casing.

White One X Wearing Off?

Hey,
For all of you that own a white HOX, have you experienced the matte white finish on the back of the device gradually wearing away near the bottom corners (or wherever you most often hold it from) and losing its characteristic grippy matte-ness, becoming slightly shiny and smooth?
I'm concerned about the long term consequences of using the HOX without a case (although i use a case) as the bottom right area of my phone has lost some of its matte texture, become smooth white.

I don't have a problem with the white finish on mine. The only problem I have is the SN, IMEI, and SKU sticker coming off from sliding it in and out of my pocket.

How long have you had it? I've had mine for 2-3 months and so far it's okay. There might be a little shininess going on, but it's hard to tell.

I don't have that problem. I mean, I have the glamour grey one, but I digress...
Does anyone have a problem with the screen flaking? I guess it's the anti glare coating on the beveled edge for me is flaking off. I can't understand it because it's been in a case the entire time i've had it. Of course I can't call up warranty since i've rooted and unlocked my bootloader. This sort of software modding thing though shouldn't void a defect warranty.

I've had mine since around the beginning of April. As of right now, the wearing away has been pretty minor, and is distinctly noticeable in direct light, and appears around the bottom edge, near the corners, as that is where I most commonly hold my phone from.
I actually have a case on right now, but noticing this slight wear-away concerned me (which further convinced me to keep a case on), but wasn't sure whether or not it would keep wearing away.
I would describe it as... a smoothing out of the matte finish, kind of the way it looks if it gets a little oily. The affected areas are more reflective and 'shiny' , but not truly smooth like the finish on the GS3
Again, it's not major, but just something I was wondering about.

This is common in plastic items if you look at a well used mouse or keyboard over time the most struck areas will smooth out lucky the hox is mad of inject molded plastic so the white one is solid white so it wont "rub" off it will just show polish like brass over time.

My grey one did that after about 2 months. Two spots about the size of a dime on the back, where it would touch when set down. They polished to a shiny slippery finish. Haven't used a case at all.

Yeah, mines getting shiny on the corners, and my screen has some barely perceptible scratches on it. I'm not too worried at the moment though, I'm going to warranty swap due to a bright spot on my screen.

You shouldn't need to keep that on your phone anyway. You should have received at least one or two extra stickers in the packaging that came with the phone, which are there to be used for warranty purposes etc...

Is your HOXL creaky?

It seems to me that the longer I have this phone the creakier it gets when I press or squeeze it in any way, and I was wondering what other peoples experiences were. I've only had this phone since October, and I'm curious to know if people who have had theirs since launch day are experiencing it even more so than I am

Yes mine is creaky. If I squeeze it or move it creaks. Even typing with the veedback on causes the creaking sound. I bought this phone when it first came out so I was just guessing it was getting old. However my wife's does not and she got hers the same day.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I assume the creaks come from the screen and guts slipping in and out of the shell body?
Perhaps removing the body and using a very very small amount of glue to hold it in place would help?
You dont have the phone inside a case that is itself creaking against the body of the phone?

My first one started creaking after about 5 months. Then, over the course of two days, the backlight failed. At first, pressure would turn it off and/or on. I was luckily able to do an RUU without the backlight, then return it under warranty.
The refurb I have now was a little creaky from day 1, but has actually gotten better than at first. Also has a terrible loudspeaker... but the replacement speaker I got on eBay was even worse.
I wish I could get an Android phone with Apple build quality and warranty/support.

No creaks on mine, I think it's because I clean it aggressively at times and apply enough pressure to keep it seated together.
