Weak LED? - HTC One S

Hi guys,
My led is really weak, I can hardly see it. Thus i dont notice any notifications nor if my phone is plugged or not. Im wondering if this is a general problem or if just my device is kind of broken? My friend's one x has a really bright led...
What about you?

Mine is very bright too. Maybe you could take a picture of it?

Well, mine is very weak too... Infact I never rely on it. But I think this is normal.
By the way, a few days ago there was a topic related to this subject.

My is very strong and flashes really brightly

The one s led is a freaking joke. It's the size of a pin head and recessed into the speaker grill. Almost as bad as not having one at all. HTC nees to learn from the gnex, gs3, and motorola phones. Better yet, blackberry: the king of led notifications.

Intense Vibration?

Just got my device all set up and did a quality control check. No warped body, no yellow spots, no flickering, pretty much perfect. Except the vibration. When I get a text the vibration is super strong. Like the device rattles and makes noise. Anybody else seeing this? I know it's something that could be fixed with root. But obviously that's not an option yet.
Mine makes a small "woosh" whirring noise when it vibrates, too.
The vibration on my phone is pretty timid compared to my aria.

coming from gnex this thing is nuts. I like it overall except when im typing. Way to strong.
I'm sure the ladies will enjoy this phone
...that's why she keeps taking it

I think it's just HTC's style. I remember my HTC Tilt vibrated like an earthquake also, lol. Maybe it was designed by women...?
I'd rather have too strong of vibration than too weak like the captivate.

Camera Rattle?

I've come to notice a rattle in my camera. Just from normal movement it is audible. It's almost good enough to thrill a baby I reckon. Is this normal, who else has the baby entertainment feature?

Yeah, I think it's built like that.

Hahaha, great wording - truly LOL'd.
You know, I think it may be coming from the SIM card tray. Try gently shaking it so you hear the rattle, then put a finger on the card tray and hold it down tight. I didn't seem to hear the rattle anymore at that point....
I believe that's the camera shutter

I posted this in another thread on this question; it's just the autofocus module. It has to be slightly loose to function properly. If you hold the camera up to your ear and focus on something with the camera, you'll hear it as well. It's like that in every modern phone/tablet.

[Q] How many hox have you gone through?

So I am just wondering if I'm just have a run of bad luck. Bought my one x the release day. Few days later started seeing dead pixels all over the screen. Took it to att and they swap it out no problem.
Second one seem fine the first day but then I notice tons of light leakage like the screen wasnt in all the way around the bottom and right side. The screen would also wiggle and make a popping sound if I pressed on it on the bottem left corner, right corner, and top right corner. The plastic on the bottom would also move if I pressed it.
I happen to luck out and found an att close by that had one in (damn you apple). Now this one the screen is clicking even worse than the second one. If I wipe the screen off I can hear it clicking and popping with even the lightest pressure. Also have light leakage across the bottom again and what looks like single dots almost like a dead pixel even though there is no pixel by the buttons where light is shining through the black. I expect to have att replace this one also.
So I was just wondering am I have terrible luck or should I expect this from all hox? I love the device but really wont keep it if I keep getting shotty devices.
That's some pretty bad luck... Still on my first. No problems except for the tiniest bit of bleed on one side, and I cannot over emphasize tiny. Hope it stays that way too.
Still on first as well

You must have been on a streak of bad luck for your HOX...
I am currently on my second. The first one had a defect in the upper-right side (near the volume rocker and front-facing camera) where it would very loudly "creak" whenever I picked it up and/or was using it. And the screen/display in that area was "mushy" as I was able to be push the internal casing into the polycarbonate shell a few millimeters without hardly any force at all.
I bought it at Best Buy and when I brought it in I just asked IF it would be considered a defect and they suggested replacing it without me even asking. The second one I got is very solid in comparison to the issues from the first one but the volume rocker does "wiggle" a bit and the bottom (near the microphone) "creaks" but only if I apply direct pressure on it. I understand the nature of how the internal "frame" is placed into the "shell" so I don't think those are issues at all so I am very pleased with the build quality. Also, I keep it in a Otterbox Defender now so I don't even notice either issue at all.
This sucks that I'm having this luck but thanks for the feed back.

Some of these small creeks or wiggles are somethings that might just need to be accepted. We are too often perfectionists. Not realists.

I agree that we can sometimes expect too much.
The One X is unique in it's design in that the "internal frame" that holds the display, screen, motherboard, battery, etc. actually "snaps" into the outer polycarbonate shell, not with screws like almost all other smartphones.
The "creak" that was coming from my first HOX was an undeniable defect, it was so loud the BB employees could hear it over all the crowd noise and it would do that just by handling it normally, not to mention the screen had way too much "give". The "creak" in my second HOX is probably just a "normal" side-effect of the design, as it is very faint and only happens when I try, and I have totally accepted that (as I have already mentioned I see it as a non-issue).
But to be honest, I don't think the consumer should just "accept" flaws and poor build quality, things should not "creak" or "wiggle" (that were never meant to) within a few days of use. Some people can deal with it but we should not have to, so if someone is unhappy with their product then they have every right to exchange it or return it.
I'm on my second, first one swapped for connection issues (had to toggle airplane mode for it to work any time I lost service or was in an area with poor reception)... Only to find out that my second does the exact same thing.. considering swapping again because 1.85 screwed it up even more.

I agree that often perfectionist and it's my downfall. I'm ok with the very small light leak I have on this one . But just touching my screen near top and hearing it "pop" just shouldn't happen and afraid it will get worse as time goes on. And seeing as I bought this phone out right I don't feel as if I'm being to unreasonable. I mean I must of traded in 20-35 iPhones in my time for even smaller defects. Going back to the iPhone 3g.

Uuuummmm..... My HTC does not have any of the problems that people have mentioned in the thread. No bleeding light, creeking noises or pixel issues. Not one single issue. I have even dropped it about 5 times and it skidded about 10 feet each time. Still good as new. Actually the builded quality for me compared to the Sony phone is night and day. Sorry to hear about everyone bad luck. So far its been the best phone that I have owned.

I will comment that the camera lens is of a stupid design. That lens got scratched in about 5 minutes of ownership. Just lucky that the scratch is not showing up in photos.

Strange Screen Issue

Hello,
Got a Samung Galaxy Note GT-N8010 tablet. Having some very odd screen issue's I am at a loss with. So far replaced digitiser,lcd cable and the lcd screen in an attempt to sort this problem. Have tried updating tablet and have reset it but still no luck. Only thing i can think of now is that the board inside has become faulty.
Pics:
Did u try the developer option? or accessibility section? try to reset your tablet, it would help
Tried both. Reset and even update to latest firmware. Looked in developer options and i can cycle negative modes, but both look like the above images.
It looks like the glass isn't sticking properly and makes too much pressure on this particular part of LCD. (I wouldn't fall to faulty board concept because of circular shape of the defect, that would be rather... not probable IMHO )

Moto X Pure is the best sunlight readable bootloader-unlocked phone

With 815 nits and low glare screen, the Moto X Pure is by far the most easily readable 5.5" or larger phone under direct sunlight.... which also has unlocked bootloader and can flash CM/AOSP ROM's.
Just wanted to mention that fact.
And based on history, I don't expect the upcoming Nexus 5.5" to have a brighter screen even though it's AMOLED.
Heck, even the Moto Z is far more dim.
Combined with the bright screen, SD storage, water "resistant" and nice bezel to screen ratio size, the MotoX Pure just can't be replaced for me right now.
And I really, really am itching for a new phone.
Just isn't anything on the market that compares (for my needs) right now.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing out there at the moment seems worth it to upgrade.

Same here, though I wouldn't mind if someone gifts a galaxy note 7
Same here, too - currently rocking an EU X Style.
My only complaint is how weak these screens are, and if you get even one little crack 9t renders the screen useless... My s4 was shattered all over and still functioned perfectly. I've broken this stupid screen twice, second time barely at all and screen didn't work. Luckily the first time I ordered a new screen they seller accidentally sent me 2
I agree. I bought this to use with Republic Wireless to try out their new GSM service. My old Moto X 1st Gen still works great, but I was itching for a new toy, and I'm not rich, so the Amazon Prime Day special was perfect for me. When I got it, I immediately started missing the AMOLED screens I'm used to with the Moto X 1st Gen and 2 Galaxy S4's that I have. The resolution is gorgeous, but I miss the deep blacks and popped colors. BUT....today I was using it outside, and it was by far the best phone I've used outside! And I love the GravityBox feature to slide the brightness up swiping the status bar.
True... But the cost of that brightness and outdoor visibility is it drains your battery like fruit in a juicer. High screen brightness where the display is maxed out is beautiful on this device, but if you can get 90 minutes of usage on a full charge your darn lucky.

I like the look of the Note 7 too but less keen on the cost. Nothing really makes me want to swap my X Style. Bright screen, good speakers, good mobile reception, battery lasts me most days but can always top up with turbo charger. Might even get Android N? Mine is still stock.

At least I have the choice to set the screen that bright, even if it can only last 90 minutes.

Oh, and louder than average speakers so I can listen to talk radio while walking my dog in loud areas.
Agreed. I have a 6P right now and it's useless under sunlight with polarized sunglasses on.
And the stupid thing doesn't remember bluetooth loudness levels per device like my X did.

There is an app for that.
Wish I could remember what it's called, but I do remember it worked well for me back when I needed it.
Search Play store for Bluetooth and you'll find some neat things.
Uhh. I just downgraded to a Xperia z5 compact, mainly because the headphone jack broke on this, probably because it's so darn big and using the jack in my pocket puts too much pressure on it.
I chose the z5c because it has dual speakers and almost the same chipset:
The speakers are crap compared to the X. The screen in sunlight has these weird glares as if you can see tiny wires over the screen(the digitizer?) And the 810 inside it gets really hot doing the simplest things, like redditing.
So now I use both phones. The X for reading/listening to stuff around the house, and the z5c for when I'm out.
Would u recommend the moto x over 6p. I like Android N on the 6p but the screen is dim as hell. I have a HTC 10. But I want a bigger screen. Thoughts? Thanks
I sometimes think about moving to the HTC 10! I do find the X Style a little clumsy to use one handed. On the other hand I like the bigger display. BTW, how do you find the HTC 10 display outside on a bright day?
As to getting an X Pure/Style over the Nexus then I'm sure you'll find the Moto display easier to use on bright days. Otherwise is the Style better than the Nexus 6p then I don't know for sure. If your bothered about updates then the Nexus will be better. For the money I'm sure you'll not be disappointed with the Style/Pure
mxp price -perfonmace = best ever
ı use iphone lg sony but this awsomm :fingers-crossed:
To bad when my phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket I can barely see who is calling and barely can see the red n green phone icon while in bright day light.
No custom rom.

It will depend on you really. If getting the latest and greatest Android version and security updates is a big deal, then the 6p. If you are outside our using your phone in really bright areas a lot then the MXPE is the better for that. Everything else after these considerations will really depend on what little features that each offers that you think will benefit you the most.
I'm looking to finally upgrade from my AT&T Note 3. I want SD card support, 5.7+ screen, and an unlocked bootloader. Moto X Pure seems to be the perfect phone for me.... unless someone can recommend a better phone.
