I just got my replacement phone today and everything on it is perfect except that it had some light bleed at the bottom under the capacitive buttons. It's hard to check everything at the store before you leave because the sales reps don't want to open a bunch of phones that they now can't sell.
My question is, is there anyone who has light bleed and are just gonna live with it and keep the device? I have no stuck/dead pixels, the device is starting relatively cool, and there is no screen separation or yellow spots.
I have a hard time making these types of decisions because of my ocd, so I'm just looking for some opinions. If you think this is a dumb topic or feel you have to bash me for it please just save yourself the time. If you don't wanna answer the question then don't. Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Mine has a tiny bit of bleed to the right of the capacative buttons, but nothing I can't live with, only noticable in a dark room really.

Mine has a little light bleed as well, but I can live with it just for the fact that everything else on my phone is immaculate.

i only notice it when there is no light, doesnt bother me? doesnt effect the screen quality or anything. its all good.
I have a light bleed to the bottom left of capacitive buttons, its only visible in dark places, it has annoyed me a bit, but i have to live with it ,anyway i have turned off the baclit completely using the script posed in the development section. It doesnt bother me anymore.
Tiny bit bottom left under capacitive buttons, only in dark room. No buggy.

Thanks guys. I can't notice it in daylight either which is pretty cool. I'll have to wait for root on 1.85 to turn them off tho.

Well, it looks like the bleed is actually coming from the capative buttons, which turn off automatically when it's bright enough so you won't notice anything anyway

Hey guys, I just wanna make sure I know what light bleed even looks like! So when I tilt my phone forward and look down towards the capacitive buttons I definitely see light coming from them, but I literally have to tilt the phone to see it. It doesn't bother me at all, do most of you tilt your phone a lot when using it or is 'light bleed' when it creeps onto your screen from a normal viewing angle?

Does anyone get what looks like a row of lights shining up from the bottom of the display above the capacitive buttons?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I don't but at the top when booting there is a line that is definitely brighter than the rest of the HTC boot screen. I'm assuming that's a light bleed but it doesn't bother me.
Mine bleeds a little onto the screen when it's dark. My att guy says its a warranty issue covered for a year.

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately I broke the Gorilla glass screen digitizer on my One X. I had it my back pocket and I sat on chair and I heard a cracking noise. It is a thin hairline crack, but it goes from one side to the other; the LCD is fine though. I am fairly good with fixing things and with a good guide I'll attempt to fix it myself.
The question I have is: should I change just the glass digitizer or should I change the screen too? From what I've seen on Youtube the digitizer is glued pretty good to the LCD and it is difficult to remove. I would attempt to remove just the digitizer but I am afraid not to scratch or damage the LCD in the process. Some people were recommending changing the digitizer and display in one piece. Price wise I am looking at around $20 for the digitizer alone or $80 for digitizer + LCD so I could definitely save on changing just the digitizer.
Has anyone tried change to change any of them and could you please share any feedback I could use ?
Thanks.

There have been a few threads about this. The consensus has been that only HTC can ever get the phone back to a presentable condition after trying to reinstall the glass. And I believe their cost is in the $200-$300 range. I don't think I have seen a single report of a DIY replacement that worked out well. And several "professional" fixes that looked terrible. If you want the glass seated back flush with the phone and the capacitive buttons lined up right I think your only option is HTC, and its not cheap.

OK, so installing just the glass is difficult and might not look or work as good. But what if I change buy the glass and LCD in one piece and install it in one block (costs around $90 for the part)? Any bad reports for this one? Sending to HTC is out of the question, for $300 I might as well get another phone.
Also is there any difference between the international EndeavorU Tegra 3 and Evita S4 variants when it comes to LCD size compatibility? Most of the vendors on eBay don't specify if it is for the international version or Evita so I am assuming it should be the same thing. But, the Evita is 0.5 mm longer than the International version so there is a possibility the displays are different.
There is a difference in sizes among the various One X models. They are not interchangeable. The AT&T version costs the most, naturally (I want to say $150+). If you have an AT&T version, the international One XL (must be LTE version) screen will fit almost perfect, but the capacitive keys don't line up right. Plus with the exception of the AT&T logo its really hard to tell them all apart.
Basically, if the still screen works, keep using it as is. Otherwise getting a new phone is recommended.

I have the version sold in Canada by Telus and Rogers (LTE). Basically it is the AT&T version but with a HTC logo instead of AT&T (and with an unlockable bootloader). I would prefer to get a 100% working screen with a HTC logo, not AT&T. But from you mentioned, my only option would be the LTE International One XL.
What do you mean the capacitive keys don't line up right? Aren't they built inside the whole glass-LCD assembly? If I change the whole thing, do I still need to mess with the capacitive keys ?
Thank you.
I've only seen people replace the whole front glass assembly, which includes the buttons. The lights are in a different place, so the buttons work, but only halfway light up. I'm not sure on the Canadian version, I have the AT&T version, so that's the one I have watched for. Everything I read about this is on xda somewhere. I just don't know exactly where the threads were. Possibly in the accessories forum too.

I think it is safer to avoid replacing just the glass, I want to go with glass and LCD one piece swap. If I replace it with this eBay item for example, I should have everything work back to original state including the capacitive buttons assuming that the display is compatible with my HTC ?
At this point you have nothing to lose except 90 bucks... Buy the glass, and replace it. Take your time, and you will also learn something. Whenever people say something is hard, I use it as my drive to prove them wrong. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Tip: reassemble it, then if t dont look right, take it apart again, then reassemble it again, this kind of softens the plastic gasket that holds the screen in place, after a couple attempts it should sit in just like new.

That's what I meant: glass, digitizer, and LCD in one unit. Its hard to tell if that came out of a LTE version. There are no many One X variants that use the same name. You can try to ask the seller. The only guarantee to get the right part and get them installed correctly is to deal with HTC. Having a screen not seated right, or the buttons not lighting up right would drive me crazy.
Personally, I would just get a new phone, depending on the crack.

Oh I got it. So the capacitive buttons lights are NOT inside the digitizer-LCD unit, that's why the misalignment issues. So basically my best bet would be with an AT&T branded screen. I guess I'll take an AT&T logo instead of a bad capacitive buttons.

I will try to do it, I fixed my galaxy S2 before with guides from the internet, I'll try with the One X. I am just waiting for the seller to confirm if his part is compatible with the HTC One X Evita.
But the bottom line is > phones have grown to big for their own good. The bigger the screen size, the higher the flex. The result is easy to see.
I didn't want a 4.7" but really wanted an HD screen. I guess from now on I'll stick with a 4.3 screen, it is easier to operate with one hand and probably more flex resistant.
Everyone wants thinner, bigger, lighter phones. At some point people need to stop and look at longevity of the device.

I broke my screen a couple months ago on my att HOX. I ordered a new screen to attempt a repair because the lcd was not damaged. I trolled the inet researching before and after I received my screen. short of the long is replacing the screen only? IMPOSSIBLE! way too much adhesive heating slightly only ended up damaging the lcd. I ended up ordering my screen/lcd from repair universe. Meanwhile phone was out of order Once the later than promised repair item arrived from them. It had the HTC logo instead of the ATT one at the top. (little scared at that point to continue, but what the hell) everything fit well. my only complaint is the captivate buttons on the bottom. I was able to transfer the plastic light things for the captivate buttons, just not as perfect as I would like. However works well.
(edit) I still have the screen digitizer. Free to anyone willing to pay for the shipping from Utah, or talented enough to get the screen away from the lcd. LOL
At&t one x and international one xl are identical except for software and the logo. You can get either of these screens with no misalignment.

Thanks. One question regarding these screens from eBay: Is the LCD the same quality as the original one (same colors, contrast, brightness) and is the glass Corning Gorilla Glass or ordinary non scratch resistant glass ?

Do you have a link with a XL screen (HTC logo) that works just like the original one?
Some people are reporting that the capacitive buttons light are not properly aligned with the One XL, only half of the buttons light up. I would get a XL screen with an HTC logo, but I think I would tolerate an AT&T logo instead of half lit capacitive buttons.
No clue on the quality or type of glass. The day after my repair, I had invisasheild installed. I like The feel of glass vs plastic but I don't really want to go though that again. The display on 1080 looks great for my movies.

do we need to heat the screen and back to get the screen+digitizer of the housing, i got this thing all dis-assembled...
Guys i got a Cheap HTC ONE X quad core version at just 250$ locally.
There is some issue with the device. Which the seller told me about it..
The Problem is that, the digitizer is broken on the left side, not much just a little bit. ( like a Pinch )
The screen works fine but the A button on the keyboard does not..
The Brightness of the screen is just 50% all time, even when set to max manually its brightness is 50% only.
The Light sensor works fine, i tried it by showing a torch at the sensor and the capacitive button backlit turned off. ( does it cos of the LCD issue )
Also there is flick in the screen, like the brightness comes up 10% on touch and scrolling.
Also the touch sensitive button backlit is off set.
its bellow the capacitive button not exactly underneath them..
Took it to near by service centre and they told me to change the whole LCD with digitizer.
So if i change the digitizer and lcd completely will the problems be solved??
they are asking me around 125$ for Replacing the digitizer and LCD screen ( HTC authorised service centre )
Rest than that The device works perfectly fine..
The LCD has the backlight in it and the digitizer has all the components that are probably broken. So in short, yes replacing these will fix your issue

Just a small final doubt.
Does the digitizer holds the backlit for the Capacitive buttons??
Cos i saw some Youtube videos on Screen Replacement.. They took off a strip which is the touch sensitive buttons.
Cos in mine its off set. Its like the back button backlit has moved down to the end and then other 2 a little bit down...
sounds like the guy you got it from broke the screen and did his own crappy repair. which I wouldn't have paid $250 for. now your into another repair for $125, you could got a new one for not much more and no headache.
Btw if it's a quad core... wrong section.

I got it all clear..
Saw an ONE X assembly video, in which the backlit of the Capacitive buttons comes in a separate flex cable which also powers the vibrator...
There use to be a glue on the left side and a screw hole on the right side to hold the backlit strip, which that guy must have placed it wrongly on the left side without proper glue, So only its off set from the button...
Am heading to HTC service centre tomo for an paid service.. Hope everything goes well..
HTC will fix it up... they have the proper gear. Good luck!

The HTC One X has a LCD, a liquid crystal display. The black is the liquid moving around. If it cracks the black will leak under the surface like ink. Stop pressing so hard. I think all lcd screens do this if you press hard enough.
Well this didnt happen on desire, lg nitro which has lcd
This phone is designed differently, the LCD is fused to the digitizer so there is no space between them
So when you're pressing you're actually pressing through the digitizer onto the screen

So, I dropped my phone and it didn't crack or anything but when the screen turns on it starts slowly turning really light with colorful lines depending on what colors are on the screen. It's still useable, but really annoying. What needs to be replaced to fix this, I'm thinking it's the LCD, but I want to be sure before I buy it and that's not what it is. Thanks ahead of time.
It sounds like an LCD issue. I work at a phone repair shop, we would test that first. Buy from gounlock.com or repairsuniverse.com or a top rated seller on eBay and you should be able to return it. Plus the part us cheap if I remember correctly. If its not the LCD it might be chip damage. Also make sure nothing got disloged and is pressing on the LCD.

Thank you, I don't know if this helps but the brighter the screen is the faster it does it. If it's darker, it almost looks like it's fine and then very slowly spreads down the screen.
NP. The LCD has more than just the LCD. There is also circuitry. While the LCD may actually be fine if that's damaged you'll need to replace the whole thing. Sounds more like that to me. Phone LCDs are NOT forgiving unfortunately.
Remember watch a few videos and go slow when doing the repair. Its fun but you can trash any device if your not careful. Also be organised with the parts and screws they are usually all different and HTC devices are among the most complicated.
