Sometimes my screen randomly acts like it wants to rotate and will black out for a second, do the rotation animation, then be normal. And its really random sometimes, like on home screen, app drawer, even when its laying flat. Its only about once or twice a day, so not a real big issue. Could jb fix this you think? It just started about a week ago, had the phone for 2 months.

Have you tried calibrating it?
Recalibrate the screen if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold HTC One X.
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
Tap Display (or Display & gestures) and then tap G-Sensor calibration.
Place HTC One X on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.
Just calibrate it,will solve your problem.
Press thanks if i helped you!

do any of you guys experience the issue where the capacitive buttons dont light up when theyre supposed to ? which is almost.... always ?
one really annoying thing for me :|
Yes, you're not the only one to have this but It's very intermittent for me.

In my brief time with the DS, the buttons lit up just once. In anything other than full light, they were useless.

well tbh i dont have DS ...yet. im thinking if i should buy this or incredible S :| had optimus 2x in mind.... but its got issues lol.
any1 tried to play dungeon defenders on this phone ? if so ,does it work smoothly enough ? and btw, hows the loudspeaker ? good quality or still crappy -.- ?
My experience is that buttons backlighting simply doesn't work. Sometimes they light up (no matter if environment is dark or bright) but most of the time they don't. Completely sporadic behavior. Makes it difficult to use device in the dark. Engadget has highlighted this problem in their review of Desire S http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/10/htc-desire-s-review/
hm... looks like it works for me okay
Swapped the DS for an Incredible S, backlit buttons work perfectly. So suspect DS software issue?

Works fine here.
Seems ok here.
Very bizarre - got rid of the DS after a day mostly for the wifi issue, but to a degree also because I could not see the buttons in anything other than full light! They literally came on once and that was when I connected it with my PC.
How can that be so when other folks don't have that issue. Different software versions?
Everything ok here.
DS S-OFF with superuser and BusyBox installed. (ROOT)
Maybe a hard reset would had helped.
There are well reported software issues with the buttons, basically the phone detects the background ambient light levels and decides whether our not to light up the buttons
Sometimes in a dark room the presence of a bright light source such as a window or a bright Tv stop them from lighting
unfortunately there us nothing we can do.
Although considering that the buttons don't change positions I always know where they are and which one is which so I can't see what the real problem is?

Ive had to get used to guessing where the buttons are as well.
As an aside you can force them on by putting your thumb over the front camera.
Not a solution but useful when your stuck.

Covering front camera doesn't help in my case IE buttons don't light up.
if you cover sensors on the top left of the screen (one cm to the left from HTC logo) the light should turn on after 2-3 seconds.
Its not the front camera that performs the light sensing it's another sensor thats located on the front face of the phone just to the left of the word hTC under the glass.
you can test this by covering the top left of your phone with your left finger/thumb and after 2-3 seconds the buttons should light up.
edit: sorry just realised that I said same as post above.

funny htc with all their adjustments ...
Haven't had any probe.. work on light sensor,so if there's light shining on phone then won't work,if in dim lit room then they light up..

My HOX got wet in rain and I have dried it in a rice bag for couple days. Everything working again and the only issue is the Back Softkey LED Light. It won't turn on at all. The other two softkey buttons are working fine. Any Ideas? I'm thinking of turning all three off if there is a script or something which sets it permanently.
Please through some ideas or fixes.
Thanks
There are three separate light emitting diodes under those buttons. I'm sure one of them went caput. As long as your digitizer still works you should he fine.

There's a dimmin app here in the apps forum.
I use it myself, can dim or turn off lights, I use the dimming feature for late reading.
About the light, does sound pooched sorry to say, who knows may start up again after killing power to it a while.

My recent button's light went out less than a month after getting it (day it was released). Have no idea what caused it but it looks weird with only two of three buttons lighting up. Up until recently, it would occasionally start working but that hasn't happened for awhile now. I could've sent it in under the 30 day warranty but I had already spent so much effort rooting / etc that it wasn't that big a deal to me. I've recently started using the onscreen nav buttons instead. Didn't like them at first but after using them a while and turning the others off, I just don't understand why htc decided to have them. Wish I could completely hide them (not just turn them off).

I will try to find something which will turn off all three button lights. I hope the broken one comes back sometime once the phone is completely dry.
Here's that app I mentioned.

Awesome!! I tried and this app is working great!! They claim that the setting works with reboots but it didn't in my case.
Yeah, I only really reboot to flash to my alternate daily driver ROM.
I have seen where you need to re-enable it, but no biggie really.

So every once in awhile my phone will start scrolling in-app. At first I thought maybe it was just oils on the skin, like some hp laptop touchpads, but after a while I disproved this. Now the real weird thing is that if I shut the screen off the come back to the app it stops. I'm thinking maybe something to do with sudden changes in ambient temps. Any thoughts?

I have the same issue, was really bad this weekend when it was near 0 and I was outside. same thing where I shut screen off and back on and then it seems OK.

Same here has done it since day one not very often but out of the blue screen acts up. I have watched it move icons on homescreens around before. But turning screen off then on stops it

Sometimes happens on mine, but only when using a high amperage charger or there are water drops on the screen (from rain).

Add me to the list. Mine has done it a handfull of times but turning the screen off then right back on has always corrected it.
Very odd.

Happens to me a lot when it's freezing outside. On/Off cycle fixes it
So my question now being, if we can assume its temp related, could this be solved by a patch to adjust based on ambient temps, or is that in the proprietary driver for the touch panel?

I notice it happens to me if I get the screen wet at all.
As stated, turning the screen off/on fixes it.
My screen is now black and blank , showing nothing , once I start my device I can feel the vibration , and boots up normally but with no screen , beside the lower left corner starts to get warm , I need any help available, and I need to know what's the main problem and how to fix it or is there any way to fix it?
Something else at the beginning of this problem there was a bright white light at the same lower left corner of the screen now is e gone

I have a similar problem with mine - the screen is gets really dull intermitently. When the screen is dull, I have to set brightness to the max to see anything. So I now have brightness set to max all the time which drains battery - I also notice the phone getting warm towards the bottom as well.
And now my device refuses to start at all . Today I will send it to repair and we how things will go

Just for the record and for more I formation for under guys that would face the same problem
At the repair center I were informed that the screen was damaged and it need replacement, and it will cost me around 100$

Just received a brand new HTC One M8 about a week ago and notice the touch screen is a bit spotty at times. For instance, when entering my pin to unlock the phone, some areas just won't respond to my touches until I either turn off/on the phone or rotate the phone from landscape to portrait again. Or when opening chrome and going back to the home screen, the same thing occurs and have to shut-off and on the phone again.
This is all stock, no flashing/rooting done yet.
I would like to know if this is a common problem before I exchange it for another M8 and encounter the issue again.
Thanks
Mine definitely doesn't have a problem with being unresponsive sometimes I think it's the opposite it's to sensitive. I would guess you have a problem. Only time mine doesn't respond is the double tap to wake if I haven't picked it up yet. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

Funny I am right handed and I have recently noticed a couple of times while holding the phone in my left hand, the touch screen unresponsive while I tried to enter unlock pin and while composing a message.
