Replacement screen not sticking down and buttons not lining up - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I had to replace the screen on my Rogers One X, but the three touch buttons on the bottom of the screen just won't line up correctly even though their placement on the digitizer appears to be in the same spot; the light seems to barely make it through the far left button, the far right button seems decent though. Also, I screwed up the adhesive and the screen doesn't want to stick down, any ideas how to fix that or what to order?

Sell the phone and buy a used one. Honestly, it will cost you about the same as an lcd digitizer combo. As far as replacement is concerned, I'd put money on the fact that you got an international screen (HTC logo up top instead of carrier). That won't fit our phones perfectly, so unless you buy a new assembly, you won't be able to fix them. Good luck!
Viper Rom, baby!

I used some gasket sealant around the edges and cloth around the phone then clamped it down for 24 hr. I also blacked out the captivate buttons .
@Bruno I love your pic! Subies rock!

Doh, I bet I did get an international version instead of the N/A version, I ordered the parts a long time ago and maybe mis-ordered or got the wrong one. I thought I had read somewhere these parts were interchangeable though with only branding differences. However the Roger's One X does say HTC instead of the carrier name unlike the AT&T one that I also have.
I guess I'll try some kind of similar adhesive that I can find locally and try clamping it down overnight one of these days and hope for the best. I'll take another look at the buttons and decide how I want to approach that. Can they also be turned off in a custom ROM such as Viper?
But the digitizer seems pretty cheap @ $35: http://www.smartphonebay.net/Touch-Digitizer-for-HTC-One-X-p/tdig-htcs720.htm Is that the right one? Or is that the international version?
That seems way cheaper than a used One X???
I only paid about $100 for an LCD + Digitizer combo.
Last minute find: I see the original screen had light plastic guides going to the buttons and the new one does not, maybe I can just move those over ... they are kinda broken though.

You can try moving the plastic things over to the new one. I did that to begin with. "Pain in the @ss" it never looked right and bleed light out the side so I just put some of that gasket sealant over the lights and the inside of the captivate buttons.

Ok, I'll give it a go when I find some free time. I have two One X's and an HD7 so it's just a backup phone I bought a while ago...although it has louder and clearer audio.

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.

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

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.

Had it. Returned it.
Offers no protection and makes the phone very slippery.
Got it for $15. Not worth it. Definitely not worth it at $30.

How ridiculous of HTC to release such a flimsy case for such an expensive price. I saw a picture of this case snapped in half quite easily.
Clearly someone at HTC was playing a joke, I mean blue and orange? $30? I feel like they're virtually feeding us crazy pills.

I like mine and use it when not at work. I work out in the field and use the best buy case and holster combo. It's nice when going out to dinner and showing off the great design of the one x. FYI that link is for the one x and not for the att or rogers(xl) version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I realize now that this is a slightly different case than the one I was mentioning. This is the official case for the international One X. I don't know if this is quite as flimsy as the one for the One XL, but it probably wouldn't fit on the XL anyways. Could anyone confirm this? i'm interested in grabbing the white one for my fancy times.
The white one reminds me of a golf ball.. but they should've kept this pattern for the US version instead of the stripe/bar pattern we got.
I can't vouch for that one specifically. I do have the HC 700 for my XL though. Unfortunately since I'm a new user it won't let me link it, but you can find it on the site you found that one under the HC 700 model number.
It's for the International version but I decided to give it a shot for my phone. It does fit, just not perfectly. You can feel a little(barely) flex in it if you press down on the back of the phone's edges. The camera lens also doesn't line up completely but luckily the flash is not covered and the lens is not covered, just a little of the ring around the lens gets obscured by the case. Same thing goes with the hole for the speaker, it just barely comes up to the point where the holes for the speaker are but it doesn't cover them, but it does leave a larger gap at the top of the speaker holes. None of the buttons or input/output jacks are affected though. Since that is a similar case I'm sure the results would be similar.
I primarily got the case to keep the back of my White One X(L) from getting scratched, so far it's doing its job so I can't really complain too much about the minor alignment issues.
Yes,also know this case from other forums that it's don't do good protection..

Changing blue housing to white?

I'm just curious about how I might go about changing the pebble blue housing to the white housing, if I were to purchase the parts somewhere. I've tried locating people in my area who might be interested in trading with me, but it's been futile. Obviously, I wouldn't be tearing the phone apart by myself, but does anyone know of any places that might do something like this, like Best Buy/Geek Squad?
I think it's probably impossible to change anything other than the backplate. And if it was possible it's probably a lot of expensive work that's not worth it.
Geek Squad would not have the slightest clue on how to go about that. I'm basing this off of the few times I've had them try to do anything. Their best advice was "battery pull, reboot." "What do you mean it's not fixed!?"
I'm assuming the front bezel would come off minus the screen, but turn your phone and look at the buttons, and the side bezel. All blue. It's just too much to easily replace. My .02

I think I would try to sell it on Ebay for all I could get and then use the money to get a white one. You'd probably have a lot more reliable phone in the end this way. You're looking at some major surgery to do the front cover, IMHO.
You can replace the battery cover, and they have screen covers that will change the color on the front, if you're willing to go that route. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822228
ur better off selling the blue one on ebay and turning around and buying a white one
The home button and battery cover would be cheap and simple however the front part would be expensive as I believe the colored part (under the glass) is part of the digitizer and screen which is over $100 for a replacement.
I didn't realize that the colored screen protectors were available, I may just have to give those a go! And as far as selling it on EBay goes, I most certainly would. My only problem being, that I don't have a phone I could use in the meantime!

I got Verizon to send me an S III for free, because I had gotten 6 Nexus warranty swaps, all with the dreaded purple screens
I asked for white.
I didn't really want white, about 10 minutes after I ordered it I realized this.
I called back and they already sent me the phone. I was kinda pissed....
SO when it arrived, I called back. "You sent me the WRONG color!" :laugh:
lol I'm getting my blue one later today. They already make enough money and get enough from me every month!

Phone Got Driven Over By a Car

Hello,
I am wondering if the One X and XL have the same screens, for replacement purposes. My phone got driven over, screen is shattered, phone still works fine, but need to replace it. Also if i replace the housing will the camera lens be replaced as well?
If anyone knows of a decent place to buy these parts, that help would be appreciated to thanks
Ouch. I believe so but you should get a second opinion on it, if anyone can chime in
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk
I am starting to think so, as i cant find any one xl screens online. I cant find One XL housings either, and i would think they are different, seeing as the phones are different sizes. Frustrating none the less.
It's really hard to find housings for the One XL. I haven't seen any for the XL on sale yet. Alot of vendors on Ebay and the like will be selling parts for the International version. You might have better luck buying a One XL on craigslist from someone who's hard bricked their phone instead. Worth a shot.
After it getting crushed like that, I'd fear it would be only a matter of time before other things started going wrong. If insured, I'd make a claim.

So does the phone still work fine or is the screen broken? Just teasing you. Sucks for sure. Good luck getting it fixed!
From what I have heard, the One X is not very DIY fixable. So people have had some success but others have failed. It really depends on how you do it. I hope this helps!

Somebody posted on here that HTC will replace the screen and housing for $220.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29607462#post29607462
As already mentioned, replacing the screen on the One X is not that easy a repair job. If you read the whole thread from which the above post is from, you will see that a supposed "professional" repair shop couldn't even do it right (and subsequently pulled the service from their website).
Hey guys! I got some inside info in regards to this. I dropped my HOXL off a counter about a month back and shattered the screen. I had a shop replace it, due to hearing how difficult a self repair was. Interestingly enough, if the LCD still works, then the repair will cost a lot less, even though it's a much more difficult repair. In my case, the repair guy broke the LCD trying to separate the two pieces (which I figured would happen) so they had to get me a whole new panel. Interestingly enough, they replaced the screen with one from the HOX, basically the international one.
Yes, it will work, however, it does not sit totally flush on my device. It sticks up about the thickness of a credit card on all sides. Even though with a little force to the edges, you can get it to fit flush, so maybe it was just installed poorly. I've used a number of small binder clips to try and get the screen to sit flush permanantly, but no matter how long I keep pressure on the screen, within an hour, it'll pop out again. I use a cheap little TPU case that wraps around the edges to deal with the unevenness of the screen.
Secondly, the LEDs the illuminate the 3 buttons on the bottom don't line up. Again, I'm not sure if this was an install problem or a difference between the models, but the lights are off by about a centimeter to the left. As such, only about half of each icon are light up at night.
Hopefully that clears up some questions. I can get a picture or two up if you'd like...
I posted the link for the xl screen a few pages back...

[Q] Black Screen/Loose Cable?

Apparently my phone is deciding to freak out ever since I have decided to upgrade to a Nexus 5 when/if it comes out in Oct. I did my forum search/homework and found that by pushing the left side of the display about mid way the screen would come back on. Given the right amount of pressure and duration the screen will stay on. So I thought it was just a loose cable and decided to be brave and open it up and reseat the cable.
I amazingly was able to open up the housing without breaking anything... a first for me. I located the cable about half way down the left side and did what I thought was reseating it. I popped the display/board back into the back housing and snapped it down. Well it turns out that if I snap down the right side and the bottom but leave the left side unsnapped everything works without a hitch. As soon as I snap down the left side the screen goes black and I have to do the pressure on the left side of the screen thing to get the display working.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not adverse to opening the case up again but I don't know what exactly I should do once I have it open now that reseating the cable didn't work. Is it possible that a bit of felt or something on top of the cable would work to get enough pressure on it? Should I blow the whole thing out with compressed air in case there is dust or grime in the connector? Seriously, I am open to suggestions.

The issue is most likely with the flex cable itself and not the connector. a rip or a weakspot. One person managed to get it working by unfolding the cable. If you're able, you could try replacing the flex cable.

I had the same exact issue. The cable is supposed to be bent like that, but if you unbend it, the display comes on. Unfortunately doing that caused my cable to short and the phone caught on fire.. I had to buy a nexus 4 (only $400, happy with it) instead of repairing the hox for $250+

Yah I think 10-20$ on a flex cable is worth the risk compared to 400 for a new phone though..
Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'm toasted. It sucks because I babied the hell out of this phone. No drops, no moisture, always in a case with a screen protector. On the other hand I beat the hell out of my old LG Optimus S. Dropped that thing more times than I can remember and its still going strong as my dedicated car MP3 player. Go figure.
I may pick up a Galaxy 3 on craigslist for $250 and then sell it when the new Nexus comes out. I should be able to sell it for $250 and thus not lose any money. Still rather have the HOX screen than the crap Galaxy screen though.

Well, if it requires more than a simple unplug and plug back in it may not be for me. Heck it was a minor miracle to get the back plate off and put back on without a mushroom cloud.
That said, craigslist may have an answer. S3 for $250 or s4 for $300. If they actually go through with the sales I may buy both and resell the one I can live without. Then I could try my hand at fixing this thing and sell the other. Silver lining and all that...

Well, the the supposed s4 turned into the seller trying to pass off an s3 as an s4. The s3 was busted all to hell. So I am thinking that I may try my hand at a HOX repair.
Would I be replacing the whole LCD or just the ribbon? I did some looking around and I couldn't really find a One XL lcd flex cable. Found a bunch for My Touch and other phones though which is quite helpful.
LCD would be easier but you'll want to get one with the exact same color flex cable as you have now to make life easier on yourself because there are 3 different screens for the onexl.

Full LCD is about $80+ right? Could you point me in the direction of the cheaper alternative? Also, if you would, what would it take to replace just the cable?
No i cant because I don't know which of the 3 LCDs you have. Also 80 is around what you should expect to pay. Don't go too cheap or you'll have yourself a cheaply made LCD that burns out after 2 months.
Ive never done this for this phone before but i imagine Replacing the flex cable involves heating the cable on the LCD end using a heat gun to soften the glue and then carefully removing the cable on the LCD end then heating the new cable to get it to attach to the LCD and then solidifying with a glue gun. Once it's all dried in place you can snap in the connector on the other end to the board.
If anyone else wants to add to this feel free.

I dont know if you'll want it to be honest. Even though I've taken mighty fine care of it I just realized that the speaker doesn't work. The earpiece works but the speaker on the back doesn't. Bugger. Well I figure I've saved roughly $250 by using straight talk... so I guess spending for a new phone isn't thaaat bad
Dead HoX... RIP
Welp... the phone died. No worky none. It doesn't even turn on anymore. So I broke down and bought an Optimus G for $225. Not exactly a steal but it should work until something better comes along and I can resell it.
I will miss my HoX. It was a good phone and the dev community was fantastic. It and this forum will be missed.
I need help. Plz look on YouTube and search marknoll79. Titled black screen HTC one x. Let me know if this is what u all went through

Apparently my phone is deciding to freak out ever since I have decided to upgrade to a Nexus 5 when/if it comes out in Oct. I did my forum search/homework and found that by pushing the left side of the display about mid way the screen would come back on. Given the right amount of pressure and duration the screen will stay on. So I thought it was just a loose cable and decided to be brave and open it up and reseat the cable.
I amazingly was able to open up the housing without breaking anything... a first for me. I located the cable about half way down the left side and did what I thought was reseating it. I popped the display/board back into the back housing and snapped it down. Well it turns out that if I snap down the right side and the bottom but leave the left side unsnapped everything works without a hitch. As soon as I snap down the left side the screen goes black and I have to do the pressure on the left side of the screen thing to get the display working.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not adverse to opening the case up again but I don't know what exactly I should do once I have it open now that reseating the cable didn't work. Is it possible that a bit of felt or something on top of the cable would work to get enough pressure on it? Should I blow the whole thing out with compressed air in case there is dust or grime in the connector? Seriously, I am open to suggestions.

I thought we established that you're experiencing a hardware problem, I'm not sure what you're hoping to get out of continuing to post about it?
