The backing to my HTC One Mini has half fallen off. I don't remember dropping it, but I guess it is a possibility. Has anyone seen something like this or know how to fix it. I would prefer not to send it in for warranty repair, as that is a pain in the ass. I can upload some photos if anyone wants a little bit of a better idea of what I am talking about.

Also now notice a little red bleeding through on the screen... getting a little concerned probably need to get HTC on this one.
I would send it back for replacement.

Hmm, looks more like the components inside are pushing out the back than the result of a drop. This could be caused by a swelling battery, perhaps the same problem as the GS4 has been having. I'd stop using it, power down and return to HTC pronto.

Being an active member of XDA i've rooted this phone and put an custom ROM on it, that's going to haunt me isn't it?

Basically my WiFi signal drops and reconnects every 5 minutes, and sometimes I lose "4G" and all bars of service completely. AT&T told me to call HTC. The guy made me apply pressure to the back of the phone under the camera, and all of a sudden, my WiFi signal was strong and stable. He said I would have to mail them my phone, so I said no way, I'm not going to be without a phone for like a week or more, so I called AT&T, told them HTC told me it was a hardware issue not a software issue, so finally, after spending 2+ hours on the phone, AT&T is sending me a replacement phone.
Thought I would share this in case there are others in a similar situation.

You had to return your old phone though, right? I would do the same but I can't be without a phone
when you get sent a new one they send you a post paid sticker to put the old phone in. You don't go without.
Sounds like someone needs to start testing for the S-Off guys

Are you saying I should test S-off on the phone I'm sending back to AT&T? I'm already worried about relocking the bootloader and flashing stock RUU before I send it back lol.

If you brick it they won't know.

Exactly what I'm saying. I'd bet they automate scripts to test so it's a one click, or get on chat and walk you through it step by step.

Oh awesome, I need to look into this then. Thanks!
I'd really look over the devices you get sent if I were you. They've sent me out 3 warranty replacements (waiting for the 4th) but I keep sending them back because they all have extremely noticeable defects. They said they will keep sending them until I get one that is in good condition. I don't have to argue with them at all. I wish I could go to a completely different phone but they won't do that.

Just call the AT&T customer service 1-800 number. Explain your issue, say you already did a factory reset, and they should offer to replace the phone.

Opening my own contract with AT&T. I've ALWAYS had a Samsung phone. And it recently started looking like every phone they released looked the same. I mean the s4/s3/note/note2 look exactly the same besides bigger/smaller dimensions.. Is this phone still worth getting?? Can it still hold its own. Is there more to it than I think when it comes to unlocking boot loader then flashing ROMs?? Should I just get the HTC one.. Or X+ even?? Please give me your opinion.. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. My only concern with the ONE being can it be rooted and able to flash ROMs SOON?? Cause if not I'd prefer to wait till its able. Unless you think its fine out of the box?

I would also like to note this will be my very first HTC phone I've owned. So please give me advice on these phones as to how much is different from Samsung. As in rooted flashing recovery. What's this s-off/on stuff?? I've never messed with it

my expert advice would be to do some research.
I came over from a captivate and didn't have too many problems getting adjusted. There are loads of tutorials on what you'll need to do with root and bootloader so it's just a matter of reading and getting started. I'd honestly recommend getting a One though. I love my one X, but I can never recommend getting an older phone unless you can't afford / don't care about the newer models. I don't know about development for the One X+, but I'd take that over the One X just for the storage space.

Just get the one. Not because Samsung are terrible (they are not) but because it it something different. Its like going someplace to eat and getting the same thing. Try something new. Plus HTC makes phones to last (of course when you take care of them)

This... One x is still a great piece but with the available options you'd be silly to but this handset but that's my opinion also.. I've had mine a year and still love it but soon, new device will make it into my hands...

I dropped my HOX at the gym while on the treadmill. Stepping on it as well. It is in an otter box case so no noticeable damage. I have the viper rom installed. It seems glitchy and not as responsive. Suggestions? Reflashing the Tom perhaps?
Thanks...

You should definitely re flash tom.
Jp. I can't see how dropping your phone would make your rom laggy. But you can try re flashing if you want.
My bet would be that your digitizer is screwed up

I would say this as well. AT&T sent me a "new" phone because my screen was left unresponsive as times after it fell (though they didn't know that detail).

so I have a practically new one x with a brand new scre3en but don't have the original screen to prime so to speak to get the new one going,i guess this is common you need to plug in the old screen start the phone then plug in the new one, is there any way around this, like I said I don't have the original screen and cant get the new one to come on when I plug it in......thanks in advance for any and all replies...jim

I believe the only way around it is to have the exact same model screen as you had before since 3 models were made by 2 different manufacturers. Though, I am no expert, I did do a fair amount of research on this and did not come up with any way to get around it while researching.

What did you do with the old screen? Trash it before you knew it was needed? And do you remember the color on the tab? The 3 screens have different colors. You have 2 choices left. And if I recall I think the Sony screens work on them all. But like exad I'm not a expert either just too much time to read threads on XDA

I think I read somewhere that you have to connect the new screen while the phone is powered on, so it will sync properly. I may be wrong though.

So wait will it sync if you power on the old one with the broken screen connected then swap it for the new one? Just asking incase I ever need to do this

That's how you're supposed to sync it from what I understand.
