After 4 Weeks the Problems started...
...first of all, iam coming from the HTC Desire handset. A solid, powerfull, less memory brave smartphone at least for 2 years.
Switched to Desire X because of the lack of memory on my Desire, although root and sd-ext.
I was very impressed of this low budget device, it did a precious impression onto me, but now i know why HTC is losing marketshare and the earnings decreases.
The device itself, even without the backside attached creaks on the upper left and right corner - ok i would life with that, but there are constant reboots and state an error report, while my device is on standby and stored in my pocket - maybe there is too much pressure applied while i tie up my shoes, but my old desire took it without any problems.
The main problem is the screen, i got an array of faulty pixels - so iam heading to my retailer to get this device repaired and then sold.
Nexus 4 iam coming, although i loved the handy size....
Attached pictures of the upper left corner taken with a One S through a magnifying glass...
no problem
I also have a Desire S, now my wife is using it.
Until now I don't have any problem, it's smoother and I think it eats less battery than Desire S (both stock ROM).
Waiting for full Sense that i miss from Desire S :crying:
Unfortunately I recognized one problem.
After every shutdown and restart of the phone I miss some apps on the screen or in my favourite folder.
Like most of my other apps I transferred them with Titanium Backup from my old phone (Desire).
I cannot see, why these few apps (Financial Times App, Paradise Island, Blast Monkeys, Bad Piggies) behave like this and the others not. Maybe it is associated with root, maybe not...
Yep, have the same problem, it's because those apps are installed on the SD-card, and the phone doesn't link them to the screen when booting.

That means theres no way to change that behaviour (without another rom)?

Why should another launcher solve the problem?
The apps will stay on the SD-card, why should the behaviour change?
The only problem is the small number of developers writing ROMs. :silly:

Because they use other methods for the shortcuts. Just try it and give us feedback. I don't have the problem on my desire x so it's up to you.
i have this phone for a 2 weeks now, and still not have any problems, except one random reboot..i dont know why, hope that will not repeat
No problems so far. Works like a charm.
Im comming from Desire (bravo), and Desire Hd.
I can say Dx is awsome budget phone, never had any prob. Running smooth.

The only problem is horrible hiss noise on headphones and speaker. But that is unrepairable.
phones got bad bad speekers... wanna kill htc for it... rest is superbbb

Hey folks, I have serious issues with the multi touch recognition..
What you do:
You tap and hold with one finger, then you tap tap with another finger
What the phone does:
It forgets the first finger you are holding down.
IMHO that should definitely not be the case, especially not in this price range.
(and if you think why the hell does he care and how does one notice?...just play some pinball game and you will See..)
This is international stock ROM. Any suggestions?
Thanks and good night,
Daranus
Edit: even more visible in games like dead trigger. When I am running forward with the left thumb and tap the right thumb for a single shot, I stop running. That does not seem right at all.

Hello
I don't always play games in my phone, but only to testing if there is a problem in multitouch or not, i installed 2 games (pinball deluxe and dead trigger) and didn't notice any anomalies or problems in multi touch points (i can use 2 points touch at same time freely and without any interface between each others),so i think its software bug, so i suggest to do soft reset (or hard reset) and see if the problem persist.
Also you can test your screen touch points with an free app in play store (multi-touch benchmark test) and see the result.
P.S try to disable the 3 fingers htc gestures which found in setting/display & gestures/htc gesture (because with this option enabled you have only 3 points multitouch, but with this option disabled you have 10 points multitouch-yes 10 points-).
Thanks

Don't have that problem on mine.
This happens to me as well. I could not figure out why dead trigger was not working properly, now I realize it's a system wide issue.
I tried disabling HTC gestures and enabling it and I'm still having this problem.

Thanks for your answers,
I already used an application for multi touch testing, same results.
It does not matter if you turn the 3 finger thingy on or off (and we are talking 2 finger only anyway so it should not matter)
And good to know, that an ATT device can have the issues as well...I wonder what it is =/
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Alright...one step further.
Did a hard reset and the issue is gone.
Now I have to track down what actually broke the multi-touch function..will post if I do!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Got it.
Managed to break it again and discover the reason.
If you choose to have no lockscreen, you break multi touch. That simple.
Try it out folks.

So it breaks it permanently if you ever decide to not have a lockscreen, or just while you don't have one?
Just while you dont have one (so it was only me who lost everything because of that bull**** )
However, I think it's a serious issue which was a pain in the ass to track down because who in hell could think that this is caused by that. Is there some place to tell HTC such stuff?
And if someone with a custom ROM reads this, can he confirm if custom ROMs have the same issue? Tyvm!
Just discovered even more...it even breaks games (!!!) E.g. Maple Story live. Is Unplayable with no lockscreen because it ends itself all the time for no reason without an error...and now...no issues anymore, runs like a charm.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I've been having the same multitouch issue, rendering most games unplayable. Thus far enabling the lockscreen does not solve it.
Edit: after rebooting the problem is gone...strange. I can't wait for CM 10.1 to come out so I can get rid of this ROM
Just installed multi-touch test app, disabled lockscreen and multi-touch works like it should. Recognized 10 fingers (didn't try with foots Latest 1.17 firmware.

My s3's ar fine. I even use otterbox commuter on both of them all the time. I experienced a bit warm at the bottom while playing heavy games for long time, but in rest is fine all the time.
Agreed. I tweaked a lot of aspects on my phone but back when it was stock, didn't notice any hot battery.

Like you I had one x but moved to S3, do it you will not be disappointed. Mine as been fine, no problems at all

Yeah, sometimes mine will over heat, but I was a pretty buggy ROM when it became a problem. When it was stock, heavy use, multiple open apps was causing it to heat up.
I think the plastic back makes a big difference.
I made the switch from one X to SGS3 and overall I think it was worth it. My One X wasn't hot all the time though, so maybe yours is faulty.
For me there's only two real downsides to the SGS3. Firstly, the screen definitely isn't as good. Secondly, there isn't a rom that comes remotely close to what j4n did the the viperx rom. I can't find one rom here that has on-the-fly tweaks even similar to venom tweaks.

By hot you mean upto what temperature??
My s3 goes upto 39° if I play graphic intensive games for long durations...
No problem at all with general usage and browsing for even long periods of time..
Hope this helped..
Btw, I am running stock jelly bean on international s3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had an HTC one X+, gave it to my mum and get an s3.
I have it since Saturday only but I like it. Really fast, really smooth and u will forget incompatibilities with tons of games from play store.
Games runs much better than HTC but well, maybe it was just my problem, some ppl on x+ forum says they're running games ok. S3 gaming framerate is awesome.
And it was not expensive at all

I just got tha same problem today and i saw your topic just before posting a new one.
I got the problem using the MROM-ICS (of course i dont blame the developer or the rom for that). Basically i had a lot of problems with the rom and my old (gingerbread) data and apps so i has flashing the rom/gapps and restore all the time witch turned me mad... then i just pressed the screen a little harder (really little) when pluging in the charger. I saw he screen doing this weird color when you press it (like the pc monitor does) so i think that this is my fault.
So if i understood right you had the problem before and after digitizer change ? Sorry but i am not sure of what i read here
PS: I tried pds fix but with no luck.
The digitizer is not good /doa. You'll probably need another new one. Happened to me times.

Mine had the same problem same place but it's spread to the centre as well now
I think it's with the stupid flex cables and something to do with the faulty design of fingerprint scanner position
No one has permanent solution for this but for temporary purpose you can insert a piece of credit card inbetween the battery top location and check

Has anyone experienced issues with the screen sensor not responding well while on a call?
Sometimes if you lock the screen while on a call and you try to unlock it the screen with shut off as soon as you touch it and will remain on that behavior until the call is ended, therefore not letting you unlock the phone or perform any other activities on the phone.
Anyone?

Yes! It happens to me rather frequently. Thanks for starting this post. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

It's funny because this is the 2nd HTC phone that I can report with this bug. I had the Evo 4G LTE before this one and it suffered the same issue even after all official updates.
The only solution with that phone was to flash a custom ROM which was good, but up to now I'm still on the fence about rooting this one; stock on this phone is stable and bloatware is minimal, I haven't justified taking the plunge yet.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I'm with you there. I did root mine... but only for data restore purposes. It may sound crazy.. but I don't want SwiftKey to start over with learning my typing habits. Other than that, like you, this phone and my Nexus 4 are the only two phones that I have had no desire to install a custom ROM. Fingers crossed that there is a solution other than that.

Yes, happened with me quite a few times. Once a call is initiated (phone speaker on or off) and the screen goes black (due to proximity sensor), no amount of tinkering will bring it back until you press the power button which kills the call. It is damn annoying and am hoping there is a fix.
The phone is on 1.29 M7 TMobile ROM, rooted with S-OFF
I had that problem too on LG L7. Tried with various roms and nothing. But I fixed somehow with the app called "proximity actions". It lets you command your phone with hand suggestion via proximity sensor. I only installed it to check the hardware, wether the sensor works. I have no idea what happened, but it started to work again. The app somehow toggled the sensor and brought it back to life.

Not sure if all ROMs have the option but you can go in to the accessibility options and turn off power button ends call.

I've noticed this issue has significantly increased amongst other things like freezing since I unlocked my bootloader. :what:

Never once has this happened to me. Bone stock.
Guess that's another reason I don't trust "IMAROM CHEFS!" ROMs that are "cooked up" on some random internet user's computer.
Stock is fine these days, IMO. Outgrew the glitchy nature of kitchen ROMs and such.

Been using ROMs for years and I've hand,y ups and downs, I can't say I've had a horrible experience with any ROM I've used on any of my past phones. Now I do agree with you about the stability of stock ROMs these days and also the better specs of the phone. For instance I haven't rooted nor unlocked my phone because I personally feel that the delivered product is good and haven't felt the necessity to tinker with it. The issue described is with stock, not custom ROM.
With that said or you haven't had the scenario for it to happen or your just the lucky one....

From few days I have touch screen problems and Im not shure is from the software or just need new touch screen.When I press on the screen once, then phone start to pressing by himself on random places on the screen(On CM10 theres function that i can see where i pressed with fingers and i was able to see what is gong on, its like im typing on the screen with 3-4 fingers,just screen is going crazy and i just can sid and watch what phone doing)....Like today I join on skype and started to chat.After few second phone started to writing alone
Anyone with the same issue ? And how can be fixed ? New display?
I think that's more of a kernel issue. Try switching your kernel.

Its the Hackers controlling you're phone! I knew that InfinityShooter guy seemed strange. Haha only Joking
But yeah Try a different Kernel (Fulmix or Infinity) as suggested I used to get this a lot on NexusKernel
