HTC One X+ Display Upgrade/Replace - HTC One X+

Hi, I recently dropped my One X+ which has chipped the glossy coating off the power button and cracked the screen (also affecting the LCD), I actually see this as a good opportunity to experiment with the screen. I was wondering whether the screen connector is the same as the original One X and if it would be possible to upgrade the screen to an original One X display which was roughly 25-30% brighter and had more balanced colours (the One X+ display is yellowish in comparison). Also I know that the One X has multiple display manufacturers, where can I purchase the bright Acer screen?

I'm literally staring at both my One X and One X+, both displays set to 100% both have identical home screens and I can't see a difference at all. Maybe it's because the're both from AT&T?

I can understand why you would think that, the One X+ actually has a very good display just not as good as the original international One x (maybe I should have stated that previously), The at&t model had the sony screen which was about the same as the One X+ screen, a tad yellow and around 400 nits bright, the international One X had the acer display, colder but overall more balanced, saturation was better and the brightness was around 550 nits, you can actually check on gsmarena for the exact specs. I compared with one of my relative`s original One X and there is a definite difference in brightness

When I have my Att Hox, and Hox+ side by side, I definitely feel like hox is yellowish. Possibly cause its on viper xl?

Screen/LCD Possible 2 different types of displays/qualities?

Hello, I just got a Thunderbolt through my work and I noticed the screen tends to wash out at angles. I had this same problem with my T-Mobile HTC Glacier or MT4G. It turned out to be 2 different vendors Sharp and Sony displays being used in this model. Once I got the good display it was a noticeable difference in the quality of the better display vs the bad one. Direct viewing from straight on is ok just as it was on the HTC Glacier. So I just wonder if anyone might have a good one and could post some pics to show.
Here is my original thread for the HTC Glacier with the Screen issues. There are some pictures and videos to compare the differences. I'm seeing some washing out at angles, especially around the clock digits where this problem is easily seen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863679
Here are some pictures of mine with the Sharp screen. The noticeable areas are the clock widget black areas where they flip.
I'd say it's possible. I'm sure they have more than one place that manufactures the devices. There's been some variability in the build quality of the devices, so it's not too far fetched.
I don't have a camera other than my phone to take pictures, though. It looks like a really good display to me and doesn't "wash out"
You're right there are two displays. I went to the store last week to compare my phone with the display. Because I used to have the mytouch 4g and it took three tries to get one with a nice display. So I was surprise, when I saw the display model and colors were not as vibrant as mine. Man did I get Lucky, first try and it's a winner.
This is interesting. I ran a "dmesg |grep panel" and it returned sharp. I wonder if anyone would get Sony.
Mine is noticeably worse than my MT4G that had the good screen.

If you ask me, there is no doubt that there are two panels for this device. My first TBolt (which had several problems) had a really bad screen and I complained about it in another thread like this one. I had it exchanged and the new one is VERY much better. The first one was not crisp, colors were bad, looked blown out next to my DInc OLED. The replacement is crisp and the colors are beautiful.
I didn't get a chance to compare side-by-side, but everyone who had seen my first one, even my wife who is pretty oblivious about these things, would say that the new one is dramatically better.

Thanks, could some of you with good screens do a dmesg in terminal and report if you have a sharp or Sony panel. Make sure you restart then immediately run the terminal and dmesg command. Mine is a sharp so I'm thinking it is the bad display. Also if you can post some pictures of the screen from the side at extreme angles.
I will try to take some pictures of mine and post them tomorrow.
Before some of you start stating your opinions about looking at the screen at angles, yes there are situations where you are viewing at angles. Also it has been proven at least in the MT4G with the bad sharp display that the colors are not as vivid as with the sony screen even when looking straight on.
Mine is made in Taiwan. If you have a good one post where it was made please.
Mine returned Sharp.. and the screen is much better than my OG droid and my wife's fasicnate. I can read this post at ~160ish degrees, sooo.. no idea

Reading this board may not be enough to tell. I will be interested to see if anyone has a Sony screen to compare.
The point is, everything I do on this phone can be done at that angle, in relation to using the screen. Colors do not change, only the brightness, as to be expected from a gloss screen (and gloss screen protector).
I personally think that shows a quality screen.
Definitely not something to worry about.
FYI : I have my dpi set to 200 if that matters

Here are some more pictures which stand out more with green colors. You can really tell the difference as you tilt to angles and the deep green contrast is lost and it is hard to define the icons. The middle picture is taken from straight on and you can see the difference. I think on the Good Sony displays there will be no difference when looking from angles. I really suspect that the same display problems are following from HTC and the MT4G.
Is there any way to tell my looking at the hardware number what screen we have?

No I doubt it, we could never tell with the MT4G. The only one thing that seemed to hold true in the beginning was the ones made in China had a higher percentage of the good screens and more of the ones made in Taiwan had the more of the bad ones.
i have a sharp panel as well. i'm no connoisseur apparently because i think my screen looks just as good as my old incredible.
I have one made in taiwan and it is essentially flawless, only thing wrong with it is 2 very tiny dots of light leak which can only be seen in pitch black

Odd, mine is made in Taiwan, are all bolts produced there now?
dmesg says sharp panel, but I have no complaints about viewing angle or contrast after quite a bit of fiddling with it and trying to find something to whine about.
I have a sharp panel and it's better than the display model at my local store. I used to own a mytouch 4g, it took three tries to get a good display. And the good display was made in china. My TB is made in Taiwan.
This would explain why some claim to have gorilla glass style display that can't be scratched and others are getting scratches from car keys.
My first phone the digitizer went out after a drop out of the car (no glass broken or cosmetic issues just said touch panel- fail) and the second phone has light leakage not just at the bottom but at the corners too. There is a gap at the right corner for whatever to get into my phone.
I want to know if there is a different 'nicer' panel. It seems quite a few people are popping up with broken digitizers...
The phone I have is a Sharp lq043y1dx04
How do I know? Because I busted mine open to try and fix my broken digitizer. You can see pics and read the story in my post "Anyone want to see the inside of a thunderbolt?"
Still no replacements out there :-(
Digitizer or LCD
I have not taken this phone apart. But I did replace the digitizer on the HTC INC. The Digitizer is separate from the LCD in that phone. Does anyone know if the Digitizer is separate in the Thunderbolt? If so, it does not matter who the manufacturer of the LCD is.
I to agree with this thread that the digitizer on the Thunderrbolt is very easily scratched especially compared to the HTC INC.

Is my screen f***k up?????

Sup guys. I just wanna know if this is a problem or wat.
Ok here I have 2 3d, and 1 of them the colors on the screen are different from the other, for example. The white in one is really white and in the other is kind of cream, and white but not as white like the other
More info?
Do they both have screen protectors
If so are they the same brand?
Are you looking at the phone from the same angle?
Try closing one eye and looking at both
your eyes might be playing tricks on you

There is a theory (don't think anyone's confirmed it yet) that there are two different types of screens being used for the Evo 3d's...similar to how it was with the Evo 4g, which had some Novatek LCD screens, and some had Epson LCD screens. There was a clear difference in the colors of the two screens. I suspect that the same thing is going on here. Mine has the 'creamy white' style white, while the display model in the Sprint store has a FAR brighter white. It has nothing to do with the brightness of the screen or screen protectors IMO, and there is a clear difference between the two. I suspect in the future we will learn that there are in fact more than one type of SLCD screen being used, for whatever reason (in the case of the OG Evo 4g, it was a shortage of a supply on one brand, so HTC started using a different manufacturer of the screens, resulting in the difference in colors)
I just returned one of these yellowish tinted phones. Some say it's a SLCD effect but I find that hard to believe when I'm looking @ my new one with great whites and vivid colors that pop. I have a a feeling HTC is using 2 different panel makers just like they did with the OG EvO. Nova panels had better whites and cooler colors and Epson panels had a warmer color temp. And they also looked washed out to me.
Maybe those running temp root can run terminal to find out what kind of screens they have. I would bet anything it's 2 different manufacturers.

Same thing with the Sensation. There are two manufacturers of the screen, one being Sharp the other being AUO. You can check which panel you have by going into terminal emulator and typing in "dmesg". The scroll down and find panel type.

Thank you sir, I forgot the command to check that. I had checked it on my Evo 4g one time long ago. I have the same type as you do. Panel Type = Panel_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT
What other ones are floating around out there? Start checking, I'm curious to know. With the OG Evo the Nova panels only supported 2 or 3 point multi touch (don't recall) where the Epson panels supported 4 or 5 point multi touch (don't remember) I wonder if anything similar exists here, if it is confirmed that there are more than one type of screen out there, which I definitely believe there are.
I'm glad this thread is here finally. I noticed this too. When I got my phone, the screen seemed to have a yellowish/cream tint which was especially noticable with white backgrounds. I then compared it to several other 3d phones at best buy and a sprint store, all set at max brightness and all at the same wrbsite(google.com). There is definitely 2 set of screens. One has a much whiter background capability. I think I am going to exchange mine. Seeing both my screen and the other screen type side by side, it was pretty clear the other screen had a truer color representation.

Pretty sure on the Evo 3D HTC is only using one panel supplier, because Sharp is the only one producing the parallax barrier screens in any large quantities. The 3DS uses the same Sharp-manufactured screen in a different size, and I'd stake a bet that the Optimus 3D is using a Sharp panel as well.

Download terminal emulator from the market. Open it and type 'dmesg'. Scroll down until you see panel type.

Interesting. Did it list the same numbers as the other ones listed? If they are all the exact same screen and the numbers match up, then maybe there is a problem with some of them. Mine is definitely the creamy white, and I've seen others with the bright white, and the difference is very noticeable. I would've bet that it was two different screens...or at least different part numbers. I don't see how the same screen could have such a vast difference in color.
I'm gonna go down to my local Sprint store and check this out myself. I've had 2 of them and haven't noticed any difference yet. Makes me feel like I'm missing something. I'd hate to want to exchange my Evo3d when I like it so much as it is now. (which means I probably wont anyway)
there are 2 different screens..
1st one i owned looked great.. bright whites..
screen panel novatec/sharp ...
2nd one is only a sharp... it appears the SHARP only screens do not have the bright whites.
3rd one also sharp..

Screen technology comparison with One X

I have a One X now that I'm returning due to the gray strobe problem and I'm considering the Incredible 4G instead.
Can anyone comment on the screen technology? The One X screen, other than the flicker, is fantastic looking. Almost like an image floating on water.
Looking at the specs, it seems like the Incredible doesn't have the same screen technology as my One X, perhaps something lower end (S-LCD vs. Super IPS LCD2).
Any comments on how different the Incredible 4G's screen will look next to a One X? I can't find a YouTube review that talks specifically to this aspect.
I still think the Dinc4G has an SLCD2 based on what reviewers have said about the screen. A lot of people compared it to the One X's screen. SLCD2 is A LOT better than SLCD. Colors won't be as vibrant as a SAMOLED's though. It should definitely be better than the Rezounds even if its just plain SLCD. Perhaps your issue was just with the phone? The Dinc4G might not have this problem even if it has SLCD2

The problem with the One X, if hardware, was probably related to the Tegra 3 chipset or maybe the backlight or something. A lot of people were saying it was software, but my return window was running out so I didn't want to take any chances.
In general, I don't like SAMOLEDs and I would prefer something with IPS, like the One X, just no flicker.

I would be really surprised if it was SLCD2, since the press release specifically said SLCD and did not tout the display in a manner that would be consistent with an SLCD2 display. Also, I've seen zero rumors that it might be SLCD2.
That said, it still should be pretty nice. As you said, some of the people that went hands-on with it at CTIA compared it favorably to the One X's display. The guy at the Verge said: "the screen seems to match the high bar set by the One X, just at a smaller size and resolution"
Also, I'm not sure where you're getting the "It should definitely be better than the Rezounds even if its just plain SLCD" statement from. The Rezound is SLCD too, and it's got a crazy-high pixel density of 342ppi. The Inc 4G is better than the Rezound in a lot of ways (mostly everything), but the display is not among them.
Getting back to TheAndroidSwap's original issue, it doesn't really sound like a display problem... more likely a problem with software and/or other hardware (although I'm not that familiar with this issue, and I suppose that's not really the point anyway).
I am curious what carrier he's on where both the One X and the Incredible 4G are options. Kidding of course... but I'm sure he'd have to pay some sort of exorbitant cancellation fees to switch to Verizon, no?
Also, I think you (TheAndroidSwap) should probably consider more than just the display technology... The actual size of the display could be a factor if you're coming from a One X. I know, for me, the 4" screen on the Inc 4G is perfect. But if you got a One X with it's 4.7" screen, it would appear that a large screen is something that you value. Even though I don't quite understand how you can change carriers so easily (perhaps you just have a lot of money), I would certainly recommend spending a few minutes with a phone with a 4" screen to make sure that's a jump you can really make.

I bought the Tegra3 HTC One X unlocked on newegg and used it on my existing out of contract AT&T account. If I get an Incredible 4G, I'll probably sign a new contract to get the double data plan.
Screen size is less of an issue for me than technology. I do agree the screen on the One X is kinda big, and made using the phone one handed pretty rough, but I just can't stand lower rez / pentile screens.
I looked at the Rezound but I think it's kind of thick compared to the Incredible 4G. I'm also hoping the smaller screen will improve battery life too.

OK, that sounds fine then. Just wanted to make sure you didn't get disappointed by the 4" screen after having used the 4.7", but it sounds like you didn't particularly care for larger size anyway.
Battery life should be good. How good is difficult to say, but it shouldn't disappoint in that regard (especially considering the fact that it's removable!)

I, personally, don't like the Rezound's display. Pixel density makes little difference to me because I can barely tell the difference between qHD and HD on anything lower than a 4.3" screen. The Rezound's display is far too dim for me, and colors are washed out, unlike SAMOLED where colors are vibrant and bright. The Incredible 4G's display has been called "very bright" so I'm not worrying about it being too dim as much as I'm worrying about the color quality. Gaming and watching movies look better on a SAMOLED screen as opposed to an SLCD screen.
The reason I think it might be SLCD2(or some other improved technology), is because people compared to the One X's screen, as opposed to the Rezound's screen. Now if the Incredible 4G and the Rezound had the exact same screen technology, why wouldn't they compare those two phones as opposed to the One X? Reviewers remarked that the image appears to be very close to the display, like the One X, which is a feature of the SLCD2 technology.
I think the reason people compare the Inc 4G to the One X is because the Inc 4G is basically the One series phone on verizon. It makes more sense to make that comparison.
I'm skeptical that its SLCD 2 but who knows.

[Q] Darker display on One X+?

Hello XDA, not much of a poster around here, though a very frequent lurker
After having HTC Desire for more than 2 years, I'm finally looking forward to buying myself a brand new HTC One X+, but something caught my eye recently on the internet as I oggled for any information regarding the device. It appears than the improved "+" version uses a slightly different panel, perhaps from another manufacturer?
So far, I've found two links describing this problem, but am unable to post them as of yet because of a 10 post requirement.
The first one is on a site tweakers .net, you should be able to find the page by searching for the HTC One X+ review - look for page 4/8 of the review. Beware though, the site is in Dutch language. The tests done there clearly show the differences in brightness, dark values and color temperatures.
The other one is a Youtube video, search for "HTC One X+ vs. HTC One X" video on Pocketnowvideo channel. The difference in brightness is pretty visible.
It would be much easier if someone could post direct links to those pages.
Another curious thing that may be linked to this issue: about a week ago I went to a store to once again check out the regular One X (having done that previously quite a few times during this year), and I couldn't shake the impression that the screen on that particular model was also darker than I could remember previously. I dug through the options to see if something was affecting the brightness - it was set at max, and no power saving mode was activated as far as could tell (though not sure if ICS version of SENSE even has that option). Strange, 'cause I was hugely impressed by the screen previously, and thought it was the best I've ever seen on a mobile device. Perhaps it was the model also using a panel from different manufacturer? Not sure.
I'd be very happy to hear thoughts and personal experiences regarding the screen from you guys! I won't be getting this device for at least another month, so I'm not in a huge hurry, though any info would be quite helpful. Also, any information on this thread may be of benefit to many potential buyers of this device.
Thanks in advance!
Tweakers.net's analysis on brightness
Pocketnow's video:
About the Hue, some iPhone 4/4S screens look bluish, some look yellowish, although they have about the same max brightness. I have personally compared iPhone 4/4S screens a few times before. May be a supplier issue.
Thanks for posting direct links, much appreciated!
I hope what you say holds true to One X+ series.. at least I might "win" a unit with quality display by lottery lol.
If all units end up with darker displays however.. I might not buy it after all, time will tell I guess. I'm eager to see what others will have to say about it.
According to recently posted GSMArena review, the situation might not be as dim (obvious pun intended) after all
The screen indeed apears a bit dimmer, though it doesn't seem as a huge letdown, and it looks like it provides a slight better contrast ratio.
I thought I was the only one who has noticed this. The one x plus has a dimmer screen and the blacks are not as dark as the original one x. There is also that bluish tint. When viewed side by side the one x screen looks a lot better than the one x+. Question is why would HTC change something that's not broken. Why not just maintain the original one x screen ?
My logical guess is that HTC didn't change the display because they thought it was bad, but that it has more to do with their relationship with suppliers. Unlike Samsung and LG for instance, they do not possess productional capacity for making their own displays, instead they depend on making deals with other suppliers, and quite often those suppliers end up being their direct competitors in a smartphone market, which puts HTC at a disadvantage. Often, a supplier cannot meet productional demands for all regions, so they end up depending on a multitude of them to fill those gaps. The fact that the One X ended up with such a quality display at all was a major achievement on their part in my opinion, considering their position. Whatever happened with the original suppliers of One X display panels can be anyone's guess.
EDIT: one wild guess could be that maybe they opted for a dimmer display to conserve their not so great battery life, but I'd say it's a stretch.
Probably had deeper blacks, but in return the max white brightness isn't as good.
According to gsmarena, at 100%, whites are not as bright, but blacks are much darker too, resulting in higher contrast.
Thus, I assume display is better and eats less power... but that's only a guess, as I never owned the one x.

Has anyone directly compared in person? the screen is one of the highlights of the one x and it will be a shame if the brilliant screen was ruined. thanks
Reviewers are still lauding it's display as superb and one of the best. According to GSMArena, blacks appear a bit darker when at 100% brightness.
What remains to be seen is what users will have to say about it.

[Q] Corners of Screen Not Secure on HOX+

Hi, I just noticed, on my brand new AT&T HTC One X+, the 2 corners on the bottom of the screen on the phone can be pushed down (not secured) and there is light bleeding from the capacitive buttons. Is anyone else having these issues?
The screen is definitely not secured right...

This is a non-issue.
Just return the thing.
Even Apple pops out a defect from time to time..

Yes... the iPhone 3, 3GS, 4, 4S and 5 just to name a few.
This is a non issue to you because your phone works properly. I didnt see the OP claim that the quality of the One X+ was sub par, or compare it to apple.

My screen is almost OK... almost beacuse of little gap on the top and that light bleeding from left down corner in absolute dark. However... my screen do not pop out from body. But it should be perfect in that price ...
