Maybe somebody can write a gap cleaning app, just turn the phone on it`s front and run the vibrator for a minute or two and all the dirt/dust should all drop out,

mine has bleeding too at the lower left. only visible in place with total darkness, and i think its tolerable, although it should not be there at the first place there is noting i can do as i purchased mine on handtec, returning it will take lot of time around 2 weeks so i decided to stick with my HOX
ok i was contemplating and agonizing if i should get rid of mine, especially when i saw light bleed in darkness from the left side (looking side ways)
but guess what! the right side has the bleed too, its just a little less since the gap is smaller, the right side is perfectly fit on mine
also i played games for like half an hour and the left side became a lot softer
im starting to feel think its a trait of the device...
anyone which have a perfect device willing to experiment for us? play for half an hour THD heavy games let the devices heat and tell us what happen
I was going to return mine today 'cause of this issue, but gues what: I discovered a scratch on the screen (don't know how it happened) and the store guys saw it too and didn't accept the return.
On Monday I'm going to a HTC repair centre. Do you think they'll consider the gap as a flaw? They can fix it easily or it envolves applying a new screen? This would be the best option, since mine is yellow and I don't like it.

hamdir, are you able to photo the gap for your handset? I can see the gap is a fraction larger on the left than the right, but I only noticed it because of reports here. I have to hold it up at the right angle so I can see along the length of the phone and go, ah, its 0.3mm on the left and 0.1mm on the right. You can see light through that gap on yours, but I cannot. However after about a week, finally I found the flex had returned mid left. However just pressing it for 5 seconds, and it goes away again for a few days. I think it my case it is soo slight, and once again I would never have noticed the flex because its in the middle left, not the bottom or top where you typically squeeze the phone.

exact same as you described it, go to a dark room and look at the phone from the side ways you will see faint line of light, now look at the right side which is 0.1mm like you said and you will find another line of light
here i took this photo from the review posted by Xdaman85!
im more and more convinced that this is a trait of the device, those who say not maybe didn't look hard enough or have the gap another place
im convinced its in all One X, @myself11 it expands when its hot
@gunswordx shadowgun always run cooler than glowball, i get the same temps in here

Hamdir, the photo I took above was after cellphone was being charged and off, so it wasn't hot. Mine always display that issue.
I showed my One X to another One X owner and he clearly identified the issue. On his unit there is no gap.
On monday, I'm going to a HTC repair center, since I cannot return my unit. I trully hope they consider this as a fault and repair it.

Yes, zero gap and zero creek. About flex, I'm not 100% sure as I didn't ask for it directly, but it seems to me that it's fine too. I was even thinking of getting his One X (his company his going to give him one), but I cannot return my unit.
Do you think if HTC center accepts to repair my One X it will be need to replace the entire screen structure or they just gonna glue it better? I want a white screen

most likely just re-glue unless you consider the yellow screen a flaw
i made up my mind, ill keep mine its working perfectly with a perfect screen and no flickering, good temps too
it such a silly non issue to return it for, a waste and a risk
time to just enjoy it now

The line of light is not coming from underneath the glass. It is an optical effect where some of the light is coming out of the sides of the glass itself and reflecting off the shiny black side of the frame lining. I thought you meant there was an open wound where dust could get under the screen. That is not the case here.

I still don't think this is a fault. There are probably slight variances in the size of the black frame and of the glass itself. So each unit will vary slightly. I reckon the repair facility will think you are insane but I am curious what they say. On my right side there is still a fraction of a millimeter gap and dust still gets in. As the glass and frame are two pieces there is no way they will make a perfect seal with each other at every point. If you put a magnifying glass to your friends one you will see there is a gap, just very very very very small.
The important thing is that it it sealed enough that dust can't get in behind the screen. That's all that matters.

so if the left side has a tiny bigger gap BUT its also flexing a little, just a little it means there is a risk of dust getting in don't you think?

It really depends if the flexing is allowing a hole to open or the two surfaces are always in contact but able to move around slightly. If there really was a gap you would see obvious light peeking through that gap I would think. I have noticed my flexing has pretty much gone now as it goes through more heat and cooling cycles. I think it is almost gone completely. But I am very very worried about the reports of the polycarbonate body melting and deforming.

Its like yours most likely, the gap is slightly bigger than the right and it flexes slightly down, it actually needs pressure to flex so no its not really bad and like you said based on the temps sometimes it gets rigid, i think there a slightly uneven glue under one part causing the flex, i hope it disappears like you said
my cousin had a gap plus flex on the top of the device, i pressed it for him hard the moment we saw and it never came back but he is not over using his device like me
This is why im convinced the issue is temp related, i was playing THD games and i saw how the left side relaxed and the gap widened
as for the reports, where did u read melting
that's really alarmingeitherway its unsafe for the device to keep operating at those temps, HTC should not listen to Nvidia, Nv never cares about the longevity of their chips and don't mind messing around with thermal limits
i hope the issue get more coverage so that HTC issues a down-clock update!
i think T3 will do just fine @ 1.3ghz!!
Wont it be a downgrade from a 1.5 sensation in non quad optimised apps (99%)? ..esp considering the higher reso screen.
I have dat tiny hope theyll admit t3 a fail and ship s4 as international.

yes entirely normal, there is a metal frame around the screen protecting it, its nice how hidden it is
i had my Desire HD for 19 months inside a pouch and never collected any dust, the moment i see something stuck i blow it out
stop being so picky!1yes entirely normal, there is a metal frame around the screen protecting it, its nice how hidden it is
