- one x question screen flicker
does it flicker more for you when you touch the screen? For me it's most noticeable when i'm scrolling slowly, e.g. when in the settings menu, or the twitter app. Try scrolling very slow up or down in settings, for me it flickers a lot, but as said earlier only on low brightness. Another thing I can't understand, if not everyone has this how can it be software related?
Nope, it's constant for me now. It's worsened over the last few days.

I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with the display flickering. The reason for this is a software fault.
In order to rectify this I would like you to back-up your data and perform a hard reset please follow these steps:
- If your phone is tied to a Google account, your contacts, calendar events, downloaded apps, wireless settings can be backed up, if you have entered your Google account details in the initial set-up screens. Please go to , Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync, tap on your Google account, then tap 'Sync now' you will see some spinning circular arrows for a short while, this just means your data is being saved to Google. When the arrows have finished spinning, the data has been backed-up (double check this).
- Or back up your contacts to the S.D card (For Android 2.1 or later) by following these steps; From the home screen tap All Applications. Scroll to and tap People. Tap Menu. Tap Import/Export. Tap Export to SD card. Select which contact Group to export (Phone, Google, SIM etc.). Tap OK.
- Available from the android market is a free application to enable you to back up your SMS messages if desired.
- Images and music can be backed up by plugging your phone into the computer and selecting disk drive mode. After this you can 'drag and drop' files to and from your computer to your phone. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer.
Now your phone is backed up we can perform the hard reset, all data will be lost that is not backed up on your S.D/SIM cards or online will be lost.
- Hard reset on Android From the Home screen, press the Menu key> Tap Settings> Tap SD & phone storage> Tap Factory data reset> Tap Reset phone.
The reason I have asked you to do this is because though it may seem a bit extreme this is the best method for dealing with your problem.
If this does not resolve your issue I think it would be best if best to either have the retailer replace the device or send the device to us for repair.

Just going to LOL at that to be honest. It's not going to fix the issue I've hard reset twice and has done nothing. That's the first thing the technical support asked me to do over at phones4u I told them I've done it already and will not solve the problem!

Same. Got to wait 3-5 working days for the pre paid envelope, and then the same length for the new phone. Going to be over a week until I get to enjoy my phone properly. In the meantime, I am still hoping that the OTA will fix it.

Likewise buddy, let's see if an OTA comes before our pre paid envelopes. One other thing I've noticed is that when using the keyboard the button towards the bottom left in my example is the shift key on SwiftKey is a bit stiff to press like the screen is not registering my touch but a hard press solves this.

That's the worst advice ever! IF this issue is software related then a factory reset will not make the blindest bit of difference. It's only going to cause people hassle getting there phone back the way they like it.
We currently have three options available to us:
1: Send back for a replacement.
2: Wait for HTC to release an update and hope it is in fact software related.
3: If it is hardware related then send the phone back to HTC for repair under the warranty.

Not got that issue. I maybe imagining it, I maybe not, but I can feel the phone 'pulsing' ever so slightly in time with the flickering.
Gutted it's got to go back, but to be honest my battery life is appalling as well so I guess it's for the best.
Hi all, first post here on the forum.
I'm posting here because I had a flickering screen as described above (worse on high brightness with grey backgrounds). I swapped it and there was NO FLICKERING on my replacement handset. I tested this by going into settings-->display-->brightness and checking whether the grey background flickered as it did on my previous handset.
I should also mention I checked the display model in the shop, and it wasn't flickering either.
My new handset, however, has a yellow discolouration in the upper left hand corner and I'll be returning it as a DOA this afternoon.
I am now in posession of my 3rd HOX in a week (!!!) which is also a DOA. Issues with handsets listed are:
Handset #1 - small hairline crack in the LCD underneath the glass. Noticed in the shop, swapped straight away.
Handset #2 - Flickering issue.
Handset #3 - No flickering, but area of yellow discolouration in upper left hand corner of screen. Returning this afternoon.
So either I'm seriously unlucky, or HTC have seriously deficient quality control. I highly doubt the screen flickering issue you all have is a software issue, since I have seen at least 3 other handsets which don't have it.
I'll keep everyone posted on how my next one goes.
Hope this helps.
UPDATE: I now have handset #4, which seems to be free of the previous issues (unless I just jinxed it). Thankfully the guys at the shop were very helpful and replaced it on the spot without any hesitation each time.

handset #2 was ICS 4.0.3, bootloader unlocked via HTCdev and rooted with the clockwork mod recovery from MoDaCo. No custom ROMs were installed. The flickering was there before I rooted it, but it seemed to gradually worsen afterwards. Luckily I still got a replacement despite unlocking the bootloader.
All others were 100% stock 4.0.3.
Needless to say I'll be holding off getting amongst modding until a couple of months down the track, this is my first droid after being an iPhone user for several years.

Hmm doesn't sound good that the flickering is worsening after time, because today i also noticed flickering when brightness is on lowest settings + when putting the phone on charger. On max brightness (or auto) i don't have any flickering
Thanks.
I meant what is the software number of your latest, problem free device (#4?)
My software number is 1.26.401.2 - phone bought in UK a week ago. I am curious if HTC have silently fixed those issues in some of the latest batches.
Less tot none flickering with more charged battery
The more my battery is charged to less flickering is occurring it seems..
The flickering looks like it's having trouble to determine the exact brightness level, because sometimes when i play around with the brightness slider is goes to a much higher brightness level (above 50% when the slider is indicating is should be 20% or less) for a split second and then returning to 20% or less like it should be.

3Serious screen prolems
I bought a HTC Once X and experienced some flickering on grays, for example when clicking on the homebutton twice, where you can see the gray empty screens. There is also a problem when watching youtube on fullscreen - there is some screen glitchng but as soon as i play video with the player controlls the problem disappeared. So i thought it was hardware error, and i returned the phone and got a new one. The same problems appear again on the the second phone. I hope this is a software/driver issue. The screen flickering also appears when you change window in the browser - the animation between two browserwindows. I have uploaded, several examples on youtube, so click on all to see the big picture.

Has anyone experienced this as well? I had it on both my phones, and i don't feel it's any use of returning the second one.2I contacted HTC about the screen flickering issues few days back and they replied that we know a few such cases so this isn't a big deal.
Today I contacted them again and they said, "
Thanks for the feedback, mohsinraza. We're looking
into this issue. In the meantime, please get in
touch with our CS team at http://htc.com/
support and they should be able to troubleshoot
your case individually.
UPDATE: 1.28 firmware is PERFECT. I've found 10+ people with 1.26 with buggy devices. Haven't found a single one who had bugs with 1.28.
Any confirmation of my opinion?22There's an identical thread running in the general section. I posted this there. I'm reposting it here in case it helps provide some insight on how similar problems were encountered and resolved on the Asus Prime.

Fully agree with this statement ; it has to be something to the OTA can fix as just about every person I have spoke to with a OneX has noticed this at one time or another.

Global... The 1.26 is the same everywhere its the last two bits that change.
