Cracking Open the HTC One X ? - HTC One X

Does anyone one know if anyone has done one of those "cracking open" vids for the HOX yet ? I would be interested to see how it's set up inside. I'd also like to know if the 32GB internal memory is actually a micro-SD card that could be swapped for a 64GB at some point

I would be shocked if the internal memory was a MicroSD and not soldered to the board. It kind of defeats the purpose to make it non-removable and NOT give us the performance of a dedicated connection.

Shocked or not, it's what they did with the HD7. I wouldn't be surprised at all. A good, high speed SD card?...you'd never know the difference

Whatever is the cheaper option. That is what they did. Can pretty much guarantee it.

From a diagnostics, servicing & repair point of view it would be much cheaper and easier if it was an SD card.
Not sure about manufacturing. Probably about even.

Just wondering if the only way to open up the One X is to remove the LCD screen? If yes then what's the point of knowing if it's a 32mb SD card? Is the average joe able to open it up anyway?

A) Curiosity.
B) This is not about the average Joe. The average Joe does not crack open his phone, or root it, or install custom ROMs, or visit xda-developers.com. The average Joe has an iPhone.

do you not mean peeps with iphones are like sheep and scared to get a real phone LOL

Is there a doctor among us?
Put a HOX under X-ray (Turn it OFF first) and post a pic here.
We'll find out, if there is a memory card or something. Also, may be we'll see how to disassemble a HOX.

I think the HOX may be easier to disassemble that you might think.
I bought a gel skin case for mine which I take off fairly often because the HOX is so damn beautiful and nice to hold that it seems a crime to ruin it with a case.
Anyway, the case it quite a snug fit and I noticed when removing it that if I put my thumb on top of the polycarbonate just under the buttons at the bottom of the screen and firmly but gently flex it back I can snap the polycarbonate away from the screen by just a few millimetres. I can clearly see three little snaptabs sticking off the bottom of the screen that hold the polycarbonate in place. It snaps right back into place immediately.
I am too scared to try this right now but I think with further gentle pressure the whole outer casing would be levered away and you could lift all the innards out of the polycarbonate unibody.
There is clearly no "tool" access to the device so I assume that this is how it is assembled and disassembled.

BTW, here is a short video of the "opening" I mentioned above :

Yeah, y'know, I think I'll leave that to someone else.
Maybe someone who's already bricked theirs or got a DOA.
Mine's too new and shiny

So maybe this brings hope, that this is not a throw away phone or a send back to HTC service centre senario. Hopefully the battery could be user replacable in a few years time, once third party batteries become available.

gives me hope too...
even if it's a Li-Po, probably third parties will make a bigger battery for it, if it's possible.. >=)
oh and, HOX, what a wonderful name =D xD

I saw in one of the Windows mobile magazines that they make SD to VGA adapters. It mentioned that there was a microSD version soon to be released, and that there was a bluetooth product as well.

If memory serves me correctly the Universal was original sold with an optional TV/VGA out cable. It may be worth posting on the HTC forum itself or digging around. I am pretty sure that it was only the first few G3 devices that were advertised as having these cables, but have had a dig around myself last year for these to no avail.

Interest information, do you know more details about that
Wow, that sounds kewl, might have to email HTC.
The only info I could find on this is whats in the Wiki anyways
The touch-screen controller given shows the pin-outs which should tell us the touch-screen pin-config'.
I've given up on this anyway so I turned my camera into a nightvision camera really easy to do!

Share more details, I too was playing before with camera and IR leds
sorry this will be mega rushed just realised im still in my pjs and gotta be at work soon!
Basically you dissasemble to PDA as shown in the wiki, then take apart camera base, behind it there should be a coloured filter (IR filter) take it out and replace with two really dark things (like the begining of a negative) then put together and take pictures in the dark whilst pushing a button on a remote control i will make a proper how to do thingy when im home tonight!
Bye for now!
IR Camera
Right first of all I think I tried it with my Uni and couldn't suss how to get to the IR filter but I tried it on my Nokia and its working like a charm!
1: Take apart the phone,
2: Uncouple camera,
3: Using a knife prise the four corners of the circuit board off the base of the camera (make sure you only go about 1mm in MAX! Also make sure you remember which way round it goes ),
4: Unscrew the lenses off the front,
5: Punch out the IR filter, this should be the slightly coloured one usually red (or find a way to take it out properly if you wanna keep it but mine was glued on),
6: Find an old photo album and take the negatives, look for the first part where it is just pure black (no pictures) and cut two circles out of it to place where the IR filter was, (this will be your visable light filter),
7: Reassemble,
8: Go somewhere dark and use a remote control as a light source and take photos!

Doesn't matter how careful you are, if you lose it, it's still lost.
Until someone finds it and maxes out your creditcard.
I'd be keen on doing that with my NFC cashcard though, would be good to swipe my phone at stores to pay for stuff.

I had one of these for my HD2 for years (well, one year..) and I loved it! To answer the question, it did make me feel everything was safer because I'm always aware of where my phone is. I'm tempted to get one for my sgs.

Nice range of colours for a case and every man to his own but ...Credit cards together with your phone...really? By next year, I predict there will be a side pouch on tablets for a passport, drivers license and credit cards. Imagine forgetting that in the back of a cab!

useful for me as i do not intend to put a credit card in it, but my tap-to-pay flash card when taking public transport

That's specifically what this case was designed for. Octopus/Felica/etc. The "credit card" was someone making stuff up to try to sell it in places where contactless cards are not the norm.

Just to the point like for public transport in Holland and France they use NFC transport payment cards..
Still it does not matter people tend to level the phones, wallets , passport in public places on a daily bases. So stop going on about credit card in this case if you feel to put your credit cards in the so be it...
I have one of these. I use it to keep my business cards in. Also that means if I lose it the person who finds it has my contact details.
people who put credit cards in it though are grade A clowns though.
Could be very useful to put my ID card in that we have to touch against pads to open doors...
On the other hand, I like my phone naked
Thats quite cool, I'm looking for something similar to put my Oyster card in.
oyster card is a rfid card used to get thought barriers on London Underground.
I don't really see a problem with putting a credit card in it,I have more chance of losing the card on its own than loosing the phone with the card in it.
I thought of getting one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GADGET-SAMS...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324822612&sr=1-14 but I hate think having to open it to use the phone would piss me of quickly

i have been searching for something simular while in korea. i found this but it's a bit pricy
http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/TANGRAM-SMART-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG/404816819
it has as an extra that u don't have to remove the card in order to take pictures.
On the ebay auction from the OP it says that it might fit the AT&T version. Has anyone tried it on the i777? I'm very curious, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I could completely eliminate my wallet on most days. Its on sale for $2.99 for 2 more days, so I may just try it anyway.
I bought it for $3 to try on my AT&T S2. I'll let you know how it is whenever I get it.

I'd have to agree, going to get one for my oyster transport card as I always have my phone handy so it makes sense.
Also I've never lost or had my phone stolen in 10 years but I've lost credit cards (and wallets) in the past so for me it's probably a safer option!

[DUMP] G1 Blaze (G2 prototype)

Guessing that eMMC was partitioned in MLC mode on this one.
So, the differences are: black housing, secondary mic, AMOLED screen, 4GB of internal memory. Anything else?
And that would be an even more awesome device if HTC released it without these changes.

It's not a ROM. Read the thread title.
It's a DUMP from the G2 PROTOTYPE.
It contains all partitions' dump, including HBoot (v.0.55.2000 ENG, never seen before), Radio, System and all the other things.
And BTW I downloaded it and everything's fine for me.
Copied this file to my Dropbox as a mirror.
@OP: Can you provide some more photos of the device (or maybe side-by-side ones that you've talked about on IRC)? I'm VERY interested in PCB photos, but if you don't want to disassemble the phone, it's up to you

Much of the dump is wasted space, and the 2 nandroids are pretty much copies of the dump, so compress to insignificant space.

I don't see what makes you sad here...
1) this prototype has amoled POS display. SLCD > amoled.
2) Slow performing 4GB internal storage vs FAST performing 2GB. I'll take the faster anyday, since the device supports external add-on.
3) If by "8mb" you mean "8 MP", I don't see anything indicating such.
4) Ugly painted black plain prototype. Easy to scratch off paint and would quickly look like junk. They paint prototypes like that to make them nondescript.
What we have is basically *superior* to this prototype. The next step up is the HTC DOUBLESHOT.

[Q] New display but after 3 hours broke again

Hi to all, today besides it looks like Friday 13th. (my car broke down) I took after I dropped my HTC One X my phone from the service with a new display.
After 2 hours I have been called and saw that the display again is broken from the left side, near the usb towards the top, (power button) is a line and cracked.
I really don't know and paid much money today and to pay again?
Could this happen or should I blame myself?
I always take good care of the phone and always carry it in my side pocket which is wide enough...
Can anyone advice me what to do?
If you are 100% positive that the screen was intact when you got it out from the service, you should take it back and council with the person who serviced the phone. It there are no signs of physical abuse or anything, you should have some kind of warranty on the display or at least on the changing service.

thank u for the reply..the service will not give me a new one..but is the display so sensitive? i mean could it break by wrong installation?
Are you sure it was completely perfect at the service center? Did you inspect your phone whatever the screen was replaced correctly or there were any cracks from the beginning?
There's not much you can do over here... You can tell them what happened and ask for replacement but I'm not sure they will replace it for free...

as far as i could see the screen was ok...im not an expert in replacing but could it be by placing the screen wrong it could crack?

Thank you!! Great and I ordered a new display there and the price is much cheaper than the price offered here in Skopje, Macedonia.
But still 1 question how to recognize a clone from an original screen?
What I noticed is that the screen replaced on my phone is slight smaller as at the bottom part I can see the led light trough the house shining.
Also the left < is not shining while the home and > button is lighting.
The time before (when it has been replaced also) I had the same problem. At daytime its hard to notice but at night its very clear that only 2 buttons are lighting up.
Hahahahaha epic fail.......cough goo cough gle is cough your best friend.
here you can see my broken screen and the navigation button which is not lighting up
That has been the same case with the other replacement.
Also the crack is at the same position as the last one
I paid 100 euro for this one.

Anyway one more try..
My HTC One X broke now a couple of times and the last time it broke at the same space as before, again I did not drop it
At the bottom I can clearly see a small open space and the 3 navigation led light shining although the navigation arrow on the left (see attached picture) is not lighting up and at night it can't be seen.
The main reason for this topic to get more informed and to put a claim at the mobile phone service and to get my money back.
Also looking at Ebay for a screen replacement it looks like a jungle as all are claiming to sale original displays but again prices are from 45 - 150 euro's. Is there some way to recognize a none (clone) original screen from a original?
Again sorry for this chain of mine on this topic but i just wonder why twice my display cracked at the same place.
It's just a coincidence that the screen broke at exactly the same point...
By looking at what you've said... I think the screen might not have fitted correctly... Hence causing the led not to shine as brightly as it should... May be there is some gap left...
About the screen originality... It's really hard to determine... If you could send us the link of the part which you are buying.. Then someone might be able to judge it's authenticity..

Thank you very much your answer
I also think it was not placed on the correct way and than the issue of the left navigation without lighting up as it should.
And the cap.
I wrote to rounded.com but no reply from them.
Maybe if someone could take a look at Ebay in Europe and to advise me which one to buy?
Should I buy the whole thing again complete or just the glass?
Also can be in a PM here.
Again thanks for the help :good: :good: :good:
They say its easier to replace the touchpanel and the digitizer in one.....many people had trouble to disassemble the 2 components from each other !

Thanks, any place you can advise?
Listen, stop complaining that people aren't answering your questions. As Mr.Hoff has repeatedly tried to tell you, people have NO OBLIGATION to answer you, nor does it mean that because they're on XDA They know the answer to your questions. XDA is a priviledge, without XDA you probably wouldn't have a place to even ask your question.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
The difference between HTC Screen and a Generic Replacement screen is alot.
HTC Screen = LCD2 which is basically HD screen
Generic = LCD Screen with a much lesser resolution.
Also the part numbers are different, the only REAL way to tell whether you have the LCD2 screen or not.
However I cannot tell you the exact part number for a OEM HTC LCD2 Display.
Now stop ranting.

About to send my 2nd G4 back

First one I received during the pre order did not read SD Cards... after some inspection I saw that there was some damage to the SD Card slot.
I filed a claim with T Mobile and received a new device. This new one was able to read SD Cards, however in a side-by-side test with the original phone, the screen quality was absolutely horrible. Yellow tint on everything, most noticeably on the settings screen. 100% brightness looked more like 70. Holding both phones in hand, there is also a definite weight difference between the 2... the original with bad SD slot undoubtedly weighs more than the 2nd phone I received. Its not a mental thing, I've had 5 people blindly hold both and each one says the same thing.
WTF LG?? I'll make one more exchange before I move on the the S6
Had mine for over a week now with no issues (H815 EU).
Just plain bad luck on your part??

Agree. Way better than my Note 3. Hands-down the best phone I've owned. Maybe you're a statistical outlier?

Its possible, but 0 for 2 isnt a very good rate... Luckily the G4 is pretty easy to disassemble (an advantage, i guess?) so I swapped logic boards and now have what I consider a complete unit.

and the IMEI gets swapped as well since it's on the logic board right?

Did you happen to take any pictures of the dis-assembly? I don't need to take mine apart right now, but it'd be a useful reference!
