Blue line (again) - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody not have the blue line issue? Had anybody returned their device because of this and had a replacement that doesn't have this issue?

This has been discussed many, many times already. Most people seem to have the blue line, some report that they don't. It is so slight that I didn't detect it until I had the device for 2 weeks.
Personally, it's such a non-issue that I don't understand why people are discussing it. It doesn't detract from my use of the device at all. But if you think that the knowledge that your tab is not perfect is going to eat away at you and ruin your life, your best bet is to get some other tablet.
I haven't seen a lot of reports that people were able to replace one and get a new one without the blue line, so I think that you either live with it or you don't.

Screen Flicker issues: Possible Statement?

allright guys. After reading the whole thread i see this is truely crazy how much people have this probem. Yesterday i got my second one. And with my second one i have the same issues...I am pretty sure it is a software related issue:
OR
The phone's kernel is ****ed up (battery issues, bad voltage on screen)
OR
there is something wrong with the G-sensor:
Go to your screen settings, and on the bottom of the you can calibrate your G-sensor. When you do this, you see both of the green dots go insane like the screen do!
What do you think guys?
The green dots don't go insane on mine, just slightly up and down. I was waiting for something a little more interesting hehehe

Why? I'm just trying to make a statement on this problem. And try to solve this. Monday i get my third HTC One X. The first X, suffer from screen flickering, mostly on greyish fields the second one, has it too. Both HT23 devices. Both problems.
Personally i'm studying IT, so i only try to get a possible statement with the knowledge i have, and with the custom ROM flash knowledge i have during very very much flashings with my Galaxy S.
I'm just trying to get a possible solution. Is this software or hardware? I dont' know for sure. Maybe Paul O Brien can say something about this problem. I'm out of thoughts.
We don't know, some phones have it some don't. Nothing indicating any differences between phones that have it and phones that don't.
Difficult to tell at this stage. We need a brave soul to check for loose connections but I bet no one will tear their HOX apart to find out.
Knock on wood my second one has no screen strobing as of yet 1 day old so far.
Keep replacing until you get one that doesn't flicker is the only solution for the time being.

What we need is HTC to pull their finger out of their arse, and rip one apart that was sent back doa, and then tell us what it is, tbh they probably are doing this, but need more samples of the problem to be 100% sure of it

VZW GNex. Will getting a replacement fix this?

So I'm one of the unfortunate users that has the stupid mic muting issue. I've just been dealing with it and waiting to see if a update from vzw ends up fixing it. Well, it's been five months and still no update. I rooted my phone immediately after the first time I ran into the problem. I'm on the 4.0.4 radio now and it's still there.
So has anybody had luck switching out devices? It sucks because my screen is beautiful and the call muting issue is the only one I have. Should I go through the hassle of getting a replacement?
Edit* crap, can a mod move this to q/a.

I've never had this issue on my LTE GNex. I don't believe its a common issue. I would definitely get it replaced.
what exactly happens that mutes it, and for how long? does it happen when you are not holding the phone?
reason i ask, is the microphone is a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, and if you hold the phone like many do, with a finger underneath, even slightly blocking this hole will completely mute the microphone out.

To all Verizon Galaxy Nexus users who have no idea what issue we are talking about, read the following:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
It basically happens on full signal (with LTE and/or CDMA turned off and on), stationary or moving, under bluetooth + speaker + ear piece while physically holding the phone or not, makes our voice turn into a choppy robotic sound and we can hear them but the other party can't hear me.
Only resolution to this problem is hang up and call again.
There is a huge variation among devices, some has this issue as soon as 5 seconds into a phone call, some have it well into 15 mins or even 40 mins into a call. Some happens basically on every other call, some happens once in a bluemoon.
Yes, we've all tried every single ROMs and radios. And yes, we are not holding it wrong to cover our mic with our finger tips.
And yes, it is not user error because it happened to all 2 new gnex and 2 refurbished replacements STOCK without any apps on it. I got mine to happened on pretty much the entire state of california (I travel very frequently from SoCal to NorCal)
The only reason a few might not face this issue is simply because 1) either they picked the cream of the crop out of all these affected devices 2) not using the GNex as a phone as much as some of us do.
I simply do not use GNex for business purposes...
To OP, getting a replacement might help a little but no promises.
Man I'd have replaced it long ago. I would imagine it's hardware related or they would've pushed an OTA to fix it. I read somewhere that Verizon stated an update would be sent out that would fix it, but I'm not buying it.

Yeah I'm just scared to swap it out and receive one with a ****ty screen. Plus I have a invisible shield on here. And there's no guarantee it will be resolved. Has anyone had any luck with swapping them out? I really don't want to switch to a different phone. I've waited for a nexus device to hit verizon for so long.

Ya know, honestly, I'm not all that impressed with the phone. I've only had it a couple weeks, but it doesn't do anything better than the Epic 4G Touch that I came from. The E4GT was awesome, the Sprint network, not so much. The camera and battery life were just so much better and I'm struggling with that.

Gotcha Bro
FNM
I just got off the phone with VZW about this very issue. They said they have a release tentatively scheduled for May, but "tentatively" could end up being August. It's a known issue so, there's no workaround for it and getting a replacement probably won't help.
The only thing they could possibly offer is switching to another device altogether. Spec-wise, the Galaxy Nexus is at the top for me so I don't want another phone. (frustration)
Alas, depending on what's important to you, you may just be better off waiting for the update. :-(

I know it's kind of a old thread but wanted to update my experiences.
I am on my second replacement now and I'm sticking with it. I've had the issue maybe 3 times in the month I've had it. My first replacement had a terrible screen, crappy signal, and the muting issue happened just as frequently as before if not more.
I'm assuming this will never be spoken of by Samsung since we've already had the phone almost a year with no acknowledgement. I just hope the next nexus is a different manufacturer (HTC especially) since every Samsung phone I've had has had issues with the actual phone part. My first being the fascinate and now this. Especially since if I want to upgrade from now on ill end up paying full price.

I have had the same problem.
I've gone through 2 replacements and still the same issues have occurred. The update that was supposed to fix this was released in May and it fixed nothing. I called Verizon several times asking what will be done about this. Their answer is that another update will fix this. I frankly don't believe it.
Verizon also told me that Samsung is aware and they're "actively" working on a fix.
Being that I use this phone to make business calls, I can't have a phone that I can't depend on. Their answer: We can give you the RAZR. Not the RAZR Maxx - the RAZR.
I said that won't work because the RAZR doesn't compare to my phone as far as specs go. It's worth 200 less than my phone on their website.
The only phone that compares to mine is the Galaxy S3. Not to mention, I flat-out don't like the RAZR (or the RAZR Maxx). They said they couldn't give me the S3 because the phone was just released.
So, in short, I'm VERY upset with Verizon, because I don't feel like I'm being treated fairly. I'm willing to wait for this so called fix they will push out since my warranty is until December and they claim they'll get it right this time. But if this doesn't work....well, I feel sorry for whichever Customer Rep catches my evil side lol.
Yeah they are gonna get an earful tomorrow when I call. I've had the phone maybe 18 days and it didn't start this until day 11 and ever since its been non stop. I don't think any of us should suffer through calling 10-15 times per 30 minute conversation.

Exact same story they told me. I'm in my 5th device. 1st one camera broke completely and signal issues. 2nd one screen had a nasty yellow tint on half the screen. 3rd one had the worst screen I had ever seen. I wish I would have taken pictures to show. 4th one was great till the ear speaker completely went out and the speaker broke. 5th one that I currently have has a beautiful screen with no issues so far.

Serious camera issues...

Hi all,
I got my One X a few weeks ago, very soon after launch (O2). Initially I was very happy with my purchase but now I'm left extremely frustrated with this handset and regretting buying it - screen flicker, dropped calls, lots of little bugs, and now... The camera won't work!
I've been using it quite a bit since I bought it, but yesterday I was using it (no settings changed) and each time I took a picture there was either corruption in the image or a blank image with an exclamation mark icon instead of the picture. This now seems to happen almost every time I try to take a shot - I've done the following in an attempt to rectify:
1. Reboot handset
2. Ensured no other apps are running prior to using camera
3. Reset camera settings to default
4. Ensured phone was fully charged
5. Ensured I have enough free storage space (~22GB free)
I'm not going to perform a factory reset because I'm not convinced it's going to help anything AND I shouldn't really have to do that! I haven't got time to completely reconfigure my phone.
Still, I'm unable to take a photo and this is *really* annoying me! A premium handset with issues all over the place... Unacceptable!
Now I'm left thinking I'm going to go back to O2 and demand replacement with a SGS3, because by the looks of things HTC haven't actually fixed most of the bugs we're all experiencing.
Such a shame - had so much potential and a genuinely amazing device to pick up and use in many ways, but it's quite frankly not fit for purpose if I can't make reliable calls, take pictures or use the screen without serious flickering.
Has anyone else experienced these camera issues I described above?
Apologies for the tl;dr, just a very frustrated HOX owner.
So because you got a faulty phone all the others out there are not fit for purpose?
OK got ya that seems fair
There's something wrong with your particular phone, just get it replaced. The vast majority of people have no flaws whatsoever.
Lol... They won't offer a refund until you do a factory reset. I guarantee a factory reset will fix the problem. Stop having a cry are you 12 or something.

Oh the irony of a childish response like that. That's how keyboard warriors really show their age.
For the record no, I'm significantly older and understandably annoyed by the poor quality of a ~£500 handset that I worked hard to pay for.
And as for the vast majority of people having no flaws - really?! I don't believe that for a second - by the looks of most of the boards a high proportion of HOX handsets have issues.
So yeah, I'm quite understandably frustrated - didn't realise how defensive this forum is lol

Yes really. It'd be incredibly foolish to assume that XDA users are representative of the majority of phone users and even more foolish to assume that people who have flawless phones will be just as vociferous as those with flawed phones.

Why don't you try and reflash your phone with a RUU or return it for replacement?
Well that's what I've done - just booked it in with O2 so will see what happens.
Still interested to know whether anyone has had this camera issue though?

No just no. A high proportion of XDA USERS' HOX's have problems. Maybe because most have noticed a problem and have done a google search to find xda as one of the first links. They sign up and vote/make a topic about their problem, now to you and the rest of us it looks like most of the handsets are suffering from some sort of problem.
Most take this on board without looking at the big picture, those normal run of the mill users that don't have any use for xda, don't post about problems because they don't have any.
Stop being so closed minded xda is not the be all and end all of android. There are users out there that have never herd of xda or even ics.
It's pointless complaining here with such an aggressive attitude just do the factory reset and be done with it atleast if you do it now you'll be able to backup your apps via abd/fastboot.
IMHO your just childish, you need to suck it up and stop being such a girl.

Right, so how about the fact that I've actually read a variety of other forums including some of the operators' own too? You have ASSUMED that I have only looked at XDA.
Aggressive?! Childish?! I think you're reading into things too much here... What part of "man pays relatively large sum for device and is disappointed by its many flaws" do you not get?
Anyway, this is boring me; I guess I'll never know if anyone else actually has the same camera issues...
Lol you still don't get it. Some people just do not know about forums. Unless you get a number from HTC that states how many returns per device made. Nobody, not you or me will know. Not reading anything other than what's on my screen. I'm defensive, by logic you're aggressive.
I guess you won't. Everyone else just ran a factory reset instead of crying about it.
Anyway like most of the threads on here its no longer about the op's post and more about the ego of the people posting. I'll admit I am at fault sorry if I derailed your thread..

Adamsharif;
You do seem to have a phone that, under UK law does not appear to be fit for the purpose for which it is intended, regardless of the warranty obligations of HTC.
In reality, you should back everything up and factory reset the phone, if only to rule out any problems which could be solved, by doing this. If then, the phone does not work, you are well within your rights to demand a refund or a replacement.
If you're not willing to do a simple reset to fix potential issue, HTC and the users here are definitely not going to be willing to help you out. We can't reset the phone for you, but you still want to fix it by using and looking at the phone until it behaves itself.

Here you go, proof that the majority of XDA members have no issues whatsoever with their device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082
Of course, people with no problems don't post much on forums, so the actual, real-world results of such a poll would be MUCH more one-sided.
As for your camera problem, many people have suggested fixes; Factory Reset, re-flashing RUU and, if all else fails, return the device and get a refund/replacement.
People seem to think their £500 device is going to be perfect. Don't get me wrong, It SHOULD be perfect, but no device is ever going to be. The HTC One X issues are also relatively minor compared to some devices that came before it.

Ok, I guess I shouldn't have been so stubborn - currently backing up the device and will do a factory reset.
The backlight issue, however, is the one I'm returning for - the thing I find strange about both that and the camera issue is that they suddenly appear which really makes me feel that there are hardware issues in the first batch.
Lesson learned - don't buy a handset as soon as it comes out!
Personally I feel that mobile manufacturers need to undertake better testing and not rush their products to market - if you look at many of the recent handsets from Apple, Samsung, HTC there have been a lot of silly issues which have damaged reputations.
If I can have a HOX with working camera, backlight and calling it will be the perfect device!
You don't want to change your phone and yet you can't live with the problems. What do you want? Just ranting? Got it.

ALL THE CORRUPTION ISSUES EXCEPT FLICKER are solved by firmware 1.29
My new hox was updated to 1.29 two days after I bought it, I never encountered the said issues, also flicker is related to overheat on 1.29 the phone temperature is a lot better
you regret buying the most praised and critically acclaimed android phone lol
I think we're being a little harsh on adamsharif, I love my HOX but its not without it's flaws and some of the 1.26 bugs were just messy...the phone shouldn't have been released with this firmware...it was rushed but I can understand why with the SG3 looming!
Unfortunately the average user turns to a forum when he / she has issues, the average user doesn't sign up to XDA to just say how happy they are, some do, just not your average joe, so it all looks like doom & gloom!
£500 is a lot of money, should we have to factory reset it after a few days / weeks? Should we not expect a near perfect product considering the money spent....I don't know....android isnt a perfect OS so I think the arsehole answer is get an iPhone!? I think in 3 months time we'll all be happier and mostly problem free!

Guys please stop the pointless comments.
Back on topic. I suggest you try a third party camera app from market and see if that works. If it works, i too believe that hard reset will solve the problem. Also, don't underestimate hard reset. It usually solves most unknown issues

burn in?

Hello,
I've been googling for days in order to avoid a repost out of respect for the community and to avoid redundancy, but my searches have yielded inconclusive results, with varying answers. Additionally, I couldn't find one in this particular subsection of the forum.
My problem stemmed from using Cyanogenmod while the screen is hot. I was texting on maximum brightness while also downloading several files so the entire AOSP messaging app got imprinted on the screen. The keyboard is faint but noticeable. I had a samsung epic 4g before this with similar problems that went away after I completely stopped usage and turned in on one day. The one on my old Galaxy SI was much more severe and visible from reasonable distance. This one is faint but enough to bother me.
Some searches said the handful screen burn in fix will help, other threads say I should just replace my device (I hope not to go through the hassle of that one) and others say that I should leave a white screen on and a few other searches say that such problems do not exist.
If this is a repost I apologize. All help appreciated.
First, have you shut the device off and let it cool down? If not, that could fix the issue. If that doesn't fix the issue, download LCD Test from the market, set it on the white screen, making sure that you keep the backlight on, and let that run for several hours. Sounds like a pain, but it can potentially fix the issue. There are other methods, but try these two first and if they don't work, let me know and we can try something else.

Never had that issue or seen a phone with that issue. never even had anyone come into the Tmo store I work at with that issue. Sounds to me that if you have had it on your past 3-4 phones maybe you should look at adjusting the way your using them.
As far as fixing it. Do the white screen thing or get it replaced

That's odd since this is a fairly common issue among those who use AOSP keyboard. To be frank I had my ex's name burn in on the screen as well because we messaged so much. Poetic justice perhaps.
I have successfully returned the phone and gotten a new titanium grey one. Thank you both.

Loose frame, random reboots, screen issues, camera failure and screen flickers

Hello about a month ago I purchased two of these devices one was for my friend one was for me. Mine had a loose frame that when you would push slightly on the bezel near the volume button you can hear it goin in and creaking as if it was not solid. I compared to the other device I bought and with other s4s and it felt more solid than mine so I changed for another. My girlfriends on the other hand lives in New York and she bought one on her own terms from a store I purchased mine through online. My exchanged device came in and with a purple tint on bottom half.of screen its slight and noticeable on grey backgrounds while brightness is low. My phone also randomly rebooted once and has had multiple camera failures..it seems to have gone away tho for me. On the other hand my girlfriend has now exchanged her phone once because it was rebooting constantly and having other problems and now the phone that they gave her for a replacement has tons of random reboots while doing pretty much anything it's very random I have been on the phone with her and it suddenly rebooted on her causing our call to end. She is also complaining about camera failure and reboots aren't seeming to fix it.. As it comes back and anytime she switches to front camera..so pretty much all of our devices have issues and even the exchanged ones do too. And they were purchased in diff states and one in store the other online. I have had every galaxy phone since the s2 including the note series and I have never experienced so many problems out of the box and I was an early adopter for all the other devices. I converted my girlfriend from the iPhone to this phone and now all she is having problems and is getting frustrated because she says that she's been in important calls and her phone has just rebooted for no reason amongst other problem she is facing. Her first device didn't have the camera failure and neither did my first device but now both of our exchange devices are giving us, failures.. Not really sure what to do I'm already out of buyers remorse I feel like calling to mobile to get yet another one but not sure if it will give it to me.. I'm a huge fan of samsung galaxy 9 but this phone has more issues than I thought and they are real issues this isnt just lag were complaining about or that thephone isnt quick enough or something dumb these are real problems. while on my vacation I had to deal with random camera failures..my gf with tons of reboots and camera fails.. These are issues that now make you go out of your way for the phone instead of the phone making itself go out of the way for yourself. It's honestly unacceptable.. So I want to know how many people with the T Mobile version: have experienced any of this. Take off the battery of the phone and just press around the plastic frame and see if you hear any pops like mine did.. Or has anybody had continuous camera failure whether resolved or not has it happened.. Random reboots to? I am aware that a new kernel or rom could fix this problem but my girlfriend lives in New York and she doesn't have the time to do this or knowledge and really shouldn't have to. So it's been at least four of these devices that have had issues from purple tint to loose frame to reboot to camera failure...really disappointing. Will T-Mobile send me a new one even out of buyers remorse?? I love this phone and so does my girl but we like using our cameras everyday and can't deal with these other apparent issues...what to do?
O forgot to mention that the phone flickers the screen while hit by Sunlight.. While keyboard is up and in white backgrounds as well as using the camera.. Screen looks like its blinking really fast..I know this issue is in ALL s4s but thought I'd throw it in to another set of problems... This one I can deal with though..reboots and camera failure?? Can't deal with that
These issues I've experienced personally and I'm speaking of my experiences only I don't make up stuff or use other members issues to add to mine. Those issues are present for me and my girl and we have now exchanged our phones twice.. We would be getting our 3rd s4 if we exchange again.

I don't have any.. But either way I shouldn't have to use insurance for this is how it is out of the box.. No root no mods just purely stock..

But this has happened on all of my devices so I'm starting to think that it's an issue with everyone because I didn't get any of these problems till about 3 weeks into having the phone and I haven't dropped it or anything not even flashing rooting
