HTC One X Problems Roundup
HTC One X was one of the best smartphones of 2012 (at least from the features perspective). It has a clean and fashionable design, audio by Beats technology, a 4.7 Super LCD2 display with a pixel density of 312 and a resolution of 720x1280. Ive had this smartphone for a while and I must admit: if you go past the problems I will talk about in this article, its an exceptional phone. The display produces amazing images, it features a sound technology like no other, I really loved the 8MP photo camera and the video recording was amazing. But...
The Display
The first thing you notice about a smartphone is its display. Although the One X features an amazing display on paper, it comes with many problems. First, you can experience discoloration of the screen if you press the digitizer too hard. Even more, the discoloration can appear even if you dont press the screen at all. My phone was dropped on the floor from 0.7 - 1 meter. Ever since, I noticed a yellow tint in the left bottom corner. It was not too big, but it was damn annoying, especially on white background. Ive had many phones in my lifetime, and most of them got dropped on the floor sooner or later. But none reacted like this. And you dont want to know the biggest problem about the HTC One X display... If your device is out of warranty and you plan to change the display, you will never find a spare part that will match perfectly. Most of those spare displays are not even LCD2. So if you have a One X, take big care of it.
The Wifi
This problem does not appear on all HTC One X models, but when it does its a mood breaker. You will never get full signal on your One X WiFi indicator, even if you stand at 1 meter from the router. Why? Well, the quad-core version has a problem with the WiFi antenna, making almost impossible to see any WiFi networks without pressing the backside of the phone. By pressing, you will make the antenna touch to the connector and rebuild the circuit. But this happens as long as you press the back of the phone. Thats stupid, right? The fix for this is pretty simple, once you open the display (I strongly advice you not to try it by yourself, because you will damage the screen).
The Heat
If you own a HTC One X you know what Im talking about. It heats like crazy once you use it for more than reading your mails. I was not able to find a fix for this problem, and I do think its a hardware problem.
The 3G Signal
The One X automatically switch from HSDPA to 3G when the signal is low, making the battery drain faster. And if we are on this subject...
The Battery
I have not used the Samsung Galaxy S3, but the battery on HTC One X drains like crazy. I have never managed to use it via 3G for more than 2 hours. Maybe thats normal, but I got way better battery time on my N8, also on my iPhone 4.
The Sound
As I said in the beginning, the video quality when you record a video its amazing. But the audio for that video is terrible. I have no words to describe the poor quality of audio recording. Its trash, just trash. I was really disappointed by this, because I really loved the camera on One X. Until now, there is no fix for it. The sound via headphones is great, but the speaker is not that great either. Although it features Beats Technology, my old iPhone 4 had better speaker sound than One X.
The charging time
You know what I hate more than a poor battery? A slow charging time. The first time I got my hands on One X, I got the battery down to zero in no time. I thought to myself: "Ill just plug it in my USB port and it will charge in no time while Ill play with it some more". After 20 minutes, my phone was still drained. The problem? The One X charges better when connected to electric socket, and not via USB. If you plan to charge it via USB, it will take a lot of time and you better forget it.
Other HTC One X problems
These problems were not encountered by me, but Ive read about them on various forums. Sometimes, the screen acts crazy, showing random errors. Another problem encountered by users is not waking up when pressing the Power button. Other users experienced freezes when the phone was used for a long period of time.

Troubleshooting Bose Bluetooth Problems
The Bose Bluetooth headset lets users enjoy crystal clear phone conversations without having to hold their cell phone up to their ear. You can also stream audio from compatible devices to the headset. Common problems with the Bose Bluetooth headset include the headset cutting out, problems pairing the device with a phone, bad audio quality and more. Use troubleshooting to try fixing these problems on your own before contacting Bose support.

Short Talk Time
- The headset may have a minimal charge. Try connecting the USB cable that charges the Bose Bluetooth headset in to the headset. Push the cable firmly into the connector on the headset and the USB port on the computer.
- Make sure the USB port the charging cable is connected to on your computer is powered. The easiest way to resolve this is to disconnect all other USB devices connected to the computer, restart the computer and then try charging the headset through the same USB port again. If that doesnt work, try charging the Bose Bluetooth headset through a different USB port.
- If youre trying to charge the headset in a room with either extremely hot or extremely cold conditions, and try charging the device in a room with a more average temperature.
Headset Doesnt Pair
- Ensure that the Bluetooth functionality is enabled on the phone youre trying to pair the Bose Bluetooth headset with. Even if youre following the pairing instructions perfectly, you wont be able to pair the two devices if Bluetooth functionality isnt enabled on the phone. This can often be done within your phones Settings menu.
- Try moving the Bose Bluetooth headset and the phone youre trying to pair it with closer together and then try pairing the devices again. Do the following to pair the two devices:
- Power the headset down and wait for five seconds.
- Power the headset back on.
- Hold down the "Call" button on the headset for roughly five seconds. This makes it possible for the two devices to find each other.
- Continue holding the devices within a few feet of each other for at least one minute.
- After one minute passes, restart both devices and try using the Bose bluetooth headset with the phone you attempted to pair it with.
Poor Audio Quality
- Adjust the volume on the Bose Bluetooth headset. Sometimes, if the volume is either too low or too high, the audio can become distorted.
- The issue may have nothing to do with either your Bluetooth headset or your phone, but rather it may be the result of a poor reception. Try moving to a different area where youre pulling in a stronger reception to see if the audio quality improves.
- Remove the tip from the end of the microphones earpiece to expose a metal covering. Clean the metal covering off using a clean, dry cloth. Try using the headset again to see if the issue is resolved.
Streaming Audio Problems
- Check the specs for the phone or device that youre trying to stream audio from to your Bose Bluetooth headset to ensure that it supports A2DP streaming. If it doesnt, this is likely the cause of your problems.
- Check that the source your streaming the audio from is actually playing. If you synced up the two devices while audio was playing, the audio may have paused.
- Position yourself closer to the source youre trying to stream audio from, ideally within a few feet, but definitely not more than 33 feet.
- Try restarting your Bose Bluetooth headset and the device youre streaming from. Sometimes, issues with streaming audio over the Bluetooth headset can sometimes result from a glitch with either of the devices.
