Try removing the SIM tray and blowing the compartment out with canned compressed air. That's worked for me. You may have to repeat that cleaning again in a few months as, I'm thinking, the SIM tray tends to collect dust. Remember that the SIM compartments in most handsets are located in a...

If your handset is unlocked, perhaps you simply have a bad SIM. You can also try removing the SIM and carefully spraying compressed air into the slot. Last Fall, I had a similar problem with my HOX (locked, AT&T, stock), where the phone would not detect the SIM. I had AT&T replace the SIM and...

In regards to the paid-widgets-not-loading-at-boot issue, you would not experience this problem if you either used free widgets or checked the "fast boot" option. It really does seem to take forever for these updates. I remember the thread on the AT&T forum regarding the update to 4.1.1. There...

I've had the 4.2.2 update since the day it went live. (I used the "set-the-date-ahead" method to accelerate the update without a hitch.) I don't bother with the Blinkfeed option, preferring to use the standard home screen instead. Now, the big improvements I've experienced are twofold. Firstly...

Did this behavior change with the update to 4.2.2? I've noticed the same thing with my HOX since updating on Wednesday night.

It's possible parts of your screen are dead to the touch. I had a similar problem with my HOX about six months ago. I confirmed the problem using an app called "Screen Touch Test". After installation, I booted the phone in safe mode to eliminate possible interaction with any app, and ran the...

I would be highly skeptical! Firstly, you can't put 7 gallons of water in a 5 gallon pail. Extra capacity batteries have always been physically larger than the standard versions. Secondly, I'd be wary of that low price. (Think meltdown in your pocket.) Thirdly, just check the use of the English...

Is your handset new, refurb, or used? If it's under warranty, just return it for an exchange. My One X display has an occasional tendency to "mess up" and looks like a 1950's TV with vertical hold problems. But that only occurs for a brief second before the screen returns to normal.

I had a strange occurrence with my One X last evening. It was in my pocket with the screen locked as I was out mowing my lawn. When I took it out to check for calls, I found the "HTC Media Link HD setup" video playing. Strange enough. But, it gets even stranger! I backed out of the video and...

I've been keeping my screen brightness at 50% on a continual basis. The only time I have a problem with that is outdoors in sunlight. Other than that, I've grown accustomed to that level. Also, with a new phone, all of your settings, syncing etc., are at their default levels. It will take some...

Did you purchase this phone new, or used? Secondly, were you performing the tasks you say you were for two hours continuously? If not, your battery life really does suck! That said, as ledfrog suggests, there are so many variables involved that it's a challenge to find an exact solution to your...

I've received my warranty replacement handset, and I now have no problems with the touch response anywhere on the screen.

As a temporary work-around to unlock your screen, you can move any one of the lock screen shortcuts into the ring. At least, that should unlock your phone. Then, go into "personalize" options, "lock screen style", and select "no lock screen". I have the same issue as you, and found that on my...
