the gaps between the optical pad and the menu button (left) and the back button (right) are equal on my device.
Not sure I know what you mean
There seems to be a little gap between actual trackpad button and the edge of the hole it sits in. If I am thinking the same way you are, look at the pictures -

Now I don't think it is a factory defect because mine doesn't sit "right in the middle".
Yeah, one of the first things I noticed. *shrugs*

Thank goodness I am not the only one
Also...now that I am thinking about it, couldn't people living in the U.S. now get some sort of warranty help through HTC U.S.A.? Since U.S. Cellular is going to be carrying the Desire, it would only make sense that the United States division of HTC could possibly offer some sort of warranty help
(I remember reading through the white warranty booklet that came with my Desire, and it said that HTC offers a 2 year warranty)
No gap on my Desire.... :/
Obviously this is down to manufacturing tolerances, if you make sure you always push it slightly to the left when ever you "click" It'll probably be central after a couple of weeks
Mine is in the middle too. Tolerances....
my one got a gap too.
but I hardly ever use the optical trackpad other than taking picture so don't bother me much.
I think its bcoz of the chin design the button is a bit misaligned.
Got no gap here, i'd think its manufacturing tolerance to.
Mines got a slight gap on the left as well, seen two other Desires which have the same, no biggie really, it still works fine and is only ever really noticeable when in a dark place and the backlight is on.
my optical has now malfunctioned see my other post

I just got my Desire Z (and I'm loving it)
The hinges are lose, like what seems to be almost everyone elses. It doesn't bother me too much at the moment as I don't hold my phone in stupid positions (although a bit worried about what will happen over time), but anyway...
I've noticed my phone only has 1 set of hinges (one on each side) and a little ribbon connector type thing, but on Youtube videos people seem to have 2 sets of hinges (2 on each side)
Is this a Desire Z/G2 type of thing, or is one a newer version or something?
Also, can I send it back to who I got it from (Dial-a-phone) and get a brand new replacement, or will I (or DAP) need to send it off to HTC to repair?
Anyone sent theirs back, and how long did it take to get it back?

The top hinge on the ear piece side should have a single one-arm hinge and the bottom side near track pad side should have a single two-arm hinge with a display ribbon closer to the top arm in the middle. Thats how all the phones come.

I bought mine from Radio Shack and returned it thru Tmobile for a warranty replacement, so if its for warranty try who you bought if from. If they wont do a warranty replacement im sure Tmobile will do any warranty replacement for you. But if your returning it because you dont want it anymore you probably need to go thru who you bought it from.
I recently realized that the glass on the screen is coming off slightly from the top left corner. I never drooped the phone it never got a hit no nothing.
Any one noticed something similar ?

Can you get a picture?
Well I tried but its quite hard.
The glass is supposed to be onside the chassis and well it is for the 70% of the phone.
But half of the right side and especially the right top corner, you can feel it is off by a bit, and when you press slightly it goes in where its supposed to but doesnt stay there.
It is as if the adhesive of the glass isnt holding on the corner any more.

I would bring that back to where you bought it, fire it across the counter and request a new one! It's obviously a faulty built one.

Who started THIS vile trend of replying with "This." Is it cool or something? I dunno, just figured I'd try it out. Will report back on my findings.
Been more than a month that i bought it.
And can't demand an exchange, got a friend buy it in UK and bring it over here. No way to take it back to UK for a while.
Was just wondering if it happened to someone else, or if someone had any recommendations about what ppssibly could cause this or how i could possibly fix it.
It's been perfectly normal for weeks ;(

Are you positive it didn't get exposure to excessive pressure? That is the only logical way the glass would start to "pop" out! It's a strange one, never heard anything on these forums that is similar.
Yeah I am pretty positive, I baby my phones, my nexus one is still without a scratch.
That is why I felt the need to create a topic, since I never heard of something similar on any of the phones I owned/followed.

the bottom left of my phone started making a weird clicking noise every time I squeezed it, then I looked at it and the glass was coming off just a tad, I went back to the store and 5 of them that came out were doing the same thing, try your self, squeeze the bottom left of your phone.

It should have a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defect. If there are no marks on it from a drop, they should replace that no questions asked. If the retailer wont take it, call Samsung.
Are you sure you don't mean the bottom right?
That corner actually is a tad higher than the other corners.
Nope my issue is on top left.
The international warranty doesnt include exchanges. If there is a manufacturing defect then the device should be sent to the country that it is bought in.
At least that is what the warranty card in tge box says.

Hi,
I had similar issue but located in the bottom-right corner of the phone. What I did was a bit risky but I just pressed the glass into the chassis a few times and it went in place. After this it looked perfect. Of course I can't guarantee the result, this is how I made it, of course this is not a professional way to repair things like that .
This is another time I have to write that something wrong is happening with Samsung's quality control. Quantity over quality, definitely. This is not an isolated case, I have read other posts where people were complaining about this, out-of-center camera sensor placement, clicks from the speaker, bad screen etc, not to mention the famous volume rocker bug. When you buy a phone for $700 you at least demand no obvious, visible defects.
I'm also having this issue on my phone, except that the screen is coming off on the left bottom part of the phone.
This was a replacement phone for the first one that was exchanged as DOA because of screen discoloration.
Went to the shop today and the sales rep was giving me attitude ("are you sure it isn't supposed to be like that?") and told me to return on Monday when the manager was there. Have to say I'm not really feeling the charm of Nexus at this point anymore. The iPhone might be fragile and limited, but at least the production quality is top notch...

Have you ever gone to any iphone forums and read problems iphone users have with hardware or software? Stuff happens with anything electronic that is mass produced. Every now and then you will have something that is not like it should be.
Let's not turn this into an iPhone vs Android battle =p
Each phone is graeat, for the ones that love them, each have flaws each have great parts.
Anyways, it appears that this is not an uncommon problem, and I think it is unlikely it will be causing much of a problem in the long term.
I'm pretty positive that the problem is caused by the adhesive holding the glass, not powerful enough, or not put enough at certain areas to hold on to it after a while.
It's not like, it's making the phone unfunctional or anything. I was wondering if it was only me having the problem, and appears not.
This is the 3rd Nexus phone Google had a say in, and all 3 had huge flaws somehow, which is tragic. Maybe G, should be more careful with choosing it's partners =)

Is that how its supposed to be ? My bottom right corner is higher than the benzel, all other corners are a hair below(if looking at in portrait). Being 4 days old planning on going to store to get replacement, seems this would affect a screen protector that i havent installed yet..
When I press my HOX screen at some pressure at the bottom it gives some color inside. Whether this is a problem?

Put some pressure on your monitor (Providing it's an LCD or similar). What do you see?
Why are you pressing a capacitive screen in the first place??
This is a problem, the glas should never touch the lcd.
And why press capacitive touchscreen? While playing games and caught up in the action? Since it is a tegra3 phone, chances are big
Just did a test . Whether the phone can withhold pressure inside the tight jeans and under the pillow while sleeping.

just noticed that mine now as well has that creak on the left hand side..basically when i press the left hand side i can feel it not being in the right place and it makes a noise when i push it down..right side is fine. spoken with my carrier and they said they can not replace it they need to send it to get worked on...and then once i send it they get a quotation of £20 and if i accept then they will try and fix it..i declned that and said you must be joking. spoke to HTC and they said they can not replace it but send it in for repairs..i do not mind that as long as they do not charge me..but they said the carrier should replace it if i am getting dust under the screen...here is hoping..dissappointed..as i really like this phone and already spend like few bucks getting cases for this phone S3 looks more and more appealing now...

And if you don't think it too is going to have its own set of anomalies and QC issues you're a tad naive. Go check out the GN forum, it's the last phone Samsung released. It's a great phone but far from perfect. As is the One X. And as will be the SGS3.

s2 came out never had any issues with that Barry mate. Look i do not want to turn this into a flame war..We both know how it was last week. Nah after clearing my head now i have two options.
One i am waiting an answer from HTC till tomorrow afternoon they said whether they will replace it for me or send it for repairs. If they say they will replace it i have a winner. If they say they will send it for repairs then i will go with my network provider. At least if they fix it i know i shall not have the issues as it will come back brand new.
And the good thing i am covered by warranty as it is the stupid flex issue that everyone is facing..Damn thing creaks like hell when you press on it

I had one of the first SGS2's sold in the UK. It was a train wreck. Here's a list of issues I can remember:
1) Devices overheating to the point they shut down
2) Huge color temperature variations in the displays
3) Wireless (both Wi-Fi and 3G) that was so screwed up Samsung was pushing out updates weekly
4) Fingerprints on the inside of the display
5) USB ports that released and got pushed up in to the phone
6) Flashing covering the camera lens from inside
7) Light showing through from the edges of the bezel
8) Bad headphone jacks
If you had one at launch you have either short or selective memory. After about two months all the QC issues went away and we all know how great a phone the SGS2 ended up being. I kept mine for eleven months; the longest I've ever kept a phone. The point being, no phone is immune from issues especially when they first come out.

If you think about it, the devices we're buying today are about 1000% more complicated than just two years ago. A lot more advanced crap is being pushed in to a smaller space. At the same time, what we're willing to pay at the high-end is kind of fixed so the manufacturers have to juggle all of that while putting out phones at twice the frequency. My biggest ***** with all of them is the obvious lack of testing that takes place. I can forgive some of the QC issues (provided they go away eventually) but the flickering thing is kind of hard to overlook. As was the GN 2G radio problem. Alas, I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. It'll be interesting to see how Samsung fares with the SGS3. People's expectations are so high I think it'll be hard to meet them.

Spot on mate spot on. What would you advise to do mate? I mean phone is fully functional and nothing wrong with it. It is just that gap on the left hand side which is not really visible unless you really look at it and then when you press hard on the left you can feel the phone creaking and trying to adjust the shell to get in place.
I read about screem gap but i was unsure what exactly was meant. I just took a closer look and found out that there is a tiny gap between my screen and phone on top in which dirt fills in and it pisses me off. I havent dropped my screen once and if i push the top left part of my phone i can hear a sort of "click".does that make my phone faulty? Im really annoyed vy the dirt that fills in... Apart from rhat phone has no problems.

send it back. that is what i am doing. left hand side of the phone between the screen and the plastic you can see dust getting inside there to. plus if you press the left hand side tad hard you can hear it creaking as well. i called HTC to see if they could replace it for me straight away without sending it for repairs..waiting for an outcome tomorrow...if they say no i will just send it for repairs and hope they find the problem and either fix it or replace it then...i know it will drag for a week but at least that way you know one way or the other it will get fixed...
i was going to say if it does not bug you then leave it..but you sound just like me that even though the phone works fine it will bug you cause you know it is there
should i go to my provider or directly cpntact htc? And just to understand it better. Gaps are not supposed to be there, am i right?

It amazes me some of the reasons people will find to return an otherwise perfect handset. Considering the amount of serious problems floating about this phone, I don't think a creak or 1mm gap between the bezel and screen constitutes a return. Get over it and enjoy the phone.

Ive heard that the one x was made in 2 different countrys taiwan and china... china being the worst built ones buttt I must have a really faulty dhd. I've had it for 10 months now and my screen moves, doesn't fit right on the phone as there should be a lip round it but isn't my speaker isn't straight so is sloping. Looks like the cnc machine hasn't cut it right. Power button is really recessed too far in..... I think a little sqweek is nothing to really worry about if the screen falls out then ya I'd send it back.

well that is what worries me about the whole damn thing..if it gets to hot to soon and in two months down the line the screen actually does fall out
TBH ive just checked mine and it does have a slight gap with lint building up already (bare in mind ive had this phone 2 days) Also have the yellow blotch on the screen AND a dead pixel. This is by far the best phone ive ever owned...But my word these little niggles are grating on my moobs! Ive never had to send a phone off to a repair centre before but im not really willing to put up with the problems the phone has (however ridiculously small they seem to some ) You expect some software issues in an early batch, but dead pixels, discoloured screens, gaps occuring out of nowhere between the screen, its a bit much really! Im gunna have to get it sent off soon i think, gutted!

Do you even realize how big 1mm is?!!!! Get a ruler and see please....
I doubt even a blind person could enjoy a phone with a gap big as that. You would not just see this, but also feel.
I have a gap that's about 0,1-2 mm big (measuring with paper, which is about that in average I think 0,1 till 0,3 I think but also not sure) and its around the whole screen on both sides of the ring.
Ugh...1mm...
But seriously guys, how big are the gaps it makes you return it?
I mean should I return it with 0,1 mm ? (maybe less) seen a bigger gap on SGS 2.
Anyone else have a problem with the screen not being assembled correctly?
If I swipe down from the top left for notifications, it's smooth going from the metal to the glass. But if I swipe down from the top right to do the quick settings, there's a noticeable gap. Or not really gap, but the screen sits higher than the metal. Friggin annoying as hell, considering how much I go to the quick settings. This and the notification light not working are already making me reconsider buying this thing....
I had that issue and T-Mobile gave me a new one. Manufacturered 4/9. I've yet tried to S-OFF.

I've returned two to T-Mobile for the same problem and a few other issues. The 3rd one I got is much better, still not 100%, but it's fine... At this early point in the game, I'm starting to think that you have to be super lucky to get one that is perfectly smooth and flush.
I have seen some people say that a screen protector will solve the problem or at least make it better, could always try that.
I know that with every first batch or so of a new device, there will be some duds... but man, seems more people than usual having issues related to build quality on this phone. It's an expensive device and HTC is marketing it as a "premium" device - if you're not happy with the build, by all means, go exchange it.
mine had the same problem. I did exchange it for a new one it's a little better. but now I know why samsung don't want to make a metal device.
Wow, I wonder how many people have this problem...
Like @aimfire72 said, with this being touted as a premium device with the whole "zero gap" design, you'd expect it to be assembled a little better... I'll probably be taking it back to T-Mobile tomorrow and hopefully the one I get is better.
I feel like I have been lucky. I have had no issues with the screen or speakers.

My speaker grills are maybe MAYBE a human hairs width higher than the screen. We wound up with 4 lines, and all got the m8, and some of the other ones have more noticeable differences in height, but none of the other people using them have said anything, and I don't think they really care. I think that's something we often lose sight of, is that for most people that's just something they don't even think of. Sure, it would be nice if it was perfect on every device, but as long as it's within tolerance and the grills aren't popping up like some people have had, most people won't probably notice or care.
In any case, compared to my M7, the height difference is MUCH improved. My screen was decently higher than the top speaker grill, and that annoyed me as I always felt it when I swiped down the notification bar, but I got used to it and with a screen protector it just blended in to that bump.
