It's not major, but the power button is slanted forward and does not sit parallel with the device (eg the back of the button protrudes an extra few mm more than the front). Is this the same for everyone's?

Your rear case doesn't look like its on fully, push it on till it clicks in place and then the power button should sit flush. If it doesn't the more then likely its busted, phone who ever you got it from and ask for a replacement.

shame on you posting them on xda as well

Even my phone has the power button protruding a bit off the phone's curve. Guess its normal is what i can say.

Thanks everyone. ('cept you Lenny, you've already had your thanks over where the cool folks live )
In the end, I checked the HTC Desires in my store today, and they're different. Back to Phones4U it goes. Replacement soon though, woo.

Connector magician

ok, first off all, i've been a naughty boy.
when my screen broke (read digitizer) i've opened my mda compact.
nothing new to me, because i opened all my phones to clean them once in a while.
the reason i'm doing that is because i'm working with steel, so bits of steel always stick to the magnets in the phone, the speaker, and mic.
when i opened my mda, i had to loosen the connector wich goes to my display.
and thats where all went wrong.
i was used in pulling the black thingies, in the direction of the cables, but this one i had to lift UP instead of pulling it.
you all know what happend after i pulled.(for those who dont. I BROKE THE BLACK THINGIE)
but the digitizer is already on its way from hongkong, coz it was only 15 euro's (excl transport) instead of the 189 euro's they would let me pay in holland for a complete lcd replacement.
now i'm desperatly seeking the connector wich is highlighted in the next foto.

Like i see it, it's not normal.
I would sent it back.
That does not look normal at all. The second picture seems to show a hole more than a gap. Maybe its misaligned? Either case, I think you should get a replacement.
Not normal at all. I would send it back for a replacement.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Not normal. Looks like when they machined it they got a little carried away on that side.
doesn't look normal to me either . you should get a replacement for that

[Q] Part of the screen can't be touched. Solutions?

So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?

Bend in volume button?

Last night I purchased the 32gb silver T-mobile varient. I was feeling the volume button and felt an indentation/curve. I didn't think anything of this at first. This morning I looked at the button and the indentation is off center. So I found close up pictures of the phone on various websites and it shows the button being flat with no curve.
Has anyone else noticed this on theirs?
Also the button works fine, but it's now bothing my ocd knowing that it's not supposed to be there. Should I exchange?

i have a tmobile one and the volume button is absolutely straight.
If that's how you got it then you should exchange it. I would attempt an exchange just on principle.
I took it back to the T-Mobile and they exchanged it. First time they've seen it, but they also said I've been one of a hand full of people who bought the phone. I'm just happy to have a straight volume button lol.

Earpiece

Hello,
I don't know if it was always like that or if I already got dirt into my earpiece.
To me it looks like the right two thirds of the grid of the earpiece are blocked (filled with something, maybe dirt). I will try to upload am image tomorrow.
Is it the same for you? I tried to get out or with a vacuum cleaner but it didn't change.
You can see what I mean on this picture

lol, never paid Attention to it. But you are right, I have EXACTLY the same right two thirds of the grid "blocked" .. Seems to be standard? Haven't found any issues with it so far..
That's as intended, the right two thirds are just cosmetic to make it look symmetrical, the speaker hole is only in the left third.
Hi there, I have too "dirt into my earpiece". Is it so on purpose or not?
Me too
I contacted my seller and he say me "it's normal". It´s no dirt but some like protective foil against dirt / dust.
