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've just recieved my replacement for my first HTC desire which had a dead pixel near the top of the screen (wish i kept it, such a minor issue :S) - I got it replaced for a new HTC desire which arrived today, which hs dust under the screen right in the middle of it - a bigger problem.
2 Phones unlucky, and managed to convince TMobile CS to replacve it as opposed to repair, so, I'm getting yet another one tomorrow.
Has anyone recieved a faulty replaement for a faulty phone or is it just me? :S
First HTC phone, very very bad experience, feel like cancelling it :/ (then again miainly for Tmobiles partially ****e coverage)
Funny, mines the most solid phone I've ever had, and I'm a long time Nokia user.
I'm not denying its solid, but one most annoying issue on a phone like this is the screen, and to have a faulty screen twice sucks.
I'm also worried HTC are rushing out desires now, so build quality/batch testing is effected - another reason i regret just sending my old one off now grrrrr :S
I'm guessing you're an unlucky chap. My Desire is of excelent build quality, no dust whatsoever. The backside locks firmly to the body, covering the battery verry well.
Every product has stories of unlucky customers. For me the three HTCs ive had have been the best built and most reliable phones ive had.

Well, it seems you're using the wrong wording. A dead pixel has nothing to do with build quality...they don't make the screens they buy them from a third party. Dust under the screen, again a rare occurrence that happens to the best devices. You had some back luck, but the consensus seems to be that you're an isolated incident.
Still asleep - but yeah, you're right, typically I'd use build quality to assess how solid it feels and its qualty, it does feel solid, not plasticy. However Dust does describe something not working correctly in the bulding process, but yeah - isolated - doubt a whole batch would have such an issue.
Trying to remember what word to use to describe my scenario
They say third time lucky, hopefully that one will work, since HTC desire is the ultiamte phone atm, and if i'm going to invest in a phone now might aswell invest it into an android. Failing that, might sell it on ebay or equivelant
There are worse things than dust that could get under the screen.
Imagine if the person assembling it, sneezed! :O
oh shiiiiiiii lol!

It's not just you, I've had exactly the same problems but the other way around. The first phone I received had dust under the screen, replaced it and now have a dead pixel. I however prefered the first one because I couldn't notice it as much.
I'm getting my third as well but they are CONSTANTLY out of stock. Both times I've received the phone I've asked to have it replaced within a few hours of receiving it (after charging and noticing the problem) and both times they've been out of stock for about a week afterwards (vodafone uk). I mean its good if there is lots of demand for this device but I just want to get one for myself that is fine out the box!
Like you said 3rd time lucky i hope!
Unlucky about that
I waited 2 weeks to get my first replaced, failing that the third you can send of to HTC for repairs, or ebay it and end up with a cheap contact.
It's you. Build quality is very good.
I find the build quality is not the best.
On front screen above the back/search button. I can see key back light coming out of a tinny hole, where the bottom part, the so called chin connects to the screen body. Then on the top left and bottom right of the battery cover. It doesn't seem to fit as tight as on top right and bottom left. I'd say that poor build quality.
I guess the word yous are looking for are "poor QC"
and when someone mentioned sneezing, I remember some article about some poor dude finding squished bug inside a screen on a vaio laptop LOL.
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 ?

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.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
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..
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.
We've all seen threads about issues with the screen. The update is out (somewhat) and new manufacturing dates have been found. Is anyone out there with no issues?
I'm about to buy mine in about an hour or so and this has freaked me out.
I have absolutely no issues with my unbranded One X. No flexing, no yellow spots, not dust, no dead pixels, excellent battery life (charging every other night) and no flickering.
I feel like I have a special device with all the moaning going on

Thank you. Do you mind telling me the manufacturing batch?
The only fault I've seen is flickering, HTC are clearly well on top of that and it is software, every clue is that the latest update fixes it.
So.... Yes, I am happy as Larry with mine, despite the slight screen flicker.
Please do yourself a favor and get an unbranded handset from cpw of p4u who should match any deal you're getting elsewhere.
Very mixed feelings about the Tegra-based 1X here. No screen issues, flexing, etc., like others have complained of, but my particular unit has *terrible* GPS. I'm not talking about long time to lock, I'm talking about position that jumps 100s of meters constantly, making GPS tracks useless. This problem has really destroyed my enthusiasm for the device.
I love the screen/display. Except for the lack of the inky dark blacks on my Samsung phones, the 1X has the sharpest screen I've ever seen, and great color reproduction.
The phone gets very hot if you tax it, ie., with heavy games. I was playing Dark Meadow: The Pact yesterday and the screen was so hot it burned my fingers if I kept then still too long.
Good luck with yours if you buy.
its really a great phone, go and buy it. i have no heating issues, but i am not a gamer. dont forget to use a custom rom

I am getting an unbranded one. From a brick and mortar store though. Call htc to confirm international warranty. I am in India or Canada hence cannot use CPW. Don't know about P4U. Will check it out.

let the rookies reply to such questions and have the mods or admins deleted if too many asking same questions and always open a new topic for that.
so far i never had to ask something, because there was always someone who post the same question and i found what i was searching for
Bought one. No appearing issues. There is a slight screen flex but no discoloration on pressing. No screen flicker (not yet at least). No yellow tint. I don't know how to keep it safe. Already have a little scruff on the bottom corner.
No problem whatsoever on my HOX ( unbranded )
Till now at least ...
Love it but unhappy with current battery stats.
Other than that it's a good phone, the screen is lovely. I just sometimes look at it in awe. Sure would have been nice to have removable battery/microsd/better SQ but it will do me for the next few months until next Nexus/iP5/Sony Mint etc.
SGS3 - I have preordered from Amazon and will make use of the 7 day return policy so I can test it and compare against the HOX.
I have had mine for a few weeks now and everything is perfect, no flickering or spots anything like that. Only thing that is slightly annoying is the battery life, i finding myself charging it twice a day but I'm a heavy user and the phones always in my hand

I've had my phone for around a month now, though it's not perfect (the screen it's sealed in 100% on the left meaning a 1mm gap allows light to shine out in the bottom left corner) I'm glad I got it.
It is a lovely phone. The screen is crisp, it's responsive and coming from an HTC Wildfire it's a real joy.
If you're one of the lucky few to get a phone with little to no faults then kudos and I'm sure it will make your phone seem even better.
I am confused and I truly don't know what all the fuzz is about.
* Yellowish tinge on the screen?
- Nope.
* Phone not booting after updating?
- Nope, and I've done 3 updates since I bought it.
* Battery draining like crazy?
- Nope, been using the phone the entire day and still at 73% (and even Bluetooth was activated the entire day to call hands free in the car)
* Wi-Fi problems?
- Nope.
If people are so unhappy about this phone go and buy a ****ty galaxy in blue

Alright so I found a stuck white pixel. It's only visible against a black background. And it's like the size of a flake of dust. Super, super tiny but now that I've noticed it I see it eveytime it's over a black background or image.
However, I was lucky enough to get a phone that has zero gap issues, and I've also already put a nice quality screen protector on it.
So my question is... Should I deal with it or exchange for a new One. It really is very tiny. I don't even have anything size wise to compare it to. I think even saying it's the size of a dust flake is too big... Also it's near the upper left corner sort of so it's not like it's in the middle of the screen.
Ps: I tried the stuck pixel fixer in the app store and it didn't do anything.
Opinions?
I'd take it back. I bought an LCD tv that had one pixel stuck as soon as I opened it up and turned it on it was off and boxed back up and exchanged. Imo it probably will be more likely to have more go out, not sure if it's true but I say exchange it.
I'm still debating. I think I'll give the store a call.
good luck finding a perfect electronic device. I know it used to be up to 3 "dead" pixels was considered ok by manufacturers. I think they've eased up though. I'd be worried about the replacement being worse.

Honestly imperfections happen. And something this minor just deal with it. When it comes down to it though its your call.

I wouldn't get a refurb, I'd get new. I'm friends with the manager of the corporate store, however... I think I'm just going to deal with it. I don't even notice it now unless I'm specifically looking for it against a black background, which is never lol

I think were still within 14 days so could get new
I am just noticing on the back of my phone that when facing down, on the right side it looks like a line running all the way down, kind of hard to explain, it's not a dent otherwise I'd be able to feed it.
hmm, I may go back to the store and check out the ones on the floor and maybe get a new one, but I also don't want to lose root. I am sure we will get it eventually and will be kicking myself in the rear, but.
I guess I may end up with a refurb! lol.
I send them back though until they are up to standards, I've send 3 back and they will keep sending you refurbs until you get one you consider up to par.
One time I got a refurb and the power button was so pushed it I literally couldn't use it, another time the vibration on the phone was so crazy high, like when pressing the soft keys it was cracked up on stock ROM somehow it was insane. the third time I got the phone and there was an issue with a speaker.
I have gone through many refurbs thought my smart phone days and I have to say they actually are *usually* good. The way that the HTC One is put together though scares me for a refurb, though.
Mine has that line too. It's like 1/3 inch thick looking, right? And very faint? And I've seen the same line in LOTS of pictures. I think it's just a manufacturing thing.
