I will be purchasing one soon, but i see alot of problems! Is this just because no one posts "everything is good" and most posts are just going to be "mine broke"?
including, leds/trackball light, broken pixels, screen gap etc
also is there any thing in common between the broken ones? Ex mostly white ones are breaking
and does htc offer a warranty at all?, i found the hero for 580 usd w/ free shipping but no return policy/warranty...this is scaring me!
Should i get white with teflon coating or brown which i sort of like more?
also i plan on rooting the hero, and i want to be clear on if you can put it back to normal after rooting if i have to return to htc.
one last thing, a few posts said "mine died"... is this totally dead? will they be able to see if it was rooted in this case?
Sorry for the long post!
ps, please post color and (maybe model number???) and if its broken or not

Mine is an unlocked HTC-branded brown one. No hardware problems so far (2 weeks).

Problems with build-quality (screen gap) seems isolated to some batches of operator-branded phones.

The brown one also has a rubbery-like surface. Not sure if its teflon, but its definitely not the usual hard&glossy surface that most phones have.

It shouldn't be a problem. I'd also expect HTC to reload a "known good image" on any returned phone before they run any form of diagnostics test.
thanks very much!
No problems with mine either..going on two weeks, white unlocked from clove.co.uk.
No problem here
all good here... lovin my hero!!!
Mine is still perfectly fine - no issues with build/hardware at all.
personally
before i bought my htc hero
i read reviews
most of them having a go at this n that and forums complaining about broken this n that
personally and through experience
reviews are just dumb they pick out on anything and everything i suppose thats what reviews are for but some of the stuff ive read on hero are really lame
and broken hardware etc comes to one result
people not taking care of the phones ive had me hero for some time theres nothing on it not even a scratch tried scratching the screen and back with a key no marks
its a good robust phone

well i just have to point out something. I bought my phone a week ago and till a few days ago, me too i thought that i was a happy hero owner until i read issues about the led thing and checked my phone. I do not know if i have the headphone prob as i never checked it out. What i want to say is that some issues are present and you wont notice them unless u pay attention to them.
Do u want to say that gap issues between the screen and more than 30 ppl complaining about issues with led,trackball and headphones ( probably more but some of us do not know it yet) are due to the fact that we dont take care of our phones????
I'm gonna jump right in, and just say. i've had my hero for 2 weeks and loving it.
This is my first android phone, so I took a little getting used to, think the missus is getting fed up with me checking forums and stuff. But all in all I am extremly happy with my Hero.
I use it everyday for:
E-mail
Facebook
Calls
Messages
USB Modem
Surfing
RSS
Podcasts
Performs better than my Ipod Touch ever did, and I almost never have to hook it up to the laptop... Loving IT!
so far mine works fine (1 week). the gap is a problem with some branded phones but mine (T-Mobile Germany "2G Touch") has no gap. the problems with the headphones and LED seem to be software related, since there is a workaround to manually activate the headphone again.
oh and BTW I <3 Hero. best phone i ever had.
got 2 on first release from orange (graphite), 6 weeks ago, 1 for me and 1 for me gf.
no screen gap issues, no dead pixels on arrival, but i had one appear after 2 weeks, right down bottom right of phone, extremely small and never notice it at all unless im on dead pixel detect.
gfs phone hasnt any dead pixels as of yet.
not a single other problem like leds or headphones.
2 totally happy customers here.
Totally happy with mine, no hardware problems so far.
Best phone I've ever had especially with how much I
Like to mess with stuff.
I was happy only one day. If I use longer (about 10 min) my Hero screen starts flashing. If I make reset, everything is ok for some period. I hope it's not serious problem.
I had the LED issue for a while, but just updated to the new rom, and they are back, so this could be a software, not hardware issue
Oh, and love love love the phone
I have read many posts saying that the new ROM update will fix LED and Headphone jack issues.
I just bought a phone on eBay myself, haven't had the chance to play around with it too much since I need to change my plan beforehand, but I have turned it on and look around and everything is fine. It is a White Unlocked one. I must say, the Teflon coating is like nothing I've ever felt before on a phone, it just makes it feel like a million bucks!
But besides the color, which is up to you, I would say get the phone! There is always a 1 year manufacturer warranty, even if the seller doesn't offer you one of their own.
An official HTC update will be coming out VERY soon if you don't like the idea of loading up a custom ROM (although it is highly recommended as there are added quirks such as root access).
I rooted my X10a to R2BA026 a while back using the main rooting method.
It looks like there's a possibility I may have to get my phone serviced or replaced by Rogers, as my screen has started to display yellow tint along the edges when viewing light/white backgrounds.
If I do end up needing to get it serviced/replaced, I figure it'll likely be best if I return the phone to a Rogers ROM in order to avoid any issues with it being rooted.
How would I go about doing so?
1. Download the flash/unbrick tool:
http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html
2. Download the decrypted Rogers Rom (R1FA014)
http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.html
Follow the instructions in the Flash/unbrick HowTo file.
About the yellow tint, where exactly are you noticing it? Is it the top where the ear piece is? or the bottom where the keys are? Or the left side or right side?
If you are going to service it with Rogers, can you update the status for us? I'm on Rogers and i THINK i see some yellow tint issues as well.
I resurrected an old thread on the yellow tint on the X10 General forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718196.
As I stated there, the yellowing is most noticeable on the bottom of the screen, though I can also see it on the right side of the screen.
Alright.. when you take it in, please update the status for us!
Thanks!

I might hold off a bit, as the tint is less prominent now than it was a few hours ago. May become more visible as the phone warms up, as I was tethering with Barnacle when I noticed it, and then disabled Barnacle for a while before checking it just now.
If it's anything like my old iPAQ with Rogers last year, once you get an RMA number from Rogers, they send you a new unit, and give you a few weeks to ship the defective unit back. A good process, as you're not without phone for any period of time.
I'll keep you updated either way.
Thanks..
But don't they just ship your phone to repair rather than giving you a new unit?
When I dealt with Rogers Tech on my defective HTC Dream they sent out a refurb of the Dream with a UPS call tag to either take the defective phone (boxed and placed in the shipping bag) to a UPS store or have the UPS come pick it up.
Pretty simple really and you're not without a phone.

Yeah, that's what they did with my iPAQ when I reported to them that the USB connector had become so loose I could no longer charge the phone.
I have the same issue with my X10. Rogers sent me two replacements but they both had the yellow/white blotches along the bottom of the screen. Looks similar to when you apply pressure to an LCD screen. It's only visible on white backgrounds for the most part. I've just decided to live with it, although it certainly annoys me at times. Not to much else they were willing to do for me at that point.

Sucks, but good to know.
In which case, I'll probably hold out for a bit.
I sent my rooted phone back to rogers and they didn't give me any problems. I asked one of the customer service guys and he said android phones are meant to be open source, so it it's fine if it is rooted. lol.
Good to know.
Just to let you guys know, my friend got a new white X10 from Rogers store a couple days ago. Her X10 already has the new R2BA020 firmware on it so it should be the new batches. The new X10 that she got also have the weird wavy pattern on the bottom or 'tint' issue.
So I am convinced that pretty much all X10 are like that..
or try this method its easier and it works. The flash tool bricked my phone.

I like the buttons on the European/Asian HD2 much more than the TMO-US model. They are slightly more subtle and arguably elegant. I personally think that the Red and Green call keys make the device look dated. I also hate how the US Phone has the T-Mobile branding on the top. Anywho, enough chit chat.
Is it possible to replace the physical keys on the device to the white ones on the European models? Better yet the T-mobile branding? I know this is a bit out there, but I really like my phone a lot and will be living with it presumably for the next 1.5 years. If anyone has any pointers or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance my XDA brethren.

i cant agree with you more on everything that you've said.
1) I am from US and I HATE the hideous tmobile logo. It, sadly, is a deal breaker for me.
2) The buttons are red and green! Get-outta-heah!
3) That extra long chin on the bottom of the american HD2? FUGLY.
I've thought about it many, many times about how much I think i am missing using a EURO hd2 on an american t-mobile line. Does it suck that I don't have data? yes. Do I care much about it though? no. I have no need for it as of now since I have wifi at work all day. And I cant be using my hd2 while on the freeway while I commute. so really im not missing out.
I've had many thought about getting a US hd2, and swapping the screens (To get rid of the logo) and the hardware keys. I've done my research on hd2's disassembly via photos and videos. Unfortunatly, getting to the hardware keys is probably the last thing you'll get ino order to swap them out. That means, you'll have to disassemble almost you're entire phone to get to it.
The screen is also difficult. Can't remember though. But yeah.
ive not seen a single swapped out hd2 of american with euro.
i'd love to see one. i think it'd be great.
my hd2 has a chin? I thought only the hero came with a chin?
http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/681/htc-hero-handset.jpg
man, y'all are some nitpicky people.
I'll keep my red and green buttons, and how dare t-mobile brand their phones which they subsidize!!!!
I'll also keep my 4-5mbps data speeds and my double memory of the euro hd2. Only games go on my sd card.

Hey guys,
I've had this one since release and had to do sober the phone warranty exchange due to degrading battery
I have a skid mark on thebottom right coroner. Yes, it's on top of the corner just smoothed it out or rounded it a bit. I was wondering if this will get a $690 fee imposed.
It's also S-Off.
Against company policy, instead of giving me silver like my current phone she asked which one I wanted and i said black.
Would they impose a fee for this, if so can I get it overturned?
I was thinking I would RUU it and I'd be fine.
Anyone who's been thorough this or heard of it let me know. Thanks.

Not sure about the skid mark on the bottom corner but my original black one had issues with freezing randomly so when I called for an exchange they had none in stock so they shipped me a silver one. This was over 3 months ago and they haven't charged me anything even though the color change is against company policy but as long as they initiate it you shouldn't have an issue. However not sure what they will say about the skid mark and say that is physical damage.
I replaced mine for a bad speaker. They asked if any cosmetic damage, mine had none at the time except a small scratch on the power button/IR window. I know they are inspected when returned, but have no idea how picky they will be or how good that "inspection" really is. Probably depends on the inspector you get that day. :fingers-crossed:
Question: Mine is rooted, running a leaked ATT ROM and when you boot it, the red warning pops up from HTC. Would that be an issue for a warranty replacement? How would I rectify that?
Relock the bootloader and flash it with an RUU and you'll be fine.
Is there a guide anywhere for doing so?
fastboot oem lock, run RUU from HTC, done. A lot of people get it wrong, you are not "flashing' a RUU, the RUU is a "Rom Update Utility" stand alone package.
Just an FYI. If your doing a warranty exchange and they transfer to the warranty dept. They will make you download an apk for you to install. This apk let's them look at your system. It first freaked me out cause I was on a full convert GPe. But they didn't say anything about it and went ahead with the exchange. Still a little bit unnerving when they say "please download the apk with the link I'm sending. This will allow me to take a look at your system except for videos or pictures"

Unfortunately, I don't. A factory reset was the last thing they make you do after they look at your system. But now know it wasn't necessary, so if anyone else goes through this process please don't factory reset. I am also curious about this apk. Sorry Cheesy

Warranty Replacement Woes
I called up the warranty department to get my phone replaced, due to the camera. They did the same ninja snoop APK file (which I still have) but I was smart and put the bootloader/firmware back to out of box state, so I wasn't worried. Weird, though. I don't know what they wanted by doing that.
Anyway, I got the replacement unit in 2 days, which was nice. The warranty department said I won't be able to tell the difference between a new phone and a "Certified reconditioned" phone. PSSH...
The screen of the replacement model wasn't as bright and had a yellowish cast to it, compared to my other phone, which I was not happy with. The top speaker also crackled when you play any sound through it. I called them back and they are now sending me yet another one. It's nice that they are trying, but I'm not going to trade one problem for another.
The one they did send out to me had a night/day difference with the camera though. I held both of them up to take a picture of my Christmas tree. Side by side, the screen of my old one was purple and the new one was nice.
I just wish I can get this whole thing sorted out

I had a similar experience at my local Device Support Center location. The "like-new" refurbished phone they wanted to give me had chips and dents in one corner of the bumper/aluminum bezel, over a dozen swirled scratches in the screen, and two very deep scratches in the screen that clearly made it to the digitizer. The polyurethane bumper was also really greasy and worn out. It was conveniently the only one they had in stock. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty offended that they tried to pawn it off on me.

Oh man...Yeah, nothing like that with this one. I mean, cosmetically, the replacement was better than mine!! I had a GAP-GATE phone, but just dealt with it because whatever. The screen and the audio would have bothered me more than a defective camera.
Got replacement no. 2 from FedEx...it's worse than my current model! Third time is the charm, I hope. Their standards suck! I seriously put the three phones side by side on full brightness and each display was seriously a different color. Wtf...my original has a blue cast to it, replacement 1 was yellow, and replacement 2 was purple.

Sorry to hear that. There's a thread somewhere in the HTC One subforum (non-AT&T forum) that talks about the three different screens used in the phone based on its manufacture plant; it sounds like you've had a go at all three.
I too am now having a replacement One shipped to me via AT&T. I'm praying it shows up problem-free, but after the ridiculousness of the Device Support Center trying to give me a replacement that looked as if it fell off the roof of a moving car, I'm not holding my breath.
Oh! They had me run the "snoop APK" as well... except it kept crashing on my One. I'm not sure if I should suspect the fact that I was running the official GPe RUU upgraded OTA to 4.4 or not. Thankfully, the guy I was talking to was a nice guy, and after 4 or 5 attempts to run the APK without crashing, he went ahead and pushed the warranty claim anyway.
I wouldn't recommend anyone else trying to use this "excuse" though, since he could tell I was legitimately trying to launch the app each time. It would just crash during authentication, after he had made a connection to my device.

I've been on my HTC Rezound since late November 2011. It's literally the longest I've ever had a phone, and I wouldn't be changing if mine wasn't starting to really give up the ghost. Within the past two weeks, Bluetooth quit working, it began boot looping, soft keys are becoming unresponsive, etc. Nevermind the battery life issues that have constantly plagued the phone.
So I started researching and not wanting to pay full price for a phone, I know I'm going to be giving up my unlimited data. No biggie, don't use more than 1-2 gigs a month anyway. So I looked at the most obvious options:
SGS4
HTC One
LG G2
The HTC, for as much of a beauty as it is, was almost an instant out. I don't like Sense, and I felt the battery in the phone was undersized. It's other disqualifying factor was what I felt was a smallish screen. So I was down to the SGS4 or the G2. Played with both in store, and the G2 blew me away with how much more responsive it was, brighter sharper screen, and the knock knock feature I fell in love with.
Thought I was going to have to wait a couple three weeks for taxes to roll in, but Verizon ran a special Saturday night on their website for the G2 for free. Couldn't help myself Picking it up on sunday, in white.
First plan -- Debloat. I hate factory and carrier installed bloatware.
Second Plan -- Pop the back plate and White Carbon Fiber Di-Noc from 3M.
Third plan -- enjoy profusely.
Nice choice, you will love it!!!

Whas in same position as u. Ran a sensation xe. Only reason I baugt a new was because I cracked the screen after 2yeara. I really loved sense. HTC one was my first choice then I saw this phone for 100$ less and everything seemed beter.
I don't miss sense and I don't think I ever whill. Only downside whit this phone is the camera. But it has so many other god things so don't mind.
Don't even have to change rom. Just root and install xposee and greenify

Yeah, I don't think I plan to change roms. I'm not a flash addict. I did it to my rezound because Verizon had that phone so jacked up with bloat it could hardly function. This one I'm hoping to root (today) debloat, check out the modules and see what they offer, and enjoy.
I got it for $10 after it was all said and done. I was pretty perturbed with Verizon for charging a $30 upgrade fee. I've NEVER paid an upgrade fee unless I was doing an early upgrade. I called them and griped this morning, they're giving me $20 of it back as a statement credit. $10? I accept that.

Just check ebay for white 3m Di-Noc and it'll come up. I think what I'm going to do is get a spare back panel, cover it, and then get a very thin hard case and cover that. I get the dropsies now and then and would rather have a TPU type case over the phone to protect the corners.
So I have my new phone but I'm disgruntled already. Irritated is more like it. Not at the phone, I'm happy to have it, but I'm avoiding messing with it right now. Flipping Verizon FORCED me to activate it on the spot in the store. I was like "What? Why?" and couldn't get a straight answer. That put me in a bind because I hadn't backed up my Rezound stuff yet, my wifi doesn't work, and now I'm kind of pinched because I have no data connection either. I wanted to simply email backups around and continue using it until I had the G2 ready to go, set up as I wanted it. Not the case now, which is why I'm so irritated. I even asked about reactivating my Rez and he said I can, but I'd have to bring hte G2 back into the store to have a new Sim card put in because you can only activate it's sim card once. Seriously?
Am I the only one that would be bugged by actions like this? I simply wanted to walk in, pick up my phone, take it home, set it up to MY preferences, then activate it, and I can't even do that now.
Called Verizon customer service and straightened everything out. All is well, I'm running my Rezound right now and slowly setting the G2 up.
Ordered Zagg HD Screen Protector, Incipio Feather case, generic ebay Rubberized two piece case, and 1sq of white 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl. Now I wait.........and in the interim, on to the rooting. I will have it rooted by midnight and starting the app removal process. So much freaking junk!

I said I didn't care to ROM mine either but you really should take a peek at the Flex ROM thread. I really enjoy it over stock. I believe it is titled Flex ROM 1.4.2 if you decide your interested. Enjoy your new G2!!!

I'll take a peek. I really like most of the embedded LG features (so much nicer than HTC's Sense stuff IMO) so if it doesn't give that or anything else up, worth a look I guess.
ROOTED! That was probably the easiest root I've ever completed. Ok, so I've only done 3. OG Droid, HTC Rezound (that phone was a disaster for support), and this.
And I'm becoming more and more enthralled with the phone already. Wireless data transfer thingy with my computer works like a champ. Actually has a settable quiet mode so I don't get notifications between hours I set. And so much other stuff. Just amazing how far these have progressed in 2 1/4 years since I got my Rez.
