Anyone have any info on this? My "ok" button and some of the other's decal are starting to chip off and it makes it a real pain to look at. I just want to know if i have any options on replacing these or am I doomed to keep looking at them like this till they eventually all come off.
Same Here...

ditto i have same issue
really hoping someone has an answer for this
I'm having the same problem. I actually just noticed it the other day. Its only on my End call button and my softkey on the same side. i'm pretty sure that its from taking it out of the holster and the little metal clip rubbing against it.
ah that makes sense. i knew it was coming from the holster but i couldnt understand why, would still love to know if we can replace em
LOL, wow i thought i was the only one. Ive never dropped my phone but my top right soft key and windows key is completely chipped off clear now....it looks kinda cool actually lol....
Chipping
I used to work at a T-Mo Tech Center. There were about 20 out of the couple hundred of us who owned the wing. I introduced every one to XDA and often took friends' Wings home to upgrade thier ROM's. Over half of them had chipped buttons (ie Softkeys, Start, and OK). I always thought those friends didn't take care of thier Wings...until it happened to mine, and I am overly careful with it. I think the best thing we can do is let HTC know, this way It will be taken care of on future product releases.
Interesting post and I am glad the issue is being brought to daylight. It's not fun having a $400(+) phone have a $300(-) look.
Did you work in Frisco? I work in RP at the Jefferson Commins site.
Add me to the list, my ok button is completely scratched off, I thought it was just me :-D
add me to the list also my call button is chiped off were can we buy replacemet buttons
Wow this many ppl need new button decal and we all dont have a clue where to get it... I almost went as far as trying to get a replacement phone from t-mobile just so i could get em but sadly that didnt work out...
As I stated before, it really didnt pop up until about 6-8 months after starting using it. Its coming from the little magnetic clip on the holster.
If not replacing the decals....what about the buttons? Is there anywhere you can buy just the front keypad.
I know you can buy a housing for about 55 bucks, may be worth it. Pretty sure that the front keypad comes with it. I found this...
http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-wing-housing-p-1839.html
From that page:
"The camera cover and buttons are not included"
not a bad find at all, i think the buttons they are talking about is the keyboard seeing as those are the only ones missing. And it does say it has front keypad
Yeah, add me to the list too. My end button is starting to chip. Seems like a big problem. You think they would have maybe made the buttons clear plastic and painted them from the inside so it wouldn't scratch.
Add me too!
So I have the same problem as you guys. I know a lot of people whose buttons are completely clear now... I found this site, but i wish i could just find the buttons to buy too. Any help would be appreciated.

that's way too much just to replace the buttons.
To the guy that thinks it's his case: It's not your case. It's these cheap ass button. I don't use a case at all and it came off. Why couldn't they make it the same quality as the send/end (green/red) buttons? I'm sure the Herald users aren't having this problem.

On my first wing the send/end buttons were chipping too. Like you said, a combination of cheap and poor design.
I had seen a couple threads with custom colored trackballs etc...
Look flat out i'll be honest i'm not tryin' to do anything special I got royally hammered with my brother and woke up 30 miles from home the next day missing a shoe, my back cover, and my trackball will not go left anymore...
Cleaned it quite a bit even a mild bit of wd40 on a rag hoping to break up anything abrasive which has semi-worked but now seeing various custom trackballs i'm curious...
Would anyone be able to point me in a direction for how to replace it? I'll find the ball itself unless you wanna link that too ... but is it nothing more than a ball just like an old mouse? I know people have tried to replace blackberry trackballs and never really gotten them to stay back in there so I thought i'd ask ...
thanks !
you need to fully disassemble the phone to get to the trackball assembly. Use the HTC manual that can be found by searching it, it is a step by step process with all the screws pictured so you can get it back together. It is a tricky procedure, make sure you are up for a challenge if you have never had a phone like this apart before. this is one of the harder phones to work on.
BTW, Blackberry trackballs come out the front, by removing the trim ring. No such easy process on the G1!
They have youtube videos as well!
Threads dead bud... appreciate your excitement to help
lol... did you end up getting a new track ball ?
Changed mine just for the color ...LED didnt work. Doh
Has anybody tried to disassemble a Legend yet? Are there any pictures of the insides below the top plastic cover on the backside?
There are some pictures at mforum.ru but there are not shots of the most interesting part - just the aluminum case before and after.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post the link but google for "HTC Legend no disassemble".

I have disassemble my htc legend

How brave you are!!!! By the way, how have you dismantle it??? I can´t see screws in the upper side??
Cool, thanks!
I guess you need to lift up both plastic covers to get to the screws.
Hi, show us how did you do it, please..
great pictures shown there!!
can i confirm if the wifi antenna and the gps antenna are located on the top plastic (camera area) while the phone antenna is on the battery cover??
or are the wifi and gps antennas all the same, located on the battery cover??
thanks for the answer in advance.. haha.. this can help me decide what areas to hold on to the phone for specific tasks..
Hi guys ..

Tools
The first time I took it apart I used what I had, I just had to grind the tip of the scalpel, and it worked. But now I have invested in a tool kit.
Have fun…

Very nice .. thx!!
i've just opened the camera area .. How do I "push" the phone backwards and the rest of the way out?
Will post pictures in a second ..
hmm .. it is not possible to post links to my pictures outside this forum yet ..
Admin - please verify ASAP !
You have to push on the phones bag side to get the display forward and up, be careful not to bend the metal by the microphone in the top.
I really dont know how to get it out the right way..Piece of S***!!!!

Hi every one. After many days, finally my replacement lcd arrives to home (I broke my lcd and need to change it). I found thi video who shows how to disasambling the HTC Diamond 2, but the htc pure have some differences. I Just remove the 2 superior screws but i cant remove the inferior screws because i cant remove the inferior cover of the back cover. May some one tell me how can i do this? I attach one image to show what i try to say. Thanks in advise.
cmon guys, some one must know anything about it.
i tried to remove it with force but i only damaged it
sorry for the damage man, i ll try to remove it too and now i made some scratches in the cover...
I'm not sure if the T-Mobile and AT&T are the same but perhaps you should try to check if this works for you:
