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
it wont let you down

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).
Just out of no where, I can't use my camera anymore. I even did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I did the firmware upgrade and it was fine so I am not sure what could have caused this since doing a search, it seemed most was due to the firmware update. I was just taking pictures Wednesday of last week and yesterday, it just puked.
It takes forever to get it working and when it does, it looks like the homescreen all blurry. self facing camera works though. If I do (or can before it pukes), it just takes a green picture. ???
anyone else have their camera not working out of the blue?
I may have to send this unit back to ASUS to have them look it over as I don't think it's a software issue anymore.
Suggestions? Thanks!

There was another thread with a few posters who had a similar/the same issue. Pretty sure their camera wasn't even showing a good preview though, they were getting green and static even on the screen of the Camera app itself.
Too lazy to find it, but so you know there are some out there.

That happened to mine. It was working yesterday just fine and all of a sudden this morning, the rear camera only show corrupted green lines. Have you got a fix for that or you have RMAed it?

Mine suddenly stopped last week. I sent it in to the Texas Asus service center for repair.
One thing I can say with mine that specified hw issue is the if you pinched the top of the screen, gently, by the camera it would come back into focus.....but the minute it was closed and reopened, or handled in any way it would go back to a green screen.

oh wow!! i just pinched mine and it did the same! worked until i let go.
I guess this is going back to get repaired. thanks for the find.
Oh wow, how strange. Of course I don't have the issue, but good to know for the future that it is h/w. Suppose there's just a faulty connection somewhere? I'm going to disassemble later and see if it isn't something I could notice.

Thank you for this info. I pinched mine at about 1 thumb space left of the camera, and yes, it did come back, but it does not stay long.
What a piece of ****ty workmanship Asus has with this Prime? sigh...

Yeah, its unfortunate. It was an accident that I found that as I was just taking out of the case to make sure nothing was obstructing or maybe the lense came loose and when I grabbed the ATP to pull it out the camera became clearer and so thats when I started gently sqeezing around that area, lol
I was like WTF!!????

You should be able to get something because that's completely hardware related no way a ROM can cause that! I would get your case escalated... Best way to do that would be PM Gary key be sure to include your name contact info ect... Along with serial number and your email address...
Make sure the subject is descriptive like...
New hardware defect: green camera.....
Wait a day and if that doesn't work I can give you an email of my contact...
Again another flaw on asus's part that's why I returned it while I had a chance! It's there crappy quality control! I am telling you they need to inspect those things paying a Chinese worker the whole 10 minutes it would take to examine it is nothing compared to fixing it after the fact!

I was in the same situation, unlocked, rooted and running CWM.
I contacted Gary, he hooked me up with Tech support manager in Texas and they did the repair.
The only issue was when I got it back I was getting the CWM loop of death
It was soft bricked for sure, I couldnt get it to do anything.
I followed the guide by diamondback in the Dev section and was able to get it fixed, but I thought it was a lost cause there for a while.
I am guessing they made the physical repair, tested it and then did a factory restore which I believe will put it into that state so if you do send it off, make sure you have the ROM backed up and that you have adb running on a laptop so you can recover.
Camera seems to be fine now, hopefully I will not have to go through that again or for any other repairs.
good luck!

How long did the RMA take you? I keep on seeing threads about how it's almost been a month with no tablet in sight. I need my tab for school so I'm thinking of RMAing mine after my term, but that's still 1 month away.
Any suggestions guys?

Well Gary and a tech got back to me but I think when I did the pinch to see if its a hw issue, I think I screwed up my GPS connection since now it doesn't work anymore. But my Roma has stalled and I wonder if I should wait until the end of the month to see what this "new hardware" is. I mean, I can push the RMA but I did say my GPS was working until I tested the pinch camera "test" so I can wait. Pics would be great since my parents are in Taiwan right now and would like to send them some pics of their "grandson" (my dog) as he's growing (got him at 6 weeks and it's now 4 months).
Mine is a bit weird tho. When i turn off my screen from the camera app, i can hear my camera focusing. Sometimes after it would just reboot itself. Sometimes it would just crash the tablet.
Also, i tried the pinch method. It didnt work for mine.
I got the green screen last week. Called tech support and was told to send back for repair. It arrived yesterday in Texas and has been received and now in the pipeline.
So far, I have no complaints. Quite happy with the responsiveness of Asus.
I've always understood that, with electronics, if it's gonna fail, it usually happens within the first 90 days. If the item works past the initial 90 days, then should be good for life.
Well, my TP is less than 90 days old.

10 business day exactly.
I shipped it 3/12....got it back on 3/26
i had the same issue with my TFP
i gave it a good smack near the rear camera and now it works im pretty sure the problem is with the connection.
i also noticed that my TFP screen is barely pop out a bit. so my guess is that is there is some kind of "plug wires" that are not exactly well fit.
my guess is my fix"the smack" would be just a temporary fix that may or may not work with you and the problem will come back later
Mine died today, I can push on it for a second and when I let go it goes to the green screen. Have a bunch of dead pixels in one area as well, and my dock isn't sturdy anymore. Just about to RMA pretty soon here.
RMA it. Doesn't take too long for them to get ur tab back to you now
I started a thread about the digitizer problem in Janauary about things suddenly scrolls rapidly, especially when browsing webpages.
Then on the Jan 15th, I took it to warranty, but without being able to demonstrate the problem clearly, all they done was reflashing the firmware.
I've already tried to fix the bug in the driver, but it is damn hard to filter the "noisy" touches without side effects. (like ignoring movements that are too quick, then i can't type in swype quickly)
I should have known *#0*# earlier, as I'm now able to reproduce the problem right in front of them.
On March 15, I took it to them again. Today, got my phone back with replaced touch screen. Then, tested it in front of their CS and reproduced the bug as shown in the attachment again.
I suggest anyone who owns an ace, please go into *#0*# to test your phone. Keep circling around the lower-left box for at least 10 minutes. Reply to this thread if you're able or not able to reproduce this. I may print this thread to Samsung on my next visit to them.
I've also uploaded a video to youtube to show this. (it's around 1:51 for the bug to appear)
We need to get Samsung to fix this!!
Yup I've got the same problem.
Notice it a lot with Draw Something.
*#0*# doesn't work for me, probably because I am rooted and have a custom rom. (ICSunday by Jusada).
That probably means I lost my warranty
Yes, I have this problem to. The first time occurred with less than 30 seconds of testing and the second around 1:20 min.

Yes, it's Samsung's own test menu in stock roms. But it should be reproducible in whatever drawing app.
Thought i ONLY had this PROBLEM!!
Its not only in STOCK browser also in DOLPHIN, OPERA.. And others. The page suddenly moves to the end with a slight touch!! Wat does the SAMSUNG ppl say about this??
Hope we GET a EXCHANGE of THE SET!!
it always happen when I scroll the long page slowly :/
I hope Samsung will fix it soon
They said they will be replacing my phone's motherboard, as they have already replaced my touch screen.
I wonder if it's fixed in S5830"I", otherwise even exchanging with a brand new ace won't solve it. I would try to ask them to exchange with an ace plus, or maybe I had to escalate a brand new ace first, and take it to "repair"
Well, since its a hardware problem, I don't think they can fix it with an update. I've experienced it my self countless times as well.
I noticed this when playing Air Control...
Also the rapid scrolling in Dolphin Browser is familiar to me!
I have that probably too
Yaiyeee!! New phone

Well I faced that problem too while using DiskUsage App. Just a slight touch and it moved to right end corner.
i have the same problem.
I've had this happen to me as well, can be quite annoying.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it unfortunately, but it doesn't affect the phone all the time. If it did, I'd be asking for a refund
Although, those Galaxy Ace Plus' do look nice...
is ther a pertition we can sign? or something? obviousley its a fault, so now what for us ace owners??

Hello, i just bought my i9300 a few weeks ago. All seemed normal when i noticed that when i was viewing a gray screen ( e.g. a game loading ) or anything that wasnt completely black, there were some spots in my screen. I thought at first that it was some graphics or glitch from the game, but then tried loading another game with a similar gray screen and they were still there. They arent scratches or anything like that ,it seems that its from inside the digitalizer. I dont know if i can even put a photo of that, because its not easily visible. My phone obviously has its warrany voided due to some rooting. If i flash the stock firmware, unroot it and run triangleaway, do you think i would be able to swap it for a brand new?
Hey mate, I have the exact same problem I keep thinking it's my eyes or something but I guess if your seeing it as well maybe its a problem with the device?
Do you also see the screen sort of flickering at certain points?
Well documented problem with many handsets..

Swapping sometimes works but usually you're stuck with a worse model and can't go back due to technical issues with boyfriend 2.0

Huh? I hope you are talking about Samsung and her Baby i9300 ?
I'm having the dreaded touch lag issue on my poco device.
I've sent it back for repair or refund but they refuse to do anything since the touch tests pass.
I tried explaining them my previous 3 years old device is fine and that the poco which is much newer and faster should do this and they don't listen to me, they say that the device is working like the manufacturer intended for it to work.
So, can anyone record a video?
It should only take 2-3 minutes to record and upload. Do it in 480p it doesn't matter as long as it shows the issue.
There are 2 ways to do it, the correct way, and the fast way, I'll write both.
1) Go to about phone, kernel version, tap a few times then CIT testing app will open. (if it doesn't open try again)
Then go to the top right and press the three dot menu, then additional tools, then touch sensor.
Then tap really fast on the edges of the display. If your device is working as intended the touches should all be registered.
2) Download realdrum, and tap really fast on the below drums on the edge of the display, If your device is working as intended the drums should register all the inputs without missing.
Again it's urgent, so I could use all the help I can.
Thank you.
Did you tried your device without a case? I read about cases doing this issued.

I feel for you. All the 7 pocophone I have tried have this annoying issue. I've complained and asked people about it, and who claims that theirs is working fine is either using Swiftkeyboard (which isn't as fast as Gboard), or simply doesn't know how to test this properly. Maybe they just don't notice it at all, but I doubt there's a single pocophone without this bug, and this is what made me give up on the phone.

God damn it Xiaomi, how can they release a faulty device and take no responsibility for it?
Samsung went ahead and recalled all the Note 7s that had the battery issue, a much more expensive and higher selling device.

2 returned from a retail store, 2 from amazon, 1 that I tried from a store and 2 more from friends of mine. It's absurd how bad their quality control is. They claim that it's software, just like they claimed the screen bleeding was part of the phone. They're a ****ing joke.
Do you have a screen protector on , or to be more specific, a tempered glass one with the black band? If so this is your issue because the black band is slight raising the contact. Have you tried pressing the device harder to see it it registers?

No screen protector, pressing harder doesn't affected the usage.
Most of the units if not all have this problem, I canceled my order for this phone recently and I'm glad that I did. Xiaomi had to save on something and they did, sadly on the screen. Screens from tianma are known for their not very good quality ( rumors say that they catch afterimages after time ) and it feels bad that it turned out that this phone is a big no no. Screen is a numero uno thing when it comes to a phone, damn u look and type on it so despite the great specification this phone is a crap. People all over miui forum write threads that their pocophones have input lag and ghost touches. Xiaomi knows about it and since a month clam that they gonna fix it via ota updates. Let me tell you something they won't. It's not possible to fix it because it's a faulty digitizer that causes the problem which is obviously a part of the hardware. That's what happens when you try to rock the world with the best spec budget smartphone and u cut costs in the lcd panel area. With all that being said, don't fall for this phone. If you look for the good phone for 300 bucks then better option imo is for example Lg g6. Don't get fooled and stay open minded guys, peace.

Good decision, refund this crappy phone and get something better. When it comes to me xiaomi just lost a supporter and follower, once Hugo Barra left xiaomi everything started to fall apart ( mi mix 2/2s are not as revolutionary as the first mi mix was or the mi 8 which is nothing else than a iphone x copy ). It's always good to wait and see the very first 3 months after a phone release, usually after this time most of the fails/cons come out. Have a good day anyways

Most of the units if not all have this problem, I canceled my order for this phone recently and I'm glad that I did. Xiaomi had to save on something and they did, sadly on the screen. Screens from tianma are known for their not very good quality ( rumors say that they catch afterimages after time ) and it feels bad that it turned out that this phone is a big no no. Screen is a numero uno thing when it comes to a phone, damn u look and type on it so despite the great specification this phone is a crap. People all over miui forum write threads that their pocophones have input lag and ghost touches. Xiaomi knows about it and since a month clam that they gonna fix it via ota updates. Let me tell you something they won't. It's not possible to fix it because it's a faulty digitizer that causes the problem which is obviously a part of the hardware. That's what happens when you try to rock the world with the best spec budget smartphone and u cut costs in the lcd panel area. With all that being said, don't fall for this phone. If you look for the good phone for 300 bucks then better option imo is for example Lg g6. Don't get fooled and stay open minded guys, peace.

Just tried using CIT as well as really drums. Problem has been solved in latest beta 8.10.18
U can try and confirm. Scrolling on the edges is also smooth now and even keyboard is working fine.

Again you are right.
I became impatient with my old phone and that got the better of me.
Will keep those words at mind next time.
Have a good day as well pal.

Well, it doesn't change the fact that lcd panels in pocophones are poor quality. I don't really believe that they managed to fix it via updates, only time will tell after let's say a month if the problem is fixed. I don't think that it will, it's better to send the phone back, get ur money and wait. There are way better options for example the aforementioned one plus 6.
Working fine for me
For me it is working fine. I can't see the blue line which show the position but the touch is working fine even when I tap it fast. The touch is always registered without the blue lines. You can always see a red dot where you touched.

And you try to understand smart boy that input lag is related to a hardware problem not a software problem, go and check by the way miui forums. There are plenty of people commenting that 9.6.25 didn't fix a thing.
