should i return it? :O i really cant stop but to notice those 3 dots.
but if everybody has them, then its fine
I looked at my HTC Amaze and I don't see the same 3 dots that are in your picture. Maybe my tint is darker to hide them but my guess is that they still exist.

I bought this phone since very first day it came out. I have them lol and I actually like them cuz look cool I wouldnt call it design flaw
Inspecting the phone even more I found two dead pixels and the phone doesn't vibrate at all. It's faulty, I even downloaded the vibrator app on the market. Lol.

The only strange thing I can remember was a prompt about more current to the device. This prompt appeared on three different occasions. I ignored the prompt because the device was not connected to any power source.
Other than that, there is nothing I can think of.
Well, I would call up HTC Support, if it's not your fault then they might fix it.
They fixed my bricked Flyer, which was my fault, so they're pretty nice.

Blocking the sensor works, but...
I just tried putting a small piece of tape over the sensor and found that it works. The red buttons always stay on regardless of the ambient light conditions, however, during a call the screen will no longer go dark so that your ear, cheek, etc are no longer prevented from inadvertently clicking on anything. Obviously the sensor has a double duty.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.

About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

There is a certain production tolerance. If you feel unhappy with your screen, return it and demand for replace.
If not, stay with it.
