Looks like I got one dot on the middle right side, tiny specks on the top right side, and a few more on the top. I also got some light leakage, but that's very, very minor compared to the dust under the screen. I'm kinda OCD about this, so I'm thinking of getting an exchange at Bestbuy..
What about you folks?
You sure its not dead pixels. Anyways, if it bothers you return it. its about customer satisfaction. So what if they look at you strange, you'll be happier and anyways, who cares about them.
Damn why can't HTC get this right! It seems every new HTC phone gets dust under the screen.
Yeah. Hopefully my new TPU case that's coming will block a lot of the incoming dust after my exchange.
I'm having some other problems as well, preferably with 3D youtube videos not playing in 3D. :/
I was thinking about getting the Otterbox Defender but I decided not to because of the size of it, But now I think I'm gonna get it because it will totally keep dust from getting under the screen.
I havent had this issue myself since the Hero, but it was most definitely annoying. It got so bad that I was tempted to just spray the phone with aerosol lol
Every HTC phone I have had has screen lifting issues. When you get a new htc phone press around the screen. If you hear any popping sounds the screen is strarting to left and will get dust under it. I use a hair dryer and get the screen really hot. Then press the screen down for 3 to 5 mins. This will help seal the screen and will keep dust out of your new phone. There can be dust under the screen from poor manaurfatioring proccess so inspect your new phone then use the hair dryer trick before it gets dust under the screen.
Yeah I got a damn spec of dust stuck inside my camera lens too... good thing its off to the side edge but yeh that urrrks!

I got the otterbox commuter case and it is wonderful. It is like silicone so it isn't slick and it doesn't add a lot of mass to the phone. It will still go in your pocket easily.
Mine had dust too. Exchanged it as soon as I noticed it.

I literally just watched a piece of dust get stuck under the screen when I was wiping it off. It wasn't there, then a moment later it was. This is in addition to 3-4 other specs I just noticed today. I think I may go into the Sprint store this weekend and exchange it. Has anyone had any trouble exchanging it for dust issues?
I just noticed 2 specs of dust near the charging port, very annoying. I had this issue with the Hero as well...got about 3 replacements, and they all eventually got dust under them.
Anyone have an issue exchanging their phone with this issue? I got mine at Best Buy, so they better take it back.
I got mine at Best Buy as well. Just make some stuff up like the buttons feels loose and the battery will drain randomly at times.
Why, is dust under the screen not a valid reason to return it? It shouldn't happen.
You guys should put a piece of tape over the headset jack when not in use. Most dust comes in through that jack.

I think the dust is coming in from the sides of the screen because its not sealed good
For those of you that have dust, did you exchange it for a new phone?

Why the eff should somebody have to do this to any phone let alone a brand new phone? If you have to do that then its not built right.
True, but it works.
Lol, I am not putting tape on my headset jack.
It looks like mine came in through the charger port
So I just got a View, and for the most part it seems to be a well-crafted device. But, when I press on the front side of the plastic piece on the bottom (right above the charging port), it makes like a cracking noise, like the plastic doesn't fit right. Does anyone else have this? I'm trying to decide whether it's major enough to try to send in for warranty/RMA, especially since I took the OTA to HC and now want to HTC unlock to flash back and do S-Off for some rom action, which I think would void the warranty :-/
Mine is very solid, no cracking at all.
just got mine today and it does have that cracking noise ..
Hmm okay....well so far is 50/50 lol so maybe its common. I noticed that the plastic piece on the bottom can be slid forward and lifted off the charge port, and the noise seems to be coming from the gap between the screen border and the plastic piece over the charge port. So, maybe I'll try putting something in the gap to see if it stops. I feel stupid doing a warranty claim for something so trivial.
no cracking here, but i got something i do not like.
the screen is not fitted correctly on the lower side of the device.
It is not in line with the rest of the metal part, in fact is aprox 1 mm above it.
If you look at it you may not see it but if you swype your finger you can feel the edge of the glass.
But otherwise it is well built device.
I do not think i am going to try to replace it(or maybe i will).
That's ok. I almost ripped my bottom off looking for the sd card slot.

Mine does the click when you press on plastic at bottom as well. I got mine from bens during the sale a few weeks ago. What about you?

Lol my View has that too! Click click click
Also afflicted with the click. Kind of annoying bit of cheapness/shodiness on an otherwise very solid device. Wondering if a silicone cover would help mask it...
I have something similar but it was on the top camera cover. Where it wraps around directly under the power button it didnt seal right, and there was a gap that irritated me. After trying to fix it with no luck I ended up sending it back to amazon and bought another. New one perfect.
After a pint or two at the pub, the lighted buttons wiggle and wave at me. Should I return the unit, or stop drinking so much?
So I managed to shatter the glass on my rezound....go me. I was wondering if anybody here has replaced the screen on the rezound and how hard it is to do. I didn't find a lot of rezound tear down info out there. I do a lot of laptop work and it seems like simular construction techniques. the only thing that has me a bit concerned is the whole adhesive issue. Using a heat gun to get the old screen off and I guess the new one will either adhere to the old adhesive or I need to find a source??
Anyway they appear to be 50 dollars for the part versus 100-150 to send the phone off to have someone else do it. Any thoughts???
While I haven't done the rezound yet, I have done a few others, the most recent being a Droid X. I ordered the 'official' advesive on the first phone screen repair I did but never again. It was hard to deal with...if you don't get it right perfectly the first time... you're done. I went with a 3M double sided foam tape after that and was SO much easir to deal with. Never had a screen pop off and anything like that. My wife is still using that phone as we speak.
Next biggest thing to watch out for is tearing those damn thin cables.... they tear so easy...seriously, do not use any sort of tension on those cables. One little tear could out your camera, or soft keys... or even portions of your digitizer. Such a pain in the ass.
Take care while dis & re assemb ling it, you should be fine. It's a lot more delicate than a laptop, so be careful.
I have never replaced the screen on my Rezound, but I have done a few other phones. My wife dropped her Dinc and broke the screen, then the digitizer went out on my OG DROID. If the Rezound is built like the Dinc then you will be golden. Took only about 20 minutes. But as stated above you MUST be very careful when disassembling the phone. The micro ribbons are a little forgiving but are pretty delicate.
Good luck though and let us know how it works out for you.

Well I opted to get it replaced mainly because I found a local place that could do it and had the part in stock. However the one they installed has clear buttons instead of red, which I like more but I think its best to stay with the way it is suppose to look. Also there is a small black line that they think might be a smug. They are looking for a screen with the factory red buttons. The question I have is I noticed this digitizer registers 4 points and I thought the rezound did 5 can someone verify how many points of touch its suppose to recognize?

My rezound i got from verizon refurb only has 4 input.
my rezound has always only had 4 points
Thanks for the replies.
Hi there, it's only me or the cover for USB and HDMI (but the second one is less important) sucks? opening it's ok with my nail but get back in closed position is hard -.-, and I have the fear to break the small plastic connection :S tips? I'm thinking about remove them...
I have got a technique to do it, but it's hard to explain. I push the top of the cover inside first, then the bottom.

Exactly, it slides in at an angle, then click in the bottom.
I agree it looks flimsy; I had the same fear with the usb port cover on my X10 though, and it lasted well over 2 years of daily charging.
I am used to it now, it's still pointless though. My Nexus One had no cover and the USB port is still working fine after well over 2 years. I don't know why some manufacturers think a cover is necessary.

It's way prettier, obviously. I saw a picture on here with the cover removed, and it makes the design of the phone sink below sea level.
A flapless port only looks good on a phone with a metal or proper metal-color body. Like the Xperia P. But the Xperia S would look like crap without port flaps.

Yeah but that's because you are taking the flap off when it was designed with it on. Phones designed with a flush usb port and no flap look fine.
It's like saying cutting the roof off your SUV didn't look good. A convertible sports car looks ace.
I don't think the XS would look bad with no port flap. Look at the headphone socket, that's very nicely styled. If they'd done the same with USB I'd be happier.
My samsung tocco ultra had a similar style flap to the XS and lasted me 2 years just fine despite me thinking it would only last two days.
The galaxy s had a slide cover which mostly did the job but wasn't exactly pretty. The pins in micro usb are pretty fine wouldn't take much ingress to mess it up.
I think when the flap spare pieces are available online I will get one and make proper opening for USB for it and leave it there permanently.
Some smart manufacturer could make a delete with correct opening. They could have made it just like Xperia P and it would look very nice.
I was thinking about such same thing. Waiting for spare USB flap availability.
I wonder if a replacement flap could be worked into a clip on case?

Ace, works for me too. I'd been faffing something chronic til now with it but that's deffo the method.
Good to hear that other people have had previous, port-protected Sony's last a couple of years and more OK, especially with 2 year contracts almost being the norm these days. All told it's encouraging, therefore, to read that Sony seems to be some kinda master of the flaps.
Too much innuendo - fnar!
I find the flaps very sturdy so I don't mind if they are a bit of a learning experience. I pop the bottom part, then the top part and it works for me XD.
On my X10 it was easy to remove but it was pretty fragile, so I would rather have it the way it is now, then none at all .
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
i think, it's hard to say whether it is better to have those flaps or not to have them (like in the xperia arc). of course, it also depends on how often you use them.
because of wifi, usb is mostly only needed for flashing, but at least you have to oben the usb-flap once a day for charging
but at the end the phone looks better with them...
The flaps don't bother me that much, but what does bother me is how loose they become after you have opened them a few times. It makes it feel like there is a loose spot in the casing.
I just wanted to chip in here and say if you're worried about the flap, you are right to be. I left mine charging overnight and when I came to unplug it I noticed that the flap had a crack in both sides somehow - despite me being super careful with it. It's not broken - some kind of membrane within seems to be holding it together somehow - but it bends along the crack now and it's a matter of time before it snaps completely.
I don't like that flap design one bit... I thought the X10 had a bad flap design but this one is far worse, especially when you have the phone in a case. It's vulnerable when being charged, sticking out worryingly... hopefully spares will become available. I tried to glue it to reinforce it but it's not easy as the crack is only a hairline when sitting properly.
I don't like them, on mine it has become loose and doesn't latch in at the bottom properly anymore. It has also list it's matte black and is quite shiny now, as is also the 'chin' bit at the bottom under clear strip, there's a definite bit of wear under the back and home buttons. :-/ 3 months old :|

Well my cover finally cracked the other day, the little tail that stays in the phone always cracked in half. So half is still stuck in the phone and then I have the whole cover left. It won't stay on anymore so must look for a new one.
Any one seen the USB cover for sale anywhere ?
Mine has broken too, found this on ebay:

Hi all,
just wanted to share an experience of mine with the dock, and how I resolved it...
When the screen was closed, if either side of the prime was pushed against the dock, i heard almost a cracking noise... due to some of the threads on here that got me a little worried.
I noticed the hinge had a bit to much 'give' when wobbled up and down,
I then started to open the dock.
I first removed the rubber pads on the bottom (which hide screws) one of these pads (nearest the dock connector) came off WITH the screw attached to it!!
low and behold, the screw on the other side was lose too! I put the screws back in and tightened them (if you are going to do this be careful not to over tighten them) all those nasty noises are now gone
effectively, the docking port was not being supported because of this... I wonder if this is the cause of some of these broken screens??
Steve
I am looking at buying the dock but I wonder if a screen protector would be good in protecting the screen against these cracks that the dock may cause. Another idea I had is to maybe put some foam tape along the sides just so its a bit softer for the screen to lay on and gives it a little extra space so the keys don't come near the screen. I really want the keyboard cos honestly I hate most software ones.
Its obvious but
Whys that?
step one. remove rubber feet for dock,
step two. notice the 2 screws at the back (nearest docking connector) are lose
step three, tighten screws with a clockwise motion
step four, re-attach pads
If it needed pictures I would have provided pictures
But I will take some later and turn this thread into a how to

im having this exact problem.. it sounds like sand between dock and tablet, scratching the tablets screen -- very creepy lol.
gonna try the screw thing right away, reporting back later.
EDIT: Yay it works! No more creepy noise
Asus you fail big time!

I was reading this thread and remembered how my dock hinge was getting a bit loose and how annoyed I was with it. As soon as I read this thread, I thought, let's have a look. To my surpise both screws were almost fully unscrewed. Screwed the up not overly tight and the hinge is once again as it was the first day. Unbelievable.
Many thanks to the OP for a good hint.
I had the same noises and after checking and tightening the screws it's gone. 2 of the 4 screws were loose.
Thanks for the hint.
Thanks
Thanks given
For all clarity i have question to you, what color is ur prime?
Amethyst grey i expect right?
It is not very clear but what color is the hole under the soft pads? and can u tell me if it is plastic or is the hole also aluminium?
My CG dock also had the two screws on the hinge side backed out. The adhesive material stayed on the dock instead of the rubber foot so it wasn't readily apparent. But, when I pressed a screw driver through to the head of the screw, one of the two was obviously ready to fall out, fully unscrewed. The other may have had a turn or so engaged. Tightened them and no more creak on that side.
I haven't checked the two opposite the hinge side yet, but a quick squeeze does cause creaking there too.

One of the screws actually inside the dock came out of mine and was subsequently lost. Anyone know what exact size these screws are, or where to get some replacements?

I LOL'ed after seeing this.....removed the paws.....and the screws came out with them....not even a little tight....scary but fixed...thanks op!
I opened the rubber feet and noticed that both the screws were completely out. Tightened them and put the rubber feet back. Checked the front screws and they were good.
Haha well both of my back screws came out with the pad... My tablet still 'wobbles' some when docked, even after tightening them... Hmmm =/
Thoughts?
Wow they came out with the pads. Totally fixed the creaking. and the fact that it would separate when held by the corner. I too have the wobble but only at the most widely opened point when gravity pulls it down, but we all know its top heavy. I would have added more battery to the base totally max it out. The damn thing is 60% empty. Not that Im complaining about battery life its amazing. But the balance when opened would have been better and would have approached 24 hour battery life which is the ultimate goal.
