Warning: Don't buy this case for fuze

I purchased this case from daydeal.com
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=28226&cat=3920
And it puts pressure on both the outer edge of the touch screen and the touch pad at the base of the machine. The fit is great, but this button/screen pressure renders the screen and buttons useless.
If anyone has any advice other than throwing this in the garbage, please let me know. I've considered a dremmel tool session, but I'm not sure it's worth it on such an inexpensive part.
Buyer beware!

sand it down using a nail filer.

I agree. It seems that several cases like this have the same problem. I used a small knife, but you can use just about anything to scrape down the inner mold remnants and then it works fine.

Well, sure... thanks. Like I said, I might break out the dremmel tool and do a nice finishing job on this.
The main point is that we shouldn't HAVE to alter products to make them have their basic function. To me, this is like buying car tires that are square, and all you have to do is shave off the corners until they're round so they can roll. $13, or however much it is going for these days, is really quite expensive for two pieces of plastic. It's even more expensive when they don't work out of the box.
So, buyer beware.

Would it have been so tough to include the case name into the thread title? Generically mystery threads ain't cool...

I got a similar case... but all I did was spend 2 hours of filing lol... sucked but works great so far.. hopefully the coating doesn't peel off anytime soon.. not bad for a 9 dollar case on ebay

mine it's transparent any suggestions?

Thanks!!! I got my case the same night I loaded a new ROM. My case only caused intermittant problems, so I thought it was the ROM. I was getting ready to flash to the previous ROM when I read this thread. I removed the case and have not had the problem since. My case was clear also. My solution was to throw the case away and order a different style case.

Is this just as bad..
I was looking at possibly getting this case for my Fuze, then I seen this thread. This case looks pretty much the same, but not sure as how
it will fit, and I rather not purchase something that will cause problems.
It's from a different website, but could potentially have the same issue.
Anyone think it's worth it? Or just forget that style of case altogether?
Also wondering, if these types of cases hender in when your trying to acess the 'softkeys' on the screen [the lil calender & contacts spot]. I like being able to slide my thumb from there to the buttons, but i was wonder if the lil spot between could become a problem. Thanks.

i love the black rubberized case. i got it off of ebay and just sanded down the inside with some rough sandpaper. i painted the inside black because the edges show and now it looks great.

I bought something similar, but it was the black silicon case, so it is flexible. It's a bit annoying at times, as it is flimsy, but it does what I need it to do. I picked this thing up for around $6 shipped on ebay.

If you read my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459761 you will see what I did. All I did was sand down the inside upper left of the case and it has worked perfectly ever since. I posted pictures in the thread also. Hope that helps.
The case is really great, after you take the pressure off the inside upper left corner.

For what it's worth...I have this case in pink and I haven't had a single problem. I put it on the second day I had my device and it's been on ever since (only removed a couple of times to get to sd and sim).
I didn't need to file anything down. Maybe the difference is in the manufacturing of the color lot.

For those who don't mind spending a little more to protect their investment...(To me it's a BIG investment) http://www.noreveusa.com/product/HTC_P4600_-_HTC_Touch_Pro_Tradition_leather_case.html All buttons and interfaces accessible. Great protection!!

Seidio Innocase
Got my from Seidio and no mods was needed. Touch worked perfectly right out of the box. Link take you to the case and the clip combo, but if you choose not to use the clip, the case can be purchased by itself.

I have that case. . just went ahead and ground it down a bit. . ain't no thang at all. But before doing that, it did mess the screen up.

Couldnt agree more,I bought a new fuze from att and when it got here the spring or the slide one was way loose,it clicked when you are talking on it, called to get a replacement exchange the day after, I was told I would have to BUY another phone and when they recieved mine they would credit me.I am still p.o.ed,I told they lady that I already paid for a new phone and apparently didnt get one and this wasnt right.

at&t version of the case
I haven't noticed any problems with the "same style" case offered by at&t, but, I popped the top cover off of mine. I have a "invisible shield" screen protector on my Fuze, and noticed a slight indentation on the top left corner, and I also noticed a slight indentation above the left & right areas above the "HTC" logo at the bottom of the screen. Like I said, I haven't noticed the problems pointed out here, but I thought that if I'm seeing an indentation on the invisible shield,
then there has to be some pressure being applied to the screen. I went ahead and shaved the areas noted with the red in the photo below. Hope this helps.

I got a similar case off ebay too:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220306410400&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
works great. no need for filing whatsoever.

Farewell, my beloved G1.

Well, I just got off the phone with T-Mobile, and they are sending me a replacement G1. Why? My G1 had a wobbly screen. I question whether this is really worth the hours of work I spent in rooting and customizing it and even adding on a ShieldSkin too. But, I know this sounds immensely stupid, but I feel pretty bad about it. Its as if I have bonded or something with my current G1. (and it isn't helping that I am listening to Halo by Beyonce on the radio while I am writing this). I have the choice however once the new phone comes, to choose not to keep that one, but the wobbly screen... is starting to annoy me even though it isn't that big of an issue.

must be the biggest sap on the earth. I went ahead and canceled the order a few minutes ago because I just felt too bad about it.

I hear ya...
My G1 has two dead pixels on the screen that I noticed the second day I had it. I thought about getting a replacement, but I just couldn't bring myself to part with it. I still have it, I just try not to look at the screen in that area when I watch movies or that part of the screen is black. I am actually not sure it would be such a big deal if it was easier to restore. My treo was awesome. Hard Reset, replace it? just hook it up, choose your user name and it was just like your last sync, but I hard reset my G1 once, and won't ever do it again. I had used my backup, thought that it would back up the apps (ie, information and applications) only to find out that it only backed up the app itself, I had to redo all the information in everything.

Well... all my Apps are on my SD card, and I am very familiar with rooting and could probably do it in under 30 minutes if I were to get a refurb phone from T-Mobile... I canceled the order only because, like you, I just couldn't let it go. But, I wonder if that is the right choice, because after looking through the service manual (oops!) I realized that the problem with my G1 really cannot be fixed by me... so I really don't know what I should do.

One thing you hadn't considered is that the screen on your replacement might be wobblier. It's unfortunate that htc went with this swivel-slide design as it joins the two halves very unsecurely. I fear that the problem is a design-level issue, so whether the replacement is better or worse is luck of the draw.

well i replaced my black g1 once because of that, but ive noticed, even when you get a new one, over the course of time (a few months) that damn screen will loosen up on you, its done it on both black g1's ive had, and both white g1's ive had

I was considering doing the same...ive only had my G1 for about 2 months now but from what the tmobile rep said they all do that...he showed me his and his does it worst than mine. seeing he could probably get his replaced faster than me but he still dealt with it just says its a minor design flaw..but im still 100% in love with my g1.

My phone started that loose jiggle thing..like when its closed it can separate from the body of the phone like 1/8th of an inch and it droops down lower than it used to as well. I've had mine since about October I think and it just started becoming loose in the last 3 weeks

Yes this is a problem with all G1s due to the swivel design.
An easy temp fix is to stick something (like leftover screen protector material or creatively folded one-sided tape) underneath the screen on the keyboard portion of the phone on the top right corner (if you're holding it upright).

Well, for now I've actually found a cure. What I've done is actually cut out paper in the shape of the arch where the screw is in, I put the paper arches that are slightly bigger than the arch itself in, making sure that it goes under the screw and it stays in. I did one piece of construction paper, and then another piece of construction paper with a layer of tape on it to help it slide better. Now my screen opens and closes tight! Here are some pictures:

Dust and screen

Hi all,
I have just noticed that I have one single particicle of dust under the glass of the LCD.
I am wondering if someone has experienced anything like that yet or I am the proud owner of the only HD2 in the world with a dust particicle under the screen.
I thought they were assembled in a clean room... in fact the dust particicle it's exactly on the center right of the display... I thought it was a bad pixel but luckily it is not.
Now I am wondering how to remove that. Gonna try some elctrostatic method...

Me to ... only noticed it today when putting on an HTC screen protector. It is to the bottom left under 'phone' on the left softbutton.
The question is ... are they not sealed properly ... or is this something that was trapped during the manufacturing process and subsequently moved. If it is the former ... we have a big problem.
I wonder how HTC approach this under their 2 year warranty ?
If it is sealed ... I assume there is no practical way to get the dust out.
I've had the device since the 11th.
Paul.

I don't know... let's wait and see. Mine is really near the center of the screen. It seems really strange that it is coming from the outside.
I have the device since the 17th.

Where did you get the screen protector from? and also does that have any effect on using touch screen on the phone?

Bump.
No one else yet report dust problems?
My single particicle is still there and I cannot move it anyway.
No other particicle yet although I am getting nervous and I am starting to see dust particicles everywhere.

I was quite surprised by your report, and keep checking my device for dust. Not found so far (using two weeks, also loose in pocket). Major dust problems would really disappoint me, such a high end product shouldn't have that...

Checking the device for defective pixels/dust under the glass is one of the very first tests I do when I'll eventually get mine.

Could you not just return it to where you bought it?

Hi,
not a dust particle for me, but like a "bubble" in the glass...
I took a picture of it :
its on the left hand side (most of the "dots" here are dust on the screen), there are 3 of them
on the picture it looks like 3 white dots but in reality it's a bubble in or under the screen...
I remember having the same problem you have with my SPV C500 and orange changed it.

Hi, I have a very similar "bubble" under my HD2 screen. It's right in the bottom right! Got my phone on the 29th. Should I take it back to the shop or contact HTC?

It begins...the usual HTC problems rear their ugly heads!
I have had a dust problem with every single HTC phone I've had all the way back to the original SPV! Damn them!

well... i contacted orange & they will change it (a brand new one)
this pb didn't really disturbed me, but then i read on a forum that a user broke his screen with a very small shock and i thought "this bubble might weaken my screen"
I had a quick chat with HTC regarding this, and the hotliner told me that "this shouldn't be on a brand new phone, it s a hardware issue, please contact your distributor asap & they will change it"

Well you are right... but a single dust particicle means that mine is unique, while yours is common.
By the way... I bought mine from expansys europe giving it back and having it substituted means months.

I'm afraid as previously mentioned, I too have one dust particle ... you are not unique at all
Let us stand tall together and proudly go where no HD2 has gone before ....

HTC are working on a hotfix for this bug, be patient <<joke

Strange ... when I called I was told they had determined it was a hardware problem and they had invested in nanobot technology to seek and consume alien dust organisms.

I have a speck of dust too!
bottom left of the screen.
only had it for 1 day!!!!!

I took mine back to the shop only to be told it was caused by me! I was not happy! I kicked off big time. You can clearly see the bubble is under the screen!!!! How the hell could I have done that!
Anyway they eventually agreed to replace the handset but they (o2 uk) have none in stock in any store! When asked when they would receive stock I was told that they don't know!!!! How can they not know? I was so mad. I made then make a note on my paperwork that I came back for a replacement just incase they get funny after the 14 day returns policy.
Im upset as the handset has so many problems -
* Reply to sms takes forever.
* Camera takes pink pictures
* Bubble under the screen (Which is common from what I can tell)
* and now I can see a .5 mm black line at the right hand side of the screen from top to bottom!
I think HTC rushed this phone to market.
To be fair HTC said they would repair the unit but I don't want them taking it apart. It's a brand new phone and I want a replacement.
Rant over

If you had it for only one day, you can ask for a replacement as your not happy with the pinkness of the camera for example.

[Q] Small white dot on my screen, dead pixel??

Hello all,
Last night I noticed a small white dot has appeared from nowhere right near the centre of my hd2's screen. Its definitely under the glass, it kind of looks like a dead pixel, but it still shows up even when the screen is off, would it do that if it were a dead pixel? what else might it be?
any info appreciated, im running pixel fixer on it right now.

I don't think this is a dead pixel, because that one would not show up when you turn off the screen as there is no more backlight when screen is turned off.

Hi Col888,
"Houston, you have a IFO-Problem"...
at the Airport i worked we called this FOD (foreign object damage). Little or big Objects we found for the Trashcan. You have a IFO ( identified Flying Object ) -not UFO- between your Gorilla-Glass and the LCD-Panel. Sometimes it´s a very tiny piece from the white StickyTape Cover-Foil during the assemble Process. Regulary invisible, because this Paper-Pieces are close to the Sticky-Tape under the Black Area. Sometimes it will release and move from alone during the complete Display...
The only way to remove this "IFO" is to remove the Digitizer and Blow this piece away. Maybe it will be help if you knock very gentle again the Glas, so it will be sliding out of the way.
If you still have warranty, you can send this to the HTC Support. They will remove that for free ( you will get a new HD2 or a New Touch/LCD Combo )...
Best Regards,
Micha
P.S. The Best IFO i ever had, was a dead tiny Asia-Fly between the Glas und LCD. This Jurrassic Park Fly traveled around the world to me and my VERY BIG ( looking at the Fly) EYES ;-)

Thanks for the replies, yes I think you're both right its not a dead pixel, it does look more like some foreign object thats stuck in there. Iv tried gently knocking the phone a bit but it hasnt moved as yet, will keep trying that tho.
I bought it 2nd hand so no warrenty as far as I know. The phone was in total mint condition until that IFO showed up.
Im a little tempted to open it up to remove it, but I'll probably destroy the phone if I try that lol.
Cheers.

Hi Col888,
2nd Hand....that explain maybe everything. I bet the "VOID" Seal on the screw under the Batt-Cover is broken, right ?! And when i look in my magic Blue HD2 Michael-Marbel i will bet ( 6 Pack Becks-Beer ) someone changed the Touchscreen before you buy this Phone. Dust and Dirt you don´t find often direct from HTC. But Dirt often when someone inside a regular dirty Room canged this Touchscreen at Home...
Check the Seal ( broken or not )? and if the Touch-GLAS is not INSIDE the Backcover ( you habe to feel the sharp Cover-Rim, the Glas has to be 0.2mm deeper then the Plastic-Rim ) this will be replaced by an "DIT-Dummy". If "yes", say "THANK YOU" to this guy for the free IFO-Bonus...LOL
Take a look to you Gorilla-Glas. It´s not easy to bring it after a Touch-Replacement deep -HTC-Original Like- back into the Backcover ) ?:

Even for me. This Touch-Replacement was the best i can do ( looks after that like HTC-Original ). Regular the Glas is higher and if its over the Top, someone fixed/replaced that...
CU,
Michael
P.S. If you have a Cheap Ultrasonic-Cleaning Device ( for Watches etc.p.p. ), put this HD2 dry on it for 2-3 Sec. Maybe the FREE GIFT will walk away....

Thanks for the info Michael,
If Im understanding you correctly, I dont think the LCD has been changed.
Under the batter cover 3 of the 4 screws still have stickers on them, 2 void stickers, and 1 plain white sticker. The last screw has no sticker.
The LCD screen seems to be positioned the same as it is in your pics, on all 4 corners. It feels like the screen is pushed very slightly into the case. The plastic rim is definitely higher than the LCD screen all round the edges.
I would take pics, but my post count isnt high enough yet.
I dont have any ultrasonic devices, otherwise I would definatly try that idea out.
Regards.

I always keep my G4 in a clear tpu case, but when I took it out of the case to change the battery, I dropped it, and I cracked the lens cover. I was terrified at first since one of the main reasons I bought the phone was for the camera. But, after I took the battery cover off and looked at the camera lens housing, it appeared that the lens housing would come off pretty easily.
So I went on ebay and found a $15 "OEM" replacement cover.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151794398884?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Who knows if it's actually an LG part, but I put the replacement on last night:
I accidentally ordered a gray colored one instead of the silver, but I think it looks fine.
The only issue I ran into was getting the part back into place. I can only tell you that you need to put the top of the piece in first, and work your way down.
PS: Wow, I just realized how different those pics look. The first pic (the cracked pic) was taken with another G4, and the 2nd pic (the repaired pic) was taken with an iPhone 6s. The shot taken with the 6s really misrepresents the case/color of the phone.

The question here is how did you take the photo with the 6S ?

Its kinda ironic that this happens only when it was out of the case. which case was it btw ?
Could have been worse and been the screen.

I think the point is that the 6s was only just announced yesterday and won't be available for pre order until this weekend/next week?
Mr. Pedantic is highlighting that you meant 6 Plus??
Ps. I spotted that too and wished I was the first to pick it up ?
To keep this post somewhat on topic. I have to say one of the reasons I bought this phone was because of the iFixit review highlighting how easy it is to repair. My last phone (HTC One M8) basically required i remove the screen from the case and then split the screen from the circuit board to get to the stuff I needed to repair.... Well that went so wrong I had to buy a new phone...

Definitely, ease of repair is a selling point with this device. Not one that is mentioned very often by reviewers who only want to praise or bash the designers that only come into the picture after the engineers are done with their work.
I think the LG engineers who built this this thing should be proud
There used to be another korean company that until recently had the same philosophy, sadly they seemed to have lost their way this year. Was playing with various S6 variants in the shop yesterday and i hate the way the camera lens protrudes from the back, that lens is just begging to be scratched, smudged or cracked. but no, thin is in (!), its got a glass back so thin and slippery is a good recipe for dropping. Will be much harder to fix that thing by yourself.
