Hi everyone,
I havent seen a post about this so i assume its only me that has this!
Since i have been carrying my exec in my pocket in 'clamshell mode' i have noticed that some of the keys on the keyboard have rubbed against the plastic next to the screen causing dot marks. i assumed the rubber pads at the edge of the screen were supposed to prevent this.
Anyone else noticed this? Anyone know how i can get rid of the marks!?
Paul.
I have the saem problem with my QTEK 9000
I have called tech support and they state that it isn't covered by the guarantee. Thats BULLS**T. I don't know who to talk to now to have this problem solved.
I got a Krusell Case and now the transparent part of the case has scratches. The case is 5 days old!!! This is definitely a factory defect in my book.
Who do we complait to about this?
Guys, don't you agree this is a factory defect? Anybody know any of the dealers personally and could inquire about this problem?
I've mentioned this under another post (search for "keyboard bump stops"). Basically, the little curves rubber stops in the bottom corners aren't tall enough to prevent the keyboard rubbing the top of the clamshell.
This is how I've fixed it...
1. Prize out the rubber stops (this is very easy with a jewellers screw driver, or similar)
2. Put a very small amount of Blu-Tac into the recesses, and pack it down with the screwdriver. This is to act as a base for step 3.
3. Using the screwdriver, carefully dab superglue on the blu-tac, and around the lip of the recess.
4. Push the bump stop back into place.
Mine now sit about 2-3mm proud of the surface, and I can see daylight through the closed clamshell, so the keys don't touch the top piece.
Cheers,
Steve.
Does this mean that it isn't a factory defect? And really isn't covered by warranty?
I think it's just a design flaw, really. In theory, I suppose you could insist they do something about it, but I don't know whether you would get anywhere.
Cheers,
Steve.
I recently applied a screen protector on my Qtek 9000 and used a cloth to clean glasses with to clear the screen of any dust. Since then I've put the cloth in between when I closed my Qtek. Both the screen protector & cloth will hopefully prevent any damage to the screen and surrounding area due to the keys touching and rubbing them. :!:
its a shame that, after we have looked after our devices so carefully, they are damaged due to a design fault!
Is there any way of polishing these marks out? i suppose it would be very difficult with the case being a matt finish.
Yeah, this is very disappointing. Does this happen to those who have MDA Pro, Imate, O2 also?
Is there some bureau where we can complain?
My Exec with about 3 weeks of use also shows marks on "-" and "+" keys, and also on "2" and ":", more concerning is when the device is used with screen out as I tend to keep mine now, the rubber stops actually touch nothing at all because of the curved outer case. No marks have appeared on the "o2" alluminium outer yet though, only on the plastic surrounding the screen on the inner.
Regards
Yeah same here... six little dots on the left of the screen and attendant shiny keys... bah!
I have ordered a Krussell case and was hoping this would fix the problem, but it sounds like it might not (although I'd rather the case got damaged than the device).
What about those of you with Piel Frama cases? The fact that they are a bit chunky and prevent the device from closing fully sounds like a godsend now, doesn't it?
I have an MDA Pro and I don't have this problem at all, there is a good gap between the screen and the keys.
I'm not sure if its the same for all MDA Pros, or if I've just been lucky.
Good for you that you don't have those marks. I only have them on the screen side so i guess it happens when the device is closed.
I have the krusell case. No luck, the plastic has scratches too. Only after 4 days, mind you.
Has anyone had POSITIVE results after complaining?
dot dot dot
This issue is a design flaw and therefore should be repaired/replaced under warranty. I have had five xda exec's due to this problem or that, and on number five I was adimint I would not get any shiney spots on it so I removed the little rubber stops and now I have my own home made stick on rubber stops which when I look through when closed I can see daylight...and no shiney spots so far....but I would say we should get together and do a major complant about this issue..I can not belive how HTC built the best phone I have ever owned the XDA2 and the very same company have built the worst one I have ever owned too.... the XDA exec
I've got shiney keys on the right and left of my keyboard on my mda pro but no marks on the screen,
I've been using a screen protector since I received it, all bar two days of trying to work out why the screen stops responding.
The shiny marks should be next to the screen and not on it. It's VERY annoying!
I have shiny spots both sides of screen, krussel case with shiny spots on clear plastic, AND - The screen swivels a bit on the hinge as you open and close, leaving a horizontal line above the top four center buttons on the keyboard, where the bottom of the screen above the hinge touches. Anyone else got this line?
so far no problem with this hinge causing a line.
I have the faded plastic of the krusell case though
Silicon Case
I protected my Dopod900 with a silicon case since I don't want to put scratches on it, I think it works fine. Take a look at it.
ive had my exec since november. If i call o2 and make a fuss about the damage i have from the keys will they replace it under warranty? How many people have managed to replace there exec's due to this problem?
But what even if they replace it??? This is a design fault and in all likelihood the next unit you will get will start having these marks in a few days of use.
But yes we should all make a fuss so that O2 finally pushes HTC to correct the design fault.

Well, When I arrived to my home to lunch today I was to check my Touch to send a message and I saw this! (See attachment)
I really don't know what happened! the phone doesn't suffered a hit or drop! the screen surface doesn't have any scratch.
Oh well, I will order a new screen from here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290160074209
What do you think?
Ouch..sorry
i've drop mine few month back, puting my touch between my lap while i step out from my car. #@#$%!
send back to HTC Distributor cost me couple of hundred. LCD broken is Touch weakness. my previous 838pro drop twice doesnt even break the lcd.
ouch. that's a broken touch
Same happend with mine too... Some where I must have put a pressure on my touch while I had it on my pant pocket... Screen cracked in to pices... Had to spend 100$ to get it changed by HTC... I dont know how to protect, it was inside the pouch which came along with touch...
It does state in HTCs documents with the phone not to keep it in your pocket, but this is the first time I heard of damage as a result!
I have almost had the same things.... the screen cracked but without having any pressure.. I have always the touch in my pocket in the pouch but everything is still working fine there is just a crack in the screen but it looks like a 1cm long scratch .. and if I put a little pressure it's like moving (left part move apart from the right part) but I can't use it normally .. I have been so lucky !
how can we be responsible for having to press hard to use it but the screen is easy broken .... it's really baaaaad !! it's not our fault if they did something conflicting !
ohh I'm so sorry man, because of that I'm still thinking to choose between a HTC Elf or the Kaiser one, I have read some german test about the Elf and other pocket phones and they warned specially about carrying the Elf on your pocket. Anyway the price and the shipping price are OK, but don't you have an authorized distributor for HTC's produtcs in Venezuela? If you do the work by yourself you will loose the warranty.
In Venezuela they will say "que coñazo"
i bet this will happen more often w/ touch & touch slider. the screen is even w/ housing unlike other htc pda's which have the screen recessed into housing. just look at all the broken iphone's on ebay already.

Keys in the same pocket? happend once to my MP3 plyer
I had the same experience. Turned my touch off and placed it on my desk, the next morning there was a tiny crack in the bottom left corner and the entire screen was shining Whit e(like a screen full of dead pixels).
I could still use the PDA on my PC using mymobiler. HKD$500 to get repaired even though I tried to prove that I never dropped it or scratched the screen.
I suspect some of the Touch's have faulty manufacturing, but with screen cracks its impossible to prove that you didn't damage it yourself.
@ #6
Not a dig at you, but that document
Hahahaha so where do they suppose you keep your phone when your out? hold it in full view of the public?
Damn, is there an application/software that can fix that? Just teasing. Seriously though, that's tragic. I believe the more advance devices become, the more sensitive it is. I think way off in the distant future, high tech devices will come with a metal casing or something. I lent my girlfriend, of four years, my unlocked sony ericsson p910i phone. She shattered the lcd by accident by having keys in her pocket. She then asks me, can I fix it, lol.!!!
Bummer Dude,
but you can get a cheaper screen at cnn.cn

Ok, The new screen arrived, before to try to replace the screen somebody have any tip, advice and/or manual?

Thanks, I'll try this for the next one
pressure
this looks like a pressure problem. and although im not sure how it may of happened to you folks, but my girlfriends laptop did the exact same thing when we went to tibet.
tibet is so high up that the air pressure is quite low, like half of normal if not less, its really tough to breathe and canned foods almost explode when the pressure gets that low.
Now for you, and i'm just guessing here, but by any chance was it raining the day or the day before your screen broke? i mean low pressure system could of done it if its a really touchy device to begin with. have to remember, these things are made at or near sea level. if you live in high altittude, and a storm comes through it may just be enough to blow it out. I only say this because what i see on your screen and what happened to my girls ibook are nearly identical. Does the black blob move? she had three of them, and they would shift across the screen, not fast enough to watch, but noticeable over the course of a day or so.
that and combing it with a weaker screen with a error in it
as, i heard before from people having tach screens, is that it can crack very easlie, i have a friend how has the same problem with his Iphone, he just charge it, and when he wookup he found it all cracked and broken.
so from now on he need to charge it over work only
Ok, I replaced the screen, very easy to disarm the phone
Someone is selling me his 2nd hand HTC Universal.
He told me it has minor scratches and a small crack just below the front vga camera which, he told me, is "normal" to all units.
Is it true? Is that spot under the camera really prone to cracks?
Thanks for your replies!
I think it's usual.
My uni is broken on the cameras glass.
None of the 4 universals I've had have got this crack, they were all pretty battered and scratched but no cracks.
My current one is probably the worst with several dents but still no cracks.
Hmm...
That's strange.
Anyway, thanks for your replies.
It is true
almost every JasJar I saw had the crack on exactly the same spot under the VC camera, it goes from the corner of the screen down. Another similar spot it right up from the stylus tip towards the hinge. Somehow Execs are less prone to the same breakage. Usually happens when the screen is replaced or someone attempts to open the screen without proper tools or knowledge. Wizard has a weak spot like that next to stylus as well, I guess each device has its very own weak spot.
Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'm buying the unit afterall.
I'm choosing between the Universal and the Asus P526 and I'm really confused.

Ah that could be why I've never had it - I've never tried to take the screen off...
just had a look and mine also has a thin hairline crack in the plastic on the videocam corner - never noticed it before!

That is exactly the place - have 2 units with that exact location of the hairline crack. Too much of a coincidence I think. Another one, as I mentioned, usually appears just above the stylus handle, extending from the hinge down. Third appears on the keyboard part itself right at the swivel hinge. Might have to do with the usage and practice of opening and closing the screen. Have one unit waiting for a new case because of the cracks. Might go black O2 on JasJar motherboard, O2 screen and O2 blue-lit keypad.
I'm afraid pictures are out of the question, firstly because it didn't seem to come out to well when I tried, and secondly because I've mostly fixed it, but I'll do my best my best to describe the damage.
Basically in the centre of my screen I've got a patch where the front digitiser appears to have been pressed against the touch sensitive layer at the back and is stuck against it. You can quite clearly see the little dots for the touch screen sensitivity and there are rainbow coloured rings around the outside (newton rings I believe). Basically visually this means I have 1cm by 0.5cm dark patch filled with little dots and surrounded by rainbow coloured rings in the middle of my screen. The screen still works fine, but visually it's really annoying.
Now I believe this has got to be the result of pressure (don't know how, I don't tend to lean on my phones much), and I've somehow managed to apply concentrated pressure to the middle of the screen and dent inwards only the middle of the screen, but what I want to know is how the hell did I do that? It's a glass screen surely it should have cracked rather then dent, I didn't even think you could dent glass, especially not in such a small area without breaking it!
Well if you've somehow managed the what shouldn't be possible yourself as well, then you'll be pleased to hear that you can dramatically improve it by sticking a suction cup on the screen and pulling. I used a sat nav windscreen mount, which did the trick nicely. Now all thats left is a little bit of a rainbow patch in the middle thats a lot less visible.
Hope that made sense.
Hope it helps.
Hope someone can tell me how the hell I dented tempered glass!

Almost everything will bend before cracking/breaking. To what extent is obviously dependant on the material and its treatment.
I live 13 floors up and you should see our 8 foot tall balcony door windows bend in the wind!
Same problem here, i actually did not put presure on the screen.. but one evening, an ugly black spot with oily rings around it appeared on my screen, blamed the wife first haha but she didn't touch my phone..
I got a sort of solution though:
Use a small plastic suction thingy, like you use to stick things on windows or in the shower, then stick it on the center of the screen above the oily spot. then move and softly pull the suction thingy.
Worked for me.. the black spot is gone but i am left with slight rainbow rings.. seems a bug of that too huge screen...
Anyone else a better solution? replacing the touchscreen is a last resort..
Lol exactly what I did to improve mine.
LMAO .. but a shame that those screens are so dodgy..
Could you please add a picture up here, as i want to see this strange thing?
Thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613631
I've heard of this problem happening on other devices (see here, here, here, and although not what mine looks like, here), but I was wondering what I can do about this problem. This is called Newton's Rings, I believe, and there's a nice wikipedia article about it. Apparently it's a problem under the screen.
It's an oily smudge. It appears to be made up of asymmetric rainbow-colored rings and is apparently under the screen. It is only visible in indoor lighting in certain angles, and is less visible when the screen is on. When pressure is applied around this spot, it appears to shift slightly. It's been present for over a week on my device without much change.
The HD2 has a capacitive screen, so the method to correct these spots (the "duct tape method") is said not to work. How can I fix this problem? I'm pretty sure I didn't cause it since I was careful with my device--it could have been there (most likely) from the time of purchase.
Should I ask for an exchange at my local T mobile store? Should I try duct tape or a vacuum cleaner to suck the screen forward, or should I try to open the device up and detach the screen, or should I beg for a return?
Help!
PS: You might want to check your HD2's as well...
*deleted*
*deleted*
I think you would have to have a resistive screen to even have this problem. A capacitive screen doesn't have these "layers." And, it requires a curvature to induce the inference rings which a hard glass screen with no layers doesn't have.
I followed a couple of them threads some time ago, and if I remember correctly some users which had this problem you're postin' about have had their hd2 replaced by htc cause it should fall under warranty terms. Return it to your local t-mo store and ask for a replacement. Should they deny that, try calling htc customer care and see if you can send it in to corporate for repair/exchange. I'd recommend that you try official ways first before attempting to disassemble it or to fix it by yourself as you may end up voiding your warranty..
Since you have a US T-Mobile HD2, and it has been less than 14 days and within the return period, you should be able to get it replaced at the store.
This is obviously a problem with the screen and you shouldnt try to fix it in any way. If you have installed or modded it in any way then return it to stock condition and take it back to your store. They are obliged to give you a replacement as it is a faulty unit. do not accept anything less.
Mark.
First of all, why in the hell would you buy such a device with incredible screen real-estate... and NOT place a screen protector on it?
My screen hasn't even been touched by human hands. Let me guess, the next thing you're going to tell us is your device has a scratch on the battery cover...
Having a case on the device would have prevented such an incident from occurring in the first place. Problem solved.
Take better care of your investments folks...

I seem to be confused about why you need a screen protector when the screen is glass? I was under the impression that glass screens won't scratch. I can't see how a screen protector would protect a glass screen from pressure, so what's the point?
LOL TRUE!!!!!!!! ^

Alright, well... I'm not even going to dignify myself a response to your first question... for obvious reasons.
As for pressure... what PRESSURE could you possibly be applying to your device that is apparently going to render the screen useless? It's a ****ING Pocket PC, don't mistreat it. Protect your investments... it's common sense.
Seriously though, your first question... RETHINK exactly what it was that you had asked me... and then I'm pretty sure you'll realize the stupidity.

I don't get the attitude, I simply asked you, or anyone else who seems to think they need a screen protector on a glass screen; why they feel that way. As far as I know, it's like next to impossible to scratch it, (unless you carry loose diamonds in your pocket) and the pressure comment was me trying to understand why you feel the need to get a protector. With all that said, I wasn't knocking you wanting one (somebody's got to buy them) I was simply trying to see if I was misinformed about the durability of glass screens.
Heh, my bling-bling may scratch my phone screen That's how you can tell they are real diamonds . Though, you make a good point, glass screen shouldn't scratch, and if anything, a crappy thicker screen protector may hinder the conductivity of your fingers? Just my guess. On a side note, had my ipod touch in the same pocket as my keys once (hate the thing, but it was free) The back got scratched to hell, but the screen was nice and unscathed.

Alright. Well, my apologies for the "disrespect".
I'm merely saying that a screen sleeve, protector, or WHATEVER is how someone could go about preventing the oil corrosion that occurs from natural skin oils on the screen.
This isn't oil corrosion. No disrespect from me either, but this unit actually had a screen protector. And a case. So thanks, but no thanks.

I had exactly the same situation with my old Hermes (going back quite a few years). I got it through the post from Tmobile and was playing happily with it for about half an hour until I noticed an oily patch exactly as you describe. Rang up Customer Support and they asked me if I had sat on the phone or knocked it in any way.. And this was after having the phone in my possession for 30 minutes HAHA in the end they told me to take the phone to the nearest store to confirm the problem and I got a straight replacement.
I think its caused by a leak in the LCD. You can try, as sugested on other threads to get some tape and try to pull the glass away from the liquid but this would only really be worth trying if your phone was out of manufacturers warranty. Since you have not had your phone long at all you are entitled to a direct replacement under the Sale of Goods Act.
Going back to earlier posts, too much pressure could cause this sort of problem but as stated with a good quality glass which the HD2 has this is very unlikely unless you had an elephant sit on it
More likely the LCD is defective and if the oily patch is noticeble to you then the seller has no other recourse. If I was you I would deal with this matter as soon as possible though so that you get a stisfactory result.
Mark.
Hey guys.
looking at your device, you have the same problem i have on my HTC TOUCH HD, mine had a small point in the middle, and after a few months it become bigger and now my screen wont work properly.
it means when i perss lets say "START" button, it reacts at the X button in the right of the screen.
adter looking over the net and reading about it, i can see a lot of devices from HTC has this problem, guess its a bad building quality who knows.
maybe it got hit a few times at the screen, maybe pressure who knows.
the thing is, CHANGE THE DEVICE before your screen wont react anymore, mine is Resistive screen. so i took a small niddle and lifted the screen from the left (the volume side) and squeezd it a bit, it went out, but a bit more came back after, that means something or some fluid is between tha screen, the Gap maybe i dont know.
ive also tried with a DUCT TAPE - worked for a few minutes than it came back again, but even when the oily part was gone the screen still was reacting not as before.
also there is a bad sound from the place you have the oily part under it' like if you press it with the Stylus or just your finger.
BE CAREFUL with thos devices!
Also ive heard something about PRESSURE differents between cities / countries and simillar can cause the screen defect.
for example - i live NOW in Eilat, its in Israel, and its a very very low place, i go home once a month, to a higher place (300M above), and it happaned since i moved here. it can be one more of the reasons to cause this defect.
well, my device is ruind, it can barely work now sometimes, if i press the screen from all of the sides or lifting it up with a niddle!
and that sucks!
BTW USE YOUR WARRENTY.
dont let HTC run away from their defaults and defects with thos devices, why do we have to pay on their mistakes of not making a good resistance materials for thos devices...its stupid.
specialy when it happanes to a lot of people with the same Devices!
i dont see any APPLE users having thos peoblems with IPOD / IPHONE!

All touchscreens suffer from defects (yes even ipdods and iphones lol). The trick is to send it back the moment you spot it and not sit on it and wait, hoping it will go away. It wont. You can use the tape method to pull the screen away from the bleed but the liquid will still be there and sooner or later it will just come back.
I noticed a bleed on my OLD hermes the day I got it from brand new, rang up the shop (tmobile uk) and they tried to tell me that I must have sat on it or dropped it. Everyone who purchases a device has a right that it will work for a 'reasonable' amount of time without defects appearing so you have to push your rights and get it changed (not fixed) for a new device.
If your device is out of warranty and you have a bleed on the screen the only thing you can really do is change the screen. These can be found on ebay and not that hard to do. For your Touch HD you can get one *HERE* but you have to weigh up whether its cheaper to just buy a new device or fix the one you have.
And I dont really think atmospheric pressure between different places would have any affect as lcd screens are built to work pretty much anywhere and if that was the case every time someone got on a plane their device would go capput.
Mark.
i know! that sounds not reasonable, but i looked at someone's Thread about that he went out of a plane and he noticed a huge spot in the middle of the screen, and few days later after going back on the flight it was gone.
that thing is very strange.
btw thank you for the link..
