Hi, does anyone have dust under touch screen and LCD close to volume up button. When you look on the sun or strong light.
Theres gap between LCD and top glass and bad sealing around. Have never had any spec of dust in TD1.
Hope its not gonna cover whole display soon... ((
Sent it to the service center, they gonna exchange display with top touch screen. Thats HTC display defect...
They just blowed away the dust between LCD and Touch screen (not perfectly), I think that glued LCD with touch surface is much more better, this is not very good solution on TD2. Im disappoited with HTC Company.
WELL, MAYBE IM TOO PERFECTIONIST...
After several disassembly of my TD2 (testing) found the place where the dust comes in... Will describe it with pics later on...
Nope. Just a spec of dust that got under my screen protector
I've got a spec of dust close to the speaker side of the screen
oh, 2bad :/
this is indeed frustrating.
i'm on the lucky side...for now.

Yes I have exactly that. Very annoying!!! I too hope it doesn't get any worse.
I have also noticed dust between the two layers of the touchscreen in bright sun light. IMO it's a severe design flaw!
I had dust under the screen yesterday and today. Right now it seems to have migrated away.
The Diamond 1's LCD disply and Digitizer were pressed and seald together as one unit I beleive. The D2 isn't and has a Gap between the glass and LCD. I much prefer the LCD up against the glass with no gap. looks sharper, brighter, and better.
I think they skimped out a little on the D2 quality to keep cost down and also economize a little. Look at the packaging. I really don't mind it because the quality is still good and HTC probably saved some bucks and will thrive and give us even better phones when the economy strengthens.

you're right.
I got a diamond last year.everything were perfect.
in 6 days ago, I got a Diamond2
the box..........so cheap..
well , that doesn't a matter.
BUT, when I check ....
1.the backplate is very shining ...............
What,.... when they were painting, they DID NOT check the dust on the
backplate.......
so , I change a new phone
2.the ups said that Diamond1 the display and that screen we touch or tap is a
same unit is really correct. In Taiwan, if your panel got any problems, you have to change the whole part.
at the final, to me , that isn't a problem ..
Because, the new Diamon2 I got , got a same problem
(dust in screen, and now , I can not find it lol.
but I have to say,
In taiwan , we really hope, HTC have got better and better..
with a bset quality.
hey diecorroder
so is TD2 good??
i dont know what to buy.... the HTC thouch HD or the TD2....

HA HA, in Taiwan that is a really really old conversation.
at the final, the point is
1.do you really need a 3.5 phonejack?
2.do you care about the size of you phone?
3.and the performance, it's same. Just like custom rom from Diamond2 can work on HD, so .. perfermance is not the point when you have to choose from the two phone.
to me, the HTC earphone I have is a really old model, but it got a gool quality,so I don't need a 3.5, and it's too big to put into my pocket
so I choose DIAMOND2
by the way , original rom in Diamond2 is really good..
(it is not my first HTC pda phone, I have got CHT9000,9100,9110,Elfin,Diamond..., but truely, it's first time I did not so hurry to find a custom Rom)
hey
well TD2 is new here in europe hehe..
3.5mm jack is stupid.read this.
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6885
The htc touch HD is 3.8 inch and TD2 is 3.2 inch its not that much of a difrance.
and the touch screen is better on the TD2.
so i will go for the TD2
one more thing, it says that TD2 supports WMV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, M4V, AVI formats. Dose that means that i dont need coreplayer??
I have experienced the same problem of dust accumulating beneath the screen in the top left corner.....only had the device a week!.
I sent it back for exchange and have now received another new device. Ive noticed the screen on the new device flexes a little when you press it.
I guess time will tell, whether this will be as bad!
me too
My TD2 isn't even one week old and I have the exact same problem in the same position!
...really pisses me off. how can something like this happen to such an experienced class leading company?
this is just cheap!
Dust under the display

i think i will wait for diamond 3

It's beleive it is glass. I don't know exactly. Some people on here have complained that it is cheap flexible plastic but it is not the same as the Elfin. That was plastic for sure and I ave already replaced the digitizer on the Elfin.
We all know that there are 2 layers to the screen and I beleive it is what makes it more sensitive and accurate than other resistive screens. (among other things)
My Tought
There is a plastic membrane, if you take the stylus and look across the plane of the screen while pressing it you will see it flex. This flex is limited though due to there being glass. Tap and poke at it and you can hear/feel it. This is also proven by the fact that you can press with fairly great pressure and never come in contact with the LCD. You never get and color mixtures or whatever that's called. So the digitizer is 2 layers. A plastic to highten risitiveness of the screen and glass to protect the lcd and limit the memrane travel.
Pleas note that this is just what I have observed and noticed about the device and beleive it to be correct. Do not take it as 100% truth but please do observe the flexing and how you can press fairly hard without even touching the actual LCD.
Touch Freak, I belive you are right, makes total sense...
No other with the dust problem???
I want to migrate from TP to TD2... but if the dust problem persist I probably desist...
later
Tyrone
I don't have any dust problem with my TD2...
I think we'll need to start some poll thread...

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.!!!

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
Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying a Touch HD but I'm wondering about the build quality.
What about the rubber coating of the rear face? Does it easyli peel?
Same question for the coating of the power and volume buttons.
I really don't want a device which fwill soon feels used.
I'm a bit fussy with these kind of device...
Thanks!
I think its a good finish quality, like the diamond in front, and the Kaiser on the back (rubber-like).
But hey, it's my opinion!
When I grabbed for 1st time, I said it was a well build phone and still have that idea.
Cheers.
I've not noticed any problems with the quality of them. The touchy-feely (technical term ) back cover is like the Elf, which I have not had a problem with at all. The hard buttons don't really have a coating on them, but I suppose like anything, with enough usage it may show signs of wear.
The case is sealed with no gaps, the screen is flush with the rest of the case... It's great quality. There's a reason it was called Blackstone. It really is like a black stone.
Strange question
This is my 4th HTC Device Polaris,cruis,Diamond and finaly Blackstone.
I didn't notice bad build quality before and the only thing I can say is that the Hd seems a least equal or even better than the other one , especially for the screen .
Still all of this dveices have one big throwback :
IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THEM CLEAN.
does it have some creaky sounds or something like this??
thx
The frame around the screen is it metal or plastic?
As for the diamond the frame is metal which I really like but the pictures of the Blackstone I have seen so far I suspect it is plastic.

its metall
and the backside is of a high quality plastic (feels like rubber)
THe paint on the back does have that tactile textured feel kinda like rubber I suppose (fetishist phones?.... ;-) ) - it's the exact same 'feel' [same paint finish I'd guess?] and look as my old Motorola Z3 phone - I was always concerned that would show shiny signs of wear around the edges etc - NEVER ever did - and it was used hard for a good year or so.
I'm hoping that this is the same finish as that - certainly appears to be

lol tell me about it. They are the mobile equivalent of getting glass desks, tables etc. Look good but will drive you insane at how quickly they attract fingerprints, dust and the like
For what its worth 2 other aussies got their HD today and pretty much said what others have mentioned. Front looks and feels good and the back has a solid rubbery feel to it good for grip.
hi there!
i got my touch hd last week and i have sth i wonder about if it is right or sth like a defect:
the touchscreen works great and its everything ok with it... but:
it seems to me that the touchscreen is sth like a foil that recognizes the inputs/pressure. fo safety reasons and to keep this foil from being damaged/scratched, there is a thick(er) plastic foil over this first "touch-foil".
on my device, the seems to be some space between these to foils in the middle of the screen. sth like ~0.5mm or so.
the effect is, that (my touch-sensitivity is set to max) touching a control at the SIDE of my screen very softly leads to imminent touch-recognition, while in the center of the screen there is this "gap" between the foils so that one has to push the upper foil down these 0.5mm until the touch is recognized.
acutually i can really FEEL that i have to push down the outer foil until the touchscreen recognizes the input...
i checked another hd-device (the one of a friend) and his device did not have this "gap".
is this a defect so i should return my device to htc for repairs or is this a common thing and nothing to worry about?
Hello,
I have the same "gap problem" but I think it is supposed to be like that.
even this phone from this friend mentined does not have this spacing? i'm anxious that this is sth thats not right...
anyone else here with the same sort of problem?
I have the same problem with the screen
HD has resistive touchscreen which has very thin layer before glass. In bigger screens, like HDs it has small gap in it.
Some older devices had way worse problems with this, like my wizard it felt like 1mm gap sometimes.
Try to live with it, its more like feature in resistive screens
Go for iphone if you dont want it.

The pressure in the touch screen should be uniform, but in some units it's not.
If you can, you should replace (not repair) it with a new one.
In my unit it's harder to press the uppper corners with the pen, but its a small diference, I have to make a bit more pressure (less than double pressure).

Hi, thats exactly the problem I have on mine (specifically the upper right where the Close button is)!! Mine is only 5 days old from Orange. Do you think I should get it replaced? When typing texts etc the 'keyboard' feels spongy - I am guessing this is the gap people talk about?
Thanks for any advice.
Rich
This is not a defect...it is just the glass screen is installed on different ways...my has some 0.1mm gap in the middle..but almost nil at the side..
But if your gap is around 0.5mm, I understand it is quite annoying...go and replace it but test the new ones first...
It is luck dependent..
you might get bad pixel(s)
Duffy buttons
peeling paint
flickering display
Mine is quite perfect... since I bought it to Fortress store in HK..and opened up at least 5 units and chose the perfect ones..
BUT I stayed there for almost an hour ..checking..
Thanks for your reply. I have just received a replacement from Orange today and the screen seems a bit more responsive however it rattles when its in vibrate mode so I am getting another one tomorrow evening. Orange have been very good about this I have to say.
Thx again
Rich
I woke up this morning i my screen glass was boken (i dont remember how 'cause i was too dunk ) ..
well, the thing is ... are those replacement screen on ebay like the original, i mean super amoled ???
is there a way to replace only the glass and not the whole screen? anyone know where to buy only the glass?
thanks a lot ...
The replacements are LCD. The reason you have to replace them is because you can't seperate the glass from the OLED. Maybe getting so drunk wasn't worth it?

Im sorry, your wrong. They aren't LCD replacements. They are SAMOLED screens. I just put my replacement in friday. The one i got from ebay was OEM and works and fits perfectly.
Also, getting drunk is ALWAYS worth it.

ebay links?

You're 100% sure they're AMOLED? Whatever the case I don't think breaking a phone is worth it to get super hammed. If you're so inclined to get hammered maybe you should leave your phone at home because having broken your screen just cost you 2-3 bottles of some Grey Goose...

Im 100% certain that the screen i got is SAMOLED. But i still need to find a home button
i have replaced the screen on my galaxy s, the screens advertised on ebay are infact super amoled screens, they are advertised as LCD is just a simple mistake (i remember picking one up around £30). The original screen is attached to the phone with a double side sticky tape! You'll just have to rip it out but when you get to the home button you have to carefully separate the ribbons for the touch sensitive buttons which are attached to the glass. Then its just a matter of sticking everything back in place and jobs a goodin'
There is a guide on youtube on disassembly which is simple, the rest you have to figure out yourself.
thanks for the reply's ...
but i still have one doubt ..
since the front glass covers the whole front of the phone, maybe it's not the same glass of the screen .. could be an aditional glass above the screen .. or not?
im telling this because my screen broke just 2 or 3 millimiters above the menu button and 1 o 2 mm bellow the screen ...
so, maybe i don't have to replace the whole screen system ....
do you know about a case replacement? maybe that could have the front glass ...
i'll post some pictures of my broken screen when i have the chance ...
thanks ...

You will have to replace the whole screen/SAMOLED assembly as they are expoxied together. The SAMOLED is so thin that removing it will ultimately damage it.
It is indeed a very stupid design from Samsung with the screen going all the way down around the home button. It has made the glass very vulnerable there and practically all screen cracks start there.
Does anyone have any idea on where i can get a home button. I dont need the ribbon cable and sensors just the physical peice of plastic that is the button itself. I am realy desprate.
I have just got my DHD, have two Desires and a Wildfire, and have been very happy with the build quality on them all so far. But on the DHD apart from the sim cover issue which seems to be well covered here, has anyone noticed the edges of the screen??? to me it seems the screen is to low in the case, on mine if yu run your finger across the screen towards the side of the phone, the case seems higher than the screen, and is quit a rough edge to it.
This is all round the edge of the phone. The screen seems to be aligned in the casing, it just seems as if it sits low and not flush with the side of the case.
Are they all like this? Or is this another build issue with the DHD.
Other than this, I am more than happy with the phone, and can put up with it, if there are more like it, but as I only have a seven day exchange, I would rather get one that is correct, if even this is a fault.
Cheers
Yeah mine is like that and prefere it as I don't use screen protectors so if your phone is placed on a surface the screen it self wont be in contact so wont get scratched easy. Weather or not that is reason for this I don't no but I do prefere it. Although they could of made the edges better as they are slightly to rough

Yes they are. Maybe it's designed to hold the screen higher when you put the phone face down, so it doesn't get scratched. Anyway if you put a screen protector (and I advise you to do it), it'll be perfectly flat.
Cheers everyone, feel a whole lot better knowing this. As I said other than that I am more than happy with my new toy. Soo many additional features from the standard Desire.
Only issue I have is affording a Desire Z as well to complete the collection
Cheers again, a screen protector is my next purchase, already have the htc leather pouch coming, as I have these for the other two Desires and my Wildfire, also have a gel skin coming as well, but will see when it comes if I am going to use it.
Any tips on a good screen protector to get?
Yep...go to the Accessories section or Ebay and Google should help you with your quire...
