I own my HD2 for 3 days now.
I have one simple question and I hope that more users experience this.
If I slide my finger to the right of the screen, to the end, I feel the side of the HD2. If I slide my finger to the left, the display goes over in the rest of the HD2.
At the bottom of the screen, it's the other way around. There I can feel a little edge on the left side.
Other users experience this?
did you drop it? by the looks of the pictures I've seen where they take apart a HD2, the screen is held in place by the rubber sides..
it's normal...99% of the hd2 was not been totally flushed with sides which is a rubber..
yes i have it too.
Well, in that case, mines' exceptionally well built. It's totally flushed with the glass. Sorry to put that out. I just love mines!

And what does this mean?
*my english is not that good haha*
So it's normal that you feel the rubber on one side ? Whilst de other side is straight with the glass itself?

Same here. Maybe 1/2 to 1/4 of a mm below the rubber, but perfectly straight all the way round.

No, no tilted screen, its exactly the same all the way around, totally flush with the rubber.
Mine has this flaw, but it this so minor that I had never noticed it. I suggest get over it, it's not a big deal.

Damn keys...left the phone in the same pocket....now i have a huge mark in the middle of the screen.
Any ideas where can I buy a new screen to change it
thx to all
That sucks. I thought the screen was suppose to be scratch proof.
Someone did mention cnn.cn for nexus one parts.
http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
That should be what you're looking for.
Cool...nice to know that it can be replaced. I've got a scratch also...but it's in the black part top left corner...so doesn't interfere.
so i guess that scratchtest vid by the eyelash dude was just BS? i had a feeling it was too good to be true.

As soon as I got my phone I tried scratching it with knives and keys but yeah came out with the same outcome as eyelash man. However a few days ago I noticed a scratch in the lower corner of my screen don't know how I managed to scratch it.. Must have been my wolverine claws

That's just the digitizer or the glass that's exposed. There is no possible way you scratched the physical LCD.

jackie from seinfield?
it's scratch-proof but it doesn't mean it's scratch resistant.
I once scratched a glass phone screen using the slightly exposed chip on a credit card. If it's loose in your pocket with the phone then be careful, as if it doesn't scratch the screen it works like a cheese knife and removes the rubbery coating.
Probably not such an issue for USA users; last time I was over there you didn't have a chip-n-pin system.

an OTA update might fix this
Hi,
Unfortunately, today I scratched my phone. To the left of the trackball I have a somewhat minor scratch in the metal chassis of the device. It's not as deep as an engraving would be on the back of the phone. So I am hoping it can be removed easily. Has anyone had experience with removing scratches from the metal or maybe even removing engraving ? I really want to fix this :-(
Probably those polishing stuff works, but i've only tested them on the iphone's chrome sides. But they're only good for removing hairline scratches
Battery acid, also that DIY stylus might help too if you rub it on there hard enough.
But seriously, try car buffer or if it isnt rooted just tell HTC that your phone is getting horrible 3g service and you want a replacement

I've heard of people using a gray-ish permanent marker...
Either way, once you get it fixed up, I highly suggest getting a BSE (or another skin).

Only $8. And I'd say worth more than 10 times that for how good it looks and protects!
Personally I like the N1 naked, its just so damn sexy on it's own
putting it side by side on my iPhone 3GS makes the N1 look like a supermodel next to an obese.... you get what I'm saying

It looks even better with a BSE on, trust me.
My buddy at work got an N1 and we put ours side by side. Everyone agreed that mine looked WAY better. The BSE gives it a badass gun metal look Check out the link at the top of the Poll thread to see pics of it "in action".

My mom told me to stop using big (or unnecessary) words out of context, guess I should have listened..
Edit: how does egotistical not fit into what I said? I would think it made perfect sense...
thanks for all the help everyone. that skin is a good idea for $8

While ur install was definitely first rate..a lot of us like the stock, matte finish as well as the feel of the phone. So it's just a matter of preference.
That being said I'd at least use a screen protector.
Paint chipping on my buttons hooray!
I made lemonade out of lemons and scraped the paint off of both buttons..
Now I have a green and a red button

Yeah it's pretty nice. It's better then looking at that chipped disaster.
Mine chipped back in January. I had the phone for only 2 months. I got Sprint to replace my phone after scraping the chipped paint off and I didn't like it. My wife's phone did the same thing after 1 month. But, I will admit, it looks better with the paint scraped than chipped.

Yep, how did you manage to scrap your paint off?
It took a while, but I used my nails and a coin. I would pick at it throughout the day. I was careful not to scratch the face of the phone.

I used a super heated pin, chipped it right off.
Edit: But now that paint is chipping all over I'm getting a new one.
i brought it in for screen dust and they also replaced the whole bottom panel

I've got a bunch of dust and chipping buttons but I haven't taken mine in because I'm rooted and running 2.0d with a custom theme (obviously NOT stock ). I'm just wondering if yours is and whether it was an issue or not.
mine was rooted running matrix I think. the guys didn't give **** but that was the ppl at my sprint store... idk bout yours. just do a nandroid and flash to an old gumbo or ttg.. i didn't have the time to lol

Thank you! (Sorry to hijack the thread.. I'm sure the buttons look sweet!)
And now, back to your regularly scheduled 'physical mods!'
Is there button on front galaxy made from plastic or metal (rim of button)?
Nothing on the casing is made from metal. It's all plastic.

If it were painted then it might mean that, but it's not.

Don't you think it's a little bit too soon to judge whether someone is a troll or not?
My little cousin's samsung qwerty also had a plastic button, but the paint fell off.
But in this case the Galaxy S II isn't painted it's manufactered in this colour.

Possibly. I just got the impression that if we'd have said it was metal he would have had a reason why that was a bad thing too. Anyway, let's butt out and let this thread stay on topic

Correct, dont hold the phone either because the paint on the side of the phone will disappear also. Don't touch the screen either, or the clear paint will also come off. Infact dont touch the phone altogether!!!
When I feel my fingerprint sensor I can swear it feels slightly rounded, but I have no idea if that is true or not. I am going insane about this and i need someone else to tell me if their's is too. I feel like it was flat a week ago when I got this phone but now it doesn't feel flat. help.
Mine is flat... How hard do you push on it? Is your phone warped at all?

It feels ever so slightly rounded to me now too, but that could be because you've implanted the thought in my head.

Very softly if at all, it feels domed as in popping out a bit. My phone is not warped at all.

Just curious. I was thinking if you pushed on it hard maybe it slightly warped the device. I just checked by placing a flathead screwdriver that just about fits perfectly from side to side on the scanner. No wobble, it sits perfectly flat.
