I just wanted to say that I got my EVO replacement due to the screen separation issue. Anyway, as soon as I got the replacement phone I noticed two things that were different from my first EVO.
1. The back cover: The back cover on this EVO is a little darker than my original and seems to be made of that scratch resistant rubber plastic on phones like the Palm Pixi. It's not as rubbery as the Pixi but it's there and it's definitely different from my first phone.
2. Screen Brightness: The screen on the replacement is much brighter than my first EVO. Even at the highest setting on my original I was a bit disappointed coming from the Nexus One. This second phone is easily as bright as the N1.
Could the phone really be a little different this early on in production?
Whats the hardware version?
It says 0003. I never checked my first EVO though.
I received an 0003 on launch day. It does not have any of the issues so far that people have been plagued with.. I have noticed that the light from the buttons bleeds through to the lcd screen which is annoying and is more obvious depending on what is being displayed on the screen. There is not screen seperation or light gap between the frame though.
I have one of the first batch EVOs and mine says version 0003 as well. Maybe they didn't bother changing that information?
I wish there was a way to compare. Either way, I'll probably wait and see if my EVO gets any worse within my 30 days before I ask them to swap it out for a newer version. But I also don't have too many issues with it. My touch screen works properly (not sure if there's an issue or not because I tried it on my pillow again this afternoon and it worked fine) and my screen has not separated yet (though the light does still leak through a teeny bit).
I have version 2 and I haven't had any of the issues people are mentioning. Hopefully I don't have to swap mine out.

I've got a v2 and no issues except for the ground one which I don't really give a crap about.
I have version 002 and I don't have any problems I hope. I do get the problem with my screen not mounted correctly so when it is on a table the screen is not working properly

All 3 of ours were 0002 from sprint.com on launch day; all 3 have the glass problem and mine has the blown speaker problem.
Hoping when they get them back in stock, the exchanges will be better.
Yeah, I also have a 002, most likely because I have a Google IO phone. It seems to have none of the problems that are being talked about—not even light leakage or touchscreen. Only problem out there is the 30FPS cap and that's established to be kernel/firmware. Seems like the first true production run of EVOs had some shoddy work...

Odd because my Evo is from launch day and has the rising screen issue but it also has the same back cover and very bright screen you seem to be describing on your replacement. I kept comparing my Evo to my HD2 and saying wow the Evo screen is so much nicer and brighter for some reason.

Have you tried pressing down on the glass just below the 4 touch buttons? I had the light leakage since day one but I had read about it in a few tech blogs who demoed the Evo before launch and said they noticed that so I figured it was just a flaw to live with on most if not all Evo's. But now that my screen raised up and can move up and down a bit, when I press down hard enough (which isn't very hard), the light leakage goes away until I remove my fingers or until the screen decides to pop back out later.
Guess I am not the only one noticing this:

Second EVO (replacement for first.
Im currently on the second EVO now and I too niticed a difference in the brightness from the first one. This one it brighter and the bottom 4 buttons are evenly lit on this EVO. The Hardware on this current EVO is 0003. I dont know what the first EVO was. I am currently waiting for sprint to get more in stock so they can send me a 3rd replacement. This model has the yellowish vertical lines in the screen,
Today I went to use the front facing camera and the phone froze, rebooted, and now uses the back cam no matter what setting I put it on. It seems like the front cam is nonexistent. I have done a factory reset and still nothing. I dont understand what happend to HTC's quality controll from Hero to EVO. The Hero I had had ZERO issues and now these phones are falling apart right out of the box. Way to go HTC!!!
I have 002, having the glass issue along with light bleed. Right now it's not that bad when I have a case on it. But I am going to get TEP and get a new phone a year lol.
I was so happy when I saw it! GO NEXUS!
http://hoopload.com/profiles/blogs/nexus-one-spotted-in-the-event
It always is so strange to me when I see someone in person with a Nexus One. You can tell it is immediately but it just shocks you given how rare they are compared to other smartphones.
Hmm, not so sure...
I saw the same episode the other night and thought exactly the same as you. I went as far to rewind and freeze frame it.
It was then that I noticed a slight difference between my Nexus One and the one on the screen. The ear piece has two LED's (one either side). Then I realised it was the Desire as that has indicator lights there. The other reason is the headphone socket is on the other side to ours on the shot as it pans out.
well that kills the rarity then...as the desire is not as rare (no where near as rare) as the Nexus One.
My best friend is on US Cellular and dumped blackberry to go Android(at my prodding) He preferred the Desire over the Samsung Mesmerize(Galaxy S) because of the build quality. Hard to argue with him. He'll love this post.

It's not a Desire. I have one right beside me. Look at the picture - the Desire doesn't have that curvature at the top of the screen.
edit: and the Desire only has one LED as far as I'm aware...
Desire has one LED, same as the N1, possibly one of the sensors being picked up by the camera somehow?
The IR proximity sensor might be picked up as a LED by the camera and turned visible - many cameras "see" some of the IR spectrum, unlike human eyes.
Judging by the picture - it doesn't look like Desire, it can be only Nexus.

I have to agree that it isn't the Desire (just Google Imaged it) and the earpiece os totally different but there are definately two LED looking sections either side of the earpiece grill (ours doesnt have anything similar). The main difference is the headphone socket sits on the left on the unit (ours is on the right) as the guy is holding it, we see the underside of the phone.
What episode is that?
Re: the headphone jack, it could be mirrored?
Bravo for the Nexus actor skills
It was episode 7 (26:10 into it). I had thought that about it being mirrored (used loads in TV and film to suit a camera angle it seems) but in the same shot, the camera housing is square and it doesn't seem to have any LED flash by it either. Also, the volume rocker sits slightly raised from the phone (Nexus One almost flush) and looks lower down the left side of the phone. It could be two phones, one for the screen view and one for the looking up at the "phone in the hand" shot as it looks smaller in the guys hand on the long shot. Not really sure what the little bugger is really...
The sensor shows up as purple... Its a nexus... It just looks weird from the angle/lens just my two cents

Look closer on the both sides of the earpiece, when the phone is in direct strong light that will penetrate the screen tint. You'll see 2 "things" on the left side of the earpiece, and 1 "thing" on the right. The "thing" on the right you know - it's a charging LED, which is visible. The left one your eyes can't see - but cameras see it, as I pointed earlier, and it's a proximity sensor - blinking IR LED with IR receptor which measures reflected light.
If you look at matte (anti-glare) screen protectors, you'll see that some of them have a cut in top left corner - just where the proximity sensor resides.
So "ours doesn't have anything similar" is just untrue.

I've been seeing N1s on that show too! Almost took a screenshot of one scene where the trackball glows white. Rewound and checked and thought that it could be a reflection of something shiny.
It always makes me chuckle when I see someone put a smartphone up to their ear and the screen stays on; you know they aren't really on a call.
Hi,
I love my S4 (apart from it being a little laggy for a supposedly fast phone..)
Anyway does anyone else have an issue where the front panel cover under the glass is not correctly aligned? Mine seems to be pushed to the right and slightly downwards. I took a photo to show the issue. Anyone else's like this?
Also the home button is already starting to get loose and not feel as firm and solid as when it was new (only a month old!). The left hand side of the button has some movement where I can push it down a little and it clicks/pops, I then have to push it further down to do the actual button click. If I push the button down fairly hard it seems to fix the issue for about a minute or two and the button feels ok, but then it comes back to how it was.

I called the repair centre here in the Netherlands and they told me i could replace the front unit for 150 euro's ... because they blame the user for it.
Last time i bought a Samsung device, this is surely not a user fault because my phone is more @ home.

A defect rate of 2-5% is acceptable in electronic devices. That means some are going to get out with defects. And that applies to all manufacturers not just Samsung. The mis-alignment is pretty negligible and I doubt 99% of phone buyers who aren't enthusiasts (or anal retentive) would have even have noticed. OP, you're obviously outside your remorse/exchange period. How long have you owned the phone before you noticed?
The quality control on the S4 is TERRIBLE! Samsung have only $$$ on their mind with the S4 I'm afraid.
It was rushed to market and didn't go through proper QC, in my opinion.
I have had 6 replacements, YES 6!
Phone 1: 2 grey lines running through screen.
Phone 2: same issue but a bit better and in a different place.
Phone 3: Pink tint on bottom half of screen.
Phone 4: Front camera, LED and sensors totally misaligned in casing. It was so bad the LED and front camera were cut off.
Phone 5: Pink tint on top of phone.
And finally my current handset: Broken power button out of the box, green tint down left side of screen and also the same 2 grey lines on low brightness. Here's a photo of my current S4 with the green tint and horrible screen in low light.
http://db.tt/JKLs7sdN
I'm off for a refund at the weekend.
So after 6 Galaxy S4s ALL with problems I can safely say the QC is appalling!
I've had every Galaxy handset since S1 and never had problems. So I'm not just being fussy. Im never buying a Samsung Phone again

Actually, there have been pretty few complaints compared to how many have been sold. This year Samsung's launch issues were mostly s/w related and at least anecdotally the SGS4's got less build quality issues than the SGS3 did when it launched. And I'm not talking about one person's experience with both phones which have sold in the millions. HTC on the other hand had less s/w issues this year but a ton of build quality issues.

I'm on my third phone.
Phone 1: vertical lines
Phone 2: pink tint at bottom
Phone 3: pink tint at top
I've decided to just keep mine. There's no guarantee I will get a perfect screen and I might just get a worse screen.
After a while you get used to the tint and not notice it

That's about a tiny screen gap on HTC One. What about the HUGE gap between bezel and screen near the power button that loads of S4s had?
I don't know anyone that hasn't had to take their S4 back for a replacement handset. Granted I only know 3 people including myself with S4s, but that's pretty bad.
Neither of my friends have a perfect phone, one has pink tint on screen and the other has grey stripes. But unlike myself they have just settled on it and are keeping the ones they have.
I've had 100% failure rate on my S4s and I've had 6, I feel that the quality control is terrible. I've yet to see an S4 with a perfect display.
I think the S4 was rushed to market and made cheaply, simple.
And don't even get me started on their failure of the Octa core processor.
I've always been very loyal to Samsung and really impressed with their products, I own a lot, including white ware and home theatre etc.
I just feel really let down with my S4 experience and my next cell phone and probably TV will both be Sony.
Honestly I tried to avoid to buy phone from samsung. I have their tablet and TV and they are all crap.
I choose S4 is just because it has biggest screen size.
All such purple tint is OK with me. But I feel so regret for the sound from speaker.
I didn't own htc one. I believe the sound must be a lot better.

Since the M9 is starting to become available on several markets, it could be interesting to compare the quality of the different batches re: screen, finish, temperature, camera...
I have two different M8 and it's almost like they are two different phones. One has a vibrant screen with perfect white balance, the other has a washed out yellowish display, the one with the yellow display has louder loudspeakers (same ROM), and the camera protection film is smudged whereas the other one is like new.
Please post your report with the first 6 digits/letters of the serial number to identify the batch. Like HT42WW
Looking forward to the first feedback

from my experience with htc, they have two or three factories. I forget which one was preferred manufacturer but the lcd is definitely different between some. This started with the mytouch 4g I believe, it was also seen in a few others such as the amaze and sensation. not sure if there are any others but I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah I remember that thread. I also found that the Sensation had two screen manufacturers and started a thread about it in that section.. I think with the My touch 4g it was Sharp and Sony and you wanted the Sony screen. The sharp looked like crap. With the Sensation it was Sharp and AIO or something like that and with that one you wanted the sharp panel (although some preferred the AIO panel)
Mine is UK version, Carphone warehouse. Gold on Silver. The screen is very good, not leaning to red/yellow or green, best white balance i've seen so far on a non iphone.
There are slight gaps around where the new lip is, which i'm sure destroys the IPX3 rating and will be a dust magnet, although up to now, no dust has gone anywhere lol.
Speakers are brilliant! Better than M8.
I got my silver/gold AT&T version yesterday and so far no problems. Solid build quality. No dead pixels, screen is great. No problems that I can see really. Serial starts with FA53DY

Could you please give us the first 6 characters of the serial number, in order to figure out the factory batch? Thanks!
Please excuse my post here, as I don't have the device yet, I just wanted to post my findings.
Sadly, I think build issues remain in the M9 as well. On close-up shots in some video reviews I watched you can see them. Take a look here for example. On 2:17 you can see the right part of the screen protruding a bit from the front metal panel and in the next close up, around 2:22, you can see there are (multiple?) gaps on the left side of the screen between the screen bezel and the frame. What is really weird is that, in the second example, it's not a single straight gap, but multiple gaps, extremely weird for a metal design.
I know I'm probably nitpicking and many of you would dismiss those issues even if they were on a massive scale, but I won't. Never mind my OCD (this can be tamed ) but I really hoped HTC would crush such issues after dealing with them on both the M7 and the M8.
Let's hope those are isolated (or even better, illusions caused by the angle of the video) and will be (or are already) fixed in retail models. It's the first time I'm planning to upgrade from my M7 (all of the four models I had had some kind of build quality issue) and I would hate it if I had to play hide and seek with Arvato again.
Beautifully made. Very impressed. Too scared to use without a case, however .

get it exchanged, the units i tried had the glass completely level with the front plate, it's part of it's beauty, the news are reporting shortage and delayed delivery for the USA, so let's this hope this will not pressure the amazing QC
I have a grey M8 at home right now. Will update this post later tonight when I get you the serial number and pictures
My HTC M9 is from the HTC Champions launch event which happened in Atlanta this week for retail employees.
M9 serial: FA53FY
M8 serial: *will post later today
Overall the M9 feels a lot better than the M8 in terms of build and feel in the hand. If I place the M9 on four fingers and tilt my hand forward or backward the phone doesn't slip off unless my hand is almost vertical. The M8 would slip out of my hand after like a rotation of 10-15 degrees lol
The M9 is a little slimmer and that I don't like. Coming from a OnePlus one and large phones regularly, the M9 feels too small. Overall I'm happy because I put a case on it and it brings the size back a little to me. Bought a Nexus 6 last night anyways haha.
Mine is perfect. SN FA53K.....
My M8 was FA as well. Also perfect.
Just had a scan for any of the noted imperfections & unless only visible under microscope all is sweet & dandy with mine
Unlocked Gunmetal Grey M9 from HTC.com. Everything is perfect with mine. Couldn't be happier with it. Now I just need a good case lol.

Mine doesn't appear to have this. It was one of the first things I checked since I noticed this in some videos too. Kind of surprised, really. The volume down button does however protrude slightly less in its entirety compared to the volume up one.
After going over everything very carefully it seems I have only two minor issues:
IR blaster cover is a tiny bit misaligned on the right side
On the lower left-hand and upper right-hand corners of the screen the polycarbonate has a small dent you can only see in a certain light
Very satisfied in general, it seems very solid. I do worry however that there might get dust in-between the face and aluminium unibody parts.
Hi Guys,
I have A Gold S7 Edge and I have noticed recently that the front camera of the device is a little off.
The lens is not centered but the main part being misaligned is the position of the camera module itself.
As you can see in the picture, the black rim around the camera module which is supposed to be even is not even, it is more thicker at the bottom and relatively thinner at the top which makes it look like it has an ugly gap at the left side and bottom side.
Am I being OCD about it or is it really defective?
Please tell me it is normal as from the 2-3 devices that I saw in a store the black rim around them were even so I don't know if it should be this way :/
Yep, me too. But to tell you the truth... I've never realized until I saw your post. Not going to lose my mind for it. But, I've attached a picture to let you know you're not alone, hahaha. Cheers!

Is the rim even or does it have a gap on either of the sides?
Having said that i case in my scenario since my phone is gold, the gap of the black rim is more evident

Since we are at it... While I was looking at my phone I found that my SIM/SD tray is a little bit downwards on the opposite side of the pin-hole. I'll attach a picture. Does anyone have something like this?

Thats normal don't worry I have the same.
How about the black rim around your front camera module?

To tell the truth I didn't even realized but it's a little bit down and to the left. But it doesn't have any effect as far as I've noticed.

Are you referring to the camera lens or the module as the lens being up or down is pretty common while the whole module being off centered is rare which then creates a black gap, so which one are you referring to?
