I am really enjoying my Aria. However, the back doesn't fit just right. It can flex back & forth. It just doesn't feel solid. I've owned HTC phones before & the build quality is usually tight. So, is this an issue w/my phone or is yours a bit 'squishy' too?

Mine is slightly loose at the top and squeaks when moving it. Probably happened from sticking my nail in there so many times to remove the cover.
Mine too. This is a design flaw. Damn.

it is a design flaw... I got 2 Arias and both are the same, once you remove the cover more than 1 time.. it will become that way... what I did was to put a little piece of paper on that corner and there is no play what so ever...

ya i've used that trick on every phone i've owned, works like a charm
Aha -- interesting! I never thought of a little paper shim. Thanks for the advice.
I was just wondering about this the other day. I guess I will try the paper trick.
I also have a squeaky back cover, as well as my volume up button being a little hard to press.. Where exactly would I put a little piece of paper?!
Thanks!

I wrapped the yellow edge inside the phone with scotch tape creating a very tight seal that is invisible

Interesting. Did you cover the bumps that hold the back cover on as well?

AHA, the little piece of paper on the corner did the trick, thanks for the tip!
I'm lucky I suppose. I've taken my back cover off dozens of times and there's no play at all.
Hey guys,
I have noticed that there is a speck of light coming out of my phone around where the soft buttons are and the HTC logo.
Is this wide spread?

Any help?

Either I'm blind or it's nothing there
It looks like a stuck pixel on a screen. I circled it in red.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I don't have this speck and I wouldn't worry about it, it's hardly visible in the pic you took and there's no way you'd get a replacement for such a tiny (for want of a better word) "defect"!
I saw an evo4g had the same issue, any way i can get the screen glass replaced, its pretty irritating
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
technically its a 'defect' its not related to dead pixels its an actual defect i reckon if you kick up a fuss you could get it exchanged
the retailer would probably just resell it tho.
if it were me id be sending off emails with images ect and try and push for an exchange
Dont want to be rude:
But this is pretty silly!
Im sure you would find it an issue if you kept noticing it.

yeah i agree i bought a monitor once and it had 1 stuck yellow pixel it didnt qualify as a defect because there was only 1 but it annoyed me so much i kept complaining and kicking up a stink from where i bought it till they eventually replaced it. imo if you got it from a store go down and complain it would def annoy me
Cant really do much as im in australia and imported from the UK. Ill probably just pay to get the screen replaced. Just wanted to know if any others experienced the same issue with the
DHD.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i have the same issue
I have it not always noticeable but i know its there. Also have a bit of defect in the plastic screen at the top left corner same thing really I just get on with it. I'll probably drop it in the sink at some point and get a new one from insurance or it will get broken at some point anyway with such a big screen

Hi,
I have the screen lift issue and when opening my Nexus up I see I have two screws missing. Searching around I've read they are 3.2 mm Phillips screws with M1.4 thread. I know nothing about screws and have tried searching google with no luck. Does anyone know where I can buy these so I can try and replace my missing ones? The guy at HMV said their stock is all the same shipment so if I get a replacement it's most likely to have the same issue.
Any hardware shop. B&Q for example.

Asus apparently decided your screen attachment is better without those two screws, and you are going to replace them. Why?

Put them in and watch that screen rise even more
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
really? So the only fix is the glue? I thought as some seem to be fixing their screen lift by tightening the screws it would work. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Give it a shot if you want, sod putting glue anyway near my screen, if its that bad take it back

The screen lift isn't too bad more worried about it getting worse in the future. I'm thinking about returning it but my Nexus is perfect bar this lift and with all the issues being reported I'm worried I'll get one with even more issues.

Hi
Has any one use this screen protector?
I was about to buy it buy i noticed it did not have a front sensor opening, it only has one for camera.
Problem is i bought one before that covered the sensor and once a call came in the screen would not turn back on when i finished the call.
So please if any one has some experience with this one please share with me your experience. Thanks
Here is a video review by ctscloud, thank him. link below.

If i remember correctly my last phone had one of those on it for a while, and it had that awful screen door effect.It wasn't really noticeable on color but when you had a white background it could really drive you nuts. I ended up peeling it off in the end because it got on my nerves so bad when looking at web pages.Spend the extra cash and get a quality one. (XOskins, Skinomi, BSE, etc)
What is a "screen door" effect?
I ordered an XtremeGuard but haven't received it yet.

But basically you can see like little squares in the phone screen like a screen door.
You see the fine line separating the pixels.

Thanks for the pik bro. Let me know how it turns out. If u get screen effect.

I bought a series of them, but they are the most disappointing screen protectors ever. I'm quite experienced in applying screen protectors and didn't have any trouble applying these protectors, but every single time the top left corner detached from the screen after ~2 weeks. Furthermore: the feel is extremely "plasticcy", and after removing the protectors I noticed that the screen gets a lot less responsive to touch when they're on.
My advice: stay away from the Xtreme guard protectors!
I just installed it last night. I don't like it. Finger don't slide smoothly, kind of sticking to the screen.
Fit is pretty good, and its matte finish. But I can't use it, feels no good.
i have no problems with mine. All of the cuts are perfect and it looks clean imo. I got the full coverage for 3 bucks during a special 70% off sale.
though they are cheap you don't get much but just the screens in the mail. (You get what you paid for)
what i did to install it was i had left over Zagg solution from a previous phone and applied it to the screen.
then i used a hair blow dryer while using a squeegee to remove all the water from under the screen.

I installed it last night. Just after installed, it got an incredible orange peel effect, however in the instructions it says to wait at least 8hs dry before turning the phone on. So I led it off all the night and this morning most of that effect disappeared. It still has some bubbles (not with air, I think is water, is what caused the orange peel effect before, just that now they are far from each other). So, I will wait until tomorrow to see if this disappear before writing a verdict. If these bubbles do not disappear, I'm afraid I'll have to remove it.
The responsiveness of the screen didn't change.
The plasticity fell I guess will also disappear when the remaining bubbles disappear.
I'll keep you posted.

I've used these xtremeguards on my previous phones because they were cheap but I was never satisfied with them...meh
Bought the body kit that gives sp for the front and back and after a week I decided to go back to skinomi.
Looks like everyone has had trouble with them. Ill wait for his verdict and make my decision... Any ways thanks every one.

I've had mine on my n4 for about a week now. You can't even tell that there's a screen protector on it just by looking. It basically looks perfect. However I will say that it definitely feels weird.

Just to keep you posted. After 24hs of having applied the protectors, the back one is almost perfect, with only 2 or 3 bubbles here and there, but they aren't too noticeable. The front protector have some more bubbles but definitely less than this morning.
The feeling is really plastic.
Overall, I think this will protect the screen, but it isn't good looking. I think I will keep it until I get the flip leather case that I ordered, then I will remove the front one (the one at the back doesn't bother me at all, so I'll keep that).
Will see, maybe for the time when I receive the case I already get used to it. :/

I'm just curious, has anyone ever gotten their Nexus letters at the back removed, as in the shiny black vinyl that covers them? The letters N, E and X were completely peeled off in my case in a matter of weeks when I was holding it, along with the adhesive.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope, but I've had a case on it since day 1...:thumbup:
Odd. Hasn't happened to me. (Happened to every BlackBerry Curve 8520 I had, though. Damn, that phone sucked.)
Wonder if it's affected by how you hold it. Definitely return it anyway.
Wait, I didn't even know that could happen, I though they were like part of the plastic.
You got a picture of it?
Do you have a wireless charger?
I have one and I have noticed that after charging it is kind of warm on the back and I have to wipe some kind of stain around some off the letters. Now that you mention your letters falling off it gets me
thinking that the glue could be melting away or something.
My N7 is only 7 weeks old and I'm using a Fatboy pillow for charging.

I had this same problem just a few days ago I noticed like a sticky residue seeping from the letters on the back and part of the letter lifting. I just removed all the sticker and cleaned away the sticky residue 'see attached pic' I actually prefer it without glued on sticky letters. Looks good I think.

I use the wireless charging feature as well - no issues, and it spends all night - every night - on the charger.
I didn't know that there was plastic in the letters to make it shiny. When mine finally fall out on their own, I think I'll get some model paint and paint the letters in white. Or maybe bright red. Just to be different.
Really? They fall? lol, I though they were pretty much part of the case :b

Wow I didn't even know this was possible. Makes me not want to use wireless charging if it's going to destroy the design of my device.

Been using wireless charging from the day I got it and the letters are still firmly on there. Touchscreen though, now thats another issue.

Yup, it looks like this. I was thinking about removing the rest so it looks uniform again the hollow letters do look nice, though. I don't own a wireless charger so I don't think that's the issue.

No wireless charging here either it's just glued on stickers that are losing stick over time as they heat and cool.
I'ts just like black tape.
Sure it looked cool glossy but doesnt bother me, I just picked out my letters with my nail and cleaned it up.
I like the 'indented' look nexus on the back.
What assembly dates do you have on yours? Perhaps they just changed to a less strong glue or even applied less glue due to the first batches problem of stains/glue residue.
