My experience so far..
Very disappointed in my experience with the Canadian Desire HD, I don't know what HTC are thinking seriously..here are the issues I had between 3 devices... dead pixels on the first two, third one has a misaligned lcd with the housing and the front speaker is tilted a bit as well, camera ring and lense became loose on the second day.. the volume rocker on the side is flushed, also experiencing crackling during calls every 10 seconds or so. Also the usb port in the bottom is tilted left.. please people check your phone as this is ridiculous.. other problems like flush power button, blurry camera photos on the sides, and dust under screen. Also speaker is a huge let down.. not the loudness it is loud enough but is just bad quality sound ( tin like with no depth mid base etc.) I came from and x10 and did not have a single issue with anything like the above. This is really unacceptable ... I wonder how many devices have any of this issues. Or is it just me that is really unlucky and got 3 faulty devices..
Just a little update - returned the phone to the store and the lady took out 2 more, checked both...both with dead pixels she took out another 2 first one camera lens again moving checked the last one they had and it was perfect!!! No moving lens no dead pixel, screen was aligned properly so i got it and left to go home, on the way i stopped at Tim Hortons to get a coffee and while waiting at the drive through i picked up the phone and what do i see.....a small lint behind the lcd with a few specs of dust..whiped the screen a few times checked again, double checked and triple checked and i couldnt believe it i was furious and the lint was visible on picures and everything went back to the store and got a full refund. Now i will give it a last chance at a different store in a close by city hopefully they got a better batch and if it still has problems i will give up and wait for the Arc to come out. So mad , i cant believe this not one not two but like 5-6 devices all with some kind of problem...
Update - i got another one from a city nearby so far its all good none of the problems i mentioned. Just waiting for the morning to see the screen under sunlight but it looks good now. I wonder if the problem with the dust is when they sealed the phone they sealded with the dust in between or is it just not sealed properly and the dust can get in at any time?? I hope it is sealed properly..dont want to find dust after the 14 day return period lol. Is there anyone on here that has had the device for longer period or a previous HTC and didnt have dust under the screen?
Update - this one seems to be good, checked under sunlight and everything is ok, all the other phones i mentioned above were from the same store so maybe they got a really bad batch.

I bought my TELUS Desire HD a week after it came out, and I have had not one problem with it.
no problems with my htc desire HD..
Jeez, that's quite a few problems. Go return it and get a replacement.
I have absolutely no problems with mine, been just awesome.
Same with me, no problems or whatsoever. Just get a replacement, might be a faulty batch if you ask me. Tell them to give you the newest one.
I agree with getting a replacement. I've seen the front speaker housing misalignment on someone elses phone and it does look rather unattractive.
Nothing to complain about my dhd......loving it!!!

The only thing that's actually annoying me about my DHD is the frame around the display. It's a bit higher than the display iteslf and everytime you swype beyond the edges of the device you can feel the improper processing.
But I learned to live with that *sigh*.
Apart from that everything is fine with my device!

Yeah, I've got a crooked speaker bar.. looks bad.. hopefully the case that I ordered would hide it. Mine is an Inspire 4G (AT&T).

No!! That's not a fault. It was designed like that because Desire HD has turn to mute. So they have raised it to prevent any damages caused to the screen when the phone is turned.

I had my DHD exchanged five time.two had dead pixel and the others varius problems like lcd and the lens not correctly aligned.All of them had dust under screen, including the last one.
I won't exchange it anymore and unfortunately I cannot get a refund.
I'm waiting for the LG optimus X2 .I hope the quality will be better.
i got my one from telus
it doesnt seem like there are thing wrong like you claim
maybe you should exchange for a new one
the top right of my screen seems to be a tiny bit out compared tot he rest of the sreec. I only noticed it one day when i was playing a game and touched the screen, could kinda feel it move a tiny little bit.
I got mine from telus and it works well, and as for the problem with the edges, I have an otterbox defender case on it so its even more pronounced.

That's a feature of the phone, it protects the screen from possible scratches when placed faced down on a table or desk to silence it as part of sense.

I'm fearing the worst, but I thought I'd come and see if anyone had the same problem or a possible fix...
Basically a few times I have absent mindedly put my phone in my back pocket and then sat on it! The screen has not broken or cracked, however when I have removed it from my pocket there is a dark black mark that gradually grows smaller and then disappears. I thought nothing more of it until the phone was rebooting the next time, when I noticed on the brilliant white HTC loading screen a small white spot. As I mentioned before, I've accidentally done this a few times and now have a number of these white spots that are only noticeable when the screen is white.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? And more importantly is it fixable?
cheers
ClownShoes
if it's LCD screen, could be permanent... I dunno.
could be damaged lcd
lucky u havnt cracked it when sitting on it like what i did to my ipod. but on my old omnia i also have bright white spot on the screen
I had the same problem and I think is not because of you sat on it. I got it too but without miss treat the phone, so I went to HTC and they changed a new lcd for me.
i have the same marks on my bootscreen also thought it comes from pressure..
If it is the LCD that is damaged, does anyone know if it will be expensive to get replaced? I've just bought the Galaxy S and this is killing my chances of selling my HD2 for much

depends on how you define "expensive".
yea, LCD is one of the most expensive components of a phone, I'm afraid.
Pressure damage
Yo Peeps
Same happened to mine. Back pocket idiocy.
I fly quite often and when the plane reaches 30000 feet the mark disappears completely. I tried opening mine but I't not worth the risk since the screen still works perfectly (touch as well) and I live in South Africa where the HD2 is barely available (I bought mine in Germany). Also when you twist the screen the mark grows/shrinks.
If anyone finds some smart solution please post. Although the phone works perfectly it's rather sad to have such a beautiful screen stained.
Ive also got this problem. I've had it for the last 2 months. I can only notice it on white screens and its barely noticable then. I can't be bothered sending it off because its so mild. I keep my phone in my front pocket and im miffed as to how it happened though.

ive also got 2 white spots and its visible in white background.
Never dropped it or sat on it.
Its always taken care of and kept in leather case.
Like above poster, i cant be bothered sending it back as im fromi australia and bought it from Handtec UK.
i also have 3 white spots visible on white screens... its really anoying seing this white spots...
I had it on mine too!They replaced the LCD.I've waited 1 mounth.
Damaged
HTC state that my phone is damaged and I have to pay for repair
HTC want £178.68 to replace the MB and send it back to me.
I haven't paid yet as I spent £500 on the phone when it was launched.
When you pay that much you look after it.
It's in my jeans front pocket ( not tight ) most of the time, on a glass bedside table when home and if I take it into the bathroom I wrap it in a towel to ensure no moisture damage.
Look at my phone screen ( image was taken on a webcam not good quality )
The screen was like this from as early as I can remember but put up with it until now.
I have the same problem as U guys. those spots really annoy me. If you find out how to fix it it would be awesome. I woluld send it to htc but i bought mine on polish ebay and i found out that its blocked in uk (report as stolen and sell) i have got a buying proof but i dont know they will accept this. what you guys think?
Hello!
I have the same problems. A few white marks on the screen. I don't have warranty and i hope's to fix that problem by myself.If anyone have an answer please post it!!! Tnx guys, this is my first message on this forum.
Have the same.. It actually seems like the backlight led underneath the spot (on the bottom of the screen) is actually brighter than the rest..
I also started noticing a white spot on the middle of my screen as of a month now. Had the phone as of november last year, and really, this annoys me.
Nothing bad happened to my phone.
Does anyone know whether this is covered by warranty or not? I'd say once more white spots appear something must be wrong in the design/hardware of the phone and HTC should fix it. For free.
isnt it a dead pixel or something ?
like with computer/tv screens.
and a lcd screen with digitizer inc shipping costs something like 87 euro.
its pretty easy to replace by yourself if you use the step by step movie from HTC
ive done it last week and was working again in 20 minutes
(screen cracked btw)
Where do you buy the LCD screen with digitizer? Because now I have white spot marks + my touchscreen isn't even working. I think my digitizer is broken..
i have bought mine on ebay.com
most of them comming from hongkong , its not listed anymore in my ebay account because i bought it more then 60 days ago.
i know i was lazy to fit it earlyer haha
htc hd2 screen or htc hd2 lcd etc
you will find them, just watch for the shipping costs.
they have a custom to rip you off with it
goodluck
Hey all. Just got my desire hd today from carphone warehouse. I love this handset! Best phone I've ever had by a country mile! Only problem is its got something trapped inbetween the screen and digitizer. Looks like dust or a small shard of metal. Really disappointed. I know the desire had this problem but just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem with their hd. It's really annoying as I can't take my eyes of it when using the phone, especially when the screen is on a white background. What do you think peeps, should I return it? , after all I've got it for 2 years.

definitely take it back and get a fresh one, if they don't have any in stock I guess you'll have to be patient, but you can't accept faulty goods.
Yeah, that was my thoughts too. Just don't want to come across ocd! . Love the phone but build quality on these things should be better considering the price of them. Used a hero for the last 18 months and never had any screen issues.

Hey guys. Seems most of the posts were deleted during the "clean up". I contacted the mod to get this thread back but it appears half of it is missing. Anyway got my replacement today and It's perfect. Apart from all the known issues!
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I got this issue either, and I can't keep my eyes off it!
I propably going back to the shop with it to get a new one, because I just got it a day.
But i'm afraid that they won't see it, because my mother can't see it either.
So maybe I need to ignore it, but will be hard for me
One of the biggest failures of the original Desire in my opinion was the dust that got in under the screen. For an example of the one I sent back with this problem have a look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTF0fFN5Y60
Now I would HOPE that HTC have learned from this and rectified the problem but I have just been looking at the ads on eBay and noticed this in one of the item descriptions:
"The unit i have at the moment has 1 speck of dust under the screen and i am receiving a replacement unit this week, so the one you will be buying will be brand new"
Seems with this and the experiences of users here that HTC have not resolved this problem after all. A HUGE disappointment as there is no way I could put up with this once I know the dust is there even if it's only visible in certain lighting conditions!
I got one small black dot of dust under my glass. Thought it was a dead pixel at first, but its too high for that upon examination.
May take it back since I paid a lot of money for it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
same i also have just 1 speck at the top right corner, not sure if ill bother replacing, but i do also have a dead pixel at the bottom right corner so its defintely tempting..
I have had many HTC devices over the years and a few have had problems with dust ingress. especially my topaz and c500 where very bad.
The problem was bad sealing around the volume rocker, is this the same problem? or maybe dust has been induced during manufacture of phone?
well mine had dust under the screen from straight out of the box and it wasn't anywhere near the volume rocker

i had the same experience. bought a desire z and after a few weeks a lot of dust has accumulated on the top part of the scree. so i sold it and got a desire hd, im not sure if there were two speck of dusts on top of the screen but now there are. im trying to stop being an oc and fidgeting about these things but i am quite disappointed. had 5 htc phones and this is the first time i experienced this. hopefully it wont get worse.

I'm the same way. I have the smallest piece of dust you could ever see (like half of a pixel). It's actually opposite the volume buttons, and right on the edge where if it was one pixel over to the right more, it would be off the visible screen. You can't even notice it unless you have a pure white background, but I know it's there, and it annoys me. Also after three months with my DHD I just noticed when the screen is on, and I look at the black boarder around the screen (I have to sort of angle it in the light), the right side seems to be off just a bit (there is more screen boarder in between the right side of the screen and the outer black boarder than there is on the left). Like the alignment of the under screen is tilted a bit, but when I have horizontal or vertical lines on the screen, they all line up perfect, and none are cut off like what my eyes would think they would be, so it seems like an optical illusion. Just me and my OCD.
last night i was surfing some pages, when i noticed a yellow stain/spot at the right side, near to the top of my screen.
this morning when i looked at it again, i frist thought it was gone, but after some usage, it came back.
taking a closer look, i saw, that the slcd foil(?) under the glass has bend a little bit, what seems to be the reason for this yellow stain. i think it might be a heat problem, since it was gone this morning, but came back after some usage.
i also think it might have to do with using navigation, since my nexus really gets hot while using that.
anyway i will bring it to the shop, but i'd like to know if there were others experiencing this..
here two pics attached (the stain can't be seen that good on a picture).
You sure it wasn't dropped?

yeah, in all those 6 months, that i have it, i never dropped it.
I've also 2 yellow stains,on the left and the right of the lcd on my slcd i9023.I guess it has something to do with heat,because in winter when I've bought it ,it was ok,now in summer the yellow stains appeared.Next week I;ll send the phone to Vodafone service in my country,and I hope it will be exchanged.

That sucks. I hate dealing with hardware issues. Good luck getting it fixed.
After 1 week in service,today I've received back my Nexus S i9023 with a new slcd fitted.No more yellow staints,I hope it will remain the same a few month at least.
Cheers
hello, I am also having the same problem, the same yellow stain has appeared on my right side but i don't have the "warped" lcd as in the first photo... It is definitively a heat problem because i noticed the "stain" when i was downloading on wifi while plugged in and that part of the screen was far hotter then the rest of the screen...maybe some chip under it running hot.
The thing is i got the phone new 6 months ago from ebay so no warranty and my concern is, what guarantee do i have that after i change the screen, that the problem won't appear again? Does anybody know if there is a fix eighter for the screen now or something to prevent it from happening again to my new screen? Could it be a manufacturing problem of the screen itself?
It doesn't seem that this issue is common..Also does the spot spread?
Thanks for taking the patience to read and for any answers.
Today I noticed the exact same problem in the same part of the screen, and I also noticed the foil being bent at that part of the screen. Its perfectly visible under a certain light angle. Being on the exact same spot as your problem, I suppose that it is some chip under that part of the screen causing the problem. I think I also has to do with the fact that the screen is curved... anyway, I cannot return mine for a new one, I hope people in the local service shops will be able to provide me with a fix. Too bad that such a cool phone like the Nexus S suffers from so much problems (I also had the proximity sensor problem that caused screen to remain black sometimes when the phone rings without a way to see who is calling). I will go for one of the new nokia handsets.
Another one here with the same problem on the upper right corner...
I have the phone 8 months now and I am sure that yellow stain wasn't there from the beggining but now it's quite visible especially with white font for ex. when browsing... Also in a specific angle the foil of the screen in that place is visible too...
Same problem on the right corner on top. If its in guarantee they will fix it for free?

My worries, I got the phone in a promotion (huge discount) afraid that if I returned it they will give my money back and I can't get any similar phone for the same money (I really like/need this device)... in the other hand, it might get worse than it is and unusable
Are you guys running custom kernels?
Nope
my problem is that when i received my device i found a small bend (like if a small ball hit the screen )on the down button of the screen , it wasn't noticeable even if you move you`re finger across it , then several days a go I was working hard on the device and it got really hot and suddenly i noticed a yellow thing on the screen same place as the bends locate ,
the yellow thing will go after the screen cools down
any idea what is that yellow thing
if any one have any idea how to fix it I would appreciate that
Thank you allot

Dude I have the exact thing wrong with mine. When its hot I get a really ugly yellow ring there too. Rest of the screen is fine but hasn't dissipated in two weeks.
The bad news is that either you play the play store lottery and end up with a worse device or you do the same with lg. I was going to get mine repaired, or rather have the screen replaced by lg rather than get yet another exchange but another person said that lg charged the repair cost and shipped a new phone. I don't know if the replacement is a refurb but it would make sense. The whole point for me with lg doing the warranty repair is to not get a different phone. Everything about my phone is awesome. I think we might have no choice unless you just want to keep it. I was going to but the ring drives me nuts. It is very visible in a sea of white.

it is hard to ignore the problem , the device is fantastic
but what is that yellow spot
is it glue ?
how does glue reached the middle of the screen :silly:
Well the whole screen is glued to the touchscreen. The glue is thicker in that area because of the deformation in the glass. The person or robot pushed too hard when the panel was installed or glued and thus it dried unevenly. I got an order in for yet another RMA but the situation really pisses me off. My last is faster binned, perfect speaker and battery and everything else. Hardly any rattle, etc. When the RMA replacement ships I'm still going to call the lg warranty number and see if there's an option to replace my actual screen rather than getting a replacement. I seriously doubt they will scrutinize a device, even one they have repaired through refurbishment, as much as an anal retentive owner like myself will. I'll let you know if I find anything out. Knowing my abysmal record with the play store, my next will be worse than this one.

The phone has been out for most of us just little over a month and there have been many reports about front/rear glass cracking, so now I made this poll to see how many people actually have/had problems with their device.
Please note that this poll is only about hardware problems, so don't vote yes if you only had software related problems, thank you.
To be clear:
Vote yes: If you had glass cracking (with/without) a reason, flaps not closing properly, phone not being waterproof, etc
Vote no: If you had no problems, software related problems
Bump!
Don't forget to vote!
I voted yes due to a way too sensitive touchscreen - putting a screenprotector on however solves the problem, but I take it that it is the out of the box product we have to vote about...
(To the - right now 13 persons - who have voted no - does this also mean that you don't have the popping issue when pressing the screen? Or is this looked at as a feature...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JrfMjiNB9E)
Nope. I've had nothing wrong with the phone, no "popping", no "glass breaking" even though I accidentally did drop it today.
Nothing. I'm convinced most of you are playing baseball with your phones, or just being extremely picky.
Not any problem at all. This phone lives up to its expectations but i also keep it protected with case though.
i had the phone for 3 weeks. i bought a magnetic charger and was using that. last week i went to take the charger off the phone and the whole magnetic charging "module" came out of the phone with the charger. it's currently back at sony for repair - i'm really hoping they just send me a new one though. that was a fun discovery. anyway, no problems with glass or anything like that in the time i had it, though.
Not a single problem so far.
Btw, good initiative!
However, I think that since only people with glass issues post that on the forum, it's not surprising that it looks as if it's a major problem.

Yeah, that's the main reason why I made this poll, due to so 'many' people reporting issues with their phones it might scare people off that intend to buy the phone.

Hmmm could there be a connection between the popping screens and the very sensitive screens? Mine has the popping and also a screen that sometimes during internet scrolling has a life of its own speedscrolling up to the top of homepages when lifting the finger from the screen - an issue I have never ever had before on any of my many previus phones...???

I would assume that more then 42 people have this phone on this forum.
The plastic frame is so weak, i drop once and inside the frame its cracked . After that i use a case then dropped again this time between part of the plastic frame n front glass a piece of part came out. Rest is very good. No prob at all.

hello,
"Z3 Compact" bought the 28.09.2014. The phone is turned off itself in the middle of the day in my pocket. The battery level was approx. 75% => Black screen, not even light on the charger...:S
The Sony support told me to send them with charger and usb cable.
I am waiting for news... approx. 10 days...
NO issues so far... put a tempered glass screen protector on the phone pretty soon after buying it, but I never saw any screen popping or "life of its own" syndrom while I had the screen unprotected.
no issues so far , i had some bad experience with singapore firmware , but its all good now (using latest brazil firmware).
i did drop it a week ago , tempered glass cracked abit , phone also got abit of a spank on the top right corner, still water proof.
all good just no ****ing root
Sudden Death after two weeks.
Had this awesome phone since October 3rd. All fine and dandy till now, the vibration would work sometimes. It comes and goes but it's no biggie, I can live with it!
Gyroscope defect
Yes.
I had the phone for only 3 days and the phone suddenly stop rotating. I did a factory restore and even trying running the system test. Compass test tells me function is not available. Sony says it might be a hardware issue so I had to send it to Sony to get it fixed.
My mic has become strange. People say that I sound like I'm a mila away from it.
