There's no paint on the X10 outside of the chrome ridges.
But yes, I noticed some chipping where I dropped the phone once. Other than that, nope.
my black x10 is loosing some paint around the notch to remove the battery :-(

Oh! Maybe you got a fake one! Ho! Ho! I've seen some fake ones while I was traveling in the East. Does your unit say's Made in China?
I got directly from a Rogers store... anyways it happens near the 2 top corners on the x10 for me. That part is now grey instead of white...

You mean the top front two corners? On my case, they are worn out, but on the phone itself, nothing. The chrome seems like it's cheap and is gone completely where I dropped the phone on the bottom, but other than that, no changes at all.
I can't think of anything except if you wear incredibly tight jeans and you're constantly inserting and removing it from your pockets. That seems to be how my case is getting worn out, heh.
Get a gel silicone case. Flexible and good to grip and hold like a soft gel case, with the protection and durability of a hard case. only 10$
also i heard that the chrome is actually plastic, can anyone confirm this. I remember reading it somewhere in one of those x10 disassemble threads.
I've had the x10 since release in the UK. It's my main phone, I don't use a case and am not that careful (although haven't dropped it on anything hard yet). I wear jeans all the time and there is no wear on the corners at all.
Looking closely at the phone, I think it's moulded black plastic and so I doubt it can get discoloured. The chrome I know can get chipped (someone on ebay sold me an x10 they had dropped, labelled as new, had to return for refund), so be careful with that. However, it hasn't worn down or anything on my phone.
It's not the Chrome part, its the corners on the front and it is turning grey

I've noticed 4 distinct 'scuffs' or 'stains' that appear to be under my glass. I don't know how else to describe them. I didn't notice them when I first got the phone, but you can only see them at a good angle where there's no glare, so the may have always been there. Now I can't *not* notice them. I'll try to post a picture tonight, it's a bit hard to photograph. I think if someone has it they would know what I'm talking about...
Does it kind of look like a gel substance underneath the glass?

Hmmm maybe.. if I took a micro-drop of gel or glue and pressed it.... i'll try to post a pic later tonight.
its the oleophobic coating peeling off i think
Okay here are two pics of two of these things. I have four of them. I scratch and rub them and nothing, as if they are just beneath the surface...
From what I'm seeing it just looks like a scuff or scratch. I had a palm pixie before and it had the same markings on it.. Idk what it is.

I had something similar on my previous Nexus S. I think it's made from steam settling under glass.
I am on my second handset (Sprint) San Antonio, TX and both have had screen issues... I did notice something quite similar to your issue on my current handset but mine resides closer to the ear piece and camera... besides that I'm also experiencing the keyboard ghosting issue very visible when I open my notification menu.... I'm kinda hesitant to get a replacement since thus far my screens issues have only doubled ...

He is correct, mine is doing the same thing. Look at it this way, at least the top of your screen isn't separating, mine flexes'and'goes up and down under minimal pressure and makes all kinds of noise, its weird.

I think this seems to be the most likely scenario from my google research and comparison of other pics. Ugh. Hopefully it won't get worse. What's the replacement/repair policy? Call Samsung or take it to Best Buy ? It's been over 30 days.
Definitely not scuff marks, I keep the thing in a sock and treat it like gold.
I am currently on hold waiting for a rep at Samsung.....it has been 1 hour and 45 minutes and I have not talked to anyone... so if calling Samsung is what you opt to do ... get yourself a samwich and a six pack before hand!!
So I finally got through to a rep.... and they said...
JK... I gave up after 5 hour hold.(seriously) ...and decided the issue was minimal at this point

I have similar problems, except it'll only show if I breath moist air on to it. If you cover it up with a decent screen protector, it should go away unless the mark is really deep.
This is how my friends Black htc one looks after throwing it in and out of her purse (with keys and other obvious hazards in a separate area) after 5 days.
It's just like iPhone 5's scuffgate

Why? All hazards like loose change and keys are kept in a separate side compartment.
There's not much in the purse pocket it goes into besides leather wallet, and some lipstick which has a plastic exterior
My black One is still in great condition only two very very little marks at the top edge, barely noticeable and easily covered by using a black marker. I don't baby my phone anymore as I did in the first few days, but I don't deliberately risk scratching it by sharing the same pocket with other hard object either.
I know it will stand my daily use well without needing a case.

sometimes i really wonder about the intelligence level of some XDA users
Actually there are some reviews of early iPhone 5s in black where apparently the surface was so fragile you could write your name in the black surface on the back using a fingernail! I think the One doesn't suffer quite at that level, but it will chip. Still, any phone thrown in a bag with all sorts of bits and pieces is asking for trouble if you are expecting to remove it still in pristine condition!
The One S had similar issues with the ARC finish if I recall correctly.
Those are chips. So throwing a phone in a bag/purse cannot cause that. Has to hit the ground or she dropped it and didn't know or something.

Do you really think it is neccessary to use abusive language on a tech forum and do you think we lett it pass?

The htc One does not have MAO coating as seen on htc one s, it's only anodized silver.So it does not have the same chipping issue but because silver is soft, hitting on hard object will still leave a mark.

Yes, agree, my wife is like the op lady who doesn't really look after her phone well, she drops it, throws it, forgets where she left it all the time, they are just normal people using their phone. We all know putting One with coins, keys will damage it, and I think that will be all.
However, like I did to my wife's phone, I would suggest simply getting a good tpu case, then you are good to abuse the phone.

I think you'll find it's made of an anodised aluminium alloy, not silver, and is harder than silver.
I think there is little doubt at this point that the black finish isn't as well suited to standing up to the rigours of daily as the silver version. Paul Obrien's black one got scuffed up without being dropped on hard surfaces quite quickly, and lord knows I will trust his experience more than most of the forumers here.

Oh, my bad, I meant aluminum, which, is silver colour, of course not silver the metal it would be too expensive

Well, I wouldn't just conclude on that, because as a black One owner, my One is holding up quite well, and as I said, I don't baby my phone anymore, but will still take good care of it.
I think it's in the end down to personal preference, one thing we cannot argue is that aluminum is soft and it will get marks if you don't look after it, see iPhone 5 as a living example, so when it gets scratched, the underlying silver colour will be more noticeable on black phone than on a silver phone, so black owners naturally take the risk. However, a simple permanent black marker will do a perfect job of covering those marks.
Both silver and black share the same coating, anodized aluminum, so in terms of vulnerability of scratching, they are the same, only difference is noticeability (is it a word? Well you get my point.)

I am correcting myself here, in terms of the back of the phone, both black and silver have anodized aluminum but the chambered edge does not. It may just be painted in black on black One and exposed natural silver on silver One. So yes, the chambered edge if scratched on black One may look nasty. But again, only if you don't take good care of your phone.

It does please me that the OP seems to have taken these pictures with a Brownie.

Don't put your phone in a purse. Simple as that. God knows what's in there. There could be a whole sandy beach at the bottom.
Is it just me or does that look like a black HTC One dummy unit and not a real phone? The black dummy units don't have actual holes cut for the speaker grills, just little faded paint dots, which is what that looks like. I would think the speaker holes would look a lot darker in the pictures if they were actually holes. The dummy units have way crappier build quality so that would totally invalidate the findings.

Hello all, I just wanted to share this with everyone. I'm loving my black one, it's absolutely perfect! At least, that's what I thought until 30 minutes ago. As you can see in the title I've been having some problems with my black one. I know there already is a thread "black one not suitable for daily use", or something similar, but a lot of posts in that thread are being treated as trolls and this is a bIt different (no dents or chipping in the corners like the others, but on the back itself)
First of all, it attracts fingerprints VERY easily. Though this is a known problem and I knew this before actually receiving it (and it isn't such a big issue for me), it is worth mentioning (again) for people who still can't decide between silver and black. For me personally, this issue is completely worth it as black is BEAUTIFUL.
Second, a bigger issue, the black is coming off. I've had it for two days (just two!!!) and I can see silver. These are just dots, and they look just like dust. At first I even thought it was dust, but that was until I tried to clean it (first with my shirt, that didn't help so then I grabbed a moist cloth, which didn't work either so I then made the already moist cloth a bit wetter. No difference! hell, I even tried soap that's how desperate I am ). I will attach a photo, but it isn't very good quality because I made it using my One and a dirty mirror. Everything I didn't circle is dust, so you can see how much it looks like dust.
Now you're probably wondering what the hell I did with it, and the answer is completely nothing abnormal. I kept it in the official case when it was going in my pocket or when I was outside, and it got out of the case in it's full glory when at home and at work during breaks. I didn't drop it, it was in my pocket with nothing else (well, just the case), and I have been extremely careful with it, I didn't even let others hold it for more than a minute. What I'm gonna do now is look if it really really really isn't just dust with some more cleaning, then I'll look if a permanent marker hides it and either way I'll buy a skin for it (not a case, I already have one, and my pouch is still on its way, but a skin like a screen protector but for the back too) any suggestions for a good one?
Anyway, this is a warning for anyone considering/owning the back wish me luck with hiding the silver!

Yea I read that too, but my concern is that it will be another color (slightly darker/lighter) and still be noticeable. Ah well, still better than silver dots on black but it still shouldn't happen IMO. I'm starting to think the case is the cause, because it now has 2 more of those dots after taking it out of the case again

Totally agree that it shouldn't happen, especially just taking it out of a case. I have decided not to have a case for the first time ever, if I get scratches then so be it, adds character to the phone

Wow! Ok I'll be honest at first I thought the issue is only happening on the speaker grill but seeing this. If anyone other than you posted some more issues like this then I am gonna be quite dissappointed on the anodization process of HTC now. Production issue is a good reason for having thin anodized layers but this thin is already way too bad.
I will still be giving HTC a benefit of the doubt here considering that you're the 1st one to post this. It could be a factory defect or there must be some specs of hard object in the case/pocket big enough to damage the back.
Do you have the double dip case? If so, the case's hard plastic inner section can scratch the phone when going on or coming off. Or, as the other user suggests, ensure you don't have dust ir sand particles in your case.
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2
The double dip case is awful it gets sand and grit in it very easily. I have managed to scratch my silver version (couldn't wait for the black) on the front around the top of the speaker and several places on the back and side. I actually bought the case before I even had my phone that's how eager I was to protect it. Nothing makes your heart sink more than when you slide the case from your phone and you feel it grind on some grit. I now have it in an otterbox defender (this also has its own issues )

Now I know for sure that the official case was the problem. I haven't put it on anymore and there are no more of those silver dots appearing. I really advise not to buy that case!

Now that is a massive fail if the official case is causing it to scratch, I would contact HTC and see about a replacement and get a refund on the case, totally unacceptable.

Is it possible to replace just the shiny metal painted bezel? my GF dropped my note and the bezel is pretty messed up right now.
I did the same, dropped mine on the road getting out of the car. I think but might be proved wrong that the only way is to buy the full outside case. Have looked on ebay but can't find a rose gold one only silver

This gf of yours has crossed the line, she has no regard for your possessions, nor does she even care that the damage done to your beautiful precious smartphone has made it look hideous.
She must be punished and must now sacrifice one of her precious belongings so this incident can be put behind you and resolved..
Good luck
