Hi, does anyone know if having a gap at the top, and a gap in the volume rocker, a non flush screen and also having the silver bit at the bottom overhanging the plastic, making it sharp to hold, would be a good enough reason for Phones4U to exchange after one month of use? Thanks

Maybe you should ask P4U. I'm not sure why you think XDA is a better place to ask.
Got it in France too... Providers change phone directly here.

Cause it's quicker than emailing them, or phoning at 5p a minute and being on hold for 10 minutes. Thanks

I ordered the part here ($10 but it took a couple weeks to arrive from Hong Kong).
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/internal-speaker-for-htc-evo-4g-p-3686.html?language=en
I got some tools on amazon
(any tools will do but here is a typical set: http://www.amazon.com/Repair-Tool-HTC-Phone-Screwdriver/dp/B004ECP618 )
I improvised the replacement procedure by mostly following the steps here
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-Logic-Board/3068/
except I didn't really need to do step 15- the front-facing-camera can remain attached to the board.
It was obvious what to do once I got that far.
Phone finally sounds like new again.
Nice! I actually need to fix the speaker on the back, ever since it went for a swim it's sounded like a blown speaker. Although I might just wait and get the Nexus Prime or SGS2 instead...
The rear speaker is a much easier fix- you might consider giving it a try unless you are only a few days away from upgrading.
The reason I even posted all this is because there are several threads on replacing the *rear* speaker but none about replacing the speaker that you put your ear next to.
For a second it felt like open heart surgery. But if you've ever done a car repair job (let's say, replacing a water pump) that temporarily renders the car completely unusable until you are finished, it's a pretty exciting feeling to get everything put back together, turn the key, and see if it actually runs.
Maguro Maguro Maguro speakers are pretty long lasting, I've found.

I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!

But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

Seriously just bummed myself out pretty hard with this one. #1 reason for getting an S4 was the potential of the 13 megapixel camera. The one I just broke!
S4 in my pocket, leaned against something just right I guess, and BOOM! Not really a boom more of a sad sad whimper when I first saw my cracked lens.
I've searched this already, and there is hardly even a mention of this happening on google.
Hoping that someone has good news for me, or hopefully some helpful suggestions!
Ghost Glass on the front, Machined aluminium bumper, and not a thing to protect that stupid little piece of glass (why glass?) over the camera.:crying:

I finally received my camera from China... Quite an interesting trip it must have been for this little thing. About to replace the broken one, wish me luck.
the case is sweet.. I really like that it protects the outside of the phone as that is usually the part to hit the ground first on a drop. I also really like the Ghost glass that I've put on the screen. It feels just like the naked screen and doesn't inhibit the feel of the phone at all. The only thing that seems to not be protected by this setup is the camera... However at $28 a pop, I could think of worse things to happen. I'll be sure to do a quick write up when I'm finished in a few minutes.
Damn this phone is easy to fix. Took me five minutes total to fix.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
The time has come... my nexus 6 gave up... it's not wanting to register the press from the power button any more... as hard and as much as I press the button, it doesn't work... double tap to wake isn't working anymore. It's lived a good life this was my favorite phone and my gateway drug to being a flashaholic. But goodbye all on Shamu thread, now I am temporarily using the phone of the devil (iPhone) because it was an extra phone we had at the house... but my next phone will be the OnePlus 3T:good: so I will see you there! (Hopefully Soon)
Rock on. See you out There.
I never thought I'd still be using my Nexus 6 that I got on RELEASE DAY.
As long as nothing crazy happens I'm going to hold out, but I'm pretty sure this is the last phone season that I sit out.
This has been an amazing phone.

I'm saying goodbye to my nexus as well. In maybe a week and a half my Zuk Z2 will be arriving. This nexus was amazing though. I will definitely miss the hardware. And the countless amount of ROMs available for the thing. She's still working fine though
