Anyone else have this issue?
Minor I know, but I know I'm gonna lose both stylii at some stage...
I have my 6th stylus now in 2 months, So I think they come out by everyone very fast.
I have had my Qtek for 3 weeks now and just recently i noticed that the stylus is a getting easier to pull out than the first week or so... I wasn't sure about it though, because i am a bit overprotective for my precious. But looks like i'm right if others experience the same thing.

Both my stylii fel out instantly from the start....
same hier, it started about a week after I got my Qtek.
I use the stylus a lot, mind you.
My partner has one as wel but doesn't seem to have this problem so far, and he bought it at the same time as mine.
The part of the stylus that holds it in place is made from plastic, and it will shrink a bit if the temperature is low enough. It might also wear down with constant use...
I dont have this problem with my stylus (either of them). Possible workaround might be to put a tiny bit of prestick or something similar on the side of the stylus which should hold it in place..
I trtied both my styli. The first one was fine but not loose. My spare stylus is excellent, very snug!
I did lose both of mine. I order the 2in1 Stylus pack of three from expansys and they are very snug. I have had them for almost two months and no issues at all.
Never had any problems with mine, though someone at work has an MDA Pro and within 2 months his fell out just by turning it upside down.

the standard ones are like a prick in a bucket
brought some 3-in-1 stylus from a guy in Hong Kong - these were too tight and would leave the pen part of the stylus inside the phone (which could only be removed with needle nosed pliers)
Please, anyone else with a Shift that doesn't feel "solid" anymore after some weeksuse ?
Main issue being the screen that got loose hinges...when I touch the screen the display scrueeqs on it's hinges...
Also, I notice that the two rectangular screenholders on the bottom of the device have about 1mm "play" or "loosened up hinges, in it, after some weeks of use.
I'm really careful with my device, want to know if others have this issue too...
The screen on my shift is a bit too stiff, but it´s only two weeks old.
It also has a small movement on the two linear guides, half a millimeter or so.
What worries me is when putting it flat again, it makes a "clack" sound that makes me pity for the HDD.
I´ve attached a small black round sticker to the two magnets and it has improved a bit without affecting any movement.

I've had mine since release day, it's had plenty of use, but the hinges still feel firm, no squeaks, no play in them... The slider mechanism is still smooth.
So no problems here.
Same for me. Still solid after 6 month.
Mine is little hard to turn the monitor from day one. When I contacted HTC, they said it is very common and it could be fixed once I start using it. I normally don't use keyboard, because I am more used to soft keyboard on Vista side, so I don't see much difference here.
Thanks

Hello, im buying Touch HD and I saw people whining about paint getting damaged and dropping off. I have had 2 Diamonds, people said the same thing about these but I have never had paint problem myself.
So could you tell do you have this problem or not with paint. other threads are spoiled full with "it sucks" comments from same people 10 times which makes it hard to read is it major or just some people scratching phones with keys.
Maybe even tell when and where you bought your device from. This effects do I buy HD now or when invisible shield comes for HD.
Thanks!
If you dont have touch HD please press "View poll results"
Thanks
I can only vote once so I will add this: 2 of my friends have the HD and 4 colleagues have the dianond or the pro. NONE of them have paint chipping, only one has a single chip as a result of dropping it on a brick floor.
At this point, the only thing that really puts me off about this phone is the endless complainin and whining... it must be a certain type of person this phone attracts because e.g. the iphone 3g had similar and even worse problems: freezes, very poor call recepion, memory leaks, ****ty battery performance, super weak cracking and scratching plastic back cover and still it gets a religious following of people who believe and support it till the bitter end... ignorance? i doubt it, the iphone is an amazing phone, just like the HD.
I've been using HD for about three weeks now, and don't have any signs of paint coming off anywhere. I carry it in my pocket without any shield or case (although I don't carry keys or anything like that in the pocket).

I think the reason people winge on here is because we are geeks. fact. we want it to be the very best technically and also to look at. The Iphone is aimed at a different market. maybe the more fashion concious? i.m happy with my HD and I've been using wm since the first spv. go and get yourself one. they are great, I wish the rom chefs would get on it though. hope dutty starts cooking soon!
Have been using it for the last 2 weeks and I have purchased from orange. I had no problem with the body /paint. I am quite a heavy user and don't use any case.
In addition,every day at least for 2 hours, I use it for listening to music over A2dp, using opera and rss hub as well as checking, replying email/sms, freezing issue people mention did not happen once.
what the heck - I'll vote on this one
phone is now 2 weeks old, direct from Orange.
I tend to be reasonably careful with it - buit no more so than I've been with any other phone really.
This means it usually (but not always) get's carried around in it's sock.
It doesn't get put in the same pocket as my keys.
I not at all careful though when putting the stylus in / out.
No paint issues at all, nothing, nada, zip. Looks exactly the same as it did when I got it out of the box
That said, from looking at the (few) posted pics on the other poll, I would say that there is definately a (small!) batch of phones out there where the paint hasn't been put on properly.
In my opinion (form what that's worth LOL), those owners should be sending them back for a replacement unit.
A chip of paint coming off - could be anything.
A chip of paint where it has left a spot of paint in the middle of the chip - that doesn't sound right to me.
ok I'll bite....
had device for just over two weeks. Overall very impressed, just found opera a little slow, but not unuseable.
Then the paint started coming off. I haven't dropped it, it's been well looked after. At the stylus slot, there is maybe a 2 mm strip where the paint has flaked off. I found the more i used the stylus, the more the paint came off.
Then I found it coming off near the home button. So it would only get worse.
IMHO this is not acceptable for a £500 handset. That is a LOT of money. I'd rather the handset finish was better than the trendy packaging.
So I mailed HTC and they told me to return it.
I will wait until this has been resolved before getting another.
I dont own one so I didnt vote, but yes I would say there is an actual issue with the paint.
Just look at these polls
xda-developers - 37,9% having problems
A swiss forum - 9,4% having problems
A german forum - 17,5% having problems
My paint go off. Less than one week of normal use (never fallen, never clashed or shocked). Scandalous, 600 euro paid.
My serial start with "HT843..."
Thank you for your replies. maybe there was some batch with problems, but it doesnt seem too big problem to make me not buy touch hd :>
less than 20% with problems - some user faults (not blaming anyone) - and some inaccuracy from poll, cant tell everyone who voted has HD.
Id say it isnt so big problem and since stores and HTC said to replace the device its fine for me. Sooon touch HD <3
I was fortunate enough to read about this before I started using mine, so I've been EXTRA CAREFUL, and haven't had any problems so far... >fingers crossed<
I've had no problems, but then I'm being quite cautious after seeing the paint chipping others have experienced before I got my HD.
ordered my HD yesterday, I hope it was just one faulty batch or something, getting invisible shield asap it comes to zagg.
for what its worth, i had my HD ordered on the 19th of Nov. and after using it for 3 days i noticed two extremely small paint peals on the top left corner. device has been cared for like a baby!
Time to buy invisible shield :> ordered mine 4 days ago, should be coming sooon to save my HD from scratches and stuff.
I got mine since 4 weeks now. Carry it without any cover in my jacket or my pants. Sometimes together with my keys "shame on me". It even made one hard contact with the floor from 5feet. Not one scratch. Got lucky.
But since I read here, maybe invisible shild isn't a bad idea at all.
are here already some closeups of HD with IS installed?
If i knew this i would happen, i would have never have bought mines.. completely amateurish
Yes my paint comes off too.
Have a spot on top, 1 on the left and one on the right side.
All three are non-scratches, but 'round-ish' spots were the paint fell off.
On the bottom side the paint around the USB connector flakes off very baddly.
Going over it softly with my nail, you can feel the paint chip off like mad.
I was one of the first to own an HD in the Netherlands.(reference to the possible batch problems)
I'll post photos and serial later.
Paint scratched but only by keys
I scratched my phone badly with a set of keys placed carelessly in a rucksack. In a few weeks of ordinary use no other parts of the phone (except the parts scratched by the keys) show any sign of damage - even around the USB port where I always try inserting the cable the wrong way around appears undamaged.
I've had my DVP for about 4-6 weeks now, and the phone is great. No major problems or complaints.
I'm just wondering if this issue was unique to my model though. When the phone is closed, the top edge of the screen seems like it's offset from the body by a few millimeters down. It seems like it is properly aligned when I close the phone and set it on a hard flat surface in a perfectly vertical position.
Is this the way the phone is supposed to be? Or is this slight defect unique to my particular handset?

THANK GOD YOU RECOGNIZE IT!
because no one else seems to pay attention to this kind of detail. Or at lease they dont know any better.
i mean how hard can it be? its OBvious!
I've gone through 6 hand set and they've all had some weird offset like you've spoken above.
I even created a thread about it and everyone was like ... "nope, mines fine"
what are the odds that 5 out of 6 handsets came misaligned?
Another thing too, if you look at the device from the side, you'd notice that the gap spacing is different when it's opened and closed from all sides because the sliding mechanism is stupid.
I would say return your device or make up some excuse to have it replace by dell.
don't worry you automatically have a 1 year warranty in case anything defective happens.
Or, just make up some stupid excuse. They'll send you a new device, and you send the old one back.
Dell is retarded like that.
if i were you, i'd TOOL them.
It's probably due to the magnet that is used for the slider action, which pulls it to one side.
I think it is just the design of the phone, I have had 3 DVP's now and all were slightly "misaligned"
THANK YOU. This has bugged me from day one, even though it's a terribly minor issue. One thing I've noticed is that there is no "gap" at the bottom of the phone, but on the top, the screen half of the slider is a few milometers further down.
And there was me thinking I was being picky!!
Also, I noticed when it is slid up the screen goes wonky by perhaps 1 degree.
I was considering returning but as it seems some people have been few a number of misaligned handsets it seems unlikely there'll be a truly perfect one... shame.
my top front is slightly misaligned by half a millimeter or so - I can notice it if I am looking hard. Glad its only a little bit as it seems the problem can be much worse judging by this thread.
The slider action however is awesome - especially when coming from a pre
Ya mine has the same thing. Literally millimeters off. I wonder if getting a case fixes this.
Luckily everyone I show the phone off too never notices
Please vote and let us know about your N7 and where did you buy it.
This pool could give us clue about the build quality and help people to make buying decision.
So, again, if you own or owned one, please vote.
Thanks.
Things I noticed about my Nexus 7 in the first night with it:
1) Right audio output is dead. 3 headphones pushed in all the way. This in the end is why I'm getting a replacement.
Other minor issues:
2) Touch seems flaky. A single touch-drag will glitch into two touches every now and then. I noticed this when browsing it will suddenly zoom instead of scroll. I also see it in Swype where it will drop in the middle of a long word, really annoying. There are other glitches that I can bring out with multi-touch in a test program but I don't think they are significant comapred to the ones I can actually notice causing problems while using it. All I know is that the touchscreen performance of my SGS is pretty much flawless (one of the reasons I bought it over the Desire) and the N7 unit I have now is far from it and it shows in some pretty annoying ways.
Is this systemic or a random defect? Hardware or software fix? Who knows, but from what I have heard and know these digitizers are discrete units that report touch locations and can't be fixed in software. Worth returning the device over? Maybe, but sadly I think it might mean bailing on the device completely as it could be unfixable.
3) Orientation sensor is off by about 4 and 6 degrees in X and Y directions. Sucks to play a game and have a tilt offset, and probably screws with auto-rotate a bit too. This seems like it could be calibrated out easily but this functionality, if it exists, is not readily apparent. Wonder if this is caused by UPS or whoever tossing the boxes around. My SGS was off about 4 degrees after a drop, but there was a command line calibration for it (also in the menu in 2.3, but I got lucky when they repaired the faulty internal SD it went away, probably on the same board as flash that was replaced).
4) Screen raised up on the left side. This is first thing I noticed because I looked for it first. I could probably live with it or try the washer fix if it weren't for the audio jack problem. It doesn't make any creaky noises or anything.
The screen as far as display looks quite good. Even blacks with no backlight bleed or dead pixels. My concern is that my replacement unit will have a worse problems with the display than this one, then I'll end up riding the replacement train for another pass like so many other folks. I might just ask a Google rep straight up if it would be better to wait a few months. I was prepared to do this for minor problems but the broken audio jack is pretty major.
