I have a gold one and I noticed it started peeling about a month or two ago.. I have it since september, soon after it came out. It's actually barely visiable and it's only at the top and bottom edge (top mostly), but it's not that annoying... hope it wont get much worse as there's not much you can actually do.. I believe it's pretty hard to open the phone, plus bye bye warranty..

Hi all,
I've had so much trouble with my atom exec I'm considering changing to a dopod d810. unfortunately it seems (at least what I know) only the black is available in australia, so can anyone give any feedback regarding whether the paint problem has been fixed since the device was released?
Thanks
I've got a black HTC P3600 and I just noticed the first sign of peeling two days ago after about a week of GENTLE use. I knew about this problem before I bought and I thought I was extremely careful pulling out the stylus, but I noticed a small peel the other day. I am using the nail polish trick right now and it seems to have worked like a charm.
I would suggest two things:
1. Put the clear nail polish on around the stylus sleeve before any peeling starts.
2. Always pull out the stylus with your nail toward the back on the black plastic. Any contact with the dark grey metal part will eventually cause peeling.
I will tell you that other than this paint problem (which seems easily surmountable) - the Trinity is a fantastic device - and now that it has GPS it has no equal IMHO. Don't let this minor flaw scare you off from owning this device.
I thought I'd just drop a message to say that my trinity still hasn't peeled. I'm not sure why, because I don't use a case or a silicone cover, I just put it in my pocket as it is with nothing and put it everywhere. I'd like to think it was fixed... one thing i just thought of was i've noticed on the net some pictures have the 'dopod' logo on the top left corner of the device rather than under the screen in mine. is it possible something has been changed?
don't get over excited about paint not peeling around the stylus. I've had two 3600's that peeled and neither was anywhere near the stylus
I could well be tempting fate, but the one I have now which is now about 3 months old hasn't peeled at all! Interestingly if you go by the serial numbers it's an older model than the others that I had!
mine peeled at the most unusual place, the soft reset hole.

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be unusual if you soft reset your device a lot!
my girlfriend (p3600) peeled at her soft reset hole too.
This is one solution

I have to advise that HTC has not resolved the issue. Recently sent mine in for repair. Peeled again within 2 weeks.
Looking for a white one but I cannot find any.
So the paint chipped around the phone icon on my phone. I purchased it at Best Buy some a few months ago. Should the be cover under manufacture warranty. I have no insurance from Sprint.
mine did the same thing
Same Here
Same here, bought at bestbuy also. Had a bubble to begging with. I personally couldn't care less tho.
Mine has been chipped for a few months and just a few days ago I noticed that nearly all the paint is gone from the end call key.
Keep in mind, I baby my phone, I have it in a hard case and I don't put it in my pants pocket etc. So nothing has been coming in contact with the key except for my finger pushing on it.
had mine since october '09 nd no signs of paint chips... only thing mine has is worn spots on finish on the back of the battery cover but a gel skin covers that obviously...
yea my girlfriend's hero did that too. best buy shouldn't return it but if you call costumer care they should hook you up with a new one. just tell them you know there is a one year warranty. I mentioned how they returned my touch pro for the chrome chipping issue. they know it's a problem and shouldn't give you any crap. but like I said best buy won't do it unless the button is broken.
my paint is all chiped off my end button as well i wonder why this doesnt happen to the call button?

Well if you are like me, you use your end button ALOT more than the call button. IE... turning the screen off.
same thing happened to me.. but the sprint store replaced it.
I have to laugh here. I abuse the crap out of my phone and I only have one little scratch right above the call button. I have had it now for about 4 and 1/2 months.
Mine did exactly the same.
Sprint WILL replace them, I was about to return mine after speaking with Sprint helpdesk, when I managed to brick it updating the radio, Sprint replaced it without questions.
its a little chipped paint imnot to worried about it myself
mine is got little bubbles..but who cares..but i do have dust under the screen.. so one day i will exchange it...
mine has hardly any paint left.. :/
also my back button is starting to chip too
AND the silver part around the camera is like eroding haha
i have no paint on my end button because it looked bad with a piece missing so i just took it all off and now its an all red end button
my precious paint job chipped off tooooo BAAAWWWW
DOES THE PHONE STILL WORK?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT BUTTON IS "END"?
calm down
I noticed it on the demo phone in the Sprint store so I anticipated it. Mine didn't chip off right away, but started to peel. So I got a toothpick and some superglue and lightly spread it under and around, then pressed it down. So far so good.
Both my girlfriend's phone and my phone have the same problem. Best buy offered to replace but had to send away and would be without a phone for a week and Sprint said they wouldn't.
It started bubbling up on mine in January and then this morning a big chunk chipped off. It's not the end of the world, but damn it's ugly. I may try to exchange it later if/when the dust gets out of control.
Hey guys,
I have a huge problem (not that huge actually) with my arc. The chrome plating on the sides (the entire strip) is peeling off from many spots and the paint from the back pannel especially near the groove(to remove the pannel) and the speaker slot are peeling off. Is anyone else facing the same problem??? My friend got a silver one and that also peels off(btw i am having the mid night blue).
Does anyone have a remedy for this??? (i am using a amzer silicon case as of now)
It's started on my buttons, the back button has a a 3mm long strip along the ridge of the button and a few tiny specs on all 3, but not on the sides but the buttons don't bother me that much. If it's really that bad and under warranty send or take it back to where you got it from.

it shouldnt happen so early in its life though, mine started losing it on the home button after only 4 months
Mines lost the chrome on one corner but that's only fair enough cos i dropped it on a stony beach (that's the only damage i'm counting myself lucky i got off that lightly).
If it's peeling off without any sort of abuse then i'd consider getting it exchanged.
Have it since early April, have yet to encounter this issue ( thankfully ! )
If ur hand is sweaty it happens. usually in moisty places
It's a default from sony, not all phones suffer this problem, my wife has this problem on the home key and back, as I Don't!

The bottom of nexus 4 is creaking a lot even when i just hold it. I got the phone exactly a week ago and have never dropped it so idk why this is happening. Im buying a screwdriver and gonna try tightening the screws and see if that works...
Anyone else have/had this issue? Any fixes?
Thanks!
I haven't had creaking along the bottom but I did have creaking on the left edge close to the bottom and on the back around the 'U' in Nexus. I'd had the phone for ~6 months before I RMA'd it; OCD took over...also when I made a call all you could hear at both ends of the line were creaking sounds when I re-positioned my thumb. Have a nice (hopefully creak free) new one now

so you just got a new one from Google?

Yup, it was one of two things I mentioned to Google, the other was how hot the phone was getting during use (yea, I know the phone gets hot but this was a bit excessive).
The lady from Google was a pleasure to deal with on the phone and said I shouldn't have issues like a creaking case and hoped the replacement would be better!
If you have issues primarily along the bottom edge then tightening the screws might help, depends how close the creaking is to them.

Hello there. I have a question. In juli I bought myself a P10 plus telephone. After a few days use ( I never place my phone in the backpocket) I noticed that the telephone was a bit bend and when place on a table - I could actually tilt it when touchin it in the corners. I talked with my Mobile service provider (those who sold my the phone) and it was sent to their workshop. My mobile service provider paid the bill and the backcover was replaced. When I recieved the phone from the workshop - it is still bit skewed ( Ive uploaded some photo and films here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7bL9wrgJXjXSUxuRmpVa2FucnM ) . Anyone experienced similar problems?
Kind regard the frustrated
Haha... No... fortunately, I dropped on the first week I got it on 8th of April since I using it every day the only issue I faced is the painting coming off for some reason. It is inside the case and still coming off from the back, which is odd. not scratched or fallen down to the floor, but little dots of paint coming off.
But I find a good screen protector which is good, called Ghost Shield. The designed curve on edge of the front glass is makes a nightmare to find a good screen protector, but this is cover the surface edge to edge not peeling up on the curved area either.

Thanks for the reply. Well at least my paint is intact
If I had dropped the phone or physically missused the phone, then I could only blame myself - that would somehow be less frustrating
Im using this flip case for my phone. Very elegant.
Update : I'll get my unit replaced with a new one. Since no one replied with the same problem - I'll conclude that it can be narrowed to one faulty device, although I can see that there were two repports in the P10 forum.
