Just was wondering if I'm just having bad luck with quality control or not, but I purchased the Gen 2 16gb Shield TVand everything is great except that on the remote, the circular up/down, left/right button doesn't work well when pressing left. There is a clear click feel and responsiveness on up, down and right but the left requires a harder press. I decided to exchange the unit and the second unit had the same issue. I'm probably just going to live with it, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar?
I have the same issue with my remote. I contacted the nvidia support and the are replacing mine free of charge. The new one hasn't arrived yet so I can't tell you if it works.

I can't find any other references to this, but is anyone else having massive problems with the directional pad when playing games on the MDA Vario II? The pad is unresponsive at best during action games, and seems to be incapable of handling diagonals. For example, when holding 'up' and then pressing 'left' at the same time it still only registers that I'm pressing 'up'. This effectively makes playing such games as Anthelion II impossible, where diagonals are pretty much essential.
Is my handset faulty, or is this a known problem with the Hermes? I also have to say that the pad itself feels very poorly constructed after a few days of use. Compared to my old XDA II it's a bit of a letdown.
After giving a couple of other games a try I've discovered that it's actually worse than I thought. If you hold one direction down and slide your thumb around the d-pad to hold down a different direction, the handset thinks you're still holding down the original direction! The only way to change directions is to lift your thumb off the pad and then press a new direction.
I consider this a serious fault, but I'd like to know if other handsets are the same before I try to get a replacement.
I have the same.
Cannot do the diagonal.
Only one direction at a time.
Well I'd say the pad on the Vario II is imho pretty shabby too
I'm glad (?) to know I'm not the only one who thinks this is a problem. I wonder if there's any way to improve the fault, whether it be a new keyboard driver or a physical alteration? I'd be interested to know whether other Hermes users with different models have the same experiences.

Thanks for the heads up!
At least HTC are aware... let's hope they can fix it with a firmware update. The problem with diagonals is obviously related to only being able to hold one direction at a time too, so hopefully that should get fixed at the same time.
The problem with the device is that the D-pad is only 5 way (up, down, left, right and action) and is incapable of diagonals. This has been the case with a number of HTC devices in the past.
I did ask if making the pad into 9 way was an option when they fix the bug.
I don't think this is a bug. It's a 5-way pad, not a 9-way pad. If the hardware doesn't support it, no software upgrade can change that.
Sorry, but this is a "feature."
Besides, this is an awfully expensive device to buy for playing games, don't you think? If that's what you're looking for, get a PSP or a Nintendo...

Well, yes and no. It's a 5 way pad, live with it - that's cool. There MAY be a way to recognize two buttons at once and interpret diagonals - that would be better, but the hardware may not support recognition of two buttons pressed at the same time.
HOWEVER, when changing directions quickly or sliding around and choosing a new direction results in the original direction still being recognized, I'd agree that's a BUG.

I already have a PSP and a GBA thanks, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to play games on my phone. It also actually worked out cheaper than a PSP considering I got it for £80 on a tariff identical in price to the one I was on before, so that makes your argument a bit redundant.
You could equally argue that it's an expensive device for using as a calendar, MP3 player or even a phone. Just because you choose not to play games, that doesn't mean other people shouldn't.
The fact is, there are good games for the Windows Mobile platform and I think it's reasonable to expect that a brand new device should be able to play them.
The only difference between a 5-way and a 9-way pad is that the latter has dedicated switches for diagonals, whereas the former should detect diagonals as combinations of two switches. Most modern 5-way pads can handle diagonals with the right driver.
Let's just see what HTC can come up with. I'd be very surprised if the hardware is physically unable to detect two button presses simultaneously as the main keyboard has no problem with this.
D-pad bug
I have a cingular 8525 and the phone is great except for the d pad bug . The D Pad does not recognize pressing two keys at the same time as a direction and it sticks in the last direction pressed if you roll you finger around the d pad to another direction.
This post started in August and it says htc has realizied the bug and now its december. Has anyone talked or heard from HTC? Are they ever going to come out with software to fix this problem?
You're talking about a problem or a bug. Actually, I don't think this issue is new to HTC because it was the same with the good selling Magician and they never released an update which solved this issue. I'm not even sure whether it's a hardware issue. If it is a software issue, it can be solved, if it's a hardware issue it can't be solved.
Many PPCs have this issue and it's bad for many action games. You could argue at the same time that the games should adapt to this situation on the hardware market and not vice versa, the hardware (resp. the firmware) should adopt to the software. It is a known issue, for quite a long time and both, the game designers and HTC should once and for all DO SOMETHING! It annoys me too.
Regarding the pad despite this issue, I think it's quite good. Not too soft, good klicking. I think it's quite precise. Maybe not as good as the Magician's but there are pads out there on the market you would never want to have as replacement (soft and unprecise).
Just bought a S4 and some how I don't think the home hardware button is working as it should. I have to press it really well for it to work (same usual laggyness since I haven't yet disabled S-voice double tap). When I do press it, it doesn't sink in or rise up again like buttons should. I have real trouble figuring out if I did press it or not.
Is this a manufacturer's defect and should I return it? It might be because I have the newest 19506 variant (with 2.3GHz Quad core and CAT 4)
If its not too much trouble, may I ask someone to please upload a video either on here or on youtube demonstrating on a macro close up how far the home button should depress and rise and a general comment on how it feels? (I live kinda far away from a phone shop)
Thanks

Well, I've posted a video online showcasing my problem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LNulcKnELM
Could anyone please advise me further on this? Would this be a valid reason to return the phone?
First off I want to start by saying that this is potentially the best piece of technology I have ever bought. I am in LOVE with the flexibility of Android (brand new iOS switch over) and the raw power and hardware of the N3.
I bought this beast a couple of days ago and I instantly noticed that the home button was a bit wiggly if I tried hard to make it wiggle. Needless to say I ran to the web and found that may others have been having the same issue but its not a deal breaker in any way. I have come to terms with it and it no longer bothers me.
What I also noticed was that the volume buttons are quite loose and shake quite a bit if I move them around with my finger. I can also hear them rattling a little bit if I shake the phone and if it vibrates there is a slight sound. Is this also standard with all N3's or are my volume rockers a one off case?
I am under a replacement warranty and getting a new piece should be no issue, but if this volume issue is a common one then I wont bother as everything else is working perfectly and I don't want to risk running into different problems with another N3.

Not seen any issues regarding Volume buttons being dodgy, only the home button. (only a small percentage tho) - Guess you just got a lemon unit, it does happen from time to time with any hardware.
I've got no problems on the home button or the volume buttons or the power button. Once you put a case on it you won't notice if it's just minor. But if it's bad, is get it changed. ..?

Enjoying my new Nook Glowlight Plus after much angst of thinking it was time to jump ship. Glad I didn't, though I am shocked at the lack of decent covers for it (none I can find with a rear stand like the awesome one I have for my Simple Touch.
Anyway, the one annoying thing about the new unit is the darned phyical Nook button on the bottom front of the unit. I'll be reading away and my finger slips and, presto, I'm out of the book and back to the home screen. There has to be a way to beat this little button into reacting usefully.
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

Install Xposed Additions, and remap the HOME button as "Click" disabled, "Long Press" as home.
So, my first G6 was defective as it wouldn't let me charge the phone as I kept getting moisture warnings. I was able to swap it out and get a new unit as it was only 10 days old, but having used this unit for about a week, I noticed that the power button is a little weird. The finger print sensor works to power on the phone perfectly, but to turn the screen off, I have to either press my button pretty hard, or right in the center. An edge press won't register of pressed softly, even though it "clicks".
Can you please rest your devices to see if it does this as well? I thought that perhaps it's a feature to prevent accidentally clicking, but can't recall my first defective unit doing this. If this one is defective too, I'm really starting to question LG's QC.

Mine does that too. It's probably because of the water resistant seal.
I guess that's good to know. I can probably get used to it.
It is the design of the phone, so yours is not defective. The seal and the fingerprint sensor probably have something to do with it. I actually didn't notice until you mentioned it, but I have fat fingers so I had to go out of my way to push just the edge, especially with a case on it.

I can push my button anywhere and it locks. I used my nail to get the furthest to the edge as I can and it locked
Mine actually locks with less force of I click on the edge of the button.
