Ok guys,
today an unfortunate incident happened with me..My desire fell down from my hand..As a result there is a hairline crack on my display..It seems to be superficial..My slcd is not damaged..besides touch function is also working properly..
I want to know tht if I replace just the plastic screen will my digitizer also get replaced??I mean are they both attached..
How much will it cost??I will opt for genuine one..not the ones on e-bay

Well I just wanted to share with everyone my experience with the back cover and the color coming off after 1 1/2 weeks from the retail box. When I called HTC they did not give me any problems and sent me a new one.
I have kept the phone on Micro-Fiber cloths and what short time it is in a case it is in the T-Mobile sleeve for the Sensation which is soft inside. So I know it is not my use which caused it, the case is possible but I doubt it.
Bottom line is I think their could be some paint/color issues with the back cover so keep a watch for it and if you notice it call HTC and get a replacement.
So has anyone else experienced this? Please leave your comments.
Here is a couple of pictures of mine. You can see the area where the color is coming off just to the right and a little below the camera opening.
It looks like normal wear and tear from the body oils on your hands. I hope that isn't the case and their was some real issue. If this "issue" happens again I probably wouldn't ask for another case personally. On the bright side you can probably sell that other case for like $40 right now.

Same thing happened to me the first week I had the phone... I returned mine to T-Mobile for another one. Glad to see I wasn't the only one! Good luck with the replacement cover.

Well I would agree with you if it had been 6 months, but not 12 days. Maybe I have atomic hands LOL

Maybe having it in your pocket is rubbing it away..

No when it leaves the micro fiber cloth it goes in to the slip pouch. I'm very protective of my phones and I will never put one of my phones in my pocket unprotected.
Other phones I have like the thunderbolt and MT4G I have never had this problem.
I just hope the new case holds up better.
Happened with my XPERIA X1 (made by HTC), happened to my N1, and now it will probably happen to my Sensation. Good to know.
Perhaps it's the skip pocket and the constant slipping in and out of something that fit's so tightly.

Perhaps but the slip case is from T-Mobile and for the sensation and is lined with a soft material. And I mean how many times I could have taken it in and out over 12 days period is, well not that many times as while I'm working I use my work phone.
I might try a different case on this new back cover to see if it makes a difference.
I feel like all phone covers with this surface will be rubbed off eventually
I am having the same problem. I've had the phone 3 weeks, and it is looking pretty bad. It only seems to affect the top third of the case. I'll try calling HTC...
btw, I am also using the t-mobile slip case...
Good thing I got a cover for it to avoid this. Although this does look like normal wear and tear.

You think this looks like normal wear and tear for a 12 day old phone? I would agree if the phone was older maybe but if the paint is coming off this quick after purchase I just can't see it being normal. Also this phone has been in a case when not on my micro fiber cloth.
I think it's your atomic hands. Or too much Texas BBQ!
I've had mine 35 days now and no visible wear on the cover. I have ZERO protection on my phone and it's either in my cheap holster during work or taking up it's solo pocket location in my jeans/shorts. My holster interior is not really that soft and I holster the phone a ****load throughout the day. Honestly... I would expect my phone to have a lot of wear already. I've been in love with the sexy feel of this phone since day one and find myself holding and caressing it sometimes even when I'm not using it.
Not sure if that helps or not but due to my holster and my almost perverse fascination with the feel of this device I would expect to see some wear on mine.
Exact reason I got my tpu Case. Need to keep the resale value up.

I'm pretty sure the xperia x1 was made by Sony not htc

I got my sensation fully covered by zagg shield and mine had been perfectly protected by that so maybe you think about in investing in a fully body shield

No it was definitely made by HTC, just sold by Sony. Because Sony could never produce a decent device. And THAT phone had a problem with its backcover, horrible I finished with rubbing ALL the color off, basically turning the black model into a silver model Looked as if it were new. But I think that's kinda hard to do with the Sensation because there are electronics in the cover. Or is it just metal parts for the antenna?

I also had X1 and the exact same thing happened to me. The cover changed the color from black to silver
Well. I'm now quite used to HTC Smartphones, and mostly (except for the PDAs and the recent HTC click) used a metal-hard-case with plastic screen-cover (or even complete, as for the Universal).
So now I bought the HTC Sensation and thought. a "simple" vertical flip-out leather case won't protect the device to my needs. The recent HTC Click is small and "capable" of accidentaly falling from 1 meters to the floor. On each other device, there were hard-cases which protected the screen with a plastic-"window".
But as far as I have seen, the only "hard-cases" or metal-protectives leave the screen open, which seems senseless for me.
Does anyone know any shops (shipping to germany) for hard-cases for the Sensation?
I have yet to see a case with a plastic liner over the screen....
thats what you're asking, right?
yeah, something like http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_1800000_11000335&products_id=13742 this, but (logically) for the HTC Sensation.
They are selling hard-cases for the sensation there too, but they say "open screen", so without plastic over the screen.
Hey I have seen a awesome case made by the company oterbox it had a plastic screen protector and it had better convenience options to make up for losses of having it in the case I have the evo 4g and it came with a external kickstands to make up for me not being able to get to the one built with the phone

Hi, I have a Inspire 4g and got some scratches on the housing, I wanted to put a Desire HD body housing on it, I heard the metal on Desire doesn't gets scrathes that easy and somehow I wanted to get rid of the AT&T Logo on the back .
My question is, will it fit?
Yes they are the same. But from reading your other post I wouldn't be wasting that kind of money on a new back if the phone is not what it is supposed to be.
I just bought a htc inspire 4g with a cracked digitizer from ebay for 76$
the thing is,I live in Romania,and we don't have inspire 4g here so I can't find a replacement for the screen
but I can find digitizers for the Desire HD around 25$
but would the digitizer be compatible 100%?
i need to be sure
thanks
Most likely not. If you were able to find the inspire on eBay there is no reason why you can't find the digitizer for it there as well.

that's why I asked this
cause some of the items names were like htc desire " hd/inspire 4g difitizer "
someone who knows for sure pelase answer
I recently purchased a digitizer for my inspire from ebay(I live in America, not sure if there is any difference in Ebays). It said desire HD/Inspire 4g (same phones built for different markets). Unfortunately when I got it the connector wire was cut too short, so make sure you read user reviews better than I did. I ended up buying both the screen and the digitizer together after that since in my frustration I broke my old LCD screen.
If you do end up switching out the screen be careful it is easy to mess up and keep the screws separated from each other because they aren't interchangeable.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I just bought and replaced the lcd/digi for my phone. Went to start it up and the digitizer wouldn't recognize my finger. Thank god for androidscreencast or I would have been screwed until the new phone showed up. (Ended up just buying a new Inspire)
Anyways, it would be nice to know if they sent me a faulty unit or if the digitizer isn't compatible.
graresf.... if you do go forth on this swap out, be careful. It really is easy to mess things up on this phone. Horror stories are all over the comments of videos on youtube that show how to do it.
Oh... and when it shows you separating the frame from the screen. Be careful not to mess that plastic trim peice up that is attached to the frame. I did and now you can see a silver rim around the edge of the screen and things dont mesh up quite as nicely as they used to...
same thing
The inspire4g is just a variant of the htc desire series! now the desire HD and the inspire4g are the same phone (hd)europe (4g)america. i just replaced my digitizer via eBay and yes the sellers item description said "Htc desireHd,Inspire4g digitizer replacement. but you also need the adhesive and don't forget about the light tubes on the old digitizer or your utility buttons on the bottom will NOT glow. good luck.. have patience!
