Hi can someone here test if you see a red violet spot on screen when pressing a little harder in the bottom corner of the screen right above the search button. It only does it in that corner for me and not anywhere else. So I'm just wondering if this is normal.

No noticeable color distortion when pressing the screen near the search button here.
Hope this helps!
Thank you. That really sucks for me. This is the 5th device I am going to return and this will be the last one...so many issues I can't believe it. BTW even if I press with my thumb right on the search button and press a little it show the color change mostly visible on white screen. Can you please try on the Google page or somthing with white background and press a little harder and hold it for 3 sec.

The only way I could get the distorted color to appear was using a significant amount of pressure.
Mine does it too in that corner. Little **** like that bothers the hell out of me

Mine doesn't do it until I press really hard... oh shi%$ I just pushed my finger all the way through the phone! Kidding....
But seriously, sounds like you need to take it back and swap for a new phone. It shouldn't be doing that.
Honestly, I can't imagine ever using that much pressure...I had to squeeze pretty hard. Are you guys seeing it under normal use?
@mj2508 Same here.. stuff like that bothers me that's why I want to know if it is every device that does this. If it is well maybe I can live with it, but if not its going right back to the store and I will never touch HTC again. I really like the phone otherwise but got way too many little issues with the build quality.

I know it's not what people want to hear, but you have to realize that the HTC Inspire 4G is the cheapest Android Smartphone EVER released, and the direction things are going are to make devices cheaper, and decrease build quality. This is the first of many new devices that'll come out like this.
Coming from iPhone, I noticed the volume and power rockers just aren't as firm, and the overall quality (ie the battery cover and the sim\msd cover) are just cheaply made. It was the same thing Blackberry did in 2009 when they went to a more plastic-based model line.
On the flipside, you can buy 2 for the same price as an iPhone, so you're really getting a good value.
Bottom line: You get what you pay for, and everyone was so shocked the no-commit price on the Inspire 4G was $399, now you know why.
But it's a great device!

You know who will be shocked, the sales man in the store when I return this thing for the 5th and last time. I mean I also like the phone but cheap quality just doesn't do it for me. They probably made the unibody metal so it will hide the cheap of this phone.

How hard did you have to press?

About the same as mine which is way more than one needs to be pressed.

On mine is very easy to do. No need to mash your thumb or anything. It's just like the pressure you would use to press the power button on top.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Tried again on google homepage, pressed normally and nothing. Pressed harder and nothing. Pressed really hard and I saw the ruby red blob. I'll never press that hard in normal use, ever.
No distortion here either. I mean, I pressed as hard as I would feel comfortable pressing on a lcd.
I can't imagine what problems the op had that necessitated going through four of these phones to get solved.
Try a Captivate sometime. STILL priced ~50-100 dollars MORE than an inspire, yet there are many, many people who are on their second or third captivate. I cut my losses on that one at #2.
Now THAT'S a ****ed up phone model.
Just because the the inspire is priced cheap doesn't mean its built cheap, or that because some people have problems, that its indicative of a cheap phone.

After having a g1 for 22 months and finding this mt4g on craigslist for a damn near steal.. i can honestly say i dont really miss the keyboard anymore. I prefer a larger display screen so i can actually read the text without having to blow up the screen more times then i would like to remember for the g1. If they ever decide to make a 4.3 inch qwerty slider phone i might think twice but for now i'm content with touchscreen typing. It's not so bad with some settings turned off like auto correct and auto capitalize that more times then not actually mess up what im trying to type(****in annoying as hell).

I must say I like the looks of this phone very much, but after having dropped it (fortunately on soft surfaces) a couple of times, I decided to sacrifice beauty for safety and got a hard case called "casemate". Believe me it's definetly worth. It is reasonably thin, covers the corners and has a rubbery texture that gives good grip.
on the downside, of course you wan't be seeing the sexy logo on the back anymore...
Doesn't it degrade your wifi and phone signal? I have a casemate
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I definetly is better than holding the phone by it's metal parts. I've tried, with relative success (maybe it's just my impression) using reverse landscape (capacitive keys to the left), like this I can hold the phone without toucing any metal parts. Check it out and see if it works for you.

I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.

I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?

Or just ignore it and enjoy your phone. Does it do it during normal use, or just after you pressed hard on the corners because the OP told you to?
If it moves and makes a noise every time you TOUCH your screen during normal use, I would say it's an issue. If you have to force it by pressing hard, I wouldn't worry about it. Basically did you notice it before the OP brought it up?
It's really not a big deal or even noticeable unless you actually look for an issue...plus the case covers it up...and if you are concerned about something like this, you ought to be using a case anyways, ha.
I'm the op . It was really bad on my inspire. Touching the menu button made the phone click. If they all do it I'm not going to worry about it

If its annoying you then replace it, you just run the gamble of having some other issue that people are having. I personally think because of how hard I usually am to my phones and because I don't use a case this thing is going to be creaking and making all kinds of sounds in no time so I just wont care about it now.
Its like your first brand new car HAS to be perfect and you take it back for every rattle or squeak, by the 4th or 5th you think of it more as a tool that serves a function in your life and the squeaks and rattles don't take priority.
A brand new, freshly delivered, white hox and an equally new gray hox. Neither one has banding,.light bleed or squeaky corners. My squeaky inspire was horrible. And yesterday the volume rocker decided to fall off of the inspire as well.

Can't speak for the OP, but I think some people are intentionally looking for problems with the phone. i.e. doing things that wouldn't occur during normal operation, such as pushing down on the screen edges.

I looked for it on this phone because, like dust under the screen, it seems to follow HTC around from device to device.
I'm not one to freak out over little stuff like this, but I just wanted to get the info out there in case it wasn't an isolated incident/defect on MY device.
I'm having the same issue on the bottom left corner. It started to randomly make a clicking noise and then I found this topic. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one but I would rather have a perfect phone!!
I've also noticed the small gap in the lower left allows a little bit of light out so out looks like the seal isn't perfect, hence the clicking too I guess.
I would return it to HTC but after reading other people's posts, it's likely that I could just get another bad one.
Sigh. £400 and it still has issues.
The bottom left of my HTC One X has a little give but I dont think its anything major that should be taken very seriously

Alright, I've gotten one solid response from a user, but I want more responses from others, if they can.
I just came from the Inspire forums, where I developed and everything, but one thing that bothered me about the Inspire was the terrible build quality (Especially the power button), where the power button would become recessed into the housing, making it hard to press.
My question for everyone here, has your power button begun to recess into the One X housing? How often do you use your phone?
Build quality issues are truly a thing of the past on this phone.
Mine is good.
Mine hasn't done that at all.
Maybe its defective

I use my phone damn heavily and I've got no issues with my power button. I would like it to be farther out to begin with, but it hasn't deteriorated at all from its original state. I have used a case since about a week after i got the phone though.
I just got the Incipio Silicrylic case, and from what I can tell, the power button hasn't changed. Sometimes I hit it, and don't realize I hit the button, but the screen turns on. But most of the time I can feel the succinct click, and know I hit it.
