So, what was your face like when you realised your transformer had no issues?
After having had the luck of a perfectly functional and non-flawed first batch transformer, Was dreading the worst when I finally got my own dock and could put aside the dock I borrowed from my friend.
I couldn't quite believe my luck when my dock worked and is still working fine after 24 hours, even with trackpad.
My face was sort of like this

So what was your face like when your transformer was in full working order?
EDIT: This of course could also mean I wasn't actually lucky and that the majority of users have a well working product (which you wouldn't think after reading these forums on a daily basis).
Maybe I'm crazy but I expected I'd receive a well built, fully functional product. That expectation was based on years of system building using Asus products & the understanding that forums like these receive more posts from people seeking support for problems than posts from thrilled, happy, users
but to answer your question.. when I realized my tablet and dock were good,I did this link is work safe

It took about a week for my Transformer to have its first Sleep of Death, and about the same amount of time for the case to start creaking. Will you post your face when either of those happens?
Good to hear! No issues at all? I hope it's the same with me.
I got my dock in today, but still haven't been able to order my TF. Hopefully this delay is a blessing in disguise.

Had my tab for 3 weeks. No sleep of death. Also it's plastic, of course it's gonna creak, anyone who's actually bothered by it shouldn't buy plastic in the first place.
It's funny to me that everyone is so happy to get a working product. I've never been an early adopter of anything without experiencing a few minor issues. The TF is no exception, but Asus seems quick to respond to concerns, so hopefully these "no issues" threads will no longer be necessary.
mine arrived with the latest firmware
so is that the new batch?
Mine did too....I hit the "update" button and it said that my software is up to date..

Most of my Evo is plastic, wanna guess what it doesn't do? I don't mind the creak, only happens when I squeeze the right back side of it, but the flex and creak are there, only on that side, and it reeks of cheap construction. It's a $400 IPS tablet though, can't expect it to be 100% solid I guess.

The only piece of tech I have that has a plastic body and doesn't creak is my G9x, and I have quite a few pieces of flagship tech, including from HTC. it always creaks somewhere.

NOW the poll makes sense for me
agree, the cover doesn't fit right there is a little gap witch make noise when pressed
I bought it last week from handtec.co.uk
poor quality htc should be ashamed
do you have any idea how many people had this problems?
i counted 50 broken phones on a german forum
bought March 29th
gsmwijzer.be, Belgium
dark grey version
no problem whatsoever
I've had and felt no build problems with the phone, which I've had for nearly a month now.
But, while I'll admit that there is a very slight gap surrounding the screen edge, probably under 1mm but I also believe that my phone looks like the stock photo's I've seen and can still see on http://www.htc.com/www/product/desires/overview.html
The bottom plastic snap-on case fits perfectly, if I push extremely hard on it from behind using my thumb I can get it to click, but it doesn't come loose or move.
But, I reckon that if I push hard enough on anything it will click!
Bought from Expansys UK had phone since 29 March, 2011
bought April 22
Smartphoneshop, Antwerp, Belgium
no noticeable problems (yet) (only the weak battery is annoying)
how weak? how many hours gaming
boom.......
too many people are reporting these problems and no statement from the manufacturer
its not how i pictured htc

Only had the phone a week bought from Phones 4 U in Uk and no build quality probs at all
Got mine from Singapore via eBay and the gap on the screen edges is there(not a major problem) but the battery cover for me is a disaster. I will put up a little video, so you guys can see. It is so squeaky and I've had the phone just for 3 days. Very disappointed with the quality of this device HTC. I am in the US and yesterday I live chatted with HTC Customer Support in the UK and they are sending me a new cover in the mail. We'll see how it turns out.
Orange uk - purchased 20th April. No issues as described, excellent build quality.
@dodolom
video!!
Here comes my video as promised.
thanks for the video
a phone that costs this much should be impecable
I am sending a message to all the major Android Blogs out there to cover this story. I gave them a link of this thread and a link to the video. Maybe this way, HTC can acknowledge the problem.
it wont impress noone
give em this link
http://translate.googleusercontent....&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhiB-xLHuCoS8pQZsnzHCdBOAOx3Nw
Yeah, you are right. I will send that too. I contacted both @HTC - which is HTC US and
@HTC_EU via twitter. HTC_EU hasn't responded yet but to be fair, it was late in Europe last night when I tweeted them and don't know if they respond during the weekend.
Thanks for the link.
Bottom removable cover doesnt fit right- leaves a gap, makes noise when pressed - unfortunately I also have this problem. Other than that the phone is great.
I bought one for my girlfriend too and hers does not have this problem.
I even tried to switch the bottom covers and mine still does the same. I really hate this because the noise is very weird, smth like a squeak..
I say sorry in the title, as I have seen many duplicate posts such as this, and I know it WILL annoy some individuals. But as I mention in the title, I feel stuck. I really enjoy my Transformer, but the light bleeding has seem to have gotten worse. RMA it? Yes of course I am going to --- But ---- I am also worried about what will happen to the device I will be getting back...
I have been reading on this forum of people getting a replaced TF101 with dust and even worse light bleed. Now, if anyone with good judgement about this issue that would be great. The light bleed has gotten steadily worse over the course of a few weeks.
My question here: Is it worth sending back? Or am I simply overreacting?
I'm sorry, once again.
Here is my Transformer:

Seriously? Are you 5? It's not like anyone can talk you out of it. There are like so many threads out there with the same bs. What do you want to listen? Tell me and i ll feed you the answer you want. You are an adult and you are capable of making your own decision. All the facts are out there and just read and make up your mind.
Btw, the lightbleed thing is silly. How often do you use your screen completely black with max backlight? You should check how much it annoys you when you use it casually like wathing movies.

I thought that some light bleed is to be expected because of the IPS screen?
I have a little too and small speck of dust under the screen. Personally, I would rather not gamble that I get back a "better" version since the light bleed is somewhat unavoidable. As far as the dust goes, I try not to think about it or look for it, and it seems to be fine, but it is just one speck.
I had a hard drive crash on my iMac, so I took it in under warranty. They must have had hairy gorillas working on it because it came back with several dead pixels on the built in screen. I sent them a complaint, but I'd be a fool to send it back to the zoo. I wish they just gave me the bare drive and I could have replaced it myself- faster, better, slicker.
Maybe it's kinda like an old car with strange noises coming out of the engine- just turn up the speakers until you can't hear the knocking... ooops bad analogy.
I've never seen/had a device were people didn't complain about something as stupid as "light bleed" but for some reason when it comes to the TF, it's starting to get out of hand... Either Asus knows how to attract the most misinformed/least technologically informed customers OR they are hiring thousands of agents to invade household all over the world forcing people who don't want the TF to buy it, thus leaving them no option but to seek some imaginable help from the internet.
If somebody is holding a gun to your head at this very moment and claims to be a ASUS rep just *wink* and i'll come to your rescue.
Light bleed is just a side effect of the technology. If you don't like it don't RMA it it. RMA is for defective merchandise, which this is not. These forums are like some scary groupthink center where everyone conspires to have the same stupid thought and then repeat it over and over ad nauseum.
All of these repeated RMAs for a non-defect are one of the reasons why companies are forced to use bargain binned parts to maintain a reasonable overhead. It's a vicious cycle.
Here is what you do:
Return it and get your money back and buy a different product. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is nice. The Apple iPad is a good product with high spec components. Buy what you like and don't complain about non-defects.
Or...
Keep it and deal with it. Does this light bleed prevent it from completing ANY of the tasks for which it is capable? No. Of course it's annoying, but is NOT a defect.
sassafras
I say put a post it note on your Transformer when you send it in that says, "Please send my device back with no backlight bleed and no dust under the screen, k thanks." That should do the trick...
I wasn't happy with the light bleed on my TF and I got a refund, it got progressively worse over several days, I did attempt to get a replacement unit but it had even worse light bleed.
If you feel unhappy with it, change it or ask for a refund if that's possible.

If I were you I would do a search on 'OCD'.
Understanding the problem may help fix it.
Closing this thread as it's just another one of the same.
I own a Droid 4 and recently dropped it, cracked the digitizer, and replaced it. Now my touch screen is only detecting these thin horizontal lines on the upper half of the screen. I'm wondering if it's possible that I screwed up the phone on disassembly/reassembly or if it's more likely that the new digitizer is defective.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
Alex
P.S. The attachment is a screen shot of my phone running an app which detects points sent by the touch screen/digitizer and records them.

Bump
Firstly - please don't bump your own threads, and certainly not until at least 24 hours have passed.
Secondly - The reason for you not getting a reply is likely due to the fact that XDA is actually supposed to be a "Development" site, not a "Hardware" site
Thirdly - The likelihood is that you either;-
a) bought a cheap, eBay special digitiser which is not fully compatible
b) didn't get the connections right on install
c) broke something else inside the phone when you dropped it
Start off by taking it all apart again and rebuilding it, if that doesn't work then decide if you want to spend more money buying another digitiser or just ditch the phone and get a new one.
P.S. Why include a pointless poll for this thread?
P.P.S. Not sure why, but you have made two posts and XDA shows you as only making one. Strange.
That is classic yo, made my night. Well I was just checkin in here cause I couldn't find a more appropriate forum. I figured someone might know something, but yeh sorry bout the bumps. Although it did get you to respond, hopefully I didn't break something. I don't think so because everything on the phone works perfectly, I even fixed the little headset speaker. After much arm pulling I finally convinced the company to give me a refund, we'll see if a new one does the trick.

Hi there, just thought I would share this with you and ask what you think.
So, I have a Moto G 3rd (bought it a month ago), I quite liked it and was a good upgrade from my original Moto G. However, I never expected it to be so fragile. After one small fall (like 30 cm) my screen seems to be completely messed. I mean the display, as outside the phone is just fine, no cracks or anything, and it was the first time I dropped it. Here's a picture:

}
This is really disapointing, and I'm in complete shock, as probably warranty won't cover it and the phone was a major investment for me. Has any of you had a similar experience? Is the moto G not as resistant has it once was? The original one could take a LOT of damage, and it just dying like this on me breaks my heart.
So, what should I do? I contacted Motorola on the website and after a long talk they basically just told me to go to the store where I bought it, which I'll do thursday (it's far from where I live), but I fear they won't offer help. If they don't, is there a way to still send it to Motorola and pay for the repairs? I've tried china replacements on other phones and was never quite satisfied, and this is a new phone :/
Thanks for reading, needed to share my pain!
That's exactly what happened to my previous phone (samsung galaxy s3 neo). Screen was ok, also because it was protected by a tempered glass, but the lcd broke and only showed a few purple lines.
Unfortunately, the outside screen spare was quite cheap (30 euros) while the lcd repair was 120 euros, so I decided to buy the moto. A bumper should protect from this kind of accident.
I'm afraid it's bad news.
Hi guys, just here for a quick update.
I went back to the store and since the device was in very good shape they sent it to warranty and said it could go off has a gpu fault.
I'll update when I, hopefully, get it back!

Great news, let's keep finger crossed and hope they can fix it for free.
Hi again!
Just here to tell you guys I got my phone back and the repair was covered by warranty! Hope my story helps if anyone runs into similar trouble. It was fairly quick too! (2 weeks)
Bear in mind my phone only had 1 month and was in really good shape (no scratches).
Hello everyone as many of you know (or maybe not) I used to be an active member in here posting everywhere I could poke my head into... I even run the index (which I still have yet to add mokee and cm 13 its coming soon just shows how inactive I have been.) a while back ago I posted about breaking my Moto X Pure and it was even suggested I don't make this post because that post exists... (you can find that post here) Quite recently I managed to break this phone again. the first time the digitizer (or whatever the name is) stopped working from a small crack at the top of the screen... This time the digitizer stopped working but the whole screen was shattered.... I have been phoneless since Tuesday when I dropped it from waist height (I'm 5'3 waist height isn't that high) in a case on a flat surface... Instead of me going and replacing the screen AGAIN or buying a brand new phone (whats the point if they break so gosh darn easily) I forked up some money and bought myself a Gold Nexus 6p. I will still be maintaining the Index to best of my abilities however I think it is understandable if I am not as active as usual... Yes I have pictures no the person in the pictures is not me...

Bad luck mate, I have dropped mine twice already and it is still going strong. Did you pay for the warranty?

OMG, by AK-47?
You could try adding some of that stuff used to repair cracks in windshields. Makes those nasty buggers just disappear. Worth a shot!
If you already have the tools, why not replace the screen again? you could buy 5 or 6 screens for the price of a new phone.

What case were you using? I'm figuring out which to buy right now and it'd be nice to know which ones to stay away from.
a case isn't gonna protect your screen from impact. you should still get a tempered glass screen protector
