Just been into phones4u and I can confirm the lense cover is different to the vodafone one I saw on Friday.... the voda one had an almost flush lense cover where as the
P4u phone didn't have a lense cover...
Thought I'd let everyone know asap
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I warned p4u that it was missing the lense and that they probably have a dodgy batch.... you can clearly see that the lense is missing.. .

Could you not have posted this in the other thread? This kind of crap makes it hard to find anything in the forum. Also, my vodafone Sensation has a recessed camera, no flush casing.
Then yours is missing the lense cover that's meant to be on the case..... I'm sorry for making a new thread but personally I'd be happy to know this news if I didn't already know
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Why exactly would it be missing? HTC wouldn't send out a phone with such a GLARING error if it really was an issue.
People have said in the other thread, that all demo devices have covers, but devices we have don't. If you look at, where is the cover meant to go? That black ring inside the case is almost flush with the back of the case.
The phone vodafone let me play with was straight out the box. It was about 1/3mm indented within the case.
I'm not lying I just thought people ought to know. I'm going to there stored on Monday to get it and will maker sure it has the lense cover.

Any photo to confirm?
Like I said, I highly doubt HTC would send out devices with such a massive flaw.
No but I can safely say the phone p4u showed me whilst they checked it was unlocked for me, had a lack of lense composers to the one vodafone showed me on Friday after opening a fresh box for me. Definitely going to vodafone tomorrow to get it as I think the lense cover with be beneficial with time.
Tl;dr. There is definitely a difference from the phones I saw.

It hasnt actually been confirmed by vodafone or htc, your just giving your findings.
As far as I can see, no retail boxed sensation has the lens cover flush with the case.
It only seems to be demo phones that do. Perhaps early production models, used for demo only.
I'll get it tomorrow and show you... I'm not complaining nor am I from another board here to slate the sensation... I'm just reporting my findings as its something I'd like to know if I was missing a lense cover from a phone i just bought. The phone I was shown from vodafone was straight out of the box and not a demo.

What I dont get is how there could be so many phones without it. Its not like it even looks like its missing from my phone, it looks to be designed that way, there is no room to fit an extra lens over the hole.

^I agree with this.
Well, I hope you're not disappointed and find one with a lens cover. But also be ready in the eventuality that the design was changed.
Personally I think the only lens covers which are beneficial are sliding lens covers. Glass ones can get scratched and sure that protects the lens, but the only way to benefit from that protection is to remove the battery cover because if not you're still taking pictures through the scratches. And who wants to take off the cover every time they take a picture?
Please don't think I made this thread purely to spark an argument... it was not the intention if it seems that way. I'm just letting people know that there is definitely as difference.
I've had a bit of time to read peoples comments and am definitely getting the phone tomorrow regardless

I dont think you are trying to spark an argument, just finding it hard to believe there is a fault thats all.
I'm going to be interested to see what your replacement is like and what we hear back from vodafone and htc about the issue.
If it's recessed but edges are sealed that is even better option than if it was levelled with cover, don't you think? Less of a chance of scratching it.

that's what i mean! this is how the vodafone was that i saw on Friday...the case had the lense and it was ever so slightly recessed but it was all sealed.
The one from Phones4U didn't have the case lense, was about 1mm recesssed and Thought to myself dust will get in there a lot more and IF it got scratched, then you most likely need to pay more to fix.
thinking about going into to town at 9am tomorrow to get it from voda so i can spend all day playing with it whilst at work. Pretty sure this is the right phone for me. must admit...the main screen looks great have the curved edges
ok..my last post about this issue until i get the phone for myself tomorrow
I've just watched the slashgear unboxing vid and I'm 100% sure that the one he's carrying is the same one that was shown to me in Phones4u, where as the one i was shown in Vodafone definitely had a sealed lens cover on the rear casing...which would stop dust getting into the camera lens/battery area/chasis.
Can anyone who got it from Vodafone confirm this? I know a letter has been sent out to HTC about this, I'm personally just thinking about other people that are missing the lens, as i really think it's a faulty batch. The phone, when i played with it in P4U really did seem like it was missing the lens and didn't look complete without it.
This video shows a lens cover. Skip to 3:20, also at 4:10. You'll see the reflections.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-yRVxCvv7c
Again, don't know where he got the phone, but he posts here, so should be able to find out.
That video, 4:10, reflection isn't in the surface of the phone...there is no lens cover on that handset...but there isn't on mine either!

Well, guess what? My MT4G is about five hours old and there is already a spec of dust under the screen. On the phone with T-Mobile right now to do a swap. Why can't HTC figure out this dust issue? How hard is it to glue a phone together?
Update: T-Mobile had no problem swapping it for a brand new device because it was so new. Even after that dust under the screen is covered under the one year warranty.
I would just return it, I doubt that many have this problem.

I had grey specks under my screen and I made her the exchange the phone.. the sales girl (a teen ager!) said she didnt see anything, but when I showed it to her in the sun she said "I would never notice that" (like I as being anal! LOL!)
It was the WHITE version...
I've seen other reports of this too. Best to inspect well upon receipt or in store before leaving.
Mine appears to have an issue with the FFC - it looks to be off center to the right. Works fine, but a QC issue for a phone the caliber of this and not impressive for HTC.

I had a single spec of dust under the screen, upper left corner. the girl in the store saw it as soon as I showed a white screen. exchanged it for a new one right in the store, no questions asked.
manufacturing defect? I guess. hope the screen doesn't have some gap that allows in lint because I carry the thing in my pocket all the time.
yep...got a mytouch 4g/hd today aswell. didnt get a chance to play with it until now, about 6 hours later. Smack dab in the middle was what i thought was a dead pixel. upon further inspection its a particle of dust or whatever. super super annoying. i have to exchange the phone and hope this one doesnt have this problem.
any way of removing this foreign particle w/o voiding anything?

Mine is the same, but it doesn't bother me.
I got my mt4g yesterday. First thing I did was look for dust under the screen. Had another mt4g on the way within an hour of getting my first one. The bad part is I got my phone direct from Tmobile so I have to wait for it to arrive. On the brightside they did free express this time.
Anyone got any images showing this? I dont see anything on mine but its only a few hours old and I got it late at night and I'm so tired I'm not even inspecting it that much at the moment. Will go over it tomorrow.
i use to work on LCDs. Basically the clean room wasn't that clean when they were putting on the polarized layer. There is not anything practical you can do to fix it.

No this is a QC issue. There are gaps between the metal bezel that surrounds the glass and the rubbery material that covers up the sides of the phone. The dust/lint that got under my screen was definitely from the device being in my pocket.
I solved this by getting a nice case from T-Mo ($35 but it's sexy) to cover the exposed area. Haven't had a problem since.
I was going to get a mytouch 4g to play with until the nexus s came out. I played with one at t-mobile store and nothing really impressed me. After reading the mytouch 4g thread it sounds like HTC is still making crappy phones. Sounds like the same N1 issues all over again. We used hairdryer to heat up the glass then press the screen back down. I had to do this will all three of my N1's.

I have the tiniest, most annoying lint particle underneath my screen. As of now it is located far left. Seems as if it could make its way to smack dab in the center of my screen though. Kinda sucks but its so tiny you only notice it in full contrast to a white background if you really focus.
a single grey speck of dust in the top right corner, near the clock. Thought it was a dead pixel, but its there even when the phone is off. can only see it if I look really hard into that spot
Hi Guys,
i am thinking of buying a DesireZ at the end of the month. The so called "Hinge-Problem" is none for me (tried the phone in some stores), BUT:
I fount a topic on a german forum, where many users report of color-changes near the metal-parts on the plastic of their phone - some think it is caused by some bags, others say it is the plastic itself which changes color perhaps because of water or sweating....
Here is a link to some pictures a guy posted there to show you what i mean: http://img19.imageshack.us/g/pc0343121024x768.jpg/
On the Pic 2 and 3 you see some red/purple spots....
Can anyone here confirm this??
If this is a material-problem (and this is what it looks like, because users say they tried everything to remove the color without succes....) this would be a no-go for me to buy this phone
Pls help me

This is a known issue. Someone brought this up in a thread on here not too long ago. Some people said their phone changed color without the bag. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the oil from your hands when you old the phone or the acid. I had a pair of glasses do the same thing, and the eye doctor said it was due to the acid in my skin or something along those lines. I put a case on my phone and have had no problems so far.
That's to bad

I've been using one of these slip cases on my phone since I got it. Its a great fit and protects my phone from the innards of my pockets =)
Needless to say, I don't have any discoloration issues here.
ah yes.. I have this problem too.. I brought it to the service center and they change the housing for me.. and the back feels sticky too i feel that this is due to charging the phone and the back of the phone gets too hot..
I bought a cheap holster for my Nexus One and now it has similar markings as those pictures, now for my Z I bought a OEM HTC Leather holster, yes it was a bit expenssive but so far nothing the Z is like new. moral of my story ? spend a little extra get a better case or holster etc, stay away from chepos.
i have some discoloration on the gray plastic on the sides of the keyboard. The demo unit at our t-mobile also has it too.
I have no discoloration on my phone what so ever. But I keep mine in a sleeve style case. I have had out since launch. In my opinion, u won't get much better build quality then this phone. At least not on an android.

My wife has red discoloration on the corners of her G2. Hers is from a new red purse she got. It has a little pocket that her phone fits in and I believe the dye leached into the plastic.

iv had mine since it was released and i dont have it in any kind of case, im pretty carefull with my stuff.
i use it every day and have dropped it a couple of times. i have no discoloration or scratches.
same thing with my "z" but its not a " carring case" issue
I have red coloration on the corners near the track pad
I did contacted clove.co.uk where I bought it and they said that they contacted the HTC and they said that there is no red base plastic used and it's not the coating coming off and that was caused by some external contact. Well, I carried it in the jeans pocket made of dark red fabric, but is that really extreme conditions to dye the coating that easy? I don't think so.
No issues with mine, I luv it.
Have 3 different cases and no issues.
Your thoughts on this guys, It looks nice, but also looks like it has some kind of shield where the antennas are ect

Wow awesome, perhaps this will solve the wifi death grip issue or even the dust issue...
Has anyone purchased it yet?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read in another thread that someone stateside ordered one from ebay or whomever and when they received it, the back didn't fit right. Is the US version different from the overseas version in any way besides the branding of tmobile of course. Just wondering.
If you look at the camera hole, there is no place for the led flashes to flash.
I'm also looking for a silver housing, but this one is not for us, I think.
Edit:
Searched over ebay and found this:
cgi.ebay.de/ORIGINAL-HTC-SENSATION-HOUSING-CHASSIS-BATTERY-COVER-/330586007211?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4cf87626ab
Now, I'm absolutely not sure what the truth is
re: back cover
I ordered mine direct to HTC (oem). they say it will be 8 days. - will post some pics when it arrives.
Did anyone get it ( Qubits one ) ?
are the flash holes really ""CloseD" ?
is this for 4G or for GSM version ?
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.

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.

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?

Don't think the Micro Arc protects from drops.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
you drop it? micro arc oxidation didn't give protection from drops.
Guys,
When I first read this I thought the same thing that the device had been dropped... however I have just looked closely at my own device and the same thing is happening on the sharp edge on the left hand side
My device has NOT been dropped or mistreated in any way.
"It features aircraft 6,000 series aluminum which is treated with micro arc oxidation by blasting it with 10,000 volts of energy. This gives the metal a ceramic feel and causes it to become five times harder (that’s three times stronger than stainless steel).
The shell of the HTC One S is so durable that HTC claims that it does not even need a protective case. "
The shown devices were not droped. A lot of the One S look like this after one week of safely carrying . Belive me, your devices will show the same failure in approxamitly one or two weeks.
It looks like the brittle ceramic skin can't hold on to the flexible aluminum. Like I said major problem with the production technology.
The nice words of HTC are advertising words.
I am not surprised of the problem and I think it to be idiotic to have such a sharp edge. What else can you expect?
Is there anyone else who experiences the same thing?
Damn.. I really wanted the One S. Yet If the ceramic back is this easily damaged without dropping.. I might not get it. I hate cases.

How bad is this problem? Do more people experience it?
Also, does it happen to the blue version as well? Otherwise I might change my pre-order to that..
Gosh that looks bad... Does it really go after rubbing as mentioned by jodue??
The blue one got another treatment. There is no ceramic surface which can come off.
There is no way to rub the damage away. The Oxidation to Al2O3 happens only under high temperatures. If the ceramic skin can't hold on the the aluminum it will be damaged permanently
Wow. This is making me reconsider my choice. Got a One S due for delivery tomorrow and might be tempted to send it straight back either for the grey one or for the One X having seen this.

So if any One S user reads this, could he/she share some experiences with the ceramic surface? Even if you do not have any problems at all. It would be nice to find out if this is just a bad product, or a common problem..
I've had mine a few days and not dropped it or anything, it seems to have started on mine though. If it gets any worse over the next couple of days I'll have to take it back, not sure what to do though as I love the phone and don't like it as much in grey/blue
Anybody contacted HTC about this yet?
