Anyone else having issues with the capacitive buttons not lighting up? My back button works fine, but it's not lit at all.
Faulty Hardware
It may be you got a bad one, looks like your going to have to return it...

Turn your screen off and you'll see that there are no lights. When I turn my screen back on I'll see the buttoms. It's just the lights aren't bright enough. Can someone else post a screen shot of theirs?

Those lights look REALLY faint too.
I cann't understand how is possible some phones to be defective (either is the not lighted back button, either is GPS issue etc) and some to work properly....???
Aren't all from the same company (Samsung)??? Don't all phones manufactured in the same production line???
What the [email protected] is going on??? I cann;t believe what i am reading in all Nexus S threads...
Isn't supposed to be all phones exactly the same ones????

Double rainbow?! What does this MEEEAAAAN?
In seriousness, no two things are identical. Some phones could have been damaged in shipping, or slipped through the quality assurance program. Just because a company mass produces a product doesn't mean that each one of them are exactly the same.

I guess phones are demo phones for retailers that can't be used for anything else anyway
More importantly, I'd like to know the post-testing results. Able to dry out and work like new? Any screwy controls/gross display issues? Would be cool knowing that if my phone did happen to take a dip it wouldn't mean an automatic send-off to the manufacturer.

Funny you should say that, I had a similar problem with my S2, some sort of debris got into the port, and it blew the whole charging PCB ! Found one instantly on ebay tho so it was clearly a known issue.

What real life scenario do these "hammer tests" replicate? Of course it will smash your phone if you use a bloody hammer! As for water/beer test, not as worse, but still silly. And doesn't prove a thing either, mind.

I'm sorry, but that phone worked pretty well after the experiment
Hurtful to watch, but at least we know that the phone is water and beer resistant lol

Interesting experience for a non water resistant device. It's the charging and usb port still working? Speakers and microphone?

Then these pixels are very likely to be dead.They have this color even on the HTC-Bootscreen, right?

Hey all, i've waited the end of summer to take my htc to the shop where i've bought, but surprisingly the dead pixel disappeared
Sincerely i don't understand why my cellphone are alive and can repair itself :laugh: Lucy me!
Problem solved
I accidentally dropped my Sensation XE, got some small black lines in my screen. Then they grow large. So i played high defination games and make my screen hot, then the black line extended more. After it I cooled my phone under AC or in freezer. After 2 month they all are gone.
So happy about it. May be you guys try it if you have same problem.
I'm not planning on getting a nexus 9 quite yet, but in case any of you are interested in getting one, you should really consider also getting a stylus for the screen. I use my stylus for everything on there, and this saves me from having to use a screen protector, which makes the display a whole heck of a lot better. I've used a few different styli, and this amPen stylus is pretty good, by my standards. You can even get replacement tips.
Resolution of touch screen ...?
Does anyone know the sensitivity of the digitizer? I would like to use a very fine tip stylus (like the directstylus included with the nvidia shield tablet), but am concerned that often tablet digitizers have lower resolution so it would have trouble picking up the small tip...

This one is not a fine tip, and would not be optimal for drawing or note-taking, but this is a terrific substitute for your fingertip, and leaves no finger prints.

Because it requires special NVidia software to recognize fine tip stylus. I haven't heard anything anywhere about support.

WOW!! That's awful! At least you can get your money back! Try an ampen one next, I have that one, and it's pretty good. It is not a fine pointed stylus, but it works as a terrific substitute for your finger, so you get no finger prints. I would check out that one next.

Yeah wow, looks pretty shoddy, but considering I don't see repair parts for the special edition anywhere, I don't think we'd have a choice. I guess with a case on it afterwards you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Quick question - have you compared the connectors of the backlight for the Kenzo and Kate? Is there any difference? Wonder if it might be software related?

Has anybody tried replacing both the screen and the backplate? If we're lucky we only have to change both and then have no 2mm gap between display and housing.

I have just ordered it, it was available for the gold one at least. Previous to the payment I calculated shipping cost to Finland with my address and it was 0€, it said also the delivery time was 7-10 days. After they´ve received the payment (39,42€), they sent an e-mail with the real delivery time: 11/05. So from 7-10 days to 23 days...
I will have time to check some youtube videos about LCD replacement and decide if I will do it by myself, meanwhile I´m already asking for budget is some shops... I´m not quite slick about assemblings/ replacements.
