A few weeks ago i got a new back cover of the HTC 7 pro while mine was the paint going off. and i just leave the first one as it is, and used the new one for some weeks now and i must say its the same faulty hardware, the metal is good, but the paint is going so easy off. and i handle my unit with care, really care! now i have scrubed all the silver paint from the first one and it shines now like a new one. and the letters where fallen out to before i modified it. so if somebody has the same phone and problems, this is what you could make it to and for the future, HTC don't paint the back cover any more, please. with just a little sweat on it it goes easily off!
i uploaded some pictures, of one piece like it is before, one after. and then the two side by side...
The 'h' on mine has fallen off

thats the truth behinf the manufacturing of HTC. but they have an really really good customer service. i ordered twice the back cover and get it (twice) and a battery, but that was an mistake of HTC.

Just thought I'd share the case I picked for my Inspire. You can buy it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Thermoplastic-Polyurethane-Universal-Silicone/dp/tech-data/B004PJY8P0
And, no, I'm not the seller lol
At a first glance, it doesn't look very cool, but their picture on Amazon is just crappy and doesn't represent what it really looks like. So, I took a couple of pictures for you to see:

Sorry for the big size, but I wasn't gonna spend time editting pics for this purpose. Overall, it's thin (which is the way I like for my cell phone cover), gives you good grip but doesn't collect dust, and has a semi-transparent cool look to it. The best part is, it's only $7! (+shipping = about $10).
I know it looks a little bluish in the pics, but it's the lighting. It's actually the same color as the back metal cover of Inspire 4G.
I'm pretty happy with it. Oh, just so you know, the free silicone ball stand is a junk, so forget about it. I already threw it away. It doesn't bother me because I wanted the case, and it's a good case for the price!

So its bothering the hell out of me right now. It doesnt look like a dead pixel, I see it when the screen is off. So its more like a piece of dirt stuck between the screen and the glass.
Its mainly bothering me since its a brand new device.. Should I just settle or do I bother to go back and exchange it?
I've never dealt with Sprint CS before. Any tips? Can I just walk in and ask for an exchange? I'm not the main account holder though, my sister is.
If you go to a corporate store they order a new one. Good thing for you since this phone is new that you probably get a new one and not a refurb. They will run test and probably ask you to do a hard/soft reset to see if that fixes it. But you SHOULDNT have a problem.

Hm sounds good.
What counts as a corporate store though? Any of the big yellow sprint-only stores?
Theres one near my campus but I dont know if I trust it, shady neighborhood haha.
I'll drop by and see what they say though.
As you see in the picture the red color is coming off with no reason. Any idea what I can do to prevent or repair it?

Honestly, I've got this issue going on with my phone too. If you have a screen protector on, I'd say don't worry about it! Just look for a new back cover (which the speaker area is part of) on eBay for like $15-20 when you're ready to sell it, then take off the screen protector, replace the back cover, and then you'll have a Sensation XE ready to sell in virtually brand-new condition.
(PS: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-Rear-B...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3cc80805ad <- Just for reference, you're talking about $20 or so...so feel free to just use it as it is now!)
Or just paint it red again. Just take off the back battery cover and the red speaker cover/protector just pops out with a little push. With red spay paint, just give it 1 quick spray n it'll be like new. I did it with my desire s today, sanded it down n im gona spray it white n paint the speaker cover n buttons red

I'm noticing that after having the M8 since release date that the screen is starting to separate from the body in the lower right corner. you can't notice it but of you push on that area slightly firmer than you normally would you can feel it bend and flex as though its no longer connected to the body. I've had it in a case and have dropped it maybe twice from a small distance to carpet. something you should keep an eye out for.

HTC want me to secure $299 with a credit card so they can have the option to tell me it was my fault, really... I asked if they would give the option to get my phone back and they said no. My reply was, why would I buy this phone again knowing it has this issue.
That sucks.., what happened to the customer is always right? Just kidding they will probably say you took the phone apart to try mess with its guts.
Just got a Huawei mate xs 512g blue with box and everything but the one who had it before removed the og screen protector , i ordered a alien screen protector 3d gel something... But luck was not on my side , dropped it yesterday on the house stairs , some fine sand managed to kill a group of pixels in the bottom right corner and with this the digitizer i think is affected since i have ghost touch and 15% of the left side is non responsive to touch..... 740£ to fit a screen is not worth it since i paid 650£ for the phone itself.... I've been to some repair centre that only made me hear what i did not want to hear meaning all said a new oled .... Next week i should be in Vietnam for 30 days... I will try to find someone who can repair it there for less...or anyone has a link for a og oled panel ?
Thank you for reading !
The damage itself.... Not bothering me ....but folded the phone is unusable due to ghosting , unfolded no ghost touch just a part not working.... Not responding to touch
