Looking at buying a slide tomorrow. Is there anything I need to be alarmed of? Do these have screen issues, or any of the like? Just don't want to buy a defective device. Thanks!

HTC = Great quality
No real problems it's such a solid phone, so much so that developer "Blue61X" has bought two of these phones.
a few people said they had dust under there screen but i doubt you need worry, enjoy your slide, its got some real great things going for it all of a sudden the development section here has gone from ~ none to a lot of awesome ROMs.
YES THERE IS ONE THING
Open up a few different boxes and feel the keyboards. We don't have the best keyboard on a phone, they are built strong and built to last, but make sure your specific phone has a keyboard you are content with. My friend has a mt4gs and his keyboard feels better than mine.
Also I just noticed u said ur getting a mytouch 4g, don't get the mytouch 4g, get the mytouch 4g slide =)

And. Get the anker 1900 mah 2 battery set that comes with the wall charger off of amazon.
This way u can keep one charging and one being used.
The stock battery gets hot, wears out fast, and the heat is bad for your phone in general.

Are the new mt4gs phones on the latest ota? It might make it a pain in the as$ to root

Great phone, keyboard, front camera, good back camera, big screen, good processor. Overall its a good phone, only complaint is the genius button. I wish it was just regular search but you can change that if you're rooted.

Thanks guys! I've had good and bad luck with HTC in the past but this phone just looks amazing all around. I am buying this phone pre owned also. If I don't feel it's right, then I definitely won't move on it but I am excited to see what it has in store! Will update after I check it out.
The only real issue is battery life. If you can afford it, buy a Mugen; otherwise, get the Anker two-pack.

Got one!!
Gotta say overall I love it. Got it brand new, about a month old, for $160.
Here's why. The screen has the oh so lovely dust particles formed under the screen coming from the bottom left and shooting to the middle of the screen.
I thought HTC learned by now?! Either way, I'm happy and in my eyes i stole it from the guy.

you may be able to get the dust removed under warranty. All 4G Slides still have factory warranty from HTC.
Just check to make sure there's no water damage and that one of the screws on the back is covered by a VOID sticker.
Send it in!

Doesn't matter if you're not the original owner. Factory warranty starts from date the phone was manufactured
And if it happens again, at least you'll have a clean phone for the time being

I know this because I just sent my phone in. Took 5 days to ship out. It's going to Texas. They turned it around on the same day. I was amazed. But they do tell you repairs can take anywhere from 6-10 days not including shipping. I'm sure they just say that to stay safe.
You have to pay for shipping though. They will not provide a label.

Awesome. I've never done warranty before so I'm all new to that. I imagine I just ring them up and go from there?
I am not the original owner of the one I sent in.
Neither of mine have the dust issue - mainly because I keep them in cases.
I attached some pictures below - they are pocket sized cases, fit with the trident case around the phone, and have pockets for accessories and batteries.
The zipper on the cases keeps the dust out, and the outer nylon shell makes it slide in and out of my pocket easily.
Notifications are not muffled by the extra layers of fabric, the sounds pierce it quite well and is no different then being in your pocket, vibration works full as well.
Just a thought - but for something this expensive and tiny, I try to take as good care of it as possible.

Heh, well, I want to carry my recovery microsd card, which has a factory restore image on it and other recovery utilities...my usb thumb drive with all of my data, recovery tools and android SDK as well as portable programs on it...then there's the retractable USB cable and cigarette lighter adapter for a car...
The only thing I can't fit in the primary case (black/grey) is an ac adapter, but the rest fits and it's nice and slim.
The other case (red/grey/black kodak) has the second device, video cable, ac adapter and the factory usb cable. It's a bit bulkier, and not my daily travel - but still fits in an upper pants pocket without trouble.

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.

Are we talking about extended warranty here? If so, sorry to burst your bubble, but the regular one year manufacturer's warranty will cover this also -- without having to shell out that extra $6 a month
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.
Anyone know who the OEM for the LCDs are?
never had that problem with any of my htc's

I never buy the extended warranty but I do get insurance. Considering how many times I've used it, it's been worth 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.

Crappy phone? It's one of the best Android phones out right now. There are a FEW people having issues. Happens with every cell. Guess the MT4G isn't for you. I'm loving it!

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
I stumbled on this http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Black-Open-Screen-Design.html
and was wondering if anyone had it or had reviews about it, looking to see that it wont interfere with keyboard like some do.

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.
Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting
Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....

DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck

The paint on the kickstand is chipping away, but that's not really a big deal but now the back of the speaker is lifting up. The only thing I am afraid of is if they send me another phone it more then likely will be a refurbish unit and on top of that the phone that I have now don't really have any reboot problems. My XDA fellows what should I do?
Oh yea I know somebody going say I dropped my phone and etc, that's not the case I notice the build quality on this phone is not very good
I'd be leary given the rebooting issues, but to be honest I have faith in refurbs. Never treated me wrong.

Handle my phone very carefully....I notice the paint coming off the same day I purchased it. Never dropped my phone.
I came from the hd2 and imo it has way better build quality then this phone
I would just put a tiny dap of super glue if you go that route, also i have had good luck with refurbs over the years but i know several people that have not been so lucky unfortenetly.
Also if the kick stand is pealing hit it with a little sand paper and polish looks way better that way. Saw a post some one made in the general forum and it looked really nice so did it myself as well.
DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE!
My plastic speaker grill on my Bolt started to come up so I put some super glue on it thinking it'd stick it back down. WRONG! The glue started to come up through the small holes in the speaker grill and now it's very rough to the touch and I cannot remove it.
Also, the paint on my kickstand is also peeling, but that's not a problem. All you need to do is sand the paint of with a Scotchbrite Pad and then polish it. It looks better than new.

reason why I dont want to go the reboot route is because I am real scared to get a unit that's going reboot every sec. So far I am really not having much problems with this unit when it comes to rebooting. The speaker thing is really bothering me..its like when you a little kid and you keep on picking at your cut

I say that if you have not voided your warranty send it back. This is what a warranty is for.
If you get a phone that reboots all the time keep sending them back as well untill you get a working Thunderbolt. Enough people send the phone back for "real" warranty issues and maybe HTC will improve their build quality.
Sorry but just like dadsterflip said I'm very picking when it comes to cosmetic as well and what your describing would drive me nuts or I would just end up hating the phone.
I returned my first Thunderbolt because of the light leak at the bottom of the screen and made them open 4 brand new Thunderbolts to find one that did not have the same issue.

Yeah, that's what some dude on twitter told me he used to sand down his kickstand lol... I actually tried it a few hours after that post and it didn't work to well... maybe I was doing it wrong, though lol.
Got my refurbished phone yesterday and it rebooted five times today...I am sending it back and keeping this phone wit the broken speaker grill...I'm not getting another unit until they release the new update at the end of the month...couldn't hang up phone calls...couldn't put the phone on airplane mode....really disappointed with HTC and this phone...I can't wait till a better phone comes out
The coating on my kickstand started peeling like two days after I bought the phone. I've been peeling it off ever since. Definitely not a misuse scenario, just a poor coating. Doesn't really bother me since it'll all be gone soon anyways. I'd be a little pissed if the speaker grille started coming off though.
spoke to about three representatives and they said an updated is coming at the end of the month.....The speaker grill is really bothering me tho but I can't take swapping out refurbish phones just find a working unit...hopefully the new update fixes this issue
I heard the update is being released 6-15-11...

Heard end of the month...one rep said its gingerbread but I don't think he knows what he's talking about
so my g2x is kind of roughed up (i've had the same one since april guess i got lucky cause i've had minimal issues) and I can't stop thinking about just callin tmobile and gettin a new one but i don't even know if it's worth it cause i don't wanna end up with a bad one and end up switching a million more times for cosmetic damage (which isn't what i'd tell them) but I heard a lot of people just get sensations for it instead which I'm thinking about doing simply because it's worth more (which i think is bullshi*) and just sell it as soon as i get it as a new phone and just cut my losses and go somewhere else ? I don't really want to let this phone go but with the way i handle it and what it's worth right now in the market I really don't think it's worth the extra 200 bucks i'd loose but idk where else i'd go either so idk . . .don't mind the hashtag i don't fux with twitter but i thought the tag suited the feeling... don't forget i <3 my g2x im just torn..nohomo.
so, because you "roughed yours up", you feel tmobile owes you a new one? you made it sound like that was your main concern--the cosmetic damage which YOU caused. does anyone in this country have any morals left?

Mytouch 4g had a hard plastic and scratched the sides. It was an eye sore and hated that I caused that damage to my phone.
I was more careful with the g2x and ended getting a rubber case. Easy removal, no scratches and can treat the phone rough without worry. When it didn't have the case I felt like my phone was naked.
Rubber case is best option
While I have never had one replaced for cosmetic reasons, I have enjoyed getting a nice replacement. I never really beat mine up though. All my phones looked pristine aside from a new TINY scratches. Never really did anything I couldn't live with.
There are ways around cosmetics though. It isn't like the G2x never had any problems that Tmobile wasn't aware of. Something simple as "the GPS doesn't work" could do it. However Tmobile charges $20 for replacements and if its pretty banged up, they may say it was user damage and not replace it.
ok real talk T-Mobile is happily getting paid and willing to give all their **** to ATT so why would I honestly think twice before making a legitiment financial decision about this phone since honestly i had a LG before and it just quit working the software just bailed on the phone outta nowhere but if they're going to be douches and not support our phones and what not why should i feel obligated to be a good Samaritan after #1 they lied to me in April saying the update will be out in 2 weeks #2 LG didn't even make a legitiment update yet. and this phone is worth 100 dollars less than a sensation and i don't F****ing know why and it pisses me off so yea if I switch it out for my cosmetic issues or w.e to make some of my money back i put in this phone which is still going to be a loss i don't see why it would be considered morally wrong especially after i know everyones been dicked by tmobile before atleast if you've been with them for a while.

so, because you "roughed yours up", you feel tmobile owes you a new one? you made it sound like that was your main concern--the cosmetic damage which YOU caused. does anyone in this country have any morals left?
my body glove case scratched up the side of my phone from taking it on and off all the time. i'm gettin me a new gs2!

So you're getting a SGS2? I thought you were already over at the SGS2 forums because there is someone else with the same avatar pic, lol.
You'll feel right at home because we already have an EB rom and a few others, not to mention Team Whiskey should hopefully have something up next week.
Honestly I'm loving my SGS2, I thought the phone size was gonna be a problem, but after a few hrs you get use to it and it really ain't that much bigger than the G2X.
Hercules Hercules!!
on a side note i decided to just wait for it..
Dropped my HTC One X this morning and outcome not so good......

Ouch. That makes me sad
I've dropped mine a couple times, but I've been lucky and both times it bounced away unharmed.
You should send it for a repair. "I'm having issues with the software it keeps freezing".
That's fun! But really I think you could probably find a repair service for fairly cheap.

"For some reason the touchscreen stopped responding... Also the display doesn't seem as, uh, crisp as it used to."
LOL Thanks guys for making my day, getting a good chuckle out of it.
I already replaced the phone since I work at a dealer, but still going to get this fixed one way or another.
Talking with HTC about the possibility of a bad batch of gorilla glass as this isn't a standard break pattern for GGlass
Feel your pain man. Been there done that, unfortunately.
That does look like an odd break. Keep us posted as to what HTC says.
Wow, that's iPhone levels of breakage. Very odd.
B-BUT IT HAS GIRILLA GLASS! IT TOUGH! NO BREAK. NO BREAK GURILLA GLASS. GARILLA BIG TOUGH MONKEY! GLASS BIG AND TOUGH TOO!
All kidding aside, I'm sorry for your luck, OP. Did it land on the corner, or how did you drop it?

Another user stated that HTC will replace the screen for $220. Not cheap, but ot horrible either. Its not an easy repair due to the way the One X is constructed, so trusting it to a 3rd party repair shop may lead to mixed (or horrible) results, like this one did (and probably won't save you much money over using HTC):

Thread also mentions the HTC repair for $220.
That price from HTC isn't bad at all considering insurance deductibleb would be $200 along with the $7 per month you would have been paying. Plus, it's done by HTC.

oh ouch. feel your pain. did that to mine the other week. hopefully soon going to order a replacement from repairsuniverse.com since its the only somewhat legitimate place i have found for a screen replacement besides ebay and $100 is way better that $220. what is an unusual crack pattern for the gorilla glass? mine does look a little similar to yours.

Sadly, I encounter people who think like that every day. They get visibly down when I tell them that it's scratch-resistant glass; not break-proof.
Yeah that really is an unusual break.
Maybe HTC will give you a new one that you can sell

That first part is my new Sig, hope you don't mind blackplague
Just looking at it makes me want to put my little goodness inside the otterbox defender :crying:
Hope you get it fixed and enjoy it like you did and maybe this time treat it gentle?

that should be a warranty job filed under defective factory standard parts, same thing should be done by apple for all their products as they have halfassed everything, I mean look at their logo its not even a full apple.

Some woman came into the AT&T store as I was getting my One X complaining about how she broke the glass and it's supposed to be this ultra fancy unbreakable glass etc. and the rep had the funniest face I've ever seen before replying with "Uh, yeah, it clearly says it's scratch resistant, not break resistant. Sorry!" Fun times.
you know what i hate sometimes?
when someone calls you and you pick up to answer, realizing that the charging cable is connected and its pretty short.... and you end up dropping the phone -rolls eyes-

I have a USB extension cord plugged into my charger all the time because of this.
