Its pressable and loose there is there a way to fix this? Its near the edge. I heard if you put something heavy on it overnight the adhesive will reattach.

Mine is also somewhat loose, but it is like that on purpose. Flexibility is key if you do not want your screen to crack even easier. If your screen is completely rigid it will not survive a fall as well as a flexible screen.
HTC made it that way, I believe.

Well that technique might work. Obviously you'd want to put a piece of cloth in between the phone and the object you're using as a weight.
Or, if it's on the edge as you say, one of those wooden clothes pins, or other type of spring clamp (I'd go easy on that option, some of those clamps are powerful and could be too much.)
I don't know how permanent this method would be in the long run, especially when hotter whether comes around. If the adhesive was poorly applied in the first place, or if the adhesive was of a weak batch at the factory, the problem, it seems to me, will just resurface.
Though it's a PITA, the only 100% successful fix is a warranty replacement.

I just tried pushing down in the area on my phone, and I see what you're saying.
There's a flexibility, but it's uniform -- it will flex slightly anywhere along that edge that I press.
Without more detailed info from the op, it's hard to tell whether this is what he's referring to, or, since he did indicate "near the search button," whether the just that corner is lifting noticeably compared to the others.

There is actually thread about this already, but I will say something. I had this problem, except mine grew worse and now the bottom middle of the screen has lifted just like the edge. I have been fighting with ATT to replace my phone under warranty since I don't want to wait 2 weeks on htc. I had to threaten to cancel all my ATT services and report them to the bbb on their face book page before some one from corporate contacted me. Now they are over nighting me a referbed.

It is actually a manufactures defect, according to both the htc reps I talked to, but believe me it is a hassle to get att to do anything. They wanted me to pay 125 for insurance or 399 for a refurb. I was like are you f***ing serious? You want me to pay the "new" price for a refurb phone under warranty when I already payed out of contract price, and the phone came from the manufacture that way..Any way long story short after a few threats of cancellation and a 3-way call with htc, they told me to drive an hour and a half to a device support center, and gave me a 25 dollar credit... This pissed me off even more, so I ranted on their face book and some one from corporate told me to email them and now they are replacing my phone.

I just now noticed it on mine as well. Mine isn't even noticable unless you're trying to press on it and feel it "press down", but even then it barely moves. There is an adhesive layer underneath and I imagine just applying some heat from a heat gun may re-attach the glass to it.
Well just got my referb in the mail, screen still does the same, but no where near what the old one did. The old one would flex half the bottom left of the screen and cause major discoloration. Just reflashed the old one now to root the new one XD. Btw the sent it out today and I got it today.. sweet..

Wow. The new one does the same? This was an ATT-based refurb?
If so, now I'm REALLY convinced ATT doesn't do **** to the refurb phones to fix them prior to resending out the phone to another customer for a warranty replacement. Captivate reburbs were/are dog****.
The least they can do is check to see the phone they are sending out as a replacement doesn't have the same problem as the phone they are replacing.
Hope you don't have to go through this crap again. Remember what you, yourself said, the other one just got worse.
HTC may be the only true solution.

Well if the last phone is any sign about this one. I will have already upgraded to the holiday since my upgrade is this month and that's the phone I am waiting for, this will still have a warranty on it, so I won't have a problem sending it in for 10 days - 2 weeks to have it fixed completely. Right now I don't have a back up phone, since my blackberry took a poop which is why I bought this out of contract.

I kept my captivate as a backup, which I got because I had my Blackberry take a ****, as did you, so I wasn't going through that crap again should problems surface with the inspire which, luckily, hasn't happened so far.
I had to buy THIS phone off-contract because the captivate, well, know know the story with those phones.

My screen is lifting as well. Luckily I am in the 30 day window, so I will likely unroot and exchange for another one. I can't go back to my Aria now that I have experienced the Inspire. I'll cross my fingers that I get one that doesn't have the issue.
Thankfully I'm not noticing anything wrong with any of my corners of my inspire, but I really should get some type of screen protector for this phone, I'm starting to notice some very small lines on the glass, I guess they were right when they mentioned that the glass can't be scratched by a key, but can be easily scratched by small dust.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
On my new Inspire you can just see the corner move a little when you press it. I guess I'll keep an eye on it. If it gets worse in the first thirty, I could always take it back to the Shack. Maybe get a red one to replace it.

I'm sure you can scratch it with a key. Metal is metal. It will eventually abrade anything except another metal that is harder than itself.
It's not standard "on the shelf" dust. It's the dust of materials that are hard enough to have abrasive qualities that are going to scratch things.
I've had my phone since March 2nd, heavy usage every day. Never had a screen protector. Around all sorts of potential damaging particulates. ZERO scratches, scuffs, or marks of any kind.
Always kept in a felt lined belt holster. Never set down with screen facing down. Never put it in my pocket, no matter if the pocket is empty or not.
Obviously, dropping the phone is a whole other scenario, but aside from that, it's all in the care and handling...
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?

Boxes are always open to insert sim into the phone itself.
Also, you can peel the sticker and put it away. It's mainly for inventory usage and ID.

A lot of the phones in our inventory have no seals at all. I wouldn't worry about it.
Box was open and the phone was already on. I'm gonna do a factory reset just to make sure
This is why i always pick up my phone at the store
Then i can watch them open it and all the other assorted goodness that goes along with unboxing. My only complaint, no beats brand headphones.

Lucky. I just went to 2 stores (have a dead pixel) and neither would let me exchange until Sunday. Total BS, because we all know they got them in the back. :/
Oh yeah, mine was opened as well, ordered no commitment, so there was no sim installed. Also had scuff marks on back, but was able to rub them off.
A manager could have swapped it out and changed the inventory the next day.
You can do almost anything in an AT&T if you're convincing enough w/ a manager.
And there's nothing wrong for exchanging them. You're buying a brand new phone, it should be in absolutely perfect condition. Every run of phones will have small numbers of units with imperfections. It's always worth exchanging them.
For anyone who buys it on the 6th, look it over closely. Before you even walk out of the door. Stand right in front of that rep and look it over closely with the screen on.
Extremely disappointed in the packaging. For one thing, I can put in my own card. But the outer box was almost double the size of the phone box (with no packing paper or bubble wrap to secure it)...which means it was bouncing around from Texas to Chicago. Works ok, but I hope it didn't loosen anything up.
Mine was open too. I was pretty disappointed about that.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I didnt notice mine open, but the phone was not on and when I powered it on the battery was at 96%.
i really cant remember lol but i had to set it up, guess it was on, no worries
Phone seal was broken. SIM in. Phone came turned off and showed 1/2 battery
Mine was sealed but I purchased it off contract.
I purchased the phone as a family line upgrade, and I had to go from a SIM to microSIM. Yet, my box was sealed (but the uSIM was inside the phone). I guess someone put it in, and then applied the seal to the box
EDIT: The phone was switched off.
i ordered mine today for white 149.99! I hope it comes sealed, otherwise i'm storming into the att store for exchange ^_^

hi everyone, i have a quick question.
i noticed yesterday that my screen was starting to come loose on the top corner of my phone, i could push it back in and within 10 min it was back out. (this also happened on my htc inspire)
i returned the phone to at&t and my new one is more solid but i do notice that it does push in the bezel a tiny bit also on all corners and sides.
do i have another bad phone? is anyone else seeing this with there phone?
thx for the help
it flexes a bit with light pressure, but if the problem is severe or impedes the use of the phone, then return/exchange it.
my first phone was fine at first but then the right corner popped out about a 16th of an inch from the back case and the other side was fine. the phone was still fine to use though.
i am wondering if the tiny bit of flex around the edge is normal or if mine will eventually work loose again.
Mine is a bit creaky around the top and bottom but I dont think it is worth taking back for
I exchanged my first HOX because of this. It started in one corner and then quickly spread to three.

The T-mobile one came without a water sticker. But after sending for repair, they put like 15532550563 stickers on. I would just contact the seller.
Walter damage.
I was in the bathtub about 6 months ago and I fell asleep and dropped my One-S in the water. I awoke pretty quickly and sat up frantically searching for my phone. I found it because the display screen illuminated most of the water as it sat submerged.
I grabbed the phone, powered it down, opened the top backplate and hand dried the SIM card and anything else I could.
I was going to leave it to try overnight, but the thought of seeing it lit up underwater made me turn it on after 2 hours. It has worked fine ever since.

I tend to attribute it to the high quality HTC craftsmanship.
However, as much as I have been an exclusive HTC owner since the Nexus One, I think I will probably go with Samsung next (or next year's Nexus). HTC, with their capitulation to TMO in preventing S=off and other annoying things HTC has been doing as of late is forcing me to reconsider my loyalty.

It isnt as black and white as it seems, it depends what gets moist inside. One person drops it into bathtub and it still works, i had the phone quite moist all over(because of condensate) it and a month later i had to change motherboard which cost 190€
