I currently own a G2x and am really interested in picking this baby up. The last few days, however, I've been reading about a lot of issues. These are mainly quality control like wear and tear on the power key, the paintjob coming off on the sides, etc.
I was hoping some of you guys could share your experience with the phone and whether or not I should take the plunge. Is everyone having the qaulity control issues?

My device is working amazingly. great battery and performance. the only paint chip issue is with the black and red model. I have the silver and blue model with absolutely no complaints. My suggestion: get this device!
I am very happy with mine.
I have a D30 cover on it, so I haven't seen the paint issue (or because the T-Mobile US model doesn't have the issue) and my power button works fine.
I also came from a G2X.
Agree with all of them .....one of the best phones out. No disappointment...no regrets with this phone....its the real deal and T-Mobile has an update coming out within a couple of days or so...so any lingering bugs should be fixed...this is a high quality phone built to last! High recommend it to anyone

Sounds like a great phone, but the paint chipping problem on the black and red model is a bummer because that's the one I liked more. Is it a really prevalent issue?

Depends on where you buy it. The US One S doesn't have the issues you mention

The T-Mobile version is the grey+blue version. This one does NOT have the chipping problem. As far as I understand, T-Mo will not be selling the black+red version. The only way to get black+red would be to get the international version shipped from online. The grey+blue (no paint chipping issue) model also has an international version as well (not T-Mo branded). I would prefer to get the T-Mo version (if you have T-Mo) because you can get it for a cheap price with contract extension if your line is upgradable.
Either way: black+red version = chipping problem, grey+blue = no paint chipping problem. The reason is because of the material it is made of. The black one goes through a process called micro oxidation where the metal is zapped with a lot of electricity. This leaves the black finish over the metal, which may chip over time.
I'm really happy with mine too. Only a couple of minor software bugs for me (that will probably be fixed with the OTA).
About the chipping (and pretty much all problems with all phones), it's hard to say how prevalent the problem is, because usually only the people who have problems speak up. You almost never see anyone make a "Who else's phone is perfect and totally awesome!" thread. So there could be hundreds of thousands of people without problems, but you only hear from people with issues, which makes things seem much worse than they are.
If you're really worried, I'd say go for the silver one - still the best looking phone out there, regardless of color. Black is boring anyway.

very simple, made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in usa has to have higher quality otherwise the government of this country will kick htc's butt lol. while made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in whatever party of the world, I dont thing is a big deal
I love my One S. The only thing I'm not totally happy about is the display. Sometimes the right edges of icons or text are a bit pixelated. However, this is not noticeable in games or movies which is what I mostly use mine for anyways. It's a very sexy device, and once I rooted it and put Trickdroid on it with a few tweaks (6 x 5 app drawer and removed the 3 dot menu stuff, remapped the soft touch buttons), it's just shy of perfection. Damn sexy looking too.
So basically I should get the blue version and don't have to worry about the chipping?

Correct. The process they used on the black and red version which causes the chipping was not done on the blue and grey version. =)

I have the One S myself, and yeah, I don't like the screen b/c it's not as high res as the X.
I just got the One S, but am thinking about jumping ship to the SG3. One of the things I like most about the One S, however, is the f/2.0 aperture on the camera which allows for better pictures in a low light situation.
Anymore input?
I'm still considering picking this phone up, convince me not to lol.
I kinda like the greyish color not tho, so the chipping isn't a problem.

At the moment, nothing. There really isn't anything that they can do once the process to the aluminum is completed. A coating to cover it is only as good as what it's covering, and if that chips, well...you get the point.
If you're stuck on the red/black one, just make sure to buy a clear case for it and you should be okay. Alternatively, I maintain that the grey/blue one is pretty sexy. And Samsung's plastic phones with Touchwiz suck. Don't do it. =)
another good reason

original pre ordered G2x problems: decent Bleeding/reboot every few days
2nd G2x: HORRIBLE how can i say this better ..... FUGLY BLEEDING
3rd device on its way: possible bleed maybe reboot issue/wifi problem....?
4th G2x:......... maybe if the third one sucks
5th G2x...... i hope not
but yes im keeping it/them even if i have to exchange it for the next two years
alot of support behind the phone and a great community!
bought it with my employee discount
no returns for us
luckily i still have 1 discount left which i'll use on the sensation or the GS2. then my discounts reset in october.
Definately keeping it. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I have not experienced any of the reported issues. My screen does have a slight bleed, but not highly noticeable . I already rooted and flashed Eagles_blood rom. Its only a matter of time until more roms and custom kernels are realeased, then we will really see what this phone is capable of.

I bought the phone yesterday knowing that I had 30 days to make my mind up on it. While I've only had the phone for a little over 48 hours, so far all is good. Yes the screen bleeds but its not as bad some peoples. Frankly I dont often watch video on my phone nor do I use dark wallpapers so the only time I ever even think of the bleeding is during boot and when I check this forum (lol). No reboots yet, OS is faster than any phone I've ever used, and contrary to my expectations HSPA+ actually does provide a noticeable boost. What I'm monitoring closest now is battery life. So far it seems to be at least on par with my Vibrant which is something I can live with. Loving stock Android also. If things keep up at this rate I wont be taking it back in 28 days.

Well gingerbread has a black notification bar, so if you have issues with the top corners like i did you might change your mind about the bleeding being ok.

I've checked screenshots with black toolbars and it wont be an issue for me. I keep the tool bar hidden anyway so the only time its even visible is if I have an app open in which case im focused on the content of the app not the notification bar. I'm sure there will be tons of themes with light notification bars anyway.
I have a black notification bar right now and the bleeding isnt noticeable.

today i returned mine, i miss it already but the battery life was unacceptable, been using it for 10 days and it got slightly better, not to forget the backlight bleeding and the various bugs here and there.
Im going to pick up SGS2 once it's available here, although i despise the touchwiz but thank god we LauncherPro
I unfortunately had to exchange my first one for a new one. My original would randomly think the wired headset was connected when it wasnt. This rendered the phone basically useless. Plus no one else in these forums talked about a similar situation. So I exchanged mine for a new one. So far its good. Fingers crossed!
I wish everyone that decides to pass on the G2X for the sgs2 or sensation the best of luck! Coming from Sammy's first real attempt at trying to run with the big dogs, the VIBRANT, I can honestly say that while its a decent device to get started with in android, it leaves much to be desired. At the time of its release the galaxy s line had the best hardware then too. But that didn't mean sqaut in real world performance. Those things laughed at us everytime we opened the app menu!
Look at all the time people like SUPERCURIO put into voodoo, just to make that thing be half the phone it could be. And dont even get me started on updates! Froyo? Froyo? Did you say Froyo? I had froyo before it was even a wet dream in TMO's eyes here. If it wasnt for some great DEV's pulling together on that thing and making it what it should have been in the first place, I, along with half the people that bought a vibrant probably woulda nailed our genitalia to the floor in a burning building.
So you guys get a super duper AMOLED screen phone that you still cant see in the sun! Talk about how AWESOME that screen is inside the house. Go ahead, take it in, love it, embrace it! Your little injection molded plastic-ey POS may sound like the next best thing, but this guy read the book and bought the t shirt! #SAMSUNGNEVERAGAIN!
Just wait, you'll see. And BTW good luck with that htc boot loader, sensation fans. I'll sit back and watch from the sidelines with my #CYANOGENMOD G2X!

Your going to love all the mods you're going to have to do to get rid of the iphone lookin, battery hogging, hope you know how to root, because it will still run in the background and control everything. So yes, they dont like to release kernel code either.
Please dont take my ramblings as the spoken word. Sammy might surprise us and throw us a bone. But remember if you get one update thats all you should expect.
And for the record, HELL YEAH! I still have a sour taste in my mouth from that fricken phone!

Does the sensation make cracking sounds when you press on the screen with little effort? It is similar to the sound the back battery cover makes when it gets pressed on other devices. Just quivering if its a defect or normal. I think its the noise of the edge of the screen rubbing with the frame of the phone.

I'm getting it next week so I'll let you know. I did my exchange through T-Mobile. I tried doing it online, but the CSR rep wasn't picking up on what I said so I just called. They handle all the stuff for me and are sending me a phone from HTC.
I got my replacement today and it was just the phone, not the back cover. Not sure if it's a refurb or a new model. I have no more creaking sounds and the screen doesn't "give" anymore either. Hope that helps.
If it makes a noise when you press "right there" then don't press right there. Never in by wildest dreams have I ever thought of returning my phone cuz it made "a noise". I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You complain about sounds created from actions that aren't part of everyday use. It's like you sit and look for defects just so you have something to complain about. It's insane. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or a rant, but it just bugs me seeing just so many useless threads like this.

If you're talking to me, it isn't the only issue I had.

I agree. i have searched and found a bunch of people that had the creaking sound when pressing on the screen. unsure why but my intention was to find out of it was common and everyone had this issue or not. i also have screen problems at times and that is when i called tmobile about it and at the end mentioned the creaking sound. the back shell is defective thats why its creaking. if i really wanted to start picking things to complain and return the device i would have done that for not having a external sd or small pointless crap like that or how the official case covers holes in the back. i also had pixalation problems on the screen. my biggest problem was just i had to press the screen a bunch of times just to get it to respond. we are paying $500+ for phones so we expect them to work!

I see your point, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is that me personally, I read up a whole lot on every phone I get before I make that jump to buy. I have "a person" that gets the newest gadgets to me alot cheaper than retail and I still read up. So, if i was gonna pay $600 for a new device, please believe I'd have studied on it long and hard first, knowing all of the pros and cons, and weighing them out. Them making the purchase and being satisfied with what I'd bought because I made a solid decision after thoroughly researching it.
BTW, sorry to hear you got a bad one. So far, the only issue I've had with mine has been the fact that sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to unlock the screen cuz the icons move instead of the ring, so I can understand your frustration.

Did it have anything about the warranty? New units have one year. Refurbs come with 90 days. So if it was a new unit, it could technically say 1 year. I dont know for sure, just guessing. How's the quality of the replacement unit? Any scratches/blemishes anywhere? Thx.

No, it didn't. Not as far as I can tell.
It's not too bad. Don't see any scratches/dust/or whatever. The speaker isn't as good as my old one and the yellow tint is a bit noticeable, but there's no screen flicker. Other then that it's a pretty good phone.

The displays on both One X's are the same. You guys are already getting both cool and warm displays. Unless the spots are Teg3 code/driver related (most of the graphics-related problems are) you'll get them too. A note, the international forum is very emotional so divide an issue at least by two when forming an opinion.

Ugh... I don't get why HTC would use 2 screens. I ended up returning my unit because Rogers refused to exchange my phone.
It is really hard to live with the warmer screen once you see the cooler one.
People who settle for the warmer display are missing out IMO... The warm screen is nice... but the cool one is "wow" nice.
Remember the iPhone 4s had yellow spots, it was from the adhesive not fully drying, they told the phone owners to wait a while and it would go away. Could be the same case.
I want to hear the opinion of those which are already using this version of HOS. Are there any problems regarding the construction (quality build) of the product? So far, the only major issue is related to the fact that is slippery but you can solve that with a nice protective cover.

To me the only issue is that the phone is so damn sexy I take it out of my pocket much more often so the chance of dropping it increases as well. And I am using the clear hard shell case which does not cover top and bottom.
I think this is a known issue of the phone design.
Seriously, there is no real issue of the phone apart from as you mentioned quite slippery without case.

The only issue I have is the radio. My signal jumps up and down constantly in areas where I never had issues. Many others are having the same issues. They're also experiencing wifi issues.
Sense 4.0 is nice and definitely an improvement over previous version but it's still a pain to change settings and stuff. I'm rocking the Apex Launcher right now and it's great.
The hardware is sleek and sexy, and it speak for itself.

Yes, apart from known software issues which exist on both black and grey one s, such as data connection and WiFi, the build quality is very good.
I have 4 cases already... One official clear hard shell, one cheap solid black tpu, one clear white tpu, and one clear s line tpu which the seller wrongly sent to me. So still waiting for my fifth case which is a plain clear tpu I actually ordered from the last seller. He did not want the s line back cos the postage costs half of the case price.
I personally don't mind case, but i do agree that hiding the beauty of the phone is a crime! so, I tried different clear case. Hope the coming plain clear tpu ordered from eBay UK is the best answer.

The one I ordered and am waiting for may suits your need. It is supposed to be plain, clear, tpu, so very simple without any decoration but transparent.
Will post pictures in the "case" thread in accessory forum when it arrives hopefully tonight.

Nice, I'll definitely check it out. There's one at the TMobile store but it's a little pricey. If i can get it for cheaper on Amazon I'll do it but if not i might cave and get it from the TMobile store. Speaking of which time to hit Amazon again.

Did you use previously the Sensation? Cause I used it(I still do till the S will arrive to me) and I have those death grip issues. Wifi jumps up and down constantly and also the GSM coverage is awful.

No my previous phone was the TMobile HTC G2, which is still awesome with great devs behind it. No death grip issue has been reported and I haven't experienced anything like that, and hopefully never will lol.
I swapped SIM and then a new phone and the signal issue is still there though I do have to say it feels a little better overall.

Received the replacement case on Saturday. However, it is not absolutely clear... It is white clear, yea the base colour is white but gives some transparency.
Not very pleased but did not bother going back to seller cos only paid 99 pence and for two cases with a sock.
Seems like the hunting of a clear transparent case is still ongoing.
By the way, I went to the Chinese eBay alike website to see what offered there. No different from what we have in UK eBay and amazon. Given the fact that most of the case is manufactured in China, I have to wait for either they pick up or a local English brand to come up with something nice.

I've looked around and haven't seen anything regarding this. The blue color is very meh to me and I would like to know if I should hold off and wait for the white/black ones.
Does anybody know when they're coming to T-Mobile?
never probably

Do you mean black/red?

It is white/ black because it chips so much I guess

The black/white design is only for the One X so I don't think it will come for the One S.
The white or black( more of a charcoal grey to me) color scheme is for the one X. If you are referring to the black one s with the red ring, well that is a different story. Here is an older post about the topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607010
But to be honest, I don't know if they will even get the black one s with all the problems are people are having with the finish. Some htc people say that they are fixing the process, other htc people are saying that is nothing wrong with the process. As a business, why would want to screw around with that?

I have the black and it is still perfect after a few weeks, even after it falling hard enough to chip the glass (not my fault!).
So I think the problem is, for the most part, and as some others have said, people who are not having a problem with the MAO don't bother to report as such. For all we know the vast majority of the black phones are fine. Need to compare total number currently in use with the number of individuals with the issue (and not the number of complaints, nor the number of posts in the MAO fail threads)

That could be the point. Since the bad news seems to be more prominent then the good news, that may cause them (carriers or people) to stay away. I don't know though. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Personally, I am going to wait to mid-June and if there is not even a hint of a U.S. MAO, I am going to just get the grey one. I don't think I could wait any longer.
