Greetings!
i ve bought Sensation XE a week ago, and i ve noticed that touch screen (digitizer) is very thin and flexible. When i press it just a little harder it leaves those crystal color marks on screen, and makes some "touching" noise.
Before i go to shop i ve bought it, i wanted to ask if this is normal?
Tell the shop owner to replace or atleast repair the touch,
As this is not at all normal
Hit thanks button if you find me helpful

Yesterday I checked out my friends brand new iphone 4 and he has dust under the screen, another friend has dust under the screen on his htc inspire 4g, another has dust under the screen of her iphone 3gs, another has dust under the screen of his droid x.
I never really looked closely for dust under the screen of ANY of the previous phones I have purchased, but I started becoming paranoid about it on the sensation because of the thread I saw here on XDA.
It seems like it's a fairly common thing and something we are just stressing over too much. I don't know.
I agree, I can find dust on a lot of phones .. unless seen during normal usage I don't care...
To be honest, it really isn't. It is a manufacturing issue that should be addressed by HTC. My iPod Touch 4TH gen has been in and out of my pant pockets for the past 7 months now and I still don't see a single speck of dust under the glass. My sensation wasn't so lucky. I put this phone in those same pockets and within 5 days I saw a few specks of dust.
This seriously cannot be normal.
Normal? This problem have plagued htc phones since winmo days. I'm not saying phones don't get dusty but htc consistently have this problem.
OP absolutely not a normal thing.

I've owned htc touch pro 1 &2 g1 nexus one mytouch 3g slide and 4g + now a sensation not a single one has had dust under the screen. It's Definitely not normal

Since when another phone having dust under the screen makes it acceptable!? Its like when Apple said that all phones experience the death grip issue and it is perfectly fine for the iPhone4 to lose signal!
Ive owned 10 + HTC's and its not normal at all.
You could after the warranty just open it up as its an easy fix for most phones. Or one could not put it in their pocket as its the most likely place it comes from. How cool would you be with strutting your stuff with a sensational belt clip ?
I have no dust underneath the screen of my phone and I have had it about a week.
After 18 months my HD2 still has no dust under the screen, however I noticed a few spec of dust under the screen on my Sensation as I took it out of the box.
There is also a very small (0.2 mm or so) gap at the bottom end of the phone between the case and the screen where I can see down the side of the screen.
Luckily a quick call to Vodafone Costomer Services and they're sending a new handset out by courier to replace this one
I don't think it's normal... It was normal 10 years ago when our standards were A LOT lower, but now it shouldn't happen.
I don't expect dust in my computer screen, or my camera screen, so why have it here
Not normal at all for me either. My N1 and Touch didn't have dust. This POS replacement I got today does.
OhMyGod!!
Now I have a lot of dust under the screen and I think it ot in through the space betwwen the display and the frame. It is now very visible how large this space is. They should have blockd this space with something. I really do not appreciate this from HTC.
It is design flow, SIMPLE!!!!
I just don't understand how they keep on having the same flaw.
It´s not normal at all! I remember last having this issue with old Nokia phones (6230i etc.) Since iPhone 3G times (see my signature) I never noticed this issue on a single phone! But my Sensation Now it´s on warranty repair and as it returns I sell it immediately.
Just got a new sensation back after having the dust problem and the replacement has a nice black dot under the LCD screen that can be seen under dark colours....
Really not happy at all....
So more time without a phone...

Hi I just to ask if its normal for the sensation to have a gap or shall I say movement between the back cover and the screen every time you press them together specially on the lower right corner of the screen. Mine has this movement and everytime I touch the search button on the lower right of the screen I can hear a bit of squeeking. Is it normal?

Mine does have a bit of squeeking from the case but its quite hard to notice. Nothing when I touch the search button tho.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
When I got mine, it only has creaking in the bottom right corner. Now it's all over the right side
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
No it's not normal. The fit should be tight.

This is my second sensation the first one has the same issue with the back cover. I wonder how can we avoid this.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Mine moves (barely) along the entire right side as well with no noise. I think this is just due to the lack of hard support between the phone and the back cover. it would be nice if someone found a fix for this somehow.
mine on the home button.. just 4days old with me.. maybe some paper will do if we stuck it in between?
hi guys,
have anybody yet found a white digitizer for the normal sensation? that would be nice. the digitizer for the xl is white but it didnt fit as we know . but for the normal sensation i only found the black digitizers.
I wish

i have only seen white back covers...but im pretty sure the white digitizer will be out soon.
that would be sick
Sent from my TripNiCE Pyramid using xda premium
I have the white battery cover.The white digitizer would make my sensation complete.
I have a white XE battery housing for my S4G, and frankly I love the appearance of black on front and white on back. Then again, I get bored quickly and options are a good thing.
Hi guys, this thread is for all users that have dust underneath screen problem with Sensations.
We all know that our Sensation's screen is made by Sharp or AUO. In addition, it is obvious that dust problem is real.
I just bought the phone and I really want to find out is there a connection between panel type and dust problem (so we can avoid it if possible).
Since the threads above contain a lot of uncategorised data, I decided to open new thread with a poll to get more info.
My guess that problem occurs when glue breaks and sucks in (because of vacuum) the dust captured by battery cover...
To find out which panel you have:
Use terminal emulator (free from the market) and run the command dmesg (root is not needed). It will output a lot of data.
Look for this line and report it (the numbers might not be the same): [9178.895111] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_??????
(if you can't find it, you can long press on the output in terminal emulator copy all and then paste it into an email and send it to yourself. Then do a search with "panel" as keyword).
To find out is there some dust under your screen, look closer while on max brightness or under direct light (sun, preferraby).
Thanks.
Voted. Sorry, poll does not appear from xda app. Voted from browser.

Then vote in poll...
Thanks for making this poll!

I wish you would have include no dust aou, and no dust sharp options. I have a sharp and no dust, but I can't vote.
I can't edit poll, only mods can...
Although it is a good idea, i don't know if relevant data would be collected over time if 2 answers would be added (no dust - panel), eg. now you don't have any dust (and voted no), and if after 2 months you "develop" dust you could come back here and vote yes...see the issue?
Yes I see, but my phone is 5 months old, but I guess it could still happen. I just wish we knew the total number of sensation owners on xda vs. How many have dust issues.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Well, although it is too early too tell, but judging by results so far, it may be that digitizer implementation is culprit here... :/
It would be nice to know who assembles it, panel manufacturers or HTC... ?
I'm not sure how to vote on this. Truth is I have had dust on both types of screens. 4th replacement due to dust is on its way. All 4 exchanges were due to dust entering the screen.
I have an AUO screen, and here is the picture of the dust under the screen.
i have a picture of my screen with dust available { ***.imagebam. com / image /f4941c173425172 }
All those having dusts, is it located at the same position on yours ?
I've just noticed some dust...AUO screen...
But I don't mind really since I see it only on strong outside light and only if I look really close...
I'll wait some time to see how it develops and get replacement then...
i have dust, and i have AOU screen
Going on 8 months, still no dust under my sharp panel.

I had a sharp originally that I got on launch day it had dust. Got a brand new sealed in the box AUO panel, it also got dust. It isn't the panel, its the gap around the screen between the screen and bezel. Only way to ensure you never get dust is the silcon deal.

I just got my Sensation 4G back from HTC yesterday. I sent it in because of a pretty bad case of dust under the screen, a broken exterior physicical Volume rocker, and the fact that every call I made or received people would say they could not hear me. I had the AOU screen.
Is it possible to remove the dust thats already there? I have 2 large dustspecs on each side on the middle of the screen. Can i crack up, clean screen and reseal it?
Bothers the **** out of me. Would do the silicone if i didnt buy my phone used

AUO screen and a lot of dust under it!
Small amount of dust, Sharp screen. It oddly doesn't seem to be getting worse though, which is why I am in no rush to send it to HTC.

AUO screen
I purchased my HTC Sen 4G from TMO less than a month ago and now have dust under my screen. I ran the terminal emulator and found my display was manufactured by AUO (FYI this information is near the top of the printout NOT the bottom or middle took me a while to find it, hope this helps someone else). This is very disappointing. I love my Sen and hate that there is a design flaw. I am concerned that it is only going to get worse with time. I will keep this phone for at least the next two years so I want it in tip top shape at the beginning so I can keep it that way. I still have my MT3G and it is in mint condition.
Freaking fantastic. I just got dust underneath my screen from both sides. Sharp screen.
I jumped for a icicle and my phone dropped and cracked the screen... My screen protector is holding small pieces from falling out atm
So any suggestions of how a kid can replace the screen without breaking my phone more, I love my sensation and the forum here and I don't want to dish out 300$ for a used s3....that's not even int
And I saw lcd replacements on ebay it was like sensation g14
