It has been annoying as hell since the moment I saw it. I tried using a rasp on some corners, but no or barely seen success. Any suggestions?
If mine had a problem I never noticed it, it is now in a case where it can never bother me. That said even if it wasn't in a case I don't think I would ever notice that, I don't stare at the side of my phone.

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.

That's what I am scared about. Honestly I get maybe two reboots every week and a half.
Hang onto it for a little while. Might be fine.

I was thinking about putting a little bit of crazy glue to hold down the speaker
VERY little. I assume you're just talking about the little plastic grate over it, in which case a little dab'll do ya just fine. Careful with that.
Keep in mind I don't own a TBolt yet, but I've been around the block with gadgets and gizmos.

I don't understand what you guys do to do that? Had mine since day one and no chip or anything in that matter. No case maybe? Just wanna understand so I can avoid it . Im very picking when it comes to cosmetic .

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
My screen looks amazing, all the colors look well saturated, etc no ghosting that i know of. but there is one issue.. whenever i press on the right bottom corner the digitizer actually presses on the LCD and makes that weird magnitized look when you would press on a new TV LCD or laptop LCD.. if you have a laptop or new tv you should know what i mean lol. This exact thing happened on my old HD7 with the same size screen. i seem to have problems with phones with 4.3" screens lol. ive had every mytouch phone from htc and the g1 and none have had this problem. even my atrix didnt have this problem and its a piece of poo.
Does anyone else have this issue? i mean its not a HUGE issue since you never really press down the right bottom corner but still. it bugs the crap out of me knowing its there. i would hate to send it back and wait weeks without a phone too =/ i bought it from ebay for $270 used with scratches lol so i wonder if they dropped it or something.
another weird thing is when i take it out of the battery case the problem is even worse because the phone case is kinda loose so the screen pushes into the case? i might buy a case mate case and see if it stops the problem..
also, where the problem is.. the screen colors are still perfect. its just when i press in that area. id be fine with it if the problem didnt get worse. it did on my HD7 though
Just the way its made unfortunately. Case isn't gonna make a difference. What worked for me (not completely. gone but significantly reduced) was put a little piece Of paper in the case is that corner and ever since I haven't seen it. You have to press pretty hard to see it. Hope that helps.

thanks for reply. glad to see im not the only one with the problem though! i will have to try it, just a small piece on the right side or what? well i thought the case would work because it has part that cover the front. i know it wouldnt make the problem go away but it would make me or other people no able to press there.

No problems for me. Try contacting the guy you bought it from, the ebay seller.

How far does your sim tray stick out when pushed in? It seems like it's sticking out way too far for me... not flush at all, like at least a millimeter.
Anyone know any tricks to get it to go in farther without damaging it?
Just to have fun that's what she said lol.
But in all honestly mine kind of sticks out to

Mine doesnt have this, its extremely flushed against the body for me. Perhaps you have a defective unit.
Mine is slightly less than 1mm.

Mine sticks out a tiny bit also, maybe a half a mm. Didn't even notice until the oP brought it up, damn him!!!
Same as everyone else. Mine sticks out maybe half a millimeter...maybe less. Just enough that I notice if I run my finger across it.
Well guys looks like a common thing maybe we are all like that

There's probably a way to just use like a nail file or sandpaper to file something down just so it fits more properly, but don't know if I want to risk it.

The case is fine, if you are into that kinda thing.
I come from a Galaxy Note so like a flip cover and after a couple of days the cover is fine staying closed.
Not had any flash bleed from my pink phone that others have experienced.
I am actually gonna swith to a bumper case for my main use though as I use a magnetic doc and it doesn't work with that
(having said that.. it is easy enough to get in and out of the case to not irk me)
Doesn't feel like it will slip out of the case at all
Photos attached (hopefully.. my first photo upload!)
Thanks for uploading these photos, I have one on order

I had this case. Untill i had issues with the screen. Issues like lockscreen freezing and notification bar tripping and locking as well. Obviously I can't really prove it's because of the case, but when I removed the case, those issues no longer occured. Just a warning. I think it's because of the creditcard-area, thats a little thick.
If someone could confirm this? I hope not ofcourse. But it's really hard to say it was not because of the case, because the only time I had those issues was when the case was on.

Yes.
Same Issues.
Don't have any of these issues. Also have the carbon patterned one. I have mixed feeling about the case. Really dislike it's incompatible with either the DK31/32 dock from Sony (it claims to be an official Sony approved case), and secondly the cover flap has to much freedom of moving when closed, makes it look quite cheap. Still on the lookout for a flipcover case that will fit in the dock.
I have this case - it's the worst case I've had for any phone..... Have issues with my music skipping when the phone is in my pocket, pretty sure it's the case.
It's incredible that Roxfit are actually the OFFICIAL accessory provider for Sony Xperia phones....
My Case_Mate Barely-There case is on order and due to arrive end of the month. I've had the Case_Mate Barely-There for every phone I've owned, and it has never let me down.....

ohmigod...
this has happened to me too!
I thought this was related to the other screen issue some have had and it would never have occurred to the that the case would cause this,
(also.. it didn't happen until recently... hmm.. i did recently use the card holder in the flap.. but not sure if that was the start point of the touchscreen issues)
i have now switched over to the Krusell Frostcover (just yesterday),.. so i am intrigued if the issues occur now (normally the issues happen a couple of times a day).. will respond back tomorrow
btw.. loving the frostcover!
damn.. this is a shame.. I like the Roxfit case up til this point (i really do like book covers for mobiles, just becuase i am so nevous about the screen).. but do agree with many of the complaints listed by others in this thread (i just don;t find them that bad)

My mate at work says said the same about the one he got for his Z1, his main issue was having to flip it open every time, which is why I could never own this style of case and he's stopped using his now.
I am looking for some sort of clear case that wont go yellow over time like majority of the cases do. Do any of you can recommend something or give an advice?

Lol
Yellowing is inherent in a flexible clear case, it's the nature of the material used.
I have a Spigen and held in particular ways the raised sides looked yellowish straight out of the box.

Was also looking for a quality clear case. Found this one and am impressed by it's, let's say "stiffness". And, in a month or so, it didn't went yellow. It's strong and reliable, has TPU edges and I just like it. Only minus is that being glossy, it might get ... some minor scratches.
