When removing the battery cover, I somehow damaged it. Will that prevent me from returning this phone?
Took me nearly 2 hours to get the battery cover off, required so much strength that I broke off a tiny piece where your thumbnail is supposed to go.
I doubt it man, when I returned my Atrix to get the Inspire the ATT rep barely even looked at the phone, he just wanted to make sure all the parts where there.
Im assuming you mean return it within 30 days correct?

Yeah, I've had the phone for about 2 days and it's already pissing me off. I just hope HTC's idiocy hasn't screwed me over with this battery door.
Those pieces are a dime a dozen. The 2 little tabs on the bottom are like hinges. Put them in place,and snap it shut.very easy.
If you hate htc so much why did you buy it in the firstplace? Also I think it is your idiocy, not htc

i had a hell of a time trying to open it with the little cut back nubbin. i put my fingernails right behind the volume rocker and find it to be much easier.
if you tell them that you're taking it back BECAUSE of how hard the battery cover was to get off i don't think you'll have any trouble.
Just posting in case anyone else was wondering, they took it back without question. I hope noone else has the problems that my inspire had, I think it could be a great phone just mine was having a lot of problems.
Is anyone having a problem with the screen, well the phone, clicking when you touch the corners? Over the past few days it seems like the actual phone and back cover are not connected tightly resulting in a click sound and feel when typing on the keyboard. I have tried to re-seat the back cover with no luck. I am going to try and get an exchange today but the whole design around a uni body phone worries me long term.
I've posted the same thing and you're not alone. What you can do is put a paper inside the case and it'd resolve your problem for now

There appears to be some build quality issues with some devices out there last night I discovered that vibrate doesn't work on my phone.
check out my 1st and 2nd post in this thread just called T-Mobile and they're overnighting my phone, I love this phone but this is the first phone I had to exchange twice
Mcp,
Unfortunately I have to go threw hell to get mine replaced since my wife is an employee.
Bad vibrations... lol
I noticed on mine the vibration is very mild compared to say the MyTouch 4G.

I have it to, actually dont know if I should take it so seriously.
Yhe it clicks a little but nothing serious.
Yup, my one day old sensation also clicks and make that noise when I press on the bottom right of the screen, just like yours. Also, the capacitive buttons are unevenly lit. This is my second unit, and I am very disappointed. I returned the first one because of a wacky battery. Build quality on that one was perfect. I might return this unit also.
Any other folks with the same issue?

I already talked to them and they were ready to overnight the replacement phone but they said they couldn't because I'm in my buyers remorse period
the bottom right corner seemed loose for me too, but i din't care that much and now, after using it for about 2 weeks it fits tight. don't know what happened.
anyone with loose buttom right corner and now its tight ???
what did you do ??
mine is loose too !!!
thats my second unit too... the first one made crackling noises when typing messages. this one is better ... but with loose corner !!!
mine is more like a loose right side. you can physically feel the screen go in to the back cover

Yes, my first unit was flawless, I would have kept it if not for the wacky battery. This one annoys me every time I press on the right lower portion. I'm weighing my options, I only have 3 days left to exchange/return it to walmart

Got the same problem.
Tomorrow i am gonna switch back covers and see if it is the issue.
I think when you take the back cover of to many times the right side will show this problem.
Greetz.
Happens to my phone as well only if I press the right point. That sounds come from the battery. Pull the backcover and press on the battery then you'll hear some clicks. But I couldn't figure out how to solve that. Even putting paper didn't help.
Ive been having problems with my back button for a while now and with some experiences on my previous phones,i tried dismantling it with the help of Youtube.i never had problems doing this kind of stuff before but this time i messed up badly! It doest turn on anymore,i accidently cut the strip on the on/off button that connects to wherever its getting power.now i just have a big good looking paper weight.
My back button just stock in the down position yesterday. I have a replacement on its way from Tmobile. Hoping I don't get a bad screen.
Bummer you broke your phone.

I know,i called tmo for my replacement but reported it loss coz i already broke it.lucky i have insurance but im getting charged $130 for a new one.
sux that you broke it and have to get a new one... but upside since you reported it lost you have a second/backup battery and battery cover (incase you decide to try some cover mod/design and a spare screen and digitizer.

Actually when i talked to the insurance company i was told that i had the option to get the mt4g slide or the sensation,for the same amount of $130 i just opted to get the Sensation instead of just having the same device or the slide version.now i do have to sell my mt4g for parts lol.

Since you live in LA, you shouldn't have a problem getting rid of it on craigslist. Sell it for at least $130 and consider it a free upgrade One time, I bought a bricked HD2 for $150, spent a half hour diagnosing the problem and fixing it, then flipped for $275. Easy money
So if I report my (not broken) mt4g stolen, I can get a sensation for $150!? Hmm....doesn't matter since im looking at the g-nexus.

I just did this EXACT same thing over the weekend.
My MT4G had dust caked into the front camera. I figured "No biggie. It' probably missing a seal. I'll crack it open, clean out the dust, and tack a tiny o ring in there to keep the dust out."
I followed the YouTube guide. I was SUPER careful because I saw how delicate everything was.
Putting a o ring on the camera was ridiculously easy. But when putting the phone back together I noticed that there was a wire dangling loose next to the power button. I was like "Ooooooohhhhhhh fudge." Only I didn't say fudge.
On the plus side, once the phone was back together it'll keep dust out of that camera until doomsday! That part worked. It just won't turn on....
Anyway I took the phone back to the store where I just bought it in August and said "This doesn't turn on."
The guy at T Mobile store looked at it, fiddled with it a bit, gave up and processed me for an even exchange at no cost. The new one is on it's way and should be delivered to my house tomorrow. They didn't even charge me for shipping. Couldn't have been easier. The customer service was absolutely top notch.
And I don't even have the insurance.
The guy at the store didn't even care that the little VOID stick was gone from the one screw under the batter cover. He even looked for it specifically.
Lol wow

Ok guys,reading all abouth your posts and all and after around a month of deciding which phone to buy for ideal size not like one x or s3
which are pricy like some good PC or smtg like that this phone just showed very nice with battery and all,
made me go away from sony xs (big-thinker than 1s),sony xp smaller battery and dont wanna get s2 cos its kinda old and all.
1s best allrounder,battery which is very important for me,I wanted to ask u a for me very interesting question..
As I used HD2 when it came around for a year and had to like,wear a charger almost with me cos using it very often,
sometimes to chat for like hours which was draining battery very fast...
But Im curious is this phone better or what ?Cos I send like hmm 100,200sms per day around...So that kinda uses screen allot.
And dont wanna buy phone to use it brighness like hard to see letters at all,why would I harm my eyes :S?I cant buy that :/...So what u think if every 30mins or smtg my screen will go up for 30secs or smtg than after again in 15 or smtg and continuos work" on it will it drain fast?
or I can count to survive a day or smtg?atm using some crapy phone with small screen samsung [email protected] 322,which can last for like days,2,3,4 depends but I fforget to see how many days it can survive so it has to be much.
And hd2 when I had it it was like on 8am full charge,at 16h or earlier or smtg again :/ if I go more on it(true I didnt update rom or do smtg abt battery like from this forums I saw,tought itll go well like that etc etc) so what u think?
will it survive a day with smsing that much?dont wanna buy nokia e6 with idiotic simbian to last it a week without charge..
for some wifi gps some gays maybe sometimes and stuff like that?but that way using all that to get hard stand for 1 day would be good?what u say?and how long can it survive for just texting ,just only just texting with like 50% default brightness or smtg like that ?
And also,had HD2,which I shattered screen twice...realy shame,had it for a year and was all good than droped from a less than 1m high seems right to screen and it was shattered a bit,but when got it repaired
,screen wasnt fiting best in...So I droped it once again :/ and ...screen was shattered like in drop test videos...that was like 300e repair,u do know how much that **** is..... ...could buy another phone ....
and now decided for one s,but affraid its not durable EVEN with case?
Im interested,that some ppl that got it WITH case what can u say when u droped ?and what if I drop it directly on screen?I can say goodbye?
Or just to move to e6 nokia and use stupid dead os symbian and be happy with battery of it....
and durability(cos smaller screen,less chance to shatter) so?cant wait to see your responses
thank you sincerely
The battery is amazing ill post a screen shot of right bleow. Left the phone display on for the better half of today. As far as durability goes I never dropped mine. My gf on the other hand was walking down the steps (concrete) in front of her house, turned back to get something from the house as I was locking the door. Her foot hooked the top step and she hit the floor. She had her phone in her hand and had to release it to break her fall with her hand as the other one was carrying her lunch. All I remember was that it landed face down and it was without a doubt the ugliest slap I ever heard. I remember their wasn't even a bounce. Just a slap and a skid. She and I both have zaggs and d30 cases. I thought it was a goner.... *sigh* but to much surprise after it coming down face first with some speed behind it it was perfectly fine. Not sure if it was the gorilla glass, case, screen protector or all 3 but its still alive and kicking without a scratch on it. You won't be dissapointed!

Sorry forgot to post tasks. But this was daily use. Texted, a few pic messages, playing little empire, web browsing, using flipboard and xda. The screen is pretty dim as I use my phone indoors most of the time anyway. Using trickdroid tmous 3.0 with tweaks.

I unlocked bootloader and rooted the day I got it. Used trickdroids and ledroids Roms so far. My gf is using blackdragon 5.0. All three are very excellent as far as stability and DD use. Trickdroid seems to be giving me the best battery life regardless of the placebo affect
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
I'm positive it will last that long or longer as I had my screen on all day. If I turned it off it would go much further. You may get similar results with leaving it on 50% and letting it sleep periodically. I posted a screen in torxx's EU trickdroid rom with a day and 6 hrs use. That was a normal work day. 13 hr shift and 3 one hr breaks in-between those 13 hrs. Zaggs are called 'invisishield" and they ate somewhat self healing. The d30 cases and the shields I got when I got the phones from T-Mobile. Check their website or the MP. You'll find them!
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
no way this thing will go beyond 5 hours of screen time with normal use, custom rom or not.
And that's not a typo, I used trickdroids EU rom on a tmous phone before he had the tmous thread. I posted pics of that as well. Very solid phone and very solid devs behind it!!! Only thing we need now is the source code. I'm positive it will shine along side the s3 when that drops.

Im not here to bullsh*t people. I'm not a dev or HTC spokesman. People ask whats going on with someone who uses the phone and what they are doing with it. I just post my experience and results. Take away from it what you want. So many people talk about the batt life. I wonder why....

Thanks allot mate,thanks for your answer and info,can u tell me where are u from ?Cos Im from Serbia and erm how could I buy case and screen protector from tmobile :S cos cant even google it :/ in here :S probably dont exist here..and case looks wonderfull saw some tests,now heard u and very interested in it,cos I can pay even like 100euro's more just to make phone more durable..but that doesnt mean to have it looking like **** like I saw some cases which make from phone old days gps devices like 20mm,25.. thick and stuff.....
So how could I get it anyway?Cos without getting it :/ no way getting phone,as what I saw how screens are easily broken....Im not that alone anymore...with my breaking...Seems ppl realy struggle with it :/...Damn cant wait to post on htc forum or other manufacturer for their workers to answer me,did they ever happened to have phone droped and what happened...In factory and stuff and HOW THE **** they let those phone leave factories and be like hey very durable phone...come on those older phones can survive ****load of heavy dmging....even directly to the screen ......
So how could I get it :S?
And mate :S there is htc one s case in USA right :S?And in EU :S?
Yeah their are slight differences in phone bodies between EU and us. I live in us. Try amazon, eBay, or their official websites for the case and screen protector. Or try the marketplace on xda. Someone should have either one and happily ship to you. You will probably have to front the money first since you don't have very much rep on here.

Thanks allot,Ive got uncle in Italy,mailed him to see if he can buy me 1 at he's place or anywhere there,cool and thanks allot for info(btw rooting and changing roms kinda aint anything special hard?And how stable they are hmm?)
Just follow step by step instructions. If you don't know what you're doing or run into a term you don't understand, Google it. YouTube will walk you through it. That's what helped me get out of bootlooping on my g1! If you try all that,and it doesn't work, then try again. If that fails and you think you tried everything give a quick comment of what's going on and what you did with the rom you're using. Do not spam dev threads with stuff that has been beaten to death and explained time and time again. Read their first page over and over and over again. Then try it. If that doesn't work wipe away and start all over again. Hope you like your phone mate!!!

Dude you have crazy good battery life. I only get 2-3 hour screen usage amper charge
Does your carrier use a DC-HSPA+(UMTS, with dual carrier HSPA+) in the cell network, because a "4G" is shown in the screen capture. However MSM8260A doesn't support LTE, the only choice for 4G left is DC-HSPA+.
Btw, did you spend the 8 hours watching video?

Its tmous U.S. The "H" network or 3.5 "4g" or whatever they want to call it. I did leave it on and sit just to test out the batt and current set up I'm using. I used the phone when I needed to. No vids just textes (between 30-50 normal use), pic messages, web browsing, flipboard, gaming buzz widget, and I hotspotted for like 15 mins to download some apps to my hd2 from the marketplace. No calls either, but then again who uses their for phone for phone calls

Any way ill give what's wrong with it but my misses ended up getting me the THL 100s as I been talking about getting it so looking to see if I can get some cash back on the desire even if it ain't much,
I was lazy putting it back together and lost about 5 screws, one at the battery door which stops it from closing fully still does, the glass intfront of the camera is cracked though unnoticeable from pictures, 2 things that don't work but ill open it and have em working is the volume key and in call speaker, and on the new digitizer screen the very top don't seem to work ie I can't pull down the menu not sure if this is fixable,
So ya just looking for an idea how much if even I could sell it for,
Device plus and usb headphones, new 2450 mAh Battery and also the tool set for it.
Thanks guys
