I'm noticing that after having the M8 since release date that the screen is starting to separate from the body in the lower right corner. you can't notice it but of you push on that area slightly firmer than you normally would you can feel it bend and flex as though its no longer connected to the body. I've had it in a case and have dropped it maybe twice from a small distance to carpet. something you should keep an eye out for.

HTC want me to secure $299 with a credit card so they can have the option to tell me it was my fault, really... I asked if they would give the option to get my phone back and they said no. My reply was, why would I buy this phone again knowing it has this issue.
That sucks.., what happened to the customer is always right? Just kidding they will probably say you took the phone apart to try mess with its guts.

A few weeks ago i got a new back cover of the HTC 7 pro while mine was the paint going off. and i just leave the first one as it is, and used the new one for some weeks now and i must say its the same faulty hardware, the metal is good, but the paint is going so easy off. and i handle my unit with care, really care! now i have scrubed all the silver paint from the first one and it shines now like a new one. and the letters where fallen out to before i modified it. so if somebody has the same phone and problems, this is what you could make it to and for the future, HTC don't paint the back cover any more, please. with just a little sweat on it it goes easily off!
i uploaded some pictures, of one piece like it is before, one after. and then the two side by side...
The 'h' on mine has fallen off

thats the truth behinf the manufacturing of HTC. but they have an really really good customer service. i ordered twice the back cover and get it (twice) and a battery, but that was an mistake of HTC.
Hey folks;
Today I noticed for the first time that my phone had a small rectangular yellowish patch on the lower third of the right hand side of the display. I googled the issue and found some similar problems. It's not screen tint, it's a discolored patch; otherwise the screen is great. I've owned the phone for less than a year. What should I do? There is a little damage on the upper right corner from dropping it once soon after I bought it, will that void my warranty? Any input would be appreciated.

Woud it be possible to supply some pictures?
Edit: I believe that only water damage will void the warranty.

Here's a picture, you can see the spot but the colour doesn't show very well...

Wow... That's really strange.
It looks like it's been warped by high heat. Do you ever leave the phone in your car or in the sun?
Could be a device defect. So strange that It would happen now unless it's something you did. Was it onset, or did it yellow gradually?
Personally, I would just take it in.. But, depending on how this actually happened, they might claim that it was intentional. (they always do anyways)
As you see in the picture the red color is coming off with no reason. Any idea what I can do to prevent or repair it?

Honestly, I've got this issue going on with my phone too. If you have a screen protector on, I'd say don't worry about it! Just look for a new back cover (which the speaker area is part of) on eBay for like $15-20 when you're ready to sell it, then take off the screen protector, replace the back cover, and then you'll have a Sensation XE ready to sell in virtually brand-new condition.
(PS: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-Rear-B...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3cc80805ad <- Just for reference, you're talking about $20 or so...so feel free to just use it as it is now!)
Or just paint it red again. Just take off the back battery cover and the red speaker cover/protector just pops out with a little push. With red spay paint, just give it 1 quick spray n it'll be like new. I did it with my desire s today, sanded it down n im gona spray it white n paint the speaker cover n buttons red

OK this is the 3rd SP3 I've received that has this issue, it's utterly baffling to me. I keep swapping them out and keep getting this issue. I have this one square in the upper left corner that does not detect touch at all, but it does detect the pen. It's sporadic, I can reboot and it's gone, or let the sp3 go to sleep and sometimes it's gone, but it always eventually returns.
This latest SP3 I got is only 2 days out of the box, I've probably only used it a total of 5 or 6 hours and it's already doing this. Having 3 of these fail like this you would think it's something that I am doing, but all my SP3 does is either sit on my nightstand next to my bed plugged in or it's in my laptop bag, that's it. It doesn't go near magnets, electricity, or anything weird I can think about.
Anyhow here is a picture of the affected area. Does anyone know what is behind this area? Maybe it's hardware that is bad or something? I have to exchange this now for a 4th replacement, sigh.
According to the ifixit breakdown, it looks like the msata ssd is located behind that part of the screen
Can the heat from the ssd really cause an issue?how hot is it getting before you start having issues?

Hello, I have an unusual problem Well, I once wrote here on the forum whether other users of this phone Asus Rog Phone 5 Do they have a hard time with the volume buttons because in my copy they were stuck when pressed? Today I was cleaning the phone and I noticed a crack on the back cover from the button side Oddly enough, the buttons have been working perfectly for some time, they click I do not know when it could have been damaged because the device has never fallen down I suspect that the damage could have happened spontaneously due to the badly glued housing, the stresses that arose as a result could have contributed to the malfunction of the volume buttons Can you advertise it or has anyone heard of a similar case?

Could it burst by itself?
The only thing that would generally cause the phone to crack on it's own like that is a swollen battery. Hopefully that is not the case with your device.
Nothing is swollen, everything works, even the buttons click and normally recede The warranty is unlikely to cover it, unless they believe it, it makes sense to advertise?
not sure but I had the rog phone 2 and it cracked near the hole on the back and I never dropped it I now have the rog phone 5 and it cracked kind of like that one mine is in a case I'm wondering if it has something to do with heat
