After 3 weeks SD slot rubber cover looks like this. Any idea why ? And what to do ?
just remove it if you take the battery out you can just pull the cover out i did mine the first day it does not halm the phone at all
All 4 pieces of Vox in Hungary I saw had the same f***ing SD cover rubber. I also took it out... the hole is better than that loose rubber piece. I think 3rd party supplier made this peanut part ... I do not understand how HTC could accept this and release the phones like this worldwide.
mine has started to look like that too. I got annoyed and took the usb cover off but i want to leave this one on. I hope it doesnt get any worse.
mine also looks like that...I have already removed the USB cover because the rubber was expanded in such a way that it was always popping off the hole...now it's the microSD cover that is way expanded, just like yours...it's really an annoying issue :S
So let's cooperate and write reclamation to HCT ? Any one has good english to write one ? I think it should be plastic cover, like on Nokia 6233 for micro SD or something similar. But not that rubber. USB cover i removed in first week, it was popping out. But without SD cover phone looks not realy pretty.
fix
a dot of supaglue does the trick. you can still get it off without damage if you need to
Yeah, i have the same problem also. The problem is the rubber expands, I first tried trimming the USB cover which helped a little but I eventually removed it. I don't want to remove the storage card cover as it would leave it too exposed.
This is quite sad really as it makes a very cool phone look cheap...
SHAME ON YOU HTC!!! SHAME ON YOU!
I noticed this also while working on a friends vox. I wonder if you got a few hundred people together and signed a petition maybe HTC could send everyone a new plastic cover.ROFL. But being a pessimist I think its gonna take something short of holding Peter Chou as a hostage before this happens. If it were my phone the last thing I would want to do is pull it off, im glad the herald memory card cover is quite solid. But who knows if someone can sue google for something stupid as this:

Maybe someone can sue HTC for emotional damages that were caused by being laughed at by friends and family after showing them a phone that costs 1-2 weeks salary that doesn't even look good as a brick . I think I got the perfect lawyer for whoever steps up.
None other than Jackie Chiles himself...hopefully you'll have better luck than Cosmo Kramer
I have the same problem
The rubber from the USB I have removed.
The SD cover looks ugly.
too bad, I like having the USB cover, it prevents dirt from coming into the phone. I wish HTC would come out with a plastic one too....
They probably wont, because this phone is not sold by any major carriers, at least here in the US.
I've trimmed mine down to fit better with a sharp blade, then used superglue to secure it in place, I can still remove it and re-glue if required, it's a damm site less annoying now !
Same here - wish I had know about this issue before buying the phone
I'm hoping of selling it soon.
Same problem here and it has been a long time I removed the USB rubber cover wich was really very very boring, annoying and awfull !
Now, with the SD rubber cover, I almost have the same problem. Everyday and everytime, I just have to push it a little bit to re-place it correctly. I don't want to removed it cause I'm afraid that it will let an awfull hole on the side of the phone (worse than the USB one). But how long will I keep it like that ?
That said, I don't think that the problem will definitely disappear if HTC send us a new one. We or HTC should find another solution. May be a new stronger rubber cover as we can see on the Nokia Phone ? Who's gonna make this for us ??? Thanks in advance ! ;-)
same here ...
usb removed, not the SD but i will remove it too ...
Removed my rubber USB cover on Thursday as the leather strap that has the magnetic clip on my Krusell case covers the USB port, but goning to leave the SD one on, so as the SD card does not get ejected and lost accidentaly sa it is not as annoying as the USB cover as it is not constantly popping open.

Do not remove the SD cover......i removed both covers on my vox,my phone looks so cheap and ugly now.Try to fiks it with glue or whatever.
me too..... bloody shame as i love the phone !!
i took the USB cover off on day 1 as i use a desk cradle and it was simply in the way but i do not want to remove the SD slot cover. It does now appear that the cover is too big for the hole and i find myself trying to push it in ALL the time !!!! i will NOT glue it but it does spoil what otherwise appears to be a very well designed and built phone !
Just take it off, I don't have my miniUSB nor my microSD rubber covers and everything is fine, doesn't make the phone look "cheap and ugly" at all.
Hi all,
I wonder whether you have the same issue than I now have after 3 months with my Vox.
The rubber fitting of the USB connector slips out again after I stick it in. Some weeks ago it was still fine, then it started to slip out within 2 hours and now within 5 seconds.
Did anyone fix this problem already? I am close to removing it completely as it is really annoying. But then the USB port is open all the time (well, in fact this is the same now).
The rubber fitting for the storage card is also very loose meanwhile, like a bulge already. Also not nice.
Thanks for your thoughts and help. As always, much appreciated!!!
Have a lovely day

Hi there,
I have removed the rubber covering the USB connector by removing the battery cover and lifting out the part which holds the rubeer in place.
The one over the SD slot is constantly loose. I have no idea for that one.
I am open for other suggestions.
Thanks and good luck.

I ripped both the rubbers off my phone some time ago as they are a constant source of irritation
I also took mine off as they just got plain annoying after a while.
just remove it
i think everyone removed it. its a really stupid design. but there was old posts about this quite a while back. anyway, take ur battery cover off then pull on rubber upwards till it pops out. u can put it back if u ever want to sell phone
Known Issue
I believe this is a known issue that HTC used rubber for the connectors and it expands over time making it impossible to fit into their respective homes. However I recently had to send my s710 in for service and it looks like they realized this since when it came back all the connectors were made of some kind of vinyl type material. So far they fit perfectly.
Cheers
I wonder if the replacements can be ordered from HTC?

lol mate u might find my solution awkward(though it isnt),
this is wat i did::
u get those instant glues ... wch fix in one second, like here in india we have it by name "QUICKFIX" ... get one of that and CAREFULLY apply it to the sides of the rubber thing ONLY THE PART THAT ENTERS THE USB PIN... do it in such a way that only a small film/layer is formed on the rubber such that it becomes rough and fits in without slipping out...
REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL WEN U R DOING THIS... FOR EXTRA SAFETY, COVER THE REST OF THE PHONE WITH A CLOTH... AND MAKE SURE THAT THE GLUE HAS COMPLETELY DRIED BEFORE U FIT THE RUBBER THING IN THE PIN... IN CASE U PUT SOME EXTRA GLUE THAT HARDENS LATER AND OBSTRUCTS, THEN USE A BLADE/PIN TO SCRAP THE EXTRA PART...
ALL THE BEST
I Had the same problem, just send it to HTC technical support, and you will get replacement parts, no physical modding, cuz then they don't put new ones in. Contacted HTC and they replace them, if they see they're loose.
I pulled out my rubber too it is better that way. No harm to phone obviously you can put it back
rubber issue
I've had my 710 repaired because of a faulty mainboard. They fixed the rubbers as well.
Hey, I purchased this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Slim-Fit...oneAccessories&var&hash=item461faad5eb&_uhb=1
but everytime I take it out, it scratches the phone.. do you have any tips on how to take it out with scratching it? I've tried the trick with the card+tape, but the card doesnt fit between the case or the phone. Cheers.
I use a genuine s view case, sometimes though my phone doesn't recognise it and won't turn on when I open the case. Also system / accessories is not present when I have this problem. A reboot may make the phone recognise the s view case again. Anyone else got this problem ?
I am having a similar problem. When I restart the S6 when its in the S-View case, the S-View case is not recognized. I then take the phone out of the case and reinsert it back into the case and voila, the S-View works. It is definitely my phone because I've repeated this with three different S-View cases and S6 phones; all three cases work properly on the other two phones and all three cases act the same on my phone. Once I take off the case and replace it, the S-View functions seem to work until I restart the phone again. Also as you mentioned system / accessories is not listed when the S-View is not working. Try taking the case off and putting it back on to see if it works for you.
Also have similar problem. Restarting the phone usually solve the problem. Suspecting is software problem. Hopefully next update will solve the problem.
camera problems
When I use the camera with the case closed the photos appear cropped (not full size) anyone else with the same problem and is there a cure?
Thanks
So I picked up my new G5 in gold only to get home and find scuffs on it after I pealed off all the plastic. Is it worth it to try and get it swapped out through t mobile ? Also has anyone else had this happen to them on this phone or another and what did you do? Thanks for the help. The scuff is under the tray for the sim and sd card (I know its tiny).
Mine is less than 24 hours old and I just noticed 2 simular marks on my phone, I don't have a case yet and don't really care personally being that I do the Jump every year anyway. You might be able to ask for another one in exchange.
Getting a case
I got the silver and I don't see any obvious issues (except the weird chrome that stops abruptly and kind of looks like it was scratched off, but I've heard it's there to allow the antennas to pass through). But the rough edges are begging for a case (and the misalignment with the removable battery might drive me crazy eventually), so I'll be getting a slim one.
Other than that, no cosmetic complaints.
