I have dust under the entire screen of 2 Slides (Espresso), I couldn't notice it indoors but it is glaringly apparent when in the sun. The phones go back tomorrow. I've had my G1 for a year and a half with not a single spec of dust under the screen. I've had 2 MT3G Slides (Espresso) for 6 days and dust is under both screens; these devices are very cheaply made. Phone is lightning fast, screen size is great, physical keyboard is great, UI has some excellent features you can find nowhere else ... too bad I won't be keeping them. Been nice knowing you guys. :mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xenoletum:
Seriously everyone be lucky that this is the only problem that people are having with this phone. You want to talk about shoddy build quality on first run devices, lets not even mention what the original PSP was like. If all that's wrong is that a few people have a bad bezel, then I'd say you made out well with the phone. NJAZ, just exchange them and have the employee test them at the store before you walk out with it, problem solved.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Well I have to send them back as I ordered them online. 2 phones plus about 5 other people I know with these phones have dust blowing in under the defective bezel. It's unacceptable. Like I care about a PSP. What the hell does a PSP have to do with this? You didn't even comment on your phone having the light leaks/gaps or not. What is your point? You think folks should settle for inferior builds of an expensive phone? You can ignore whatever you'd like. I will wait for a better phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] SoMuch2S@y:
Wanted to add to my previous post about mine not having the leak... I have the red one.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
I'm pretty sure the light leak or gaps (very small) is only part of the problem. HTC uses an adhesive strip around the LCD screen to join the digitizer to the LCD theoretically creating an impenetrable seal between the 2 pieces of hardware. I must have a defective adhesive strip joining my digitizer and LCD. Unfortunately my wife's has the exact same issue. The gaps in the bezel seal certainly don't help but had the adhesive strip done it's job the dust should never have gotten under my screen(s). I am actually happy to return them, I'm going to wait for some new/better devices to come out as time goes by. My G1 is running GREAT! Currently I have more available memory on my G1 than I had with the Espresso! Have fun with your Espresso phones, I know I did! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
I would love to know what added hardware you have to do that :eek:? My g1 has about 40megs free with the ram hack, max.. The slide easily hovers over 300megs

I do have a slight light leak, doesnt bother me too much
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sk8rbebop:
I live in Arizona, in the middle of the desert. The phone has been out for a week. No light leaks and no dust. It is a first line of a new device. 5-10 bad devices out of a 1000 is what you are complaining about. And that is why they have a 14 day return policy. Don't be immature and return the defective devices. You sound like you're trying to start a lynch mob.

The reason a previous poster brought up the PSP is that it is an electronic device no different than your phone. They are all made out of plastic and metal. They all have problems. You can ***** when you've returned it two or three times. If you want a good phone example, try the AT&T batch of RAZRs. 50% of them were defective within two months.

On another note, no device will replace the G1. But the times are changing and you might as well support the T-Mo, HTC, Android union. Just think, you could be stuck with a WinMo 5, Samsung, US Cellular one.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ArticosX:
This might be a larger problem than just the Espresso phones, if these issues are related. Threads have started popping up about glass separation on the Evo's also. Theory is the adhesive is failing, and it gets worse with use. Same story: separation on the lower portion of the screens. The Evo forums are talking about the corners popping up and there being play between the glass and the frame, but they are also noticing dust getting under the glass and light leakage, as in the issue being discussed here.

More info over at AndroidForums and the htc forums - no response from htc yet. I just tried to post the links, but it's flagging the post since I'm new here. I'll put them in a separate post when I'm able, if someone else doesn't link them here first. (Not spam, really!)

Been reading here to see if I want to pick up a Slide...not so sure now, at least until this is fixed.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Thank you for posting this. I was going to. People are too quick to scream "DEFECT"... in legal terms, "Defect" is a powerful and very specific term, which usually leads to recalls, which we haven't seen yet. I learned most of this from my days working at Nokia. You're looking at a small fraction of a small percent of buyers. For every 1 person complaining of a "defect", there are probably at least 1000 people that have absolutely no issues, and I bet you not one of those 1000 people will come onto the Internet just to say "Hey guys, just letting you know I have no problems! Thanks!!!"...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
That's funny ... I was talking about application/internal memory, thought that would have been pretty obvious. G1: 85mb, Slide: 80mb (Free internal). I'm sure Froyo/root will take care of that. Now you can love knowing what I was talking about, next time just use your brain :cool:

Your phone is awesome!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
All the phones I've seen have what I consider to be a defect. I think it's important that consumers know what they are getting into when I am seeing a consistent trend. I have changed the title of the thread to better reflect my experience. 7 days is not enough time to be warned by a company of a potential defect. I'm merely advocating for discerning Android users so that they will inspect their units immediately upon purchase and not accept shoddy workmanship. Using a forum to have a constructive discussion about issues I have seen with several of these phones is only helpful. If your phone is fine, good for you but don't try to educate me on how you would handle the situation.

There may be 1000 people who have no clue there is a problem until it is too late to return the devices in the remorse period. I made it very clear what my issue was, where and how the "defect" could be inspected and reminded people that they have a buyers remorse period available. If I saved 1 person some frustration I am happy I did it. Take it or leave it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Nice ... razors and PSP's ... lynch mobs. I am stuck with nothing, I have only tried to help, I have only been informative and have praised the device. I have no idea where you're coming from and I really don't care. Don't try to get a lynch mob going against me professor positive. Hey good for you on your device, enjoy!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
You're again missing the point. Whats the max number you have read about? Maybe 50? Stop the presses...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
No, buyer beware. I think people can decide for themselves if this thread is useful without your assistance. Enjoy your phone!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sk8rbebop:
If you were trying be constructive then you would have returned your device and attempted to get one that was not defective. You wouldn't post how upset you were, post in your sig in red that you were not going to replace the device, and attempt to convince others of feeling as dissatisfied as you are now.

Funny thing is, I had an original GSM AT&T RAZR that I used on Tmo for three years, while everyone else had issues. I think we can both agree that the G1's were amazing and sturdy phones. Got mine on release day and still works like a charm. But it was not so for others and one of my good friends went through three in the first month. It is the luck of the draw. Maybe the store you went to had an entire batch of defunct adhesive sealant.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
I see. I definitely agree it is useful and good to let people aware of an issue they may have, but a bit much to call it a defect. Luckily, I am not experiencing any issue, except maybe the light leak through the USB port, but only if the keyboard backlight is on. My phone stays in my pocket, and while I get the usually lite dusting inside the battery cover, my screen hasn't shown signs of it... yet anyways.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
I updated the title post last night to reflect that this has been my experience. I sincerely hope that anyone reading has not had the same trouble I have had. I agree with some of the other posters that the best plan is to simply replace the device and try again. Two things have really upset me with this issue 1) my G1 is 2 years old with not a single problem and 2) I ordered online and the return process is a bit of a hassle. The most frustrating thing is that I absolutely love this phone. Thanks for everyone's input. Enjoy your phones.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
No actually thats not obvious because the crazy thing is, the slide's were all released with 145 megs of internal memory. I guess your device must have been really defective.. that or what ever part of you brain/ eyes interprets numbers.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
After install of all your apps you have 85mb or more remaining on your Slide? After I installed my apps on the Slide I had 80+ megs available. Same setup on G1 leaves me with 85+ megs. I just find it a bit unusual that there is so little memory available with relatively few apps installed. You have a nice life turboyo!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
Dude your going in circles trying to knock something, the g1 has 85 or 90 megs with

nothing

installed on it. Installing all of my apps on the slide I have about 60 left to play with, yes that number might not make people feel as comfortable but at the end of the day theres still memory left for what ever other crap I can come up with to install.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
I'm not knocking anything. Granted I'm running apps2sd on the G1. It just doesn't seem like a lot of memory left over on the Slide. Froyo/Root should solve this issue ... as I stated earlier. Thanks for your posts and sorry if I insulted you earlier, my return process has put me in a bad mood. I can tell from your posts on the forum that you're a helpful member of the community, thanks for your efforts.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Etype R:
That is the reason I often buy locally, rather then online. Ease of return is worth quite a bit in my book ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] goodwinm:
The /data partition on the G1 is about 75M, and on the Slide is about 145M. That is how much either has available for apps on a clean slate.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ArticosX:
Yes, thanks! If htc is using the same adhesive across their lines, this makes sense. Will keep an eye on the htc forum and see if they post a reply at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Digitaldreamer7:
I just wanted to say thank you for realizing that it was a defective phone and not flaming it because of something that was clearly a manufacturing error.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
I have stated all along that the phone is awesome. I'm interested to see how many more people start to see the dust under the screen issue. My main point was to get people to catch it early (if it was an issue at all) so they could address it appropriately. Never, ever, tried to imply that the phone was inherently bad.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Digitaldreamer7:
Yup, I was thanking you cause someone started a thread saying the phone was crap based on his own personal defective device.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
I was about to pull my hair out due to the pathetic battery life on this phone. I screwed and fiddled with every setting I know to fiddle with, with pretty much no luck. I would have to charge after roughly 6 hours of moderate use. Well, finally removed the friendstream widget thinking that would be enough...but nothing. I then went into accounts-sync and completely removed the "facebook for htc sense" account. I think that is what friendstream uses. Anyway, battery life is now actually pretty impressive. I took my phone off charger at 2am last night...played around with it this morning...a couple pictures/emails, about 10 mins. of google nav, showing my bro some things. Anyway, I am at 80% battery life (almost 12 hours to the minute). That is a HUGE improvement and I am now in love with my phone again :) . A GREAT alternative to friendstream (I think as good if not better) is Pure Messenger Widget. Does almost the exact same thing as friendstream (can include gmail, twitter, facebok and some other social utilities), but uses a ton less battery and is skinnable with htc sense skins to integrate nicely within the EVO.

Figured I would post for those that are having battery issues like I was....give it a try and you should be nicely surprised!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
Where to get it though? Don't see that app in market. I can see all the suthors other apps fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbm85:
Just curious... do you happen to remember what the sync interval was before you deleted it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
default for live stream is 2 hours I believe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriptx:
I, for one, appreciate linking my contacts with Facebook, as it provides me with birthday reminders and contact photos with very little effort. I could care less however for the live feed BS. I've unchecked "Sync live feed", and have increased the Sync duration to once a day.

Another big battery killer is the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700601 CDMA battery trick, which I have seen great results from.

All of these suggested battery killers are software issues.. something HTC could easily help manage.. or perhaps someone could write a decent "Power Profile" for the phone that basically neuters the power hungry bg processes?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
As long as you have the 'live feed' disable you can remove friendstream and still keep contacts synced. I do and the birthdays and pictures from facebook show up fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I am also not seeing it in the Market, but all of the dev's other apps are there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
I should have clarified. I deleted facebook for sense, then added back and only checked off sync live feeds. If you don't do this then it still updates and I have found sucks the life out of the battery at a ridiculous rate no matter what interval you set. I have been using my phone a good amount today (17 hours off charger) and I'm at 40%. Considering I was seeing yellow at 5-6 hours before, I am as happy as can be. CDMA was already set on my phone, the above change is the only change I have made and directly responsible for my battery improvement.

I cannot find pure messenger widget in the market either, so if anyone wants .apk, just let me know. I had it backed up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deinef20:
Awesome! Thanks for the tip... I'm going to try and disable "sync live feeds" and see how it goes because I've had to practically keep my EVO plugged in since I got it!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
Also, You can probably remove the included Stock app from syncing all together, I prefer Google finance anyway. Also if you use the half screen twitter widget, you can turn off or set sync to one day since it will update whenever you open the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Did you remove the whole app "Facebook for HTC Sense" somehow or just remove the account and redo the account?

If you removed the app and put it back, can you explain how you did that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
You don't want to remove HTC Facebook Sense -- that's the app that allows you to sync your Facebook contacts with your contacts in Address book (the one that shows your pictures of your contacts).

If you want to remove FriendStream, it's best to turn off "Live Sync Feed" first (Menu - Settings - Accounts & Sync - HTC Facebook - Uncheck Live Sync Feed), then uninstall it; otherwise Live sync will always try to sync your feed continuously, thus resulting in battery drain.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
I know, I was talking about the poster on the other page that was trying to kill the stuck "sync news feed" function. Even after you uncheck it, it still keeps updating the news feed. Must be a bug somewhere.

Anyway, I found that by removing your Facebook for HTC Sense account then re-adding it and immediately unchecking Sync Live Feed fixes it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
I wasn't addressing your post, but thanks for the heads up -- I was never aware of the bug... well, it's never happened to me anyway.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Yeah many people have found that even after unchecking Sync Live Feed, the people list still keeps getting all those annoying news feed updates. It makes the silly think constantly update and sync wasting what little valuable electricity we have.

What interests me with the Galaxy S, is that it comes with native Divx support - and yet, even with Froyo 2.2, the nexus one still lags behind without it...

Good luck with rooting, hacking, modding the Samsung Galaxy.

That's why my past 5-6 phones have been HTC - this community right hurr :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
The galaxy s will be a good phone, the GPU is great, and if gaming/video (or anything that is GPU reliant) on the thing is what you're after it is the current top dog. As far as spec's are concerned, the galaxy s is on top right now. It will not get updates as quick, and rooting will be harder.

If you are looking to root and mod I would go with the nexus one.

I have an N1, its a great phone, and I can hold off for its successor; it will be great. I think that google and HTC learned a lesson with the N1. Google more so I think, they will be a bit more involved, and will ensure HTC uses the better parts.
