<- Can someone tell me how this picture came in this post?!!??
[I put it there. V]
Same here!
I have the same problem!
Very annoying considering how much the device is - this is the only negative that I have about it.
This is where a silicone case would come in useful. None presently exist for the Trinity, but then it is only a matter of time.
can someone post a picture of the problem. i am also thinking about getting a dopod d810 soon in the new year and I would like to see how serious the problem is....
yep a photo of the problem would be great.
Have you tried getting the phone replaced?
I've sent the phone in for a service to see what they have to say. But HTC will most likely deny that this is their problem... *argh*
I will post a picture when I come home.
Sound as the same problem with the Wizard after a few weeks you can peel of the coating on the side also (think wet hands).
Check out the attached files...
BTW: mine started to peel off on the front too... This is crap! *argh*
Did you drop it or was this from normal use? I'm a bit worried now...
Can a black sharpie or something make it look better? I'm interested to hear what HTC says!
humm, mine is still perfect after 2 weeks
No dropping or anything. I've used it with care, even though I'm a bit "fast" when I take out the stylus, but I mean a unit like this should be built for that kind of use. (and I don't have any long sharp nails either which might actually be a killer for the paint.... )
btw: what is a sharpie? Some kind of "make-up" stick?
HTC should offer to replace the phone.
I would be pretty alarmed if they didn't.
Sorry, Sharpie is a permanent marker
Google it
hi guys,
that looks pretty bad. it can only get worse if its peeling like that. get a replacement. it seems the gloss coat isnt bonded properly to the case
Peeling off here too....
Well I have this problem too, but its merely visible. The interesting thing is: It looks like there is shining metal under the coating. Can anybody confirm this? I wouldnt mind to have the bottom piece looking like blank metal.
I think there is a dark, semi-shining metal below the coating.
Still waiting for a reply from the service center.
OMG they seems to painted the bottom part of white Trinity case over with black paint on top.. semi-shining metal coating you guys seeing is what bottom part of white Trinity looks like in fact.
Just took a look at the white trinity now.. And you know what SecureGSM? You might be right... Or maybe it's just a coincidence...?

Just curious how well everyones devices have been holding up? I've had my advantage for a little over a year now, and It has became an almost indespensible everyday device for me. After about 6 months I decided to ditch the original leather case, and use it naked. Overall i'm pretty tough on my advantage. I've had a screen protector on it since birth, so my screen is perfect,its been dropped numerous times, damn butter fingers, without any microdrive issues. There is quite a bit of wear around the edges on mine from the keyboard rubbing, and the plastic around where you insert the stylus has spider cracked...I even have a crack on the plastic that covers the camera lens. Luckily it doesent show up in any of the pictures it takes. I really couldnt be happer with how my device has held up to my abuse everyday. The advantage has probably been my first device...that if and when i break it for good...I will probably replace it with another advantage. Below are some shots of how its holding up....and yes its about time for a good scrubbing heh.

And my heavily work keyboard still works like a charm though
I also had mine for over a year now, and I'm pleased to say that it is still looking very good.
Like you, if I for any reason is to find a replacement for my Athena, it will still be the same Athena (the 7500/7501, not the 7510), unless they come up with a better replacement.
As you can see, mine is in really really good condition. The paint for the "reset" lettering comes and USB port comes off a little bit due to trying to stick my stylus and usb port in the dark, but it is otherwise looking new. My keyboard is unused so that plastic part is completely without scratch.
I'll add my pics at come spoint, but what I was thinking is why didn't us lot who use the keyoard not just leave that plastic thing on the keyboard on, would mean our keyboards aren't screwed now.

I've been using that since I got my ameo. It's really useful. They've replaced it twice when I had to send my machine for repairs (which for $25 is great). So mine is still pristine.
Unfortunately the second time mine went in for microdrive issues, the replacement unit has a hairline crack by the stylus hole. Not really noticeable unless you look for it (which I did on its return ).

Wow, thanks for the link, that zagg shield stuff looks killer, plus they do one for the full body of the advantage! that almost tempts me to get a new advantage just to use this! at this point, mine is rough enough that I wouldnt bother putting one on it....but someday....
And eaglesteve...mad props for keeping yours looking at clean as it is....I kinda wanted a silver one more...but im afraid with my roughness, the white/silver would show more of my damage heh
I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?
I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.
Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)
Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?
Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.
yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something
Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

Well, I fell snowboarding the other day with my phone in a chest pocket. I caught an edge and sandwiched my hand between my body and some ice. Needless to say I broke my hand and completely bent my phone but miraculously my screen didn't break, so at least I have that going for me which is nice.
Kind of sucks because HTCS 6 month manufacturing warranty only covers cracked screens, fml
Here are some pictures, I figured somewhere here might enjoy this.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Htc One wave (tm)
On a serious note that should be easily fixed just by replacing the case. That is if everything works fine inside
I got pain on the chest by looking at those pictures.
Hope you can fix it soon.
Yeah, ordering a new backside should be the cheapest way. Replacing it is not hard - all you need is a bit of patience and a source of heat. Order the top and bottom of the front aswell, those are bastards to remove and replace properly - other then that it sounds more dramatic then it is.
remove tops and bottom, heat and remove back side (there is guides on youtube/interwebz). The internals and screen is the expensive parts and those should still be allright for you.
Yea I've thought about replacing the case., I was able to bend it slightly back into place which makes it at least fit in the case again.
Everything works, for now. The only problem I've noticed is two bright spots in the center of the screen most likely from something pushing on the backlight. It's only noticable when looking at dark content which I can lI've with.
I must say HTC did a pretty damn good job engineering this phone :good:
if HTC-LG have a baby...this is the HTC G-flex
@popwarfour At least you managed to answer the question. "HTC One M8 - Does it bend?"
Hope your hand recovers okay.
I actually bent mine as well somehow and I sent it into htc for repair, they fixed it and didn't charge me anything for it. I can't even tell it was even bent. Mine was not as severe as that though.
Has anyone (especially those who own Black Pearl colour) exprenced this (first picture).
At first I thought it's just some dust but when I washed my phone and looked closely, it's actually something under the glass which looks like a cheap temepered glass's border (second picture).
The difference is only some parts of them are in white, the rest are beautiful in black (or transparent?).
It doesn't affect waterproof or anything but still triggers me a lot. Is this normal ?

This looks totally normal, it looks like dust build up in the slight gap between the tempered glass and screen itself or the space between the screen and body in some chase.. this is usually noticeable on black phones.
So U are saying that upon close inspection it looks like it's under the glass?
If so, I can confirm that it may be possible, because I'm having that issue. I have a silver titanium model, and on the upper side, it seems that the silver paint doesn't go all the way to the edge on the front glass, so I am able to see the glue that holds the glass.

I'm pretty sure it's not the dust because I even sink the phone in water.

it is just dust and dirt build up, I don't find it alarming, you can still show it to a repairer to be sure..

well yes if you are worried about the small details... I myself have the silver titanium, it at time collects thread pieces from my pockets on the sides..
Hi, I'm not really interested in cases or drop protection as I don't like the bulk all these choices add to the phone, but what I did have on the back of my S7 Edge was a non slip kinda rubbery clear backing. This was purely to make it easier to pick up and hold without it sliding out of my hand... so kind of a protection in a way, bit not obtrusive. I also noticed the S7 Edge sliding dangerously across tabletops when on vibrate without this stuff, but was fine once I stuck it on. However, I can't remember what make it was or anything so I was wondering if anyone knows of something like that? I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Hi
Have a look at Dbrands Skins maybe thats what you are looking for.
Jay
I got a rear screen protector which has carbon fiber-ish texture. It has come together with my front screen protector.
It does the job perfectly. I`m not a fan of cases as well, just wanted a scratch protection.
I don`t know whereabouts you are based, but I got it from eBay UK. I`m not sure if I could provide the link here?
Just search for "carbon fiber skin" or "rear(back) screen protector".
It was nothing branded, nor expensive. To be honest I didn't even know that I`ll be getting rear one with the front screen protector in one bundle
My advice when applying - use hairdryer on the edges - if you do it properly, both screen protectors won`t be lifting up at all. See dbrand instruction videos on their youtube channel.
It took me about 5 wasted ones to get to perfection LOL
Marcin
Hi. Apologies for lack of reply and thanks for the leads...
... but I found what I was looking for - it's actually Slickwraps Naked. Once you put it on properly you can barely tell it's there except for the little extra grip it provides. I got the coral blue s9+ so kinda didn't want to hide the prettiness so it's good for that too. :good:
Gadget shieldz is what I have. It wraps around the sides and stays put really good giving it awesome grip with no case...
