Do I need it? Is it necessary for ID/warranty? Can I remove it? Will it leave glue on the back?
I don't like it. It takes away from the purity
I took mine off the first day. It came off pretty easy with no glue residue. ESN number is in settings and any other numbers you may need are on the box.
via sexy phONE.
No you do not need it for warranty as they can boot up into bootloader and show the barcodes I think it was just there as a means of easy activating
Mine started rubbing off the first day. It's completely gone now but the phone is in a case so I left the sticker on for now.
I removed on both my ONEs as soon as I got them.
OK thanks guys it's coming off now.
The beats audio logo is removable also. Just use nail polish remover and it'll come off clean =)
Mine just faded off all the numbers so I peeled it off

Mine completely rubbed off (lol) after about a week.
First thing I did after taking the phone out of the box was remove the dumb sticker.
Barcode Sticker
The sticker is trash, all the info on it is in the phone and on the box.
On a side note, why would a company put the serial number of a device on a removable sticker? I have had this happen before and then it is not legal to resell because the serial number has been removed. This practice needs to stop. End of rant.

You don't even need nail polish remover if you're like me and slide the phone in and out of your pocket all day haha. My beats logo is almost gone after having the phone for about a month.

If you need a replacement volume rocker try looking for broken Xplays on ebay. There could be a good chance that the volume rocker is good and just a broken screen, or something.

I was able to remove the piece from one middle housing and put it on the other . I post some photos soon I wanna post a write on it all so other users can do this without all the hassle since I found out the hard way.

Check out the first photo where the back of the middle plate has a black sticker on it, that black sticker on the other side of it is a gold ribbon that goes into the housing and makes contact with two pins on the bottom end of the mother board.
The second photo is the replacement I ordered from the same link you posted in your OP. You could buy the one you linked and peel back the black sticker and super glue it back to the replacement middle housing, which is what I did because the back of the L1 and R1 are white on the new housing and the Verizon triggers are black on the back, looks better in white and in picture three I think I did a pretty decent job even though the photo does it no justice, and minus my thumb print!
Is that by design? Maybe just bad design? Or is it just my phone?
I feel like mine is loose too. Always coming off randomly. A case should fix that problem though.

It is a bad design. One side squeaks when I press it and it is too easy to knock off without a case.

The back on mine seems fine. Does have a squeak on one side, but stays firmly in place.

Mine Vol- squeeks a little. As far as the battery cover goes I don't feel as though it's too loose. It requires an acceptable amount of force to slide it off, and clicks securely back in place
I lost my back cover for a day, found it in my car, I took it off my car Holder and when I took it off, it fell under the seat. I immediately went out and bought a cheap back cover.

Ditto here.
Just bend the metal tabs of the metal cover up so they are tighter against the plastic housing of the phone. I did this too and the problem is solved. Only need to bend them about 1-2 mm.

cover loose
Funny for HTC to go through the trouble of making a sturdy looking metal cover to have it function like a cheap peice of plastic. Doesn't matter how light the fall, the back come's off my raider. It appears if you tweak the side tabs on the cover you'll get a tighter fit, don't break them though. I haven't tried that yet, however.
Remember there was some drop test for this in one of the reviews out there. When dropped heads down, the lid comes off even it's dripped 3inches.
Still like this better than Samsung plastic backs that start warping and squeaking after some taking off and snapping back.

Yes that's right my less than 24 hour old one is broken. There is a hairline crack that runs from home button to heaphone jack. By the home button there is another small crack too.
The phone was not dopped at all and has been in otterbox commuter, and pretty bc much in my hands all day. I was holding the phone and all of the sudden it cracked. I'm really just at a loss for words and dumbfounded at how this happened.

I understand it sounds ridiculous, I ran a phone store for many years and heard stories and saw things I wish I didn't. One guy hands me his phone said it doesn't work, I asked if it got wet and he tells me that his cow ate it and then threw it back up again. We go through a lot of purell. I've never had someone tell me it just broke while holding it and trying to take a screen shot, but that's what happened.
I love the phone, it was running without hiccups all day. I don't want a different phone, but I don't want to be looking at a long road of replacements either and I think most of us can agree on that, so I had to share my experience.

That's not a crack in the screen. It looks like a line of pixels went out. Who's replacing it for you? Sprint? Walk into a store and tell them this happened out of nowhere. If you're still within 14 days, they have to replace it.

It is the internal LCD that is broken, not the outer glass. Sprint is giving me a fight but they will replace it, just sucks waiting and getting the run around. The more I use the phone the worse it's getting.

From the picks it doesn't look physically broken at all, it looks like, what someone else said, like a strip of pixels died. So, that could be a bad flex cable or a screen defect. maybe the otterbox was warping the phone? was it a snug fit?
I hate to be that guy, but I'll be the second story of "my screen actually did break and I have no idea how".
I will admit, the phone did take a drop off a couch on to tile; but no screen damage was done, just a slight scuff on the landing zone. That was 2 days ago.
Yesterday i'm out with some friends, doing some gardening at his place, and I pull out my phone and there's a hairline crack from the volume buttons to the home button, I'll update with a picture when I find my camera. And now today, when i woke up, I was using my phone and noticed some stuck pixles on the middle top of the screen. I bought the phone on the third and I'm not sure if this kind of thing should be covered or not; if it's even worht calling or going into sprint?
EDIT: LINK TO ALBUM HERE
I couldn't get the pixle since they are so damn small and i don't have a macro lens for the camera.
I don't even know how it could have happend while it was in my pocket or from the fall(last picture) since it wasn't broken at all that day.
I reveretd to stock rom without SU but we cannot removed the tamper markings if i contact sprint what do i do about that?
I am going to agree and say that is a pixel issue. Glass does not crack like that or a LCD screen unless it is intentionally scored.

Honestly as I tech I'd prefer you not remove it... without it, it makes it alot harder for us to verify that its the correct device. Actually it would be impossible to verify the device aside from them ICCID on the sim. May cause trouble if you have TEP so I'd personally refrain from removing it.

Going into the settings to retrieve it is not hard and far from impossible.
The sticker will eventually fall off and the ink begins to wear anyway.

Ah yes, in that case it would prove helpful. With that said, I would still recommend taking the sticker off and keeping it in a safe place as the ink does wear, etc.
That information is also included with the box... unless you purchase your phone used or already open that information thats on the box should match the one from the phone.
I removed mine and stuck it inside the box. I kept my receipt inside as well. Should be safe in there just in case you will ever need it.

My main concern was just if the phone is totally fckd and won't power on, screen burnt out, cant charge, etc, there is no way to confirm that device is the device on your account if you remove the sticker. If we send back the wrong ESN to Sprint, they'll charge anywhere from $180-350 against our tech centers profit so obviously being able to confirm that it is the actual device on the account is an important thing to me. Now based of what everyone is saying about it rubbing off, I think when I get mine I'll personally just remove the sticker and put it on my box so I don't loose it, that way if I ever have to exchange it I can just stick it back on and have 0 worries.

Get it replaced. Seems like an issue with the magic eye of the lens. It's probably damaged or a dirt got inside your phone and made it's way to the eye.
Or could you try to lightly tap the phone in your palm? It might get off the eye also but of course it's still there inside so kinda annoying.
