Volume/ Power buttons turning copper colored?

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but my volume and power buttons have lost their silver color and are now red/ copper colored. Attached is a picture.
Does anyone have this problem?

same things happening to mine. the lower half of my volume button is almost completely copper.

I think that's a flaw thats found only in the white vivid. Ive seen other threads on here talking about it happening to them, but all those users had white devices as well. So far I havent heard of anyone with a black vivid having the problem. Ive got a black one and it's buttons are just as shiny as the day I got it. Havent figured out HTC's reasoning on going with different power and volume buttons on the white phone than they do on the black phone.

Unfortunatelly my friend had worse problem with his white htc vivid.
this colour started to become black. HTC support said that this is due heavy use.
I've ordered for him new black back shell from online shop he replaced it and it looks awesome. After using since 3 weeks buttons are still like brand new.

I'm about to purchase the white one, but i will be promptly applying the trident aegis case to it. For those of you who are experiencing the discolouration, are you using a case, or no?

That's actually when I noticed the copper color forming. I put it in my otterbox commuter and when I took it off a week or two later, the keys were looking copper colored. I put it back in it for a next few days and of course, the paint rubbed off some more. Lol

this is quite unfortunate. :-(
would you say that it is so bad that you wish you had purchased the black one? i sure had my heart set on the white, but i'm quite particular about keeping my devices in mint condition. ugh. quite a dilemma.

how long have you had your phone? wish i had seen this before purchasing mine. i went through hell to put my hands on a white one instead of black - lol.
been using it for about a month and so far so good. only on the back i see some weird deterioration - that HTC logo is looking a bit odd, as if the edges of the logo are coming out. can't say for sure though.

The HTC logo on the back looking funny is caused by your grubby hands! If you grab a paperclip or something pointy, you can scrape it off! Gross huh?

My black Vivid did the samething, could have been made better

lol i even forgot that the buttons came originally silver...
my volume rocker is 9/10 blak , and my power button is 7/10 copper

Yup same issue here. Had my black Vivid about 9 months and the volume rocker is almost all copper and the power button is just about fully stripped of the coating

No Changes on My Vivid
Have had my black Vivid for nearly 11 months. I use it daily, hitting the power button numerous times. Volume button does not get as much use. Both are still the original color. Quality control in the manufacturing process may not be consistent, so that the plating on the buttons can vary from one batch of phones to another. That could be part of the problem. But I can't help but wonder if perspiration, and other stuff, on our hands might be part of the problem as well.
The bigger issue is whether the buttons work. My old HTC HD2 is pretty much DOA now because the power button wore out in less than 2 years of use. I am more concerned that the Vivid's power button will still be working a year from now.

YES, I've had my vivid since may 25th.. I have 2 one black one white both have the issues AT&T told me it was my fault, it was rust from getting wet and etc, I know it wasn't my fault I never get my phones wet, or even the steam from the shower can turn the stickers they are both white and they refused to return and exchange my device because of it.

It appears when the screen is blue and when it is black. I try to unsee it, but alas it is too late. I'm not sure if I want to deal with Asus or not. Anyone deal with them outside of the first 15 days? I've tried fixing it, but there is no change. I have noticed though that it does change shades, but never completely goes away.

Some companies will only exchange if you have 3 or more dead pixels. I don't know what Google's policy is.

Is that on the left side of the screen? Since it is at the edge of the screen you might want to try pressing down firmly on the area while the screen is on. Don't press too hard though.

Tried that as well.. They sent me a message stating that replacement nexus is in shopping cart and I can print the shipping label to send mine back. I can't find any info on stuck/dead pixel coverage on warranty however. Going to look in box. I originally was looking on Asus' site.

Just received replacement, and it had a dead pixel. I kept my old one with the stuck pixel, but I would rather send the one back that has the stuck pixel. I wonder if I could just put it in the box to send back instead.

You would need to file for a separate RMA.

The RMA is tied to the specific unit (using the Google Play serial number), so just putting the new one in the box and sending in under the current RMA would cause all sorts of problems when the serial numbers don't match up. And, I was told that when a replacement is processed, you MUST send in the original and they will NOT cancel the RMA and let you send the replacement back. Stupid, but the rep I was working with was adamant.
I ended up sending back all three of my N7's that I got from the Play store (the original and two replacements). I decided to find one in a local B&M store so I could avoid the UPS shuffle--got tired of waiting for the delivery, then boxing up the replacements and taking them to the UPS store, then waiting (as I still am, but it's not been overly long) for a refund on the original.
The weakness to my strategy, of course, is that I'll have to deal with ASUS if there's a warranty issue. But, yeah, in answer to your question: I'd either get another replacement, or return for a refund and start over.

Nevermind, saw you got it exchanged. ive had three tablets already and none have dead pixels, that is crazy that you would get two. id rma it again

If that that is how a dead pixel look like then the two on mine must be dust particle because it is way less visible (I have to concentrate super hard to see it) than that and totally disappears when view from a slight angle. I am having second thoughts of RMA mine now because mine have very slight screen flicker when viewing at the lowest brightness occasionally only and these 2 dust particles because I don't want to end up with one that have dead pixel like yours which is really noticeable and will annoy the hell out of me.

No, that's not a dead pixel. Dead pixels are black and yeah they are hard to notice.

I'm not sure what exactly is happening on an IPS panel when a pixel is stuck as a very dim but changeable color, but that's what happened to me and sounds like what you're seeing. My first unit had stuck pixels which were only visible on black backgrounds. The Off angle you could barely see it at all, but dead on it was as obvious as any normal dead pixel or stuck pixel. It changed color to match any background, but never turned fully on or off. The op looks like he has a full on stuck white pixel which is a bit more obvious.

The picture is a stuck pixel. It was very annoying. There is one dead pixel on the new one. I might be able to live with it

Went ahead and exchange mine. Now it is rocking. No dead/stuck pixels, light bleeding, screen separation, or flickering of any sorts. I hope I don't jinx myself.:victory::victory::victory:

What are your top 3 Reasons for Return ?

I have been reading the threads here for a while, and alot of you all, have returned several Nexus 7's for various reasons. I'm trying to compile a simple bar graph, to see why people are returning their units. For me the final straw was the Color Hue/ or Tint correctness, or lack thereof.
New on is on par with iPad, 3 just not as bright or vibrant but at least my Blue is Blue now (not Purple)
So have at it.

For me it's been screen raise/separation, screen flicker and one of mine wouldn't charge with the device on, only when it was off.
I'm on my 7th one which has been perfect so far.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

For me, it would be that the price was too high for what I was getting. Also I couldn't do nearly the things I thought I could do with the tablet. It was barely better than a front end for a web browser.
Wait, we are talking about returning an iPad to buy a Nexus 7, right?

Can't see any reason to return mine.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Returned my first Nexus 7 because the colors looked washed out, whites over saturated, and sometimes the screen looked very over exposed (later I'd find out because of video playback).
Unfortunately I wouldn't realized until a couple returns later that all these issues were common on most (if not all) Nexus 7 tablets. I was confused early on by comments of "looks perfect" and "looks as good as my iPad 3".
But after 4 tablets, I'm pretty much convinced the washed out colors, white saturation, and video playback issues are universal. So my first RMA was actually pretty pointless.
My second and third Nexus 7 tablets however had raised glass. Two different types of raised glass though. On the second one the glass was bulging on the left side and could not be pushed down. I never opened the back to investigate what might be causing it. The third Nexus 7 was raised, but I could push it down. So I put a couple small clamp on it, left it over night and it's stayed down a couple days now.

Slight screen separation but I'm not going to return it for just that.

Screen separation, light bleed....thats it. Only 2 things, but they affect the most important part of the device, the screen!

RMA'd two units due to flicker. The second unit also had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, and a yellow tint to the screen. Waiting on my third unit to ship this week, hopefully problem free!

2 dead pixels, erratic screen flickering, and inaccurate colors.

Screen seperation, light flicker, and a ding in the corner

First one was for a dead pixel in a terrible spot for ebook reading, and it was otherwise the best unit. The other two were primarily because whites had a sickly yellow tint. All of them had screen separation to one degree or another, and all had the flicker.
I'm waiting awhile for these issues to be worked out, then I'll give it another shot.

Screen lift on two units. Flickering on the first one too. Lower speaker volume on second one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Severe screen lifting on first (though not returning since I seem to have fixed it).
Second one going back because gyro/accelerometer/compass all way off and the frame has a kink/dint in it along with a small amount of lift and screen movement..
I have fairly washed out colours but I don't see that as a problem, I prefer the toned down colours to my overly vivid phone colours.

Deleted

The washed out colours is a software problem in tegra3 it will be resolved soon.

Bought first one from Sam's on the 13th, returned due to screen lift. Noticed it after a week of heavy use.
Ordered an 8 from Google. Right out of the box, minor screen separation. RMA went through yesterday, getting a replacement.
I was more upset about a strip of stuck pixels in my second unit when I called in the RMA, but that wasn't there anymore the next time I booted up. Other than the very minor screen separation, which has not significantly progressed in the two weeks I've had it, I have no complaints about this unit. But I will be exchanging it anyway because I'm afraid it will get worse. I haven't been using this one nearly as much.
Here is a picture of my second unit. Look at the far side. The left bezel is a thin silver line, interrupted by the black display where the screen isn't flush.

I returned mine because I bought an extra one by mistake. I had ordered from OfficeDepot first, but when they said they were backordered, I made a new order from Staples. As luck would have it, they both arrived on the same day. I returned the one from Staples because Staples is closer to where I live.

First Nexus 7 from the play store had a bad digitizer. Returned it and got a RMA replacement with a bad head phone jack. Took a little effort by me but I got it working by sticking a needle in the jack and fixing the pins on the inside.....I still got bad crackling from my speaker but its not worth returning it and waiting on another tablet to come in.

I was thinking of exchanging it for another because of the washed out colors. Its not too bad but I wasn't sure if this was common. I started reading more and more people with the same issue. So I'm keeping it. Its not too bad and I have no other problems with it. Here is hoping maybe an update can improve it.

The Inc[RED]ible S

The IncREDible S
Hi all
I want to share my project The Incredible S. It's not finished this time, but is going to be in the next days.
A friend has dropped his phone out while he was driving his motorbike. The result of this little accident was a completly destroyed IncS-Housing:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My friend bought a new phone and gave the IncS to me.
The Idea
I decided to buy a new housing, the phone itself was fully working and the screen was not broken. I searched on eBay for some housings and found a red one that looked very nice. I fall in love with this and bought it.
The Assembling
After 3 weeks of wating for shipping my housing, I began to disassemble the Incredible and build it into the new housing.
That was sometimes difficult, especially the screen that was glued with a ton of glue and sticked to the housing and was very hard to remove.
But I also handled this hard part and assembled my new red Incredible S that will replace my black Incredible S.
The Failing :silly:
But the first try failed: After some days of using my phone, I recognized a screen lift. The glue isn't sticking anymore and dirt went between glass and display. Also i destroyed the display a little bit: It wasn't illuminated everywhere the same.
And the tip of the iceberg: I killed the digitizer, a have about a half cm in the bottom part that doesn't work anymore.
As summary: The housing looks nice, but thats all. I have a phone that looks good but can't do really much (like the iPhone )
The never giving up (aka the second try)
So I again ordered a red housing, but this time with a new display (Glass and Display as one part, they hold together now).
Add 23.12.2012:
Today I tried to build my Red phone as the display/glass/digitizer and the red case arrived. The button light is taken from the other case, since there are still working fine.
Before I built the Screen into the case, I tested the functionality of the phone and digitizer without any case. Sadly, I killed my button lights with my dissasembling from the old case.
Now I'm awaiting some new button lights and hope that I can have my complete red Incredible S this year.
What do you think about my project? Do you think red is a good color for a phone? Would you have yourself a red phone?
P.S. I know my english is not good, I had a hard day at School and my brain is now too f****ed up to write something english with correct gammar and so on...

Sounds interesting, good luck. I also dropped my phone 1 week ago, screen was fine but the casing has a little scratch(not like yours posted in picture, mine is barely noticable).
Let me know how it goes I am curious as I might replace mine too in future if I drop it more .

Looks cool bud. You didn't order a new digitizer? Or did you order a new LCD and glass and digitizer?

I remember when I dropped my phone on the street and scratched the whole front... I'm glad HTC replaced the front because of a motherboard problem and a broken vibrator (sounds weird but I know no other name).

So today I tried to build my new IncREDible S.
But again I failed... The screen and digitizer was working fine, but I had to take out the button lights from my first try and sadly killed them. Now I have a case, a Screen with digitizer(and glass) and a mainboard wo isn't in any case and now I'm awaiting some new button lights...

Because the housing has some glue in it. And when I disassemble and reassemble, the glue doesn't stick as good as it did. So I bought a new housing.
And the housings and displays were chepaer then a new phone: 70swiss francs vs 450-600 swiss francs for a new phone.

Dust in screen?!?!

I seem to have a spec of something in the screen, I just noticed it yesterday. I'm 100% sure it was not there before as its on the white part of the gmail icon on my homescreen, so if it was there before I would have noticed it.
I'm also pretty certain it's not a dead pixel as it appears above the text on my screen. Also if I position some text so the corner or edge of a letter just touches it, it seems to shift if I look at it in different angles which would indicate its not a pixel but something above the actual LCD panel.
Not sure how to explain this better, but I have seen LCDs with dead pixels, something behind the LCD panel, and something between the LCD and glass, and this definitely looks like it something above the lcd.
The thing is, the Xperia Z LCD panel is meant to be bonded directly to the LCD, so there is no air gap, so theoretically nothing can get between the LCD and the glass.
Anyway, I just ordered a usb microscope (always wanted one anyway) which should arrive tomorrow so I can get a better look at this and figure out what is going on.
Just really bugging me at the moment, also heard that sony has been refusing repairs on Xperia Z with less than 3 faulty pixels, so also worried if it is indeed a pixel.

OK, it is definitely dust or something in my screen, I have tried shining a bright LED into the screen and I can see a speck with the screen off, exactly where the the black spec shows up on my screen is on.
I thought the whole lcd was meant to be bonded to the screen removing the whole of the air layer. as shown on sony's website.
Anyone have similar issue? or know about if there is indeed a gap between the lcd and the glass?

Well, no one seems interested in this thread, but here goes anyway. Just in case someone does have same issue later on:
usb microscope arrived today and here are the pictures:

It clearly shows that its not a dead or stuck pixel. there is definitely something between the LCD and the glass. Which would mean that there is a gap between the LCD and the front glass. I thought that there isn't a gap as the LCD is bonded to the glass.
Have to find time to take it to sony and see what they say I guess.

Thankfully there are people who share their problems even when no one was intetested like in this thread I am curious how this issue end up for the dust owner Well, I have bought Z1 Compact and it seems I'm facing the same problem. Firstly, I thought that maybe dead pixel appeared after few days but can't be - that black spot is seen even when the screen is turned off. It's very small but for me makes huge difference.

I need help quickly! I have the same problem with my XZ, i have dust under the digitizer (only visible on white and green light), if I send it on RMA, will they change the screen and digitizer (I heard somewhere that they need to do that because it's sticked together), or just clean the dust?
Thanks in advance

Thankfully there are people who share their problems even when no one was intetested like in this thread I am curious how this issue end up for the dust owner Well, I have bought Z1 Compact and it seems I'm facing the same problem.

Sony took it in for repair, took them nearly 3 weeks but ended up giving me a new phone (different IMEI and newer manufacturing date). Not quite sure why I got a new phone but it was all good!

They told me that the front of the phone with lcd and digitizer gets replaced as it's all one part.
