Hello.
According to screen replacement tutorial videos, they remove the screen after heating up the corners with dair dryer(or kind of tool). So I would try heating the hoovered area a bit and press it to make it stick. Just a humble opinion.
tryd that with a hair dryer.. But dont help.. Keep getting back up.. Its like somthing pushes it up.. But dont know what it is.. Its a smal gap above the screen and most on the right corner... Verry weird

There is already a little dust on the Top of the screen ..
I emailed a few repair shops and they say the only thing they can do is a new screen bummer...

Realy.. I thought i was the only one... Mine also on the right corner and also a few parts in the middle of the screen... And I don't know what cause the problem
I have the same problem with my previous note 4. There's a double sided tape for phones. Black ones. I took out everything and replace the tape.
Before that, I used a love mei case to cover the whole phone.

My phone is a couple of weeks old and the paint on one corner has already rubbed (or has been scratched) off leaving the shiny aluminum exposed. Has anyone else got this issue or have any bright ideas to restore the matt black color? I tried a Sharpie but it didn't stick.

Humm, this is worrying. I hope it's a fluke
Got a spot of aluminium as well in the top left corner.
Only 1mm in diameter, but still... not too good after about 10 days of use.
WoW... I hope these are just two isolated cases, or some bad serie...
Believe me, if this happens to mine, it will be the very last time I buy a HTC. You can write my words in stone.
HastaSSSS
Not good news!! I had this same problem with my HTC 3600P... it looked like crap after 6 months... crap black finish rubs off easy.. specially if in a humid country like jamaica.. really really bad news for the diamond! thanks guys.. will keep a close eye on it and try and get a case of it ASAP.

I have also got paint rubbing off both top corners, it's slowly getting worse. Not happy!!! Few weeks old. Any body know a good paint match? Think I could fix it..
Im sure that having your keys and coins in the same pocket with your phone it will get scratched.
Can't make out the corners of mine through the fingerprints even though every night I wipe my fingers on my jeans after my chips! What about proper Indian ink?
I had to something about it on mine...
Fine/Ultra Fine Black Sharpie Permanent Marker has done the job..
...does NOT sound good, I had this problem with my Trinity and it really looked a mess. I hope HTC read this post and maybe.... even say something about it? or would i be dreaming?
some pictures maybe?

Forget the Sharpie people it comes off in 2 days!!...
same has happened to mine, metal finish has worn off on top right corner, have tried permanent marker and also a little tin of humbrol satin black enamel paint which worked the best, but even that rubs off!!! gotta say im dissapointed with the finish of the phone, my touch dual still looks new after 6 months.
Hmm you made me pretty worry
I already ordered my diamond and I'm expecting it within 10 days ... I already ordered Overlay plus for the screen and front buttons and Invisible shield for the back and sides.. I was not planning to apply the invisible shield from day one but after what you guys wrote I think I will...

No paint rubbing off here after 6 weeks.
No paint rubbing off here either and it's thrown in a pocket with no case and has landed on the floor with no damage.

My wife put it in her purse with a bunch of keys, but luckily it is only the screen protector. I can't blame her for the paint however, that was all me.
Playing ball with my Diamond wasn't one of the functions on the phone that I was aware of. Does the G sensor help you hit better?
we need a rubber case!!!
Oh no... this happend to me to my old wizard, but the paint lasted for at least 6 months before scratching. I hope my $700 phone has a good paint Job.
Did you guys notice there is a crack on the upper face of the phone right above the ear speaker and the small camera?
Well the thing is that if you carry your baby around in your pocket then its highly probable that a lot of crud and dirt will get stuck in that little crack.
So cleaning the crack at least once a week with a needle or something would be great maintenance.
Cheers boys.

Ummm - nope! No crack here. None that I can see with my bare eye, at least.
Cant see no crack on mine either...unless your talking about the gap between the body of the phone and the screen??..if so thats normal, every Diamond is like that and i suppose in time it will gather some crud and dirt there but then you can either clean it out or get a case that would cover that part.

Hello everyone.
I noticed my keyboard gets scratched, more on the right side, keys "del", "enter" and "ok".
Does anybody else have the same problem? I'm not using that keyboard a lot, so probably those who use it every day should get even worse results...
A friend of mine doesnt use it much too but got these scratches also...
i got one on the enter key. dont know where i got that one. maybe i got some little dirt whatever stuff in my pocket and it went into the x1 and when you slide it up it does that scratches :/
Holy crap what the heck do you do to your Xperia!!!!?
lol i use mine 24/7 and mine is like brand new except for the battery cover, had mine for a few months too

The most likely reason for this damage to the keyboard is using acetone or maybe even alcohol to clean the keyboard....

Again, I'm almost not using hard keyboard.
I usually keep the phone in front jeans pocket, looks like smth inside scratches it, but i dont wanna disassemble it to find out =)
not only is your x1 scratched but its dirty.
My one is worse!
I will upload some pictures later as I am off out today
What causes this
I use my phone alot but surely it shouldn't happen?

it is not dirty, i tried to remove that, but no luck - those are scratches!
I've got scratches on the windows key and the enter key
Never heard of or saw these types of scratches on the keyboard. Wow.
wash ur fingers before u use it
if u have dust or sand-like stuff on ur hand it will act as a sand paper
and apply less force when sliding ur phone apart
take care
Lol I would never touch your Xperia, it looks ****ing dirty Man, what are you doing with this phone?!? Gardening?
Obviously people don't know how to take care of their stuff. Word of advice, don't have kids.
hey, it looks like a "cracks in the case" case
Manufacturing defect
I don't know what you put in your pockets, but your X1 keyboard looks really dirty (especially with the wood piece under the blue key). I have some dust on my keyboard because it's in my left front jeans pocket the whole day, but this dust just goes away if I blow on the X1. If something don't goes away, use a dry soft tissue, or the humid tissues used to clean camera lenses.
the second pic clearly shows marks that clearly states that your x1 received torture dude, whether it be dropping or rubbing against something rough, it also shows something looking like dirt(mud) including dust on the board surface.
it looks as tho the phone fell many many times whilst the slide was out and possibly dragged on that surface on some kinda object
poetryrocksalot, i have 3 kids ages 6,5,3 lol, and my stuff are in tip top shape
scratches do not appear just like that, its impossible for scratches to appear out of the blue...in other words, your x1 clearly shows bad handling and money wasted on a device that deserves an owner who knows how to care their devices.
the only scratches im gettin is on the battery cover
my x1 got it too but just on the enter button... not as bad as yours but anyway... had mine for 6 or 7 months now... i think i know how the scratches get there and sorry for my swenglish... when i push the i dont know what to call it.. .lets call it the display to reveal the keyboard i put my thumbs on the bottom of the screen and push upwards but at the same time i push it slighty down and therefore i get the scratches try it and you will see how it touches the enter button...
I won't be able to sleep....... ever.......
My touch screen has stopped working in Android. I can navigate with d button but can't use the screen. I've tried re-installing with the lastest nbh and the latest version of warm donut. but still the screen wont' register a touch. occassionally it does if the google search widget is installed. I might flash a windows rom to see if it's a hardware problem. Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!

Try going back to WM and see if it works.
indeed it is hardware
same problem with WM. guess it's time for a new phone. thanks for the responses.
Jumbo, you can still salvage the phone.... try this... take a duct tape and stick one end on the screen and gently lift the other end gently... enough relieve some pressure off the screen ( the digitizer)... keep a contant pressure OFF the screen for about 2-3 mins....
Then try the screen again... see if there is any response...
If that does not work
Get a exacto knife... and gently slide the exacto under the digitizer ( the plastic screen ) its about 1 mm thick... do this from the top and once you are able to grip the top, slowly lift this screen... about half and inch to an inch max from the top while keeping the bottom of the screen stuck because it has a connection you dont want to cut or disconnect otherwise you will have to open the HTC completely... take a clean soft cloth and swipe the inner screen ( dont put too much pressure on the lcd which is the glass screen fixed on the htc ... the digitizer however , which is the plastic screen you lifted off can be cleaned from the inside.
I had an unresponsive one as well and this is what i did and i revived my htc.... otherwise you can buy another digitizer off ebay with the tool but it looks complicated to open...
good luck...
a little disclaimer : dont hold me responsible if you screw up... this worked on mine and i was able to stick back the digitizer in its original place...i used alcohol to clean the inside, because my digitzer was always touching the lcd and it had an oily patch where it touch... must have been sweat or something and because i put it in my back pocket i must have had too much pressure on the screen
Sweet! There's hope! I'd love to have this little phone back and have it take me to the promised land of the HTC EVO. I'll try this out.
It lives!
Turns out taking off the screen protector and simply pulling up a bit on the corner of the lcd screen fixed it. Thanks, QkSi1ver!

if your inner LCD ( the glass one) is not cracked like a glass and you can see the full LCD and that the only symptom is that you cant navigate using the screen, then its just because the digitizer is touching the LCD and screwing up the I/O...
The 2 easy fix is relatively safe and not much is required (Some old Duck Tape & Alcohol).. .than having to buy another digitizer and put it apart... something which i was not comfortable with even if i have the tool .
But as with any tinkering, be careful when you lift it up or put the exacto ( this when i tried it on mine i remember i was crossing my fingers (with my other hand of course ) so that i dont cut anything like wires or contacts underneath because i had no idea what i was getting into... but after doing it i can safely say, you can't screw it up as long as you dont use the exacto at the bottom end of the touch )
You only need the knife to lift it up a little and enough for you to grab it and life the top part up so that you can fit a cotton cloth underneadth to clean the inner side of the LCD and digitzer...
Funny,
I had the same problem after installing Android. Would up returning/swapping my Vogue.
I wonder if Android usage affects this in any way--even indirectly, e.g. Vogues weren't designed to take constant/large/sweeping finger presses, etc.
Any thoughts?

I would like to add that I had to replace my digitizer a few months back and it was actually quite easy to do and the digitizer itself was cheap ($10 on ebay).
Sadly, you are exactly right. No more back pocket, evar! Thanks again, so happy to have a live cell phone again...

You sure? Is it unfixable?
EDIT: I put some duct tape on the screen cover and lifted it up and the oily rectangle went away but comes right back. I'll have to do some cleaning of the screen. Perhaps it is warped but removing the oily substance will help hopefully.
Do you think the speaker grill will pop off in the future? I just realized mine has quite a gap, you can slide a paper in.
But I don't want to resort to warranty since I have already been using it for a month plus, and got stuff working and all.
The grill I have in question is the bottom one.
I don't know how strong the glue supporting the bottom grill is.

the method of heating the grill and clamping it down (was a thread about it somewhere) is probably an option to try. i might try it on mine too since the gaps are getting big..

Dang.. That sounds kind of too much for me. I guess I just gotta put my faith on HTC's glueing process or hopefully it pops off at least before my warranty.
yea..just use superglue..
i use those very liquid glue to stick it back..now its gapless...just apply very very little and its enough..
just wanna avoid the liquid from dripping to the speaker girll..^^

Wow how did you managed to get the glue inside the gap? I mean I know it's quite a gap, but I don't think it's THAT wide to be able to squueze glue in..
Are the gaps really that much of a concern? I have a bit of a gap on the top speaker grill, but I have a case on the phone too. I don't even notice it now. I'm more concerned about the durability of "Gorilla Glass." I've had 3 iPhones now and I've never scratched my screen. I've owned the HTC One for a month and I've got two scratches already...

For me it's more of a durability thing. I'm just afraid it will pop out from the glue losing it's strength in the future.

Well, if you're gonna use instant glue, you're prolly gonna end up sticking your fingers to the thing... so.
It might work if you have someone else hold it upside down and you're REAL careful.
