Capacitive button lights uneven?

[mike2518]

On my newly exchanged sensation, I have noticed that the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone are not evenly lit up. The home button is slightly brighter than the the menu button. Also the search button is a little brighter than the back button. My first unit that I returned cause of battery issues had perfect , even lighting on all four buttons. Also, on this unit, it makes a creaking noise when I press the screen on three bottom left side. I might return this one also.

Has anyone noticed the same uneven button lighting on their phone?

Yeah, the menu and back are lighter, but very minimal.

Yup. I know from reading at the thunderbolt forums that htc used 2 LEDs to light up the four buttons and they had the same issue so this maybe the case also. Anyone else with the same issue?

You better take it back. Make sure to explain that your lights are uneven.

Ya, I should do it, especially since it also has that lower right screen creak/click thing going on . This whole experience has not been that great. I mean, I love the device but would love to have 1 great unit free of these defects. Then I will truly enjoy this masterpiece!

I'm not saying it isn't an issue. but of all the issues i've seen so far, if when I get mine this is all it suffers with I'd be happy. Not too sure about the creak tho, that would be a bit off putting. HTC are normally good built quality, so a creak would be annoying.

There have been a fair few faults with this device so far, but it does seem that none of them are affecting all handsets, so hopefully there aren't any major faults going on

I think I see what you mean OP about the uneven backlit keys. For my device its minimal and you can barely notice it. I do however have light leaking from the seam next to the left of the home button. Does anyone else have this?

Same for me, very minimal. I think it's the same for all of us, actually I hadn't noticed it until I read your post and had a careful look at it.

But your creaking noise, if not coming from the back cover not completly locked correctly, so coming from the screen itself, is more worrying, your screen must be badly stuck, like for some people on the forum, so you should take it back
(see if dust is coming under the screen in the creaking area)

I also have the light leaking but it is on the other side beside the search key. It is very tiny so it doesn't bother me at all. I think I will keep this rather than exchange it for another problem.

I also have the light leaking from the seam near the home button. At first it looked like a glare, but it's obviously a crack where the light is leaking through. It's bothersome to me (my annoyance is increasing) and I think I'm planning on returning (exchanging) the phone. it's concerning to me, because I don't really know where that opening goes, i.e. where will the dust, sweat, lint, etc. migrate to once it inevitably gets inside there. Of course, everything else seems ok for now, so I wonder what other problems I'll get with a new unit.

Mine doesn't have any dust under the screen so far. Let us know if your new unit will be perfect or will have other problems.

Yea, i just came back from Walmart. I returned the second unit , couldnt deal with it, and ordered a new one from T-mobile on a new two year contract. They offered me an early full upgrade (9 months early) with a new contract. Final price 200
I'm happy. Let's hope the has perfect build when it arrives early next week.
