How do you know if you're phone is a prototype or a real production model? I'm just curious.
a prototype will say prototype under the battery
as for the excalibur specifically, the FN buttons are green instead of blue

The function keys are GREEN.

Does anyone else have something similar to this?
Without the backlight, the J key looks perfectly normal, just like the others. When lit however, it is noticeably yellow compared to the others.
I thought at first I got the key dirty somehow, but after trying to clean it repeatedly, then seeing it not backlit, I have come to the conclusion that it's the actual backlight.
Doesn't really bother me, but it does stand out, especially now that I look there first whenever I open my keyboard.
I dont have that on my keyboard everything shows the same amount if light and same whiteish color
Maybe someone in China peed on the keyboard....
Can youh posyt a pic? I think all of my keys are "yellow"

Picture of yellow "J"
Well, here's the picture.
Sorry if the quality is kinda of bad. Had to do it in low lighting so it can be seen well, and I took the picture from my old G1
So this is what it looks like. Let me know what you think!

Well, that's not good news.
Hmm, I don't think it's really worth me taking it back to T-Mobile for. I'm still under my buyer's remorse. I already took 1 back, but then again, it sucks that I have this problem in the first place.
It looks normal when not lit, so I didn't get something on it. Like I said, not sure if it's even worth taking back to the store.
to say the truth, i lol'd when i saw the picture, it looks like someone pissed inside the phone in the factory LOL, or a drop of piss XD
Well the "J" is one of the keys with the little tactile nub on it...is the "F" key the same way?
Nope. The F key is the same as the others.

Yup..... Some China dude has a grudge against America... He must be mad that Snao-On-Tools are still make in the USA.
The keys near the F key look a little yellowish as well.
My guess would be the keyboard backlighting has a bad LED; maybe it uses multiple LEDs to generate the white backlight and the blue LED died?
Anyone have a G2 disassembly link so we could see?

Those my dear friend are the buttons which are pressed by the upper L and R keys....see carefully...
I mean directly behind the stickers, not on top, the thing that is covered in a electrical tape type square sticker, i assume the trigger buttons aren't keep in place by stickers so i think this is something else. And if they are the l and r buttons, i want to know why they got a black sticker (what thet stickers are covering).
Does anyone knows.
Is there a screw begind the stikers, holdding the l and r buttons hardware?

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC One V and I noticed that the LED light below the capacitive home button is leaking, even when viewed on a normal angle.
The other capacitive buttons does this as well but only at an extreme angle.
Any of you experiencing this?
TIA!
unit replaced

I just had my unit replaced. No more light leak below the capacitive home button.
I wanted to post images of it, but I need 8 posts to be able to do so.
Anyhow, buyers might want to check the unit first by covering the light sensor on top (to make the capacitive buttons glow).
Thanks for the views XDA people.
I want to make the capacitive lights bright in daylight also, how do I do that?
hey!
guess what? i had the same EXACT problem, except the leak under my multitask button was visible at even normal view. hopefully i'll get my device replaced by a new one tomorrow too.
what did the guys say to you btw? like what all did they ask? just keen to know!
thanks!

I just showed them the unit. They really didn't say anything nor did they argue. Although I did struggle as the store's lights were very bright, so I had to go under a desk just to be able to show it to them (a bit awkward I have to say).
We had to compare with a new unit and it didn't have the light leak below the home button; but when I got home I noticed that it had the leak somewhere else (it looks like a hot pixel, but when you look at it, it's not really part of the screen but in between the glass and the LCD, which is weird). Will go back tomorrow for another replacement.
I guess if you're getting a replacement, try it immediately at a dark place / room to check for light leaks.
i got my unit replaced today!
no more defects anymore, i checked everything before getting home..
how bout you?

The store only had three units on stock.
First and second one both have light leaks, and the third one had yellow spots on the upper left part of the screen + a silvery dot inside the screen sandwiched between the glass also on the upper left corner.
I cancelled my purchase and decided to just buy again when they have sufficient stock of units without defects, or maybe once screen protectors and cases become readily available from retailers.
sir can I know where did you buy One V? I'll buy one this May..just in case..don't end up there
is the attached screenshot below a white leak??
the white leak is very visible on a black background at the bottom of the screen, also the top of the screen has little white leak too.
should i replace this one to the store?

I can find the light leak on mine (in the USB port) in the dark if I'm looking at the phone from beneath it. I suppose some people use their phones that way a lot!
That's so the dust can get in. I think its normal. I have light leak as well in the same spots.

Hi all
I just bought a used HTC 10 gold but the home capacity button is black. Is it possible that it was replaced by another phone?
The black button is working perfectly btw
And one more thing, when press hard this 'button' moves a little. Is this normal?
Thanks for your time
Sounds like it have been replaced, the home button doesn't move at all, i Got a gold one and its front its all white.

I think the phone had the home button / fingerprint scanner replaced.
Does the fingerprint scanner work properly?
I too have a Gold HTC 10, and the front is all white.

It actually looks good haha. The button is not supposed to move though.
Yes its strange but it works
I've read posts about the button being a bit loose, and it pushing it on the left side, IIRC.
If I can find the thread I will edit this post.
It's hard to tell but it looks like the button is above, like a samsung button. (prob just the pic)
P.S. I like the black look.
Does the button have a silver trim? If so i would suggest it's a Samsung button. Looking at the picture it does seem to have a silver trim. Doe the finger print scanner work?

Two of them, bought the same day, hardware never messed with.
Something wrong with Tapatalk, I can't upload pics directly, so linls are in the post
I take it the trim is on the shell of the phone rather than the button itself
The button only move/loose when pressed hard. But normal use we dont press on it so its Ok.
The only thing is its color is different w the surface. And it bugs my eye LOL
As I remember only the black front don't have silver trim

I just managed to contact the original guy of this phone. He said the home button was scratch. Qnd ugly So he shaved it. The result is shownef in picture. Is it possible to do so?
Always on display? Notification led?
No AOD it's LCD so it'll eat power
There's a notification led but it's impossible to see when the phone is on a table.

Why? Is it buried inside the top speaker screen? Can you only see it when holding up and looking straight into it?

Yeah, it's under the grill, next to the FFC.
It's hard to see unless you're looking at it straight on because it's miniscule. With it being behind the grill blocks the view beyond a very narrow field of vision.
