Looks as if someone over on sprint users is reporting dust under the screen. I had this issue with the hero and it was ultra annoying.

it came with dust or he got dust under it? How do you get dust under the screen on a phone you've had for a week or less?

Clean your house people!!!! JK, first question was serious though.

How the hell do you get dust under the screen?

I saw that over there. I'm going to hold out hope he's making it up since it was his first post. but i saw he posted the same thing over on a htc forum as his first post as well. regardless, dust under the screen would NOT be good on a phone this popular.

anyone else have this issue? ugh, now i'm thinking of my q9c days where dust would find its way under the screen.

the q9c got dust probably from keeping the phone in pockets and having silicone gel covers that attracted dust

I dont know exactly HOW it happens but it was a really widespread problem with the hero. I had 2 replaced as a result of it. When the screen is dark you could just see a ton of it sitting in there.

From what I know as an owner of these phones, they are not air tight. You open your battery cover and let the dust in, it will eventually get in there. As well as right through the spaces, especially if you frequent you phone in your lint filled pocket..

Something to consider as we handle our phones daily. Thanks for the heads up. Now I'll go out of my way to ensure no dust gets in there. Hopefully it's not too big a problem.

No biggie, I'm sure Sprint/HTC will replace it for free under the warranty.

i'll be irritated as hell if this happens. I was happy to ditch the hero because of this. Weird cuz it never happened on my tp or tp2...I can blame it on htc because those 2 didn't get anything under the screen....why my hero and better not be my new evo... grrr.. Quality Control.
