Well, I just ordered a G2 on ebay (YAY!) and I'm not kidding, last night I had trouble sleeping because I am very very worried about a loose hinge. I got this thing off contract AKA expensive and I want it to be perfect.
anyway, my question is as follows, was the loose hinge actually a common problem? or was it only blown up on the forums? I live in Israel where it will be very very hard to replace it if it is defective.
No, people just complain.
Just like when its cold, people want summer. When its hot people want winter.
Its easy to open, people want it tough and firm. When its tough and hard to open, people want it "like the g2". I had the same feeling, its over rated.
I'm talking about the hinge just popping open or closed at weird angles...it would be especially bad for someone like me who texts a lot in bed (and play old gameboy ROMS =])

It's not really weird angles, it's only when you hold the phone upside down. Then, the forces of gravity kind of open it for you (or close it, if it's already open). Otherwise, the hinge is perfectly stable, tight and functional. As I've said in other discussions like this one, I've held my phone buy the top piece and shaken it and it has not affected the opening or closing mechanism at all.
Rest easy, you're getting a badass phone lol.

he tells the truth lol
Lol, so like 45 degree angle is cool? even for those really loose ones from launch day? that literally just pop the F*ck open
It's not really a big thing. Just use your index fingers to hold up the screen, you type with your thumbs anyways. I thought it was a natural habit, but I guess not judging from all those people who complain.
I'm 100% convinced that the "loose" hinge is the way the phone was designed. Problem is, it's not what people expected, so it gets called a defect. Got to love the internet sometimes....
I'm on my third G2 (not because of the hinge) and all of them have opened and closed exactly the same, regardless of part number.
Your phone will be fine, enjoy it. It's a great phone.
the hinge is fine, just use it the way its supposed to be used and you'll be okay.
Thank's yall, the worst part about this whole thing is that I had to get it shipped to my parents house in TN and I gotta wait for a friend of mine who is visiting the holy land on the 22nd to bring it to me.
my screen doesn't slide down, even though I prop the phone up at a 180 degree angle. I think I am one of the few lucky ones with a tight hinge. I've seen some vids where even at a 45 degree angel the screen slides back close.
I like things tight, and I'm glad I added this phone to my collection, along with my girlfriend.

Well played my good man.
It's one of those things where if you see the video on youtube and then go out of your way to hold the phone in that one way that will make it do this, then, yes, it closes/opens.
It's not a bug, HTC would tell you "FAD". No, not "F-off and die", "functions as designed"
In normal use I've never had any issues.
Including in bed during the marathon session of Angry birds or gameboid (advance wars!) when I should have been sleeping

Not an issue for me, but it can be an issue for those who use a holster. When pulling the phone out, you would have to make sure you grab both halves or it may slide open. You could lose your grip on the phone and drop it.
Basically, using a holster may force you to hold the phone in that youtube way. Meaning some people my experience it day to day in regular use.
I personally solved it the Steve Jobs way. I took the little black rubber band that is included around both the headset and usb cable and wrapped it over the trackpad. Boom.

there's actually a tear down guide on here about how to make the hinge tighter but it voids warranty and what not. I'd try it myself if I had a torx 6 screw driver.

I want to try this but my rubberband "trick" does me ok lol. I would love a tight hinge to get rid of my rubberband, but not quite enough to further void my warrenty. I already rooted and Romed, but that's reversible. Taking the phone apart isn't. I'm fully capable of accomplishing it though.

Damn you! I never noticed mine until you brought it up (since 26 Oct). I can swear that it wasn't there before, so it must be contagious! This thread should be deleted before it spreads
On the serios side - I think all DHDs have that.
Yep mine has is too, i hadn't noticed either, i wouldn't worry about it, its supposed to be like that
Well thank god I guess then. Sorry I had to bring it up to all of you lol. Already unpeeled my Zagg shield so there goes £18 I'll never see again.
Thanks for your replies!
Ok, this is the last time i'll read threads like this. I didn't notice it before now.. Damn you OP, haha
But meh, i don't care, can't really see it. Heck, it took me three weeks to notice it, and not by me.

Right... Some has it, others dont. Just like many other things with this phone...
*checks my DHD*
Mine dont have the lump
When I look at mine from a certain angle I can see a little gradient like in the picture, but it's meant to be like that as it fits the contours of the phone. I can't feel a lump at all.
Oh well, im not gonna bother shipping it back. Since I no longer have the invisibleSHIELD (which I failed with big-time, hardest applying of anything I've ever tried) I instead ordered a Martin Fields for the front and lens, and an Otterbox (OMG £28) for the back. And with that being on the back, no ones gonna be able to see the SQUARE LUMP anyway!
Oh, and just in case im gonna fail with Martin Fields aswell, I bought another 10 protectors for just £5! Wish I'd of know about that before I invested in the overpriced range!
I noticed it before i bought the phone, in the store. Its just flexing its muscles..

I took it to the surgeon who removed it for me
Seriously, no lump issue, or at least not perceived in that way
I was contacted to give my thought on this case..and well here they are.
The case is very well made. Its like a rubber build and it feels really good. Its got good grip on it. So good that sometimes i cant take it out of my pants pocket. It doesnt really get to hot even when the phone is hot. It has power and volume buttons build into the case so it makes it easier to lock and unlock the phone,as well as turn up the volume. I really like it. And the price is only 17 bucks. I say its worth it. It fits like a glove and doesnt cover any of the microphones either.

I got a case similar to this that has that same strip underneath the earpiece speaker. I've found it hard to drag down the notification bar when cases have one of these.

I disagree with the notification bar dragging issue. I have the ringke case and think it's fantastic. The feel is a little different than I was expecting, but overall I'm very satisfied. It was only $10 with a coupon I found online.
Yeah i can see where that could be a problem but it hasnt really bothered me.
Again
I have posted this previously:
The strip under the earspeaker covers the light sensor, therefore, while on calls, the screen will not turn off automatically.
I contacted Ringke about this a couple of months ago. They responded right away, and informed me they would look into it. I have never heard back from them since.
I went ahead and cut the piece off. It is structurally useless.
One benefit of keeping the strip might be that the lights on the soft-keys at the bottom of the bolt always stay lit when the screen is on.
Other than that, it is a nice case and fits the bolt well. My only other gripe is that the sides are not as sturdy as on the same case for the itouch.

I haven't experienced any issues w/ the

I contacted support and asked if they would
be producing a similar case to fit the extended

then I would go ahead and jump for the extended

I worked hard on making that video for you.
And just to let you know, your ad hominem argument is an improper use of the Latin phrase. If you may have noticed, I stated that I have no issues with the screen not turning off and then proceeded to bash you and your Apple fanboy. I wasn't trying to undermine your statement by directly attacking you. My statement simply concluded that I think you're wrong based on my experience with the case.
Regardless, I laugh at you for thinking I work for Ringke or received a free case. Please note, I would never accept a job as a blue-collar worker.

To others reading this, please do not click on the link. This member has decided to spam people.
You are quite IMMATURE.
As I previously stated, I am not an apple fanchild. I use an ipod touch as the organization I work for uses apple based products to run their medical software.
Also, if you check the other forums (as I previously informed you), you will see that all of my self-purchased electronics are android based (Xoom, DINC2, OGDROID, Thunderbolt).
Finally, you most certainly did employ ad-hominem. It is a fallacy of relevance. It is any kind of argument that criticizes an idea by pointing something out about the people who hold the idea rather than directly addressing the merits of the idea. As you admitted, you attacked me personally in order to discredit my point about the case, rather than prove your point.
Go back to school, and learn to be respectful and kind to others. Shame on you.

Of course I had to pull the battery due to a crash after only 5 days use!
Oddly it said "updating" on reboot .. but didn't!
ummm.... it'll say that every time you turn it on dear
you slide the bottom third of the cover on and snap the rest of it on, making sure the bottom is sitting nicely then snap the rest on
the verizon cover is pretty trashy. it's like the only of bad quality on the phone. seriously like $.50 of materials.
is the original this crappy? we got the cheapo verizon branding hijacked one. it's so sad, the phone doesn't even say google on it.

Who cares what it says?
Yes, the cover is thin. Yes it feels like it's barely made out of anything.
But physically, the thing will never snap on you (not talking about the contact points here).
Don't believe me? Bend the thing a few times, all the way back, end to end. Twist it. It "forms" back into proper shape 100 percent of the time. This is why they marketed it as "hyperskin" Now, I'm sure there is a limit to how much it can bend and return to normal, but tell me what other battery door can you do that with other than the GSII and GNex models, and it won't snap on you?
EDIT: I'll also add that, while some of the GSM versions are looking like they have Samsung made builds and won't be supported in the AOSP, the Verizon model has a Google build and WILL be fully supported in AOSP. Ironic that everyone is complaining about a device for not saying "Google" on the battery cover but is actually more "Google" than some of the unlocked, regional versions.
My battery cover had a crushed clip and made the battery cover lift.
Make sure each individual clip around isn't crushed.

I've owned my Galaxy SIII for almost three months now and it probably has the most defects out of any phone I've ever owned. The hardware buttons are loose, the back cover doesn't stay down on all the corners, and the back cover came with hairline cracks already on it. However, the final thing that really made me consider getting a replacement is the fact that the back cover doesn't even hold the battery in all the time. When I set my phone down on a hard surface without being extra gentle, the phone turns off. I temporarily solved this by putting a folded up piece of paper under the battery cover to keep the battery in better, but I don't think this should be necessary for a $200 flagship phone. I'm already over the 30 day return period, but would these reasons qualify for me getting a replacement phone under warranty?
I have 0 defects. My phone costed 549
Anyways call sammy and send it in for warranty
Yea I'd get a new one I paid $649 for mine and its perfect no problems at all!

Sorry for being blatantly sarcastic but loose buttons, cover not seating properly, battery falling out, and cracks? Obviously it was damaged. Before you got it. Pretty sure I'd return a TV with a cracked screen right away before stating it was the worst build quality of any TV ever due to dead pixels and screen flickers and the picture going wonky.

Since you're pass the warranty buy a new back cover or a case like an Otter commuter, it will keep the battery and button in place...btw still dont get why you didn't exchange it if it came with a cracked back. Lets see pictures of all these defects!
Wow, I did a COMPETE work over on my phone when I was getting it, checked EVERYTHING, the sales rep was getting a little agitated, but I ask her, if she were spending $500+ on a phone wouldn't you check everything? She shut her pie hole quick, and had her get another one once. Oh well.
Unlike some of you, I actually have enough hand-eye coordination skills to keep my phone in my hand. Cases are bulky and for the clumsy. I am still under the one year warranty and the hairline cracks are only visible from one specific angle. They're really not bad defects, but they just add up and get annoying. I'm only asking if this is worth getting my phone replaced because I don't want to restore to stock for no reason.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
....... again..... if it had these defects.... and they've "added up" to become annoying.... why exactly did you decide to wait 3 months to try to do anything about it?
And if you think that cases are "bulky and for the clumsy"... then the only cases you must see anywhere are OtterBox Defenders and such. Did you ever hear of TPU? next to no bulk added to the phone (about as thick as a DVD... roughly), and gives the phone a bit nicer feel in the hand. Plus makes it a LOT less slippery than with no case at all. I've never dropped a phone either, but i'm not the type that's willing to risk the off chance that something DOES happen that a little bit nicer grip could have prevented.
The only "issue" (if you can even call it that) that i have with my phone that you are also experiencing is the loose volume/power button... which i'm pretty sure EVERYONE is experiencing. They aren't screwed into the phone in any way. They are slotted in, as they are for just about every phone. Yes, they're slightly loose, but it's not like they're ever going to just up and fall out of the phone.
At this point i'm tempted to ask if the hairline cracks you speak of are actual cracks or if you're just seeing the brushed finish of the back of the phone (assuming you have the Pebble Blue)
Still... why did you wait 3 months? Especially with the battery issue and such. I can toss my phone onto my bed, cover or no cover, and it doesn't shut off cause the battery popped out of place.
I've worked in the wireless industry for over 10 years I've yet to see anyone keep a phone out of the box with parts literally falling off and out of the phone. Hell I've never seen that at all for that matter. I can guarantee you've dropped that phone and I doubt that stuff happened out of the box. You may be in the on year warranty but if it has that sort of physical damage good luck getting it replaced.

Okay, so, I found out the hard way that even with a hard-shell-back case on the S4, it is very much NOT pocket friendly. Last week (5 days ago), I put my S4 (which i've babied from day 1 and looks brand freakin' new), pull it out of my pocket 5 minutes later to a dead screen. After some fiddling by taking everything out and plugging it back in, I found the screen kind of came back but failed again shortly after that. The S4 felt light to begin with, I didn't think there's a shred of metal anywhere in the device to provide a supportive internal structure to keep things from bending in a way they shouldn't (one of the reasons I bought the case at T-Mo's 80% markup)... After calling in to claim on my warranty (this thing is 6 months old), I brought it into a store and spoke with a rep who said it looked perfect otherwise, brand new, however he confirmed my suspicions that they're only plastic framed. This design is great for many reasons, weight being one, but horrible for things such as pockets, imagine if I had sat down in a car with it in my pocket instead of just walking down the stairs at work and using a urinal... the thing would have been obliterated, even in it's hard-back case. Wanted to get out there and find out if anyone else has had some issues with the S4 and pocket incidents.
To note, I have a random replacement device coming back because they didn't have an S4 on back-back-order and decided rather than to make me wait, they just shipped something android to me, probably not an S4, and if it is, it's black, which I will promptly return because I live in Arizona and black is the worst idea for a color of anything out here unless you want it to be hotter than hell when you touch it. Let's hope they got me something good, not HTC, and not black, I suspect I'm gonna lose this roulette and be stuck with this awful HTC HD7 (WinPhone7, fml) for a while, while I go back and forth with T-Mo to get my replacement android device.
No problems whatsoever with keeping my S4 in my pocket.

I read the other thread on this subject in the I9505/I9500 forums... No one asked this question, what is your BMI (weight (lbs) divided by height (inches) squared multiplied by 703)? Just curious. Mine is 26.4 (considered overweight, can't argue with belly pudge), I wear skinny to straight pants, rocking a Neo Hybrid case - no issues or concerns (aside from the occasional stretch-out-leg-while-sitting-to-pull-phone-out issue). I walk up and down roughly 20 flights of stairs a day, use the urinal 3-4xs, and generally go about my day with my primary device damage concern coming from placing my keys in same pocket and droppage.

Smartass... they're kind of tight around the waist because I've put some weight on, however, they're not tight at the crotch, the pockets are a little tight, but I can get my hands in and out of the pockets with my wallet (much fatter than the phone) and the phone no problem before. I only had my phone on me at that time though.
TASL: Your BMI calculations, put them into mathematic notation, I'm trying to make sense of your phrasing and every number I come up with is either friggin tiny as hell and wrong, or is insanely high and completely wrong (cause I'm not the size of the damned planet...) Give me actual mathematical notation to follow so I can give you a number damnit.
BMI formula: (We[lbs] / (He[inches]^2)) * 703 = 35.95 -- I am overweight, but I'm not friggin obese, I can run, I can jump, I can climb, hell I can chase a city bus down for a quarter mile without too much trouble, I may be out of breath, but I'm not dying. These BMI calculations do not take into account where the weight is or how it's distributed. My doctors have told me I'm overweight for my build, but not by much, right now 50lbs, when I went in, I was only 25-30 over.

Ugh... Sarcasm does not transmit well through text. "Smartass..." was sarcastic, beyond that I was explaining the situation and that my shorts should not be the problem.

i was referring to skinny jeans lol im not that in shape myself
Actually this is kind of what happened to mine, only mine bent the frame along with the busted screen. Mind you this was a hot day and this particular car's A/C (1997 Saturn SL2) is slow to work on hot days (although it feels fine when it's warm but not humid). no more than 15 minutes in my pocket, *break*. of course I had my wallet next to mine.
I have mine in the Leather flip book case and its stable and durable enough to last in my pocket. i have had a slight issue with pocket dialing though, but probably because im not shutting off the screen before closing the case and putting it away.

I've kept mine in my pocket for 3 months and have had no problem with it, other than it falls out of my pocket occasionally when I'm in the car.
Mine always wants to turn on its side in my pocket and sit horizontal instead of vertical... That's annoying.
