There is a clicking sound when i tap the left side of the screen (in the center). There seems to be nothing wrong with the screen. Seems to be in place. Is it normal?
It reminds me of the common problem that the nexus 7 has.

There's nothing we can do. All the gnex do this. Just some type of bug or quirk.
This is strange, I read about this hardware flaw in GNex only in this thread. I searched all over the Internet about it and found nothing.
Thought that maybe only my GNex have this flaw.
It's interesting how many Nexuses have this bug.
And maybe it's worth to mention it in some FAQ or something like that?..
The Gnex has allot of problems

I'm sorry but i dont understand what you are saying. If you believe from what i said that this is a software problem, well it is not ! This creaking sound i can hear is not some software bug, it's hardware .
I did find that if i press the creaky spot then it stops doing this sound for some time.Then it starts again ! Maybe it's a glue issue or something ?

I think it's definitely glue issue, looks like glass unglued from LCD/digitizer part. But I wonder, why does it produce this 'click' sound then?..
I also mentioned that sometimes it doesn't click. Later it start again. Maybe someone with this problem try the rice bag, maybe it helps somehow?
After a week of this clicking, I've nervously sold my Nexus. I will never buy anything from Samsung. It's build quality is just awful, and, as I see, with this rare bug it's also unpredictable.
Does samsung service accept this as a problem ? Did anyone try to send it to them ?
It must be just some of the GNex's my I9250 doesn't do that.

We all got new devices recently, wife has a tablet also so she has not been on my case lately but Im still using a SGS.
Take it from a guy married for several years. Set up a date night really soon and dont touch your phone the whole time. Big time points to be earned!
Was it you or her that put the phone screen side down?
The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?
this is what the new one looks like

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.
I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.
another defect i suppose
I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!
BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

As you can see there are some strange dark layers on the screen (left side and in the middle).
Can anyone let me know how this can be fixed?
My phone is not under warranty so no option of replacement.
AW: Display Issues - Layers
It's something like a "amoled" feature. My gnex has the keyboard visible on a white background. Someone made an app that turned the brightness to 100% on a white background, that fixed it for some days/months.

My friend's nexus doesn't have it.

you cannot fix your issue with software. END OF STORY.
you can do a replacement, but you would have to pay for it. either pay someone to do it, or replace it yourself.

it might. you also might get another bad screen.
no idea. amazon/ebay would be a good place to start for the screen by itself.
Hey. You have a screen burn. Try and get the screen replaced from a gray market shop. This is an issue with AMOLED screens. If you keep something on for too long, it creates an image burn on the screen.
I just got this thing yesterday from eBay, refurbished from Asus for $209 (32gb) and one of the first things I noticed was a small protrusion from above the microphone jack. Here's my dilemma, I'm really into my electronics looking perfect although I know over time they will have little problems. But is this something to worry about or me just being anal?
I have the opportunity to get it exchanged but it would take a several days and besides being anal I'm not patient.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it's definitely not something that's supposed to be there - I just checked my tablet and it doesn't have that slight lump. The only thing it might possible interfere with would be headphones, and even then there's a really slim chance. Pop in some headphones and see if they work - if they do, there should be no other problems.

I just tested out the headphone jack and it works just fine. So basically it's just an aesthetic issue at this point.
Is it worth going through an exchange for though? Part of me feels as if it has this problem there is a chance it might have others.

For another device I would tell you to get a new one.
But for this tablet...
If you can't find any other issue (dead pixels, random reboot, touchscreen issues grounded or not, etc) you should keep it. The next one could be OK aesthetically but have other problems.

"Yet Another MultiTouch Test" from the play store is a good way to test multi-touch.
If the tablet is in a perfect electrical shape, I would simply keep it. Check the display for dead or stuck pixels, dirt or light bleeding ( though I don´t have anything against it ) and multitouch issues. If the device is usable, I would rather keep it and don´t bother about this dent. The guy who has opened the device before seems to have two left hands though...
its evident that it may have been opened (not sure for what). but as mentioned above, if all works great, no issues at all, just use and enjoy it. other units have issues, and risky to get those to replace a perfectly good one (aside from that bump).

Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Got the Note 10+ at launch. It's AT&T. A few weeks ago the camera would do as shown above in the camera app, banking apps (check cashing), 3rd party camera apps, everywhere. The only fix is to zoom out to 0.5-0.9x and use the wide angle camera. It will malfunction in video mode as well. As a last resort effort I just flashed the unlocked firmware to the phone and it still has this issue. There have been no hard drops, extreme temperature swings, or power surges that I know of while connected to a charger. Sometimes the camera will give me a few seconds to take the picture without bugging out, but usually it starts off grainy and unusable, forcing me to use wide angle. The selfie camera is fine. Thanks in advance for your time!

Flash back to the original rom and do a warranty exchange......assume you're paying for warranty coverage. Well in any case it would fall under the 1 year hardware/manufacturer fault anyway.
And by the way, the earlier in the life cycle that you claim the better chance you have of getting back a good device and not one that's scratched up or burnt out battery.
