Hi,
Some time after buying my gnex it was charging on my computer desk with the USB hooked up, the cable got tangled in my chair and when I went to get the door, it slingled the phone across the room.
Luckily I couldn't detect any visual or functional defect, but after a while I noticed that if I apply some pressure to the lower left part of the device, on the screen, there is like a creaking noise, as if I can move the screen around a fraction of a mm inside the housing. I can also flex the screen when applying pressure on the top right of the screen where the front facing camera is.
Probably happened from the fall or do others have this?
I also have this very rare graphics glitch, when swiping homescreens, only happens when going from one particular homescreen with gmail widget to the one with the calendar widgt, there is like a tear in it, only lasts for a split second.
Sounds like the screen got loose when it flung across the room I don't have that issue with mine call for a replacement say its been like that since day 1

ok soo i dropped my Tilt 2 from a standing point (which is about 5 and a half feet since im 5'9) with the phones keyboard open and screens tilted, whats funny is that no battery fell out or anything, it just shuts off, i had to turn it back on.
when i shaked the phone i heard a slight rattle and i reckon its from the Flex Cable from the LCD screen, the rattle stops when i have my Tilt 2s keyboard open, but when i tilt the screen i can hear it slightly...is that normal?
also what is going to aggravate me for the rest of the time im going to own this phone is that when im using the phone's software keyboard on portrait at say like a 15 degree angle i can hear taps which is quite annoying but if i hold it at a 45 degree angle it stops, i turned the phone to the side i notice a gap, not a big one and not really noticeable but id say its roughly .5mm thick, i push the screen down and the gap gets smaller, is normal as well?
plz let me know thnx a lot
short answer.... no.... not normal. You knocked something loose inside hence the rattle, WHICH you probably already knew The gap, also not normal. Well wait.. I should correct myself. This is all probably totally normal for people who have dropped their phone. You're lucky you didn't crack your screen or do more damage and the phone's still usable!

hmm, well i talked to one Tilt 2 owner and he said he has that rattle and he hasnt dropped it? but like i mentioned, the rattle must be coming from that Flex cable that goes between the motherboard and the LCD screen....
No rattle and no gap on mine, but I've only had it 5 days. Give me time.
I have rattle too, but i think its the G-Sensor !

i did a couple of searches on PPC and some say its a normal thing especially in the tilted position? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=87452 at least im not the only one! i just have OCD xD
heres a video of the screen problem im having
but its not as worse as his but you guys get the point
I just dropped my phone yesterday with keyboard out and tilted and I got a similar problem to this. My screen only has a gap when I pull it up, which I wasn't able to do before, but the screen slide is now about 1 or 2 cm's to the left causing it not to line up with the keyboard slide. Somewhat aggravating, but totally unnoticable unless your holding the phone. I don't get any rattle though...

well if i were to dismantle the phone and repair the little bridge that goes across the back of the LCD screen would that solve the issue? because it seems when i push on it it seems to fill a gap but idk if thats what causing the whole screen and kb issue but im going to do it when i have the chance
I have a tilt and mines exacly like the one in the video with the vary small gap and the screen wobble, I always assumed it was normal, mine dosent rattle though
that little gap and the screen wobble.
it just because is got movable parts, look at the screen hinges if i can call them that.
its the reason i didnt want to get mine, ive always chose candy bar phones so i dont worry about that.
but i did get me a tilt 2 and have dropped it too, i also think my wobbly screen started after i dropped it, but ive had it a year, since it first came out. the only thing i hate reall bad about this phone it the lack of a headphone jack I HATE THAT WITH A PASSION.
Hello,
I have a problem with the screen of my HOX. the top of the screen is a little bit detachable, like the glue doesn't work anymore. i can push it back but it still sticks like 1 millimetre out of the frame. this has been going on for a while without any problems, until now. around the middle of my screen ( a little bit lower then the micro usb plug ), the screen doesn't react to touches anymore, but it still displays like normal. it is only in the middle area, the top and bottom area of the screen functions normal. anyone has the same problem, or a solution?
Do you still have warranty? If it hasn't any marks of being dropped, you could give it a try.
My HTC One (M8) started to have flickering screen issues a few days back, sometimes the screen wouldn't turn on, occasionally it would turn on, but it was barely noticeable, because the backlight didn't turn on. I realized that slightly bending (no extreme force, of course) would influence the behavior: Top left, bottom right as pressure points makes the screen work, top right, bottom left makes it stop working. Similarly applying pressure on the sides (the middle of the lower half, roughly) makes the screen not work. It looks like it might just be a loose connection somewhere? Anybody have a tip for what to do about it?
And now the screen doesn't turn on at all anymore. I guess that was expected. I googled around a bit and it seems like the company doing repairs for HTC in Austria is shady and known for blaming things on mechanical or water damage (the phone fell down, but that was about six month ago, and except for a few scratches on the metal nothing happened).
Does anyone have an idea if this might just be a loose contact somewhere that I could fix by myself?
Hi, since I got up this morning the screen of my Note 10.1 has a white halo on it.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? New screens sadly cost double what a used note 10.1 would cost, but maybe its just a loose connector?
Its flickering and getting worse the more contrast it has to display.
Anyone have seen something like this before
That must be a mechanical defect. Probably someone sat or laid in the Note. One of the two glass plates or the rear polarizer have been bent in a concave ir convex shape.
Can also be caused by excessive heat, like on the small lcd in my car dashboard, where a similar phenomenon has started to occur more and more often and in a more severe manner recently, caused by sun exposure and the car's heater and disapperaing when cooling down.
Or delamination of the gapless touchscreen. Now there is a gap on the outsides.
Thx for the reply. I have the tablet hanging on the wall, using it as an interface for my home assistant, so the screen is on pretty much 24/7.
Therefore i can't really imagine that there was too much pressure on the screen at any time and heating up could've maybe happened if it locked up during the night, but that hasn't really happend ever and in the morining it was running just normal, except for the screen. The sun can't really get to it either.
Well good thing is the problem fixed itself. The affected area started getting smaller and smaller and the effect also lessend over time. About 2-3 days it took.
Maybe there was some moisture inside it or something idk
Something had snapped or bent from and then back into shape.
I'd suggest that it was heat related, bootlooping while charging,probably.
I could trace such with the history of my battery monitor app(complete with temps and for as long as i set the the range), but the course graph of the system battery monitor could have have provided hints, too. But that's long gone now.
My very first Android device was a tablet, that once too many went into a bootloop. During charging AND during the time of the exploding Galaxy Notes. The whole surface (metal and glass) had the same temperature, no more hotspots, and was almost too hot to touch(50c at least).
I'm not sure whether the screen was discolored, there was only the small boot logo on black, but i immediately threw the thing into the bin outside, display still glowing in the dark.
This is really dangerous when the device is connected to the mains and the surroundings not fire resistant.
In the meantime the battery of my P605 started to blow up.
Middle of backside and even touchscreen are bent outwards.
But the display is still fine, though this kind of malfunction could happen to me later.
Will get a replacement battery. The original one from 2013 still has more than 50% capacity, but is much thicker now...
Hi guys,
I have got a fold 3 but when I open it up it seems to be at about 175 degree rather than 180. If I look down the line along the top of the phone when open with one eye I can see it slightly bend off. Should the device open completely straight?
If I look at the back of the device when it's open, I can just see some of the samsung logo on the hinge, like a fingernail gap. Should the two edges of the phone be touching each other when open.
I will try add photos later.
^ Agree - mine does not sit perfectly flat on a desk either. There is always the slightest wobble. If you press down, it will go flat but then the small gap returns.
Yeah, I would worry about that as mine opens flat, you cannot see the Samsung Logo at all.
Yeah, it wobbles a little when open and laying flat because of the camera bump. That's normal. It should be open a full 180 degrees. Unless there is something wrong with mine. LOL!
Like @Talderon said, it should sit flat. When mine is unfolded I cannot see the hinge and the two edges touch.
HOWEVER... When I took it out of the box it was not like that! Like you said, mine didn't quite fold open to 180 degrees. Mine opened to about 178.5 degrees. Just not quite flat unfolded. I think the hinge may need a break in period, IDK?
But I did notice the same thing you did and when I went to check again, I noted it was reaching 180 degrees now. After two months of use is seemingly more fluid than when I originally folded it so I think the break in period is real thing with this hinge.
Mine stopped opening fully and I logged this with Samsung UK through the customer service app. I had to send them some photos and they arranged for an engineer to come round and do a home repair. He ended up changing the inner screen, outer screen and batteries, under warranty. He said he basically just put my Fold's motherboard in a new chassis.
Took him about an hour and it now folds completely flat, is stiffer and opens with a small snap as it becomes flat. Way different to the way it was before he changed everything over. The inner screen crease is also a lot less noticeable now than it was.
