Am I the only one noticing problems with this phone? I'm already on my fifth brand new Inc2 in a month. Faulty speakers, loose and falling apart charging ports, vibration device not working, and now the light up home buttons on the bottom have bright white circles around them clearly visible through the black cover.
Am I expecting too much from these phones or is the quality just going to ****?

My speaker is quiet and I hate it. My charging port isn't loose but the housing around it is. My vibration is fine. And only my search key has the white circle.
Its going to ****.

My battery cover clicks a little bit, but it doesn't bother me much. Other than that its a great phone IMO.

Yup I have all that and more. I try to look past it all until the Incredible 3 comes out. I think Verizon likes killing phones by turning them global *cough* Droid 2 *cough* or maybe HTC suck at making a sequel for a phone. Then again this phone was meant to be incredible s not 2 that was Verizon's fault. Honesty I played with the Evo3D and it made this phone look like yesterday's garbage. This phone is 3 steps forward and two steps back from the original. Oh btw WTF why does our front facing camera suck more than a year old Evo I noticed this comparing my friends Evo while checking out the Evo3D

And by the way, the CLNR phones they're sending out are brand new not refurbs

Damn dude, I must have gotten lucky. I'm still on my first DInc2 and its holding up better than any phone before it. feels solid, only a slight slight rattle in the usb port thats barely noticeable, and i have no such white circles around my capacitive buttons. I love this phone!
Speaker works fine.
Charging/USB port is slightly out of spec, but is not loose and works fine.
Vibrator is smooth, works fine.
Backlight on softkeys is a little wonky, but nothing annoying.
As I mentioned in another thread where you mention all these things, you somehow keep ending up with the short end of the stick. Most of these problems you have are not common. I've seen people that go through replacements a lot because of legit problems but they are pretty rare. I've seen it happen on all devices I've owned, and I still have my original first purchase devices in my desk drawer (I should really get rid of them).
Mine works perfectly, is built solid and is the best phone I have owned to date. I cant think of one thing that I would want to complain about, in regards to the phone.
Damn, you guys are lucky. I just keep getting the shaft when it comes to quality control.
I was very happy with the last Inc1 AMOLED refurb I got. Perfect. Then that stupid ass gingerbread radio had to go and kill it.

Loudspeaker on back ain't great but not bad either. Vibrate isn't as strong as I'd like it to be but that was true for my Eris too.
I couldn't be happier with my phone.
I'm on my second DINC2. The first one had a really annoying buzz on calls in the earpiece speaker. When I was at the store getting my replacement, I immediately noticed a difference in the vibrate feedback. The new one was a LOT stronger.
I probably would have never noticed the circles around the buttons. Mine only has the circles around the search and back button. I guess that it doesn't really bother me.

My Dare was my favorite phone before moving to Android. No replacements on that one.
Yeah the white circles are prominent and around the search and back buttons.
And honestly I wouldn't care about the white circles because the speakers and vibrate work but I have the opportunity to get a brand new Inc2 with potentially none of these problems. This might be my only chance before settling down with this phone for two years.
The vibrate was VERY strong on my last Inc2. So strong that it started to shake itself loose and rattle.

You must be cursed or someone at VZW must have it in for you.
Admittedly this is my first android handset (and is making me realize that what I've been loving about my nook color isn't having a tablet but simply having an android device) but it's also quite possibly the finest phone I've ever owned.
No complaints at all about the speakers - in fact it's got the best call quality out of the last several phones I've had. The external speaker isn't super loud, but it's loud enough for me - it's a phone not a boom box
The usb port has no play at all, if anything it's too tight.
The vibrator works and seems both more powerful and smoother than any other phone I've had.
Yes, I can see a bit of light leaking through the black mask around the soft keys...but only if I'm really looking for it. Not nearly enough to be distracting. The way they seem to "flash" as I tilt the phone and the light source reflects internally is far more annoying. But really that's the only thing I could come close to complaining about on this phone.
The only other thing I can think of to complain about is a complaint I have about every phone on the market today - the camera lens is too exposed with no protection! My last phone (a Samsung Omnia) the camera only lasted about 10 months before being nearly useless due to scratches on the lens. I can only think of two phones off the top of my phone that have really nailed this. A old LG flip phone my dad had back when they first started putting cams in phones that had a sliding lens cover. And my wife's Hero which has a clear cover over the lens that's part of the battery cover so if it gets scratched you can at least replace the cover. But since pretty much every phone on the market right now has a lens that protrudes I can't really consider it a complaint about the inc2 specifically.
I couldn't ask for a better phone than this one! No light leaks, tight usb port, loud speaker, and both battery covers are tight. I bought the extended battery and it protects the camera lens and flash lenses pretty damn good from scratches and cracks

Pretty much share the same experience.
I do however have a TPU case and a ZAGG screen protector if that adds anything to my build quality opinion.
I got 4 "like new" DI2's today as replacements for our fascinates. All but one of them have incredibly weak vibrate and haptic feedback, with haptic being barely noticeable at all on two of the devices. One has a pink tinted screen and another has faintly visible horizontal lines running down the display. Yet another device has two small scratches at the bottom of the screen. Every device has the circle backlight issue, but in different degrees. Definitely seems to be a great deal of variability in the manufacturing process.

Can you get a picture?
Well I tried but its quite hard.
The glass is supposed to be onside the chassis and well it is for the 70% of the phone.
But half of the right side and especially the right top corner, you can feel it is off by a bit, and when you press slightly it goes in where its supposed to but doesnt stay there.
It is as if the adhesive of the glass isnt holding on the corner any more.

Who started THIS vile trend of replying with "This." Is it cool or something? I dunno, just figured I'd try it out. Will report back on my findings.
Been more than a month that i bought it.
And can't demand an exchange, got a friend buy it in UK and bring it over here. No way to take it back to UK for a while.
Was just wondering if it happened to someone else, or if someone had any recommendations about what ppssibly could cause this or how i could possibly fix it.
It's been perfectly normal for weeks ;(

Are you positive it didn't get exposure to excessive pressure? That is the only logical way the glass would start to "pop" out! It's a strange one, never heard anything on these forums that is similar.
Yeah I am pretty positive, I baby my phones, my nexus one is still without a scratch.
That is why I felt the need to create a topic, since I never heard of something similar on any of the phones I owned/followed.

the bottom left of my phone started making a weird clicking noise every time I squeezed it, then I looked at it and the glass was coming off just a tad, I went back to the store and 5 of them that came out were doing the same thing, try your self, squeeze the bottom left of your phone.

It should have a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defect. If there are no marks on it from a drop, they should replace that no questions asked. If the retailer wont take it, call Samsung.
Are you sure you don't mean the bottom right?
That corner actually is a tad higher than the other corners.
Nope my issue is on top left.
The international warranty doesnt include exchanges. If there is a manufacturing defect then the device should be sent to the country that it is bought in.
At least that is what the warranty card in tge box says.

Hi,
I had similar issue but located in the bottom-right corner of the phone. What I did was a bit risky but I just pressed the glass into the chassis a few times and it went in place. After this it looked perfect. Of course I can't guarantee the result, this is how I made it, of course this is not a professional way to repair things like that .
This is another time I have to write that something wrong is happening with Samsung's quality control. Quantity over quality, definitely. This is not an isolated case, I have read other posts where people were complaining about this, out-of-center camera sensor placement, clicks from the speaker, bad screen etc, not to mention the famous volume rocker bug. When you buy a phone for $700 you at least demand no obvious, visible defects.
I'm also having this issue on my phone, except that the screen is coming off on the left bottom part of the phone.
This was a replacement phone for the first one that was exchanged as DOA because of screen discoloration.
Went to the shop today and the sales rep was giving me attitude ("are you sure it isn't supposed to be like that?") and told me to return on Monday when the manager was there. Have to say I'm not really feeling the charm of Nexus at this point anymore. The iPhone might be fragile and limited, but at least the production quality is top notch...

Have you ever gone to any iphone forums and read problems iphone users have with hardware or software? Stuff happens with anything electronic that is mass produced. Every now and then you will have something that is not like it should be.
Let's not turn this into an iPhone vs Android battle =p
Each phone is graeat, for the ones that love them, each have flaws each have great parts.
Anyways, it appears that this is not an uncommon problem, and I think it is unlikely it will be causing much of a problem in the long term.
I'm pretty positive that the problem is caused by the adhesive holding the glass, not powerful enough, or not put enough at certain areas to hold on to it after a while.
It's not like, it's making the phone unfunctional or anything. I was wondering if it was only me having the problem, and appears not.
This is the 3rd Nexus phone Google had a say in, and all 3 had huge flaws somehow, which is tragic. Maybe G, should be more careful with choosing it's partners =)

Is that how its supposed to be ? My bottom right corner is higher than the benzel, all other corners are a hair below(if looking at in portrait). Being 4 days old planning on going to store to get replacement, seems this would affect a screen protector that i havent installed yet..
So fresh out of the box, the bezel on my Note 2 is a bit scratched, like someone took a fine blade and scraped into the inside of the bezel in a few spots. You can see it to the right of the button and in the corner. Kind of annoying. Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Absolutely not to be honest. Sorry.

You can run your finger along the inside edge of the bezel and feel the scrapes. It's nitpicky, I know. But for $300, I want a pristine device that'll sit in a case with a screen protector. Yeah, Imight get a ding down the road, but I want the new car smell for as long as I can. I reuploaded the pictures and circled the areas. There's about 3 or 4 areas like that on the phone.
Same on my phone.
I thought it was only me!
Same here. Maybe it was just a handling issue for some scattered ones. Just a bit bummed as my original was overnighted, but now I have to wait 3-4 days. I'm not using it since I don't have a case and don't want to take a chance on it getting damaged somehow to where they think I did something to the phone. So I'm back on the S3. And MyBackupPro worked well for just backing up all my apps, SMS and logs and just restoring onto the Note. So that's a little comforting moving forward.

I already have the return kit coming. Unfortunately, Sandy will probably cause it to be delayed.
Just got back from exchanging mine due to major imperfections in display and minor scratching on bezel.
On display the brushed grey color applied was not lined up thus making viewing area look crooked , Left side had 1/8 + inch / right side had less then 1/16 inch reveal.
Picture below is how its supposed to look which my 1st looked nothing like.
Also menu button light transparency was hindered creating jagged look due to brushed grey color not having clean lines < Very annoying to say the least , When soft key lights turned on it became my focus.
Basically the display was a mess not worthy of 225.00 contract buyout / 300.00 device cost so I had no choice but to attempt swap.
Bezel had minor nicks nothing major but could be seen.
Display units had same thing going on but not as bad so my chance of successful exchange were pretty slim but thanks to a very nice sprint store rep exchange was allowed.
She had not units in stock but let me know when they arrived one would be held for me.
An hour later I get the call swap took place and I'm now typing on perfection thanks to Sprint store rep Lisa.
So First off my home button moves up and down http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/05/behold-samsungs-shoddy-crooked-galaxy-note-3-home-button-did-anyone-qc-this-thing/, very very annoying then 2nd of all on the left side you can insert paper and you can see dust just collecting on the bottom of the glass... should i go back to where i got it and return it?

That's probably gonna depend on the sales rep. Some will probably think you're too picky or they will understand and give you another. Also I assume they would lose sale on the other since it's been opened. But it's always worth a try. If you return it for a refund they would lose a sale as well. Good luck.

Gap around the glass has been mentioned on here before. Expansion and contraction prevents glass cracking according to another forum member. My home button is good. With all these manufacturers tolerances I'm hesitant to swap units as the next one may have another quirk that I won't be able to live with. Cue my old Galaxy S4. Verticle lines down screen noticeable on grey backgrounds in low light. Swapped that unit 2 times. 3rd unit was same. However wife's s4 was perfect.

Something that, as a phone tech, I feel the need to explain- it is NORMAL for buttons to wiggle. It is NOT a defect and NOT a reason to exchange the device. You are not going to find one that doesn't have at least some degree of movement, just due to the way these phones are constructed. The button itself is just a little piece of plastic & silicone that is aligned with the hole in the screen before the whole unit is assembled. It is not actually attached to anything, it is free-floating inbetween the digitizer and the board underneath. Even if you manage to get one that doesn't wiggle, it will eventually start to wiggle the more you use it as the materials relax.
I agree. But I think the problem is the hole is bigger than it should be so the buttons have a lot of room too move around compared to the s4. Thats just how it is on this phone. Take it or leave it. The glass is a different story as it can be off centered when put on.

So looks like my pixel XLs screen has uneven white tones. There is a slight pink tinge on the left side that you can see when the Night Light mode is on. Or any dark grey backgrounds. And white is warmer on the right than the left. Do you guys think this will go away or should I just exchange it? That's the only thing I find defective. Besides that, an awesome phone.

Unfortunately colour shift is a well know amoled screen issue. Some phones have it more than others, its just a lottery on the type of display you get.
You could see if they will let you exchange for one and hopefully get a better screen.
I have couple of S7 Edge and had a one plus 3, those didn't have any issues. My Nexus 6P had it the worse and got it exchanged couple of times till I got the right one. I might have to do this for the pixel. Sigh... Hate that about AMOLED

If it bothers you, exchange it. Samsung has gotten better this year - both my Note7's had ZERO color shift on white which was a first for me. So far my Pixel XL looks pretty great, but I haven't tried looking too hard to see if it is a problem.

Samsung phones don't if you have the profile set to dynamic or whatever it is, it's the mode that over saturates everything. If you put it to natural then it's the same as the pixel.

OP's thread title refers to white balance which would mean color calibration/profiles, but the content of his post is actually a problem with screen uniformity. Changing the color calibration is not going to do anything if his panel is not uniform in displayed color.
Bottom half of my screen is super pink. Top half and bottom half of screen are very different colors on white and gray screens. Used the support option in the settings menu. Will have a replacement coming in tomorrow.
I went through 3 6Ps until I got an even screen, they all had tints to varying degree but the last one I got was fine.
I'm going to get mine exchanged.

Mine has is but honestly I have noticed it to a certain extent on every device I've had that had an amoled display (I have never owned a note or GS7 so I can't comment on them) but yeah, I noticed it right away. Mine is on the top half of the screen. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up exchanging it or not because I'm sure the next one will have it to an extent too and having them hold close to a G for every exchange really would suck. lol
I think some people notice more than other people. I know I notice it on other devices when the owner never does. I had a 6p that was really bad exchanged it and got one much better. I remember one dude exchanging his like 8 times and he said every single one had it.

Let us know how the replacement is. I'm debating exchanging mine but need to pay off my CC a little first before I have enough to cover a hold for a replacement.

Replacement arrived today. So far seems perfect. Brand new and screen is much better. No pink tones and white balance is perfect. Very glad I did a replacement now.
Setting up was so easy. Just plugged 2 phones together and it copied everything over to the new one.

Mine as well! I ordered it today and just got shipping notification. I'll post an update when I get mine. Hope I'm as lucky as NightHawk with my replacement :laugh:
Interesting. I called support today because my screen fades from white on the bottom to a creamy white at the top. This is with brightness at halfway. If it's at 100% I don't notice it, however it's way too bright to look at. Anyway, Google told me it was within standards and not replaceable.

I would call back immediately. That is not within standard and should be replaced. I would be furious if I got that response.

They said if it's not noticeable within the top 1/3 of the brightness slider then its within spec. Honestly, it's probably something nobody else would notice, it's that slight. I wish there was some type of way to measure the white scale to prove I'm not crazy.

They told me the same thing. I saw it more at 1/3 brightness. I notice it less at full brightness but I still notice it
