[Q] Glass raised above bezel. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi first of all English is not my native language so please forgive me
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 today, very fine telephone but the envirement went darker and I looked at the bottom of the screen when I pushed the back button and I saw light coming through the gap of the screen and the bezel and also the light was shining up on the screen from the back button.(only with a dark background)
IS this a production fault?

I've never seen that on a note 2, mine is flush with the bezel.

I agree, that's not supposed to be that way.

White replacement housing

Quick question.. Have my phone all set up how i want, rooted and running nice and fast (thanks to the checkrom contributors).. But i recently suffered a minor accident and dropped my phone, got a cluster of mini chips in the front left bottom corner of the gunmetal bezel around the screen... So i looked into getting some replacement housing to go with my new case.. but was wondering, if i buy any of the white replacement housing (fancy a change given it wasn't out when i got mine on day one) off ebay or the rest of the net.. surely the replacements won't be gorilla glass based? and also some of the pictures of said cases don't seem to account for a change in colour for the middle part of the phone where the touch sensitive keys are...
Can anyone shed some light on how i could go about changing my black galaxy s 2 to a white one..?
White replacement housing comes with: BACK part & MIDDLE part. Plus: Bright silver speaker grill & screen bezel. Also: HOME, VOLUME & POWER Burton's are white.
Doesn't come with screen.
I don't see why a replacement WHITE LCD digitizer wouldn't be Gorilla Glass tho.

Yea my dog got at my phone, I'm considering getting a white housing but just keeping the black screen. My screen gaurd was toast but apparently gorilla glass vs dogs teeth = no scratch.

Black dots on the screen?

Hi. I bought a galaxy nexus today.
When i have the phone on and the screen is black then i can see some black parts(the screen is black, but there's some parts that are extra black). Is this normal? Or is the screen broken? Going to post a picture soon.
Btw my dad dropped the phone today. Maybe it's because of that?
Thanks in advance

This happens on my screen too. It is only really visible in a dark room when the screen is black like when FaceBook is loading a picture. I also get the black dots and a black line horizontally across the whole screen. I never really thought much of it because those pixels seem to work fine under normal conditions.

Normal.

Ive noticed it on mine too. Hasn't really bothered me since its hardly noticeable. I think it is worth mentioning that my dots aren't like single pixels. It is more like a blotch or a cluster.
I have a Galaxy SII (TMO) and sounds like this is similar to the issue we are all suffering from. Here's a link discussing it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300133

Okay thanks

Transformer Prime has tons of black dots.. i'm guessing it is the touch sensing stuff on the glass/under the glass

Defective Bezels in Note 2

Have any of you noticed paint peeling off the chrome bezel unveiling black color, and/or cracked bezels, and/or scratches when they first received their Note 2's as a result of poor quality control / manufacturing defects?
This inquiry is only applicable to International Note 2 N7100's;
I have noticed that, US Carrier (Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, & AT&T) Units do have signs of these, which is completely absurd.
I want to know if any of the International users have experienced this, yet.
Thanks
No.
Nope.

Mines has been in a case since day 1. So I haven't noticed anything; I'm too lazy right now to take the case off and check... Maybe on my next case rotation...
no not seen any note 2 here, like u mentiond but may b some device has got tht
No. Neither does the chrome bezel seem to scratch easily! I always carry it in my jeans pocket n have samsung flip cover on it most of the time.
The chrome part of my S-Pen was chipped after dropping it. It has a white color part now. I feel bad looking at it lol. Only flaw on my Note 2 yet.
I got mine.
Not from the beginning yeah but I don't even know when it happened.

I have had mine with a part of it chipping off and white part showing up
Utkarsh. ..I believe yours is because some metal has been rubbing against that area. ..may be keys or pen or jeans button
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
No for me too. Use a case though.

Many have spotted small gaps between the bezel and the glass of the display. I have cross-checked with over '12' Note 2 pieces across several stores, and they all have this gap in various areas, (i.e. top of the unit, bottom of the unit, and near the power / volume controls).
Secondly, although I could not find this on my T-Mobile Note 2 (I even used a magnifying glass to confirm), some of you may have noticed that the bezel is NOT 100% molded. If you inspect closely, you will notice a joint at which it appears your bezel is cracked, but is not. You might find this disappointing, but according to Samsung standards, the joint appearance is completely normal. Some joints (meeting of both sides of the bezel) will be very prominent, and some will not (in the case of mine).
Unfortunately, Samsung does not have consistent quality control with their devices, and you will definitely spot manufacturing variations, but don't be alarmed.
You should really consider these variations as consistent according to Samsung's quality control.

Visiting the squeaking back cover again, this sometimes also occurs when the end-user forcefully removed the back-cover by chance. Treat your Note 2 with care.
However, some back-covers are indeed cheaply Made by Samsung, and the clippings are not always made consistently; therefore, you will see different results from unit to unit.

I dont have any of those traits on my phone but I was wondering if it has any relation to where the device was manufactured. Mine says Made in Korea by Samsung. If we can ask people to mention if they have this defect or not and specify the country of origin we could get a better picture here.
Sent from the Rabbit Hole
Users that have the Verizon Note 2 (Made in Korea) have similarly experienced the same blemishes on their Note 2's.
Come to the N7100,
I saw another 'four' Note 2's (2 were white and 2 were grey) all Made in Korea (International Version; N7100), and they had similar appearances in respect to the sub-par chrome paint job as well.
One Grey unit had a severely loose power button.
The White units had bigger gaps between the bezel and display than the grey version.
All four devices had loose volume buttons.
The joints on the bezels on those four units were very visible compared to the U.S. Carrier versions which did not have any.
Those four units were Made in Korea; therefore, country of origin doesn't seem to play a role here compared to previous Galaxy models.
Having a defective note 2 out the box and on my second, can someome confirm top middle of phone silver bezek next to ear peice clicks- is this correct or faulty please
Had this problem with my old Note 1, after a year of abuse. Dropped couple of time, finally some chrome paint peel off.
But not with my new Note 2 lte, not yet.

I noticed recently that the part of the bezel closest to the display is starting to chip off and the white plastic underneath is clearly visible. But that wasn't much of a defect it's the area that rubbed against the floor after I dropped it. Other than that I haven't had issues with any of the hardware buttons. I'm not much concerned anymore since I can easily buy another housing online for as cheap as 10buks and easily replace it with minimal effort.

[Q] Pink Smudge

Hello xda
can you please help me?
A weird pink smudge (size of a finger tip) appeared on my 2weeks old galaxy note 2. Im not using a screen protector but it is in a great condition, few really light scratches, screen is perfectly clean. Smudge is visible on white/yellowish background, but doesnt dissappear on other colours (gray etc,) and is noticable. Ive made a screenshot on the phone, and the smudge isnt visible on the screenshot, just on the screen. Touch is working fine. Other colours are also working on the pink smudge, like when im using Note app, i can paint some stuff , when i paint the smudge with black it isnt visible, but when i paint white its visible. Its placed in the middle left side of the screen. I dont know the cause of it. Can i fix it somehow?
It sounds like the AMOLED panel is messed up... can you take a picture with a camera to show us what it looks like exactly?
It's only 2 weeks old, take it back.
dead pixel

Faulty! Get it replaced! ASAP!
take it back, but before that just remove the screen protector and see if there is any difference.
Some wet application protectors tend to leave behind pink stain in some areas sometimes. But this does look more like a screen issue. But just check before submitting phone to samsung for repairs.

i have no screen protector.
Also a new question could this be made by poking/knocking the screen with a tip of a finger? I heard the screen is really though but I really don't know the cause. And if so, does warranty cover such thing?
it's a stupid question. But I noticed the smudge sometime after a random dude was poking my screen with his finger tips get my attention.

Take it back, under normal use (and even in cases where you'd tap rather hard on the screen) you should never see this... it almost looks like pressure damage to the AMOLED display panel, maybe it's not seated properly. Either way, you should definitely seek replacement or repair ASAP.

Black burn on top right corner of display?

I'm not sure if it's right forum or not but I just wanted some opinions regarding an issue I'm getting with my 2 year old Note 2 (GT N7100). Recently suddenly i noticed a burn type thing in one corner of the display. Since then it has slowly grown in the last few days. It is especially noticeable on white background.
What I'm guessing is that the digitizer is gone. But just a guess. Can somebody actually help me out a little to think what else could be a problem? As mentioned it's a 2 year old GT N7100 running CM12 having a tempered glass screen protector.
