I’ll post some pics later, but wondering if anyone else has a gap between the glass and bezel on the right side of the phone? The left side seems pretty flush with the glass.

crapy pic, but here it is...

Mines like that too. I thought it was normal. I was worried about crud getting in the crack but its been fine and doesn't affect anything on the phone.
I just tried to take a macro shot of it and had no luck. Wonder if I should swap it out. Really don't want to get stuck with one that actually has an issue.
i'm more worried about dust under the glass. having that gap, i'm sure it will

Closer inspection shows there is some dust in there but not a lot at all. I have 8 days to decide on swapping it. Don't know how many returns wirefly allows.
Where did you get your phone from? Would they swap it out for that.

Mine does not have that issue.
To be fair, there is a tiny (I mean really tiny) gap on both sides but nothing that looks out of place. It appears it's by design.
Yours appears to be much worse.

I pulled my case off just to check and i have a very noticeable gap on the left and bottom sides of my screen. Its not enough of a reason for me to exchange it but its there. I always have the body glove case on so i dont ever see it

I believe that these small gaps are by design, seriously. Think about the dispersion of shock when the device hits the ground. If it was perfectly flush with the
metal it would be way more likely to crack instantly..with the gap some energy escapes giving the glass a small but crucial release of pressure.

Mine looks like his but I only see the glue they use or whatever they use to seal the screen.
Yeah. The left side has a really small gap but the right is pretty big. Its big enough i can stick my fingernail in it.

Thinking about doing an exchange but I'm worried about getting this issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300133&highlight=quadrant
Seems to he pretty common. I personally dont have the issue or any issues build wise on my current phone. Its risky because I think I can only exchange one time.
Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Going in to exchange it tomorrow morning and gonna check the hell out of the phone before I leave the store.
I noticed it more today when I got my TPU case and the right side would get caught up on the gap.
Better pics of the gap. one of the left with the smallest gap and one of the right like grand canyon (ok...may not as big, but close )

The S-Pen on mine Note 2 doesnt seem to "click" in place. It seemed a bit loose to me at first, but I tried my hubbies N2, and it was the same looseness/feeling.
It isn't 'loose' by any means and it wouldnt fall out by itself. Just slides in and out easily.

Yeh thats what I think too not really loose just smooth without the click feeling my old note had.

I actually have a question about its tip. The end tip looks like a little loose in mine so when it touches the screen the tip gets into the pen. I am not sure it is defective. Please check yours to see if the tip is firm and not moving in and out. Thanks.

The tip going in and out is how the pen can detect the level of pen pressure you place onto the screen. It's the same design as a wacom drawing tablet (which is where Samsung went and got their digitizer technology from).
Is this pen's fit will become loose if you use it too much? I am kinda afraid to use alot.

Hello,
I've bought a new galaxy note 2 for 2 months.
I discovered a strange problem that I cannot write anything at the right edge of the screen by the S-Pen and when I try to write beside the edge I find the drawn line goes to right edge although I didn't move it to right!
Anyone face this Problem before? The guarantee provider here in Egypt says that's a misuse fault.
I use the stock ROM.

does your Case have a magnet in it by chance? IF it does try without the case
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
The extreme right near the screen behaves little different to the rest of the screen. There is about half a milometer part right next to the edge that does not register pen input properly. If you keep drawing the line there vertically, it will not be drawn smoothly as it happens on left edge, it will appear on screen in steps like you are joining two dots using line tool. That is normal behaviour for Note 2. That little half a millimeter part does behave like that on all Note 2s. If this is what you are saying, then that is not really a fault. I have it on 3 different Note 2s in family.
I have the same thing, on the left side
Your digitizer or the part that detects speb motion is damaged.
Hardware problem.
Get it replaced.

You're right. I tried without the Case and the problem started to hide partially. I could write in the right edge where the magnet was preventing me. But the lines still go to right as something attracts them like magnet! The influenced area is nearly a centimeter from right.

Try to use your neighbor's pen on your phone - The S-Pen is made in China and is usually terrible.

No, the problem isn't in the S-Pen. I tried my neighbour's S-Pen and Guarantee Agency S-Pen but they didn't write on the right edge either.

That is quiet severe and should not be like that. If you have warranty, take the phone back to Samsung service center.
If you have any kind of case, cover remove them. Try restart and write again. 90% of such sort of problems caused by case, back cover, dominant hand settings.. I've had this many time with my note and note 2. Every time I've found some stupid reasons that was causing phone to screw spen functionality.

Hi. Have you tried writing on the right edge with your left hand? Or you can try writing on the right edge with your S pen held upright and not slanted. I noticed my S pen is able to right on the edge if it is held upright or when the left hand is used. I hope this helps.

I tried that and the writing on the right edge had been improved. But the problem of going lines to right as a magnet attracts them is still there.

It's his case I think. He can write on the edge on the upper and lower part but when he gets to the magnetic part of the case he can't write. I have the same type of casing and I experience the same thing til I switched to another case without magnets.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
is there a metal frame inside the GNote2 which can be magnetised?
so, i have read the manual, the online info, and everything else, and nowhere does it say or show where the microphone on this tablet is; I know there is one, and it works well, but for the life of me, I cant find it!!
thanks

Anyone else notice a little lifting on the screen/bezel right around the charging port? Creaking when bezel is pressed? CONFIRMED.
Sorry to hear ,mine is pretty solid to me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I hear a little clicking sound when squeezing gentle on the bezel in that area, but the glass in that area looks flat and properly installed. I also noticed a very small sensor of some kind, centered in the bezel, just above the charging port. Probably just the hardware under there touching when it is squeezed. IMHO. Nothing that's making me unhappy!!

Oh no.. Not this again. Please guys, don't go squeezing it all over looking for a squeak.
If you can visibly see a lift than rma it. If you are squeezing it all over looking for a sqeak then you have way to much time on your hands..

Just saying, I would hope on the second time around ASUS would have figured this out. With my first gen N7 I had to take it apart and jam a qtip in it to help with the screen lift issue but this model doesn't look like it comes apart as easily. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or its going back. Never had any problems like this with any of my other tablets.

Mine is rock solid. No creaks at all.

Mine does. And my screen now seems a bit unresponsive. It won't respond to some of my touches often and I'd have to press hard. Not sure if its the screen protector I put on it (though it didn't have that problem before) or the screen lift.
Asus, you suck.
Mine used to be good, it now creaks very audibly when pressed on the top left area.
Maybe the glue dried out lol?
Sucks that I had this same issue on my 2012 nexus 7.
Asus....Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me...
