Does anyone has a problem with the phone not being perfectly straight?
Now, when i let it on a flat surface, the phone does not sit perfectly on its back. Upper left corner and bottom right corner are a bit (2-3mm) up from the flat surface...
I tried to straighten it (by applying some force to bend it in the other way) but it comes back to it's original bend..,
It seems like you might have gotten a faulty device. Mine is as flat as it should be. Is it really that big of a deal? These kind of manufacturing errors tend to happen, but not very often.
To be honest, that would drive me mad! The 2 phones we have are perfectly flat. For me, the whole point of buying the phone was for the design. I've got rif of my Galaxy S4 and I'm happy to accept the downgrade in performance because the P6 has a nice design/feel. I'd be taking the phone back to wherever you bought it as it's obviously defective....
Mine isnt too. Theres maybe 1mm space between table and phone when i push it from one side. But this is not a big problem, im dealing with it
Maybe your battery bulged? You had over heating problems?

It does overheat, but i understood is a general problem given the design of this phone. But i don't see any bump or something different on the back, just that it gets a little bent from time to time.

Is the battery door cover on anyone's G2 loose? I mean, it used to be a nice tight fit when I first got it, but now after owning it since its release date is seems to be just loose enough to annoy the hell out of me. It doesn't rattle but it slides back & forth just a little bit, maybe a couple millimeters worth. Just curious if this happens to anyone else's G2, and if so what did you do to make it stop doing that.
Thanks.

does it fall out? if it dosent, you can try to put something inbetween the gap so the door has no space to move

No, it doesn't fall off the phone at all, it's in there pretty good. It slides up & down parallel to the phone itself, so when I'm holding it it just doesn't feel secure (IMO).
Had that problem long ago, it was caused by the phone lock not the cover. I had a replacement and it was locking perfectly again

Check the tabs on the left side. I noticed that mine got lose also it was from the tabs bending out. Just bend them back in and you should be fine.

Which left side are you referring to, the metal clips or the black clips? And which we are you bending them to fix it, toward the center or away from the center? Thanks.
These tabs on the door its self. Just bend slightly and slowly, they will break so be careful.

I read about screem gap but i was unsure what exactly was meant. I just took a closer look and found out that there is a tiny gap between my screen and phone on top in which dirt fills in and it pisses me off. I havent dropped my screen once and if i push the top left part of my phone i can hear a sort of "click".does that make my phone faulty? Im really annoyed vy the dirt that fills in... Apart from rhat phone has no problems.

send it back. that is what i am doing. left hand side of the phone between the screen and the plastic you can see dust getting inside there to. plus if you press the left hand side tad hard you can hear it creaking as well. i called HTC to see if they could replace it for me straight away without sending it for repairs..waiting for an outcome tomorrow...if they say no i will just send it for repairs and hope they find the problem and either fix it or replace it then...i know it will drag for a week but at least that way you know one way or the other it will get fixed...
i was going to say if it does not bug you then leave it..but you sound just like me that even though the phone works fine it will bug you cause you know it is there
should i go to my provider or directly cpntact htc? And just to understand it better. Gaps are not supposed to be there, am i right?

Dont replace it as you have no other problems. Go to HTC repair center and just fix it. If you replace there may be a chance of getting more faultier one.

It amazes me some of the reasons people will find to return an otherwise perfect handset. Considering the amount of serious problems floating about this phone, I don't think a creak or 1mm gap between the bezel and screen constitutes a return. Get over it and enjoy the phone.

Ive heard that the one x was made in 2 different countrys taiwan and china... china being the worst built ones buttt I must have a really faulty dhd. I've had it for 10 months now and my screen moves, doesn't fit right on the phone as there should be a lip round it but isn't my speaker isn't straight so is sloping. Looks like the cnc machine hasn't cut it right. Power button is really recessed too far in..... I think a little sqweek is nothing to really worry about if the screen falls out then ya I'd send it back.

well that is what worries me about the whole damn thing..if it gets to hot to soon and in two months down the line the screen actually does fall out
TBH ive just checked mine and it does have a slight gap with lint building up already (bare in mind ive had this phone 2 days) Also have the yellow blotch on the screen AND a dead pixel. This is by far the best phone ive ever owned...But my word these little niggles are grating on my moobs! Ive never had to send a phone off to a repair centre before but im not really willing to put up with the problems the phone has (however ridiculously small they seem to some ) You expect some software issues in an early batch, but dead pixels, discoloured screens, gaps occuring out of nowhere between the screen, its a bit much really! Im gunna have to get it sent off soon i think, gutted!

Do you even realize how big 1mm is?!!!! Get a ruler and see please....
I doubt even a blind person could enjoy a phone with a gap big as that. You would not just see this, but also feel.
I have a gap that's about 0,1-2 mm big (measuring with paper, which is about that in average I think 0,1 till 0,3 I think but also not sure) and its around the whole screen on both sides of the ring.
Ugh...1mm...
But seriously guys, how big are the gaps it makes you return it?
I mean should I return it with 0,1 mm ? (maybe less) seen a bigger gap on SGS 2.
I got my note 4 days ago. At first everything was ok, but yesterday I noticed my device is terribly creaking. Almost every time I touch the back it sounds like the plastic would break a little bit (Although I don't think it would actually break).
Do you have the same issues? Or should I sent it back and get a new one, since it's really annoying me...?
Thank you )

Mine creaks a little in the bottom right corner. Everything else is fine. I think it's the plastic back giving a bit. I had this on the Nexus 10 as well.
Creaking is for Hollween not for my Tablet!

Yes, When I held the tablet with my left hand to touch the screen with my right it creaked like a rock band with bad music! Geeish.....the silver chrome or whatever the material is wasn't tight and it just bend. I returned it right away. I really didn't want to return it. However, I paid full price and not second hand money so I expect the performance to be right, that means no noise. When listening to music or watching a movie it seems as if someone was moving around and that can be pretty annoying. I tried holding it different ways with no change. So back it went. Let Samsung sell. This I know imagine you trying to sell it to the next person, what do you think they might say and how much will the value go down?

Yes, As soon as I opened the package, I noticed the bottom right hand corner was creaking an popping. It is not like I was looking for it. That made me investigate if the rest of the trim was doing the same. If you put your mind into into it, you can get some creaking from other ends of the trim but nothing like the bottom right hand corner. Every time I pick it up, it is annoying me so much that I feel I should take it back. I am not sure the guys at PCWorld would accept this as a reason for full money back or replacement claim. I do like the tablet, but do not want a noisy plastic in my hands.
Is this enough of a reason to ask for a replacement?

Sadly I dont think it is (pure guess so dont take my word for it) BUT I can 100% say that your Tablet will have a little bit of lightbleed along the bottom and sides....this alone is a good enough reason for them to accept and exchange - Good luck.

Put screen britghness to 100% and open this http://www.net-tracker.net/android/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/black_bg_1024x768.png, make sure it covers the entire screen inc notifications part and then switch off your lights in your room and you will then see light bleed, Its nothing major and common on LCD'S but it is a valid reason for a return/exchange.
I had lightbleeding on my first note but I found it to be acceptable however on my 2nd tablet I found the bleeding to be excessive and off putting so I got a refund from John Lewis,

If your one is not creaking then this definitely should be a rightful exchange claim for all those unfortunate to pick up badly put together tablets.
I am even considering getting my money back and going the Apple way. Excellent build quality, and I know that because I got some for the kids.
yeah maybe idk. Sammy is also known for build issues lately so you have to really inspect before you take home. The Note 3 home button is all wonky and wobbly on a lot of units.

Sorry for the question, but what is "idk" in your post?
Having a creaking case, would that get worse in terms of speading all around the tablet's trim?

"IDK" means "I Dont Know".
I guess if the creaking was coming from say a loose glass to the digitizer i think it could be something that spreads. Since if the glass isn't glued down well enough i could see slight dust getting in there and causing more separation over time. I doubt this is the case as you'd see bubbling at the edges if that was happening.
Hi, please see the picture and tell me if it's happened to you, the back glass not fitting correctly after only 3 months of normal use, no drop, and what do you suggest a solution? thank you.
I was just noticing this on mine a few days ago. But I cant remember if it was always this way. I noticed it after my phone got super hot from charging, at 1st I though it was the battery swelling. Device cares app says my battery is healthy. So idk but the seams seem to be consistent all around just wider than I thought they were.

Probably an adhesive failure/improper assembly. May or may not effect it's water/dust resistance.
Needs to be disassembled to be examined/ repaired.
Extreme heat weakens the adhesive bond of the strips used to secure the back panel. It's possible that careful heating and then pressing down could reseat it, but given the cost of the phone probably best to leave it to an experienced tech. Also the adhesive surface may have by now become contaminated with dust making simple attachment impossible without replacing the strip.
Hi!
I have the phone for about a month, it works perfectly and I love it. But in the first few weeks, whenever I unfolded the phone it snapped right to a 180 angle, but in the last few days it seems like there's sometimes a missing few degrees before it's completely flat.
If I unfold it a bit more with a little bit of force (but not much at all) it unfolds completely flat again. Is that normal? Should I show it to Samsung?

It could possibly be the bristles inside the hinge that keeps dust from getting inside the device. If those bristles come loose (it's a strip that's apparently glued on across the entire length of the phone inside the hinge) they could possibly hinder the phone from opening all the way flat. That's a wild guess but I read somewhere about the bristles coming loose and creating problems. Anyway, you probably should make Samsung or your carrier (if you bought the device through a carrier) aware of it. The hinge is under warranty so if it fails, Samsung should fix or replace it for free or your carrier can issue you a warranty replacement.

Me too, out of the box I needed to push a little to get it perfectly flat. It has improved slightly after a few weeks but I still need to do it. My Z Fold 3 snapped open flat by itself. It annoys me quite a bit.

I never had the previous Folds to compare but the geared hinge sounds better quality to me. However, I think that as long as our phones snap shut properly and need a bit of force to open then all is well.
Basically once I pull mine open for the rest of the way I'm doing all the work to get it to open fully. I don't feel any kind of 'spring action' assisting me.
This is normal. My Fold 4 has done this since new. It opens like normal to like 175 degrees then the remaining 5 is a bit loose/soft. If I push further to 180 and let go it will kinda push itself back to 175. Not a big deal to me. I feel like the fewer degrees the glass bends the less likely the crease will crack
I had this problem with my Fold 1 and Fold 2. A couple of months after purchase I noticed the phone wouldn't open all the way. Its dust! Push a sticky tape into the hinge and run it along the edge on both sides. It is a tedious process but it should help.
What clothes are you Wear with a lot of dust?
Ok but seriously I have fold 2 above 1,5 years, carry in pocket of trousers and I don't have aby problems with full fold
I had a Fold 2 and Fold 3(x2). Also I had a Fold 4 in burgundy. All of them was completely 180 flat. Now I have a Black 1 Tb fold 4 and have the same "Non flat" issue. For complete flat opening I must push the sides. But it is so since day 1 out of the box. I think it depends on how the screen protector is glued and stretched.
