Had my note 3 for about 2 weeks now and I notice there's a spec of lint or dust under the screen as I was applying my screen protector. .. Samsung screens are sealed right?
Should I go get a new one? Paid big bucks for this and I'm running it on at&t. . Don't bug me or anything but sure would like my money worth.. do I have to flash back to stock? I'm rooted but stock rom..

It's near the corner. How big it is and how much it bothers you is your discretion. If it was center of screen for sure. Up to you. I think it is legitimate concern.

still thinking if i should go return it.... would you guys return this ?

Does it bother you that much? If the rest of phone is perfect and dust doesn't bother keep it. If it knows its going to drive you mad then try to return it.

yeah dont bother me that much... now that i know its there i keep looking at it lol.. i can still return it with in 30 days and its been 16 days if i didnt live in CA it would of been past my return/exchange/refund 14 days in other states i believe ...
yeah i might return it... going to flash back to stock.. right now im rooted on stock rom have not flashed and roms..

My wife's N900A has a little nib of dust on the right side near where yours is also but her particle is smaller. I could only see it when cleaning the screen under bright lights prior to screen protector install. She aint bothered.
Must have been put there when the were bonding the screen to the digitizer I think? Since after bonding process nothing can get under there.

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic
Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here
This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.
Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol
that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue
im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.
Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?
I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.
thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)
lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it
Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one
No way.. I wont try it
When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one
Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!
I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

Creaking on my Gnex

hi guys I wanna shared this problem with all because maybe someone has an idea to solve.
I have problem when I press on the green areas of the image, I have a little Creaking, but it feels when I press a little hard, but still bothers me because it's a $700 phone, I bought my phone on ebay to a Chinese seller, so I think I'll have to find a solution for myself and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea to solve this.
Thanks.

Nothing in either sopt for me. I have a minuscule amount creaking up at the very top of the battery door. Just have to push the battery over up a little bit and it goes away.
No creaking for me in those spots or anywhere else.
Ah, I have that creaking...but I have to push very hard. Bought mine via Expansys. Doesn't bother me too much. OP, how much pressure do you have to apply to make it creak?
Yea I definitely have the creaking when I press down around and below the camera. It's annoying b/c that's usually where I rest my finger when I'm on the phone. Is it worth trying to get the device replaced?
It always is and always will be user preference. Some people have lower thresholds for the little annoying things. Getting it replaced is solely up to you. For me, it's not a big enough issue.
No issue here. Sorry.

I have to press a little hard to hear the crunch, I think plastic phones always crackle a bit , whenever I can live with this if not worse

Anyone else Trying to live with Yellow Spots...

I have two small yellow spots. Upper left and upper right. I have already rooted and installed custom rom and have been playing with my phone for a week now. I love this phone and am trying to live with it even though I know I shouldnt.
Anyone else in the same boat? Or did everyone that had this problem return there phone. I bought mine unlocked on amazon.
Has anyones spots disappeared? I was googling the pictures of the Iphones that had the same problem and they look Identical to what I have. Its not as bad as some peoples pictures I have seen though.
hmmmm.... what to do...

Spots. Sorry for the confusion. I should change the thread title.
Title changed!
Most likely glue.

how long have you had your phone
spots can go away with use
1 - week.
Thats what I was hoping and the reason I havent returned it yet. You can press on them and they disappear. When you let go they come back. I was reading in a thread somewhere that someone had massaged them for a little bit each day for a week and they went away.
They also get brighter as the phone heats up.

Another ONE X "hard to break" video

I guess not posted here yet!
http://youtu.be/cuv0VMBkWZ0
crazy video
damn,its water proff...BIG LIKE!!!
never come s3
look this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e3ri6vrmPbc
I'm kinda confused, a lot of people complaining about screen being prone to scratch, a lot complaining about not being gorilla glass etc etc...
As the other guy how had his one x going down from the second window floor and still working fine.
Had switch my yellowish Xperis S to th one X that arrived at home today but i'm on a trip so tomorrow is a big day, huge expectation about it after frequenting this forum for like 2 weeks now!
Hopefully no screen flex, bad screen ripple, gps or any other issue!

How can that be possible cant belive ...
Wow these videos are amazing, at least i don't have to worry about my phone too much now. Especially after that one dude on here dropped his from a window and it survived
Beat that SIII
Shock & awe!
just plain wow! Now I'm prouder with my HTC One X more than ever!
Next time I get into an argument with an iPhone or Samsung user, I'm gonna smash his brains in with my HOX!!!!
Even better, someone should do a phone fight off video, where they smash the phones against each other, like HOX vs SIII or HOX Vs iPhone!!!
One day before my protective screen arrived I accidentally dropped my work phone over the HOXs' screen. It's a heavy blackberry and I was sure it would have damaged the screen. To my surprise there was not a single micro scratch there. Nonetheless the protective screen arrive and I´m happy to have it on
My HOX got run over
So today i dropped my HOX and my mates car ran it over... needless to say i was crapping my pants when i was picking it up to see the damage but to my surprise nothing!!!!! Not even a scratch, dent or anything! I am using a plastic case and a screen protector so that would have absorbed a lot of the punishment but still very happy no damage to the phone!

Note 2 glass screen replacement story

So I watched the youtube videos of how to do and ordered everything but the 2mm tape...so we searched all of the local stores and no one sells it. So I read somewhere here before the idea of someone using superglue...and had a little trouble using some guitar pics that the replacement kits send you and used a credit card to get the middle broken glass instead...it was actually a success...the only problem with the phone it has a spot on the screen sorta looks like its touching the digitizer...is that really ever gonna b a problem? The superglue and/or the spot??

Only time will tell. ..
But for now. . If the device runs properly. ..then roll with it. ..
I do however. ..pity you if the screen needs repair again. ..as it will require the new screen and digitizer next time around. ..
The 2mm tape would have been the choice for me. ...g
I wouldn't be able to stand my phone looking like that. I would've paid whatever to have it repaired professionally.

Yea the price locally here was 250 $ with a 75 $ deposit I would never see again...I mean the phone works 100 percent but it will b taken care of to the fullest...it does bother me but its a quick fix that I did for around 50 bucks...im pretty sure I can take it back off because it didnt need that much superglue...jus mainly the corners...I just dont want to attempt it again without the proper tools again...its a story I wanted to share if someone is really desperate and cant fork out 250 bucks to get it fixed...

Will you believe it? I got from e bay whole kit including glass and tape and everything for 22 bucks. Replaced the screen after watching YouTube videos.
Then somehow there was moisture left in the center and it looked like your phone currently is...
I couldn't stand the sight of it... took it to att repair and warranty store and they gave me a new one, not knowing that its screen was replaced by me. He said its not my fault that moisture got into the screen.
I think I was lucky but hey, it was worth a shot.

ya this is why I always replace screens with the lcd and digitizer already together, too many things can go wrong.
but in your case if the phone is still working and you can handle to look go with it, if not then I would look into the whole replacement and hope the $ comes down some lol.
