Is yours kinda bulgy and lumpy, does it sit almost half way out of the phone?
I noticed mine has a few bumps and bulges where the 3 batteries are and that made me wonder if one of more of them were exploded and if it'd still work with one part being exploded and the rest one or two not being impacted by it.

Mines like that to so I wouldn't worry about it if anything they probably would maybe send you a different one

The back of mine is bumpy, two bumps where the top two batteries are then bottom battery is solid and flat but sits in the compartment rather cockeyed raising up up and out at a angle... Also I typically get a days use out of it now suddenly. Bought it used, dunno if it was defective or I damaged it by keeping phone on a constant charge more so than usual. But I thought/figured the two top batteries were supposed to be at a solid flat level, not a humpity hump level.
Bumps....yeh
Got those too....but the ZL works perfectly...g

Here's the battery, even the tech at the phone repair shop said that's not normal. Also the bulging got so bad the cover wouldn't fit anymore, around the s-pen slot it would never stay sealed and closed there,

Do you hate the extra bulk of a case or have an extended battery that a case won't fit? Afraid of dropping your phone?

Just drill two tiny holes in the top of your battery cover and fish this lanyard through, then wear it on your wrist when using the phone. No drop, no break, no case, who cares?
** P.S., You can also probably pick one of these up at the cell phone accessories shop at your local mall.

Hmm $1.25, cheap price. When factoring in having to give up your man card with it, it is a little too steep. Haha...jk , not for me but certainly a great idea.

First of all I looked over the phone quite extensively. No real place to attach it. Besides, it will just get caught on my keys when I pull it out my purse.

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
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.

Got no creaking, no matter how hard I press it.
my head squeaks when i push really hard? is that normal?
It's been over a month since I got my beautiful One X. It's been flawless(except the battery life, of course)
About 2 days back while caressing my phone in my hand during a movie, I felt a slight 'bump' on the back, right above the HTC logo. It is not easily visible - but surely there.
GSMArena also had this bump on their 360-degree spin model.

Is it widespread, or a serious issue? should I ask for a replacement from HTC?
Mine has it too, didn't even notice
let's hope it's not a foamy LiPo battery
as far as i know every device has this bump. but its nothing wrong with it.
Hello, mine don't have this bump and is totally flat ...

Oh! you absolutely sure? do you have a carrier-branded device?
Also, is your phone the global quad-core version, or the LTE/dual core one?
__
If the bump doesn't exist on brand new phones, can it be a result of the frequently-heating Tegra processor on a regularly used device? I've received a warning once from my battery widget, which said battery temp above ideal temperature.
I personally feel this can be risky business due to the fact that puffed up batteries aren't exactly safe
No bump on my EU model, totaly flat, but it's 5 days old.
Yes i'm sure, totally flat ... but can't take photo to show you now.
I don't know what mean "carrier-branded" phone but mine is branded ( SFR in France )
and there is no brand "tag" on case ( stock case ) if that was what you mean ...
My serial number is HT23NWxxxxxx if it can help identifying a faulty serie ...
mines totally flat too. unbranded uk
Noticed it today, too
Was bored, waiting for the lunch to arrive and flipped the phone around in my Hand in gelt it.
Glas to See Brothers have it, too.
Bit Mine has a minimal bump.

mine has a very slight bump on my htc one x white european version, i think this is normal part of the manufacturing process, its ever so slight and you can only detect it atcertain angles and your fingers have to be very sensitive to feel it,
not a big deal,
Bump
mine has a minor bump, its been like two weeks i bought it.. i am worried cuz i don't have any warranty with it.. I infact googled it they sent me to this thread.. anyhooo glad to find out that many of us having the bump and by reading all the comments it seems like the bump increases with the time so its because of the heat the cpu plus gpu generates..
had to stop gaming like crazy on it
Do NOT go snorkeling with your Note 4 in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was the day of my friend's wedding and the groom and I wanted to go snorkeling before the sunset wedding......and well, I was out there about 30 minutes before realizing it was still in my swimsuit pocket.....
I knew there was probably no hope, doused it with alcohol, rice'd it for over a week......and of course it's dead. I luckily had my Note 3 with me in Hawaii so I switched to it, and I got myself a Nexus 6 for christmas...thankfully.
But here's a picture of the inside to cringe at!

First off, great username. Second, OUCH. Nice pic of the mess though, kinda one of those "and now I know" things.
You could always try an ultrasonic cleaner. I've brought back some phones back from the dead. Used isopropyl alcohol and ran them through couple times if they were really bad. Scrubbed everything with a toothbrush after and ran though the cleaner one last time. Sometimes you get some parts you might have to change out but something is better than nothing...
You're either from Hawaii or a climate that doesn't get snow. Somebody who only gets 3 months of warm weather would never have this issue.

Thanks for the pic that is crazy! It is hard to tell from the pic where are the other liquid damage indicators besides the one behind the battery. My 2 day old note 4 took a dive in the toilet and I got it out after a couple days all is back to normal but I was wondering if I tripped and damage indicators. Thanks

Note 4 isn't water resistant... never was.
Man, that's unfortunate. At least you had the backup. I would say the thing that really killed it was salt-water. If you were in fresh water there may have been a chance, but that salt water messes stuff up quick.
Stop it with the snide comments. There is no need to be childish. Thread cleaned. Last warning.
And now we continue with our regularly scheduled program.
