I just purchased a Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi).
Love it and it's great. However, I quickly noticed something under the glass that might or might not be normal. It could be part of the manufacturing since it is so perfectly in the middle, past the display, and under the glass.

I am asking here because I ordered online and the device no longer has any retail presence to compare with in person. So, if anyone could tell me if they see or don't see the same, I appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hello,
I can't tell from the pictures if it's the same issue I had, however it probably is and I can see you are using the "clip" style case, I had the same / similar issue with this tablet where the screen would develop bubbles or what looked like bubbles (still not sure exactly what it is).
Basically it's an "easily fixable" defect with the tablet, it's caused when using a certain type cases that clip onto the tablet edges (even the official book cover case causes it!)..... if you want, try to remove it out of the case and leave it overnight face down and see if the "flaw/bubble" goes away or gets better, if it does then you will have to get a case that doesn't use the clip mechanism (I choose the minisuit rubber case for mine since it holds from above),the bubbles have never returned back since and it has been over 1 year.
you can see see my posts here when I had the issue and how I ended up solving it. (and yes mine did start out as a small dot like yours have then slowly spread to what you see in my pics)

Edit: thought I would show a current picture.
and here is my tablet today under the intensity of a florescent light - as you can see it has completely healed from the pics in that thread. (you can also see what type of case I am now using too.)

Has anyone here noticed a slight hump on the rear case it location is central on the spine about 2 thirds of the way down. It is a above a recess on the inside of the case which accommodates the plastic retaining lug for the SIM card. Its very minor, I only noticed it when I was rubbing my finger over the case, I just wanted to check with other people to eliminate the possibility its a defect on mine.
Other than this its the best smart-phone I have ever used, well worth the wait as I am a Handtec customer.
Thanks for checking
Have it too, but it is really difficult to spot.
I cannot see it with my eyes, basically only feel and you have to be very careful to notice it even then.
I can't feel or see this if it is there.
only found it because you made me search for it
wish i didnt read this thread. now im going to look for it, find it, and be displeased by it.
Not on mine...
i noticed it the other day as well
it is there but I don`t care.

neither do I, as other people have said it very very minor.
It's a great handset I'm very happy with it and will be more happy when the official screen protectors are available.
if it wasn't there the cover would have to be a couple of mm thicker to accommodate the recess on the inside to clear the plastic lug. I think, on reflection, that this was a good idea on HTCs part.

nothing whatsoever here.
Maybe you have particularly fat SIM cards?
So I bought the vertical leather belt case t mobile has specifically for the vibrant a few days ago and wasn't feeling it (was extra thin and poked my belly when I sat down). So today I went to return it to get the horizontal one, but they were out.
I walked around to see if I could find something similar, and boom; one of their universal holdsters fits mine, but it was a little loose, then I remembered I was gonna get the gel case, so I went ahead and got that. Tried them together and it was like magic!
Here it is without the gel skin:

Here it is with it on:
Some more pictures to show fitment and size and such.
Total was 2 (universal case was on sale) and got the gel case for 14.99 =16.99
Much better that the 24.99 for the vertical case I bought in tyre beginning.
the SKU for the case on clearance is SUPA31526.
Thats the same exact case I used to use for my G1 and I think when you ask for it I think they said it was typically used for the wing.
I might have to check this out, even tho i don't really wear the cases.
and why does your screen look like stucco?

I looked at that case, but didnt like the snaps.
The Droid X case also works very well with the phone and gel case, but you will have to go to a Verizon store to get it.
I said in another matte thread I bought this a few days ago and will post what i thought of it. I used it for about a day and here's my review!
short version: don't bother. It doesn't fit right, had to trim it. major rainbow noise on bright screen.
long version:
I tried to fit the screen for around 20 minutes, couldn't get it right, best i could do is this:

}
I am going to have to trim it with scissors.
When the screen is off, it looks REALLY nice. but the rainbow noise is pretty bad, i tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't really show how bad it is.
Now I know for a fact that not all matte screens are like this, because i have a matte screen on my HP touchpad and it is NOWHERE near as bad, you can only see rainbow effect if you look closely.
in case you need to know where i bought it, so that you don't.

personally i will still keep it, because playing games with this surface is still way better than without. And when i play games, i don't notice the rainbow problem. But i keep an eye out for a better matte screen.
haven't others posted on this forum about not buying this type of protector for AMOLED screens because of exactly what you're saying...?

Hi guys, i have my htc m8 for about 18 months, i noticed today that the screen is not flushed anymore to the body.
i saw some threads talking about it like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/screen-separation-t2886447
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/screen-coming-off-bent-t2989437
right now is not like the pictures on these threads, is almost unnoticeable, i noticed because i really looked for the device and noticed that if i push the screen it goes back to original position.
does anyone have this problem too? i think that the problem is the battery that is already increasing the size, or maybe is just the glue of screen that worn off.
i was expecting to wait for the M10 and S7 but i'm afraid this problem will affect the resale value and will probably get rid of this device sooner.
I do not have any problems at all. I have had at the phone for about more than a year now, and I must say it barely has a scratch. I'm using a very good case and a tempered glass screen protector and barely drop the phone.
i took pictures of this problem today. i think is getting worse.

The sides of the display also pop out 1-2 mm out of my phone. It used to make a cracking noise when I pushed it back. It started about 6 months ago. It didn't get any worse, in fact, now the noise is gone and I barely notice it any more, even when looking from the side.
I have the cracking noise only...

I don't know if is just the glue that worn off or is the battery fattening that is pushing the screen. i hope is just the glue.
but don't matter how hard i push the screen it goes back to the same position, i don't know how would i glue it back since it will not stay glued to the body. unless i use glue inside and put the device below some heavy books, and get a few days later.
Hi,
I'm about to get a new S9 Eu version, it's in process by my carrier, but now I decided to look around @samsung US support and saw the gass around camera can break/shatter out of nowhere..
Anyone who reported it said he/she took care of it and it still happened.
Did anyone have this here or is this just a bad batch, from what I saw mostly US models..
Anyone?

I think you're worried about nothing. That thread is a mixture of the back glass is broken, the screen is broken, there's a hole over the 2nd camera lens, etc. Those posts are a tiny percent of the phones sold and I have no doubt that some of those phones were dropped or sat on.
I see, but no one said they sat on, apparently it just happened.
So its not so spread then?
Is this thread, question the only one like that on this forum?
Thanks
I just don't think the glass shattering for no reason is a problem to worry about. I would imagine that it's a tiny fraction of phones that may have gotten damaged during shipment but an even smaller percent that just breaks for no reason.
Ok thanks again, I also asked more around and yeah it looks like user error, they blamed samsung for their clumsiness. In a thought they would warrant it.
I asked one owner of S9 and also linked him that said thread and he said it's not like that, it is durable. Those who had such issue either sat on it and what not.
He also said he didn't use case at first and also bumped the phone in the gym to some weights, accidentally and it's still all ok.
So anyway, admin can close this thread.
I'm relieved now
FWIW, I've got an Otterbox Commuter case on mine and I've dropped it several times, mostly on hard floors and it's held up well. I carry mine in a front pocket and without a screen protector there are no scratches either.
