Hi,
I have just bought a Pixel C tablet. At first sight, the tablet was really sturdy.
However, when I tested the tablet a little bit more thorough, I experienced some problems with the housing and I was wondering if the rest of you have the same issues.
When holding the tablet in landscape mode:
-You can press in the housing around the upper left corner
-You can press in the housing around the front cam
-You can press in the housing beween the left side and the center and bottom and the center
I find this really disappointing. Can anybody confirm this or am I the only one with these issues.
Mine does the same on the left around the middle of the screen emitting an audible click.
I don't have these issues. However the middle of my screen has a bit of flex when pressing hard.
Yep, brand new Pixel C from google, just got it today. If I press in just below or on the camera, you can hear some clicking. Like glue sticking. Can see that becoming annoying as you hold the right side, since it makes the noise every time. Other than screen issues, the rest appears to be solid. But when you get to a high price point such as this, you can only ignore so much.

Hi,
Some time after buying my gnex it was charging on my computer desk with the USB hooked up, the cable got tangled in my chair and when I went to get the door, it slingled the phone across the room.
Luckily I couldn't detect any visual or functional defect, but after a while I noticed that if I apply some pressure to the lower left part of the device, on the screen, there is like a creaking noise, as if I can move the screen around a fraction of a mm inside the housing. I can also flex the screen when applying pressure on the top right of the screen where the front facing camera is.
Probably happened from the fall or do others have this?
I also have this very rare graphics glitch, when swiping homescreens, only happens when going from one particular homescreen with gmail widget to the one with the calendar widgt, there is like a tear in it, only lasts for a split second.
Sounds like the screen got loose when it flung across the room I don't have that issue with mine call for a replacement say its been like that since day 1

I know a bit of a Necro on this thread but I thought I would share my experience since I recently did 2 repairs on N5s (one Black one Red). The 2 LCD+Frames I bought from 2 different sellers had the speaker grill sunk in a bit on the front like the glass is thicker. Also on the Red one the grill was sort of a Metallic Red as opposed to the solid Plastic BRIGHT RED on the original. As for issues I ran into the Power button hole being off causing the button to get stuck and not reset fully. It'll be sunk in after pressing it the first time and be slightly raised from the frame. On the 1st one I had to do the "Button Rattle Fix Mod" to get it to seat repeatedly but that still wasn't quite right. On the Red one I fixed I had the same issue with the Power Button and I figured out what was causing the issue. It's actually 2 things: the opening height was just a slight bit smaller than the button itself and caused it to stick in the pressed position and also the seat was raised causing the button to become dislocated in an angular position. Once I figured this out I shave a very TINY fraction of the plastic away from those effected areas and BAM it works like it was an OEM one. As for the Grill I don't know how to fix that other than lifting the Glass from the Frame and I seriously don't want to do that.
I have the Black one (The 1st one I did coming back to me so I'll see if I can post a Vid of the effected areas.

Glad you got it fixed. As for the Power button Yeah that is the same issue I was having. See if you can trim a very tiny amount off the long edges of the hole. That should take care of it. I think it's a common manufacturing defect on the generic ones. Even if you got it from the UK chances are they got a bulk amount from China and just resell them. My black one I ordered was that way as the seller was definitely in the US. But both had the same problems.
Where did u get it from? Link and price if possible please. And was there black available?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
My screen was broken and ordered a new one from aliexpress.
I'd replaced it by myself and absolutely satisfied with it: more then enough brightness level, good sensitivity
My proximity sensor is always on regarding to service menu and built-in diagnostic app. When I place or receive call screen goes black and only sometimes it is possible to turn it back by power button. No red light in up left corner.
And only once, when I blew to usb port by my mouth with all my power it worked for 5 mins. It is not a good idea cause there are a lot of moist in my breath and screen went "un-glue" in bottom right corner.
BTW what is the best way to glue screen with both-side-sticker. It seems not durable and one corner of screen is a little bit up. But I have two more stickers.
PS rooted stock without any exposed or gravity-like apps.
Thanks.
Hi! I would like to ask everyone if you got a home button that is not level, that is somewhat slight depressed towards the Left or Right Side? Mine is just like that, though the full-function of the home button is not affected. I noticed that you can actually apply a bit of pressure and the home button will actually move. And there are times that the home button would feel like it wiggle but only very slightly, which is strange to me.
Am I alone or does anyone have the same issue?

Not alone. I feel it randomly as well.
Mine is slightly lower on the right side and if you look at it side on and press it with a nail the whole button depresses. Maybe it was originally designed to press?
I have this as well, I didn't bother RMA'ing my phone as it doesn't bother me almost at all.
No, it's not designed to "press"..
It's happening because either the left or the right side of your glass around the button isn't seating properly to the frame.
Look closely at the button and clamp the glass down against the frame. See how the gap get's smaller?
The way the button is secured in place is the rear of it resting against the internal frame and with the glass on top locking it down in place.
8:45 onwards for the innards

Edit: And if you clamp the glass down, when you release the pressure the glass rises back up again slightly and so does the button thanks to the small amount of adhesive around it. Now the button appears to be level, well it is level with the glass but when you press the button it's going to "fall" back down to the place it belongs: against the frame and appears to not be level but it's the glass that's not level.
What do?
a) deal with it
b) RMA and hope the replacement is better

Ok. So what about it moving/wiggling so slightly at times? I tried leveling the button by applying a little bit of pressure on the other side but it quickly returns back to it's original place, which is slightly depressed towards the right side.
Double Post, sorry
Its been 1 week since i bought my s9, and it's buttons started to wiggle a bit. Is it normal?
I used the case that comes with in the box.
You must have gotten a special package or deal from Samsung, because most people around the world do not get cases included with the phone. I mean, look at the S9 box and how it is packed; everything is very densely fit in the packaging. There's no room to add a case.
On my S9+ the buttons do also wiggle a tiny bit. Not so much that you'd ever be able to actually see them wiggling, but just when I slide a finger over the volume button or power button, I can feel them shift a tiny amount under my finger. It doesn't worry me though; there's another button underneath the button we see in the casing that actually activates the function; what you're feeling (probably) is just the tiny gap between the case button, and the functional button under it.
I mean, is this your first smartphone? This wiggle I'm feeling on the S9 is the same as what I felt on my S8 and S7. But perhaps you're coming from another phone creator that has slightly different feeling buttons.
