Not really sure if anybody has this. Not an issue more like an ocd issue lol. Metal frame around the phone. Those two line top and bottom. My top left one seems like it's not painted all the way. 1/4 seem to be missing the paint. I guess it's the antenna or whatever. Anyone has this issue?

I have searched around but have not found a fix. My nexus LTE clicks (a physical click) when I push the bottom left corner where the body meets the screen glass together and a click is able to be felt. I tried to remedy it by tightening the screws on the rear housing but it made hardly any difference. does anyone else notice this on their phones? any suggestions on fixing it? it drives me nuts!
I noticed mine doing it as well. Do you have a extended battery? I have the one from verizon but I doubt it's the cause.

Mine makes clicking and creaking noises, but the cause of mine are the back cover.
I used double sided tape to stick it in place and that stopped the clicking, as I can't be bothered to buy another back cover.
Take off the back cover and see if it still does it?
its not the battery cover. its actually the silver body where it meets the main lcd/glass body. i do have an extended battery but i dont thinks that's the issue. it'd be a little difficult to fit tape in the gap.
Yep i know exactly whar ur talkin about drives me freakin nuts... no extended battery here.

I noticed today that just above the bottom end of the volume rocker, between that and where the screen sits, there was a slight, sharp bump in the polycarbonate. I have managed to smooth it out some what by gently shaving it down with a sharp blade.
So i was wondering, Has anyone else noticed any defects in the casing. Things like sharp ridges, bumps or burr's?
I've not noticed anything on my phone but somebody else on this forum did have one where there was a very thin crack or molding line on one of the corners. They had it replaced IIRC.
My first one had a couple of "air bubbles" in the casing. They were very small. There was also a dark dot on the white surface on the back. I didn't swap the unit out for this..it had other problems.
The one I have now seems to be free of defects. But I did read other reports with similar things.
Perfection....not!
OK, so I'm not the only one. I guess i do have the plus side of i didn't get a white one so if there is any marks on the casing they won't show up as easily.

I have a sharp bump/ imperfection on right below the microUSB slot. Good thing its virtually invisible unless you look for it.

I only noticed the one i had because my finger brsuhed over it. I would guess it's a burr from the molding process but then it would be in the same place on every device. Although if there are different molds for the grey/black and white ones then it may just be what i suspect.
As i said in an earlier post, you can get rid of it by using a sharp blade and running of it the bump gently a couple of times to shave it down
Could you post some pictures?

I would but it doesn't show up so there isn't much point.
Wont it show up in proper lightning angle?
I have on the back a small line which you can see only when holding the phone in proper lightning angle. It's hard to see, I had the phone for 15 days but I just noticed it today.

It's on the opposite side to the dock pins.

Nope. I was taking some shots of it today for a review i've done for installornot.com (link in my sig) and it just didn't show up.
But i can describe it as left over from plastic from an injection moulding process. You know how when plastic is injection moulded it leaves a sort of spike where the plastic was injected into the mould. It was exactly like that.
Ah! I've got that too plus the one in the opposite side of the dock I was explaining in the previous post.
Has any one found the same problem, the line on the back?
EDIT: I think it's the borders of the battery because I can see similar lines in proper lightning around the dock pins.

I've found two small defects on the polycarbonate body: one near the 3.5mm jack plug, like a small imperfection such as if the body was hit by something thin like a blade, and another one almost invisible on the left side.. Oh, there is also a very little gray dot on the bottom, but this is really invisible to the most people

The moulding of these cases is really not all that precise but also partly due to the fact that the casing is heated to "glue" bits of plastic and components to the inside back of the case.
I have seen on the white version if you hold it under a spot light and look along its length so you can clearly see the matte mottled effect on the back...then slowly tip the phone back and forth and you will see two horizontal lines running left to right. One a bit above the HTC logo, and one near the speaker grill. It roughly conforms to where the battery is. I also notice that for the line above the HTC logo, towards the right, the moulding dips in ever so slightly. ONce again looking at the inside back, there is some kind of component fixed there. So the cases are just not that precise I'm afraid. Check some of the teardown pictures so you can see the inside of the back casing and you will understand what I mean. It is not just a shell, but an intricate moulding of internal bits as well.
When I first noticed this I was worried if the polycarbonate case was melting due to the heat in the phone. But I googled and found that polycarbonate doesn't start becoming soft until at least 130 degrees C, so it isn't going to be melting!
Your post made me feel better now

Good work there lad.
I have just notice that my One X has a line on the left hand corner in the polycarbonate, seems too straight to be a scratch.
Has anyone else had this? not sure its worth exchanging over as this one seems allot better than my last one.
Had one in the left and right corner both exactly the same. One of the reasons I sent my One X back for the second time, looked like it would eventually chip or something.
Oh well.... Galaxy Note it is. Will keep me going till next August atleast.
Got my case mate tough coming tomorrow,not sure if I want the hassle of exchanging it if it's not gonna cause any major issues.

i have it a straight line in the left glossy corner, nothing there to chip its a solid piece of poly-carbonate, seems part of the production process so its not a reason to return it
My device has no line, but my another problem was fitts this thread pretty good.
The normal blunt surface is going to be shiny/greasylooking mostly on the frontside.
Anyone else?
think of it like a scar across someone's face. it makes it look AWESOME!
I have a very small line in the top left corner of the glossy bevel. You can only really see it from a certain angle.
I guess its a leftover from the moulding process or whatever.
Its too faint to bother me
I have quite a few lines. On my forehead. All from stress. About whether my One X battery will run out before I get to the charger.
It's pretty faint on mine too so it seams to affect other people's too. Don't think ill return it for what it is.

So after taking off my case today noticed a minor dent/ scratch on the bottom right housing corner as if its been dropped. I never dropped it so guessing someone else did and didn't tell me but that's another story.
Any ways. Any way to maybe buff out the little dent/scratch on the housing itself. I have a pebble blue gs3 also if that helps.

Try to get some nailpolish the same color as your phone. Just go to a store and see if they have samples of nail polish applied on plastik, then compare the colors to your phone. A cheap one will do fine. Then take a thoothpick and carefully fill up the scratch with the nail polish. Then wait for it to dry, normally noone will see the scratch without looking extremely carefully.
Not sure how helpful this is, but toothpaste can remove scratches from DVDs and CDs, so that might be something to look into.

Is it on both the front and back piece or just one? Not sure how to save the front, but I know the back cover you can find for cheap on eBay. I'm interested how you would fix the front part myself. I haven't dropped mine yet (knock on wood) but I'm usually really bad about that. Lol

Hey everyone,
This is weird and I have not found anyone with the same problem on the net. My phone glass is not cracked but their is something leaking at the top left corner of the screen. It started just a little but but now it has gotten bigger. It almost looks like a silver substance and it is leaking beneath the glass.
Has anyone seen this before? What could be wrong?? Phone is working fine...
Any Ideas??

I repair phones sometimes for extra money. Samsung phones have a like substance between the glass and the lcd and that what your song is what happens when you start to separate the two
