i was wondering cuz my x1 has wobbly slider
i think its mean to be like that. Otherwise the top part would just scratch the keyboard all the time
Mine has it too. It wasn't like that when I first got it though.
Not worrying too much about it now since it's not really an issue for me. When the slider is open, it's still pretty solid. Might have a closer look at it nearing the end of my warranty period though.
yeaaa...there is no use taking it to the Sony Ericsson centre kind of thing, they'll just say that it's just a part of the feature thing
my first X1i had a wobbly slider, that handset was Week 44 and i also noticed an uneven gap between the keyboard and the screen on the bottom left hand side.
Then i dropped it by accident and i was sent a brand new handset manufactured on Week 50 which has a very solid slider and the gap between the screen and the keyboard on the bottom side is equal to the top side.

Wow. You can get a replacement for dropping your set? Thought that won't be covered under warranty?
mine isnt wobbly at all

Of course it is not covered by the warranty, the handset is insured through my operator (O2).

A few days ago, I managed to drop my HD2. This would normally be a bad situation at the best of times, but this was from the top of my stairs at home. The phone fell through a gap in the bannisters and fell SCREEN DOWN on a stack of CAST IRON weights that were stacked on the floor below! I would've bet a lot of money that the phone would've been very badly damaged and was FULLY expecting to find the screen totally smashed with tiny splinters of glass everywhere. I trudged downstairs and, fearing the worst, picked the phone up and turned it over........ the screen wasn't smashed... it wasn't even cracked. I put the battery back in (which had been fired across the room from the impact) and turned it on... PERFECT. The case wasn't even marked or scratched.
Don't get me wrong, I count myself freakishly lucky, but I was truly staggered the phone survived that fall in the WORST of circumstances and didn't even get a scratch.
Just thought I'd share!
did u have any case on it ?
show a Pic of ur phone with its case
thanks
No case. Phone was naked.
astonishing..
I am amazed as well at the durability of the hd2. Dropped a 3 month old iphone about 15cm off the ground and shattered the screen. Annoying cause of the $ but was an iphone so didn't really concern me greatly. Someone got a used ipod as the phone part died. Anyway so when i was putting stuff in a cupboard with the hd2 in hand inside the stock leather pouch, i tipped the phone upside down by accident trying to keep the pile of junk in the cupboard from crashing down and out of the pouch she slid. This dropped almost 2 metres onto concrete tiled flooring on the top right corner of the phone in what i can describe as an almost vertical fall. I was thinking that the screen was long gone too but to my amazement she was still running fine with only a very slight warping of the hard plastic shell in the corner from where it hit. You have to be looking for it to see the warp that is how minute the damage is but i think i tempted fate once too much also. But hey... a really good phone that has survived a bit already. The only downfall so far is it turns on easily when in your pocket on the plane.
it is tough. accidentally dropped mine from the dressing table to the hard woord floor. did not find a scratch
you guys are lucky, back in february when I'd only had mine for 5 days I dropped it taking it from my pocket, just over a metre, shattered the whole screen to pieces, still used it for a week or so before the touchscreen failed to, god bless insurance!
i felt it 4 or 5 times on the floor witbout one scratch, to be honest only few ones barely visible on the battery cover like 1 or 2 mm long. probably lucky too.
now ... i use my fixed on my motorcycle (gps), went for a 7 days trip with you can guess, a lot of vibrations and sun heat. nothing
I read on here somewhere that the screens most likely to break if the first contact between the phone and the floor is the bottom corner near the hardware buttons because of the gap for the buttons which makes sense........
I would have just sat at the top of my stairs crying if I was the OP.....
Lucky lucky lucky.....
The center of the screen is the place for it to be hit. It's the strongest part of the display, the further out from the center you go, i.e. the edges, the weaker the display gets.
Try smashing a window hitting it in the center with a bat, it will just bounce right back at you with considerable force, hit the corners and you'll get a lot less recoil and you have a much higher chance of shattering the glass. Of course this is just a very crude example of what I mean.
id say you just got lucky
I wish the crap LCD panels HTC use for the HD2 were tough. I have had to return mine twice since I got the phone in November due to developing white patches on the display.
Strange that my 3 year old 2G iPhone doesn't have the same issue.....

And I am sure that someone with an iPhone is saying the same about HTC phones. It swings in roundabouts, no manufacturing process is perfect.

I must know about twenty people with iPhones and can't think of one who has had a single hardware issues with them. A couple of them dropped their's which resulted in cracked screens but that applies to any device with capacitive displays. I'm not an iPhone fanboy here, I love my HD2. But despite Crapple being **** when it comes to their obsessive control of what the end user can do (which renders their phones unusable without a jailbreak in my view), they are renowned for the quality of their hardware and for good reason.
I just find it annoying that I have had to return my Leo twice for exactly the same issue without treating it any different to my numerous other phones, and I have no doubt the same thing will happen again within 3-5 months. This points to shoddy materials.
Wish I could say the same for my HD2. Slipped out of my hand the other night and onto concrete from about 4 and a half foot up. Screen is cracked all over, gutted. I've dropped it before but its just scuffed the rubberised edges, made a right meal of it this time.

It doesn't stop the phone being usable, but why should I put up with a defective screen on a phone that costs this much?
I'm close to my 14 days return period at bb and suddenly I noticed that the glass screen on my Iconia is separating a bit noticeable enough for my fingers to feel it when I touch that section. It is the area at the docking connector side, the screen is raised a bit higher than the side metal bezel. When I pushed it down hard it flushed back in but raised again after some time. I never noticed it before and I've been really using it daily for more than a week now and only until yesterday I saw this. I feel really bad because I really love my Iconia and was really planning to keep it. I had the same issue with my HTC EVO, but I held on to it because I've read in the EVO forum that others have even worst screen separation and mine wasn't as bad. So I'm wondering if most Iconias have this issue so I don't need to return it anymore. I've checked the display unit at bb and it has same screen lifting around that section near the docking connector.

Same issue here. I noticed it the other day. I have a week left on my 14 day return period. Honestly it is not that big of a problem to me. I cannot push it back down, I just figured it was made that way. I noticed the demo unit at my local best buy was the same way. I do not think it is a deal breaker to me.
Yeah mine is like that too :\
MMm - no trouble here yet. Then again I was a first generation nook owner who never had a button crack, and those were hard to find ;-)
I take mine to and from work every day and use it at least 2 hours a day not counting weekend software development time where it's my test platform, so you could call mine pretty high wear and tear.
So it seems like it is common to have that slight lift on the screen and hopefully will not get worst than it is. I will just keep it and not replace with another one, who knows the replacement might even be worst or have dust like the others were complaining. I've put too much time setting this up and I really love it even with all the criticism it gets from other users.
I feel a slight raise on mine - but far from calling it an issue.
There's some dust particles getting under there now...think Staples would accept a return for that? Still in my 14 days. It's annoying.
Staples told me they would take it back for any reason in 14 days... even if you just decided you didn't like it.

Oh no, I hate dust inside the screen. Was your screen raised really high or just a bit?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
lol. There shouldn't be any question at all....take it back.
I'm not returning mine but this is irritating for sure
I believe it is designed that way, just as there is the gap between the glass and frame on the opposite side (where the microphone is placed in the center).
I for one find the A500 a great piece of hardware, and this doesn't bother me a bit... I actually hadn't noticed until you mentioned it here ;-)

Raised here as well
Looks like an intentional raise to me though. The sides are flush and begin to raise about 1.5 inches in from the side of the tablet toward the center until it reaches it's highest point dead center to the dock port. Then back down by the same amount.
If it is not intentional it sure is a nicely implemented defect.
If I run my finger along the edge of the screen I can feel the glass being raised ever so slightly, fractions of a millimeter, towards the middle, above the dock connector.
Though as I look closer and use a metal ruler I find that it's not the glass that is raised but rather the bezel that is lowered slightly in the middle, above the connector.
All of them I have seen are like that, don't think its a defect at all.
It looks like it is easy for dust to get in past the microsd slot area as you can see the back of the screen through the cracks. I would be careful outside and in dusty areas. I am going to look for a sleeve that covers it or something...it should be sealed better than this.
I haven't had any dust yet, (hopefully never) and my screen is raised. (or the bezel is lowered)
I'm getting that too now. It's definately raised. I checked when the OP first posted this and it was not like this. Now I can press on the glass just above and slightly to the right of the dock connector and the screen goes down flatter. The raised area is not quite centered. I've had this tablet 3 days shy of 1 month.

Has anyone else noticed this? On the bottom right corner of my GS2 (Just next to the back key) the glass is visibly raised, In the other three corners the glass sits about .5mm below the bezel, in this corner however it sits about .5mm above it.
Light from the back key bleeds across the screen very noticibly, and is also visible around the bezel. I can press it back down into the correct position, but it usually rises back up within moments.
I'd rather not have to send it back given it was bought in the UK and I'm from Australia.
I have not noticed anything like what you have described so I think it's a bit faulty. I would suggest you return it!
Aired from my SGSII using XDA App.
After I reading this thread I started pushing at the area where the OP said was loose.
It does kind of feel flimsy at that area. This might be a design flaw.
That area feels fine here, i would defo send it back for repairs if you can.

In my case the bottom right corner is nor raised, it looks like the other three.
With my previous screen, it seemed to be a bit raised but the new screen is perfect (Knock On Wood)
Service Center is always the last option. Post a pic here before that.
Mine is not raised anyway.
Hi had the same issue with my screen, bottom right was lifting. I think the glue sticking the screen down weakens. I got a case so it's not that much of a issue.

Samsung Germany didn't replace it because of that, so the only option is the Service Center and 1 Month no Cellphone
Or you really disassemble it yourself ^^

My girlfriend and I both ordered Samsung Galaxy S4. I received mine on Friday. After unpacking it, we noticed that the glass that covers the screen sticks a bit up on the upper left corner of the phone while on the other corners the edges are within the silver frame. She received hers today and we noticed the same problem on her phone. Is anyone else familiar with this?
Sounds like the adhesive that holds the glass down hasn't been applied correctly. I'd return it if I were you.

Yeah, sounds about right. If I push it down, it stays there for a while and then goes back out.
Fortunately I'm in Europe so we have a 14 days return almost no questions asked plus a 2 year warranty. Definitely going to return this one as well, just a bit of a bummer that we have gotten two phones now with pretty much the same fault...
An hour ago, I was using my phone, surfing the web.
While I was scrolling down, a sudden crack sound appeared, I was shocked.
I saw a big crack! It starts from the top of the phone, near the earpiece!
Then I immediately went to the nearest Sony Authorised Seller. All they said was "your dropped the phone, so the warranty is not covered. " and they were acting very bad and arrogant. Moreover, I am told that I have to pay RM1150 / $350 to get the LCD changed!
I'm just a college student and don't have such a huge amount of money!
What should I do? I did a search and found our that I'm not the only one that has similar problem!
Just see links posted by wookie bear

Its a real shame that a oem like sony is not accepting the fact ....
U should them on fb or twitter wid the given linkz
Ask them a simple question. If it was dropped. Where is the impact mark ? Does it correspond with the crack ?

tbh it could have been the pockets of your jeans. Early days when the Z was launched, a guy posted that the front screen cracked (exactly like yours, the top ear speaker), cause it was caught in between something.
therefore, the top ear speaker and the bottom mic needs to be protected at all times.
solution 1: use a case and cover it.
solution 2: no case, but when youre putting it in your pockets try having the front screen facing outwards of your pocket. So when you slide your phone in, it would not hit the metal part button that most jeans has.

That would be my 2nd option.
Now after a strong argument with Sony Service Centre, they say they would like to take my phone for investigation.
Not sure if they'll repair it under warranty though. I'm worried that they would say some stupid excuses and refuse to repair it under the warranty.

And ridiculous. Sony claim the phone to be very solid and durable. However, many people are facing the same problem, which the screen cracks without any sort of torture or damage. It's clearly a manufacture defect but Sony wouldn't simply admit. I pay so much money for that and I have to take care of it like taking care of a baby, until every little details can't be missed. Seriously? Sony?

I meant it may have weakened the screen by placing the phone inwards like that. Things don't just crack, obviously there is a reason behind it. Or could be a sudden change in temperature?
Placing your phone inwards is technically warming up the front screen, dont tell me it does cause it does. >.> and chances of you scraping the speakr and mic against the metal buttons near the pockets are high.

No dude, you have no idea how many people cracked their screen by placing the phone face in into their pockets. Search around and you'll realize how easy it is to crack it just by placing in like that.
There are flaws in every design, every product, everything. Dont expect things to work properly or as it should. Chances of you getting a non defected piece of technology is really low.
And like i stated, there are many reasons to cause a piece of glass to crack.
Ive been using my z without a case since it was launched and its still working fine. No cracks, never dropped it. Nothing. Im in a worst place than you are, my Z is from oversea, technically speaking it will be a hassle for me to send it to Sony. In fact, all my sony phones are and ive never seen any of them cracked before. Im not accusing of how you treat your phones, but dont jump to conclusions and blame it on Sony right away. and I DONT WORK FOR SONY. pce!
