Hey folks,
I had my X10 a few days ago and since then I've been fairly happy with it's performance apart from the power consumption issues we're all experiencing. Anyhow.. recently, after powering down due to running outta juice; I've notice there's loads of speckally bits under the glass. I'm wondering is this normal? Or is my handset defective?
Thats not normal, unless you have opened it, or dropped it
Not done either!
Think ud be calling for a replacement.

I am still confused as to how this could happen. I had left my Vega on charge yesterday when the Wife and I went out for the day. We don't have kids or pets. When I got back in the evening I went to use my vega and when I switched it on the LCD went funny as in one of the pics below. How could this be cracked and withno sign of any damage to the outer casing or front glass at all!!
I am at a loss as to how this could have happened unless we have ghosts that like messing with technology. . Luckily I haver gadget insurance so can claim on that!
Dropped on edge maybe.shock could have cracked it.heat?

It could have been heat. I did leave it on the bed charging.

It was fine when I left it on charge but cracked when I got home. No-one else was home so couldn't have been from a drop. If it was heat the only thing I can think of is that it was on the bed so maybe got too hot. But then that is a poor design issue. I tried explaining that to pcworld but they said it could have only been caused by damage and is therefore not warranty. So gadget insurance claim here I come.
Hello there,
Will you have to send the vega off to insurers to be analysed? or is it simply just a claim?
Wouuld be interesting to find the cause.

Anyone heard of this happening to any other smartphone?
I have desire HD and have noticed it can get quite hot while charging and the same if on the bed. Seems like we shouldn't leave our phones on a bed. Can only guess it has to do with residual heat that the bed covers hold, add to that the extra heat from charging. Unlucky mate.
However I've never heard of lcd screen cracking, although a cheap watch (lcd) can look like that if the pressure gets too much, as in if you go diving past its rating. Maybe something similar from the expansion of liquid inside display due to heat...
Either way good luck

I'm sat in traffic on a hot day (28*C) using my streak as a satnav and just had a message to say battery stopped charging due to overheating. I checked the status and it was at 59.8*C. I immediately turned it off and took it apart, putting the parts over AC.
My question now is, have I broked it?
Back on at the moment and sat at 39.9*C...

I don't think so friend. It protected itself and quit charging. Is it working now?
It is working fine now, I'm just worried I've damaged it by allowing it to get to that temperature.

The entire point of having such a feature in the Streak is to prevent damage to the battery, not to mention prevent damage to you from a exploding battery.
You've done no harm to the Streak and no harm to the battery.
I shall take your word for it.
Even though it did get extremely hot to the touch I imagine it takes a higher level of heat to do any damage..

I had an iPhone and it would overheat and shutdown regularly. Never had any long term damage or problems... Well other then it being an iPhone.

While it is ok to compare, I'd rather compare one streak to another, who knows if there are more delicate parts susceptible to overheating in the dell than another?

I've started seeing a lot more total device crashes of late. I can't help but think it's temperature related and GPS is the main culprit. I have it in the car with an official Dell holder. Even with AC on, the sun on the holder doesn't seem to help, but I can't help but feel the design restricts airflow and cooling.
Normal operating temp seems to be around 91f. Running GPS takes it to over 95f. This is going to be a problem since ambient temperature here in NY is often in the high 90s during the summer. It crashes without GPS running too when hot, but I'm sure the GPS chip generates a lot of heat and exacerbates the problem.
Set cpu is restricted to a max 1GHz. Running DJ's 1.9.0.

I was having that problem idk get stuck at the dell logo alot...I called dell and got a warrenty exchange...if your in a year of buying it I'd suggest it...got my streak in 3 days its a refurbished model but he'll it looks good and and works...when mine was overheating I had to use a 20 dollar samsung phone cause mine got so bad...once it overheating its all downhill from there

Mine has only done so once while in traffic on one of the warmest days of the year so far. Since then it has not gone above 34*C. I've moved the streak car holder to a position over a vent which blows cool air directly onto it should I get another day like this.
Hopefully it wont happen again, but should it do so I will get on the blower to Dell.

Hey everyone,
I am a new xda member, just got a nexus 7 about 2 days ago, and new to android, so far its awesome!!!!, and this website is so helpful, went through a lot of threads here before deciding on a nexus 7. but i still have a few questions.
So i got my nexus 7 from office depot (32 gb), but i returned it and got another one, because it had a slight screen lift problem on both left and right.
But the one i have now has a slight screen lift on the middle left of the screen, its really slight though, the only way you can tell is only if you carefully examine it. all the other sides are fine, just slight lift. I was just wondering do i have to return it and get a new one, i mean it wont be problem in the future right?? like the whole screen wont fall apart or something? I checked for other defects and there is none, no flashing issues, no blown out speakers, nothing else. what are your thoughts??
Secondly, sometimes the nexus 7 gets warm, specially during games, thats not gonna be a problem right? not hot, just warm, specially during tegra zone games. Like it wont melt the glue and loosen the screen right?
Lastly, once i pick up my nexus i cant seem to put it down, is this an addiction problem, do others experience this as well? :laugh:
Thanks
I'd sell it and get an ipad or something, I mean you've seen the pictures of one that got warm an actually caught fire. Let's face it, poor build quality, no QC, overheating issues. You really wasted your money on this duffer!
Just kidding, course it'll get warm when playing games, like most things the CPU will get hot when used :screwy:
And lastly it's like when you first found your **** and you couldn't leave it alone, you'll get bored with it after a while :thumbup:

I got my first Nexus 7 when they first came out.... It's been permanently attached to my hand ever since. Welcome to the club!
I've never had a screen lift, but there are threads around on how to fix it, but no, it won't eventually just fall off.
As for heat, it's normal, your tablet will turn itself off before it gets to any dangerous temperatures. And it won't get that hot without some pretty savage voltage and oc mods (see clemsyns elite kernel)

If there is a little bit of a screen lift I'd go exchange it again. It'll just get worse in time..
Welcome to Android!

Hi guys.
This morning I woke up as every other morning and did my breakfast on a glass table.
I always gently put the N4 on the glass table, with the bottom speaker just slightly out of the table's surface for being able to hear its sounds...I'm sure you know what I mean!
Fact is that this simple, standard and fair operation completely broke the back glass of the phone. I didn't even understand at first what all that creaky sounds were...then I felt like much dust was under the phone, but it was its back in millions of little parts. I posted a photo on G+ here https://plus.google.com/u/0/104235829819528805196/posts/dgbDjvAtGjM
Now...as I ask there...do you think warranty will cover this? It's a big hassle because I live in Italy and I bought it in an online shop in Germany with a re-shipment from there just because, as you know, the device wasn't much available elsewhere back in January (it's not available here in Italy even today). Do you think I take a risk if I send it back, like the device coming to LG and they refusing to repair it, so I just burnt lot of money of shipments and repair service for no reason? I see I could buy a replacement back for around 60 EUR but I will void the warranty opening it...and seeing how fragile it is....who knows what happens in the next 19 months....
In short, I need some advice
I'm not sure about warranty in Europe, so I'm not going to touch on that, however that break was caused by rapid temperature change, like if you run hot water on an iced over windshield on your car

This makes sense. The glass table is particularly cold at the touch, and thick. Even if I could also note that the phone was previously just in my bedroom at ambient temperature and no sun was on it, so, well, if the back of the phone was made of -some- part of simil-glass too, it was somehow cold too!
If you look close, the pattern comes from the camera, which doesn't sit flush, my guess is heat off the battery "vents" there, it was warm there, touched cold glass, and shattered

That looks pretty cool. I would give google a call, but if anything you can always hide it with a skin.

Thinking more about it, I remember I had just detached the phone from charge. But something weird happened! When I woke up, and the phone was still under charge from the night, I noticed the battery was still at 99% and charging, after 7/9 hours!!! I just let it complete the charge to 100% before detaching it. It could be it was particularly how and I did not notice it....
won't lie, that is by far the prettiest cracked back i've ever seen for a n4. hahaha
@ErgMeglio Well, you weren't dancing on it, so I'd say Google and/or LG would cover it with an International Warranty. I'm no lawyer, and bought mine through Google Play ... So I'd simply go back to them for a repair.

I've sent it under warranty after so many headaches with the shop.
Now I am awaiting for their investigation to know if they are going to cover it as they should.. imho...
Cross your fingers for me please

I'm paranoid about my technology and today I dropped my phone from about waist hight, it landed on its back and I have an insepio feather case on it but I'm terrified I caused some sort of internal damage to it.
That said, how hard is it to cause internal damage from dropping a S4 with a light case on it? How would you know besides obvious things like a screen or vibration not working?
Thanks in advance! Hopefully your responses will calm my worry's about this. Also is there manufacturer protection on phones that you bought 2nd hand (I bought mine on Swappa).

Honestly it's hard to say. Every drop can be different. I've seen a video on YouTube where a guy runs over the phone with his car and it works. My mother has dropped her phone with just a flip cover on it and it works fine. Me on the other hand, have an Otterbox Defender on my phone, because I can be a bit more rough, have a more active lifestyle, etc, with my devices.
If your phone is still operating, chances are you're okay.
