I have a samsung vibrant with a very creaky bezel and have tried taping it and everything to fix it but it still creaks. Can I get a replacement with this?
Mines the same way... thank Samsung for the crappy plastic build.

hi! is it just me, or has anyone seen yellowish/brownish parts on the LCD of the galaxy tab? Does this mean that the LCD is defective? Although tolerable and unnoticeable unless you look closely, should I return this to samsung? or is this normal??!!!
First I heard of that.

Mine doesn't have that problem. I would get a replacement.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
Where have you been putting your tab :S
He's been taking it to the john.
Its right around the Samsung logo on the back. It moves around (seem like an air bubble). I noticed it when I was holding the tablet in portrait mode and it made a clicking sound. Anyone else having this? And there seem to be a little lump right above the logo too.

I have a clicking noise in the corner where the power button is, if I barely push the glass and back together, it clicks. It's a bit annoying and I hope the glass isn't separating. Is that an issue with the retail Tabs as well as the I/O ones? Maybe I should take it back...
I had the same issue right above the samsung logo. And the samsung logo itself actually had a bulge too which was annoying. It was a 16gb metallic grey model. Made an exchange and the problems gone.

I/O Galaxy Tabs are the limited edition ones that were given to the attendees at Google IO this year. They have a white back with Android robots all over the back. If you google it, you can see what it looks like.
I think that the tab you have is returned to them by me. Maybe they repack it and sold it to you. The lump happened because of me because i put the tab on charging before sleeping and the played the hsn or qvc live stream. The cover was on the tab so when i woke up in the morning the tab was burning hot. I had no intention to burn and have a lump on it but because of the cover it happened. So yes your tab has lump my fault not sure about the clicking sound on the back. Maybe some other person done something, i hope he/she confess here. So ya you have new and really good tested unit. Forget the lump and the clicking sound focus on durability of the unit.
Nothing of the like here... lump or clicking around logo and power button.

Sadly, I know not to drop shiny new objects but unfortunately I dropped my nexus 7. Thankfully the screen is perfectly fine but I have chipped the silver bezel. Has anyone had any experience with any touch up products?
It may be the case that I could find a cheap nail varnish that would do the job but I do like the idea of trying something tailored for the job.
Any thoughts would be great.
Regards
Edit: I have chipped my dell xps which is a similar colour and also the handle to my fridge. I could buy in bulk as I probably will continue to use it.

Silver Sharpie might work. I used it to color the stylus button on my Galaxy Note S-Pen. Might have to retouch every month or so, but I think the color should be about right. http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-39108...81746&sr=8-4&keywords=sharpie+silver+metallic
Many thanks for the tip. Nice cheap fix.

Is it black underneath?
Just curious, since my bezel is black. I'd imagine if I was just painted plastic it will wear away.

I was thinking of using nail polish. Light silver would seem appopriate...?
It was black rubber (?) underneath. I'm surprised that the metallic finish Sharpie has worked so well but for the best part of the week no degradation. I'll be honest, I'll probably get an Asus cover from the play store when available in the UK as although the colour is spot on - I didn't prime or sand down prior to application so it still catches my eye.

I just had the same problem and am googling left right and center for fixes. How did this work for you? Do you have a pic?
Hi.
I've got a weird thing with my phone (i9505). when i tap the screen at the top, or even next to the speaker, it sound like something is loose. Screen works just fine, touch also.
Does anyone else have this?
Could be manufacturing defect.
Should i return it and ask for a replacement?

I'm not sure if it's what you describe but I noticed that when tapped a bit "harder" or put to the table with a little force, there is a slight vibration which feels like something is mounted on "rubber"...not sure how to describe...it's more like a part has a buffer which prevents it from being damaged. It really might be the camera lens or some other part swinging and I don't think something is broken.
My S3 also hadn't that kind of feedback when tapped. However it doesn't make any noise so I'm not sure if it's what you mean...but also it might be that same part just being broken in your phone if it's rattling.
Probably just the vibration motor. If you hold the back to your ear and tap the front, it sounds hollow (or like a drum).

Try tapping the same area on a display s4 and see if you hear the same thing. A real display too not a dumby phone.
My htc Dna did this and it was the lens. Verizon brought out a brand new dna and it did the same thing.... Lol good luck

Virtually every device forum on here as the same thread.
Its part of the camera lens that moves internally is the answer on every thread.
Noticed the lens rattle too. Sounds unnormal, but I went to the Shop and the Galaxy S4 there had the same "issue" while tapping on the upper Display Area.

I just went to the ATT store for the same reason. There is a plastic cover over the camera lens. Peel it off, the noise goes away..
There is no issues never has been, never will be. Its the autofocus in the camera.
That's why I set issue in quotes It's a constant sound while using the S4 and tapping the top of phone. On my S4 sadly loud, but according to the store no reason for a warranty exchange.

Helloel everyone,
I tried searching to no avail. I have dropped my phone and had to sand down the front chrome bezel. I would prefer not to replace it.
Can anyone direct me to a specific model paint that matches? I bought a chrome paint but it's pebbled.
Model numbers would be awesome.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I have not heard of any.
But is it insured or under warranty? If is is maybe you could get it replaced for free.

Unfortunately I dropped the phone and it dented the bezel. I don't think it is warrantied.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried a silver model paint which looked promising..but it didn't stick. I also tried X-11 paint but it was too "speckly".
My last option is the chrome spray paint. I will be spraying it onto a plate and using small brushes to transfer it to the bezel. Will keep the forum posted.

I'm also looking to fix the small chips on the chrome part of my Note 2 before giving it to my mum. Gonna buy some paint from Halfords and see what happens. Damn plastic.
