I've noticed lately that my DVP screen is a bit wobbly when I press it when the screen is closed. Today, with the screen slid up, I noticed there is only 1 rubber pad on the top right on the back of the screen. It looks like there should be a second pad on the top left, but instead there's an exposed screw.
Anyone else have this? Debating if it's worth exchanging for that or if I can fix it myself.
i don't think the screw cover has anything to do with stabilizing the screen when its closed. mine is flush with the surface of the rear of the screen and isn't rubbery at all, it is just a screw cover sticker.

Are both screws covered on yours? There is clearly a gap on mine when the screen is closed on the side that's missing the cover, but maybe that's just coincidence.
yep, both screws are covered and there isn't any kind of gap. looks like something is off in your sliding mechanism.
Mine has a little bit of play but not enough to notice.
I have had a slide up keyboard phone before, over time they all get a little loose. If it is bothering you now may as well exchange while you can. I have had my DVP for 3 weeks and it has almost no wiggle.

I'm getting a creaking sound on the bottom left corner near the usb port if i push on it?
Anyone else has this or something else similar?
Same here - just discovered a couple days ago. Think is pretty minor small gap between the screen and the case - plastic must be super thin and it just bends a little making the sound. Wouldn't return it because you could get something even worse - dead pixels or stuck pixels - alignment issues - etc. They should have made the frame out of metal to elimate any flex.
As soon as a decent case is finally available for the TMOBILE version it will mask it.

I have the opposite problem. Well, maybe I shouldn't call it a problem because I would rather have it tight then loose. My back cover is on so tight I end up tearing my thumb up trying to remove it. It is to the point where I avoid removing the cover at all costs. No play at all, just tight as heck.
I noticed the more you remove it the looser it gets so maybe try doing that a couple of times.

The USA version isn't metal? mine (europe) is only metal and glass... well except for the harware buttons, they are plastic.
is it also true that the bottom is thicker than the euro version? where the USB port is, i looked at some photos, and it looks much thicker..
Only the battery cover is metal, everything else is not, feels like rubber i guess and i wouldn't say its thicker if it is not by much the phone is extremely thin.

It's metal coated in rubber - at least that what it feels like. When I get my replacement phone I'll scratch a little of the rubber off mine and see what's under it.

Great, post it here please when you get it
mine made a creaking noise down at the bottom, pretty much dead center, like the plastic (?) cover was a tiny bit loose. my guess is it would only get worse over time...only a guess though

yes, its coated with a special layer for grip... at least the euro version is!
i read this somewhere, maybe the htc website? or a review..
I just recently noticed the noise on my bottom right side.
Can anyone else see evidence of the screen separating from the chassis?
Mine is parting in the bottom left corner of the phone and the screen is starting to sit proud; see attached photos. As the glass is flat and I doubt it bends, the chassis/internals must have some residual stress from manufacture. It can be pushed back together but opens up again after a few seconds.
I'm awaiting advise from the seller (Elcell.co.uk)
Such damage
Screen Separating from Chassis
mine has the same problem.
I noticed that it is starting to get loose on my phone.
Also the T from the HTC brand on the back is getting loose.
I have the same on the topp
I don't have the problem (yet). I have my device only for 6 days...
same issue here
Thanks for pointing this out. I had my glass slightly lifted since i got this replacement unit. I thought it was just a slight misfit into the backcover. Now that you pointed this out, i notice the same peeling off on the bottom part of the glass. I press it down, and the phone got a solid feel.
Although it lifts up again after a while. The adhesive is not so strong.
I have a black MT4G and I've noticed the metal that surrounds the front glass isn't flush all the way around the phone.
If I slide my finger off the screen to the right side, it slides right off and it looks like the glass is flush or slightly higher than the metal.
If I slide to the left slide, I hit the metal which is sticking up a bit from the screen.
Visually it's hard to notice, but I feel it every time I swipe to different home screens.
Anyone else notice this? Is your phone flush all around or is the metal slightly raised all around?
mine is the exact same as yours...I noticed when I first got it, but im not going to take my phone and a micrometer back to the store for a replacement.
I woke up today to find this rub mark on my galaxy tab 7.7, it stretches from one side of the glass to almost the other! When i rub it with a cloth it goes away, but then it comes back in about 30mins. Does anyone know how to get rid of this or do I have to return my product. Its not the screen as the picture will indicate the mark covers the top right side of the bezel.

I do not know if I am helping but is there a screen protector on your tab? If there is, it might be your screen protector's problem. Hopefully this helps.
No screen protector
Picture isn't very clear or big.
Samsung tablets have been prone to "oil slick" problems, which are a manufacturer's defect.
Example of "oil slick:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orEJGB9r7OE WARNING: Loud noises on video.
When I get home from work I'll be able to snap a better picture of the mark.
Ok, here's an updated picture.
[update] again, let me reiterate: when i wipe down the marks they go away, but in time they return
Seems to be an issue with the glass (or better the manufacturing) as it also goes under the bezel. I would return it for guarantee.
try cleaning it with a mild soapy water if not have it replaced.
Yea it looks like the glass is detaching from the panel only in that area. Either the adhesive there isn't enough to hold it down or there could be a curvature in that area causing it to lift up. When you press it down the adhesive takes for a bit but eventually detaches again. Either way that's a manufacturing defect so you should definitely return it. It could eventually spread to the rest of the screen in time as it weakens the adhesive around the affected area.
yes you are right, I woke up this morning and what did I find but more lines, I called expansys.co.kr and they initially told me I would have to pay a fee for the lcd to be fixed, but since I told the rep its more a problem with the glass the rep told me she would get back to me later today about this issue.
thanks everyone for your input, I will update this thread when I get more info
If you look at a breakdown of the Tab 7.7 the battery is located on thats side. I had a problem once with my iphone that when it heated up the screen protector strated to warp with the heat. On cooldown and a wipe it would appear better.
This looks very similar to what I experienced it may be worth trying a different brand incase the glue used reacts more than normal to heat.
Also the treatment used on the screen is designed to resist fingerprints so it may also prevent the glue from adhering.
I use screen cleaner on my screen before fitting screen protectors. It may help.
Hello there,
just bought a used X Style in good condition. However the phone is slightly bent, distorted possibly from heat. So when you put it face down on an even surface as on a table, it actually rocks... One of the things I cannot do now is to actually put a glass protector on its screen as it will not stick.
Anyone with a similar experience ? Is there anyway to rectify the problem apart from buying a new front housing? I can easily open it up and disassemble it but would it offer anything at all?
Thanks for your ideas

Is the back of the phone slightly curved from bottom to top, thicker in the middle? This is not bent, this is design.
Are the edges of the screen slightly higher than the rest of the screen? This is normal, it's a huge piss off, but it's normal. Research glass screen protectors moto x pure and you'll find that there are very few which stick to the moto x, let alone stick well. My guess is the phone is not actually bent, the back is curved as it should be and the screen is made slightly different, and not many glass screen protectors work.
Edit : face down it rocks...that's odd I've not experienced that, maybe it is bent and I don't know what to do about that
Thanks for your reply. But yes the phone is bent, and I am not sure which structural part is bent and which part of the phone actually follow suit. If I could identify the part that is bent, I could take it apart, replace the bent part (middle frame?) and then it would be perfect. What is also really funny, is that the screen is not broken nor split, as it seems to be elastic enough to bent without breaking...

No worries. I have no idea what part could be bent, but it's possible that there's a lot of stress on the glass and it could break at a later point in time. You could try taking it apart and see if you can identify what is bent, had the phone been taken apart or had the screen been repaired before you got it?
I ask because I had to repair my screen, did it myself, but had to glue the frame to the LCD. In doing so I used crazy glue, and then 3 months down the road the bottom quarter of my screen stopped responding to touch due to the crazy glue pushing up on parts of the screen and wrecking something inside.
