I cannot for the life of me find any little mic holes on this thing. Anyone find any, did they use the reset hole to house the mic in?
Hold it in landscape and in the middle top part of the glass there is a small slit where the glass meets the bezel. There's ur mic.

Wouldn't that be funny if people are reporting low mic volume because they have their thumb over the mic.

Thanks, but I just do not see it, even with my glasses on
it's there - very small slit about 5mm long or less.
Have you applied a screen protector? If so then it may be covering the hole - I didn't even know the mic was there but luckily my screen protector isn't blocking it
Mic
Picked up the Acer tab cover at Staples on Wed. It has a small round opening for the Mic on the upper bezel directly below the space between the volume rocker and the screen lock. If you look close you can spot the small grill cover.
the small gap is there look carefully...Julz is right
I think I found it. Is it located UNDER the glass by the lock rotation switch. Or is that the light sensor?

That's the light sensor. If you've got the Acer case, it's directly underneath the Velco circle on the case. :/

There are actually 2 mics on the Acer... Check inside the SD-cover too, in the lower corner theres a little circle, I believe that's the echo-cancel mic. I believe that mic subtracts output from the speaker from the main mic's signal. Could be wrong about that - but we definitely have 2 mics on the unit.
Sad, just sad. Old man can't find the hole. Maybe you should ask the wife.

Hi there!
Is anyone here having problem with the left and right side of the screen? When I slide my finger on the screen to the outside of the phone then I feel under my fingertip that the screen is a little bit under the body and with my fingertip I hook up some plastic part which seems to be between screen and aluminum body.
I hope I explained the problem
Anyone with the same issue? Is this a hardware issue or just stupidity of the HTC engineers?
Have you thought that this may have been done by design?
For those that put their phone screen down the screen is slightly raised off the surface thus not getting scratched......
mine is the same... i believe it's the design so you don't scratch the screen when it is face down
I prefer not putting the phone down the screen rather then having this unconformable feeling when I move finger on the screen...
Solution: Get like 3 or 4 screen protectors and lay them all on top of the screen at once. The thickness should bring them in line with the plastic rim and your fingers will no longer have to suffer the horrific feeling of a 0.2mm plastic ridge
My physical glass/plastic screen seems to be stuck further down on the top left and bottom right corners making it slant upwards to the other corners. I push the top right down and it seems to feel loose.
Is this what your issue is? because this is whats happening with mine.

I have one, did the trick.
I think it's by design too, it's not a problem unless you make it one.

imteresting idea.... hmmm
but that means the lip is like 5 microns or something, the thickness of the screen protector
have you guys notice small gap between the glass and the silver plastic rim around it,visible only on bright environment..
i've noticed this on the first day. My friend said he read something about this on other phones to. I'm guessing its because of it being glass. It is design to protect the screen so when you get a bump on side it will not break the gorilla glass. I think

Might be true, maybe its for design purposes, in mine its only noticeable on the top area, but when using the phone normally you will not notice it because of its black color..
It's generally used as a seal to keep dust from entering the phone.

Silver? Mine is smoked grey metal
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah i just noticed it on mine. Wonder if we should be worried about the screen popping out of the frame or something. The gap is more prominent on the right side of the screen when looking at it. Top and bottom has no gaps. Hmmm...
Mine looks like it has an equal amount of gab and some dust that settled in.
its made like that. like what someone said above, its to protect the edges of the glass from shattering.
The glass on mine is a bit off centre, cant see it unless looking right at it in light.

I had the same glitches. Down and on the left side of the screen. Got the screen replaced by Samsung. The frame and the screen is stuck together from the factory. Now it sits really tight.

So is it a factory defect then? Unit seems to be working flawlessly though and no screen glitches
I noticed a tiny little gap on the bottom most part of my screen and the frame. It's not very visible, but it seems to be collecting a little bit of dust.
I never noticed it before reading this thread.
I've got the screen separation problem, and if I press hard enough on the left side of the bezel my screen distorts at the left side a bit. Will this damage the tablet long-term?

Stop squeezing it. Open the case and tighten a few screws or live with it, it won't damage it unless you're pushing it all the time.

I am unsure, but many people believe flexing the screen will cause undue stress and shorten the life of the display.

That fix has proven ineffective. Screen lifting is most likely caused by adhesive failure on the narrowest shelf that holds the display.

There is a small hairline gap between the white plastic and the silver bezel .. find the screenshot ( the red area ) .. and dust settles down in that area .
Note: its observed only on the right side, left side looks normal
I think you meant "hairline"

a bump after the thread hasnt even been open 24 hours? Seriously?
And it's not a defect. They are two pieces, they meet, of course there is going to be a seem. there is a tiny gap between the front of the phone and the button. Is that a defect? There is a gap between the battery door and the phone. Is that a defect? My Point, is there is going to be some kind of gap or seem when you place two parts together. It's not like it's a one piece phone. It has many pieces.. To cray about the tiny hairline gap is ridiculous. Oh wow.. I just noticed, there is a tiny gap around the volume button.. It must be a defect Is the phone coming apart? is the gap getting worse? No... so stop nit picking..
I have that same problem with my sgs3.
Guys,
Quick question. Just received my S4 and took off the protective plastic on the back and front of the phone.
However, the camera lens looks like it may have one as well but it is hard to say for certain.
Has anyone had to remove anything from the lens?
Looking at the lens there is definitely something on there because I can clearly see an air gap and if you press on the lens you then see this protective layer sticking to the lens itself.
If you don't touch it you then can see half the lens with the transparent substance touching it whilst the other half is not.
I have not yet taken a photo as it's just gone on charge but it's my guess it's going to show this transparent cover over the shot.
Edited: Thank you to all who subscribed. Yes it does have a protective cover that requires removal.
There is a small protective plastic shield surrounding the lens, but not directly over it.

I know exactly what your talking about as I'm thinking the same lol , don't know if I should try and remove it or not
I removed it and a number of other people have also. Need to take the back off and get under the edge with your fingernail.
I suppose what we need to hear is if anyone has removed this cover and was it meant to be removed?
Edited: Thanks dacbeth. I'll get a scalpel to it when it's finished charging.
Why on earth it's not mentioned though is weird.....
It's not stuck down very well. Mine almost jumped off as soon as I lifted one edge with my fingernail.

That's what I would have assumed.... But as mine is definitely not wishing to move (so far tried with finger nail but no joy) I thought it best to come here and ask other owners.
I removed mine. There are also some near invisible covers around the edges of the phone too.

Yup. Mine came with a protective plastic -- wasn't covering the lens itself though. Its a rounded square with a hole in the middle where the lens is.

I have removed it very easily with a pin
I didn't remove mine, Since the plastic is not covering the entire lens, I think this is to avoid lens to touch the table and be scratched.

Yeah, I don't think it's meant to be removed. I took some fantastic pictures with that plastic on, and then thought you were supposed to remove that and that pictures would look even better, but they look identical. Also it took a good 10 minutes to get off, scratching at the edges with my fingernail before I finally got underneath it. Wish I would've kept mine on!
You'll find that if you don't remove it, it will start to collect fuzz / gunk around the inner circle. So you'll end up having to remove it eventually anyway.
If Samsung intended it to be left on, then it is a bad design. Mine was linted beyond belief after putting it in an admittedly lint filled pocket.

that part was the trickiest to remove,
i forced it using my fingernails and i thought i scratched the device, good thing it didn't
