My screen doesnt sit flush with the edges of the phone and I am wondering if this is a common trait of the phone.
At the top left of the screen it actually does sit flush. If I run my finger across the screen to the left and off the edge, I can't feel any edge.
Anywhere else on the screen, when I slide my finger across the screen and off the edge I can feel the lip of the edge .
Its as if either the top left of my screen is sitting out more than it should, or the rest of my screen is a bit too far in.
Is your screen flush with the edges?
Mine's recessed all the way around.

I have a tiny lip around the whole edge of the phone.
I got a lip on the right hand side of the phone. And no lip going round from the right side edge

the left side of my screen is flush, the right side has a lip. It bothers me sometimes.
I don't think screen is gonna fall out. It seems fitted tightly
I got a little groove on the screen at the bottom so I could pop screen put then pop it back in.
Don't think ill bother tho just in case lol

Mine is the same way. I considered returning it but decided against, since it was pretty minor and didn't affect functionality.
i've a gap on the right but nothing on the left, the "doubled" lip at the top and bottom bothers me a bit more i think

Guys, look at the casing. The screens the same height all around (and this is on purpose for reasons such as setting it face down on a table), but the casing is different. On the sides vs bottom.

That wouldnt explain there being an edge sticking out on the right side of the phone but not on the left side

I am really enjoying my Aria. However, the back doesn't fit just right. It can flex back & forth. It just doesn't feel solid. I've owned HTC phones before & the build quality is usually tight. So, is this an issue w/my phone or is yours a bit 'squishy' too?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Mine is slightly loose at the top and squeaks when moving it. Probably happened from sticking my nail in there so many times to remove the cover.
Mine too. This is a design flaw. Damn.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
it is a design flaw... I got 2 Arias and both are the same, once you remove the cover more than 1 time.. it will become that way... what I did was to put a little piece of paper on that corner and there is no play what so ever...

ya i've used that trick on every phone i've owned, works like a charm
Aha -- interesting! I never thought of a little paper shim. Thanks for the advice.
I was just wondering about this the other day. I guess I will try the paper trick.
I also have a squeaky back cover, as well as my volume up button being a little hard to press.. Where exactly would I put a little piece of paper?!
Thanks!

I wrapped the yellow edge inside the phone with scotch tape creating a very tight seal that is invisible

Interesting. Did you cover the bumps that hold the back cover on as well?

AHA, the little piece of paper on the corner did the trick, thanks for the tip!
I'm lucky I suppose. I've taken my back cover off dozens of times and there's no play at all.
On the bottom left of the screen i can press the screen back? Is this normal?

Nope I don't think that is normal.
Is it like this? http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-edition-tablets-experiencing-screen-defects/
No its a little bit a milimeter orso but i can feel it

I have the same exact "issue". At first I was worried, but when I realized that it does not affect functionality in any way I stopped worrying.
It's in the lower left part on the bezel below the screen and it manifests as a bit of a flex when I press that part a bit harder. The screen is not loose, it just flexes a bit under the finger.
i am starting to worry about general build quality...
and still no response from samsung.
that is a manufacturers defect. you should be able to return and exchange it.
How do I make my touchscreen work with a stylus like in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEdLhRzGi-U
I've enabled the "high touch sensitivity" option, but it only seems to work with objects that are conductive (ie metal).
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Menu> Settings> Display> High touch sensitivity (all the way at the bottom) is the correct setting. And yes, this is a capacitive screen so it will require conductivity. If it was resistive you could use pressure from most objects.
Works for me with ski gloves and any metal object but not empty plastic, ceramic or wood. Basically, I was able to replicate the video exactly. The plastic bottle must have a liquid in it (yogurt, water, milk, soda, juice and even lotion all worked. Super Glue and White Out did not.)

You have crushed my dreams of using the back of my pen as a stylus...
Anyways, thanks for the explanation.

LOL, sorry dude. On a side note, I have one of those hard rubberized stylus things for the Nook and the back side works twice as good as the soft rubber tip. Nice clean lines and you can see clearly as you write.
I'm going to keep trying things and see what sort of free/cheap household items work best.

Hey, i've noticed that the earpiece on my s4 scratches way easier than on my s3. It's due to the fact that it is slightly more raised off the front glass than on the s3. Is anyone else noticing small scratches on the earpiece?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Same here,
The chrome like ring around the earpiece easily scratches off
Enviado desde un Samsung Galaxia S Cuatro LTE
Tried to scratch mine with no help, still intact :good:
Don't try. It should scratch easily with reuglar use..lol im also seeing it scratched in alot of review videos if you look closely...in my opinion the earpiece on both the s3 and s2 were less sratchable...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I already tried, even with scissors :silly:
NO scratches whatsoever, maybe I was luck and got good set of earpiece :good:

Yep I got a scratch already on the metal cover for the ear piece. I also notice that the second and third little hole (from left to right) seems to be clogged or a metal part just underneath - oh an the last one too. I even attempted to unclogged one of those holes with a very sharp pin and that's when I notice they are not clogged. Those holes look just look clogged but it's just components under the grill.
I got massive scratches on the first 3-4 days of use on the camera metal ring. It should be made from the same material on the sides.
Same here also got scratches on the camera grill!

I did the same thing!!! Also dust keeps getting in there so I keep sticking in things to clean it lol

No I do not own a flex
Anyway when I put it screen down on a flat surface and touch the corners it starts rocking.
How to describe better.
One finger on left upper, one on the right down corner and touching once up once down. (Or the opposite corners, has to be diagonal)
If you have the same issue, your should feel it.
It does not distort the screen, but not sure it won't get worse in the future.
Anyone else encountered this?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I have this but it's because I manually replaced my screen and did not have something to put in so t wouldn't rock but since I use a case that covers the bezel it's not a problem

In my case it's the glass that's bent. Not like it's lifted, but deformed. Not sure how it really happened. Maybe the original quick window cover... or just having it in my pants

Maybe heat? or probably sat on it that made one side of the screen cave in? lol
Always have it in the front more like the heat... btw I would not even notice it.. just by accident I tapped one corner and it was not touching the table...
