[BUILD Quality] Slight spacing between Glass and the metal boarder..Anyone else? - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hello Guys,
My two weeks old TF got some build issues as most of the TFs which not really bothers me.
One thing bothers me little more, There Slight spacing between Glass and the metal boarder..Anyone else? On the HDMI port side. The spacing is not too big but I can see for example the silver metal part of the HDMI port if I look carefully.
Anyone else got such problem? Should I send it to warranty fix? Or I should just ignore it? If it got no technical bad aspects on my device's life I dont care keep it as is... And if one day I have some major issue which prevents from me to use it I can ask them fix this gap by the same chance...
Whats your thoughts?
Thanks!

I don't have any gaps, but i do have lines of white glue in the join at the bottom.

i have the gap by the bottom port as well. Same as the guy who took the pic

Sure, I've got a similar gap to that on the right side of the screen... it's not like it's a huge issue though :\ it still runs perfectly.

Mine too
Mine had a gap around most of the LCD. On the volume button side I could see the inner workings of the power button and volume button through the gap. When I sent it in due to a power button issue they replaced the LCD due to a bad pixel. No gap when it came back.

I emailed asus in israel this picture asked them if its ok and can danger the device due to exra needless holes \ gaps.
Besides its looks bit weird i dont mind it works cool!

Loose screen

I dropped my phone and destroyed the screen a few weeks ago. Fortunately I was insured, they agreed to fix it and I got it back inside 10 days or so. Problem, the damn screen was loose at the top corner - you could fit a fingernail in easy. So, more than a bit annoyed I called them up and they apologised, said they'll pay for the postage and they'd sort it out.
Sent it back and they just returned it with the same damn problem! I can lift half the screen out of the case if I pry my fingernail under the (already loose) top edge - see attached photo. You can push it back in place, everything works fine but it works loose if worn in a pocket like normal.
Clearly their engineers are incompetent and I don't know if I can be bothered to return it AGAIN to find most likely the same problem repeated. Looking at the inside it seems that it's just a bad glue job - I can see sticky stuff that's meant to be holding it in place. :silly:
My question is - could I just reglue the screen in there? Does anyone know what kind of glue to use?
If it's covered by insurance get them to fix the problem at their expense as if you glue it yourself you would render insurance invalid if any other problem happened they wouldn't fix it as it would be voided because you glued it yourself
*Sigh* - yeah like I said - send it back a 3RD TIME? I really think they have trained chimps doing the repair work.

[Q] Verus Iron Shield - Are buttons a dealbreaker?

This is the best looking N4 case I've come across so far but I'm hearing of complaints of the power and volume buttons being too stiff. Could it just need some time to be broken in?

Deal breaker. And it's huge as well. Going to return mine
Do you have another case in mind?
I'm still waiting for the s view cover to be back in Stock so I can use the 50% off coupon from Samsung. I also have the caseology bumper frame case. Pretty good
I just put some tape on the inside of the metal bumper where the felt behind the buttons is. gave it a little more thickness and now it is a little bit better, but still a bit stiff. The reason for the stiffness I think is because the rubber case it self, does not have cutouts for the buttons, so you are pressing through the rubber case in order to press the actual hardware buttons.
Actually I just checked it.....I left one piece of tape on the Inside of the bumper, on top of the felt, and put 3 pieces of tap on the inside of the rubber case where the markings of the buttons are.
Now it is super good. I cannot get the "click" for the volume buttons, but I do have a nice "click" for the power button. Also, very responsive compared to the way it was before.
Cant go wrong with quick and cheap mod such as tape lol especially when it makes a heck of a difference as in this case

Bubble under glass

I got my note 4 day after launch and yesterday morning a bubble showed up under the glass on the left top corner of the screen At first I though it was the screen protector that had a bubble underneath but after taking the screen protector off it is actually under the glass. The bubble is about half inch long by 1/8th inch wide or so. I couldn't find any info on anyone else with this problem. I went to Tmobile and they sent a replacement phone out right away. Anyway just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. There is no damage to the glass or screen just a bubble under the glass. XDA wont let me post photos in my posts yet so once I'm over 10 posts i'll put some pictures of it up.
Looks like glue wasn't cured right. Were you able to "push" bubble out by pressing on screen or is more like cured glue separated from glass?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Pressing on it doesn't make the bubble go away or change shape in any way.
be good if some way we can see a picture.

There it finally allowed me to post photos.
yeah that's a strange one! Only thing I can think of is that it was there when you first bought it, but it was too small for you take notice until it got bigger!
Exchange!
This is the adhesive that fuses the LCD panel to the glass digitizer separating. Definitely a factory defect and definitely get it exchanged. This should not be happening.
Mine is separating in the same spot. Can only see it when the light it on it just right, hasn't gotten as bad as yours yet

Another home button thread

Just wondering if anyone's home button isn't 100% tight? Mine makes a tiny clicking sound if I tap it and wiggles ever so slightly. I don't want to return it for that reason since everything else about the phone is perfect, no tint, no dead pixels, Sony sensor like I wanted, etc. but I'm just curious how everyone's is.

Thumbs up for Breaking Bad reference.
Looks like this was around with the S6 too, lots of Google responses including this one which just solidifies my decision to keep it:
This has ALWAYS been the case with the Galaxy series of phones.
I had 7 replacement S4s, YES 7!!! Because each replacement I got had a fault be it pink tint, green tint, banding on the screen, wobbly power buttons, wobbly home button etc
I finally gave up on my 7th handset and made do with a defective power button as it had a near perfect screen.
So basically, I would rather a wonky home button than half a screen that's pink.
Think twice about sending in for replacement.

As long as it doesn't get worse or break down the road I don't care. There's no rattle, just a tiny bit of play. Not worth gambling on another device I reckon.

stain in bottom of the screen

Hi,
I recently noticed a mark on the screen. It's only visible with light colours (especially white, with black the mark is not visible at all).

I did not find any similar case on the forum or the internet.
It looks like when AMOLED display are burned (like in JerryRigEverything videos).
But, it's LCD panel here...
From this video https://youtu.be/zuq2uPAEmeM?t=211 , the mark seems to be at the same level than this "copper bottom circle" :

Any idea ?
I've got a very similar 'stain' that is most noticable on a white background but never looked in to why it is so would be interested to find out what it is too! Not that it bothers me much and in fact apart from that it's an A grade phone as no scratches etc but as it had the stain it was reduced to C grade price so I only paid £90 for it which was a bargain!
I think the stain is glue and the spot on screen is caused by pressure. Hotspits can also cause such effects.
There were flat tvs, where the heat of the two SoCs on the mainboard (the second one was necessary for motion compensation, in single core days) would cause two squares appear on screen after the tv had warmed up.
I've just noticed a very similar stain in the same position in my LG G6. Lucky enough the two years warranty ends in two weeks haha, so it's already at the store and I hope they get it fixed soon.
