Ha ha ha... the home button, take a look again!
Ok this is funny
Had the phone about two weeks already.
I just noticed now when I was cleaning the screen, that the home button looked a tiny bit bubbly (for want of a better word). I thought, hmm wait a minute that doesn't look right.
Sure enough, on really close inspection I could see that the button still had a bit of the plastic clear cover on it! LOL managed to get it off and the button and phone look that bit better for it
Enjoy...
PS how many of you out there also didn't notice and still have the plastic on it, out of interest post back

Ha Ha same fault here Ha Ha Ha HAH!
Noticed it right away when I got the unit from the store but I believe some people users never noticed this even after a month of owning the device.. relatively the same with those who are blind to the screen issue
I noticed it after a few days, but had the same thoughts about that in mind.
I knew it looked a bit weird... didnt know it was a sticky till now ^o^
I noticed it straight away but I guess I'm half blind. No screen issue here.
I noticed it on the day I got the phone, but decided to leave it there.
I had the same on my Sgs I and noticed it right away, but on my Sgs 2 i left it there to prevent from scratches
Nice, I just scratched the edge of my home-button, trying to get a non-existing film off... Guess mine never had it - but what I have now, is a scratched home-button jesus...
Hahaha im using this device for more than 1 month n noticed it just few days back lol

Hello everyone
Well, I've had my Galaxy for about six weeks now & I'm deeply madly in love with it, best phone I've ever had.
Yesterday I was playing some games on it with my friends, GPS, WiFi maybe Bluetooth were on, it was charging as well, then phone started overheating, it got hot, like very very hot, but we didn't stop, minutes after that -believe it or not- it started melting down, it was even possible to reshape it with my hands, I then turned it off and unplugged the battery.
Scary ha?? I can swear to you guys, this is the worst nightmare I've had in months, yep, it was a dream a bad one.
Sorry to scare you guys, but, c'mon, I mean Melting Down!!! Anyway, when I woke up, I was so happy that I kissed my Galaxy

Once my captivate was sitting in a black sweater in the sun while it was 110F degrees and it became too hot to touch. No surprise there though.
Lol nice story... Freaked me out at first though...
Same here
Hahahaha nice one
Mine fell or something, can't remember exactly what happened.
At first there was just a small crack. No biggie and I didn't really worry about it.
But the next time I looked the crack had grown to a bullet hole. I could look through the hole. Now I was really worried! Would the guarantee cover this?
Indeed one of those dreams when your happy to wake up.

FREAKIN BULLET HOLE!!!!! this is so awesomely awesome but I can't follow u, is it dream?? or did it really happen
it would be a good story too, just tell everybody that some assassin tried to snipe u, and ur beloved SGS jumped and took a bullet for you, touching ha?
this story is not far from truth
did you guys see the previous 2 topics about this issue?
one was made by me, then just the last 5 days there was another one
this phone does gets really really HOT when used at max speed with or without the charger, it gets hotter if you keep it charging.
Did you played with SetCPU?
Having nightmares about an OC fail into 4Ghz, c'mon, .. it's a phone for crying out loud!
Not a bad dream ....just a bad experience ! Meltdown!!!
for no obvious reason my completely STOCK razr hd melted down while i was showing someone how one would boot into recovery even though mine had no recovery i got the android exclamation then powered down from there once powered down it began to heat up drastically to the point of me watching the inside of the audio jack melt then me not being able to even hold it.obviously the phone is ruined and i feel pretty discouraged considering i had only had the phone about 3 months does anyone have any idea why this wouldve happened ? also does anyone have any old android they would want to trade for a melted down razr hd cause i need a phone maybe a 1st generation atrix or something similiar seeing as how i also have the lapdock ..thx in advance..jsn
Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box

When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.

I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol

I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.
I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.
Is it just me, or does anybody else find themselves occasionally holding the phone upside down and firmly pressing the speaker grill? I know it's offset, but still unfortunate positioning!

Knock on wood...Haven't happen to me yet (1 week old)
I had that thought, and when I first got the phone, it happened 90% of the time.
Then I bought a 6 dollar case off ebay, a rubbery-like one. And now the unlock part has a raised bump. Now I never do.
This thread has been amusing lol... glad to hear I'm not the only one who did it. My biggest concern was damaging the thing, but it doesn't seem to be too fragile, fortunately. Like others, I got used to positioning/feel of the actual button so I haven't done it in a while.
Guilty as charged. Ive done it about half a dozen times. Lol at this thread!

I'm not getting any squeaky, quirky or "cracking" sounds on mine, it's very sturdy and tight. Maybe you got a slightly defect one. If it bothers you then you should obviously return it.

+1 - nothing like this on my a500, had it for nearly two months. Trade it in.
Make sure all corners are snapped firmly in place. Like others have said, just return it and get a replacement if there isn't any obvious fixes to your issue.
no creaks, squeaks or otherwise here, as others have posted, if you still have time, exchange it!
Thanks guys, good enough, I gonna replace it even though there is no gap and looks tight but something is wrong cuz every time I press it cracks like something is not snap tight.

I probably did get that one which you have returned. ;-) The same noises in the upper left corner. Unfortunately that is a big pain in the ass to replace something in Poland. BTW it is 530 USD to buy it here. Anyway is the new one free of that cracking sound??
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I have only seen 3-4 people complain about this so it seems to me that it's a very rare build defect, probably just a bad batch of plastic somewhere? Of course, what I have or haven't seen is just anecdotal evidence, but I'd feel returning it and getting another one should have quite good chances of actually getting one of the good samples

I did the same with light fluid (paint thinner, fingernail polish remover, anything that has some alcohol) after it started peeling off somewhat. This was several months ago. I do have to warn you about the excessive scratches that appear now. They are quite minor and I have had my G2 since day 1 of its release. And yes... it will may be shiny but it does get fingerprints like the display now.
Mine went off by itself after 10 months of heavy use. i am pretty mercyless with my devices though...

I can't believe you guys never realized it before. Mine started peeling off a long time ago, so I just scratched off the rest over the course of a few days with my fingernail. "Mod" . . . ummm sorry no.

It is a mod. Your changing the phone from its stock look to something CUSTOM. yea it happened by accident. So what? The nexus s we had a bat door mod where you basically do the same except use sanding paper to give the door a black brushed metal look. Not only that I've only had this phone for 2 weeks.. sorry were not leet enuff for ya to figure this out ages ago AND NOT SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF US! lol some people lol always someone hating for no reason lol :-/

Scratching off something that is already peeling off is "custom"? You go on thinking that, bud.
As to why I didn't come on here and share this knowledge? Well, I thought it was pretty obvious that something that is scratching off (the clear coat) could be . . . . scratched off (TA-DAAAAA!!!!)
Its not stainless steel, anyway. Its aluminum. When I first read the thread title, I thought it was some crazy mod where you made a new battery cover out of stainless steel, or some kind of S/S coating. But . . . its not.
Although, I do appreciate the fact that some folks on here did not realize they could scratch off the deteriorating clear coat. So I agree that this is a useful thread. But I'd use something softer than a nickel (or other metal), to avoid scratching the brushed aluminum while you remove the clear coat.
Most of the material is off my panel door as well, just haven't taken it all off yet. But, it scratches up really bad, so be prepared for it to look pretty beat up after some time. Still though, it looks much better without that finish on there.
