Let's see what is happening with the Arc S housing, do you have any cracks like some of the original Arc owners?
Please vote and let us know after how long did the crack appeared and if you use the power button a lot (some people say that it may be the cause).
I use the home button to wake the device and I have a widget to turn it off and so far no crack on white Arc S.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that cracks in the housing never were an issue with the white Arc? Wasn't it a pure black housing problem?

Take it to your closest local Sony Ericsson service, they will fix it for free if your warranty is valid

I hope that Sony has taken a lesson and that we will not see those cracks on future models by using better quality plastics!
Mine has cracked too...
It's barely noticable but definitely there, under the sensor. I've been extremely careful with how I handle the phone, I just woke up one day and found it like this.

Your device is the perfect example that it isn't caused by the user, because you have a case on it when I see it right.
Oh, on the white ones the crack sucks even more, because you can see it more clearly than on the black ones because of the black plastic under the white paint
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I heard somewhere that the power button may cause the crack because of the continuous pressure to the infected area and after a lot of use, that's why I prefer to use a gadget on my screen to turn it off and pressing the home button to wake the device. Only time will tell...

I hate the power button, you have to apply a lot of pressure and I am convinced this is the cause.
My brother saw mine before he got his and uses a swipe down to lock screen, have hardly touches his button and has no crack.
Almost every arc and arc S I have seen has a crack.

I am very sorry to hear that... Do you have warranty? On my ARC S I have GelaSkins so can't see if there is a crack yet. Do you use a Lock button often as some people say that that can cause these cracks?

Yes, she is using it a lot
I have a Midnight Blue arc (not S) so it might be irrelevant here but I've owned it for a year and there are no cracks so far. The way I press the power button is using my fingernail so it won't exert pressure on the body, that is if the said pressure is what's causing the problem.

Hey there, ive had my arc for about 2-3 days now, love it so far everything works perfect but today i noticed that my menu button has a creak to it sometimes when i press it a certain way ( say a little bit off the centre of the button)
..is this normal?..does anybody else have a similar problem with the same if not a diff button?..
I don't have the creaky button but i do have the battery cover creak. Maybe it's because it's brand new when the button will be more used they'll stop creak...

not 100% sure, but mine does creak when I press it off centre.. however I think the noise is the sound of my thumb 'sliding' along the button?

I just noticed today that there is a bright line at the bottom of my screen. Tried changing wallpaper rebooting made no difference. Not sure if its a burned line on the screen now. I have attached a screen shot, any suggestion or test method I can check would be greatly appreciated.

Lol can't see it which means its probably something wrong with your display

If it's the display itself that's having a problem, you need to take a pic of it using a camera. A screen shot is just a capture of what's being projected on the screen, not the screen itself.
I had the same problem after a screen replacement on my phone which I originally broke the screen on. I would suggested taking it back to the store for a replacement handset.

that's exactly what I have right now. A really bright thin line. this is a canadian bell sg 2 and I have rooted and unlocked with chainfire cf-root using zs kg2 kernel.

Restore to stock firmware and reset the custom rom download counter using a USB jig.
Well as many of you posted you had flawless Nexus I pulled the trigger but for my horror I got a Lemon.
First I thought I had only the screen lift but after two weeks It have started to develop Screen Flicker and the slightest screen bleed in the right corner... a black pixel line when I open a hard task or its charging something.... the screen not responding and the ghosting :banghead: to my other horror I can't return it cause my father bought it to me and I'm in Mexico so no return but I wanted to know what are Software related and what are hardware related

So the Screen Separation is Hardware as the Screen Bleed
But the flicker, the sudden line that I just see like one a day and the ghosting that goes away with a reboot are all hardware?! The HTC titan had the ghosting too and with an update it went away

Well actually the screen flicker can be fixed by running a script. Look for the thread that says screen washout out fix. It will disable the nvidia smart dimmer. And the screen lift can be fixed' Google it . And not sure what the this "ghosting" is.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent White Tapatalk 2
Well first I don't know if when going from homescreen to homescreen and seeing the icons going from side to side it looks like it leaves a trace behind that disappears after a couple of milliseconds and I don't know if its just an animation or ghosting.....and second is after being in my social homescreen the white parts stay onscreen in the background until I reboot but that only happened once and never again

IIRC you used the clamp and heat method to try and reactivate the glue. Best of luck, but that approach has been temporary for most users.
And you telling him to Google it would almost certainly lead to him fiddling with the screws, which is even less effective than the clamping.
Here is the only fix known to work. It's a delicate procedure and I wouldn't recommend it unless your lift is severe, GalaxyDev.
Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully you can see past these flaws and enjoy the tablet as is. I'm sure this device is a rare sight in Mexico.
The only reason why I considered that is because my screen lift is so minor, its like a hair lifted so my guess is the adhesive needs rebonding.

Hey guys,
I bought my nexus 7 a few days ago and noticed a very minor screen lift on the left center side.
After examining it again today, I think I might have an extension of the screen lift.
Is anybody else experiencing the same problem?
Yep...

yep, dont even bother sending it in..it'll come in worse shape(ive sent it in twice, first time the glass came back pretty much separated, second time they fixed the separation, but killed 30% of the touch response)
I've a case that closes kinda tight (blue-rex slim case)
My screen separation has been better since I first got it.
If it's the glue getting warm, then the case is holding it flat until it cools?
Mine started with a lift on the left side. Today I'm getting creaking noises on both sides if I apply light pressure.

Yup, gets consistently worse. My one now has so much give on the left hand side that the plastic creaks and clacks together as I hold it.
I'll be RMA-ing this thing every few weeks for the life of the warranty I think.

Ah, ok. I was under the assumption that it was a gradual issue. I do get a line that flashes through the screen periodically. Is that the screen flicker on this tablet? On my s2 it doesn't look like that. I just want to make sure I have a good device. Every time I buy something I always find out later on that it's the one with the bad screen, bad emmc, or bad whatever else lol

I've had screen lift since day 1 when I got mine from the preorder and mine hasn't gotten any worse. I haven't tried any of the fixes for the separation for fear of stressing the glass. But I am tempted to glue it.
Where's everyone getting their C9 from? I only see C8 everywhere I go.
i sent mine back as soon as i noticed it, new one is fine
I was walking down the street. Get a notification. Go to pull it out of my pocket. Snags my coat and slides right to the sidewalk. Only dropped two feet at most cuz I kinda fumbled it with my other hand. Quite irritating as there is no way to fix it but to find a new chassis or buy a new device. I'm usually so careful. Never dropped a phone before. Seriously ever. I'm super ocd about the condition of my devices. I dunno if I can handle looking at the little dings for as long as it takes to afford a new device/parts. Might post pictures later if anyone cares to see the results of a standard pocket to concrete drop. Luckily no cracks or scratches in the glass. Tiny dings and tiny tiny scratches on the back.

Any scratch on Front + Back screen? (With Protector/ case)? Picture would be great and thanks for sharing.
I did not have a case on it at the time. There was a small ding on the front glass but removing the OEM film cleared that up. The rear has a few tiny dings and itty nitty scratches. The aluminum frame has a couple dings. Nothing that most people would crap about but most of us here at xda are kinda nutty about clean devices. I'll post photos as soon as my wife comes home.

i could see it happening easily enough myself. this is the first phone iv had with a shiny back on it. my last phone was a cheap samsung so the plastic makes it easier to grip. it would be even worse with cold hands id say. ill probably try and get some skin for the back of it when they are out, something with a bit of texture on it would be better. and it would cover the logo too!
what does the screen feel like with out the screen protector on it? its just regular glass? and did the logo come off?
The logo did come off. Its kinda cool. The glass underneath feels harder and less slick I guess. It's hard to explain but the glass underneath doesn't grab fingerprints and oil and dust as much as the film did. Also when there are finger prints and smudges you can't see them as much when the display is on. I took the film off my xperia ion as well.
