I've had my TF300T for a little over two weeks now and I have notice some strange marks appearing on the screen.
At first I thought it might have been scratches because I didn't have a screen protector, but I have never put anything on top of the glass or put it flat down. I have the keyboard dock and have always put it back and closed it to keep it safe.
I first noticed a little bit of creaking toward the middle and top of the left hand side.
I was cleaning my screen last week and I noticed some very small arks about 1-2mm each going down the left hand side in what seemed like a row. Worried I might have scratched it I went and bought some screen protectors and applied one immediately. However today I have noticed that some of the marks have started to appear over the right hand side. Now I know they are not scratches because it is under the screen protector and they were not there last week when I applied it.
They are very small, and look like tiny cracks and you can only see them under certain light conditions. But the strange thing is they are all going in the same direction.
I have attached a picture I just knocked up in photoshop to give you an idea of what they look like. They are not this obvious on my tablet but it's just an illustration.
Should I be worried?

If you're using the dock, are the keys scratching it?

The black/metalish coating down at the stylus is starting to come of on my trinity after just about two weeks!!!... Anyone else here who have noticed the same?

<- Can someone tell me how this picture came in this post?!!??
[I put it there. V]
Same here!
I have the same problem!
Very annoying considering how much the device is - this is the only negative that I have about it.
This is where a silicone case would come in useful. None presently exist for the Trinity, but then it is only a matter of time.
can someone post a picture of the problem. i am also thinking about getting a dopod d810 soon in the new year and I would like to see how serious the problem is....
yep a photo of the problem would be great.
Have you tried getting the phone replaced?
I've sent the phone in for a service to see what they have to say. But HTC will most likely deny that this is their problem... *argh*
I will post a picture when I come home.
Sound as the same problem with the Wizard after a few weeks you can peel of the coating on the side also (think wet hands).
Check out the attached files...
BTW: mine started to peel off on the front too... This is crap! *argh*
Did you drop it or was this from normal use? I'm a bit worried now...
Can a black sharpie or something make it look better? I'm interested to hear what HTC says!
humm, mine is still perfect after 2 weeks
No dropping or anything. I've used it with care, even though I'm a bit "fast" when I take out the stylus, but I mean a unit like this should be built for that kind of use. (and I don't have any long sharp nails either which might actually be a killer for the paint.... )
btw: what is a sharpie? Some kind of "make-up" stick?
HTC should offer to replace the phone.
I would be pretty alarmed if they didn't.
Sorry, Sharpie is a permanent marker
Google it
hi guys,
that looks pretty bad. it can only get worse if its peeling like that. get a replacement. it seems the gloss coat isnt bonded properly to the case
Peeling off here too....
Well I have this problem too, but its merely visible. The interesting thing is: It looks like there is shining metal under the coating. Can anybody confirm this? I wouldnt mind to have the bottom piece looking like blank metal.
I think there is a dark, semi-shining metal below the coating.
Still waiting for a reply from the service center.
OMG they seems to painted the bottom part of white Trinity case over with black paint on top.. semi-shining metal coating you guys seeing is what bottom part of white Trinity looks like in fact.
Just took a look at the white trinity now.. And you know what SecureGSM? You might be right... Or maybe it's just a coincidence...?
I know that there are many variants of the galaxy S but there ive seen some models of the I9000 having a vertical square shaped L&P sensor such as this

whereas mine has a horizontal oval/circular shaped L&P sensor. Any thoughts?
Mine are horizontal (not like the pic). What difference does it make anyways, lol.
the 2 dots are side by side
that will be horizontal
the picture is vertical (top & bottom)
if you are asking this question because you are concerned about the Screen Protector, then there's no need to worry it works, even if covered
Side by side here (horizontally)
side by side here.. could just be a mistake in the drawing of the i9000
Horizontal for me as well.

Had a screen protector which was to my horror vertical! ive not seen the vertical varaint myself though.

did you see what i said on my original reply?...
yeah, just trying to warn people to check it out first as it was really unsightly.
Now im using a screen protector which covers everything except for the home button and speaker and its so seamless i dont notice its there

i prefer the ones that protects everything except the home button
i prefer no screen protector
this kind of glass doesn't get scratched

It DOES (if you apply enough pressure).
i agree this phone screen is basically scratch resistant. The back cover on the other hand is horrid, and has many scratches... Dropped it a few times on asphalt and the phone front looks band new but the back is starting to show signs of wear and tear.

I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?
I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.
Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)
Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?
Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.
yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something
Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

Mine too and also the ones at the store. Maybe thats normal? Also just noticed my Tab S 8.4 is slightly un even.
I think its normal and not a defect

Has anyone (especially those who own Black Pearl colour) exprenced this (first picture).
At first I thought it's just some dust but when I washed my phone and looked closely, it's actually something under the glass which looks like a cheap temepered glass's border (second picture).
The difference is only some parts of them are in white, the rest are beautiful in black (or transparent?).
It doesn't affect waterproof or anything but still triggers me a lot. Is this normal ?

This looks totally normal, it looks like dust build up in the slight gap between the tempered glass and screen itself or the space between the screen and body in some chase.. this is usually noticeable on black phones.
So U are saying that upon close inspection it looks like it's under the glass?
If so, I can confirm that it may be possible, because I'm having that issue. I have a silver titanium model, and on the upper side, it seems that the silver paint doesn't go all the way to the edge on the front glass, so I am able to see the glue that holds the glass.

I'm pretty sure it's not the dust because I even sink the phone in water.

Another HD photo which I got from Internet.
Maybe it's just glass-on-black-panel thing?? Sorry for my english though.

it is just dust and dirt build up, I don't find it alarming, you can still show it to a repairer to be sure..

well yes if you are worried about the small details... I myself have the silver titanium, it at time collects thread pieces from my pockets on the sides..
My S10+ have a gap at back side, top left corner (on the side of power button). I am able to insert paper into that gap, and even my nail goes inside there with slight pressure.. but it doesnt lift up completely.. only the edges are slightly raised up if nail is pushed in and try to pull that out.. paper also stops going beyond a limit.. I dont know if it is a manufacturing feature or not because in the user manual its written that it is normal to have a gap around the outside cover of my phone. Many times water has gone inside through that gap but until now the phone is working perfectly fine. I had same issue with my A7 2018 and A50.. they both had exactly the same type of gap but at the front side bottom left corner (same position on a7 2018 and a50).. I checked in store and compared it with other a50 and a7 2018.. they all had that exact same gap and you could even push your nail inside that gap and lift up the screen to a good extent.. however on s10+ it was on back side and it wasnt possible to lift up the back panel just by pushing the nail inside.. It really feels so cheap when someone pays for a high-end device and have such tolerances or whatever for expansion/contraction.. Does anyone else have that gap as well on your S10+ ?

There needs to be gaps for expansion and contraction else screen would crack.
These gap posts have been around since the note 3 days on nearly all Samsungs. There is also tolerance levels in the manufacturing process, you may find another s10+ with the bigger gap on the other side or the front.

Actually, my phone have gap everywhere around the casing (enough to push in thin paper).. both front and back side but on the back side top left corner it is slightly big enough to push in my nail..
Looks normal to me. If in doubt send it back.

Got the same gap. Since its shape is very regular it absolutely never occured to me to try and scratch it. I hope this won't be an issue in a few months/years...
looks normal

Even if nail can be pushed into the gap, is that normal ?
