Looking at the back of the nexus, i have flexing on the right side of this area. If you look carefuly, you can see a hole where you can stick your nail in as if to pull that material out. It's bothering me because I dont want it to cause problems later on, the actual flexing doesnt really bother me. Anyone else have this too?
You can pop that part out that covers the camera to view the details of the device

That area was made to easily pop up so you can attach accessories (like covers) to it. It's not an issue.
I removed the cover then put it back on and no more clicking noise, yay.

Anyone else having creaking coming from the bottom of the phone? The plastic "back chin" on the phone? When I use the hardware keyboard, I'm getting some mad creaking when typing. Anyone else?

Very little.
Nothing major here either.

Best Buy will think I'm crazy and nitpicking.. which I guess I am nitpicking a little bit but it's seriously annoying me. I had this same issue on my Palm Pre for a while - and they never wanted to take it back. Or even swap me the battery cover. Right now, I've put double sided tape on the area above the speaker to try and use it as a workaround. I'm going to go to Best Buy tomorrow to see what they say. Hmmm..
Or maybe I should just go to Sprint to see if they have an extra battery cover.
Seriously... if you exchange a whole phone for this... don't be a jerk.

Mine does that too on the lower right area.
The cover creaks because of the way it attaches to the phone. (Set of small clips that you have to pry open to remove the cover).
Wish they made the back a sliding lock cover instead of the pry to remove cover....
yay i finally have a white galaxy s.
Have been waiting 2 weeks or so for samsung to get the battery cover back in stock.
Am I missing something, or is it not exactly the same but with the back plastic cover being white (ignoring internals that you would never see)?

Now you only have to wipe it down once a day.
Really want but don't feel like tearing down my phone that far. I had that inside casing out on the weekend, it was a big enough pain in the ass (although probably the hardest part) and would only allow me to get at the buttons, didn't have the bezel off.
I did that because there was a gap at the bottom when cover was on, turned out that interior plastic was not sitting on the the proper support inside at the bottom, it was mushed down onto the part of that brace that sticks up more. I have had a minor drop since I got the phone back from repair but given the nature of the damage I think it must have happened when the repair centre put the phone back together. Reshaped that bit of plastic and all is right again.

A couple of weeks after getting my S2 I scratched the surface in three areas enough to distort the light coming through the screen. At that time I bought a fine abrasive and small buffing disc that attached to a drill ..... Whilst the results were acceptable.(no more light refraction) there were, under close observation, imperfections.
So recently I found a replacement part. Its a good quality front plate for the S2 and I am going to be replacing it this weekend. I have not seen any tutorials for this on XDA and wanted to know if anyone has come across a tut.? If there isn't one I'm thinking of taking a couple of photos along the way to post for people in the future.
let me know what you think?

Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175772 it should help you out a bit.
Still would like to see some photos if you're going to do this though, good luck!
Had a look today. Opened up the back and all went well. I was able to strip everything out (pcbs;mics;cameras.)except the screen. If I were to guess it's attached to the middle chassis by a glue or tape in addition to that the gorilla glass is attached to the lcd by a type of optical glue either way I didn't want to risk £100 for what is a good working phone....at this time.
Milkybar many thanks for the link.

My rear camera takes HORRIBLE shots.... but its no fault of the camera, its the *junk* plastic lens cover that is now all scratched up. This causes the camera to focus on the scratches and makes everything else out of focus (basically everything!).
And before you blame me for being rough with it... I bought it used. If I cant find just that piece Im going to try and fashion my own out of a raw piece of plexi if I can...
Best off luck with it, shouldn't be to hard to take off, it is attached to the back plate. Though mine is flawless and still takes bad pictures

The lens cover is... well its not even glued on. Its more like that sticky stuff on magazines holding papers to each other. I had to remove mine because mine was affected the same way yours was, not from scratches but from dust INSIDE the lens. I used an eyeglass flat head screwdriver, it came off effortlessly. I hear guitar picks work great for stuff like this too.
After you take it off, you gotta push hard to get it back on. Push till you feel like it might break if you push any harder, then keep it there for about 20 seconds. If you do less it'll fall off.
I couldn't tell ya where you'd find another lens cover, but I'll look it up when I get home.

Thanks guys but it turns out it wasn't just a scratched lens cover (well it is scratched but thats not it), the inner lens assy that is attached to the CMOS sensor was LOOSE! Yea, f'ing loose, believe that! I found out when I tried to remove said lens cover, to try and clean the cover internally (I figured there would be some space between the inside surface of the cover and the topmost part of the image assy.
Well turns out there is a piece of that soft sticky foam that must obviously be there to keep foreign contaminates from getting in. Well when I removed that lens cover (its stuck to the rear frame/housing with that same foam, the lens part came with it. There I was with that in my one hand, and looking down directly at the image sensor (you can tell since it looks almost like the surface of a cd. I immediately put everything back on and prayed that I didn't get more dust inside the lens unit. Well this didn't happen, I guess I got lucky, and actually the unit takes cleared pictures now, I think I pressed everything back together tighter then it was before (closer to spec I guess).
Here is to keeping my fingers crossed. I never took many pics with my last tablet (Im never without my cellphone which is easier to use) but I would still like it to work as it should...
Be careful with this part guys if you ever decide to disassemble the unit, its pretty fragile.
I know this is a stupid reply but why would you like to take pics with this crap. I mean my SE k610 takes way better pics than the tablet. And its an tabled.... Why would you took photos with it :d

ive noticed my a500 takes great close up pics really detailed and whatnot but from medium to far range its just garbage i dont know if its my camera or what
I dont take pics with it, however I would just like my unit to function as its supposed to. I also would like to to work so when I sell it, which I will eventually to upgrade to a better tablet, I wont take a hit on the price...
So I've just got a new S4, and everything is great apart from one tiny thing (I'm a little ocd lol) that's bothering me slightly. Well at least it will bug me if mine is the only one, otherwise I'm fine with it.
My camera is not completely centred within the back cover cut out. It's very very minor but is ever so slightly further to one side (left) than the other. So the chrome ring touches the left side, but there's just a fraction of a gap between it and the right side.
Looking at review pics online I kind of think a few seem to be like that but it's hard to tell.
Realistically I'll be casing it anyway so it's not a big deal...but sometimes it's the little things that bug you!

Mine too im also kinda ocd, its the same, it has a bigger gap on the right side and the left side almost has no gap
I'm using an S-view cover. No problem.
Didn't notice how it was with stock cover. Have you tried to switch the cover with another one, just to make sure is not the camera which is not centered?
No i haven't but your right it could be either the camera or the back cover that's slightly out.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Having looked at it further (and I think it's worth mentioning it's probably more obvious on white models), the camera is just off centre when the back cover is off, so it's not the cover that's the problem I don't think.
Looking at the ifixit teardown, their camera seems a little off centre once the cover is off too.
So how about everyone else? Is your camera dead centred or slightly off to one side?
Me too!
Me Gusta!
Hmm just to be sure... You guys know that there is a protective foil on the rear camera with the hole for lens. This foil can be a bit off to one side creating such effect.
