have you guys notice small gap between the glass and the silver plastic rim around it,visible only on bright environment..
i've noticed this on the first day. My friend said he read something about this on other phones to. I'm guessing its because of it being glass. It is design to protect the screen so when you get a bump on side it will not break the gorilla glass. I think

Might be true, maybe its for design purposes, in mine its only noticeable on the top area, but when using the phone normally you will not notice it because of its black color..
It's generally used as a seal to keep dust from entering the phone.

Silver? Mine is smoked grey metal

Yeah i just noticed it on mine. Wonder if we should be worried about the screen popping out of the frame or something. The gap is more prominent on the right side of the screen when looking at it. Top and bottom has no gaps. Hmmm...
Mine looks like it has an equal amount of gab and some dust that settled in.
its made like that. like what someone said above, its to protect the edges of the glass from shattering.
The glass on mine is a bit off centre, cant see it unless looking right at it in light.

I had the same glitches. Down and on the left side of the screen. Got the screen replaced by Samsung. The frame and the screen is stuck together from the factory. Now it sits really tight.

So is it a factory defect then? Unit seems to be working flawlessly though and no screen glitches
I noticed a tiny little gap on the bottom most part of my screen and the frame. It's not very visible, but it seems to be collecting a little bit of dust.
I never noticed it before reading this thread.
Greetings everyone!
The other day my wife's bag fell out of the car while she was exiting without either of us noticing. Inside that bag was her Nexus 7, which I promptly ran over with my car.
Much to my surprise, everything is perfectly functional as far as I can tell. Bluetooth, WiFi, Brightness settings, OTG, charging, etc... all great. The only thing I ruined was the screen of the thing.
Knowing the cost of a screen replacement, I think I'll forgo getting a new one. (I gave her one of my other N7s so this one is now a hack-device!)
My question for the fine folks of XDA is a two parter:
a) How can I safely remove the shattered screen bits without causing further damage?
b) What would be a good material to place over it once I have it removed? Glass? Some special plastic?
My idea is basically to end up with a non-touchscreen device and use OTG and ADB to maneuver around in it.
Thanks in advance!
I take it only the touchscreen glass is cracked and the LCD is OK?
If the surface of the glass is cracked but intact, just cover it with a screen protector. If the glass has shattered, you will have to carefully cut the LCD from the digitizer as the two are bonded together. Since the LCD is very thin, you might crack it.

I've experimented with a cracked screen. The lcd assembly is bonded over its whole area to the glass. The glue is softened by temperature (too hot to handle) but I was unable to separate a small piece. It's possible that heat + solvent could work but as bigbop says there is there is a massive risk in further damage

LCDs typically use a metal frame to hold everything in place. I have removed the guts of the LCD from a frame in order to make it easier to remove the frame from a digitizer on an old PDA. It may be possible to do the same with the Nexus display but you will have to remove the tape around the edges of the display away and bend the small clips holding the guts in place.
I think the frame is only bonded around the outside edge.

Great tips guys, thanks a lot. I'll post some pictures of how it goes if it works out.

So what happened?
So... I just noticed this odd hump on my N10,and was wondering if it's unique to mine (damage some how??) or a flaw? Or a design?
On the lower right corner while in landscape mode, where the glass meets the plastic, the plastic has a... Bump. A little ridge. It looks almost like the plastic got pushed into the glass... And bulged up a little. But the plastic is hard enough, I don't think a fall could've done it. And I haven't dropped it...
It looks like it happened while the plastic was being formed... Here's some pics. Anyone else have this mystery ridge?

Someone else has reported this in the past I believe; can't recall the exact thread though. Looked very similar.
Huh, I look couldn't find it. I'll keep my eyes open though. At least someone that's been around here longer than me remember something that might be somewhat related to this. Lol
Thanks!

that suck... return for exchange if you can.
i don't have it on mine though.
That really doesn't look right. Not only do you have a raised ridge that shouldn't be there, it looks like there's a noticeable gap between the speaker grill and the glass. On mine, there's no raised ridge, and the glass is flush to the surround all the way around the perimeter - no gap at all.

There is no gap... Just bad photography.
That's just my screen protector.
That's the thing... Everything is flush and tight... There's no wiggling, no creaking, no scratches even... Just an extra bump.

Ah. Good there's no gap. If it's solid in all other respects, I wouldn't worry.

Anybody else have this on White version? Only on the right hand side. It feels like the back cover has a small gap between it and the screens bevel. I don't think it's the back glass but it could be.
Anyway, there is a definite gap being closed when squeezed slightly. The noise is plastic rubbing on plastic.
It's freaking annoying as I'm right handed and I can feel it vibrate in my palm on top of hearing the "squeak"! My wife has a Black Nex4 and has no gaps, squeaks, nothing.

I have a black one and it does the same near the middle. This phone looks good but honestly the quality sucks the plastic creaks at the bottom near the USB as well but I've learned to live with it not a big deal for me since the rest of the phone is awesome lol

Hello
I have just bought an S4 i9505 two days ago (used) and I noticed as a moisture effect (maybe air bubble) under the glass screen at the upper right corner of the screen. Anyone know a trick to remove it? Thank's
PS: It is not due to the protective film
Looks to me like the adhesive holding screen has gone/screen started lifting from casing. Might need to take back under warranty.

Looks like the screen may have been replaced at one time. It may be the picture but the speaker mesh looks sunken in and gapped between the glass and housing. The way the screen is assembled originally is the glass has a thin sheet under that is almost like a flake material and it looks like it's separating from the glass.
