Hi guys, I've had my new toy for a couple of days, flashed ics rom and root is running like a dream... And I'm really pleased. A step up from my last tab 8.9. However I noticed that at the top left corner there is a tiny bit of play (movement) between the screen and the aluminium casing (if I press down on the screen) . I'm talking maybe 0.5mm or less... But the other corners are solid. Also if I press the casing just below the g of the Samsung logo, pushing the casing against the screen, then there is also a tiny bit of play there too. Is this common? Or could my "used like new" purchase from Amazon have had a screen or battery replaced?
Otherwise the condition is perfect so I should probably shut up and stop complaining!!

P.S Would be helpful to hear from anyone who has actually opened up their tablet, as I am thinking this is what has happened.... Many thanks!!
I've definitely got this too on mine which I bought brand new about a month ago. Bottom right hand corner clicks when pressed, doesn't bother me much but should be covered under warranty. For the record I've dropped mine a few times, nothing major but could explain the problem.

Wow. We have the same issue. Lower right hand corner. There's clicking when I press hard.

This is a common problem, something to do with the clip design and it is on all 4 corners. Even after you have fixed it, it will come back in due time so I stop thinking about it.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same issue with my tab, albeit a bit worse -- there is a slight screen lift at the left side near the SIM slot. It doesn't bother me that much but considering that this is a premium device, I would've expected better quality...

Hello,
I've started to notice that the glass on my Inspire 4G is making a slight snapping noise and moving a bit sometimes when I press on the corners, almost as if the glass is lifting slightly over time. Once I press the corners, it is fine for a few minutes, then I can do it again, hearing the snapping noises.
I want to root my phone and install RCMix HD, but I don't want to void my warranty if the glass is going to lift off my screen in a few months. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Other than this and poor battery life, I absolutely love the phone. It's a HUGE improvement over the xdandroid experience on my Touch Pro 2.
Personally I'd get that sorted before you root. Get onto your network, or HTC if you bought it outright. Sounds like a materials defect, either the adhesive or glass. Let us know how you get on.
I believe I kind of have the same problem... but mine is when I press the top right of my screen it makes a clicking noise, I don't see any other movement in the screen it self, but yeah I haven't done anything to cause this issue.

I ended up replacing mine. The demo unit at the store did the same thing, and mine had gotten to the point where the glass was raised a good 1/16th of an inch. Seems to be a common issue with the Inspires and Desire HD's. I ended up replacing it with an atrix.
Sure hope it doesnt happen with mine Its protected by the otterbox defender though so its always keeping pressure on the phone.

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??

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

Does anybody else have this problem? If I run my fingers along the edge of the screen it is flat and slightly below the bevel which is normal. When I get to the left side about a half way down, the screen bulges out a little bit and sits flush with the bevel instead of being a little recessed. I feel like it's gotten worse since i've got the Kindle, mb like the battery is pushing out the screen?
I don't know if I'm accurately describing it. For example, if I run my fingernail from the center of the screen out to the edge, the bevel catches my fingernail except for at that part where the screen is bulging outwards on the left side middle ways down.
Mine does the same thing. I think that the adhesive is malfunctioning. I'm taking mine back to Target on Friday.

I think mine has the same issue but I couldn't notice it until I tried looking for it.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I never noticed it before but if I feel for it it's there. You can see it if you sight down the left edge with one eye. Very minor but I wonder if we are all going to start experience the "fire swell" in the future
Dammit!!! Mine does it too. Wasn't a problem until I looked for it!
I noticed mine like a month ago. It has slowly been getting worse. I bought the day it was released. I wonder if this is an issue with just the first released Fires or not. For those of you that just noticed, when did you purchase your KF?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Yeah, my kindle fire faces the same error.
Mine has it too, but doesn't seem like something to worry about.
The screen doesn't get hot in that area so I don't think it will eventually break out or something. It's a manufacturing defect.
Ok so I'm not alone. I wonder if I should get an exchange, I have a lot of dust on the top left hand corner too probably getting in from the speaker.
none here, got my kf for christmas from someone who probably bought it in early-mid december from amazon.com.

Got mine mid to late January @ BB. What it's the warranty on this thing?
Is the left side identical to the right? Its not raised at all and doesn't creak at all?? I ask because I got my second replacement today and it still has a raised left side and makes noises when I push down on it :/ just wondering if I got unlucky twice in a row or if this is normal...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
My left side is identical to the right. No creak. No screen issues what so ever.
When the left side is held at eye level I see a very small sliver which I can not see on the right. I have yet to have the seperation problem with the tablet but this is only my second day of use' I am now peeing my pants but my diaper is the fact I got an extended 3 year warranty from Walmart. So far no problems with it so I'll keep my fingers crossed
The left side of my device pushes down ever so slightly, it's not really enough to annoy me(i wouldn't even give it a second thought if it had not been for other people saying)
Its not normal, in the sense that its shouldnt be there, although a lot of people do have this problem.
Heres a fix (not tested myself) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29422550&postcount=1

Same here. My 1st Nexus had screen lift. RMA'd it and the 2nd has been perfect.

Okay I just wasn't sure if I was being super anal about it or if it really did have screen lift, guess I got unlucky 3 times hopefully the next one is good!!
I really haven't noticed anything like this with my wife's N7. I'll pay attention to it tonight and post if I notice it now.
No lift here, both sides identical.
Maybe i just got really unlucky with three in a row I was hoping it was that and it wasn't that minor screen lift was standard.. like someone earlier described, from one side at eye level, i see the silver of the casing, on the other side i just see the screen, people without screen lift see the silver on both sides??
No screen separation here so far so good
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I still think it is a misnomer calling it a screen separation. Screen is perfectly flat. My left side bezel dips down a bit. It is just plastic; no big deal. Has no effect on functionality.

I am on number 2.
I have RMA'd my original, got the second and it still has the screen lift but worse then my original.
So I am RMAing my replacement.
I will do this until I get a good one.
I flash a lot of roms and have plenty of backups. So having my N7 setup is not a thing.
The only good thing with Googles RMA process is that you are never without a N7.
So on to the next.
This is unacceptable !!!
I will ask for replacement ..
Do anyone has the same issue..??
Thanks
Yes, the top left corner is squeaking when I speak on the phone. Doesn't bother me too much though.

Mine squeaks ever so slightly at the top part if pressed too. It doesn't really bother me. I have a squeaky Thinkpad x220 that nonetheless is as strong as a tank. You can always find faults on these products, I have a feeling if I get mine exchanged for such a small thing I'll end up with a new device with something else to be bothered about.

You'll kick yourself if the replacement comes back with an even worse problem. Like dead pixels/bad screen tint.
Not in HK,,, i went to the store and open at least 2 units to choose....and of course full test ...
Got it replaced ...with aperfect one. but it probably squake again after a while....after some stress on my pants...hehehe
Anyone experience otherwise?

Just noticed bezel near volume rocker is squeaking, n I hate it.
Mines squeaks too, but it's more of the back cover than the bezel.
Might be the way the cover is designed, after a few openings, it deforms slightly?

Guy the top bezel is squeaking because of that feature in the movement settings.. The double tap on the top of the phone makes you come back at the top of the list of your contacts for example.
Try to enable that feature and press two times the bezel that is squeaking.
It wasn't like this in my gs3,but it's more sensitive now.
But this squeaking is a physicsl defect...???

I completely agree. There is no such thing as a perfect device. Everything has an error here or there. So if there is no real problem then be happy I'd exchange mine for problems with the screen or camera. Buttons too. But because it squeaks a little? I'd say forget about it. But that's just me. It's a premier device and you deserve to be satisfied. if you're not satisfied then I'd suggest getting another.

Being a long time Blackberry user in the past device squeaks were very common.
A couple months after release a daring owner would take it apart find squeak post fix in forums.
I expect the same will happen with this device.
I'm picking up Sprint Version on Thursday , If it squeaks I will post fix
