I just received my dhd, and I'm noticing that the top glass is giving in just a tiny bit. It's not that I can see it as much as I can hear it.
I'm reluctant to send it back as I need a working phone at all times. When I had the nexus one it had a.similar issue which was fixed by blowing hot air on the part of the glass that was ggiving in. Would this work here as well? I don't have a blowdryer so I'll need to borrow one when I can.
It seems like pushing it and holding my hand there for a min only helps for a little while. I'm assuming hot air is needed?
Help is much appreciated.

If you got it from a mobile shop then take it back and ask for a replacement. If they say they have to send it away ask for a temp replacement phone till yours returns, most shops have temp phones they can use, they just dont like to do it.
Me personally, I would not like to use a hot air gun on my phone, but you own it so its up to you.
Good luck,

I have the same issue when pressing the top right .. you can hear a small click sound ...

Has anyone noticed their back camera lens start to peel off? The top of mine pops up ever so slightly and I can push it back down. It'll sit for a while but come up again no matter how long I hold it.
Maybe I could some how heat it up enough to where the glue melts that I can hold it in place. I ordered mine online and really don't want to go through the exchange process. It would be like taking your baby back to the hospital after he's born for another two weeks.
You sure thats just not the protective plastic the a500 comes with ?
No, its certainly that black peice of glass (or plastic) that's over the lens.

That sucks! Did it just happen or did it get hit or was maybe left in a hot car or something?
I know you don't want to but I think its best to return it.

I'd like to see a pic.
It isn't the lense that is popping off, it is simply the plastic covering. Mine is popping a bit as well, think I'll crazy glue it down.
Yeah, its not the lens but I wasn't about to put "plastic camera thing is peeling" in the subject lol
Here's a picture

I really want to exchange it. I ordered mine online and picked it up at my local bestbuy store. I called the store and they said I couldn't do exchanges in-store for an online order. Bestbuy.com says differently. I emailed them both hoping to get a definite answer.

Wow. Discovered today that if I push on the back camera, even the slightest pressure, the camera doesn't work. The camera app shows a big green screen. I'm starting to think that it isn't the glass frame that's off but the whole camera module it self.
Add just a little more pressure and you can see distortion on the display opposite of where the camera is placed. There must not be anything between the camera module and the LCD.
Definitely sound like you got a defective model.
I wouldn't suggest anyone start putting pressure on the camera housing to test. It's not like they were built for anything other than it's normal function and day to day stresses.
agentdax5, return it however you have too. I wouldn't try and fix it or make it any worse. Just package it up and send it back.
Exchanged it today no problem but it looks like this one has the same problem...
Not as bad as before but still. Almost makes me want to return it and wait for a Galaxy Tab 10.1

I'd take it right back then on the next exchange, open it up in front of them and check.
Thanks for the advice. I should be going back tomorrow. They had 3 left when I went, hope they don't happen to sell them by then.

A total of 3 exchanges later i finally got one without the lens peeling!

I guess I was just lucky, no peeling here.

My device is in service because of that. When the new one has the same problem, I'm a bit pissed of. In my country this device costs 600$...
Whoever told you that was full of BS

I ordered my A500 online and picked it up at my local Best Buy. When I got it home it had a 1.5 inch crack running across one corner of the screen. I took it back the next morning and they swapped it out (after I convinced them I didn't break it). There was never any question of how I ordered it or if I just came in and picked it up. You should report whoever at that store told you that to the manager, and if it was the manager report it to the home office. Times are tough enough without stupid employees running off customers over BS like that.
I don't have this problem
Tried to apply pressure to the rear and front camera while the photo app was open and no mishaps. As for surface peeling I've not had any such issues and frankly, after inspection, have a hard time seeing how any such problem would be possible.

mine is identical in the fact that its peeling. i just push it down might get some double sided tape to put it down better. no biggie.
Hi guys,,
I'm really happy today as I got rid of the newton rings from my tab's screen
The steps I took to fix the screen:
1- Hardly throw the tab on your bed and repeat it about ten times
2- as soon as your done from that you will notice that the newton rings had disappeared, run as fast to the fridge and place it there,, make sure you arrive to the fridge before having the newton rings showing up again
3- keep it for about 20 min
And here u go
Good Luck,,

How do you know? I contacted Samsung support and they fixed my tablet which had newton's rings.
Not so difficult , I just took it to samsung service center and they changed the Display in one hour only, the new display has a different quality and no issues so far. (Indonesia-Jakarta)
But the problem is I got my Tab from amazon (US),, and I'm living in Bahrain,, does anyone know how much it will cost me to fix it ?

I've got the same problem, my Tab comes from US Amazon and i live in Ireland.
I thought the procedure would be more like: 1. Open window. 2. Throw tab out window...
I found moving to a higher altitude and cooler climate made them go away, but when I came back home, the rings returned. So I sent it off for repair to Verizon.
Solution!
I caught the famous newton rings two days ago after 2 months of ownership - and paniced at once. I read about all the disappointed users and returns and repairs. And decided to do the same. Got a ticket from the berlin workshop, that officially repairs for samsung. But i like experimenting. So i followed some leads before sending in. Put it in the fridge, warm it up on the heating. Both had no effect. At first. Disappointed, I let it lie beside my keyboard and continued working. When i looked at the 10.1 after 40 minutes again, the stain, that measured 2,5 * 5,5 cm in the morning and rather grew bigger when trying to treat, was shrunk to 1*3 cm or so. I did not trust my eyes. After another 10 mins, it was only the size of a fingerprint. And then - the whole screen totally went back to completely normal on its own. No rubbing or pressing could change that development.
My conclusion, and i can not believe, that samsung has not published that quickly and clearely, is that it is a moisture-problem. The weather these days is moist and also, i worked with the tab in moist surrounding lately. The "healing" set in, when i had the tab heated up to ca. 30 - 40 degrees celsius and then let it rest for some time with no cover in a dry room at 20 degrees celsius.
Try it before complaining, if you can live with thecircumstances. I do not know, if the replacement-screens of samsung is different, new at all or only dried by samsung... i will not send in mine anymore.
I can confirm, that the healing by administer some heat is permanent and also by doing the fridge and the heating again after the healing, i could not provoke any stain again.
Good luck!

Dude how many threads do you want to fill with the same rubbish ... And for your information. It isnt moisture, but display layers which overlap due to deformation caused by heat and pressing.. So heating or pressing does not help. Fridge or just waiting to cool off would have helped though.

Well, just wanted to make sure, everyone that searches for can find the info.
It could be an expansion - recompression phaenomenon, but why is it that temporary and why doesn't it appear whenever the battery becomes hot.
There must be something like whater vapour or air pressure be involved too. Even if it is not moisture, that can be forced out,
Something is gone, after heating the whole tablet up and coolimg it down again slowly.
Coud be only tension, but i doubt it.

It is air. And as I said. Heat influences the displaylayers, so they expand and touch each other at some point. Cooling them off resolves the problem. If you put heavy things on your display (ie. during transport inside a bag) this could increase the problem, as the layers get deformed.
Put a couple ice cubes into a plastic bag (or whatever container to prevent water from leaking) and place it on top of the ring. The temperature drop will cause the screen to contract and pull it out of contact.
Worked for me
What do you think about using suction effect with a sucker for glasses?
This maybe would work on newton ring to detach the glass layer from the other lcd-layer.

Not much: since the reason for the rings seems to lay behind the screen (swallen batterie?), when the suction goes, the pressure from behind reappears...

WHAT? You have done this?
Dude, the reason the newton rings leave is because they are heat related. So you could do what your doing and break your tab in no time or you can just let it sit on the bed for a while and the same result with occur.
Use your head.
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...
I was out running today and had the phone i my pocket. When I stopped to switch song I saw that the screen had gotten a large crack. The phone itself was lying nice in my pocket without anything else. The touch is not working at all anymore, so the phone is not usable.
Is there any way to fix this?
I have a cell phone repair shop in California. I've fixed a few oppo find 5 for customers. I charge 185$ which includes the part and Labor. If you are interested let me know. You can always mail it in and I'll send it back when done. I'm top rated seller on ebay. So your safe
