Anybody experience this. I mean when I tap on my Nexus 4 back glass it makes a crack noise like something is loose inside. The sound come from the side of the camera and flash. Is this nfc, camera, or flash that shaking inside? Do I need to go to the service center. Just to be cleared, It's like there is a marble that shaking inside.

Do a search dude. This had been covered a million times. It is usually the camera and nothing to worry about.

I've noticed 4 distinct 'scuffs' or 'stains' that appear to be under my glass. I don't know how else to describe them. I didn't notice them when I first got the phone, but you can only see them at a good angle where there's no glare, so the may have always been there. Now I can't *not* notice them. I'll try to post a picture tonight, it's a bit hard to photograph. I think if someone has it they would know what I'm talking about...
Does it kind of look like a gel substance underneath the glass?

Hmmm maybe.. if I took a micro-drop of gel or glue and pressed it.... i'll try to post a pic later tonight.
its the oleophobic coating peeling off i think
Okay here are two pics of two of these things. I have four of them. I scratch and rub them and nothing, as if they are just beneath the surface...
From what I'm seeing it just looks like a scuff or scratch. I had a palm pixie before and it had the same markings on it.. Idk what it is.

I had something similar on my previous Nexus S. I think it's made from steam settling under glass.
I am on my second handset (Sprint) San Antonio, TX and both have had screen issues... I did notice something quite similar to your issue on my current handset but mine resides closer to the ear piece and camera... besides that I'm also experiencing the keyboard ghosting issue very visible when I open my notification menu.... I'm kinda hesitant to get a replacement since thus far my screens issues have only doubled ...

He is correct, mine is doing the same thing. Look at it this way, at least the top of your screen isn't separating, mine flexes'and'goes up and down under minimal pressure and makes all kinds of noise, its weird.

I think this seems to be the most likely scenario from my google research and comparison of other pics. Ugh. Hopefully it won't get worse. What's the replacement/repair policy? Call Samsung or take it to Best Buy ? It's been over 30 days.
Definitely not scuff marks, I keep the thing in a sock and treat it like gold.
I am currently on hold waiting for a rep at Samsung.....it has been 1 hour and 45 minutes and I have not talked to anyone... so if calling Samsung is what you opt to do ... get yourself a samwich and a six pack before hand!!
So I finally got through to a rep.... and they said...
JK... I gave up after 5 hour hold.(seriously) ...and decided the issue was minimal at this point

I have similar problems, except it'll only show if I breath moist air on to it. If you cover it up with a decent screen protector, it should go away unless the mark is really deep.
Hi I got my nexus 7 on Tuesday and yesterday I felt like there were some loose parts, but I just ignored it. Played around it more today and felt funny like the glass is coming off.. and just now I realized the glass is indeed loose.. from the casing.. I feel like I can literally take off the glass if I wanted to...
Does anyone else have this problem? What should I do... it doesn't affect the screen in any such way though. Everything looks fine on screen.
Except that when I play with it the glass/screen can be pushed and I can hear a crack sound like the glass is being clipped on to the casing..
OK like my left part of screen I push down and then pops back up ,making a clip sound.....
What do I do?

Sorry just found some posts on same problem.. but what's the solution? Refund? Replacement?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It sounds as if you have the same problem as many others. I presume the solution would be to go RMA it as others are doing. Or, if you're the brave type, you can attempt to fix it yourself by tightening a few screws inside, instructions are somewhere here.

I would get a replacement. I get minor screen separation but only like a sliver over the Grey casing but nothing major.

The left side of my glass is loose too, not a lot. How long do we have to RMA ?

Do anyone have creaking in the Nexus 4 if do is it worth a replacement
Are you talking about cracking with the speaker or with the glass.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I have some creaking in two spots on the sides. One is located above the volume rockers (which is pretty loose) and the other is on the same side but towards the bottom of the phone. If everything else is working perfectly on your phone, I don't think it's worth an RMA. Slap on a bumper and you'll never notice the creaking. Plus, it doesn't hamper any functionality on the phone so it's a minor issue imo.

i have noticed mine creaking as well. mine is on the back where the lg logo is, on the side where the power button is by. if i put any pressure back there it creaks. i was worried it might be lose but i figured they might all do that. lol

i had the annoying creaking on my phone too. i tried fixing it by opening the back panel and checking it but there is nothing that i could do to make it stop so i just slapped a bumper on it and called it done.
My phone creaks mercilessly at the bottom where the USB port is, on either side, but even more noticeably on the right side. Like others have said, the bumper will "fix" the issue, but it's not really an ideal solution IMO. I've wondered if tightening the screws at the bottom would help/fix the issue but I don't have a T4 screwdriver :-/

It with the glass on top left but I was worried and didn't want to be the only one with this problem but google play rep said i have one year for exchange and I brought squaretrade warranty for drops and spills
I've had 3 of these and they all do it eventually.

Does it become worst over time
i gave mine back because of that and still waiting for replacement :S
Also is there a noise inside the back of the nexus when tap the back with your finger like a ding sound
Same here

Is there a solution of that creaky noise at the bottom near the USB-Port? Btw. where does it come from this creaky noise? Hollow space?

I figure it's not worth an RMA. The replacement may be the same. Anytime I apply some pressure I hear some "sticky / glue" sound. It's just not worth RMA'ing if my device is working as it should.

I agree with you as well. Its not worth the RMA. I'm sure they all will do it over time.

Mine is creaking, right above the volume rocker, have a poetic bumper on, still notice it, and it's annoying but not worth an rma.

Mine has a slightly different issue. If I press on the back glass in roughly the middle of the phone (maybe below/left of center, slightly), the glass deforms a bit (you can see it in the reflection) and the phone makes a light "pop" sound.
I think it's the edge of the bezel deforming slightly on the left side. I can see it move slightly (the black plastic side comes out a fraction of a fraction of a centimeter from the silver part).
have the same problem. I will replace it if the problem becomes worse. but as of now it's only creaking. I have speaker problems and will replace it soon.

There's some permanent smudge on my n4 screen, upper right corner.
It's very visible on direct sunlight, and when the screen's off.
Hard to explain it, looks like permanent fingerprint
or some missing layer on that part of screen.
Any way to get rid of it?
That's strange man.. Have you tried anything to clean it with? I etched my back glass a bit with some acid at work.. I used a bit of car wax and it took care of it..

I don't feel it when in use,
I don't know if it's on the top layer of the lcd.
what do you recommend I clean it with? car wax? any popular cleaning solutions for lcd?
I know wax sounds weird, but it's a safe yet aggressive way to clean it.. Use a soft micro fiber cloth, just make sure it's not a compound/wax... Worked for me at least...

I've got exactly the same problem on mine, except mine goes all the way down the right hand side. Phoned up Google support and they've given me an rma. I'll let you know how it goes.
I've seen some nexus 7 owners have had their devices replaced for a similar issue.
Looks like your clearcoat or whatever they use for protection on top of the LCD came off.
I looks like one of the shiny things behind the rear glass have cracked.It's on the bottomleft, near the screw. I've had a xtremeguard screne protector on for a long time - I always thought it was an air bubble. Now that I removed the screen protector, I can see its under the screen.
Would google rma this? Or does it count as a "broken glass" ?
Pssh. That's not even close to minor damage. I wouldn't even consider that broken. It's not going to affect the phone's internal guts. Common sense my brotha.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I just hope it doesn't develop further
Personally I wouldn't worry about it. Not if Google would RMA the phone. I've read people RMA their phone for less.
