Melted corner

Hi guys and girls.
I'm familiar with the crack with the sensor. I have it too...
But know I have something what I didn't hear or read before. My right down corner is melted. (I'm now on vacation in Berlin but when I'm home I'll will post some pics).
Does somebody else have that too? I HAD my phone in a case from noreva. But I truly can't believe that my phone can get that hot that its melting...
And who is to blame? Sony or noreva?

I'd say it was the case.
Have fun in Berlin and post some pics when you're back

The sharemobile datacenter apparentely burned...
The pics aren't available...

Where is the picture?

The chrome sides are peeling because of the heat and sweaty palms. Trust me, i enclosed my arc with a silicon instead of a hardcase because of this. The xperia arc isn't made out of *premium materials* after all

I'd say the covers robs the chrome and paint off.
My Arc never got hot down there (using it naked) and the corner looks good

My Arc S only gets hot on the upper part where the camera is, an that is also the case with Arc S that belongs to one of my friends...

Same here
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I have the same too. I noticed it a few weeks after I bought my phone but didn't bother much because I keep mine in a case
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

after reviewing the pics, i say it's the case.
i only use the leather pouch since the i bought my arc last june, and so far i don't see any peeling on the chrome and paint.
all i see is the "famous" crack near the light sensor
ps. it never gets hot at the buttom area, only on upper area. i think thats where the processor, memory, vga, and other stuffs that gets hot when running heavy duty apps/games

Hi guys me again. I'm back from my quick vacation. I'm glad that i'm not the only person who had this. Its indeed strange because I can't remember when its getting hot in that place. WHEN my phone is getting hot, it is normally around the camera.
Here are some pics together. It wasn't easy to make a close up.
As you can see in the bottom right pic. My case is open in that corner even when the case is closed like on the picture.
.

Damn, that looks ugly.
But I'd say the case is the reason

That's strange then.
My Arc is over 10 months old and the corner is fine
Also it got dropped a few times

Spontaneous screen crack sg3

Hiya guys I've had the most interesting thing happen to my .sg3 yesterday. The only way to explain it is as a spontaneous screen crack! My phone just cracked by itself!! Yes without a lie! It's the most microsceptic crack I've seen and after a few minutes looking at it i decided to measure the location and it's exactly in the middle of the panel! No one believes me and people think I'm stupid. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've done some research and have found that other Samsung phones have done this but there isn't allot of info about it.

Is this really a thing? I mean that this can happen, I have never heard about anything like this before.
Show a pic of the crack if possible?

Well from what info I've gathered on the web it is very rare!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

probably because of the curved glass. Curved things tend to bend when they reach certain point. the gorilla glass 2 being thinner than its predecessor should crack easier especially when bent. Send it back to Samsung, the crack seems natural and is a Samsung fault rather
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe you. My friends AMOLED screen crached but the glass was perfectly fine on his Droid RAZR. It was extremely weird and did not make any bit of sense.

Well see the thing is i didn't even move from my desk at work when this happened! It's so so strange. What would be the best way of contacting Samsung about this , because atm I've talked to official Samsung repair people and they all say I'm crazy and 3 just told me I'm a liar and that i broke it on purpose. (As if!)

You should go to the 3 store and show them the device because there is no way anyone can make a perfect straight crack like this on purpose/accidentally.

That is what i said! I showed them the phone and they just made a mug of me!

Contact the relevant authorities.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen magically cracks..

The most "wonderful" thing happened today.
Here's the story:
I bought my Nexus 7 tablet a few months ago. I love this tablet, it's by far the best I've used. Today, I placed my tablet on my table after using it, and turned on some music on my laptop and danced around. It did not fall, didn't fly off, or run and fall down (what?). It was there the ENTIRE time. I then went back after a snack, turned off my music and decided to watch something on Netflix in bed. But one thing alarmed me. The bottom portion (equal to where the camera is on the top) had a gross crack, which extended in three sections to about the bottom half of the screen.
What. The. Heck. ??? Was what I promptly said as I stared at the crack. Now normally I'd shake it off and say "If I can use it, it's fine." HOWEVER, I can use the upper portion and some of the middle, I CANNOT use the bottom half. What does that mean? WELL guess what. It means I can't press the home, back, or other button. So I basically can't use it. Not a good idea after all, is it? I also can't type some letters. If it was in the toppish, I'd be fine with it. But this is ridiculous.
Funny, this happened before with a certain Dell laptop. Closed it. Placed on table after going upstairs. Lifted screen. Huge black gash on it.
Amusing on how cheap products are these days. For paying $199 I wasn't expecting pure gold, but this? Is it THAT sensitive? Please.. what kind of luck do I have.
Now to where I need help. What can I do now?? I sold my cracked laptop for $150, got a $50 from my Dad, and now it just CRACKS. And he woulldn't believe me after the other laptop. Now let me do say I take great care of my things. My phone has no cracks, or dents, or scratches and I've had it even longer. Is it possible to fix it? Please help. why me.. Is there some way I could move where the 3 buttons are? ugh.

You could buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. As long you can see the screen to click on things. You can pickup a OTG cable for couple dollars on amazon or eBay.
If you bought the tablet from Google store. Try contacting them about trying to get it fixed. If you bought it else where you would have to contact Asus about it.

Crooked Home button on the Note 3 - are you affected?

My AT&T Note 3 has so much play in the Home button that you could literally move it around with your thumb and it would end up being crooked horizontally in different ways.
It's been driving me nuts today since I noticed. I can have the right side be higher than the left side or lower, that's how shoddy +Samsung Mobile's manufacturing is.
Here, I made a GIF:

Looks like I'm not alone: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...key-button-moves-spen-isnt-easy-take-out.html.
Does anyone here have the same problem? If you want to test it on your Note 3, just use your finger or fingernail and try pushing the left side of the button up and the right side down. Then do the reverse. Mine feels like it's almost going to fall off.
Edit: just posted it on AP http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-note-3-home-button-did-anyone-qc-this-thing/

Yep mine too....have to take it back on monday..it will bug me lol...or worse fall off.

I think it's safe to assume every note 3 has it. A new note3 will probably have the same issue unless it was manufactured in a different batch that corrects it, which is unlikely at this point. The reason I asked if this is your first samsung device is because samsung is known not to be really big on quality control in their manufacturing process, as they manufacture millions of devices from TVs to phones to all sorts of other appliances, and having strict QC process would slow their production process (This is just my reasoning anyway). My point is this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone unless this is the first samsung device they acquire. My last two phones were samsung and they both had their share of craftsmanship defects.

You know what they say about assume. The tightness of the new button design is something I'd put on my "positive" list. AT&T white N3 if it matters.

I have the black international Snapdragon version, bought in the UK. I do NOT have this issue as far as I can see.

Mine is fine doesnt even move cant. Sm n900 vietnam batch non carrier

i droped my iphone ,4-5 feet on tile and damn whole left upper corner dented but was happy with it coz the way it fell i thought would have been shatterd

Guys, you know there are 4 external parts.
Rear cover
Mid plate
Glass
S pen
The bezel you're referring to can be replaced for about £10/$15, with no skills and standard phone dismantling tools (which are often included in your purchase of spare parts).
This is why I don't use a case, and why I think people with aluminium phones are idiots. I've bought my replacement mid-plate (bezel if u like) and rear cover all ready for the day I eBay it, or if it gets too knocked up to look at.
Rejoice in your plastic, and don't spend £10+ on a case if the only reason you want it is to protect the plastic...

Did your note's edges hit the floor?If it did then it sure is a miracle:good:

*spen, front speaker grill, home button, camera and flash
For those pedantic few, I originally left out the bits which I think you can get away if scratched.

Do not try this with iPhone.

cracked screen
After like dropping the phone a thousand times (yes, quite sometimes while being drunk) the outer plastic frame has some scratches, and the top right corner has two cracks right abovethe front camera (which still works like a charm). Not so bad

lucky. i have dropped my phone so many times..
aaand she's still pretty from the inside.
