Hairline cracks around the headphone jack on my brand new Nexus One??

I've just received my Nexus One today, but found out there are two hairline cracks around the headphone jack, is there anybody have the same problem?
I had the same problem with my iPhone 3GS before...

they look perfectly straight
are you sure they aren't designed that way?

I'm thinking they're just there from the mold they used to cast that piece.

I have those too... didnt even notice it... I think its part of the hardware though from the looks of it.

I have the same; looks like it's definitely from the mold they used and not actual cracks.
You may now breathe a sigh of relief!
Cheers,
Kermee

Ditto.

it doesn't look like a defect. i was about to cut a mofo if it was.

WOW! OP, your and Id10t!
I'm really sorry, i never try to offend anyone its just that this question and looking at the pic got to me.

I got those too.

I have it on mine too. it's very tiny. I hardly notice.

wow your very kind
please excuse someone who was afraid that his 530 dollar investment was flawed.

Mine doesn't have those

If it is a crack this suffers from the same thing as the x1 xperia

Same here, got mine today

I didnt notice till I looked at you picture then my phone but yeah, it's just part of the mold.

Mine doesn't have those marks. But it does look like something caused during the manufacturing process.

ive got em... had to get a bright flashlight to see em but i have them too, and they dont go down into the jack so its not a crack

Screen flex issue. How many are facing it ?

Hi guys i got the nexus 7 delivered from staples last week. today I noticed the "screen flex issue" . Pinching together the screen and the back of the tablet causes it in one corner. I also happens if I slightly press on the screen. Just wanted to know if anyone else is facing it.

..

Screen Flex/ Ripples
Sorry for Bumping the Thread . But can some of you guys please check pressing the screen around the cornder and see if you notice any screen flex or ripples??
I am not sure whether i should return it. If is a very common issue ther no point in returning. right?
Please help.

Here's the deal. Way too many people are making an effort to search for "problems" with their tablets. It's almost to the point where it's pandemic. Every little thing is getting scrutinized. If you cleared the forum of complaints and questions about whether someone has a bad tablet this place would be a ghost town.
Use your own judgment. If the screen "issue" bothers you then return it.

So far, according to the straw poll linked below, about 50% of people who have responded to the poll have the screen lift issue.

Hi according to me something i paid my money for shouldnt come OOTB with issues . But I so badly love it. if most of the devices have this issue, even if i exchange it i will still end up with one having the issue. right?
That is why i am trying to know. If if isnt a common issue i will return it.
Plz vote and reply guys . Also if there is any fix , please mention it as well.
Thanks

My finances mom's does this in the bottom right corner. But its also only noticeable with high brightness on black/dark grey screen. Also if she moves her headphone plug around while in the n7 it makes ripples the exact size and length of the plug.

Nexus 4 build issue

Hello , I read online that on the back the nexus 4 is suppose to have the plastic edges a little bit higher than the glass for protection? is it true? because mine doesn't . it is about the same level , maybe a micro-micro milimeter higher but hard to say... Also if I apply a little bit o pressure on the left corner (Not the one with the speaker , the other one aside ) i hear a squeaze , also that squeaze is heareble from almost every point where the glass ends if I press a little bit harder... Is it normal or mine is a dud and I should request a replacement?

[Q] Screen looks weird after replacement.

Hello, everybody!
I recently replaced my Nexus 7's screen and digitizer and now my screen looks really bad.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix it?
I've tried taking everything apart, twice, to see if maybe I hooked a wire wrong or something but I get the same results.

Yeah... I'm beginning to think it's defective. I've already contacted the seller

this is what's put me off getting one from ebay, mines only a week old and cracked due to not that much thumb pressure debating cutting my losses and throwing it in the bin if this is how weak the screens are

You should really change that. There is no way that is a software issue

[Q] What is covering my front camera lens?

Hi everyone. Today, I noticed that something is covering my front camera lens.
Do you know what is that piece covering the camera? Anyone encounter this situation?
I didn't drop my phone not even once and I tried to smack the top of the phone to see if it moves, but no luck.
P.S. The camera is able to take pictures normally.
I have a SM-N9005.
Thanks

Go exchange it... Looks like a faulty device. It could be a piece of electrical tape in the wrong position.

Looks like some sort of cover for the camera.
Maybe this site can help understand: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+3+Teardown/19209
But i think @nicholaschum 's solution will work best.

Hey you were right. Soon as i posted my issue, i thought i would watch a dismantle video and presto! It was a round rubber like washer that has slipped from around the camera.
All sorted now

Hi....Can you let me know how did you get this fixed as I am also having the same issue....

Hi,
I didn't
Now, that rubber is covering a lot more and I'm unable to take pictures.

I don't think they will consider to be a faulty device and change it, although I would like a new Note 3 :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To me, it seems to be a soft plastic that keeps the front-camera in position and not to touch directly the front-panel (display assembly).
So, probably they will change/remove the soft plastic

GO to your provider an request a NEW device
Do this : Contact 1st Samsung Service in your country and tell to them the problem becouse this a factory fault phone .
After you make some papers and a proove that you contacted already the samsung Service from your country , contact your seller and show him the problem
YOU MUST proove that : you did NOT DROPED your PHONE , DID NOT SHOCKED YOUR PHONE with some other things , like drop with speed in bed trow in the pillow etc etc , proove that you did not used any screwdriver , to have ORANGE WATER SENSOR in the back under the battery STILL ORANGE and NO ROOTED PHONE .
THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR DEVICE , BECOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THAT IS A PART OF A PLASTIC THAT WAS SLIPPERED FROM HIS PLACE .
