What is the adverse effect of screen lifting?

Guys my nexus 7 32gb having a very little screen lifting at the left hand middle side. It looks odd if someone noticed very minutely. There is several fix. But I did not find any data regarding adverse effect of it? Can it cause damage anyway to my device? May it cause cracking of the glass. Is it important to fix the lifting? Please advise.

You can always exchange it for a new one if u are in the return/exchange period of the retailer store.

I have a very light one on the left side about midway down. You can only notice it if you put the tablet sideways you can see the bezel dispears behind the slight lift, hasn't made a difference yet and hasn't got bigger.
I dont see why it should make a difference, but after paying quite a bit for a device you expect it to be perfect.

Build quality issue on my p6800 or opened casing?

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...

[Q] crooked camera lens?

Am u just being picky or does it look like my camera lens is crooked? Seeing as how i basically paid retail, and within the worry free gurantee i could return it. Just wanted to check withthe community before doing so.

Mine looks crooked too, but it looks crooked differently from different angles. I think what's happening is a shadow is being cast that's making it look crooked. Could just be an optical illusion. You could always stop by Verizon and compare the floor model.

I received two N3 today and the one I got from Best Buy, the camera lens is crooked compared to the one from Verizon..
Does your camera take a while to auto focus? (Not sure if it's related to being crooked. Can't test the other N3, as it's already packaged ready to be shipped to its new owner)
I'm going to exchange it tomorrow and check it out prior to completing the swap @ BB..

I dont know, but in my opinion I think it's not crooked at all. Or am I just not seeing it hahahah

I'm not seeing it either here..

I have a week old note 3 and noticed this. The camera assembly is slightly crooked/skewed to the right. Seems like a manufacturing fault, i dont think the lens itself is crooked, just the glass housing covering the lens is not glued in accurately. Camera works fine though. I checked a couple of note 3s around my workplace and almost all seem to have this defect. Cant decide whether this is a big enough issue to replace by phone or not

There is now a replacement back housing available on etradesupply for our phone.. I have since lost my note 3 and gotten a replacement from asurion and that one does not have a crooked lens..

I have a att note3 and noticed mine is crooked just a little bit. Sometimes the angle of the shadow make it look more crooked than it really is. I'm not that worried about mine though.

Mine also have a very tiny circular chip in the left lower bezel. I don't think it was a traumatic one as it arrive with it when brand new. I was gonna ask for a replacement phone but fear the new phone might be even worse with the button problems etc.

I tried to get a replacement from Vodafone Australia and they recommended me to get back to the shop to have the phone checked and inspected. I felt it might be hard to get a replacement as the chip was very tiny (barely visible 2mm max and only at some certain angle), so I accepted a $60 credit as a compensation - to get a case to cover the defect! For $60AUD I'm happy to keep the phone which is otherwise perfect. :victory:

My phone has a pretty sizeable chip on the top left corner. Never been outside a case so it can't be trauma.

Mine has a super small circular chip on the top right bezel.

G3 Build quality thread

I've had my G3 for about a week now and I absolutely love the device. I'd like to have a discussion about build quality of the device since there's some things I've noticed with my 32gb D855 model that I'm wondering if others have had also.
1) The digitizer is quite noticeable, I guess my eyes have adjusted a bit now but it is there and quite noticeable when I pay attention
2) The back plate is screaming poor quality: it is very creaky near the top above the infrared and also around the volume down key you can really press the device and hear it creaking like a Samsung device
3) Unfortunately after caring for it with my life somehow the back cover got a huge scratch..I don't possibly know from what..a fleck of dust in the air or Something but still this shouldn't have gotten such an ugly huge scratch so easily!
4) Dust/sand or dirt is easily getting into the bezels right where the screen ends
5) As mentioned in another thread I've had the spontaneous shut down but let's not delve into that on this thread
Anyone else want to share their experiences?

I think the device feels wonderful when im using it. But I do agree that one drop and this thing is gonna be in trouble.

I managed to put a 2inch scratch on the back and I'm so carefull but managed to scratch it.

Just got mine yesterday but #2 is not an issue for me. The back is very solid and doesn't have any flex at all. I am going to put a slim case on mine though and I already have a tempered glass screen shield.

Well, mine seems pretty solid so far (got mine on Monday), the only thing from your list i noticed as well is the dust at the bezel, but it's not really in the bezel, it's just sticking at the edges, because the bezel is slightly higher than the screen, that's a bit annoying, but not really bad, because it can be easily swiped away. Except of that, I'm pretty pleased with the build quality so far, looks and feels premium, just the back doesn't feel that slick, because of the plastic, but it's still not bad at all.
Oh, and the back buttons are slightly too hard to push, but that's also not a big deal.
So, great device, I'm a happy owner^^

Do we have the same device?
1: I can barely see the digitizer unless i shine a bright light into the screen.
2: the back cover on mine fits perfectly, to the millimeter. The only creaking i hear is if i try to twist the device at either end which is acceptable as its a removable cover so should have some give.
3: that is unfortunate
4: Is this not normal of all phones. They all have a small gap between the glass and phone body. its hard to avoid, but not very big on the G3.
5: ive not had this issue fortunately.
Ive found the build quality to be very good. everything fits very nicely. and its a big step up in quality from the nexus 5 which already had a decent build quality.

Had mine for 6 days, comparing this to say an s4 or s5 is like comparing a Citroen 2CV against a Ferrari, the difference is immense in terms of both looks,build quality and feel. Loving it ?

Just got mine an hour ago. I'm coming from an S4. This phone feels cheap in comparison. I'm not sure if I'll get used to not having the true black that one gets with an AMOLED screen. But hey, it's only been an hour.:beer:

I've had mine for nearly 2 weeks and it's been great. Got a slim case and applied the screen protector it came with it. No complaints here!

It really is a big difference between AMOLED and IPS screens. There completely different technologies, keep in mind though the IPS screen is more closer to every other screen you look at every day so its not like you dont use them already.

Im not liking how the G3 is get bashed around recently, if your not happy with it then i suggest people go back to samsung. Ive had it over a week now and the phone grows on me more every day. Once roms and tweeks come out this phone will be even more amazing
