If your Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet (or possibly any tablet) makes noises (cracking, etc.) when you simple hold your tablet and move your hand to another spot..I HAVE A FIX!!!
Once I realized I had this problem with my note 8, I began to research the issue on several different forums. I quickly that i was not the only one with this problem. In fact, I was one of several people facing this issue. I constantly read, that many were returning their tablet(s), until they finally found one that did not make this constant, very annoying sound. As I was unable to return my tablet, (I bought mine off of Craigslist) I became bound and determined to solve this issue! What I discovered, is so simple, and so non - complex..I couldn't help but laugh.
I discovered, that just about every single screw behind the back cover of the tablet, was NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTENED!!! I have 2 friends with the same tablet, and the same problem...guess what? This fixed there noise maker too!!
So, if you Galaxy Note 8.0 (or other device) is making cracking, snapping, popping, or creaking noises..open that sucka up and tighten down those loose screws!! (motherboard screws, charging port screws, battery screws, etc.) Once they are nice and tight, have fun snapping the backing of your tablet, back onto the device
**WARNING** **WARNING** **WARNING**
*PLEASE USE -EXTREME!- CAUTION WHEN TIGHTENING SCREWS!! TOO MUCH CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE!! USE COMMON SENSE! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE!

I have the 5110, but this should work for you as well. Watch the first 2min of this video, and dont be afraid to use a little force, just be careful. youtube.com/watch?v=4UeWDLq6_BU

thanks for the link and help I will try it soon
No problem. I'm happy to help, and I hope it works for you!
The phone has been out for most of us just little over a month and there have been many reports about front/rear glass cracking, so now I made this poll to see how many people actually have/had problems with their device.
Please note that this poll is only about hardware problems, so don't vote yes if you only had software related problems, thank you.
To be clear:
Vote yes: If you had glass cracking (with/without) a reason, flaps not closing properly, phone not being waterproof, etc
Vote no: If you had no problems, software related problems
Bump!
Don't forget to vote!
I voted yes due to a way too sensitive touchscreen - putting a screenprotector on however solves the problem, but I take it that it is the out of the box product we have to vote about...
(To the - right now 13 persons - who have voted no - does this also mean that you don't have the popping issue when pressing the screen? Or is this looked at as a feature...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JrfMjiNB9E)
Nope. I've had nothing wrong with the phone, no "popping", no "glass breaking" even though I accidentally did drop it today.
Nothing. I'm convinced most of you are playing baseball with your phones, or just being extremely picky.
Not any problem at all. This phone lives up to its expectations but i also keep it protected with case though.
i had the phone for 3 weeks. i bought a magnetic charger and was using that. last week i went to take the charger off the phone and the whole magnetic charging "module" came out of the phone with the charger. it's currently back at sony for repair - i'm really hoping they just send me a new one though. that was a fun discovery. anyway, no problems with glass or anything like that in the time i had it, though.
Not a single problem so far.
Btw, good initiative!
However, I think that since only people with glass issues post that on the forum, it's not surprising that it looks as if it's a major problem.

Yeah, that's the main reason why I made this poll, due to so 'many' people reporting issues with their phones it might scare people off that intend to buy the phone.

Hmmm could there be a connection between the popping screens and the very sensitive screens? Mine has the popping and also a screen that sometimes during internet scrolling has a life of its own speedscrolling up to the top of homepages when lifting the finger from the screen - an issue I have never ever had before on any of my many previus phones...???

Yep:

And bump.
I would assume that more then 42 people have this phone on this forum.
The plastic frame is so weak, i drop once and inside the frame its cracked . After that i use a case then dropped again this time between part of the plastic frame n front glass a piece of part came out. Rest is very good. No prob at all.

hello,
"Z3 Compact" bought the 28.09.2014. The phone is turned off itself in the middle of the day in my pocket. The battery level was approx. 75% => Black screen, not even light on the charger...:S
The Sony support told me to send them with charger and usb cable.
I am waiting for news... approx. 10 days...
NO issues so far... put a tempered glass screen protector on the phone pretty soon after buying it, but I never saw any screen popping or "life of its own" syndrom while I had the screen unprotected.
no issues so far , i had some bad experience with singapore firmware , but its all good now (using latest brazil firmware).
i did drop it a week ago , tempered glass cracked abit , phone also got abit of a spank on the top right corner, still water proof.
all good just no ****ing root
Sudden Death after two weeks.
Had this awesome phone since October 3rd. All fine and dandy till now, the vibration would work sometimes. It comes and goes but it's no biggie, I can live with it!
Gyroscope defect
Yes.
I had the phone for only 3 days and the phone suddenly stop rotating. I did a factory restore and even trying running the system test. Compass test tells me function is not available. Sony says it might be a hardware issue so I had to send it to Sony to get it fixed.
My mic has become strange. People say that I sound like I'm a mila away from it.
I have this flickering problem few days ago, and it looked like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q49Yf7inuiw
I think the cause is the heat. Been searching all posts/thread on Google and many says it's the motherboard and/or the connectors to the display.
So can somebody tell me where to buy these part? Where I can trust the seller? Thanks!
Really sad this happens to my G2, I've never thought it will be this weak. My old note 2 and S4 heats like the G2, but it survived many years. Really can't believe that this is happening to my G2.
Btw, the first problem before this is having yellow spot on the lower right corner of the screen and I think if you have that, stop making the phone from heating cause the next problem will be the flickering which starts from the bottom also.
BUMP
Hello,
I have the same problem, I changed the screen but the problem still there. I read the problem is with the motherboard. Now I have to buy a new phone
UPDATE
I just noticed when my phone is at extreme warm, it does not flicker -_-
Hi Guys,

Should i be worry about this or should i exchange it?
I was wondering if all unit have the same gap ?
Sorry for my poor English

It is a very common problem. You can keep exchanging it until you get a perfect one if it bugs you.
I personally would get a replacement unit if it was purchased new
From the look of your picture, it would seem only the one side has a gap. Are you sure the bottom is all the way in? I would try and remove the battery and re-seat the whole thing giving it a firm push on the left side to make sure it clicks into place. If it still doesn't and has the gap, I would return it.
That gap looks bigger than any other i have ever seen. Hmm is the battery all the way in? Try to push it a little to see if its all the way in. Otherwsie, i suggest to exchange it.
It's normal. If it's like the gap that i have, you only see it if you try to see it. I have on the left corner too. Can't see it when it's in a case.
I had the same issue, I knew this default and asked to change it the day one, I had a new one (perfect) the day after.
So yes, you should change it asap, for a "premium" phone you will regret.

sometimes if you push it in hard it till correct itself
As stated above make sure its in all the way.. If so exchange it just my 2 cents.

Have it replaced immediately. That's the only solution.
Yeah, common problem. I opened the box before I left the store to check because I knew it'd annoy the hell out of me. Get a replacement for sure.
It should sit perfectly flush, maybe give it a push and see if it clicks in (the connector on mine was a bit stiff at first)
Otherwise, back to the shop I reckon.
thank's guys for your reply. Already exchanged my phone. The new one is way better.
You should see my G5. Warped bottom from the phone piece, gap on one side of the phone, one side is higher than the other, screen and back are oval shaped, you name it.
Get that returned while you still can, and a warning from someone who has, do, not, drop, this, phone. It started to really mess up the build. Mine has started rattling from the battery being loose inside, a bit of electrical tape fixed it but janky albeit.

weird fact is that I have 0 quality defects right from the start
Yeah, it's a common problem for it to not line up quite right, but you shouldn't be able to see light through it. Mine lines up pretty well.
Hello, I actually have a small problem on my phone.. I searched for the solutions but I am unable to find a reliable fix.. Everybody has a quite different type of this problem..
Phone model: Meizu m2 note
Previous os : Flyme 5(stock)
Current OS: Cm 12.1 (by Moyster on xda)
SCREEN FLICKERING
Well, before I start I would like to say that my phone has actually survived a water bath.. The phone fell in the swimming pool when my friends were trying to click a pic.. It didn't switch on, on the same day, but I disassembled it completely, and let it dry for a week.. Later the phone worked completely fine.. It's been 3 months since the incident...
Well the problem now is the SCREEN FLICKERING.. I guess It has nothing to do with the water damage cause that was almost 3 months back and this problem started around a month ago, when I was on flyme 5. And nope, the phone has never fallen off my hands.. The phone works fine for maybe the first 30 minutes after keeping it idle for a long time... The screen flickers even during the bootup, fastboot, and even in recovery..
I have two Meizu m2 note in my home.. The other one is my mom's phone.. And I almost update same roms on both the phones.. And my mom's phone is working completely fine and not facing this problem.. I don't have a warranty for this anymore, but I can still give it to the company's service center.. The main reason I posted this thread is because I just wanna know if this is a software or a hardware problem.. Cause in few other threads they said that this had sumthng to do with the kernel and stuff.. I don't wanna leave my phone at a service center for 2 months if this is fixable at home..
Not the complete screen flickers, but only the upper top part of the screen..
I have attached a YouTube link for a perfect view of the screen.. The phone on the video is my phone..!

Is there any way to fix it, or i have to give it to the service center..?
Well, I asked one the senior members of XDA, and got this reply.. yes, it was helpful...!
if your phone went in a pool and you disassembled it and made it working again, you might have forgotten to re-sit the cables / cables connectors, and the more you use the phone, the looser it gets....
Considering you said 3 months (and I'll assume India is a humid country), this might be a connector having corrosion too (I know it happens a lot to my cousin in the Caribean islands).
If that flickering keeps happening even after you check cables and corrosion, I guess (considering meizu parts are cheap) your only solution is to change the LCD screen (as this is a miniature part, some water can get stuck in really tiny/enclosed space and make a short-circuit/corrosion).
Assuming this happened 3 months after the "pool drama" ( ) you should probably be able to repair your phone, the board works, the battery works, if it's not the cables or corrosion, it's the LCD display.. And if all that doesn't work, contact Meizu

I'm soo sorry I did not inform you about this! :victory:
Well, it was just like u said.. I disassembled the phone completely and found salt like white powder all over the motherboard.. Even inside the cable connectors!
Soo I cleaned it up using a soft brush with some liquid..
Blew some pressurized air with a small air gun I have, just to remove the small dust contents.. I also noticed that the connectors have turned brownish in some parts. . But..!
The flickering has almost reduced 90%..! Before it flickered all day long and now it happens only once or twice a day..! That too only for 5 to 10 minutes..!
Well it's okay now.. I didn't spend any money, or give it to the service center and wait for weeks..
Thank you @Moyster.. I wud have never even tried this if u didn't tell me to.. I was planning on giving it to the company itself.. Haha... :fingers-crossed:
