Can you monitor if you press down (gently) if the WiFi works? Don't use your hand maybe grab something plastic.
If it does work some hot glue might fix it. If not then you can send it in anyway

originally this happened when I dropped my Nexus 7 on to the ground. it landed on the top left portion of the device. the case popped off but nothing looked damaged. I then put the case back on and immediately noticed my wifi connectivity had greatly diminished. I was then told the connection from those clips must touch the connector which is on the cover. I bent it up carefully when all of a sudden it gave way and snapped

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but you drop your N7 hard enough to knock the cover off and your screen doesn't crack. Yet, others have reported that all they did was walk across the room and their screen cracked.......just saying.
For what it's worth i do get a successful connection to wifi. Even with the missing clip. One user mentioned to me that some people who had screen flickering issues removed this top clip (the one i broke) to fix the issue....looking for validity of this statement

yea I have heard some horror stories also...was lucky enough to not achieve any screen breakage. Lucky for me!
So I've seen many reports of this phone being one of the most fragile they've ever had, so a few days ago i pullled my phone out of my pocket and the digitizer is cracked, screen doesnt work. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what did samsung/verizon do about it.
Nope dropped mine 3 feet onto concrete and metal with a basic case the other day and it's fine.

Ouch.. i guess the physical damage is apparent even when the screen is off?

I had it in my back pocket the other day. I slipped on some ice and fell on my butt, and literally screamed oh s**t! Afterwards, I was pleasantly surprised by the miracle that my phone was completely undamaged!

I have thee co-workers that have the S7 Edge. Of the three, two have gotten broken screens, on the edge, just from carrying them in their pocket. In each case the VZW reps have advised them that they "see it all the time" and that these phones are terrible about this due to the "flexing" in your pocket. I have personally dropped mine on the floor twice now, each time with no breaks.
Has anyone else seen this? Whats your experience?

That's not very encouraging. How did you break them? Was it normal wear and tear, drops, carrying in your pocket, etc?

Where or how did you get your screen fixed? And the cost mine is broke now.
Sent from my SM-G935V using XDA Free mobile app
i had mine fixed by Samsung. its like 270bucks or something ... that includes shipping. took a week but you get it back in "new condition" ... still waterproof, the cell shops you see on corners can do a good job of fixing but they generally do not put it back together so that its water resistant.
just my 2cents
Hello guys. I am worried about leaving the phone in my pocket while I work, because my job is a very active one, on a very hot country in the summer, so sometimes I see moist on the screen when I pick up the phone. I try to turn it with the front facing the outside of the body, but not always. I maybe paranoid but the speaker on the mxp lately seems to be with the volume slightly lower.
My moto e 2015 damaged the speaker this way, and had to be replaced. I know the mxp has some sort of water protection but not much.
Shall I be concerned?
What do you guys do to prevent this?

Burn it.
No,lol. Maybe some sandwich plastic bag or a snap/zipper bag wil do the job.
Poke some holes in your pocket to let the phone breathe

Haven't thought about the holes thing. But, putting it in a plastic bag, is even worse. Assuming you were serious about the post.
These are the times I think how nice it must be to have a full waterproof phone!

More ment the special made smartphone plastic bags. I have seen them before in stores around and these bags are ment for travellers to make it waterproof. What also could help is to wrap the phone in a cotton towel so the sweat/water gets absorbed into the towel instead of the phone.
Oh! Haven't thought of that. Thank you all
When I was in a phone call, the earpiece suddenly became very fuzzy like there was a hardware issue. I have had the phone 4 days and this suddenly just started, or I just discovered it. During my troubleshooting, I noticed it was the way I was holding the phone. I was holding the phone with my pointer finger near the power button and by just applying light pressure, it caused severe interference with the earpiece speaker. I could actually feel the bass and vibration from the ear piece through the back of the phone.
Sadly, as happy as I am with the phone, this could be a deal breaker of this is a total design flaw. Can anyone else confirm this issue? Basically press with your pointer finger around the power button and see if it causes interference with the ear piece. Feedback would be appreciated.

Seems to be caused by, or made worse at least, by wireless charging. My initial guess is the magnet in charger is screwing up the earpiece.

OK, exchanged my phone for another G6 and I'm having the EXACT same issue. When I'm on a call and there is the slightest pressure applied around the power button, the earpiece sound becomes extremely distorted. Having a cheap plastic case on it causes distortion, too.
Can anyone else confirm theirs does this, too? Make a call (voicemail or something) and while listening apply slight to moderate pressure various pressure points around phone.
I highly doubt I received two duds in a row.

No case, no screen protector. Nothing different. Just happened on a phone call today... Middle of the call too, not even from the start

My G6 also started acting up like that also a few days ago. The earpiece while on call was distorted when I press my finger at the back panel. The distortion doesn't happen when I hold the phone by the sides. Did you get to fix yours?

I have a camera lens protector from Nillkin. I have a Spigen Thin Fit case. However, I also have a DBrand-like skin at the back. I found the problem. I think the skin added thickness while combined with the case. When I removed the case, the distortion disappeared even if I press the back. So in the end, I just removed the skin. No distortion even with a case.
I still think the back plate of G6 was poorly made. It shouldn't be like that even if the phone is kinda squeezed.

So after experiencing just this, I did a little investigation. It would turn out the plastic causes interference with the speaker. The technology used is interesting, because the "speaker" for the earpiece is not directly behind the screen on the front of the phone. The speaker is actually behind the camera. The phone channels the sound internally towards the earpiece. The plastic causes vibrational echoes which disrupt this "channeling" or redirection of the sound from the speaker to the earpiece. The case is not the culprit, it is the plastic over the area of the camera. The case merely causes enough pressure to initiate the disruption.
Crazy, huh?

Damn. That's crazy man. But I still have the camera lens protector on. I didn't remove it. The disruption is gone though. Did you have any screen protector for the camera lens? Do you still have the earpiece distortion?
Having the piece over the camera only didn't cause issues, but any piece over the glass back of the phone did.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
I have a case and screen protector and have never had any of these issues.
Have you guys found a fix for this issue?
Yesterday I applied dbrand skin on my phone and noticed the same issue. If the back panel is pressed while on a phone call the ear speaker is crackling.
It doesn't matter if the call volume is high or low and it doesn't matter where I press the back panel. It seems to be in random places, like closer to the bottom of the phone or the power button.
While this is not a big deal, it gets very annoying when you are on the call and place the phone between your ear and shoulder to make both hands free. At that time even a little pressure from your shoulder causes massive sound distortion.
lg g6 ear speaker
Certain cases you use on the G6 will make the ear piece speaker sound like a buzzing bee. I can attest to this owning three of these phones. As one of the cases I bought will make which ever phone I move it to would make it sound like a bee. BZZZZZZ.
The one one particular has a soft rubber inside and has a hard shell outside that slips over the inner piece and then squeeze's
the the sides of the phone to hold on. When I switched case or removed buzz went away. So it has something to do with either too much pressure on the back of the phone, or is blocking something else. Not sure but just by sliding back the hard outer shell it went away. Hope this helps. Its probably not the phone. Thought I would re-edit after making some new observations with my G6's The phone earpiece will definately start buzzing if you apply pressure to back of phone just below the power button any where from 1/2 inc down. Let up and it will go away.
ohh thanks daredevil i'm not alone... My speaker start this issue few days ago(After water cleaning)buzzing like heaven fart... My first idea--: water kill but i read this topic not 100 water damage..
I couldn't stand that buzzing bee/crackling sound with my phone, so I sent it on warranty. They replaced earpiece speaker along with inner back cover (the one where wireless charging part is located in US models - mine doesn't have wireless charging). I got the phone, tested and.... damn that crackling sound is still there... So I sent the phone next day back to the service. Got it today and to my surprise the buzzing sound is gone. Even if I put pressure on the various parts of the back panel, including the area underneath the POWER button, there is no crackling sound.
Funny thing is that, engineers in the LG service couldn't reproduce the issue the second time phone landed on their desk.
This means the fix in my case is the mystery.

I had one on mine I had cut it out of an old protector. One piece covering camera and lenses. Phone was buzzing on earspeaker.
I cut it in half and left open the part so that the flash is not covered. Works better now.
I had the same problem with my phone. Whenever I had my hands full and I tried to hold my phone with my had and talk the sound would get distorted. I sent mine in for the repair, when I got it back it was partially repaired. I could still hear the distortion, but it wasn't as bad and more pressure was necessary to cause it.
