Does any else have a battery cover that creaks a bit when you put pressure near the top of the right side? I am sure its just due to the fact its plastic instead of metal, but its one of those little things that will bother the hell out of me if I am the only one who has this problem...
Mine seems totally fine, I just tried to get it to creak with no luck. Do you have a screen protector that it may be rubbing on?
I noticed it too. I guess as long as it doesn't slip off easily, it should be fine.
I haven't noticed this; however, in order to take the cover off for your SIM, battery, and sdcard; the right side of the phone is a pressure point (at least on my phone) to help free it from the clips holding it in place when you want to pull it up. Mine doesn't creak, but I do notice if I put some pressure on it there is a bit of give. HTH.
A little bit off topic but yesterday I rooted my girlfriends Aria and I automatically took the back cover off because I thought the procedure would be similar to my Incredible. After I was done with the root I left the back cover off and tried to make calls and send texts but nothing worked. I had no service until I put the cover back on. When I looked a little further it seemed like there were two contacts on the back cover that must serve some purpose. Is this true?
I was a little shook for a minute....Thought I ruined her phone!
The antenna is in the back cover...
Well there ya go....thanks.

yea mines pretty solid no creaks
I have the same problem with mine. It's on the same side too. I got a case from the ATT store and its gone away. Makes the phone more sturdy for me

I have the same issue ,, but in the top left corner... it is really annoying...
Yep, top right corner creaking here
As many times as I've had the back cover off swapping between SD cards though it was only a matter of time.
Has anyone else noticed this? On the bottom right corner of my GS2 (Just next to the back key) the glass is visibly raised, In the other three corners the glass sits about .5mm below the bezel, in this corner however it sits about .5mm above it.
Light from the back key bleeds across the screen very noticibly, and is also visible around the bezel. I can press it back down into the correct position, but it usually rises back up within moments.
I'd rather not have to send it back given it was bought in the UK and I'm from Australia.
I have not noticed anything like what you have described so I think it's a bit faulty. I would suggest you return it!
Aired from my SGSII using XDA App.
After I reading this thread I started pushing at the area where the OP said was loose.
It does kind of feel flimsy at that area. This might be a design flaw.
That area feels fine here, i would defo send it back for repairs if you can.

In my case the bottom right corner is nor raised, it looks like the other three.
With my previous screen, it seemed to be a bit raised but the new screen is perfect (Knock On Wood)
Service Center is always the last option. Post a pic here before that.
Mine is not raised anyway.
Hi had the same issue with my screen, bottom right was lifting. I think the glue sticking the screen down weakens. I got a case so it's not that much of a issue.

Samsung Germany didn't replace it because of that, so the only option is the Service Center and 1 Month no Cellphone
Or you really disassemble it yourself ^^
I experienced it with my i9003.. Only it raised on the top right corner.. Sent it to service center and got it back exactly 5 days later..

I haven't heard much about it so I thought I would ask here. The back glass on my phone when pressed on lightly will give a very tiny bit and creak. Not what I expected based on all the reviews about the high build quality. If it's common I don't mind dealing with it, it's a minor issue but if it's an anomaly that might indicate poor assembly I will get a replacement. I know the back glass is very thin compared to other phone with a familiar build so I wouldn't be shocked if it's common. Anyone else have this?
To anyone that has the squeaking issue with there device its most likely just the back is not put on correctly. I had the issue and fixed it by unscrewing the back and putting it back on one of the sides were not pushed in all the way. Now I have no issues and is enjoying this amazing nexus device.

No nothing here. Be careful with those screws. Might void warranty.
I have the same issue here. especially if it's plugged in... every move makes it squeak.
But I was so happy to have one that I didn't think about shipping it in for a replacement.
And I can't open it because I have no torx screwdriver -.-
Same here. There's a creaking when pressing the front glass near the usb connector.
Yeah, I love the device so far, that is my only issue. Not worth sending it back, if I can find my Trox set maybe I'll take a look inside. I don't really notice it in day-to-day usage. Thanks for the suggestion Backslash10.
Only squeaking for me is the volume down when I press my finger on it and go down.

I had a definite creaking problem on mine, but I fixed it by opening it and adding 7-10 strips of 3mm side electrical tape to the inside chassis. This fills up the roughly 1mm porition of extra space I had, and my Nexus is now quite solid.
I've noticed if I press on the back on the left hand side I get a slight click. No squeaking or cracking. A single solitary pop. I'm not going to add tape or anything as it really isn't that big a deal plus you might void your warranty.
I only hear squeaking when pressing where the screws are

My power button is squeaky. When I press the lower half of it it squeaks. Kinda wanted a perfect device but I dont want to exchange just cause of that... ugh!
mine makes noise around the screw area , like when i push in the chrome trimming at the bottom
Mine has a slight "rattle" sound if I tap the back casing in the middle right at the top under the plastic trim around the phone. I'm not that bothered by it. Love my Nexus.

This is normal, its just the auto focus camera making the noise.

I can confirm I also have this problem- squeaking/clicking plastic bezel on the bottom end next the the Micro USB port.
The defect is best reproduced by holding the phone via the top and bottom edges, and then again with front and back at the bottom- which creates a clicking and popping sound.
I have sent my first Nexus4 back due to this issue.
Opon receiving my new device today, I quickly confirmed that the problem was still present with the fresh device!
I intend to also RMA this device, and hope I'm third time lucky!
This level of build quality it pretty much unacceptable. Surely this can't be a design issue or surely Google would have picked up on this? Or maybe LG just have quality control issues!
Going through Google's returns process so far via telephone has been painless.
Good Day
My gf's white I9500 has a tiny bubble (or what seems like one) under the screen of her phone.
It is not showing on the pictures I take so I will try my best to explain it to you.
The phone was purchased on Saturday 14th September and she noticed it on Tuesday evening. There is NO screen protector on the phone.
So it's located towards the top and slightly left hand side of the phone screen.
It's quite small probably 1-2mm
When I press it, it seems to disappear but reappears shortly. When I blow on to the screen to create steam as if I am going to clean it, everywhere around the bubble streams up except the actual bubble. When I run my nail across the screen I feel maybe a slight bump.
In my opinion I feel the last coat on the glass was a thin film which was not put on properly due to dust or an air pocket.
Has anybody seen this or have an idea of what it is and what has caused it?
Samsung should clearly cover it because it seems like a defect

Take it back from where she bought it and ask for replacement. They will check it and if is a manufacturing defect (which 100% is), she will get a new one.
Ask for replacement if that tiny bubble really bothers her.

Yes samsung should replace it but so should place it was purchased from. Next time remember to post under the questions and answers section.

hey milan188, did you got your gf's phone replaced under warranty?
I noticed the same issue about one week after I bought my phone.
But on my device, the bubbles appear and disappear without a trace. I couldn't establish a pattern or a reason. See the attached picture.
those seem on surface of the screen so maybe the screen protector causes them ... especially if they aren't permanently there ...

I forgot to say I removed the screen protector and the bubbles are still there, unchanged. It's something wrong with the samsung amoled + gorilla glass combo.
Today is expanded, see the picture
LE: later it went away, slowly. This time it responded to pressing on the glass of the screen, the more I pressed, the more it dissipated away slowly.
It's like the glass hasn't been applied properly from the factory. But why is it appearing randomly? Why do the air bubbles come back?

Get Samsung to repair it. They come and go most likely cause of pressure? Most of the time I guess this bubbles appear is cause the loca is being spread away but when pressure is pressed against it the bubbles go away? I'm not sure but just warranty service it and get it over with.

Does your S5 battery door creak/squeak when you put pressure in certain areas?
I have one that does creak/squeak when you put pressure where the Samsung logo is (under the auto focus), and another S5 that doesnt.
Does yours?
Put a good amount of pressure - is this normal?
Is your snapped on properly?
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Nope, mine doesn't make any noise at all when I put pressure on it. Like eyecon said above, you sure it's on securely? If so, perhaps there's a defect with your back cover. But yeah, that's definitely not normal behavior.
Ya if it squeaks, I'd get it exchanged since it may not be closing and snapping in properly, thus negative the water resistant seal

no issues here, my battery door is strongly in place. But i do have some doubt about the rubber gasket in the back, if you guys want to take a look at my thread and post your findings it would be greatly appreciated

U should get it exchanged with warranty.This should not happen.

Mine does. I went to the store and asked for another to check on it and it did the same thing in the same location (in the middle of the power button side). I switched two covers on two phones and all combinations were with the exact same problem. Guess a bad batch or who knows what. It's driving me crazy . I'm waiting for my UAG case which I guess will cover up the issue.
Mine does. And it irritates me like anything. Going to the store to get it replaced.
Anyone else with this problem?

If you have it go to your store and change it.
I have try that in the store and my was fine, but try it on the spot, so you don't have to go back again
I have the same problem and the Samsung support mean to me, I must send my phone to the Samsung repair. They are crazy, I don't like to send the complete phone to change 1 back cover, next week I wend to the provider where I bought the phone and then I see, maybe they'll change the cover
Yup, have that too but it doesn`t bother me a bit. I use a flipcase or s-view case anyway.
My wireless charging back cover creaks like mad. Worse place are just below the power button and above the camera lens.

A phone that creaks bothers me a lot.
Today I started to notice this on my s5. It's mostly on the right side, but it can squeak a little if pressed in the middle. It's not something that is very audible but what worries me is if waterproofing is compromised or not.
Also, it's fully snapped on and o checked that multiple times
EDIT : Just noticed that pressing on the heart rate area, the case gives in a bit and has a small gap. I poured a bit of water on top of it to see if it would leak a lot of water (haven't used the phone on water or tested the waterproof before) and after i take out the case a bit of water entered through there. It wasn't much, but maybe if it was submerged in a bit more water it would leak more inside and i don't know if it would reach the battery or not. Is it normal for water to enter there? Or is there a problem in the case?
Also, in most all of the inserts the cover clicks when i put it back on, except on that right side that i mentioned. Funny enough, the water leak on the heart rate sensor is on the left side of it.

Anyone can tell me if this is "normal" or if i should take it to warranty? Is a back case even covered under warranty?

Mine creaks on the right side as well, and I made sure the case is fully snapped all around. And just like yours, in most all of the inserts the cover clicks when i put it back on, except on that right side. Its annoying at times, but I learned to ignore it most of the time. I wnot bother exchanging or returning. Had the phone for couple months now.

Its something that only a few people seem to experience because i haven't found many reports of it, only a few. Probably some batches of phones with a production problem or not so good quality control, i don't know =/ But i do know that all the clips are snapped on or at least look like it.
I actually contacted Samsung about it but got the generic and expected reply to take it to a repair center to analyse the phone - which i didn't. My main concern would be any problems with waterproofing, but i just putted on a case and don't think much about it now actually.
