Broken Note 4, MMC_Read Failed & More - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've been visiting this forum for the last 2 years now, and always found my answer, until this point.
I was a happy owner of a Galaxy note 4 Snapdragon (910F), and always took care of it. It doesn't have any scratches or real damage, never sat on it or fell down only 1 little bump near the on/of button. So i was this really happy owner until a couple of weeks ago. My phone started to freeze, restart and showing me the MMC_Read Failed message.
so after a couple of days of searching the world wide web for answers, i decided to go the the store, since i'm still within my warranty period.
Now 3 weeks later, i called them to ask about the status of my phone. The answer stated that the issues are not covered by the warranty, because falling / pressure or impact damage is discovered and the repair costs are over 500 euro's.
After the phone call, i received an email ''explaining'' the situation: My phone was bended near the volume knob.
In the next picture you can see the bend:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So my question to you guys: can this bend be responsible for the error's/damage of my phone. And can I be held responsible for this? Since i never wear my phone in my backpockets, and always treat it with care! Or is there any other possible explanation for this issue? Since MMC-Read Failed is a error that happens more often with note 4 users (as stated by google)
I hope to hear from you!
Greetings

Droid X has a splotch on its screen, changes color a bit when I press down on it

Like when you press down on your LCD computer monitor too hard and you can see rainbow like colors under your fingers. I tried to take a picture as best as I could. The phone has never been dropped and I've left it shut off for about a month since I got the Bionic.

What could be causing this??
Here's a video link to explain even further what I mean

Mine did that after I dropped it off a 15 ft scaffolding onto concrete... luckily that's all mine did... 6 months later I got it wet (didn't get the wet sticker wet) and it bootlooped, wouldn't even go into stock recovery, so Verizon luckily replaced it (I was 2 days before my 1 year warranty ran out thank God) oh by the way I was stock unrooted, never sbf'ed or anything until I got my replacement phone

My friends was doing this same thing... the Verizon Rep told him that it had to do with the extended battery being too big and pushing on the components inside the phone against the screen... he demonstrated by taking the battery door off and pushing on the battery itself and causing the same "rainbow " effect as when he touched the screen... long story short they are sending him a new phone

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen Issues - About to rip my hair out

Is there any sure fire way of resolving the Nexus 7 screen lift?
On past devices, I have tried the tightening the screws, using "make-shift washers", removing foam, etc. I am not willing to glue the screen to the bezel.
Is there a 100% Concrete resolution for this? The device that this was replacing was having touch input issues, but had NO screen lift. Honestly, this is beginning to frustrate me. I am appalled at the QC issues coming from these devices. For those that think people just ***** for no reason, and then suggest Apple, please don't. All other android devices I have received, I have never generally had any defaults (unless it was software which was fixable), which is why I am really disappointed with this. This is the fourth device I am on:
1st had screen lift
2nd had speed io, lag, and force close issues
3rd was fine for a week, and then I was getting touch input issues and the device was typing and launching applications on it's own
4th (current) has screen lift
Seriously, is there any sure fire way to fix it? Just for clarification, I just received this today, and opened it up less than 4 hours ago.
Some pictures (was unable to upload the pictures to XDA for whatever reason, kept getting complaints about a security token)

Really? Pull your hair out?
OMG
You have like a fraction of lift.
Go get your money back and buy your girl a nice dinner or a camera class (same price).
Some of you people amaze me.
send it back in, ask for a c9ok as replacement..

Irresponsive area on the touchscreen

Hi everyone,
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules. I've also searched and didn't found anything related to the problems I'm having.
As the title stated, my N4's touchscreen doesn't respond to touches on a certain area specifically the bottom area where the nav bar is. I was on Paranoid Android when it happened and flashed stock just to see whether it'd solve anything but despite the effort, it's still there. I figured that it might be a hardware problem since I did dropped the phone a couple of times. At first, it was only within the nav bar area but just recently, I dropped it again (thank God nothing cracked) while answering a phone call and the broken area just increased up to where the spacebar is.
I've been thinking about opening it and check the digitizer connection but I figured I could get the community opinions about it first. It's hard for me to RMA it because I live in Malaysia but bought it from the US last November (I'm not sure how the warranty covers anyway). If there's any options that I can try without having to open the phone, or what ever it is, just post it. I'm more than glad to hear about it.
Here's a couple of screenshots(man, the pictures are huge!) :-
Swiped downward and just above the irresponsive area.

This one, I swiped up from the bottom of the screen, you can see that it doesn't detect anything down there.
Lastly, this is before the recent drop. You can see that it's just around the nav bar area.
Thank you very much.

Seriously pissed at HTC and their lack of customer service!

Hey guys,
I've had my One repaired 5 times. This last time it was deemed warranty void because it had a little scratch on the front camera lens. I yelled enough to be heard at HTC and the authorized a full repair ( new grills, lcd, rear panel, speakers, front and rear camera) I was pleased. I picked it up today and found it would not power up, stupidly i listened to the Bell store rep who figured it was dead. So i plugged it into the charger and found it to be at 50%, the power button would not actually move, like it was bonded to the phone. I started to look closer and found that my rear camera was off center significantly. I like most of you have looked at a lot of tear down videos, and I know that there is next to no wiggle room in there. I can only assume that the asshat at FutureTel that "fixed" it didn't align everything in place before he forced the back cover on.
I'm taking it back tomorrow morning to send it out again, why they won't just give me a new one is well beyond me...

If you're annoyed at HTC for not having great customer service, there's no point telling us and not them considering they're the ones who can improve.
Thread Closed as threads such as this always seem to turn into arguments instead of the posters intentions.

Verizon S7 Edge cracked in the bottom corner....out of nowhere?

Hello all, I've had plenty of devices both recently being two Note 7's that were kept flawless and I ended up with an S7 edge after the recall but now I have an issue I can't seem to get any help on. Went out with my phone Monday while talking on it and I put it in my pocket once I got in my car. About an hour later when I reached in to change albums I noticed a gigantic crack on it between the home and back button. Obviously Samsung will I dropped it but I never dropped this device and it has been in an otterbox since the day of purchase.

I've always taken GREAT care of all my devices and I've seen online where the S6 edges had complaints of spontaneous cracks but I really hate to just say the phone cracked by itself.
I live bout two hours from the Samsung Service Centers in North Jersey and NY but can't get anyone on the phone so I can't get a price. Has anyone ever went through Samsung to get their device fixed?
I had a S4 with a broken screen fixed by Samsung. I'm in New Jersey and had to ship it to a Samsung repair center in Texas. I had Square Trade warranty and had to only pay a $75 deductible. They did a great job but I was without a phone for like 10 days.
