Hello,
Ive had my Pixel XL Since October. I've used it day in and day out since then. Have been very careful with it. In November I got a case for it. Made buy Bear motion. I noticed that when I would put my phone down on any level surface. I would rock back and forth. I thought it was the case, so I didn't think much of it. Today I was rocking the phone Naked and it did the same thing! After taking a look at it, I tried bending the phone from is corners to try to straighten it out. I put it back on the counter and now was rocking the opposite way. It wasn't very forceful either. I mean very little effort on pressing of the corners. I'm kind of disappointed in this as I had a Nexus 6P and I know it had a bending issue (towards the center) as well but didn't rock like this. Has anyone had this issue with their Pixel or Pixel XL? I have a couple of videos to illustrate what I saw. I hope this helps explain a bit better. Sorry for the music playing in the background!

mine is bent, i noticed the rocking the other day. I thought it was my case as well, took it out, and it still rocked. Mine rocks the same exact way as in the first linked video. A lot of people say it is an iphone clone from the front, now it rocks like an iphone lol
Haha yea. Well I think it might be from maybe sitting on it from time to time.
None here. I once went go karting with my nexus 5 and it was bent like that after it. I just bent it back lol
Your phone is not bent.
The Pixel and Pixel XL are pretty durable phones. The thing about the pixel is that from top to bottom, the thickness is slightly chaffered. Depending on how smooth and even the surface, you can notice how the thickness gets thinner from top to bottom.

Never had these issues with my 6P or Pixel XL.
My phone was bent from day one. slight rocking on multiple flat surfaces. kind of anoyying. My honor 5x is perfectly flat, alumninium build, and was $200.

. I know there is a thickness difference from the top to the bottom but it shouldn't rock like it does. It's a catacorner rocking.

I remember seeing all these videos online on how durable this phone was. It sucks that it has this problem.
I'm wondering if the people with bent phones are carrying them in their back pocket.

This. Not to mention at least 90% of all women I've known that have dropped their phone in the toilet keep it in their back pocket. That thought alone prevents me from putting my phone back there, even though it's sometimes annoying to have in the front pocket of my jeans. (The grey Google Live case is a really sticky silicone).
No bending here. Flat as a rock.

This might be the case. I sat on it while driving before. I'm going to not do that to see if that was the cause.

There's a data ribbon on one side that holds it crooked like that. this has already been brought up and pretty much all of them are like that (as far as I know) so I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Crooked here as well. The first atrix I had seemed to be straight though. Kind of annoying. Also one side of the screen is slightly lower than the other.

Same for me. I had to return my first atrix because of battery issues and it had a straight one but the one I have now is tilted. I don't really stare at it so no big deal to me. At least my battery is performing now.

To add to the build quality issues, I went through 3 units at the store an all had some degree of dust under the screen. I took the one with the least. I took a look at my cousin's unit the other day and it also had a couple of specs under the screen.

okay at least im not the only one. a friend of mine thought it was a protective piece of plastic that needed to be peeled off at first. it looked too thick to be something like that so i tested it first to see if it would read my finger which it did so i left it on..
odd that motorola would place it like that
it is an inset reader attached to the board with a ribbon cable, as part of a button. Some sit slightly different than others, it is common on everything that has this type of multifunction setup.

id say its less a build quality issue and more a design issue, since the glass isnt glued to the screen. I have myself seen 3-4 atrix, all except one had either major dust or at least 1-2 specks.
and on top a software bug that scared the hell out of me, seeing dead and stuck pixels only in the CAMCORDER mode.
I should consider myself lucky then, no dust and my fingerprint/power button is straight. However, it is a refurbished phone (perhaps one that was returned by one of you!) so they might have taken a bit more care in reassembly. Who knows... Maybe it is best to buy second hand sometimes, or I'm just plain lucky

Ok guys - weird happenings, i use a usb cable from my desktop pc to charge my N4 at times. I had been sitting it on top of the pc tower & it has fallen onto the laminate floor 3 times and came out without injury. So i thought it was vibration from my pc tower, so i have been sitting the phone on my pc desk surface, today i found the phone hanging half way across the edge of the desk. There is no serious vibration to mention from my pc or desk, the phone has not been ringing for the phone vibrate to cause it either. So does anyone else have any paranormal activity with their N4 strangely falling off surfaces??
only thing i notice is the glass bottom surface is very slidey
This has been a problem since day one. Put a rear screen protector on. That'll fix you up.
this is the reason I bought a bumper when I ordered mine
Yeah, that's not paranormal I'm afraid, the back is very slippery, the device can and does slide even with no vibrations at all. Just make sure to place something in the surroundings of the phone when you leave it charging that can block random slides.
cheers guys, this is surely a bad design, im so lucky no serious damage occurred. Ill buy and try the rear screen protector as im not a fan of phone covers etc, Fingers crossed this does the trick. Many thanks guys for the feedback :good::good: :laugh::laugh:

You are charging it with your PC on top of the tower with a cable tugging on it... And you are saying it is bad design? Give me a break.
Try using your charger and maybe put it someplace where the cable will not pull it. This is not rocket science.

stop being such a forum ****.
I never said i was charging it on top of the pc tower, i sat it there. When its charging its on a flat desk surface as is the charge cable. I have sat the phone on my desk and sat it on top of my wallet and it falls off. So with this phone i will need to be careful how i place it. Of course its a bad design, i should be able to sit my phone flat on a flat surface and not worry about it falling onto the floor. Nexus aint gonna give me a new one if it were to get broken and no warning came with the phone.
oh and you know what, common manners to fellow humans, that aint rocket science :silly:

my n4 has probably fallen/jumped at least 50 times over the past 5 weeks, and its still in perfect condition(no cases or screen guards). luckily, the far majority of falls have been on a carpet, but some have been pretty scary
I can also say that I find mine sliding. It's quite weird actually, from the tests I've done I've noticed that it usually occurs when I have it on my leather couch or my ottoman. Yes, I know it's not a desk but the phone is sitting there rather level. It has also done it on my home desk as well, but not at my work desk (yes, both desks are level). It kind of reminds me of an air hockey table type situation. If you have it on your desk and push it, it doesn't require as much work as lets say an SGS3, Galaxy Nexus, or Blackberry to move. Basically the way it's designed causes it to not create much friction between it and the surface it is on.
Although, none of this bothers me since the phone is a fricken beaut.

im not making fun of him. and there is something acting on it, its called gravity. it does mean that the surfaces arent perfectly flat, but even the slightest non perceivable slant cause it to slide.

Better get a thicker skin quicker as you're dealing with a lot of teenagers in these forums. Its like playing WoW, way too many prepubescent teens.
guys, it's not the phone. It's the surfaces you're placing it on. Most tables/desks are nice, smooth and shiny. Combine that with the glass and a NOT SO PERFECTLY FLAT SURFACE and you get falls
Trust me...it's not voodoo or non-Newtonian physics
Just get any cheap gel case and you're set. I actually got a brilliant one for 2 GBP Really nice looking and with really really grippy sides.

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:

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

You do know that Sony have renforced corners for drop so do you think the frame will bent.. And the glass can't be bent without heated to a certain temperature... And if you want someone to run a bend test please offer your device and for sure someone will do a bend test for you.. This is not iPhone forum people have better things to do here...

That being said, my Z5P did bend. It's quite usual with large metal phones and enough pressure applied. It was only bent on the Power Button side, so I assume it twisted in my pocket somehow. ( see attachments )
Applied moderate heat to the side (no idea if it helped but it didnt hurt ) and slowly bent it back. There is a very minor deformation of the steel where the bent was, but its all good.
Sony responded quite well to the issue. Advised me to switch off the phone and not charge it due to increased chance of overheating and fire, and told me to bring it to a service so they can inspect the culprit.
I decided not to, since I don't wanna go without this beauty for a second If it keeps happening, I'll take it back tho.
Keep in mind it took an immense amount of force to bend it back, so I am not worried. Its a very rigid phone. Just not immune to force

With enough force you can bend anything... It's a common sense.. I maybe look new to xda forum as I am using taptalk and it takes my Gmail login as I just moved to android few months back... I was on Xda developer since the smartphones begin to take shape... If you don't know XDA was making ROM's for Windows MOBILE Smartphone OS....

Just curious, how did you manage to bend the phone? I'm afraid I will bend mine as it is a bit tight in my jeans pocket and if I bend down, I'm afraid I'd break it.

Yeah mines bent too even when i have kept it with silk gloves and yeah in the jeans front pocket.. It bends abit no matter what
Maybe it wouldn't bend if using a devilcase aluminium bumper. I use one on my Z5 and just ordered a Z5P (for the 4K) and if I like it more than my Z5 I will order a devilcase for it too.
They are very sturdy and the precise fitting is essential for me.
