I have just bought the p10 plus, I have doubted that there is a scratch in the upper earpiece cover, but when I used a magnifier, I have seen the speaker which is a small rounded thing behind the earpiece cover, it is not centered well in the middle of the cover, and the edge of it is shiny which made me doubt that the cover is scratched. Do you have a similar issue with your devices? I'm feeling that Huawei phones are still not perfect..

What I saw in the begining was a shiny spot in the grid, which I thought was a scratch, I brought a light and a magnifier, and I saw a line shining across the middle of the grid, then I could spot a round object, which I figured out was the speaker itself, the edge of the speaker shines through the grid, which is annoying to me, because it looks like a scratch, visible under good amount of light and under sunlight, my phone is original

I'm afraid pictures are out of the question, firstly because it didn't seem to come out to well when I tried, and secondly because I've mostly fixed it, but I'll do my best my best to describe the damage.
Basically in the centre of my screen I've got a patch where the front digitiser appears to have been pressed against the touch sensitive layer at the back and is stuck against it. You can quite clearly see the little dots for the touch screen sensitivity and there are rainbow coloured rings around the outside (newton rings I believe). Basically visually this means I have 1cm by 0.5cm dark patch filled with little dots and surrounded by rainbow coloured rings in the middle of my screen. The screen still works fine, but visually it's really annoying.
Now I believe this has got to be the result of pressure (don't know how, I don't tend to lean on my phones much), and I've somehow managed to apply concentrated pressure to the middle of the screen and dent inwards only the middle of the screen, but what I want to know is how the hell did I do that? It's a glass screen surely it should have cracked rather then dent, I didn't even think you could dent glass, especially not in such a small area without breaking it!
Well if you've somehow managed the what shouldn't be possible yourself as well, then you'll be pleased to hear that you can dramatically improve it by sticking a suction cup on the screen and pulling. I used a sat nav windscreen mount, which did the trick nicely. Now all thats left is a little bit of a rainbow patch in the middle thats a lot less visible.
Hope that made sense.
Hope it helps.
Hope someone can tell me how the hell I dented tempered glass!

Almost everything will bend before cracking/breaking. To what extent is obviously dependant on the material and its treatment.
I live 13 floors up and you should see our 8 foot tall balcony door windows bend in the wind!
Same problem here, i actually did not put presure on the screen.. but one evening, an ugly black spot with oily rings around it appeared on my screen, blamed the wife first haha but she didn't touch my phone..
I got a sort of solution though:
Use a small plastic suction thingy, like you use to stick things on windows or in the shower, then stick it on the center of the screen above the oily spot. then move and softly pull the suction thingy.
Worked for me.. the black spot is gone but i am left with slight rainbow rings.. seems a bug of that too huge screen...
Anyone else a better solution? replacing the touchscreen is a last resort..
Lol exactly what I did to improve mine.
LMAO .. but a shame that those screens are so dodgy..
Could you please add a picture up here, as i want to see this strange thing?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'm getting frustrated
I've somehow gotten a black speck of something inside my camera lens (not the lens cover...I've already removed that and cleaned it to no avail)
I can see it in the viewfinder, but it never moves. I've tried shooting a small amount of air into the crack above the camera and that hasn't worked either
has anyone successfully removed the camera or gotten into it?
how?
does anyone have any advice for my situation?
camera was a deciding factor for me on this phone and one little speck is messing up all my photos
also, feel free to comment on how stinkin cute my kids are
Did you point the thing at the sun? Part of the sensor could be burned out, which is kind of what that looks like to me.

Mine too....
The camera lens cover is held on with double sided tape. You can pry it off with ease and clean the inside of the lens cover or the camera itself.
You could also access it without removing the lens cover, but that involves removing the battery tray panel thing. That requires removing the 4 torx screws at the corners, removing the void sticker on that screw, and then popping the panel off.
I've had mine off a few times to mess around with swapping the power and volume buttons from the red developer case that I nabbed off EBay. Didn't actually swap the buttons, but took a look at what was involved in the process.
Good luck!
Cute kids man.

Hi guys,
I scratched my earpiece grill with a pin by mistake while trying to clean it, there were only a few scratches and it was looking bad, so I decided to take all the paint from the speaker grill.
I think it looks very similar to the EVO
http://static.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sprint-htc-evo-4g-review-3.jpg.
What do you guys think?
Again, be advised that if you try this, it cannot be undone. I did it by mistake
Pretty cool. I liked it.
You did ****itup on the left side. i did the same with a small torch going true the sides gentel.

That's right applied too much pressure.
I was trying to take the dust with a pin from the led notification as it became barely noticeable. Actually that's how everything started.
I can't really see the difference sorry. But hey, any sort of modding is something to be proud of, cuz not everyone can do it. :3
Just thought you all would like to take a little look under the cover of the Blackberry Priv. Apologies for image quality and lack of complete disassembly, I didn't want to burn my bridges for the warranty just for opening the back cover. If any of you are braver than I and feel like delving deeper, taking the cover is very easy. Just pry the left and right sides away with your fingernails so it is loose. Remove the SD card and SIM card tray. Then very carefully pry the top of the cover away from the device. Then simply slide the slightly tilted cover off the bottom, away from the speakers. From there you can see all the goods! I was just curious if I could find a discernible difference between the Samsung S series antennas and the Priv, for the sake of future MFT compatibility. It seems as though they both have the same antennas so the hardware difference must be chip-level. Bummer. Also you can see why the right side gets so hot with the battery and antennas sitting there.

What does the front bottom look like? I'm curious how big the speaker is.

The front bottom is taken up by the speaker assembly, it's relatively large; it fills the entire bottom lip of the back case.
Do you have a US or EU model?
Thanks. I've been waiting for internal shots.

Can you test the speaker? Reports online, including my own Priv, only the left works(Mono), but in this picture it shows the Priv having both Left and Right speakers. Can you take a picture of the front of the phone where the speakers are?
I'm confused as to why they would include L & R stereo speakers but only the Left works, is the R disabled? or did we all get Priv's that are defective. I had a feeling the whole bottom was a speaker grill, and this confirms it......
The whole bottom is definitely not a speaker. It's only the left third or so.

I also want to know the answer to this. Are units defective? It definitely shows two so why does everyone only hear mono sound from the left?
I don't think there's anything of the sort going on. Based on the pictures, since I'm not confident enough to peel the back off my own Priv, it looks like the thing you see on the right (left in the pic) is the control board for the 3.5mm jack combined with the mic, which presumably exists down there, since there's no other spot at the bottom of the unit where a mic could possibly be. It definitely only has the one speaker, but as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty exceptional for a phone. At least, I have no qualms with the sound from it, certainly much louder than any other phone I've had.
Forgot to add, I'm also confident that there's only one speaker because using Poweramp and toggling the Mono output setting, as well as the balance from Left to Right, everything only sounds like it comes from the one speaker.
Sorry guys, my mistake. I hadn't even tested my speakerphone until today. I based my assumption on the fact there is a baffle material under the span of the case baffle and the "L" and "R" label on the plastic assemblies on the board. I hadn't tried to disassemble it further. There is someone on YouTube that will give a complete teardown in a couple of days so if I don't see it posted I'll crack my phone open again to investigate.
That escalated quickly

I just can't believe the OEM cover already scratches the Priv, I can see where are the pressure point of the plastic in just 2 days....

Just remove from the case and pull plastic button inserts out. Take a mini philips screwdriver like for eyeglasses and scrape the little piece of plastic out on both sides. There will be 2 on left and 2 on right then use super glue to adhere the plastic buttons directly to where the little plastic pieces were above and below the buttons. It works for me and no indentions.

Should have done that before but I am humanly struggling with my "OCD" and trying to forget about it, but will leave it like that as the damage is already done and I really want to save the hassle with an exchange.

I think they addressed the problem because the rivets on the one I received the other day were flat as heck and did not protrude like photos I've seen. There wasn't anything to cut with an exacto even if I wanted to. It's still a plastic piece of junk though ($40?!) and I decided to just use a pocket pouch...brings me back to the G1 days

What in the name of cobwebs happened here!
Hi all!
Been noticing that there is a gap at the top of the phone between the glass and the metal frame. I noticed it when I make a call and my hair gets always stuck in the gap and gets pulled out
Just wondering if anybody else has this issue and will it not be waterproof at all? And should I take the phone back?
Thanks!
i'd take it back without question and don't leave the store (if you do it instore) until you have a phone with no gap
Mine is on the bottom.

correct, I got the 2 mixed up. I have no problem with either issues also but I do read a lot of light leak on all different forums.
I got no gap but feel that top frame is not straight. Feels bit curved from side left to side right. Almost non distinguishable but people with ocd can obviously spot it. I need s7 edge technical drawings to confirm it. If it's design or phone fault.
Can you post a picture? Mine has no visible gap, but I do know that the hair thing has happened to me on other phones. Also, the glass to metal frame will never be perfectly flush, but it shouldn't be noticeable.

Here some pics. The top and the right side is all gap! In the left top corner you can see my hairs sticking out... and you can see the paper pieces go pretty deep and its thick paper.
The bottom and left side is ok, no gaps.

Well the shop where I bought it has a really good service record (coolblue.nl. In the shop they agreed this was not OK, I opened a couple of phones in shop and they all had different sizes of gaps. So i'm not sure that the new batch doesn't have it, maybe it is OK according Samsungs margin of error.
Yeah I myself have had 5 handsets opened in CPW and all had same issues in various places. I have returned 2 myself even my one now has same issue but not as bad. I'm just living with it now because I fed up at returning handsets and dealing with crap customer service. This is how I noticed the light coming through sides in other thread.
Can't imagine the phone still being water resistant with those gaps. Came across this video

Please help me to make a video to show bezel gap problem, and upload it to youtube. Samsung Indonesia really make me mad when showing the problem they said that's normal. Yeah i know samsung will run away from problem. So my job is find other guys using GOLD (my version) or any other colour that doesn't have the gap issue.

I'm afraid it's defect. Mine too; but sadly customer services saying this normal and samsung fans boy said that too. I'm seeking video a normal version of galaxy s7 edge showing normal (no gap between metal frame & glass). Mostly gold version is defected. I'm waiting for samsung next response after explain how come light pass between bezel & glass. (Stupid samsung they should put BLACK glue between frame & glass)

Post the youtube code, the part after the '=' in the URL and I'll edit the video into your post.
Guys I don't think that's actually a light bleed. It's more like a reflection of the light from the glass to the metal frame. My glass has zero gaps at one of the sides and very small ones at the other side - well it has equal amount of light reflection from both sides.
