Afternoon all,
So yeah I'm loving this phone greatly, but I've noticed something horrible for a phone so well made.
If anyway else owns one can you please check if your headset has a tiny gap ( Im really do mean tiny gap) between the front metal casing and
the cream looking plastic band around the phone. So were the headjack and on switch is . . . .
I noticed it last night and if I press the back and front together the gap closes.
After speaking to P4U they said no one else has rang in with such problem and they said they would exchange it wen more arrive in stock.
I ended up going in store were I discover they ave one there but is a pre ordered handset. The guy did open it up and checked both handsets.
They new one did also have a tiny gap but not as bad?
Bit shocked as I havent really used the phone alot as Im still using my S3 till I pay my contract off.
Anyone else got this?7
Cheers
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I have read somewhere 2 weeks ago it is a problem for some demo set. But seems it existing on retail phone now. Also I heard iphone5 has such problem but people think it acceptable.
So maybe other users can give their view.
And you would better to have a clear photo upload others can judge.

What would be best way to post a photo on here? I havent actually needed to do it before?
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
There was another thread on this exact issue. It is very small, but then again these phones aren't exacty cheap. So should be uniform all around.

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I got mine today, have looked but not used the phone yet. On both the top and bottom, I can squeeze and a hairline gap will come together, but I don't think this is a problem really. It is negligible and it probably won't have any impact at all, the phone still seems premium and solid in the hand, and it is not like they advertise it as being waterproof or anything in which case this would be an issue.

I have a slight gap on the top, nowhere else though, and its very slight, I keep a case on it at all times though, so no big issue
Ive put two links to photos I took. Hopefully the links work. One is with gap and then me pushing the edges together . . .

If that was my phone I would send it back but that's just me.... hope mine is ok when I get home later on.
This gap may be engineered to provide for thermal expansion differences between glass and aluminum
Definitely looks like a defect to me. Lint, dust, water etc could all get in there very easily and cause problems down the line. I'd get it replaced.

My mates htc one had zero gap all the way around.
Yeah I maybe abit paranoid on this matter. After seeing the other newly opened htc one and seeing that also had a little gap then I though maybe
its just the way its made. I will see hopefully thursday if more come into stock.
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
If I'm looking at the same thing is u on top of the phone theres a very very small gap between the metal casing and plastic filler.
Can't see I'm bothered about a gap of 0.25mm though. I don't think I'd ever want a replacement.

I can definitely confirm such behavior in my One X, it expands a little from heat
but by design? i don't know, HTC promised zero gap didn't they?

I was curious about what a silver One might look like with black antenna bands, thinking maybe the black lines would add some detail to a very large silver surface. I find it not bad actually and I'm thinking of trying it out. Thoughts?

A really steady hand and a sharpie.
No. Really. Put painting tape on the edge of the band, and color inside the lines.
Looks ugly to me. Plus you probably won't be able to get that little ring around the camera effectively

I'm thinking maybe these pigment liners: http://www.staedtler.ca/pigment_liner_ca
I use them for drawing and they have a much less shiny and coarse appearance after drying than sharpie. I think it would be best to maintain the matte finish of the plastic bands right? Also even though it says sharpies are permanent, I've had it rub off but not the pigment liners.

I would just be careful covering that small hole on the back. I'm not sure if it's there to release heat. or is some sort of sound/mic, but there could be some issues with covering it up.

It's my understanding that the hole is the ambient sound mic for canceling out atmospheric noise when your on a call.

Black automotive pinstriping tape maybe?
Looks ok, but not a huge difference maker in my eyes.
Well instead of making them black I just made them silver instead. I think the back needs to be more unified rather than more complicated
For anyone interested, I used a silver sharpie and taped off the bands using electrical tape. DO NOT use masking tape! The edges bleed like crazy because the aluminum surface is not smooth. Electrical tape worked great though. Also if you mess up in any way, don't worry, our old friend the magic eraser takes everything back to normal (I had to do this after the tape issue haha)
I like it, looks a bit more unified to my eyes. I'll report back later about how it holds up after use. Thanks to everyone who commented by the way, that's part of the reason I went silver.
OT, kinda bummed that my iPod touch takes better low light pics than my ultrapurple One... Oh well, life's about compromise
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Well, I can already tell you that it holds up very poorly... Seems holding it removes the sharpie on the edges in a couple days (top band is OK, just the bottom where my hand is for now). this is what I was afraid of... I guess my search continues.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If an iPod is taking better pictures you want to return your phone, your buying hardware as well as a beautiful looking phone you shouldn't compromise anything for the price your paying for the handset. If it's just the purple tint in low light pictures then fair enough it will be sorted with next software update. (hopefully).

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?

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

Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
OK I got an s4 for free a week ago that had a little bit of its small bezil around the screen revealing the white under the cheap crome. It's increased drematicly over the last few days. Any way to repair it or at least make it look nice again without a case?

Spray paint or a bumper.
There's nothing you can do to prevent it.
The paint is coming off my phone too. And it's coming off in stupid areas, like around the infrared port and the headphone slot. It doesn't even make sense, I don't even touch that area. But the sides, where there most contact happens, are fine, practicly like new.

For me it's mainly around the screen so it's visible when in use and damn ugly xD. I'm buying a $60 new battery for this phone i got for free so overall $60 I'm not sure an s4 in this condition is worth :/ is it? Oh and yeah my headphone port is completely white.

I didn't do anything. It happens. My phone is black, so removing the chrome might not look as good as on a white phone.
But it doesn't affect me in any way. I care more about it working fine than looking brand new. Of course, if you're going to sell it, it is important to keep it in good shape. But if I get a new phone I will keep this one as a backup most probably. So that's that.

I use a Spigen hybrid case and it works well and looks good. Look on Aliexpress for various cases. I find the s4 too slippery without a case.
