The evidence, after a week...
I can't say that's not disappointing. Has yours worn off?
same thing here after 2 weeks
mine has not worn off [yet]. still looks great.
Glad i put a screen protector on mine the minute i took it out of the box.. that looks bad.. id deff take mine back if it started doing that..
You guys aren't using any strong solvents to clean your devices are you? (even though technically, it shouldn't be dissolving)
Mine still looks great too had it since launch
Wow that sicks. I have had mine since launch and have no problem. Making me want to buy a zagg though after seeing this post
There was a thread about this a while back, This should NOT be happening and you should exchange your device

Nope, I'm just using my hand or a soft cloth that came with my iPhone way back when. No liquid whatsoever.

I agree. The problem we now have is, well, if I go back and exchange, what potential problems will the next phone have? In all honesty, the smudging is not an issue when the screen is on. What the heck..I'll replace it tmrw

this issue seems isolated, my phones screen is nothing but pristine, but really it cant hurt to exchange
Been dreading this happening but mine seems fine so far after cleaning regularly with micro fibre cloth.
I can't say my phone has had heavy use though, hasn't even been out of the house yet!
mine is still pristine I just use the nexus 1 pouch. Every time I slide it out its perfect.

How well does this fit the nexus s? I'd like something similar, the pouch I used for the dhd was just brilliant but I've not seen an equivalent yet for the nexus s.
Fits perfect for me.

I tried my N1 pouch on the NS... the NS is just too big for it. When I slide the N1 pouch over the NS, it's so tight that the volume buttons are being pressed as I put it on. Oh and it sticks out a bit at the bottom lol.
I use my old g1 pouch. Fits perfectly.

No wearing off of the coating on mine. Heck, I didn't even know the phone had the oleophobic coating. Glad to see it does. My phone is constantly in my hand being used since first day of launch.
Sounds like you have a defective one.

Hey, good idea. I think I used to put my i9000 Galaxy S into the N1 pouch, but it was just a bit of a stretch. I may try to find the N1 pouch for that added protection in the pocket against keys and change.
Why worry about a pouch? I had one for my N1 and it worked great! But then I learned of BestSkinsEver. The one for the NS is perfect, it even covers up the camera lens! There is no spot uncovered and exposed to the possibility of damage from keys, change, whatever. Take a look at the pics. Cant even tell its on.

Hello NS Owners,
Does your NS squeek when you apply slight pressure on the plastic at the side of the volume rocker?
Mine does and it annoys mei! For €470 it should be a solid build. I'm just wondering if I got a bad one or are they all like this. I don't really want to stuff it with paper!
Thanks
Nope. I've had two, neither squeeked.

Look man, this is what you get with Samsung. You cant expect a solid build when 95% of their hardware is plastic. HTC or Apple on the other hand, they reason why their phones have such good build quality is because they're made out of solid metal (typically aluminum) and glass. Yeah, my volume buttons are wiggly and squeaky if i push them against the plastic bezel too. I have learned to live with it. It's just how Samsung works.
Thanks
Okay thank you both for your input. I think I will contact Samsung. Even if they won't do anything for me, at least they might take note of the complaint.

Better than nothing for sure, but all in all, I hope they don't make the next Nexus phone... :/
Mines doesn't squeak. I think it probably would eventually if you keep removing the battery cover. I try not to remove mines.
I honestly do not have a problem with the plastic build because its light and I love to lay down in bed holding my phone over my face. My old myTouch 4g had superb build quality, but was just too heavy to hold for long periods.

HTC? Have you every touched a HD2? Or seen the screen coming apart on an EVO? HTC is no curve setter, and i personally would put them in the same class as samsung, other than the newest phones coming out recently.

Mine wiggles but I fiddle with volume a lot. I figure it's normal. Handled iPhones with wiggly buttons too.

i use a pop case and it covers the volume rockers pretty well. easier to press with it on... if that helps, probably not.
but i dont notice it sqeaking before i put the case on

Funny, I've owned 2, and they both of them had buttons that squeaked/rattled. But like another user said, I put a case on them, and it doesn't squeak any more - the case puts just enough tension on them to keep them from rattling in place.

I'm very happy that you have so much money. If ever you feel the need to make your pockets a bit lighter then I'll gladly help you out.
And to everyone else:
It's not the buttons that squeak. It's where the back cover "touches" the buttons. It's almost like the back cover isn't clipping on properly so it moves a little bit and then it squeaks. I've tried using a silicon cover but that had no effect... I wish that they used the Samsung Wave design for the Nexus S. That phone was solid as a rock.
Okay this is really not big deal, but just though I'd tell you guys and ask y'all have the same thing on your sesation phone
When I press the screen hard, but not like its going to damage the screen, when I do, the screen or the back cover casing don't seem to be tight enough that its like loose.
Anyone here has this going on their sensation?

It's not even that. I know what he's talking about. Say you hold the phone and squeeze it slightly, it'll have a little give to it & will creak. Mine does the same thing. It's my only annoyance with the phone.

that's about the only thing that'll work. My guess is the extra room is there in case the battery expands for some odd reason. I just block it out of my mind & scream LALALLALALALALALA when it happens.

They made the battery cover just a little higher than the battery because after years of using your phone and charging your battery, the battery begins to expand. Its to accommodate the expansion of the battery after a year or so of using your phone. Be happy to hear it!

Are you sure? It would have to expand quite a bit.
I've put a piece of paper in mine for now, fixes the problem nicely and doesn't affect signal or wifi strength (I was worried it might).
It's a bit ridiculous but I rarely remove the back.
I have it too, not too concerned about it or anything though.

You can leave the paper in it for now, but ever 4-5 months or so, pull out the battery and spin it on a flat surface, if it spins, your battery is swelling, which usually comes with age. I'd say after about 1 1/2 years you can buy a new battery if you really need to, but for now, your good!
I'll keep that in mind for the future then, interesting.
Yup I have the issue also. Actually after reading this thread, I wouldn't say its an issue but perhaps a manufacture glitch. Guess we just have to deal with it.
Had this issue with my sensation. When I pressed the bottom right of the screen it creaked and clicked like there was a gap or the battery cover wasn't on the whole way. Funny thing was this started a couple days after having the phone and didn't do this at first. Just exchanged today and new one has no probs atm
Actually for me, the only creaking sound I hear is when I press the buttons on the bottom, especially the home button. But I have to press it kinda hard and towards the bottom left.

update us in a week if it comes back. Mine started out fine & now has the creaking
I have the black gel skin on mine and I don't have any creaking. That's an option too if you like gel skins. I have to have one. Too worried I'll drop this gorgeous phone.

I returned it like 2 times now and the stupid thing is just falling apart on me every time. What have you guys done to fix it?
Just noticed mine doing this a day or 2 ago, the corner by the home button. It cant really be seen but you can feel it if you push towards the corner or push home decently hard.
Have not had this issue at all.
I have noticed that sometimes when push home button area. I can feel the glass "re-seat" back to where it should be. It's not much movement, but just enought to feel it pop back in. Love this phone, home it lasts another 14 months
This has scared me quite a bit a few days ago, I thought my screen was starting to fall off (it would "re-seat" when I pressed close to the home button, like bdaman80 said)... then I simply removed the sim card cover, and placed it back.
It's probably not the case if you had to return it, and its falling apart for real, for that I have nothing else to say other then, either take it back again, or search ebay for screen replacements to fix it yourself (some even come with the tools necessary).
Godspeed my friend!
I'll wait for it to get fully fubarred first.
Mine is doing it by home button too. Any danger of it coming off totally?

I don't see it coming off completely. Me and a couple of my friends have had the same issue with ours and mine has been doing it for about 4 months now. It hasn't got any worse.
Oh ok good to know! This is the second one because volume switch on the original broke (trust me. It made clockwork interesting with only volume down.) so I didn't want to have to try to send it back. Worse case scenario, I have to buy a new screen and put it in myself. best case scenario, it just bugs us all for the next 15 months until renewal time haha
Mines lifted from the search button just a lil

This.. (Corner by the Home button)
I got mine a few days after launch and it started doing it about a week later. There were a bunch of threads shortly after launch about it. Mine has not gotten any worse - and the bottom of the screen is even shattered now, has been for about a month. I don't think the screen is going anywhere...
Got mine in November. Haven't had an issue with it. Hopefully I won't.

I think what I heard was the bottom cover through my case. I inspected the phone and it seems fine.
hi everyone, i have a quick question.
i noticed yesterday that my screen was starting to come loose on the top corner of my phone, i could push it back in and within 10 min it was back out. (this also happened on my htc inspire)
i returned the phone to at&t and my new one is more solid but i do notice that it does push in the bezel a tiny bit also on all corners and sides.
do i have another bad phone? is anyone else seeing this with there phone?
thx for the help
it flexes a bit with light pressure, but if the problem is severe or impedes the use of the phone, then return/exchange it.
my first phone was fine at first but then the right corner popped out about a 16th of an inch from the back case and the other side was fine. the phone was still fine to use though.
i am wondering if the tiny bit of flex around the edge is normal or if mine will eventually work loose again.
Mine is a bit creaky around the top and bottom but I dont think it is worth taking back for
I exchanged my first HOX because of this. It started in one corner and then quickly spread to three.

how is the new one does the screen push in at all around the edges? my new one does slightly also do you mind letting me know what rev the build is. min is rev.2 on my box label.

New one is rock solid. That rev2 is most likely just the packaging. The different hardware versions are HT23, HT24, etc... Mine is an HT24.

the screen is coming off the black metal bezel, don't you remove the bezel and screen as one piece when removing the back casing?
i guess if it does happen again i can just peel off the screen and glue it back down to the metal casing.

I guess there are many who have never had issues with the glass , or hell anything for that matter .. I'm included...
