I got my Nexus S 4G last month, but one thing i noticed is that the side of the phone isn't flush with the door, so part of the phone is uneven with the battery door, you can see it and feel it, I tried another battery door and it didn't correct it. Have any of you guys have had this issue? Would the phone need a new front housing or something to fix it?

I didn't even notice this until I read your post. It's the side of the phone that the volume rocker is on right?
Yes, my sister has the same phone but it's even on that side. A defect?

I guess it is. It doesn't bother me though.
Not sure exactly what you mean, but do you mean there's a small small gap on the right side where the volume rocker is, even if the door is fully clipped?
Because mine used to be perfect, sent my phone to Samsung for repair and it came like that. Tracked the problem down to the top right screw (remove the back) stop the back from clipping perfectly, but still letting clip on. Made a turn or half a turn and then everything was fine when I clipped it back. Found it weird Samsung would miss this, but hey, they're human.
That's weird.
Mine is perfectly flush.

Does anyone have this slight problem? When pressing down at the bottom of the phone near the search symbol you hear a cracking sound? It looks like there is loose space.. hard to explain but it is annoying me, good enough reason to go back tmobile store and get a new replacement?
i have slight movement in that corner, makes a creek slightly but not a crack.
I also have this on my current phone. Mine is bad and with a couple of other issue I have a replacement coming today. My worry is the problem is with the back cover and if they send the warranty replacement without the back cover it will not fix the issue.
However if I get a perfect device and this is the only issue I might try to put something in the case to fill or tighten up this area and I can live with that.
I have similar issue. I just don't feel it solid.
If I push at any side of the phone, I will hear the light cracking sound.
I put some tape on the cover. No more creaking
pictures?
I get annoyed when I press the touch button, I hear the creaking noise.
damn.

The creaking on my Sensation is more towards the middle-right. Really annoying.
Got my thoughts and results on the issue here:
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/HTC-Sensation/The-creak/td-p/815521
wow another problem i dont have
I didn't at the start to be honest, just one day when I went to the local Voda store to get a new sim and I started feeling it, either way gone with the new back, or gone with the old back and lots of sticky labels.
Will be nice to have a scratch free back up down the line I guess.
there's a thread about that here somewhere. my first one had it, my current one doesn't
I had a cracking sound near the corner. However, I removed the cover and put it back on and it's dead silent. There is still some movement possible but no sound anymore. The phone I currently have is quite good only there is a scratch on the back of my screen so I have to return it. I really hope I get a good phone back.

Here are the pictures. Very simple, just put several layers of tape where the creaking is.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I did the same. Fixed it
Weird thing was I never had this problem when i got the phone...
I'm just going back to the t-mobile store and exchange it for a new one.. i wonder if they would give me a new one right off the bat~
my previous unit had the same issue, and i hated it. i returend it prompltly and my current one is perfect, nice & tight.
I went to the store today, They just exchanged my back cover and its working perfectly now =)
great to know. I will ask the store to have it changed.

You could give the place where your phone has been assembled, it could help identifying possible faulty batches.
f.
I added a couple of small pieces of thin foam tape inside the case near the bottom corners. Snug as a bug, and no more creaking
Does anyone have an issue where if you squeeze the phone(or push on the screen slightly as if you were playing a game and getting pretty into it) the back cover creaks and the screen pushes into it slightly. It mostly happens on the left side of the device(the side the volume buttons is on) but also in the top right corner. My device was never dropped and I don't remove the back cover often. I have only had the phone for just over a month. Just curious if you guys have the same issue. I contacted HTC just to see if this was the way the phone was made and they basically blew me off and told me if was by design...I don't feel that it is.
This is a new issue. I am sure you are the first person to report this. Thank you.
On closer inspection the screen on the left side actually flexes slightly and the center of the screen makes a clicky noise if pressed slightly(almost like it's flexing and touching the back display?) This was all tested with the back cover off. The back cover certainly added and makes this more noticeable but it's a combination of both.

Was that sarcasm? Sorry if it's been reported before...
Its a known issue..its like this because sensation is NOT unibody construction and because of bad quality control..majority of users are probably not experiencing this but the rest of us...

He isn't speaking about the bottom right corner creaking which is a common issue for 90% (imo) of the sensation users
On topic:
That's is the first time I hear about creaking in the middle/center of the screen while back cover is not on, I would definitely get it back right now for repair or replacement
Hey peeps,
I've noticed that people complain they cant understand/hear what I'm saying to them when I'm in call and holding the phone in between my shoulder and ear (you know...like using both my hands to do something else while on the phone)
I was curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue because I'm ready to send my phone back to T-Mobile and have them replace mine. Oh and my battery life is terrible. Not sure if that is due to the ViperROM or just from using and charging the phone for the last several months.
Please give me some feedback. I know I'm going to have to reload the stock android rom on my device before sending it in if I do

I had a similar problem, everyone was telling me that they couldn't hear me or that it sounded like I was on speaker phone. Turns out some gunk had gotten into the mic hole. I cleaned it out with a needle and my problem was fixed. Might want to check that.
ill also have to see if its the cheap $7 plastic casing i have around the phone. gosh this mic hole is tiny and is covered by the casing
the hole is down on the bottom right of the phone right?
Bottom right is correct. You might try drilling a small 1/4" hole for a mic opening in the case.

That is actually a good idea. I'll try it if I isolate the problem to the case. I'm using my phone casually without the case now to see if its the issue.
My hands struggle to grasp the tiny phone now lol, the case is small but the phone itself is slick and smooth metal. Loved this phone when they first set it in my hand at the kiosk
All of a sudden today my power button became loose and now rattles. Rattles loud enough where I can here a foot away. I went to the Verizon store and all the gun metal ones had a very little rattle. Anyone having an issue with a loose power button?
No.mine moves a little, but I can't hear it..
I've been in two different Verizon stores and they had several ones that the rattling power buttons. Over 2 dozen between the two stores.
That's crazy.mines fine

Glad yours is fine. I just can't believe what I went through to get one that send fine so far. But mine went bad after 5 days. I hope no one else had this issue. I can't believe I'll be the only one though.
Just realized mine rattles today,had it less than a week,heard it while I was on the phone...not sure if swapping for a new one would help.
thoughts?

Go ahead and exchange. Have them check the stock in the back. Then cross your fingers that it won't happen again. Or return and wait to purchase one later. I've had luck so far on my replacements power button but my volume rocker one is kinda loose.. Not sure what I'm doing yet..pita I'm on my third replacement
Mine doesn't rattle at all. However it does seem to be sunk in a bit. I can rub my finger along the top and not feel the button at all.

Yah, unfortunately just like the original the power buttons have inconsistencies. I've seen then raised up nice to being flush.

I'd noticed that the darker m8s have the recessed button.. I have that and my fiancee has the silver.. Even the display models show it.
M8, nuff said.
I've noticed the same thing with the two colors. I just don't want mine to rattle bad.
Well, mine just started rattling today...
I have a rattling power button as well. If I move my finger across the button it moves from side to side. It doesn't bother me too much but I'm worried that it will eventually fall off. Should I ignore it or get it replaced?
The phone that I received initially had a loose volume toggle. I was able to get it swapped for a new one without any difficulties at a store.
Certainly if it is in the first 14 days, the replacement should be extremely easy. Not sure how much of a hassle it will be with later warranty support.
Just swapped out mine for the rattling power button as well as the right side of the screen coming loose causing a squeak. Spoke to a rep on the phone yesterday who said they don't have replacement devices for the m8 yet. Hopefully they will soon, but I would recommend anyone who is having issues to swap it out before your 14 days is up. Hopefully I'm wrong but I have a feeling all the current M8's will have the rattle issue eventually until the issue is resolved in the next batch.
Hi guys, I have been using the Flip 3 for a few days and noticed that when the phone is fully folded, the two parts of the phone can move slightly.
I first noticed this when I tried to use Samsung Pay with the phone folded, and when I pushed the power button, the top part of the phone body shifted a bit.
I wonder if anyone else noticed this on their flips?
I just tried wiggling mine when it's closed but it's solid, no movement at all.

Nothing here, my FLIP3 feels rock-solid, no shifting/creaking/etc.

The bottom part it's a little loose on mine. I can see it move a little from the hinge when it's folded. Defective.

That's what's happening on mine. It doesn't bother me that much but I might contact samsung about this and see what can be done.

I had another one before this and the hinge was so loose, it almost opened by itself. Good for people who want to flip it with one hand. It's lottery with this phones. If you are not lucky...
i got the same thing, when closed the move can move a litle bit to the left or right, when openend i dont have any movement.

Thanks for your input. I reckon it's within normal tolerance as it is a moving part after all. It's fine to me since once the phone is open, there's no budge
I have two Flip 3. One Flip has this problem. The other not. Samsung itself only offered me to send the device back and then buy a new one.
How did you get on with Samsung on this? Mine has started doing it!
Mine does it as well. About 1 mm at the most. I'm sure this is within tolerance. Those that don't probably will at some point. It's completely normal that the hinge loosens a bit with use.
Yep tiny bit of movement so acceptable/expected I guess
No movement on mine. I got it day 1 and it's gotten some pretty heavy use.
Had mine since Sep 3rd and when there's no case on there's zero movement, though with the offical leather case the two halves have some slight play(might be due to the case providing more of a bumper along the screen).
Hey all,
Happens on mine as well.
Before this one, I had another unit for testing purposes and that wan't wasn't moving at all. Mine moves a little bit... not worried to much about it, but it's there.
Mine has a bit of play, it also has the tapping sound when running my finger across the top from what sounds like the screen Separating.
