[Q] Vibration issues? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've been noticing this problem really from Day 1 with the Nexus S..the vibration is not smooth.
When placed on a table and if I get a call or message, the vibration motor seems like it's damaged and will not give me a 'smooth' vibration, rather a wavy one, which sounds bad.
Is this a common problem, or am I the only one with it? Any quick fix?

It's caused by friction between the phone vibrating against the hard surface of the table. If you put it in water, which has less friction than solid objects, the vibration will be smoother, although the phone will die due to the water, so try it on a pillow or soft mattress instead.

It is smooth if I'm holding it or something, but compared to other phones (ie iPhone), when placed on a table, mine is much more wavy and less smooth.

Might simply be because of the type of motor used.

Nexus S
Just looking at how both works, you'll understand why the Nexus S one creates more movement as opposed to the iPhone one.
Without being able to see it or hear it ourselves it's kinda hard to judge if it's normal anyway.

That pretty much answered it, my Sony Xperia Play use the iPhone one.

Thanks. But just tell me, when your NS vibrates (you can test it right now at this moment) from a call or message on a table, is it SMOOTH/STREAMLINED, or can you notice that wavy pattern like it's shaking, and sounds bad? It's not a loudness issue, it's how it vibrates, and I have had this rant since day one haha.

[Q] white spots on screen?

So last night I was grabbing a beer from the fridge and a pan of leftover lasagna was about to fall out. I saved the lasagna but I lost my grip on my transformer and it hit the kitchen tile floor from about 4 feet. I panicked when it happened, the bezel popped slightly out if place and the screen cut off, fortunately the bezel snapped back into place and the LCD didn't shatter, everything is fine but one thing.
In the center of the screen there are a few white blotches. It resembles backlight bleeding sort of, it only shows up on dark backgrounds. Here's an example I tried to take with my phone.

Does anyone have a remedy? Is this covered under asus warranty?
Try your luck and tell them it was defective from date of purchase.
it did have backlight bleeding, but this was my 3rd try an dit wasn't so bad as the others so I dealt with it. Should be terms for a new display altogether I guess.
The thing that worries me is that I have a pretty bad knick in the corner from it scraping against something a few months ago. Its sanded down however.
I tried calling the number on my warranty card but its was busy. Its the day after Christmas, go figure.
lol SAVE THE LASAGNA! I too have some waiting in the fridge since Christmas.
But seriously, people have complained about white blotches appearing spontaneously so I don't really think it would be that bad to just tell Asus that it appeared on its own. Though they might reject you on the basis of the sanded down edge/corner whatever and claim physical damage. You're welcome to try and convince them it's only superficial. I think you'll get through.

[Q] Should I RMA /again/? (Backlight bleed, force closing)

Hey guys, I've hit a snag. I'm tired of the horrid performance with the stock ROM so I'm wanting to unlock, but I don't want to unlock until I'm fully satisfied with the tablet I have.
The main concern is that the light bleed on my tablet is rather distracting... I've included this image with both RMAs, both times I received the tablet back it's the same exact story.

I'm curious if this is normal bleed for the TF300 or if I should RMA it a third time. I understand that most if not all backlit panels will have some light bleeding, but the blob at the top right corner is just insane. Is there something in the top right that is putting pressure on the screen causing this patch to be more apparent than others?
The other issue I'm having is when I'm updating from the Play Store, copying files from computer, or anything else that messes with the memory I'll come to a state where my tablet is completely useless. Every program will hang and stop responding, wanting to close or have me wait. I've read many things about the I/O scheduler and I'm assuming this is what is causing that, another reason I'm wanting to unlock... but again, the backlight is bugging me to the point where I can barely tolerate it.
If this is normal bleed, I'll have to suck it up and deal with it then just unlock to hopefully solve my other problems, however... if not, I'd really like to get a tablet that I'm satisfied with before unlocking so I'm not stuck in the water without a warranty.

Bluetooth Keyboard/Case for the Note 8.0

I happened to find this little gem on Ebay when i was just browsing items for my Galaxy Note 8.
When you are not using it as a keyboard, it doubles as a protective case.
You place the Note 8 either in portrait or landscape-mode in the slot above the keys and it then looks sort of like a netbook. I personaly do not like the other types of case/keyboards out there as they often get bulky and sometimes they do not look to well with nothing to really hold the tablet in place except maybe a rubberband or just a sleeve where the tablet sits quite badly while you type.
As i said before, the keyboard works as a protective case when you are carrying the Note 8 with you. It snaps on to the front of the screen with a good fit and there are no buttons, irports, speakers or usbport blocked while the case is attached.
The keyboard has home and back buttons as well as eight other fuctions such as copy/paste and play/pause for media. It is charged through a microUSB-cable that is included in the package.
I dont use it as much as i thought i would, and sometimes i touch the screen with a finger while typing on the upper row of keys (the number-keys). other than that it works well, easy to connect via bluetooth.
I could also see myself paying a little more for a version with sturdier plastic as it does not feel really safe to place the tablet in portrait-mode, the plastic above the number-keys tend to buckle and i guess repetitive use could break the plastic completely.
I found it here on ebay
and here are some pictures and a video:

How much screen bleeding is normal?

Hello,
I bought the RN6P recently and noticed there were some reports about a backlight bleeding issue like on the Poco F1 on the internet. But I also saw other people mention, that a certain amount of bleeding is normal, since the screen is being lit from the side.
So I took a picture and I want you opinions on this. The 'bleeding' appears on the chin (maybe 1 - 2 mm; you can see it fading away towards the corners of the screen) and on the top (not really visible on the picture) of the phone, is this a normal ammount or should I try to return it?
From the Xiaomi Forums (better pic quality):

well usually there are some bleed mostly around notch as you must have read it, but I am not sure if this yellow ting on the down side is real or just present on this photo - however if it is seen in real this yellow-ish like, it is quite not normal, as it is not close to the screen end, but is rather centered .. I would try to return/replace the piece at the reseller, if possible.

That yellowish stuff are just the apps on the screen. I was reffering to the chin, where it's the most obvious. It's not as bad as with the Poco F1, but it still catches my eye time to time.

S10e display manufacturing error?

Hi guys
I am really having some trouble loving my S10e. The phone would be great - if it wasn't for the screen. The glass is simply glued on the front and thus sticks out by 0.75mm. The corners are not rounded but quite sharp. When I put the phone to my ear, the sharp end scratches my ear and it feels uncomfortable. On top of that, with the glass being exposed like that, it obviously lead to it cracking within the first 3 weeks (see

).
Is this the same for all S10e? I have searched the Internet for any reviews or complaints mentioning this issue, to no avail. I simply can't believe that this is normal (I have never seen a phone with the glass glued on like that).
Cheers,
Will
This sounds like a faulty handset to me. You'll need to see if you can get it replaced under warranty.
Unfortunately as with all Android phones, this will mean sending your current handset off somewhere and waiting up to 2 weeks to have it inspected, repaired or replaced. You'll need to make sure you have a spare handset lying around. This is one of the things I hate about Androids compared to iPhones. Maybe try putting on a case to see if it helps?
If you had an iPhone, you'll have been able to book an appointment and have your iPhone replaced the same day.
Hey Wutang, thanks a lot for your reply! And all along I thought the glass being glued on like that was (a little silly but) normal for the S10e. I have contacted Samsung again, so I guess we will see.
