Just spent the whole night setting up my AT&T HOX, got into bed and turned off the lights and noticed there is a noticeable light leak on the bottom of the display (by the capacitive buttons)! 1. Does anyone know if at&t will replace it on the spot and 2. If they do, is there any way for me to NOT have to setup the new device from scratch!? I know my google account will add my apps but I'm talking about settings, content, etc. Thanks for the help.

Can you take a picture of it so we know what to look for?

1.) I would guess so, but I really think its going to be somewhat of a common problem since it is an LCD (and needs a backlight).
2.) I know a few third party places have a computer that transfers all the data over, but I don't know if ATT does.

AT&T can transfer contacts and photos.
And your contacts are probably synced with google.
So you'll have to set it up again.
most of my calendar and contacts was saved on google servers on my iphone, so i just synced it to the one x! boom i was set, Just gotta get my apps set up etc like i had it on my gs2
I started a similar thread a few days ago. Doesnt bother me that much, still a great phone.
Mine has the light leak on the right bottom edge... the glass also seems to be sticking up about 0.5mm higher as well. :/
is it a gap between the white housing and the digitizer glass?

Yup. Well, in my case, it is the black housing. I can see it in a dark room or outside at night, about an inch long.

I have the same problem and I have two specs of dust under my screen. Hopefully I can get it exchanged on Sunday.

Light leak for me between digitizer and the outside edge. Less then a millimeter though, and can only be seen at an angle, and I just got a case and now you can't see it.
Hmmm, I have this almost along the entire left side of the phone, it looks to be a bit higher than the right side, I wonder should I return it or not

I would imagine its pretty hard to get a pic of it, but just go into a completely dark room and turn your screen on, you will notice a very thin lit area of light coming from near the screen and case on the side, I don't think its any major concern, it doesn't really bother me at all, but I would like to see these dead pixels that some people find

Does anyone else have loose home button on their phone? It makes noises when you lightly tap on it and doesn't sound too good. I've also went to the T-Mobile store today and noticed my home button is more flush than the both display models they had. Anyone else face the same issue?

If it feels off go in and have them pull out a brand new one. When there in store. If yours feels off, have it replaced! I do this with any new phone. I tediously inspect it. If I think something feels off I have them show me a new one and compare. That way I can show them right then and there, this is why you're going to give me another phone lol

I have a feeling my front glass is slightly misaligned. Will be checking the store model to make sure, as the corner by the back button seems a bit sunken in. The frame definitely comes up over the glass a little.
I was just in the Samsung Experience Store and noticed that of the four regular S6s they had, three had loose homebuttons. The Edges seemed fine though.
My t mobile version is a bit loose as well. It feels like a minor issue but it is pretty annoying....
I picked up my S6 this morning and have noticed that a light tap on the home button makes a noise. It's annoying and it makes an otherwise solid feeling, quality phone feel cheap. I guess I'll try taking it back to see if I can get another one that doesn't have this issue.
The frame is suppose to slightly overlap the screen by the way
I actually returned my T mobile version for another, and the other has the exact same loose button
Well i noticed it after you guys wrote about it here. I have a S6 32Gig White, a friend has a S6 64gig Black version, i checked his S6 and he doesn't have this issue.
But honestly, it is not like i tap on the button all the time, you can only hear it if you slightly tap on it. If you fully press it, you don't even hear it. It is also not like it makes any sounds when moving the phone, therefore i am not going through all the pain to get this replaced just to receive another one with a loose button

Yeah, if I didn't have this Edge without the issue it might not bother me so much
I went back to the T-Mo store and their display model had it. One of the guys opened another one up for me and it too was affected. I ended up walking out with the phone I had. Not gonna make them open a bunch of boxes until they find one that doesn't. At this point the ratio makes it seem like the loose button is normal and any that aren't are the odd ones. Ah well.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps I'll keep mine for a while and deal with it then swap? Wait on a different production run or something.
Mine is nice and tight, but already scratched up. I mean my fingers are rough but jeez. Some soft material on there.
mine seems pretty solid, sorry to hear you should defintely bring it back

Well i was wrong about it not bothering me It started annoying me after you guys wrote about it...
I went to a T-Mobile store to check if the devices had the same problem, and yes 2 of them had, 1 did not...
Dunno if it is worth to send it back now and wait up to 6 days to receive a replacement that has probably the same issue -.-
P.s. After pressing the button down very hard a few times, the right side stopped making noises, the mid now also seems to be fine, it can only be heared if touching the very left side of the button...
Same issue here. The left side of the home button rattles a little bit when i press lightly on it. Should i exchange or is it normal?

Does it bug you?
On my third t mobile version, all three with loose buttons.
List any and all obvious or apparent physical defects that your phone may have or develop. Please list the date of build/construction, and manufacturing location if possible. Hopefully there won't be any to talk about on a large scale! But we all know quality control can be hit or miss in industry mass production these days.
No physical issues, my screen color shifts pretty bad - normally white, it will give a pink or blue hue on occasion. It's very noticeable. Also, my wifi doesn't work 75% of the time. Really frustrating.

Maybe it shifts because of adaptive display settings. Maybe try the standard setting that doesn't shift in colors

Two dead/stuck pixels on mine, sent back. Will buy another in release day.
Sending mine back Monday when my new one arrives. Some sort of particle on the rear camera lens under the glass.

In store purchase today at t-mobile. 1 gold in good shape, 1 silver with stuck pixel.
Pre ordered,received on March 2nd, not a damn thing wrong.
Just got my silver replaced no dead pixel but on the back inside the glass there are small white dots spead out everywhere maybe 9 total all over. I'll try to upload photo but would you guys consider that enough to exchange?
So I went to a different store to try to exchange and they said no has to be thru warranty exchange. Im like even if phone brand new I just got is defective they said yes. I'm heading back to the original store now to ask.
No issue here!! Usually my Samsung devices have a pink hue but this is perfect! I have the black version
Nothing physically wrong with mine, but have noticed the WiFi and 4G icon displaying at the same time, when they should not.

the phone has a function where it actually uses both at the same time, to speed up the download even further.
you can disable that from >Settings > More Connection Settings > Download Booster.
If im not mistaken

It will still occasionally display both, I've seen that for years with T-Mo phones.
Mine had a dead zone right in the middle of the screen T-Mobile branded GS7 edge in Silver.
You might check your router, my router has a problem,the speed of the Internet fluctuate like crazy, sometimes the phone shows both icons,sometimes don't, but when I connect to another router it only shows the WiFi icon
So far, perfect. I am extremely happy. I also have an s6 edge, I returned twice through warranty, and all of them have visible UV glue on the panel in sunlight. I was super worried that the s7 edge would have the same issue, but luckily not.
Very happy with quality, everything working as it should.
Sent mine back..twice
1st was because the power key went out. Which came back after hard reset but still a sign none the less.
2nd scuffed screen, out of the box.
Going for #3 only because it's worth it. Normally I would if cancelled by #1
Mine has a weird dead area right next to the home bottom , what's the best way to replace it without effecting the BOGO offer ?
So my replacement has a defect as well BEFORE PUTTING YOUR PHONE IN WATER MAKE SURE YOUR SIM CARD TRAY IS COMPLETELY FLUSH WITH NO VISIBLE GAPS. This is the problem with my second one let's hope 3 is a charm.

Can you lucky guys who already have the Mate 9 please clear this up?
The second slot - is this really dual purpose, can you choose whether to use it for a memory card OR for a second SIM?
Thanks!
It's either a second (nano) sim or an sd card up to 256gb. I wish you could have all three at the same time, but it's already quite rare to have a dual sim phone here in Europe.

Yes. You can share it between a SIM or a microSD card.
Many thanks albireox. That's good to hear.
I'm really impressed with the spec of this phone. They seem to have got just about everything right.
I'm particularly pleased they they have chosen not to follow the trend to a higher screen resolution that just wastes battery power.
Looking forward to FedEx arriving with mine on Monday!
Thanks also to Mikeoscar62!

I use it for a few days now and it's the best phone I ever owned. The screen is really gorgeous so nothing to worry about that.
I have used the phone almost a week and oh boy it's so fast and smooth
What I like the most:
-screen it's so bright and shiny
- speakers so loud and clear
-the gesture on screen
-battery oh boy solid and no drain
-so many options in the camera
-fingerprint you have to see how much it's faaaast
What I don't like:
-notification that show number instead of icons but I think with such issue updates will solve it

Then buy Lg V20 H990ds dual sim....3 slots - 2 sim cards 1 sd card...better camera, perfect video and the best media audio player out there....
Alas, the Porsche and Pro variant doesn't have the hybrid functionality. They only have dual sim; no SD card slot. A bit strange that the more expensive models have a reduced feature set.
If you are willing to do a tricky operation involving a lighter, scissors, double-sided tape, and luck, you can have all three at the same time.

Sorry. Missed the edit. That's a bummer.
Honestly I like the phone well enough, it's snappy, and battery life and charging is pretty decent.
Gaming is buttery smooth, though I've only played Pokemon unite on it lol.
One complaint, when using the gesture mode for back/home/recents, it takes a really exaggerated swipe up to about mid-screen to get to the recent apps carousel. It works, just takes longer than I'd like I guess.
Also, having issues getting the native screen recorder to do its job, but maybe im just doing it wrong haha
