popping sound from back leather cover - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, just recently picked up a factory refurbished Note pro 12.2 on Amazon and noticed that if I pressed on the top left corner of the backside, it was a bit loose and would create a slight "pop" or click sound. It wasn't too big of a deal but it bothered me and I returned it for another, the new one also has this problem but to a lesser extent. Is this a common issue with the note pro or could it be because mine is refurbished? Is there any way to fix it or should I just try and not worry about it? Thanks for any suggestions!

I have the same click sound on my notepro.A while ago i took of the backcover of the tablet and it's a small plastic cover that makes the noise.Don't think it's a problem.

[Q] Received a GOOD TF, but how to fix screen gap?

Hi,
My 4th (!) TF arrived and features very little light bleed (compared to two horrible ones I had prior, and one ok one), no stuck pixels, perfectly balanced stereo sound and no dust under the screen!
It is like winning the lottery!
However, it does have the screen gap issue. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, other than put sticky tape all the way down the edge? Is there some small rubber sealant that can be bought that would look like the Asus seal? I'd love to make sure it is sealed so no dust gets in as this one is NOT going back!
Thanks!

Creaking noise

I recently got a Note 10.1 for me and one for my gf. After a few days I was getting extremely bothered by what I can only explain as creaking sounds when holding the tablet. By creaking I mean like a haunted house, very similar to the plastic sounds of when you grab a keyboard from only one side. My GF's makes zero sounds.
I couldnt take it, so I switched it but this one still makes the sounds. Definitely not as bad but still.
Does any of your tablets make these sounds?
Nope .

No, if you can exchange it for another

Have 2, no sounds, bought 1 for my brother and a friend, both as quite a church mice....
i get it on my tablet but i'm not bothered by it so much.
I got a case coming in this weekend, hopefully this will make the noises less noticeable. I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of exchanging again it but if the noise is not reduced with the case I may do so again.
It just feels like cheap plastic, it's maddening that its such an amazing device yet it has such a crappy outer shell.

Not a fake is it ???

Yup, they are originals bought from Wal Mart. I fixed it by chance. I opened it up, which is fairly easy and noticed that the noise came from the hinges of the back plastic grinding against the slots were they fit in.
I tried fixing it by safely applying double sided tape at different places, after trying different spots the noise started to get worse, so I decided it was time to go to bed and I reassembled the tablet. To my surprise when everything was back in place, the unit felt as solid or even more than my GFs and I could not make it sound regardless of the pressure I applied.
My conclusion is that somehow I worked the hinges of the back plate in a way that it stopped making sounds once I removed the double sided tape.
One thing I'm sure of is that the noise is indeed coming from the backplate hinges.

[Q] Should I RMA or return, or keep?

Hello XDA friends,
I have been wanting a Verizon or AT&T Note Pro 12.2 for a while -- I have a personal vendetta against Exynos and at this point can't do the wifi only model.
So, I went on Ebay and found one for $575, got it two days ago.
Issues:
1. Light bleed, holy mother sweet mary, light bleed. Top, bottom everywhere, its like looking at a cloudy sky.
2. The back has flex; a gentle touch flexes the fake leather back inwards, and its very noticeable. Its gotten to the point where the back cover is not actually perfectly smooth and has very tiny "lumps" inwards.
3. When the back flexes inwards, there seems to be a sharp point inside the tablet that pushes against the inside of the display itself; I pick it up with left hand, and there is a little "bubble wave" thing that the screen does on the top left hand side, kinda like when you poke an old LCD with your finger.
Thats really it... other than that it works. Should I RMA it to Samsung and have them repair, or should I return to ebay seller via a case (Seller is unresponsive, sadly)? Or is everyones Note Pro like this?
Thank you very much!

I noticed that flex right away. Same thing happens on mine, along with the LCD distortion.
I wish they would make it in a solid metal piece (ala iPad) instead of plastic.
If its noticeably worse than something like a display model, I'd lean towards a return as defect. Or, since it's a carrier branded device, you could probably get support from them. At least if you have an active account.

Question Cracking Crease

Hey all,
I bought my flip the day it came out and have developed some cracking and peeling on the crease of the screen. Is this something I can easily fix with a new screen protector or is this something I need to call Samsung for and use the warranty?
Wowsers, may I ask how that happened? I'd get onto Samsung. That's what the warranty is for after all!
This is just normal use. I don't do anything crazy. I have a desk job. It just started cracking one day and keeps getting progressively worse.
Hi i had the same problem. i saw a crack in the protector horizontaly in the crease right side 2 weeks ago(i bought zflip 3 on end of august) with a gray reflect on White color of the screen.
I decided to remove the protector (you tube vidéo helps to it and furthermore in the french stores all Zflip 3 demo units had no protector on it like flip 1). I bought an hydrogel protector taylor cutted by machine.
The bad big surprise is that the Samsung original protector is not an hydrogel one but a simple sticker like S20 models !! It's a shame for a foldable and the risj to damage the screen is high.
Now i have my z flip 3 with hydrogel that i managed to put myself because the vendor was not sure..... The feeling is better, feels stronger and i love typing text on it after.
I have 2 micro bubbles left but it's far better than to have a cut in the plastic.

Update: I got a new screen protector on Amazon and everything is perfect now. Removal and replacement wasn't much different than a standard phone.
Well done!!!, the phone is better after, the screen seems stronger, typing is easier and its protected!!!

Is it true when you replace the original protector with something else and it is not done by Samsung, warranty will be void?
