Does your 8X body creak/snap? See light where screen meets body/screen not flush?

Im wondering if other people's 8X's creak when squeezing the phone sideways or on the screen after a few minutes of use? Also I can see light leaking from the bottom where the screen meets the body of the phone. Want to know if I should get an exchange tomorrow at Microsoft Store since after that I'm pretty far from any Microsoft Stores until I'm past the return date.

My volume rocker squeaks a little and also moves back and fourth when I shake the phone. At the bottom of the phone on either side of the charging port there are light leaks, and on the left and right bottom sides too, which is annoying in the dark. Tempted to take mine back to Phones4u and ask for a new one..

Got a new phone and its much better. I didn't notice if light leaks through bottom anymore, but the screen is definitely more flush though not PERFECTLY flush.
Much more solid phone and power button also has a click and is easier to press now. No more creaks now.

I'll go and exchange mine then I think. Can you take a picture of it in the dark to show if you have any light leaks and post it up? I'd be very appreciative.
My power button feels a bit odd too, it doesn't have a click and feels squidgy, was thinking that earlier. Might have a go on the replacement in store and look at it in the dark to check for light leaks.
Edit: I've attached the best picture I could get of my light leaks/screen fitting. This is with brightness at max, taken with my DSLR. Was yours this bad? I'd be interested to see if this is an issue with other 8X's or just ours.

I haven't had any problems like that with mine yet. I started using a case after the first week though. Hopefully a replacement will fix the issue for you. That's a lot of light coming through.

It is, it's awful. I'm kind of regretting getting the 8X over the 920 to be honest, the blacks seem very light on the screen and the colour seem very washed out (maybe it's just coming from an AMOLED screen that is doing it), might see what they can do for me in store today. We'll see.

Took it back today, they didn't want to replace it but they did in the end. Tried out two brand new Yellow ones in store, both had the exact same issue. Tried a black one, and it's perfect, no light leakage at all. Maybe it's an issue with the Yellow one. Poor effort HTC.
Accepted the Black one as a replacement, but I'm trying to sell it and get a 920 like I should have in the beginning. Doh!

Meh. I have the black one and its an issue all right. Yesterday, my screen totally died. Went to HTC service center today, and the light leakage and inperfect screen flush were listed as "possible user damage". If they decide to classify it as user damage, i'll be pissed.

I went with the 920, had screen flickering issues and random rebooting on it, and all 3 of my replacements. Gave up and got a Note II. lol.

Yes, when I had mine it creaked and the camera lens moved around a little, and the screen was a tad squishy on the bottom right...HTC consistently has awesome designs but
There is always something wrong with their build quality that is maddening.

Crack over Speaker holes
Hi guys, just to add to the build quality problems... I've just had a replacement from Phones4U of my yellow 8X. After just under a month of gentle and careful ownership i noticed a crack appeared over (and through) the holes on the back for the speaker. The crack got bigger over about a week before i had chance to go ask about it in store. to be fair to P4U, the person i spoke to was great and they swapped it out in store, even though i'd originally bought it online.
Came back to this thread to mention it and now having read everything else i'm noticing a bit of creaking when i squeeze the sides and both phones had had the squishy screen edge picture thing which i first read about being a problem on the ONE X. Not sure if that's just normal anyway though really. Oh and neither of my power buttons have clicked and i find myself missing my easy to press home button on my old iPhone 3GS!

Same again!

Well after a month (again) my replacement 8X has developed the crack in the same place.
Phones 4U are gonna swap it for a black model this time, i'm wondering if it's the yellow plastic specifically that's bad. They were less cheery and helpful with the exchange this time stating that because it's a cosmetic fault they don't usually replace them and the first time was 'a goodwill gesture'.
I'm starting to wish i'd just gone for the extra price bump for the Lumia 920 instead now. Guess i'm lucky they've replaced them at all though but i still don't think a phone should crack of it's own free will after 4 weeks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/drive.png
They also said it's not a widespread fault that they've been made aware of, i was actually hoping someone else on here would have had the same experience to help me confirm it wasn't just bad luck or whatever. I guess everyone else just has the corners rubbing off instead!

I guess I got lucky, my blue 8X seems pretty solid and all the buttons are clicky.

Home button loose

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

Ugh, again though?
I guess...

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?

Yellow spot on screen

Is this for waranty or not, device is old 2 months and yellow spot appears on lcd?

Bump
Anyone know does this issue cover warranty? I mean will sony accept this and fix my device?

I've got the same issue on mine, but rather worse and mine is nearly a year old. Had no issues up until about a month ago an then there was a small issue and it's been gradually getting worse and worse.

Yeah my damn phone same deal, I just posted a thread as well, right by the change port, interestingly enough if I hold the phone in my hand when I would go to lock push the power button, my thumb is right where this mark is as well, so I am now wondering if the slight side pressure over time has done this.

Possibly, it can't really be charge port related in my case as i don't use. I haven't plugged the USB into my phone for about 4 or 5 months now. I always use a dock/cradle with magnetic charging in it.

Yeah I use mag charge as well at home, just the other at work if I need extra juice

I sent mobile today at t-centar,now i need to wait and see will they accept warranty fir this. Il report back when i get device

I've just had mine repaired for a very similar discoloration under warranty. My screen also started to lift - there's some conjecture that the discolouration is the glue melting!

Had mine delivered back to me this morning after sending it back for this issue. Came back repaired with new screen protectors and new bezle fitted. Through warrenty

guys, can you pelase confirm it the replaced screen is the same as the original? I had it replaced but the screen I got is not the same as the old one..while viewing in extreme sunlight, i could clearly see the LEDs on the display...but now all i see are vertical dots...seems like they fitted a chinese display that looks exactly the same...

Mine had dots before I sent it away and the screen it came back with also has dote, although now they seem less visable. They were extremely noticable before. Also, my pictures look amazing compared to before.
Before sending it away it was on 4.4.4 but now its on 5.1.1 so weather that has something to do with it or not I dont know.

Ok finally got device back, i got completely "new" unit, only motherboard is my old one..so full cover, digitizer and lcd is new one.

Screen lift?

So I got my 8GB/256GB Pro a couple days ago during the launch event. Next I day i notice that when I press the home screen where the fingerprint is located and the opposite side near the top of the screen I hear as if the glue underneath is not sticking and sounding like the screen is lifting, or some part beneath it is lifting. Anyone else experiencing this? Its rather annoying.

how did you get it at the launch event? i was there, and as far as i'm aware, it wasn't available for purchase there.

i think he went to T mobile store, but that's not the point lol

true, I was just curious. either way, that really doesn't sound like intended behavior, so i would definitely go right back there and exchange it lol

Yea it was at the flagship T-Mobile store in SF. As for the screen sounding like its lifting is only when the phone isn't warm. Its really bad when I wake up in the morning when it hasn't been used as the adhesive has probably cooled. I just hope I can prove it to the rep when I take it for exchange.

So I went back to the store and apparently their floor model is doing the same thing. Some experienced similar issues, I wonder if the first round of batches have these issues with most of them. I didn't exchange it, but it appears this is starting to become a common issue.

yikes, don't get it wet, if the screen is moving that means the seal is bad for sure.

Well they do call it a fluid display ?

No issues here, but I have the unlocked model.

I have the same issue (kind of). In my case it only happens once or twice a day. But it is really annoying. Im planning to use hairdryer and some pressure to strengthen the adhesive. Is that a bad idea? Has anyone got a better solution? I travel a lot and and the country im currently in does not have any Oneplus service. So sending device to service is not an option for me.

I have the exact same problem with my OnePlus 7T Pro. First it was only when I pressed harder, now its nearly every thime I touch that area. I gonna contact OnePlus for RMA.

Add me as another one with the issue. Ordered right after launch directly from OnePlus. Anywhere from 2-3x a day, to as many as 5-6.

I made a Video of the Problem, feel free to use it, if you want to:
https://youtu.be/j9Exg2CUs3Y
I forgot that I canceled the order from the OnePlus-Shop and bought it from Amazon. (faster delivery)
This weekend I sent it back. (it was in the timespan for free retirement of the order, I also told them about the defect)
Now I will wait till I got my money back and order a new one.
I need root and because of that my device wasn't really used till now. I still use my OP5T for daily.
If a "official" Rooting-Solution is out I will order a new OP7TPro.

S3 frontier bezel

Hi.
So yesterday I got my watch back from an authorised repair shop that changed my battery, cost me about 80$ and they manage the lose my watch and return someone else's.
Got my in the end but someone over there manage to do something to it and I don't want to send it back to them.
My bezel seems to react but only change one screen, and then change back to the previous screen when I keep rotating it. If I use my finger it will change between all windows on the watch with no problems.
No strange sounds and feels the same.
I Googled it and took apart the bezel, cleaned it and put it back together, but problem persist.
All 4 balls and pins where there and the watch is clean to.
Tried to hard reset it but problem still persist.
About the watch:
Sm-r760
One ui 1.0
Tizen 4.0.0.4
Software r760xxu2esf2
Hope someone got a good idea.

Never tried... no idea yet...
Only you allready checked Videos on Youtube?

The bezel includes 8 magnets to work like a quadrature incremental encoder.
The magnets may be got demagnetized somehow. Say, the previous owner was put into a MRI scannrer with the watches or lived for a long time in a transformer box.
There's nothing you can do about it, just replace the bezel. Or the magnets, if you manage to.
