So here goes, I dropped my S7 onto the floor in the toilet....
It hits right at the top left, side metal frame, and then landed face down.
After a second of panic I picked up the phone and felt relieve as the front and back glass did not seem to receive any damage. All I noticed was there was a dent on the metal frame, right on the spot of first impact.

I also noticed something in the upper left part of my front glass:
At first I didn't notice it as I was wearing a screen protector and I thought it was just some bubble under my screen prot...
But today I was changing my screen protector and I realized that it was in fact like some kind of air/liquid trapped under my front glass...
Anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to remove it? I can live with the dent on the frame, but this bubble is really annoying to look at...
The impact probably unstuck that corner of the screen and allowed air under it, probably not a lot you can do other than replace the screen
And this is why you always use a case
Most likely that is a cracked piece of glass and it has become separated, but still being held in place. Agreed its annoying to see but could have been worse.

It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?
What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.
first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.
The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.
No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?

This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol
If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.
no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"
Today the glue filled into the C that is engraved in the back of the phone came out. I'm kinda an HTC fanboy so this left me pretty upset.... My camera lens is also really scratched up. Has anyone dealt with this issue and how was it handled?

Someone else mentioned this happening. HTC offered to fix the phone which meant the owner would be without the device for ~10 days. You may look into seeing if VZW will swap it out.

Slickwraps sells lens protectors, but that's probably a moot point since it's already scratched. However, buying some protection might help prevent further damage.
I've given the phone to my Niece to take some photo and video. When she gave me the phone back, I found it cracked at the back. Not sure how it was cracked. I might be due to excessive heat dissipated while the screen stays on for few minutes. What do you think about it? How I can repair it?

Isn't that tempered glass over your Z3?
You will need this part:
http://www.witrigs.com/custom-back-cover-for-sony-xperia-z3-green
I just replaced the front and back of mine as it cracked on my wife accidentally doing something with the kids.
You will need to transfer your stock NFC sticker/chip to the new cover before installation. This company ships quick and is very reliable. If you do not have the suction cup and guitar pics I recommend it, you will need it for installation. As well as a heat gun or hair dryer.
You can see a how to video towards the bottom of the page I linked.
Good luck.

No, there was no tempered glass in the back. Tempered glass protector is in the front side.

That one says Sony on the back so whichever you prefer.
Is there any safe product that won't destroy the phone, but can be used to drop a couple of drops where the broken corner glass is to prevent the glass from further breaking and seal the phone. I was thinking paint, but are those toxics going to maybe eat the plastic under the rear glass and possibly damage seals and other things if the fumes enter the phone. There has to be a way to apply something, and it down and polish it to show minimal damage if there is no way to replace the rear glass.
Just before I had the chance to get a case, I dropped it. From reaching out my pocket it slips. My attempt to catch it slowed it down, but I'm shocked how weak, let me repeat, WEAK AS FUUUUK pixel 2 is. Every spot it touched, looks like it got dropped on. Because it hit the back and then flipped like a fish onto the screen which caused scratches on screen and frame.
The damage is:
11 screen scratches.
View from the front shows upper right scratch and lower right.
From back upper left. Right side is cracked and crack line runs across to camera side.

Anyone? Just need something that's going to harden but that it won't have fumes going inside the phone breaking apart internal glue and other seals.

Did you check how much it'll cost to fix it? And without pictures it's hard to make any suggestions

I saw there is a replacement glass available recently. I'd still rather try to fix the small crack. Just a drop or two of something that will bond to the crack seems the way to go. Easy to do, keep the phones water resistance.
All of the sudden this morning started peeling off from the center. There is hard bump under this spot from day 1 when you fully open the hinge. Now what? Remove completely or take it to the Samsung service center to apply new one? The whole purpose of keeping this phone because of beautiful big screen is now gone. Time to dust off my "old" Note 20 Ultra?

That sucks.
This why I loathe these phones.
I would send it back to Samsung; don't make their mistakes yours.
Personally I'd press them for a full refund.
This technology isn't ready for prime time.
No more exploding batteries but still the Fold screens continue to fail...

Just peel it off and install an aftermarket one. It is so much better than what the phone came with. That's what I did and I love it. Took me about 7 protectors til I found one I liked. I'm partial to the matte ones. The screen is resilient, i just yanked mine off. Some leave it off and have never been happier.

There shouldn't be any bumps underneath. There could be some small particle lodged in there. Go to the service center, get them to repair under warranty or better yet, ask for a replacement or refund.
