On 3rd phone... Does every s3 have these screen gaps?

I'm on my third s3, and of course it has gaps between the glass and the bezel. The gaps aren't symetric so it makes me think that they shouldn't be there...
Three weeks ago when I got my third s3 I said I was just going to deal with it. But after removing my case to put on my new sgp curved screen protector, I really don't know if I should stand for this...
Here are some pics...

Wow yours is bad the dust is really noticeable. I do not have any dust under the screen on mine. Hope you can get some better luck. Just out of curiosity have you tried a different store to trade it out from?

I got my first replacement from a local VZ store. I didn't notice the screen gap on the first one, but the home button was "loose".
The second one was a replacement for intermittent network issues from a tech on the phone. That one definitely had the gap issues.
Now I don't know what to do. Maybe contact Samsung? I'm really frustrated because I don't think it's possible to clean out the dust.. I pre-ordered my original phone, so I've technically had the s3 for a while... Am I screwed?

I would keep taking it back till your happy.

I don't want to sound like a cry baby, but this is such a hassle... Do you think I should go to a store? or phone? Can I ask to visually inspect the phones before they even exchange it for me?

Yea can't hurt to ask. I would make sure they have the hole story so they know why you want to inspect it.

I'm looking at it now on a smaller screen, and I can admit it is hard to see. If you have a s3 you will notice that the screen is flush with the bezel. In the second pic, you will notice it a white gap between the screen and bezel. This is because there is a fairly large gap which has already started to fill with dust. I'm a 22 y/o professional so I'm not rolling around in dirt either. It's honestly unacceptable.

Damnit...your starting to make me paranoid, and now I can't tell if I have this problem or not. Wish I never read this post

damnit! i too am paranoid. already heard of quality issues with the power button floating around on the web, now this.................... going to check my phone now. thank you, good sir, thank you for raising my blood pressure........ lol

I'm just going to leave my case on...don't even want to check for this. God damnit

Mate that must just be yours. The one I got (Marble white) is perfect and so is my wife's. Check that shop that your getting it from.

same here. the marble white phone i have appears to look just fine to me.

My white one looks fine except my home button is quite loose, if you put a little bit of pressure on it then it moves around a bit... normal?

In all honesty, I would call Verizon support. Talk to someone in customer service. Tell them exactly what has happened about the two other phones and then tell them that at this point, becasue of all the trouble you've had, you are regretting being Verizon customer and that you see no reason they can't get you a quality product - that no one should have to accept an inferior quality product with any defect at all, let alone 3 of them.
They'll fix it, I'd all but gaurentee.

Did u try contacting Samsung them selves.. u have a warranty through manufacturer I'm sure going to source should help

I'm sorry for making you guys paranoid I'm a quality engineer so I spend my week looking for flaws in the devices in test, so of course that mindset trickles over to the things I own.
That being said, I had an OG Incredible that I got around release date that NEVER had an issue. The only reasons I went with the s3 were to lock into unlimited for another 2 years, bigger screen and 4g. If I really had to I could activate the inc right now now.

It seems that every home button moves around a little when putting pressure on it. However, on my first s3 if I slide my finger from left to right or right to left over the button with no pressure being applied the button would make a clicking noise and move.
Try doing that. If it happens, I would say it is too loose.

Ok, I'm going to try going to a different VZ store today and see what happens first. I would like to be able to inspect the phone first before I even trade in my new one.

Cam Plus Module Review

Here are my thoughts on the LG Cam Plus Module:
I got the only module that my local T-Mobile store got in. I was lucky that one of the reps called me before she even put it in stock and held it for me. Awesome service right there!!!
FEEL
So far, I really like the extra heft. For those of you who remember the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, it feels a little like the extra battery did but at the bottom and not the middle. It's a great feeling. I have fairly large hands from bodybuilding and it is a bit awkward thus far to turn the phone over to use the module. But, I think I'll get used to that quickly. Really big hands people will likely want to steer away from the module as it won't benefit them much.
The dial isn't as nice as I would like. I was hoping it would have some feedback like a traditional camera dial does, but it doesn't. Not a big deal, but I did notice it nonetheless. It is a major improvement over not having the module, though!
LOOK
It looks okay... I wish the colors were more coordinated. The gold and silver combo don't look very good in my opinion. Black and silver and then silver and silver would be good. So, I really wish they made the module in black only.
It is all plastic from what I can tell, which I don't like whatsoever. But, for plastic, it does have a good feel. I will say that.
BATTERY
This is where I have a major concern. If you look at the battery specs, it only qualifies for Quick Charge 2.0 for input and output. It is only 5v/9v for input and only 5v for output. I'll be able to confirm shortly whether or not my phone says it's quick charging or not with the module attached. I did notice earlier while using the module that while charging the phone, it heated up a bit like QC 2.0 not 3.0, for whatever that's worth.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
So far, I'm glad I got it. I'm on many estimates for contracts throughout the day and I can see how it will make things easier to take pictures. A lack of a case does concern me, but I guess that's what insurance is for lol (as I found out with my V10).
The extra battery will come in handy I'm sure as I'm going thru juice quite a bit. I use my phone heavily. I have two numbers going to my phone for calls and texts (gv). I use my phone at least for 4 hours a day for calls to give you an idea. I'll report back on the extended battery life and what I can determine as to the charging current with the module battery. I'm not sure how much of a definitive answer I can find without root since I don't think ampere will work without root. I've attached a bunch of pictures for you guys. Let me know if you have any questions I can try to answer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the speaker seems to be better than the stock module. I didn't notice any crackling at higher volumes as I did with the stock module.
Edit 2: I can confirm that the module does NOT quick charge your phone. When a quick charger is plugged into the pack, I can confirm that the phone will quick charge but the module itself does not seem to quick charge judging from the fact that it took about an hour and a half to go from 0-Full while plugged into a QC 2.0 charger by itself. I have attached a picture of the phone charging from the module in Ampere.

Edit 3: I've noticed during my workout that the battery stops charging after around 15 minutes. Each time I have to turn the module back on... Very weird. Hopefully LG will change this in the future.

I got some issues with the cam plus too that its stops charging. How you turn it on because even in the module manual i wasnt able to find it. With button combination you need to press?

To turn it on, press the record button. The small circular button next to the shutter button. Just one press and voilà!
The randomness is very annoying of the charger though and the fact that you can't see the amount of charge the module has.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk

That the problem i had. I pressed the record buttons many time and nothing happened. I hope that a version upgrade will fix it. Thanks.

There is one thing I don't like about it is the battery dosen't really combine 1200+2800 to form 4000mAh, the 1200mAh actually charges the main battery.
And I wished they put the roller wheel further up the corner.
Apart from those, the unit looks nice and fits well, and I wish they had a pink color one, probably paint it later on and also modify it to support qi wireless charging, just have to check if there is room inside to add the mod.
I actually placed an order for a case made for the cam plus, and also a case for the Hifi plus, but have to wait till end of the month for delivery of the Hifi plus unit.

I'm curious to what the universal bumper looks like, can you post a photo.

Here is some actual photo's of the case for the cam plus.
It's a jelly case made from thick TPU, all the buttons are in the right place, although you may think the shuttle button is towards one side, I think it's made that way so you can press the button at a angle.

Just order the CAM Plus case on eBay:

Hi,
How can I see the status of the battery in the module? (e.g. Capacity or if it's charging?)
Got the module for free. Pretty nice, but not worth the 99€ which you have to pay in Germany. Especially the strange thing that the module battery is charging the internal battery and only if the module is active.

First Impressions Thread

I decided to create this thread for those of us that got the device already and want to discuss our first impressions of the device. It seems us posting stuff in the shipping thread is cluttering it up for people who are still waiting for the device.
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

The build quality is pretty astounding. I picked up my Pixel XL and kind of felt bad for it.
It's not as snappy as the Pixel.
The hardware buttons take some getting used to.
Haven't messed with the camera yet.
Textra isn't working properly and I'm not sure why. The send button doesn't do anything. I had to enable "use enter key to send"

I agree about the Pixel being snappier. I have the smaller pixel and it's for sure snappier and more fluid. I love this device though.. It's beautiful. I haven't messed with the camera much either yet.

My first impression was actually pretty bad. The rest of my post actually belongs in the build quality thread so Ill put it there.

The design is very nice! Everything else like software pretty bad.

As far as snappyness, is it something like the transitions being slow or something else?
To make it more snappy, go into developer options and set the transition speed to .5 instead of 1. That should make things seem to zip.

animations to .5 is what I do on every device I own as one of the first things out of the box. It's for sure nowhere near as fluid as the pixel. It does open apps up quicker in some cases, but scrolling through lists, webpages, the feed in Google now is not as smooth as it is on the Pixel

Feels so good in the hand, update was waiting when I tried to set up. Have to see if it's not snappy as others have mentioned and I too have used pretty much every flagship so will immediately know if this thing lags or hiccups are there. Will update in few hours.

Interesting, but not surprising. The Pixel has proven again and again that it is a finely polished machine software wise. The kicker for me keeping this device or returning/selling it will be the Pixel 2 XL. Nothing else really blips my radar otherwise. OEM theming from the likes of LG/Samsung writes them off since they also are always locked down as all heck. After using a Nexus I am hoping the Essential can gain some form of similar following, but if not, Pixel 2 may be the only option... We shall see...

If the XL 2 is smaller footprint wise than the current XL then I'll most likely get that. I like smaller phones. I would have loved a smaller Pixel 2 with no bezels. I'm kinda pissed at Google for not making two exactly the same devices like they did for the first gen (with exception of screen size/resolution and battery) this time around. If I want the smaller pixel, I'm gonna a have to deal with the bezels again. Lol last year I ordered both the xl and smaller one. Returned the smaller one and kept the XL then switched to the smaller one and freaking love it. I have Google sending me a replacement (figured I'd get more to sell a refurbished device than an almost year old device) and now I'm not sure I want to sell it. I might just hold on to it until the 2 drops.
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

My only gripe I can see from the leaks is if LG really is making the XL, well then we have LG's shoddy build quality to worry about.
Luckily it looks like the V30 isn't as bad as the G6/G5,etc and hopefully we may possibly be past the bootloop issue of the past 2 years from them? (Knock on wood).
HTC may not have the bezzle sizes figured out, but their build quality has been pretty reliable working with metal for a long time now. LG is still new to that gig.

I wouldn't trust LG at all. The V30 looks nice, and I have seen V20s out in the wild, but after dealing with the G5 and past devices I wouldn't trust them at ALL.

Not sure what you guys are talking about. This is much faster than the gaalxy s8 I turned off and it the same speed if not slightly better than the pixel.

Not sure if it's because I have been using a friend's S8 during the time I was waiting for my Essential Phone to show up or what, but the Essential phone looks really nice but the sharp edges make it feel like a much larger phone than it really is.
Oh and the camera lag...
It is a bit upsetting with all the anticipation while waiting and I am already considering returning it.

Guess I should clarify. It's almost as if the screen sensitivity is not calibrated right. When I try to scroll very slow it is not smooth at all. Doing stuff like fast scrolling is fine but slow movements not so much.

Coming from a 6p and 5x I like this phone. NIce feel in the hand, it's substantial . Fits in my 5x case but of course the buttons are rong lol.
I am going to have to play with display as it doesn't turn on quickly when I pick it up, sure its just a setting.
Edit: nope, still wont turn on when I pick up the ph. Still does not register touches around the edge for menus and such, that kinda annoying.
All my apps set up much quicker than I remember from the other 2 devices and it will take me a few hours to get it setup the way I like it ( root plz )
The cut out for front cam will take some getting used to.
Edit: used to it
God stock android is just yech, I can hardly wait till substratum is rootless or we get root.
Sound wise I'll listen to it at work tomorrow and see how the adapter works with my sennies but I already had a Tron BT adapter that I really like.
Edit: sounds great with adapter or BT. Adapter lets the sennies use its inline controls for vol, skip.
I am less fussy than most ppl and I needed a phone, couldn't wait for big G to get off their butts so this.
I hope Essential gets out updates in a timely fashion, if that doesn't happen THEN it gets the axe.
Edit:
Still not sure what i'll do, its a really nice phone. IF Essential steps up and TELLS us something, i'll be much happier.
Cables: PH1 is REALLY fussy about what cable you use, what worked for my 6P might for PH1, only google cable worked when using fastboot.
Android Auto sometimes connects and likely disconnects no matter what cable .
Fingerprint reader is hella fast ! BUT now I can't get into smart security tab? grrr

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the OnePlus 6T, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the OnePlus 6T is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Love is such a strong emotion, I really really like this phone.

In full love for the new flagship. OnePlus 6T is finally in my hands. Just simply amazing. The design, especially the new tear-drop notch and the slight curvature at the back is wonderful. Feels solid in hand, though slippery. Now it's my responsibility to protect it. Will have to treat it with kids glove..
This is my unboxing image

Enjoying it very much. I came from a pixel xl 2 and the few things i missed are slowly fading.
Camera is good enough. I'm not taking award winning photos anyway but this camera gets the job done.
Full quality photos upload. I still have my pixel and the only photos i care to keep at full quality are from my dedicated camera so i can just transfer to the pixel and upload. Same goes for the OnePlus. The 4k 60fps seems to upload at full quality without a hit on my space if i transfer from my OnePlus to my pixel.
The squeeze for Google Assistant. I used this a lot when my phone was off. I was missing it but then remembered OnePlus has off screen gestures. I just customized one for Google Assistant. Problem solved.
Really like the gestures navigation and the extra screen real estate it provides along with the subtle notch. It's not too intrusive and it's hidden the PROPER way.
Pixel 2 feels better in hand and is lighter which is better for one handed prolonged use. Plus the back is not a smudge King like one OnePlus.
Need better accessories for this phone. Cases are sorely lacking. I don't see myself switching back to the pixel anytime soon.
8gb RAM is legit!! Reduced app loading nice

Coming from an everyday driver Note 8, so far so good. Really like the feel of the phone in the hand and the speed it has. Another is the built in dark mode and ability to change the text color without root or substratum. One there's an official twrp I will be rooting basically for adaway. Also liking getting away from touchwiz.

I have concern with loudspeaker. It seems to be too much towards high tones. There is no balance between high tones and "bass". I'm no sound specialist but I hope you know what I mean.

Was still on a Note5 and the trade in for T-Mo was too good to ignore. Love the phone so far, and nice that I don't have to use other apps to overcome TouchWiz, although it was never really that obtrusive on my Note5 anyway.
Just wish they allowed you to auto rotate the home screen with the stock launcher, and also I forgot what a PITA Google can be with making you do things their way - I would really love to have the ringtone and notification alerts separated again so that I can change the volume independently without using a separate app. I forgot Google combined them a while back. They used to have a checkbox that you could select to combine the volume functions ONLY IF YOU WANTED.
Otherwise, I don't miss wireless charging as much as I thought I might, but only because this really is an all-day+ battery phone.

Been waiting along time for a US carrier to pick up OnePlus. It's everything I thought it would be and more.

I'm the same way. Had 2 invites to buy the first OnePlus device, but I was Verizon (unlimited data). I've had a OnePlus shirt for years. I do miss always on display a lot. I really don't want to root because it's a hassle to keep up with.

The squeeze for Google Assistant. I used this a lot when my phone was off. I was missing it but then remembered OnePlus has off screen gestures. I just customized one for Google Assistant. Problem solved.

You know that you can enable Google Assistant to trigger with a long press on power button, don't you?

You can't do that on the TMobile variant right? Even so, I'd like to keep from overusing the power button. Plus the gesture is much cooler. [emoji16]

My first OnePlus Phone and I LOVE IT!

To echo much of the sentiment here. This is my first 1+ device. This thing is Incredible. Anyone who is hesitating, don't. This device runs way better than my P2XL ever did.

Feeling in hand, performance, battery life, screen. Overall is a WIN WIN!

can someone tell me about sound quality of this phone in speaker and headphone?

In full love for the new flagship. OnePlus 6T is finally in my hands. Just simply amazing. The design, especially the new tear-drop notch and the slight curvature at the back is wonderful. Feels solid in hand, though slippery. Now it's my responsibility to protect it. Will have to treat it with kids glove..

Yes, the OnePlus 6T comes with a very good case. Some Smartphone manufactures, like Xiaomi sends cases by default. But the cases are crap.
The case is so good that I will not buy another, maybe just an original case.

A beautiful phone with amazing battery life and an under-display fingerprintreader!

No thanks. If you misplaced it that's the end. It also looks like it has curved glass. Another no thanks.
I'm beginning to really appreciate my Nex S more and more as new phones are being released. The OpO 7pro is admittedly an upgrade but nothing that tempts me to change. The Zenfone 6 is nice too but early battery numbers indicate the Nex matches the longevity despite that extra 1000mah and a 7nm soc. If this is the Nex S2 then I'm quite happy sticking with my old reliable one for now.

I agree. Curved glass should be against the law. It serves no purpose other than - what?

No reason to leave the Vivo Nex S until Android R is out (he will get Android Q), so we have 1 more year .
I would be maybe ready to upgrade only if i can get one with 5G, Wifi 6 (802.11.AX) and 5'000MAH battery but really no reason to change, the NEX is solid and still really fast.

I'm not leaving my NEX S until there's a device which blows this phone out of the water , specs wise I'm looking for 12gb ram, 6-7 inch super amoled or 4k screen, 90 herz refresh would be nice, under display or pop up camera, 4500 - 5000mah battery, latest prosseser stockish android, not bothered about a headphone Jack, I use Bluetooth, under display finger print reader optional, I was tempted too get the one plus 7 pro but I'm holding out for something that really floats my boat, I'm really happy with this phone at the moment so I'll hold on, Ive just got that itch too buy a new device, maybe the note 10 pro, but that camera hole in the screen is putting me off big-time :angel:

With Vivo it's impossible getting stock or near stock Android experience.
Neither Note 10 offers near stock Android experience but agree that would be top of the line smartphone.
As with Vivo will shall see what going to release or not.
There's uncertainty if gone be successor of Nex S or not.

I agree it was 2-3 year ego but not any more.
With Android Q Google has addressed many issues and missing features that some OEM offering.

OEM skins are still and will remain ahead of stock. There are plenty of useful features that stock still doesn't have. For example, I just started using Easy Touch on my NexS and set it to pull down the notification shade instead of reaching or using two hands. It's transformed the phone for me.

Yes OEM still have the advantages over features and functionality but stock android has closed the gap.
Still prefer some OEM skin over stock but wouldn't consider any more deal breaker having device with stock or near stock android.

Not necessarily a deal breaker but I'll take an OEM skin 9 times out of 10.

To be honest I would consider Pixel device as my number one priority if had full screen experience without any stupid notch or punch holes and being 300-350 bucks cheaper that what costs. [emoji14]
Until then I'm dealing with Oneplus or Vivo as I'm aware of the software and how to manage it to meet my needs as better could be.
Sammy or Huawei as much as tried always something bothered me and couldn't deal with it as everyday long-term living with them.

I'm not a fan of Pixel devices. Ugly design, software bugs, average battery life and no dual-sim. Right now my sot is 4hrs 26mins with 63% remaining. This phone is amazing.

But has superior camera performance, ip68 water resistant, stereo speakers, instant updates.
Yes they're ugly as hell that's why I wouldn't consider yet as alternative +they're costs more than my budget.
So every users at the end choice whatever meets their needs.
Nobody perfect.
