When you hold your back cover up to the light you can see a bunch off little cuts. What are these!?!? They're driving me crazy even though I can't see them in sunlight or anything else except indoor lights. Like really close. I haven't dropped it yet or even set it on a table.
Does anyone else have these and what are they?!!

Your funny.
I'm not even sure what you mean by little cuts. Any chance of posting a pic that shows them?
My phone's been treated fairly gently, but not with kid gloves. If I look really hard in the right kind of lighting I can see a few micro-scratches on the shiny plastic back. I see the same thing on my shiny black iPhone 3gs and my Galaxy S i9000.

That's what I'm talking about. How can they be scratches though because I haven't dropped my phone yet. Or even set it on the table.
I suppose they could be scratches from rough cloth....from putting the phone in your pocket and taking it out.
I haven't really noticed them on my phone, though I can't say they'd bother me all that much if I had to hold the thing in the light just right.

Are they in any kind of swirling pattern?
I suspect they're just remnants of the manufacturing/packaging process. Either that or just a (bad) side effect of using shiny black plastic backs. Like I said, even my iPhone(s) with it's ceramic/plastic back have the same thing, especially the black one.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah I can barely notice them, it just bothers me that I've babied this phone and it somehow got little scratches.

I know how you feel. If you're really worried about scratches, you could put an "invisible shield" or other protector on the back only (I don't use them on the front ever). I put one on my Galaxy S i9000 after about 6 weeks because it really started getting scuffed up. The plastic on the NS looks similar, so this may be a concern down the road if you want to keep it looking pristine.
Thanks for the "thanks" button push, btw.
Can anyone else press the screen semi hard with one finger and distort the LCD screen too?
I know it is not normal for anyone to be pressing that hard, but I just want to make sure I do not have a defect before my 14 days return window closes.
Thanks
ive done it before and that happens. It seems to have the same effect on all lcd/led screens with a bit of pressure. IMHO totally normal.

Thanks for the response. I know LCD screens do that, I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't an issue with the glass flexing and pushing on the LCD screen.
So if yours is doing it, then I'm OK with mine doing it too. It's not like we are going to be pressing that hard anyway.
Thanks!
You do know the L in LCD means liquid? If you press hard on any LCD screen this will happen. you are displacing the liquid under the screen. You aren't hurting anything. It corrects itelf in a matter of seconds.
The xoom has a really thin glass panel, this is most likely the reason you can distort the liquid easily
How this distortion looks? It could help discern what type of LCD Xoom is using. (for example pressing my PVA screen show a dark smudge)
angry birds causes me to do this now and then!
I get white smudges. I thought that Gorilla glass would have less flex.
Does it look like this?
I returned mine, as the first one I have doesn't exhibit this. Yes, if you press if really hard, any LCD would show this, but this is barely a tap. I'm using my Wacom stylus here, but it's the same with just my finger. It's actually worst in person, but you can clearly see it happening on the video. And it's only on the right hand side of the screen also, so it's definitely a defect. On mine anyway.

Actually, if you look it up on youtube, there are some videos showing how tough it is that also show how surprisingly flexible it is. It's pretty impressive stuff.

Yeah...mine is mostly on the right side into the center. Center to the left, it gets really hard to do it.
it's easier on the right side than the left on mine too but i still kinda have to push a bit. if you push in on the back panel on the right side it does it too.
Hey all,
I was just wondering how everyone puts their Nexus S' on a flat surface. Like a table.
The curved screen allows you to lie it face down, but then BLN becomes useless.
On the flipside (hah.), lying the phone on its back leaves the camera lens exposed. :S
just like normal , screen up and butt down ....
With a good case, any way you'd like
If I'm in the range that I can hear the ringtone, face down for a little louder ring.
If I'll go someplace else that I won't hear the ringtone, face up so I can see if BLN is active when I come back.

Same strategy for me. The Nexus S doesn't have a very loud speaker, sadly.
I put my phone on the table with the screen facing up. Never occurred to me about the camera thing but I don't really care. I've been placing it this way as long as I can remember and the camera is fine.
At first face down (contour display) but now face up almost all the time. I'm too used to putting it down like that.

Same Here
Invisible shield on back. So screen up back down. I donut use screen protection on front
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App. Developer of brickROM, and OP of XDA Thread of The Year 2011.
Hm, interesting.
I'm being really OCD in that I feel like putting it face down will scuff the plastic bezel on the top and bottom. No way will make it completely safe! D:
I have a BestSkinsEver on mine, but it still doesn't really protect the camera.
It's either in my hand (most of the day) or in my pocket.
I balance mine on an edge.
Face down so I can hear my alarm.
My screen is a bit elevated close of sim card slot, they pass of the border of bezel, it's 'normal'?
I can feel the glass in this corner, different from all others corners.
Ty.
Glue, was the glue!
Heat and press the screen.
Tyvm ldriod!
I noticed this for the first time on mine yesterday.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
I noticed this also...I have another P6800 and it wasn't as pronounced.
I applied some pressure to that side and it seemed to make some difference...

I applied too but they didn't lowered...and I don't have a Sim card inside...
The border is good to put they face down and don't scratch the screen, but with this protuberance this isn't good.
I thought mine was with issue.
Ty all!

Would you say this is a screen separation issue like with the nexus 7?
I've heard people try the clamping method where they clamp the elevated side then left some movie or app playing that heats up the unit so that the glue can re-flow...might try that.
Its near flat on my other unit, so this makes me wonder if this issue is on all units?

Wow it's true! Was the glue!!
I leave they inside the case and running NFSMW, they gone to 42c, I pressed the screen many times, while hot, and they gone down!!
When I pressed screen before heat, the screen make litle crack sounds, plastic sound, every time, now after head, they don't make sounds and the screen is perfect.
Tyvm!
Awesome!

Hello Developers
I recently bought Z flip 3... nice phone... just have a challenge and need your advices here.
With the always on display on, and double tap activated .... the cover screen gets triggered randomly in my pocket whatever trousers I am wearing... seems its touch sensitivity is high...
How can I avoid this?
Note: the only way i found to avoid that is by disabling the double tap option to open screen and always on... but this is not the best option I want, as it makes the cover screen only opens with the on/off button
Thanks,
Gano

Get a holster? That's really the only option for it without replacing the functionality and being able to increase the required pressure.

Thanks for feedback. I have a cover already but not covering the cover screen. the only way i do right now is to put it in my pocket where the cover screen is facing the outside to avoid the random touches... i dont think this is the best way of protection but no other way so far.
The thing is, the cover screen doersnt have approximaty sensor by design, you can also see that the brightness is configured manually based on that... that's why I think the feature (Accidental touch protection) doesnt help with the cover screen.

It's the light sensor that's missing, but that is why there isn't an automatic brightness. It makes some sense, since you wouldn't want the light sensor that controls the screen on the outside. It would think it's dark every time it was on a table. That's not to say separate sensor would have been such a bad idea.
That's why you would want to increase the pressure. That would, at least, filter out some of the touches.
