Uneven Ridge on Frame - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this on their device, or if I'm just going crazy. The metallic frame/band that runs along the outside of the phone appears to be raised slightly higher in relation to the glass on the right side of the phone (facing you) than on the left. If I run my finger over the screen and the edge there is a noticeable difference between the screen and the frame on the right side of the screen but not on the left, top, or bottom. I don't know if this is just some sort of imperfection, like the glass is recessed on that side or if it's just how the phone is. Anyone see something similar on their device?

I notcied it on mine too.. Just slightly though.. Not enough to notice until I pick it out. Thought I was the only one with eyesight going bad.

You are not the first person iv heard of with a problem like this so i would have it checked out by the people you got it from and get an exchange if possible..

I have noticed this too. I have a Verizon S4 and have been looking for anyone else with this problem. I don't know about you but it is driving me nuts having the unevenness feeling when I hold the phone. Please update if you try to get a replacement.

Screen Raised

Now, there are similar threads, but they are polluted with differing Opinions.
I'd like to have a clean thread regarding the Issue of a Gap or raising of the Screen.
The issue I'm experiencing (A non issue for some) is that when I go to pull down the status bar (I always end up touching the top of the body) as I drag it down, on the left side It's a fairly perfect transition from Body to screen, but on the Right side of the screen I constantly find myself catching my thumb on where the Screen is raised out of the body fractionally at around 1-2mm
Not very visible, but very annoying as you always feel it.
Another thing, is that when the LED flashes, you can see some this light from the Slight Gap/Raise of the screen.
Also, I'm able to temporary remove this Gap by pushing down on the screen, but it comes back out after releasing.
To clarify this is not the Metal lining as that is seated fine, It's the Screen sitting above it on the right hand side.
Any experience with this problem, and do you think this warrants a return?

If it bothers you enough to start a multi-paragraph thread with a poll then yes, return it. You have to live with it, what everyone else thinks is really irrelevant.

[Q] Do you have creak issue?

Do you have creaks right side or around of screen? I have creaks of right side near irda blaster.
Mine 10.1 has creak issue near left speaker. It can be even seen as the frame is on same level as silver border
Creak like creaking sound or ???
Yes mine started as creaking and now the whole right bezel is separating from the screen completely. Along with burnt pixels.
Yes. Right side and bottom left are creaking on my 10.1. No separation though. I always have it in a case so I don't notice it.
I passed the device under warranty. Waiting for the result from the service center. Quality is terrible.
I thought I was dreaming, so there are creaks
yes!
Dood yea mine does the same thing. I was wondering If this was something to be worried about because I dont see or feel anything wrong with the device even though it creeks. I really dont want to get a refurb but do you think its something to pursue?
I have it too on the left side of the screen, where is the slot for micro sd card. I didn't notice it, before i read this thread and look on my device deeply. I hope it wont be expanding more.

[Q] gap between glass and edge of phone

After about a few days of owning this phone, I noticed that I have a gap between the glass and the top rim of my phone. I'm really noticing it now more than before because of the amount of dust that is building up. The gap isn't on any of the other three edges. Does anybody else have this issue?
I don't have a good way to snap a picture of my phone right now but it's really similar to this guy: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Compact/Z1c-Screen-Issues/td-p/704223
Not much response to his questions, which is why I'm asking.
I too have the similar issue. But, If you look close enough(at right light), you can see the dust at the bottom gap as well. This dust doesn't seem to go even after a swim/wash. And this dust thing does bother me a lot sometimes.

I don't have any dust at the bottom since there isn't a gap. The top gap is about .75mm wide. Not huge by any means but big enough to notice. I almost feel it would be better if it were even all the way around. Dust on only one edge looks more obvious to me.

Screen dropped.

I have had my Smartwatch for a week and really like it
But today I noticed that half the screen is no longer flush with the metal frame that surrounds it.
This is affecting the top left of the screen diagonally and is very noticeable when using the screen.
I haven't dropped the watch or handled it roughly at all.
Has anybody else noticed anything similar?
Was it ever flush? Mine is similar to yours, but has been that way since i got it. The raised edges seem to regular to be a flaw
Yes it is very different to how it was, I noticed it because it no longer sits in the strap very well.
The other corner is completely flush with the frame.

Screen warp?

My screen seems to be showing a bit of warping right at the bottom of the screen near the back and home buttons, right on the edge of the screen. Not so much that you notice but it warps the light if you use the screen to reflect the world, and only in that spot. Bit disappointed considering its a totally flat piece of glass!
Anyone else got this issue? Might get onto three about it. I'll see if it's widespread first.
I'll try get a picture later, or video if I can.
Warped like raised wavy or warped like wrapped screen that goes downwards into it at the edge? If either of those makes sense..
I saw that when in 120hz mode, but it looked more like an intended effect to me. It wasn't unpleasant in my eyes.
Also seemed to only happen on long scrolling windows. Short scrolling I could not see it.
I would say it's a pinch under the glass, but the glass looks fine, just reflections of the surroundings in the glass so right where the back button is. It's definitely not lifting and looks flat, but the light dances and create an almost m shape. It's far from anything serious, as you need to look for it, but just something to keep an eye on for early adopters.
I don't think the screen refresh affects it, as I can recreate with screen off.
Got pics from the screen, using my **** ipad camera. But you can see the warp. The white shelf is flat, being a shelf, so you can see it shows as straight up the screen then at the bottom forms an m shape.

Mine doesnt have that, so maybe your device has a defect.
