Hi, I just got the phone yesterday and right away I noticed that the left side of the aluminum framing is a little off?
It's hard to notice but if everybody can please take a moment and look at the left side, where the magnetic charging port, does that section tend to extrude a little more than the rest of the frame? Compare that part to the port flaps on top from an angle and you should see that the charging port section is extruding a little more ?
Thanks for your time and replies.

hmm, 50 views and nobody replied, does that mean nobody is having the same problem? just a defective unit ?
There is in other z1c devices too. Not all. Don't worry, I don't think it is a defect. Everything works as it should including magnetic charger and water resistance!
So in some devices, they aluminum frames are perfectly aligned while others are not and it's not considered a defect? I don't quite follow the logic here. Anybody else has a slight misalignment? It's not major but on an angle you can tell that the Magnetic charging port is slightly different compared to the flaps on top.

Have I offended you in anyway? In my post, I wasn't refering to your logic that I didn't follow, I'm referring to Sony. If there are obvious units out there with perfect alignment and some that aren't perfect, Sony should refer to those as defective units and issue a recall to fix it, no? It's a premium device after all. Didnt mean to offend you if i did, I'm sorry.

So post one that highlights what you're talking about, i.e face on.
I don't have the phone with me at work today, but those of you who have the phone with you, maybe you can pick it up and view it a little. The frame where the magnetic charging port sits, seems to protrude a little more than the frame near the flap areas.

If I stare at mine hard enough, I think I can see the part around the charger protruding slightly more than above and below it. But the difference is very small and not noticeable unless you're looking for it.

Look at angle from slightly bottom up, it's very minimum but once you find it, you can tell that the flap areas are more indented than the magnetic charging ports. I saw it last night once I got the phone. Try to turn the phone a little while you're looking at it, if the phone is sitting down on the table its very hard to tell. You have to be holding it and looking at the frame while moving the phone around. I just need to make sure that it'ts not a defective unit and that's how these phones were made. If not I'll return the phone for a replacement. All else with the phone is fine though. I'll also stop by a local store later to check out the z1 and z1s to see if they have the same problem.

okay here are the updated photos that i took. notice that on the left side, its not completely straight because of the extra protruding from the magnetic charger port.
I was kidding earlier with the OCD .
To be honest, I do not see anything wrong in the pictures. Maybe I really can not see it. You need to get right the reflections in order to evidentiate such think in a photo.
Bottom line: if YOU do not like it, go ahead and exchange it or return it. Anyway, the small, fine details, that you are looking after, will not be at the level of an iPhone. That's a fact.

I don't see anything either in those photos.
To be sure that you're not just seeing an optical illusion from the reflections of the changing surface along that edge, why not just take a ruler to it and measure? Or place on a piece of paper and trace an outline? Does it wobble if you rest it on that edge?
You'll never be certain if you just rely on your eyes.
This is mine.

The way you've applied your screen protector would be more annoying. Lay the left side on a flat surface and that will highlight it more, but to me it looks like the protective plastic is giving the illusion that it is.

Well i was on XDA scolling through just looking at stuff and i was holding my phone at the same time and the camera was against my face and i felt like i cut my lip or something. Then i put my lip back on the titanium or whatever part (metal part around the camera) and felt some electricity feeling shocking my lip! Can anyone explain what this probably is?

Current leak, you should get a replacement. The part isn't mounted correctly and the bezel or something inside is shorting the part.
My other guess is that you're imagination is kicking in.

It sounds to me, there is a small little short which the camera is right near the nuclear powered wave flux capacitor and the eon anti-gravity generator is somehow causing an interdimenional portal energy discharge.
Just be careful.

Hahaha best answer ever xD thx 4 the laugh, needed it
N ye bro, considerin the bezel isn't conductive, simply put either u actually did scrape ur lip on sumthin,
Or this is just a random occurrence, the entire notion doesn't seem plausible to me, simply put
If there was a short it would effect the camera to say the least and technicly with the systems
Powersaving, the camera is off when not In use, therefore no current is possible, second note
These phones are designed rather ingeniously as the parts are molded/soldered right to the board lol
Only possible way for a short would b if a part became "unhitched" from the board,
This CAN happen from large drops etc, BUT with a case its not really an issue, without a case, screen is always the first to go. Therefore if ur still using ur display, that's not the issue, if u can use ur camera fine, ITS not the issue,
Simply put, either u had ur phone plugged in to a different then standard charger and wasn't grounded properly (plausible, heres y, the discharge would probably come from the most conductive surface, with this device that is around the camera) if that is the case use the stock charger as that's not good for the device anyways
Other plausible solution:
U were on crack xD
Hope this answered ur question
Peace

Not really, believe what u want, I take my frustration out on idiocy when I see it.
Ur right it doesn't change the facts.
Its a lens, not technicly a "sensor" thes would be your motion/gps/proximity/magnetic field seonsors.
Its not covered by glass its actually a small rounded peice of glass, called a lens, the "cap" is plastic.
And you are in fact correct, it is insulated, but at ths same time its meant to protect against standard voltages when need be, ur cameras not constantly leaking energy here...
My point, if u actually took the time to read, it IS possible for the device to build up access current, but not technicly plausible.
The easiest method that would come to mind would be using an incorrect charger that left the device not grounded properly.
If the buildup WAS present, considerig the design of the phone it probably would go unnoticed to the user.
The easiest spot for the current to leak through WOULD IN FACT BE around the camera.
Even with it insulated if the discharge was great enough, It could potentially jump to the nearest conductive surface, even if the insulation dampened the charge enough if the correct object was used a charge could be detected. In this sense, a lip, which if you knew anything about anatomy you would know there are a massive ammount of nerve endings in the mouth/ lips, along with the moisture, would make it MORE then sensitive to feel a current.
here's a test.go stick a 9v battery on ur tongue c how it feels.
My origional statement remains unchanged. Ur entitled to your opinion, but I don't wanna hear it, ok?

Just like the sensation the One X can function seperate from its shell
However these photos also reveal the screen is one part with the metal lining which in tern locks into the polycarbonate
the problems some people are facing is a flex between the screen and the metal frame! glue problem or do we have clips there too?
Also you can see how to replace the battery
Great news that the battery is easily replaceable, hopefully the part is available to the public either first or third-party...

Your warranty is void anyway, or you wouldn't be changing the battery yourself. ;-)
the more i think about it the more i realize most of the different issues around here are coming of this particular screen defect, where the glass is pulling from the metal frame around, i thought its glue
but i tried my hardest to lock mine back and now its locked into place
so i dont think it glued back, there most be also clips in there for the screen too to clip it with the metal frame
everyone with the flex issue should shut down the phone and try to lock it back
If I put quite a lot of pressure on mine it does stop it from creaking for a short while but it soon comes back.
I've noticed the creaking is worse when the device is cold too. For obvious reasons I guess

That copper will be transferring heat away from hotter areas, and towards cooler ones. The battery will be one of the hotter areas.
Also, it's likely there for RF shielding to some degree.

This explains why my phone won't charge at the same time as running something processor and graphically intensive.
It says...
"The opposite of taking it apart. As you put the phone back together, push the top area into the calycarbonate casing first then slowly work your way down the sides into the casing. The putback process was similiar to the Sensation, however the One X design may be for making the device more compact and thinner."

Hi,
When I had my Note 2 on a table, I happened to glance at it from an angle and could see from a reflection on the screen that the screen wasn't completely flat. The reflection 'bent' as I changed my angle of vision.

I can think of a couple of reasons...
1. Has your battery gotten swollen or do you use a non-Samsung battery that's slightly thicker?
2. Have you attached a wireless charging pad to the battery or back cover?
This will cause pressure on the screen from behind resulting in a non-flat display.

It is common, that there are variations in glass thickness and they cause image distortion for reflected light. You won't be able to notice it for light coming from the screen.

I'm still using the standard battery that came in the box. I am using a wireless charging receiver but there's no evidence of swelling on the receiver or the battery and the back of the phone (under the cover is fine).
I did have a look at a friends HTC One and noticed exactly the same, so I assume it's normal

Thanks for your explanation.
Try turning off your phone and compare the flatness with and without the battery inserted. Chances are that the charging receiver adds bulk, causing the screen to flex a little.

Yes, When I held the tablet with my left hand to touch the screen with my right it creaked like a rock band with bad music! Geeish.....the silver chrome or whatever the material is wasn't tight and it just bend. I returned it right away. I really didn't want to return it. However, I paid full price and not second hand money so I expect the performance to be right, that means no noise. When listening to music or watching a movie it seems as if someone was moving around and that can be pretty annoying. I tried holding it different ways with no change. So back it went. Let Samsung sell. This I know imagine you trying to sell it to the next person, what do you think they might say and how much will the value go down?

Yes, As soon as I opened the package, I noticed the bottom right hand corner was creaking an popping. It is not like I was looking for it. That made me investigate if the rest of the trim was doing the same. If you put your mind into into it, you can get some creaking from other ends of the trim but nothing like the bottom right hand corner. Every time I pick it up, it is annoying me so much that I feel I should take it back. I am not sure the guys at PCWorld would accept this as a reason for full money back or replacement claim. I do like the tablet, but do not want a noisy plastic in my hands.
Is this enough of a reason to ask for a replacement?

Sadly I dont think it is (pure guess so dont take my word for it) BUT I can 100% say that your Tablet will have a little bit of lightbleed along the bottom and sides....this alone is a good enough reason for them to accept and exchange - Good luck.

Hi,
Could you please elaborate on the light bleed issue. How do you determine if you have a light bleed and what is the significance of it.

Put screen britghness to 100% and open this http://www.net-tracker.net/android/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/black_bg_1024x768.png, make sure it covers the entire screen inc notifications part and then switch off your lights in your room and you will then see light bleed, Its nothing major and common on LCD'S but it is a valid reason for a return/exchange.
I had lightbleeding on my first note but I found it to be acceptable however on my 2nd tablet I found the bleeding to be excessive and off putting so I got a refund from John Lewis,
Anyways this thread should give you an idea too - best of luck :good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554094

same here
Got mine 2 weeks ago, and it sounds like a bowl of snap, crackel, and pop, sitting on bubble wrap.
If i look at it wrong, it makes noises. I might take it back and have them look at it... see if that warrants an exchange.

If your one is not creaking then this definitely should be a rightful exchange claim for all those unfortunate to pick up badly put together tablets.
I am even considering getting my money back and going the Apple way. Excellent build quality, and I know that because I got some for the kids.
yeah maybe idk. Sammy is also known for build issues lately so you have to really inspect before you take home. The Note 3 home button is all wonky and wobbly on a lot of units.

Sorry for the question, but what is "idk" in your post?
Having a creaking case, would that get worse in terms of speading all around the tablet's trim?
Any experiences but no guesses please!

"IDK" means "I Dont Know".
I guess if the creaking was coming from say a loose glass to the digitizer i think it could be something that spreads. Since if the glass isn't glued down well enough i could see slight dust getting in there and causing more separation over time. I doubt this is the case as you'd see bubbling at the edges if that was happening.
Hi guys
Can you check curved edges part of display near top and bottom portion to see when pressed with little pressure whether screen goes down ? Especially near front facing camera .
Thank You
Checked near the front camera area and yes ,the screen goes down a little upon pressing in the edges with little pressure.

@Yash24 , @tiberiuharcsa thanks guys for confirming regarding this issue.
Have it, too. But no problem. Seems to be normal.

And what is to do now? Maybe all Z Plays have this. You must look very critical to see this "issue". For me it's ok. There is no 100% perfect phone.
But is the issue bigger, then I would call the support.

I agree, it's not a major issue, I was thinking to take of the screen completley and reglue it using some duble sided tape... But there is a risk of breaking the screen in the proces... It's not worth it
What about putting duck tape across top and bottom of the screen? Don't forget to make holes for loudspeaker, front camera and proximity sensor. And for microphone and fingerprint at bottom
So, you're all saying that tbe whole screen is moving a bit in the case? Check teardown and you'll see that is actually glued. Not my favorite solution but I suppose is cost effective.

Yah it's glued and very liberally glued at the top and the bottom of the screen. How do I know? Broke my screen a few months ago and replaced my screen myself.

That's good news, actually. I've watched some tear down videos and guy was heating screen before trying to take it off.
From where and for how much you got replacement?

Bought a screen off eBay, yes you need to heat up the glue underneath the screen with a heat gun.
Got the new screen in after I had to remove all the small piece of glass that was still glued but it's not an easy repair and I still have screen issues I assume the screen isn't the same quality as the original one which comes with a silver backing plate.
In bright sunlight my screen turns blue
The battery maybe will never die, because a bigger LiPo much longer live as a small one and we just load again all 2 or 3 days. So that's ok that's build in. Maybe the screen is much earlier broken. Hope it doesn't broke
My battery has 3600mAh(3597)

So Moto should make it even less glued for easy repair
Btw, you forgot the price

175 Canadian labour free because I did the repair.
No moto shouldn't use any less glue, just don't drop your phone is my advise

I don't think that anyone is planning to drop the phone. Except maybe Turbo 2/Force.

Ironically, mine got green lines literally sitting on the desk.
I can confirm my phone has the same problem near the top left corner. It is so disappointing to see such a bad build quality.
If you observe carefully just above volume up button screen is not even inside the aluminum frame there is slight gap. And if you apply little pressure screen goes down. Is this normal ?

Yes, normal. Maybe it's make easier to get the sceen away to replace the battery. Normally you can't see this. You must really look exactly
