Today I noticed that my phone has a crack that goes across the bottom and crosses the mic hole. No drops no cuts. I taken care of this phone and this is what I get. The cut even goes and crosses the silver band. It's awkward. I wonder if tmobile will trade it for a newer one. Makes no sense. The note 3 or iPhone lasted longer without any types of normal wear cracks.

Its probably just a bad picture but the bottom of your phone looked like it was dropped.

kinda see what you mean where the crack is looks like scuff marks
Just noticed as well today mine has THE same crack through the mic on bottom of phone and also on top of phone through infrared sensor. It's a known and not isolated problem among many G3 owners across the globe. Google it.
No scuffs. Just the way it came out. This really sucks.

The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.
There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.
I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...
Awhile back I bought a screen protector and it came in.
I read the instructions and everything, finally ready to apply.
I start applying and the first thing I notice is 3 layers of **** protecting the screen protector.
So eventually I ruined the first one because of dust and didn't know what ****ing layer was the screen protector.
I start on number two with a better attitude thinking I got this *****, the hell you know it gets screwed over. Apparently somewhere in between applying I bent the *****.. and this causes it to look like **** even then there was bubbles everywhere, where it says its bubble free
I don't even want to apply number three because I know something horribly will go wrong. Did anyone else use this brand and what was your experience?
I'd also like to note it did get scratched when applying the film too. Piece of **** companies
To top it off I got my case in too and it looks used, looks like a coffee stain on the back and was poorly cut.

Back in the days of the iPhone 5 (I didn't have one, it's just for reference) many people complained about the black one scratching and chipping easily, and silver metal being visible underneath, there was a fix discovered. "Birchwood Casey Super Black Touch Up Pen". Since I chipped the bezel on my 360, you think this would work? If so, which pen would it be? Flat, Gloss, or Matt, I doubt it would be Matt. I'll leave pictures of the damage to my watch below.

I tripped and it hit the ground before my hand. I tried marker too, it came out almost a purpley colour. Gonna order that marker soon, hopefully it'll work.

I have a very little Slot over my first Headspeaker near the Camera. There is some dirt and i dont know if other has the same Problems.
I got my Phone around 2 Weeks and for that Price that is a shame.
I attached Photos where you can see it.

Google Support says its normal.
The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.
Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.
I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.
Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.
This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!
You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.
Because no one asked....Well it looks like this. Wonder what's the tech behind this screen. Maybe that whole section is more "translucent"?.

That whole section is where adhesive doesn't reach hence the hollow sound it's edge glued display

Yeahhh, iv heard that hallowish sound sometimes when I tap, like there's nothing under it lol, yeah it's just the adhesive going around it, cool though
That's perfectly normal my s8,s9,note10plus,note20 ultra,s21ultra all was the same when installing Whitestone dome glass under uv light
Reinforces that adhesive bezel whereabouts.
Looked like that on my 2XL when I was doing Whitestone as well. I assume it's the LOCA/adhesive they use to adhere the display/digitizer to the glass etc.
