I’ll post some pics later, but wondering if anyone else has a gap between the glass and bezel on the right side of the phone? The left side seems pretty flush with the glass.

crapy pic, but here it is...

Mines like that too. I thought it was normal. I was worried about crud getting in the crack but its been fine and doesn't affect anything on the phone.
I just tried to take a macro shot of it and had no luck. Wonder if I should swap it out. Really don't want to get stuck with one that actually has an issue.
i'm more worried about dust under the glass. having that gap, i'm sure it will

Closer inspection shows there is some dust in there but not a lot at all. I have 8 days to decide on swapping it. Don't know how many returns wirefly allows.
Where did you get your phone from? Would they swap it out for that.

Mine does not have that issue.
To be fair, there is a tiny (I mean really tiny) gap on both sides but nothing that looks out of place. It appears it's by design.
Yours appears to be much worse.

I pulled my case off just to check and i have a very noticeable gap on the left and bottom sides of my screen. Its not enough of a reason for me to exchange it but its there. I always have the body glove case on so i dont ever see it

I believe that these small gaps are by design, seriously. Think about the dispersion of shock when the device hits the ground. If it was perfectly flush with the
metal it would be way more likely to crack instantly..with the gap some energy escapes giving the glass a small but crucial release of pressure.

Thinking about doing an exchange but I'm worried about getting this issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300133&highlight=quadrant
Seems to he pretty common. I personally dont have the issue or any issues build wise on my current phone. Its risky because I think I can only exchange one time.
Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Going in to exchange it tomorrow morning and gonna check the hell out of the phone before I leave the store.
I noticed it more today when I got my TPU case and the right side would get caught up on the gap.
Better pics of the gap. one of the left with the smallest gap and one of the right like grand canyon (ok...may not as big, but close )

The manual clearly states the main antenna is located in the lower right corner of the phone, so you shouldn't be having a problem unless you're mistaken about left/right

While I agree the phone drops signal randomly, there's no physical flaw that would cause it to drop while holding it a certain way. The only reason it happened to the iPhone is because the metal band around the phone was actually part of the antenna.

Not too sure about that... the manual that came with the GSM Nexus stated that covering the main antenna would cause problems..

Nobody death grips in normal, everyday use.
If i put my hand on the upper back of the phone i go from 4bars wifi to 2bars.. so i would guess the antenna sits in this area.

confirmed ... most all phones exhibit this behavior though
No change in signal bar but signal stregnth goes from
-73dbm 20 asu to -81 dbm 16 asu. so Yes there is an effect.
But all my other phones had this issue at some point
from worst to better.

A little bit of common sense would help.
Humans are bags full of water. Water dampens radio waves. So yes, your hand will decrease the signal strength if you wrap it around the antenna area - on all mobile phones.

Since those humans have a lot less than 1% Schnaps in them, it doesn't affect the dampening very much.

Hello,
I've bought a new galaxy note 2 for 2 months.
I discovered a strange problem that I cannot write anything at the right edge of the screen by the S-Pen and when I try to write beside the edge I find the drawn line goes to right edge although I didn't move it to right!
Anyone face this Problem before? The guarantee provider here in Egypt says that's a misuse fault.
I use the stock ROM.

does your Case have a magnet in it by chance? IF it does try without the case
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
The extreme right near the screen behaves little different to the rest of the screen. There is about half a milometer part right next to the edge that does not register pen input properly. If you keep drawing the line there vertically, it will not be drawn smoothly as it happens on left edge, it will appear on screen in steps like you are joining two dots using line tool. That is normal behaviour for Note 2. That little half a millimeter part does behave like that on all Note 2s. If this is what you are saying, then that is not really a fault. I have it on 3 different Note 2s in family.
I have the same thing, on the left side
Your digitizer or the part that detects speb motion is damaged.
Hardware problem.
Get it replaced.

You're right. I tried without the Case and the problem started to hide partially. I could write in the right edge where the magnet was preventing me. But the lines still go to right as something attracts them like magnet! The influenced area is nearly a centimeter from right.

That is quiet severe and should not be like that. If you have warranty, take the phone back to Samsung service center.
If you have any kind of case, cover remove them. Try restart and write again. 90% of such sort of problems caused by case, back cover, dominant hand settings.. I've had this many time with my note and note 2. Every time I've found some stupid reasons that was causing phone to screw spen functionality.

Hi. Have you tried writing on the right edge with your left hand? Or you can try writing on the right edge with your S pen held upright and not slanted. I noticed my S pen is able to right on the edge if it is held upright or when the left hand is used. I hope this helps.

I tried that and the writing on the right edge had been improved. But the problem of going lines to right as a magnet attracts them is still there.

It's his case I think. He can write on the edge on the upper and lower part but when he gets to the magnetic part of the case he can't write. I have the same type of casing and I experience the same thing til I switched to another case without magnets.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
is there a metal frame inside the GNote2 which can be magnetised?
Just a question, does anyone's S4 have a little line on the upper right edge(The metal band)?
Also, just a fyi, these plastic battery door are fragile. Somehow, I got a little dent on my battery door right above the T, on the T-mobile logo..

Ok here's a photo from another site with what I think you might be talking about.
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/05/09/broken-corner-around-the-display-of-the-galaxy-s4/
Now there's two things here, the line where the fat metal band was fused together/bent around the corners, very faint but visible. There's also a very visible line on the top part of the metal band. This is where the people from the other website were having issues, is one of these what you're talking about?
On my own white GS4, there is a faint line on all of the corners of the fat metal band, but nothing on the thin one.
yep. That's what I'm taking about. Except I dont have 1 on my bottom left.

Is it normal for the screen to rainbow with pressure (force)?
I noticed a slight rainbow on the right edge of the screen when I put pressure (not light, I would say medium pressure).
I noticed when applying a screen protector and pushing bubbles out with my thumb with pressure.
Is this normal or a defect?

For a PC Monitor it is normal, but that is a solid Smartphone with Gorilla Glass.
I don't think that it's normal.
Depending on how high the pressure really is.
Do you have this effect only on one side (right) or on all sides?
You should check all sides with normal pressure,if the display springs back and for on one side.
That can be an indication that the display on this spot is loose.
If that is the case, you should talk with your distributor.
On my m8 the Display was loose on the left side.
I've checked it on my One X and on my One m7 and I don't have this effect.

This isn't a resistive screen, its capacitive. It should take a good deal of pressure to cause any discoloration or banding on these types of screens. When yours breaks, I don't want to see you post about it or I'll make sure to refer you to this post.

Mine is also the same as op but those T-Mobile dicks refused to exchange it since the display model did the same. I guess it's not too big of a deal doesn't show up unless I press with my fingernail with medium pressure. Normal touches doesn't do anything.
