It is louder when the tablet isn't flat on a surface I was just limited while filming this.
The second Pixel C is making a clicking sound when pressing on the screen.
Lol, never noticed it on two I had last month but would not be surprised if they had it as I remember seeing another post about this.Google needs to issue a general recall for this device.
Mines fine.
I was just debating returning mine for doing it. Seems to have gotten worse lately.
my tablet seems to be fine
Mine has some give in the exact same area but nothing as bad as yours. I have to push somewhat hard on the screen for it to click. Not ideal but i will never press that hard in everyday use... Would definitely RMA your though .At this point I would assume Google can't be too Picky about RMAs given the ridiculous amount of issues with the Pixel C
There is already another thread on this.
I'm on my second Pixel and it's still doing it, although this one is MUCH less pronounced. I'd RMA that fo'sho'.
Mine only does it when you know exactly where to push and push fairly hard, as such I won't be RMA'ing it unless it gets worse over time.
Yea the one on the right was the replacement it kinda does it in one spot if I press really hard but the first one would click even just tapping in that area while it was attached to the keyboard.
Maybe it's an strange question. Did you try smelling near the tablet when you did this? I try it and a strong smell like glue or some cleaning product comes out from the tablet. Hopefully I'm not crazy and is not hazardous. Please try it. Thanks!!

Hi Guys,
Just got my Huawei watch and since I´ve powered it on for the first time I am noticing a weird pattern of stripes on gray screens, on the settings menu for instance (a XDA member told me that's called banding). It´s hard to capture this on camera, but I am posting some pictures so you can see what I am talking about. Have anyone noticed something like that? Is this a problem or it´s nothing and I am overreacting? I couldn´t find any reports on this and this is not (as far as I know) related to the red tint issue.
On an unrelated matter, I also find the crown to be a little wobbly, and not very satisfying to press (it doesn’t make a good clicking sound). Is it supposed to be like this?
I appreciate your help.
Banding. Mine has none at all...I was actually looking for it when I first got the watch.
My button has a little play, but it clicks just fine.

I don't have that on mine but if it's bad I would exchange it. My button is rock solid and the screen is flawless so I'm glad I received a good one. I don't recommend things unless I know they are good and I like my watch from experience. Its been 3 weeks now and I love it the same as the first time I opened it.
Thank you for the reply!
I didn't know the technical term, thanks. I am going to edit the thread to use the right terminology.
Why did you look for banding? Why were you expecting this problem?
Should I return my watch? It's not so easy for me because I don't live in the US, so I would have to pay international shipping and I would not be able to buy a new one.

Just one of the things I check when getting a new device.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Is it a big deal? Can it get worse over time? Cause if it stays the way it is I can deal with it, specially because how hard it is for me to return it.
The first one I picked up had noticeable banding (a little less than yours), so I decided to pick up another one. The second one was worse. I fear it may just be the nature of the technology and I don't have the time and energy to keep gambling for a better unit.
At this point I'm undecided if I'm going to keep the watch. It's a shame as it is a really nice looking device.
Btw - both watches had wobbly buttons, but that isn't really too bothersome.
Thank you very much for your reply! You are the first other person to report this issue. I was starting to think that I had terrible luck with that unit.
Well, mine went back to Amazon. And since I don't live in the US, it's hard for me to try again (have to wait for a friend to go there). And even if I had a second chance, I am not willing to take the risk of getting another bad watch. At this point I am very much considering the new Moto 360. It's got its flaws, but at least it doesn't have such wide spread issues.
Would you consider returning yours and trying the 360? If not, why's that? I would like to learn your opinion.
Thank you again!
Not a problem! I also considered the 2015 Moto 360 (42mm), but decided on the Huawei Watch. The Moto 360 is a very stylish watch and Moto Maker is downright awesome. However, the 2 reasons I chose the Huawei Watch are the reportedly bad dim mode and the "flat tire". I enjoy using WatchMaker to create watch faces and I'd rather not have to design around the flat tire. A friend of mine has the previous Moto 360 and doesn't mind it, though. I think it's more of a subjective issue.
I'm doing my best to get used to the banding and I think that it is only noticeable in straight gray environments (though that includes settings). I have a feeling that I'll notice it less and less over time, but your watch had worse issues than mine and I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, mine was very noticeable.
Do you think I should try a new one? How confident are you that the HW is going to hold up over time?
Do you think that the Moto 360 has a better chance of lasting longer? (no burn in, can charge the battery easily without having to buy a proprietary charger to carry around)?
I would appreciate your opinion.
I know this is a pretty old thread but I didn't want to start a new one for a similar issue. I got my watch today and I notice banding on my display as well. It's mostly visible with solid colors. I'm debating exchanging it with Huawei (I bought it direct through them). I'm trying to determine if this is normal or a defect

My watch had different banding. It was more noticeable in gray screens. It didn't have any banding in solid colors. I ended up returning mine. If it's easy for you I would exchange it. Good luck
So I received my Pixel C this past Thursday and have been using it. I have noticed some quality issues though now with a weekend of use. I have a gap in the corner by the power button and the screen. Not big enough to fit a finger nail but it will fit 3 posted notes thick in the gap. It runs about 3in down starting at that corner. Another one I ended up noticing just this morning while using it without the keyboard is that when holding it land scape and touching the screen about 3in from the left and 3in up from the bottom the screen makes a clicking noise every time. Just in that one spot. If I move a even a 1/4in any direction but that spot it doesn't happen. I don't even have to push that hard to cause it.
I love everything about this tablet so far but these two things really bug me. What has been the success rate at getting an RMA for things like this? Will they send me a new tablet first and then I can send mine back or do I have to send mine back and be without it for a few days?

IMO the click is a design flaw, every Pixel C I've had (I RMAd mine once) and basically read about has this click.
I'm on my second with the gap between the screen and case below the power button. Not great
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Theses complaints of the tiny gap are pretty nit-picky, IMO.
I work on tons of devices as a part of my day job and you come to accept that there is a certain level of variation in literally everything. Nobody will notice that tiny gap but you and it literally does not affect the function of the device. I've seen plenty of apple products with the same kinds of inconsistencies.
Yes, these devices aren't cheap... but they're not a to be taken for granted either. My Pixel C has these gaps, and I still am enjoying the hell out of it. We are privileged to have such easy access to such awesome things nowadays.
#FirstWorldProblems
@Yadao, it's still a wonderful device, but there's no reason to accept poor build quality where one section does not fit with another. It should be às flush as it is around the rest of the screen. Anything less is faulty.

Hi, can anyone please share to me whats the name of this tablet ro.product.model and ro.product.device ? Thanks!

Hmmm if other have this gap even after RMA maybe it is not even worth trying then and is just an issue with the power button area.

I don't think it's a design flaw, as noone would plan for such an issue and mine does not have it at all! What I do have, however, is a nasty yellow splotch in the corner where the charging port is located. Got the RMA confirmation today and while I find Google's customer support in Germany is admirable, I'm not so impressed with the quality control of the Pixel C.
Not sure if this is the best thread to post this in but I didn't really feel it appropriate to start a thread on this.
Based on what I've read everything seems to be working well with the Pixel. I'm considering buying one but I've got one reservation: It uses an Nvidia SoC. I've struck out on multiple tablets using Nvidia chips - TF201 (Tegra 3), TF701 (Tegra 4), Nexus 7 (Tegra 3?) and most recently Nexus 9 (Tegra K1). Each tablet performed extremely well out of the box. I was very pleased for the first few months but eventually the "jank" came in. With the Asus tablets it was blamed on NAND flash speeds and other issues. I don't know what the excuse is for either Nexus' but my 9 stutters harder than my Snapdragon Nexus 7 2013. So far the only tablet to stand the test of time is my 2013 Nexus. The common theme here is Nvidia chips.
I'm looking for some level of assurance or confidence that this tablet won't go the route of my previous tablets with Nvidia chips. Obviously user experience right now doesn't tell me a lot because my tablets ran great for a while. Does anyone have any technical knowledge to clarify the issues with my previous tablets and explain what will keep this one from degrading the same way?
Apologies if this has been discussed in another thread. I tried to find something that answered my question directly.
Mine has started to reboot randomly since there last MM update :-\ will RMA potentially refund if it doesn't go away.
I'm feeling a bit meh about this tablet seems a lack of development going on...might just refund and grab a surface 3 pro.

You don't seem to be the only one suffering from that problem. To be fair, the Surface 3 Pro costs more than twice as much as the Pixel C. However, at some point one has to come to terms with the principle of "you get what you pay for". http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...om-reboots-after-the-may-over-the-air-update/
I must've hit the lottery because I got mine in December and I don't have a single issue with it.

Same here, running today Android N preview 3, never had any hardware or quality issues
I have the exact same clicking screen issue on the Pixel C that I received, sounds like it is in the exact same place as well. I contacted Google and they sent out a replacement without any questions and guess what, the replacement has the same problem only even louder, certainly seems like a design flaw and don't know whether I should bother trying for a 3rd unit.
On a side not my first replacement was lost in transit and Google customer service was terrible in dealing with that so hope nobody else gets faced with the same problem
My experience has been similar to most in this thread. I ordered the 64 GB version.
Device 1 - Worked fine initially, and then I noticed the clicking noise/tactile sensation on the left hand side of the device. I contacted Nexus support through chat and was sent a replacement unit no questions asked. When Device 2 arrived I began evaluating the two to decide which to keep. However, suddenly Device 1 began having severe display issues. Namely, the right hand side of the screen started showing a smeared jumble of pixels during boot up. Once booted up if I tapped the right hand side a few times the display would update to the current display then freeze again. This rendered the device unusable. Therefore for better or worse I had to use Device 2.
Device 2 - Out of the box I found Device 2 to have a loud clicking noise near the power led strip. I could actually feel the case flexing/clicking as well. Thankfully after a full charge that noise went away. Of course the left hand side of the device had the same clicking noise as Device 1. I contacted Nexus support over chat, and found them to be much less accommodating this time. I was told that the clicking noise was a part of the design and that it had no affect on the performance/quality of the device. I explained that I had a hard time accepting that considering the first device's touchscreen/display failed me shortly after I noticed the clicking noise. I requested a supervisor/manager contact. Initially the manager towed the same line and refused to do anything for me. I reiterated time after time that a 600$ device should not have case flex/popping noises. Finally I was offered a third replacement with the caveat that it could very well have the same clicking noise. This lead me to believe that the issue is widespread and google doesn't care much to fix it. I accepted the offer for a third device as long as I was assured the device would be NEW and not a REFURB/RETURN.
I'm currently awaiting the arrival of Device 3. I also have a Lenovo Miix 700 (Core m7, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) I picked up from Costco for 799.99 which I am considering. If the third Pixel C has issues I may just stick with the Lenovo.
I also tried the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S, but I found the keyboard/case's two positions to be unacceptable. Neither was comfortable for me, and the 4GB of ram with a core m3 was just not enough power for Windows 10 IMO. A shame considering the fit/finish was exceptional and the display was awesome.
In the end I may end up waiting for a new Surface model which features Type C, or a better Android tablet.
To those of you who have Pixel C units without clicking I an envious because other then that I really like the device. Though I am still puzzled by the lack of GPS/NFC functionality.
Couple questions. Can anyone move their home button at all vertically? Mine does slightly only on the left side. Also if I just barely push/click it on the very right corner of the button I can make it click without a response however if I push it with normal force on the right it responds like normal. I can't do this on the very left side/corner. That side is very sensitive and if I barely touch it it responds. The feel/sound is a little different when I push the right side too. It's definitely a tighter fit on that side.
I'm wondering if I should go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement because of this. My s6 had a bad wobbly loose home button and it was annoying. I ordered my phone through Verizon customer service through an upgrade. If I want them to send me a new one they have to charge me $200 again and then when I send one back I have to wait 10 days for a refund.. And the closest Verizon store is almost 2 hours away
I'm also hesitant to swap bcuz first charge on this one and I'm already getting over 6 hours on screen time and I haven't even disabled any bloatedware yet. It however does have the gap/light leak all around but apparently majority of them have that. Advice? What would you do in my position? Thanks guys... Wish I could just get a perfect device for once.
I have been reading your multiple threads about your issues, I think you are not comfortable with the device and would advise you the get an exchange without hesitation. In my experience, when I start finding multiple flaws on anything, that is just my subconcious telling me I am not comfortable. Go get it exchanged, you will be much happier.

I also noticed the OP complainings. This is the best advice he can get.
Honestly I think most home buttons are exactly the same. I just have ocd and I'm anal over stuff like this. I notice little things that most people don't. It's just impossible to get a perfect unit. Every single one will have something it seems. There's nothing really wrong with it. I have to purposely barely press it in one side for it not to register. I might go to Walmart and see if they will show me a few units just to see if I find any better but idk. Performance wise this one has been amazing and the battery is blowing me away.

Dude, let me stop you right there. The best cure for this, after your medicine, is the following logic:
The reason you are freaking out is the excitement of a new gadget and you want it to be perfect. But everything that exists is flawed and nothing lasts.
Think how your phone will be worthless in one year when they will release the new Model with 4k Display, 806 PPI with awesome VR experience.
You won't give a damn sht about the home button on the model you are holding right now. In 5 years your phone will be as worthless as garbage.
Just enjoy your phone try new apps, and don't think about issues before they even exists. If one day your phone's home button stops working, then you will think about it.
gl dude!
I carry my Pixel XL in my left pants pocket with baggy jeans and I've been noticing when I lay my pixel on a flat surface that it's twisted a bit. If I push on a corner it will rock back and forth corner to corner. If I give it a slight tweak with my hands it will go back to normal. I thought maybe it was just my case moving around a bit but I popped the phone out of the case and it does it without the case too. I confirmed with one other person that theirs is doing the same thing. I never had this issue with my 6P. Just wondering if anyone else had noticed this.

Right but when I give it a tweak with my hands very lightly it will then lay flat. I've tried it on at least 10 different surfaces too. I think a few of them would have been flat at least.

I do t see how you could possibly twist the phone. It seemed very durable in all the test
I saw one pixel that sold on swappa with damaged corners from it being dropped. When I looked at the pictures, I asked the OP if it was twisted or an illusion, obviously no reply.. But it was severely twisted.
Mine is so extremely subtile that it's hard to see but I can look across the screen from one end to the other and see that there's a slight twist.

You probably canceled your order for nothing. That video is about the Pixel 2 and not the Pixel 2 XL.
If you had done some research you'd see that the place where it snaps is where the antenna bands are on the Pixel 2, the Pixel 2 XL doesn't have it's antenna bands in the same place so it won't snap/bend.
Had a 6P and my phone never bent under every circumstances I gave it.
Pixel 2 XL could be different then the Pixel 2...

He said he couldn't cancel fast enough so he's getting it right? And do you really think the LG G6 fan ever really ordered it? The G6 was released in March so it's only been out around 6 months and he orders an XL 2? I guess anything is possible but the naysayers and trolls are invading like a Halloween mashup.
All in all I think the phone did pretty well in that silly test. What kind of water resistance does it have? I mean can you drop it into a bucket.. err toilet and pull it out and it not get damaged?
That isn't the 2XL. Plus JRE applies an obscene amount of force to the phones he tests.

Or just don't try to break your phone in half. Or put in in your back pocket and sit on it (seriously, who does that??). Or try to cut it in half with a utility box cutter. These tests are so far removed from "real world" scenarios it is lunacy to base your device choice on them. He also called the Nexus 6P "a joke" and from a hardware perspective my 6P looks as good today as the day it was bought.
Seriously, re-order your Pixel 2, enjoy it when it arrives and ignore the pointless tests in that video.
Lol the paranoia going around in these forums about all these "issues" . Unreal

It's paranoia man. People seems to have a bit extra here one the Google pixel forums. Funny enough I went to a theme park where one of the rides applied a crazy amount of pressure to my lap where my phone was. The lap bar literally landed on top of my phone and was on it throughout the whole ride. Would you guess what happened? Absolutely nothing.

fyi I posted a yt video of p2xl water testing.
Believe it was the iFixit teardown where they showed the 2 XL has a magnesium core (aka strong) where its cousin the LG G6 had a plastic core. Seems OP may have gone the wrong direction...
I feel like I lost some iq points watching that. Scratching paint off with a utility knife is not a durability test. I'd never expect a phone to tolerate that.
Boring video.... I'll be partying with my badboy XL 2! Cheers ?????
Magnesium is stronger than aluminum and titanium. I think we're good
