Anyone else have a slight bend in the frame of their g6? Mine seems to be bent near the bottom of the sim tray slot. No glass screen protectors will lay flat. There is always a bubble in the same spot.
Nobody else has this issue? Mine is getting worse. You can now see where the sim tray is crooked.
Nope, mine is straight.
Also seeing some screen discoloration near the bend too. Looks like its time to call tmobile.
Had a nexus 6 then a 6p for the last few years, neither of those bent on me.

I have just noticed a gap at the top of the screen above the LG logo and speaker between the glass and the bezel. It's not a uniform gap, the edges are closed tight but the gap starts getting bigger near the center (as if there is something stuck in the middle pushing the bezel up). It's a really small gap, less than a millimetre, but it is gathering dust.
It has started getting pretty cold where I live, could this be causing some kind of expansion or contraction? It could have been there since I bought it but didn't notice it. Is it a "feature" to allow the glass/bezel to expand/contract. It doesn't bother me much, just worried about any long term effects e.g. dust getting under screen, bezel snapping or gap getting bigger. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi guys,
I noticed a small problem in my xperia z. As you know, the edges fiberglass chassis protrude slightly with respect to the panels of front and back glass. in my case I noticed that where there is the door to the sim, the board seems a little less prominent, as if the rear glass was a little more prominent. your are so well? is a problem caused by overheating of the processor? is something almost imperceptible so even taking pictures you could not see
anyone can say if you have the same situation? is it normal?
it does seem a little convex here now that you've mentioned it . Only a little
Yes Only a little...but now i think the Glass rests the surfaces in that point :/
Anyother?

The glass is flexible, maybe it's that . Anyway, what problem does that cause to you?

i think that now the glass touch the surface where i put the phone.
Android i suppose that the Phone Could have an internal problem. Possible?
Just had a really good look at mine and it looks perfectly flat so wouldn't say a curve in the back was normal.

It's very very Little...like 0.1 mm. Can this compromise water proof?
I see what you mean now, if I run my finger nail across the back towards the opposite side (with USB and microSD) my nail catches on the rubber edge protruding slightly, however, on the side with the SIM slot, the glass protrudes slightly further than the rubber edge, and so my nail slips off the edge of the phone.
The problem you'll see, because of this, is that when your phone lies flat on the desk, it should be resting on the rubber edge and not touching the glass, but on the SIM side, the glass touches the desk.
It might scratch the glass/screen protector but it shouldn't be a problem otherwise.
yes it's the same thing for me!!!...so i think that the only problem is the scratch of screen protector.
I restored the original form with a vise and a phone...but when i play a game and the phone became hot the problem return...so i think that is a stock
behavior of xperia z. the convex is imperceptible but the rear glass touch the surface and i can see some scratches on the sony stock film.I would not want that water came from this small curvature!
Anyone else experience this? I actually put mine into a screen protector and case the first day I got it. Popped it out yesterday and found the bezel scratched to high heaven. I hate piano black plastic.
I think the case traps dust under there that grinds it away worse, but I can't imagine it fairing well naked for very long.
Edit: only had this thing since the 9th.

I have never had mine in a regular case. I do have one of those leather "pocket" style cases I slide it in and out of when I have got it in my jeans. Mine is as nice as the day I got it I think. I also put a screen protector on day 1.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
I have had a Skinomi protector and Trident Aegis case on my phone from the first 15 minutes of owning my X. I am a machinist so my phone frequently sees metal shavings and coolant from my hands on a regular basis. My phone still looks brand new from launch day when I take my case off. The mesh over the external speaker does wonders as every few days I have to blow off some of the finer shavings. And every other week I take the case off to clean out the very little dust that gets in it. I would suggest a different case if you are having cosmetic issues.

I had the black model and after 3 days I noticed a couple of nicks on the bezel myself. I take perfect care of my devices and it hadn't been bumped or anything. I swapped it for the white model that way it doesn't show and scratches or dust.Still looks brand new after a few weeks.
My Moto X has fallen out of my lofted bed (~7ft high) 3 times now, and all that's happened is that a tiny little nick in the bottom bezel. nothing else. no screen cracks, dents, anything! This phone is built like a tank!
I've had mine for about 3 weeks, no case, just a screen pro. Only damage I have is from when I accelerated hard in my truck and my phone flipped out of my mount, it flew out flipping and the bottom of the phone hit the rim of a red bull can... It left a small dent/nick On the back portion of the bezel :'(
Bought a better mount and since then haven't had any other signs of wear.

Wow, lots of folks posted about the soft screen which resulted in a screen protector being applied, however now the talk is about screen peeling. I hear the fix is Moto charges 50 bucks and adds another screen or screen protector. Not sure whats going on so about you folks........any screen peeling problems/solutions. This could be a major FAIL again on this flag ship!
No issues here.

I don't have a problem with it and my screen has been abused already although if your having that issue then you may have done something to it on accident I don't believe it's the phone
yes the screen is VERY soft. small nick-nack scratches on mine. The glass protectors don't really fit, and because of the plastic cover motorola installed, its makes the touches very inaccurate when a tempered glass protector is installed.
next version, I hope they just go flat glass and leave the so called shatterproof technology alone
No issues at all. Screen protector fit perfectly from day one and it applied fast.
Removed Plastic coating
My screen was scratched pretty bad so I removed the plastic screen. I used a heat gun and digital thermometer and did the same steps as you would replacing the digitizer. You can heat the screen up to 180 to 200 degrees without damaging the board,screen, or and digitizer. It can go higher but don't push it this the only fragile part of the phone I found so far but it is. I used a razor blade after heating the screen up and at the corner carefully to start peeling the coating and once you get started a little at the corner start using the cards Don't pull on the plastic when the glue soften because you will be pulling the screen the rest of the plastic is still stuck to use playing cards to get between the lcd and the plastic coating which is basically a factory installed screen protector with a lot of sticky glue. Don't force the card push as far as you can with light pressure when it won't progress any further stop and heat the screen up again grab another playing card and continue to use cards to take that plastic coating off. And you want to leave the cards as you go. When done you are going to have to clean the residue off it will take a little time but when your done put on a high end protector like I used the Za??. My screen works perfectly to the touch and those scratches are not there except one and is was the san andreas fault of scratches before I took the coating off..
I removed mine also. Although I used a less technical method. I just pulled the top layer off and then spent some time scratching at the screen with my fingernail and using alcohol to help with the glue. Took a while for sure. I heard Goo Gone works great for me this.
I got my Z2 Force shortly after the launch date last year, and I have had zero issues with it. It's obvious that the shattershield screen is easily scratched, so I put a screen protector on it right away and it remains scratch free to this day. There's a lot of bad screen protectors out there these days that are warped and won't stay adhered to the screen, so it's important to look at those reviews to make sure you get a good one. I should also note that I constantly flip my phone around in my hand for some reason and I end up dropping it all the time, and I still have had no issues at all. There's not a sign of peeling anywhere.
I wish I hadn't taken off my case to check. I found some very small micro scratches around the bezel. Can only see under bright light at specific angles but knowing they are there really messes with my ocd. I've only had the phone for a few days. I'm sure that any note 8 held under lighting would have the same scratches right? I'm wondering if my case caused them. It's the unicorn beetle pro and it has a hard plastic piece you attach to the front/sides before popping it into the hard rubber/plastic shell. It's very secure. They could have been there as soon as I got. The phone... I didn't inspect the bezel under a direct light like I did today. Doesn't move in it whatsoever... My s7 edge didn't have this issue because the bezels on it aren't shiny like this phone. Is there any possible way to lightly polish them out? They are seriously tiny. Can't feel them with a fingernail or anything. Any idea if the bezel is stainless steel on the orchid gray model or is it just painted plastic? Or should I return it and get a different one... Still in 14 day window.

That's why I never use a case that has hard inner shell or frame. Sorry to hear about that.

Which color is more likely to show micro scratches? The shiny silver bezel or the black? I know I read somewhere about the black bezel paint coming off. Also I don't see how the case would of caused this. It doesn't move around in the plastic shell whatsoever once you snap it on. I know I could find the Sam kind of micro scratches on every phone under the right lighting though.

My black one has them too. I bought mine used, but it was only a month old. The previous owner kept in a case and a screen protector from day one.
Well, dust between the back of the phone and the case caused some scratches at the bottom of the back glass. And the bottom of the metal frame has scratches that look like they are from taking the case on and off. I just put a clear protective skin on the back and frame and you cant see the scratches.
The worst is the screen. He used a TGSP with the dot matrix pattern. These notoriously allow dust in under the TGSP. Well one speck of dust in the middle of the screen actually etched a spot into the glass. Its tiny and only visible under bright direct light. But it's there. I switched to a full adhesive TGSP and you cant see it at all.
I'm OCD about my phones too. I wish mine was 100% mint. But on the other hand, I only paid $540 for it (sold my S8+ for $585), and I can relax a little knowing its NOT perfect, if that makes sense.

Man it's such bs. When I look at it in normal light in my room I see nothing.. Looks perfect... But when I use the camera flash from my s7 edge and shine it I see little lines everywhere along the bezels.... I can't imagine any note 8 without these? On the other hand my s7 edge has none bcuz it isn't a shiny finish like the note 8... Is the black bezel trim shiny like the orchid gray? I'm considering ordering that one.
Wait so you got a skin that goes over the actual Bezels of the phone?
Idk what to do... The bezel looks perfect under normal light... Can't see any lines "scratches" or anything, but when I take a photo of it with flash on, wherever the actual flash hits I can see these lines. Is this normal or what.

If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it. And I'm pretty OCD. But only you will know if you're happy with it or not.
I just don't get how all these micro scratches have appeared. Definitely not the case... They are in areas where the case doesn't even contact the phone. I really want to know if all orchid Grey note 8s will have the same "scratches" under flash. I have a hard time even calling these scratches. And it truly does bug me because I spent a lot of time researching cases etc to maintain a perfect phone.
Send it back ASAP. Your mental well being is far more important than that. LOL
