You're not alone, but I don't know what's going on in that thread because I'm not experiencing it.

Funny. I acctually looked at that thread but my xda premium crap app didn't display the picture so I thought it was about something else. Thanks for the link.

I also have a white note that did the same thing about 2 weeks after I got it. I just bought a bumper case and hope for the best

Creaky

Hey, just wondering if anyone else's MoPho kind of "creaks," esp. the battery cover, or if its just mine. Thanks.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yeah especially on the bottom right side.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Mine does bottom center but everywhere else is tight. Only "issue" I've had.
Thanks, just wanted to make sure mine wasnt the only one.

Mine creaked so I complained to Moto customer service and they sent me a brand new back door free. Installed it and the creak is gone. Its an easy fix!
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yep same here... and did same as above. Got on Motorola support site, spent 5 minutes on their chat support, few days later had a free back cover. Squeak is gone now. Looks identical. Not sure what's different but it works! No reason not to try it.
This ^ is why I love XDA.

No creak here....but now I know what to do if it starts lol!
Mine did for a while, but after a few times of removing and replacing the back cover, it stopped.

Tpu case turning brown

Anybody have a problem with their tpu case turning into a yellowish/brown tint? It was completely clear when I bought it. Washing didn't help

You can try bleaching it? You can't prevent it.... your phone WILL get hot under load.

Lol... I googled while at work and skimmed through links and saw it come up a few times so posted it... I was a lil out of it... My bad
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
honestly unless you paid a lot for the case i say just get a new one. being the type of plastic it is most chemicals would probably damage it. they are cheap enough to get new one.
Ok thanks everybody, I can try bleach but I'msure the smell would stick. No it's not expensive. Another one wouldn't be too bad. I remember something about a solution that you could spray on but couldn't find it. Thanks again!
btw hit the thanks button for you all!

Buy a black one? Or a different brand?
I know, not really a solution, but a cover that changes color within a few weeks or months ... can't be made with very good material.

GS3 Bezel

Well, i finally dropped it. I wa sitting down and the phone was sitting in my pocket. (Small pockets+big phone, not a good idea). When i got up it slipped out of my pocket and rolled a bunch of times. Luckily, nothing happened to the screen bt the bezel is chipped pretty bad on 3/4 corners. Just wanna know, will samsung replace it? How much will it be? And is there any other alternate solution thats cheaper?
Thanks

Hey, really sorry to hear that!
Ok now i don't think samsung will do anything unless it's a mistake from their side. Still you can go and ask them and if they agree with to change the bezel then very good! I am pretty inexperienced about this thing but telling you from what I've heard and seen. If they don't agree then you might have to pay them to change the bezel.

Yeah im pretty sure they wont replace without a fee. Thanks for the reply!
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda app-developers app
Also, replacing the bezel might be expensive. I read that it's attached to the screen.

Yeah, that sucks
But honestly, i dont know why samsung used so much plastic on a premium device. The bezel couldve been made out of something much stronger. Look at the iphone 5, i know it lacks in software but i gotta give it to apple, they made it out of very strong and materials.

Have look in accessories section if someone has replaced one .

Have you not read all the bad reviews about the iPhone 5 chipping on the corners of the bezel? Just search Google

Thoughts of the Samsung Super Bowl commercial?

Did anyone else see this? There was a mention of the S- pen and Galaxy. Didn't not say anything about the Note II. Could it be a tease for the Galaxy S4? Or possibly the next Note device? They have a very quick glimpse of it, it did not seem to be a tablet. Looked like a phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I also caught they never showed the phone or had a specific name for the phone.
It was a Note II.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The did show it. Front and back view, but it's only shown for a split second. The video is OK on you tube. I took a screen shot and zoomed in... It looks like it is just the Note 2. But I can't say with 100% certainty

The color was a light blue, so I guess they are gonna bring out new colors? And if you look closely, you can see a hinge on the right side as if it has a built in screen cover.

It was a flip cover. Best buy has plenty of them in different colors.

Yeah, I suppose your right. Just really odd that they avoided calling it a Note Ii. Only referencing the S- pen and " Galaxy"

saw this commercial two weeks ago posted on an apple site (they post anything samsung related these days just to have something to hate) .....I'm guessing it's the S4....they treat the note as a second class device 2 the S phones for some reason

For those of you with the white notes

So I think it's been about a year since I remember those threads popping up with white note users seeing pressure cracks around their screen. I was one of them and just unfortunately accepted it. I figured a little crack was no big deal.
But.. how many do you have now?
I'm at 16.

The left side as you look at screen had three cracks EXACTLY Same place as my girlfriend white note. Literally.

No pictures? I have a black one and want to see what you guys are talking about.
None on my white note... I guess I got lucky
None on mine either....
I'm up to 9 cracks on my white Note. This is the 2nd one too.
I've had an otter box on my white note since I got it went to a bar out in Oakland and dropped it down an impressive flight of stairs. I now have a nice two inch crack from speaker to front camara. Phone still works like a champ though.

If you don't notice them on yours then not worth looking for. Once you see them you can't un-see them lol.
No cracks on my white note screen but there are 2 cracks on the white plastic around the screen. One buy the volume keys and one by the head phone jack.

I have plenty of those haha. Mind you I bought my Note used and it was not the prettiest the screen even moves if you pinch the top corner! I do not abuse phones, my S2X is mint, but the price was right for the Note. Still love it
