Does anyone else's phone screen flex and make a creaking sound around the left hand edge of the screen, around an inch up from the bottom. No other part of the screen flexs or creaks other than this part. The rest feels solid and won t budge. Don't know if I have a faulty unit.

Just squeezed mine all the way around and not a peep out of it. I couldn't detect any movement either...
sorta sounds like your screen isn't adhering tight to the case and if that's the case i would return it.. it will only lead to problems.

i bet its the back which is not securely fastened. Hold down the little release tab and press down firmly on all sides of backing until it is locked in place.

Hello, I took the back of completely and it still does it. It's the screen flexing in the frame. It's getting booked in for a repair. HTC said the screen should be solid.

Is it the screen or the back inside right in that area? Seems like there is hollow space where there is the dock connector on the other side.

It is around that area. But to me ITs like the screen Is flexing as if it's not secured there or the frame is flexing . Hard to tell just seems a bit strange really.

So I just got a View, and for the most part it seems to be a well-crafted device. But, when I press on the front side of the plastic piece on the bottom (right above the charging port), it makes like a cracking noise, like the plastic doesn't fit right. Does anyone else have this? I'm trying to decide whether it's major enough to try to send in for warranty/RMA, especially since I took the OTA to HC and now want to HTC unlock to flash back and do S-Off for some rom action, which I think would void the warranty :-/
Mine is very solid, no cracking at all.
just got mine today and it does have that cracking noise ..
Hmm okay....well so far is 50/50 lol so maybe its common. I noticed that the plastic piece on the bottom can be slid forward and lifted off the charge port, and the noise seems to be coming from the gap between the screen border and the plastic piece over the charge port. So, maybe I'll try putting something in the gap to see if it stops. I feel stupid doing a warranty claim for something so trivial.
no cracking here, but i got something i do not like.
the screen is not fitted correctly on the lower side of the device.
It is not in line with the rest of the metal part, in fact is aprox 1 mm above it.
If you look at it you may not see it but if you swype your finger you can feel the edge of the glass.
But otherwise it is well built device.
I do not think i am going to try to replace it(or maybe i will).
That's ok. I almost ripped my bottom off looking for the sd card slot.

Mine does the click when you press on plastic at bottom as well. I got mine from bens during the sale a few weeks ago. What about you?

Lol my View has that too! Click click click
Also afflicted with the click. Kind of annoying bit of cheapness/shodiness on an otherwise very solid device. Wondering if a silicone cover would help mask it...
I have something similar but it was on the top camera cover. Where it wraps around directly under the power button it didnt seal right, and there was a gap that irritated me. After trying to fix it with no luck I ended up sending it back to amazon and bought another. New one perfect.
After a pint or two at the pub, the lighted buttons wiggle and wave at me. Should I return the unit, or stop drinking so much?
I know many have too but mine dropped screen first. And guess what happened. It shattered. Woops, typo, I mean I shattered with happiness because it didn't break., though I do have very ugly scratches or the white plastic right on top of the glass. I have a barely there kijj case so no scratches on the sides
Just assuring you that out phone is much more stronger than the s3
I dropped it accidentally from about 1.6 metres into bricks, SCREEN LAYING FLAT! therefore I thought my xs screen was done for.
Though I heard the bottom signal thingy is poorly built (oh yeah a few odd marks there thanks to the drop) ... Lucky mine dropped from the top first
Also have scratches on my screen protector which I'll be replacing

I'm sorry about that I know how it is
Can you provide some pics of damages? You know.. For science
that's good to hear!
I dropped my HTC a few times in clubs and it never broke down I dropped some samsung phones as well.. they all died within a week after the drop
Hopefully I won't drop my SXS
My XS dropped out of my pocket whilst I was sitting on concrete... Fell less than 10cm and I have a nasty chip in the bottom part... That bit definitely isnt well built.
However the phone did then land screen down on some loose stones and there wasnt even a scratch
Anyone know if you can replace the bottom part?

I saw that today as well and was about to ask. Can anyone clarify?
One side of mine removed easily. The other not so much. But seeing as it's advised not to reuse. I'm now wondering what to do too.
Not sure if my devices is refurbished or defunct, but when i press firmly on the sides of the INC 4g, I get a similar ripple effect like when you press on your LCD monitor too hard.
I came from the Inc 2 and the build quality on that device, i would have to say is a little bit better than the 4g. Anyone else experiencing this or is my device just faulty?
Mine does that too
Same here
weird, lol mine too.
Same here.
Mine does too... but why are we pressing our screens this hard in a place that will rarely get pressed at all?

It just says something about the build quality if pushing on certain area of the phone have adverse effects. That shouldn't happen

I have this same problem. After removing my back to insert my microSD card and reattaching the back, the case no longer closes completely, with casing immediately on the bottom of the volume rocker not latching on properly. In attempting to make it, I pressed firmly on the edge and it made my screen ripple slightly for a moment.
My EVO4G would ripple when I squeezed the sides. It was one of those thing you found out about through other people complaining. Yet after a while I never even noticed that anymore. I don't think I ever needed to squeeze a phone that hard either.
Just remember. Cell phones are like cars. They used to build them well with no features, now they build them cheap with the works.
Speaking of build quality....my phone is barely 3 days old...dropped it a short distance..way shorter than more of the hundred plus times I dropped my inc 2...and the damn screen shattered.....wtf..
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
It's not necessarily how far you drop it (although there is a point at which height just overcomes everything, call it terminal velocity hehe) but it's where it hits. Tempered glass is extremely strong, but it's also tempered. An extremely light tap from just the right direction will cause it to shatter.
A perfect example of this was a gas station I worked at back in college. The glass they have that protects the cashier from an explosion is about 3 inch thick tempered glass. It would withstand an explosion of huge magnitude. I watched them replace that pane of glass one day, when they removed it, they loaded it into the back of a truck and gave it a slight rap on the corner with a hammer and it shattered in the bed of the truck. They did this intentionally by the way

Take some black electrical tape, cut a strips about 1 inch long and about 2-4 mm wide. You will want to put them under the lip of the back case, adhesive side in, on the middle left, upper right(above the antenna not on them), top and bottom. if you cut them thin enough the case will snap back on and never creak,
I had todo this on my rezound too, they made these backs really flimsy to the point where they eventually won't snap back together.
Welp I shattered my screen. I have insurance for it and my new one is already on the way. I am going to return it to the stock rom, but was wondering if there is a way to remove TWRP and get the stock secure kernel back. I know it will still say tampered/relocked but does anybody think there will be any issues when they get this one back?
There is an RUU you can run in the development forum.
So many people are doing this? Is phone just flimsy or slippery?

It is actually very sturdily built. I got a door slammed on my hand (which was holding the phone) and I dropped it onto asphalt from a height of about 6 feet. It landed almost completely flat with the glass facing down. Just bad luck on my part. I ordered a case for it, but it hadn't arrived yet. The back of the phone is covered in a silicone that is very grippy. I will say the glass on the front is EXTREMELY slick. It curves to the edges so there is no plastic or metal of any sort on the front panel. Its solid glass. When I set it on top of my closed laptop while face down it will gradually slide off even though the incline is just a few degrees away from perpendicular. I don't consider this to be an issue with build quality whatsoever. The only reason I consider it strange is because there is a notification light on the back, but I dont trust it to sit facedown anywhere due to fears that it will slide off just about any surface that isnt 110% flat. It feels better under my thumbs than any other phone I have ever had and the screen seems to resist getting covered in fingerprint smears. Its very stylish and looks gorgeous, just something to be aware of.

Don't bother returning it to stock if its going back to Asurion... They don't know the difference nor do they care.

You will be fine. If you have insurance, breaking your screen is not any different than bricking your device

So you're saying the battery gets you through the day, but it has bad battery life? And you posting this in a radom thread, away from peoples screen shots of 20 hours and 5 hours of screen on time. I would say that you are a troll that doesn't even own the phone, but I think most likely you're a robot from Samsung or Apple sent to spam the DNa forums. Now, if I could only figure out what you're advertising...other than ignorance and misinformation ...

...I think everyone forgot how horrible the feature phones used to be before smartphones boomed. My old LG Chocolate ran only for twelve hours...WHILE SCREEN OFF.
Curious if anyone else has this gap??? I'm not a machinist but if you look at my GS5 laying flat on the table you can see a noticeable gap between the screen and the silver trim on the left. Now aesthetically I couldnt care less, but im wondering if this will affect the dust and water resistance... to prove I wasnt imagining things i tried to slide a business card in between the glass and the trim and it fit, when i tried the other side there was no gap. Is this normal and would my phone still be IP certified as water resistant? Just bought it yesterday so if its an issue id like to get it resolved. I have youtubed a teardown of the phone and it looks like the screen is glued down to the lip underneath the silver trim to lock out water. So if mine is flexed or bowed out Im doubting if it is sealed properly. Thanks

I don't see any significant gap on the right side; it's the same on both sides.
Why won't you visit a local T-Mobile store if you have one nearby and compare your phone to the ones display?
