Dropped your O1, Having problems or is it fine?

And finally it happened, I accidently dropped my o1 on the carpet floor, and now I have these bands of lines about 20px wide one at edge and the other in the middle. The colors seem a bit lighter in those areas. Nothing unbearable but hell I thought the O1 was pretty durable. Guess I have to live with it now..
Any one else over here who dropped there phone?

dropped like 3 times on asphalt, nothing happened except scratches
Dropped and accidentally kicked it while running! Back key didn't work for two days.
dropped mine about 10 times until now only on asphalt and 'them bathroom floor-like tiles'...only scratches and battery keeps popping out every time. but no problems until now(although the power key works kinda funny)
Have dropped it once, it was on the table with bag, damn bag's strap taked phone with it ... but nothing happened, not even a scratch. Mine looks like new, I just are good owner.
I think I literally throw mine around. To soft places though. I drooped it face down on concrete it was fine, dropped it on carpet and the battery dropped out but it was fine.

The first time I dropped mine i was so sketched. Literally threw it at concrete. But it was fine.
Then, I dropped it getting out of my truck and now I have a little touchscreen deadzone at the bottom right of my screen so no touch works there. But, it's really spotty so it still works but swype is a pain in the ass.
But whatever, besides that it's quite a beast
I dropped mine many times, but I had a case on for all the drops so no problems.

I end up dropping mine fairly frequently, probably up to eight now. I have a minor divot in the glass (higher than the screen) and some scratches on the corners, but it works fine.
O1 is the best!

Nexus 10 back loose/ creaky?

Hi guys,
My Nexus 10's back, on the left side when facing the screen, has a slight creak to it when pressed. Does anybody else's have this (it can be slightly hard to find at first)? I'm curious, as I'm not sure if there is a DIY way to fix it, and whether or not it is a common occurrence.
I get a click or two from the removable strip but I assume that is just it moving in its seating. Very minor and not a problem. I ignore it.
Yeah, I have that, too. Nothing seems to indicate that the cover is loose somehow, though. Seems to me that it's just the rubber. I wouldn't worry about it. Of course, I wouldn't go choking it there, either.

I too get a "Crack Sound" or creak when I grab my tablet from the left side.
Mine is same although my removable strip actually has a probg yhat won't go it so it juts out... Very annoying but I have a case.
So, besides the creaking sound (which doesn't bother me too much), my back actually has two "bubbles" where the back material meets the dimpled strip, and when you look at the tablet top-down, you can actually see the two gaps where the rubbery material is lifted up higher than the dimpled strip. The "bubbles" are basically directly above the "N" and "S"...
I'm assuming this isn't normal and should probably go get an exchange at the store, right?

My left rear has a little more give than the right. Otherwise, the build is clean and sturdy. Did hear a noise once when i was gripping it at a funny angle. Of course if I grip my Vivid wrong the rear plate falls off and the battery even drops out at times. Overall I am very happy with the construction of my nexus10.
like this?

I got my N10 yesterday and I found two problems.
1. The back is really loos. If I press in the middle of the back cover it wobbles and make click sound.
2. There is some light bleeding at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Are these things normal? Or should I exchange it.

The back is fine. As far as light bleed, it's a common problem. How bad it is depends on how much it bothers you.

I got exchange.
i get some slight play in the back but compared to the note 10.1, this thing is build like a rock
I received my Nexus 10 at the end of January and have just ordered a replacement...
The creaking and cracking from both sides of the back (directly behind the speakers) is horrendous when I gently squeeze the nexus, for example to lift it - I can usually just ignore these little things, but this is just too bad!
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I love it...the build quality is superb and the fact the Nexus 10 isn't up to the same standard is disappointing.
I will upload a YouTube video to demonstrate it...as I've not seen or heard anyone having creaking this bad...
When I receive my replacement, I'll update this topic. The only saving grace was the Google RMA process was flawless IMO.
CASES
I used to get it too but i figured out a way to fix it. Wanna know how? lol Get a nice smart case by Poetic or another brand you prefer. I know theres a thread designated for all the accessories for nexus 10.

So this gap issue?

Hi All,
Got mine today after a long battle with the M8 and its many problems. . .
I have noticed mine has a gap in the top right like many others have but has anyone been in for a waterproof test yet?
In all honestly i'm just curious to know rather then it being a problem for me as I dont have the desire to be dipping into water or swim with it.
It doesnt bother me although I know its not nice having it there but again it doesnt look as bad as the way the original HTC One had gaps open round the metal.
So yep anyone concerned or even taken it to a Sony centre?
Cheers
Mine doesn't have any gap. Well not that I can see. I will not risking trying to dip in in water. Even though it is supposed to be waterproof I am not sure they will cover it.

yeah i dont have the desire as I say to be dipping into water . .its seems more ppl have the gap then others . ..
coming from the M8 with multiple scuffs and marks on the metal out the box its really pleasing that its just a gap i have as it doesnt look bad but still the waterproof protection and dust may still be affected by this.
plus I plan to put a case on mine in the end so the gap will be covered up anyway . .I know I shudnt ave to cover it but Im never gonna be carrying a glass phone naked!
Where did you order yours? Maybe you can get it exchanged and hope to get one of the newer batches?
It was phone's 4 u in UK so not the best place to get phone's in my experience so far.. I have been advised to go into store so staff can have a look...

Has it ever been proven that the 'gap' is actually a problem? People seem to get them replaced without ever testing, could be all for nothing?

I believe due to the scarcity of Sony stores in certain areas that people just decide to not bother testing and just sent it back.
Don't know if this is related but anyone who has the gap issue, is the camera lens slightly off centre too? Mine is (although it doesn't affect the camera quality).
I'm not sure what I should do because I've only recently realised I have the very minute gap at the top right but I got my phone on the 22nd of April through mobiles.co.uk so I wonder if I can simply go to a carphone warehouse shop to discuss it or if I have to do it through mobile.co.uk.

But i don't think this small gap become cause of water damage!
i mean this gap is in surface of phone and it s not like hole that connect outside to inside of phone!
so it s just ugly...
:good:
I have the gap issue, there is a slight gap on the front top right & a more noticeable one on the front bottom left, I didn't spot it at first but a mate that was admiring the phone did as he spotted a small bit of tobacco trapped between the gap & the bezel.

Alright, I thought **** it, put my phone under water with the small gap, everything was fine no problems.
As i mentioned i did ask if ppl had taken to sony fot testing .. It bothers me as some ppl say they dont have gaps and its more noticeable because of the left side bring flush with the galss

Yeah I know what you mean, I want to go to a Sony Centre but nearest one to me is Leeds and I don't like going into Leeds at the best of times but I will go not next week but the week after and have a chat with them.
Im going back back into shop tomorrow to check their other Z2 stock and see how they r.. If theres no gaps then its getting exchange... Thought i cud live with it but it makes the screen at top look angled as left top side is fine and right side drops down

Seems fine the camera just gap.. If other side had a gap i honestly think id be ok bout it as they wud match.. But at minute it looks silly

Hi!
I bought a z2 from mediamarkt. but im in Portugal now. so i asked to a cousin to send me photos to see if there is the gap issue with my unit. can you compare with a good device to see if i need to change mine?
regards.

Warped it

Well, I returned my second one the other day. I guess the structural integrity of the device can't withstand the removal and installation of cases.
First I noticed that something looked a bit crooked around the volume rocker. After looking further I noticed that it was tweaked sideways. Like if you're looking at it the screen, take the top half and twist left and bottom half twist right.
I haven't seen this issue before, but make sure to not remove cases once you put them on.
I'm back to my nexus 6 and ordered a one plus x just because. I'll wait for the next google variant.

This device has a very weak design for sure. It is a pity, because it looks good with good screen, performance, and battery life.

that's why i am moving away from the nexus line - build quality of nexus 6p is better than nexus 5, but still too weak. it is a pity for sure.
the constant google design changes which don't seem to have a purpose (for ex hangouts) and the little annoying bugs are making me move too. the bugs are worst than iPhone bugs i mean i remember for a few months last year my nexus was unusable due to battery drainage.
I do have to say I am somewhat pleased with marshmallow's lack of critical bugs, although, the weak physical build and somewhat low built quality of these phones makes me get want to move away from google - with two alternatives Samsung and Apple - And Apple wins because Samsung touchqiz is just disgusting.
Maybe it is the way you remove the case. I have used four different cases. I have in general, removed the case once a day, and my 6p is OK.
There is a general thread called bent after two days. You should post in there, so we know how many it happened to.

Exactly i have had mine from day one and had no issues of cracking glass or bending the chassis and i swap sims pretty often which entails removing the case.

I had two tight fitting cases, the Verus and a kugi case

The only way to remove those is to pull at the corners, which should be fine. But I think because the device is so tall, and narrow, mixed with the fact the structure is weak, bad things will happen.
I really hope next year LG comes back for the main, or bigger of the possible two devices. Even moto is better than this current crap.

I've removed a couple cases, one of which fit very snuggly. No issues here. A buddy had the camera lens crack on his though. I think it's like any other phone. Some lemons make it through QC.

I think it was more due to the Kugi snap case. It was really low profile and essentially had to pry it off. In doing so, you really had to grab on the bastard and yank it off.

Z Camera

I loved, and still live my MXPE camera. This one seems a little lackluster comparatively. Any found a setting that needs tweaked? It seems very software related.
I haven't had any issues, I miss the old layout but I changed the option from shutter button to tap anywhere and it feels better.
Aside from redoing a point and click to help adjust light, no, haven't discovered any big tricks yet. Pro mode doesn't add all that much. Related to camera, anyone get scratching on cams lens? I had it for two days and kept in soft sunglasses case, and already it's covered in microscratches, my note 4 has been abused for a while now and has zero, little disconcerting

Mid-light seems to cause real dramas for the Moto Z camera. Bright or low light no problems but there's some terrible shutter lag in mid-light. It can be easily overcome by going into Pro mode and increasing the shutter speed (at the expensive of added noise) but it's a shame it's not been turned to this setting out of the box.

The same story here, after 2 days of careful usage, I noticed two scratches on the camera glass that's supposed to be made of gorilla glass 4, the best way I found to deal with it is to put a dbrand skin on it, costs just 99 cents, it just arrived today. Another thing about the camera, is it just me, or it seems slow to react to movement, like when in the camera app you move the phone and the image on the screen moves real slow a second later, like back in the day on cheap Chinese no brand phones:laugh:, doesn't happen all the time though, hard to say what the reason for this behavior might be.

That "slow to react" thing is the image stabilization catching up, can be worse sometimes than others. And I would get a protector for my lens if it didn't create a whole other layer of light refracting scratches. This lens is like putting little tike wheels on a sports car, totally embarassing in design and kinda unacceptable
