[Q] SG Note Housing/Body/Mask

First of all hi to everybody.
Been on this forum for months now reading about this great phone samsung galaxy note.
But now i have a issue that i would like to discuss with you because some of you already have or will have this problem with the phone.
So the problem is after 2 months that i had my Note i noticed a slight crack around the display of the phone and today i noticed another one.
I called a official samsung service in my country and asked them how much will it cost to exchange that piece of plastic. And he told me that i have to exchange the whole display and housing! Which is around 200€!
So attached some pictures below.
My question is did somebody tried to change the housing on the Note and is it true that i have to exchange the display also?
Because i found a new housing for the note for only 30$ on ebay and was wondering is it hard to replace it on my own.
My phone did not drop or fell from anywhere since i had it. Only thing is that i wear it in a jacket pocket everyday because it is my business phone.
Appreciate your time.

Watch video's in YouTube om how to relaxen that (Samsung galaxy note dissasembly if I'm right)

I am one with exactly same problem, yesterday only I have noticed similar crack at corner of housing, I guess sammy used really cheap plastic got this crack within 2 months from purchase.
update:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ho...ain_0&var=&hash=item2a1a72435d#ht_4864wt_1037
this should solve the issue..

Yeah it should but then again....it sucks. So pricey phone and then they use so cheap plastic. Firstly i was dissapointed with the battery cover. I loled when i first removed it.
And now this thin frame cracking.
If u decide to change the housing maybe u can make a tutorial for others to see. Including me.
I would not think twice if i was sure i can take it apart and then put it together back again.

Screen "raise" over the body

Good fay everyone!
I use my One over 2 month.
Withing 2 month phone did not fall. Uses in case.
And some time ago I noticed that Screen "raise" over the body in top left corner.
When I buy phone, the screen was in the same level with the body.
When I push in screen in left top corner, screen is put in place.
Is there warranty case?

Any suggestions?

It was probably always like that and you didn't notice. After 2 months you could pay to get it replaced.
I would recommend saving that money though and go purchase English lessons. Thanks.

You can always try to get a replacement from the place you got it, can't hurt to check it, right?
This might help you: http://dl4.htc.com/Web_materials/Manual/Warranty/Android/0525_C_WarrantyEULA_76x126_E-EU.pdf
Seems like you need some proof of purchase, but I haven't read through the whole thing

Hi alex6600,
I had exactly the same problem as you describe so all I done was the contact Vodafone ( supplier and carrier) who sent me a postage repair pack. I used this pack to send my HTC one to the repair centre and within a week I was sent a new phone and the note included stated it would cost to much and take to long to fix my old phone.
Cheers

I had this problem . I sent it in and it came back below the body instead, and the frame was slightly bent around the sim tray . Waiting for replacement as it has camera issues also .

Cracks in Note 4 Frame

Hi,
I was just inserting a sd card when I discovered some cracks at the bottom of the frame.
Does everybody has this?
See pics:

Also could anybody tell me it is normal that the tooth in the backcover in the red circle is missing, compared to the thoots in the green circles?
Thnx

Doesn't seem like cracks. Looks like fusing of plastic and aluminum was not perfect, but nothing to worry about.

Just checked mine. It looks almost exactly like yours

For the cracks at the bottom, mine as same as yours and it looks like the draw lines.
HOWEVER, for yours second picture about the tooth (red circle). Yes you are missing 3 right there

mine is also like yours and the others, i think i normal because everybody have it

Well.. called my Local Phone shop and will receive a new back cover. But the cracks.. it should not crack and I think it is a HUGE design flaw.. even more so when more note 4's have the same cracks. A 780+ euro should not crack! Dont get me wrong.. I love the note 4.. And maby there is a little samsung fan boy with in me, but this, I just can not accept this.

I wouldn't call that a crack, it's at the point where metal frame is molded onto plastic chassis, I'd say it's expected to split due to the heat and etc.

Everyone has that on the bottom I think it's normal

Again, you do know that, that plastic and the metal frame are one piece? They don't come apart. In the process of fusing plastic to the aluminum, there are some tolerances, especially considering that it is under the cover.
When you say crack, one assumes, it developed after the purchase. I would probably assume you bought it like that.
And no, all back covers are supposed to be like that.
Just return your phone please. Thanks.

So what? You probably broke it by removing it and putting it back on again. Just buy another back cover, they're cheap.

The back cover wasnt the problem.. was just checkin.. and i didnt broke.. sure about that.. the tooth did not break off.. its a molding issue.. but again.. that is solved and wasnt that big off an issue.. The cracks in t phone it self was the issue. But thnx

I understand what you say but everybody has it so I think it's normal

Think the cracks are there on purpose. I think I read somewhere that its for the antenna.

Dude. You're just bumping thread to try to stay relevant. It is normal, it is hidden under cover, and has no bearing on the look and function of the phone. Does not get worse. Give it a rest. Replace your freakin phone already. Sell it. Throw it in a garbage.
Btw if you started disassembling body of most of the products, I bet you'll find imperfections that are not detrimental and are generally not visible until disassembled.

Okay, seriously? This is like being upset that the undercarriage of your car is not painted to match the exterior. Get a ****ing grip!

How durable is this phone?

I'm not normally one for phone cases. I think they ruin the look and feel which are major selling points of flagship phones, especially the sleek and glossy P20 Pro. But this phone feels really delicate. It's like holding a slab of glass. And we don't even know for sure yet what kind of glass (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/phone-gorilla-glass-protrction-yes-t3771328).
So my question is has anyone damaged their P20 pro yet? Anyone dropped it? Scuffed the body? Scratched the screen or back? I'm trying to get an idea of how vulnerable it is.

Tragic that I'm the first to reply to my own thread but I have actually cracked my screen! Not very badly. Just a hairline crack that sort of cuts off the top left corner about 1cm in. No not sure how it happened. I haven't dropped it. I may have put it down on the table slightly too hard, but nothing major. I'm a bit disappointed in its durability. I'm sure my old OnePlus 3t survived similar treatment many many times. Guess I'm going to have to use a case or be extra careful. I wouldn't fancy it's chances if I dropped it though!

Could it be that you cracked just factory installed protective plastic screen that exist over real glass screen?

No sadly not. The screen is definitely cracked.

It's gorilla glass 5.
Also, I have dropped mine from above my head while taking a photo at a gig and the phone bounced along the floor but suffered no damage, not even a scratch.

Mine fell off the side I was sitting at the other day on to a solid flooring, no marks at all. Sorry to hear of the damage OP any chance you've got phone insurance? I'm really fussy when it comes to scratches/marks I try get them fixed or get a new phone!

Under "Services", on the top of the page, There is a picture with P20pro and text that says "Premium Service" etc. And link for warranty request. But, it could be that this is not avaliable on all markets?

I don't have this premium insurance option in the UK. The P20 doesn't even come up as one of the phones you can insure through Huawei.

I''m from Italy and I've bought a 2 year complete insurance from my dealer for € 100.
It can be damaged from everything and they will replace entirely the phone: I guess there could be an option like this in UK.

I'm with O2 in the UK, and I have insured my phone against pretty much everything so it is definitely possible to insure it. The phone should also come with a warranty, if you can prove the screen is defective and wasn't up to the specified standard then you would be able to put in a request for a replacement.

I've got this additional 3 months unconditional screen replacement for free here in Croatia. And regular insurance is 24 months. I've got the same, plus 6 months extended warranty for free for my previous P10. Don't know why Huawei has such politics here

I'm curious about whether the phone was defective because I didn't really do anything that would damage it. Could have scratched it (can a scratch turn into a crack?). Seems very unlikely that I cracked it without noticing. But no idea how is go about proving that the phone was defective.
