Got my camera Christmas and purchased a $20 black camera bag. After a few days camera had black smudges.
Tried to wipe off but was not successful. Has anyone else experience the same and were they successful in cleaning?
I did contact at&t store but have not heard back from manager.
Update: Finally heard back from AT&T, they gave me a new replacement part (free). After removing five screws part was replaced. Now i will have to baby camera or somehow get all dark covers from T-Mobile (fat chance).
I have this on rubber handle, it looks like it is amortized and colored very quickly. White color was not good idea to buy due to low quality of that rubber.

So here's the deal. My screen bezel began to loosen a bit, so I restored the phone and took it into the sprint store to get it replaced through insurance. They proceeded to tell me that having the screen bezel clips break was a "cosmetic problem" and that would not be covered by insurance. If you don't know what I am talking about, there is a gap between the chrome bar and the gray plastic on the side of the phone. It is big enough to see the backlight from the screen, and I repeat "cosmetic". The tech decided it would be a good idea to just crank the torx screws as tight as can be, yet that didn't solve the issue. Anyone have any ideas on how I can actually get a replacement phone? The guy made a note on the account that I was having that problem so that he could notify me of another returned hero with a decent top, so I don't think going to another store will work.
Any common problems? Can overclock till meltdown?
Hey all, I dropped my black one against some metal and the back got scratched to the point where you can see the aluminum underneath. Anybody have any experience with this and how to possibly hide it so it's not as obvious? I was thinking a black marker might cover it up but I don't want to get the wrong tint of black and make it look even worse.

I've seen recommendations for black markers. I'm surprised you can actually see the silver aluminum. Thought they had some kind of multi layer black thing going on. Hmm.
Do try the black marker on a VERY small area. wait for it to dry and see whether it works well.
Otherwise if you're still within 30 days of ur phone's purchase. Find even the most minor of defects and bring it in to a store. Maybe they'll accept an exchange.. :S That's all I can recommend :'(
Wait to get other replies first though! Maybe someone else has better experiences (I'm here with a silver One)
I have the black One and tried using a black permanent marker to cover a mark at the top edge. I did not really care about colour differences since my scratched is very small, but my makeup did stay even I waited until it was dried to handle the phone.
I have heard people saying a marker bought from halfords, that's a car shop by the way if you are not in UK. The pen is used to hide car imperfection and can stand rain, dust, and etc, so it must be much tougher to remove.
If you are not sure about colour, yes, I would suggest try a small area first, but if you do have a long scratch it would be difficult to find the perfect colour.
Keep up updated if you find a good pen, so I will stock one as well.

Sounds painful
Finally worked up the courage to buy some paint and go ahead with the paint job. Thought I'd give you guys an update. I bought some Tamiya XF-1 paint, it's supposed to be matte black ink for plastic models. So after the drop my phone looked like this.

I used a toothpick to pick up a drop of the paint and blob it on each scratch. Then I used a moist kitchen toilet to scrub away the paint that didn't get into the scratches. End result is this.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the result. You can still see the silver surface pop up at some angles and I'll probably do another few passes of the paint and scrubbing to try and get it perfect.
HI.
I've unfortunately caught my XT890's screen with what was probably a set a of keys and have pushed the frame away from the glass at the Sim and SD card slot so that there is approx. a 4 mm gap between the glass and the frame ( the sealant is visible).
The phone's screen continued to work perfectly for about a day until I pushed the frame back into place and appear to have done some damage as the screen slowly stopped working - I had a section of black that appeared at the top of the screen and slowly crept down the screen, which went purple first then black , creeping down the sides of the screen first, then filling in the middle until the full screen is black. I think I've also lost the digitizer input, as I can no longer turn the 6am alarm off on it.. and I can't take out the battery either :S
I've "rebend" the frame to the original damage, but this has had no impact in reverting the screen to "usable".
The glass looks complete - no cracks or anything, so I'm really not sure if replacing the glass screen and digitizer pre-build as a "frame" will fix the problem, or not. At ~£30 for the part on a phone worth ~£70, I'd like to understand if its' worth the risk or just to buy a replacement outright.
Has anyone had similar experience with this?
lol, never seen that before. Looks like the liquid inside the screen slowly dropped out and damaged some internal parts. This will certainly needs replacements. But unless u can do it your self i would consider buying a new one.
How did u bend your phone sides on the first place? (i never tried it, but it seems very sturdy)
I have absolutely no idea how I managed this - I was up a ladder at the time and must of inadvertently put a leatherman or keys in the same pocket as the phone and then "trapped" it so that it pushed sideways on exactly the weak spot of the simcard slot. I'll upload a picture of the damage for prosperity.
I didn't think AMOLED had liquid in them, but that would correlate with the affect I had - it must of been a tiny, tiny hole :S.
Such as shame after 2 years of perfect operation - and I had hoped for another year instead of procuring a new phone as it did the job so well.
Yep, I'm happy to replace it myself, I've done 4 or 5 screens on a Defy before, and this looks simpler.
PS - it looked very similar to the pictures in this, so that's positive in some ways!

I cracked my screen and bought a new with digitizer. was very easy to replace just follow the youtube video about disassemble razr i.
You will also need some glue though for the stupidly placed motorola logo..
i bought mine from ebay for less than 20 euro. but it has some wierd greenish color in the top where the statusbar is. its not visible when holding the phone vertical. but when holding horizontel its alittle noticeable. not a problem at all but just be carefull going for the cheap ones.
Hey guys so today i initially got a white note 4, but after owning it for 30 mins i noticed that there was a huge gap that stuck out like a sore thumb. I took it back to the original AT&T store where i got it where they acknowledged there was a gap but couldn't help me because "their whole batch had gaps." Long story short i went to a second store where they opened 3 other units (all white) and they all had gaps in different areas, but not as noticeable as mine. I finally went to a THIRD store where they had a black one and exchanged it.
So my question to you guys with the white Note 4's do you have gaps?
I have a white one with no gaps whatsoever. My wife has the.black one. The only real difference i notice between the white and black is the sliipery feel of the the back on the white vs the black.
The back of the white one feels like such crap. The back of the black one is a little better but it isn't as grippy as the note 3.
It's just 'luck of the draw' I think. I have a black note 4 with no visible gaps
Got Black, no gaps

The "soft touch" coating on the black Note 4 is sprayed on and easy to scratch and mar. That's one of the reasons I got white. It's not expensive to replace a scratched back cover but it's nice not to have to.
I am swapping my white for black

Eye41 do not care about the back cover of either phone, as I will definitely be getting the wireless charging S view case when I get my device
hello folks
basically, today i woke up and plastic white lines that run across the back of the phone turned to pink(ish). i am pretty sure those lines were white yesterday. no chemical contact or any other paint splash or some like that happened. (phone works perfectly fine so i can assume no liquid damege i guess) any ideas? i upload two photos to comparison.
Did you wear red pants or put the phone into a red pocket? Maybe felt, new or natural fabrics?
nope. even if i did i use my phone with protective clear case. i'll add better pics tomorrow but it looks like red color is inside. antenna lines are a bit transparent so the color reflects outside.
