is the xperia z really this easy to bend?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNF14T5o-8E
That's because of the type of glass used for the case.
It needs to be flexible so it doesn't shatter easily.
I think it's actually pretty cool.

as long as it doesn't stay bent like the iphone 5, i guess it is pretty good.
WOw! That's pretty cool but scary. hahaha. It's scary thinking that it would break
impressive
I call optical illusion lol glass doesnt bend like that.
If it is infact legit, then I want this phone even more.

But what of the reports of GG backing?

I don't know maybe someone with a XZ can test it
what a bend!
but will it affect the chips inside the phone or weaken the phone structure?
seems like just a little force is needed to bend it, most people put their phone in the pant's pocket, its gonna bend easily whenever we move since the phone is quite huge
Hmm if it is really that flexible, than you are pretty safe when you drop the phone, it wil just spread the shock over the whole chasis.

Shock test by Sony rep who claims it uses Dragontrail Glass.
EDIT: Not worth watching actually, it's a pretty lame 'shock test'. Highlight being the rep saying that the screen will "remain calm" when banged about.

I was just about to post this, to me it looks like an optical illusion, too.
i have my xperia Z here and it really bends similar to the video. But i don't see it as a negative point, because it is really shatterproof because of that.

If you do, then you would be having a Samung galaxy "arc" i guess !!
i think this might be a good point cause imagine putting a phone this big on your back pocket and you sit on it..its gona help if its going to bend a little..

Is already posted on few posts up, but still cool
The bottom of the screen where it meets the speaker's aluminium panel is flush with the aluminium.
The top is not.
It's barely noticeable unless you rub your fingers over the top of the glass.
.1 of a mm or so but it's not flush like the bottom is.
How 'bout your phone?

No, he isn't.
Mine has it too - glass is raised at the top so it's not flush where the top speaker grill meets the screen on mine. Went to a couple stores and the ones I saw had this too - sometimes in the same place, sometimes not.
Perhaps it's a manufacturing limitation

i think its the overhang thing
do u mean , the glass is higher than the speaker grille?
Is it the screen that is not flush, or is it that the speaker grille is fitted too low at the top? Which is to say, is the screen flush all the way along the sides of the device?
edit: shiningarmor beat me to it
The overhang on the unibody is a problem I think some people are having but not with mine. I think that's a separate issue but don't quote me on that..
If The Op has what I have then basically the issue is if you feel along the line where the speaker plates (either the top one, the bottom one, or both if you're REALLY unlucky) meet the glass you cann feel the glass is raised (on mine it's the top right corner) to the extent that you can basically feel the edge of the glass. I've seen this on some store models - sometimes it's like this and sometimes it's the exact opposite - I.e. the glass feels like its set too low and the speaker grill can be felt when you slide your finger from screen to grill.
So yeh basically issues with how flush the glass and metal are when they meet. This seems to only (from what I've seen) occur at the speaker grills, all seems fine on the sides of the phone

I have 2 theories:
1)Maybe because of the pyramid stacking of screen-battery-pcb?
Do you have a problem if you dismantle your device?
Aha, someone already did it:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1
2)Or could it be that the top speaker grill is not flush with the glass?
What do you guys think?

Then the screen isn't misaligned - the speaker grille is, surely? And, if so, it IS the same problem as the overhang thing, just on a different axis. And likely, this is the same cause of the "tiny gap" - misaligned/poorly fitted speaker-grille.
Of course, it doesn't matter to you because you have a flawed device, but for the rest of us, it is interesting to note that all reported build issues could be traced back to that single point of error.

Yeah you might be right I guess, with the overhang thing though I think some people were describing a phenomena on the side of the handset concerning the bits of plastic - maybe I'm just confused lol!
I'm sending my phone back anyway because I have a screwed up vibrate motor but I'm also for obvious reasons happy at maybe getting another 'shot' at a handset that has a better placed speaker plate/flusher phone.
None of this has dented my enthusiasm though for the One. Wonderful handset.

Your choice. The screen is 0.1mm higher than the grille. The grille is 0.1mm lower than the screen.

I got same on my handset. No gaps or anything else wrong with it.
In order to make sure I get a problem free handset I would need to wait until next month for new batch but phones4u only give me 28 days to swap in store.

I've also got this fault. Doesn't bother me as long as the exposed corners don't shard.
This is with the HT33J batch. Would be interested to see a poll of owners that do/don't have this issue with the batch #.t

Once you see it
The same here top and bottom but other wise perfect - probably gonna keep the phone as not to bothered.
I personally think that this is caused by speaker covers not being placed properly

Wooowww people are ocd to the extreme on these forums. I have this ''issue'' as well. Not using it now, a deal breaker for me -__-

My screen sits lower than the speakers, then once screen protector is on it's all flush. Maybe it's for that reason.

Do you think the speaker grill will pop off in the future? I just realized mine has quite a gap, you can slide a paper in.
But I don't want to resort to warranty since I have already been using it for a month plus, and got stuff working and all.
The grill I have in question is the bottom one.
I don't know how strong the glue supporting the bottom grill is.
if it comes off, stick it back on with superglue

the method of heating the grill and clamping it down (was a thread about it somewhere) is probably an option to try. i might try it on mine too since the gaps are getting big..

Dang.. That sounds kind of too much for me. I guess I just gotta put my faith on HTC's glueing process or hopefully it pops off at least before my warranty.
yea..just use superglue..
i use those very liquid glue to stick it back..now its gapless...just apply very very little and its enough..
just wanna avoid the liquid from dripping to the speaker girll..^^

Wow how did you managed to get the glue inside the gap? I mean I know it's quite a gap, but I don't think it's THAT wide to be able to squueze glue in..
Are the gaps really that much of a concern? I have a bit of a gap on the top speaker grill, but I have a case on the phone too. I don't even notice it now. I'm more concerned about the durability of "Gorilla Glass." I've had 3 iPhones now and I've never scratched my screen. I've owned the HTC One for a month and I've got two scratches already...

thats why u have to use liquid glue..just apply a little the on gap and quickly press the grill to close the gap
and of course quickly wipe off the glue that you pressed out..

For me it's more of a durability thing. I'm just afraid it will pop out from the glue losing it's strength in the future.

Well, if you're gonna use instant glue, you're prolly gonna end up sticking your fingers to the thing... so.
It might work if you have someone else hold it upside down and you're REAL careful.

Mine definitely isn't loose at all. There's no wiggle room in any direction. Tapping lightly doesn't nothing, but pressing firmly gives a nice solid click, just as you would expect.
I'd exchange it through TMO before your window closes. That is, if it bothers you (and it would bother me).

Ok cool, thank you for the info. I might give them a ring then, it does bother me a bit!
I have the same thing.. mine is firm but if you lightly tap it without pressing it all the way down it wobbles a bit.. I thought it was mine but I ordered another one and it had the same thing. I went in at the Tmo store and the one on display does it as well..

they're all like this. have yet to come into contact with one where there isn't at least a slight bit of movement vertically. i believe this was intended and how it was designed.
@whittikins might want to try putting on glasses and check again. it's an extremely tiny bit of movement, very hard to see unless you're really looking for it.

OP didn't have to look for his. He said that tapping it lightly makes it move and is loose. Mine doesn't and is not loose at all. The only movement I can get is by pressing just enough to not click it and putting pressure up/down (toward the top/bottom of the screen). I can detect a slight movement, but it's silent and not at all like OP describes. Pushing against the edge of the button with my fingernail in any direction doesn't result in any movement. I have to be pressing down and purposely pushing it sideways to see anything.

My home button is firm but it does wiggle a bit.
But whats bothering the most is the battery life!
I also have a black one and just picked it up Sunday here is Australia. I have taken it back and had it replaced as the Mobile provider agreed that it was a fault. The new one now also has the same issue.
I have also found a video on youtube that shows the noise that it makes as it is so loose. www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=Y5FoWeDGQZ4 (not able to post link as I am new)
Contacting Samsung customer support was not much use but they said that it can be sent in to look at but will be charged if no fault it found. I believe it to be Faulty.
this is a massive hassle to be without a phone for who knows how long... not impressed.

Same issue here. The left side of the home button rattles a little bit when i press lightly on it. Should i exchange or is it normal?
I got the 32GB S6 in Black.
My Button wiggles too when i slightly move it up and down,not much but it bother me a lil bit.
Problem is: i rooted my phone and after that the problem occured...
I dont know if they would see the Knox Trigger,cuz its a Materialfault and im in the first 14 Days(Got it 2 Days now).
Maybe i will live with it.I didnt pay for it.

Both my wife and myself got the blueish black ones. Hers is rock solid, no movement. Mine has a slight wiggle if I apply a little pressure. Haven't decided if I want to go in and have them open up boxes until they find a solid one. It's really not a issue so what do you guys think? Worth my time to go in or just deal with it?

Its not. I have an edge with a perfectly firm button.
Anyone else have a small but pretty noticeable line of dust collecting between the front glass and top edge of the phone?
Just appears as a white line that's visable from almost all angles, not sure if it's a fault, unusual amount of pocket lint or something else.
No pics as of yet, I'll take some later when home with the missus phone.
Thanks.
Same have some on the side between glass and frame.
I thought that these things were supposed to be dustproof and waterproof.
You can wash it off. Not a big deal any more.
