Hardware faults - LG Optimus 4X HD

Found some service bulletin, seems our phone is not so solid.

what is this ?

I dont think these are hardware faults because a fault would imply that something happens which is not intended to be the case. These seem like hardware design flaws. All phones have these sort of issues.

[Q] LG P990 All in One Hardware Checker

Hi,
as my O2X is approaching about a year and a half, it looks quite tattered on the outside. So Im just curious and would like to ask if there is any tool that can check if my O2X internal hardware components are working fine?
There is no such tool at useeend. Do you face any issue?

If it bothers you return it....I don't have that issue but my screen has a spot on the glass where the coating seems to be worn off. Only visible when in bright light. If you can live with it keep, it if not return it.

Yeah, I have that problem, and I've seen a few others with that problem as well. Doesn't effect it at all IMO, but it does bring down that "quality feel" a bit. Especially when you "tap" in the center of the screen where it is "bowed", feels/sounds a bit hollow. I think there are some things you can do to fix it. One of such fixes that I had read included the use of super glue. Seems a bit much, I'd suggest using that warranty or hit up ASUS for a replacement. Maybe send it in so they can fix it professionally. I mean, if THEY can't fix it correctly, then it needs to be replaced. I'm waiting until the last week of my warranty, then trading it for a new one. Hopefully it won't be a refurb
I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say.

New HTC Ones

Does anyone know when HTC will ship new batches of the One? The defects (gap and raised screen) will probably be fixed by the time the 2-3 batches are released so does anyone know when they will be shipped? I upgrade in July and am hoping all these problems are gone by then

I didn't want to take the risk of getting the new Microphone set up they have to do because of the lawsuit with Nokia and the company that makes the mics for the one..
But there was word about ramping up production double in May

What defects? Sorry im a bit confused about this thread. I sell these phone and work with them daily and I really havent noticed any kind of physical defect. I'm actually pretty impressed with this device and it's design.

Sometimes they have gaps between the plastic and the aluminum, is it a huge deal? No. My girlfriend's one has a small gap but she doesn't care because she has a case on it anyway.

Yeah sometimes its not a huge deal but a lot of people have been reporting pretty big gaps and the screen not being placed in the right spot. And some are reporting dead pixels

So you never had the One? And you're gonna wait on a "better" batch? I've had two and never had any issues. My first one was stolen.

This makes me so angry, I'm going to catch the next flight out of Australia and march down to Google's offices with a pitchfork in one hand an a torch in the other!
something like this doesn't piss me off. now if they made the new batch of n5 with a bigger battery, that would
Eh. I'd be pissed if they never made any revisions.
Do the new buttons protrude less?
I wonder if I should send mine in. I have legit rma issues but I'm waiting it out for a good hardware revision.

Somehow managed to get a speck of dust under my screen. Not sure if its been there since I got the phone or what. Its very tiny, but every time I see it, its annoying. Would that constitute an RMA? I don't really care about the revision changes, but just curious for in the future.

Let the RMA game begin! People will find any minor issue to return their N5 in hope of getting this new version.

Disgusted with Google customer service

So I know this has been discussed many times already but i am appalled at Google's customer "service". My nexus 5 has the rattle issue pretty bad and also the sim tray protrudes. I contacted Google regarding the issue and they responded by saying this is normal and we wont replace???? Anyone else had this problem?

I think they've been told not to RMA the phones now for what is widely considered to be 'manufacturing differences'. Could be wrong, though
Just say it overheats and you're scared that it might hurt you.
Give it a bit before you do though because all chat logs are saved and they will know you're lying..

I had a fantastic customer service experience when I RMA'd my phone. My micro USB chord would not stay in the phone and came out very easily. The service agent was courteous, professional and pleasant.
I think they've had too many people using the "button rattle" to just get a newer phone. Can't say as I blame them.
So you tried to report two non issues as a reasons to get an RMA and you were denied?
Glad to see Google reps doing their job properly.

What do you mean that the sim tray protrudes? That it doesn't close fully and sticks out more than the power button? Or it sticks out less than that?
I'm glad they aren't RMA'ing for rattles. You will be hard pressed to find a smart phone that doesn't rattle. I think after the Nexus 4 debacle with so many people returning them, they changed their stance to stop a lot of frivolous returns. So many people try to abuse the system (and even a poster in this thread encouraged lying) that it makes it hard for people who might have legitimate problems.
Good.
Put your phone in a case. Both issues solved

My buttons rattle.
Why would I RMA it?
So you're disgusted with google for not giving you a new phone when there's nothing wrong with your current phone? Is that what we're supposed to understand here?
K.
Stand by for threads complaining about google not doing rmas to get a red Nexus 5.

I just bought this phone but the Nexus logo on the back goes in a bit when I apply pressure. Is that normal?

Yup. Mine does that, but only when I actually press on it. If you really don't like it, just take the back off and put some thin foam or something under the back.

Thanks. I noticed the problem yesterday and it worried me a bit. I won't look too much into it. :good:
Mine rattled it bugged me so I opened the phone and fixed it. No issues since.

I had this issue on my first device. It was out a bit, but no way near the power button. It wasn't flush thou. But I didn't RMA for this. I RMA for faulty LCD. Orange spot appeared on my screen.
