[Q] Moto X wrap around glass overhang - Moto X Q&A

Does anyone who have a Moto X notice that the front glass that wraps around is a little (taller?/bigger?) that the back which causes it be just a mm taller. When I move my finger from the back to the front of the phone over the top, lefthand side or righthand side I can feel a little edge that seems like I'm scraping my finger on the wraparound glass.
Is anyone else experiencing this or this only mine?
EDIT: If anyone runs into this issue if you hold the phone in landscape mode face down, then hold the front while pushing with the back in the opposite direction with a decent amount of force it snaps into place and actually fixes it. YMMV

The part that wraps around is plastic so yes I can feel where the glass stops and the plastic starts

convex rear screen or only wrong sensation?

Hi guys,
I noticed a small problem in my xperia z. As you know, the edges fiberglass chassis protrude slightly with respect to the panels of front and back glass. in my case I noticed that where there is the door to the sim, the board seems a little less prominent, as if the rear glass was a little more prominent. your are so well? is a problem caused by overheating of the processor? is something almost imperceptible so even taking pictures you could not see
anyone can say if you have the same situation? is it normal?
it does seem a little convex here now that you've mentioned it . Only a little
Yes Only a little...but now i think the Glass rests the surfaces in that point :/
Anyother?

The glass is flexible, maybe it's that . Anyway, what problem does that cause to you?

i think that now the glass touch the surface where i put the phone.
Android i suppose that the Phone Could have an internal problem. Possible?
Just had a really good look at mine and it looks perfectly flat so wouldn't say a curve in the back was normal.

It's very very Little...like 0.1 mm. Can this compromise water proof?
I see what you mean now, if I run my finger nail across the back towards the opposite side (with USB and microSD) my nail catches on the rubber edge protruding slightly, however, on the side with the SIM slot, the glass protrudes slightly further than the rubber edge, and so my nail slips off the edge of the phone.
The problem you'll see, because of this, is that when your phone lies flat on the desk, it should be resting on the rubber edge and not touching the glass, but on the SIM side, the glass touches the desk.
It might scratch the glass/screen protector but it shouldn't be a problem otherwise.
yes it's the same thing for me!!!...so i think that the only problem is the scratch of screen protector.
I restored the original form with a vise and a phone...but when i play a game and the phone became hot the problem return...so i think that is a stock
behavior of xperia z. the convex is imperceptible but the rear glass touch the surface and i can see some scratches on the sony stock film.I would not want that water came from this small curvature!

[Q] hairline gap in bezel, is this normal?

So I just received my Bamboo wood back Moto X yesterday. It has a small gap on one side of the bezel where the front and back halves meet, I've attached two pictures: one in which I'm squeezing the phone such that the gap closes, in the other it is left "open". The other side of the phone with the power/volume buttons doesn't have this problem.
Is this bezel gap pretty much par for the course in the wood backed phones? Any thoughts on is it worth returning the unit for another that hopefully doesn't have this problem, or should I just try to keep my OCD at bay?

Split between screen and bezel

Anyone else getting dust in between where the screen meets the bezel?
Just a small amount but doesn't bother me. I can clean them out using a compressed air can.
Yeah frequently. There's a small shiny piece of plastic there and the gap is large enough to get dust. Also getting dust and pocket lint around the speakers.

Mine seems to have small chipping where the metal meets the screen. At both the top and bottom of the device.
omggggness yess. my split is at the top right corner and the black dirt and dust is noticeable and my ocd kills me

[Q] Glass to Plastic spacing

How is the glass fit for everyone elses z3c? There is a decent size gap between the glass and plastic on the top side of my z3c, enough to where i can noticeably see dust and other material in the gap.
Am i alone? Is this a wide spread issue? It really takes away from the premium feel of the phone to see all this dust & crap between the glass and plastic :\. Will post up some pictures if they can make out anything.
It's not very noticeable for me, but there are smalls gaps all around the glass rear and front. It's not very visible on the black version, but I can see some debris stuck in there under bright light. I can also feel the gap with my nail. I have the impression that the bottom gap (backside) is a bit larger than the top gap. My previous phone, Xperia Acro S, had no gap around the glass whatsoever.

My first one - black - had this pretty bad so I sent it back. I got a different colour instead - red/orange - so any dust collecting would hopefully be less noticeable, but the gap is actually less in this replacement. There's only a small one at the top of the front glass now.
So I think the cut of their glass panels is maybe not as precise as it should be and there is a bit of variance. But most people will have gaps of varying degrees I think..

If you feel on the left and right sides with you finger nail, can you feel your nail "drop" a little bit between the glass and plastic, with the replacement unit?

Maybe just, but it's not enough for dust to get in any more. Only at the top now is the gap large-enough for dust.

Ah, sounds like how it is for mine. I think they all have this to some degree. I wonder if Sony has a technical reason for the gaps?
Going to return my z3c and get another one which will hopefully have a better fitting screen. The spacing between the plastic band around the screen and the "translucent plastic" is also big enough where debris gotten stuck in it. Very disappointing.

That spacing is always going to be there I think. Well it's not actually a spacing, it's just because the finish between the plastic band and the translucent sides is not a flush finish. This is just the design of the phone. It does catch some small debris on mine as well, but it's relatively easy to remove.
At least you can wash your phone if it gets too dusty.
Just don't do it under running tap water.

This is not the spacing i'm referring to. I talking about between the glass and the plastic. It definitely is not apart of the design of hte phone, as the right left and bottom edges are almost perfectly flush.

That is the part my reply was about.

Ah gotcha. Yeah that spacing is disappointing but i'm "ok" with it. The glass spacing on the other hand i'm not ok with.
also mine has the gap in the left part,the right part its perfect
as you said probably the screen its not fit perfect,but for me its ok because i only see it if i look carefully.
I think it could actually be a safety measurement: if the phone falls and hits the ground with that plastic rim, the relatively small gap could prevent the impact from being directly transferred onto the glass.

I could believe that if it was the same gal on top and bottom, front and back. But it's not, it's only front top.

[Q] help bottom buttons not working all the time

I've just noticed an annoying behaviour where the back / home / windows buttons don't pick up keypress all the time.
It started right after I installed the power support shock absorbing film yesterday.
Before that I had the original plastic film for a couple of days and didn't notice any problem.
If I wet my finger they seem to be working all the time.
I suppose it's the power support film, is this something that just needs break-in/settle or should I throw the £18 screen away?
Why cover up the great Gorilla glass. Yes it can break with a drop but normal usage you will not get any scratches.
Just don't pocket it with keys and don't have sand in your pocket.

after having seen the terrible gorilla glass 3 of my gf's samsung s4 i decided it was worth put something in front ( that thing tends to scratch easily ).
back to the point, the powersupport i've got is the shock absorbing thicker one, i wonder if loss of sensibility around the edges is to be expected and will disappear with use, or whether it's just a big ripoff...
i do have dry fingers and wetting the surface solves the prob. temporarily, but i can't lick my fingers everytime i take out the phone
