Mind if I ask how you took the side strips off? I'm going to replace mine soon due to wear and tear, so would like to know how.
EDIT: ok so I found they are glued on, bit of hairdryer and popped off.

Never really noticed until I read this but mine is actually doing it just a little on both sides of the keyboard. They are sending you a new one just cause it is doing that?
Called and verizon had no problem sending me a new one

Yeah if its a new phone, they usually have no problem exchanging it out and making you happy.... they don't want a refund

ah, there is definitely a wear problem there. looks like the sliding mecahnism is scratching the paint. that's too bad, i really like this phone. my guess is a replacement will do the same thing. maybe some protective tape around the bezel will fix the issue.
I have had mine for a little over a week, use the keyboard for everything and dont have this issue.
I can see a spot where the screen slides its a little darker than the rest but does not seem to be removing the paint or anything like that.

i ran my fingernail over the area and it's definitely scratched. the question is the durability of the paint. i've only had my phone since Friday evening of last week and i'm already noticign the wear.
I haven't had any scratching when I slide it up

I've had mine for about a week and I haven't noticed any peeled paint, it doesn't feel rough or scratched either.

wow! mine is definitely not that bad. yet.
I'm using the snap on case for the holster, and I know when I slide it out, I can feel some dragging.
With it off though, smooth as silk.
I never put a case on my phone. Why take away the beauty of it. I have insurance and warranty if something goes wrong or breaks.

Yeah I'm having the same issue. I've had it for about a month now, and a while ago I would hear a scraping when the phone opens. I noticed there are two clips underneath the screen that probably help the phone STAY closed/open. This is where the scraping is for me. Mine is pretty bad at this point, now have silver lines about half a cm thick on the back of my screen. Pretty sad. I know the OG Droid had this issue after alot of wear and time, but this is early. :'(
Do you carry the phone in your back pocket? looks like compression scratches.
No. Only had that current phone for two days before i noticed it.

Just go to a repair store, pay and get it done with. Don't try to fix it yourself unless you done it before and know what you are doing.
Good luck

Okay I have bought a new digitiser for my xperia sp c5303, with some drawbacks my sp is white, and I have orderd a black digitiser, reasons being the white digitiser are selling for £135 - £150 in UK. As the black ones are sellimg for £35.. Not sure why the price is so big in diffrence, But anyway I always wear a back case so you wont tell that it has a white back and black front, And its much cheaper!! Second issue is the repair shops want around £100 - £120 to fit the New digitiser, so how can I fit this my self? Im quute technical but not a pro. Ive searched YouTube & Google but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated! Thankyou.

Pebble software bugs

I'm having screen composing problems while in menu. It happens very often and it's very annoying.
Any solution?

Try factory resetting and check for new updates. Hasn't happened on mine ever even on low battery.
EDIT: I'll contact a guy at pebble i know see what he can do.
Allready tried factory reset but same problem. Indeed it's more often when low battery but even after charge problem persist.
Just sent an support e-mail to pebble, see what they can do.

Hi!
Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).
Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble
Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on!
Received a confirmation for replacement few days ago. Le't see...
Sorry no time for other pics now. Will try soon

Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".
I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.
Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.
Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.

Dust under scree

Hello everybody,
A few months ago I noticed a few specks of dust under my screen. Today I noticed that it was much more than it was before.
I saw on youtube there was a way to disassembly this phone (with unscrew screws and stuff) but I thought that is way to risky with putting it back.
Now I'm wondering, is there a easy way remove the screen (without rescrewing)
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Same here. 3 points of dust. I repair phones at my work, but our lg is really tricky. I can live with the dust.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Me too
Gesendet von meinem A210 mit Tapatalk
How do you expect to take the phone and screen apart without unscrewing it? If you are semi-competent it is an easy enough task - I did it with no problems at all.
I thought there might be a way to do it by heat the screen with a hairdryer or something
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
You should take it to some repair service it will be not that much expensive since its not a repair its cleaning and they will take your screen off them will use new glue which probably will prevent dust going under the screen. Here in my country the procedure will cost arround 10-20 Euro.
That's a good idea

I suspect you're dutch like me, so would you be so kind to let me (or us) know what they charge you?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Indeed, I'm Dutch. I'm just 16 years old so I don't have much income. Currently I'm saving for a new television.
I think that when I bought my television, I'll let "them" clean my screen and tell what they charged me.

Student here, so not much to spend either.. I do take apart phones from time to time, but as maus01 said, our 4x is kinda tricky..

Strange screen problem

Hi does anyone else have this problem? If you look at the attached pic's you'll see what looks like pressure on the screen causing it to change colour. It doesn't affect the use of the phone, should I send it back for fixing? Would it be covered by warranty (unlocked boot loader) Or should i just put up with it?
Another pic
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have this issue and doubt its the unlocked boot loader. I work in a freezer -28c and sometimes mine does this but as soon as it warms up its fine
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
That's hardware problem. Take it back to sony center.

Try taking the case off. I've seen tight cases do this on a few phones.

Its not the case, still does it without the case. Might take it into the shop see what they say
