Screen sliding problem

When my screen slide up its scratching away the black/silver finish next to the left side of the keyboard. Anyone else having this problem? I also called verizon and i will be receiving a new one.

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.

Drunk a$$ dumped beer on phone.

So what would you do? This just happened to me.. my phone is working fine thankfully to a quick battery pull and bowl of rice(myth?) Other then that this guy just said he was sorry. He dumped a half beer onto a galaxy s and an evo shift at the same time.. all I said was "**** happens man!" (While thinking gfy ya slob.)

If I was also drunk, I probably would have flipped. Maybe not. I'm the belligerent type.
Really though I probably would have said the same thing. Things like that are bound to happen. It could have been you spilling beer on your own phone (I've done this).
Never tried the rice trick, though I have heard it works. I once left my Palm Pre in the front yard. Then it snowed 6 inches. The Pre sat in the snow until it melted before I found it again... I pulled the battery and left it on the window sill for a few days. When I put it back together, it worked perfectly.

I use those silica gel packets and Tupperware. Works magic if you can get 2+ packs
Your phone has now contracted phone AIDS. Shoulda used protection while rooting. LD

Rice? It works because uncooked rice is dehydrated and will pull a lot of moisture. Silica gel works too, but you can't eat it later.
Other than that, I'd make him pay.

Dude, like I said ... I'm sorry. Like, extremely sorry. I don't know how else to say it.

It's funny. I HATE talking on my phone, but I'm constantly checking Facebook, various forums on tapatalk, and listening to music(more since I got some decent headphones). So yes, I am addicted and feel naked without it.

Yes, I am addicted. Can't leave my sell for a minute. It's even next to me when I go to the toilet

I also feel like i'm naked without my phone, just because i'm so used to have it with me at all times. I don't think i'm addicted to it though

its like an extension of my body already hahaha!

I'd rather risk breaking mine than putting them down. The cell phone repair store loves me.

Nope I can live without it. Although I might have a hard time finding something to do when I'm bored.

Better yet, have her call you from her phone. that way she never has to touch your phone, and you know she didn't give you a bogus number.

That's why I barely let anyone touch my phone.

Well friends, I finally did it

I finally took the phone into the shower. Made some calls, sent some texts, even took a selfie. Everything worked flawlessly. This is just the next iteration in a history of durability I've had with sammy. Very pleased

I have to disagree with you.
I took mine in the shower and while the screen worked it was hard for me to do anything because the water was hitting the screen and I guess the screen figured it was a finger. I couldn't do anything

I really hope water resistance becomes the standard for any smart device. It has been long overdue.

Very true. I remember how it basically became a standard in Japan at least 5 years ago. Glad to see the US market manufacturers beginning to show some care for longevity rather than building phones that last exactly two years

Mine gets a daily washing and I also take it in the shower to listen to tunes.
I do notice if the water hits the speaker at the right angle then well,, it sounds like crap for a few hours until it dries out.
Yes the screen does go wacky but that could also be having the extra sensitivity turned on?
Probably already posted but here is my daily wash the S5..
