Check your black model for air bubbles under the front panel

Just returned my SGS5 due to an air bubble or something under the front panel.
I've seen a lot of black SGS5 with this issue on one of the corners or around the home button. It is visible with sunlight or under a lamp. You need to pass your fingers around the front panel and then they will appear.
Check these pictures I took to see what I mean:

On the white model it can't be seen. Only on black ones.
Check to see if you have it.

Mines fine....had it since release

That happened to my friend but only after he dropped it, luckily on the carpet. Very cheap work from Samsung on a flag ship.
And it's really annoying... any way to fix it?

I had that develop - had the phone since launch day and the bubble developed 2 weeks ago. I took it into Samsung repair Centre and they replaced the screen within the day.

Disappointing to see such quality issues on their flagship.
Checked mine, looking fine so far, have it since launch.

It's mostly noticeable on the black model and in daylight at certain angles.
I've also seen it around the home button.
I've checked several black ones with this issue on stores.

None of them have the tempered glass screen protectors do they? I would hate to see everyone freaking out because their screen protector isn't lined up exactly how it should and creating the same problem.
I can speak from experience. Not that I thought my screen was messed up, but from how there is 0% tolerance with some of the tempered glass screen protectors and they need to be lined up perfectly or else around the corners they will have air bubbles exactly as everyone here shows.

Yes. Mine too, but the glass protection has been changed from 2 monhs ago. There is no scratch on it and I don't use cover

It's a really weird issue.
A guy above said he's was fine and the bubble appeared 2 weeks ago.
Is this something that can appear at a later time?
I think this is due to the waterproof protection.

Lines covering the hardware buttons and LED

Does anyone else have faint black lines covering the hardware buttons or the LED on the black n4?
I'll try to post a picture later- they're basically the thin lines that appear on the top and bottom of the phone, but instead of stopping along/over the LED and menu/return keys, they kinda look painted over them.
I did install a tempered glass screen protector before noticing this, but if anyone else sees the same thing, please post.

It's normal. Note 3 is similar but different pattern.

It's not the same on my N3... the lines don't cover the button lights...
See my attachment.
There are black lines covering the LED as well. Certainly doesn't seem normal.

The s5 was/Is the same way

Sorry ya mines the same. But on the note 3 it isn't as noticeable because the pattern is different. It's the pattern that Samsung used that makes it too obvious.

I'm glad I have bad eye sight; I probably wouldn't of noticed it if it wasn't posted here..
thanks for making me look for it when I get my phone! :crying:

I had the same question. When i saw it i almost wanted to return the device. I can not believe they would make something like the note 4 and then ruin it with that kind of finish. I am really disappointed by the fact that they didn't keep the same style as the note 3 at least or improved it. a nice brushed aluminun look or something. anything is better then these stupid lines. it reminds me of an old crt monitor from WAY back in the day that was interlaced. just ugly.

Must be something with the black version. I have the lines also but my wife got the white version and doesn't have the lines...

Do what I do and turn off the back lights

[Q] Build Quality

I just got my gear live and I was wondering if anyone else has a noticeable gap on either side of their gear live? Also, it seems that the heart rate sensor on mine looks crooked. Is this how it is supposed to be? The heart rate monitor seems to work fine. Although, I have not really tested it for accuracy. Please let me know if these build issues are normal.

I have noticed a gap on the upper inside area where the plastic meets the bezel on the side opposite the charging port.
It does make me question it's IP 67 certification.

I have another question for anyone on here. Does your screen show a sort of pink line of pixels at the top when a white screen is shown? I think it may just be the way these displays are made but I wasn't sure.

I see that as well. It is hard to describe but I do see a pinkish hue that lines the upper edge of the display which is most noticeable on a white background.

I just tried the pixels and its true but unnoticeable in normal use. As for the gap that's quite big compared to mine which I've had for months.

Mine looks the same and I have seen the gap on other watches. It varies. I have gotten it a little wet on the sides from washing my hands and so far no issues here. It should not affect the IP 67 certification. I wonder if the pink hue on white screens could be fixed with a software update?
Other issues I have noticed are my watch band creaks a little if I move it around and also my heart rate sensor looks crooked as you can see in my pictures. Other than these things, it is a great watch!

Skin instead of case?

Hi, I've recently found out about skins - an interesting alternative for cases. To be honest, I couldn't find any good case for this phone. Now I'm using Nilikin Case - it's slim, looking pretty good, but has cracks in few places already. I guess it doesn't give me any protection anyway in case of hitting the floor. But naked phone is way to slippery (especially the glass on the back). So why not trying skin instead? I had hard time to find something, which has (potentially) good quality. I had to find international (on eBay), because there was almost nothing in my country to buy (only printed crap with very bad reviews).
So I found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Carbon-S...sh=item419deb1600:g:ie8AAOSwYHxWFs20#shpCntId
So, should I give it a try?

I'd vote for: yes! Looks definitely interesting, please share some pictures if you do.

Ordered Brushed 3D: Black. We'll see how it performs.

Just got my skin today! I didn't expect it so early. Anyway it's not easy task to put this skin (and any other as well i guess). I left my metal bumper, because it love how it's looking. So only top and back skin are on. Gonna post some photos maybe tomorrow

Here are photos:

Thanks for the pics! Do you like it? Is the material nice to touch?

Yeah I like it. Material is nice to touch and looks durable. But who knows how really tough it is, we'll see in few weeks. One downside is front skin covers notification led! Because of that it's very dim.

After a week of usage I have to say it got some scratches on back (several). Fortunately there aren't that much visible.

Hi, any new experience after 2 months? Specially some fall damage, that is my big problem.
Thanks

Well, a lot of scratches, but they aren't that visible on black texture. However I've taken off front skin, because when phone was heating up (while playing some games) sticky glue was going from it. Fall damage? Well - it doesn't give you any protection from falling on the ground and any other skin won't give you any. For me it's great cover for back glass, because glass has a lot of fingerprints and is very slippery.

i prefer the case than the skin. the skins don't give much protection already the both side of my phone got cracked

Poetic Premium Hybrid Protective Clear Bumper Cover

Got this one, looks really nice on the phone, used Spigen before, but this case is much better protection for OnePlus 7T. Feels very grippy in a hand too. Check it on Amazon, can't add a picture but added it on Amazon.

I have this. Doesnt work well with gestures because the front lip extends so much. Protection wise, its top notch. No complains about protection.
If you guys dont use gestures, u should be fine.

It doesnt bother u at all? When i try to swipe from the side the case gets in the way too often haha.

Nope, maybe it's fingers size or the way you swipe... donno. Nevertheless, it's a great case and I love it.

Just got mine a few hours ago. I don't use gestures so that's no big deal, but I like it. The only thing that's kind of annoying is adjusting the mechanical switch to control silent, vibrate etc. It's kind of buried, but I'll get used to it. This is the first two piece case I've had and it seems pretty solid. Much easier to type with my huge hands. Not hitting things with my palm any longer.

I literally just got mines today. I wouldn't call it a grippy case but it definitely has a good amount of protection.
The downside is that it's a little more bulky than it's like and the raised lip around the edges hinders gesture performance.

Looks pretty nice in blue.
