So today I am just chillin, and pull out my phone from my pocket and I didnt really grip it hard and just falls from my hands... I swear when it dropped it felt that it was falling in slow motion. And out of all the places it could fall, it falls at an angle and then on the screen.
I picked it up and I see the top of the screen has a crack from one side to the other, and another crack on the bottom right corner. And it gets worse, when I turned on the screen the touch doesnt work at all so basically my whole screen is messed up.
Found a website that sells the screen already glued with the frame and a battery so all its missing is the motherboard and internal stuff.
Buttt its $170 so yea gotta wait till next week when I get payed.
I would post pics but dont have 10 posts so yea, it really sucks I've had the phone for about a month and I always protected it. :crying::crying::crying:
Sorry to hear that but I've read that LG will repair your screen for less than that.

hmmm..... But isn't LG already being super slow to produce the device itself, would probably take them a month to do it and I kinda need a phone
Asking them to give you a price and time estimate cannot hurt. Additionally, the limiting step of production is more likely everything that goes on that motherboard, not the touch screen.

Damn man, that sucks. The first time my Nexus was dropped was from my friend being careless... So because of that, I made it so that no one except me can use my phone. I hated my friend for doing that because it was the first hour I had my phone...
But for the screen fix, try to see if you can find a lower price. Doesn't hurt to continue searching the web.

LG will not give you a quote. They will only say, "We cannot give you a quote without you sending it in. Please send the phone in to us, with you being responsible for shipping, and then once we've had a chance to look at it, we will let you know the cost of the repair."
Even after I pushed saying how about the front lcd and digitizer, they still wouldn't give me an estimate.
Sam Thing happened to me.. just 1 crack but half the touchscreen doesnt work.. i've seen plenty of ppl with cracked iphones whose touch still works.. called lg and they told me the same thing. Don't know if its worth wasting money on shipping just to find out they charge more for repair.. kind of a risk. Did you ever end up getting it fixed?
So was it worth not having a case?
Life is like a pubic hair on a toilet seat. You're gonna get pissed off sometimes.

In US is something like $140...in UK I will let you know on Friday when I receive the quote
That really sucks... Something about these new phones, in particular the ones with the new touch sensor in glass or whatever they call it. The touch response is gone on a crack. I recall my first Droid had two cracks across the entire face and it worked flawlessly... I think I'd rather have that 1mm gap in the display/glass then have to replace it due to a simple crack.

Ouch that really does suck
Hope you get it fixed pretty soon
knock on wood, i hope i don't drop it, i have butter fingers too, i did let it slip once but i had the usb cable in it still and it only fell like 2 foot on soft wooden floor, if you drop it from your pocket( 4ft >) and it hits hard floor like cement, its a goner i think!
Just a quick pol to see out of those who have a Nexus 5 how many have a rattling/loose power button?
Got mine today...started off ok, after an hour it started rattling whenever i tap the top right corner (well, whenever i tap anywhere really)...
Rattling like a maraca
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I don't mean to start an internet war here but this is nothing new. People complained about this from the Nexus 4 and many other phones before it. It's a pretty damn common thing and not really something to get upset about. RMAing the device will most certainly yield the same results with the new phone so what's the big fuss about?
Besides, as soon as you throw a case on the phone (as many of us do) it's moot anyway. And if you don't want to use a case just do what this guy did. Simple fix.
I wasnt looking for a war, i was just curious about the number of people who do have rattling to the number who dont.
Makes sense I suppose. I just think you can expect a large number of people saying "yes". In reality this is common with Android smartphones, in my experience.
No rattling here.

Coming from a galaxy nexus it's a bit odd...
the only creaking i had there was the battery cover
How loose is loose? Mine rattles only when I shake it and put it to my ear, but I've yet to notice it on daily use. Does that count as normal, or rattling.
EDIT- Even when I move the phone around in front of my face I can barely hear it.. Physically it rattles, though, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I've got real bad hearing...

Can't post a poll in another thread and can't really tell how many people are complaining about it and how many arent :/
Mine rattles every time I tap the button for the quick settings shade. But so far that's the only thing I have found to complain about on mine. So if that's all, I think I can live with it or fix it.

I opened my nexus up and applied the paper fix. However, while I was there I noticed that it wasn't so much the button rattling.. It was mostly coming from the sim tray area. No idea how to fix that.. I'm gonna try adding a layer of tape to the branded side of the sim card to see if it can mute any other noise

I received mine in mid december, and i have not had this issue.

This is a common ailment many devices have. No big deal.

Mine rattles a little, but it doesn't bother me at all and I couldn't possibly care less.
Mine would rattle every time I would tap the screen. It got annoying quick, so I took it back and got it replaced. The new one is much more solid and doesn't rattle.

IMO all has button rattle. The phone design has too much distance tolerance between from PCB button switch and the actual buttons. so based on PCB location when assembly of the phone. It can make button rattle either volume or power button. some might have less some might have more depending on the position of PCB. I've RMAed my phone for button rattle for 5 times. and all had rattle. some has less but still there.
The iPhone 4 has this problem too, and does my nexus 5 so i pretty much got used to it.
Could just be some people's OIS camera. It can make a sound if shaken.
Dear friends
Just gotten my new S7 edge and instead of putting the pin to the SIM card
hole I putted in the microphone hole :crying:
Do you believe I have damaged the microphone ? And can this been repair ?
I tried to ask if calling somebody and closing the down microphone he hear me
and he mention that my voice was far away and with interruptions .
Any advise and help :crying:

I almost did that earlier today when swapping the sim from my 6P to the S7E (I change between the two phones often). Samsung should have put the sim tray on the side to avoid that, or made the mic hole a different size the tool wouldn't fit in it.

do you think that samsung does this on purpose?
I did the same thing but it didn't seem to affect anything. I haven't tested the mic specifically but I ran it underwater and my phone didn't fry so I assume if it still is water resistant there was no way I could have destroyed the underlying mic or its protective water resistant barrier. When I first did it I found a post mentioning that the top mic on most phones is in the shape of an L, so if this is true, then all you were doing was stabbing the housing but there is no way to physically stab the mic with a simple pin insertion. Either way I have 14 days so if I did stab it and destroy the contents, ill exchange it.

sorry to pop the discussion up, but today I did the same thing (pin the mic hole instead of the sim tray), but I felt something moving inside while I was pushing..that happened to you too? I read you tested it underwater (that's my only concern, since I tested the mic and it works fine and I believe I just only removed the "water proof" seal)

I didn't notice anything moving around in there after I did it. I haven't noticed any major side effects thus far so I am going to assume it didn't damage anything considering the mic still works as well as the waterproofing. If something is moving then I would be nervous to try it underwater, but if you have insurance I'd test it and have it replaced if it isn't waterproof anymore.

Thanks for the reply, I meant, when I pushed the clip inside the mic, I felt something "going away" down the hole, maybe some kind of seal? Goretex layer? I was wondering if you felt the same when you pushed the first time inside that hole (lol it seems naughty).
I don't have an insurance so I can't try if it fries or not under the water

It's been a while now, but I don't recall noticing anything move as I pressed it in either. It felt like the sim ejector port that I thought it was until I realized nothing was popping out. I pressed firmly but not forcefully, so if I didn't break anything then I bet you didn't either, but I could be wrong since I don't actually know what is going on in that mic hole.
The best thing to do would be to ask for an exchange within the 14 day return period.
This says it's not harmful on most phones: https://youtu.be/85p_oFk595I?t=236
I thought I had a very fine barely noticeable scratch both on the front and back glass. There is nothing in my pocket or where I place my phone usually that would scratch it(plus isn't it gorilla glass 5?).
Anyway, now I look at the back and that very fine scratch has expanded... GREAT, it's not a scratch but a crack. The front is staying put but the back crack is spreading and now split off to form another one. It is very tiny and you have to angle the phone to see it.
This phone has never been dropped. I don't put it in my back pocket. Nothing has ever been placed or dropped on top of it. WTF?
Anyone else have this problem. I doubt this is covered under warranty. I am so pissed. My last couple phones have been disasters. I need to stop buying phones right after they come out... (all though that might not help as the nexus 6p I had didn't have problems for a year. argh! why do phones suck these days)
It sounds like a manufacturer defect. And that's difficult because you have to prove that. Perhaps you can just go into wherever you got it or to a carrier store and talk to them and explain. They might be cool with replacing it.
I've read a lot of posts around talking about how this phone scratches easily. It's actually got me considering putting on a screen protector and I've never done that before.
Could the crack possibly be due to heat causing the expansion of the glass? I'm thinking perhaps the gap everyone talks about on the note 3 note 4 etc models is for that reason. To allow the glass some space when it gets hot.
Just my thoughts.

I have the light leak along the sides, but it is not caused by a gap in the glass. It's the black along the edges of the screen not being all the way to the very bottom.

I have yet to join an XDA forum regarding all the mobiles I have owned in recent years and not found one of these threads.
Some peers actually claim to have had their screen crack overnight while on the bed side table? And so it goes on. Its a mystery?
I have seen an 18" dia ships porthole 1.5" thick get dropped and not break yet overnight while standing in a wooden jig they have broken! Glass is an inherently odd material and I have no idea what you are going to do to resolve this situation? This phenomena can happen but its generally owners who, either known or unkown, break the glass.
Where is the crack? Can you possibly post a photo? This would be invaluable to asses what may have accurd.
This could be difficult for you to resolve. Have you insured it?

I noticed I have a crack on the back as well. Been in a case since I got it and no drops, but still a crack. Don't know how it got there, but at least I can't see it

I was on the Verizon support site tonight. There are a small number of people there who are complaining about this exact thing.
Hello All,
I recently bought a brand new Note 9 from John Lewis in the UK and have had it for about 2 weeks now. It's been a great phone with one major issue: whenever I clean the screen with a microfibre cloth using a little bit of downward pressure on the screen I can hear a clear and loud popping/cracking sound. This happens when the phone is both powered on or off, the temperature of the phone makes no difference either and it happens around most of the screen surface, it doesn't seem to matter. Also when I fog the screen with my breathe I can see marks/patterns even if the screen is completely clean. I am not using a screen protector or a case. I am storing it in a pouch.
I did a little digging around online and a few others have had a similar issue too, their issues seems to be when they touch the screen (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/experience-popping-noise-pressing-note-t3881671). The consensus seems to be that there might be an issue with the glue/adhesive with the glue possibly being weak or loose.
I contacted John Lewis for a replacement and the second Note 9 has the exact same issue. At least one person who got a replacement got a new unit where the popping was worse and just refunded it.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
How common is this problem?
I have a owned quite a few phones (no Samsung phones btw) and this is the first time I have encountered this before. I have tried to replicate this on friends and family members phones, who all by chance happen to not own any Samsung phones either, no popping/cracking sound again.
This might be a lot to ask, but if anyone is willing to, can you replicate what I did to see if your unit makes this same popping/cracking sound by using a microfibre cloth and rubbing it over the screen with a little downward pressure? I know it's not something a lot of people naturally do, but it would be interesting to see how common this might be.
Thanks
Yea, I've got the same issue here too. Dint bother to take it to Samsung coz I cant replicate it all the time and the last time I did the the same with a Sony phone for a similar issue, they kept my device with them for 2 days and said its alright.
is it like a sticky sound? as if it was delaminating

Can't say for certain. Could be, but I don't know enough about that to confirm that. Best I can say is that if sounds like a cracking or popping sound when I rub over the screen with the cloth with a little bit of downward force.

check if it was refurbished. maybe the screen got repaired ?(not adequately)
anyways just take it back
I had the same problem when I sent my T-Mobile branded Note 9 to the Samsung repair center in Texas. They replaced the camera module because it was having trouble focusing after the software update to Pie. When it came back it had new issues and was returned. After my phone was gone for several weeks I made numerous phone calls to support requesting a replacement since this was the 2nd time I had returned the phone. One day I get an S-pen and an SD tray in the mail... no reason why, no explanation, nothing. More calls to Samsung wanting to know where my phone was or when a replacement or a refund was coming. Two days later a phone finally shows up out of the blue. It has a different IMEI so I guess it's a new phone. Everything works fine but it makes a crinkling noise when you clean the screen.. All tolled, Samsung held my phone hostage for over a month, the returned calls promised from supervisors never materialized, my phone disappeared into oblivion for weeks and I have an extra S-pen , an extra SD card tray and a Note with a crinkling screen. Worst customer support experience ever.
I've had a Note 9 since December that did this occasionally, but doesn't seem to do it any more. Hasn't affected it otherwise.
Probably Vietnamese or Chinese builds.
