Is there any way to flip the display software so that I can rotate the watch around on my left hand so the button I'll on the opposite side and not against my hand. It's not a HUGE issue but I'd like to see if this is possible.
Thanks

Been very happy with the Kaiser so far, including on the GPS front ;-) but I'm getting slightly annoyed by two hardware nits :
1. wobbly : in portrait mode when I tap on the screen the right side tends to "hit" the keyboard part underneath and looking closely it's easy to understand why, there is a tiny gap between the two parts, likely for the slide/tilt mechanism
2. sloped : when I pull out the keyboard, the right side of the screen goes out more than the left side so it is slightly sloped. It improved a bit when folding the screen. Again I think this is a constraint of the slide/tilt mechanism
I'm thinking it's a general quirk because I had to change my first model (stuck key) and it had the same problems.
Anyone else noticed that ?
in portrait mode my kaiser seems to be spaced the same all the way around and doesnt push on the keyboard when tapping the screen. I do notice what you mean by the keyboard appearing to be farther out on the right side but after taking a closer look it just seems that way because of the face plate not being uniform all the way down (part where it flares out on the left side). Mine is exactly pushed out on both sides.

Mine's the same as this. It sounds like yours may not be quite right and I'd consider getting a replacement. Of course, if you can live with it, and the functionality is all there then it's entirely up to you.
For the sloping I've had two and they were both the same, so it's probably a design constraint, no biggie.
For the "wobbling", it comes and goes, I can only really feel the "knocks" when I hold the left side tight and tap on the scroll bar on the right, again, no biggie.

iv had the same problem of one end sticking out,
iv gone around it by inserting some tiny smugged paper into the sliding slots at the back, resolves the issue quite well.
I don't seem to have either problem (TyTN II version).
Does anyone else have this problem:
When you're just pressing a bit harder than the usual touch, on the top and bottom Left side bezel, it causes the Screen to ripple (fluid wave effect).
Not even pushing down too hard, just a firmer press than usual. This is easy too see on a darker background, like the default background when the device wakes up and still in locked mode.
Yes I realize it's a LCD screen, plus this Corning glass is thinner, and we're not always pressing it that hard to notice anyway.
But the Right side bezel and other areas are mostly fine,
So I'm wondering if it's a defect on my device or not (the left side being too sensitive)? would this cause further problem in the future? And it could be a concern if I carry the Nexus 7 in the backpack and other items pressing on it.
Other reports on this:

"the display can give a little and cause the LCD to ripple if you really press hard against the screen"

I wonder if I try the Fix on the other thread, taking off the cover, but instead, loosen the screws a bit on the left side, would that help?
Thanks!
Hi,
My device has this too. Mostly on the left side & a little less on the right side but hardly any on the top or bottom.
Is it just me or is this part of the design? I find that the volume rocker, quite literally rocks just a tad. Feels to me like it might be intentional but the power button on the other hand seems to be pretty snug in place. If anyone else can post their results, I'd appreciate it.
I also figured that since the frame and buttons are metal along with the volume rocker being one solid button, that it'd need a small amount of room to function without jamming. My OCD is setting in...

You are correct. The button needs room to move as it's rotating on its axis (when you look at it from the side), so the top corners need some space to move in.
Think of a rectangle that's rotating around its exact center - as it rotates, follow the top corner and see how it starts "sticking out further to the side" than if the rectangle was sitting perfectly horizontal? That's what that extra space is for, and is unavoidable in a rocker button - to get rid of that you would need to split it into two separate buttons that press straight down, just like the power button, which has no extra space around it because it does not rotate, it just goes straight down.
Source: I used to obsess over minute imperfections like this to the point where it caused me severe anxiety and I chose to not have any more anxiety and just enjoy my gadgets. Nothing is ever perfect, unless you have a skilled craftsman hand-make you one.
this is the design, all of my previous galaxy S phones were like this, same thing with the note 4. i'd say just get over it and enjoy the device. the next one you get might be worse. :good:
How's the home button on your note 4
Mine has some play in it if you touchbit slightly with you finger. How are yours?
Yes mine is also slightly loose, no big deal to me. Seems solid despite the wiggle room, I wouldn't worry about it.
Nah, this is not design and the theories of rotating rectangles are just weak. It is just funny how people build theories around something that they have zero idea about...
I checked some working Note 4 in mobile phone shops and they are very solid with no movements and no rattling. Same with my friend's Note 4.
Unfortunately, the volume rocker in my Note 4 is very loose. I am not sure if I will return it or not as I am using the case, so this "minor" issue becomes invisible.
Home and power buttons are stiff and solid - no sounds definitely. They barely move.
Doesn't matter on the placement too much as sometimes my watch will reset because I bent my hand and it hit and held the middle button causing it restart. Is there something I can fill in the space with to stop the button from pushing down? Maybe a very tiny elastic band?
Or you can wear it on your right hand?
Go to a watch shop, most new watches come with the crown held out with a small plastic disc. Maybe one of these might fit.

You must be double jointed or something, I tried to bend my wrist a half a
dozen times as hard as I could and even slid the watch as close as I could
to my wrist trying to intentionally press the button but I could not do it.
Good luck!
Have a great day!
I have done it twice in a week.
Happens to me all the time, also beware the button is easily broken as I have learnt. The watch fell while putting it on and landed on the button and it no longer works

Happens to me Several Times a Day,, many times it will reboot,, if i try to attach my watch higher than the wrist bones my shirt or jacket will cover the watch face and i will have to use my other hand to expose the face,, very annoying when all you want to do is Glance at the Watch face for the time or messages that just came through,,, By the Way Switching to my Right Hand Does Solve the Issue of Accidentally Pressing the Button But Very Annoying and Makes it Extremely difficult to press the Buttons with my left hand
This was one of the most frustrating things I ran into with my ZW3, as it happened all the time. However, there is a fairly easy solution. Flip it around so that the buttons are on the opposite side, then run Set Orientation to force the screen to match. Problem solved.
If you are comfy setting up your phone as an ADB bridge, you can upload the APK on the fly. Otherwise, you will need to plug it into a PC and upload over ADB the ordinary way. However, getting the Set Orientation app on the watch is the hardest part of the whole deal.
Hi everybody
I think that the fingerprint sensor should be placed in the middle of the screen.
Many of the renders we have around the web, show it at the bottom of the screen though.
With a screen as large as this, I think this would be even worse than having it on the back of the phone.
Now that they can put it in the screen itself, the most convenient and user productive place for it is somewhere in the middle of the screen.
So if anybody knows where is it situated, please share this.
I cradle the bottom of the phone with my pinky. That would position my thumb 1/3 from the bottom of the screen. Putting it in the middle would strain my hand a little.

Didn't get that... I'm only saying that when I'm holding a phone with similar size, the thumb is around the middle of the screen or a bit lower than that.
it is the bottom middle

Though I'm still hoping this is not the case...
