I was wondering if anyone else can confirm this issue. I was removing fingerprints from the back of my s6 with my shirt and I realized that when i push or rub the middle of the back of the device in a certain way, it pops or makes a click noise. I don't see anything moving, it just sort of clicks lightly. It is most apparent when you hold the phone horizontally from the top and bottom and push or rub the middle of it. I can replicate the click and motion that causes it every time. Is this normal or possible a loose backplate? Thanks!
It seems to be right over the middle to the left side. I can even sometimes push it down directly and it makes a clicking noise.
I can't make mine click.

On my ATT Tilt when ever I close the sliding screen now it does not line up properly. The screen sites a few millimeters to the right of where it should. I called ATT and they said that Slide issues aren't covered under warranty. Anyone else having a similar issue?
No problems here, although keyboard sliding is a bit easier to move since the day I bought it and it sometimes moves when I don't expect it to...
Yeah it def slides easier, but it doesn't line up properly.
I've dropped mine many times (only onto carpets so far, happily) and on occasion have found the top half of the phone slightly misaligned with the rest - resulting in a lip at the top, bottom, or right hand side. I've found that with a little gentle but firm nudge the other way, it usually fits back into place. I think there's a little movement designed into the whole thing, to allow it to take repeated sliding and the odd knock without the stress damaging anything.
Removing the battery cover on the Nexus is rather irritating, is there a specific way YOU remove it, I know its simply sliding it up - but I'm still having troubles.
Heh. Knew I wouldn't be the only one having problems with it.
I posted a thread about this some time ago. This was the method that worked for me:

Try this, hold your phone in your left hand facing down with your index finger and thumb just on the sides of the phone just above the capacitive buttons. Then place the ball of your right palm on the back of the cover and push up while applying a little force, it should open pretty easily.

I find it easiest to hold it so the top of the phone is facing away from you, face down. hold it so your fingers are on the screen side, kind of going down the length of the screen on each side and place your thumbs about 1/2" in from the edge, just above the split.. on the half that slides off.
Now... counter intuitively... press your thumbs down into the phone with a little bit of forward motion too (the direction it slides). If you have your thumbs in the right places, you'll easily defeat the hooks that hold the case together and it'll pop right open.
@grainysand the palm method also works pretty well too, but I still tend to need at least 2-3 tries removing it that way. it's rare that I can't get the shell apart my first try using the thumb tactic.
good luck! it must have been pretty hilarious watching me get the thing apart the first couple times i tried.
??? Hmmmm... ....Hold it in your left hand with screen facing down...put left thumb on bottom of cover...right thumb just below the camera lense cover...Right index finger on top of the phone...making sure you're not holding the cover down with it...and push up with both thumbs.

very descriptive this is the way i've done it the whole 3 times i have opened it.
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.
I posted this in this thread, but I also wanted to post here to get feedback (agree/disagree) from others seeing the screen lift issue.
I've tried a few of the suggested fixes (shim, screw loosen/tighten, remove sponge, reheat glue) to fix my screen lift but the lift keeps coming back. On my device I can see a pronounced warp down the left hand side. Visible on both the screen frame and the plastic back case.
Removing the back case I see it warped on the left but straight on the right. I wonder if this is in fact the root cause of the lift. The warped case is applying force to the left side and the screen can't help but lift.
I've attached pictures to illustrate the issue. You can see (by the color of my fingertip) the amount of force I have to apply to press the left side flat. I think this is why the fixes are all temporary. The warped case will eventually win out against all fix attempts.
I actually don't want to RMA my device. I frankly can't be bothered to. However, if Google wants to send me a new back cover I'd happily accept it. I would imagine, though, that procedurally this would be problematic... you don't want customers taking the devices apart, it's unlikely they have cases lying about, and they have an RMA process in place that most likely is triggered by a clicking a single button on a form (least fuss).
Is anyone else seeing this warping?
The pictures I've attached show:
Looking down the left edge - you can clearly see the warp.
Looking down the right edge - no warp.
Side on of the left edge.
Side on of the right edge.
The left edge before and after pressing down with my finger.
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.
