Front camera off centerd. Should I care? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
So recently got my replacement of note 5 due to screen issue.
This unit is perfect the only problem is my FFC is off centerd towards bottom left.
Its not blocking picture or anything.
Just getting ocd.
So guys should I care? If the ffc is off centerd?

Posting a pic might help.

These are the two picture.

Doesn't look like its a major thing. You should take it to a Samsung Repair Center... They should be able to fix and give it back.

Well actually its not blocking pictures in anyway.. So debating should i take it for repair or not.

I had OCD just like you. I would take it. And I don't think you'll be charged for it. Its a brand new device.

My S3 had a similar problem, but for the back camera. They fixed it in half hour. That's why I suggested taking it repair center.

Oh ya! Rear is actually easier to fix.. For front they will need to replace the screen or. The whole unit. Thats why debaiting.

That could be a problem... since its not doing anything go photos. You can just keep it then. Changing the whole unit is a big hassle

My experia z1 with exact same issue.. But going strong fr years.

Would love to know other people thoughts as well.

my note 5 looks the same. it seems like the lens they are using causes it to look like off centered. Don't worry about it. Better that then them trying to dissemble the whole phone for one camera that has no defect.

I think you are right.
As the camera is working perfectly fine. It will be horrundus to sent the phone for repair. Just now I have to try controlling my damm ocd.

OCD stinks! Thanks for making me check mine. It is slightly off. Nothing to worry about. My Lumia 1520 rear camera was way off and I never had an issue. It should be fine as long as there is no vignette. ?

Have you seen my front camera pic i attached ? Do you think its way off center? Should i be worried? I know it dosent harm anything just my damm ocd.

It probably won't make difference unless your phone is pointing at an extreme angle to the sun to cause adverse vignette shading. I liken it to that micro scratch on the screen you never noticed until that one day when the sun hit it just right. Now you can't take your eyes off it...LOL!

Well, if it's a $50 phone I wouldn't care but for me it's a $1000+ phone so yeah they can fix/replace it until I get what I paid for....a premium phone.

Strange reaction on teflon coating

Anyone else got this on their phone?
It started last night and seems to have got progressively worse.
I think it's time to get it in for a repair and get the leaking left hand bottom corner of my screen done at the same time.

Is it from the heat? Moisture? Weird! Hope mine doesn't do that!

I'm not sure, I can only say we have been on holiday this week and it has been TORRENTIAL rain all week.
But my phone hasn't got that wet at all?!?!?
Also when we returned to our apartment each night it was VERY VERY warm in there. I'm not sure if that's caused the issue or not.
Anyway, I'll ring HTC tomorrow.
Holy-
That scares me just looking at that! Mine is almost always in a case. :\

Same here, only time I take off my case is to change battery's
I was doing a clutch replacement on my car last Feb and I accidentally got brake cleaner on the back of my G1. If anyone felt or has/had a G1 will know the back has a rubber feel to it almost like the Nexus One. The cleaner was only on for a few seconds and the result was exactly what your picture is showing. It caused it to wrinkle and bubble up. I peeled it away and ended up buying a new cover.
yep, brake cleaner'll do that lol
had you tried to clean the trackball at some point recently?
if so, what did you use so i dont use it lol
I noticed a small raised area on my bottom cover that could be the start of something similar. Did you get a reply from HTC?

I haven'y been able to contact them yet due to the Easter break.
I will be doing it first thing Tuesday.
Hopefully they'll repair it under warranty because to be honest I ave no idea whats happened.
Okay.
Rung HTC today.
Phone is being collected tomorrow and they did not ask if it was unlocked.
They also didn't ask for a CC to charge against.
Fingers crossed.

I tried taking a photo of it, but it's near impossible to capture. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't look for it after reading the OPs post. If it progresses I'll take one and contact HTC. Right now if I run my fingernail lightly across the front where the bottom half meets the metal frame I can feel a bump on the "teflon." Also when held up to the light and viewed at the proper angle I can see a very small line or crack.
If I posted the photos I doubt many people would be able to see it. Hopefully it stays this way and if it gets worse HTC will fix it.
Update:
Phone was collected Wednesday at 3:30pm.
They rung today to say it had been repaired and had passed final test and will be shipped either today or monday!
Not a bad service at all.
I'm presuming because of the speed they will send a replacement.
And this is why I advise using a skin protector

Supposedly it's military grade stuff so I bet it wouldn't even affect it. At the very least, I guarantee the effects of what the OP posted would at least be minimized greatly, if not prevented entirely.

LOL! Brake fluid and brake cleaner can look at plastic and it will dissolve. I don't care what grade it is, I promise you it will not hold up to it.
I tried taking some photos under sunlight to capture what could be the start of this problem. They are more difficult to see in the photos than with the eye, so I'm not entirely crazy about this and I'm posting these photos in case this can be used as an early warning sign of a more serious problem for other users. As I mentioned before I probably wouldn't have noticed for quite some time if I hadn't read the OPs post. The darkened spot circled in the photos is raised and can be felt when running my finger along it. When viewed at the proper angle there also appears to be a small crease/crack on the bump.
I had kept my phone in a full phantomskinz before and have since moved to a flexible TPU style case, so there's very little chance of me having bumped it somewhere.
Possible reasons this could be happening? Heat? Moisture? I'm really not sure, but if it turns into a problem like the OPs it could be trouble. Anyone think I should just contact HTC or should I wait and see what becomes of it?

Bubbles under the touchscreen

Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.
I have the same problem, I am do not have official support from LG in my country
Someone has a tutorial in order to clean/remove this bubbles?
I have this too and i think that help only dissasemble to clean this bubbles

Had these bubbles under my screen too. Got mine repaired, at a lg approved shop here in norway. My bootloader was already unlocked before i sent it in. It came back pre-rooted, and they changed the lcd if anyone wonders

Purple tinge on my camera. Faulty sensor?

I believe my camera has faulty sensors. It seems to have a purple tinge in darker areas. Compared it with my brother's One and indeed, color on mine looks weird as hell around the shadows and darker areas.
Left is my brother's , Right is mine.

So time to send it in to change a new camera module?
Are you rooted? Maybe you could try a different rom. I remember this happened when Chad (dev) was switching the rezound over to ion memory management.. Long story short the cameras had a purple tint which he said could be memory leak. So given that experience I think it could be software.
I talk to much lol. If it were my phone id exchange it.

Make sure you have not set a certain non auto white balance, and make sure you are not applying a filter to all photos (the camera app can apply filters before photos are taken, the button at the right bottom). If they all checked out, then it's probably faulty sensor.

Nope. Everything stock, non rooted. One is the only phone I got so far that makes me feel I should stay stock. Everything just flies on stock launcher.
I've restored factory settings and its still the same. Looks like I have to send my phone for repairs then:silly:

Interesting you should mention this. I've seen a similar issue, but only when running a single app called "Bubbles". When the game starts the screen shows up for a second like below, and the game itself runs very slowly. I think something about the graphics doesn't like the One. Have you installed anything that might interfere with the graphics?
I would hard reset the phone before sending it back.

no.i dont have that app installed. besides i was watching youtube video on the phone when it happened.
if you watch closely,you can reaslize, in my pic ,the way the black part it has in the screen is different from the black in your pic, mine is more like "unevenly" pixel broken,as its not a regular rectangular shape like your "black".
i did hard reset.
its totally gone.
thanks for your concern.

questionable quality?

Hello I bought my one 2 weeks ago, and had been noticing some defects.
They are minor, and I really don't care that much... but it's funny how everyone said that the quality is better then the iphones...not mine.
Bougth mine in the store... here are some pics:
The sim slot looks like someone raped it, even if I was the first one to use it...

The top plate of the speaker is put on so clumsy... there is a bum in the middle of the white field and the right part behind the front plate is sharp and has a gap...
The phone is rocking when put face down... seen on the pic... If I force bend it the other way its ok for a hour and then back to this... (This is probably the most wtf thing since this is my most expensive phone and has this defect)
What do you think?
Overall its a great phone cant say that... just the quality is not impressive as it was said...

I only see 2 options:
1- That phone wasn't new when you bought it, even if it was in a sealed box. Pretty easy to seal a box and make it looks like it never had been opened.
2- You have damaged the phone yourself. (I do not think this is the case)
What I know is that it does not look like a new htc one at all. Maybe you got scammed??

Bought the phone from my counties leading mobile provider ... strange....should I write an email to htc or something?
Progress report:
The phone was sent to service the 2nd time...
First time the vibration motor died ( not my fault.. it overheated somehow)
Now the camera stopped focusing...blurry pics
Examle:
What im trying to say is that my phone has some serius quality problems becase i think that's not gonna be the last thing that will die on this phone...
