Guy's have you smell your S-Pen in your GN8? Mine smelled like a burnt plastic, is this normal? I don't see any melted parts on the pen either. I'm just concerned.
Lol, my s pen didnt smell. It is too strange, the s pen storage is in the oposite place where we have the exynos and the copper heatsink so it wont be burned by the phone I think. It is near of the battery, did you feel your phone hot? Mine never go warm (under hard use)
I have the GN8 t-mobile. And yeah it heats up with moderate use, like playing graphic intensive games. I'm just worried if it's something out of the ordinary that will pose a greater concern in the long run. ?
the note 4 s-pen smelled like leather, but I don't think the one in the note 8 has a typical distinctive smell.
My spen smells just slightly plastic, and by the way my phone never gets hot, my other notes(3 4 5 7) heated more than this new one
Is the first time in almost three months that I "sniff" my s pen. And yes, smells like plastic, but not like burn one. More like the inside of a PC that is working.
Just pulled my cold s pen out. The tip does smell a bit of rubbery.

I've talked to their Samsung Expert they' ve said it's an excess heat from the device that giving off that smell to the s-pen. And he suggested to take the spen off fof a couple of minutes. Well it does take away the smell but it still returns after i put it back and take out again.
Also he suggested I can file for the warranty if it continues like this. I just got this phone last december . R they gonna send me a refurbished unit?

I know the smell your talking about and it's not an issue. The pen also has a chip in it and that smell is just the smell of computer chips. I have built many gaming rigs in my lifetime and all new chips have that smell. I happen to really like the smell myself lol
I think he just wanted to make everyone smell their s pens.
I think this post is even better than that "light bleed" posts.

Here's the deal, I had an iPhone 3gs long time ago. That shiny metal frame around the screen was just not for me. I tought : "Why not brush this thing up?" I asked my friend Google (maybe in 2009) and did it. Just amazing.
What do you guys think about doing that on the nexus 4 ?
file it down to black maybe.. mines already dented.. looks really ugly! unless i paint it 0.0
If you want to, go for it. I'm also one of those that took some sandpaper to the chrome bezel because I also thought it was always scuffed pretty bad after normal use, and after doing that it looked awesome. Also helped with the resale value back when I got my first android device (Infuse 4G).
Main thing about the N4 though, to its benefit the shiny trim is a dark chrome, which imo looks right, plus mine is covered up by my case for the time I had it thus far and she hasn't got beat up too bad yet.
I say go for it, if it looks sweet, you'll probably be the founder of this technique and have a bunch of people follow. If not, it'll still be unique.

you can tell something is metal or not from the temperature difference, the bezel is plastic because its not cold, aluminum would be especially cold

Dude, wait! it's only a little corner I didn't sand papered all the frame.
eh.. just do the whole thing now and give it a custom paint job.
like red and then get the red leather dbrand skin for the back.. something like that
Dropped my phone, bezel down from about 1 metre. Totally squashed the bezel, my phone has a 'lip' now, thanks to the bezel that got squashed. Great way to protect my front camera

There's this company that makes super tough protectors, it's called Rhino-something. It's so tough that it protects against drops and glass cracking and all.
I think so.

Man, are you kiding ?
That's what people use as an alternative to protect their trucks bed instead of the plastic liner. Its what I got in mine(different brand). I've seen a truck had the whole paint job done with it... looks closer to a slight textured matte finish. The phone in that link was crap. If you do want something like this on your phone, look for the ones than have less texture/clumps. Speedliner is smoother and they also sell spray cans of that stuff at the auto parts store.

I don't think the girl's case is odd at all. If you look carefully at Cnet's phone after the drop test, you'll notice that the panel actually came off the phone because of the dent. The force of the drop was lost in the denting and separating. i.e. The cnet phone got lucky. Not saying the One isn't tough. (It is slippery, though )
Thing took it like a champ. Pretty sure an s4 wouldn't have survived, and would have melted to the grill after the screen was shattered and the plastic destroyed from the previous tests.
I don't think the One's screen *glass* is particularly special, just the latest flavor of gorilla glass, right? So it shouldn't fare any better or worse than an iphone or other GG covered screen. I saw a youtube drop-to-pavement test that showed a similar shattery aftermath for both those devices.
Hi,
I was just inserting a sd card when I discovered some cracks at the bottom of the frame.
Does everybody has this?

Also could anybody tell me it is normal that the tooth in the backcover in the red circle is missing, compared to the thoots in the green circles?
Thnx

Doesn't seem like cracks. Looks like fusing of plastic and aluminum was not perfect, but nothing to worry about.

For the cracks at the bottom, mine as same as yours and it looks like the draw lines.

Well.. called my Local Phone shop and will receive a new back cover. But the cracks.. it should not crack and I think it is a HUGE design flaw.. even more so when more note 4's have the same cracks. A 780+ euro should not crack! Dont get me wrong.. I love the note 4.. And maby there is a little samsung fan boy with in me, but this, I just can not accept this.
I wouldn't call that a crack, it's at the point where metal frame is molded onto plastic chassis, I'd say it's expected to split due to the heat and etc.
Everyone has that on the bottom I think it's normal

Again, you do know that, that plastic and the metal frame are one piece? They don't come apart. In the process of fusing plastic to the aluminum, there are some tolerances, especially considering that it is under the cover.
When you say crack, one assumes, it developed after the purchase. I would probably assume you bought it like that.
And no, all back covers are supposed to be like that.
Just return your phone please. Thanks.

Dude. You're just bumping thread to try to stay relevant. It is normal, it is hidden under cover, and has no bearing on the look and function of the phone. Does not get worse. Give it a rest. Replace your freakin phone already. Sell it. Throw it in a garbage.
Btw if you started disassembling body of most of the products, I bet you'll find imperfections that are not detrimental and are generally not visible until disassembled.

Got my replacement note 4 a few days ago,and noticed that the metal bezel sits a little bit higher off the glass on one side then the other,was wondering if this is a normal ,and by off the glass referring to metal lip around glass,not a huge deal,but...None the less it's there.
Your saying that the metal trim....is thick? As in its raised a couple mm? Mine Has It Straight All around....Not Going Above Or Unto Of The glass.
Lol I mean the metal trim raises above the glass,but not evenly.
Yea it's raised above the glass....but evenly lol BRO just enjoy your phone already don't dwell on it bro

Dude I think that's your "gap". Every note 4 has one. it isn't that much a problem like I thought I'd be. I clean my screen all the time hate fingerprints and smugness but I'd say it's "normal" according to the Galaxy Note 4 manual.

Little physical imperfections like that are pretty common with all phones. My Note 4 has a slightly loose power button, my Nexus 5 screen was about a millimeter higher on one side than the other...
Unless it's really causing an issue for you I wouldn't worry about it.
I can live with Minor imperfections like this since I trade up phones ever year but screen issues are a big No No for me. God gifted me with 21-21 vision.

Hi . I been noticing a "brunt plastic" smell on my Spen .
Could someone check if it has the same smell?
I notice this from day 1 till now (2 weeks) and the smell has not gone away.
The smell sometimes gets very strong and i suspect its the heat from the phone heating the pen up , causing the plastic smell.
I searched forums everyhwere but cant find any topic on this issue.
I did manage to find a Note4/Note3 forum that mention that thier spen has been giving a wierd smell but not sure if its the same.
Im abit worried if its a major problem or just a normal common thing for all note 5.
It's common. The Note 4 S Pen also smelled this way. Just don't smell your pen.
Yes I smell it too. Weird. Because it certainly does not get hot enough to cause that while in the phone...
I smell it too. I'll just pass it off as lead-based paint
Guys not trying to be rude but if your S Pen is within your smelling range you're doing something wrong. Why is the pen so close to your face? haha
Only because I read this post!
Yup, I smell it too and I'm pretty certain I never saw smoke come out of my phone. Probably just the cancerous chinese plastic.

Thx for the reply guys.
Another thing i need to confirm with u guys is that sometimes the pen is slippery and has a wet feel to it.
I don't know if im over-thinking but could it be that the plastic melts and causes that wet feel to it?
I'm seriously considering to send my Note 5 for warranty. Im worried that this may be a huge problem in the long run.

Wow, you guys must really have senstive sense of smells. I never noticed a "burnt plastic" smell from my spen until I smelled it up close after reading ths post. Yes my spen has the smell too but I doubt I will ever ecounter that smell again unless I intentionally smell it up close.
I don't find it out of the ordinary. Lots of plastics are welded ultrasonically. I was amazed when I first saw an ultrasonic welder in action in the 90s.
It's not melting or the smell of it melting. It's just the way it smells. Plastic smells bad usually, especially low-quality plastics.

Sorry but this is an absolutely ridiculous assumption. People will always find something to complain about. Look up condensation, if anything is getting "wet" thats the likely cause. What environment does this happen in? Are you in a tropical climate, and it happens when you bring your phone inside an air conditioned space?
