I use my x4 since october and today I discovered it isn't 100% flat. When I put the phone screen down on the table I can fell little moves on opposite corners. I carry my phone in the front pocket and try not to make any pressure on it. I do not overheat my phone either. I can not see any bent on sides, it looks fine. Anyone having this issue too?
I haven't taken my phone out of the box yet but it could be from the camera 'bump' in the middle.

"Flat" laying on screen. When you put your phone screen down and can't feel any moves, phone doesn't "swing" when you press any of its corners.

Hey guys, there seems to be something a little irregular with the screen. When I press on the screen anywhere, there is a spot on the screen that appears to be what looks like pressure being exerted on it. Just like how it looks when you press on the LCD screen of a laptop. This happens also when i press on the case at the top on the left side. The spot I am talking about is about 1 in down from the top of the screen and about 1.5cm to the right from the left of the screen. It is not easily seen unless the screen is displaying a very dark background.
There is a membrane over the surface of the screen that will flex as any pressure is applied to the touch screen, both by the pen and by the frame. If you look at it through polarized sunglasses you can see the effect of any pressure quite dramatically. Unless the screen is malfunctioning or there is color distortion, I don't see a problem.

i dont think thats what hes talking about, he makes it sound like whne he touches the screen a "lcd ripple" appears somewhere else on the screen.
Mine does this when i slide hte keyboard, i can see one in the middle, it kinda worries me, especially since my last kaiser's screen broke and i didnt do anything, i just took it out of my pocket and it was like that.
I've had the g1 since launch and the charging cover is starting to get loose. The clip on the left side of the cover doesn't stay closed anymore and always hangs out halfway.
Just wondering if anyone has the same problem and found a fix.
Fix
OK, so I played around a little bit and realized that the clips on the left and right of the mini usb cover are not really used to keep the cover in place.
To tighten up the cover again I used 3 pieces of scotch tape, layered on top of each other, on the long side of the hexagon shape of the mini usb. Make sure the tape is on there well and wont come off too easily. It has worked so far for me, but don't know how long it will last.
If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be appreciated.
I've been contemplating taking mine off.
I took mine off. No need to open a flap to charge now
Had no probs whatsoever since
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.
I have always had my N6 in a basic spigen case, but noticed that one side is higher to the edge of the case than the other, I always thought it was the case. But the other day I looked a bit deeper and found that the screen is coming away from the body in the bottom right all the way up to the side buttons.
It is coming away from the thin black bezel as opposed to the coloured middle body. I first thought that maybe the LiPo was swelling and pushing it out (as it feels like it is forcing out as you can push it back down but springs straight back up again) so I took the back cover off and checked, the battery looks fine with no obvious puffyness.
So before I pull it fully apart to get at the screen:
How is the screen attached to that thin black bezel? Or, how is the screen adhered in place?
I have watched a few screen replacement videos but once they detach the screen from the middle body obviously they don't explain any further. I am hoping that the screen is adhered like the back panel so I can just clean and re-stick with new double sided tape.
My wife went to scan her ticket at the airport TSA podium and the screen reader could not read it. She had a paper ticket fortunately, so that worked fine. I suspect the plastic scratch cover that came with the phone is the problem, but when I try to get my finger nail underneath the white corner, it doesn't budge. She's had it since November and I can see some dirt getting in along the edges, but it's not enough. Any hints?

If it has a white corner, that was supposed to be removed as soon as you opened it. I think that's a temporary shipping protector. Just keep picking at it
I have left mine on, and have had it since November as well. I have had issues at some stores, Target specifically with it reading the online gift card barcodes. It is usually because of the brightness setting of the display that causes it to fail to read. If you still can't get the plastic off, check and make sure you have the brightness at the highest level. That's what has fixed it for me when I have the issue.
BTW, I have both the original plastic with the white tab in the bottom left corner, and a case with another plastic cover on it. The brightness setting is usually what causes it to fail to scan properly.
