[Q] Noticable gap on front, top and bottom? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had my SG2 for a couple of days and I noticed a gap on front, top and bottom which makes it look very cheap. The case surround is slightly too big at the top and bottom yet the sides are sealed.
I don't have a camera just now so can't take pictures of it but will try to get some soon.
Anyone else noticed it or maybe it's a manufacturing defect with my phone?

Yes search its been posted here .

yep and annoying thing is that dust and particles gut stuck!

Noticed this on my GS2 also. Is it normal for there to be a gap? It's attracting quite a bit of dust.

[Q] battery cover peeling?

hi guys,
i recently noticed that there is a layer on my battery cover which seems to be peeling off of late, near the top of the cover where you normally take off the cover. anyone else facing this problem?
Several people have reported this in the past, you need to be careful to not over flex the back when removing, replacement aren't expensive though
ah its because of flexing... doh! thanks!
do you know about the paint on the rim of the phone then? a little bit of the blue paint has sorta chipped away even though its always been in a cover. really weird.

Same again really,I believe they use a laquer coating so it's prone to peeling, just one of those annoying design flaws, I believe the s4 bezel is aluminium
you've been a real help, thanks!

curved 3d protector

Hi guys, has anyone tried a 3d curved glass protector yet? I'm seeing them on eBay for around £5.
If anyone has 1 could you please give some feedback on fitment.
Cheers
Probably isn't really curved on the edges likes pictured. The edges on most of the tempered glass are rounded but not rounded around the display. If you order this you should report back on how it works out!

Has anyone tried this or anything similar yet?
might want to try order this

got it from Singapore online shopping platform. Seller do deliver internationally. Choose the 4D type.
That one is one of the nicest looking ones I've seen, I tried a few and so far they've all had the rainbow effect. Does that one have it too? Is it fully adhesive or just the edges?

Fully covered edge to edge. Glass fully stick to screen. So no rainbow after effect. With proper case installed less chances of dust entering the sides.

I have some of these Chinese 4D things.. but they are just like the Oneplus official cutting of the sides of the screen by 1mm or so... really annoying..
Yours doesn't cut anything off?
EDIT: I just see the photos loaded. It's exactly the same as the original crap one. This screen protector easily wins in terms of touch and durability and fat finger protection but it's cutting of the sides of your screen.. REALLY annoying.. serious design flaw.. I don't know why Oneplus designed it this way and why the stupid Chinese clone companies are making the exact same mistake...

not so much cut off but still annoying as hell LOL im still hunting for the best one...
if u want the side to be perfect alignment thn i recommend Nuglas. but Nuglas is only borders adhesive..so rainbow will come and go.
ORZLY is really good! I just received package and no rainbow effect nothing. And even sides are pretty visible. (I didn't centered it well so I have left side cutted a bit more than right side but it's still more visible than on official one)

S9 plus slight body finish imperfection.

well there is something I want to show you guys that has been bothering me for a while now, I didn't want to share it before cuz I find it rather ridiculous since I am the kind of person who notice things other people usually don't. and i'ts most likely my OCD just kicking in.
there is a very slight imperfection near the headphone jack where the glass meets the metal, it seems like a small bend, I'm not sure. here is a video of it.
https://youtu.be/A7dDnzRKFOs
does anyone has experience with anything similar ?.
could it be just the painting process? I can see that some people online are experiencing some paint pealing off. isn't the aluminum andonized though. whats funny is that there are some micro scratches on the device here and there but they don't seem to bother me as much as this. my friends can barely notice it.

I guess you don't use a case? I use bulky OtterBox cases and I couldn't see the issue you're referring to even if I tried.

my phone has been in a case since day 1. in spiden neo hybird. the thing is that you can only see it under certain light. I believe it came from the factory this way. it looks like it's machined this way or something.
it seems that this slight imperfection is present on all corners near those white bands but not on all S9 plus colors though. only on the shinny variant liliac purple and gray. the black doesn't seem to have it. mine has this corner worst than the others but I can see all the corners are suffering slightly from this looking at the phone directly with overhead light.
I even watched a disassembly video where the guy removed the glass back of the phone and I can see how it's has a bend near the white line in the corner. I think it's part of the manufacturing process of the aluminum andonizing of these colors. since I think the aluminum frame is made from a single block. since unlike other phone that use a plastic buffer between the metal and glass there is no way to hide the machining imperfections which is expected I guess.
Had this on my s8 also silver model.
Did you peel the plastic protective strip off? (Hint: you didn't, I can see it).

Fabric sctrach

My P30 pro came out og the box from fabric with huge scratch on it. And several small around the bezel.
The scratch vere on the bezel top left.
Anyone Else having this?

What the F? That's very strange. Guess I'll have to inspect mine at the shop. Sigh.
I have visible spots between the bezel and the backplate. You may see it in good light.
I think I may have a kind of OCD since I am so irritating upset about minor details.. ???

Might be a solution for Dust problem...

Member posts 82,Thanks: 22
Hmmmm..... it's clear that the gap between camera lens and plastic rectangular bump should be filled to prevent intrusion of dust,,,,,
For all new Curtana users
Just apply a macro(small) drop of glue and rub it along sides of lens and let it dry for few min. it may make a seal to prevent dust from going inside ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, just a small drop , better use a transparent glue
For those users having dust inside camera lens
Use a strong jet of air , don't use HOT air it may damage internals (sometimes jet nozzle is available with vaccum pump) and blow it in all the 4 sides of rectangular lens this may help. Else go to Authorised Mi service center
This is a poll for CURTANA u may participate ?

Now with broken nothing can be done
teardown your phone and find a Curtana glass protector (Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba) and fix it in place for original camera lens( might be a hard process)
Or
Else go to Authorised Mi service center ?
Is there any photo for the guide?

everyone concerned should have a look at this thread. apparently there is a gap between top-glass and the plastic camera hump with the worst gap in top right corner (main camera corner) and a smaller gap in bottom left corner supposedly letting dust through.
i took some macro shots of the four corners of mine.
both images are of the SAME worst top-right hand corner gap of my phone in slightly different angles . one seemingly has a gap other doesnt. visually its very tricky to find the gap, i would advise trying slotting the gap with a thin paper to find one if there is. i tried and could'nt. maybe it is fixed in the new ones, only time would tell.
the only proper solution i can think of is wicking some glue into the gaps with a piece of paper
