Is anyone seeing dust build up towards the bottom right side of the screen where the camera button is at? I just noticed, and wondering if anyone has that problem. It really isn't bad but if it gets worse in the following weeks I'll just exchange it for another one.

Hi,
i am from germany and bought my tab in canada a few days ago. I was a few times at best buy, before I decided to buy it. In the shop I bended, folded and assaulted the demo device like hell. I did not hear any clicking noise or saw other strange things happen.
Now back in germany, I found the time to play with my device and found the following problems (in Canada I just took it out of the box to verify that it is not a DOA):
* When I grab the tab with my left hand on the left side and with the right hand the right side and apply slightly (!) pressure in contrariwise direction, then I hear a noticeable clicking noise in the top left corner (although I am not 100% sure that it is from there, but for sure on the left side somewhere).
* There is a very tiny little black spot/dust/dirt between screen and glass (or between glass and coating?). If I slighty push with a finger at this point then it look like there is a bubble or fluid around this spot. It is hardly noticeable during normal work, but I am worried if it has side effects in the future.
I could live with the latter, but the former makes me crazy.
As samsung is currently not allowed to sell the tab in germany, I can not find any warranty information on the german website. Do you know if Samsung offers in general international warranty so that I can send it in for repair in germany?
Any other adice? Maybe a DIY repair for the clicking noise?
Best wishes,
Klaus

I think I have the same issue as this guy here:

Moving to Q&A
I have a similar problem on the right side near the speaker. I noticed that if I pushed on the back the adhesive would hold it for a second, but then pop back out.
I tried exchanging it but the guy refused after I examined another device they had which had the same problem.
Honestly, as an electrical engineer, I can't fathom how my issue could progress to something worse after looking at a disassembly. Maybe one day I'll take it apart and fix it, but it's not a high priority. I'd classify it as a cosmetic flaw.
What I suggest is just buy a case and forget about it--that's what I did.
@oclock:
If i where you I'd contact Samsung germany first and ask, if they refuse go to the netherlands or whichever is closest and ask if they can help you.
Personally I'd be furious for such a flaw considering it's far from cheap
The little black spot sounds like it might be the start of the infamous "Newton's ring' also know as 'oil slick and,'moisture under screen'. It should be covered under warranty and people have successfully done that. Other people are putting the unit in the fridge or blowing into the charge port.
I'm not sure how it happened, but I noticed a crack in the glass of my tab's bezel. It is in the bottom right-hand corner, below where the notification area would generally be holding it in landscape mode. The crack doesn't cover the screen so I figured it was no big deal as everything was working fine.
Now a week or two later I'm noticing really weird issues with the touch response. Most of the time everything is working just fine, but every now and then things will either lock up and I can't interact with the device at all, or it will randomly start swiping through all my homescreens moving to the right. I also seem to have extra difficulty getting a response when touching near the edges of the screen.
I did a factory reset but the problem persists- it seems like a hardware issue but since it is happening so sporadically I am wondering if there could be anything else going on. Anyone encounter anything like this?
Hello,
So, I received my Prime on 2/8/12 and I absolutely adore it. However, I have noticed that on the right side of my screen near the bottom, the very edges seem to be able to be depressed just slightly. The best word I can come up with is Spongy. If I press quickly I can hear where the case and the screen come together and click softly. There is no Creaking or anything.
Is this a known defect or is it just a soft spot on the case and there is nothing to worry about? So far I have not received a straight answer on it. It certainly doesn't effect anything. I have decent wifi connectivity in an old Cement Style Apartment and the screen is perfect. I walked in knowing the GPS wasn't going to work and had very little worry or interest in GPS in a tablet.
Thanks for your help!

I know exactly what you're saying...but I'm almost 100% sure that there's no issue here. It just happens to be a place where there's no clip to fully secure it and it doesn't come together exactly in that location, but it's not going to cause an issue.
That is what I was assuming as well. I wanted to make sure. I am so happy with this tablet thus far, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't looking at a defect. Takes a huge load off my mind and my wife's as well. For as much as we paid for it I would hate to see something small be the cause of some major flaw.
Thank you so much!
Hmm, It seems I have a Spongy spot on all sides of my tablet. Right side on the bottom (near where you would hold it in Landscape), On the top near the camera (I can actually feel alot of give here and hear the case clack against it when I even just hold it in Portrait mode), Just below the volume rocker and another beside the Power adapter area.
Sadly I am starting to think this isn't exactly normal. Am I the only one thinking it might be time to head back to office depot?

After reading this, I checked the spot by the camera, and I have that too. You really shouldn't worry about it though...they're WAY within tolerances for devices of this kind...I mean, it moves like what, 0.001mm?
My first one was the same way as it the one I just got as a replacement (I sent the first one in for an unrelated problem). I wouldn't worry too much about it.
So everyone says not to worry. I am really glad to hear that More people are having this problem than just myself. Yes it is a very slight movement, however, I was worried about it hindering the screen. I called office depot today and they said they would refund me if I wished. I think I will probably call off the refund. It is an amazing tablet and I love it to death. Hopefully nothing worse comes of it as time goes on.
I have a lot of thinking to do I suppose. I kind of feel like if I take the refund I am going to have to take a step backwards, due to the loss of the quad core. Though, between my wifes Dual core and my quad core I see very little difference between the two.
Hey everyone,
I noticed a small dark spot on the left of the pictures I was taking with the phone, and ignored it. This was about 2 months ago.
But just today, I turned on the camera and saw a large smiley face dark patch on the camera. iv tried cleaning it with compressed air, rubbing alcohol, restarting the phone, reflashing the stock firmware. Nothing is helping.
Im really really annoyed, for a phone so expensive why is it plagued with so many problems? Nothing is stopping me from tossing this thing and getting an HTC or something because I am getting a bit fed up with the pink spot, usb port problems, grey spot etc etc. Anyway, enough complaining.
For now, any suggestions?

I'll give you $20 for the phone.
Didn't realise this was a sale thread...
It's not. When people throw tantys along the lines of 'I'm going to throw this phone against the wall & get a <insert brand/model of phone here>', most people on here roll their eyes and/or laugh. And tend to ignore the person posting same.
Now...To your issue.
It may well be a physical issue with the camera/lens. There may be something trapped inside the glass covering the lens (maybe at manufacture), or it could be a scratch/blemish of some sort on the glass itself.
If it's that much of an issue, I'd send it in for warranty service. Obviously if it's an issue around a scratch or blemish on the glass covering the lens that has developed after you bought the phone, you might well have problems getting it fixed under warranty.
The other thing you could try (you didn't give us any info about rom) would be to go back to stock if you're currently not running stock to rule out a firmware issue, though you did say you noticed it two months ago & let it slide.
To me, that sounds like it's either a hardware problem with the camera/sensor or that lens/glass issue I mentioned.
I too got a spot on the top right hand corner if I use the camera, not otherwise. It's very annoying and now my s2 is NOT in warranty period. What should I do? The upper glass on camera is clean without any scratches.
When I push (lightly) on the bottom area of the display - the capacitive button area - there is a pretty loud creak every time, as if the display pops out of the case and pushing it snaps it back in. All I have to do is touch either corner of the bottom of the display and I get this creaking. At that point, it stops, but if I try it again five minutes later it creaks again. Does this happen to anyone else, and is it a big enough deal to consider an exchange?

I don't have that problem. In my opinion, that is something pretty annoying and I would look to get a replacement, if possible

I experienced a similar issue on the TOP of the screen, where it the screen is flush with the body on the left side of the earpiece, but NOT completely flush on the right side of the screen (just under the front facing camera). The right side of the screen pops out a little bit. Anyone experience this? I am going to bring this to AT&T to see if I can get a replacement.

i had the exact same problem with the onex, what ever you do, dont squeeze it back in, you will end up with a yellow spot from what ever is underneath it, i went round the whole xcreen pushing and sticking it back in,it was all flush, no popping out on the corners or creeking, after about an hour i started getting yellow spots and lines at ther top under the speaker ans in the corner where it was popping out before, i actually got angry in the end and smashed the screen lol, cost me £170 from htc repair centre, phone is now better than when i purchased and a i regret to say its better than the onex+ i purchased while phopne was in repair, the scrolling on the onex+ is reall peaing me off now, its double clicking things, when i scroll it rubberbands and goes the other way lol, also it clicks on stuff in a different area to where my finger is sometimes when i scroll,i have a thread and im reporting it to htc after christmas, and i hope everyone else is, i want as many people as possible to get in touch with them so they no its serious, with a bit of luck we might get 4.2.1 earlier or at least a hotfix ota.Improved scrolling my ass.
