Howdy all,
Anyone notice their "chrome" trimming is chipping off of the phone? Mine is coming off on the bottom right corner, I'm left handed so the phone right corner rest in my palm. Phone is a year old.
Cheers.

Haven't had an issue myself. Do you use a case?
I don't have any chrome trim left lol....cheap paint is all it is.
You'll get over it...heck my screen is shattered and i am using box tape to hold the glass together for about a 2 months now and i don't even notice anymore lol....good thing is i don't worry about getting the screen scratched anymore either

I just noticed the glass screen of my Atrix a not equally put under the bezel, the left hand side is a bit higher (not higher than the bezel but almost) while the right hand side is under the bezel like it should be. I can easily feel this using my hand touching the screen edge or use a paper and put it in the middle of the screen then move it around and while it cannot move out from the right hand side, it can slip out on the left hand side. So is this normal? If not then it should be considered a hardware defect?
My phone is still in the returnable period (just a few days left) so I want to confirm this urgently!
Many thanks!

Not normal. Mine is even all the way round. I would get a replacement if it were me. Also, if you get a replacement from a store, inspect it before you leave with it.
Does anybody know how to replace the trim that edges around the screen of the Note? Being my stupid self, I had my Note unprotected (no case) sitting in my lap as I was driving home from work. As I made a sharp turn....BOOM!! my Note slipped from my lap and collided with the middle console of my car. When I got home I noticed that the bottom of the white trim was chipped. Bummer I know it's not a big deal but it's starting to bug the crap outta me! So on to my question, is the white trim around the screen detachable? Is it one piece or is it part of the screen? I would like to get this replace. I'm very anal with my phones.

If its the same as the s2 skyrocket the digitizer/lcd is attached to it.
Edit: just get a case.....problem solved

I got my pebble blue GS3 a week ago. It was used, but in pristine condition, with a scratch-less back and front. Since day one, I've been using a rubber back protector for the phone, which covers the back as well as the sides completely.
Today, I dropped my phone from pocket height on the floor, and picking it up I didn't notice any scratches or cracks and the phone worked perfectly fine. The phone was in the back protector as always, so I didnt think any thing of it and put it back in my pocket.
A few hours later, sitting on my laptop, I picked up my phone to make a call and noticed the golden colored discoloration in the bottom right corner of the phone (see attached pictures). I assume this was the corner on which the phone was dropped.
The discoloration appear to be air bubbles, stuck inside the screen. When I press the corner of the bubble, it shifts slightly and changes shape as air bubbles under screen protectors do. When I press it really hard, the golden starts disappearing and becomes blue just like the rest of the phone. The screen and touch works completely perfectly, and there is absolutely no difference in the quality of the AMOLED. From this, I assumed that the digitizer is fine, but I cant for the life of me figure out how these bubbles formed and why they wont go away
I searched for hours, but couldn't find a single post with the same problem. I would love to hear some ideas to try and get rid of this discoloration. I've barely had this phone for a week, and seeing it ruined already makes me sad
If it cant be fixed, I guess the final solution would be to get the front glass replaced. But before that, I would like to try any and all suggestions that you guys might want to throw my way
The glass is glued to the digitizer whit some sort of gel.
Your glass has come off the digitizer and form air bubbles.
The only way to restore it is change the glass and digitizer.
Maybe a really tight case can solve it when it pushes the glass to the digitizer.

I was planning on getting a heat gun somehow, and heat the corner at 180F. It is said its the temperature at which the gel between the front glass and the digtizer melts or something, and becomes easy to seperate.
Do you think this would work? There is just a golden colored bubble, and it isnt affecting the working of the digitizer in any way. It is just next to the back button, and the button works absolutely perfectly.
Still waiting for any more suggestions on how to fix this Would also appreciate if someone could link me to someone with the same problem as this. I swear I've searched for hours and didnt find anything.. I can't be the only one in the world
The golden color is the top film from the digitizer.
So I don't think a heat gun is doing the job.
You can try but be very careful not to damage it more.
Wish you good luck.

You are not alone. My S4 have the same issue, and the screen bezel is thiner than the S3... Started a couple weeks ago just after a visit to the carrier tech support, was there for unknow poor signal issue, solved by a SIM replacement and reprogramming. I know they dropped on the floor or on a work table/desk it as is "naked" without the protective case... Came back after a couple of days when I noticed the "stain" on right bottom corner and they said they handle the devices careful also have rubber pads on floor and tables to protect in the event of an "accidental drop"... So they will not replace for free, only via insurance and I have to pay a difference $$$
Anyhow, after that I dropped it so bad on rough concret right on that corner, protective case do they work but I think that corner took a good shock... I do massage the spot and it gone away for a couple of days then come back. I don't k know if temperature changes affect as it could be moisture from condesation penetrating the thin edge between bezel and screen...
I will try different cases to see if it can mask the damage until I can afford the insurance diference $ then will replace or maybe upgrade my phone...
Not later than 5 mins, my phone fell flat back from three feet. And its okay. No problems yet.
What's your drop story?
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
Ive droped it about 5 times now, the first without the case on and all it did was chip some chrome off but ill replace middle housing when it comes to selling so no panic there the other 4 times were onto concrete screen down in a thin side case, and not a scratch yet
I dropped my mega a few times with no problem ,once I accidentally caught my headphone cord with my hand then it went flying to the ground like a sling shot and survived. A few days ago though, I dropped it face down on bitumen and the screen cracked from the top corner going down towards the middle. It was still functional straight after, but about half an hour later I couldn't swipe to unlock it. It was a rainy day so I'm thinking maybe water seeped in and stopped it working? Either way I think it's a write off
The cover I had covered the corners and sides, but had openings for the front top and bottom portions. I think if I had a cover that covered all sides completely it may of survived.
I think it all comes down to luck and how the phone lands, if you have a cover and it hits a corner that is protected it should survive.
Hi guys, can you check your HAM2 on the corner chrome bezel edge, it appears to have a straight crack or separation on all 4 corners, is this normal? Or it is really like this that the chrome 4 corners bezel has a separation on it?
I see it too!

Wow, I never noticed this! Probably because I have a case, but it doesn't cover the entire phone anyway.
For those wondering, the chrome-looking band around the phone seems to be made up of 4 pieces, 1 for each side of the phone.
So funny I mentioned crack, because the darn thing is irregular and not stright at all. It appears that it cracked. May be they cut it manually because labor in china is cheaper compare to buying a machine and cost of electricity?
Well, our phone has a pretty cheap price, so it should be excepted to see some "bad" things!
I would say that they are from the molding process of that particular piece of the phone. I don't think they are cracks.
I imagine every phone is like that based on everyone saying they see the same thing. I have them on mine as well. Nothing to worry about.
FYI had Trident case with tempered glass screen protector. Jaws of life to remove this last time severely cracked screen protector phone was bent 5 to 10 degrees. Reshaped the phone and 0 damage 100% intact. Flexible chassis and display makes for greatness. Wipes brow ...
I can barely see the line on my phone. I had to look several times to notice it.

was going to say 'nope, none here' - but upon real close inspection there is a very unnoticeable separation around each corner.
I've had mine in the orig HW case since day one. Did drop it off a cooler onto river rock (poolside) last month and it ended up face down on the pebble rock, front cover laying flat out. In fact the whole phone separated from the back cover
I was nervous when I saw it, but picked it up and the screen was not damaged :fingers-crossed: Just now saw a small chip out of the upper right corner that probably happened that day.
So far, I'm impressed for the money spent.
