I"m guessing if it did, it would take a while, around a year or so...the phone has only been out for about 4 months. and most people have had it on an average for a couple of months...so we won't know till a while from now
P.S. and most probably have a case on their phone so they won't even know!

this topic has been discussed elsewhere, one of the reasons is if you open and close the back too much, it starts getting loose. I had this problem, I called HTC they send me another one...but I'm making sure not to open and close that back often anymore....however there is a fix....while I had the new cover on...I left the old cover in a cold dry place, such as your garage....things tend to shrink in the cold. After a few days I decided to put the old cover back on and it was fitting very well with almost no creaking at all . let me know if this helps...

just got the amaze from the mail 2 days ago
i noticed that i have 1 really tiny dirt, very tiny, not even noticeable unless you focus your eyes on it inside the screen, also the touch capacitive buttons make my phone looks like it has screen bleeding problem.
i want your opinion if you would mail it back and get a replacement or just deal with it.

Get it replaced. But the capacitive buttons does make it look like the screen is bleeding. I got used to it after 2 days or so. It's an amazing phone. I love it.
battery life, screen bleed, touch capcitive issues, some grounding issues
i already got the label and everything, just gotta drop it off.
i really like this phone, exchanging for the same one

But that's the thing. Unless your "screen bleed" is completely different than the pictures posted here every Amaze is going to be the same. The capacitive buttons are too bright on black screens and the light leaks through to the area of the screen right above them.
Every phone has this problem.
Sending it in will just get you another phone with the same problem.

i exchange phone on t-mobile all the time, if thats your provider, youll have to tell them about the issue, and hopefully they send you a replacement, its only going to be the phone, no battery case, just the phone, then once you get it you can then send your old one back without the battery and case cuz youre gonna be using them on the new one

Today I went to best buy to buy this because they price matched letstalk to 199$. The woman I delt with sighed and ughed the whole time. Really rude. I ended up adding a line. Burning a sim. And moving the phone to my main line to get the upgrade.
Now I noticed this when I got home but im disappointed in build quality. I dont know if it was me snapping the back cover back on. But the top of my screen was loose. And the bottom leaked light from the leds because well..the glue holding the screen clearly was not that good. I immediately called back and was upset and went to exchange and now im all fine.
But now im paranoid about snapping back in my back cover. How cheaply made is this thing? Anyone run into hardware issues yet? Best buy has a 30 day exchange policy. Thank god.

im referring to the bottom of the phone, when the leds were lit up, you saw on the side of the phone light leakage, and on the top of the phone if you pushed down gently on any corner the screen was loose.
Sounds like a bad device. I haven't had any problems and since there aren't many threads about it, I'd say that other users aren't having problems either.

i just hope this isnt a common issue, i don't want it to happen to this one as well.
They wouldn't give me a price match to letstalk
I can assure you that this is NOT a normal issue with this phone... But, if you don't think something is right about it then you have every right to exchange! It's YOUR money and if your not happy then exchange away...
Only reason I got is because they price matched. I told them I know its not on your list. But other best buys have done.

im just gonna be super fragile and not squeeze the screen when putting on the back cover if i ever have to take it off now. >_< just precaution! i dont wanna ever have to get a refurb.

Samsung's thin battery covers are reasonably robust regarding battery removal and handling. Even improperly installed, the plastic has given and snapped into place. I owned a Charge and Galaxy Nexus with similar battery covers and I have never broken a tab.
I have (3) batteries for my Note 2 and swap every other day without worry of breaking anything. Samsung knows removable covers...
Yeah ive had a nexus and s3 no issues. Note 2 day one screen lose from snapping in battery cover or something . Go figure.

My HTC EVO 3D's screen is getting worse and worse seemingly after the last OS update to version 4.1.1 from HTC. I think it's software related because it doesn't happen all the time and turning the screen off for a few seconds makes it go away for a little while and there have been no significant drops of the phone. Factory reset didn't help. The phone is not rooted.
Here's a 15 sec video clip so you can see what I mean:
plus.google.com/u/0/106879723793109771975/posts/jmp9YEuEVoz
(this is my first post so I don't get to embed a link to an outside page)
Those white dots show "touches" that the screen is registering. Anyone have any ideas what I should do? This Rogers phone is over a year old, so Rogers won't replace it and I don't think HTC will now either.
I don't have a screen protector on either.
So, screen protector is not the problem. No huge impacts with the screen too.
Guessing a digitizer issue. I'd take it for repair.

These digitizers are notoriously bad... I've been through 4. Three were refurbished though

Where did you get 4.1.1 update?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Fully agree, Digi is the issue. Take it to your mobile provider for them to look at it... explain to them about you possibly think its the Digi and they will take it in.
Failing that, HTC direct will beable to help
But how do you got official 4.1.1??
He's mistaken. He meant ICS.
Well, that's funny! The EVO I sent back that I got on launch day, since it was a few months old did that at the bottom. The replacement does that at the top, now I've seen it on the right side. Maybe the replacement that's coming this week will do it on the left!
Yep, sounds like a bad digitizer to me. I replaced one about three months ago, and this one is going out, now. First one I picked up was cheap with "tools" and some adhesive. I just ordered another from Amazon, that's supposedly from HTC, for a little more $$$. I guess I'll see how that one goes. Usually can find them for less than 20, and combos (digitizer and LCD) for about 60.
There are threads that detail how to replace them, and videos on you tube. Not hard, if I can do it, just take your time and follow the instructions.

Hey everyone,
Just got back from the Verizon store. I decided to have the rep there put on my screen protector, so that if they did a bad job they would redo it. They did a great job putting the protector on, so i left and put a case on the phone in my car.
When i got home i was taking a closer look at the device and noticed scratches on the bottom half of the laser. Now I cant stop looking at it, although my girlfriend cant even notice them.
What would you guys do? I know its just a scratch, but painful to walk out of a store and already see damage on a device that i didnt cause. That being said, i know it will look ridiculous trying to point the scratch out if i go back in the store.

Call and get a replacement for a known problem, like the auxilary port doesn't work in most cars, etc.
Mine had the same scratches straight out the box from Verizon.
Are you living with it, or trying to get a replacement? there is a chance that maybe he didnt do it and it was that way out of the box in the case as well. Anyone else see this? the bottom 1/4 of the laser has scratches on it

As an update (and probably final post) to this thread - I had some friends over who have an eye for detail, not a single one of them could see the scratch. Based on this i decided to give it a day or two, and im no longer obsessing over it.
Somewhat of a life lesson, nothing stays perfect forever - no longer losing sleep over this

I've been seeing a psychologist for my ocd for years and one of the biggest problems I have is "looking" for things wrong with phones I buy. His advice was to scratch whatever phone I buy in some way right away. He said eventually something like a drop could happen anyways. Nothing is perfect.

I do the same thing. Anything I buy or have has to be minty mint or it bothers me. Especially with phones I freak out when there's a scratch that for some reason only I can see.
Putting a little ding or scratch in helps stop obsessing. You should try it. Maybe it will help you also.

Hey is anyone else experiencing this issue with the phone back peeling? It is really bad alongside the audio jack. It's starting to crack around the input for the charger also. Seems like a defect. I wouldn't think this would be normal wear and tear after only a month.

Mine isn't doing that at all, but I've only taken the back off one time since the day I bought the phone. My battery and SD card promo pack are showing up tuesday, and I'm sure mine will be peeling once I start swapping batteries every day.
Luckily for us, replacements are available: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=lg+v10+back+cover&_sacat=0
I don't use a case... But really this shouldn't be happening. I have taken the back off maybe 5 times? This is something that younger expect to start happening after 6 months of use.... And what about the spot beside the charging port?
I'm gonna see if I can maybe get them to send a replacement back. I don't feel like this is something you'd normally expect of a 6 week old phone. IMHO

Your right, shouldn't be happening. I never go naked so mine is fine. Looks like spots where something rubs or catches. I would contact LG and/or your carrier.

Yeah.. I mean I'll admit sometimes in the dark it's probably more difficult to get it just right. But totally would think LG would've counted for that and made it a little more durable... Literally only like 6 weeks old... Lol

Wow. Mine has the same problem. I talked to Verizon, they can't do anything about it, LG wants me to send the back to them and they will investigate and see whose fault it is. I'm having reservations and it because I will have to go bareback (???) for a few days. I'm still pissed because it was less than 2 weeks when I got the phone.

At least their being honest with you. Take it as a chance to invest in a wireless charging back cover.
This is a serious lack in customer service. What a mess. I will be calling next week and also sending pics and complaints to Tmobile. This phone is unfortunately not turning out to be all its cracked up to be. First with the busted screens and now this not so "Dura"skin peeling off the back. This should not be an opportunity to go and buy something else.... Now if LG wants to send me a $15 gift card or something I'll get another back....
Don't get me wrong the internal hardware is great but then so is the G4. I bought it because of its durability primarily and this is quickly becoming an area where it appears to be lacking... Now I just have a "heavy" phone.... With similar features as some other not so heavy ones...

I started a thread on Reddit also. I sent emails to Android Central and Android Police. I don't personally have a Twitter account but if you do maybe consider Tweeting it to LG with a link to the thread so that they can see these multiple reports.

Same problem with my phone. I've had it since day one and it's peeling in the exact same way in the same spot. I called LG and they said they'd replace it after I send them the back of my phone and they send me a new back which would take up to 10 days. What a joke. I love the phone otherwise but I bought it so I wouldn't need to buy a case. Not that the cases work with the fingerprint scanner. I'm glad for jump on demand. I think it's ridiculous they won't send us a part that cost them a few cents but they send out batteries and sdcards for free.
